Background: Bacterial vaginosis is one of the most prevalent complications among reproductive-aged women. Antibacterial and antifungal effects of Berberis vulgaris have been demonstrated in vitro and in vivo.

Objectives: This study aimed to compare the therapeutic effects of the vaginal gel of Berberis vulgaris 5% (in metronidazole base) with metronidazole vaginal gel 0.75% on bacterial vaginosis on 80 patients referred to the Hajar Hospital from January 2012 to April 2013.

Methods: This study was a randomized clinical trial research on 80 women affected by bacterial vaginosis, who were randomly divided into two groups of 40 participants. Diagnostic criteria were Amsel’s criteria and Gram stain. Berberis vulgaris 5% (in metronidazole gel base) or metronidazole vaginal gel for five-night usage was prescribed to each group, and after two to seven days therapeutic effects and Amsel criteria were assessed. Data analysis was performed by SPSS 16 using Student t-test, chi-square, and ANOVA tests.

Results: Findings of the study showed a statistically significant difference with regard to treatment response between the study groups (p<0.001), and the Berberis vulgaris group had a better response than the metronidazole gel group. The patients in groups of Berberis vulgaris in a metronidazole gel base did not experience any relapse, but, in the metronidazole group, 30% of patients experienced relapse during three weeks’ follow-up.

Conclusions: Findings of the study showed that adding Berberis vulgaris fruit extract on metronidazole improve the efficacy of bacterial vaginosis therapy.

Clinical trial registration: The trial was registered at the Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials (http://www.irct.ir) with the IRCT ID: IRCT201411102085N13.

Funding: Shahrekord University of Medical Sciences supported this research.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the current Visual Management practices in highways construction projects in England.
Following a comprehensive literature review, the research topic was investigated by using five case studies and focus groups.
The main findings are (i) the current implementation of VM is limited, particularly on the construction field, (ii) there are some identified points (suggestions) that require attention to disseminate and advance the current practices further (iii) many conventional and BIM based opportunities to extend the current Visual Management implementations exist for the sector.
The highways construction and maintenance sector in England has been systematically deploying lean construction techniques in its operations for a while. One of those lean techniques is a close-range visual communication strategy called Visual Management. The literature on the Visual Management implementation in construction is scarce and generally limited to the building construction context. This paper documents the current industry practice in conventional and Building Information Modelling (BIM) based Visual Management and identifies a set of recommendations and some Visual Management ideas for future implementation efforts in the highways construction and maintenance sector.

Combustion and Flame

A transported probability density function (PDF) method and a photon Monte Carlo/line-by-line (PMC/LBL) spectral model are exercised to generate physical insight into soot processes and spectral radiation characteristics in transient high-pressure turbulent n-dodecane spray flames, under conditions that are relevant for compression-ignition piston engines. PDF model results are compared with experimental measurements and with results from a locally well-stirred reactor (WSR) model that neglects unresolved turbulent fluctuations in composition and temperature. Computed total soot mass and soot spatial distributions are highly sensitive to the modeling of unresolved turbulent fluctuations. To achieve reasonable agreement between model and experiment and to capture the highly intermittent nature of soot in the turbulent flame, it is necessary to accurately represent mixing and the low diffusivity of soot particles. This is accomplished in the PDF framework using a mixing model that enforces locality in the gas-phase composition space, while not mixing the transported soot variables. The results suggest that mixing is at least as important as kinetics in controlling soot formation and evolution in high-pressure turbulent flames. Regarding radiation, radiant fractions and global influences of radiation in these flames are relatively small. Nevertheless, an examination of spectral radiative heat transfer provides valuable insight into the nature and modeling of radiation in high-pressure turbulent combustion systems. There are complex spectral interactions that are revealed using PMC/LBL. CO2 dominates the total radiative emission and reabsorption, but most of the emitted CO2 radiation is reabsorbed before reaching the walls. On the other hand, most of the emitted soot radiation reaches the walls, but soot radiation is a small contribution overall; H2O dominates the radiation that reaches the walls. Global turbulence–radiation interactions (TRI) effects are small, but radiative emission from soot increases by approximately a factor two when TRI are considered. Radiative transfer contributes both to energy redistribution in the vessel and to wall heat losses. The results suggest that a simple model that considers soot radiation and the principal CO2 and H2O spectral bands might be sufficient to capture the key influences of radiation in engine CFD. It is expected that these findings will contribute to the development of truly predictive CFD models for engines and other high-pressure turbulent combustion systems.

The 9D Arcturian Council: A Higher Frequency in Your Root Chakra

Arcturian Council Era of Light Dot Com“Greetings. We are the Arcturian Council. We are pleased to connect with all of you.

We have been taking quite a bit of your linear time to gather together with other collectives, councils, federations, and any other grouping of beings who would gather together with us. We have been pooling our information and examining the different approaches that have been taken and your responses to those approaches. And now we know how better to connect with you.

We know what you respond to, and we also know what you have not been getting and what you need. There is a frequency range that you have yet to discover, and that frequency range is available to you. It is inside of you. When you access it, you will have more of an ability to receive.

Now, the frequency we are referring to is one that you access by shifting your consciousness down into your root chakra. What we mean by that is that if you put all of your attention, all of your consciousness, all of your awareness, at the base of your spine, you will feel a fluctuation. You will feel something that you’ve never felt before.

You have been doing too much for too long just to survive, and your root chakras are largely responsible for all of the unnecessary actions you have taken. It’s time for all of you to tap into the truth that you don’t need to struggle anymore. You can relax and receive. The root chakra is just the last part of yourselves that needs convincing, and your consciousness is ready to do just that.

All you need to do is place it there, and then feel for what happens. Feel for how much more open and receptive you are. Feel for that higher frequency that you have denied yourselves up until now.

We are the Arcturian Council, and we have enjoyed connecting with you.”

Settlement Test

Because ERKA piles are generally instantly subjected to the working load, the settlement test is sufficient for verifying the outer load-bearing capacity. In this case the pile is subjected to a timed constant load by a press jack.

Simultaneously, the ground settlement behaviour is time-dependant protocolled. Conclusions as to the visco-elastic material behaviour can be drawn from the results which can then be taken into account when manufacturing the piles.

Ground behaviour – Settlement

A settlement test is also called for where the ground behaviour is not predeterminable, i.e. the time-dependant settlement behaviour is decisive. Several settlement tests are carried out depending on the number of piles and the size of the building project.

Could Loss Mitigation Be The Career For You?

Find The Lowest Price HERE

Foreclosures are currently at an all time high and with the trend looking set to continue it offers an opportunity to get involved at a business level in the real estate market. There are two aspects of the market that you can realistically get involved in. The first option is the Short Sale Market, where a borrower has a mortgage that is worth more than the value of their property and need to sell to cut their losses. This market is mainly for investors and is extremely difficult to enter into unless you have some previous experience in the real estate or mortgage business. The second more appealing business option is Loss Mitigation. This is aimed at helping homeowners save their homes from foreclosure while still being able to stay in the property.

Loss Mitigation is a process where a third party will work with the homeowner and lender and negotiate a more affordable deal than the homeowner would be able to attain on their own. There are a couple of reasons why this service works so well. Firstly the negotiator works only on a professional basis and doesn’t let emotion cloud his judgment. He can concentrate wholly on the facts and figures and on that basis alone can achieve a better deal than the average homeowner would. The other reason is the knowledge and information they can provide of all the lenders various programs and rules which a normal homeowner just wouldn’t have.

There are some things worth considering if you are thinking about starting a Loss Mitigation as a business. You should form an affiliation with a company that can provide this type of service for your clients. In effect you’d be looking for something similar to an outsourcing company. Although Loss Mitigation is very rewarding it also carries a high burden of uncertainty as well as liability. By using an already established company that can provide a reliable, responsible level of service will be beneficial to you and your clients.

It will be beneficial firstly, because an established company will already have a network of connections to lenders in place. It will also have knowledge of the ever changing rules and programs each individual lender has to offer. In a fast changing marketplace this information is invaluable to you and your clients, especially when your business is still in its infancy. Remember you are working with clients who are facing foreclosure and are at risk of losing their homes. You would be taking on a huge responsibility if you did not have any prior knowledge or experience, so forming an association with an outsourcing company makes sense.

Credibility is also another reason for using an outsourcing company. Using a company that has been in the marketplace for a number of years and has a good reputation makes good business sense. Since the number of foreclosures increased dramatically a couple of years ago, many new companies sprung up to cash in on the surge in the market. You should carefully research the background of any company you intend to become involved with and choose one that’s been around prior to the upturn in the market in 2005. This should give you and your client’s piece of mind that you are dealing with a credible company.

You should also look for a company that has a history of getting the deals done in the best interest of the clients. Look for a company that has recorded testimonials from satisfied clients. It costs a lot more money to produce an audio testimonial than just a few written words on a website. While this is still no guarantee that the testimonials are indeed real, it does give more credibility to the testimonials as even false ones are very costly to produce.

You should also take into consideration the matter of liability. Not all companies work in the same way, so research this aspect thoroughly before committing to any association. Some companies may ask you to set up escrow or trust accounts, some may even ask you to set up an LCC. The reason for this is they will want you to collect client’s fees. If you wan to avoid having any liability then you want to find a company that will collect the fees directly from the client. You will also have to make sure the clients are signing contracts with the company as the main service provider. If you ensure these two points are being followed, then you will only be an independent contractor for that company and they will be liable as the contracted service provider if anything were to go wrong.

Other things to consider are the support structures the company has in place. Do they provide training? Will they provide the marketing and tools you may need to initially establish your business? Most credible companies will have all these support structures in place. To get you started a legitimate company will charge you a fee of around $1500-$3500, a fee well worth paying if you get the right company for you and your clients.

Let’s go over once more all the points we’ve covered so far if you’re thinking about a career in Loss Mitigation. You will need to find an outsourcing company that will provide a quality service at an affordable price for your clients. The company should provide you with training, and support and services for both you and your clients. They should take care of all the contracts, handle the appropriate paperwork and collect all fees. They should also have a proven track record in the business. These are all important features to look out for as they will be beneficial in helping you in your new business as well as helping your clients.

This can be a very profitable business, but you should research the options available to you thoroughly before making any decisions. Doing so will be in your best interest and will also benefit the families you are helping.

I have researched many of the companies that are out there offering Loss Mitigation services and the only one I have so far found that meets all the requirements outlined in this article is Freedom Foreclosure Prevention Services. You can learn more about this vibrant, expanding company at their corporate website ffpswebinar dot biz.

World Bank is one of the first organizations to place special emphasis on womens’ health issues.  In order to improve a woman’s quality of life, education is key, and would enable her to become financially independent.  Nutrition and reproduction are issues that the World Bank has given special consideration to.  A correlation between population control and poverty has also been noted.  By setting up family planning clinics, women are equipped with the know how on how to plan for a family.

Merely educating the women of a society is not enough. It is necessary to educate the public that investing in a woman’s well-being is in the community’s best interest.  There are many regions in the developing world where women face a gender bias that results in their being at the short end of the receiving line.

All institutions across the board such as governments, NGOs, civil institutions (hospitals and schools) have to be committed to bringing about this change.  If all work in tandem, only then can we can expect to see an improvement in the condition of over half the worlds’ population.

Sex After a Hysterectomy

A hysterectomy is surgery to remove the uterus (womb) — the hollow organ where babies grow and develop during pregnancy. Having this procedure can relieve pain and other symptoms from conditions like fibroids or endometriosis. And if you have uterine or cervical cancer, it could save your life.

Any surgery can have both short-term and long-term side effects. A hysterectomy can cause side effects like pain and bleeding. Once you have this procedure, you won’t be able to carry a child.

A hysterectomy can also impact your sex life in the weeks following the procedure. Yet it shouldn’t prevent you from having sex — and enjoying it — once you’re healed.

Here’s a look at how a hysterectomy can affect your sexuality and what you can do to ensure you don’t lose this important part of your life.

How soon can I start having sex?

Most of the surgery-related side effects should go away and your body should heal within two months.

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recommend that you not insert anything in your vagina for the first six weeks after your surgery.

Doctors can perform different types of hysterectomy:

  • Total hysterectomy. This is the most common type. It removes the whole uterus, including the bottom part, the cervix. The surgeon might also remove your ovaries and fallopian tubes.
  • Partial (also called subtotal or supracervical) hysterectomy. Only the top part of the uterus is removed. The cervix is left in place.
  • Radical hysterectomy. The surgeon removes the uterus, cervix, tissue on either side of the cervix, and the top part of the vagina. This type is often used to treat cancer of the cervix or uterus.

You might have some light bleeding and discharge after your surgery, and you’ll no longer get regular menstrual periods.

Pain, burning, and itching around the incision site are also normal. If your ovaries were removed, you’ll likely have menopause-like side effects like hot flashes and night sweats.

How do hysterectomies change how I have sex?

A hysterectomy will put your sex life on pause for a few weeks, but it shouldn’t end it.

According to one review of studies, most women said their sex life either stayed the same or improved after the procedure. They were finally free from the pain or heavy bleeding that caused them to have the surgery.

Having your ovaries removed during the procedure could dampen your desire for sex, though. That’s because your ovaries produce testosterone and estrogen — hormones that are integral to your libido.

Can I still have an orgasm?

Some women do report that they have less intense orgasms or no orgasms at all after surgery. This is because removing the uterus can cut nerves that enable you to climax.

Also, the cervix contains nerves that are stimulated during sex. If your cervix was removed during the procedure, the surgeon may have cut these nerves. This is rare and not the norm for most people who have the surgery, though.

Will sex still feel the same?

A hysterectomy shouldn’t affect sensation in your vagina. However, removing your ovaries will put you into menopause, which can dry out the tissues of the vagina and make sex more painful.

What’s the safest way to start having sex again?

First, make sure you wait at least six weeks — or as long as your doctor recommends — before you start having sex again. Take your time easing back into sex.

If vaginal dryness is making sex too painful, ask your doctor about using vaginal estrogen creams, rings, or tablets. Or, try a water-based or silicone-based lubricant like K-Y or Astroglide when you have sex.

What steps can I take to improve my sex life?

If you’re having difficulty getting back to your normal sex life after a hysterectomy, try these tips to get back on track:

1. Take your time

When you have sex, don’t rush. Give yourself time to get aroused.

2. Experiment

Try different positions until you find one that’s most comfortable. Explore options other than vaginal sex, like oral or manual stimulation.

3. Be honest

Be open with your partner about what feels good and what hurts.

If these tips don’t work, consider seeing a sex therapist or counselor with your partner.

Bottom Line:

Once you pass the six-week mark after your surgery, you should be able to go back to a normal sex life. If you’re still having problems with arousal, orgasm, or comfort during sex, don’t just accept it. See your doctor.

Here are a few questions to ask your doctor:

  • What’s the safest way to ease back into sex after my surgery?
  • What should I do if sex is painful?
  • How can I overcome a lack of desire?
  • What should I do if my partner is getting frustrated or isn’t helping?

Together, you and your doctor can strategize ways to make your sex life as good as — or even better than it was — before your surgery.

Pest Control: 3 most important practices to control insects.

Cinch bugs, Mealy bugs, Scale and Grubs are just a few examples of problem insects that can damage and kill your plants and lawn here in Southwest Florida. By proactively controlling the problem insect population in your landscaping, you can prevent aggravation and save money. Below are three proven methods to prevent nuisance insect outbreaks and damage to your landscaping:

Promote Healthy Landscaping

Healthy lawns and landscaping are the best defense against unwanted insects. For example, providing the appropriate amount of fertilizer, water, and sunlight for your turf and plants will promote healthy root systems that deter insects such as chinch bugs from destroying your lawn. Chinch bugs feed on the roots of turf grass.  However, they are rarely found in healthy grass with a strong root system. Keeping your plants and turf healthy is the best defense against unwanted insects.

Correctly Identify Insects During Spot Checks

Your Estate landscape team is constantly on the look out for any indications of insect damage to your landscaping.  The insect(s) that  have caused the damage are identified and controlled with organic or chemical insecticides.  Frequent property inspections are a great idea since insect populations can spread rapidly if not caught quickly .  More importantly however is correctly identifying the problem that you are having with your landscaping and  the insect responsible.

Use the Right Control Method

Insecticides can be expensive and over use of some insecticides can cause insects to build up resistance.  In some cases, beneficial insects such as ladybugs will provide effective treatment of aphids without resorting to use of chemicals. Only after correctly identifying the  problem insects in your landscaping, can a treatment program be implemented. For example, insecticide used to treat chinch bugs is not effective on grubs.  Before applying expensive control treatments it is necessary to know what insects need to be controlled so that time and money are not wasted treating the wrong insect.

If you are thinking about installing a new plant or tree, please consult with your Account Manager at Estate Landscaping. There are several plants and trees that may be susceptible to insect and disease problems. Your Account Manager will be able to advise you on a landscape design that is most resistant to problem insects.

Estate’s Certified Pest Control Operators will be able to spot check your property and correctly identify and treat problem insects. Please call Estate today if you would like and evaluation of your landscaping.

Estate Planning Issues for Generation X

Estate Planning Issues for Generation X

Summary: Generation X (those born between the mid-1960s and late-1970s) comprises a significant part of the population, and, as Siedentopf Law explains has its own specific estate planning issues related to family, personal assets, and business investments.

Right in between the headline-making Baby Boomer and Millennial generations is an age group known as Generation X.  These individuals were born anywhere between the mid-1960s all the way to the late 1970s.  While this specific demographic may be unfamiliar to some, it comprises a significant part of the population.  According to a study conducted by Harvard University’s Joint Center for Housing Studies, there are approximately 82 million “Gen X’ers” living in the U.S. right now.  Most of this group is not yet old enough to retire; however, there are some estate planning issues that they might want to consider.

Traditional Estate Planning Documents

As with any estate plan, there are a few essential documents which everyone should have in place.  Those items include a will, power of attorney, and a healthcare advance directive.  (For a detailed description of each, you can read our blog “What are the Must-Have Estate Planning Documents?”.  These documents allow people to control what happens to them, their family, and their property in case of incapacity or death.  A Generation X estate plan should provide for the possibility of incapacity.  It should also take into consideration the current economy and technological environment, especially when it comes to protecting a Generation X’ers family and personal assets.

Protecting Your Family

The age span of Generation X is anywhere between the mid-30s to early-50s; accordingly, their families (if they have children) may be younger, or could already be adults themselves.  If you are taking care of a child, it is important to have an estate plan in place that protects them.  For younger children, you should have a Last Will and Testament that designates a guardian (should both parents die or become incapacitated) and ensures your child’s inheritance is secure.  You can also name a standby guardian – someone who would take care of your child if you are alive, but unable to care for them yourself.  In addition to a will, Generation X’ers should also consider protecting their family via a life insurance policy.  There are a number of policy options available, with benefits usually protected from creditors.

Protecting Your Personal Assets

Unlike its predecessors, Generation X is not limited to traditional assets such as real estate and stocks.  This group has a mix of tangible and technological assets.  For the more traditional assets, like retirement accounts and 401(k) programs, the Generation X’ers should make sure that they have identified all of the accounts from previous employers and that the beneficiary designations on those accounts are up to date.  For real property, Gen X’ers should make sure all of their assets are correctly titled (click here for our guide on property titling).  You might want to use a trust for any real property outside of Georgia – this will enable you to avoid probating the property in that other state.  If you are using a trust in your estate planning, be sure to re-title all of those assets in the name of the trust.

As social media becomes a more prevalent part of Generation X’s daily life, their digital assets also have become an area of growing importance.  Estate planning documents should include what happens to a Gen X’s email accounts, social media profiles, and online file storage if that person passes away.  The documents should list all of the digital assets and name a person(s) who will manage those accounts.  (Click here for our blog on digital assets and estate planning).

Protecting Your Business and Financial Investments

Some members of Generation X are just beginning to establish their career and professional reputation.  Others are more established businesspeople and entrepreneurs.  No matter their choice of employment or number of year in the field, Generation X has several options available when it comes to protecting its business and financial investments.  A trust, for example, can protect assets from creditors of later beneficiaries while still enabling a person to maintain control and access to his or her wealth.  Some of the recommended trusts for this generational group include: Life Insurance Trust (owns life insurance and gives the proceeds excellent creditor protection), Self-Settled Trust (creator of trust is also beneficiary), Charitable Lead Annuity Trust (provides for income tax deductions while spreading out contributions), or a Revocable Trust (hold assets for your own benefit during lifetime, with remaining assets going to designated beneficiaries after death).  If you decide to create one of these trusts, make sure to consult with an attorney to make sure the trust is fully funded, and that anything that is not transferred into the trust during your lifetime will make it into the trust eventually.

The Hollywood Foreign Press, the small group behind the Golden Globe Awards, has less than 100 members yet holds outsized influence in Hollywood.

That influence has come under fire in recent months when it was revealed that of those 90, not a single member was Black, while subsequent revelations sexual harassment and racist and sexist remarks from the group’s members continue raise problems for the HFPA.

So far, the group’s response has basically been a promise to do better, something that Netflix content guru Ted Sarandos announcing he was pulling all Netflix content from HFPA-related activities until the group demonstrates the concrete measures it plans to take to address its “systemic diversity and inclusion challenges.”

RELATED: Mark Ruffalo, Netflix’s Ted Sarandos Call Out HFPA Over ‘Crucial Issues’

Meanwhile, actor Mark Ruffalo likewise responded on Friday, telling Deadline that he “cannot feel proud or happy about being a recipient of this [Golden Globe] award.”

Now, Ruffalo’s “Avengers” co-star Scarlett Johansson is likewise jointing the boycott — something she revealed she’d already self-instituted years earlier.

“As an actor promoting a film, one is expected to participate in awards season by attending press conferences as well as awards shows,” Johansson said in her statement, as reported by Deadline.

“In the past, this has often meant facing sexist questions and remarks by certain HFPA members that bordered on sexual harassment. It is the exact reason why I, for many years, refused to participate in their conferences,” Johansson continued.

RELATED: HFPA Commits To ‘At Least 13 Per Cent’ Membership Being Black Journalists Following Diversity Controversy

“The HFPA is an organization that was legitimized by the likes of Harvey Weinstein to amass momentum for Academy recognition, and the industry followed suit,” she added. “Unless there is necessary fundamental reform within the organization, I believe it is time that we take a step back from the HFPA and focus on the importance and strength of unity within our unions and the industry as a whole.”

Thank You Max!

A huge thank you to Max Stahl for choosing to support ECBC for his school’s 8th Grade Community Project! A middle schooler in El Segundo, Max has been working on collecting books and funds for ECBC in various ways. He set up a book drive at his old elementary school’s book fair, placed a collection box outside of his home to collect more books within his neighborhood, collected funds by running a GoFundMe campaign, and started his own book review blog with an associated wish list on Amazon so his blog readers could purchase books to donate. An impressively comprehensive effort for one eight grader!

In total, Max’s book-raising and fundraising resulted in 144 new, high-quality books for ECBC’s Lending Library, Gifting Library, and Read+Think+Thrive Boxes for kids newly diagnosed with cancer (with a focus on allocating his funds to purchasing books for book boxes for middle- and high-schoolers). Also, Max used some of the funds to purchase 100 reading lights, which will be added to older’ kids’ Read+Think+Thrive Boxes.

Even though Max has completed his school project, he plans to continue writing his book review blog and collecting book donations through that. ECBC supporters, this is a thoughtful, well-written blog by a smart avid teen reader…CLICK HERE to check it out, and CLICK HERE to access Max’s Wish List. All titles that Max reviews and asks for via his wish list would make for fantastic donations to ECBC’s library collections!

Thank you Max for your hard work, terrific contribution, and your plan to continue to support ECBC beyond school or any formal requirements!!

Ethics Education for Children

Enhancing children's innate ability to make positive contributions

Issue Nº 3 - March 2014
Dear friends,

Welcome to the March edition of the Arigatou International - Ethics Education Newsletter.

This year Arigatou International Geneva embarks in several exciting projects to continue disseminating, resourcing and developing its ethics education initiative.  After the Interfaith Council meeting held in December 2013 clear recommendations were provided to the Secretariat to strengthen the training area on the Learning to Live Together Programme, work more purposely with formal education, mainstream the use of ethics education into other areas and thematic issues, and develop additional resources.

During 2014 we will be launching an e-learning platform for facilitators of the Learning to Live Together that aims to connect facilitators from all over the world, share experiences and good practices and deepen the knowledge on ethics education, contributing to the improvement of our training programs.  This year we are also starting a new initiative to strengthen family systems through ethics education and pilot projects will be initiated in several locations.  A Monitoring and Evaluation process is being put in place to understand better the impact of our training programs and ultimately their impact on children and youth.  Stories from the field will be filling up our web pages and newsletter showcasing the great work that trainers, facilitators, children and youth are doing to promote learning to live together around the world.

This year when we celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the 20th Anniversary of the International Year of the Family, the Ethics Education Initiative of Arigatou International wants to make a contribution not only to the improvement of quality education for children and the creation of safer and more inclusive environments for them to grow and develop but also to raise awareness about the need and importance of nurturing values that support intercultural and interfaith learning, dialogue and collaboration.

The news and stories presented in this issue, ranging from international capacity building meetings, training workshops, testimonies from the field and voices of youth, are an invitation for you to continue working with us, be inspired and to get in touch with us to develop new partnerships and collaborations.

In peace,

Maria Lucia Uribe
Director Arigatou International - Geneva
Inside this issue
By Dr. Heidi Hadsell, Member of the Interfaith Council

Why is Ethics Education important for promoting interfaith learning and dialogue?

Ethics education promotes interfaith learning and dialogue in many direct and indirect ways. Perhaps most importantly, because the content of ethics has  so much to do with individual or group understanding of  responsibilities to and relationships with other people, ethics education encourages  our children and youth to think about these relationships at a time in their lives when they are open to and curious about other people, and eager to work out how to relate to them.

Ethics education begins in the family. From an early age children informally learn their basic values, and this learning helps teach children who they are and what the values are  that are central to their families and traditions and cultures.  Grounded in the family, the world of the child expands from the family   and broadens in concentric circles as the child grows in understanding and  experiences.
Voices of Youth
What Youth are saying about ethis and the issues that affect them

In October 2013, an online discussion forum was launched on the Ethics Education for Children website. The forum welcomed the voices of young people from all around the world that had participated in Learning to Live Together programs in the past.

Nicolas Meslaoui from Belgium, Bissan Salman from Israel and Ornella Barros from Colombia were the three youth from the GNRC who were invited to write a thought-provoking article about ethics and the issues they are involved in either at the academic or working level.  The three of them invited the readers to become more proactive in their communities.

The open platform gave the opportunity to the youth not only to express their points of view, but also to engage in a constructive and dynamic dialogue through the replies of other youth. These enriching interactions and the power of these discussions about ethics can be reflected on the following metaphor of a tree.

An International Capacity Building Workshop titled "Weaving Stories of Change" on the Learning to Live Together Programme held in Ponte de Lima, Portugal

A capacity building workshop for trainers of the Learning to Live Together Programme was held in Ponte de Lima, Portugal from 4 – 9 March 2014.

20 participants including international trainers, members of the Interfaith Council on Ethics Education for Children and Arigatou International Geneva staff were brought together to discuss and reflect on the educational framework of the Learning to Live Together Programme and to deepen the understanding of its key concepts and approaches.  The meeting also provided a space for the participants to share stories of success and challenges faced in their training programs and recommendations to improve the work we do with facilitators.

GNRC Training Workshop on the Learning to Live Together Programme held in Bosnia & Herzegovina

An International Basic Training Workshop on the Learning to Live Together was organized in Sarajevo – Bosnia & Herzegovina on the 20 - 23 February by Mosaik Association - GNRC Bosnia & Herzegovina with the support of GNRC Europe and the Arigatou International - Ethics Education for Children office in Geneva.

25 participants came together from Bosnia & Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro, Croatia, Spain and Portugal from different cultural, religious (Muslims, Christians) and professional (teachers, psychologists, social workers, volunteers who work with children - GNRC members) backgrounds. The objectives of the workshop were twofold: 1) To develop competencies in the participants to use the Learning to Live Together programme and 2) To strengthen the GNRC network in Europe, empowering people who are working for children’s wellbeing in different GNRC activities.

GNRC Ethics Education Training Workshop in Ayagualo, El Salvador

From 19-23 January 2014, a Learning to Live Together Workshop was held in Ayagualo (El Salvador) with participants from the GNRC El Salvador committee composed of representatives of different Christian Churches, Muslims, Indigenous People and secular organizations. El Salvador is one of the locations where the Learning To Live Together programme was tested during its development.

During the workshop, participants had the opportunity to experience firsthand the methodologies and pedagogical tools for designing educational processes using the manual. They were also introduced to the concept of “Community of Practice” and El Salvador is set out to be a pilot location for the implementation of the monitoring and evaluation process of the Learning to Live Together programme.

First GNRC Regional Basic Training Workshop for Facilitators on the Learning to Live Together Programme held in Africa

A Basic Training Workshop for Facilitators on the use of the Learning to Live Together manual was held in Nairobi, Kenya from 13 - 15 January in collaboration with the GNRC. More than 40 participants from different parts of the continent and different faiths, working with children and youth, were part of the workshop.

The workshop aimed at training GNRC national focal points and their representatives who directly work with children and young people on the approach, methodology and resources of the Learning To Live Together Ethics Education programme to strengthen their work with children and young people in inter-religious and inter-cultural contexts in their communities.

  Did you know?

Did you know that the Ethics Education Initiative of Arigatou International is developing an e-learning platform to support the work of facilitators in all regions? The platform will provide support to all those involved in the implementation of the Learning to Live Together programme as part of an initiative to encourage both local and global collaboration and support among facilitators using the programme. It will be an intuitive online space where discussion, exchange, collaboration and learning about Learning to Live Together can build community and continuity among facilitators. It will stimulate a deeper understanding of the key concepts and educational approach of Learning to Live Together and provide outlets for creativity and innovation concerning its implementation.

Ms Valerie De Pauw is in charge of bringing the project to fruition and a first pilot is expected to be launched in June2014.
We will share more information in the next newsletter.

  Strengthening Family Systems through Ethics Education

Arigatou International Geneva is initiating the development of a complementary resource to the Learning to Live Together Programme aimed to families and to strengthen positive parenting.  This initiative responds to the need to support the development of safe environments for the children and youth who go through the Learning to Live Together programs.

The Strengthening Family Systems initiative will be based on the Arigatou International ethics educational framework and will provide a platform to contribute to tackling some of family issues that affect children's sound and healthy development.

Pilot projects will be initiated in several locations around the world during the next months and it is expected that in 2015 a module will be developed and widely implemented based on the inputs and insights gained from these projects.

During 2014 we will showcase several of these initiatives as a contribution to the twentieth anniversary of the International Year of the Family, which will offer an opportunity to refocus on the role of families in development, share good practices in family policy making and review challenges faced by families and recommendations.

Stay tuned and do not hesitate to contact Ms Vera Leal, Program Officer of Arigatou International Geneva, if you are interested to collaborate with us on this important initiative.

  GNRC Community of Practice on the Learning to Live Together Programme

A GNRC Community of Practice on the Learning to Live Together Programme was launched in El Salvador in January 2014 during the Ethics Education workshop.  The newly formed Community of Practice has already met twice after the training Workshop to follow up on the commitments made and their implementation plans. The GNRC member institutions are committed to a 10 month implementation of the programme and to a systematic monitoring and evaluation process.

30 participants from several geographical focal groups in El Salvador that will be implementing the Learning to Live Together Programe were present in the meeting to share their plans and provide feedback to each other. A common calendar of activities has been established, activities have been initiated in several places and training days are under planning.

The committment of the GNRC institutions to develop this community of practice and ensure the implementation of their plans is surely an example for other countries and a model of interfaith and ecumenical collaboration to deal with violence that affect children and youth.

Some of the testimonies from the participants:

"We are very enthusiastic.  We have already initiated our work and have changed some of the names of our activities to adapt properly to our own context, the first impressions of the youth have been very positive". Hortensia del Villar, Nun from Ángel de la Guarda (Popotlán).

"We are in a school break at the moment but we are redesigning our plans to be able to take off as soon as possible" Professor Raúl from Izalco.

"I initiated with the four values with 10 leaders from other Catholic churches and they want more, my plan is to form other facilitators as multipliers" Salvador Magaña from Pastoral Juvenil Arquidiocesana.

  Facilitators implementing the Learning to Live Together Programme

“The Learning to Live Together was really a great tool. The experience of the basic training was great and inspiring. I have used the programme in two different occasions since I returned from the Training in Nairobi in January.
I must say, that the Learning to Live Together has being a great tool for me and an interesting one in carrying out my programs and activities. I have used the manual with the Young Catholic Students’ Sustainable Environment and Peace Building program and during the meeting of the National Executive Committtee of all the major Catholic Youth groups in Nigeria.”

Porvoo and Meissen on the Canary Islands

The Revds Tom Barnfather and Knut Kaldestad

The Porvoo and Meissen ecumenical agreements are alive and well across our diocese. One example of our close cooperation is on the island of Lanzarote where our own priest, Fr Tom Barnfather, and the priest of the Norwegian Church and the pastors of German Protestant Church meet regularly for prayer, mutual support, consultation and fellowship.

The Porvoo Agreement brings the Anglican Churches of Britain and Ireland into communion with the Nordic and Baltic Lutheran Churches (except in Latvia) and the Meissen Agreement permits mutual Eucharistic hospitality between the Church of England and the EKD, (German Protestant Church).

On a recent pastoral visit to Lanzarote I was able to have some conversation with the Norwegian and German pastors who told me about their own ministry, which is quite similar to the work of our priests in Spain. Like the Church of England in Europe, the Norwegian and German churches provide spiritual homes and pastoral care for their respective diasporas and visitors, as well as providing a cultural and social meeting place. We joined in one of the Norwegian cultural traditions following our meeting: coffee and waffles!

The Norwegian Priest in Lanzarote is the Revd Knut Kaldestad and the German pastors are a husband and wife team, the Revds Rainer Wutzkowsky and Renate Sturm-Wutzkowsky. They were also very keen to learn about Bishop Justin Welby, the newly appointed Archbishop of Canterbury.

InnoDB is a MySQL storage engine, which has been gaining popularity lately, because it provides a significantly better overall performance and a faster crash recovery in comparison with the default engine that’s used by MySQL – MyISAM. InnoDB is preferred by a lot of web developers that run highly scalable apps, as it works better with huge data volumes, while it keeps the server load low. Also, it locks only a single row in the database in case any information should be modified, while lots of other engines lock the entire database table and therefore need more time to carry out several sequential tasks. Last, but not least, InnoDB observes the "all-or-nothing" rule – if the entire data modification process cannot be completed successfully for some reason, the action is rolled back to prevent confusion or the loss of data. Magento and the latest editions of Joomla are two examples of popular PHP-driven software applications that have shifted over to InnoDB.

InnoDB in Cloud Hosting

While InnoDB is either a paid upgrade or it is not available at all with many other web hosting providers, it’s included in the standard set of services that we are offering with our cloud hosting plans. If you would like to make use of an open-source script-powered app that needs InnoDB particularly, in order to be activated and to work correctly, you won’t experience any difficulties since the InnoDB database storage engine is available on our in-house developed cloud website hosting platform. No matter if you create a brand new database and install an application manually or take advantage of our 1-click application installer software instrument, InnoDB will be selected automatically by our system as the default engine if the app needs InnoDB rather than MyISAM. In addition to the exceptional database failure recovery that InnoDB is offering, we also perform regular backups of all databases, so we can quickly recover any MySQL database in your shared hosting account.

Daft Punk Finish Up 24 New Songs for Upcoming Tron Sequel, Plan "Tron-Themed Events"

Daft Punk Finish Up 24 New Songs for Upcoming Tron Sequel, Plan 'Tron-Themed Events'
Following their recent 8-bit tribute, nerds across the world have now been given another reason to love legendary French touch duo Daft Punk. We reported it earlier this year, and it's been confirmed that the group will be scoring director Joseph Kosinski's Tron sequel, which apparently has the title Tron: Legacy.

According to Movieline [via The Playlist], Kosinski recently gave some insight into the situation at the San Diego Comic Con. The director described his first meeting with Daft Punk, which was over a pancake breakfast in Los Angeles, with the two Frenchmen apparently wearing their helmets. Later, when asked if the robotic duo would tour in support of the release, Kosinski said there would certainly be "Daft Punk Tron-themed events on the horizon."

According to ComingSoon.net, Daft Punk have recorded 24 new songs for the film.

Tron: Legacy is expected to come out in 2010. Filming for the movie began in April, and is taking place in Vancouver.

What may or may not be new music by Daft Punk:

Queen Victoria and John Brown

I have just watched. 'Mrs Brown' the story of Queen Victoria and her ghillie/manservant, John Brown who brought her out of mourning following the death of her beloved Albert. It has a great cast including Dame Judi Dench, Billy Connelly a
nd Geoffrey Palmer. I'm a Royalist and a lover of history but this film didn't quite do it for me I'm afraid.

Because Brown's diaries were destroyed by the Royal Family (Victoria's son and heir) we will never know the true relationship between Victoria and Brown although rumour has it that they were secretly married and that she bore him a daughter. Even if that is not true, it's said the lady had a ferocious sexual appetite so I'd doubt that Brown got off lightly! Oh to have been a fly on the wall!

Use by Date

Hillary Clinton is 10 months younger than I am.

If she can hold down the position of the United States Secretary of State at her age, will someone please tell me why I am being put out to grass because eighteen months ago in a restructuring of the organization, some stupid person copied and pasted from another company's HR policy that people like me have to retire when they hit a certain age  The policy, according to some,  is 'not written in stone' but that is of no consolation to me as I reluctantly count down the months, days, hours, minutes and seconds until the 31 December 2012.  Oh make no mistake, I have my feelers out and there have been several discussions but after almost nine years of blood, sweat and tears together with a passion and love for my job, as the time to clearing my desk and shutting up shop grows nearer, my heart sinks deeper and deeper.

I am sure some people would love to be in my position but I am not ready to sit on a beach and toast my toes - I can do that in my spare time!

You may all be in for one long moan between now and December- either that or an interesting narrative as to how the red tape works!

I saw you
Among those people
Not ordinary people
Like you and me

I called you
You didn't hear
Maybe you pretended
That you didn't see

I reached out
To touch you
You didn't move
To take my hand

You stood there
Cold and distant
Yet perfectly smooth
Cobalt blue crystal

I cried out
Called your name
My pillow's wet
From dreaming tears

Monday 3 September 2012

Good Monday morning friends,

I came into work this morning,  a great deal earlier than I normally do.  It was a wonderful drive in with very little traffic (compared to what would have been an hour later) on the road out of town.  The same could not be said of the traffic going into town.

It was 6.10am and I couldn't resist capturing the sun coming up with my phone!

Someone on the Internet.....................

I don't normally write about cyberspace crazies who try to upset my world with their rantings.  I learned long ago not to play house with those people because they would inevitably disturb my spirit.

So I was somewhat taken aback a couple of weeks ago when I was attacked on my own Face Book page for having posted some of my thoughts and feelings on the Republican nominee in the race for the US Presidency.  I poked fun at Romney's gaffes whilst he was in London and Israel but have not written or commented at all on his stance on abortion.  I did however share an abc news article on Todd Akin's remarks about the ability of a woman's body to shut itself down in order to prevent pregnancy in the event that she is being raped.  I could not let that one go without saying :

"Whether you are Pro Life or not, rape is rape and this man needs to keep his mouth shut. A woman's body can shut itself off from becoming pregnant after a rape?!! He makes George W Bush look positively intelligent. Misspoke? Idiot!"

Neither could I stop myself from asking if it was known that in 31 US States if a woman identifies her rapist, the rapist automatically has parental rights. If the woman wishes to abort he is entitled to have a say in that and if she does have the child and decides to go for adoption he also has a say in that.

Well who told me to say that?!!

I was told amongst other things that I didn't know what I was talking about, that I should stay out of American politics and called a weirdo by someone who said she couldn't understand for the life of her why I, as a foreigner,  would take such an interest in her country's politics adding that she would never be interested in the politics of my country.  There were a lot of insults and name calling from her so of course, I deleted and blocked her.

Why am I miffed?  Because one of the people who attacked me is a face to face friend. I could not believe what he wrote on my page to which I replied that if he did not like my views then he should stay away, not read what I have to say and not insult my friends because they happen to have different views to his.  He was an ardent  Obama supporter and campaigner in the last election and has since gone over to the other side.  I was far more disturbed though by the female who attacked me. She has been a 'friend' since 360 days and it was during that time that I provided the shoulder when two of her on line love affairs went bad.  I did not agree with what she was doing but at no time did I ever pass a comment or make a judgement because really, her personal life was none of my business.  I did however put up with her endless e mails, private messages, tears, rantings and ravings for quite some time.  So the type of insults from this woman who professes to be a Christian came as quite a shock.  I always knew that she could be somewhat difficult but never dreamed for one minute she would say what she did.

I am a political animal and I believe more people should have an interest in what goes on in the world instead of being confined to their own space.  I follow what happens politically in countries other than my own very closely.  I said years and years ago that Afghanistan and Pakistan would be major problem countries for the rest of the world and I make no apology for my interest in US politics because what happens in that country ultimately affects the rest of the world.  I also believe that people can disagree without becoming disagreeable but when personal insults fly then it becomes a horse of a different colour.

11 Things to do when a Bike is not Starting After Long Time?

Bike is not Starting After Long Time

When the weather becomes better and it’s time to bring out your motorcycle from storage, the excitement to go riding is real. However, your motorcycle may not start and that could be a major buzzkill.

Many of you may wonder why this happens. You can do these things if your motorcycle is not starting after staying at one place for a very long time:

  • Check the Killswitch
  • Check the Gasoline
  • Check the Clutch
  • Try the Kickstart
  • Check Fuel Valve Position
  • Plunger Switch
  • Check Battery Status
  • Check Spark Plugs and Ignition System
  • Check the Fuel Injection System
  • Check the Fuel Supply
  • Check the Intake and Exhaust
  • Consult Professional Help

Motorcycles are machines that are designed for constant use in steady temperature ranges. They are not meant to be stored and can break down due to long periods of inactivity. Read on if you want to know more about these above-mentioned tips in detail.

What to do when bike is not starting after a long time?

Machines are designed for regular use. They do not cope well with long periods of inactivity. Motorcycles are no different. Poor weather conditions or other minor issues with the motorcycle may prevent you from riding for extended periods of time.

When it is time to resume riding, the bike will encounter the major problem of not starting. This is normal, but if attention is not paid to the various probable causes, you could end up with an even bigger problem that will need you to take your bike to a garage. This often will result in a hefty bill that you will not be happy to pay.

If you are looking to avoid this costly repair job, here are a few simple tips from our end that will help you get your motorcycle up and running!

Check the Killswitch

The killswitch is used to shut the engine off without turning off the ignition system. This is very helpful for short stops at a traffic signal or in standstill traffic. However, the killswitch prevents the rider from starting the engine when it is engaged.

Check the Killswitch

Turning off the killswitch is the simple solution to bring your motorcycle back to life. The killswitch can even catch experienced riders off guard and make them feel very silly when they discover it. Checking the killswitch must be amongst the first things you should check if your motorcycle has issues while starting.

Check the Gasoline

Most riders top up their gasoline before putting the bike into storage. This is done to prevent moisture from accumulating on the walls of the fuel tank, which leads to rusting. However, the gasoline severely degrades over long periods.

This involves the evaporation of volatile components like ethanol. When you start the bike again, the fuel components are not in the right ratios and could thus lead to improper ignition. This will prevent the bike from starting as a result.

Check the Gasoline

Another issue could be with the use of fuel stabilizers. Stabilizers are used to preserve the fuel stored in the tanks. However, these stabilizers have a certain period beyond which they render the fuel unusable.

In the above-mentioned cases, the ideal solution would be to drain the tank and have the tank cleaned to ensure the old gasoline is completely removed. Top up the tank with fresh gasoline after you allow the tank to dry. This prevents moisture from contaminating the fuel.

The last and most obvious reason why your motorcycle may not start is that there isn’t enough gas in the tank. Topping up your gas is all you’ll need to get your motorcycle going in this case.

Check the Clutch

Amateur riders may forget to engage the clutch while starting the bike. Some bikes require the use of the clutch to start the bike even when the bike is in neutral. However, over long periods of storage, the clutch switch may disengage. In these cases, riders may have to reset the clutch by pumping it repeatedly till they feel the clutch engage.

If not, there may be damage to the clutch switch and a replacement will be the only solution. However, clutch disengagement can also mean an issue with the clutch plate that may need professional assistance to rectify the issue.

Try the Kickstart

Most motorbikes come with a kick start that allows you to start the engine without using the electrical systems. It is the most rudimentary, yet the most effective way to start an engine. On using the kick start, the crankshaft rotates, effectively bringing the engine core back to life.

Try the Kickstart

This will also free up the clutch if they got stick to one another, and it also moves the engine oil inside the engine bay. Try multiple free kicks on the kickstart and you are highly likely to get your motorcycle to start. If it doesn’t, your motorcycle could have other issues that we help you identify in the coming tips.

Check Fuel Valve Position

The fuel valve on your motorcycle controls the flow of gasoline to your engine. When your motorcycle is not in use for a while, it is recommended to shut off the fuel supply to protect the fuel lines.

Occasionally, riders tend to forget to turn the fuel valve to the ON position. This results in the engine being starved of fuel, which could prevent the engine from starting. Once the fuel valve is in the ON position, it will take a few free kicks to get the engine sufficient fuel to be able to start.

Plunger Switch

The plunger switch is connected to a sensor that is located on the side stand. A modern-day safety feature, it ensures that the ignition system does not get activated until the side stand has been retracted.

This is to prevent riders from losing control of the bike due to the stand throwing them off balance while riding.

— Also read: 10 THINGS to Keep in Mind While Motorcycling in the Winter

Retracting the side stand should allow you to start your motorcycle. However, if the bike still doesn’t go into the ignition mode, you might have to check the plunger switch for possible loose contacts.

Check Battery Status

The battery is a critical element in maintaining the electrical systems on the motorcycle. For the motorcycle to get started, the battery supplies electricity to the starter motor. However, this motor requires a rather high voltage to get the motor started.

A weak or dead battery will not be able to provide this required voltage and may thus result in your motorcycle being unable to start.

Check Battery Status

Check the battery to find out if it is weak, completely dead, or has loose connections. Loose connections at the terminals can result in an irregular voltage supply. Classic signs of a weak battery include a softer horn and reduced headlight intensity.

Weak batteries can be recharged while riding. However, a dead battery will result in your horn and headlights not working at all. This means it is time to change the battery of your motorcycle.

If your motorcycle is provided with only an electrical start, we would recommend you to get your battery checked regularly and change it when it is weak. This is to prevent your motorcycle from being inoperable when the battery completely fails.

Check Spark Plugs and Ignition System

Spark plugs are the components in the engine that provide the heat required for the combustion of fuel. The spark plug electrodes get worn out due to the vaporization of the molecules of the electrodes.

Over long periods of time, this electrode could be worn out to the point where the spark plug gap increases and causes improper ignition of the fuel.

Check Spark Plugs and Ignition System

Signs that your spark plug is the issue include the check engine light coming on, poor fuel economy, and cylinder misfires. While starting, you may encounter a hard start. This means the fuel supply is increased due to improper vaporization, which results in a long crank rotation before the motorcycle starts.

— Also read: Important Things to do When your Motorcycle Won’t Start in the Cold

Changing the spark plug is a relatively simple process that requires very basic tools. However, it is important to clean the spark plug threads and channels to remove the debris from the previous plugs.

Check the Fuel Injection System

Fuel injection systems provide better performance and efficiency to the motorcycle. It optimizes the fuel mixture, allowing for cleaner combustion and more power output. Fuel injection systems are very robust and do not break down easily.

However, on rare occasions, the fuel injectors may also encounter issues that prevent your engine from receiving fuel. This can result in the motorcycle not starting.

Improper Powertrain Control Module (PCM) triggering can prevent the injectors from opening at the right time. In extreme cases, the PCM itself may fail. The solution to this problem includes replacing the injector circuit fuse and the wiring to the injectors.

If these problems do not resolve your issues, it is best to seek professional assistance to prevent further damage to your fuel injection system.

Check the Fuel Supply

The fuel supply lines connect the tank to the engine and provide a path for the continuous supply of fuel. The fuel system includes a petcock, which controls the flow of the fuel and helps you switch to the reserve tank when required.

In some cases, gunk from the petrol tank accumulates on the petcock and clogs the fuel supply. Cleaning the petcock ensures the clogging is cleared and the fuel supply is restored.

In some cases, the line supplying the gasoline may develop leaks or may have completely snapped. This could be due to wear or in some extreme cases, due to insects and small animals biting open the fuel lines.

In such cases, sealing the line with duct tape offers a temporary fix to help you start your motorcycle. Getting the fuel line replaced will ensure better performance and help you improve your mileage.

Check the Intake and Exhaust

The intake provides the air required for the combustion of the fuel within the engine. Over long periods of use, dirt and debris may accumulate in the air intakes which may prevent sufficient levels of oxygen from entering the combustion chamber.

Check the Intake and Exhaust

A clogged air intake is more troublesome during starting as there is no airstream for the motorcycle to obtain oxygen from. Thus, it could prevent the motorcycle from starting.

Cleaning the air filter should solve the issue in most cases. If not, you may have to replace your air filter to ensure a smooth flow of air to the engine.

The exhaust ensures the waste byproducts of the combustion process are removed efficiently. However, in colder weather conditions, the exhaust vents provide warmth and comfort to small animals and insects, which clogs the exhaust vents and the muffler.

As a result, it could cause the engine to misfire and not start. In such cases, check the tailpipes for possible clogging and clear the clogs to ensure the motorcycle starts without any further issues.

Consult Professional Help

If none of the above tips have helped you start your motorcycle, it is highly likely that your motorcycle has encountered issues that involve the intricate workings of its various systems. Tackling such issues requires professional know-how.

This means you will have to take your motorcycle to the nearest garage for a thorough inspection, which will help discover and fix the issues. Though it may seem inconvenient and expensive, a professional solution may also be a permanent fix.

This will ensure that you do not face a similar issue in the near future and you are good to go whenever, wherever.

Sex differences in blood pressure response to intermittent hypoxia in rats.

Carmen Hinojosa-Laborde, Steven W. Mifflin

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

54 Scopus citations

Intermittent hypoxia is used to mimic the arterial hypoxemia that occurs during sleep apnea. The present study examined the blood pressure and heart rate responses to exposure to intermittent hypoxia in male rats and in female rats before and after ovariectomy. Rats were instrumented with telemetry transmitters and blood pressure, heart rate, and activity measured during 7 days of exposure to intermittent hypoxia (3 minutes of normoxia [21% oxygen] alternating with 3 minutes 10% oxygen between 8 am and 4 pm, remainder of day at normoxia). Blood pressure increased in males, females, and ovariectomized females in response to 7 days of intermittent hypoxia during the hours of exposure to hypoxia. Blood pressure increased less in intact females (average change in blood pressure 1.6+/-0.6 mm Hg, n=11) than in females studied after ovariectomy (5.1+/-1.1 mm Hg, n=6) or males (5.4+/-1.0 mm Hg, n=10). This elevated blood pressure persisted throughout the remainder of the day when the animals were not exposed to intermittent hypoxia and remained significantly attenuated in female rats. Ovariectomy abolished the protection against the elevated blood pressure response to intermittent hypoxia in females. Heart rate increased only in males, and only during the period of the day associated with intermittent hypoxia. Female rats were protected against this tachycardia independent of the ovarian hormones. These results indicate that females are protected from the hypertensive and tachycardia effects of intermittent hypoxia.
