New Leonard Bernstein film will hold special interest for Chichester
Chichester Cinema at New Park founder Roger Gibson, who is also the former artistic director and programmer for the Chichester International Film Festival, saw it in Venice and is looking forward to seeing it again.
Leonard Bernstein had a significant connection to Chichester. He was commissioned by the Cathedral in 1965 to compose Chichester Psalms, and his family visited many times. His son Alexander visited the city five years ago for the big Bernstein in Chichester celebrations marking his centenary.
Roger said: “I saw the film in Venice and I thought it was wonderful. It was only just two hours. Some films are too long but this one felt almost too short for what it was trying to do. West Side Story was just referred to. From the point of view of the music there is some good stuff but you almost feel that it could have been a series rather than just one film but I really liked it. I had seen Bernstein in person. I went to quite a few concerts with Bernstein over the years and I think Bradley Cooper is excellent in the part. He looks incredible.”
There was plenty of controversy over the make-up that he used but Roger is fine with the end result: “I don't have any problem with it at all. And he looks really good. The opening shot of him in his 50s – and then you go back – you just think ‘Oh my God! That's amazing!’ and he's got the gravelly voice that Bernstein had as well.”
Roger suspects that there could be an Oscar in it for Bradley Cooper: “It goes into Bernstein's relationship with his wife and the fact that he was bisexual. It doesn't avoid in any way the warts to him but from what I understand the family agreed to the screenplay.”
Roger was delighted to have been part of the Bernstein in Chichester celebration in 2018 when the cinema showed five films.
“Bradley Cooper puts Bernstein across as a difficult person in many ways, a man who has this conflict between composing and conducting but a man who also has this conflict with his sexuality which his wife knew about and accepted. You sense he was a very difficult man in many ways and a very conflicted man.
“I think that the film will do very well. It is going to be on Netflix but it's also going to be in the cinemas. They're allowing this film to be shown in the cinemas because they've realised that it doesn't do these films any harm at all to show them in cinemas before they go to Netflix.”
In 1979 Roger set up a film society which then became the Chichester Cinema at New Park which then spawned the Chichester International Film Festival in 1992.
Roger stepped down as the film festival artistic director and programmer in the summer, but he remains closely connected with the venue, working on the streamings of opera and ballet, special events and also the French Film Festival selection which has been shown in Chichester in November and December.
“For the French Film Festival I had to select 21 films from about 60 and that has taken up a lot of time between the end of the film festival and now but now I'm a bit more relaxed!”
And delighted too: “I have been given the freedom of Chichester. That's going to be in January.”

Milagros Salazar* - Tierramérica
LIMA, May 2 2010 (IPS) - The Olmos megaproject, which will divert water from the Huancabamba River through a trans-Andean tunnel to a desert area along Peru’s northern coast, is being touted as a catalyst for development, but disputes are heating up over land, crops and water.
In the original plan, there were three phases: diverting the Huancabamba River, which comes from the mountains of the Piura region, through a tunnel under the Andes Mountains; the construction of a hydroelectric complex; and the irrigation of 110,000 hectares in the coastal valley of Olmos. In March 2006, the Brazilian firm Odebrecht won the bid to build the diversion. In its first stage it would move some 400 million cubic metres of water – of the 750 million initially projected.
Odebrecht also was put in charge of the irrigation project, estimated at more than 200 million dollars. But the hydroelectric plans are on hold.
In the opinion of the Olmos Special Project’s management, it is the cure-all for Peru. The nearly 20-kilometre tunnel under the mountains has been highlighted recently on U.S. television’s Discovery Channel. According to its reports, some 2.5 million cubic metres of water will reach the country’s poorest farmers if the expansion of the initial plan is carried out.
What is certain is that the 38,000 hectares to be irrigated in the first phase do not belong to small or even medium farms.
“But the peasant farmers are waiting expectantly anyway, because they think that they will be able to irrigate their land. That is going to generate conflict,” Luis Carbajal, secretary of the non-governmental Defence Committee of Lambayeque Megaprojects, told Tierramérica.
Olmos general manager Enrique Salazar confirmed that the lots would be sold to “entrepreneurs who are economically solvent and can confront a demanding agro-export market.”
“This is not designed for small properties. The idea is to generate permanent units of production so that the farmers have employment, elevate their standard of living, and move out of the forgotten peasant class,” he told Tierramérica.
In addition, he said, 5,500 hectares of land belonging to farmers in the old valley of Olmos will be irrigated, who would pay Odebrecht for it.
According to the Defence Committee’s Carbajal, such an approach will lead to a land invasion. And it is likely that the small farmers will begin to cut down native forests of carob, zapote, huarango and hualtaco, to replace them with exportable le crops, such as asparagus or artichokes.
Juan Sandoval, natural resources manager for the regional government of Lambayeque, said efforts are under way to set aside two conservation areas in order to reduce harm to flora and fauna. But he acknowledged it is insufficient and that the 38,000 hectares include “virgin lands with forests, both thin and dense.”
Carbajal noted that the project had included a hydroelectric component to make use of the waterfall. But because that phase was suspended, 80 million cubic metres of water of the 400 million needed for the entire area will go to waste, he said.
The Lambayeque Defence Committee filed a complaint against the regional government with the Comptroller General’s office for allegedly short-valuing the project. Rejected there, the complaint went to the Attorney General’s Office, where it is still being reviewed.
The controversy even extended to the Cabinet of President Alan García. Economy Minister Mercedes Aráoz argued about the Odebrecht budget for irrigation with Prime Minister Javier Velásquez Quesquén, who thought it should be improved.
Former economy minister Cecilia Blume explained to Tierramérica that the government provided 70 million dollars to Lambayeque for the diversion project, and served as guarantor for the remaining 330 million dollars needed for the investment. That sum should be generated by the sale of government-owned lands in Olmos.
However, the value of the land, according to Blume, depends on the irrigation. If they can only count on having water half the day, as Odebrecht proposed, the land prices will fall, and with it, the funds to pay for the diversion.
As the result of an Apr. 13 meeting between the government and Odebrecht, according to an announcement by Aráoz, the company improved its proposal.
“Before, even with all the revenues, the irrigation project was only going to provide 74 million dollars to the people in 200 years. Today we can say there will be 98 million in 40 years, which means the payment of 35 percent of the diversion in that period,” she told the local media.
The payment for the lands, said Aráoz, will be immediate, and the time period to complete the sale of the 38,000 hectares is 20 months.

In its Abbas decision, the DC Circuit held that, because it believed the standard contemplated by the DC anti-SLAPP statute conflicted with the standards required under Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 12 and 56, the statute could not apply in a federal court diversity case. Although the DC Court of Appeals in Mann then stated that “the standard to be employed by the court in deciding whether to grant the motion” “is substantively the same” as that under the Federal Rules, two DC federal district judges have nevertheless held the DC anti-SLAPP statute still cannot apply in a federal court diversity case (discussed here and here).
A reader recently brought another opinion to my attention: issued in January in Democracy Partners v. Project Veritas Action Fund. There, Democracy Partners sued various defendants for allegedly infiltrating its offices through misrepresentations, stealing confidential documents, and secretly recording hours of conversations.
In January, Judge Huvelle denied defendants’ motion to dismiss the complaint. The court’s opinion also denied a companion anti-SLAPP special motion to dismiss filed by the same defendants. While that, by itself, is not particularly notable (because, as the opinion notes, Judge Huvelle had already held that Abbas foreclosed applying the anti-SLAPP statute in a federal court diversity case, even after Mann), the opinion is noteworthy because jurisdiction in the Democracy Partners case was based on federal question, and not diversity of citizenship. As the court’s opinion explained, “[d]efendants contend that this distinction is significant, asserting that the Abbas decision is ‘not controlling where the court’s jurisdiction [over a state law claim] is based on the presence of a valid federal question.’”
The Democracy Partners opinion finds this distinction to be without a difference. The court explained that, in its Abbas decision, the DC Circuit applied the Supreme Court’s Shady Grove opinion, which has not been limited to diversity jurisdiction cases. Thus, the court concludes that Shady Grove and, by extension, Abbas, apply to a case based on federal question jurisdiction in the same way they apply to a case based on diversity jurisdiction.
The Democracy Partners opinion explains that “any other conclusion would create an irrational distinction in the treatment of identical state law claims.” Of course, one could argue that, by refusing to apply the DC anti-SLAPP statute in federal court, although it applies to the same claims in Superior Court, the DC Circuit has “create[d] an irrational distinction in the treatment of identical state law claims”! Anyway, the DC federal district court, for the first time I believe, holds the DC anti-SLAPP statute does not apply to those DC claims brought in a federal court case grounded in federal question jurisdiction.

What’s On Your Louisiana Ballot: 2020 Amendment 6
Election day is less than a week away, on Tuesday November 3rd.
Since we're so close, we thought it would be a great chance to further explore some of what you'll see on this year's ballot. We can't break down every ballot for every precinct in the state, but if you're looking for your exact ballot, you can find it here. There are 7 proposed Constitutional Amendments in Louisiana this year. You'll also find a measure on Sports Wagering as well.
Amendment 6, is about changing the income level for seniors, certain military, and disabled persons for the Homestead Tax Exemption. Here's the text you'll see on your ballot:
Do you support an amendment to increase the maximum amount of income a person may receive and still qualify for the special assessment level for residential property receiving the homestead exemption? (Amends Article VII, Section 18(G)(1)(a)(ii))
So what does that mean? If passed, this is the explanation from the Secretary of State:
Present Constitution provides a special assessment level of residential property receiving the homestead exemption which is owned and occupied by the following person or persons who remain qualified for the special assessment level:
1) people who are 65 years of age or older;
2) people who have a service-connected disability rating of 50% or more by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs;
3) members of the armed forces of the United States or the Louisiana National Guard who owned and last occupied such property who are killed in action, or who are missing in action or are a prisoner of war for a period exceeding 90 days; or
4) any person or persons permanently totally disabled as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court or as certified by a state or federal administrative agency charged with the responsibility for making determinations regarding disability.
Present Constitution provides that a person shall be prohibited from receiving the special assessment if the person’s adjusted gross income as reported in the federal tax return for the year prior to the application for special assessment exceeds $50,000. Provides that the adjusted gross income shall be determined by combining the adjusted gross income on both federal tax returns for persons applying for the special assessment whose filing status is married filing separately. Further provides that for each tax year beginning in 2001 and thereafter, the $50,000 limit shall be adjusted annually by the Consumer Price Index.
Proposed Constitutional Amendment changes the income threshold from $50,000 with annual adjustments by the Consumer Price Index to qualify for the special assessment to $100,000 with annual adjustments by the Consumer Price Index beginning in tax year 2026.
So what does all of that mean for you?
A vote YES on this Amendment would be in favor of raising the Homestead Tax Exemption income threshold to $100,000 per year, up from $50,000, for those designated in a "special assessment". Those eligible would be seniors, certain military, and disabled persons. The change wouldn't take place until 2026.
A vote NO on this Amendment means no change to the current constitution.

Paris, The "City of Light" is a destination in itself and it is on every traveler's list. As one of the cultural centers in Europe and one of the most romantic cities in the world, the things to see and do are almost endless but without a proper planning, they can become easily overwhelming. However, it doesn't have to be this way. A few minor twists can completely transform your Parisian experience.
Learn a few basic French words
You may know, that France is one of the European countries where Engish is not widely spoken. If you are not prepared, the language barrier can easily create unpredicted and challenging situations. That being said, there are ways to go around this. Patience and learning a few basic French words like "Bonjour", "merci", "S"il-vous-plait"is a good start!
Choose a centrally located hotel
Paris is one of the most pedestrian-friendly cities in the world. Comprised of 20 arrondissements (neighborhoods), there are a variety of accommodations that can satisfy many travel tastes. If you are a first-time visitor, choosing a hotel that is either a walking distance to major must-see sights( Eifel Tower, Norte Dame, Louvre Museum etc) or near a train station can save you a lot of time and frustration. For our recent stay, my husband and I choose the boutique Louison Hotel located in Saint- Germain-des-Pres neighborhood. Also known as "Luxembourg", this arrondissement is home to the Luxembourg Museum and Gardens. This being our first time in Paris, we loved the location: steps away from multiple metra/train stations (including Gare Montparnasse for a short train ride to Chateau De Versailles), shopping, and a wide choice of restaurants and historical cafes including Le Procope, the oldest cafe in Paris. There was a nice mix of residential buildings and small hotels that didn't feel touristy.
Reserve your museum tickets ahead of time
Paris is home to one of the most visited museums in the world and if you don't reserve your tickets in advance you risk waiting on hours-long lines.
Travel Tip: Choose a ticket with a time entry/skip the line option. For some museums, you may have to do that a weeks in advance.
Travel Tip: If you are planning to purchase The Paris Pass, consider for how many days you are in Paris and how many museums you like to see per day (once activated, the Paris Pass have to be used in consecutive days and might not make a financial sense)
Give yourself an extra time to get to your point of interest
Paris metro is one of the oldest and one of the best systems in the world, but the complex metro system can be a challenge even for the most experienced traveler. Expect to take a couple of days to master the train system and to get lost a few times before getting used to it.
Travel Tip: If you can, just walk! You will get exercise and you will discover hidden neighborhood gems on your way.
Get an early morning start
Why would you get up early on your vacation? There are many reasons to do so, but the primary being is to avoid the crowds! Unless you book a "behind the closed doors/after hours entry" private experiences you will still wait on lines, but they will be considerably shorter compared to mid-day museum visits, also you will get better picture opportunities.
Are you ready to start planning your Parisian Escape?
My husband and I woke up this morning to see thru our porthole window cloudy skies. Today, our Windstar Yacht was scheduled to arrive at Porto Vecchio, Corsica France, a lush island paradise, known as the birth place of Napoleon Bonaparte.
Among European Tourists Porto Vecchio is known as "St Tropez" of Corsica, a fashionable resort town dotted with art galleries, boutique shopping, gourmet dining and night life
A complimentary shuttle arranged by the cruise line took us to the Old Town, which was about 10 minutes uphill ride from the modern marina. We started wondering thru narrow cobblestone streets (the town is best explored by foot), and found the Place de Republique ( the main square), visit the imposing St Jean-Baptiste Church dating back to the 19th Century and made our way to the Genoise Gate which offered panoramic views of the Harbor, sea and surrounding mountains.
Our last stop was the Tourist Bureau, where we arranged a Taxi to take us to Bonifacio- a must -see popular medieval town located in the southern tip of the island. The total taxi cost one way was 60 Euro, on the way back a different taxi driver asked for 84 euro.
Travel Tip: If you plan to visit Bonifacio independently, try to arrange a round trip taxi as soon as you get off the ship! Ask the cruise director to help or the port person. We couldn't find any taxi stands in Porto Vecchio and trying to arrange it on your own can be a challenge if you don't speak French language (the official language in Corsica) We had to wait 45 min at the Tourist Bureau before our taxi arrived.
Leaving Porto Vecchio on our way to Bonifacio, the real Corsica start unfolding- a mountainous lush, green island with a rolling hills and happy grazing cows. For some reason reminded me of Maui, Hawaii....
Passing thru Porte de Genes (the only way to enter Bonifacio) , our taxi driver dropped up off in the Citadel since it is a steep uphill climb to the Citadel and the Old Town from the Marina. A little tourist train also runs in the summer from the Marina (5 Euro)It didn't take us long to realize that the taxi left us at a vintage point overlooking the Marina and it's jet-set yachts- a perfect picture opportunity!
Travel Tip: Ask your taxi driver to drop you off in the Citadel
We started making our way to the top of the town to the entry of King Aragon Steps. After paying admission 2.5 Euro we start descending. Legend has it that this 187 steps carved into the limestone cliff face were built by the Aragonese in a single night in their failed attempt to gain the town in 1420.
Travel Tip: Climbing the steps require to be physically active- the steps were uneven and at places, slippery. However this was memorable experience and the views of the gleaming Mediterranean Sea and the cliffs were stunning!
Bonifacio's Old Town, with a labyrinth of narrow streets and historical buildings was built by Genoese and its great place to wonder around. After exploring King Aragon's Steps, we stopped by chic boutiques and passed trendy restaurants. In addition to the Old Town, the Harbor also offers a wide choice of restaurants and shopping.
Mid afternoon was time to go back to Porto Vecchio and board our Windstar Yacht because the next port of call was waiting!
Are you ready to plan your small ship voyage?

There have been lots of emphases lately on living a healthier lifestyle, and many have been trying to make changes to their diets and activities. If you would like to cash in on this revolution at your restaurant or café, you may well want to consider some changes – or additions – to your menu as well. Since more consumers choose healthier options and watch what they eat or consume, your restaurant or café could present them with more than a few choices. And you don't have to go 'all out' yet because you can start with some small additional items that could indeed make you an excellent profit. We're talking about smoothies, of course.
For many customers, smoothies are yummy and delicious, and they’re a guilt-free beverage that’s packed with vitamins and minerals. For your business, smoothies are easy to incorporate into a menu because they aren’t that difficult to make (it doesn't take a master chef to learn how to make a smoothie). You have access to great organic fruit puree suppliers like EE & Brian Smith that can already offer you a vast selection of fruits and vegetables in puree form.
Your choice in smoothies
Here's your best list of smoothie recipes you can use for your café or restaurant.
Recipe #1: Mango and passion fruit smoothie
Passion fruits and mangos are as exotic and tropical as fruits come, and if you would like to offer your customers something unique, tangy, and delicious, you can't go wrong with this combination. The recipe calls for a mix of coconut water and passion fruit juice combined with mango juice and yoghurt, and the recipe is similar to that Indian favourite, the mango lassi. However, what makes it different is that it offers an additional tanginess to offset the mango's sweetness. If you want to make it even better, add some mint and sprinkle a few bits on the top.
Recipe #2: Beetroot and cacao smoothie
Another smoothie recipe that’s sure to be a favourite is a beetroot and cacao smoothie, and it's chock-full of goodness indeed. Beetroot is popular with health food aficionados because of its layer of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, and you can come up with your very own nourishing and nutritious smoothie when you combine beetroot with cacao nibs. Cacao itself is known for its high level of antioxidants, and you can simply combine the two in a mixer. If you regularly use beets in your café or resto, you can use those leftovers for your smoothie recipe as well.
Recipe #3: Blueberry smoothie
Blueberry has already become a regular favourite for smoothie recipes, and all you need are yoghurt, honey, milk (you can do it with almond milk, too) and ice. Combine the ingredients in a mixer and puree the ingredients until there is a smooth consistency.
Recipe #4: Tamarind and mango smoothie
If you want something that’s slightly out of the box yet still tastes great, why not offer a tamarind and mango smoothie? It's a creamy smoothie recipe with a bit of tartness thanks to the tamarind paste, and you can sweeten it up with some agave nectar and coconut milk.

The front Giovanni Simeone and the steering wheel Roberto “Tucu” Pereyra will be the new reserve players of selected argentinian for him Qatar World Cupafter the changes that occurred on Wednesday in the World Cup roster due to the injuries of the forwards Nicholas Gonzalez Y Joaquin Correa. Simeone and Pereyra will occupy the places of Angel Correa Y Thiago Almadawho entered instead of the two injured, and will join the defender Facundo Medina (Lens, from France) and the goalkeeper Juan Musso (Atalanta, from Italy).
Gio Simeone, Napoli forward, the leader of the Italian Serie A, and son of Diego “Cholo” Simeone (Atlético de Madrid coach), sounded on Wednesday as a firm candidate to replace Joaquín Correa, but the technical director of the national team , lionel scaloni, ended by quoting Almada. Pereyra, for his part, plays for Udinese, also in Italy, and had several calls to the national team during the management of the coach from Pujato.
In this way, the four reserve places provided by the Argentine Football Association are occupied by one footballer from each line: an archer (Musso), a defender (Medina), a midfielder (Pereira) and an attacker (Simeone).
It should be remembered that up to one day before their first commitment in Qatar, each national federation can submit changes to the 26-player list. As Argentina will play the World Cup from this Tuesday (at 7 in Buenos Aires, against Saudi Arabia), until this Monday Scaloni will be able to make changes, which AFA will have to make official before FIFA.

Friday, March 24, 2023
BERKELEY, California, Dec 21 2009 (IPS) - As countries failed to reach a substantive climate change pact at Copenhagen last week, action at the subnational level has emerged as one of the likeliest paths toward significant climate action.
The U.S. state of California – always a trend-setter and the largest regional economy of the largest national economy – may have some templates for action that circumvents both Copenhagen and Washington.
When Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger showed up in Denmark on Tuesday, then, it was not merely as another regional representative but as one of the figures who may be shaping a low- or post-greenhouse gas economy.
“While national governments have been fighting over emission targets, subnational governments like California have been adopting their own targets, laws and policies,” he told the conference.
California’s efforts to reduce the carbon footprint of its 1.8-trillion-dollar economy have placed it in the vanguard of emissions reduction and renewable energy development in recent years. In 2006, after the Kyoto Protocol had been ignored for a decade by Washington, Sacramento decided to take unilateral action by enacting the Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006, which capped the state’s greenhouse gas emissions.
California emits 1.4 percent of the world’s greenhouse gases, roughly the same as France. But the state’s emissions cap aims to bring those emissions down to 1990 levels by 2020, and to 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2050.
“According to the U.N. itself, 80 percent of the necessary greenhouse gas reductions will happen at the subnational level. So why should we focus all our faith and hope in international action?” Schwarzenegger said in his weekly radio address Friday.
Toward a renewable future
Perhaps the most impressive path California has blazed, though, is its renewable portfolio standard, by which a portion of the state’s electricity must be from renewable sources. It aims for 20 percent renewables by 2010 and 33 percent by 2020. The EU, by comparison, has an RPS target of 20 percent by 2020.
“California has been a leader for many years now in renewable energy,” says Peter Miller, a senior scientist with the Natural Resources Defense Council, who is based in San Francisco. The state has a role to play, he says, “in setting a role model for the rest of the country and the world”.
In order to ensure a continued supply of power for the state’s nearly 38 million residents, projects for increasing renewable energy capacity are being proposed or approved on almost a weekly basis here.
On Thursday, a transmission line connecting a mountainous region said to be the state’s largest wind resource to Los Angeles and other Southern California cities was approved by the California Public Utilities Commission.
“This project will help bring renewable energy to the grid that would otherwise remain unavailable,” said CPUC president Michael R. Peevey.
The day before, the CPUC approved four renewable energy contracts in which utility companies would obtain access to renewable sources. In one contract, Southern California Edison will source wind power from a project being developed in southern Oregon. In another, PG&E will acquire energy from a new solar project in the state’s desert southeast.
In perhaps California’s most innovative renewable plan, a start-up company, Solaren, will beam solar power collected by satellites to a receiver station in the state’s Central Valley using radio frequencies. A space-based solar panel would be able to generate energy around the clock. PG&E’s plan to purchase this power, once the satellites are successfully deployed, was approved early this month and operations are expected to begin in 2016.
The state will not meet the 20 percent by 2010 goal, but the policy provides a three-year window for meeting this target, and staying within this window will still place California far ahead of most regions.
“It’s worth noting that the initial target was [20 percent by] 2017 and we’ve moved it up,” explains Miller. He says 20 percent will probably be reached by 2012 and that “utilities have made Herculean efforts to meet these targets”.
He also points out that the targets are even more ambitious since California has “a fairly stringent definition” of what renewable means. Large hydropower and nuclear, for instance, do not count; otherwise, Miller says, the state would already be past 20 percent. Still, he thinks the targets can be met – and at minimal cost.
A large part of the progress that California has made in renewables so far can be attributed to subsidies from Sacramento. Rebate programmes have encouraged installing renewable systems in existing and new homes since 2006.
And, in 2008, California established a feed-in tariff programme that allows small-scale generators of renewable power, such as those with solar panels on the roof of their home, to sell any excess power to the utilities at a predetermined rate. This power would then count toward the quota of renewable power that the RPS goals require the utilities to meet.
Ruben Veek, a veteran of residential solar projects in Northern California and founder of the solar installation nonprofit SunWork, credits these financial incentives for spreading solar adaptation in the state.
“Without the subsidies, solar would never have gotten off the ground in its current form…Without the legislation solar would have been only for people who are off the utilities’ grid,” he says.
The largest photovoltaic solar facility in the state began commercial operation Monday. The plant’s operators say the solar power it produces will avoid about 12,000 metric tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions annually, which, they say, is the equivalent of taking more than 2,200 cars off the road.
Subnational actions across borders
Plans for how to reach California’s emission reduction targets are expected to be laid out next year, but, as Washington dithers, other subnational emissions caps have been established and proposed.
In the northeastern U.S., for instance, the 10 states involved in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative sell emission allowances to targeted greenhouse gas emitters, who must participate if they want to continue to operate in the region.
The initiative aims to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from the region’s power sector 10 percent by 2018. Two similar programmes are being considered elsewhere in the country, such as the Western Climate Initiative, which includes California.
Veek says the U.S. “may look at those [regional cap-and-trade projects] as models for national legislation”, which, he says, “is probably an eventuality”.
California has also formed partnerships with regional governments in other countries, including Canada, Indonesia, Brazil, Israel, Britain and China.
Of course, California has not been immune from the political polarisation and reaction to the economic recession that has swept the country. Leading Republican gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman has said she would immediately suspend compliance with the law capping the state’s emissions if elected, for instance.
But Miller still thinks “there’s broad support for efforts that simultaneously address climate change and build the economy”.
Next 10, a nonprofit focused on improving California’s future, released a report last week saying that, despite the economic downturn, green jobs have grown by five percent since 2007.
The number of green businesses has increased by 45 percent and the number of people employed in those sectors has grown by 36 percent since 1995, the group said, compared to a 13-percent overall growth rate during that time.
Schwarzenegger is well aware of these benefits. “Of course, going green is about more than protecting the environment. It’s also about seizing an incredible economic opportunity,” he said Friday.

By Isabella MacLeod
Miranda’s life is thrown into turmoil after being diagnosed with Morgollen’s Syndrome—a rare disease where the body starts producing strange objects from the skin. With it, her life changes quickly, along with her marriage and career.
I’ve written about this book in a different fashion, throwing out my ‘prose-character-structure’ template. As you read, I hope you will see why. It is impossible to cut this book apart so easily. I am still greatly bothered by it.
The writing in this book is spectacular! It’s first person, which can be hard. To pull something like that off, you need an original voice, and with the character of Miranda, the author does that. On top of this, she sounds one hundred percent authentic, like someone we’ve met or seen a thousand times before—completely relateable.
That being said, there are some minor errors with the text—missing quotation marks, misspelled words, and such—but all are infrequent and negligible. The story is so gripping that it is easy to overlooking an occasional mistake.
Now we start getting to the hard part.
The author decides to dedicate the first chapter to the disease, and this could be jarring for some readers. I’ve read about such things before—infestations—and it is noted that there is a natural, almost guttural reaction programmed into our brains when encountering such things. We desire to protect our bodies from being infested by parasites and in turn find it revolting, especially pictures. In this way, the first chapter can be jarring, though, luckily there are no pictures. And if this were just a story about that, the book would be okay. But there’s more.
This particular disease, because of its strange symptoms, has not been fully accepted by the medical community at large. Some believe it is a psychological disorder where the patients make up these conditions in a manner tantamount to Munchausen’s. But let me be clear: that is not so. It is a real problem, and it is clear that the author wishes for others to recognize it, which is laudable. But again, if this were the sole drive for this story, that would be great. But there’s still more.
On top of all I’ve already said, it is a story of a woman who is dealing with a failing marriage. She avows to us near the end of the first chapter that she has met a man other than her husband, and as the story proceeds, we see how this family of two children slowly falls apart. The husband and his side of the family believe, like most doctors, that Miranda’s problems are mental and she struggles to prove herself sane. With her disease, we the reader immediately sympathize with her. No one should have to suffer with such bad health, but what makes this book awesome is not that this is just a story about her disease, it’s also about this destroyed relationship.
As much as her husband doesn’t support her with her disease, the marriage was falling apart before she got it. And as it crumbles, you can see how fully dysfunctional both Miranda and her husband are. They both love pointing fingers at the other, saying it’s not me, it’s you, and they work so hard to find validation from friends and family for their side of the story that nothing ever gets solved. And that’s where it’s wonderful—Miranda is just as bad as the husband! But, as we are seeing it from her point of view, we see she fully believes her side of the story, seeing no fault in her actions, but lays it all solely on her husband, which, with the subtle gossip of her being crazy, strengthens the fact that she is such an unreliable narrator.
Added to this, the book is called ‘Metamorphsis.’ This implies change, and yet the only true change in the story is the nose job the narrator notes from time to time as the cause for her sudden increased attention by the males around her. Otherwise, Miranda actually undergoes no change whatsoever. Her character is untarnished, acting always as the ever-so-self-involved, selfish person that she is. It really raises many questions and makes you think if there is more to a person than that thin, flimsy personality we see floating on top.
I usually judge a book by how much it makes me react, by how much it makes me think. This book does that not only with the unreliable narrator and the many torrid affairs she has, but also because her name is Miranda MacLeod. This by itself is not stimulating until you notice that author’s name is Isabella MacLeod. Then combine this with the fact that the main character’s daughter’s name is Isabella, and things get a little complicated. To make matters worse, the web shows very little about the author or the book altogether, leaving a very thick mysterious feel to the whole thing.
So then, why only four and a half stars? I struggled with this greatly. Midway through, I was already set on a five star review…and then the ending came. Sadly, there really is no ending. And after searching the web and corresponding with the author a little bit, there appears to be a sequel in the works. For this reason, I lowered the score. The ending is so abrupt and so unsatisfying that I can’t justify giving it a full five stars. However, this book has had a strong impact on me, and I cannot shake it from my head with ease. And in my thinking, that’s what writing should be like.

Sadly, there is really little else I could find on the web.

Everything you need for signal source analysis in one instrument
Testing the performance of next-generation signal sources such as voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs), surface acoustic wave (SAW) oscillators, dielectric resonator oscillator (DROs), PLL synthesizers, RFICs, transmitters, clock generators in high-speed data communication systems, and other devices can be challenging - especially with a bench full of instruments. Valuable time is spent learning to use multiple tools, determining the best tool to use, calibrating each instrument, setting up measurements, and then getting the right parameters. Capability restrictions in a number of the older instruments also make it difficult and time consuming to obtain right parameters to get accurate measurements.
With Keysight Technologies’ new Signal Source Analyzer (SSA), engineers no longer need a bench full of tools. All they need is one comprehensive test solution to perform next-generation signal source analysis.
The Keysight E5052B Signal Source Analyzer:
Keysight’s Signal Source Analyzer delivers unparalleled performance and versatility for a variety of signal sources in a wide range of industries such as wireless communications, aerospace & defense, satellite communications, automotive, education, and more.
One instrument does it all…
Keysight’s Signal Source Analyzer provides an indispensable set of measurements in one comprehensive tool:
Industry-leading performance in one easy-to-use instrument
Keysight’s Signal Source Analyzer is the ultimate tool for signal source analysis. Using the latest innovative technology, it is specifically designed to provide you with all the critical measurements and performance you need in a single instrument.
This all-in-one solution is optimized for efficient measurements, high reliability, and offers easy-to-use features to minimize training and increase productivity.
The SSA provides the right combination of performance and flexibility to meet your signal source test needs now and well into the future.
Easy one-step phase noise measurement
The Signal Source Analyzer provides a true one-step phase noise measurement. This eliminates time-consuming measurement set ups and system calibration. Built-in low-noise reference sources, lock the system to the carrier of the measured signal, automatically enabling and dramatically improving measurement speed. Tedious phase noise measurements are now more than 10 times faster.
Real-time phase noise measurement
The measurement speed is exceptionally fast. With a frequency offset range between 1 kHz to 100 MHz, measurements only take 0.45 seconds per measurement. Real-time phase noise measurements not only dramatically improve test time, they also quickly help identify the root cause of undesired behavior of a source-under-test.
Exceptional phase noise sensitivity
Cross-correlation technique provides exceptional phase noise sensitivity
Dual channel receivers enable a “cross-correlation” technique to lower the instrument’s noise floor at all offset frequencies. Traditionally the phase noise of reference source used in the system limits the measurement sensitivity. However, this technique essentially cancels noises of built-in reference sources and overcomes the limitation. The amount of noise cancellation depends on the “number” of correlations. For example, 100 times correlation reduces 10 dB of phase noise floor. Correlations of up to 10,000-times produces a 20 dB phase noise sensitivity improvement.
Trace integration and jitter conversion offers quick and accurate jitter analysis
Integrated phase noise between two points specified by the band marker function can be automatically calculated. Both rms jitter and residual FM are also displayed. This function allows you to evaluate the noise contribution in the communication channels or the random jitter of clock sources quickly and accurately. When compared to oscilloscopes, the SSA provides better sensitivity of random jitter measurements (as low as femto second). Optional E5001A Precision Clock Jitter Analysis Software offers more usability on jitter evaluation such as RJ/PJ separation, jitter trend and histogram.
Outstanding low-noise DC sources provide accuracy and flexibility
The Signal Source Analyzer provides and controls the DC power supply as well as the DC control (tuning) voltage source. These DC sources are floated from the ground and isolated from external noise to ensure accuracy and repeatability.
In particular, the DC control voltage source supplies an ultra-low-noise DC signal (1nV/√Hz at 10 kHz offset) to measure free-running voltage controlled oscillators. This enables you to make measures without a low pass filter. This is superior to the conventional methods because it reduces noise on the control signal (controlling voltage quickly), while improving flexibility and total test throughput.
A complete set of transient measurements
The Signal Source Analyzer provides dual channel measurements to fully characterize switching signal sources. In the wideband mode, the entire behavior of frequency jumps can be observed. In the narrowband mode, you can analyze detailed information of frequency, phase, and power over time. All of these measurements can be done simultaneously and displayed as multiple traces. This enables designers to evaluate the dynamic response of synthesizers, LO circuits, and transmitters quickly.
Better sampling rate, better frequency resolution
One of today’s measurement challenges is testing fast frequency switching sources. These sources lock up within sub-micro seconds and are used in high-speed wireless data communication and aerospace/defense radars. To meet this requirement, the Signal Source Analyzer offers an 8 nsec sampling rate. This provides enhanced sampling resolution and better frequency resolution to meet the requirements of future high-speed switching source characterization (7 kHz of frequency resolution at 8 nsec sampling rate, and 0.2 Hz of frequency resolution at 8 usec sampling rate).
Hardware trigger, video, and pre-trigger capabilities
The hardware trigger input port is provided with the analyzer to synchronize the source-under-test to change with the measurement trigger. Pre-trigger capability is available to observe phenomena before and after events. The enhanced video trigger capability is also useful to quickly check the behavior of frequency jumps at your bench.

I never quite accumulated enough monitored hours to get my license, so I worked under the guidance of a certified supervisor at the websites where I supplied therapy. In different settings, I provided individual and group therapy, crisis evaluation, intervention and medical diagnosis.
I have actually likewise discovered about what works in treatment and what doesn’t from the perspective of a client. I had my first formal experience as a therapy customer from 2015 to 2016, when a Jungian therapist helped me get through a duration of significant profession and basic life shift.
I understand from having been on both sides of the therapy room that the subtleties of interacting in the moment are what make therapy work. A great therapist doesn’t just note down what you tell them however likewise focuses on how you tell them. Facial expressions, body language, and tone of voice can reveal where you’re feeling stress or don’t completely think your own story. With time, as you build trust with your therapist, you share more with them, entering into much deeper and deeper realms of catharsis.
Therapists are more than simply professional problem-solvers. They’re investigators, too, utilizing the ideas you give them to get beyond your cover story and to the deeper facts you require to find to grow as a person and improve your life.
You grew up at the exact same time as the internet and the tech market if you’re an older millennial like me. When the web had not yet been taken over by corporations, you keep in mind the Wild West days. You keep in mind having the ability to log on without having to browse a hidden temple’s worth of challenging advertisement traps and pop-ups.
The expression “dot-com bubble” sits somewhere in your brain beside mental images of Expense Clinton, Tupac, and Beavis and Butt-Head. You remember the sound instantly if someone mentions a 56k modem. You keep in mind when Google went far for themselves with the basic motto, “Do not be evil,” and what it resembled prior to they failed to live up to that motto.
If BetterHelp was going to alter my mind, they required to show me that they might remain true to what makes treatment work.
As you think about subscribing to’s service, you need to understand how its quality of treatment compares to standard in-person therapy as well as the services of its online rivals. Who are the therapists, and how qualified are they? Do the therapeutic methods provide themselves well to a teletherapy format?
In testing and in discussions with other clients, it became clear to us that the quality of treatment is very high. For lots of people, the company will be able to provide you with a larger and more varied set of therapist choices than you could reasonably access nearby in a conventional, in-person setting. When it concerns credentials, licensing, and experience, we discover that sets a good, aggressive bar for its therapists to fulfill. Most of these therapists rely on methods that have shown effective in scientific studies.
Excellent, mindful service and a healthy dedication to client personal privacy are two steps of a company’s regard for its customers. So how does accumulate? Does it supply devoted client service professionals who use timely and effective help when problems arise? How well does the business secure your data and honor your desire for privacy? What measures does require to secure your delicate details?
In a nutshell, is devoted to personal privacy, security, and quality– and it reveals. The customer care group responds quickly to concerns you raise– promising to reply within 24 hr however, in our experience, responding in far less time than that– and responses your questions with the appropriate level of personalized care. And the business guarantees that its therapists follow HIPAA regulations and safeguard your confidentiality. You can further protect your privacy utilizing a label with your therapist.

The sign-up process for is really quite long: it took me about 20 to 30 minutes to complete, so make certain you reserve time to complete it since if you stop mid-sign-up and leave your web browser, it will not save your answers and you’ll have to start all over once again.
From there, you’ll be asked a series of concerns in an intake questionnaire about your gender identity, age, sexual orientation, and relationship status. In detailing your sexual orientation, you are offered the options of directly, gay, lesbian, bi/pan, “Prefer not to say”, “Questioning”, queer, nonsexual, “I do not understand”, and “Other”.
Remarkably enough, users will find below this concern in the kind a highlighted reality: “Therapists on the platform have varied backgrounds. You’ll have the ability to request a Christian therapist if required”. During the consumption questionnaire, if you answer that your religion is Christian, you will be asked “Would you like to be matched with a Christian-based therapist?”
If you answer that you identify with a different religion, you won’t get asked if you desire to match with a therapist of that faith. I tried answering this question 3 times, each time saying I was from a various religion, and never ever got that exact same follow-up.
After the questions about your identity and religious association, you will be asked to finish concerns about your mental health history, such as whether you have ever remained in therapy before and what led you to therapy today. Alternatives for what led you to treatment include “I have actually been feeling depressed”, “My mood is disrupting my job/school efficiency”, “I am mourning”, and 10 other options. You will be asked what your expectations are from your therapist, such as a therapist who listens, explores your past, teaches your brand-new skills, assigns you homework, and more.
The platform will ask you to rate your current physical health and consuming habits from good, fair, and poor.
It will ask you if you are experiencing overwhelming sadness or depression. Following this, there will be a few questions from the Client Health Survey, or the PHQ-9, an evaluation utilized to evaluate for depression.
If you are presently utilized as well as how typically you consume alcohol, you will be asked. When the last time you thought about suicide was– if ever, other screening questions towards the end consist of if you have any problems with intimacy and.
In addition to anxiety, it asks you if you are experiencing anxiety or anxiety attack, or persistent discomfort. Other demographic questions include how you would rank your present financial status on the same good, reasonable, or poor scale.
I found the questions to be a bit random as I went through the questionnaire. Next, will ask you to rate your sleeping routines and respond to if you are comfortable with your identity.

|2013 Men's ACC Championships|
|Date||Wednesday-Saturday Feb. 27-March 2|
|Location||Greensboro, N.C. | Greensboro Aquatic Center|
|Coverage||Live Results | Live Video (Thur-Sat finals)|
|Additional Information||Twitter | Facebook | Schedule of Events|
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va.—The No. 9 Virginia men’s swimming and diving team will compete for its 16th overall and sixth consecutive Atlantic Coast Conference Championship Wednesday to Saturday (Feb. 27-March 2) at the Greensboro Aquatic Center in Greensboro, N.C. The will be the first men’s meet to be held at a neutral site.
The ACC Digital Network and ESPN3 will broadcast the finals on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Links to the free live video and live results will be available and linked through VirginiaSports.com.
“Consistency will be the key this weekend,” UVa head coach Mark Bernardino said. “We have to be steady and every session has to have an important meaning to every swimmer. Every swim needs to be a good swim. There is no room for error.”
The Cavalier men’s divers competed last weekend at the GAC, where sophomore JB Kolod and freshman Carl Buergler earned 65 points, the fourth-most in the conference. Kolod earned a bronze medal on the 3-meter springboards to earn All-ACC honors.
Virginia Tech leads with 138 points through the three diving events, followed by Duke (91), Florida State (85), Virginia (65), NC State (39), North Carolina (22), Miami (13) and Georgia Tech (11).
“Certainly this is one of the smaller deficits we’ve had in the past decade,” Bernardino said. “Virginia Tech is a powerful diving school and has a significant lead. We’re going to have to steadily chip away at their lead and catch up. This is the closest we have been to Florida State in a long, long time and we’re glad to be in the position we’re in. This is good, positive step for a diving team.”
In 2012, the Cavaliers won their 13th title of the last 14 years with 626.5 points, ahead of Virginia Tech (594.5) and North Carolina (564). UVa finished its dual meet season this year with an 8-1 record, with its only blemish a one-point defeat at Indiana.
The Cavaliers are the highest ranked team in the ACC at No. 9 in the latest College Swim Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) poll. Florida State is tabbed No. 15 followed by North Carolina at No. 16, while Virginia Tech and NC State are No. 21 and No. 22, respectively.
Three Virginia student-athletes were honored with weekly conference awards this season. Junior Brad Phillips and Kolod were recognized for their efforts against ACC rivals Duke and North Carolina, while junior Jan Daniec was honored Jan. 29 for his performance against Wisconsin and Virginia Tech.
The action begins Wednesday with the 200 medley relay at 6 p.m. and the 800 free relay at 7 p.m.

According to reports from Sichuan, recent footage, which shows the mysterious appearance of the water lotus image captured in the Chinese countryside, cause a lot of conjecture. This phenomenon has attracted the attention of tourists who come to see a rare unusual.
There you can see how the surface of still water from the river bed rises pale pinkish-white spots in the shape of a lotus prazitelno similar colors and gradually grow to a certain size.
Surprising that in the middle of the structure, resembling a flower, rainbow appears oily film, which, however, disappears with the increase of the "flower."
The question here is, write the Chinese media, the so-called River Lotus. On its bank, the village from where you can admire the unusual. It is called: Lotus Village. This phenomenon is documented only there. In addition, this miracle on the river is mentioned in legends.
Some observers appear suggested that blame for the origin of the mysterious flower rises from the surface and poured neft.Odnako other witnesses and villagers believe that the need to believe in miracles.
The video tells about the lotus this in English:
And in this video of the lotus can be all considered in much more detail, better, of course, with the sound turned off:

I'm 57 and still having regular periods--WHY??? What is wrong with me? Several months ago I went 80 days without a period, then they came back as "normal" as ever. Why won't they stop???? My FSH is 40, which my Dr. says indicates I AM in menopause. HA!
If you look at a bell curve distribution of the age at which women enter menopause, most fall somewhere between mid-40s and mid-50s, so you're really not all that far off the mark. In other words, there's nothing wrong with you. If anything, you probably have stronger bones as a result.
So you're still having relatively regular periods despite an FSH of 40 (high levels are suggestive of but not diagnostic for menopause). Are you suffering from any vasomotor instability, eg hot flashes and/or night sweats, mood changes, eg depression or extreme emotionality, weight gain, cognitive dysfunction, eg cloudy thinking, etc? More importantly, are you still noticing any monthly cramping, eg mittelschmirtz or ovulation pain? Any bloating or pelvic pain?
Persistent uterine bleeding can be due to fibroids and cancer. It might not be a bad idea to have a pelvic ultrasound and endometrial biopsy or D&C to be absolutely sure. This is probably overkill in your current situation but absolutely indicated if you were to start noticing your period again after 12 months' cessation.
By the way, one doesn't usually just abruptly enter into menopause but rather goes thru a time when one's menses become (more & more) irregular & then infrequent. So perhaps your "several months ago" was the start? If you're concerned, always get a 2nd opinion. Good luck!

On 25 April 2023 Alstom has been awarded a contract by Quebec City for the supply of 34 Citadises for the city’s tramway project. The contract, with a total value of around 900 million EUR, includes the design and supply of the rolling stock and maintenance for a period of 30 years. The contract also includes an option for a maximum of five trams, including maintenance.
The trams will be developed by Alstom engineers based in Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville - Alstom’s headquarters in the Americas located on the south shore of Montreal - and will be assembled at its La Pocatière plant in the Bas-Saint-Laurent region.
The trams will be adapted to the climatic and topographical conditions of Quebec City. Comfortable, modern and spacious trams will run on a 19 km long line that will form the backbone of an improved public transit network for Quebec City. The tramway will offer an attractive transportation alternative to alleviate road congestion, reduce the impact of mobility on the environment and air quality, improve the quality of life for residents and further enhance the attractiveness of Quebec City.

You can easily create a single label along with some fabric and minimal embellishing to pretty up a basic canning jar for gift giving. Or, take a more simple approach and create a whole slew of them in a matter of minutes to properly label a whole season’s worth of harvest. Bottom line, it all starts with the help of the Fuse Creativity System.
First gather the cardstock and ink you would like use. Next, you’ll insert your label press plate from the Medium Expansion Pack 0084 into the recessed area of the Medium Design Set 0084 and place into the orange carrier. Ink the press plate with ink. Remove from the orange carrier and place a 4 ½” square of cardstock onto the press plate, textured side down. Top with the cutting plate and crank it through the Fuse. Remove the die-cut piece and allow ink to dry for a few minutes.
Then, using your Alpha Basic Stamp Set and an acrylic block, stamp the jar contents onto the label. If the description is longer, try stamping on two separate lines to ensure you don’t run out of space. Also, stamp working from the bottom of the label up. I recommend stamping longer words one letter at a time so you can stamp each letter closer together. Shorter words can easily be arranged on the block, inked and stamped all at together making the process of duplicating a large number of labels a super slick process.
To add some fun flair to your jars for gift giving, trace the outer ring of the smallest circle in the Supersized Circle Template set onto the backside of a coordinating piece of fabric.
Cut out along your traced line using pinking shears.
Lay fabric over the jar’s seal, and then tighten the band onto the jar to hold in place. Thread coordinating ribbon or baker’s twine around the band and thread through the holes of a large button before tying in a bow.
Cut a 12” x 1” strip of coordinating patterned paper. Place adhesive on the back of the strip and wrap around the jar for a simple embellishment. The 12” strip with be slightly shorter than the circumference of a quart-sized canning jar, but the die-cut label will cover where the seams don’t meet.
Adhere label to jar using an adhesive tape runner.

In an incident-packed race at the Diriyah Circuit, Friday's first-round victor Sam Bird crashed out midway through proceedings and the safety auto was deployed twice.
The 2019-20 season has started in much the same way, after BMW driver Alexander Sims claimed his first ever Formula E win in Diriyah in Saudi Arabia. A crash involving Audi driver Daniel Abt prompted his safety vehicle to deploy with six minutes left but Bird held on to win his ninth ePrix victory on the fifth anniversary of his maiden Formula E victory. "Envision Virgin Racing gave me an incredible auto", said Bird afterward.
"Last year was hard and I went through a bit of a transformation. The team have learned a lot as well", he added.
READ: Formula E: Mercedes are coming ...
Oliver Turvey was also disqualified from the race for using more than the allotted allowable energy from the battery.
Alex Sims emerged with his first Formula E victory during Saturday's second round of the season at the Riyadh Street Circuit. On Lap 20, Bird used his second attack mode to stay ahead of Lotterer who had risen to P4 from P7 and used his his extra power to overtake Vries on Lap 22.
The "Fanboost" bonus also allows fans to vote for the five drivers they want to receive a five-second burst of power during the second half of the race.
France's Jean-Eric Vergne has won the previous two versions of the title yet faces a new challenge with German assembling monsters Mercedes and Porsche joining an arrangement that a year ago created nine unique victors from 13 races.
It was another disappointing day for reigning champion Jean-Eric Vergne in the Techeetah vehicle, who finished outside the points in 8th place, following a miserable first round on Friday.
Both Porsche and Mercedes had promising starts to life in Formula E.
While the regulations do not permit overtaking until track's control line, including when drivers take attack mode, Guenther passed di Grassi regardless and also dived down the inside of Vandoorne at Turn 18 to move up to third.
The Frenchman, who has won the last two Formula E titles, had to retire early on following damage to the front wheel of his auto. Once that was sorted out and the race resumed for real, Sims made a fast start and quickly pulled away to safety to claim his maiden all-electric series victory, and his first single seater victory in six years.
The drivers will race once again on Saturday, to complete a double header to kick off the new season.

Dangers of Heatstroke (Hyperthermia)
Heatstroke occurs when normal body mechanisms cannot keep the body's temperature in a safe range. Animals do not have efficient cooling systems (like humans who sweat) and can get overheated easily.
A Dog Suffering from Heatstroke May Display These Signs:
Bright red tongue
Red or pale gums
Thick, sticky saliva
Vomiting - sometimes with blood
Other Exacerbating Factors for Heatstroke Can Include:
Brachycephalic breeds (short-nosed and flat-faced) e.g. Pugs, English Bulldogs, French Bulldogs, Pekingese
Thick/long hair coat
Extremes in age (young/old)
Respiratory disease/breathing problems - laryngeal paralysis, collapsing trachea
Heart problems/Cardiovascular disease
Remove the dog from the hot area immediately.
Apply or spray tepid/cool water onto their fur/skin, followed by fanning to maximise heat loss.
Don't use ice-cold water or ice as this may exacerbate the problem.
Wetting down the area around your pet can also help.
Take your pet to the nearest vet immediately.
Heatstroke is a life-threatening emergency, so even if your pet looks like they may be recovering or you just suspect they might have suffered heatstroke they should still always be checked by a vet.
Heatstroke can cause organ damage which might not appear straight away.
Given the seriousness of this condition, it is better to be safe than sorry and have your pet checked out.
Prevention and Keeping Cool
Just like us, most dogs get pretty lazy during hot weather (however, we know there are always exceptions).
Exercise ONLY in the early morning or late afternoon.
Avoid roads or other surfaces that retain the heat for many hours after the sun has set. If a surface feels hot to your hand, it's too hot for your dog's paws and paws can burn (watch sand, roads and concrete).
Replace physical exercise with mental exercise particularly for restless and youthful dogs. Try some scent games, puzzle toys and trick training on really hot days.
Allow access to cool surfaces such as tiles and floorboards, breezeways and bathrooms can often be cool places for dogs to lie.
Outside: dogs will often find cool places in dirt or mulch, under the house or on a deck/veranda that is in the shade for most of the day.
Be aware of where the sun hits your house during the day, and make sure to give your dog access to cool spots throughout the day.
Consider cool coats, mats or cooling bandanas for your pets, but only under supervision.
Provide lots of COOL water - use ice to keep water outside cool.
Make sure water outside is in the shade for the entire day.
Encourage your dog to drink by adding water to their food, freezing their food into ice blocks or using some of our ice block recipes. Some ingredients such as coconut water can be hydrating and useful during hot weather.
Water fountains can encourage pets to drink more and are usually filtered so are healthier for your pets.
Of course, pets should only be in cars if you are driving (preferably in air con!)
Never leave them in a parked car even for a couple of minutes.
Make sure your dog has adequate shade if traveling on the back of a Ute, and something to stand on that isn’t metal or heat absorbent.
Ice blocks, clamshells, swimming, frozen toys are just some ideas.
We hope you and your pets stay cool this summer!
