This is just one of dozens of testosterone treatment lawsuits pending in U.S. courts that claim these medications can cause heart attacks, strokes and other heart problems.
New York, New York (PRWEB) May 23, 2014
Testosterone treatment lawsuits (http://www.injurybeacon.com/testosterone-androgel/lawsuit/) continue to be filed in courts around the country on behalf of men who allegedly suffered life-threatening cardiovascular events due to their use of low testosterone therapy, Bernstein Liebhard LLP reports. Last month, a Delaware man filed suit in the U.S. District Court, Northern District of Illinois, alleging that his father’s fatal heart attack was brought on by his use of Axiron and AndroGel. According to the April 8th complaint, the decedent began using AndroGel in October 2011, when he was 58 years old, and switched to Axiron in January 2012. Though he had no history of heart problems prior to starting treatment, he died in April 2012 after suffering a serious heart attack. The testosterone lawsuit accuses the manufacturers of AndroGel and Axiron of making false and misleading statements regarding their safety, though they actually increase a patient’s risk of suffering a life-threatening heart attack. (Case No.: 1:14-cv-02495)
“This is just one of dozens of testosterone treatment lawsuits pending in U.S. courts that claim these medications can cause heart attacks, strokes and other heart problems. Our Firm receives inquiries on a regular basis from men who allegedly suffered similar injuries,” says Bernstein Liebhard LLP, a nationwide law firm representing the victims of defective drugs and medical devices. The Firm is currently offering free testosterone lawsuit reviews to anyone who may have suffered heart attacks, strokes, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, or other serious heart problems allegedly due to the use of prescription testosterone therapies.
Medications like AndroGel and Axiron are used to treat hypogonadism (low testosterone) in men who suffer from the condition due to a related medical issue. In January 2014, the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) announced it was investigating the heart risks potentially associated with low testosterone therapies, after two studies indicated the mediations could increase the risks of heart attacks, strokes, and death in certain men.
According to court documents, more than 80 testosterone lawsuits have been filed in U.S. courts since the FDA issued its alert. Among other things, the complaints claim that men were enticed to use these medications by marketing that positioned low testosterone therapy as a remedy for fatigue, low libido and other symptoms of normal aging. On May 29, 2014, the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML) will hear oral arguments on a motion to consolidate all federally-filed AndroGel lawsuits in a single federal court for coordinated pretrial proceedings. The manufacturers of AndroGel, Axiron and Fortesta have voiced support for the establishment of a multidistrict litigation, but have requested that the proceeding include all federal testosterone claims, regardless of the drugs involved. (In Re: AndroGel Product Liability Litigation, No. 2545, JPML)
Men who used drugs like AndroGel and Axiron many be eligible to file a testosterone treatment lawsuit if they suffered a heart attack, stroke or other heart event allegedly caused by their medication.

Lead singer, Ai, strutted her sexy stuff while belting out songs with titles like, “Rusty Pogo Stick” and “Syntax.” Keyboardist Lisa brought plenty of flavor as well, backing Ai with her own brand of stylized cool and synth-pop instrumentation. Michael (guitarist) and Tim (percussionist) added the perfect touch of proficiency and edginess to the onstage vibe.
Old fans that turned up lent support via hearty catcalls and plenty of dancing. New fans quickly became converts, offering up a cavalcade of applause and compliments.
Pink Mochi's set was an unexpected sigh of relief, considering the influx of trite “alternative” bands and death metal throwbacks invading the city. The marriage of the group's impressive roster of songs and Ai's friendly banter with audience members also proved a great relief from the bitchy pushing and shoving I endured on the congested Cinespace dance floor.
High point: the group's song “Saban Deka,” with its playful melody and dangerously dirty grooves was hot, hot, hot. Low point: a couple of side-ponytail-clad OC twins in tacky '80s blouses and matching khaki capri pants rushing the stage and dancing (poorly) on the band's amps.
Although Lisa seemed amused by the girls' presence, we, in the audience were not. One guy standing next to me actually simulated a rifle and pretended to take each of the dancers out with all the precision of a hunter. Kudos to the top-notch security for shooing those babies back to Anaheim.
Unsanctioned backup dancers notwithstanding, this show was tons of fun and left me wanting seconds. I thoroughly enjoyed the set, with all of its moody elegance, fashion-forwardness and classy, but urban, attitude.The Los Angeles music scene could definitely use more bands like this one. Pink Mochi is the best new craving for the most discerning musical appetites.


Plus Dane Group is expected to be confirmed next month as winner of a £100m contract to manage housing stock in Ellesmere Port and Neston, Cheshire.
The five-year deal is subject to final approval by Cheshire West & Chester Council's executive on Monday 16 April. If the deal is approved, the housing association will take over the management, repairs and maintenance of more than 5,800 homes on 1 July. Some 200 council staff will transfer to Plus Dane and there will be no compulsory redundancies.
Plus Dane already owns and operates 13,000 homes in Merseyside and Cheshire. Chief executive Ken Perry said: "Everyone at Plus Dane is delighted that Cheshire West and Chester Council has put its faith in us to assist, not just in improving the management and maintenance of the existing Council housing, but in playing a part in the overall transformation of the area.
"Being a neighbourhood investor means working alongside, with and for the people of Ellesmere Port and Neston. The selection process has enabled us to meet some very impressive people including existing tenants, staff and people from the public, private and voluntary sectors. We hope that we can help bring people together with a renewed sense of common purpose to further improve the quality of life, choice and opportunity for everyone in this wonderful town."
Peter Shaw, Plus Dane's managing director for the contract, said: "Everyone involved in the bidding process is really excited about the prospect of working alongside colleagues already delivering the services for Ellesmere Port and Neston tenants.
"We are already planning for the start of the contract and to begin implementing our proposals as soon as we can. A big part of this is to secure a suitable office base in the area so that the services can continue to be delivered locally."

Chapter 11 : Lost
| ||Rating: Mature||Chapter Reviews: 22|
Background: Font color:
Disclaimer: All that you recognise is not my work but the work of genius JKR! .
Once I had figured out whom my heart should belong to, I thought my life would be a lot easier. Sadly I could not have been more wrong.
With every passing day I had to deal with a new complication. Either Sirius and Jason both wanting to finish their homework with me or them both wanting me to join their friends for our next Hogsmeade outing and so on and so forth. All in all I seemed always to be caught in the middle of it. On top of it all the homework and pressure from teachers kept increasing.
Although I was suffocating with stress the air became steadily colder and frostier. The best part of the decision I made was that I was guilt free. I enjoyed Jason’s company without a thought about Sirius. The closer our relationship grew the easier it was to enjoy it without regrets.
My only worry was Nora. When I told her the news of Jason and I being official her reaction was surprise. I could clearly see that she thought I was making a big mistake by letting go of Sirius. She never told me this in person but I knew my best friend and I could tell. Still, like Aunt Agatha, Nora was supportive and allowed me to enjoy my relationship with Jason.
I spent a lot of my free time with Jason but since he was a year senior to me I didn’t get to spend much time with him during classes. Since he was also a Prefect he was not open to the idea of skipping classes either. But I liked that he was serious about his studies and had a clear idea of his future. It was a sign that I was aware of what was good for me.
The classes, I spent flanked by my two best friends, Nora and Sirius. Sirius was still his usual charming self. He winked at girls and joked with them as they passed him in the hallways. But I noticed lately that he didn’t relinquish his time with me in favour of their company as he had done previously.
It made me happy in a way. We had a lot fun during the times we got to hang out. We talked and played stupid games like the old days and both of us laughed for no reason. We were ourselves again. I had missed that. Only then did I realise just how much.
I woke on Friday morning eternally grateful that the weekend was upon us. The past week had been very busy with all the extra homework and the extra practice session James had added to the middle of the week. I was among the last to wake up in our dorm and therefore had to hurry to get dressed.
I was at the foot of the stairs when I realised I’d forgotten my Potions essay and had to head back up.
Nora shook her head at me “I’ll save you a seat”.
I thanked her and ran back up the stairs. My essay sat on my bed next to a black velvet cushion.
My beloved cat had been not returned to my dorm for a week but I wasn’t worried as she had been gone longer before on her exploratory excursions around the castle. Casper invited me with a sweet meaow.
When I pulled the essay from under her tummy she rolled over onto her back and clawed at it. I opened my trunk and threw her favourite pink toy mouse at her. She caught it as it flew toward her and seemed content at clawing at it. “Wish I could stay honey, but I gotta run!”
I packed my essay into my bag I realised I was late for breakfast so I hurried out of the dormitory down the stairs to the common room. I looked up when I heard footsteps on the opposite set of stairs. Stephan and Sirius were coming down the stairs talking about something related to Shrinking Charms.
“That’s great! Thanks for all the help Sirius” said Stephan as they reached the common room.
“Hey Capri” Stephan smiled as he saw me, I smiled back warmly.
Sirius looked up halfway through knotting his tie.
I was still standing where I stood so Stephan waved as he left the common room.
I turned back to Sirius smiling “Need help with that?”
“Errr...” he debated with himself for a second, pulled off the tie and dropped it onto an armchair “Nope, I’m good to go”.
I couldn’t help but laugh as we both headed out of the common room to the Great Hall.
“How come you’re late? Where’re the rest of the princesses?” Sirius asked as we reached the bottom of the marble staircase.
“They went down already. I had to go back up, Casper stole my essay”
“Your cat?” Sirius laughed “Ingenious: cat stole my homework!”
I rolled my eyes.
Breakfast at the Gryffindor table was rather quiet. James in particular sitting accidently directly opposite Lily beside Sirius was unusually subdued, no doubt eager to avoid another conflict with Lily so early in the morning. Nora and Kate were having a quiet discussion over the morning Prophet next to me. I leaned over to join in.
“What’s going on?” I asked Nora.
“They found another one” she said in a grave voice showing me a small article on the folded newspaper below a considerably large article with the heading that read Minister Congratulates Winner of ‘Britain’s Largest Pumpkin’!
“Another what?” I asked and she pointed at the article below the picture of the huge pumpkin with its grower.
It was a small heading and a few paragraphs that had caught Nora’s attention. I picked up the news paper and read.
Webber and Hoggins Missing No More
Mr. Alfonso Webber, Ministry correspondent for Muggle Prime Minister’s office along with cousin, co-worker and Ministry of Magic employee Mr. Richard Hoggins were reported missing two weeks ago.
To the deep distress of their friends and family Mr. Webber’s body was discovered yesterday evening in a graveyard in Ravenport. The body was witnessed by three wizards and a muggle.
The Ministry officials who arrived at the scene said Mr. Webber had been killed using an unidentified spell. In response to speculation if the curse in question could be the infamous Killing Curse and if the death of Mr. Webber is the work of an organised group of criminals or a singular person the Officials had no comment.
Mr. Hoggins is now feared dead. Officials continue to search for clues that may help find him and possible motives for these crimes. Meanwhile the Minister alerts the magical population to be cautious of their neighbourhood.
Ministry officials now search for Mr. Hoggins with the hope that they are not too late.
The death of Mr. Webber brings the total of missing persons found dead this year to sixteen.
After finishing the article I realised the hairs on the back of my neck were standing up.
“How long has this been going on?” I asked Nora urgently in a whisper.
She swallowed her bite of toast, “A few months now. The Ministry is trying to keep it quiet so the people won’t panic you know.” Her voice was still serious as she continued “Every few weeks someone is reported missing. A few weeks later they find their bodies... No one knows why this is happening and who’s responsible for this.”
I nodded, too dumbstruck for words. I had barely touched my food.
For a long time I had thought the Wizarding world, my true home, was safe. Bad things did not happen here. I thought there was nothing I had to fear. But as this information that I had been too preoccupied to notice sank in I realised how naive I had been.
The world I belonged to was in fact in many ways much more dangerous than the muggle world I’d left behind.
Sixteen disappearances... Sixteen! And no leads as to who could be behind this.
“Cappie, we’re late! Let’s go!”
I shook my head to dislodge the disturbing thoughts swimming in it, picked up my bag and followed Nora and Lily to the Care of Magical Creatures classroom.
An hour of taking care of young Pygmy puffs (quite adorable multicoloured little furballs ) managed to drive the horrible morning news out of my head. It was thoroughly enjoyable to watch the boys trying to be gentle and nurturing with the little Pygmies. After some draining Transfiguration next I was gladly waiting for lunch.
After stuffing myself with steak and kidney pie I headed to the library to meet Jason during my free period. I was just turning toward the Library entrance when someone called me from behind.
I turned around bewildered as a rather plump boy ran toward me across the corridor. He stopped in front of me holding his knees, completely breathless.
“Are you alright?” I asked him genuinely concerned while I waited for him to catch his breath. He nodded vigorously and pulled himself up finally.
“I’m so sorry... I had to run up... four staircases... to reach you!” he explained in a cheerful tone while panting.
“That’s ...alright. Errm can I help you?”
“Oh no no... I have a message for you!” the boy pulled out a small envelope from his pocket and handed it to me. “It’s from Jason!” he added in a whisper leaning close to me.
“Oh!... thank you!” I said as politely as I could so he would respect my personal space. He smiled, nodded happily and left.
I pulled out the envelope and read.
I’m terribly sorry but I won’t be able to make it to the Library today. I’ve some charms I need to practice before 4th period or Flitwick would eat our brains. I promise to make it up to you. I do hope you’ll forgive me for the sudden change of plans.
Hope your day is going wonderfully. I miss you, today the smell of your hair in particular.
With love, J
I was smiling as I finished the letter. He didn’t have to make it up to me. His thoughtfulness was enough to show how much he cared for me. If I was dating a certain someone else I would have waited aimlessly for an hour at the Library at the end of which I would get a “Sorry Cap, something came up!” I smiled again and pocketed the letter heading back to the Gryffindor tower.
The common room was empty except for a few seventh years and of course the troublesome foursome.
“Hey! Aww no conjugal visit today?” asked Sirius who was leaning on the couch passing a Quaffle to James on the armchair opposite him. James and Peter snickered.
I pulled a face at them while taking a seat beside Remus who was finishing an essay of his. Together we finished the remainder of our homework before the end of the period. Nora and Kate returned from the tutoring to get their books for potions and all of us headed to class.
The boys made jokes and played pranks all the way to the classroom but then fell silent at the door. I followed their gaze to see Lily standing in front of the classroom door chatting merrily with none other than Severus Snape.
Severus hadn’t changed much since I’d first seen him. He’d grown taller, but that was about it. He still had the same sallow skin, greasy hair and the same unreadable expression on his face.
He had been friends with me and Nora in our first year but as time passed like all Slytherins he developed an aversion towards us. His association with less than human friends like Mcnair and Avery made us gladly return the feeling.
But not Lily. No, Lily was the one exception. She did not look at Severus the way she looked at the rest of the bloodthirsty Slytherins and Severus never looked at Lily the same vengeful way he looked us.
I was standing at the front of the crowd as we reached the pair of them and was suddenly pushed aside when James walked up to stand in front of Severus. Both were the same height but the fact that Severus hunched a lot while clutching his books to his chest made it appear as though James towered over him.
“What are you doing lurking here, Slimeball? Where are all the Reapers you follow around” James said through his clenched jaws.
James had always been genuinely kind and soft tempered. But Severus was his blind spot. They had hated each other for as long as I could remember. James could never tolerate him no matter how much he tried and the fact that Lily always took Severus’ side poisoned his temper further.
Severus rolled his eyes, clearly bored. It was obvious that James’ threats meant nothing to him now.
“I wouldn’t know. We’ve all grown up and fallen out of following each other all day long like a pack of mutts” said Severus carelessly. Lily laughed softly and I immediately scowled at her.
I could hear James grinding his teeth. Sirius pushed me further aside and stepped forward to stand beside James. Severus had straightened up and his hand in his cloak meant he was gripping his wand and was ready to strike. As usual James and Sirius had their wands out in plain sight. I knew right then this would only end when all of us had gotten detention. Detention!
With a sudden idea in mind I stepped forward to stand between James and Severus. Severus looked confused and Sirius tried to hold me back but I shook his hand off me.
“James!” I said quietly but urgently.
“Potter!” warned Lily more loudly.
“Not now Cappie” he said through his teeth but I pressed on.
“James he’s a Prefect. We’ll get detention for two weeks! Two weeks without Quidditch practice! You know we need to train, there’s no way we are ready to beat Ravenclaws yet.” Sirius snorted and I threw him a look for being so unhelpful.
“James, do you really want to let them have the last laugh?” I turned to look at Severus over my shoulder as I said ‘them’. I knew this would work, if there was one thing I could use to get through to James it was Quidditch... and Lily of course but in this case that was a moot point.
He stared coldly at Severus for a long second and then sighed and walked inside without a second glance at Lily. As I stood there I gave Lily what was probably a look of disappointment at how trivially she treated James’ feelings for her.
Sirius put his arm around my shoulders and steered me toward the classroom. He turned back over his shoulder to look at Severus one last time.
“You really think she’ll stick by you when she finds out what you’ve been up to? She doesn’t know about all the night time Astronomy classes you’ve missed does she?”Sirius’ smirk though I couldn’t see it was evident in his voice. “Believe me, when we find out she’ll be the first to know. Say your prayers nightly, Snivellus!”
Lily didn’t scream at Sirius for the pet name for Severus she detested so much. No doubt she was questioning the truth about Sirius’s statement from her best friend. I was wondering about the same.
When we entered the class Professor Slughorn walked in though his office and asked us all to be seated. I was about to set my bag down on an empty seat when Sirius pulled me toward him.
“Do you mind sitting with Nora and them today? I should check on James” he said. I looked at James sitting right at the front tearing his Beatshoot leaves apart with excessive force.
“Of course” I nodded. Sirius smiled and left to join James.
An hour later, amid a lot of gossip and some good laughs, Nora and I managed to brew a perfect Relaxing Draught. It’s clear pale pink surface shimmered just as expected in the final finished potion.
“Well done ladies!” exclaimed Slughorn as he reached our table. He ladled some of the potion as he examined it “My word! It’s very good indeed!” Nora and I exchanged a triumphant grin. Slughorn then leaned closer towards us and said in a hushed tone “Both of you must join me tonight at my party! I look forward to seeing you two there! Well done! Well done indeed! 20 points apiece!”
Nora and I had never been invited to a Slug Party before. We exchanged bewildered glances as he walked off to another table.
“Is he serious?” I asked her.
Nora simply smiled and shrugged.
A few hours later, the invite to party with the Slug Club was all too real. Nora wore my peach floor length dress and I wore the new green dress that Aunt Agatha had bought me. Kate helped us charm our hair into thick curls. I let mine bounce loosely around my shoulders while Nora pinned hers to the side.
When we arrived at Slughorn’s party, it had already started and we could see a few familiar faces. Sirius and James were laughing at a joke the Hufflepuff Quidditch captain was saying. I was surprised to see none other than Jason not too far away, deep in conversation with an out-of-place looking Professor Flitwick. I hoped he had managed to practice the charms he had mentioned in his letter. I didn’t want to barge in so I scanned the room for another recognizable face.
The room was circular and decorated with green drapes of all shades. Glittering green and gold baubles hung in midair across the well lit room. The walls were lined with tables full of all types of food, fruit and bottles of wine. The centre of the room was cleared and a few couples danced in slow circles.
Lily was a short distance away from us and seemed to be having an interesting conversation with Amir Patel, a Gryffindor sixth-year. Lily and Severus were already members of the Slug Club. They were always invited to these parties. She smiled and waved as she saw us and Amir turned to see who had caught her attention.
“Nora! Hi! I didn’t know you were coming” he exclaimed as he caught sight.
“I didn’t know you’d be here!” Nora said in the same pleasantly surprised tone.
I stood there completely stunned wondering how they knew each other so Nora took the initiative.
“Cap did I tell you? I’m tutoring Amir on some Charms topics. He’s missed some classes over the holidays last year”
“Oh!” I was genuinely surprised but I caught how Nora’s voice went up an octave as she said his name “Wow, I didn’t think fifth year’s could tutor sixth years! That’s interesting!” I said turning a raised eyebrow at Nora. Lily too seemed to be catching on and we both continued to stare at Nora who was obviously blushing.
“I would have asked a sixth year for help but Nora is very good and she helps me understand the theory a lot better” Amir said as he praised Nora making her blush even more. Lily and I suppressed our smiles.
“It helps that you’re an excellent student” said Nora in response.
“Evans!” Professor Slughorn’s voice came from behind us, “Oh, there you are Waltham! Come along both of you I’ve got some people I want you to meet. Where’s Reese? Oh there she is! Patel why don’t you ask her to dance? Evans, Waltham come with me. Come along now” and with that Professor Slughorn led the way through the dance floor while Amir Patel led Nora onto the dance floor.
Slughorn then coaxed Lily to accept a surly looking Slytherin fourth year and they soon followed Nora and Amir. I watched the happy carefree people dance in revolving circles. James soon joined them with Giselle Walter, a girl commonly thought of as the most beautiful sixth year girl of Hogwarts. With her long straight silver-blonde hair and her sharp features many contemplated if she was part Veela.
“Miss Waltham” Slughorn said again “I suppose you know Mr. Black?” I smiled and turned expecting to see Sirius’ carefree smile and characteristic smirk. My eyes fell instead upon the eyes of the person before me.
“Miss Waltham” he made a short courteous bow acknowledging me and straightened up. “Would you like to dance?” he offered his hand and I could only accept, to be polite. The liquid silver of those stormy grey eyes were so familiar to me now and yet my bones chilled as I gazed into the face of Regulus Black.
Regulus held my hand softly as he led me to the centre of the dance floor as if I was brittle and fragile. I was abnormally aware of every small movement I made and even more aware of how his eyes studied me as I avoided contact with them.
My hand rested on his shoulder while my other was trapped in his grip. His arm circled slowly along my waist making the hairs on the back of my neck stand up again. And we began to dance, revolving slowly to the music. Over his shoulder I saw Slughorn raise his glass to me, completely oblivious to the palpable tension between us. Fool.
I chanced a glance at Regulus. He continued to stare over my head. Regulus was handsome, there was no denying that. But he was still only a shadow of Sirius. Regulus had the same long hands and fingers as his brother, the same sharp jaw line, the same straight nose and the same liquid silver stormy eyes.
But these eyes were different. There was no life in them. They were unfathomable but depthless and cold. Something inside him was dead and it was reflected in his chaotic beautiful eyes. He was finally looking at me.
I hastily looked away from his gaze once more and stared over his shoulder. Jason was dancing with Abigail, a Ravenclaw friend of his. When our eyes met, he was surprised and happy to see me. His eyes then fell upon my partner and they became suddenly anxious. He silently questioned if I was alright, if he should intervene. I smiled at him and he nodded understanding I was fine.
Oh please. He’s just a boy. I can handle Regulus Black.
But it didn’t explain why I was so stiff and uncomfortable in his presence. I shook my head slightly.
Hey if I can handle big brother I can handle little brother any day! They are both birds of a feather.
“On the contrary, I’m nothing like my brother” Regulus’ voice spoke in my ear. A chill ran down my spine. I swallowed.
He’s listening to my thoughts.
I began to hyperventilate. I tried not to think of anything except staying in the room where my thoughts would only stay with the present, where I was safe and he couldn’t see anything the whole world could not.
But then I saw Sirius’ face. He paid no attention to his partner. His eyes were on us, watching, his face was livid and worried at the same time. I wanted to tell him I was alright. I wanted to tell him not to worry about me. But I couldn’t say the words.
Jason caught my eye again and again with one look he questioned me. Again I pacified him.
Regulus’ voice was quiet yet strong when he spoke again. “You’re failing at both your endeavours” he said. His breath made my skin crawl.
I ignored him not wanting to give him the satisfaction of making me curious. A wondered when the dance will end as we continued to turn to the music. I realised then that Regulus was smiling. This time I couldn’t catch myself fast enough.
“What amuses you so much?” I asked him without looking at him. He turned to look at me while I avoided his gaze.
“You forget” he said softly, “I already know how desperately you want to know what I meant”
I tried very hard not to swear in my head but I failed. He smiled lightly again as he read my thoughts. I was more of a sneer than a smile.
“You may think you are showing off by invading my privacy, but all you are really doing is showing my how low and pathetic you really are” I said evenly. His smile vanished, he was breathing harder and his grip on my hand tightened lightly. I held my breath wondering if I’d gone too far.
“Still does not change the fact that you’re lying to yourself and that the compromise isn’t worth it” he replied through pursed lips.
“Enlighten me, I’m breathless to hear your theory” I said sarcastically continuing to look over his shoulder.
“You’re a typical Gryffindor” he started.
“Fascinating, I had no idea”
“Typical Gryffindor, self-proclaimed hero who won’t use anyone or exploit anything to achieve what you so desperately want. Completely in denial that the world is unfair to its core and the only people who stand to get what is rightfully theirs are the people who squash the chances of it belonging to anyone else. You still live in a world where you think you have a chance to live if someone somewhere decides you shouldn’t. Brave, naive and dim-witted.”
With every word he said my blood boiled and my face became hot. I wanted to sink my heel into his foot.
“However” he continued and I breathed deeply to stay calm. “I wasn’t talking about your bravery. I was talking about your cowardice and your error of judgement.” More useless garbage, I thought. I was contemplating on pulling my hand free when he said the words that shocked me.
“While you cling to someone who is not a threat to your object of desire, he will have no motive to fight for you. And while he displays no desire to steal you away your compromise has no reason to indulge you.” I stared at Regulus’ face, wide eyed at his statement.
“You are not worth pursuing, to neither the one you desire nor the one you settled for.”
My eyes stung and I wrenched them away from his face and again looked over his shoulder at the crowd. The music stopped and the dancing couples came to a standstill.
On either side of Regulus, Sirius and Jason watched my face apprehensively.
As the depth of the words sank slowly into me my lip trembled and a lone tear slid down my cheek.
For the first time since the night I lay on the Quidditch grounds beside Sirius, I questioned myself again.
Once again I was lost, standing in the middle of crossroads.

North boys swimmers on sugar rush to state
Never underestimate the power of a Starburst.
They help feed appetite of the Bloomington North boys’ swim team, and in particular, its group of hyper-(friendly) competitive freestylers.
They were the fuel that helped the Cougars qualify a pair of free relays to the state finals, and the anchor, junior Jakob Mumper, to berths in both sprint frees in the preliminaries that will take place tonight at the IU Natatorium, starting at 5:30.
North assistant Dan Rogers started the tradition a few years ago and when Max Irwin took over for Dave Tanner two years ago, made sure the tradition stayed alive.
“Any time Dan shows up, you know it’s time to work,” North senior Antonio Hamilton said. “You see that door open and, ‘Oh, no, it’s Dan. He comes up to each one of us and tells us, ‘If you make this time on a sprint, I’ll give you a Starburst.’”
“Then it starts increasing. When we do 100s on the 201, it’s pretty intense. Anytime we meet a goal, every 100 past what we’re supposed to do, we get a Starburst. It’s bribery, but it’s precious. I got one and you didn’t. It’s definitely amazing what candy can do.”
No kidding. It’s a sugar rush to be sure.
Last year, Hamilton, seniors Garrett Williams and Jack Koceja and junior Jakob Mumper earned a call-up in the 200 free relay and were 23rd in 1:28.30. This year, they won a sectional title in a tidy state cut time of 1:27.44.
“It wasn’t that we just wanted to make it as we wanted to win,” Hamilton said. “We were called up, and we were thankful. But this year, we were set. We had all the same guys on the relay, so we knew we could make something happen.”
“Last year, they were awestruck,” Irwin said. “Now, they’ve been there before and they expected to be here. It was part of the plan, so they feel like they belong there.”
Hamilton, Sam Coffelt, Koceja and Mumper also won the 400 free relay sectional race and Mumper got state cuts in the 50 and 100 frees. Mumper is also on a mission individually. He was 17th in the 100 at state last year, by .01 no less, to miss the finals with a 47.16. He won sectionals this year in 46.92. But it is the relays the excitement they generate that really get him pumped.
“It’s not one person carrying the other three,” Mumper said. “It’s a definite group effort. We earned it. It’s something that a lot of people dream about and to be in that position is surreal.”
Having all that talent around to train with is almost as powerful as a Starburst.
“It’s nice to win and be good,” Williams said. “It’s a pretty elite group, really. The team is just awesome. Everyone supporting each other and we’re all pretty quick. It definitely pushes all of us with everyone being so fast.”
“They remind me of me when I swam,” Irwin said. “You saw a little bit of that last year, but not to the same extent. They want to compete and swim fast and it’s helped them improve so much more quickly.”
Coffelt, like Koceja, sees the best of both worlds, working with the sprinters and distance crew. At a typical meet, he does the 200 and 500 frees, then finishes up with a speedy 100 in the 400 relay.
“It’s kind of a jack-of-all-trades sort of thing,” he said. “I’m constantly doing something different in practice. The 100 is more a splash and dash, as we call it. for me, the 200 and 500, I love it, But the 400 free relay is what I love the most, because we come together as a team.”
Coffelt, too, loves Starburst, because it also connects the past with North’s future.
Just as Tanner introduced each North swimmer to his ingenious college coach, Doc Counsilman, so to has this senior class made sure those Cougars who never met Tanner (who has been given a terminal cancer diagnosis), get to know him as well. And Dave was there last Saturday, surely as proud as can be.
“To me, it meant everything,” Coffelt said. “Sectional would not have been the same without Dave being there. He’s more like a father than anything.
“We’ve told stories. We’ve kept Dave’s memory with the team alive, so the freshman who came in and the sophomores who have not gotten to know him can. We all know Doc even though we’ve never meet physically met him.”
And they also know the power of a Starburst.
“It’s not just because it’s a sweet treat, it’s also because you get it for accomplishing something,” Coffelt said. “Dan started that, so a lot of it is trying to do stuff for Dan. And in turn, we all met Dan through Dave. And doing our best to get the reward is kind of like doing it for Dave.
"That’s what’s driving us a lot. That’s why this year feels so different because we have not had him around so we want to do all the hard work to make Dave proud.”

Despite the summer heat, the varsity football team began the season practicing in early August. Games began August 13 under the leadership of Travis Bush, the new athletic director. Coach Bush also helped develop this year’s theme of “mob squad”.
“The mob squad symbolizes us like a family. Our quote is: five fingers, one fist, five players, one team. ” Said Austin Davisson, senior placekicker.
The players have responded well to Bush and appreciate his leadership.
“ [Coach Bush] Has an excellent coaching style, and a great offensive system,” junior offensive tackle Mason Timmermann said.
This year, the Cougars remained in the 5A classification, but District opponents changed slightly to include teams such as the Sequin and Alamo Heights.
“We got a tough district slate,” Bush said. “The hardest competition is us; eliminating mistakes and growing up.”
Competing in a tough district requires putting in the work to prepare for each game.
“Practice includes fast pace, (like a college practice), lots of physical activity, watching a lot of films, teaching character, leadership, and life basics.” Said Bush.
“The most challenging part of football season is lots of conditioning and overcoming adversity,” said Timmermann.
Like most sports teams, the football team has their own goals. Daniel Perez hopes to get defensive MVP while Micheal [Duce] Adams hopes to get first in the district. Coach Bush also has his goals specifically towards the team.
“Some goals I have for the team is to be in the playoffs, and compete for the championship.” He says.
Like all good athletes, the football players have someone they are inspired by and get their motivation from.
“My dad. He is a real hard worker, and has been all his life. That’s where I get my work ethic from,” said Perez.
Sophomore, Duke Nagay, a wide receiver on the team said, “Coach Bush inspires me a lot. He’s a great coach and all around person. I just want to try to be him when I grow up.”
Come in and support the Cougars at their home games every Friday! GO COOGS!

This month I'm participating in A to Z Challenge, where 100's of bloggers around the world challenge themselves to write every day for the month of April, working their way through the alphabet. I'm sewing a patchwork block for each letter of the alphabet. Each day I will share that block and a little about the block and direct you to where you can find a tutorial for that block on the Web.
Red Cross is a traditional quilt block, which has a number of variations on the same theme. There are also a lot of blocks that are called Red Cross which are very different from each other. Being the name of a famous organisation a number of blocks have been named in its honour (I presume). They are usually self descriptive, ie a block that has a red cross in it! The pattern I used came from Quilters Cache here .
I found one very similar to it on Jenny Beyer's website here. It used mitred corners in it (I avoid this particular technique as I haven't really mastered it)
This is mine. Just to be a rebel I didn't make it in red!

Nike's colordry process, in Guardian graphic form
Send this to a friend
You know how Nike’s new colordry process is supposed to be all green and revolutionary and game-changing?
You know the one, the process used at its new dyeing facility in Taipei that eliminates water and process chemicals from fabric dyeing?
Kind of makes one wonder how the technology works, no?
Luckily, the Guardian’s Sustainable Business pub has stepped up with a swell set of graphics describing how colordry, in six steps, has upped Nike’s game.
It’s a tad technical, replete with references to “supercritical fluid carbon dioxide,” but fun to look at and, for Nike, a good way to encourage the company’s apparel peers to manufacture goods cleanly and safely.

And it exists, thanks to Clementine Marchal, one of the most creative Parisiennes I know. She is a magician, everything she does is beautiful. I will definitely write more about her later since she is, among others, the brain behind a very trending blog in France.

Lucky us, Clementine has already shared some first impressions. You will see, Christmas will be light, bright, white and pastel colored.

Global Contactless Payment Card Shipments Surpass 2 Billion in 2021 – NFCW
According to figures published by the Smart Payment Association (SPA).
SPA reports that 269 million additional contactless cards and modules were shipped in 2021 compared to the previous year and that the percentage of cards with contactless functionality increased from 69% in 2020 to 59% in 2019 to reach 76% in 2021.
The figures also show that the number of eco cards shipped to issuers around the world has increased from 31 million in 2020 to almost 100 million in 2021.
“All regions showed year-on-year growth except for the US due to an anticipated ‘down cycle’ and China. Europe has been the fastest growing market and CISMEA has continued to grow from the record year of 2019,” says SPA.
“These figures confirm that the demand for secure payment cards continues to grow: SPA 2021 shipments are starting to recover compared to 2020, showing a growth of +5%.
“The SPA believes the numbers would have been higher had it not been for the chip shortage affecting the industry. SPA members have suffered from chip allocations preventing them from fully meeting customer demand.”
“Last year was again a challenge in itself. The ongoing pandemic has continued with strong and unpredictable global supply disruptions. Our whole industry has suffered from local blockages affecting the production and supply of chips, semi-finished products and cards, as well as associated air freight problems due to the drop in capacity”, adds the president of SPA, Andreas Strobel.
“On the other hand, our sector itself is showing strong resilience, in particular due to a growing demand for contactless cards, driven by increased consumer needs towards a preference for easy payment methods, without contact and secure.
“Overall, the numbers indicate an upward trend in shipments, attributed to this higher consumer demand for contactless cards.”

Slimming is often a huge problem for men and women. It is actually not so difficult. You only need to eat right to lose weight. After reviewing the main principles of healthy food and forming its own program for weight loss, you can cope with the extra pounds fast enough.
What is considered a normal weight person? Is a relative term. For someone is normal weight, in which the body comfortable. Someone adapts to modern stereotypes, trying to reduce your weight. Today, there are many formulas that allow us to determine normal body weight.
The most common of these is the formula of Broca:
NMT – normal body weight;
Height – the height in centimeters.
According to this simple equality is the weight of a person with height 160 cm can vary in the range of 51-66 kg And this is the norm. So if you want to lose weight should stick to these figures, not to bring the body to exhaustion.
To deal with methods of weight loss, you need to understand the reasons why there is excess weight. Pounds do not appear in one day. All this "wealth" is accumulated for months or even years. Leading modern nutritionists have proven to get rid of excess weight, you must listen very carefully to your own body.
The modern rhythm of life leads to the fact that we constantly eat on the run. Even if the body is well-fed, we're trying to cram into it something sweet. The most common problem are the techniques of food before bedtime. Thanks to all this the pounds gain slowly but surely.
You want to exclude:
For maximum result, in addition to getting rid of bad habits, reasonable diet. Using simple tips and some rules given below, you can quickly bring your weight to normal. So how to eat to lose weight?
The word diet of losing weight it seems that strict limits and bans. In fact proper nutrition has nothing to do with permanent restrictions. The diet is chosen in such a way that wanting to lose weight do not feel deprived. Objective of healthy nutrition is not an exception of any required products from the daily menu. On the contrary, to achieve good results, you need to balance it.
The following is a list of healthy foods that should always be present in your diet. In the menu of proper nutrition for weight loss should include:
The correct diet for weight loss will help to Orient and quickly to prepare delicious, healthy meals. These recipes will help satisfy your hunger without killing your body with empty calories.
There are many rules of proper nutrition, but the most important are considered to be six. To comply with the recommendations of nutritionists easy, the main thing is to immerse yourself in them.
The modern pace of life often does not allow you to eat more than twice a day. To weight left, need to eat at least 3 times a day. The first meal should take place not later than one hour after awakening. The Breakfast fills the body with the necessary energy for the whole day. Do not worry, because a hearty Breakfast is postponed centimeters at the waist. Whole food ingested at this time, digested very well, and at the same time gives extra deposits.
Best of all, if it is possible to increase the number of meals to 5-6. Thus, the body gets used that it is not plagued by hunger and ceases to postpone the inventory. In the result of normal digestion, stool and other problems with the gastrointestinal tract.
A quick snack on the go are one of the reasons of occurrence of excess weight. Breakfast and lunch eatery, the fast food outlets often do not take time more than 10 minutes. This is very bad for the digestive system.
Food need to be given time. A beautifully set table, new dishes, shiny flatware promotes proper digestion. Not during the meal to chat, watch TV, read a book. In this case, the brain is busy and time does not gives a signal about saturation. As a result, the amount of food eaten is more than the norm, and as a consequence heaviness in the stomach, nausea, bloating and other problems. If given the food enough time, it can be satisfied with far fewer.
Any food should be thoroughly chewed. In your mouth it should turn almost into a liquid state. To ease digestion and to enjoy the taste of food, you need to do at least 30 chewing movements for each small piece.
Menu of balanced diet for weight loss should necessarily include fresh fruit and vegetables. They are rich in fiber, which promotes normal digestion and a lot of other vital body elements. Fruits and vegetables are low in calories, which also promotes weight loss.
Many have noticed that as soon as evening comes and quickly departs to sleep, the hand she reaches for the candy and a pack of biscuits, even if the last meal was only hours ago. We must try to understand the cause of this behavior. It could be fatigue, resentment, or, conversely, the joy.
At this point you need to determine whether you visited the hunger or the blame for your emotional state. If it's emotion, you must learn to control them, and then no diet you will not be afraid.
Because the human body is nearly 80% water, it plays a very important role in the removal of harmful substances, toxins. The water balance must be maintained throughout the day. For this day you should drink 1.5-2 litres of purified carbonated water. If this is not done, the body will stand in the mode of accumulation of fluid, leading to edema.
Thus, the daily menu for those who wish to get rid of extra pounds, have to be balanced. While implementing the above rules are pretty easy to pick up diet for weight loss. First time, you can refer to the books or look for recipes on the Internet, but after you will learn how to select recipes for healthy, delicious and low-calorie dishes.
Healthy eating for weight loss begins with Breakfast. It is desirable that the meal menu was dominated by complex carbohydrates. It can be cereal porridge, wholemeal bread. In addition, you can add some protein products, and fruit or vegetables.
Now maybe this is what the Breakfast menu:
This is an equally important part of the daily diet. In between Breakfast and lunch, we starts to visit the hunger and the hand she reaches to what you have on hand – candy, cake, etc. These fast carbs you need to replace wholesome food:
At lunchtime you need to keep your body and set him on the right job. Dishes included in the menu should contain up to 50% of your daily calorie intake. Best if lunch will consist of two or three courses:
Afternoon snack may consist of fruit, berries or dairy products. You can eat apples, bananas, kiwi, mango, grapefruit. Also helps digestion at this time, low-fat yogurt or fermented baked milk.
The evening meal should contain 15% of daily calories. Therefore, it is not necessary to load the body fried or too fatty foods.
Each meal can be supplemented with some low-calorie and fortified with a drink. This may be a decoction of rose hips, herbal tea, unsweetened compote. In the intervals between meals should drink plain water without gas, about a glass 30 minutes before a meal. This diet for weight loss will give an opportunity already in the first week to lose 1-2 kg.
How to prepare diet meals? In fact, nothing complicated about it. To reduce the calorie content of menu and to increase the benefits of food during cooking you need to follow a few simple rules:
Below are some simple recipes for delicious and healthy meals. Their daily consumption contributes to more rapid weight loss.

The 2022 BAFTAs saw many red carpet looks, with velvet, vibrant colours, and tulle making an appearance. Several of the nominees wore tuxedos, while some opted for more daring looks.
Elsewhere on the red carpet, Rachel Zegler looked beautiful in a Vivienne Westwood blue bodice gown. She wore a pair of thigh-high boots, which she accessorized with Tiffany & Co jewels. On the other hand, Jourdan Dunn was spotted in a leopard print outfit. She also wore a voluminous cape.
Other nominees who attended the BAFTAs included: Andie MacDowell, who wore a bright blue corseted gown from the Vivienne Westwood collection; Catherine Edgar-Jones, who wore a black YSL strapless gown; and Jessie Buckley, who wore a one-shoulder black dress.


Democrat Pete Aguilar was considered a front-runner in California’s 31st Congressional District last year — until he failed to break into the top two in California’s “jungle” primary, eliminating him from contention.
Now, the 34-year-old Redlands mayor is returning for a second shot, hoping to turn his fate.
Democrats are itching to oust GOP Rep. Gary Miller, one of their biggest 2014 targets.
The party appears to be coalescing behind Aguilar. He has picked up nods from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and at least 12 House members over former Rep. Joe Baca, who is eyeing a comeback.
( 50 Politicos to Watch: Check out the full list)
Baca served in Congress for a decade until this year, losing his seat in a redrawn district. While he has more than two dozen endorsements from sitting House members, a handful of representatives and local leaders have rescinded their support, claiming they did not realize he had Democratic primary opponents.
In 2012, a divided Democratic field paved the way for two Republicans to advance to the general election — leaving the left without a candidate. But Aguilar says he learned from that and other experiences.
“I think the last seven years has helped to prepare me for this step,” Aguilar said, referring to his career as a Redlands City Council member and then mayor. “At its most basic level, it’s still about working to get things done.”
A third candidate, attorney Eloise Gomez Reyes, has the support of EMILY’s List. Local school board official Danny Tillman has also entered the race.
The district, which covers Rancho Cucamonga and San Bernardino, leans Democratic. About 49 percent of voters are Hispanic.
A second run gives Aguilar the advantage of an earlier, familiar campaign and more time to pit his record against Miller’s. Miller is reportedly considering running in the 45th District, a Republican safe zone, following GOP Rep. John Campbell’s retirement announcement.
Aguilar is touting his ability to balance local budgets and push forward infrastructure projects as a sign he can get things done even in a dysfunctional Congress.
“As a mayor, my focus has always been to solve problems,” he said. “I think the fundamentals are still the same. It’s still representing people, listening to constituents and citizens and voting on the policy that best represents this region.”

Deputy Prime Minister visits Notre Dame’s Fremantle Campus
The University of Notre Dame, Fremantle Campus
Deputy Prime Minister, The Hon Julia Gillard MP, visited The University of Notre Dame Australia’s Fremantle Campus to meet with the Vice Chancellor, Professor Celia Hammond. During her visit she viewed the site of the proposed new education building and the newly completed Information Technology (IT) Server Room and Data Centre located in St Teresa’s Library building.
The University received funding for the new IT facilities as part of the Federal Labor Government’s Better Universities Renewal Funding (BURF) which was announced in the 2008-09 Budget as a one off $500 million initiative of the Australian Government. Some capital funding was also received for the education building from the Commonwealth Department of Education’s Capital Development Pool.
This was Ms Gillard’s first visit to Notre Dame. Professor Hammond said that it was an important opportunity to discuss with the Minister where the University sat in relation to the Government’s education reforms that would see changes to tertiary education funding from 2012.

First Look at Emma Watson in Wallflower, Life After Harry Potter Interview
Posted 06.14.11 by Chris
After next month's Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 movie hits theaters, Emma Watson's role as Hermione Granger will be over, ending a 10-run as the character. But fans of Watson won't have to wait too long to see her again. The actress is already shooting a new movie, the dramatic comedy The Perks of Being a Wallflower, and graces the cover of the new Vogue.
The first photo of Emma on the The Perks of Being a Wallflower set has been released.The movie is based on the 1999 book of the same name by Stephen Chbosky, who is also directing the movie. Watson plays Sam, a college student and party girl who falls in love with the main character, Charlie, played by Logan Lerman. It was Lerman who posted the photo of Watson's face behind the Wallflower book from his Twitter account.
But unlike the Harry Potter books, the book this movie is based on is not for the entire family. The book deals with issues of issues of drug use, suicide, homosexuality, and the awkwardness of adolescence. But remember this isn't the Watson from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. Watson is now 21.The Perks of Being a Wallflower is expected for a 2012 release.
It's not a wallflower Watson in the new Vogue, which features Emma on the cover and in a very grownup photo spread. In the article, Watson talks about going from a seemingly normal girl plucked from obscurity to appear in one of the biggest franchises in movie history to becoming a confident young actress, demanding Warner Bros. accommodate her wishes to attend college while filming the last two movies.
I was Warner Bros.' pain in the butt. I was their scheduling conflict. I was the one who made life difficult.
Watson briefly attended Brown University, where despite rumors of taunting from other students (Brown said no one shouted out "Three points for Gryffindor" when she answered a question during class), Watson said she wanted "to be normal ... I really want anonymity." The article describes Watson going to class in flip flops and finishing papers at 4 a.m. She was able to find some solidarity in actor James Franco, who knows a thing or two about balancing the demands of being an actor and student at the same time.
It was such a relief to speak to someone who is trying to do the same thing I'm doing. I talked to him about juggling studying and making films and going backward and forward. He's not afraid or limited by what he fears people will say about it.
In addition to acting, life after Harry Potter includes modeling and fashion lines for Watson.

Today at lunchtime, Diego and I agreed to meet on site, to spend a little time with the yard, to hear what it had to say.
At the cafe, we bumped into Jess, who I seem to meet almost every time I come to the college. She’s very studious, which is commendable. Even more commendable is the fact that she’s at the college very regularly, and keen to get involved with the garden. So she came along with us for our first visit.
At the cafe, we met Betty, the totally charming cafe lady. VERY keen to take part is Betty. She says she feels terrible throwing away the food scraps from the kitchen, and so will be an immediate supplier of compostables for the garden. We beamed at each other while she told me about her backyard in Marrickville (she grows an abundance of sugarcane! or rather, it grows itself!) and she promised to bring in a multitude of herb cuttings to get us started. All of this before we had even greeted our yard.
We don’t know yet what will happen. On our current understanding, we have six months to get something rolling, working on a very part time basis. Our thinking right now is to tread lightly (rather than swoop in with something spectacular), to do a little each week and get some small results soon, allowing the yard to head in its own direction as it goes along. We don’t have total autonomy: especially in the early days, we’ll have to make sure the college is happy with our progress, but we hope that confidence and trust will be one of our early harvests.
Above, here, I’ve put today’s sketch – “the yard as it is now”.
Plenty of opportunity for rainwater harvesting from the corrugated iron rooftops; plenty of space, filled currently with ancient spongy kikuyu or buffalo lawn and flatweeds; plenty of sun, plenty of shade, depending which side of the courtyard you look at. There are some existing well-established trees – frangipani, palm trees mainly. There’s an old mercedes benz painted white; there is a “grass-farm” in the far corner, already being tended by artist Liz Day. There are cute old concrete paths cast in hexagonal shapes; there’s an art library next door. There are a few taps for fresh water on site.
And there’s a mouldy old shed in the corner!

Ragdoll cats can be particularly prone to developing ringworm, as their thick fur provides a warm and moist environment that is perfect for the fungus to grow. There are a few things you can do to help prevent ringworm in your Ragdoll cat.
What Is Ringworm?
Ringworm is a skin infection that is caused by a fungus. Ringworm, or dermatophytosis, is a skin infection caused by a fungus. The fungus feeds on keratin which is a protein found in skin, hair and nails.
Ringworm is not a parasite. The disease gets its name from the circular, ring-like appearance seen on the skin. The classic symptom of ringworm is patches of hair loss which appear as circular scaly areas with raised edges. These symptoms are fairly easy to spot.
What Are The Signs And Symptoms Of Ringworm?
The most common signs and symptoms of ringworm in ragdoll cats include redness, thick crusty skin, and itchiness.
Dry, flaky skin is the most common initial symptom of Ringworm. Infection areas can usually be found on the face, head, ears, tail and paws. You may also see bald areas on the legs and around the eyes.
The symptoms of cat ringworm include hair loss (or broken hair) in circular or elliptical patterns, hair loss in irregular patterns, scaly, bumpy skin with redness or inflammation, and possibly deformed claws. Some cats may scratch the affected areas excessively while others may experience little to no hair loss.
If your cat has a compromised immune system, its symptoms may become more serious. These can include red, sore lesions that may become infected. If you notice these signs in your cat, it’s important to take them to the vet as soon as possible so they can be treated.
How Do Cats Get Ringworm?
M Canis is a type of fungus that is found in nearly all cases of ringworm in cats. This fungus can be spread through contact with objects, such as bedding, grooming brushes, clippers etc or other animals that are infected. It can also be spread through the air, from a sick cat to other cats.
If you have kittens or cats under one-year-old in your home, it is always important to take precautions. Kittens are more susceptible to ringworm, and if they go outside they can easily come into contact with a contaminated object or another cat that has the disease. Kittens take a long time to build their immune system up, so in the meantime, they are more likely to get common diseases such as ringworm.
How Is Ringworm Treated?
There is no vaccine available for ringworm in cats, but treatment can often be successful if it is caught early. Treatment options include topical treatments (such as over-the-counter products or prescription creams) and oral antibiotics. If the fungus is advanced or if the cat has a compromised immune system, systemic treatments may be required. The healing process can take up to six weeks or more.
If you have a cat that has ringworm, you should always be careful when handling the cat and wear gloves. Ringworm is a contagious disease, so it’s important to take care when interacting with your pet. If your Ragdoll cat does contract Ringworm you’ll need to do a deep clean of your home as the fungus can live up to two years in carpet fibers so the infection could reoccur after treatment. Find out how to rid your home of Ringworm.
Keep your ragdoll cat healthy by following the guidelines in this article. If your cat experiences any signs or symptoms of ringworm, make sure to seek out medical attention.


The IRS has completed a draft revision of Form 990, the main document nonprofits file with the government. The redesigned tax form is expected to roll out in time for 2008 filings.
Proposed changes to the form are intended to increase transparency and accountabilityboth for the IRS and for donorsand to make filing simpler for nonprofits, according to the IRS website.
Ken Behr, president of the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA), said the IRS is also responding to the need for information on terrorist organizations' financing.
The new design expands the core form from eight pages to ten pages, and increases the number of supplementary charts from two pages to fifteen pages. Organizations' earning and spending information will be featured on a summary page in the new design.
The new form also requires a breakdown of executive compensation of more than $150,000. According to Charity Navigator, the average compensation for a charity CEO is $141,947.
Organizations like Charity Navigator, Guidestar, and Wall Watchers use the publicly available Form 990s to guide donors and evaluate nonprofits.
"Increased transparency is critical to maintaining the public trust on which nonprofit organizations depend to do their work in improving people's lives," said Diana Aviv, president and CEO of Independent Sector, a coalition of nonprofit organizations, in a statement.
However, Behr says that not all transparency is helpful. He is concerned about security for mission organizations. "The one issue that the ECFA continues to bring to the IRS's attention regarding the 990 is the redaction of information related to foreign activity, especially for ministries that are operating somewhat covertly, typically in Muslim lands. The government continues to want to have all of that stuff available to anybody."
Richard Hammar, senior editor of Church Law & Tax Report, said that many religious organizationsincluding almost all mission groupshave no reason to be concerned about the more detailed forms, because they are often exempt from filing Form 990s.
Churches, interchurch organizations, church-affiliated primary and secondary schools, and mission agencies do not have to file. However, nonprofit colleges and universities, nonprofit hospitals, charity organizations such as World Relief, and other Christian organizations must file annually.
Rusty Leonard, CEO of the watchdog group Wall Watchers, is enthusiastic about the changes. "There's no question that it was a step in the right direction," he said. "So three cheers for the IRS on this one. It was long overdue, but anything that increases transparency allows us as donor advocates to do our work for the average donor."

The national president of the PRI, Alejandro Moreno Cárdenas, “Alito”, managed to get the program of the governor of Campeche, Layda Sansores, called “Tuesday of the Jaguar”, stop broadcasting audios of your conversations with third partiesthanks to a court ruling.
The order was issued by the Sixteenth District Judge in Administrative Matters of Mexico City, Gabriel Regis López, granting an indefinite suspension to Alejandro Cárdenas so that the governor of Campeche refrains from broadcasting audios and images that threaten the ” dignity” of the PRI leader who has been exposed negotiating alleged bribes, orchestrating attacks against journalists and requesting money from businessmen for electoral campaigns.
According to the amparo file 938/2022, the appeal of “Alito” ichallenged the dissemination of audios, statements, demonstrations and comments referring to her person by the governor of Campeche, which he sent, published and disseminated through the official social networks of the government of Campeche, mainly the program that he broadcasts on the state television station, called “The Tuesday of the Jaguar”.
The argument of the imparter of justice is that the dissemination of the audios of “Alito” Moreno by Layda Sansores It is not part of her work as a state representative, in addition to the image and honor of the PRI leader being affected.
The complainant is granted the definitive suspension requested so that the responsible authorities refrain from disseminating information and making statements, statements or comments in relation to the complainant, whose nature is the same or similar to that of the acts claimed, unless they derive from the strict exercise of the powers that by constitutional and legal provisions that correspond to them to carry out, states the resolution.
The defense of “Alito” also requested to remove from the Internet the publications of the government of Campeche and Governor Layda Sansores that alluded to him for his statements in the aforementioned recordingsbut in this case the definitive suspension was denied, since the aforementioned publications had been previously eliminated.
The judge in the case clarified that the suspension only applies to the Campeche authorities and not to the media, so The right to freedom of expression or the right to information of individuals is not affected, who can still consult the material removed from official networks in other sources or information channels.
It is also clarified that the governor of Campeche and all her officials related to Social Communication or the state public radio and television, you can continue talking about “Alito” in your personal lifethat is to say, that the definitive suspension does not mean that the responsible authorities are prohibited from issuing their opinion in a strictly regarding the complainant due to the character of public figure that he holds, as long as they do so without using official means or channels of the government of Campeche.
The governor, Layda Sansores, can challenge said resolution, so again a court would have to intervene collegiate.
