Let's begin here, so nobody is confused: the Broncos are one of the best teams in the NFL with what might be the best offense in league history. If the Chiefs win in Denver, it would be the biggest accomplishment of any team so far this season.
So we're all clear on that?
Good, because this is also true:
The Chiefs can do it, and not just in one of those puncher's-chance, hey-this-is-the-NFL way that anything can and often does happen.
Andy Reid: "Every Game Is A Challenge" from The Mothership
Q: What's your message to your team today to keep them focused, because there is so much hype behind this game?
REID: "I don't think focus is where your emphasis goes on this game. They're going to be focused. They're playing a good football team and that's just how it works. The important part is that you go back to the things that you've done every week from a preparation standpoint. You respect the heck out of Denver and then you study them and get yourself right as a team. You make sure that you know the scheme, make sure that you stay up on what you need to be physically at the highest level. That's how you go about doing your business. You don't want to get caught up in all of the distractions that go on with being a Sunday night game or however you look at it. We're playing the Denver Broncos and you want to make sure you get yourself prepared to play a good football team."
Checking In With The Chiefs Special Teams from The Mothership
The team's Pro Bowl punter is happy with the unbeaten start, but more importantly is focused on the here-and-now.
"Honestly, from the very get-go, we were told one thing, 'One game at a time, one practice at a time'," Colquitt said. "We have a chance to look around and think, 'Wow, we are 9 and 0', which is a special thing and doesn't happen a whole lot. It hasn't happened here, since 2003, before I was here. We're happy about it, but we know we have seven really tough games left. We have a lot of division foes coming up, which we are excited about; that's what you play for, the division guys, the rivals. The Broncos, Raiders and Chargers, those division games are where the history is for our fanbase and our organization; that's going to be the fun part of the season."
"I've seen first-hand how this can divide and destroy a locker room, a team, and quite frankly an entire organization," said Gannon, now an analyst for CBS. "Early in my career in Minnesota, the older players ... there was a culture that existed where they were worried about their jobs. They didn't reach out and help younger players.
"I also went to places like Kansas City where Marty Schottenheimer created a culture and environment where none of this existed. Older players reached out to younger players and welcomed them to the organization and were very supportive."
And then there was Oakland, where older players bullied younger players, which Gannon said, "made me sick."
Chiefs Thankful To U.S. Veterans from The Mothership
"I had a chance to go over to Afghanistan and tour around there," coach Reid said. "It was an unbelievable experience. I wish every 16-year-old could go over there and kind of see what the servicemen and women are doing for our country. The sacrifice that is being made, the organization and the joining of hands that it takes to keep our country free, there's a dedication and there's a loyalty that helps make it happen. The American flag is everywhere; everybody's proud of that, but there's great dedication and it's awesome; it's awesome to see."
But one thing the Chargers did that I expect the Chiefs to try to emulate is a ball hogging offense that had possession for more than 38 minutes. Some of this is that Denver can score so freaking fast, but it's always a good idea to keep Manning off the field, limit his shots, and wear out Denver's defense if possible.

Kansas City Primed For Statement vs. Denver Broncos from NFL.com
Truth be told, this weekend's clash at Mile High absolutely is a must-win game for the Broncos. While I'm a believer in the Chiefs, the outside perception is that they have a Cinderella feel to them -- everyone's waiting for the magic to wear off. They will head to Denver with a focused attitude, but they aren't expected to win. And despite the venue -- despite Denver owning an amazing and pronounced home-field advantage, especially in prime time -- I'm not convinced the Broncos will be able to hold off the Chiefs.
NFC Is About To Get Real from MMQB
So when Bowe went to the sidelines after that series and Reid saw him, the coach said, "Hey 82, what do you see?" Bowe told him on this play, Z Out Zebra Post, he thought if Reid called it again, McCluster should do what Bowe had done on the first play, run a deep seam route, and Bowe, instead of streaking downfield, should run a short out, to take two cover men with him. That way, McCluster would be singled and, with his quickness, get a step on his man.
So here came that chance, late in the half. Coaches told Bowe and McCluster to switch their routes, and Z Out Zebra Post was Reid's call. At the line of scrimmage, Bowe got the double-clap again and he knew he'd get doubled, and at the snap of the ball, Bowe ran an out-route with safety T.J. Ward and corner Buster Skrine bracketing him. Streaking straight downfield, McCluster got two steps on corner Joe Haden. Smith threw. McCluster stretched for the ball at the goal line. Bingo. Easy touchdown.

As the Chiefs make the turn from the front nine to the back seven (and beyond), their front office, the men behind the curtains, are an even more fascinating case study: Mike Frazier, the club's statistical analysis coordinator, interned at Smith Barney and Wachovia. Brad Childress, the spread game analyst, helped revive football at the University of Wisconsin under Barry Alvarez and coached the Minnesota Vikings to a pair of division titles between 2006-10. Consultant Chris Ault invented the Pistol offense as the longtime coach/athletic director at Nevada.
Chiefs' Events During 'Salute To Service' from Chiefs Spin
Brad Childress, Chiefs spread game analyst/special projects coach:
"They don't hear enough of this. We're behind them all the way regardless of what happens politically. I don't know what different messages they get with us pulling people out, but we back them and we back them 1,000 percent. I think they should know that."
Note: Childress' son, Andrew, served in Afghanistan as a Marine and Childress went on a USO tour to the Middle East, which he called "awesome," in 2010 as the head coach of the Minnesota Vikings.
"It's special having had a son serve a tour of duty in Afghanistan," Childress said of Veterans Day. "And to be able go over there, actually go to Afghanistan and see what's that's all about over there in Bagram (Air Base), it just gives you whole different appreciation for the people that are putting their lives on the line for our freedom."
Kansas City Chiefs Get Big Test When They Travel To Denver On Sunday from The Los Angeles Times
The Kansas City Chiefs are 9-0 and the NFL's only undefeated team.
But how good are they, really?
We'll know a lot more Sunday when the Chiefs play at Denver in a pivotal AFC West showdown.
Three Pressing Questions As Broncos Week Begins from FS Kansas City
Can The Andy Gang run the ball on Denver in Denver?
And, more important, can they continue to run the ball when it counts? The Broncos came into Week 10 with the fourth-best rushing defense in the NFL, allowing just 87.0 yards per game and 3.4 yards per carry.
Jack's Smack: Chiefs Won't Win In Denver from KSHB
The Chiefs looked tired in their last two games. This bye week came at the right time.
I want, in the worst way, for the Chiefs to win this game, but, I'm sorry, not in Denver.
Manning is too good and his receivers are too hard to catch.
Denver, 34. Chiefs, 20.
Chiefs Back To Work As Bronco Showdown Awaits from The Associated Press via The Belleville News Democrat
It was supposed to be a week off for Chiefs coach Andy Reid, the one time during the grueling 17-week season where there are hardly any practices and no stressful game.
Thanks to his handy iPad, Reid managed to squeeze in a little bit of work anyway.
After all, the Denver Broncos are on the docket Sunday night.
When the Kansas City Chiefs season began, no one really knew what to expect. But after nine weeks without a loss, many are starting to think playoffs. The Denver Broncos stand in the way this week and with the game in the Mile High City, fans are making plans to watch the game.
The word for the week is "early'". Shop "early" if you are hosting a party, get there "early" if you are going to watch it at your favorite sports bar.
It's probably an understatement that Reid didn't have to work hard to get the attention of the Chiefs. They're 9-0 and the NFL's last remaining unbeaten team, but the Broncos are only a step behind at 8-1. Starting time for the game on Sunday in Denver was recently pushed back to prime time to accommodate a prime-time audience and the massive amount of attention this game is attracting.
In fact, Reid might have to dial back the intensity this week for a game that has been much anticipated for weeks.
6 Days To Denver: Change The No Respect Cardfrom Warpaint Illustrated
The Broncos have not faced a defense built to shut down their offense. On the flip side, the Chiefs defense hasn't faced an offense like this before either. Though the Dallas Cowboys have shown flashes of what the Broncos can do and Kansas City held them to 16 points. The Broncos held Dallas to 48 points.
So technically, it's a wash. But if the Chargers defense, with a Swiss Cheese secondary could at times slow down Manning, it begs the question what KC's defense can do?

Here's what I know about the Chiefs: they're not going to win a shootout. Here's what I know about the Broncos: they're not going to win without Peyton Manning. Here's what I don't know: Will Peyton Manning and his high-ankle sprain make it through the entire game? I like the Chiefs defense a lot, but I like Manning at home in a primetime game more.

A Bye Week Doesn't Mean It's A Week Off from The Joplin Globe
When people look at me, all they see is a guy whose favorite NFL team hasn't lost a game yet.
What they don't understand is that behind my tough exterior, there is fear, the sort of fear that says: "This could be the week we've been dreading. This could be the week we lose."
I haven't felt that sort of stress in a long time. The last time the Chiefs had a season even remotely like this, it didn't end well. The Chiefs lost in the playoffs.
But, instead of taking a break, I decided to keep going. I decided to watch football just like I would if the Chiefs were playing. I felt I owed it to the team.
The Broncos have the NFL's highest scoring offense, while the Chiefs have allowed fewer points than any other team this season. But everyone has an opinion, including a Denver rapper that is weighing in on the competition.
‘The way Peyton reading defense you're about to catch a beating," rapper ‘The Mad Fanatic' says in his song titled "Dorothy."
Updated Super Bowl Odds from National Football Post
Kansas City Chiefs (from 60/1 to 12/1): Raise your hand if you thought Andy Reid and Alex Smith would be sitting atop the AFC West entering Week 11. The Chiefs have rattled off nine straight victories to open the season and boast a league-best +15 turnover differential to go along with their league-best 12.3 points per game allowed on defense. Still, despite the fact that Kansas City stands as the NFL's lone unbeaten franchise, there are many who feel this team is headed for nothing better than a wild card playoff berth.
Unbeaten Chiefs Underdogs Of More Than A TD Sunday At Denver from ProFootballTalk
The Chiefs-Broncos line sent us to our leather-bound, rich-mahogany-smelling point spread archives to answer this question: Has a team that has started 9-0 ever been an underdog of more than a TD this late in the season?
The answer is yes. But it's complicated, as you'll see.
The Walking Dead Punted By Sunday Night Football from Comicbook.com
Next week should be an interesting game; while the Kansas City Chiefs don't necessarily scream "ratings powerhouse," they're playing the Denver Broncos, who are both wildly popular among football fans in general and widely expected to be in the mix for the Super Bowl this year. The Walking Dead, meanwhile, is picking up from last night's huge cliffhanger and building what's expected to be a three-week arc toward the mid-season finale.
Chris Christie The Candidate To Beat in 2016? Not So Fast from The Los Angeles Times
But Christie ran against a Democrat who mounted a laughably weak campaign. Taking his New Jersey showing as a guide to how he might perform in a presidential contest is like taking the Kansas City Chiefs' running and passing performance against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and projecting that onto their performance in a potential Super Bowl appearance. (For non-NFL fans, the Chiefs have the best record in pro football and the Bucs, at this writing, have yet to win a game.)
It's Tough To Imagine Any Scenario By Which The Patriots Miss The Playoffs from The Nashua Telegraph

Since my camera is on some kind of Mercury retrograde vacation, I've fallen back on the scanner. The last free pages in the sketchbook are looming but it's taken me since 3/04 to come that far. I'm just not a sketcher. Flipping through the pages, most of them have unintelligible scribblings from meetings, lists of supplies for projects unknown, anything but drawings. Thanks to Susie Monday for posting this quote from Annie Dillard. But here's a doodle that recurs and for once has made it off the page into reality. I wanted these leaves to stay soft, the better to be woven into my own version of Judy Martin's protection blankets, but the batting scraps I used must have had some kind of adhesive on them that activated and hardened when I ironed them. Now they are crisp, stiff ...almost mailable. Watch your mailboxes.

Park City Mountain to open Friday for summer season
Resort welcomes new additions, brings back popular activities
With temperatures continuing to rise and the snow nearly melted, Park City Mountain is set to open for its summer season on Friday.
The Park City Base Area, which includes popular activities such as the alpine slides and coaster, will be the first of the resort’s two distinct base areas to open on Friday, while Canyons Village and the Park City Bike Park are set to open on June 16. However, Canyons Golf, which sits on the Canyons side, will also open this weekend.
“Summer is such a fun time at Park City Mountain,” said Margo Van Ness, Park City Mountain’s Senior Manager of Communications. “As locals and visitors both know, summer in Utah is one of the most beautiful times of year and with a full roster of activities at Park City Mountain — including lift-served biking, hiking, golf, alpine coaster and slide and kids’ activities — we’re ready to bring on summer this Friday.”
Opening day activities include miniature golf, the ZipRider, the Flying Eagle Zip Lines and hiking and mountain biking terrain. It will offer scenic life rides on the Crescent Lift (PayDay Lift will offer scenic rides when Crescent Lift is not operating), though the Town Lift will not open until June 16.
A number of kids’ attractions will also open up on Friday, including a small kids’ zipline, kids’ tubing and a kids’ challenge course. The resort will also debut the new gem-panning activity for kids, a nod to the area’s rich mining heritage.
“New this season, kids can be a Park City miner for the day and use our sluice and mining pans to discover and collect a wide variety of gems, crystals, minerals and fossils at the base of Park City Mountain,” Van Ness said.
Some improvements the resort made for the summer include upgrades at Canyons Golf and the Grand Summit Hotel. Canyons Golf updated some of its holes, including an extension of Hole No. 11, an additional tee box at Hole No. 4 and renovated greens.
The Grand Summit Hotel, scheduled to reopen in mid-summer, will undergo an extensive $15 million renovation, per Park City Mountain’s press release, and subsequent flagging as a RockResorts property. Renovations will include a complete overhaul of all 212 suites, changes to the lobby and front desk, and a full remodel of the on-site spa, café and general store.
“We’re incredibly excited for the Grand Summit to be flagged as a RockResorts hotel, further boosting the luxury lodging options at the Canyons Village Base Area,” Van Ness said.
Throughout the summer, Park City Mountain is scheduled to host a number of events, including the Kids Adventure Games on June 16, the start of the Summer Concert Series at Canyons Village on June 24 and its annual Fourth of July Celebration.

Goal Setting Day 2016.
January 1, 2016. It’s almost here. The big day when we all start talking about Goal Setting and New Years Resolutions. Do you still do it? Publicly claim your new year’s resolution? Goal Setting or Effective Action Planning — introducing a new way to change your mindset and really achieve results
I propose you do it differently this year. Make it an Effective Action Map — a circular process that takes you from dream to vision, to obliterating the blocks, to asking solution based questions, identifying what is in your toolkit, creating an effective plan, taking action, knowing how you will feel when you reach you have achieved, and finally celebrating your success.
It matters not how big or how small the goal is. What matters is that you learn this strategy for acheiving real results.
On my new page, I demonstrate the value of circular mapping to success. Take a look. I’d love to hear what you think. I know it looks like a fun diagram, but I am proof that it works.
This is a mind map for results oriented thinking. In it, you learn to enhance, embellish, empower your life and you learn to get dramatic results easily. It’s work, but it’s actually a fun way to engage your brain. I just put an article on this site that better identifies this and how it can work for you.
I don’t think it is fair to throw this powerful tool up here and not offer a free consultation on how to use it. Until I write an article on exactly how it works, I’m offering you a free 30 minute consult.
Trust me — this is the most powerful brain changer I’ve found.
My article is here: http://bewellbistro.com/effective-action-modeling/
And if you want to know more of where this came from, I recommend looking into the following:
Neuro Linquistic Programming – For me, learning hands on from Wil Horton made all the difference. I finally found a therapeutic model that wasn’t just how to manipulate someone for a sale or for sex. I also studied under Steve Boyley, another master of mind. What I liked about Steve was a small class and personalized focus. Between these two programs, I learned lifeskills that are still used today, 20 years later. The models of NLP work and I say it has most to do with your personal intention.

Key words: Hypereosinophilia, Infection, Immunodeficiency, Lymphoproliferative disorders, Diagnosis
Blood eosinophilia, especially if found fortuitously, often remains poorly understood. This article provides a diagnostic approach to hypereosinophilia, focusing on the context in which these data are found. The diagnostic evaluation of hypereosinophilia with no other symptoms should consider the level of eosinophils and the duration and trend of hypereosinophilia. A count greater than 1,500/μl is the proposed cut-off because it is potentially associated with organ damage. Common infections account for most hypereosinophilias and are often transient and difficult to define. Other common causes include parasite infections while lymphoproliferative disorders and hypereosinophilic syndrome genetically determined are rarer. On the other hand, eosinophilia might also be associated with other specific conditions such as immunodeficiency disorders or specific eosinophilic disorders. However, in the latter cases, other specific signs and symptoms, rather than hypereosinophilia alone command diagnostic iter.

The finalisation of the “lowest cost” Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) for electricity has been included in a list of energy-related interventions unveiled by Finance Minister Malusi Gigaba as part of ‘Government’s Inclusive Growth Action Plan’ published on Thursday. Likewise, the National Treasury calls for a lowest cost Integrated Energy Plan.
The action plan has been formulated in response to confirmation that South Africa descended into its first recession since 2009 earlier this year, despite the easing of previous power constraints, as well as improvements in labour relations, commodity prices and growth prospects among the country’s major trading partners.
The National Treasury indicated that a lowest cost IRP should be finalised by February 2018, “taking into account extensive comments received during public consultation” on the draft IRP Base Case, released for public comment in November last year. The Department of Energy (DoE) received public comments until March 31.
The Base Case has been criticised for having included “artificial constraints” on the amount of onshore wind and solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity that could be included yearly. This led several stakeholders to call on the DoE to rerun the IRP in the absence of these constraints so that the Base Case could reflect a ‘least cost scenario’.
It has been widely speculated that the constraints on wind and solar PV were inserted to ensure that the future electricity mix to 2050, included a new nuclear build programme. However, even the 2016 Base Case indicated that the first new nuclear reactor would only be required from 2037, instead of the 2023 timeframe outlined in the 2010 IRP.
Nevertheless, State-owned power utility Eskom proceeded with the Nuclear New Build Programme request for information and received notification from 27 entities by the end of January that they would be responding by the April 28 submission deadline.
However, on April 26 the Western Cape High Court declared the processes hitherto used to procure new nuclear capacity to be unconstitutional and illegal, along with three nuclear-related intergovernmental agreements.
Energy Minister Mmamoloko Kubayi subsequently announced that government would not appeal that ruling and that the any nuclear procurement programme would need to begin afresh.
However, the new action plan has also called for a review of the “pace and scale” of new generation roll-out “under the circumstances of Eskom hardship and overcapacity up to 2021”. The action plan set an August 2017 deadline for finalising the review.
Since mid-2016 Eskom has refused to concluded power purchase agreements (PPAs) for 37 onshore wind and solar PV projects procured by the DoE, in 2015, during the fourth bid window of the Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme.
‘SOFT SUPPORT’ FOR ESKOM
In June, Public Enterprises Minister Lynne Brown told Parliamentarians that the hardship was arising partly as a result of Eskom paying R2.14/kWh for electricity arising from the renewable-energy plants, while it was only able to charge consumers R0.84/kWh.
Brown’s statement has been criticised by the renewables industry, which notes that the tariff methodology makes purchases from independent power producers a full pass-through cost, thus, fully protecting the utility from such costs.
The South African Renewable Energy Council argues that Eskom’s refusal to sign PPAs for the 37 projects, as well as a PPA for a concentrated solar power project procured in an earlier bid window, is holding back investments worth nearly R60-billion and preventing 13 000 construction jobs.
Gigaba reports that the National Energy Regulator of South Africa will be approached this month on the “hardship” Eskom is experiencing and that Eskom would submit the case for “soft support” ahead of the 2018 tariff adjustment.
Eskom is finalising a revenue application to Nersa, which could translate into a 19.9% hike for 2018/19. In 2017/18 the tariff increase was 2.2%.
The Finance Minister said the DoE was working on an interim mechanism until the next tariff application, but that details of the soft support for Eskom would be revealed in due course.
"What we are expressing is a deep appreciation of the weakening the Eskom balance sheet. The Eskom balance sheet is under pressure. And so there is an urgency for us to provide assistance so that they are able to continue implementing the capital build programme and fulfill their mandate."

Formula 1 could soon reward drivers just for finishing a grand prix with points all the way down to 20th place.
At present only the top ten drivers score with first given 25 points, second 18 and third 15.
The points continue to lessen with 10th scoring just one.
However, in the future all 20 drivers could score.
“They’re considering whether the points system should go all the way down to 20, 20 being every car scores a point if they finish the race,” Force India team boss Vijay Mallya told Motorsport.com.
“The bottom starts with one point and then goes up. Or whether 10th should be extended down to 15th. All these discussions took place.”
Mallya, though, fears awarding points to the entire field would “dilute” the achievement of finishing inside the top ten.
“That will get diluted if you start giving points down the line,” he added. “When we do well all my friends send me messages saying, ‘Congratulations, another top 10 finish.’ Top 10 has a certain sense of achievement to it.
“The counter point that was made was that if every driver gets a point, all the way down to the bottom, then every car is going to be racing for a point.
“So at the end of the day nobody is going to stop pushing the limits just because they’re outside the top 10 and there is no reward at the end.”

Because he’s been playing competitive games since he was 8 years old, Paul “randomnoobtv” Palmisano has a experience in a variety of genres and titles. When he discovered Paladins, he took to it quickly -- citing his love of projectile weapons and the nice mix of MOBA and FPS elements as determining factors in his interest. In particular, the champion drafting phase of competitive gameplay was a key element that got him hooked.
Throughout his time participating in community and official tournaments alike, randomnoobtv has developed a reputation for his fierce Drogoz gameplay -- and it makes sense that he’s got such impeccable skills on The Greedy champion, because that’s also his favorite pick. Randomnoob loves the projectile weapon shots in Drogoz’ kit, but his opponents definitely can’t say the same. Even when enemies are on their best champions, this damage-dealer is formidable enough that most players are forced to turn tail and run before the fight even starts just to avoid the threat of his precise follow-up shots.

Like any other dog, French Bulldogs will experience changes in their stool from time to time. But why is my French Bulldog pooping blood all of a sudden? If you’re asking this same question, you badly need to call the veterinarian immediately.
Blood in dog stool can be due to a slew of health problems. This is why you should always consider this as a serious concern, especially if there’s a lot of blood on your Frenchie’s stool.
In this post, I discuss the possible reasons why Frenchies get bloody stools and what you need to do about it. Still, you should remember that your dog’s veterinarian is the best person to consult when it comes to this problem.
Types of bloody stools in dogs
Bloody stools in dogs are categorized into two types: hematochezia and melena. Basically, these two types tell where the blood is coming from in your pet’s digestive system. It’s crucial to know whether the bleeding is serious and how the veterinarian will approach the problem.
With hematochezia, the blood in the Frenchie’s poop will have a bright red color. This means that the bleeding is occurring somewhere in your pet’s lower digestive system. Most of the time, stools that fall within this category will only have small traces of blood.
Meanwhile, bloody stools that fall in the melena type have a black and tarry color. Frenchie owners describe this poop as having an asphalt black color. It means that the bleeding is occurring in the upper digestive tract and is more worrisome than the first type.
The challenging part with melena is the fact that it’s not easy to notice. Many pet owners may associate the dark stool color with their pet’s diet.
Why is my French Bulldog pooping blood?
There are over a dozen possible causes as to why your French Bulldog is having bloody stools. Still, the following are the most common culprits according to veterinarians and pet owners alike.
If your French Bulldog’s stool has fresh blood on it, you should check if the dog is constipated.
Constipation causes a lot of straining while the dog is pooping. This straining can lead to fluids and blood getting flushed together with the poop.
Aside from that, stiff and large poop can lead to anal fissures. These tiny tears in your dog’s rectum occur as it tries to push out the large stool. In the process, the fissures will bleed and the blood will mix with your dog’s poop.
While anal fissures usually heal on their own, you still need to address their main cause. It’s important to help soften your Frenchie’s stool by adding more fiber to its diet. You should also increase your dog’s exercise if it’s leading a sedentary lifestyle.
However, you should also know that constipation can be a secondary condition of other health problems. For example, constipation can be a symptom of hypothyroidism, renal issues, and tumors. So if your Frenchie seems to have a perpetual state of constipation, you should get it checked at the vet.
2. Allergies or dietary intolerances
If your dog isn’t constipated, the next thing you should rule out is allergies or intolerances. The allergen or ingredient your dog can’t digest will trigger inflammation in the digestive system. This can lead to tarry and black stools.
Take note that food allergies and intolerances rarely go away on their own. Also, exposing your dog to the substance or ingredient won’t help build tolerance. Instead, it will just make the adverse reactions worse.
When it comes to intolerances and allergies, a change in diet is often the best solution. You should do this upon the advice of your Frenchie’s veterinarian. Also, the switch should be performed gradually as Frenchies are known to have sensitive stomachs.
3. Anal sac issues
Canines have two anal glands, one on each side of their anus. These glands release unique scents, which serve as the identity of your pet. However, if not expressed regularly, these glands can harbor moisture, traces of feces, and other nasty substances.
Over time, unexpressed anal sacs will become inflamed and infected. This infection can cause bleeding, especially as your Frenchie poops. And if your dog is constipated, the bleeding could be much worse.
Overall, anal gland problems can be prevented with proper grooming. However, if your Frenchie’s anal sacs are already inflamed, you should bring them to the vet for proper treatment.
In cases when the Frenchie’s anal sacs are poorly positioned, the vet may decide to remove it entirely.
4. Parasitic infestation
Intestinal worms can also be the reason behind your French Bulldog’s bloody stool. This condition is called dysentery.
Dysentery happens when intestinal worms and other irritants trigger an intestinal infection. When this happens, blood will mix with the stool before it gets expelled.
Another thing with intestinal worms is that they can cause rashes around your dog’s vulva (for female dogs) and rectum. These rashes may bleed and cause fresh blood to get mixed with your Frenchie’s poop.
Aside from the blood, you can check for the presence of white grain-like segments on your Frenchie’s poop. Other intestinal worms like roundworms and whipworms will come out like spaghetti and can be a few inches long.
Overall, intestinal worms are highly preventable with quarterly deworming. Make sure that you consult your dog’s veterinarian for the proper dosage and deworming drug to use.
5. Hemorrhagic gastroenteritis
Hemorrhagic gastroenteritis is a condition among canines characterized by vomiting and defecating with blood. It can affect any breed, gender, and age of a dog, though it’s most commonly observed in smaller breeds.
Moreover, hemorrhagic gastroenteritis often occurs without warning. This means that your Frenchie may suddenly poop with fresh blood on it even if it appears healthy beforehand.
This condition is often triggered by intestinal ulcers, foreign bodies, trauma, bacterial infection, and blood-clotting disorders. Still, it’s not fully known what triggers this health problem. It’s best to bring your French Bulldog to the veterinarian for proper diagnosis and treatment.
Take note that hemorrhagic gastroenteritis can be life-threatening if not treated early on. This is due to the bleeding and dehydration secondary to vomiting and bloody diarrhea.
Overall, it’s not fully known what causes hemorrhagic gastroenteritis. This makes the condition difficult to prevent among dogs.
One of the hallmark signs of parvovirus in French Bulldogs is bloody stool. It’s an extremely contagious condition, which is often observed in puppies who are yet to receive their vaccinations.
Once a dog contracts parvovirus, the virus will target the canine’s small intestines. It will damage the intestine’s cells, which will disrupt nutrient absorption and destroy the gut barrier. In some cases, parvovirus can also affect the heart and the pup’s bone marrow.
The severity of parvovirus varies across canines. Still, your Frenchie will surely suffer from bloody diarrhea, anorexia, fever, vomiting, and weakness. Overall, puppies younger than six weeks old are the most susceptible to the infection.
Technically, there’s no cure for parvovirus. The only thing the vet can do is provide support for your French Bulldog until its body successfully fights off the virus naturally.
Take note that veterinary care is still crucial for parvovirus infection since the vet will have to assess the potential damage on your Frenchie’s intestinal walls. This is to prevent secondary infections and further bleeding.
Colitis is a condition that refers to the inflammation of a dog’s colon. It will initially manifest through bloody diarrhea (hematochezia) and traces of mucus on the Frenchie’s stool. In some cases, the bloody stool can be hard to pass, which will lead to pain and further bleeding.
Take note that colitis can be a secondary condition to irritable bowel syndrome. It can also be triggered by dietary indiscretion as well as allergies.
French Bulldogs suffering from colitis will also experience increased flatulence, poor appetite, and weight loss. Also, colitis can be recurring and acute.
The treatment for canine colitis varies, depending on what triggered it in the first place. In most cases, the vet will conduct an X-Ray or ultrasound examination to see if your Frenchie ingested foreign objects. Your dog will also be put in a period of fasting to let its digestive system rest and recover.
When it comes to colitis, you have to follow the vet’s orders strictly. This is to prevent the condition from recurring and to clear up the bloody stool of your Frenchie.
8. Inflammatory bowel disease
French Bulldogs are one of the dog breeds with a higher predisposition to irritable bowel disease (IBD). This condition causes vomiting and bloody diarrhea. It’s often caused by irritation in the intestinal tract, including allergies and parasitic infestation.
If not treated, IBD can last for months. This will lead to weight loss and declining health on your French Bulldog. In some cases, affected dogs will start to have a massive appetite as they try to compensate for poor nutrient absorption brought by the disease.
To diagnose IBD, the vet will conduct blood and stool testing. Tissue biopsy may also be necessary to confirm the type of IBD your Frenchie is suffering from.
Like colitis, there’s no absolute cure for inflammatory bowel disease. The vet will provide diet recommendations, medications, and supplementation to help prevent the disease from recurring.
Nevertheless, IBD is rarely a life-threatening condition if treated right away. However, severe cases of IBD can lead to cancer, though this is quite a rarity.
9. Physical trauma
If your French Bulldog doesn’t have a history of health problems mentioned above, the next thing you have to consider is physical trauma. It’s possible that your pooch got hit by a car or it fell from an elevated space.
Injuries due to physical trauma aren’t always easily visible. Some Frenchies won’t show signs of pain until their condition is already worsening.
If your Frenchie injured its digestive tract, it will have bloody stool, which can be bright red or tarry. It all depends on the area of injury.
The only way to confirm gastrointestinal tract trauma is to bring your Frenchie to the vet. At the clinic, the veterinarian will conduct an X-ray examination to see if your pet is suffering from some form of internal injury.
10. Blood-clotting disorders
A French Bulldog pooping blood might be suffering from a blood-clotting disorder. This can cause bleeding in the bowels, nose bleeding, and random bruising. And if the Frenchie underwent surgery, it will experience prolonged bleeding and healing.
However, blood-clotting disorders in dogs aren’t easy to detect. Canines need to have a severe case of blood clotting for the tests to produce a reliable result.
Aside from that, your French Bulldog could suffer from different types of blood-clotting problems. It can be hemophilia or prothrombin disorders with varying factor types.
In this case, the best course of treatment is an intravenous transfusion. It depends on the severity and type of bleeding problem your dog has. In general, there’s no specific treatment or cure for this condition. Most cases can only be managed through life-long veterinary care.
11. Swallowing sharp objects
Ingestion of sharp objects like toys, bone splinters, and foreign matter can also lead to bloody stools in French Bulldogs. Take note that this condition can be life-threatening as the sharp object can puncture the canine’s intestinal tract.
Take note that you should never induce vomiting if you suspect that your Frenchie swallowed a sharp object. Doing so may cause more damage as the sharp object moves abruptly inside your dog’s digestive system.
Instead, you should bring your Frenchie to the vet immediately. While most dogs will suffer from bloody stools in this case, others will fail to defecate as the foreign object blocks their intestinal tracts.
In some cases, Frenchies suffering from this problem will undergo a surgical procedure to remove the sharp object.
12. Improper use of NSAIDs
Lastly, the blood in your Frenchie’s stool might be the effect of improperly administering non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs to your pet.
If your French Bulldog experiences bloody stool, vomiting, yellowing gums, and changes in urination, you should stop the medication right away. Also, you should call the veterinarian immediately as these symptoms indicate an adverse reaction to the drug.
Take note that you should never give paracetamol to your dog if not prescribed by the vet. This drug can be highly toxic and damaging to an animal’s liver. The same goes for medications like ibuprofen, naproxen, aspirin, diclofenac, and so on.
In case your French Bulldog got into your medicine supply and ingested these drugs, you should call the vet right away. If your dog’s vet is out of reach, you can call a pet poison hotline instead.
What to do if your Frenchie is pooping blood?
If you notice blood in your French Bulldog’s stool, the best person to call is the veterinarian. It doesn’t matter if the blood is bright red or black – your dog needs immediate veterinary attention.
You should also keep an eye on other symptoms like vomiting, poor appetite, lethargy, seizures, and behavioral changes. Make sure that you mention all these to the vet since it will help with diagnosis and treatment.
Never try to self-treat your French Bulldog’s bloody stool. Only the vet can diagnose the real cause of the bleeding and how to treat it.
If the vet isn’t readily available, you can call try calling a pet helpline for assistance. These helplines have in-house veterinarians and experts who can give you first-aid instructions for your dog.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is dog pooping blood an emergency?
A: If your dog is pooping blood in large amounts, you have to call the veterinarian immediately. This is an emergency since excessive blood in the stool is far from normal. You should seek immediate veterinary attention, especially if your Frenchie is refusing to eat, vomiting, and is lethargic.
Q: When should I take my dog to the vet if there’s blood in his stool?
A: Basically, you should bring your dog to the vet the moment you discover that it has blood in its stool. This way, your pet will be diagnosed properly and treated right away. Take note that bloody stools can be a sign of a life-threatening situation. It’s best to err on the side of caution and take your Frenchie to the vet immediately.
Q: Why is my dog’s poop reddish-brown?
A: A reddish-brown color on your dog’s poop is a sign of blood. This could mean that bleeding is occurring in the middle of your dog’s digestive tract or somewhere near the large intestine. Meanwhile, stool with fresh blood means that the bleeding is happening in the anal glands or anywhere near the opening of your pet’s anus.
Q: Can I treat my dog’s bloody stool at home?
A: It’s not advisable to perform home remedies on your dog’s bloody stool until you consult your pet’s veterinarian. Also, home remedies may harm your dog more, especially if the cause of bloody stools is already life-threatening.
Q: Will blood in my dog’s stool go away on its own?
A: Some cases of bloody stools in dogs will go away on their own. However, you should still seek the vet’s advice to ensure that it’s not something serious. Also, you have to check whether your dog’s bloody stool is accompanied by pain and other adverse symptoms.
A French Bulldog pooping blood should be given immediate veterinary attention. This condition can be anything from a mild injury to a serious health problem. You’ll never know until the veterinarian performs the necessary tests and examinations.
Take note that when it comes to bleeding problems, time is often your enemy. This is why you should never put off treatment once you notice the symptoms on your Frenchie.

(Regarding “Not so circumspect about circumcision,” Oct. 1 Phoenix:)
As a 74-year-old Jew, I cannot remember my circumcision, but I can say it has not hampered my life. My genitals are intact, and if I may say, have served me very well from birth to current date.
To say circumcision is related to autism is preposterous. If that is the case, I and many other Jewish males would be autistic. I say, "Bull crap." Why is it lately in this PC correct environment. Every "kook" can have their/his/her 15 seconds of fame.
Perhaps I should start the "stop the hemorrhoidectomy" movement. As hemorrhoidectomy does: traumatizes, disfigures and may prevent certain individuals from achieving their potential. Of course, removal of hemorrhoids may allow certain individuals to place their cranial vaults into their anal orifices.
The mention of female circumcision is another matter. It is brutal and affects the woman in many ways and yes, there are many people up in arms trying to prevent this savage disfiguration of women.
So this world does not need foolish movements, but does need movements that will benefit both men and women, and will be based on truth and facts.
Republican Presidential nominee focus of grassroots caucus event in N.H.
Registered New Hampshire Republicans and Undeclared Voters are invited to a fun, free and historic event on Saturday, Oct. 17. The purpose of the first New Hampshire grassroots caucus is to identify the Republican Presidential candidate preferred by a majority of voters and boost that candidate’s chances of winning the N.H. Presidential Primary Election next February.
The caucus will be a fun time with Presidential candidates (all have been invited), rallies, and live music. Come, get information, make campaign contacts, meet other interested voters, discuss issues and candidates, and vote for your favorite candidate(s).
The caucus winner is determined by repeated rounds of voting from a dwindling number of candidates as the candidates with the fewest number of votes are eliminated. Winning the caucus requires a majority of votes cast (unlike a primary election where the winner only needs the most votes).
If NH Primary voters unite behind the caucus winner, then the primary winner will be a candidate that most voters like, even if he/she is not their top choice(s).
The caucus will be held at the Hopkinton Fairgrounds. Doors open at 10 a.m., a photo ID is required. No people are admitted after voting begins at 11:30. For more information and pre-registration (recommended), see: www.603alliance.org.
Join this historic event and help identify the candidate that most N.H. voters want as the Republican Presidential nominee.

A recreation of the missing Doctor Who episode, Mission to the Unknown, will be made available to watch on the official YouTube channel, exactly 54 years to the day of its original transmission on BBC1.
Mission to the Unknown was a one-part prelude to The Daleks’ Master Plan, and is the only story to not feature the Doctor (then played by William Hartnell), except in footage from the previous episode.
We first heard about this remake from Peter Purves, who played original series companion, Steven Taylor, and who revealed he was part of the project by The University of Central Lancashire (UCLan). The episode will further feature Nicholas Briggs as the voice of the Daleks.
The episode will premiere on the Doctor Who YouTube Channel at exactly 5:50pm (BST) on Wednesday 9th October 2019 – that’s a week today!
Alongside Mission to the Unknown, you’ll be able to enjoy a special making-of documentary created by YouTuber, Josh Snares. Presumably this will include a Q&A session with Purves and Edward de Souza (who played Marc Cory in the story).
In our review of the story, we said:
“It must’ve been a surprise for a 1965 audience to have the Daleks return again so soon after The Chase, but they nonetheless add some gravitas to a tale which began as a ‘base-under-siege’ story (where the whole planet is the enemy!). Their inclusion really gives Mission to the Unknown a sense of doom and it’s this fascinating and exhilarating dread that’s kept them popular for over 50 years. You can easily see how they prop up an episode without the Doctor.”
Luke Spillane, Digital Publishing Manager for Doctor Who at BBC Studios, said:
“It is such a fantastic recreation, made lovingly with real craft and expertise by everyone at the University of Central Lancashire. I hope audiences around the world can imagine that it’s tea time on the 9th October 1965 as they rather excitingly watch a black and white episode of Doctor Who premiere on their television sets, mobile phones and tablets.”
Andrew Ireland, Pro-Vice Chancellor of Digital and Creative Industries at the University of Central Lancashire, added:
“It is such a loss to our cultural heritage that so many episodes of 1960s Doctor Who are missing from the BBC archives.
“This project presented us with an exciting opportunity to address that, to explore a new way of bringing these missing slices of TV history to life, and in the process, help students learn their craft by comparing contemporary production methods with historical approaches.
“The project gave so many people great experiences, and it is wonderful to see the Daleks menacing a black and white jungle once more.”
Mission to the Unknown will be on the Doctor Who YouTube channel 5.50pm on Wednesday 9th October 2019. Stick with the DWC because we’ll keep you updated!

JERUSALEM (Jul. 9)
Funeral services were held here today for Prof. Benzion Dinur, a former Minister of Education and one of Israel’s foremost historians, who died yesterday at the, age of 89.
Prof. Dinur, whose name originally was Dina-burg, was born in Russia and came to Palestine in 1921. He was active in the Labor Zionist Movement and in 1936 joined the faculty of the Hebrew University on which he remained for the rest of his life. At the time of his death he was professor emeritus of Jewish history. He also served as president of the Yad Vashem and was chairman of the World Hebrew Union.
Prof. Dinur was Minister of Education in 1954-55. He was considered one of the greatest interpreters of Jewish history and through his researches is credited with proving that since the destruction of the Second Temple there was never a period without a Jewish community in Palestine. He also stated, in a series of essays, that the modern Palestinians came to the country only in the second half of the 19th century as refugees from persecution in Egypt and that their coming coincided with the first Jewish immigration from Europe.

I Went Down opens with a quote from Plato's Republic and ends with a sexual reference more commonly associated with the film's title. What takes place in between is a heady, raucous mixture of these two extremes: a film that's literate, lyrical and insightful, yet still fueled by very basic instincts and a playful sense of fun.
At first seeming like an Irish variation of the type of crime film that flourished in the wake of the Quentin Tarantino tsunami &emdash; lots of tough and funny guy talk punctuated by flashes of ultraviolence &emdash; I Went Down is anything but a mindless clone.
Directed by Paddy Breathnach from a wonderful first screenplay by Dublin playwright Conor McPherson, I Went Down follows the reluctant alliance of two small-time thugs: Git Hynes (Peter McDonald) and Bunny Kelly (Brendan Gleeson). Git is fresh out of prison when he intercedes on behalf of his irresponsible best friend who's being threatened by loan sharks &emdash; an act all the more charitable considering this "friend" hooked up with Git's girlfriend while he was incarcerated.
This puts the usually quiet, affable Git in hot water with the local underworld boss, Tom French (Tony Doyle). Git's penance is a supposedly routine assignment: to travel cross-country and pick up some money from French's associate, Frank Grogan (Peter Caffrey). As a driver and back-up muscle, French sends along the scary (and comic) Bunny Kelly, whose arrowhead sideburns and flashy clothes make him look like a lost teddy boy.
Nothing, of course, is as simple as it initially seems, from Bunny's capabilities to the deep, bitter connection between the stoic French and gregarious Grogan. The filmmakers, who obviously have been influenced by American gangster movies, give their story a fresh perspective by setting the action primarily in rural Ireland, where a bog takes the place of the usual dark alley.
Unmannered, straightforward performances from a terrific cast make McPherson's relentlessly clever, Irish slang-peppered script spring buoyantly to life.
"No goods, no black pudding," says Bunny Kelly espousing his basic philosophy &emdash; "I think you know what I'm talking about." Somehow, you do.

It’s the biggest show on TV right now and has catapulted Elizabeth Olsen to a level of fame that’s eclipsed her twin sisters, Mary-Kate and Ashley. GLAMOUR’s Entertainment Director & Assistant Editor Emily Maddick meets the down-to-earth ‘Lizzie’ for a candid chat on everything from social media to sorcery, what her siblings have taught her and what female power means to her.
Winding down quintessential English country lanes to the GLAMOUR April digital cover shoot – the first IRL in over a year – with Elizabeth Olsen, superstar of WandaVision, there is a palpable sense of excitement in the air. The theme of this issue is ‘fresh start’ and despite the onset drizzle, one can feel the sense of optimism and hope as the UK starts to open up for spring after our long, long winter of lockdown.
Elizabeth has been living in leafy Richmond [she ‘loves’ it] with her musician fiancé Robbie Arnett since October, while filming another Marvel franchise, Dr Strange 2, alongside Benedict Cumberbatch. “It’s a bonkers movie, they’re definitely going for that horror show vibe,” she tells me.
She’s especially looking forward to her local Petersham Nurseries restaurant opening up again, but today she is being photographed in the beautiful grounds of a 17th century mill house in Surrey. Her appearance in a patterned fuchsia Schiaparelli trouser suit and magenta tie-dyed Christian Dior denim corduroy suit against the backdrop of the English country garden is almost as marvellously incongruous as her portrayal of Wandavision's suburban ‘housewife’ Wanda Maximoff’s use of magic to make plates fly across the kitchen or rustle up three-course dinners at the click of a finger.
Indeed, the ‘fresh start’ theme for her GLAMOUR cover is a fitting theme for Wanda. For those uninitiated in the complexities of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s latest offering, each episode of WandaVision blends the style of classic sitcoms through the ages (think Bewitched, The Brady Bunch right up to Modern Family) with Marvel characters, Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch and Vision (co-star Paul Bettany.) It takes place following the events of 2019’s film Avengers: Endgame with the two super-powered beings making a fresh start in an idyllic suburbia as husband and wife, but suspecting that everything is not as it seems. Spoiler Alert! It’s not… and the fantasy starts to unravel – along with Wanda herself.

“With the cutting of the umbilical cord, physical attachment to our mothers ends and emotional and psychological attachment begins” (Azar). From the very beginning, infants need someone to comfort them when they are scared, feed them when they are hungry, and take care of them when they are sick. Without this attachment, many developmental problems occur and those children have problems coping with everyday issues. Throughout the story Frankenstein and through much more research, it can be seen that mothers play an important role in the psychological and social development of children.
From conception to about 3 years of age, not only is the infant’s brain and nervous system developing, but also the psychological formation of their bodies. At this point in their lives, they begin to learn about their relationships with others and whom they can trust. The one relationship that needs the most strengthening during this time is the one between mother and child. Ever since that child was in the mother’s womb, he or she has had a strong connection with his or her mother. The child can recognize his or her mother’s voice and even sense her emotions. Once the infant is born and the nasal passages are cleaned out, they can even recognize their mother’s smell. From this point on, the process of creating ties between mother and infant has begun (Feinberg). Whenever that child has a need and the mother responds to it, that attachment between her and her child is strengthened dramatically. If a mother doesn’t ignore any of the child’s situations and always comes to comfort her child, they will be able to trust their mother to help them in almost any circumstance. This mutual bond is extremely important to the child because it helps to insure protection and safety for them through their mother. This in turn gives the child confidence in earthly situations. Through this relationship, the child learns empathy and compassion which helps in developing relationships with other...

Brazil’s federal police launched an operation on Monday to investigate fraud at pension funds of major state-run companies, carrying out seven arrest warrants, over a hundred search warrants and freezing assets worth 8 billion reais ($2.46 billion), police said in a statement.
The pension funds under investigation are those of state-run banks Caixa [CEF.UL] and Banco do Brasil, oil company Petrobras and postal service Correios, the police said.
The funds did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
The warrants were issued by a judge in the capital of Brasilia, with police operations being executed in eight states as well as the federal district of Brasilia.
Police said the investigation was focused on 10 cases which had racked up losses worth billions of reais (dollars). Of these, eight were related to reckless or fraudulent investments made through connected investment funds, police said.

This past Saturday evening some of my friends joined me for a small rooftop dinner party to celebrate the one-year anniversary of this blog. Really it was more of an excuse to gather the flock and sample some amazing champagne paired with great food. France’s number one champagne company Nicolas Feuillatte threw the fete and were gracious enough to keep us doused in champagne all through the night. We paired the non-stop bubbly with our meal at Le Petit Ermitage which has been one of my favorite places to go in LA since they opened three years ago. Though I admit I liked it more in the beginning when the rooftop wasn’t members only and I could play hooky on a Tuesday afternoon and have the pool all to myself… Anyway, it was an amazing night, the champagne is phenomenal and I love my friends for coming out to support, eat and drink with me. Not everyone I love was there but the ones that made it are below…
The other honoree tonight… Champagne Nicolas Feuillatte

On October 1, the Kentucky Department of Education released the 2018-19 school accountability data. Kentucky has been transitioning to a new accountability system since February 2018. Kentucky’s accountability system has students at its center to ensure that all students are well-rounded, transition ready, and prepared with the knowledge, skills, and essential dispositions that they will need to be successful after they graduate from high school. The accountability system uses multiple academic and school quality measures. The current accountability system includes six indicators: Proficiency, Separate Academic Indicator, Growth, Graduation, Transition Readiness, and Quality of School Climate and Safety (beginning in 2019-20). The scores from these indicators are combined to provide each school with an overall accountability score. Beginning this year, each school and district will be assigned an Overall Rating of one to five stars (five being the highest score) based on the overall score of combined school level measures and indicators.
The 5 Star Rating for elementary and middle schools is based on three indicators: proficiency, separate academic, and growth. The proficiency indicator score is based on students’ performance on the reading and math tests. The separate academic indicator score is based on student performance on the science, social studies, and writing tests. The growth indicator score is based on a comparison of student scores from one year to the next in reading and mathematics. The growth indicator also includes the progress of English learners on the language proficiency exam.
The 5 Star rating for high schools is based on four indicators: proficiency, separate academic, graduation rate, and transition readiness. The proficiency indicator score is based on students’ performance on the reading and math tests. The separate academic indicator score is based on student performance on the science and writing tests. The graduation rate indicator score is based on the percentage of students who graduate from high school in 4 or 5 years. The transition readiness indicator score gives students the flexibility to demonstrate either academic or career readiness although a student may choose to pursue both readiness areas. In addition, students may demonstrate transition readiness in multiple ways.
The new accountability system also takes Achievement Gaps into account. Achievement Gap means the difference between how well one student group compares to another student group. If there is a significant gap, a 4 or 5 Star school/district will be decreased by one star.
McKee Elementary received a 5 Star Rating (Overall score 79.7). Jackson County High School (Overall Score 73.9) and Sand Gap Elementary (Overall Score 72.9) received a 4 Star Rating. Tyner Elementary received a 3 Star Rating (Overall Score 64.5), and Jackson County Middle School received a 2 Star Rating (53.7).
The schools celebrated the student’s accomplishments and treated them to inflatables and movies. JCHS Principal Brian Harris wrote: “JCHS received a 4 star ranking based on the state’s 2018-19 accountability system, which is awesome!!!! The school is ranked 38th out of the 226 high schools in Kentucky. In the 13th region, which has a total of 17 high schools, JCHS ranked 3rd. We are very proud of the hard work that our students and staff put forth to accomplish this achievement and we will continue to strive for improvement in all areas. Looking at the preliminary results, our transition readiness score may be in the top 10 of the state again. Based on this great news, on Wednesday, October 2nd, there will be a school-wide celebration that includes inflatables, movies and food. A special thank you goes out to all of “General Nation” and it is a great day to be a General!”
Principal Timmy Truett reported, “We cannot express our excitement about this accomplishment. To be named a 5-Star school is a distinction reserved for only 37 out of 725 elementary schools. We realize this is not only amazing but a true honor. Being ranked in the top 5% of the state elementary schools is not an easy task and we are determined to continue our high achieving status.”
Sand Gap Elementary reported, “Sand Gap Elementary is proud to be a Kentucky 4-Star School! We are blessed with a dedicated staff, family support and awesome TIGERS!”

“A funny and informative account of life in Guizhou province, deep in the heart of China. As a Peace Corps volunteer, Michael Levy came to know and love a part of the country that few visitors see, a world away from Beijing and Shanghai.” ―Peter Hessler, author of River Town and Oracle Bones
“As a Peace Corps volunteer, Michael Levy taught for two years in a corner of China overlooked by tourists and correspondents. Kosher Chinese is a heartfelt, engaging memoir that captures at once the poignancy and humor of daily life in the new China. Levy's narrative balances his own acclimation to China with his students' acclimation to university life, and independence. This is what it feels like to be immersed behind the headlines--for Levy, it came to feel like home.” ―Michael Meyer, author of The Last Days of Old Beijing: Life in the Vanishing Backstreets of a City Transformed
“Michael Levy is the tour guide to the real China we all long for. Funny, insightful, full of warmth and wit, Kosher Chinese brims with interesting characters and scenes, and it marks the debut of a fresh new voice in American writing.” ―Bruce Feiler, author of Walking the Bible and The Council of Dads
“With intelligence and zesty good humor, Levy tells the story of his sojourn as an ESL teacher in Guiyang… A rollicking, thoroughly refreshing debut.” ―Kirkus
“As in Peter Hessler's River Town…and Peter J. Vernezze's Socrates in Sichuan…, Peace Corps experience is the inspiration for Levy's cheekier and freewheeling but insightful adventure story.” ―Library Journal

The gold standard for such a book is River Town: Two Years on the Yangtze (P.S.) by Peter Hessler, who has contributed a blurb endorsing this book to the promotional material. (Hessler journeyed into the interior of China with the Peace Corps in the mid-90s; Levy did so a decade later, and while the two volunteers did not serve in the same regionk a side-by-side comparison of the authors' experiences is a useful way to track China's rural development in the intervening years.) It's a tearfully poignant tale of cross-cultural friendship and a chronicling of an ancient society in transition.
As for this book, the rather flip title and especially the kitschy cover illustration had me worried that this would read more like a cheap parody. But one shouldn't judge a book by its cover; it wasn't long before I realized that Kosher Chinese is, both intellectually and emotionally, every bit the equal of River Town. And that's high praise indeed.
The book strikes a slightly goofy tone, especially in the opening chapters, but that's only because the author is faithfully recounting his first impressions of a new culture; and when one is making the acquaintance of a society quite different from one's own, there are many times when one must simply bow to the absurd.Read more ›
All this said, it is a funny and poignant story. Here is a teacher who wants to give his best in a system where his methods and aims are, to put it mildly, out of step with the prevailing idea of pedagogy. And here is a human being intent on establishing genuine relationships while holding on to his own values, if not the precise rules, of his own culture. For such a gentle story, there is a surprising amount of tension.
In the end, the author is able to draw together disparate threads such as basketball, post-modern literature, and rural poverty. It is a strangely cohesive story, a crazy quilt held together by the author's frame of reference and point of view. I enjoyed it and, at a time when China's prominence is poised to eclipse the USA's, I learned from it.
The book proceeds through his amazing experience in China. He specifically lived in a small village, and experienced the generational shift from pure communism to "Socialism with Chinese Characteristics". While the older generation relies on government-provided everything, the younger generation frets about getting jobs, buying houses, and getting mortgages. He discovers a studious people who can learn and memorize every aspect of a subject, but lack the critical thinking ability to question if everything written in their books is true. And while American sensitivites view all Chinese the same, Levy documents the class struggles and ethnic racism that cuts through Chinese society.
All the while, we join Levy as he becomes a part of the people he teaches (he even tries dog meat!). The book is full of great analogies to familiar Western Media (Lost, The Matrix, Star Wars, Left Behind) and humor over how he handled uncomfortable situations (like a student giving herself an English name that referred to a part of the female body).
The book is a quick read, but I learned a surprising amount from such an entertaining book. I highly recommend it to you for learning a bit about China and for enjoying a unique perspective on the country.
