Actress/screenwriter Lena Dunham has kicked off 2013 with a new pet - she's adopted a rescue dog.
The Girls star headed to the BARC Shelter in Brooklyn on Wednesday (09Jan13), the same day she debuted the second season of her sitcom at a New York premiere, and chose to take home little Lamby.
Dunham uploaded a photo of herself and the pooch to her Instagram page and told fans, "Because no day is stressful enough on its own, meet Lamby Dunham. (My mother) and I sprung him this afternoon."
Speaking to reportes at the Girls launch, Dunham adds, "He's just 12 pounds of bliss. I have a feeling we're going to have a great life together. Unless you find out I've killed him in a few weeks!"

Despite the passing of 200 years and the ravages of weather and war, the centre of Hoi An remains much the same as it was in its heyday. A walking tour is the best way to see the wooden-fronted houses that once belonged to the town’s prosperous merchants, the Japanese-covered Bridge and the wonderful market. Hoi An is one of the best places in Vietnam to shop for souvenirs at bargain prices including silk, handicrafts, antiques and paintings.
Five kilometers from the centre of town is Cua Dai Beach, popular with both locals and visitors alike, for its sandy beach, warm sea and seafood stalls. Hoi An is known throughout Vietnam for its excellent seafood and it also boasts its own unique dishes such as Cao Lau, a delicious combination of noodles, pork, bean sprouts, mint and croutons.
Inland and a half-day trip from Hoi An is My Son, where the capital of the once great Champa Kingdom stood. The Chams, Hindus originally from India, were the rulers of large areas of central Vietnam between the 2nd and 15th centuries. The Cham Museum, housed in a classical French colonial building in Danang, has the finest collection of Cham sculpture in the world, much of it originating from the My Son site.
Right on Danang’s doorstep is Non Nuoc Beach with its miles of golden sand beaches and home to a luxurious beach resort complex. Another popular site in the Danang area is the Marble Mountains, five sacred marble and limestone hills. Many shrines and temples have been constructed over the centuries both on the hillsides and in the spectacular natural caves concealed within the hills.
Some famous places for Sightseeing in Hoi An
Japanese Covered Bridge – Built in 1593 by the Japanese to link their quarter of town to the Chinese quarter. At one end of the structure are statues of two dogs and at the other, statues of two monkeys – perhaps indicating the years when the bridge’s construction was begun and completed. There is a small temple on the northern side of the bridge which is dedicated to Tran Vo Bac De – God controls wind and rain.
Chua Ong Pagoda – Founded in 1653 by the Chinese community, this temple is dedicated to Quan Cong, a revered general of the Chinese Han dynasty. Come here to contemplate life the bright-red interior of the temple or while watching the small of fish that happily dart around in the pond out front. The carp, symbolic of patience in Chinese mythology, is displayed throughout.
Tan Ky ancestral house – One of the oldest private houses in Hoi An, this structure has remained largely unchanged in the 200 years since it was built. Seven generations of the Tan Ky family have lived here. The house incorporates both Chinese and Japanese styles. Japanese elements include the crab shell-shaped ceiling supported by three beams in the living room. Chinese poems written in mother-of-pearl are hanging from a number of the columns that hold up the roof.
Chinese Assembly Hall – Built as a meeting place for Chinese residents of Hoi An, this hall later became a temple dedicated to the Fujian goddess of the sea and protector of fishermen, Thien Hau. It’s a reminder of how important fishing and trading were to the Chinese community in Hoi An. This temple is architecturally unique with its artistic ornaments and beautiful statues. The Chinese architectural style combined with Vietnamese workmanship has enriched it with Hoi An's cultural character.
My Son Sanctuary – Former temples and towers dedicated to kings and divinities, particularly Shiva, who was considered the founder of the Kingdom of Champa. Construction first began in the 4th century under the order of the Cham king Bhadresvara and continued until the 13th century. Though less imposing than the Angkor in Cambodia and less diversified than the Pagan site in Myanmar, My Son is unique of its kind in Southeast Asia. With its great value, in December 1999, the My Son Sanctuary has been recognized as a World Cultural Heritage Site by UNESCO.


National Institute for Research and Development in Informatics – ICI Bucharest
Abstract: In recent years, the open science and, specifically, the open access to scientific publications and research data have been topics of interest for the international scientific community, including the European Union and its member states. Recently, this interest has been amplified by the development and launch of the Horizon Europe framework program and national research and innovation programs. For our country, the National Strategy for Research, Innovation and Intelligent Specialization 2022-2027, recently adopted, includes the two topics among its specific objectives. In this context, the paper analyzes the results obtained by the Horizon 2020 program in the implementation of the open access policy for publications and research data generated by its own projects, as highlighted in the final program monitoring report. The provisions of the model grant agreement regarding open access and the pilot dedicated to open research data are presented. The typology of monitoring indicators is detailed and the main indicators and their values are listed. Some conclusions drawn from the accumulated experience, with the aim of improving this activity in Horizon Europe, are reviewed. For this program, the focus on impact-based evaluation of its results is also highlighted. This approach is illustrated by short-, medium- and long-term impact monitoring indicators specific to open science.
Keywords: Open Science, Open Access, Horizon 2020 Programme, Open Access policy, monitoring indicators, Horizon Europe Programm, impact-based evaluation.

Professional artists and photographers annoyed at generative AI firms using their work to train their technology may soon have an effective way to respond that doesn’t involve going to the courts.
Generative AI burst onto the scene with the launch of OpenAI’s ChatGPT chatbot almost a year ago. The tool is extremely adept at conversing in a very natural, human-like way, but to gain that ability it had to be trained on masses of data scraped from the web.
Similar generative AI tools are also capable of producing images from text prompts, but like ChatGPT, they’re trained by scraping images published on the web.
It means artists and photographers are having their work used — without consent or compensation — by tech firms to build out their generative AI tools.
To fight this, a team of researchers has developed a tool called Nightshade that’s capable of confusing the training model, causing it to spit out erroneous images in response to prompts.
Outlined recently in an article by MIT Technology Review, Nightshade “poisons” the training data by adding invisible pixels to a piece of art before it’s uploaded to the web.
“Using it to ‘poison’ this training data could damage future iterations of image-generating AI models, such as DALL-E, Midjourney, and Stable Diffusion, by rendering some of their outputs useless — dogs become cats, cars become cows, and so forth,” MIT’s report said, adding that the research behind Nightshade has been submitted for peer review.
While the image-generating tools are already impressive and are continuing to improve, the way they’re trained has proved controversial, with many of the tools’ creators currently facing lawsuits from artists claiming that their work has been used without permission or payment.
University of Chicago professor Ben Zhao, who led the research team behind Nightshade, said that such a tool could help shift the balance of power back to artists, firing a warning shot at tech firms that ignore copyright and intellectual property.
“The data sets for large AI models can consist of billions of images, so the more poisoned images can be scraped into the model, the more damage the technique will cause,” MIT Technology Review said in its report.
When it releases Nightshade, the team is planning to make it open source so that others can refine it and make it more effective.
Aware of its potential to disrupt, the team behind Nightshade said it should be used as “a last defense for content creators against web scrapers” that disrespect their rights.
In a bid to deal with the issue, DALL-E creator OpenAI recently began allowing artists to remove their work from its training data, but the process has been described as extremely onerous as it requires the artist to send a copy of every single image they want removed, together with a description of that image, with each request requiring its own application.
Making the removal process considerably easier might go some way to discouraging artists from opting to use a tool like Nightshade, which could cause many more issues for OpenAI and others in the long run.
- OpenAI’s new tool can spot fake AI images, but there’s a catch
- Meta just created a Snoop Dogg AI for your text RPGs
- Most people distrust AI and want regulation, says new survey
- Zoom adds ChatGPT to help you catch up on missed calls
- Google Bard could soon become your new AI life coach

Walking and fuelling for long walks
Along with water and oxygen, your body's most constant and basic requirement is energy. That energy is measured in kilocalories (often referred to as just calories, but look out for the metric equivalent, which is kilojoules). The more energetic you are, the more calories you burn. However, eating for long-term energy is not as simple as just replacing calories. Your body can burn both carbohydrate and fat to provide calories, but the energy released from these fuels is very different.
Think of carbohydrate as jet fuel - which is quick to burn and provides instant energy. So your body uses mainly carbohydrate to fuel strenuous activities such as climbing, walking uphill or scrambling. Unfortunately, you only have a small reserve of carbohydrate (stored as glycogen in your liver and muscles), enough to fuel about 2 hours of hard exercise. Once your glycogen stores are depleted, fatigue sets in. Eating for long-term energy means topping up your carbohydrate fuel and the only way to do this is to eat carbohydrate foods.
Eating plan for long term energy
Before you set off, make sure your carbohydrate (jet fuel tank) stores are full. Eat large portions of pasta or rice with tomato or vegetable sauce (rather than meat or cheese based sauces) the night before. Top up with more carbohydrate the next morning. There are plenty of high carbohydrate breakfast foods ...
- Wholemeal toast with honey, jam or marmalade
- Porridge cooked with raisins and banana to sweeten
- No-added sugar muesli (choose the varieties with dates, dried apricots for sweetness or add honey to sweeten, if you must)
- Stewed apples and prunes with natural yoghurt
Take some high carbohydrate foods to eat during the day. For example, banana and honey sandwiches, pasta or homemade potato salad provide a mixture of fast and slow release carbohydrates. It may not always be possible to stop to eat, so foods such as fruitcake, malt loaf, dried apricots, figs and dates are easy to eat on the move.
Running out of fluid is as likely as running out of carbohydrate fuel on a long challenge. Take hot fruit based drinks in a flask during the winter. These will help to maintain your core body temperature, provide fluid and sugars for energy. Try organic ginger cordial or concentrated apple juice (with added fresh root ginger) diluted with hot water. If you suffer from poor circulation, ginger helps get blood to your fingers and toes - very useful on those long winter walks.

- Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Loved how comfy the beds are and how the rooms are set up. Disliked the pool area, way to much chlorine, hurts your eyes so we avoided going in there. Breakfast was good lots of variety to pick from and the seating area was big so a lot could enjoy their food together. Only had one bad experience that the bathroom wasn’t clean, body hair was left in the tub. We did switch rooms to have the same thing happen again we opted to stay in the second room and notified staff, the manager were very prompt and very very helpful they cleaned the second room while we were out for supper. I will definitely stay here again. Thank you for a well rested visit.

What’s Uric Acid And How To Lower Your Uric Acid Naturally
What is Uric Acid?
Uric acid is produced when the body breaks down purines. Purines are chemicals that form when some foods or drinks are consumed. Some of the foods that will raise your uric acid levels are liver, anchovies, mackerel, beans, peas and beer. In most cases, uric acid is removed from the kidneys via urine. But if uric acid levels are high, the kidneys will be unable to filter enough uric acid from urine to keep normal uric acid levels.
Uric acid levels are measured by collecting a sample over a 24 hour period. If too much uric acid is being produced the measurable uric acid level will increase. On the other hand, if the kidneys are unable to adequately remove uric acid from the body, the amount of that acid will decrease in the test samples.
Excess uric acid can turn into crystals in a person’s joints. These crystals make the joints swell and become very painful. This condition of high uric acid and painful joints is called “gout”. It is possible to have high uric acid levels without having gout, however. High uric acid levels can also cause kidney stones, which are extremely painful for a person to pass.
Who is Likely to Have High Uric Acid?
Both men and women can get gout, though men seem to be more likely to have it. People who take certain medications seem to get gout more often than the regular population. Drinking alcohol seems to aggravate this condition. Obese people more often have gout. Certain cancers and certain chemotherapy can cause high uric acid levels. Also, people with kidney problems have uric acid problems because their kidneys can’t filter the uric acid out of their systems. Hypothyroidism can also cause an increase in uric acid, along with other medical conditions. Working with a physician will ensure that you find out why your levels are high, and start you on a plan to reduce your uric acid levels.
How to Decrease Uric Acid Levels
To reduce uric acid levels, avoid eating the foods that raise uric acid levels. Also avoid alcoholic drinks like beer that contain purines that raise the uric acid levels. Once your doctor has determined the cause of your high uric acid problem, he or she will be able to help you find the best way to reduce that level. Medications can raise your uric levels, but medications can reduce your uric acid levels as well. Losing weight and drinking plenty of water can also help you lower your uric acid levels and protect your kidneys from damage.

As the university moves forward with a feasibility study to find the best location for the new student union, the community considers moving west — specifically, to the Carolina Coliseum.
“Where we’re looking now is by the end of summer to have a vision of where and what the new student union could look like,” said Student Body President Taylor Wright.
University architect Derek Gruner said the Carolina Coliseum is still being considered for the new student union despite the mathematics department and office of disabilities being moved to the Coliseum while LeConte College undergoes renovations. The university has plans to expand westward towards YOUnion and 650 Lincoln apartment complexes, which would make the Coliseum the new center of campus.
The new student union may become a combination of two buildings that are geared toward two different groups of students. Russell House is at the center of most residence halls while the Coliseum is more convenient for students in Greek Village and nearby student apartments, Gruner said.
“The Coliseum was seen actually as a student union that could have some amount of focus to our upperclassmen whereas our Russell House continues to really be the primary place for freshmen, underclassmen and the on-campus residents,” Gruner said.
Talks around the new student union previously centered around renovating the Coliseum, the previous home to the College of Hospitality, Retail and Sports Management before its move to the Close-Hipp building. It is unknown what purpose LeConte will serve following the renovations and relocations voted upon by the Board of Trustees.
Wright disagrees with the short-term prospects of the Coliseum being the center of campus and an effective student union.
“Fifty years from now, possibly, that’s a great option,” Wright said. “We bought land out there that is already being used by the golf team, will be eventually used as student recreation and things like that, but that’s still years out of the way from being developed. So Russell House and the Horseshoe is the middle of campus to me.”
Russell House has housed the student union without adding space since 1976. However, the student enrollment has grown every year. Some students think that Russell House is overcrowded at times.
“The third level’s probably the least crowded part; that’s why I come here when I’m trying to get work done,” said Darien Killebrew, first-year sports and entertainment management student. “But it’s very crowded if you need space to do something.”
For some students, the location of a new student union brings concerns about the distance from central campus.
Sean Hoppenhauer, first-year exercise science student, is concerned about how far away the Coliseum is from the center of campus.
“I just feel like here it’s right in the center, so that’s pretty convenient for I guess most students, considering the area and the dorms where they’re located,” Hoppenhauer said.
Killebrew is unsure of whether he would use a student union far away from center campus, but he is looking forward to the possibility of a new student union.
“You need different spaces to study and work kind of different than the library. I kind of spend my time up here instead of the library because it’s a different environment,” Killebrew said. “So having another student space where we can be comfortable and get our work done would be nice.”
The results of the feasibility study should be ready by the end of summer 2019, but there is currently no timeline for the new student union.
“This is not something we just want to rush into,” Gruner said. “But I would hope that as we get the study, in the months that follow that we can get a clear direction on what we want to do.”

International Consultant (Resilience & Sustainability Mainstreaming)
UNDP Myanmar is implementing its Country Programme for 2018-2022. Integrated programming has guided the design of the new programme in order to better address the inter-linkages between peace-building, governance, natural resource management and disaster resilience, inclusive growth, and the vertical linkages between subnational and national governance levels.
The Governance for Resilience and Sustainability Project (GRSP) is designed to help the Government of Myanmar (GoM) implement recent policy reforms related to environmental governance, climate change and disaster risk reduction (DRR), to ensure that economic growth in Myanmar is more inclusive, resilient and sustainable. The project recognises that environmental degradation, when combined with natural disasters and effects of climate change, undermines the attainment of inclusive and sustainable growth. It also recognises that Myanmar’s environmental assets present unique opportunities for green economic development, which can directly support women’s economic empowerment and community resilience.
Through GRSP, UNDP will continue to support the implementation of the new National Environmental Policy (NEP), Myanmar Action Plan for Disaster Risk Reduction (MAPDRR) and Myanmar Climate Change Policy and Climate Change Strategy and Master Plan (MCCSMP) at the Union and sub-national levels. This implementation of the NEP will be through the finalization of the Strategic Framework for the NEP, and the development of a national level Master Plan and similar master plans at the sub-national levels. These tools are intended to guide priority environmental governance interventions, as well as the mainstreaming of environmental considerations throughout all government planning and decision-making.
The NEP, MAPDRR and MCCSMP all advocate for the mainstreaming of environment, climate and DRR considerations throughout all sectors. Through GRSP, UNDP will support the lead agencies – the Environmental Conservation Department (ECD) and the Department of Disaster Management (DDM) – to develop an integrated approach to mainstreaming that also incorporates gender considerations. The intention is not to develop another strategy or document, but rather a set of practical tools that can be used collaboratively by ECD and DDM to support mainstreaming efforts. GRSP will also support the piloting of this mainstreaming approach by targeting one sector for practical incorporation of sustainability and resilience considerations into the particular sector plans.
With the adoption of the Myanmar Sustainable Development Plan (MSDP), as well as the preparation of the MSDP National Indicator Framework (NIF), it is important that the National Environmental Master Plan and the integrated mainstreaming strategy are prepared in a way that supports achievement of the MSDP.

Apprenticeship scheme wins national award
Our work to develop a national apprenticeship scheme for Clinical Associates in Psychology (CAP) has won a national award.
EPUT and our partners East London NHS Foundation Trust and Sheffield Health and Social Care NHS Foundation Trust jointly won the Workforce Initiative of the Year at the Health Service Journal Awards.
All three Trusts are pilot sites for the national NHS Community Mental Health Transformation Programme and developed the apprenticeship scheme to increase the number of people working in psychological services to meet increased demand for their help.
Just under 400 staff are either in training or have qualified through the apprenticeship scheme since November 2020.
The training courses are provided by EPUT and seven universities, with two more universities planning to offer courses soon. EPUT is the only NHS main provider of CAP training.
The scheme has helped increase the national number of qualified psychologists and offered talented graduates who might have faced barriers to training the opportunity to train on the job.
It has also encouraged greater diversity among the workforce, and between 45% and 70% of apprentices from across London, Sheffield and the East of England are from black and ethnic minority groups.
The apprentices have already contributed to improving patient care in various healthcare settings, including eating disorder services, rehabilitation, acute wards, primary care and community mental health services.
And their contribution to patient care has had overwhelmingly positive feedback from colleagues, service users and commissioners.
EPUT currently employs 13 newly qualified CAPs and 15 CAP apprentices. The Trust has trained a further 5 qualified CAPs who are progressing into other posts.
In total the Trust has 44 Clinical Associates in Psychology, who have recently completed or who are currently in training through the EPUT apprenticeship training programme.
Dr Greg Wood, Clinical Director of Psychological Services at EPUT and co-chair of the CAP Trailblazer Group, said: “I am so proud that the hard work that we have put in to address the gap in our applied psychology pathway has been recognised.
“The judges gave lovely feedback about the immense impact of the Clinical Associate in Psychology apprenticeship development, its future sustainability, the extent of partnerships that had been achieved, and the contribution towards promoting and enabling a more diverse workforce.
“The CAPs have proven themselves to be an invaluable addition to our workforce."
Linda Wilkinson, Director of Psychological Services and Consultant Clinical Psychologist at Sheffield Health and Social Care NHS Foundation Trust, said: "Thank you to everybody involved - our clinical associate in psychology apprentices, the apprenticeship leads, universities, and the provider partners for making this all possible.
“We are absolutely delighted with this honour, and now it gives us extra motivation to keep working and ensure that this work has a lasting effect not only in our areas but across the country.”
Dr Ravi Rana, Director of Therapies at East London NHS Foundation Trust, said: “This national award is recognition of the huge contribution apprenticeships can make in addressing the workforce problems we are all facing across our heath and care services.
“We are thrilled that through the CAP the psychology professions have been able to take a lead in demonstrating how apprenticeships can successfully bring innovation, diversity, inclusivity and stability to our workforce.”
The awards ceremony took place on 17 November.

The Medical Records Department of a Hospital is responsible for maintaining medical records in a standardized and professional manner in order to protect patient confidentiality while allowing adequate access to providers in order to promote quality patient care. Transcription, diagnosis coding, and release of information are some of the other major duties performed in the Medical Records Department of major hospitals. Also information is gathered and sent to state agencies concerning Traumas, Births, and Deaths.
Recently Nagpur Municipal Corporation had organized a seminar to sensitize all hospital administrators about the new guidelines in birth/death certificate submission. Shri.Mukesh Shambarkar and Smt.Deepa Goikar conducted the seminar. Smt.Jayshree Jugade, Coordinator, OCHRI Medical Record Department Division complimented TEAM NMC for this unique sensitization workshop. She highlighted that Aadhar card number is essential while filling up registration Number of patients and hence all patients who are approaching any health care service provider should positively carry Aadhar card. Without Aadhar card no birth or death registration will be done henceforth by NMC. Moreover, carbon copy of 2 other copies can be used in death certification, but the carbon paper should be new every time for clarity. All doctors are now expected to fill the forms in CAPITAL letters with no spelling mistakes since next day online entry is going to be done by MRD Divisions of various hospitals wherein no subsequent change is possible. Orange City Hospital & Research Institute caters to maximum number of accident cases amongst private hospital of Nagpur and the working methodology of OCHRI’s dedicated MRD division has been studied by many management school students.
Orange City Hospital & Research Institute’s Medical & Ambulance services was recently sought by Sport buds, Nagpur for providing emergency medical services for the “Prakash Sathe Memorial CYCLE RACE” organized in Nagpur on 10 January 2016.
Sport buds had organized Cycle race for various age groups and open category on Sunday 10.01.2016 at 5.30am from Deekshabhoomi square. OCHRI’s ambulance along with medical team escorted the entire event from 5.30am to 9am and provided medical services on the spot. Objective of the rally was to inspire the citizens of Nagpur to take up cycling as a means of transport and prevent environmental pollution and degradation. Smt. Devayani Sandeep Joshi, Organizer of this race applauded the efforts of OCHRI management and thanked them for this unique Social gesture at the venue and emergency medical backup for the program.
On this occasion Dr. Anup Marar, Director, OCHRI stated that Cycling is good for the health & environment. As a corporate social responsibility Orange City Hospital & Research Institute is always ready to provide medical services for any event or sports as we have the dedicated sports medicine & physiotherapy department and other allied medical facilities under one roof. In past OCHRI had also provided its services in many such sports events. He further added.

Jessica Capshaw quoted that maternal health remains a staggering challenge, particularly in the developing world. Globally, a woman dies from complications in childbirth every minute. While Marie Mongan stated that my dream is that every woman, everywhere, will know the joy of a truly safe, comfortable, and satisfying birthing for herself and her baby. Are you anticipating a newborn in your family? Then you must be worried about ensuring best possible care to your daughter/ sister/wife. You will surely expect that your obstetrician should be attending your daughter/ sister/wife as and when labor pains start? If the obstetrician is on holiday? What will you do? It is prudent to check for places which have group of Obstetricians who provide complete round the clock cover. You may not foresee, but if a complication does occur; does the maternity home have critical care backup, blood storage unit facility, good operation theatre, attached neonatal Care & Premature baby Unit, all diagnostics, full time Anesthetists & Physician services, in house round the clock pharmacy, physiotherapy and dietician services? Check on these heads before you enroll your daughter/ sister/wife for antenatal checkup in any maternity home.
Obstetrics is the field of study concentrated on pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. As a medical specialty, obstetrics is combined with gynecology under the discipline known as obstetrics and gynecology. An obstetrician is a doctor who specializes in the care of women during pregnancy, labor and after birth. One can comprehend the panic when labor pains really start. Immediate attention by a doctor is what one really wants. One also expects the hospital should have all backup if any complications occur. OCHRI Obstetrics and Gynecology Department provides a full range of OB/Gyn services to meet the health needs of women throughout their lives. OB/GYN are the two surgical–medical specialties dealing with the female reproductive organs in their pregnant and non-pregnant state. OCHRI Obstetrics and Gynecology Department provides general obstetric and gynecologic care, high-risk obstetrics, pap smears, menopause treatment, well woman clinic and many other services.
Orange City Hospital & Research Institute boasts of a dedicated Maternal & Child health division under insignia of Kalyani Maternity Home. With 3 Gynecologists providing round the clock cover namely Dr.Sindhu Bhute, Dr.Bindu Menon and Dr.Nitu Hedao; it is backed with a critical care unit which is served by a stationed 9 members Intensivist groups apart from a dedicated Pediatrics Division led by Dr.Kuldeep Sukhadeve. Blood storage unit, Services of full time Physicians & Anesthetists, Physiotherapy division, Dietician services, allied diagnostics including all related blood tests/ ultra-sonography facilities, fetal heart rate monitor, Neonatal resuscitation unit, Post partum Mental Health care unit, Neonatal ventilator, hysteroscope, colposcope and immunization facilities are some of the services provided under one roof in OCHRI Obstetrics and Gynecology Department . Expert Services of Pediatric Cardiologist, Pediatric Surgeon, Pediatric Neurologist, Vascular surgeon, Intervention Radiology with Cath Lab (to manage uncontrolled bleeding) are some unique additional characteristics to manage any eventualities here. Round the clock Emergency room complex with dedicated Medical officers and public relation executives assist one for immediate admission process.
OCHRI Obstetrics and Gynecology Department is also equipped with Central India’s first highly advanced unique automated labor or birthing chair. A birthing chair, also known as a birth chair, is a device that is shaped to assist a person in the physiological upright posture during childbirth. The birthing chair is intended to provide balance and support to mothers giving birth. Position of the birthing chair allows muscles used in childbirth to work to maximum efficiency. The labour room is attached to a dedicated Operation there if at all any surgical need arises.
The moment a child is born, a mother is also born. It is the most powerful creation to have a life growing inside a woman. I do consider that mothers are gifts from God. In fact, motherhood is the highest & holiest service given to mankind. Hence, I desired that a dedicated space should be created in OCHRI in memory of my mother Smt. Kalyanikutty Amma for ensuring safe motherhood. I am happy with the commendable services being offered to would be mothers by OCHRI Maternal & Child Health team led by Dr.Bindu Menon and Dr.Kuldeep Sukhadeve. This was stated by Udaybhaskar Nair, Chairman, Orange City Hospital & Research Institute.
Dr.Sindhu Bhute, Senior Consultant, OCHRI stated that addressing maternal health means ensuring that all women receive the care they need to be safe and healthy throughout pregnancy and childbirth. Every minute of every day, somewhere in the world and most often in a developing country, a woman dies from complications related to pregnancy or childbirth. Nearly all maternal deaths occur in the developing world–making maternal mortality the health statistic with the largest disparity between developed and developing countries. New Born babies are also under going this terrible fate.
Dr.Bindu Menon, Consultant Incharge, OCHRI added that for every woman who dies, 30 to 50 women suffer injury, infection, or disease. Pregnancy-related complications are among the leading causes of death and disability for women age 15-49 in developing countries. When a mother dies, children lose their primary caregiver, communities are denied her paid and unpaid labor, and countries forego her contributions to economic and social development. A woman’s death is more than a personal tragedy–it represents an enormous cost to her nation, her community, and her family. Any social and economic investment that has been made in her life is lost. Her family loses her love, her nurturing, and her productivity inside and outside the home. Research has shown that small and affordable measures can significantly reduce the health risks that women face when they become pregnant. Most maternal deaths could be prevented if women had access to appropriate health care during pregnancy, childbirth, and immediately afterwards. Safe motherhood means ensuring that all women receive the care they need to be safe and healthy throughout pregnancy and childbirth.
Dr.Kuldeep Sukhadeve, Consultant Incharge, Pediatrics & Neonatal Care division mentioned that each year, approximately 4 million newborn infants die during the first month of life, and an additional 4 million are stillborn- most of these deaths are due to infection, asphyxia and birth injuries, and complications of premature birth. Low birth weight contributes to newborn death in about 40-80% of cases. Nearly all of these newborn deaths occur in developing countries, and most of these deaths can be prevented if good-quality is available. With the rising survival rate of premature babies, it becomes increasingly important for mothers to consider all options. Mothers can also help to ensure that their newborns are by banking their cord blood, which contains a rich source of stem cells. Newborn health and survival are closely linked to the health of the mother before and during pregnancy, as well as during labor, childbirth, and the postpartum period. OCHRI Pediatrics & Neonatal Care unit not only caters to babies from OCHRI but also other hospitals and maternity homes from all over Central India that refer needy babies for quality critical care support.
Dr.Nitu Hedao, Gynecologist, OCHRI said that there are many emergencies noticed in Obstetrics. The main emergencies include Ectopic pregnancy, Pre-eclampsia ,Placental abruption, Fetal distress, Shoulder dystocia, Uterine rupture, Prolapsed cord ,Obstetrical hemorrhage & Puerperal sepsis . Dr.Madhuri Likhitkar, Senior Medical Officer Incharge, Obstetrics & Gynecology division stated that OCHRI Obstetrics division caters to referred cases from all over central India, part of Madhya Pradesh and Chattishgarh for its recognition as Maternity Hospital with attached exemplary tertiary care services. Regular morning and evening OBGY OPD along with Pediatrics & Neonatal OPD is a unique feature here so that after delivery mothers can get their checkups done along with follow up of their babies and immunizations in one OPD complex only. One can call on Dr.Bindu Menon, Consultant Incharge, Obstetrics & Gynecology Division, in OCHRI morning OPD from 10 am to 3 pm or Dr.Nitu Hedao in evening OPD from 6-8pm for obtaining further related details of services.
The point is to birth with LOVE and CONFIDENCE, without FEAR, without unnecessary INTERVENTION, and with a supportive team who shares your birth vision. The wonderful side-effect of this type of gentle, mother-centered, empowered birth is more pleasure and less pain.

Brisk walking for 30 min “recharges” your heart & bones- Dr.Anup Marar
Orange City Hospital & Research Institute celebrated 2nd October 2015 with around 700 “youngsters” aged 60-100 years who successfully completed the Walkathon for men and women above 60 years of age to commemorate Gandhi Jayanti and Senior Citizen Day at Ram Mandir, Ramnagar, Nagpur organized by Paschim Nagpur Nagrik Sangh and Ram Mandir.
The child like glee and enthusiasm amongst all these 700 odd “Youngsters” was too palpable and infectious. Dr.Anup Marar, Director, OCHRI accompanied by Dr.Deepak Dongre, SMO I/c- Special Projects , OCHRI were prominently present on this occasion. They provided emergency backup for the participants. On this occasion, Dr.Anup Marar who is a Pediatrician by profession stated that Geriatrics and Pediatrics have many common physical dietary and psychological issues. He advised all senior citizen members that God has made such an exemplary model of human body wherein brisk walking even for at least 30 min a day is a good RECHARGE for your heart and the solar panels on your skin automatically RECHARGES your bones.
Bonus is not letting one’s passion and enthusiasm ebb away! Hats off to OCHRI’s “young friends” led by Shri.Jayant Apte, President, Ram Mandir Trust who religiously toil hard every year to organize this event and also consider OCHRI as their family hospital. As Aldous Huxley rightly stated the secret of genius is to carry the spirit of the child into old age, which mean never losing your enthusiasm. Live your life, forget your age!


As Governor Nyesom Wike led- administration intensifies efforts in fight against criminals in Rivers state, the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) has also resolved to assist government and the state Police command to fight crime.
The NURTW chairman in the state, Comrade Muhammed Umar Giwa, stated the union’s stand in an interview with Blueprint Thursday in Port-Harcourt.
He said the organised body had in its own way been co-operating with the police in the state to expose criminal elements in its trailer park recently demolished and located in Eleme-Ebubu business community.
The chairman who described the Eleme industrial and commercial community as an economic hub in Rivers state and revenue empire of the federal government stated the need for all stakeholders to assist government in protecting the interests of investors in the zone that is playing host to over 200 industrial companies.
Giwa particularly commended the newly elected executive council chairman of Eleme local government area, Chief Obarillormate Ollor, for not compromising security of lives and property in the Eleme ten communities since insecurity assumed an alarming dimension across the country, especially in the North, South-east and North central among others.
The union chairman stated that in less than 100 days in office, Ollormate had changed the socio-economic and infrastructure development of Eleme by improving electricity in constant supply, environmental sanitation and maintenance of clean drainages across the communities, especially in Onne business community hosting the country’s premier Oil and Gas Free Zone that had suffered epileptic power supply for over six months.
Giwa also commended the state governor and the Eleme council boss for demolishing all illegal structures where criminals used to hide after operating, especially the trailer park. He pointed out that the government suffered huge revenue derivable monthly, but security of innocent people and their businesses counted above all other considerations.
“ I make bold to describe the council chairman as an ambassador of peace because he has strong bond with all the non-indigenes such as Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba among others who live together without crises. We are well accommodated by Eleme man and woman leaving in their different communities,” Giwa stated

What is CBD?
CBD (cannabidiol) is a chemical molecule that comes from the cannabis or hemp plant. It interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system, resulting in certain effects. In Australia, CBD-based products are mainly available after being prescribed by healthcare professionals. A range of medical cannabis products can contain CBD, such as oils and vaporisers.
CBD interacts with the endocannabinoid system to create physiological effects in the human body. Many medicinal cannabis products are CBD-based. Research around CBD is ongoing to discover potential medicinal applications.
CBD interacts with cannabinoid receptors to cause somatic changes in the body. The CB1 receptors are primarily located in the brain and central nervous system whereas the CB2 receptors are located in a range of peripheral tissues throughout the body. Different cannabinoids have unique interactions with these receptors. CBD interacts with both the CB1 and CB2 receptors without binding to them. Because of this, it doesn’t create psychoactive effects in the way that THC does.
CBD products are legal in Australia, but typically they require a prescription. It is important to note that the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) has recently down-scheduled CBD products with a low dose to Schedule 3. This means there is potential for over-the-counter CBD products, however there are none currently on the market. This is partly because they must have 98% or more CBD and 1% or less THC, making them difficult to manufacture. For the moment, legally obtaining a CBD-based medical cannabis product in Australia requires a valid prescription from a doctor. For more information about the legality of CBD in Australia, check out our geographical FAQs.
A healthcare provider may prescribe a CBD product to a patient in Australia when they believe it would be beneficial for their treatment. They can apply for a prescription using the appropriate channels. The two primary methods of getting a prescription approved are the Special Access Scheme (SAS) and becoming an authorised prescriber (AP). The SAS involves submitting an approval application for individual prescriptions assigned to specific patients. On the other hand, a doctor who is an authorised prescriber can prescribe CBD products to a range of patients under their care.
CBD is a common component in a range of different medicinal cannabis products. It can be administered in different forms depending on what suits a particular patient better. CBD oil, vaporisation, edible products and topical products are the primary options available on the market.
CBD oil is a commonly used form of CBD-based medicinal cannabis. It is made by extracting cannabinoids from a plant and then infusing them into a carrier oil, which helps with absorption. CBD oils have different classifications based on their chemical makeup, such as full spectrum and broad spectrum. It is typically administered sublingually and orally, meaning it gets absorbed through the mucus membrane under the tongue. Learn more by reading our cannabis oil article.
CBD vaporisers are an inhalable method of ingesting CBD. They work by heating up an extract or dry herb into a vapour before inhaling it into the lungs. The CBD is absorbed through the lungs and then enters the bloodstream. To find out more, check out our cannabis vaporisation article.
Some medicinal cannabis cultivars have flowers with a high potency of CBD and a low potency of THC. They have been bred specifically with that purpose in mind. However, these tend to be fairly rare. More often, CBD products will be derived from extract that has carefully isolated CBD whilst minimising the THC present.
The cost of CBD products in Australia is affected by a number of factors including the concentration, the type of product, the dosage and a patient’s health insurance policy. If a CBD product is more concentrated, it will often carry a higher price tag on a total cannabinoid basis in milligrams. Additionally, the type of product may be important as well. Manufacturing costs could be higher for a CBD oil capsule compared to dry herb. The dosage is also important. If someone is assigned a higher dosage, that will mean being comparatively more of a product used for their treatment. And health insurance is another important aspect. Public health insurance like Medicare or the Pharmaceutical benefits scheme, will not include CBD-based treatments. However, there are private health insurers that do cover medicinal cannabis costs among their optional extras. Knowing the finer details of an insurance policy allows more effective calculation of CBD treatment costs.
CBD and THC are similar chemicals that have some key differences. While their atomic makeup is the same (21 carbon atoms, 30 hydrogen atoms and 2 oxygen atoms), their chemical structure is slightly different. THC has an open ring arrangement whereas CBD has a closed ring arrangement. This has a significant impact on how the molecules interact with the receptors in the endocannabinoid system. THC tends to bind to CB1 receptors. This is what is responsible for the psychoactive effects that THC products can have. CBD interacts with the receptors without binding to them, preventing this side-effect.
There are a range of edible medicinal cannabis products available in Australia. Find out how they are utilised medicinally.

Following a worldwide premiere as Annie Mac’s Hottest Record on BBC Radio 1 last night, George FitzGeraldis pleased to mark his return with new track, ‘Burns’. ‘Burns’ is the first new music from FitzGerald since his 2015 debut album, Fading Love and is a nod towards his forthcoming second album, due to land in Spring 2018.
“The track started life as a kind of strange studio experiment making a beatless chant out of loads of contrasting vocal samples, and then morphed over time.”FitzGerald sayid, ” It works as a moment on a dancefloor but at heart it’s meant to be quite meditative”.
With the announcement of ‘Burns’, FitzGerald is primed to debut his live show. After cutting his teeth as an international touring DJ, FitzGerald shifts his focus to the live sphere, proving himself to be a rare example of an artist capable of making the transition from DJ playing tracks for club consumption to composer of full length LPs and live musician. With FitzGerald at the helm alongside his band consisting of Mike Lesirge of Bonobo’s touring band plus drummer Guillaume Jambel, the debut live show takes place in this November. Keep an eye out for US dates in 2018.

Maruti Suzuki will build Ciaz and Ertiga and supply them to Toyota.
Timeline of launch has not been revealed yet.
Expect the Toyota-badged Ertiga to come to the market first.
It’s possible that the next-gen Ciaz, possibly based on the Heartect platform, will be rebadged for Toyota.
Suzuki and Toyota have revealed some new details of their recent agreement, which will see vehicles being rebadged for India and some other global markets. For India, the primary revelation is the rebadging of the Ciaz and Ertiga. Both the carmakers had previously talked only about rebadging the Baleno and Vitara Brezza.
While Toyota-Suzuki are yet to reveal a timeline, we expect the Toyota-badged Ertiga to come to India before the Ciaz. It is likely that the next-gen Ciaz will be based on one of the versions of Suzuki’s Heartect platform, and that will be the car Toyota will rebadge for India. The first-gen Ciaz was launched in India in 2014 and is due for a replacement in 2020.
It will be interesting to see how both the Toyota-badged Ciaz and Yaris will co-exist in India. While we can’t rule out the discontinuation of the Yaris, Toyota may as well opt to replace the Etios sedan with one of these, and keep the other as a more premium vehicle in its portfolio.
As far as the Ertiga is concerned, it has just received a new generation and is underpinned by the Heartect platform. It will be easier for Toyota to rebadge it quickly and launch in India. The Ertiga-based MPV will obviously be positioned under the Innova Crysta in Toyota’s portfolio.

text: I am missing my ex right now all of a sudden. Why? I don’t know. This is happening for the third time since we separated and every time this emotion manages to make me anxious and my feelings wheel as if in a whirlwind. Today, I even surfed his name and then, as always, that feeling of the regret of surfing him grew on me.


In mid-May, North & East Texas conference attendees were invited to tour the Bell County Justice Complex, comprised of the Bell County Justice Center (Phases I & II), Bell County Jail, and Bell County Multi-Use Facility.
Phase I of the 184,900-square-foot Justice Center, funded by $23.4 million in limited tax notes, was completed in May 2006 and includes five district courts, judges’ chambers, jury call, law library, support spaces, central plant, and administrative offices for the district attorney and district clerk. Phase II, funded by $26.95 million in limited tax notes, was set for completion in June and includes three county courts at law, two auxiliary courtrooms, a justice of the peace court, and judges’ chambers along with public and administrative spaces for the county attorney and county clerk.
The adjacent 658-bed jail, funded with $42 million in limited tax notes, was completed in 2008 and includes video visitation, detention administration, 24-bed infirmary, kitchen, laundry, and maintenance space. The 158,500-square-foot facility was master planned as a 1,400-bed facility and can easily be expanded by adding housing clusters.
The $3.2 million, 29,700-square-foot multi-use facility is occupied by the sheriff’s department, county buildings and grounds, and multiple county agencies. This project was funded via limited tax notes and was completed in February 2010.
