A motion before the Dáil this evening will acknowledge the harm caused by historical criminal laws.
THE GOVERNMENT IS set to apologise to men who were convicted of engaging in consensual same-sex activity prior to the decriminalisation of homosexuality in 1993.
A Labour Party motion on the issue, tabled by Senator Ged Nash, will receive all-party support in the Dáil today. Taoiseach Leo Varadkar is expected to officially apologise to the gay men who were convicted under historical legislation.
The motion will call on the Houses of the Oireachtas to acknowledge the laws were improperly discriminatory and an infringement of personal privacy, that they caused harm to those affected and that they had a “significant chilling effect” on progress towards equality for the LGBT community.
It will also acknowledge the “hurt and the harm caused” to those who were deterred by the laws from being open and honest about their identity with their family and in society.
Last week, Nash said the motion “represents an important reckoning with our past”.
“The State inherited draconian laws we applied over many decades to persecute and prosecute gay men merely for being who they were. It took until 1993 for Irish law makers to show the moral courage to banish these cruel, antiquated and inhumane laws from our statute books.
Apart altogether from those who were convicted of offences that no longer exist, the chilling effect of having such harsh and discriminatory laws in place had a negative impact on progress towards equality for the LGBTI community.
Incalculable harm and hurt was caused to countless thousands of citizens of this Republic who were deterred by those laws from being open and honest about their identity with themselves, their family and with society.
“This prevented citizens from engaging fully in civic and political life and deprived society of their full contribution. They were badly wronged by this country, and they and their families are owed an apology.”
The Dáil will hear the motion at 6pm today.

According to a report on the Jakarta Globe, internet users have experienced slow connections and sporadic outages for more than a week.
"Our technicians have been trying to prevent cyber attacks from other countries," a technician from Yatanarpon Teleport said. “We still do not know whether access will be good on the election day."
It’s thought that Burma's internet system has been overwhelmed by a flood of incoming messages known as a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack.
US-based IT security firm Arbor Networks said the main state-owned ISP Myanmar Post and Telecommunications "suffered a large, sustained DDoS attack disrupting most network traffic in and out of the country."
The attack was said to be "several hundred times" more than enough to overwhelm the country's terrestrial and satellite links.
A section of users believe authorities are intentionally slowing services ahead of Sunday's vote, the first in 20 years in Burma.
"Although they said the connection has been attacked, it's hard to believe. I think they have been doing it intentionally for the election day to delay news reaching the international community," said a 25-year-old university student in the main city, Rangoon.

Screening of Bovine Mastitis in Lactating Dairy Cows in and around Debra TSIGE Town, North Ethiopia
Received Date: Mar 28, 2017 / Accepted Date: Oct 17, 2017 / Published Date: Oct 20, 2017
Mastitis is an inflammation of the mammary gland caused by pathogenic microorganism, occurs in all mammalian species but particularly important in dairy cattle. A cross sectional study design was conducted from June 2015 to September 2015 to screening bovine mastitis in randomly selected dairy farms in and around D/Tsige town. About 384 (118 cross, 153 Exotic, 113 local breed) of lactating cows were included in the study. Prevalence of the clinical mastitis was determined through examination of abnormalities of milk and udder of cows; and California mastitis test to diagnose sub-clinical mastitis. The overall prevalence of clinical mastitis was 9.64% and 9.63% at cow and quarter level respectively. Of the 1536 quarters examined, prevalence of clinical mastitis, sub clinical mastitis and blind quarters (non-functional teats) were found to be 9.63%, 33.85% and 1.2%, respectively. On cow basis, out of 384 lactating cows, 167 (43.49%) cows had abnormalities in their udder, teats and milk as evidence of clinical mastitis. The prevalence of mastitis at cow level was higher in exotic breeds (39.8%) and those were found in late lactation stage (42.2%), parity number was found to be statistically significant (P<0.05). In the present study, there was high prevalence of sub clinical mastitis that result losing of milk production and cause economic lose to the dairy farm. In view of this, the routine test of dairy cows, and preventive and control measures are recommended to reduce the prevalence of clinical and sub clinical mastitis in dairy farms in and around D/Tsige town.

The Lok Sabha on Monday passed the Epidemic Diseases (Amendment) Bill, 2020, after Rajya Sabha had passed it on Saturday. Health Minister Harsh Vardhan called this bill 'empowering' and said that states could make additions to the act. However, Congress member Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury that the bill has been brought in in a haste and certain areas remain a cause for concern.
Nevertheless, what does the Epidemic Diseases (Amendment) Bill, 2020 entail?
According to the bill, individuals who are found attacking healthcare workers in the frontline of the war against coronavirus or any other situation akin to the pandemic could be jailed for up to seven years. The bill aims to ensure that there would be zero-tolerance to any form of violence against healthcare personnel and damage to property.
Such offences or abetment of such violence would be punishable with imprisonment for a term of three months to five years and a fine of Rs 50,000 to Rs 2 lakh. In case of grievous injury, the offender would be handed a term of six months to seven years and a fine of Rs 1-5 lakh.
There is also a provision in the bill that says that the offender would be presumed guilty unless proved otherwise. Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury pointed out that this was in complete deviation from the country's criminal law.
The government had brought the ordinance to amend the Epidemic Diseases Act, 1897 on April 22. With Lok Sabha's nod, the amendment is soon to take place.
"The ordinance has given a very strong message to perpetrators of violence against medical professionals and health workers during the pandemic. We have all noticed that there has been a dramatic decline in the incidents of violence against health workers all over the country," said Harsh Vardhan.
"Everyone was feeling sad and bad. That was the time the government thought of taking a proactive step. When the government reviewed, it found there were minimal laws and powers in some states. There was a need to have a central law to put in place a prohibitory mechanism to stop such activities," he added.

Despite the turmoil from years past, Croatia is a very beautiful country. The coastal town in Pula is full of thriving businesses, electric nightlife, and ancient Roman Architecture.
Getting to Pula
There are several airlines that travel from the US (NYC) to Pula. Currently United Airlines, Delta, American Airlines, Jet Blue, Lufthansa, KLM, Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines, Eurowings, Swiss Airlines, British Airways and Iberia Airlines. From my search I saw anywhere from 1-4 stops and 17 hour flight time with layover to 43 hours flying from New York City airports. Make sure to do your homework because flight times can vary greatly.
Where to stay
As a major European tourist destination, there are many choices for places to stay. Of course I would recommend any one of our beautiful vacation rental properties found on VRguest.com. There are plenty of other options ranging from low-key hostels to luxury hotels.
Once you’re here
Now that you’re here it’s time to take in the sights. The major tourist attraction here besides the beaches is the Roman-style amphitheater that dominates the landscape. The Pula Arena was built from 27 BC- 68 AD, and it is the best preserved ancient monument in Croatia. The Arena is the only remaining Roman amphitheater to have four side towers and with all three Roman architectural orders entirely preserved. Getting inside to view the arena is fairly inexpensive, it starts at about $8 a ticket for general admission. You can also schedule a walking tour of the city which includes the arena and a few other local attractions.
The Arch of the Sergii is another popular sight to see. It is an Ancient Roman Triumphal Arch that was built in 29-27 BC to commemorate the three brothers of the Sergii Family. The Sergii’s were a powerful family of officials in the colony and retained their power for hundreds of years.
Some of the more modern attractions are the Austro-Hungarian Fortresses. There are 40 fortresses in Pula and one of the most well reserved is the Punta Christo Fortress. It was built in four phases from 1836-1883 and is over 100,000 square feet in size with over 270 different spaces. It is the largest and the strongest modern armored fortress of it’s kind in the area. The Fortress was abandoned for some time but is now occupied during the summer months for various cultural programs, concerts, festivals, jazz nights, exhibitions, performances and workshops.Temple of Augustus is in the heart of the city’s main square and central meeting point for the people, a space for public gatherings, political acts, religious practices, and the core of city life. It was built for first Roman emperor Augustus however the exact date of it’s construction is unknown, best guess puts it between 27 BC and 14 AD. It was the gathering place for any important events that took place over the last 2000 years. There is an inscription on the top that states that the temple was dedicated to “the goddess Roma and the Emperor Augustus, son of divine Caesar, the father of the homeland”. Next to the Temple is the Communal Palace. As the city prospered there was a need for a town hall so this building was constructed. it was finished by 1296 but has seen many reconstructions over the last 800 years.Built from 1630-1633, the Pula Kastel was constructed to protect the Pula’s harbor as well as the rest of the upper Adriatic Sea. it currently holds the Historical Museum of Istria which has more than 75000 objects within 15 collections of cultural, historical, political, military importance. It is known for hosting many gatherings, concerts, shows and movies, mostly during the summer months.
Thanks to Samuel and Audrey for this great video of things to do in Pula.

|Administrative divisions of the United States|
|Cities, towns and villages
In the United States, a county is a geographic subdivision of a state (or federal territory), usually assigned some governmental authority. The term "county" is used in 48 of the 50 states; Louisiana is divided into parishes and Alaska into boroughs. Parishes and boroughs are called "county-equivalents" by the U.S. federal government, as are certain independent cities which are not parts of counties. There are 3,033 organized county or county-equivalent governments in the United States according to 2007 Census of Governments.
The powers of counties arise from state law and vary widely. In some states including Connecticut and Rhode Island, counties are geographic entities, but not governmental jurisdictions. At the other extreme, Maryland counties and the county-equivalent City of Baltimore handle almost all services, including public education, although the state retains an active oversight authority with many of these services.
The average number of counties per state is 62. The state with the most counties is Texas with 254; while the state with fewest is Delaware with three. As of the 2000 Census, the average county population was about 100,000. The most populous county is Los Angeles County, California, with an estimated population of 9,880,000 (2009 Census estimate), greater than all but eight U.S. states. The least populous is Loving County, Texas, with 82 residents as of 2010.
The largest county or county-equivalent is the Unorganized Borough, Alaska, which is more than 330,000 square miles (850,000 km2). The five largest counties or county-equivalents are also all in Alaska; elsewhere the largest by land area is San Bernardino County, California, which is more than 20,000 square miles (52,000 km2). The smallest county by land area is Kalawao County, Hawaii, which is 13 square miles (34 km2).
Independent cities such as Baltimore are independent of counties. They differ from consolidated city–counties such as Jacksonville, Florida, New Orleans, Louisiana, Indianapolis, Indiana and San Francisco, California, where a city and county have been merged into one unified jurisdiction. A consolidated city-county is simultaneously a city, which is a municipal corporation (municipality), and a county, which is an administrative division of a state, having the powers and responsibilities of both types of entities.
The site of a county's administration, and often the county courthouse, is called the county seat ("parish seat" or "borough seat" in Louisiana or Alaska). Several Northeastern counties officially use the term "shire town" for the county seat.
Counties were among the earliest units of local government established in the Thirteen Colonies that would become the United States. Virginia created the first counties in order to ease the administrative workload in Jamestown. The House of Burgesses divided the colony first into four "incorporations" in 1617 and finally into eight shires (or counties) in 1634: James City, Henrico, Charles City, Charles River, Warrosquyoake, Accomac, Elizabeth City, and Warwick River. America's oldest intact county court records can be found at Eastville, Virginia, in Northampton (originally Accomac) County, dating to 1632. Maryland established its first county, St. Mary's, in 1637, and Massachusetts followed in 1643. Pennsylvania and New York delegated significant power and responsibility from state government to county governments, and thereby established a pattern for most of the United States, although counties remained relatively weak in New England.
Common sources of county names are names of people, geographic features, places in other states or countries, Native American tribes, and animals. Quite a few counties bear names of French or Spanish origin.
Counties are most often named for people, often political figures or early settlers, with over 2,100 of the 3,140 total so named. The most common county name, with 31, is Washington County, for America's first president, George Washington. Up until 1871, there was a Washington County within the District of Columbia, but it was dissolved by the District of Columbia Organic Act. Jefferson County, for Thomas Jefferson, is next with 27. The most recent president to have a county named for him was Warren G. Harding, reflecting the slowing rate of county creation since New Mexico and Arizona became states in 1912. The most common names for counties named after non-presidents are Franklin (25), Clay (18), and Montgomery (18).
After people, the next most common source of county names are geographic features and locations, with some counties even being named after counties in other states, or for places in countries such as the United Kingdom. The most common geographic county name is Lake. Native American tribes and animals lend their names to some counties. Quite a few counties bear names of French or Spanish origin, such as Marquette County being named after French missionary Father Jacques Marquette.
In many states, the board in charge of a county holds powers that transcend all three traditional branches of government. It has the legislative power to enact ordinances for the county; it has the executive power to oversee the executive operations of county government; and it has quasi-judicial power with regard to certain limited matters (like hearing appeals from the planning commission if one exists).
As for the day-to-day operations of the county government, they are sometimes overseen by a county manager or chief administrative officer who reports to the board, the mayor, or both.
In some states, the county technically has a plural executive in that several important officials are elected separately from the board of commissioners or supervisors (implying they cannot be fired by the board). This can create tension if such officials then disagree on how to best carry out their respective functions.
The power of county governments varies widely from state to state, as does the relationship between counties and incorporated cities. The government of the county usually resides in a municipality called the county seat. However, some counties may have multiple seats or no seat. In some small counties with no incorporated municipalities, a large settlement may serve as the county seat.
In New England, counties function at most as judicial court districts and sheriff's departments (presently, in Connecticut only as judicial court districts - and in Rhode Island, they have lost both those functions and all others), and most of the governmental authority below the state level is in the hands of towns and cities. In several of Maine's sparsely populated counties, small towns rely on the county for law enforcement, and in New Hampshire several social programs are administered at the state level. In some New England states, such as in Connecticut, parts of Massachusetts, and Rhode Island, counties are now only geographic designations, and they do not have any governmental powers. All government is either done at the state level or at the municipal level. In Connecticut and parts of Massachusetts, regional councils have been established to partially fill the void left behind by the abolished county governments. The regional councils' authority is much more limited compared with a county government—the regional councils have no taxing authority or authority to issue permits; the aforementioned powers are delegated to the town governments. However, the regional councils do have authority over infrastructure and land use planning, distribution of state and federal funds for infrastructure projects, emergency preparedness, and limited law enforcement duties.
In the Mid-Atlantic and Midwest, counties typically provide, at a minimum, courts, public utilities, libraries, hospitals, public health services, parks, roads, law enforcement, and jails. There is usually a county registrar, recorder, or clerk (the exact title varies) who collects vital statistics, holds elections (sometimes in coordination with a separate elections office or commission), and prepares or processes certificates of births, deaths, marriages, and dissolutions (divorce decrees). The county recorder normally maintains the official record of all real estate transactions. Other key county officials include the coroner/medical examiner, treasurer, assessor, auditor, controller, and district attorney.
In most states, the county sheriff is the chief law enforcement officer in the county. However, except in major emergencies where clear chains of command are essential, the county sheriff normally does not directly control the police departments of city governments, but merely cooperates with them (e.g., under mutual aid pacts). Thus, the most common interaction between county and city law enforcement personnel is when city police officers deliver suspects to sheriff's deputies for detention or incarceration in the county jail.
In virtually all U.S. states, the state courts and local law enforcement are organized and implemented along county boundaries, but nearly all of the substantive and procedural law adjudicated in state trial courts originates from the state legislature and state appellate courts. In other words, most criminal defendants are prosecuted for violations of state law, not local ordinances, and if they, the district attorney, or police seek reforms to the criminal justice system, they will usually have to direct their efforts towards the state legislature rather than the county (which merely implements state law). A typical criminal defendant will be arraigned and subsequently indicted or held over for trial before a trial court in and for a particular county where the crime occurred, kept in the county jail (if he is not granted bail or cannot make bail), prosecuted by the county's district attorney, and tried before a jury selected from that county. But long-term incarceration is rarely a county responsibility, execution of capital punishment is never a county responsibility, and the state's responses to prisoners' appeals is the responsibility of the state attorney general, who has to defend before the state appellate courts the prosecutions conducted by locally-elected district attorneys in the name of the state. Furthermore, county-level trial court judges are officers of the judicial branch of the state government rather than county governments.
In many states, the county controls all unincorporated lands within its boundaries. In states with a township tier, unincorporated land is controlled by the townships. Residents of unincorporated land who are dissatisfied with county-level or township-level resource allocation decisions can attempt to vote to incorporate as a city, town, or village.
A few counties directly provide public transportation themselves, usually in the form of a simple bus system. However, in most counties, public transportation is provided by one of the following: a special district that is coterminous with the county (but exists separately from the county government), a multi-county regional transit authority, or a state agency.
In western and southern states, more populated counties provide many facilities, such as airports, convention centers, museums, recreation centers, beaches, harbors, zoos, clinics, law libraries, and public housing. They provide services such as child and family services, elder services, mental health services, welfare services, veterans assistance services, animal control, probation supervision, historic preservation, food safety regulation, and environmental health services. They have many additional officials like public defenders, arts commissioners, human rights commissioners, and planning commissioners. Finally, there may also be a county fire department and even a county police department (as distinguished from fire and police departments operated by individual cities, special districts, or the state government). For example, Albemarle County, Virginia, and its county seat, the city of Charlottesville, each have their own police departments. (A separate county sheriff's department is responsible for security of the county courts and administration of the county jail.)
Maryland, in particular, vests its counties with broad powers, including educational responsibilities (which are normally handled in all other states by school districts specific to particular cities, towns, or regions).
There are on average 62.8 counties per state, and median of 62 counties per state as well (including DC), with New York and its 62 counties representing the median for the U.S. (50% of the US states above and below New York's 62 county number). The state with the fewest counties is Delaware (3), though it is unique among the United States in that each Delaware county is divided into units called "hundreds". The state with the most is Texas (254).
Southern and Midwestern states generally tend to have more counties than Western or Northeastern states, as many Northeastern states are not large enough in area to warrant a large number of counties, and many Western states were sparsely populated when counties were created. Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island have abolished county governments in whole or in part, though the former county territories may be observed in the three states' state-level administrative districts.
|Number of Counties||State||Average County Population Approximately|
|134||Virginia (95 counties and 39 cities),||60,422|
|115||Missouri (114 counties and one city)||52,267|
|24||Maryland (23 counties and one city)||242,845|
|17||Nevada (16 counties and one city)||160,195|
|1||District of Columbia||617,996|
At the 2000 U.S. Census, the median land area of the 3,077 U.S. counties was 622 sq mi (1,610 km2), which is two-thirds of the median land area of a ceremonial county of England, and a little more than a quarter of the median land area of a French département. However, this figure does not account for the differences among the United States counties themselves; counties in the western United States have a much larger mean land area than those in the eastern United States. For example, the median land area of counties in Georgia is 343 sq mi (890 km2), whereas in Utah it is 2,427 sq mi (6,290 km2).
The largest county equivalent by (total) area is Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area, Alaska, at 147,843 square miles (382,910 km2), while the largest actual county is San Bernardino County, California, in southern California, which includes the Mojave Desert, at 20,105 square miles (52,070 km2) in area. The second-largest county is Coconino County, Arizona, in the north-central part of the state, which includes the Grand Canyon National Park. The smallest county equivalent is the independent city of Falls Church, Virginia, at 2.2 square miles (5.7 km2) in area, while the smallest actual county is Kalawao County, Hawaii, at 13 square miles (34 km2) in land area.
At the 2000 U.S. Census, 16.7% of U.S. counties had more than 100,000 inhabitants. This reflects the essentially rural nature of U.S. counties, whose grid was designed in the 19th century in a country still largely rural, and marginally affected by urbanization. Today, the vast majority of people in the United States are concentrated in a relatively small number of counties. The most populous county is Los Angeles County, California, with 9,818,605 inhabitants as of 2010, and the least populous county is Loving County, Texas, with 82 inhabitants as of 2010.
The most densely populated county (or county equivalent) is New York County, New York (coextensive with the Borough of Manhattan and consisting of Manhattan Island; Marble Hill, a neighborhood originally on the island but now physically attached to The Bronx; and several small adjacent islands), with 66,940 people per square mile (25,846 per km², or 38.691 square meters per person) as of 2000, and the least densely populated county equivalent is Lake and Peninsula Borough, Alaska, with 0.0767 people per square mile (0.0296 per km², or 33.768 km² per person) as of 2000. The least densely populated county equivalent is Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area, Alaska, with 0.0449 per square mile (0.0173 per km², or 57.683 km² per person) as of 2000.
The term county equivalents includes three additional types of administrative divisions which are different from the type of county found in most states:
In general, cities, towns, and other municipal governments almost always occupy a smaller area than the county which contains them, and they reside only in that county (that is, they are prohibited from annexing territory in more than one county). However, there are exceptions:
^ A: The Unorganized Borough, Alaska formed by the Borough Act of 1961 is a legal entity, run by the Alaska state government as an extension of State government, it and the independently incorporated Unified, Home Rule, First Class and Second Class boroughs roughly correspond to parishes in Louisiana and to counties in the other 48 states.
^ B: These 11 statistical areas are used solely by the United States Census Bureau to tabulate population and other census statistics within the Unorganized Borough; they have no legal basis in Alaska state or federal law other than for electoral representation and federal financial assistance purposes.

This year's venture-fueled layoffs
A (second) round of layoffs last month at buy now, pay later company Klarna is the latest in a seemingly endless string of tech sector pink slips issued this year. But while companies have blamed the market and potential recession talk, this narrative obscures that many zealously overhired during the pandemic’s boom, without regard for the consequences.
Why it matters: After nearly two years of enjoying the upper hand of a booming jobs market, tech workers are now losing their jobs. The employment environment is worsening — even for big tech companies as they, too, rein in headcount.
The big picture: Late last year, within a few months of the stock market beginning to turn, startups began to make cuts to their workforces.
- At least 60,000 workers have been laid off in 2022 just from privately held tech startups in the U.S., based on data collected by Layoffs.fyi (which is likely undercounting, as not all companies publicly disclose exact job cuts).
Zooming in: Several ingredients went into baking this cake, which is now crumbling.
- Capital overflow: 2021 was a record year for venture deals, reaching $330 billion invested just in the U.S. Capital was also cheap and easily available.
- Pandemic boom: The 2020-21 period saw consumers and businesses spending on a variety of goods and services at surprisingly high levels — and fueled startups’ revenues. Many assumed this level of demand was the new normal.
- "Blitzscaling:" The pandemic became a ripe environment for using the tactic, which entails spending tons of capital inefficiently to win a market during times of uncertainty. As blitzscaling champion and Greylock partner Reid Hoffman tells Axios in a statement: "Risk is an integral part of blitzscaling.... Unfortunately, taking risks can lead to negative consequences ... including undertaking a painful round of layoffs."
- Not predicting a downturn: While some have been paranoid about an impending downturn for years (and managed their companies accordingly), many believed that pandemic-era trends would outlast COVID-19.
Between the lines: To FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried, many VCs conflate headcount growth with business growth, often pushing companies to increase the former as a manifestation of the latter.
- "We had ~200 employees, [VCs] were expecting ~2,000," he tweeted in June, speaking about his conversations with investors last year. "We told them additional employees added too quickly were net negative, and they could take it or leave it."
What they’re saying: "For management teams, when they see their competitors add with reckless abandon … it’s hard not to as well," CapitalG general partner Gene Frantz tells Axios, addressing the last couple of years.
- And at the same time, "a lot of board members tend to be less thoughtful cheerleaders as opposed to a counterbalance to management," he adds.
Yes, but: Some VCs argue that the real goal is getting to big exits with the smallest headcount and capital.
- "The dream is not get billion-dollar companies; the dream is get really successful with a very small number of people," says Felicis Ventures managing partner Aydin Senkut.
- "It was never our aim for people to have tons of capital so they can go and hire more people, or worse, spend it on Google or Facebook ads," he adds.
The bottom line: Some of startupland’s worst instincts created this mess.

The depression and anxiety experienced by many women after a miscarriage can continue for years, even after the birth of a healthy child, according to a study led by University of Rochester Medical Center researchers and published online today by the British Journal of Psychiatry.
"Our study clearly shows that the birth of a healthy baby does not resolve the mental health problems that many women experience after a miscarriage or stillbirth," said Emma Robertson Blackmore, Ph.D., assistant professor of Psychiatry at the Medical Center and the lead researcher. "This finding is important because, when assessing if a women is at risk of antenatal or postnatal depression, previous pregnancy loss is usually not taken into account in the same way as other risk factors such as a family history of depression, stressful life events or a lack of social support."
"We know that maternal depression can have adverse impacts on children and families," Robertson Blackmore said. "If we offer targeted support during pregnancy to women who have previously lost a baby, we may be able to improve health outcomes for both the women and their children."
Pregnancy loss by miscarriage or stillbirth affects more than an estimated one million women in the United States annually. Between 50 and 80 percent of women who experience pregnancy loss become pregnant again.
The researchers studied 13,133 pregnant women in the United Kingdom who were taking part in a long-term study known as the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children. The women were asked to report the number of previous miscarriages and stillbirths they had experienced. They were assessed for symptoms of depression and anxiety twice during their pregnancy and four times after giving birth, at 8 weeks, 8 months, 21 months and 33 months. The majority of women reported no miscarriages. But 2,823 women, or 21 percent, reported having one or more previous miscarriages, while 108 reported having one previous stillbirth and three women had two previous stillbirths.
"We found no evidence that affective symptoms associated with previous prenatal loss resolve with the birth of a healthy child. Rather, previous prenatal loss showed a persisting prediction of depressive and anxiety symptoms well after what would conventionally be defined as the postnatal period," the researchers concluded.
Of the women who had one miscarriage or stillbirth before giving birth to a healthy child, for example, almost 13 percent still had symptoms of depression 33 months after the birth. Of those with two previous losses, almost 19 percent had symptoms of depression 33 months after the birth of a healthy child.
Prenatal loss is not routinely considered a risk factor for antenatal or postpartum depression in the same way as, for instance, personal or family history of depression, exposure to stressful life events or lack of social support, according to the study. Routinely assessing loss history would be valuable as a predictor of current and postpartum risk and as a possible marker for intervention, the researcher.
"Given the adverse outcomes of persistent maternal depression on both child and family outcomes, early recognition of symptoms can lead to preventive interventions to reduce the burden of illness, provide coping strategies to reduce anxiety and depression and promote healthy adjustment of the mother, family and child," the researchers stated.
In addition to Robertson Blackmore, the authors of the study include: Denise Côté-Arsenault, Ph.D., associate professor at the University of Rochester School of Nursing; Wan Tang, Ph.D., research assistant professor of Biostatistics, and Thomas G. O'Connor, Ph.D., professor of Psychiatry, both of the Medical Center; Vivette Glover, Ph.D., professor of Perinatal Psychobiology at the Imperial College School of Medicine, London, United Kingdom; and Jonathan Evans, Ph.D., consultant senior lecturer in Psychiatry, and Jean Golding, Ph.D., emeritus professor of Pediatrics and Perinatal Epidemiology, both of University of Bristol, United Kingdom.

Sure, says mom Claudia Gutierrez (who owns Doggie Style, the pet-store chain), she helps run the place, but the shelter was Ava’s idea, and co-founder helms the pet-education program for adoptive owners. Their do-gooding is largely funded by the colorful pet store downstairs so if you’ve already got a dog, go buy him a treat and help a puppy out.

"Not acceptable" that was the verdict of forward James Henry as the U's lost to Walsall on Saturday.
Last season's top scorer was again on the scoresheet but it wasn't enough as the U's lost 2-1, leaving Henry to tell iFollow
"It’s not acceptable. We can’t keep looking to other people to help us out. It is down to the 18 of us picked on a Saturday, and we’re not doing it at the moment.
“We have to get it right, plain and simple. Everyone’s job is on the line; family life, everything. And the supporters of course: they don’t want to come here every week and watch us lose. So we all have to pull in the right direction to get us out of this mess.”
“It’s not early days any more, no. What are we nine games in? That’s not the early days of the seaosn and we have to stop thinking like that. We are in a dogfight and the top boys are gone, so we are fully in to the season now but we have no excuses and will put it right. "
United now need to switch their attention to the Carabao Cup when they welcome MAnchester City on Tuesday night.
"Tuesday night is an exciting one for everyone" James said "especially the fans and hopefully we play well, which is important to take into the next game, and the fans get to enjoy a brilliant night of football.”
Join us on Tuesday when we want a 'Sea of Yellow' to welcome the team. Put on your yellow shirt and get behind the U's

President Nana Addo Danqua Akufo-Ado has mobilized the private sector to lead the country’s economic recovery process.
In a breakfast meeting with industrialists and businessmen in Accra on Monday, the president said the private sector was the sure bet to revive the economy, which is currently going through financial challenges.
The call comes amid pressure from the government to formally negotiate with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for an aid package to rescue the country’s economy, which has been hit hard by the Covid-19 epidemic, inflation and currency devaluation.
President Akufo-Ado told the meeting that the private sector was essential to play a focal role in the country’s economic transformation because other countries who are doing well have found their current state of development only on the wings of the private sector.
“We can’t do anything serious if we are not guided by history and example,” he said, referring to the development of four ‘Asian Tigers’ – South Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong and Taiwan – where private capital has pushed rapid economic growth and Development of the nation.
The President noted that rural, agrarian primary manufacturing and exporting countries that have transformed themselves from low productive economies to high economies are “countries where the private sector has been an influential force in their economic growth and development.”
“Japan, Korea, Asian Tiger are all names that have now become part of the common vocabulary. Hyundai, Toyota, the names of all the people who founded these initiatives that have now become global entities… these are the examples that have always inspired me, my career as a politician.
“The private sector of our economy will be the main vehicle of social and economic transformation that we are all looking for,” he stressed.
However, President Akufo-Ado agreed that private sector development was a difficult challenge for sustainable government, but stressed that it was essential to identify areas where the government and the private sector could profitably achieve sustainable growth and development in the country.
He said the morning meeting focused on the importance and central role of the private sector in the country’s economic growth, with the aim of seeking and exchanging views with private sector players on Ghana’s policy guidelines and investment climate.
He said the government follows and initiates policies, interventions and incentives and creates dialogue that will enable private sector players, especially the pharmaceutical, manufacturing, logistics, aviation and light manufacturing industries, to be more effective. Economic transformation of the country is on the agenda.
Commerce and Industry Minister Alan Quado also told the Kiermanten meeting that the government’s commitment to building a strong partnership with the private sector is intact.
He added that countries like China, which have maintained economic progress, have achieved their prosperity through private sector-led growth.

When they asked me to take their family portraits so they could use some of the photos for their son's first birthday party, themed 'The Wild One', how could I say no? Their baby boy, who just turned one, is a photographer's dream. He sits still when his parents tell him to, is always smiling, and best of all- he knows how to pose for the camera! I seriously did not have to do anything to make this kid look good. It was a lot of fun hanging out with the Nguyens and capturing the outdoorsy theme that fits this family perfectly. Isn't their one year old adorable?

Tropical Storm Erika might have washed out before getting as far as South Florida last month, but it still took a toll on tourism.
According to data from travel research firm STR, Miami-Dade and the Florida Keys both saw year-over-year hotel occupancy fall in August, which ended with the threat of a hurricane.
Florida Gov. Rick Scott declared a state of emergency on Aug. 28 in preparation for Erika; the the storm fell apart the next morning over Cuba.
The Florida Keys saw the biggest drop: Hotels were 74.3 percent full in August, compared to 79 percent full a year earlier. Room rates still ticked up 4 percent to more than $223.
Andy Newman, spokesman for the Monroe County Tourist Development Council, said that before the storm threat developed, August occupancy was up 2 percent.
“The potential but never realized threat from Tropical Storm Srika had an impact on data for the Keys,” he said. He said over the final four days of the month, the average occupancy loss was 42 percent.
In Miami-Dade, hotel occupancy was nearly 76 percent, a drop of 3.5 percent compared to the previous year. Rates were essentially flat at more than $146 a night.
“After a very robust July, the last week of August was impacted by the dampening effect of Tropical Storm Erika,” William Talbert, III, president and CEO of the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau, said in a statement. “Despite the weather, Miami-Dade saw an increase in the number of rooms sold during the month of August.”
Broward County was less affected. Although STR data shows that occupancy at hotels that reported their data to the firm dropped less than a percent, the Greater Fort Lauderdale Convention & Visitors Bureau said the broader picture was positive.
Including hotels that did not report their numbers to STR, occupancy nudged up a tiny bit to 74.7 percent, a spokeswoman said. Average daily rates were up 3.6 percent to $103.20, the highest ever for August.
“Our non reporting properties actually showed a slight increase in occupancy, so despite additional inventory the National Urban League pushed our numbers forward,” Nicki Grossman, the bureau’s president, said in a statement. “Summer has been very good to us.”

The long-wandering journey of life with its tumultuous ups and downs, as told by four men with extreme pasts: a gay evangelist, a German terrorist, a kung-fu enthusiast, and a bank robber. Each has gone to extremes in pursuit of the “truth,” and in due course confronts the edge. This work was developed from the worldview of Euripides’ Greek tragedies. Employing a structure that intersperses scenes of masked puppets in the role of ancient Greek actors, this work brilliantly evokes the vibrancy of language through the resonance of four stories that at first glance seem unrelated.
[Director’s Statement] This film emerged out of an odd challenge. In 2003, I was approached by Greg Carr and Noble Smith of the Carr Foundation about making a documentary on the playwright Euripides. The next two and a half years were to bring the most satisfying and adventurous experience I’ve had in my career as a documentary filmmaker.
The concept behind the film was to find people whose real lives mirrored the dramatic arc of a certain Euripidean tragedy—the tragedy of the extremist. I was interested in the character that embarks on a journey for valid reasons, only to find himself so deeply embedded in the cause that he becomes the opposite of what he had intended to become. He is blind to this fact, though, until the forces of fate and character boil and distill to a single moment of dark clarity. The threat of extremism looms heavily today, but the issue has fed morality tales for centuries. What makes a person vulnerable to this particular moral misadventure? Can human beings be guided away from the trap of destructive righteousness, or are we fated to learn only from our own mistakes? Is character fate?
I wanted to tell the stories of individuals who seem very different from each other at first glance. But as their stories unfold, one starts to see the parallels between their uncommon, common experience. To this end, the film uses excerpts from Euripides’ plays, most notably The Bacchae, as thematic chapter headings to the stages in our four protagonists’ lives. Although the play excerpts provide more of a tonal shading than a full exploration of Euripides’ work, I wanted to try to incorporate stylistic elements that would echo their original staging and underscore the connections between our stories. A crucial part of that approach was the decision to use puppetry in parts of all our stories.

Farmers are being urged to watch for cowpea aphids after they were detected in crops north of Kadina last month.
The insects were found on volunteer lentil plants acting as a green bridge prior to crops emerging.
YP AG agronomist Chris Davey said farmers were monitoring aphid numbers across the region. Northern Yorke Peninsula was a high-risk area as it had high rainfall in April and farmers sowed early, but drier areas – which were sown later – between Kadina and Curramulka were not as vulnerable.
Mr Davey said the insects sucked the sap out of lentils and caused the plant to wilt or, in extreme cases, die.
This may be a threat in 2017, given the lack of forecast rain for the growing season and the need for plants to keep the moisture up to their leaves.
“They also spread viruses such as cucumber mosaic virus, bean yellow mosaic virus and alfalfa mosaic virus due to their sap-sucking means of eating. If the aphid is carrying a virus, they transfer the virus to the new plant,” he said.
Mr Davey said farmers relied on selective or non-selective insecticides to manage the issue once a lentil crop was sown. He encouraged selective aphid sprays rather than non-selective options to allow beneficial insects to survive, and keep control of any future infestations of cowpea or blue-green aphids.
Cowpea aphid is a widespread pest commonly found on legume and pulse crops, including field peas, lupins, lentils, faba beans, lucerne and medics, and are capable of being transported on the wind large distances, particularly during autumn.
They tend to colonise single plants before moving onto surrounding plants to form dense colonies on groups of infested plants in ‘hot spots’ within a crop.
In pulse crops damage can result in yield losses of up to 90pc in susceptible varieties, and up to 30pc in varieties with intermediate resistance.
Initial signs of damage include yellowing or whitening of leaf veins, with high numbers causing rapid wilting of leaves and eventually plant death.

Sneijder: Premier League turns Mourinho on
Sneijder, who won the treble under Mourinho’s stewardship last season, believes that the former Porto coach, now at Real Madrid, would relish the chance to succeed Ferguson when the opportunity arises.
"When Ferguson retires, in my mind, it's a deal already done in people's heads,’’ Sneijder said.
’’One world-class manager leaves and another one takes over. I have had many deep and long conversations with Jose and I would put money on him taking over from Ferguson. I know the job he would want is to be Manchester United manager.
"To be honest, he is probably the only coach in the world who is capable of taking over from Ferguson. I know Ferguson will have a big say in who takes over from him, and even though they have their differences there is a big mutual respect."
Ferguson, who has been in charge at Old Trafford since 1986, has etched himself into football history by winning 22 major trophies during his time with the Red Devils.
It is currently uncertain as to how long he will continue in the role but, at the age of 68, it is likely that he will step down within the next five years.
Sneijder is in no doubt that Mourinho is anticipating a return to England in the future, having previously guided Chelsea to their first league title in 50 years.
"I know how excited he is to get back to the Premier League," added Sneijder. " When he talked about it, he was like a little kid. He was so excited. It really turns him on."
Whilst United may represent a future aim for Mourinho, his immediate priorities are with Madrid as he looks to bring a halt to Barcelona’s dominance in La Liga.
