Chronic Kidney Disease
Assignment Description: Must contain less than a 20 percent turnitin score.
I will place these on index cards after this paper is written.
Multiple Organ Failure (MOF) generally results from an infection, injury (surgical or accidental), or reduced blood flow which causes an uncontrolled inflammatory response. Identification and consideration to determine the underlying cause of MOF is essential. Though illness or injury may create multisystem issues and may impact many body systems, for this assignment focus on these three body systems:
For this assignment, create index cards for nursing staff education and discuss a specific illness, disorder or disease and the interrelationship with the renal, pulmonary, and circulatory systems, specifically identifying and describing how an alteration in one system may affect one or more of other two body systems. Furthermore, explain how the body tries maintaining homeostasis and compensate for organ failure with assistance or reliance on another body system.
• There should be at least 5 cards with 50 words on each that describe the illness, disorder or disease selected
• There should be at least 5 cards with 50 words on each that describe how the body compensates for organ failure with assistance or reliance on another body system
• There should be at least 5 cards with 50 words on each that Identify & clarify how an alternation in one system impact the other two systems
• There should be at least 5 cards with 50 words on each that characterize the interrelationship with the renal, pulmonary, and circulatory systems
Please make sure to include an introduction card and a conclusion card of at least 50 words each to present to the other nurses in this class.
Chronic Kidney Disease
Chronic kidney disease arises from various disease pathways that alter the functions and structure of the kidney irreversibly for a period of time. The overall Kidney function is best indicated by the Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR), which is equal to the total fluid filtered per unit a time through all the functioning nephrons. Therefore, chronic kidney disease is defined as decreased kidney function shown by markers of kidney damage or a GFR of less than 60 mL/min per 1·73 m² or both for at least three months (Webster et al., 2017). This disease is chronic as it affects patients over a long period and in stages. It is characterized by persistent renal damage and loss of renal function. Diabetes and hypertension are the leading cause of chronic kidney disease in developed and developing countries. However, other causes such as glomerulonephritis, environmental exposures (such as air pollution and herbal remedies), and infection are common in sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, and many developing countries (Chen et al., 2019). Genetic risks such as sickle cell trait could also be a contributing factor. According to Chen et al. (2019), chronic kidney disease affects about 8% to 16% of the population worldwide. Therefore, clinical physicians need to detect this disease early because as it progresses, it can cause end-stage kidney disease, cardiovascular disease, and even death. In 2012 kidney disease caused 1.5% of deaths worldwide and was ranked fourteenth on the top list of deaths Webster et al. (2017).
Chronic kidney disease can be detected through urine studies, routine screening with serum chemistry profile, or an incidental finding (Chen et al., 2019). Patients may sometimes present symptoms such as gross hematuria, flank pain, or decreased urine output. However, in more advanced kidney disease, patients report fatigue, metallic taste, nausea, vomiting, peripheral edema, and changes in mental status. Therefore, when evaluating a patient with known or suspected kidney disease, physicians should do a thorough follow-up and check for hemoptysis, rash, neuropathy, or urinary obstruction symptoms. Moreover, patients should be assessed on any prior exposure to potential nephrotoxins (such as antibiotic therapies such as gentamicin and chemotherapies), history of recurrent urinary tract infections, hypertension, diabetes, or history of family kidney disease. For one to be diagnosed with kidney disease, the GFR should show less than 60 mL/min per 1·73 m² for at least three months.
Nevertheless, in some instances, the duration of the kidney disease is unclear. In such circumstances, a series of assessments should be performed to distinguish CDK from acute kidney injury, which is the change of kidney function for 2- 7 days, and acute kidney disease, which is decreased kidney function occurring for less than three months (Chen et al., 2019). Chronic kidney disease will progress to the end-stage without treatment, but the discovery of early new surrogate markers such as neutrophil gelatinase-associate protein, apolipoprotein A-IV, kidney injury molecule-1, and soluble urokinase receptor may allow potential intervention and treatment (Zhong et al., 2017). The progression rate of CKD varies according to individual.
Organs in the human body have different roles, but they work together to keep the human body at equilibrium. This organ may fail due to a disorder or an illness causing multiple organ failures. However, in this study, the focus is on the effects of chronic kidney disease on the circulatory and pulmonary systems. The circulatory system consists of the heart, blood vessels, and blood. When the blood pressure is too low, healthy kidneys release renin which stimulates hormones that increase blood pressure. Damaged kidneys release too much renin, which causes very high blood pressure, which could lead to a heart attack or a stroke. Another significant effect on the circulatory system is fluid build-up in the heart and increased potassium levels. Kidneys are responsible for regulating fluid balance in the body and maintaining conducive potassium levels. If the kidneys fail to maintain fluid balance, the excess fluid will build up in the heart, increasing the heart's workload.
Moreover, failed kidneys will not regulate potassium levels, which are harmful to the heart. Besides heart failure, kidney failure could cause dangerous heart inflammations (“renal failure and its effect on the cardiovascular system," 2011). Kidneys are the body's waste collectors, and when they fail, waste builds up in the blood. Dietary protein breakdown causes the formation of urea which is referred to as uremia when in large quantities. Uremia means that there is urine in the blood, which causes heart inflammations on the outer layer. Additionally, when the kidneys are not working correctly, more stress is put on the heart as it has to pump harder to get enough blood to the kidneys. The circulatory system and the renal system have to work together to ensure proper blood flow.
The renal and pulmonary systems work together to regulate acid-base equilibrium, control blood pressure and fluid homeostasis, and modify partial pressure of carbon dioxide and bicarbonate concentration (Visconti et al., 2016). Chronic kidney disease causes pulmonary edema. Pulmonary edema is a condition caused by fluid accumulation around the lungs. As earlier discussed, the kidneys are responsible for fluid regulation in the body, and damaged kidneys cannot regulate body fluids which causes accumulation around the lungs and other body organs. Alteration of the renal system can cause severe damage to the circulatory and pulmonary systems. Kidneys are body cleaners, and damaged kidneys can lead to toxicity in the body. Accumulation of harmful toxins in the body causes damage to the organs. In this study, kidney failure causes heart inflammation, hypertension, and pulmonary edema. The circulatory and pulmonary systems depend on the renal system to function correctly.
Body organs work together to maintain a better internal environment. The endocrine and nervous system regulates them. The nervous system virtually controls all the body's activities while the endocrine secrets hormones which regulate these activities. The process of maintaining a balanced internal environment is known as homeostasis. The kidneys are responsible for maintaining this balance by regulating body fluids, ions, and other body substances by excreting the excess in the form of urine. The kidneys work together with other systems to maintain homeostasis; for instance, they work together with the circulatory system to filter blood and the urinary system to remove excess waste. Kidneys also release hormones that help maintain homeostasis, such as erythropoietin, which stimulates the bone marrow to produce more red blood cells whenever needed (“CK-12 Foundation,” 2018). They also release calcitriol which helps maintain calcium levels for the bones since it is an active form of vitamin D and renin to regulate the blood pressure. The renal system plays a vital role in the body. However, renal failure is a condition that affects the renal system, and the body has to maintain its equilibrium despite the mal-functioning of the renal system. The attempt of the body to maintain equilibrium is referred to as compensation. Whenever one system fails, the body finds other ways to maintain balance; for instance, according to an article on homeostasis (2018), the respiratory system can help maintain balance by removing excess carbon dioxide through faster breathing. The endocrine system also releases insulin from the pancreas when the blood sugar is high. The insulin absorbs excess sugars from the blood. When the kidneys are not completely damaged, the working part works extra hard to maintain the required balance. For the patients whose kidneys are severely damaged, dialysis is performed (cleaning the blood using machines). However, if there are no improvements after the treatments processes, a transplant is recommended.
Systems in the human body work together under the nervous system's control. Despite having different roles in the body, all organs must work together to ensure equilibrium in the internal environment. As earlier seen, the kidneys clean up the blood for the heart to pump and boost the heart's pressure by secreting renin. The heart also pumps blood to the kidney to function correctly. The kidneys also regulate fluid balance, ensuring that the lungs are fluid-free for better functioning, ensuring that the body has enough oxygen and excess carbon dioxide is exhaled. Proper aeration of the blood and body ensures that blood taken to the kidneys is clean, enhancing the kidneys. Failure of one system can lead to life-long illness and suffering for the individual. As discussed, renal failure has severe effects on other systems, such as the circulatory and pulmonary systems, which are essential in the body. Therefore, individuals should take care of their bodies by maintaining a healthy environment.

Airport to ditch 'naked' scanners
Monday 17 September 2012
Controversial “naked” security scanners are to be ditched by airport bosses.
The machines at Manchester Airport invaded passenger privacy, according to critics, by giving graphic X-ray style images.
But a trial of their use comes to an end next month and they will be replaced by five next generation "privacy friendly" scanners thanks to EU rules.
The new scanners include a feature which automatically processes images of passengers using a system that eliminates the need for a security officer to view the ghost-like X-ray body outlines that sparked the controversy.
The new machines instead scan passengers using radio frequency-based millimetre wave technology rather than the low dose X-rays used by the current body scanners.
A computer then analyses the scans and alerts airport staff where to look for hidden objects using a stick figure diagram.
Despite a panel of independent European health experts unanimously concluding in March that there was no evidence that the current X-ray body scanners posed health risks, airport bosses said the current trial of those machines will end in six weeks because legislation from Brussels now excludes the technology.
"We're baffled by this situation because health experts say they are safe plus the overwhelming majority of our passengers and security staff prefer body scanners to frisking and it's frustrating that Brussels has allowed this successful trial to end", said Andrew Harrison, chief operating officer at MAG, Manchester Airport's parent company.
"Our security surveys and those run by the Department for Transport show passengers regularly rate their experience at Manchester as one of the best security processes in the UK if not Europe.
"There's no doubt that body scanners play a big part in these results. That's why we are once again investing in new next generation scanner technology where the human examination of images is automated."
Five new security scanners in total will start to be installed across all three terminals and transfer lounges at Manchester Airport from October 1, in a trial expected to last three months.
In the meantime, an additional 55 full-time security staff have been employed.

Padres’ streak reaches four with loss to Marlins
Padres fall behind early, lose to team with the the National League’s worst record
The road trip that seems so important in determining how the Padres finish the season did not start well.
They were simply outslugged by the Marlins in a 12-7 rout Tuesday night.
“Definitely not the plan,” Padres manager Andy Green said. “… It’s a painful hole to have dug in the first game of a series after an off day after a tough series.”
The rookie starting pitchers for both teams got hit hard and were teetering early.
Padres left-hander Logan Allen was knocked out after 2 1/3 innings, having allowed seven hits and seven runs. Marlins righty Jordan Yamamoto was allowed off the ropes and lasted five innings to get the decision.
The Padres’ season is breaking bad because they can’t beat bad teams often enough.
In a season largely characterized by the excitement of so much progress, the Padres are the ones who look worse when playing the worst.
Tuesday’s loss dropped them to 19-27 against teams with losing records. Having been swept by the Pirates in late June and the Giants at the start of this month, the Padres have lost seven of their past nine against sub-.500 teams. They are 1-4 this season against the Marlins, who own the National League’s worst record.
The Padres are 26-22 against teams that are .500 or better, including the three-game sweep by the Braves that preceded this trip.
The major league season has 162 games, because baseball’s various intricacies make it possible for a last-place team to beat the eventual World Series champion on occasion. But over the course of six months and multiple meetings, the pretenders are amply exposed.
No team currently possessing a winning record has lost more than it has won against teams with losing records. Many of the teams ahead of them in the standings are nowhere near as good as the Padres when facing winning teams.
Having fallen four games under .500 for the first time this season, the Padres appear to be running away from contention.
It certainly seems more pertinent that a Giants victory on Tuesday dropped the Padres into last place in the NL West than the fact they are technically in the wild card race.
“I know we’ve got to go out and win these games,” Green said. “We’ve got to win them consistently.”
Their hope now lies in Chris Paddack and Dinelson Lamet.
“We like who we have on the mound tomorrow, we like who we have on the mound the next day,” Green said. “Those will be big games for us to come out and win.”
They hardly had a chance Tuesday.
Allen allowed three runs in a span of six pitches in the first inning. The Padres tied the game in the top of the second. The Marlins scored four more times in the bottom of the second.
“The attitude, the fight in the dugout was there,” Green said. “The desire to get back on top (was) everything you could ask for. Sometimes you put big a hole out there, it’s tough to come back from.”
After that initial rebound in the second, having driven Yamamoto up to 51 pitches to that point, the Padres hit some balls hard but went down relatively meekly.
Beginning with Josh Naylor grounding into a double play in the third inning, after Manny Machado’s lead-off walk and Hunter Renfroe’s single, Yamamoto (4-0) set down the final eight batters he faced.
“You look at one pitch that gets a guy off the hook,” Green said. “It happens all the time. Guys take a deep breath, find their footing. We were looking for that from Logan. He wasn’t able to make a pitch to get to that point. That double play ball settled (Yamamoto) in. He located pretty well after that.”
Elieser Hernandez replaced Yamamoto and pitched a perfect sixth and got the first out of the seventh before Manuel Margot’s home run made it 11-4.
Franmil Reyes’ pinch-hit homer and back-to-back doubles by Eric Hosmer and Machado in the ninth inning made the final margin seem more respectable than the game actually played out.
Allen (2-2) had put the Padres in a hole that required more dynamite than that to escape.
Making his first start since July 1 and pitching for the first time since an inning of relief on July 4, Allen got an out to start the bottom of the first. In six pitches, he had sustained his first cut of the night.
Harold Ramirez doubled on the first pitch he saw from Allen, who then walked Garrett Cooper on four fastballs that didn’t find the zone. Brian Anderson then launched a slider 440 feet and over the wall in left-center field.
“Obviously I had some rust since the last time I pitched,” Allen said. “But it was terrible. The command wasn’t there. I was battling from pitch one. It was terrible. I let the team down. … I didn’t give us a chance to really even stay in the game.”
The Padres ascension from that initial deficit came on singles by Renfroe and Naylor and a walk by Francisco Mejia that loaded the bases before an out was made in the second inning. Ian Kinsler poked a single through the right side to score Renfroe. Naylor was initially stopped at third, but he sprinted home when Anderson’s throw got past catcher Jorge Alfaro. Margot’s groundout to shortstop tied the game.
But a walk, single, sacrifice bunt and another walk loaded the bases for the Marlins in the bottom of the second.
Allen should have gotten the second out of the inning on Ramirez’s line drive to right field that followed, but Naylor ran in before retreating making a futile leap as what would be a two-run double sailed past him. Cooper added on with a single ripped to right field that pushed the lead to 7-3.
Allen got out of that inning before successive one-out singles in the third brought Green from the dugout to take the ball.
Luis Perdomo stranded both runners and pitched a scoreless fourth and fifth before getting in trouble in the sixth. Gerardo Reyes replaced Perdomo, walked the first batter he faced and then left a fastball up on the outside edge that Starlin Castro lined to the gap in right field. Naylor’s poor angle to that ball gave him no chance, and three runs scored to make it 11-4.
Cooper’s homer off Robbie Erlin in the eighth made it 12-4.
“It’s rough,” Hosmer said. “We responded well as an offense. Just couldn’t get anything going in the middle of the game. It’s difficult. You want to come out after the off-day and get rolling. Just couldn’t get it going tonight, and those guys swung the bat well.”

Lincoln City stormed into The Emirates FA Cup fifth round proper on Saturday, as they toppled Championship leaders Brighton & Hove Albion at Sincil Bank.
The National League side, fresh from their third round replay victory over Ipswich Town, ensured they will be in Monday’s draw for the last-16, after a 3-1 victory over Chris Hughton’s team.

It had looked as though things were going the Seagulls’ way in the first half when Richie Towell put them ahead.
But Danny Cowell’s side bounced back after the break as a penalty from Alan Power brought them level before on-loan Chelsea defender Fikayi Tomori turned home an own-goal on his debut to put the non-League team in front.
The Imps weren’t finished there either, as they made it a more comfortable last few minutes for their fans when Theo Robinson completed the scoring in the 85th minute.
Elsewhere, there was late heartbreak for Wycombe Wanderers at White Hart Lane, as the League Two side were seconds away from taking Tottenham Hotspur to a replay.
Gareth Ainsworth’s men made a stunning start to the game by taking a two-goal lead in the first half thanks to a double from Paul Hayes, with his second coming from the penalty spot.
Heung-Min Son reduced the arrears on the hour mark before Vincent Janssen brought them back level from the spot four minutes later.
Wycombe weren’t finished though as they edged back ahead through Garry Thompson’s 83rd-minute goal.
But when Dele Alli came off the bench to add an equaliser in the 89th minute, the Chairboys thought they’d done enough to take Mauricio Pochettino’s team back to Adams Park for a replay, only for Son to pop up in the 97th minute to steal a late winner and end a thrilling game.
Oxford United provided another Cup upset at the Kassam Stadium, as they comfortably saw off Championship high-fliers Newcastle United by 3-0.
After a goal-less first half, the hosts took less than a minute to open the scoring after the break through Kane Hemmings.
The Magpies spurned an opportunity to level things up soon after when Aleksandar Mitrovic missed a penalty, before further strikes from Curtis Nelson and debutant Toni Martinez completed the scoring to send Michael Appleton's League One side into the hat for the next stage.
Manchester City’s FA Cup record in the capital remains impressive this term, as goals from Raheem Sterling, Leroy Sane and Yaya Toure saw them beat Crystal Palace by 3-0 at Selhurst Park, after Pep Guardiola's side previously knocked West Ham United out at the London Stadium in the third round.
There was to be no upset in west London either, as Chelsea ran out comfortable 4-0 winners over near-neighbours Brentford.
An early goal from Willian kicked things off before Pedro doubled their advantage with just over 20 minutes on the clock. Further goals from Branislav Ivanovich and Michy Batshuayi in the second half concluded a comprehensive win for Antonio Conte’s men.
It wasn’t quite so one-sided at the Riverside Stadium, where Middlesbrough had to settle for a 1-0 scoreline against League Two's Accrington Stanley. It took a strike from Stewart Downing in the 69th minute to see Aitor Karanka’s side into the fifth round.
Burnley were also made to work hard for their 2-0 victory by Bristol City at Turf Moor. The Championship side made the trip north following a poor run of form in the league and provided a stern test for Sean Dyche’s side.
But a Sam Vokes goal, his 50th for the Clarets, just before the break and a strike from Steven Defour in the 68th minute proved to be enough to send them into the last 16.
And just nine miles down the road from Turf Moor, Blackburn Rovers were comfortable winners in their Lancashire derby against Blackpool and former boss Gary Bowyer.
An early goal from Sam Gallagher set Rovers on their way before a 30-yard stunner from Elliott Bennett doubled the advantage in the first half to seal progress for the Championship outfit.
Finally, Huddersfield Town made the short trip across the Pennines to Rochdale and comfortably avoided an upset, as goals from debutant Collin Quaner, Izzy Brown and a brace from Michael Hefele secured a 4-0 win at Spotland.
Monday’s fifth round proper draw takes place on Monday 30 January, live on the BBC’s One Show.

“Everybody, who understands this love-binding kind of music, has to live the urban movement behind it, the culture that brings people of all kinds together.”
We have a very special mix waiting for you, made by a highly skilled German DJ/producer. His name is Sidney Charles, and at the age of twenty-something he already looks into uncountable happy faces when he enters the DJ booth. He is not a musician, nor a percussionist. He is a collector. A collector of culture and experiences. The energy and feeling around his collection of music is what makes the difference and letting Sidney Charles not be one of many, but one of those special few. “Everybody, who understands this love-binding kind of music, has to live the urban movement behind it, the culture that brings people of all kinds together.” Exactly these motions are fascinating the young man, born as Sidney Charles Hurricane Vieljans in Hamburg.
At the age of 15, Sidney Charles discovered the magic of the two black discs spinning on his Technics 1210’s.
At the beginning Hip Hop, Soul, Funk, Breakbeat and Turntablism was Sidney´s medium to express his emotions. Highly delighted and inspirited by the time of late 80s and early 90`s, when the movement, accompanied by young culture began, Sidney Charles was finding the higher BPM-numbers of House & Techno were leading to even more inspiration and happiness. And so it began. His sound has brought him all across Europe, Russia and even Argentina. Production-wise there are a lot of promosing signs as well, since he already has quite some EPs and remixes under his belt for imprints such as Material, JEUDI Records, Suara and VIVa MUSIC Limited.
We’re happy to announce Sidney will be visiting Amsterdam on February 15th, when he will be playing at the magical Wonderland Festival, hosted by Verknipt and Deep House Amsterdam. It will be a crazy thrill-ride where nothing is what it seems, and everything is possible. Catch Sidney next to artists such as Darius Syrrosian, Karmon, DJ Tapesh, Marco Bailey, Tommy Four Seven and many many others. See it for yourself!

The Danish Pastry House did an outstanding job catering our executive meeting. Their suggestion to use one of their signature pastries (the Kringle) as a centrepiece, was a great decision! Feedback from attendees was extremely positive - everyone was stunned to learn that such fresh, artisanal, and high-quality pastries were made locally in Port Credit. I highly recommend The Danish Pastry House!
When I saw the pictures, I had to try them. The flakey texture and unbelievable flavour and variety of these products has enlightened me as to what true Danish pastries should be. It's so much fun to stop in to the Danish Pastry House and buy tons of these great pastries to give to all of my friends to get hooked on them too.
Just a note to let you know how absolutely wonderful your pastry is! We picked some up this past weekend, still warm from the oven, and our chef friend commented that it rivals pastry he has had in Japan. My husband and I were fortunate enough to live in Paris for a while, and it is hard to top the wonderful pastry we had there & but yours certainly brings back fond memories! How wonderful to have such a quality product, so close to home. Many thanks.
I waited months for the "The Danish Pastry House" to open, thinking I will truly enjoy a piece of my Danish heritage in Port Credit. I was not disappointed when it finally opened!

Early afternoon on Saturday May 30 protesters gathered again at Chapman Square in downtown Portland. For the second day in a row people amassed in honor of George Floyd who died in police custody on May 26.
Organizers spoke to crowds through megaphones and people marched with signs to the Multnomah County Justice Center.
Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler enacted a curfew of 8 p.m., though the Police declared the gathering an unlawful assembly by 6:45pm and promptly dispersed the crowd with tear gas canisters and mace. By 7:15 p.m. they announced that Chapman Square was closed and ordered all persons to disperse.
Smaller groups then broke off and continued skirmishes with police throughout the evening. At least 48 people were arrested.

Kelly Holmes, the double Olympic champion, today announced her retirement from athletics.
Holmes wanted to bow out in style at next year’s Commonwealth Games but has called time on her glorious career.
The 35-year-old former army sergeant revealed at a press conference she had been badly affected by the death of a man she met while visiting her physiotherapist in Ireland.
She admitted she lacked the motivation to continue in the sport after winning gold in the 800 metres and 1,500m in Athens last year.
Holmes met the man while she was having physio with Gerard Hartmann in Ireland but was stunned to learn soon afterwards he had been given four weeks to live.
This changed the athlete’s outlook and she confirmed she had achieved…

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Lucasbfrbot at 14:59, 20 February 2010 (Replaced File:Bjarmaland, Carta Marina.jpg by its duplicate on Commons File:Bjarmaland,Carta Marina.jpg). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the .
Bjarmaland (also spelled Bjarmland or Bjarmia) was a territory mentioned in Norse sagas up to the Viking Age — and beyond. The term may have referred to the south shores of the White Sea and the basin of the Northern Dvina River. Today, these areas comprise the Arkhangelsk Oblast of Russia.
It is assumed that the name is derived from a Fenno-Ugric word perm which meant "travelling merchants". However, some linguists consider this theory to be speculative. Bjarmian trade reached south-east to Bulgar at the Volga where they also interacted with Scandinavians, who came from the Baltic Sea.
The name Bjarmaland appears in old Norse literature, possible for the area where Arkhangelsk is presently situated, and where it was preceded by a Bjarmian settlement. The first appearance of the name is in the Voyage of Ohthere, which was undertaken ca 890. According to Ohthere, it was the first Scandinavian voyage to the Bjarmians, but this information is not reliable.
The place-name was also used later both by the German historian Adam of Bremen (11th century) and the Icelander Snorri Sturluson (1179-1241) in Bósa saga ok Herrauðs, reporting about its rivers flowing out to Gandvik. It's not clear if they reference the same Bjarmaland as was mentioned in the Voyage of Ohthere, however. Bjarmian god Jomali  is Finnic but the description of the god is more Siberian, especially the crown adorned with twelve stars in gold, characteristic to Siberian shaman caps.
According to the saga about the Voyage of Ohthere, the Norwegian merchant Ottar (Ohthere) reported to king Alfred the Great that he had sailed for several days along the northern coast and then southwards, finally arriving at a great river, probably the Northern Dvina. At the estuary of the river dwelt the Beormas, who unlike the nomadic Sami peoples were sedentary, and their land was rich and populous. Ohthere did not know their language but he said that it resembled the language of the Sami people. The Bjarmians told Ohthere about their country and other countries that bordered it.
The best known expedition was that of Tore Hund (Tore Dog) who together with some friends, arrived in Bjarmaland in 1026. They started to trade with the inhabitants and bought a great many pelts, whereupon they pretended to leave. Later, they made shore in secret, and plundered the burial site, where the Bjarmians had erected an idol of their god Jomali. This god had a bowl containing silver on his knees, and a valuable chain around his neck. Tore and his men managed to escape from the pursuing Bjarmians with their rich booty.
Modern historians suppose that the wealth of the Bjarmians was due to their profitable trade along the Dvina, the Kama River and the Volga to Bolghar and other trading settlements in the south. Along this route, silver coins and other merchandise were exchanged for pelts and walrus tusks brought by the Bjarmians. Further north, the Bjarmians traded with the Sami who are said to have been tributaries to the Bjarmians.
It seems that the Scandinavians made some use of the Dvina trade route, in addition to the Volga trade route and Dnieper trade route. In 1217, two Norwegian traders arrived in Bjarmaland to buy pelts; one of the traders continued further south to pass to Russia in order to arrive in the Holy Land, where he intended to take part in the Crusades. The second trader who remained was, however, killed by the Bjarmians. This caused Norwegian officials to undertake a campaign of retribution into Bjarmaland which they pillaged in 1222.
The 13th century seems to have seen the decline of the Bjarmians, who became tributaries of the Novgorod Republic. While many Slavs fled the Mongol invasion northward, to Beloozero and Bjarmaland, the displaced Bjarmians sought refuge in Norway, where they were given land in Malangen, by Haakon IV of Norway, in 1240. More important for the decline was probably that, with the onset of the Crusades, the trade routes had found a more westerly orientation or shifted considerably to the south.
When the Novgorodians founded Velikiy Ustiug, in the beginning of the 13th century, the Bjarmians had a serious competitor for the trade. More and more Pomors arrived in the area during the 14th and 15th centuries, which led to the final subjugation and assimilation of the Bjarmians by the Slavs.

text: The metal recycling processes in the waste printed circuit boards (WPCBs) are mainly pyrometallurgy and hydrometallurgy, whereas hydrometallurgy is considered as an efficient but less environmentally friendly process. In this study, a green amino acid, glycine, was used to replace traditional inorganic acids to extract Cu from WPCBs by investigating the effects of temperature, H2O2 volume, solid-liquid ratio and glycine concentration on Cu leaching efficiency. The kinetics and thermodynamics of the leaching process were also studied. The maximum leaching efficiency is up to 94.08% when the temperature is 30 degrees C, initial H2O2 volume is 10%, the solid-liquid ratio is 1:100 and the initial glycine concentration is 1 mol/L. After leaching, sky blue crystal, cupric-glycinate, could obtain by adding absolute ethyl alcohol. The leaching process is controlled by diffusion and chemical reactions. All these results show that the green glycine could successfully replace traditional inorganic acids to extract Cu from WPCBs, providing a feasible and perspective future for industrial application.

At ceremonies held May 9th at the U.S. Capitol, members of Congress, labor leaders, representatives of the Vietnamese community, and human rights activists reaffirmed their support for the non-violent movement for human rights in Vietnam.
On May 11th, 1990, a Vietnamese physician, Dr. Nguyen Dan Que published a call for peaceful opposition to Vietnam's Communist government. For this, Dr. Que was sentenced to twenty years in prison. He was released in September 1998, on condition that he leave Vietnam. This he refused to do. In March 2003, Dr. Que was arrested again and is still being held virtually incommunicado.
Dr. Que is not the only victim of Vietnam's repressive state apparatus. Human rights activist Le Chi Quang was sentenced in October 2002 to four years in prison for publishing articles on the Internet deploring Vietnam's human rights abuses. Other imprisoned dissidents include Tran Van Khue and Nguyen Khac Toan. Roman Catholic priest Nugyen Van Ly is serving a fifteen-year prison term for submitting written testimony to the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom.
As Dr. Quan Nguyen, chairman of the International Committee for Freedom, put it, "The arrest of Dr. Nguyen Dan Que and other dissidents who just peacefully express their opinions proves that there is no freedom of information in Vietnam."
Vietnam has stepped up its repression of the Montagnard minority. A report by Human Rights Watch documents beatings, arrests, land confiscation, and church closings suffered by the Montagnards at the hands of the Vietnamese government. The U.S. Government has documented the extensive abuse of human rights in Vietnam in its annual Country Reports on Human Rights. It has also repeatedly raised its concerns with the government of Vietnam, both in individual meetings and through its U.S.-Vietnam Human Rights Dialogue. The future of this dialogue is in question, due to lack of results.
It remains to be seen whether the Vietnamese government will voluntarily move towards respect for human rights. But the U.S. salutes those who bravely continue to strive for non-violent reform.

A doctors group is reviewing guidelines that cast doubt on treatments for long-term Lyme disease.
Patients say they need long-term antibiotics. But guidelines of

Insurance companies cite those guidelines when they refuse to
The disease was discovered in Lyme, Connecticut, in 1975. It can
be hard to diagnose with its vague, flu-like symptoms. Its
trademark is a round red rash. Usually, it's easily cured with a
few weeks of antibiotics. Those not promptly treated can develop
arthritis, meningitis and other serious illnesses.
Connecticut authorities pressed the case for the patients,
arguing that the panel violated anti-trust law by excluding some
evidence that may support patient claims.

Three months after a gunman posing as a police officer went on a rampage across the province of Nova Scotia, questions still remain about Canada’s deadliest mass shooting, and why the Royal Canadian Mounted Police couldn’t stop it.
When police arrived at the first crime scene at 10:36pm on 18 April, in a quiet cul-de-sac in the the seaside community of Portapique, they found a bloodbath.
Several bodies were strewn in the street and buildings were on fire. Over the course of the next few days, police would find 13 victims across seven different locations in that single neighbourhood.
“Nobody really understands. Everybody knows it was an unimaginable thing that happened there,” Tom Taggart, a local politician in Portapique, told the BBC.
“You can’t visualise. You couldn’t possibly understand what it was like there that night.”
An hour later, RCMP tweeted they were investigating a “firearms complaint” in Portapique and that people in the area should lock their doors and stay inside.
It would take eight hours before they sent another tweet, and another two after that for police to tell the public that the gunman was wearing a police uniform and driving a police cruiser.
At 11:26am, police caught up with the gunman, Gabriel Wortman, at a petrol station 95km (59 miles) south of where his crime spree began. He died in a shootout with police.
Over the course of that evening and early morning, Wortman would kill a total of 22 victims, including two frontline healthcare workers, a primary school teacher and RCMP Constable Heidi Stevenson, a 23-year veteran of the RCMP and mother of two. All were adults, except for 17-year-old Emily Tuck, who was killed alongside her two parents.
The complexities of the case meant that it took several days to identify all the victims, and several more before the police could release a timeline.
From the outset, people have demanded an inquiry into the RCMP’s response to the shooting.
“I desperately want to know what led to this. And that’s what the inquiry needs to be and it should be happening now,” Mr Taggart said.
Why didn’t the RCMP send out an emergency alert as early as Saturday evening?
Why did they only alert the public that Wortman was impersonating an officer the following morning, hours after a witness told him he was driving a police cruiser?
How did he get access to a decommissioned police cruiser in the first place?
How did he amass a collection of illegal weapons from the US?
“We need answers to heal, we need answers so we can find a way to live in this new normal that we’ve been forced into,”wrote the daughter of one of his victims, Heather O’Brien, in a letter published on Facebook on 31 May.
Darker questions have also emerged, such as why police ignored reports of the gunman’s violent behaviour towards women, or why they ignored warnings he was amassing an arsenal and wanted to “kill a cop”, and how he was able to liquidate C$475,000 ($350,000, £279,000) from his account in a single transaction.
Officials keep promising an inquiry is forthcoming, but so far it hasn’t materialised.
Nova Scotia Justice Minister Mark Furey declined an interview, but a ministry spokesperson said this:
“We recognise Canadians are looking for, and deserve, answers about the tragic events that happened in April. The Nova Scotia Department of Justice is actively engaged with the federal government on this matter and an announcement is forthcoming. We are committed to ensuring we take the necessary steps to support victims and families as we move toward an announcement.”
In the absence of an inquiry, several legal cases have emerged.
Members of the media are going to court to release documents about the investigation. Wortman’s victims and their families have filed a class-action lawsuit against his estate, and another class-action lawsuit has been filed against the RCMP, the federal attorney general and the attorney general of Nova Scotia.
“We will review and consider any such claim once served. We do not anticipate having any further comment on this matter. Our primary focus continues to be on the ongoing criminal investigation, and supporting the victims of this tragedy as well as our members and employees,” RCMP spokesperson Corporal Jennifer Clarke said in a statement.
Mrs O’Brien’s husband, Andrew O’Brien, is one of two named plaintiffs in the case against the RCMP. The class-action lawsuit has not been certified by the courts yet, a procedure that can take up to a year.
The lawsuit alleges the RCMP “breached the standard of care expected of them” and behaved in a “high-handed, self-serving and disrespectful manner” to victims and their family during the course of their investigation, which is ongoing.

Reduced potassium intake.
Dieting limitation from K + can potentially result in hypokalemia; yet not, most of the time weight reduction limit aggravate hypokalemia on account of other causes. Whilst renal is specialized urine virtually without Na + in response in order to losing weight Na + limit, it will only treat urinary K + to help you

Magnesium deficiency (which are often found in this type of logical issues) get join new noticed hypokalemia. Contained in this means, hypokalemia is going to be refractory in order to cures on account of a long-term raise for the kidney K + removal, because intracellular Milligrams ++ generally suppress K + hormonal from the ROMK channel about distal nephron (21). Brand new kaliuretic feeling triggered of the magnesium deficiency try subsequent exacerbated below criteria away from increased distal Na + beginning and improved aldosterone.
Since adjustments in renal K + excretion can take several hours following a K + load, initial changes in extracellular K + concentrations are buffered by movement of K + into or out of skeletal muscle. Additionally, postprandial release of insulin functions not only to regulate the serum glucose concentrations but also to shift dietary K + into cells until the kidney excretes the K + load, thereby reestablishing normal total body K + content. During exercise, the release of catecholamines through ?2-stimulation limits the increase in extracellular K + concentration that occurs as a result of the normal K + release by contracting muscle. Pathological stimulation of ?2-receptors can result in symptomatic hypokalemia. For example, hypokalemia is a potential complication of the hyperadrenergic state that often times accompanies alcohol withdrawal syndromes or a myocardial infarction (35). Table 1 lists several factors that cause hypokalemia due to cell shift.
Hypokalemic periodic paralysis is a rare disorder characterized by muscle weakness or paralysis due to the sudden movement of K + into cells (25). These manifestations are normally precipitated in the rest period immediately following an exercise bout, during times of stress, or following a high-carbohydrate meal (8). There is an acquired form of this disease that typically occurs in hyperthyroid men of either Asian or Mexican descent. Correction of the endocrine disorder leads to resolution of hypokalemia. There is a familial form of hypokalemic periodic paralysis that is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern and has similar clinical features to the acquired form (10). However, the familial form is usually manifested in someone who is younger (usually <20 yr) and is most commonly seen in Caucasians. The familial disorder has been linked to mutations in the muscle calcium channel ?1-subunit gene (CACNA1S) on chromosome 1q3132.

Cutaneous loss of K + enough to end up in hypokalemia try strange; not, this could occur around conditions regarding serious do it inside an attractive, humid ecosystem because of large amounts away from sweat resulting in K + destruction.

Altima: Redesigned for the 2019 model year and on sale this fall, the Altima midsize sedan takes two bold steps in technology. It will offer all-wheel drive in hopes of separating itself from the import sedan pack. And it will contain Nissan's newly developed variable-compression turbo four-cylinder engine, a powertrain that provides quick acceleration and improved fuel economy.
Maxima: The Maxima received a full redesign in 2016 and is preparing for a freshening next year. The large sedan will receive a more aggressive front grille and new headlights.
Leaf: Nissan's battery-powered car was redesigned for the 2018 model year and will carry over with minimal changes for the next two years. But a second version of the car will appear in early 2019, containing a new battery with a significantly farther driving range and selling at a higher price point. That extended-range Leaf is expected to offer approximately 225 miles of battery range compared with 150 miles on the current Leaf.
370Z: Nissan frankly admits that it has not resolved what to do with its iconic Z-car. Last redesigned for 2009, the sports car is overdue for a makeover. And Nissan declares it will keep the Z alive in the midterm. But longer term, planners are rethinking the Z, including such fundamental issues as what propulsion system it uses and how to make it perform with the same acceleration and agility while meeting future regulations on safety and emissions.
GT-R: Nissan is working on a replacement for the GT-R that could appear as early as 2022. The primary focus of the next GT-R is to harness still greater power than its current 565 hp from a V-6 engine.
Kicks: The new B-segment crossover, based on the Versa, went on sale last month as a 2018 model.
Juke: The subcompact Juke disappears from Nissan's lineup this year.
Rogue: The Rogue compact crossover received a technology upgrade in 2018 to add the autonomous ProPilot Assist package, which includes assisted steering, braking and accelerating during single-lane highway driving. But Nissan's larger plan for the big-volume crossover was revealed in the Xmotion concept at this year's Detroit auto show. The concept suggested that the next-generation Rogue — due out in 2020 or 2021 — will be more ambitiously styled to separate it from the pack. The design featured a more prominent front end and an upward thrusting rear. Interior cues included high-end wood surfaces and Japanese-influenced colors and materials.
Murano: The midsize crossover receives a freshening in 2019, with an updated V-motion grille and new front and rear lights.
Pathfinder: The Pathfinder midsize crossover received a major freshening in 2016 and should be up for a complete redesign in 2020 or 2021.
Terra: The creation of a global light-commercial-vehicle business unit within the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi alliance has tantalizing prospects for Nissan Division's North American truck line. One of them is the decision to introduce a midsize truck-based SUV for China, called the Terra. That description comes close to describing the brand's U.S. market Xterra, a now-defunct midsize SUV that retains a cult following among off-roaders. The Xterra disappeared when the more civilized and fuel-efficient car-based Rogue took over Nissan's marketing efforts. But in the new reality of a global light-truck business unit, the question is not whether the automaker will produce the SUV — it already has made that decision — but whether Nissan North America will choose to market it in the U.S. sometime after 2020.
Armada: The full-size SUV will be in line for a freshening in 2019.

An interview with frontman Aaron Beam
Welcome back to the UK Aaron, how are you?
I am fine thank you, I am not drinking on this tour so there will be no hangovers.
Red Fang has been on tour non-stop since the release of Murder The Mountains in 2011. And now you are here at Download, one of the biggest festival in Europe: how do you feel about being part of such an amazing event?
The first time I really started learning about Download was during a tour in the US with a band called Unearth in the summer of 2011. They were showing us picture of the crowd which looked totally insane! The guys from Unearth could not stop talking about how great Download was, as they just came from playing there. It’s great being here now, I didn’t necessarily think this could ever be a possibility for us.
I like to ask this question to artists playing here at Download: is there any band you are looking forward to see as a fan during these three days?
I wish we could have got here last night to see Queens Of The Stone Age, I have never seen them live and I have been a fan for a long time. Jason Newsted and his band are playing right after us so I am really looking forward to seeing them, we played a couple of times with them before.
2013 started in great style for Red Fang as you guys played at the Soundwave in Australia, it must have felt like an achievement for you.
Oh yeah! My wife toured the world for ten years in the nineties and she never managed to get to Australia. It has always been a dream of hers. I felt a little guilty but I also felt this kind of proud accomplishment to be able to go down to Australia. Soundwave is incredible, everything is so well organized and the people that go there.. I think that Australians are very resilient people, doors open at 10 am, we played at 11.20 and every day before noon there was a huge crowd, already drunk and ready to go. It was great, I’d go back there in a second!
I think Red Fang is great music for Australians.
It was really, really fun!
Let’s talk about your upcoming album: Murder The Mountains still feels fresh to me, I cannot believe you have the follow-up already. How did you find the time during your recent, extensive tour to even think about a new album?
It was tough, we actually had to turn down a bunch of tours to set aside some studio time, which we had never done before. This is the first album which we have recorded as part of what they call…. a cycle? I hadn’t even herd this term before, but essentially with Murder The Mountains we felt we could only tour for so long before it was going to start petering out. Luckily it still feels fresh to you, but we knew we had to get something else done and we made a point to have some studio time and not accepting tour for the beginning of the year. So we just sat down and wrote a bunch of songs in three months and recorded them right after that and mixed them immediately after. It was stressful as we have never worked that way but I think that creating these sort of artificial, intentional restrictions with time, sometimes it’s the best way for creativity to happen. If you give yourself too much time, you may end up overthinking.
What can we expect from Red Fang – chapter III?
The new album is definitely a continuation of Murder The Mountains but I feel like, because we did not have enough time to explore, a lot of the songs are much more compact, even the long tracks feel like they are denser and they just get to the point a lot faster. But I think it’s very hard to describe how a record is, I will leave it to the professionals.
And I think it’s always good not to give too much anticipation on an upcoming album, it’s better to be surprised..
Any anticipation on the title?
No we cannot release this information yet.
So we will have to wait and we will. Not to put any pressure but is there a release date?
It’s done, we finished everything before we started the current tour, the new album will be released in the middle of October. As soon as you start getting depressed because the summer is over, the new Red Fang album will be out.

Clovely Estate Vineyard Cellar Door
Clovely Estate is a family-owned business born out of a love of wine and a family agricultural history in the region.
From the planting of our first vineyards in 1997, their vision was to work with the local climate and terroir to produce a small quantity of exceptional wine. They have always been prepared to experiment with ancient and innovative winemaking techniques to create something unique with all the appeal of its artisan heritage. Becoming a James Halliday 5-star winery in 2015 gave official recognition to what their loyal customers already knew.
Their olives are equally special and their olive oils, pressed locally at the old Murgon Butter Factory, capture all the warmth and flavour of our Mediterranean climate.
Clovely Estate wines not only rank amongst Australia’s best but are now being exported to Asian countries that are discovering a taste for boutique wines.

What began four decades ago as a small touring ballet company has since grown to become Springfield Ballet—a vibrant non-profit arts community fostering the training of young dancers, premier performance and local outreach.
Cynthia Hollander was a leader in the movement for Springfield to create its very own production of The Nutcracker, and in 1985 and two sets ago, Springfield Ballet performed the show for the very first time.
Since then, The Nutcracker has become Springfield Ballet’s most well-known piece. It serves as a staple and holiday family tradition for many families in the Springfield area.
Although every year brings an array of exciting productions and accomplishments for Springfield Ballet, 2016 in particular was a very special one for the company: It was the Springfield Ballet’s 40th anniversary. To celebrate, the 2016 production of The Nutcracker featured a brand-new set designed by Massachusetts-based set designer, Roger LaVoie.
Fundraising for the set began in October of 2014 and was completed in May of 2016. Following a nationwide search and 32 total submissions, five talented finalists were chosen, and the public voted on their favorite at 2015's production of The Nutcracker. LaVoie’s set concept was selected.
In preparation for designing the concept, LaVoie had traveled to Springfield, took pictures and made a trip to the history museum to get a feel for the Springfield area and its significant landmarks and culture. As a result, two of the six new backdrops feature a design and atmosphere that is Springfield- and Ozarks-inspired and reminiscent of the beautiful, large Victorian homes found on Historic Walnut Street.
“We wanted to make sure that [the new set] had a local flair to it, that it spoke to Springfield and really was just a Springfield production,” former Springfield Ballet Executive Director Evan Bennett said. “That was one of the big factors in deciding to work with Roger—making sure he could provide something particular to our area that we wouldn’t be seeing everywhere else. This is a truly Springfield-specific production that you won’t see anywhere else, so we’re pretty proud of that.”
Although 2016’s production of The Nutcracker still featured the traditional late-Victorian and Edwardian eras, the new set introduced a breathtaking growing tree, a 3-D clock and several other fresh backdrops for an exciting and refreshing twist on the annual production.
“Roger is an expert with forced perspective, so there are a lot of beautiful backdrops,” Bennett says of the sets. “Our Act Two set will look very cavernous, which is going to be incredible to see from an audience perspective.”
The staff at Springfield Ballet expect to be able to use the new set for the next 15 to 20 years, so an entire generation will grow up with this set for The Nutcracker.
Bennett also says the new set has an impact on the performers, giving them a renewed sense of energy and enjoyment in being a part of the production with a new twist.

RET is a tyrosine kinase receptor on chromosome 10. It is an oncogene that develops a gain of function mutation in the MEN2A and MEN2B syndromes.
The disease is passed in an autosomal dominant fashion. Therefore, there is often a significant family history in patients that present with this disease.
Medullary carcinomas of the thyroid are neuroendocrine tumors derived from the C cells, or parafollicular cells of the thyroid and are often seen in MEN 2A and MEN2B syndromes. Cases associated with the MEN syndrome occur in younger persons while sporadic cases develop much later in life. These tumors secrete calcitonin, and altered calcitonin polypeptides can deposit as amyloid, which has a characteristic red stain on Congo dye.
This is a neuroendocrine tumor of the chromaffin cells which secrete catecholamines. This tumor is of neural crest cell origin and is often found in the adrenal medulla. It often presents with the classic triad of intermittent palpitations, headache and diaphoresis.
Patients with marfanoid body habitus display long limbs, arachnodactyly, and hyperlaxity. This type of body habitus is seen in MEN2B, homocystinuria, and Marfan syndrome.

Henderson stands out at Nike Camp
Dallas Carter defensive tackle Chris Henderson has not had a chance to get as much exposure as other top defensive linemen in the state of Texas. However, the Texas A&M commit changed that on Saturday at the Fort Worth Nike Camp.
With other linemen such as Texas commit Alex Okafor, Oklahoma commit Terry Daniel and Mississippi State commit Anthony Rogers but just a few of the big names in attendance, Henderson still managed to set himself apart.
"I think I did well," said the 6-foot-2, 249 pound junior. "I think I stood out. I'll be the first to admit that I've never suffered from a lack of self confidence but I did a lot better than I expected. I guess I'm even better than I thought.

Lionel Messi drawing came true six years later in Barça vs Betis
Back in 2013, Suhas Nahian drew a caricature of Barcelona star Lionel Messi in full flow, and in March 2019, that image came to life.
Lionel Messi has left many impressions on the mind of football followers the world over. Photos, videos, paintings, murals, sculptures, tattoos, you name it, someone has captured a special moment of the Argentine doing his thing on the turf. But this may be the first that was done ahead of time.
The Messi prophecy
On 17 March 2019, FC Barcelona travelled to Seville to play Real Betis and one photo that emerged from the Messi hat-trick that secured a 1-4 victory for the Catalan side. The goal itself drew praise and admiration from all as he escaped the challenges of three opponents, but it was drawing showing the same image from six years earlier that went viral.
In 2013, Suhas Nahian drew a caricature of the blaugrana number 10, dribbling away from Betis players, leaving them in his dust. One that he was amazed to see come true so many years later.
"I painted something 6 years ago," Nahian said, "and the footballing gods made the image come true."
Unconfirmed reports stated that the artist is now producing a variety of drawings on lottery numbers, horses winning races, and his favourite team winning every trophy.

After I finally got to New Zealand I was not able to get transport directly from Christ Church to Franz Joseph. So I was finally able to book a really scenic train ride from Christ Church to Arthur's Pass. From there I was supposed to take a bus to Franz Joseph. I wasn't looking forward to all of this at all because this whole train/bus journey was after I had basically been on a train for 23+ hours and had to rebook my flights and spend all that money due to me forgetting my passport. I was just SO over it! Not to mention when I finally did land in Christ Church after all that travel I ended up having to sleep in the airport under the hertz rent a car desk. On the ground. Ya it sucked lol.
Well the good news was that my parent surprised me and met me in Arthur's Pass! Which meant that I didn't have to take yet another bus journey to meet my family. I was happily surprised to see them for sure! Exhausted and frustrated from all my travels but happy. Honestly though the train ride from Christ Church to Arthur's Pass really was super scenic and really amazing. I have pictures on Facebook and I will put some up here. Not to mention I got to sit next to a really cool British girl who shared my love of travel so the time went fast!
Once I finally met up with my parents we drove from Arthur's Pass to Franz Joseph and my parents and brother walked on the glacier in Franz Joseph ( I didn't because I have hurt my leg) lucky for me I have already been to New Zealand and done most of this. So it was a bummer not to be able to do everything with my family but it was just good to see them and be there even if I couldn't join in on everything. From Franz Joseph we drove to Wanaka and stayed there for a while which was nice. From there we drove to Cardrona and my family skied for a day while I at inside where it was warm haha. It was quite cold and windy there and apparently we left just in time because a lot of people got stranded on the mountain! From there we drove to Arrowtown (close to Queens Town). We drove into Queens Town for the day and tooled around.
The BEST part for me was the ever amazing Ferg Burger! Only the best burger joint in all of the southern hemisphere. I LOVE that place and I was SO excited to go back! My parents and brother liked it too :) It is open 21 hours a day 7 days a week! If you ever get to Queens Town you MUST go to Ferg Burger. But sadly for the rest of us there is only one of them. The owner refuses to franchise :( After our time in Queens Town we drove back to Christ Church and spent the night there. The next day my family left to go back home and I flew back here to Brisbane on the flight from hell, which I will tell you all about in my next blog.
I guess that is it really,Ty
