You’ve probably heard horror stories about dogs eating things they’re not supposed to. From socks to rings, dogs everywhere have eaten something that shouldn’t have even gotten into their mouths. However, what if your pup has the opposite problem? Is your furry friend pickier than your baby sibling? Here are a few reasons and tips as to why your pup is a picky eater!
Why Your Pup Is Picky
First, you have to figure out why your pup is picky. Different problems have different solutions! Once you figure out why, you can decide what to do next.
Oftentimes, you may be spoiling your pup! If you feed your pup too many treats or give him too much human food, it may cause him to dislike whatever you are feeding your pup. Always avoid giving your pup too much of the good stuff, as it may cause them to become picky eaters, or even overweight!
However, it may be anxiety or stress that’s causing your pup not to eat. If their food is in a spot that loud or busy, it may get them stressed out about eating. While this may sound silly, it may make all the difference!
It could also be what your pup is eating that’s causing the issue. If the food you’re giving them tends to make their stomach upset or make them feel sick, they could be avoiding the food you’re giving them. Check with your vet if your pup may have food allergies!
Changing your pup’s diet can also be a major factor in why your pup is being picky. Dietary changes can cause your pup to lose interest in their meals, or even cause them to get sick.
Another reason that’s more common with smaller breeds is that they’re simply not food motivated. If your pup just doesn’t like food, it may cause some picky eating. However, this is very rare, even for small dogs!
Once you figure out why your pup is being picky, you can now solve the problem!
How To Help A Picky Pup
If your pup is being picky because table scraps are much more delicious than their food, you have to make them understand that the dog food they have is the only food they’re getting. First, make sure to discuss with family that the dog is no longer getting scraps! Once you’ve established that your pup can’t eat human food, next is letting them know they only have their dog food.
The next step you should take is setting out the dog food during a specific time. For breakfast and dinner, set out your pup’s meal for thirty minutes. Let them know that their dog food is the only food they’re going to have from now on. If they choose not to eat it, put it away so they can’t have it until dinner or breakfast. This way, you can establish that your pup’s eating time as well as letting them know that their dog food is the only way they can eat! Don’t worry about your pup starving, because this process will probably take less than two days. Be sure not to give your pup any treats during this time!
However, if your pup is choosing not to eat due to a food change, the process is much different. You have to ease in your pup’s new food with their old food by slowly mixing in their new food, and eventually switching over to the new food. Check out this guide by Hill’s Pets to understand how to process works and how to do it safely!
If food allergies are causing your pup to refuse to eat, check in with your vet about what to do. Some dogs may have protein or wheat allergies that cause their food to disagree with them. You could schedule an allergy test for your pup and identify what foods they may be allergic to, then change their food to something that won’t cause them to be so finicky!
If stress is a factor in why your pup isn’t eating, identify what it is. Is it too loud where your pup is eating? Do people accidentally run into him while he’s eating? Move around where your pup’s food and water is to figure out which spot will entice him to eat!
If dry food is simply not cutting it, you may have to consider wet food as an alternative. Wet food is much more enticing to dogs because it smells and tastes much better than dry food! While it is more expensive than dry food, it may help your pup finally eat food they like.
A picky puppy can be stressful, as it may seem like they may be starving. But never worry too much! All problems have a solution, and finding out what food your pup will eat will always have a solution. Good luck!

The study is designed to answer the question: will nicotine at doses that do not cause serious side effects, show feasibility in treatment of levodopa-induced dyskinesia in patients with Parkinson's disease?
Nicotine will be employed at daily doses lower than those available OTC as smoking-cessation patches, in parkinsonian patients experiencing disabling dyskinesias due to their levodopa treatment. The principal adverse effect from this dose level of nicotine is expected to be nausea on acute administration to nicotine-naive patients. Because tolerance to the effects of nicotine is achieved by repeated dose, the study is designed to gradually escalate from 6 to 24 mg per day, taken in 6 separate oral doses of 6 mg each. The study is designed to see if doses which can be tolerated by parkinsonian patients will also reduce the severity and frequency of the dyskinesias experienced following administration of levodopa, the gold standard medication for Parkinson's disease.

A condition caused by the neurotoxin MPTP which causes selective destruction of nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons. Clinical features include irreversible parkinsonian signs including rigidity and bradykinesia (PARKINSON DISEASE, SECONDARY).

A group of disorders which feature impaired motor control characterized by bradykinesia, MUSCLE RIGIDITY; TREMOR; and postural instability. Parkinsonian diseases are generally divided into primary parkinsonism (see PARKINSON DISEASE), secondary parkinsonism (see PARKINSON DISEASE, SECONDARY) and inherited forms. These conditions are associated with dysfunction of dopaminergic or closely related motor integration neuronal pathways in the BASAL GANGLIA.
Parkinsonism following encephalitis, historically seen as a sequella of encephalitis lethargica (Von Economo Encephalitis). The early age of onset, the rapid progression of symptoms followed by stabilization, and the presence of a variety of other neurological disorders (e.g., sociopathic behavior; TICS; MUSCLE SPASMS; oculogyric crises; hyperphagia; and bizarre movements) distinguish this condition from primary PARKINSON DISEASE.

Zion Williamson's historic flex as rookie sensation hits new NBA high
No. 1 NBA Draft pick Zion Williamson has more than lived up to the hype, already chasing one of Michael Jordan's crowns.
After sitting out the first few months of his rookie season, it seems the wait was worth it for No. 1 Draft pick Zion Williamson.
Since exploding in the fourth quarter of his debut match with an outburst that gave just a taste of what the NBA has in Williamson, he has piled on the points and electrified the league.

The 19-year-old superstar-in-the-making has scored more than 20 points in eight of his first ten games, hitting a career high 32 points despite a 123-118 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder.
It was his second straight night of 30+ points after 31 points against the Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday.
Incredibly, he's the first rookie in 35 years to reach the mark, the first player since the great Michael Jordan.
Zion Williamson is the first rookie in 35 years to record eight 20-point games in the first 10 games of his career.— StatMuse (@statmuse) February 14, 2020
Who was that rookie? Michael Jordan. pic.twitter.com/PQMB0Nwina
It seems a long way from the speculation before the season started when it was pondered whether Williamson would be able to play in his first season and be as effective as he has been in the past.
Trail Blazers forward and NBA legend Carmelo Anthony was full of praise after coming up against the young gun earlier in the week.
“I don’t really think he’s comparable to anyone that I have seen,” Portland forward Carmelo Anthony said of Williamson.
“Someone who is as powerful as that, who jumps like that ... you can tell he’s getting better and getting a feel for the game.”
And he's quickly racking up the records.
Zion Williamson is now over 200 points (and counting) through 10 career games...— ESPN Stats & Info (@ESPNStatsInfo) February 14, 2020
Over the last 30 seasons, the only former No. 1 picks to score 200 points within their first 10 career games are Hall of Famers Shaquille O'Neal (238 in 1992-93) and Allen Iverson (224 in 1996-97). pic.twitter.com/kDPrJec0nu
He's also put himself in great standing to go down as one of the greats, scoring more than 14 points in every one of his first nine NBA games to become the 20th player to do so.
15 of the 19 who had already done it were Hall of Famers and he's the first since Dikembe Mutombo in 1991-92.
But he's also not just an offensive weapon, pulling off more highlight reel blocks that the world can seemingly watch all day.
Williamson is now the top rookie in terms of scoring with 22.1 points per game and 7.5 rebounds. He's moved ahead of the second pick Ja Morant of the Memphis Grizzlies, who averages 17.6 points, 3.5 rebounds and 7.1 assists.
While Morant appeared to be the frontrunner for the Rookie of the Year award, fans have debated whether Williamson is making a play for it despite missing a big chuck of the season.
Obviously, Ja will win ROY. If Zion maintains this pace he's the better player. Ja is a supernova. He wins because he played more games.— Chris Martin Palmer (@ChrisPalmerNBA) February 14, 2020
If Zion had played the whole year Pelicans would be in the playoffs. Pels have a way better roster.— Chris Martin Palmer (@ChrisPalmerNBA) February 14, 2020
Zion scored 32 points in 31 minutes tonight. After scoring 31 points in 28 minutes in last game. Sure heâs shattering rookie records.— Andrew Perloff (@andrewperloff) February 14, 2020
Remember that GM that said he would have taken Ja Morant first overall, and how that asinine quote spread like wildfire in the first half of Zion's debut? Good. Frickin'. Times. https://t.co/nhwt3UDgzw— Mark Strotman (@markstrot) February 14, 2020
Ja Morant looking at Zion coming for his ROY award pic.twitter.com/WxHqmPY2uW— Matthew McGovern (@MatthewMcGovern) February 14, 2020
Earlier in the week, the Pelicans star admitted he's surprised even himself with how he's settled into the game.
“I expected to make an impact, but I didn’t expect to do nothing like this,” Williamson said. “I was kind of looking to come in and just kind of fit in and just not try to mess up. My teammates and coaches are always pushing me, like, ‘No, be outside the box’.”
“People are trying to find their own way (to stop me), but I feel like my game is so unique that I’ll be able to adjust to it on the fly,” Williamson said. “At the end of the day, I’m 19. I’ve still got a lot of room for growing. I will mess up. I’m not perfect, I will have bad games. I’m just going to learn from them.”
His teammate Josh Hart said his rapid development has been "scary".
“He’s a walking 24-and-8 guy," he said earlier this week. "He’s a guy that you think he’s doing well, then you look up and he’s 39 (points) and four (rebounds). That’s the kind of player he is. He’s only played (nine) games. It’s scary to see how good he is this early. Hopefully, he can continue to keep getting better day by day. He’s going to be a problem.”


Booting the Computer
Whenever you turn on your computer, the first thing you see is the BIOS software doing its thing. On many machines, the BIOS displays text describing things like the amount of memory installed in your computer, the type of hard disk and so on. It turns out that, during this boot sequence, the BIOS is doing a remarkable amount of work to get your computer ready to run. This section briefly describes some of those activities for a typical PC.
After checking the CMOS Setup and loading the interrupt handlers, the BIOS determines whether the video card is operational. Most video cards have a miniature BIOS of their own that initializes the memory and graphics processor on the card. If they do not, there is usually video driver information on another ROM on the motherboard that the BIOS can load.
Next, the BIOS checks to see if this is a cold boot or a reboot. It does this by checking the value at memory address 0000:0472. A value of 1234h indicates a reboot, and the BIOS skips the rest of POST. Anything else is considered a cold boot.
If it is a cold boot, the BIOS verifies RAM by performing a read/write test of each memory address. It checks the PS/2 ports or USB ports for a keyboard and a mouse. It looks for a peripheral component interconnect (PCI) bus and, if it finds one, checks all the PCI cards. If the BIOS finds any errors during the POST, it will notify you by a series of beeps or a text message displayed on the screen. An error at this point is almost always a hardware problem.
The BIOS then displays some details about your system. This typically includes information about:
Any special drivers, such as the ones for small computer system interface (SCSI) adapters, are loaded from the adapter, and the BIOS displays the information. The BIOS then looks at the sequence of storage devices identified as boot devices in the CMOS Setup. "Boot" is short for "bootstrap," as in the old phrase, "Lift yourself up by your bootstraps." Boot refers to the process of launching the operating system. The BIOS will try to initiate the boot sequence from the first device. If the BIOS does not find a device, it will try the next device in the list. If it does not find the proper files on a device, the startup process will halt. If you have ever left a disk when you restarted your computer, you have probably seen this message.
The BIOS has tried to boot the computer off of the disk left in the drive. Since it did not find the correct system files, it could not continue. Of course, this is an easy fix. Simply pop out the disk and press a key to continue.

text: Ischemic stroke accounts for 87% of the 780,000 strokes occurring annually in the United States and is a leading cause of death and functional limitations worldwide. The prompt recognition of stroke symptoms and timely arrival at the emergency room are important to stroke outcomes. Recent literature was suggestive that women may have different stroke symptoms compared with men. If women have nontraditional symptoms at stroke onset, this may contribute to delay in diagnosis and treatment. The purpose of this manuscript was to review the current literature regarding gender differences in stroke symptoms. Ten articles met the inclusion criteria for the review. Overall, the extant research was not indicative of robust gender differences in the classic symptoms of stroke or a greater frequency of nontraditional symptoms in women. One study found that women were significantly more likely than men to report nonspecific "somatic" symptoms, and in another study women were significantly more likely to have a change in mental status compared with men. Implications for nursing practice and suggestions for future research are discussed.

While eight children was more than enough for the 1970s sitcom family, eight characters just won’t cut it for a modern password in an increasingly dangerous online world. Howard Solomon reports on the demonstration at the RSA Conference of a password-cracking server that broke four out of five MD5 passwords in less than five minutes. It seems scrambled passwords – and probably two-factor authentication – are in our near future.
As Moore’s Law – which in its first iteration held that the number of transistors per square inch you can fit on an integrated circuit will double every year – turns 50, and Intel co-founder Gordon Moore relaxes on a Hawaiian beach with his billions of dollars, Dave Wilby points out how Moore never really called it a law, but more of an observation. And one that wasn’t meant to exist in perpetuity anyway. Still, it’s hard to deny its legacy.
Avaya’s Jean Turgeon doesn’t beat around the bush: your network is ugly, and your approach to software-defined networking may just be putting lipstick on your networking pig. Most networks are an aging hodgepodge of racks and software at a time when business is demanding it do more and more. And while software-defined networking (SDN) is supposed to be the salvation, Turgeon argues many models deliver complexity in the quest for simplicity. He has some advice on the right approach to take.
You can’t count on your users to prevent data braches. That’s the message Rob Enderlee takes from the RSA Conference, where increasingly personal spearfishing attacks targeting executives with greater network access was a discussion topic. We’ve long been focused on prevention – with limited success – so Enderlee argues it’s time to focus more on two other areas of security: response and protection. If we can’t stop them from getting in, let’s limit the damage they can do and make sure we track them down.

Unless you’re a BlackBerry user, you probably love your smartphone apps and have maybe even paid for a few. Apps have become big business. But in an increasingly crowded app marketplace, how do you stand out? Jared Lindzon has the low-down on new research of the Canadian app marketplace and it shows that while app store placement is still crucial, word of mouth is increasingly important to driving downloads.
Loyalty seems to have little place in our modern economy. Unlike past generations, we’ll change jobs many times – whether we want to or not – and brand loyalty is similarly fluid. So while companies try to minimize customer churn on the one hand, they’re actively trying to poach customers on the other. Christine Wong examines new research on this ‘switching economy’ that reveals how companies are good at the poaching, but not so good at the keeping – and their disjointed digital, mobile, social and traditional channels are one reason why.
Meetings are inescapable in the modern work world, but can they be limited without calling a meeting minimization meeting? Vawn Himmelsbach has gathered persuasive evidence that argues it all starts with having a focused agenda, and making it clear ahead of time what everyone needs to bring to the table and what the meeting is to accomplish. And particularly with a virtual meeting, keep people engaged and don’t be boring.
How many SIP trunking LinkedIn groups is too many? Well, Shane Schick certainly thinks 46 groups dedicated to the topic is probably a few too many. At their best, LinkedIn groups are a place to share best practices and learn from your peers; at worse, they’re empty marketing and shameless self-promotion. Schick has waded through the 46 and found the three groups you will want to be a part of, and even actively participate in.

Sheriff shrugs off Oath Keepers affiliation
RIVERSIDE – (INT) – Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco is drawing criticism over his reported claim that he once was a dues-paying member of the Oath Keepers Group which played a prominent role in the Capitol Hill insurrection.
Sheriff Bianco did not participate in the January siege and said he’d forgotten his brief affiliation with the Oath Keepers 7-years ago.
County Supervisor V. Manuel Perez said Wednesday he was “shocked and deeply troubled” at the revelation. Perez labeled the Oath Keepers as a “far right, anti-government militia based on extremist racist views.”
“Our communities want government and law enforcement to protect our residents, and to govern and police our communities without extremist views,” Perez said.
Bianco raised eyebrows last month when he refused to require sheriff’s department employees to be vaccinated against the coronavirus.
The sheriff, who also acts as Riverside County coroner, is up for reelection next year.

Firestone Diamonds confident of growth; SOUTH AFRICA: Exploration sites earmarked.
FIRESTONE Diamonds has said it has made "good progress" towards its goal of becoming a major independent player in diamond production.
Firestone owns two mines in South Africa, but also has an exploration arm enabling it to acquire licences from governments to search for diamonds.
The London-based group said yesterday it had identified a number of areas in South Africa, one of the world's main diamond producing countries, for possible exploration.
It also has two permits pending in the Namaqualand region of South Africa, which are expected to be granted in the coming year.
The group is already researching a site in the Mopipi area of Botswana and chairman James Kenny said it was showing "exceptional potential" - the country is the world's largest producer of diamonds by value.
The Oena and Avontour mines in South Africa also had a good year, Firestone said, with improvements in production and gem quality prices.
It meant group turnover for the year to June 30 was up 19pc at pounds 951,219, although pre-tax profits dipped 6pc at pounds 387,545 after higher interest charges.
Mr Kenny said, "We have made good progress during the year towards achieving our objective of becoming a substantial independent diamond producer.
"With increasing production from Oena, and the exceptional potential of Mopipi and our other exploration projects, we remain confident about Firestone's prospects for continued growth and development."
Firestone explores, researches and develops sites with the aim of turning them into operational mines. It specialises in high-quality diamonds, which it then sells primarily for use in jewellery.

Say what you want about Tom Cruise, but the man makes great movies. Top Gun from 1986 is one of the best action films ever made and its follow-up Top Gun Maverick (2022) challenges the notion that sequels can never be as good as the original (it was amazing). Sorting a Top Gun costume for Halloween is pretty straightforward—and when in doubt, just chuck on a pair of Aviator sunglasses and people will get the idea.
Top Gun Maverick was finally released in 2022 after being delayed significantly due to the Covid-19 pandemic. It was supposed to hit cinemas in November 2021 but due to surges in the virus cases, Paramount Pictures postponed its release because the production company—and its star, Tom Cruise—believed firmly that this movie should be experienced in cinemas. When asked if the movie should, like so many other delayed releases, be sent to streaming services first, Cruise responded: “That’s not going to happen. Ever,” per Variety. “I’ve spent a lot of time with theater owners. The people that serve the popcorn, the ones who make this [happen]… I make movies for the big screen.” Part of the reason was that Maverick had been shot in IMAX format with six cameras affixed to the fighter jets. Yes, those fighter jets are actually flying and those actors are experiencing real G-forces within them. Top Gun Maverick finally hit theater screens in May 2022 with overwhelmingly positive reviews. “The action sequences are tense and exuberant, reminders that flight has been one of the great thrills of cinema almost from the beginning,” A. O. Scott wrote in his review for the New York Times. “
Sure, the flight suit is the easy choice and there are plenty to choose from, but if you want people to believe you’re the Top Gun superfan that you are (honestly, how could you not?), there are other references to pull from this duo of adrenaline-fueled, glorified navy advertisements. Some items are easily obtained and you might even have them in your closet already, things like straight-leg blue jeans, combat boots and Hawaiian shirts are all part of the iconic 80s aesthetic. Now, all you have to ask yourself is: Are you a Maverick or a Goose? Are you Bradley “Rooster” Bradshaw (Miles Teller), the new generation of stalwart aviators? Or are you Val Kilmer, aka Iceman? If you ask us, he’s the true hero of the story in standing up to Mav’s reckless antics. The choice is yours in this round-up of Top Gun costumes for Halloween.
It doesn’t get much more iconic than this—the flight suit donned by navy pilots in both films. It’s also the ultimate one-and-done outfit, as it’s a full-length body suit with multiple pockets. You’ll need a pair of black boots to complete the look and Aviator sunglasses are optional but highly encouraged. Yes, this is labeled as a men’s costume but of course, it’ll suit everyone.
Early in the first film, Maverick tries to pick up a woman in the recruit’s local bar. She turns out to be a TOPGUN instructor, Charlie Blackwood, who “doesn’t date students”, but he pursues her anyway. In the scene where Maverick rides his motorbike to her house, he’s wearing a leather bomber jacket with navy patches sewn onto it, as “Take My Breath Away” by Berlin plays over the top. It’s another iconic Top Gun scene. Charlie herself wears a pretty tough leather jacket, so you could easily turn these looks into the ultimate couple costume.
You can’t go to a Halloween party dressed as someone from Top Gun without a pair of Aviator sunglasses. You just can’t. Just like they were after the release of the original movie in 1986, this is a highly influential piece of face wear and sales soared after the release of the Top Gun movie in 1986. Bloomberg reported that sales of the Ray-Ban RB3025 aviators
also went up significantly after Top Gun Maverick‘s release in 2022. You can pay more than $200 for the actual pair or take this budget option.
Nick “Goose” Bradshaw is Maverick’s right-hand man. Maverick’s reckless behavior gets Goose killed and Bradley “Rooster” Bradshaw (Miles Teller), Goose’s son, enlists in navy flight school under the instruction of the man responsible for his dad’s death. Understandably, he’s a cautious flyer. Rooster’s costumes in this Top Gun sequel are a wonderful homage to the original film and his dad, Goose—think Hawaiian shirts, straight-leg jeans, and of course, an iconic moustache.

Flowers that blossom in cold temperatures should be used to decorate your outside spaces. Some of these bloomers can even be started indoors before being transplanted outside.
Flowers that bloom in the winter will brighten your landscape and add a splash of color to it. Much of the country experiences a calm gardening season over the winter, so even a brief burst of blossom is a pleasant sight. In warmer climates, the list of flowers that bloom in winter includes plants that may produce blooms from December through the beginning of the spring season.
Winter pansies are all-stars when it comes to dealing with the cold. These bright and colorful winter-flowering flowers have the ability to freeze solid and then thaw, allowing them to develop and flower. Nemesia, snapdragon, sweet alyssum, and blooming stock are some of the other bedding plant blooms that bloom during the winter months. In places with milder winters, you can rely on these frost-tolerant bloomers to brighten up winter landscapes with vibrant color. In colder climates when winter preserves the landscape in a constant state of deep frost, introduce these flowers into fall containers and planting beds to provide a pop of color to the landscape.
The Lenten rose, also known as the Christmas rose (Helleborus), is a perennial flower that blooms throughout the winter months. Leathery, dark green leaves dangle like an umbrella above winter muck or snow, creating a striking visual effect. Most hybrids can endure temperatures as low as Zone 5, although the hardy Helleborus niger may withstand temperatures as low as Zone 3. The Lenten rose is a beautiful addition to a woodland garden or part shade border, where it blends in beautifully with ferns and delicious woodruff, among other plants (Galium odoratum).
Plants that bloom during Lent are repelled by deer and voles. Flowers bloom during Lent in an array of colors and shapes. Flowers can be expected in January in warmer climates; in colder climates, blooms may not appear until February or March. It is not necessary to remove old leaves until the blooms are ready to open. Those decaying leaves provide winter shelter for the delicate flower buds that emerge in the spring.
Some bulbs bloom in the winter, and they are known as winter flowering flowers. Snowdrops (Galanthus) are a genuine springtime herald, with their dainty and delicate appearance. They are scarcely larger than a dandelion, yet they valiantly push through snow and ice to bring their beautiful white bell blossoms to the yard. Zones 3 to 7 are suitable for growing these bulbs, and in Zone 6 they can begin to bloom as early as February.
Winter aconite (Eranthis hyemalis) is another winter-blooming flower that develops from a bulb. It is native to the Mediterranean region. This little bulb flower, like the snowdrop, can be found among the late-winter snows, opening brilliant green leaves capped with beautiful yellow petals in the spring. The plants reach a maximum height of 6 inches. In Zone 7, this bulb blooms before the crocus, usually in February or March. Throughout Zones 3 to 7, winter aconite is a hardy plant.
When arranging flowers in the landscape that bloom in the winter, make sure they are in a visible location so that you can enjoy them. Consider the weather conditions in your region throughout the winter months. With the exception of the hottest climates, you’ll most likely spend the colder months indoors, so put winter-blooming flowers in areas where you can see them readily from inside your home.
Stack containers with annuals such as winter pansies, sweet alyssum, and nemesia at doorways and on patios to create a welcoming atmosphere. Short-blooming bulbs, such as snowdrops and winter aconite, are an excellent choice for planting beds beside sidewalks. The greatest way to appreciate taller perennials, such as the lenten rose, is to get right up and personal. They should be planted in beds where they can be seen readily, such as on the route to the garage or near the entrance that gets the most use.

Thanks to controversial--and widely panned--comments from a Democratic strategist on cable news on Wednesday night, the sniping between Republicans and Democrats on which party is better for women has hit a fever pitch. It's a battle that has both President Obama's campaign team and GOP front-runner Mitt Romney fanning the flames and seeking the advantage.
Hilary Rosen, a Democratic strategist with ties to, if not an official role with, top Democratic politicians, created a firestorm on Twitter and the cable networks when she said on CNN that Ann Romney had "never worked a day in her life."
Romney, the wife of Mitt Romney, was a stay-at-home mom who raised the couple's five boys. She has been very active with charity organizations, survived cancer, and has multiple sclerosis.
Rosen later said she did not mean to imply that being a mom was not hard work. But she hasn't backed away from the sentiment behind her comments.
"She's never really dealt with the kinds of economic issues that a majority of women in this country are facing," Rosen said of Ann Romney on the same CNN broadcast.
Immediately, Republicans sought to tie Rosen with Obama's re-election campaign, though top Obama advisers immediately took to social media to distance themselves from the comments.
"I could not disagree with Hilary Rosen any more strongly. Her comments were wrong and family should be off limits. She should apologize," said Jim Messina, Obama's campaign manager via Twitter soon after the incident.
Women have become one of the most sought-after voting blocs in the 2012 presidential election, with recent polling showing that Obama leads Romney by about 20 points with the group. In recent days, the Romney camp has worked to paint Obama as a failure with women because of his economic policies, citing statistics that show women have suffered disproportionate job losses during his administration.
"If you look at where we are, women have faced massive job losses under this administration and the policies of this president have failed women voters and men, too," said Sen. Kelly Ayotte, a New Hampshire Republican and Romney supporter, during a conference call with reporters on Thursday.
Ayotte, calling Rosen an adviser to the president, said as a mother herself she was insulted by the Democrat's comments. But she also pressed the economic case against the president.
"The policies of this administration have failed women in our society and men in terms of where our economy is right now, how much they are paying for gas at the pumps and also the massive debt that has been incurred under this president and that's going to be passed on to the next generation," she said.
Just how much of a lasting impact this latest dust-up will have on the overall presidential race isn't clear.
But Jennifer Lawless, government professor and director of American University's Women and Politics Institute, says it will likely be quickly forgotten unless it becomes a part of a larger narrative.
"It would be far more damning if it was a female candidate running against Mitt Romney and she said that," Lawless says. "But when you are talking about a surrogate or a potential surrogate of the campaign and it's unclear who authorized who to say what, I think it's a pretty inside-the-beltway discussion."
Romney and the Republicans will also have to offer independent women voters more than just insults against Obama and his policies in order to win them over, she adds.
"It's not going to be enough to try and throw mud," Lawless says. "There's been a gender gap in every presidential election since 1980, so independent women's baseline preference is going to be more likely to lean toward Obama than Romney. So Romney has to do more than just get women to re-think Obama, he needs to get them to re-think Obama and then come to him, and that's not an obvious case to make for independent women."

Under the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (H.R. 133)(the “Act”) (here), which was signed into law on December 27, 2020, new relief is available for employees who participate in health care flexible spending accounts and dependent care flexible spending accounts (“FSAs”). While the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) issued limited relief for FSA participants in 2020 (here), that guidance only expanded opportunities to make mid-year elections. It did not address the desire of so many employees to extend access to their unspent FSA balances beyond the 2020 plan year.
The changes under the Act are intended specifically to address this concern. Importantly, the changes are optional. Employers who implement these changes will likely experience higher costs due to reduced forfeitures and changes in plan administration. Additionally, changes to health FSAa could adversely affect the participant’s eligibility to contribute (or receive contributions) to a health savings account. Below is a summary of the changes affecting FSAs:
Larger Carryover Balances
Generally, amounts that remain in an FSA at the end of a plan year are forfeited and no longer accessible to the employee (i.e. the “use-it-or-lose it” rule). With the elimination of many elective medical procedures, daycare closings, and at-home schooling during the pandemic, many FSA participants were unable to utilize their FSAs in 2020.
Under prior guidance issued by the IRS (here), plans may allow employees to carry over up to a specified dollar amount ($550 in 2021) of the year-end balance for use in the subsequent plan year. Pursuant to the Act, however, there is no dollar limit on the amount that participants may be permitted to carry over with respect to a plan year that ends in 2020 or 2021. By allowing such a carryover, the employee will have access to the amount carried over to pay or reimburse covered expenses in a subsequent plan year.
Extended Grace Periods
As an alternative to a carryover feature, prior IRS guidance (here) allows a plan to provide for a grace period of up to 2.5 months following the end of the plan year to apply unused balances to covered expenses incurred during that period. A plan is not permitted to have both a carryover feature and a grace period. Accordingly, under this relief, a plan with a grace period for a plan year ending in 2020 or 2021 may extend such period for up to 12 months after the end of such plan year. As with the carryover relief described above, this will allow the employee to apply the unused balances to the payment of covered expenses throughout the subsequent plan year. Note, however, if the participant was planning on making contributions to a health savings account in 2021 or 2022, the extension of a grace period under a general flexible spending account will cause such participant to be ineligible to make (or receive) such contributions. Accordingly, the employer will want to ensure that the account is re-characterized as a limited purpose FSA during the extended grace period.
More Permissible Election Changes
As a general rule, elections under an FSA are irrevocable during the year absent a permissible election change event. As mentioned, the IRS issued guidance in 2020 to temporarily ease the application of these rules. The Act further allows plans to be amended to permit eligible employees to make a prospective change to their 2021 plan year FSA elections even if there is no change in status event. This relief is particularly helpful for employees participating in calendar year FSA arrangements who did not have an opportunity to consider the effects of the Act’s changes before 2021 elections became final.
Extended Period for Health Care Reimbursements
Participation in a health FSA is generally required to terminate when the employee terminates employment, except to the extent the employee is eligible for and makes a timely election for continuation coverage. On the contrary, coverage under a dependent care FSA is permitted to run through the end of the year in which such termination occurs (without an affirmative election by the employee). Under the Act, a health FSA may allow a participant whose employment is terminated during calendar year 2020 or 2021 to continue to receive reimbursements through the end of the plan year in which such participation ceased (including any grace period, as may be extended in accordance with the Act).
Reimbursements for Aged-Out Dependents
An employee enrolled in a dependent care FSA may receive reimbursements of dependent care expenses for a child who has not attained age 13. The Act, however, increases the age to 14 for those employees who elected coverage under a dependent care FSA during an enrollment period that ended on or before January 31, 2020 and have dependents that attained age 13 during the 2020 plan year. Pursuant to this relief, an employee may receive reimbursements for expenses incurred for the remainder of the 2020 plan year and may use the balance in the 2021 plan year.
These changes are discretionary, but if any one or more of them is adopted, the employer must adopt a retroactive plan amendment not later than the last day of the first calendar year following the calendar year in which the amendment is first effective (i.e. for changes effective for calendar year plan year 2021, by December 31, 2022).

A failed country is when a nation’s government is no longer capable of providing law and order for its territory. A country failure is predominantly man made, not merely accidental. Institutional fragilities and structural flaws contribute to failure, but those deficiencies usually hark back to decisions or actions of men, very rarely women.
Political stability is a major threat for global security, thus, becoming a theatre of strategic competition between the West and emerging powers including China, Turkey, Malaysia, etc. Somaliland has a lot of advancement in technology and such as Telecommunications, Multimedia, advancement of the governmental universities, private schools internet applications; mobile banking system (zad service) security Piracy off the coast of Somalia there is no Piracy in Somaliland.
However there are some important issue we need to consider the Somaliland economy increase triple during Minister of Finance Eng. Mohamed Hashi work and stop all kinds of corruption illegal usage of the budget of this country. He said in his speech to house of parliament “we need use modern technology.” so while I am in my office I can know the increase development of the tax and everything.
And now there is growing at an alarming rate and threatens to drastically disrupt in job opportunities and international trade, which results in some illegal acts of violence, detention, or any act of depredation, committed for public and private.
Somaliland is appalling the development programs by a lack of infrastructure. Technology, and low human development indicators. On the development of successful country the government should make development program, financial plan Target and mission to achieve.
We need to improve our country in terms of education Technology and other infrastructures and create job opportunities to the teenagers of Somaliland because “every politician says we need a change we need development of the country and when they win nothing is takes place.”
Last month, UK Prime Minister David Cameron, hosted an international conference regarding Somaliland. It is there where he pledged more aid, financial help, and greater measures to fight terrorism in the African nation. However, the rationale behind the re-focus can perhaps be explained by events in the Arabian Gulf, and petroleum exploration in Somaliland.
It is unquestionable that our economy Increase during Eng. Mohamed Hashi era. In Somaliland will give the country not only economic, but also political, and social opportunities. It will boost Somaliland’s economic development program, using modern technology and university students can make a such profound development where it can then spend on job training, education, as well as infrastructure development; which are the most central points as much as social benefits of each developed country .
Furthermore, do you think Somaliland should need to change political leaders? If you think no, quoting a Former Malaysian PM official Speech during Q&A session a person asked Dr.Mohathir how you develop your country. And he replies “I don’t develop the country but I develop the people’s mind … Then the people develop their own country”.
Therefore the development of the country doesn’t depend on to change the individual. President or parliament because this person is just representing the people. Allah says in the Qur’an
“Truly, God does not change the condition of a people until they change themselves.” (Quran 13:11)
Some people have misconception about this If yes, then you are what we call… illusion it is safe to say that the Somaliland will be the same each year, Look at the politicians during elections every candidate will address we need a change and nothing will appear.
Finally, it is significant to mention that government should have development programe 2012 can present economic, social Technology and political developments; however, these benefits can help and create jobs and develop the citizens.

Gas prices continue to climb higher setting new records on a daily basis.
According to AAA, the average price for a gallon of gas in Pennsylvania today is $5.05 a gallon - a penny more than yesterday.
Now that prices have passed the “psychological milestone” of $5 a gallon, what is the next dreaded price point?
Is it $6?
Natasha Kaneva, head of commodities research at JP Morgan told Business Insider, “With expectations of strong driving demand … US retail price could surge another 37% by August to a $6.20/gal national average.”
Experts say the high prices are not going away any time soon.
AAA said today that “drivers continue to fuel up for the summer driving season, typically a time when gas demand increases.
This dynamic between decreased supply and increased demand is contributing to rising prices at the pump. This coupled with increasing crude oil prices means that the price of gas will likely remain elevated for the near future.
Crude prices have surged this week in response to global supply concerns amid expected demand increases, particularly as China emerges from lockdowns that reduced crude demand.”
GasBuddy reported yesterday that the national average gas price finally reached $5 a gallon and “won’t stop there.” AAA, however, has the national average at $4.98 a gallon today.
According to AAA, in the Harrisburg metro area, the average price is up to $5 a gallon. It was $4.99 yesterday.
GasBuddy app users reported the lowest price in the area today is $4.77 a gallon at B.J.’s Wholesale Club in Lower Allen Twp. and Sam’s Club in Silver Spring Twp. The price at Sam’s Club in Swatara Twp. was $4.83 - the same price as Costco in Lower Paxton Twp.

B.R.A. approves 383-unit project at Anthony's Pier 4 site
The Boston Redevelopment Authority Thursday evening approved a $150 million project set to include 383 residential units at the site of Anthony’s Pier 4 restaurant on the South Boston waterfront.
The 625,000-square-foot project, which also will include retail, is the first phase of three scheduled for the site. City planners want the area turned into what Mayor Thomas M. Menino has described as a “24-hour neighborhood.”
Also Thursday, the authority’s board restored employee salaries that had been cut in June 2009 as part of cost-saving efforts during the worst part of the recent economic downturn.
Employees making between $50,000 and $100,000 saw 3 percent cuts reversed.
Employees making more than $100,000 saw 5 percent cuts reversed.
Salaries were not cut for employees making less than $50,000. The board approved giving them 2 percent raises.
The BRA has 218 employees. Restoring the cuts will cost about $400,000 annually, agency spokeswoman Susan Elsbree said.
“The director felt that given 29 months of austerity from the board and the staff...we’re back on solid financial ground,” she said..
The BRA’s budget comes largely from rents at the Marine Industrial Park in South Boston and from assessments on the sale of housing units in certain urban renewal projects.
The current budget is $45 million annually, down from $57 million just before the downturn, Elsbree said.

Reported by: Associated Press
Reported: Monday, January 6, 2014 5:58 PM EST
Two men have been indicted on aggravated murder charges in the beating death of a teen who was left at a southwest Ohio hospital.
Court records don't list attorneys for them. They're from Franklin.
Authorities say 16-year-old Dione Payne of Dayton was beaten in an attempt to steal drugs and money from him at a home about 15 miles south of Dayton. Police say Payne was left at a Middletown hospital Dec. 1 and later died.
Watson and Geldrich could get life in prison without parole if convicted of aggravated murder.
A third defendant was indicted on a robbery-related charge but isn't charged in Payne's death.

Rome, November 28 - President Sergio Mattarella said Monday he was the arbiter of political life. He said his task was "a little like" that of a referee, and he carried it out "with two activities: exhortation and suggestions, that is via persuasion". He said it was his job to make sure that Italy ran smoothly "as a system". Mattarella is set to play a key role, pundits say, if Premier Matteo Renzi loses a December 4 Constitutional reform referendum.

Hg Exchange (HGX), Southeast Asia’s first private securities exchange, has kicked off trading. Founding members of the exchange include PhillipCapital, Prime Partners, and Fundnel – a leading securities crowdfunding platform serving sophisticated investors across Asia.
Richard Teng, formerly an executive at the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and former Chief Regulatory Officer of the Singapore Exchange, has been appointed as Chairman of HGX.
HGX is a member-driven private exchange that entered the MAS Fintech regulatory sandbox in June 2020 and is thus operating under the watchful eye of the regulator.
HGX says it is seeking to generate global liquidity for its investors and issuers by providing access to high growth firms, funds, and other alternative assets. HGX adds that it will “pioneer an integrated offering with the listing and trading of both digital and non-digital capital market products.”
HGX is leveraging Zilliqa blockchain, a high-performance digital ledger technology that is enterprise-ready.
It was previously reported that Hg Exchange will also be providing custodial services.
The exchange points to the fact that more and more companies are delaying initial public offerings (IPOs) for as long as possible. Private securities markets can provide a certain level of liquidity. Technology has made it easier to build effective markets. HGX expects to eliminate information asymmetry by providing robust disclosure and information.
Via a partnership with an unnamed third-party investment research company, HGX will provide investors with “deep insights, with the goal of empowering them to make well-founded decisions.”
HGX explains that its “consortium strategy,” delivers 500,000 investors online, thus providing a competitive advantage versus other private securities markets.
HGX says it will “rapidly penetrate the markets to gain a foothold in the [Asia] region. The company plans to be highly iterative and anticipates engaging with financial institutions around the region as members.
“Private capital markets have been steadily gathering momentum in deal volume and the vibrancy in activities surpasses its public counterparts. We are harnessing our strength to further transform the ecosystem by offering the market with greater liquidity options.”
Teng most recently served as CEO of the Financial Services Regulatory Authority at Abu Dhabi Global Market.

That was a much needed weekend of fun and family time. I’ve been feeling rather stretched thin lately and last week was really hard. Sam is absolutely wonderful but is really trying my patience lately. I wish I had a boundless supply because I’ve really been feeling like I’m at the end of my rope lately. Bill’s been super busy with work and I never know what time he is going to be getting home, around eight o’clock seems to be the norm right now and although the nights are now drawing in, the days have never felt longer.
Last week I was feeling dreadful because in the early evening I would be exhausted and desperate for Bill to be coming home from work. Just as I was hoping with all my might that he wasn’t on IM because he was on his way, I would get a call from the office that would just sink me into despair. I’d just get to a point in the day where I could no longer cope with Sam and even though he is really so well behaved and a complete treasure, I’d be clamouring for a break, feeling deadly tired and like I was going to implode.
One day I had had enough of Sam’s constant energy and I’d been trying to keep him entertained in his room, playing and reading him stories. Oh yes, he loves books. Books are his favourite things, ever. He signs that he wants books. He’ll earnestly beseech me to give him a “booh!” If you go into his room in the morning he’ll instantly get up and go to the book shelf, try to climb up the chest of drawers, get frustrated when you tell him off for climbing and just sign “book!” “book!” “booh!” “booh!” over and over again. I’ll then lift him up so he can choose the book he wants. He always has to have specific books. If I hand him the wrong one it’ll get flung immediately onto the floor with annoyance, and the signing and impatience will continue. Very particular is little Sam.
One boon to having switched to the toddler bed is that it’s now so very nice to be able to sit on the bed next to Sam so he can lean right up against me and we can read books together. I love it. But this day I was so tired it was absolutely awful and I could barely keep my eyes open as I lifted the flaps and read the stories and just wished that I could curl up and have some quiet time. So there I was, absolutely exhausted, and trying to keep up with Sam’s unlimited demand for books and attention and thinking it was still going to be absolutely ages before Daddy arrived home as he hadn’t even called to give his status yet, when who should walk through the nursery door but the man himself. Yay! It’s incredible how quickly I suddenly felt so much better and was able to deal cheerfully with Sam and the housework again. It was then I decided that the hash had to be foregone this weekend, the Allen’s were desperately in need of some family time.
As luck would have it the next day was a mini festival day in East Atlanta Village. It was the annual EAV Strut, a little street festival with music, art booths and food, a 5K for the wide awake and athletic, and, for us the highlight of the day, a carnival parade through the village (which Sam and I’d been supposed to take part in but am disappointed to say that I didn’t get around to dressing up our beast of a stroller in time). Each year the Strut gets better and better. It’s such a great day out and a really nice village event for our neighbourhood.
Bill called his folks and despite the late notice his mom decided to also drive up to Atlanta to get some Sammy time and join us at the Strut. Sadly she didn’t manage to find us in time for the parade, which was small but which a lot of effort had been put in by participants. We stood on the corner, Sam high up on my shoulders and watched children dressed as storybooks and an animal menagerie, the colourful Marching Abominables marching band, a gaggle of scooters, bikes and cyclists, and the Atlanta Rollergirls bumble jovially past. The kids costumes were all great because they were all obviously created by themselves as an art project and made from cardboard, paper, string and crayons. Nothing fancy, but totally awesome.
Spotting Granma hiding amongst the stalls we then tried to meander up and down the high street with Sam in his stroller. We stuck it out long enough for Bill and Granma to get a corndog each and me to get a beloved coffee, before backing away and deciding to go find some quiet and let Sam loose in Brownwood Park. Actually, it wasn’t so quiet there either as a band was playing from the roof of an adjacent house and a large family reunion was taking place in the pavilion, but Sam and I did get to have a good time at the playground while Granma and Bill sat on a nearby bench and watched his crazy antics.
All too soon it was time for Granma to make the drive back to Milledgeville. I’m so glad she was able to join us for the afternoon though, was lovely to see her.

If you are menopausal and swear that your sinuses have suddenly gone haywire, this is not your imagination. Sinus headaches are a frequent complaint of menopausal women.
Headaches in general, including sinus headaches, can be linked to hormonal changes and fluctuations, according to 34-menopause-symptoms.com. When a woman’s estrogen levels drop this impacts the brain and the onset of headaches.
Headaches in General
Menopausal women complain of migraine headaches and tension headaches, as well as sinus headaches, the latter being the third most-frequently experienced headache among menopausal women.
When your sinus cavity becomes inflamed, you can’t get rid of the mucus, which results in pain and pressure in your face, the bridge of your nose, your cheeks, behind your eyes and your forehead. You will experience a congestion or sinus headache because your sinus cavities are blocked.
According to Dr. Elizabeth Lee Vliet, author of "Screaming to be Heard: Hormonal Connections Women Suspect but Doctors Still Ignore," sinus and allergy issues are related to low estrogen levels.
Lack of estrogen increases problems with mucous-lined passages, which are no longer as healthy and lubricated as they were before menopause. When your passages aren't lubricated, your sinuses get clogged up and you will experience a sinus headache.
