Dog Walkers Kirkintilloch Scotland (G66): While everyone in Kirkintilloch loves and adores their pet dogs, and more or less treats them as one of the family, it isn't always easy to find sufficient time to exercise them as frequently as is recommended, or give them the maximum attention and care that they obviously deserve. With our active working schedule, a family to take care of and social life to manage it's not always easy to slot in walking your dog, as regularly as you'd like or as much as they need.
Now I suppose you all understand that your dog needs to have exercise and it's imperative that you take your dog for walks frequently, both for the dog's general wellbeing and good health and for fitness benefits. We can all use a bit more exercise and that is why, where feasible, you should always make an effort to walk your own dog whenever you can.
Joint fun-based activities helps both owner and dog to build a strong connection, and if you would like to cultivate a lifelong bond with your pet, this is definitely a fantastic way to do it. The unfortunate fact is however that the majority of people simply do not have the time to walk the dog, and definitely not daily, and this is one particular chore which may habitually be postponed, or simply forgotten.
So, this is where a local Kirkintilloch dog walker will be happy to give you some help, providing frequent walks for your pet and taking some of the stress out of your eveyday life, so you are able to concentrate on more pressing matters without impinging on your dog's routine exercise.

Most Kirkintilloch dog walking services will be pleased to do this anytime you need it, therefore regardless if you would like your dog to be walked every single day, 3 or 4 times a week, or merely when you have other commitments, they will be there to help you.
If is generally a good idea to talk over your requirements and preferences with two or three different dog walking services in Kirkintilloch, since some of them typically take dogs out in groups of 3 or 4, whilst others are willing to do solo dog walks. If you have a dog that is friendly and has no problems with other dogs, group walking could be more beneficial, but if your dog doesn't interact well with other dogs, a solo walk may well be best.
Several Kirkintillochmay be able to provide other pet related services and not just for dogs, for example they might pick up your pet and take it to the vets, go to your home daily to feed or check on your dog, cat or small pet, supply dog or pet board and lodging when you are away or provide your dog or puppy with some basic training if appropriate.

These services can prove quite helpful and provide a wide ranging pet care service that gives you reassurance with regards to the wellbeing, happiness and health of all of your animals and pets, while letting you work, socialize and look after your family.

Juy was born with a profound visual and sensory gift that has enabled her to become the accomplished designer, teacher, and healer she is today. During her childhood, she was entranced by the extensive spectrum of colors and would spend hours immersing herself in drawings and paintings. Her sensitivity extended not only to the visual realm but also to subtler levels, rooted in her mother's line.
After extensive contemplation of her life's journey, she arrived at the realization that her life's purpose was not necessarily confined to a specific vocational sphere but rather resided in her inner disposition and the manner in which she conducted her actions. This profound insight fundamentally reshaped her perspective on life, as she discerned that each endeavor she undertook with sincerity and compassion inherently served as a means of service to others.

The National Assembly of Wales has published a consultation paper which includes specific policy proposals for drivers of company vehicles.
The draft document suggests investigation of road crashes involving company vehicles, banning the drinking of alcohol during the working day and adopting maintenance policies and standards.
The consultation document, called Safe Roads, Safe Communities, will form the basis of the Assembly's new road safety programme and lists company car drivers alongside younger drivers and older motorcyclists as road users who should be targeted with education and training.
Welsh environment minister Sue Essex launched the consultation document last Wednesday.
She said: 'According to a study by the Transport Research Laboratory, company car drivers have been shown to be statistically 30 - 50% more likely to crash than comparable private drivers.
'Speed limiters are only one of a number of possible options mentioned within the consultation document as a way of increasing road safety. The idea is also discussed in the UK-wide Road Safety Strategy document but only as a long-term plan.'
The consultation paper also says local re-enforcement of road safety issues can best be implemented 'where drivers belong to organisations which can adopt and enforce road safety policies. The most obvious of these is the workplace, especially where driving is part of the job'.
If the measures are successfully introduced, it could lead to an increase in the workload of fleet managers to ensure the rules are enforced, and the chance that similar schemes could be adopted elsewhere in the UK. Other proposed measures include traffic calming, residential 20mph zones, pre-driving test training courses for teenagers and high-visibility policing.
It falls in line with the Government's policy of a 40% reduction in the number of people seriously injured or killed on the roads.

From the Sacramento Bee:
California lettuce and spinach producers are now closer to their goal of unifying farm safety standards nationwide.
Five years after E. coli-contaminated spinach sickened hundreds and killed three, the Agriculture Department on Friday formally proposed a "leafy greens marketing agreement" that would essentially extend California's leafy greens regulatory system nationwide.
"This … provides an opportunity for farmers, handlers and retailers of all sizes to work together and develop a practical program," Deputy Agriculture Secretary Kathleen Merrigan said.
Governed by a 26-member board, including as many as seven handlers and producers from California, the marketing agreement would set binding standards on everyone who signed up. These would include recordkeeping, soil testing and field sanitation requirements, among others.

AbstractThe industrial solvent N, N-dimethylformamide (DMF) causes liver damage in humans. The hepatotoxicity of N-alkylformamides seems to be linked to their metabolism to N-alkylcarbamic acid thioesters. To clarify the role of metabolism in DMF hepatotoxicity, the metabolic fate of DMF was investigated in rodents. DMF was rapidly metabolised and excreted in the urine as N-hydroxymethyl-N-methyl-formamide (HMMF), N-acetyl-S-(N-methylcarbamoyl) cysteine (AMCC) and a metabolite measured as formamide by GLC. At high doses (0.7 and 7.0mmo1/kg) a small proportion of the dose was excreted unchanged. AMCC, measured by GLC after derivatisation to ethyl N-methylcarbamate, was a minor metabolite. Only 5.2% of the dose (0.1mmo1/kg) in rats or 1.2% in mice was excreted as AMCC. The minor extent of this metabolic pathway in rodents might account for the marginal liver damage induced by DMF in these species. In a collaborative study, volunteers were shown to metabolise DMF to AMCC to a greater extent than rodents. Nearly 15% of the inhaled dose (0.049mmo1/kg) was excreted as AMCC. This result suggests that the metabolic pathway leading to AMCC is more important in humans than in rodents. Consequently the risk associated with exposure to DMF might be higher in humans than in rodents.
The metabolism of formamides to S-(N-alkylcarbamoyl) glutathione, the metabolic precursor of the thioester mercapturates, was studied using mouse, rat and human hepatic microsomes. The metabolism of NMF (10mM) to S-(N-methylcarbanoyl)glutathione (SMG) required the presence of GSH, NADPH and air. Generation of S-(N-methyl-carbamoyl)glutathione (SMG) was inhibited when incubations were conducted in an atmosphere of CO:air (1:1) or when SKF 525-A (3.0mM) was included in the incubations. Pre-treatment of mice with phenobarbitone (PB, 80mg/kg for 4 days) or beta-naphthoflavone (BNF, 50mg/kg for 4 days) failed to increase the microsomal formation of SMG from NMF. This result suggests that the oxidation of NMF is catalysed by a cytochrome P-450 isozyme which is unaffected by PB or BNF. Microsomal incubations with DMF (5 or 10mM) failed to generate measurable amounts of SMG although DMF was metabolised to HMMF. Incubations of microsomes with HMMF resulted in the generation of a small amount of SMG which was affected by inhibitors of microsomal enzymes in the same way as in the case of NMF. HMMF was metabolised to AMCC by rodents in vivo. This result suggests that HMMF is a major intermediate in the metabolic activation of DMF.

Leaders from farm, education, environmental, non-profit and government organizations called for a collaborative effort to improve farm profitability, environmental regulations, and local food production and consumption systems. Their comments came in response to key findings and recommendations in a report on Farming at Metro’s Edge, issued today at a briefing held at the Universities of Shady Grove in Rockville, MD.
Montgomery Council Vice-President Craig Rice told the more than 65 people attending the presentation of the report at the Universities at Shady Grove that he would ask the Montgomery Council to consider the report’s recommendations, which were developed by over 200 famers, environmentalists, civic and nonprofit leaders, community members, and government officials in the two-day conference held last January at USG.
Rice said consideration should be given to creation of a farming magnet program in area schools and establishing a farm business navigator program (modeled after the existing Small Business Navigator) to assist farmers in growing this important segment of the economy. William Schlossenberg, representing the Universities at Shady Grove, offered his institution’s services as convener of groups working to further conference recommendations. Sara Ducey, Montgomery Collage reported that Montgomery College faculty, recognizing that local food as a rallying point were developing a Sustainable Food production Certificate program to help prepare future producers. Frederick County Commissioner David Gray said he hoped for new interest in farmland preservation in the face of urban growth in Frederick County. Mike Knapp, a consultant for the Town of Poolesville, reported that the town, located in the Montgomery County Agricultural Reserve was developing plans to become a food hub that could serve farmers and consumers, including major institutions and restaurants interested in increasing use of locally produced food.
Three themes emerged from the conference discussions according to the report: securing the profitability of farming, environmental regulations and their effect on farming, and collaboration between farmers and the non-farming public.
Conference participants expressed strong support for strengthening technical and business assistance through the University of Maryland Cooperative Extension and Natural Resources Conservation Services and county agricultural support agencies and higher education institutions in the region; educational programs for the non-farming and consuming public, especially youth; strengthening farmland preservation programs; and reviewing zoning and other regulations to prevent unintended economic impacts on farming.
The major environmental issue identified by the conference was the need for flexibility in the implementation of regulations to respond to the varying environmental impacts of different kinds of farming, and the importance of protecting large contiguous areas of farmland.
The majority of conference participants strongly supported collaboration of farming and non-agricultural groups to improve marketing of local farm products to consumers. Celeste James, Kaiser-Permante Healthy Eating and Active Living Initiative, said local foundations were increasingly active and interested in supporting local healthy food systems and the infrastructure to strengthen and sustain them.

England, at the top of group E in the qualifiers for European Championships of football 2016, struggled for some time against Slovenia who got the 1-0 lead. However, two goals from Jack Wilshere turned the tide. Slovenia fought back though and scored 2-2 in the second half. A few moments later, Wayne Rooney could score the decisive 3-2 goal for England. Two other British teams played a derby this round, Republic of Ireland and Scotland, in a match that ended 1-1. Northern Ireland played a goalless game against Romania at home while Wales beat Belgium 1-0.
In group G, Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored two goals in Sweden’s 3-1 win against Montenegro. While Austria beat Russia 1-0, this means that Sweden is positioned in second place in the group, four points after Austria, four points before Russia. This gives them a good shot at directly qualifying for the 2016 championships. In the qualifiers, all first and second placed teams advances directly to the tournament, together with the best placed third placed team. The other third placed teams will have to qualify through the “Week of Football”, more on that in a later post.
Former Swedish coach Lars Lagerbäck’s Iceland won against Czech Republic which means they are one step closer to their first European Championships ever. Iceland are in the lead in group A with 15 points. Czech Republic is in second place with 13 points and Netherlands are trailing in third place with 10 points. Croatia and Italy played a 1-1 draw at the top of group H. Sadly, the Croatian supporters are embarrassing themself, this time they had painted a swastika on the field. That is a shame, considering the country has become a great sports nation after the civil was that tore up former Yugoslavia. Portugal struggled against Armenia before superstar Cristiano Ronaldo stepped up and score a hat-trick. Portugal won the game 3-2.
As stated above, Sweden won 3-1 against Montenegro. The other Skandinavic countries all got points in this round, except for Finland who lost against Hungary at home, 0-1. Denmark beat Serbia 2-0. Norway played a goalless game against Azerbaijan.
Germany crushed the newcomers Gibraltar 7-0.
The qualifiers continue in the beginning of September and October.

Violence against women and girls isn’t something that’s happening elsewhere. It’s happening right here, right now, in our city.
Violence against women and girls is one of the biggest challenges to our society. In fact, one in three women will experience some form of domestic or sexual abuse in their lifetime.
We’re in the midst of the UN’s 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence campaign.
Last week, the Femicide Census 10 year report was released. It documented the shocking number of women killed by men over a decade, 30 of these were women in the Avon and Somerset area.
Everyone should be aware of the horrifying statistic that a women is killed by a man every three days in the UK - a figure that has remained constant over the 10 years that the Femicide Census has been recording these murders.
But men’s fatal violence against women doesn’t come out of the blue. It is part of a wider pattern of abuse and violence, much of which is rooted in learned behaviour based on the messages from wider society about gender inequality. Messages that are expressed in everyday remarks like “Make me a sandwich!” or “Give us a smile, love!” – reiterating the harmful idea that men and boys are owed attention and service from women and girls.
Just as abuse can – and frequently does – escalate in an abusive personal relationship, the seeds of all forms of violence against women are sown by everyday sexism and harassment which are so common that they are accepted as a fact of life by many of us. Society teaches us to minimise sexism and sexual harassment, and often when we raise the issue of violence against women and girls, it gets shrugged off or we hear: “but what about the men?” - dismissing the original concern. This culture must change.
I’m proud to be a founding member of Bristol Women’s Commission - the only one of its kind in the UK - and a member of the Commission’s Safety Task Group. The Commission was set up to bring representatives from organisations across the city together to help identify and address the issues faced by women and girls in Bristol and tackling gender-based violence forms a significant part of our work.
Like with many issues, Covid-19 has exacerbated inequality for women and girls - as outlined in the Bristol Women’s Commission’s recent reports. The latest research shows that some issues, such as domestic violence murders, child sexual abuse and street harassment have increased. We’re yet to see the latest femicide statistics (they’re not routinely released but are gathered annually by the Femicide Census), but the frontline charities we work with are seeing a notable increase in demand for support. It was reported last week that twice as many women have been killed in lockdown than in pre-pandemic times.
Bristol’s leaders are committed to addressing violence against women and girls - from Avon and Somerset Police Crime Commissioner to MPs such as Karin Smyth and Thangam Debbonaire who raise the issues in parliament. The city is also home to so many fantastic service providers who, although they are desperately overstretched, try to be there for every victim and survivor who needs their help - including One25 and SARSAS (you can see video messages from all the aforementioned on Bristol Women’s Commission social media channels this week).
The Women’s Commission Safety Task group brings together representatives from frontline organisations with decision-makers and academics to share information from our different perspectives on violence against women in Bristol. In doing this we can identify areas of particular concern where action needs to be taken.
A recent survey found that one in 5 girls and young women aged 14-21 had experienced street harassment during the first lockdown. However, official statistics on street harassment are not collected and, even at its most severe when it becomes sexual assault, sexual harassment is rarely reported to the authorities, just like most other forms of violence against women. There have, in recent years, been campaigns to try to encourage more women and girls to report and/or seek help but more work is needed. There are many barriers to accessing support and protection, and those barriers are highest for marginalised women and those experiencing multiple disadvantage and discrimination. We must address this too.
One of the many strands of our work focuses on the sexual harassment of women and girls on public transport in the city; because it’s not captured in official statistics, we only tend to hear of the cases where verbal abuse has escalated into physical attack – and this is not how things should be.
Verbal abuse, catcalling, gestures and worse are a fact of life for women and girls on public transport, and the impact can be severe and long-lasting as we know from national research as well as some small local surveys. We’ve made sure that the issue is on the radar of the city’s transport providers and transport commissioners and are working with them to ensure we have a much fuller picture of this - so we may then address it, with campaigns and action.
We must continue to work together to tackle violence against women and girls, to build a more inclusive and gender-equal Bristol for us all. It’s not just about supporting victims of violence - which Bristol does well - but working with everyone to stop the violence in the first place.

What Reishi Mushroom Can Do For Your Health
A lot of you don’t know about reishi mushroom as a natural supplement. This fungus has been used in East Asian traditional medicine for more than 2,000 years.
But despite its widespread use and increasing popularity as a natural remedy in US markets, only a few studies are available to prove its safety and effectiveness in our health. Do you want to know the benefits that the reishi mushroom can give? Keep reading to understand more about this rare mushroom and find out if this dietary supplement is right for you.
What is reishi mushroom?
Reishi mushrooms grow in hot and humid climates and can be found under deciduous trees. This mushroom can be eaten fresh and can be taken in powdered form as well. What’s good about this fungus is, three health benefits that are strongly proven by studies are found to be useful for our bodies.
Immune system booster.
It is considered as the most beneficial effect of reishi mushroom. Studies have found out that it greatly affects the inflammatory reaction of white blood cells that functions a crucial role in the immune system. A small clinical trial was conducted and showed that this fungus enhanced the immune system of patients with advanced-stage cancer by increasing the activity of natural killer cells, a type of white blood cells.
Not only this mushroom is beneficial to patients who are sick, but it benefits healthy people as well. One study proved that the function of the immune system in healthy adults greatly improved after a 4-week intake of the reishi extract.
There were several test-tube studies conducted about the anti-cancer effects of reishi mushroom. It benefits patients with prostate cancer because of its effect on the male hormone, testosterone. It also plays a part in colorectal cancer prevention by decreasing the number and size of the tumors present in the large intestines. Enhancing white blood cell activity in our bodies is the major function of reishi mushroom in cancer patients, enhancing their quality of life.
It treats fatigue and Depression.
According to researchers, fatigue was reduced, resulting in improved quality of life after an 8-week intake of reishi supplements. Additionally, people who participated in the study were later found out to be less anxious and less depressed.
Other Potential Benefits
The following potential benefits were also supported by studies but were less conclusive. Thus more research is still advised:
- Improves heart health
- Controls blood sugar
- Antioxidant properties

SANTA CLARA, Calif. - James Conner ran for two touchdowns and caught a 45-yard TD pass from backup quarterback Colt McCoy as the short-handed Arizona Cardinals beat the San Francisco 49ers 31-17 on Sunday.
The Cardinals (8-1) were playing without quarterback Kyler Murray and receivers DeAndre Hopkins and A.J. Green but still had little trouble completing the season sweep against the 49ers (3-5).
Conner scored on TD runs on back-to-back drives in the first quarter to stake the Cardinals to a big lead they never relinquished. Conner's long catch-and-run TD on Arizona's first drive of the second half helped put the game out of reach.
Conner finished with 173 yards from scrimmage and now leads the NFL in TDs with 11, all scored in the past seven games.
San Francisco lost a pair of fumbles in the first half and struggled defensively even against McCoy, a career backup who had won two starts in the past 10 seasons. McCoy went 22 for 26 for 249 yards.
The Niners are now winless in four home games this season and are just 1-8 at Levi's Stadium the past two seasons. San Francisco trails Arizona by four games in the NFC West and can afford few more slipups if the 49ers hope to make a wild-card push.
Jimmy Garoppolo played well, throwing for 326 yards and two touchdowns, but the Niners never got the running game established and were gashed on defense. Garoppolo threw a late interception to end any chance at a comeback.
A week after committing no turnovers, not punting and not allowing a sack in a win at Chicago, the Niners wasted little time doing all three against Arizona. Markus Golden had a third-down sack on the first drive, leading to a punt.
George Kittle then fumbled after a catch on the first play of the second drive. San Francisco punted again on the third drive and Brandon Aiyuk lost a fumble on the fourth drive.
The Cardinals set up their second TD with a trick play. Receiver Christian Kirk got the ball on an end-around and launched a deep pass that Antoine Wesley caught for a 33-yard gain to the 1. It was Kirk's first completion in college or the pros.
Conner ran it it on the next play to make it 14-0.
A play with unsportsmanlike conduct penalties on both teams ended up benefiting the Cardinals.
Coach Kliff Kingsbury came running on the field to argue a call after the Cardinals failed to convert on a third-and-long in San Francisco territory. The penalty could have knocked Arizona out of field-goal range, except Niners cornerback Josh Norman was called for taunting while the officials were discussing the first penalty.
The officials enforced the Norman penalty first and then the penalty on Kingsbury. That set the Cardinals up with a first-and-25 from the 26. Arizona settled for a field goal to take a 17-0 lead.
Cardinals: RB Chase Edmonds (ankle), LG Justin Pugh (calf) and TE David Wells (hand) all got hurt during the game.
49ers: RT Mike McGlinchey (knee) left with a knee injury.
Cardinals: Host Carolina next Sunday.
49ers: Host the Los Angeles Rams on Monday, Nov. 15.

In the early and mid-'60s, Hollywood producer Gary Paxton was trying his hand at just about every style of popular music going in a quest to land hits, even though he rarely found many commercial returns for his efforts. Boy Trouble: Garpax Girls collects 26 girl group-oriented tracks from his vaults, some of which found release on various small labels, though over half of them were previously unissued. None of these artists found much success, either with Paxton or elsewhere (if they were even recorded elsewhere). And, to be honest, it's easy enough to tell why none of these recordings made it big: they're not on the same level as the most memorable girl group smashes, in terms of either the vocals or the material, and are often derivative of girl group-styled records being made by other artists, songwriters, and producers. That doesn't mean, however, that there isn't some enjoyable and imaginative stuff here, albeit of the kind that will appeal to specialists rather than collectors who want to focus on top-rank girl group music. Mary Saenz, the Rev-Lons, Mary Saxton, and Sandi Shore all cut likable girl group sides with a Motown touch, for instance, and Beverly Williams' "They Say Big Girls Don't Cry" almost sounds like Carole King trying to do a follow-up to "It Might As Well Rain Until September." The Jackie DeShannon-Sharon Sheeley composition "Back Street Girl," done here by Diana Dawn, is a terrific song, though unfortunately done far better by DeShannon herself on an unreleased demo (not included here, natch). The eerie echoing kazoo of "Boy You Better Watch It Girl" is a good example of a producer making budgetary limitations work for rather than against a record. At other times, however, the songs are on the dull and imitative side -- Jan Paxton's "I've Had Enough Heartaches," for instance, is an obvious attempt to follow in the steps of the Dixie Cups.

I have had eight images published at Eastern Sierra Center for Photography’s website in their “Paradigmatic Nudes” gallery online. Most of these images you’ve seen here before on my blog. The images featured are my whole-plate sized gum bichromate prints of Philip, a model I’ve worked with and my Type 55 Polaroid 4×5 format shots of my friend Jose. I’d like to give a big shout-out to Laura Campbell, their curator and director, for repeatedly selecting my work and having faith in my creative vision. Please go check out their website and see the entire gallery.

My A/C stopped working on Sunday afternoon, the repair tech was there within the hour. He was very friendly and explained the problem and the cost. I decided it was time to replace the system which was ten years old. The estimator was there in no time, looked over my home and the system and gave us several options. We decided on a system, and it was installed and working at 2:30 on Monday. Highly recommend Waychoff's!
Air McCall’s comprehensive Duct Cleaning process includes the use of a fogging machine to sanitize your duct system with an all-natural biocide that is harmless to you and your family, and your pets as well. Most companies use a sprayer (not a fogging machine) to try to sanitize the duct system but the sprayers are not effective to treat the entire duct system.
You should also have air ducts cleaned after recent water contamination or water damage to prevent mold; after renovations or remodeling to ensure debris and dust didn’t settle in the vents and ducts; if you are having problems with allergies or asthma; or when you are moving into a newly purchased home, especially if the previous owners smoked or had pets. The National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) recommends getting your air ducts cleaned every three to five years, or every two to three years in regions where homeowners use their air conditioning and heater for many months of the year, while the EPA suggests homeowners have duct cleaning done as needed.

Katie Walsh: 'Throughout my entire career I was blessed to have Ruby as a big brother'
Just like he always said he would, Ruby went out on a winner.
Throughout my entire career I was blessed to have him as a big brother and a soundboard for advice and what a way for him to go out... riding a Punchestown Gold Cup winner for Willie Mullins. That even beats my exit!
What Rubes has gone through in the last couple of years with injury has been agonising and he felt this was the right time to go and what a few weeks he has had.
From another Grade One at Cheltenham to Aintree and then an Irish Grand National before two more Grade Ones at Punchestown.
Obviously I would have loved to have been there to share it with him, but I’ve had to go to Newmarket, where I’ve got horses selling. But it was fantastic to watch on and know that he got to go out on such a high, on his own terms, and in front of Gillian and the girls, Mam, Dad, Jennifer and Ted.
As Ruby said himself, he got to ride some incredible horses over the years. I think we share the same highlight of his riding career and that was Papillon in the 2000 Grand National.
I led him up that day for Dad and that was probably the one winner of his career that stands out more than any other me. But thankfully there were so many. It was always going to have a special day in our hearts and 19 years later it still does.
There were just so many fantastic days and we were lucky to be there for lots of them. There were some very tough days too and that is the ups and downs of this sport.
They are all behind him now and he can look forward to the next chapter of his life.
Ruby gets to go out on his terms and it was a magical way to finish. I think there is no doubt that he goes out at the top of his game too. Over the last couple of months he has been riding at the peak of his ability and as good as he ever was.
We saw that at Cheltenham, at Aintree and again at Fairyhouse, and he won’t forget his final ride on Kemboy either.
But Ruby has always been a very strong character and I suppose there is a bit of that in us all!
When he decided last summer, or whenever it was, that this was going to be his final season, he wasn’t going to change his mind regardless of what winners he rode in the last few weeks or months.
I’m obviously extremely proud of what he has achieved. We all are, and I hope he enjoys his retirement from the time he wakes up this morning. I’m sure Gillian and the girls will be delighted to see a lot more of him around the place now that he won’t have to go racing every day.
There’s a lot of good races at the Punchestown Festival but the Punchestown Gold Cup is the biggest and Ruby went out on the best possible note.
He won’t care less but he might miss a few more winners today!
I thought BAPAUME (5.30 Punchestown) could win the Stayers’ Hurdle. He ran very well behind Paisley Park at Cheltenham and a repeat of that run would be enough to see him win this against a few older rivals.
Ruby actually had a very good book of rides today when you look down through it.
CHACUN POUR SOI (6.40 Punchestown) looked awesome at Naas when he won and connections are hoping to make up for lost time now as he had been a while trying to get on to the track. This is a quality field but I think he’s the one I’d like to be riding in it.
ELFIE (7.15 Punchestown) then runs in the next race for Willie and she ran well at a big price last week at Fairyhouse after running a nice race at Cheltenham.
This might not be as strong a contest a those races and she can take full advantage.
Jamie Codd had a winner a day so far and can make it three from three in the last for Martin Brassil on the Galway bumper winner YOU RAISED ME UP (7.45 Punchestown).
Martin has City Island running here on Friday but it would be nice if he could warm up for that with a winner here this evening.
Whatever happens, it will probably be a bit quieter than yesterday but I look forward to catching up with Ruby and all the gang when I get back from Newmarket.


Re: How do I check my barrel for proper free floating???
I'm a bit more agressive with the measurement.
I use two business cards. If you notice the 'bumps' on the end of the Remmy's that's about the thickness that when removed should be necessary.
Hot barrel/Cold barrel measures will be almost, if not, identical.
I may be the slowest guy on the mountain . . . . but . . . . I'm on the mountain!

Krill, the marine invertebrates, from where the oil is extracted, are full in essential fatty acids with Omega-3, Omega 6 and Omega-9 . In addition, they contain the essential phospholipids necessary for block building in cellular membranes. Oil from krill has lots of healthy benefits and diet pill dr oz (Highly recommended Site) it’s free from heavy metals harmful to other living bodies. In ways that are many that it’s superior to typical fish oil capsules and highly good for good development and growth of cats, dogs along with other pets.
A recently available study has shown that oil from krill does well on arthritis with mice. It can possibly work well on animals like cats and dogs based on existing research and clinical studies. Krill oil showed a development of 47 % in arthritis among mice, the comfort in pain which is such was brought down by 26 % only every time they had been administered with fish oil supplement. The pet foods are generally devoid with essential Omega-3 fatty acids.
It is evident that if cats as well as dogs are given 1000 mg supplement every day continually for four months the joints of theirs and perform remarkably better, skins and fur gets more shiny.
Krill oil offset the extreme omega 6 fatty acid which is used in abundance in pet foods, vegetable oils, meat fats and corn products. It supplies essential Omega- three fatty acid that blocks suppression and inflammation..
Oil from krill doesn’t let accumulating heavy metals in pet’s body. It’s rich in Eicosapentaenoic or EPA acid. EPA is an Omega-3 fatty acid that fights depression and inflammation. Oil from krill has more EPA and decosahexaenoic acid or Dha than fish oil. Oil from krill regulates which part of the brain that shrunk in depression. Although it costs more than fish oil, though you receive more (around 4 times) from it compared to fish oil. A dog with forty lb excess fat is usually supplemented properly with 2000 to 3000 mg Krill oil capsules each day.
Nutritional awareness for pets has acknowledged that the frequent pets like dogs and cats require Omega 3 fats which are insufficient in commercial food but available in Krill oil supplements in abundance. In addition they suffer like human when overfed with Omega 6 fats which lead to the situations including diabetes, allergies, skin disease, asthma, arthritis, obesity.
The dogs and cats can’t manufacture or perhaps convert the supplement or food they take within their body into the essential fatty acids they require. In case they are supplied with proper supplement filled with DHA / EPA omega-3s that absorbs quick in their body the neurological system of theirs, brain, heart, joints and agility grows as well as develops since they’re younger.

Introduction: American Indian children have high rates of overweight and obesity, which may be partially attributable to screen-time behavior. Young children's screen-time behavior is strongly influenced by their environment and their parents' behavior. We explored whether parental television watching time, parental perceptions of children's screen time, and media-related resources in the home are related to scree time (ie, television, DVD/video, video game, and computer use) among Oglala Lakota youth residing on or near the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota.
Methods: We collected baseline data from 431 child and parent/caregiver pairs who participated in Bright Start, a group-randomized, controlled, school-based obesity prevention trial to reduce excess weight gain. Controlling for demographic characteristics, we used linear regression analysis to assess associations between children's screen time and parental television watching time, parental perceptions of children's screen time, and availability of media-related household resources.
Results: The most parsimonious model for explaining children screen time included the children's sex, parental body mass index, parental television watching time, how often the child watched television after school or in the evening, parental perception that the child spent too much time playing video games, how often the parent limited the child's television time, and the presence of a VCR/DVD player or video game player in the home (F7,367 = 14.67; P < .001; adjusted R2 = .37). The presence of a television in the bedroom did not contribute significantly to the model.
Conclusion: Changes in parental television watching time, parental influence over children's screen-time behavior, and availability of media-related resources in the home could decrease screen time and may be used as a strategy for reducing overweight and obesity in American Indian children.

I remember being avidly curious about human behaviour, and as a child pondering on what adults were saying and doing and how the two were sometimes at odds. Adults can be quite mean and gossipy, and to a child’s ears, the effect is dramatic. I remember faithfully translating adult conversations to the subject of said conversations, leaving the house in an uproar, with everyone denying what they’d said. I was outspoken and descriptive, and I remember my mother constantly telling me to watch my tongue and that it would get me into trouble. Well!! so much for that. It was good advice, I now am much more judicious about what I translate and how I translate it, but I’m still fairly outspoken! Unfortunately, what I leave unsaid, you can read in my face! My favourite aunt told me last year “Debbie, you were such an honest child”… haha at least someone appreciated my honesty back then.
When I was fourteen, my neighbour (who subsequently became my beloved mother-in-law) found a baby in her backyard. She had been taking her morning walk and came across a bloody sari tied around what looked like a rice sieve. When she turned it over, she saw it was a newborn. A dead newborn baby girl. I recall being in my school uniform when my neighbour came running over to our house to drag us across the road to see. I recall the police showing up and being entirely disinterested. Taking notes. Leaving. The case never made headlines, the perpertrators somehow silenced any investigation. Stuff plays out like that in deeply corrupt countries, where the cops can be bribed to look away.
It occurred to me then how little life, particularly the life of a girl child was valued in India. How the people who were there to protect us didn’t care. That life was not fair or kind and that sometimes help needed to come from other, unexpected sources. That crystallising moment allowed me to put together my accumulated observations and become a social crusader, and, in hindsight, quite a pest in class, speaking out against arranged marriages, dowry, the caste system, and other social injustices when all my poor teachers were trying to do was get through boring civics classes! It took me a many lessons over many years to channel that energy more meaningfully.
When you grow up in a corrupt country, where money raised to build wells and homes and educate the poor is siphoned off to the police, government bureaucrats and contractors; where dear friends are burnt to death by their own families for loving the wrong person; where men can grope you in public, harass you at work.. - all with impunity - it affects you. Either you do something about it, or it desensitizes you, just so you can sleep better knowing you did nothing. All of us are one or the other at different points in our lives. But I guess I lean towards the former, mostly.
I came to Hong Kong at a time where there were no anti-discrimination or sexual harassment laws. My first employer, a surgeon from Uttar Pradesh in India, who’d got his degree from the UK, hired me as his medical assistant. He probably thought he was getting the powerless and fearful village idiot, because on the very first day, he tried to make me his “friend” where between friends “there were no boundaries”. It’s a long story of sexual harassment taking the form of alternating between attempted bribing (offers to be my “mentor” while putting me through an engineering diploma at HK Poly), begging, flattery and threats (revoking my visa and having the police break my door down in the middle of the night!), all the while following me around the room, groping and breathing over me (and I have a poem about it) for months, but he hadn’t bargained on the fact that I was not going to take it lying down, no pun intended. Worse, he tried to make be believe that what he was demanding was not what he was in fact demanding. He even wrote in front of me on a piece of paper that I was a dangerous and narrow minded person from India!! All classic bullying and manipulation tactics (it’s called gaslighting, I later learned) to make the victim question their own sanity.
I’m so glad I studied psychology and had observed human behaviours from a toddler, so this man’s gaslighting and disingenuity had no impact. I told everyone who would listen, I complained in writing and in person to the President of the hospital, who encouraged me to sue the man (whom he loathed for allowing his Indian society friends to jump the public hospital queues), but refused to pay for my legal fees or investigate or offer me another position in the hospital!! Imagine if that happened today? My colleagues supported me and ostracised the surgeon; his own research sponsor (God Bless You BH!) gave me a tip on a role that had become recently vacant in another company, and where I thrived for the next nine years. My harasser’s English wife was pregnant with their first child at the time. I learned that they returned to England, the baby was overdue, swallowed meconium and was still born. While my heart broke for his poor wife and child, it taught me that Karma can happen in this life.
So. my first year in Hong Kong with a sexual predator gave me both, severe IBS, and reserves of strength I never knew I had. It gave me back my faith in prayer. It taught me that there are more good people than corrupt ones in this world who will champion you and support you. I used that experience to good effect as an HR practitioner to champion fair and inclusive HR practices, and to recognise how bullies and sexual predators operate, and advise on courses of action.
I have zero tolerance for people who abuse their power instead of protecting and serving. I don’t care if you were my former benefactor, or a friend or a relative or an upstanding member of my church. I’ve seen discrimination in action and felt the affects of misguided loyalties that stop even “good” people acting.

THE CRETAN WAR (1645-1671)
The Venetian-Ottoman Struggle in the Mediterranean
Autore: Bruno Mugnai
Esaustiva ed autorevole trattazione della Guerra di Candia fra Venezia e Impero Ottomano nel XVII secolo. Capitoli sulla logistica e l’organizzazione degli eserciti, le tattiche di combattimento, gli armamenti e l’abbigliamento dei soldati combattenti.
• The Cretan War was a miscrocosm for the Christian-Islamic conflicts of the era
• This book reveals the importance of this little-studied war to 17th century Europe
• The author argues it marked the dawn of modern warfare where supplying the army was as important as the military strategy itself
A considerable part of the military history of the 17th century is dominated by the conflict between the Christian powers and the Ottoman Empire. Much has been written about the politics and the campaigns that led to the siege of Vienna in 1683 and the defeat suffered by the Sultan's armies, while, until today, there are relatively few studies on the long war that opposed Venice to the Ottoman Empire. The importance of the event in the context of politics not only of the Mediterranean, but of all Europe, is easily found in the number of chancelleries involved in the war, both directly on the battlefield or in diplomatic negotiations. The strategic duel involved the belligerents in the control of the supply routes, and the metropolitan territory of both sides remained almost excluded from military operations. It was a conflict where the logistics organization and the ability to supply the armies made the difference, similar in many ways to the campaigns in the south-western Pacific during the Second World War. It could be said that the Cretan War was the first conflict of contemporary age, but fought with the means of the 17thcentury.
Other aspects make this conflict a topic of great interest. Just remember that in the last years of war, men from almost all the countries of Europe were concentrated in Crete - and for the Ottomans also from Asia and Africa. Even with regard to the reconstruction of military clothing and equipment, this work finally opens a window on a period not very frequented by researchers, although these are years in which great transformation took place both in the armaments and in the development of new combat tactics. The different types of soldiers involved in the conflict have been illustrated with care in colour plates, based on the most significant coeval examples and employing several unpublished sources.
The army and the navy of Venice and Ottoman Empire during the campaigns fought for the possession of the 'pearl of the Mediterranean'. The legendary Venetian resistance impressed the courts of whole Europe, transforming the conflict in the 'Campo di Marte' of the continent.

Opposition Grows to City-Controlled Task Force Designed To Overturn Conflict of Interest Reform
Santa Monica, CA — The first politician to comply with a good government ballot initiative approved by Pasadena voters returned a campaign donation accepted in violation of the measure’s conflict of interest protections, according to a letter sent today to the former Pasadena mayor who has challenged several current councilmembers for violating the law.
The initiative, passed by 60% of Pasadena voters as Measure B in 2001, bars city officials from accepting campaign cash, gifts or a job from any person they award a public benefit, such as a city contract, a lucrative franchise or the purchase of property. Councilmember Paul Little stated he has returned $250 from Maguire Partners, a developer that gave several contributions after receiving council approvals to demolish an old building in downtown Pasadena and make way for an office building complex, over the objections of other city officials.
Former Pasadena Mayor Bill Paparian sent demand letters to four councilmembers and the mayor, demanding the return of campaign contributions taken from companies that received a public benefit approved by the members. The Foundation for Taxpayer and Consumer Rights (FTCR) called on the rest of the council to comply with Measure B and return the donations, abandon the attempt to use a task force to overturn the measure, and move forward with the implementation plan initiated in August.
“We urge the remaining councilmembers to comply with the will of the voters and return any and all campaign cash they took in violation of voter-approved conflict of interest laws,” said Carmen Balber, consumer advocate with FTCR.
The City Council voted to create a task force last month in an effort to turn over the conflict of interest measure. Little and a second councilmember broke ranks and opposed the council’s move against the measure at this week’s council meeting. Councilmember Haderlein voted against the task force he deemed “tightly controlled by the council” and reversed a five-year position on Measure B, saying it is not “as burdensome as we all thought.”
“Measure B is narrowly tailored to prevent specific conflicts of interest that the voters felt could be so harmful they must be prohibited. We applaud Councilmember Haderlein for recognizing the council’s mistake, and urge the other members to abandon the costly task force and quickly implement the initiative’s good government reform,” said Balber.
Councilmember Haderlein took the council to task for using its power to overrule a voter initiative: “I’m just very uncomfortable with this council writing its own rules. ‘We are going to select its members, select its chair, we’ve heard a debate on what we expect them to do. We have the possibility of having council members serve on this. When the work product comes back, the product is one for the council to accept or amend or reject, before going to the voters. It is not an independent group and that makes me uncomfortable.”
Haderlein seemed to express an opinion that the measure was deliberately written and not overly restrictive, contrary to previous assertions. Responding to research into Measure B violations conducted by former mayor Paparian, he said: “We first feared that they would be very difficult to live with. And I shared those fears. For me, it was a single donation that [Paparian] took exception to over five years. One donation in five years. I just don’t think it has been as burdensome as we all thought.”
And the Councilman cautioned the council against overruling the will of the voters: “Lastly, I do think this sets a bad precedent. If a future council decides they don’t like the rules, well, what’s the process? You appoint a task force, you tell them what to come back with, and go to the voters. I’m just uncomfortable with that process.”
The council is scheduled to appoint six members and vote on a charge for the task force next Monday, but discussion this week indicated that agreement on the group’s mission will not be reached easily. A chair was appointed and the budget approved on a 6-2 vote.
The City Council lost a three-year legal challenge to the initiative in April when the California Supreme Court rejected the city’s request to reopen its failed lawsuit against the measure.
Pasadena spent three years and hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars fighting the political reform initiative in court.
The city of Pasadena attempted to invalidate the law by refusing to report the election results to the Secretary of State. A Pasadena citizen and the Foundation for Taxpayer and Consumer Rights were forced to bring suit to compel the city to put the election results, and the initiative, on the books. The city responded by suing FTCR to try and overturn the initiative. The Court of Appeal ruled that Pasadena had violated FTCR’s first amendment rights by suing to overturn the initiative and threw out a superior court judge’s ruling against it.

Simultaneously surprising and not surprising: Derek Jeter has announced that 2014 will be his last season.
Surprising because it’s going to be hard to imagine baseball without Derek Jeter’s presence. His injuries last season aside, the New York Yankees shortstop has been baseball’s constant for nearly 20 years. Not surprising because he turns 40 in June and that’s a couple of years beyond even the greatest, longest-lived and most durable shortstops in the game. He sounds like he’ll be ready for the upcoming season, but there cannot be too much more gas left in the tank.
As it stands entering his final year, Jeter has five World Series rings, five gold gloves and 3,316 hits and a career line of .312/.381/.446. He punched his first-ballot ticket to the Hall of Fame years ago. Now he’s playing for the right to go out healthy, on his own terms and, if things break right for the Yankees, a winner.
Prepare for six months of “Let’s win one more for the Captain.” And a lot of retirement gifts.
Here is Jeter’s announcement, as posted on his Facebook page:
- Red Sox announce four-year, $88 million deal with Hanley Ramirez, DFA Juan Francisco 21
- The Cubs have offered Jon Lester “north of $135 million” 51
- Pablo Sandoval’s deal: five years, $98 million plus an option 40
- Kyle Seager, Mariners close to $100 million extension 25
- The 2015 Hall of Fame ballot is out — Randy Johnson, Pedro Martinez are new on the ballot 286
- So what would the Red Sox look like with Hanley Ramirez and Pablo Sandoval? 49
- UPDATE: Red Sox finalizing a 4-year, $88 million deal with Hanley Ramirez, with a vesting option 35
- MLB players react to Odell Beckham, Jr. catch on Sunday Night Football 27
- The 2015 Hall of Fame ballot is out — Randy Johnson, Pedro Martinez are new on the ballot (286)
- More Hall of Fame ballots like Adam Rubin’s please (136)
- UPDATE: The Pablo Sandoval-Red Sox deal is done, pending a physical (133)
- Report: “There is a 90 percent chance that Pablo Sandoval will sign with the Red Sox” (130)
- Sexual assualt charges reinstated against Tigers pitcher Evan Reed (129)
