A personal note from Melanie:
I am a lifelong Ridgewood resident and I’m very happy to be raising my family in the Village I love. I started my early years in Ridgewood and my parents purchased their first home on Pershing Avenue when I was ten years old. We moved in on a hot, steamy, bright, and sunny 4th of July. At that moment I knew Ridgewood would always be home. I could think of no better place to live, work, and raise a family. Ridgewood is a beautiful village with much to offer all members of our community.
I’m especially proud to serve the Village on the Planning Board and other boards. I’m grateful for the opportunity and have made certain my work has been thoughtful and professional. Most important to me is to allow the Village to grow and move into the future while keeping the small-town feel so important to many of my fellow residents.
I was appointed to the Planning Board Visioning Committee and the Master Plan Committee and have worked closely with Mayor Knudsen, Board Chairman Richard Joel, and Board colleague Dianne O’Brien. Our community outreach has afforded me the opportunity to understand how our fellow residents feel about our community. I’ve met with so many Ridgewood friends, neighbors, newcomers, and long-time residents. Sharing ideas about Ridgewood’s past, present, and future. I’ve had the opportunity to hear from young and old and understand and share their concerns and vision.
I’m so excited for the opportunity to run for Village Council and hope you will vote for me. I promise to work hard every day on behalf of all Ridgewood residents and taxpayers.
Please take a moment to visit my website to learn more about me and my platform. I hope my years of community service has helped me to earn your vote – https://www.votehooban.com/
Thank you for your support.
With gratitude, Melanie Hooban

This was written about 3000 years ago:
Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying: "Son of man, there were two women; the daughters of one mother were they. And they played the harlot in Egypt; in their youth they played the harlot. There their bosoms were pressed, and there they squeezed their virgin breasts. And their names were Oholah the elder, and Oholibah her sister, and they were Mine, and they bore sons and daughters, and their names-Samaria is Oholah, and Jerusalem, Oholibah.
Then Oholah played the harlot under Me, and she lusted for her lovers, for the Assyrians, who were nearby. Attired in blue, governors and officers, all of them handsome youths, horsemen, riding on horses. And she bestowed her harlotries upon them, the choice of the sons of Assyria, all of them; and in all that she lusted, she was defiled with all their idols.
And her harlotries from Egypt she did not abandon, for they had lain with her in her youth, and they had squeezed her virgin breasts and poured out their harlotry upon her.Therefore, I delivered her into the hands of her lovers, into the hands of the sons of Assyria, for whom she lusted.They uncovered her nakedness; they took her sons and daughters, and they slew her with the sword, and she became a name for the women, and they executed judgments upon her.
And her sister Oholibah saw, and she became more corrupt than she [Oholah], and in her harlotries more than the harlotries of her sister. For the sons of Assyria she lusted, the governors and officers nearby, attired in all sorts of finery; horsemen riding horses, handsome youths all of them.
And I saw that she had been defiled; they both had one way. And she increased her harlotries, and she saw men engraved on the wall, images of Chaldeans, engraved with types of drawings. Girded with girdles on their loins, colored hanging turbans on their heads; the appearance of mighty men all of them, the likeness of the children of Babylon-Chaldeans-of the land of their birth. And she lusted for them at the sight [that reached] her eyes, and she sent messengers to them, to [the land of] the Chaldeans.
And the children of Babylon came to her for a bed of love, and they defiled her with their harlotry, and she became defiled through them, and her soul was disgusted with them. And she revealed her harlotries and uncovered her nakedness, and My soul became disgusted with her, as My soul had become disgusted with her sister. And she increased her harlotries, to remember the days of her youth, when she played the harlot in the land of Egypt. And she lusted for their concubinage, those whose flesh is the flesh of donkeys, and whose issue is the issue of horses. And you remembered the lewdness of your youth, when your breasts were squeezed by Egypt, because of the bosom of your youth.
Therefore, Oholibah, so said the Lord God: Behold I am arousing your lovers [to march] against you, those with whom your soul has become disgusted, and I shall bring them upon you from all around.
The children of Babylon and all Chaldeans, Pekod, Shoa, and Koa, all the children of Assyria with them, handsome youths, governors and officers all of them, mighty men and summoned ones, all of them horse riders.
And they will come upon you [with] weapons, chariots, and wheels, and with an assembly of peoples; an encompassing shield and a buckler, and a helmet they will place upon you all around; and I shall place judgment before them, and they will judge you with their judgments. And I shall put My jealousy against you,and they will deal with you wrathfully; your nose and your ears they will remove, and your survivors will fall by the sword. They will take your sons and daughters, and your residue will be consumed by fire. And they will strip you of your garments, and they will take the vessels of your glory.
And I shall abolish your lewdness from you and your harlotry, [which is] from the land of Egypt, and you will not lift your eyes to them, neither will you remember Egypt any longer. For so said the Lord God: Behold I am giving you into the hand of those you hate, into the hand of those with whom your soul was disgusted. And they will deal with you with hatred, and they will take all your toil and leave you naked and bare, and the nakedness of your harlotries will be revealed, both your lewdness and your harlotries.
These will be done to you when you go astray after nations, because you became defiled with their idols. [Because] you went in your sister's way, I shall put her cup into your hand.
So said the Lord God: Your sister's cup you shall drink, the deep and the wide one. It will be a cause of scorn and derision, too much to bear. With drunkenness and grief you shall be filled; the cup of desolation and bewilderment, the cup of your sister, Samaria. And you shall drink it and drain [it], and its shards you shall scrape, and you shall tear off your breasts, for I have spoken, so says the Lord God.
Therefore, so said the Lord God: Since you have forgotten Me and have cast Me behind your back, you too bear your lewdness and your harlotries. Then the Lord said to me; Son of man, will you judge Oholah and Oholibah and tell them their abominations? For they have committed adultery, and blood is on their hands, and with their idols they have committed adultery, and also their children whom they bore to Me, they passed over to them to be devoured.
Moreover, this they have done to Me; they defiled My sanctuary on that day, and they profaned My Sabbaths. And when they slaughtered their children to their idols, they would come to My sanctuary on that day, to profane it, and behold, so they did in the midst of My House. And furthermore, that they would send to men who come from afar, to whom an emissary is sent- and behold, they came to the place where you bathed, daubed your eyes, and donned jewelry. And you sit on a stately bed with a table set before it, and My incense and My oil you placed upon it. And the sound of a tranquil multitude was within her, for the sake of men of many people, those dwelling all around, brought from the desert, they placed bracelets on their hands and beautiful crowns on their heads.
And I said of the one who had aged [in] adulteries, "Now her harlotries will end," but she [remained]. And he came to her as one comes to a woman who plays the harlot; so did they come to Oholah and to Oholibah, the lewd women. And righteous men-they will judge you [with] the judgment of adulteresses and [with] the judgment of murderesses, for they are adulteresses and blood is on their hands. For so said the Lord God: Let an assembly be brought up on them and let them be submitted to terror and plunder.
And an assembly shall pelt them with stone and slash them with their swords; they shall slay their sons and daughters and burn their houses with fire.

The most popular psych story last week was about a woman named Sarah who found relief from a device implanted in her brain that sent an electrical pulse every time she had an irrational thought. It was supposed to be a breakthrough, but I couldn’t read about it without sci-fi dystopias playing in my head.
Granted, on an individual level, this implant — technically called Deep Brain Stimulation — could be helpful. All the articles I read said she had been suffering for years. While none explained anything about her life or her context whatsoever, they did quote her saying she was relieved.
Ars Technica’s take says:
“When it detects neural activity associated with irrational thoughts, which previously triggered depressive obsessions, its electrodes deliver a short, corrective electric pulse and ‘poof… the cycle stops,’ as Sarah put it.”
The brain implant is specifically for people with treatment-resistant depression, which usually means they don’t respond to anti-depressants. But this isn’t exactly rare, if you look at the data — in his book Sedated, James Davies writes that, in other areas of medicine, pharmaceutical advances resulted in better outcomes throughout the population over time, as you would expect if the medicines worked. But this hasn’t been the case for psychiatry.
Mental illnesses have actually gotten worse alongside the development and widespread prescribing of psychiatric drugs. Robert Whitaker wrote an entire book about this, finding that in any country where prescribing went up, the rate of people on disability for mental illnesses went up with it.
If the drugs treat depression, why haven’t rates of depression gone down? Why do studies actually show worse outcomes — more depressive episodes, for longer — when people stay on antidepressants long-term? And why are we still sinking money into changing individual brains instead of looking at ways to…

Nobody likes to fail, and whenever a project or cause you believe in receives a setback, it’s only natural to look for someone or something to blame. On that note, it’s pretty clear that many Americans with liberal or moderate views (and not a few conservatives) are still upset about Donald Trump’s victory in the 2016 election and looking for someone to blame.
One of the favorite scapegoats is social media, including Facebook and YouTube, which stand accused of distributing fake news and abetting Russian attempts to sow dissension in the American public.
However, as I sit down to write my last Social Media Insider column for MediaPost, I would like to take the opportunity to urge against settling for explanations that encourage us to point the finger at new technology, scam artists, foreigners — anybody but ourselves.
Don’t get me wrong. Nobody should feel comfortable about the idea of foreign governments trying to influence U.S. public opinion during elections or at any other time.
Fake news is a scourge, Russia is a menace, and if social media helped foreign agents attempting to meddle in U.S. politics, we must take countermeasures to ensure it doesn’t happen again.
The voluntary steps taken by Facebook and Google to identify fake news producers, direct users to real news and trace the origins of online ads are all steps in the right direction, though more will be needed.
The danger, however, is that the losing side of the 2016 election — including left-leaning members of the political establishment, media elite and academia, among others — will cite evidence of Russian meddling to dismiss the election’s results as illegitimate.
This is risky for two reasons.
First and most importantly, blaming social media and fake news allows those who espouse such views to retreat to a comforting but simplistic conclusion that Americans didn’t really mean to elect Donald Trump, but instead were tricked into doing so by Russian spooks.
That interpretation is dangerous because it gives Trump’s critics carte blanche to disregard the resounding, if unpleasant, messages that his supporters sent by voting for him. Economic desperation, loss of feelings of dignity and self-respect, rampant drug addiction, stifling political correctness, and anger at a corrupt, self-dealing political class — these were just some of the factors that delivered Trump to the White House.
And they are very real, enduring problems, not transient phenomena or figments of our imagination.
The fact that 7 million people who voted for Barack Obama switched their allegiance to Trump in 2012 speaks volumes about what really happened. A careless and complacent political class ignored the grievances of half the country and finally paid the price.
Going further back, there is evidence of angry populism, fed by disillusionment with mainstream politics, such as Ross Perot’s surprisingly successful run as a third-party candidate in 1992. Did the Russians contrive to give him 19% of the vote as well?
The second reason blaming social media and fake news is dangerous is because it shifts responsibility for all the various shortcomings of the American electorate — economic illiteracy, racism, xenophobia, and so on — onto unnamed foreigners bent on stirring up trouble.
How plausible is it that hordes of Americans suddenly became bigots because of an ad or fake news story they saw on Facebook? Much more likely is the classic marketing model: Voters who were already so inclined found their prejudices and fears confirmed and encouraged by things they read and saw on Facebook.
Perhaps this validation made them more likely to vote, but in the end, it is still our nation’s own deep-rooted dysfunctions that are to blame. The 2016 election was not the first time savvy politicians have called on the meaner angels of our natures — and unfortunately, it will not be the last.
The irony for me is the derision and contempt thrown at Trump in October 2016 for his suggesting he might not accept the outcome of the impending election. Railing at the officiating is a sore way to lose the game for either side.
He said he might not accept the outcome. It wasn't a suggestion. Anti social media has provided a forum for the sole purpose of the people running them to increase their wealth. You are nothing but a product. There are more reasons why anti social media needs to be reigned in.
To dismiss the effects of manipulated social media is not only risky but dangerous.
An information "dirty bomb" has exploded. Instead of sitting around and suffering or complaining about the damage, we should be acting to nullify the election and
"un-explode the bomb!"
In regards to the other ills, reinforcing our democratic structures and using social media to improve civic engagement and raise the profile of these important concerns, as well as actively defending against the bomb-like messages, this is where we need to focus. Digital literacy is crippled without media literacy.
Thanks for all your columns Erik and may the road rise up to meet you.
Yes social media was a factor.
But the real issue is to review the Electoral College system that delivered 74 more Electoral College votes to the candidate with 1,322,095 less votes. Trump received one Electoral College vote per 200,003 votes while Clinton received one Electoral College vote per 269,496 votes.
It's not a matter of how many votes you win, but where you win them. But a variation of 35% is pretty large. Having said that - the rules were the same for both candidates.

Sherin Thawer is a children’s book author. Her debut title, Attitude of Gratitude: Story of 10 Lepers, is bringing her passion for faith to other Christian families.
A lifelong follower of the Christian faith and lifestyle, Sherin Thawer is dedicated to her religion. A mother, wife and working woman, Thawer has long balanced her passions with her personal and professional lives. Now, as a Christian children’s book author, she’s finding a way to give deeper meaning to the balance. For quite some time, Thawer dreamt of releasing her first book. An avid reader and writer, she constantly worked on developing her literary craft. On a whim, she decided to make her lifelong dream of publishing a book a reality. With her passion directed upward and forward, her first Christian children’s book, Attitude of Gratitude: Story of 10 Lepers, is soon to hit shelves. As a member of the Bartering Exchange Network, Thawer hopes to help other dreamers put their passion for writing into tangible projects.
Attitude of Gratitude: Story of 10 Lepers
Sherin Thawer is set to make her literary debut in late 2021 with her Christian children’s book, Attitude of Gratitude: Story of 10 Lepers. Derived from the Holy Bible, Thawer’s book hopes to introduce young children to the story of Jesus and the Ten Lepers in a light and enjoyable way. A firm believer in the Christian faith, Thawer has always enjoyed faith-based books. When she became a mother, this appreciation only grew stronger. While the Holy Bible itself may sometimes be difficult for young children to grasp, the stories contained in the Lord’s book are still full of powerful lessons. By breaking these stories down in the form of children’s books, Thawer hopes to start conversations about faith between children and their parents.

Vietnam and South Korea have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to develop artificial intelligence (AI) technology in five areas: medical, healthcare, smart cities, and automation in Vietnam’s central coast city of Da Nang, which would position Vietnam as a hub for AI innovation worldwide.
This promising development marks positive progress between the two nations since the inception of the Vietnam Innovation Network in Korea (VINK). This initiative unveiled the Da Nang-Seoul Start-up Innovation Centre and the Vietnam-Korea AI (VKAI) Hub in Da Nang City in early October 2023.
The VKAI Hub partnered with the Korea Artificial Intelligence Association (KORAIA), S-LAB (a member of VINK), the research center of Soonchunhyang University Seoul Hospital, and other relevant partners from South Korea to boost and connect the global AI ecology system, public health, and innovation between Vietnam and the world.
Among these collaborative endeavors, Hospital No 199 and Soonchunhyang University Cheonan Hospital are jointly developing a global AI healthcare system. This initiative is a promising step towards delivering healthcare services to a broad spectrum of individuals, including residents, tourists, and foreign visitors within Vietnam’s central region and beyond.
Previously, EM&AI company and two partners – AI20X Vietnam and WeNet – signed strategic agreements on generative AI Vagent (voice bot), a solution for automatic calls and messages in Vietnamese and English, as well as marketing and customer care AI systems.
In terms of ICT education, the Vietnam-Korea Friendship Information Technology University began training the first 500 semiconductor and chip design engineers in central Vietnam in 2024-2027.
Da Nang’s digital economy, comprising 900 IT businesses and a workforce of 115,000 individuals, constitutes around 20% of the Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) in 2022.

Citation of this paper
Ectoparasite serves as vector of zoonotic and economic diseases, and degrades the welfare of animal. A gap of knowledge concerning ectoparasite fauna has remained in livestock, poultry, companion and exotic animals in Philippines where limited record existed and none in remote regions such as in Leyte Island, Philippines. The present study was carried out to determine the species of lice, fleas and ticks infesting various animals in Baybay, Leyte. A total of 577 ectoparasites were collected, processed and identified morphologically. There were 19 different species identified: 14 lice, 2 fleas, and 3 ticks. Chicken lice recorded were Goniocotes gallinae, Goniodes dissimilis, Lipeurus caponis, Oxylipeurus dentatus, Menopon gallinae, and Menacanthus stramineus. Lice isolated from rock pigeon and turkey were Columbicola columbae and Chelopistes meleagridis, respectively. Damalinia caprae and Linognathus spp. were observed in goats; D. ovis in sheep; Heterodoxus spinigera in dog; Haematopinus tuberculatus in both carabao and cattle; and H. suis in pig. Fleas isolated from dogs were Ctenocephalides felis and Pulex irritans, the former was also seen in cat. Rhipicephalus sanguineus, R. microplus and Aponomma spp. were recorded from dog, large ruminant and reticulated python, respectively. Knowledge in ectoparasite distribution and taxonomic composition will lead to better understanding of vector and vector-borne diseases. This will result in the improvement of diagnosis, prevention and control strategies in the region.
Keywords: arthropod vector, ectoparasite, tropical parasite
Ectoparasites affect the well-being of animals and serve as vector of zoonotic and economic diseases. Three of these important ectoparasites belong to suborder Ixodida (ticks), and orders Siphonaptera (fleas) and Phthiraptera (lice) (Bowman 2009). Ticks and tick-borne diseases can cause major production losses in ruminant and threat to public health by transmitting zoonotic bacteria, viruses and protozoa (Ahmed et al 2007). They are also nuisance to companion animals causing skin damage and irritation. Meanwhile, fleas serve as carrier of known human and animal pathogenic microorganisms such as Yersinia, Rickettsia and Bartonella. They are annoying biters leading to discomfort, secondary infection and skin allergy (Dieme et al 2015; Wall and Shearer 1997). Lice transmit and serve as reservoir of pathogens like swinepox and Rickettsia (Wolf 2010).Their chewing and blood feeding habit will result to anaemia, skin irritation and decrease in production capacity among poultry and livestock (Wall and Shearer 1997). Therefore, ectoparasites are serious pest with vital role in disseminating vector-borne diseases, decreasing animal production and debilitating animal welfare (Campbell-Lendrum et al 2015; Fuehrer et al 2012).
The distribution of ectoparasites certainly varies by location and climate. Tropical and subtropical climates favour good habitat for parasite survival and reproduction, thus infestations are common in Southeast Asian countries (Changbunjong et al 2009; Petney et al 2007). In the Philippines, published reports of ectoparasites fauna in domestic and exotic animals are very few especially in the islands of Visayas. Profile of ectoparasites species (i.e. lice, fleas and ticks) has focused mainly in wild animals from Luzon Island, the northern part of the country.
Researchers have isolated lately some old and new arthropod parasite from Philippine wild birds and small mammals. Common avian lice of the genus Menacanthus, Goniocotes, Menopon and Lipeurus were reported from wild birds in a rescue center (Sia Su et al 2013). Lice of the genus Columbicola, Auricotes, Strigiphilus, Colpocephalum, Kurodaia, Pseudomenopon, Rallicola, and Eulaemobothrion were found in selected Philippine wild birds, in which novel lice species were identified (Eduardo 2014; Eduardo 2012; Desemero and Eduardo 2011). Fleas collected from small mammals belonging to genus Polyplax, Xenopsyllia, Lentistivalius, Thaumapsylla, Ischnopsyllus, Sigmactenus, and Medwayella with new characterized species were also reported (Hastriter and Bush 2014; Durden and Beaucournu 2000; Luyon and Salibay 2007). Moreover, old reports of tick’s species isolated among Philippine wild pigs, Philippine deer and varanid lizards were from the genus Dermacentor, Haemaphysalis and Amblyomma, respectively (Auffenberg 1988; Wassef and Hoogstraal 1988). On the other hand, species of ectoparasites identified from domestic animals in Luzon were limited to Haematopinus tuberculatus (sucking louse of buffalo), Ctenocephalides felis (cat flea), Rhipicephalus sanguineus (brown dog tick) and R. microplus (tropical cattle tick) (Wolf 2010). Avian lice species documented from domestic chickens in the country were M. gallinae, L. caponis, M. pallidullus, G. dissimilis, and O. dentatus (Manuel and Anceno 1981).
Studies that address identification and distribution of parasite fauna in remote regions of developing countries, like in Leyte Island, are very limited and not given enough attention. Given their ability to transmit dreadful human and animal diseases, the need for profiling is therefore urgent. Ectoparasites distribution and taxonomic compositions are key points to improve the diagnosis, prevention and control programs in an area for zoonotic pathogens, as well as for economically important vector-borne diseases (Fuehrer et al 2012). Hence, this paper presents a list of morphologically identified ectoparasites from different animals in Baybay, Leyte, Philippines.
The study was carried out in Baybay, Leyte Island which is located in the eastern Visayas, central part of the Philippines at coordinate 10.6521412 °N, 124.8525626 °E. The climate is characterized by high humidity (80-90%) and temperature (27.2 to 28.2°C). There’s no seasonal demarcation in the area, but possessed high rainfall throughout the year (annual average = 2,500 mm). The eastern part is forested and highly elevated with gradual decrease in elevation to the west towards the shore. Farming and fishing are the two common livelihood of the local people, though some are involved in hunting and collecting forest resources (LGU-Baybay 2013).
Ectoparasites were collected in different villages of Baybay, Leyte, Philippines and processed at the Parasitology Laboratory of the College of Veterinary Medicine, Visayas State University. External parasites were removed manually from the body of the host using forceps and placed in vials containing Alcohol-Formalin-Acetic acid (AFA) for preservation. Afterwards, they were processed and mounted in the slide following the technique described by previous studies (Eduardo 2012; Palma 1978). Identification of the parasite to the genus and species level was carried out using holistic approach, which includes the parasitized hosts, location and finally the morphological key of ectoparasite identification (Wall and Shearer 1997; Pratt and Stojanovich 1992; Stojanovich and Pratt 1992; Soulsby 1982; Emerson 1956).
A total number of 577 ectoparasite were collected from avian, ruminant, swine, canine, feline and reptile in Baybay, Leyte, Philippines (Table 1). This constitutes 322, 71 and 184 numbers of lice, fleas and ticks, respectively. We have identified a total of 19 different species (lice = 14 species; fleas= 2 species; and ticks = 3 species).
Among the 322 number of lice, 14 species were morphologically identified with 11 chewing type (8 species from order Ischnocera; and 3 species from order Amblycera), and 3 sucking type (order Anoplura). Chewing type lice were mainly observed in avian hosts, whereas sucking type lice were only seen in mammalian. Species of chewing lice found to infest chickens in the study area were Goniocotes gallinae (n=6), Goniodes dissimilis (n=4), Lipeurus caponis (n=24), Oxylipeurus dentatus (n=25), Menopon gallinae (n=15), and Menacanthus stramineus (n=10) (Fig. 1). Large numbers of ectoparasite in chicken were identified as L. caponis and O. dentatus. Columbicola columbae (n=50) and Chelopistes meleagridis (n=6), which are both chewing lice, were observed from rock pigeon and turkey, respectively.
In mammalian host, 3 species of chewing lice and 2 species of sucking lice were identified. Goats were infested by Damalinia caprae (n=21) and Linognathus spp. (n=23). Sheep were solely infested by D. ovis (n= 19), while dogs were infested by Heterodoxus spinigera (n=32). Furthermore, the sucking louse of buffalo (H. tuberculatus) were found in both carabao (n=70) and cattle (n=12). In pigs, H. suis (n=5) was observed (Fig. 2).
The study has found 71 numbers of fleas infesting dogs and cats, these are Ctenocephalides felis (n=70) and Pulex irritans (n=1) (Table 1). Majority of the fleas were C. felis which was found to infest both dogs and cats. Pulex irritans (human flea) was recorded in dog (Fig 3). On the other hand, the study was not able to find C. canis.
A total of 184 hard ticks from 3 different species were found in dogs, cattle, carabao and reticulated python (Table 1). Brown dog ticks (Rhipicephalus sanguineus) (n=93) were the only species identified in dogs. The tropical cattle ticks (R. microplus) (n=89) were found in both cattle and carabao. The study has found Aponomma spp. (n=2) in reticulated python (Fig. 4).

The present list of ectoparasite under the orders Pthiraptera (lice) and Siphonaptera (fleas), and suborder Ixodida (ticks) were identified based on holistic approach, taking into account initially the host and location where the parasites were collected, and finally according to morphological keys for diagnosis published by different authors (Wall and Shearer 1997; Pratt and Stojanovich 1992; Stojanovich and Pratt 1992; Soulsby 1982; Emerson, 1956). Identifying parasites in holistic way usually give an efficient process and reliable result when confirmed by microscopy. Through this, morphological identification becomes straightforward.
The present study reported 8 species of avian lice from Baybay, Leyte, Philippines (Figure 1). Lice identified from chicken confirms the study of Manuel and Anceno (1981) who reported M. gallinae, L. caponis, M. pallidullus, G. dissimilis, and O. dentatus in northern Philippines. Interestingly, common lice from domestic chickens such as M. stramineus, Goniodes spp., Goniocotes spp., M. gallinae and L. caponis were observed in wild birds kept in rescue center in Quezon City, Philippines (Sia Su et al 2013) despite the relative host specificity of many lice species. Though this is possible when wild birds are in contact with infested chickens since the degree of host specificity among lice is dictated by its ability to disperse among multiple host species (Brooke and Nakamura 1998). Furthermore, 3 lice species (L. caponis, G. dissimilis and M. gallinae)) observed in Tak Province, Thailand were also observed in the study area (Changbunjong et al 2009). We have identified C. columbae as main lice infesting rock pigeons and C. meleagridis infesting turkey. Their occurrence has also been reported in many parts of the world causing host debilitation (Galloway and Lamb 2015; Radfar et al 2011).
The identified lice from ruminants include D. caprae, D. ovis, H. tuberculatus, Linognathus spp. and H. spinigera. In the Philippines, other species of Damalinia was found to infest Philippine deer (Eduardo 2000) and H. tuberculatus usually infest carabao (Del Rosario and Manuel 1983). In terms of public health concern, a study conducted by Wolf (2010) showed that H. tuberculatus collected from carabao in Luzon was positive for Rickettsia felis, the causative agent of human spotted fever. We also recorded another sucking louse (Linognathus spp.) that infests goat. This ectoparasite morphologically differ from Haematopinus by the presence of smaller first pair of legs with stout claws compared to the second and third pairs (Wall and Shearer, 1997). The three known lice to infest dogs are Linognathus setosus, Trichodectes canis and H. spinigera. According to Thompson (1939), it is rare to find these 3 species co-occurring in one dog. However, there’s a great chance that the occurrence of H. spinigera in dogs in Southeast Asian countries will persist due to better lice adaptability, increase population of stray dogs, and pet popularity (Irwin and Jefferies 2004).
Two species of fleas were recorded in our study. We found C. felis in both dog and cat, and P. irritans in dogs. Dogs are not the common host of the two identified fleas. C. felis is more common in cat. Similarly, P. irritans (human flea) infest mainly pigs and jump to human in contact. Indeed, fleas are facultative parasites capable of infesting multiple host. A study in Israel showed that these two species could transmit zoonotic diseases such as Bartonella risking human having pet dogs (Sofer et al 2015). In fact, fleas are transmitter of numerous parasites, bacteria and virus to animals and humans (Bowman 2009).
In Southeast Asia, R. sanguineus and R. microplus are the most common ticks in dog and large ruminant, respectively (Changbunjong et al 2009). While in reptiles, Aponomma spp. has also been recorded some Asian countries (Petney et al 2007). Likewise, our study found these three species infesting dog, ruminant and reticulated python. In central Philippines, R. sanguineus and R. microplus were reported to carry zoonotic microorganisms (e.g. Anaplasma platys) (Ybañez et al 2012). Also, Aponomma spp. has been reported to transmit the pathogens Cowdria and Rickettsia, which causes Heartwater disease in ruminant and spotted fever in human, respectively (Burridge et al 2000).
The result of our study offers the first list of ectoparasite fauna in Baybay, Leyte, Philippines. Knowing their distribution and taxonomic composition means a better understanding in terms of diagnosis, prevention and control of vector and vector-borne diseases. Further studies are needed to evaluate their spatiotemporal pattern and analyse its direct impact to animals and human in remote and agricultural regions of the country.
We thank the owner of the animals and the clinicians/staff of the College of Veterinary Medicine, Visayas State University for the cooperation and assistance during the conduct of the study.

You may think that we have been left at home or stuffed in a box somewhere, but it is just that Dad hasn't seen fit to write any new posts for us. Bad Dad!
Well, HB, it has been a long time, but we have had many travels to Wales and elsewhere. Here we are in Llangoed Hall, an elegant hotel near Brecon in Wales.
Yes, we have been around a lot, but we have been stuffed in small suitcases, tucked away out of sight, and generally mistreated by our parental units.
Now, HB, you know that when we travel light on low-cost (read CHEAP) airlines there isn't much room.
My point exactly. Why don't we travel first class?
I suppose you have the cash to buy the tickets?
Well, . . . .
Yes, MY point exactly. We travel as well as our parental units, as you so elegantly put it.
Anyway, we really lucked into this first class hotel and Mom got us such a deal.
And the days in Bath (you need to BAAAHTH to be really posh) were memorable.

I've been kicking around a follow-up name to the "Busted in Bulgaria" album and it is possible that it could be "Busted in America." I imagine I'll put it out later this year.
That's all. Just thought this is relevant info since I am about freedom for the artist and it seems that the current situation in America and in a lot of places around the world for that matter is really not as free as one would think."

Builder: Frank Kurtis
Los Angeles-based race car manufacturer Frank Kurtis built this 1947 “Leader Card” midget for Robert Wilke, the Midwest distributor for Kurtis Kraft and Offenhauser engines. To enhance his car’s performance on longer tracks, Kurtis made a small number of modifications. He relocated the engine three inches forward from standard and also moved the rear radius rod pick-up forward. This car won the AAA Championships at Soldier Field in 1948 and set a track record in Langhorne, Pennsylvania at 101 miles per hour.

Kimye takes NYC! After hosting a listening party for his new album Jesus Is King in Detroit, Kanye West, Kim Kardashian and their kids headed to Queens, New York for another performance. The parents stepped out with three of their four children — North, Saint and Chicago — to enjoy the city and bring a taste of Sunday Service to attendees. Although their newborn son, Psalm, has not been seen in photos, we’re sure he’s not too far away.
The crowds have been loving what the 42-year-old rapper has brought to the table with his new album. “Sooo, I just left the listening party for #JesusIsKing & this is one of Kanye’s best albums … I’m so inspired #ye,” songwriter Alus tweeted about the show. Even Mariah Carey weighed in on the music. “This choir is killing this arrangement and song! I neeeed to speak to whoever put the arrangement together and rewrote the lyrics … Beautiful. Thank you Mariah Carey,” the songstress gushed on Twitter.
Besides the fans, the Kardashian-West family appears to be having a blast on this mini-tour. The 38-year-old Keeping Up With the Kardashians starlet shared a video of North, 6, singing her heart out during a rehearsal. She also posted a sweet photo of her and her hubby smooching on September 29 along the water.
Before launching a new album and traveling the country, the family took some much needed time off in Wyoming where they rode horses, bonded and had a relaxing time. It turns out, the KKW Beauty founder learned a lot of new things about her spouse of five years while on vacation. “Kim sees a completely different side to her husband when they spend time in Wyoming as a family. He’s much calmer,” an insider exclusively dished to Life & Style about the couple.
The trip had such an impact that they ended up buying a house in the beautiful state. “This wasn’t an impulse buy. Kanye waited until he found the perfect place,” the source added. “There are lots of farm animals roaming around. Saint and North are excited to horseback-ride!” Being somewhere a little more peaceful is good for the A-list duo in every aspect. The insider noted, “[They] realize there’s more to life than the glitz and glamour of Hollywood. Plus, they get along a million times better when they’re away from the chaos of L.A.!”
We can’t wait to see what Kimye does next. Keep scrolling to see photos of the family in NYC!

No matter what stage of life a child may be in, watching a parent struggle with addiction can be overwhelming, striking an array of emotions, including sadness, fear, frustration, confusion, and anger. Whether a young child, adolescent, teenager, or adult, seeing a parent battle with an addiction to drugs or alcohol can turn life upside down.
If you or a child you know have a parent dealing with substance abuse/addiction, it is critical that you find help and support for yourself through this process. Attempting to navigate through this journey alone can be a frightening experience, and finding support can offer the help you need to effectively cope.
Connecting to A Network of Support
Where can you turn to for help and support as a child whose mother or father is dealing with addiction? Thankfully, there are many resources available for children with addicted parents, and connecting to a network of support is always within reach.
Living in an environment in which one or both parents are addicted to drugs or alcohol can cause for turmoil and chaos in one’s surroundings. Many children who come from addicted homes may suffer with a variety of psychological and emotional symptoms, which can directly impact their life and ability to grow and thrive.
Education and Modeling Behavior for the Child
While many resources are available for children who are living in homes with addicted parents, support groups can be a place for solace, encouragement, and love. Many support groups led for children with addicted parents can also offer education and tools for how to positively cope through situations they may encounter.
Support groups can also help model a structure for the child that is possibly missing from within the home or family unit.
Support Groups Available to a Child of an Addicted Parent
The following are some support groups that may be helpful for a child with parents addicted to and/or recovering from substance abuse:
- Adult children of alcoholics (ACA)
- Confident Kids Support Groups
- Al-Anon Family Groups
- National Association for Children of Alcoholics
- Children of Addiction Support Groups
Children who live with addiction can experience tremendous benefits from being in a support group. If you know a child who is struggling as a result of having parents addicted to drugs and alcohol, consider reaching out to them and encouraging them to find a support group. Never underestimate the difference you can make in a child’s life, for today and their future.
Community Discussion – Share your thoughts here!
In what ways do you think a support group can help a child with addicted parents?

The National Security Advisory Board (NSAB) has been expanded with the induction of Amar Sinha, former Ambassador to Afghanistan and Tajikistan, and former IB chief Asif Ibrahim as its members. While former R&AW officer Tilak Deveshwar’s name was also said to be on the list, an official confirmation was awaited till the filing of this report.
Former Ambassador to Russia, P S Raghavan, who was inducted in June this year, will continue to head NSAB, officials said. The NSAB deals with internal and external security, foreign affairs, defence, science and technology and economic affairs and usually meets at least once a month. Former R&AW official A B Mathur, Lt Gen (retd) S L Narasimhan and Prof Bimal N Patel of Gujarat National Law University are the other members of the board.
Former Foreign Secretary Shyam Saran headed the previous NSAB, whose tenure ended in January 2015 and which had 14 members. The NDA government has significantly reduced the composition of the NSAB to just four members, including the Chairman. The NSAB is likely to have a two-year tenure.
Over the years, the NSAB has contributed a large number of studies on both current and long-term issues of strategic significance. It produced a Draft Nuclear Doctrine in 2001, a Strategic Defence Review in 2002 and a National Security Review in 2007. The first NSAB was set up in 1998 with K Subrahmanyam as its convener.

The National Security Council is the apex body in a three-tier structure, headed by the Prime Minister and with the National Security Adviser as its Secretary. The Strategic Policy Group which was earlier chaired by the Cabinet Secretary is now chaired by NSA Ajit Doval. This is the first expansion after Doval took charge of the SPG which consists of senior officials responsible for policy-making and for follow up action in matters concerning national security.
The SPG includes the Chiefs of the Armed Forces, Intelligence Bureau and the Research and Analysis Wing. Its main task is to make policy recommendations to the National Security Council. The NSAB consists of senior retired officials, academics and distinguished members of civil society having expertise in internal and external security, foreign affairs, defence, science and technology and economic affairs.

The TAC, with optional 90º or 180º profiles and gold plated contacts, secure a very high quality connection for your tone arm.
Five contacts with 24 carat gold plating over silver plating over copper plating. The contacts have a standard 270º / 5 pin DIN configuration.
The contacts are based on an adjustable Teflon disc which is able to cover any angle related to the connector housing. This way the optimal position towards the tone arm is always assured.
The 90º profile of the connector housing is designed to combine vertical mounting and horizontal cable exit. Additionally, both profiles offer enough room to have the cable wires pushed in after soldering.
The TAC is a perfect match for our tone arm cables D-501 HYBRID, D-501 SILVER HYBRID and, because of its special shape, the flat twin cable D-502 HYBRID.
Cable clamping is done by tightening the rear-nut of the 3 part construction of the connector housing. (If the TAC doesn’t fit in the tone arm socket… use sandpaper to slim the outer dimensions).
The color is black and the cable entrance dimensions are. 10.0 x 4.0 mm (w x h).
For optimal contact care we recommend our The SOLUTION contact fluid

RENAMING THE STREETS!
Walk a mile in a Brooklynite’s shoes, whether on brownstone-lined blocks or the streets filled with vinyl-sided houses, and you’re bound to notice address plates crowded with fractions. On Norman Avenue in Greenpoint, you’ll find three in one short stretch: 68½, 72½ and 78½.
When hailing an Uber, repeating street names might give you pause: Are you going to Washington Street in Dumbo or Washington Avenue in Clinton Hill?
Today’s Brooklyn map is a relic of a massive 19th-century project to renumber every building and rename dozens of streets — an example of how decisions made by bureaucrats can leave an imprint on urban life for decades or even centuries.
Suddenly, a Tale of One City
CHAOS: FOUR 1 FURMAN STREETS!
Brooklyn experienced unprecedented growth in the mid-1800s, years before Brooklyn became a borough of New York City, much of it driven by immigration: Irish fleeing famine; Germans fleeing political chaos. And when the City of Brooklyn annexed Williamsburg, Bushwick and Greenpoint — dubbed the “Eastern District” — in 1855, it became the third-largest city in the country.
That growth, paired with a city government that wasn’t adept at urban planning, led to incoherent street numbering schemes, and repeated names and numbers across Kings County. South Fourth Street had three buildings numbered 42, while Furman Street reportedly had no fewer than four No. 1s. Commuters would find one block called a street and the next an avenue for no discernible reason. Five presidents — Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison and Monroe — saw double duty.
The confusion about both street names and numbers was far from comical, as basic government services like mail delivery and police response suffered. The lack of attention and haphazard planning, which occurred disproportionately in poor areas, often Black and Irish neighborhoods, reflected who counted and who didn’t.
But as Brooklyn grew, even well-planned areas and the city’s business interests were affected by the duplications. City officials tried to solve these problems, but in the end, planners only managed to partly rationalize the system. The frustration was chronicled by the press under a kind of Victorian-era hashtag: “Renumbering the Streets.”
The streets saga stands as one of the few attempts in New York’s history to make such a sweeping change to the city’s layout — one that would eventually affect nearly every Brooklyn resident.
The Lains on the Evils of Haphazard Numbering
FORTY-FOUR DUPLICATE STREETS
George T. Lain was 23 when he took over publishing the Brooklyn City Directory in 1867. Lain & Company’s alphabetical guide listed residents’ names, addresses and occupations, a task that grew increasingly difficult the bigger and more disorganized the city became.
Mr. Lain inherited the problem of duplicate names and numbers from his father, Jonathan, whose prefaces to early 1860s directories contained fiery admonitions against the evils of haphazard numbering.
In 1868, with his penchant for numerical precision, Mr. Lain informed readers of The Brooklyn Daily Eagle newspaper that there were “forty-four instances where the streets have duplicate names; five cases where the street name occurs three times; and three instances where the same name for a street occurs four times.”
Where the Streets Have No Number
What Mr. Lain didn’t mention was that in predominantly Black neighborhoods, street numbers sometimes didn’t even exist. Maps of the Black community of Weeksville, for example, showed “No official numbers” for important thoroughfares like Hunterfly Road, and the areas often weren’t included in city directories.
All in all, by the 1860s, Brooklyn residents were at a breaking point.
On Feb. 7, 1867, The Eagle reported that the police had responded to a complaint that Mrs. Chadwick of 5 Willow Street had thrown scalding water on the young child of Mrs. Connor, her neighbor.
Four days later, The Eagle published a letter from Nicholas Espenscheid, the owner of a hat store in Manhattan, who wrote that he lived at 5 Willow Street and that no such incident had happened.
Mr. Espenscheid suggested that 5 Willow Place was the scene of disorder: “Please inform those who do not know that No. 5 Willow Street and No. 5 Willow Place are not in the same neighborhood.”
It appeared that the well-to-do merchant was annoyed about having his house in the tony end of Brooklyn Heights mistaken for one in the working-class end.
Two days later, The Eagle published another letter, this one from M. Whelan of 5 Willow Place, who wrote, “relative to the child scalding affray which you say occurred at No. 5 Willow Place, which is not the case.”
In fact, the Eagle’s story was correct. The scalding incident did occur at 5 Willow Street. The problem, which the editor could explain but not fix, was that two houses were designated as 5 Willow Street: one just south of Brooklyn Heights, where the incident occurred, and the other farther north in Brooklyn Heights, where Mr. Espenscheid lived.
Bad Numbers Were Bad for Business
‘ANNOYANCE TO VISITORS’
In 1865, Thomas Shearman, a lumberyard owner in South Brooklyn (the neighborhood name used at the time for the area south of Brooklyn Heights), wrote to The Eagle complaining about similar confusions. He said his house, 299 Hicks Street, had the same number as another building on Hicks Street just a few blocks away.
“The annoyance to visitors, expressmen and letter carriers is some,” Mr. Shearman wrote, “leaving my own feelings out of the question.”
Left unsaid, but perhaps a bigger cause of dismay than errant deliveries, was that the other No. 299 was the home of John Bracken’s liquor saloon, which had a boarding house on its upper floors that catered to sailors and dockworkers.
For Mr. Lain, the directory compiler, his reputation was tied to a useful guide, which depended on accurate addresses.
Bad numbers were bad for business.
A ‘large force of men’ of dubious utility
REPUTATION FOR CRONYISM
By the time Mr. Lain had written a series of letters to the editors of various local papers in the late 1860s, exhorting Brooklyn to fix the addresses, political leaders were beginning to act.
Hugh McLaughlin, Brooklyn’s leading local legislator, set up the Renumbering Committee of Brooklyn’s Common Council in 1865. It, in turn, organized a bureau for Renaming and Renumbering Streets, which was tasked with devising and executing a plan to eliminate duplicate street names and assign unique building and lot numbers.
“Although we have the finest city in the world,” Mr. McLaughlin said, “its streets are the worst arranged and numbered of any in the country.”
Mr. McLaughlin had a reputation for cronyism, however, and the renumbering bureau reportedly squandered its initial $10,000 budget by outfitting its office with expensive furniture and adding to the payroll a “large force of men” of dubious utility, according to The Eagle.
Accomplished Little, Then Disbanded
The bureau accomplished little before being disbanded just under a year later, in 1866, but it did manage to propose several numbering schemes. However, Mayor Martin Kalbfleisch of Brooklyn vetoed each proposal because he thought Mr. McLaughlin was spending too much money.
In The Eagle, Mr. Lain urged the city to “let the committee go on, whether the grumblers like or dislike it.”
Then, in 1869, the Renumbering Committee came up with a plan to renumber each block in ascending order, eliminate duplicate numbers and fractional numbers, and reserve an adequate store of numbers for empty lots. The plan was simple in theory but an enormous undertaking: Almost every building would see its number change.
The committee also finalized a list of 75 streets whose names would change.
The city hired Richard Toombs, a surveyor, to create a series of maps that would show every block in Brooklyn with the new numbers and names.
THE BIG DAY ARRIVES
TOOMBS THE ENUMERATOR
The 1870 rollout of the numbering scheme was no less chaotic than the years spent complaining, arguing, planning and backtracking.
City officials initially made no announcement about when or how renumbering would take place, but a trickle of news reports that spring suggested implementation was imminent. Some reports referred to a July 4 deadline, yet daily news bulletins on the renumbering made clear that only a few residents had complied by then.
Part of the problem was that the plan required each building owner to go to City Hall (now Borough Hall) with a tax bill and obtain the new number by finding it on the maps made by Mr. Toombs. The tax assessors, however, wanted nothing to do with the process, so the city set up Mr. Toombs himself in the tax office in City Hall to distribute the numbers.
The city eventually placed ads explaining the process in local papers in the second half of July. The press reported status updates weekly from Mr. Toombs on how many residents had obtained new numbers, giving “Toombs the Enumerator” more than his 15 minutes of fame as the public face of the renumbering affair.
John Stanton, writing under the pen name “Corry O’Lanus” in The Eagle, had dryly suggested two years earlier that Brooklyn should roll out the new addresses by notifying the public “to bring their front doors up to the City Hall and have the numbers chalked on them.”
Little did Mr. Stanton know that his satire was not much more ridiculous than the reality. Forcing tens of thousands of building owners to visit one small office in City Hall caused long lines down the block for much of July.
Complaints poured into the papers throughout the summer: the lines were too long; the office’s employees were too surly.
With compliance lagging, the city moved the deadline to Oct. 1. Yet the process lingered into the spring of 1871, when Mr. Lain published the first version of his Brooklyn City Directory containing the new building numbers.
Seemingly, the only Brooklynites happy with the renumbering were the silver engravers, who promptly took out ads hawking new number plates and the exchange of old ones.
Brooklyn’s 21st–Century Destiny
TOOMBS MAPS LOST!
This piece of Brooklyn’s history was not well recorded, and without any collective memory of the process, geohistorians and homeowners alike are often vexed when tracing building histories.
The Toombs maps — the Rosetta Stone to link the previous numbers to the current numbers — appear to have been lost. Today, there is no clear record of every pre-1870 building number.
About five years ago, the owner of 307 Henry Street in Brooklyn Heights painted the name “Creighton” on the house’s transom. The signage commemorates James Creighton, the star pitcher of Brooklyn’s Excelsior Base Ball Club in the 1860s, who was known for his fast-pitch technique.
Mr. Creighton’s style was so unorthodox that some baseball aficionados believe it caused the abdominal hernia that suddenly killed him in 1862 at age 21. Newspapers widely covered the story of his death in his home, at 307 Henry Street, just four days after the injury.
The problem with the transom painting is that Mr. Creighton did not die in the Brooklyn Heights house, but in a house several blocks away in Cobble Hill. Today, Mr. Creighton’s former house is No. 461; the address was changed in 1870.
And because Brooklyn never really solved the problem of how to reserve enough whole-number addresses on each block to accommodate future construction, fractional numbers returned on many streets after the renumbering. Today, Brooklyn has the most addresses that end in “A” or “½” of New York City’s five boroughs, according to PLUTO, the city’s land use and geographic database.
Brooklyn’s new 19th-century names and numbers also didn’t change the 20th-century destiny of some of its neighborhoods. Weeksville, which never had all of its streets numbered, faded into the cityscape of Crown Heights until some of its buildings were rediscovered in the 1960s.

Jeremy Lechtzin writes about Brooklyn’s buildings and streets. His house was renumbered to 58, from 48, in1870.
