Pet allergies is one of the most common allergic conditions caused by intolerance to antigens of wool, feathers, skin particles or pet waste products. The symptoms depend on the ways the allergen enters the body – itching, lacrimation, nasal congestion, sneezing, sore throat are most often registered. The pathology is determined by studying the patient’s life history, specific diagnosis is carried out using allergological tests. During treatment, contact with the source of the allergen is excluded, antihistamines and desensitizing therapy are prescribed.
J30.3 L50.0 H10.1
Intolerance or pet allergies is a common condition, in recent years there have been more and more cases of the disease. This is due to the improvement of diagnostic methods and an increase in the number of pets in general – according to statistics, cats, dogs or other animals are kept by 30 to 80% of families. Most often, an allergic condition is registered in children, the disease can occur at any age and suddenly disappear after a certain period of time. According to some data, at least 15% of the total population of the Earth are susceptible to the development of pathology. A small proportion of cases are represented by persons involved in agricultural work – caring for cows, goats, poultry. Epidemiology reflects the prevalence of contact with allergens – the incidence is higher in countries where more people keep pets.
The etiology of allergy is similar to other allergic conditions with contact or air transmission of a provoking substance (for example, pollinosis). For one reason or another, the patient has a perverted immunological reaction in response to the penetration of foreign substances of a protein nature. In this pathology, the source of such compounds are domestic or, less often, farm animals. Due to frequent and close contact with pets, allergies to them are characterized by a long chronic course, may be complicated by other immunological conditions. Provoking antigens may be contained in secretions:
- Elements of the cover. Particles of wool, scales of skin or feathers most often contain substances in their composition that cause allergic manifestations. Having a small size and light weight, they are able to stay in the air for a long time, penetrate the respiratory tract. Fluff and wool can also be fixed in the fabrics and pile of carpets – this explains the persistence of allergies even after eliminating communication with the animal.
- Exoparasites. Sometimes allergens are found in organisms that parasitize animal integuments (fleas, microscopic mites). Often this type of pathology occurs suddenly and disappears after the treatment of the animal.
- Waste products. Feces or urine of some animal species may contain provoking substances. Most often, allergies manifest themselves after cleaning trays, cages or terrariums and are limited to skin symptoms. Sometimes the appearance of allergens in secretions is associated with diseases of pets.
Various substances included in shampoos, veterinary drugs, cell cleaners can also provoke the occurrence of allergic symptoms. This variant of the pathological condition may be misdiagnosed as an pet allergies. Factors predisposing to the development of the disease are the presence of immunological disorders, other allergic conditions (for example, bronchial asthma), childhood age. Violation of animal care contributes to the occurrence of pathology – the accumulation of potential allergens in large quantities can cause a reaction even in a healthy person. At the same time, contact with animals in early childhood (less than 2 years) reduce the risks of allergies in the future due to the development of immunological tolerance to certain antigens.
Despite the variety of clinical manifestations, the reaction to allergens of domestic animals proceeds along the same pathogenetic pathway – hypersensitivity reactions of the immediate type. At the first contact with the antigens of animal integuments, their parasites or secretions, the organism is sensitized. Provoking substances are recognized by the immune system, class E (IgE) antibodies are formed against them. Immunoglobulins are absorbed on the membrane surface of tissue basophils (mastocytes), making them susceptible to allergens. These cells play a central role in the further development of the pathological condition.
During subsequent contacts, allergens bind to IgE located on basophil membranes. This activates these immunocompetent cells and stimulates the process of their degranulation – the release of histamine, serotonin and prostaglandins into the intercellular space. These compounds contribute to the expansion of blood vessels and increase the volume of intercellular fluid, irritate sensitive nerve endings. This is manifested by typical pet allergy symptoms – redness, swelling of tissues, itching, unpleasant sensations, increased exudation of mucus or tear fluid. Sometimes the amount of histamine released is so large that it leads to systemic reactions (anaphylactic shock) – a sharp drop in blood pressure, spasm of the respiratory tract.
Symptoms of animal allergy
The manifestations of pet allergy are quite diverse, largely determined by the type of intolerance, the nature of the allergen and its distribution in the patient’s environment. In most cases, pet antigens spread through the air, easily penetrate into the upper respiratory tract and the conjunctiva of the eyes. There is nasal congestion, lacrimation, sneezing, redness and itching of the eyes. Often these manifestations are joined by headaches, unpleasant sensations in the throat, sometimes hoarseness of the voice appears. Asthma patients may have bronchospasm attacks 20-30 minutes after inhaling air containing allergens.
In some patients, skin manifestations due to direct contact with animals or products of their vital activity come to the fore. As a rule, urticaria is detected in the area of contact of the skin with the provoking substance, sometimes it develops on other parts of the body. The duration of preservation of erythema, itching and other symptoms depends on the reactivity of the body and the amount of allergens in the environment. Often there is a combined development of ocular, respiratory and skin allergic manifestations. Some of them can occur in the form of contact dermatitis through a delayed hypersensitivity reaction (HSR), which is more often observed in people caring for farm animals or zookeepers.
In patients with severe sensitization to animal antigens, allergic symptoms may develop even in the absence of direct contact. The main and most common allergens of cats (Fel d1 and Fel d2) and dogs (Can f1 and Can f2) can be transferred through clothing and other items of the owners. For highly sensitized individuals, such indirect contact is sufficient for the development of a characteristic pet allergies symptom complex. The possibility of indirect interaction with provoking compounds is important to consider when diagnosing pathology.
Serious complications for this allergic condition are uncharacteristic, but the risk of their occurrence increases if the symptoms of the disease are ignored and contact with allergens continues. In people with bronchial asthma, the reaction can lead to severe bronchospasm and insufficient respiratory function. Allergic nasoconjunctival syndrome can be complicated by secondary bacterial infection of the mucous membranes, provoking purulent-inflammatory rhinitis or conjunctivitis. In extremely rare cases, anaphylactic shock develops upon contact with animal antigens, which is a life-threatening condition. A long course of allergic rhinitis can provoke hyperplasia of the nasal mucosa and the appearance of polyps.
The identification of this condition in practical allergology requires a comparison of a large number of anamnestic, clinical and laboratory data. This makes it possible to establish the relationship between the presence of a pet and the occurrence of pathological manifestations, and laboratory techniques make it possible to confirm and clarify the diagnosis. Diagnosis can be difficult, since some patients have a symptom complex that occurs some time after a cat or dog has appeared in the house. Allergy diagnosis is performed according to the following algorithm:
- Survey and general inspection. On examination, characteristic nonspecific manifestations of allergy are revealed – urticaria, conjunctival redness, lacrimation, complication of nasal breathing. When questioned, the presence or absence of contact with animals during the last days and in previous periods is determined. When interviewing a patient, it is also possible to determine the relationship between symptoms and pets and thereby adjust the plan for further diagnostic measures.
- Laboratory techniques. The general blood test usually shows minimal changes – a slight increase in ESR, eosinophilia and other signs of allergic inflammation. Specific tests reveal a significant increase in the level of type E immunoglobulins, which indicates an anaphylactic type of intolerance reaction.
- Allergological tests. The gold standard for the diagnosis of animal allergies are skin allergological tests – application, PRICK test. Usually, the body’s reaction to common allergens of dogs, cats, birds is determined (depending on which animal the patient contacts).
Differential diagnosis of pet allergies is performed with other types of allergic diseases (for example, pollinosis, intolerance to household dust), inflammatory pathologies of the mucous membranes (rhinitis, conjunctivitis). The distinction of these conditions often becomes possible only after conducting provocative allergological tests, which are a method of specific diagnosis.
Treatment of animal allergies
The issue of pet allergies treatment is often complicated by the unwillingness of patients to isolate the source of their pathological condition – a pet. In some cases, this leads to cooperation between an allergist and a veterinarian, together specialists can determine the nature of the allergen and find out how to reduce its release to animals. Such measures are effective in case of intolerance to the components of care products (shampoos, sprays), exoparasites or animal secretions – it is enough to cure the pet and minimize contact with excrement (cleaning trays). In addition to eliminating contact with provoking antigens , the following therapeutic measures are distinguished:
- Antihistamine therapy. Antihistamines are widely used to reduce allergy symptoms. They can be prescribed in the form of tablets, eye or nasal drops and sprays during the period of exacerbation of the disease or as a preventive measure – for example, before alleged contact with an animal.
- Desensitizing therapy. In relation to a number of animal allergens, it is possible to use specific immunotherapy (ASIT) associated with the development of tolerance to the provoking protein substance. The essence of the technique is reduced to the introduction of small, gradually increasing dosages of allergen for several months.
- Barrier techniques. Experimental methods based on the formation of the thinnest film based on cellulose or other compounds in nasal drops in the nasal mucosa. As a result, the entry of allergens into the tissues becomes more complicated, the manifestations of allergies decrease. The techniques do not protect the skin or conjunctiva of the eyes, so they are used with a limited list of indications.
After diagnosis of pet allergies, in addition to excluding contact with a pet, thorough cleaning of residential premises is necessary. Wet cleaning of floors, walls, furniture is carried out, carpets, upholstery and other fabric elements of the interior are carefully knocked out. It is recommended to install filters for air purification for a while, since the smallest scales of skin and down can remain suspended even in the absence of dogs or cats.
Prognosis and prevention
The prognosis of pet allergies is almost always favorable, only in people with a tendency to bronchial asthma it worsens due to the risks of bronchospasm. Often, the manifestations of the disease become less pronounced over time, even without serious therapeutic measures, so some patients prefer not to part with a pet, easing allergy symptoms with antihistamines or agreeing to ASIT. Preventive measures help to reduce the concentration of animal allergens, reduce both the risk of occurrence and the severity of pathology. These include careful care of the animal, the use of household air purifiers, washing hands after stroking or playing with a pet. It is important not to allow the animal on chairs or beds, especially in the bedroom, when traveling in the car, use special seat covers.

Was the ''road'' Frost had taken easy ''to travel'' in his poem "The Road Not Taken"?
The first thing to remember about the poem is that Robert Frost, the author of the poem, is not the narrator of the poem; much like Robert Browning, an earlier British poet that he admired, Frost creates personas, or characters, who describe their experiences in monologues; so when you read the poem, you're also supposed to be figuring out what the poem's narrator is like. In this case, the narrator imagines feeling regret for not taking the second path when he's just started the first one, so we know that he's not likely to be satisfied with either path or believe that either path is "easy." In fact, all that we know is that the path the speaker takes is "just as fair" therefore making it "the better claim" because it "wanted wear":
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear,
Since we're just reading about what the narrator imagines those paths will be like, the poem doesn't really say if either of them are easy. Again, he describes both paths as "fair," which means he thinks they both look good to him ... but he's already anticipating being dissatisfied.

The main drawback of greenhouse heating systems based on solar energy is the unavailability at nighttime and the variation of its value from hour to hour and month to another during daylight-time. However, use the combination of two-source of renewable energy (solar energy and biomass heat energy) successfully provides appropriate amount of heat energy for heating greenhouse at nighttime. The commercial greenhouses have the highest demand of heat energy for heating the indoor air as compared with other agricultural industry sectors. The investigation presented in this article is aimed at evaluating the technical and design feasibility of using biomass heat energy to assist the solar energy heating system at the eastern area of coastal delta, Egypt (Latitude and longitude are 31.045°N and 31.37°E, respectively, and altitude 6.0 m above the sea level). The hybrid heating system (solar and biomass heating systems) is mainly consists of two different heating systems, a complete solar heating system (6 collectors, storage tank and heat exchanger) and biomass burner (water and air coils, and air heat exchanger). The obtained results reveal that, over 180 days heating season (from November 2015 to March 2016) the solar heating system collected 12712 kWh (45.763 GJ) of which 12316 kWh (44.338 GJ) of solar heat energy was stored in the storage tank. It provided 30.32% of the total heat energy required for heating the greenhouse. The biomass heating system provided 19795 kWh (71.262 GJ) of heat energy which provided 58.55% of the total heat energy required for heating the greenhouse (225.389 kWh). Ultimately, the heat energy provided by the hybrid heating system (88.87%) has been used successfully to heat up the indoor air of the commercial greenhouse sweet coloured pepper. It also provided high water use efficiency of 29.860 kg/m3. High water use efficiency (29.860 kg/m3) and high annual irrigation water productivity (447.9 LE/m3) were achieved during this study.

A computer animation of Dream Chaser operations. Video source: Sierra Nevada Corporation.
The first remotely operated drop test of the Sierra Nevada Dream Chaser ended badly yesterday, when landing gear failed and the vehicle flipped.
According to a Sierra Nevada press release:
The vehicle successfully released from its carrier aircraft, an Erickson Air-Crane helicopter, as planned at approximately 11:10 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time. Following release, the Dream Chaser spacecraft automated flight control system gently steered the vehicle to its intended glide slope. The vehicle adhered to the design flight trajectory throughout the flight profile. Less than a minute later, Dream Chaser smoothly flared and touched down on Edwards Air Force Base’s Runway 22L right on centerline. While there was an anomaly with the left landing gear deployment, the high-quality flight and telemetry data throughout all phases of the approach-and-landing test will allow SNC teams to continue to refine their spacecraft design. SNC and NASA Dryden are currently reviewing the data. As with any space flight test program, there will be anomalies that we can learn from, allowing us to improve our vehicle and accelerate our rate of progress.
NASASpaceflight.com explained the “anomaly” (ETA means Engineering Test Article):
However, via what is being classed as a mechanical failure of the left landing gear (failure to deploy), the ETA lost control when “weight on wheels”, and flipped over on the runway.
Notably, the main landing gear on the ETA is not the same as what set to be employed on future Dream Chasers.
The beauty of the commercial crew competition is that participants must complete milestones to receive awards from NASA. Failures are not rewarded. Spaceflight Now explains:
NASA and Sierra Nevada have a Space Act Agreement to provide up to $227.5 million of NASA funding to the company. NASA makes payments as Sierra Nevada completes Dream Chaser design and development milestones.
One of the milestones tied to a financial payment was the completion of approach and landing test. Upon meeting predetermined success criteria, Sierra Nevada was set to receive $15 million at the conclusion of the milestone.
The Space Act Agreement describes the test this way: “A minimum of one and up to five additional Engineering Test Article free flight test(s) will be completed to characterize the aerodynamics and controllability of the Dream Chaser Orbital Vehicle outer mold line configuration during the subsonic approach and landing phase.”
The test's success criteria was redacted in a copy of the Space Act Agreement posted online.
Sierra Nevada has not yet disclosed the condition of the ETA. Even if it can be repaired, it will delay further tests and set back the company even further in the competition.
With the final selection of at least one commercial crew participant anticipated for the summer of 2014 (depending on Congressional funding), yesterday's incident would suggest that it's down to SpaceX and Boeing.
But that doesn't put Sierra Nevada out of orbital business. All three companies anticipate flights to the private Bigelow Aerospace inflatable habitats later in the decade.
UPDATE October 27, 2013 — Alan Boyle of NBC News reports that Sierra Nevada will hold a press conference on Tuesday October 29 to discuss the incident.
UPDATE October 29, 2013 — Sierra Nevada released today a video of the test flight, but not the landing:
Click the arrow to watch the test flight on YouTube. Video source: Sierra Nevada Corporation.
A SNC representative posted this comment on the YouTube video:
We have assembled a team to investigate the cause of the anomaly and cannot release any further video at this time. Thank you for your patience while we conduct the investigation!
Alan Boyle of NBC News reports on today's press conference:
During a teleconference on Tuesday, Sirangelo said the vehicle was “repairable and [would be] flyable again.” There was no damage to the test vehicle's internal shell or electronics, and the damage to the external carbon-composite shell can be fixed, he said. The only question is whether the Dream Chaser would be repaired for another autonomous flight, or retooled for its first piloted flight. Either way, the vehicle would fly again later this year or next year, Sirangelo said.
“Our timeline isn't going to be affected by this,” Sirangelo said. The flight yielded so much good data about Dream Chaser's aerodynamics that “in a strange way [it] might actually accelerate the program,” he said.
Sirangelo stressed that the landing gear used during Saturday's test was adapted from the equipment for an F-5 fighter jet, and would not be used on future configurations of the test vehicle.
Early reports had said the ETA flipped on the runway, but Sirangelo contradicted that.
According to Robert Pearlman at collectSPACE.com:
“Unfortunately, we encountered an anomaly with the gear that we're still investigating, which caused the gear to not deploy properly on the left side,” SNC vice president Mark Sirangelo, head of the company's space systems division, explained to reporters Tuesday (Oct. 29). “After a period of time, the vehicle was unable to continue its roll down the runway and landed down on its left side and skidded off the runway into sandy dirt.”
The prototype space plane, which took several months to build, was damaged from the skid, but was otherwise left intact after the crash.
“The core structure, all of the flight controls, the rudders, the ailerons, all of those are all still attached, still working and are still part of the vehicle,” Sirangelo said. “What we did lose was some of the protective coating shell off of the vehicle and some minor damage to the composites and wheel structure.”


Watershed-scale, Cost-benefit Optimization of Stormwater Infrastructure
Wednesday March 25, 2020
4:00 to 4:30 p.m. (Hall A)
Stormwater management (SWM) is an increasingly complex challenge for all municipalities across Canada. Significant challenges relate to insufficient resources, ageing infrastructure, areas lacking stormwater infrastructure, and poor planning. Combined with continued urbanization and climate change, we are witnessing an unprecedented increase in issues such as flooding, erosion, and water quality impairment.
There is a growing consensus that significant and broad, sweeping changes to stormwater management are needed to address the challenge. Critical to the required paradigm shift in stormwater management is ensuring that it is managed at a watershed scale and optimized for the greatest environmental outcomes at the highest cost efficiency.
Optimization may be achieved through the economic concepts of scale, aggregation, integration, and equitable responsibility.
A three-year pilot project within the East Holland River, Ontario, applied a continuous simulation model (LSPC), integrated with the US EPA model SUSTAIN. Using LSPC-SUSTAIN, thousands of stormwater management scenarios are modelled to assess the economic concepts under different development, climate, and planning scenarios.
These findings will be used to secure policy shifts in support of whole-system, nature-based, integrative and transformative planning and design of SWM infrastructure.
This presentation will provide an overview of the study methods, results, implications, and next steps.
1. Provide the audience with context as to why the stormwater management optimization pilot project was initiated and why the proposed approach was taken.
2. Provide the audience with an understanding of the methods applied including current and future state modelling, life-cycle costing of stormwater management features, flood damage assessment, and scenario development.
3. Provide the audience with a summary of study results, identifying how the project was able to cost-optimize grey and green stormwater management opportunities across the watershed.

The Susquehanna Nuclear Power Plant located in Salem Township is on track to generate more power in 2017 than in any other year in its 35-year history, according to Tim Rausch, Senior Vice President and Chief Nuclear Officer of Talen Energy. While nuclear plants across the country have been shutting down in recent years due to low energy pricing, the Susquehanna station has been improving operational efficiencies to remain competitive. Rausch’s comments were made to local elected officials and representatives of the business community at a recent meeting.
In late September, Energy Secretary Rick Perry directed the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to “issue a final rule requiring its organized markets to develop and implement market rules that accurately price generation resources necessary to maintain the reliability and resiliency of our nation’s power system.” The construction of natural gas power plants combined with federal subsidies for the development of wind and solar power generation has resulted in lower energy prices that threaten the viability of traditional fossil fuel and nuclear power plants. Shuttering these plants could put the nation’s base power supply at risk. Mr. Rausch noted that Talen Energy is interested in a level playing field to ensure fair competition. He does not expect to see any changes in the immediate future.
When Talen Energy became a privately-held corporation in December of 2016, Rausch noted that Team Susquehanna remained committed to the safety and health of the community. In addition to dozens of emergency preparedness drills conducted in 2017, the annual refueling was completed last on time and on budget with no injuries .


Matondo Mukulu, a UK based Jamaican barrister, is suggesting that legal challenges could be coming to British immigration laws which force persons to leave the United Kingdom before their appeals against deportation are heard.
He is predicting that the policy will be tested because of its far reaching effects.
Mr. Mukulu represents one of the nearly 50 Jamaicans scheduled to arrive in Jamaica on Wednesday, after being removed from the UK.
Speaking Tuesday on RJR’s Beyond the Headlines, he argued that the denial of a right of appeal against deportation until the persons leave the UK is not fair.
Mr. Mukulu, who once acted in the position of Public Defender in Jamaica, said the challenges will come as more cases get into the legal system, “because I don’t think that you will always have a situation where persons who are told you must appeal outside will not have a successful judicial review of that decision.”
There will be a case, he predicted, “showing that appealing outside places you at a distinct disadvantage.”
He added that adjustments are likely to be made to the policy in the future, “when you amass the information… about the success of persons who appeal from outside; that will take some time for the data to come through, not only on the level of success but the quality of representation that can be made, and I think that is the sort of evidence that, for example, the Supreme Court will want to see.”
Meanwhile, Jamaica’s National Security Ministry has announced that arrangements are in place for the arrival of the deportees from the UK.
They will be met in Kingston by a team, which will comprise police personnel, an officer of the Foreign Affairs Ministry, as well as representatives of the National Organisation for Deported Migrants, a non-governmental organisation funded by the British High Commission.
A processing facility has been established at the police Mobile Reserve and a case manager has been assigned to assist in the reintegration process.
A statement from the Ministry of National Security says, having exhausted all legal avenues of appeal, the returnees have no legal rights in the UK and the Government is obligated, under International law, to receive them.

It's a bit colder, the weather is less predictable, but Autumn can be a wonderful spectacle on the eye and so it proved as a background for the wedding of Ian and Lizzie last month at Slaley Hall near Hexham. Having only visited the venue once before to photograph a golf tournament on behalf of The Northern Echo, I wasn't overly-knowledgeable as to the surroundings of the Edwardian mansion situated in Northumberland. Not a problem however as frequently this lack of familiarity of a location or situation gives a more objective outlook and allows you to see things which would otherwise be ignored through regular acquaintance.
One tree in particular caught the attention of both the newly-wed couple and myself. A fantastic assemblage of crimson leaves beside a small pond. It was a perfect setting for a special day in the middle of October.

Russia vehemently condemned the terrorist act which hit al-Midan neighborhood in Damascus on Friday morning and led to the death of tens of victims, the majority of them civilians, describing it as “a brutal unjustifiable act.”
A statement by the Russian Foreign Ministry said that “Russia vehemently condemns this terrorist act that has no and can’t have any justification and whose executers must receive the punishment they deserve.”
The statement expressed Moscow’s sincere condolences to the families and relatives of the victims of this brutal terrorist act as well as its sympathy and solidarity with those affected.
For his part, Lebanese Foreign and Expatriates Minister Adnan Mansour also strongly condemned the terrorist bombing which targeted the abovementioned neighborhood.
“As we strongly condemn this terrorist criminal act and offer deepest condolences over the victims to the brotherly Syria, leadership and people, we are all confidence that the awareness of the Syrian people and their leadership will be able to uproot terrorism that targets Syria’s safety and the region’s security” said Mansour in a statement.
The Lebanese Foreign Minister warned that “this ugly terrorism targeting Damascus once again indicates a new and dangerous stage that is not only limited to Syria but opens the doors wide before terrorist operations that penetrate regions and borders.”
In turn, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast condemned the terrorist bombing, saying that Syria’s government and people through their unity, awareness and strength will disappoint their enemies who think about nothing but internal war, division and submission to the US-Zionist axis.
Mehmanparast also offered his country’s sympathies to the families of the martyrs and the wounded.


Before I bought leds I removed my panel on my 08 tb and the lights were soldered on. No twist lock bulbs. I probed and found all grounds and marked them. I bought the led kit that has the resistor on the led. I bent the legs to match the height of the factory lights and soldered them on. It's awesome.
If they are soldered in, first you have to remove the old ones.
Heres a few tips from someone who has done a few boards already......l
40 Watt soldering pencil
Solder sucker or
Solder Wick... (not as effective)
Make sure of the polarity of the board.
The longest legs on the LEDs are +
Maintain the correct height of the new LEDs.
Make sure to buy DIMMABLE LEDs
Keep your fingers off the clear plastic... it scratches easily.
So I drive a 2006 LT and it has the headlights "without" the notch for the grill bar. I'm looking everywhere I can think of for some good looking updated headlights for her and unless I want to convert to the bar style grill there's no options. Anybody have a good site recommendation?
If you're anything like me you like doing things yourself; cheaply, and efficiently.
Doing vehicle mods cheaply requires knowing EXACTLY what you need and how to install it.
When it comes to replacing stock Trailvoy bulbs with LED, there is a TON of disinformation floating around the internet...
I wanted to remove my side steps and i pull pass side complete assembly and stood back and it does not look good. Has holes and does not look complete. Do i need side skirts from a lower model envoy to fill the space or what. From reading i had done i thought i could just pull it off and go...

Graham, a Christian evangelist who preached to millions and prayed with 12 presidents, died Feb. 21 at his North Carolina home. He was 99. The late preacher’s casket, supported by a wood catafalque and draped in a black cloth, will sit in the Capitol’s Rotunda throughout the day as President Trump, members of Congress, Graham’s family and the public pay their respects. Guest: Senior pastor of Harvest Christian Fellowship, Greg Laurie
- Dick’s Sporting Goods Inc. said on Wednesday it will no longer sell assault-style rifles and will ban the sale of firearms to people under the age of 21. The changes, which will take immediate effect, come after the Valentine’s Day massacre that killed 17 — mostly students — at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. Nikolas Cruz, a 19-year-old former student who was expelled from the school, allegedly entered the building and killed 17 people, mostly students, with an AR-15. Cruz, who legally obtained the weapon, was charged with 17 counts of premeditated murder and is being held without bail. “As we looked to what happened down in Parkland [Florida], we were so disturbed and saddened by what happened we felt we really needed to do something,” Dick’s Chairman and CEO Ed Stack told “Good Morning America.”
- Latest on Delta! As the Georgia Legislature considers blocking a tax break for Delta Air Lines, other states and cities are lining up to put out the welcome mat for the carrier to move its headquarters from Atlanta. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat, tweeted to Delta on Tuesday that “if Georgia politicians disagree with your stand against gun violence, we invite you to move your headquarters to New York.” Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam, a Democrat, tweeted to Delta that “you’re welcome here any time.”
1:20pm- Stay Or Go? An anti-religion activist group is threatening to sue the city of Findlay, Ohio for a mural in the municipal building that shows an eagle and a bible verse. The Freedom From Religion Foundation sent a cease-and-desist letter to Flag City USA on Feb. 1, claiming the mural is unconstitutional because it “conveys government support for religion” through the phrase “Under His wings shall you find refuge,” and the corresponding Scripture reference, “Psalms 91.” The mural was painted in 2011 by a group of local artists to symbolize the protection of the community, and dovetailed with the theme of that year’s National Day of Prayer. The same year, FFRF challenged the proclamation, but the atheist and agnostic group’s case was struck down by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals due to lack of standing. Cathy Schock, a professional artist in Hancock County, spearheaded the creation of the mural, “Under His Wings,” which is based on Psalm 91:4: “He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge.” Resident Millennial writer, Guest: Caleb Parke, Foxnews.com writer

12:05pm- Arrests! Since Sunday, federal immigration agents in Northern California have arrested over 150 people alleged to have violated immigration laws, the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement said Tuesday. Half of them had criminal convictions, according to the agency. In the same statement announcing the arrests, the ICE Deputy Director Thomas D. Homan also lashed out at Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf, who had publicly warned of the impending ICE operations the day before it began. Schaaf had issued a warning on Saturday and held a press conference the following day, announcing that she had learned that ICE would conduct operations in the Bay Area.

He no longer felt much about writing
disintegrated, crumbled into pieces of
self-deception, not having any opinion
of his disconcerted life.
However, he wrote to his sister
about dividing up words
those with the absence of truth
and those far down the path of darkness
not to be reach, at least for sometime.
They don't amount to much, anyway,
aesthetic and integrity
because there has to be something compelling
about the writings, than skimming on the surface
of the water.
To see words bathed in ignorance,
he'd carefully covered his notepads
let the words flickered on his computer screen
until all had gone silent, not another word
even from his sister.
He looked up the sky contentedly,
no more paper cups slipping away across the universe.
Closed his eyes and reach out, for a moment
he thought he grasped the cloud.

As shocking news spread that Robert Mugabe had resigned as Zimbabwe’s president, Twitter reacted pretty much the way you’d expect – with memes and videos.
The announcement was made by the speaker at a special joint session of parliament which had convened to impeach the 93-year-old who has dominated every aspect of Zimbabwean public life for decades.
On the streets, the news sparked an explosion of wild celebration, with car horns honking and people erupting into ecstatic cheers and frenzied dancing.
A very similar mood embraced people on the social media site who were quick to commemorate the bombshell announcement – and have some fun while doing it:

After interviewing some 50 people in both north African enclaves that neighbour Morocco, the group said migrants who arrived there had at times experienced police abuse, and vulnerable people such as homosexuals or victims of domestic violence were not given adequate protection.
Spain's interior ministry did not comment on the report.
Ceuta and Melilla are favoured entry points for African migrants seeking to get to Europe, who attempt to climb over complex border systems made of high fences which they sometimes hang on to for hours, or swim along the coast.
Spanish and Moroccan authorities have been cooperating to prevent migrants crossing from the African side of the borders into the enclaves.
“There are videos where you can see how Moroccan police hit (migrants)… make them fall and send them away,” Amnesty said, adding that Spanish officers turned a blind eye.
Once in Spanish territory, migrants are taken to temporary detention centres used to hold people while officials decide whether or not they will be deported, but the journey is far from over.
“The majority of people asking for asylum, except those of Syrian nationality, find themselves blocked in the limbo that is Ceuta and Melilla,” said Esteban Beltran, director of Amnesty International Spain.
The interior ministry said more than 11,600 migrants and refugees arrived in Ceuta and Melilla last year, the majority from Syria – a 55 percent increase from 2014. The combined population of the two enclaves is just over 170,000.
Syrians' asylum requests are usually acted upon immediately, as they do not have to prove that they are in danger – their country being in the midst of conflict.
Other nationalities have a tougher time, says Amnesty, and asylum procedures are not always respected.
As an example, the group said, “the red, asylum-seeker card should allow freedom of movement in all Spanish territory, but this right is not respected in Ceuta and Melilla”.
Amnesty said the detention centres also failed to protect the most vulnerable, such as homosexuals.
In Melilla's centre, at least 60 people have asked for asylum for being persecuted in their home countries for their sexual orientation, and some have been waiting between six months and a year.
Amnesty said they had suffered discrimination from other people in the centre, threats and even assaults.
Amnesty called for Spain to guarantee the immediate transfer to the peninsula of those who are particularly vulnerable, and stop cooperating on migration control with neighbouring Morocco, which it accused of violating refugees' rights.

Hate doing Laundry?? Laundry takes half of your day and if it’s a holiday its all the more sickening to spend time doing laundry. But, with revolution in the field of science comes innovation in the field of products. Now-a-days, so many out-of-the-box products are invented or developed to make our life easier and simpler. So, we have more time to spend for ourselves than doing some silly mundane chores.
This product has been developed solely based on that fact that it would take care of washing, drying, folding and putting them in cupboard. It is integrated in such a way that all these tasks can be carried out without any human intervention, with just a touch.
Panasonic’s Sustainable Maintainer changes our thought process, on how we perceive our simple household appliances, by taking it to the next level of transformation and integration. Once you put your clothes in the machine, each item would be scanned separately for stains and product information, thus for each item depending on the need of the clothes, water pressure and temperature would be taken into account. After washing is over, dryer would dry the clothes after which each item would be neatly folded and stacked. This is a futuristic design to make laundry simple and fun, with the touch of a button.

A real strength of your new book, Children and the Internet: Great Expectations and Challenging Realities, is that it combines ethnographic and statistical, qualitative and quantitative approaches. What does each add to our understanding of the issues? Why are they so seldom brought together in the same analysis?
I'm glad you think this is a strength, as it's demanding to do, which may be why many don't do it. The simple answer is that I am committed to the view that qualitative work helps us understand a phenomenon from the perspective of those engaged in it, while quantitative work helps us understand how common, rare or distributed a phenomenon is.
Personally, I was fortunate to have been trained in both approaches, starting out with a rigorous quantitative training before launching into a mixed methods PhD as a contribution to a highly qualitative field of audience research and cultural studies. While I don't argue that all researchers must do everything, I do hope that the insights of both qualitative and quantitative research can be recognised by all; as a field, it seems to me vital to bring these approaches together, even if across rather than within projects.
You begin the book by noting the very different models of childhood which have emerged from psychological and sociological research. How can we reconcile these two paradigms to develop a better perspective on the relationship of youth to their surrounding society?
I hope that the book takes us further in integrating psychological and sociological approaches, for I try to show how they can be complementary. Particularly, I rebut the somewhat stereotyped view that psychologists only consider individuals, and only consider children in terms of 'ages and stages', by pointing to a growing trend to follow Vygotsky's social and materialist psychology rather than the Piagetian approach, for this has much in common with today's thinking about the social nature of technology.
However, this is something I'll continue to think about. It seems important to me, for instance, that few who study children and the internet really understand processes of age and development, tending still to treat all 'children' as equivalent, more comfortable in distinguishing ways that society approaches children of different ages than in distinguishing different approaches, understandings or abilities among children themselves.
One tension which seems to be emerging in the field of youth and digital learning is between a focus on spectacular case studies which show the potentials of online learning and more mundane examples which show typical patterns of use. Where do you fall?
Like many, I have been inspired and excited by the spectacular case studies. Yet when I interview children, or in my survey, I was far more struck by how many use the internet in a far more mundane manner, underusing its potential hugely, and often unexcited by what it could do. It was this that led me to urge that we see children's literacy in the context of technological affordances and legibilities. But it also shows to me the value of combining and contrasting insights from qualitative and quantitative work. The spectacular cases, of course, point out what could be the future for many children. The mundane realities, however, force the question - whose fault is it that many children don't use the internet in ways that we, or they, consider very exciting or demanding? It also forces the question, what can be done, something I attend to throughout the book, as I'm keen that we don't fall back into a disappointment that blames children themselves.
As you note, there are "competing models" for thinking about what privacy means
in this new information environment. How are young people sorting through these
different models and making choices about their own disclosures of information?
There's been a fair amount of adult dismay at how young people disclose personal, even intimate information online. In the book, I suggest there are several reasons for this. First, adolescence is a time of experimentation with identity and relationships, and not only is the internet admirably well suited to this but the offline environment is increasingly restrictive, with supervising teachers and worried parents constantly looking over their shoulders.
Second, some of this disclosure is inadvertent - despite their pleasure in social networking, for instance, I found teenagers to struggle with the intricacies of privacy settings, partly because they are fearful of getting it wrong and partly because they are clumsily designed and ill-explained, with categories (e.g. top friends, everyone) that don't match the subtlety of youthful friendship categories.
Third, adults are dismayed because they don't share the same sensibilities as young people. I haven't interviewed anyone who doesn't care who knows what about them, but I've interviewed many who think no-one will be interested and so they worry less about what they post, or who take care over what parents or friends can see but are not interested in the responses of perfect strangers.
In other words, young people are operating with some slightly different conceptions of privacy, but certainly they want control over who knows what about them; it's just that they don't wish to hide everything, they can't always figure out how to reveal what to whom, and anyway they wish to experiment and take a few risks.
You reviewed the literature on youth and civic engagement. What did you find? What do you see as the major factors blocking young people from getting more involved in the adult world of politics?
I suggest here that some initiatives are motivated by the challenge of stimulating the alienated, while others assume young people to be already articulate and motivated but lacking structured opportunities to participate. Some aim to enable youth to realise their present rights while others focus instead on preparing them for their future responsibilities.
These diverse motives may result in some confusion in mode of address, target group and, especially, form of participation being encouraged. Children I interview often misinterpret the invitation to engage being held out to them (online and offline) - they can be suspicious of who is inviting them to engage, quickly disappointed that if they do engage, there's often little response or recognition, and they can be concerned that to engage politically may change their image among their peers, for politics is often seen as 'boring' not 'cool'.
In my survey, I found lots of instances where children and young people take the first step - visiting a civic website, signing a petition, showing an interest - but often these lead nowhere, and that seems to be because of the response from adult society. Hence, contrary to the popular discourses that blame young people for their apathy, lack of motivation or interest, I suggest that young people learn early that they are not listened to. Hoping that the internet can enable young people to 'have their say' thus misses the point, for they are not themselves listened to. This is a failure both of effective communication between young people and those who aim to engage them, and a failure of civic or political structures - of the social structures that sustain relations between established power and the polity.

The Fiery Holy Spirit
In Pentecost, the Holy Spirit dwelt on the disciples as tongues of fire, representing purification of the heart and inflaming it with divine love.
The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of sanctification and might. (Acts 1:8; Zach. 4:6) He is the fiery Spirit of God as St. Paul mentions, “For our God is a consuming fire,” (Heb. 12:29) and as Isaiah inquires saying, “Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? Who among us shall dwell with everlasting fire?” (Is. 33:14)
Our Lord Jesus came, as He said, to bring fire on earth, and, “How I wish it were already kindled!” (Lk. 12:49) He was talking about the Holy Spirit, the fire that He kindled in every earthly heart to sanctify, purify and inflame it with the fire of love, and to give it spiritual rapture so that it becomes a heavenly heart … a divine throne, similar to the fiery Cherubic chariot.
This type of heart is fervent in spirit, (Rom. 12:11) as it is manifested in prayer, contemplation, ministry or, in general, in loving Christ, His Church and His kingdom. This type of heart is also resolute in facing sin, leading to the sanctification of one's feelings and emotions for the sake of God – to live a life of joy, thanksgiving and sanctification.Continue reading…
Christ’s Resurrection and Ours
Isaiah prophesied that death would be trampled under Christ’s feet by saying, “He will swallow up death forever, and the Lord God will wipe away tears from all faces; the rebuke of His people He will take away from all the earth; for the Lord has spoken” (Is. 25:8). It is well known that sin is a reproach to any people (Prov. 14:34). St. Paul invoked this prophecy by saying, “For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive” (1Cor. 15:22). That is, all men die like Adam because of the corrupted nature inherited from him, but we receive a new life, through Christ, in our bodies since our life in Christ leads us to our blessed resurrection. Through Christ’s resurrection, we are able to sing joyfully the song of victory, “O death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory?” (1 Cor. 15:55), the same song foretold by the prophet Hosea about death which lost its power by the Savior: “I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death. O Death, I will be your plagues! O grave, I will be your destruction!” (Hos 13:14).
If Christ is not risen, we will not rise; eternal death will be the end of our life, and we will be of all men the most pitiable (1Cor 15:19). If the hope we have in Christ is ended by this life, we’ll be deceived because we are suffering the afflictions of this life without legitimate hope in the life to come.
Christ’s resurrection is the perfect assurance for our resurrection, as St. Paul said, “But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep” (1 Cor 15:20). He proved the fact of Christ’s resurrection without a doubt, which does not need any further proofs (1Cor 15:1-58), but gives hope and joy to the believers in eternal life. St. Paul declared that Christ, through His resurrection, became the firstfruits, meaning others who have “fallen asleep” will rise from the dead as well.
He Ascended into Heaven
St. Luke is the only one who documented the date of the ascension of Christ, and the only one who described the beautiful scene of the ascension, as he writes that our Lord Jesus Christ took His disciples outside of Bethany, to the Mount of Olives, and He lifted up His hands and blessed them (Lk. 24:50) then He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. (Acts 1:9)
Oftentimes, clouds where a sign of the presence of God, as in the prophesies, “He bowed the heavens also, and came down with darkness under His feet. He rode upon a cherub, and flew; And He was seen upon the wings of the wind.” (2 Sam. 22:10,11), “He lays the beams of His upper chambers in the waters, who makes the clouds His chariot, who walks on the wings of the wind.” (Ps. 104:3), “I was watching in the night visions, And behold, One like the Son of Man, Coming with the clouds of heaven! He came to the Ancient of Days, And they brought Him near before Him. Then to Him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom, That all peoples, nations, and languages should serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion, Which shall not pass away, And His kingdom the one Which shall not be destroyed.” (Daniel 7:13,14)Continue reading…
I May Know Him and the Power of His Resurrection
Before the Resurrection of Christ, all people feared death because they had never yet heard about “resurrection,” until the advent of Christ, who died on the cross and was buried; but it was impossible for Him to be captured by death. This was the same with all the prophets of the Old Testament. He rose from the dead, destroying the sting of death and through His Resurrection He conquered Satan who had the power of death, as St. Paul said, ”In as much then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, and release those who through fear of death were all their life time subject to bondage.” (Heb. 2:14, 15)Continue reading…
Why the Resurrection?
The resurrection of the Lord Jesus is one of the most important Christian doctrines, upon which many other doctrines depend. It is a great miracle and a unique event, like the virginal birth of Christ. Such event hasn’t happened in history and will not happen in the future: a person rising from the dead by His own will and power as He foretold prior to his death.
Christ’s Resurrection Proves His Divinity
He rose because He is God, and because He is God He rose by His own authority since it is obvious that the dead person is normally not able to rise by himself. It proves His divinity since death is a consequence of sin and its punishment, while Christ alone is holy, pure, perfect and sinless; therefore death has no power over Him. Therefore, since He died voluntary and willingly, for our salvation, He also rose by His will and authority. St. Paul emphasized this fact by saying, “… and declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead.” (Rom 1:4)Continue reading…

ADP released its monthly report that showed an increasingly tightened labor market in the US. Payrolls rose by 242,000 in February, well above the 119,000 positions incorporated in January (revised up from 106,000). Wage growth came in at a 7.2% annual increase, while those who changed jobs saw a wage increase of 14.3%. ADP’s chief economist Nela Richardson called the labor market conditions a “trade off.” “We’re seeing robust hiring, which is good for the economy and workers, but pay growth is still quite elevated. The modest slowdown in pay increases, on its own, is unlikely to drive down inflation rapidly in the near-term.” Leisure and hospitality saw the most notable gains (83,000), followed by financial services (62,000), and manufacturing (43,000). The Labor Department will release its monthly nonfarm payrolls report this Friday, a closer indicator of the true labor conditions in America.
