Rihanna's Clara Lionel Foundation donates $15 million to climate justice organizations
ANGELA WEISS/AFP via Getty Images
Rihanna is donating $15 million to organizations working to find solutions to climate disasters in communities of color.
The nine-time Grammy winner announced Tuesday that her Clara Lionel Foundation is making donations to 18 climate justice organizations working in seven Caribbean nations and the United States. They include the Movement for Black Lives, the Climate Justice Alliance, and the Caribbean Climate Justice Project.
"Climate disasters, which are growing in frequency and intensity, do not impact all communities equally, with communities of color and island nations facing the brunt of climate change," reads a statement from the foundation. "Funders must build partnerships with grassroots organizations, acknowledging their deep understanding of what is necessary to achieve climate justice in their own communities."
The grants, made in partnership with Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey's #StartSmall philanthropic initiative, are focused on groups with female, LGBT, and Black and Indigenous leaders because their communities are at the greatest risk.
In August, the foundation also donated $500,000 in emergency response funding for the earthquake in Haiti which left over 2,000 people dead, thousands injured, and hundreds missing.


I'd like a page with a grid of 'featured images' from posts of a certain category. Each image linking to it's respective post. Is there a way of doing this or a plugin anyone can suggest. I can do it by hand but a simpler way must be available?

What I need?
So guys, I want when an input is empty the fill_field div has a display block, and when an input has less than 8 characters, the minium_8_characters div has a display block and if the input has space the div cant_contain_space now have display block, and if the input has more than 8 characters unless it has space, the display of these divs must be none, I want to validate all these inputs with javascript, but I can't do this, I'm 1 week away with this problem and I can't solve it at all.  And the button is of type Button and not submit because the function of submitting the form I created with javascript, but it lacks the function to validate, how can I do this validation without having to write a thousand lines of code?
Note: Notice that for each input I put a different id on the divs I mentioned above.

A: Maybe you can try
JS:
function validateMe() {
  let input = document.forms["formName"]["name"].value;
  if (input == "") {
    // YOU HANDLE CODE FOR INVALID CASE GOES HERE
    return false;
  }
}

HTML:
<form name="formName" action="/action_page.php" onsubmit="return validateMe()" method="post">
Name: <input type="text" name="name">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

Posts Tagged 'pay attention to meeeee'
several bits of publishing news
Five things make a post, right?
* About two hours from when I post this, Alyc and I will be doing an event with Tubby and Coo's, a New Orleans independent bookseller! We'll be in conversation with fellow author Bryan Camp, and three attendees will get their very own Rook and Rose astrological chart from Alyc.
* Last summer I was a guest on the Aurora Award-winning Worldshapers podcast. One of the neat things about this podcast is that the guy who runs it, Edward Willett, edited an anthology featuring stories from the guests he had in his first year. Now he's doing it again, with a Kickstarter to fund the second volume! I'm on deck to provide a story for that, and I've also offered some fun goodies in the rewards: signed copies of The Mask of Mirrors, ebooks of Maps to Nowhere, and even some photographic prints.
* The reason I was on Worldshapers last year was because of Driftwood, which is my segue to the next item: my publisher, Tachyon, has teamed up with Humble Bundle and the Carl Brandon Society to offer a truly massive superbundle of Tachyon titles, Driftwood included. The bundle as a whole has a value of $441, and you can get all the levels for just $28. Proceeds support the Electronic Frontier Foundation and the Carl Brandon Society, the latter of which helps support readers and writers of color in speculative fiction.
* Publication news! I crowed here when I sold a story to F&SF (after nineteen years of trying); now I can hold the proof of my success in my hands. 😀 They're having some website problems right now that mean there's no direct way to buy a physical copy, but ebooks can be gotten through Weightless Books, or you can subscribe here.
* And finally, one of my horror-style flash fairy tale retellings, "The Snow-White Heart," has been reprinted in Frozen Wavelets! This and its fellow tale "Waiting for Beauty" are among my most-reprinted pieces, which is funny because I don't generally think of myself as someone who writes horror . . .
I think that's it for now. But my brain is like a sieve lately, so who knows. 😛
Upcoming events of awesomeness!
It has been bonkers around here for the last two months or so, with a nigh-constant stream of interviews and promotional events. That's slacking off at last, but there are two more coming up that I want to particularly draw attention to . . .
First, this Sunday, February 28th, we're getting the band back together! Myself, Alyc, my husband, and two friends of ours from my grad school days (Emily Dare and fellow author Michael R. Underwood) are getting together for a Rook and Rose Blades in the Dark tabletop game. We all used to game together back in Bloomington — and in fact, the only reason I use the past tense there is that Mike doesn't live out in the Bay Area with the rest of us, so he's not in our current gaming group. But he's offered to GM a one-shot game this Sunday, from 6 p.m. Eastern/3 p.m. Pacific until about three hours later, which will be streaming live on Twitch. (My first time doing this kind of thing for an audience, eek!) We'll be playing members of the Oyster Crackers, an Upper Bank knot of thieves that appear briefly in The Liar's Knot; I suspect we may run into the Rook. But I have no idea! It's in Mike's hands! This feels so weird and so awesome at the same time!
And second, on Wednesday, March 10th, Alyc and I will be doing an event with Tubby & Coo's, a great independent bookstore in New Orleans. This is set up courtesy of fellow author Bryan Camp, a New Orleans local; we'll have a reading and a conversation with him. That's at 6 p.m Central, which is 7 p.m. Eastern and 4 p.m. Pacific.
. . . plus some more interviews, but those are more of a "record it and then it'll go live later" kind of thing. Oof. Full court press in promoting The Mask of Mirrors has been fun, but it's also tiring, y'all.
THE MASK OF MIRRORS IS OUT! + where to find me in the next month
The time has come, the walrus said, to celebrate the fact that The Mask of Mirrors is out at last!
Now I begin to enact the ritual dance of the Author With a New Book Out — which is to say, my schedule is chock-full of Things I am doing for promotion. Right now you can find our Big Idea piece up at John Scalzi's blog and our My Favorite Bit piece up at Mary Robinette Kowal's, not to mention the various other interviews and podcasts we've been lining up for the last two months. But that's not all — we've also got several events coming up in the near future!
TONIGHT, at 7 p.m. Pacific, Alyc and I will be doing a joint event with Christopher Paolini at Mysterious Galaxy Bookstore. Signed and personalized books are available!
On Thursday, January 21st, at 6 p.m. Pacific, we will be doing a joint event with Andrea Stewart (author of The Bone Shard Daughter) at Orbit Live. This event will also be made available on YouTube afterward, for those who aren't able to attend.
We will be doing an AMA at r/Fantasy on Tuesday, January 26th — so if you have questions you'd like to ask, get 'em ready!
I will also be teaching a workshop on how to do public readings of your work, through the auspices of the Dream Foundry.
On Wednesday, February 3rd, at 7 p.m. Pacific, I will be reading at The Story Hour.
And finally (for now, anyway), I will be participating in virtual Boskone, from February 12th-14th! Precise programming schedule TBA.
Go forth and tell everyone the book is out! I know the world is very full of other stuff going on right now, much of it bad and more important for the general state of the world than the publication of a fantasy novel . . . but also, live goes on at the same time, and so does work. Pandemics and white supremacists be damned — I want to enjoy this moment!
And YOU get a book, and YOU get a book, and YOU get a book!
Y'all, there are so many giveaways right now for The Mask of Mirrors. In no particular order:
* Alyc and I are asking people to design a Rook and Rose cocktail and mocktail! (We want something celebratory to drink on the book's release day.) You have until noon Pacific on Monday the 18th to send us a recipe for either one or both, with the only real restriction being that Alyc loathes all forms of gin, so probably best to avoid that. We'll choose one winner in each category and send them a signed copy of The Mask of Mirrors, along with one of the gorgeous bookplates Orbit had made! (US only — our apologies to people overseas, though we still welcome recipe suggestions from you.) You can post your recipes here or on Twitter or Facebook, or send them via our site.
* Beneath Ceaseless Skies is running their own giveaway, ending Wednesday the 13th. All you have to do is respond to that post with your favorite caper/thief story published in BCS (and there's a list of candidates to get you started). And in case you missed it, they have a Rook and Rose short story, too!
* And our publisher is running a giveaway, too! This one is open to both US residents and UK residents, with separate portals for each. That goes through the end of the month.
* Finally, you've got about two days left (as of this post going live) to enter a Booksweeps giveaway for fifty epic fantasy novels, The Mask of Mirrors included! That one ends in the wee hours of the morning for U.S. residents on Thursday the 14th.
AMA, in progress now!
Also, to celebrate the release of Driftwood, I'm doing an AMA at r/Fantasy right now!
DRIFTWOOD giveaway!
If you missed yesterday's Twitter giveaway for Driftwood, never fear; Beneath Ceaseless Skies has another opportunity for you. All you have to do is go to this post and leave a comment naming your favorite short story of mine (whether published in BCS or elsewhere). There are already a number of comments — and I confess, it's fascinating to see what people choose! You have until midnight Pacific time on Wednesday, August 12th to toss your hat into the ring.
Borderlands on Saturday!
If you're somewhere in the vicinity of San Francisco, I'll be reading at Borderlands Books this Saturday (the 5th) at 3 p.m. I hope to see some of you there!
Ebook bundle giveaway!
I'm currently participating in a science fiction and fantasy BookSweeps giveaway, with my short story collection Maps to Nowhere. The setup is that you enter by following one or more of the participating authors on BookBub. They're a promotional service that offers lots of deals, but what following an author there does is notify you when they release a new book, which I find really handy.
The giveaway itself contains eighteen ebooks and a chance to win a Nook Tablet or a Kindle Fire. So if that sounds shiny to you, head on over here to take part! You have until Wednesday, May 23rd.
AMA! (or rather, AMATOPA!)
"Ask Me and Three Other People Anything" doesn't quite have the same catchy ring as "Ask Me Anything," but the concept is the same! The creative team for Born to the Blade (myself, Michael R. Underwood, Cassandra Khaw, and Malka Older) are all doing a joint AMA over on Reddit today. So far we've been asked everything from what it's like working on a collaborative project to who would win in a bare-knuckles brawl, Merry & Pippin on one side and Sam & Frodo on the other. If you have anything you'd like to ask, whether it's of me or someone else or the team as a whole, head on over and let us know!
Tomorrow at Borderlands!
I don't have a novel coming out this spring, but I'll be at Borderlands Books tomorrow anyway, at 3 p.m., as part of a group reading with Nancy Jane Moore, Dave Smeds, and Deborah J. Ross. We'll be reading from the Book View Cafe anthology Nevertheless, She Persisted, with a Q&A and signing. I hope to see some of you there!

Q: Converte json file to csv file with proper formatted rows and columns in excel Currently I'm working a script that can convert json file to csv format my script is working but I need to modify it to have proper data format like having rows and columns when the json file is converted to csv file, May I know what I need to add or modify on my script?
import pandas as pd

df = pd.read_json (r'/home/admin/myfile.json')
df.to_csv (r'/home/admin/xml/myfileSample.csv', index = None, sep=":")

A: Taking reference from your code,you can try
df.to_csv(r'/home/admin/xml/myfileSample.csv', encoding='utf-8', header=header,index = None, sep=":")

A: This could be useful.
import pandas as pd

df_json=pd.read_json("input_file.json")
df_json.head()
df_json.to_csv("output_file.csv",index=False)

A: Your code is all fine, Just change the to_csv to to_excel function and it should work all fine!
import pandas as pd

df = pd.read_json (r'/home/admin/myfile.json')
df.to_excel (r'/home/admin/xml/myfileSample.csv', index = None, sep=":")

Cook with Nivedita – Page 2 – A blog for easy recipes.
The crispy spinach toast. As a kid, I always liked 'The Popeye show'. A happy and cheerful cartoon character, who ate spinach whenever he needed instant energy to fight Bluto. From that time, I always wondered what is so special about spinach?
The Mumbai special. Dahi Puri… Being a Mumbaikar, I am a fan of pani puri, dahi puri and bhel. They are all quick and tasty recipes.
The home made pizza. Whenever we hear the word pizza, our taste buds peak. Having had different varieties of pizzas, one still goes back for more. The first time I made one was when all siblings were together.
The Diwali special. Diwali, a festival of lights. In India, it's the most widely/largely celebrated festival. It is celebrated consecutively for 5 days. Lighting diyas, making colourful rangolis, preparing delicacies, packing of gifts, shopping are all part of this vibrant festival.
The sweet & healthy. My first sweet dish. Sweets are mostly made up of milk products which gives them the sweet taste, but the addition of dry fruits in this particular sweet dish really brought out the best of both.
The veggie Chinese. A simple and easy recipe to make that can fulfill anyone's and everyone's appetite. Noodles are an explored and experimented food, not only by the native Chinese but also a wide variety of other cultures.
The fine chicken dish. Having tried a lot of vegetarian dishes, I now thought of trying a non-vegetarian one. A chicken dish is made in variety of ways in different parts of the world. What we Maharashtrians usually use is a mix of spices that brings out an unparalleled taste.
One for Grandpa. This recipe is dedicated to my grandpa, who now is 80 years old. 🙂 Whenever he is bored with the contemporary food, he very subtly asks me to make it and I enjoy making it too.

Q: In Rails, how can I create a button that saves an entry from an external api into my database? I have an Rails api that consumes an external design search api using the HTTParty gem. With the data that is returned to my view I'd like to be able to save selected entries to my database. Kind of like a bookmark function. Is there anyway of having a button next to each search result item that would achieve this? Any help would really be appreciated. My current code is below.
designs controller:
class DesignsController < ApplicationController
    def index
        @search = Api.new.find(params[:q])['results']
    end
end

Class method:
class Api
  include HTTParty
  base_uri "http://search.example.com/searchv2"

  attr_accessor :name, :limit, :offset

  # Find a particular design, based on its name
  def find(name)
    self.class.get("/designs", query: { q: name }).parsed_response
  end
end

View:

Design Search

<%= form_tag(designs_path, method: :get) do %>
  <%= label_tag(:q, "Search for:") %>
  <%= text_field_tag(:q) %>
  <%= submit_tag("Search") %>
<% end %>

Search results:

<% @search.each do |design| %>

<%= design['name'] %>

<%= image_tag design['thumbnail_url'] %>

<% end %>

Design model:
class Design < ApplicationRecord
end

A: app/views/designs/index.html.erb:
...
<% @search.each do |design| %>

<%= design['name'] %>

<%= image_tag design['thumbnail_url'] %>

  <%= button_to 'Save',
        designs_path(
          design: design.slice('name', 'thumbnail_url') # etc...
        ),
        method: :post,
        data: { disable_with: 'Loading...' }
  %>
<% end %>

app/config/routes.rb:
resources :designs, only: [:index, :create]

app/controllers/designs_controller.rb:
class DesignsController < ApplicationController
  # ...
  def create
    @design = Design.new(design_params)
    @design.save!

    # just an example...
    redirect_to designs_path, success: 'Design has been saved!'
  end

  private

  def design_params
    params.require(:design).permit(:name, :thumbnail_url) # etc...
  end
end

TODOs:

*

*your Design model needs to have attributes that you want to be saved (i.e: :name? and :thumbnail_url?). My assumption was that you already have created/migrated these attributes; if not yet, then please do add them.

*because there's still a vulnerability in my code above in that any user can modify the <button>'s <form action='...'> (i.e. they can modify the "name" of the design as they wish when it gets Saved), then my solution above is still not the best solution, though for simplicity and that assuming that this vulnerability is not a problem for you, then the above code already is sufficient.

Gallatin Skate Center Built in 1964
June, 2017 — Judy Elbert will be selling between 75 and 100 pairs of roller skates from the Elbert's Skating Rink. The collection includes white high-top ladies' skates and black three-quarter-top men's skates and children's skates.
After years of unuse, the Gallatin Skate Center is getting cleaned up to house a flea market. Approximately 75 to 100 pairs of leather roller skates are being offered for sale by property owner Judy Elbert. Although in storage for 25-30 years, these skates can be easily reconditioned for use.
The skates will bring back lots of memories for those who can recall gliding along the wooden floor in an endless circle and leaning into corners while going perilously fast. Others will remember the bumps and bruises from spins and flips and zigzags gone wrong, and may still have the scars to prove it.
The roller rink, located on the south edge of Gallatin, was once a popular activity for children, teenagers, and adults.
The skating rink has not been in business for many years and Judy said she has only sold a few skates in the past.
"People who used to skate at the roller rink would ask to buy a pair just for the childhood nostalgia," she said.
Recently, when James Hawks asked to rent the lot bordering the rink for a flea market, he suggested that Judy put the rental skates up for sale.
"They're still usable; they have good wheels; they're all in pretty good shape," Judy said. "They've been sitting for 25-30 years so they're a little dusty. But they're made of good leather and can easily be cleaned and reconditioned and put back into use."
Edward Elbert (Judy's father-in-law) and N.C. Bennett were partners in the building of the roller rink. N.C. was the contractor, and it was built it in 1964. Mr. Elbert and Mr. Bennett ran it together for five years. Mr. Bennett eventually lost interest, so Mr. Elbert bought his share. Mr. Elbert ran the roller rink until he passed away in 1975. After that, his wife Margaret Pauline ran it for the next two years.
Carl and LaJoy Abbs leased and renovated the skating rink in 1977. After that, Bonnie Lowe had a video business in the building for a number of years. That was the last time the building was rented out.
This photo, dated June 22, 1977, accompanied the newspaper article announcing the re-opening of the Gallatin Skate Center. Shown, from left, are youngsters Roger Woody, Teresa Frost, Kim Abbs, Kelly Elbert, Beth Schweizer and Slade Elbert with adults Carl and LaJoy Abbs who leased the rink. These young people — plus Jim Elliott, Mark Abbs and Chris Elbert who were not present for the picture — cleaned 787 ceiling tiles, and rebuilt 192 pairs of skates, including 1,536 wheels and 23,296 ball bearings, for the center's re-opening.
Carl Abbs offers a steady hand to Denise Focht. Carl and his wife, LaJoy, reopened the center to the delight of many throughout the Gallatin community.
By far, the Elbert's Skating Rink heyday was in the mid to late 60s.
"During those years, it was quite popular with the young people around here; there was skating every night," said Judy. "On Friday and Saturday, there was an early night and then a late night session. Whole church congregations and other organizations would rent the building for skate parties on Sunday."
Eddie Elbert was still running the rink during the heyday. "He loved skating, even when he was in his seventies," Judy said. "He'd skate with the kids and have a wonderful time."
Judy's late husband Spence was also involved with the skating rink and would go down every night after working at the department store and stay until the rink closed.
Part of the fun at roller skating rinks involved contests testing skater prowess, as demonstrated here by Todd Evans in 1977.
Speed skating around Stacy Kirkendoll is Jerry Barlow in this photo snapped during the re-opening of Gallatin Skate Center in 1977.
Jessica Eskridge, left, was all smiles rolling onto the skating rink.
The skating rink was a favorite place for area youth to meet and make memories to last a lifetime. Shown are childhood buddies Denise Focht, Stacy Kirkendoll, Shelly Williamson and Candi Love. By 1980, Gallatin Skate Center housed a video business and skating rolled into nostalgia.
Youngsters enjoying their roller skating are Jason Love, Loren Adkins, and Alan Wood (1977).
Friendships strengthen as youngsters depend on each other to learn how to skate. Shown here is Jenny (?0, Stephanie Bradley and Amber Burns in 1977.
Debbie Pittzenbarger and Shelley Fales demonstrate "skating low," a skill necessary to compete in The Limbo contests.
Roller skating served up plenty of humiliating moments… but all in fun. Here Alan Wood weathers a spill yet still laughs at himself in such a splitting predictament.
Candi Love demonstrates how the athletic agility of girls can rival that of the boys in roller skating. (1977)

Well one Sunday, as the preacher of the First Atchafalaya Church of the Redeemer was getting his second wind about 30 minutes into the sermon, wouldn't you know it, but Satan appeared. Seeing who it was, the preacher, Clotile, and all the parishioners were crawling out windows and trampling one another in a frantic effort to get out of there. All except Boudreaux who just sat there calmly staring up at the Devil with a very disinterested look on his face.
"Nope, sure ain't," said Boudreaux.
When they arrested Jesus, they also grabbed a young man by his robes, who was a disciple of Jesus, with plans to arrest him along with Jesus, but the young man wriggled out of his clothes and fled naked into the darkness. We've said before that there wasn't room for fluff in the Gospels and that what appears to us to be extraneous information was actually included for a reason, so I ask you this: what is behind the inclusion of these details about the young man running naked through the Garden of Gethsemane?
There has been widespread speculation on Mark's intent in including these details and many have proposed a good bit of theological significance to it, but a long held tradition from some of the Church Fathers tells us the explanation could actually be much simpler. The Church Fathers tell us that the inclusion of this piece of information is autobiographical. They say Mark is telling us that he is the young man and that it was he who was so afraid, that he ran off naked.
So today, as we continue to observe the witnesses of the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus, I would like for us to look a bit more closely at this streaking disciple and what his actions on that night say about us all, because, like good ol' Boudreaux, I think you and I are much more likely to flee from God than we are from the Devil. Why? Consider our Gospel reading today.
Jesus has healed the man born blind, yet the Pharisees do not believe it. They question him, but he holds to his story. Seeking to find witnesses against him, the Pharisees call forward the man's parents. They agree that this is their son who was born blind, but they do not know how he can now see. They then say, "'Ask him; he is of age. He will speak for himself.' His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed that anyone who confessed Jesus to be the Messiah would be put out of the synagogue. Therefore his parents said, 'He is of age; ask him.'" (cf. John 9:18-23) They were afraid to declare Jesus Messiah, because they were afraid of what that might cost them.
There are times when the proper response to fear is to run away. Stir up a nest of hornets? Run away. Upset a member of the Altar Guild? Run away. The Devil pops up in church? Yeah, run away. However, confronted for your faith in Christ? Don't you budge. Spoken evil of for your works of righteousness? You stand your ground and pray the words of Jesus, "Not my will, but yours be done." Counted among the simpletons of the world for proclaiming the Good News? My good friend St. Josemaría Escrivá writes, "I read a proverb which is very popular in some countries: 'God owns the world, but he rents it out to the brave', and it made me think — What are you waiting for?" (The Furrow, #99) Counted among the simpletons? Be brave, pay the rent, and stand your ground.
"Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul." (Matthew 10:28) On the day of evil, stand your ground.
Let us pray: O God, who raised up Saint Mark, your Evangelist, and endowed him with the grace to preach the Gospel, grant, we pray, that we may so profit from his teaching as to follow faithfully in the footsteps of Christ. Who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.


As apart of our investigation into light and sound the year one children investigated how we can hear and feel sound. We investigated different things that can make sound eg. a hammer, a guitar and a splash. We then talked about how all these things can make vibrations which cause invisible sound waves to travel through the air.
As scientists, we decided to go one step further and see how these vibrations and sound waves could be seen by the human eye....using hundreds and thousands.
We made a drum like surface using a bowl and some cling wrap and then we predicted what we thought would happen if we hummed near the bowl and put some hundreds and thousands on top of the cling wrap. We had three predictions to choose from: nothing would happen, the hundreds and thousands would change colour or the hundreds and thousands would move and vibrate. It was very interesting to gather some of the students predictions.
We then got into groups of three and conducted our experiment and found that the hundreds and thousands could dance when we hummed near the bowl. The children loved finding out about vibrations and sound waves and were interested in finding out how sound reaches our ears.
If you'd like to view or conduct the experiment at home, please click on the link below for the video.
Over the next two weeks the children will be presented with a problem that they have to solve duirng our Science time, please have a read of the brief below which I will be presenting to the children this week.
I have posted this project a little bit early so you can start collecting materials for your child's design (all help would be appreciated!). I will also be posting up a time for parents who would like to come in and help construct the sun chimes with the students.
A Full Week in Year One!
Investigating sound and light in Science!

2013: global growth to pick up, says State Street's Lacaille
James Norris
Global growth should pick up slightly in 2013 on improvements in both the advanced and developing economies, says State Street Global Advisors' global CIO Rick Lacaille.
However, risks remain skewed to the downside, he said, reflecting potential fallout from the Chinese slowdown, the European debt crisis and the US fiscal cliff.
He adds: "Investors have become all too familiar with the headwinds to economic growth and corporate profits and therefore remain concerned with the potential for losses on risky assets. Recent experience indicates the firm intention of central bankers to keep financial conditions stable for an indefinite period. The hedge that investors need most may not be robust protection against massive downside, but rather sustained performance amid prolonged stagnation.
He says a lack of compelling alternatives should keep investors attracted to equities, even though growth prospects are "tepid" and the outlook for company profits "uncertain". Yield-oriented portfolios should retain considerable appeal.
On the US, Lacaille notes the lack of any significant change resulting from the US elections. But, he says, the US debt ceiling must be raised by mid February 2013. "We believe there will be a short-term extension of most of the sequestration measures, and then major tax legislation in 2013. Taxes as a percentage of GDP will rise and the Bush tax cuts will likely expire.
"We can expect policy-related volatility in the US market until the resolution of this issue. However, a resolution of the fiscal cliff in the Lame Duck session of Congress between now and January could lead to a sharp rally."
To hedge the risk of unanticipated inflation, commodities and real assets should form part of every investor's portfolio for whom inflation concerns eclipse the need for nominal returns, says Lacaille. "We advocate at least a 5% holding. If the global economy and particularly China reaccelerates in 2013, we would expect commodities to rally.
On inflation, he says: "Given the large output gaps in the US and Europe, we do not believe that inflation is likely to accelerate sharply in 2013. However, we advocate that investors hold roughly 15% of their portfolios in a basket of unanticipated hedges: commodities, REITS, inflation-linked bonds and natural resources stocks.
Lacaille says the Japanese economy continues to experience deflation and return on equity among Japanese companies is well below that of other regions. Deteriorating relations with China could also negatively impact Japanese earnings in 2013. While we remain cautious on Japan we believe that investors should hold a strategic allocation.
In today's environment, the key challenge for investment managers is achieving positive absolute return. Lacaille says: "The question facing investors and their advisors should not be whether to invest actively or passively but, rather, which instruments will achieve their portfolio's total return target.
"Although it is often said that areas of financial markets where information is scarce and securities valuation is less well researched offer superior return potential, the evidence across all managers is less convincing and it remains a challenge to forecast manager performance.
"However, behavioural anomalies such as loss aversion and the value effect fluctuate in their intensity, and areas of the world about which investors take extreme views - such as the periphery of Europe and China - may offer potential for discplined bargain hunters."

So there is this Stranger mission in Red Dead Redemption.
You encounter a woman crying in a church outside of Blackwater. As a noble outlaw, you customarily go forth and ask her well-being.
The woman is pregnant with a rather big belly, seems like a baby for 6 or 7 months now. As a hero of the wild west, or you claim yourself to be, none other than killing innocents or criminals, you are concerned with this woman's problems.
The woman claims that she's kicked out of her previous employer's house as a nanny because she had an affair with the host. She's penniless and a baby is about to be born. She asks you for your help to talk down the host who's wasting himself on alcohol and "let" him give some money to her so that she can settle down with her unborn baby and herself.
You are very sympathized with this woman so you head into Blackwater and confront the heartless man who abandoned his mistress.
The man's named Harold, and while lavishing himself on the liquor, he claims he knows no such person as Clara, the woman who sought your help.
Nonetheless, your accusation made the man angry, and he proposes a duel with you. Both of you go out to the street and start the duel.
Undoubtedly, it's you the winner of the duel, a noble outlaw you are.
You pick up the money from the dead man and go back to Clara. She is very grateful with your godsend $200. She asks about Harold's well-being, and after hearing the misfortune, she tells you that she needs to see him in his funeral. Then she left.
As a noble outlaw you are, you feel quite heroic after you done such a chivalrous act.
A few days later, you come back to the church outside of Blackwater to see Clara and the man's funeral. However, you don't see Clara at all but Harold's widow wife.
She tells you how miserable she is and may God bring peace to the poor soul of her husband's. But she also mentions that a young woman laughs hysterically on the funeral. She says "Why a stranger like Clara can be this cruel?" And after the brief conversation, you complete the Stranger mission.
This mission at first glance seems nothing more than the ordinary hero saving innocent girl quest.
But, on a second thought. Something is not right.
This is the wild wild west. Rockstar has put up all their effort to paint a world with no definite laws, and no absolute justice. This world is deceiving, seductive and never being the ordinary parallel.
John Marston, a man that seems to do all the vigilante justice, is merely a murderer of hundreds of innocent deaths. He himself also witnessed many unjust consequences for the people in the wild west.
Some trees flourish, others die. Some cattle grow strong, others are taken by wolves. Some men are born rich enough and dumb enough to enjoy their lives. Ain't nothing fair.
This leads to our ultimate revelation of this incident.
The woman Clara was cheating at the first place. If anything from the widow of Harold said is true, then Clara could be just a stranger who sought the household's fortune. Or the other possibility is that Clara was just a mistress of the man, and she was not a nanny at all. She did not know the house very well but the husband, and she might, or might not be impregnated by Harold. Because she's poor, and she took advantage of our noble outlaw.
So at the end of the day, John Marston yet again did another stupid errand for some nobody.
But this, is why I call Red Dead Redemption great.


Leading sport and exercise scientists have created a starting guide for cities and regions that want to map physical activity levels among their populations. Academics from Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU) produced the infographic (below) to help public services save time and money by planning effective research before embarking on expensive projects to promote physical activity and healthy behaviours.
Previous research by Sport England has demonstrated that, for example, an adult aged 30-49 who takes up swimming once a week reduces their lifetime healthcare costs by £3,768 (€4,252). The PAEx produced its guide following a week-long workshop attended by urban leaders whose home cities are trying to achieve Global Active City status.
The AWI-approved workshop was partly-financed by the Global Challenge Research Fund. Officials from Buenos Aires, Argentina; Karsiyaka, Turkey; and Lausanne, Switzerland received in-depth advice and individual mentoring on how to develop skills in physical activity assessment. There were field trips to a local school taking part in a research programme which could help to redesign physical literacy education in the UK; Everton Football Club's Everton in the Community organisation; and The Mersey Forest.
LJMU's School of Sport and Exercise Sciences, where the PAEx is based, has a world-leading reputation for the assessment and evaluation of physical activity and health. It was the first institution in the world to offer a single honours programme in sports science and is a development partner of the AWI and Global Active City programme.
To discover some of the best ways for authorities to monitor and evaluate physical activity, view the infographic in PDF form, or for more detail see the introductory presentation from the workshop. Further support on physical activity evaluation is available from the PAEx in the form of group training sessions or bespoke packages – email Lynne Boddy. To find out more about the Global Active City programme, email the Active Well-being Initiative.

KINGSTON – A Kingston woman was arrested on Friday on felony charges of welfare fraud and three counts of offering a false instrument for filing.
An investigation by the Ulster County Department of Social Services and District Attorney's Office found that Marie Mullings, 28, allegedly did not report her correct household composition and income to DSS from August 2016 to April 2018. She filed several SNAP (food stamp) applications during that time period, not disclosing her income, resulting in her receiving $6,901 in SNAP benefits to which she was not entitled.
Mullings was issued an appearance ticket to appear in Ulster Town Court.

Pushing Daisies: A Tiny Taste of the TV Show's Finale
by Trevor Kimball, January 12, 2009
As devoted fans know, ABC cancelled Pushing Daisies in November after two short seasons. Despite passionate pleas and campaigns there's been no word of a reprise. Series creator Bryan Fuller has moved over to NBC's Heroes to hopefully pull it out of its current creative slump. In fact, he's already created a guest role for Daisies' Swoosie Kurtz on the NBC series.
There are still three episodes of Daisies left to air and, unfortunately, there's been no word on when we'll get to see them. It looked like one would air last week but ABC replaced it with reruns of the previous night's episodes of Scrubs.
The network still hasn't found a spot for the three installments on their schedule. There's word that ABC is contractually obligated to run them at some point and that they may be aired all on one night. As more time passes, it doesn't seem at all that unlikely that ABC may burn them off on a Saturday night.
Will ABC finally air the last three episodes?
Yes! They have to!
I hope so but have my doubts.
No! Are you kidding?
Titled "Kerplunk," the Daisies series finale will center around the murder of one half of a synchronized swimming team, competitors of the Darling Mermaid Darlings. The episode will supposedly give us a bit of closure for the series but will also have fans itching for more. Fuller has said that he wants to continue the show's story in movie and/or comic book form. With Fuller busy on Heroes, it doesn't seem like there's been any progress on either possibility.
Fuller has had time to share a very small taste from the finale with The Pie Maker site. Though the image is visually enticing, it only leaves us craving more. Let's hope that ABC gives fans a break and serves the "full meal" soon.

Fans of "Pushing Daisies" now have a date when they can see the final episodes of the series
Mark J. Wallin, Ph.D.
Ok, I finally figured it out. The networks don't want anything good to be on too long as it might detract from their cheap garbage designed to hypnotise the masses of mindless sheep. Good acting, good writing, imagination – that's all too expensive and probably over the heads of the average joe sixpack, who would rather be staring at some bimbo's boobs than actually putting their brain into gear.
Why cancel another great show only to show reruns or reality shows? Is this what our future holds? Pushing Daisies has great writing and a talented cast only to be shut out by reruns of Lost? Give me a break ABC. Look at your audience and stop taking great shows off of the air! Keep Pushing Daisies. This is one of the few shows that my whole family, adults and kids, can watch together.
PD Fan
I hope this is not the end.. we all need more of Pushing Daisies.. I have to agree the others that I do not understand, why such a good serie has to be cancelled.. I wait for more…
YCY
I think they should quit giving the repeats of lost on Wendsdays at 8pm with the so obvious pop up that only explain what everyone that has watched already knows. If they would do that for at least 3 weeks they could delight all us Pusing Daisies fans with the final episodes and we can feel a little closure.
ABC just doesn't care about their viewers. That's the bottom line.
Sashlyn
I am so pissed thatb abc is cancelling Pushing Daisies!! I love this show it's on the DVR so i never miss and episode! WHY do these networks cancel the good shows? KEEP PUSHING DAISIES ON THE AIR!! or some other network buy it from abc they can't handle the show anyway someone else can take it on! and keep the same name the "up" is stupied!
TV Dinner Time: It's not pie I smell « d2tv

I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!! ITS DIFFERENT, ITS CORKY AND ITS FUNNY. WE DONT HAVE TOO MANY SHOW OUT THERE THAT IS SO DIFFERENT AND UNIQUE. I WISH ABC WOULD RECONSIDER TAKING THIS SHOW OFF THE AIR. AND ANOTHER THING I LIKED THE NAME "PUSHING UP DAISIES" BETTER! IT MAKES MORE SENSE TO HAVE THE UP IN THERE.

After a bit of a chronic officejob-itis induced hiatus, I am returning to photography and looking to expand and refresh my portfolio. My interests are currently stark and interesting fashion though I'll always have a soft spot for fine art nudes (affectionately referred to as "chicks on rocks").
If you're interested in shooting, drop me a line. I work on a TFP/CD basis and I'd like to think I'm pretty good at turning the images around reasonably quickly!
Models are of course permitted to bring a chaperone (They make great reflector holders!). If you're uncomfortable signing a release please let me know before we confirm a shoot.
Worked with Jessica Tesla? Share your experience and become verified!
I really love your portfolio, and would love to work with you sometime if you are interested?
Beautiful portfolio. I would love to have the chance to be one of your subjects in the future!

Home Culture & Society Prestigious Diego Ramirez Pastor award presented to Age Concern
Prestigious Diego Ramirez Pastor award presented to Age Concern
Keith Nicol
It was glittering night of who's who at the Salones Bahia Costa on Tuesday December 7th, as many of Torrevieja's best-known faces turned up in force to celebrate the 39th edition of the Diego Ramirez Pastor awards.
Originally this was just an idea put forward by Diego Ramirez Pastor to encourage Torrevieja's born and bred, who had moved away, to make an effort to return to the city to celebrate the 'puente' day, December 7th, the eve of Torrevieja Patron Saint Purisima's day. Years later, his family and the Town Hall made it an official event on the town's calendar to give an award to someone local for their contributions to the town. The event broadened its horizons a few years back by giving two awards, one to an individual and another to a local group, association or charity, for their work in the community.
This year, the jury awarded the prize to Eduardo Gil Soto, president of the Virgen del Rosario Brotherhood and the NGO Age Concert, which was established in 1998. Eduardo Gil Soto is one of Torrevieja's elder statesmen, with family in local government and high places around the city. His passion over the years has been to help build up the community of La Mata into a thriving township, a suburb of Torrevieja which residents can feel proud to belong to. La Mata now boasts Torrevieja's largest and finest beach, is reclaiming its famous sand dunes, producing local wine and building its own social centres, libraries and other facilities; many of these initiatives from Snr. Soto.
Age Concern has been helping the 'third age' in the region, not just in Torrevieja but from Southern Alicante to Pilar de la Horadada and beyond, with support and advice. They have opened charity shops, run their own community centre, lending library and drop in centre to help one and all and have been one of the major charity associations working hand-in-hand with other groups such as AFA to make life easier for those that have made Torrevieja their home.
Among those voicing their support to Age Concern, included Torrevieja's mayor Pedro Hernández Mateo, Councillor for Foreigners and Technology Pedro Valero and British Consulate from Alicante, Janine Lamont while Age Concerns President Maureen Payne both accepted the award and gave her speech in Spanish to all the guests.
British Council, Srn Soto, Torrevieja's Mayor, Age Concern with special cake Pedro Valero with British Council Maureen Payne, President Age Concern and Eduardo Dolon, Councilor for Culture and Fiestas Mayor, Snr Soto, Maureen Payne, Eduardo Dolon British Council, members of Age Concern, Pedro Valero and Graham Knight from the Town Hall
Age concern has about 90 volunteers who provide help to over 300 elderly people in the community and furthermore, they are collaborating actively with the Alzheimer sufferers' Association AFA TORREVIEJA, with the backing of the City Departments for Social Welfare and Foreigners' Affairs in Torrevieja. Congratulations to both Eduardo Gil and Soto and Age Concern for helping to make Torrevieja a better place to live in.

Pastor Who Advocated Spousal Rape Quits Seventh-Day Adventist Church
Days after a video surfaced of a controversial sermon during which Bronx pastor Dr. Burnett L. Robinson seemed to advocate for spousal rape, the Seventh-Day Adventist Church has stripped him of his title permanently.
Robinson made his controversial remarks during a Nov. 13 sermon which was shared to YouTube on Nov. 22. He was expounding on the idea that wives should "submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord," as the apostle Paul wrote in his Letter to the Ephesians.
"In this matter of submission, I want you to know upfront, ladies, that once you get married, you are no longer your own," Robinson said to his congregation. "You are your husband's. You understand what I'm saying? I emphasize that because I saw in court the other day on TV where a lady sued her husband for rape. And I would say to you, gentlemen, the best person to rape is your wife. But then it has become legalized."
According to Religious News, Robinson, who presided over Grand Concourse Seventh-Day Adventist Church and its 977 congregants for nine years, was placed on administrative leave by the Greater New York Conference of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church less than 24 hours after the video surfaced.
By Nov. 24, Robinson had resigned.
"The Greater New York Conference of Seventh-day Adventists recognizes many have been deeply harmed by the sentiments expressed by Robinson," the organization said in a statement posted to its website. "The views he expressed are wrong and not accepted by our church. Rape and sexual assault of women are crimes and should always be treated as such. We will continue to educate and counsel all pastors, seminary students, and staff to fully understand that this type of rhetoric is abhorrent and unequivocally unacceptable."
The Church's communications consultant, Kevin Lampe, says that Robinson has been stripped of his title and will not be able to serve at another Seventh-Day Adventist Church.

The Popularity of The Stay at Home Dad
by Bill / Saturday, 02 March 2013 / Published in General, International
Stay-at-home dads have been seen in increasing numbers in Western culture, especially in Canada, the UK and the United States since the late 20th century. In developed East Asian nations such as Japan and South Korea, this practice is less common.
There are several reasons why some families feel that it would be more beneficial for the father to be the primary caregiver while the mother works outside of the home. The decision to use a stay-at-home dad arrangement is most commonly due to economic reasons. There has been a disappearance of the types of white-collar jobs that men have traditionally filled. Many middle-aged men have become essentially unemployable, thereby causing a role reversal for economic reasons. At the same time, women are progressing into higher-paying jobs. There are now financial ramifications in deciding whether the mother or father should become the stay-at-home parent. In cases where the woman is the higher-paid parent, it makes more economic sense for her to continue to work while the man takes on the caregiver role. At times the mother's job offers health benefits for the family whereas the father's does not.
With the growth of telecommuting, many men are also able to work from home. In this regard, he is contributing financially to the family while also acting as the primary caregiver of the family's children. Differences in parent's schedules can also account for some of the stay-at-home dads. Sometimes the father works odd work shifts while the mother has a typical nine-to-five work schedule.
Fixed gender roles began to become less prominent in the Western world starting in the late 20th century, allowing men to make their own choice of career without regard to traditional gender-based roles. Some men who choose this role may do so because they enjoy being an active part of their children's lives, while in other families, the mother wants to pursue her career. For example, of the 187 participants at Fortune Magazine's Most Powerful Women in the Business Summit, one third of the women's husbands were stay-at-home dads. Families vary widely in terms of how household chores are divided. Some retired males who marry a younger woman decide to become stay-at-home dads while their wives work because they want a "second chance" to watch a child grow up in a second or third marriage. Additionally, more career and lifestyle options are accepted and prevalent in Western society. There are also fewer restrictions on what constitutes a family.

5 Myths About Stay-At-Home Dads

The human race faces all different kinds of threats every day. Disease, nuclear warfare, and global warming are a few that come to mind. Humanity has to constantly think of new ways to deal with these problems. The biggest threat to humanity actually comes from something that seems to be good, but it is manipulated and used for evil. It has the power to end the world. Religion is the biggest problem with the world today; there is, of course, a way it could be solved ideally that would please all, but this is just the dream of an idealist because the realist would not be so sensitive and naive and would face the problem and take it down.
Even back in biblical time's religion has been used to create evil in the world. Religion is supposed to teach tolerance, love, and respect, but almost every religion has been corrupted in some way at some point in time. The Jews were slaves in Egypt, the Romans killed Jesus Christ because of his religious beliefs, and the Hindus created a caste system that ruined people's lives. Religion brings out the worst and the best in people. It creates a sense of unity between a group of people, but when the unity of the people becomes a group of people who hate then there lays the problem. Looking back in history it seems it is human nature to be superior to other humans.
Slavery, war, and corruption in government all show how humans try to become superior within their own race. Religion is the perfect excuse to make bad actions look good. If something is done in the name of God often the naive and ignorant people in the world automatically assume it must be a good thing. The crusades were done in the name of god and looking back on them they were just the Roman Catholic Church exerting its power; people preach that we must be tolerant of terrorist bombers and understand they're the point of view because they commit their actions in the name of god. There are endless examples of religious fanatics twisting the words of their holy scriptures and actually convincing the world of their legitimacy when in fact they are all just out for power.
Ideally, this problem can be solved very easily. If every person in the world stopped doing what they think their religion tells them to do and instead does what is morally right then there will no longer be this problem of feuding religions. If instead of teaching in Palestinian schools that the children should grow up to be suicide bombers, they instead teach to be tolerant of all different ethnicities and religions then the whole Palestine/Israel conflict could ideally be solved by sitting down and talking. If in India the caste system could have been abolished from the start of the Hindu religion then there wouldn't have been the hundreds of problems that were caused by that system. The ideal solution to all these problems is for everyone to get together and talk about there differences instead of waging war on each other. Ideally, the problem of religion could be solved without any bloodshed and ending with everyone happy. This solution seems so nice and lovely for the world but it is of course not realistic at all.
It is the nature of human beings to be greedy and to take what they can to advance themselves in the world. The basic idea of religion is to give stability and understand to people. It explains the unknown. Every religion does the same thing, but its when religion is taken to a level where it controls one's life and makes one do things he would not do if he was thinking logically that is when religion becomes dangerous. Realistically the problem of religion can be solved in a harsh but simple way. People who decide to use religion to instill hatred and evil into the minds of other humans have to be found and captured and sealed away from the rest of humanity. People like Sadaam Hussein, Osama Bin Ladin, and Fidel Castro. Each one is dangerous to the survival of the human race. If things continue to go the way they are then eventually there will be a huge world war raged involving every religion and the whole human race could be wiped out.
That is why religion is so dangerous. It has the power to control people's minds and end people's lives. Religion is the only thing that has the power to do this. Many people, when faced with this realistic solution to the problem of religion, would say that it is anti-American because it is against free speech. Many people will say that it is mean spirited and that we must understand the point of views of terrorists who blow up buildings. These people who say this are idealists and if people continue to follow this idealist point of view then the problem will never be solved. The people committing the horrendous acts against humanity and using god as their excuse must be found and taken out of human contact so that they can do no harm. Every religion has groups of fanatics and each group is just as dangerous as the next. Recently it has been the Muslim fanatics that have been causing problems, but in the past, every religion has caused problems. They must be taken out before they can do any more harm.
The idealist believes that everyone should love each other and there should be not hated in the world. This is not possible. Although every person would love this to happen only the naive and ignorant can possibly follow this. Action must be taken to end the corruption of religion. But what would happen if religion was taken from the world totally? Complete and total chaos would rule the world because no one would have anywhere to turn. The religion of course has its functions and it could never be abolished from the world because that would be madness. Perhaps there is a way of keeping the positive aspects of religion while eliminating the negatives. The day the person comes up with the solution to this problem is the day the world will be saved from the menace of religion.

THREE days, more than 50 shows, countless parties and lots - and lots - of very handsome boys, as well as some quite serious hangovers. The fourth season of London Collections: Men this week couldn't have gone better, according to its chairman Dylan Jones.
"In previous seasons we had a tent pole of a personality to head it up - from the Prince of Wales to David Cameron to Boris Johnson," he says. "This season we wanted to take a step back and see if it ran with its own momentum, and it really was the best season ever: great buyers, great press, fantastic parties."
The event was widely praised for being slick, efficient and timely - not adjectives usually associated with Fashion Weeks more commonly beset with complaints about late-running shows, impossible-to-find venues and uncomfortably packed schedules. "We were inviting people to an event they'd never been asked to consider before, so we had to make it fun, as well as making good business sense to designers and all the ancillary people - car companies, productions companies, make-up artists, models," says Jones, who himself admits to feeling a little jaded after leading the celebrations in typical GQ, no-holding-back style.
The real game changer was Burberry joining the schedule during the third season - joining Tom Ford and McQueen who'd already been reeled back to show in London - creating an unmissable schedule. Because, says Jones, "missing a Burberry show just isn't done. But it's not just about having it here, it's about the scale and ambition of what they've done with the show - it's as good as any show that you'd see anywhere in the world."
Menswear's natural home has been London since the bowler hats and pinstripes of Savile Row, and it seems that its reputation is only going to get better from here. "The difficult season was the second one," says Jones. "There is always that worry that, rather like raising money for charity, people will feel 'I've done that - I've given.' But this week has proved that we exist now. We've been proud of every season, but this one felt like we're really going strong. Of course there are problems - there is the discussion about dates coinciding with Pitti, but it's not an insurmountable problem, it's certainly one we can fix."
"Everyone really stepped up this season, from Lou Dalton to Katie Eary to Rake and Richard James - and there was a sense of competition, which was brilliant. The combination of the iconic tailoring of Savile Row and Jermyn Street, with the big international brands like Paul Smith, Burberry and McQueen, and the emerging Newgen and MAN talent is what's so great. London has always had this sense of tradition and rebellion, which is what you don't get anywhere else, and we excel at both of them. That's the DNA of LC:M: the incredible mix, and the great parties, obviously."

A product liability lawsuit has been filed against Pfizer, by parents whose child was born with severe heart defects after Zoloft use by the mother during pregnancy. The parents allege that the drug maker failed to adequately warn consumers or the medical community about the potential side effects of the antidepressant on unborn children.
The complaint was filed by Jade and Jason Byington on July 13, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.
Zoloft (sertraline) is one of the most widely prescribed medications in the United States. Zoloft was introduced by Pfizer in 1991. Zoloft is commonly used for treatment of depression, obsessive compulsive disorder and anxiety.
Zoloft use during pregnancy has been linked to a risk of several types of birth defects and malformations.
At least 137 similar Zoloft lawsuits have already been filed in U.S. District Courts throughout the United States on behalf of children who suffer health problems that were allegedly caused by their mother's use of the antidepressant during pregnancy.
The Byington complaint will soon be transferred to the Eastern District of Pennsylvania,where it will be consolidated with other federal lawsuits over birth defects from Zoloft that are centralized for pretrial proceedings as part of an MDL, or multidistrict litigation.
The family alleges that side effects of Zoloft caused the child to develop heart malformations, including an atrial septal defect, ventricular septal defect and coarctation of the aorta.
In addition to heart defects, there has been a link between Zoloft and pregnancy use increasing the risk of children developing a number of different problems, including skull malformation, neural tube defects, abdominal defects, spina bifida and PPHN (persistent pulmonary hypertension in newborns), according to lawsuits.
Many of these birth defects and malformation can develop if the medication is used during the first trimester, which is a time when many women do not even realize they are pregnant.
