Book Excerpt on:Diet
A good diet is essential to your senior’s wellness. Older dogs who are less active need fewer calories; however, because they don’t absorb nutrients as well as younger dogs do, the foods they do eat need to be extremely nourishing and of high quality. The golden years are no time to fill up on junk food. Your job is to supply a healthy diet with top-notch ingredients that give your dog’s body what it needs.
Some older dogs become progressively more picky as they age, possibly because their senses of smell and taste are failing; others seem to want to eat anything. Both of these conditions could be normal, but both also could be a sign of a disease condition. If your dog’s eating habits change, talk to your veterinarian.
Obesity is a major problem in dogs but is also completely preventable. Keep close tabs on your dog’s weight, and not only because a trim dog is a healthy dog. Unexplained weight gain or weight loss may be the first sign of disease.
If you need to change your dog’s diet, do so gradually, because the digestive systems of older dogs respond poorly to sudden changes. Increase the amount of new food gradually over a period of about a week or so.

According to the information provided on the Powerball website, the overall odds of winning a prize are one in 24.9, and the winning odds remain the same for each and every Powerball drawing. According to the information provided on the website, “even if there are more tickets sold in a specific drawing, your odds of winning a reward are the same.”
The amount of the jackpot and the various payment options
Winners of the jackpot can choose to have their prize paid out as a lump sum of cash (in two payments; the first will come from the winning jurisdiction, and the second will be the combined funds from the other members), or as a graded annuity paid out over the course of 30 years. The amount of the jackpot that is deducted as the first payment from an annuity is about 1.505% of the total sum. To account for the effects of inflation, each annuity payment is increased by 5% compared to the amount received the year before.
The estimated amount of the jackpot that is publicised reflects the sum of all payments that would be made to the winner(s) of the jackpot if they choose the annuity payout option. This estimate was calculated using the money that had been rolled over from previous drawings into the jackpot pool, the sales that were anticipated for the next drawing, and the interest rates that are currently available on the market for the assets that would be used to fund the annuity. The anticipated jackpot is typically equal to 32.5% of the income generated by each base play ($1) that does not involve a Power Play. This revenue is contributed by game participants to accumulate into a prize pool in order to fund the jackpot. If a given drawing does not produce a jackpot winner, the prize pool will be carried over to the following drawing, where it will continue to grow until there is a winner of the jackpot. This prize pool consists of the money that is given to a jackpot winner if they select cash as their payout option. If the winner choose the annuity as their prize, the current market rates are utilised to determine the graded payment schedule, and the recipient will receive payment for the initial instalment. The remaining money in the prize pool are invested to create the revenue necessary to cover the remaining instalments. This ensures that all of the prizes may be awarded. In the event that there are multiple jackpot winners for a given drawing, the jackpot prize pool will be split among the winners in an equitable manner.
MUSL and its members are contractually required and liable to the winner to fulfil all scheduled payments to annuity winners. In addition, MUSL and its members bear all investment risks associated with the annuity. In the event that a jackpot ticket is not presented for redemption, the monies from the prize pool are redistributed among the participants in accordance with the amount of money each participant contributed to the reward pool. The members have distinct policies that regulate how the funds that are unclaimed are used.
The next Powerball jackpot is a guaranteed $20 million regardless of whether or not the current jackpot is won (annuity). In the event that a jackpot is not claimed, the minimum rollover amount is ten million dollars. The amount of money that is included in the jackpot pot is certain to correspond to the annuity’s current value. In the event that revenue from ticket sales is lower than anticipated, game participants will be required to contribute additional funds to the jackpot pool in order to cover the shortfall. The situation in which this is most likely to occur is when the jackpot is won in a series of consecutive drawings.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States and the subsequent drop in ticket sales, as well as the falling interest rates on which annuity prizes were based, the administrators of Powerball reduced the minimum starting jackpot to $20 million, and the reduced the minimum increase when the previous jackpot was not won to $2 million.
Regardless of where the winner really resides, the winning ticket must be claimed in the same state or territory where it was first purchased. The age requirement to purchase a Powerball ticket is 18, with the exception of the states of Nebraska, Arizona, Iowa, Louisiana, and Mississippi.
Unless they win the jackpot, Powerball players often are not required to choose between cash and annuity payouts (then they usually have 60 days to choose). The states of Florida and Missouri are the only exceptions; because the “clock” on the 60-day period begins with the drawing, a jackpot winner who chooses the cash option must immediately begin making preparations to collect their prize money. Both New Jersey and Texas require players to select whether they would want to receive their winnings in cash or as an annuity. However, while a winning annuity ticket in New Jersey can be converted to cash after the fact, this option cannot be changed in Texas. (When the cash option was first made available to Powerball players in 1997, each and every one of them was required to make a decision when playing. By 1999, this regulation had been completely done away with. Depending on the location where the ticket was purchased, there is a time limit of anywhere from three months to one year during which all Powerball rewards need to be claimed.
Winnings from the Powerball lottery in California are only subject to the federal income tax. On the other hand, winners from the Powerball lottery in Puerto Rico are only subject to local taxes and not federal income tax. There is no state income tax in the states of Florida, South Dakota, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming. The states of New Hampshire and Tennessee impose taxes, but solely on interest and dividends. If the winning ticket was purchased in the winner’s home state, then the winnings are liable to both federal income tax and the income tax of the state in which the winner resides. This is the case in all other states. The states in question determine whether or not a person’s winnings from lottery tickets purchased in another state are subject to the income tax laws of both states (with possible credits based on the two jurisdictions), however, this is not always the case.

The Lenoir City School Safety Task Force met Thursday afternoon to discuss, in part, ways to encourage the public to support a sales tax increase that will generate nearly $2 million annually for school safety initiatives.
Tony Aikens, Lenoir City mayor, opened the meeting by discussing a memorandum of understanding recently approved by Lenoir City Council that details how the money brought in would be used.
“Hopefully, that will put some of the critics, ease some of their thoughts or concerns that somehow or another the city is going to take all this big pile of money and use it for whatever,” Aikens said. “We felt like we would bring the task force back together and get your all’s thoughts. I know Dr. (Jeanne) Barker (director of schools) has come up with some ideas on how to get the word out to help parents ... come out and support the sales tax referendum.”
Barker called the referendum, which would raise the local sales tax rate by a half cent, a “win-win for the community.”
“We came up with a good list, I think, of some prioritized items that we would like to see happen,” Barker said. “So we’ve been working hard since the last meeting to give it legs to make those kinds of things happen. The only thing standing in the way, of course, as always, is funding.”
Barker did not provide a list of items during the task force meeting. A list previously provided the News-Herald detailed $1.4-$1.6 million in expenses, but only $845,000 in annual recurring costs.
“We don’t really know if it’s going to pass yet or not, so that’s always been a concern to come up with this huge list of things that we want to do not knowing,” Barker said. “People might expect that those things be done and then it not pass. Then where are we?”
Aikens expressed a need to educate the general public about the referendum because of criticism received.
“We all knew there would be out of a select few,” Aikens said. “So it’s our job to educate the public and let them know what we’re going to do and why.”
Lenoir City Schools created a flier that provides some information about the proposed tax increase.
“It tries to answer some of the critical questions that we’re hearing from the community so they can have information as they go to the polls and they decide what is important to them,” Barker said. “So we’re putting that out. We’ve given it out at some of the football games. We’ll probably be sharing that directly to voters as well. ... Some of our students and parents, I think, will be helping us do that.”
Barker has asked residents to pass out the fliers in city neighborhoods.
“I think there’s a lot of good things we can do if it passes,” Barker said. “We’re still going to do our very best if it doesn’t. With it passing, it gives us the ability to do some of these things we’ve talked about, these creative things and state-of-the-art type of things to keep our kids safe.”
Much of the conversation Thursday focused on ideas previously discussed, including building a fence around the school, which is included in the original $1.4-$1.6 million in expenses provided by Barker.
Aikens brought up looking into new video security, which Barker previously provided a cost estimate for, in addition to upgrading doors to electronic security entry.
Craig Price, a teacher at Lenoir City High School, raised the question of using some of the funding to provide special education students who need extra support with transportation and enrollment for a specialized program, something Price said was previously done but cut due to funding.
“We used to send kids to Kingston Academy and they would come and pick them up in the morning and bring them back in the afternoon,” Price said. “... We’re not able to do that anymore and the No. 1 reason we’re not able to do that is because of money.”
Barker believes that need could be met in other ways and agreed to look into the possibility.
The referendum will be up for vote Nov. 6. Early voting is Oct. 17-Nov. 1.

Surprisingly, the best first step in home buying is to talk to lenders about whether you qualify for a home loan and for how much. It may be very disappointing to find the home of your dreams and then learn that your credit history or employment situation prevents you from getting the funding you need.
This can be a very intimidating process but your REALTOR® can help by introducing you to qualified lenders who can work with you to find the right product.
You will find that a strong employment history and an established credit history will both work in your favor. If you do not already have a credit record, you should begin establishing one as soon as possible. If you don’t know how – ask. Most mortgage brokers can explain what steps to take in creating or improving your credit. Even if your credit isn’t perfect, it can be improved. It takes at least 6 to 12 months to create a basic credit profile or to improve a damaged one, so the sooner you start, the better.
When applying for a loan, you will be asked to fill out forms along with providing some personal information including recent pay-stubs, bank statements and your previous tax return.
There are a wide variety loans to choose from including, fixed rate, interest only and adjustable rate loans. Not every loan will be right for you. Once again, your REALTOR® and lender can help you decide which type of loan fits you.
The most popular loans are fixed rate which locks in your interest rate and your monthly payment for the length of the loan – typically 15 or 30 years.
An interest only loan, which was once popular in the 1930s, is making a comeback today. It requires that you pay the interest only on the mortgage. This loan does not allow you to accumulate equity in the property as you are not paying down the balance. Attractive for the low rates and payments, for many people this loan would be considered high risk.
With an adjustable loan the interest rate and monthly payments remain the same until the loan “adjusts” its rate. The interest rate typically increases yearly or after several years, depending on the loan. There may be a maximum amount that the interest rate can fluctuate.
The best advice about loans might be this: no loan type is right for everyone, so get some good help and education from both a REALTOR® and a loan professional you trust.

FAISALABAD: The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) on Thursday raided two schools in Faisalabad and confiscated all records.
The raids were reportedly conducted at three branches of two private schools that were charging high fees from students. This development comes after the Supreme Court (SC) of Pakistan on Thursday ordered FIA to seize the accounts of all such upscale private schools.
In the raid, reportedly carried out on the orders of the chief justice, the paper records were seized and computers were also checked for electronic records. The schools’ administration has also been asked to hand over more data.

What’s up fight fans? What a week!
I’ve never been so busy or felt so alive. It took me more than 2 days to recover following a whirlwind week in Vegas during which I covered more events, watched more fights and put more miles on my 44 year-old legs than I had in the last year. Thank GOD for the monorail!
I also saw the sun come up three times, ate at a few of the best restaurants, partied at some of the most amazing clubs, bars and casinos in the world and did it all with the girl of my dreams, who is also my business partner.
We met and got to know some of the most interesting and fun people we’ve ever known, who came in from all over the world for fight week. We interviewed and talked with the biggest names and covered the best stories in the sport. We had a cage side seat for the best MMA action we could ever ask for. And we did it all in VEGAS!
Here’s a quick recap:
I spent five full days shooting video for UMMAF (The US Amateur MMA and Kick Boxing Federation) of Team USA at the IMMAF World Championships- from headquarters at the Westgate Resort to the UFC Fan Expo inside Las Vegas Convention Center and everything in between. We’re putting together a TV pilot documenting the fighters’ experience at this world-class event- both in and out of the cage- as they take on the best fighters from 53 other countries (and growing) from all over the globe.
I spent the whole week running all over the strip covering weigh-ins, press conferences and open workouts for the THREE consecutive UFC fight nights and the UFC Fan Expo.
I went to two different studios to record for the radio show- Thursday I went to in NW Vegas to interview AZ’s own 2x former UFC Heavyweight Champ Cain Velasquez and Saturday The Drive’s Mike “Jack” Bauer and I went and did our shows at iHeart Radio’s Vegas Headquarters.
And of course I had a cage side seat for all the action at all three UFC events- UFC 200, Fight Night: Dos Anjos vs Alvarez and the TUF 23 Finale. Thursday and Friday night at historic MGM Grand Garden Arena, where I’ve watched more big boxing and UFC events than I can remember. Saturday at the brand-new, awe-inspiring T Mobile Arena, where I hope to cover many, many more.
I won’t get too much into what happened when the work was done, but let’s just say it was Vegas, there were fighters, coaches, officials, executives and more there from all over the world and no shortage of opportunities to party like a frat boy on nickel night (I wish) with any and all of them at clubs, bars, concerts, restaurants and more all over Sin City. Of course I did. The candle was eviscerated on both ends for nine days and it never affected our work one bit. You gotta love that Vegas adrenaline! Even at 44, I’m proud top say that I’m still in peak form. Work hard, play hard!
Here are some of the highlights of my week, in no particular order:
- Nothing could top walking into the brand new, sparkling T Mobile Arena for UFC 200. I’ve been to Super Bowls, World Series, NBA Finals clinchers, HUGE boxing and UFC Pay-Per-Views, you name it. NOTHING has ever topped the feeling I got when I walked into that building and first laid eyes on the octagon on the biggest night in the history of MMA. Like Phil Collins said, I could feel it comin’ in the air that night. It was an unmistakable feeling that I’ll never forget. Absolutely incredible. The show lived up to that feeling, with the UFC putting on a world-class production that was as good as any I’ve ever seen. Props to Phoenix native and resident AL3, the UFC’s official DJ. He ROCKED that house all night on the biggest night of his career. Nice job Albert!
- Having a very candid one on one chat with Cain during fight week and running it on my show Saturday then watching him absolutely destroy the extremely talented and tough Travis “Hapa” Browne on the biggest stage in the history of the sport. Cain showed off his full arsenal with a barrage of punches, kicks, takedowns and brute strength. I had to ask Cain if his body had worn down from the numerous injuries, if he was a step slower and a little less powerful and most importantly, and painfully, if he was still a world championship caliber fighter. His performance answered all those questions and then some. I should have known better. He’s always come back from his losses stronger than ever. His smile when he glared at me at the press conference said it all. Cain Velasquez is back and ready to wreck everything in his path to get his belt back. Look out Stipe or Overeem. Cain is coming for you, and you better be ready for the fight of your life.
- Doing my weekly segment with UFC Play-By-Play Voice Mike “Goldie” Goldberg on fight day and hearing the enthusiasm in his voice. Goldie sounded like a Litle Leaguer on opening day when I asked him if this event would be the biggest one of his career and he left no doubt that it was. Remember, this was coming from the longtime UFC voice who has called nearly every huge fight in the promotion’s storied history, and perhaps more importantly, a lifelong hockey addict who has called Stanley Cup Finals clinchers and drank from Lord Stanley’s Cup. As a PBP guy myself, I couldn’t help but feel great for my friend and partner. He’s an awesome dude and a great announcer who doesn’t get anywhere near the credit he deserves for the overall quality of his telecasts because Joe Rogan is such a huge star. Every superstar analyst has to have the perfect partner to steer them in and out and set them up to do what they do. Goldie consistently sacrifices his own shine so Joe can light the world on fire. That isn’t easy at all, trust me.
- Eddie Alvarez stopping Rafael Dos Anjos to win the Lightweight Championship in the main event at UFC Fight Night on Thursday. Alvarez is an MMA icon who had reached the highest levels of the sport but never won won a true World Championship. Dos Anjos was brutalizing everyone in his path until Eddie came along and snuffed him out with a hard straight right from off the cage followed by a barrage of punches followed by a missed flying knee that gave Dos Anjos top position. Alavarez quickly reversed and got on top and started pounding away on the Brazilian until Herb Dean stopped the fight at 3:49. In his post-fight interview with Jon Anik, the Philly native screamed out “don’t bring the dog out of me” two times, much to the delight of his deliriously screaming fans. They were everywhere and they were LOUD. It was truly a great scene, and I was able to get a few great pics from just feet away as he celebrated his lifelong dream coming true. So cool!
- Brock Lesnar’s walkout, win over Mark Hunt and press conference at UFC 200. Say what you want about the polarizing Lesnar, he is as big a superstar as there is in sports entertainment today. I could feel the electricity surging through me as he was about to walk out to the Octagon, and when “Enter Sandman” hit, the place went bananas. Plus at 39 years young, the former UFC Heavyweight Champ took five years off, spent only six weeks training for the #8 heavyweight in the world and DOMINATED the fight. He took down the HUGE Samoan several times and relentlessly pounded his way to this win. He even ate a couple of big shots in the process. How many people on Earth could ever dream of that, let alone do it? Of course he wasn’t as sharp as he needs to be to ever have a chance of reclaiming the belt, but what he did was truly remarkable. And his press conference was the usual mix of funny one liners, jabs at both Dana White and Vince McMahon, and 3rd person bravado, answering the first question (about his future plans) in classic Brock fashion with “Brock Lesnar is gonna do whatever Brock Lesnar wants to do.” I LOVE IT!
- Getting to know all the great fighters and people who represented our country at the IMMAF Worlds, especially two-time world champion Will “Soldier of Christ” Starks, who became just the second fighter in US history to win back-to-back titles, joining Titan FC Star Jose “Shorty” Torres. Will is an athletic freak, a very skilled and smart fighter, an intensely focused and dedicated competitor, an amazing teammate, a fun and charismatic personality and a flat-out joy to be around. I love this kid and I believe he will be wearing a lot of belts before his career is done. Looking at Will’s eyes at point blank distance as our national anthem played is something I’ll never forget. They say the eyes are the windows to the soul, and in this case, they are dead on. He had worked so hard and beaten so many odds- and opponents- to get there, and now he had won the ultimate prize in Amateur MMA on behalf of his country- for the 2nd time! Two words… GOOSE BUMPS!
- My buddy Anthony “El Toro” Birchak outlasting a very tough Delino Lopes at Fight Night in spite of breaking his thumb and tearing the skin open in the first round. “AB” is a great dude and a very tough fighter. This was an awesome win over a quality opponent, and he did it all on the feet with brilliant striking that picked apart the Brazilian from start to finish. He also showed true toughness and a great chin, absorbing several big shots over the three round battle. I’m proud of Anthony. He works as hard as anyone I’ve ever known for everything he has. I can say I called one of his best fights on his way up, a third round finish over Roman “El Galito” Salazar, who would also go on and make it to the UFC.
- Watching ASU Wrestling and UFC Legend Don “The Predator” Frye get inducted into the Hall of Fame on Sunday. His speech was classic Don Frye, which means completely unfiltered and funny as hell. At one point he acknowledged being “pissed off” at the big money fighters are making today, “especially that little Irish guy.” He then added, “tell Dana if he pays me that much, I’ll do a damn press conference in-between rounds.” Of course this was a jab at superstar Conor McGregor, who was pulled from the UFC 200 card by UFC President Dana White for refusing to travel and promote his rematch with Nate Diaz. I’ve met the 2x World Champion a couple of times and always enjoyed talking with him. It was nice to see him get what he so richly deserved, a place in history next to the immortals of this sport. His friend and fellow ASU Wrestling Alum Dan “The Beast” Severn gave a great induction speech for Don, telling some classic stories and giving us some true insight into what life was like for these pioneers in the 1990’s. Awesome!
Those were just the highlights. There were a lot more amazing memories. I could go on for days. As you can see, it was the week of a lifetime and I’m extremely blessed to do what I do. I believe in chasing my dreams full speed all the time and never letting anything stop me from living my life the way I want to live it. I’ve never done it any other way and I’m proud of it. I always do my best to inspire all of you and everyone I come across to do the same. This blog will constantly reflect that. I hope you enjoy my unique views on this amazing sport from the best seat in the house! Please don’t forget to listen to Cage Side Seat, Saturdays at noon on Fox Sports 910, foxsports910.iheart.com and the iHeart Radio app.
That’s it for now peeps. Until next time, keep your game tight and your mind right.

Ordinals Charges Spike as Bored Ape Yacht Membership Clones Bloom on Bitcoin
Geopolitics at Stake in US Response to Digital Yuan: Report
- Whereas not many technical particulars of China’s plans for its central financial institution digital foreign money (CBDC) are publicly out there, the digital yuan is already elevating considerations round privateness, nationwide safety and political energy.
- The Digital Foreign money/Digital Fee (DCEP) system would give the Chinese language Communist Celebration the highly effective capability to observe in actual time the minute monetary dealings of its residents.
- The U.S. must speed up its growth of instruments for coping with CBDCs on the worldwide stage.
China is main the world within the growth and piloting of a Central Financial institution Digital Foreign money (CBDC). With that lead comes elevated scrutiny and considerations over the downstream results a digital yuan may need concerning privateness and political energy.
A new report from the Center for New American Security (CNAS) not solely lays out in stark phrases the historical past and state of China’s CBDC system but in addition critiques what few technical particulars of it can be found and recommends coverage steps the U.S. ought to think about in an escalating CBDC battle.
“This CBDC system, which the Chinese language authorities calls Digital Foreign money/Digital Fee (DCEP), will probably allow the Chinese language Communist Celebration (CCP) to strengthen its digital authoritarianism domestically and export its affect and standard-setting overseas,” reads the report.
“By eliminating a few of the earlier constraints on authorities information assortment of personal residents’ transactions, DCEP represents a big danger to the long-held requirements of monetary privateness upheld in free societies.”
Privateness dangers of China’s digital yuan
The privateness considerations come up largely from the large quantity of perception a CBDC would give Chinese language authorities into its customers’ monetary information and conduct, in addition to details about anybody who interacts with these customers – together with, probably, Americans.
“DCEP would give the Chinese language Communist Celebration one thing that no authorities has ever had in historical past: The flexibility to observe in actual time the minute monetary dealings of its residents,” stated Yaya J. Fanusie, an Adjunct Senior Fellow at CNAS and co-author of the report, in an e-mail to CoinDesk. His analysis focuses on the nationwide safety implications of cryptocurrencies.
He stated that whereas a lot of the world transacts digitally at this time, that transactional information will not be accessible wholesale by authorities authorities as a result of the federal government has to undergo monetary establishments to amass the information.
The DCEP design deviates from this mannequin, placing the information immediately within the fingers of the CCP with out having to undergo intermediaries. Anybody utilizing a digital yuan just about concedes his or her monetary privateness on to the Chinese language authorities, in line with Fanusie. It’s not but clear how accessible DCEP can be outdoors China, however whether it is, this has implications for different governments.
“The U.S. authorities must assess whether or not DCEP use needs to be blocked in the USA,” stated Fanusie. “However private-sector U.S. tech corporations must also be interested by whether or not they may enable the DCEP utility to be accessible on their platforms, resembling app shops.”
The report notes that officers of the Individuals’s Financial institution of China have stated the CBDC can have “controllable anonymity,” that means the central financial institution might observe and monitor transactions going down whereas the transacting events would stay non-public. Nonetheless, the central financial institution has additionally stated it will be nonetheless capable of analyze transactions to observe “crimes.”
Taken at the side of China’s loose-knit social credit system, info gleaned from digital yuan transactions may very well be used to wield punitive energy towards Chinese language residents. Moreover, any metadata collected might give perception into customers’ private and gadget actions, in line with the report, additional rounding out a physique of great private information.
“PBOC modeling of DCEP exhibits that every digital foreign money token held by customers can be constructed with a cryptographic algorithm expression, with numerous information inputs resembling info on the proprietor of the token,” reads the report. “Not all the information shall be out there to these transacting in DCEP, however they may all be out there to the central financial institution, in line with its early proposed design sketches and most technical experiences about DCEP.”
The PBOC will thus change into a possessor of a big information trove to mix with its instruments for censuring and surveilling people.
The political energy of CBDCs
Associated to privateness considerations are the methods an absence of privateness coupled with the usage of large information can be utilized to deprive people of political energy and even change their conduct.
The parable of the panopticon is a method of this. In it, a central remark tower is positioned inside a circle of jail cells so guards can see each cell and its occupant, whereas inmates are unable to see into the tower. By no means understanding if they’re being watched or not, prisoners assume they’re being surveilled and behave accordingly – that’s, the way in which authorities need them to behave.
Whereas actually simplistic in relation to the problems of the digital age, it’s a fundamental mannequin for understanding that info and surveillance are types of energy that may be wielded within the service of a particular set of outcomes.
Within the U.S., the founders created the Fourth Modification to the Structure exactly as a result of it was understood that if the federal government had entry to everybody’s non-public possessions (resembling their papers at house), it will result in authorities repression, in line with Fanusie.
“This dynamic continues to exist, and locations like China which don’t have this customary constructed into their governing system usually tend to abuse their residents and hinder their capability to advocate for his or her pursuits or redress grievances,” he stated.
The report notes the PBOC is already testing a digital yuan as “a approach to disburse authorities salaries and subsidies.” The centralized monitoring and management of DCEP wallets would make it simpler for the federal government to chop off an individual’s capability to transact than if it needed to try to take action by different third events.
Cryptocurrencies have been engaging to some events as a method to have interaction in a monetary world past the attain of the state. Some case research of the advantages of this are clear in locations like Nigeria, the place teams protesting police violence have been capable of obtain funds through bitcoin after the federal government froze their financial institution accounts, and in Belarus the place protestors towards the nation’s newest illegitimate election have been supported by bitcoin grants after being fired from their jobs for protesting.
CBDCs carry the thought of a digital foreign money squarely beneath state management and could appear in battle with the ethos of cryptocurrencies. However Fanusie stated CBDCs most likely gained’t immediately impression cryptocurrencies’ capability to flourish “until monetary authorities technically attempt to ban cryptocurrencies, which isn’t possible.”
CBDCs may very well be seen as a method for residents to have the performance of digital cash as an alternative of permissionless cryptocurrencies.
“So, there’s actually a component of governments eager to compete with crypto,” stated Fanusie. “However one large chance is that by creating the infrastructure for digital wallets, programmability and microtransactions through CBDCs, governments would possibly really make cryptocurrency adoption simpler.”
The report concludes with a set of particular coverage suggestions from Fanusie and his co-author, Emily Jin, a analysis assistant for the Power, Economics, and Safety Program at CNAS.
These embrace issues resembling pursuing a diplomacy marketing campaign urging Chinese language authorities transparency and restraint in utilizing DCEP for punitive measures, monitoring any DCEP information assortment on U.S. residents, making CBDCs a key a part of U.S. nationwide safety considerations and analyzing the non-public sector within the U.S.’ ties to “China’s digital monetary authoritarianism.”
Lastly, the report suggests the U.S. lead CBDC standard-setting going ahead, conduct extra analysis into the financial impression of CBDCs, and have a look at financial statecraft potentialities for combatting CBDCs, together with evaluating “whether or not and the way the USA can apply sanctions instruments to CBDCs.”
CBDCs aren’t a query of if at this level, however somewhat when. The earlier key issues resembling these are taken into consideration and seen as an integral a part of geopolitics, the earlier international locations can think about the dangers and advantages they provide.
“The U.S. ought to elevate this as an vital difficulty in diplomatic channels and in addition emphasize the privateness element in intergovernmental discussions on CBDC, resembling with the Financial institution for Worldwide Settlements, but in addition the Monetary Stability Board, the G7, and G20,” stated Fanusie.

Although the real estate market in the United States is getting better, there are still many Americans suffering. As reported recently by the Associated Press, a new study from AARP has found that 1.5 million American seniors have already lost their homes due to foreclosure, and the storm doesn’t seem to have ended yet.
Debra Whitman with AARP told the news outlet that the loss of so many homes has broken some popular misconceptions.
“The Great Recession has been brutal for many older Americans,” Whitman said. “This shows that home ownership doesn’t guarantee financial security later in life.”
The AARP study discovered that one in six older homeowners – about 3.5 million people – are ‘underwater’- that is, they have seen the value of their homes fall so much that they owe more in their mortgage than the house is worth.
The report also found that 600,000 more older American homeowners are currently in foreclosure, and another 650,000 are at least three months’ behind in their mortgage payments.
For many seniors who have seen the value of their homes fall, it has become more difficult for them to sell, and thus to capture the equity to help pay for an assisted living community. Still, there are always affordable options for senior living. Visit RetirementHomes.com to find your perfect home.

|Midwifery is the term traditionally used to describe the practice of assisting a woman through childbirth. In the modern context, this term is used to describe the activities of those health care providers who are experts in women's health care including giving prenatal care to expecting mothers. They attend the birth of the infant and provide postpartum care to the mother and her infant. Practitioners of midwifery are known as midwives, a term used in reference to both women and men (the term means "with woman").
Midwives are autonomous practitioners who are specialists in normal pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum. They generally strive to help women have a healthy pregnancy and natural birth experience. Midwives are also primary care givers providing general women's health care. Midwives are trained to recognize and deal with deviations from the norm. Obstetricians, in contrast, are specialists in illness related to childbearing and in surgery. The two professions can be complementary, but often are at odds because obstetricians are taught to "actively manage" labor, while midwives are taught not to intervene unless necessary.
Midwives refer to obstetricians when a woman requires care beyond her or his areas of expertise. In many jurisdictions, these professions work together to provide care to childbearing women. In others, only the midwife is available to provide care. Midwives are trained to handle certain situations that are considered abnormal, including breech birth and posterior position, using non-invasive techniques. In many areas of the world, traditional midwives, renamed "traditional birth attendants" by the World Health Organization (WHO) and other groups, are the only available providers for childbearing women.

Ghasemian, Fatemeh; Faraji, Roya; Asgharnia, Maryam; Zahiri, Ziba & Bahadori, Mohammad Hadi
Background: Abnormal oocyte morphology has been associated with the hormonal environment to which the gametes are exposed.
Objective: In this study, we evaluated the oocytes morphology, fertilization rate, embryos quality, and implantation rate resulted of retrieved oocytes in different times after human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) administration.
Materials and Methods: A total of 985 metaphase II oocytes were retrieved 35, 36, 37 and 38 h after the injection of HCG as groups 1, 2, 3, and 4 respectively. Oocyte morphology was divided into (I) normal morphology, (II) extracytoplasmic abnormalities, (III) cytoplasmic abnormalities and (IV) intracytoplasmic vacuoles and in each group, oocytes were evaluated according to this classification.
Results: Extracytoplasmic abnormalities were encountered in 17.76% and 31.1% of these oocytes (groups 3 and 4 respectively, p=0.007) in comparison with 12.23% group 2. Cytoplasmic abnormalities in group 4 were higher than other groups. 23.88% (p=0.039) and 43.25% (p=0.089) of resulted 2PN (two pronucleus) from groups 3 and 4 showed grade Z3 respectively in comparison to group 2 (16.44%). Normal and various categories of abnormal oocytes did not differ regarding fertilization and cleavage rates (p=0.061). However, group 4 showed significant difference in the rate of embryos fragmentation (grade III and IV embryo) in comparison with group 2 (40.96% vs. 24.93%, p=0.078). The pregnancy rate was higher in G2 and G3 groups (28.5 and 24.13% respectively).
Conclusion: Oocyte retrieval time following HCG priming affected on oocyte morphology, 2PN pattern and embryos qualities subsequently. Both good quality embryo formation and pregnancy outcomes were noticeably higher when oocytes were retrieved 36 h after HCG priming in ART program.
Oocyte retrieval time; Human Chorionic Gonadotropin priming time; Oocyte morphology; Embryo quality; Assisted reproductive technique

The Best Theaters In Mexico
Teatro de Bellas Artes
The National Theater began to be constructed in 1904 by Italian architect Adamo Boari, finally becoming the spectacular Palacio de Bellas Artes. Construction was programmed to conclude in four years but took much longer because it started to sink due to the weight of its steel, concrete and marble structure, too heavy for Mexico Citys soil. It also took so long because the Mexican Revolution erupted in 1910. It was finally concluded and inaugurated in 1934. The impressive architecture of this venue is now one of Mexicos proudest jewels. The theaters curtain is made of crystal weighting 22 tons, to watch it being softly raised before each performance is a spectacle on its own. Its walls proudly display murals by Orozco, Rivera, Siqueiros and Tamayo, among others. It holds the testimony of the great artists and ideas that have been warmly received within its majestic premises.
Teatro de la República (Querétaro, Qro.)
This theater was inaugurated in 1852 as Iturbide Theater and changed its name in 1922. It is a historical treasure where some of Mexicos greatest events have occurred. It proudly hosted the first performance of the National Hymn in 1854; it is also where Maximilian of Hapsburg and his Generals Miguel Miramon and Tomas Mejia were sentenced to death and where President Venustiano Carranza signed the Republics Constitution in 1917. It currently hosts some of the countrys most important displays of fine art.
Teatro Juárez (Guanajuato, Gto.)
This theater is a landmark in the City of Guanajuato. Inaugurated in 1903, it has been the venue of the most important artistic expressions in the region. It began its construction in 1973 and was inaugurated on October 27 1903 by President Porfirio Diaz, the occasion was crowned by the performance of the opera Aida. Its architecture is a sample of the eclecticism of its time. Its hall is in a U shape and its decorated in an Oriental style. Its outstanding curtain was made by the artist Labasta, from the Opera of Paris, recreating a fragment of the story Constantinoples Golden Horn.
Teatro Isauro Martinez (Torreón, Coah.)
For the pride of the regions dwellers, this theater is considered by tourist guides Roji and Michelin as Mexicos second most beautiful. Inaugurated in 1930, this venue represents a vital cultural center for the region, exactly as its founder Isauro Martinez once dreamed it would be. The special characteristics of its architecture and decoration provide a perfect visibility and acoustic for all its 700 seats. The façade and interiors mix art deco with Arab and eclectic styles. Also outstanding is its frontal rosette with a great stained-glass window within an immense Moresque arch. Its concert hall was decorated by Spanish symbolist Salvador Tarazona, an intricate work of arabesque and relieves in Indonesian and Ottoman style. The impressive mural paintings on both sides of the stage show exotic scenes that quickly transport spectators to a magical world of beauty.
Teatro de los Héroes (Chihuahua, Chih.)
Designed by Architect Miguel Angel Garcia Dorantes and inaugurated by President Jose Lopez Portillo on October 2 1980, this modern theater is a worthy successor of its former namesake theater inaugurated in 1902. This Victorian style theater was in the same category as the best theaters in the country during the 19th century. Unfortunately, it burned down in 1955. The current version of this space hosts theater plays, opera, concerts, festivals and government acts for the pleasure of its 1429 seats.

- Struggling with student loans?
- Maine provides debt relief to recent graduates.
Maine is offering student debt relief to graduates who live and work in the state.
Known for its lobster and lighthouses, Maine also has one of the oldest populations in the U.S. — the median age in the state is 43, around five years older than the rest of the country. To attract younger workers, Maine is providing tax credits to student loan borrowers.
"We don't have enough people in Maine to satiate our long-term workforce needs," said Nate Wildes, engagement director of Live and Work in Maine, which markets the campaign. "The fact that you have debt and the fact that you've graduated indicate you have something to offer to the economy."
The state government shelled out $13.1 million in tax credits to 7,290 student loan borrowers in 2016, up from around $6.7 million to 4,666 borrowers in 2014.
It's unsurprising that demand for relief is on the rise. Outstanding education debt in the U.S. now exceeds $1.5 trillion, posing a greater burden to Americans than auto or credit card debt. Average debt at graduation is currently around $30,000, up from $13,000 in the late 1990s.
Maine's program — called the Educational Opportunity Tax Credit — began as a way to encourage residents to stay in the state after they graduated college and was available only to people who had studied there. It has since expanded to people who hail from any college in the U.S., so long as they graduated after 2016.
The details of the program vary based on when you graduated and whether you are from Maine or elsewhere.
But generally, people are able to subtract their total student loan payments over the year from their state income tax liability. So if you owe the state $2,000 in state income taxes and you paid $1,800 in student loans, you'll owe Maine just $200.
The terms are more generous for people with STEM degrees. Borrowers from science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields can get a check from the state if the amount they paid for their student loans exceeds their state income tax liability for the year. For example, if an engineer paid $2,500 in student loans and owed just $2,000 in state income taxes, she'll receive $500 from Maine.
"If you have a STEM degree the state will, and often does, pay you, instead of you paying the state on your income taxes," Wildes said.
Before you start packing, mull over the advantages you might lose by leaving your current location, said Mark Kantrowitz, publisher of SavingForCollege.com. "One needs to consider how salaries in Maine compare with salaries elsewhere," he said. "If your salary elsewhere is higher, you might be able to create your own loan forgiveness program."
The average salary in the state is $45,300. Maine offers opportunities in the information technology and health-care sectors, and there are many new start-ups popping up, Wildes said. The unemployment rate hovers around 3 percent, lower than the national rate, which is closer to 4 percent.
The program is likely to have a meaningful impact on the state's economy, Wildes said, considering the current population is just around 1.3 million.
"If we attract 40,000 to 60,000 new people over the next five to 10 years, and those people meet the workforce needs, that's an exorbitant amount of people for Maine," said Wildes.

With the uncertainty of a massive scale, the COVID-19 pandemic also brought an unprecedented change in the lives of pet owners. The supply-demand chain got severely disrupted, implying shortages and limited availability of pet products like food, litter, and toys.
Though the post-pandemic world would be a lucrative opportunity for both pet product makers and pet owners as normalcy prevails after spending months locked down at home. But as the saying goes, “Every cloud has a silver lining,” the devastating pandemic had brought us closer to our pets, who have been there with us as an anchor through it all.
Hence, the onus is now on us to show our four-legged friends some extra care and love by ensuring they get what they deserve in the post-pandemic world. PetCareRx might be your perfect companion in supporting and fulfilling different pet needs, such as foods, medications, toys, training kits, wellness products, etc.
This article will walk you through how, as a pet parent, you can prepare for the next normal and cater to the ever-changing needs and demands of your furry friend while ensuring they stay safe, healthy, and happy.
In the post-pandemic world, getting your pet the necessary shots should be your top priority. It has become even more important considering the lethal impact of the COVID-19 pandemic not only on humans but also on animals. These shots and vaccinations are proven to be protective gear for your pets and help them fight against bacteria and other possible disease-causing agents.
The essential vaccinations include rabies shots, which can be administered annually or in three years based on the regulatory guidelines. Plus, ensuring your pets receive flea and tick medication timely will help them to stay away from a deadly infection. Lastly, you should ensure your furry friend has received heartworm medication if you want them to remain unaffected by mosquito-borne diseases.
This is because these agents and parasites are highly and equally dangerous in the post-pandemic world as they are today.
Being a pet owner, you must prevent your pets from interacting with other dogs and people for some time in the post-pandemic world. This becomes even more important if you belong to an area that was in a danger zone during the pandemic because there may still be some infected individuals or animals that can pass on the diseases to your pet.
Though the post-pandemic world brought some level of pre-pandemic normalcy, taking some precautions as a pet parent will always work in your favor. You should avoid going to places where there is a high risk of infection, such as jam-packed markets, red-zone areas, and other crowded places, to avoid getting your lovely pet sick.
Thus, it is highly recommended to keep your pets at home as much as possible or ensure they shouldn’t come into contact with other animals or humans outside of your immediate family members. Moreover, avoid getting your pets to public places like grocery stores or restaurants where the possibility of coming into contact with strangers is high.
It’s true that owning a pet is a big responsibility, but the trap that your pets are the most essential thing in your life is merely an illusion. Why? This is because you can’t take care of your pets if you’re not healthy and safe in the first place.
This might sound a bit strange, but it’s true. Your health is your golden possession. So, it’s essential to take good care of yourself to perform other tasks and responsibilities effectively (including being a pet parent).
The first step to safeguarding yourself against pet-borne diseases is to wash your hands before and after you come in contact with your pets. If possible, use hand sanitizer instead of soap – but make sure it’s alcohol-based. In case your pet comes into contact with other unknown pets, wash them up immediately by using an antibacterial gel or wipes in all areas which were being touched.
Furthermore, if you have pets of different species and breeds, keep them separate and make sure they don’t share things like food plates and toys, among other things.
We know how much you love your furry friends, even during difficult times. If there’s anything that can be taken away from this post-pandemic era, it’s that these animals deserve our unconditional care and affection. But, take good care of yourself, too.
We have rounded up the most important things pet parents must be aware of. In the post-pandemic world, it is crucial for all of us to stay informed and plan ahead. There are still many unknowns about the virus, but we can do our best to help keep ourselves and our pets safe by being cautious and taking precautions.

Draw Circuits Instantly
Light up your imagination.
Kits & Bundles
Pens & Accessories
Making Electronics Fun
Why We Do What We Do
Once curious kids ourselves, we knew it would take something special to get kids excited about learning and electronics. That’s what inspired us to invent our conductive ink pen. The pen draws in non-toxic ink made with silver. Since silver is a conductive metal, doodling with the pen is like drawing wires!
Once you’ve doodled your circuit lines, bring your electronic artwork to life with the magnetic modules. Here’s how it works:
First, place the included steel canvas behind a piece of paper, then snap on magnetic modules which connect to your drawn lines. Switch on the battery module to light up lights, run motors, power a buzzer, or connect advanced modules like transistors, potentiometers, and double switches.
There are two things we love the most about Circuit Scribe kits.
First, the act of drawing circuits by hand really connects the dots in your mind about how a circuit works and why (especially when compared with using a breadboard and jumper wires).
Second, because you’re using pen and paper, you can explore science through art. Make a connecting “wire” by drawing your name in script. Add papercraft buttons and decorations. We love art - let your creativity guide you!
Circuit Scribe is very scalable for different ages. Since the kits’ building blocks are simple, they are great for exposing elementary school students to the concepts of circuits and conductivity. Drawing a basic circuit with, say, a battery and an LED light is a great intro to electronics. (Or make our famous “high-five detector” to get an instant “aha!”)
The kits are also extensible and hit the mark with middle school and high-schoolers as well. Circuit Scribe is even used in AP Physics classes and in real-world prototyping. Break out the transistors, light sensors, and DIY connectors that come with resistors and capacitors, and you can explore advanced concepts.
Circuit Scribe even has connector modules that can bridge your drawn circuits with STEM tools like Arduinos, Makey Makeys, bread boards, or any other components that can receive a wire as an input.
Here at Circuit Scribe we’re dedicated to getting kids excited about their futures as makers, inventors, developers, scientists, artists and everything in-between. We love real science, and at the same time we think that exploring science should be artistic and fun.
