Court Success: Watch Where You Step
- An Employers Liability case where the claimant was employed by the Defendant as a Highways Engineer
- The claimant had alleged there was an actionable defect on the Highway which led to his fall
- The court also found the claimant had received adequate training and that signs highlighting the difference in areas was not required given the locus
In the recent Zurich case of Whyatt v London Borough of Croydon, the High Court provided a useful summary of first principles to consider when assessing tripping claims advanced under the Highways Act 1980. It also provides ever welcome guidance on how the courts will approach claims where an employee relies upon an alleged breach of Health & Safety Regulations as evidence of common law negligence.
The Claimant, Mr Whyatt, was employed by the Defendant, the London Borough of Croydon, as a Highways Engineer. On 11 June 2013, he went to survey a section of public road in a semi-rural area of Croydon. The road adjoins a private farm track, leading to a nearby farm. The survey was undertaken in the course of the Claimant's employment to see whether road repairs were necessary; seemingly in response to a complaint made by a local tenant.
At the junction between the public road and the farm track, there was a drop in the level of the roadway. The Claimant walked first down the section of public road. He then walked onto and down the farm track. Then he walked back up the track to the junction, turned, and took a step backwards. Not surprisingly, he tripped on the junction edge and fell to his injury.
The Claimant's primary case was the drop at the junction was a hazardous defect resulting from disrepair. This, it was said, gave rise to a breach of the Defendant's duty to maintain the road under section 41 of the Highways Act 1980. The Defendant accepted its maintenance obligations extended up to and included the junction. The questions for the court were therefore:
(a) whether there was an actionable defect; and
(b) whether it caused the Claimant's accident.
In the alternative, the Claimant maintained that the Defendant, his employer, had failed to undertake a 'suitable and sufficient assessment of the risks to his health and safety' in carrying out the survey, and so had breached Regulation 3 of the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999. This is turn amounted to prima facie evidence of negligence.
The court roundly rejected both aspects of the Claimant's case. In considering whether the junction was hazardous, the master relied upon the test set down in the leading case of Mills v Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council[1992] PIQR 291. To succeed in a claim under section 41, a claimant must prove that:
"a. That the highway was in such a condition that it was dangerous to traffic or pedestrians in the sense that, in the ordinary course of human affairs, danger may reasonably have been anticipated from its continued use by the public;
b. That dangerous condition was created by a failure to maintain or repair the highway; and
c. The injury or damage resulted from such a failure"
As well as denying that the junction was hazardous, the Defendant also relied upon a section 58 defence. Section 58 of the 1980 Act sets out a number of factors to which the court must have regard when considering whether a Highways Authority has discharged its duty of reasonable care. In doing so, Master Cook concluded that "…the drop was not a shear drop but was best described as a ramp." It was suitable for the rural location and low levels of foot traffic. Without suitable evidence to the contrary, the site ought not to be held to the more onerous standards expected of a busy urban throughfare. The court was fortified in its view by the fact that the Claimant did not record the junction as a defect after the accident. Regardless, the Claimant's survey of the site was clear evidence that the Defendant was discharging it maintenance obligations.
The court also held that the Defendant had complied with its duties as an employer. The Claimant was an experienced and well-trained senior engineer. He had worked in similar environments before. It would have been unrealistic to conclude that a specific risk assessment should have been undertaken for this inspection. Similarly, the court also rejected the suggestion that some form of signage might have prevented the fall. Having walked across the junction shortly before, the Claimant must have been aware of it.
Having found that no breach of duty had occurred, the court also concluded that the proximate cause of the accident was the Claimant's decision to step backwards without looking and not the junction itself. The third limb of the Mills test (i.e. causation) was therefore not satisfied. As ever, regardless of whether a breach of duty is established, if a claimant cannot prove that the breach caused the harm complained of then their claim will fail.
The High Court's decision in Whyatt does not change the law but nonetheless sets out a helpful summary of the hurdles a claimant must overcome to succeed with a tripping claim on a public road in England and Wales. (In Scotland, the equivalent duty to maintain arises under the Roads (Scotland) Act 1984. As such, Whyatt would not be binding upon the Scottish Courts, although it may have some persuasive value.) It also offers further guidance as to the approach a court may adopt when weighing the steps taken by an employer to risk assess work carried out by its employees outside work premises.
This claim was handled by Janine Ward in our Catastrophic PI Team. Janine is a Senior Claims Technician and is based in our Farnborough office.

Winter tire regulations for B.C. highways come back in force on Sunday.
tap here to see other videos from our team.
Remember, if you don't have winter tires on the Sea to Sky after Sunday, you could get dinged Back to video
In a media release, the provincial transportation ministry is reminding motorists that not having winter tires on designated highways — like Highway 99 north of Horseshoe Bay or Highway 5 east of Hope — could bring a fine of $121. Drivers of vehicles that don't have a minimum tread of 3.5 mm can be fined $109.
Winter tires are designated in B.C. by either a mountain snowflake symbol or a mud and snow (M+S) symbol on the tire sidewall.
"It is the responsibility of all drivers to ensure they have the correct winter tires on designated routes — this, along with other safe driving behaviours such as slowing down, putting your phone out of reach, and not drinking and driving, can make a big difference in getting everyone home safely," public safety minister and solicitor general Mike Farnworth said.
The winter tire requirement lasts until March 31.

Juggalos Do Infomercials
Every once in a while, something comes along that's so bad that it reminds me why I'm prochoice. The example for today: Juggalos. I actually envy people who live under a rock and don't know who these people are. You know the wiggers who hung out in the high school parking lot and tried to be "gangsta" despite the fact that they couldn't shake their redneck upbringings? They gave themselves horrible nicknames like Street Cat? Imagine if those people made families, and started emulating a group of rapping clowns. Yeah, I said it. RAPPING clowns. Nothing's more gangsta than face paint and being whiter than Bunny bread. Anyways, those people exist and call themselves Juggalos. They blindly follow a band of clown rappers called Insane Clown Posse. And yeah, it's even worse than you can imagine.
Every year, these people unglue themselves from watching Nascar on TV and eating lots of Doritos to put on their version of Woodstock. They've cleverly titled it "Gathering of the Juggalos" and are holding it this year in some bumfuck town in Illinois. If you'd really like'd to find out more, Vanilla Ice apparently needs more drug money and will walk you through it in this infomercial. Quick warning: if you're not stoned, the level of stupidity this thing emits might give you a headache.
Yes, you did just see that and yes, it is real. It's very real. You can get your tickets…..who am I kidding? If you want to get tickets for this thing after watching that, I recommend getting a vasectomy first.

Wow, that lineup is literally all of the shitty music that was popular in middle school. I guess some people never grow up.

| Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri: Allah's Apostle used to practice Itikaf (in the mosque) in the middle third of Ramadan and after passing the twenty nights he used to go back to his house on the 21st, and the people who were in Itikaf with him also used to go back to their houses. Once in Ramadan, in which he practiced Itikaf, he established the night prayers at the night in which he used to return home, and then he addressed the people and ordered them whatever Allah wished him to order and said, "I used to practice Itikaf for these ten days (i.e. the middle 113rd but now I intend to stay in Itikaf for the last ten days (of the month); so whoever was in Itikaf with me should stay at his place of seclusion. I have verily been shown (the date of) this Night (of Qadr) but I have forgotten it. So search for it in the odd nights of the last ten days (of this month). I also saw myself (in the dream) prostrating in mud and water." On the night of the 21st, the sky was covered with clouds and it rained, and the rain-water started leaking through the roof of the mosque at the praying place of the Prophet . I saw with my own eyes the Prophet at the completion of the morning prayer leaving with his face covered with mud and water.

Chevrolet introduced its first plug-in hybrid vehicle in 2007 with the Volt as a concept car. In 2011, the Volt became the first mass-produced electric car fitted with a backup gasoline engine sold by a major automaker. Fans eagerly anticipate the release of the second generation Volt in all 50 states come late 2016, with models already available in certain states.
Competition from other auto manufacturers such as Tesla and Toyota, popularity, and concerns for the environment encouraged Chevy to design a new, all-electric crossover to start production in the fall of 2016—currently named the Chevrolet Bolt.
With both models available to all Americans soon, what makes the Chevrolet Bolt different from the Volt, and what do they have in common?
Volt or Bolt: 4 Ways to Compare or Contrast Electric Cars
Electric Car Ranges
The Chevy Volt can go up to 40 miles without any emissions or gasoline using its rechargeable lithium ion battery. And after 40 miles, the engine kicks in and recharges the battery while still driving and lets the journey continue for another 300 miles.
The Chevy Bolt, however, will be designed to go more than 200 miles on electric power alone. It will only take 30 minutes to replenish 90 miles of range when using a DC-range fast charge source, 2 hours for a 240-watt AC power source to replenish a 50-mile range, and 9 hours total to recharge the entire battery.
Weight and Materials
Both the Volt and the Bolt's construction utilize materials lighter than regular vehicles. The use of aluminum, magnesium, carbon fiber, and high-strength steel keep weight down to increase efficiency and range. The Volt has a curb weight of 3,794 lbs., while the Bolt weighs in at 3,580 lbs.
Battery Chemistry
Despite both being electric vehicles, the battery chemistry differs in the Volt and Bolt. A more nickel-rich lithium-ion battery designed specifically for electric car use in the Bolt is different from the more mainstream battery needs found in the Volt. The Bolt's battery cells can run at higher temperatures, resulting in a cheaper and less cumbersome cooling system.
Both the Chevrolet Volt and Bolt have already set the standard for affordable electric vehicles. With both vehicles in the mid $30,000 range and tax credits of up to $7,500, Chevrolet will enjoy its status of offering attainable electric cars and could encourage more consumers to give an electric vehicle a serious look.
General Motors Willing to Help Other Automakers Rock Down Electric Avenue
General Motors could have chosen to keep its Voltec propulsion powertrain system under wraps, but they're willing to sell the system to other carmakers under the right circumstances. To meet the demands of the California ZEV rule, which states 15 percent of new vehicle sales in 2025 be zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs), more manufacturers will need to work together to offer a wider variety in the nation's electric vehicle inventory. By offering either full powertrains or just the drive unit, Chevrolet proves they're willing to help other companies maximize the inevitable rise of electric vehicles.
If you are interested in a 2016 Chevrolet Volt or have questions about electric vehicles, come by our dealership in Cary, North Carolina, to chat with us. We also carry a wide range certified pre-owned electric cars.

I confess that I used to be more friendly.
I was painfully shy as a child and my parents had a hard time getting me to talk to anyone. I hated unwanted attention (or any attention at all) and even cried when people would sing "Happy Birthday" to me every July. I was one of those kids who was kind to everyone, but didn't really have a BEST friend growing up. Something changed in my later highschool years and early college years. A friendly introvert, I had a lot of friends and even a few close ones. I still didn't like going up to people and starting a conversation; I just couldn't ever think of what to say! It was like every step toward the person sucked out one more possible conversation starter I could put to use.
In my last year of college, there were aspects of my character called into question by two of my "friends". Already embarrassed by my flaws, I didn't need anyone else to highlight them, but there they were. Things were said that could not be taken back, and I left those conversations feeling hurt. I didn't realize I had been marked so deeply by their words until months (and then years) had passed, when I was still feeling anxious and vulnerable. So vulnerable in fact, that I began to enjoy being more invisible than visible. New conversations induced more anxiety than calm. I worried about offending people when there was no cause for offense, and coming across the wrong way after commenting on something completely harmless. It had become so bad, that often the thought of talking to people made me want to crawl under the covers and hide. I'm not trying to be funny, these are serious thoughts that have gone through my head. I was convinced I was a terrible friend.
Recently I heard a pastor preach about "Just walking across the room". How simple is that? A thought that would have caused me anxiety recently, but something I can stomach now.
My mentor says that loneliness is a bigger epidemic than physical illness! Approaching someone in the loneliness of their day to encourage, offer a hand, a smile. I can do that.
I'm called to do that.
Looking back now, I feel silly for letting those words affect me the way they have. I lost one of my brightest character traits as someone who was friendly and kind! I forgot who I was for a while there.
I remembered recently that I CAN be a good friend. Recently, in a seminar full of people I'd never met before, I found myself walking across the room! I started conversations, I smiled, I even made people laugh, and got others involved in the conversation as well.
I praise God for allowing healing to come into my life so I could remember who I was and can, once again, offer true friendship to those who need it.
I've made my confession, now go make yours.

Homes For Our Troops
Homes For Our Troops (HFOT) is a privately funded 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization that builds and donates specially adapted custom homes nationwide for severely injured post–9/11 Veterans to enable them to rebuild their lives. Most of these Veterans have sustained injuries including multiple limb amputations, partial or full paralysis, and/or severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). These homes restore some of the freedom and independence our Veterans sacrificed while defending our country, and enable them to focus on their family, recovery, and rebuilding their lives.
Since its inception in 2004, nearly 90 cents of every dollar has gone directly to their program services for Veterans. HFOT builds these homes where the Veteran chooses to

Operation HVAC
On July 30, 2016, HARDI agreed to support Homes For Our Troops through its next 100 builds over the next three years. For each home, HARDI members will provide all heating and cooling equipment and supplies for each home at an estimated value upwards of $1 million.
While it is an honor to support our Veterans, there is also a very practical reason for this partnership: with HARDI distributor members' expertise in logistics and with the manufacturers' HVACR knowledge and resources, HARDI members are in a position to acquire high-efficiency equipment for these homes, which can lower a Veteran's utility costs and provide better indoor air quality.
HARDI will reach out to distributors in the areas where builds are scheduled. Any distributor that takes part will receive recognition on the HARDI website in thanks for their support of HFOT in its mission to build homes and rebuild lives.

Traffic Signal Replacement to Begin May 25
For the information of residents: A traffic signal replacement and intersection upgrade at the intersection of West Street and Main Street is schedule...
The City's Water and Sewer Division is responsible for high quality water and waste water services to residents and businesses. Working responsibly to protect a precious resource, we comply with the Water Resources Act and the Guidelines for Canadian Drinking Water Quality to supply safe, clean drinking water. As outlined in our Permits to Operate, city staff maintains the water distribution and collection systems to best practice standards. We place the highest value on public health, customer service, fiscal responsibility, workplace safety and security, asset management and regulatory compliance.
If you are planning to build a home in the city and you need water and sewer services, you should be aware of the Recoverable Work Rates. These are charges for connection to the city water and sewer system. For more information on recoverable work rates, or for commercial and industrial rates, please contact the Community Services Division.
The city's wastewater collection system is a vast network of underground sewers, force mains, and pumping stations that collect wastewater (sewer) from homes and businesses and transport it to the City's main or trunk sewers. The City of Corner Brook's wastewater collection system is composed of more than 90 kilometers of collection pipes, 9 pumping stations and more than 1,500 manholes. The system services approximately 8,500 units.
Maintenance of the wastewater collection system is carried out by the City's Water and Sewer Division. This division maintains all lift stations and manages the City's preventative maintenance program for all items related to the collection system. Wastewater discharged from a home or business enters the sewer system through service pipes that are typically 200 millimeters (about 8 inches) in diameter or smaller. These service lines carry the wastewater to the city's main or trunk lines consisting of pipes larger than 200 millimeters in diameter.
Pumping stations (or lift stations) are integral components of any collection system. Collection systems are built to maintain the natural flow of gravity whenever possible. Because of the city's topography, gravity flow is not always available to carry wastewater from the user to the outfall. When wastewater cannot travel through the lines by gravity, pumps are used to force the wastewater through the force mains until it can again be transported by gravity flow. The city has nine lift stations strategically located throughout the city as required by the topography of the area.
The City of Corner Brook's Water and Sewer Division has a very rigorous preventative maintenance program aimed at ensuring the wastewater collection system functions properly. Regular inspection and preventative maintenance is necessary to maximize system performance to prevent emergency repairs whenever possible. Despite efforts to maintain the system unforeseeable complications occur.
Some examples of incidents that cause problems in the system include:
To maintain the wastewater system and to keep it functioning properly, the Water and Sewer Division utilizes the following preventative maintenance procedures:
Sewer lines can be views by inserting a camera into the sewer line. Footage is viewed on a closed circuit television to view the condition of pipes, infiltration problems, blockage locations.
Sewer lines are often cleaned to remove debris or other material that enter the system. The city's Aquatech "SewerJet" is used to clean the main line with a high pressure water hose while the collected debris is vacuumed from a manhole with the high-powered vacuum hose.

GATA3 antibody | 1A12-1D9
The GATA3 protein is a member of the GATA family of transcription factors which has received its name from binding DNA sequences containing the GATA consensus motif 5'-[AT]GATA[AG]-3' (P15976). GATA3 has been shown to play a critical role in T cell development and the differentiation of T helper 2 (Th2) cells (Ho et al. 1991). In addition, GATA3 has been implied to have tissue specific functions such as a regulatory role in the development of the mammary gland epithelium and skin tissue (Chou et al. 2010).
Aberrant GATA3 levels have also been identified in a variety of cancers including breast cancer. Indeed, GATA3 has become a marker for certain breast cancer types and GATA3 antibodies are commonly used for the immunohistochemical evaluation of breast cancer samples (Krings et al. 2014).

'An alternative global ranking is my priority'
Jagannath Patil, president, Asia Pacific Quality Network, and president- elect, International Network for Quality Assurance Agencies in Higher Education (INQAAHE) talks about the importance of accreditation and how global agencies can help India. Excerpts from an interview.education Updated: Apr 06, 2015, 14:09 IST
Jagannath Patil, president , Asia Pacific Quality Network, and president- elect, International Network for Quality Assurance Agencies in Higher Education (INQAAHE) talks about the importance of accreditation and how global agencies can help India. Excerpts from an interview.
How important is accreditation for Indian higher education institutions?
Accreditation is globally accepted as strategic tool to ensure and improve quality of higher education institutions (HEIs). Indian higher education has witnessed rapid expansion in recent decades. However, quality of higher education is concern and hence NAAC is working towards instilling quality culture by way of assessment and accreditation. The country needs more accreditation bodies to cover all HEIs and international accreditation bodies can also be welcomed here.
Does INQAAHE help in accrediting and assessing distance, regular and vocational courses offered by Indian government and private institutions?
INQAAHE is global association of accreditation bodies. Many member organisations of INQAAHE are engaged in quality assurance of diverse range of HEIs and programme worldwide. NAAC, which has mandate of accreditation of HEIs in India, is a member organisation of INQAAHE. As of now, NAAC undertakes accreditation all kind of HEIs excluding distance education and agricultural education.
Tell us about the 2015 scholarships offered by INQAAHE to applicants from India.
These are scholarships open to all INQAAHE members (from developing countries) worldwide to provide token support for qualified applicants to enroll for a Graduate Certificate in Quality Assurance at The University of Melbourne. More details can be seen at
Does INQAAHE play a role in helping bodies such as the University Grants Commission of India, All India Council for Technical Education, National University for Educational Planning and Administration, NAAC etc in assessment and accreditation practices?
INQAAHE is a membership-based organisation comprising over 250 organisations from all over the world . It offers members many services, including a journal, a bulletin, a query service, a good practice database, and a professional qualification in quality assessment. There are also conferences and fora organised across the globe. INQAAHE guidelines for good practices serve as the global standard or benchmark for all accreditation bodies in the world. Indian higher education stakeholders also benefit from these.
What are INQAAHE's plans as far as Indian higher education is concerned?
INQAAHE does not have country specific plans as it serves all members around the globe. However, India can play a greater role in global quality assurance scenario. My becoming the first Asian as INQAAHE president in 25 years is a symbol of rising importance of India and developing world in global higher education scenario. One of my key priorities will be to provide an alternative to global ranking systems by establishing a global education portal so that students can get access to reliable information about higher education. India is the second biggest home of internationality mobile students. Hence, having clout on global platform like INQAAHE and UNESCO is crucial for interest of our millions of students aspiring to get world class higher education.

Laundry Bleaches – why do we use them ?
This is why. I haven't even worn this shirt and it has a stain already. This is what happens with light coloured clothes – stains just finds them. Unless I give it to the drycleaners I will have to deal with it myself – with bleach, ofcourse.
A laundry bleach converts soils and stains in your fabric into more soluble, colorless, or dispersible particles. This is then removed by detergent and washed away with water.
There are two types of bleaches – the liquid household bleach or chlorine bleach and oxygen bleach. Both works to remove stains and soils through oxidization.
Household chlorine bleach – liquid
This is the most commonly used bleach. There are many reasons why you may be using this bleach. I use it on my white clothes to remove stains and make them white again. Check out the posts on washing white clothes & how to deal with stains on white clothes
Some use it on diapers for obvious reasons – it disinfects the soiled clothes and removes stains and make it smell better. Bleach even removes the hated horrible mildew smell from clothes
The advantages of using chlorine bleach is equally weighed down by the disadvantages of it – the ecological impact of it on the environment, the adverse effects of its fumes on our health, the disintegration of fabric fibers to name them.
Oxygen Bleach
Oxygen bleach works the same way as the chlorine bleach. The difference being that it does not fade colours of the cloth or damage the fibers. In fact, it brightens clothes. You can safely use it on your favourite clothes again and again without much damage. It usually comes in a powder form
Then there is the most natural of all bleaches – Sunlight. For small stains and discolouration, It is the best method of bleaching for cotton and linen.
Some do's and don'ts for using bleach on your clothes
1.Do use chlorine bleach on natural fibers like cotton, linen and on synthetic and permanent press fabrics rayon, acetate, polyester and nylon
2.Do a pretest on the fabric to see if the fabric is suitable for bleaching – mix the bleach solution and place one drop in an inconspicuous place. Wait for 1 minute. If there is a problem you will know.
3.Do use rubber gloves on hands to protect your hands – bleach is damaging to your skin.
4.Do use mask on your nose when using bleach if you have allergies. Prolonged inhalation can cause damage.
5. Do check the laundry care label of the clothing before bleaching -if the following sign which says 'no bleach' is there on the care label – never bleach
6.Do follow the bleaching instructions on the packet of your bleach
7.Do mix the bleach to the water thoroughly and then add clothes – never undiluted bleach.
8.Do remove all traces of bleach from clothes. Rinse many times in clean water and wash as usual with detergent.
9.Do be careful that you do not get even a drop of the bleach solution on the clothes you are wearing. The bleach droplets can cause bleach spots on bright clothes, which look ghastly.Rinse the fabric which got bleach in a large quantity of water very thoroughly
10 Do remove any metallic buttons and such embellishments from the cloth before bleaching.
Do not's
11.Do not use bleach on coloured fabric especially if they are not colourfast.The bleach damages the colours of the coloured clothes irreparably, as it reacts chemically with most pigments and dyes used to color garments.
12.Do not use chlorine bleach on protein fibers like wool and silk and luxury woolen clothes like cashmere, on spandex or on leather, vinyl, pleather and plastic or fiberglass.Yellowing, weakening of fiber, stiffening etc are consequences.
13.Do not keep fabric in hot bleach solution for more than 5 minutes and in cold beach solution no more than 10 minutes.
14.Do not use bleach regularly and frequently on the same clothes ; it can damage the fibers, at worst causing disintegration and eventual holes. At the least white clothes will yellow with regular bleach use.
15.Do not (never) mix chlorine bleach with any other cleaning products.
16.Do not use metal containers to mix bleach or use it. Use plastic or glass.
17. Do not use bleach if the water has high iron traces.
How much chlorine bleach should you use
For spot cleaning
Instead of using bleach on the whole garment, you can spot clean the stain.You can mix equal parts of liquid chlorine bleach and water. Use an eye dropper to drop the mix on the stain. Rub if necessary with a tooth brush. Wash as usual.
For soaking
Mix 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of bleach in 1/4 cup (60 ml) of water. If this is not enough for soaking your garment increase proportionately. Soak as usual for some time. Wash as usual. Do not wash this clothing along with coloured fabrics
How to use oxygen bleach.
You can mix oxygen bleach in water or sprinkle the product directly on the stain and dip the fabric in hot water. The clothes may have to be soaked in this bleach for some time as per the instructions on the package, if the stain is tough. Do a pretest in case you suspect that the colour of the fabric may run.
Nowadays some detergents come premixed with oxygen bleach.
How to make your own bleach for clothes
You can make your own bleach solution at home. Take a solution of washing soda and boiling water.
Method 1 Mix chloride of lime with cold water. Let this mixture stand till it settles down.Now separate this clear liquid to another mug. Add it to the washing
soda solution.
Allow the precipitate to settle and then strain off the clean liquid.
Store in coloured bottles.
Method 2 Buy Hydrogen Peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide (3%) is mostly available at medicine stores as an antiseptic.
Take 1.5 tbsp hydrogen peroxide and mix with 1 cup of water. Add 2 drops of ammonia to this. Soak the garment in this solution. Hydrogen Peroxide as it is may damage fabric so use with caution and plenty of dilution.
Method 3 Sodium hypochlorite can be used when diluted in hot water as a bleaching solution.
Method 4 You can also dissolve 1/2 tbsp dishwash liquid soap in 4 cups of warm water. Add 2 drops of ammonia in this. Soak the garment in this for some time
You can use Ammonia as such in the wash along with detergent. It does not fade the color of clothes when diluted and removes stains to an extend. (Do not mix ammonia with chlorine bleach – never). But if you do not like strong smells stay away from Ammonia.
Method 5 You can also try using Vinegar in the wash for its bleaching properties. The problem is that Vinegar undiluted can be as dangerous for fabric fibers as bleach, so use diluted.
Method 6 Lemon juice does have some bleaching capacity. Of course not a replacement for bleach in its strength and effectiveness.
Method 7 Mix borax and caustic soda with hydrogen peroxide and warm water. To use, dilute this solution in lots of water. Add some ammonia for more effectiveness.
Method 8 Dissolve 4 tsp of washing soda in 500 ml of boiling water. Dip the fabric in this solution when hot for about 10 minutes. Rinse thoroughly.
These are good bleach alternatives, which though should be tested before use on the actual garment.
Neutralizing effects of bleach
Bleach can damage fabric fibers, most times beyond repair. Distressing fabric requires you to use undiluted bleach for its beautiful discolouring effects but it is killing for your poor cloth. You can try a bleach neutralizer to reduce the negative impact. Check out this post in sciencing.com on bleach neutralizers.

Alterations in Cortical Sensorimotor Connectivity following Complete Cervical Spinal Cord Injury: A Prospective Resting-State fMRI Study. PLoS One 2016;11(3):e0150351
Pubmed ID26954693
Pubmed Central IDPMC4783046
Scopus ID2-s2.0-84962600492 24 Citations
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies have demonstrated alterations during task-induced brain activation in spinal cord injury (SCI) patients. The interruption to structural integrity of the spinal cord and the resultant disrupted flow of bidirectional communication between the brain and the spinal cord might contribute to the observed dynamic reorganization (neural plasticity). However, the effect of SCI on brain resting-state connectivity patterns remains unclear. We undertook a prospective resting-state fMRI (rs-fMRI) study to explore changes to cortical activation patterns following SCI. With institutional review board approval, rs-fMRI data was obtained in eleven patients with complete cervical SCI (>2 years post injury) and nine age-matched controls. The data was processed using the Analysis of Functional Neuroimages software. Region of interest (ROI) based analysis was performed to study changes in the sensorimotor network using pre- and post-central gyri as seed regions. Two-sampled t-test was carried out to check for significant differences between the two groups. SCI patients showed decreased functional connectivity in motor and sensory cortical regions when compared to controls. The decrease was noted in ipsilateral, contralateral, and interhemispheric regions for left and right precentral ROIs. Additionally, the left postcentral ROI demonstrated increased connectivity with the thalamus bilaterally in SCI patients. Our results suggest that cortical activation patterns in the sensorimotor network undergo dynamic reorganization following SCI. The presence of these changes in chronic spinal cord injury patients is suggestive of the inherent neural plasticity within the central nervous system.

There is a constant hum in America today, as talking heads pontificate 24 hours a day on information that most of us don't really need to know. The idea of "too much information" has come home to roost in a nation fascinated with hearing their own voices. From Congressmen to preachers, too much talk is never good for anyone!
But, here we are, bombarded daily by the thoughts of individuals who never got to speak their minds before, and now can't stop talking, even as they embarrass themselves and the people around them. I thought that Aretha Franklin's family showed amazing sangfroid at her home-going celebration, as one performer and preacher after another, for nearly eight hours, talked and sang!
No funeral should last even half that long! Funerals are meant to comfort the living, while bringing them closure in the loss of a beloved family member. But Ms. Franklin's funeral seemed to be about the speakers getting their 15 minutes of fame and not about the mourning of the family! There was not even a balance between the comforting of the family and the career enrichment of some of the speakers.
The preacher who delivered the eulogy obviously forgot the meaning of the word. A eulogy is meant to praise the person who died, listing their attributes, accolades, and accomplishments, as well as speaking of the need for people attending the funeral to accept Christ as their Savior before their lives end, too. But, he took the opportunity to give a "state of black America" speech, particularly to disparage black single mothers as incapable of raising their sons to be good men.
I took offense at that statement, for I raised three boys to be great fathers and providers for their families, teaching them that the world did not owe them anything just because they had been born. I instructed my sons to work hard, dream big, and to remember the pain of not having a father and to not inflict that same suffering on their children, if they were blessed to be fathers. I know many black women, who like myself, did not choose single parenting, and their sons can be seen achieving greatness in every field of endeavor in America.
Ms. Franklin's family found the more than 50-minute eulogy "offensive" and "distasteful" to her as a black woman who raised four sons practically alone. His statements that "black lives do not matter and will not matter" nearly had me going through the television set! I agree that there are problems in black communities that need solving, paramount among them is quality schools and employment opportunities for young blacks, but a funeral is not the place to put forth a negative agenda.
What occurred was a whole lot of talking, but not much comforting. But that seems to be the environment today in which there are absolutely too many ways to get your opinion known, many of them allowing for anonymity. I assume that people think that by using sobriquets to hide their true identity that they are free to denigrate, belittle, deprecate, and humiliate people as much as they want. But, for me, if you cannot say what you want face-to-face, instead of in a cowardly way, then just stay silent.
Ecclesiastes 3:7 states, "There is a time to be silent and a time to speak." We have lost the ability to know when to do which of the two. And Proverbs 17:27-28 reminds us, "A truly wise person uses few words; a person with understanding is even-tempered. Even fools are thought wise when they keep silent; with their mouths shut, they seem intelligent." Too much talking has never been good, for it shows that there are some foolish people who think that they are wise, but who should probably keep silent to not prove otherwise.
As I noted in my post yesterday, we need a rest from all the talking, especially the unnecessary talking that must fill a 24-hour, seven-days-a -week news cycle. And we need to be teaching people to operate with balance, knowing when to shut up and when it is okay to speak your two cents.
Fandango prompt is Balance. Ragtag prompt is Sobriquet. Word of the Day Challenge is Pontificate. Word of the Day from MwsR is Sangfroid.

Long Hill Baptist Church offers free classes to build stronger marriages and families
Beginning on June 5, Long Hill Baptist Church, 100 Middlebrook Ave., Trumbull, will be offering a series of free Sunday morning classes that will help strengthen marriages and families. All classes will meet at the church at 10 a.m.
"We recognize that most families aren't as strong as they like to be," says Pastor Robert Hammond. "In fact, some families are typically operating in a near-crisis mode."
Pastor Hammond explains that these classes are intended to assist families that are dealing with relatively common challenges as well as those who are facing more complex struggles.
"Many families have worked hard to find answers to very real difficulties," explains Pastor Hammond. "But they're discovering that many of the answers that are being offered simply don't meet the need."
Pastor Hammond desires to help couples understand and apply Biblical principles for solving problems in marriages and families.
"Many couples have grown-up without any grounding in what God has to say about family relationships," explains Pastor Hammond. "Often, we get into trouble at home because we simply don't know what the Bible teaches."
The Sunday series will begin with a very practical overview of God's Biblical plan for marriage and the home, explains Pastor Hammond. Other classes will address disciplining children and teens, developing Godly children and building character in teens.
"And we will address the difficult issue of substance abuse in the home," explains Pastor Hammond.
Pastor Hammond also offers free Bible-based counseling to help couples and families overcome anger and hurt. All classes and counseling are provided at no cost, says Pastor Hammond.
For more information, visit the church web site at LHBaptist.com/families or contact Pastor Hammond at 203-268-5104. E-mail may be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com.

I didn't do it. I failed this month. By a whopping .75 books. I have to read 6.75 books each month and I was over 6.75 books in January - so I'm not actually off track, but I didn't make my goal of 6.75 for the month of February.
Maybe it was moving to a new apartment. Maybe it was working 50 hours a week. Maybe it was because February is two days shorter. Maybe I watched too much Jersey Shore and Teen Mom 2 and just didn't have time to read. That's probably it. Do you watch Teen Mom? Totally addicting. If that was a book I would read the sh*t out of it.
This is a picture of the bookcase. That second shelf is two rows deep. The Optimash Prime is not mine. I swear. . . .
Currently Reading: The second book in the Diana Gabaldon series - look forward to that review in a few days! It is spectacular so far.
"That's what I love about reading: one tiny thing will interest you in a book, and that tiny thing will lead you onto another book, and another bit there will lead you onto a third book. It's geometrically progressive - all with no end in sight, and for no other reason than sheer enjoyment." - Mary Ann Shaffer

Happy Fourth of July, friends! Why are kitchens and the backyard grill always the most popular places to hang out at parties? The sights, sounds, and smells of gathering over food nourish your social brain—and more studies affirm that a nourished social brain is the key to your Happy Brain! Your brain evolved as a social organ and is wired for connection and bonding with others as a strategy for survival. Personally, I find that nothing brings us a deeper sense of connection and comfort than communing and laughing over a joyous meal. It's why holidays like the 4th of July focus around food, friends, and fun times! Enjoy learning more about the Science of a Happy Brain.
Happiness Is Food, Friends & Fourth of July

People's organizations are those companies which offer a work environment where people feel good and safe. Xoxoday which keeps the safety and dignity of employees in high regard has taken a step ahead to implement POSH Act internally even though a single case of sexual violation is not reported till date in the company which still follows open office culture.
The Ministry of Women and Child Development has enacted 'Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act 2013 to create a work environment where women feel safe and strong. The boom in IT industry and diminishing gender gap have empowered more women to take up a job for financial and personal independence. But the sexual violence which was even reported at senior employee level cast a dark shadow over the ambitions and dignity of women.
Xoxoday has left no stones unturned to nurture a work culture to ensure utmost dignity and satisfaction of employees. As the company is growing with more numbers of female employees, increasing diversity, shift towards a less formal work environment and ubiquitous technology have prompted the HR to form a committee in the organization.
The POSH (Prevention of Sexual Harassment) Committee 's key responsibility would be to educate the Xoxoday team on Sexual Harassment at the workplace and give the training to stand strong against sexual violence.
The seven-member committee with Baby Kumari as President has Pallavi Prakash, Veena, Nasreen, Vidhya, Joshua, Mahendra, Anindo as members.
The committee has conducted its first presentation to introduce the mission and motive of POSH Committee to Team Xoxoday.
The key highlight of the presentation
A brief on the Hostile work environment
- Any work environment that is intimidating & humiliating which will affect health/safety of women/men
- The sexist remarks, display of pornography or sexist/obscene graffiti, physical contact/brushing against men/women create a hostile work environment
Quid Pro Quo Sexual Harassment:
- Implied/explicit promise of preferential treatment in job
- Threat of detrimental nature & threat to job
- Sexual favors or advances in exchange for benefits
- Any retaliatory action such as dismissal, demotion, difficult work conditions on a refusal to comply with a 'request'
How to act when you come across sexual violence
- A few If you are NOT OKAY with a certain behavior from someone put it across to that person, CLEARLY
- If the person persists of behaving in the same manner despite you informing them, then you can approach the committee
- It is equally important to understand and draw a line between over friendliness and sexual harassment
For any concern related to this, employees can feel free to write to email@example.com or meet the committee directly.

Editor's Note: Amy Skinner is a regular Cayuse columnist and has been a horse gal since age six. She presented with fellow trainer and rider, Katrin Silva, at the Best Horse Practices Summit.
Skinner rides and teaches dressage and Western. Skinner has studied at the Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art in Spain, with Buck Brannaman, Leslie Desmond, Brent Graef, and many others. Visit Amy's website here.
Buy her new book, To Catch A Horse here.
Amy Skinner writes:
It's one of the best lessons they teach – Horses show us how to have more peaceful relationships with others.
Contention often comes from a prideful frame of mind. We believe that we are right and that others are wrong. We believe our way of thinking holds superior moral ground. It involves a rigidity and inelasticity of thinking. It makes compromise hard and peace impossible. Especially when I was younger, I ran into contention with coworkers, friends, and loved ones.
That's not to say we should all be pushovers and stand for nothing.
With horses as with people, firm boundaries need to be clearly maintained. When crossed, some repercussions are necessary. A horse that moves through a boundary may experience some pressure. If the boundary was made clear, and if the horse proceeds, he moves into pressure.
Similarly, with interpersonal relationships, boundaries need to be made clear. If others cross them, it's important to evaluate what that means for the relationship. At any given moment, we are teaching others how to treat us. Allowing others to continually walk across boundaries teaches them to continue to violate boundaries.
You'll see that in both cases (horse and human), we can choose to respond without anger or strong emotion.
Some people have become contentious by nature. Fighting has become their habit. These people regularly argue with their spouse, family, friends, coworkers, and clients. They seem to seek out conflict and think of it as ordinary. The more I learn about getting along with horses, the more I realize how damaging this mindset can be.
Always looking for something to be upset about, whether we realize it or not, effects our work with horses. It conditions our minds to find the things we don't like rather than appreciate what our horses offer and directing them toward better behavior.
In our work with horses, it's essential to find common ground and make compromises. Ray Hunt put it simply: First you go with the horse. Then they go with you. Then you go together.
The more peaceful relationships I have with horses, the more peaceful relationships I have with people as well.
And what about the relationships with contentious people? You will find that you'll need to walk away from some relationships. You will need to reinforce some boundaries. Some difficult conversations may be necessary. Sometimes, we just disagree. Other times, it's best to simply say, "You're right, I'm sorry." Fighting really isn't necessary and life without it is much easier, happier and free.
I have horses to thank for that.

Blast Your Shoulders with These Moves
A lot of the strength needed for upper body resistance training comes from your shoulders! When you do push-ups, bench presses, pull-ups, and military presses, your shoulders act as secondary muscles to the primary muscles doing all the work. In order to more effectively train your upper body, you need to strengthen your shoulders! Here are a few moves to help you blast your shoulders and get them in shape:
Plate Circles
This is NOT an easy exercise to do, but it will be amazing for your shoulders! Grab a weight plate (as heavy as you can handle), and place your back against a wall. Hold the plate at your waist, and slowly trace a circle in the air (moving clockwise) as large as you can. Move the plate to the side, up over your head, to the other side, and back down to your waist. Repeat this clockwise circle for a total of 6 reps, and do another 6 with counterclockwise movement. Your deltoid muscles will stay engaged throughout the entire movement, setting your shoulders on FIRE!
Pike/Handstand Hold
Isometric exercises focus more on endurance than strength, but they can be highly effective for developing your shoulders as secondary muscles. The handstand is a difficult exercise to do, as all of your body weight is resting on your hands and shoulders. If you can't quite master the handstand, try the Pike Hold. Stand a large step away from the wall, place your hands on the floor, and walk your feet up the wall until they are roughly waist height (if you were standing straight). Hold this position for 30 seconds, rest, and repeat. Work until you can read the proper handstand position.
Lateral Raise with Rotation
Lateral raises are amazing for your lateral deltoids (the outer portion of your shoulder muscles), which must be trained in order to develop proper muscular balance. Grab dumbbells with your palms facing your legs, and extend your arms to raise the dumbbells to shoulder height. Now twist your palms until your thumb is facing upward, twist back to normal position, and lower. The rotation of your hands will strengthen your shoulder rotators and add a second or two of pause at the height of the exercise. It's guaranteed to be harder than your classic lateral raises!
Arnold Press
Thanks to the Governator, we have this amazing exercise for your shoulders! Instead of doing a dumbbell overhead press the normal way, turn your wrists at the bottom of the press so that your palms are facing your head. Twist as you press upward, so your palms face away at the top of the arc. Do two or three sets of this exercise, and you'll feel the burn in your shoulders!
Jab and Cross Punches
Ever wondered by boxers have such powerful shoulders? It's all thanks to those jabs and cross punches they do hundreds of times per training session! You don't have to be a boxer to benefit from this amazing exercise, but you can do it without boxing gloves or a punching bag. Simply get into the boxer's stance (non-dominant foot forward, hands up to protect your chin), and start throwing jabs (with your non-dominant hand) and crosses (with your dominant hand). You'll soon feel the burn in your shoulders!
Medicine Ball Jumping Jacks
Jumping Jacks are traditionally a cardio movement, but using the medicine ball will make it EXCELLENT for your shoulders! As you perform the "jump" (with your legs extending to the side), raise the medicine ball high over your head. The rapid movement will lead to some serious muscle contraction, shredding your shoulders like a boss!

The Construction Sector's recurring challenges are well documented.
You'll no doubt have come across some of them yourself:
- budget overruns and project delays
- low margins and many margins across a fragmented supply chain that drive up cost
- risk transfers to those who least understand them
- adversarial negotiating cultures that create a race to the bottom on price and a misunderstanding of value
- low-priced bids and high-cost claims that put trust on the line
- slow uptake of digital technology, low levels of innovation and productivity
- late payments, skill shortages, mental ill health concerns and more.
Tragic as Carillion's demise was, some suggest it was an inevitable consequence of the above. Perhaps there's more to come, perhaps it represents a turning point for the Industry's reputation.
In either case we need another way. Soon. And we can do it.
We just need to be as diligent in our understanding of how the mechanics of the mind work, as we are about constructing and managing physical assets. That way we'll solve the right problem and avoid going around in circles on those that have held us back for years.
Six discoveries from philosophy and neuroscience that make a big difference
Greek philosopher Aristotle said, "Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom." In other words by realising what causes us to experience life as we do, we learn to understand others, and open to possibilities that would otherwise be unavailable to us.
"Isn't that a risky, long, complex, drawn out, therapeutic, naval-gazing and non business-like process?" I hear you ask.
It was, until recently, before neuroscience came along. Nowadays, however, it needn't be.
Take a look at the six scientific findings below. Try them on for yourself and see if they fit. If they seem a bit odd at first that's fine. Equally if they make complete sense that's fine too.
Just sit with them awhile and explore the extent to which they explain why you and those around you feel and behave as you do.
Note: none of them are suggesting what experience you should have, they merely point to how experience works, be it good, bad or indifferent.
- You're alive and conscious of whatever you think.
The basics – you can't have an experience without any one of these three.
- You're not your thoughts nor in control of those that pop into your head.
We all have between 80 and 120 thousand thoughts a day; we're unaware of most of them as they whizz through us. We're only conscious of those we pay attention to. We do have some influence over the meaning we create from these (see Finding 5 below.)
Where our thoughts come from is anyone's guess. They just arise.
- Your mind works inside-out not outside-in.
It's not a camera that takes snapshots of what's happening around you for processing. It's more like a projector; casting meaning on what you see before you.
To illustrate, your experience of reading this blog and someone else's won't be identical, despite the fact you're both reading the same words.
Similarly with events, circumstances and people in your life, the thinking you project onto these causes your experience of them, not, as it so often seems, the other way around.
- There is only now.
The past is stored in memory as facts and a kind of in-the-background story. And it's over. Similarly, the future is still to happen. Both the past and future are only brought to life by the way you think about them in the present.
- Whatever you think, you feel.
Your thoughts and emotions are linked. When thoughts first come to you, they're neutral. Then, in a split second, you fuse meaning into those that get your attention.
Take rain as a simple example. You recognise it as water from the sky and think "Oh no I'll get wet," or "Thank goodness, we need it." In the former case you may feel mildly anxious, in the latter gratitude; your feeling comes from your thinking.
Sometimes this works the other way around: you can't pinpoint why you feel as you do, you just know something's not quite right. Knowing this emotion comes from your inside-out projection onto events, people and circumstances, gives you more influence. It helps prevent too much rumination and looking in the wrong direction, and makes insight possible.
- Insights happen when you're alert and relaxed.
In this state your mind produces new thinking and offers up a new perspective. People get insights in the early hours or whilst in the shower and out walking etc – anytime they're alert and relaxed.
Unlike fleeting ideas, insights have a compelling quality to them, they inspire action, they don't just come and go. You've had big and small ones before.
In business we typically don't get as many insights as we'd like. We emphasise analysis and figuring stuff out. Important though this is, it doesn't produce the breakthroughs we need, which is why problems persist. Insight, or "our own wisdom" as Aristotle would describe it, only arises when we're chilled out and our mind is free and open, rather than full and closed.
Realising how these six findings shape experience in practice, makes problem solving simpler for teams in two main ways:
Better conversations lead to the root cause problem sooner
The six findings suggest all business challenges are held in place by the thinking teams project onto them.
Consider late payment as an example. Teams resolve this in different ways. Where it's problematic – the need for working capital to fund overdrafts and more investment in credit control grows – teams will seek to limit the impact by focusing on how late, how much, which customers, reasons for retention, no. of chase-up calls made, size of overdraft needed etc.
Understandably this becomes their normal. It's ingrained into their routine way of doing business and a necessary thing to do. That doesn't mean they like it, or think it's fair though, they just put up with it.
If the team doesn't know the problem is a projection of their thinking (Finding 3 – inside-out) and they needn't be bound by the past (Finding 4 – there is only now,) they're unlikely to talk about it in terms other than their norm. They therefore have little option but to innocently keep on doing what they've always done with the likely consequence of getting the same or only marginally improved results.
But what might be uncovered if they did understand the six findings?
This becomes possible: directors see that they, like everyone else, are prone to tacit thinking habits that aren't always helpful in every situation. For example, they might cite mindsets such as "the customer is king" or "we'll win new work if we don't rock the boat" or "doing business together for many years counts" as their guiding lights.
Though useful in many situations, in the context of late payment these mindsets can leave the supplier believing they have less power than their customer and are subservient in the relationship. They help explain the team's feelings of unfairness and reluctant acceptance (Finding 5 – we feel our thinking.)
Conversations that surface underlying emotions like subservience, and the thinking that's holding it in place, reveal the most likely root cause.
New perspectives deliver breakthroughs
Root-cause conversations transform a team's perspective of the problem they need to solve.
In our late payment example the issue is now as much about rebuilding esteem, to counteract subservience, as it is about following a process to minimise overdraft requirements.
A new perspective fuels curiosity; people wonder about different possibilities. They see light at the end of the tunnel. Knowing how insights work (Finding 6) frees up the mental bandwidth they need for breakthroughs to emerge that were previously inconceivable.
To boot, root causes often explain problems other than the one at hand. Late payment might be the tip of the iceberg, subservience may affect bidding, pricing and productivity too.
The great theoretical physicist and philosopher, Einstein, warned of this trap, "You can't solve problems using the same thinking that created them." Understanding root causes and insights ignites your wisdom: it prevents you falling into it.
If you found this blog helpful, there are others on this site in a similar vein.
For example, the data on budget overruns and project delays suggest optimism and strategic misrepresentation are the root causes. Similarly, productivity is a wellbeing problem more than it's connected to efficiency and stereotyping clouds our ability to get equality, diversity and inclusion right.

-This post is sponsored by Lane Bryant. All opinions are my own-
Ever since I started the blog, I've been intentional about highlighting Breast Cancer Awareness. Whether it was highlighting women who are survivors of breast cancer, speaking about my own experiences with breast cancer in my family, or even supporting my aunt during breast cancer awareness walks, I want to make sure women really understand the importance of mammograms and early intervention. My paternal grandfather and several aunts have died from different cancer mutations so understanding my body and being kept abreast of breast cancer research is a priority in my life. This year, I had the honor of partnering with a brand that has been at the forefront of supporting breast cancer research: Lane Bryant.
Lane Bryant and its intimate apparel brand, Cacique Intimates, will support the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF) for the third year in a row, by generating donations to help fund lifesaving research. This year, Lane Bryant and Cacique's BCRF-dedicated theme is Research is the Reason, highlighting the importance of research in the fight against Breast Cancer. Lane Bryant, Cacique, and sister brand Catherines Plus Sizes will continue to support two research initiatives funded by BCRF: a project seeking to identify new therapeutic options for triple-negative and BRCA-driven breast cancers, as well as a project aimed to improve the quality of life of female breast cancer survivors.
One aspect of Lane Bryant's campaign that I haven't seen was introducing Mastectomy Bras! My aunt, who is a survivor of breast cancer was elated when I shared the good news. She expressed to me the hardship that many women face when shopping for bras after having a mastectomy.
Some facts on the design of Lane Bryant's Mastectomy Bra:
The design team at Cacique Intimates worked diligently with The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute to specially design the mastectomy bras the brand will offer:
- The mastectomy bras were designed with extreme care and medical research
- While concepting and designing the bra, the team at Cacique wanted to understand the challenges mastectomy patients face when trying to find a bra post-opp
- The team met with a surgeon, who explained that each breast reconstruction is different, and results can vary
- It was most important to ensure that they are provided with the utmost support after surgery (and beyond)
- The Cacique design team also met with a number of mastectomy patients
- Thrivers emphasized a desire and emotional need to feel pretty and feminine post-opp
- The mastectomy bras are beautifully designed with a feminine touch, within an industry that often tends to offer mastectomy bras that tend to look more clinical
- The design team felt the importance to offer something that did more than just function as mastectomy bra o
- The NEW mastectomy bras will be available on Cacique.com, and will be offered in sizes 36DD-DDD, 38-44 C-F, 46-50 C-DDD
Selections from Lane Bryant's BCRF limited collection
I've never felt such a personal connection to any fashion brand as I do to Lane Bryant right now. Being inclusive to the plus-size community and survivor's community is very near and dear to me! Thank you for all that you do LB! With that said, me and my mom decided to share some of the looks that we got from the team over at Lane Bryant. My mom is so proud that I continue to use my platform about matters that are important to me. In between each shot, I will share some Breast Cancer Awareness facts that you or may not have known.
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women worldwide. One in 8 women in the U.S. will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. Every two minutes a woman in the U.S. is diagnosed with breast cancer.
Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death among women. In the U.S. in 2019, there will be an estimated 271,270 new cases of invasive breast cancer diagnosed in women and 2,670 cases diagnosed in men. An estimated 42,260 breast cancer deaths will occur.
But there is hope! There are more than 3.5 million survivors in the U.S. today. Women with early-stage breast cancer have a 99% chance of 5-year survival, $50 donated pays for one hour of research. 50% of BCRF researchers are women!
Lane Bryant and Cacique will offer multiple opportunities for clients to contribute to BCRF:
Donate While You Shop: Through Sunday, November 3, 2019, clients can make a personal donation to BCRF by "rounding up" their purchase at the register in-store (to the nearest dollar or add $2, $5 or $10).
BCRF-Dedicated Collection: Lane Bryant will offer exclusive BCRF-inspired LIVI activewear and Cacique Intimates, as well as jewelry and accessories, where 10% of the purchase price will be contributed to BCRF. The collection includes an assortment of LIVI tops, active leggings, sports bras, mix and match Cacique bra and panties and more.

I walked out of synagogue with my five-year-old yesterday afternoon to find a local (Passaic, NJ) police officer stationed out front. It was then that I learned about the awful tragedy that took the lives of 11 Jewish men in Pittsburgh earlier in the day.
The irony, that I had just freely worshipped on the holiest day of the Jewish week with my youngest child, hit me like a ton of bricks.
The victims had gone to services yesterday with the same aspirations as me.
They came to unite, with three congregations serving God under one roof.
They were celebrating the gift of life, with the naming of a new baby.
They were affirming our sense of purpose, which is what a name ultimately represents. Not to mention our purpose as God's creatures and servants.
And, in the same vein, I had attended afternoon services for similar reasons: to unite with others in God's service and teach the next generation the importance of our identity and beliefs.
Same behavior. Completely different results.
What can we do this week, other than share words of comfort and support, to make a positive impact on what is truly a horrible, gut-wrenching situation? I humbly suggest the following:
- Stay strong – The victims were targeted because of their Jewish faith. We must stand spiritually strong and not allow others to dictate who we can be and worship. And to all of our American brothers and sisters of different faiths that have rallied behind our community, thank you.
- Unify – Remember the importance and power of community. Sometimes, our differences get the better of us. Learn to disagree without being disagreeable. And remember that, at the end of the say, we're all brothers and created in God's image.
- Give life – Do something that says that you care about those around you, such as charity, acts of kindness, and even a simple greeting.

Updating Your Bedroom Space
There is a lot to be said when you start looking at anything and everything that may be related to your bedroom and its needs. If you have specific needs and ideas related to your bedroom, then it's likely that you're looking at a lot of different options that you can use in order to stay ahead of problems. How do you know that what you're doing is going to work? Do you have options for a shabby chic bedroom set or something similar that may look great?
Working out bedroom decor with professionals is a good place to start. Not only are you going to be able to talk with them about what you need to accomplish, but you can work out what needs to happen and how you want things to look. The fact of the matter is, you want to be looking at a lot of different details and you want to know exactly what you want from your bedroom and then, after you make a choice about that, you can work out exactly what may be necessary as you make sense of everything else as well.
Look at what you're going to be able to do and talk to people about how you're going to want to spend time and money on everything. Not only can you discover just what is going to make the most sense here, but you can learn a lot and know that you have a few different ways to proceed with what you want to get done. You deserve to have the bedroom setup and layout that you need and, as you work out just what matters most, you'll find that there are a lot of great ways to know that everything is done the right way.
