Here’s some dog training tips every canine lover should know.
There is no denying the fact that dog training techniques allow one to have a well-trained dog. As a canine lover, a well-trained dog can provide a perfect mutual relationship and experience.
By nature, dogs are wired to easily accept commands provided by their owners. This happens when you treat the dog with a friendly approach during training. It is important to note that head pressing in dogs is a condition that indicates that the dog could have a mental illness, and may not respond to training effectively. Call a veterinary doctor in such a scenario.
Also, note that different breeds of dogs have a varied response to training. This is because varied species of dogs have different temperaments. As such, one should know about your breed.
Here are basic dog training tips for your canine
The core aspect in training lies within dog obedience training in a training command list. Training to obey is the first aspect in training dog techniques. When your dog becomes obedient it will learn both the simplest of skills and the most advanced ones. You don’t want an uphill task training a disobedient dog. It is recommended to start training your dog when it is still a puppy. That said, consider doing the following puppy training techniques:
- First, research has proven that the best time to start training is when the puppy is 3 to 4 months old. This is because this period is the optimum time when they train and learn much faster with ease.
- Second, in puppy training, give your puppy an easy name that has a strong consonant at the end. Names like: Jack, Tommy, Jasper, etc. Such names enable are clear for a dog to listen and internalize. Never yell at your dog. Always be friendly to it.
The next thing is to have a dog training command list. This is for teaching it the basic commands that you will frequently be using. The commands are as follows.
- Sit – When your dog learns this command, you will be able to handle it in any kind of situation. In doing so, you should have a treat in the form of a snack. Hold the treat above its nose and it will lower its body. Once it has sat, say the word ‘sit’ and reward it with the treat. Repeat this frequently in different days with different treats, so that it does not associate the command with one treat.
- Come – This dog obedience training command serves to bring your canine to your grip from any situation. Put a leash on it and pull it gently towards you as you repeat the command. Once it has come, reward it with the treat.
- Leave it – This is training for a dog aggression command which applies in case your dog is out of its leash and curiosity has overwhelmed it. Have a treat in both hands. Close one hand in a way it can note it, then present it. It will try to lick, paw and sniff it. Once it is doing that, say ‘leave it’. When it gives up, reward it with the treat with the other hand. Repeat the concept with different things until it masters the command.
The other tip in dog training classes relates to toilet. This is important so that you don’t have a hectic and stressful moment cleaning your house, compound or the car. Follow the following procedure to train your dog on toilet.
- Ensure that apart from when training, the dog should have a fixed schedule for meals. No snacking in between.
- Confine the canine in a small area at first so that it can understand the game when it is young. Keep increasing its freedom with time as it learns.
- Take it out for a potty break and give it plenty of time to relieve itself.
- Lastly, re dog training tips, take it out every morning to one spot to relieve. It will get used to the scent and then understand the game.
For your dog to reciprocate with the dog training tips and become more connected to you, be consistent on all the above guidelines. It will learn these fundamental basics with much ease and spirit if you maintain friendliness and patience. The process will take time depending on the ability of your dog to learn.

While the main purpose of a trailer is to tease scenes from an upcoming movie (some of which might not even make the final cut), it's also important to set the right tone. Music helps out a lot with this, and if the wrong song or composed piece is chosen, it can bring down the quality of the trailer. Such was the case with Murder on the Orient Express, which released its first trailer yesterday and had "Believer" from Imagine Dragons playing at the end. That was a jarring choice for a 1930s-set murder mystery, but it could have been a lot worse, as evidenced by this video of weirder songs that play at the end of the preview.
Put together by YouTuber TeamQuabs, this amusing Murder on the Orient Express video starts as Willem Dafoe's character, Gerhard Hardman, asks Hercule Poirot who he is. After Kenneth Branagh's mustachioed character establishes himself to both the train occupants and the audience, then we hear the substituted songs. While "Believer" is perhaps the most ill-fitting song for a trailer since Kanye West's "I Am a God" was blasted in the Assassin's Creed trailer, these other songs are significantly more inappropriate for Murder on the Orient Express' vibe. Kicking off with "X Gon' Give It To Ya" (I can't help but think of Deadpool now when I hear it), the video cycles across the musical spectrum each time Poirot introduces himself, from country tunes to heavy metal. "My Name Is" is the last song played, and it's definitely an instance of the best being saved for last. Because unlike the others, it cuts off Poirot before he can say his name, thus presenting himself as Slim Shady.
As the second Murder on the Orient Express theatrical movie and the most recent English-language adaptation since the TV series Agatha Christie's Poirot took a stab at it in 2010, Kenneth Branagh's re-telling of Agatha Christie's 1934 novel had to take extra care to stand out from what's come before. Judging by the trailer, he's accomplished that by retaining the classic elements of the story and infused it with some modern flair. Nevertheless, choosing an Imagine Dragons song to play at the end of the trailer wasn't the great decision, but hey, at least we got these hilarious alternatives as a result. And now I'm surprisingly curious to see what Kenneth Branagh lip-syncing Eminem on Lip Sync Battle would look like.
Like the original book, Kennth Branagh's Murder on the Orient Express will follow Hercule Poirot trying to solve a murder aboard a stalled train, requiring him to interview more than a dozen suspects. Along with Branagh and Willem Dafoe, the main cast includes Johnny Depp, Michell Pfeiffer, Judi Dench, Josh Gad, Penelope Cruz, Daisy Ridley, Derek Jacobi, Olivia Colman and Leslie Odom Jr.
Murder on the Orient Express will be released in theaters on November 10.

President Donald Trump has lashed out at the US intelligence community and media after new reports of contacts between members of his team and Russia.
Mr Trump accused the National Security Agency (NSA) and FBI of giving out information illegally.
Some US media say top Trump aides were in constant communication with Russian officials in the election campaign.
Intelligence officials previously said they believed Russia tried to influence the vote in favour of Mr Trump.
Moscow has dismissed the claim, with Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov saying on Wednesday that the latest reports of contacts with Trump aides were "not based on any facts".
On Thursday Rex Tillerson is due for his first meeting as US secretary of state with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, at a G20 gathering in the German city of Bonn.
The latest allegations look set to reignite tensions between the president and his own intelligence services, which flared during the 2016 election campaign, says BBC Washington correspondent Gary O'Donoghue.
They come a day after National Security Adviser Michael Flynn resigned amid a row over reports he discussed US sanctions by phone with a Russian diplomat before Mr Trump took office.
Leading Republicans have joined calls for a wide investigation into Mr Flynn's links with Russia.
And on Wednesday Adam Schiff, a Democrat on the House of Representatives Intelligence Committee, said he would push for the committee's investigations into Russian hacking to be expanded to include Mr Flynn's phone calls, Reuters news agency reported.
The FBI and a Senate committee are also investigating the claims.
Mr Trump appeared to attack the NSA and the FBI for what he described as leaks to the media about the contacts.
"Information is being illegally given to the failing @nytimes & @washingtonpost by the intelligence community (NSA and FBI?)," he tweeted.
More on the Flynn scandal
But in another tweet he suggested that the reports were "non-sense" produced by his Democratic opponents.
"This Russian connection non-sense is merely an attempt to cover-up the many mistakes made in Hillary Clinton's losing campaign."
The tweets came after the New York Times quoted unnamed former and current officials as saying that the communications were intercepted as evidence of Russian hacking of the Democratic National Committee was coming to light. Other media have since corroborated the reports.
The intercepted communications were said to be between Trump campaign officials and other associates on the one hand, and Russian intelligence and government officials on the other.
However, the officials interviewed by the Times said they had seen no evidence of the Trump team colluding in the hacking.
Mr Flynn and Mr Trump's former campaign manager, Paul Manafort, were said to be among those mentioned by the officials.
Mr Manafort told the newspaper: "I have never knowingly spoken to Russian intelligence officers, and I have never been involved with anything to do with the Russian government or the Putin administration or any other issues under investigation today.
"It's not like these people wear badges that say: 'I'm a Russian intelligence officer.'"
Mr Manafort and former Trump foreign policy aide Carter Page both left the campaign after reports emerged of their close links with Russia.

Quick Links to Other Best Mattresses:


For a city that does not seem to have a particularly feisty nightlife at first sight, Paris has an astounding assortment of bars. There are cafes galore, of course, but a cafe is not necessarily a bar. Though both serve alcoholic beverages, cafes offer a laid-back place to sip at any time of day or night, whereas anything that calls itself a bar usually has an edgier feel and gets going after dark. Two recent developments may be responsible for the per-capital barstool increase: First, France has finally discovered cocktails and is putting its culinary talent to work behind the bar. Second, there is a new fondness for beer, a beverage that has often been treated with scorn and dismay in this wine-drinking country. Artisanal brewpubs are cropping up all around town. Bars, be they beer-, wine-, or cocktail-oriented, generally stay open until around 2am.
Wine fans can lose their heads in this city, not because they drink too much, but because Paris has so many tempting wine bars to choose from. Not only can you sample all sorts of delightful fruits of the vine at a bar à vin, but you can usually nibble something salty and delicious (generally cheese or charcuterie) to complement what’s in the glass.
Over the last few years, Paris has become a mixology powerhouse, with streams of fabulous cocktail bars opening in all sorts of places across town, from speakeasies hidden behind unmarked doors to tapas joints where cocktails steal the show from the wine. Hotel bars are some of the loveliest spots for cocktails too, especially the palaces where each drink (albeit expensive—around 26€) comes with free nibbles. Elsewhere expect to pay between 10€ and 15€.

Artist:Various including Joe Bussard, Tennessee Mess Arounders, Jolly Joe’s Jug Band and Blind Thomas
Title: Fonotone Records, Frederick, Maryland
Label: Dust to Digital
Designer: Art, direction and design: Henry H. Owings, Chunklet Graphic Control, hue, tint and brightness: Susan Archie, World of Archie
Type of music: Bluegrass, backwoods country
Notes: I was very happy to receive this as a review copy a few years back – quite apart from the music, it comes with a bottle opener! Fonotone Records was the last label to release 78s (not sure whether that’s worldwide or just in the States). The label was run by the inimitable Joe Bussard, avid/infamous record collector. This is a classic reissue, the cigar box containing treasures like a whole wad of postcards, record labels, a big book overflowing with details, pics, etc and of course the aforesaid bottle opener. Not forgetting the five CDs.
Oh and anyone who knows who the star was behind Blind Thomas gets a gold star. I’ll give you a hint in case you’ve no idea – he’s been featured before here in the early days of Hard Format. Answer’s at the bottom of this post…
The tone of the notes is playful and affectionate throughout:
I climbed the brick steps of a visitor centre and made my initial enquiries. Behind the counter stood two elderly matrons of the town, Luella and Darlene. At first they serenaded me with well practiced “Welcome to Frederick” greetings, but upon my mentioning the name Fonotone, their singsong chatter stopped, and their faces underwent a transformation into twin visages of what William Burroughs once described as “the mean, pinched, bitter evil faces of decent church goin’ women.”
Fonotone Records: for the best in old time playing and singing…
Blind Thomas was the one and only John Fahey and Fonotone released his first recordings.

Is Biopharma Ready for the Standards Wars?
38 Pages Posted: 1 Apr 2020 Last revised: 11 Feb 2021
Date Written: March 7, 2020
This symposium contribution sheds new light on Momenta v. Amphastar, a recent federal case in which issues relating to standardization and patent disclosure that have previously been observed in the semiconductor, computing and telecommunications sectors found their way into a dispute between two biosimilar manufacturers. One such manufacturer, Momenta, participated in the development of a standard for testing the purity of generic enoxaparin under the auspices of the United States Pharmacopeial Convention, but failed to disclose that it had applied for a patent on the testing method. When Momenta later sued Amphastar for infringement based on its use of that testing method, Amphastar raised defenses of waiver and equitable estoppel, then brought antitrust claims against Momenta and its distribution partner Sandoz. Amphastar prevailed at the district court on all three theories, obtaining a ruling that Momenta's patent was unenforceable. This case demonstrates that issues surrounding the acquisition and disclosure of patents on standardized technologies have more salience in the biopharma sector than commonly believed. As such, standards organizations operating in this sector should ensure that their policies and procedures are robust enough to delineate clearly the obligations of participants with respect to patents covering standardized technologies, and organizations that participate in biopharma standards-development should heed the valuable lessons offered by more than three decades of litigation and policy making in the technology sector.

Dear Abby: I’m convinced my father’s wife killed him and I don’t know where to turn. He had fought complications from quadruple bypass surgery for a few years, and had been in hospice for months prior to his death. My siblings and I didn’t put all the pieces together until afterward.
Although I’m sure Dad was killed, based on facts and discussions with social workers, I’m pretty sure it was assisted suicide, which is illegal in most states, including the state where he lived. I feel cheated and angry at my father’s wife for not having the guts to talk to us about his plans, and Dad for relying on her to tell us when she never had a good relationship with any of us. I’m also angry with myself for not stopping what I witnessed as it happened before my eyes. How could I have been so blind?
It has been several years now, and I still feel guilty for letting it happen, although I’m not sure how I could have stopped it. Your thoughts would be appreciated.
– Angry Son in Georgia
Dear Angry Son: I’m sorry for your pain and anger, emotions that are not uncommon when a loved one dies. But for your own sake, accept that if your father had an advance health care directive, and trusted his wife to carry it out, then she was following his wishes. While today’s medical interventions can prolong someone’s life, they can also prolong death.
Hospice offers grief counseling for family members for a period of time after a death occurs, and you and your siblings should have received some.

Be assertive with therapist
Dear Abby: I have been in therapy for four years. I like my therapist, who has helped me immensely. However, over the past year she has become increasingly tardy in keeping her appointment times.
I understand there are sometimes emergencies, but being a half-hour late every week is excessive. I feel it is disrespectful to me. She keeps saying I just don’t understand.
How can I get across to her how frustrated I am? Or do I need to find a new therapist?
– By The Clock in Connecticut
Dear By The Clock: Tell your therapist exactly how this is affecting you and ask what HER problem is. She owes you an explanation.
I agree that being late for your appointment is disrespectful if it happens regularly. You may need to find another therapist. If that’s the case, be sure to tell her why you are leaving. It takes courage to be assertive, but it will help you in your personal growth.

The casein-pectin conjugate was prepared by Maillard reaction, and the effects of pectin on the structural and functional properties of casein was investigated. The optimum process for casein-pectin conjugate was determined by combining response surfaces with single factors taking the grafting degree and browning index as the response values. Flaxseed oil microencapsulation was prepared using casein-pectin conjugate as wall materials. The results showed the optimum process conditions were casein-pectin mass ratio 3∶1, heating time 1.5h, and heating temperature 90℃. The grafting degree of casein-pectin conjugate were 37.06%±0.80% and the browning index was 1.05±0.014. The determination results of secondary structure showed that the α-helixes, β-sheets, and β-turns contents of casein-pectin conjugate was decreased by 26.39%, 9.21%, and 2.23%, respectively, while the random curl content was increased by 12.43%, compared with casein. The functional properties (solubility, emulsification, thermal stability and antioxidant activity) of casein-pectin conjugate were significantly improved compared with casein. Flaxseed oil microencapsulation was prepared by spray drying using casein-pectin conjugate as the wall material and flaxseed oil as the core material. The results showed that the maximum encapsulation efficiency (77.06%±0.98%) was reached at mass ratio of 1∶1 between casein-pectin conjugate and flaxseed oil, and the microencapsulation had a complete spherical structure without fragmentation. In addition, the peroxidation value of free flaxseed oil was (14.70±0.51) meq/kg after stored at 25℃ for 28d, the peroxidation value microencapsulated flaxseed oil was only (3.82±0.07) meq/kg, indicating that the antioxidant activity of flaxseed oil was significantly improved by casein-pectin conjugate. This study aimed to provide a scientific basis for the application of casein in food industry.

So you've decided to go vegan. It might be that you find the ideology or the health aspects right for you, and are looking for a simple, sane way to weather the change. Or you tried to go vegan once before, and found yourself struggling with lack of knowledge, perseverance or ideas. Or like me you decided to turn your kitchen for a vegan live-in loved one.
I guess you've already found out that the vegan way of life comes with its own set of obstacles and challenges. It's been my experience, in turning my kitchen vegan for my wife, and from that of many fledgling vegans encountered along this way, that the greatest challenge in being vegan is maintaining a daily routine of meal planning, shopping for groceries and preparing everyday meals.
The hardest part of being vegan is making it last
I have heard less frustration expressed about the absence of animal products in vegan food, than from the "deciding what's for dinner" issue. Handling the routine of daily meals – planning, shopping and cooking – is thought of as a burden and the main issue confronting nubile vegans as they set on the vegan lifestyle.
The daily routine's weakest link usually snaps when there is little time to cook and the hunger is at its peak. When the cycle of: making a shopping list - doing the shopping run - stocking the pantry - consuming what we bought, is at its end. And you're standing in the middle of the kitchen thinking: Vegan?! What was I thinking?!
Now try it in an inter-dietary household, with a container full of meatballs in red sauce in the fridge, leftovers from yesterday's dinner, or eggs ready to be fried, or cheese that you can marry in seconds with some macaroni... This is the time when the vegan way of life is really challenged. It then becomes almost impossible to resist the temptation to fall back on old habits, that as second nature don't require any attention at all.
And here's what doesn’t change
The simple truth is: What's needed to keep a daily routine, goes on being just as much of a day-to-day hassle as it was before, no more no less. You had to make your own food before, and will continue to do exactly so when cooking vegan.
Deciding what's for dinner, making sure your pantry is properly stocked, and cooking – is exactly the same process you had to undergo when you were non-vegan. Don't expect THAT to change.
Kitchen work also continues mostly uninterrupted: I still use my existing kitchenware and employ many of the techniques learnt preparing non-vegan food – if you can use a knife and a cutting board without losing fingers, it makes little difference if what you prepare is vegan or not.
Most of the ingredients in my pantry are old acquaintances – You really don't need to go foraging or use ingredients with names you're not sure how to pronounce.
So, what DOES change?
Your go-to dishes
The variety of foods
Your shopping list
Giving up animal products, one of the most basic elements in your former diet, means replacing many of your daily go-to dishes (i.e. quick and easy recipes made with ingredients you always stock in your pantry), and coming up with new ones. It's important that you acknowledge and expect this change. In the beginning, you might find yourself not knowing what food to prepare, and that's totally reasonable.
There are no shortcuts here. You'll have to go through a period of exploration and experimentation until you reestablish your list of go-to dishes to populate the routine of daily meals.
I too had to overcome "too tired to cook" nights, with new vegan go-to dishes –
I found new ways of preparing main dishes from ingredients i kept until then only for making side dishes. And I recount many other insights, revelations, ideas, thoughts and anecdotes about how i make sure cooking vegan is no more of a hassle than the non-vegan kind.
What does it take?
The willingness to do it, for you or a live-in loved one
The patience to learn
The creativity you already have
But most of all, it takes a stocked pantry.
You need the right pantry to have a leg to stand on
While the "what to make" part will probably require a period of exploration and learning, until you find your new favorite vegan go-to dishes and make them as familiar as second nature, it is essential that your pantry is always ALWAYS suitably stocked, starting tomorrow. Starting today.
It's not as if you didn't keep an eye on your pantry thus far – you did and you'll keep on doing so – it's just that from now on you'll have to make sure it's stocked with a different set of ingredients, the ones that support a vegan kitchen.
This means changes to your shopping list, and that's it.
No extra hassle or over thinking, just keeping your pantry ready for vegan cooking, as it was ready for non-vegan cooking before.
With your pantry vegan, and after a short period of exploring, you'll always have at hand everything it takes to prepare something delicious and satiating on the spot.
If you do that – all the rest can smoothly follow.

One of the nifty features of TypePad is the option to “post to the future.” In other words, you can set your post to be published at a future date. Why would you do that, you might well ask?
Well, there are several reasons. First, let’s say you are going on vacation and you want to have some stuff appear on your website while you are gone. Or maybe you have an announcement to make on a particular date and you know what you want to say in advance.
Maybe you your post to be published at a certain time of the day. What’s that, you say? You can set the time too? Yep, that’s right.

The first line of defence when bugs attack plants is often synthetic pesticides or insecticides.
But an international team conducting research in Thailand and other southeast Asian countries has documented an alternative way to counter-attack killer bugs: unleashing wasps.
Brock University biologist Liette Vasseur was part of the research team, led by Kris Wyckhuys, an agro-ecologist at Australia’s University of Queensland and the China Academy of Agricultural Sciences.
The cassava plant is at the centre of a study conducted by an international research team that includes Brock biologist Liette Vasseur.
The team examined the impacts of Phenacoccus manihoti, a type of mealybug that attacks cassava plants, on Southeast Asia’s crop production of the root vegetable.
After invading Thailand in 2008, the pest quickly spread and destroyed the cassava plants, resulting in an almost 30 per cent decrease in Thailand’s cassava crops and a 162 per cent increase in the price of starches like cassava.
The same happened gradually in Cambodia, Vietnam and Myanmar. To solve the problem, farmers in all these countries cut down forests to make room for more cassava fields, leading to high levels of deforestation.
The study examined the impact of introducing a type of wasp called Anagyrus lopezi (Hymenoptera).
“The introduction of the wasp really helped control the population of the mealybug,” says Vasseur. “Having better yields reduced the pressure on farmers to clear forests to add more land for cassava production.”
Once the cassava crops were reinstated, deforestation rates in Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam and Myanmar dropped anywhere from 31 to 95 per cent, because farmers no longer needed to clear the land for the cassava crops.
“With reduced damage, prices increased again making agriculture more sustainable,” says Vasseur.
This case study, she says, illustrates a successful biological control program.
“This is a great example of how, by using nature, we can help enhance agroecosystem sustainability,” says Vasseur.
“It is very often cheaper and more effective in the long term since most pests become resistant to synthetic pesticides.”
The researchers’ findings are in their recently published paper, Biological control of an agricultural pest protects tropical forests.

The large anti-submarine ship of the Northern Fleet “Severomorsk”, solving the problems of a long voyage in the Arctic, headed from the shores of the Franz Josef Land archipelago, where he recently conducted a joint exercise with the border patrol ship “Polar Star”, to the southwest.
The forces and assets of the Northern Fleet continue measures to control the activities of the ships of the NATO Joint Naval Forces (OVMS) in the northeastern regions of the Atlantic.
Earlier, a number of NATO OVMS ships showed an increased interest in the ships of the Northern Fleet that participated in the Main Naval Parade in St. Petersburg and Kronstadt, at the stage of moving to permanent basing points.
The large anti-submarine ship Severomorsk is currently overseeing the NATO Naval Forces involved in a joint unscheduled air defense exercise in the northeastern part of the Norwegian Sea.
The US Navy destroyer Orly Burke also participates in this exercise, which made the transition from August 10 to 16 from the deployment base of Rota (Spain) to the waters of the Norwegian Sea.
The next Arctic cruise of the large anti-submarine ship Severomorsk began on August 10 and is taking place as part of a set of measures aimed at protecting the interests of the Russian Federation in the Arctic. It is planned that the trip will last about two months and will pass through the seas of the Arctic Ocean, including in the areas of the Northern Sea Route.
The Severomorsk will take part in several exercises to defend the island and continental territories of Russia in the Arctic, as well as to ensure the safety of maritime navigation and other types of maritime economic activities of the Russian Federation in the Arctic zone.

Abdulrahman Taieb, April. 9, 2013 History paper: Abina Abina's Life A young slave girl called Abina Mansah lived in the British Gold Coast Colony (now Ghana) in 1876. She was born in Asante/Ashanti. Abina had been captured in Asante area, and enslaved in two houses in Asante, the first one was in the capital city of Coomassie at Eddoo Buffo's home and the second one in Asante territory of Adansi20. Abina's life events did not happen by accident. Everyone's life shaped by things or people around us for exmaple family, friends, and culture. Sometimes these things around us force us to shape our life and the way we are. Abina's life was shaped by some forces. Although there are many forces that shaped Abina's life, the most important two are slavery and imperialism. Slavery is an important force that shaped Abina's life. Africa had already an existing system of slave trade, before the European arrival, flowing across the Sahara to North Africa and Egypt to the red sea and Swahili coast of East Africa. Europeans got their slaves from African slaving networks. Some of the slaves went north to east Muslim or Hindu shippers. The demand for slaves in America rose because of the plantation agriculture began to spread. As a result, more and more slaves were sent to Africa's west Coast. Twelve and a half million African slaves shipped to Atlantic ports from 1525(the date of first trip from Africa to the Americas) to 1867) (when the last trip took place) ( WTWA, 495). Moving many Africans to the Americas, the slave trade resulted losses of sex ratios in both places because most of the slaves who
shipped to the Americas were adult males. The Europeans preferred male labors; however they desired female slaves primarily for household work and produce for slave-children. Abina was a slave and that’s one of the important forces that shaped her life. Abina was a slave in her youth (Abina,6). That means she did not live her childhood. She worked and cooked for people; while she...

My family and friends have been touched by Breast Cancer. My grandma is a survivor and so are 2 close family friends.
When she first asked me I immediately thought of my Thirty One Gifts business. I mean how perfect Thirty-One Gifts, 31 days, and the colors of Thirty-One are hot pink! While my focus lately has been drawn elsewhere, namely my blog. I still love the product and the message. The bag below I had created to remind me why I joined Thirty-One, and now. $1 from the purchase of each bag is donated to women’s and girl’s organizations.
So what’s my why? Why do I blog? It started with this guy below. I didn’t want to miss one moment of his childhood. I didn’t want to forget and I wanted to be present. I love his imagination and I love that he can totally pull off pink fairy wings with a sequined mask and rock star accessories. He provides our family with lots of laughter and joy.

The constitutionality of President Barak Obama’s recess appointments will likely appear before the U.S. Supreme Court. However, there is a strong chance that the Court will determine that the controversy in a nonjusticiable political question.
Although the government failed to argue that the court lacked jurisdiction, the issue is unlikely to escape Chief Justice John Roberts. He has made it perfectly clear that his Court will not be an “activist” court that delves into political affairs.
In addition to relying on the seminal case of Marbury v. Madison, the justices will likely also look to Goldwater v. Carter, in which several members of Congress challenged President Jimmy Carter’s power to nullify a defense treaty.
The Facts of the Case
In 1979, President Carter terminated a defense treaty with Taiwan without notifying the Senate. Senator Barry Goldwater and several other members of the Senate filed a lawsuit, challenging the constitutionality of the action. They argued that the President exceeded his powers under the U.S. Constitution by unilaterally terminating the treaty without the advice and consent of the United States Senate or the approval of both houses of Congress.

Description: The MP6-XT22 antibody reacts with mouse tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF alpha), a 17 kDa cytokine produced by monocytes, macrophages, neutrophils, NK cells and CD4(+) T cells. TNF alpha has cytolytic activity against a range of tumor cells and is important in immune regulation. TNF alpha forms dimers and trimers and also exists as a 26 kDa membrane-bound form.
Applications Reported: This MP6-XT22 antibody has been reported for use in intracellular staining followed by flow cytometric analysis.
Applications Tested: This MP6-XT22 antibody has been tested by intracellular staining followed by flow cytometric analysis of stimulated mouse splenocytes using the Intracellular Fixation & Permeabilization Buffer Set (Product # 88-8824-00) and protocol. Please refer to "Staining Intracellular Antigens for Flow Cytometry, Protocol A: Two step protocol for intracellular (cytoplasmic) proteins" located at Flow Protocols. This may be used at less than or equal to 0.25 µg per test. A test is defined as the amount (µg) of antibody that will stain a cell sample in a final volume of 100 µL. Cell number should be determined empirically but can range from 10^5 to 10^8 cells/test. It is recommended that the antibody be carefully titrated for optimal performance in the assay of interest.
Alexa Fluor 660 emits at 690 nm and is intended for use on spectral cytometers where it may be multiplexed with APC, Alexa Fluor 647 and Alexa Fluor 700.
Excitation: 662 nm; Emission: 690 nm; Laser: Red Laser
TNF alpha is a multifunctional proinflammatory cytokine that belongs to the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) superfamily. This cytokine is mainly secreted by macrophage and bind to its receptors, TNFRSF1A/TNFR1 and TNFRSF1B/TNFBR. TNF alpha is involved in the regulation of immune cells, cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, lipid metabolism, and coagulation. TNF alpha exists as a multimer of two, three, or five noncovalently linked units, but shows a single 17 kDa band following SDS-PAGE under non-reducing conditions. Knockout studies in mice also suggested the neuroprotective function of TNF alpha, and has been observed to causes tumor necrosis when injected into tumor-bearing mice. Other functions of TNF-alpha include its role in the immune response to bacterial, viral, parasitic and certain fungal infections, as well as its role in the necrosis of specific tumors. TNF alpha causes cytolysis or cytostasis of certain transformed cells, being synergistic with interferon-gamma in its cytotoxicity. This cytokine has been implicated in a variety of diseases, including autoimmune diseases, insulin resistance, and cancer.

This recipe can be easily adjusted to make different flavours and variations including lemon, blueberry and coconut & mango.
- 100g unsalted butter, melted
- 125g icing sugar
- 3 medium egg whites or 150ml pasteurised egg white
- 25g plain flour
- 85g ground almonds
- Generously butter two 12 hole mini muffin tins – you will get 24 out of this recipe.
- Melt the butter and set aside to cool.
- Sift the icing sugar and flour into a bowl, add the almonds and mix well.
- Whisk the egg whites in another bowl until they form a light, floppy foam. Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients, tip in the egg whites , then lightly stir in the butter to form a soft batter. Add any flavourings at this stage.
- Divide the batter between the tins, filling to no more than 2/3 full and bake for 15-20 minutes until just firm to the touch and golden brown.
- Cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then turn out careful onto a cooling rack. Dust lightly with icing sugar to serve.
Lemon – add the zest of a lemon or a teaspoon of lemon extract. Try other citrus flavours like orange and lime.
Blueberry – push in a single blueberry into the top of the cake before baking. This also works with raspberries, blackberries, mixed summer berries etc.
Lemon Curd – pipe in a small amount of lemon curd into the centre before baking.
Coconut and Mango – replace half the ground almonds with desiccated coconut and push in small cubed pieces of mango before baking.

Captiva Document Imaging Solutions For Medical RecordsSource: EMC Corporation
As healthcare organizations implement electronic medical records,clinicians meed to quickly access accurate patient history for a complete patient view, yet many components of the medical record remain on paper.
As healthcare organizations implement electronic medical records (EMR), clinicians meed to quickly access accurate patient history for a complete patient view, yet many components of the medical record remain on paper. Many healthcare providers still maintain processes that require the manual handling of paper doucments with clinicians spending valuable time chasing lost or missing documentation. And many of these documents are also misplaced as patients are required to fax or transport their own x-rays and other medical documents from one department to another or from a physician's remote office to a hospital location. Additionally, many hospitals conduct quality assurance reviews at the end of the workflow process and may identify lost or missing information after it is too late to impact the patient care diagnosis.
The transition from a system of paper records to a system of electronic health records (EHR) takes detailed planning, and it must be supported by the right technology to minimize potential disruptions to the patient care delivery workflow. To integrate existing paper records, healthcare organizations need to prepare and scan existing patient files, maintain the accuracy and completeness of each file, and index each file for prompt retrieval. Next, they need to deliver all of the captured documents in a compatiable file format and provide secure document management, retrieval, and storage.


Milind Soman and his wife, Ankita Konwar are setting the internet on fire with their holiday pictures and we can’t get enough of them.
The couple, who were recently holidaying in Maldives, took to Instagram to post multiple pictures of them chilling amid the serene waters.
Ankita took to Instagram to share a picture of the couple chilling on the beach. In the picture, the couple can be seen sitting together, holding a green umbrella.
For the stunning picture, Ankita donned a short blush pink kimono and Milind wore a blue shirt over shorts.
She shared the picture with the caption, "Life gives you special moments, especially those that involve the beach."
For another picture, the couple can be seen enjoying on the deck. Ankita donned a breezy floral pink dress and Milind wore a blue tee with grey shorts in the picture.
Ankita also shared a video of the couple enjoying on a tiny island and we are in awe.
Take a look:
Had a lovely evening on this sand bank, which of course always changes it’s shape and size and was right next to our resort Yes we are the tiny ant like creatures there Swipe left for the sunset . . . #foreveryouandi #crazylove #beachlover #instatravel #travelgram #sunsets
Milind had also shared pictures from the holiday, doing a headstand and we are definitely not complaining.
This is not the first time that the couple has given us an insight into their life. Both of them constantly share images of them running with picturesque backgrounds.
Milind Soman tied the knot with Ankita Konwar on 22 April 2018 in Alibaug.

By Roger Gitliin – EYE ON DEL NORTE – February 2, 2022
The Crescent City Harbor District met in public meeting, Feb. 1.
Allow me to commend the new Administration for its excellent work in attempting to change its old, dishonest and corrupt practices which hurt tenants and the Public alike.
Credit to new Harbor president Rick Shepherd and new Harbor Secretary Harry Adams.
There is much ground to cover to bring this Governance back to any semblence of respectability.
During Public Comments, I brought to President Shepherd’s attention the following:
*SECOND REQUEST: The website had not been updated since December elections displaying pictures and official titles of Harbor officers. After my additional polite request, the website has been PARTIALLY updated. In an effort to be helpful, I have provided Harbormaster Tim Petrick pictures of ALL commissioners.
*SECOND REQUEST: I’ve asked president Shepherd to agendize the history of how the Harbor expropriated tenant Rachel Towe’s RV Anchorage (now renamed Redwood RV) in May of 2017 AND how the Harbor acquired the Bayside RV Park for $600,000.
*SECOND REQUEST: Discussion/Action item to have commissioners decide if the Harbor should engage in possible conflicting behavior by acting as landlord oversight for all tenants while engaged in tenant status for both RV Parks. Conflict of Interest.
*I asked president Shepherd to agendize discussion on continuing the relationship with Alex Lemus, CEO of Reusable Energy Capital Partners(REC).*****************Despite the continuing confusion of who is responsible for a $283,000 payment to the Harbor (REC and Lemus have vowed not to make this payment and its successor is financially insolvent), Commissioners moved forward on a Long Term Resident Transition Plan, if only in the discussion of how to improve the deteriorating conditions involving 86 tenant families. Mr. Lemus spoke first on behalf of REC. Lemus spoke of ” …doing the right thing” in transitioning tenants. “Doing the right thing” has multi-definitions. What’s right for one is not necessarily right for someone else. One must keep in mind REC is a FOR PROFIT entity. MR. Lemus’ words were misleading and empty of meaning without further specific clarity.
Noticeably missing from the Transition Plan was any mention of an adequate tenant Harbor-provided ombudsman or legal counsel to protect the tenants. It is my hope Commissioners will insert this tenant ombudsman into the Plan.
* Commissioner Brian Stone AGAIN spoke of his close association with the Lemus Group and with a congressman’s legislative aide re: the painfully-slow process of acquiring the Dredge Permit. To remind all, the Army Corps of Engineers has acknowledged its responsibility to dredge the Crescent City Harbor…the matter which remains unresolved is where to remove the dredge material.
Commissioner Stone was less than honest when he disclosed a Eureka location where accumulated materials can be deposited. The cost of this option reportedly remains very expensive.
In the seven months of my attending Harbor meetings, there was never a PUBLIC mention of the Eureka option.
Stone’s intentional (if not delusional) misleading of the Eureka option continues to delay the process of obtaining the appropriate Permit and explains why the Harbor, in bad faith, has not been dredged in a decade; this dredging inaction continues to cause great harm to Harbor tenants. Sadly, Commissioners Wes White and Stone have not so quietly championed a hotel in the Harbor on the very site where Fashion Blacksmith situates.
* President Shepherd and Secretary Adams reported from the Ad Hoc Committee the poor physical conditions of some of the HARBOR buildings. Adams stated these mold-infested buildings must be razed. Shepherd stated the Harbor has NEVER conducted such an extensive examination of these dilapidated buildings. He vowed to speak with each tenant about deferred maintenance. His first meeting will be with Fashion Blacksmith. I have personally observed long-standing gaping holes on the north-facing siding.
The Ad Hoc Committee should be permanent and called the Harbor Maintenance Committee.
Again, I recognize the stellar efforts of the new Harbor Commission administration.
Part II : How to clean up the Harbor


text: There is a layer to all my work which addresses the wonders and “realities” of the paradox that is the universe and cosmos around us... being made of starstuff I hope we aren’t the only luminous beings occupying this magical space. My feeble contemplations of these mysteries manifest as conversions populated with textural vibrations, colorful swells and rhythmic compositions often accompanied and expanded on with original written words of my own. The act of writing removes mental blocks and allows me to use my intellect to better understand myself, others and the world around me. Clarifying my thoughts and feelings by accessing the left side of my brain harmonizes with the right side of my brain in my studio practice and with the intuitive process in which I create. This dynamic synthesis enriches my vocation and, in some ways, acts as a tuning device to align my creative ideologies.

This morning's weekly ABC/Washington Post consumer confidence reading reverted to its negative "Trend" line. This correlates positively with the sharp downward movement in last week's US jobless claims. Both have an inverse correlation with rising US corporate and personal bankruptcies.
At -49, the ABC confidence readings look primed to test their all time lows. This week's negative move is more negative if you consider that this occurred in the face of dropping oil prices.

When we think about climate change, we think about the worsening global economy, the extreme temperatures and the loss of natural space. But what about biodiversity?
Dr Steven McCulloch, a senior lecturer in Human-Animal Studies, spoke with us to share his perspective on animal welfare and the need for change.
Steven, a qualified vet and head of research at the Conservative Animal Welfare Foundation (CAWF), discovered his interest during secondary school. “Most vets interested in animal welfare tend to go down the science root and become animal welfare scientists, but I had a bit more of an interest in ethics and policy,” he says.
As part of his work with CAWF, Steven recently published his research on farrowing crates for pigs and public opinion on farmed animal welfare. “My work tends to be driven by what I feel will have the greatest potential for impact, and because of the numbers involved, that’s often to do with farmed animals.”
In the UK, we rear over one billion land-farmed animals and 95% of those are chickens for meat. Steven adds: “We consumer around 4 to 5 billion marine animals each year yet the UK has 0 animal welfare protections for those.”
For Steven, sentience is key. “Sentience is the capacity to experience pleasure and pain. If a being or animal can experience pleasure and pain, and other emotions too, then it can have a positive or negative mental state and a life worth living or not worth living. Ultimately, it can suffer.”
Professor John Webster, a previous superior to Steven, advised that: “If you’re interested in improving animal welfare, then you should focus on chickens.”
As part of Steven’s research, he quotes The Better Chicken Commitment (BCC). Currently, the UK slaughters chickens at the age of 6 weeks. This is due to the artificial selection and breeding processes that are currently legal. “Consequently, about 20% of chickens, or 200 million birds, develop lameness, and for 2 weeks of their 6 week lives, are in a lot of pain,” he says.
“The BCC would improve the lives of potentially about 200 million chickens a year. The Government Animal Health Welfare Pathway subsidy system for farmers is committed to it as a priority area,” he adds.
Alongside this, Steven has stressed the impact of implications occurring as a result of Brexit. “For those who campaigned for Brexit, one of their arguments was that outside of the European Union we could ban the export of live animals… Banning the live export of animals is a Conservative manifesto pledge and through the Kept Animals Bill and Boris Johnson’s Government, this ban was passing through Parliament,”
“Unfortunately, due to political changes, this has been stalled. There is now a lot of pressure from Non-Government Organisations (NGOs) to continue with this Kept Animals Bill and pass it as an act of law.”
Since leaving the EU, the UK is now able to determine its own agriculture policy, which is why the Government has passed the Agriculture Law – an act to authorise expenditure for specific agricultural purposes.
However, Steven advises that the Government currently prioritise paying farmers for the land they own with taxpayers’ money as opposed to satisfying what the British public wants. For example, 88% of the UK thinks that cages are cruel, so why is public money not being utilised for public needs?
Steven believes that a shift in financial priorities would lead to the subsidising of farmers to help the transition to the BCC as well as subsidies for slower-growing chickens and the phasing out of farrowing crates for pigs.
As a lecturer in Human-Animal studies, Steven agrees that animal welfare should be more widely considered throughout the education curriculum: “We recommend that animal welfare and sustainability, due to their close relationship, should be within the school curriculum. For example, livestock farming produces significant greenhouse gas emissions, local pollution, and impacts on biodiversity.”
But he’s not the only one. NGO’s such as the RSPCA and Compassion in World Farming have been campaigning for compulsory animal welfare education for a long time, with recent polls showing that between 80-90% of the British public support this.
Alongside the rise in social media, we have witnessed activists sharing videos of animals being harmed in hopes of raising awareness. For Steven, he recognises that this is an act of good intentions but of course, it’s a shame to see the animals in distress. However, he believes that it’s extremely important to document these activities.
Within the UK, “there’s a real public and democratic issue related to this. I think it’s accepted that there are benefits to the exposure of these sorts of activities, even though sometimes it may involve illegal activities. For example, through trespassing. But I think there's a wide acceptance that this kind of direct action is acceptable as long as it doesn't cause violence and physical harm,” he says.
“As rational and moral beings, we humans have a duty to make what difference we can. There are animal welfare benefits, but also environmental and public health benefits to reduced meat consumption,” says Steven.
Steven advises people to make changes to their lives through acts of purchasing RSPCA Assured or Soil Association foods, as well as reading widely about policy updates. He urges people to act politically, whether that be through writing to their MP, signing up for emails from NGOs or being a thought leader.
