By default this display is not shown, instead you press the 'info' button to show or hide it, you can optionally have the display on all the time.

The top (monochrome) LCD on our Nikon D80 recently broke. I think that it is actually called the "Control Panel," and displays settings, battery life, number of pictures remaining, etc. Please note that this is not the 2.5" color LCD on the rear of the camera. I know that it is merely the LCD because the backlight works, as does portions of the LCD display itself. Does anyone know of a guide or video to perform this repair? Also, does anyone know the part number? I plan to call Nikon tomor

Allegra Chisholm wants her neighbors to participate in the upcoming elections, so she's dedicated her spring break to the cause.
She's going door-to-door providing people in South Sacramento and Oak Park with the resources to vote.
"We've had three register with us today," said Chisholm.
The Sacramento State Graduate student helped coordinate an alternate spring break for students at both Sac State and Sac City College. She says 150 students registered for the program.
"I guess instead of doing something more fun, they're coming out and doing something that will help their community a lot," Chisholm said.
Sac City College student Pam Salinas said the experience was wonderful because she met new friends and helped get community members interested in an important presidential race.
"This one in particular, I think we have some issues that are very important to the masses, and so I think this one in particular is very important," Salinas said.
The students will be canvasing neighborhoods again on Friday.

Writing a children’s book is a lot more difficult than one would think. There are many different kinds of children’s books, from board books, picture books, early chapter books to Middle Grade novels. The writing is just one part of the equation. Should the author decide to self-publish, as many authors are doing these days, then there is also the need to acquire illustrations, book covers, editors, book reviewers, and, of course, deal with the greatest task of all, marketing. With all these things to consider, and much more, one needs a guide to lead them along, to avoid the usual pitfalls and to make the path to writing success a little less cumbersome. After all, the writing, publishing and marketing of a children’s book is a whole new challenge, quite different from that of an adult book.
Yvonne Jones, a published children’s author herself and one who expounds the merits of self-publishing, has produced a very helpful guide, How To Self-Publish a Children’s Book: Everything You Need To Know To Write, Illustrate, Publish, And Market Your Paperback And Ebook. She writes from personal experience and she has put together a very usable and useful tool to help new and established children’s authors be successful in their writing career. Each chapter is well laid out with useful templates and instructions and a good summary at the end of Do’s and Don’ts. After leading the reader through a steady, logical process, she includes a chapter with tips from other established children’s authors and a lengthy list of helpful resources. This guide is full of words of encouragement and good, sound advice.

Army Rolls Over the Midshipmen for 3rd straight season
Written by Adam Bird on 12/09/2018
Philadelphia, Penn. – This is known as American’s Game, filled with tradition.
For the 119thtime Army versus Navy took place on the gridiron.
It’s the only game where everyone on the field is a hero.
“The March On” happened a few minutes after 2:30 on Saturday; U.S. Military Academy Cadets and the Midshipmen of Navy marched onto the pristine green playing field. The country’s future military leaders, warriors and brothers and sisters in arms move onto the field in cadence in a manner so precise that it captures the entire crowd’s attention in awe.
For fun and entertainment, the two schools continue a tradition that no other game has when the complete “the prisoner exchange” as seven exchange students from each school swap sides of the field to return to their own. These seven “prisoners” were part of a fall semester program called the Service Academy Exchange Program as they spent a semester in their rival’s classroom to be returned on national TV as their two schools prepare to play in front thousands of active military, Veterans, their families and friends.
Aerial exhibitions from the two services take place as the Navy Leap Frogs followed by the Army Golden Knights parachute into the stadium getting the participants and the fans fired up!
As the service members land and collect their “chutes,” the excitement from the teams in the tunnels jumping up and down, can be heard by all as the players yell and carry-on, waiting to storm the field.
Wait, four Army Apache helicopters flyover head as the Army Football team rolls onto the field bringing the crowd to their feet. Their black uniforms adorned with a clear red one honoring the Army’s 100th anniversary of the famed “Big Red One,” i.e. First Infantry Division.
Almost as quickly as the Apaches appeared, they vanish overhead followed by the incredible roar of four Navy’s F-18 Hornets ripping through the sky. The deafening noise ushers the Midshipmen onto the field as they proudly display they honor their school’s mascot, the Navy Goat, on their uniforms of the day.
Every concrete block, girder and piece of rebar is shaking at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia as 66,729 fans cheer, scream, and clap, vehemently encouraging their favorites. Without one play, the stadium roars again; President Donald Trump strides onto the field to greet the teams and flip the coin. Cheering is incessant the entire time, the 45th president is on the field. Love for this commander-in-chief is obvious in Philly.
Quickly, the cadets take a lead and they would keep the same for the next three-plus quarters. Finally, in the fourth quarter, Navy scored their lone touchdown of the game. The “long gray line” defensive squad was more than a line this day as they formed a blockade against the Navy’s Midshipmen. After Army recovered a fumble while Navy attempted a 4th down with 12 yards to go, deep in their own territory, Kelvin Hopkins Jr, Army’s quarterback, finished off the team from Annapolis with a one-yard scoring run giving Army their third straight victory against Navy.
Tradition dictates that after the final horn, each team sings their school song together. This sign of respect to one another is paramount as soon they will serve together, leading Uncle Sam’s service members and winning our nation’s battles.
In this game the scoreboard shows an obvious winner and loser but when this military showcase is played, “the land of the free and home of the brave” wins.

2024 Ford Ranchero Rumors Redesign Reviews
2024 Ford Ranchero. If certain rumors are to be believed, the well-liked Ranchero pickup truck could return the next year. Additionally, according to recent sources, the well-liked Courier model offered in Brazil will be replaced by the new Ford Ranchero 2024. The Ford Ranchero, which will be based on the most recent Focus engineering and differ from the Courier in that it will seat five people and have a wonderful design, will have a large cabin. Numerous typical features for passengers Additionally, several of the current engines from the Focus RS and Escape SUV vehicles will be used. This truck will probably reach Brazil, and it has a high chance of arriving on US territory in 2021.
2024 Ford Ranchero Redesign
A new version of the Ford Ranchero 2024 is available, and it looks identical to the Focus model. Regardless, you can easily see the difference because the Ranchero is a pickup truck that offers more ground clearance and a large bed in the back. However, the Ranchero also has a matching front end design for the Focus. It comes with the same grille, and provides the same look of LED headlights. In addition to the Focus, Blue Oval has also trademarked several Ford Rangers bodywork. Overall, both models come in the same proportions, and the Blue Oval will likely call the Ranchero in crew-cabin style.
2024 Ford Ranchero Interior Rumors
Inside, the upcoming 2024 Ford Ranchero will likely feature the same dose of comfort as many of the Blue Oval models. We’ve heard a lot of rumors, and of the most recent one, the Ranchero could get the same treatment in the Escape/Kuga form. In general, at this time, it is difficult to predict the cabin design of this model. Many believe the Ranchero will offer a spacious cabin that can comfortably seat five passengers and some of the interior features we’ve seen in the Escape. It includes a 7-inch infotainment unit and a suite of driver assistance systems.
2024 Ford Ranchero Powertrain Specification
In terms of engines, the Ford Ranchero 2024 is likely to use some of the current engines. In general, Blue Oval has a variety of engines, and we collect information about possible engines. The first candidate is the powerful and very economical 1.5 liter EcoBoost engine found on many models. Next up may be the more powerful 2.0-liter EcoBoost Turbo variant that also powers the Escape.
A final possibility is the engine that powers the Focus RS. This model uses a 2.3L turbocharged engine that delivers excellent performance. Diesel engines will probably not happen, keep in mind that many manufacturers use more ecological powertrains.
2024 Ford Ranchero Release Date And Price
The all-new 2024 Ford Ranchero pickup truck will have almost the same styling as seen on the latest Focus model. According to many rumors, this pickup truck may be the least expensive in the Ford lineup. From some early reports, the new Ranchero could start at $20,000 or even a little less. However, we’re still waiting for more details, and hopefully Ford will release more information soon. As for the release date, many believe the Ranchero will be available sometime in 2021.

2024 Ford Ranchero Update
Ford Ranchero 2024 is another interesting model. The pickup truck will hit dealerships next year, as a direct replacement for the Ford Courier. The pickup truck segment is growing, particularly in North America. This segment is currently the busiest with body pickups on the frame. However, the monosyllabic alternative is slowly taking its place.
For this reason, Ford and other manufacturers are turning to the monocoque. Ranchero was a very popular model at that time. Reviving old banners is a common move, so this model makes a lot of sense. The new Ranchero will be a one-body pickup truck, larger than the Courier, but not much bigger. We count on a wide range of available engines, different trim levels and more.
2024 Ranchero Design
In terms of style, the Ford Ranchero 2024 remains a mystery. At this point there are several renders available and they give us an idea of what the Ranchero truck will look like. The front end has a similar design that you can find in a Ford Escape crossover SUV. Of course the ranchero will look more fierce and unique.
We expect a practical model with clever design solutions, akin to the Bronco SUV. After all, most of the Ranchero’s features will be similar to those of the Bronco. There will be two different wheelbase lengths and crew cab arrangements will be offered. Like we said, the Ranchero will be bigger than the Courier.
Once again, the interior of the Ford Ranchero 2024 is based on the Escape Crossover SUV. On the other hand, the Ranchero will be an affordable pickup so we didn’t expect this level of luxury. However, the Blue Oval will offer a practical cabin with plenty of interior space.
Most likely, Ford will offer luxury, but only in the highest trim levels. The basic alternative comes with less expensive upholstery and a smaller screen. The Ranchero pickup will have a standard 7-inch touchscreen and possibly an updated SYNC3 infotainment system.
The upcoming Ford Ranchero 2024 is likely to arrive with a smaller EcoBoost engine option. It includes a 1.5-liter EcoBoost petrol engine as a standard engine option. A larger 2.0-liter EcoBoost will be optional, according to reliable sources. Some rumors predict a 2.3-liter engine in the Focus RS.
However, we cannot confirm if this is the official line-up of the machines at the moment. The Ranchero will not offer any electrification, and the high-performance variant is another mystery. Diesel can happen, but not in the US. Instead, Ford will show the diesel-powered Ranchero in South America.
Ford Ranchero 2024 Price, Release Date
The base Ford Ranchero 2024 will cost 2024 dollars or even a little less. Like we said, the Ranchero will replace the Courier in South America and go on sale in the last quarter of 2021. Sales will start in Brazil, and a US-spec version will also be available sometime next year.

2024 Ford Ranchero Rumor
In the past, supermodels like Rancher and El Camino were very popular in North America. However, subtle changes in the world of cars and coupes haven’t been around for decades, although there are some exceptions in Australia. These days, things are changing again and passenger cars are almost gone. It is mostly about crossovers, while pickup trucks are also growing in popularity. That is why the return of the 2021 Ford Ranchero seems very likely.
While we are still waiting to hear something from the officials, there are many unofficial reports indicating this return. Simply put, Blue Oval will no longer produce passenger cars. This model could be a great solution for anyone looking for a little worlds wide range of crossover trucks. We may already see him next year.
2021 Ford Ranchero Design
In terms of basic design characteristics, the 2021 Ford Ranchero will not be too far from its roots. We’ll take a look at the iconic coupe/ute design, albeit packed into a contemporary design. Of course, this will be a one-body pickup truck. Most likely, you will be using Ford’s new CD6 platform, which debuted with the new Explorer. The new architecture will underpin the next generation of the Mustang and we suppose the new 2021 Ford Ranchero will have a lot in common with the popular pony car.
With its RWD design, the upcoming model promises an enjoyable driving experience, but we also count on the stylish look. The front end will be shared with other models in the company’s lineup. On the other hand, the back of the body will be equipped with a large cargo bed.
Inside, the 2021 Ford Ranchero will stay true to its roots, too. This means creating a single row that characterizes the archetype. However, current drivers have all kinds of requests, so we wouldn’t be surprised if we saw a two-line version on offer as well.
The overall design of the cabin may be the same as the original, but we are sure that everything will be filled with the latest design solutions. This refers to the dashboard, which will use high-quality materials and be equipped with the latest technological goods. Speaking of the latest tech stuff, we’ll see the latest infotainment system, with a new vertical touchscreen in display as well.
2021 Ford Ranchero Engine
While all kinds of things are possible with the exterior and interior design, the engine lineup feels quite intuitive. The 2021 Ford Ranchero will use units familiar to the company and we don’t expect to see any special surprises. Therefore, the base model could easily come with a 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, producing about 300 horsepower. It is also possible to use a 2.7 liter V6 engine. Due to the fact that the new CD6 platform accommodates a 3.0-liter engine as well, we can see this unit on display as well. This engine will power the high-performance variant, since it produces a full 400 horsepower. We also do not exclude the possibility of seeing a version with a V8 engine, as this might be a logical choice for car enthusiasts.
We live in the modern age, so there is no doubt that the 2021 Ford Ranchero will come with a hybrid engine someday as well. It’s too early to know the exact details and we’re sure this version is not for an early release.
2021 Ford Ranchero Release Date And Price
Although the company remains silent on this matter, several sources indicate that the 2021 Ford Ranchero may actually arrive in the first half of next year. When it comes to pricing, we’re assuming the base model will be around $30,000. Besides the new Ranchero, we’re also counting on the return of another legend, Chevy El Camino. You can read more about this comeback here.

The Big Brother Naija, BBNaija Season 7 ‘fake’ housemate, Deji has identified the housemate who will enter the finale of the ongoing all-star edition of the reality show “without stress.”
He said Big Brother Naija Season 4 winner, Mercy Eke is bound to be one of the finalists this season.
Deji made the assertion while reacting to Mercy’s victory in the Black Envelope Challenge which immuned her from this week’s nominations for possible eviction.
On his Twitter handle, Deji wrote, “Wetin Mercy dey do with Immunity? Person wey go still enter final without stress.”
Naijahits reported that Biggie on Monday night, declared that all the housemates are safe from possible eviction this week after the housemates nominated themselves for possible eviction.
The duo of Mercy and Adekunle were exempted from nominations for possible eviction initially after winning the Black Envelope Challenge and Head of House game, respectively.

Our latest interview is with Juanita Benedicto (Astrologer and Tarot Reader), one of the creators of FAUNABELLE Tarot Deck. A compassionate and kind tarot deck for children and the young at heart. Along with Nicola Allan ( a children's artist), they have created a tarot deck featuring an illustrated cast of animals subtly loaded with symbolism. The accompanying guidebook offers warm-hearted meanings for each card appropriate for kids ages 3-12. But this deck is not for children only, it's for anyone who needs a little more kindness, compassion and beauty in their life.
Kickstarter - FAUNABELLE Tarot
Where in the world do you call home?
San Miguel de Allende, Mexico!
What was your first experience with tarot and when did you fall in love with it?
I first got involved with tarot when I turned 30. I was going through a divorce, had moved across the Country (USA) and had just finished grad school while starting a new career while single-momming it with my two little girls. I didn’t have any friends yet in my new town and felt overwhelmed with responsibilities. I turned to tarot for advice and as a way to tune into my inner strength. It was an invaluable experience and I’ve never stopped turning to tarot.
What made you want to create your own tarot deck?What was your inspiration?
Children’s illustrator, Nicola Allan, and I began meeting to let our dogs play in a giant soccer field. This was last March 2020 when the entire world was closing down due to Covid. We like to think that the spirit of this deck brought us together. It needed Nicola’s illustration’s skill and my embodiment of tarot. I also used to be a children’s librarian. Given our histories, this disembodied creative idea saw its opportunity and within a few weeks of meeting with Nicola and her dog, this idea presented itself to us! Our inspiration is bringing more kindness and compassion into the world!
Aside from your own deck, do you have a favourite deck? If so, which one?
I use the Rider Waite with clients as I appreciate the symbolism of the cards. We migrated much of its symbolism into our own deck, Faunabelle. My favorite deck for myself is Lumina Tarot. The personality of this deck and its energy are deeply spiritual which supports my outlook on life.
Do you have a favourite card (either from your deck or just the card in general). If so, why is it your favourite?
My favorite tarot card is The Star. I pulled it for my New Year’s card in 2017. After a time of a lot of job instability and loss, it gave me a healing hope to begin a journey of empowerment. In Faunabelle, my favorite card is The Hermit. I love how we’ve created a wise Raven of the woods who is self-sufficient with her indigenous crop of Three Sisters. The symbolism of self-discovery and containment in the card appeals to me, very much, as does the witch in the woods archetype. We chose Raven to represent our Hermit. Raven symbolism is connected with crone energy, introspection and self-knowledge which I love for Virgo, its astrological correspondence.
We are living in such crazy times. How has the pandemic affected your creativity?
It’s given me the precious space and time to devote myself wholly to my work. If I didn’t have protected time as I do now, because socializing is out of the picture for me, I would not be able to pour myself into this project while maintaining my astrology and tarot practice.
What have been your challenges in creating this deck?
There have been very few challenges. The biggest one for me would be spending time on the not-so-fun parts such as researching vendors and figuring out shipping!
This deck is created for use by both children and adults alike. What skills or knowledge do you think children will gain from playing with the tarot and do you think the cards should be explained to them or allow them to rely on their intuition?
Just like adults, children have ups and downs. They need something they can turn to for comfort at times. Sometimes they turn to books. Sometimes to stuffed animals. Sometimes to a parent. The tarot will be another helpful tool to turn to. In doing so, they’ll gain the skill to see things from another perspective. Using tarot will stimulate their creativity as well. I imagine them creating little stories for our major arcana ambassadors for instance. What’s the Devil up to in that suit? Who are the other elephants behind The Emperor? A guidebook accompanies the deck. They words have been thoughtfully distilled into a kind and compassionate interpretation. Children will be able to rely on their imagination and use the guidebook. The two are not exclusive.
How will you celebrate when the deck is finally published?
I’ll take a day off! Or ten!! I’d love to be able to take a little trip somewhere and not touch my laptop for a week! :)
What is on offer for people who pledge?
We’ve got a bunch of goodies: the deck itself, now bedazzled with gold sides as we’re reaching our stretch goals! The guidebook. A tote bag, large stickers, notebook, a tarot reading via Zoom, enamel pins, and a little velvet bag to enclose the cards. We have different combinations of items paired at the varying tiers. We’ll also have a pre-order store which will enable folks to include more items when they pay for their pledge.
To bring some kindness and compassion to your life with this beautifully illustrated deck, pledge here:

In-Depth Family Interviews, Case Studies and Surveys
The Family Acceptance Project™ (FAP) uses a range of research methods including in-depth individual interviews with LGBT adolescents and their families, case studies and surveys to understand how family reactions to an lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) young person affect their health, mental health and well-being.
The first part of our project includes in-depth individual interviews with LGBT adolescents and their families throughout California. We reached out to youth from a wide range of backgrounds, experiences and geographic areas. This includes youth from accepting, ambivalent and rejecting families, including youth living in gated, middle-class, low income, farming and rural communities, immigrant families, youth in foster care, and adjudicated and homeless youth and their families. We reached youth and their families through schools, mainstream and LGBT youth service organizations, youth and family service agencies, peer outreach workers, foster care and residential programs.
Our interviews focused on family history and child development, sexual orientation and gender identity, religious beliefs and values, sexual orientation, culture and ethnicity, coming out, family response and adaptation over time, school-based experiences and victimization, resiliency and strength, sources of support, future goals and aspirations.
We found that families have a range of reactions to their children’s LGBT identity and express their reactions through behaviors that affect their children’s health and mental health outcomes. Our research linked family responses with risk and protective factors for key concerns including sexual health, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, substance use, depression, suicide and well-being. We also assessed the availability of services for families of LGBT youth to help develop research-based resources and interventions to educate families and increase family support for their LGBT children.
We are using our findings to develop family-education materials in several languages, working with diverse families with LGBT children, adolescents and young adults. We are developing provider risk-resiliency assessment materials and resources to increase providers’ cultural competency. And we are collaborating with community agencies to help us develop a new research-based family approach to help support LGBT children and youth in a wide range of settings. We have received a matching grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to develop a new evidence-based family-related model of prevention and care with Child and Adolescent Services at San Francisco General Hospital / University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) that we will disseminate to agencies and programs across the country. Our findings will also be used to inform policy and to improve the way that systems of care address the needs of LGBT children and adolescents.

Alcohol is the most abused addictive substance in the United States today. Millions of Americans can safely enjoy alcohol without using too much or engaging in risky behavior. Yet numerous people struggle to maintain a healthy relationship with alcohol. The outcome for many of these people is alcohol use disorder (AUD). The best way to begin recovering from AUD is by undergoing alcohol detox.
It is possible to complete alcohol detox at home, though often the safest and best option is to seek alcohol detox through a trusted AUD treatment provider. Contact Gulf Breeze Recovery at 833.551.2304 to learn more about alcohol detox.
What Is Alcohol Detox?
Alcohol detox is the process of eliminating alcohol from the body. The process can take four or five days, though withdrawal symptoms may last longer in cases of more severe AUD. The most challenging part of alcohol detox for most people is the withdrawal symptoms. Most people undergoing alcohol detox crave alcohol and are tempted to use it. Uncomfortable physical symptoms typically exacerbate these cravings.
The most common alcohol withdrawal symptoms are:
Trying alcohol detox at home is sometimes inadvisable because severe withdrawal symptoms can occur. These are rarer than mild symptoms but can still happen, especially in cases where drinking behavior was excessive or carried on for an extended period. Perilous alcohol withdrawal symptoms include hallucinations, seizures, and delirium tremens (DTs).
How to Detox from Alcohol
The alcohol detox process is straightforward. If you undergo detox at a treatment facility, they will provide medical support and monitoring during detox. One thing that distinguishes alcohol detox from other types of detox is that medications can often make it easier to undergo. Examples of drugs used in alcohol detox include benzodiazepines and neuroleptics. More specific options include naltrexone and disulfiram.
Benzodiazepines are often used during alcohol detox to reduce the risk of seizures. Neuroleptics work similarly by tamping down the risk of seizures. They also tend to help with anxiety and irritability resulting from alcohol detox. Meanwhile, both naltrexone and disulfiram are less used early in the detox process but can be implemented to help keep cravings low. Each medication also helps people avoid future drinking as they provoke adverse side effects when a person does drink. These side effects are negative reinforcement that helps people maintain sobriety after completing alcohol detox.
Timeline of Detoxing from Alcohol
What does alcohol detox look like? The timeline is outlined below, from initial withdrawal symptoms to the first few days.
Most people with an alcohol use disorder experience some withdrawal symptoms about six hours after their last alcohol drink. For people with a history of extremely heavy drinking, this early period is also when they are more at risk for seizures.
12 Hours to the End of the First Day
Withdrawal symptoms continue through the rest of the first day. Some people may experience hallucinations at some point during the first day of alcohol detox.
24 to 48 Hours
Many people experience the peak of their withdrawal symptoms between the 24- and 48-hour mark. For milder AUDs, withdrawal symptoms may begin tapering off after this period.
48 to 72 Hours
This window during alcohol detox is when people with severe AUDs are most at risk of DTs. As one of the most dangerous withdrawal symptoms, DTs involves elevated heart rate, fever, and potential seizures.
72 Hours and After
The start of day three and onward is when people may begin to feel better. However, people with severe AUDs may continue to experience withdrawal symptoms for up to a month.

Help a Parent Deal with Chronic Pain
Living with chronic pain is exhausting and can feel overwhelming quickly. However, as a caregiver with tools at your disposal, there are many options you can share with your parent to mitigate pain and experience a higher quality of life.
For many older adults, chronic pain is a daily challenge to overcome. According to research published in The British Medical Journal, pain is one of the most common concerns people over the age of 65 bring to their doctors. Chronic pain is a worldwide issue for older adults and can cause a variety of other concerns such as decreased mobility, depression, or increased fall risk.
What Causes Chronic Pain?
Chronic pain is pain that lasts for months or years without consistent relief. While older adults do report pain while visiting their doctors, a report from The Ochsner Journal suggests that a majority of seniors may not report their pain, as they falsely believe constant pain is a normal part of aging (it’s not).
Older adults can experience chronic pain for a variety of reasons, or a combination of circumstances. For example, seniors living with chronic medical conditions like osteoarthritis can experience chronic pain in their joints. Other older adults who have decreased mobility can also experience chronic pain in their joints when they move, though it is not caused by arthritis. Seniors can suffer with chronic pain due to complications from diabetes or amputations, from side effects due to cancer or medications, and even from mental health conditions like major depression. In any case, people living with chronic pain need support with safety, movement, and hope as they navigate ways to manage it.
If most seniors are thought to underreport their own chronic pain, your loved one may be brushing off their own pain concerns. Talking about pain, especially onset and relief strategies, is important to do at each doctor appointment. You can help by reporting pain to the geriatrician by keeping a pain log in a notebook. If able, your loved one can rate their pain on a scale of 1-10 three times each day, around meals, in the log. If physical or cognitive issues make this impossible for independent reporting, you can help by asking about pain when you talk to your loved one. Write down their complaints each time. These logs are beneficial for doctors to review at each appointment.
Chronic pain often goes hand in hand with medication regimens meant to bring relief. However, having extra medications in the home can sometimes lead to unsafe situations for older adults. Help your loved one stay safe by implementing medication management tools that are geared to their specific abilities and challenges. Ask for easy open bottles from the pharmacy if pain or arthritis makes a traditional safety top too difficult to manage. You can also set alarms as reminders to take specific medications. A consistent schedule is key for medication management, and you can set up medications ahead of time in a pill box to decrease the chance of taking too much (or not enough). If medication management is proving to be too much of a task for your situation, consider hiring a professional caregiver to assist with daily medication management.
Even the most thorough medication management plan can have its faults. It is wise to brush up on your knowledge of medication abuse or misuse, especially if there are opioids or other strong pain medications in your loved one’s home. Follow up with the doctor if there are any acute changes in personality or memory, as well as if there are any signs of withdrawal, like tremors or nausea. If you suspect there could be abuse or misuse from the pain medications, be honest with your loved one and their doctor about your concerns. There are safe ways to stay pain free while avoiding triggers for substance abuse.
Finally, assure you are noting any signs of depression. For those living with chronic pain, isolation and depression are often side effects of their pain. For seniors, isolation can be especially harmful for cognitive function, and depression can increase the chance of medication misuse. Talk to your loved one’s doctor if you are worried about depression or isolation. Note any signs of depression, such as disrupted sleep patterns, unexplained cuts or bruises, or sudden disinterest in hobbies.
For many people living with chronic pain, movement can feel impossible. However, in an ironic twist, regular movement often provides relief from pain. Regular exercise, no matter how gentle, can improve range of motion and decrease pain for most older adults. Getting your loved one moving can feel like a challenge, but if you are able to encourage that healthy movement and point out the benefits, your chances of getting them out of their chair increase.
Before beginning any exercise program, talk to your loved one’s doctor. The physician can provide any suggestions to get started, as well as any precautions to keep in mind. After you get the doctor’s blessing for regular movement, assure your loved one has the gear required for safety. Non-skid and well-fitting tennis shoes are a great start, as are any braces or supports that can make movement more efficient and pain free.
Search for exercise programs that are designed for their specific condition. For example, the Arthritis Association has certified trainers throughout the world who lead aquatic and land-based exercise to increase range of motion in joints for those living with the condition. You can also find classes geared towards those living with Parkinson’s Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, and more. These are wonderful movement opportunities, as well as chances to socialize with peers living with the same challenges.
You can also find wonderful guidance from Physical and Occupational Therapists that specialize in senior care. Ask the doctor for a referral to an outpatient clinic nearby. Your therapist will work with your loved one weekly, as well as give instructions for exercises to complete at home. Even after sessions at the therapy clinic cease, your loved one will have the confidence to keep up the exercises at home.
Finally, pain can be a powerful deterrent to beginning exercise. To combat this, experiment with using over the counter pain relievers an hour before movement starts. This tactic can reduce the pain and increase the chances of attending the exercise class. You can also look for exercise opportunities that are low impact, making the movement more pain free. Aquatic exercise classes or slow walking are great places to start.
Living with chronic pain is exhausting and can feel overwhelming quickly. As you support your loved one, don’t forget to encourage an optimistic and hopeful outlook. Try ending your visits by asking for one thing they are thankful for or asking about one good thing that happened that day before you end your phone call. These small acknowledgements can do wonders.
You can also encourage and facilitate socialization opportunities. Drive your loved one to an event at the local senior center or plan a coffee date for a few of their friends. Socialization with peers can decrease feelings of perceived loneliness and even decrease depression. Support groups for older adults, or for adults living with the same conditions, is another positive step for chronic pain management.
Together, you and your loved one can find the best ways to live with chronic pain. You can find the resources and support that works best for your specific situation and get relief.

Streamlined Energy & Carbon Reporting – What does it mean for you?
Since its initial announcement in 2016, the Department for Business, Energy, and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) has been working on a new framework to simplify the complicated environmental reporting landscape that exists currently. What they came up with is known as the “Streamlined Energy & Carbon Reporting Framework” (SECR).
Following an extensive consultation process, which EVORA took part in, the Government recently confirmed the details of how the framework will look. Under the new legislation:
- All quoted companies will be required to report their UK energy use, associated Scope 1 & 2 emissions (in simple terms, covering electricity and gas use), an intensity metric and, where applicable, global energy use in their Annual Reports.
- All “large” unquoted companies will be required to report their UK energy use, associated scope 1 & 2 emissions, and an intensity metric in their Annual Reports.
- All “large” LLPs will be required to report similar to Unquoted Companies in their Annual Reports.
- Unregistered companies required to prepare a Directors’ Report will also need to include similar information to unquoted companies.
The framework will be applied through Companies House, which means there are no requirements for non-UK registered companies. Meanwhile, the Companies House definition of “large” will be applied (i.e. when two or more of the following are true: 250 employees or more, annual turnover of £36mil or more, annual balance sheet of £18mil or more).
The legislation takes effect on April 1st 2019 and applies to any financial reporting years starting on or after this date. This means the first SECR reports will need to be filed in 2020.
How we can help:
Here at EVORA, we have significant experience in the collation, management, and analysis of ESG data.
Through use of our bespoke ESG data management software, SIERA, and the support of our team of expert consultants we can fully manage the delivery of your annual SECR Report from start to finish, and help you use this information as the basis for a broader ESG strategy that will maximise value from the SECR process and deliver transformative change for your Company.
If you have further questions or are seeking assistance with your environmental reporting, get in touch and our team of experts will be happy to help.

Zavvi got it delivered to me very quickly, and for a really low price! The game is very funny to play.
Maybe not as good as the first Dark Souls, but still it's better than all the rest RPG's. Very addictive and my game of the year!
With Dark Souls II return the best darker series, with all is charming atmosphere and is madness gameplay. Pick it up, it is the last AAA title for this (now) old consoles generation.
I was bewitched byt both Demon's Souls and Dark Souls so it was natural to me to buy also Dark Souls 2. I think this game is, again, a perfect mix of "pure gameplay" and beautiful locations: I really love how From Software is able to create a completed connected world to explore paying attention to death, the very best "friend" in this game. My experience with the old games is helping me in avoiding stupid deaths caused by haste: calm and technique are the most skills which can bring you to the end of this amazing adventure. More talkings than the older games, less bugs than Dark Souls (finally!) and less framerate losses shows how the development team have worked hard to make it more suitable even if the difficulty is ever to the top. I'm not going to spoiler anything, but I could suggest this game to the most hardcore gamers. This game is not for causal or impatient gamers.
Great game and loving every minute of it
Dark Souls is Dark Souls! I think this one is a little bit easier on you in some ways (leveling isn't such a pain) and a lot of actions have been streamlined (consuming items, repairing weapons). Incredible game, just like the first. I do kind of miss the storytelling of DS1, though. I really enjoyed the mystery world and the characters in it. DS2 still delivers, but not as much as I had hoped for. Still better than 99% of games out there and has excellent replay value (Try Deprived....Visions of misery). If you like Dark Souls, then you need to get this. If you've never played Dark Souls then you REALLY need to get this.
Epic game fantastic challenge.. Everithing u can ask at one videogame!!
Good game and more of the same as Dark souls. Does not have the same feeling as Dark Souls but well worth the time and effort.
The eery and mistycal atmosphere of dark souls make a return in this amazing sequels. The online component has also been improved and it's now possible to pvp in an apposite arena. the difficulty it's always high but never frustrating. You will die but you'll enjoy doing it.
This is a great game.it has a soul and a unique spirit. Dark Souls 2 is special and fits perfectly to the Soul series.
Great item, great price
The most challenging game ever, Almost 150 hours of pure duel techincs to complete the game, and then, it starts again in NG+ (new game) , NG++ etc increasing difficulty. So... you'lll never need a new game for months... A++++. PS, Mine came with a nice limited edition comic book. thanks ZAVII!
Dark Souls 2 is immensely enjoyable and very deep, despite faltering in the story department and in some game design elements.
After finally receiving the game on the Tuesday following the release date (thanks Zavvi) I am thoroughly enjoying it. Firstly, the mechanics. You can hit stuff with your weapons. However the same can be said of the enemies. Except not quite the same because they tend to hit you, not enemies. You may find that the enemies are particularly good at hitting you and if this is the case I would recommend getting better at hitting them until they die. Use many souls. When you kill an enemy you take their souls and they make you stronger. Don't lose those souls because you need them. If you die, go find your body and get your souls back. Failing that you'll lose them all. If you lost a lot of souls you'll feel like a right silly plonker, I'll tell you what Light many bonfires to make a checkpoint for when you die. You can also fast travel from bonfire to bonfire. If you don't do that then, psht, what you doin'? Don't be a silly Sandra, get all up in that bonfires grill and light that sucker up. Secondly the graphics and design. This is where the game shines. The graphics are pretty bad technically but luckily Dark Souls 2 has got your back on that one. The designs are all kinds of sexy. Except they aren't very sexy usually because everything looks quite ugly and dead. But in a good way. Graphics bad - design sexy ugly and dead but good. Thirdly, I'm hungry and need food so I'm gonna wrap this review up with an overall 10 out of 10 yes goods. Buy it unless you don't want to. But I say you should want to buy it so start wanting to buy this game now damnit!
Welcome back to the unforgiving world of Dark Souls... the path will be long and tortuous but you will be rewarded in the end... eventually... Truly the hardest game of the year but if your are tough enough to accept the challenge, you will be victorious and respected by all! In comparison with the previous game, this one is incredibly vast and varied. You will come back to areas already crossed to unlocked all its secrets and find new items. The coop mode as been slightly improved for your friends to join you but still perfectible. Good luck to you all in your journey to salvation!
Probably being the last great game on the PS3/360 consoles, Dark Souls 2 is quite simply breathtaking in it's scope. This game offers a diverse open world and in depth character design system, so the experience is different for everyone. It must be said however that the game can be tough for those who are new to the series but the difficulty is not insurmountable with a little practice. There are also in-game items that can help tone down the difficulty of the game.One of the most innovative features of the game is it's enigmatic multiplayer functions. Allowing players to summon and be summoned by each other for a variety of exciting PVP or PVE and Co-op gameplay options All in all, the games in the Souls series should all be part of your collection as they are some of the most ambitious games of the PS3/360 era, and Dark Souls 2 is a great entry point to the series. I give it 9 thumbs up

I hate my mortgage.
How’s that for today’s installment of Truths That Surprise No One?
No amount of rationalizations have ever made my mortgage seem palatable. I know our interest rate is low. I know we bought at a great time. I know that my money could be working harder for me in the market.
But I also know that homeownership with a mortgage is like being a renter who is still responsible for, well, everything.
So I’m determined to pay off our mortgage early. I hate to set too precise a number because I don’t want to set us up for disappointment. But the loose goal is to be mortgage-free by the time I’m 40.
And we’re getting close. That’s in no small part due to the sheer amount of hustle that we put in last year. We grew out income, we cut more expenses, and it let us do some really amazing things.
We both maxed out our Roths again last year, and we put over $33,000 toward our mortgage too.
It was a good year.
The Interest – $4,834.84
Previously, I would grin and bear it through all the lectures about how my mortgage is actually useful come tax time. Think of the interest you can write off. Now, thanks to the new tax laws, people have dialed that interest talk down.
But I still think a lot about it. And it mostly just makes me feel a little ill.
Thankfully, the interest we pay each year continues to drop.
This past year, $4834.84 went to interest. To interest. To interest. To the bank. I know I’m paying for the privilege of letting them lend me their money or whatever else is written on the Kool Aid packet my mortgage broker was serving.
But the lower our mortgage total gets, the less comfortable I am with paying any interest. I’m trying to do the mathematically-prudent thing by riding it out and investing alone the way, but finance is never just about numbers.

Still, let’s celebrate while we can. We paid a lot of money toward our mortgage, but it’s less than it has been. That’s a win.
The Principal – $28,938.46
That is a really big number. It’s a really, really big number when you remember that my husband and I are both teachers.
We have good jobs. We are paid well. I will earn six figures before I retire, but I won’t cross that threshold anytime soon.

It feels incredible to share that we paid almost $30,000 to the principal balance. And it is incredible.
However, it’s also important to remember that we are already on the hook for $12,000 a year. Of course, that’s principal and interest combined. But often times people ask me how we can afford to even put a thousand dollars a month towards debt (because your mortgage is a debt, people!). Honestly, we don’t have a choice.
Lessons Learned from Paying Down $33K in Debt
We paid down a bunch of debt this past year. In fact, it’s our biggest debt payoff year yet. We’ve also had some impressive years since I started blogging.
- Actually, We Paid Off $24K in Debt Last Year – 2015
- $27K in Debt Destroyed this Year – 2016
- How We Slayed $30K Worth of Debt in One Year – 2017
With all that money sliding out of our bank account, you can bet I learned a thing or two.
It just does. That’s the biggest lesson that anyone could ever learn. Period.
Ok, I’ll elaborate. Debt is difficult because it means that your money isn’t really yours. In a fantasyland, this is where I tell you that I am borrowing a page from The Rich Person’s Playbook, in which we take on reasonable debt in order to make money from our money.
But let’s get real.
Having an extra $1,000 a month is the real goal here. Might that mean investing? Sure. But it also might mean taking a vacation or paying cash for my son’s braces (he did not win the gene lottery when it comes to overbites, I fear). Being mortgage free feels like freedom, and that’s what we’re working toward. We want more choices in our lives, and having more money and fewer financial obligations is the perfect recipes for that.
RELATED POST: How I Found Financial Freedom Without the FI
Both is Usually Better…Or Just as Good
I will never understand how or why people think they have to make a single financial choice. There’s no reason why you can’t put extra toward your mortgage and invest.
If it helps you to laser-focus in on something, great! But for us, doing both works out well mathematically and emotionally. Our game plan for this year looks almost the same as last year. We start the year putting more of our extra money into our Roths, but we still put some extra toward our mortgage. Then, once our Roths are maxed thanks to extra paycheck months (hooray for March!), stipends, tax returns, and other side hustles, we double down on our mortgage.
This might change somewhat as we explore the different 403(b) options that my husband now has, but embracing both extra debt payoffs and investing is what feels right financially for us.
Finals Thoughts on Our Mortgage Payoff Progress
My 40th birthday is less than 8 years away. The thought of turning 40 is pretty unbelievable. The thought of turning 40 and not having a mortgage is the perfect fuel to keep going on this financial journey.
That’s how I know it’s the right call for us.
It’s hard to stay strong in suburbia. The land of subway tile and shiplap. The place where kitchen remodels are only complete if it includes rearranging your entire first floor, load-bearing walls be damned.
We know the money choices we are making are unusual. It’s tempting to fall in line with Joneses sometimes. But the fact that we have so many of our friends and neighbors lapped when it comes to paying off our last debt makes the hard work worth it.
So Tell Me…Where are you on your debt paydown journey? How can I cheer you on?

Paper of the Month: the philosophy behind the competition
Research generates new scientific findings –and thus progress. In medicine, this progress has a concrete goal: it should benefit patients. Novel findings should ultimately lead to improved diagnostics, new therapies or new drugs.
In order for this to function, a "transmission belt" is required: the publication of newly acquired knowledge in scientific journals ("papers"). This leads to the dissemination of such knowledge into the scientific community and implements the requirement of any research to be transparent and verifiable. In this sense, publications represent a scientific "currency" for the performance of each university and research institution.
The Medical Faculty of the University of Münster is proud that its scientists make an annual contribution of around 800 publications to the advancement of medical knowledge, ranging from concise essays to extensively specialized text books. Scientific publications from Münster appear in world-renowned journals such as "Nature", "New England Journal of Medicine" or "Lancet" on a regular basis. Yet, especially in this age of ever more economized science and the trend to "rank" everything, it should not be forgotten that the advancement of knowledge cannot be measured solely by "impact factor" (IF) and citation. As journals with the highest IF often have a limited range of publication topics, entire subjects are neglected. Conversely, although a scientific breakthrough for a rare disease may affect only a few hundred people around the world, it’s discovery is worth more than any impact factor.
With the "Paper of the Month", the Faculty of Medicine is taking a different approach. The award is designed to showcase and appreciate the outstanding research continually generated by its approximately 2,000 scientists and researchers, which is documented through publication. The award is intended to select a publication, which has for various reasons come to the attention of the Dean's Office and present it to the faculty as well as the general public. Selection criteria beyond the IF are also explicitly the originality of the work, relevance of the findings and the significance these findings have for our community.
"Paper of the Month" can be awarded to a scientific paper published in the respective month from one or more members of the Faculty of Medicine; for further information concerning the nomination procedure, see the faculty's intranet. The most current “Paper of the Month” and a list of all previous POMs can be found here.
We wish you success with your application.

One of the biggest considerations that most people have when looking for an apartment for rent in Levittown PA is the cost of rent. Other factors like the location of the apartment, the number of bedrooms, and the amenities that are available usually take a backseat to the overall cost when people are deciding on a place to live.
If you are on the hunt for a new apartment, you don’t necessarily have to make sacrifices to find a place that fits in your budget. There are a lot of methods you can use to save money on apartment rent in Levittown PA. By using these methods, you should have a much easier time finding a cheap apartment that has everything that you need.
When you are looking at apartments, one of the most important things to consider is your total cost of living. It is easy to fall into the trap of thinking that the apartment with the lowest monthly rental price is the best deal. In fact, however, when you consider the total cost of living, you may find that it is more affordable to rent a place the costs a little bit more. The easiest way to understand this concept is with an example.
Imagine that you find a great apartment that is listed at the lower end of your budget. It has the right number of bedrooms and bathrooms and seems to meet all of your needs. At first, it may seem like a great deal. When you look a little bit closer, however, things may not be quite what they seem.
Imagine how much more expensive the true cost of rent would be if you were also responsible for paying for your monthly utilities. Adding in the cost of power, water, sewer, and garbage can significantly increase your monthly expenses. If you have to pay for parking, the cost goes even higher. Now, imagine that the apartment is located quite a ways out of town. Paying for gas for your daily commute as an additional expense. Before you know it, all of these extra expenses can push your total cost of living above the upper end of your budget.
Now, imagine that there is a slightly more expensive apartment. This apartment, however, includes your monthly utilities in the cost of rent. It also has free parking available and is located close to your job. Even though the monthly rental cost is higher, you still may wind up paying less for the space, simply because you don’t have all of those extra expenses.
Along with looking for the best deal, you can also save money on apartment rent in Levittown PA by living with roommates. If you are willing to share your common living area with a few other people, you can save a ton of money on rent, making this one of the easiest ways to save. The best part is, living with roommates can be fun – especially if you have a lot in common with each other.

February 5, 2010
Precinct caucuses were held Tuesday evening allowing Minnesota's political parties to take the first step toward endorsing candidates for governor. State Rep. Marty Seifert dominated the Republican straw poll with just over 50 percent of votes, and Rep. Tom Emmer following with 39 percent. The remaining five GOP candidates garnered less than 10 percent each. At the DFL caucuses House Speaker Margaret Anderson Kelliher and Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak were the top choices with 20 and 22 percent in the straw poll. Next highest was the uncommitted vote at 15 percent. The remaining nine candidates did not break the 10 percent mark. Two DFL candidates have announced they will run in the primary. Former U.S. Senator Mark Dayton said the public should choose the DFL endorsed candidate in the primary election and was not listed on the DFL straw ballot. Former House DFL Leader Matt Entenza will also run in the primary. Former DFL State Senator Steve Kelly withdrew from the race after a poor showing in the straw poll. Other business at the caucus included discussion of the party platform, election of delegates to district and county conventions and from there on to the state conventions in April.
Legislative Session Begins
State lawmakers convened Thursday to face the daunting task of creating jobs for the large number of unemployed Minnesotans, and addressing the state's $1.2 billion budget shortage. As session opened, DFLers proposed a $1 billion bonding bill, much larger than the $685 million bill Governor Pawlenty introduced last month, with the aim of passing it in both the House and the Senate by the middle of the month.
The 2010 legislative session is likely to have additional political undertones as all 201 seats will be on the ballot this November and a handful of members have higher aspirations. Eight legislators are still among the nearly two dozen candidates vying to replace the Governor, including Margaret Anderson Kelliher and Marty Seifert who have announced their retirements. Senator Tarryl Clark, who is running for Congress in the Sixth District, has also announced her retirement. Meanwhile, the Governor remains in the national spotlight and may be considering a run for President. Progress will have to be made because, constitutionally, session must end by May 17.
Other High Profile Issues
An estimated 700 supporters of General Assistance Medical Care, or GAMC, rallied under the Capitol dome on Thursday to advocate for the reinstatement of the program eliminated by Governor Pawlenty in an attempt to balance the budget. The plan currently covers about 35,000 low-income residents, some of whom will be transferred to Minnesota Care. This decision that has not been popular with participants or healthcare providers. Lawmakers and stakeholders have drafted bills to reach a solution before the GAMC program runs out.
Talk of a new stadium for the Vikings is generating a lot of excitement after the team's near trip to the Super Bowl. Governor Pawlenty suggested, in an interview on Wednesday, using the lottery as a way to fund a new stadium without raising taxes.

Begin no Shimauta: Omoto Takeo 3
Okinawan band Begin celebrate their 20th anniversary this year. They have also just released the third in a series of short albums of island music. This one is entitled Begin no Shimauta: Omoto Takeo 3 and it comes eight years after the second in the series, and ten years after the original Omoto Takeo CD. All three releases are on the Teichiku label.
Led by their affable singer and sanshin player Eisho Higa, the trio are enormously popular all around the Ryukyu Islands and in mainland Japan. Higa, a native of the island of Ishigaki, grew up alongside musicians such as Yasukatsu Oshima and Yukito Ara who both went on to become well-known in the world of Okinawan minyo. Higa’s Begin followed a different path more influenced by mainstream Western pop and rock, but their first visit back to their roots on the Omoto Takeo album in 2000 was a great success. The CD also included the song ‘Nada Sousou’ which went on to become one of the best-loved songs in Okinawa following Rimi Natsukawa’s cover version.
Omoto Takeo was always going to be a hard act to follow and the second in the series was less interesting. It would be nice to think that the eight year gap between that and this new release enabled Begin to work out some startling new arrangements or maybe come up with some cracking new songs. Unfortunately, that isn’t the case and Omoto Takeo 3, while pleasant enough, doesn’t break any new ground and sounds more like a collection of songs that didn’t quite make it onto the earlier releases. Its highlights are two versions of the song ‘Pamaya yunta’ and the lively ‘Haryu sen’. For the most part though, Begin stay in the safety zone with predictable, crowd-pleasing versions of Okinawan music, such as ‘Anmaa gaman no Orion beer’ in which they celebrate the popular Okinawan brew.
Omoto Takeo 3 will inevitably sell well in the Ryukyus and should satisfy Begin’s many fans. But, if you haven’t heard them before, the original Omoto Takeo from a decade ago is a much better buy.

An off-duty police officer was shot six times in the parking lot of a Texas gentleman’s club late Tuesday night in an alleged road rage spat turned violent.
The officer was transported to a local hospital in critical condition after taking a spray of bullets to the torso, but is expected to survive, San Antonio Police Chief William McManus said.
McManus said both the officer and the 25-year-old shooter were driving on a nearby road when the shooter accused the cop of cutting him off, leading both cars to pull off into the parking lot of the AllStars Gentlemen’s Sports Club in San Antonio.
As both men emerged from their vehicles in the jiggle joint’s lot, the shooter fired, striking the officer, an 11-year veteran of the SAPD, six times.
The officer returned fire after retrieving his weapon from his car, and hit the shooter two to three times, McManus said. A female passenger in the suspect’s car received a graze wound to the head.

The police has arrested two men in Virar area of Maharashtra’s Palghar for allegedly attacking a 28-year-old constable while he was on duty, an official said on Monday.
The constable, Dhanaji Ghorpade, was returning to the Virar police station after bandobust duty on Saturday night when he spotted two men consuming liquor near a car parked in the area’s Mohak locality, police inspector Yunus Shaikh said. When the policeman questioned them about drinking in the public place, the duo got annoyed and allegedly attacked him.
One of the men also allegedly bit the constable’s finger, he said. Subsequently, the other policemen who were accompanying Ghorpade nabbed the two men – identified as Yogesh Lokhande and Satish Unde, both aged 24, Shaikh said.
The two accused were yesterday arrested and booked under Indian Penal Code (IPC) Sections 353 (assault or criminal force to deter public servant from discharge of his duty), 332 (voluntarily causing hurt to deter public servant from his duty), 504 (intentional insult with an intent to provoke breach of peace) and 506 (criminal intimidation), the police official added.

Although vaccination is the best way to keep your beloved pets healthy, you can stave off diseases without it. The first step towards preventing diseases is to establish a healthy immune system. If your pooch has a strong immune system, he is resistant to most pathogens.
The good news is, there are holistic ways to prevent diseases! In today’s post, we are listing down ways to keep your pooch disease-free using 100% all-natural solutions:
Puppies are born with an active immune system. They become resistant to common pathogens by ingesting their mother’s milk. So the first thing you need to do is to get your puppies to drink their mother’s milk to prevent diseases. By the time the pup has weaned itself off milk (usually with the help of the mother), his immune system is not only fully-developed but also active. His immune system makes the dog resistant to all types of common diseases including deadly parvo and enteritis. As long as you keep your dog’s immunity strong, he or she will remain healthy without vaccines.
There’s no doubt about it, what you put in your pet’s food bowl will affect his overall health! Low-quality pet food is also low in essential nutrients your pet needs to fight common diseases. High-quality pet food contains a balanced level of protein, carbohydrates and nutrients to promote better health. So always choose wisely, in terms of pet food. It helps if you can whip up dog-friendly dishes every now and then. You can always search online for dog food recipes.
Improving Living Conditions
Just like diet, the living conditions of your pet are extremely important to ward off diseases. The dog should be free to wander, sniff around and explore his surroundings. He must have access to clean drinking water and nutritious food. He must have a warm spot to sleep. Give your dog a lot of time to roam around the yard but make each session supervised. For cats, they need access to the sun, lots of clean water and toys to keep the mind stimulated.
Boost Mental Health
Dogs are pack animals. If they are left alone on their own, they become depressed and destructive. If the animal’s mental health suffers, his immune system weakens. This makes him prone to diseases. To keep your dog happy, give it lots of love! Go out for walks, cuddle with your pooch and spend as much time as you can with your pet.
Better Health Care
Here’s a fact, most medications do not address the root cause of the disease, they only mask the symptoms. Most drugs are toxic to the liver and affect the animal’s DNA. This could lead to more health problems in the future. Instead of having your pet endure shots after shots of drugs, ask the vet ways to improve your dog’s health without using medicine. Understand your pet’s needs rather than yours. Use natural health care products to inhibit diseases from worsening. All these steps can help improve a pet’s health!
