Do you often worry about hair loss? We are delighted to welcome Spencer Stevenson, whose popular website Spex Hair offers scientifically-based advice to men who are looking to maintain a healthy head of hair.
Spencer or "Spex" as he is commonly known, has over the last 10 years, supported thousands of hair loss sufferers with their individual concerns and anxieties whilst advising them on what can effectively help beat the curse of hair loss and how to best restore lost hair via hair restoration correctly.
There are such a high number of products out there being sold and marketed to men for their hair health, and believe me I've tried them all - some work, some don't.
So when I was asked by Vitabiotics to become their men's hair expert, I couldn't say no. It's a privilege to have been asked to use my knowledge and experiences as their men's hair expert to help you separate fact from fiction.
It's an all-too-common story that plays out every day around the world. Guy looks in mirror, goes to comb his hair and is distressed to find there's not as much up top as there used to be. With not a moment to waste, he consults Doctor Google, and thus begins his quest for answers. "Where do I start?" "Am I going to have to wear a rug?" "How soon will I be bald?" "What can I buy today that will stop this from getting worse?" All that desperation is the tip of the iceberg.
Average Joe was cruising along, enjoying life … until that day. If only there was such a thing as a Furry Godfather; someone with a magic wand, or at least with some real and true answers. If only he could cast a spell and turn clothes dryer lint into luxurious strands of hair and implant them painlessly and perfectly into Average Joe's scalp. Hate to break it to you, bro but there's no magic spell out there.
The next best thing to a Furry Godfather is someone who's been there, done that and bought the hairpiece. How do you do? I am Spencer 'Spex' Stevenson and I've tipped some serious cash down the toilet in the very same quest that you've probably embarked on. I've explored 'miracle cures', chased expensive rainbows and endured some pretty miserable – and in hindsight, woefully inadequate – attempts to grow back, get over or conceal what's left of my hair.
Today, however, I am the proud owner of a healthy head of hair and I look my actual age. Now I stand as a true expert in male hair loss, how it feels, how it affects a man's life and relationships, what to do about it and who and what to trust or not trust.
Now when I call myself an 'expert', I'm coming from the angle of experience. In my early twenties, I could barely stand to look in a mirror due to my rapidly receding hairline. It was physically and emotionally devastating it chipped away at my self-confidence.
I'd always considered myself a fairly decent looking guy, but as my hair fell out and my forehead became more and more naked, I became increasingly desperate to stop it from happening. Did you know that the hidden epidemic of hair loss is known among sufferers as 'cancer of the spirit'? You'll consider things you wouldn't inflict on your worst enemy, like applying cow urine to your scalp (I kid you not)!
In fact, there's not a lot I haven't tried or done in my journey to reclaim my right to a healthy head of hair. I've worn wigs, done battle with depression and anxiety, explored countless 'natural' and 'alternative' therapies and endured ten hair transplant surgeries. (Yes, ten!!) Over the last decade, I've seen the good, the bad and the truly ugly.
I 've researched, asked, discussed and studied. I've subjected myself to painful, draining and useless so-called 'cures' and suffered more than my fair share of indignities. Of the ton of money I've thrown at resolving my hair loss issue, I can honestly say that only about ten percent of what I've spent has really been worth the investment.
Happily, I've come out the other side with a handsome hairline and a decent volume of strands that anyone is welcome to run their fingers through.
Today, in my forties, it's virtually impossible to tell that I've been a victim of male pattern baldness since my tender early twenties. When you're barely out of your teens and a girl your own age won't go out with you because she thinks you're too old for her, you panic.
When you stop joining your friends at the pub for a cheeky spur-of-the-moment beer, when you avoid putting yourself forward for a promotion at work and when you start losing all faith in your value as a man, you'll do anything. I did.
Today, I'm a happy, well-adjusted, successful man, a husband, and father with a rewarding career and an age-appropriate head of hair that makes me look pretty acceptable indeed! I also have a global following of men who look to me for answers, or at the very least, understanding, without judgment.
I'm considered a 'hair loss guru' to celebrities who are facing their own hair loss nightmares. They, like Average Joe on the street, need genuine solutions. They too count on me for reassurance and relatability. I've been called a 'Hair Loss Hero', a 'Hair Loss Mentor' and many other things. I'll even take 'Fairy Godfather' if the fairytale concept helps someone.
M y advice is genuine and fact-based and my followers from across the globe appreciate my down-to-earth and hard-won wisdom. I can tell you about appropriate treatments while also protecting you from the plethora of bogus products and therapies that serve only to drain your pocket along with the remnants of your self-esteem.
Don't believe the stories – men will go to great lengths to get their hair back!
Women don't own vanity; it's a human affliction. While they get busy with their fake eyelashes, fake tans and fake nails in their quest to feel prettier, accepted or whatever goal they have in mind, most men experiencing hair loss also feel compelled to 're-normalise' our appearance.
Society would have us believe that male hair loss is no big deal but it can permeate every aspect of life from relationships and careers to questioning our own worth. Many turn to whatever numbing agent will work, be it an addiction, withdrawal from our social lives or working like a madman seven days a week.
It truly matters to me to be something of a guiding light for the millions of men facing hair loss. In fact, the opportunity to impart genuine wisdom is golden to me. Basically, I'm just a man, just like you, who knows how you feel and has tons of insight that can steer you in the right direction.
Let's hear about your experiences. I can't turn a pumpkin into a glass carriage but I can certainly promise that there will be a glass slipper of sorts – a solution – that will fit you. You will see me featured and quoted in various newspapers and you can find me writing regular columns for The Telegraph and The Huffington Post. I also co-host a radio show in the UK called The Bald Truth.

Working Together for a Progressive Massachusetts
Bill Humphrey
Mass Alliance is excited to endorse Bill Humphrey, who is running for Newton's Ward 5 City Council seat, for its rising star program. Bill is a progressive Democrat and 5th generation Newton native who has dedicated his life to advancing the causes of environmentalism, marriage equality, and racial justice.
Bill's political career began in college, where he worked for the local Democratic chapter and volunteered on various Democratic campaigns. After graduating, he served as the Statewide Director and co-founder of Delaware Right to Marry Political Action Committee to advance marriage equality. Since then, he has kept himself involved in politics: hosting a progressive radio show in Newton, working as a researcher at a small global consulting firm focused on local economic development, and as Political Committee Chair for the Massachusetts Sierra Club.
Now, Bill wants to bring that same energy to his local government. He comes from a long family of public service: his mother is a union nurse and his father is a public transit planner. Like his family, Bill believes passionately in the power of good government and public works to make society more socially just and equitable. He has spent years advocating for progressive causes at the grassroots level, and now it's time for his vision and passion to be included on the Newton City Council.

Actually, I could have easily entitled this post: socialist market design. When I was in school a teacher who was of the very left persuasion (his surname was actually Green) explained socialism to me. He argued that you wouldn't own a bike. You'd just pick one up, use it and leave it. That struck me as possible but what would happen if everyone wanted to go the same way and didn't want to come back? He had no answer for that.
I thought of that conversation today when I read about SoBi. This is a company that intends to have a pool of bikes that anyone who is a member of the collective can use. They will use iPhones and GPS to tell you where bikes are but they can be picked up and left anywhere. It is like a Zipcar except that you don't have to return the bike to where you started. In other words, surely it will suffer from the problem I identified with socialism.
Well apparently not. The SoBi people have thought about it and have decided that the answer to the socialism coordination problem is to design a market. They will monitor and learn about travel patterns and inventory. This will then be complemented by an obligation on the last user of a bike at the end of the day to return it to some designated hub. If they don't do this they pay $2. But the best part is that all this information will be available in the evening and so for bikes that are out of place there will be a $2 bounty to get them back to where they belong. It is hard to know if that price is right or not but at least they are thinking about these things and how to essentially create a market. This is a practice at some supermarkets with trolleys. The nice thing is that it taxes the selfish and rewards the selfless; if you want to put it in those terms.
This sounds interesting. But why charge the last user? How will a user know if they are last? Why not just absorb the cost of collection, or spread it across all users.

Research In Motion announced today that ICE will run a pilot program for the new BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10 mobile enterprise management solution and BlackBerry 10 smartphones beginning early next year.
Shortly after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) dropped agency support for the BlackBerry in favor of the iPhone, RIM announced today that ICE has agreed to test its new BlackBerry 10 operating system.
RIM said ICE will run a pilot program for the new BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10 mobile enterprise management solution and BlackBerry 10 smartphones beginning early next year.
ICE will be one of the first government agencies to use the new BB 10 solution, according to RIM senior vice president Scott Totzke.
"Along with providing workers with secure access to behind-the-firewall confidential information, BlackBerry 10 can help organizations fully leverage the potential of mobile technology to offer new services, improve service delivery and increase organizational productivity," Totzke said. "We look forward to sharing more features of the BlackBerry 10 platform at our global launch event on January 30."
can no longer meet the mobile technology needs of the agency," ICE said in an Oct. 17 memo, adding that Apple's iOS is a "more capable and dynamic mobile technology."
An ICE spokeswoman said today that the agency has had a "long and good" relationship with RIM.
"We are not backing away from iOS, nor RIM," she said. "Given the nature of a rapidly evolving marketplace for mobile computing and the rising expectations of our users for that technology, we see the need to maintain a set of services that [...] support ICE's mission. The pilot with RIM is a prudent technology management practice."
In recent months, BlackBerry 10 received FIPS 140-2 certification, allowing government agencies to deploy BlackBerry devices once the operating system is released. It marked the first time the company's OS was certified before its launch, which is expected on Jan. 30.
There is no final decision whether ICE will officially embrace BlackBerry 10; the agency is simply testing the phone system for now. No details about the pilot program have been released, including how many employees will participate.
This week, the public got a glimpse of RIM's BlackBerry 10 L-Series smartphone, in a series of leaked photos that hit the Web in Vietnam Wednesday. The touch-screen phone is reportedly one of the devices the company will unveil at the end of next month.

Harriet Beecher Stowe and Harriet Jacobs: Discussing the moments our heroes fell short
Posted by Caitlin Tracey-...
Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811-1896) was a remarkable woman. She used words, characters, and powerful storytelling to bring the horrors of slavery into the homes of many Americans in the years preceding the American Civil War. Her most famous work, Uncle Tom's Cabin, first produced in serial form for the National Era in 1851, and then as a best selling book, sold hundreds of thousands of copies. It was popular in America, but also around the world, and Stowe became a celebrity in Europe as well as the United States.
Stowe was a prolific writer. Her work included newspaper articles, poems, hymns, and novels. She was often engaged through letters with Abolitionists, writers, and thinkers of her age. She gave birth to seven children and was a hard-working mother and homemaker. She lost a child, Samuel Charles, in Cincinnati's 1849 cholera epidemic. His death brought her tremendous suffering and increased her empathy for the plight of enslaved mothers in the South.
When talking about impressive historical figures, such as Harriet Beecher Stowe, it can become easy to think only of their great accomplishments and the ways in which they transcended the times in which they lived. It is easy to forget that these figures were imperfect people, and that they undeniably had their own shortcomings, prejudices, and internal struggles.
A place to talk about these human qualities can be found in the relationship between Harriet Beecher Stowe and the author of the now well-known slave narrative Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, Harriet Jacobs. Jacobs was an incredible person with an incredible story. She suffered under slavery, lived for seven years in a small crawl space, and finally secured her freedom. She went on to write her story, but when she was in the process of developing her narrative in 1853, she wrote to Harriet Beecher Stowe for literary advice.
Looking at it today, Stowe did not handle the request well. She passed along the very personal content of Jacob's story to a friend in a letter, asking if the story could be true. She then asked Jacobs if she could use her story for her own work, A Key to Uncle Tom's Cabin. The Key was a selection of real life examples justifying the fictional horrors portrayed in her novel. Jacobs explained that while Stowe could use some facts, she wanted to write a complete narrative herself. Harriet failed to answer any future letters from Jacobs.
Stowe's presumption and rudeness may be disappointing, but it is also a an opportunity to examine the question of which voices are heard and which are silenced. Why did Stowe make the choices she made when working with Jacobs ? How might similar mistakes continue to be made in the fight to end human rights abuses today?
Perhaps this incident should be seen not as an opportunity to bash Stowe, but as a way to look at Stowe within the power dynamics of her time. How might we all be better teachers of human rights? Are we willing to include a multiplicity of voices, and listen to voices on their own terms, not just on our own?

Companies worth $2tn are calling for a green recovery
Akshat Rathi and Thomas Seal

Last modified: 20 May, 2020, 02:02 pm
"This is the optimal opportunity to do something about what we have been doing wrong for so long."
The choices governments make on how to spend their rescue packages will affect the environment for decades to come. PHOTO: COLLECTED
A group of companies worth a combined $2.4 trillion have added their voice to a growing chorus calling for the economic recovery from the coronavirus to be green.
Adobe Inc, Unilever NV and more than 150 other companies have signed a statement asking officials to ensure their response to the pandemic is "grounded in bold climate action" and to prioritize moving to "a green economy by aligning policies and recovery plans with the latest climate science."
Governments around the world are preparing rescue packages worth trillions of dollars, and the choices they make on how to spend this will have an impact on the environment for decades to come. Demands for a green recovery have already come from institutional investors, global financial institutions, and officials in finance ministries and central banks.
"Climate change will continue, regardless of Covid," said Annica Bresky, president and chief executive officer of Stora Enso Oyj, a Finnish paper and packaging company that signed the statement. "We should use this opportunity that we have been given when restarting and recovering the economy to have the strategies in place that align with climate goals."
The announcement Tuesday from global businesses was arranged by Science Based Targets initiative, a body set up by the United Nations and other global environmental organizations to help companies align with the climate goals set under the Paris Agreement on climate change. SBTi works with more than 800 businesses that have pledged to create, or have already put in place, plans to drastically cut emissions within the next few decades.
If governments align recovery policies with climate science, these companies will need to spend less to reach their climate goals, said Paul Simpson, chief executive officer of CDP, a charity that runs the global environmental disclosure system.
Cutting emissions to zero would require a firm to, say, convert its fleet of vehicles from combustion engines to electric ones. Public money spent on building a charging infrastructure and providing subsidies for such vehicles means the conversion won't be as costly.
"You can say it will be cheaper for companies, but what it actually means is that companies will go faster" if spending aligns with climate goals, said Simpson, who is also a board member of SBTi. "These companies are committed to [cutting emissions] and what they need is an economic system that enables them to do it."
Similarly, this is a chance for governments to move away from subsidies for fossil fuels and support clean energy, said Kim Hellstrom, climate strategy lead at Hennes & Mauritz AB. The fast fashion retailer signed the statement, and among its environmental pledges is a goal to use 100% renewable energy by 2030.
"This is the optimal opportunity to do something about what we have been doing wrong for so long," he said.
About two-thirds of the companies that signed the statement have their headquarters in Europe. It's a reflection of the fact that the continent has the strictest environmental regulations, said Simpson. The European Union is working to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, and companies will need to align with the regulations that governments set.
Ultimately, even as the world is coping with a downturn whose damage might dwarf that wrought by the Great Recession about a decade ago, it is in these companies' self-interest to operate in a world that's stable and growing rather than battered by climate impacts and struggling. It's a sentiment echoed by Carine de Boissezon, sustainable development director at French energy company EDF SA.
"What is critical is how we will recover from the crisis," she said. "What we learned from 2008 is that the choices that are being made now will shape the future.''

The world we live in presents us with images of people who look fabulous. These people are always dressed in svelte clothes. While these people seem to be unaffiliated by fluctuating weight losses and gain we of the real world have no choice but to live with these horrors of not having a perfect looking figure. To help us out there are different methods to losing weight that we can try. A fast weight loss diet is one that focuses your attention on the foods that we eat.
In a fast weight loss diet you will need to control the amount of foods that you at and what sort of foods. There are numerous diets that are supposed to provide you with the slim looking figure that you are hoping to achieve.
These fast weight loss diets that you will find being mentioned will include the Zone, South Beach diet, Weight Watchers and others. In each of these diet programs you will be provided with a list of foods that you can eat in order to lose weight. These foods – which are on the list – may or may not promote a fast weight loss diet, but you will lose some weight.
Now having found a suitable fast weight loss diet you should talk with your doctor to see what the impact will be to your health. You should also consider adding some exercise routines to your fast weight loss diet. These two regimes coupled sensibly will allow you to lose the weight that you require.
When you start this fast weight loss diet you should understand that the initial weight loss will be rapid in contrast to the rest of your weight loss. Having looked at the different diets that you can try out, you should understand that you will have better results if you adhere to one sort of dietary plan.
In a fast weight loss diet the way that you cook the food as well as the way that you eat the food will help with your losing weight. In some of these diets you will be allowed certain alternate substitutions. These alternate choices can be made depending on your dietary preferences.
There is one item that you should understand with a fast weight loss diet. Since the diet was designed to work for a certain period of time, you will need to find other ways to augment the weight loss that was started. One of the great things that you will discover with a fast weight loss diet is that you can eat well – in a controlled manner- and loss unsightly weight. This is one of the best aspects to a fast weight loss diet.

Когда он нес эти деньги, люди сказали ему: «Ты хочешь запутать такого великого святого в мирских сетях?» Юноша пошел к реке и побросал в нее одну за другой все монеты.

The Jewish Girl
Among the other children in the charity school was a little Jewish girl, clever and good-in fact, the brightest of them all. But there was one class she could not attend, the one where religion was taught, for she was in a Christian school.
During the hour of this class, she had her geography book before her to study, or did her arithmetic, but the lessons were quickly learned, and then, though the book might still be open before her, she did not read from it; she listened. And the teacher soon noticed that she listened more intently than any of the rest.
"Study your book," said the teacher, gently yet earnestly. But she looked back at him with her black, eager eyes, and when he put his questions to her as well as the rest he found she knew more than all the others. She had listened, understood, and kept his words.
Her father was a poor but honest man, and when he first brought her to the school he had given instructions that she should not be taught the Christian faith. But to send her from the room during the Scripture lesson might have given offense and raised various thoughts in the minds of the other children in the class, and so she remained. But this could not go on any longer.
So the teacher went to her father and explained that he must either take his daughter away from the school or consent to her becoming a Christian.
"I cannot bear to see those burning eyes, that sincere yearning thirst of the soul, so to speak, after the words of the Gospel," he said.
Then her father burst into tears. "I know very little myself of our own faith," he replied, "but her mother was a daughter of Israel, strong and steadfast in her faith, and on her deathbed I promised her that our child should never receive Christian baptism. That promise I must keep, for to me it is like a pact with God."
So the little Jewish girl was taken away from the Christian school.
Years had passed.
In a humble household, in one of the smallest provincial towns of Jutland there was a maidservant, a poor girl of the Jewish faith; this was Sarah. Her hair was as black as ebony, and her eyes were dark yet full of brilliant light, such eyes as you see among the daughters of the East. And the expression in the face of the grown-up girl was still that of the child who sat on the schoolroom bench, listening with eager and wistful eyes.
Every Sunday the sound of the organ and the singing of the congregation sounded from the church, and the tones floated across the street and into the house where the Jewish girl attended diligently and faithfully to her work. "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy," was her law; but her Sabbath was a day of labor to Christians, and only in her heart could she keep it holy. And that she believed was not enough.
But then the thought came to her soul, "What do days and hours matter in the sight of God?" and on the Sunday of the Christians she had her own undisturbed hour of devotion. Then if the sound of the organ and the singing came across to her as she stood behind the sink in the kitchen, even this became a quiet and consecrated spot. Then she would read the treasure and property of her own people, the Old Testament, and that alone; for she kept deep in her heart what her father had told the teacher and herself when she was taken from the school-the promise he had made to her dying mother, "that Sarah should not be baptized, nor forsake the faith of her fathers." The New Testament was, and would forever remain, a sealed book to her; and yet she knew much of it, for it shone through the memories of her childhood.
One evening she was sitting in a corner of the living room while her master read aloud. She allowed herself to listen, for this was not the Gospel; no, he was reading from an old storybook, so she could remain. The master read to them of a Hungarian knight who was taken captive by a Turkish pasha and yoked with oxen to the plow. He was driven with lashes of the whip and suffered pain and thirst almost beyond endurance.
But at home his wife sold her jewels and mortgaged their castle and lands, while friends contributed large sums to help raise the almost unbelievable amount of money that was demanded as ransom. This finally was collected, and he was delivered from slavery and disgrace. Sick and suffering, he returned home.
But soon there resounded over the countryside the summons to a crusade against the foe of Christianity. The sick man heard the call and could have neither peace nor rest any longer; they had to lift him on his war horse. Then the blood rushed again to his cheeks, his strength seemed to return, and he rode forth to victory. The very pasha who had made him suffer pain and humiliation yoked to the plow became his captive. He was taken home to the castle dungeon, but before he had been there an hour the knight came to him and asked his prisoner, "What do you think now awaits you?"
"I know," replied the Turk. "Retribution."
"Yes, the retribution of a Christian," said the knight. "The teachings of Christ tell us to forgive our enemies and love our fellow men. God is love! Go in peace to your home and loved ones, and be gentle and good to all who suffer."
Then the prisoner burst into tears. "How could I have believed such a thing possible?" he cried. "I was certain I would have to suffer shame and torture, hence I took poison, and within a few hours I shall die. There is no remedy. But before I die, teach me the faith which is so full of such love and mercy; it is great and divine! In that faith let me die; let me die a Christian!" And his request was granted him.
That was the legend, the story that was read to them. All listened to it with close attention, but it sank deepest into the heart of her who sat in the corner, the servantmaid, Sarah, the Jewess. Large tears stood in her sparkling coal-black eyes while she sat there, as years ago on the school bench, and felt the greatness of the Gospel. The tears rolled down her cheeks.
"Let not my child become a Christian!" Her mother's dying words rang through her soul with those of the law, "Honor thy father and thy mother!"
"Still I have not been baptized! They call me 'the Jewess'; the boys of the neighborhood mocked me last Sunday as I stood outside the church door and looked in at the burning altar lights and the singing congregation. Ever since my school days, up to this very hour, the power of Christianity, which is like a sunbeam, and which, no matter how much I close my eyes, penetrates into my heart. But, my mother, I will not bring you sorrow in your grave! I will not betray the promise my father made to you; I will not read the Christian's Bible! Have I not the God of my fathers? On Him let me rest my head!"
And the years rolled by.
The husband died, and the wife was left in difficult circumstances. The servant girl had to be dismissed, but Sarah would not leave the widow. She became her help in time of trouble and kept the little household together; she worked late every night, and by the labor of her own hands got bread for the house. There were no close relatives to help a family where the widow grew weaker each day, lingering for months on a sickbed. Gentle and good Sarah watched and nursed and labored and was the blessing of the poverty-stricken home.
"There is the Bible," said the sick woman one evening. "Read a little to me; the evening is so long, and I sadly need to hear the word of God."
Sarah bowed her head, picked up the Bible and folded her hands around it, opened it, and read aloud to the sick woman. Often the tears came into her eyes, but they shone more clearly, and the darkness lifted from her soul. "Mother, your child shall not receive the baptism of the Christians, shall not be named in their communion. You have wished it, and I shall honor your wish. In this we are united here on earth, but above this is-is a greater union in God. He leads and guides us beyond Death. 'I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground.' Oh, I understand now! I do not know myself how I came to it! Through Him it was-in Him-Christ!"
And she trembled as she spoke the holy name; a baptism of fire streamed through her, stronger than her feeble frame could bear, and she sank down, more exhausted even than the sick woman whom she nursed.
"Poor Sarah!" people said. "She is worn out with labor and nursing!"
They took her to the charity hospital, and there she died, and thence she was carried to her grave. It was not to the graveyard of the Christians-that was not the place for a Jewish girl; no, outside by the wall they dug a grave for her.
But God's sun, which shines upon the graves of the Christians, shines as well upon that of the Jewish girl; and the hymns which are sung beside the Christian graves sound also beside her grave outside the wall. And out there, too, reaches the promise: "There is resurrection in Christ, in Him, the Saviour, who said to His Disciples, 'John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost!' "

Over 10,000 years old, Princess Kitana remembers little of her early years. Her mother, Queen Sindel, died mysteriously ages ago in Earthrealm. Most of her life she has loyally served her father, Shao Kahn, in his unending quest to conquer the realms. With her closest friend, Jade, Kitana enforces his brutal will. But there is a feeling tugging at her... a feeling that the life she has known is a deception. For the moment, Kitana dutifully works to ensure Outworld's victory in this latest Mortal Kombat tournament. If she were to lower her guard, however, she might discover that her Earthrealm opponents can lead her to answers.

Women Who Get Covid-19 Towards End Of Pregnancy At Increased Risk Of Complications, Study Finds
The majority of complications occurred in unvaccinated women, according to the study.
By Sakaynah Hunter
Article updated on 17/1/22: Covid-19 has been linked to birth-related complications, according to a new study.
The Covid in Pregnancy Study (Cops), conducted by researchers in Scotland, found that women who contract Covid-19 towards the end of their pregnancy are more vulnerable to birth-related complications than women who catch the virus early in pregnancy or not at all.
The study, published by Nature Medicine, involved researchers analysing data relating to pregnant women in Scotland, of which more than 87,000 were pregnant between the start of the vaccine rollout in December 2020 and October 2021. Less than a third of women (32%) who gave birth in October 2021 were fully vaccinated, compared with over three quarters (77%) of the general female population between the ages of 18 to 44 who were vaccinated.
Of the total 4,950 cases of Covid-19 which were confirmed during pregnancy since the start of the vaccination programme, 77% were found to involve unvaccinated women, 12% were partially vaccinated and 11% were fully vaccinated.
Researchers found that preterm births, stillbirths and newborn deaths were more likely among women who had the virus 28 days, or less, before their due date. The data also showed that almost a fifth (17%) of babies born within 28 days of their mother developing Covid were delivered prematurely (more than three weeks before their due date), compared to a preterm birth rate of less than a tenth (8%).

In order to protect pregnant women and their babies from life-threatening complications, researchers have called for measures to increase the vaccination uptake among pregnant women.
Prof Nicola Steedman, the Scottish government's deputy chief medical officer, said: 'This is an incredibly important piece of research, what it goes to show is Covid is that dangerous for pregnant women both for themselves and for their babies.
'There is really strong evidence now that Covid has much greater risks for pregnant women if they get it later in pregnancy and that vaccination is protective, so my message would be please if you have hesitated before and you are pregnant, please please get the vaccination for your own protection and for the protection of your baby.'
Edward Morris, Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists president, noted that while the study analysed birth outcome in Scotland, 'it reflects what we are seeing nationally'.
'We want to reassure women that the vaccine and booster are safe in pregnancy and it is the best way of protecting you and your baby from covid-19,' he concluded, per the BMJ.
The NHS states that pregnant women and those who are breastfeeding are 'strongly recommended' to get vaccinated against Covid-19. It also outlines that the vaccine cannot give the mother or child Covid and there is no evidence that the vaccines have any effect on fertility.

Article originally published 26/11/22: Pregnant women have been urged to get the Covid-19 vaccine after new evidence analysed by health officials found it to be safe.
The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has analysed more than 350,000 deliveries in England during the pandemic until August of this year.
The data has found that pregnant women who have had the vaccine are no more likely than those who are unvaccinated to suffer stillbirth, premature birth or have babies who weigh less than usual.
According to the Guardian, Dr June Raine, the chief executive of the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency, said: 'We want to reassure all pregnant women that the Covid-19 vaccines are safe and effective for them to use at all stages of pregnancy.
'Our rigorous safety monitoring of these vaccines in pregnancy shows that the vaccines are safe and that there is no increased risk of pregnancy complications, miscarriage or stillbirth.'

Health officials hope that new research will encourage those who aren't yet vaccinated to get jabbed.
'Every pregnant woman who has not yet been vaccinated should feel confident to go and get the jab,' Dr Mary Ramsay, who heads up the immunisation department at UKHSA, told the publication.
As for pregnant women who have already been vaccinated, heath leaders believe the new data should be 'reassuring'.
It also revealed that of the 355,299 women who gave birth between January and August 2021, 24,759 had received at least one dose of the Covid-19 vaccine.

In the months leading up to the new data there had been confusion about how safe and effective the vaccine is for pregnant women.
Last month the Guardian reported that some pregnant women claimed via messages on the Vaccines and Pregnancy helpline that their midwives had warned them not to get the vaccine due to the impact on ovulation and menstruation, and complained about the misinformation around pregnancy and the vaccine.
Dr Jo Mountfield, consultant obstetrician and a vice-president of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, said the reports were 'concerning'.
'The vaccine is safe in pregnancy, and is the best way to protect both mother and baby from becoming seriously ill from Covid-19,' she said last month, according to the Guardian.
At present a staggering 98% of the pregnant women currently in hospital with symptomatic Covid-19 haven't been vaccinated.
Since July, out of all the critically ill patients in hospital one in five have been unvaccinated pregnant women, with only 22% of women who gave birth in August having been vaccinated.
Dr Nikki Kanani, a GP and deputy lead for the NHS Covid-19 vaccination programme, recently told the publication: 'We will continue to advise midwives and clinicians to give expectant mums the information and support they need to make the right decision for them and their babies.'
Pregnant women were among the first to be offered the jab in December 2020.

Q: Import grammar rules from string-based grammar I'm using pocketsphinx in Android. And I've been able to import rules in one .gram file to another .gram file, and I've been able to use rules by specifying a String, but can't seem to be able to combine the two. That is, I can't import a file-based grammar from a string-based grammar; I keep getting Failed to find grammar errors.
When specifying the grammar as a string with:
private SpeechRecognizer mPsRecognizer;

//...

final StringGrammar sg = settings.getStringGrammar();
mPsRecognizer.getDecoder().setJsgfString(sg.getName(), sg.getString());

Where the string is something like:
name: "initial_grammar",

string: "#JSGF V1.0;\n"
    + "\n"
    + "grammar initial_grammar;\n"
    + "\n"
    + "import <digits.digits>;\n"
    + "import <actions.r_actions>;\n"
    + "import <help.r_help>;\n"
    + "\n"
    + "public <initial_grammar>\n"
    + "    = <r_actions>\n"
    + "    | <r_help>\n"
    + "    ;");

I get
com.sample.vr.commands E/cmusphinx: ERROR: "jsgf.c", line 775: Failed to find grammar digits.gram
com.sample.vr.commands E/cmusphinx: ERROR: "jsgf.c", line 775: Failed to find grammar actions.gram
com.sample.vr.commands E/cmusphinx: ERROR: "jsgf.c", line 775: Failed to find grammar help.gram
com.sample.vr.commands I/cmusphinx: INFO: jsgf.c(691): Defined rule: PUBLIC <initial_step.initial_grammar>
com.sample.vr.commands E/cmusphinx: ERROR: "jsgf.c", line 338: Undefined rule in RHS: <initial_step.digits>

Which is somehow expected since there is no base file to search relative to.
What I've tried: 1) using the full package name and 2) using the full path (what I get from pocketsphinx's own Asset sync utility).
Using package names
If I change the import paths to
    //...
    + "import <com.sample.vr.commands/files/sync/actions.r_actions>;\n"
    + "import <com.sample.vr.commands/files/sync/help.r_help>;\n"
    //...

I get
com.sample.vr.commands E/cmusphinx: ERROR: "jsgf.c", line 775: Failed to find grammar com/sample/vr/commands/files/sync/help.gram
com.sample.vr.commands E/cmusphinx: ERROR: "jsgf.c", line 775: Failed to find grammar com/sample/vr/commands/files/sync/actions.gram

with full paths
#JSGF V1.0;

grammar initial_step;

import </storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.sample.vr.commands/files/sync/actions.r_actions>;
import </storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.sample.vr.commands/files/sync/help.r_help>;
public <initial_grammar>
    = <r_actions>
    | <r_help>
    ;

I get the following error (note the package part was converted to separate directories):
com.sample.vr.commands E/cmusphinx: ERROR: "jsgf.c", line 775: Failed to find grammar /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com/sample/vr/commands/files/sync/help.gram
com.sample.vr.commands E/cmusphinx: ERROR: "jsgf.c", line 775: Failed to find grammar /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com/sample/vr/commands/files/sync/actions.gram
com.sample.vr.commands I/cmusphinx: INFO: jsgf.c(691): Defined rule: PUBLIC <initial_step.initial_grammar>

in pocketsphinx's source I see that they are replacing dots for slashes:
/* Construct a filename. */
for (c = path; *c; ++c)
    if (*c == '.')
        *c = '/';
strcat(path, ".gram");
newpath = path_list_search(jsgf->searchpath, path);
if (newpath == NULL) {
    E_ERROR("Failed to find grammar %s\n", path);
    ckd_free(path);

What can I do to let pocketsphinx-android know where to find the files that I'm trying to import? I haven't found a function in SpeechRecognizer nor in Decoder.
I'm thinking that there's perhaps a way to specify in the configuration where to look for grammar files, but I can't seem to find it. Add some parameter to SpeechRecognizerSetup or Config?
Or is there a command line parameter in pocketsphinx that I can add as a string parameter to the Config/Setup object?

A: In JSGF syntax package name maps to a location as coded, that means that if you write
 import com.package.name;

the corresponding grammar must be in folder com/package relative to the main grammar folder. Same as java packages. So, the layout must be:
main.jsgf
com
  package
    name.jsgf

In case JSGF is loaded from string, a current path is searched for imports. Search path is also configured by JSGF_PATH environment variable. However, it is not easy to set either current working folder or environment variables in Android in Java. For that reason it is better to recompile pocketsphinx-android with hardcoded changes you need or load jsgf from file instead of a string.

The Rosen Law Firm, P.A., a global investor rights firm, announced that it has filed a class action lawsuit on behalf of investors who purchased American Depository Shares of Alibaba Group Holding Limited (NYSE:BABA) between October 21, 2014 and January 28, 2015.

The case is pending the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California.
According to the lawsuit, the Company and certain of its officers and directors made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) the Company executives met with China's State Administration of Industry and Commerce ("SAIC") just two months prior to the Company's initial public offering; and (ii) the SAIC had then informed Defendants that it was actively cracking down on a variety of highly suspicious and illegal business practices, which threatened the core of Alibaba's business. The suit claims that when the truth was revealed, it caused the price of the Company's shares to drop, damaging investors.
If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than March 31, 2015.

I did a re-installation and installed wicd again because this was the network manager I used before. I stopped all other other network services but don't get the wired connection into proper operation. Normally I have to start dhcpcd manually to get it work but if I suspend the computer the network connection will not be established after resume.
What could I check so you could help me out?
Well I have similar problems with wifi connections, too. All the time the connection is lost. If I click on "Connect" again it could take me 20times or more to get the connection back.
What possibilities do I have to get it stable? It would be nice to have GUI to manage the connections, either wired or wireless.

Athénée F. Blum is a neighbourhood school in Brüsel, located not far from the first demonstration tower built by Freddy De Vrouw 1).
Athénée is a somewhat obsolete French term in the Lighted World, and that used to describe an establishement where scientists and scholars gathered to give classes and lectures.
In Belgium, the word is still sometimes applied to schools for boys, and it so happens that François Schuiten did study in one bearing that very name in Brussels.
