I love street photography, because the moment that tells a story only exists for a fraction of a second... then it's gone forever. You have to see it coming, have everything set and release the shutter exactly when it happens. If you succeed, you have captured something very rare and precious that can never be re-created.

Update: Hacker and ransomware group REvil has mysteriously removed all Apple’s schematics references, related to the extortion attempt, from its dark web blog, reports MacRumors. However, it is still not clear though if the tech giants have paid the ransome or not.
Apple has been targeted in a $50 million ransomware assault following the robbery of a trove of engineering and assembling schematics of current and future items from Quanta, a Taiwan-based organization that makes MacBooks and different items for the company.
The leak, first announced by The Record, was done by REvil, a Russian hacking bunch that is likewise known by the name Sodinokibi. The group had effectively started posting the stolen pictures on April twentieth, coordinated explicitly to harmonize with Apple’s most recent “Spring Loaded” occasion, after Quanta refused the $50 million payoffs for the information. The group is currently expecting to get Apple itself to pay up by May first, promising to keep on posting new pictures from the leak every day until it does.
Quanta has affirmed that its servers were penetrated in a proclamation to Bloomberg, remarking: “Quanta Computer’s data security team has worked with outer IT specialists because of cyber assaults on few Quanta servers.” Quanta likewise says “there’s no material effect on the organization’s business activity” because of the hack.
REvil has a background marked by similar ransomware assaults, Bleeping Computer brings up, with the group additionally doing similar hacks on Acer and different organizations in the previous while. Yet, the Quanta assault — by temperance of its association with Apple and the possibility to uncover unannounced equipment — marks the group’s most prominent target yet.
The organization hasn’t explained the degree of the break yet, however, pictures spilled by REvil so far incorporate schematics for Apple’s just uncovered iMac overhaul — which, before yesterday, hadn’t been seen by anybody outside of the company’s range of prominence, lending assurance to the way that the records are surely exact. The schematics likewise include alerts for essentially every page: “This is the property of Apple and it should be returned,” and they determine that the records are not to be duplicated, replicated, or distributed.
Likewise contained inside the uncovered records are fabricating outlines for Apple’s as of now delivered 2020 M1 MacBook Air refresh and an at this point unreleased laptop (could be 14-inch MacBook Pro and a 16-inch MacBook Pro) that includes extra ports (a USB-C, full-size HDMI port, and an SD card slot) by the current tales for the upcoming laptop refresh from Apple.
These records were taken and are being spilled to blackmail Apple and Quanta.


Join us on this enlightening journey through the meticulous scrutiny and steadfast commitment to quality that defines the path from discovery to patient care.
The journey from laboratory discovery to a market-ready pharmaceutical product is a complex and highly regulated process. At our quality and regulatory consulting firm, we recognize that understanding the FDA drug approval process is paramount for pharmaceutical companies operating in the life science industry.
This process serves as the gateway to bringing safe and effective drugs to patients. In this comprehensive guide, we will demystify the FDA drug approval process, shedding light on the intricate steps, clinical trials, regulatory submissions, and meticulous reviews that pave the way for new medicines to reach the market.
Understanding the FDA Drug Approval Process
The FDA drug approval process can be broken down into several key stages, each designed to ensure the safety, efficacy, and quality of pharmaceutical products. Let's explore these stages in detail:
1. Drug Discovery and Development:
This initial phase involves extensive research to identify promising drug candidates. Scientists conduct laboratory experiments and preclinical studies to assess the compound's safety and effectiveness. Once a promising candidate emerges, the drug development process begins.
2. Pre-IND (Investigational New Drug) Phase:
Before initiating clinical trials in humans, pharmaceutical companies must submit an Investigational New Drug (IND) application to the FDA. This application includes preclinical data, information about the manufacturing process, and proposed clinical trial protocols. The FDA reviews the IND application to ensure patient safety and scientific validity.
3. Clinical Trials:
Clinical trials are the heart of the FDA drug approval process. They are conducted in three phases:
Phase I: Involves a small number of healthy volunteers to evaluate the drug's safety, dosage, and potential side effects.
Phase II: Enrolls a larger group of patients to assess the drug's effectiveness and further evaluate safety.
Phase III: Enrolls a larger patient population and provides more extensive safety and efficacy data.
The results of these trials are crucial in determining whether the drug is safe and effective for its intended use.
4. New Drug Application (NDA) Submission:
After successful completion of clinical trials, the pharmaceutical company submits an NDA to the FDA. This submission includes comprehensive data on the drug's safety and efficacy, manufacturing processes, labeling, and proposed use. The FDA reviews the NDA to assess the drug's overall benefit-risk profile.
5. FDA Review and Action:
The FDA conducts a rigorous review of the NDA, which includes input from multidisciplinary teams of experts. This review assesses the drug's safety, efficacy, labeling, and manufacturing processes. The FDA may request additional information or clarification during this process.
6. Advisory Committee Review:
In some cases, the FDA convenes an independent advisory committee of experts to review the NDA and provide recommendations.
While the committee's input is valuable, the final decision rests with the FDA.
7. FDA Approval or Rejection:
Based on the thorough review and assessment, the FDA makes a decision to approve or reject the drug. If approved, the drug is granted a New Drug Approval (NDA) and can enter the market for its intended use.
Even after approval, the FDA continues to monitor the drug's safety and effectiveness through post-market surveillance programs. This ongoing assessment helps ensure the drug's continued safety for patients.
FDA Expedited Programs
In certain cases, the FDA may expedite the review and approval process for drugs that address unmet medical needs or provide significant benefits. Expedited programs include Fast Track, Breakthrough Therapy, Priority Review, and Accelerated Approval.
The FDA drug approval process is a rigorous and highly regulated journey, marked by meticulous evaluation, clinical trials, and scientific scrutiny. It serves as a crucial safeguard for patient safety, ensuring that only safe and effective drugs reach the market. As a quality and regulatory consulting firm specializing in the life science industry, we understand the complexities and nuances of this process.
If your pharmaceutical company is navigating the FDA drug approval process, our experienced team is here to offer guidance and support at every stage. From IND preparation to NDA submission, we can help you streamline your regulatory pathway, enhance your product's chances of approval, and ultimately bring innovative medicines to patients in need.

Local golfers are being challenged to play 72 holes on one day to raise vital funds for the Cancer Society.
A test of stamina and skill, The Longest Day Golf Challenge invites either solo golfers or teams — preferably two to four players — to play four rounds either next month or during January to take advantage of the year’s longest days.
The Cancer Society raised $50,000 from its inaugural challenge, and is running it again as many of its fundraising events — such as a ‘Rocky Horror’-themed Queenstown ball —
have been cancelled due to Covid restrictions.
One of the top fundraising teams last time was led by Arrowtown’s Millbrook Resort head pro Micah Dickinson.
They played four local courses and this time are aiming to play 100 holes, including The Farm nine-holer at Arrowtown’s The Hills and Millbrook’s new nine.
Golfers can enter via longestday.org.nz, and are advised to check course availability when planning their challenge.
Cancer Society regional marketing & fundraising manager Jonet Warhurst says funds raised ‘‘will make a real difference to people living with cancer’’.
The society provides advice and support for cancer patients along with education and
awareness program mes and life-saving cancer research.

A former long-serving vice-president of the WA Police Union announced yesterday he would challenge president Russell Armstrong for the top job in next month's union elections.
Insp. Chris Cassidy, who resigned from the union board almost two years ago in protest over controversial comments made by Mr Armstrong about WA's Aboriginals, said he believed the union was being poorly run and needed change.
Insp. Cassidy said he would run for a position on the board, which then selects the president.
This week he sent a strongly worded email to each of the union's more than 5000 members in which he claimed the organisation had lost its political clout and was not providing them with value for money.
In the email he claimed that he had been approached by "many members" who had asked him to nominate for the presidency.
These members had outlined various concerns about the union, including the board's "lack of transparency on many matters", a "lack of financial accountability" and the "soaring, unrestrained cost of legal services".
Insp. Cassidy said yesterday he was unimpressed by the work done by Mr Armstrong since he took over from Mike Dean in 2009.
He said the union's reputation had been tarnished when Mr Armstrong, after an assault on a Carnarvon policewoman, claimed WA's Aboriginals had a culture of drunken violence towards women and police which indigenous leaders did nothing to address.
Insp. Cassidy said he had served on the union board for 14 years as a director, treasurer, senior vice-president and chairman of the legal committee.
Mr Armstrong said he was disappointed that Insp. Cassidy's email had been leaked to the media. He said he would not enter into a public debate.
He claimed the criticisms made by Insp. Cassidy were "not concerns shared by myself or the board of directors".
Mr Armstrong confirmed he would nominate for the board and, if elected, to retain the presidency.


I am looking for a website or reference in WoT that will help identify the weak points in Tank Armour. Some tanks I have found weak spots just through gameplay. I.E the lower plate on the frtont of LOWE, Rear hatch of KV tuuret( so inviting), Drivers Hatch, and other weak points. However some tanks finding a weak spot is impossible. 1. some tanks I have only faced a few times. 2. You dont always get a oppertunity to select where you want to hit the tank in the middle of a battle so you dont get time to explore weak points.
Let me be clear I dont want hit/cheat skins. Just a reference, I am willing to put in the time to memorize the info, just dont know the source. Thanks if anyone knows a good site.

Bam Margera is sadly behind bars (again) after getting into it with patrons in the bar of a Hollywood hotel. Perhaps the worst part is that Bam was supposed to currently be in rehab.
Police responded to the Luxe Hotel on Sunset after a member of the hotel's staff placed him under citizen's arrest. Bam apparently refused to leave the premises and continued talking trash to hotel guests. Bam was booked at 2:30 AM Wednesday by LAPD.
In the video obtained by TMZ, Bam can be seen plopped down in the middle of the lobby in an apparent standoff with the fist officer on the scene. The female officer tried to convince him to get up and go peacefully, warning Bam that backup was on the way but he refused to go.
In another bizarre turn, Bam claims he was paid $100,000 by a woman to confront / catch her cheating husband.
The officer told Bam, "This is not a f**king reality TV show. I know you're fresh out of rehab, so let's get your s**t together."
On Tuesday, he posted a video of himself getting Dr. Phil's name tatted on his neck, and thanked him for trying to get him help. This came after an intense session with Dr. Phil where Bam's wife Nikki and his mother confronted him about his substance abuse.
He was eventually arrested for trespassing and is currently being held on $1,000 bail.


During 2015, the Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund (NMCF) undertook a strategic review of its five year plan, the path we have been on for the last several years, and what is needed to pave the way to a successful future.
We are emboldened by the progress we have made and are happy to announce that consistent execution on strategic undertakings has led to many of our pre-agreed goals being met. These include building a child rights movement and active citizen participation on child related issues. The strategy particularly focussed on nurturing, protection, connectedness and safety of our children.
As we continue the journey and in line with our culture and practice we undertook a research to determine the best positioning for addressing the most pressing issues facing children. In the process the Fund was ably assisted by Deloitte that offered its professional services pro bono. The exercise identified critical challenges facing children and their families. The challenges that were identified included Housing and Sanitation, Child Survival and Malnutrition, Child Abuse, Youth unemployment and Children Living with disabilities.
A new five year strategy for the period 2016-2021 was adopted by the board of trustees. The strategy focuses on three primary areas, namely:
• Child Survival, Development and Thriving: The intervention aims to improve the survival of children under the age of three and enhance their potential to develop and thrive.
• Child Protection and Safety with focus on Safe Schools: This intervention aims to promote, in partnership with all relevant stakeholders and role players, a safe learning and teaching schooling environment and experience. We believe that the school provide a focal point for inculcating the values of child safety and protection in homes and society.
• Youth Think Tanks: The intervention sees young people as change agents themselves and aims to promote youth agency in the promotion of child survival development and safety in schools.
The adoption of the new strategy, informed by the organisational review, will ensure that the NMCF will enhance its impact and deliver greater value to all of its stakeholders. The review was further motivated by the desire to achieve administrative and operational efficiencies thus becoming more nimble, agile and an effective organisation at all times.
The last operational strategy while commendable was not sustainable in the long term especially when taking into consideration the deepening crisis facing children and their families as well as challenges related to raising sufficient financial resources to sustain the institution and its programs in a changing operational environment of the sector.
We will continue to invest in our people and challenge them to identify ways to enhance the Fund’s flexibility and position NMCF as a strategic partner to you, our stakeholders. We will continue to strive to achieve a healthy and optimum balance between the desirable administrative costs in relation to the benefits accruing to communities. We will further strive to be nimble, agile, accessible, and as responsive as we are proactive.
We have had deep and thoughtful consultations with all staff in an effort to hopefully, minimise and mitigate any adverse effects of the changes that we are introducing. We are aware of our responsibility towards society and our constant desire to push for better effectiveness and efficiencies gives us the strength we need to navigate and continue to position ourselves in the best interest of the child.
We hope to continue to keep you informed and updated about our operational Imperatives as we evolve and grow. Please note that as the result of the organizational change the following senior managers, who have served the organization and the sector with great distinction have now left us. We know that each of them will remain great advocates in changing the way society treats children and youth.

As I launch into several new e-mentoring projects for 2010 I am reminded of what worked and what didn’t work from e-mentoring experiences in previous years.
In order to avoid the same issues and problems in previous years I now consider the following Do’s and Don’ts for successful ementoring:
- begin by establishing a relationship of trust
- build confidence through acknowledgement of achievements (one step at a time)
- communicate frequently and choose supportive language
- provide solutions and support for their issues when requested
- provide tutoring in selected web 2.0 tools when required
- advise on suitable e-practices to suit their organisation
- meet with them f2f and online
- have a shared agreement on frequency of contact
- have a shared understanding of their goals
- assume you know what their needs are
- bombard them with jargon and unknown language
- expect them to know what they don’t know about elearning
- push them into irrelevant elearning
- underestimate their organisational ability
- expect them to embrace elearning with the same enthusiasm as yourself
- overburden them with tasks and activities that they don’t have time for
- forget that they have busy schedules and limited time
- forget to challenge them
- forget to praise and reward them
What does successful e-mentoring feel like?
Recently I asked a person I was mentoring to indicate what their favourite online tool was and they replied –
- That’s easy – Coach Carole!

With the simplicity and affordability of on line research help solutions, it may be attractive for some to abuse such solutions by obtaining the trainer resolve most of the student’s preparation problems on a typical basis. This is simply not the supposed purpose of the service. As an alternative, the preparation company must be properly used as an academic aid to be able to augment the child’s awareness of math concepts.
The best way to use a research service is to utilize it as an educational aid. Especially, the next steps must certanly be used when considering such a support:
1. Recognize the kind of problems that your kid problems with. It may be solving programs of 2 linear algebraic equations or it might be finding the style among some numbers. Once you find the sort of issue that poses the most difficulty for your youngster, you can then determine weaknesses.
2. Pick an issue from your own child’s textbook(s) that particularly targets the weaknesses identified in stage 1.
3. This issue must be delivered to the research support service. Once the clear answer is acquired, the solution practices and practices must be learned carefully. The trainer may typically outline the perfect solution is in an in depth form.
4. The student should examine the perfect solution is to comprehend the reasoning behind the perfect solution is, and then a scholar should attempt to use the same reason to fix different similar problems.
The recovery time taken between submitting a preparation issue and receiving the solution must be relatively short. Usually, the student might publish the preparation issue free of charge by filling out a simple form. Then a student may receive a price offer that may signify the expense of performing the homework problem. When https://homeworkneeded.com/ is delivered, the scholar receives the preparation solution via email with a comprehensive explanation.
Some research support support websites enables students to have their support by offering a free trial offer or discount to new customers. On the web research sites are getting significantly more common. However, it is very important to always use these services without becoming very dependent upon them, while however benefiting from their simplicity and convenience.

Ok question on blogs.
So I just won a blog by chance cause of the Unova United contest in the Fifth Generation forum. So how do I add extra blocks to my sidebar? I noticed some people have extra sections for like an About Me or a block for their team in a Pokemon game or a Status. I've looked everywhere but can't find that option?
Does it need a certain tier of Supporter to do it?

Guy Who Voted to Add $1.9 Trillion to the National Debt to Fund Rich Person Tax Cuts: Think of the Children
Photo credit: Anna Moneymaker - Getty Images
We came across a series of rules that the United States will spend $ 3.5 trillion without blinking when it comes to war. We will also be spending huge sums of money if it means big companies and rich people paying less taxes. At the same time, many of the same people who want to "run government like a business" would prefer not to see taxes as revenue brought in to offset the cost of government initiatives. In contrast to the napkin stylings of the Presidential Medal of Freedom (!) Recipient Art Laffer, the real world has shown time and time again that lower taxes don't magically lead to more revenue by generating explosive private sector growth.
The 2017 Republican Tax Act, whose benefits went disproportionately to people and entities already doing A-OK, was estimated by the Congressional Budget Office to add $ 1.9 trillion to the dreaded national debt over a 10-year period. None of the Republicans in Congress who passed it on a party basis seemed to care. The Budget Reconciliation Act currently under consideration, which would dramatically expand and strengthen the American social safety net, would cost $ 3.5 trillion over 10 years, although it would adjust the tax bill to generate more than $ 900 billion in additional revenue . Anyway, Nebraska Senator Ben Sasse, who voted (with a contentious statement attached) to add nearly $ 2 trillion to the debt a few years ago so rich people could pay less taxes, is now convinced that the Law of Atonement is a mortgage for the future of our children.
Is it "taxing the boys" sending them to college? Is it "taxing the youth", providing childcare and paid family leave, even if the Democrats work through a highly questionable mechanism to ensure the latter? Is it to "tax the youth" seriously to begin the process of decarbonizing our energy and transportation systems so that the youth will have a planet to live on that is as hospitable as possible to human civilization as we know it ?
This is really just boogedy-boogedy by Sasse, who seems to have missed the memo that no one is pretending to care about The National Debt anymore. People who have tried to block more government spending - a method of investing in our people and providing social goods that the free market could not deliver - have feared runaway inflation due to some soaring prices in recent quarters. This is by no means limited to Republicans. Conservative Democrats like Joe Manchin are also sounding the alarm about inflation and even debt, which again doesn't care as long as we use bullets and bombs and Predator drones and top-notch tax cuts and fighter jets that don't work on the credit card. The nickel-and-gram approach only comes into play when we are talking about investing in things that could help people who have failed to hire enough lobbyists to advance their interests in the marble halls.

FEI Introduces New Solution for Gunshot Residue Analysis in Forensics
(Nanowerk News) FEI Company, a leading provider of high-resolution imaging and analysis systems, today announced the release of two dedicated scanning electron microscopes (SEMs) and a new software package for automated analysis of gunshot residues (GSR). Forensic scientists use GSR analysis to match residues from victims and suspects. The new GSR S50 and GSR F50 SEMs include the newly-released Magnum™ GSR software and specially-modified hardware to provide fully-automated analysis with dramatic improvements in speed, accuracy and affordability.
"These new systems are specifically designed to address the needs of forensic laboratories for fast, reliable analysis," said Paul Scagnetti, vice president and general manager of FEI's Industry Division. "GSR analysis can be a long and tedious process, yet the results are often used to make life and death decisions. The S50 and F50 completely automate the analysis procedure reducing opportunity for operator error. The systems include dedicated validation routines for accurate results. In addition, optimal use of the SEM's imaging capabilities and features, such as the beam current booster, give faster, more repeatable results."
GSR analysis uses high-resolution SEM imaging to locate residue particles, and X-ray spectrometry to determine their elemental composition. The GSR S50's ability to image uncoated samples in low vacuum mode helps preserve sample integrity. The GSR F50's field emission source delivers higher spatial resolution and puts more beam current into a smaller spot for faster, more precise X-ray analysis.
The new Magnum GSR software, included in both systems, uses the SEM's native imaging capabilities to locate particles, which is a much faster method than the conventional approach that uses the X-ray system to control the particle imaging and detection process. A specially-designed beam current booster (BCB) increases beam current during X-ray data acquisition to improve the speed and precision of the analysis. To help optimize price/performance, both systems are fully compatible with the latest high count rate silicon drift X-ray detectors from Bruker Corporation and EDAX. They also include built-in validation procedures that use the latest standard layouts of the ENFSI proficiency tests.

Football is an emotion, they say. An emotion for everyone, even for the girls who watch the game because they love it. Yet, there are so many people who ask the female Football enthusiasts ridiculous questions that they would have never asked a male.
There are women who know more names than Neymar, Ronaldo and Messi. Yes, they exist. There are women who understand the offside rule, the difference between scorpion kick and bicycle kick and know the lesser played positions like, the poacher and manager-player.
Here are 5 ridiculous questions that a female Football enthusiast is tired of hearing:
1. You watch Football only to impress your boyfriend, don’t you?
If that man is already her boyfriend then why should she impress him? And even if she has to, why will she start watching Football?
2. Did your father teach you so much about Football?
.Why can’t their mom, websites, girlfriends or Youtube teach them about Football? There is so much content out there now! Why should it be their father or boyfriend, always!
3. Can you explain the Offside rule in detail?
Definitely, they will if you ask them in a non-sarcastic manner! Will you?
4. You watch Football only for the hot footballers, don’t you?
Oh, yes, yes, yes!! They watch for the hot footballing skills! Footballers are definitely good-looking but they have other skills too!
5. Who manages your Fantasy team?
What makes them incapable of handling a fantasy team on their own? Any answers?
So, here are a few things the females are tired of hearing. Hope you can relate and men, don’t ask them such questions further!


- The ever popular and short-lived Popeyes Chicken Sandwich is coming back, and it may not be soon enough.
Everyone and their brother loved the Popeyes Chicken Sandwich. When it came out, people went wild for the item, filling the restaurant chain and lining up outside drive-thru’s with cars spilling over into the streets.
Everyone loved it, wanted it, and some would even kill for it, literally.
There was a man that was stabbed in Maryland over the popular sandwich. Prince George’s Police Department stated that the 28-year-old man, who has not been identified, was fatally stabbed at the restaurant in the city of Oxon Hill, outside of Washington D.C.
The fight began after someone cut in line according to spokeswoman Jennifer Donelan. “For you to get that angry over anything — for that type of anger to develop into this type of violence, again is a very sad and tragic day,” Donelan said.
The fight started inside the restaurant but later moved outside, according to Donelan. After the stabbing, the man was rushed to the hospital where he later died.
No suspect has been identified.
The sandwich began selling again after 2 months of being taken off the menu. It was first introduced in August and sold out in just two weeks due to its popularity.
The popularity was said to be prompted by a viral feud with another popular chicken chain, Chick-fil-A. this wasn’t the only angry situation that came from the shortage of the Popeyes Chicken Sandwich.
Workers at a franchise located in Texas were threatened over the summer when there wasn’t enough of the sandwiches to go around. And yet another filed a lawsuit against one of the franchise’s in Tennessee claiming, “deceptive business practices.”
“We do not yet know whether this was the result of a dispute over one of our products or something unrelated, but there is no reason for someone to lose their life on a Monday night in a parking lot,” Popeyes said in a statement. “Our thoughts are with the victim’s family and friends and we are fully cooperating with local authorities.”


Welcome to the world of breastfeeding!
The importance and benefits of breastfeeding, perhaps, need no further introduction nor affirmation.
So much so, it has been recommended by the World Health Organization that if possible, moms should breastfeed exclusively for the first six months of baby’s life. To achieve this, you'll need a breast pump.
What Is A Breast Pump
First off, what is a breast pump?
To put it simply, it is a mechanical device that is used to extract milk from the breasts of a lactating mother.
Different brands have different design, but they generally look like this:
Types of Breast Pumps
Generally, breast pumps can be divided into two categories: Manual vs. Electric and Single vs. Double.
As with everything else, both have their own pros and cons. See below a side-by-side comparison:
Manual vs. Electric
Powered by hand where you squeeze or pull a handle in repetitive fashion
Powered by electricity or battery through a motor which supplies suction through a plastic tubing to a flange that fits over the nipple
A good breast pump will massage and stimulate your breast (so that milk flow can be induced) before moving on to the expression phase. Heard of the revolutionary 2-Phase Technology?
Not only does this provide a more comfortable and pain-free experience, it also increases and helps maintain a sufficient supply of milk.
Nevertheless, there is actually one type of manual breast pump that we would not recommended, that is, the “bicycle horn” style.
These are very affordable, but they can actually damage your breast tissue when used long-term.
Also, due to their design, bacteria can easily harbour in the rubber suction bulb as it is difficult to clean this area thoroughly, so our advice is - stay away from these.
Single vs. Double
Likewise, there are also Single and Double breast pumps. The former has one pump only while the latter has two, as straightforward as that.
The ideology behind is equally simple - single breast pump lets you pump one breast at a time only while double ones allow you to pump both sides simultaneously. With the latter, some models allow you to do both even.
Which is why a double electric pump is a smarter investment if you’re planning to express regularly, or if you know you will be away from your baby for long stretches of time. Here are some of its pros and cons:
Nevertheless, a single manual or electric pump can be useful if you only need to pump occasionally, or when you want to breastfeed and pump at the same time.
Also, it could be particularly useful if you're on the sensitive side as taking turns to pump each breast let the other one take a break which in turn reduces discomfort level and subsequently increasing milk supply.
Why Do I Need A Breast Pump
You will not be with your baby at all times.
Even if you are a stay-at-home mother, there will be times when you have to leave your baby at home while you run for errands or attend to other matters.
Needless to say for working moms who spend at least 8 hours outside without baby by their side.
Breast pumps mean you do not have to sacrifice breastfeeding if you're in these situations. You get to still express and store your milk supply even when you are not with baby so that s/he can still have constant feed whenever needed, .
It also help keep your supply level ongoing and consistent because if you don't already know, irregular pumping will slowly wean you out. You'll find yourself run out of supply one day and be forced to quit your breastfeeding journey (unless that is the intention otherwise).
So really, breast pumps are one of the must-have items, in fact, equivalent to that of essentials like baby crib, stroller and diapers etc in the preparation of your bundle of joy's arrival.
How To Use A Breast Pump
Before anything, make sure that your breast pump and all parts that will come into direct contact with the expressed milk are clean and sterilized before use.
If this is the first time you're using your pump, make sure that you read the manual to familiarize yourself with the process.
There are actually some differences in terms of how you use a manual breast pump, compared to that of an electric one.
How to Use A Manual Breast Pump
- Wash your hands to ensure they are clean.
- Start hand expressing by gently massaging each breast in a pumping motion (squeeze and pull the breast out, then release and let it fall back into place).
- Once you’ve stimulated your breasts, center one nipple inside the flange of your pump and position it flat against your breast.
- Start to gently pump the pump handle with a rhythmical, smooth action that should imitate your baby’s sucking cycles.
- Keep in mind that you may need both hands to work the pump at first but once you get the hang of it, you will be used to one-handed pumping.
- Repeat steps 3 and 4 on the other breast. Move between breasts as many times as needed to help with milk flow.
- Finish by hand expressing
For electric ones, you may want to check if your pump is fully charged/have batteries, or you may want to find a quiet place with a power outlet.
How to Use An Electric Breast Pump
- Wash your hands to ensure they are clean.
- Assemble the breast shield, milk container, tubing, and breast pump.
- Position the breast shield over your breast. It should be fitted and not painful. The tunnel size should be 3 to 4 millimeters larger than your nipple. Center it and press gently to make a good seal.
- Think about your baby to stimulate the let-down reflex. Turn the pump on at a low intensity setting. You can increase the intensity slowly as long as it isn’t painful. Continue to adjust until milk flows.
- After each use, clean the breast shield and all parts that came into contact with the breast milk. Each breast pump will have different cleaning instructions as listed in the manual. Follow these carefully.
Now, electric breast pumps usually have a few in-built suction level. While a higher or faster speed may help you produce more milk at a more efficient pace, it may be uncomfortable or even painful if you don't ease yourself slowly into it.
You see, the international standard for suction power of a breast pump is up to 40KPa, go any higher and you may hurt your breast. So we suggest to always start with a lower intensity first before adjusting it higher to achieve maximum letdown supply, and a pain-free session.
Does It Hurt to Breastfeed?
Speaking of pain, there has always been this general myth surrounding breastfeeding - that it hurts. This, cannot be any more wrong.
Breast pumping should not hurt. The rule of “no pain, no gain” does not apply here. At most, you may find the suction uncomfortable but if you experience pain, it means something need to be adjusted.
More often than not, pain during pumping is caused by setting the pump suction too high.
You see, a common misconception most mothers have, especially first-timers, is analogizing pumping to straw-sucking – the higher the suction setting is, the more milk is pumped. This is not the case.
Instead, most milk comes only when there is a let-down (or milk release) without which most milk stays in the breast. Too-high a suction can actually slow down your milk flow.
So set your pump at the highest suction that you feel most comfortable with. A tip? If you are gritting your teeth, the suction is probably set too high!
Another common cause for pain is the incorrect size of flange.
24mm is usually what comes with most pumps as this is the size that fit most, however, it can be too small or too large for some as different women are shaped differently.
Find a better fitting flange and it should eliminate any pain, in addition to pumping more milk. Here's an indication of what's the best fit:
Remember, comfort should be a top priority for expressing moms so if you experience unbearable pain,stop using the device immediately. The breast pump that you have chosen may not be suitable for you and you should look for an alternative.
If pain still persists despite several tries on different models, see your lactation consultant immediately.
Benefits of Breastfeeding
Breastfeeding, however, is advantageous beyond its nutritional benefits.
It protects babies against infection, regulates and enhances the physiological systems of mother and baby, as well as facilitate intimate bonding between them.
For the latter, skin-to-skin contact and tactile stimulation of the nipple release oxytocin - a critical component of milk ejection reflex that in turn, increases blood flow to the mum’s chest and nipple area.
This raises the skin temperature and thus creates a warm and nurturing environment for baby.
You see, physical contact between mother and baby during the early postpartum period not only help prolong the lactation period but also help mom’s gastrointestinal tract adapt to the increased energy demands during lactation.
Other benefits include:
The first and most apparent benefit of breast milk is its superior nutritional value. Not only does it immensely support a baby's development and growth, nutrients like biochemical and cellular components are present as well to protect baby against infection.
In particular, studies have found that it has the following impact on newborn babies:
Beyond the newborn stage, breastfeeding is found to have benefits as such developmentally:

Stressing out about granule proteins
In the same way that a body contains functional organs, every cell contains functional organelles, each with a specific task. In the cell different organelles are generally separated from the surrounding cellular milieu by membranes or barriers.
RNP (ribonucleotide) granules are an exception: this class of cellular organelles – containing RNA and disordered proteins – that have recently gained much attention, as they are so-called “membraneless organelles” – in contrast to almost every organelle in our cells.
The molecular mechanisms that regulate their formation and stability are only now being elucidated. Moreover, certain mutations in proteins that make up RNP granules lead to known neuropathologies such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease.
The Parekh and Fawzi team will create a novel molecular analytical toolbox and experimental protocols to quantify the protein-protein interactions and structural changes in RNP granules using a multiscale spectroscopic approach: from the single amino acid to whole protein level.
The team will use a combination of in-cell vibrational and FRET imaging combined with in-cell NMR spectroscopy on granule proteins to examine the changes in protein structure and dynamics both in normal and disease-associated mutations.
“We are really excited to bring our different backgrounds to this very interesting and important problem. Our complementary tools will help clarify the molecular interactions that underlie and stabilize native stress granules and their disease mutants. It’s exciting that our project was selected in the highly competitive HFSP process,” said Parekh.
The Human Frontier Science Program Organization (HFSPO) awards some $30 million to support the top 3 percent of grant applications it receives. The 31 winning teams of 2018 were selected from a year-long selection process that started with more than 770 applications. More information on HFSP grants can be found at http://bit.ly/icCsdh.

While it might feel like a comfort to know you’ll be covered should you ever slip up and write a check your account can’t cash, the cost of that protection can far outweigh the benefits.
An overdraft of as little as one penny can trigger up to $35 in fees. Most people would agree it’s better to forgo that purchase than pay $35 more than is really necessary.
With that in mind, let’s take a look at how to avoid overdraft fees.
Table of Contents
Keep Extra Money in Your Checking Account
When calculating the balance of your account, deduct anywhere from $50 to $100 from your actual balance. This, in much the same way as people who tend to run late for things set their clocks 15 minutes ahead of time, will keep a cushion in place to help you avoid spending more than you have.
Another similar technique is to round your purchases up to the next dollar. An expenditure of $14.75 gets logged as $15 in your register. Do this consistently and you’ll always have extra money in your account.
Don’t Accept Overdraft Coverage
Banks have become rather slick in the way they get you signed up for costly services. Instead of waiting for you to say yes, they may sign you up automatically and task you with opting out.
In other words, they enroll you without your permission, then say the only way to avoid the charges that enrollment imposes is to inform them you don’t want the service. You know, the one you never asked for in the first place? It’s insidious and so far they’re getting away with it.
So “opt out” of overdraft protection.
Review Your Bank Statements Carefully
Losing track of your spending with plastic is easy, as many people have noted in Freedom Debt Relief reviews during the settlement process. Monitoring the ebbs and flows of your account via the monthly statement helps you keep an eye on little charges that may otherwise go unnoticed.
The bank may have added a checking account fee of which you were unaware — or forgot. Those extra $.35 “transaction costs” at gas stations and other places that impose debit card surcharges can add up as well.
It’s easy for those cents to aggregate into dollars without you realizing it.
Enroll in Automatic Alerts
Thanks to the wonders of digital banking, your accounts can be set to trigger alerts. You can be warned when they fall below certain balances, or when transactions above certain thresholds are completed. This helps you keep a running tally of your balance in your mind, which can prevent overdrafts from occurring.
Spending with a debit card makes it easy to lose track of how much money you actually have. These alerts can serve as “canaries in the coal mine” to let you know when your spending is about to trend into the negative.
You can also get alerts informing you of your account balances each morning.
Have Overdrafts Come from Another Account
Again, thanks to the magic of digital banking, you can have your account linked to another account from which funds can be withdrawn should the balance of the primary account be insufficient to support a purchase.
This coverage can also be tied to a personal line of credit. Yes, there will be fees associated with these overdrafts as well, but they are far more affordable. Further, your spending won’t go negative and give you the actual overdraft to repay in addition to the imposed fee.
Frankly though, the best way to avoid overdraft fees is pay attention. Doing so is far cheaper than paying fees will ever be.

Since Facebook failed to buy Snapchat several years ago, the social network has done pretty much everything it can to try to put a dent in its influence.
We've seen standalone app Messenger offering annotations, and Facebook-owned Instagram allowing users to post virtually identical Stories.
Now, another app giant owned by the company is looking to push Snapchat closer to the sidelines.
That's right, WhatsApp has introduced a range of new camera options that allow users to draw Snapchat-esque doodles, add emoji and write text to your photos and videos.
So, basically, the next time you have an argument with your significant other and want to really highlight which bits you're pissed about to the group chat, you can simply doodle on the screenshots before you share them.
While that particular update is already rolling out to Android users and will be with those on iOS soon, WhatsApp is also adding another feature to encourage selfies.
No longer will you have to be subject to dimly lit front-facing in-app photos, with the flash now enabled.
Both moves are clearly a push to try to get users to think about why they need Snapchat if the same features are being offered in an app they use just as much.
Even if it's not exactly the same - the biggest feature of Snapchat is obviously its temporary nature - the decision is still an interesting one for an app that rarely brings significant change.
Expect similar shifts in Facebook's apps in the future, until it eventually empties the bank to buy Snapchat.

Some people say that they don’t sense ghosts. But there are some who claim to know just by walking into a house that there are spirits lingering there. The family that moved into a house on the corner of School Street and Central Avenue knew almost immediately that they had some unseen presence in their new home.
The house was around one hundred years old when the couple moved in with their six children. It was moving day and the young wife was cleaning the house with her sister. The previous tenants had left some old furniture in several rooms. The front room had an old arm chair that had seen better days. The women moved the chair into a hall way so they could wash the floors. They moved on to another room to start the next cleaning project. Later when they returned to the front room, the chair was back in the original spot.
The women said they knew from that moment on that something was not quite right about the house. In an article written for the Register Star from 1987, the family claimed that though they were startled at times, they were never really scared by their spirit. It was rather unsettling though when they were home all alone and the stereo would turn on and off. They were also frustrated several times when something that they had just set down would be moved to a completely new location. One time the young wife had arrived home and set her keys on the counter. When she went to leave a little while later, the keys were no longer on the counter. She found them several hours later in the basement, a room she hadn’t gone into since she arrived home.
The young family claimed that they thought the ghost was a man who must have had children. He seemed to like to spend time in their youngest child’s room. They had a rocking chair in the room and sometimes it would begin to rock by itself. It made a distinctive sound as the runners moved back and forth on the carpeting. They would often hear their daughter talking to someone though no one happened to be in her room at the time.
The young couple did a little digging into the history of the house and found out that the haunting had started years earlier. They questioned several of the previous owners about their experiences in the home. It was soon clear that these strange encounters had gone on for decades.
Most of the stories were similar, footsteps coming down the stairs, things moved from place to place including heavy pieces of furniture. One family that had lived in the home during the early 1970’s had trouble with their attic light going on by itself. Apparently, the father thought his sons were trying to play tricks on him. He decided to end their fun by removing the light bulbs from the sockets. No one laughed when they came home late one night to see the light shining in the attic. The dad marched the boys right up those stairs all the way to the attic. They ran down quickly when they realized the light sockets were still empty.
One elderly lady that lived in the house in the late 1960’s claimed that she too was visited by the spirit. She would often hear the heavy footsteps walking on the second floor. They always seemed to stop by the front bedroom. One day she was alone in the house and heard the footsteps walking across the hallway to the front bedroom. She went up to find the room completely empty. She sat down on the bed for a while. She had decided that she imagined the whole thing and was just about to get up when she felt a presence sit down on the bed next to her. She said she saw the bed move like a large adult had sat down.
The older lady had questions of her after that incident. She found out from the neighbors that a family built the house in the 1890’s and generations of the same family lived in the house. The elderly woman always felt that the ghost was the head of one of those generations. She felt he looked after the families that stayed there.
The young couple that purchased the house in the 1980’s felt the same protective spirit. They soon got used to items moving around and sound of footsteps walking through the fourteen room house. The young wife even named him Henry. She decided to leave the armchair in the front room just where Henry liked it.
Research into the house on School Street proved that some of the history was true. The house was built around 1893 by Julia Ginders. Julia and her husband Joseph had arrived in Rockford around 1878. Joseph passed away and Julia built the large house on School Street for her daughters. Mary S. and Fannie lived in the house on School Street with their mother until her death in 1904. Mary would marry Harry B. Andrews in 1892 in the home on School Street. The newspaper articles describe a very fancy wedding for the young couple.
The couple stayed in the home after the wedding and eventually would raise their two children there. Harry would become a prominent lawyer in Rockford and open his own firm in the Brown Building downtown. Later his son Charles would join him in the firm. The Andrews family was well known on the West Side of Rockford and Harry donated a large parcel of land to build a park in his father’s name. Andrews Park still exists a few blocks up from the house on School Street.
Harry Andrews died in the house on School Street on August 5, 1941. Mary lived in the home until the time of her death in 1961. She left her children an estate worth $170,000 when she passed away. Harry and Mary’s children built successful lives of their own and moved out of the house on School Street. Mae never married and Charles became a lawyer like his father. Harry would be proud to know that Charles’ daughter also became a lawyer.
Though there would be no way to prove that the spirit felt in the house located on School Street is Harry Andrews, the home owners certainly felt that they knew who they shared their house with. Harry was proud of his family’s legacy to Rockford. He also was proud of being a protector for his family and maybe he still watches over those who live in the big house he once called home.

By now, everyone in Hawaii has undoubtedly heard that Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, who owns a lot of land on Kauai, filed eight “quiet title” lawsuits on Dec. 30, “seeking to force owners of 14 small properties to sell their stakes in their land at public auction,” according to this Jan. 19 Honolulu Star-Advertiser article.
“The 14 parcels are surrounded by roughly 700 acres on Kauai’s north shore that Zuckerberg bought two years ago for about $100 million,” the Star-Advertiser reported. “Under Hawaii law, the owners of these parcels have rights to access their property through Zuckerberg’s land.”
Of course, Zuckerberg insists that there’s nothing unseemly or even unusual about his lawsuits. Here’s an excerpt from a Facebook post he made on the lawsuits:
As with most transactions, the majority owners have the right to sell their land if they want, but we need to make sure smaller partial owners get paid for their fair share too.
In Hawaii, this is where it gets more complicated. As part of Hawaiian history, in the mid-1800s, small parcels were granted to families, which after generations might now be split among hundreds of descendants. There aren’t always clear records, and in many cases descendants who own 1/4% or 1% of a property don’t even know they are entitled to anything.
To find all these partial owners so we can pay them their fair share, we filed what is called a “quiet title” action. For most of these folks, they will now receive money for something they never even knew they had. No one will be forced off the land.
But in a new statement released today, Hawaii Rep. Kaniela Ing, D–South Maui, says he’s not buying any of that. And he says he’ll introduce a bill next week to change the law on quiet title suits.
“Zuckerberg is using the same legal loophole that sugar barons have historically exploited to scoop thousands of acres of Hawaiian lands,” Ing said. “Zuckerberg’s actions may be legal and slightly more transparent, but it doesn’t make them right. We need to look at this issue through the eyes of the families affected. Here we have the world’s sixth richest individual, with a team of the world’s best lawyers, suing you, then asking you to make a deal. Obviously, no matter how expensive, you will lawyer up too. So in the end, you have a mainland billionaire exploiting our legal system, and bullying his way through local residents, all to build his beach playground. This is not the intent of the law.”
Ing lays partial blame for all this on the State of Hawaii because its Kuleana Land title laws are so outdated and records are often hard to find.
“If Zuckerberg truly cared about Hawaiian culture, and these families, he would (1) let them hui together as a trust, rather than fighting them off one by one, then, (2) he would pay for and enter mediation to reach a fair deal without litigation,” Ing said in his statement. “My proposal is fair and will help address this and hundreds of other quiet title cases that are weighted too heavily for the plaintiff. It goes well beyond sympathy for Native Hawaiians, because it could happen to anyone. We must stop mainland billionaires from stacking money to tilt Hawaii’s legal system against local residents.”

I just returned home from another great seminar given by Isshinryu karate master, Sensei A.J. Advincula. Today he discussed and demonstrated body mechanics, which is one of my favorite topics. I find it fascinating how accurate positioning of the body, and proper tensing of the correct muscles can double or even triple a person’s strength. Since I’m a small person, I need all the strength I can get. Conversely, if your positioning is off by a little (even by a half inch) your strength is minimized.
At the seminar, we experimented with many different arm positions to determine how to get the most power from your punches and blocks. I’d like to share some video clips with you on Thursday’s blog (assuming I can figure out how to do that) to demonstrate what I’m talking about. Then you can try it at home and see for yourself what proper body alignment can do for your karate.
UPDATE: Here is the link to the video on body mechanics.
On a personal note, I’d like to wish my grandma Gert a very happy 95th birthday today! I love you grandma!! 🙂
