USED RENAULT TRUCK TAKES AWAY RISK FOR GIBSON HAULAGE
Specialist livestock haulier, W Gibson (Haulage) Ltd. of Garstang, Lancashire has put its first used Range T460 6x2 into operation, citing first-class customer service and an excellent deal as its key motivations. Supplied by JDS Trucks and Vans and operating from the North West, the used vehicle joins the nine-strong Gibson fleet working principally on pig transportation for its UK-wide livestock haulage operation.
The straight-talking, no-nonsense approach of JDS's Used Sales Director, Julian Smith, proved a key factor in Renault Trucks getting a foot back in the door with the company for the first time since 2001.
As W Gibson (Haulage)'s Director, David Gibson, explains: "We've known Julian for many years, he's straight to the point and that's exactly what we like. When Julian contacted us and asked if we would like to try a Range T we thought, this is a guy we can trust, so why not give it a go?"
After evaluating the vehicle on a week's trial, Gibson was hooked. "We go into a lot of tight farmyards and we concluded that the Range T was a great fit for this type of operation. The driver said the manoeuvrability was excellent and the visibility superb," he adds.
For Gibson, the stand-out feature was the Range T's Optidriver automated gearbox, which selects the right gear at the right time depending on driving style and speed. "We were blown away by the gearbox, it's fantastic, and I'd even go as far as to say that it's one of the industry-leading automatic gearboxes on the market," he enthuses.
The used T460 is packed with additional extras including heated air-suspended driver's seat, 24L 'quiet' fridge, leather steering wheel with cruise and telephone control and Gibson has found it to be a great all-rounder as well as a big hit with the driver:
"It's nice to drive, it's comfortable and has a big cab - the Range T is a great workhorse and that's precisely what small businesses like us want," he explains.
Supplied on a two-year contract hire deal including service, repair and maintenance, which takes away all the risk, as David Gibson notes: "It's a great truck that was immediately available on a great short-term deal. The back-up and support at JDS has been excellent and everybody worked together so well to get the right truck for our needs. We are really happy, the Range T is solid and proving its worth and Renault Trucks will be on our radar for any future vehicle requirements."

SHAREHOLDER ACTION REMINDER: The Schall Law Firm Encourages Investors in Unisys Corporation with Losses of $100,000 to Contact the Firm
LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / November 23, 2022 / The Schall Law Firm, a national shareholder rights litigation firm, announces the filing of a class action lawsuit against Unisys Corporation ("Unisys" or "the Company") (NYSE:UIS) for violations of §§10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Investors who purchased the Company's securities between August 3, 2022 and November 7, 2022, inclusive (the ''Class Period''), are encouraged to contact the firm before January 10, 2023.
According to the Complaint, the Company made false and misleading statements to the market. Unisys materially overstated its financial guidance for 2022. Once the truth about the Company was revealed, it would be forced to revise its financial guidance downwards. The Company suffered from material weaknesses in its internal controls on financial reporting. Based on these facts, the Company's public statements were false and materially misleading throughout the class period. When the market learned the truth about Unisys, investors suffered damages.

Electing euthanasia is one of the most difficult decisions pet owners face. The thought of ending a beloved pet's life is never easy; it is a considerable and deeply personal choice. It is important to take the time to educate yourself on the subject and consider the options carefully. Doing so can help you avoid any feelings of guilt or regret, leaving you at peace with the decision you have made on your pet's behalf.
Euthanasia literally means "good death." It is the practice of intentionally and humanely ending a life in order to relieve pain and suffering. This is done via an intravenous injection of euthanasia solution, which is typically an overdose of pentobarbital or sodium thiopental. This overdose results in very quick and painless respiratory and cardiac arrest.
Choosing euthanasia for your pet can be an extremely difficult and distressing decision. Some factors, however, may help determine when your pet's time has come. Consider, for example, whether the pet is in incurable pain or continual discomfort that is not alleviated by medication, whether treatment of the pet's condition is no longer possible and whether his/her quality of life has significantly diminished. Your veterinarian can offer advice, guidance and support during this time and together, you can make the best decision for your beloved pet.
Is your pet enjoying the activities that he/she used to? Is he/she eating, walking and playing as appropriate for his/her age and ability? Does your pet seem to enjoy interaction with other pets and family members?
Is your pet able to eat and drink normally? Is he/she eating his/her normal amounts? If your pet needs to be assisted, is your pet getting adequate fluid and nutrition?
Is your pet able to urinate and defecate normally? Is your pet still housebroken or having more accidents?
Is your pet in pain? Is pain adequately controlled with medication?
It is important to be completely prepared once euthanasia has been elected for your pet. Remember that every pet owner experiences the death of a pet differently. It is normal to experience a wide range of feelings during this time, but preparation can help you cope with the next step.
When you feel it is time to schedule your pet's euthanasia, be sure to tell the receptionist that you would like to schedule an appointment during a "quiet" time of day, like early morning or evening.
At the Animal Clinic of Billings, all necessary paperwork and payments are handled ahead of time to minimize stress during this difficult time.
Arrangements for aftercare are often also determined beforehand, but can be made during or after the appointment if you prefer. Most owners choose to leave the deceased pet with the veterinarian for cremation. If you elect to have the pet cremated, you may choose routine internment, in which the animal is cremated communally and the ashes are spread together, or personal cremation, in which the animal is cremated individually and the ashes are returned to you.
Another important decision to make regarding this appointment is whether or not you would like to be present during the procedure. The choice to be present for the administration of the euthanasia solution is deeply personal and varies greatly from one pet owner to another. Many people simply cannot bear to witness their beloved pet's passing, while others feel it is important to support their pet through his/her final moments. Some owners may even choose to wait until the euthanasia has been performed before saying a final goodbye to their pet in private.
Remember, the grieving process is different for everyone and each is respected just the same. Some pet owners prefer to leave the hospital as soon as possible after their pet has been euthanized, while some may stay with their deceased pet for a significant length of time after the procedure. Some owners cry with their veterinarian over the loss of a beloved pet, while others may act detached. All of these are considered "normal" reactions to death.
If a trip to the hospital does not seem like the right fit for your family, the Animal Clinic of Billings also offers in-home euthanasia. This allows the pet to be euthanized in a loving, familiar environment and provides many owners with a sense of comfort during a very emotional time. A veterinarian and a technician will travel to your home for the euthanasia and provide transportation of the body back to the hospital, if desired.
Euthanasia can be frightening if you do not know what to expect. Before the procedure, your veterinarian will explain the process in detail and answer any questions you may have. Though it can be unsettling to think about, the more knowledge you have about this procedure, the more at ease you will be when your pet's time comes.
The euthanasia solution is made up of barbiturates designed to overdose animals quickly and painlessly by stopping the heart and breathing muscles. These are given intravenously to ensure the rapid onset of cardiac arrest, which generally occurs within 30 to 60 seconds.
In order to administer the solution, the veterinarian must gain entry into the pet's vein. In many cases, the pet will be taken back to the treatment area of the hospital to have an IV catheter placed before the actual injection is given. A veterinary technician will shave a small patch of hair on your pet's foreleg and place the catheter before bringing him/her back into the exam room for euthanasia. Placement of an IV cathether allows the veterinarian to administer the euthanasia solution more efficiently and ensures the process is as smooth as possible for you and your pet.
Sometimes, the veterinarian may also elect to sedate the pet before the euthanasia solution is given. Similar to an anesthetic injection prior to surgery, this painless injection will heavily sedate the pet so he/she rests peacefully. Some owners prefer to take a few quiet moments during this time to say goodbye before the final injection is given. Others may say goodbye to their pet during this time and leave the veterinarian to finish the procedure. Remember, this decision is entirely up to you and what you feel most comfortable with.
When you are ready, the veterinarian will administer the euthanasia solution. A veterinary assistant may help hold your pet or you may do this, if you wish. Within a few seconds after the solution is injected, the pet will take a slightly deeper breath and finally lapse into what appears to be a deep sleep. The total time it takes to complete this process is only a few minutes, oftentimes less. Finally, the veterinarian will listen to the pet's heart and confirm that he/she has passed away.
Though every animal is different, there are a few things to be aware of and prepared for as death occurs. In most cases, you will only notice a peaceful release of tension as your pet slips away.
The animal's eyes will not close once he/she has passed away. This can be quite unsettling for some people. You may choose to leave the room during the injection and return to view the body only after the veterinarian has closed the eyes.
There may be a last gasping breath or twitching. This is a muscle spasm that the animal is not aware of.
The animal may vocalize, though this is uncommon.
The heart may continue beating for a short period after breathing has stopped.
The urinary bladder and bowels may be released.
While most pet owners would prefer their beloved pet to pass away peacefully in sleep, this is a rarity. The vast majority of the time, it is best to choose humane euthanasia because the final stages of life can be painful and uncomfortable for your pet. During the gradual decline of your pet's health, it is important to work with your veterinarian to determine the best way to care for him/her, including making the very tough decision about when to let him/her go.
All the doctors and staff at the Animal Clinic of Billings have had their own personal experiences of loss and empathize greatly with the stress and difficulty you are experiencing. Remember, you are not alone—we are here to guide you through this process, including counseling you on how and when to make the final decision.
There is no easy way through grief. It can be especially difficult when you have to go back to normal life and find that you are still grieving your lost pet. There are many different ways to deal with all these feelings. Additional resources may be helpful for you as you navigate this process.


Demolition is in full effect!
This week, we made serious headway removing seats, rubber, and plywood flooring.
To our surprise, we were able to unbolt the seats in only a few hours. We expected this job to be much more difficult, but a combined effort of Alhen holding the nuts from under the bus and my use of the impact driver on the bolts inside, we finished in time for brunch.
The challenge we're encountering, however, is the disposal of the seats. They're actually quite cool - if I had space and time, I'd create benches, decor, exterior furniture - my stepdad suggested we create a miniature cinema space with them! Getting someone to take them in time to create the space we need to remove the floors... looking bleak.
I hate to throw them out, but with one side of the floor already loosened and ready to be stripped to bare metal, we can't afford the energy of playing musical chairs - literally.
This week also saw the beginning of many hardware store trips.
If you haven't yet been to a Harbor Freight, do it. We made out like bandits with exactly what we needed (and a few more things) for a fraction of what it might have cost at Home Depot or Lowe's. We made our first big purchase: a generator. It's a Predator 4000 Watt and having it to run the fan, charge power tools and phones, and so much more made working in the Florida heat just that much more tolerable. We also grabbed some necessities: sanding and grinding wheels, a level, masks, shop towels, gloves, eye protection.
Next week, we leave for Tennessee!
Alhen has driven the bus a few times, even once the hardware store, and has become quite pro when it comes to parking and maneuvering in places that are ideally meant for passenger vehicles. However, the bus has not traveled this far (about 700 miles) to our knowledge, and it'll be holding all of our stuff AND our pets. Talk about a serious moving truck.
Stay tuned, weekly updates launch every Thursday and occasionally, something special happens on Sundays.

This is kind of an odd one that I've noticed. In the "Jump To" box in the bottom right of the page, you can still access pages in the Russian section. Interestingly enough, in the "Jump To" box, they appear to be sub-forums of the Computer-Related forum, but this isn't shown on the tree on the top of the page.
They are actually in the Staff Board. It looks like it's in Computer-Related because non-staffies can't see the staff board. I don't think there's to much issue with it being accessible.

"The Einsatzgruppen Case"
Case No. 9
VI. Authenticity of the Einsatzgruppen Reports
The case-in-chief of the prosecution consisted entirely of contemporaneous documents with the exception of 48 affidavits, 34 of which were affidavits sworn to by the defendants before the indictment was filed. The principal proof offered by the prosecution in support of counts one and two of the indictment were more than ninety Einsatzgruppen reports. These reports were consolidated reports prepared by a special office of the RSHA in Berlin from the reports of the individual Einsatzgruppen. These top secret reports were distributed to a number of state and Party offices in Germany. Between July 1941 and April 1942 approximately 195 consolidated Einsatzgruppen reports were prepared in Berlin and distributed.
The defense alleged that the consolidated reports contained many inaccuracies and even willful exaggeration concerning the number of exterminated people. The defense also claimed that the author of the reports had no first-hand knowledge of the observations contained therein, that his identity was unknown, and therefore the documents constituted inadmissible hearsay evidence.
Selections from the evidence of the prosecution concerning the authenticity of the reports in describing the form in which they were compiled are set forth in pp. 97 to 102. Objections of the defense against the introduction of Einsatzgruppen reports as documentary evidence and extracts from the closing brief on behalf of the defendant Blobel, the closing statement on behalf of defendant Naumann, and from the testimony of the defendant Nosske follow in pp. 102 to 117.

Friday the 13th: The Game Creators Tease Upcoming "Project Méliès"
Posted by Christian Wagner | Aug 17, 2018 | Freaky Fun |
Gun Media released a new teaser trailer for their upcoming game Project Méliès. Their last game, Friday the 13th: The Game, was a huge hit among the horror community. (Until a legal battle over the copyrights ended their work on new DLC.) Gunn will be working alongside Bloober Team, creators of such psychological horror games as Layers of Fear and Observer.
With only this knowledge, we know we are in for a terrifying adventure. The developers are definitely keeping a tight lid on this one. Very little information is available on Project Méliès. This game could be based on the works of Georges Méliès (Impossible Voyage, Trip to the Moon), who was a pioneer in early filmmaking.
The teaser, titled "Yet He Stands", starts with seemingly antique footage, counting down. Until a door opens and we are lead through, all in first person. We continue down a dark hallway where the words "I think there's something in the dark." pop up as a title card harkening back to the days of silent film. As the footage turns the corner, we look up to see a pale figure walking across a bridge as the lights flicker above. After seeing this, text appears on the screen saying "Run, Jimmy, Run!". Us, now presumed as "Jimmy", turn and run away. As we make our escape, the film burns and then cuts, leaving the name "Project Méliès" on the screen.
Seeing how Bloober's earlier game, Layers of Fear is a psychological horror with a vintage aesthetic, we expect a high level of atmosphere and terror with Project Méliès. It appears based on this trailer that the scares will come from being alone in the dark as some sort of creature chases after you. Sounds like a fantastic time!
No release date for Project Méliès has been announced yet, but we'll keep you posted. What do we think of the new teaser? Anyone excited to enter this new mysterious world? Comment below or head on over to our Facebook group!

Revised Tax Treaty signed with India
Revised Tax Treaty signed with India: The last tax treaty between Cyprus and India has been signed in 1994. This treaty has now been revised by the two countries and has now replaced the old treaty. There has been ongoing negotiations between the parties and have been concluded in June 2016. Following those negotiations, the two countries have finally concluded on even terms and signed a revised treaty last month, already published in Cyprus Gazette.
Revised Tax Treaty signed with India: What are the revised terms of this agreement?
Following the conclusion of this arrangement, there has been agreement in terms regarding maximum withholding tax rates on dividends, interest and royalties as follows:
Maximum tax on dividends is at 10%. It is noteworthy the fact that neither of these countries impose withholding tax on dividends.
Maximum tax on Interest is at 10%. This rate would not apply in cases where the beneficial owner of the interest is the government. This applies also to political sub-divisions, local authorities of other contracting states. Additionally, defined Indian institutions in the agreement are exempted as well as other institutions agreed upon between competent authorities. In those cases there is no tax applicable.
Maximum tax on Royalties is at 10%. This number has been reduced from the previous rate of 15%
Other important revisions under the new treaty
The new treaty broadens the definition of a permanent establishment, which includes a construction project or a building site provided that it lasts more than six months
The new treaty provides for source-based taxation of capital gains arising from the alienation of a company's shares.
The new treaty includes updated terms regarding exchange of information which is in line with internationally accepted standards.
When does the revised treaty enter into force?
The updated tax treaty will enter into force once both counties exchange formal ratification notifications and will come into effect in Cyprus on January following agreement date.
The revised tax treaty is plays an important role in the establishment of good relations between the two countries as well as maintaining an important role in funding India's new projects.

Worse than Stickland calling vaccines 'sorcery?' Silence by those who who know better. [Editorial]
Opinion // Editorials
By The Editorial Board May 16, 2019 Updated: May 17, 2019 10:51 a.m.
Texans for Vaccine Choice rallied at the Texas State Capitol in Austin on March 28.
Photo: Matthew Busch / Contributor
Let's not reserve our outrage for the likes of Jonathan Stickland, the buffoonish far-right Texas House member from Bedford who attacked a prominent infectious disease expert on Twitter recently and equated Dr. Peter Hotez's life-saving vaccine research to "sorcery."
Let's save some ire for folks who know better and say nothing.
Gov. Greg Abbott and legislative leaders in Austin surely know that Texas has seen a 2,000 percent increase in vaccine exemptions since 2003, the year we began allowing parents to decline required immunizations for non-medical reasons. Texas saw a 14 percent increase last year alone.
No doubt, they're aware of the scientific consensus supporting vaccines as safe, life-saving and necessary to maintain so-called "herd immunity" that protects us all. A 2014 report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated that vaccines prevented 21 million hospitalizations and more than 700,000 deaths in the United States over two decades.
Surely, Texas leaders are aware of the record-breaking national outbreak of measles this year.
By The Editorial Board
Measles cases a sign that Texas is risking a public health...
We hope Abbott and the others saw the story Friday by the Chronicle's Todd Ackerman on a study showing Harris County is one of the nation's most vulnerable counties to an outbreak of the highly contagious, potentially fatal virus that was largely eradicated two decades ago.
Why? International travel mixed with the dangerous prevalence of parents opting out of once-mandatory shots for their children, according to the journal Lancet Infectious Diseases.
Yet, Abbott and others say little to counter the myths invented in debunked scientific research, half-truths and conspiracy theories of the growing anti-vaccine movement.
In 2015, spokeswoman Amelia Chasse said in a Chronicle story that the governor recognized the public health benefits of vaccines and encouraged all parents to have their children vaccinated, as he and the first lady did with their daughter.
But Abbott "supports current Texas law that he believes strikes the right balance of requiring vaccinations while still allowing parents to opt out under certain circumstances," Chasse added.
The problem is "certain circumstances" have morphed into any circumstance at all.
Abbott is quiet because it's politically expedient to be. It would take guts to take on the growing movement of anti-vaxxers and Abbott has shown that he'd rather defend his political prospects than the lives of Texas children — including infants and those with medical conditions who can't be vaccinated.
Abbott's support of anti-vaxxers isn't just tacit. After fellow Republican Rep. Jason Villalba filed a bill to end non-medical "conscience" vaccine exemptions, Abbott backed his opponent in the GOP primary, Lisa Luby Ryan — a darling of anti-vaxx group Texans For Vaccine Choice. She was subsequently beaten by a Democrat in the general.
After his loss, Villalba told the Texas Observer: "If we don't do something quickly, the blood of our children will be on our hands."
He's right. Yet, the deluge of anti-vaxxer attacks on lawmakers who have tried to reform Texas' irresponsibly broad exemption law has caused some vaccine supporters to pull back.
"I couldn't even get a hearing on my bills last session," vaccine advocate state Rep. Sarah Davis told the editorial board earlier this year. Abbott also had campaigned against Davis, a Republican from West University Place, in the primary. He supported Susanna Dokupil, supported by Texans for Vaccine Choice.
We sympathize with pro-vaccine lawmakers who have grown weary of verbal attacks and social-media trolling by vaccine deniers, but we implore you not to abandon the cause.
Those who rail against vaccines and choose not to vaccinate their children are still a tiny minority. But they are growing in number. If those who understand the scientifically proven benefits of immunizations withdraw from the debate, they're abdicating their platforms to the Sticklands of the world.
We salute the bravery of Dr. Hotez, who hasn't stopped talking about what he calls Texas' "emerging public health crisis." He's a pediatrician, dean of the National School of Tropical Medicine and Baylor College of Medicine and co-director of Texas Children's Hospital Center for Vaccine Development. He's also the father of an autistic daughter.
His expertise shouldn't even be compared to that of Stickland, a pest-control technician. Unfortunately, the echo chambers of social media have stolen our sense of scale.
That's why we need Abbott and other state leaders to tip that scale back toward science, modern medicine, and good sense.

Involvement of Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) that play a key role in the innate immune system has been discussed in the pathogenesis of IgA nephropathy (IgAN). There are increasing evidences that galactose-deficient IgA1 (Gd-IgA1) and Gd-IgA1 containing immune complexes (ICs) have critical roles in the pathogenesis of IgAN. We recently demonstrated that interleukin-6 (IL-6) can enhance the production of Gd-IgA1 by IgA1-producing cells. Moreover, A proliferation-inducing ligand (APRIL) may be involved in the overproduction of the nephritogenic IgA1. However, the mechanisms leading to overproduction of Gd-IgA1 and subsequent formation of Gd-IgA1 containing ICs are still unclear.
IgAN prone ddY mice were divided into two groups with CpG-ODN (TLR9 ligand) immunization (n=19) or without (n=19). CpG-ODN was injected intraperitoneally 3 times a week for 12 weeks. Renal pathology and serum levels of aberrantly glycosylated IgA (Gd-IgA), IgG-IgA ICs, IL-6 and APRIL were evaluated after 12 weeks. We also examined the mechanisms of production of Gd-IgA1 in human IgA1-secreting cells through TLR9 activation and stimulation with IL-6 and APRIL.
Mice immunized with CpG-ODN, but not non-immunized mice, showed mesangioproliferative glomerulonephritis accompanied by mesangial deposition of IgA, and C3. Immunization with CpG-ODN elevated serum levels of Gd-IgA, IgG-IgA IC and APRIL (P<0.05). Serum levels of APRIL significantly correlated with serum level of Gd-IgA and IgG-IgA IC (P<0.05). The activation of TLR9 induced production of IL-6, and IL-6 stimulation induced overexpression of APRIL in splenocytes. Moreover, in human IgA1-secreting cells, TLR9 activation enhanced Gd-IgA1 production through overexpressions of IL-6 and APRIL. Production of Gd-IgA1 was reduced by anti-IL-6 and/or siRNA for APRIL. However, anti-IL-6 could not inhibit overproduction of APRIL completely.
TLR9 activation exacerbated murine IgAN by enhancing production of aberrantly glycosylated IgA and nephritogenic ICs. TLR9 activation induced overproduction of IL-6 and APRIL. Present study suggested that TLR9-induced overproduction of both IL-6 and APRIL resulted in enhancing production of Gd-IgA1 and subsequent formation of Gd-IgA1 containing ICs in IgAN.

A local personal trainer turned to TRX to lose baby weight, and she has never looked back.
For Emily Frischhertz — a native of Des Allemands, Louisiana, and a personal trainer at M Fit on Canal Street — health and fitness was always top of mind. However, it wasn't until after her second child was born that she landed in her first TRX class as a way to rid herself of the extra baby weight. "In 2010, I became certified for group fitness, working in many gyms as a trainer," she says. "Eventually I wanted my own clients to work with on a one-on-one basis, and I completed my certification in personal training and returned to school to study exercise physiology."
After working at multiple locations over a period of four years, Frischhertz's group training classes were quickly filling up and her personal client business was taking off. At that point, she decided that she needed her own space to insure the integrity of her services for each and every client's individual needs.
She went on to open M Fit in an old, quaint New Orleans-style building, offering a variety of TRX suspension training that covers foundational movements in different formats and multiple modalities. "This method is built to be safe and effective for every level of fitness," Frischhertz says. "I find working out in multiple planes of motion to be cognitively stimulating, helping people grow and make connections to their multilevel, 360-degree everyday lives."
M Fit is unique thanks to the small group training and personalized service. "Small group training assures quality control in our classes by creating a one-on-one experience within even a group setting and allows our trainers to know each client personally, by name, and make modifications for each individual's needs," Frischhertz says. "As part of this rapport, we offer physiology assessments and fitness tests to monitor progress along the way."
As for Frischhertz's personal diet and exercise routine, she eats a variety of fresh foods mainly consisting of fruits, vegetables and lean proteins. "My schedule is packed with eight hours of demonstrating and motivating clients to continue to pursue their maximum level of training, followed by errands and shuffling my kids to one practice or another, cooking and cleaning," she says. "I find the time to add in a dedicated hour to my own workouts at least three days per week. I usually combine TRX and kettlebell exercises for my own workouts."
On Staying Motivated
"My biggest motivation is pursuing what feels good — and not having aches and pains, staying young, maintaining a physique I am proud of and comfortable in makes me feel good," Frischhertz says. "Making it a part of my weekly, and then daily interaction with myself (and sometimes with a group, a friend or my husband to add accountability and fun) really helped me to stay on track when I was starting this journey. Now I've come to understand the end result is always a work in progress and cannot be attained overnight. Motivation and joy can be found in the small results that become part of the new you."
Her Fuel
"My favorite foods are eggs, edamame, fish and my homemade fruit smoothies," Frischhertz says. "What's great about these foods is their high level of protein, which is necessary to fuel up pre-workout, prevent injuries, build muscle and burn fat. I can live without ice cream and snack food, but I have to have Mardi Gras king cake when it comes around, and I've been known to indulge in an extra glass of Champagne once in a while!"
"My greatest client success story is a 57-year-old man who was considered morbidly obese based on his body mass index — who was also HIV positive and taking immunology medicine, blood pressure medicine and a slew of other medications — and he did not have the ability to touch his toes when we began working together," Frischhertz says. "Now he has been taken off of his cholesterol medicine for over a year and has gained so much strength — able to do handstand pushups in the TRX straps — that he has switched to an even more intense Crossfit workout."
"Find an exercise that you enjoy," Frischhertz says. "There are many types of exercise routines out there. If you're doing one you hate, you're not going to be successful at it and will likely quit. The same is true for hiring a personal trainer: You want someone you enjoy working with, who's reliable and personally invested in your growth. Realize this is long-term, and you want a trainer who honors and respects your commitment to health and fitness — and who will work with you over time." 5590 Canal Blvd., (504) 644-4953, mfitstudio.com

The impact harm waiver, otherwise called discretionary vehicle assurance or misfortune harm waiver, can cost as much as $19 every day and movements obligation for crash harm from the individual leasing the vehicle to the vehicle rental organization. Nonetheless, your own accident protection should as of now incorporate risk protection.
On the off chance that your vehicle protection arrangement covers you for any vehicle you drive, you don't need to buy the rental vehicle office's protection. In the event that you can't give confirmation of protection, the vehicle rental organization expects you to buy the protection from them.


The companies that, according to the spokeswoman of the Russian Foreign Minister, Maria Zakharova, are involved in the transfer of arms and ammunition to the Venezuelan opposition are the state aircraft manufacturer Antonov of #Ucrania and Air Bridge Cargo #ABC, said intelligence sources.
Although Zakharova did not give the names of the companies, she was explicit enough when referring to #Ukraine while explaining that the dispatches are scheduled for early March to a neighboring country that would be #Colombia. The weapons and ammunition would come from #Poland.
The spokeswoman said that "there are reports that US companies and their allies in NATO are considering purchasing a large batch of arms and ammunition in one of the countries of Eastern Europe and then deliver them to the opposition forces of Venezuela," she said according to Sputnik.
"The delivery of the cargo to Venezuela is scheduled for early March of this year in several lots across the territory of a neighboring country, using transport aircraft of an international cargo transport company," she said.
A Ukrainian state company will be involved in the operation, she added. "Unfortunately, it is not surprising that in this ugly story the Ukrainian fingerprint is seen, in particular, the state company Antonov will be involved," she said.
Air Bridge Cargo is a subsidiary of Volga-Dnepr, an oversized air cargo transport group that mobilizes equipment such as locomotives, helicopters and even other aircraft. It belongs to Russian capital and its headquarters is in Moscow although it has operations and sales offices in the USA, UK and the EU.
At the end of 2014, the Pentagon put Volga on a blacklist and banned it from being hired. The company asked for an explanation and it was denied one. When it resorted to the legal system, it only received redacted documents and the only reason that was found was their delivery of 2 Sukhoi fighter aircraft to Vietnam.
In August 2015 Volga paid US General Michael Flynn more than US$ 11 thousand for a conference just when it required the information and the former soldier was a member of the Trump campaign team and previously, until 2014, he had been director of the DIA, the agency of military intelligence.
In January 2017, Trump appointed Flynn as National Security Adviser, although he was only 24 days in office, after it was verified that he had received payments from Russian entities as part of the alleged interference by Russia in the campaign to avoid the triumph of Hillary Clinton. #Russiagate.
In the middle of this plot is the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and it has made the maintenance of the Antonov airplanes (a Soviet era inheritance) difficult; and on the other hand, the role of Air Bridge Cargo, that uses Boeing's 747-8, has helped in the survival of the giant of US aviation.
According to Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova, the U.S. will deliver large-caliber machine guns, grenade launchers, man-portable air defense systems, ammunition, and artillery weapons for various purposes under the guise of humanitarian aid to the Venezuelan opposition.

Navalia bezeichnete bei den Römern sowohl Schiffshäuser als auch Werftanlagen.

Werften
Bei den Griechen waren Werften private Schiffsbauunternehmen (), die im Wesentlichen Handelsschiffe bauten. Auch Aufträge für den Bau von Kriegsschiffen wurden vom Staat an solche Werften vergeben.

Bei den Römern gab es zumindest zeitweise staatliche Kriegswerften (eigentlich "Helling"), so etwa beim Bau der Flotte des Agrippa 37 v. Chr. in Portus Iulius in der Bucht von Misenum. Auch bei den später angelegten Kriegshäfen Misenum und Classis bei Ravenna waren Werftanlagen vorhanden.

Schiffshäuser
Die Schiffshäuser () werden bei den Griechen erstmals von Herodot (3.45.4) erwähnt. Ursprünglich Holzbauten für jeweils ein Schiff, später Steinbauten mit boxenartig nebeneinander liegenden Räumen für jeweils ein bis zwei Schiffe. Die Breite eines solchen Gelasses () orientierte sich an den größeren Schiffen (Breite etwa 6,5 m, Länge etwa 40 m in Athen, 20 m in Pyrrha auf Lesbos). Die Schiffe wurden über ein flach aus dem Wasser steigende Rampe auf das Trockene gezogen.

Navalia muss es in allen Häfen gegeben haben, in denen Kriegsschiffe dauerhaft stationiert waren.
In ihnen konnten die Kriegsschiffe über längere Zeiträume aufbewahrt werden, wenn der Friede sehr lange währte, mussten sie erst mit einigem Aufwand wieder seetüchtig gemacht werden. Für Handelsschiffe gab es daher keine Navalia, da diese nicht über längere Zeit stillgelegt wurden.

Die Römer haben an der Architektur und der Organisation nichts Wesentliches mehr geändert, wie anhand von Gemälden und Münzen erkennbar ist.

Skeuotheken
Die zu den Navalia gehörigen Zeughäuser () bezeichnete man als Skeuothek. Bekanntestes Gebäude dieser Art ist die Skeuothek des Philon in Piräus. Weitere Skeuotheken sind aus Milet und Pergamon überliefert.

Fifty years after Stonewall, we must speak up for gay rights [Editorial]
Opinion // Editorials
By The Editorial Board June 22, 2019 Updated: June 22, 2019 10:53 p.m.
Thousands of people fill downtown for the 40th annual Pride Houston festival and parade Saturday, June 23, 2018.

In the early morning hours of June 28, 1969, gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender patrons at the Stonewall Inn in New York's Greenwich Village fought back against police harassment, leading to skirmishes and vigils that lasted six days.
The spontaneous uprising catalyzed the gay rights movement, paving the way for many of the strides made by the LGBT community over the past 50 years.
The watershed moment will be commemorated during this year's Houston Pride Parade and Festival on Saturday, where the theme will be Summer of '69, a nod to a year of seismic cultural shifts. That's only fitting.
We should all celebrate how far this country has come since Stonewall. In those days, being gay was a crime in every state except Illinois. In California, the punishment for sex between men ranged from shock therapy to castration. In New York City, police could arrest someone for wearing "fewer than three articles of clothing appropriate to their sex" - generally seen as a way to target gender-nonconforming people.
In the half-century since, we have seen the repeal of anti-gay laws, landmark Supreme Court decisions decriminalizing gay sex and legalizing same-sex marriage, and greater societal acceptance of LGBT people. An out gay man is running for president, and the 2018 midterms ushered in a "rainbow wave" -- with more openly lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people elected than in any previous election.
The swiftness of the changes may have caught some people by surprise, but dismantling barriers for LGBT people has benefited us all. After all, they are an integral part of our community. They are PTA parents and business owners, family members and fellow churchgoers.
Amid the festivities, though, we must be mindful that the anniversary comes at a perilous time. Since Donald Trump took office, his administration has systematically chipped away at protections for LGBT people.
The Department of Health and Human Services last month announced the expansion of the "conscience rule," which many fear will allow health care providers to refuse to treat LGBT people on religious grounds. There are reportedly plans to lift an Obama administration policy that forbids federally funded adoption and foster care agencies from discriminating against same-sex couples.
The Trump administration has sought to bar transgender people from serving in the military and reversed the Obama-era guidance requiring public schools to allow transgender students to use the bathroom that fits their gender identity. The Department of Housing and Urban Development saidit plans rule changes that would let homeless shelters reject transgender people.
Another HHS proposal would roll back a rule that defined discrimination "on the basis of sex" to include gender identity.
The slew of policies targeting transgender people only serves to push an already vulnerable population, which suffers from high rates of violence and suicide, deeper into the margins. In the past few months, there have been several brutal attacks against black trans women across the country, including Houston, Dallas and Washington D.C..
Overall, about 63 percent of LGBT Americans say they have experienced discrimination in daily life. Of those, almost half say they were discriminated against in the workplace, 14 percent in housing and 8 percent in the education system.
That makes events like this year's Pride Houston even more important—and more poignant.
Four trans women activists of color — Atlantis Narcisse, Dee Dee Watters, Ana Andrea Molina and Monica Roberts — are serving as honorary grand marshals, a tribute to the women at the front lines of Stonewall: Marsha P. Johnson, Sylvia Rivera, and Storme DeLarverie.
"I just want to live my life without fear," said Judge Shannon Baldwin, this year's female-identifying grand marshal, who was not yet born when Stonewall erupted. "I want to be able to — if no more than for one day, for one parade — walk down the street and hold my partner's hand without fear."
"As I look at where we are now, versus where we began, we've made light years in terms of advancement," said Baldwin, who as the first out lesbian African-American judge in Harris County is evidence of that journey forward. "But we are still so far behind where we should be."
Indeed, much work still needs to be done. We must all stand up against those who harass or discriminate against someone because of their sexual orientation and gender identity.
But that is not enough. We also need strong legal protections for LGBT people. Twenty-nine states, including Texas, do not have laws that prohibit discrimination in the workplace, housing and public accommodations on the basis of both sexual orientation and gender identity.
One way to rectify that is through the Equality Act, which would fill in that gap.
The bill passed 236-173 in the Democratic-controlled House and has the support of the majority of Americans. The protections offered by the Equality Act are basic civil rights, due to every human being. The right to be free from discrimination. The right to live a life without fear of persecution.
"We, the people," Barack Obama noted in his second inaugural speech, "declare today that the most evident of truths — that all of us are created equal — is the star that guides us still, just as it guided our forebears through Seneca Falls and Selma and Stonewall."
On this golden anniversary of Stonewall, it's time to live up to those ideals and pass the Equality Act.

Re-drawing Sulawesi's map
Written by Elizabeth Morrell
Megawati Presidency
Elizabeth Morrell
The heady days of new regional autonomy legislation brought with them expectations of political change and a sense of the potential offered by a new millennium. Curiously, this led to something the planners never intended — highly emotive movements for new provincial boundaries and districts (kabupaten), almost like local independence movements based on ethnic identity. This article discusses one successful new province carved out of South Sulawesi, another still under discussion, and a new district whole creation sparked violence.
In 2001 local businessman and politician Yusuf Kalla, now Indonesia's vice-president, chaired a meeting to discuss the future of South Sulawesi province. The meeting discussed options created by decentralisation policies which allow subdivision of Indonesia's provinces and lower levels of government. Various community leaders put forward suggestions to split the existing province into six separate regions — five new provinces, and the remnants of South Sulawesi.
Since that time, little has been heard from three of the new province movements. However, the two regions most distant from the capital of Makassar mounted strong cases. They had each struggled to become autonomous rovinces at the time of Indonesian independence. Those attempts failed because of political instability created by the Kahar Muzakkar-Darul Islam rebellion from the 1950s, the anti-Communist drive from 1965 and the increasing centralisation of the Suharto government.
Birth of West Sulawesi
In the post-New Order era these regions were the first to voice their intentions to separate, citing neglect by the South Sulawesi provincial government. One of these new provinces, West Sulawesi, was eventually announced in September 2004. The new province stretches along the north-western coast and mountains to the Central Sulawesi border (see map). The creation of West Sulawesi reinvigorated demands for a second new province in the north-eastern districts of the Luwu homelands and Tana Toraja. In this region, organising committees calling for the establishment of Luwu province are disappointed their wishes have not yet been granted by Jakarta.
West Sulawesi residents always had a stronger case for independence, and their proposal had passed through most levels of government approval before the presidential election. Even so, ratification came only after the organising committee lobbied urgently during the final days before tougher requirements for new provinces were introduced. Rumour has it that West Sulawesi only succeeded because a deal was struck with then president Megawati Sukarnoputri. She was allegedly promised loyalty in the presidential election should the province be approved. Megawati did visit the region shortly before the election and publicly agreed to the planned province. However, despite grateful campaigning by some new province supporters, she only received a minority of the vote.
West Sulawesi could be released because it had not been a strong contributor to the South Sulawesi economy. This lack of development was a prime motivation for separation. On the other hand, the Luwu homelands are often described as the 'heart' of the South Sulawesi economy. Luwu was an early location for plantation agribusiness, and is home to the large nickel mine operated by PT Inco.
Luwu and Toraja
The Luwu struggle has also been weakened by disagreements about the composition of the proposed province — primarily about whether or not Tana Toraja district should be included in it. Long-term rivalry between sections of the Luwu and Toraja communities re-emerged over this question. The principal concern for those in Luwu opposing Toraja's inclusion was fear of dominance by Tana Toraja. The Toraja region is smaller than Luwu, but it is better known because its unique cultural practices have attracted attention through domestic and international tourism. In addition, higher levels of education, resulting principally from the early establishment of Christian schools, have produced a broad base of well-educated Torajans, including a strong expatriate community. Many opponents feared a Torajan governor would be appointed.
From the early stages, Tana Toraja had been included in the plan for the new province, which at that time was known as Luwu Raya (Greater Luwu). However, after divisive public debates, Toraja was excluded. The various interest groups then continued their calls for a new province, covering only the four districts of the Luwu homelands. The proposed name was changed to Luwu province. But in 2004, regulations for establishing new provinces were tightened, increasing the required number of districts, and renewed approaches were made to Tana Toraja. In November 2004 the Torajan local parliament expressed 'in principle' agreement to be part of the proposed province.
Violent disputes
Disagreements about including Toraja in the proposed Luwu province produced some resentment, and this deepened existing mistrust. But at least this was expressed publicly in open debate. More serious disputes have emerged from new district boundaries within the West Sulawesi area. Here the problem is related to the relocation of district boundaries rather than to the establishment of the new province. Once again antagonism has emerged as a result of cultural difference and fear of economic disadvantage.
In 2002, the new district of Mamasa was formed in what is now West Sulawesi, following calls for autonomy by an indigenous Christian community, often called the Mamasa Toraja, who live in the mountainous interior of the west coast. The Mamasa township had previously been part of the district known as Polewali-Mamasa, based in the Islamic coastal town of Polewali, a slow, five-hour car or bus trip away, accessible only by a narrow winding mountain road.
The division of the Polewali-Mamasa district in this way resulted in the cultural and economic isolation of three Muslim sub-districts (kecamatan). These sub-districts were incorporated into the new Mamasa district against majority wishes. During negotiations, many residents had argued that they should not be included in the mountain district. The three sub-districts are economically stronger than the rest of Mamasa, and had always looked to coastal towns for markets and administration. The original proposal, which was approved by the South Sulawesi government, recognised these needs. But Jakarta decision-making overrode local knowledge and wishes, and the central government included the three sub-districts as part of the new Mamasa district, possibly to boost its struggling economy.
In the two years since inclusion in the Mamasa district, violence resulting in deaths and property damage has occurred on several occasions. Six deaths have been recorded, nine people are missing, numerous injuries have been suffered, and over 50 houses and one church have been destroyed. Thousands of residents fled their homes during the violent outbreaks, and trust has been lost between those members of the community who wish to join Mamasa district, and those who do not.
After the latest outbreak in October 2004, 400 police and soldiers were sent to the area. Police arrested over 30 suspects, and investigations revealed that the conflict may have been made worse by instigators of religious violence in Poso, in the neighbouring Central Sulawesi province. One Poso resident was amongst those arrested, possessing a weapon. Two others had escaped arrest. Despite this, most people do not view the Mamasa violence as religious conflict. In fact, one Christian community also opposed its inclusion into Mamasa, and some fighting occurred between Islamic residents who were for and against the changes.
Political, not religious conflict
Most observers see the Mamasa conflict as political, based on underlying tensions brought to the surface by the formation of the Mamasa district. Some observers also believe the conflict may have been inflamed by South Sulawesi government and economic interests aiming to prevent or obstruct formation of the new province. Others allege that media bias increased the tension.
By November 2004 the latest outbreak of Mamasa violence had calmed. The violence ended after police coordinated negotiations, and a formal treaty was signed by representatives of both sides. However, rumours and misinformation have created further suspicion. People throughout the Torajan highlands worry that any renewed conflict in Mamasa may prompt extremist organisations to come to the area. No one I spoke to believed the Mamasa violence was the result of fundamentalism. Yet most feared it could attract extremist groups, including the paramilitary wing of the South Sulawesi Syariah Law movement, which has been held responsible for bombings in Makassar and violence in Maluku and Poso.
The Mamasa conflict presents a challenge for the new province of West Sulawesi. In November 2004, the South Sulawesi government was planning a judicial review of the legislation which established the new province, querying the financial assistance it is required to give during the transition period. But any delays in funding the new province will hinder attempts to build peace. Bureaucratic disagreement may once again provoke conflict.

Ron Jones brings home cinema experience to Nigeria
By Chuks Nwane 03 August 2019 | 3:38 am
Despite the rising influence of digital media in providing entertainment on the go via mobile phones and tablets, cinema remains a very popular form of recreation; it has become a sort of lifestyle. Even at that, watching movies at the cinema is entirely different from the regular TV screens; the feeling is different.
Findings indicate that the larger the screen, the greater the extent to which the viewers are drawn into the action. Besides, the greatest film secret for maximum audience impact is master-level use of sound effects, ambiances, hard effects and their use in the panoramic spectrum. So, no matter where the trend goes, the cinema will be around for a long haul.
Infinite Technology Global (I.T.G.), a US-based company that skillfully merges leading-edge technology with human craftsmanship, is taking cinema experience to private homes. These riveting Home Theater systems can adapt to any space, whether you are building your dream home or remodeling an existing space
The I.T.G.'s custom home theaters come fully equipped with total lighting control, custom seating, combined acoustical treatment and audio set-up for your entertaining enjoyment. Featuring personalised custom control for simplified operation, the touch of one button, for example, gracefully dims the lights, closes the automated curtains. Then energises all the electronics set the volume at a comfortable level and displays the crystal-clear pristine video on a massive cinema screen.
Having made a noticeable impact in the United States, Ron Jones, the CEO of Infinite Technology Global, is currently expanding its operations to Africa, with a state-of-the-art showroom already operational in Victoria Island, Lagos, Jones strives to provide expertise, leadership, and innovation to the consumer electronics industry. His background in communication and electronic engineering and nearly 35 years' experience running and starting companies in the CE industry has enabled him to become an in pioneer home automation, as well as work with emerging companies to help develop technologies and marketing strategies.
"Infinite Technology Global is a team of experienced professionals, who integrate state-of-the-art audio, video, lighting, communications, and control equipment into both new and existing construction. We work closely with architects, interior designers, builders and directly with owners. We take responsibility for all aspects of our projects, from initial design through installation, maintenance, service, and training," Jones said in an interview with The Guardian.
"At Infinite Technology Global, it is our goal to design luxury home theater rooms for our exclusive cliental. I wish to create your very own movie palace, Infinite Technology Global makes it possible. With our designed home theaters, you'll enjoy the authentic cinematic experience right at home."
Giving insight into the operating principles that drive the firm, Jones hinted that I.T.G was built three pillars.
"First is an exceptional product; we carefully select only the best in segment electronics that have a proven record for the highest performance and reliability. Due to our ranking and longevity, we are partnered with some of the world's most exclusive brands."
While describing craftsmanship as one of the defining qualities of an ITG system, he said, "Our select clients quickly notice our team's commitment and expertise. This has been developed through years of training and experience. The entire team works meticulously to creating unique solutions and maintain the extremely high standards that have become central to the ITG identity.
Again, we offer a premium client service. We pride ourselves on making sure each and every client is catered to at an elevated level; it starts on day one and extends to follow up and ongoing maintenance. Our Lagos base support team consists of highly trained engineers and technicians, which are always available to assist with any concerns. While we are Global in resources, we are local to our clients' needs." he said.
As exciting as the experience has been so far, working in this sector comes with its challenges. But as the old saying goes, a smooth sea never made a skilled sailor.
"Sure! For instance, we received a consultation request from the CFO of the world's second-largest bank; the house was immaculate. Immediately, you could sense a great amount of tension. After about three minutes, I fully understood why. The husband wanted to convert the space into a cinema room. While the two prior interviewed companies' solutions would achieve installing the necessary equipment, the end result would completely demolish the meticulously designed room esthetics.
"I knew we had to craft a nontraditional solution. After brainstorming with our in-house cabinetmakers, we came up with a Brazilian mahogany cabinet to accommodate the latest 4k Laser projector and the audiophile-grade sound components. Upon installation, the custom cabinet blended tastefully with the rooms existing mahogany accents."
The second task was concealing a massive 3-meter theater screen and the team worked diligently to implement a tri-folded screen mechanism.
"When the screen is not in use, it folds to reduce the footprint to 1\3 open width. Then the tri-folded screen is totally hidden by an integrated oil painting selected by the designer. Upon entering the room, there's zero indication that a massive screen is there; just a beautiful piece of art."
With a stunning 3 meter 4k picture and amazing sound quality, the end result is a Stealth Cinema that totally surpassed the husband's expectation.
"When not in use, all of the equipment is totally concealed. The combination of unique materials and meticulous craftsmanship created a finished product that greatly enhanced the room's character. I was very surprised on my 7-day to follow up visit when the wife stated there was a new problem; she said all of their friends were truly astonished at the end result, but now they keep inviting themselves over. As we laughed over it, my only suggestion was to charge admission," he recalled.
Speaking on his experience in Nigeria, he said, "We are currently seeking to collaborate with Nigeria's top interior designers, architects, builders, and craftsmen. Contemporaneously, the goal is to continue growing our ever-expanding list of content clients. Meanwhile, we are always looking for knowledgeable team members to augment with our Nigerian/US team."

Considering that I started blogging as a way to keep my family and friends updated on my pregnancy and then motherhood, I only just realized that I have never actually shared Miles' birth story on here. With Mother's Day around the corner, it seems like the perfect time.
People say that God won't give you more than you can handle, and I'm so thankful He seems to know what a weenie I am because I had a pretty uneventful pregnancy. I experienced some mild nausea (easily abated with a lollipop or some crackers) early on, and my feet swelled quite a bit towards the end (an excuse for me to lounge on the couch). Overall, though, I know I was very lucky.
It worked out really well that Miles' due date was New Year's Eve. At the time, I was working for a church where we always had the week between Christmas and the New Year off, so I was able to work right up until the end.
My husband and I had our annual Fowler Family Christmas, which we do at home a few days before actual Christmas every year before flying to see our families, and my parents flew in a couple of days later.
At around 11:00pm on December 28, I started feeling what I knew right away were contractions. Guess what? They're not fun. I have experienced some pretty bad cramps in my day, and this was much, much worse.
David got home after a show (he's was working on Once off-Broadway at that point, and we were in bed. I knew all along that I wanted to stay home as long as possible, so he helped me time them… until he fell asleep. I was kind of annoyed, but I figured neither of us would be getting much sleep for a while, so I let him snooze while I continued to time them.
It wasn't until close to 4:00am that I felt like it was time to go. After confirming with the doctor by phone, I woke him up and called a car service (oh, New York…). We let my parents know we were headed to the hospital, but that they should keep sleeping. No need for everyone to be there when it could still potentially be several hours before any action.
We checked in, and they admitted pretty quickly since I was already 6 cm dilated. By that point, I was more than ready for a visit from the anesthesiologist. I applaud women who live that natural birth life, but see above: weenie.
I woke up a couple of hours later; apparently it was go time. My water never broke, so the doctors (yes, multiple – I had two doctors AND a midwife present at my delivery) took care of it manually.
A few pushes later, and Miles Fowler joined us at 12:08pm.
The doctors took Miles, cleaned him off, and handed him to David. Um, hello? I would love to hold that human that just came out of me. But then I noticed the doctors were still at work.
Me: Why can't I hold the baby?
Them: We're "patching you up." You can't hold him until we're done in case you flinch.
Once they were done, David handed Miles over to me. I very quickly went from 😳 to 😍.
I had a minor case of preeclampsia, which landed me in a room with an IV of magnesium and meant I had to stay at the hospital a little longer than I would have liked. It was annoying, but I definitely took advantage of that nursing staff and slept… a lot.
We were able to get home just in time to ring in the new year. What a perfect way to kick off 2012, huh?
Do you have a good birth story? I'd love to hear it if you do!
