Great Tips to Have a Successful Marriage

This is maybe a standout amongst the most significant inquiries in all of eternity…how to have a fruitful marriage? In the first place, we should characterize “fruitful.” An effective marriage is one in which the two gatherings are cheerful, fulfilled, and satisfied. As such, just staying un-separated does not imply that a marriage is effective. livro casamento de sucesso

You’ve likely heard a wide range of effective marriage tips. For instance, spouses ought to recognize that their wives are constantly right and disclose to her you cherish her regular. Spouses ought to urge their husbands to have “fellow time” with their pals and not pester them about each easily overlooked detail. You’ve presumably heard that you ought to never go to bed distraught another mainstream goody. Regardless of whether you take after these sorts of counsel, which are not off course by any stretch of the imagination, despite everything you’ll have to know how and why these tips are useful.

An effective marriage is tied in with making a strong establishment for the relationship, which was presumably for the most part set in stone before you even got hitched, amid your dating and engagement time. I won’t bore you with the temperances of put stock in, correspondence, bolster, dedication, genuineness, a solid sexual coexistence, and obviously adore. What an effective marriage needs, nonetheless, the same amount of as the greater part of that stuff is a nitty gritty comprehension of how the contrary sex capacities.

Men need to be valued and regarded. Ladies need to be revered and put on platforms. Men pull away amid pressure. Ladies look for help of their accomplices amid stretch. Men need to know they are free and that the “enclosure” of the marriage isn’t bolted closed. Ladies need to know they are respected and uncommon and that their spouses will be there when required. She needs to discuss her issues. He takes care of his issues alone. He needs to feel sure that he gives what she needs effectively. She needs to not scrutinize and annoy in the event that she needs her man to be taking care of business in the relationship.

Considering this exceptionally concise, fundamental layout of the contrasts amongst men and ladies, there are a couple of more tips for a fruitful marriage you might need to add to your psychological rundown. Folks, get her blossoms or other attentive blessings (not family unit supplies!) for reasons unknown now and then. Young ladies, overlook most of the “little stuff” he doesn’t do (leaving the latrine cover up, leaving his socks on the floor, and so on) in the event that you need him to do the “enormous stuff” (spend his free day settling the grass cutter, repairing the rooftop amid a heavy deluge, and so on). Folks, never reveal to her she talks excessively. She needn’t bother with you to settle her issues simply hear them out. At the point when she’s finished talking, approve what she stated: “Amazing! That stinks! What a bummer.” Girls, he will be most joyful when you disclose to him the amount you acknowledge what he gives by being cheerful. A cheerful spouse with a grinning face and charming manner of speaking is the best thing on the planet to a wedded man.

MICDX - Matthews China Dividend Fund Institutional Class

Don't let mutual funds siphon away your returns.
Get our FREE Report: "Index Funds and ETFs – A Smarter Way To Invest"
Your Mutual Fund

Matthews China Dividend Fund Institutional Class (MICDX)
Expense Ratio: 1.31%
Expected Lifetime Fees: $37,778.13

The Matthews China Dividend Fund Institutional Class fund (MICDX) is a China Region fund started on 10/29/2010 and has $27.00 million in assets under management. The current manager has been running Matthews China Dividend Fund Institutional Class since 12/22/2009. The fund is rated by Morningstar. This fund does not charge 12b-1 fees.

MarketRiders Prefers The Following ETF

iShares Trust FTSE China 25 Index Fund (FXI)
Expense Ratio: 0.72%
Expected Lifetime Fees: $22,073.95

The iShares Trust FTSE China 25 Index Fund (FXI) is an Exchange Traded Fund. It is a "basket" of securities that index the China Region investment strategy and is an alternative to a China Region mutual fund. Fees are very low compared to a comparable mutual fund like Matthews China Dividend Fund Institutional Class because computers automatically manage the stocks.

The Following China Region Funds Have Lower Fees Than Matthews China Dividend Fund Institutional Class (MICDX). Why are these metrics important?
Mutual Fund Name Ticker Symbol Turnover Assets (M) Annual Fees
Columbia Greater China Z LNGZX 36.0% 212 1.23%
Fidelity Advisor China Region I FHKIX 87.0% 1,300 1.06%

Matthews China Fund Institutional Class MICFX 8.4% 2,100 0.96%
Matthews China Investor MCHFX 8.4% 2,100 1.13%

Search for a mutual fund by symbol or name:

Why Are These Metrics Important?

Turnover represents how much of a mutual fund's holdings are changed over the course of a year through buying and selling. Active mutual funds have an average turnover rate of about 85%, meaning that funds are turning over nearly all of their holdings every year. A high turnover means you could make lower returns because: 1) buying and selling stocks costs money through commissions and spreads and 2) the fund will distribute yearly capital gains which increases your taxes. Look for funds with turnover rates below 50%. For comparison, ETF turnover rates average around 10% or lower.

Generally, smaller funds do better than larger ones. The more assets in a mutual fund, the lower the chance that it will beat its index. Managers outperform an index by choosing stocks that are undervalued. In order to find these undervalued stocks, the manager has to know more than his competitors to develop an "edge." There are only a finite number of stocks a mutual fund manager can reasonably analyze and actively track to gain such a competitive edge. When the fund has more assets, the manager must analyze large companies because he needs to take larger positions. Large companies are more efficiently priced in the market and it becomes increasingly difficult to get an edge.

Making a World with One Hundred Things

Guatemalan coin purse (Archaeology and Anthropology)

Guatemalan coin purse (Archaeology and Anthropology)

Pop-Up Exhibition

Bard Graduate Center

38 West 86th Street, New York City

January 15 – 25, 2013

Exhibition Website:

Bookmark: Queen Seon Duk (Books and Manuscripts)

Bookmark: Queen Seon Duk (Books and Manuscripts)

Museum categories profoundly affect scholarly knowledge claims in an A to Z of disciplines, from anthropology to zoology. In the fall semester 2012 I taught a new seminar at the Bard Graduate Center, “Tangible Things: Observing, Collecting, Sorting” in which we examined the formation and uses of nearly fifty methodical collections. In addition, the seminar built its own comprehensive collection in the very same areas of enquiry.

Every week, for ten weeks, the nine students in the seminar and I each brought an item to class. Each thing related to the topic of study that week. The nine topics are Books and Manuscripts; Medicine; Botany; Mathematics, Physics, and Astronomy; Geology and Zoology; Archaeology and Anthropology; History; Commerce and Law; and Art. The tenth week was for ambiguous things, and things hard to classify. All are very modest, preferably found or purchased for not more than $5.

The exhibition website shows a grid of images of all one hundred things in the exhibition, from Common Milkweed seeds (Botany) to a chunk of rock brought back from Mount Everest (Geology and Zoology). Not all are literal or predictable: a store bag from Anthropologie is in the Archaeology and Anthropology section, and an eyeliner brush in Art. Clicking on any image in the grid leads to a larger image, a label, and a link to the collection (or category) of which it is a member, with a short text about that category, and links to the other nine things within it. The tenth category, Sort Them!, enhances an awareness of the multiplicity of possible sorting choices for many of the things in the nine defined categories. Sort Them! comprises things that are hard to place, or orphaned in some way, such as a closed padlock for which the owner has forgotten the combination.

Common Milkweed seedpod, Asclepius syriaca (Botany)

Common Milkweed seedpod, Asclepius syriaca (Botany)

Henry David Thoreau asked in Walden (1854): “Why do precisely these objects which we behold make a world?” This exhibition is explores how material things play roles in the constitution not of the world as we might seek to know it, as of worlds; for, as Thoreau observed with philosophical precision, the objects that we behold make not the world, but a world. In this exhibition, the “Tangible Things” seminar presents one such world.

The students in the seminar were Hadley Jensen, Suk Young Kang, Sarah Pickman, Sophie Pitman, Nicole Pulichene, Laura Speers, Edward Styles, Katherine Tycz, Meredyth Winter.

Career Planning for New MBA Admits

Congrats! You’ve been admitted to your dream business school. Classes don’t begin until fall, so you now have a number of different options for how you’re going to spend the next few months:

1.    Remain in your current job.
An MBA education is going to be expensive, so continuing to earn a paycheck makes good sense. However, as soon as your boss and others know that you’ll be leaving to attend b-school, you instantly become a “lame duck.” That means you’re less likely to get interesting, satisfying assignments that would enhance your experience and resume.

2.    Enroll in some classes.
You have a one-time chance to indulge in coursework that interests you. It might be a second language that makes you feel more worldly, or perhaps it’s a quant course that helps you prepare for the rigor of the upcoming MBA curriculum. But, the fact is that such studies don’t need to be full-time. You can probably accomplish this through evening classes or maybe even online programs completed at your pace.

3.    Take a lengthy vacation.
The sunny beaches of Tahiti, the cosmopolitan buzz of Shanghai, maybe trekking across Europe with a backpack. As enjoyable as those journeys sound, the fact is that they’re very expensive. Furthermore, extensive leisure travel won’t do much to bolster your resume. And, the fact is, most business schools offer even more attractive, valuable and cost-effective travel opportunities with MBA classmates after enrollment.

4.    Consider a pre-matriculation Internship.
Working this summer for two months in an industry, company, function and location of your choice could be the perfect way to make the most of your time and talents before starting MBA classes in the fall. Even if the internship is non-paid, you will strengthen your resume, avoid “lame duck” frustration and boredom, forge valuable new relationships, position yourself for a future full-time job, and expand your personal and professional perspective.

If you already have contacts at target companies that offer pre-matriculation internships for MBA admits, reach out to them now to get the ball rolling. However, if you find it challenging to produce opportunities that align with your specific priorities, then consider engaging a professional placement service, such as that offered by The MBA Exchange, to identify multiple positions for you to consider.

5.    Start networking… now.
The day that MBA classes begin, you will be consumed by classwork, student clubs, and new friendships. But, before you know it, the pursuit of summer internships will be underway. So, why not get a head start now in exploring new industries and making yourself known to management at top companies? Here are two ways to help make this happen. First, attend a free webinar on “Job Search Prep for MBA Admits” on February 15, 2017, sponsored by The MBA Exchange and Poets & Quants. Second, register for the amazing “PreMBA Networking Festival” in New York City on May 11-12, 2017. These resources can help place you well ahead of your future classmates in being prepared, focused and connected on day one.
If the broader topic of “career planning” makes you feel somewhat overwhelmed, no worries. As an MBA admit, the number and variety of professional options that await you are almost infinite. If you’d like to have an expert in your corner, to help you anticipate, prioritize and pursue the best of those options, our career advisory professionals are waiting to hear from you. These former career services professionals and top MBA grads have been in your shoes and are eager to share their experience and expertise as guidance.

Beam Him Up

Now that Andres Torres has evoked memories of Ken Henderson — that of the veteran outfielder acquired in an offseason trade who hurts himself almost immediately — the Mets, short on outfielders to begin with, look to recall Kirk Nieuwenhuis from AAA while Torres rehabs his calf. Again.

Depending on whether the Mets’ seamstresses can fit NIEUWENHUIS on the back of a shirt — at 11 letters, it ties SCHOENEWIES and is one behind all-time leader ISRINGHAUSEN — the Mets will also need to put a number on it. It’s likely that number would be 22, which is not only currently vacant on the Mets’ roster but is also Kirk’s current digits at Buffalo. I have to think the Mets were holding in in reserve for him, especially that he’s on the 40. Welcome to the show, Kirk!

On a related note, how great do those numbers and NOBs look now that they’re free of the cursed black dropshadow? Looking good so far Mets!

If your child is suffering from a phobia, you know that they are controlled by that fear and there is nothing that you can do to convince your child that they are not in danger. The phobia may already be causing so much stress for your child and for other family members who have tried to help or maybe there’s a sibling or parent that thinks this is ridiculous and doesn’t understand what the problem is in the first place.

Well, phobias are real. A phobia is defined as an extreme or irrational fear of something. A phobia is induced when your child perceives a threat. That perceived threat could be anything, which is why we have names for so many different phobias. Some common phobias are claustrophobia (fear of small spaces), agoraphobia (fear of open or crowded spaces), arachnophobia (fear of spiders), acrophobia (fear of heights or flying), germophobia (fear of germs), acrophobia (fear of flying), asraphobia (fear of thunder or lightening). Did you know that there is a condition called lepidopterophobia? Yep..its a fear of butterflies! It is interesting to google the many different types of phobias. You will be surprised at how many there are. We have seen most of the different types of phobias in our office over the 125 years of combined experience our doctors have in treating phobias.

The more interesting thing that many parents do not know, is that phobias are a completely treatable condition. Our clinicians use well-established components of cognitive-behavioral therapy and graduated exposure. Your child is in control of the treatment process and his/her anxiety and fear reduces slowing to the point of being almost nonexistent. Parents and children are often surprised that with a little bit of work and guidance from an expert in the field, the phobia becomes well-managed in a relatively short amount of time. Truly, your child does not need to live with a phobia. There are proven treatment methods that work and we will help.

Friends and relatives are encouraged to visit and stay for vacations. If you are having a large event, McLean Care® also has a self-contained next of kin unit for additional family members.

ROXBURY — In the early 1900s, students from the farms near Roxbury walked uphill to be taught at Olive Springs School. Built in 1885, Olive Springs School is the oldest schoolhouse that is still on its original foundation in McPherson County, but framed paintings and drawings created by artist Maleta Forsberg now hang where blackboards used to be.

Using pencil, acrylics, oils and watercolors, Forsberg creates scenes from what she sees around her — the buildings, roads, animals and trees in her own backyard.

Last used as a school in 1946, Olive Springs School was later used to hold farm tools and cattle. Forsberg and her husband bought the property in 1972.

"The farmer who we bought it from, he was getting ready to let the mail carrier tear it down for lumber," Forsberg said. "If we'd been a couple of months later, it would have been gone."

They were interested in restoring the school, as family members had attended Olive Springs as students and also taught there.

"We lived in Wichita, but my husband was raised just south of Roxbury," Forsberg explained.

Wanting to move to a rural setting, they found the 120-acre Olive Springs Farm offered not only a natural spring, and room to raise animals, but a good view of the trees and fields in the valley below.

"Being an artist, it had a wonderful attraction to me," Forsberg said.

It took several years to complete the restoration of Olive Springs School. Rough cedar planks now line the walls of the school and a colorful carpet covers the floor. The original wainscoting is still in place — and painted by Forsberg with Swedish designs. The traditional colors of red, yellow, blue and white can even be seen on the ceiling's inset tin tiles.

The gallery is decorated with school memorabilia that was passed down to Forsberg — pictures of classes from the early 1900s, teaching certificates, diplomas, graduation programs and even a school record books with notes on how much was spent on supplies and salaries. Toys, tools and housewares of the era line the walls above her artwork, and a repainted piano is placed on one side of the stage where the teacher's desk used to sit.

Each winter, Forsberg hosts an open house at her gallery — and she noted the 2018 event will be the 40th year she will welcome guests coming in through the schoolhouse doors.

Two of Forsberg's paintings — "Pioneer Sandstone" and "Kansas Energy" will be featured as part of “Kansas Through the Eyes of an Artist,” a juried exhibit opening Jan. 13 at Carriage Factory Art Gallery in Newton.

Forsberg is also a featured artist at The Courtyard Gallery in Lindsborg — a building she and her husband converted from an old movie theater.

For more information about Forsberg’s artwork and the Olive Springs school, visit or call 785-254-7833.

Remember, Buy Local also means Drink Local! Visit your local Michigan wineries, craft breweries and distilleries this summer.

Take a Tour of 2 Lads Winery

July 21, 2010

2 Lads Winery tour photoGo Behind the Scenes at 2 Lads Winery on a Public Tour

One of the area’s most unique wineries is now opening their production area for tours. 2 Lads Winery on Old Mission Peninsula will conduct regular public tours every Monday, Thursday and Friday at noon and 3:00pm. Booking is on a first come, first served basis and accommodates up to 10 people.

Cost is $20 per person and includes a vineyard tour (weather permitting), cellar tour and a premium wine and food pairing led by one of the 2 Lads crew in the privacy of our gallery.

Taking a tour of one our area wineries is a great way to expand your knowledge of wine making, and discover what makes each winery, and the wines they produce, so unique. That’s why taking a Behind the Scenes tour is one of my 50 Ways to Love Your Summer.

Wonderful World of Michigan Wine, Beer and Spirits

May 20, 2010

The beverage business is booming in Michigan. And everyone from visitors to lodging personnel to locals wants to keep up with what’s new in the world of wine, beer and spirits in Northern Michigan. So here are some highlights from our customers in the industry.

Right Brain Brewery mealtickets cardRight Brain Brewery

90 lbs of asparagus were grilled and turned into what has become a springtime favorite at RBB: Empire Spear Beer. Don’t worry if you missed it at the Empire Asparagus Festival, it’s on tap at the brewery. And for all the gluten-free customers out there it’s time to send up a cheer for the first ever gluten-free beer at RBB. "Katy Bar the Door" is an ode to the Red Wings #1 gluten allergy advocate, Mickey Redman. It’s made with roasted chestnuts, local honey, and 100% local hops.

Black Star Farms Mealtickets cardBlack Star Farms

Just fresh from bottling is the ’09 Riesling at Black Star Farms. The winemakers notes will tell you, "This wine presents classic Riesling aromas of delicate white flowers and stone fruit. Ripe flavors of citrus, peach and apple follow on the palate. It is a lovely off-dry medium bodied white wine." And if you’re looking for a great date night or fun place to meet up with friends, why not check out the Matterhorn Grill at Tastes of Black Star Farms inside the Mercado at The Village. Sit around a miniature grill dining on melted Raclette, meats and veggies will sipping something tasty. Yum.

Bel Lago Mealtickets cardBel Lago Vineyard & Winery

Bel Lago Winery’s 2007 Semi-Dry Riesling has been judged BEST WHITE WINE at the 2010 Pacific
Rim International Wine Competition, held in San Bernardino, CA.  Bel Lago 2007 Semi-Dry Riesling won a Gold Medal and the Best of Class award for Off-Dry Riesling, and then competed against all the other Best of Class White Wine varietal winners, and was judged Best White Wine overall. Stop by their tasting room across from beautiful Lake Leelanau and taste for yourself. Congratulations Bel Lago.

Left Foot Charley Mealtickets cardLeft Foot Charley

Despite a challenging ’09 growing season Bryan has pulled together an interesting vintage from their fruits of last year. The ’09 Pinot Blanc is from Island View Vineyard on Old Mission Peninsula. In his own words, "Island View came through again in the tough ’09 vintage. We made the crew sort the grapes into golden and green clusters then the two lots were pressed and fermented individually and carefully blended back together to form this complex bright dry wine. Great apple notes with a striking citrus finish. Very limited production – you snooze you lose." Also check out their Sparking Hard Apple Cider and The Cobbler; a double fermented cider with a cinnamon flavor. Try it served ala mode with Moomers ice cream on the side.

2 Lads Winery Mealtickets card2 Lads Winery

Bring on the bubbly. Two Lads is ready to release their 2002 vintage bubbly. "The 2002 Dry Sparkling Wine has been in the cellar doing extended aging en tirage (on the lees). This June will be the last time you will be able to purchase and enjoy this rare and spectacular gem. A non-traditional blend exhibiting an exotic, vibrant bouquet and a seductive mouth feel. When released, this wine will have seen seven years en tirage and is exemplary of Northern Michigan’s potential to be the United States’ preeminent sparkling wine region." With less than 500 bottles left in the cage there’s no time to waste in making a trip up to 2 Lads for a bottle.

Peninsula Cellars Mealtickets cardPeninsula Cellars

In case you missed it, Peninsula Cellars was among several local wineries who made the B-list according to a recent article in Food & Wine magazine. The article certainly reinforced the fact that you can’t judge a winery by it’s apparent size or location on a map. And it highlighted one of my family’s favorite easy-drinking reds; Detention. Speaking of easy-drinking, don’t leave this little schoolhouse without a bottle of Homework, their Pinot Noir Rose.

Grand Traverse Distillery Mealtickets cardGrand Traverse Distillery

If you haven’t been out to visit the George and Kent now’s the time. At their production facility they’ve expanded the tasting room area to accommodate all the new visitors we’re sending their way. You’ll also find some new spirits that will hopefully raise yours. Check out Ole George Whiskey, 100% Rye whiskey now available in the tasting room. I also discoverd a limited bottling of Chocolate Vodka. Sounds like cocktail hour is going to get crazy this summer at Grand Traverse Distillery.

Uncorked Wine Bar Mealtickets cardUncorked Wine Bar

If you’ve stepped inside the Cherry Stop lately you can’t miss what’s going on with Uncorked. In order to create two separate spaces for visitors to enjoy they are remodeling and moving the wine bar up front. When they’re finished with the upgrade customers there to visit Uncorked will come in a separate entrance that leads straight to the bar, located under a pergola inside the building. The seating and beautiful Grand Traverse Bay views are still in the back. And plans for another Meet the Winemaker event in June are in the works. So stop in for a sample or pick up a bottle of your favorite local wine while you’re shopping downtown Traverse City.

Upcoming Festival and Events

Uncorked Wine Bar, Mealtickets Latest Addition

May 3, 2010

Uncorked Wine Bar Mealtickets cardLove Michigan Wines, Then You’ll Love Uncorked!

Did you know that Downtown Traverse City has a wine bar dedicated to promoting Michigan wine, beer and spirits? Uncorked, a Northern Michigan Wine Bar is located on Front Street and you may not have known it was there. That’s because it’s inside The Cherry Stop. And it’s home to an amazing opportunity for you to unwind, unplug and sip on some fabulous cocktails.

There is no where else in Traverse City you can step up to the bar and order a flight of riesling for a side-by-side taste test, and be able to walk out the door with a bottle of your favorite label. Whether you want to order a wine sample, sip on a Michigan microbrew draft, or savor a cocktail made from local spirits, the options are endless at Uncorked.

The Cherry Stop has been with Mealtickets from the day we opened for business. And we’re very excited to welcome another great idea from Nick and Jamie Roster into Mealtickets service. Stop in for a glass, sign up for one of their Meet the Winemaker events or enjoy happy hour. And tell them we said hello!

Welcome Bel Lago

Bel Lago Winery Mealtickets cardBel Lago…Beautiful Lake: Beautiful Winery

If your wine tasting tour has never lead you along the western shore of Lake Leelanau then you’ve missed one of the area’s best wineries. Bel Lago Winery, a recent addition to the Mealtickets little card family, sits across from Lake Leelanau with views of vineyards and crystal blue waters. But the vista pales in comparison to the wines.

Known for their amazing choice of varietals and blends, Bel Lago has won awards for nearly every wine entered in competition in the last five years! They began planting grapes in 1987 on the family-owned property, and opened the tasting room in 1999. And still it’s amazing how many people have not heard of this diamond on the shore. We’re hoping to change that.

So next time you’re headed out on a wine tour, or perhaps you’re picking up a bottle for dinner tonight, check out Bel Lago Winery. You can find a map to their off-the-beaten-path location on our Dining and Wineries page. And take a trip to the website for more information,

In case you’re wondering, the photo on the card is their view. Not bad, eh?

NestleFamily, breastfeeding and social media

I have a great amount of data from the recent NestleFamily twitterstorm. Luckily, I was able to see the storm coming. As a few of the attendees began tweeting about meeting up a few days prior to the start of #NestleFamily, I could see that there was going to be some fallout. My interest had been piqued a few months earlier with the Nestle “What’s for Dinner” junket that received some backlash (which I was a part of, albeit briefly).

Even though I was prepared for it, I doubt anyone saw the enormity and longevity of the community’s outrage. The tail of it is still going. This was a key happening on Twitter, and it had far more impact than the Motrin Moms speedbump. I would argue that Twitter’s community has morphed again as a result. Focus on the types of junkets mommy/daddybloggers who call themselves “PR friendly” accept, and what it says about who they are doesn’t happen in a vacuum. There were real responses from the community. Many negative. This great post by cynematic discusses this responsibility further.

My research

I manually copied thousands of tweets using the #NestleFamily hashtag. I also created an online survey that people were invited to complete during the twitterstorm. I’m very excited to have that data. The 66 completed responses are authentic, grabbed at the time it was all happening, and the qualitative survey responses are about as true to real emotion as you can get – people were telling me what they were doing at the same time as doing it. That’s not easy to get when questioning people about their about online activity. When I write it up it will be a chapter in my thesis, and probably a paper/conference presentation as well. I’m going to write up a short version of the results and post it here on my blog soon.

The most positive outcome has been the amazing work done by Annie, aka @PhDinParenting, who took the opportunity to ask some very pointed questions of Nestle. Nestle has been responding to her questions, so good on them. And Annie has posted their responses in the best, most transparent means possible. She then adds her own analysis and research, with links that are exhaustive, informed and inspiring. It is her work that represents the future of real journalism. It’s why I say that the future of journalism is social.

My question to Nestle

I kept largely out of the limelight on this twitterstorm so as not to taint the data I was collecting. I did, however, want to find out Nestle’s views on the dismal rate of breastfeeding in the USA. Nestle promotes its substitute milk in the USA, and with the USA’s very low rate of exclusive infant breastfeeding at 6 months of age, I wanted to find out what they thought about it all. I submitted the question as follows:

As a premier substitute baby milk manufacturer and marketer in the USA, I’d like to know what your opinion is about the fact that the rate of exclusive breastfeeding in the USA lies at just 12%, when the WHO says it recommends 100% exclusivity for the first six months.

Your Nestle site states that WHO is the “gold standard” so I’m assuming you would agree this statistic is troubling.

Why do you believe this statistic exists? Do you think it can change? And if so, how?

It took a few weeks (I think Nestle lost my question, and then located it when I enquired again about their response), but their response is here:

Thank you for contacting us. We apologize for the delay in our response and we appreciate your patience.

At Nestlé Nutrition we support the positions of the American Academy of Pediatrics and WHO that exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months of age is best. The most recent statistics from the 2008 CDC Breastfeeding Report Card (2006 data) show that the national average from exclusive breastfeeding is around 13.6%, which is below the Health (sic) People 2010 goal of 17%.

According to the CDC Infant Feeding Practices Study (IFPS) II ( , there are many reasons why mothers might stop breastfeeding, ranging from difficulty with sucking and latching to worries about producing enough milk.

We believe that optimal infant health is truly the goal and we advocate for more infant feeding support and education for mothers, regardless of whether they breastfeed, formula feed or both.

We are encouraged by the improvements reported in breastfeeding initiation and duration and will continue our efforts to educate and encourage mothers to give their babies a healthy start. That includes providing education and resources for her, and if she cannot or chooses not to breastfeed, or chooses to supplement her breastmilk, we provide high quality, iron-fortified infant formula-the only safe and healthy alternative to breastmilk.

So there you go. I have my own thoughts on this response. The final paragraph, to me, is just disgraceful – it’s written very poorly. It seems to be saying that Nestle’s substitute formula is the only “safe and healthy alternative to breastmilk.” I know that those words “safe and healthy” are definitely not something I agree with. But I’m a breastfeeding advocate, ex-journalist and PR queen, and am used to spin. I have done the research. I know what I know and have made up my own mind. The US Government has initiated the Healthy People plan, but where breastfeeding rates are concerned it is failing – and it doesn’t reflect the WHO “gold standard” referred to on Nestle’s own site. There are holes all over this response. The last paragraph made me wince. I think Annie does a brilliant job of dissecting these responses and calling out the holes. I’m not going to do that here. I recommend you read all of Annie’s work, and if interested in more, you can read my short research blog piece on Breastfeeding in America, see the Ignite presentation, or email me for the full papers to see how the numbers stack up. And then make up your own mind.

So what does all this mean?

Now, I know that this storm has ended up being thrown in the “too hard” basket by many people on both sides of the fence, as well as those who sit on top of that same fence. Statistics are being used pragmatically. Manipulation of data is rife. There’s aggravation, and it becomes personal for many who feel attacked by even discussing it. For many, it sucked the ‘fun’ out of Twitter.

But the fact is, this milestone proved the resilience of the microblogging community. It’s opened a conversation that will bind the community even more solidly. It’s given us a view of people that we didn’t know before. People to both connect with, disconnect from, and understand better, even if they disagree with us. If Twitter were really nothing more than messages about eating candy and frozen dinners, then this storm wouldn’t exist. People have taken it upon themselves to get better educated about something they might not have known about before. They were provided links and questions. They had the opportunity to follow up, and go deeper into the issues than they have ever been led by mainstream media, and Nestle ended up without the buffer of media to spin their messages to.

Key Learnings

For the community: Mainstream media is no longer an excuse for not knowing about stuff. The depth of information you have is up to you and your attention span. That’s a hard responsibility to own. In Nestle’s case, I congratulate anyone (including some attendees) who tried to find out more information or followed it up, no matter where you ultimately sit on the ‘issues’. I challenge those who simply sought an easy path and blindly continued tweeting Nestle-friendly inane statements on Twitter, without addressing any of the twitterstorm. It won’t, in the longer term, help your credibility in the community. The really influential people in this equation can be easily identified. And that’s awesome.

For companies: You don’t get to own your messages any more. Social media represents a revolution, not an evolution. It’s another tool in your promotional strategy, but you have to be ready for the real conversation. The one where your comments get called on. The one you don’t direct. And you will never have the last word unless the community deems it to be okay.

  • While I am obviously not a breastfeeding advocate (hence the screen name) I do have to say that I think the way social media has impacted this debate has been startling. You explain this phenomenon so well, and I agree with you that we can all learn and grow from how Twitter is changing the face of media.

    As a journalist myself, I also agree with you that the language used in Nestle’s response is pretty disgusting. However, I do agree with the argument they are (poorly) offering – I think the reasons for low breastfeeding rates in this country are due to a million other problems, first and foremost being our god-awful maternity rights. I think it harms breastfeeding advocacy to focus so much on blaming the formula companies. In my humble opinion, I believe it wastes time, resources and energy.

    But other than that – great post. I love the blog and am glad I’ve found it – I’ll be looking forward to hearing more about your research and upcoming thesis! Good luck!

  • Thank you so much for your comment! This is entirely the conversation that needs to happen, and I believe you are completely correct in saying that the low rates of breastfeeding are a societal issue which extend beyond any one easy-picking. It’s only when we’re open to hearing different perspectives that understanding can truly happen, and then change can be sought. If it needs to be. Thank you for your kind comments too, and I look forward to more conversations!

  • Thanks for this great article Jo! There are many many societal barriers to breastfeeding. Yes, things like lacking maternity leave and the things Nestle mentions in its answer do contribute, but there is much more than that. And in the area of the much more, Nestle is both directly and indirectly (via its influence of society, health professionals, etc.) complicit in maintaining those barriers.

    I wrote about the many societal barriers to breastfeeding in this post:

  • As interested as I am in the issues you are discussing, I am impressed to see the way blogging has become more than just social, but socially responsible.
    To see rational and researched opinion in a free forum is exciting and I look forward to more of it here, and across the internet.

  • Thanks so much for your reply. Blogging is the way, I believe, in finding real truth. Objective reporting of traditional journalistic forms do not enable the “imbalance” that truth calls for, IMHO. As a past journalist, my credibility relies on, as you describe, rational and research opinion in a free forum – I love having your contribution to it too, Sasha!

  • Wonderful items from you, man. I’ve take note your stuff previous to and you are just too wonderful. I really like what you’ve acquired here, certainly like what you’re saying and the best way in which you say it. You are making it enjoyable and you still take care of to keep it sensible. I can’t wait to read far more from you. This is really a wonderful site.

  • Feeding baby formula from a nlippe, especially when they are very young, can make them turn away from the breast. The fake nlippe is much easier to get milk out of. The less your baby drinks your milk, the less milk your body will make. If you would like to make more milk, feed your baby until she is full/sleeping. The downfall is that it might take a really long time. The upside is that within 24 hours, the body will adjust milk production accordingly. This is not to say you cannot feed your baby formula if you want. But, if you are truly dedicated to breast feeding, I wouldn’t try formula until your routine is well-established.

Medina County won't pay for air-quality tests near NEXUS station

MEDINA — Sustainable Medina County activists couldn’t persuade Medina County commissioners to pay for air quality tests at the proposed compressor station in Guilford Township, part of the $2.1 billion NEXUS Gas Transmission project.

“It will affect all of you,” Sustainable leader Kathie Jones said. “You will have it on your conscience if you don’t want to do it.”

The group has employed Southwest Pennsylvania Environmental Health Project, which has an office in McMurray, Pa., to conduct baseline testing for $9,500. Once the compressor station is built, the Environmental Health Project will retest the air for an additional $9,500 to see if any toxins are being released.

“We need to know if we have clean air,” said Jones, of Sharon Township.

Commissioner Pat Geissman told Jones the board won’t pay for any air testing.

“I will tell you the board of commissioners will not be assisting with the funds to have the air quality check done,” Geissman said. “We believe the Air Quality Management District of Akron does the same thing and they can do this at no charge to us.”

Jones said the testing the Environmental Health Project is doing is different and more elaborate than anything the Air Quality Management District would do.

“The Environmental Health Project has already done a baseline over a period of time,” she said. “The Akron Regional Air Quality Management District doesn’t do baselines.”

Jones said the Environmental Health Project will conduct health studies and a health analysis. It will also analyze hundreds of toxins.

“It’s not a one-day thing,” she said. “It’s not the same as Akron does.”

Geissman also took exception to “scary” pictures Jones provided to commissioners on what the compressor could look like.

“I was very disappointed when I saw the picture you gave us last week,” she said.

“It was scary. It’s not what is being built out there. The commissioners have a diagram of what’s being built out there. It’s way back off the road.

“If you want a level of trust with the commissioners, you can’t bring us things that don’t depict exactly what it is you’re talking about. I left here thinking, ‘Oh, my gosh. That’s what is going to be built out there?’ It’s not. It’s a much smaller scale. They don’t have all those smokestacks. It’s hard to continue to trust you if you’re going to continue to bring material to us that is misleading.”

Jones said the pictures were “similar” to what is going to be built at 8707 Guilford Road in Guilford.

“We didn’t say it was the exact size,” she said. “There is no picture of it yet. It hasn’t been built.

“This is not grandstanding.”

The 255-mile gas transmission line will travel through Medina County on its way into Michigan and a hub in Canada. Compressor stations along the way help boost the pressurized gas through the pipeline.

Geissman said commissioners have “no authority” over the pipeline.

“I realize your hands are tied, but your hands are not tied donating toward air quality (tests),” Jones said.

Two other Sustainable members also spoke at the meeting, the Rev. Sharon L. Kiesel and Pauline Chapman.

Kiesel said she suffers from an environmental illness.

“(I have a) broken immune system,” she said. “I speak for millions of people who have environmental illnesses and for future generations that will be coming down with them due to the uncontrolled testing and the release of chemicals into our environment.”

Kiesel said the compressor stations represent a significant health problem.

“If we cannot prevent this (pipeline), we must protect our citizens,” she said.

“Residents have wells, farms and livestock that drink from the ponds, streams and rainwater. Those can be polluted by the emissions from (the blowdowns).”

Chapman said she lives within 200 feet of the proposed pipeline.

“I am very worried,” she said. “I’m 72 years old. I’m living next to a compressor station. At this age, I’m vulnerable to more health risks than younger people. I’m worried about the toxins that are going to be emitted in the air I breathe.”

Sam Rubens, administrator for the Air Quality Management District, said his company is contracted by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency to do air monitoring. It serves Medina, Summit and Portage counties.

“Our concern with the compressor station is more of a regional ozone issue.

“As a public health issue, the ozone that could be created, it could be an issue. The natural gas is not going to be affecting the well. It’s a gas. It’s going to go up in the air.”

Jones said there will be blowdowns every 32 hours at the compressor station. Blowdowns vent natural gas to reduce any pressure buildup.

Rubens said it’s unlikely blowdowns will occur every 32 hours.

Other news

  • Charles Huber of the Medina County Building Department told commissioners there was 39 new housing starts in the county during October.
    The average construction cost for a new home that month was $394,317, an increase of about 10.9 percent from October a year ago.
    Montville Township led the way with nine new housing starts, with Lafayette Township coming in second with five, and Liverpool, Medina and Sharon townships with four apiece.
    Year to date, according to Huber’s report, Montville is on top with 87 new housing starts.
    There were 294 residential and commercial building permits issued for October valued at a total of $80,917. That represented a 15 percent increase compared with October 2016.
    Huber said there were 21 commercial property permits for October worth $18.5 million. The largest was for the Village of Saint Edward Assistant Living facility in Wadsworth worth $15 million. Pride One Construction will handle the construction.
  • Commissioners appointed four people to the Transportation Improvement District. Bethany Dentler, executive director of the Medina County Economic Development Corp., was appointed as the commissioners’ representative. Jeff Brandon, Montville Township trustee, and Rick Monroe, York Township trustee, were named township representatives. Conrad Sarnowski, Seville resident, was appointed as the villages’ representative. Their terms will expire Dec. 31, 2019.
  • The Medina County Health Department will handle dental services for inmates at Medina County Jail at a rate of $105.57 per hour or $1,267 per month for 12 hours of service, not to exceed $15,202 over 12 months — January to Dec. 31, 2018.

Qatar s Nasser Al Attiyah Wins Kuwait International Rally

(MENAFN - Qatar News Agency) Qatar's Nasser Saleh Al Attiyah and Italian co-driver Giovanni Bernacchini won the 22nd Kuwait International Rally, round two of the 2014 FIA Middle East Rally Championship (MERC), which finished in Fintas on Saturday. Nasser began the day with a lead of 12.5sec and won four of the second leg's six stages to reach the finish with a winning margin of 27.5 seconds. It was the Qatari's 52nd MERC win and his co-driver's 23rd. The Ford Fiesta RRC crew now lead their respective championship categories by 17 points after two rounds. "I was looking forward to the stages on the second day," said Nasser, who equalled Mohammed bin Sulayem's record of four wins in Kuwait. "They were not as fast and straight, more technical and twistier and more enjoyable to drive. Like last year, I felt that they would suit my car better. I was confident that I could extend my lead and win today." Driving a Citroen DS3 RRC, Abu Dhabi Racing's Shaikh Khalid Al Qassimi was the class of the rest of the field, but he did not quite have the pace to match Nasser. Nevertheless, the Abu Dhabi driver finished 1min 44.8sec in front of the third-placed Saudi Yazeed Al-Rajhi, who was joint quickest with Nasser on one stage. Al Qassimi came under severe pressure from the charging Kuwaiti Salah bin Eidan over the final day. A lead of 47.3sec was reduced to 29.5sec after SS10, 24.5sec after SS11 and 16.0sec with one stage to go, but the Sharjah driver held on to confirm fourth position on his first MERC event with French female co-driver Catherine Derousseaux. After losing substantial time with boost issues on Friday, there was no way back for Abdulaziz Al Kuwari and the Qatari finished in sixth place, despite a bent suspension arm. His uncle Abdullah Al Kuwari recovered from a four-minute time penalty for losing his way on the second stage to reach Fintas in seventh. Eighth-placed Khalifa Al-Attiyah € the brother of event winner Nasser € comfortably won the Group N category in his QMMF-backed Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X. The talented young Emirati Mohamed Al-Mutawee dominated the Abu Dhabi Racing-Citroen Middle East Trophy and finished the event 2min 05.6sec in front of Mohamed Al-Sahlawi to claim his second successive 2WD Junior class win. Germany's Edith Weiss and Qatar's Nada Zeidan battled hard at the rear of the field and it was Weiss who reached Fintas as the leading female driver in 15thoveral

Negotiating The Business Acquisition In A Buyer's Market

Summer 1992 Issue of The Business Forum

By Robert M. Mendell

Due to the existence, generally speaking, of a buyer's market in the business acquisition arena, certain negotiating points from a buyer's perspective and a seller's perspective have developed with some consistency. This article describes certain business points that have worked well for many of this writer's clients when negotiating a business acquisition on behalf of the buyer, recognizing the increased leverage generally favoring the buyer in connection with such transactions. In the next issue of The Business Forum, the seller's perspective will be addressed.

In this type of market, the buyer is often able to successfully negotiate one or more basic business points such as a relatively favorable purchase price, low down payment, substantial deferred payments of the purchase price which are seller financed and no personal guaranty of the deferred payments of the purchase price. In addition, oftentimes the deferred payments are based on contingencies, the most common of which is based on future productivity of the purchased business, sometimes referred to as an "earnout" contingency.

What may be of particular importance to a buyer in an asset acquisition is the content of warranties and representations regarding the purchased business and the remedies available in the event of a material breach of any such warranties and representations. Successful implementation of a "right of offset" provision in the asset acquisition documents can completely switch the leverage regarding nonpayment of future installments of the purchase price in favor of the buyer and away from the seller, as would be traditionally the case. A "right of offset" allows the buyer to unilaterally offset from future payments due the seller the amount of any damages suffered by the buyer in the event something is wrong with the acquired business in contravention of any warranty and representation made by the seller. This right is important for a buyer because hidden defects or difficulties involving a business may not be ascertained for a period of time after acquisition, notwithstanding any extensive due diligence work performed by the buyer prior to acquisition.

The "right of offset" is not automatically provided for by operation of law and, if properly utilized forces the seller to initiate court action to disprove a breach of warranty. In contrast, without a "right of offset", the buyer would be required under law to continue deferred payments of the acquisition price (and, thus, creating or expanding the seller's litigation war chest) and initiate an expensive and lengthy court action in a suit to recover damages. If drafted properly, the "right of offset" can apply to deferred payments made to the seller in the form of restrictive covenants such as a covenant not to compete, and in the form of consulting or employee services if the seller (or its owners) continue to provide services to the acquired business. As the seller will often be a shell corporation after the sale of the business, it is important to have the ultimate recipients of the sales proceeds, usually the owners or shareholders, join in on the warranties and representations.

In a typical acquisition, the buyer will generally perform an extensive due diligence review of the company to be purchased and have prepared lengthy legal documents, usually in the form of an asset purchase agreement or a merger agreement, along with numerous exhibits and related agreements, such as covenants not to compete, promissory notes, security agreements and consulting or employment agreements. The due diligence and document preparation process not only entails a significant expenditure of the buyer's time and energy, but also, the incurrence of significant expenses in the form of professional fees and related expenses. It is, therefore, imperative that the buyer ascertains that there is a "real" deal at the earliest stage possible, as most of the costs of the due diligence review and document preparation will generally be borne by the buyer. The buyer should not place himself in the position of making unnecessary concessions to the seller in order to avoid losing his considerable investment in terms of time and money, which is growing more and more significant as the acquisition process continues. Worse yet is the exposure of losing the entire deal at the tail end of the due diligence period, due to the inability of the parties to reach agreement on some material point, which point could have often been resolved prior to the expenditure of substantial time and money in the acquisition process.

Although negotiation of some points in a later stage of the transaction is almost always unavoidable, the preparation of the definitive agreements should be almost anticlimactic. The most significant negotiation stage of the business acquisition should be consummated at the beginning of the negotiation process and is best documented through a preliminary document often referred to as a letter of intent or term sheet. In this writer's view, oftentimes not enough attention is placed on this important document and, too often, it is omitted in its entirety. The letter of intent should clearly outline all major business points, which could be "deal breakers", including, aside from the obvious amount and payment terms of the purchase price, any personal guarantees to be required of the buyer, any assets of the buyer to be used as collateral by the seller, contents of warranties and representation and right of offset, whether legal opinions will be required, contingencies on deferred payments, parameters of any "earnout" provision and other important issues. The buyer should be mindful that most major concessions are attainable at this "letter of intent" stage and the basic structure of the transaction should be finalized at this state.

The following information applies only to the builds.

There are five Firefox update channels:

  • release - all final releases
  • beta - beta releases, release candidates and final releases
  • aurora - pre-beta releases
  • nightly - all nightly builds
  • default - no updates

To see which release channel you are on, click Help > About Firefox and you will see a message, "You are currently on the ____ update channel."

To change the preferred update channel, enter about:config in the Firefox address bar. After promising to be careful, scroll down to the parameter named and set its string value to one of the five available update channels: release, beta, aurora, nightly, or default. If that does not work, you can use the Update Channel Changer extension (go to Help -> Check for Updates -> Change Update Channel). Alternatively, you can edit the channel-prefs.js file with a text editor.

The update options are set in Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Update where there are three check boxes under the header labeled Automatically check for updates to:

  • Firefox
  • Add-ons
  • Search Engines

By selecting the Firefox check box, you can select one of two things that will occur when an update is found:

  • Ask me what I want to do
  • Automatically download and install the update

By selecting the first choice, a pop-up notifier will appear when an update for your update channel is found.

If you neither want to be notified when updates are available, nor want to automatically install updates, simply uncheck the box labeled Firefox under Automatically check for updates to:. You can always check for updates manually by clicking Help > About Firefox > Check for Updates.

If Firefox is installed in the /opt directory, you will need to start Firefox as root in order to install the update. To do that, hit the Alt+F2 keys, and type the following command in the command box:

kdesu /opt/firefox/firefox

After the root password is entered, the update can be installed.

Note: When running Firefox as root, the update options in the root profile may be different than the options in your user profile. Be sure to set the appropriate root profile options while you are running Firefox as root.

Click on Edit > Preferences > Content and play with the Fonts & Colors. Use the "Advanced ..." button. Try using "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above" checked.

A dictionary add-on must be installed for spellchecking to work.
Goto and install the add-on dictionary of your choice.

Depending on your version, Firefox may not assign an application to handle "mailto" links. To change that behavior:

1) Click Edit --> Preferences --> Applications, then type "mailto" in the search box, and click the entry in the right-hand column to select the action you want.
2) Alternately: type "about:config" into the address bar, then right-click the page containing a long list of preference names. Select New --> String, then enter for preference name:

and for preference value the path to the email client you want to use, for instance,

or for kmail, enter

Transferring profiles

When transferring a Firefox profile, whether in migrating from Windows, another Linux version, or from one MEPIS installation to another, you will need to change the file profiles.ini following these directions in order to access your bookmarks, cookies and preferences.

If you have web access in Konqueror but not in Firefox, you may have to change the way addresses are being handled by disabling IPv6. See this page on how to disable it, and here for an overview of how different applications handle this protocol.

Laptop scroll button navigation

If your laptop has a 4 way scroll button (older models often had these) you will find that the up/down button scrolls the page up and down, but to get the page back/forward mappings working for the left/right click on the button, you need to make the following adjustment in the Firefox/Iceweasel config:
  • Enter about:config in the url bar, hit return and dismiss the warning message,
  • Paste mousewheel.horizscroll.withaltkey into the filter bar and hit return,
  • Edit values (double click on config, for pop up window or toggle True,False values), so that the values are set to:
 mousewheel.horizscroll.withnokey.action       user set  integer   2
 mousewheel.horizscroll.withnokey.numlines     user set  integer  -1
 mousewheel.horizscroll.withnokey.sysnumlines  user set  boolean  false

Firefox on KDE4 See this page

  • Notes feature:
Select text in a web page -> rightclick and choose "copy to note" or use the shortcut Ctrl-Shift-C. To access your notes press Ctrl-6 or press F4 to see the sidebar and select Notes from there. When you double click on the note it will open the site from where you copied the note. It is very useful when you do research and need to copy things from many separate pages and then still be able to go back to those pages.
  • Search feature:
To add a search engine from any webpage, right-click the search box, select "Create search," fill in a name and a keyword (optional), and click OK. The site will be added to the pull-down search menu.
  • Tray icon
By default, Opera puts an icon into the system tray when it opens. To stop that behavior -- useful if kicker space is limited, for instance--add -notrayicon (include the single dash) to the command space in the KMenu entry and on the Application tab of any kicker or desktop icon. Note: not valid for Opera 10.
  • Java and Java Script
You can test your current capability on the Java Tester website. If you encounter problems, be sure to consult the troubleshooting section of the Opera page on how to make a soft link to the Firefox plugins directory.
  • Default screen size
To set a default screen size other than 100%, open up the file

At the end of the first section "[User Prefs]" add

or whatever zoom factor you would like.

Custom search

See Custom search.

  • External links
To get Thunderbird to open hyperlinks in Firefox (alter as needed for another browser):
  1. Open preferences --> advanced --> config editor
  2. Right-click and create a new entry ("string") with name:

Do the same for https and ftp.
NOTE: If the config editor is not there, go here: and download about:config, save it, install it (Tools-> Addons-> Install).

  • Transferring profiles
When transferring a Thunderbird profile, whether in migrating from Windows, another Linux version, or from one MEPIS installation to another, you will need to change the file profiles.ini following these directions in order to access your mail and preferences.
  • Changing the font

First go to the Thunderbird chrome folder. You do this by opening Konqueror and going to the menu option VIEW and select SHOW HIDDEN FILES. Now go to the following chrome folder.

where the XXX's will be some random numbers and letters that represent your profile. The key is to select the folder with the .default extension.

If there is no userChrome.css file in this folder, create a new text file with that name and enter the following text. If the file exists, then you either need to add the following two preferences or modify these preferences if they already exist in the file, choosing a font size such as 12 or 14:

/* Global UI font */
* { font-size: 14pt !important;
font-family: Verdana !important;
/* Menu font */
menu, menulist, menuitem {
font-family: Times New Roman !important;
font-size: 14pt !important;

In KDE 4.3, this should read (again, choose font size):

/* Global UI font */
* { font-size: 14pt !important;
font-family: DejaVu Sans !important;
/* Menu font */
menu, menulist, menuitem {
font-family: DejaVu Sans !important;
font-size: 14pt !important;

Save the file and restart Thunderbird.

  • External links
To get Kmail to open hyperlinks in Firefox, you can set firefox as your default browser in KDE Component Chooser. In particular, see steps 1 & 2.

  • drag&drop -- you can drag a file or folder to Konsole. You'll get a short menu with choices to move the file, copy the file or cd to that folder.

  • Wallpaper: Right-click on the Desktop -> Configure Desktop -> Background -> Press "Get New Wallpapers" to get wallpapers from

Meridian Health Encourages H1N1 Flu Awareness For Pregnant Women

Meridian Health Encourages H1N1 Flu Awareness For Pregnant Women

Tips and guidelines on how to ensure expectant moms stay healthy this season plus what to do if they contract H1N1

Pregnant women have been identified as a high-risk group this flu season as the H1N1 flu has affected them at an astounding rate. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) have recommended that all expectant mothers get vaccinated against the H1N1 virus to protect both themselves and their unborn child.

"A pregnant woman's immune system can cause her to become more sensitive to influenza and can in turn result in complications if infected with H1N1," says Richard J. Scott, M.D., senior vice president of clinical effectiveness and medical affairs for Meridian Health. "It is strongly recommended that all pregnant women receive the H1N1 vaccine as soon as possible, since severe illness in the mother can be extremely harmful for the fetus." It is also important to note that expectant mothers should not receive the FluMist as this is a live virus and can be potentially harmful to the fetus.

Prevention in this case is key, so in addition to receiving both seasonal flu and H1N1 vaccinations, expectant mothers should also wash their hands frequently, avoid touching their eyes, nose or mouth, and notify a doctor if someone else in the home has H1N1, as an anti-viral may be needed to prevent illness.

If flu-like illness is suspected it is essential that people speak with their physician as soon as possible. Doctors will decide if anti-viral treatment is necessary and will advise a plan of action in order to have the best outcome for mother and baby.
