All of our products are completely safe and nontoxic. We do have two different treatments for ringworm on humans and ringworm on pets. Our company has two different brands of products.
The All Stop brand is specifically formulated for humans and the PetsBestRx brand is specifically formulated for pets. The All Stop Medicated Skin Cream should not be used on pets because it does contain tea tree oil. This can be fatal if used on cats. We have a scabies regimen that is specifically formulated for people and a mange one that is for pets. They are different regimens. Both our people and our pet products are proven 98.5% successful through trial and studies.
For scabies on people, we offer our All Stop Mitactin Spray and Mitactin Salve. One is to be used in the morning and one at night. The salve should only be used on pin pricking areas.
For pets we offer the PetsBestRx Pet Wash, Sulfinex Cream and Mitactin Spray. If you pet has a septic smell you must use the PetsBestRx Pet Wash to treat the secondary infection. For the other products you would alternate days for treatment. For instance, one day dream the next day spray. If you follow the regimen as directed it is very successful. Our PuraCleenRx Disinfectant Spray can sanitize your environment when dealing with scabies or mange.
Ringworm does not live inside your pet’s body. Ringworm is a fungus spores that lives on your pet’s skin and or fur. The fungus spore burrows into the skin and cause the red raised ring.
Some symptoms of pet ringworm are raised red ring on the skin, hair loss and itching. Sometimes ringworm only shows up on one spot and other times there could be spreading. Cats are more susceptible to catching ringworm than dogs. Ringworm breeds and strives in a moist or wet environment.
Here at Q-Based Healthcare, we offer a safe topical treatment for ringworm on cats or ringworm on dogs. Oral treatments can be taken for pet ringworm depending on the severity. We do not offer oral treatments for ringworm because they can cause harsh side effects. If you are treating a cat with ringworm you would use our PetsBestRx Sulfinex Cream and our PetsBestRx Healing and Protection Spray. The PetsBestRx Sulfinex Cream is a drawing agent that draws the ringworm fungus spores to the surface of the skin. The PetsBestRx Healing and Protections Spray works against the ringworm fungus spores on contact. Both of these products help to repair the skin and in turn promote hair re-growth.
If you are treating a dog with ringworm you would use our PetsBestRx Sulfinex Cream, PetsBestRx Healing Gel and the PetsBestRx Pet Wash. The PetsBestRx Healing Gel and PetsBestRx Pet Wash are not to be used on cats.
One product we offer to treat your home for ringworm is our PuraCleenRx Xtreme Cleen. This is a concentrated disinfectant cleaner that can be diluted for spraying, mopping and laundering. When using Xtreme Cleen in the laundry, you will need to use it in conjunction with your normal laundry detergent. The other product we offer to ringworm in your home is our PuraCleenRx Disinfectant Spray. This is a ready to spray hospital grade disinfectant that can be used all over the home to treat for ringworm spores. Some places it can be used is your furniture, bedding and carpeting. Both of these products are fungicides. The PuraCleenRx Disinfectant Spray can be used on furniture, bedding and carpeting as well as a hard surface disinfectant.
Pet ringworm will not go away if left untreated. If you do not treat the ringworm to kill the spores it will continue to spread on the body. Ringworm can be transferred from animal to animal or from animal to human.
Some treatments used by veterinarians work and some do not. It is a luck of the draw. The most common reason that pet ringworm vet treatments do not work is because the owners are not treating the environment.
Ringworm is highly contagious and the spores will be left all over the home while your pet is suffering with this affliction. If you are not treating for ringworm in your home, your pet is become re-infected all over again every day. We do have products that are completely safe, nontoxic and non-staining to treat for pet ringworm as well as your home. These products are proven 98.5% successful through trials and studies.
Please make sure to pay attention to the regimen for pet ringworm provided in your package. Our guarantee is contingent that you contact a customer service representative within the first seven days of your ringworm treatment if you are not showing any signs of improvement. This will allow our company to specialize a regimen for your pet because not every pet is the same. Remember it is very important to treat your home for ringworm. One product we offer to treat your home for ringworm is our PuraCleenRx Xtreme Cleen. This is a concentrated disinfectant cleaner that can be diluted for spraying, mopping and laundering.
The other product we offer to ringworm in your home is our PuraCleenRx Disinfectant Spray. This is a ready to spray hospital grade disinfectant that can be used all over the home to treat for ringworm spores. Both of these products are fungicides. The PuraCleenRx Disinfectant Spray can be used on furniture, bedding and carpeting as well as a hard surface disinfectant.
Ringworm can show almost any place on your pet, where the fungus spores have burrowed under the skin. The most common spots for ringworm on pets is the ears, face, tail and paws. Ringworm is highly contagious and can spread very rapidly.
No your pet cannot directly get a yeast infection from ear mites. The presence of ear mites on your pet can cause the pet’s immune system to lower.
Once your pet’s immune system is lowered they are more susceptible to getting yeast infections, ringworm and other secondary bacterial infections. Ear mites can also cause your pet to have ear infections in the ear depending on the severity of the ear mite infestation. It is important to treat an ear mite infestation as soon as you start to see symptoms.
Lack of treatment of ear mites can cause hear loss in your pets. We treat ear mites with our PetsBestRx Mitactin Spray and PetsBestRx Healing and Protection Spray in the ear. When treating for ear mites, it is also important to treat your environment because this condition is highly contagious.
We do offer our All Stop DE-Stroy Pest Control Eco Dust to treat your home for ear mites. This is a food grade diatomaceous earth powder that is completely safe to use around kids and pets as well as yourself.
We also have two disinfectant sprays for your home, these are our PuraCleenRx Disinfectant Spray and our PuraCleenRx Xtreme Cleen. For your pet’s heath we offer our PetsBestRx Mighty Vites to naturally boost your pet’s immune system. This would help them to fight any infection that may be in the ear and also to heal quickly from ear mites. Also if your pet is being given immune booster vitamins they would be less likely to catch a yeast infection or any other bacterial infection.
More information on “can yeast infections be caused by ear mites?”
Although ear mites cannot cause yeast infections directly but they certainly make your pet more prone to acquiring yeast infections. Ear mites can make your pet susceptible to yeast infections in two main ways. First by lowering the immunity of the body and causing stress and second by predisposing the effected parts to yeast secondary bacterial infection. Ear mites can cause lacerations and wounds in ear some times, which favor the growth of yeast. Yeast usually affects the skin of pets and can make the condition more severe, by causing hair loss and making patches on your pet’s body. Your pet will end up looking unpleasant at the end of the day.
It is recommended to treat ear mites as early as possible to avoid further aggravation of the problem. Ear mites if accompanied by secondary bacterial infections and yeast infections can cause serious health risks to your pet.
The PetsBestRx Healing Gel is suggested for use on dogs and larger animals. It is not to be used on cats or more delicate animals. In your ringworm treatment for dogs you need to alternate using the PetsBestRx Healing Gel and the PetsBestRx Sulfinex Cream.
Sometimes your pet can get sick from ringworm which depends on the severity of the ringworm infection. Having ringworm can cause your pet’s immune system to become impaired. This will make them more susceptible to getting some sort of staph infection.
Dogs and cats do not use the same products to treat for pet ringworm. If you are treating a dog with ringworm you would use our PetsBestRx Sulfinex Cream, PetsBestRx Healing Gel and the PetsBestRx Pet Wash.

Thanksgiving is a time of joy and appreciation. It’s a time when family and friends gather together and give thanks for all that they have. Most importantly to give thanks to God for surrounding us with outstanding and loving people. It’s also a time to reflect and be grateful for the things we have. Things like food, a bed, a house, and many other resources we need in a daily basis. Personally I am grateful for many important reasons. Although I have quite a few, I’m mostly grateful to God .
Many people think that the last Thursday of November should be saved to say thank you to their beloved ones. Or to eat a big stuffed turkey with a side of mashed potatoes. Maybe it’s a good excuse to purposely sound mushy without feeling embarrassed. I think that everyday should be a thanksgiving day. To wake up and be grateful for the air that we breathe. Try to say thank you to the teacher more often or your principal for that matter. Be thankful for the dinners our moms make or dad if you’re lucky. What I’m trying to say is to be thankful everyday instead of just once a year. Say thank you or at least show your gratitude.
Although I do not believe that there should only be one day of thanksgiving, my family and I gather together every year. We each bring a dish to share with everyone. My family isn’t scattered around different countries like everyone else’s. We like to make holidays easy by living close to one another. But Before we eat we thank God and everyone else who came and joined us. My family isn’t your ordinary family. Actually not your everyday Mexican family. We sit for hours around the dinner table talking about random things and it usually ends up being a contest to who can tell the scariest story. That’s not the end to our thanksgiving story. My oldest uncle loves to sing so a few years back he decided to buy a karaoke station. Now every holiday he brings it out until the last person leaves. Even if we don’t know how to sing he will drag you over and make you sing the hardest song ever. Our thanksgiving ends with hugs, laughter, and a race to a Black Friday line. Half of us actually like sleeping.
I have so many things to be grateful for, my mom, my health, and I can go on but it’s a long list. All of this I owe it to God. I mean I have the awesomest family and friends. I have so many reasons to smile and be thankful for. I say this from the bottom of heart that God has helped me through thick and thin. If it wasn’t for him I wouldn’t of been in Mountain View Academy any of my four high school years. He has provided such wonderful people in my life who have also helped me tremendously. He gave me a loving mom who has been both mom and dad. I’m very lucky for the life I have received. I thank God for everything.
In conclusion, thanksgiving for me is everyday. Each day we should be grateful for the things that make us happy. From the biggest to the smallest things. If it’s a person or a thing. Don’t forget to show love and appreciation before it’s too late. Thanksgiving is a time of happiness.

By Beatrice MacNeil
I am standing behind my eight-foot table at the Sydney Terminal in Cape Breton, where I have been selling my books to the cruise ship passengers for nearly a decade. My first destination is to Tasmania, on the rim of eastern Australia.
A grandmother bought four copies of my children’s book The Cat that Ate the Moon. She tells me something about each grandchild as I sign each book. “I’m all the way from Tasmania,” she says. “You’ve no doubt heard of us, surrounded by those growling, ugly devils. They can be quite annoying little creatures, but you would really love the country if you’d come for a visit.” I ask her to keep my books safe from the clenches of the devils as she walks away.
A young woman from New York picks up a copy of the children’s book. She is quite amused by the pictures. They have been done in cross-stitch by a gifted artist on the island. “My father will put this book in his museum,” she says. “He collects children’s books with unusual sketches. The museum is in a large university in Pennsylvania. You will see it on the shelf when you visit.”
An older couple from Northern Ireland purchase a copy of my novel Where White Horses Gallop. Based on the outbreak of the Second World War, it portrays our own Cape Breton Highlanders, with fictional characters, to relate the horrors of man-to-man conflict. The man tells me in a soft Irish brogue that he is quite familiar with wars. “Technology will advance this world, but it can do nothing for human nature,” he says. I look into a pair of old eyes that are fading with grief. His wife asks if I’ve ever been to Ireland. “No,” I reply. “But it’s next to Rome on my wish list.” She taps me gently on the hand and wishes me a safe journey to Ireland. “You’ll love it dear, it’s as green and quiet as a grave these days.”
A middle-aged man stops by and reads passages from my first novel Butterflies Dance in the Dark, set in an Acadian village with three young children being reared by their single mother. The Mother Superior at the school is as tough as a boiled owl. He pauses and puts the book down and walks off without a word. A short time later he is at the table reading from another chapter. Again he slinks away. On his third visit, he nods politely and asks in a quiet voice where had I studied psychology. “On my knees in the confession box, I got my degree in Latin, French and English,” I reply. He is quite interested. He is a psychologist from South Africa who teaches at a university. “You would make an interesting guest in one of my classes.”
It occurs to me that the gas tank in my RAV was blinking on empty when I arrived at the terminal this morning. Thankfully, I’ve earned enough in sales to fill it for the drive home.
I marvel how far my books can travel to destinations that I, myself, may never get to see.

New Music May Keep Lauryn Hill Out Of Prison
During a court hearing on Monday, Hill was given two weeks to pay $504,000 in back taxes. The singer entered a guilty plea last year to failing to pay federal taxes on $1.8 million that she earned between 2005 and 2007.
NJ.com reports that during Monday's court hearing Assistant U.S. Attorney Sandra Moser revealed that singer had signed a new record deal with Sony where she would earn $1 million for recording five new songs. She reportedly would make more for an entire new album.

Nightfall, Abstract Canvas
Let's get started!
Grey Barn Wood
about this piece
Nightfall is my absolute new favorite abstract! I love the deep, velvety navy blue of this canvas. Fun fact: there's a painting of a desert sunset under that deep blue! I just couldn't get it right... but there it is, peeking out from under the darkness. When I see this painting, I think of Summer nights – the dark, clear sky with bits of magic peeking through. Fireflies in the Midwest, sparkling stars, and an echo of laughter and people sitting our by fire pits, kids up past bedtime... perhaps a stray firework or two. I just know you'll love the Nightfall Abstract Canvas much as I do!

New Delhi votes for new politics called Arvind Kejriwal
- CBI sought part RTI exemption, Govt gave it full
- Screen Awards: Milkha, Ram-Leela and Madras Cafe dominate
- DGCA seeks fresh public objections after clearing AirAsia for take-off
- Delhi: 51-year-old Danish national alleges gangrape, 15 detained for questioning
- I wonder if I will be able to ever reunite with my husband, my kids. I miss them: Devyani
For a party seen as an upstart born out of the ashes of Anna Hazare's Jan Lokpal movement, the Aam Aadmi Party of Arvind Kejriwal made a spectacular electoral debut Sunday, winning 28 seats in the Delhi Assembly polls and emerging as the second largest party ahead of the ruling Congress, and barely behind the BJP.
Rivals and analysts were left groping for adjectives to describe the performance of the political novice, but they agreed that the rise of AAP reflected aspirations of urban voters, the strength of an anti-corruption platform and the impact a strong third player could have on elections.
The AAP's stunning debut was capped by Kejriwal's thumping victory against Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit in her New Delhi constituency by a margin of 25,864 votes.
But the results also meant Delhi was headed for a hung assembly with Kejriwal firmly rejecting any alliance with the Congress or BJP.
And with the BJP emerging as the single largest party with 32 seats - four short of a majority - Kejriwal's decision may mean another election in Delhi.
"We will play the role of a constructive opposition and will not seek or give support from any party to form the govt," Kejriwal told reporters in his first comments after results were declared. "This is a historic election result in many respects. This is not a victory of the Aam Aadmi Party, but a victory of the people. Politicians now know that the public will now remove them if they resort to such means."
While the BJP's CM candidate Harsh Vardhan congratulated Kejriwal and the AAP, he said that his party had emerged as the single largest party but did not have the mandate to form the government.
"We respect the people's mandate and we will not indulge in breaking or supporting other parties or candidates to form the government," Vardhan said.

Over the weekend at the Fabulous Fords show at Knott's Berry Farm in California, Saleen unveiled its next hi-po Mustang: the S351. Mustangs Daily was there and photographed the prototype shown above. Unfortunately, information about the Saleen S351 is essentially limited to what you can see. Aside from saying that the blown V8 will make 700 horsepower and that the Orange County Orange paint is a new hue developed for this car, that's it. The prototype is expectedly wearing the full complement of Saleen bodywork and accessories, and an interior photo shows that the prototype sports an automatic transmission. Boo! Hopefully, that's not the sole option. And hopefully, we learn a lot more more about Saleen's new super-Mustang sooner than later. For lots more photos, head over to Mustangs Daily.

Guest opinion: Key reasons you should vote in Naples City Council election
Over the past year, there have been many conversations, new laws, and even arguments about voting in America. Right here in our own backyard, we have an election coming up on Feb. 1, 2022 to select three new Naples City Council members, and here are some key reasons why all eligible citizens should vote!
1. Your vote is your voice!
If you have concerns or issues with how things are affecting you in the City of Naples, one of the best ways to exercise your voice is to participate in selecting representatives whose positions on issues match yours! The City election is non-partisan, so the key is to see how the candidates feel about the various issues that concern you regardless of political parties. What a relief to avoid partisanship for once!
2. Voting is a privilege that not everyone has!
Lots of your Naples friends don’t get a chance to vote in the Naples city elections, even if they own a home or condo in Naples. They may be registered elsewhere, live outside the city limits, not be a US citizen, or have a host of other reasons that they don’t have a say. You can request a mail in ballot up until January 22. And you can vote early on January 26-29, or go to the polls on election day, February 1. For more information about the municipal election, go to https://www.colliervotes.gov/
3. How the City runs affects us every day!
In the recent national election, according to the Collier County Supervisor of Elections, just over 90% of those registered voted, but in the last city election, fewer than one third turned up at the polls. The quality of your day-to-day life depends on decisions made by the City. It is important to stay informed and register your opinions by voting for representatives right here in Naples! Naples is at a crossroads — it is no longer a sleepy village with a local town feel, and it has grown rapidly, especially during the pandemic. We face serious issues like flooding, water quality, climate change, development pressure, rapidly building traffic, just to name a few. We need to carefully select our representatives so we can deal with these local problems!
4. A good city council representative is a valuable resource!
When we have issues, whether it is a pothole in front of our home, flooding, or a parking issue, a good city council member is an excellent resource for us as “Neopolitans”! The members welcome interaction with citizens and will listen and try to help!
5. Five people are working very hard to get the chance to represent you!
Many of us enjoy life in Naples in our retirement, free of the stress of our careers, or other anxiety producing activities. Five dedicated individuals have thrown their hat in the ring for the three available spots on the City Council, and the least we owe them is consideration and making an effort to get to polls (or sending in a mail ballot). Running for office (to date) are: Terry Hutchinson, Ray Christman (both incumbents), and three new candidates: John Dugan, Beth Petrunoff, and Ian Rudnick, and we thank them all for their efforts. Residents should try to attend one of many forums to get to know these candidates better. This is what the candidates have to say about the importance of voting in this election:
"Low turnout for local elections is a concern because this is often where the issues of greatest day-to-day importance to voters are debated and decided."
"Voting demonstrates better informed citizens and promotes accountability of the elected officials to the residents."
"The February election is about the future of the City of Naples."
"I believe it is our civic duty to vote. This right was fought for with the lives of many in this country."
"Democracy does not work the way our forefathers intended if we don't vote. With low voter turnout we do not have a proper representation of the populace, and the voice of the people will not be heard."
So fellow Naples neighbors, let’s break the record in February and have a great turnout to vote! We will all be winners if we do.
- Dates for requesting a mail-in ballot: December 30, 2021-January 22, 2022
- Go to: https://www.colliervotes.gov/
- Early voting days: January 26-29, 2022
- Election day: February 1, 2022

About my work
My work is about landscape. I try to go beyond the immediate sensation to something felt and experienced, seeking to find the spirit and inner reality of place.
To achieve this I walk and draw using sketchbooks and loose pieces of paper to record sensations, colours, structure and form. Many of my locations are very well known to me and have been walked over and drawn many times over a period of years and in differing seasons.
In the studio I use this raw material to create work that is true to the sum of my experience.
I work in a variety of mixed media; oil, acrylic, collage, ink, watercolour and gouache, either on their own or in various combinations on paper and canvas.
There is no set formula for any piece of work, the choice of materials used and the size is driven solely by what is right for a particular piece.
Most of the landscapes I work in are ones where a sense of man's interaction with the environment has left traces, either
directly visible or now obscured and only sensed. Often these are areas where the built and the natural collide.
A good example would be Orford Ness in Suffolk, the former military and nuclear testing site, now owned by the National Trust and given over to managed decline and natural wilderness. As artist in residence I spent two years exploring this complex, multi-layered 'island'; trying to understand through drawing it's visual history and the often conflicted feelings and emotions the buildings, the ruins and the traces left behind aroused in me.
I also work in landscapes that carry the marks of ancient history as well as the ruins and marks of past industries. For many years the north Cornwall coast and the atmospheric moors of West Cornwall have been important.
Locally, I am drawn to the coast where change is constant. Recently I have been concentrating upon the eroding coast of Norfolk where the beaches and cliffs are constantly moving, disappearing and re-appearing.


3-D models and structural analysis of rock avalanches: the study of the deformation process to better understand the propagation mechanism
Abstract. Rock avalanches are extremely destructive and uncontrollable events that involve a great volume of material (> 106 m3) and several complex processes, and they are difficult to witness. For this reason the study of these phenomena using analog modeling and the accurate analysis of deposit structures and features of laboratory data and historic events become of great importance in the understanding of their behavior.
The main objective of this research is to analyze rock avalanche dynamics and deformation process by means of a detailed structural analysis of the deposits coming from data of 3-D measurements of mass movements of different magnitudes, from decimeter level scale laboratory experiments to well-studied rock avalanches of several square kilometers' magnitude.
Laboratory experiments were performed on a tilting plane on which a certain amount of a well-defined granular material is released, propagates and finally stops on a horizontal surface. The 3-D geometrical model of the deposit is then obtained using either a scan made with a 3-D digitizer (Konica Minolta VIVID 9i) or a photogrammetric method called structure from motion (SfM), which requires taking several pictures from different point of view of the object to be modeled.
In order to emphasize and better detect the fault structures present in the deposits, we applied a median filter with different moving window sizes (from 3 × 3 to 9 × 9 nearest neighbors) to the 3-D datasets and a gradient operator along the direction of propagation.
The application of these filters on the datasets results in (1) a precise mapping of the longitudinal and transversal displacement features observed at the surface of the deposits and (2) a more accurate interpretation of the relative movements along the deposit (i.e., normal, strike-slip, inverse faults) by using cross sections. Results show how the use of filtering techniques reveals disguised features in the original point cloud and that similar displacement patterns are observable both in the laboratory simulation and in the real-scale avalanche, regardless the size of the avalanche. Furthermore, we observed how different structural features, including transversal fractures and folding patterns, tend to show a constant wavelength proportional to the size of the avalanche event.

PLAYERS and staff were dragged apart in a brawl at the end of Cardiff’s 2-1 victory at Preston.
The aggro kicked off after Karlan Grant and Ike Ugbo both scored for the Welsh side during TEN MINUTES of added time.

Deepdale stewards stepped in while others tried to restore order.
Feelings had run high all through the Championship clash as Preston’s Robbie Brady was sent off and Cardiff’s Jamelu Collins clashed with Ched Evans.
Referee Bobby Madley took a close look at the ruck and will consider all the evidence before submitting his report.
Both clubs could be fined for failing to control their players rather than seeing individuals punished.
Grant and Ugbo were Cardiff’s late heroes — but Preston bad boy Brady went down as the villain.
Brady was booked for dissent then body-checked Yakou Meite to be sent off with 52 minutes gone – just after Milutin Osmajic had burst clear to fire North End in front.
Preston clung on until Grant squeezed in Cardiff’s equaliser from a 96th-minute corner.
And Ugbo was left unmarked to head the winner three minutes later.

“We controlled the game from the first minute until the end. We didn’t allow them many chances.”
Preston chief Ryan Lowe said: “I’m gutted but I’m not angry about the sending off. If you take someone down when you’re on a yellow card you have to go.
“We left everything out there. If we carried on with 11 we win the game but we switched off and they got their goals.”

Evaluation of mineral status in feed resources and effects of supplementation to farm animals in northern Ghana
AbstractA survey was conducted on the mineral concentration of available feed resources at three locations in the northern Guinea Savannah Zone between 1992 and 1997. The feeds were categorized into cereal crop residues, legume crop residues, grass forages, legume forages, and legume browse and agro-industrial by-products. Experiments
carried out involved balanced groups (age, sex and breed) of sheep using some of such forages and with or without access to commercial mineral licks. The animals were monitored for any changes in their live weight
performance. Dry matter (DM) intake by sheep of supplementary fed rice straw was also determined. Average concentration of calcium (Ca) in the feed samples surveyed was highest in the browse forages (1.21%) and
legume forages (1.13%). The lowest was recorded for the agroindustrial
by-product (0.20%). However, phosphorus (P) was highest (1.6%) in the browse forages compared to that recorded in the cereal crop residues
(0.06%). Copper (Cu) levels of 2.57, 7.1, and 7.6 mg kg-1 DM were observed for cereal forages, legume crop residues, legume forages and browse forages, respectively. The cereal crop residues contained 40.7 mg kg-1 of zinc (Zn) compared to 24.33 mg kg-1 in the browse forages.
Manganese (Mn) concentration was 97.5, 143.3, 163.7, 231.4, 271.2, and 314.4 mg kg-1 DM for agro-industrial by-products, browse forages, grass forages, legume crop residues, forage legumes, and cereal crop residues in that order. Sheep exposed to commercial mineral lick consumed 4.7-8.0 g head-1 day-1. However, total supplementary rice straw intake was 7.0 per cent lower in animals on mineral lick. Sheep in the study generally
consumed 13.5 per cent more of straw in the dry season (November-February) compared to the wet season (July -October). Sheep on natural grazing in the dry season and supplemented with rice straw with or without mineral lick gained 65.5 and 63.7 g head-1 day-1, respectively. A
significantly (P< 0.001) lower daily gain of 26.7 g head-1 was recorded for sheep grazing natural pasture without any form of supplementation.

Violent clashes between iPhone workers and riot police in China
Violent clashes between iPhone workers and police have been seen in video footage from Foxconn’s primary iPhone assembly plant in Zhengzhou, China. You can see the video clips below.
Workers say that promised bonuses (referred to in local reports as “subsidies”) have not been paid; that there is inadequate food and medical supplies for workers locked into the facility; and that the company is failing to properly separate infected and uninfected employees…
The trouble began when there was a COVID-19 outbreak inside Foxconn’s biggest iPhone assembly plant in Zhengzhou – also known locally as iPhone City.
At the time, the company claimed that the situation was under control, although this meant already-tough closed-loop production rules were made even tighter. This included closing canteens, and very tight control of where workers were allowed to go within the facility.
It wasn’t long before workers complained that infections were continuing to spread within the plant, and that there wasn’t enough food and medication. Significant numbers chose to break out of the plant, and return to their home towns.
Foxconn initially offered bonuses to persuade workers to stay, and then increased them up to ten-fold when this didn’t work. Infections continued to spread, and the plant was placed on an even more stringent lockdown.
Apple took the rare step of warning that iPhone 14 Pro availability would be limited as a result of the disruption, with Foxconn also warning that revenue growth would be reversed.
Video footage (below) shows clashes between Foxconn workers and people in white suits. While some reports say the white-suited figures are Foxconn security, the majority describe them as police officers. It is known that both riot police and armed police were sent to the scene.
In one clip, these figures can be seen kicking and stomping on someone laying on the ground. In another, a police car is surrounded by protesters. One clip shows injured people in an ambulance. Other footage shows a lot of pushing and jostling between workers and police, as well as the use of batons.
Some workers are also seen with sticks, smashing windows and security cameras. BBC News reports that a “heavy police deployment” included large numbers of armed officers.
Bloomberg reports that employees expected to continue to work on the production lines have no faith in their negative test results.
In one video, irate workers surrounded by a silent, downcast manager in a conference room to voice grievances and question their Covid test results. It was not clear when the meeting took place.
“I’m really scared about this place, we could all be Covid positive now,” a male worker said. “You are sending us to death,” another person said.
Foxconn said that it was working with staff and local government officials to prevent further violence, and denied reports of unpaid bonuses, saying that it would fulfill all its financial obligations to workers. It also denied claims by new recruits that they were being housed in dormitories with existing workers who had tested positive for COVID-19.
In such chaotic conditions, it can often prove extremely difficult to determine the realities of conflicting claims. Whatever the truth, however, it’s clear that many workers have no faith in Foxconn’s handling of the outbreak. We would hope that Apple has sent a team to the plant to investigate the events, and ensure that proper worker protections are put in place.
Resolving this situation is made much harder by China’s official response to the pandemic. The country has insisted on using its own vaccines, which are far less effective than those available in most countries, and on a “COVID Zero” policy in which even tiny infection rates result in citywide lockdowns. However carefully managed, closed-loop production – where workers remain in the facility 24/7 for up to a month at a time – will always be tough.
With similar violent clashes at other factories and in other cities, it’s clear that the patience of the population is at breaking point, and that sooner or later the Chinese government is going to have to rethink its COVID-19 response.

Source Control HELP
The Source Control feature of Valentina Studio Pro provides an ability of database development using any VCS. Using Source control you can easily:
- Commit the initial schema version - make snapshot of the current database schema.
- Evaluate and Commit changes in the database schema.
- Migrate to the particular schema version.
To start using Source Control you should select the target database in the Schema Editor, and go to the Main Menu → Tools → Source Control.
- Path – the path to the Source Control folder. The place where all scripts and support files will be placed.
- Content Type – the approach (tool) that will be used for making schema snapshots.
- Register/Unregister Database – the button to bind the Source Control to the particular database.
Dependently on content of Source Control Folder there are two possible workflows:
- Commit Initial Version – if folder is empty you should to create initial commit with the current schema version of the database.
- Migrate to Version – if the selected folder already contains Source Control files you should migrate the database schema to the current state in the Source Control Folder.
Commit Schema Version
One of the goal of Source Control is to track schema changes. You can do this by Commit changes in the schema to the appropriate snapshots (SQLDump or Script Folder):
- Current Schema State – the snapshot of the current database schema version.
- Previous Schema State – the snapshot of the previous schema version.
- Migration Script – the script to migrate the previous schema state to the current.
- Rollback Script – the script to rollback migration changes.
All of this items can be obtained and managed by the Source Control.
Committing the schema version is sophisticated process that can include many steps. Commit can be performed only when all steps are ready. If the step is not ready you should perform additional operations to prepare the particular step. Each step contains description that will help you to perform preparation actions. When the scenario will be applied all steps will be marked as finished.
When the database just registered in the Source Control you should create the Initial Commit. This step will create snapshot of the current database schema and Source Control files.
- Path to Sources – the path to the Source Control Folder on the local disk.
- Schema Version – the local version of database schema.
- Sources Version – the current version of schema in the Source Control Folder.
- Commit Scenario – describes steps that will be performed to create initial version.
- Commit – execute the commit scenario create scema version
Increase Schema Version
When database was changed you can create a new schema version in the Source Control. Firstly to determine schema changes you should to compare the current schema with initial. To perform this task you need to select database with source schema version:
- SQLDiff Panel – on this panel you should select source database. You can use Connect To button to open remote connection or local database.
- Run SQLDiff – performs comparison.
- Commit Scenario – shows the stage of commit scenario. Currently the scenario can't be performed because synchronization and rollback scripts are not ready. To prepare these scripts need to run SQLDiff - it will determine difference between database schemas and create scripts.
- Commit – creates schema version in the Source Control.
When SQLDiff compared databases you can see the list of differences in schemas. Now you can see that all steps in the commit scenario is ready to run.
When commit scenario is performed - you can see that all steps are marked as finished. Now the Source Control Folder will be looked like this:
- current_sql_dump.sql – SQL Dump of the current schema version.
- previous_sql_dump.sql – SQL Dump of the previous schema version.
- current_script_folder – Script Folder of the current schema version.
- previous_script_folder – Script Folder of the previous schema version.
- rollback.sql – the script to migrate from previous schema version to current.
- synchronization.sql* – the script to rollback the current migration.
- vs_source_control – internal data for the Source Control
Migrate Schema Version
Automation of migration schema version is another function of Source Control. There are two ways to perform migration to a particular version:
- Create the schema according to the current version in the source control. This step should be performed when the current database is empty.
- Migrate to the new version. This step should be performed when the current Schema Version is lesser than schema version in the Source Control Folder.
If you want to create database with particular schema version you should to create a new database in the Schema Editor and register one in the Source Control with existing Source Control Folder.
- Migration Script – shows the script for changing the schema. For the initial migration is a SQLDump for the current schema sate.
- Migrate – applies the migration script.
- Migration Script – shows the script for changing the schema. This is a synchronization script generated by the SQLDiff.
- Migrate – applies the migration script.

Kashmir saved of mourning – just think over
JK NEWS TODAY
It is a mourning period in some of the political class over the loss of Article 370 as the days are advancing toward the first anniversary of August 5 , when state of Jammu and Kashmir was told that a temporary provision in the constitution of India has outlived its utility beyond prescribed temporary life. These circles are bemoaning that this had acquired a permanence of its own , hence scrapping of this Article was buried unnaturally . Neither they look at the majority with which its abrogation was approved on August 5-6 last year, nor they see that how this had become an albatross around the neck of the people of the state, now living in the two Union Territories of J&K and Ladakh.
This is a political mourning for political reasons , but the fact is that the real deaths , funerals and mourning thereof have come down. Kashmir is not ruing the loss of the Article 370 that granted special status to the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir and an imagined sense of entitlement . Doomsayers had said that once the special status provisions are scrapped, there would be a bloodbath in the Valley.
Is bloodbath an answer to the problems ? Kashmiris have understood, it is not . Instead they want a dignified life in a secure environment . Yes, there was a lockdown imposed in the whole of J&K barring Leh district pf Ladakh . Forces were deployed and the communication clampdown was nearly complete in the Valley . It was for their safety .
Time has proven that “ zero casualty “ was not a phrase , but a reality that was ensured by all this. Now, even Kashmiris realise that they have been saved from a catastrophe. There are instigators from Pakistan , who use the cyber world and social media to instigate the young men in the name of religion , identity politics to summon them to streets.
During the past one year since August 5, the number of civilian casualties is not in two digits. Terrorists have died in encounters . Those who pick up the guns decide on their future themselves , and not that they were not urged to stop tread the path of the self-destruction, but they were reluctant to listen to the sane advice. The encounters and the deaths thereof cannot be related to Article 370’s dilution , but to the instigation that is being made from across and Pakistan’s proxies . Indeed, this calls for a new approach to promote the family values so that the youth don’t run out of control, but that is for the people themselves to appreciate.
Civil society , religious leaders and others are making appeals to people to wear masks to save themselves from Covid-19 . These are quite sensible moves . The same civil society should also tell them if the lockdown caused by pandemic is good for them, should also explain that the lockdown since August 5 was good for them. Kashmir was saved of mourning . Is that a small thing?

In this book, photographed at the Wolong Nature Reserve in China, sixteen baby pandas are shown playing, eating, napping, and being cuddled by their panda mothers and their human caretakers. Even though a panda can be seen in some zoos, all pandas belong to China and are on loan to the zoos. This is a delightful book of photographs and tells a perfectly wonderful story of the life of young pandas. My favorite photo was of the sixteen pandas napping.

Why is preheat used when arc welding steel, and how is it pre embedded plate Strip surfacing welding
Preheating is the process applied to raise the temperature of the parent steel before welding. It is used for the following main reasons: The slower cooling rate encourages hydrogen diffusion from the weld area by extending the time period over which it is at elevated temperature (particularly the time at temperatures above approximately 100°C) at which temperatures hydrogen diffusion rates are Why is a welding machine important in Strip Processing?The welding machine is not only a crucial technological piece of equipment in every strip processing line, but also an entry cycle time factor and one key component for utilized and maximized production.See all results for this questionWhen to use a backing strip on a weld?It helps to ensure that 100% of the base metals thickness is fused by the weld (full penetration).

Montana Medicaid Providers, Recipients Anxiously Await Budget Restoration Details
Many of Montana’s poorest and most vulnerable people — and the health care providers who serve them — are anxiously awaiting news from Governor Steve Bullock this week. Bullock is expected to release his plan to restore some funding to health programs for the state’s poor and disabled that have been devastated by budget cuts over the last year.
MTPR Capitol Reporter Corin Cates-Carney is here now to talk about the upcoming announcement.Eric Whitney: The Bullock administration is saying that it’s “restoring” cuts to Medicaid — but it’s not a 100 percent restoration, right? Not every program that was cut will be brought back to the same funding level it was at before the cuts? Or is all the money that was cut being backfilled?
CCC: No, not all the money that was cut will be backfilled. The special session resulted in $49 million being cut from the state health department, and last month, the governor said there’s now enough in state coffers to restore about $30 million of that. When the Bullock administration made that announcement, it held a big hearing to get public input on what the top priorities should be.
EW: And so this week all the people who rely on those health programs, and the state contractors who provide a lot of them, they’ve been anxiously awaiting the announcement of what exactly will be restored, and which $19 million worth of programs and services will remain cut.
CCC: Right. And on Tuesday the Bullock administration released a plan for some restorations, saying that it was rolling back a Medicaid pay cut. That was one of the more controversial cuts in the package of spending reductions to balance the state budget. It basically told all the doctors, clinics, hospitals and other health care providers who serve Medicaid clients that the state was going to reduce how much it paid them by about 3 percent. Many of those providers have said for years that Medicaid already doesn’t cover what it costs them to provide care, or is break-even at best. And that pay cut is what caused lots of the non-profits that serve Medicaid clients to lay off staff or just plain shut down.
EW: How many agencies closed, or jobs were lost?
CCC: According to one count by the Behavioral Health Alliance of Montana, 10 offices closed across the state. All of those were in rural towns. And just over 100 jobs were lost.
EW: So, the Bullock administration says it will restore the pay for Medicaid service providers. What else do we know about which health care services will be restored?
CCC: The governor has said the state will put money back into a dental services for the poor beyond just basic exams and fillings — things like crowns and dentures. There was a lot of public backlash when those were cut because bad oral health can lead to a lot of other health problems down the line if it doesn’t get fixed.
EW: When the budget cuts were announced, we did a lot of reporting about impacts to people who need mental health care, or who have developmental disabilities and need help getting by day to day - any news there?
CCC: It appears that the governor is considering putting money back into those programs, but we don’t have details yet. And people who work in that system say it was already very fragile even before the budget cuts - that there already wasn’t enough money, or money was tight to help provide housing for young at-risk moms, or drug treatment, mental health services, and programs that help people with disabilities live independently. Providers say those programs actually save taxpayers money by keeping people in their homes and out of more expensive institutions.
EW: In public meetings before and after the cuts, dozens of people told some pretty compelling stories about what these social services meant to them, right?
CCC: Yeah, that's right. There were a few stories like the one that the mother of a 20-year-old nonverbal man with severe autism told in a letter to state lawmakers earlier this month. She said that people who help look after her son, their workload doubled because of these budget cuts. And that made it harder for them to help people like her son.
There’s a group of about 30 mental health care providers called the Behavioral Health Alliance of Montana that’s calling for the creation of a state task force to design a new system that can help people with disabilities and behavioral health issues, something they say was needed even before the budget cuts.
EW: Do you know if the governor and health department are open to that idea?
CCC: It’s not clear if they’ll take up that exact recommendation. But the governor has directed state officials to improve Montana’s mental health system.
EW: But to do it with $19 million less than was originally budgeted last cycle, because, as we said, this budget restoration isn’t a full restoration.
CCC: Montana already had a serious shortage of mental health services, and the nation’s highest suicide rate, and even with this restorations, the mental health system here is still going to have a lot less money going forward than professionals in the field say the state needs. Although some providers say that changing the model of care here is just as important as having adequate funding.
EW: If these programs are so important, why were they cut in the first place?
CCC: We’ve done quite a bit of reporting on the $227 million dollar budget shortfall that the governor’s office projected last year. With that projection came the need to make cuts in order to balance the state budget. Bullock and the Republican-led Legislature couldn't come up with a way to avoid cutting state spending. There’s were a lot of political back and forth that we don't really have time to get into. But, big picture, because public health is far and away the biggest state dollar expense, that’s where a lot of the cuts came from. And that’s where most of the budget restorations will go now that state revenues are up.
EW: So, still unclear what exactly is going to be restored to programs run by the state health department - when do you expect to hear details?
CCC: The governor’s budget director is meeting with reporters Thursday afternoon. It’s not clear if we’ll get all the details, but I’ll be there asking questions.

(Pocket-lint) – OnePlus may have only recently announced the OnePlus 8T and cheaper and more affordable OnePlus Nord series, but that’s not stopped the rumours starting for the next device from Chinese company.
With the OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro – and possibly the OnePlus 9E – expected to arrive in the first half of 2021, here is everything we have heard so far about the next OnePlus flagships.
Release date and price
- Early 2021
- Around £600/$750
OnePlus revealed the OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro on 14 April 2020, while the OnePlus 7 and 7 Pro were unveiled on 14 May 2019. It’s likely the OnePlus 9 – and 9 Pro if there is one – will be revealed in the first half of 2021. At the moment, there is no specific event date rumoured though mid-March has been suggested, which would be earlier than expected.
In terms of price, we’d expect a similar ballpark to the OnePlus 8T if there is no 9 Pro. The OnePlus 8T starts at £549 in the UK and $749 in the US. The OnePlus 8 meanwhile, started at $699 in the US and £599 in the UK when it launched, while the 8 Pro started at $899 in the US and £799 in the UK. If there is a 9 Pro, we’d expect similar prices to the 8 and 8 Pro.
- Flat display
- Triple camera for OnePlus 9
- IP68 for 9 Pro
Rumours suggest that there will be some relatively significant changes to the design in the OnePlus 9, compared to the OnePlus 8. Specifically, the phone is said to be adopting a flat screen on the front, like the OnePlus 8T. A punch hole front camera is reported for the front and it looks like that’s going to be to the left of the display, again, like the OnePlus 8T.
The camera housing for the OnePlus 9 is rumoured to be in the top left corner like the OnePlus Nord, and large and rectangular like the OnePlus 8T – again, this has been shown in recent leaks. It’s claimed two of the three lenses for the OnePlus 9 will be larger – which leaked schematics support – making for a slightly different look to what we’ve seen before from OnePlus.
The OnePlus 9 Pro has also leaked, though the renders are said to be of a prototype so may change. It too has a rectangular camera housing on the rear – which is said to be glass – and it is said to have a curved display with a punch hole camera in the top left.
There has also been talk of an IP68 water and dust resistance rating, but it’s said this will be reserved for the OnePlus 9 Pro.
Some have said the OnePlus 9 will come with a larger display than 8T, although recent leaks have pointed to a 6.55-inch AMOLED display. A 120Hz refresh rate has been claimed, which is the same as the OnePlus 8T and 8 Pro and something that OnePlus is keen on for flagship devices.
It’s likely the OnePlus 9 will have a Full HD+ resolution, making it the same as the OnePlus 8. If there is a 9 Pro, we expect to see a Quad HD+ resolution on this device. It’s claimed the OnePlus 9 Pro has a 6.7-inch display.
Given the 8T has a peak brightness of 1,100nits and support for HDR10+ content, we expect the 9 and 9 Pro to offer these attributes too.
Hardware and specs
- Qualcomm Snapdragon 888
- 8GB/12GB RAM options likely
- 128GB or 256GB storage variants
- 65W fast charging
OnePlus and Qualcomm have a long-standing relationship so it’s likely the OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro will feature the latest Qualcomm processor under its hood, which is the Snapdragon 888.
The OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro will be 5G and rumours suggest they will have 65W fast charging on board, like the OnePlus 8T. There has also been talk of 45W, 40W and 30W wireless charging but it is not yet clear if this will be reserved for the 9 Pro. The battery is expected to be 4500mAh in the OnePlus 9.
We’d expect two storage variants: 128GB and 256GB, with the former sporting 8GB RAM and the latter featuring 12GB, though only the 8GB RAM model has appeared in benchmark rumours so far.
The OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro will likely launch with OxygenOS 11 out of the box, meaning they will come with Android 11.
- Triple rear for OnePlus 9
- Punch hole front
- Quad rear for OnePlus 9 Pro
The OnePlus 8 has a triple rear camera made up of a 48-megapixel main, 16-megapixel 116-degree ultra-wide sensor and a 2-megapixel macro sensor. The OnePlus 8 Pro has a quad camera, consisting of a 48-megapixel main, 48-megapixel ultra-wide, 8-megapixel telephoto and 5-megapixel photochromatic sensor.
Rumours suggest the OnePlus 9 will have a triple rear camera with two lenses larger than the third, but no details have been leaked as to what the make up of the camera system will be. We still expect to see a 48-megapixel main camera, but it’s not clear what the supporting cameras will offer.
If there is a 9 Pro, we expect this device to have a slightly different camera setup to the standard model. Reports suggest it will have a quad camera, which is seen in leaked renders.
A punch hole front camera is expected for both devices, and based on the prototype handset that leaked, we think it will be to the left.

Rattus norvegicus, best known to New Yorkers as the Norway, sewer or subway rat, are a common feature of cities around the world, but unlike black rats and house mice, they only migrated fairly recently from their native Northern China and Mongolia to the rest of the world.
In a study published on Oct. 19 in the Royal Society’s flagship journal Proceedings B, scientists from Fordham reveal the complex routes that Rattus norvegicus has taken over the last several centuries, and where different lineages have settled and occasionally mixed with each other.
Global population divergence and admixture of the brown rat (Rattus norvegicus) was authored by Emily Puckett, Ph.D., postdoctoral associate at Fordham’s Louis Calder Biological Field Station, along with 17 co-authors. The study is the first large-scale genomic analysis of brown rats around the world, using 314 specimens from 76 locations that were submitted over the last three years to the lab of co-author Jason Munshi-South, Ph.D., associate professor of biology.
Understanding the evolution and ecology of Rattus norvegicus is important because they cause billions of dollars in damage annually around the world, and significantly degrade the quality of life and health of city dwellers.
The Fordham study determined that 13 evolutionary clusters have followed five routes out of China and Mongolia. The first expansion traveled southward into Southeast Asia, and then moved east, toward the Pacific coast of Asia.
Over time, two groups headed west to North America—one via Alaska’s Aleutian Islands, and another towards the Pacific Coast of North America. Meanwhile, another group ventured west, making it through Western Asia and the Middle East, and into Europe, where they split into two subgroups in Western Europe and Northern Europe.
Brown rats were then able to colonize eastern North America, South America, Africa, and New Zealand via ships originating from European colonial powers.
For Americans, Puckett said this study in phylogeography is useful because it illustrates how Rattus norvegicus arrived on the continent via different routes, and with different genetic makeups. Further study will examine how individual populations vary genetically, with the aim of determining the best way to control diseases that rats spread.
For instance, the study found that in New York City, the rats that arrived from Western Europe, most likely on British ships, have to this day remained the only brown rat lineage to establish itself. In contrast, some rat populations on the west coast exhibit evidence of colonization from both Europe or eastern North America, and Asia.
Even for rats, New York City is a tough place to make it as an outsider.
