DIvA (AsiSI-ER-U20S) cells were cultured in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) supplemented with antibiotics, 10% FCS (InVitrogenInvitrogen) with 1 µg/mL puromycin (DIvA cells) at 37°C under a humidified atmosphere with 5% CO2. For ChIP:Formaldehyde was added to the culture medium at a final concentration of 1% and crosslinking was allowed to proceed for 15 min at room temperature. Reaction was stopped by adding glycine (0.125M final concentration) and incubation for 5 minutes at room temperature. Cells were washed twice with PBS and harvested by scraping. Cell lysis was performed by incubation in cell lysis buffer (5 mM Pipes pH 8, 85 mM KCl, 0.5% IGEPAL® CA-630) followed by Dounce homogenization. Nuclei were harvested by centrifugation and incubated in nuclear lysis buffer: (50 mM Tris pH 8.1, 10 mM EDTA, 1% SDS) and sonicated 10 times for 10 s at a power setting of 5 and 50% duty cycle (Branson Sonifier 250). Samples were diluted 10 times in ChIP dilution buffer (16.7 mM Tris pH 8.1, 167 mM NaCl, 1.2 mM EDTA, 1.1% Triton X‐100, 0.01% SDS) and precleared using a mixture of protein A-agarose (Pierce) and protein G-sepharose (Sigma) previously blocked with BSA (Sigma). Precleared samples (10 to 200 μg) were incubated overnight at 4°C with indicated antibodies. Immune complexes were recovered by incubation with blocked protein A/protein G beads for 2 h at 4°C on a rotating wheel. Beads were washed once in dialysis buffer (50 mM Tris pH 8, 2 mM EDTA, 0.2% Sarkosyl), five times in wash buffer (100 mM Tris pH 8.8, 500 mM LiCl, 1% IGEPAL® CA-630, 1% NaDoc) and twice with TE (10mM Tris-HCl, pH 8, 1mM EDTA). Beads were resuspended in TE supplemented with 50µg/ml DNase-free RNase A (Abcam) and incubated for 30 minutes at 37°C. SDS (final concentration 0.5%) was added and crosslink was reversed by overnight incubation at 70°C. Following a 2 hours treatment with 200 µg/ml proteinase K (Roche) at 45°C, DNA was purified by phenol/chloroform extraction and recovered by ethanol precipitation in presence of 5 µg glycogen (Invitrogen). DNA pellet was resuspended in water. Prior to next-generation sequencing library preparation, samples from multiples ChIP experiments were pooled and sonicated for 5 cycles (30 seconds on, 30 seconds off, high setting) on a Bioruptor (Diagenode) then concentrated with a vacuum concentrator (Eppendorf). Libraries for H3K4me2, H4K20me1, H3K36me3, H3K79me2, H2Bub, H3K56ac, H4K16ac, H3K9me2, H4S1P, H3K36me2 and γH2AX were prepared BGI (Beijin Genomics Institute, Hong Kong) using proprietary protocols. Libraries for FK2 samples were prepared at GATC biotech (Konstanz, Germany) using proprietary protocols. Libraries for H2BK120ac, H2AZ, H1, MacroH2A, H4K20me3, 53BP1, H4K12ac, H2AZac and H3 were prepared atEMBL Genomics core facilities (Heidelberg, Germany) using NEBNext ChIP-Seq Library Prep kit (New England Biolabs).

Jazz return to Salt Lake to take on the Wizards
Can the Jazz make it two in a row?
Share All sharing options for: Jazz return to Salt Lake to take on the Wizards
Photo by G Fiume/Getty Images
After a nice win over the Detroit Pistons, the Utah Jazz will return to Vivint Arena to take on Kyle Kuzma and the Washington Wizards.
The former Utah Ute is having the best season of his career, scoring 21.5 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 3.5 assists. His breakout year is working out perfectly as he has a player option next season that he's likely to opt out of. With this type of production, he'll surely get some big offers from teams looking for that next core piece for a title run.
With Brad Beal back from injury, the Wizards are looking better and should be a more difficult matchup than they would have been a week ago. If the Jazz don't come out with energy, they could find themselves in a bad situation.
For the Jazz, they're still dealing with some injuries, but overall are looking like the tough team that started the season. With injuries come opportunities, and we've seen some players take advantage. Walker Kessler is looking like he deserves a starting role more and more every game. His ability to finish near the rim and crash the offensive glass makes him a potent weapon, and we all know what he can do on the defensive end. Jarred Vanderbilt is also showing more consistency with his shooting. Playing opposite Kessler forces him to shoot the corner three more, and it's falling at an impressive 38%. The more confident he becomes with that, the better but considering his attempts are at 1.1 per game compared to 0.2 last season, you can expect next season for that to go up even more.
When: 7:00 PM MT
Where: Vivint Arena | Salt Lake City, UT

Drug eases recovery for those with severe alcohol withdrawal
By Bill Hathaway
(© stock.adobe.com)
A drug once used to treat high blood pressure can help alcoholics with withdrawal symptoms reduce or eliminate their drinking, Yale University researchers report Nov. 19 in the American Journal of Psychiatry.
In a double-blind study, researchers gave the drug prazosin or a placebo to 100 people entering outpatient treatment after being diagnosed with alcohol use disorder. All of the patients had experienced varying degrees of withdrawal symptoms prior to entering treatment.
According to the researchers, subjects with more severe symptoms — including shakes, heightened cravings and anxiety, and difficulty sleeping — who received prazosin significantly reduced the number of heavy drinking episodes and days they drank compared to those who received a placebo. The drug had little effect on those with few or no withdrawal symptoms.
"There has been no treatment readily available for people who experience severe withdrawal symptoms and these are the people at highest risk of relapse and are most likely to end up in hospital emergency rooms," said corresponding author Rajita Sinha, the Foundations Fund Professor of Psychiatry, a professor of neuroscience, and director of the Yale Stress Center.
Prazosin was originally developed to treat high blood pressure and is still used to treat prostate problems in men, among other conditions. Previous studies conducted at Yale have shown that the drug works on stress centers in the brain and helps to improve working memory and curb anxiety and craving.
Sinha's lab has shown that stress centers of the brain are severely disrupted early in recovery, especially for those with withdrawal symptoms and high cravings, but that the disruption decreases the longer the person maintains sobriety. Prazosin could help bridge that gap by moderating cravings and withdrawal symptoms earlier in recovery and increasing the chances that patients refrain from drinking, she said.
One drawback is that in its current form prazosin needs to be administered three times daily to be effective, Sinha noted.
The study was conducted at the Yale Stress Center and the Connecticut Mental Health Center's Clinical Neuroscience Research Unit. It was supported by the National Institute of Alcoholism and Alcohol Abuse at the National Institutes of Health and the Connecticut State Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services.

The tender vegetables and rice in this dish are whisked into a luscious cheese-flavored sauce and then covered with a light, flaky crust.
I recommend using all organic non GMO ingredients.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. To make the filling, bring a large pot of water to a boil, add the potatoes and carrot, and boil approximately 12 to 15 minutes, until tender. While the potatoes and carrot are cooking, bring the broth to a boil. Add the broccoli and boil 3 to 5 minutes longer. Drain the vegetables and combine them with the cooked rice.
Heat the oil in a sauté pan and whisk in the flour until the mixture is golden brown. Whisk the flour mixture into the boiling broth to form a thick, creamy soup. Oil a 2 ½ quart casserole dish and transfer the potato mixture to it; stir in the edamame, thyme, yeast, and flour mixture.
To make the crust, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a medium mixing bowl; stir well to combine. With your fingers, work in the margarine until the mixture is crumbly. Add the soy milk slowly just until you can form a soft dough. Knead briefly, and then roll the dough out on a floured surface to a size large enough to cover the casserole.
Cover the casserole with the dough and trim (but do not seal the edges). Bake 30 to 45 minutes, until the crust is brown and flaky.

AMMAN (Reuters) - Jordan has begun consultations on convening an emergency meeting of the Arab League and the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation before an expected move this week by U.S. President Donald Trump to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital, a senior Jordanian source said.
"It could ultimately hamper all efforts to get the peace process moving and would certainly be provocative to Arab and Muslim countries and Muslim communities across the West," said the source, asking not to be named.
Officials are worried the move could trigger violence in the Palestinian territories and a spillover into Jordan, a country where many people are descendants of Palestinian refugees whose families left after the creation of Israel in 1948.
"A tremendous wave of anger will spread across the Arab and Muslim world," said another regional diplomatic source in touch with U.S. officials on the issue.
Tensions in Jerusalem's Al Aqsa compound, the third holiest site in Islam, earlier this year provoked days of unrest.
Word of Trump's planned announcement, which would deviate from the line taken by previous U.S. presidents who insisted Jerusalem's status must be decided in negotiations, drew criticism from the Palestinian Authority.
King Abdullah warned of the repercussions of Trump's expected move in talks this week in Washington with top administration officials.
"If it happens (recognition of Jerusalem) it will jeopardize all efforts towards stability and peace in the region and thwart a resolution of the conflict," the regional diplomatic source said.

Make Stinger Missile Fireworks Rockets (Spin Stabilized)
"Stinger Missile" is a term which has come to be used among fireworkers to refer to spin-stabilized rockets. These missiles are guided on a straight path by gyroscopic forces, due to their spinning as they rise. As a result they do not need fins or a stick to keep them headed upward.
Stinger-Missile Spin-Up and Launch
Due to their simplicity, stingers are very quick and easy to make, providing a fun, backyard fireworking project. Once you've learned the techniques that follow, you'll be able to make finished stinger missile rockets in about 5 minutes, including the installation of a heading.
During their flight, the missiles project a stream of sparks downward through their bottom nozzle aperture, and they also create a sideways-circle of sparks from the spin-up vent hole.
The missiles can also carry a small payload of colored stars, a small shell, or a report. On their ascent, these rockets create a unique "whirring" sound. And when they are done flying, there is only a small tube containing some clay, falling from the sky. This minimal fallout hazard can be an advantage over a stick-stabilized rocket.
Launch and Flight of a Stinger Missile
The project I'm about to describe has been inspired by two sources: In the 1980's, Warren Klofkorn wrote an article for American Fireworks News entitled Stinger Missiles. He based his design on a commercial Class C device called the Warhead Launcher. That project is included in The Best of AFN II compilation.
As far as I know it was Warren who coined the term "Stinger Missile" for these little babies.
Then, in the late 90's and inspired by Warren's project, Dan Williams wrote an article which was published in the fledgling Skylighter newsletter, titled How to Make Stinger Missile Rockets. Dan illustrated the tooling used to make these missiles that Skylighter has carried ever since.
Both Warren and Dan described using a rocket press to consolidate the fuels in the motors. But they can be made with a simpler process of hand-ramming. I'll demonstrate that method here, but feel free to use a press and a tube-support if you're so inclined.
I'll also update Dan's project with a few videos and new photos.
Stinger Missile Fireworks Tool Set & Kit
You can get a complete Stinger Missile Fireworks Kit containing the tooling, tubes, chemicals, and fuse to make 3/4-inch Stinger Missile Rockets at Skylighter.
The photo below shows a set of 3/4" Stinger tooling, along with a homemade tube support. (The same tooling may also be used to make traditional, stick-stabilized, black-powder motors, simply by using a hotter fuel than would be used with a longer, standard black-powder-motor spindle and tooling.)
And, in The Best of AFN III, in AJS's article Screaming Banshee Rockets, a whistle-fuel motor is described which can be made with this same tooling. A rocket press is required, though, any time a motor is made using whistle fuel.
Tooling Used to Make 3/4-Inch Stinger Missiles
NOTE: The tube support and optional drill guide shown above are not included in tooling you get from Skylighter. And you only need to use the support if a motor is to be pressed with a hydraulic or arbor press. You won't need one if you're going to hand ram your stingers. If the fuel should ever ignite when you are hand-ramming a Stinger, the paper tube would simply split and the fuel would burn. But if the tube support was on the tube, it might explode violently and spread metal and plastic shrapnel far and wide. The optional drill guide is a handy tool when drilling stingers, because you need only one drill guide for any size stinger it is sold separably.
Rocket Motor Tubes
Standard one-pound stinger missile tubes are 3/4-inch ID x 3-inches long. These should be parallel wound tubes with a wall-thickness between 1/8-inch and 1/4-inch. Skylighter TU1060 tubes were designed specifically for these motors for a reason: Their thinner walls mean this short rocket is carrying less dead weight and will fly higher.
Paper Tubes Used to Make Stinger Missiles
Of course, sections of longer, 3/4-inch ID rocket tubes can be cut to produce tubes for these motors.
See this project on making your own paper tubes for tips on optionally hardening tubes by soaking them in Minwax Wood Hardener. Some folks use polyurethane, lacquer, or spar-varnish instead of the wood-hardener. Treating the tubes in this way is not necessary, but it does make the tubes stronger and less capable of absorbing moisture.
Please read and observe these fireworks safety instructions. These essays detail safety precautions for mixing compositions and for making and storing fireworks devices.
The most important safety precautions are: always minimizing the amount of exposed pyrotechnic compositions, wearing safety glasses, wearing cotton clothing, and safely storing compositions and devices.
Stinger Fuel
These one-pound stingers fly well using a 75/15/10 black-powder mix.
Chemical Factor % 8 Oz 227 Grams
Potassium nitrate 0.75 75% 6 oz 170 g
Charcoal, airfloat 0.15 15% 1.2 oz 34 g
Sulfur 0.10 10% 0.8 oz 23 g
This project uses commercial airfloat charcoal. All the chemicals must be fine enough to easily pass a 40-mesh screen. No ball-milling is necessary but the potassium nitrate and sulfur can be milled individually in a blade-type coffee grinder to ensure they'll pass through the 40-mesh screen. If you use a hotter charcoal or ball-mill your composition, it may be necessary to slow the fuel down by adding some charcoal, and re-granulating it.
After screening and shaking the chemicals together, use rubber-gloved hands and a spray bottle to spray enough water into the composition that it becomes dampened like brown sugar. It should form a ball when squeezed together, but the ball should crumble easily when poked with a finger.
Grate the dampened composition through a 20-mesh screen onto kraft-paper lined trays, forming layers of comp that are about 1/8-inch thick on the paper. Dry the granulated powder thoroughly and gently run the dry powder through the screen again to break up any lumps in it.
If for some reason, after testing a motor, you determine that your fuel is not hot enough to produce good flights, more potassium nitrate may be added to it, followed by re-granulating it.
And conversely, if the fuel proves to be too powerful, more charcoal may be added, once again, followed by re-granulation.
Each motor will use about 0.6 ounce of fuel, so an 8-ounce (227 gram) batch will make 13 or 14 motors.
Nozzle and Bulkhead Clay
Pure, dry, powdered bentonite clay (Skylighter CH8078) may be used for both the nozzles and the bulkheads in these motors.
To make nozzle and bulkhead mixes which are more resistant to erosion and moisture, see the project on making rocket nozzle mix.
Rammer O-Rings
When hand-ramming bentonite clay or rocket fuel, it helps a lot to have rubber o-rings on the rammers, as shown below. These o-rings are readily available in various sizes in the plumbing-supplies departments of stores like Home Depot.
Simply roll the o-ring down toward the bottom end of the rammer prior to inserting it into the motor tube. As the drift is pushed into the tube, the o-ring will contact the top of the tube, and seal the gap between it and the rammer, preventing excess clay or fuel from billowing out.
Rubber O-Rings Installed on Rammers
Cross-Section of a Stinger Missile
Ramming a Nozzle in a Motor-Tube
The first step to making a motor is ramming a clay nozzle in the paper tube. We need to be able to verify that the correct amount of clay has been rammed to produce the desired 3/8-inch-thick nozzle. Putting a "top of nozzle" mark and a masking-tape line on the hollow rammer facilitates this.
Align a motor-tube next to the base and spindle as shown. Put a mark on the tube 3/8-inch above the flat spindle-base. Then align the hollow rammer alongside the tube, with the bottom of the rammer even with the mark on the tube.
Put a mark on the rammer where the top of the tube is. Then wrap masking tape around the rammer, with the bottom edge of the tape on the mark as shown.
Putting a "Top of Nozzle" Mark on Rammer
Once a 3/8-inch-thick nozzle has been rammed, that bottom tape-edge will be even with the top of the tube. You'll be able to adjust the amount of clay rammed into a nozzle, so that the tape-edge does in fact align with the top of the tube that way.
That bottom tape-edge also serves as a "do not pass" line on the hollow rammer. That drift is never rammed farther into the tube than that line. That prevents the drift from ever getting jammed onto the spindle.
Now, to ram a nozzle, first place a tube onto the spindle so it's sitting square on the tooling-base. Place the tube and tooling base onto a solid ramming post.
When using finely-powdered, pure bentonite clay for the nozzle, one rounded teaspoonful (about 6 grams) will create the desired 3/8-inch thick nozzle. If a different "nozzle mix" is being used, this amount will have to be adjusted through trial and error until a 3/8-inch thick nozzle is created after the clay is rammed.
Put a funnel into the end of the paper tube, and introduce the clay into it. Tap the funnel so all the clay drops into the tube.
Remove the funnel, slide the o-ring down near the bottom of the hollow rammer, and insert that rammer slowly into the tube, compacting the clay as you do so. Slide the rammer gently up and down a few times to settle the clay to the bottom of the tube.
Now, ram the nozzle solid with about 12 good whacks of a heavy mallet, such as a rawhide mallet or a dead-blow plastic-faced hammer. Don't use a metal hammer or a rubber mallet.
The tube should bulge out ever-so-slightly where the nozzle has been rammed. This slight bulge can be felt by sliding your fingers up and down the tube in that area. Ram the nozzle until this faint bulge can be felt.
If the tube splits in that area, the clay nozzle has been rammed too forcefully.
If the correct amount of clay was used, the rammed nozzle should be 3/8-inch thick. This can be verified by seeing that the tape line on the drift is even with the top of the tube. The amount of clay measured out for future nozzles can be adjusted to create that nozzle thickness.
Remove the rammer and tap any excess clay out of the tube and back into the bucket of clay. Also, visually verify that there is no clay left in the hollow rammer. If there is, use a drill bit or an awl to remove it.
Hand ramming a bentonite clay nozzle for a stinger missile rocket.
Drilling the Tangential Spin-Hole
Now it's time to drill the spin-hole through the side of the motor tube, right above the top of the nozzle.
Reinsert the hollow rammer into the tube until it contacts the top of the nozzle. Verify that the tape-line on the drift is even with the top of the tube. Now remove the drift and hold it alongside the tube in that same position. Mark where the top of the nozzle is on the side of the tube. Put another mark about 1/8-inch above that first mark.
Spin-Hole Location Marked on Stinger Tube
A hole drilled right between those two marks will create a spin-hole that is just above the top of the nozzle.
Using the Optional Drill Guide
New improved, universal drill guide has a sloping set of holes in its side, with the distance from the bottom of the holes increasing from 3/32-inch up to 9/32-inch in five "steps".
The Latest Version of the Stinger Missile Spin-Hole Drill Guide
Choose the drill-guide hole which allows the drill bit to just skim across the inside of the tube-wall. The distance between the drill bit and the drill guide's base surface should be the same as the thickness of the tube's wall.
Mark the groove in the guide which is just above that chosen hole.
Slide the drill bit through the guide hole until it is lined up halfway through the tube. Install a piece of masking tape with its edge right at the outside of the guide.
How to use Skylighter's stinger missile drill guide to drill the side vent hole in a stinger missile rocket.
Using a nice, sharp drill bit helps the drilling process a lot.
Installing Rocket Motor Ignition Fuse
When one of these stinger missiles is ignited, ideally the fuel grain is lit right where it meets the inside of the tube. That may give the motor a little more time to burn and spin up, before fire is transferred to the hollow core in the motor's fuel grain. Once that core is ignited, the rocket will launch rapidly and still be spinning.
So, referring to the cross-section drawing, you can see that the ignition Visco-fuse should be cut on a sharp angle, and inserted only far enough to have its end flush with the inside tube wall.
Angle-Cut on End of Installed Ignition Fuse
Cut a 3-inch piece of the Visco ignition fuse on that sharp angle, as shown, with a razor blade or razor-anvil-cutters.
Cutting Fuse on Angle
Now insert the fuse through the spin-hole of the motor-tube until its end is flush with the inside of the tube. Verify this by looking down into the tube. Bend the fuse over against the outside of the tube. Apply a drop of super-glue to the outside of the spin-hole where the fuse enters.
That glue will hold the fuse in place, and perhaps more importantly will flameproof the hole somewhat, preventing it from enlarging as the motor burns. The super glue is not absolutely necessary, but it can be a good idea.
Note: One drop of the super glue is all that is necessary to flameproof the hole and hold the fuse in place. Too much glue can seep through the hole and seal the end of the fuse and prevent it from passing fire to the fuel.
Secure the fuse in place with a square of masking tape as the glue dries.
Inserting, Gluing, and Taping Visco Ignition Fuse
Ramming Increments of Fuel in the Stinger Motor
Now it's time to ram the increments of fuel in the motor. You can see from the motor cross-section drawing that there are 5 increments of fuel. When hand-ramming fuel in a device like this, it's a good idea to only ram as much fuel with each increment as it takes to produce a rammed fuel section that is between 1/2 and 2/3 of the tube ID tall.
Assembly of Stinger Missile
For these motors, then, we want to ram fuel increments about 3/8-inch tall. One level 1/2 teaspoon of the fuel will yield a rammed increment of that thickness.
You can see that the first three fuel-increments are compacted around the spindle and form the motor's hollow core. These fuel increments are thrust fuel--they burn rapidly as the rocket ascends. The bottom part of increment #4 also burns during this thrust phase.
The top part of increment #4 and all of increment #5 are delay fuel increments. They have less surface area and burn more slowly, which decreases heat and pressure. This delay fuel produces a gentle coasting of the rocket at the end of its flight.
Increments 1, 2, and 3 are always rammed with pure fuel. No metal is added to these increments, to avoid any sparking hazard or any damage to the spindle due to the metal. No charcoal is added in these increments, because that would slow the fuel down; and we're looking for maximum thrust from these increments.
Increments 4 and 5 may be rammed with pure fuel, or they may have additives to create sparks.
The photos and videos at the beginning of this project show flights of motors which had a little spherical titanium added to increments 4 and 5.
In a moment I'll show flights of some motors which had 80-mesh charcoal added to these increments above the spindle.
Alternatively, increment #5 can use a completely different composition which looks quite different than the ascending portion of the flight.
For instance Klofkorn mentions using a Green Star composition for the last increment. Other dry colored compositions may be experimented with as well.
Warning: Some colored compositions containing metal are more impact sensitive than the charcoal-based fuel we are hand-ramming. Gently consolidating these comps using hand-pressure alone--not mallet-ramming them--is safer. If they need to be packed tighter than hand-pressure a hydraulic or arbor press can be used.
Dan Williams mentions the option of using glitter, or this charcoal delay composition for increment #5:
Shimizu's "Chrysanthemum of Mystery"
0.45 Potassium Nitrate
0.50 Charcoal
0.05 Dextrin
For the purposes of this project, we stick with the options of finishing the rocket using thrust fuel alone or adding either a metal or some coarse charcoal to the delay increments. Either of these options will slow the fuel slightly, and create visually appealing sparks as the rocket ascends.
But first, verify the motor will fly well with the fuel we've made by using straight thrust fuel in all 5 increments.
Before ramming any fuel, put a "do not pass" mark on the solid rammer. This mark prevents the rammer from contacting the tip of the spindle when fuel is being rammed, which prevents accidental ignition of the fuel and the spindle from getting bent.
To create the "do not pass" line, first slide the solid rammer into the tube which has had the nozzle already rammed in it, and which is still on the spindle. Slide the drift in until it contacts the tip of the spindle. Make a little temporary mark on the rammer at the top of the tube.
Now, pull the rammer out 1/4-inch, and put a "do not pass" mark all around the drift at the top of the tube, as shown. This is the line beyond which the solid rammer is never driven into a tube with fuel in it.
A sure-fire way to prevent that from happening is to put a 1/16-inch-thick wrap of masking-tape-layers around the drift, with the bottom edge of the tape aligned with the "do not pass" line, as shown.
If you happen to forget where the "do-not-pass" line is when using the rammer, the o-ring will come up on the drift and contact the bottom edge of the tape-wrap, preventing the drift from going into the tube any further. This is a good, positive, safety precaution to employ.
"Do Not Pass" Mark, and Tape-Wrap, on Solid Rammer
Now we can ram some fuel in the motor. Each increment of fuel will be a flat teaspoonful, which should weigh 3 grams. The first thing to do is to verify that is the case with your fuel. Measure out a flat teaspoonful of your fuel and weigh it in a small cup. Verify that it weighs about 3 grams. Adjust the measure of your fuel to that weight.
The first 3 increments of the fuel will be rammed with the hollow rammer, since this fuel is rammed around the spindle, as shown in the drawing.
Safety Note: Measure out about 1/4-cup of your fuel into a paper cup, and close the tub containing the rest of the fuel. Minimizing the exposure of compositions and devices that you're not currently working with greatly reduces the risk of serious damage in case of an accidental ignition. Don't keep any unneeded compositions or finished fireworks devices in the same room or area where you are working.
Safety Note: When hand-ramming compositions, wearing a leather glove on the hand which will be steadying the device greatly reduces the chance of an injury in case of an accidental ignition. Also wear safety glasses and cotton clothing (long sleeves, long pants). Once again, don't use the PVC tube-support when hand-ramming.
Hand ramming the black powder fuel into a stinger missile rocket motor.
Put the funnel into the mouth of the motor tube, and introduce one increment of the fuel into it. Remove the funnel, and slide the hollow drift into the tube, using the rubber o-ring to minimize dust blow-by.
Ram that increment of fuel with 8 solid whacks of the mallet. After about 4 whacks, you can feel the fuel really getting solid under the rammed drift. After 8 whacks the fuel will feel very solid. We're not looking for bulges in the tube as we were when ramming the clay nozzle.
If the tube bulges or splits, too much force is being used on the mallet. But enough force should be used to really consolidate the fuel into a solid mass. There's a bit of "feel" you need to develop as you get used to the mallet.
Repeat this process for fuel increments 2 and 3, using the hollow rammer. After increment 3 has been rammed, the fuel should be solid right up to about the tip of the spindle.
Clean any excess fuel out of the hollow drift's core using an awl or drill bit. It is very important that no fuel be allowed to build up inside that core. If fuel is allowed to build up in there, sooner or later fuel can be "pinched" between the top of that core and the tip of the spindle, which could cause accidental ignition during the ramming.
Now ram fuel increments 4 and 5 using the solid rammer, keeping an eye on the "do not pass" line to make sure it never goes beyond the top of the tube.
Remember that for this first motor, we're using straight fuel for all the increments. Once we verify that the motors fly well with this fuel, we'll experiment with additions to the delay fuel to make it more interesting.
Straight fuel, using airfloat charcoal, will create a fine-charcoal-spark spray as the rocket ascends, and there will be a cool "whirring" sound if all goes as planned.
Adding Metal or Charcoal Sparks to a Stinger Tail
As I mentioned, the video of the stinger flight at the beginning of this tutorial showed a rocket with titanium sparks in its tail.
It is also possible to create charcoal sparks in a rocket's tail during flight, as shown below.
Launch and flight of a stinger missile rocket with a bushy 80-mesh charcoal tail.
To include either metal or charcoal sparks in a stinger missile's tail as it ascends, the metal or charcoal is added to the last two fuel increments. As was mentioned already, the thrust fuel around the spindle (the first three increments) is never modified.
Metal sparks can be created by the addition of titanium, ferro-titanium, or other metals. Charcoal (orange) sparks will be created by adding charcoal which is coarser than the airfloat charcoal already in the fuel--typically 80-mesh or 36-mesh charcoal.
To include these spark-additives in a fuel increment, measure out the flat-teaspoonful of the standard fuel for that increment, and put it in a separate paper cup. Add a "pinch" of the metal or charcoal into the fuel.
Swirl the fuel and the additive together, and then ram that increment into the motor.
Repeat this process for the final increment of the fuel.
Note: Hand-ramming fuels containing metal particles increases the danger of accidental ignition. Some metals are safer than others. For example, spherical titanium has less rough edges to grind against each other than sponge titanium does. Aluminum and magnalium do not spark at all. Granular ferro-titanium has hard, rough, sharp surfaces. So, when you are hand-ramming metal-containing fuels, for your own well-being follow all the safety precautions prescribed above.
Finishing the Stinger Missile
Put a flat 1/2-teasoonful of clay into the motor and ram it with the solid drift. This will form a clay bulkhead that is about 1/8-inch thick.
The rocket motor can be flown as-is, without a heading, to test the power of the fuel.
Once the fuel's performance has been verified, a heading can be added to the stinger motor.
To do this, gently hand-twist-drill a passfire hole through the clay bulkhead into the fuel about 1/16-inch, using a 3/16-inch drill bit. Dump the loose clay back into its tub.
Warning: If there is metal in the top increment of fuel, it is especially important to be very careful when hand-twist-drilling the passfire hole through the clay bulkhead. Do the drilling outdoors, with gloved hands and eye protection. Drill slowly by twisting the bit by hand, only penetrating the fuel grain a short distance.
Put two small pinches of the rocket fuel into the empty end of the rocket motor, filling the passfire hole with fuel. Place one large star, or several small stars into that void on top of the loose fuel. Pieces of flying-fish-fuse may be used instead of stars.
Note: Because of the rocket's short length and spin-stabilization, headings on stinger missiles are typically small and lightweight. One large star or a few small ones make nice finishing touches on these rockets, and this is an easy way to test new stars. A small amount of report composition may be used instead of stars to signify the end of the missile's flight.
Cap the end of the motor with four 3-inch strips of masking tape over the end of the motor, rotated at 45-degrees to each other. Press the tape down tightly on the top and sides of the paper tube. Then wrap some masking tape around the motor at its top to cover the strips of tape.
Ramming Increments of Fuel in Stinger Motor
Harry Gilliam at Skylighter likes to put small consumer fireworks festival balls (sometimes called reloadables or artillery shells) on his stingers. He does not use a clay bulkhead. He strips the green fuse out of the shell, and completely removes the lift cup from the bottom of the shell (saving the black powder). Then he simply seats the festival ball time fuse right top of the stinger fuel, and uses masking tape to attach it to the stinger. To make these fly straight, you may actually have to shorten your stinger to less than 3 inches.
The motor is now ready to be removed from the spindle. Twisting it in a clockwise direction, as viewed from the top, will loosen the motor from the spindle without loosening the spindle in the base.
Tap any loose clay from the motor and the spindle, and the missile is ready to launch.
Launching a Stinger Missile
A stinger must be launched off of a solid base and launch pin. This is easily made from a solid block of wood and either a sharp nail or a piece of bamboo skewer, as shown below.
The launch pin must have a smaller diameter than the core in the rocket motor and it must be long enough to hold the rocket up off of the wood base by about 1/2-inch.
Make a launch pin and base for launching stinger missile rockets.
The launching base and missile are now ready to take out and fly. Have fun.
There are some possible problems which can arise with Stinger rocket motors: the motor can fly weakly, sideways, or not very high, the nozzle can blow out of the tube, or the motor can blow up, "CATO", upon ignition.
If the nozzle blows out of the end of the tube, it was not rammed solidly enough, and future models need to have the nozzle rammed harder, resulting in the slight bulge in the tube described in that section.
If the motor flies weakly, then the traditional solution to that problem is to add a percent or two of potassium nitrate, re-granulate and dry the fuel, and try another motor. Or try milling the potassium nitrate to make it into a finer powder. Repeat this until pleasing flights are achieved.
If the motor blows up, then the fuel is too hot, and the traditional solution to that problem is to add a percent or two of airfloat charcoal, re-granulate and dry the fuel, and try another motor. Repeat this until successful flights result.
If your stinger flies off to one side, or rises and then starts to fly in a different direction, it may be top heavy. This is caused by tubes which are too long--long stingers will wobble as they spin and not fly straight up. Or your heading may be too long or too heavy. Reduce tube length accordingly.
Whatever modifications you make to the fuel and/or tube length, keep notes of them and their results so that you can repeat your success in the future.

Pop singer, songwriter and rapper, born Kesha Sebert, in 1987, from Los Angeles California.
Kesha's mother is songwriter Pebe Sebert – Pebe was the co-writer of the country song Old Flames Can't Hold a Candle To You, which Dolly Parton took to #1 in 1980 (and Kesha later covered in 2012). Pebe was a single mother on welfare – she often brought Kesha onstage while performing when Kesha was an infant to avoid paying a babysitter. The family moved to Nashville in 1991 when Pebe signed a publishing contract for her songwriting. Kesha would go to recording studios with her mother, and she discovered she had vocal talent. In high school, she took songwriting classes, and she wrote music with her mother. She started making demo tapes. Music producer Dr. Luke heard a demo and convinced Kesha to move to Los Angeles, signing her to a recording contract in 2005.
For several years, Kesha worked with writers and producers and performed as a back-up singer on projects for other artists. She was not making much money, and she started stylizing her name as "Ke$ha", inserting the dollar sign as an ironic gesture. In 2009, Dr. Luke was producing a song with rap artist Flo Rida, and Flo Rida wanted a female voice for the song. Ke$ha happened to be in the studio, and she performed the vocal in the song. The single Right Round went on to hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, setting a record at the time for first week sales. However, Ke$ha was not credited initially for her vocals, and she did not get any money for her contribution.
Right Round increased her exposure in the industry, and Dr. Luke finally agreed to produce an album with her. Ke$ha had been writing music for her debut album for 6 years, so she had 200 songs to choose from for the album. Fourteen songs made the cut – the electropop Animal was released in January 2010, and it was an immediate success. The first single, Tik Tok, was released in August 2009, initially for free on social media. By the end of the year, it broke the record at the time for the most digital downloads in a week, and the song reached #1 on the Hot 100. The song was the #1 song for the entire year, and as of 2019, it has sold over 25 million digital copies, making it one of the best selling singles in digital history.
Three other singles from Animal – Blah Blah Blah, Your Love Is My Drug and Take It Off – were top 10 hits. The album topped the Billboard album chart and was certified 3x platinum. Later in 2010, she released an EP called Cannibal. The lead single from the EP was We R Who We R – it became her second #1 single, debuting at that spot (only the 17th song ever to debut at #1). A second single, Blow, peaked at #7.
Ke$ha's next album, Warrior, was released in 2012. Warrior's major hit was Die Young, which peaked at #2 on the Hot 100. Several weeks after the release of the song, it was pulled from some radio stations because of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings. Two other singles from Warrior reached the top 40, but were not nearly as popular as her earlier work. In 2013, she was the featured vocalist in Pitbull's mega-hit, Timber, which peaked at #1. She also had her own TV show on MTV – Ke$ha: My Crazy Beautiful Life.
In 2014 and 2015, she lowered her profile due to personal and legal issues. She entered rehab to address a problem with an eating disorder, which she blamed in part on Dr. Luke. She also sued Dr. Luke for sexual assault and battery and several other accusations, attempting to get out of her contract with him. She checked out of rehab, changing her name back to Kesha – she removed the dollar sign from her name, saying the the $ was part of the facade of the old Kesha. Meanwhile, her legal action against Dr. Luke was dismissed by the courts.
While Kesha was forced to continue to work with Dr. Luke's label, Dr. Luke was removed as CEO, so he was not part of her next album. Rainbow was released in 2017, and it was a complete departure from the electropop sound of her previous work. Sympathetic to her struggles, she was embraced by the music industry. The album was critically acclaimed and Kesha received 2 Grammy nominations for the record. Rolling Stone selected it as the fourth best album of the year. One of the Grammy nominations was for the single Praying, which peaked at #22 on the Hot 100.
It has been reported that she is working on a new album, perhaps to be released by the end of 2019. Meanwhile, Dr. Luke continues to be a headache – he has sued Kesha for defamation and breach of contract, seeking over $50 million.
Kesha is another artist that is transforming from a bad-girl, hard partying image to an image of maturation and thoughtfulness. She's been through a lot of angst, and she certainly has a survivor sense to her music now. Here's a video from the new Kesha – listen to her amazing vocals in Praying.

Ukraine In brief
What is Ukraine's pathway to limit global warming to 1.5°C?
How to citeLast update: June 2021
This analysis was conducted on the basis of Ukraine's 2021 updated nationally determined contribution and before the brutal and unwarranted Russian military invasion in the country.
We are publishing it to show that the Ukrainian government had plans in place to facilitate a transition to a low carbon economy.
Once peace is restored, in addition to very large reconstruction and humanitarian needs, Ukraine will need international support to build a climate-resilient society and economy in line with the Paris Agreement.
Ukraine's total GHG emissions

Ukraine's updated NDC includes a commitment to achieve net zero emissions by 2060.

22 While global cost-effective pathways assessed by the IPCC Special Report 1.5°C provide useful guidance for an upper-limit of emissions trajectories for developed countries, they underestimate the feasible space for such countries to reach net zero earlier. The current generation of models tend to depend strongly on land-use sinks outside of currently developed countries and include fossil fuel use well beyond the time at which these could be phased out, compared to what is understood from bottom-up approaches. The scientific teams which provide these global pathways constantly improve the technologies represented in their models – and novel CDR technologies are now being included in new studies focused on deep mitigation scenarios meeting the Paris Agreement. A wide assessment database of these new scenarios is not yet available; thus, we rely on available scenarios which focus particularly on BECCS as a net-negative emission technology. Accordingly, we do not yet consider land-sector emissions (LULUCF) and other CDR approaches which developed countries will need to implement in order to counterbalance their remaining emissions and reach net zero GHG are not considered here due to data availability.
Our analysis shows that GHG emissions (excluding LULUCF) need to be reduced by 92-97% below 1990 levels by 2050 or reach levels 30-74 MtCO₂e excluding LULUCF. Remaining emissions will need to be balanced by negative emissions from the land sector or other carbon dioxide removal approaches. However, recent trends show Ukraine's forestry emissions are on the cusp of becoming a net source of emissions, which will need to be reversed to align with a 1.5°C compatible pathway.
Long-term decarbonisation
The draft Green Energy Transition Until 2050 also specifies that a 70% share of renewable energy in the power sector is technically feasible, however there are currently no such long-term targets adopted.22
Ukraine updated its NDC in July 2021, strengthening it significantly from at least a 40% reduction below 1990 levels (41% excluding LULUCF emissions) to a 65% reduction below 1990 levels (66% excluding LULUCF). This still falls considerably short of the 85% reduction by 2030 needed to be aligned with the 1.5°C goal of the Paris Agreement. Ukraine would require additional policies to meet its new target, let alone a 1.5°C compatible target.
The Ukrainian government projects a renewable share of power generation of just 13%, far short of a 1.5°C compatible share of 67%. The strategy also forecasts a fossil fuel share of 34% in 2030, which is more than double the upper limit of a 1.5°C compatible range of 8-16%, and only marginally lower than the 39% reported in 2020.
This strategy is currently under review, making now an ideal time to update it with ambitious 1.5°C compatible targets for renewable energy generation and a coal phase-out.
To ensure Ukraine is aligned with the illustrative 1.5°C pathways, direct emissions from buildings should decline to around one fifth of their 1990 levels by 2030, and reach zero between 2040 and 2050.
Recent efforts to improve the energy efficiency of Ukraine's building stock have centred on funds and loans to implement upgrades to residential buildings, but the scale of funding is not yet sufficient to achieve the wholesale changes necessary.
Transport emissions would be allowed to rise to 2030 under the 64% reduction target set in Ukraine's updated NDC, as emissions in 2017 were already 69% below 1990 levels.
A slight increase of the current target to 66% below 1990 levels would place it at the edge of the range of illustrative 1.5°C pathways (66-76%).
Ukraine's National Transport Strategy is lacking in detail, with many targets not quantified, including the "development of cycling infrastructure", "allocation of separate lanes for public transport", and "increase the share of public transport".
The source of over a fifth of Ukraine's total GHG emissions in 2019, the industry sector has seen decreasing emissions since the mid 2000's.
Despite this decline, illustrative 1.5°C pathways show both energy and process emissions could fall further to 2030, by at least 42% and 38% below 2017 levels respectively (92% and 73% below 1990 levels respectively).
Ukraine's carbon tax, one of the lowest carbon tax in the world at EUR 0.33/tCO₂, has proven virtually ineffective in reducing emissions since it began in 2011, though an emissions trading scheme is scheduled to commence in 2025.


TTB Update Regarding New Tax Provisions! | Wine and Spirits Shippers Association Inc.
TTB Update Regarding New Tax Provisions!
TTB states, "Expect guidelines for the new tax provisions for importers in June."
Alison Leavitt, Managing Director of WSSA, attended day one of the American Craft Spirits Association and DISCUS Public Policy Conference in Washington DC yesterday. The highlight of the morning session was hearing from TTB Administrator, John Manfreda, and senior members of the TTB staff, including Karen Welch, TTB Director of International Affairs, and Janet Scalese, Director of Labeling and Formulation Division, along with many other key members of the TTB team. Mr. Manfreda commented on the complexity of the changes of the CBMA (Craft Beer and Modernization Act), especially in regards to imported products. Ms. Leavitt asked Mr. Manfreda for an estimate of when guidelines would be published, and he commented that he expects to see the guidelines completed by June. WSSA will keep in touch with the TTB team in regards to this matter and will keep you closely advised.
Later in the day, the group attending the conference had a chance to meet with Senator Ron Wyden, D-Oregon, who advised that he is working hard to extend the bill beyond its current two-year time span.
Should you have any questions on the bill or need a list of congressional delegates involved in the process in your area, please let us know!


"Naina" opens with an ominous shot of a solar eclipse, as two events are simulataneously occuring in different locations.
The first, is a woman in the throws of child birth. The baby is presumed born dead. The other event shows a family on a drive. Their five year old daughter, "Naina" is happily playing in the back seat as the car is involved in a horrific crash which sends shards of CGI glass flying into little Naina's eyes.
At this moment, the film flashes back to the birthing scene where we see the "dead" infant open its eyes.
Flash forward 20 years, and we are introduced to a grown Naina. She is blind and living with her grandmother, "Parvati." Naina and granny are awaiting a phone call from the hospital – Naina has been on a donor's list for a cornea transplant. The phone rings and there's good news – a donor has been found.
Naina and granny Parvati head to the hospital for the surgery that will give Naina not only her vision back, but produce an unexpected side effect – she also receives "second sight," in which her world is now turned upside down due to her ability to see ghosts.
"Naina" is a complete and total ripoff of a much better Asian movie. Exept for the setting and some scenes in Naina having to due with Indian culture, this is a cheap, scene by scene rip off of "The Eye." The same ghosts, the same settings – all without the good acting, pacing and direction which, "The Eye" contained.
Everything about Naina was done poorly. The movie is dubbed in English, but yet there are scenes where the actors go from speaking Indian to English and back again. The acting as I mentioned is very poor. The pacing is off, the plot, though a rippoff of another film, manages to be convoluted. The characters' reactions aren't believable – in short, except for the creepy opening with the solar eclipse, there isn't one redeemable thing I can say about this film.
"The Eye" is certainly no masterpiece, but it was an effective chiller. If you liked "The Eye," you will hate "Naina." If you didn't like "The Eye," you will despise "Naina." This is the first horror movie I have seen from India, and I sure hope this isn't any indicator of what's to come for the genre.
Allumination Studios/iDreams Productions present "Naina" in a region 1, pan & scan DVD formatted in 1.33:1. The image is acceptable with decent color reproduction. Blacks are deep. Some grain and minor dirt particles pop up now and again and I noticed no edge enhancement. Overall, it is slightly better than broadcast quality.
Audio comes as an English dubbed, Dolby Digital 5.1 channel track that is free of distortion. Rears were active when they should have been with what occured on screen.
No special features are found on the disc except for a trailer.
"Naina" is a 100% skip it film. If you're in the mood for a foreign themed movie regarding second sight and haven't seen "The Eye" – go ahead and do so because "Naina" has nothing to offer.


Backed up phone list, How to reinstate?
Home » Topics » WinFax Premium Support Forum » WinFax Logs and Phonebooks » Backed up phone list, How to reinstate?
This topic contains 5 replies, has 0 voices, and was last updated by JohnD 9 years, 7 months ago.
I have a bit of a problem, I backed up the phone list under a named file and then uninstalled the winfax program and reinstalled winfax. Question is how do i get my phone book back, it wont import it so??? whats the next step???
What was the name of the phonebook file or files you backed up?
A phonebook consists of several files, so if you only backed up a single file you may have not properly backed up the data.
Although, if you uninstalled and reinstalled WinFax (providing you did not say yes to removing the data), that data still should be there and hopefully can be recovered.
well that would be great but the hard drive failed… so the files are lost, but what i backed up was a .WFA file… i wish i could find a program to open it… it is a pretty big file 29.7MB. If you have any other advice i am all ears.
a .WFA file is a WinFax Backup file, which (depending on the options you selected during the backup) can contain all or some of your WinFax data.
To restore the phonebook, you would need to go to Tools, Program Setup, Backup & Restore.
Click Browse and select the .WFA file you have.
Under "Restore these items", select "Phonebooks" and uncheck everything else.
This should restore only the phonebook. If you have existing data in your current phonebook, it will be overwritten with what data was backed up to the .WFA file.
I also recommend making frequent backups of the WinFax folder and all the data stored underneath this folder, so incase the WinFax backup file (the WFA file) file ever gets corrupt or lost, you can also recover data from the backup copy of the folder if you needed to.


The Department of English offers students a curriculum that is central to the modern liberal arts education. One of the largest degree programs in the College of Arts and Sciences, the undergraduate major in English allows students to emphasize literature or creative writing; students may also pursue other specialized programs such as honors in the major, an English major with an emphasis in business, teaching certification, or other independent courses of study. In addition to its primary benefits to intellectual growth, the English major also offers practical preparation for professional careers in teaching, professional writing, law, medicine, business, religious affairs, and all levels of government service-local, state, and federal.
The study of literature includes not only contemporary texts but also all the historical periods of British, American and other literature. In addition to familiar period or major authors courses such as the Victorian novel or Chaucer, students will also find courses in related subjects such as popular culture, literary theory, film studies, gender studies, multiethnic literature, folklore, linguistics, Caribbean, Middle Eastern, and other postcolonial literatures. All of these courses contribute to the student's knowledge of human culture and how literary texts as cultural artifacts relate to other bodies of human knowledge such as philosophy, history, religion, psychology, classics, and modern languages. The study of writing allows students to work not only in the familiar genres of poetry, fiction, drama, and the essay, but also to study related subjects such as rhetoric and composition theory. Students may also study the editorial and publishing process and take up internships in editing and publishing in a variety of settings.
The English honors program, traditionally the largest in the University, invites the very best students to supplement regular major work with specialized seminars and independent thesis work. Other options such as the English/business program or teaching certification allow students to supplement the major with rigorous and substantial minor courses of study.
A variety of activities and facilities are available to all majors. Two literary magazines, the undergraduate journal Kudzu Review and the graduate student-produced The Southeast Review, a national literary journal, are published in the department. Many students gain journalistic experience by writing for the independent campus newspaper, the FSView & Florida Flambeau. The department sponsors a year-long visiting writers series which brings twelve to fourteen writers and scholars to campus each year. The English department, in conjunction with the campus-wide Seven Days of Opening Nights program, also promotes headline writers, such as John Updike, Joyce Carol Oates, Amy Tan, and Billy Collins. In addition, the department has developed a series which brings editors and agents to the campus for presentations and individual consultations with Florida State University students. The department maintains a growing videotape collection to supplement classroom instruction, and two computer classrooms house computer-assisted writing instruction. All majors with a GPA above 3.0 are eligible to apply for membership in Lambda Iota Tau, the local chapter of a national literary honor society, which sponsors a variety of social events and career programs.
The department annually recognizes outstanding achievement with the following awards and honors: the Fred L. Standley Award for Undergraduate Excellence in English, the George Harper Award for Outstanding Essay Writing, the Betty Corry Award for Outstanding Undergraduate Creative Writing, the Cody Harris Allen Undergraduate Writing Award, the John McKay Shaw Academy of American Poets Award, the George Yost Essay Award, and the Mart P. and Louis Hill English Honors Thesis Award.


Charter Oak beat Claremont, 22-18, in the championship game to win the Claremont Tournament.
The Chargers have a very dangerous collection of weapons this season led by Cal-bound RB/WR Zion Echols, reigning Tribune Offensive Player of the Year QB Kam Brown and future super recruit Bryan Casteel.
Aram's Take: Like I said at the CO Tournament, the Chargers have some of the best skill talent in SoCal. Just hope they got some line play.
Congratulations to the Chargers. I was at the Claremont tournament. The skill players looked very good. The key this year to them winning a ring is going to be defense. Looks like can put up points. With Echols, Nash ,Castel it will be a matchup nightmare for most defenses. I also saw some promise from some of the young players also. But over the years of watching Big Lou's teams they can always put points up but lost many times at the end from a blown coverage, missed tackle, or an unforced penalty. If the line stays healthy and a few young player step up this could be a "throwback" year for CO and rings for everyone.
CO defense has one of the best HS coaches in Lehigh. If they coach up some tough linebackers, they should be fine on D.
That La Mirada game going to be good ..


Progesterone, like all hormones, needs to be in balance to ensure proper health. Progesterone is naturally produced during the second week of a woman's period, but her ovaries may produce it in excess.
A woman's body produces progesterone to prepare the lining of the uterus to accept a fertilized egg. When no egg is fertilized, progestin levels fall and the lining is shed, which is what produces menstruation.
Progesterone is a member of a group of hormones known as progestogens or progestins (the exogenous or synthetic versions.) These can be found in birth-control pills, in hormones given during menopause for replacement therapy, or in medications to correct abnormal bleeding problems during menses. These hormones are also used to counteract PMS syndrome, infertility, and pregnancy loss. Many women are aware of the effects of too little or too much estrogen, but have never looked up progesterone side-effects.
Progesterone levels rise during pregnancy and fall when menstruation begins. High progesterone levels will be present when a woman is having a multiple birth – twins, triplets, etc. – or sometimes in cases of luteal ovarian cysts, molar pregnancies, and some forms of ovarian cancer.
If a woman has too much progesterone she will suffer from a series of side-effects including fatigue, breast tenderness, bloating, mood swings, sedation, loss of libido, and vaginal dryness.
Approximately 30-40% of menopausal women who take progesterone experience unpleasant PMS-like symptoms such as moodiness, irritably, and muscle aches. Individuals who have had significant premenstrual symptoms while they were premenopausal are more likely to be affected.
Some women respond to even very low doses of progesterone with symptoms of excess. This is not so much an excess susceptibility as an indication that these women's endogenous production is adequate to provide for their needs. In practice, the range of progesterone tolerance can be quite narrow, and a tiny dose is all that is needed to complete the balance between the estrogens and progesterone.
Progestins produce moodiness and irritability by affecting specific sites in the brain. Changing the type of progesterone, the dose, the route of administration and the length of treatment can lessen this effect.
One mysterious effect in the progesterone intolerant women is bladder problems. Some women have either a great increase in urinary tract infections or a feeling like they are having an infection as soon as they try taking a "normal" progesterone dose. If bladder symptoms start and stop with starting and stopping progesterone, they may be related.
