Dave and Brenda Tenison, of McMurray, liken their 18-year marriage to climbing a summit – it takes work, but it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
And they would know.
The Tenisons returned last month from climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, East Africa. It was six days up and two days back, 43 miles and an elevation of 19,341 feet. Mt. Kilimanjaro is the world’s tallest free-standing mountain, and it was the first Brenda had ever climbed.
“I’d do it again,” she said. “I had never done anything like that before, so now I know I can do whatever.”
Dave, general manager of the Perryman Company, had been mountaineering, rock climbing and ice climbing for decades.
“I was worried she was going to hate me,” he said. “But she impressed the heck out of me.”
She’s been impressing the heck out of him since the first day they met in August of 2000 at a NASCAR race in Michigan. She lived in Michigan, while he lived in Pittsburgh.
For their first date that September, they agreed to meet in Chicago, as Dave was in town for a machine tool show. The one condition was he had to pay for her to have a hotel room, which was very expensive and difficult to find considering the convention in town.
“Dave was a gentleman, and it was the most expensive first date he’s ever had,” she said.
“But actually,” he responded, “it was priceless.”
They were married eight months later.
Dave proposed to her on Christmas Eve that year, and exactly 19 years later to the day, they started climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro.
Living on the mountain for eight days was more difficult than the actual climbing, Brenda said, with getting little sleep in tents on rocky ground to not being able to bathe. They started their hike in rain forest conditions and ended in arctic weather and high altitude air quality. They had a guide and porters to carry the majority of their food and supplies.
Parts of the climb were also very steep, slippery and looked more like rock climbing than hiking. These portions were terrifying to Brenda, she said, but she was determined to not be the reason they had to abort the climb, “especially since this was his dream,” she said.
“I was in my 20s when I said I would climb Kilimanjaro someday,” Dave said. “Two years ago, at 58, I decided that I wanted to use this as a goal to get in shape and be young at 60. Overall, it exceeded my expectations, but it was tougher than I thought.”
The couple trained together for a year, hiking areas in Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia. They even used weighted vests while hiking the hills in their own neighborhood to condition for the trip.
That training paid off on the sixth day of their climb, or “summit day.”
The couple rested in the afternoon and woke up at 11 p.m. to start a six-hour overnight hike to the summit, Uhuru Peak – the tallest peak of Mt. Kilimanjaro. It was very dark, 15 degrees with 20 mph winds.
“That’s when all the frozen rock and ice and snow stay frozen,” Brenda said. “Once the sun hits, it could melt and start falling on you. All the way up, you’re trying not to get hurt, you’re trying not to rip anything, you’re trying not to get any digestive sicknesses and be very careful. Once we hit the summit, it was complete relief.”
The Tenisons completed their hike on New Year’s Eve, and soon after used it to raise money for Washington City Mission, where they’ve been volunteering for years. They set up a GoFundMe page and campaigned for people to donate to the City Mission a penny per meter of their hike. So far, the campaign raised more than $1,400.
“We wanted to make it more than just a climb,” Dave said. “There are similarities between climbing a mountain and recovering from addiction. Climbing a mountain is like step by step, and recovery can be taking it minute by minute.”
The Mission’s chief development officer, Sally Mounts, called the Tenisons “phenomenal supporters,” since Dave serves on the Mission’s board of directors and Brenda has led several galas and events.
“They are also very generous donors, and this climb to the top of Mt. Kilimanjaro was a special way to blend their passion for City Mission with their love for travel and adventure,” Mounts said in an emailed statement. “We knew they would reach the top. They accomplish everything they set out to do, and then some.”
The Tenisons are already planning their next adventure. They’ve been traveling together for 18 years with a goal to see all seven continents and all 50 states. They each have five continents under their belts and Brenda needs to visit 14 more states to reach their goal. The only state Dave has yet to see is Hawaii.
“It’s not all flowers and rainbows,” Brenda said. “There’s a lot that goes into having a great marriage – it is a climb. We think marriage is the best thing on this earth.”
Jury selection began Monday morning in Washington County Court in the trial of two members of the Pagans motorcycle club who are accused of attempted homicide in the beating of a former club member last year in Charleroi.
Additional summonses were mailed to ensure a large pool of potential jurors.
Judge John DiSalle is presiding at the trial of Joseph Olinsky III, 46, of McKeesport, and Matthew Vasquez, 31, of Monessen.
Troy Harris, 54, was injured the night of April 18 inside the Slovak Club, 700 McKean Ave.
Harris was formerly a Pagan, but left at some point and joined the offshoot Sutars Soldiers Motorcycle Club.
The victim was unconscious when he was hospitalized at Allegheny General, Pittsburgh. He spent several months as a patient and in various other care facilities, using a cane and undergoing speech therapy because of the extent of his injuries.
One member of the Pagans is cooperating with the government. So are several nonmembers who are charged with having been involved.
The jury selection process continued throughout the day Monday and beyond the usual courthouse closing time of 4:30 p.m.
Deputy District Attorneys Jason Walsh and Leslie Ridge are prosecuting the case. Olinsky is represented by Renee Colbert and Vasquez’s attorney is Stephen Colafella.
DES MOINES, Iowa – Iowa voters packed caucus sites across the state Monday night as Democrats balanced a strong preference for fundamental change with an overwhelming desire to defeat President Donald Trump in the opening contest of the 2020 presidential primary season.
State party officials were counting votes amid reports of strong turnout in some precincts, with at least four leading candidates battling for the chance to take on Trump in November. Iowa’s first-in-the-nation caucuses have been expected to provide some clarity for what has been a muddled nomination fight for much of the last year.
The caucuses offered the opening test suggesting who and what the party stands for in the turbulent age of Trump. It’s just the first in a primary season that will span all 50 states and several U.S. territories, ending only at the party’s national convention in mid-July.
For Democrats, the moment was thick with promise for a party that has seized major gains in states since Trump won the White House in 2016. But instead of clear optimism, a cloud of uncertainty and intraparty resentment hung over Monday’s election as the prospect of an unclear result raised fears of a long and divisive primary fight in the months ahead.
The candidates fanned out across the state to rally their supporters.
“I’m the one who can pull our party together,” Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren told supporters on a telephone call before voting began, suggesting her rivals could not. They said they were the ones to bring unity.
One unsurprising development: Trump won the Republican caucus, a largely symbolic victory given that he faced no significant opposition.
Polls suggested that Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders might have a narrow lead, but any of the top four candidates – Sanders, former Vice President Joe Biden, Warren and former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg – could score a victory in Iowa’s unpredictable and quirky caucus system as organizers prepared for record turnout. Sen. Amy Klobuchar, who represents neighboring Minnesota, was also claiming momentum, while outsider candidates including entrepreneur Andrew Yang, billionaire activist Tom Steyer and Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard could be factors.
Roughly two-thirds of Iowa caucusgoers said supporting a candidate who would fundamentally change how the system in Washington works was important to their vote, according to AP VoteCast, a survey of voters who said they planned to take part in Monday’s Democratic caucuses.
That compared to about a third of caucusgoers who said it was more important to support a candidate who would restore the political system to how it was before Trump’s election in 2016.
Not surprisingly, nearly every Iowa Democrat said the ability to beat Trump was an important quality for a presidential nominee. VoteCast found that measure outranked others as the most important quality for a nominee.
Iowa Democrats also reported two major issues dominating their thoughts: health care and climate change.
By midday Monday, a handful of satellite caucuses had already taken place–some thousands of miles away from Iowa. In Glasgow, Scotland, Sanders received the most support from the 19 caucus-goers who attended, while Warren came in second and Buttigieg came in third. No other candidates were viable.
In Iowa, some 200,000 voters were expected.
Three senators in the field left Iowa late Sunday to return to the U.S. Capitol for Trump’s impeachment trial, but did what they could to keep their campaigns going from Washington. While Warren held her telephone town hall, Klobuchar’s husband and daughter appeared at a canvass launch in Des Moines.
In suburban Des Moines, Buttigieg delivered about 100 volunteers a last shot of encouragement before they stepped out into the chill to knock on doors for him around midday Monday.
“We are exactly where we need to be to astonish the political world,” he said, igniting cheers for the 38-year-old former midsize-city mayor, who was an asterisk a year ago and is now among the top candidates.
Meanwhile, Biden and his wife, Jill, delivered pizza Monday to a few dozen volunteers working the phones at his south Des Moines field office.
“I feel good,” he said as he walked in, sporting his signature aviator sunglasses.
Iowa offers just a tiny percentage of the delegates needed to win the nomination but plays an outsize role in culling primary fields. A poor showing in Iowa could cause a front-runner’s fundraising to slow and support in later states to dwindle, while a strong result can give a candidate much needed momentum.
The past several Democrats who won the Iowa caucuses went on to clinch the party’s nomination.
The 2020 fight has played out over myriad distractions, particularly congressional Democrats’ push to impeach Trump, which has often overshadowed the primary and effectively pinned several leading candidates to Washington at the pinnacle of the early campaign season.
Meanwhile, ultrabillionaire Mike Bloomberg, the former mayor of New York City, is running a parallel campaign that ignores Iowa as he prepares to pounce on any perceived weaknesses in the field come March.
The amalgam of oddities, including new rules for reporting the already complicated caucus results, was building toward what could be a murky Iowa finale before the race pivots quickly to New Hampshire, which votes just eight days later.
New party rules may give more than one candidate an opportunity to claim victory in Iowa, even if they aren’t the official winner.
For the first time, the Iowa Democratic Party reported three sets of results at the end of the state’s first-in-the-nation caucuses: a tally of caucus-goers’ initial candidate preference; vote totals from the “final alignment” after supporters of lower-ranking candidates were able to make a second choice, and the total number of State Delegate Equivalents each candidate receives.
There is no guarantee that all three will show the same winner.
The Associated Press will declare a winner based on the number of state delegates each candidate wins, which has been the traditional standard.
Many of the Democratic presidential candidates have possible weaknesses when challenging Trump, VoteCast found.
Some 4 in 10 Iowa voters said it would be harder for a woman to unseat the president. Almost 6 in 10 said a gay candidate would have more difficulty defeating Trump, a potential risk for Buttigieg. Roughly the same share said a nominee with “strongly liberal views” would also face a harder time, while close to half said a nominee older than 75 – Biden and Sanders – would have a tougher time versus Trump.

Operation Twist, or Operation Shout?
Op Twist and demand
The Federal Reserve announced further efforts to stimulate the U.S. economy yesterday by reapportioning the maturity of the bonds in its $2.6 trillion portfolio. The operation has been dubbed “Operation Twist” because it twists the yield curve by raising short-term rates and lowering long-term rates. This is another attempt by the Fed to goose consumers into spending and borrowing at higher levels in the hopes that it will increase demand and get the national economic engine running at a higher speed. Reuters reports:
The Federal Reserve’s latest effort to push down long-term U.S. borrowing costs may not do much for the central bank’s main worry — persistently high unemployment that could leave lasting scars on the economy.
Economists are increasingly anxious that the 9.1 percent jobless rate in the United States could become entrenched, as the skills of those out of work atrophy and their connections to the job market wane, sidelining them and chipping away at the U.S. economy’s capacity to produce.
The idea behind the move, nicknamed by investors as “Operation Twist” after a similar policy in the 1960s, is to push down long-term borrowing costs to encourage mortgage refinancing and consumer and business borrowing.
Undoubtedly Operation Twist will lower rates that municipal bond issuers will pay to raise new money and it’s likely that we will see a rush to refinance their higher interest bonds. The action will also cause municipal bonds that are already outstanding to rise in value. But the biggest question I have is will Op Twist stimulate demand from consumers? When we get the next set of quarterly state sales tax data from the Rockefeller Institute, will we see that consumers have loosened their purse strings and that they feel more confident about the their economic future? That is the true goal of the Fed’s actions to jump-start the animal spirits, which are so vital to economic recovery. So maybe a better name for the program would have been “Operation Shout.”
MSRB wants financial advisor pay details
In July the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board published a proposal to undertake a survey on the sources and income levels of municipal financial advisors. It was allegedly done to make some determinations on how to set the proper annual fee assessment for muni FAs. But I have a feeling it was equally geared to getting more detailed information about the levels and form of municipal advisor compensation. This would be very useful data for municipalities to have as they evaluate and engage FAs to assist them with bond and derivatives financings. I’m all for this effort as the added transparency could greatly benefit municipal issuers. From an excellent article in the Bond Buyer:
The survey asks firms to disclose their total gross income from muni advisory activities between Jan. 1, 2011, and Dec. 31, 2011, as well as gross income realized from advisory business by FAs, swap advisors, guaranteed investment contract brokers, placement agents, solicitors and third-party marketers.
It also asks for gross income from non-advisory business, as well as data about advisor compensation, including the total amounts received from fixed fees, hourly fees, retainers, and transaction-size-based fees. Firms would have to disclose the amount of any fee that was contingent on completing a transaction.
The survey also seeks data about average fee and transaction size for new-issue offerings, remarketings, private placements, swaps, derivatives, GIC brokerage, and third-party solicitations.
Bank of North Dakota
The magazine In These Times has an excellent article about Oregon considering the possibility of creating a “state public bank” modeled on the 92-year-old Bank of North Dakota, the nation’s only sovereign state bank. In North Dakota the state deposits tax dollars into the Bank, which in turn lends these deposits to community banks and others for commercial, agricultural and student loans. The Bank specifically targets local borrowers to strengthen and stabilize the local economy because most national banks don’t want to lend locally unless it’s to very large commercial borrowers. From In These Times:
The state bank’s participation would expand the amount of money community banks could loan to finance small business needs. For example, the Center for State Innovation, affiliated with the University of Wisconsin, calculates that an Oregon state bank would raise annual lending by about $1.3 billion, generate about 5,400 new jobs and cost the state nothing, while bringing in $69 million in earnings to the state general fund over a decade.
A state bank would also likely boost confidence in lending during uncertain times. For example, from 2007 to 2009, when the national credit crunch was tightest and bank lending dropped farther than it had in 70 years, BND increased business lending by 35 percent, helping to counter the downturn.
The presence of more state banks in the United States could have hugely positive effects: increased lending to local and small businesses, less concentrated banking, more resilient responses to economic crises, more jobs, more state revenue and more local control of the economy.
The Bank of North Dakota is also independent from the national financial system. From the Bank’s website:
In contrast to most commercial banks, Bank of North Dakota (BND) is not a member of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). North Dakota Century Code 6-09-10 provides that all BND deposits are guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the State of North Dakota.
The deposit base of BND is unique. Its primary deposit base is the State of North Dakota. All state funds and funds of state institutions are deposited with Bank of North Dakota, as required by law. Other deposits are accepted from any source, private citizens to the U.S. government.
There are many creative ways to strengthen local economies and jump start-growth. We’ve grown accustomed to relying on federal institutions to repair our economy but maybe part of the solution is local.

O'Sullivan creating major league legacy
A byproduct of Florida’s success in baseball in eight seasons under coach Kevin O’Sullivan can be seen on major league diamonds throughout the country.
Former UF pitcher Brian Johnson became the ninth player under O’Sullivan to reach the majors when he was called up by the Boston Red Sox late last week.
“It makes you feel good,” O’Sullivan said. “Obviously, they were very talented players before they came to Florida. We’re just one part of the whole process.”
Johnson was part of a talented core of players from 2010-12 that helped lead the Gators to three straight trips to the College World Series. Another player from that group, former UF first baseman/outfielder Preston Tucker, made his major league debut with the Houston Astros earlier this spring and is batting .256 with five home runs and 21 RBIs.
Seattle Mariners catcher Mike Zunino (.160, nine homers, 20 RBIs), Washington Nationals outfielder Matt den Dekker (.208, one homer, three RBIs), Cincinnati Reds pitcher Anthony DeSclafani (5-6, 3.65 ERA) are other members of the 2010-12 Gators currently on big-league rosters. Pitcher Steven Rodriguez (Los Angeles Dodgers) is on the disabled list after undergoing elbow surgery last month, while pitcher Kevin Chapman (Houston Astros) had a brief major-league stint earlier this spring before being sent down to Triple-A Fresno.
O’Sullivan led UF back to the CWS for the fourth time in the last six seasons this past June.
“We knew we had a special group in ’10, ’11 and ’12, very similar to the group we have now,” O’Sullivan said. “And I would be anticipate the guys that we have on our club right now, the incoming guys, they’ll probably follow the same type of trend with us, probably help us have a lot of success as well.”
Florida shortstop Richie Martin was a first-round pick by the Oakland Athletics this past June and has begun his pro baseball career. Outfielder Harrison Bader, a third-round pick by the St. Louis Cardinals, also has started his pro baseball journey.
After next season, Florida pitchers A.J. Puk and Logan Shore could join Martin and Bader as high-round MLB draft picks with a fast track to the big leagues.
“Even though it’s bittersweet when you lose a player, that’s why these kids start playing at such a young age,” O’Sullivan said. “It’s to hopefully get a chance to play professional baseball, to hopefully get a chance to play in the big leagues.”
O’Sullivan said that former Gators who played under him in the majors and minors reach out to him from time to time if they need advice.
“For the most part, they’re so busy,” O’Sullivan said. “It’s a long season. I usually see them more during football season when they come up for a football game, we’ll see them. A lot of guys come back in January before they go to spring training, but we try to stay in touch with as many as those guys as possible.”
Other former Gators currently in the majors include infielder Cole Figueroa (New York Yankees), catcher David Ross (Chicago Cubs), outfielder Ryan Raburn (Cleveland Indians) and Baltimore Orioles pitcher Darren O’Day (Baltimore Orioles). O’Day was named the American League All-Star team, but did not pitch in the game last Tuesday in Cincinnati.
O’Sullivan said a number of people deserve credit in helping develop former and current UF players, including assistant coaches Craig Bell and Brad Weitzel, strength coach Paul Chandler and team trainers.
“Of course it helps recruiting because it’s a big selling point,” O’Sullivan said. “These kids come to Florida (because) they want an education, they want to win national championships. Obviously, they also want to play in the major leagues someday.”

Imagine my surprise when I went to my PO Box today and opened a package that had packets of charm squares just for me. Tara Lynn Darr knows what I love--precut squares! Pretty ones! So exciting. And perfect for my small scrappy quilts and especially good for making my doll quilt club quilts. Tara said she enjoyed my recent post about Ugly Squares and couldn't resist sending me some squares. She's hosting a Charm Square exchange on her website.
Tara is so sweet. I buy bundles and charm squares from her whenever I run into her booth at a quilt show. Some of my best quilts are scrap quilts made with lots of different prints. Some of you have e-mailed me asking where to get "pretty" fabrics like I use in my quilts. If you're looking for some great reproduction fabrics, and you want to collect lots of "scraps" for making your small quilts, check out the charm packs and bundles at her store - Sew Unique Creations . They're great for making those small scrappy quilts with lots of little pieces. Tara, I forgot to ask, do I really have to send 300+ squares back to you now??
Everyone had an opinion about my recent Ugly Squares post:
- "You need some ugly colors to make the pretty ones stand out."
- "A fabric by itself may look horrendous, but when paired with another fabric, it looks great."
- "Reading your post I can't seem to find the ugly fabrics . . ."
- "Ugly prints make the most interesting quilts."
Okay, it's like this. I'm sorry, I'm still not there yet. I know it's a matter of opinion, and sure they're not really ugly ugly, but even though some of them are blue, I still don't like them very well. And I know everyone says we're supposed to throw a couple of ugly squares into the mix but I like my pretty squares too much! I just can't deliberately buy "ugly prints." No way. If I get some ugly squares along with others in a charm pack, I'll use them in a quilt. Maybe. But I won't buy yardage I don't like. I'm not a convert yet.
Really pretty squares
I've made a lot of really cute scrap quilts using pretty fabrics that I chose one by one because I loved the prints. This is the fun part!
So maybe sometime in the future I'll try making my quilts with more ugly fabrics, but for now I think I'm just going to stick to using my "pretty squares" to make my pretty quilts.

We’ve loved Dove Cameron for a real long time. It’s been so awesome to see her distance herself from her Disney Channel days and really prove herself in the music industry. As an artist!
Girl Like Me is perhaps the best song she’s ever released!
It’s built around an awesome reworking of Edwyn Collins‘s 1994 hit A Girl Like You.
This is pop but it also feels indie and rock!
AND sonically her voice and the production is also reminding us of Selena Gomez, a Perezcious fave!

Corah Ann Robertson Sylvester elected SAJ president
Corah Ann Robertson Sylvester was elected president of the Shipping Association of Jamaica (SAJ) during its annual general meeting on Friday, November 17.
Robertson Sylvester, the chief executive officer of Seaboard Freight and Shipping Jamaica Limited, becomes the second woman to hold the position in the organisation’s 85-year history. She previously served as vice-president for the past three years and has been a director since 2005.
She is one of four women leading a national shipping organisation in the Caribbean, joining Clarivette Diaz of the Puerto Rico Shipping Association; Erica Luke of the Shipping Association of Barbados; and Sonja Voisin from the Trinidad and Tobago Shipping Association.
For the better part of three decades, Robertson Sylvester served in various capacities at the local and regional level. In 2003, she became the first woman to be elected president of the Caribbean Shipping Association, a distinction she still holds. Robertson Sylvester is chairperson of the Maritime Authority of Jamaica and a member of the Caribbean Maritime University’s Council. For her sterling contribution to the industry, the SAJ inducted her into its Hall of Fame in 2021.
Following her election, Robertson Sylvester said, “It is a great honour and a privilege to serve an organisation that at 85 years old, has a legacy of service (and) vast contribution to one of the most vibrant business groups in any economy.
“The port community is very vibrant and important to any country, and it is through this association that we will promote our contributions and partner with the wider business community to continue our growth.”
Efforts to improve the Newport West shipping district and increase training and development offerings to the SAJ’s members are chief among her focus areas. “The physical appearance of the community will continue to be on the agenda for the SAJ. Previous presidents have worked tirelessly, but we cannot give up. We have to continue, and I am pledging to knock on every door and engage everyone to further this process.”
Regarding training, she added: “If our membership group is not at an international level, then we could find ourselves unable to attract the kind of business to Jamaica that we want. The SAJ has good partnerships with the Caribbean Maritime University, which is training young professionals to come into the workforce. (For its part), the SAJ will continue to train our community in practical things that they would not necessarily get training for at university, for example, the Data Protection Act, for which we ran a number of programmes to sensitise our membership.” The SAJ also offered courses on artificial intelligence, International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code, customer service excellence, among others, this year.

The resorts in Los Cabos are second to none. With luxurious accommodations and great prices, it's no wonder why Los Cabos is a top destination for many U. S. travelers.
But with the recent rise in violent crime in certain areas, travelers may be wondering if it's safe to visit Cabo San Lucas. At the tip of the Baja California peninsula, Cabo San Lucas is one of Mexico's most famous destinations, offering travelers an escape paradise for everything from family vacations to weddings and spring break parties. The State Department recently issued an updated travel advisory to Mexico regarding U. tourists traveling to Mexico, giving it a Level 2 travel advisory on a scale of 1 to 4, which means “proceed with caution”.
Parts of Mexico where drug cartel violence is at its worst have been on the do not go list, with a level 4 warning not to go. Mexico has confirmed 60 cases of smallpox, but there have been no deaths from monkeypox in Mexico. People with monkeypox have a rash that may be located on or near the genitals (penis, testicles, lips and vagina) or anus (eyelet) and could be in other areas, such as the hands, feet, chest, face, or mouth. Symptoms of monkeypox usually begin within 3 weeks of exposure to the virus and usually last 2 to 4 weeks.
The U. government advises all citizens to exercise greater caution in the state of Baja California Sur, which includes the tourist areas of Cabo San Lucas, San José del Cabo and La Paz. While there are travel restrictions elsewhere in Mexico, Los Cabos and the entire state of Baja California Sur have no travel restrictions, but they do have less severe travel restrictions to Mexico in Cabo. Most non-citizen visitors to the U.
will still have to show proof of vaccination against Covid-19 before flying to the US. Your safety in Cabo San Lucas is a top priority for Los Cabos tourism, so if anything happens, your resort and the appropriate authorities will help you resolve any issues and answer any questions about safety in Mexico. While exploring the city, be careful and avoid displaying a large amount of money or wearing expensive jewelry. These items, as well as important travel documents, can be kept in your safe at the resort. If you're going out at night, stay with a group and don't go on your own, especially if you're a woman. While Mexico is safe, you should take safety precautions no matter where you travel - it's important to keep them in mind even in Cabo San Lucas.

There are mixed answers on the subject, but the majority are a resounding "Yes".
I am briefly going to highlight some of the reasons why. Most owners are not feeding their dogs a well-balanced good quality dog food. Therefore, dogs are not receiving vitamins and minerals they need.
There are an abundance roughly 120 or more of vitamins and supplements advertised as being "All" beneficial to the growing needs of puppy developments. These can be overwhelming and even confusing in choosing, "Which one is best". So, I did some research and looked up vitamins and one brand listed I noticed was a supplement called, NuVet Vitamins and it was the most listed vitamin among breeders and surfing the web as "the best supplement". So, out of sheer curiosity I wanted to look up this NuVet and compare it against other named Vitamin companies to see, Just what makes this the best vitamin out there?
After a lengthy and almost exhausting comparison, I discovered that NuVet vitamins are a mixture of ingredients that have not been shown to be safe and effective in treating or preventing any disease in dogs and other animals, as NuVet is advertised. They are advertised as treating many diseases not limited to: cataracts, cushion's diseases, diabetes, allergies and a list of others, with good results and no risks.
Well, after a diligent search. I found there is NO reliable evidence to support the health claims NuVet makes for a number of their ingredients and being most important, is there appears to be absolutely NO published research evidence of any kind evaluating the safety of purported benefits of their product! What else I found interesting is that their products are listed as "using natural, human-grade ingredients." This simply means: good for human consumption, not animals. We all know, or at-least everyone should know is that: "What may be good for humans is not always good for dogs or animals."
During my search I found a supplement called, NuTri-Vet Vitamins and here's why I choose to give our dogs, NuTri-Vet Vitamins:
NuTri-Vet is a "veterinary formulated animal supplement" that promote health and well-being in dogs and other animals. They are a leading provider of "natural animal products" in America. NuTri-Vet does not advertise as being able to treat or prevent any disease in dogs or other animals. They are members of the National Animal Supplement Council (NASC) a nonprofit industry group dedicated to "Protecting and Enhancing the Health of companion animals" throughout the United States.
NuTri-Vet was just the best fit for our dogs and puppies and we give NuTri-Vet to all breeding dogs and puppies as a weekly (one-day-a-week) supplement. We "highly recommend" they stay on the supplement during their first year of life, that's how much we believe in the health of our extended family members. We have started all puppies on the path of disease protection with NuTri-Vet puppy chewable because, our puppies are born with an enhanced immune system, not only because of their ancestry, but also because when puppies are weaned they are given a high quality puppy food and supplementation.
We know that very often, new owners change their puppy's food and it is usually because of the price of the food. When you change the puppy's food to a lesser quality food the puppy is not receiving all the needed vitamins, minerals or antioxidants required during the development stages in their 1st year of life and "all dog foods are not created equal."
It is for this very reason we require all puppies to remain on Wellness or another high quality puppy food their first year of life and beyond. Isn't your four-legged loved one just as important as your health is to you?

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
I've often told anyone that will listen (and that isn't very many people) that I think it would be great if it would snow a few times during the summer, when we could really appreciate it, rather than all winter long when we begin to hate the sight of one more snowflake. That occurs in February and March, don't you think?
Well now I am back in Phoenix, and I won't be having that problem . . . EVER! lol Today Jeanne challenged us to make a snowman card to help cool off. I got a new order today, so I had to use some of my fresh goodies so I made two cards for my amusement and hopefully for yours.
For the blue card, I inked the cuttlebug embossing folder with white craft ink, ran the Baja Breeze cs through the folder and then embossed with Irredescent Ice. I mounted that onto the Pacific Point card. The hi stamp was inked with versamark and Pacific Point ink, stamped onto white cs and then embossed with irredescent ice ep. I punched that outand mounted it with dimensionals. The snowman was made by embossing white cs with the snowflakes cb folder and punching out different areas for the body. The face is just a white circle I drew the face onto. The hat is just scraps of black cs. The arms are actually the hemp twine. I think it looks a big twiggish, don't you. After he was finished, I inked the whole thing with versamark and embossed it with the irredescent ice ep again. How do you like him?
For the white card, I embossed just the bottom portion of the white card with the snowflakes folder, then attached the gingham ribbon and added two small bows. The images were stamped with versamark and clear embossed and punched out. The snowman face was colored with my markers, stamped and cut out, mounted onto the red circle, dotted around the edge and mounted onto a Handsome Hunter scallop square. I added some faux brads, and there you have it. Oh yeah, the entire thing is mounted onto Handsome Hunter. I'm lovin' these new hostess sets. What do you think of them?

Julia Holcomb recently accused Steven Tyler, a singer for Aerosmith, of sexual abuse.
On December 30, in the Union Leader, Joseph Wilkinson shared that Tyler met Julia Holcomb when she was 16 and he was 25.
When she got pregnant by him, he allegedly coerced her into a late-term abortion. According to the Union Leader, she filed a lawsuit under California’s 2020 Child Victims Act. It grants a three-year window so child sexual abuse survivors can sue the perpetrators.
Holcomb shared her testimony to several audiences pointing out the harm abortion placed on her.
Growing research shows that spouses/partners, family members, and others coerce women into having an abortion. Even if these women want to keep their children, other people silence their voices.
We should be discussing the role abortion plays in silencing the victims and condoning abusers’ actions. Laws such as the Fetal Life Protection Act, which bans abortions after 24 weeks gestation, are meant to protect preborn children.
Our legal system can place alleged abusers such as Steven Tyler to justice. We can spare women and their preborn children from harm if we educate people about abortion. Citizens can direct women who suffered abortion trauma to healing resources and counseling.
Lastly, we should stand by the brave women who share their stories.

Mesothelioma Treatment and
refers to the lining that is found on several internal organs of the body like lungs, abdomen and so on. This
lining generates a fluid that helps in smooth functioning of these organs. For example, this lining supports
the lungs in their rhythmic breathing movement. When this inner lining of organs gets afflicted with cancer,
the condition is known as Mesothelioma.
therapy is best known for alleviating pain in patients. This treatment is not self-reliant for curing cancer
but works best when used in conjunction with other pertinent treatments like surgery and/or chemotherapy.
Patients in advanced stage of disease are advised to go for radiation therapy to get respite from pain with
minimum after effects.
The mesothelioma cancer
treatment can be quite difficult as it is to be targeted over the lining of lungs, abdomen etc. Surgery
cannot possibly remove this cancer completely and thus explains the need to undergo the mesothelioma
Oncologists study every case
individually and, depending upon the extent of the cancerous growth, suggest the best possible treatment.
Though surgery is the initial step of mesothelioma cancer, sometime radiation is also done in order to
relieve the patients from their uneasiness. Patients suffering from Mesothelioma experience breathing
problems, pain and bleeding. To control such symptoms radiation is given at early stages of the
External beam radiation
therapy is the most common form of mesothelioma treatment that treats patients in painless
manner. The patient is accompanied by the oncologist and measurements are taken in order to decide the right
posture for targeting the X-rays. The machine is used to focus the X-rays over cancerous cells within few
minutes. Newer methods of radiation enable the oncologist to conduct the mesothelioma treatment
with precision and thereby save the healthy cells from being destroyed.
Another method is the Brachy
therapy where radioactive material are enclosed in needles and placed directly in the chest or the abdomen,
near to the cancer. The material travels to the limited distance and thus the healthy cells do not get
affected by the radioactive elements.
There are several factors
that affect various aspects of mesothelioma radiation therapy. These factors are the stage, size, location,
and the type of cancer. All these factors are carefully considered by doctors before deciding the best
possible route and strength of radiation to be beamed. Since radiations may be beamed from multiple angles,
the health of other organs is also taken into consideration. However, there is no fear of accumulation of radioactive material or dead
cancerous cells inside the body as they get excreted through body’s normal excretory system.
Minor side effects are
experienced by the patient after receiving mesothelioma radiation therapy. Side effects like like loss of
hair, skin tanning, tiredness and nausea tend to disappear gradually over reasonable period of time. However,
if the patient has undergone lung radiation there might be breathing problems and feeling of

Capital Requirement Deadline: BoG’ Has Not Shifted Position- Deputy Governor
Second Deputy Governor of the Bank of Ghana (BoG), Elsie Awadzi says the Central Bank has not shifted from its position that all banks must meet the capital requirement by the deadline of 31st December 2018.
She said the option of merger is available for banks that cannot meet the requirement, adding that the banks are free, even encouraged to explore that the merger option.
According to her, experiences elsewhere have shown that mergers work and have created strong, stable and robust financial systems.
The Second Deputy Governor however expressed optimism that many banks will meet the minimum capital requirement of ¢400 million by December this year.
Mrs. Awadzi who was speaking at the Graphic Business/Stanbic Bank Breakfast Meeting in Accra on Tuesday, said apart from some banks announcing that they either have met, or about meeting the requirement, the Central Bank was convinced, on the basis of available evidence, that the amount would be realised before the deadline given by the regulator.
Some of the local banks have appealed to President Nana Akufo-Addo to intervene and keep the Central Bank at bay as far as the enforcement of the capital requirement is concerned.
They want the regulator to stagger the implementation of the new requirement up to 2022 when they believe they would have been in a better stead to meet the stated capital.
However, the second deputy governor says the Central Bank will not change the deadline date for meeting the requirement.

Queens Council on the Arts distributes annual grants to borough artists and groups
BY TAMMY SCILEPPI
TIMESLEDGER, FEB. 20–26, 2015
Late last month, despite dire snow predictions, the Queens Council on the Arts sallied forth with its annual celebratory evening and honored 48 organizations and 40 individuals awarded one of its Queens Art Funds grants. Artists will present their works across the borough this year in the areas of visual and literary arts, films, theater, multimedia, dance and music. Grants were also presented to 11 individuals who work with senior centers in the Seniors Partnering with Artists Citywide program.
In all, the QCA handed out more than $190,000 to Queens-based artists. “The Queens Arts Fund is a competitive application process that is reviewed by a panel of peers that make recommendations for funding. We have been honored to facilitate this process for Queens County since the late 1970s,” QCA Grants and Resource Director Lynn Lobell said. “All the arts and cultural programming projects will take place in many different local venues, and it’s up to each organization and artist to determine where they will present to the general Queens public.”
Another grant was presented to Lily Yang, Honglei Li and He Li, who work collectively as Lily & Honglei, to help fund their creation of an app that incorporates animation and technology. The Queens-based artists’ work reflects on how, and to what extent, the landscape and culture may be altered by an urbanization process that will relocate 260 million people from China’s countryside by 2020. The emerging media will help the project reach out to a broader community and increase audience engagement. Lily & Honglei Studio has presented its work at numerous national and international venues, including the Queens Museum of Art. The collective stated that QCA provided them with financial support to cover costs for technologies, materials for project production and exhibition, as well as artist fees that allow them to dedicate their time to significant work. The team’s final presentation will combine animated film, inspired by Chinese folk art shadow play, along with a virtual reality installation, as well as an installation allowing the audience to experience the artwork with a mobile phone within and beyond the gallery. This multimedia project will be launched at Jamaica Center for Arts & Learning during Jamaica Flux ’15 this fall.

text: Since its discovery by Bliss and Lomo, the phenomenon of long-term potentiation (LTP) continues to be extensively studied, since it was seen as a potential cellular mechanism of learning and memory space. and Lomo, 1973) released an avalanche of research fond of relating adjustments in synaptic efficiency resulting from several patterns of electric activity in a variety of neuronal systems to various types of learning and storage. Fundamental to the search had been the assumptions that (i) learning shows cause specific patterns SVT-40776 of neuronal activity in a variety of locations within the mind, leading to long-lasting adjustments of synaptic connections, and (ii) the distribution from the improved synapses forms an interior representation from the storage from the occasions responsible for the original neuronal activity. Recall from the storage would then are made up in the reactivation of the improved synapses and systems. As normal in research, this search provides led to many findings, opened many paths C a few of them growing to be dead-ends, produced countless debates, led to one Nobel award, but SVT-40776 has however to provide a thorough theory of learning and storage. As continues to be repeatedly mentioned, a significant problems to integrate all of the findings arrives partly to the usage of different experimental protocols by nearly all research laboratories focusing on this subject, and the obvious insufficient reproducibility of experimental data caused by these distinctions. In the initial survey from Bliss and Lomo, a short teach of high regularity arousal (100 Hz, SVT-40776 1 s) towards the perforant route led to a long-lasting upsurge in synaptic replies elicited in the dentate gyrus granule cells (Bliss and Lomo, 1973). This selecting was rapidly expanded to various other monosynaptic glutamatergic synapses through the entire hippocampus, and it became obvious that this sensation could represent a mobile mechanism for a few types of learning and storage (Lynch and Granger, 1992; Barnes, 1995; Maren and Baudry, 1995; Stevens, 1998; Lynch, 2004; Sacktor, 2008). This notion was additional strengthened with the breakthrough that theta-burst arousal (TBS) (trains of short bursts of arousal shipped at theta regularity, 5C7 Hz) also created LTP (Larson and Lynch, 1986, also find Larson, this matter), because the electroencephalogram theta tempo is connected with exploration of brand-new environment and can be used to synchronize activity of systems in different human brain locations (Winson, 1978). Since that time, HFS and TBS have already been trusted by many laboratories to elicit LTP also to research the mobile pathways root LTP on the synaptic level. Many molecular/mobile pathways have already been been shown to be involved in this technique, leading some researchers to even issue the biological truth from the sensation (Sanes and Lichtman, 1999; Lisman et al., 2003). Hence, it’s been incredibly difficult to attain a consensus on the facts from the occasions critically involved with linking activation of NMDA receptors, a broadly accepted mechanism necessary to induce LTP, towards the upsurge in AMPA receptors and adjustments in dendritic backbone structure, two of the very most widely accepted systems mixed up in resilient maintenance of LTP (Morris et al., 1986; Matsuzaki et al., 2004). Because activation of NMDA receptors network marketing leads to a short influx of calcium mineral in postsynaptic constructions, and is crucial for LTP induction by both HFS and TBS, the seek out intracellular cascades offers centered on calcium-dependent enzymes, that could result in adjustments in framework and function of dendritic spines. Calmodulin-dependent Proteins Kinase II (CamKII) was therefore found to become activated also to play a crucial part in LTP induced by either HFS or TBS, which is generally believed that it acts to both transiently phosphorylate and SVT-40776 improve the function of AMPA receptors also to generate fresh slots SVT-40776 to put in AMPA receptors in postsynaptic densities (discover Lisman and Raghavachari, this problem). Two additional major pathways concerning different proteins kinases, cAMP-dependent proteins kinase (PKA) and extracellular controlled kinase (ERK), are also proposed to hyperlink NMDA receptor Rabbit Polyclonal to LGR4 activation and extracellular indicators, like the neurotrophic element, BDNF, to long-lasting adjustments in synaptic function. A lot more than 30 years back, we suggested that another calcium-dependent procedure participated in LTP, consisting in the activation from the calcium-dependent protease calpain (Lynch and Baudry, 1984). In those days, very limited info was available concerning the properties of calpains and the type.

I am a firm believer that every artist has their own style within their minds, and there is nothing better than a young new artist catching that vision early.
There is no right or wrong with art, simply “yours”.
Its pretty rare to get a sunny Saturday in the winter. Glad we did.
Love it! Especially love that first shot : )
good stuff Jeff. nailed it!

I wanna know who I was before I became a regalia.
I wanna feel alive.
I love you.
Every important word you'd dare to utter in this life defined you.
What exactly would happen if all that happened to disappear?
"This is an anomaly,"
"No such thing has ever occurred before!"
"Is this god-Yato, using some type of dark magic on his regalia?"
Yukine took in every word each of the gods of the heavens said. He admired that they believed he was special, almost worshipping him as if he was some kind of legend, but there was so much to focus on.
His entire world was flooding his memory banks, his life literally 'flashing before his eyes'.
"Yukine.. are you okay..?" Yato put his hand supportingly on the regalia's shoulder.
He nodded simply with a blank stare, and once he finally began to blink, he saw it, his last moments.
His terse breaths as his head slid down the side of a mailbox.
The boy was clinging to life, as he still had hope in store for his life, hope that things would get better for him, that he could be happy with a family once again.
The entirety of his world went black after that, his eyes relaxing and his lips freezing in time.
Yukine snapped back to reality after that, his heart beating against his ribcage, and the quickened pace of his breathing.
"I.. I'm okay," Yukine muttered, utterly surprised that he was able to withstand the power of something such as the God's Greatest Secret.
"Y-you did it! Yukine you did it!" Yato said happily, taking the regalia in his arms and ruffling his blonde tufts.
Although Yukine was proud that he had managed to survive his very own preconceived sins, he couldn't help but worry about you.
"W-where's (Y/n)?" He asked a convivial Yato, who widened his ice blue eyes at the sound of your name.
It seemed that a dozen emotions crossed the god's face at the time, but he settled on a simple smile.
"(Y/n) is strong. She made it through just like you did, but.."
Yukine's heart was doing backflips in his chest as he moved away from Yato's hold.
The boy was desperate to see you after just learning that the two of you shared a past, but his words made him nervous.
"Yukine, whenever a regalia becomes aware of their past, there's no telling what could happen to them. They could come out completely fine like you, or be.. reborn. And (Y/n).. well she's being reborn."
"Reborn? You mean.. it'll be like when we first found her..?" Yukine questioned, his eyes reflecting signs of worry.
"Yeah... it'll be like we're meeting her all over again."
It didn't take much thought to know what he meant. Every single thing you and Yukine had gone through, believing you had finally made it, would be worth next to nothing.
You would have never known that he loved you, or that the two of you had such a deep past, but then again, every hardship you had gone through.. being a Nora and a translucent regalia.. they would cease to exist.

Vowing to further accelerate speed of decision making, the government aims to achieve a level of self governance whereby 97 per cent of foreign direct investment (FDI) would come to India through an "automatic" route without requiring any bureaucratic approval, Secretary in the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP) Mr Amitabh Kant said at an ASSOCHAM event.
"We do not want any business man to come to Udyog Bhawan or the Finance Ministry, that is also the mandate from the Prime Minister, Mr Narendra Modi," Mr Kant said at the Annual General Meeting of ASSOCHAM.
The DIPP Secretary said a lot has been done in the area of easing investment in the highway sector and the results would be visible in the near future. Contracts worth Rs 3.5 lakh crore have been awarded in the highway sector through different channels like EPC since the PPP model was not working to be successful. The Reserve Bank of India has played a significant role in allowing banks to sell bad loans in the highway sector.
The challenge is to continue this pace of reforms, helping and unleashing in the process a vibrant energy in the form of Start-ups. "Snapdeals and Flipkarts are challenging Amazons of the world, these are 20-30 year old start-up entrepreneurs spread across water, bio-technology."
Mr Kant, who has been among the key bureaucrats speeding up the reforms, said these start-ups need as many as 22 compliances. He said while India has improved its World Bank ranking by 12 points, the country needs to improve for India sake not for the World Bank.
The role of the states is crucial in achieving this task of easing business rules. Mr Kant said there is a huge excitement among the states to compete with each other and improve on their business and industrial echo system.
"While Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh and Jharkhand emerged as the top three states on the Centre's matrix of 100 points, this year the Centre would be measuring the performance of different states on a scale point of 340," said Mr Kant.
"If 10-12 states decide to move fast, India would create 10-12 Singapore and that would take the country's GDP to 9-10 per cent," he added.
Mr Kant also said, "As a country, we must take pride in the infrastructure we have built, Heathrow looks to be of under developed country as compared to Delhi or Mumbai airports."

Cold world indeed y’all! A captured surveillance video shows a male attempting to help a homeless person out by giving him the jacket off his back. Unfortunately his kind gesture was met with a physical attack and robbery!
According to the New York Post the incident took place Wednesday morning on a sidewalk in midtown Manhattan, in front of 476 5th Ave. at around 8:40 a.m.
The identified 59-year-old victim says he tried to assist Xavier Israel, 25, who was lying on the ground.
Within the video clip you can see that shortly after the victim places his jacket on Israel’s back, he responds by jumping up and pushing the Good Samaritan to the ground.
Israel then digs through the older man’s pockets searching for his wallet and then snatching it from his pants.
The man tried to fight back but Israel overpowered him. He then fled the scene but was shortly captured on West 41st St. and 5th Ave with $1,500 on cash says officials.
