There are many ways to explore Rome but a walking tour is highly recommended if you want to enjoy the top sights and discover the hidden gems when you visit the historic center (also my favorite city in the world!).
I’ve lived in Rome for more than 3 years and saying that I love it is an understatement! I had the possibility to discover a lot about this marvelous city and every time I come back to Italy I usually stop in Rome for one day to visit friends or just stroll around!
So what if you only have 1 day to visit Rome? What can’t you absolutely miss?
In this case, I highly recommend you to choose a good tour experience in the Eternal City. I actually tried a few ones when I had friends visiting and I couldn’t bother to find a parking spot in the center (go there by car and you’ll know what I mean!!).
WHICH ARE THE BEST ROME TOURS?
One of my favorite spots to walk in Rome! Touristy? Hell yes! But try visiting the “Via Dei Fori Imperiali” from Piazza Venezia Towards the Colosseo at sunset, and you will totally forget the people around you, I promise!
Usually, when I don’t have much time in a city I usually prefer tours compared to trying to rush everywhere, trying to figure out how to get from one place to the other by public transport (good luck with that in Rome if you chose buses!).
In my 6 years of experience traveling around the world, I know that If I don’t know the city I will likely miss some amazing spots (100% guaranteed in Rome) hence I book a tour online before my arrival, also because I like to talk to the locals (usually the guides are locals), and I highly recommend you try it too. With one warning: I’m Italian so I’m used to my people but Romans are…how can I put I, very colorful and expressive and loud! But, trust me on that, once you overcome the initial “shock” they will be the best part of your experience!

The one I liked the most was Segway Rome Tours, a team of local experts that organize different itineraries on segway including the most popular spots and the unsung treasures. I mean, how cool is that? Super fun!
According to the writer Anatole Broyard, “Rome was a poem pressed into service as a city”, so I planned a route devoted to the most evocative places easily reachable on foot and that will more likely be covered by most of the tours.
The iconic Trevi Fountain was restored in 2015 and is a bright jewel that attracts millions of people every year. Do you know that here rises Palazzo Poli, a seat of National Chalcography Institute for Graphics? You will learn a lot of history and also curious facts during your tour!
Here you can see temporary exhibitions and admire the collection of prints, engraving tools, machinery and ancient presses. A few people know Palazzo Poli, the backdrop to the Trevi Fountain: this palace was designed by Luigi Vanvitelli, the most prominent architect of XVIII century in Italy.
During the tour, as I said, you can discover many interesting facts: Did you know that visitors to Rome throw approximately 2,300 Euro worth of coins into the Trevi Fountain every day!?
ST PETER’S DOME: THE HIGHEST SPOT IN ROME!
The top of St. Peter’s Basilica is the highest point in Rome and no building can be higher than it. Despite that, there is an exception: Villa Medici, built at the half of XVI century on Pincio hill, has the same height of St. Peter’s Basilica. Climbing up the Dome in Rome is one of the things I think should be mandatory! The views are spectacular and you will also have a sneak peak of the astonishing gardens of Vatican City!
If you want to also visit Villa Medici, you can buy a ticket that includes a guided tour of its enchanting gardens and its elegant rooms. Recently its public gardens were elected the most beautiful in Italy, according to the contest “Il Parco Più Bello d’Italia”.
From the top of Villa Medici, on the Pincio terrace, you can enjoy the panoramic view over the entire city, a skyline that will leave a lasting impression on your heart.
When I’m on holiday I like to taste new dishes and sip nice drinks… well I bet that being in Rome, you would also be dying for a nice Italian lunch! Villa Medici has just opened the Colbert bistro, which offers breakfast and lunch from 10:00 am to 7:00 pm. Perfect setting and delicious food await!
This bistro owes its name to Jean-Baptiste Colbert, Minister under the rule of King Louis XIV in the XVII century.
The Forum Boarium was the cattle “forum venalium” of Ancient Rome and was the site of the original docks of the city.
I suggest seeing the Temple of Portunus to all those want to discover one of the best-preserved temples of the Roman age. Located at Piazza Della Bocca Della Verità, once the seat of Forum Boarium, this temple is an unsung gem, was built between 120 and 80 B.C. then converted into a church in 872.
In 1916, 100 years ago, the temple was restored but, at the moment, is close to the public. For more info about archaeological sites in Rome, I suggest checking this website.
If you are in this area on Saturday or Sunday, don’t forget to shop at the Campagna Amica market on Via di San Teodoro, when you can meet local producers and buy the best food delicacies in Rome.
Probably you already know Navona square (Piazza Navona): within walking distance of this big square, there is a small church, the Basilica of Sant’Agostino, situated in the piazza of the same name. This church was built during the Renaissance and hosts two masterpieces: the fresco of the Prophet Isaiah by Raphael and the Madonna di Loreto by Caravaggio.
This is a precious Baroque painting and I think it’s very amazing to find works of art hidden in the heart of the historic center.
The Caravaggio’s painting depicts a moment where everyday common man encounters the divine, just as the miracle of beauty that appears in Rome streets!

Will the new QBI tax deduction impact your retirement contribution?
Before the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, owners of pass-through entities and sole proprietors embraced the idea of a retirement plan for their employees, since it provided them with a tax deduction and permitted them to set aside retirement money for themselves. If you’re a professional firm, a retirement plan contribution might be an even better idea than before.
There’s been a lot of discussion around the new Qualified Business Income (QBI) tax deduction since the passage of the tax bill. But how does that impact your retirement plan if you are a pass-through business owner like an S-Corporation, an LLC or a sole proprietor? What if you are a specified service business?
The 20% deduction is limited in 2018 for owners with income greater than $315,000 (married) or $157,500 (single). Once income exceeds $415,000 (married) or $207,500 (single) the deduction is completely eliminated. Remember, if your income is under the threshold, you get the entire deduction, regardless if you are in a service industry or not. Making a retirement plan contribution can drive income down, allowing not only money to be set aside for your retirement, but driving your income under the threshold for the 20% deduction.
For example, Rob is 50 years old, married and is a partner in a service firm. His share of the profits are $375,000. By maxing out his 401(k) contribution and maximizing his profit sharing contribution of $60,000, his income drops to $315,000 and he is now entitled to a 20% QBI deduction of $63,000. Federal income tax on his taxable income is $43,299 instead of $66,468 computed without the 20% deduction. Rob has saved $23,169 in income tax, contributed $60,000 to his retirement and has reduced his taxable income by $93,232.
Members of firms with even higher profits might benefit from other types of plans which permit them to contribute larger amounts to their retirement. Of course, establishing a new plan entails time and money, but the savings could well outweigh the effort and cost.
There is just about one month left to establish a plan for 2018 and each person’s circumstances are unique, requiring some planning and decision making and a signed plan document before December 31st.

Taking a walk at Seaburn.
Crazy golf, a swimming pool and new nightclubs all form part of your vision for the future of Sunderland's seafront.
Major regeneration plans aimed at giving new leases of life to buildings at Roker and Seaburn were revealed in 2018 - but their success is dependent on a bid made by Sunderland City Council to the Coastal Communities Fund.
Councillors have now rubber-stamped the plans linked to the bid, which include creating new cafes, restaurants and beach huts.
Dozens of you got in touch on Facebook to express support for the idea, and also shared suggestions for what else you would like to see come to the coast.
A new leisure centre, additional entertainment for children and an ice cream parlour were among your ideas for the area.
If the plans go ahead, the facilities will be managed by the Sunderland Seafront Trust, the governingbody for the Roker Heritage Group.
Many of you called for more to be done at the seafront.
Paul Grieves: "Some cracking points above. If we want tourism (and its income) and we want more locals spending time (and money) at the sea front, we need plenty of parking (free parking) more cafes, bars and restaurants (possibly even an upmarket night club/late bar or two) and leisure facilities."
Andrew Richard Hope: "We need a crazy golf."
Janet Marrs: "A cafe designed especially for disabled people would be wonderful with helpful staff."
You've been having your say on the plans on social media.
Freda Fairley: "About time Seaburn was going to get like it used to be, make it a proud place to go to it's a lovely seaside resort do it up like South Shields has been done I used to live in Fullwell and every week end I went to the beach it was a fantastic place to go to and I loved the town full of shops and pictures to go to. hope something gets done."
Jacky Bewick Copeland: "Our seafront could be fabulous it needs some investment into it, the coastline is stunning."
Sheila Jacqueline Sly: "As much as I love our seafront and really look forward to significant enhancement I am not sure about yet more coffee shops, as it is there are coffee shops about every 200 hundred yards. More up market restaurants and more interesting/all weather stuff for families."
Mick Reid: "It needs a leisure centre. Golf course, bowling greens, attractions for children and plenty of kiosks selling a variety of different goods and brightening up. Also plenty of bins for rubbish so hopefully litter is not dropped."
Deb Chaytor: "It really does need something there’s not a lot there at all to attract money in to the area, more coffee shops and shops for the summertime economy especially."
Elaine Watt: "More dog-friendly cafes would be great."
Louise Claire Maclennan: "Absolutely! It’s about time it had SOMETHING! We’ve got beautiful beaches then not much else. There is so much potential to have something amazing we just need someone with a bit vision."
Kev Miller: "I'd love to see a few bars, couple more restaurants and an ice cream parlour. Since the Fat Buddha opened, it's always busy. Plus something decent for kids to do."
Hayley Byers: "Every new venture is a positive for the area."
Chris Sumby: "Always good to see people opening up businesses and bringing something new to the area!"
Ian Burns: "Can we just have a seafront that does the city proud for today and the future! It will probably be another 60 years before more improvements are made, if the past is anything to go by. Let’s think along environmental lines and make the buildings as efficient as possible. Consider everyone’s opinion."
Denise Martin: "Swimming pool like Shields has because this is something Sunderland lacks."
Evan Lloyd: "Make this happen. Need better parking availability to go with it though."

How do you assign a value to the car I want to lease or finance?

Primary prevention of stroke requires the management of Atherosclerotic Risk Factors, such as hypertension, diabetes, smoking, and dyslipidemia.
As the risk increases, secondary stroke prevention factors include identifying whether or not the patient has suffered from: prior transient ischemic attack (TIA) / Stroke; coronary artery disease (CAD) / peripheral vascular disease (PVD); asymptomatic carotid stenosis; or atrial fibrillation.
All patients with ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack should be on antiplatelet therapy (ASA) for secondary prevention of recurrent stroke unless there is an indication for anticoagulation or a contraindication to ASA.
Anticoagulation long term with warfarin is the superior antithrombotic if atrial fibrillation or other definite cardiac source of embolism is identified as the cause of stroke/TIA.
Surgical intervention is very effective in the prevention of stroke in symptomatic severe internal carotid artery stenosis. Earlier intervention yields greatest benefit.

In 1958 Bill got the break that would change his career. Dell Publishing Company had just acquired the rights to handle the Agatha Christie line. It should be noted that Dame Agatha did not want depictions of Miss Marple or Hercule Poirot on the covers of her books. When Dell gave Bill the assignment, he read the story and looked for clues to put on the cover, which became the beginning of a new format. Dell brought Bills work to the attention of Walter Brooks and Bill was hired to paint the cover art of The Man In The Brown Suit. Bill was paid $243.75 for doing two comps and the cover. He ended up doing well over one hundred fifty covers for Dells Agatha Christie series.
Agatha Christie wrote about eighty mysteries (Christie also wrote Gothic novels under the name Mary Westcott, some of which Bill illustrated). The publishing rights to Christies mysteries had been divided among three publishers, Dell being one of them. How did Bill end up painting over one hundred fifty Christie covers if Dell only had the rights to publish less than thirty of her books? Because new covers were done for each mystery roughly every two years. Bill ended up painting The Man In The Brown Suit at least five times, for example, the fifth cover done in 1974.
Agatha Christie mysteries were not the only paperback mystery covers that Bill painted. In 1960 he did his first cover for Ed Rofheart, an art director at Popular Library. That relationship continued for most of his career. Bill turned out many covers for Popular Library, Dell, Avon Bantam, Fawcett and Zebra as well as many other publishing houses. He painted covers for Mary Roberts Rinehart, Conan Doyles Sherlock Holmes series, Leslie Ford, Mignon Eberhart, Shirley Jackson and many other authors. In 1970 Bill won the Raven Award (which he promptly gave away to Ed) from the Mystery Writers of America, for The Best Mystery Jacket of the Year. The cover art for Picture Miss Seeton, written by Heron Carvic, was displayed at The Society of Illustrators in New York City.
Bill also painted twelve movie posters, beginning in 1966 when Bill Gold at Bill Gold Advertising hired him to do a poster for $3,000. That professional relationship continued through 1980 with Bill doing movie posters for Deliverance, Dog Day Afternoon, Escape From Alcatraz, Papillon, Agatha, and The Naked Runner among others. The poster Bill did for Night Visitor  was first runner-up in the 1st Annual Key Art Awards in 1972 and was exhibited at The Society.
a person whos fluent in the language of poisons, the law, names of silk, fur and fabrics. For each item, Bill found either the object itself or a photograph. He kept files of clippings torn from magazines. Often he would go into New York City to the public library and borrow pictures from its pictures collection. Sometimes the object, such as an old brooch, a hat pin or a vase could be found at home or borrowed from a friend. Items were also rented from stores in New York that were in the business of supplying props for plays. Guns were a more difficult item to procure. Bill said there used to be a place on 46th Street between 5th and 6th where a real gun, the opening plugged, could be rented. When the paperwork necessary for renting a gun became more extensive, Bill had to be more ingenious. On one occasion Bill borrowed a gun from a local police officer after showing him his studio and the work he did. When all else failed, Bill would enlist his wife, Erma, to make the object or costume, everything from a bundle of old letters tied with ribbon, an old fashioned bonnet, to a voodoo doll stuck full of pins.
Mystery covers other than the Agatha Christie series might have people in them and Bill would have to find subjects and take photographs. As part of his job Bill learned a bit about photography, enough to light a shoot, pose the model, take the photograph, develop and print the film. When Polaroid Cameras came on the market, they proved to be an invaluable aid. As for the models, a steady stream of neighbors and friends came through Bills studio where, with the help of his wife, they were dressed appropriately, posed and photographed. All of them were volunteers, rewarded for their efforts by a chance to be famous and just for the novelty of the situation. For the most difficult shoots or glamorous models, Bill would go into New York and rent a model, taking the photographs himself.
In 1974 there was a show at The Society of Illustrators in New York entitled Themes and Variations - A Retrospect of William Teason Paintings for the Dell Books of Agatha Christie in which one hundred of his covers were exhibited. He was given a key by the art director and told to go downstairs to the gallery on the first floor and to hang one hundred Agatha Christie covers over the weekend. So he did. On Monday morning, he received a call from the gallery curator asking him why his paintings were hanging in his gallery and is he a member of The Society. Bill explained who told him to display his work and no he was not a member of the Society. The curator asked if he would be willing to join and Bill said absolutely. So the show went on.
All the while Bill was painting paperback mystery covers he was also painting fine art. His goal had never been to be a fine artist and he enjoyed illustrating covers, but in the 1970s he started to find a style and subject matter that suited him. Ive always had to please a client, he said. When I have to please myself as an artist, then its really tough. He began painting in gauche, just as he did for his mystery covers. Rather than painting still lifes as he had in the past, he was doing studies of people. The mystery of my covers and Christie have slipped into my paintings. I cant help being fascinated and seeing mystery in everything. Bill did bring some of his fine artwork to New York galleries where he received positive interest and a number of awards. He also was reluctant to let his fine artwork go. Once at the annual show of The American Watercolor Society, he put a high price on a painting, thinking that would preclude its sale. The painting sold anyway and Bill always regretted it; from then on he put Not For Sale on his paintings. Throughout the 1970s he had artwork displayed in six American Watercolor Society shows, winning The High Winds Award in 1971, The Mario Cooper Award in 1975, The Lily Saportas Memorial Award in 1978, and The Hardie Gramatky Memorial Award in 1984. In 1979 Bill won the Society of Illustrators Hamilton King Award for the best illustration of the year by a member for his painting The Young Juggler. The selection is made by former recipients and may be won only once.
In 1990, Bill and his wife retired to Cape Cod. Their son and family lived there and Bill had always enjoyed the seascapes of the Cape. He had developed Parkinsons disease by then but still went into his studio every day to paint. In 1991 he did his final paperback mystery cover, The Last Camel Died @Noon, written by Elizabeth Peters. Bill painted fine art during his years on Cape Cod, the tremor in his hand stilled when he painted. He continued to work in great detail with small sized brushes.
He died on February 25,2003 at the age of eighty one in a nursing home where he had gone for a week of respite care. On the pad of lined yellow notebook paper he used to write messages to the staff because his speech was no longer intelligible, was found a page filled with sketches of the faces of the residents. I find the faces of old people endlessly fascinating, he had written.

Volkswagen expects to start a recall of cars affected by the emissions scandal in January, according to newly appointed chief executive, Matthias Mueller.
All affected cars will be fixed by the end of 2016, he told German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung and added that only a few employees have been involved in the scandal.
Europe’s biggest carmaker has said emissions test-cheating software is present in 11 million diesel vehicles.
The firm said it would also look into its various brands and models, singling out Bugatti, its supercar marque.
All investments that were not deemed absolutely necessary would be abandoned or delayed, technical solutions were ‘within view’ and the firm would do everything it could to keep jobs secure.
However, future investment in plant, technology and vehicles would be put ‘under scrutiny’.
VW has set aside €6.5bn (£4.8bn) to cover the cost of the scandal, but analysts say the total cost could be much higher, with potential regulatory fines in the US, class action lawsuits and the cost of fixing all of the cars affected.
In the UK alone, it is thought 1.2 million vehicles could be affected.

The finite element method can be subdivided into the three phases of model creation / preprocessing, simulation / solving and post processing / analysis. We can assist in the entire simulation process, starting with the definition of the type of calculation and the level of detail of the virtual prototype up to the analysis of the results. Necessary geometric designs are just as important as the verification of the calculation model with solutions from analytical comparative approaches (if possible). We have particular experience with the consideration of contact formulations between components in order to take the force flow into account in a realistic manner.
We create geometry data and designs after consultation/clearance, import CAD-data for meshing (e.g., STEP format) or meshed components without associated CAD-geometry.
On the basis of geometry specifications, we create a discretization adapted to the simulation target and pay attention to the necessary network qualities in the area of stress gradients or critical structural areas to be evaluated.
Depending on the system boundary of the calculation model, suitable boundary or initial conditions must be specified. In the case of quasi-static analyzes, these are e.g. Displacement and force constraints, temperature fields, contacts and constraints. We value mutual agreement with the client, thereby minimizing influences on the calculation results due to the need for modeling simplifications.

I will leave the conversation with one additional note. When I was a CO in my past life we had these discussions often for services type of work. If the contractor was providing monthly financial reports that show that the labor was close to 50%, and had a plan to get back to 50% we never challenged the reports. If they were below 50% we would add this to their CPARS (I had 1 instance of this). I never had a situation where I would have ever considered a T for C, or D, for this situation, or where I would have requested the SBA to get involved.
So here's another wrinkle, the clause states 50% of the labor is to be performed by the prime. Is this a goal or requirement? So what is the CO supposed to do if the 50% drops to 49%, 40% or even 25% where is the line? If its a Deliver order contract and the work that was planned according to teaming agreements changes during execution, and the work is weighted away from the primes capabilities, is this the fault of the prime? While this is an extreme example the situation applies.

Raspberry frozen yogurt smoothies are light and refreshing.
A raspberry frozen yogurt smoothie is a healthy drink to include as a part of a balanced breakfast, eat as a snack or enjoy as a dessert to any meal. The raspberries provide most of the sweetness, keeping the sugar content low. The calories, fat and cholesterol levels are low with relatively high amounts of nutrients per serving.
A raspberry frozen yogurt smoothie includes frozen raspberries, plain, low-fat yogurt, sugar and frozen pineapple juice. Frozen pineapple juice is used in place of water to give the smoothie a fruitier taste. Alternatively, replace it with ice cubes while sacrificing flavor and nutrients. One serving of a raspberry frozen yogurt smoothie is about 8.5 ounces -- weight is more accurate than volume measurement, as different blenders whip varied levels of froth into the smoothie.
On average, a healthy adult needs about 2,000 calories per day, according to MayoClinic.com. Each 8.5-ounce serving of a raspberry frozen yogurt smoothie contains about 8 percent of that at 167 calories. Of those calories, 16 are from the 2 grams of fat in the smoothie, less than a gram of which is saturated. The smoothie also contains 62 milligrams of sodium and 4 milligrams of cholesterol. The majority of the sodium, calories, fat and cholesterol are from the yogurt. MayoClinic.com recommends 44 grams of fat and no more than 16 grams of saturated fat, 300 milligrams of cholesterol and 2,300 milligrams of sodium daily.
Each serving of a raspberry frozen yogurt smoothie provides you with 6 grams of protein and 33 grams of carbohydrates. Protein keeps your muscles healthy while carbohydrates supply your entire body with energy. The Institute of Medicine recommends that men consume 56 grams of protein daily and that women get 46 grams. Average healthy adults need around 225 grams of carbohydrates daily. The protein is mostly from the yogurt while the carbs are from the juice and raspberries. The true bonus of this smoothie is its fiber content -- a whopping 6 grams -- mostly from the raspberries. MayoClinic.com recommends that men consume 28 to 34 grams of dietary fiber daily and women 22 to 28. Dietary fiber prolongs the sensation of fullness by being slow to digest and keeps your digestive system working healthily.
Each raspberry frozen yogurt smoothie contains 188 milligrams of calcium, which keeps your bones strong, and 31 milligrams of vitamin C, an essential element to a healthy immune system. Yogurt in the smoothie provides the calcium and raspberries the vitamin C. The National Institutes of Health recommends that men and women consume 1,000 milligrams of calcium daily as well as 90 milligrams of vitamin C daily for men and 75 milligrams for women. The smoothie also provides trace amounts of vitamin D, zinc, niacin, magnesium and iron.

SIGN THE PETITION: Support Cdl. Müller’s doctrinal manifesto amid Pope Francis’ confusion! Sign the petition here.
February 13, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) – Bishop Athanasius Schneider, auxiliary bishop of Astana, Kazakhstan, supports and welcomes Cardinal Gerhard Müller’s new Manifesto of Faith.
Cardinal Müller issued his Manifesto upon requests from clergy and laity alike who asked him to confirm the essential tenets of the Catholic faith in the face of growing doctrinal and moral confusion in the Church. The full Manifesto may be read here.
Readers are invited to express their own sensus fidelium by signing a petition in support of Cardinal Müller. This petition has so far been signed by nearly 14,000 people.
Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Müller’s recent Manifesto of Faith is a necessary and a very timely initiative, edifying the Faith and bringing light in the enormous spiritual confusion, which for quite a while reigns in the life of the Church and which has reached in our days unimagined dimensions.
A clear profession of the Divinely revealed truths is in our days in the life of the Church often not anymore tolerated and is perceived even as a provocation, as one could see this, for instance, from the prompt, intolerant and astonishingly aggressive reaction with which Cardinal Walter Kasper has rejected the Manifesto of Faith of Cardinal Müller. With his reasoning against the Manifesto of Faith, Cardinal Kasper has only demonstrated that he himself does not anymore live in the true Faith of the Apostles and of the Church of all times, but, on the contrary, he represents a Christianity that in the manner of a gnosis has built up for itself a world of an alleged faith after the taste of one’s own ego or the predominance of the respective “Zeitgeist” (the spirit of the age).
Cardinal Müller’s initiative of Faith deserves full recognition. It is an important contribution to stem the flood of the neo-gnostic Christianity inside the Catholic Church. One must wish and pray, that inside the Church there will now sound a numerically growing, uniform voice of the true Faith, an “una vox verae fidei,” comprising all members of the Mystical Body of Christ, representatives both of the Magisterium and of the Lay Faithful. In their profession of Faith, they should not allow themselves to be confused or intimidated by anybody – not even from a Cardinal Kasper – for with Saint Paul they can serenely and convincingly say: “I know Whom I have believed! (scio, Cui credidi!)” (2 Tim. 1: 12).

If Florian Schneider (of Kraftwerk) sat down, closed his eyes, and attentively listened to Shout Out Out Out Out’s latest efforts in their third and flawlessly compressed LP, he would probably mistake their sound for his own.
The general consensus is that it’s not a duo debut to have an orgasmic fit for, but we reckon there’s an innovative fuse within these two that is ready to detonate.
Red Night has just about enough to be comfortably associated with the awe-inspiring music reputation of Brooklyn.

The urinary tract infection (UTI) is a leading cause of consultation in medical practice, second only to respiratory infections. It is therefore important to define and characterize urinary infection and explain the terms used by doctors, which is covered in this first article.
What is urinary tract infection - uti?
The UTI is the presence of some microorganisms in the urinary tract. When it comes to the kidney, called pyelonephritis, bladder, cystitis, prostate, prostatitis and urethral, urethritis.
Most of the UTI is caused by bacteria, but can also be caused by viruses, fungi and other microorganisms. Most urinary tract infections occurs by the invasion of some bacteria of intestinal bacterial flora in the urinary tract. The bacterium Escherichia coli, representing 80-95% of urinary tract infectious invaders.
Sometimes the patient has symptoms similar to UTI, such as pain, burning, urgency to urinate and increased frequency, but culture tests show no bacteria in the urine.
These cases can be confused with UTI and are called acute urethral syndrome, which may have other non-infectious causes, but of inflammatory origin, such as chemical, toxic, hormonal and radiation.
The access of microbes to the urinary tract occurs via ascending, or the urethra and can be installed in the urethra and prostate, advancing to the bladder, and with more difficulty, to the kidney.
Hardly, the bacteria can enter the urinary tract through blood. This occurs only when there is widespread infection (septicemia) or in patients without immune defenses as AIDS and transplant recipients. The intensity of the UTI depends on the patient’s defenses, the virulence of the organism and the ability to adhere to the wall of the urinary tract.
sexually transmitted diseases and gynecological infections.
The prophylactic and therapeutic guidelines of facilitating factors can be seen in the articles on cystitis, pyelonephritis and urinary tract infection in children and pregnant.
What do you feel - symptoms?
form a data set that allows the physician to suspect the patient has urinary tract infection. Often these are in addition to signs and symptoms and pain in the bladder at the end of urination, dripping of small amounts of blood.
When the kidney is reached, the patient, in addition to the above symptoms, chills, fever and back pain, and may sometimes occur abdominal cramps, nausea and vomiting.
The presence of signs and symptoms of UTI requires the doctor to order a standard urine test and a urine culture. Therefore, it is very important that the collection of a urine sample is carried out without contamination. The contamination is generally of microorganisms from the urethra, perianal region and sometimes cough or hands handling the sterilized jars.
There are four methods of collection: average urine stream, urine collector, probing and puncturing the bladder. Each method has its indications, complications and conveniences. The physician must decide which is best for your patient.
Most of the collections is made by the midstream first morning urine, after a well-made cleaning of the periurethral region. The midstream urine is collected after the jet has been overlooked the first portion of urine, which could be contaminated by microorganisms of the urethra.
The standard urine test, in the case of UTI, has lots of bacteria and leukocytes (white blood cells), predominantly on erythrocytes (RBC) in urine sediment.
The culture examination of urine in the UTI shows a growth of bacteria more than 100,000 germs per milliliter of urine. This amount of bacteria allows the diagnosis of urinary incontinence in 95% of cases, since there was no contamination. Sometimes, in certain situations, a smaller number of bacteria also can mean UTI.
It’s always good to remember that urine is sterile and should not have bacteria.

Mozilla Corp. is backing a move that would nullify copyright infringement charges against people who “jailbreak” their iPhones, a practice that Apple Inc. considers against the law.
In comments submitted to the U.S. Copyright Office, the maker of Firefox said it supports the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) in its request for an exemption to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).
The EFF wants the Copyright Office to let users jailbreak their phones without fear of copyright infringement penalties.
Apple opposes the exemption, and in its own filing with the Copyright Office, has said that jailbreaking is a violation of copyright laws that protect its software.
“Jailbreak” is the term used to describe circumventing the digital rights management (DRM) technology on a cell phone so that the user can install third-party applications not authorized by the phone’s maker or the mobile carrier.
The term was popularized by iPhone owners after several groups of programmers figured out how to hack the first-generation iPhone’s operating system.
Although it never mentioned the iPhone by name in its comments, Mozilla made no bones about the danger it sees if a company like Apple is the sole gatekeeper of a smartphone.
“By controlling the software that can be installed on these cellular phones, these companies can limit and control the type of programs and functionality that is available to users of their devices,” Mozilla’s general counsel, Harvey Anderson, wrote in the comments submitted to the Copyright Office.
Anderson said that the DRM technology used to prevent people from installing software has a “chilling effect on users and innovation” because they are afraid that jailbreaking their phones is illegal.
He went on to argue that smartphones are akin to a computer, and because they can be used to access the Internet, should not be limited to the software authorized by the handset maker and/or the mobile service provider.
Apple includes a version of its own Safari browser on the iPhone, and decides which third-party applications can be downloaded from its App Store online mart, the only authorized distribution channel.
In the past, Apple has rejected programs it says duplicate its own iPhone software, a notion that is reportedly spelled out in the iPhone’s software development kit (SDK) licensing agreement. So far, no major rival to Safari has been offered to users through the App Store.
As things stand now, Mozilla would be unlikely to craft a version of Firefox for the iPhone, said Lilly.
Mozilla is currently working on a mobile browser based on the same code that drives Firefox. Code-named “Fennec,” the browser is in the preliminary stages of development.
The first build for Windows Mobile-powered phones, for instance, was released only last week.
Although he declined to get into product development specifics, Lilly said he doubts Mozilla would venture into the iPhone even if the Copyright Office grants the DMCA exemption over jailbreaking.
Opera Software ASA, a Norwegian company noted for its mobile browser, has come to the same decision. According to CEO Jon von Tetzchner, Opera considered and then abandoned development for the iPhone when it realized that Apple’s SDK license barred other browsers.
Mozilla wasn’t the only technology company or developer who weighed in on the side of the EFF. Skype Communications, the eBay Inc. subsidiary known for its voice-over-IP (VoIP) software, for example, also backed the exemption request.
“Copyright law should not interfere with a user using his or her phone to run Skype and enjoy the benefits of low- or no-cost long-distance and international calling,” Skype said.
So did Jay Freeman, developer of Cydia, the open-source application installer that acts as an App Store substitute for jailbroken iPhones.
Claiming that his program is installed on 1.6 million iPhones worldwide, a quarter of them in the U.S., Freeman wasted no time blasting Apple’s software restrictions.
“They have denied competing mail applications, competing camera applications and competing mapping systems,” Freeman said in comments he submitted supporting the EFF request.

The Saucon Valley School District is the result of the merger of the Hellertown School District and the Lower Saucon Township School District. Presently, all classes are located at the Saucon Valley Educational Campus located on Polk Valley Road, Lower Saucon Township, at the Southeast corner of the Borough of Hellertown. District students attend school on this campus from kindergarten through graduation from twelfth grade. This unique and functional contiguous structure encompasses Saucon Valley Elementary School, Saucon Valley Middle School, Saucon Valley High School, the District Administration offices, athletic facilities, fields and an outdoor environmental learning center.
In 1938 or 1939, a school meeting was held in the Hellertown High School auditorium to name the school’s sports teams, particularly the baseball team. The school did not have a football team at that time, due to the expense of fielding a team. Various names were suggested. One student, Joe Sopko, noticed what appeared to him as two panther heads carved in the wood on each side of the stage. Joe pointed them out to the class president, Bobby Potts. Bobby raised his hand and suggested the name "Panthers." It was voted on and passed by the student body.
In the late 1950s, the original auditorium was demolished to make way for the renovation and addition to the high school which included a new auditorium. The wood was torn out, scrapped and eventually found its way into someone’s home woodpile. The panther heads were rediscovered years later, cleaned up, painted black and made into bookends. Their location is unknown.

How is this for a wildlife photo? While visiting Tonga in September, I encountered this curious humpback whale mother and calf underwater. They were initially swimming from my right to left. My guide and friend, Ken Howard, were also in the water just to my left. Suddenly, the whales turned and swam directly towards us. It all happened so fast that I could only point my camera in their general direction and push the shutter release without looking. If I had got any closer using a fisheye lens I would have gotten run over. Oh, wait. That did happen.
One of the highlights of my adventure-filled life was being able to take my younger daughter, Chloe, scuba diving in Indonesia this past June. We had an amazing time and she got to see what a healthy coral reef looked like. It was not really an underwater photography trip, but I still brought along my Ikelite housing to take a few photos when the opportunities presented themselves. This is my favorite image from a dive site in Komodo National Park called Batu Bolong. I became enamored with this coral and sponge covered rock and love how the sun filtered through the water column while the reef fishes swirled above me.
I recently returned home to the island of Kauai after spending the last month visiting family and friends on “the mainland”. While vacationing with my wife’s family on the East Coast, I spent a few days photographing sharks from Rhode Island. It was a fantastic experience and I might even go so far as to claim that it was my favorite shark trip that I have ever done. Brian was a fantastic host and guide, and though the boat ride left me a little green in the gills each day, I would highly encourage any aspiring shark photographer to book a trip with Pelagic Expeditions.
I had hoped to photograph a mako shark during my 3 days on the water, but only saw one a few fleeting times. Dang, it was fast and my photos unremarkable. Fortunately, there were a lot of curious blue sharks that stayed around the boat and provided me with plenty of photo opportunities. This is one of my favorite images of a blue shark passing incredibly close to my dome port. I need to point out that I was not in a cage, but simply floating on the surface while having the hull of the boat against my back for safety. There were usually 2 or 3 blue sharks swimming around, so it was easy to keep track of them, but by my last dive there were at least a half dozen sharks taking turns at bumping into my camera. I spent about 30 minutes in the water solo before deciding that I had enough of sharks bumping into me.
I have to admit that it was wonderful to get back in the water scuba diving during my recent South Pacific adventure. All the transitions and disruptions in my life the last few years simply did not leave me with any time to be able to dive. The last time I really dove was 4 years ago when I first visited Fiji. Fortunately, my recent trip to Vanuatu required me to fly through Fiji, so I planned a week of diving on the Rainbow Reef in the Somosomo Straits. This was an area that I had not visited during my previous trip, but had always heard fantastic things about. I flew up to Taveuni and stayed at a wonderful resort for 10 days. I ended up diving with another resort than where I was staying, but it all worked out. Over the course of 9 days of diving, I got to know a few sites exceptionally well and planned my subsequent dives around the ideal currents. The current was totally ripping when I created this image, so it was challenging to say the least. This is one of my favorite bommies which was covered in soft corals while being enveloped in clouds of colorful anthias.
This is my favorite underwater walrus image from my Svalbard sailing expedition last summer with my co-leader Tony Wu. Early in our trip, we encountered walrus resting on iceflows with ideal blue sky conditions that allowed for great underwater visibility. As both the trip leader and inflatable boat driver, I cautiously motored towards a group of walrus to allow my clients to photograph them without disturbing them. Eventually, I delicately approached them and got close enough to extend my underwater polecam out to shoot the most curious animal. I love how he is looking right at the camera and the detail in this image is truly amazing.
I want to start sharing some of my incredible new images from my spectacular Svalbard expedition that I co-lead with Tony Wu this past June. I have been hesitant to publish what I consider to be some of my best work ever given the fact that publishing photos is not what it used to be, not to mention that a lot of my work gets used without compensation by copyright infringers. However, I can not be afraid of holding back my new photos forever.
This is an underwater walrus image that I created while standing in the Arctic Ocean, holding my polecam, and waiting for a walrus from the nearby colony to swim up to me. Eventually, this very curious walrus took interest and swam directly at me as I nervously stood my ground with my polecam held under the surface in front of me. I blindly fired away as this extraordinary encounter unfolded. After the walrus grew tired of staring at its reflection on my dome port, it gently settled into the shallow water in front of me and proceeded to scratch itself for what seemed like an eternity. It was truly an unimaginable experience as both of us were just relaxed and hanging out at the beach while enjoying each other’s company.
One of my false clown anemonefish images was published on the October cover of Sport Diver! I photographed this clownfish while visiting the Misool Ecoresort located in Raja Ampat, Indonesia in March 2011. (Man, was that trip really almost 5 years ago?) I had always wanted to photograph these charismatic fish ever since watching Finding Nemo a thousand times with my older daughter when she was little. When I returned from the trip, I recall one of my good dive buddies telling me that clownfish images were a dime-a-dozen and I would never publish them. Surprisingly, I have proven him wrong and published them widely.
One of my underwater Steller sea lion images is featured on the cover of this month’s issue of Canadian Wildlife. Scuba diving with these curious pinnipeds is one the highlights of my entire photography career. Over the years, I have had a lot of success publishing these images from my January 2009 dive trip to Hornby Island in British Columbia. (Doesn’t that seem like a long time ago?) It’s nice to see that an “older” image that I created using my original Canon 5D is still valuable and publishable.
Since I am getting ready to fly back to the Big Island of Hawaii tomorrow afternoon, I decided to share an image from my last trip to Kona in November. I got very lucky several days in a row by experiencing my first encounters with sperm whales. This photo was taken moments after one swam directly at me to check me out and then inverted itself vertically in the water. I don’t know whether this image is epic or not, but it is one of my first sperm whale images all the same. What I like most about going out on the water in Kona is that I never know what I will encounter. Every day is different.

Assesment of Factors Determining Anc Utilizationamong Women Who Gave Birth In Dire Dawa Town At Gendekore Kebele From January 1 – February 30, 2015.
1Daniel Adane, 2Lebeza Alemu 2Getnet Gedefaw and 3Fekadu waltengus.
Every year approximately 600,000 women die and some 62 million women suffer from pregnancy and delivery related problem at the height of their productivity and family responsibility. Around 80% of maternal deaths are the result of complication arising during pregnancy, delivery and purperium. However most of such death can be prevented by proper utilization of maternal health care service provided in health institution. The aim of this study was to identify factors determining the utilization of antenatal care among women who gave birth in Dire Dawa town Gendekore kebele from January1 to February 30,2015. Community based Descriptive cross sectional study was conducted in Dire Dawa town Gendekore Kebele from January 1 to February 30. A total of 357 mothers who gave birth were selected from Keble of Dire Dawa town. Systematic Sampling technique is used after getting the starting household by simple random ( lottery ) sampling method. This study revealed that antenatal care service utilization in the study area was 86.8%. However, from those who attended antenatal care service 96.52%got antenatal care visit greater or equal to four and significant proportion 3.48%had less than four visits. Husband attitude ,unwanted pregnancy, and too far facility were major predictors of antenatal care service utilization. Though the antenatal care service utilization is high in the study population, four in ten of the mothers did not have the minimum number of visits recommended by World Health Organization. Promoting information, education and communication in the community is recommended to favorably affect the major predictors of antenatal care service utilization.

When I was nine, my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer, and I had a ton of questions. We went together to the bookstore and I picked out a journal, where I would write down the questions at night that I didn’t feel comfortable asking her. In the morning, her answers would be written in the journal. My mom and I decided to turn our journal into a book and publish it to give other kids answers to questions they might have.
Thanks again Nardi (Dr. Tolchinsky) for taking the time to speak to my students. Cade is so awesome and what an amazing thing you two are doing! My students have brought you up in every morning meeting since ? It showed my class how journaling can really help a child deal with pretty scary emotions and the power of family love. I’m sure this book is helping so many children deal with a tough time. Thank you again!
From a reader’s perspective, I enjoyed the interaction between Cade and his mom. I felt as if I was in the same room listening to the conversation between the two as they both addressed the reality of dealing with this horrible disease. I highly recommend this book to any family who is dealing with breast cancer. It is warmly written yet in a “real” way.
This touching story melted my heart. Cade’s honest questions about his fears and what his Mom was going through gave me a unique perspective on how cancer affects the whole family, not just the patient. I would recommend this book especially to anyone going through cancer treatment who has kids. I believe reading this with your kids will open the doorways to communication, help allay their fears, and perhaps answer the questions that they are too afraid to ask.
I thought this book was a fascinating eye-opener to a child’s perspective of cancer. It made me so curious that I looked up other books that are similar, though none can compare.
