Does anyone know how to make clear edible glitter from egg whites?If so can yo share your recipe.
I have been thrown into a state of confusion about what glitter is edible and what is not so I have been experimenting with making my own edible glitter. I began with the recipe of:
1T. gum arabic, 1T water and 1 egg white(beaten). desired amount of gel food color
Heat the water and gum arabic in the top of a double boiler and stir until it dissolves. Then take it off the heat and let the mixture cool to luke warm and whisk in the beaten egg white. Pour into glass baking dish (I used 9x13 pan I use for lasagne) Let dry for 12 hours and then scrape off with metal spatula. If it came out with flakes too large, I just ground it a little with my mortar and pestal. Store in air tight container.
Some websites used just the gum arabic and water so here is my finding;
1. Gum Arabic and water: This makes a large flake and very sparkly glitter. It scraped off the easiest of all trials.
2. Gum Arabic and water and meringue powder mixed with approiate amount of water to make the equivalent to one egg white.: this mixture had some less shiny patches where I hadn't gotten the meringue powder mixed in evenly. Other than that it was quite acceptable with medium sized easy to scrape off flakes.
3. Gum Arabic and water with real egg white.: This had some places where I hadn't gotten the egg beaten well together so it had some clear specks when I spread it in the pan. This had medium size flakes and was easy to scrape off except where there was a speck of white.
4. Gum Arabic and water with Egg Beater's whites only. OMG this was the best. The color mixed in evenly and it was also very glittery with medium sized flakes and easy to scrape off.
5. Only Egg Beater's whites only with gel color. This scrapes off the worst of all trials, however it makes a nice small flake and is very shiny.
I'm not really sure how much the glass pan adds to the glitteryness of the mixture. I might try spreading it on parchment paper because the whites only mixture was difficult to scrape off. I really had to work at it.

Best Places In Europe – The South – we get many emails from people asking us where we think the best places in Europe are, where we would recommend them to go and why.
Deciding where to go is one of the most important parts in planning a trip, and for someone who has never been to Europe, it’s a very difficult decision to make.
However comparing north, south, west and east is almost impossible – so we decided to break them up into different articles – this first one will feature the 4 best places in Europe to visit in the south.
Best Places In Europe – The South
Greece – Greek Islands
The thing with Greece is that we wouldn’t recommend one single island, but rather doing some island hopping between a couple of them.
Each island in Greece has their own charm, their own atmosphere and are famous for their own thing.
If you want to experience a bit of everything, then take Mediterranean cruises around the Greek islands and explore the best of each island.
Exploring the ancient sites in Crete, the white and blue houses and sunset views in Santorini, the nightlife in Mykonos, and the quiet villages and delicious food in Samos – would be some of my suggestions.
Either arrange the trip beforehand or wing it and look for some cruise deals when arriving in one of the port towns.
Spain – Barcelona
For someone visiting Spain for the first time, the city of Barcelona is the given choice – there is simply no other city like it.
The architecture, the streets and alleyways, the long list of attractions – these are just a few of the reasons why Barcelona is one of the best places in Europe to visit.
If you’re looking for a good combo of beach and city, however, we would instead suggest San Sebastian, which has a beautiful old town full of pinxtos bars, and the best in-city beach in the country (where you can even go surfing!).
Portugal – Porto
While Lisbon is a great city, and we spent several days there, the place that actually made the biggest impression on us in Portugal, and is the reason we’re going back there later this year, is Porto.
There is something about this city that just makes you love it.
Maybe it’s the rough tiled buildings, the narrow, steep streets, the incredible views – whatever it is, we’re going back there for more.
It’s also a great place to sample the famous Port wine (while visiting the wine cellars, or even taking a cruise on the river to see the vineyards), and soak up some true Portuguese atmosphere.
But yes, Lisbon is a close second, so if you have time make sure you visit both!
Italy – Venice
Italy is perhaps the country in Europe which has the most places that are simply incomparable; there is no city like Rome, there is no city like Venice, and there is no coast like Cinque Terre.
We haven’t seen enough of Italy yet, in fact it’s a country we would love to explore from top to bottom and coast to coast this year.
Visiting Venice last summer was a dream come true for us, and so far it’s our favorite place in Italy.
When visiting Venice, we would recommend staying in nearby Padua, another pretty town with cheaper accommodation, beautiful streets and squares, and a great way to soak up some local Italian culture.
That way you get to experience two great places with different vibes and atmosphere.
Lanzarote, Canary Islands
If you want to go somewhere warm, Lanzarote is a good place to go – it’s an island which belongs to the Canary Islands, which are often referred to as the islands of eternal spring.
The weather there is always mild, with winter days at a comfortable 15 degrees.
People go on Lanzarote holidays all throughout the year, and while the climate is the one thing that attracts most tourists, there are many other reasons to go there – one especially being the beautiful black beaches contrasting the bright blue water.
The best time to visit Barcelona to get the best experience is when the tourist crowds have thinned out.
The clubs might not be as crazy as in the summer, but there are always a few local hangouts where you can experience a different pace of the city, and you will finally be able to enjoy the famous museums in peace and quiet.
Many people take Barcelona city breaks in summers, but I would say that the best time to do it is outside of the high-season.
During the summers the streets of Barcelona can get really hot, but now that winter is here you can walk around for a lot longer, and when your hands and nose get cold, pop into a cafe or tapas restaurant and warm up with some local food and hot beverage.
Bergamo, Italy – Romantic Atmosphere
Bergamo is an adorable city in northern Italy that offers a true romantic Italian experience on an intimate level – the city has a long history dating back over 2000 years, and in Citta Alta (the old part of town) you will be enchanted by its medieval charm.
The city has really preserved the small town feel with its narrow cobbled streets,small boutiques, cafes and bars around every corner.
Beautiful churches, Venetian architecture and amazing art is in abundance, which is one of the reasons Bergamo has been nicknamed ”the city of art”.
Bed and Breakfast places are cheap and the budget airline Ryan Air flies to the nearby Bergamo airport (that they call Milan, although it actually is in Bergamo) from many destinations around Europe.
Which other places in southern Europe would you recommend first-time travelers to visit?
Lanzarote – Guilt-Free Holiday Guide
A ‘UNESCO Biosphere‘ – doesn’t exactly say sun, sand and sea does it?
You’re thinking earnest types in sturdy shoes with sensible hats and possibly those stick things that make sure everyone knows they’re walking, just in case the one foot in front of another action wasn’t enough of a hint.
Welcome to Lanzarote, the little Biosphere that chose sun, sand, sea and sustainability, gave rash over-development a miss and became a guilt-free island mecca for responsible travelers who want to play too.
Lanzarote – Guilt-Free Holiday Guide
As far as natural advantages go it’s fair to say that Lanzarote has lucked out. The fourth largest and most eastern of Spain’s Canary Islands,
Lanzarote is also the oldest and the flattest. So the wind, rain and humidity that affect its neighbors leave Lanzarote relatively unscathed.
The weather is warm and sunny most of the year with very hot summers (it’s only 100km from the Sahara) and, with the exception of some of the island’s west coast, the Atlantic is stunningly well behaved – for the Atlantic.
This is all good news if you can’t have a holiday without a beach.
All in all, Lanzarote has 85 of them, ranging from the lava strewn shores and world class surf in the west to the popular resort beaches on the island’s greener east coast.
But if you take our advice you’ll make a picnic, stock up on water, pack a sun umbrella and head south to spend the ‘Beach Bit’ of your holiday among the coves, cliffs and sand dunes of Papagayo.
Back in the heady days of the 60s when all was peace, love and self-discovery unhindered by the practicalities of sun screen and personal hygiene, Papagayo was Hippy Heaven.
The patchwork tents are long gone, but the beach remains, sheltered, unspoiled and far less busy than its suburban counterparts (probably something to do with the lack of cafés, bars or surf shops).
Papagayo is ideal for small children because it’s not big and crowded and the sea is paddle perfect.
Older children can spend hours exploring and climbing and swimming safely – it’s never too early for the next generation to discover great beaches don’t all come with theme parks attached.
Not that Lanzarote doesn’t do theme parks, it just doesn’t do them in quite the same way as the rest of the world. Instead, the island goes with what comes naturally.
And since Lanzarote is lucky enough to have a history of real-life volcanic activity to fall back on we don’t think a lack of Smurfs or the like will disappoint you too much.
Lanzarote’s volcanic activity is fairly recent – 1730 to 1736 – and there’s evidence of it everywhere from the Playa Quemada to the island’s vineyards and farmland.
But nowhere on Lanzarote says ‘vast and unknowable universe’ quite as clearly as Timanfaya National Park.
Covering 50km² in the west of the island, Timanfaya is strange and bleakly beautiful, a landscape of devastation punctuated by huge craters, walls of petrified lava, volcanic ash, enormous boulders, geysers and endless plains.
Regular bus tours are one way to see the park (understandably you’re not allowed to wander about on your own).
But, you can also explore Timanfaya as part of a Camel Train and this we highly recommend – it takes about five minutes to get used to the way camels walk and the fact that even the happy ones look like they might bite you.
In Timanfaya, and all over Lanzarote, you quickly become aware of a common thread; the vast influence of one man, César Manrique.
Architect, artist and conservationist, Manrique is considered by many to be the creator of contemporary Lanzarote, the keeper of its heritage and a driving force behind the successful balance of environment, culture and community that makes the island so unique.
Jameos del Agua, on Lanzarote’s gentler, greener east coast is Manrique’s masterpiece and a complete contrast to Timanfaya.
Built out of the partially collapsed remains of the world’s longest volcanic tube, Jameos del Agua is all sparkling pools, waterfalls, caves, lagoons and gardens.
It’s also the only natural habitat of Munidopsis Polymorpha, Lanzarote’s tiny, blind albino crabs and, fittingly, home to the César Manrique Foundation.
Bikes are big on Lanzarote and getting more popular all the time.
So even if you don’t want to give up driving altogether consider taking to two wheels at least some of the time.
Not only are the island’s roads relatively quiet, they’re well surfaced and cyclists are pretty much the norm so there’s more respect than you’re probably used to back home.
And bikes come in handy for exploring Lanzarote’s less beaten paths, finding your own favorite beaches and exploring tiny towns and villages that aren’t writ large on all the visitor info.
While the restaurants and farmers’ markets of the world translated ‘fresh, local and organic’ into ‘pricy and pretentious’, Lanzarote must have looked on in amazement.
Because here, when it comes to food, the rules are simple; if you can’t grow it, catch it, rear it or make it, you don’t eat it.
Happily the island grows just about everything; fresh fish are line caught all along the coast, Lanzarote chicken is famously good and don’t get us started on the local Malvasia wine and the island’s fig and cheese options.
Almost every town and village has a morning produce market at least one day a week.
If you want someone else to do the cooking there are plenty of Canarian restaurants only too happy to help.
You can go total island and take to a Telebar for tapas and vino pata (the everyday local wine).
And you have to try Lanzarote’s ‘Fish, Chips and Sauce’: grilled Dorada, Papas Arrugadas and Green Mojo.
Iconic whitewashed houses, vineyards scalloped with stone windbreaks, a solitary cone shaped mountain breaking the horizon, white sand beaches and clear seas, rich fields, quiet roads, huge night skies, a line of camels on a black ash ridge…
Lanzarote is easy on the eye and totally alive; a perfect Biosphere and committed to keeping it that way.
Balearic Islands Spain
Spain has a lot of islands, scattered all over the world, many of them extremely popular holiday destinations.
But few islands beat the Balearic Islands when it comes to showing tourists a good time.
But which island should you pick?
They all have their own perks and advantages, and depending on what you’re looking for on your holiday different islands will suit your needs best. Lanzarote Guilt-Free Holiday Guide
Mallorca is the largest of this group of islands, and it’s also the most popular – especially for families.
The beautiful island is perfect for both explorers as well as families looking for a relaxing vacation, as it offers a lot to see and do.
Most people go to Mallorca for the golden beaches, but they tend to get overcrowded by sun worshipers – so if you want secluded beaches, you will have to dig deeper.
For those venturing off on day trips, there is plenty to offer, from mountains to olive fields to caves.
The caves are especially beautiful, with stalagmites and stalactites in incredible formations.
Thanks to its unspoiled beauty, Menorca is the most adventurous of the Balearic islands.
Unlike some of the other islands, it’s less overrun with tourists, and despite its small size you can find as many beaches here as you can on Mallorca and Ibiza combined!
One of the popular ways to explore the island is horse back riding.
Formentera is quieter than Ibiza, but during July and August it gets very busy.
The serene beaches are the biggest draw to the island, and snorkeling and sailing is very popular.
The island is also perfect for Cycling and walking, and if you go outside of the peak season you’ll find it very laid back.
Ibiza is the party island, well known for its summer club parties and electronic music.
People generally party all night long, and then crash in one of the sun chairs by the beach and sleep for a couple of hours.
But lately the government have been focusing on making this into a family friendly destination as well, and as there are many interesting places to explore and things to do than just partying, it was a good idea.
Ibiza’s Most Popular Party Resort
The two words I am about to utter will conjure a picture of extreme partying: San Antonio.
Without a doubt Ibiza’s most popular resort, this large town is clubbing central, perfectly placed for a week or two’s party action.
In clubbing season, there are plentiful flights to Ibiza, with many bargains to be had.
Pre-book airport parking prior to travelling and you’ll find one less thing to worry about, free to think about letting your hair down.
I rarely travel without airport parking, for convenience and cost, with a handy shuttle to the terminal door.
Check out Manchester airport parking and see how much you could save, and make sure they have that free shuttle to the airport so you won’t have to worry about getting to the airport with a hang-over.
But Ibiza isn’t all about clubbing; there are many beautiful sights on the island, and the sunsets are legendary, however I’d be lying if I said you could avoid the clubbing scene entirely.
San Antonio is pretty much geared up for clubbers, with two of the main clubs in town, Eden and Es Paradis.
Sunset Strip is the famous run of chill-out bars, dripping in style and fashion.
If I say the words ‘Cafe del Mar’, you’ll get my drift. I’d highly recommend a drink or two here, watching the sun go down in a huge red blaze – remember your camera!
For a trip out of town, I’d recommend jumping on the bus and heading to Ibiza Town for a day’s shopping – something I love to do, and a walk around the picturesque Old Town.
Alternatively, the famous hippy market takes place on Wednesdays at Es Cana, and in my opinion, this is a must do.
Another must do is a boat-trip. Planning Sailing Holiday on the Greek Coast
One of my favorite days out, for a day’s floating around the coastline, taking in the breathtaking scenery and fast-tracking the tan.
Please heed my advice and remember sun-cream and a hat – the sun is extremely strong at sea, and sunburn is not attractive!
Speaking of sun-soaking, you won’t generally find much life in the resort before lunch-time at least, with party-goers sleeping off the previous night’s excesses, so if you’re not one of them, I’d suggest heading down just before lunch to grab a prime sunbathing spot.
The beach in San Antonio is adequate, but not sparkling, and in my opinion there are much better ones a little further down the coast. Jump on a bus and explore.
I think it goes without saying that San Antonio’s night-life is loud.
For quieter night-life, head to nearby Santa Eulalia, however if you’ve booked a holiday in San Antonio, I would expect that clubbing is on the agenda.
I wouldn’t recommend a break in San Antonio for families or those wanting to chill-out, because the noise will probably put you off.
However, if you’re into clubbing, then the resort’s two clubs will do for a start, with the disco bus transporting you to the rest – Pacha, Bora Bora, Space … Do I need to go on?!
Sparkling in the sunshine, San Antonio is a clubber’s dream, with a beautiful backdrop that often gets overlooked in favour of the world-famous nightlife.
There is more than meets the eye to this Balearic resort, it’s just a matter of getting out of bed long enough to explore it!
Cut the cost of your holiday with all-important airport extras, such as airport parking, meaning one less worry before you go away.
Try airport parking if flying out of the capital.
A fantastic summer blow-out?
Sound good to you?
Book your break to San Antonio this summer!
Most Popular Beaches in Spain
With more than 5000 miles of coastline, Spain truly is the home of beautiful beaches.
Think pristine waters, rocky coastlines and soft white sands, and you’ll be picturing the beaches of Spain.
While Spain has a number of other qualities that attract thousands of tourists each year, you won’t leave Spain without being captivated by the picturesque Mediterranean Sea.
With such a vast array of different beaches, it’s difficult to narrow it down to just the 5 most popular, but these are the ones that you simply cannot leave without seeing.
One of the most popular beaches in Spain, this is where the party goers play during the day.
While the clubs and bars control the nightlife in Magalluf, the glistening sun brings thousands of tourists out to the white sands of Magalluf Beach and Isla de Sa Porrasa during the day.
Holiday specials can often be found on accommodation and hotel transfers in Magalluf, due to its incredible popularity among holiday makers.
Located in the world famous Ibiza, Cala Tarida is a secluded bay, providing travelers with the perfect place to escape the crowds.

While many of the beaches are surrounded by rocky coastlines, the beaches of Salou are covered in golden white sands.
If you’re travelling with a family, the calm tides and shallow waters create the perfect swimming conditions for younger family members.
Llevant Beach and Platja dels Capellans are just two of the must see beaches, when visiting Salou.
Playa del Ingles
Surrounded by a number of resorts and hotels, Playa del Ingles has everything a traveller could possibly want.

Learn Spanish Before Visiting Spain
For travelers, it is common to seek to learn at least the basics of a foreign language before setting off on a trip – when seeking to learn Italian, London students understand how knowledge of at least the basics of Italian will enhance their travel experience.
There are many reasons why you may know the language spoken by natives at the place you’re about to travel.
Experience the Local Culture
You may choose to travel as a tourist who only goes to touristic places, and talks to hotel clerks who are able to speak in your language and miss the real local experience, or to do so as a traveler who really gets in the skin of the place he’s visiting to live is in flesh and bones – a language and a culture go hand in hand; they are never, ever isolated.
In fact, there are theories that support that it’s the language what builds up reality, and not the other way around.
In other words, you won’t be able to truly experience the local life when travelling, unless you’re willing to learn the language spoken there.
There are cultural nuances that cannot be conveyed in translations, but only in their original forms.
Socializing is part of our nature as human beings. However, in order to socialize, a certain degree of empathy is needed, and even more if you’re in a country other than the one you live in.
When taking Spanish courses, London students believe that their interest for the Spanish language and culture will result attractive to Spaniards, as naturally, it can be considered a sign of respect. Besides, only locals will tell you where to go and how to experience the life of a true Spaniard.
Only when you understand a language do you get a good grasp of the culture that underlies it.
Some cultures may be significantly different from that of our own, to the point that we run the risk of doing or saying something that we consider common and perfectly acceptable, while others regard it as rude or even atrocious.
For example, while you may think that finishing everything up on your plate is a sign that you enjoyed the meal, in China it’s considered rude: according to them, it could mean that you didn’t get enough food and you’re still hungry.
The etiquette of each country is one thing you need to be aware of before travelling.
Your Guide To Fuerteventura
If you’re looking for information on Fuerteventura, it’s likely that you’ve already booked a holiday there or are planning one – so it’s most likely that you already know that its star attraction for tourists from all around the world is its beaches.
With over 150 beaches, more than 125 miles of stunning coastline and year round warm weather and sunshine, it’s definitely a place for sun seekers.
And there are beaches for everyone, from the more family orientated ones like Caleta de Fuste to the quieter south coast beaches like Costa Calma.
Due to the weather hardly ever dropping below 20C, even in the winter, Fuerteventura is the perfect destination for cheap holidays year round.
When the temperatures soar to the highest, around 27C in the high season, July and August, families and holidaymakers flock to the island. However you will always be kept cool by the ‘strong winds’, which is the literal meaning of the island’s name.
Aside from the beautiful beaches, Fuerteventura has many things to see and do. The island is semi-arid with minor volcanic activity and strange ancient volcanic landscapes.
As a result of this, one of the most popular tourist activities on the island is a visit to one of the caves formed in these eruptions. The Cueva de los Verdes is around 3000 years old and was once used by the original inhabitants to shelter from Pirates.
It includes one of the longest volcanic tunnels in the world with a part of it running under the sea bed.
Even more famous than Fuerteventura’s volcanic caves and tunnels are the huge sand dunes in the Corralejo National Park.
The area is over 11km long, and houses dunes up to 50m in height.
It is the perfect place to enjoy a quiet hour’s relaxing in the sand or a spot of bird-watching among the shallows.
The more active among you might enjoy heading to the beaches not for the sunbathing, but for the many water sports that take place along the coastlines.
It is famed for its surfing and snorkeling in the warm shallow waters.
If you need something more exciting to fill your days, Fuerteventura is home to the Baku Water Park in Corralejo and the Oasis Park in La Lajita.
The younger ones in your family will particularly enjoy the latter with sea lion and bird shows put on daily, as well as the big botanical garden to wander.
On site, there are also four golf courses which are sure to keep dad happy once he’s tired of looking at the animals.
Fuerteventura’s cuisine is very Spanish in style, and includes a great deal of fish and sea food in a variety of sauces.
As well as the typical Spanish tapas, which you must try at least once, Fuerteventura has its own traditional dishes that stretch back centuries such as Gofio Amasado, a dough mixture with potatoes, honey and wine, and Pappas Arrugadas, a delectable mix of potatoes with a ‘mojo’ sauce.

In what can only be described as major departure in the so-called ‘war on drugs’, the Obama Administration has issued a new three page memo on medical dispensaries.
You can now read the memorandum, signed by Deputy Attorney General David W. Ogden, here.
I can only applaud the victory won today by marijuana activists. We can only celebrate the good and just fight anchored by NORML and its founder, Keith Stroup, who engaged this cause decades ago.
You can also share your thoughts with the White House on the administration's decision via NORML's Take Action Center here-mapping out the federal government’s new guidelines for states that have laws protecting medical cannabis patients. It is quite enough to be sick. It was sicker that our own government would further target sick patients.
Last February Attorney General Eric Holder indicated in a press conference that the Obama Administration–which favors physician-recommended access to medical cannabis–would abate from what had been an aggressive law enforcement (and propaganda) campaign against medical access to cannabis. After some delay, and some criticism, from impatient soldiers in the fight, such as me, that day has come. That victory is now won.
There is still much to do but this is one small toke for man, one giant joint for humankind.
Good article entitled 'Tokeville' in Harper's Magazine's October issue, for those so intrigued by this issue.

Knicks snap home losing skid, Ross haunts former Raptor team
By Agence France-Presse
Damyean Dotson scored 27 points and the New York Knicks snapped their franchise-record home losing streak at 18 games with a 130-118 win over the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday night.
Kevin Knox, Dennis Smith and Emmanual Mudiay all had 19 points in the Knicks’ first home victory since December 1 against the Milwaukee Bucks.
“It’s major,” guard Smith said. “We’ve been having our fans come out and support every night and haven’t won here since December 1.
“I’m glad that we could get it tonight and just give the fans something to see.”
The NBA win even attracted the attention of the 2019 Oscar presenter Samuel L. Jackson, who pointed out the result during Sunday’s show to Hollywood director Spike Lee before presenting Lee with the Best Adapted Screenplay award.
“The Knicks won tonight. I repeat, the Knicks won tonight,” Jackson said addressing Lee, a Knicks’ megafan.
Smith also had 13 assists and Knox had 10 rebounds, while rookie Mitchell Robinson finished with 15 points and 14 rebounds.
DeMar DeRozan had 32 points and nine rebounds for the Spurs, who dropped to 1-6 on their road trip that ends Monday against the Brooklyn Nets.
LaMarcus Aldridge scored 18 points, but was limited to just 13 minutes through three quarters because of foul trouble.
The Spurs came in as the NBA’s best three-point shooting team but were just six for 24 from behind the arc.
The Knicks led by nine at halftime and then started to seize command in the third quarter to go up by 19 with just over two minutes left in the period.
San Antonio cut it to 94-83 entering the fourth but their troubles continued in the fourth.
– Magic beats Raptors –
Elsewhere, Terrence Ross torched his former team for a game-high 28 points and center Nikola Vucevic finished with 23 points and 12 assists as the Orlando Magic beat the Toronto Raptors 113-98.
Ross, who played over four seasons in Toronto, came off the bench to spark the Magic.
“He’s been great,” Vucevic said of Ross. “When he scores for us like that, it just gives us a huge advantage.”
The Magic, who were coming off a disappointing loss to the Chicago Bulls at home on Friday, snapped the Raptors winning streak at seven games.
“This is the part of the season where you’ve got to move forward, no matter what,” Ross said. “You’ve got to make sure that you’re ready to play.”
Ross made nine of 21 shots, including three of eight from three-point range. He equalled his season high with nine rebounds.
The Raptors, who played without star Kawhi Leonard, fell to 44-17 and slid two games behind Milwaukee for the best record in the NBA and the Eastern Conference. Leonard was rested to manage his workload, the Raptors said.
– Nuggets over Clippers –
Meanwhile in Denver, Colorado, the Denver Nuggets cruised past the struggling Los Angeles Clippers 123-96 behind strong performances from Nikola Jokic and Paul Millsap.
Jokic had 22 points and 16 rebounds, and Millsap had 21 points and 16 boards for the Nuggets, who won their fourth straight.
After leading the charge, Jokic went to the bench two minutes into the third quarter after getting hit with his fourth foul.
Their combined 43 points helped the Nuggets improve to 26-4 at home and pull within a game of the Western Conference-leading Golden State Warriors.
Lou Williams scored 24 and Danilo Gallinari had 19 for the Clippers, who couldn’t capitalize on Denver’s uncharacteristic 22 turnovers and 12 missed free throws because they couldn’t make a basket.
Given NBA teams tendency to now shoot more three pointers, the Clippers did their part on Sunday but managed to make just three of 24 from beyond the arc.
Clippers coach Doc Rivers wasn’t convinced they lost because of poor shooting.
“I would love to say it was shots missed, I thought they were the tougher team, the more physical team,” he said.

The outbreak of the coronavirus disease in 2019 (COVID-19) has greatly impacted the life and mental health of many people globally. The objective of this study was to investigate the factors associated with preventive behaviors and mental health among Chinese adults during their home quarantine in the COVID-19 period. An online questionnaire survey was administered in March 2020. The study participants were adults aged between 18 and 70 years old from 31 provinces in China. Of the 3878 participants, 1314 reported moderate levels of anxiety, and the remaining participants reported moderate to severe levels of anxiety. Findings revealed that females aged between 18 and 30 years old who had higher educational qualifications, greater levels of preventive knowledge, trust in the government, and resided in urban and medium-risk areas (R2 = 0.100, F = 27.97, p < 0.001) were more likely to exhibit preventive behaviors. In contrast, a higher negative emotional response was generally seen in males who had low levels of preventive knowledge and behaviors, higher risk perception of infection, lower trust in the government, and unhealthy lifestyles (R2 = 0.127, F = 32.33, p < 0.001). In addition, the high-risk perception of infection was positively associated with high odds of anxiety (AOR = 1.17, 95% CI: 1.10–1.24), whereas a greater level of preventive knowledge (AOR = 0.36, 95% CI: 0.19–0.70) and behaviors (AOR = 0.69, 95% CI: 0.57–0.84), higher trust in the government’s COVID-19 pandemic mitigation measures (AOR = 0.77, 95% CI: 0.71–0.83), and a healthier lifestyle (AOR = 0.89, 95% CI: 0.79–0.99) were negatively associated with high odds of anxiety. Results showed that a lower level of anxiety and negative emotional response were associated with better preventive behaviors against COVID-19, which were influenced by preventive knowledge, risk perception, trust in the government’s COVID-19 pandemic mitigation measures, and healthy lifestyle. Findings in this study could help formulate health interventions for vulnerable groups related to gendered vulnerabilities in the COVID-19 environment to improve their mental health and preventive behaviors, especially during the period of a pandemic.

“The Vampire Diaries” loves a good plot twist. One of the sadder story lines from the Season 6 finale involved Jo’s (Jodi Lyn O’Keefe) unborn twins. She was stabbed in the stomach, which would seem to kill them. However, Season 7 episode 6 revealed that her twins aren’t quite as dead as audiences thought. While Alaric (Matt Davis) was given hope to be a father, Stefan (Paul Wesley) wanted revenge against the man who took that chance away from him.
The Twins: Alaric meets Jo at the coffee shop, and she starts coughing up blood. He takes her home, and her health quickly starts declining. Valerie (Elizabeth Blackmore) abruptly explains that a human body can’t handle a vampire soul and she is dying. She seems to look regretful when Caroline (Candice King) explains the circumstances of Jo’s first death.
On her deathbed, Jo remembers that her real name is Florence. “I know you wanted your wife back. I’m sorry I’m not her. I wish I was. She was a lucky woman,” Florence says. He thanks Florence for allowing him to say goodbye to Jo. Caroline watches as he mourns the death of his wife again.
While Alaric is saying goodbye, Valerie turns on his wedding video. The camera was left on after Kai (Chris Wood) arrived, so she hears the witches chanting. She reveals that the Gemini witches weren’t sending Kai to the prison world. They were trying to save Jo’s unborn twins. Valerie does a locator spell to find the twins, but Caroline worries that Alaric is getting his hopes up for nothing.
Valerie sets up a spell with Alaric’s blood. Once the blood reaches the twins' location, the map should catch fire. The blood goes off the map, and Caroline thinks the spell isn’t working. When Caroline goes to clean up the blood, it sets on fire. The Gemini coven gave Caroline the twins. She is pregnant. This also explains how the show will deal with actress Candice King’s real life pregnancy.
Three Years Later: This week’s flash-forward reveals that Caroline’s fiancé is Alaric. Caroline goes on live television and says she has a message for Stefan Salvatore. We don’t get to hear what that message is.
Stefan’s Revenge: Stefan dreams about having an 11-year-old son who suddenly disappears. Clearly, Valerie’s news that he could have had a child is affecting him. Lily (Annie Wersching) sends a formal invitation for Stefan and Damon (Ian Somerhalder) to meet Julian (Todd Lasance) and offer peace, Stefan knows he has to get his revenge quickly.
— The Vampire Diaries (@cwtvd) November 12, 2015
Damon doesn’t want to go. He wants to give Julian six months to make it more painful for Lily when he ultimately kills his mother’s boyfriend. However, Stefan isn’t quite as maniacal. He knows Julian is evil, so he wants him dead ASAP.
They go to the party, which is somehow filled with humans despite Mystic Falls being abandoned, but Damon still doesn’t want to kill Julian yet. Damon doesn’t understand why Stefan cares. Stefan refuses to explain, but he can’t let his brother get in his way. Matt (Zach Roerig) comes in with a bottle of Damon’s liquor, and Damon obviously has to snatch it out of his hands. Too bad that’s exactly what Matt and Stefan planned. They poisoned him so that Stefan could kill Julian without interruption.
Stefan attacks Julian and lights him on fire, but Lily comes in and manages to save her love. Julian sits them down for a chat about his time trapped in the Phoenix Stone, which was essentially his version of hell. Every day he had to kill the woman he loved, Lily. He claims that he never lost his sanity. Then he attacks the boys, but Lily gets scared. When she stops her boyfriend, she has the boys leave.
At home, Stefan reveals what happened to Valerie. He explains that Julian beat Valerie until she lost his baby. He knows that it was over 150 years ago, but he still needs Julian dead.
Damon later admits that he and Elena (Nina Dobrev) fantasized about kids. He said he wanted to be a great father just to spite his own abusive dad. Stefan says that being a father is the only thing he has never done, and he might regret that. Damon promises to help Stefan with his plan to kill Julian in the future.
Julian’s Secrets: Julian quietly tells Beau (Jaiden Kaine) to track down Oscar’s (Tim Kang) car. That isn’t the only thing he is doing behind Lily’s back. When he goes to the wine cellar with Mary Louise (Teressa Liane), he convinces her to feed on a human. So much for the “peace party.”
— The Vampire Diaries (@cwtvd) November 13, 2015
Later, Julian says that he doesn’t recognize this version of Lily. She says she doesn’t want to see her children dead. When Julian realizes that she is truly angry, he suddenly becomes tearful and says that he is deeply affected by the time he spent dead. He promises not to attack her boys again, but also notes that he needs to feel safe. Julian knows Damon and Stefan will attack again. He clearly has a plan, but we don’t know what it is yet.
Bonnie and Matt’s Discovery: When Bonnie (Kat Graham) tries to leave Lily’s party, someone asks her where the high school is. He is only focused on the school, so he is obviously compelled. Bonnie and Matt follow him to the abandoned high school where the man walks right by them without acknowledging their presence. A classroom at the school is full of compelled humans who are sitting in the desks with IVs in their arms. They don’t seem to respond to Matt telling them that they’ll help get them out. They're all being compelled, but which vampire is controlling them?
Elsewhere in this episode:
- Caroline was a little too happy to help Valerie find a new identity and go into hiding.
- Valerie was thrilled that Stefan kept her unborn child a secret from his current girlfriend.
- Bonnie helped Enzo (Michael Malarkey) make Lily jealous by fixing his tie.
"The Vampire Diaries" Season 7 airs Thursdays at 8 p.m. EST on The CW.

Carrollton Ceili Thrills a First Timer!
written by Brandon Jones
SCMA Ceili Newsletter July/August 2007
Dateline: Carrollton, TX
I volunteered to work admissions for something called a Ceili on Saturday, May 12th. Now, I have worked the North Texas Irish Festival for 7 years and had seen the word Ceili on the schedule every year. Unfortunately, I’ve always been working a shift when it was going on, so I had never seen a Ceili.
I asked my friend, Christina Brooke, what a Ceili was, as she has been working at the North Texas Irish Festival since she was a kid, but she did not know for sure. So, I asked Lybo Buchanan, the secretary of the Southwest Celtic Music Association, the same question. She said a “ceili” is a gathering and a Dance Ceili was a Celtic dance party similar to square dancing, with live music. So, I saddled up and headed over to the Plaza Arts Center (1115 4th Ave Carrollton, Texas 75006) in the historic square of old downtown Carrollton. But, I still didn’t know what a Ceili is.
I got there about an hour before it started for a better look at the venue. The Plaza Theater on 4th street in Carrollton is a converted one screen movie house. The lobby now houses a neat little collection of jewelry and art pieces. The majority of the old theater has been replaced with a beautiful hardwood dance floor. Where the screen used to be is a stage with a curtain backdrop. The balcony has been converted to a seating area with tables, chairs and a collection of art along the back wall.
I found Lybo in the theater and the other volunteer, Sharon O'Rourke. She is an assistant teacher of Irish Dance at the Emerald Dance School. Once we got ourselves set up and settled in, I asked Sharon what a Ceili is. She told me that “back in the day” whenever you’d have any social gathering, you’d get a few musicians and people would dance and play and have group dances. It was just what happened when enough people got together for any social function, and that is a Ceili. With that question answered I was ready for the night.
About 8 pm, people started trickling in. We had lots of regulars and a few newbies like me. There was a four piece Celtic combo and two instructors, Michael & Susan Harrison, also from the Emerald School. They started off showing everybody some very intricate dance steps. Then, they broke the steps into small sections. Once we had it down, the music struck up and the dancers were off. The regulars were able to spice up the regular steps with some very fancy footwork.
The night moved along fast. There was some teaching, then some dancing, then more teaching and more dancing. Every few songs the whole floor would take a breather to get drinks and snacks. There were about 37 people there -- couples, singles, families, all kinds, all types. The whole group was wildly energetic. They danced and laughed and just had fun the whole time. By the end of the night everyone had met new friends and reacquainted themselves with old ones. As everyone was leaving and milling around, a young penny whistle student went up and jammed with the musicians for a bit. Everyone was glowing from the dancing and smiling and talking. What had been a bunch of strangers at the beginning of the night was now a community. It was great! I had never been to a Ceili before, but I will go back. This is the very thing I was looking for when I joined the S.C.M.A. and, boy, did I get what I was looking for.

Epcot is making some big changes to the World’s Showcase and will be cutting several shows to make way for new experiences.
These four entertainment options are all going to have their final performances during the last week of September, so if you haven’t seen them yet (or want to squeeze in one final showing) you’ll have to move fast, because these shows aren’t coming back once they take their final bows.
This 20-minute show currently takes place in the Moroccan pavilion at EPCOT and features a band playing middle-eastern/African fusion music. The band is also joined onstage by a traditionally dressed belly dancer. This upbeat show can be heard throughout the day and is certainly one of the most memorable aspects of the Moroccan pavilion. The last day to see Mo’Rockin’ is September 27.
Disney has announced that the area currently occupied by Mo’Rockin’ will eventually be taken over by a Berber music and dance troupe at an unspecified future date.
2. Off Kilter
Appearing on their own stage in between the Canadian and UK pavilions, the band Off Kilter performs Celtic fusion music during a 30 minute show that is performed several times a day. The band performs a mix of traditional Celtic songs as well as a few original tunes, and is certainly one of the more unique acts at Walt Disney World. Like Mo’Rockin, Off Kilter will have its last show on September 27.
Replacing Off Kilter at its current stage will be a traditional Celtic folk music ensemble.

The Chairman, Anambra State Christian Association of Nigeria, Joseph Nweke, has described the outcome of the Osun State governorship election as a manifestation of God’s intervention in Nigerian politics, and reform in the electoral system.
Nweke said the way the election went showed that God did not want people to over-empower themselves.
The cleric spoke in Onitsha on Tuesday while also commending the lawmakers for embarking on electoral reform, which he said, aimed at restoring parity in the electioneering processes in the country.
Nweke, who is also the Archdeacon of Onitsha Inland Archdeaconry, said the winner, Senator Ademola Adeleke, became the first beneficiary of the new electoral system in Nigeria.
He said, “When I heard that Adeleke won the election, two things came to my mind. There is what I would call the hand of God in the election. It is not an easy thing to defeat an incumbent in any election.
“Osun is a Christian/Muslim state. From what I heard, Osun has over 65% Christian and 35% Muslim and Adeleke is a Christian.
“So, for them to survive, they are working towards their faith. However, the religious politics in the country is growing wings. So, to me, God is at work in Nigeria, starting from Osun State.
“How can you tell me that a serving governor of a state who has the state’s economy at his disposal, could lose the election in such a devastating manner? There is the hand of God in the process and God is taking us to the next level that we have not yet gotten to.”
The cleric also encouraged Nigerians to get their Permanent Voter Cards and get ready to effect the needed change they want in 2023.
He added that CAN as a body had not endorsed any candidate but the people should vote for the right persons that could lead the country out of its present situation.

- Owner: Bahrain Petroleum Company
- Capacity: 350,000 bpd
- Length: 112 kilometers / 71.5 miles
- Diameter: 30 inch
- Status: Operating
- Start Year: 2018
- Associated Projects: Saudi Aramco Abqaiq Plants Facility, Bahrain Petroleum Company Refinery
Bahrain and Saudi Arabia signed contracts worth approximately $300m to lay a new 350,000-barrel per day (bpd) oil pipeline between the two countries, with the link due to be operational in 2018. Bahrain relies on output from the Abu Safa oil field that it shares with Saudi Arabia for the vast majority of its oil and the new pipeline will replace an ageing 230,000 bpd link and enable Bahrain Petroleum Company (Bapco) expand the processing capacity of its 267,000 bpd Sitra refinery. Eventually the new pipeline’s capacity could be increased to 400,000 bpd, Abdul-Hussain bin Ali Mirza said at a signing event in Manama. “It will be finished by the end of 2017 or early 2018 and then there will be a six-month trial period for the new pipeline,” said Mirza, adding that the old pipeline was likely to be removed from service in the second half of 2018. Arabian Light crude oil will flow from Saudi Aramco’s Abqaiq plant via the 115-km pipeline, 73 kms of which will run overland and the rest under the Gulf. Agreements to build the pipeline were signed with Saudi Arabia’s Al Robaya Holding Company and National Petroleum Construction Company of the UAE. The former will complete onshore engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) work in Saudi as well as conducting engineering and procurement work in Bahrain. The latter has been awarded an EPC contract for the offshore work. A contract for construction at the Bahrain end of the pipeline has yet to be awarded, according to a statement from Bapco. The cost of the pipeline will be met by nogaholding, an investment vehicle which holds the Bahraini government’s oil and gas assets. The new pipeline has been long talked about. Mirza told Reuters in March the pipeline would be ready in 2018, after officials had previously estimated completion by the third quarter of 2016.
The pipeline entered commercial operation in November 2018.

Ready to have your mind blown? Among the college-educated population in the U.S., the divorce rate is lower than it has been in 30 years – except for one category: people over 50. In fact, about one in four people going through a divorce is over 50. The trend is known as “gray divorce.”
Reasons for Gray Divorce
It’s true that many people over 50 are on their second and third marriages – which are typically less stable than first marriages. But more than 55 percent of gray divorces involve first-time splits for couples who have been married for more than 20 years.
While the divorce rate has stabilized or even lowered for just about every other demographic, the gray divorce rate has more than doubled since 1990. The reasons why include:
- Longer life spans. Medical technology has helped us enjoy longer lives than in previous times. Beyond living longer, we’re also healthier and more active for a longer time. Another component to the human psyche is that our interests, tastes, likes and dislikes are changing. When we’re 50 or 65, we’re a far different person than when we were in our 20s and 30s.
- Less of a stigma associated with divorce. By and large, divorce is accepted as a way of life for many in the U.S. Also, couples over 50 are usually past the child rearing stage and no longer feel they have to stay together “for the sake of the children.”
- Great self-respect. A study conducted by Rutgers University revealed that men and women who have been married for a long time look at marital problems in different ways.Speaking with more than 700 couples who have been together for 39 years or longer, researchers found that women tend to worry and experience depression and frustration over marital problems. Men, on the other hand, merely feel frustration – nothing more. Because 80 percent of divorces are initiated by women, it’s believed that women are becoming increasingly more confident in their ability to live on their own.

A pre-planned emergency exit is always useful for any karaoke singer who’s miserably and desperately free-falling in front of unknown song lyrics. We’ve all been there, trying to save face by mumbling through the words. Even some well-known songs may still get the best of us. Maybe it's the lyrics that are just a little too complex or simply some wacky word play instead of comprehensible text. Whatever the cause, here are six songs with misunderstood song lyrics.
Purple Haze as made famous by Jimi Hendrix
"S’cuse me while I kiss this guy" vs. "'Scuse me while I kiss the sky"
The title was released in 1967, in the middle of the Summer of Love, triggering a liberation of sexual mores. It’s wasn't intended to be LGBT friendly, but more so a flirtation with surrealism.
Unconditionally, as made famous by Katy Perry
"Air conditioner" vs. "Unconditionally"
When you use humor as Katy Perry often does, misunderstanding can occur in a brief moment of seriousness, like when this song takes a turn and evokes unconditional love. Listeners naturally find a way to hear "air conditioner," breaking all the poetry and romance of the moment.
Bohemian Rhapsody as made famous by Queen
"Saving his life from this warm sausage tea: vs. "Spare him his life from this monstrosity"
Is it the exoticism of this song full of Baroque terms such as "Fandango", "Scaramouche", "Galileo" that leads English speakers to use a simpler vocabulary that's more familiar like sausage and tea?
Good For You as made famous by Selena Gomez
"I’m farting carrots" vs. "I’m on my fourteen carats"
It is said that money has no smell, which must explain why some confuse "carrot farts" with "14 carats." In the former case, you’re rich in vitamin A, in the other, you're just plain rich.
Tiny Dancer as made famous by Elton John
"Hold me closer Tony Danza" vs. "Hold me closer tiny dancer"
It’s certainly one of the most famous auditory hallucinations we may come across when doing karaoke, but it is also the most zany. Just think, Elton John belting out the ballerina skills of the Italian-American actor in the 80s hit TV series Who's the Boss?.
You Oughta Know, as made famous by Alanis Morissette
"The cross-eyed bear that you gave to me" vs. "the cross I bear that you gave to me"
"A cross-eyed bear" or "a cross to wear": in either case, we suggest offering a bouquet of flowers or a box of chocolates, more traditional yes, but less risky as a gift.

Orlando "Cachaíto" López, the legendary Cuban bassist, died in a Havana hospital yesterday, after complications from a routine operation. Born in Havana in 1933, Cachaíto came from one of Cuba’s foremost musical dynasties, which included his father, Orestes López and uncle, Israel "Cachao" López, and he was considered by many as the finest bass player in the world. The "heartbeat of the Buena Vista Social Club," bass player Cachaíto was the only musician to have played on every album in the Buena Vista Social Club series.

Zoloft is used for treating depression or obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). It may be used to treat panic disorder or posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It may also be used to treat premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD; a severe form of premenstrual syndrome) or social anxiety disorder. Zoloft is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). It works by restoring the balance of serotonin, a natural substance in the brain, which helps to improve certain mood problems.

Update and News about the SVP Forecast
Last updated 8/19/2022 at 9:40am
Since our last article, many Borregans attended the August 5 Proposed Placement for Sexually Violent Predator Douglas Badger. There was a good turnout for the court review, with Borregans who arrived in person including neighbors, American Legion Commander, Borrego Springs Chamber of Commerce Board members, and others, along with the support by members of “Your Voice has Power” plus over 200 attendees, including members of Kid Safe California, attending by Zoom.
Congressman Darrell Issa, California Senator Brian Jones, and San Diego County District 5 Supervisor Jim Desmond started the morning by arriving at 8 a.m. to talk with Borregans attending the review, followed by a press conference at 8:30 a.m.
Compared with the court review two weeks ago, most attendees came away feeling that Judge Weathers paid attention to community concerns about harm to residents posed by the proposed placement, community safety, and the unsuitability of the remote desert community for housing any Sexually Violent Predator. Additionally, whereas Judge Gill offered no concern for a private school in the immediate area, this was an issue of concern for Judge Weathers.
Judge Weathers took notes during the testimony and delivered five issues that he wants the Deputy District Attorney and Liberty Healthcare by August 19. These are:
(1) Frequent power outages brought up by Supervisor Jim Desmond, and specifically how that impacts GPS and Geolocation.
(2) CA Welfare and Institutions Code 6608.5, concerning private schooling for children within ¼ mile of the property,
(3) Case of Jonathan L, regarding private schools and the CA Department of Education, DDA, brief the issue of homeschooling.
(4) Liberty to provide information on secure fencing, and security guards on the property.
(5) Liberty provides information regarding the lack of sidewalks and public transportation.
The Case of Jonathan L. is particularly relevant to the proposed placement of SVP Badger on Zuni Trail. In an Open Letter Regarding Homeschooling Legality, written by Caitlyn Obolsky in March 2015, an attorney member of the Homeschool Association of CA:
“Homeschooling is legal in California. It is NOT a gray area. It is NOT unclear whether it is legal. The California Court of Appeals reached a definitive decision in a case which personally involved attorneys from HSC, and many other organizations, interested parties, and homeschool advocacy groups… in the end homeschooling was definitively found to be a legal and established right of parents within California… Therefore, while the local educational agency is by no means required to verify a private school affidavit, if it does so decide, once that action is taken that is where the inquiry must end.”
After the hearing on 5 August, the Borrego Springs SVP Task Force provided additional information to the District Attorney’s Office to assist in their response to Judge Weathers. In the coming week, members of the Task Force will meet with District Attorney Summer Stephan and Deputy District Attorney Espinosa concerning opposition by the community and county for the ordered placement of Sexually Violent Predator Michael Martinez on Running M Road and other topics.
To continue this opposition, a Go Fund Me was established by the SVP Task Force to cover legal and other expenses including community road signs for children at play. The SVP Task Force is seeking to raise $25,000 to match funds granted by The Borrego Valley Endowment Fund (BVEF). Over $8,000 has been raised so far! Donations are tax deductible.
Also on August 19, there will be reviews for 2 additional Sexually Violent Predators in San Diego County. Locations have not yet been proposed, and the nature of the proceedings is closed. Their names are SVP Allen James and SVP William Stafford, both of whom are listed in the Megan’s Law database.
More to follow as the results of Liberty Healthcare and Deputy District Attorney Doyle’s briefs to Judge Weathers are known.

1. Answer A. Causes of deficient fluid volume include vomiting, diarrhea, conditions that cause increased respirations or increased urinary output, insufficient IV fluid replacement, draining fistulas, and the presence of an ileostomy or colostomy. A client with congestive heart failure or decreased kidney function, or a client receiving frequent wound irrigations, is at risk for excess fluid volume.
2. Answer D. Assessment findings in a client with a deficient fluid volume include increased respirations and heart rate, decreased central venous pressure (CVP), weight loss, poor skin turgor, dry mucous membranes, decreased urine volume, increased specific gravity of the urine, increased hematocrit, and altered level of consciousness. The normal CVP is between 4 and 11 cm H2O. A client with dehydration has a low CVP.
3. Answer B. The causes of excess fluid volume include decreased kidney function, congestive heart failure, the use of hypotonic fluids to replace isotonic fluid losses, excessive irrigation of wounds and body cavities, and excessive ingestion of sodium. The client taking diuretics, the client with an ileostomy, and the client who requires gastrointestinal suctioning are at risk for deficient fluid volume.
4. Answer C. Assessment findings associated with excess fluid volume include cough, dyspnea, crackles, tachypnea, tachycardia, an elevated blood pressure and a bounding pulse, an elevated CVP, weight gain, edema, neck and hand vein distention, altered level of consciousness, and a decreased hematocrit.
5. Answer B. Potassium-rich gastrointestinal fluids are lost through gastrointestinal suction, placing the client at risk for hypokalemia. The client with renal failure or Addison’s disease and the client taking a potassium-sparing diuretic are at risk for hyperkalemia.
6. Answer A. A serum potassium level lower than 3.5 mEq/L indicates hypokalemia. Potassium deficit is a common electrolyte imbalance and is potentially life threatening. Electrocardiographic changes include inverted T waves, ST segment depression, and prominent U waves. Absent P waves are not a characteristic of hypokalemia.
7. Answer D. Potassium chloride administered intravenously must always be diluted in IV fluid and infused via a pump or controller. The usual concentration of IV potassium chloride is 20 to 40 mEq/L. Potassium chloride is never given by bolus (IV push). Giving potassium chloride by IV push can result in cardiac arrest. Dilution in normal saline is recommended, but dextrose solution is avoided because this type of solution increases intracellular potassium shifting. The IV bag containing the potassium chloride is always gently agitated before hanging. The IV site is monitored closely because potassium chloride is irritating to the veins and the risk of phlebitis exists. The nurse monitors urinary output during administration and contacts the physician if the urinary output is less than 30 mL/hr.
8. Answer D. A serum potassium level higher than 5.1 mEq/L indicates hyperkalemia. Clients who experience cellular shifting of potassium in the early stages of massive cell destruction, such as with trauma, burns, sepsis, or metabolic or respiratory acidosis, are at risk for hyperkalemia. The client with Cushing’s syndrome or colitis and the client who has been overusing laxatives are at risk for hypokalemia.
9. Answer D. A serum potassium level higher than 5.1 mEq/L indicates hyperkalemia. Electrocardiographic changes include flat P waves, prolonged PR intervals, widened QRS complexes, and tall peaked T waves.
10. Answer B. Hyponatremia is evidenced by a serum sodium level lower than 135 mEq/L. Hyponatremia can occur in the client taking diuretics. The client taking corticosteroids and the client with renal failure or hyperaldosteronism are at risk for hypernatremia.
11. Answer C. Hyperactive bowel sounds indicate hyponatremia. Options A, B, and D are signs of hypernatremia. In hyponatremia, increased urinary output and decreased specific gravity of the urine would be noted. Dry skin occurs in deficient fluid volume.
12. Answer A. The normal serum calcium level is 8.6 to 10.0 mg/dL. A client with a serum calcium level of 4.0 mg/dL is experiencing hypocalcemia. The excessive ingestion of vitamin D and hyperparathyroidism are causative factors associated with hypercalcemia. End-stage renal disease, rather than renal insufficiency, is a cause of hypocalcemia. Prolonged bed rest is a cause of hypocalcemia. Although immobilization initially can cause hypercalcemia, the long-term effect of prolonged bed rest is hypocalcemia.
13. Answer A. Signs of hypocalcemia include paresthesias followed by numbness, hyperactive deep tendon reflexes, and a positive Trousseau’s or Chvostek’s sign. Additional signs of hypocalcemia include increased neuromuscular excitability, muscle cramps, twitching, tetany, seizures, irritability, and anxiety. Gastrointestinal symptoms include increased gastric motility, hyperactive bowel sounds, abdominal cramping, and diarrhea.
14. Answer C. Electrocardiographic changes that occur in a client with hypocalcemia include a prolonged ST or QT interval. A shortened ST segment and a widened T wave occur with hypercalcemia. Prominent U waves occur with hypokalemia.
15. Answer C. The normal magnesium level is 1.6 to 2.6 mg/dL. A magnesium level of 1.0 mg/dL indicates hypomagnesemia. In hypomagnesemia, the nurse would note tall T waves and a depressed ST segment. Options 2 and 4 would be noted in a client experiencing hypermagnesemia. Prominent U waves occur with hypokalemia.
16. Answer A. The normal serum phosphorus level is 2.7 to 4.5 mg/dL. The client is experiencing hypophosphatemia. Causative factors relate to malnutrition or starvation and the use of aluminum hydroxide–based or magnesium-based antacids. Malnutrition is associated with alcoholism. Hypoparathyroidism, tumor lysis syndrome, and renal insufficiency are causative factors of hyperphosphatemia.
17. Answer D. Clients experiencing nausea and vomiting would most likely present with metabolic alkalosis resulting from loss of gastric acid, thus causing the pH and HCO3– to increase. Symptoms experienced by the client would include hypoventilation and tachycardia.
18. Answer C. The normal serum amylase level is 25 to 151 units/L. With chronic cases of pancreatitis, the rise in serum amylase levels usually does not exceed three times the normal value. In acute pancreatitis, the value may exceed five times the normal value.
19. Answer B. The normal blood urea nitrogen level is 8 to 25 mg/dL. Values such as those in options C and D reflect continued dehydration. Option A reflects a lower than normal value, which may occur with fluid volume overload, among other conditions.
20. Answer C. Troponin is a regulatory protein found in striated muscle. The troponins function together in the contractile apparatus for striated muscle in skeletal muscle and in the myocardium. Increased amounts of troponins are released into the bloodstream when an infarction causes damage to the myocardium. A troponin T value that is higher than 0.1 to 0.2 ng/mL is consistent with a myocardial infarction. A normal troponin I level is lower than 0.6 ng/mL.
21. Answer C. The normal serum creatinine level for adults is 0.6 to 1.3 mg/dL. The client with a mild degree of renal insufficiency would have a slightly elevated level. A creatinine level of 0.2 mg/dL is low, and a level of 0.5 mg/dL is just below normal. A creatinine level of 3.5 mg/dL may be associated with acute or chronic renal failure.
22. Answer B. The normal prothrombin time (PT) is 9.6 to 11.8 seconds (male adult) or 9.5 to 11.3 seconds (female adult). A therapeutic PT level is 1.5 to 2.0 times higher than the normal level. Because the value of 35 seconds is high (and perhaps near the critical range), the nurse should anticipate that the client would not receive further doses at this time.
23. Answer D. The normal activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) varies between 20 and 36 seconds, depending on the type of activator used in testing. The therapeutic dose of heparin for treatment of deep vein thrombosis is to keep the aPTT between 1.5 and 2.5 times normal. Thus, the client’s aPTT is within the therapeutic range, and the dose should remain unchanged.
24. Answer C. The normal serum lipase level is 10 to 140 units/L. The client who is recovering from acute pancreatitis usually has elevated lipase levels for about 10 days after the onset of symptoms. This makes lipase a valuable test in monitoring the client’s pancreatic function because serum amylase levels usually return to normal 3 days after the onset of symptoms. Option C is the only option that contains a value just below the upper limit of normal.
25. Answer C. The normal hemoglobin level for an adult female client is 12 to 15 g/dL. Iron deficiency anemia can result in lower hemoglobin levels. Dehydration may increase the hemoglobin level by hemoconcentration. Heart failure and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease may increase the hemoglobin level as a result of the body’s need for more oxygen-carrying capacity.
