Although an epidural block will make you more comfortable, you still may be aware of your contractions. You also may feel vaginal exams as labor progresses. When opioids are used, itching is common.
This itching can be treated with another medication. Other less common side effects related to opioids include nausea, vomiting, and breathing problems.
As with systemic analgesia, use of opioids in an epidural block increases the risk that your baby will experience a change in heart rate, breathing problems, drowsiness, reduced muscle tone, and reduced breastfeeding. These effects are short term.

A spinal block—like an epidural block—is a form of regional anesthesia. Medication is given as a single shot into the fluid around the spinal cord. It starts to relieve pain quickly, but it lasts for only an hour or two. A spinal block is commonly used for cesarean delivery. It has the same side effects and risks as an epidural block. A CSE block is another form of regional anesthesia. It has the benefits of a spinal block and an epidural block. The spinal part acts quickly to relieve pain. The epidural part provides continuous pain relief.
Lower doses of medication can be used with a CSE block than with an epidural block for the same level of pain relief. With general anesthesia , you are not awake and you do not feel pain. It can be started quickly and usually is used only for emergency situations during childbirth.
It is given through an IV line or through a mask. After you are asleep, your anesthesiologist will place a breathing tube into your mouth and windpipe. If you have undigested food in your stomach, it can come back into the mouth and be inhaled while you are unconscious.
How to Stop Pain - Quick Pain Relief
This can cause a lung infection pneumonia that can be serious. General anesthesia usually requires the placement of a breathing tube into the lungs to help you breathe while you are unconscious. Difficulty placing this tube is another risk. It also can make the baby less alert. In rare cases, the baby may need help breathing after birth. Combined Spinal—Epidural CSE Block: A form of regional anesthesia or analgesia in which pain medications are administered into the spinal fluid spinal block as well as through a thin tube into the epidural space epidural block.
Epidural Block: A type of regional anesthesia or analgesia in which pain medications are given through a tube placed in the space at the base of the spine. Episiotomy: A surgical incision made into the perineum the region between the vagina and the anus to widen the vaginal opening for delivery.

The Anières Program marks the opening of a new academic year at the Technion, in the presence of Prof. Ayelet Fishman, Dean of Students, Dr. Ran Gozli, Senior Vice President at ‘Raphael’ and Head of the Land and Sea Division, and with the participation of 250 Anières Program’s students.
On January 24th, we opened the new academic year with an exciting socio-cultural event attended by 250 students participating in the program, generously hosted by the Andrew and Erna Viterbi Faculty of Electrical & Computer Engineering.
After some mingling and light refreshments, we started the evening with a speech given by the Anières Program manager, Ira Lotman.
She reminded the participants that “the Anières Program is bound to order of the hour, and encourages its entire community to follow values like innovation, creativity and entrepreneurship – to improve our existence. We, the Anières Program’s team, the management of the program, our student council and the entire community – will continue to be available to each and every one of you, and we will harness this year’s great potential for development and new opportunities.”
The Anières Program’s founder and visioner, Marc Hamon, sent his blessing to the students – “Together with the Anières team, I want to congratulate our students, firstly for being part of this amazing institution – the Technion. I could not have found a better home in the whole world for the Anières program. Second,for studying a profession that is in very high demand and that will help you, your family and also the country.”
Jacques Levy, president of the historic Anières Alumni Association, added – “In your turn, within one of the most renowned universities in the world, you will train to one day soon become engineers active in cutting-edge technologies. It is at the end of your studies, once you graduate from the Technion, that you will realize how this journey of self-discovery that you are now undertaking will help shape the person you will become.
To do this, be curious about everything and enjoy every moment.”
The words of the Dean of Students, Prof. Ayelet Fishman, opened with the statement “How exciting it is to see so many students here at the Technion. We missed you.”
Following Prof. Fishman’s speech, Dr. Ran Gozli, Senior Vice President at ‘Raphael’ and Head of the Land and Sea Division, took the stage and gave an inspiring lecture – “On innovation, technology, people, leadership and everything in between”. We received a wealth of managerial perceptions, alongside personal insights, gathered on the basis of a long career at the forefront of Israeli and international technological endeavors.
How enlightening was it to discover that the Anières Program’s values are in such an overlap with those of one of the people leading Israel’s technological innovation.

After hearing concerns from the neighbourhood, Courtenay council voted to postpone third reading of a housing proposal until it further discusses details with the developer.
OrrMoniz Projects Corp. of Vancouver has applied to construct 151 modular rental units on three lots that cover a 5.8-acre site at 2700 Mission Rd. near the hospital, college and Queneesh Elementary. The units are proposed to be affordable family housing rentals. The project requires rezoning from light industrial and single family residential to multi-residential use.
While he applauds the element of transitional housing, Coun. Manno Theos sympathizes with concerns about form and character that could change the complexion of the neighbourhood. He feels the project is not up to the standard seen in Courtenay in recent years.
“This project, from my first glance, looks like army barracks,” Theos said at the Feb. 16 meeting. “I’m really disappointed with this proposal.”
Although density can be beneficial, Theos worries that slums can result from poorly planned projects. He suggests patio homes would be more attractive.
Coun. David Frisch has no problem with the look of one big building, and is not concerned about the site becoming a slum. He noted that many seniors cannot afford patio homes. One aspect that bothers Frisch is the lack of green space.
“More communal green space would be nice,” said Coun. Melanie McCollum, who feels a large structure is not esthetically pleasing to an area with family housing.
Coun. Wendy Morin said it’s important to not lose sight that the developer has brought forth the idea of second stage housing, which is needed in the community.
“I think we can find a common ground here,” Morin said.
Coun. Doug Hillian, who motioned for the postponement, said some residents are overwhelmed with the pace of change in the neighbourhood. He also noted concerns about traffic, and about impacts to the school community.
Matt Fitzgerald, manager of development planning, said Queneesh is under capacity and should be able to accommodate more students. Theos doubted the accuracy of this statement, considering other developments in the area, most notably the two apartment buildings under construction at 2600 Mission Rd.

35: The Demons of Punjab 10/10
A story that grew on me. I was a bit disappointed at first but the scene where Prem dies moved me which shows that a historical can make me care with good characters but now I love it more cause I know understand Yaz never messes with time which is reverse syndrome of the Fires of Pompeii which I think is a good move.
34: Rose 10/10
Rose is probably one of my favourites of S1. Rose is introduced well and her story is done well and she saves her new friend using one of her skills. I am reading the novel and it’s just as good as the episode.
33: Twice Upon A Time 10/10
The best of Peter Capaldi’s last 3 episodes. My only critique is the First Doctor;s behaviour towards woman which i find frustrating and did cause a incident on twitter which I regret and now disagree with the line. The last 10 minutes are magical and is handled better than The End Of Time. Jodie Whittaker makes her debut was a great scene.
32: Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos 10/10
I love this episode when loads don’t. Graham story in this episod sees him struggle to choose betwee getting revenge and being sent home by the Doctor or be a better man and Ryan fully accepts Graham as his Grandad and helps him defeat Tzim Sha. Yaz’s loyalty to the Doctor has me hooked. More please?
31: Planet of the Ood 10/10
I love learning about the Ood’s home world. Catherine Tate is amazing. The beginning of the DoctorDonna and Every Song Must End and Ood Sigmas’s warning.
30: Time of the Doctor 10/10
Matt Smith ends on a high after a struggle through S7. His regeneration story can be seen as boring but it isn’t as it has a tale. Its a better written story than how Amy and Rory went in The Angels Take Manhattan. Clara shows perseverance by returning to the Doctor’s side twice after being dropped home as the Doctor is not being a team player but Clara is which is the opposite of Doomsday.
29: The Long Game 10/10
Set on my favourites space station in the Whoniverse. I love how Adam’s story concluded and what happens if you do something wrong when you travel in the TARDIS.
28: The Doctor’s Wife 10/10
Suranne Jones playing a human version of the TARDIS and Michael Sheen as a entry that feeds of Time Lords TARDISES. I love how we learn about the TARDIS.
27: Time Heist 10/10
Team Not Dead robbing a bank. Not much to say but this is a great episode.
26: Smile 10/10
Underrated episode. Love the use of emojis and robots kill on unhappiness. I love a two hander with the Doctor and Bill Potts.
25: Turn Left 10/10
Russell T Davies’s best story in my option. Catherine Tate is amazing. Billie Piper puts a better performance than she did in S2.
24: Kerblam 10/10
A mystery story with a twist written by Doctor Who fan Pete Mc Tighe. Tosin Cole is definitely at his best here thanks to his characters background. The fez.
23: Deep Breath 10/10
I like the premise of what the story was about. There are a few questionable bits like the conclusion but the last two scenes are so magical as Clara accepts the new Doctor and we meet Missy.
22: The Girl Who Waited 10/10
Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill are amazing in this episode and it really helps their relationship. Karen plays a dual role and does it well. Tom McRae improves from his Cybermen story in Series 2. The ending is heartbreaking as Rory has to choose one Amy and he chooses the right one as the Doctor says “You got YOUR Amy back!”
21: Last Christmas 10/10
My favourite Christmas special and the ending is amazing when they reunite. Nick Frost is funny as Santa Claus and his two elf’s. Faye Marsay’s character was robbed of being a companion.

If you receive a high electric bill in the winter and if you heat your Indianapolis area home with an electric heat pump and if you notice your heat pump runs 24/7, you might presume the heat pump is the problem. The trouble is, you normally have to call your heating contractor to see if the heat pump is working properly.

One way to combat the chill in the winter is to pile on layers. Whether it’s extra clothes or multiple blankets, all of these items are going to need to be washed at some point. This will result in having to do more laundry, and constantly running the dryer will also increase your energy or heating bill.

Paul Zeise: Pirates fans shouldn't be happy with the World Baseball Classic
March 16, 2017 12:34 PM

Starling Marte hitting for Dominican Republic.
By Paul Zeise / Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Starling Marte is expected to return to the Dominican Republic lineup Thursday after missing three of the first four games of the World Baseball Classic with an ankle injury.
But have no fear — Pirates trainer Todd Tomczyk told reporters Wednesday that everybody is banged up at this time of year and that Marte was “in a good enough place to compete.” And don’t worry — in Marte’s absence, Gregory Polanco has filled in admirably in center field. That’s the same Polanco who was moved from right field to left field by the Pirates this offseason.
To review: Marte, the Pirates’ best outfielder, is nursing an ankle injury, is admittedly less than 100 percent but is still going to play a meaningless game. Polanco, one of the Pirates’ most important players, is learning a new position but has spent the bulk of the past few weeks playing a different position.
I’m sorry, but that is beyond ridiculous.
This is the fourth World Baseball Classic. Let’s also hope it’s the last one, or at least the last one taking place during spring training.
This is Major League baseball’s baby and is supposed to help grow interest for the game of baseball on a global stage. So far, the tournament has provided exciting games, and many major league stars have played a large role in that. That’s wonderful, but I’m thinking Pirates season ticket holders want to see the team’s best players healthy and ready to go on opening day.
Marte has been a little bit fragile in his career, playing more than 135 games only one time in four years. If he is nursing a bad ankle and is not 100 percent, why is he still playing in this meaningless event? If he is going to play at less than 100 percent, why isn’t he doing it in a Pirates uniform? Given Marte’s history of injuries, it’s fair to ask whether if this will be a lingering injury into the season.
If you think I’m being overly dramatic, ask Dodgers fans if they appreciated the World Baseball Classic in 2013, when they started the season with Hanley Ramirez on the DL. Ramirez needed thumb surgery as a result of jamming his thumb fielding a ball in the WBC title game that year. The Yankees also were without Mark Teixeira early in that season due to a wrist injury he aggravated in the WBC. David Wright had strained muscles in his ribs that year yet played through it. He admitted, however, he would have been held out of Grapefruit League games with that injury. But hey, Major League Baseball’s brand grew, so that makes it all worth it.
I’m of the belief that none of these players should be missing spring training to play in the World Baseball Classic. That’s especially true when it comes to any player that is injured, is coming off an injury or is learning a new position. It’s not the Olympics and it’s not really meaningful in any way. I don’t want to hear about how these guys are playing for national pride and representing their countries. This event’s “tradition” dates all the way back to 2006. It’s a meaningless exhibition, 100 percent driven by marketing, and nothing more.
Beyond Marte’s injury, opening day is less than three weeks away, and the Pirates’ outfield has yet to play together for any meaningful time. Polanco is going to have to move to the other side of the outfield and learn it all again. If ever there was a player who needed maximum reps and time in a new position, it’s Polanco. Instead, he has spent the last two weeks playing center field.
MLB should at least have the sense to move this event to late November and stop having it during spring training, when players are supposed to be getting ready for the season. Of course, the players’ association might object because it would mean players who play in it would have a shorter offseason by a month. As it is now, players can play in the WBC and not have to take time out of their schedules to do it. It would be interesting to see how excited these players would be to represent their countries if they had to do it on their own time.
Marte and Polanco — and Josh Harrison and Andrew McCutchen — should be with the Pirates getting ready for the season. The fact that they aren’t is a mistake on the part of MLB and a mistake Pirates fans should not be happy about.

Does Your Business Rely on Migrant Workers? Watch Out!
Many businesses depend on migrant workers from outside the European Union but the rules on employing them have become increasingly tough. In one case, a nursing home faced insolvency after being caught out in a Home Office investigation.
The home had its licence to sponsor entry into the UK by non-EU workers revoked following allegations that three of its employees, who had been registered as skilled public relations officers, were in fact working as care assistants.
In challenging the decision at the High Court, the nursing home insisted that the three had worked in accordance with their job descriptions. It was also submitted that the withdrawal of the licence would put the home out of business, resulting in the loss of more than 100 jobs and uncertainty for many vulnerable residents.
In refusing to overturn the decision, however, the High Court found that the home had seriously defaulted on its obligations under the licensing scheme and breached the trust placed in it by the Home Office. The Court noted that it remained open to the home to recruit staff from Britain or other EU member states.

I purchased it to cut fallen tree limbs that block the road leading into the woods and to saw lumber on rough building projects where there's no electricity.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Joe89 from Awesome little chainsaw I received this chainsaw as a Christmas present and finally used it this past weekend. I cut down 4 small trees in no time. At no time did I feel overwhelmed by the power of the chainsaw while making my cuts. Please read the owner’s manual for instructions to remain safe. Great chainsaw for small diameter cuts.

Rated 5 out of 5 by woodworking Hobbiest from Wonderful light weight but powerful chainsaw. I bought this saw a few days ago. It came completely assembled. I put chain oil in and grabbed a 18V 4 ah battery. I cut off branches for the next 3 hours. The battery was still going strong. It has a very aggressive cut. It works well for thick limbs but not great for small branches. After about 3 hours of use I would say that I had about 1/2 a charge on the battery.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Ginjen007 from Easy to assemble and use I have some small trees growing next to a privacy fence I needed to remove, plus a lot of branches I needed to cut down to the size my waste management would accept. I would not need a huge saw to do these task and with my current property I would never need a huge saws. So for my purposes, this saw was perfect. Easy to adjust the chain tension and add chain oil. Also easy to clean up and store.I’m a big Ryobi fan and this is another 18v tool I just love and will use often.

Hey, urban hens, you’re officially in the clear.
City council quietly voted in animal control bylaw amendments Tuesday that permit back yard chickens. Adoption of Bylaw 34-48 allows residents on lots as small as 370 square metres to keep up to five hens.
The new rules weren’t greeted with unanimous support when council voted last week to proceed with the amendments. Coun. Pat Wallace, one of the holdouts, couldn’t resist commenting Tuesday.
Like the City’s ban on smoking in parks, the hens will be back to nip at council, she warned. The no-smoking rule has been relaxed for the purpose of hosting the Rotary Ribfest in Riverside Park in August.
“This will be back to bite us in a way that we’ll be sorry,” Wallace said.
While not opposed to hens in general — Wallace used to live on a farm — she still feels the lot size permitted is too small and will give rise to neighbourhood complaints.

SCARBOROUGH — After months on hold, dredging of the Scarborough River will resume in November under a $2.3 million contract.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has chosen a new contractor for the project, which was originally supposed to start last October. The job will now be completed by Southwind Construction Corp., of Evansville, Indiana, under the contract awarded Sept. 23.
“We’re pleased because they actually chose the same contractor who did the dredging in 2004,” Town Manager Tom Hall said, referring to when the river was last dredged.
“We were pleased last time and I’m sure we’ll be pleased again.”
The project is scheduled to begin Nov. 3 and expected to take three months, although Hall said it might be completed sooner. About 100,000 cubic yards of sand will be dug up to create an 8-foot deep entrance and a 6-foot deep channel and anchorage. The dredged material will be deposited on Western Beach as “beneficial use material.”
The project was delayed last year by an appeal from a competing bidder and concerns that the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Services might object to placing the dredged material on the beach.
North American Landscaping, Construction and Dredge Co., of Ellicott City, Maryland, was chosen in December for the project, and the dredging was set to begin Jan. 6.
The project was due to be finished by March 31, the deadline required by environmental regulations. But the start date was pushed back to February because of incomplete paperwork. A week before the deadline, the contractor had only dredged 20,000 cubic yards of material.
In March, Mike Walsh, project manager for the U.S. Army Corps, said the project should have been completed on time, but acknowledged the failure was due to harsh weather and contract complications.
Hall then said a new contractor would probably be chosen.
Under the new contract, Southwind is expected to finish the project by early 2015.
“It certainly would have been nice to have had it done last season, but I’m just glad it’s getting done at all,” Hall said.

|Released||November 14, 1995|
|Genre||Rock and roll, indie rock, lo-fi|
|Guided by Voices EP chronology|
Tigerbomb is an EP by the indie rock band Guided by Voices. It was released in 1995 on Matador Records.
The first two tracks are professionally recorded versions of songs from the Alien Lanes LP (the original LP versions were recorded on four-track cassette). The music video for the track "My Valuable Hunting Knife" used the version from this EP. The band's "best of" compilation, Human Amusements at Hourly Rates , uses the original Alien Lanes version of "My Valuable Hunting Knife" but the re-recorded version of "Game of Pricks".
The entire EP can be found in the Hardcore UFOs box set (disc 2, tracks 3-8).
All songs written by Robert Pollard except where noted.
An extended play, often referred to as an EP, or mini-album is a musical recording that contains more tracks than a single but is usually unqualified as an album or LP. Contemporary EPs generally contain a minimum of three tracks and maximum of six tracks, and are considered "less expensive and time-consuming" for an artist to produce than an album. An EP originally referred to specific types of vinyl records other than 78 rpm standard play (SP) and LP, but it is now applied to mid-length CDs and downloads as well.
Guided by Voices (GBV) is an American indie rock band formed in 1983 in Dayton, Ohio. It has made frequent personnel changes but always maintained the presence of principal songwriter Robert Pollard. The most well-known lineup of the band consisted of Pollard, his brother Jim, Mitch Mitchell, Tobin Sprout, Kevin Fennell (drums), and bassist Greg Demos. Noted at first for their lo-fi aesthetic and typically Portastudio four-tracks-to-cassette production methods, Guided by Voices' music was influenced by early post–British Invasion garage rock, psychedelic rock, progressive rock, punk rock and post-punk. Due to their prolific output, releasing 30 full-length albums along with many other releases, they have garnered a dedicated cult following with songs that are in the two-minute range, with many which are even shorter. Their songs are also known for ending abruptly or intertwining with odd and homemade sound effects.
Robert Ellsworth Pollard Jr. is an American musician and singer-songwriter who is the leader and creative force behind indie rock group Guided by Voices. In addition to his work with Guided by Voices, he continues to have a prolific solo career with 22 solo albums released so far.
Tobin Sprout is an American artist and musician. He is best known as being the secondary major writer and member of indie rock group Guided by Voices.
The Guided by Voices discography includes dozens of releases, both official and unofficial. Robert Pollard, the main creative force behind the band, is an extremely prolific songwriter, having written or co-written more than 1,600 songs, with over 500 of them released under the Guided by Voices moniker.
Bee Thousand is the seventh album by American indie rock band Guided by Voices, released on June 21, 1994, on Scat Records. After its release the band became one of the more prominent groups associated with the "lo-fi" genre, a movement defined by the relatively low fidelity of audio releases. Musically, the album draws inspiration from British Invasion-era rock music and punk rock. Following the release of Bee Thousand, the band began to attract interest from other record labels, eventually signing with Matador for their next album.
Alien Lanes is the eighth full-length album by American lo-fi band Guided by Voices, released on April 4, 1995.
Is This Real? is the debut studio album by the Portland, Oregon-based punk rock band Wipers, originally released on vinyl in January 1980 by Park Avenue Records.
"Killed by Death" is a song by the English heavy metal band Motörhead. Released in 1984, in 7" and 12" vinyl pressings. It peaked at number 51 in the UK Singles Chart.
Mag Earwhig! is a 1997 album release by indie rock band Guided by Voices. Following the dissolution of the group's "classic" lineup, band-leader Robert Pollard recruited Cleveland group Cobra Verde as his backing band, while retaining the Guided by Voices name. It was the second release to feature future long-term collaborator Doug Gillard. Gillard had previously played on and co-wrote the song “Mice Feel Nice ” on the “Tigerbomb” EP. Most of Mag Earwhig! was recorded in a professional studio in Cleveland by the new lineup and marked a departure from band's trademark lo-fi sound, additional songs were also recorded in Dayton.
Isolation Drills is the twelfth album by Dayton, Ohio indie rock group Guided by Voices. It was their second and final LP released under TVT Records and their second to feature a major rock producer in Rob Schnapf. The album was also their first to chart on the Billboard 200, peaking at number 168. The album notably features instrumental contributions from Elliott Smith and David Sulzer. Previous longtime band member Tobin Sprout also returned as a guest and contributed with playing piano. While Jim MacPherson plays drums on the album, his replacement Jon McCann is featured in the cover photos, as MacPherson had left the band immediately after the recording to focus on his home life.
Propeller is the fifth album by Dayton, Ohio indie rock group Guided by Voices.
Doug Gillard is an American guitarist and songwriter. He has been a member of major indie pop and punk bands, most notably Guided by Voices, Nada Surf, Bambi Kino, Death of Samantha, and Cobra Verde.
Tonics and Twisted Chasers is a Guided by Voices album, initially released as a 19-track limited-edition fanclub-only vinyl LP in 1996. The following year, it was released in a limited CD edition, with five additional tracks. The album was primarily recorded by principal songwriters Robert Pollard and Tobin Sprout.
The Grand Hour is a 1993 EP by Guided by Voices. "Shocker in Gloomtown" has remained in GbV concert setlists, and was in 1994 covered by the Breeders.
Hardcore UFOs: Revelations, Epiphanies and Fast Food in the Western Hemisphere is an anthology box set released by Guided by Voices in 2003.
I Am a Scientist is a 1994 EP released by Guided by Voices. The title track originally appeared in a stripped down, four track version on the band's celebrated 1994 LP Bee Thousand; a music video was also made. The song appears here in a live-in-studio full-band arrangement recorded by Andy Shernoff, along with three other songs.
"Alien Boy" is the seventh song on the first Wipers album, Is This Real?, released in 1980.
"Will the Circle Be Unbroken?" is a popular Christian hymn written in 1907 by Ada R. Habershon with music by Charles H. Gabriel. The song is often recorded unattributed and, because of its age, has lapsed into the public domain. Most of the chorus appears in the later songs "Can the Circle Be Unbroken" and "Daddy Sang Bass".
Boston Spaceships was a rock band featuring Robert Pollard and Chris Slusarenko of Guided By Voices, and John Moen of The Decemberists and Perhapst. The name of the band came from a nickname Pollard gave to the Boston cream donut from Krispy Kreme, which is Pollard's favorite donut. The band released several albums before disbanding in 2011 with their final album Let it Beard.

Kuala Lumpur — Former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad has been in a stable condition after being treated at the National Heart Institute, his daughter said in a statement on Saturday.
Marina Mahathir said her 96-year-old father was readmitted to the hospital and received selective medical treatment in early January for two days.
“Siti Hasmah Mohd Ali (his wife) and his family are asking people to pray for his quick and complete recovery,” Marina said.
A Mahathir spokesman previously stated that he was admitted to the hospital’s cardiac treatment room, but did not provide details.
Mahathir, who is still an active member of the Diet, was discharged on January 8 after being described as having a successful selective medical procedure.
The National Heart Institute did not state at the time what treatment Mahathir had with a history of heart disease.
In December, he was hospitalized and discharged after the doctor stated he was happy with the results of the required investigation.

Learn to enjoy but also protect.
In addition to canoeing, it is also necessary to move over land occasionally. For this you get a canoe trolley as standard equipment. The number of land movements and the nature of the displacement makes the difficulty. Canoeing is an activity where an average physical effort is made. An average condition and good health is needed to fully enjoy the trip. Of course, the participants must be able to swim!
The Right of Public Acces
Sweden has a very special right, namely the right to recreate anywhere you want. That right is called The Right of Public Acces, or Allemansrätten. And every tourist benefits optimally from that!
Allemänsrätten is unique and is an important part of the Swedish attitude to life: everyone has the right to enjoy the beautiful country. And that means you are free to set up your tent wherever you want, take a dip in any kind of lake, go hiking, horseback riding or boating where it looks good or pick flowers, berries or mushrooms from nature.
Of course there are a few conditions for the Allemänsrätten to run smoothly.
The most important thing: respect for nature. And that means that it is forbidden to damage, damage or disrupt the flora or fauna. Leave the place where you recreate exactly as you found it: so take everything with you. Especially waste of course.

Equipment and food
The trip is accompanied by one of our instructors but also including equipment and food. Materials include the canoe, life vest, paddle, watertight ton, canoe trolley, folding spade, garbage bag, tent, sleeping pad.
Regarding food, you can choose between a standard package and the vegetarian package. The packages are subject to the offer and our stock. Furthermore, we want to offer as many local products as possible in our packages. This allows the composition of a package to change.

Clothing is also important, but do not overdo it !! Do not take more than you can carry yourself. During the trip over land, it is not possible to leave everything in the canoe. Take a good quality backpack or waterproof bag and arrange everything as much as possible in smaller waterproof bags. This also increases the buoyancy of the whole!!

Palit Revolution 700 Deluxe Review
In stock form ATI's Radeon 4870 X2 is a potent 3D performer capable of driving today's latest games at blistering frame rates thanks to its dual RV770 GPUs clocked at 750MHz and 2GB of 3.6GHz effective GDDR5 memory. But as impressive as the card is it does have its drawbacks.
As you can imagine, keeping two RV770 GPUs cool is a pretty daunting task, particularly under an extended 3D load. While the stock ATI cooler does its best to keep heat at bay, like the cooler ATI used on the Radeon 4870 reference design, the 4870 X2's stock cooler sacrifices a little bit of extra heat in order for the card to run as quietly as possible. As a result, the stock cooling found on ATI's 4870 X2 reference design can have a hard time dealing with heat, resulting in load temps of nearly 90 degrees Celsius. To add insult to injury, the stock 4870 X2 idles in the 60 degree Celsius range – that's as high as some GPUs get at load!
Now so far we haven't run into any stability issues as a result of this, nor have we seen artifacts or other visual anomalies over the course of our testing since the 4870
X2's arrival last August, but these kind of temps can be unsettling to some users who are used to less exotic cards that don't hit these high temps. Others may simply be uncomfortable running such a hot device inside their PC for an extended period of time (say the next 3 or 4 years). Next to dust, heat is after all a leading source of many component failures.
But what if one of ATI's board partners were to come up with a Radeon 4870 X2 card with enhanced cooling? For most of 2008 ATI had the 4870 X2 on lockdown, forcing all board partners to use the ATI reference design and cooling, but finally ATI has relented, with the first 4870 X2 cards to utilize a non-reference cooler shipping in mid-November.
With their Gainward Golden Sample roots, the engineers at Gainward/Palit were determined to concoct something special, and with the Revolution 700 Deluxe, that's exactly what they've done. The card is the world's first to utilize a three-slot cooling unit. Yes, you read that right, the Palit Revolution 700 Deluxe features a 3-slot cooler.
Why 3-slots? Palit says they needed a 3-slot solution in order to properly cool both RV770 chips without having to rely on a noisy cooler. While Palit's cooler does have dual fans, they run at very low RPMs -- usually less than 3000 RPMs at load -- thus they don't generate a lot of noise when pressed, even during extensive 3D gaming sessions.
Let's take a look closer look at Palit's Revolution 700 Deluxe.

The drought, which extends to South Africa, the continent’s biggest corn producer, has been exacerbated by an El Nino and follows dry spells last year that affected countries from Zimbabwe to Malawi. Oxfam has said 10 million people, mostly in Africa, face hunger because of droughts and poor rain.
That has brought GM crops to the fore, especially corn, which is a staple crop grown and consumed in most sub-Saharan countries. Many African countries have banned GM crops, arguing that they will cross-contaminate other plants, pollute the environment and have long-term health effects for humans.
The African drought’s impact is particularly serious for Zimbabwe, where the economy has struggled for five years to recover from a catastrophic recession marked by one billion percent hyperinflation and widespread food shortages. The country does not accept GM corn imports, and when it has accepted emergency GM corn aid, it has been milled under security watch.
South Africa is the only African country producing GM corn on a commercial scale. Sixteen percent of Zimbabwe’s population requires food aid this year. The government plans to import up to 700,000 tonnes of corn, but its usual sources of corn, such as Zambia and Tanzania, are facing lower harvests this year. As a result, it could end up receiving GM corn after all. This year, South Africa, which produces more than 40 percent of southern African corn, may need to import up to five million tons of corn because of drought, said Grain SA, the country’s largest producer group.
Perceptions are shifting. For example, Getachew Belay, an African expert on GM crops, said Burkina Faso Sudan have recently started growing GM cotton commercially.
Zambia experienced a severe drought in 2002 that left millions in need of food aid, but it rejected GM corn offered by donors, citing inadequate scientific information. However, higher education minister Michael Kaingu told parliament last month his country now embraces GM crops. It is a growing trend on the continent, and Belay said Ethiopia had amended its biosafety laws to allow tests on GM cotton, thanks to pressure from the textile industry, which is advocating for the production of cheaper cotton in that country. Kenya, Uganda, Malawi, Swaziland, Nigeria and Ghana have all been conducting trials on GM crops, he said.
Seed companies are well placed to benefit from increased use of GMOs in Africa. Monsanto conducted trials of GM corn and cotton in some African countries, including Zimbabwe, from 2001-05.
However, the transition from tests to commercial growing has been slow, a reminder of the die-hard attitudes toward GM crops. Belay said a major factor that could influence Africa to start growing GM corn was whether China would grow GM rice, which it has developed but not released for production.

Tbilisi: Within the framework of the Enguri Hydrological Initiative project, a 3-day working meeting is organized by the Georgian Energy Development Fund. It was noted during the meeting that the project, that was started in 2021, will be finished in April 2023.
As the Director of the Foundation, Jaba Khmaladze noted: “After the implementation of the Enguri Hydrological Initiative project, the country will have an instrument that will allow us to collect and analyze the current and future water in the rivers of Enguri basin in automatic mode.
Further, Khmalazde added : “The program will consolidate this data in one space and create a necessary statistical database based on modern digital technologies.”
The project aims to create a platform for operators of hydropower plants in the Enguri River Basin and other stakeholders to strengthen cooperation between major Enguri River Basins organizations, as well as to implement best international practices on hydrological data through the exchange of information.
The hydrological model under the project will play a significant role for the overall security of the country’s energy system, as well as for planning development of hydro plants in the Engurri Basin, for forecasting generation for different periods of the year, for monitoring the availability of stocks in Engurhes and other project reservoirs in the Engurhesi River Basin in the future.
The project has been financially backed and supported by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD).
The Representatives of Georgian Ministry of State Electricity System, Economy and Sustainable Development, LLC “Engurhes”, Energy Exchange, National Commission for Energy and Water Supply of Georgia, Ministry of Environment and Agriculture, National Environmental Agency and hydroelectric power plants operating in the Enguri pool are attending the working meeting

NSW Police Force has played a pivotal safety role in the parade throughout the years but it’s our marching contingent that makes me most proud. Since 1996, NSW Police officers have added a splash of blue to demonstrate support and commitment to the lesbian, gay bisexual, trans* and intersex communities.
I am extremely proud the force recognises the importance of marching in the parade, signifying our strong support and solidarity with the LGBTI community. As an organisation, it provides us an opportunity to recognise and respect our own workforce diversity through acceptance of everyone’s unique attributes.
Our theme for the 2014 festival is ‘We are many shades of blue’, and more than 50 officers from across NSW, including the Police Band, will take their place in the parade. These officers are predominantly gay and lesbian liaison officers (GLLOs), who play a significant role in building our capacity to better respond to a range of issues affecting LGBTI communities.
GLLOs are especially committed to drawing mutual understanding both within and outside the NSW Police force and they are considered our experts on same-sex domestic violence issues, beats, bias crimes against LGBTI communities, transgender and intersex issues.
Policing the parade route and surrounding areas to ensure a safe event is our number one priority. We have been working closely with event organisers to make sure everyone can have a great night.
This year, NSW Police launched Operation Tacoma, a high-visibility policing strategy to provide environments in which the community can celebrate all 2014 Mardi Gras Festival events in safety.
We are working under the direction of Operation Commander, Assistant Commissioner Alan Clarke, who – as Commander of the Major Events and Incidents Group – brings a wealth of experience in policing the biggest events within this state and across Australia.
Operation Tacoma will focus on crowd safety, particularly as large crowds arrive and leave the area; providing the safest possible experience on public transport, traffic management and minimising the risk of alcohol-related crime and anti-social behaviour.
The number of police involved in the operation was determined in conjunction with the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras organisers pursuant to the recently-endorsed Memorandum of Understanding, which has been designed to ensure consultation and open communication for provision of safe and comfortable event environments.
You’ll see a variety of police officers out on Parade night, including representatives from local general duties and GLLOs, the mounted unit, dog unit, traffic and highway patrol, police transport command, public order and riot squad and operational support group.
All these officers will be briefed on expectations by senior police and are educated by Mardi Gras organisers on the history and cultural significance of the festival before deployments on the night.
As the Commander of Surry Hills Local Area Command, I will be working as the Forward Commander on the ground along the parade route utilising local police who are accustomed to the culture and uniqueness of LGBTI communities.
We know and understand the community, its culture and more importantly, the significance and symbolism of Mardi Gras. This strategy was developed at joint briefings with the Chief Executive Officer of Mardi Gras, Mr Michael Rolik, in an effort to minimise misunderstanding between police and community members.
These joint briefings have been invaluable in developing strategies to seamlessly incorporate policing and security operations into the event brief. The Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras Parade is one of the biggest events of its kind in the world – all eyes will be on Sydney – we want them to see the city at its best.
Once again, one of our officers will be part of the decency inspection team. We will work side-by-side with event organisers to check each float to make sure everything remains in the true spirit of the festival without being offensive.
We are often asked what’s okay and what’s not, which is sometimes difficult to describe – when you see something offensive, you just know. That said, full-frontal nudity is never okay on a public street, neither are hurtful or hate-filled banners.
Remember, there will be children watching along the parade route – this is their family too – so if you wouldn’t want your child to see it, re-think it.
The force has come a long way since the 2013 parade. Not only have we been working with event organisers, but we have been working with the LGBTI community, to help make this year’s parade the best yet.
Remember, the new liquor laws come into effect on Monday, which will impact bars and clubs on Oxford St, so if you’re not going to the after party, there’s a few things you’ll need to know.
A new CBD entertainment precinct has been established, stretching from Kings Cross to Cockle Bay, and The Rocks to Haymarket and parts of Surry Hills.
All licensed premises in this precinct will now have a 1.30am lockout, serve last drinks at 3am and troublemakers will face temporary banning orders. In addition, you won’t be able to buy take-away alcohol anywhere in NSW after 10pm.
All the details, including the precinct map, are available on the NSW Government website: http://www.nsw.gov.au.
Regardless of where you party-on after the parade, I urge everyone to look after themselves and their friends. By all means, have a great time and enjoy your night but don’t overdo it.
Looking forward to seeing everyone along the parade route – make sure you stop and say hello. Happy Mardi Gras 2014.

RE: Hood Pics / High Hood
"Tony, thanks for the pictures. They show the basic design very well. I do
have a question which is, could the distance between the top of the tank and
the lights be reduced ? The whole hood seems awfully tall. Is there a
specific reason ?"
Actually, the reason I went with 1x8 sides as opposed to 1x6 or smaller is
because I wanted to have some room between the light fixtures and the
surface of the water. The reason is for heat dissipation and to prevent
damage to the sockets from the humidity -- I do not have any cover glasses
under the hood as the pictures illustrate.
This design would probably have worked very well with 1x6 sides too, and had
plenty of room for the lights. And it'd be a lot lighter with the 1x6 --
mine is pretty darn heavy, though I can lift it by myself.
One thing I would advise anyone to do is to make sure their measurements are
PERFECT, and use a square throughout the construction to keep things lined
up. Also, I allowed for 1/4" of space around the edge -- eg my tank is
48.5" and I cut the wood to fit 50"... In retrospect I think 1/8" would be
plenty -- I have a bit too much space.
-Hope this helps,

Do you have any good recs for books on sex?
Oh, do I ever! It’s literally part of my job to read about sex. I’m also a huge romance novel fan, and have been since middle school when my best friend and I would huddle together at lunch to giggle about the latest sexy scene in whatever fantasy novel we were reading.
Reading about sex, either how to do it better or about other people getting it on, benefits your sex life in so many ways. It puts sex on your brain, inspires new ideas, and normalizes your experiences. Plus it can be hot AF.
Whether you want to learn more about sex or are just ready to get turned on, we’ve got you covered! Here are 11 sexy summer reads.
If you want to up your sexual prowess:
Solo Sex: A Workbook for Your Erotic Self by Afrosexology. This digital workbook from some of my favorite sex educators “contains 50+ pages of information, worksheets, and practices to allow you to explore, affirm, and deepen your connection to your erotic self, erotic voice, and erotic power.”
Girl Boner: The Good Girl’s Guide to Sexual Empowerment by August McLaughlin. August is a dear friend, sister in many things (eating disorder recovery, being #heelfree, and so much more) and I devoured her latest book, which shares the name of her equally amazing podcast. “An unfiltered blend of personal narrative and practical tips on relationships, solo play, journaling, gender issues, and more, Girl B*ner will “empower you to own your sexual self and enjoy … your whole life a great deal more.”
Come As You Are: The Surprising New Science that will Transform Your Sex Life by Emily Nagoski. If you could only buy one book about sex ever, this is the book I’d recommend. It transformed my approach to teaching about sex and has transformed my clients’ sex lives and relationships. Here’s the official description: “An essential exploration of why and how women’s sexuality works—based on groundbreaking research and brain science—that will radically transform your sex life into one filled with confidence and joy.”
(Book images via Simon & Schuster, Afrosexology, and Amazon)
Kinky Sex Tips for Curious Girls by Mona Darling. Remember the pre-internet era when we amused ourselves with activity books? Know how coloring is making a comeback in a big way? Ever thought about combining that with sex education? Mona did! “Kinky Sex Tips For Curious Girls provides a fun, shame-free introduction to kink and BDSM, modeled after the activity books you loved as a kid. It mixes solid advice about kink and BDSM with puzzles, games, and coloring pages.” It’s endlessly fun and I love Mona’s easygoing approach to kink, whether you’re looking to mix things up or want to go deep into the world of BDSM.
The Consent Guidebook by Erin Tillman, The Dating Advice Girl .Whether you’re single, dating, or in a LTR, this easy-to-follow illustrated guide offers “practical advice for establishing boundaries and respecting the boundaries of others.” It’ll help you step into your power in all areas of your life including sex and relationships, so you can be a more bad ass and sensitive person and partner.
(Book images via Amazon)
Books that will turn you on:
Above All by Rebecca Brooks. For a long time I proclaimed, “I don’t do modern romances.” Then I met Rebecca at an event where we talked about consent and how so many romance novels perpetuate harmful sex myths and I figured I’d give her books a read. Now…I have a rule where my vibrator must be within reach while reading because I’ve had too many slightly embarrassing moments in public! She writes about “outdoorsy guys with both muscle and heart and independent women ready to try something new.” This one features a chef. I guarantee her books will leave you with a case of wanderlust—and a raging (girl) boner. If nothing else, do yourself a favor and go check out the cover because *swoon* Can’t wait for the book? Read literally any of her other ones.
Take the Lead and Dance with Me by Alexis Daria. Hot sex, dancing, and some of the best female friendships I’ve ever seen written in romance. Need I say anything else? OK I will! Both heroines are strong AF, making their way in a world that keeps trying to knock them down. They have each other first and foremost, their friends, and then their love interests. It takes a village to make a relationship work, and these books poignantly highlight that. Oh, and did I mention the amazing sex scenes?
The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang. I haven’t read this one yet but it’s at the top of my TBR (that’s to-be-read) list given the number of people I trust who’ve recommended it and, well, everything about it. The plot is a reverse Pretty Woman and the protagonist, like the author, is on the autism spectrum. YES to more representation and happily-ever-afters for all.
(Images via Amazon and Goodreads)
Stripped by Zoey Castille. The first in a Magic Mike-inspired trilogy about the men of adult entertainment and the women who fall in love with them. Book one features, you guessed it, a male stripper and the school teacher who falls for him after their laundry gets swapped at the dry cleaners. The struggle is real. I love that the heroine is in the midst of a quarter life crisis—who hasn’t been there? I love that Zoey addresses concerns someone might have dating a male stripper, without shaming sex work and even highlighting its benefits. I love that they pull back in the middle of one of the early sex scenes because guess what? Men can help themselves! You have to wait til July for this one but do yourself a favor and pre-order it stat so it’ll be waiting for you. Just make sure to give yourself a day off to devour it.
Day of the Duchess by Sarah Maclean. Sarah famously rewrote this entire book from scratch after the 2016 election when she realized her original hero definitely would have voted for Trump. The result? An incredibly sexy and oh-so-cathartic love story that opens with a duchess storming parliament to demand a divorce. By the end of the book, you’ll have laughed, sobbed, screamed, and cheered, and be left feeling powerful and affirmed. Oh and, no, you don’t need to read books one and two to enjoy it. I’m making my way through Sarah’s entire backlist right now and I love how her heroines always save themselves (its’ very Ever After). She also has a new book coming out this summer that will undoubtedly be amazing.
The Wicked Quills of London series by Eva Leigh. I lost my mind reading these books (seriously—my Twitter feed was nothing but “Eva I love you!” for a week straight) in which each heroine is a writer of some sort, none of them are virgins, and they’re all in their 30s. I didn’t realize how much I longed to read books about women my age, where virginity wasn’t the crux of the conflict, where they worked for a living and refused to sacrifice their careers for love. These are heavy on the sex and the sass and so damn affirming.

Forum: Doering for Dunlap School Board
The Dunlap School Board race has some candidates pandering to its discordant stakeholders. “Stakeholders” is Dunlap School District’s politically correct term for folks interested in some portion of the district’s operations.
Listening to stakeholders is part of the job of a school board member, but board members do not work for stakeholders. The board works for the voters living in the district. Board members are the stewards of taxpayer-provided funds. They are evaluated by the voters on Election Day.
At a recent “meet the candidates night,” the candidates representing their bosses vs. those representing stakeholders started showing their true colors. I heard prepared answers to anticipated or planted questions to appease stakeholders, with few showing a grasp of the specifics of school finances. Only Amy Fairfield Doering demonstrated extensive knowledge of district programs, finances, ethics and legal issues.
Ms. Fairfield Doering is not a politician. Her board votes are based on facts, not emotions. She is one of only 59 living school board members in Illinois who have achieved Fellow Status by the Illinois Association of School Boards.
Amy Fairfield Doering is the voters’ best choice.
