All of the children were wheeled into the school hall - some in chairs, some in bed. They all have profound and multiple learning disabilities, none have verbal communication and they are dependent on others for all of their primary care needs. The show began. 'Hello boys and girls!' 'You can do better than that, boys and girls! Say it louder, boys and girls!' and then, 'Clap your hands, boys and girls! Come on! That's it! Clap your hands!' My. Heart. Sank. I saw nothing but terror in the eyes of the performers. Most of the children were taken out of the hall before the end of the performance. The directors were sitting at the back of the hall checking e-bay for Christmas Elf costumes.
I don't blame the theatre company - these were talented young performers, with no training or expertese in working with this audience, and they'd been booked for a gig and they need to pay their rent. As far as the school is concerned, they are keen for their young people to have access to The Arts but what is available at the moment for schools for children with complex needs in Scotland is seriously lacking, and in my mind, most of it is a total waste of time and money for children, schools, and theatre companies alike.
Our aim with the Empty Pockets project was to do something about this, and use our combined knowledge to make something completely different, genuinely enjoyable and worthwhile for the young people it was made for. Our 2 week residency enabled us to consider every detail and possibility of the theatre piece in collaboration with the children, who taught us everything, and staff who gave us amazing and insightful feedback. Textures of props, colours, sound and volume, recorded voice or live voice, proximity and distance, interactive and passive experience, language, characterisation, level of conflict, vocalisation, silence, breath and space. All of these things were directly informed by testing and workshopping with children in their classrooms.
Where one theatre company might need the audience to be brought into a school hall, we wanted to develop a piece of quality theatre for the classroom to give the children a better chance of being relaxed and able to enjoy and participate in the experience. We wanted to make the ordinary extraordinary, and leave their everyday space bristling with a sense of magic and play.
Equally central to the project was to respect children's abilities (no 'clap your hands' to a room full of children who can't voluntarily move their hands) and empower them by making a performance that was truly affected by, and gave ample space for each individual’s reactions. We wanted to take risks and place our audience at the centre of the performance. Most of all, we wanted to engage with every child’s right to have an effect on the world, including on the world of play and make-believe.
I am so proud of the outcome, and feel passionately that this piece of theatre should have a long life touring schools in Scotland. Hopefully there will be some photos and maybe even a little film soon. It isn't something that can really be effectively described here.
Well. you can't ask for much more than that.

Over Easter we had fun painting with balloons for the first time thanks to I Heart Crafty Things, Balloon Printed Chicks. I love finding an activity that my two year old and four year old can do together, so we gave the balloon printing a little Earth Day twist and created our own Earth Day Prints.
To begin you’ll want to blow up your ballon and tie it. I didn’t blow ours up the whole way because I wanted it to be a good size for my son to grasp onto, so I blew it up small.
Then squirt some of your green paint and your blue paint onto a paper plate, this way it’s easy clean up.
Then as they take the balloon and stamp it onto the card stock paper the colors start to swirl together. My preschooler did one piece with separate stamps like the picture below, and then on another piece with a ton of stamps creating “One Gigantic Earth” as he called it.
Another fun way to do this craft is to add different colors and create the whole solar system using balloon stamping!

Oil of Wight is a cold pressed rapeseed oil made in Merstone on the Isle of Wight by Caroline Knox and her family.
In September the fields are prepared and the rapeseeds is planted. Through the autumn, winter and spring the crop is nurtured and cared for. By July (weather permitting!) the crop is ready to be harvested and stored. When ready to be pressed the seed is brought from storage and gently pressed; ensuring a fresh cold pressed oil is produced each time, with no need for heat or chemicals.
The brief was to produce an illustration for the new label design to replace Oil of Wight’s old label, along with a new logo consisting of a customised typeface.

How Chris Hadrill successfully represented an employee on a no win no fee basis in an Employment Tribunal whistleblowing claim and helped a client settle their claim for a five-figure sum.
Under the Employment Rights Act 1996, employees can make ‘whistleblowing’ claims if they are subjected to a detriment and/or dismissed because they have made protected disclosures to their employer (commonly known as ‘blowing the whistle’). Unlike unfair dismissal claims, employees do not need 2 years’ continuous employment to make a whistleblowing claim.
AB (whose identity has been anonymised for legal reasons) was employed by a charity. In 2014 he complained to his line managers that he did not believe that the charity had complied with data protection laws and that this failure had exposed him to harm from an alleged stalker. The charity investigated his complaint and he was suspended from work. AB was then subjected to an investigation over allegations that he had defrauded the charity and lengthened his suspension from work. Although the allegations of fraud against AB were subsequently dropped, AB was dismissed from his employment on allegations that he had been absent from work without leave. AB, however, believed that he had been dismissed because he had ‘blown the whistle’.
Redmans represented DS on a no win no fee basis in his claim (under a “Damage-Based Agreement”), with Chris Hadrill acting as the lead solicitor in the claim. Chris advised AB on all aspects of his claim and settled AB’s claim for a five-figure sum, the value of which cannot be disclosed for legal reasons.
Chris secured a five-figure sum in compensation for AB on a ‘no win no fee’ agreement, which meant that if AB had not win his claims then Redmans would not have been paid a fee.

If your child is about to start orthodontic treatment, chances are they’ll have a lot of questions. What will braces feel like? Will they hurt? Will they still be able to eat their favourite foods? What will their friends say?
It’s important both you and your child go into the treatment journey calm and confident. Here are five tips to help you prepare your child for getting braces, and put them at ease about the process.
There are plenty of options out there when it comes to orthodontic treatment, but it’s best to talk to your orthodontist about the most suitable options and treatment plan for your child. Usually metal braces are the best option for children and teens. As well as being reliable, they’re also a cost-effective way to straighten your child’s teeth, and your child can customise them with different colours.
Having an open discussion with your child about why they need braces and what it will achieve. Do some research together and encourage them to ask the orthodontist questions about the treatment plan and why it’s the best option for them.
It’s perfectly normal for children to feel nervous about having braces fitted. For starters, it’s likely to be the longest amount of time they’ll have ever spent in a dental chair! You can ease some of their nerves by letting them know that fitting metal braces is a very straightforward procedure. The small brackets are glued to their teeth and then connected with a thin wire before colourful elastic o-rings are placed over the top (if they want). They’ll need to come back for appointments with the orthodontist to have the wire adjusted, which will gradually straighten their teeth.
Your child might be worried that having their braces fitted will be painful. While they may feel a little discomfort while they’re getting used to the brackets, this will only last for a couple of days. If this is something your child experiences, we recommend Paracetamol (e.g. Panadol) or Ibuprofen (e.g. Nurofen) to manage any tenderness.
While having braces fitted shouldn’t be painful in itself, the light pressure the braces put on your child’s teeth might cause them some mild discomfort for the first couple of days. Soft foods like rice, pasta, ice cream, yoghurt or mashed potato, and liquid meals like soup will help to keep their energy up without having to chew too hard during the initial settling in period. Chilled foods also have the added benefit of soothing sore mouths, especially if the bracket starts to rub, so make sure your fridge is well-stocked!
While your child gets used to their braces, the brackets might irritate or cause sores on the inside of their mouth. Orthodontic wax (also known as ‘braces wax’ or ‘dental wax’) is an easy way to make your child’s braces more comfortable. Simply roll it in your fingertips to soften it, and then press it onto the part of the bracket that’s causing the problem. The wax will form a protective layer that stops the bracket from rubbing.
As well as keeping it on hand around the house, it’s a good idea to give your child their own supply. That way, if their brackets cause discomfort while they’re at school, playing sports or with their friends, they’ll be able to deal with it quickly and independently. Your orthodontist will usually provide as much wax as you need free of charge.
While a year or two might not seem a long time to adults, for a kid it can seem like forever. Gentle reminders that wearing braces is a temporary measure can help to build your child’s confidence. If your child is frustrated by the amount of time they’ll need to wear their braces, let them know that braces are meant to be a permanent fix, not a quick one. The main thing is that they know it’ll all be worth it in the long run, when they have straight teeth and a confident smile!

text: The anatomy of the head and neck is closely associated with the nervous system which plays an important role in the prognosis of head and neck cancer (HNC). However, the molecular interactions between these compartments and HNC remain poorly understood. We present a novel big data approach utilizing clinical data, sequencing, and machine learning to identify and validate potential molecular pathways by which the nervous system affects the development and progression of HNC. Our studies demonstrate across multiple datasets that perineural invasion (PNI) frequently occurs in HPV+ HNC. Furthermore, we show novel activating and missense mutations and pathways that may play important roles in the progression of HNC. We hypothesized that HPV+ cancers might be driven by different neurotrophic-associated genes and programs. We observed that neuroendocrine and neurotrophin signaling through the nerve growth factor receptor (NGFR) can be observed in differentiating HPV+ versus HPV- and PNI+ versus PNI- HNC. These observations may provide significant therapeutic targets for HNC.

• BSU won the 2004 College Hockey America championship this past weekend by sweeping Air Force and by virtue of Findlay’s sweep at Niagara.
• The CHA Championship will award BSU the R.H. “Bob” Peters Cup, named after BSU’s legendary head coach who won 702 games and 13 national titles for the Beavers from 1966-2001. Peters’ leadership was instrumental in founding College Hockey America in 1999.
• BSU received points in both major polls this week.
• BSU will set a CHA single-season record for wins against league foes with one win this weekend.
• Brendan Cook needs one point to tie BSU’s D I-era season scoring record (39).
• Bryce Methven will set BSU’s career record for games played (his 137th) on Friday.
Bemidji State (18-11-3 / 15-2-1 CHA) wraps up its 2003-04 regular season this weekend against the Niagara Purple Eagles (18-13-3 / 13-5-0 CHA) in a series which most college hockey pundits expected would be intense, with the College Hockey America regular-season title on the line. However, in a remarkable turn of events last weekend, BSU clinched its first conference title since elevating its program to Division I in 1999. The Beavers pounded Air Force beind a Division I-era record 16 goals for the weekend and tied its D I-era scoring mark in a 9-1 Game 2 win, while Niagara was shocked on its home ice by Findlay, dropping 6-2 and 8-3 decisions.
Still, there is much for the Beavers to play for this weekend. BSU has an opportunity to clinch its first 20-win season as a Division I program and with a single victory will set a CHA season record for most wins against league opposition.
The top four seeds in the 2004 CHA Tournament, to be held March 12-14 in Kearney, Neb., are set. BSU and Niagara have clinched the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds, respectively, and their requisite first-round byes. Ala.-Huntsville has clinched the No. 3 seed and Findlay will be seeded No. 4. Air Force and Wayne State are tied for fifth in the league and will settle the final seeds this weekend.
Bemidji State is in its fifth season of Division I play, continuing the evolution of a program which has assembled one of the finest traditions in college hockey and all of American collegiate sports. A small-college dynasty prior to its ascension to Division I status in 1999, the Beavers hold 13 NAIA, NCAA Division II and NCAA Division III national titles and have developed five NHL players, five Olympians and more than 80 All-America selections. Now in its 48th season of collegiate hockey, Bemidji State has compiled an all-time record of 847-383-69 (.679) and has the highest all-time winning percentage of the 58 programs which currently comprise NCAA Division I ice hockey.
• Third season at Bemidji State, third season as a collegiate head coach; 44-43-16 record.

Anni Purovuo – Thank you for the logo. I’m still amazed by your vision.
Huge thanks to Veikko Timonen, Leevi Kollanus and Emma Hilska for the great video.
Jenni my love, thank you for all support and for your critical eye. Love you!
It feels great that it’s out and ready to be explored. Now I have a place to share everything. We’ve been working on this webpage a few months now. It will continue to improve, but at some point (as hard as it is), I have to let it go. So have a look around and feel free to leave any comments.
New chapter and a few steps back to where I started.
Actually, at the same time when I’m writing this first blog post, I realized it’s exactly five (impressive) years since I published my first site. But I admit, it was already time to build something new from scratch.
Five years, man, it’s a long time. And also the best time of my life. I have learned so much about myself. All the ups and downs. All the feelings and moments. Without those, I could not be here.
Now I feel excited again, and I'm very proud of this.
This is the site that I truly believe in. It serves my philosophy of life and photography just the way I want. Here I’m going to share a lot of information and photos as I did when I first started. I’ve been missing that more than I imagined.
I remember when I started how excited I was. Everything was new, and I was ready to share all. Then I let my fear and voices to decide what I’m going to publish and what not. It pretty much ate the whole thing. With this site, I went back and started over. Share more and help others.

A Congolese-Rwandan force has killed nine Rwandan Hutu rebels in Congo over the last two days, Congo said on Saturday, in a further sign of cooperation between the two former foes.
Yet Kinshasa also said Rwanda had not responded to its calls to extradite Congolese Tutsi rebel leader Laurent Nkunda, whose arrest in Rwanda was seen as part of the agreement that allowed Kigali, a former occupying force, to send troops back to Congo.
The fighting is the first reported clash the joint force has had with the Rwandan Hutu FDLR rebels since Kinshasa let in more than 3,500 Rwandan soldiers this week to hunt for the rebels, some of whom took part in Rwanda's 1994 genocide.
General John Numbi, the Congolese commander of eastern operations, reported fighting with the FDLR in five villages on Friday and Saturday. "On the side of the FDLR, nine elements were killed," he said in a statement on Saturday.
One Congolese soldier had been wounded, Numbi said.
Nkunda rejected peace deals that ended Congo's 1998-2003 war, which killed five million people and saw Rwanda back anti-Kinshasa rebels, leading a five year rebellion instead.
The United States said his arrest on Thursday in Rwanda was a "step on the road to peace" but it has been met with both relief and doubts amongst Congolese civilians.
Nkunda and his fighters are accused of mass killings, rapes and the recruitment of child soldiers. International Criminal Court prosecutors have a war crimes arrest warrant for Bosco Ntaganda, Nkunda's deputy who led a split with Nkunda.
The ICC has declined to say whether Nkunda would be prosecuted but Congo was quick to call for his extradition from Rwanda, which U.N. experts said backed Nkunda as recently as last year.
"We are waiting for the Rwandans to contact us on this," Congolese Information Minister Lambert Mende said on Saturday.
Analysts say bringing Nkunda back to Congo for trial could help Kabila sell the joint force agreement to a population still wary of Rwandan intervention after years of occupation that brought accusations of plundering.
One Western diplomat told Reuters on Saturday the Rwandans might be trying to backtrack on the agreement now. Rwandan officials may fear a trial will expose the country's links to Nkunda or complicate the ongoing military operations, he said.
Reactions to Nkunda's arrest have been mixed on the ground.
"I heard it (Nkunda's arrest) on the radio. But I haven't seen him yet, and I don't know if it is true," said Bagambe Rushago, who now lives in a sprawling city of banana leaf huts which sprang up during Nkunda's advance on Goma last year.
"I hope it's true. That would be a good thing," he added.
After numerous false dawns, including 2006 polls which were meant to usher in an era of peace after Congo's last war and amid uncertainty over Nkunda's fate, others are more doubtful.
"I'm not sure it will end the war. As long as the people who supported him are still there, a new Nkunda could still be born," said Innocent Gasigwa, another camp resident.

Any H1B visa Sponsoring Consultants for Biology Graduates?
Hi, I have completed my MS in biology from Virginia Tech. But currently I am on H4 visa and have tough time for finding H1 sponsors. Although I got couple of job offers, no one is ready to sponsor H1. Can you please let me know if there are any h1b consultants for biology graduates?
You must know the challenges of finding a job and H1B Visa by now.
Employers will not be willing to apply for H1B visa 6 months in advance.
Consulting companies are your only bet.
But, those days are gone.
These days, H1B Visa sponsoring consultants for IT is hard to find.
Forget about H1B visa Sponsoring Consultants for Biology Graduates.
Even if you find a consultant they will ask you find a job (even a contract) then use that to apply for H1B, provided H1B quota is still available.
If I were you, I would have converted to F1 student visa. That should have give you option to use OPT and then apply for H1B.
You may want to try for a job in nearby Universities that will come under cap-exempt H1B.
Do post your comments to this post, if you happen to find a consultant who sponsors H1B for Biology graduates.

We were recently asked to look at a woodworking site. The quality of woodworking capabilities that was displayed was amazing, but unfortunately the site was not doing these artists any good.
The site wasn’t bad, but it needed a lot more content. If you turned off the images on the site, you had no idea what is was that they did. Yes, a picture is worth a thousand words, but the search engines are blind when it comes to pictures.
Their content needed to describe what it is was that they did and what it is that they do differently. More detail on the designs and possibilities. More detail on quality of of the work that they does.
Seeing the amazing work that they do, they should have been relying heavily on showing previous projects and especially testimonials from customers.
Tragically, the only page that had any amount of text on it was one page about some of the special equipment that they use. Since that encompassed most of the text on their site, the search engines probably catalog the site as a manufacturer or distributor of the equipment, not artists that use the equipment.
This site also had a link to a glowing article about them. This article went into detail as to what they did. We recommended that they include the text of the article on their site. You never know when an article will go away. Plus, there was all that wonderful text about what they actually did that needed to be on their site. It was doing them no good to have it as an outbound link.

“Theism vs Non-Theism” or Quaker Spirit?
I recently came across this post on Sam Barnett-Cormack’s (Quaker) Openings blogspot website: https://quakeropenings.blogspot.com/2018/01/theism-vs-non-theism.html and felt it worth drawing attention to it here.
The piece is quite wordy (and Sam says “Verbosity is not a virtue, but a tendency towards excessive brevity can do a surprising amount of damage.”) but tries to get to grips with, as one might say, ‘the heart of the matter’.
But he also says “We can explain our experiences and understanding of the Divine without it being an attempt to convince or exclude others.” and whilst this may be true, I certainly know ‘non-theist’ Friends who will have no truck with the ‘Divine’.
But then again, that is surely just a matter of ‘words’ – isn’t it?
How do Friends, Quakers, theists, non-theists or whatever, feel about ‘Spirit’? Is this ‘Holy’? Is spirit or inspiration just a matter of breath? Is the Inner Light Winstanley’s ‘light of pure reason’ or something else altogether? The spirit of Christ? Human spirit?
The last mentioned spirit (page) ends with “And, whilst we are talking of it; in the light of the BBC question “So what is the difference between Quakerism and Mindfulness today?” Should not a simple answer suffice, e.g. Quakerism has at its root a belief in the Divine i.e. God-centric, whereas Mindfulness has at its root “Knowing directly what is going on inside and outside ourselves, moment by moment.” i.e self-centric.
Elsewhere on the site (under Modern Quakers) we find “Your teacher is inside you, don’t look outside. It will teach you wherever you are.” (quoting Rex Ambler paraphrasing George Fox) and “The light is what enables you to see. This light enlightens you, it shows you when you do something wrong. (For me, this is the light of awareness, mindfulness)” and “We believe that we all have an inward teacher. This inward teacher can be found in the still silence. This inward teacher is “that of God” (or whatever name you wish to call that which is beyond all names, I like the term True Self). ” (Self-centric?).
That’s seven groups implicitly associated and a page about a proposed Quaker Spirit Gathering (for summer 2021?) says: “When first distributed to our ‘Other Groups’ a very encouraging set of replies was received. Read them here.” There are eight replies but none of them is explicitly associated with any of those seven groups.
I can’t help wondering if this is an ‘inclusive Spirit’ or an exclusive one?
In the end then, what Friends think, believe or experience of the ‘spirit’ might be a matter of some significance.

After a well-received appearance in the final season of WB's seminal superhero series Smallville, the popular DC character Booster Gold is returning to the small screen in his own TV show for the Syfy channel.
The series is being headed up by Greg Berlanti's production company, Berlanti Productions. Comic book fans might recall that Greg Berlanti is no stranger to the DC Universe. He created the superhero family drama No Ordinary Family and also wrote and produced Green Lantern (though you shouldn't hold that against him). Comic book and TV scribe Andrew Kreisberg, who has written for Fringe, has signed on to write the pilot episode of the show.
Having his own TV show w0uld be a fitting development for Booster Gold, whose gimmick involves being a fame-hungry time traveler who uses future technology to become a modern-day superhero. Booster Gold was played by Eric Martsolf in Smallville, and alongside fellow superhero Blue Beetle proved to be popular with fans. Gold was also an important character in DC's Flashpoint comic book event, which preceded the company's New 52 relaunch.
The Hollywood Reporter, which first reported the news, notes that Syfy has only ordered a script for the show, not a full pilot. However, given the potential for the character, as well as the overwhelming popularity of comic book properties with mainstream audiences, I wouldn't be surprised to see Syfy move forward with the series, eventually.
While I've liked him as comic relief, I've never been a big fan of Booster Gold as a serious character. He's definitely grown on me over the last year though, because of his unique backstory. The concept of a flashy, egotistical superhero from the future has a lot of potential for a TV series, particularly because, as THR writes, "the future doesn’t happen without first protecting the present."
To those Booster Gold fans out there, what would you like to see in this TV series? Would you tune into Syfy to check out the character?

I have colleagues who spend a lot more time pursuing Internet leads than I do, and then downloading them for comment or interest. One recent site that caught my eye was “expastors.com”. One entry was entitled, “Did God call me or did I get it wrong”? Wow, what a question to ponder! It is something I have asked many times over my 18 years of pastoral ministry. But when the writer asks this final question, “Did you hear the call of God”, my wondering ceases. The answer is: YES! I do what I do today with an unshakeable sense of God’s call on my life.
This sense of call helps through all the times I am tempted to focus upon the fears, frustration and failures that come my way. Another Internet site I linked to recently declared “14 Things a Pastor Should never hear”. One respondent said, “I’ve heard them all.” My response: I may have heard them, and considered them once, but I cannot remember them. The negatives – although real – are not a place I choose to live in. I choose to live remembering the call of God, how it impacted me once and how it continues to do so today. I am what I am, live where I live and do what I do, because of God’s call.
My story begins in a Nazarene parsonage 47 years ago. I watched my Dad with admiration, as so many children do, but I wondered about his life. He was often meeting people, and some of them weren’t very nice. He was frequently busy in the office. And on Sundays he would be up the front of church talking to a gathering of people. There were times when he was not available to family because he was ‘working’. We learned to share him with others, not fully realising the needs that were being met at those times. The conviction grew in my mind that I would never be a pastor: talking publicly, on call 24/7, studying alone for hours on end. Who would want a job where you are expected to perform at any time and so much of what you do is in the public eye? Not much fun in that job! Never mind that as I hit my teenage years, put on weight, needed glasses and began to suffer some low self-esteem; I really did not think I had anything to offer anyone else anyway.
In the days following the youth summer camp of 1984, God spoke. I had come to know His voice some years earlier when He convicted me of my personal sin and my need to repent and start to live for Him. At the 1984 camp I had been spiritually renewed and I took to the Bible in earnest in the following days. I began to read the Book of Hebrews, devouring it and its message about the awesomeness of Jesus. Yes, yes, I thoughtfully declared, it is all about Jesus; honouring Jesus. Into chapter 7, another precious statement of my Saviour: “You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek (Hebrews 7: 17).” And something in that text grabbed me. My eyes remained rooted onto that sentence and something told me, this is important, and this is for you. My understanding was limited (I did not even know who Melchizedek was!) but my heart was being filled. When I finally shook off the fixation, I read on: “The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind: you are a priest forever” (Heb. 7: 21).” And it happened again. What did this mean? As the days went by I slowly was able to send the experience away from my conscious awareness to finally forget all about it. Until….
Six months later, I attended another youth event with great times in sport, fellowship and spiritual growth. All was good for me until the final evening service. It was a call to Christian service and as I listened to the speaker, God reminded me of Hebrews 7 and that summer evening. I had already dismissed the message as not for me – what could I do for the Lord: short, overweight and be-spectacled? But that night, God called, and I answered. He told me He was calling me to be a priest forever, and I said, OK. I gave my word to the Lord then, and I have not taken it back.
I need that certainty. I have needed it often in hard, painful times of pastoral work. There have been accusations made of abilities, my motivations and me. Demands of the ministry have been often difficult. I have made mistakes in speech and actions. I have over-worked. I have under-worked. I have thought I could inspire others when I myself was not. I thought I needed to be an example to others while I struggled. I did not practice what I preached. I identify with the Twyla Paris song, “The Warrior is a Child”. Sometimes I still feel weak, unable, overwhelmed, helpless, lost, mistaken and worthless. But I know I am called. And God replaced my fears of the pastorate with enthusiasm. To talk to people, to study and pray, to dream dreams, to preach, is not easy, but now a privilege rather than a stumbling point.
My sense of call is the frame of the shield of faith I can hold up when tempted to consider mistakes and failures. I know that gifts and graces for ministry need to be evident and I am grateful for what I have learned and received. I am committed to being a life-long learner. I want to grow. But beyond abilities, God has my heart and obedience. From there it is just a matter of being constantly available and listening.

If you didn’t have the MMR vaccine before you became pregnant, and are not immune to measles, keep well away from anyone who has, or may have, the virus. This also means avoiding areas where there has been a measles outbreak.
Measles is a nasty disease and is highly infectious. It spreads easily when people cough and sneeze, as tiny droplets containing the virus spray into the air. You can also catch measles through touching the skin of someone who has it.
your baby to be stillborn or die shortly after being born.
If you’ve been near someone who has measles, and think that you are not immune to the virus, see your GP immediately. If it is confirmed that you’re not immune to measles, your doctor may give you an injection of normal human immunoglobulin (NHIG). You may be given the injection ahead of receiving the results if there is a delay expected.
NHIG is safe for you and your baby, and makes measles symptoms less severe for you. However, there’s no evidence that it will reduce the risk that measles poses to your baby.
Unfortunately, you can’t be vaccinated against measles while you’re pregnant. The vaccination contains a live virus, which could be harmful to your baby. So you will need to wait until you have had your baby before you can have the MMR vaccine. Be reassured that it’s safe to have the MMR vaccine if you are breastfeeding your baby.
In the meantime, be aware of the symptoms of measles, so you can spot the illness as early as possible.
Early symptoms of measles are similar to a cold with a fever, with a cough, red eyes and tiny spots in the mouth. A red-brown spotty rash appears a couple of days later, and will last for about a week. You may not even know that you have measles until between six days and 21 days after you first catch it, though symptoms usually show within about 10 days.
If it’s found that you do have measles in pregnancy, your medical team will give you the care you need. You may be offered extra scans to check that your baby is well.

Jewellery is one of my great loves, and was the main reason I started this blog. I wanted to use the space as a place to store my finds. So I couldn’t help but be instinctively drawn to a collection of string pendant lamps by South African product designer Candice Lawrence. Inspired by the beaded layers of traditional African jewellery, the African Woven Necklace Lamp Shade features three interconnected circular hoops each punctuated with colourful bands of hand wrapped thread.
In a preview of its forthcoming collaboration with African designers IKEA introduces ÖVERALLT a limited edition collection of tableware, textiles, and seating inspired by the modern rituals across all cultures that punctuate everyday life, what we do and use to make us feel at home. The collection was developed by ten designers from seven African countries partnered with IKEA’s team of designers.
It’s cold here at the moment, and when the temps dip towards the minus figures, it’s all I can do not to spend the days hibernating, drinking tea and snuggled under a blanket for some much-needed warmth.

modmove | Check out the trailer for the upcoming Australian film Me and My Left Brain!
Arthur, who suffers from OCD, has spent the last few months spending time with Helen – but he doesn’t know where he stands with her.
Are they friends? More than friends? Or potentially more than friends? With the help of his vivacious next-door-neighbor Vivien, Arthur assembles the courage to ring Helen to find out once and for all where he stands with her. Only one problem: Helen doesn’t answer.
And so begins a long night of tossing and turning where Arthur, whilst adopting a variety of methods in an attempt to get to sleep, reflects on the time he has spent with Helen and dissects every moment of their time together to determine whether she is legitimately interested in him or not. Whilst in this deep reflective analysis, Arthur bickers with his opposing inner-voice(represented by another actor), who is extremely opinionated on this particular night.
Me and My Left Brain is in Australian Cinemas May 16!

General policy at Starlight Theatre is that all events are held rain or shine, with the exception of severe/dangerous weather.
Guest safety is our primary concern. We encourage all Starlight guests to dress for potential weather changes. Umbrellas are not admitted into the venue for concerts. Ponchos may be purchased for $1 at Starlight’s Guest Information kiosks, Ovation gift shop and both ticket offices.
When severe weather conditions exist in close proximity to Starlight, we may choose to delay a performance for an hour or more before deciding to cancel or continue. If a weather-related delay is needed during a performance, we will communicate decisions to the audience via Starlight’s public address system, event staff, Twitter and at kcstarlight.com/weatherupdates.
Starlight’s covered walkways are not considered lightning-safe and should not be used for shelter during severe weather. The safest and only places for guests to take shelter during severe weather are INDOORS in a public space or INSIDE their own vehicles. Guests who take shelter in their cars will be allowed to re-enter the venue once severe weather has passed.
Broadway Shows and Starlight Indoors: Guests may exchange their tickets at no charge for another performance of the same show. The face value of the ticket will be applied to the new performance. Refunds are not available to guests who elect to apply the value of their ticket to a lower-priced event or seating section. To make an exchange, call Starlight Ticket Services at 816.363.7827 on the day following a cancellation. If seats are not available for another performance or if it is the last night of a production, we will provide additional options.
Concerts: Due to the complexities of rescheduling concert tours, it may take several days or more before a new show date may be announced. Concert ticket holders should retain their original tickets for a refund or to use at a rescheduled performance.
Tickets purchased directly from Starlight Ticket Services (by phone, in person or through www.kcstarlight.com) may be returned for a refund of ticket price only. Tickets will only be exchanged or reprinted for the purchaser on record. Guests who purchase from the secondary ticket market must contact the seller directly.

The following collection of alumnae is a brief sampling from the more than 10,000 women who have come through Columbia College in the past 25 years. They are not the most esoteric, the most celebrated or, in a word that seldom makes sense in relation to a Columbia grad, the most “overachieving.” They merely give a glimpse of how so many women students have come through Columbia’s gates, flourished in its community and made their way in multifarious careers and lives.
Susan Kraham ’87, ’92L was drawn to the College by its political science and international affairs programs. (Initially she was interested in Barnard, “just to be near Columbia,” before the College went coed the year she applied.) Instead of joining the foreign service, however, Kraham’s career has taken several twists, with her returning to campus twice more, first for a law degree, and this year as a faculty member at the Law School.
“My undergraduate education didn’t prepare me to ‘do’ anything, but prepared me to learn how to do anything I wanted to do,” Kraham says.
After graduation, Kraham worked at a community development organization in Brooklyn and got a master’s in urban planning from NYU. The urban redevelopment issues got most interesting when they went into litigation, she says. To further her involvement, Kraham went to the Law School, she says, “with the intent of doing land use and commercial development issues.” (During grad school she also met her eventual husband, Adam Joseph ’92 Business, with whom she now has three sons.) Kraham’s experiences in the Child Advocacy Clinic at the Law School and during a summer Human Rights Internship in Nairobi inspired her to work more specifically on the social justice side of urban development.
After clerking for a justice on the New Jersey Supreme Court, Kraham was awarded a Skadden Fellowship and pursued public interest work and civil rights litigation. She looked for a way to work on environmental justice and land use issues, and found it as a clinical professor at Rutgers in the Environmental Law Clinic, where she supervised law students in live cases. After eight years there, Kraham became in-house counsel at the New Jersey Audubon Society, where she fought not only for habitat preservation but also for preserving urban open spaces. “People who live in cities need open space, too,” she says. Kraham’s interest in the relationship between food and the environment led her to work on community-supported agriculture projects and species-sensitive farming practices.
Missing students and litigation, she returned to Columbia as senior staff attorney at the Environmental Law Clinic, where again she is melding urban development and social justice issues. One project Kraham supervises involves working with the Human Rights Clinic on the impact of climate change on the global right to food.
“One of the things that drew me back here is the intellectual community and the range of people on campus working on interesting things and using their intellectual abilities to do good,” she says.
Kraham lives in Maplewood, N.J., where she is active in community service; she ran the kosher food pantry at her synagogue for three years.
During college, Austin-Léon belonged to the city-wide chapter of sorority Alpha Kappa Alpha and was active on campus in the Black Students’ Organization and Haitian Students Association. After graduation, she worked at a doctor’s office for a couple of years before going to SUNY Downstate College of Medicine to become a pediatrician, and earned a master’s from the Mailman School of Public Health through an academic fellowship. Austin-Léon practices academic medicine at SUNY Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn, where she teaches medical students and residents and sees patients as a general pediatrician.
Austin-Léon previously was associate director of a family-based obesity program at SUNY Downstate for pediatric patients ages 5–18 that brought them together with nutritionists, psychologists and exercise specialists. Three years ago she also activated, and still directs, the “Reach Out and Read” program at SUNY, where patients between the ages of 6 months and 5 years receive free books at every wellness visit.
Austin-Léon lives in Brooklyn with her husband, Rodney Léon, an architect who designed the memorial at the African Burial Ground National Monument in lower Manhattan, and their daughters, Alexandria, 8, and Saniyah, 5.
Tami Luhby ’92, ’97J wanted to be a journalist since working on her high school newspaper at Horace Mann School in Riverdale. It was reporting for Columbia’s Spectator one summer that brought her to the College.
When she got to campus, Luhby went to the Journalism School hoping to take classes there, but was sent away until senior year. Instead of classroom training, she got on-the-job experience working for four years at The Riverdale Press.
Luhby entered the School of Journalism as a bona fide grad student in 1996, then returned to her native Bronx, where she still resides, and became a business journalist to stay in New York. After working for eight years — six of them as a personal finance columnist — at what she describes as her “dream job” at Newsday on Long Island, she moved last year to CNNMoney.com, where she is a senior writer “covering the biggest story of the times,” she says.
As an undergrad, Luhby says she “hung out at the J-school as much as possible.” Now a seasoned professional, she still goes there regularly, to teach reporting/writing and Columbia News Service as an adjunct.
When her friend Dina Feivelson ’91 was diagnosed with cancer, it inspired Luhby to train for a marathon and raise money for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Luhby has since completed seven marathons and three half-ironman triathlons.
Jessica Zimmerman ’95’s criteria for choosing a college were that it had to have programs for marine biology, Czech language and Judaic studies. The Californian had never been to the East Coast when her high school guidance counselor told her, “You belong at Columbia.” From the time she visited, Zimmerman says she was home.
As part of fulfilling the science requirement, Zimmerman took a class called “Earth, Moon and Planets” with professor of astronomy Joseph Patterson. She says she quickly found herself in over her head: “I couldn’t do the math or physics, couldn’t do the problem sets, I was basically failing the class.” Still, she mustered the courage to ask Patterson how she could land the gig as his research assistant at an observatory in Chile. To Zimmerman’s surprise, he called her with an offer for her to travel there during winter break, saying her enthusiasm and interest in learning were more important than the academic preparation.
Laura Kaufman ’97 came to the College because her acceptance package contained a letter inviting her to become a Rabi Scholar. It explained that the University was trying to attract the best science students and outlined the privileges and opportunities she would have as a Rabi Scholar, including summer housing and a stipend to pursue research.
The late chemistry professor Brian Bent invited Kaufman to work in his lab after she had taken just one year of general chemistry. She says, “I quickly realized, ‘Oh, I do like this!’ ” Kaufman continued in Bent’s lab for several years and majored in chemistry, with a concentration in English. After graduate school at UC Berkeley and postdoctoral work at Harvard, she returned to campus in 2004 as an assistant professor. “This was my dream job upon leaving the College,” she says.
Coming full circle, Kaufman joined the Rabi Scholarship Faculty Committee, an endeavor that requires reviewing hundreds of applications to the College to help select the approximately 10 Rabi Scholars in each class. “I feel that the program is responsible for making me into a scientist, and it’s important to give others that same opportunity,” says Kaufman, who was for one year the committee’s interim chair.
She also perpetuates the development of emerging scientists by giving undergraduates research positions in her lab, where she works on supercooled liquids and biopolymer gels. Undergraduate and graduate students frequently seek out Kaufman as a mentor. “I’m approachable, and part of what makes me approachable is I’m a woman, and young — and being small doesn’t hurt,” she says.
Kaufman is married to chemistry professor David Reichman, and they have a 2-year-old daughter.
Like other students drawn to Columbia and New York, Lopez took advantage of opportunities both at school and in the city to indulge various interests. She took a year off before her sophomore year to study piano, and later took a semester off to spend time in Rio de Janeiro, where she interned at a museum and took classes at an art school. During her senior year, Lopez had a studio in the visual arts department, as the art majors did.
Lopez has been a full-time artist since then, living and working in a loft in Brooklyn creating drawings, prints and installations, and teaching at Bard and other local colleges. She returned to Columbia for an M.F.A. and travels frequently for shows, visiting artist programs at schools and informal getaways to gain fresh perspectives. Lopez’s work has been exhibited at galleries in New York, at MoMA, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center in Queens, and in Minneapolis, Little Rock, Mexico City and elsewhere.
Chelsea Wald ’00 was attracted to Columbia by the Core Curriculum and “the opportunity to learn about lots of different things,” she says. Initially conflicted as to whether to pursue science or humanities, she incorporated both into her career and keeps up the spirit and practice of the Core as a science reporter.
For two years, in Washington, D.C., Wald produced a one-minute radio show, “Science Update,” for the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Five shows a week were distributed to commercial radio stations and on iTunes. “It was about trying to communicate complicated information in a compelling way in a very short amount of time,” she says. “It definitely made me a better writer.” It also required reporting on science broadly, including not only astronomy but also physics, biology, math, sociology, health and even economics.
Hometown: Dominican Republic and Bronx, N.Y.
While a student, Yscaira Jimenez ’03 loved that there always was a show, concert, comedy or reading to attend on campus. After graduation, she moved back to the Bronx but kept migrating to far-away neighborhoods to find the same rich offering of cultural events. Jimenez tired of the late-night traveling, however, and the year after graduation, when she earned a bonus from the education company where she worked, decided to pursue an entrepreneurial venture and establish an arts and cultural center close to home.
Four years later, her vision came to life as La Pregunta Arts Café on Amsterdam Avenue, across from City College. “I thought, ‘If I fail, I can start over,’ ” says Jimenez, who as an undergrad belonged to the Columbia Organization for Rising Entrepreneurs.
The original concept of a cultural and arts club has expanded to a café and organizing outside events. “I didn’t expect to be in the restaurant management business or to spin off into catering and events management,” she says.
Jimenez says she regrets not having taken advantage more fully of Columbia’s resources for entrepreneurs while a student. “For anyone who has even an inkling of entrepreneurial desire, they’re probably in the best place in the world to explore that,” she says.
After a two-year leave to develop her business, Jimenez returned to the education company she worked at previously and keeps her day job there in business development. She also practices Capoeira, Afro-Brazilian martial arts.
When Tze Chun ’06 came to Columbia from Boston, she thought she might become a dancer after college … or a fashion designer … or a chef.
After graduation, Chun figured she was prepared to do two things: open a bar or start a dance company. She chose in 2006 to found Tze Chun Dance Company, a modern company with 18 dancers, in Brooklyn. Chun choreographs works that the company performs at theaters and festivals around New York City. The company is preparing for its first international tour next spring.
“Being a dance major in New York is amazing,” Chun says. “You get so much exposure to the newest, most innovative choreography, less than a 30-minute subway ride away.” Chun grew up doing some traditional Chinese dancing, and at Columbia studied modern dance and explored ways to combine the styles.
Chun says that Columbia’s American studies program influences her choreography. “It has a lot to do with the immigrant experience and the hyphenated experience,” she says. “A lot is related to literature or films I watched while at the College.” Chun also is incorporating elements of tango that she researched during six weeks spent in Argentina last year on a Jerome Foundation grant.
With her brother, Tze-Ngo Chun ’02, a filmmaker, Chun also is working on a book about their mother’s growing up in Singapore in the ’50s and ’60s.

REX DAC demonstrates how lifelike and involving digital playback can be when done to the nines. This reference-setting instrument’s audiophile credentials arise from state-of-the-art engineering in both the digital and analog domains. The digital design, from Andreas Koch, runs at an extraordinarily high clock rate to allow for the gentlest and least-intrusive filter at its output. The analog design, from Victor Khomenko, is a high-current vacuum-tube output stage that alone would exceed the performance of most reference tube preamplifiers. The marriage of these designs conveys the most natural, analog-like rendition of digital recordings.
Capable of world-class performance, Balanced Audio Technology’s six-tube REX rewrites what’s possible in DAC design and sound. Combining an Andreas Koch-devised digital end that runs at an extraordinarily high clock rate and a Victor Khomenko-engineered analog side with a high-current vacuum-tube output stage, the zero-global-feedback REX brings previously unheard levels of warmth, naturalism, and emotionalism to the digital field. BAT’s trademarked Unistage technology, tube current sources, C-multipliers, and amorphous-core transformers complement massive power supplies boosted with two toroidal transformers, a transformer-coupled output stage, and a filter with gentle, unobtrusive roll-off. Whether your flavor runs toward 384kHz PCM or all the way to 11.2MHz DSD, REX DAC will make your music roar with life.
REX DAC’s analog output stage follows the Balanced Audio Technology purist approach of using zero negative feedback to achieve the desired goals of wide bandwidth and circuit linearity. No buffers or followers are used anywhere in the signal path. REX DAC also features a high-current output stage with a total of six 6C19 vacuum tubes. One pair of 6C19 tubes serves as current sources for the power supply of the elegant, trademarked Unistage design. Just as in BAT’s REX II preamplifier, REX DAC employs amorphous-core transformers for output coupling. You’ll find no capacitors in the signal path.
BAT’s goal for REX DAC was to create the most compellingly natural reproduction of the musical source. Ringing from filters that provide a perceived albeit false excitement in musical playback have no place in REX DAC’s design. Instead, the proprietary DAC module runs at an ultra-high clock rate while employing custom filters to reconstruct the analog signal in a way that specifically complements REX DAC’s unique high-current vacuum-tube output stage.

There are times when you have to remove a tooth. Sometimes a baby tooth has formed wrong, or has long roots that prevent it from falling out as it would normally, and the tooth has to be taken out to make room for the permanent tooth to come out. At other times, a tooth might be so decayed and rotted, that it puts the surrounding teeth at risk of decay, so your doctor at 46030 Dentistry may recommend replacing it with a bridge or implant. Infection, misalignment of the teeth, or problems with a wisdom tooth can also demand the removal of a tooth.

I'm an artist travelling extensively for inspiration!
From my 2013 solo exhibition.
People, diverse cultures, and the natural world are recurring themes in my art. While realistic in nature, my work represents my interpretation of what I see. Always present is my love of detail: objects, buildings, settings, and individuals that touch and move me.
I portray the essence of my surroundings primarily in pen and ink drawings. In a century full of colour and technology, my hand-drawn black and white work stands apart. On occasion, however, colour enters into my work in the form of watercolours.
Finally, I'm an urban sketcher. I established the Muscat sketchers and recently the Colchester Sketchers. My sketchbook is my constant companion.
For me, it's important to create opportunities for others to share my love of art, which is why I arrange sketching events and give school talks. More importantly, I like to use my art and organisational skills to raise funds for charities, whether through my annual fundraiser or by donating work.
Member of: Colchester Art Society, Essex Network of Artists’ Studios (ENAS), and The Omani Society for Fine Arts.
Commissions for illustrations and visual art are taken.

This 5-Day/4-Night tour allows you to experience many of the popular attractions in the Torres del Paine National Park.
The trip is ideal for travelers who enjoy trekking into the wilderness. You'll spend overnights in cozy domes at EcoCamp and in mountain refugios. The domes at EcoCamp have comfortable beds, measure 108 sqft, are energy efficient, and have beautiful local decor.
Group Departures: This trek departs every Sunday from October to mid-April.
Private Departures: This trek departs every day from October to mid-April for groups of 2 or more.
The trip starts in Punta Arenas city during the morning either at your hotel or at the airport arrive before 12:30pm). From Punta Arenas we drive to the Torres del Paine National Park. During summer the sun sets around 11 pm, so as you drive in you'll have plenty of light to admire the Patagonian steppe with its guanaco and snow-peaked mountain horizon. On the way to the park we'll stop in Puerto Natales on the shores of Seno Ultima Esperanza - "Last Hope Sound". Here you'll enjoy a hearty lunch with delicious local food. We'll also visit the Cueva de Milodon, a massive prehistoric cave where the remains of a giant ground sloth were discovered in the 1890s. The surrounding area is very scenic with plenty of wild birds.
After breakfast, we start our day driving towards Pudeto dock, located by the shores of Pehoe Lake. Once there we board the catamaran that will take us to the northern west sector of the Lake from where we will start the challenging trek to Valle Frances (French Valley), taking a steep trail that goes into the very heart of the Paine Massif. We can enjoy our first truly wonderful view and then continue up the trail until reaching the upper prospects of the valley. The entire group of geological formations of the high valley can be admired here: Hoja (Blade), Mascara (Mask), Espada (Sword), Catedral (Cathedral), Aleta de Tiburon (Shark's Fin) and the magnificent Fortaleza! (Fortress). Next, we descend through an undulating terrain of mixed grassland and light forest until reaching the Refugio Paine Grande, located in the peaceful shores of Lake Pehoe.
Today we'll hike from Paine Grande Lodge along the shores of mountain-lined Lake Pehoe to the northern end of glacial Lake Grey. We'll enjoy a picnic lunch before boarding the boat that sails to the blue face of Glacier Grey. You'll have lots of time to marvel at this calving glacier before the boat ride across Lake Grey with its floating pieces of ice. rom Lake Grey?s southern end we transfer to the EcoCamp. If the weather conditions do not allow us to navigate Lake Grey, we?ll instead hike to Glacier Grey. Then at Pudeto we'll board the catamaran to cross Lake Pehoe.
Our goal is to complete the most famous trekking trail in Torres del Paine NP. We walk from the camp site towards Hosteria Las Torres and connect with the winding uphill path to Ascencio Valley -- the valley which supports the eastern face of the Towers' base. It's not a difficult walk, but energy should nevertheless be saved for the final challenge: the moraine. This mass of boulders is the last guardian before our face to face meeting with the uplifting Torres del Paine. After a considerable effort, the Towers come into full view, rising majestically before us with the glacial lake visible below. This is one of the most breathtaking sights of the world! The famous Torres del Paine (2, 900 m/ 9, 400 ft) consist of three gigantic granite monoliths, the remains of a great cirque sheared away by the forces of glacial ice. We then hike back to the EcoCamp.
We board an early morning vehicle, sit back, relax, and enjoy a scenic ride back to Punta Arenas on time to catch the evening flight to Santiago (after 16:00pm).

2. Flirt. I believe real flirting is sharing your light. So get out there and sparkle. You never know who you will meet.
3. Research. The energy of the 5 craves answers, so when in doubt, do a google search and find the answer you are seeking. Let your intuition guide you.
4. Move. Move. Move. If you find yourself feeling overwhelmed, restless or impatient this month, get some exercise, take a trip or leave the house or office. Movement will get you out of your head and back into your life.
5. Practice spontaneity*. This is my favorite aspect of the 5... life is really lived in the moments when you're not planning it. Be open to your impulses, intuitive inclinations and uninhibited moments. Magical adventures and experiences will follow your willingness to seek and receive them.
*I've got a lot of 5s in my numerology chart and I've learned that spontaneity is most enjoyable when you've got your life in order.
Make taking care of your body, mind, Spirit, heart and money your focus and you will always be prepared for whatever may show up this month.

Use a high-quality, compatible, impregnating or topical sealer to properly protect your stone and grout from everyday spills and allow extra time for clean up before stains set in. Proper preparation of the stone surface is critical to the successful application of sealants. Different stones have unique finishes, density and porosity. Use a sealer that will protect your specific stone. Be sure to observe proper cure times after installation before sealing, typically up to 14 days. Note that most sealers will not protect your stone from etching, which is a chemical reaction to direct contact from acidic substances (such as juice, vinegar, wine, etc.) that may affect the color or sheen of your stone. Regularly reseal your stone and grout, especially in high-traffic or high-moisture areas. Consult the sealant manufacturer information for specific guidelines.
To help you protect and maintain your investment, The Floor Store proudly offers professional cleaning, sealing, honing and polishing of natural stone. To have a free, no obligation evaluation of your floor, counter tops, or walls please complete our on-line Request Service form, e-mail us atcustomerservice@floorstoreaz.com or call us at (480) 833-4455.
Good quality entry and exit mats will help trap dirt, soil and grime that will abrade and discolor the surface of your stone and grout. Vacuum and/or clean these mats frequently to remove the trapped dirt and minimize the risk of transfer to the floor.
Common food items and dishware can etch and scratch your stone. It is highly recommended that you use trivets and coasters to protect your stone surface from stains and damage.
The colors in natural stone can change and fade over time. The use of approved area rugs and frequent adjustment of blinds or shades during peak hours can help to minimize this.

Malignant mesothelioma is an aggressive cancer which attacks the membrane linings that encompass various internal organs and organ cavities. It's the consequence of contact with asbestos, and the malady might appear in one of four ways.
This form of the disorder may 1st exhibit mild discomforts which include coughing or chest pressure. The trigger of these discomforts is the cancer growing on the layer that borders the lungs. This membrane lining needs to be supplying mobility for the organ, but whilst pleural mesothelioma is present it thickens the protective lining and degrades the capacity of it to operate well. This decreases breathing proficiency.
Pleural mesothelioma is supposed to build-up after folks inhale the small particles of asbestos, usually while at work. Industrial personnel, factory workers, and construction workers are a number of those employment sectors at a larger risk. Secondary exposures have been shown to also lead to this form of cancer, for instance: when a construction laborer brings the fibers home on her/his clothing or body and they are persistently transported to his home and family.
The 1st treatment course for this variant of mesothelioma is nearly always surgery. Surgery may well be implemented to ease the tension of fluid retention, extract compromised servings of the membrane, or even to get rid of an entire lung when this approach can afford the individual the most relief and most desirable outlook. Chemotherapy may easily be implemented combined with the invasive operation in order to further reduce the impacts of the affliction. Radiotherapy is minimally valuable.
In contrast to the traditional course of inhalation exposure ending in pleural mesothelioma, doctors suspect that peritoneal mesothelioma may well manifest after ingesting the asbestos fibers. The abdominal cavity's layer then suffers as the cancer suppresses it from having the ability to support the organs and tissues of the mid-section.
Peritoneal mesothelioma may easily be incredibly complicated in treatment given that there are so a number of organs and tissues that may be impacted, all within close proximity of each other. There is very often pains/swelling inside the midsection, and bowel obstructions are not rare. Therefore, a surgical procedure is normally the first treatment option. It can be administered to diminish fluid accumulations and therefore painfulness levels, or doctors occasionally work with it to take out cancerous growths and heal bowel problems. Chemo could well be used, but surgery happens to be a great deal more reliable. Radiation is just not a possibility throughout this location of the body.
Once mesothelioma strikes the heart's lining, the outcomes can potentially be dreadful. As the ability of the heart to move proficiently minimizes, the treatment choices become fewer. Radiation isn't an option and chemo has only very minor success rates. Surgery may every now and then be practiced to remove minor segments of the cancerous membrane.
This rare variety of the health issue wrecks the testes' lining. Research workers are still doubtful as to why the testes would be disturbed by mesothelioma. Treatment is often surgical, if any, and detaching half of the scrotum is in certain cases the only course of action.
