So you've got a puppy? And you want to know
"How do I do ...?"
"What have you done when ...?"
"Why have you done that, not this?"
Right! You can SEE all of this. And not just German Shepherd Puppy Training, not just training ANY puppy, but you can see everything!
==> How to raise a tiny puppy into a healthy and well-behaved adult dog! Puppy food and feeding, socialization and training, health and puppy care, EVERYTHING.
Puppy Training the right way
Because I looked, and I couldn't find anyone having kept a LIVE and MULTIMEDIA diary how to raise a puppy right. Solving all the health and behavior problems one can possibly experience with a puppy!
Superior DIY Puppy Care
And not just haphazardly raising the puppy, mind you.
But raising a tiny puppy all the way into a HEALTHY and WELL-BEHAVED adult dog!
No one shows this, no one has documented this.
And yet, it would of course be such a blessing for every new puppy owner!
There are thousands of "New Puppy" books on the market: Puppy Training, Puppy Care, even Puppy Health.
And puppy food too, yes.
Puppy Food and Feeding
But ALL books obviously are just a selective recollection of what the author believes to remember, if at all.
And yet with a new puppy we want to know the things that aren't in the book. The details that authors leave out.
And the FEELINGS of a new puppy owner. The worries. The stress. The sorrows. The problems. The solutions. The joys.
Managing difficult behaviors
And yes, of ALL OF IT: Puppy Training, Puppy Care, and Puppy Health, including puppy food and feeding, oh yes!
Puppy Safety Training
Ta ta ta...!
Bonding and Relationship Building
And so I recorded live, every week, what's going on with the new puppy!
And No Restrictions needed!
A German Shepherd puppy, but that's secondary.
"My New Puppy Diary" should be the goldmine for every new puppy owner, so much is in it!
You want access?
It's right here for you: My New Puppy Diary. Enjoy!
Look over my shoulder. Feel what I feel. Learn from my mistakes that I openly discuss. Do it better.
Because you cannot do worse: You see what I do, and what the outcome is.
A healthy and well-behaved adult dog FOR LIFE!
If ever you appreciate the immense work to maintain this uniquely helpful house, feel free to donate a meal.

The Yankees' rotation received a shot of hope Thursday night.
Lefty Andy Pettitte, who hasn't pitched since July 18 because of a strained left groin, threw four shutout innings for Class AA Trenton (N.J.) in an Eastern League playoff game vs. the New Hampshire Fisher Cats. Pettitte threw 51 pitches, 37 for strikes. He threw an extra 14 pitches in the bullpen.
"I want to get back," Pettitte said, according to the Associated Press. "I want to pitch in the big leagues as soon as I can and help my club. I feel I can give us a pretty decent four or five innings my next time out if I have to make a big league start."
Pettitte was 11-2 with a 2.88 ERA in 18 starts for the Yankees. He was generally happy with his ability to locate his fastball down and away for strikes. He also liked his curveball, but was wild with his changeup.
"It was a step in the right direction," he said. "I feel my stuff will get better each time I get out there."
CC Sabathia is sound in the Yankees' rotation, but Pettitte's comeback is needed given that A.J. Burnett and Javier Vazquez have not been good and Phil Hughes has recently become inconsistent.
A season-high crowd of 8,072 watched the game at Mercer County Waterfront Park in Trenton, which leads the best-of-five series 2-0, so the Yankees aren't sure when Pettitte's next turn will come.
Pettitte once started nine consecutive Game 2 postseason games. Of course, he started Game 2 for Trenton.
"You know, I was kind of worried about pitching Game 1," Pettitte joked in The New York Times.

Supreme Court announces verdict in the disqualification period case under Article 62 (1)(f)
ISLAMABAD - Supreme Court (SC) today announced the verdict in the disqualification period case for the parliamentarians.
SC verdict in the case regarding period of disqualification of members of the parliament under Article 62(1)(f) of the Constitution made the lawmakers unable to contest elections for the rest of their life.
Justice Umar Ata Bandiyal read out the verdict, which seals the political fate of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf leader Jahangir Tareen and other lawmakers disqualified under the said article.
The court has ruled that the disqualification will hold until the court declaration disqualifying the lawmaker stands.
Justice Umar Ata Bandiyal read out the verdict, while, the decision was made unanimously by five-member bench under Chief Justice of Pakistan, Justice Saqib Nisar.
Nawaz Sharif can neither contest elections in future nor head his party.
However, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) rejected Supreme Court’s decision.
A five-judge larger bench, headed by Chief Justice Mian Saqib Nisar, on February 14 reserved the judgment on review petitions of the former legislators seeking interpretation regarding timeframe of disqualification under the said article of the Constitution.
The other members of the bench who heard the case were Justice Sheikh Azmat Saeed, Justice Umar Ata Bandial, Justice Ijazul Ahsan and Justice Sajjad Ali Shah.

Last year on Valentine’s Day 2011, I posed a very simple question right here on my blog: “What does love mean to you?”
Little did I know that asking this question would invite the entire world to my doorstep.
The blog post sparked an incredible global discussion on the meaning of love: one that transcended boundaries of landmasses and seas; overcame language barriers, nationalities and skin-deep differences; and would incidentally become a miniature-Mecca to humanity’s devotion to Love.
Yup, in the last year alone, literally thousands upon thousands have come from all corners of the Earth searching for the phrase, “What does love mean to you?“
They have arrived from places like Malaysia, India, Trinidad and Tobago, Russia, Israel, all across Europe, throughout the Americas and beyond — with the beautiful curiosity of what love truly means.
A year ago, asking that simple question on this blog would result in the post becoming the most visited blog post in the three-year history of DaveUrsillo.com — constituting a whopping 9.04% of total traffic to my blog in those 12 months!
Of course, this isn’t about blogging or web traffic — it’s about how wonderful it has been to have accidentally discovered such an alluring question, which, in turn, became a beautiful representation to how human beings around the world are utterly devoted to love.
Love transcends every trivial boundary, division or separation that keeps us apart. It binds us, it unites us. It is the common ground we look to find in meetings, the unity we desire to achieve in discussions and debates on important social and political issues. It is the global peace we long to achieve.
Love is the contentment of Being, simply within ourselves.
And so, on this Valentine’s Day in 2012, I wanted to not only share with you this wonderful story about love, but also to share with you the dozens upon dozens of utterly beautiful insights on love that have been written by human beings from around the world.
And, who knows…
When you’re reading this list over and imagining those typing fingers of all shapes and sorts and colors… nestled away in an endless variety of nooks and corners of planet Earth… opening their hearts and souls to delve into the meaning of love… you might just feel a little better, a little brighter and a little more loving.
And if you ever have a bad day or a moment of doubt about the human species, or our dedication to love, or our natural wants of simple peace and happiness… look no further.
What Love Means Around the World…
Below is a mashup of all of the incredible things people around the world have said about love in the comments section of last year’s post. Enjoy it. And, Happy Valentine’s Day to you!!
Love is the Fulfillment of Life.
Love is everything.
Love is God. God is Love.
To Love is to Be who you Truly are
Love is what makes you smile when you’re tired.
I think in true love, you lay down your life everyday for it. Sometimes it’s a small sacrifice… and sometimes it is without measure.
Love is laying aside self for someone else.
Love is not an emotion; to say this is to discredit its power.
Love is When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different.
love is when you cant sleep cause you are think about them love is when you are so in love that you cant think when you are not with them.
love is amazing. love is awesome.
love is when you don’t care what they look like u just love their personality.
Love is a dream.
Love is a strong feeling for some person , friend , family girlfriend/boyfriend etc.
love is the most powerful thing in the world.
love is different to different people. there are different types of love.
Love is beautiful!!!
To understand your love from who they are to their flaws and mistakes, nobody is perfect or flawless. To understand limits and space with your love, To forgive and to sacrifice just to be with your love.
Everyday that you are not with him/her, you wonder what she/he is doing and wonder if she/he is thinking the same thing.
Loving everything about your love, not just one aspect of that person, everything that your love does makes your heart dance and your mind sings a love song to you.
Love is not something that should be done very quickly, it should have time and when your time comes, you will know you’re in love.
Never giving up on love because there’s a lot of chances in the world, just be patience and believe that one day you will find that special someone for you.
Love means accepting someone(s) and something(s) exactly the way they are in this moment.
When I live in love, I see only perfection.
love isn’t something that should be thrown around like a little rag doll it is a gently caring
Love is not a thing it is a state of being. Love is in the sunrise and the sunset. Love is compassion, kindness and caring to those less fortunate and those more fortunate. It does not compete.
Love is ALL.
Love is within radiating outwards to ALL. Love is the pure spirit of every being.
Indeed, love is not an emotion. The peace you feel from love is the emotion.
Love is completion without possession. Being with someone because you want to be with them, not because you need them to complete you.
You can not put a word on love…it is a feeling, a knowing, that this is right and is where you need to be. With real love, there is no doubt between the head and the heart, they are both in sync.
the best type of love is where you try to make yourself whole first. So that instead of being “half”, and putting the responsibility for your wholeness and emotional well-being on the actions and validations of another, you make sure your love comes from a wholeness so that you contain enough to support yourself and sometimes another. The thing is, if you give yourself unconditional love and acceptance, you have it, and if you give it away, you still have it.
To me, love is an emotion of happiness when I am able to share something of myself, my time or my knowledge, with others unconditionally.
It’s more than words. It’s actions in small moments.
To me, love is much greater than what we feel romantically. It is what makes us sing, dance and makes us human.
Love is the most amazing thing in our lives. It is what makes us human, what makes life worth living. Nothing else truly matters.
Love is the energy that connects us to everything. It is infinite and does not vary depending on who or what it is intended for. It is our god in its purest form.
To me, love means tapping into that inner, never-ending pool of gratitude & acceptance. Acknowledging the Divine Light in us all.
Love is a form of celebration.
Love means honesty and trust. It means being true to yourself and eachother. It means never taking eachother for granted and laughing every day.
To me, love is life, and life is love.
Love is not a fleeting, hard-to-capture moment or a level of emotion that we can only hope to attain by finding “our better half” in hopes of being “complete.”
Although forever imperfect, we are complete. Although forever flawed, we are whole. We are all that we need for completeness. Those whom we love only serve to challenge us and enhance us to become better people.
Love is a state of Being. It is a state of mind. It is a total openness to what is and what is not.
Love is forgiveness and compassion, patient determination, and the dedicated Will to better the lives of those around us.”

I consider early spring the best time of year. Not because of the bud break, no; because of the shad roe. The egg sac of a member of the herring family, shad roe is my very favorite food. Right now, when shad migrate upriver to spawn, they're culled not only for their bony, white fillets but for their crimson roe, which grows inside cleft-shaped sacs, one pair of lobes per female. Shad roe is so delicious that through the rest of the year, I pine for March spawning season. But populations have been so depreciated from habitat loss and overfishing, it doesn't feel right to eat it for any more than one meal a year. So, I try to make it a good one.
Like the Victorians, I prefer shad roe for breakfast. I like to pan-fry the lobes in butter until they're firm to the touch and a dark golden brown. Then I blanket them in plenty of carmelly, custardy sauteed shallots, and drizzle on a caper-brown butter sauce, made with a little white wine and squeeze of lemon. Served alongside teensy roasted potatoes and a fried egg, the lily gilded with chopped parsley and chives, it's a ridiculously luxurious way to wake up: the shad roe is wonderfully meaty, slightly livery, and with a deeply umami taste. In its richness and flavor, it falls somewhere between kidneys and sweetbreads, rather as if the animal that it came from didn't swim in the river so much as walked its banks. It wants a glass of wine before noon. It wants a nap directly afterwards.
As a meal, it's terribly sophisticated and satisfying. And it makes me feel part of a legacy of legendary bon vivants: Joseph Mitchell, the midcentury New Yorker's streetwise columnist, gathering tales of the Fulton Fish Market over an early-morning shad roe omelet at a fishmongers' hangout. Or Eartha Kitt singing Cole Porter: "Why ask if shad do it? Waiter, bring me shad roe." __

I’ve finally done it. After years of enjoying music, I’m finally learning how to play it. That’s right, I’m now the proud owner of a banjo. It was the music of several artists that influenced my decision to learn: Sufjan Stevens, Sam Beam…Kermit. I’ve been infatuated with the sound of the banjo thanks the resurgence of the instrument through these folk artists. My favorite albums of theirs rely heavily on the banjo. For instance, even though I’m not particularly religious (read: not at all), my favorite Sufjan album is Seven Swans. So, you can understand my dismay when I heard that the forthcoming album from Iron & Wine was to be, in the words of the artist, “significantly different.” The Shepherd’s Dog, arriving in late September, is the result of work done over the last two years, only delayed to stores because of the birth of Beam’s fourth child. Boy With a Coin is a preview single / EP for the album, featuring one song from the album, the title track, and two b-sides. If these songs are any indication, which they must be, then I had nothing to worry about.
It seems ages ago that we were last blessed with an Iron & Wine album. Not counting the collaboration with Calexico, it’s been three years since we’ve seen a full-length album from the Florida native and current Austin, Texas resident. If the waiting has become unbearable, Sub Pop has at least temporarily slaked our thirst for a brief while. “Carried Home” is the perfect choice as an opening track, as it is a delicate bridge between Our Endless Numbered Days (particularly “Free Until They Cut Me Down”) and the upcoming The Shepherd’s Dog. We are treated to Beam’s intimate vocals delivering more of his story-based songwriting, but we are also hearing more than we heard before. There are keyboards, Caribbean percussion and various and sundry other textural sounds throughout the six and a half minute track. The lyrics themselves actually paint a picture more than tell a story, this time of a small Southern town atmosphere in which the people welcome home a dead soldier. “Kingdom of the Animals,” a summery love story about a girl named Jenny, has Beam dropping the guitar for the piano, which is somewhat jarring at first, but his voice with its whispery falsetto tone sets us at ease, even throughout the twanging steel that finds Beam leaning more towards country than folk.
But the true shining moment belongs to “Boy With a Coin,” the song that truly heralds what is to come. Rhythmic handclaps, wah-wah guitars and heavy bass drum sounds introduce the new sound of Iron & Wine in a dramatic and incredibly exciting manner. Yes, this is still the recognizable Sam Beam we all came to know and love with songs like “Jesus the Mexican Boy” and his cover of “Such Great Heights.” It’s just that Sam has enriched his musical vocabulary. Think of Sam Beam as a thick juicy steak, unless you’re a vegetarian, and then think of him as a huge Portobello mushroom. The extra instruments and broader sound, of which I was initially afeard, are like Montreal seasoning. Yes, it changes the flavor of the steak, but you still know what you’re eating, and it simply enhances the experience. “Boy With a Coin” is an incredibly infectious song, not exactly easily classifiable as pop quite yet, but Sam Beam has put a little more indie into his indie folk. Actually, what’s most impressive of all is that Beam sounds cooler than ever, even now that he has four kids.

Think for a moment about what it takes to pull off a school or church fall
festival: a committee is formed, booths assigned, volunteers scheduled, signage prepared, directions provided , power strips arranged, and on and on. It’s no small thing to open the doors and invite everyone inside, and moms are often the community hostesses who make it look easy.
If your family participated in a fall festival, you may have left thinking only of what a good time you had, and that was the intention. But somebody had to kneel behind the fishing hole and attach prizes to a clothespin, or learn to operate a rented cotton candy machine, or spray kids’ hair in fluorescent colors. Then, there were the moms who donated bags of candy, or watched someone’s kid so a group of young friends could hang out together, or baked/bought a cake for the cakewalk because it was a nice thing to do.
Fall festivals raise money for the school, but they are also essential to the sense of community that we want to foster. These are the environments that shape our kids and become extensions of home. The coordinated effort of dedicated moms gives these places and events their personality and our shared sense of kinship as we experience them together.
THANK YOU, moms, for bringing us another season of fun.

A conference seeking to eliminate dating violence, sexual assault and stalking is being hosted later this month by Fort Valley State University.
The “Lipstick, Hugs and Kisses Conference” is from noon to 2 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 26. The event is sponsored by the Fort Valley Chapter of The Links, Incorporated, an international not-for-profit, professional women of color organization. The conference is open to the public.
“The purpose of the Lipstick, Hugs and Kisses Conference is to engage and expand the conversation in the university community about issues such as dating violence, intimate partner violence, teen dating violence, sexual assault and stalking, particularly against women and girls,” event organizer Shirlyn Johnson Granville stated in a FVSU news release.
“Our goal is to help women to not become victims and to help those already suffering to rebuild their lives.” she said.
The event is expected to include a panel discussion on domestic violence, the release stated.
Among those scheduled to serve on the panel is Daphne Walker, president and chief executive officer of Partnership Against Domestic Violence, which is billed as the state’s largest nonprofit domestic violence organization. Walker, a Fort Valley native, is a former judge, private criminal defense attorney and senior district attorney in Fulton County’s Crimes Against Women and Children Unit.
Break-out sessions are expected to follow the panel session, Josephine Davis, president of the Fort Valley Chapter of The Links, said by telephone Friday.
Dr. Debra Wilson Jones of Warner Robins, a long-time dentist and retired U.S. Air Force officer, is expected to lead an HIV/AIDs session, Davis said. Wilson Jones has presented lectures across the country and has done an educational series on HIV/AIDS, the release stated.
She’s expected to talk about how community collaborations that emphasize education and testing can help to alter the number of young adults being infected, the release stated.
Also, representatives of Middle Georgia healthcare organizations are expected to be on hand to distribute literature, answer questions and conduct HIV/AIDS testing on site.
Jones said that her goal for the conference is raise the conscious level of students.
“What we really hope is to break this cycle of abuse,” Davis said.

Advanced Creative Writing Online: High-Level Writing Programs
What is advanced creative writing online?Explore advanced creative writing courses available online. This article highlights programs for writers seeking high-level instruction.
What is advanced creative writing online?
"Advanced creative writing online" typically refers to higher-level or more specialized creative writing programs offered through online platforms. These programs are designed for writers who have already developed a foundation in creative writing and are seeking more advanced techniques, critical feedback, and opportunities to hone their skills at an advanced level.
Here are some features and components commonly associated with advanced creative writing online programs:
- These programs often delve into advanced writing techniques, styles, and genres. They may explore complex narrative structures, experimental forms, and the nuances of different literary traditions.
Workshopping and Peer Review:
- Advanced creative writing courses typically involve a significant amount of workshopping. Writers share their work with peers, and in-depth peer reviews and critiques become an integral part of the learning process.
- In addition to peer feedback, participants often receive individualized feedback from instructors. This feedback may focus on specific aspects of the writing, helping writers refine their skills and address unique challenges.
- Advanced creative writing programs may include a stronger emphasis on literary analysis. Writers may study and analyze works of established authors to understand advanced literary concepts and techniques.
Crafting a Manuscript:
- Some advanced programs may guide writers in crafting a longer manuscript, such as a novel or a collection of short stories or poems. This involves sustained and focused work on a larger creative project.
Publishing and Professional Development:
- Programs at an advanced level may also include modules on the publishing industry, submission strategies, and other aspects of professional development for writers aiming to publish their work.
- Some advanced creative writing courses allow for specialization in specific genres, such as literary fiction, historical fiction, science fiction, fantasy, poetry, or creative nonfiction. Writers can deepen their expertise in their chosen genre.
Interactive Online Platforms:
- These programs are often delivered through interactive online platforms that facilitate real-time discussions, video conferences, and collaborative workshops. This allows participants to engage with instructors and peers from around the world.
Guest Lecturers and Industry Professionals:
- Many advanced creative writing programs feature guest lectures by established authors, editors, literary agents, or other industry professionals. This exposure provides insights into the writing industry and opportunities for networking.
Research and Experimentation:
- Advanced programs may encourage writers to explore research-based writing and experimental forms. This could involve incorporating historical or scientific research into creative works or experimenting with unconventional narrative structures.
These advanced creative writing programs are often offered by universities, writing organizations, or dedicated online platforms. They may lead to certificates, diplomas, or even advanced degrees in creative writing. Aspiring participants typically need to have a solid foundation in basic creative writing skills before enrolling in these advanced programs.
What does an advanced creative writing course entail when taken online?
An advanced online creative writing course typically delves deeper into the craft of writing, providing aspiring authors with opportunities to hone their skills, develop their voice, and refine their work. Here's what you can expect:
Focus on specific genres or techniques: Unlike introductory courses that cover general writing principles, advanced courses often focus on specific genres like fiction, poetry, playwriting, or creative nonfiction. They may also delve into advanced techniques like character development, worldbuilding, plotting, dialogue, and style.
In-depth exploration of literary devices and theory: These courses go beyond surface-level writing techniques and explore the use of literary devices like symbolism, imagery, metaphor, and irony. They may also introduce literary theory and critical thinking skills to help you analyze and understand your own writing and the work of others.
Rigorous feedback and peer review: Advanced courses typically involve a strong emphasis on feedback and critique. You'll receive personalized feedback from your instructor and participate in peer review sessions, allowing you to learn from the strengths and weaknesses of your own work and that of your peers.
Development of individual voice and style: Beyond technical skills, advanced courses encourage you to discover and develop your unique voice and writing style. This might involve exploring diverse writing styles, experimenting with form and content, and finding your authentic expression as a writer.
Interactive and supportive online community: Online learning doesn't have to be isolating. Advanced courses often foster a supportive community of writers through online forums, discussion boards, and interactive workshops. This allows you to connect with fellow writers, share your work, and learn from each other's experiences.
Portfolio development and publication opportunities: Many advanced courses help you build a portfolio of your best work and prepare for publication. This might involve guidance on submitting your work to literary magazines, contests, agents, or publishers.
Additional features of online advanced creative writing courses may include:
- Access to guest lectures by renowned authors or writing professionals.
- Live online workshops and Q&A sessions with your instructor.
- Online writing prompts and exercises to challenge and inspire your creativity.
- Opportunities to participate in online writing contests or readings.
- Access to exclusive online resources and writing communities.
The specific features and content of an advanced online creative writing course will vary depending on the provider, instructor, and genre focus. However, you can expect a challenging and rewarding learning experience that can significantly improve your writing skills, expand your literary knowledge, and help you develop your unique voice as a writer.

IMF: US budget cuts 'ill-designed'
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has urged the US to repeal the huge federal budget cuts introduced this year, denouncing them as "excessively rapid and ill-designed".
It said the deficit reduction programme would be a drag on growth this year.
It forecast growth of 1.9% for 2013, but said it could be as much as 1.75 percentage points higher without the rapid tightening of fiscal policy.
But the IMF added that the overall US economy was improving.
While the recovery had been "tepid", it said the overall fundamentals had been gradually getting better.
It pointed to a rebound in house prices and construction activity, stronger household balance sheets, an improvement in the labour market, and strong corporate profitability.
'Slow down, but hurry up'
"The deficit reduction in 2013 has been excessively rapid and ill-designed," the IMF said, in its annual report on the world's biggest economy.
Not only would spending cuts hurt in the short term, but "indiscriminate" reductions in education, science and infrastructure spending could reduce potential growth in the medium term, it said.
"These cuts should be replaced with a back-loaded mix of entitlement savings (related to healthcare and pensions) and new revenues, along the lines of the administration's budget proposal."
"The IMF's advice is to slow down, but hurry up: meaning slow the fiscal adjustment this year - which would help sustain growth and job creation - but hurry up with putting in place a medium-term road map to restore long-run fiscal sustainability," managing director Christine Lagarde said.
The Fund's forecast for growth of 1.9% this year would mark a slowdown from the 2.2% growth the US recorded in 2012.
But it expects a pick-up to 2.7% in 2014.
It expressed support for the Federal Reserve's $85bn-a-month (£54bn) quantitative easing (QE) programme, and said it should continue with the programme until at least the end of 2013.
The Fed uses QE, a policy of buying bonds, to increase the money supply and improve liquidity in the financial system in the hope of sparking economic growth and supporting employment.
There has been recent concern about when the stimulus measures will be withdrawn, sending jitters through the world's financial markets.
"The Fed should continue its preparations for a smooth exit. The highly accommodative monetary policy stance has provided important support to the US and global economic recovery," the IMF said.
However, it warned that unwinding monetary policy accommodation was likely to present challenges and said a long period of low interest rates could have unintended consequences and "sow the seeds of future financial vulnerabilities".

Researchers led by scientists at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) have developed antibodies that can simultaneously bind to two different antigens, targeting multiple regions of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. These bispecific antibodies successfully neutralize the original virus as well as the Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta variants.
Emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern threaten the efficacy of existing vaccines. Additional potent antibody-based therapeutics that target multiple sites of the spike protein are critically needed to neutralize emerging variants in infected patients and guide vaccine design.
“In the face of rapidly emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants that challenge our efforts to end the pandemic, our findings support the further exploration of bispecific antibodies that strategically combine antibody pairs as new tools to treat COVID-19,” the authors noted.
These findings are published this week in the Science Translational Medicine article, “Bispecific antibodies targeting distinct regions of the spike protein potently neutralize SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern.”
At present, COVID-19 antibody treatments inject a cocktail of individual monoclonal antibodies each targeting a specific region on the virus. Most investigators developing SARS-CoV-2-specific monoclonal antibodies have used antigen probe-based methods to isolate memory B cells or a mixture of plasmablasts and memory B cells.
The current study led by NIAID scientists Peter Crompton, MD, and Joshua Tan, PhD, shows combining selected monoclonal antibodies into bispecific antibodies can create stronger antibodies that are more potent than the monoclonal cocktails. One bispecific antibody that the authors generated demonstrates a potency 100 times greater than that of a cocktail of its monoclonal parents in vitro.
Moreover, the current study does not rely on antigen probe-based cell sorting to generate a large panel of monoclonal antibodies from plasmablasts and memory B lymphocytes of patients who have recovered from COVID-19. Instead, they combine potent monoclonal antibodies that bind to non-overlapping regions of the viral spike protein to generate bispecific antibodies.
The team showed two of their bispecific antibodies neutralized the original virus as well as the Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta variants. Three of the most potent bispecific antibodies that they generated target distinct regions of the receptor-binding domain of the spike protein, and all three neutralized the SARS-CoV-2 Alpha and Beta variants.
Their most potent bispecific antibody (CV503) binds to the ridge region of the SARS-CoV-2 receptor-binding domain and competes with the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 receptor, the host protein that binds to the viral spike protein. Analyzing crystal structures, the authors showed that CV503 had minimal contact with the key variant residues: K417, E484, and N501.
To demonstrate potential therapeutic applicability, the authors showed two of their bispecific antibodies protected hamsters from the clinical disease at a dose of 2.5 mg/kg body weight. One bispecific antibody that neutralized the Beta variant in vitro, the authors showed, protected hamsters against SARS-CoV-2 expressing the E484K mutation.
The team developed the bispecific antibodies from a pool of 216 monoclonal antibodies that target SARS-CoV-2. They collected these monoclonal antibodies from plasmablasts and memory B cells of convalescing COVID-19 patients and screened them for potency against the virus. They identified five bispecific antibodies that inhibit the virus at concentrations of less than 1 ng/mL.
Part of the reason why these bispecific antibodies are especially effective against SARS-CoV-2 variants is that they are designed to bind non-overlapping areas of the viral spike and do not encroach on regions of the viral spike protein that are subject to change due to new mutations in emerging variants.
“Bispecific antibodies represent a promising next-generation countermeasure against SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern,” the authors noted.

‘Quite the best debut album that has come this way in a long time’ – The Living Tradition
Isla Ratcliff’s debut album The Castalia (November 2021) is inspired by the 4 months that she spent in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick in 2019. Featuring traditional and self-composed tunes, Isla’s album expresses her love for the tradition, its ethos of community, and the power of music to bring people together. Buy The Castalia here.
In 2019, Isla spent four wonderful months in Cape Breton, an island on the east coast of Canada with a rich traditional music culture. Studying on international exchange at Cape Breton University and immersing herself in the local culture, she fell in love with the music, the people and the place. She particularly fell in love with the sense of community and inclusivity that is integral to Cape Breton traditional music.
Isla also travelled to New Brunswick to meet her 3rd and 4th cousins, Hugh, Judy and Lynn. They are the descendants of her great-great-granny’s brother, who emigrated with his family from Glen Clova to South Tilley, New Brunswick in 1873 on the Castalia.
This album is an expression of what Isla collected during her time in Canada: new repertoire, inspiration for new compositions, deep friendships, a fresh approach to interpreting tunes, realisations about herself as a musician, and an appreciation for kindness and community.
The Castalia is a remote recording project. Isla and cellist Ellen Gira recorded at Castlesound Studios in Scotland, pianist Adam Young recorded at Lakewind Sound Studios in Cape Breton, and stepdancer Annabelle Bugay recorded at Tonal Park in the USA. The album was produced by Marie Fielding, and was mixed and mastered by Marie and Stuart Hamilton at Castlesound Studios. Elly Lucas designed the beautiful artwork.
Isla has created a podcast to accompany the album, ‘The Castalia Podcast’. In each episode, she introduces us to a musician whom she met in Nova Scotia or New Brunswick, some of whom were involved in the making of her album. Guests include Dawn and Margie Beaton, Chrissy Crowley, Kyle MacNeil, Paul Cranford and Mairi Rankin. Listen to the podcast here.
Thank you to Creative Scotland, the Alan Surtees Trust and the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland for their financial support.
- ‘A fine debut album … showcasing her bright, articulate playing’ – The Scotsman, ****
- ‘Quite the best debut album that has come this way in a long time. … Isla’s playing here echoes much of past masters like Jerry Holland and Buddy MacMaster.’ – The Living Tradition
- ‘A refreshingly lively new take on trad’ – At The Barrier
- ‘The Castalia should ensure that Isla Ratcliff is held in equally high regard on this side of the ocean.’ – Folk World
- ‘This recording is a vigorous new interpretation of the sometimes overly worthy school of (largely) solo fiddle recordings.’ – At The Barrier
- ‘Ms Ratcliff has assembled almost an hour of excellent hard core fiddle music, most of it bearing the energetic stamp of Cape Breton Island.’ – Folk World
- ‘The crunchy triplets and driven bow of Cape Breton fiddling are to the fore here, but Ratcliff’s skills extend far beyond that.’ – Folk World
- ‘A beautifully crafted debut’ – Shire Folk

NFL Random Thoughts
by Larry Ness - 01/26/2005
I guess this Belichick guy and his QB (a man named Brady) KNOW what they are doing? Together, they have won EIGHT consecutive playoff games and are poised to win their THIRD Super Bowl in four years on February 6. That's some pretty fair company and I'll look deeper into both men's careers beginning next Monday when I begin a five-part Super Bowl preview.
The Patriots will of course be playing the Eagles in Jacksonville, as Philadelphia avoided a FOURTH consecutive NFC title-game loss by beating Atlanta, 27-10. For those of you looking for a 'sign', consider these two factoids.
The last time (and ONLY previous time!) the Eagles played in a Super Bowl the score was also 27-10, although Philly was on the losing end of that one to the Raiders (is that a good or bad omen?). The last time the Eagles won an NFL title was 1960 when they beat the Packers 17-13. Green Bay's coach was Vince Lombardi and it was the only playoff loss of Lombardi's career. His 9-1 playoff mark was just matched last Sunday by New England's Bill Belichick!
I'll get to New England and Philadelphia next week but here's some final thoughts on the weekend's losers. It's always tough losing these games and I realize a head coach doesn't want to say he or his team is satisfied by just getting this far but Jim More Jr HAS GOT TO BE KIDDING!
He put on his best 'game-face' and told us, "We are not going to accept this as being OK. To lose an NFC Championship Game. That's not our goal. Our goal is to win Super Bowls, not to win divisions".
Here's some PERSPECTIVE! The Falcons finished the year at 11-5 in the pathetically weak NFC. They came VERY CLOSE to becoming the first 11-win team (since the league went to a 16-game season) to NOT outscore their opponents on the year, by scoring 340 points while allowing 337. For the record, 62 teams have won exactly 11 games since 1978 (not a small sample!).
The 2004 season marked Atlanta's EIGHTH playoff appearance (including the 1982 strike season in which eight team teams from each conference got in) and the team's division title was just its THIRD (1980 and 1998 were the others). Considering Atlanta joined the league in 1966 (the year of the first Super Bowl) and has made just TWO NFC title game appearances in 39 years, it's safe to say it was a good year for Atlanta!
In comparison, Atlanta has finished LAST in its division 12 times, including a stretch from 1983 through 1990 in which the Falcons finished last in SEVEN of eight years! So please Jim, spare us all the politically correct line about how only getting to and winning the Super Bowl, MATTERS!
On the other hand, Pittsburgh's Bill Cowher has EVERY RIGHT to be disappointed! Pittsburgh finished the year at 15-1, just the fourth team to accomplish that feat. The Steelers entered Sunday's title game on a 15-game same-season winning streak (only Miami's 1972 team with 17 straight had done better!) and was hosting a team it had beaten 34-20 during the regular season.
Sure the Patriots were the small favorite but this was a game Cowher NEEDED! As good as his career has been, Sunday's loss was his FOURTH in five previous AFC title games and left him 0-5 ATS! Even worse, ALL FIVE have come at home. For a coach that prides himself on his defense, only two playoff home teams in the Super Bowl era have allowed more points to an opponent than the 41 points the Steelers allowed the Patriots on Sunday.
Not much went right for Cowher this postseason. While his defense held the Jets without an offensive TD in the divisional round game a week ago, the Steelers needed not one but TWO missed field goals (by the Jets' Doug Brien) in the game's final two minutes to escape with a 20-17 OT win. Against New England, the Steelers were down 24-3 at the half!
Cowher's rookie-sensation Ben Roethlisberger threw FIVE interceptions over the two games and even the reliable Jerome Bettis had two lost fumbles (one in each game) after going 368 touches without a turnover. Roethlisberger's streak of 14 straight NFL wins came to an end, as did his streak of 27 straight wins, which included 13 straight wins at Miami-Ohio last year.
The only streak that CONTINUED last week for Pittsburgh was Duce Staley's! Staley (signed as a free agent) was a member of the Eagles for their three straight NFC title-game losses the last three years and Sunday's loss makes him a participant in FOUR consecutive conference championship game losses!
Friday I'll check in on the NBA and college hoops! My five-part Super Bowl preview begins Monday.

For those looking to take their songwriting to the next level, look no further than the Rock and Roll Fantasy Camp set to feature songwriting legend Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys and Jeff Beck, one of the best guitarists of all time. The camp, happening April 18th to April 21st, is being held in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Wilson was the brain behind the dozens of hits by the Beach Boys, including songs such as “California Girls” and “Good Vibrations.” Beck is best known for his guitar skills, and has won six Grammy Awards for his rock instrumentals.
But just how much would the experience to “jam out” with these Rock and Roll Hall of Famers set you back, you ask? Right now the “early bird” registration for the four day event is just a cool $6,499 for the “Headliner” package which includes a chance to write and record an original song with the rockers, perform live at the MGM Grand, attend an opening night cocktail party and dinner, receive a DVD of the final show, attend daily master classes and jam session and receive cool rock swag.
Campers can also add an eight hour recording session for an additional $2500. Other add-ons are available. Visit rockcamp.com to purchase tickets before they’re gone.
But the experience is promised to be priceless, of course.
Other upcoming camps include Sammy Hagar from March 5-9 and Def Leppard from April 4-7.

It’s Week 3 of Ebola headlines in Dallas, and everyone’s nerves are pretty well grated to their roots.
News that the virus has struck two health care workers who cared for Thomas Eric Duncan before his death from Ebola, is rattling even the sturdiest among us. After all, the latest exposures happened at a hospital on full alert, where they ought to know what they are doing, right?
The occasional panicky thought — We Must Do Something Dramatic! — is understandable. But take a breath. Let’s keep things in perspective.
What’s most important right now is for all medical facilities to learn how to handle Ebola so that when — not if — the next case emerges, medical staffs will be more ready than Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas was.
We can’t solve the problem by expecting every ailing individual to go to one of the nation’s four primo biocontainment units like those in Atlanta or Omaha. First, they have very limited space. Second, the next time someone, whether in Dallas or Duluth, becomes ill and suspects Ebola, he’ll head straight to the closest ER. Workers there must know how to respond. That’s why every hospital in the country must power up to learn and implement best practices.
Yet the last few days have exposed systemic shortcomings in the way U.S. hospitals are equipped to fight Ebola.
For more than two weeks, Presbyterian and its staff have been forced into learning how to fight a fire as the blaze burned around them. Mistakes have been made; PR efforts have been inept.
But now the hospital can do a world of good by helping the medical community learn from its experiences. This requires complete transparency and truth-telling.
The most crucial test that every hospital must know how to pass involves the first hour or so after an undiagnosed victim of Ebola comes through its doors. We’ve heard conflicting explanations about what happened during Duncan’s initial visit to the Presbyterian ER. We need to know the real story.
It’s also imperative that the hospital release all the details about how Duncan’s case was handled once he returned to the hospital two days later. What protocol for protective gear disposal was in place? Was an infection-control manager on the case, and, if so, what were his or her responsibilities? What work was assigned to the two health care workers who have since contracted the virus?
The answers are critical, because until the epidemic is stopped in the hardest-hit areas of West Africa — 6,000 miles and 4,400-and-growing deaths away — cases like Duncan’s and the exposed health care workers' will continue to crop up worldwide.
For now, getting clear answers from Presbyterian will allow the health care system, hospital by hospital, to build the strongest possible armor against this killer virus.
Smart care precautions
After Ebola was diagnosed in nurse Nina Pham, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced these changes:
- CDC staffers will watch every procedure done for Pham and change protocol immediately when warranted.
- Retraining is underway for hospital staff on how to don and doff protective gear and on other infection-control procedures.
- Staffers will put gear on and off in pairs, watching each other to prevent mistakes.
- Anti-viral-agent spray might be added to protocol for anyone leaving the isolation unit.
- CDC is looking into better protective gear that is less cumbersome yet able to block the virus.
- CDC is increasing training, outreach and education nationally.
- Information about the Pham case will be made widely available as quickly as possible.

Review: Galactic Keep26 Aug 2015 0
Galactic Keep was very nearly iOS gaming's own Duke Nukem Forever, the vaporware yardstick that internet wiseguys trot out to declare that some other game is doing comparatively better -- as in, "at least it came out before Galactic Keep." When Duke Nukem Forever finally slouched over the finish line in 2011, punters wondered where all the effort had gone. No one had expected DNF to be good, exactly, but we expected a spectacle -- fifteen years' worth of it.
By contrast, there is no question at all where Galactic Keep's six years of development were spent. This is a game that is hand-made the way a Fabergé egg is. There is extraordinary detail everywhere, from the character back-stories to the enormous bestiary of enemies right down to every last insignificant corner of the options menu. Though the game is the work of a handful of people, the game's art direction is so cohesive and so out-there-weird that it sometimes feels like a found object from an earlier time, like a pen-and-paper RPG printed in a forgotten zine self-published by a slightly unhinged neighborhood character.
In Galactic Keep, you take control--one character at a time--of the members of a special forces group in a galaxy where humans co-exist with a vast menagerie of beings. A whole colony of humans have vanished and you have to piece together the mystery of where they've vanished to.
One of the telltales of a really fine work of science fiction is how well it convinces you that if you pulled the curtain off the stage, there'd be a vast universe stretching out beyond, with a history and future all its own. Galactic Keep sells this illusion really well, dropping you into a colorful space opera setting that seems like it's been a part of nerd pop culture since the 80s. Part of the trick is that creator Rob Lemon (quite notably) does not share most people's prejudices about bipedalism and bilateral symmetry -- his creature designs include sentient piles of refuse, skull-headed cyborg warriors, and undead samurai who manifest in this world as a noxious sword-wielding vapour. By my reckoning only about 50% of the characters in Galactic Keep have eyes at all, 25% have more than two, and I've definitely seen at least one of them driving a cab in New York.
The originality of the setting and the characters is dazzling. Lemon emphatically rejects the labor-saving concept of generic enemies -- you will encounter a few repeats here and there but there were so many different opponents packed into Galactic Keep's free-roaming levels that I lost count of them all. It's like seeing the Mos Eisley Cantina for the first time, albeit a very Cronenberg-ian one.
The game's story is lean and told entirely through small dialogue and narration pop-ups that show up as you move around the Galactic Keep's several maps. Galactic Keep is wholly committed to the premise that it is a real pen-and-paper RPG, with a friend as the dungeon master. The DM's narration has a pulpy space opera feel, but Lemon is capable of evocative prose and I was genuinely interested to see where the story was taking me.
Devoid of dialogue choices and plot decisions, Galactic Keep is primarily concerned with combat, and this is where the game stumbles a bit. My opinion of the combat swerved wildly as I spent more time with it: initial disappointment, then admiration, ultimately coming to rest somewhere between the two.
In Galactic Keep, you can always see your character and all enemies within areas of the map you've explored, represented as You can unlock more player characters by exploring , which will come in very handy in your hardcore playthrough.[/caption]
While meatier combat would have made my time in Galactic Keep a bit more cerebral, it's one of my favorite game experiences of 2015. A few days ago Kelsey wrote that Galactic Keep is like a time machine to your nerdy childhood, and I couldn't agree more. It might have been in production for six years, but it feels more like twenty-six. It's the very essence of what indie gaming is all about: this is no game made by committee, but one man's utterly original and compelling vision brought to life. I hope we get to see more of it.
