A statue of the Our Lady of Lourdes has disappeared from a grotto on the grounds of a church in Kilmacanogue, Co. Wicklow
The statue, which locals say is around 100 years old, vanished sometime on bank holiday Monday last.
Appeals have been made for its return while confusion remains as to how the heavy statue of the Virgin could have been removed.
A local woman said that the theft “beggars belief” as the area was buzzing with activity on the day the statue was taken.
It is believed the statue did not suffer significant damage during its removal as no fragments were found at the scene.
Locals say the statue is approximately five feet tall. A statue of Saint Bernadette, who kneels in the grotto in adoration of the Virgin was left untouched.
Gardai were alerted after curate, Fr. Hyacinth Nwakuna, made enquiries as to whether anyone had arranged to have the statue removed for cleaning or renovation and was told that no such arrangements had been made.
Local parishioner Eleanor Freeney spoke to Gript about the disappearance of the statue saying, “It’s upsetting because that statue represents the mother of my God, and to steal it is so disrespectful.”
She added that, “If it were anyone else’s religion no one would dare to do such a thing.”
The young woman continued saying, “My great grandfather helped build that grotto a hundred years ago.”
“Our Holy Mary statue has stood watch over our village for a century. It is unthinkable that someone would go to the lengths they have, and unbelievably ignorant that shows people are hoping to cause upset.
The lack or religious toleration in this country is growing.” she said
Gript has learned that the statue was recently repainted during the covid pandemic.
The grotto, which is built into the side of a steep hill, can be seen by passing traffic on the Glen of the Downs road and is an icon of the area.
Local Gardaí are investigating the disappearance of the statue from the grounds of the 200 year old church.

Vandals deface a symbolic Soviet Star and paint it to look like Patrick from "SpongeBob SquarePants"
The unidentified culprit will pay a fine upward of $1,500 for the prank
President-elect Donald Trump isn’t the only American star Russians are interested in. At least some Russians also seem to be smitten with another kind of US star, a pink cartoon one that lives under the sea.
Vandals in Russia defaced a Soviet star, a highly revered symbol of communism in the country, atop a building in a city center, painting it to look like Patrick, the cartoon starfish from the popular kids show “SpongeBob SquarePants.”
The vandalized star in the southeastern town of Voronezh has garnered worldwide attention, “but the townspeople are divided in opinion. Many consider it vandalism, some a manifestation of contemporary art,” local photographer Paul Dolgikh said.
Although the World War II era building is not a memorial, it once served as a repository for military supplies and is heavily adorned with Soviet symbols. Local police believe the star was vandalized on October 25. They launched an investigation Friday in search of a culprit with a penchant for heights.
According to Voronezh Department of Internal Affairs representative Natalia Kulikova, it would cost the city 100,000 rubles (about $1,500 US dollars) to restore the Soviet star, but the city wants to identify who pulled the stunt and have them foot the bill. So, authorities plan to wait out the current cold and windy weather before they fix the defacement.

How The Light Gets In
(Acknowledgment of a Faceless Angst)
The sky wallows through a broken blue,
Bruised only by the silhouettes of hanging clouds,
Which sit so sad along the night’s fading breath,
In whispered rasps of rattled death,
That provides the earth a squally shroud.
How the light gets in, I do not know.
The peeking rays of a reluctant sun
Ebb along the blackened sky,
Seeping idle radiance,
Exploding across the horizon’s lie.
How the light gets in, I just don’t know.
A flaming scarlet scorches the swimming clouds
Burning lacklustre burgundy into shifting vermillion hues,
Gushing violent life through the broken blues.
How the light gets in…
And so, the inferno sky blisters on,
Bathing light into deathly shallows
Hollowing the deep yawning depths
Of night’s gaping sorrows.
How the light gets in, I am sorry I’ll never know,
For I am forever night
As I cast another

The Pisgah AL 35765 Comic Shop That You Could Depend On
The initial step is finding the comic book shops in your area. Driving around and wishing to stumble throughout one is probably not your best option; while some might stick out, lots of mix in with other local stores, or are tucked away on backstreet you might not think to check out. Utilizing the yellow pages (yes, some of us do still keep phone books in your home) is an excellent place to begin your search. For those of us who are computer system literate, the web is the very best bet. The comic shop Locator site uses your zip code to locate all the comic book stores within a 30 mile radius.

Some tunes tell characters from the movies. Others like ‘What are you Gon na Do When You Discover Bigfoot’ are almost these movies that were remarkable. I suggest, I’m not really into Bigfoot myself, but these people were so engulfed by this idea that [bigfoot] is out there, that we were obliged to compose a tune about it.

Since it was on my mind and prior to the discussion was over we were currently composing music for it and whatever, I called Evan one day about it. We actually played that tune for the very first time at a comic book store. We’re both comic book fans and we dipped into Star Clipper in the Loop for a comic book release. We simply called and asked if we could play, and individuals there resembled, ‘well, we’ve never had a rock band play at an event prior to however why not?’ and so we played and we debuted Batman: The Ride there.

I've been wanting to make a post about this for awhile now, so I finally decided to.
Our current starting linebackers are WLB Dunbar, MLB JL55, and no one at SLB. So my question or reasoning of this post is to see your guys' opinions on the futurre of this group.
We have JL55 locked up for the next few years and I believe Dunbar is in the last year of his contract because he only signed a two-year deal. They may be wanting LB Daryl Smith to occupy SLB for a year or two with the report of him coming in for a visit (left without a contract).
I'm worried about Dunbar having another good to great season and leaving for another team that offers more money than us. And then were back to pretty much having nothing next to JL55 again. I know Snead/Fisher have their plan, but this is what has been on my mind...
Is Dunbar better fitted for the SLB? Do we draft a WLB this year (Ogletree or Greene) that can cover better and more athletic and rangy from sideline-to-slideline? Or do we just leave Dunbar at WLB and draft a SLB in the later rounds.
What would you guys do?

Only a fraction of the energy available at one trophic level is transferred to the next trophic level; the fractions can vary between 1-15%, with an average value of 10%. Typically the numbers and biomass of organisms decreases as one ascends the food chain.
So, what is the original source of energy in the food chain?
A food chain shows how energy is passed on from one organism to another. The original source of energy is the Sun, which in this example provides the sunlight needed by the grass for photosynthesis. The grass is the producer in this food chain.
What is the main source of energy in the food chain?
3.1 The Sun is the major source of energy for organisms and the ecosystems of which they are a part. Producers such as plants, algae, and cyanobacteria use the energy from sunlight to make organic matter from carbon dioxide and water. This establishes the beginning of energy flow through almost all food webs.
Where does the energy come from for all organisms in a food chain?
In the wild, a basic food chain would be plants and a bison. The bison is the primary consumer of the plants which are the producers of the energy which comes from photosynthesis which is powered by the sun.
What would happen if a species goes extinct?
If one species in the food web ceases to exist, one or more members in the rest of the chain could cease to exist too. A plant or animal doesn’t even have to become extinct to affect one of its predators. The U.S. Geological Survey notes that this decline probably caused the fish to go extinct.
Where do ecosystems get most of their energy from?
Organisms can be either producers or consumers in terms of energy flow through an ecosystem. Producers convert energy from the environment into carbon bonds, such as those found in the sugar glucose.
What is the rule of 10%?
The 10% Rule means that when energy is passed in an ecosystem from one trophic level to the next, only ten percent of the energy will be passed on. A trophic level is the position of an organism in a food chain or energy pyramid. Now, to get the fish, Jamal has to expend energy.
What is the shark in the food chain?
The Importance of Sharks. As apex predators, sharks play an important role in the ecosystem by maintaining the species below them in the food chain and serving as an indicator for ocean health. They help remove the weak and the sick as well as keeping the balance with competitors helping to ensure species diversity.
Why is ATP useful as an energy carrier?
It only stores small amounts of energy by adding phosphate groups to the ADP molecules and then produces ATP. Fully charged: ATP (adenosine triphosphate) can easily release and store the energy by breaking and re-forming the bonds between phosphate groups. This is the basic energy source for cells.
Do organisms always have to stay in the same level?
Do organisms always stay in the same level? Explain your answer. No, organisms such as humans are omnivores, meaning they can eat both meat and plants and may act as 1st, 2nd or 3rd level heterotrophs.
Why is the energy transfer between trophic levels not even close to 100% efficient?
Energy decreases as it moves up trophic levels because energy is lost as metabolic heat when the organisms from one trophic level are consumed by organisms from the next level. Trophic level transfer efficiency (TLTE) measures the amount of energy that is transferred between trophic levels.
Which way do the arrows point in a food chain?
Food chains show how organisms are connected through what they eat. The arrows in the chain always point in the direction the energy flows (towards the organism doing the eating). The first consumer in the food chain is known as the primary consumer. The second consumer is known as the secondary consumer.
Why do ecosystems require a constant input of energy from the sun?
The vast majority of energy in food webs originates from the sun. Energy is not recycled in ecosystems and each ecosystem requires a continuous input of energy to sustain it. There is some energy transformed at each level of the food chain or food web in an ecosystem.
Which type of organism produces food in an ecosystem?
An autotroph is an organism that can produce its own food using light, water, carbon dioxide, or other chemicals. Because autotrophs produce their own food, they are sometimes called producers. Plants are the most familiar type of autotroph, but there are many different kinds of autotrophic organisms.
What happens to most energy at each trophic level?
The amount of energy at each trophic level decreases as it moves through an ecosystem. As little as 10 percent of the energy at any trophic level is transferred to the next level; the rest is lost largely through metabolic processes as heat.
Which type of metabolic process releases energy?
Some catabolic pathways can capture that energy to produce ATP, the molecule used to power all cellular processes. Other energy-storing molecules, such as lipids, are also broken down through similar catabolic reactions to release energy and make ATP.
How many trophic levels are found in a food chain?
All food chains and webs have at least two or three trophic levels. Generally, there are a maximum of four trophic levels. Many consumers feed at more than one trophic level. Humans, for example, are primary consumers when they eat plants such as vegetables.
Why is the number of links in a food chain Limited?
Food chains. The other organisms in the food chain are consumers – they all get their energy and biomass by consuming (eating) other organisms. Most food chains are quite short, and they rarely consist of more than four steps. This is because a lot of energy is lost at each step.
Why are there only a few organisms at the top of an energy pyramid?
The organisms that eat the primary consumers are meat eaters (carnivores) and are called the secondary consumers. Because of this inefficiency, there is only enough food for a few top level consumers, but there is lots of food for herbivores lower down on the food chain. There are fewer consumers than producers.
What is the difference between a food chain and food web?
A food web consists of many food chains. A food chain only follows just one path as animals find food. eg: A hawk eats a snake, which has eaten a frog, which has eaten a grasshopper, which has eaten grass. A food web shows the many different paths plants and animals are connected.
What is the 10% law?
According to this law, during the transfer of energy from organic food from one trophic level to the next, only about ten percent of the of energy from organic matter is stored as flesh. The remaining is lost during transfer, broken down in respiration, or lost to incomplete digestion by higher trophic levels.
What is the definition of energy pyramid?
An energy pyramid is a graphical model of energy flow in a community. The different levels represent different groups of organisms that might compose a food chain. From the bottom-up, they are as follows: Producers — bring energy from nonliving sources into the community.
What is each level of the food chain called?
The trophic level of an organism is the level it holds in a food pyramid. Green plants (autotrophs) are therefore known as ‘Producers’ in a food chain. The second level of the food chains is called the Primary Consumer. These consume the green plants.
Why do different trophic levels have different levels of energy?
Explanation: Organisms at different tropic levels are at different levels of the food chain. The Organisms must get enough energy to sustain life and reproduce. 90% of the energy an organism gets from the lower level is used up in life processes.

The number of attacks in the crypto industry has risen 192% year-over-year from 25 to 73 this past quarter, per research from Immunefi. Despite this hefty rise, the total amount of money lost is actually down by 64.4%—likely due to market conditions. Immunefi assessed the total amount of crypto funds lost by the community due to hacks and scams by reviewing, validating, and classifying publicly available data. They have been conducting similar reports since 2021. Crypto losses fall into two categories in this report: losses that are the result of a contract flaw, known as a hack or exploit; or losses caused by human behavior such as a rug pull, scam, or fraud. Another key insight the study revealed was that the BNB Chain was the prime target for exploits and scams. In fact, Immunefi reports that 73.3% of all rug pulls that the security firm surveyed occurred on the BNB Chain. A rug pull refers to instances when a project raises funds, for example, for a new token or NFT collection, promising certain benefits to users, but then the developers abandon the project and fail to deliver the promised benefits, but retain the buyers’ funds. “BNB Chain still has a serious issue with developers using forked code,” Immunfi’s triaging team lead Adrian Hetman Tech said in the report.
While these are the largest cryptocurrency hacks that have happened in the first quarter of 2023, OODA has been compiling a comprehensive Web3 incident database since cryptocurrency gained acceptance, based on our research to categorize what compromises are taking place as well as document the root causes that plague Cryptos, DeFi, NFTs, and Web3 in general. Tracking root causes provides comprehensive insights into how innovators can create robust cyber risk management approaches and reduce the potential for consequential attacks. You can access the OODA comprehensive Crypto Incident tracker here.

Julien Dubuque International Film Festival to hold its tenth annual event
The Julien Dubuque International Film Festival plans to hold its tenth annual event in person, following all local and county recommended COVID-19 procedures, as well as taking additional precautions.
“We are thrilled to be able to watch film together again,” said Susan Gorrell, executive director of the festival. “Of course things will be a bit different this year, but there’s something about the group experience of watching a movie that makes the festival experience special.”
Masks will be required in JDIFF events and screenings, and the festival will be following COVID-19 protocol outlined by its Covid Compliance Officer. Details regarding the festival’s COVID-19 procedures are posted at JulienFilmFest.com.
This is first time JDIFF, whose title sponsors include the Telegraph Herald and Runde Auto Group, has spanned eight days. The extension will allow plenty of time to screen both 2020 and 2021 Official Selections.
“Since we didn’t have an in-person event last year, we felt it was very important to still showcase those films with their own in-person screenings,” Gorrell said. “That is why filmmakers submit to festivals, to get eyes on their film and to gauge audience reactions.”
The official schedule, list of films, and trailers will be released the week of April 1 at JulienFilmFest.com. There will be limited screenings and seating all week as part of the festival’s COVID prevention strategy, so it is recommended that festival-goers purchase their tickets early.
General film tickets are $10 each and will be available to purchase online and to pick up at the festival box office at Hotel Julien Dubuque. There are also three-day, five-day, and eight-day all-access passes available.
Another new component for this year is seating pass holders last so ticket holders can be seated first in order to adhere to COVID-19 guidelines. It is suggested that pass holders pick up tickets at the box office ahead of time (tickets are free for pass holders) in order to reserve a seat.
Panels and workshops will be announced in April.
Here’s the schedule at-a-glance:
Friday & Saturday, April 16-17: Film pre-screenings will be held in Galena in partnership with Galena County Tourism. All times and details will be posted at julienfilmfest.com.
Sunday, April 18 to Tuesday, April 25: Film screenings all day. Other events will be announced.
Wednesday, April 21: Wednesday is the Five Flags Welcome Mingle, an opportunity to meet and greet with filmmakers and festival goers and to plan your movie-watching schedule, sponsored by Five Flags Center. It is also Celebrate Canada Night, which will feature a to-be-announced Canadian film in partnership with the Canadian Consulate.
Thursday, April 22: Thursday is Runde Free Day. All regular film screenings are free, courtesy of title sponsor Runde Auto Group.
“It’s about making the festival accessible to everyone and making sure they understand that this is intended to create a community conversation and this is a way to do it and experience it without any cost,” said Tim Runde, past president of the film festival board and representative of title sponsor Runde Auto Group. “We don’t want there to be economic barriers to the festival. It’s for everyone.”
Thursday is also International Night. The festival will screen the 1-hour 44 minute feature film The Cave, which follows the story of a Thai youth football team trapped in a cave while rescue workers scramble to save them. Director Tom Waller will be in attendance.
Friday, April 23: Friday will feature the World Premiere of Saving Paradise, a family friendly drama based on a true story. If follows a ruthless corporate raider on the verge of making partner at his private equity firm, when he suddenly inherits his father’s nearly bankrupt pencil factory and is forced to return to his small-town roots. With a foreclosure deadline looming, he must decide to either let it close or join the community’s fight to save it. Director Jay Silverman will be in attendance.
The screening will be followed by the festival’s free Block Party, during which Main Street from Second to Third streets is closed down for bands, dancing, and outdoor seating at the Hotel Julien Dubuque.
The featured entertainment will be Tylor Brandon, an up-and-coming country band from New Mexico.
Saturday, April 24: The Awards Night and After-Party will be held on Saturday night. There will be limited seating and attendance.
Sunday, April 25: The festival will show a closing film in partnership with the Dubuque Community Foundation with appetizers served beforehand. While it is a free event, there will be limited seating and attendance, so a ticket will be required.
Voted one of the Top 25 Coolest Film Festivals in the World by MovieMaker Magazine, the tenth annual Julien Dubuque International Film Festival is set for April 18-25, in downtown Dubuque.


The game-winning goal was a point shot the deflected off a Minnesota Wild player. The tying goal had a Wild player screening the goalie. Such is playoff hockey.
Those are not the reasons why the Wild dropped game 1 in the Stanley Cup Playoffs to the Winnipeg Jets by a 3-2 margin Wednesday night north of the border. The Wild grabbed a 2-1 lead early in the third with goals from a couple Minnesota, veteran players in Matt Cullen and Zach Parise, and then the Jets turned on the jets the rest of the way as the Wild didn’t see much of the offensive zone again.
It’s the first playoff victory in Winnipeg/Atlanta Thrashers history. Wild goaltender Devan Dubnyk kept the game close by stopping 37 of the 40 shots Winnipeg threw at him.
“I thought we played a good game,” Dubnyk said. “Just shows you the margin is small. We’ve got to finish.”
It’s the finishing part that has haunted the Wild in the past. Before the scoring got started, which didn’t happen for either team until late in the second, the Wild had a few opportunities to put the puck in the net.
Cullen and Charlie Coyle had a 2-on-1 chance in the second but couldn’t get a shot off. Jonas Brodin tried to feed Jason Zucker on the rush in the first, but the puck skipped off Zucker’s stick in a one-too-many-passes scenario. Eric Staal and Parise were also shut down pretty well the first two periods; neither registered a shot on goal in 40 minutes. They each finished the game with one shot on goal.
“We had stretches that we played alright,” Cullen said. “We view this as a missed opportunity. I don’t think we played to our level, to be honest.”
First blood went to the Jets, taking a 1-0 lead with 2:23 to play in the second period with a power-play goal from Mark Scheifele on his one-timer from the high slot. He scored just 20 seconds into Nate Prosser’s holding penalty after his hard hit into the end boards on Brandon Tanev.
The goal had to be deflating for a Wild team that played a solid middle frame, generating more scoring chances and outshooting the Jets 12-8 in the second.
The Wild did exactly what they needed to start out the final 20 minutes down a goal: They scored and took a lead. First, it was the NHL’s oldest player with 124 games of playoff experience. Cullen accepted a pass in the slot from rookie Jordan Greenway to tie the game 1-1 just 1:46 into the third period.
Two minutes, 12 seconds later, Parise gave the Wild a 2-1 lead with 16:02 to play. Mikko Koivu made a pass up to Mikael Granlund who went into the zone on a 2-on-1 with Parise. Granlund was ever-so-patient and slid the puck over to Parise at the last minute in front of the crease for the tap-in goal.
That’s where the good things end for Minnesota.
“It was a great play by Granny for Zach’s goal,” said head coach Bruce Boudreau. “Great play by Greenway on the boards. That gave us a lot of life, but we just couldn’t sustain it.”
Less than a minute after the Wild grabbed the lead, they turned the puck over. Patrik Laine weaved his way into the zone with the puck and fired his tough shot past Dubnyk. Tie game.
“One turnover can be the difference in a game,” Dubnyk said.
The Wild, which should have had momentum with a 2-1 lead, were on their heels. The Jets sent shot after shot toward the Wild goal. Jared Spurgeon saved a puck that trickled through Dubnyk’s pads toward the goal line. Dubnyk was absolutely peppered and kept the game tied – until there was 7:12 remaining.
In a goal that you could feel coming from the Jets, Joe Morrow took a shot from the point that deflected off Coyle and into the net for the eventual game-winner. It could be seen as a tough break, but the Jets were also making their chances at that point.
Boudreau pulled Dubnyk with more than two minutes to play and had plenty of offensive faceoffs to try and get the equalizer as the Jets iced the puck multiple times trying to score the empty-netter. Time finally expired, and the Wild found themselves in a 0-1 hole in the best-of-seven series.
The Jets outshot the Wild 19-4 in the third period and 40-20 for the game.
Shocking to probably no one, the game was a physical, hard-hitting match-up. Dustin Byfuglien took the first Jets penalty when he pushed Greenway out from in front of the Jets’ goal crease. Byfuglien took the penalty when he went a bit too far and punched Greenway in the face. Unfortunately, the Wild came up empty on the power play, despite offensive zone tie.
The Jets recorded 39 hits in the game to the Wild’s 31. Players were protective of their goaltenders and were not afraid to finish checks. There were more than a few after-whistle skirmishes. Nino Niederreiter led the Wild with seven hits.
For Boudreau, he said his team had a good opportunity to win that game. He even noted the closeness of the game afterward, saying it’s not like the Jets put up six goals. He also recognized the mistakes and what led to the tying and game-winning goals.
“We gave them the second goal,” Boudreau said. “The third goal was a deflection off our stick. We made a couple young mistakes.
“We can play a lot better than what we played tonight.”
Dubnyk (0-1) with 37 saves on 40 shots. Connor Hellebuyck (1-0) with 18 saves on 20 shots.
All three goals for the Jets players were their first career playoff goals.
Rookies Greenway, and defensemen Carson Soucy and Nick Seeler were all playing in their very first playoff game. Greenway played 11:54 and earned his second NHL point and first playoff assist, plus he had two hits. Soucy had a hit and two blocked shots in 15:04 on the ice. Seeler recorded a shot on goal, a hit and four blocked shots in 14:04.
Joel Eriksson Ek led the Wild with four shots on goal.
No penalties were assessed in the third period.
Spurgeon was in his first game back from injury. He had two hits in 20:19 of ice time.
Cullen has 19 goals and 38 assists for 57 career playoff points in 124 games.
Parise scored his 33rd playoff goal and leads the Wild with 72 career playoff points.
The 37 saves for Dubnyk ties his career-high for a playoff game.
Defenseman Matt Dumba set a playoff career-high with 30:03 on the ice.
Up next: Game 2 is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Friday in Winnipeg.
Never Miss an Episode of Giles & The Goalie!


The Union Environment Minister Prakash Javadekar on September 7, 2020, chaired a webinar on the first-ever International Day of Clean Air for Blue Skies.
The webinar was joined by Principal Secretaries of the Urban Development Departments and Environment Departments of 28 states and 8 Union Territories. Commissioners of 122 cities as identified in NCAP programme also participated in the webinar.
During the webinar, the Union Minister also reviewed the progress of activities under the National Clean Air Programme (NCAP) which was launched in 2019.
Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Javadekar said, the government is committed to reducing Air pollution levels in 122 most polluted cities.
“Acceptance of a problem is the beginning of the solution. In 2014, we launched AQI monitoring. Now with pan India clean air programme, I am sure we will be able to achieve the goal set by PM Narendra Modi Ji of Holistic improvement in Air Quality in 100 cities,” he tweeted.
The Minister said Government has taken several initiatives during the last few years to reduce pollution in the country.
Launch of the National Clean Air Programme, NACP and National Air Quality Index, NAQI, use of BS-VI fuel, enhancing emission standards for industries, construction of roads for decongestion of traffic, special emphasis to e-vehicles are some of the initiatives.
Mr. Javadekar along with Minister of State Babul Supriyo and Secretary R P Gupta also launched a brochure on Integrated Measures to Combat Air Pollution under the National Clean Air Programme.
In January last year, the Environment Ministry had launched National Clean Air Programme NCAP to tackle the problem of air pollution in a comprehensive manner with a target to achieve 20 to 30 percent reduction in PM 10 and PM 2.5 concentrations by 2024 keeping 2017 as the base year.
The plan identified earlier 102 non-attainment cities, across 23 States and Union Territories. 20 more non-attainment cities have been included under NCAP based on the latest data trend on air quality.
He thanked Mr Modi for bringing the issue in his Independence Day Speech and putting across the goal of Holistic improvement in Air Quality in 100 cities. Mr Javadekar said, Prime Minister himself is determined to bring this change
The General Assembly of the UN on December 19, 2019 adopted a resolution to observe the International Day of Clean Air for Blue Skies on September 7 every year starting from 2020.

Who is the best heart hospital?
Cardiologists scottsdale az specialize in conditions involving the heart and blood vessels, and they can diagnose and treat a number of different cardiovascular disorders. They are often referred to as “heart doctors” and can perform both invasive and noninvasive procedures, such as balloon angioplasty (in which a catheter is used to stretch open narrowed veins) or stent placement to keep the blood flowing through blocked arteries.

Your veterinarian is dog dietician knowledgeable about the latest diseases, can perform intricate surgery and is probably very good at diagnosing problems. But chances are that she knows very little about dog nutrition.
The fact is that most vets are obligated to spend only a relatively small portion of their training on animal diet and nutrition. They may have an interest in the topic, but a full-fledged dog dietician devotes their entire career to studying and researching animal nutrition and dietary needs.
The Power of Balanced Nutrition: How a Dog Dietician Can Help Optimize Your Pet’s Health
Often, the most important part of the care you give your pet is not medicine or vaccinations – it’s what you feed them. Whether you’re looking for a high-end dry food, a fresh diet or a homemade recipe, a dog dietician can help you find the best options.
Even if your pet is healthy, you should check in with a canine nutritionist periodically. It’s not unusual for health issues to arise that are directly linked to diet. For example, some foods can cause bladder stones, while others can prevent them from forming.
Dog nutritionists work in a variety of capacities, from large food companies to veterinary practices and even to universities. The one thing they all have in common is a love of animals and a desire to improve their lives through science. Some have an undergraduate degree in animal sciences or biological sciences, while others pursue graduate degrees such as a PhD in animal nutrition. Some veterinary nutritionists also become specialists in their fields, such as zoo nutrition and working with wildlife.

Fibers to help you lose weight
Fiber today is known to every individual all thanx to media, as they have played a very impressive role in doing so. Fiber today is known to people as it helps in prevention of coronary heart disease and cancer. However it is not very evidently known to individuals for weight loss. By improving your digestive health and creating a sense of fullness fibers aid in weight loss.
On an average woman should get 25 grams of fiber per day and men atleast 35-40 grams per day, however the average of what a person consumes is 15 grams per day. Eating fiber rich whole foods and not foods that tout “contains fiber or fiber rich” is the best way to increase fiber intake.
People do not know the importance of fiber which is one of the main reasons they do not consume the right amount of fiber. Additional fiber intake is not required if an individual consumes the daily serving of fruits and vegetables. Fiber is a good way to boost fat loss and deal with weight issues.
Apart from aiding in weight-loss fiber is one of the most natural ways to keep cholesterol levels under check. If an individual has diabetes and consumes fiber it is one of the best ways to control blood sugar spikes. In case of diabetics fiber in the meal allows the person to consume a variety of products.
Constipation today is highly common as people do not realize the main reason behind it. Fiber deficiency is one of the main and most neglected reasons for constipation. Constipation is not good for the health as it leads to toxic build up, fat gain, sickness etc.
Have we ever wondered why is the consumption of fibers through are diet low? One of the main reasons is due to the highly processed foods that we consume today. The various processing methods today strips all the fiber from the food. This is the key reason it is said packaged foods on a regular basis are bad for us. If the food label has less than 2 grams of fiber then it is not a healthy choice.
Another reason why people today consume less fiber is that they do not consume fibrous carbohydrates. The fear of carbohydrates in people is so high today that they forget the fibrous carbohydrate sources. Fibrous carbohydrates are typically low in carbohydrates however provide substantial amount of fiber.
The best sources of fibrous carbohydrates include;-
- Green beans
- Brown rice
Apart from these natural sources isabgol (psyllum husk) is a complete source of fiber for the body. It helps in detoxifying the body and pulls away cholesterol. However it should be consumed in moderation.
Fiber is critical to good health and should be included for every weight loss diet. It’s high time we make conscious efforts to incorporate fiber in the diets. It will not only help in losing weight but will also keep at bay negative effects on health.


England boss Gareth Southgate retains faith in ‘cult hero’ Harry Maguire
Southgate is planning widespread changes for Tuesday’s friendly against Ivory Coast at Wembley as the Three Lions continue World Cup preparations.
Gareth Southgate retains faith in “cult hero” Harry Maguire’s ability to compete at the highest level as the under-fire Manchester United captain prepares to line up in Tuesday’s friendly against Ivory Coast.
The Three Lions kicked off World Cup preparations with a hard-fought 2-1 comeback win in Saturday’s friendly against Switzerland at Wembley, where they return to take on non-European opposition for the first time since 2018.
Southgate is planning widespread changes as England and Ivory Coast meet in a senior international for the first time, with Maguire among those set to start under the arch.
The 29-year-old has struggled for form during a difficult season as a collective at United but the Three Lions boss has always kept faith with the centre-back.
“I hope we have an environment that all the players feel they can be the best versions of themselves,” Southgate said. “A lot of that is credit to the environment they have created.
“We have got super characters. I am looking at the young players coming in, the older players are all sitting with them at meal times, making them feel relaxed and at ease.
“Then there’s clarity on your job, on the pitch, what’s expected of you. I think they are things we have to achieve to let people perform at the best level.
“In terms of selection, that’s always a difficult conundrum because we’ve got players who we know have performed well in an England shirt.
“There’s got to be some level of scrutiny on how people are playing with their clubs because that has got to be a factor in it.
“Then, not so for this week, who is the opponent, who is best suited to playing against the opponent, so it is a complicated thing.
“I know everybody has a view on who we should and shouldn’t be picking.
“In the end we need the best players possible, playing at their best level to give ourselves the best chance of winning.”
Pushed on Maguire in particular, Southgate said: “Well, he has got us to a World Cup semi-final and a European Championship final, so there’s no doubt he is more than capable of playing at the highest level.
“He was very good for us in the autumn and, yeah, the club are in a difficult moment. There could be any number of reasons for that.
“That doesn’t mean that players can be poor for a couple of years and then still find their way in and sometimes it depends on competition for positions.
“We’ve obviously left some forward players out, who haven’t been in good form, but there’s direct replacements, experienced replacements, for those players. As I say, it is a complicated decision.“
He's been a cult hero for England and he's been a critical part of us getting to a World Cup semi-final and the European Championship final in a tournament in which he was one of the players of the tournament and named in the team of the tournament
Gareth Southgate on Harry Maguire
Southgate says he has not gone out of his way to speak to heavily scrutinised Maguire during the international camp, saying he had “complete trust in him” heading into the Ivory Coast encounter.
“I think my experience of Harry Maguire with England has been our fans singing their song about him drinking whatever,” he told talkSPORT.
“He’s been a cult hero for England and he’s been a critical part of us getting to a World Cup semi-final and the European Championship final in a tournament in which he was one of the players of the tournament and named in the team of the tournament.
“So, of course, one of the difficulties of playing for England is you’ve got club rivalry and it’s tribal and people will jump on things. I recognise that his own club, he’s perhaps not feeling that full support of the fans at the moment.
“But I never think that is going to help a player perform at his very best, so we’ve got a player here who has been exceptional for England and has almost, with John (Stones), changed the type of football we’ve been able to play from the back over a period of time.”
All 24 remaining players practiced at Tottenham’s training ground on the eve of the friendly, but John Stones later left the squad and returned to Manchester City as a precaution.
It remains to be seen whether Emile Smith Rowe is able to start after missing the Switzerland encounter on Saturday.
Harry Kane’s match-winning spot-kick sealed victory over the Swiss and took him level with Sir Bobby Charlton on 49 international goals, putting him four behind England’s all-time top scorer Wayne Rooney.
It seems unlikely that the skipper will get the chance to add to that tally from the start on Tuesday but Southgate says his enthusiasm is infectious.
“If he had his way he’d play 90 minutes of every fixture, which is a brilliant quality to have because if your captain wants to be at every camp and playing every minute of every game then that sets the tone for everything else,” he said.

“The fact is we’ve got a good squad. We want to keep people involved and give people opportunities.
“We need to see certain things across the week to see how people can play at the level, so we’ll make those decisions on when he plays and doesn’t play.
“But I repeat, it is a good quality to have and that’s why he has got the number of caps he has (68).
“I always used to talk about the Gerrards, the Lampards and the Ashley Coles. They got the number of caps they have because they committed every time they came to England and that is what you want.”

J. Prince is apparently doing a media run surrounding Takeoff’s death. As the Prince family continue to face backlash following Take’s passing, they appeared on Gillie and Wallo 267’s Million Dollaz Worth Of Game podcast. Though the Prince family tried to clear their name from the negative press, J Prince criticized Offset for not being present in Take’s life around the time of his passing.
“This Offset dude. I ain’t gon’ leave him out because I’m real like this, you now? N***as be throwin’ rocks and hidin’ their hand,” Prince said on the podcast. “I don’t like them type of individuals. And the truth of the matter is, one can dance and different things in front of different cameras and all kinds of shit… You wasn’t really right there with Takeoff when he was alive. So, for you to be taking these positions you are taking – and I got people everywhere so I hear all kinds of things. I’mma just say this to you – don’t ever put me in a position where I got to defend myself.”
By now, it’s no secret that Offset’s relationship with Quavo, at least, was kind of rocky. As a result, he became distant from Takeoff in the public eye throughout the roll out for Only Built For Infinity Linx. However, Take’s death undoubtedly impacted Offset, whether or not he was around the late rapper.
Shortly after the interview with J Prince went viral, Offset slammed the Rap-A-Lot founder in a message shared to Instagram. On his Story, ‘Set expressed outrage at Prince’s comments, specifically the audacity to comment on his relationship with Takeoff. “I don’t know what the f*ck y’all got going on. You speaking on my real brother. How dare one of y’all n***as speak on me and Take relationship, n***a? I don’t know you n***as from a can of paint,” he said. Moreover, he called out the Prince family for the series of interviews they’ve done to discuss Takeoff’s passing.
“You ain’t think about his momma? You ain’t think about the family, n***a? We ain’t said nothing,” he continued. “Nobody said nothing but you n***as. Who y’all n***as think y’all n***as is? John Gotti, n***a? Ain’t nobody going for none of that. I ain’t standin’ for none of that sh*t y’all n***as talkin’ about either.”
Additionally, Offset stated that Prince’s comments derived from things he hard from the grapevine, rather than the source itself. “And, if you heard something from me, I’ma tell you it’s gon’ come from me. Call my phone. Y’all n***as going off he-say-she-say.”
