Hear what our customers have to say about our products
"This has got to be the brightest and best new product I've come across. We live in the country and walk our dog at 6:30am in the pitch black. The PupLight brightens the walk in more ways than one!"
"Bought a PupLight about a year ago. My wife and I both love it. Last week I was out with my Jack Russel Terrier. We were about to walk into our darkened garage but the PupLight lighted up a six foot rattle snake. We both stopped immeditely and got out of there. I don't know what would have happened if we didn't have the PupLight on our dog. It may have saved my life."
"I received a PupLight a while back. When hurricane Wilma struck, I put the PupLight on my dog to keep it safe. I used a conventional flashlight. My flashlight went out after about 6 hours, but the PupLight kept working, so I took it away from the dog and used it myself. It shined through the whole storm while our power was out on the same set of batteries. This has got to be one of the best products I've seen. I love it!"
"I like it alot. I use it all the time because I know it's protecting me and my dog. People comment when I'm out with my dog that they think the PupLight is really a great idea. The thing I like best about the product is its construction - I've dropped it several times: I even dropped it in the dog's water bowl and it still works fine! It's really gotten a work-out."
David, Palatine, IL
"The PupLight sure is cool! We have five dogs - the dogs think it's great. I put the PupLight on the dog that's a runner and the other dogs follow her around the yard. I always put the PupLight on my runner because I know it keeps her safe and you certainly can find her when she gets out. In fact, the neighbors call me and tell me. That little dog with the bouncing light just went by my house".
Michael, Niles, IL
"Really a great little thing! The neighbors are asking about it - waiting for it to be in stores so they can get one."
Carol, Algonquin, IL
"My mother uses it all the time. She really likes it. Even if she's not walking the dog, she uses it herself. I think she's going to buy another one".
Daughter of Julie, Antioch, IL
"PupLight is really idea for a safer way to walk your dog. It lights the way quite well and cars can see you in plenty of time. It's also a great help when it comes to picking up after your dog."
Sandi, Crystal Lake, IL
"My husband uses it all the time on the dog. He says it probably saved his life and our dog's life because a car almost hit him but then it stopped because it saw the light. It's really a great thing to have".
Amy, Northbrook, IL
"We have two Golden Retrievers. We take them out for walks at night with their PupLights. The PupLights really light things up well. The dogs love them. They keep you safe because you can tell cars see you. People come up to us and tell how great they think the PupLights are."
David, Villa Park, IL
"Love them! Best product I ever bought (for a pet), I mean they're great for safety. We walk almost every night. The PupLights are generating a lot of interest down here."
Julie, Mt Juliet, TN
"If dogs could dance, that's what my Lhasa Apso, Scooter, is doing when he wears his PupLight! He loves it."
Pam, Glen Ellyn, IL
"I bought both my babies (Dobermans) PupLights! ..Hunters and wild animals are a real threat to pets where I live...These little lights protect them! I keep them on all night."
Karen, Helen, GA
"My dog walker likes it because she can see dogs coming AT her dog ... people open front doors and let dogs out without a leash; the big dogs aren't a problem.. the small dogs are. She likes the fact that she can see them now."
Charlene, Denver, CO
"I love that light! I have a little black dog (schnauzer/terrier mix) I can see her when she's out in the backyard now. Actually, I can see Scruffy a quarter mile away! She's a small dog but she's very comfortable with her PupLight."
Jill, Long Beach, WA
"I love my PupLight. I really like how bright it is. The added visibility makes me feel safe when I walk my two dogs at night (Golden Retrievers). I also like the fact that it stays in place and doesn't roll around. I let my sister borrow it while we were on vacation. She really likes it too...she las a little black mutt that is very difficult to see in the dark. We put it on him and could keep track of where he was at when he was out in the backyard."
Nancy, Madison, NJ
"It's the best! We have Bufo Toads in our area...they're poisonous; they secrete a toxic substance which can kill a pet. I have two Shelties who are very prey oriented. We were out walking last night and I saw a toad on the road before my dogs did. I was able to rein them in before they went after the toad. PupLight is convenient, effective, a great safety feature and AWESOME!"
Julie, Davie, FL
"I absolutely love my puplight. I let my dog out in the morning when I get up, turn on his PupLight, and I can see where he goes. We live out in the country on 3 acres, so without it it's hard to tell where the dog goes. If I need a flashlight for something, all I do is call the dog, and pull it off his neck...no more looking for a flashlight, it comes to me! Another added bonus, since the dog sleeps in our bedroom, it's a great nightlight as well."
Art, Garden Prairie, IL

Learn All About food packaging Australia
Food packaging Australia has made waves for its innovative and creative designs. Packaging Australia has been expanding rapidly, expanding from Sydney to Melbourne. The idea of transforming products into a state of the art packaging is spreading like wildfire across the country. It seems that this company is at the forefront of packaging innovation.
A good percentage of the food products are perishable, so it is important to keep them fresh. This is where food packaging Australia steps in and enables the safe storage of the products for storage periods ranging from a few days to more than a year.
The idea is to make them appealing to the consumer and promote brand awareness for better results. A good product with a strong image is better to market.
The packaging includes the storage of foods to enable them to be packaged well for an extended period of time. They also use high-density polyethylene to make sure that the products stay dry.
All the products that are stored under the food packaging Australia label are made with other food-safe and high-temperature resistant material. These include layers of sturdy but flexible plastic as well as stainless steel parts.
After they are manufactured, all of the products undergo a food safety certification before they are released to the market. If the manufacturing process is thorough, then it ensures that the products are safe for consumers.
Packaging Australia supplies companies that make packaging materials. They are on the lookout for new materials that can be used in packaging to improve the overall quality and effect of the products.
Some are also made with unique colours and designs. Even though they look good, food products kept in polyethylene does not react with food additives and colouring, which helps them retain their crisp, bright appearance.
Other ways that food packaging Australia makes it easier for people to store food is by making them with a thicker bottom to prevent the food from falling out of the container or even breaking down the original formula. There are lots of details that are written on the boxes so that they can be easily found in the food product that is lost or stolen.
Food packaging Australia also makes sure that the food remains fresh, by using only high-quality ingredients. So even though it’s fresh, it can still retain its great taste.
They have unique logo designs that can be embroidered on the packaging to show how important they are. Since these products are essential in the packaging industry, they need to stand out, which is why their design is so important.
Food packaging Australia believes in offering its customers the best quality products possible. This way, they can create a better life for everyone involved, no matter what kind of business they run.

PITTSBURGH, PA (PRWEB) December 16, 2016
"I had several foot surgeries, and sometimes I had pins protruding from the ends of my toes," said an inventor from Peabody, Mass. "I wore a boot while my foot healed, but it was an open-toed boot, which left the pins at risk of being bumped. I invented this more protective surgical boot accessory."
She created a prototype for the patent-pending PROTECTOE to protect the foot and toes from bumps and bangs. The accessory prevents anything from coming into contact with the healing foot and toes. This promotes a more rapid recovery.
The unit enables the wearer to avoid painful contact with hard surfaces and avoids further trauma to the healing foot and toes, which alleviates fears and concerns. Additionally, the invention provides added peace of mind while recuperating.
The original design was submitted to the Boston office of InventHelp. It is currently available for licensing or sale to manufacturers or marketers. For more information, write Dept. 15-BMA-4743, InventHelp, 217 Ninth Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15222, or call (412) 288-1300 ext. 1368.

Frank Klepacki (born May 25, 1974) is an American musician, video game music composer and sound director best known for his work on the Command & Conquer series. Having learned to play drums as a child, he joined Westwood Studios as a composer when he was only 17 years old. He scored several games there, including the Lands of Lore series, Westwood Studios' Dune games, the The Legend of Kyrandia series, Blade Runner, and the Command & Conquer series. His work in Command & Conquer: Red Alert won two awards.
He lives in Las Vegas, where he has shaped a solo career and played and produced for several local bands. His personal and band work touches upon several genres, including orchestral, rock music, hip hop music, soul music, and funk. He has dubbed the style of music he writes as "Rocktronic". His work has appeared in various media, including the Spike TV program The Ultimate Fighter.
Klepacki is currently the audio director of Petroglyph games, where he scored Star Wars: Empire at War. Frank Klepacki was contacted to score Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars, but was too busy with Petroglyph to take the project, and declined to mention the offer. In regards to his commitment to the C&C franchise, Klepacki most recently composed three songs, including "Hell March 3", for Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 by Electronic Arts Los Angeles. His most recent solo CD is entitled "Conquering 20 Years", a musical retrospective of his career so far, featuring tracks from the style of 8-bit composition all the way to symphonic metal.
When composing for video games, Frank Klepacki spends a few days to compose and master one song on average. He feels writing music for games is somewhat difficult as only early software builds are available to play; he sometimes must compose songs based on vague descriptions. Composing for cut scenes is easier by comparison, and Klepacki enjoys drawing inspiration and direction from game design art. Nonetheless, he prefers to compose for a game throughout its development rather than write songs for a finished product. He feels that game music has been harder to compose than film or solo music as he must compose for all situations a player may discover or engineer. Klepacki maintains templates with a base of common instruments prepared for sudden bursts of inspiration, as he resents "having technical issues…as an obstacle."

Came into the city with high school daughter who can't stop raving about the hotel. We arrived late at night in the pouring rain. The hotel clerk helped us unload and offered to take the car to the garage and bring back the parking pass. While the parking was a bit pricey it was cheaper than most other hotels and this was so convenient. The room was very eclectic, newly remodeled, super clean, great amenities and no smell as someone mentioned. Didn't see the scary elevator. Left the hotel in another rainstorm and again the staff was super accommodating. Would stay there again in a minute!

The Storyteller: Witches #2 “The Snow Witch”
Written and Illustrated by Kyla Vanderklugt
Published by Archaia/Boom! Studios
The Jim Henson Company is no stranger to incredible storytelling, and this year they’ve revived The Storyteller. Originally an American/ British mini-series from the late 1980’s, The Storyteller featured an old storyteller who retold European folk tales to his rather sarcastic dog. This year The Storyteller seeks out folk tales that center on witches from the world over.
In the second issue of the four part series, The Storyteller:Witches, Kyla Vanderklugt promises to make your blood run cold with her own spin on the Japanese folk tale “Snow Woman.”
The “Snow Witch” begins with a woodcutter, Old Mosaku, and his young apprentice, Minokichi, who get caught in a snow storm. As they hunker down in an abandoned shelter for the night, Old Mosaku tells Minokichi about the dreaded Snow Witch that lives in the mountains. Later that night, the Snow Witch appears and steals Mosaku’s soul. She spares Minokichi on one condition, he never tells anyone what happened that night. Minokichi keeps his promise despite the avalanche of questions that greet him upon his return to the village.
The following year Minokichi meets a beautiful young woman named Oyuki, who is looking for a place to stay the night. Since there are no inn’s in the village,Minokichi offers his home to Oyuki, and in no time at all, the two become lovers. Life is wonderful. But then… the winters begin to grow longer, and Minokichi’s health declines. Everyone blames the cruel Snow Witch for the cursing the village. However, Minokichi continues to see the Snow Witch as a being capable of mercy.
“Snow Witch” is unique in that it is printed horizontally across the page rather than the standard vertical layout. By flipping the book on its side, Vanderklugt alters the way panels shape the page, effectively generating toe curling fear in a tale that, in the end, is not entirely terrifying. However, since parts of the action is withheld from the reader, suspense continues to build until the page is turned. Only then are readers allowed to breathe a brief sigh of relief.
Those reading a digital copy of the story will definitely get a cinematic vibe as they scroll down the page. Vanderklugt’s illustrations add an animated feel of the tale, and creates a layer of foreboding as readers speculate Minokichi’s fate.
I encourage those of you interested in The Storyteller series to buy the physical copy, because there is nothing quite like holding the book and feeling the weight of the story in your hands.

Russian missile failure
By Martin Sieff
WASHINGTON, Feb. 18 (UPI) -- Russian President Vladimir Putin has enjoyed extraordinary success in rebuilding his shattered country over the past four years, but the humiliating public fiasco of two failed missile launches in a single naval exercise this week shows he still has very far to go.
The military exercises in the Barents Sea were intensely ambitious and involved the test firing of several nuclear-capable intercontinental ballistic missiles. But in a test Tuesday, one missile to be launched from the nuclear submarine Novomoskovsk either failed to fire, or even worse, fell apart right after it was launched.
Russian Navy sources later cited by the official RIA Novosti news agency and the private, but still respectful, Interfax agency said the missiles were never actually launched but the exercise was aborted through an automatic shutdown transmitted by satellite relay. Later, yet another conflicting explanation was floated: the launch was never intended to be "actual" but was only "a "virtual" or cybernetic test.
Wednesday, however, another Typhoon class strategic nuclear sub, the Karelia launched a very real ICBM. But it then developed erratic fluctuations and self-destructed, according to Russian accounts.
The problems could not have come at a more embarrassing moment for the Russian Navy. Putin, proudly clad in naval officer's gear and insignia, was observing the exercises in person.
Contrary to some media speculation, the problems with the missile launches look unlikely to make any serious dent in Putin's overwhelming personal popularity or his prospects for a first-round romp to victory for a second successive term of office in Russia's presidential elections scheduled for March 14.
Polls show the president with a commanding 70 to 80 percent of the vote and the only serious candidate. Wages have been paid regularly throughout his term of office and Russia's currency has retained its value. The country still has a vast way to go to make up for the catastrophic collapse in general standards of living under Putin's predecessor Boris Yeltsin, but the trend has been steadily positive throughout his first four years in power.
Also, Russia has established a secure and respected role in the world. The alarming rapid drift toward the literal disintegration of the country under Yeltsin and his predecessor, last Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev, has been energetically and successfully reversed. It will take more than embarrassing snafus in a naval exercise to seriously dent that record of achievement.
But the exercises still meant a lot to Putin. He did not remotely need them to get re-elected, but there was a strong element of self-congratulation and celebration surrounding them and his high-profile involvement. They were clearly meant to put the seal on his efforts to restore Russia's pride and power over his first presidential term. He made sure they were heavily covered by state television. When the first missile failed to fire Tuesday, Channel 1 TV in Moscow never referred to the incidents at all. Instead, they showed Putin meeting with senior naval officers during the exercises.
However, the problems highlighted the degree to which Russia's strategic military power continues to erode because it lacks the industrial base and modern high-tech resources necessary to maintain it.
Pavel Felgenhauer, one of Russia's most respected and influential military analysts, predicted in a Moscow Times analysis published Tuesday that many of these problems might be revealed during the tests.
"The nuclear forces are armed with very old ICBMs," he wrote. "Some have been in service in underground silos for over 27 years. ... The number of ICBM replacements is inadequate. Each year the ICBM inventory is getting older and older. The life span of most Russian ICBMs, as guaranteed by their producers, has long since expired."
Indeed, one of the missiles that failed to fire was reported to be a RSM-53 -- NATO designation SS-N-23 -- that was first developed in 1979 and phased into service more than 20 years ago.
Felgenhauer had a very different take on the exercises than the image of a reviving, still potent Russia that Putin wanted to project. "The main point of the exercise is to test aging ICBMs and bombers and the war game scenario is also antiquated, involving the West (the United States) as the potential foe," he wrote.
"The military is caught in a time warp: Its hardware is old, its strategic ideas are outdated, it does not want to change nor does it seem able to -- irrespective of what happens politically in Russia or the world."
There was another reason the exercise was held, Felgenhauer said.
"If a test firing of an aging ICBM is successful, the warranted life span of all the other ICBMs of the same class is extended by a year. Typically, one of the oldest ICBMs of a class is launched every year. If the launch fails or there are serious problems, it is repeated. ... That is how it has been now for a decade."
Putin lost no time after Tuesday's failures to try to focus his people's attention on the future renewal of their military might rather than its still enfeebled condition. Speaking at the Plesetsk cosmodrome in northern Russia Wednesday, he announced ambitious plans to upgrade Russia's Strategic Missile Forces with a new generation of weapons and said he was considering building new anti-ballistic missile, or ABM defense systems, such as the one the Bush administration is now developing for the United States.
But such weapons are years, if not a decade away. This week's problems and failures in the Barents Sea show that Russia has far to go before reclaiming its old, formidable place in the world.

A New Jersey couple who lost custody of their first three kids after giving them Nazi-inspired names has been denied the right to take home their fourth child, a newborn boy they named Hons.
Heath and Deborah Campbell's other children - Adolf Hitler Campbell, JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell and Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie Campbell - are in foster care. On Monday, the Campbells went to family court in their hometown of Flemington, N.J,. in a bid to regain custody of Hons, who they say was taken from them by state child welfare officials hours after Deborah gave birth on Thursday,reported myfoxphilly.com.
Hons is still in the hospital, but the couple has been barred from seeing the baby, they told FOX. Heath Campbell said police came into the nursery and took Hons without a court order.
“They kidnapped my kid,” Campbell said. “I’ve been sleeping with his little blanket from the hospital.”

Since the unique House of Representatives model of the FHA Modernization Act handed manner again in September 2007, one component of that bill has precipitated me more than slightly little bit of concern. Also, a bill on Mortgage Reform is being worked on. HUD’s new Good Religion Estimates and different reforms including new Federal Reserve Board rules dealing with unfair and deceptive practices are forthcoming. Even more closely opposed was a proposal to ascertain a statewide database of payday loans, giving both the trade and the state a method of taking a look at how many payday loans a borrower already had when she or he utilized for an additional.
The Senate Finance Committee is the Senate counterpart to the Home Ways and Means Committee. One thing we do know, though, is that the invoice will create a board referred to as the “Independent Medical Advisory Board”-a government paperwork tasked with chopping well being care prices.
By a letter addressed to the Speaker of the Home of Representatives, titled ‘Communication of Change of Political Occasion’ and dated the 18tth December, 2013, the 37 defecting Federal Lawmakers explained that their defection from the PDP to the APC was on account of the internal crisis within the PDP.
In fact, national medical malpractice tort reform is all but guaranteed as the government’s curiosity in managing well being care costs moves from theoretical to actual. The choice in AGF V.

The media is awash with the news of the defection of 37 PDP members of the House of Representatives to the APC. One incentive the federal government can present to these medical doctors-perhaps the only incentive-is to assist in reducing malpractice insurance prices by limiting medical malpractice lawsuits and damages.

Kerry is a big part of the Clearbox social media team and when she’s not crafting the next perfect post for Bushmills Irish Whiskey, she’s reading up on the next big thing in social.
Following her last article about who we really are on social media, this time she’s asking if we’re all really friends online...
One of the great things about social media is how many people we can connect with at the click of a button.
For me personally, social media has been an incredible tool that has allowed me to keep in touch with many of the friends I made whist studying abroad. I’ve been able to maintain friendships and keep up to date with their lives. Where are they living now? What are they doing? Don’t worry, social media will tell me.
That being said, do I really know, or have any form of interaction with a large majority of my Facebook ‘friends’? Absolutely not.
For many people, social media is about publicly connecting with each other and Ciarán McMahon’s book, The Psychology of Social Media has got me thinking about why we make these connections and if they truly benefit us.
Some studies suggest that the reason we connect with other people on social media is to gain social capital. The idea that the more people we know, the more valuable information and opportunities we gain. This social capital can be in the form of the support you get from your family or close friends, or can come from more casual acquaintances in the form of general information. Both types of relationships tend to exist within our social media networks.
Different social media services suit particular types of relationships. Each social media platform offers a distinct experience to its users in terms of how they connect with each other. Twitter is about fleeting conversations and more casual interactions, whereas Snapchat and WhatsApp are all about forming deeper, more meaningful connections.
One thing is certain - social media makes it extremely easy to connect with a large number of people, but meaningfully connecting with people still takes time. Ultimately our connections on social media are more often about quantity over quality.
Social media platforms allow us to gather our connections in one place but largely, they don’t let us organise them by importance. Think back to the days of BEBO’s Top 16 and how painstaking that experience was. We don’t necessarily want to prioritise these connections publicly. So, we often organise them by platform. Connecting with your boss on LinkedIn is absolutely fine - recommended, really. Connecting on Facebook, well that might feel a little different.
Does that make the content we post on each platform, to each audience, vastly different?
We have many connections on social media and we like to think we are posting our content for them. But are we really just posting for ourselves? After all, we never really know who is paying attention to us on social at any given time and therefore we post to somewhat of an imagined audience. We don’t know how our content is going to be perceived, how people are going to interact or if they are even going to see it.
The inability to segment our connections on social media often results in people posting a ‘lowest common denominator’ style message - we self-censor with the aim of saying something safe and inoffensive, consistent with our previous posts and political or professional opinion. Some would argue the opposite - they post purposefully controversial, or what they view as truthful, content on their social media, in order to ‘weed’ out their connections and create a ‘safe’ space for them to express their true opinion.
The increased number of more exclusive avenues through which to share content with our close connections, for example Instagram’s ‘close friends’ option on Stories highlights that even though we often have a vast number of connections on social, we still value our more meaningful close relationships.
I find it interesting that although we often seek a high number of connections on social media, when we take a step back and look at it, what are we really gaining from them? What value do they add to our lives? And ultimately how real are these connections? Human beings value close, meaningful relationships but we also seek a wider circle of acquaintances that boost our social capital. Social media is a useful tool in fulfilling and fostering both types of connections.

State Dept.: 'No Meaningful Improvement' in Iran's Human Rights Under 'Moderate' Rouhani
The State Department's latest report on human rights worldwide presents a grim account of continuing abuses by Iran, which persisted in spite of--and during--the election of supposed "moderate" Hassan Rouhani. In fact, Rouhani's election was listed first in the department's summary of human rights problems in Iran in 2013.
"The most egregious human rights problems were the government’s manipulation of the electoral process, which severely limited citizens’ right to change their government peacefully through free and fair elections; restrictions on civil liberties, including the freedoms of assembly, speech, and press; and disregard for the physical integrity of persons whom it arbitrarily and unlawfully detained, tortured, or killed," the report said.
According to Assistant Secretary of State Uzra Zeya, who is in charge of the human rights report, the U.S. has "seen little meaningful improvement" in human rights in Iran since Rouhani's election in June 2014.

Vfa Agreement Philippines
The Visiting Forces Agreement (VFA) between the Philippines and the United States has been a topic of controversy and debate for years. Signed in 1999, the VFA outlines the rules and regulations for American military personnel visiting the Philippines for joint exercises and training missions.
The VFA has been crucial in strengthening the alliance between the Philippines and the US, and has allowed for the conduct of exercises such as the Balikatan and the Pacific Partnership. These joint exercises aim to enhance the capabilities of both nations` armed forces and contribute to regional stability.
However, the VFA has also been a subject of criticism, particularly regarding the jurisdiction of US military personnel in cases of crimes committed while on Philippine soil. Critics argue that the VFA gives US soldiers immunity from prosecution and violates Philippine sovereignty.
In February 2020, Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte ordered the termination of the VFA, citing the US’ alleged interference in Philippine affairs. The termination was initially suspended in June 2020 amid the COVID-19 pandemic, but the fate of the agreement remains uncertain.
The VFA is a complex issue with both benefits and drawbacks. While it has contributed to the modernization of the Philippine military and strengthened the country’s defense capabilities, critics argue that it comes at the cost of Philippine sovereignty and the country`s legal system.
Whatever the outcome of the VFA, it is essential for both parties to ensure that the rights and interests of both the Philippines and the US are protected and respected. As a key ally in the region, the US has a vested interest in maintaining peaceful relations with the Philippines, and the VFA remains a vital component of that alliance.

FOOTBALL: Sayreville grinds out victory over Brick Memorial
The Sayreville High School football team parlayed a steady running game and a stellar defensive effort into a 28-0 victory over Brick Memorial on Friday night.
Running backs JaQuae Roberts and Michael Liberti scored two touchdowns apiece for the Bombers (4-0), who were able to establish their ground game, despite competing on a sloppy grass field on the road.
Brick Memorial (0-4), which had not run much triple option in its three previous games, employed that offense against Sayreville.
“They ran the triple option, which they hadn’t run all year,” Sayreville head coach Chris Beagan said. “Luckily we prepared a little bit for it. They ran the triple option pretty exclusively. I thought our kids did a nice job of adjusting on the fly.”
The shutout was the first for Beagan since he returned to Sayreville as the Bombers’ head coach before the start of last season (he previously served as an assistant at Sayreville before becoming a head coach at Monroe).
“We were very pleased with the effort of our kids tonight in just brutal weather,” Beagan said. “To run the type of offense we run and still have a downhill running game, it was great to watch. We had two backs that took care of the ball tonight. We didn’t put the ball on the ground (fumble) one time. Our quarterback (Jayson DeMild) did a great job.
“We were able to control time of possession for the most part.”

Guillem Balague delivers latest news to Liverpool fans about Philippe Coutinho
Guillem Balague says Liverpool are lining up a third bid to try and sign Philippe Coutinho from Liverpool
Barcelona are preparing a third bid to try and sign Philippe Coutinho from Liverpool this summer, according to Guillem Balague.
The Brazilian playmaker’s future has been a relentless source of speculation in recent days as Barcelona reportedly look to try and sign him as a replacement for Neymar.
Coutinho’s future has become a huge source of debate since the 25-year-old was reported to have handed in a transfer request on Friday.
However, although Spanish football expert Balague has suggested that Barcelona are getting ready to make a new bid for the Brazilian, he says that Liverpool have no intention of selling the playmaker this summer.
Speaking on Sky Sports News on Monday morning, Balague said: “Barcelona are preparing a third bid.
“There have been reports in Spain that there’s going to be a meeting between Liverpool and Barcelona this week – it’s not true.
“Liverpool have got no plans at all to meet Barcelona this week and actually they have no plans to accept any offer from Barcelona.
“Right now at this point, Liverpool are saying, ‘we’re not selling’.”
Liverpool fans will be hoping to see Coutinho stay at the club beyond the summer transfer window, with the playmaker having established himself as one of the Premier League’s top attacking talents in recent seasons.
Coutinho only signed a five-year contract extension with Liverpool back in January, meaning that the Merseyside outfit are under no pressure to sell the attacker.
Liverpool take on Crystal Palace in their next Premier League game on Saturday afternoon after their 3-3 draw with Watford last weekend.

Din rail mounted underspeed relays suitable for all kinds of machinery to detect loss of speed and pulse continuity. These units are useful when an output contact is required to alarm on jamming, loss of speed due to blunt cutting tools or as a "stationary" contact to allow the release of machine guards. Applications also include being used as "watchdog" relays.
The input is achieved from either a NAMUR proximity switch, PNP sensor or from a clean contact. Unlike the unit type YWRVL the YWRVL4 does not energise for approximately 8 seconds on the initial connection of the coil voltage, but will energise when the first leading edge of an input is seen. Thereon the operation is "time based" an input will reset the time delay, if an input is not seen within the set time the output relay will de-energise but not latch. Therefore the unit will re-energise if a new leading edge of an input is seen. Removal of the coil voltage, failure of the sensor, or a breakage in the cable between the unit and the PLC or sensor will also cause the output relay to de-energise if in an energised state. Hence the underspeed monitor is fail safe.

text: Under the threat of the COVID-19 pandemic, locating safe housing for those being released from correctional and residential treatment facilities is imperative. This task is made more difficult because many transitional housing facilities have closed or transferred residents to accommodations that enable social distancing, isolation, or quarantine. Information on shelter closings and regional shelter coordination centers has become critical. The information this report provides on emergency housing resources and contacts for each state is based on the most information currently available; however, because conditions change rapidly, it is important to verify that the services listed are still available. Listings and information on state and local contacts regarding COVID-19 include emergency and non-congregate housing options, such as short-term hotel-room leasing, converted dormitories or public buildings, and trailer units. In cases where there is little or no information on housing resources under COVID-19 conditions, this report provides contacts for coalitions to end homelessness, local or state housing and homelessness continuums of care, and other reliable contacts for housing resources. State resources follow after federal and national resources are listed.

Asthma is a chronic respiratory disorder characterized by airway inflammation and constriction, which causes breathing problems. The illness affects individuals of all ages, however it often manifests in infancy. Over 80% of asthma-related fatalities occur in low- and lower-middle-income nations, as reported by the World Health Organization.
The intensity and frequency of asthma symptoms may range from moderate and infrequent to severe and chronic. Asthma cannot be cured, but it may be successfully controlled via correct diagnosis, medication, and lifestyle modifications.
Causes and Triggers of Asthma
Although the specific etiology of asthma is unknown, it is believed to be a mix of hereditary and environmental factors. Examples of typical asthma triggers include:
-Allergens (e.g., pollen, mold, animal dander, dust mites)
-Respiratory illnesses (e.g., colds, flu)
-Cold air or weather changes
-Atmospheric irritants (e.g., cigarette smoke, air pollution, strong odors)
-Strong feelings or strain
-Certain pharmaceuticals (e.g., aspirin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, beta-blockers)
-Gastrointestinal acid reflux disease (GERD)
Identifying and avoiding asthma triggers might help asthmatics better control their illness.
Asthma Symptoms and Types
Asthma symptoms may vary from individual to individual and might include:
-Insufficiency of breath
-Wheezing (a whistling sound when breathing)
-coughing, particularly at night and early in the morning
-Sleeplessness caused by respiratory difficulties
There are several varieties of asthma, each with its own causes and symptoms:
Allergic asthma: Triggered by exposure to allergens such pollen, dust mites, or pet dander. The most prevalent kind of asthma.
Non-allergic asthma: Asthma caused by non-allergic causes, such as cold air, exercise, or respiratory infections.
Exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB): Asthma symptoms that develop during or immediately after physical exercise. The majority of asthma patients suffer with EIB.
Occupational asthma:Occupational asthma is caused by exposure to irritants in the job, such as chemicals, dust, or fumes.
COPD and asthma overlap: A combination of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in which both diseases are manifested.
Asthma may be difficult to diagnose due to the similarity of its symptoms to those of other respiratory disorders. Typically, the diagnostic procedure involves:
Medical history and physical exam: A healthcare professional will inquire about symptoms, family history, and possible triggers, as well as conduct a physical exam to detect asthma or allergy symptoms.
Lung function tests:Spirometry and peak flow measurements are popular procedures used to diagnose the severity of asthma by assessing lung function.
Testing for allergies: Skin or blood tests may be used to detect allergens that may be contributing to asthma symptoms.
Additional tests: In rare instances, a healthcare professional may prescribe further tests, such as chest X-rays or a bronchoprovocation challenge, to confirm the diagnosis of asthma or rule out other illnesses.
Management and Treatment of Asthma
Identifying and avoiding triggers is one of the most crucial components of asthma care. This might include:
-Methods for routine cleaning and allergy reduction (e.g., using dust mite-proof covers, removing carpeting)
-Avoiding outdoor activities when pollen and pollution levels are high
-Keeping away from cigarette smoke and other irritants in the air
-According to the recommendation of a healthcare expert, maintaining a healthy weight and participating in regular physical exercise are essential for good health.
-Stress management and the use of relaxation methods
-Any underlying diseases, such as GERD or allergies, that may contribute to asthma symptoms should be treated.
Quick-relief (rescue) drugs and long-term control (preventive) therapies are the two primary kinds of asthma treatments.
Quick-relief medications: By relaxing the muscles around the airways, quick-relief drugs (e.g., short-acting beta-agonists) give instant relief from asthma symptoms. Typically, these drugs are used as required to treat acute asthma episodes or increasing symptoms.
Long-term control medications: Long-term control drugs minimize inflammation in the airways and prevent the development of asthma symptoms. These drugs are given daily, regardless of the presence of asthma symptoms, to maintain asthma control. The following are popular forms of long-term control medications:
–Inhaled corticosteroids: These drugs lower airway inflammation, making airways less susceptible to stimuli. Fluticasone, budesonide, and beclomethasone are examples.
–Long-acting beta-agonists (LABAs): LABAs are bronchodilators that relax the muscles around the airways to provide long-term symptom alleviation. They are often administered with inhaled corticosteroids. For example, salmeterol and formoterol are LABAs.
-Leukotriene modifiers: These drugs inhibit the function of leukotrienes, which are substances generated by the body that promote inflammation and airway constriction. Both montelukast and zafirlukast are leukotriene modifiers.
-Theophylline:Theophylline is a bronchodilator that aids in the relaxation of airways and improvement of breathing. Typically, it is taken after other drugs have proven ineffective.
-Biologic therapies: These drugs target particular molecules implicated in asthma-related immune responses. The biologic treatments omalizumab, mepolizumab, and benralizumab are examples. Typically, these drugs are reserved for severe asthma patients that are not well managed by conventional therapies.
Action Plan for Asthma
An asthma action plan is a written document developed in partnership with a healthcare professional that specifies the activities necessary to successfully manage asthma. Typically, the action plan includes:
- A collection of triggers and avoidance tactics
- Use and storage instructions for asthma drugs
- Monitoring symptoms and modifying medicines as necessary
- Information on when to seek emergency medical attention
Regular follow-up sessions with a healthcare practitioner are important to review the asthma action plan, evaluate its efficacy, and make any necessary modifications.
Special Considerations: Asthma in Children
Asthma is the most prevalent chronic childhood condition, and its therapy in children requires unique considerations. Symptoms in children may vary from those in adults and may include the following:
-coughing often, particularly at night
-decreased energy and increased weariness
-difficulty maintaining a competitive pace during athletic activities
Diagnosis and treatment of asthma in children may entail the same stages as in adults; however, healthcare practitioners may take the child’s age, growth, and development into account when deciding the best suitable therapy. Parents and caregivers play a crucial role in monitoring and controlling children’s asthma, and it is essential to maintain open communication with the child’s healthcare practitioner to provide optimum treatment.
Living with Asthma: Strategies and Tips
Living with asthma may be difficult, but with the correct treatment plan and lifestyle modifications, the vast majority of asthma sufferers can enjoy healthy, active lives. Here are some asthma management tips:
-Inform yourself about asthma and the most current treatments and management options.
-Follow your asthma action plan and take your meds as indicated.
-Keep note of your symptoms and inform your healthcare practitioner of any changes.
-Create a network of friends, family members, or support groups who understand your illness and can provide encouragement.
-In the event of an emergency, you should have a strategy in place and carry your quick-relief medicine at all times.
Avoiding asthma triggers is an essential component of asthma management and symptom prevention.
Here are some recommendations for avoiding common asthma triggers:
-Use allergen-resistant mattress and pillow coverings to prevent dust mite exposure.
-Each week, wash bedding in hot water to eliminate dust mites and allergies.
-Regularly vacuum and dust your house, preferably with a HEPA-filtered vacuum cleaner.
-Maintain relative humidity levels between 30 and 50 percent to minimize mold development and dust mite populations.
