City of Kenosha Menu

dream playground liberty swingdream playground liberty swingdream playground liberty swing

The Dream Playground Project Founders partnered with the Kenosha Achievement Center to raise funds for a fully accessible playground at Petzke Park (2820 14th Avenue). The 15,000- square-foot Dream Playground opened in October of 2015 as the City's first fully accessible playground. More than 3,000 volunteers worked to raise support and construct this amazing playground.

The mission of the Kenosha Dream Playground Project was to develop a safe, fully inclusive, accessible playground that allows children of all abilities to play together, learn from each other, value each others differences and find the strength to overcome challenges -- thus creating a truly integrated environment where compassion and acceptance can be found.

Highlights of the playground include:

  • 2 bird nest swings
  • Wheelchair swing (requires a key to operate – contact Public Works for more information)
  • Accessible merry-go-round
  • Adaptive side-by-side swings
  • Braille and sign language alphabets
  • Non-electrostatic slides
  • Poured-in-place flooring for easier maneuverability
  • Separate play areas for ages 2-5 and ages 5+

The playground incorporates elements of the Kenosha community, such as:

  • Lighthouses and ships
  • 1960s Rambler replica
  • Local storefronts
  • Trolley car
  • Jelly bean-shaped stepping stones

Dream Playground Fence Pickets

This is your chance to own a piece of the Kenosha Dream Playground! The Kenosha Dream Playground Project is selling fence pickets, engraved to your specifications, to be used on the fence surrounding the playground.

A loan of $650 helped to purchase fruit and vegetables to expand her business.

Marisol Del Carmen's story

Marisol is a 32 year old wife and mother. She has one minor child and she lives with her family in the C.P.M. (Minor Population Center) Callanca of the Monsefu district. The district is known for its tourist festivals- religious and connected to its artisanal crafts made of wood, ceramics and reeds. It is located about twenty minutes from the city of Chiclayo.

She sells vegetables wholesale and retail at a stand in the Los Pathos Market, a wholesale market in Chiclayo. She acquires her merchandise very early from the distributors who go to the supply center to offer merchandise to customers, most of whom are sellers in retail markets. She has become well known in the area thanks to the good service she offers her customers.

Marisol wants to increase her sales with the purchase of more vegetables in order to better respond to the demand that exists in the area. In this way she plans on obtaining more profit and gradually improve her quality of life. To obtain her goal, it has become necessary for her to ask Edpyme Alternativa for a loan of 1800 nuevos soles.

Marisol is a cheerful woman who is very dedicated to her job. Her greatest wish is to offer her son a better quality of life. She has worked with our institution before and has demonstrated punctuality and responsibility when making her payments.

A loan of $750 helped to buy a shelf to store sodas and products to supply her business.

Eduvigis's story

Eduvigis, 47, is a woman separated from her partner. She has seven children but only lives with three of them, ages 21, 15, and 14. Her house is rented and is located in the San Ramón district, province of Chanchamayo.

Eduvigis is an exemplary mother. Despite having separated from the father of her children, she had the courage to confront life and support them with her effort. This is how, five years ago, she opened a small restaurant in the place where she lives.

Currently she offers breakfast and lunch to passers-by. And as her seasoning is well known, she also works cooking for residents of construction companies. "In April the business is more profitable, owing to the beginning of classes," she comments, adding that at that time the professors and students circulate more in her area, eating the food that Eduvigis prepares.

She is anxious to fix the appearance of her business with a few paintings and by acquiring a few new pieces of furniture. In this way she will continue helping her children with paying for their studies.

This will be the twelfth loan she would get from MFP, for which she is committed to being punctual in making her payments. She belongs to Las Heliconias Communal Bank, and the members, women, are close and supportive. She will invest the money in buying a shelf to put sodas inside her restaurant. She also will buy sodas and some food to supply her business.

Maori Party doesn’t forgive Clark

Stuff reports:

The doesn’t support former Prime Minister ’s nomination for the top job at the United Nations.

In the same week Clark awaits the results of a second straw poll to assess her chances of getting the Secretary-General role, Maori Party co-leader Marama Fox said her party “unequivocally do not support” her bid.

That position won’t change but Clark could go some way to fixing her relationship with Maori by apologising for her “mistakes of the past,” Fox said.

“She didn’t want to sign up to the Declaration of Rights of Indigenous People under the United Nations, she resisted that strongly. Also with the foreshore and seabed we saw that as the largest modern day confiscation of land for Maori. And then there was her support in the Tuhoe raids.

“Based on her record of dealing with indigenous rights, we feel we can not support her nomination,” Fox said.

Possibly not that surprising considering Clark’s actions are what led to the formation of the Maori Party. I thought time may have healed wounds, but it seems not.

Govt Mulls to Solve Business Issues for Development

Screen Shot 2016-07-29 at 9.46.54 am

Business operations in Laos remain challenging because of widespread failure to understand and comply with complex laws as well as lax oversight on the part of the authorities.

Many entrepreneurs have registered to operate businesses in line with the regulations and laws while others have not but yet they still continue to operate.

Some Prime Minister’s decrees need to be improved and updated while different measures should be more strictly implemented in order to encourage business operators to run their businesses for legitimate profits and the benefit of the nation.

This was the message to government officials, policy makers and business operators at the 40th annual business awards event in Vientiane on Wednesday.

One of the major issues that business operators proposed to the government organisations for improvement is the conflict between Decree Number 115/PM and Decree Number 316/PM.

Decree Number 316/PM notes that personal and individually registered businesses under the Law on Enterprise, and which have registered capital of over 50 million kip, should apply to be the Lao National Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LNCCI) to become members.

Meanwhile Decree Number 115/PM states that if entrepreneurs or companies have registered their businesses or companies legally they are then able to carry out their businesses, which could be taken to mean that they have satisfied all requirements and do not need to become members of the LNCCI.

This issue has seen many companies not apply to become members of the LNCCI while different business operators are operating their businesses without the appropriate registration certificates.

One other issue raised by businesspeople was that the fees for transportation in Laos are still high and need to be updated as various container parks are being developed in industrial zones along the nation’s borders.

Goods import and export approvals still need to pass through many stages, take time and there are no details on transport tax collection while other investment and trading documents still experience delays.

Another factor is the labour shortages that businesses have to deal with and the need for capacity building in various sectors.

In regards to solving the conflict between Decree Numbers 115/PM and 316/PM problem, Prime Minister ThonglounSisoulith has directed officials from the Prime Minister’s Office to open discussions to improve the matter and report back within a couple of weeks.

He also advised the relevant government officials to inspect illegal business operators and to formulate strict measures for implementation.

The PM also stressed that different ministries should boost their responsibility to improve and develop service systems to be better and more efficient in their areas of responsibility.

Business is a major sector which can contribute to developing people’s living conditions and push the economy of the country to expand and grow, helping Laos to escape from least development country status by 2020.

To reach the goal, Mr. Thongloun said, it requires every government and private sector to offer their strong cooperation and solidarity for overall development.

“We are now already part of the Asean Economic Community (AEC), so things should improve to relate with international standards, especially measures, principles and other regulations,” he explained.

Laos remains rich in natural resources, which offers potential in socio-economic development, but the country needs to chart a path towards green and sustainable development.

On the occasion, 46 companies received 40th Lao Business Awards and 17 companies received Asean Business Awards of the Lao PDR 2016.

The awards were conferred by Minister of Industry and Commerce, Mrs. Khemmani Pholsena and the LNCCI President, Mr. Oudet Souvannavong.

1" Rainbird valve solenoid knob-Should it be used to turn valve on?

Discussion in 'Irrigation' started by villagegreenlandscape, Sep 1, 2007.

    I had an instructor tell me to remove the plastic knob covering the solenoid on the 1" rainbird valves because it could cause some sort of problem but I can't remember what the problem was. He said to only use the bleed screw. Does anyone know what the problem might be?
  2. Wet_Boots

    Better to use the bleed screw. I've had service calls (on account of the O-ring failing) on some systems with above-ground valves, when the homeowner repeatedly used that solenoid method of manual operation.

    The plastic cover/lever, I might leave in place, since it might prevent some wire damage from rodents.
  3. Mike Leary

    IMHO...your "instructor"is full of it, failure of the O-rings is usually caused
    by tightening the bleeder down too tight. The lever is "internal bleed", which
    means no flooding of the valve box, you can have more fun unscrewing the
    bleeder on the bonnet (which is external ((flood)) bleed) if you unsrew too
    much & the bleeder pops into a alternative universe!:laugh:

    This Rainbird solenoid O-ring undergoes a 'wiping' action as the solenoid is turned. I'm sure the O-ring is manufactured with some lubricant on its surface, but that won't last forever, so the instructor might have had a point.

    Messages: 18,668

    New one on me but this is why all systems should have a remote for servicing so that you don't have to tinker with bleeds.

    In my experience the Rainbird solenoids get really hard to turn after a few years, especially if it is not used to turn the valve on.

    I haven't run into that problem on any Irritrol 2400s or Hunters though.

    Ditto....Also, w/Weather-Matic valves...no "O" ring to foul-up & internal
    bleed too!:)

    Since you don't recall what the instructor stated that the potential problem could be... any answer would just be guessing since the info you've posted is basically being taken out of context.

    A quarter turn of the solenoid has been the time tested failsafe method of activating a valve without bleeding water to atmosphere (i.e. the valve box) for many years. Many manufacturers have incorporated this method into their valves by either putting a plastic knob (actuator) over the solenoid or in a special adapter between the solenoid and the valve bonnet.

    Problems can occur if there is debris around the solenoid in the form of rocks, pebbles, plastic pieces and/or dirt as there is the chance some of it may work its way between the solenoid and bonnet creating leakage, breakage, "permanent activation", etc. Many manufacturers incorporate a "stop" position on their actuators so the solenoid cannot be turned too far.

    Of course, if the solenoid is turned too far then there is the potential of the solenoid coming completely off and activating the valve under pressure. If the valve is not equipped with a Flow Control to shut it down some models of valves are extremely hard to get the solenoid back into its threaded receiver because of pressurized water coming out of the solenoid ports in the bonnet. There is then the potential to crossthread either the solenoid or the receiving area which may in turn require the solenoid and/or valve bonnet to be replaced.

    If the solenoid does not have a "captured piston" then there is also the chance the piston will fall out unnoticed into the valve box in which case even screwing the solenoid back in will not shut down the valve.

    One of the crazy features of Weather-Matic is the lack of "captured piston",
    the piston & spring fall out waaay too easy.:hammerhead:

Home Sets the Tone

    Jill was given an assignment in her English class to write about her favorite place. She pondered the assignment, and then she began to write: “If I could choose any place to spend an hour or two, it would be in my home. Some of my friends think it is a punishment to stay at home, but I love to go home. I feel safe and happy there, surrounded by familiar personal things and happy memories.”

    We, too, can make our homes a place where our children love to be. Adults have some control over their environment, but children depend on adults to provide a home for them. In addition to love, security, understanding, and encouragement, reverence plays an important part in a safe and happy home.

    Reverence is respect, honor, and love for our Heavenly Father, for his Son, Jesus Christ, and for all of his creations. It is more than just holding our bodies still and being quiet during meetings; it is an attitude. It can become a way of life for each of us as members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

    Reverent habits often precede reverent feelings. Following are a few ways we can teach and nurture reverent feelings in our home and make reverence a way of life.

    1. We can pray. Prayer is a source of great peace for all of us. Habits of reverence can begin early in our home when we help children learn to pray. The way we pray with our children can be a teaching and building experience. While I was on a training assignment, I stayed for two days in the home of a large and faithful family. I was invited to join them as their family prayers were offered each morning and evening.

    Each family member who offered a prayer made this request: “Please bless us with a desire to serve a mission and to live worthy to be married in the temple.” This certainly was a plea first made by the loving parents in behalf of their children. As a result, the children now prayed for these same important blessings.

    Another family found that having family prayer at the same time every day allowed their oldest daughter, who was serving a mission, to calculate the exact time when her family would be kneeling in prayer. Then she knew that she was being blessed by the prayers of her family at that very moment.

    An eight-year-old boy recently told me of his baptism and confirmation. “My dad said I was his best friend,” the boy said with a smile on his face. “He said it in the prayer!” What great security it was to this boy to know his father had those feelings and expressed them in a prayer.

    Prayer can make our home a reverent place.

    2. We can have gospel discussions. At home with our families we can teach about sacred things. We can talk about Jesus Christ and about Heavenly Father’s plan for us. We can talk about what we can do in our own home to follow his plan, and we can discuss our goals for the future.

    From our experience, we find a gospel discussion can easily be initiated at the end of the mealtime. It cannot be too long, and it must be planned and have a purpose. Since we have two teenagers, we have been reading and discussing For the Strength of Youth and applying the standards to experiences the children have just had or are about to have. Establishing a common ground from which we can evaluate movies, concerts, books, and activities inside and outside our home has been a real blessing.

    Parents are the first and most important source of information to their children. Children should be able to feel confident that they can ask questions about anything, and that all questions will be honored with a truthful answer even if the answer is “no” or “I don’t know.”

    As children grow and participate in Primary, in Young Women or Young Men, and in Sunday School, parents will want to discuss at home the concepts children learn from their teachers. Teachers help build bridges from teaching at home to those at church. The value of such bridge building was illustrated when three-year-old Michael recently told his grandmother, “Moses was a baby. His mother wanted to save him from the wicked king, so she put him in a basket in the water. The basket didn’t sink. The queen found him, and he was safe.” When Michael’s grandmother asked him how he knew about baby Moses, he said, “I learned about him from my Primary teacher.”

    There are opportunities on a daily basis for parents to teach gospel principles. Not long ago I received a letter from a devoted third-grade teacher. “I teach the children a little about taking notes. One of my students said that he already knew how to take notes. When I asked him how he learned to take notes, he said, ‘Sometimes my father has to work on Sunday. When he does, I always take notes at sacrament meeting about what the speakers say. Then when Dad comes home, I can tell him all about it.’” A trusting father can also learn from his children.

    Young children are especially receptive and can feel reverent when we talk to them about how Heavenly Father and Jesus love each of them. Being kind, helpful, happy, and grateful are principles of the gospel. When we observe our children being kind or helpful, we can compliment them on their behavior and help them understand that when they live the gospel, they are living in a reverent way. Our prophet has promised us that simple and regular family home evenings will help make our home a place of learning and love and reverence.

    3. We can bear our testimony of gospel truths. Family members should bear testimony to one another about true gospel principles. All members can contribute. Even the youngest members can add important elements to a family conversation about their feelings. When parents and children participate in an open discussion about the gospel, it provides a setting where testimonies can be shared. As a part of this sharing, we can help children recognize when they are feeling the Spirit.

    I recently heard a grandfather tell of an experience he had when he gave a blessing to his very sick four-year-old granddaughter. After he had finished his blessing, the smiling child looked up at him and said, “Grandpa, that felt so good. Do it again, please.” What a beautiful opportunity for the grandfather to help this child identify reverent feelings of the Spirit.

    Certainly some of the sweetest and most memorable testimonies about the feelings of the Spirit are shared within the home. There was a time when our family had fasted for a young cousin. My daughter said that fasting was not difficult for her when she was doing it for someone she loved. But after the family prayer ending the fast, my daughter seemed a little disturbed. When I questioned her, she asked, “Why do I want to cry when I feel so good?” This gave me an opportunity to explain that she was feeling the Spirit witness to her that Heavenly Father had accepted our fast and prayer. This reverent feeling was a blessing of the Holy Spirit.

    When we show gentle but consistent daily concern, our home can set the tone for a reverent life-style, and our children will learn to be reverent in any situation. Opportunities will be presented regularly for us as parents to recognize the blessings of our Heavenly Father in our homes. Sensitizing ourselves and our children regarding the sacred, reverent feelings we have can help us make reverence a way of life.

    “And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:

    “And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.” (Deut. 6:6–7.)

Overcoming Adversity

Listen Download Print Share

The Prophet Joseph Smith taught us how to stand fast through trials.

Overcoming Adversity

Throughout his life the Prophet Joseph Smith was no stranger to adversity. He endured illness, injury, persecution, the loss of loved ones, and many other hardships. Through all of his trials he remained steadfast and true to the Lord, and he taught the Saints how to bear their difficulties. Here are some of Joseph Smith’s teachings on overcoming adversity. *

We Prove Ourselves through Trials

“[Jehovah] will not deliver us unless we prove ourselves faithful to him in the severest trouble. For he that will have his robes washed white in the blood of the Lamb must come up through great tribulation [see Revelation 7:13–14], even the greatest of all affliction.”

“Men have to suffer that they may come upon Mount Zion and be exalted above the heavens.”

Trust in the Lord

“The power of the Gospel will enable us to stand and bear with patience the great affliction that is falling upon us on all sides.”

“My only hope and confidence is in that God who gave me being. … He is my comforter, and he forsaketh me not.”

“Having confidence in the power, wisdom, and love of God, the Saints have been enabled to go forward through the most adverse circumstances.”

“Stand fast, ye Saints of God, hold on a little while longer, and the storm of life will be past, and you will be rewarded by that God whose servants you are.”

George A. Smith once received counsel from the Prophet: “He told me I should never get discouraged, whatever difficulties might surround me. If I was sunk in the lowest pit of Nova Scotia and all the Rocky Mountains piled on top of me, I ought not to be discouraged but hang on, exercise faith, and keep up good courage and I should come out on the top of the heap at last.”

The gall bladder (Latin: vesica fellea or vesica basilaris) is the storage organ for the bile and has a storage capacity of 40 – 50 ml. On its way from the liver to the duodenum, the bile runs through a duct system which is referred to as the bile ducts. The function of the gall bladder and the bile ducts is an elementary prerequisite for the complex process of digestion and can be impaired by typical diseases which a physician should know and understand. In order to understand the process of digestion, the spleen and the pancreas are also important.

Structure of the Bile Ducts

The bile ducts are usually divided into an intrahepatic (located inside the liver) and an extrahepatic (located outside the liver) part.

Intrahepatic bile ducts

Diagram showing the position of the intrahepatic bile ducts

Image: “Diagram showing the position of the intrahepatic bile ducts.” by Cancer Research UK. License: CC BY-SA 4.0

The bile ducts originate from the bile canaliculi (canaliculi bileferi), which do not have their own epithelium. Their lumen is solely formed by the apical poles of hepatocytes a they face each other and are connected by tight junctions. Due to this, the apical side of the hepatocytes is also referred to as peribiliary cell pole.

At the edge of a liver lobule, bile reaches small connecting ductules (canals of Hering) and then  the interlobular bile ducts (ductuli biliferi interlobulares) in the periportal fields. They have a diameter of roughly 40 µm and run alongside the branches of the portal hepatic vein and the proper hepatic artery as Glisson’s or portal triad.

The bile ducts are lined with an epithelium that can significantly increase the bile’s volume by secretion of bicarbonate and a passively following flow of water. The interlobular bile ducts eventually connect to form the two greater liver ducts, the right and left hepatic ducts.

Extrahepatic bile ducts

The extrahepatic – that is outside of the liver – part of the bile ducts begins with the fusion of the right and left hepatic duct which forms the common hepatic duct.

gall bladder

From the liver hilum, it runs roughly 4 cm in the caudal direction at the lower edge of the liver. There, it gives rise to the cystic duct which leads bile to the gall bladder. At this position, the hepatic duct becomes the common bile duct, which runs towards the duodenum for roughly 6cm, inside of the hepatoduodenal ligament.

Note: Often it is asked about the structures running in the hepatoduodenal ligament. Those are the origins of Glisson’s triad: the portal vein, the proper hepatic artery, and the common bile duct.

At its distal end and just before its fusion with the pancreatic duct, the bile duct contains a circular muscle, the sphincter muscle of the bile duct. By contraction, it can ensure an intermediate storage in the gall bladder.

When the pancreatic duct connects with the common bile duct, they form a joint ampulla (hepatopancreatic ampulla), which leads to the descending duodenum at the major duodenal papilla (papilla of Vater). The sphincter muscle of the hepatopancreatic ampulla (sphincter of Oddi) consists of smooth muscles and regulates the liberation of pancreatic secretion and bile into the duodenum. The sphincter system which regulates flow of bile and pancreatic juice into the duodenum is completely imbedded into the wall of the duodenum and is an extension of the duodenal musculature.

Location of the Gall Bladder

The gall bladder is situated at the visceral surface of the liver, which faces the abdominal organs. There, it lies in the gallbladder fossa. The gall bladder is located on the level of the ninth rib and borders the right colic flexure with its body.

Accessory Organs

Image: “Accessory Organs” by philschatz. License: CC BY 4.0

Dorsally, the neck and parts of the body directly lie next to the superior part of the duodenum. The gall bladder shares the peritoneal cover of the liver on the side that faces the intestine and, thus, lies intraperitoneally.

Shape and Structure of the Gall Bladder

In its shape, the gall bladder can be compared to a pear. In length, it measures eight to twelve centimeters and four to five centimeters in width. The gall bladder is divided into three parts:

  1. Neck (collum vesicae biliaris)
  2. Body (corpus vesicae biliaris)
  3. Fundus (fundus vesicae biliaris)

The gallbladder has a glistening white surface and contains golden bile . In diseased states, bacteria break down bile and transform the color of bile from gold to green.

Wall Structure of the Gall Bladder

The wall structure of the gall bladder complies with the basic structural scheme of human hollow organs and shows the following layers from inside to outside: tunica mucosa, tunica muscularis, and lamina subserosa.

The tunica mucosa protrudes into the lumen with mucous folds due to a layer of connective tissue. When the gall bladder fills up, these folds flatten and thus give the organ great elasticity. Sometimes, deep Rokitanski-Aschoff sinuses can be found. Characteristic of the mucosa of the gall bladder are mucous bridges, which can be explained by the contact of the mucous folds with one another.

The lumen of the gall bladder is lined with simple columnar epithelial cells with microvilli and tight junctions. Via Na+-reabsorption and a passive fluid flow, these epithelial cells function is to concentrate bile. The lamina propria of the mucosa consist of collagenous connective tissue, elastic fibers, and blood vessels that supply the mucosa.

The muscular tunica consists of smooth muscles in a sliding grill-like arrangement. Via contraction, the gall bladder is emptied into the bile duct.

Facing the liver, the outermost layer is the lamina subserosa, a connective tissue layer, which merges with the fibrous capsule (Glisson’s capsule) of the liver. Facing the intestine, it corresponds to the serous tunica (peritoneum).

Blood Supply and Innervation of the Gall Bladder

The arterial supply of the gall bladder is provided by the cystic artery, which originates from the right ramus of the proper hepatic artery. The cystic vein leads to the portal vein at the hepatoduodenal ligament.

The vegetative innervation originates from the hepatic plexus, which receives fibers from the coeliac plexus. A parasympathetic stimulation increases the otherwise hormonally controlled contraction of the gall bladder muscles and relaxes the sphincter muscles.

The peritoneal cover of the gall bladder is innervated by the phrenic nerve. The segment C4 also innervates the shoulder, which explains the development of shoulder pain after removal of the gallbladder.

Function of the Gall Bladder and the Bile Ducts

First of all, the gall bladder is an intermediate storage for the bile while it is not needed in the small bowel. In physiological conditions, the gall bladder can reach a volume of 40-50 ml.

Bile is highly concentrated in the gallbladder, where the mucosa actively absorbs Na+ and water. This way, bile can reach five to ten times its original concentration. This ‘thickened’ bile is referred to as bladder bile.

To prevent unintentional emptying of the gall bladder at high abdominal pressures, e.g. at defecation, there is the Heister’s valve at the transition from the neck of the gall bladder to the bile duct. This is a sequence of helically arranged mucous folds that can seal the exit of the gall bladder.

Mainly responsible for the release of the bile is the hormone cholecystokinin (CCK), which is produced by enteroendocrinal cells of the intestinal mucosa of the duodenum and is released when the chyme is rich in fats and amino acids. The hormone causes a contraction of the muscular tunica of the gall bladder, which presses the stored bile through the cystic duct, back into the bile ducts.

By relaxation of the sphincter muscle of the bile duct (sphincter of Oddi), the bile follows the lowest drainage resistance into the descending part of the duodenum. Mediated by acetylcholine, the vegetative nervous system has a similar effect. The hormone secretin, which also originates from the small bowel, directly stimulates secretion in the liver and thus increases the production of liver bile.

When the bile finally reaches the duodenum at the major duodenal papilla, it is an important factor for lipid absorption since bile acids and phospholipids form micelles with the fats of the food. Those micelles can be absorbed by the intestinal mucosa.

To minimize the synthetic expense, the important bile acids are re-absorbed in the terminal ileum. Via the portal vein, they are transported back into the liver. This is referred to as the enterohepatic circulation.

Diseases of the Gall Bladder and Bile Ducts and Their Symptoms

The function of the gall bladder and the bile ducts can be disturbed by some typical and frequently interrelated diseases. The following selection of the most important pathologies provides you with an overview.

Cholelithiasis – Bile Duct Stones

The impairment of excretion of bile by concretion (bile-duct stones) is referred to as cholelithiasis. In the intrahepatic bile ducts, this is called hepatolithiasis, while concretion in the bile duct is called choledocholithiasis. However, the most common location is the gall bladder, which is called cholecystolithiasis.

Image: “Unauffälliger Gallen- und Pankreasgang, mehrere unterschiedlich große Gallensteine in der Gallenblase und im Gallenblasengang” by J. Guntau. License: CC BY-SA 3.0

The most frequent cause for this is a solution imbalance of the bile and a resulting precipitation and crystallization, mostly of cholesterol. Beside these – by far most common – cholesterol stones, there also are bilirubin stones and calcium carbonate stones.

Patients do not show symptoms until a stone leaves the gall bladder and becomes lodged in the neck of the gallbladder, within the cystic duct or in the common bile duct, obstructing the flow of bile. Then, they primarily suffer from colicky pain in the right upper quadrant, nausea and vomiting a few hours after ingesting a fatty meal.

A gallstone can best be diagnosed with sonography where it can be seen by sonic shadowing.

Note: The 6xF rule for risk factors: female, fat, fertile, forty, fair, family

Cholecystitis – Inflammation of the Gall Bladder

Cholecystitis is the inflammation of the gall bladder and is based on cholecystolithasis in 90% of the cases. Through bile stasis, the mucosa is damaged and secondarily infected by ascending intestinal bacteria.

Patients suffer from pain in the right upper abdomen with radiation into the right shoulder and scapula. Often, they have fever and sometimes jaundice.

On sonography, a thickening of the wall of the gall bladder can be seen. Typical for this disease is the triple layering due to a wall edema. Treatment involves surgical removal of the gall bladder via a laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Note: Examiners often ask for Murphy’s sign, which is positive at a sudden stop of inspiration at palpation of the right upper abdomen.

Icterus – Jaundice

person with jaundice hepatic failure

Image: “A person with jaundice from hepatic failure.” by James Heilman, MD. License: CC BY 3.0

Icterus (jaundice) is the manifestation of hyperbilirubinemia which is an increase in bilirubin in blood with excretion of bile colorants from the blood into tissue.

Initially, an icterus can be seen in the sclera (scleral icterus). In more severe cases, it can also be seen on the whole skin of the patient. Types of icterus are differentiated depending on the location of the impairment:

  • Prehepatic icterus develops due to excessive production of bilirubin.
  • Hepatic icterus develops due to disturbance within the liver cell.
  • Posthepatic icterus develops due to mechanical drainage impairment in the bile ducts like a stone occluding the common bile duct.

Thus cholelithiasis usually leads to a posthepatic icterus at bile duct obstruction. Therapy usually is an ERCP with papillotomy, i.e. an incision of the papilla of Vater and stone extraction.

Other severe diseases of the gall bladder and the bile ducts are gall bladder cancer and cancer of the common bile duct. Newborns may be born with a condition called biliary atresia in which the biliary system is hypotrophic or absent.

Examination of the Gall Bladder and the Bile Ducts

Palpation The healthy gall bladder is not palpable. In case of drainage impairments, the gall bladder can bulge and be palpated under the right costal arch. If not associated with pain, this is called a positive Courvoisier’s sign. Courvoisier’s law (or Courvoisier syndrome, or Courvoisier’s sign or Courvoisier-Terrier’s sign) states that in the presence of a palpably enlarged gallbladder which is nontender and accompanied with mild painless jaundice, the cause is unlikely to be gallstones and more likely to be cancer.
Sonography The ultrasound-examination of the gall bladder is an easy, quick, and widely available diagnostic method and allows the assessment of size, wall texture, and potentially presence of stones in the gall bladder.
ERCP  ERCP (endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreaticography) is an endoscopic examination method to show the bile ducts, the gall bladder, and the pancreatic ducts using contrast agents. The bile ducts are accessed retrogradely from the duodenum. The advantage of the examination is that therapy can simultaneously occur via the endoscope. On the other hand, this invention still has an overall complication rate of roughly 10 %.

New Urban Decay Vice Lipsticks

New Vice Lipsticks from Urban Decay

Urban Decay Vice Lipstick Collection

So recently Urban Decay revamped their lipstick collection & released 100 beautiful Vive Lipstick shades in 6 indulgent finishes. All of the Vice Lipsticks come in a modern sleek gunmetal case with a rose gold base and UD embossed on both the lid and the actual lipstick bullet. The packaging feels luxurious and vampy which I like a lot.

The 6 finishes are

  • Mega Matte – Super Intense Matte
  • Comfort Matte – Urban Decay’s Creamiest Matte
  • Cream – The Original: creamy, badass, luxury
  • Metallized – Cream with a high level of pearl
  • Sheer– A punch of colour with a sheer, shiny finish
  • Sheer Shimmer – Slightly transparent finish with a floating pearl and a smooth texture

UD Vice Lipsticks

All the lipsticks have the most lovely formula, easy to apply and rich in colour as well as feeling comfortable on the lips. They contain Aloe Vera, Jojoba, Avocado and Babassu Oils which nourish and soften your lips. Vitamin C and Vitamin E provide a hit of antioxidants & Illipe Butter provides that all important long lasting moisture.

I have 6 of them to show you & my gosh what a beautiful selection of shades & finishes they are!

Pandemonium / Mega Matte*

This is a bold, bright vivid pop of purple and isn’t for the faint of heart. Its a really rich shade and I like that its a nice bright purple rather than a dark purple. It was quite hard to get an even application of this shade as it wasn’t as creamy as the other 5 shades but once on it does look beautiful. This is a little drying on the lips but as it is a matte finish I guess that is to be expected.

New Urban Decay Vice Lipstick-collection

714 / Mega Matte*

This beautiful bold red is from the recent Gwen Stefani Collection & is now a permanent shade. It is a mega matte finish and this shade stays put on my lips for ages. The colour is a rich red with orange undertones and I would say, if you can, use a lip liner with this shade as it does bleed. It does drag slightly when applying it to your lips but its worth the perseverance as it is just the most gorgeous easy to wear red.

Firebird / Cream*

Did someone say PINK! If you like a pink lip then this is undoubtedly the most intense, rich creamy pink I have ever worn. The colour is vibrant and the creamy formula means that it feels nourishing and smooth on your lips. In the bullet this lipstick looks a little more on the purple side but don’t be fooled, it is a true fuchsia pink. Even though this has a cream finish its still long wearing on the lips and the colour stays looking vibrant for hours. This shade is also a shade from the recent Gwen Stefani collection and I’m in love with it. I tend to shy away from bright shades but this has won me over and I have been enjoying wearing it.

New Vice Lipsticks from Urban Decay

Backtalk / Comfort Matte*

OK this is totally in my comfort zone, its a rose pink nude and it just looks effortless and pretty on the lips. This has become my everyday lipstick, it applies so evenly and is opaque in one application. It doesn’t feel at all drying on my lips, and this wears so well without going patchy or fading throughout the day. I am in love with this shade. I do like the bright colours too but we all have those shades that we feel most comfortable in & for me this is that shade.

Big Bang / Metallized*

This is one of those lipsticks I wish I had the balls to wear out in public & not just in the house. This is a sweet sheer pink with a glossy silvery pink fleck finish. This is a statement lipstick and it looks very metallic on the lips, almost duo-chrome. I think its pretty but quite hard to wear. Out of the 6 shades I have this was the hardest to apply & achieve an even coverage, I had to go over my lips quite a few times to build up the colour and get a clean even finish. It does feel creamy on the lips & smooth too. Its such a fun shade and not at all subtle!

Urban Decay Vice Lipstick Swatches

So there you have it a the Vice Lipsticks are a huge exciting launch from Urban Decay and they have everything from bold brights, vampy plums to beautiful wearable neutrals and everything in between. What shades do you have your eye on?

The packaging of this new release from Jurlique is beautiful, it comes in a pretty box embossed with roses & the empowering message ‘Bloom Where You’re Planted’. Inside you are met with a gorgeous ombre pink glass bottle. It looks and feels very luxurious, I’m absolutely in love with it & there is no way you will run out of this in a hurry because its huge at 200ml, its a whopper of a bottle.

Ted Baker W Gift Set

Ted Baker W Gift Set

Ted Baker always have such lovely gift sets & I have been trying out the new W Gift Set which features Ted’s S/S15 Distinguishing Rose packaging. The floral design is so detailed and makes this gift set look extra special and feel feminine & luxurious.

This Ted Baker W Gift Set* contains a 30ml W Eau de Toilette, a 100ml Body Wash and Body Lotion, so three great products. I think this set is ideal for any friend or family member, and would suit most ages too.

Ted Baker Gift Set

The W Body Lotion* & Body Wash* are products that always get used and for me I can never have enough of either. These both have the same beautiful floral designs as the gift box & the same scent as the perfume which smells Summery and girly. The body lotion is hydrating and absorbs quickly into the skin and the body wash is a lovely way to start the day, it smells fresh and Summery. So they make a great morning combination.

Ted Baker W Gift Set

For me the W Eau de Toilette* is the stand out product in this set, its presented in a really pretty triangular shaped glass bottle which feels heavy and luxurious. It’s such an unusual and pretty shape, I love it. The scent has,

  • Heart notes of Freesia, Rose, Ylang Ylang and Lily of the Valley
  • Top notes of Bergamot, Tangerine, Peach and Rum
  • Base notes of Vanilla, Musk and Vetiver

It has quite floral scent with a hint of sweetness to it. Its a lovely Summery scent that would be really nice during the warmer months because its not a heavy or heady scent but instead smells fresh and lightweight, the perfect daytime perfume. This lasted all day on me. I sprayed some on my scarf a week ago & I can still smell it on there, so it is quite long lasting. I love that the product is pink and looks really feminine, and this gift set is so inexpensive, at £14.99 you get three good sized products and its beautifully packaged.

Ted Baker W Fragrance

This beautiful Ted Baker W Gift Set is £14.99 and exclusive to The Perfume Shop & they offer FREE standard delivery on all orders.

My Lip Crayon Collection

I love to see what other beauty bloggers have in their Muji Storage or just how they store their makeup in general. I am that person who can watch makeup collections on YouTube for hours. I don’t have a huge collection because I just don’t have the space to store it and I like to give products to friends & family that I don’t often use or that don’t work for me. So I thought over the next few weeks I would show you a peak at how I store my makeup & let you see the products I keep.

MUJI Makeup Storage

Today is what I like to call my lip crayons drawer, crayons are easily my favourite lip product I do have a few liquid lipsticks in there too. I like the packaging of lip crayons and how easy they are to apply. I also love that so many brands have released their own versions. The lip crayons in the top drawer are the ones I use most often and this cute 2 drawer Muji Storage is the perfect size & depth to keep them in.

Lip Crayons

Top Layer

No7 High Shine Lip Crayons – I have two of these in the shades Delicate Pink & Day Dreamer. They feel and look glossy on the lips. They don’t have much pigment but look pretty as an everyday lip colour, especially if you like minimal makeup. These are mini as they were a Christmas release.

Collection Work The Colour Lip Butters  I have two of these in the shades Vintage Rose & Perfect Plum. Both colours are pigmented and look so pretty on the lips. The plum shade is vibrant and the rose is a soft and elegant peachy pink. These are not overly glossy and don’t feel slippy or greasy on the lips. They wear really well on me & I think these are my favourite budget lip crayons.

Clinique Chubby Stick Intense  This is in Roundest Raspberry & WOW does it pop a colour. Its very similar to the Collection Perfect Plum, just more glossy & long wearing. I think this shade is a limited edition colour but I know that Clinique have a great selection of these chubby sticks.

NARS Velvet Gloss Lip Pencil  This is in the shade New Lover which is quite a complex but pretty shade. In some lights it looks like a dark pink & in other lights the shimmer comes through & it looks peach. It looks incredible and glossy on the lips. There is a definite shimmer to this pencil so I don’t wear it during the day but it is a pretty night lip look.

No7 BB Lips SPF15 In Blink Pink. I have had this for quite a while now & love to use it in the warmer months, its the glossy sugary pink shade. Its quite pigmented for a gloss & I like that it has SPF 15. I keep meaning to buy more of these when I have my No7 vouchers. Let me know if you have any of these & what colours you would recommend.

Wet n Wild Lip Shimmer  In the shade 106 Spice. This has no shimmer in it, so the name is very misleading. It is a tinted lip balm (but has the pigmentation of a lipstick) & reminds me very much of the Korres Lip Butter in Wild Rose. It is a deep mauve pink shade & if you build it up it can look quite red. I love this & for the price I wish I’d bought a couple more. I use this all the time & always forget how pigmented it is.

Origins Kiss-Zing Lip Crayon* – In the shade Rosemance. It’s a pretty creamy brown shade and it’s the ideal lip colour for when I want my makeup to look low key but still put together. It is a neutral easy to wear light brown shade which is also hydrating & nourishing for the lips. It has Meadowfoam Seed and Jojoba Oils with Mango Seed and Shea Butters, so jam packed full of beneficial ingredients to keep your lips healthy and smooth. These come in 6 pretty wearable shades, perfect for Spring / Summer.

These Kiss-Zing Lip Colours are a new release from Origins & I have done a full review Rosemance, so look out for that on the blog next week.

Bottom Layer

Rimmel Apocalips Lip Lacquer  I have the shades Galaxy, Luna and Celestial. They’re glossy, pigmented and have great staying power. They can be quite messy and a little product goes a long way. I don’t wear Luna too much, it is a peachy orange shade and looks pretty in the warmer months. Celestial is a warm pink and is such an easy colour to wear. Its low key but very brightening and quite a nice Spring shade. Galaxy is my favourite of the three, mostly because I think plums / berry shades look better on me & Galaxy is a deep plum and might be more of a Autumn / Winter shade but I like to wear it all year round. It is glossy and pigmented but you can blot any of these with tissue to reduce the colour and they still look amazing.

Lord & Berry Twisticks*  In the shades Shut Up & Rock and Rose. Rock & Rose is a gorgeous bright girly pink. I was a little scared of this shade at first but it was so nice on. With my fair skin & dark hair this shade really popped, it stood out but in a good way. Shut Up is a gorgeous berry pink, It gives my lips the prettiest wash of colour. One coat is enough, no need to build it up as the colour payoff is so good. These are really good quality and are long wearing.

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains – I have two of these in the shades Lovesick and Cherish Devotion. I wore these so much when I first bought them and must say since getting the Lord & Berry and Collection ones they haven’t had much love. Lovesick is a bright pink, its bold and very pigmented. Cherish Devotion is more of a baby pink and is very glossy. They both have that minty scent which I am not overly keen on but it doesn’t last too long. Revlon have such big range of lip crayons in all different colours & finishes. What are your favourite from their range?

P.S Love Lip Gloss Crayon  This is from Primark & doesn’t have a colour name but it is a glossy nude shade. It looks natural and pretty, the staying power isn’t wonderful but I don’t mind reapplying throughout the day. This has a sweet scent and I tend to wear this when I’m popping out & have very little makeup on, as its so subtle but makes my lips look even and glossy.

Collection Cream Puff Lip Cream  In Cotton Candy. The colour is a deep pink which applies evenly and creamy on the lips. It feels moisturising & it dries to a velvet matte finish. Despite this being a matte finish it doesn’t feel drying at all & wears off the lips evenly after a few hours. Its pretty, cheap & it smells so good! Thats 3 reasons you should buy it, if you haven’t already.

Let me know how you store your lip products & if you’ve tried any of the ones in this post.

Sebelius reiterates Obama: birth control mandate pays for itself because fewer babies are born

Kathleen Gilbert

WASHINGTON, March 2, 2012 (LifeSiteNews.com) - U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius reiterated an argument President Obama offered weeks ago to defend the controversial birth control mandate for religious employers: that no one really pays for birth control because reducing the number of people born will lessen health insurers’ costs in the long run.

As reported by CNS.com, Sebelius gave the remarks during a House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Health hearing on Obama’s 2013 budget proposal, where Rep. Tim Murphy (R-Pa.) asked regarding the birth control mandate, “Who pays for it? There’s no such thing as a free service.”

“The reduction in the number of pregnancies compensates for the cost of contraception,” Sebelius replied.

“So you’re saying by not having babies born, we’re going to save money on health care?” Murphy asked, prompting Sebelius to defend contraception as “a critical preventive health benefit for women and for their children.”

Click “like” if you want to end abortion!

President Obama last month had attempted to quell controversy over the mandate, which would require religious employers’ health plans to cover abortifacient drugs, contraception and sterilizations, by claiming that the employer would not really pay for the drugs because they would be offered for “free.”

The president explained at the time that, “The overall cost of health care is lower when women have access to contraceptive services.”

Following Obama’s statements, the National Right to Life Committee swiftly pointed out that the “scam” of suggesting that no one really pays for birth control could easily be expanded to justify forcing religious employers to cover abortion.

“By ordering health plans to cover elective abortion, health plans would save the much higher costs of prenatal care, childbirth, and care for the baby,” said NRLC Legislative Director Douglas Johnson.

“Under the Obama scam, if a procedure saves money, then that means that you’re not really paying for it when the government mandates it.”

A Congressional bid to stop the mandate was narrowly rejected by the Senate on Thursday, 51-48.

EastEnders teens recast

Lucy Beale (Melissa Suffield) and Ben Mitchell (Charlie Jones) are to be replaced by new actors in 'EastEnders' and not written out from the show as was previously thought

Axed EastEnders actress Melissa Suffield

Axed EastEnders actress Melissa Suffield

'EastEnders' characters Lucy Beale and Ben Mitchell are to be recast.

The teenage Albert Square residents - played by Melissa Suffield and Charlie Jones - have not been written out of the BBC One soap permanently, but are going to be replaced by actors with "higher levels" of experience.

A show insider said: "Sometimes a higher level of experience is needed as characters mature.

"It's common practice to recast actors employed as children to take on more challenging adult storylines."

Charlie, who has played hardman Phil Mitchell's partially-deaf son for four years, was reportedly inconsolable when he heard the news last night (06.06.10).

His character Ben is set to exit as part of a dramatic storyline involving step-sister Louise.

However, the schoolboy will return to the show in the future, but will be portrayed by a different actor.

Melissa's departure from the soap - where she has worked for six years - comes after rumours she is facing the axe because of her behaviour outside the show, and was giving a warning earlier in the year after she was photographed outside a London nightclub, despite being 17.

A source recently said: "Melissa has been hauled before bosses on a number of occasions for her behaviour and attitude outside work.

"So when things didn't improve they had no choice but to write her out of the show."

Melissa is set to leave the show this summer.
