Low birthweight (LBW) is a major predictor of early neonatal mortality which disproportionately affects low-income countries. WHO recommends regional definitions for LBW to prevent misclassifications and ensure appropriate care of babies with LBW. We conducted this study to define a clinical cut-off for LBW, and to determine the predictors and adverse foetal outcomes of LBW babies in a rural sub-division in Cameroon.
We conducted a retrospective register analysis of 1787 singleton deliveries in two health facilities in the Northwest Region of Cameroon. Records with no birthweight or birthweight less than 1000 g, babies born before arrival, multiple deliveries and deliveries before 28 weeks gestation were excluded from this study. The 10th percentile of birthweights was computed to obtain a statistical cut-off value for the LBW. To assess the clinical significance of the newly defined cut-off value, we compared the prevalence of adverse foetal outcomes between LBW (birthweight <10th percentile) and heavier babies (birthweight ≥10th percentile) in our study population.
The 10th percentile of the birthweights was 2700 g. Preterm delivery was the lone predictor of LBW (aOR = 2.0, 95% CI = 1.3–3.1; p = 0.001). LBW babies were more likely to be stillborn (OR = 9.6; 95% CI = 4.2–21.6; p < 0.001) or asphyxiated at the 5th minute (OR = 2.0; 95% CI = 1.2–3.3; p = 0.006), compared with heavier babies. Also, 6.1% of babies who had a birthweight between 2500 and 2700 g were more likely to be stillborn compared to heavier babies.
This study suggests that the clinical cut-off for LBW in this rural community is 2700 g; with 6.1% of babies born with LBW probably receiving inadequate care as the traditional cut-off value of 2500 g proposed by WHO is still used to define LBW in our setting. Further studies are necessary to define a national cut-off value for harmonisation of LBW definitions in the country to prevent misclassifications and ensure appropriate neonatal care.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) defines low birthweight (LBW) as the weight of a neonate below 2500 g at birth, often corresponding to the 10th percentile for its gestational age . Globally, 20 million neonates are born with LBW, 95% of whom reside in developing countries . Africa, carries the second highest burden of LBW (14.3%) after Asia (18.3%) . LBW babies are about 20-fold more likely to develop complications compared with heavier babies. Also, LBW is a major predictor of mortality among infants in low-income countries, especially during the neonatal period . LBW-associated morbidity is further highlighted as it is a significant determinant of failure to thrive, poor cognitive development and chronic diseases in both childhood and adulthood [3, 4]. Globally, LBW is a good indicator of public health problems like chronic maternal illness, malnutrition, hard-work and poor antenatal care . It has become increasingly evident that the traditional cut-off value of 2500 g advocated by WHO to define LBW may not be generalizable to every settings. For instance, some countries like Sri Lanka with a high incidence of newborns weighing less than 2500 g, do not have an associated high mortality rate . To this effect, WHO has endorsed the definition of a local cut-off value for LBW for every country . However, local data to define LBW in Cameroon, and Africa at large remains meagre. This is worrisome as some babies might not receive appropriate care due to misclassification . Njim and colleagues have conducted the lone study so far, in a sub-urban area, to define a practical cut-off for LBW in Cameroon using the 10th percentile . With the aim of contributing to the available body of evidence on LBW in Cameroon, we conducted this study to: define a clinical cut-off for LBW making comparisons with that provided by Njim et al.; and to identify the predictors and adverse outcomes of LBW babies in a rural setting in Cameroon.
The study methodology has been described in a previous study . Briefly, this was a retrospective register analysis of deliveries conducted between January 1st, 2009 and December 31st, 2016; an 8-year period. This study was conducted in two health facilities: Oku District Hospital and Kevu integrated health centre, in the Oku Sub-division, Northwest Region, Cameroon. These facilities conduct the greater majority of deliveries in this health district. This Sub-division consist of 93,000 inhabitants with farming being the main activity of the people.
All delivery records during the study period were reviewed. Eligible for inclusion were all singleton hospital deliveries. We excluded records with no birthweight or birthweight less than 1000 g, babies born before arrival, multiple deliveries and deliveries before 28 weeks gestation. Out of the 2343 delivery records reviewed, 1787 were retained, giving a response rate of 76.4%.
We collected data on sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of all included mother-neonate pairs which included: age, marital status, gravidity, parity, gestational age, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) serologic status and gender of the neonate. Foetal outcome parameters such as: birthweight, fifth minute Apgar score, and stillbirth were also collected. Variables were categorised as shown in Table 1. For a comprehensive analysis, parity was categorised into: primiparity – Yes (one previous term delivery) or No (more than one previous term delivery).
Data were entered and analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20.0. Categorical variables are presented as frequencies, proportions and percentages, while continuous variables are presented as means (Standard Deviation) and median (Inter-Quartile Range), where appropriate. The 10th percentile of the birthweights was computed to obtain the cut-off for LBW in our study population. The kappa Cohen coefficient was used to evaluate levels of agreement between the newly defined cut-off, the traditional cut-off value and the local cut-off proposed by Njim and colleagues . To assess the clinical significance of the newly defined cut-off value, we evaluated the likelihood of LBW babies (babies with birthweights below the newly defined cut-off) to develop adverse foetal outcomes compared with heavier babies. Associations between categorical variables were investigated using the Chi square or Fisher's exact tests where appropriate. The degree of association between the categorical variables was estimated using the odd's ratio (OR) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI). To determine independent predictors of LBW, a multivariate logistic regression model was built using variables with p-values < 0.25. Two sided p-values less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant.
Ethical approval for the conduct of this study was granted by the Regional delegation of public Health of the Northwest Region of Cameroon and by the directorate of both partaking hospitals.
Overall, 1787 records were eligible for this study. Maternal ages ranged from 14 to 49 years, with a mean age of 26 ± 6.5 years. Over three quarters of women in our study were married by the time of delivery. Also, one quarter of the women were delivering for their first time. There was an equal number of male as female neonates (50.6% versus 49.4%; Table 2). The 10th percentile for birthweight was equivalent to 2700 g. There was a moderate level of agreement (kappa = 0.54) with the traditional cut-off value of 2500 g proposed by WHO . However, our cut-off strongly agreed (kappa = 0.997) with the cut-off for LBW reported by Njim et al. in a sub-urban Region of Cameroon . After controlling for maternal HIV status, primiparity, maternal age and gender of the infant (Table 3), preterm delivery was the lone predictor of LBW in multivariate analysis [adjusted odd's ratio (aOR) = 1.5; 95% CI = 1.1–2.2; p = 0.001; Table 4]. Also, compared with heavier babies, LBW babies were more likely to be stillborn (OR = 9.6; 95% CI = 4.2–21.6; p < 0.001) or suffer from birth asphyxia at the fifth minute of life (OR = 2.0; 95% CI = 1.2–3.3; p = 0.006), Table 5. About 6.1% (163/1787) of babies with birthweights less than 2700 g were found within the grey zone (2500 to < 2700 g). These babies were more likely to be stillborn compared with heavier babies (OR = 6.4; 95% CI = 2.2–18.5; p = 0.006; Table 6).
The locally defined clinical cut-off for LBW in this community was found to be 2700 g, with preterm delivery being the lone predictor of LBW. Also, LBW babies were more likely to be stillborn and asphyxiated at birth. More so, babies within the grey zone were more likely to be stillborn compared with heavier babies.
To the best of our knowledge, only one study in sub-Saharan Africa has defined a local cut-off for LBW . Local cut-off values for LBW have been defined in some developed countries, and ranges from 2750 g in the US in 1992  to 3000 g in Denmark in 2007 . Our cut-off for LBW strongly agreed with the 2600 g previous reported by Njim and collaborators in 2015, in sub-urban Cameroon . These results which are similar suggest that the cut-off for LBW in Cameroon proposed by WHO might not be appropriate for use in clinical care, as vulnerable babies within the grey zone (weights ≥ 2500 g but < 2700 g) are probably not receiving adequate care as they are rather regarded to have a normal birthweight. In this study, 6.1% of the babies were found in this grey area. LBW is a significant predictor for neonatal mortality . Such misclassifications are likely contributors to the overall neonatal mortality. Indeed, babies born with birthweights within this grey zone were about six times more likely to be stillborn compared with heavier babies. This emphasises the need for more studies within the country to harmonise LBW definitions for the institution of appropriate public health policies to address the problem.
Preterm delivery was the lone predictor of LBW in this study. This finding is consistent with other reports from sub-Saharan Africa [6, 11, 12]. It is obvious that preterm infants will have a LBW, as they are not privileged to attain the required term for a normal weight. Preterm deliveries have been associated with poor antenatal care and chronic maternal diseases like HIV [6, 13, 14]. Nevertheless, we found no significant association between being an adolescent, a single mother, a female neonate and LBW. Also, the first pregnancy and delivery, and a positive maternal HIV status did not predict LBW. This finding corroborated with that of Njim et al. . In contrast to observations made by Abubakari et al. , we did not find a significant association between primiparity and a female neonate with LBW, probably explained by the fact that the authors did not account for confounders in their study. Finally, LBW was significantly associated with neonatal asphyxia at the 5th minute of life and stillbirth. This finding is consistent with other African series [6, 16]. This reiterates reports by Koum and colleagues which depict LBW as a major contributor to the early neonatal mortality burden in Cameroon , and therefore the need to implement evidence-based measures, like defining a local cut-off value for LBW, to provide appropriate care to these infants. Providing care to LBW babies using evidence-based methods might be key in achieving the third goal of sustainable development .
Despite its limitations, birthweight remains a relatively reliable parameter to determine the risk of neonatal mortality. This is especially true in rural communities where the use of first trimester ultrasonography for gestational dating is practically non-existent. However, the records of gestational ages (based on the clients' last menstrual periods) entered into the delivery registers might not be accurate as it is subject to recall bias. The length of the gestation is also crucial in predicting neonatal morbidity and mortality , and simply adopting the new cut-off value of 2700 g for the LBW might have limited value in curbing neonatal morbidity and mortality in these rural communities.
Being a retrospective study, we had no influence on the quality of data entered into the delivery registers. The risk of other neonatal complications like neonatal infection, admission to the neonatal unit, and hypoglycaemia, for example, could not be evaluated due to unavailability of relevant data. In addition, predictors of LBW such as use of recreational drugs, smoking and alcohol consumption during pregnancy could not be assessed due to lack of data collected on these variables in our delivery registers. This study was not designed to identify constitutional causes of LBW (genetic predisposition), highlighting the need for further research in this domain. However, with the large sample size (1787 newborns) and a robust statistical analysis controlling potential confounders, we ruled out several potential biases in the results obtained.
We have demonstrated that the clinical cut-off for LBW in this rural community is 2700 g, with preterm delivery being the sole determinant of LBW. LBW babies were more likely to be stillborn or asphyxiated at the fifth minute of life. A significant proportion of these babies may be receiving inadequate neonatal care as the traditional cut-off of 2500 g proposed by the WHO is still used to define LBW in this rural area. However, more data is needed through a prospective study design with larger sample size to define a cut-off value for LBW over the national territory; as this will guide the implementation of effective preventive strategies to curb the morbidity and mortality associated with LBW in Cameroon. While pursuing the validation of a cut-off value for LBW on a larger scale in Cameroon, it is prudent to adopt our current cut-off value for LBW in this rural community.

A Major US City Could Soon Elect Its First Independent Mayor
by Kyle Bailey in Campaigns Dec 4, 2017
independent candidates
Atlanta City Councilor Mary Norwood could be well on her way to becoming the city's first independent mayor and one of the most prominent independent elected officials in the country on Tuesday.
According to a survey of likely Atlanta voters released by WSB-TV Friday, independent Councilwoman Mary Norwood held a 6-point lead over her opponent, Councilor Keisha Lance Bottoms, heading into the December 5 runoff.

Norwood has attracted support from across the political spectrum, including business and labor, firefighters and police, LGBT and African-American leaders, and prominent Atlanta citizens, chief among them former Mayor Shirley Franklin.
In fact, almost all of Norwood's opponents from the November general election have endorsed her in the runoff, including Atlanta City Council President Ceaser Mitchell, former Council President Cathy Woolard, Fulton County Commission Chairman John Eaves, and former State Representative Margaret Kaiser.

Norwood filed to run for mayor in October 2016 and has run messages to #EndTheCorruption and #UniteAtlanta, making reference to the tumultuous administration of Mayor Kasim Reed.
Almost all of Norwood's opponents from the November general election have endorsed her in the runoff.

Reed, who defeated Norwood by 714 votes in the 2009 mayoral runoff election, has been plagued by scandal and his administration is under FBI investigation.
Reed, who has drawn comparisons with Donald Trump for his heated rhetoric during the campaign, including calling Norwood and Council President Mitchell "losers," has endorsed Bottoms in Tuesday's runoff.
No candidate received a majority in the November 7 Atlanta mayoral general election, setting up the December 5 runoff election between Norwood and Reed's handpicked successor, Bottoms.
Independent leaders across the country have been following the Atlanta mayoral election in the hopes that a Norwood victory could be an indication of independent political wins in 2018 and beyond.
Norwood makes no apologies for her political independence in what is a traditionally Democratic city, reaffirming that she is a 'progressive independent.'
Groups like Maine Independents, Washington Independents, and The Centrist Project, which chapters across the country, are working to recruit historic numbers of credible independent candidates to run for public office in 2018.
The Democratic Party of Georgia, which holds no statewide elected offices in Georgia, hopes to hold the mayor's office at all costs.
In recent weeks, the party has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on false attack ads that mischaracterize Norwood as a Republican and place her alongside photos of Donald Trump in literature that has been distributed in predominantly African-American neighborhoods.

The Democratic Party deployed similar attacks in the 2009 mayoral runoff election. However, this time around the Norwood campaign seems better prepared to respond with credible messengers, many of whom supported Kasim Reed in 2009 and have expressed their disappointment in his administration.

What is Specific Humidity?
Specific humidity is one way of measuring the amount of moisture, or water vapor, that is suspended in the air.
Written By: Ray Hawk
Edited By: E. E. Hubbard
Specific humidity is one way of measuring the amount of moisture, or water vapor, that is suspended in the air. In this case, specific humidity refers to the direct relationship between the amount of air laden with water vapor versus dry air in a predetermined mass of air over all. It is measured by taking the amount of water vapor and dividing it by the total mass of air in a given quantity to get a ratio or percentage result, usually expressed as grams of water vapor per kilogram of air.
Specific humidity remains constant regardless of either pressure or temperature, as long as moisture is not added or reduced from a given mass. This differs from relative humidity in that it changes with fluctuations in the environment. Due to this rather stable method of measuring humidity, specific humidity is considered a very useful reading in the process of predicting weather changes in meteorology. Chemical engineering processes also calculate specific humidity to determine how it affects the outcome of chemical reactions. It is also used in mechanical engineering to test the stress level of building materials such as precast concrete.
Absolute humidity is a closely-related concept. In absolute humidity, a ratio of the mass of water in a total volume of air is compared, or grams per cubic meter, whereas with specific humidity it is a mass of water in a total mass of air, grams per kilogram. The main difference between them is that absolute humidity readings will change as the volume, and, therefore, air pressure of a quantity of air changes. The term absolute humidity can be misleading, as it is a value that fluctuates with air pressure, and therefore it is referred to in British standards as volumetric humidity.
Weather forecasts often make reference to specific humidity in the context of predicting precipitation, as water vapor has a saturation point in air depending on temperature and air pressure. If the specific humidity of air is rising due to water evaporation entering the air from the ground or other sources and the temperature is not changing, then the saturation point of the air is also being approached, which could lead to precipitation. Relative humidity, dew point, and other factors also go into meteorology calculations as well. These are all affected by temperature variations and air pressure changes based on the height of a given region above or below sea level.

Marvel Fans Request Elon Musk to Save Tony Stark After Trolling NASA
by Rishabh Naudiyal
Tony Stark Elon Musk Marvel NASA
After getting rejections from NASA, Marvel fans have found a man who seems to be the one who'll save Tony Stark. We all know that Tony Stark is in space and in great danger as the oxygen is going to run out pretty soon and is the reason why Marvel fans are pleading here and there for his survival.
Well, it seems like Marvel fans are really worried about the condition of Tony Stark and the campaign seems to set new heights as it was the fans who started tweeting and pleading to NASA in order to send a space shuttle to save Tony Stark but it seems like NASA doesn't really care about Tony and it's really heartbreaking.
But, Marvel fans didn't stop there as they went out in order to find a person who can help them in order to save their beloved Tony Stark as we have seen in the trailer of the movie 'Avengers: Endgame' that Tony is on the verge of death.
After a lot of searches, it seems like Marvel fans have found the man who is going to save their superhero and it is none other than Elon Musk. Yes, you're reading the name right, it is the CEO of Tesla Motors who is going to be the man who'll save Tony.
We all know that NASA gave a quite tough reply to all the tweets they were getting in context of saving Tony from space. They tweeted.
"As we know, the first thing you should do is listen in mission control for 'Avengers, we have a problem.' But if he can't communicate, then we recommend ground teams use all resources to scan the skies for your missing man."
But, Elon Musk is the one who took the craze to another level as the Tesla and SpaceX mastermind replied to one of the tweets in which someone was talking about his cameo in Machete Kills where he met ex-Federale agent Machete before sending him to space.
Also, Musk was seen in the movie 'Iron Man 2', in which we saw him getting familiar with Tony and this is the reason why people are calling to him in order to save Tony. But, the tweets which have made their way on the internet are really funny and hilarious and we've collected some of the very best and they're down below.
So, I'm sure that you've got the idea that how big and hilariously this campaign is running at the moment. Also, the best part about this whole thing is depicting the love in the heart of fans for their beloved Tony Stark aka. Iron Man. We all know that there are a lot of people who are going to die in the movie, Avengers: Endgame.
There are a lot of reports on the internet after seeing the trailer that Tony Stark is the man who is going to sacrifice his life in order to save Captain America's life but not many fans are agreeing with this as we all know that Chris Evans is the one who is going to be dead as the reports of him leaving the MCU are already in there.
Chris Evans is the one who has been there with Tony in both fights and arguments but there are chances that we will finally see both of them working together in the final epic battle against Mad-Titan Thanos. But, we really don't know how they're going to do it.
Also, the introduction of Captain Marvel in the MCU whose movie is going to come before Endgame and it'll be the character who is going to do a lot of things and maybe will be the one who'll save Tony from death in space.
Well, do you think Elon Musk is going to save Tony? Tell us in the comments section below.

ArkwoodPond.info -- Scrooge and the Grinch Team Up
Scrooge and Grinch Team Up
holiday season in question again
by Doctor Charlie from the ruining-it-for-everyone dept.
Two days ago it was reported that The Grinch and Mr. Scrooge have teamed up to ruin Christmas again. In case you jerks don't have the spirit of Christmas in you and don't know who these people are, we'll tell you. You see, a long while back, there were these people, and one of them was named Mr. Scrooge, and the other one was Ebeneezer Grinch. On seperate occasions, these jerks tried to ruin Christmas in their own ways, but were stopped by the spirit of love. Now they're back, and they've teamed up now.
In their horrifying plot, they've decided to combine their strategies of keeping everyone at work while stealing all of their stuff. Then, after not paying them for their time, they'll send everyone to the store to purchase back all of the stuff they've stolen. No word was given from either of them about what they'll do with all the money, especially since they're thieves anyway, but the best answer we could get from them was, "This is the American dream. Capitalism baby! Yeah!" Our response was, Um... What?
When we asked resident John Sarcapizalit what he thought of the plan, he said, "Well, it can't be too bad if you think about it. I mean, you don't gotta worry about hanging out with the in laws now with this going on. I'm freeeeeee!" Poor guy. Got a point though.

Q: Catch statement does not catch thrown error in debug mode in an async function I do not know why catch statement does not catch thrown error when I debug the app.
This is the main function:
void main() async {
  final initialState = await persistor.load();
  bool logged = false;

  if (initialState.isLoggedIn) {
    logged = await initialState.silentlyLogin(); // <---- FUNCTION THAT THROWS ERROR
  }
  if (!logged) {
    initialState.logout();
  }
}

This is the silentlyLogin function of my State class:
Future<bool> silentlyLogin() async {
    try {
      await globals.googleSignIn.signInSilently();
      return true;
    } catch (e) {
      return false;
    }
}

In debug the googleSignIn.signInSilently function thrown an error, in this part of code:
@override
  dynamic decodeEnvelope(ByteData envelope) {
    // First byte is zero in success case, and non-zero otherwise.
    if (envelope.lengthInBytes == 0)
      throw const FormatException('Expected envelope, got nothing');
    final ReadBuffer buffer = ReadBuffer(envelope);
    if (buffer.getUint8() == 0)
      return messageCodec.readValue(buffer);
    final dynamic errorCode = messageCodec.readValue(buffer);
    final dynamic errorMessage = messageCodec.readValue(buffer);
    final dynamic errorDetails = messageCodec.readValue(buffer);
    if (errorCode is String && (errorMessage == null || errorMessage is String) && !buffer.hasRemaining)
      throw PlatformException(code: errorCode, message: errorMessage, details: errorDetails); // <------ HERE IS THE ERROR
    else
      throw const FormatException('Invalid envelope');
  }

In the debug mode, android studio blocks the app in the throw PlatformException line, but my catch statement is never catched, so my function always returns true.
While my catch statement is never catched.

A: The exception is probably thrown in native code and not passed to Dart at all. Dart can't catch Java or ObjectivC/Swift exceptions. The plugin would need to catch it in Java, send a message to Dart and in Dart an artificial exception would need to be thrown.

Q: Wordpress div responsive on mobile I customized the home template of this photography site to include 4 divs to highlight the 4 major sections of the photographer's portfolio. They are not responsive when sizing the browser or on mobile devices. What do I have to include in order to make them responsive? (media queries min max, not certain)
site: http://jeremy.insctest1.com
one of the divs:
div  onclick="window.location='/portfolio/architecture/architecture/';" id="item1" style="width:453px; height:400px; background-image:url('http://jeremy.insctest1.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/arch-home.png'); float: left; margin: 0 20px 20px 0;">
                div class="item-title" style="width:inherit; position: relative; top:350px; height: 50px; background-image: linear-gradient(to bottom ,rgba(232,232,232,0.8) 0%, rgba(214,214,214,0.8) 100%);">

            div class='b' style="
height: 50px;
width: 453px;
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
text-align: center;">Architecture

A: First of all you'll need to reorganize your code and add a class which will be able to do the same for all of the divs containing the images assuming that's what you want to make responsive, so you don't need to create a class for each one of these elements, then I'd recommend exchange the onclick="window.location='/portfolio/architecture/architecture/';" for a href because you're just using this to navigate through pages so no need to onclick href is the way to do it. all combined should look somethin like this:

and then put your css on your style.css file of the theme which will look something like this:
#item {
    width:453px;
    height:400px;
    margin: 0 20px 20px 0;
}
.float-left {float: left;}
.float-right {float: right;}
@media only screen and (max-width : 320px) {
    /* Your fix for smaller screen sizes example*/
    #item {
       width:253px;
       height:200px;
    }
    #item img {
       width:253px;
       height:200px;
    }
}

If using images as divs background is still a priority you use the code like this instead:

CSS
#item1 {
    background-image: url('http://jeremy.insctest1.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/arch-home.png');
}
#item2 {
    background-image: url('http://jeremy.insctest1.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/portrait-home.png');
}
.responsive {
    width:453px;
    height:400px;
    margin: 0 20px 20px 0;
}
.float-left {float: left;}
.float-right {float: right;}
@media only screen and (max-width : 320px) {
    /* Your fix for smaller screen sizes example*/
    .responsive {
        width:253px;
        height:200px;
    }
}

Description: This is an improvised art in Galician. The name "enchoyada" is given to the improvisation of couplets and the names "regueifero" or "cantadeiro" to the improvisers. Metrically, the "reguiefa" is a couplet of 8 syllables, and a lot of spontaneity (speed) and a high response capacity are necessary, without any interruptions or musical pauses. Currently the main home of "regueiferos" is the municipality of Bergantiños (A Coruña).

Happy Spring everyone! Now that the whirlwind of Winter in Toronto has finished, March Break is over, kids have adjusted to being back to school, and everyone is settling back into routine, it's time to think of the importance of taking care of your body, mind, and skin with the change in season.
While monthly facials may seem ambitious due to time and expense to the majority of us, we strongly believe in the importance of facials with the change of seasons. Many of us do a "refresh" and prepare ourselves for the next few months at the beginning of a new season by reorganizing, cleaning, and resetting our goals. In the same way we need to refresh in other aspects of life, our skin needs the same attention. After the Winter, skin is dry, flaky and wrinkles have wreaked havoc on our skin over the winter. Dead skin needs to be sloughed away, pores need a deep cleaning, dry skin needs to be hydrated, and skin needs a chance to breathe and get its glow back.
Facials are an excellent way to give your skin the TLC it deserves. Whether your main concern is clearing clogged pores, anti-aging, detoxification, calming irritation, or deep moisturization, a facial can help solve the problem. Treating your skin to a facial even a few times a year gives the skin on your face a chance to start with a "clean slate" for the next few months.
Before the fall and winter months when the cold weather often leaves skin dry, flaky, and irritated, a facial allows for freshly cleaned pores to absorb moisturizers and calming facial products more efficiently, and better combat the environmental stress of the winter months. On top of that, at this time of year, it's an hour to relax and recoup after the stress of September has finished. Really, we believe it is a win-win situation all around!
Do You Know What You Are Putting Onto Your Body?
Many of us have become aware of what we are putting into our bodies. Organic products are taking off, farmer's markets are thriving, and health food stores continue to pop up all over the city. Eating organic and avoiding processed foods is a great start to taking better care of ourselves, however, a lot of us are still neglecting to overhaul what we are putting onto our bodies and still using toxic body care products.
Is Nail Polish Really Organic?
Some people call nail polish natural or organic, but nail polish isn't organic in the same way that an apple or orange is. While many companies have developed non-toxic and low chemical formulas, they still do not meet our definition of organic and the quality of these non-toxic polishes can vary from brand to brand. You can however, still make a healthier, non-toxic choice. We know it can be overwhelming trying to choose the right product when it comes to natural beauty so this post will provide you with a few things to look out for when it comes to choosing a natural polish.
Why Drinking Tea is Good For You!
It's hard not to love tea. You can enjoy it hot to warm you up after a frigid winter day or cold to cool you down after a humid summer day. You can get teas both with or without caffeine, and it is a great way to stay hydrated. In addition, these days there is never a lack of flavour variety when it comes to tea. From fruity teas, to earthy teas, to tea flavours that resemble desserts, there are always plenty of options. Too top it all off, many tout tea as superfood due to its long list of health benefits.

DORCHESTER INTEREST: AN OAK CREDENCE TABLE
made from medieval timbers from the roof of St George's Church, Fordington, the canted top above a carved arcaded apron, standing on four carved and fluted legs joined by an undertier, 96cm wide x 69cm high x 37cm deep
On the 7th December 1912, during restoration works being directed by the Vicar, Rev R Grosvenor Bartelot, the wind stripped some new lead covering the roof of the nave. Plumbers soldering the lead back into place caused the remaining medieval oak roof timers, riddled with death watch beetle, to catch fire. The roof had to be replaced, this time substantially in teak.
At the same time sculptors and carpenters were carving bosses and remodelling pews and the Car engaged them to make up furniture from the old oak. The designs could have been those of the Vicar himself, or the restoration architect Jem Feacey (who died the next year) ,or the carpenters themselves.
Provenance: The Bartelot Family Collection, mostly the property of Rev. Richard Grosvenor Bartelot FSA, Rector of Fordington, Dorchester 1907-1939, or his son Major R St G G Bartelot.
Grosvenor Bartelot was born in 1868 and went to Crewkerne Grammar School and Wadham College, Oxford, in the 1880s. In the next two decades he served as curate at Corfe Castle, Anglican chaplain in Turin, and as the Bishop of Salisbury's missioner covering duties of other clergy all over Dorset. He became a noted antiquarian and genealogist and was elected FSA. Having been born a Bartlett, in 1898 he changed his name to the original Norman form, Bartelot. In 1906 he became Vicar of Fordington St George, Dorchester, and next year he married Evelyn, daughter of Alfred Pope Esq of South Court and Wrackleford House, founder of the Eldridge Pope brewery. Having retired in 1936 to Timsbury, Somerset, he died in 1947.

Gun control vs. mental health care: debate after mass shootings obscures murky reality
Experts say that blaming the violence on the mentally ill is inaccurate.
This story is from Kaiser Health News
After the recent mass shooting in Thousand Oaks, Calif., in which 11 people were killed at a country music bar, President Donald Trump struck a familiar refrain: "It's a mental health problem," he said of the gunman, Ian David Long. "He was a very sick puppy."
Similarly, after a school shooting in Parkland, Fla., that killed 17 students and staff members in February, Trump tweeted that there were "so many signs that the shooter was mentally disturbed."
Public health and mental health experts counter that blaming the violence on the mentally ill is unfair and inaccurate, pointing instead to lax gun laws. "Most violence is not committed by people who are mentally ill," said Dr. Renée Binder, a professor of psychiatry at the University of California-San Francisco and a past president of the American Psychiatric Association. "Even if you took everyone who had any kind of mental illness and locked them up and gave them meds, it would hardly make a dent on the problem of violence."
Post-shooting debates typically are painted in black and white — but research suggests that the truth is less clear-cut.
The "stigma-busting advocates," who insist that mental illness has no connection to violence, and the "fearmongers," who assert that "the mentally ill are a dangerous menace and should be locked up," are both wrong, said Jeffrey Swanson, a professor of psychiatry at Duke University who has studied patterns of violence in major U.S. cities.
While it is true that mental illness plays only a small role in most forms of violence, including individual homicides, its role is larger in mass shootings.
About 60 percent of mass shooters have a history of serious mental disorders and two-thirds had never been seen by a mental health professional, said Grant Duwe, director of research and evaluation for the Minnesota Department of Corrections, who has spent years studying mass public shootings. While that suggests a greater need for treatment, the one-third who did get help "carried out an attack anyway," he said. "So, even getting mental health care is not the panacea people make it out to be."
For instance, James Holmes, who killed 12 people in an Aurora, Colo., theater in 2012, had been treated by a psychiatrist and spoken of homicidal thoughts. But he was not reported to authorities because he voiced no concrete plan.
Seung-Hui Cho, whose mental problems dated to childhood, repeatedly talked to campus counselors two years before he killed 32 people and wounded 17 others at Virginia Tech University in 2007. Diagnosed with a mood disorder after threatening to harm himself in 2005, he was hospitalized overnight and ordered by a judge to receive outpatient treatment. But mysteriously, he was not assessed or treated.
Often, shooters' propensity for violence is easier to see in hindsight.
Six months before the shooting at the Borderline Bar & Grill in Thousand Oaks, police responded to a 911 call about yelling and banging coming from inside the house where Long, the alleged shooter, was living with his mother. They found an "irate" young man acting "irrationally" and called in a mental health crisis team. The social workers on that team evaluated and concluded there were no grounds to place him under a psychiatric hold.
It is unclear whether the officers were told of his history as a machine gunner in Afghanistan, which after the shooting led to speculation he might have had post-traumatic stress disorder. Only later did it emerge that Long had allegedly assaulted a track coach in high school.
California allows authorities to place people on a 72-hour hold to evaluate their mental states — a practice similar to that in many states. But the standard for such holds, known in California as a "5150," is quite high, said Dr. Garen Wintemute, an emergency physician who heads the University of California Firearm Violence Research Center at UC-Davis.
To be held, a person must pose a serious imminent threat to themselves or others or be so gravely disabled that they can't take care of themselves, he said. The law does not take substance abuse into account, Wintemute said.
"A 5150 involves taking a person into custody sometimes against their will," Wintemute said. "That's not something that's done lightly."
Dr. E. Fuller Torrey, the psychiatrist who founded the Treatment Advocacy Center 20 years ago, long has argued that society needs to be more forceful in getting care for the severely disturbed — and requiring it when necessary — to prevent suicide, mass shootings and other violence.
His goal is to get more state legislatures to pass bills like Kendra's Law in New York and Laura's Law in California that allow judges to order mentally ill people into outpatient treatment. His organization helped draft both those bills and has helped win passage of similar laws in at least 16 states. In California and some other states, however, the reach of the law is limited by whether counties decide to implement the approach.
Duwe takes no position on the idea of mandated treatment but said that doing so to prevent events that happen only a few times a year makes little sense. "Mass public shootings are more commonplace than they ought to be, but they are still too infrequent to design policies based on addressing such rare events," he said.
Gun laws that exclusively target people with mental health histories also make little sense, said Drs. James Knoll and George Annas, psychiatry professors at SUNY Upstate Medical Center, in a 2016 article in Psychiatry Online.
They "will be extremely low yield, ineffective, and wasteful of scarce resources," they wrote.
Wintemute argued that other strategic interventions may work better. He advocates fixing problems in the nationwide system of background checks, which requires firearm dealers to verify with the FBI that a purchaser isn't a felon, fugitive, domestic abuser or dangerously mentally ill.
He said flaws in the law include the fact that private sales, including those at gun shows, are exempt; only federal, but not state, agencies are required to submit data to the background-check database; and thousands of cases of violence by military service members — including that of a shooter who killed 26 people in a Texas church in 2017 — are not reported.
Wintemute also helped draft a California law that took effect in 2016 that allows family members or law enforcement officials to seek a temporary restraining order barring a potentially violent person from purchasing guns and removing any already in their possession.
These so-called gun violence restraining orders don't involve a mental health assessment, Wintemute said, but are designed to let family members temporarily get guns away from a relative at risk of doing harm, including suicides. The order can last up to three weeks and can be extended for up to a year after a hearing, in which the gun owner can ask a judge to return the weapon.
In California, 190 orders were issued through the end of last year, Wintemute said, results he described as disappointing. Numbers for this year have not yet been compiled, but Wintemute said they are growing. So far, 13 states have passed similar laws, beginning with Connecticut in 1999. Eight, including Florida, approved them in the aftermath of the Parkland shooting, and Florida has already issued 450 such orders, Wintemute said.
Physicians can play a key role by asking patients and family members if they own guns and encouraging the family to seek a gun order if they're worried, Wintemute added.
"If physicians are willing to see this as 'If you see something, say something,' and bring it to families' attention, we could decrease rates of suicide and possibly mass shootings," he said.

That is the code I am currently using to automatically hide the Safari iOS browser nav bar. However, if you look at it on your iPhone, you can see that the 2 social media buttons at the bottom are cut off and you have to scroll in order to see the full buttons.
My question is: Is there an easy way to make the page load automatically at the bottom of the page, instead of at the top? Because the whole webpage fits in the screen so the user does not need to scroll.
Thanks!
