Presenting 'Glory': A Photo Experience That I Surprised My Supporters With by Delivering to Their Doorstep
by Nick Pecori
Fstoppers Original
Video of Unboxing Glory: A Photo-Experience Delivered Across The Globe
It's time for something different. Ever have that great idea, but you may just let it fizzle away? Me too. But this one wasn't getting away.
Firstly, because I wasn't going to let that happen, but it also wouldn't escape me. With those two forces and a thirst for something new, turned into a project which would eventually become my greatest creative challenge so far in my career.
Growing up, I would collect newspapers. Some of my most cherished possessions growing up for me are the newspapers of special moments that I've kept along the way. Whether it'd be monumental moments in sports, mornings that I would be in the newspaper, or those days that changed the course of history. I would keep them in a time capsule that I call "the vault". There's something special about these newspapers. They're timeless.
Talking about this in a casual conversation with a client spawned this into a vision that wouldn't escape me.
It's called "Glory".
A newspaper experience that I created, produced and designed to deliver to the people. Those who support my work, have supported me along the way, and those who inspire. Rather than something to scroll past, I sought to create a page that my viewer can turn.
What Is Glory?
"Glory" is a personal photo project that was printed on newspaper. The piece was packaged in custom packaging and delivered to supporters much to their surprise.
Glory is a photo series that tells the story of one of the most recognized sports symbols in the world, Manchester United Football Club. Printed on newspaper, the series uses all three kits of the 2019 season in three different scenes to illustrate this. The concept was carefully designed to create a perfect storm of brands, fashion, and of course, sports.
A post shared by Nick Pecori (@nickpecori)
Three Colors. Across The Globe.
Every season, Manchester United, who is partnered with Adidas, release their three kit (jersey) designs with their own colors and own story. As a supporter of the club, it was the first time in a while that I really liked all three colors, designs, and the story behind the design. From there I decided to produce three separate photoshoots for each individual kit design; each telling their own message. But it didn't stop there, these colors needed to be shot in appropriate areas across the world.
The shooting and design process took place on-and-off from October 2018 to May 2019. The series features images shot in Manchester, Miami, Tampa, Fiji, and Tonga.
Manc.
Short for Mancunian. Shot in Manchester, England.
Let's start from the very beginning of this photoshoot and how it unfolded. This shoot was full of luck and tight timelines. Long story short, it wasn't until a month prior that I finally decided to go forward and booked the flight. With that time crunch, I had limited time to source sold-out fashion pieces, finding the perfect model, and actually producing the shoot.
Fast forward to shoot day, everything somehow worked out. We jumped off the train from London and shot with our model on Sir Matt Busby Way, just outside Old Trafford, one of the most historic grounds in European football. Full of cafes and vendors draped in black and red, the way was a perfect setting to photograph the club's home colors.
The weather was thankfully overcast (did I mention it was freezing?), which kept it authentic to a typical day in Manchester.
Sir Matt Busby Way, Manchester, England. The street that leads up to Old Trafford.
Along with the home colors of Manchester United, we paired the Kith Cobras from the Kith x Adidas Collaboration. The Kith Cobras, are a fictional team in the collection that features black, red, and white colors; that matched perfectly.
When Skies Aren't Grey
Shot in Miami, FL.
When Skies Aren't Grey is a play on words from a famous United chant "You Are My Solskjaer" where you can find the lyrics "you make me happy, when skies are grey". In Miami, the skies are anything but.
Representing the pink away kit for Manchester United, South Beach was a fitting choice to pair. The shoot consisted of a mixture of South Beach rooftops, sidewalks with modern backdrops, and the sandy beaches of Biscayne. Paired with the pink kit was the Kith Flamingos. Similar to the Kith Cobras, is a fictional team based in Flamingo Park, Miami.
This shoot was the exact opposite of Manchester, in the sense that we were constantly playing games with the hard light and soft light going in-and-out with the cloudy skies. Opposed to overcast skies, hard light is less forgiving and you need to be very careful how the model is shaped from that light source. Luckily with the model, Brandon, his hair sometimes would act as a shield from hard light on his face.
Shot in Fiji, Tonga, and the Gulf of Mexico. W was by far the most ambitious shoot of three and tells a special story. The third kit for Manchester United is navy blue, but what it's made out of is very unique.
Parley For The Oceans™ is a brand that encourages artists, scientists, authors, filmmakers, etc. to use their craft to raise awareness for marine pollution. Adidas and Manchester United teamed up with Parley to create the third kit. The shirt is made completely of recycled plastic. To tell this story, the shoot absolutely had to take place in the ocean.
The shoot took some time to plan, we finally arranged the perfect model willing to dip into cold, 55-degree water, a boat, and most importantly a vision of what we're looking to shoot. We planned to shoot a surfer in the ocean wearing nothing but a wet suit and the shirt.
Shot using 100% natural light. At first we were hoping for sunny skies, but after embracing the fog, I loved the a hint of an eerie feeling it gave the photograph.
Shooting in the morning, there was a thick fog, a very thick fog. We couldn't see 10 yards in front of us. At first, I was disappointed that we didn't have sun. But after embracing the fog, I fell in love with the eerie and minimal feeling it gave the photographs.
Adidas and Manchester United came together with Parley For The Oceans™ to create a jersey made completely of ocean recycled plastic materials.
We hit a minor problem at the beginning, the surfboard would sink easily. So with some quick thinking from our model, we tied life jackets underneath the board with fishing line to make it more buoyant. It worked like a charm and we were smooth sailing from there.
You're probably wondering when Fiji and Tonga come into the equation. A great friend of mine, Frank Iannazzo-Simmons, is a travel photographer that collaborated photographs from his recent Oceania trip. While diving with humpback whales, Simmons was able to capture these fantastic photographs to complemented our shoot perfectly.
Midway through his trip, Simmon's water housing malfunctioned and he was out of a professional camera. This shot happened to be taken on an iPhone.
Glory: A Photo Experience
You may be thinking to yourself, experience? It's just a newspaper print. It's much more than that. There are elements of surprise, packaging design, the piece itself, and bridging the gap between traditional and digital media.
The Surprise
Friends, family, and supporters received their packages much to their surprise, on May 27th, 2019. The first business day after the 20th anniversary of Manchester United's Treble season (May 26th, 2019). Arguably the best season in their history.
Before seeing the newspaper, they were greeted with special, custom packaging giving them quick context of what they're about to open. The top side stated: "Nick Pecori Presents". On the backside was recreated newspaper headlines of Manchester United highest and lowest points in the club's history.
Once opened, each package contains a personalized, handwritten note thanking them for their support among other things.
The newspaper was printed digitally on a 24-page tabloid layout. There were only 150 copies made.
The newspaper cover features a portrait shot during the Manc. series in Manchester. Once opened, you're greeted with blurbs on what the viewer is about to see and why it was produced. From there, you're walked through all three series.
On the last page, the viewer is shown a couple of QR codes that lead them to exclusive behind-the-scenes content on how the project was produced including blogs, videos, and photos that didn't make the cut.
Why I Created Glory
A year or two ago, I wrote a rather controversial article regarding vanity magazines in today's age. The emphasis was to create your own magazine, tell your own story, and tell it the way you want it to be told. Because the only person who truly understands it is you. That's what this newspaper is about. I discovered a void and was rather unsatisfied how people viewed my work. Instead of double-tapping and scrolling in mere seconds, I sought to create a piece that my viewer could hold, feel, and look at. It also wasn't about how many viewed my work, but who looks at it and who values it.
To See More Content
Spread across the web you'll be able to see different content on my channels. To see an even more in-depth look, take a look on the Glory webpage or follow along as more content is released.

Q: PYQT5 - Slot function does not take default argument I am working on an PYQT5 interface, with a QPushButton supposed to call a slot function, which has default arguments.
self.button = QtWidgets.QPushButton("Button")
self.button.clicked.connect(self.doSomething)

def doSomething(self, boolVariable = True):
  print(boolVariable)

Result when I run doSomething function:
[in] object_instance.doSomething()
--> True

but if I click on the button, I get this result:
--> False

Can someone explain me why the default argument isn't taken into account ?
Thank you !

A: The clicked signal of QPushButton, like any class that inherits from QAbstractButton, has a checked argument which represents the current checked ("pressed") state of the button.

This signal is emitted when the button is activated (i.e., pressed down then released while the mouse cursor is inside the button)

Push buttons emit the clicked signal when they are released; at that point, the button is not pressed and the signal argument will be False.
There are two possibilities to avoid that:

*

*connect the signal to a lambda:
self.button.clicked.connect(lambda: self.doSomething())

*add a pyqtSlot decorator to the function, with no signature as argument:
    @QtCore.pyqtSlot()
    def doSomething(self, boolVariable = True):
        print(boolVariable)

Newcastle Town have sealed a major shirt and stadium sponsorship deal for the 2018-19 EVO-STIK League season.
Thanks to a newly signed deal with local waste management company Red Industries, the EVO-STIK League West club's Lyme Valley Stadium has been officially rebranded as the The Red Industries Stadium.
Castle manager Robin van der Laan and his side will also see the company's logo adorning their home kit, reserve kit and club mini-bus after it was unveiled last week when they hosted Stoke City's U23s.
Castle - who run 28 teams in total and a thriving youth section training and playing at Roe Lane Playing Fields as well as their Lyme Valley Stadium - are delighted with the boost from a major local employer.
Newcastle Town's youth chairman and club director Gavin Appleby said: "It's fantastic news for the club to have Red Industries on board as the main sponsors. We're delighted that they are supporting the club and it's an exciting way for us to start the new season!

Bo Yang (; geboren als: Guo Libang (); * 7. März 1920 in Kaifeng, Henan, Republik China, heute: Volksrepublik China; † 29. April 2008 in Taipeh, Taiwan) war ein chinesischer Kulturkritiker und Autor.

Leben
Bo Yang wurde als Guo Libang in Kaifeng, Henan geboren. Manche Quellen geben die Stadt Huixian, Teil des heutigen Xinxiang, Henan, als Geburtsort von Bo Yang an. Später änderte er seinen Namen zu Guo Yidong (), vermutlich weil er sich mit seinem Vater und seiner Stiefmutter überworfen hatte. Im Jahr 1949 begab er sich nach Taiwan, wo er 1960 das Pseudonym Bo Yang zu verwenden begann, unter dem er kritische Essays verfasste.

Eines der insbesondere im ganzen chinesischen Sprachraum bekanntesten Werke Bo Yangs ist das Buch Der hässliche Chinese ( Chǒulòu de Zhōngguórén). Es behandelt das zentrale Thema seiner Kulturkritik: destruktive Formen des Konkurrenzkampfes der Chinesen untereinander.

Wegen seiner Kritik an Chiang Kai-shek (KMT) wurde er für neun Jahre auf der Grünen Insel ( "Lǜdǎo") inhaftiert. Der Auslöser dafür war seine Übersetzung eines Comic-Strips von Popeye, die er begonnen hatte. Darin befindet sich Popeye auf einem Boot auf See, mit dem Baby "Swee'pea" im Arm. Popeye zeigt auf eine ferne Insel und sagt: "Ich werde König dieser Insel sein und Du mein süßer kleiner Prinz."
Die Regierung von Taiwan sah darin eine Parodie auf Chiang Kai-sheks Entscheidung, seinen Sohn Chiang Ching-kuo (KMT) zum Nachfolger zu bestimmen. In der Haft verfasste Bo Yang eine Reihe von Arbeiten zur chinesischen Geschichte.

Bo Yang lebte in Taipeh und trug bis zu seinem Tod den Ehrentitel des nationalpolitischen Beraters des Präsidenten Chen Shui-bian (DPP). Am 20. April 2008 zeigte das taiwanische Fernsehen MAC-TV (), wie der gewählte Präsident Ma Yingjiu der KMT Bo Yang am Krankenbett besuchte und diesem versicherte, der Weg der Demokratie werde nach seinem Amtsantritt am 20. Mai 2008 fortgeführt. Neun Tage später, am 29. April 2008, starb Bo Yang an Lungenversagen. Bo Yang war seit 1978 mit der Lyrikerin Zhang Xiang-Hua () verheiratet und hatte drei Töchter und zwei Söhne aus vier früheren Ehen.

There's a reason why we subconsciously want to root for the underdog. They defy the odds stacked against them or overcome incredible obstacles that stand in their way. Their determination and grit is infectious. The adventure of Jane Polk and her $400 off-the-track Thoroughbred, Goose, is no different.
Jane, a weekend warrior amateur eventer from Greenville, S.C., and Goose, a grey gelding, have risen the ranks to Training level together with zero jump penalties. Repeat: Not a single rail. Call it a Cinderella story, but there was more patience, elbow grease and trust involved than luck.
It began five years ago, when Jane, 21 years old and fresh out of college, was searching for her dream horse. She had only two requirements: he had to be a bold jumper and he had to have a rock-bottom price tag. She knew this meant she'd have to overlook a few other things, like equine mental instability, personality quirks or physical issues. Maybe all three.
Goose did not make a good first impression. He was found through a well-connected friend in Kentucky while he was recovering from an injury sustained while out on trial at a jumper barn. Barefoot, high-headed and buddy sour, his owner wasn't up for riding him, and Jane wasn't about to risk her neck on a four-year-old horse she couldn't even assess under saddle first. But the gelding was healthy, had nice feet and a balanced, uphill carriage. Photos showed his scopey form over small fences with a happy and relaxed facial expression. The dangerous wheels started turning in Jane's head: This could work.
The owner's first priority was Goose's welfare. Another potential buyer offered $300 to put him out to pasture. But Jane couldn't let him go. "Ma'am, I am looking for a special horse to event and I think your gelding can be that horse," she explained, cautious and thoughtful. "If you sell him to me, I will keep you updated with pictures. And I can give you $400." And just like that, she was the proud owner of a horse she had never ridden, hadn't vetted, and, as a cherry on top, he would not load onto a trailer.
Jane's first move with Goose was just to relax and let him "settle and mature," she said. For a whole year, they simply hung out together, going on trail rides, swimming, and hacking around with a halter and lead rope. She named him after The Gray Goose, ridden by Kim Walnes, a member of the USEA Hall of Fame. It also happened to be short for "Silly Goose," which was terribly fitting to his personality.
With a heart-of-gold and staying true to his total trickster personality, Goose once expressed his displeasure at a sudden rise in the South Carolina temperature (from 30s to 60s overnight), by pulling off the liner from underneath his turnout rug, leaving it intact in the middle of the pasture with a steaming pile of manure perfectly placed on top of it. Another time, he was not quite so considerate, ripping a blanket into precisely 19 pieces.
Those who work a desk job in order to support their horse passion can appreciate Jane's dedication. Aside from working 40-hour weeks, Jane goes to the gym frequently (like, more than once a month), and manages a handful of side jobs to keep the "horse boat" financially afloat. Her husband, who is in school full-time, has taken over the housekeeping and errand running so that Jane could go full-in on pursuing her childhood dream of eventing and moving as far up the levels as possible.
She found a supportive network of people who would let her board Goose in exchange for facility management and coaching, and where she'd set about building jump courses from $4 plastic barrels and $10 wooden poles from the local hardware store.
Devastated, distraught, and discouraged, Jane started doubting everything. This is so expensive and time consuming. What if it's all for nothing? As if sensing the insult to his abilities, Goose took it upon himself to jump out of his paddock, and he made sure the one questioning his talent knew about it. The same trainer called Jane the next morning to tell her to start putting her horse on more supplements and grain in order to get him "ready to jump at Tryon (International Equestrian Center, in North Carolina)." They had a laugh, knowing full well the impossibly perfect timing of Goose's escape.
After that, he never jumped out of his paddock again. He had made his point, loud and clear.

: : Here is an interesting review of a book that touches on some of the issues that come up here from time to time. I'm thinking about the practice of adding the word 'like' to sentences in particular.
: : The book is called " 'Doing Our Own Thing: The Degradation of Language and Music and Why We Should, Like, Care' by John McWhorter.
: "A Lonely But Eloquent Voice," an October 2002 column by Marianne Means about U.S. Sen. Robert C. Byrd's "opposition to new legislative powers authorizing President Bush to wage war against Iraq if diplomacy fails to eliminate that nation's most fearful weapons."
: Sen. Byrd ".waved a copy of the Constitution as he thundered his outrage to a nearly empty chamber. It was a dazzling performance seldom seen these days in an institution dominated by men and women who speak an unstructured lingo whose origins owe more to a television show than to a high school English teacher.
: Byrd quoted the 12th Century Persian poet Omar Khayyam, German Gestapo field marshal Hermann Goering, the Apostle Paul, President James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, the ancient Greek orator Demosthenes and King Charles I of England."
Thanks for giving us that article! The conclusion "Physician, heal thyself" is very true (and hard to overlook): who can have respect for people who don't practise what they preach? I have trouble understanding a couple of phrases - they're even the so-called "howlers." "In today's America, it would be quizzical." Does he mean to say "critical" rather than "quizzical"? "She felt more linguistically corsetted than him." This seems to me to be a telling, if unorthodox, metaphor. Why is it such a blunder? Does it have to do with the fact that men don't wear corsets? (Except for Jack, who "is in his corset, and Jane is in her vest.") (Lou Reed's Sweet Jane.) I'm sure this is not the only metaphor not particularly consistent... Beats me.

Tingstad Tunnel, Gothenburg
The Tingstad Tunnel under the Göta älv river consists of two sections, each with three lanes, connecting Hisingen with mainland Gothenburg. The traffic is heavy, with up to 3,500 vehicles an hour in each direction.
Snelweg
Lokale weg
NYNAS BITUMEN NYNAS ENDURA Z3
SITE TYPE Tunnel
PRODUCT Nynas Endura Z3
APPLICATION Hot mix
Nynas Endura Z3 is a highly modified binder with excellent resistance to deformation that has been developed for asphalt surfaces that are subjected to particularly heavy loads.
The road through the tunnel is generally protected from wind and weather, however; problems with rutting due to plastic deformation caused by slow and heavy traffic can occur. A year ago it became evident that the depth of rutting in some sections was outside the Swedish Transport Administration's guidelines and that maintenance intervention was required. These works were carried out during the autumn of 2015.
Before the re-surfacing work started, various designs were tested for the asphalt mix to be placed. The tunnel has a low ceiling and therefore presented a logistical challenge for the contractor. This meant that the use of a standard raised tipping platform was not possible and the contractor had to use bottom emptying trucks which are of limited availability in Sweden.
In addition to a new surface course, it emerged that some sections needed structural reconstruction. After milling 40 mm of the surface course, it was therefore decided to mill a further 50 mm depth over a section of approx. 250 metres in length. This meant that there was also a requirement for a new binder course in those areas. In total, the new surfacing covered an area of around six thousand square metres.
To meet the client's strict demands, a combination of aggregate and binder was required that was both flexible and resisted deformation. The aggregate used was quartzite, which is hard and durable, and in view of the extreme loading a highly modified binder, Nynas Endura Z3, was chosen for both binder and surface course.
Both client and contractor are very satisfied with the end result. To be able to monitor changes in the surface in the long term with regard to rutting depth and longitudinal unevenness, annual road surface measurements will be performed.
In addition to a new surface course, some sections needed structural reconstruction. After milling 40 mm of the surface course, it was therefore decided to mill a further 50 mm down over a section of approx. 250 metres in length. This meant that a new binder course would be require for those areas. In total, the new surfacing covered an area of around six thousand square metres.
The Swedish Transport Administration's general execution requirements for the Tingstad Tunnel included:
• Mass transport operations using bottom-opening asphalt trucks.
• One asphalt plant in reserve.
• Compaction with static rollers.
• Spray pavers.
• Surfaces temperature logging equipment.
• A high-pressure cleaning sweeper.

'Your Sister's Sister' Announced for Blu-ray
Posted Fri Oct 19, 2012 at 08:00 AM PDT by Tom Landy
The acclaimed 2011 dramedy is planned for Blu-ray in November.
In an early announcement to retailers, IFC films has set 'Your Sister's Sister' for Blu-ray on November 6.
A year after his brother Tom's death, Jack (Mark Duplass 'Humpday'), an emotionally unstable slacker, is offered by Tom's ex-girlfriend Iris (Emily Blunt, 'The Adjustment Bureau,' 'Salmon Fishing in the Yemen') to take a vacation at her family cabin in the Pacific Northwest so he can seek catharsis in solitude. Once there, however, Jack runs into Iris' sister Hannah, a lesbian reeling from the abrupt end of a seven-year relationship and who finds solace in the affable Jack's unexpected presence. After a long night of drinking that ends with an awkward sexual incident, Jack's bumpy road to recovery is made worse by Iris' sudden presence at the cabin the next morning and the progression of ever-complicated relationships that is then set into motion. With raw, funny and emotional performances from an all-star cast, director Lynn Shelton ('My Effortless Brilliance') once again honestly explores the complexities of interpersonal relationships with remarkable humor, sensitivity and warmth.
Specs haven't been revealed yet, but supplements will include: Commentary with Writer/Director Lynn Shelton & Star Mark Duplass, Filmmaker & Crew Commentary, and Original Trailer.
You can find the latest specs for 'Your Sister's Sister' linked from our Blu-ray Release Schedule, where it is indexed under November 6.

I love NoScript, but I feel that I should point out that actually, security is the main point of NoScript, and blocking ads is the side effect, not the other way around.


This is how the first sentence of a long delayed letter sounds like. You get it? No. Good, Cos I don't get it either. Let me see now from where I can give it a start.
26 days away from being 23, the only thing that I am sure of about myself is that nothing heals me more than writing a letter. The text word has its own sense of medication. I now know how it feels to allow introspection to happen in narratives. I now know why people say that writing a diary is important when you are dysfunctional in some ways. They are never writing a diary, they are merely talking about the process of writing letters, letters to self. I am yet to find salvation in the process as alienated as that. I am weak, I like being heard and I choose you as a medium to have that release. I hope you don't find that barbarically boring. I can't stop now even if you do, sorry for that.
Let us start by pleasantries. How are you? Do you realize that it has been like a month since we last had a more than 2 minute long conversation? Odd it sounds but time do fly. I am fine. I am in the process of redefining the word "home" again. I am living alone, it's a small room but it is fun and it is peaceful. I can hear my thoughts more clearly here. I feel something within me moving towards peace. I might not be sure if it is saturation, process of giving up/growing up (yes they mean the same thing) or just another bookmark in the journey filled with confusions as the only constant but what I do know is, it is relaxing. 4 am on a foggy morning, 24th December 2012, when a world is burning in turbulence out there, I am closer to peace. I feel nice speaking that out. how are you? I miss you. I know you miss me too. Thanks for that smile that now has come on your face.
I will talk about people and places and I would leave most of the nomenclature on your guesses.
A, is a small room, it has beautiful curtains, the sound of a child in the background coming from a neighborhood that I am suppose to not necessarily care about. It is liberating, it has freedom, it has a confession arena where when you close the lights you can face your demons. It has no one that would judge your bare body or your feeble tears, it has no one that would make fun of you when you would dance to katy perry songs, it has no one that would give you a weird look when you get teary hearing Axl Rose sing or Manchester united score. A, is awesome. It involves money bleeding but it gives you a calm sleep.
B, is still missed. She is missed in every breath I take. I feel the need for her like somebody working in the field for a quarter of year in burning sun would feel the need to see the vegetables grow post rains. She is in me, around me. I love her, I understand love because of the virtue of the past that I have with her. The more I miss her, the more I am sure that I am never ever ever going back to her. B, is like the feeling of first smoke of the day, or the Ambi pure room fresher release that follows it which brings white lily smell everywhere. B is in every moment. Omnipresent, but at peace in a page already turned in the beautiful book called life. B is love. B would remain the love till there is soul enough in me to feel the warmth of life.
C was fun. I had a great time there. I miss that place. The place I am sure misses me too. I know that is metaphorical but what is life all about, if we stop the process imagination. I never wanted to leave it in the way I did, but I wanted to leave it since forever as u already know. I now understand why. I smile at the time spent there. I feel nice that I don't feel the need to ever go back again.
D is hot. She takes care of me even when I never allow her to do that. It is funny how in some other age, in some other time, my perception of the perfect city life would involve the need of someone exactly like D but now when I have it, I feel it can never have me. You know how I always used to talk about the objective idea of having a separate body and a separate soul. It unintentionally or intentionally is getting executed in me. I use words like "like" where I would have used "love" in my past self, and keep repeating "relationships are not beautiful, love is". What I really want to say in the paradoxical thesis of choices to her, is that I miss B and I miss her in the way that every small touch, every small whisper made to me somehow makes sense only when it comes from B. I am programmed to see her as an image of god for the rest of my life and I am helpless, helpless like a junkie chasing his drug of the idea of eternity with B and no one else. I contradict myself here because I am making no efforts to go back to B but I understand this equation in a way very clearly, it is like those beautiful things that you know but cannot explain and find peace in letting them be.
E is beautiful. She deserves blessings and nothing less. I cannot see her in pain, somebody as pure as that person deserves a universe of love and complete devotion. I make her smile. I am afraid while doing so; I never want her to get dependent on me for the smiles. I don't know how to stop that from happening. She is perfect. She is like my last link to delight of being with the purest form of human heart. I pray for her every day. May she gains strength, good health, balanced mind, and an independent set of things that can make her happy without ever getting the same exclusively from a single source like one hobby or human being. That has too much of risk involved. You know why.
F is boring, I hate the place but since I am only going in the nights I have developed a certain kind of liking to it too. It is not rewarding but it consumes time and energy and sometimes at some age in some phase of life, that consumption plays a critical role. It wears your body out and save yourself from wearing your own soul out instead. I am not satisfied there but rather than pre concluding my affair with the place at peace, I would choose the term truce. I smile there sometimes. I make people around me smile too. That is a reason in itself to exist and go. Rest, let's see.
Write back. I miss reading you. Ask questions about F and I would answer them.
Tell me a novel or a movie that you have just seen, let us get to talking. Talking of the sort that involves things, places and not people, talking of the best type that there is.
A tale of love, deception ... and Dreams that drive an innocent soul of a young beautiful girl into a self laid trap of lust and endless desires!!
They were separated, They were punished But Their love and passion sustained and survived!
WHY DID SHE LEFT HIM ALONE?
I WILL NOT PARDON YOU IF U WILL STEAL MY WORK!
thanks fishhawk !! for this... its special!
one of the sweetest awards ever!

This is completely speculative, but just writing it up since it's come up a couple of times.
This could also just be an attribute on projects, like "members of this project get a specific badge". The main value of this would just be making these users easily identifiable without having to go dig around -- in the case of administrators/employees this helps users avoid confusion, and in the case of contributors/gold it could be a bit of a way to show off.
I'm not sure how useful this would be overall, but we can collect other use cases if any arise and scrap it otherwise.
Resolved chad T7992 Design "Badges" or "Medals"
Could badges be used for policies? For example, Blessed Committers could be replaced with a badge potentially. This would (at least partially) solve T5602.
They could, yeah. We'd probably need a "List all users with badge X" UI to avoid losing functionality, but that seems pretty reasonable.
When I first read the title of this ticket, I thought that you were going to add gamification.
sectioneight added a subscriber: sectioneight.
I assume this would also supersede how disabled user accounts are currently displayed ("handle-disabled" CSS adding a black bullet in front of user name). Not mentioned in the task summary; just pointing out for completeness.
I assume this would also be the way to go to indicate new Phabricator users (e.g. dateCreated within last 60 days) to be treated even friendlier / with more patience? Mozilla's Bugzilla has such a visual indicator. See their background discussions why this could be useful in communities, but could also discriminate new users.
I wouldn't plan for this to supersede the grey "disabled" dot or the red "away" dot in the general case (those show up in a lot of contexts where badges won't) but it would be reasonable to consider showing a special automatic "Disabled" or "Away" badge in timelines, like the proposed "Admin" badge.
I suspect the "automatic badge" stuff will be modular enough that it will be easy to add simple badges ("Disabled", "Away", "New for X Days") locally, even if we don't ultimately pursue them in the upstream.
Badges would be granted by Project Membership or being an Admin. These would appear on your profile (I'm close to having PHUIBadge out for review). As part of editing your Profile, a user can choose to identify themselves with a Badge (if they have multiple badges, they can pick only one). In picking one Badge to identify with, we keep the feel of the product and it's use Authentic. So if I am an Administrator and part of Phacility High Command, I would choose one of these to be my primary identify around Phabricator. This should logically work well in most use cases. If you're a "Bug Team" member, "Design", or "Security", these associations would appear in Timeline and Hovercards adding to you're authenticity during the discussion. This would be a similar design direction to the "Author" tag we use on inline comment in Differential.
If we go this route, we should probably consider "Can be used as Badge" in Projects. Or at least, in this install, seeing someone with (Spaces) by their name might seem weird.
Show on Timeline: Inside buildTransactionTimeline(), load all the badges that each user has, then have the timeline render them next to their profile image.
This direction I think is my only concern, as it sounds like a lot of clutter without much real benefit. At least, I'd like to attempt a more dialed back approach for the first cut and see what's needed after that.
I don't want to do project/badge stuff yet, just an explicit "award this badge to this user" thing for now, but imagine maybe doing that in a future version.
I'd also like us to try to fit, like, 3-5 ish badges into timeline if possible? maybe? We definitely don't need 100 but it would be nice to be able to see more than one, I think. e.g., my first badge has to be either "Admin" or "Phacility", and then my budget is exhausted and I can't have anything fun/unique if it's limited to 1.
I'm fine slathering hovercards with tons of them, but am worried that more than 1 or 2 would make timeline cluttered. Though maybe you have a magical design for this I'm not able to envision.
...where the box is the profile picture, and (A), (*) and (~) are badges (white icon on colored circular field?) and we show details on hover. 5 might be hard to fit but seems like 3 is probably reasonable? They have to be pretty small but I don't think they need to be very big.
Oh, yeah. That huge treatment might be good for "Administrator", "Employee" or object relationships ("Task Owner", "Task Author"), but feels pretty big for the more achivement-like "Made 100 Commits", "Registered for 5 years", "Contributed", things.
We could let specific "Important" badges generate a text tag like that but I'd like to be able to, e.g., award everyone who reports a bug a badge for it without turning every timeline into "Reported a Bug" on each comment.
I'm fine trying both and seeing what shakes out in the long run (which may be both).
http://www.wowhead.com/guides/vanity-collections/the-entitled-a-guide-to-titles was a lot of my inspiration, haha.
It would be neat to gamify best coding practices instead of just arbitrary stuff on the site like "1000 comments" or whatever.
Now I just have to figure out how to merge my two phabricator.com accounts together so that I get credit for my 2 commits (: Too bad I seem to have lost the password for the other one, and no longer work at that company so can't send myself a "reset password" link. Oh well, might just have to start submitting more diffs.
I don't need this but I want it!
chad added a subscriber: lpriestley.
I'll see if I can skeleton out an application here. I don't think it will do much.
They don't let me program much, so it'll likely delete all your data.
It would be nice to be able to "bind badges to external things": for example: we've already had requests for "submitted the most diffs" or "closed the most tasks"
There is no way to go from a user's pokemon center to the list of other users with the badge. Clicking on it just flips it over.
That would be our primary use-case, too.
Do it have notifications or hook for email or slack?
chad edited projects, added Badges (v0); removed Badges.
I'm struggling with how to think about the 'temporal' nature of some peer awards that might fit badges. For example, I'd like to give the team that won the popular vote at a hackathon, but it would not feel so special if after a year "everyone" had an Epic badge displayed all the time. I'm thinking more "you get celebrated for a month" and less "list of all the typos I found 3 year ago".
I think maybe something where a badge (or award?) could have a time limit attached after which it would still be in the trophy case, but no longer prominently displayed by each comment? Rescinding the badge feels too harsh.
I expect every user to have millions of participation badges. Yet they'll have to select just two to prominently display.
That's my expectation too -- the user cycles their "2012 Hackathon Winner" badge out for "2013 Easter Egg Finder" once they get bored of it, so badges are always fresh and lookin' fly.
We could maybe just add a [X] Do not show on timelines. option to the badge if this doesn't resolve itself down the road, after T9006 gives users power over which badges are shown.
• samuelmantou edited projects, added Badges (v1); removed Badges (v0).
• samuelmantou moved this task from v1 to v0 on the Badges board.
• samuelmantou edited projects, added Badges (v0); removed Badges (v1).
This has been implemented and in use for a while, so closing and will finish up smaller tasks in backlog.


The upcoming G20 Summit is in the process of holding meetings between several government officials preceding the leaders' summit, which is to be held from November 30 – December 1, 2018.
In the latest slew of those meetings, the finance and central bank officials from participating countries came together in order to discuss key points on various aspects of the financial sector. To no one's surprise, cryptocurrencies remained a hot topic of discussion between them.
Mark Carney, chair of the Financial Stability Board (FSB), which is in charge of coordinating financial rules and regulations for G20 member countries, stated that there is a need to review existing regulations and discussing them further rather than imposing new ones for the sake of doing so.
Speaking to the press, Carney also stated that cryptocurrencies do not seem to hold a threat against the global financial climate.
"The FSB's initial assessment is that crypto-assets do not pose risks to global financial stability at this time." Carney mentioned.
However, he also stated that these digital assets do hold a "host of issues" when it comes to the protection of their investors.
Following Carney's comments and subsequent extensive discussions between the finance and central bank heads at the summit, the nations agreed upon gathering tangible data on existing cryptocurrency regulations and discussing them in their meeting scheduled for July 2018.
These developments followed last year's remarks from the Finance Minister of France, Bruno Le Maire, on discussing cryptocurrency regulations during the summit.
"There is evidently a risk of speculation. We need to consider and examine this and see how (…) with all the other G20 members we can regulate bitcoin." Le Maire had stated at the time.
An important statement issued, provided some sort of guidance on how they would leave the matter of cryptocurrencies for now.
As noted above, the continuous line of money laundering, funding of terrorism and more continue to be psychologically attached to cryptocurrencies posing threats to the psuedo anonymous or in some cases completely anonymous nature of these currencies. This might pose more problems to privacy coins in regards to value and speculation on exchanges, as exchanges might recieve notices to figure out how to make sure these coins comply with AML and KYC regulations.


Trump will "meet with those on the frontlines of the national security and humanitarian crisis" at the southern border, White House press secretary Sanders said.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren is already running the table against potential Democratic primary rivals on two key issues: corruption and transparency within the Trump administration, and making the rules of business better for employees and consumers.
The case centers on Dennis Obduskey, a Colorado man who defaulted on his $329,940 home loan in the aftermath of the 2007 financial crisis.
California's incoming Gov. Gavin Newsom is expected to take a shot at the gun lobby in his inaugural address and has already indicated he supports some gun control legislation his predecessor rejected.
Pompeo's remarks, made in an interview with CNBC's Wilfred Frost, come three months after Saudi agents killed the Washington Post columnist in the kingdom's consulate in Istanbul, Turkey.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., says not all Americans are reaping the benefits of the booming economy. "When anybody is saying the economy is going great … there's a frustration that says, 'Well, the economy's good for who?'" the freshman congresswoman said in an interview with CBS' "60 Minutes" on Sunday.

WhatsApp is beta testing the new feature, the security of users' data will increase
As to when the company will actually launch the feature remains a mystery as the company has not even confirmed that it is working on such a feature.
WhatsApp New Feature: Instant messaging platform WhatsApp has implemented end-to-end encryption, so that the chat between the sender and the receiver remains private. But is it enough. Currently, when WhatsApp data is backed up to Google Drive or iCloud. The backup is not encrypted, which means that authorities can issue search warrants to solicit and provide data from these companies, including WhatsApp chats that are not protected by encryption.
However, according to reports, the Facebook-owned company is working on a technology, with the help of which WhatsApp backups can be independently encrypted on Drop. Reports further state that this system has been enabled on the most recent Android platforms of the instant messaging platform WhatsApp update- version 2.21.15.5.
How will the feature work?
Currently, beta testing is going on for the feature. Users will have the option of opting for this feature, which is understandable as there will be a huge risk involved. Such encryption will require a password or a 64 number recovery key, so that the password can be reset. And any time a person wants to recover his backup from the cloud, he has to use this password or recovery key. Where this sounds true, the big deal is that the password, key, will not be known to WhatsApp, Facebook, Apple or Google, which means the user will have to take responsibility for restoring this backup. And so, if they If you forget the password and lose the key, the backup will be lost forever and even WhatsApp will not be able to help it.
Indian version of PUBG Battlegrounds Mobile India matches announced, winners will get one crore rupees
This feature is currently in the testing phase and it is not known whether it will be started or not. This feature will help users to keep their WhatsApp chats and data private, even if third parties such as cloud companies are involved. And this will be a big step in securing user privacy after end-to-end encryption by WhatsApp.

North Atlantic Right Whale Should Stay On Endangered List, Federal Regulators Say
A ballet of three North Atlantic right whale tails break the surface off Provincetown, Mass., in Cape Cod Bay in 2008. (Stephan Savoia/AP)
As the North Atlantic right whale nears the end of a year of dangerously high mortality, federal ocean regulators are calling for it to remain listed as endangered, according to a report released Friday.
Less than 500 of the right whales exist, and scientists have said at least 15 of them have died since the spring off the coast of U.S. and Canada. Many of the deaths were attributed to vessel strikes and entanglement in fishing gear.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's five-year review of the species states that the right whales are experiencing low reproduction, declining abundance and changes in the availability of food.
The review includes recommendations to protect the species, such as developing a long-term plan for monitoring the population trends and habitat use, and studying the impact of commercial fishing on right whales.
Other recommendations include prioritizing funding of acoustic, aerial and ship surveys of right whales and evaluating whether it might be necessary to modify existing protections such as ship speed rules.
The agency said in a statement that "this most recent decline and the large number of deaths in 2017 are a serious concern, and reminds us that we still have a long way to go to bring this population back to the point at which it is considered recovered." The review states that the whales also suffer due to "continued human-caused mortality" and "uncertainty regarding the effectiveness of conservation regulations."
Biologist Regina Asmutis-Silvia of Whale and Dolphin Conservation said the extension of the endangered status is good, but the animals need new protective measures more than more studies.
"We need action to prevent their extinction," she said. "Unfortunately, right whales don't need any more data for us to know they're endangered."
Researchers with NOAA and the New England Aquarium said last month that they've developed a new model to provide better estimates about the population of right whales. The agency said the number of whales declined from 482 in 2010 to 458 in 2015, following a period of slow recovery in which they increased from about 270 in 1990.
The animals appear off the New England and Canadian coasts in the spring and summer to feed. They are called right whales because they were considered by whalers to be the "right" whales to hunt — they floated when killed and produced high amounts of whale oil. As a result, their population was decimated in the whaling era.

What is Enterobiasis?
Enterobiosis (enterobius vermicularis from Greek. Enteron – intestines, bios – life, from lat. Vermis – worm) – a parasitic disease of a person, characterized by intestinal lesions, itching around the anus and allergization of the body.
Causes of Enterobiasis
The causative agent of enterobiosis is pinworm – Enterobius vermicularus (Linnaeus, 1758; Leach, 1853).
The name Enterobius comes from the Greek enteron – intestines and bios – life, vermicularis – reduced from Latin – a worm living in the intestines of a worm.
Pinworm is a small nematode of a spindle-shaped milk (milk) of white color, the cuticle of which has a transverse striated.
The length of the adult female reaches 9–12 mm, the male 3–5 mm, the tail end of the female is pointed, the male is blunt and hooked. Sharp lateral keels extending along the length of the helminth body form head vesicles at the anterior end. The helminth's digestive system is represented by a mouth opening limited by three lips, a cylindrical esophagus with a bulbous extension extending into the intestine and ending in the anus in the back of the body.
The esophagus bulbus and vesicles form a suction device that secures the fixation of adult helminths to the intestinal wall.
The female reproductive system consists of a paired ovary, a uterus that passes into the vagina, and ends with a vulva. The vagina has muscle pulp, which is in a spasmodic state in the anoxic environment of the human intestine. Therefore, parasitic females, while in the intestinal lumen, do not secrete eggs. The male reproductive system is represented by the testis, which ends with a long spicule.
Pinworm eggs have an oblong, somewhat asymmetric shape, one side more flat. The size of the eggs is 50-60 x 20-30 microns. They are covered with a thin double-circuit colorless smooth shell.
Adult helminths live in the lower part of the small intestine, in the cecum and in the upper part of the colon. As a rule, only females parasitize, males after copulation are excreted with feces. Helminths feed on the contents of the intestines and are optional hematophages. The number of individuals parasitizing in the intestines varies widely from several tens to hundreds and thousands. K.I. Skryabin, V.P. Podyapolskaya and R.S. Schulz described a case when 2750 parasites were found in the intestines during autopsy of a child. Intensive infestations are associated with repeated self-infections.
Human infection with enterobiosis occurs when swallowing mature pinworm eggs, which contain motile larvae. Under the action of digestive enzymes of the small intestine, the larvae are released from the eggs, descending into its lower parts, 2-3 molts pass. Here the process of copulation is completed, and the males passively leave the intestines. And young female pinworms are attached to the mucous membrane with the help of head vesicles and the suction action of the bulb of the esophagus. Eggs form and accumulate in the uterus of the fertilized female, the number of which reaches 5-17 thousand. A stretched enlarged uterus squeezes the bulb of the esophagus, displaces it, as a result of which the helminth loses its ability to stay on the mucosa and, under the action of peristalsis, falls into the lower part of the large intestine. Further, during the active migration of helminth in the rectum, the eggs in the uterus ripen to the stage of a tadpole-like larva.
Overcoming the resistance of the sphincter of the rectum, the female creeps out onto the perianal folds and perineal skin of the invaded. The presence of atmospheric oxygen relaxes the genital tract of the helminth, as a result of which the creeping female secrete eggs that achieve invasiveness directly on the host's body. As the female moves, heaps of eggs 100 to 300 in each remain on the skin of the invaded.
Pinworms creep out more often at night, when falling asleep and during sleep, when the muscles of the anus sphincter are somewhat weakened.
With considerable humidity and untidiness around the anus, oviposition is delayed, and pinworms continue to wander, sometimes crawling along the perineum not only into the vagina, but even through the uterus and fallopian tubes into the pelvic cavity, where they were found encapsulated on the peritoneum.
The individual life of the female who has secreted eggs ends, she dries, turning into a shapeless lump.
The itching that occurs with the movement of helminths leads to scratching of itchy places, contamination of the hands, getting eggs into the subungual beds, where the conditions for development to the invasive stage are also favorable.
Pathogenesis during Enterobiasis
The life cycle of the pinworm does not depend on the climatic conditions of the area, therefore enterobiasis is common in all latitudes of the world where humans exist, and a high level of infestation by pinworms is recorded in many countries.
The share of enterobiasis among other helminthiases reaches 70 – 95%. The spread of enterobiasis depends on the sanitary condition of the home, institution and personal hygiene skills of people. The invasion of children in preschool institutions and schools is especially high. There is no doubt the pathogenic effect of pinworms primarily on the child's body, therefore enterobiasis is of great medical and social significance. It has been established that pinworms, exhibiting an immunosuppressive effect on the body, contribute to a more frequent occurrence in invasive somatic and infectious diseases.
The epidemiological significance of pinworms cannot be ignored either. For the first time ES Shulman pointed out the important role of pinworms in the spread of intestinal infections. It was found that the incidence rate of children with enterobiasis and AEI is in direct high correlation, and infested children are 2 – 3.5 times more likely to suffer from intestinal infections. This is natural, because the level of fecal contamination of the hands of infested children is 3.7 times higher than that of free from helminths. Enterobiasis also contributes to the transmission of other contact parasitoses – hymenolepiasis and giardiasis.
The only source of pinworm infestation is the infested person. The route of infection is oral. A person becomes infected by swallowing eggs. Fingers contaminated with pinworm eggs play an important role in the transmission of the invasion. Enterobiasis is correctly considered a disease of dirty hands. Due to the intolerable itching associated with the crawling of female pinworms from the rectum and their movement, the invasive contaminates the hands when scratching. With dirty hands, helminth eggs are carried onto other parts of the body – the skin of the abdomen, thighs, face, and also fall on underwear and bedding, and when shaken, they rise with dust and settle on household items, floor, furniture, creating conditions for the patient's self-infection, – reinvasion and for widespread invasion of others.
When studying various objects of the external environment, pinworm eggs were found on dishes, toys, tables, desks, money, on food, where they fell from dirty hands and with dust.
Flies play a role in the spread of pinworm eggs.
On human skin, underwear, pinworm eggs ripen quickly (4-6 hours) to the invasive stage. The optimum temperature for their development is 35 – 37 ° С, but they are able to develop at temperatures from 23 to 40 ° С.
Helminth eggs at a temperature of 18 – 20 ° C and a relative humidity of 70% survive for 3 weeks, at -15 ° C for no more than 40 – 50 minutes, and at a temperature of + 55 ° C and above – a few seconds. Drying and solar radiation are detrimental.
The main factor in the transmission of infestation is hands, as well as toys, food contaminated with hands. Infestation of children in swimming pools is possible. The possibility of infection by inhaling eggs with dust is not excluded.
The pathogenic effect of pinworms on the human body is due to a complex of mechanisms.
The pathogenesis is based on the mechanical effect of helminths on the intestinal mucosa, associated with irritation of mechanoreceptors and chemoreceptors during their fixation and movement. Irritation of the ileocecal region leads to reflex disturbance of the motor and secretory functions of the digestive tract organs, and as a consequence – the possibility of developing gastritis, gastroduodenitis, enteritis.
Individual individuals of female helminths can penetrate deep into the mucous membrane 2/3 of their body length, as a result of which an inflammatory reaction develops around them, granulomas are formed, consisting of eosinophils, lymphocytes, macrophages. The severity of the pathological process depends on the intensity and duration of the invasion.
When entering the appendix, pinworms can cause appendicitis. Gutsaliev A.G. (1966) found pinworms in the appendix in 111 out of 322 operated on for appendicitis. In those infested with pinworms, anal and rectal fistulas, paraproctitis are described. Due to prolonged irritation and scratching on the skin of the perianal region, dermatitis and even severe weeping and dry eczema occur, sometimes extending far beyond the perineum.
Ectopic migration of pinworms is the cause of vulvitis, vaginitis, endometritis, constituting a serious pathology in pediatric gynecology.
Severe irritation of the perianal and genitourinary spheres and scratching with fingers lead to early awakening of the sexual instinct, to masturbation, masturbation, and dysuria.
In the pathogenesis of enterobiasis, as has been established in recent years, the immunosuppressive effect of pinworms is of great importance. According to A. Ya. Lysenko, Feldman, 1991; Markina, 1994, and others, pinworms suppress the development of post-vaccination immunity against diphtheria. Given the widespread occurrence of enterobiasis in children, the authors explain this by the high percentage of schoolchildren, preschoolers and disorganized children who are not immune to diphtheria.
Even after three times DPT inoculations, 18% of children lack anti-diphtheria antibodies, and 14.5% acquire them in very low titers. In connection with these data, an important conclusion is made that in order to achieve a high level of effectiveness of vaccination against diphtheria, it is necessary to free children from invasion before it is carried out.
Pinworms have a negative effect on the nervous system, especially children, their behavior, intelligence, causing increased irritability, absent-mindedness, impairment of memorization, etc.
The presence of pinworms leads to disruption of the normal composition of the intestinal microbial flora. Attention is drawn to the fact that dysbiosis and the prevalence of pathogenic microbial flora in the large intestine in the presence of invasion are recorded 4.5 times more often when compared with non-invasive children.
According to numerous observations, the level of morbidity in children with enterobiasis and acute intestinal infections is in a direct high correlation relationship; infested children are 2.5 – 3 times more likely to suffer from acute intestinal infections. Enterobiasis also adversely affects the course of intestinal infections of viral hepatitis A, in children – childhood infections.
Many observations confirm the aggravating effect of enterobiasis, like other helminthiases, on the course of pregnancy, causing toxicosis, dermatoses and other pathologies. Given the high contagiousness of the invasion, one cannot fail to foresee a third of its significance in terms of possible infection of newborns in the postpartum period, lactation period.
Symptoms of Enterobiasis
The clinical manifestations of enterobiasis are varied and depend on the intensity of infection, the frequency of reinvasion and the individual reaction of the infected person. In addition, numerous observations confirm the importance of age, namely, a more severe, often complicated reaction of the child's body.
Observations of the parasitologist A.S. Kozlov (1985), who conducted a self-experiment, repeating pinworm infections seven times over the course of two years, are of indisputable interest. Achieving practical reliability, he swallowed different doses of eggs – 4 re-invasions and 2 super-invasions – from 1000 to 10 000. As a result, the author had reason to conclude that in the clinical course of enterobiasis, like other helminthiasis, there are two phases – acute and chronic …
In the case of primary invasion, according to these data, the clinical incubation is two days, the acute phase is 5-7. Parasitological incubation – the beginning of the isolation of females, which actually determines the duration of the chronic phase of one infection, is 35 – 75 days.
The main clinical symptoms of the acute phase of enterobiasis are abdominal pain, morning intestinal discomfort, nausea, and frequent bowel movements up to 4 times a day. These phenomena last up to 5 – 7 days, the stool remains speeded up until the end of the invasion.
The nature of clinical manifestations in the chronic phase is ambiguous. In some of the infected, enterobiasis proceeds without complaints, in the absence of clinical symptoms. The intensity of symptoms in the chronic phase of enterobiasis depends primarily on the intensity of invasion and the frequency of super- and reinvasion.
With a weak invasion, the main complaint is perianal itching, which occurs more often in the evening before bedtime, when falling asleep, and sometimes abdominal pain. After 2-3 days, all these symptoms disappear and, as a rule, recur every 3-4 weeks. This periodicity is associated with the completion of the development of a new generation of helminths as a result of reinvasion.
With a more intense and prolonged invasion, perianal itching disturbs the invader not only in the evening and night hours, but also during the day. Abdominal pain intensifies, more often in the right ileocecal region, reminiscent of pain in appendicitis, tenesmus, flatulence, and loose stools occur. Unbearable itching disrupts sleep, becomes the cause of nocturia, masturbation. From the side of the hemogram, moderate leukocytosis is noted, eosinophilia of peripheral blood, which gradually increases in the early phase, reaches a maximum (23%) by 16 days, then gradually decreases by the end of the invasion to 4 – 5%.
As a rule, neurological symptoms are expressed, such as headache, dizziness, memory loss. Children often suffer, they become capricious, whiny, get tired quickly, and do not perceive useful skills well. Instability of attention, inability to concentrate reduces academic performance, in adults – work capacity.
Enterobiasis has a reliably negative effect on behavioral reactions and neuropsychic development of preschool children. Cases of fainting and epileptiform seizures in children, causally associated with enterobiasis, have been described.
Severe complications of enterobiasis include appendicopathies and appendicitis, proctitis and paraproctitis, dermatitis and eczema of the perianal region with their characteristic symptoms.
The indisputable cause of painful vulvitis and vulvovaginitis in girls is often chronic enterobiasis.
M.G. Makarova found that enterobiasis causes a significant decrease in nonspecific immunity: the activity of salivary lysozyme (1.5 times) and the content of alpha-interferon (to a level less than 2 units / ml), at the same time does not affect the content gamma interferon. These data are of particular interest in terms of establishing the causes of immunosuppression, which is especially common in children.
The prognosis in the absence of complications with enterobiasis is favorable.
In conclusion, it is necessary to pay attention to the polymorphism of clinical manifestations causally associated with enterobiasis, but characteristic of the most diverse organ pathology. This is what leads to the inevitable appeal of the invasive to doctors of different specialties: gastroenterologists, obstetricians-gynecologists, neuropathologists, allergists, dermatologists, urologists, surgeons, etc. And only the correct orientation of such a specialist on the need to exclude enterobiotic invasion provides qualified assistance to the patient.

As a Perinatal Practitioner I want to support women and birthing families by empowering them through education, resources and evidence based choices for childbirth. As a Doula, I believe the role is to support and nurture a family in a way that is unique to them and provides an environment for a them to grow.
I believe that support should cover all FIVE trimesters.
I believe birth is natural and should be as individual as you are.
I believe you should feel safe, respected, encouraged and powerful and that childbirth is not a sickness but a life event that should be celebrated.
As a single mum to a teenage boy, I know what it means to be surrounded and lifted by a supportive network. Having experience as a Peri-operative (Operating Theatre) Registered Nurse, I understand the environment of the hospital and medical world. As a Pregnancy Remedial Massage Therapist, I get the need for therapeutic touch and it's benefits. As a student Childbirth Educator, I am on the path to providing you with up to date, unbiased, relevant and evidence based research and knowledge to help you develop the right birthing plan for you. I aim to provide accessible, affordable, quality, tailored birthing bodywork, support and education.
When I began working with expectant women in 2013 through massage, I began to realise how important it was to demystify pregnancy and childbirth. To embrace birth as a positive experience. I wanted to hold space for women and their partners to feel like their pregnancy wasn't treated as a "sickness" or something to be managed.
I wanted them to be EMPOWERED.
To make informed decisions, to give them the opportunity to make their own best life choices, to ask the questions they thought they couldn't ask, to feel that their experiences of birth were positive and unique. I believe in giving 100% non-judgemental unbiased support through pregnancy, labour and postpartum.
I believe you should feel respected, trusted and supported.
I believe that women should have a safe, secure, and private environment to birth in. I believe a good positive birth can be achieved with love, support and awareness even when things don't go to "plan". Whether you plan to utilize modern medicine during your birth, go completely intervention free, or decide to change your mind in the midst of labor, I will support your choices.
Each birth is unique; there is no one-size-fits-all birth plan.
I will simply be there for you.
I will provide you with knowledge. I will make sure I present you with evidence based research to help answer all your questions.
No question will go unanswered.
I will support you in developing your own birth preferences. I will support you in becoming as informed and educated as you need in developing your own birth attitude and birth values.
I will provide you with emotional support. I will listen to your worries and concerns and delight in your happiness. I will be there for you. You will be my focus. I will advocate for you and support your birth preferences. I will provide reassurance and encouragement.
I trust in your ability to give birth.
I will not replace your partner, your family or your midwife or medical team. My role includes supporting your birth partner by offering a reassuring presence that birth is a natural process and by offering ideas as to how best to support you. I will "mother the mother".
But most of all, I will respect your birthright to labour and birth your baby in your own time and your own way.
As a doula I feel it is a privilege and honour to be sharing in the everyday miracle of birth and the birthing journey.
To enable a woman to become a mother, a couple a family, a family a tribe.


Mr. Nassrollah Kasraian, the famous Iranian photographer, has produced a Persian calendar for the next Iranian year (1383). The calendar is being sold in major bookstores in Tehran, and all proceeds will go through an NGO that I'm involved in towards rehabilitation of schools in quake-stricken areas in Bam and Jiroft.
There are 12 pictures in the calendar, 8 from the historic Arg-e Bam and 4 from Kavir Lout. You can help the quake victims by ordering these calendars through your relatives. To order large quantities, please contact Syma Sayyah directly.
This is a very good way for companies to help the quake survivors. One company has placed an order for 10,000 calendars and they will distribute it among their representatives in Iran. They also ordered a 2004 calendar with the same pictures.

We are saddened to share the news that John Ball has passed away. For many years John provided IT, digital and infrastructure support to all of the National Sprint Regattas.
John was the oracle of all of the start, timing and photo finish systems at Holme Pierrepont and provided an invaluable service to the regatta committee.
John first started working with British Canoeing whilst employed at the National Watersports Centre and latterly from his own business Hudson and Ball.
Many members and paddlers will not know John but thousands of participants and spectators at national sprint regattas will have benefitted hugely from his calm and supportive approach to keeping all the systems running like clockwork.
National sprint regattas at Nottingham won't be the same without his ability to solve problems and his resourceful and capable presence to fix everything with a smile.
Cathy Wynne – Sprint Regatta Chief Official said:
"John was truly the 'backroom hero' who will be sorely missed by us all. There have been times when without John solving a problem the regatta would not have been able to continue.
"Many paddlers and clubs would not actually know just how much John Ball did for our Sprint Racing regattas, but for the regatta officials he was our 'rock' that provided steadfast support when all else was falling apart.
"He was a lovely guy and without his calm and reassuring presence the national regattas will never be the same."
John's brother, Chris, said:
"John was my younger brother – 44 years old. He loved the challenges and problem solving faced in the organising of sporting events, along with the thrill and appreciation of participants and spectators benefiting from the hard work that the events teams put into such events.
"Outside of the working environment, John enjoyed life with his loving partner of 20 years; Anna and their house of dogs and cats.
"John's main sporting passion was sailing – having sailed and raced with friends and family since a young lad; heading off on adventures sailing around the UK coast, and across to the continent. When racing John reversed roles and was the focussed competitor rather than a competition organiser.
I know John's contribution to the sporting community is appreciated and will be sorely missed, as he will be by his family and friends."
Our thoughts are with Anna, his partner, his brother Chris, his family and friends.
