State Considers Sex Ed For Kindergarteners

Bill would require “comprehensive sex education” for all public school students

“WHEREAS, it is a critical responsibility of this Commonwealth to promote the well-being of Kentucky students; NOW, THEREFORE, Be it enacted … : each school district shall provide comprehensive sex education to all public school students in kindergarten through grade twelve.”

Jan 30, 2020

WJW – Lawmakers will consider legislation this session that would bring sex education to Kentucky kindergarteners.

House Bill 296 does include an opt out for parents and would also allow them to look at the curriculum before their child participates.

The bill was introduced by State Rep. Lisa Willner, (D) Louisville. It has 13 sponsors. Willner said to WLWT:

“The bill is as much about social, emotional and mental health education as it is about sex ed, and would focus on healthy relationships, consent, critical thinking, responsible decision-making and acceptance of differences. With Kentucky among the worst states for unintended adolescent pregnancies, teen dating violence and teen sexual assault, and with bullying a growing concern, the need for this bill is clear.” Read more.

  • The bill would protect children beginning in kindergarten in their “gender expression”and “gender identity.”
  • The bill would require a sex ed  curriculum that is “Inclusive,” and “ensures that students from historically marginalized communities see themselves reflected in classroom materials.”
  • The bill would require sex ed to go beyond anatomy and biology, “clarifying values and attitudes.”
  • The bill would require that children be given “Information about local health services where students can obtain additional information and services related to sexual and reproductive health and other related care” – i.e., Planned Parenthood (see below).
  • A parent would be permitted to request that their child opt out, however “a school is encouraged to provide that student an alternate assignment on a related topic during the instructional time.”

Planned Parenthood Details ‘Priority Legislation’

Jan 9, 2020

SpectrumNews1, FRANKFORT, Ky. — Planned Parenthood Advocates of Kentucky (PPAIK) has laid out which legislation they hope to gain Gov. Andy Beshear’s signature during the 2020 General Assembly session.

The first measure the organization is behind is yet to be filed legislation that would require comprehensive sexual education in all public schools.

Louisville Democrat Lisa Willner plans to sponsor the legislation and believes it’s something that can gain bipartisanship.

Willner said:

“Comprehensive sex-ed is truly the most pro-life legislation we could propose, it ought to have strong bipartisan support and we already know it has very strong public support. I want to be really clear what comprehensive sexual education is, medically accurate, age-appropriate, inclusive sex ed is not just about sex. Comprehensive sex ed provides social and emotional tools for safe and healthy relationships.”

Another piece of legislation the organization is pushing is allowing women to obtain up to 12 months of birth control at a time. Rep. Chris Harris, D-Forest Hills, proposed similar legislation two years ago but it did not pass. 19 other states allow a year prescription of birth control.

Tamarra Weider, the public affairs and policy director for PPAIK, believes both of these measures could pass with support from pro-life lawmakers … Read more.

I have a thyroid nodule. Does that mean I have cancer?

Thyroid nodules are very common. In fact, they are found in about 50%-70% of the population. Fortunately, the vast majority are benign (95%) and non-bothersome. To evaluate whether your nodule is cancer, we frequently perform a Fine-Needle Aspiration (FNA) biopsy. In general, FNA's are well tolerated and very accurate.

My FNA came back as a follicular lesion or indeterminate. What does that mean?

When we FNA a nodule there are essentially three results we can get. The nodule may be 1) benign, 2) malignant (cancer) or 3) indeterminate. Indeterminate findings can occur for a variety of reasons, but the most common reason is that follicular tumors can be difficult to diagnose with FNA biopsy. The overall risk of cancer is usually around 20% in these cases. Historically, the recommended treatment for these findings is surgical removal to allow for diagnosis; however, recently the option of gene expression profiling has emerged as an option to give additional information about the risk of malignancy.

What is "gene expression" testing?

When you have a thyroid nodule with an indeterminate FNA, the most common recommendation is for surgical removal to facilitate a diagnosis. Gene expression testing is a new technology that provides additional information on the nodule based on its DNA and RNA fingerprint. This allows us to better quantitate the risk that the nodule is cancer, and can help us weigh the risks vs. benefits of surgery.

I have a multinodular goiter. What does that mean?

“Goiter” simply means that you have a big thyroid. Multinodular means that your goiter is composed of many thyroid nodules. Most multinodular goiters are benign, but when they get big enough, they may cause symptoms. The most frequent symptoms are problems breathing (especially when lying flat), difficulty swallowing, or hoarseness.

What is minimally invasive surgery?

Minimally invasive surgery for the thyroid strives to minimize the size of the incision to facilitate faster healing and improved cosmesis. Some thyroid surgeries can be performed through an incision that is approximately 3 cm (1-inch).

I have Graves' disease. Is surgery right for me?

Graves' disease is an autoimmune disease where the body makes antibodies that stimulate production of thyroid hormone. There are three treatment options for patients with Graves' disease, including taking a medication (such as methimazole), radioactive iodine or surgery. All these treatments have benefits and drawbacks, but surgery is an option for patients with Graves' disease.

I have a newly diagnosed thyroid cancer. What are my treatment options?

There are four types of thyroid cancer, but in general most people diagnosed with thyroid cancer have papillary thyroid cancer or follicular thyroid cancer. These are called differentiated thyroid cancer. The treatment of differentiated thyroid cancer involves three parts.

The cornerstone of treatment for differentiated thyroid cancer is surgery. Depending on your tumor, either half of the thyroid will be removed (also called a “lobectomy”) or the whole thyroid will be removed.  In addition to surgery, some patients will require radioactive iodine treatment to lower the chance of the thyroid cancer returning. Finally, after surgery, many patients will need a thyroid supplement (ie synthetic thyroid hormone) to keep your brain from stimulating growth of any thyroid cancer cells. This is called thyroid suppression therapy. All patients who have had their whole thyroid removed, and some patients who have had half of their thyroid removed will require thyroid suppression therapy.

I have a newly diagnosed papillary thyroid cancer. What is my prognosis?

Overall, patients with papillary thyroid cancer have a very good prognosis. Thyroid cancer can recur in the neck lymph nodes even years after your operation. These lymph node recurrences may require an additional surgery to remove them. This is called a neck dissection. Regular follow-up with your physicians is important for patients with thyroid cancer, in order to monitor for a recurrence. This is monitored with regular blood tests and neck ultrasound.

Can I have my thyroid removed without having a scar on my neck?

Yes! There are multiple new techniques that have emerged to allow surgeons to remove all or part of your thyroid gland. Our surgeons have special training in one of the newest and most popular techniques, which involves removing the thyroid through the inside of your lip and/or through an incision hidden just under your chin. At your consultation, you and your surgeon will discuss whether you may be a candidate for this procedure.

Affordable, All Natural Beauty Tips Bring Out The Best In You

Here are a few tips to help you with your beauty regimen. With proper information, you can start looking just like professional beauticians. Keep reading for some useful ideas you can use to get a better appearance.

Fill an empty pot or a tiny jar with the moisturizer of your choice. This little container fits everywhere, like your work desk drawer, your handbag or an overnight bag. You can use a quick dab of it to counteract feelings of dryness as soon as they occur.

Rub your feet with Vaseline before going to bed. You can get the same smooth, soft results of a professional pedicure this way. Do this every night as part of your routine, and it will be easy to remember. To avoid staining your sheets, put socks on right after applying Vaseline.

Exfoliate to remove the dead skin cells from your face. Sensitive skin should be exfoliated about once or twice a week. If you skip this vital step you are passing on a very important step that can really help your complexion glow. This will give your face a fresh, radiant glow and will prevent your pores from becoming blocked by oils and dead skin cells.

Make sure you have Vitamin E around. It can serve many different purposes. Vitamin E is great for keeping skin soft and supple. Vitamin E can also be used on your cuticles to keep them from splitting and feeling rough.

Make sure to use heat-activated shampoo, conditioner and styling product when using heated tool, such as a curling or straight iron. Heated hair appliances used on a daily basis can damage your hair, if you don’t take the proper precautions. Heat-activated products are properly formulated to help your hair stand up to heat treatments, and they improve the texture and shine of your hair, too.

Always curl your eyelashes using an eyelash curler prior to the application of mascara. This increases their perceived length and brightens your eyes. Place the eyelash curler pads near the base of the lashes and squeeze the pads together. Pause and hold for a few seconds, then release. Once you’ve done that, move along your lashes and repeat the squeezing motion. This technique will give your lashes a soft curve instead of a sharp angle.

Only apply shimmer where light may enhance it. This will give you a subtle glow. Highlighter should be used on the upper planes of the face like cheekbones, brows and nose.

If your skin is not flawless, use matte blush. Shimmer blushes can highlight any imperfection. Matte blushes, on the other hand, can camouflage blemishes, helping to give you the look of radiant, flawless skin.

The accumulated foundation under the cap of your bottle makes a great concealer. When you are out of regular concealer, the collected foundation in the cap serves as a great replacement. It is the perfect concealer because it already matches your skin tone and is thick.

As you can see, learning about beauty products and techniques that work well for you isn’t as difficult as it may appear. It’s important to consistently put in the effort, though. When you use your knowledge, you’ll be successful.

Wk 6 run 3 - taadaa! Laura says I'm really a runner :D

I've been calling myself a runner from week 1, but it is now official. Thank you Laura!

Thanks to Fingalo's post about going out to run at 5am (no way), I made myself go out, despite really not feeling like it at all, and being rather unsure whether I could keep going for 25 minutes non-stop. But the programme usually works, so...

As in other recent runs, from about minute 7 to 10 I was thinking it was all too much, but kept going as I presumed it would get better eventually. Then Laura asked how I'm feeling - my response: "Who cares - just tell me how much I've done", and then she told me and I waved my arms and yelled 'I love you, Laura!' as I'd been going longer than I'd thought. Luckily I was on the outskirts of the village, with nobody around.

The rest was fine, although I hadn't calculated on the High School turning out just as I got back into the village. Loads of cars and buses, and pavements teeming with teenagers. So running in the road was out, and running on the pavement was out. I could have turned round and run back out of the village, but it would have meant a much longer cooldown walk. So I ended up running the last five minutes on a snowy verge, having to pick my feet up - and moving faster, albeit not much faster, than the teenagers were walking.

No rude comments either - though I'm probably so uncool as to be invisible.

So I am now feeling rather pleased with myself, and much chirpier than I was an hour ago. And it is snowing again. The Fieldfare isn't particularly relevant to the run, though I did see one sitting by the road. :)

Yippeeee! You are a runner! True, you were a runner from day 1, but its a treat to hear Laura say those words, in your ears. :-) Well done!! Gayle

Thanks Gayle! It's lovely to think of someone so far away smiling for me!

Heck!!!!! Not only smiling...doing a happy dance!!!!! :-) :-) :-)

greenlegsGraduate in reply to gdeann

Now don't you go overdoing it and fall over! :)

Fair play to you Greeners!

Damn you too, I was hoping to catch up one run on you!

I have to say, you're much more adaptable than I am, you seem to be capable of running on every surface known to man. Or woman, for that matter.

All being well, I'll be hearing those words of Laura's next Monday, something I'm looking forward to.

Well, I did consider not running, to let you catch up, because it would be quite nice to have someone else on the same day, but decided that was really a rather lame excuse for not going out.

I've just looked at week 7 - and found it's 'just' three repeats of today - it will be interesting to see how similar or different they turn out to be.

Ha ha! I'd have told you off if you'd not gone out though!

It's amazing how this thing works though I've gone from terrified of W5, R3 to looking forward to the 25 minuters! As you say, it will be interesting comparing them. So far I haven't found much difference in similar runs so doing four of the same on the trot will be interesting.

Brilliant! In 6 shorts weeks you are more than an official runner you are ratified by the inimitable laura! Well done. Tricia x

:) The amazing bit is that 25 minutes seemed much easier than the 20 minutes of just over a week ago.

The mind catching up with the body.

Well done Greenlegs. Keep at it - graduation is in sight! :-)

Wooohooooo!! Congrats!

High school kids eh!

Damn their smooth skin and hair!!.....Lol

All the best

Thanks, everyone.

Just worked out my speed (lack of) out of curiosity - I knew it was low, because of the snow and having to hop on and off the pavement/road, so I'm not bothered at all, but thought it might cheer someone else up! I couldn't do it earlier as my garmin thing was having a hissy fit and refused to turn on or off (it was in a sort of limbo), but new batteries have sorted it.

Average speed 5kph / 3.3mph (ie it would take a whole hour to do 5k, obviously) - not even a fast walking pace! Also - slower than my week 1 runs, and slower than when I walked a 5k fun run!

However, I covered 2.2km (1.3 miles) in 25 minutes. Which is the furthest I've ever run in my life, so that will do me just fine. :)

Yey! I'm so chuffed for you! Well done, I'm so jealous, I should be celebrating run 3 with you buy my knee is awful, I'm.so sad! But reading that you did it has cheered me up!

greenlegsGraduate in reply to katywoo

Really sorry about your knee - it would have been good to have someone else on the same bit. It's very generous of you to say that reading this cheered you up though. That makes me feel even better about it.

well done, congratulations! You rock! And don't worry about the speed, safety is top of the list in this weather and it's not a race, it's about your personal achievments. Furthest you've run and the longest you've run for. I shall raise two toasts to you tonight! :-D

Absolutely lovely post! Well done.....graduation beckons. :)

Thanks vixie and jeddah. I booked myself in for a Race for Life 5k last night - not until June, so I'm hoping I'll be able to run all the way by then, even if it does take ages - but as lots of people walk them, I won't be left at the tail end like on a parkrun. It should give me something good to aim for after graduation (see, I'm assuming I'm going to get there now, barring injury!).

Well done you, I must admit if it wasnt for Laura giving me encouragement this new regime would be less enjoyable; I do think about what people must think when they see me, believe me I have judged runners badly for not going faster than I can walk, but now I empathise with them - strange how life goes........

Thanks for your messages of encouragement to me it all means alot that I am not alone :)

Just seen this - woo hoo! Enjoy your 25 minute runs - I found that after the 20 minutes, they weren't too bad, because it was only just a little bit further. You're nearly there :)

7 Signs of a Torn Meniscus

Your knee has two menisci. The menisci are cartilage shaped in a C-shape. They act like cushions between your thigh bone and shinbone. A torn meniscus is an injury to your knee. This is a common type of knee injury that occurs when your knee rotates or twists when putting your full weight on it. The twist or rotation occurs because of a sudden stop or aggressive pivot in another direction. Your meniscus can tear even if you kneel, squat or lifting something heavy. If you are an older adult, degenerative changes in your knee can contribute to a torn meniscus without trauma to the knee.

 1. Pain

When something is wrong in your body, your nervous system will send a response to your brain. This response is called a pain signal, or an unpleasant feeling. This unpleasant feeling ranges from prick, sting, ache or tingle to burning. You may experience this unpleasant feeling in any area of your body including your abdomen, back, chest or pelvis. You may feel this pain throughout your body..

The cause of your pain depends on the underlying cause. This underlying cause may inflammation, disease or injury. It may be acute or chronic. Acute means the unpleasant feeling occurs for a short amount time. Chronic means the unpleasant feeling occurs for a long period of time and cause severe problems. This symptom is subjective. This means that you have to explain the amount of unpleasant feeling you are experiencing to explain your torn meniscus. It can go away without treatment. If it cannot, treatment may be relieved by medicines, physical therapy or surgery.

8 Signs of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, commonly known as PCOS, is a hormonal disorder in women. This disorder is common among women of reproductive age. It can cause issues with your menstrual cycle and make it difficult to become pregnant. Some women experience unwanted changes in their physical appearance. In most cases women develop small fluid filled sacs on their ovaries called cysts. These cysts do not cause direct harm, but they can cause further hormonal imbalances.

Doctors aren’t completely sure what causes the disorder, but it seems to have a genetic component. If other women in your family have PCOS, then you are more likely to develop the disorder. Signs and symptoms can start out mild and escalate as the hormones get more and more unbalanced. Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome can lead to further health complications if left untreated such as diabetes and heart disease. The following list of symptoms is offered to help you better understand how the disorder might present itself. It’s not necessary to have every symptom on the list to have PCOS. If you’re worried that you’re showing signs of this disorder, it’s important for you to contact your doctor. While the disorder can’t be cured, it can be maintained with proper treatment.

1. Abnormal Menstruation

The average menstrual cycle is 28 days, but it’s considered normal to have a cycle that lasts anywhere between 21 and 35 days. A normal period can be anywhere from four to seven days. The average amount of blood loss during a period is around 20 ml to 40 ml, but for some women it can be as low as 10 ml to as high as 60 ml. Losing more than 60 ml of blood during a period is considered abnormally heavy.

Some women with PCOS won’t experience abnormal menstruation, but often high levels of the male hormone androgen will cause menstrual irregularities. These irregularities can come in the form of periods that are too heavy or too light. The hormonal imbalance can cause the ovaries to not develop or release an egg, causing your cycle to lengthen to outside the normal cycle length. It’s not uncommon for women with PCOS to experience less than nine periods a year. Regular menstruation is important for the health of women in their reproductive years. The act of menstruation prevents excessive thickening of the uterus lining. Excessive thickening of the uterus can lead to a buildup of abnormal cells, which can cause serious health issues like cancer.

Just a few examples of over 50 recommendations on LinkedIn:

“I highly recommend Heather to anyone who finds themselves “in the market”, or who is assessing how to make their next professional or career steps. When working with Heather during my own career transition, I found her to be knowledgeable, easy to work with, and just the right mix of coach, cheerleader and accountability partner. Her advice was sound and practical in ways that were tailored to my specific needs and that took into account both by my strengths and areas of opportunity for growth. Heather knows her business, is an excellent sounding board and quite adept at getting one to do what needs to be done – even if they would rather not. I credit our work together as a complete success for me because my “transition” time was much shorter than conventional wisdom would have suggested given the times we are in.”

“I was being considered for a promotion at my job, and Heather gave me EXCELLENT advice on how to update my resume. Both through her direct suggestions and through the questions she asked me about my accomplishments on the job, I made changes in my resume that I think improved it immensely. And I got the promotion!”

“She is a great listener and creative thinker when it comes to providing students with potential job opportunities that match both their skill level and area of passion. Heather has provided me with several invaluable networking opportunities, some of those connections I will bring with me throughout my career in financial services.”

“With very limited previous personal knowledge, Heather was able to provide highly relevant advice on career direction, resume adaptation, and employment research resources.  Her comments and feedback were insightful and belied a knowledge of my personality and interests that our history together could not have provided.  That speaks volumes to me about her ability to listen between the lines and offer assumptions based on her extensive experience with people.  Don’t let her youthful appearance fool you.  She knows her stuff.”

“She assisted me throughout the entire process of my job search, providing valuable advice on a wide variety of questions, big and small.  Her responses were always clear, thoughtful, and, ultimately, very helpful to me in securing a position.”

” Her help made a huge difference in my job search!”

“Heather goes the extra mile helping you make sure your job applications express your full potential. When I was looking for a job Heather helped me find the personal characteristics and abilities that made me attractive to employers in a highly competitive job market. Thanks to her expertise and support I was able to find my dream job in one of the most prestigious consulting firms for foundations and nonprofits.”

“Through our work together, I sincerely state that Heather radiates professional knowledge, and is attuned to the complex challenges awaiting graduating students in the current economic climate.  Furthermore, her advice sparkles with genuine encouragement and warmth.”

““I cannot recommend Heather highly enough.  Her combination of personal integrity, compassion, and job market savvy makes her an extremely effective career coach.  However, Heather does more than just provide career counseling, she helps develop future professionals.  For example, she led numerous classes, trainings, and seminars on how to effectively network, manage one’s job search, and identify potential career opportunities. With Heather’s help, I was able to secure a position at a nationally-recognized company that provided a great salary and challenging work within two week’s of graduating (and this was during the U.S.’s peak unemployment period).   Heather’s track record says it all: she knows what it takes to get results and find a career.”

What The Color Of Your Flow Can Tell You About Your Health

What The Color Of Your Flow Can Tell You About Your Health

Before tossing your tampon into the trash, take a look at what your period could be telling you about your health. There are more indicators in our menstrual blood than we may be aware of.

Every period, in fact, is unique. This goes for person to person, to cycle to cycle. “This can include everything from the timing of their cycle, flow length, heaviness (from spotting to heavy bleeding) and colour can vary from light brown, to bright red to dark,” says Dr. Jacqueline Streich ND, a Naturopathic doctor who practices Chinese Medicine.

However, periods should—for the most part—resemble a similar cycle for each individual and if this varies, one should monitor it in order to decipher whether there could be imbalances or further health risks. Menstruation lasts on average 28 days. A person’s period occurs, on average, from four to seven days. These days can fluctuate throughout your life but if your period becomes longer suddenly, or shorter, includes spotting, or becomes heavier than normal, this could be an irregular period. An imbalance of estrogen and progesterone can contribute to this hormonal shift.

“If your cycles are irregular and difficult to predict it can indicate menstrual abnormalities that need further investigation,” in terms of a hormone imbalance. If your period is painful, this could be a sign of “a hormonally related condition like endometriosis, fibroids or nutrient deficiencies.”

Knowing your flow is an important component of staying up to date on your health and on any possible shifts. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists suggest that monitoring your period is as important as viewing your blood pressure, pulse, and temperature.

What are changes that should be noted?

  • Missing a cycle
  • A change in your flow, “like spotting, or bleeding between periods, or heavier bleeding and the passing of clots.”
  • Dr. Streich says that a period should “be a rich, cranberry red colour from start to finish.” While a “brown or deep red could indicate a hormone imbalance.
  • Not getting your period at all, which can be due to “pregnancy, stress, strenuous exercise, low body fat, or a hormonal imbalance.”

We can begin decoding flow by looking at the period blood. While irregularities can be seen in how consistent or inconsistent a flow can be, changes can also be spotted in the color change, and heaviness or lightness, of a period.

If it’s pink…

A pink period means that it’s typically light in flow, which may be due to excessive exercising lowering estrogen levels. Studies have found that exercising to an extreme can cause periods to disappear, as is seen with athletes or runners. If left untreated, low estrogen levels can lead to osteoporosis. If you begin exercising at an intense level, consider your schedule and routine before continuing. Moreover, other contributions to a pink flow can be poor nutrition, polycystic ovary syndrome, or perimenopause.

If it’s very light, almost watery…

A nutritional deficiency could be the culprit for this color change, according to UCSF Medical Center. A diluted period can be because of anemia which you can be tested for by your doctor. However, a confusing symptom of anemia is that it may also cause the converse—a heavy period that causes you to bleed through tampons and pads in less than an hour.

Another interesting thing to note is that your period can actually cause anemia. When you have your period every month, the iron in the red blood cells is lost, which means your iron absorption is not replaced. This is typically synonymous with people that heavy a heavy menstrual flow.

Furthermore, according to Dr. Carcamo on Shape, a watery period may “be an indication of fallopian tube cancer.” This is worst case scenario as it affects 1 to 2 percent of gynecological cancers. But, it’s still important to note and be aware of when learning about your flow.

If it’s a dark brown…

This is typically normal as it usually means that you have older uterine lining that are just now leaving the body. Dark brown period blood is normal during the beginning or end of your cycle. Moreover, blood clots are normal on your heaviest days and can appear a dark red, dark brown, or even black.

If you have Nexplanon, you may be more prone to having a brown colored flow, as the birth control can affect your hormone levels.

If your flow is brown throughout your menstruation, you could be lacking water and specific nutrients.

If it’s thick, red, with large clots…

Clots the size of a quarter may indicate hormonal imbalance, but some clotting is totally normal. To try and balance your body, cut out dairy, sugar, and soy to see if it changes anything. Before entering menopause, clotting becomes more prevalent as well.

A dark red color is very normal during the first day of your cycle, and in the middle. But if it remains that way the entire time, with overly large clotting you may want to see a doctor.

The normal person with a cervix has 2tbsp of blood loss during their period, ranging from 4 to 6 days. If a woman has children, their periods can be a bit heavier after childbirth.

If it’s grey…

This sounds a bit unpleasant and would probably shock anyone if they saw a grey discharge. This color is usually accompanied with a foul smell which indicates an STI or an infection.

Moreover, women who miscarry also see grey tissue. According to UC Davis Health, ten to 20 percent of women will have a miscarriage in the first ten weeks.

If it’s bright and cranberry red…

This is what the average period blood will look like during your cycle. Although every period, like we mentioned before, is different and unique, this consistency and color is a clear sign that everything is “normal.”

Monitoring your period is incredibly beneficial for women who are seeking to conceive.”Monitoring a period and tracking their cycle is a very useful tool for predicting ovulation and getting pregnant,” says Dr. Streich. Utilizing a period tracker, like Clue, can help accurately track your periods, especially if they become irregular.

If you notice any obvious changes to your flow, it’s always important to seek out a medical professional. Diagnostic testing or an ultrasound may be conducted in order to investigate all potential reasons for any changes. Dr. Streich, being a naturopathic doctor, consults patients on diet and natural ways to balance hormones. Other doctors may conduct a saliva test for hormone imbalance or blood count test for anemia.

Overall, staying in tune with your body and understanding any changes is an easy way to improve any future health conditions.

In my own final article, I happened to be arguing that the ambitions of grand love need not arrive at a halt that is screeching inspite of the present situation on earth.

All eager to take you out as soon as social distancing becomes a thing of the past in this article, I’m sharing my top 7 practical, expert tips on how to write an online dating profile and attract a pool of suitable men.

Why Your Internet Dating Profile Issues

I’ve for ages been a fan of internet dating, and also have constantly motivated my consumers to utilize it (in reality, over 70% of our effective consumers have actually met their amazing guys for a dating that is online or app).

Nevertheless, right right here’s what the results are a great deal: you enroll regarding the most useful online dating sites and yet you don’t be seen. In reality, regardless of being regarding the dating websites that are best, you simply get ticks by scammers and strange guys and commence to feel discouraged and aggravated by the complete procedure.

“What is being conducted here, Sami? ” you may well ask. “Is there something amiss beside me?

Well, right here’s what’s taking place, in my opinion:

It is maybe perhaps maybe not in regards to you, but concerning the way your online profile writes about you.

Within the world that is online impressions matter, and in case your profile checks out such as the profile of 10000 other ladies on the market, the likelihood that an excellent guy will notice you decreases drastically.

Having said that, whenever you understand how to write an on-line dating profile well, whenever it represents your specific fire and power, as soon as your heart shines through those written terms, quirks and all…

— then your experience that is online turns, from boring to exciting, from ignored to desired – all in a jiffy!

Visible results of a well-written internet dating profile:

  • Getting noticed by quality guys;
  • Increased wide range of hits in your profile;
  • Increased inflow of communications from quality males;
  • Increased reaction price to your communications;
  • A lot higher likelihood of getting suitable matches online;
  • More guys up to now;
  • Better high quality men to date;
  • Many others dates;
  • An elevated probability to generally meet your “one“;
  • An increased profits on return on your dating site subscriptions which cost cash.

A variety of tangible advantages!

It’s totally worth it to spend some time writing a good profile or investing in a professional to write one for you as you can see.

And that is the things I ‘m going to assist you to with today.

Listed here are my 7 sure-shot techniques to compose an on-line profile that may prompt you to stick out and obtain quality males to note you and come knocking at your home

Top 7 Easy Methods To Write An On-line Dating Profile That Stands Apart

Suggestion 1: Keep It Short

Less is much more with regards to your on line profile.

Be real to yourself: Do you realy appear prompted to see web web page long profiles of males yourself? What you shouldn’t do, don’t expect a guy to accomplish either.

Lesson: Ensure That Is Stays quick. Keep in mind, he doesn’t have to find out every thing regarding your life throughout your profile. He has up to now you to receive usage of dozens of juicy details.

Therefore expose some things that are interesting you, although not every thing. 5-6 sentences pages, whenever well crafted, do miracles.

Suggestion 2: Avoid Generic Adjectives

Girl a states she actually is “fun, passionate and really really loves dancing”.

Girl B claims she actually is “fun, passionate and really loves dancing”.

While girl A’s fun comprises “late evening parties“, woman B’s fun comprises “ice skating. “

While girl a wants to dancing salsa, girl B is in love with hip street and hop dance.

The purpose i will be making the following is why these are a couple of very different ladies making use of exactly the same generic adjectives to express on their own. These generic adjectives are in effect HIDING the thing that makes these females unique.

If your profile doesn’t shine light on what’s unique about yourself, not merely would you attract incompatible matches, in addition operate the possibility of moving off in your soulmate, that Ms. Best for your needs.

Why? Because he could be just struggling to recognize your individuality amongst that lot of loosely tossed, obscure adjectives.

This brings me personally towards the next point: how will you avoid these generic adjectives and allow your specific light shine through the written term?

Suggestion 3: Give examples that are specific

Let’s explain to you the reason by demonstrating with Woman A’s profile.

In place of expressing by herself in this way that is“general“ she now provides a certain exemplory instance of just just what it can to her to dancing her favourite dance of Salsa. It might appear to be:

“I feel alive and such as a diva that is total we dance Salsa during the regional girls club in downtown SF. ”

Could you observe how the certain instance makes lady a get noticed uniquely? You picture her dancing Salsa such as for instance a diva in the neighborhood girls club in downtown san francisco bay area, and she attracts a picture that is exciting your brain. Who can you need to know at this time?

Woman A, or Girl B with her“fun that is old and really really loves dancing“?

The clear answer is not difficult. The greater amount of particular you could get, the greater you can easily be noticeable in a man’s mind and get their psychological juices and excitement moving for you personally also with no met you.

It really works like a delicate, non-sexual brain seduction. Similarly effective, with no less effective compared to real thing.

Suggestion 4: Paint The Photo

You want in a man or in a relationship, instead of using loaded adjectives to DESCRIBE what you want, paint the picture of what you desire when it comes to describing what.

Let’s simply take a good example.

Description structure seems like: “My guy should always be fun, relaxed and like hiking. “

Painting the image seems like:

“It would feel so great to stay by the sofa, relax with him for a evening while munching popcorn. Saturday”

“The notion of taking place an adventurous hike up an Appalachian path with him fills me personally up with childlike excitement. “

Can you notice the real difference?

Once you simply describe what you would like, you don’t evoke any emotions inside the guy reading it because he does not understand how these specific adjectives of “relaxed and hiking“ would appear to be that you know.

Whenever you take care to paint the image, you make sure that the guy reading your profile gets a glimpse of just what being near to you may feel to him.

Suggestion 5: Avoid Needs

Frequently, you will discover Web dating experts offering advice that you ought to allow the males understand what you will end up expecting from their website into the relationship.

We state: perhaps perhaps perhaps Not the idea that is best, and particularly perhaps perhaps maybe not if it appears like a need!

Let’s see a few examples and just how guys would read them.

Woman A: “I like my men to make the lead, to pay for on dates and court me throughout the dating process. “

He most likely would spend anyway and would court the woman anyhow, but reading that written on he is made by a profile get: “Eeeww! Demanding. Maybe maybe Not yes i will deliver all that therefore strictly. “

Utah’s First Medical Cannabis Dispensary Expected to Open Monday

State lawmakers are scrambling to make sure everything goes as planned.
Medical Marijuana Will Not Be Permitted on Oklahoma College Campuses

With Utah’s first medical marijuana dispensary set to open its doors, state lawmakers scrambled to approve adjustments to the cannabis law.

State house representatives greenlit a bill Thursday that had received senate approval only a few days prior, with the aim of getting the legislation on Republican Gov. Gary Herbert’s desk by week’s end. According to Deseret News, Herbert is expected to give the bill his signature on Friday—just before the state’s first dispensary begins operations.

The Deseret News reported that the bill allows “the state to conduct initial product testing to give the private sector time to gauge supply and demand, the bill raises patient caps for doctors, clarifies that private employers don’t need to allow marijuana use and requires the raw marijuana flower to be packaged in sealed containers with a 60-day expiration date, among other provisions.”

MMJ’s Slow Progress in Utah

Voters in Utah approved a referendum legalizing medical marijuana in 2018, making it the 33rd state to do so.

But the lead-up to the program’s March launch has been marked by delays and controversies. After voters approved the measure 53 percent to 47 percent, Utah legislators immediately began work on a compromise bill to overwrite the proposal approved at the ballot. The bill passed and was signed into law during a special session in December 2018, dramatically limiting the scope of the measure approved by a majority of voters only a month earlier.

Marijuana advocates challenged the bill in court, but the lawsuit was thrown out by the Utah Supreme Court in August. Justice Paige Petersen, writing for the court’s majority, ruled that while the state’s constitution “creates and protects the voters’ right to place legislation on the ballot for approval or rejection by the people, it also carves out an exception to that right.”

The state’s first dispensary is slated to open Monday in Salt Lake City. State officials said last month that they would award dispensary licenses to 10 different companies at 14 separate sites throughout Utah.

Marc Babitz, deputy director with the Utah Department of Health, told a group of state lawmakers last month that only one or two dispensaries are slated to open in the first week of March, and that even then it will likely be difficult for patients to get a cannabis prescription.

10 Best Strains to Improve Your Workout

Having trouble getting to the gym? Well if you’re not a fan of overstimulating pre-workouts and expensive supplements in general, you may want to try smoking weed before the gym.
Top 10 Strains to Improve Your Work Out
Dan Skye/High Times

While smoking does have a somewhat unwarranted reputation for making its users lazy and tired, that’s not always the case.There are certain strains that can invigorate its users with a cerebral, energetic high that provides not only the perfect motivation to hit the gym, but gives you the energy needed for a killer workout. The best part about smoking weed before a workout—it’s all natural, unlike your standard over-the-shelf supplements. So, without further ado, here are the top 10 strains to improve your workout.

10. Sour Cheese

10 Best Strains to Improve Your Workout
Justin Cannabis/High Times

Sour Cheese is a hybrid that bestows its users with a nice balanced high—a perfect mix of high energy and a relaxed mental state. Being slightly sativa-dominant (around 60/40), it should provide the user with enough juice to get through a workout, without making you crash towards the end of it.

1 comment
  1. You are right that weed is natural and can enhance your workout, but please don’t demonize supplements. Just as weed, if you consume them properly they’re completely safe. The only thing weed can replace are preworkouts. Protein and creatin aren’t meant to be consumed for the “I wanna lift” feeling, they’re for something entirely different. Also those over the shelf supplements aren’t necessarily non-natural. Whey protein is created by extracting it from whey – a leftover product you get when making dairy products. Creatine is in lot of food but you can’t get enough just by eating, unless you want to get really fat, so they extract it. I’ve been using creatine for over two years and there is nothing you could substitute it with (beside steroids).

Is She … ?

Is she
beyond me?
Another love refugee
from behind a veil
upon a prevailing trail
that has led her to flee?
My very being
wholly captivated
With me
will she be
totally satiated?
Is she soul free?
Is she emancipated
from the old man
of cruel slavery?

As some men are driven
striven upon the winds
of heartless tradition
and blind confusion
to take
and consume
the fruits of creation
Leaving only a tide high
of destruction upon the ocean
of love’s shattered reflection
A lonesome wake
For heaven’s sake
take care
Naked and exposed
That’s the risk
she should never take

As for me
is she to be
my conscience
of compassion
My soul companion
clear through
to eternity?
Across the sea
of unbridled passion
with a love
you just can’t forsake
My lucky star of destiny
Is this predestination?
A burning fusion
you just can’t fake
This deal must be real
above and beyond
a relentless lust
As my very best
is put to the test
with a thirst
busting forth
from the depth
of holy oneness
How much more
can a poor boy take?
Boby and soul
in need of rest
for survival sake

Yet the very memory
of her first touch
that killer thrill
it chills me still
Her private intensity
kept behind the lock
of a mysterious key
Will she forever be
the unraveling
of a sweet infinity
Seizing and freezing
all my uncertainty
in the unfurling
of pure ecstasy
is she …
just too much for me?
Is she …
mine to take?
I’m too far gone
It’s way too late
Under the glare
of a falling star
Heaven can wait

Rather than an arrival
of bare survival, with a whimper,

To submit, and submit again,
to the will of the Great Spirit.
And as light through a prism,

  1. I think poetry from the heart is one of the best gifts of love ever, or anything created with all our hearts and for someone else. I love this, David. I know you published it a long time ago, but I just found it today.

    1. Thanks Nina.
      You’ve just reminded me;

      “Starry, starry night
      Paint your palette blue and grey
      Look out on a summer’s day
      With eyes that know
      the darkness in my soul
      Shadows on the hills
      Sketch the trees and the daffodils
      Catch the breeze
      and the winter chills
      In colors on the snowy linen land
      Now I understand
      What you tried to say to me
      And how you suffered
      for your sanity
      And how you tried to set them free
      They would not listen,
      they did not know how
      Perhaps they’ll listen now?”

      Well, Bob Dylan is 78. I saw him
      recently in concert, and as he sang
      a few poignant words, several girls
      in the audience (girl = as in under 30)
      got out of their seats and started
      waving around their hankies?
      At least they weren’t flinging panties.

      “I can dress up your wounds
      With a blood-clotted rag.
      I ain’t afraid to make love
      To a bitch or a hag.
      If you see me comin’
      and you’re standing there
      wave your handkerchief
      In the air
      I ain’t dead yet
      My bell still rings
      I keep my fingers crossed
      Like them early Roman kings.”

Statistics: mileage 9 1/2 miles  ascent 2051′  descent 3054′  7 1/2 hours

After an enjoyable overnight stay at Guttenberghaus, we bid farewell to our host, Gunter, who runs the refuge in the summers and teaches cross country skiing during the winters.

goodbye to Gunter

We walked back up the mountain to rejoin the trail at Feisterscharte Gap overlooking the vast Am Stein landscape.

We navigated our way through very rocky terrain throughout most of the morning.

The rocks gave way to mountainsides covered in scrubby little pine trees, an interesting change of landscape.

Next, wide open views toward mountain peaks of unusual shapes drew our attention.

Soon the trail opened out onto wild mountain meadows interspersed with short trees, ice-melt ponds, and rocky outcroppings.

We arrived at Grafenbergalm in time for a much-needed snack.

Grafenbergalm was run by the amiable Bolda and his pet chicken, Bertha.  Bertha greeted us all and was most willing to be held.  Bolda had created an elderberry drink which we found very refreshing.

Leaving the alm we passed by several clear alpine lakes. From a distance, these are like emeralds in the forest.

For the remainder of the afternoon we walked through some lovely forests on the trail to the Stoderzinken.

With a final 20 minute uphill push, we arrived at the inviting Berg Gästhof Steinerhaus, a very comfortable mountain inn with an outstanding dinner menu!

The Fairness of Money

I grew up vowing never to follow the custom that I saw as unfair and corruptible.

I grew up vowing never to follow the custom that I saw as unfair and corruptible.

Comments about this post on ABC Open 500 words – Shaped by childhood.

It was nearing the end of a meal, and people were still busy chatting to each other. Suddenly I heard the steady, pounding noise of someone running, then I saw a strange scene unfolding between Mr Frugal and Mr Opportunistic inside the restaurant by the cash register. The two men, red-faced and smiling, were grabbing at each other’s hands and pockets. Each was preventing the other from paying for the group’s meal. Money was shoved back into each owner’s pockets and hands were moved away from the till. The two men were heard shouting things like: “No, let me!”, “Please don’t do that, you are so weird!” Strangers may appreciate how eager and obliging both men were in displaying their hospitality.

I was still young at the time, but I realised why the two men wrestled with each other to foot the bill. It was a cheap restaurant and would not cost a lot for someone to fork out for the group. On the contrary, everyone dreads paying at an expensive venue, where those who are selfish, inconsiderate and know that it would not be their turn, would freely order an excess of dishes and drinks.

I was told that in our culture, it’s a taboo, rude and ‘mean’ to ask the individuals, acquaintances, friends and relatives to pay for their own meals. I learnt that Vietnamese are rather afraid of ‘losing face’, so instead someone who usually is the eldest, high-ranking, wealthy or a male would pay for the group and hopefully someone else would pay next time.

With my family’s experience, I observed when it was someone’s turn to pay yet they did not turn up at the gathering, or if they attended then they would ignore that it was their obligation to shell out. Insisting someone should pay is unheard of in the Vietnamese custom.

I remembered that the crowd at each event generally varied, and when no one volunteered to pay, the same person with the highest prestige would desire to keep their reputation as ‘generous’ and not being labelled ‘stingy’, would always have to step up to pay.

Bizarrely, I also witnessed moments when the financially able elder relatives or high-status members of the group blissfully and immorally ‘forgot’ to take the initiative to settle the bills, even it was their turn. In that case, ironically, it happened that the inferior member who possessed a good conscience bitterly paid to keep the harmony in the group.

Seeing the unfairness of the eating-out rule, growing up I vowed never to follow the protocol. Even when going out with groups or just a friend, I refused to participate in “I’ll pay for you this time and you’ll pay for me next time.” custom. I didn’t care if people think of me as ‘breaking the tradition’, ‘a scrooge’.

These days, when I went out with other Australians, with the ‘go Dutch’ policy, I noticed plenty of times when the table collected more money than was required, but there were also times when the collected money was short. Again, when it occurred, usually the host of the event or a respected member of the group paid the gap.

It’s the tradition, it’s the custom,
That you have to follow,
Oh, why you look so glum?

Those past get-together,
Where were you?
Your turn to pay now, don’t be a dodger!

The eating house is all cleaned up,
No trace of the lavish party,
Your modest monthly wage is too burnt up!
(Blues-style poem)

Techniques to get behaviour: luring and moulding

[Klik hier voor de Nederlands versie van dit artikel]

Luring, moulding, shaping, targeting and capturing are five different ways of teaching a horse new behaviour with positive reinforcement.  What are the pros and cons of each technique?

This is part I: the pros and cons of luring and moulding. Luring and moulding are techniques I use the least in training.

In luring you use a primary reinforcer to lure the horse into the desired behaviour. For instance holding a carrot between the horses’ front legs to entice him to bow. The horse gets the lure as soon as he is performing the goal behaviour. Luring differs from targeting because the lure is the reinforcer (treat).

Pros of luring
It can be a good aid to communicate what you want the horse to do.
It is a fast way of getting (the goal) behaviour.

Cons of luring
The lure (bait) can be so distracting that the horse doesn’t pay attention to the trainer and his cues in order to get to the lure as quickly as possible.

The lure can also prevent the horse from focusing on the behaviour he is suppose to learn.

It can cause serious safety issues if you lure a horse into behaviour with food and you can’t see your hand and/or the horses mouth while you are feeding him. Using a lure can promote biting behaviour because the horse is only focused on getting the lure.

Luring can cause confusion regarding their expectations and change their behaviour around food. This confusion can come from the lure marking the behaviour and not the bridge signal. This in turn can encourage undesirable behaviours like mugging or biting.

Because the lure is so attractive it can cause frustration in the animal as long as he doesn’t get (to) the lure and /or doesn’t understands the assignment.

The horse already knows what his reward is going to be. This predictability can cause the behaviour going extinct instead of getting (more) behaviour. We all know horses that can be caught with a bucket of food in hand, but we also all know horses that see the bucket (lure) and run the opposite way. Same goes with luring a horse into a trailer. It might work once or twice. But if the animals needs are not met (take away his fears), luring will not work and your bond of trust can be damaged.

It can be hard to fade out the lure: your horse might not even want to try to bow if he doesn’t see a carrot.

Luring seems quicker than teaching your horse targeting first, but I find the cons outweigh the pros here. I wouldn’t recommend luring in training.

_1Luring_food_into bow_hippologic

Moulding also sometimes referred to as ‘molding’ or ‘manipulation’ is physically guiding or otherwise coercing a horse (or one body part)  into the behaviour you want to teach (goal behaviour). Then bridge and reinforce the behaviour. Example: with a lead rope between your horses front legs gently guiding your horse into a bow.

Pros of moulding
Like luring it can help to communicate more clearly what you want your horse to do. In that way it can prevent frustration.

It is easy to understand and to carry out for humans.

It can be used to teach complex behaviours in ‘one go’, for instance a bow or kneeling.

Cons of moulding
The horse is not enticed to use his brain in this method, his body is set up in the desired position. Therefor it can be hard to fade out the training aid you used, in this example the halter and lead rope.

Warning: sometimes there is only a fine line between moulding and forcing. Forcing a horse, or any animal for that matter, into behaviour is not ethical and should not be acceptable as a training method. Be careful with moulding especially if you start getting frustrated.

In the next blog I will discuss the pros and cons of shaping, targeting and capturing. Techniques I use a lot in horse training.

  2. I appreciate the clarification of the differences in getting a behavior. I am working with a horse as well as several dogs, and was not quite clear about how to teach the individual how to do what I want (beginner clicker trainer). Looking forward to learning more, in small steps. Thank you!

Charnwood Forest Convalescent Homes

As convalescent homes were not strictly speaking medical buildings, and most of the patients sent to convalescence were able to get up during the day, many were established in private houses which required little alteration to fit them to their purpose. If they proved popular and were well supported, they might be replaced by a purpose-built establishment. Location was important, somewhere where the patients could benefit from clean air away from the cities or towns where they were likely to have been living. Many general hospitals set up convalescent homes in the surrounding countryside or by the sea. Others were independent, but both types were run as charitable ventures, supported by donations, subscriptions and fund-raising events.

Charnwood Lodge, near Loughborough, is now a residential home for people with autism and complex behaviour run by Priory Adult Care, but it was originally built as a convalescent home. The foundation stone of was laid on 2 August 1893 by the Duchess of Rutland, and the home was designed by local Loughborough architect, George H. Barrowcliff.  A convalescent home for Loughborough patients had first been established in rented rooms in a cottage at Woodhouse Eaves in 1875. Its success led to the opening of a second convalescent home in 1879, intended for Leicester patients. The two homes were merged in 1883 from which time they were officially known as Charnwood Forest Convalescent Homes.

Extract from the 25-inch OS map revised in 1901. Reproduced by permission of the National Library of Scotland

The new building, pictured in the postcard and marked on the map above, was described in the Nottingham Evening Post when the foundation stone was laid in 1893:

The building is situated on the west side of the Buck Hill road, in the heart of Charnwood Forest, being midway between Nanpantan and Woodhouse, … It is sheltered by the Outwoods from the east, by the rough rising rocks known as Easom’s Piece from the west, and by the rising ground at the rear on the north. This site, selected by the committee after most careful consideration, contains an area of four acres, a part of which is covered by a spinney, and it is proposed that the remainder shall be laid out as ornamental grounds. The building, which is of a domestic character, is being erected of the local forest stone, and faced with red sand faced bricks to the doors, windows and corners, and with a brick lining on the inner side, all the external walls to the main building being erected with a two-inch cavity between the stonework and the inner lining. On the front of the building a verandah 7ft 6in wide runs the entire length. This is partly covered with glass, so as not to diminish the light in the rooms. The building will consist of ground, first and second floors, with a spacious corridor running the entire length of each. The entrance hall is approached from the centre of the verandah, and will be available as a committee-room or for the patients to receive their friends, and is divided from the men’s and women’s corridors by swing doors. The remainder of the front consists of three sitting rooms … and a matron’s room 16ft by 13ft. The back portion of the main building ground floor consists of dining hall, … capable of seating 56 persons; sitting room, … china and store rooms. Main staircases at either end lead to the men’s and women’s bedrooms. At the rear are kitchen … scullery, larder, and other offices opening into large paved yard, at the side of which a coach-house is being erected. Suitable lavatory accommodation, lined with white glazed bricks, and isolated from the main buildings, is provided for both sexes at either end of the building. The ventilation and sanitary arrangements are as perfect as can be attained. … The house is designed for 45 patients, and for the entire separation of the sexes except when taking meals, when they will meet in the common dining hall. The sitting and bedrooms will be heated by open fire grates, and the corridors and dining hall by hot water. … The architect after careful consideration has selected the Brindle tile for the roofs from Mr J. Peake, Tunstall bricks for facings from Messrs Tucker and Son of Loughborough, the stone from Messrs. Brabble & Co. Farley Darley Dale quarry. The cost of the structure complete including purchase of land, water supply furnishing etc will be about £6, 000, and the contract is being carried out by Messrs W. Moss & Son of Loughborough, under the direction of the architect, Mr George H. Barrowcliff, of Loughborough.

The home was formally opened by the Duke of Rutland in 1894, and in 1896 a lodge was added to accommodate the gardener who also acted as caretaker to the home while it was closed over the winter.

Detail of the postcard, showing a group of convalescents posing in front of the building.

Although the bedrooms of the men and women were separated in the home, they were able to mix at meal times. Patients were allowed to entertain visitors, and musical entertainments were sometimes put on. There is a suggestion that early on some of the convalescents may have enjoyed their stay rather too much. At the annual meeting of the management committee one of the members, a Mrs Edwin de Lisle, moved that the rules of the home be amended to exclude ‘persons of intemperate habits’. She thought patients ought to be prevented from getting more intoxicating liquors than was sometimes good for them.

Following the outbreak of the Boer War in 1899 the management committee offered the War Office the use of the home during the winter months for wounded soldiers, though whether the offer was taken up is not clear. Wounded soldiers were accommodated during the First World War, mostly transferred from larger war time hospitals – such as the 5th Northern Hospital at Leicester.

In 1900 a new building was erected as a children’s convalescent home to replace the small house in Maplewell Road at Woodhouse Eaves. This was entirely funded by the Revd W. H. Cooper of Burleigh Hall, Loughborough, in memory of his wife and was named the Cooper Memorial home for children. It was built on Brand Hill, at the upper corner of Hunger Hill Wood, at Woodhouse Eaves, a well wooded site with fine views on the estate of Mrs Perry Herrick.  The home, originally built to house 26 children, was designed by Barrowcliff and Allcock in conjunction with Alfred W. N. Burder. Moss & Sons of Loughborough were the building contractors, and the heating and ventilation were provided by Messenger & Co. Ltd. It provided two large day rooms, one a dining-room the other a play room, sitting rooms for the matron and nurses, and four wards upstairs for the children, one of which was arranged as an isolation ward with nurse’s bedroom attached. A brass memorial plaque was placed in the entrance hall commemorating the home’s benefactor and his late wife.

Both homes continued in use up until the 1950s, the independent charity continuing after the inception of the National Health Service. The Children’s home was sold to the Church of England Children’s  Society in 1987, and two years later was converted into a home for the elderly. It is now called Charnwood House, and has been converted into private flats.
