The world’s oldest enclosed commercial wet dock in Liverpool, North-west England is celebrating its 300th anniversary. Known locally as the ‘old dock’, it opened for business on 31 August 1715, providing a blueprint for the development of other trading ports.
For the first time in history, the design of the dock allowed ships to load and unload whatever the state of the tide. It helped Liverpool to become one of the globe’s most important ports, with ships being able to turn around in under two days, rather than the two weeks needed previously. Thanks to the ‘old dock’, by the end of the 19th century 9% of the world’s trade went through Liverpool.
Able to accommodate up to 100 ships at a time within its 3.5 acres, the dock took five years to construct at a cost of £12,000 ($19,000) at a time when the average labourer would have earned £20 per year ($30). The undertaking was a high risk commission for Liverpool as it would have led to bankruptcy for the city if unsuccessful.
Mark Whitworth, chief executive of Peel Ports, said: “Liverpool is undoubtedly one of the leading ports of modern maritime history and we’re excited to be celebrating this important milestone in the city’s contribution to shipping. The anniversary comes at a significant time as we progress with the construction of our new container terminal Liverpool2, which will help
create a new chapter in our story by establishing a new
international gateway between the UK and international
Peel Ports, operators of the Port of Liverpool, is
celebrating the anniversary by calling on local residents to
share their images and memories of the city’s rich maritime
history, with the contributions and images from the
company’s own archives being turned into a book and online
The dock was filled in in 1826, having been superseded by
larger and deeper ports built into the river Mersey, on which
Liverpool sits. It was rediscovered during excavations in 2001
and the remains of the dock have been preserved as part of
Mersey Maritime Museum.

text: My 9 year old son starting having vision problems almost 2 years ago. At first we brought him to a regular eye doctor. She felt like there was a black spot on his eye so she sent us to a pediatric opthomologist. He dismissed her findings and gave a new prescription for eye glasses. My son was having difficulty with the glasses and couldn't be seen by this opthomologist for another 2 months so I sought the opinion of another doctor. He felt there was a problem with my son's retina. At this time my son's VA was 20/60 (Dec 2011). He sent us to a retinal specialist who felt my son had stationary night blindness. The specialist didn't want to see us again for 6 months. Having not had any of our questions answered I once again sought the answers from another specialist at Children's Hospital in New Orleans. He had my son take a VEP and ERG tests. It was to be believed there was trouble with the ganglion cell layer with the right eye being slightly worse. At this time (Sept 2012) his VA was OD 20/200 OS 20/300. He sent us back to the retinal specialist to see how he felt his vision was after the 6 mos. He felt like there was no change, although his VA is 20/400. My son has to get within 6-12 inches from a paper he is reading at large print or from the TV to see it. There is a definite problem! I He referred us to Texas Children's. The specialist there said the vitrious of the eye was cloudy and wanted to have genetics testing to see if they could find a diagnosis that way. Insurance has denied the claim for testing and we still have no diagnosis! I would gladly pay the $7000 if we would get a diagnosis, but I can't see doing this on a maybe. I called him back once we got the denial but he won't do anything further with out the tests. My family desperately needs to know what is going on and if there is ANY chance that his vision can be corrected. Do you have any suggestions where we can go from here?

The fifth-generation (5G) network is vital for the success of Malaysian ports operations as it enables port operators to track ships and to make accurate predictions about arrival times, reducing the disruptions from potential delays.
“5G can enable many improvements within Malaysia’s ports. On a 4G network, a terminal can monitor about 100,000 sensors and Internet of Things (IoTs), devices within a square kilometer. A 5G network raises the potential number of connections to one million,” Juwai IQI Group co-founder and chief executive officer Kashif Ansari said in a statement.

Welcome to Swipe File Friday.
Chef Thomas Keller has said that, “Food should be fun.” And why not?
(And yet I’m frequently chastening my children for playing with their dinner.)
Just yesterday my wife and I enjoyed a wonderful lunch at a Persian restaurant in St. Louis. We sat outdoors in the warmth of the sun in wrought-iron chairs at a wrought-iron patio table. Grape vines with full, green leaves grew along the fence that separated the cafe dining area from the surrounding sidewalk and clay pots with mint and basil plants stood at the entrance.
Suzanne ordered jerk-seasoned tilapia that arrived with basmati rice and a fresh, green salad. I had a saffron-marinated chicken kabob pita filled with crisp lettuce, onions, cucumbers, and a delightfully rich sauce. The flavors and textures were wonderful and, yes, fun.
So if the meal itself is inspired, why shouldn’t the experience of the menu be inspired as well? And if the menu looks great, perhaps that could be a source of presentation design inspiration as well?
Art of the Menu
You saw where this was going, right?
Art of the Menu is a site that features interesting designs from restaurant menus around the world.
These are not just your standard four-page, flip-it-over supper club menus.
No, there’s some amazing creativity at work in these designs. The colors, fonts, layouts, formats, and writing are all worthy of a look.
But there’s also incredible variety in the featured menus. For example, the menu from Fat Cow in Singapore is characterized by its clean, upscale and elegant feel while Jack’s Wife Freda in New York is highlighted with simple line drawings that convey the sense of a hip yet homey café.
While you’re waiting for your next meal out, consider
stealing borrowing an idea from the menu. Or browse through the menus at Art of the Menu and swipe away.

Last night I had a dream about seeing my Vintage Halloween designs on various products in a retail store (that magically flipped between a store and a booth at a trade show) and I kept seeing the characters arranged on a sweatshirt I had back in the 80's - a poufy, padded, reversible one I had picked up at the Disney Store back when they were still shiny and new and in every mall in America. It featured Mickey Mouse in squares with different colored backgrounds and I had to get that translated into Halloween so I fired up the laptop at 5:30 this morning and got the ball rolling.
Those of you who love to Halloween all year long are going to love the result - a block quilt pattern now available on furniture, home accessories, and more on Society6! I've featured a few things below. You can check out the entire collection HERE

Officer Jeronimo Yanez of the St. Anthony Police Department was acquitted of all charges for the killing of Philando Castile today.
The jurors, 2 Black and the rest White, voted Yanez not guilty for second-degree manslaughter and two counts of intentional discharge of firearm that endangers safety.
Yanez shot Castile in the viral video uploaded by Castile’s girlfriend Lavish Reynolds. Reynolds streamed Castile’s death on Facebook Live. She explained that Castile was just reaching for his wallet when Yanez fired, but Yanez insisted then and in court that Castile was reaching for his firearm (he was licensed to carry).
His death caused national outrage, but like usual, the officer who’s caught on tape killing the Black man will face no punishment.

DAZN Flops As Davis Vs. Garcia Coverage Marred By Problems – ‘Charged 6 Times’
DAZN had a night to forget with reports that numerous customers experienced problems when streaming the Gervonta Davis and Ryan Garcia fight.
According to reports, customers were charged multiple times, up to 9 times, for the fight. There had been high hopes for the platform, which was offering the fight at $60 in comparison to Showtime’s $84.99.
#DAZNREFUND needs to happen. Plenty of people I know also ran into the same issue of not being able to see #DavisGarcia while also being charged 6 times. This is a huge problem especially right before #CaneloRyder . They may be forced to take it off PPV and make it regular DAZN
— Abraham Gonzalez (@abeG718) April 25, 2023
Despite that being the case, DAZN’s customers experienced numerous problems, even after the platform had confirmed that any teething issues were resolved.
Not only that but the platform has been heavily criticized for its inconsistent model.
The network vowed to end pay-per-view, declaring it ‘dead,’ only to then backtrack by offering pay-per-views for certain events.
And to top it all off, DAZN has seen an increase in price for its monthly and annual subscriptions, only adding to the growing dissatisfaction with the streaming platform.
But if DAZN has serious aspirations of being a ‘mecca of boxing,’ then surely changes will come.


Garcia and his management team recently announced the matchup, though UFC officials haven’t made a formal announcement.
UFC 176 takes place Aug. 2 at Staples Center in Los Angeles. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FOX Sports 1 and UFC Fight Pass. In the main event, featherweight champion Jose Aldo rematches Chad Mendes.
Garcia vs. Dwyer will likely be part of the prelims.
Garcia looks for his third straight UFC win and his seventh consecutive victory overall. The 26-year-old Dominican fighter, who trains out of Tristar Gym in Montreal, knocked out Ben Wall in his promotional debut, and in March, he scored a split-decision victory over Sean Spencer. He has 10 stoppages in 12 career wins.
He now takes on Dwyer, a promotional newcomer. The 24-year-old Canadian has recently competed in his home country for the Battlefield Fight League promotion, where he’s scored five consecutive knockout victories. Most recently, he’s posted wins over big-show vets Shonie Carter and DaMarques Johnson.

What is the status of Sacramento Coalition to End the War’s nine-to-five sit-in at Rep. Doris Matsui’s office?
Tomorrow marks the 30th day that we’ve been there in a row … and there are no plans to end this. It’s only growing larger as we get near the time, in three weeks or so, when Congress has to vote on whether or not they are going to OK additional funding for the war in Iraq. We definitely have plans to remain there until Doris Matsui decides to commit to voting against any additional funding for the war.
What are the chances of success?
We’re kind of at a stalemate now. … I went into a meeting late Friday afternoon with her district director and we had the same discussion it seems like we’ve been having since forever. He’s convinced that the strategy that the Democrats are using now has a better chance of success. We completely disagree. As we’ve said in one news release after another, Congress controls the purse strings. It’s relatively simple [and] the quickest, most orderly way to end the war and protect the troops.
I read a report that both the protesters and Rep. Matsui’s staff shared homemade cookies with each other.
Those reports make cute leads and stories, but it is not as friendly as everyone portrays it to be. It is also not a ’60s type sit-in where everyone chants and yells. This is more of a vigil. When I was there Friday afternoon, we had on average seven people in the office but there were only seats for four. It’s kind a civil game that they are playing. There’s no doubt that we irritate them, however, when asked by the media how things are going they portray it as a cordial thing. But this is a protest against Matsui’s refusal to do the right thing with regard to Iraq. … If they arrested us that would not be the story they would want to have.
How has your life experience informed what you do today?
I was drafted in 1969 and spent one year in Vietnam as a military information specialist. My job was to write stories on the positive things of the war. I really didn’t realize at first that I was being used. I soon came to realize that we didn’t belong in Vietnam and that there was no way to win that war. It appeared to be a civil war. Only toward the end of my tour did I realize that it was my job to cover up things that we didn’t want the public to know. … People say that Iraq and Vietnam aren’t the same … but it is very close to what happened to us before. It certainly is d

The Indiana UAW has run into a bit of bad PR. Seems they wanted to help their members vote in the upcoming Democrat primary, so they took the liberty of filling out a portion of their members’ application requesting an absentee ballot for them because, you know, those things can be complicated to fill out.
“…the part of the application that designated what party ballot was being requested in the May 6 primary election, the type of ballot and the reason for requesting an absentee ballot were filled out in advance.”
That didn’t fly and, thankfully, all were rejected.
Last time we checked the UAW wasn’t able to read minds or see the future, or else they would see their undying loyalty to Democrats is what’s killing their industry, but that doesn’t stop them from trying. They assumed all 500 of their members were Democrats…interesting.
You have to wonder if those 500 people had even planned on voting in the primary, or if their union was just going to take care of that for them, too.

Based on a Service Level Agreement model, Ponant has service levels defined by Committed Information Rate (CIR) and Maximum Information Rate.
Marlink, a smart network and digital solutions company, has joined forces with the LEO internet operator, Eutelsat OneWeb, a division of Eutelsat Group, to provide advanced digital connectivity solutions to Ponant, the global leader in exploration cruises, within its smart hybrid network.
Ponant has chosen to implement the Eutelsat OneWeb service on its polar exploration vessel, Le Commandant Charcot. This deployment will offer passengers and crew high-throughput, low-latency internet access throughout the ship’s journeys.

The company continues to advance the expansion of its ground station infrastructure to facilitate global maritime services. Eutelsat OneWeb currently offers connectivity services to the maritime sector through specialised maritime distribution partners like Marlink.
Commenting on the deal, Carole Plessy, VP of Europe and Maritime, Eutelsat OneWeb, said: “This is a new generation of broadband services for maritime, powered by LEO satellites to create a truly global connectivity platform to bring fibre to the high seas. Eutelsat OneWeb and Marlink service will support Ponant in its ongoing digitalisation, both on and offshore and Ponants guests with a high-quality internet experience to match its refined experience. Marlink is a highly respected industry leader and we are delighted to be continuing in our partnership.”
Tore Morten Olsen, President, Maritime, Marlink, added: “Marlink is delighted to apply its expertise in integrating the latest new technologies with the addition to Eutelsat OneWebs LEO solution to the smart hybrid network available to guests and crew onboard Le Commandant Charcot. The Eutelsat OneWebs LEO constellation provides a new level of user experience onboard ship, unlocking new applications as well as supporting safer, more efficient sailing.”

Eighteen doctors from across the country have said the situation in Jammu and Kashmir, which has been under unprecedented security lockdown since August 5, is hampering people’s access to healthcare. The doctors said this in a letter published in medical journal The BMJ on August 16.
The doctors said the picture emerging from various news reports from Srinagar was grim. “People are unable to call an ambulance to take a sick person to hospital – they need to be taken [in] a private vehicle if they have access to one,” said the signatories to the letter. “These vehicles are stopped every few metres by security forces standing at concertina wire barricades to check identity and ask questions.” The doctors pointed out that several patients were admitted to hospitals with pellet-gun injuries, some of them serious.
They claimed there was “a blatant denial of the right to healthcare and the right to life” in the state, and urged the government to ease communication and travel restrictions at the earliest “and undertake any other measures that are required to allow patients to access healthcare without hindrance”.
On Monday, the Indian Medical Association wrote to British medical journal The Lancet, criticising its editorial on the government’s recent decisions on Jammu and Kashmir. The association said it was unfortunate that the journal had “committed breach of propriety by commenting on a political issue”.
On Saturday, the medical journal, in an article titled, “Fear and uncertainty around Kashmir’s future”, described the revocation of Jammu and Kashmir’s special status as a “controversial move”. “The militant presence raises serious concerns for the health, safety, and freedoms of the Kashmiri people,” the article read.

- Indian Medical Association condemns The Lancet for editorial on J&K, calls it ‘breach of propriety’

Here is the full text of the letter published by The BMJ:
We wish to bring to your attention the current situation in Jammu and Kashmir which is leading to a violation of the right to life and to health care. The Government of India on the 5th of August, abrogated Article 370 and Article 35A of the Constitution of India through the provisions of which the state acceded to India and which give the state certain special provisions.
Anticipating widespread protests, the Government of India, from the night of 4th August 2019, put the state under lockdown and arrested nearly 500 political leaders and activists in the state, including two former Chief Ministers. All means of communication – landline telephones, mobiles, internet and cable television - have all been shut down and remain so at the time of writing.
The lockdown and snapping of all modes of communication has made it very difficult for people in the Kashmir valley to access health care. From various news reports that are available from Srinagar the capital city, the picture that emerges is grim. People are unable to call an ambulance to take a sick person to hospital – they need to be taken a private vehicle if they have access to one. These vehicles are stopped every few metres by security forces standing at concertina wire barricades to check identity and ask questions. Several patients have been admitted with pellet gun injuries, and some have been seriously injured. Only those who can make it to a hospital can get some care. Though hospitals are generally stocked with supplies, staff have found it difficult to reach the hospital. Hospitals that are usually overcrowded are largely empty now. Some doctors worry about their patients on dialysis as only a few patients requiring dialysis from Srinagar have been able to come for treatment, while those living outside have not been able to reach the hospital. Certain medications are out of stock in the local stores and there is at least one report of a person having to fly to New Delhi to purchase medicines for a sick relative. There are reports of other patients who have not been able to reach the hospital in time for their scheduled cycle of chemotherapy. The situation has also led to a lot of mental stress among a population already living with high levels of psychosocial stress. Some women due to deliver were moved closer to a hospital when the troop buildup began as they anticipated some trouble. There are likely to be many more women who are not able to get to a hospital for their delivery, or have got there very late.
In the current situation there is a blatant denial of the right to health care and the right to life. We call upon the Indian Government to ease restrictions on communication and travel at the earliest, and undertake any other measures that are required to allow patients to access health care without hindrance.

Although many mobility conditions progressively worsen over time, sometimes canine paralysis can occur suddenly. Where it seems like overnight, a previously healthy dog wakes up and is completely unable to walk. There was a time not so long ago when a diagnosis of paralysis would automatically mean euthanizing your dog. Thankfully, the opinions are changing, and it is much more common to see paralyzed dogs living their best lives, running and playing in wheelchairs!
Sudden paralysis and mobility loss can be terrifying for a pet parent and you may not know what to do, here’s what to look out for:
Symptoms of Canine Paralysis
A dog is considered paralyzed when they are unable to move one or more of their limbs. Hind leg paralysis is the most common form of sudden paralysis in dogs. The signs and symptoms of paralysis in dogs can occur quickly, here are a few of the most common indicators:
- Inability to flex leg joint
- Inability to bear weight on leg
- Abnormal Gait
- Dragging limb or limbs
- Unable to wag or move tail
- Drooping eyelids and dropping food from the mouth
In addition to the mobility loss in its leg, a paralyzed dog can also lose control of its bladder and bowels. Normally, a dog’s spine, brain, nerves, and muscles work together, in a paralyzed dog there has been a disruption somewhere in the dog’s nerves. How your dog is impacted depends on where the disruption occurred.
Common Causes of Paralysis
There are many ways a dog can become paralyzed. Many dog breeds have a genetic predisposition to illnesses that cause paralysis, such as Intervertebral Disk Disease (IVDD) or Degenerative Myopathy (DM), traumatic injuries such as falls or abuse can cause the loss of mobility, as well as old age illnesses such as arthritis.
Paralysis doesn’t only occur in older dogs. It’s even possible for a dog to be born paralyzed. Paralysis can occur in one, two, or all legs. Dogs showing signs of paralysis, such as: dragging limbs, weakness, pain, or inability to walk properly, need to be treated by their veterinarian immediately. Depending on the cause, immediate treatment may mean a better recovery.
Paralysis and leg weakness can affect both your dog’s front and rear legs. The cause of the paralysis can vary greatly depending on the limb it affects.
Front Leg Paralysis
Commonly caused by damage to nerves in the neck or shoulder, or the radial, median or ulnar nerves in the leg.
Rear Leg Paralysis
Most often, sudden paralysis impacts a dog’s hindquarters. Hind leg paralysis is most commonly caused by nerve damage in the tailbone or lower back or in the tibial, femoral peroneal, or sciatic nerve in the rear leg
Inability to move any limb. Tetraplegia is full paralysis in all four legs at the same time.
Paresis occurs when a dog is only partially paralyzed. They are able to move, but can not move easily.
Although, most often a dog’s legs are paralyzed paralysis can also occur in other parts of the body, including the facial muscles.
Seek immediate medical attention If your pet is experiencing any of the above symptoms.
Conditions Effecting Canine Mobility
There are many conditions that can cause a dog to become paralyzed, here are some of the most common canine mobility conditions:
- Neurological conditions
- Musculoskeletal conditions
- Degenerative Myelopathy
- Cancerous Tumors
- Fibrocartilagnious Embolism (FCE)
- Viral disease (Distemper or Rabies)
- Injury or trauma
- Exposure to pesticides
- Intervertebral Disk Disease
- Spinal injury
Paralysis in dogs is usually caused by a problem in the spine or brain. Spinal compression, herniated discs, and nerve problems can all disrupt the communication between a dog’s spine and brain. When the nerves are unable to function normally, dogs will lose the ability to walk, stand, and control their legs.
Can a Dog Recover from Hind Leg Paralysis?
In many canine paralysis cases, a dog can recover the use of its back legs, but there are a lot of factors that go into determining this. How long it takes for a dog to recover from hind leg paralysis will vary. Some paralyzed dogs will recover very quickly and only be hospitalized for a short period.
However, a dog that is left paralyzed and has significant nerve damage will be a much slower recovery process. Nerves regenerate slowly and heal about 1 inch every month. Regaining full use of their back legs is possible, but the severity of the injury, whether it impacted the spines, nerves, or muscles, how quickly the dog receives treatment, and the location of the injury or spinal damage.
While some nerve damage can resolve over many weeks or months. Giving your dog massages, applying heat, and stretching the tendons will help keep them healthy while the nerve regenerates. Acupuncture, laser therapy, and hydrotherapy have also been shown to be helpful in rehabbing paralyzed limbs and may be prescribed, as well as anti-inflammatory medications and steroids to reduce inflamed nerves.
Treatment Options for Sudden Paralysis
What do you do when your dog is unable to walk? How you help your dog to walk again will vary depending on your dog’s symptoms and their sudden paralysis treatment will vary depending on the cause. It is important to follow Veterinary guidelines to care for your pet and monitor their condition.
Not all paralysis is a permanent condition. Many joint and muscle issues can be helped with surgery and physical therapy. If your paralyzed dog has had a nerve-related injury, the recovery will depend on the nerve sheath condition and how far the injury is from where the nerve ends.
Depending on the severity and cause, surgery may slow down the effects or even correct your pet’s paralysis. Tumor removal, amputations and spinal surgery to correct nerve damage are just a few possible surgical solutions. Immediate medical care and early diagnosis can be key to getting your dog back on its feet as quickly as possible.
Following post-operative guidelines are iatrical for a successful recovery. Speak with your Veterinarian and make sure that your know what steps you need to follow after your dog’s surgery.
In cases of bacterial or fungal infections, the symptoms can be treated with drugs and antibiotics. If your dog is experiencing any pain, the Vet may prescribe pain medications as well. Create a medication schedule to ensure you don’t miss a single dose.
A recent study showed that certain drug therapies are effective in treating dogs paralyzed by IVDD or certain traumas. During this study, dogs involved in the medical trial showed improvement after their course of treatment was completed.
Your Veterinary Surgeon may prescribe acupuncture, stretching, massages, or working with a Canine Rehab Therapist as part of your dog’s recovery plan. The types of rehab therapy needed and the frequency will vary depending on the underlying cause of your dog’s mobility loss.
There are many different types of therapy including massage, acupuncture, stretching, laser therapy, structured exercise, and hydrotherapy.
Integrating a Dog Wheelchair Into Rehabilitation
In many canine paralysis cases, most of the care will be done at home. Your Veterinarian will help you to make a plan to properly care for your dog. Restricting your dog’s mobility through creating rest is common, especially in cases of spinal disease.
Follow your Veterinarian’s plan closely until your dog is fully recovered. Administer the full course of prescribed medications even if your dog appears to be fully recovered. If you have any questions, always call your Vet.
Mobility Assistance for Your Pet
A paralyzed pet will have additional needs, luckily with a little assistance, they can go on to live a relatively normal life. Most importantly, your dog needs to be able to get exercise.
The first thing to pick up for your paralyzed dog would be a wheelchair! The rear wheelchair can help get your best friend up and mobile. They will be able to go out to the bathroom, go on walks, and play! The wheelchair can also prevent further injury, such as pressure sores and rubbing from dragging their weight.
Depending on if your dog is continent or not, doggie diapers may be helpful to keep your house free from urine and feces.
Finally, a lifting harness would be a great start to helping your paralyzed dog. A rear harness will help you get your dog up the stairs, into the car, outside for your dog to go to the bathroom, and around on short walks!
The key to caring for a paralyzed dog is ensuring you have all the right tools available. Paralyzed dogs require special care and support to heal and stay active. Whether the paralysis is temporary or permanent, many assistive devices are available to help make your life easier and get your dog moving again.
Lifting Support for a Paralyzed Pet
A lightweight, denim sling that gently wraps around the center of your dog’s body. Allowing you to gently lift and support your pet. Perfect for post-surgical support.
A perfect lifting harness for pet’s needing support in both the front and rear legs. This is a great option for supporting rear leg amputees.
This harness is also ideal for assisting pets on stairs.
A dog wheelchair gives your dog independence, allowing them regain their mobility and get around freely. A great addition to your dog’s rehabilitation and recovery. Getting a dog back on their feet quickly can help promote healing.
Dogs that are fully paralyzed need to be fitted with a wheelchair. Some dogs with a condition like degenerative myelopathy may do best with a wheelchair. One of my German Shepard patients has degenerative myelopathy. He can rise from the ground on his own and walk a little bit unassisted, but he often drags his feet and will tire easily. He loves his wheelchair! My patient loves to run in a wheelchair on paved paths in the neighborhood. His owner still encourages him to use his back legs most of the time to help him work on his muscle strength and practice walking. However, time in the wheelchair allows him to feel free to experience the joy of movement that is easy and carefree.Dr. Nicole Cohen, DVM., DABVP.
Should I Euthanize My Paralyzed Dog?
While that is only a question you and your veterinarian can answer, there have been so many advancements in the way veterinary professionals are thinking about paralysis and the dog’s quality of life. The good news is that paralysis does not have to be an end-of-life decision. If your dog is happy and showing no signs of pain, there is no reason to euthanize your pup, and with just a little extra help from you, they are able to live normal, active lives!
Dog wheelchairs are an incredible tool that helps paralyzed pets regain their mobility and live normal, active lives. Dog mobility carts improve the quality of life for paralyzed and handicapped dogs around the world. Since 2001, Walkin’ Pets has helped change the lives and mobility of over 1.85 million dogs!
[…] Sudden Paralysis […]
My 3 year old Japanes spitz suddenly can not walk – suddenly the hind legs have given up. She cannot stand on her own. How can i help her so as to be mobile and be able to pee/poop at least? Her appetite is also down. Took her for an xray – nothing in the spine, nor vertebrae.
I am really scared as i have had her from birth….
Please advise me what to do…
Regards from Kenya
Hi Shemina, I’m so sorry to hear about your pup. It sounds like your dog might benefit from the support of a wheelchair. The Walkin’ Wheels wheelchair will support her hind end from underneath, allowing her to stand, walk, and pee or poop on her own. Please contact us at 888-253-0777, we would be happy to help answer your questions!
Why my dog suddenly can’t walk and then after sometime his is normal. why this is happening? Its been 5 times.
I have had the same problem with my Doberman. I suddenly notice he is standing leges braced for a minute or two, then looks confused about what happened and is fine. It has happened 5 times over 3 years with no apparent cause. Otherwise he is very active, runs fast and jump in and out of my suv with ease.
Hi Eowyn, If you need a shoulder strap I would recommend using the Lift-N-Step Harness, this harness will support your dog’s entire body and allow him to go to the bathroom freely. If you have any questions, please call us at 888-253-0777
I have a 8 or 9 year old chihuahua that has recently lost the ability to use his back 2 legs. I want to take him to the vet but, I DO NOT HAVE ANY MONEY in order to take him in though.
I really NEED HELP HERE IF SOMEONE CAN OFFER ANYTHING IT WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED!
I LIVE IN LEVITTOWN, PA BY THE WAY!!
I NEED HELP FAST I AM NOT JOKING HERE I’M DEAD SERIOUS
PHONE – 856-883-5998
Jason, I am so sorry to hear about your Chihuahua, there are resources available to help pets in need. Please find a list of organizations that are able to offer your support here: https://www.handicappedpets.com/financial-aid-for-pets/ If you have any questions, please call us at 888-253-0777
Im sorry your pupper isn’t doing well. Although i have never tried to get funds through a grant I do know there are grants available. First try calling a local animal shelter, ask the question are there any Chihuahua rescues locally…even if it’s far get name call ask them if they know of available organizations that can help. Check some rescues on Petfinder ask them. Even try calling a veterinarian.college, sometimes they are very reasonable and a good lesson for students to see. There’s also Waggle.com i think it’s like GoFundMe for pets. I know some grants are breed specific, keep asking until you find what you need. Some of the local pet stores are aware of rescues keep reaching out. Nothing but love tail wags and milk bone kisses from long island’s Pittie-ful 4 pack and human treat dispenser. Best of luck.
I have a jack russell who just turned 10, 2 days ago he woke up and can no long walk his back legs are frozen in place what can I do? I don’t know what to do .
Paralysis of Front legs – my shitzhu beagle cross has suddenly lost control of her front legs. Vet has treated her for snake bite but no improvement. Are there any aids that can help her get around.
For front legs there are a few different ways you can provide support. A front lifting harness can be used as well as a full support dog wheelchair to help keep her active. Please call us at 888-253-0777 and we can discuss all the support options available.
Okay some of theses comments are in 2023. My French bulldog is 2 yrs old and he was a pretty healthy dog, then out of nowhere both of his back legs just stopped working. He eats but not voluntarily, he also needs help peeing and pooping.We took him to the vet and they gave us some medication. But if it doesn’t kick in in 6 days we have to put him down. Its hard to even look at him without tearing up because this has never happened. Please tell us how to help him!!!
Hi Tyliah, I’m so sorry to hear about your French Bulldog. Have you spoken to a canine rehab specialist or veterinary neurologist? Spinal issues are common in French Bulldogs and many treatment methods are available depending on the diagnosis. Euthanasia is not the only option, I recommend getting a second opinion and determine what’s causing your Frenchie’s paralysis. With proper treatment and support, there’s no reason why you’re dog can’t live a long, active life.
My 11 year old Siberian husky started acting strange 4 days ago first starting with her back legs not being able to stand or put pressure on and the next afternoon all 4 legs. We rushed her to the vet and they said it maybe tick related so they gave her medication and fluids and 36 hours later no results they consulted a specialist and the other 2 options is not possible because she has had no contact with dead animals or been bit by a raccoon. None of my other 2 big dogs or 4 puppies have any symptoms. Her blood work up and physical work up shows she is completely healthy so the vet and me are stumped. No one has a clue what the problem could be. She will snatch her foot away if you push her paws but she cannot hold her head up or move other than that. Any ideas????? We don’t want to put her down by no means but if the vet cannot figure it out what other option do we have she has always been a very active dog and is miserable but she is not in pain. Any help would be appreciated.
So sorry to hear about your husky. It sounds like you’re taking all the right steps to make sure she’s getting the care she needs. If you haven’t yet, I would ask your veterinarian if they would recommend her being seen by a specialist. A veterinary neurologist may be able to give you a better sense of what’s going on. From what you’re describing, it does not sound like euthanasia is the only option. Many paralyzed pets can live a long and active life in a wheelchair. Please give us a call at 888-253-0777, we’d be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Shipping frozen foods is a task that calls for some clever thinking. The most common method is using dry ice, but what if you need to send a package without it? Fortunately, there are alternatives that can help your frozen foods stay icy and fresh throughout the journey.
In this blog post, we will guide you on how to ship frozen food without using dry ice. Let's get started.
Why Choose Alternatives to Dry Ice?
While dry ice is an effective method for keeping food frozen, it is not always the best choice for every situation. Here's why exploring alternatives to dry ice can be beneficial:
1) Safety Concerns
Credit: Envato Elements/ thichaa
Dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide, which is extremely cold (-78.5 degrees Celsius or -109.3 degrees Fahrenheit) and can cause burns if handled without proper protection. Moreover, it sublimates into carbon dioxide gas, which can be hazardous in confined spaces if not ventilated properly.
2) Regulation Concerns
Credit: Envato Elements/ MargJohnsonVA
Shipping with dry ice can be subject to specific regulations. Certain shipping providers enforce stringent guidelines concerning the permissible quantity of dry ice per package, and they may also mandate the use of special labels and documentation.
3) High Costs
Credit: Envato Elements/ BrianAJackson
Often, dry ice is more expensive than alternatives such as gel packs. The additional costs include not just the substance itself, but also the special handling and packaging required.
How to Ship Frozen Food Without Dry Ice
To ship frozen food without dry ice, follow the steps below:
Step 1: Choose the Right Insulated Shipping Box
Credit: Envato Elements/ FabrikaPhoto
The first step in successfully shipping frozen food without dry ice is selecting the right insulated foam containers or frozen food shipping containers. These containers have a layer of insulation, like Styrofoam, that slows down the transfer of heat from the outside to the inside, helping to maintain the frozen state of the food.
Choose an insulated shipping box that fits your frozen food items snugly. Leaving too much space can lead to increased heat transfer, potentially thawing your food items.
Step 2: Use Frozen Gel Packs and Dry Ice Packs
Credit: Envato Elements/ vsoldatov7
Gel packs and dry ice packs are fantastic replacements for dry ice when shipping frozen food. These reusable packs are filled with a special material that can be frozen to a very low temperature. They remain flexible when frozen and provide an excellent way to keep your refrigerated and frozen foods at the right temperature. Additionally, they are great options if you want to ship frozen food cheaply.
To prepare your ice packs for shipping, freeze them for 24-48 hours. Line the bottom of your insulated box with the packs, place the frozen food on top, and then add more packs. Make sure the food is fully surrounded.
Step 3: Use Bubble Wrap and Packing Peanuts for Extra Insulation

While insulated boxes and cold packs are your primary tools for keeping your food frozen, bubble wrap and packing peanuts can add an extra layer of insulation. These are lightweight and cost-effective packing materials that can fill any extra space in your box, reducing the amount of warm air that can enter.
Step 4: Final Check and Seal
Credit: Envato Elements/ megostudio
Before you seal your package, double-check everything. Make sure your frozen and cold foods are secure and surrounded by cold packs and bubble wrap. Ensure there is minimal empty space. Once everything is in place, seal the package securely.
Step 5: Opt for Expedited Shipping
Credit: Envato Elements/ vanenunes
Remember, time is of the essence when shipping frozen food. The longer the transit time, the more likely your food will begin to thaw. To guarantee the safe and prompt arrival of your package, it is advisable to choose a shipping carrier that provides expedited shipping options. USPS Priority Mail Express is a reliable shipping service that can ship frozen food overnight, ensuring swift delivery of the package while maintaining its frozen state.
Step 6: Keep Track of Your Shipment
Credit: Envato Elements/ ijeab
While shipping frozen food promptly is crucial, it is equally important to monitor the progress of your shipment. Take advantage of the tracking services offered by courier companies to stay updated on its whereabouts. This allows you to inform the recipient about the anticipated delivery date, enabling them to make arrangements for the proper storage of the food upon arrival.
Shipping frozen food without dry ice may require a bit more preparation, but with the right materials and strategy, it's an entirely achievable task. By choosing quality insulated coolers, using cold packs, packing your items properly, and selecting an expedited shipping method, you can ensure your frozen food arrives at its destination in excellent condition.

Grieving Their Home
by Sr. Nancy Conway, CSJ
This article originally appeared in the June 2021 News in Brief from the Resource Center for Religious Institutes (RCRI) and is posted with permission.
As the leader of a religious congregation, have you ever found yourself in the painful position of making the difficult decision that your senior sisters can no longer safely live in their current home and need to move to a new home better suited to their evolving health needs?
The new homes we find (or build) for our loved ones are often inviting and beautiful places. Most often we move our loved one(s) to places that have been designed to meet the needs of older persons and offer a myriad of opportunities for activities that were not available to our elders in their previous residences.
"I expected them to be excited and grateful for the beautiful new residence we built for them."
Sr. Nancy Conway, CSJ

Imagine our surprise then when we are confronted by the reality that our older sisters are not grateful for all the effort we have put into creating this new situation, nor do they seem to be adjusting well to their new (and in our view) improved living situation! This new place is so beautiful, we tell ourselves. How could they not recognize how lucky they are to be in such a safe and beautiful environment?
When talking with others who have witnessed a “post-move funk” in their loved one, I have heard them describe their older sisters as “grieving”. For me, use of the word grief has felt too intense–an overstatement. I’ve often wondered, “Shouldn’t we reserve the word “grief” for when we’ve experienced the loss of a loved one?”
Then I came across the very helpful book by Tom Attig entitled, “How We Grieve: Relearning the World”.
In his book, Attig makes the distinction between bereavement (a state or condition caused by death of a loved one) and grieving, which he describes as the process of accommodating this and other types of losses or a major disruption in our lives. According to Attig, grieving is the process during which we re-learn our worlds.
As human beings, he says, we establish patterns in our lives, patterns we come to take for granted and upon which we rely for coherence in our lives. He describes these as “givens” — for example — the arrangement of the rooms in our home, knowing who lives next door to us, etc. These are rarely objects of much reflection on our part — until we lose one or more of these “givens” and must re-learn our world.
According to Attig, the need to engage in this re-learning process is especially critical when we experience a loss in either of these two areas:
1. The loss of our home. We are losing the familiar physical content for our lives and all of the objects, spaces, and conditions we have assumed as givens in our physical environment.
2. The loss of a relationship. We need to re-learn who we are now that we no longer have this relationship.
When we experience either of these two losses, we always need to re-learn a new identity and who we will be in our new circumstances.
I believe Attig’s observations and his recognition of the first loss — of a familiar home — can be applied to what might be happening in the hearts of our older sisters when they move from the place in which they have lived the majority of their lives to a new home. Even though their new home might be beautiful or better suited to their needs as they have aged, our loved ones probably are grieving.
For me, because the new home we built for them was so beautiful and much better suited to meet their needs, it never occurred to me that some of our sisters would be grieving the loss of their previous home. I expected them to be excited and grateful for the beautiful new residence we built for them.
We did recognize the loss of our motherhouse — the physical space that housed so much of their histories and so many of their memories — would be painful. So, we created a variety of rituals that allowed everyone to say goodbye to the old motherhouse. We were attuned to the reality that our motherhouse was not just the container for physical possessions — but that it held our social and relationship histories. We attempted to say goodbye well. What I was ill prepared for was the difficulty of some of our sisters to say “hello” to their new home.
Some sisters seemed to have significant challenges in adjusting to and learning their way around their new apartments and/or the new building. Some very capable older women found it almost impossible to make simple decisions about where to place everyday objects in their lovely new apartments. I was surprised to see their vulnerability when the “given” of whom they share their meals with was disrupted. I was shocked that reducing the number of chairs at the tables in the new Dining Room — to ease difficulties with hearing — was troubling to some.
The difficulty these previously well-coping women had in responding to these and other seemingly small challenges left me puzzled. However, using Attig’s framework, I was able to recognize that these were all examples of how these sisters were facing the challenge of re-learning their worlds. It helped me to not only understand what was going on, but to be more compassionate.
So, how might we support our elders as they face and engage in the grief and inevitable disruption that moving into a new senior living situation can cause?
Here are some ideas from Attig:
1. Attig notes that when someone is grieving the loss of their familiar physical surroundings, they can overestimate the extent of the damage they’re experiencing. In reality, rarely has a move to a senior facility caused the older person to lose everything that matters to them. Pointing out to a loved one what has NOT changed, despite the disruption caused by their move to a new space, can sometimes be helpful.
2. Attig reminds us that even though the initial months might be rocky, over time health individuals can — and most of the time, do — discover the capacity within themselves to adjust and accommodate to the differences in their living situation. So, while it might take a bit to get there, do not give up hope as this adjustment most likely will happen!
However, as we know, individuals vary in their capacity to carry distress. If our loved ones have had a lifetime of difficulty in adjusting to new circumstances, adjustments to their new residence might indeed take a very long time. But Attig notes, if we are patient with them, most people often recover to re-create much of what previously brought coherence to their lives.
3.For those supporting sisters who live a communal lifestyle, Attig refers to some helpful research. This research indicates that when a group of people share the same loss, the coping of the individuals in the group is often linked to and impacted by the coping of other group members.
Therefore, it might be helpful to remind community members that they have the power to help one another move on. How each person faces the challenge of this re-learning process can inhibit or support the ability of other sisters to cope and heal. Telling one another stories that focus only on the past can get in the way of each other’s ability to invest in their new home. The longer we cling to the past, the farther away a sense of comfort and coherence in the present will become.
When we share grief with others in healthy ways, we offer each other support by helping one another regain our bearings. We can remind each other of the stories that demonstrate how we have faced challenges over time, both individually and collectively. This experience can become one of those stories.
Finally, Attig ecourages us to be patient and alert to statements that indicate our loved one is beginning to feel that life is making sense again. These kinds of statements indicate that their process of re-learning their world and embracing what is new is taking hold. While it may take time, re-gaining the sense that one is “at home” will indeed come.

If you haven’t met Jessika Menard, let me introduce you. Menard makes cakes – scrumptious, mouthwatering, smile-bursting cakes.
Better still, she makes her cakes right here in Hudson. And just to ensure that the sweets-loving public has every opportunity to experience her exclusive creations firsthand, Menard recently opened a sparkling new confectionary in Hudson’s IGA building. She calls it Café Cakes par Haute Couture (her motto: art at its finest). And yes, her pastries are that breathtaking.
A resident of St-Lazare who has been in the cake business for three years now, the youthful and very vibrant Menard began her journey as a cake artisan (dare we call it a cake-walk?) the day she set out to bake a birthday cake for her daughter. Unhappy with the standard commercial ingredients at her disposal, she started from scratch – something she had never done before.
The result was such a hit that a second cake soon followed, and another, until suddenly friends and neighbours were inundating her with special cake requests.
“First, it was one cake, then two and by the end of the year I had made 200 or more,” says Menard. “Before I even realized it, making cakes had become a business. Suddenly I was a business woman.”
Today, that number is up in the thousands, as local and regional establishments like Les Moulins La Fayette and Château Vaudreuil increasingly send their pastry orders, especially wedding cake orders, her way.
In the beginning Menard worked from home, doing all the prep and baking in her St-Lazare kitchen. But as the business grew and demand increased, she was compelled to seek out more spacious and better-equipped facilities. This move kept product flowing, but provided little opportunity for direct contact with the public.
“I am a people person,” she says. “I love working with the public. I’m at ease with my customers, and I think this helps them have confidence in me.”
And so, early this past spring, she opened her own shop, next door to the Hudson Ice Cream production centre on the east side of the IGA. Handsomely appointed, Café Cakes par Haute Couture boasts an intimate art-deco coffeeshop setting awash in a sea of fascinating art byHudson’s Susan Porter – the perfect place for a dash of cake, accompanied by a cup of specialty tea or coffee and a spot of ice cream on the side. Menard prides herself on the quality of everything she serves – from her coffee and tea to the variety of her milkshakes (flavours include chai and green tea, a killer coffee shake, and amaretto) to the multitude of decorated cupcakes that line her display cases. A first-time visitor looking for a unique experience might want to test-drive one of her whipped cream cheese pies – they come in many different flavours; or chocolate cheese cake or Black Forest cake served as a mousse, or even the cake-pop – an uptown lollipop with cake replacing candy on the stick; or, frankly, so much else – including gluten free raw vegan cakes. And ice cream is always available to add that special touch to any pastry treat.
Ever on the lookout for new challenges, a few days ago Menard delivered the first in a series of cake-decorating workshops she has lined up. And even as we speak, she is launching a new product, Buttercream icing. Watch for it in a store near you.
Insistent all that she produces be top-of-the-line, Menard is unequivocal. “I want everything I present to be the very best,” she avows.
So far her formula seems to be working just fine.

Conforce – Time Dilation EP
The most obvious question that comes to mind as one listens to the new Conforce EP Time Dilation, is “does Boris Bunnik ever sleep?”
The Dutch producer is about to put out his debut album as Versalife, having delivered a fine EP under the same guise for Frustrated Funk at the very start of the year, and in the meantime has this new record as Conforce. It’s not just Bunnik’s work rate that is startling; the four tracks on Time Dilation mark yet another artistic turn which sees the Dutchman move away from the deep, Detroit techno-influenced sound traditionally associated with Conforce output.
Indeed, if there is a similarity to any of his peers it’s to the grimy sewer techno of Gesloten Cirkel who remixed Conforce’s “24” last year. Maybe the mysterious producer’s influence rubbed off on Bunnik, but irrespective of the explanation, “Receiver” has the same droning, bleating bass as GC’s work, its droning tones anchored in glassy percussion.
Bunnik takes a similar approach on “Nomad”; hissing hats and a rolling groove unravel to the sound of a bass that sounds like belch reverberating all the way up from the hellish depths. This being Bunnik however, there is still a sense of swing to the tracks; wearing the influence of classic Chicago and Detroit sounds more visibly, “Last Anthem” jacks away, its metallic drums supporting a bassline that sits somewhere between classic Joey Beltram and Bunker.
But it’s not all relentless underground techno and on “Embrace”, Bunnik goes back to more mellow sounds, with dubby beats and heavy claps set at a more leisurely tempo and those unmistakable mellow Conforce synths lingering in the ether. According to Bunnik’s latest release, its good to bang, but sometimes a little bit of gentle behaviour doesn’t go amiss.

Provincial Early Recovery Coordinator, UNDP
18 August 2012, 07:38
Dear Remo Fambri,
You have correctly highlighted that despite continuous efforts by the international response community and the resultant measure of progress, there still remains significant deficiency in the humanitarian coordination mechanism especially in the area of mainstreaming local communities , national NGOs and national authorities, the Principles of Partnership(POP) by Global Humanitarian Partnership, the Humanitarian Accountability Partnership( HAP) and Good Humanitarian Donorship ( GHD) notwithstanding. Repeated recommendations in individual agencies 'and overall humanitarian response evaluations underlining this deficiency seem to have little or no effect on the state of humanitarian coordination.
The reasons are many and complex. They range from an inherent inclination on the part of international agencies including donor agencies to resist coordination despite commitments such as highlighted above, lack of patience with the slow moving wheal of an all-inclusive coordination, inadequate capacity of the local agencies and national authorities, dynamics and constraints of supply driven relief and a genuine urge to reach out to the victims of disaster and alleviate their suffering.
Sometime it is extremely difficult to coordinate with the national authorities mainly because the relevant government authorities are themselves not coordinated. In the South Asian context ( which is also relevant to other regions) when the Humanitarian Coordinator and OCHA coordinate with National Disaster Management Authority( NDMA) and streamline the coordination structure , they are, after a while, called by the economic affairs ministry for coordination meeting and shocked by asking as to why they being the focal ministry for all external assistance including humanitarian assistance have not been coordinated . Then there are also coordination demands from foreign and other ministries. Surprisingly, while one branch of the government does not talk to the other, each one expects the humanitarian coordination team and individual agencies to coordinate with it. In some cases the national, provincial and local governments assert that their mandate for disaster response supersedes that of the higher tiers of the government and therefore the coordination structure has to be tailored as they want it. Also the humanitarian agencies located at the provinces and districts have to extend instant relief to the affected communities at the request of provincial and local authorities while the NDMA prohibits any assistance unless it is first cleared with them. This is because they want to (rightly) ensure that any external assistance is solicited only when the disaster is beyond their own capacity. On top of all this is the overbearing attitude of the military, often the most resourceful and organized initial responders, who do not recognize any coordinating structure other than the one in which they call the shots. Even when an integrated coordination structure mainstreaming the government is put in place, the government co- chair often finds it difficult (barring exceptional cases) to balance the competing demands of his primary duties and the relief coordination responsibilities to the detriment of the latter. All this is obviously frustrating to OCHA and the Humanitarian Coordination Team (HCT) which feels obliged to provide instant succor to the affected communities and are at loss which part and branch to coordinate with. They are in a dilemma. If they go ahead on their own, they risk annoying the government which leads to friction,conflict and duplication and if they go with the dysfunctional or slow integrated coordination, they risk not being able to extend relief to the victims even when they can.
Having stated all this, bureaucratic and procedural hurdles by the national authorities give no cause to the humanitarian community to bypass national authorities... It is bound by its own principles and international obligations to let the government spearhead the relief and recovery effort. Not coordinating with government authorities results in duplication and sustainability problems.
To my mind, this problem can be solved through a standing HUMANITARIAN COORDINATION PROTOCOL at individual Country level ( for all disaster prone countries) where full details of coordination are clearly spelt out after thorough deliberations between the respective governments and OCHA. . The national disaster management authority should then disseminate that protocol to all the ministries and relevant departments including provincial governments. This should be followed by capacity building training of the government officials preferably by National and Provincial Disaster Management Authorities with the support of the international agencies. Ideally such training and orientation courses should be periodically arranged where the national officials including national NGOs should be educated on the mandate and working of the Humanitarian agencies and the obligations of the national authorities.
