Since La La Land first premiered way back in August at the Venice Film Festival, Damien Chazelle’s film has stood as the favorite to win Best Picture, and its vice-like grip on the category has only intensified through awards season. BAFTA, the Golden Globes, the Directors Guild, the Producers Guild, even the town’s editors voted it their picture of the year — and the Oscars bestowed the modern-day musical with a record-tying 14 total nominations. (The only other films with 14 nominations in Academy Awards history, All About Eve and Titanic, both won Best Picture trophies.)
But as Oscars voting comes to a close on Tuesday, we have to wonder: Is there an alternate ending to Sunday night, one where Moonlight — a film made for $1.5 million that has grossed over $21 million at the box office — could upend the evening’s expected proceedings? It’s highly unlikely and we wouldn’t advise changing your Oscar pool but here are three reasons why Moonlight could pull off one of the biggest Oscars upsets of all time.
This past weekend Moonlight beat out La La Land at the Writers Guild Awards for best original screenplay. Which is not necessarily a canary in the coal mine — Barry Jenkins’ Moonlight script is an expected Oscar winner, albeit in the adapted screenplay category and not original screenplay, where La La Land may triumph — but perhaps points to flagging guild support for Chazelle’s film. Bear in mind, Lion won with the cinematographers guild over La La Land earlier this month, and the La La Land cast missed out on a best ensemble nomination from the Screen Actors Guild, the Academy’s biggest branch of voters. Speaking of…
La La Land wasn’t nominated at the Screen Actors Guild for best ensemble. This has been explained by team La La as the SAG nominating committee viewing the musical as a two-hander between SAG winner Emma Stone and nominee Ryan Gosling rather than a true ensemble film. But the last best picture winner to capture the award without a corresponding ensemble nomination from the Screen Actors Guild is 1995’s Braveheart. For its part, Moonlight was nominated by SAG in the ensemble category … but lost to fellow best picture nominee Hidden Figures. Which weakens the case for Moonlight, also might suggest the actors’ branch is not as set on its winner as many assume.
Since the results of last year’s presidential election were made official, the atmosphere around the country has become politically charged in ways not seen for years. Heading into Oscars week, agencies are planning rallies instead of parties, nominees are deliberating just how political they are going to get Sunday night should they win, and the idea of sending a message for what Hollywood stands for has to be on the minds of some voters. It’s certainly on the mind of Academy member Mark Duplass, who wrote an impassioned letter published over the weekend urging voters to choose Moonlight. Duplass isn’t a producer on Moonlight, nor does he have a financial stake in its success; rather, the multi-hyphenate was so moved by Jenkins’ unique coming-of-age tale that he wanted voters to consider it more closely in their choice for best picture. He calls it “a miracle” and “important” but more than that he explains why it matters so much to him, especially at this time when the country is so divided. He calls it a “small but sturdy bridge,” adding this: “It is important because it reaches beyond its specific characters and tells the story of all of our dreams and collective life experiences. It simultaneously tells a harsh truth and, miraculously, does it with an air of hope. It is the kind of film I have been trying to figure out how to make for my entire career.”
La La Land, of course, can also be described as a type of film other filmmakers have been trying to make for their entire careers — and, certainly, Chazelle spent years working to get it off the ground. For his skill and effort, the 32-year-old will likely become the youngest best director winner in Oscars history. But if Moonlight pulls off its improbable best picture upset, maybe that’s fitting; after all, Chazelle ends La La Land on a note of bittersweet recognition that people can’t always get what they want.

HPV Update: Vaccination, Screening, and Associated Disease
- 2.9k Downloads
Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is the causative agent in cervical cancer, and is associated with numerous other genital cancers, including vulvar, vaginal, and anal cancer. Primary prevention with HPV vaccination is safe and efficacious, and a recently approved HPV vaccine will provide even more extensive protection against several oncogenic HPV strains. Screening strategies for HPV are rapidly evolving, reflecting the essential role that HPV infection plays in cervical cancer. This article highlights new evidence regarding the efficacy of the recently approved 9-valent HPV (9vHPV) vaccine and the use of primary high-risk HPV testing in cervical cancer screening. We consider the utility of urinary HPV testing in routine clinical practice and review current guidelines regarding anal HPV screening.
KEY WORDSHPV vaccination screening cervical cancer prevention
In the United States, approximately 33,000 cases of human papilloma virus (HPV)-associated cancers are diagnosed annually.1 Oncogenic HPV strains are detected in almost all cases of cervical cancer and in the majority of vulvar, vaginal, and anal cancers.2 Vaccination against high-risk HPV (hrHPV) subtypes is safe and effective, and is recommended routinely for females and males starting at age 11 or 12 years.3 Secondary prevention through cervical cancer screening and follow-up of detected abnormalities has reduced the incidence of cervical cancer in the United States to fewer than 13,000 cases annually.4 However, there have been many new developments in recent years in both primary and secondary prevention of cervical cancer. Three vaccines are now approved for prevention of infection with hrHPV, and new guidelines endorse screening for HPV infection as well as cytologic abnormalities. Clinicians may struggle to incorporate all of this new evidence into practice, wondering which vaccine to choose, and how and with what frequency they should screen for HPV. In this narrative review article, we discuss the updates in HPV vaccination and screening that are most relevant to the general internist in their everyday clinical care.
Ms. Jones is a 26-year-old nursing student presenting for routine primary care. She has not seen a health care provider in several years. She has no medical problems and does not take any medications. She is sexually active with one male partner and has an IUD in place for contraception. She exercises regularly, eats a well-balanced diet, and has received her tetanus and pertussis vaccine. She has been reading about a new HPV vaccine and wonders whether it is an appropriate option for her.
The bivalent HPV vaccine targets subtypes 16 and 18, which cause 70 % of cervical cancers; the quadrivalent vaccine (4vHPV) extends this coverage by additionally targeting subtypes 6 and 11, which cause 90 % of genital warts. Both vaccines are highly effective in preventing cervical dysplasia.5,6 Countries that have achieved high coverage with the 4vHPV vaccine have seen dramatic reductions in genital warts and infection with HPV 16 and 18.7,8
The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommends routine HPV vaccination starting at age 11 or 12 years, though the series can be started as early as 9 years of age. Vaccination is also recommended for females ages 13 through 26 years and for males ages 13 through 21 years who have not completed the three-dose series. Men up to age 26 should also be vaccinated if they have sex with men or are immunocompromised.3
Despite the proven effectiveness of the HPV vaccines in preventing cervical cancer, most girls in the United States, including our patient, have not been fully immunized. According to data from the 2014 National Immunization Survey, only 39.7 % of girls ages 13–17 in the United States had completed the recommended three-dose HPV vaccination series; 60 % had received at least one dose. Although HPV vaccination coverage among females appears to be slowly increasing, it still lags behind the tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis (Tdap), and meningococcal vaccines, indicating missed opportunities for administering HPV vaccine at visits when these other vaccines are given.9
A new 9-valent HPV vaccine (9vHPV) was approved by the FDA in December 2014 for females ages 9–26 and males ages 9–15. In addition to the four HPV subtypes (6, 11, 16, and 18) found in the quadrivalent vaccine (i.e. the subtypes that cause 70 % of cervical cancer and 90 % of genital warts), it includes five additional oncogenic HPV subtypes (31, 33, 45, 52, and 58), which cause an additional 15 % of cervical cancer.
Joura et al. describe the results of a randomized trial that compared the efficacy of the 9vHPV and quadrivalent vaccines among 14,000 women ages 16–26 years who were followed for 4.5 years.10 Women received either the quadrivalent or 9vHPV vaccine, each given in the same three-dose series (day 1, repeated in 2 and 6 months); there was no placebo control arm. The investigators performed a “per-protocol” analysis, which included only those participants who were negative at study entry for all five of the additional HPV subtypes included in the 9vHPV and who received all three doses of their assigned vaccine. Among the women in this group, the new vaccine was 96.7 % effective for preventing significant dysplasia (cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 2 or higher) caused by those five subtypes. In contrast, in the intention-to-treat analysis, which evaluated the effectiveness of the vaccine in all study women regardless of their baseline HPV status, the efficacy of the 9vHPV vaccine was equivalent to that of the quadrivalent vaccine (14 cases of dysplasia per 1000 women). Thus, the 9vHPV vaccine was shown to extend the coverage to additional oncogenic subtypes, but only among women who were naïve to the additional subtypes at the time of vaccine administration. The safety profile of the 9vHPV resembles that of the quadrivalent vaccine, with the exception of greater redness and swelling at the injection site with the newer vaccine.11
Should we offer the 9vHPV vaccine to our patient instead of the quadrivalent vaccine? Does the fact that she is already sexually active affect our recommendation? For our patient, if both the 4vHPV and 9vHPV vaccines were equally priced and available, we would recommend using the 9vHPV vaccine and starting the immunizations immediately. If there were any barriers to getting the 9vHPV today, we would administer the quadrivalent vaccine today. A cost-effectiveness analysis revealed that using the 9vHPV in both males and females was cost-saving when compared with the quadrivalent vaccine for both sexes, assuming that the 9vHPV cost only $13 more per dose than the quadrivalent vaccine.12
However, the cost of the 9vHPV vaccine as of February 2016 was $17–26 more per dose than the quadrivalent vaccine.13
In March 2015, the ACIP updated their guidelines to allow substitution of the 9vHPV vaccine for the quadrivalent vaccine.11 These recommendations indicate that providers may use the 9-strain vaccine to complete any series for male or female patients who have received one or two doses of the earlier vaccines. However, administration of the 9vHPV vaccine is not recommended if the patient has received all three doses of another HPV vaccine (although available data show no serious safety concerns in persons who were vaccinated with the 9vHPV vaccine after having received a three-dose series of the quadrivalent HPV vaccine at least 12 months earlier).14 Cervical cancer screening is recommended beginning at age 21 years and continuing through age 65 years for both vaccinated and unvaccinated women, and an abnormal cervical cancer screening test (cytology or hrHPV test) should be treated the same way regardless of whether a woman has received an HPV vaccination. Completing an HPV vaccination series is recommend for all females ages 9–26, even if they have already had an abnormal pap smear and/or positive hrHPV screen, since they may still benefit from immunity to the other subtypes in the vaccine.
Ms. Jones returns for follow-up 4 years after her initial visit. She received just two of the three vaccine doses that were recommended. She has a new sexual partner and is concerned about whether she might have acquired HPV from him, especially since she forgot about her third vaccination. She would like you to perform the “most up-to-date test” to screen for HPV and cervical cancer.
Number of Doses and Vaccine Efficacy
The three-dose HPV vaccination schedule poses challenges in ensuring that individuals receive all the recommended doses. One question frequently arises: if an individual receives fewer than the recommended number of doses, how much protection does he/she receive?
A recent population-based study assessed the relationship between the number of doses of the quadrivalent vaccine received and the incidence of condyloma (genital warts).15 Although the main goal of HPV vaccination is to prevent cervical cancer, the quadrivalent vaccine also prevents genital condyloma, a clinical outcome which typically develops earlier than cervical cancer. A cohort of over one million females aged 10–24 years living in Sweden (where subsidized and free vaccination programs for girls were in place) were followed between 2006 and 2010 for the incidence of condyloma. Ninety-nine percent of those vaccinated received the quadrivalent vaccine. Condyloma cases were identified through the use of the Swedish patient register, and linked with the Prescribed Drug Register, which contained information on the number of HPV vaccine doses received. The main outcomes were the incidence rate ratios and the incidence rate differences between vaccinated and unvaccinated females at the various doses.
Receipt of three doses of the vaccine was associated with the greatest reduction in number of condyloma cases (459 fewer per 100,000 person-years). However, a significant reduction was also seen with receipt of only one or two doses (384 and 400 fewer per 100,000 person-years, respectively), suggesting that a significant amount of vaccine efficacy is achieved with even the initial dose of the vaccine. Thus, our patient can be reassured that the amount of vaccine she received likely afforded her significant protection against HPV infection. However, this study did not answer the important question regarding the relationship between the number of vaccine doses and the incidence of cervical cancer, which is the main goal of HPV vaccination.

Primary hrHPV testing age 25+
The results of the ATHENA trial, as well as additional studies similarly demonstrating improved sensitivity of primary hrHPV testing compared to cytology,18 prompted an expert panel to publish interim clinical guidelines in 2015 regarding the use of primary hrHPV screening in clinical practice.19 These guidelines suggest that (1) hrHPV screening may be considered as an alternative to a cytology-based screening strategy, (2) hrHPV screening should begin no earlier than age 25 and no sooner than 3 years after the last normal cytology test, and (3) re-testing after a negative primary hrHPV screen should occur no sooner than 3 years. For performing hrHPV screening, only an HPV assay approved for primary screening should be used (only the Roche cobas HPV Test is FDA-approved); performance characteristics vary among the four available tests, and thus they cannot be used interchangeably at this time. The panel stated that, based on limited evidence, the triage protocol shown in Figure 1 was reasonable.
The panel had concerns about harms, stating that “progression to cancer is uncommon, and detection of most of the disease found in the 25–29-year age group can be safely deferred until age 30 and older.” They pointed out that cytology alone or co-testing are currently the only screening options recommended by all major societies, which include the American Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology, the American Cancer Society, the United States Preventive Services Task Force, and the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.16,20,21 In addition, the more recent Best Practice Advice released in June 2015 by the American College of Physicians included the recommendation that hrHPV testing should not begin before age 30.22
Urinary HPV Screening
Detection of cervical HPV in the urine represents a potentially more accessible and acceptable method, by avoiding the need for a pelvic examination.23 However, how accurate is this method for the detection of cervical HPV? This was evaluated in a recent meta-analysis,24 in which studies eligible for inclusion compared the detection of HPV in urine with detection in the cervix in any sexually active woman concerned about HPV infection or the development of cervical cancer. Urine positivity was compared with clinician-collected cervical swab positivity for any HPV, any hrHPV, and HPV 16 and 18.
Test Characteristics of Urinary HPV: Pooled Estimates24
Pooled sensitivity (95 % CI)
Pooled specificity (95 % CI)
Urinary detection of any HPV
87 % (78–92 %)
94 % (82–98 %)
Urinary detection of any high-risk HPV*
77 % (68–84 %)
88 % (58–97 %)
Urinary detection of HPV 16 and 18
73 % (56–86 %)
98 % (91–100 %)
This study of diagnostic accuracy did not assess the important outcome of invasive cancer or even of CIN. In addition, although the overall test sensitivity and specificity were reasonably high, the individual sensitivity and specificity varied significantly among studies. Based on these data, urine HPV testing will likely be an acceptable alternative to cervical HPV testing in the future for hard-to-reach patient populations.
For our patient, we would continue to recommend cervical sampling for HPV detection, and consider urinary HPV testing only if cervical testing were not feasible. Since Ms. Jones is now 30, it would be reasonable to perform co-testing with cytology and hrHPV screening, according to current guidelines.
You review the current guidelines with Ms. Jones. Since she is 30, she can choose to be screened with cytology alone or cytology and hrHPV testing. She chooses the latter option. Ms. Jones’ screening test demonstrates normal cervical cytology, but her HPV test is positive, and you call her to discuss follow-up recommendations. She is very anxious about this result and what it means for her future health. In particular, her aunt had been diagnosed with anal cancer, and Ms. Jones has read that HPV can be associated with this disease. She wonders if she should receive additional screening and evaluation.
The incidence of anal cancer has been increasing in recent years. While the highest rates have been observed in men who have sex with men (MSM), especially those who are HIV-positive,25 more than 3000 cases are diagnosed annually among US women.26 HPV infection of the anal canal is detected in more than 80 % of anal cancers, and is closely linked to the development of anal precursor lesions, including anal intraepithelial neoplasia (AIN) 1, 2, and 3.27 Women with HPV-associated lower genital tract pathology are at increased risk for anal cancer,28 but the relationship between cervical HPV infection, cervical dysplasia, and anal HPV has not been clearly defined.
In an attempt to more clearly delineate this association, Sehnal et al. investigated the prevalence of anal HPV infection among women referred for colposcopy.29 Subjects were categorized as “low-risk” if the biopsy specimen was consistent with CIN 1 or a non-neoplastic diagnosis (endometrial polyp, irregular bleeding), and were categorized as “high-risk” if the biopsy showed CIN 2, CIN 3, or more severe disease. Concurrent cervical and anal HPV infections were more common in the high-risk than the low-risk group, increasing with the severity of disease (CIN 1: 15.8 %, CIN 2: 27.8 %, CIN 3: 48.5 %). Fifty-one percent of cervical and 48.6 % of anal HPV infections were related to HPV 16. Notably, in this study, concurrent infection was not associated with smoking, history of genital warts, unprotected vaginal intercourse, or anal intercourse. No evidence was provided regarding the management or outcomes among women diagnosed with anal HPV infections.
A recently published systematic review provided additional information regarding the natural history of anal HPV in women.26 One of the included studies reported on the incidence and clearance of anal HPV infection among 431 sexually active women (average age 39 years). Approximately 50 % of women had anal HPV infections, but the mean duration of infection was only 5 months, suggesting rapid clearance of the infection in most women. In contrast to the Sehnal study, publications included in this systematic review found that anal intercourse, lifetime number of partners, and genital warts were associated with anal HPV infection. The prevalence of high-grade anal lesions and anal cancer among HIV-positive women was significantly higher than among HIV-negative women (high-grade anal lesions: 3–26 % vs. 0–3 %; anal cancer: standardized incidence ratio 18.5 vs. 0). Women with cervical cancer or severe cervical dysplasia also had a higher incidence of anal cancer, with incidence ratios ranging between 0.8 and 63.8 per 100,000 person-years.
Researchers pooled similar data on the incidence and progression of anal HPV infection among HIV-positive and HIV-negative MSM.25 Results revealed that hrHPV anal infection was more common among HIV-positive than HIV-negative MSM (pooled prevalence 73.5 % [CI 63.9–83.0 %] vs. 37.2 % [CI 27.4–47.0 %]). Similarly, anal cytologic abnormalities were more prevalent among HIV-positive individuals (pooled prevalence 63.1 % [CI 52.6–73.6 %] vs. 29.2 % [CI 12.3–46.2 %]). Nine of the included studies provided data regarding the incidence of anal cancer, which was significantly higher among HIV-positive MSM (pooled incidence 45.9 per 100,000 men vs. 5.1 per 100,000 men).
Although hrHPV anal infection is associated with anal cytological abnormalities, it is unclear whether screening for these reduces the risk of anal cancer. Little is known about the natural history of anal dysplasia, including the frequency of progression from low-grade to high-grade abnormalities and cancer, and whether follow-up high-resolution anoscopy improves outcomes.30 As a result, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) does not currently recommend routine screening for hrHPV with anal cytology, although the guidelines acknowledge that some clinicians may choose to perform anal pap testing among certain high-risk patients (such as persons with HIV infection and MSM), and to follow up abnormal results with high-resolution anoscopy.31 Transgender women in particular have high rates of HIV infection and may engage in risky sexual behavior (unprotected receptive anal intercourse, multiple casual partners),32 and the CDC recommends taking a careful anatomical and sexual history to fully assess the risk for sexually transmitted infections in this group of individuals. In contrast to the CDC guidelines, the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene does specifically recommend annual anal pap testing among HIV-positive MSM as well as among HIV-positive women with a history of cervical or vulvar dysplasia or genital warts.33
Based on the evidence above, we can counsel our patient that many women with anal HPV will clear their infection rapidly, and based on current national guidelines, there is no role for anal pap testing. However, we would continue to recommend safe sexual practices, including the use of condoms during intercourse.
HPV infection is common and is associated with numerous genital cancers. Vaccination is effective for the primary prevention of HPV infection, and the recently approved 9vHPV vaccine will provide protection against multiple hrHPV subtypes when given early, prior to the onset of sexual activity. Increasing evidence suggests that primary hrHPV screening beginning at age 25 is more sensitive for detecting high-grade cervical dysplasia compared to cytology alone, and can detect high-grade dysplasia earlier than co-testing with cytology and hrHPV beginning at age 30. The increased sensitivity associated with primary hrHPV testing also leads to an increased number of colposcopies, and thus increased costs, without clearly improving health outcomes. Major US guidelines continue to recommend cytology or co-testing for screening. Urinary hrHPV testing is a new screening modality, but is not yet available in all labs and should be used only in women who cannot tolerate or access cervical screening. Anal HPV infection has been associated with anal dysplasia, but the natural history of the progression to anal cancer is unclear, and anal pap testing is not currently recommended.

If your puppy just can’t seem to get the hang of potty training at this point and continuously has accidents in the house, you may consider taking him to a veterinarian to rule out any medical conditions. It’s possible that he has a physical issue that’s impeding his ability to “hold it,” in which case you would want to get him help for the condition as soon as possible. more Now that you’ve established a routine around bathroom breaks, you can start to increase the time between your puppy’s outdoor visits. A good general rule of thumb to determine how often your dog needs to go outside is that a puppy can “hold it” for about as many hours as he is months old, plus one. That means, for example, that if your dog is three months old, he should be able to “hold it” for up to four hours. Remember, though, that he will still need a potty break shortly after his meals as well as first thing in the morning.
In the UK between 2005 and 2013, there were 17 fatal dog attacks. In 2007–08, there were 4,611 hospital admissions due to dog attacks, which increased to 5,221 in 2008–09. It was estimated in 2013 that more than 200,000 people a year are bitten by dogs in England, with the annual cost to the National Health Service of treating injuries about £3 million. A report published in 2014 stated there were 6,743 hospital admissions specifically caused by dog bites, a 5.8% increase from the 6,372 admissions in the previous 12 months.
Step 1: Using either a laser pointer or touch stick, get your dog in the habit of jumping up to touch the light switch. It is best to have him jump up with his pads on the wall (instead of his claws) touching the switch with his nose. I used a laser pointer here, because I would play with it as a game, knowing that he would really go after it—even if it's on a wall.
This collar from Educator is great for dog owners who want an alternative to a traditional shock collar. Rather than using a “sharp” static shock, it relies on “blunt” stimulation technology that has an effect that feels more like a strong tap. Educator describes this as less stressful for dogs, but just as effective for motivating them to comply. It also includes a Pavlovian Tone feature (named for the famed conditioning study), where dogs learn to respond to the sound before the stimulation rather than the stimulation itself. Puppy Training Do not scold your dog harshly if you catch him urinating in the wrong place. Calmly say, "No," and bring him to his potty place with a piece of soiled paper towel. Only scold your dog for going in the wrong place if you catch her in the act. Do not drag her back to a puddle to scold her. She will not understand that it is the location of the urine that is the problem and may even begin to fear urinating in front of you.
It’s best not to punish the puppy for making a mistake. Instead, focus on praising appropriate bathroom behavior. If you catch your puppy in the act, interrupt it by saying “No!” in a firm voice or clapping your hands loudly, then take the puppy outside to finish going to the bathroom. Never swat your puppy, yell at it, or try to rub its nose in the mess.
Inappropriate urination and defecation are among the most frustrating dog behaviors. They can damage areas of your home and make your dog unwelcome in public places or at the homes of others. It is most important that you discuss this behavior with your veterinarian first to rule out health problems. If no medical cause is found, try to determine the reason for the behavior, which can come down to one of the following:
Consequences must be consistent When training your dog, you-and everyone else who interacts with her-should respond the same way to things she does every time she does them. For example, if you sometimes pet your dog when she jumps up to greet you but sometimes yell at her instead, she’s bound to get confused. How can she know when it’s okay to jump up and when it’s not?
Begging is a bad habit, but many dog owners actually encourage it. This can lead to digestive problems and obesity. Dogs beg because they love food. However, table scraps are not treats, and food is not love. Yes, it is hard to resist that longing look, but giving in "just this once" creates a problem in the long run. When you teach your dog that begging is permitted, you are sending the wrong message.
You should always accompany your puppy outside for potty breaks. You’re there not only to ensure that he actually goes, you’re also there to reward your puppy with a treat for going in the proper spot. Wait until your puppy finishes eliminating and immediately give him a tasty reward for a job well done. If you wait until you get back in the house, your puppy won’t make the connection between his elimination and the reward. go here for more Consequences must be consistent When training your dog, you-and everyone else who interacts with her-should respond the same way to things she does every time she does them.

The term personality has been applied to human research, whereas the term temperament has been mostly used for animal research. However, both terms have been used interchangeably in the literature, or purely to distinguish humans from animals and avoid anthropomorphism. Personality can be defined as “a set of behaviors that are consistent over context and time”. Studies of dogs' personalities have tried to identify the presence of broad personality traits that are stable and consistent over time. how to potty train a puppy Dogs expel most of their body heat from their mouths. When your dog pants, he's probably too warm, so he is regulating his body temperature. However, it's important to pay attention to panting, as he may do it when in pain as well. Help your pal regulate his temperature and make sure he's well hydrated before any physical activity–especially as the weather warms up. If your dog was injured, get him to the vet immediately. Some other health problems may also show increased panting as a sign, so if you have a question, don't hesitate to contact your vet.
Despite claims in the popular press, studies could not find evidence of a single predation on cattle by feral dogs. However, domestic dogs were responsible for the death of 3 calves over one 5-year study. Other studies in Europe and North America indicate only limited success in the consumption of wild boar, deer and other ungulates, however it could not be determined if this was predation or scavenging on carcasses. Studies have observed feral dogs conducting brief, uncoordinated chases of small game with constant barking - a technique without success.
The most important part of training your dog is teaching her that it pays to do things you like. But your dog also needs to learn that it doesn’t pay to do things you don’t like. Fortunately, discouraging unwanted behavior doesn’t have to involve pain or intimidation. You just need to make sure that behavior you dislike doesn’t get rewarded. Most of the time, dog motivations aren’t mysterious. They simply do what works! Dogs jump up on people, for example, because people pay attention to them as a result. They can learn not to jump up if we ignore them when they jump up instead. It can be as simple as turning away or staring at the sky when your dog jumps up to greet or play with you. As soon as she sits, you can give her the attention she craves. If you stick to this plan, your dog will learn two things at once. Doing something you like (sitting) reliably works to earn what she wants (attention), and doing things you don’t like (jumping up) always results in the loss of what she wants.
If you’d like to learn how to train your dog or if your dog has a behavior problem you’d like to resolve, don’t hesitate get help from a qualified professional trainer or behaviorist. To learn more about locating the right expert for you and your dog, please see our article, Finding Professional Help. Many Certified Pet Dog Trainers (CPDTs) and Certified Applied Animal Behaviorists (CAABs or ACAABs) offer telephone consultations, in-home private consultations and training sessions, and group classes. dog training collar
Research has shown that there are individual differences in the interactions between dogs and their human that have significant effects on dog behavior. In 1997, a study showed that the type of relationship between dog and master, characterized as either companionship or working relationship, significantly affected the dog's performance on a cognitive problem-solving task. They speculate that companion dogs have a more dependent relationship with their owners, and look to them to solve problems. In contrast, working dogs are more independent.
Dogs differ from wolves and most other large canid species as they generally do not regurgitate food for their young, nor the young of other dogs in the same territory. However, this difference was not observed in all domestic dogs. Regurgitating of food by the females for the young, as well as care for the young by the males, has been observed in domestic dogs, dingos and in feral or semi-feral dogs. In one study of a group of free-ranging dogs, for the first 2 weeks immediately after parturition the lactating females were observed to be more aggressive to protect the pups. The male parents were in contact with the litters as ‘guard’ dogs for the first 6–8 weeks of the litters’ life. In absence of the mothers, they were observed to prevent the approach of strangers by vocalizations or even by physical attacks. Moreover, one male fed the litter by regurgitation showing the existence of paternal care in some free-roaming dogs. more on this Some training methods use punishment, like leash corrections and scolding, to discourage dogs from doing everything except what you want them to do. Other methods cut right to the chase and focus on teaching dogs what you do want them to do. While both tactics can work, the latter is usually the more effective approach, and it’s also much more enjoyable for you and your dog. For example, you can easily use treats, games and praise to teach your dog to sit when people approach during walks in the neighborhood. If your dog is sitting, she won’t be dragging you toward the people, jumping up when they get close enough, mouthing on their arms and legs, and so on. That’s pretty efficient training-no pain or intimidation needed. Alternatively, you could grab your dog’s leash and jerk her to the ground every time she jumps up to greet people, and you’d most likely get the same effect in the end-no more jumping up. But consider the possible fallout:
Work on only one part of a skill at a time Many of the skills we want our dogs to learn are complex. For instance, if you want to train a solid sit-stay, you’ll need to work on teaching your dog that she should stay in a sitting position until you release her (duration), she should stay while you move away from her (distance), and she should stay while distracting things are going on around her (distraction). You’ll probably both get frustrated if you try to teach her all of these things at the same time. Instead, start with just one part of the skill and, when your dog has mastered that, add another part. For example, you can work on duration first. When your dog can sit-stay for a few minutes in a quiet place with no distractions while you stand right next to her, start training her to stay while you move away from her. While you focus on that new part of the skill, go back to asking your dog to stay for just a few seconds again. When your dog can stay while you move around the room, slowly build up the duration of the stay again. Then you can add the next part-training in a more distracting environment. Again, when you make the skill harder by adding distraction, make the other parts-duration and distance-easier for a little while. If you work on all the parts of a complex skill separately before putting them together, you’ll set your dog up to succeed.
When using a crate, make sure that it is large enough to let your pup stand, turn around, and lie down comfortably. However, it should not be so large that your puppy could use a corner of the crate as an elimination spot. If your dog does start eliminating in the crate, you should stop using this method. Your puppy may have picked up this bad habit in a previous home, or he may be too young to deal with a crate. more on this One test to ascertain in which group the dominant dog was used the following criteria: When a stranger comes to the house, which dog starts to bark first or if they start to bark together, which dog barks more or longer? Which dog licks more often the other dog's mouth? If the dogs get food at the same time and at the same spot, which dog starts to eat first or eats the other dog's food? If the dogs start to fight, which dog usually wins?
Although you might think he needs some sleep, a dog yawn doesn't usually mean he's tired. He may be interested in napping, but he could also be showing a sign of fear or stress. If your dog appears to yawn at an increased rate around a new person, don't rush the introduction. He's either picking up vibes he doesn't feel comfortable with, or is fearful for a less-obvious reason. No matter what the case, a forced introduction isn't a good idea.
In the UK between 2005 and 2013, there were 17 fatal dog attacks. In 2007–08, there were 4,611 hospital admissions due to dog attacks, which increased to 5,221 in 2008–09. It was estimated in 2013 that more than 200,000 people a year are bitten by dogs in England, with the annual cost to the National Health Service of treating injuries about £3 million. A report published in 2014 stated there were 6,743 hospital admissions specifically caused by dog bites, a 5.8% increase from the 6,372 admissions in the previous 12 months. more
Give your dog the cue to go potty as soon as you reach her potty spot. If she goes, give her lots of verbal praise and a treat. If more than a minute passes without any indication that she is about to go potty, then leave the potty place and return in a few minutes to try again. If you are training indoors, it is best to go to another room. If you are training outdoors, you should go back inside before returning.
Dog aggression is exhibited by growling, snarling, showing teeth, lunging, and biting. It is important to know that any dog has the potential to show aggression, regardless of breed or history. However, dogs with violent or abusive histories and those bred from dogs with aggressive tendencies are much more likely to exhibit aggressive behavior towards people or other dogs.
Keep in mind that ditching the “alpha dog” concept doesn’t mean you have to let your dog do anything she likes. It’s fine to be the boss and make the rules-but you can do that without unnecessary conflict. Be a benevolent boss, not a bully. Good leadership isn’t about dominance and power struggles. It’s about controlling your dog’s behavior by controlling her access to things she wants. YOU have the opposable thumbs that open cans of dog food, turn doorknobs and throw tennis balls! Use them to your best advantage. If your dog wants to go out, ask her to sit before you open the door. When she wants dinner, ask her to lie down to earn it. Does she want to go for a walk? If she’s jumping up on you with excitement, wait calmly until she sits. Then clip on the leash and take your walk. Your dog will happily work for everything she loves in life. She can learn to do what you want in order to earn what she wants.
At this initial stage, we teach the dog how to learn from and interact with the handler. This establishes a bond essential for reducing stress and increasing opportunities for fun.We use food rewards to shape and lure the dog into foundation positions. Repetition is key to the dog’s learning. Once the dog is offering the behaviours freely, a ‘cue’ word is added.All work happens in our training barn, where outside distractions are minimised. dog training collar Step 1: Have your dog lay down. Wait for him to stand up. When he stands up, click and treat. Repeat this action several times until he learns that he has to stand up in order to get his treat. Standing is so natural that it is likely that the dog won't immediately understand why he is being rewarded, so it may take more repetition than usual.

Sometimes two worlds just come together so perfectly that it feels as if they have worked together before – this is the case with the newest collaboration between Mali-Koa & Flawes.
Combined this four-piece bring together Mali-Koa’s incredible vocal range and Flawes’ well-oiled unit to create an alternative pop masterpiece that sees the song be used as a platform to explore giving relationships a go.
“[It] is all about giving a relationship a chance and looking at things in a more positive light,” JC from Flawes reveals. “The chorus hook “You’re taking me Higher Than Before” centres around the realisation that being with them has vastly improved my life; life is a lot better when they are in it.”
Mali-Koa on the other hand, expresses her enthusiasm for working with the trio, “I think the boys are brilliant, so it was a no brainer for me,” she explains. “‘Higher Than Before’ felt like a natural fit, the chorus is so anthemic and uplifting, writing with JC was a day spent laughing and creating.”
This song’s stratospheric lyrics have influenced the track’s video, which features Flawes and Mali-Koa performing on top of a cloud.

I often travel away from my beloved husband, and I never felt that the words “I miss you” gave justice to my true feelings about being away from him. Recently, I finally found the words that gave true expression to my feelings, perfectly.
Guruji Mahendra Trivedi has said that “Love is like a candle. You can feel the heat and see the light. “When one is away from their loved one, the warmth is still there, but one cannot see the light.”
After hearing this, I wrote my dear husband to share this beautiful, more accurate way of expressing my feelings about being away from him:
“I miss you does not accurately describe the feeling I have when I am away from you. I feel you deeply in my heart, and I can see you, in my mind, but, the light is different when I see you in person. Then, your incandescence is more radiant.”
There is nothing more satisfying that a beautiful love relationship, and, yes, I am definitely including the beautiful relationship with the Divine, the Universe, one’s Self, as well as one’s relationship with their partner or spouse. In our marriage, our relationship with Nature, the Divine, precedes our relationship, thus enhancing it.
A good relationship warms the heart, encourages the heart to grow, and naturally resonates and reverberates with the vibrations of the Universe. The purity and innocence of Divine based love holds the relationship in resonance with the wholeness of the Universe.
My husband and I have been blessed to have a very loving relationship. We participated in a number of trainings to improve our communications, as we are from different countries with subtle cultural differences. These programs helped enhance the natural spiritual foundations in our marriage. Since my husband and I have been receiving Trivedi Energy Transmissions from Mr. Mahendra Trivedi, these foundations in our relationship, our emotional intimacy and subtle layers of communication have deepened and enhanced, beyond our expectation, on all levels.

I have often arrived on the Friday evening, frazzled, straight from work, Diane always seems to sense the mood of the group and know just what type of yoga session is required and tailors it accordingly. After a weekend of yoga, meditation, relaxation, good food and good company I leave on the Sunday, completely relaxed and rejuvenated and ready to face the world again. – Alison
Warm, welcoming & aware, Diane is a yoga teacher who genuinely practices what she preaches.
I recently joined her for a full Relaxation and Yoga Nidra day. New to practising yoga, I was indeed apprehensive. No need. Diane is a lovely, personable lady who is readily & naturally sensitive to an individual’s needs; she made me feel both comfortable and connected within her class even though I have significant hearing issues. With her help and guidance I was able to relax and enjoy an uplifting and positive experience. Her calm, soothing voice and manner helped me to regain some peace of mind to help me kick start a more virtuous cycle of self- care. For the first time in a while, I had a restful night’s sleep.
As a yoga therapist, Diane is passionate and dedicated to sharing her wealth of knowledge. She is an inspiration and I can highly recommend her sessions. – Liz

Sin Lucros BFA Exhibition Invitation << cool fold, no die cut required! (based on "explosion book" fold) Could create a brochure of the best items for sale for people to pick up as they go in or out of the exhibition.
"create a (creative) manifesto and send it out for a self-promotion. Don't just say you're creative - SHOW them you're creative" Another well-designed piece to send. Though not really my forte -too graphic design, not enough illustration.
I really love the way this book folds out, and the way that there is 2 books in which between them can create bigger pictures as well as separate information can we make the anthem fit together still if split apart. play off the versatility of the brand?
Acid Yellow " JOY" by Garima Dhawan. I love this and want to see it in so many other hot colours.
The art of taking still life portraits of people with your camera is not simple, a good close up face portrait has to balance several things: originality, good composition, quality of picture,facial and body projections.
Williams Pass It On Business Cards. This would be such a cute idea for you! Little notes of encouragement that people are supposed to pass along to someone else. With your little "notes of encouragement" thing that you do- this is sooo you!
Another nice way to feature product photography on a business card but in a more creative, artistic way

Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige & Kendrick Lamar Answer Dr. Dre’s Call in Super Bowl Halftime Trailer
We are weeks away from Super Bowl LVI, but an epic new trailer has just been released for the highly anticipated Pepsi halftime show!
The nearly four-minute trailer features all the performers, Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige, Kendrick Lamar and Dr. Dre.
In the trailer, directed by F. Gary Gray, all the performers receive a text from Dr. Dre, who asks them to head to the SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, where the Super Bowl will be held.
The trailer ends with all five performers walking in unison to the stadium.
Of working with the hip-hop icons, F. Gary Gray said in a statement, “Each time I collaborate with Dre, it seems to mark an important moment in entertainment history, from projects like ‘Friday,’ ‘Set It Off,’ ‘Straight Outta Compton,’ to now the Pepsi Super Bowl LVI Halftime Show. As a super fan, I consider it an honor and privilege to authentically build and create this moment with five of the most legendary artists in music history. It’s been a blast!"
In a another statement, Pepsi’s VP of Marketing Todd Kaplan said, “Now that we are just weeks away from the most anticipated Pepsi Super Bowl Halftime Show performance of all time, we’re bringing fans closer to the magic of what will certainly be a colossal moment in pop culture history. Given our epic lineup of five superstar talents, we wanted to deliver a cinematic experience that could properly honor each of the artists and celebrate their role in music and culture as they descend upon Los Angeles to deliver a performance for the ages.”
Kaplan added, “It was critical that we tell this story in an authentic way, so we partnered with the creative genius of both F. Gary Gray and Adam Blackstone to deliver this impactful piece of content. The trailer will be available on our Pepsi Super Bowl Halftime Show app along with a range of behind the scenes footage, fan giveaways, and so much more to ensure fans continue to get hyped for the show in the coming weeks."
While the performers will not be paid, the performance often spikes up album sales by 200-500%.
Even before they perform, the total albums sold between the five artists is 327 million. Between them all, their net worth is nearly 1.3 billion.

More Water Coming To San Diego
The San Diego County Water Authority, state and federal water agencies will celebrate the lining of the All-American Canal in Imperial County this Thursday morning. KPBS Environment Reporter Ed Joyce says the project is intended to boost San Diego water supplies.
After more than a year of construction, a 23-mile long section of the canal is now lined with concrete.
The lining is designed to conserve water that was lost to seepage in the past.
The water authority funded most of the project in exchange for the rights to the water saved by the lining.
Ken Weinberg is the authority's director of water resources.
He says the water provides a vitally needed, reliable supply at a time when regulatory restrictions and drought are limiting other sources.
"This supply is coming on line when we need it most which is during a drought when we're in shortage allocation," Weinberg said. "So we're going to have about 77,000 acre feet of supply between the All-American Canal Lining and the previous Coachella Canal lining."
Weinberg says together the linings of both canals saves enough water to supply 112,000 homes each year.

CIOs in the dark over bandwidth
More than two-thirds of IT departments fail to understand applications' demands on the network.
IT departments are failing to understand the demands on their networks, and seeing application performance fall as a result. And a significant minority of CIOs do not even know what applications their business is running.
According to a research report commissioned by Easynet and Ipanema, 69 per cent of IT staff do not know how much network bandwidth applications are using. As many as 31 per cent do not know how many applications their networks are running; unsurprisingly, 44 per cent are reporting problems with application performance.
And, although applications such as video and voice over IP are most often associated with network performance issues, the research found that the largest proportion of issues (26 per cent) were reported with line-of-business applications.
A further 21 per cent of IT professionals reported problems with "enterprise" applications. However, the respondents also predicted that video was likely to be the most demanding application in the future. And the demand on the network from cloud applications is expected to more than double.
According to Justin Fielder, CTO at Easynet, customers are increasingly reporting issues with network and application performance, yet spending on the network remains a relatively low priority for IT teams. This is being reinforced by the fact that two-thirds of IT managers surveyed said their budgets were either flat, or declining.
At the same time, though, Fielder suggested that companies are in danger of making false economies by ignoring the network demands of otherwise expensive applications, and by failing to monitor application performance properly. Improving network usage will, he said, boost real-world application performance quickly.
"We found that 55 per cent of companies relied on end users to tell them if there was something wrong with their applications," he said. "And the industry has not helped itself by providing too many ways to measure performance, when what really matters is the end users' abilities to do their jobs."
