Can Abilify cause permanent damage?
Can Abilify cause permanent damage?
While the most common Abilify side effects are minor, serious side effects have been reported. Some side effects, such as tardive dyskinesia, can cause permanent injury even after a person stops taking the drug. And some conditions may even become worse after stopping aripiprazole.
What are the long term side effects of Abilify?
Long term (months or years) of elevated prolactin can lead to osteoporosis or increased risk of bone fractures. Some people may develop muscle-related side effects while taking aripiprazole. The technical terms for these are “extrapyramidal symptoms” (EPS) and “tardive dyskinesia” (TD).
What is the side effects of Abilify?
Dizziness, lightheadedness, drowsiness, nausea, vomiting, tiredness, excess saliva/drooling, blurred vision, weight gain, constipation, headache, and trouble sleeping may occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
Does Abilify cause death?
An overdose of Abilify could be fatal, so seek immediately help or call the Poison Help Line at 1-800-222-1222 if you overdose. Overdose symptoms can include nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, weakness, widening of pupils, confusion, involuntary movements, changes in heartbeat, seizures, and loss of consciousness.
Can Abilify make you manic?
Aripiprazole has been shown to be effective at augmenting antidepressants in patients with MDD. This case and the cases by Padala et al12 and Traber et al13 suggest that, like traditional antidepressants, aripiprazole might also have the potential to precipitate a manic episode in certain patients.
Can you stop Abilify cold turkey?
Although this medication is not classified as addictive, your body may become used to having this drug in its system. As such, you should not stop taking this prescribed medication abruptly; see your doctor before reducing or discontinuing Abilify.
Does Abilify change your personality?
Does aripiprazole change my personality? Many people worry that medications will alter their personality or change who they are. As long as you’re taking the right dosage, aripiprazole will not change your personality or blunt your emotions. Actually, it will help you feel like yourself again.
Will I gain weight on Abilify?
Weight gain induced by atypical antipsychotics is a well known side effect. Among this group of medications, aripiprazole (Abilify®, Bristol Myers Squibb) has been reported to be weight neutral.
Can Abilify make you angry?
The mechanism of partial dopamine agonism observed with aripiprazole may increase dopaminergic activity and worsen positive dopamine-associated symptoms, such as paranoia, agitation, and aggression.
Can Abilify be stopped abruptly?
As such, you should not stop taking this prescribed medication abruptly; see your doctor before reducing or discontinuing Abilify. You can reduce unpleasant withdrawal symptoms by slowly tapering off of the drug. People who suddenly stop taking it may experience any or all of the following effects: Insomnia.
Can you get high on Abilify?
Dopamine agonists such as aripiprazole activate dopamine receptors in the brain, literally opening up those pathways. Among the resulting side effects are euphoria, increased orgasmic activity and pathological addictions that include compulsive gambling, shopping, binge eating and sexual behavior.
How long should you stay on Abilify?
Effects are long lasting, so Abilify is usually taken once daily. May take up to two weeks to achieve stable blood concentrations. Target dosages of 10-15mg per day of Abilify are recommended for schizophrenia; dosages above 15 mg/day have not been found to be more effective than 15 mg/day.

Awesome box set! I love this series! It has strong alpha men who fall hard for the women they love. Definitely worth reading. I was given an ARC from the author/publisher. All conclusions are mine and mine alone.
I love this series. Each book in this series is so riveting, they keep you wanting to read more. I love how each book is tied in together and you get to keep up with the prior characters. *Anchor* After reading the first two books in this series, and loving them, I was excited to get a chance to read this book for an honest review. This book, wow… it had me on a wild rush from the beginning. Most books start out simple and having you racing to the climax of the book. But this one started off with a bang; in my opinion. It had you asking why him, why her, and how is this going to end. It was a short and simple read but I was captivated by it and thrilled that they got their HEA. Great job Ms. Blanchard! *Warrior* Warrior was the first book that I read by Nicole Blanchard. I have a love for the older brother best friend stories so once I read this blurb I was hooked. Ben and Olivia are still my favorite characters throughout this whole series. I’ve been through two pregnancies while my husband was deployed so I felt like I had an instant connection to Olivia. Her strength and determination to move forward in her life and her child’s life just spoke to me. Ben deleting her email’s without reading them pissed me off but at the same time I could understand that his head wasn’t in the right place. I just wish he hadn’t jumped to conclusions on reentering her life. Like I said, these two stole my heart; along with their little boy. *Survivor* When I saw that Ms. Blanchard was continuing her First to Flight series I had to get the next book and continue reading about these character’s lives. Survivor is about Jack and Sofie, Olivia’s brother and best friend, and their second chance at love. Their story was hinted at in Warrior but I was not prepared for what this whole story held until the very end of the book. The emotions throughout this story: the hurt, anger, and misunderstandings. I get where Sofie was coming from and why she pushed Jack and her family away, but wow. Jack was an amazing man. Stepping up and helping to take care of Sofie’s brother’s when he didn’t have to. Not many guys would do that for their ex. These character’s, along with all of Ms. Blanchard’s character’s deserved their happily ever after. I’m so glad they got it. *Savior* I fell in love with the First to Fight series by Nicole Blanchard the first time I read Warrior. Savior was no different. I was so excited to hear that Logan was finally getting his own story. He was always such a caring and concerned friend/cop when it came to Livvie/Ben and Sofie/Jack. I'm glad that he finally got his happily ever after. Savior centers around a psycho serial killer and Piper our heroine, or the one who got away. Piper has been running from her horrible past and just trying to find a place to finally call home. She's given an opportunity to start over when she meets Logan, her next door neighbor. Logan acts a little rough at first but you learn from reading, and from the past stories, that he's just being protective of the people in his life. Logan helps Piper feel again, and in return also find herself. I absolutely loved this story. There was love, passion, and understanding but it wasn't all hurried and pushed. It just all flowed at the right time. I also loved getting little snippets of the past characters and learning how they all tie into each other (I was curious as to how Anchor tied into this whole series and I loved the answer). I loved the epilogue as well. It made me
A First to Fight series is a stunning, out-of-this-world, magnificent series filled to overflowing with fascinating, dream-worthy heroes and sassy, independent heroines that will get your heart racing and keep it thrumming throughout each incredible story. You are sure to fall in love with each couple as they endure their own set of trials and tribulations as they fight for their happy ending for all they are worth. There is no doubt that you will ever find another series as beautifully raw and wondrously intense as this one from an author who knows how to draw out every emotion within you and show you the exquisiteness that can come from life’s hardest circumstances. I have such a hard time choosing my favorite from this incredible collection of wild and wicked books. Anchor definitely takes a top spot, but Warrior just won’t leave my heart. It took me completely by surprise, and it has made a permanent home within my heart. It is a story that shows every aspect of how harsh and demanding life can be along with the possibility of what we can have if we choose to fight for it. This series will challenge everyone in a very different way, and yet they are all valid and sincere. Don’t miss the chance to get to know these extraordinary characters that will etch themselves on a part of your soul for all time. If you are looking for a new author to try, then you must give Nicole Blanchard a try. She is an author that will shock you with her brilliance and hold you captive with her fabulous words of healing, hope, and honor. Her dazzling books are filled with honest realism, incredible heart, and unfaltering promise. I always wait anxiously for her next epic story that I know will rock my world and sear itself onto my heart.
Review Anchor - 5 stars I love romantic suspense, so Anchor was just right for me! I loved the characters, the action, and the romance! I loved the flow of the story, and the writing was great! In Anchor, Chloe is boarding a ferry, when she sees a guy with a gun, and Chloe puts herself in risk to save a little girl, and for her trouble she and some other passengers get taken hostage on the ferry. Gabe is the father of the little girl Chloe saved, and since he's thankful, he wants to help save Chloe and the others from the hostage situation, and somehow through this intense situation, a bond and romance begin to brew between Gabe and Chloe. I enjoyed Anchor a lot! Chloe is wonderful and a badass, and Gabe is a sweetheart and also a badass himself. The chemistry was excellent between them, and the sex scenes were very well written and they were hot! The action was great, and I liked the whole premise for the story. The only things I wasn't loving were small things, so they didn't affect my rating. I could have done without the beginning scene with Gabe and his bed partner from the night before, and also the scenes with Gabe and his ex felt a bit too intimate emotionally for my tastes; I'm not sure why, but I felt like if the circumstances were right, they'd fall into bed together again, so I could have done without that as well, and I also would have liked a bit more time spent on the romance and a bit less time on the ferry. I'm glad I read this, and I'm looking forward to reading more from Nicole Blanchard and more books in this series! Review - Warrior - 4 stars I listened to the audiobook of Warrior, and I loved that there was a female voice for the female lead's chapters, and there was a male voice for the male lead's chapters, and they both did a great job; especially the male speaker. I liked the female voice too, but it was a little bit too breathy for me, but it was good for the sex scenes, so I'm going to mark that down as a good job. In Warrior, Ben is a soldier home for the weekend, when he finally gives in to his attraction to long-time friend, Olivia, the 2 have a very hot, wonderful night together before Ben has to leave again. Ben is going to be away for a long time, and won't have reliable access to outside communication, so even though there are feelings between the two, they don't really solidify anything between them, but some things happen that change things for the both of them, and they need to re-evaluate each of their lives. I love when 2 characters have been trying to resist each other, but in the end, they can't handle it anymore and can't keep their hands off of each other. Poor Olivia has some really upsetting things happen to her, and I really felt for her! Poor girl! I love how resilient she is, and even through tough times, she shows her strength. After reading the premise, I wasn't sure how I'd feel about her, but I'm glad the premise wasn't quite accurate with the whole situation. She does get on my nerves sometimes, but nothing too major, just her being stubborn. Ben has some crap stuff happen to him too, which makes him feel like he doesn't have much to give to a serious relationship, so he withholds himself from Olivia, and for some reason he thinks he is a bad guy, but I never saw anything in this book for why he would feel that way. I love that for the most part he is light-hearted and playful, but he also maintains his sexy manliness. Ben and Olivia are adorable together, and they have some real
So much alpha hotness in one place. I've read each of the 5 books in the First to Fight series, and have swooned over each of the guys in these stories. Nicole really knows how to write amazing alpha hotness. They are all protective of the ladies who have stolen their harts, but each are all yummy for their own unique reasons. This box set is the perfect summertime read, you will wan to grab a cold drink to enjoy these stories of 5 former military men and the women who bring them to their knees.
Ultimate boxed set of Extremely Sexy Military Alpha Men and the Strong, Brave, Sexy Women that they fall hard for struggling to survive and build a future together. These four full length stories and one novella are packed with suspense, danger, emotional struggle, realistic story-lines, believable charters and scorching hot romance. Five insanely hot men that will provide days of highly entertaining, captivating, and emotion filled reading pleasure that will make you want to stay in their carefully crafted intriguing world for as long as possible.
4.5 Thrilling Stars! Wow, what a ride this was! Each book in the First to Fight series will get your heart pumping and take your breath away! Then when you think you can settle in and relax a bit, it will once again take you by surprise. Ms Blanchard created strong, intriguing and sometimes quirky, characters who felt honest and authentic. I enjoyed their banter and their chemistry was explosive. The stories were all fast paced with some mystery & suspense to keep you engaged. I never got bored while reading them because each book had it's own unique and thrilling story line. Each book can be read as a standalone and will make you feel everything from love to loneliness, laughter to heartbreak, and joy to terror. I highly recommend this exhilarating and sexy series!

TORONTO - There aren't many better examples than this of the kind of challenge the Pittsburgh Penguins face as they try to climbing back into the playoff picture.
Jason Blake scored goals 19 seconds apart in the third period Saturday as the Toronto Maple Leafs erased a two-goal deficit and hammered the Penguins 6-2.
The Maple Leafs entered the game as one of the NHL's worst teams on home ice and were returning from a miserable road trip. Even still, they provided the desperate Penguins a reminder that there aren't a lot of easy games on the NHL schedule.
Nik Antropov, John Mitchell, Alexei Ponikarovsky and Matt Stajan also scored for Toronto (21-25-10).
Matt Cooke and Bill Thomas replied for the Penguins (27-24-5), who remain five points behind Buffalo for the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
The Maple Leafs peppered Pittsburgh with 41 shots and pulled ahead for good on Blake's 20th and 21st goals of the season. He backhanded a rebound behind Marc-Andre Fleury 55 seconds into the third period before spinning and bringing the puck to his forehand to beat the goalie again at 1:14.
Pittsburgh appeared stunned and was never able to rebound.
It was the Leafs that were reeling early in the game as goalie Vesa Toskala had a rough opening 10 minutes. He was booed heavily after allowing two goals on the first three shots.
To be fair, it wasn't Toskala's fault that Cooke was able to stand alone in front of the net before scoring at 1:23. Defencemen Luke Schenn and Jeff Finger left him largely untouched.
Toskala could definitely be faulted for the short-handed goal Thomas scored at 8:34. The Penguins winger took a nice pass from Jordan Staal and wired a long shot past Toskala's glove.
The game could have gotten pretty ugly at the point, with the home fans sarcastically cheering a couple successive saves and the Leafs trailing 2-0. But Toskala rebounded, stopping good chances by Ryan Whitney and Sidney Crosby during a power play just before the end of the period.
Those saves proved to be particularly important when the Leafs started taking it to their opponents.
Antropov narrowed the score to 2-1 at 12:53 of the second period. Just seconds after a power play expired, the big Leafs forward knocked the puck out of the air and behind Fleury.
The momentum was clearly in Toronto's favour and it would only be a matter of time before the floodgates opened.
Blake gave the Maple Leafs a 3-2 lead with his quick goals before Mitchell extended that advantage at 7:13 after taking a pass in the slot from Nikolai Kulemin. The Air Canada Centre atmosphere was suddenly buoyant - a somewhat surprising development given the three deflating losses the Leafs had suffered during their recent four-game win streak.
Ponikarovsky and Stajan added goals to make it a five-goal third period for Toronto. Interestingly, Pittsburgh coach Michel Therrien left Fleury in for all of them.
Even with defenceman Sergei Gonchar in the lineup for the first time all season, the Penguins saw their margin for error down the stretch reduced.
The defending Eastern Conference champions have to finish 16-9 just to reach 91 points - and that total hasn't been good enough to qualify for the playoffs any year since the lockout.
Notes: Malkin has 28 points (7-21) in 12 career games against the Maple Leafs ... AHL callup Boyd Devereaux was a healthy scratch for Toronto ... Ruslan Fedotenko returned to Pittsburgh's lineup after missing 15 games with a broken right hand ... Announced attendance was 19,365.

London Americana act CURSE OF LONO have a new single out today and they're premiering it exclusively with Vive Le Rock!
'Tell Me About Your Love' is the second single to be lifted from the band's forthcoming second album As I Fell which is set for release through Submarine Cat on 17 August. The song was written after frontman Felix Bechtolsheimer visited his Grandfather in hospital shortly before he passed away last year.
"I witnessed a conversation between my Grandfather and my Grandmother, who had been married for sixty-nine years and hadn't spent more than a handful of nights apart in all that time,” says Felix. “My Grandfather had lived through the Holocaust where he lost a lot of family and he had lost his son a few years ago, but he insisted that his life had been amazing. He said that he would love to hang around a few more years but that he was ready whenever his time came. Then he took her hand and said, tell me the stories of our life. And I watched them hold hands and look out over the lake together as they recalled their adventures. It was one of the most emotional things I have ever witnessed but it was also incredibly inspiring."
The album, which was produced by Oli Bayston at Rancho V, a remote desert studio in Joshua Tree, California and Flesh & Bone Studios in Hackney, is accompanied by a documentary, Somewhere In Their Heads, by Gregg Houston, which has been nominated for Best Short Documentary at the Los Angeles Film Awards, Best Cinematography at the Independent Shorts Film Festival, Best International Short Film at the Summerfolk Short Film Showcase in Canada, and Best Director and Best Short Documentary at the World Music & Independent Film Festival Awards.

A Model for Water Resources Management and Ecosystem Restoration
The Hydrologic Engineering Center – River Analysis System (HEC‐RAS) is an industry standard hydraulic model used widely in the U.S. and around the world. It can be used to analyze river flows and sediment transport. The Nutrient Simulation Modules (NSM), developed by the ERDC Environmental Laboratory, is a set of water quality dynamic-linked libraries (DLLs) within HEC‐RAS. The NSM is able to simulate carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, silica cycles, algae, benthic algae, dissolved oxygen, carbonaceous biological oxygen demand and pathogen and sediment diagenesis processes. The HEC‐RAS‐NSM provides the public with a fully integrated riverine hydraulic, sediment and water quality model and will greatly aid users with determining total maximum daily loads (TMDLs).
NSM Libraries Can Be Added Quickly and Efficiently
HEC-RAS-NSM allows users to simulate the fate and transport of nutrients in a 1-D dendritic channel system. Before HEC-RAS-NSM, no 1-D model existed that allowed detailed simulation of nutrient fate and transport at this level of detail. Since most large river systems — as well as many smaller rivers and streams in the U.S. — have already been modeled with HEC-RAS, the addition of the NSM to the HEC-RAS modeling system allows users to quickly extend the existing models to simulate water quality, thus saving time and money.
HEC‐RAS‐NSM I was applied to the lower Minnesota River (LMNR). The model results were closely aligned with observed water quality concentrations along the LMNR; moreover, the model reproduced temporal and spatial distributions of nitrogen species, phosphorus species, algae and dissolved oxygen against results created from the CE-QUAL-W2 model. The HEC-RAS-NSM I model allowed realistic predictions based on the combined effects of hydraulic, biological and chemical processes on longitudinal variations in water quality. A greater degree of spatial resolution of water quality was obtained than would otherwise have been possible, due to the relatively complex hydraulics of HEC-RAS. This shows that the HEC-RAS-NSM I model can provide a real predictive capability and aid in assessing riverine water quality.
The ERDC Environmental Laboratory is currently developing several HEC-RAS-NSM I models for the lower Yellowstone and Missouri River system as part of the development of the Missouri River Recovery Management Plan and Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement. The HEC‐RAS‐NSM II has been selected for Wisconsin River TMDL study and will serve as an assessment and management tool for the Wisconsin River basin. The Wisconsin River basin-wide soil and water assessment tool (SWAT) model will provide discharge and nutrient loads from major drainage tributaries to the HEC‐RAS model. A linked SWAT and HEC-RAS-NSM will be applied in this study.
Water quality simulation can be conducted using the chosen complexity level of NSM through HEC‐RAS‐NSM.
- NSM I simulates algal biomass, simple nitrogen and phosphorus cycles, organic carbon, carbonaceous biological oxygen demand, dissolved oxygen and pathogen. There are two options for each state variable: simulated and bypassed. Any combination of water quality constituents can be included or excluded from the simulation.
- NSM II simulates multiple algal biomass, complete nitrogen, phosphorus, carbon and silica cycles, dissolved oxygen, carbonaceous biological oxygen demand, pathogen, alkalinity and pH. In addition, NSM II couples the water column simulation with a benthic sediment diagenesis module. Sediment-water fluxes of dissolved oxygen and nutrients are simulated internally rather than being prescribed.
- Any number of generic constituents, suspended solids groups and carbonaceous biological oxygen demand groups can be simulated from NSM I and NSM II.
- The HEC-RAS graphic user interface (GUI) allows for the rapid development of NSM input datasets. Under the GUI, the preprocessor provides detailed descriptions of all water quality parameters and kinetic coefficients. The postprocessor provides an efficient method for reviewing model results and comparing them with observed data for calibration. The primary output of water quality simulation is concentrations of water quality constituents reported for each cell as well as by each time step.
- A working HEC-RAS hydraulic model can be quickly adapted to model water quality.
The NSM has been integrated with the HEC‐RAS model. The HEC‐RAS is a state‐of‐the art riverine model that can be used to analyze flow, sediment transport and water quality. A linked SWAT and HEC‐RAS modeling system is also available.

Hearing Loss Association of America
HLAA Helps Empower People Facing New Choices in Hearing Health
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is preparing the final rules for a new class of hearing aids that will soon be available in stores and online, without a doctor’s prescription. The idea is to make hearing aids easier to get and more affordable for millions of American adults with mild-to-moderate hearing loss, and it will mean navigating a sea of new information.
Currently, only about 1 in 5 people who could benefit from hearing aids get them — even though untreated hearing loss is linked to mental decline, depression, and falls.
HLAA doesn’t endorse specific products or services but does want to empower consumers to make the best decisions for their hearing health. This e-newsletter article, recently shared with subscribers of The New York Times product review site Wirecutter, offers a closer look at several hearing aids that may soon be available.
The Wirecutter team research included 500 survey responses from our HLAA community to find out what matters most to hearing aid users. The author says this information was key to determining which products and what features to test. More information on hearing aid products is expected from this publication soon.
It’s important to remember that there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to hearing loss. HLAA is a go-to resource as people with hearing loss, and their families, navigate the complex new landscape of products expected to come into the marketplace later this year. The FDA final rules on over-the-counter hearing aids are expected this fall.
If you think you, or a loved one, has a hearing loss, don’t wait! Get your hearing checked today. For more information on hearing health, visit hearwellstayvital.org.

The physical surface of the Earth is in constant change due to climate forcing and human activities. In the Midwestern United States, urban area, farmland, and dedicated energy crop (e.g., switchgrass) cultivation are predicted to expand in the coming decades, which will lead to changes in hydrological processes. This study is designed to (1) project the land use and land cover (LULC) by mid-century using the FORecasting SCEnarios of future land-use (FORE-SCE) model under the A1B greenhouse gas emission scenario (future condition) and (2) assess its potential impacts on the water cycle and water quality against the 2001 baseline condition in the Cedar River Basin using the physically based soil and water assessment tool (SWAT). We compared the baseline LULC (National Land Cover data 2001) and 2050 projection, indicating substantial expansions of urban area and pastureland (including the cultivation of bioenergy crops) and a decrease in rangeland. We then used the above two LULC maps as the input data to drive the SWAT model, keeping other input data (e.g., climate) unchanged to isolate the LULC change impacts. The modeling results indicate that quick-response surface runoff would increase significantly (about 10.5%) due to the projected urban expansion (i.e., increase in impervious areas), and the baseflow would decrease substantially (about 7.3%) because of the reduced infiltration. Although the net effect may cause an increase in water yield, the increased variability may impede its use for public supply. Additionally, the cultivation of bioenergy crops such as switchgrass in the newly added pasture lands may further reduce the soil water content and lead to an increase in nitrogen loading (about 2.5% increase) due to intensified fertilizer application. These study results will be informative to decision makers for sustainable water resource management when facing LULC change and an increasing demand for biofuel production in this area.

The Sweetness of Finitude
The Sweetness of Finitude will be released on January 14th 2022 on Sessionwork Records!
Pianist Verena Zeiner and drummer Ziv Ravitz dedicate the music of their first duo album together to the sweet sensation of finitude — the possibilities that arise when presented with boundaries or the enjoyment of encountering a conclusion.
It’s a meeting of two musicians from completely different cultural backgrounds, raised in two completely different environments. On this album they find commonalities, like their musical roots in improvised music or their approach to making music.
They met 2011 in NYC, when they both lived in the city. A regular artistic exchange was followed by a first collaboration for Verena Zeiner’s solo album No Love without Justice (2020), which was mixed and mastered by Ziv Ravitz.
The Sweetness of Finitude is their dialog through music, dealing with questions of finitude in a duo setting: how can two musicians remain themselves while getting in touch with each other? What are their personal boundaries? How can they each hold their own places, positions, origins and background stories in a dialog and create something new together while being aware of their own personal finitude?

Duckworth awarded Brisbane wildcard
New South Wales talent James Duckworth will make his ATP debut in Brisbane next week.
Outstanding young New South Wales talent James Duckworth will make his ATP debut in Brisbane next week.
The 19-year-old has been awarded the last men’s wildcard into the main draw of the Brisbane International.
Duckworth, a leading member of the AIS Pro Tour Squad, is part of a quality group of teenagers developing quickly under the tutelage of AIS Head Coach Brent Larkham.
“James has made major strides in the last 12 months in what effectively has been his transition year from junior ranks into the seniors,” Larkham explained.
“We are very excited about the maturity he is developing in his game. He, along with Ben Mitchell, Jason Kubler and Luke Saville are part of a group of very talented young Australian players who have a lot of potential. But they all still have a lot of hard work ahead of them. One of the very special things about James though, is his enormous appetite for hard work, “ he said.
Duckworth has made an impressive six Futures finals, winning four titles (in Poland and Italy) slashing his ranking from 755 at the start of the year to be sitting at 275.
Last year he was granted a wildcard into quallies and lost first round to a very tough Russian opponent, Dmitry Tursunov. The young New South Welshman has played 18 tournaments this year for a 40-14 win loss record.
He brought his good overseas form home with him, playing his way into the final of the Australian Open Play-off at Melbourne Park earlier this month.
“This is a terrific opportunity to play at a great venue in a world class event. I want to thank the tournament and the selectors and I plan to make the most of it. It is a step up for me, but I believe I am ready for that step, thanks to a lot of hard work and preparation with our AIS team and support crew, particularly with our Davis Cup physio, strength and conditioning coach Ian Prangley.
Duckworth joins fellow Australians Bernard Tomic, Matt Ebden, Ben Mitchell and Marinko Matosevic in the main draw of the Brisbane International.

Dogs require adequate exercise for a number of reasons:
- It keeps them healthy
- It provides entertainment
- It can help prevent many behavioural problems
- Exercise keeps their brain and body active
- It helps ward off obesity
- Of course, it helps keep YOU healthy
- And it promotes a healthy well-being
However, many of us lead incredibly busy lives, and sadly this can leave the family pooch dealing with pent up energy that has to be released. Sometimes this can lead to an unhappy and destructive pooch.
An underactive dog is also much more likely to be overweight. Obesity is one of the biggest problems currently facing our pet population. Not only can being obese shorten your pet’s life expectancy, it can also trigger debilitating diseases and painful joint conditions.
But enough of the doom and gloom…
How Can We Keep Our Pets Active?
Your average adolescent dog needs around 30 to 60 minutes of heart racing exercise per day. This will differ depending on the age and size of your dog. Even your older dog still needs to get the blood pumping daily (more on that in our senior dog exercise special).
And don’t forget the little guys. Contrary to popular belief, small dogs do not get enough exercise just running around the home. They also need to be walked and actively exercised daily to ensure they’re kept at their correct weight and are thoroughly entertained.
You will notice a huge improvement in your dog’s behaviour the more time and effort you put into your exercise regime. If you cannot walk your dog nicely on a leash, make a promise to yourself and your pooch that this year will be the year to master it! With a little help, patience and research nothing is unattainable!
So, what are the best forms of exercise? Again, this will depend on your dog and its breed. For example, a calmer Border Collie may not need as much exercise as a very active clothesline herding type. So, you need to know your dog’s levels of exuberance, breed exercise requirements and age specific needs.
- Brisk Walk on Lead – This is a great way to ensure your dog is getting a good amount of exercise. A nice brisk walk in the mornings or afternoons will benefit your dog immensely. If you are strapped for time, consider breaking this up into two short brisk walks. Walking on lead offers a wonderful opportunity to improve the important bond you share with your dog, it is also a good way for your dog to check out all the smells of the neighbourhood. Even if you use an off-leash area, consider parking a block away and walking to the park. It’s an ideal way to get some ‘leash’ time, while also keeping you fit.
- Off Leash Run – This would have to be the most preferred option for many dog owners and is certainly a great way to run off any surplus energy. Playing and interacting with other dogs is oodles of fun for any pooch-loving pet. However, it’s vital you keep an eye on your dog and that your dog is 100% under control. A bad experience at an off-leash area can have a knock-on effect on how your dog interacts with other dogs. If there are ‘problem’ dogs down the park, try and distract your dog with the use of a ball or utilising your training. Or consider using the park at ‘quieter’ times and going with a doggy friend. Also, consider changing it up on the weekends, find a new dog beach or go on a trail walk/run with your dog. Remember it’s best to stay away from off-leash areas until your dog is 100% vaccinated.
- Dog Sports – For some dogs these are a saving grace regarding brain and brawn flexing! For a very active dog, having a weekly dose of sports is a fantastic way to keep them occupied and happy. All dogs can be taught to excel at any of the great dog sports on offer. Having your dog involved in a dog sport will allow for ‘safe’ socialisation and will also radically improve the communication you and your dog share. It’s a fun way to train and keep your dog healthy at the same time.
- Fun Training – Think fetch, Frisbees, hide n seek, play-dead, roll over…the list is huge!
What About the Rain?
No need to stop your routine because of a few showers or a spell of bad weather. Make a promise that there is never an excuse to not exercise. Invest in a good waterproof dog coat (and human coat). Or, on particularly bad days, do some in-house brain training! Hide and seek, or teach your dog a new trick. A quick play outside during the rain breaks with a game of fetch can really brighten up a gloomy day and keep your pet active.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia — Canucks president Mike Gillis said Bruins defenseman Johnny Boychuk “used a can opener” in delivering a brutal hit on Mason Raymond that left the Vancouver forward in a Boston hospital with a back injury.
Raymond will miss Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals, and likely the start of next season, after sustaining a vertebrae compression fracture from being checked into the boards 20 seconds into Game 6 on Monday night. The NHL has not disciplined Boychuk.
“All I can tell you is my observations of the hit,” Gillis said. “I didn’t see the puck around him. I thought the Boston player used a can opener and drove him with enough force into the board to break his back.”
Raymond was on the first shift of Boston’s 5-2 victory, which forced a decisive Game 7 tonight. He lay on the ice for several minutes before being helped off and taken to the hospital on a stretcher.
Gillis said he wasn’t sure why Raymond wasn’t taken off the ice on a stretcher, but pointed out that he moved his feet while still on the ice. And the Canucks’ general manager refused to comment on the fact no penalty was called, and no supplementary discipline is coming from the NHL.
Mike Murphy, who is in charge of NHL discipline for the Stanley Cup Finals because Colin Campbell’s son, Gregory, plays for the Bruins, confirmed in an email to the AP that there would be no suspension.
“We do not feel this play requires discipline,” Murphy wrote. “It was an awkward collision that caused Raymond’s injury. Very unfortunate.”

First, let me note that there is actually nothing special about fixing a folding bike chain. It’s the same as fixing a chain on any bike. As far as I know, there are few if any folding bicycles with special chains.
Folding bike chain philosophy
My philosophy is that you should replace your chain once per year. If you do that, it is highly unlikely you’ll ever wear one out, or be left stranded on the side of the road with a broken chain. I like to change mine at the transition to daylight savings time in the Spring each year. A chain costs 10 – 30 dollars. It’s worth spending that much once a year to be sure you won’t have chain problems.
Polished single-speed Swift owned by Eddie of CITY Magazine.
Having said that, sometimes you need to deal with a pesky chain issue while on a ride, and can’t replace the chain at that moment. Most common is that a link gets sticky; meaning that the joint associated with two adjacent links doesn’t pivot very well. That causes the chain to make a funny skipping sound as it goes around the rear cog and through the derailleur pulleys. You can try carefully bending the chain laterally (sideways against the natural direction of pivoting of the chain) back and forth a little bit in an attempt to loosen up the offending joint. That usually works. Still, if you’re having that kind of issue and you’ve been lubricating your chain, I’d be inclined to replace it when you get back home.
Keep the folding bike chain clean
And as a second aside, you really need to make sure your chain is clean and well lubricated. Many of the guys I ride with believe in all kinds of mystical properties of chain lubricants. They can spend dozens of dollars on a tiny tube of exotic aerospace lubricant. As far as I can tell, there are really just two kinds of lubricant. There are “oils” which stay oily on your chain and there are “dry” lubricants which use silicone, graphite, and sometimes waxes to give you some lubrication without any liquid-y qualities. The argument for the dry lubes is that they don’t attract and bind with dust and dirt. Yeah, maybe. I’m not really convinced. Personally, I favor wiping down the chain before every ride and applying motor oil to the chain via a little squeeze bottle. Then, you wipe it down again before you head out on the ride. I put my bike up on a stand, then I rest my left hand on the derailleur cage and place the spout of the squeeze bottle on the inside edge of the chain. Then I use my right hand to crank the pedals backward. I squeeze lube onto the inside edge of the chain until everything is nice and oily and I keep cranking for a dozen or so cycles to work the oil into the joints. I then hold a dry cloth on the chain with my left hand as I crank backward with my right hand, to remove excess lubricant. I’d rather spend my money on a new chain every season than on some exotic lubricant.
Replacing a folding bike chain is not that hard. We give instructions here.
The main thing you have to worry about is getting the right chain for your rear cluster and derailleur. In simple terms, chains come in different widths for different numbers of cogs in the rear cassette. The widest chains are for single-speed bikes (BMX and Fixies). Next widest is for 5-6-7 speed cassettes. Then 8-speed cassettes. Then 9-speed cassettes. Finally, 10-speed cassettes take the narrowest chains. Having said that, I think it makes sense that if you have a 9 or 10-speed cassette that you match the manufacturer of the cassette and derailleur with the chains. In most cases that means using an SRAM chain with an SRAM cassette or a Shimano chain with a Shimano cassette That may be superstition, but the geometry of the teeth on a Shimano cassette is different enough from that of an SRAM cassette that I think it makes sense to match up brands.
The Xootr Swift uses an utterly standard 8-speed SRAM cassette and derailleur. You can use pretty near any 8-speed chain on it. We like the KMC Z72 because it’s inexpensive and bullet proof.

China launched two satellites to monitor the environment and natural disasters on Saturday. The satellites are the first of their kind put into space by China.
They can closely track natural disasters, and provide quick assessments of damage to guide rescue and reconstruction work. China used satellite images to help assess damage to infrastructure after the massive Wenchuan earthquake in May.

Beijing, Aug 16 (EFE).- The Taiwan Work Office of the Communist Party of China Central Committee on Tuesday announced sanctions against those it described as “Taiwan independence diehards,” the state Xinhua news agency reported.
Among those sanctioned are vice president of Taiwan’s legislature, Tsai Chi-chang, activists such as Lin Fei-fan, and other members of the ruling Democratic Progressive Party such as Bi-khim Hsiao, Wang Ting-yu and Koo Li-hsiung.
These people join a list that already includes the island’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Joseph Wu.
Those sanctioned and their close relatives will be banned from entering mainland China, Hong Kong and Macao, and their companies and organizations will not be allowed to carry out activities in mainland China for profit.
Those on the list will “be held to lifelong accountability according to law,” according to an Office spokesman quoted by Xinhua.
The Office said that “for some time, a few diehard separatist elements, out of their own interests, have gone to their lengths to collude with external forces in provocations advocating ‘Taiwan independence,'” behavior that became “more egregious” during the visit of US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to the island earlier this month.
China responded to the trip with military exercises around the island and trade sanctions on some Taiwanese products, as well as on Pelosi and her close relatives.
Shortly after the US politician’s visit, Chinese authorities arrested a Taiwanese citizen living in the eastern Chinese city of Wenzhou for his alleged involvement in “separatist activities.”
China views Taiwan as a rebel province of the mainland and has not ruled out use of force to achieve “reunification.” EFE

When Jack Met Jill
When Jack Met Jill
The Bellingham Theatre Guild presents When Jack Met Jill by Adam Szymkowicz, the BTG official entry to the Kaleidoscope State Theatre Festival, for its premiere local performances at the New Prospect Theatre on January 12-15, 2023. Directed by Suzanne Mackay and a cast of fabulous local actors, WHEN JACK MET JILL follows the mostly-post-bucket lives of the famous couple throughout time and the ages as they struggle with the definitions of their relationship to each other. This goofy adult travail, like most of Szymkowicz’s work, mixes light and dark with a contemporary wariness of either.
Evening performances January 12-14 are at 8:00 pm, and the matinee on January 15th starts at 1:00 pm. Tickets are $15; available at https://bpt.me/5679561 or newprospecttheatre.com.

When Jack Met Jill will be the Bellingham Theatre Guild’s sixth play entered into the adjudicated community theater competition over the years, with previous shows earning awards at the State, Regional and National levels. Plays are limited to one hour with a ten-minute set-up/take-down time, and the talented actors (David Bolden, Kris Erickson, Audrey Henderson, Karl Ritter-Smith) and designers (Chris Coombs, Keefe Healy) get one performance to prove they deserve to move forward to Regional, and, hopefully, National stages. This time, Bellingham Theatre Guild is presenting their entry for local consumption at the New Prospect Theatre cuz what’s the point of local theatre without sharing locally with locals? Exactly! Come on down to the New Prospect Theatre, cheer us on and support two theaters with one show!
“WHEN JACK MET JILL is produced by special arrangement with THE GERSH AGENCY, 41 Madison Avenue, 29th Floor, New York NY 10010.

text: So, I have recently seen some new and somewhat strange (or at least intriguing) behavior from one of my WH. I am beginning to put my new baby Runners outside during part of the day. They are about a hundred feet from my WH, but they can see each other. The WH are still really babies themselves- not even three months old yet. One of the female WH just goes nuts when she sees the baby Runners. She becomes frantic and calls to them SO LOUD it is unreal! I have never in all the years I have kept ducks seen anything like it, certainly not to this degree or with such a young bird. I have heard that WH will go broody, more so than other large ducks. It certainly seems like this one might be one that does!

Ottawa is the capital city of Canada. It stands on the south bank of the Ottawa River in the eastern portion of southern Ontario. Ottawa borders Gatineau, Quebec, and forms the core of the Ottawa–Gatineau census metropolitan area (CMA) and the National Capital Region (NCR). As of 2016, Ottawa had a city population of 934,243 and a metropolitan population of 1,323,783 making it the fourth-largest city and the fifth-largest CMA in Canada. In June 2019, the City of Ottawa estimated it had surpassed a population of a million. We can help you get homes for sale in Ottawa | Ottawa Homes For sale today.
Ottawa is known as one of the most educated cities in Canada, with over half the population having graduated from college and/or university. Ottawa has the highest per capita concentration of engineers, scientists, and residents with PhDs in Canada.
The city has two main public universities:
Carleton University was founded in 1942 to meet the needs of returning World War II veterans and later became Ontario’s first private, non-denominational college. Over time, Carleton would make the transition to the public university that it is today. In recent years, Carleton has become ranked highly among comprehensive universities in Canada. The university’s campus sits between Old Ottawa South and Dow’s Lake.
The University of Ottawa (originally named the “College of Bytown”) was the first post-secondary institution established in the city in 1848. The university would eventually expand to become the largest English-French bilingual university in the world. It is also a member of the U15, a group of highly respected research-intensive universities in Canada. The university’s campus is in the Sandy Hill neighbourhood, just adjacent to the city’s downtown core.
Ottawa also has two main public colleges – Algonquin College and La Cité collégiale. It also has two Catholic universities – Dominican University College and Saint Paul University. Other colleges and universities in nearby areas (namely, the neighbouring city of Gatineau) include the University of Quebec en Outaouais, Cégep de l’Outaouais, and Heritage College.
Ottawa is served by a number of airlines that fly into the Ottawa Macdonald–Cartier International Airport (IATA: YOW, ICAO: CYOW), as well as two main regional airports Gatineau-Ottawa Executive Airport, and the Ottawa/Carp Airport.
Inter-city trains and buses
Ottawa station (IATA: XDS), is the main inter-city train station operated by Via Rail. It is located 4 km to the east of downtown in Eastway Gardens and serves Via Rail’s Corridor Route. The city is also served by inter-city passenger rail service at Fallowfield station in Barrhaven.
Inter-city bus services operate out of Ottawa Central Station, 1.5 km south of downtown in Centretown and just north of Highway 417.
Bus and rail:
OC Transpo, a department of the city, operates the public transit system.OC Transpo operates an integrated, multi-modal Rapid Transit system which includes:
Line 1, also known as the Confederation Line, which operates medium-capacity trains which travel under the city’s downtown core,
Line 2, also known as the Trillium Line, which is a north-south light rail transit corridor connecting the airport and south end of Ottawa to Line 1, and
a vast system of over 190 bus routes served by a fleet of ordinary, articulated and double-decker buses along grade-separated, transit-only corridors with long distances between stops and full station amenities (including platforms, walkways, ticket booths, elevators and convenience stores), which connects Ottawa’s suburbs to the inner city.
The Rapid bus service network operates all day, 7 days a week, reaching Kanata to the West, Barrhaven to the South-West, Orléans to the East, and South Keys to the South. There are also several night bus routes that cover Line 1’s downtown stations while it is shut off for the night, and backup service to downtown while the train is delayed.
Both OC Transpo and the Quebec-based Société de transport de l’Outaouais (STO) operate bus services between Ottawa and Gatineau.
OC Transpo also operates a door-to-door bus service for the differently-abled known as ParaTranspo.
Construction was recently completed on the Confederation Line, a 12.5-kilometre (7.8 mi) light-rail transit line (LRT), which includes a 2.5-kilometre (1.6 mi) tunnel through the downtown area featuring three underground stations. The project broke ground in 2013, and opened in September 2019. A further 30 km (19 mi) and 19 stations will be built by 2023, referred to as the Stage 2 plan. There is a proposed LRT system that would link Ottawa with Gatineau. Homes for sale in Ottawa | Ottawa Homes For sale today

Firefighter Turnout Gear Cancer Attorneys & Firefighter Cancer Lawsuits
Corboy & Demetrio is currently representing firefighters who have cancer and other illnesses after exposure to the dangerous and toxic group of chemicals, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, which are known as PFAS, and are potentially linked to firefighters' turnout gear.
The Danger of PFAS in Turnout Gear to Firefighters and their Families
PFAS are sometimes called “forever chemicals” because they do not break down quickly and stay around for a longtime, posing danger to both firefighters and their families, potentially causing chronic illness and cancer to both firefighters and those who come into contact with their turnout gear.
Long-term exposure to PFAS in high concentrations causes a buildup, which has been linked to cancers, including testicular, liver, colorectal, kidney and bladder.
PFAS and Turnout Gear
Turnout gear is manufactured from textiles that are either created using certain PFAS or are later treated with PFAS to create water resistance. Recent studies show turnout gear exposes not only the firefighter wearing the gear, but also family members and other people handling the gear, to significant levels of PFAS through skin absorption and through ingesting or breathing the chemicals shed from the gear, including through dust.
PFAS and Firefighting Turnout Gear
PFAS are associated with a wide range of cancers and other illnesses, including:
- Kidney Cancer
- Testicular Cancer
- Liver Cancer
- Bladder Cancer
- Breast Cancer
- Colorectal Cancer
- Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma
Corboy & Demetrio is investigating the potential liability of both the manufacturers of the chemicals and manufacturers of the gear. The firm currently represents firefighters throughout Illinois and is accepting cases nationwide.
If you or a family member would like more information about the litigation, contact Corboy & Demetrio Managing Partner Ken Lumb or Partner Bill Gibbs at 312-346-3191. You can also email them at email@example.com.
