Basal temperature pregnancy test
To take your basal temperature, you must follow a daily routine.
The basal temperature test is based on the temperature variations of the woman’s body according to the moment of her menstrual cycle. Also called the Ogino method (after the discoverer of it), the woman must record her body temperature daily, always taken simultaneously, to know if she is ovulating or infertile.

How to know if you are pregnant with basal temperature
A much more traditional formula for knowing if you are pregnant is applying the basal temperature method. It is based on the fact that body temperature is lower at the beginning of the menstrual cycle, during ovulation, and rises in women’s infertile period. Therefore, you can provide us with information on whether or not pregnancy has occurred: if the highest temperature (above 37 degrees) is recorded for more than 18 days, the egg has likely been fertilized.
To apply this method, a routine is essential every day:
You are taking your temperature when you wake up, before getting out of bed, and without making any physical effort. It is recommended to have slept a minimum of six to eight hours; otherwise, you have to rest for at least an hour before taking it. Perform it every day simultaneously to avoid records of different temperatures and in the same place. It is recommended in the mouth, anus, or vagina, as the measurement in the armpit can be inaccurate.
Obligatory consultation to the gynecologist
Whether the tests give us negatively, and the menstrual cycle still does not appear, or if they test positive or we believe that our basal temperature indicates a pregnancy, the next step will be to go to the gynecologist for a thorough examination to confirm the situation. This specialist will perform a blood test and a vaginal ultrasound that will remove any doubt.
According to a study by the Spanish Society of Gynecology and Obstetrics (SEGO), the probability of pregnancy in a couple who have sex regularly is only 20 percent per month, according to a study by the Spanish Society of Gynecology and Obstetrics (SEGO). Thus, the time it takes for a healthy couple to conceive a child is five months and two weeks. Age is decisive: a woman between the ages of 20 and 25 has a 20% to 25% chance of becoming pregnant within the first month of trying, while after 30, the percentage drops to 15% in each cycle menstrual.
What is the relationship between basal temperature and ovulation?
The basal temperature test to achieve pregnancy
Whether you are looking for a pregnancy or want to avoid it, knowing the time of ovulation (which is also your fertile days) is key to success. And one of the ways to know when you are ovulating (in addition to paying attention to a series of physical and emotional signals) is to use the basal temperature test.
Basal temperature is your body temperature, but the temperature you have when you wake up. This body temperature increases at the time of the luteal phase, that is, when your fertile period of ovulation ends. It is estimated that the basal temperature may increase by 0.2 to 0.5 degrees at this time. An increase that is also maintained until menstruation or, in the case of conception, during pregnancy.
The fertile days in women correspond to the four days before ovulation and the two days after ovulation. The basal temperature test can help you get closer to the best day to achieve pregnancy; once you check on which day of your cycle, the luteal phase (the phase that follows ovulation) usually occurs.
How the basal temperature test is performed to achieve pregnancy
To use the basal temperature test and be successful if you are looking for pregnancy, you must follow a routine and be disciplined since you will have to record your basal temperature day after day. Take note of these essential tips before starting:
- Use a mercury thermometer if possible, as they are more accurate. But do not worry. You can also do it with a specific digital thermometer for this method, which is sold in pharmacies.
- You should take your basal temperature as soon as you wake up and before getting out of bed. So keep the thermometer close by. It would be best if you left it prepared the night before.
- Use a notebook where you can write down your basal temperature or a diary to specify the day and time you measured your basal temperature. Try to do the measurement always at the same time.
- Always measure basal temperature in the same body area: armpit, mouth, or vagina. In the three areas, the result may vary.
- Aim is an observation if you have experienced any alteration in your activity the night before: if you have gone out for a run if you have stayed up all night or are ill. All of these factors can influence your basal temperature.
Now, follow these steps and see if you can find your fertile days with the basal temperature technique:
- You should start measuring your basal temperature on the first day of your cycle. That is, the first day you have your period.
- Write down your temperature each morning at the same time. As you write it down, you must create a graph to draw a curve.
- To create your basal temperature curve, point the days horizontally and the temperature vertically. Then you have to draw a line joining all the temperature points to find the point where the curve rises.
- As soon as you locate the first temperature rise, you will know that this is when your fertile days are over.
- If you are looking for pregnancy and you succeeded, you will see how the basal temperature continues to be higher than usual. It will surely not go down until the end of the pregnancy.

To One and All is a collection of poems written in plain, everyday language about events in our lives. It is addressed to one and all, young and old, and the world at large. It comprises stories and riddles about many of the emotions and thoughts each of us feel at some point in our lives.
The poems in this collection both ask and answers questions, and give hints and clues to some nagging events in our lives. Everyone of us should find some of our questions answered in these poems. Mr. Scott conveys to us the peace and quiet that lies within him, as well as his desire to see the world at large unite and seek this peace, whichis found from Heaven above.
To One and All draws upon faith, love of beauty and social awareness. It points to the very thread that binds all of the verse, and the presence of the workings of God in the universe. We should always seek to know God's purpose by following His teachings --especially to love our neighbour.

It looks like Crunchyroll are making their own showing at New York Comic-Con 2021 alongside Funimation. They’ve got their own anime to show off though, with one of them being Blade Runner: Black Lotus. They’ve even got a brand new trailer for it. Check it out below:

Apparently, we’ll finally get to see it on November 13, 2021 at 9 PM (PT). The premiere also won’t just consist of a single episode, but 2. It will be a back-to-back feature, giving audiences a decently good start to the story. Hopefully, it will mollify fans who were a bit put off by the initial trailer.

- The group, Citizens for Erfurt, planted the crosses in the village of Marbach
- The owner of the site said he plans to take legal action against the activists
- Muslim community’s imam says the demonstration will not stop construction
- The Dailymail.co.uk http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4326340/Activists-crosses-construction-site-mosque.html
Right-wing extremists in Germany have hampered the construction of a mosque by erecting ten large crosses at the site.
The group, planted the wooden structures in the small village of Marbach, near Erfurt, in the central eastern state of Thuringia, in early March.
The owner of the site has said he plans to take legal action against the activists, named as ‘Citizens for Erfurt’.
The crosses were hammered into the ground at the construction site for a mosque in the state of Thuringia
The mosque is being constructed for the Ahmadiyya Muslims in the area. The sect of Islam was founded in the 19th Century by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad.
The community’s imam, Imam Said Ahmad Arif, said the move by the right-wing demonstrators would not stop the construction of the Mosque.
He told Sputnik News: ‘This is not something that scares us.’
He added that the demonstrators were in the minority and that the Muslim community had received support from a range of politicians, apart from the growing right-wing populist party Alternative for Deutschland (AfD).
On the Citizens for Erfurt Facebook page, the group wrote: ‘We built a sign of identity and our way of life. For the preservation of our culture.’
Evangelical pastor Ricklef Muennich condemned the actions of Citizens for Erfurt.
He said: ‘There is no reason to ram ten crosses into the ground as a sign of battle. The cross of Jesus really stands for love, for love of your neighbor and your enemies.

Two great iPad alternatives are the Asus Transformer Prime TF201 and Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 because they both have a great combination of performance and features. While the Galaxy Note 10.1 isn't out yet, we already know the Prime is one of the best tablets out there. That's in part because of its quality build, and also because it is something of a legend already. As the first tablet to get updated to the Android 4.0 operating system, the Prime quickly became beloved by Android enthusiasts.
Galaxy Note 10.1 is following in the footsteps of another device that is becoming quite popular. The Galaxy Note smartphone is known for its large size, LTE speeds and stylus. The Note 10.1 takes the stylus, anyway, and keeps the Samsung tradition of high-quality mobile devices going for the rest of 2012. We don't have a price for it yet, but it debuted at the Mobile World Congress in February, and we're guessing it will go for $600 on release. Samsung tablets aren't usually inexpensive.

Much was made of the record-tying high temperature on Aug. 3, when the thermometer hit 113. That tied a record set on Aug. 11, 1936.
As we all sweltered this month, Oklahomans old enough to remember the original 113-degree day could offer some perspective. In 1936, air conditioning was a rarity. Indeed, in some parts of the country then, electricity itself was still in the future.
Conditioning the air has its roots in ancient Rome, but the forerunner of what we have now dates to early in the 20th century and Willis Haviland Carrier’s electric air conditioning system.
Oklahoma should set aside a day each year to honor The Father of Cool. Since his birthday is Nov. 26, when nature cools us without electricity, perhaps Aug. 3 — or Aug. 11 — is appropriate.


text: Thanks to a steady stream of compilations and reissues, many are now familiar with the contribution made by Brazilian artists to the sounds of '70s jazz-funk and disco. This brilliant compilation takes a different approach, instead shining a light on the country's instrumental funk scene during that most exciting of musical decades. Largely made up of unknown cuts by obscure artists, the material combines the horn-toting, Hammond-sporting heaviness of U.S soul and funk from the period with the sun-kissed colour and jaunty swing of indigenous Brazilian music. It's a hugely attractive hybrid sound that guarantees thrills and spills throughout, not to mention a string of highlights. Check it out for yourself: we guarantee you won't be disappointed.

this is good game
i made it to level 15 but there are some problems you should have way more time,its pretty boring,where are the bullets coming from his dick or something,make it shorter,make it easie just a bit other than that its a good game not in the top 10 good but good. :)
This was a nice and simple platformer, with a refreshingly square and obvious level layout. The arrows and monsters aren't fully challenging, but rather entertaining variations to a regular platformer, and the coins really glow! The way you can play the game again is nice, even though it feels like the character moves almost too fast the second time, making it hard to avoid arrows and drops, and running faster than the bullet?! That's something extra.! :D Nice game!
Played all the levels, didn't get the medals.
not too bad of a game. it made you think. has a pitfall meets mario brothers feel to it

The TSE - Despite U.S. events, exchange opens on time, shuts down hour later
By ANGELA BARNES, The Globe and Mail
Wednesday, September 12, 2001
Despite the horrific events in New York Tuesday morning, the Toronto Stock Exchange opened on time at 9:30 a.m., but then closed just over an hour later. But by that time, the TSE 300-stock composite index had plummeted more than 4 per cent to its lowest level since late October, 1999, in very erratic, volatile and heavy trading.
It remains to be seen whether the exchange will reopen Wednesday. TSE management were to meet this morning at 6:30 a.m. to decide, according to exchange spokesman Steve Kee. He told the Dow Jones news service that officials will factor into their decision how overseas markets perform overnight, whether they were orderly, how U.S. stocks fare and when U.S. markets reopen, among other things. Late Tuesday afternoon, the New York Stock Exchange announced that U.S. financial markets would remain closed Wednesday. The NYSE statement said that after further consultation with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, it will be announced Wednesday when the U.S. stock markets will reopen.
As of 6 p.m. Tuesday, the TSE meeting this morning was still on, another exchange official indicated. In other fallout from Tuesday's catastrophe, the Investment Funds Institute of Canada, the body representing mutual fund companies, said that all trading in funds has been suspended until further notice. "We are continuing to monitor the situation and trading will resume at the earliest possible convenience," said Tom Hockin, IFIC president. The Canadian Securities Administrators, which represents the 13 provincial and territorial securities commissions, said it fully supports the decision by IFIC to stop trading in mutual funds, the move by the Investment Dealers Association of Canada to close the domestic bond and money markets and the decision by the Canadian stock exchanges to stop trading.
The CSA said it is monitoring the situation, but that "it is expected the disruption in markets will be temporary and that trading will resume as soon as practicable." Tuesday, even though the first details of the attacks on the World Trade Center were already known, the TSE composite opened down just 28.5 points. But as the terrible story unfolded, investors scrambled to sell, dropping the TSE 300-stock composite 295.9 points to 7,048.8 by the time trading was halted at 10:40 a.m. Investors sold bank stocks, conglomerates, consumer products, transportation issues, utilities and pipelines. Conglomerates took the biggest hit, down 9.41 per cent with heavyweight, Canadian Pacific Ltd. off $5.84 at $53. Only gold and oil stocks escaped the wave of selling. The oil and gas sector climbed 2.03 per cent, as the price of crude oil rose. And the gold and precious minerals group surged 7 per cent as the price of bullion soared $14.40 (U.S.) to $286 an ounce. The greatly shortened session was marked by a withdrawal of a lot of buyers from the market, said Fred Ketchen, the head of equity trading for Scotia Capital in Toronto. Many buy orders in the trading system were cancelled, he said.
The decision to go ahead and open the exchange has raised some eyebrows on Bay Street. TSE president Barbara Stymiest said at the time the TSE began trading, most of the other major markets in the world were open. "We were monitoring the situation constantly throughout the piece and it made sense to us at the time," she said. "We were in constant contact with all of the broker-dealers who were obviously in contact with their institutional and retail investors." But Mr. Ketchen said the New York Stock Exchange had indicated before the normal 9:30 a.m. opening of the markets that it wouldn't be operating. Mr. Ketchen described the move to open the TSE for trading as wrong and unfortunate. "They probably had their reasons, but I just think under these circumstances those reasons were probably invalid." "I wish they hadn't [opened]; I think they probably wish they hadn't," he said. As for the subsequent decision to cease operations for the day, "I wish they hadn't been so long in doing it," he said. Ms. Stymiest said the market was closed when it became apparent that the situation had caused "difficulties within our own markets here in Canada." When asked what she meant, she replied, "You have seen that downtown Toronto is empty; people wanted to go home."

“It’s The Economy, Stupid” – Bill Clinton
OPINION| Lawrence David|
There’s a reason that Bill Clinton, facing impeachment, won reelection on that slogan.
When all the rhetoric espousing the pros and cons of each candidate has been absorbed by voters to the point of anger and confusion, one truth remains. Am I better off financially than I was four years ago?
That is the undeniable truth facing Democrats desperate to unseat President Trump. The incredible economic revival that has been ushered in by President Trump and his team of economic advisors has literally run off the scale.
The latest proof that there’s no end in sight for economic growth here in the USA was the off-the-charts spending spree Americans have been on since Black Friday.
The Christmas/Hanukkah shopping season is when retailers make or break their fiscal year. And this year, thanks to President Trump’s economic policies, produced a nearly impossible to predict 3.4% increase in year-over-year holiday retail sales.
The U.S. GDP is largely – very largely – fueled by consumer spending. The 3.4% gain translates into tens of billions of dollars of economic activity. T-E-N-S OF B-I-L-L-I-O-N-S!!!
What makes this all the more incredible is this was accomplished in 6 fewer days than last year’s record sales due to the late date that Thanksgiving fell on.
Eighteen percent less selling days, 3.4% growth in sales… WOW!!!
An incredibly strong economy, low unemployment, low inflation, higher wages and more disposable income has given Americans much to be thankful for.
As 2019 comes to a close, the US economy earns its highest ratings in almost two decades…
…Overall, 76% rate economic conditions in the US today as very or somewhat good, significantly more than those who said so at this time last year (67%). This is the highest share to say the economy is good since February 2001, when 80% said so.
The economy promises to get even better as President Trump continues unhooking the U.S. from its dependence on China’s manufacturing sector. The “smart” people told us uncoupling from China would lead to economic decline…
Except, it didn’t:
November Job Gains +266,000
Unemployment Rate 3.5%
Wage Growth +3.1%
Obama – eight years – $11 Trillion in added debt – $1 Trillion in equity growth.
Trump – three years – $3 Trillion in added debt – $11 Trillion in equity growth.
And, all three key stock markets are at all-time highs…
Remember when we woke up the day after voting for Donald Trump and we were treated to the sage prediction of the Globalists favorite economist…
Trump has exposed all of the lies and mechanisms that were designed and put in place by Washington elites to deceive Americans while they stole their tax dollars.
“The Washington establishment and the financial and media corporations that fund it exists for only one reason, to protect and enrich itself.
“The establishment has trillions of dollars at stake…”
“…The political establishment that is trying to stop us is the same group responsible for our disastrous trade deals, massive illegal immigration, and economic and foreign policies that have bled our country dry.”
Things are so good that Senate Republicans, the same Senate Republicans who opposed Donald Trump’s election, are taking credit for the booming economy.
Democrats’ gift to American workers? Three years wasted obsessing over impeachment.
Republicans’ gift to American workers? See for yourself! ???? pic.twitter.com/HJ9Po4V88c
— Senate Republicans (@SenateGOP) December 18, 2019
Senate Republicans, as a whole, are not on Trump’s side.
Be weary of RINOS …

After the music of Bob Marley & The Wailers also reached notable success by a rock-oriented audience in the mid-seventies certain U.K.-based labels attempted to follow the policy of Chris Blackwell's Island Records, the label that signed "third world's" first superstar. Richard Branson's Virgin Records was the other progressive rock record company that started to invest in Jamaican music. They licensed material from some of the main producers in that specific period - "Joe Joe" Hookim, Bunny "Striker" Lee and Prince Tony Robinson - and released it on their subsidiary label "Frontline". Thus excellent music from artists like the Mighty Diamonds, Peter Tosh, Johnny Clarke, Gregory Isaacs, U Roy and the Gladiators was brought to a wide audience in the second half of the seventies.|
Now the "Music Collection" label has gathered some of the best "roots 'n' culture" tunes and put it on this essential compilation set. One glance at the tracklisting of this twenty-one track collection should prove enough of a reminder for those who forgot just how much groundbreaking reggae music was released on Virgin's "Frontline" label.

In an attempt to get out of a quarantining rut, Orin, who turns 3 on Oct. 15, and his mom, Lindsay Ball, decided to take a stroll around their neighborhood.
“Our older son is busy with virtual school, so I find myself desperate for ways to keep Orin busy,” Ball said in an email.
While the pair were out on their walk, Orin noticed that one of his neighbors had put up decorations for Halloween, and one in particular seemed to pique his interest — so much so that he decided to imitate the inflatable’s movements.
Video recorded by Orin’s mom shows the jovial toddler dancing along with an inflatable Jack Skellington that was waving around in the air, like those often seen at car dealerships.
“Our next door neighbor had just put the Jack Skellington up in their yard, and Orin hadn’t noticed it until our walk. He’s always been a character and a complete clown, so him imitating Jack wasn’t really a surprise or unusual,” Ball said.
Orin’s ability to emulate the inflatable decoration’s movements certainly showcased his humorous character.
“In fact, he had been doing it for a good while when I finally decided to pull out my phone and record it, because I thought my parents and in-laws would get a kick out of it,” Ball joked. “As a family, we love to laugh, and we're so happy that Orin's dance moves have brought a smile to so many people's faces!”

Dead Island: Riptide – Audio Recordings Locations Guide
Zombies have taken over the island of Palanai, but don’t let that stop you from collecting every hidden item in Dead island: Riptide. There are five different types of collectibles in the game, and the audio recordings of Angela Guerra are likely the first you’ll find. One is never enough, get a few steps closer to 100% with the audio recordings locations guide.
At the start of the game, after arriving on Palanai Island you’ll cross a dock jutting from the beach called Pearl Sands in the southwest edge of the island.
From the wooden walkway, look for a shack down on the sand that’s locked. On one of the high ledges, you’ll be able to jump onto the roof and enter through a hole in the ceiling. The recording is found inside, where you’ll be able to unlock a door to escape. Look on the small corner table.
Audio Recording #2:
Explore the Mataka Village in the center of the map, on the water, to find this recording. You’ll go to this location on the “Electrifying” quest that comes up early in the game.
There’s a locked house on the southern side of the town, just under a building over the river. Climb the piled up boxes to get into the house’s gated yard, and break down the door to find the recording on a shelf inside.
Audio Recording #3:
West of Tyler’s location is another camp where you’ll find an NPC named Miya, on the northern rim of the map. She’ll give repeatable quests, and there’s a recording in her camp.
Look for a wooden seat near discarded luggage in the camp to find this recording.
Audio Recording #4:
On the northern edge of the island, there’s a building near the water, located east of Miya’s camp. You’ll find an NPC named Tyler inside.
Past him and the crafting bench, you’ll find a chest near the outer edge of the platform. The recording on near the ledge, to the right of the white box.
Audio Recording #5:
This recording can only be found inside the science facility, which becomes accessible during the quest “Way of Science” given by the NPC Harlow, which leads you to the BioSphere facility.
Instead of going inside the main building on the right, take a left through the minefield and enter the bunker that becomes available after the “Surplus” quest.
Inside, use the ladder to climb to the floor above, where the recording can be found.
Audio Recording #6:
There’s only one recording in the tunnel area. After getting the quest to enter the tunnels from Trevor. After entering the underground and attempting to turn on the lights, you’ll pass through a very spooky pathway.
In the dark area, keep your eyes left for a door that can be broken down. Inside are a group of zombies, with the audio recording on the ground in the back of the room.
Audio Recording #7:
Located in the Ferry Station which becomes available after accepting “The Crossing” quest from Sam Hardy.
After fighting back the swarm of zombies, you’ll be able to explore the station before leaving on the ferry.
There’s a locked building on the southern section of the map that opens during the “Terminal Siege” event. Check the supply building out to find this recording.
Audio Recording #8:
There’s a large theater near the center of the city — travel west to find an open square with a covered table keeping this recording.
On the map, the location is just northwest of the Concert Plaza, but can’t be reach from there. You’ll need to cross the city from the Cinema. On the way to the Military Base from the cinema, you’ll find it down a longer path leading down a dead end courtyard where several crafting tables are located.
Audio Recording #9:
There’s a small building on the southern edge of the city, near the water and west of the Fort.
Break down the store’s door to find the recording inside. It can be reached from steps leading alongside the water. The building sits alone on the map, unconnected to the rest of the paved area.
Audio Recording #10:
The last recording is located in the Military Base, located in a locked section west of the main city. You can enter the area after taking the “Militarized Zone” quest from Sam Hardy.
Taking the bridge into the base, explore the open tents just past the opening gates.

First, weighing in on two cable movies, one of which thoroughly chilled me and another that left me cold.
An acting tour de force that gives the viewer a squirm-inducing close-up view of the utter banality and hopelessness of evil, Sundance Channel's starkly fascinating British import Appropriate Adult (Saturday, 10/9c) is like no other crime drama I've ever seen. We see events unfold from the mortified perspective of Emily Watson, already getting Oscar buzz for the upcoming War Horse, who is riveting in the title role of Janet, a civilian volunteer to the police, the "appropriate adult" called in to observe the interrogation of a 52-year-old murder suspect deemed incapable of protecting his own interests.
Fred West, the prime suspect, is played by Dominic West (The Wire, The Hour) in a transformative performance that lacks any trace of leading-man vanity. Almost Neanderthal in his repugnant brutishness, an obvious psychopath who is yet somehow capable of projecting an unvarnished charisma — call it truly animal magnetism — Fred makes quite the impression in the first round of questioning when he matter-of-factly confesses to an "accidental" choking of his own kin, then adds, "I cut her legs off, and that was ... unbearable. And I cut her head off. You're not going to take a sword to your own daughter when she sat there lookin' at you, are ya?" And that's just the curtain-raiser to a horrific catalogue of crimes committed by Fred and his horror-show wife, Rosemary.
Fred is immediately solicitous of Janet, refusing to cooperate without her presence, and any moment when they're left alone together, he shares nuggets of information that she is duty-bound not to share with the authorities. Thus compromised, Janet is drawn into his spell, repelled yet compelled to hear more in hopes of learning the full truth. "How could I understand you? You've killed people," she demands of Fred, who assures her, "You're a woman who can see beneath the surface and a woman who knows remorse when she sees it." Is she being played? She's certainly being wrecked, neglecting her kids and a partner whose own fragile mental state is tested when the family gets caught up in the sensational media circus. "I'm not your friend," she insists to Fred, and yet the inappropriateness of their relationship threatens to break her spirit. Appropriate Adult is a psychologically harrowing character study of emotional manipulation against a backdrop of utter depravity.

Long-buried crimes also figure into A&E's two-part adaptation of Stephen King's Bag of Bones (Sunday-Monday, 9/8c), which serves as a reminder that the best hauntings are the simplest. In this updating of King's 1998 romantic ghost story, a grieving widower (Pierce Brosnan) gets messages from beyond on his smart phone, his laptop, even his iPad. But the moment with the most impact is when he notices that something is rearranging the magnetized letters on his fridge door. A classic King touch: the fantastic within the ordinary.
This is a far cry from the ridiculously lurid supernatural shenanigans churning the bloody waters every week on FX's American Horror Story, with its shock-for-shock's-sake graphic overkill going so far over the top that it becomes more silly than scary. If Horror Story evokes cringes and giggles, I'm afraid Bag of Bones goes too far to the opposite extreme of the spooky spectrum and provokes mostly yawns, once it becomes overly obvious why the spirits are being so persistent. Shouldn't there be some middle ground (like in the classics of Henry James and Shirley Jackson) where the ghosts don't spell everything out? Maybe next time.
In Bones, Brosnan stands in for King (with in-jokes about Misery and his Richard Bachman alter ego), playing a best-selling novelist who retreats to a New England lake house after his beloved wife's sudden death. Creatively blocked and besieged by nightmares and visions, usually of little girls being drowned, he soon becomes a pawn in a custody battle involving a single mom (Melissa George) and the town's decrepit old Mr. Potter caricature (William Schallert, having a ball). There's a local curse afoot, which must have something to do with the mysterious fate of a sultry blues singer (Anika Noni Rose) from the '30s, because why else would our hero keep finding himself transported to the past? The answers aren't terribly surprising, nor is the pat resolution. This Bag is sadly empty of surprises.
You want surprises? Your best bet is Showtime on Sunday, where Homeland (10/9c) is nearing the end of its remarkable first season with the resolute Brody (Damian Lewis) and the unhinged Carrie (Claire Danes) on an unpredictable collision course. In the wake of last week's explosion, Carrie is more manic than we've ever seen her, as she frantically tries to piece together a timeline that might reveal Abu Nazir's plot: "We have to code it, collide it, collapse it, contain it," she babbles as her protector and overseer Saul (Mandy Patinkin) looks on in concern — but also with a grudging admiration at her passionate tenacity.
Meanwhile, Brody takes the family on a road trip to Gettysburg, on the surface a bonding exercise in Americana, but there's blood-chilling subtext as he describes the daring gallantry of Union leader Joshua Chamberlain, "doing what was necessary for a cause he believed in." The episode is titled "The Vest," which explains Brody's other purpose in getting away and preparing for his own armageddon. I can't imagine how next week's season finale will play out, but there's no way it's going to be pretty.
An hour earlier, on the increasingly preposterous Dexter (9/8c), the Miami Metro Police Department is the last to realize it's under assault from the "Wormwood" plot, while Dexter tries to flush out the Doomsday Killer by staging his own creepy tableau. Nothing, however, earns a bigger "ewwww" than Deb's latest therapy session, where the shrink hits way too close to home in assessing the unhappy lieutenant's emotional state. The episode's fiery action climax, setting up what we expect will be one last encounter between Dexter and his adversary in next week's finale, plays like a Batman cliffhanger, which isn't exactly a compliment.
There are finales of varying interest all through the weekend, starting with Election Day on Starz' understandably neglected Boss (Friday, 10/9c). ... An unexceptional running of CBS's The Amazing Race (Sunday, 8/7c) enters its last leg, and now that front-running snowboarders Andy and Tommy are out, it's anyone's game, and still kind of hard to care. ... And after searing our brains and eyes last week with those incestuous flashbacks, capped by Jimmy's bloody patricide of the Commodore, HBO's suddenly eventful Boardwalk Empire (Sunday, 9/8c) wraps its second season with (in HBO's words) "Jimmy look[ing] to make amends" as Nucky's trial looms. But will a conscience-stricken Margaret actually testify against the Nuckster?
Stay tuned after Boardwalk's finale for a one-time-only sneak preview of the pilot episode of Luck (10/9c), David Milch's much-anticipated horse-racing drama starring Dustin Hoffman that will officially premiere Jan. 29.
So what else is on this weekend? Let's narrow it down to a Top 10 highlights reel ... Did you miss Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer when CBS aired it not quite two weeks ago? Here's another chance (Saturday, 8/7c). ... ABC stages the latest debate (Saturday, 9/8c) for the remaining Republican presidential candidates in the caucus-central state of Iowa, with Diane Sawyer and George Stephanopoulos moderating. ... Maybe they'll provide some fresh material for Saturday Night Live (NBC, 11:30/10:30c), where Katy Perry is guest host and Swedish performer Robyn provides the music. (Though it's hard to imagine Katy not singing.) ... Syfy is really reaching for its seasonal tie-ins, with the Saturday night movie premiere of Snowmageddon (9/8c), all about a magic snow globe that wreaks havoc in the real world every time it's shaken. Battlestar Galactica's Michael Hogan stars, and we hope he's got a liquor supply on hand at least as good as Saul's. ... There's going to be a casualty in Storybrooke on ABC's Once Upon a Time (Sunday, 8/7c), where the fairy-tale backstory involves the Evil Queen's search for an assassin to take out Snow White. (And we all know how that turned out — or in this case, do we?) ... On Fox's The Simpsons (8/7c), Bart and Lisa project 30 years into the future — almost as old as they'd be if they aged along with the actual series — as they turn to Homer and Marge for parenting advice, which indicates they never quite grew up. ... Fox's The Cleveland Show (8:30/7:30c) pays homage to Die Hard as Cleveland imagines himself in the Bruce Willis role. ... Now that Alicia is a free agent again on CBS's The Good Wife (Sunday, 9/8c), having broken it off with Will last week, she "begins to feel the consequences of decisions in her personal life" while trying to get a guilty verdict overturned. ... CBS's CSI: Miami (10/9c) goes into Toddlers & Tiaras territory as the team investigates the murder of a contestant's mom behind the scenes of a children's beauty pageant. ... Nat Geo Wild's second annual Big Cat Week kicks off Sunday with three hour-long specials: Stalking the Mountain Lion, American Cougar and Cat Wars: Lion vs. Cheetah. Why am I suddenly missing Cougar Town again?

Objectives: Bipolar disorder is associated with elevated risk of suicide attempts and deaths. Key aims of the International Society for Bipolar Disorders Task Force on Suicide included examining the extant literature on epidemiology, neurobiology and pharmacotherapy related to suicide attempts and deaths in bipolar disorder.
Methods: Systematic review of studies from 1 January 1980 to 30 May 2014 examining suicide attempts or deaths in bipolar disorder, with a specific focus on the incidence and characterization of suicide attempts and deaths, genetic and non-genetic biological studies and pharmacotherapy studies specific to bipolar disorder. We conducted pooled, weighted analyses of suicide rates.
Results: The pooled suicide rate in bipolar disorder is 164 per 100,000 person-years (95% confidence interval = [5, 324]). Sex-specific data on suicide rates identified a 1.7:1 ratio in men compared to women. People with bipolar disorder account for 3.4-14% of all suicide deaths, with self-poisoning and hanging being the most common methods. Epidemiological studies report that 23-26% of people with bipolar disorder attempt suicide, with higher rates in clinical samples. There are numerous genetic associations with suicide attempts and deaths in bipolar disorder, but few replication studies. Data on treatment with lithium or anticonvulsants are strongly suggestive for prevention of suicide attempts and deaths, but additional data are required before relative anti-suicide effects can be confirmed. There were limited data on potential anti-suicide effects of treatment with antipsychotics or antidepressants.
Conclusion: This analysis identified a lower estimated suicide rate in bipolar disorder than what was previously published. Understanding the overall risk of suicide deaths and attempts, and the most common methods, are important building blocks to greater awareness and improved interventions for suicide prevention in bipolar disorder. Replication of genetic findings and stronger prospective data on treatment options are required before more decisive conclusions can be made regarding the neurobiology and specific treatment of suicide risk in bipolar disorder.
Keywords: Bipolar disorder; neurobiology; pharmacotherapy; prevalence; suicide or suicide attempts.

This Must Be The Place: Critical Design and Urban Futurity. Tomorrows exhibition, Onassis Cultural Centre. 2018.
Co-authored with Tobias Revell, this catalogue essay defines speculative and critical design as a practice which can disrupt established and normative narratives around urban futures. The Tomorrows exhibition, curated by Daphne Dragona and Panos Dragonas, unfolded the multiple aspects the future presents today through the works of artists, architects, and designers.
By 2050, half the world’s population will live in cities — Ancient Proverb
You have, surely, seen or heard the above statement before—in newspaper articles, possibly, or government documents; perhaps as wall-text at an art exhibition; perhaps whispered into your ear by an anonymous commuter.
Words summon action. Describing a near-future in which half of the global populace will inevitably—definitely!—live in cities is not a value-neutral offering but an invocation to act. This proverb drives policy development for the United Nations, forms the opening gambit of a great many foresight reports and acts as the backbone of the property development industry. It is a compelling pitch for businesses and governments looking to shore up certainty in an age of instability and volatility, framing half the world’s population as a captive audience for policy, surveillance and sales.
Positioning the city as the nexus of mass human experience for the foreseeable future sets up a land-grab for who gets to define what these cities will look like. And what is being imagined often seems to be terribly similar, both in terms of what these cities look like, how they are controlled and what forms of technological systems will thread through them. It is these apparently inescapable future-metropolitan visions that critical approaches to design, architecture and urbanism seek to challenge.
Where are the alternatives to these Stepford Wife renderings of the coming urban environment? Why isn’t the inevitability or the homogeneity of these visions being questioned? Is this truly what citizens want? The city has always been a site of command and control, a space where ardent ideology can be materialized and tested. Speculative and critical perspectives, therefore, seek to shatter and pluralize these visions, introducing alternatives that broaden the possibility space of what the city is, and challenge the hegemony of dominant stifling, seemingly inevitable imaginaries.

NASA Recycles 98% Of Astronauts Urine, Sweat In Space To Drinking Water
In a significant milestone, NASA said it was able to recycle about 98 percent of urine and sweat from astronauts aboard the International Space Station into drinking water — an advance that can help it in upcoming missions to the Moon, Mars, and beyond.
The feat was achieved by the space station’s Environmental Control and Life Support System (ECLSS) — a combination of hardware that includes a water recovery system.
This system collects wastewater and sends it to the water processor assembly (WPA), which produces drinkable water. One specialized component uses advanced dehumidifiers to capture moisture released into the cabin air from crew breath and sweat.
Another subsystem, the urine processor assembly (UPA), recovers water from urine using vacuum distillation. Distillation produces water and a urine brine that still contains some reclaimable water. Using a brine processor assembly (BPA) developed to extract this remaining wastewater, the astronauts achieved the 98 percent water recovery goal, which was previously “between 93 and 94 percent”.
“This is a very important step forward in the evolution of life support systems,” said Christopher Brown, part of the team at Johnson Space Center that manages the space station’s life support system.
“Let’s say you collect 100 pounds of water on the station. You lose two pounds of that and the other 98 percent just keeps going around and around. Keeping that running is a pretty awesome achievement,” Brown added.
The BPA takes the brine produced by the UPA and runs it through a special membrane technology, then blows warm, dry air over the brine to evaporate the water. That process creates humid air, which, just like crew breath and perspiration, is collected by the station’s water collection systems.
All the collected water is treated by the WPA. It first uses a series of specialized filters, then a catalytic reactor that breaks down any trace contaminants that remain. Sensors check the water purity and unacceptable water is reprocessed.
The system also adds iodine to the acceptable water to prevent microbial growth and stores it, ready for the crew to use. Each crew member needs about a gallon of water per day for consumption, food preparation, and hygiene such as brushing teeth.
The team acknowledged that the idea of drinking recycled urine might make some people squeamish. But they stress that the end result is far superior to what municipal water systems produce on the ground.
“The processing is fundamentally similar to some terrestrial water distribution systems, just done in microgravity,” said Jill Williamson, ECLSS water subsystems manager.
“The crew is not drinking urine; they are drinking water that has been reclaimed, filtered, and cleaned such that it is cleaner than what we drink here on Earth,” Williamson added.

The Cleveland Browns meet the Cincinnati Bengals for the second time this season when the two sides square off on Sunday. Cleveland's secondary had their first matchup (in Week 8) circled on the calendar, but unfortunately Bengals wideout Ja'Marr Chase did not play because of an injury.
Chase spent the summer throwing some major shade at the Browns' defensive backs. And Browns' safety John Johnson III wants some revenge.
Johnson hyped up the Bengals' trash talk on Wednesday, making reference to Chase's comments from this summer. He said the trash talk is "still floating around the building." Johnson, Denzel Ward and their defensive back counterparts haven't forgotten.
Here's a clip of Chase's comments this summer. He's one of the best wide receivers in football, but the Browns have some extra motivation to shut him down in Week 14.

Paintings by Shanel Kerekes
August 5-September 17, 2022
Opening Reception and First Friday
August 5, 6-8pm
September 2, noon-8pm
Discussion w/ Curator Julio Flores
September 17, 2pm
Link to an auditory embodiment of
the exhibition: tinyurl.com/shanelk
Shanel Kerekes is a painter from Buffalo, New York. As a graduate of Villa Maria College, she majored in Integrated Arts and obtained a BFA degree in 2019. Born in Buffalo, New York in 1997, the practice of painting was introduced to the artist as a child by her grandfather, who often created portraits as a leisurely activity. Kerekes gave painting a chance, and it quickly turned into a passion. She became inspired by the work of contemporary artist Marina Abramovic, Kiki Smith, and surrealist painter Salvador Dali. Photorealism is the style that she continuously aspires to achieve in her work.
Kerekes was exposed to a culturally diverse environment early in life, which later instilled a fascination with individuality, pre established societal standards, and the ever-changing dynamic between the two. These interests have influenced their desire to create mixed media artwork. As a biracial woman in today’s world, Kerekes uses the tribulations that they are confronted with to build a visual representation of the many obstacles that women and minorities may face. These may include objectification, discrimination, sexualization, and exploitation.
Within my mind, there is a constant search for the reason why societal standards exist, and how they are implemented by the masses. Especially when they pertain to one’s gender. I find myself striving to build an answer of my own by analyzing my own experiences and surroundings. My work is largely an attempt to question common norms and bring attention to how they affect individuals based on their unique characteristics. I often aspire to present audiences with the trials and tribulations of the female experience. Using stereotypical feminine imagery in combination with my photography as references, I attempt to challenge the established perceptions of gender and power.
Often, my content aims toward the negative aspects of what it is to be a woman and to bring awareness to what it may take to reside as one in a critical society. The never-ending cycle of women’s rights being reinstated and overturned is a constant readjustment of life itself. This comes with intense frustration and hardship for many. In addition, we are constantly faced with unwanted objectification, exploitation, and are oversexualized at inappropriate times. Although, I also strive to depict the beautiful aspects of womanhood by celebrating the divine feminine energy that resides within every woman. This exact duality is what inspired my artistic catharsis, leading to the creation of this body of work. An antithesis of life.
