It’s a well-known problem in Westborough that needed some clever thinking to solve. After years of frustration and traffic snarl-ups resulting from tractor-trailers hitting the low clearance East Main Street bridge, town officials have finally reached an agreement train transportation company CSX that should resolve the situation. That solution? A drawbridge.
The proposal isn’t actually as far-fetched as it may seem. That’s because the East Main Street bridge was originally installed as a drawbridge back in 1840 when large trolleys traveled into Westborough piled high with materials critical to the Town’s sleigh maker industry. “When we looked more closely at the construction of the bridge, we actually found gear mechanisms still in tact from over a century ago, which should keep costs much lower than otherwise expected.”
Most people are familiar with drawbridges over waterways, which are retracted to allow passage for ships that are too large. This new bridge will be designed in a similar fashion so it can be easily raised for tractor trailers that are too tall to fit safely underneath it.
The town will be utilizing a drawbridge firm from the Island of Sodor, which boasts some of the most well-known experts in the field of train depots, stations and bridges.
According to a statement from the bridge consultants, the town will continue to use the Overheight Vehicle Sensor System [show vehicle sensor image] – the laser warning system recently installed that measures a truck’s height before it has a chance to hit the bridge. In this case, that sensor will trigger the drawbridge.
The new bridge will be designed using a turbo encabulator, a complex process explained to us by consultant Dr. Emmett Brown. “Using a base-plate of prefabulated amulite, surmounted by a malleable logarithmic casing in such a way that the two spurving bearings are in a direct line with the pentametric fan. The main winding will be of the normal lotus-o-delta type placed in panendermic semi-boloid slots in the stator, with every seventh conductor being connected by a nonreversible treme pipe to the differential girdlespring on the ‘up’ end of the grammeters.”
Police Chief Alan Gordon said his department regularly receives reports of trucks either striking the bridge, or approaching the bridge and coming to a halt when they realize they may not clear the underpass. The traffic backup and the associated costs can be significant, which is why the Chief was thrilled with this proposed solution.
The agreement was signed on April 1st 2016 and work is expected to begin at some point soon and may be completed sometime thereafter.
And this is why working at WTV and with the wildly creative staff is the best! Makes me miss you more ❤
You had me for a few moments there – I thought that seemed like a wonderful idea, and why hadn’t someone thought of it before!
Yes – agreed! Kind of like with the Lego Water Tower idea from last year! http://westboroughtv.org/wtv/everything-is-awesome-in-westborough/
If we can’ t get the drawbridge, on to the next idea: the Rotary Bypass Tunnel!
I’m guessing this is an April Fool’s joke judging by the unfathomable mechanical explanation. But if you really have a low bridge problem, why not let the warning hang down on a moveable flap with a huge warning written on it the way they do on Storrow Dr. in Boston? People continue to hit the bridge, but I think it does stop some folks.
A bypass tunnel would be a great way to open Main Street to pedestrian traffic changing the nature of down town. I suspect the cost might be too high for the town to bear though.
I would love to see downtown as a center for music and entertainment to increase the stature if Westborough as a place to visit for tourists and a place to live for us.

Subject: Q&A About XIII
Electric Playground has a Q&A with Ubi Soft's Julien Bares about the cel-shaded first person shooter "XIII":
"XIII is a first person shooter using cel-shaded animation and based on a Belgian comic book by Jean Van Hamme. It's being built with the Unreal engine and will be released early next year for all platforms. Ubi Soft promises 'a conspiracy of epic proportions, and players will unravel clues behind the story's compelling and mysterious events through the game's unique flashback visuals.' They are also claiming a finely balanced combination of action and stealth, unheard of levels of interactivity and freedom, and exceptionally smooth textures and fluid animation. We can't wait to see if the game delivers, and to find out more about XIII we asked some questions of the game's producer, Julien Bares."This game looks to be a hit.

PROVO, UT – Local musicians have found a new way to build their reputation through social media: by following you.
Aubree Liz Schill has been making music for more than four years, and uses YouTube, Instagram and Facebook to build her brand. “I feel like you have to be really good at networking if you don’t use social media,” Schill stated. “It’s still all about who you know and who you meet.”
Social media platforms not only help people connect with one another, but also serve as a cost-free way for local entertainers to promote their music.
Many local artists run their own social networking pages because they feel it makes them more personable. “You can be everywhere and nowhere at the same time,” said Ben Arevalo, a member of Orem-based duo Morningrise Drive.
By incorporating new social media platforms to connect with others musicians adapt to a growing, changing culture. They advise prospective musicians to follow as many people as you can on social media, post content often, and use the right hashtags.

Pueblo Revolt 1600s
Pueblo Revolt (1600s)- The Spanish had taken over present day New Mexico and the Natives, in particular Pope, were mad because this angered their spiritual ancestors. They were angry because the Spanish set up churches and imprisoned many of the Natives. Although some were not on board, most Natives kicked out the Spanish and destroyed their churches and killed many priests. The Spanish fled to Mexico to regroup.
-This like the Iroquois Confederation was significant because a group of Natives were actually able to hold their ground with the Europeans. The Spanish did come back and overtake them but after 50 years. Also many other things happened like the marriage of the Spanish and Indians that led to a more …show more content…
These acts stated that the colonies could only import and export to British ships. They did this to hold in wealth by taxing the colonists and not lose their colonies -These acts backfired for Britain because this act was one of many that angered the colonists. The high taxes on trade would spark the American Revolution and create the United States. The US would then become a powerful country that has been significantly involved in history. (WWI, WWII, Vietnam War, etc.)
Molasses Act(1733)- British Parliament wanted to keep an monopoly of sugar, molasses and rum on the Colonies so they put high taxes on these imported items if they came from any other place that did not belong to Britain. This act is famous because it was ignored by the colonists. They decided to smuggle in cheaper sugar and rum
-This Act angered the Northern Colonies in particular because it interfered with their economy. They had to pay a lot for the sugar so that meant that they had to raise their prices on goods. This again would lead to the American Revolution. Britain would lose its gain on the Americas so it would concentrate on India, which led to cultural problems

Millions of dollars in a lush fur coats were stolen from a New York City store during a smash-and-grab robbery on christmas Eve.
DOWN THE DRAIN: PRISONERS ESCAPE TENNESSEE IN PRISON BY BROKEN TOILET
The glass front door of the Dennis Basso Boutique, a well-known boutique on Madison Avenue in the Upper East Side, was destroyed by the robbers, and a bee-line for the high-priced sable and chinchilla fur, according to Eyewitness News ABC 7. A manager of the store suspect that the bandits may have caused the shop to the front.
“They certainly knew where those pieces were hanging, because the first man ran straight to that area where the sables were held,” says the manager, who declined to give his name, told Eyewitness News.
SEVEN SHOT AFTER THE FIGHT AT THE NC PARTY FOR 300
Store management also said that the packaging of the thieves got away with at least 20 large fur pieces, worth millions of dollars at the worst time of year for every retailer.

Basso told Page Six, “it would be the largest fur heist in the city of New York.”
“This is the time that we sell those goods, and not selling is a problem,” the manager added.
No arrests have been made Monday afternoon.
Basso is a well-known design that suits many of the wealthy women of the Upper East Side. He is also known for the reduction of celebs like Paris and Nicky Hilton in an extravagant fur jackets and scarves.
The designer says that the heist resulted in a loss of millions of dollars worth of the articles.
“They knew what they were looking for,” Basso said on Page Six. “They broke the door to my Madison Avenue store, and 5 hours on christmas Eve and took only the most expensive sable coats.
“It would be the largest fur heist in the city of New York.”

How do you display the Christmas cards you receive?
I love this idea here - Wouldn't it be nice to be able to place your family's Christmas cards received into one of the pre-cut slots on this festive Beistle cardboard Christmas tree and have them stay there properly? It's 6 feet tall, so I don't see a family running out of space to display cards anytime soon. The tree is $22.00.
Here's a cute Biestle brick (looking) fireplace mantel you can unfold to place beside it. It's 3' X 1" by 25" and would look pretty cute next to the tree. It would make for a good photo prop, too. This sells for $12.99.
Shipping is free if your order is over $35 or are a Prime member, otherwise shipping will start at around $6.50.

Today’s society faces changes to the social, economic and cultural paradigm that forces schools of architecture to rethink their curricula. This is the main thesis proposed by the director of the UIC Barcelona School of Architecture, Josep Lluis i Ginovart, on 7 March during the round table titled “Hablamos del Eixample: Espacio Urbano” (Let’s talk about the Eixample: Urban Space). The debate was moderated by journalist Catalina Serra, and organised by the Catalunya La Pedrera Foundation. The directors of all six schools of architecture of Catalonia also participated as the group analysed the historical evolution of the urban project devised by Ildefons Cerdà, and the challenges it faces today.
“The ability of schools of architecture to adapt to today’s reality is fundamental and we must ask ourselves what society expects of us. Essentially, Architecture curricula have changed little over the past few decades and we must be able to adapt to the current socio-economic context and respond to the fragility of our cities”, said Josep Lluis i Ginovart.
During the event, the directors of the other Catalan schools of architecture (ETSAB, ETSAV, ETSA La Salle URL, UdG and URV) emphasised the unique nature of the Eixample’s urban planning model, a reference for all architecture students in Catalonia, and analysed the current transformation process with a view to adapting to the context of the climate emergency.

JUDGING OK AND TESTING MOLTEN IRON. 309
being poured he can often greatly control, and hence the advantage of practice in this factor causes study to train the eye, which very soon becomes expert in deciding the best moment at which to pour a mould. A like study of the molten character, combined with the temperature in a fluid state, may enable the moulder to judge as well in one case as the other, and this should be practiced more than it is, as no moulder or founder can tell when a knowledge of the former would not be as valuable as the latter.
Judging the grade of metal by its appearance in a fluid state is often done by experienced founders, and with a little study and observation the following description may often enable the inexperienced to soon become proficient in judging molten metal: A No. i or high graphite soft iron * will generally present a lively vibration of different colors having the appearance of coming up from below the surface, forming an oxidized crust. This crust has the appearance of struggling to break away from alloys, which do not take kindly to being associated with a grey or soft iron. When No. i iron is slowly cooling down from a high temperature to a low one, it will often be unable to hold all its carbon in a combined state. What cannot be retained will gradually rise to the surface as graphite in the form of a scum or kish, and in the latter state will float away in the air, often covering everything near at hand with thin flakes of shining material, looking like silver lead or plumbago. This can properly be called pure carbon freed from the metal. About blast furnaces, this latter phenomenon can often be seen, sometimes so active that the employes will be covered with "kish," making them look

Strike The Blood debuted on Tokyo MX on 4th October 2013. The anime is based on the Japanese novel by the same name written by Gakuto Mikumo with illustrations by Manyako. A manga adaptation began serialization in June 2012 in ASCII Media Works’s Dengeki Daioh.
Strike The Blood revolves around a young vampire in high school unwilling to showcase his powers. To asses him, a teenage sword shaman is dispatched. The Japanese anime is a perfect blend of action, comedy, animation, and sci-fi.
When Will Season 4 Release?
Season 4 of the anime was scheduled to release on 4th April 2020. However, due to the outbreak of the COVID-19, the release has been postponed. The fourth season will consist of 12 episodes and will run for 12 weeks. Similar to the previous seasons, Season 4 will also have English subtitles. However, there have been no updates or announcements yet regarding the new release date of the show.
Strike The Blood Season 4: Plot
Hiroki Yoshina will be writing the screenplays. Keiichi Sano will be creating the anime characters’ design. Meanwhile, Jin Aketagawa is overseeing the sound creation at Magic Capsule. The Akeboshi Rockets will perform the opening song.
The show revolves around Kojou Akatsuki, whose ordinary life comes to an end after he absorbs the abilities of a vampire. However, the high school student is unwilling to showcase in powers in the public. To asses him, a young sword shaman Yukina is dispatched. Yukina is a middle school sword shaman from the ancient Lion King agency.
Season 4 will see a relationship blossoming between Kojou and Yukina and will explore the chemistry between them. The previous season ended with an attack on the Kingdom of Sardinia. The attack takes place during a celebration in which Kojo was invited by princess La Folia. Therefore, Kojou will investigate the reason for the attack and search for the people who did it.
We can also expect to see a fight between Kojou and the attackers. In the third season, it was revealed that Kojou’s classmates Asagi is the priestess of Cain. Her story will be explored in the coming season.

As we all move forward in our struggle to ascertain the correct response to concerns of human rights, oppression, monetary segregation, and aloof elected/appointed officials, we must remember our distant past. I invite you to take a moment and analyze these photos; let them work in you.
There is a strong connection between what is happening in the part of the world depicted in the photos and the part of the world you and I inhabit.
As I revisit these images, each from its own moment in time, I am reminded of the setting in which the targets of the photography must have become accustomed to:
Crumbling buildings and hazy horizons providing a backdrop for the many comingled fires, each extending dark tendrils coalescing upward into a darkening smog. In the squares tens of thousands of people shouting together, their collecting voice a booming sentiment. One cause, one thought, propelling them all forward against an armed mass of oppressive police armed with lethal weapons.
Imagining the feeling of running down a ceaseless narrow series of corridors betwixt the stacked structures, where the modern tangle of alleyways intermingles with the overwhelming sense of the old world. Panting, out of breath, racing ahead. Perhaps to reunite with a son, a daughter, a lover, a friend. Elsewhere, explosions echo between the hollow buildings, making the silence between them all the more eerie. Wondering what to do next. Wondering if the following corner I turn will reveal an oppressive wall of security forces who will see me open fire and... what then?

As the crisis in Egypt continues to unfold, these stirring images speak of the struggle taking place between demonstrators and armed security forces.
November 22nd in Tahrir Square, in Cairo Egypt: Masses of demonstrating protesters clear a path to move those injured in the clashes with nearby Egyptian riot police. After stalling for days the ruling military who stepped into power in the vacuum generated by Mubarak's overthrow announced that the civilian government would have power transferred next year in July. These major concessions were whole heartedly rejected however, and thousands of protesters massed to he iconic Tahrir Square threatening what many will perceive as "a second revolution.
Female protesters keep together in a group to protect them from the violent clashes between demonstrators and Egyptian police while the march rages on in the vehement rejection of the military ruling party's refusal to transfer power to the civilian government.
As the protest transcends religious boundaries christian protesters stand in solidarity around their muslim counterparts to protect them while they pray.
While riot police move in on protesters, they chant slogans and maintain the line. Deeply frustrated with their military rulers, the protesters were not satisfied with the civilian cabinet who offered to resign after 72 hours of violent clashes in several cities between demonstrators and security forces.
In this powerful image a protester runs to throw a tear gas canister away during clashes with security forces near Tahrir Square in Cairo. Reports from the front lines indicate that the tear gas used on the civilians is manufactured in an American factory. This tear gas formula is more potent, causes a burning sensation on sensitive areas of the skin particularly the face. Protesters have reported that "it makes you feel like your body is seizing up." Attempts to mitigate the effects of this tear gas by utilizing traditional methods such as a rag soaked in vinegar or coke have been ineffectual in combating this new "improved" formula of crowd control.
Unarmed protesters run for cover from riot police seen in the background firing tear gas and other projectiles at the mass of demonstrators. One man attempts to shield those in front of him while a woman simply stands atop a burnt out vehicle behind him holding her head in her hands.
A wounded protester is carried by his brothers in arms. His agony appears palpable as he is taken to safety from the epicenter of the violent clashes with police.
Even as violence ensues around them the demonstrators stick together. Here a man on a motorcycle chants slogans as clashes between protesters and security forces continue around him.
Riot police fire tear gas canisters at the crowds. In the background police can be seen holding stones in one hand and shields in the other. One officer stoops to pick up a rock behind the man firing his weapon at protesters.
This image from Alexandria Egypt taken Monday November 21 shows protesters holding the line against security forces. After the third straight day of violence that has seen dozens killed the most sustained challenge to the rule of Egypt's military continues.
The sheer mass of protesters here unhappy with the regime change is evident in this aerial view of Tahrir Square in Cairo Egpyt taken November 21, 2011. Security forces bombarded the crowd of several thousand demonstrators with tear gas and rubber bullets in a futile effort to clear the masses.
An injured protester is carried on the backs of others as he is evacuated from the scene of violent clashes with security forces in Tahrir square.
A canadian volunteer nurse attempts to help an egyptian medical team treat injured protesters at Tahrir Square.
Egyptian demonstrators cast stones at riot police (not shown) as clashes with security forces continue for a third day after the military power announced concessions which will set back transfer of power to the civilian government until July 1, 2012. The protesters demand an immediate power transfer to a non-corrupted civilian government.
Taking cover behind makeshift metal barricades, protesters throw stones and attempt to wrestle control back from the occupying military power which seized control in the vacuum left by Mubarak's ousting from power.
Police forces hold their ground and block off streets and access to the public square while shrouded in the haze from spent teargas canisters.
This image depicts police in the midst of beating protesters as they attempt to dismantle the massive demonstration taking place in Tahrir Square. As the strife in Egypt continues to gain attention around the globe, more and more protesters in countries around the world stand in solidarity with the Egyptian people.

On October 20, 2021, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) made amendments to the Emergency Use Authorizations (EUA) for both Moderna and Johnson & Johnson/Janssen COVID-19 vaccines that expanded the use of a booster dose in eligible populations. Maverick County Hospital District is currently administering only Moderna and Johnson & Johnson/Janssen vaccinations.
On October 21, 2021, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued booster recommendations for all three available COVID-19 vaccines in the United States.Eligible individuals may choose which vaccine they receive as a “mix-and-match” booster dose.
For individuals who received a Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine, the following groups are eligible for a booster shot at 6 months or more after their primary series:
Note: The Moderna COVID-19 booster dose is half of the dose that is administered for the primary series dose.
For individuals who received the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine, booster shots are also recommended for those who are 18 and older and who were vaccinated two or more months ago.
As has been the case throughout the COVID-19 vaccination effort, people may self-attest to having a health condition that qualifies them for a booster dose. DSHS recommends that people consult a healthcare provider if they have questions about their risks from COVID-19 and whether a booster dose would be beneficial for them.
We’ll follow up later today with additional materials for your reference. Thank you for your continued diligence in vaccinating all eligible Texans who would like to be vaccinated.

I completed this killer 550 reps workout in just 32 minutes and 46 seconds. I am getting really competitive lately and it is totally thanks to you guys. You are always posting your times to let me know how you did and that’s great motivation for me. If you don’t find it challenging enough to beat my personal record, you can try to beat Frederick’s. He completed this workout today in 24 minutes and 4 seconds. It was an amazing workout and it is impossible to describe the feeling when I finished the very last rep. You have to try it and experience what it feels like when you kick your own butt. Enjoy the workout, push hard, and try to beat my time!
There are 11 exercises in this workout and you will do 50 reps for each of them.
1. Backward Lunge Kick Up (25 reps on each leg)
Start by lunging backwards. Don’t let your knee go over your toes and keep your chest high and abs tight. Rise up and kick the back leg up as high as you can. This counts as one rep. Do 25 on each leg.
2. Walk Over Push Ups – 50 reps
Get into position and do one push up. Then get back into plank and walk with your feet and your hands one step over to the side. Perform another push up and then walk back over to the side where you started from. Each push up counts as one rep. Do 50 reps total. If you can’t continue to do regular push ups, then go down onto your knees, but just remember that you will have to get up on your toes again to walk over to the side.
3. Mountain Climber – 50 reps
Get into the starting position and then just jump up to switch legs. Do 50 reps total.
4. Sumo Squats Knee Up – 50 reps
Stand with your feet wide apart and squat down. Bring your weight towards one side and bring one knee up. Return to the sumo squat again and do the same on the other side. Each knee up counts as one rep. Do 50 reps total.
5. One Leg Bridge Leg Lift – 50 reps
Lay on your exercise mat and put both feet flat on the ground. Lift your hips up, so that your shins are vertical to the ground and your thighs parallel to the floor. Extend one leg out and raise it up so that your toes are pointing toward the sky. Lower your leg down and then repeat 25 times. Do the same thing on the other leg.
6. Side to Side Squat Leg Lift – 50 reps
Stand with your feet wide apart and squat down. Bring your weight to one leg and lift the other leg up and extend it. Put the leg down and now shift the weight to the other side and repeat. Do 50 reps total.
7. One Arm Side Push Up
Lay on your side and place your hand on the floor next to your bottom shoulder. Place the hand of the bottom arm on your top shoulder. Now push with your hand into the ground to bring your upper body up and extend the elbow. Do 25 push ups on each side.
8. Star Crunch – 50 reps
Lay on your back and lift your extended legs up towards the sky. Extend your arms out and above your head. Lift your upper body up and reach with your hands forward between your legs. Open your legs wide and then bring them together again as you lay back down.
9. Diagonal Touch Down – 25 reps on each side
Position yourself in a straddle stance and shift your weight towards the back leg as you squat down to touch the ground right next to your back foot.
Rise up and twist your body in the opposite direction as you reach with both of your arms up towards the sky. Do 25 reps on each side.
10. Side Plank Lifts – 50 reps
Get into the starting position (see the picture above). Your supporting hand should be right underneath your shoulder. Don’t shrug your shoulders. Your legs are extended and crossed for better balance.
Lift your hips up so that you create a straight line with your legs and upper body. Lower your hips down again – this counts as one rep. Do 25 reps on each side.
11. One Leg Wall Sit – 25 reps on each leg
Sit with your back against a wall so that your thighs are parallel to the ground and your knees are above your ankles. Extend one leg out and start pulsing up and down. Do 25 small pulses on each leg.

COLONIE — The Preservation League of New York named the Watervliet Shaker National Register Historic District one of its “Seven to Save” properties because, it said, the site is susceptible to being taken over by new development.
The site, the first home to the Shakers when they moved to America from Manchester, England in 1775, is surrounded by commercial and industrial buildings on all sides and the radius around the iconic meeting house is getting smaller.
The Historic District’s executive director, Starlyn D’Angelo, understands things do change, and is working with longtime neighbors like the airport and those just coming in like the new Afrims athletic complex being built off Watervliet Shaker Road.
“When that property came on the market we looked at conservation easements and we looked at ways to save the property but there was no financially viable way to do that,” she said of Afrims. “We really don’t try to stop these projects. We are pragmatic, and we try to help make it the best possible project it can be so we can preserve as much of the historic integrity as possible while also allowing for changes to happen as they will.”
The Shaker Historic District is actually about a one mile-by-one mile area – or about 700 acres – that includes three “family” parcels. The Church Family, the West Family and the South Family. Afrims purchased land on the West Family property from a family who purchased it from the Shakers. There is a red barn, built by the Shakers and featuring a large star, visible from Watervliet Shaker Road that the society hopes to preserve — even if it has to be moved.
Seven to Save
“The Watervliet Shaker Historic District has national significance as the site of the first Shaker community in the U.S.,” said Jay DiLorenzo, president of the Preservation League. “In many other places, this collection of historic Shaker buildings would be celebrated, restored, and interpreted. We’re planning to work with the Shaker Heritage Society, the Town of Colonie and Albany County to highlight the importance of these buildings and to suggest appropriate preservation solutions.”
While the entire historic district has about 20 buildings built by the Shakers, most of them are in private hands and the historic society respects a landowner’s rights to do with their land as they choose, D’Angelo said.
Still, if they are demolished they can never be replaced and significant piece of Capital District history goes with it.
“Some of the important buildings within the Shaker district are vacant and deteriorating rapidly, while some others are in danger of being blocked by large encroaching development projects or demolished all together,” said the Preservation League in a statement designating the site as one of its Seven to Save
The best known Shaker plot of land, though, is owned by Albany County and has been since the last Shakers left the Capital District in 1925. Known as the Church Family property, it is home to Ann Lee Pond, a huge barn, a number of outbuildings and the storied 1848 meeting house which is the last large-scale Shaker meeting house left standing with an intact interior, D’Angelo said. Right now, the society leases the land and many of the buildings from the county but would like to see that extended.
The meeting house was where the Shakers held Mass, and the building is designed to welcome outsiders to the services as a way to potentially recruit them into the religion. Rather than the building acting as a gateway into the Shaker religion and culture, D’Angelo and the Preservation League, think the entire property can be a gateway from the airport into other historical sites and landmarks around the Capital District and beyond.
“The area is a natural gateway to regional attractions, especially shopping and lodging and other commercial features,” according to the Preservation League’s statement in designating the site one of Seven to Save. “There is still nine years
left on the existing lease, but the historical society wants to re-new that for another 30 to 50 years to make it easier to get loans and grants for the much needed work on the mostly vacant buildings. Without that, banks and those charged with handing out grants, are reluctant to give or lend money to someone who might not be there through the life of the issuance.
Over the last 19 years or so, D’Angelo said, the society has spent some $2 million on improvements to the Church Family property buildings, including new roofs on the huge, 1915 barn complex and most of the smaller buildings. But, she said, so much more could be done with a long term lease in place.
County Executive Dan McCoy, in a statement, said he is in favor of extending the lease and it’s in the Legislature’s hands. In the past, legislative leadership has taken a conservative stance to any long term commitments. But, there was a major shake-up at the top of the legislative food chain with the ouster of longtime Majority Leader Frank Commisso and a shift in power from that office to that of the chairman, who is now Legislator Andrew Joyce.
Joyce’s office did not respond for comment by press time.
“We think the Church Family property is an important asset for the community because it is a natural gateway to regional attractions. We are literally a five minute walk from the airport terminal,” D’Angelo said. “As such, with this location we have here we think we are positioned to draw attention to the attractions throughout the region including the other two Shaker museums that are fairly nearby and all the cultural attractions in downtown Albany as well as agritourism.”
The Preservation League picks seven historic buildings and/or properties from across the state that, for whatever reason — or for a variety of reasons — run a higher than average risk of demolition and/or redevelopment.
The seven chosen this year are in danger of “disappearing because of vacancy, disinvestment and lack of public awareness,” according to the non-profit, advocacy group.
The other six properties chosen this year are the South End-Groesbeckville National Register Historic District in Albany, the Haglund Building in Chautauqua County, Wells Barns in Monroe and Livingston counties, the Enlarged Erie Canal Schoharie Aqueduct in Montgomery County, the Lehigh Valley Railroad Roundhouse and related structures in Ontario County and historic opera houses across the state.
“The Seven to Save designation is important because it will bring attention to the work we are trying to do here,” D’Angelo said. “There is no question we need help to make this happen.”
A holy dichotomy
During their heyday in the 1850s, when there were some 300 Shakers in what was then called Watervliet, the Shakers were seen as outcasts, and often ostracized by main stream society.
At the same time, the population at large took advantage of Shaker ingenuity, such as the flat broom, farming expertise and furniture making skills. The Shakers sold their wares locally, and to merchants taking advantage of the Erie Canal.
Their society is described as monastic, but they could also be called the earliest progressives. They welcomed all ethnicities into their mix, were part of the Underground Railroad, and at the core of their faith is the belief God is both male and female.
They practice celibacy, yet one of its founders, the iconic Ann Lee, who is buried in a Heritage Lane cemetery, had four children.
They lived in a communal setting, yet they took advantage of the latest technologies such as new sewing machines, and their contribution at the time was developing the first commercial washing machine.
There are still two Shakers left today and they live in Maine. People are welcome to join the faith but D’Angelo said the time of the Shakers, is still historically significant, their culture is one we can learn from in the decision we make today.
“The people who joined the Shaker community took a different path,” she said. “They did not take the established road right in front of them, they did something radically different. These were people who were constantly bucking against social norms and coming up with their own ideas on how to create a meaningful life. It’s a wonderful model to look at and prod us to think about decisions we are making too.”

SUGAR metabolomics dataset
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) leads to decreased sensitivity to the metabolic effects of insulin. We examined the plasma metabolome in 95 adults without diabetes in the fasted state (58 with moderate-severe CKD, 37 with normal glomerular filtration rate) of whom 60 had plasma collected during a hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp (40 with CKD). We assessed heterogeneity in the response to insulin to identify potential cellular metabolic pathways linking CKD with insulin resistance. In the fasting state, differences between CKD and control subjects included significant abnormalities in tryptophan metabolism, ubiquinone biosynthesis, and the TCA cycle. Insulin infusion markedly decreased plasma metabolite levels, predominantly amino acids and their metabolites. CKD was associated with attenuated insulin-induced changes in nicotinamide, arachidonic acid, and glutamine/glutamate metabolic pathways. These findings suggest that broad disruption in amino acid metabolism and mitochondrial function as putative mechanisms or manifestations of the impaired anabolic effects of insulin in CKD.
Steps to reproduce
Since metabolite distributions were greatly skewed, all plasma metabolite concentrations were transformed by log(1+x) prior to performing statistical analysis. To compare the fold changes in metabolite levels between CKD and non-CKD participants, we used linear regression with robust Huber-White standard errors of the log-transformed metabolite on CKD status, additionally adjusted for the potential confounders of age, sex, race/ethnicity (white versus non-white) and weight. To account for the correlation of measurements within participants, we examined the fold changes associated with the clamp procedure via a linear mixed model with random intercepts, regressing the log-transformed metabolite on the sample type (during clamp versus fasting sample), adjusted for the covariates listed above, as well as batch. Finally, to evaluate whether the effect of the hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp procedure differed between CKD and non-CKD participants, we again used a linear mixed model approach with random intercepts, in which the log-transformed metabolite was regressed on sample type (clamp versus fasting), CKD status (CKD versus non-CKD) and the interaction of the two, additionally adjusting for age, sex, race/ethnicity, weight, and batch. To account for multiple comparisons, in each analysis we used a Benjamini-Hochberg false discovery rate of 10% to declare statistical significance. Under this approach, 10% of the metabolites identified as significant would be expected to be false positives. All of the statistical analyses described above were conducted using R, version 3.4.050. Targeted metabolic pathway analysis was performed using Metaboanalyst version 3.551. Pathway topology analysis was performed analyzing differences in fasting plasma metabolite between CKD and controls. Fold change analysis of discrete metabolites was performed using Metaboanalyst software to calculate the absolute value change between fasting and during insulin infusion plasma metabolites group averages for the entire cohort which was used to construct a volcano plot. Using pathway topology analysis, we identified significant metabolic pathways affected by insulin infusion using log transformed pre- and during infusion metabolite levels. Determination of significant metabolic pathways modified by CKD status involved comparing the fold change of each metabolite calculated by subtracting log-transformed values of during clamp from the pre-clamp time points. Data is presented for hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp-induced plasma changes in the overall cohort and comparing CKD to non-CKD.

The first of three long-awaited closings on the National Lead Industries property in Sayreville occurred today, producing a collective sigh of relief from the owner, redeveloper and officials, who worked for more than a year on the complex agreement.
For years, officials said redevelopment of the 400-acre waterfront parcel is a key to the revitalization of Sayreville -- a 16-square mile, blue-collar borough in Middlesex County. County Counsel Thomas Kelso said the closing documents were signed and all the funds were wired into an escrow account late this afternoon.
The county played a major role in the transaction since it was Sayreville's financial backer, providing $39 million when the borough and went to court to condemn the land years ago.
Kelso said the county will be repaid $32 million from the closing as O'Neill Properties of Pennsylvania takes over most of the property today. Within the next 30 months, the redeveloper will acquire the rest of the land in two later closings. National Lead will be paid a total of $82.7 million for its land, officials said.
O'Neill's initial proposal for the land calls for creating tree-lined streets, outdoor restaurants, a waterfront promenade, 84 marina slips, a hotel, 3 million square feet of retail space and 2,000 housing units.
National Lead had operated a paint manufacturing plant on the site until about 30 years ago. The agreement frees the firm from its obligation to clean up the uplands portion of the tract. It is still responsible, however, for removing pollution from Raritan River sediment. Kelso said O'Neill also would spend $20 million on cleanup.

It’s difficult to take Steven Soderbergh seriously when he says that he is retiring from making films. Side Effects is his 10th movie since 2006, an absolutely phenomenal rate of production, and his last 4 films have represented perhaps his most consistent string of films in his career with each of Contagion, Haywire, Magic Mike and Side Effects (review spoiler) being excellent films. It’s certainly a string to rival Out of Sight, The Limey, Erin Brockovich, Traffic and Ocean’s Eleven. It’s difficult to see someone who has been making so many films, and films of such a high quality, would be able to just give it up cold turkey. But if he has, Side Effects is another similarly good film and one which sits well within his back catalogue.
As for how good Side Effects actually is, I’m finding it difficult to decide. It’s a film dealing with mental illness that is, itself, a little schizophrenic. As seen in the trailer at the foot of this page, the film is being sold (in the UK at least) as an indictment of Big Pharma – the pharmaceutical industry – with a patient (Rooney Mara) being prescribed a new-to-market anti-depressant, Ablixa, for her depression. The side effects of the drug are causing ever-worsening symptoms which slowly turn her more crazy. This is an interesting and important story, bearing in mind the secrecy that surrounds many drug companies and their clinical trials (sometimes for good reasons, sometimes for bad). However, if you’re looking for answers, you have come to the wrong place (you should really check out Dr Ben Goldacre’s book Bad Pharma).
Now, at around the halfway point the movie changes tack, and I found it just a little jarring. It’s also at this point that you may want to step out as, while the spoilers will be minimal and certainly won’t give the end away, there will be spoilers from here on in… Instead of following the course laid out in the first half, the film becomes a more traditional thriller, recalling Primal Fear (though my memory of that film is hazy). I’ve heard it suggested that the change is subtle and you slowly come to the realisation of what the story has done, but I was very aware that it was moving away from its starting point. But that doesn’t necessarily need to be a bad thing.
I admit that I felt some pangs of disappointment when I realised what was going on but I’m not sure that’s entirely the film’s fault, what with the advertising campaign raising expectations in a certain direction. Would my interpretation of the opening half have been different if I didn’t think the film was heading in a specific direction? It’s difficult to say and as such, I don’t want to punish the film for that. In fact, it’s difficult to know how the film should have been marketed. If you go in believing it to be the kind of thriller it turns into, perhaps the plot will unravel, become obvious. What should be said is that it is a good film. It’s very well made and, more specifically, very well acted. Jude Law, no longer the heart-throb he was 10 years ago, is adapting to playing some great character roles, of which this is one, while Rooney Mara is proving herself to be a brilliant young talent with a performance which truly announces her skills and range.
Ultimately, Side Effects is a film that will keep you engaged (and entertained) throughout and is well worth a watch, even if it doesn’t quite attain the heights that it at times promises.

Feathers, Art Deco, and Crystals. Oh my!
Okay, so admittedly some of this will be old news for some of you. However, almost immediately after I made my last post, a wave of inspiration hit me like a speeding semi. I swear, I fell over and everything. Anyway, a few Etsy supply searches, sketches, and aha moments later/after that, I had a clear idea of what I needed to do. Overall, the aesthetic will be very light/feathery and ethereal mixed with a few strong art deco-y pieces. The color palette will still be whites, off whites, and various pastels. For the art deco pieces, I'll make these! I did a few spiral shapes and descending tier drawings that I think will look stellar as earrings and necklaces, respectively. So, the pieces I'll be focusing on are lace and feather headbands, lightweight yet big earrings with lotsa bling (feathers, nouveau/baroque shapes, and probably one art deco spiral pair), ladylike cuffs (maybe reusing some appliques-may need help on this one), and bold bib necklaces.
This week, I'll be focusing on a mini-overhaul of my Etsy shop as well as trying out a few new things to make my blog and shop more fun and interactive for anyone who keeps up with my jewelry. I've been told people read my blog, but it's one of those things that I'm never really sure of. Anyhow, I think I'll start working on the line and ordering supplies once I see the bad news of this month's credit card bill. I'd hate to spend money that I only think I have. Money aside, I'm happy to say I feel like I really milked that spurt of inspiration I had last week. I'm already thinking about a new mini "line" (I can never get used to calling it that, honestly) to do after I wrap this one up. It will be a little more true to fall fashion in style and colors. The solid ideas definitely aren't there yet, but the gears upstairs are turning.
I'm thinking this new line will consist of bold fuschias, cobalt blues, and chartreuse hues and will be inspired by a very glamorous night life that yours truly definitely doesn't have. Stylistically, it'll be poppy (but in good DGAJ taste) and will include lots of spheres, lucite pendants, and the like. I promise it won't be anything too obnoxious, by my standards at least. I've already got a playlist going to be paired with it- I mean, if you're going to have a night life theme, you've got to have music, right? I am my father's daughter (for anyone who doesn't know my dad, he loves all things super-themey even if it's way too much).
The good fortune Friday, I'm happy to say, also bled over into the music sector of the AJ realm. Definitely always a good thing. I've been editing old songs I wrote, adding on to newer songs, experimenting with sounds a little more, etc, etc. I also twisted Claire's (awesome friend from high school, she was in band with me) arm to lay down some drum tracks for me (Thanks, Claire!). Now if I could just get that process to go a little faster, *says in a Lumberg voice* that would be greeeeat.
Action Jackson out!


The Tesla Cybertruck’s launch has been delayed.
Three-motor Model S Plaid and Model X Plaid produce 1,020 horsepower.
Minor changes for Model 3 and Model Y.
A day doesn’t go by without the media talking about Tesla, and its market value keeps climbing as the company is expanding across the planet. This despite a small lineup of only four vehicles at the moment.
After dominating and revolutionizing the electric vehicle market for the past decade, Tesla will soon start to feel the heat as major automakers are deploying their EV offensive. Here’s what to expect from the Tesla brand in 2022.
The Tesla Model Y lineup currently consists of dual-motor AWD Long Range (330-mile/531-km range) and Performance (303-mile/488-km range) variants, meaning the rear-wheel-drive Standard Range variant (244-mile/393-km range) edition is no longer available. New paint colors are offered, while passenger-seat lumbar adjustment has been taken out, as has some USB-C ports and wireless phone charging. Blame the microchip shortage for these deletions. Other changes include new processors, li-ion batteries, a new cabin radar as well as updated UI and mobile apps, while a recent over-the-air update reportedly reportedly added tire wear monitoring to all Tesla models.
The Tesla Model 3 sedan received some enhancements for 2021, so changes for 2022 aren’t all that significant. The lineup includes the RWD Standard Range (272-mile/438-km range) as well as the dual-motor AWD Long Range (358-mile/576-km range) and Performance (315-mile/507-km range). In Canada, the Model 3 Standard Range with its electronically limited range of 151 kilometres is no longer available, which means the Model 3 is no longer eligible for the federal government’s iZEV rebate.
The Tesla Model X is available with a choice of five-, six- and seven-seat interior layouts. The standard dual-motor AWD variant boasts a driving range of 348 miles or 560 km, while the new tri-motor, 1,020-horsepower Plaid—which replaces the Performance—can blast from 0 to 60 mph in as little as 2.5 seconds and has a range of 333 miles or 536 km. The Model X Plaid is equipped with a yoke-like steering wheel and gets an updated on-board computer.
Introduced for the 2012 model year, the ground-breaking Tesla Model S is getting up there in age, but the company isn’t neglecting the big hatchback sedan whatsoever. The most recent Model S portfolio consists of the standard dual-motor AWD variant (405-mile/652-km range) and the new tri-motor, 1,020-hp Plaid (396-mile/637-km range). Tesla claims the Model S Plaid can hit 60 mph in 1.99 seconds.
The Tesla Cybertruck is still in development, after being unveiled to the world in November 2019. Production was initially scheduled to begin in late 2021 or early 2022, but that has been pushed back to the end of 2022 at best. The Cybertruck will offer dual-motor AWD and tri-motor AWD powertrains at launch, with a single-motor, RWD variant to arrive afterwards.
As for the second-generation Tesla Roadster, which made its debut back in 2017, its future is unclear. The company announced that its release would be delayed, and the Cybertruck will most likely hit the market beforehand. The 2+2 Roadster is said to pack three motors and AWD, 7,376 pound-feet of wheel torque, a 0-to-60 mph time of 1.9 seconds, a 200-kWh battery pack (that’s twice as big as the largest batteries in the Model S/Model X) and a driving range of 620 miles or 1,000 kilometres. The Roadster will cost $200,000 USD, while the limited-run Founders Series will cost $250,000 USD.

A Guide to Winter Squash
As the weather turns cooler, winter squash is ready for harvest. Hearty and delicous, winter squash is perfect for a variety of fall meals.
The red kuri squash has a very rich, sweet flavor that almost has a spiciness to its taste. Although not as thick in texture as the kabocha, it still holds together well and is excellent either baked either whole or split.
Red Kuri squash is delicious when stuffed with lemony white beans, cooked greens and fresh herbs.
The slightly dry, orange colored flesh of the acorn squash have a definite nut-like flavor. Their large seed cavities are perfect for stuffing, and they are best when baked.
Roast in halves and fill the cavities with homemade mac and cheese for a hearty weeknight dinner.
The flesh of the butternut squash is a deep orange color, with a distinctive butterscotch flavor that most people find delicious. They are quite tasty either steamed or baked! The smaller squash tend to be the sweetest.
Roast and add maple syrup or brown sugar for a sweet side dish.
The delicata squash has a moist, creamy yellow flesh that tastes and smells like a blend of corn, butternut squash and sweet potato. It is often referred to as the sweet potato squash. They are best eaten when steamed or baked.
Slice, roast and top with goat cheese. The skin is edible!
Although often used as a gourd for decoration purposes, the turban squash is very edible. Its orange-yellowish flesh is very sweet with a hazelnut-like flavor that most people find very delicious. Its texture is dry.
Cut it in half horizontally, and roast it open faced. Stuff the squash with curried rice and vegetables and serve with the halves together to impress your guests.
Although it looks quite different from the butternut squash the buttercup has a very creamy, orange colored flesh much like that of the butternut. Its flavor is not as rich, but is still quite sweet.
Buttercup Squash is delicious when diced and mixed with a tart cooking apple. Season with brown sugar, nutmeg and lemon juice and bake at 400 degrees until squash is tender, stirring occasionally.
Once cooked, the creamy golden flesh separates into miles of swirly, crisp-tender, spaghetti-like strands. The taste by itself is rather bland, but used as a pasta substitute with your favorite sauce and this squash comes to life, with far fewer calories than pasta as well!
Cut in half and roast, then scoop out the flesh and mix with pesto and walnuts.
Find all of these varieties and more at our store! We are proud to carry local, organic winter squash freshly delivered from Featherstone Farm in Rushford, MN (132 food miles from farm to store.)

Steubenville, Ohio is located along the Ohio River in Jefferson County, Ohio It is the county seat of Jefferson County and is largely considered part of the Pittsburgh Tri-State area, unofficially as a suburb despite its own individual identity. It is also a principal city of the Weirton-Steubenville, WV-OH Metropolitan Statistical Area. As of the 2000 census, the city population was 19,329. Steubenville is called the City of Murals because of over 25 murals in the downtown area, and is the home of Franciscan University, Jefferson Community College, Old Fort Steuben, and the Creegan Animation Factory.
Steubenville was platted as a town in 1797, immediately after the creation of Jefferson County. It was built on the site of Fort Steuben which was erected in 1786-1787 and named in honor of Baron Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben. Steubenville received a city charter in 1851. The city was also a stop along the Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Chicago, and St. Louis Railrod that connected Pittsburgh to Chicago and St. Louis. Bezaliel (Bezaleel) Wells and James Ross were the founders of the city. Wells, a government surveyor born in Baltimore, received about a thousand acres of land west of the Ohio River, and Ross, a lawyer from Pittsburgh, owned acreage north of his. The two men were responsible for the layout of the city.


Can someone help & identify an issue on my six years old Vaillant boiler. The boiler worked quite well until warrantee ran out. Few days before, after turning off the heating I have observed that boiler is dripping constantly underneath. For getting the desired hot water, I have to top up the boiler’s pressure. The leak would rarely stops for few hours & afterwards again same issue. Should I replace the boiler?
Thanks for your suggestions
I think the joint has become a little loose from a cooling cycle and heating. You have to put the leak pan under the dripping range (the leaks would evaporate rapidly), then whenever you shut it down always go through the different joints/connections in a range with wrenches for finding the unfastened joint.

Let me tell you, Zika fever has definitely arrived in Charlotte as I suspect it has in most of the US, No, not the disease, but a fever pitch of concern among couples of reproductive age. Mosquito born and potentially devastating for unborn babies, Zika could be a serious threat to our unborn. There is an uneasiness that you can feel among the 20 and 30 somethings. Like a first trimester pregnant young mom who recently asked me about what precautions she should be taking with regards to mosquitos, or the worried parents who are asking about whether they should go on international travel trips and risk a Zika infection, or a family with a child who has severe neurologic problems who asked me was she responsible for her child’s problems by taking a vacation to the Caribbean when she was 18 weeks pregnant. In other words, there is fever pitch of concern about Zika, so in today’s podcast, I thought it is time for you to learn what we know to date about this emerging disease.
Essential Knowledge About Zika
1.Here are the salient points you need to know:
Zika is a serious concern during pregnancy. That fact has been established. The CDC has confirmed a strong association of Zika infection during pregnancy and microcephaly as well as other birth brain defects.
Zika has the potential to be a very serious health problem for the unborn but not so much for older individuals. It is actually a mild disease in children and adults.
Experts think that even in Brazil, only a very small percentage of pregnant women will have a Zika infection during their pregnancies <1%. In other words, pregnancy is common but congenital Zika is not.
To date, Zika has been a very rare disease in US. Of the 358 confirmed cases diagnosed in the US, 351 have traveled of these people have traveled to endemic areas.
While we have the specific variety of mosquito that carries Zika, our domestic mosquitos, to date, don’t seem to be have become infected.
Currently, people seem to only be getting infected from travel to South America, Central America, and Puerto Rico and Caribbean. So far, so good but mosquito season is coming.
To date, the only certain method of diagnosis is with blood tests that continue to improve at a rapid pace.
And finally, as of today, there is no vaccine or treatment of a Zika infection.
- So your pregnant or thinking of becoming pregnant–what do you need to do? Here is what experts recommend:
Don’t travel to endemic areas if at all possible and be careful if you have intimate contact with someone who does travel to these areas, especially if they have been sick.
If, and this is a big if, if Zika starts to infect domestic mosquitos, avoidance of mosquito bites becomes your best defense- See CDC recommendations about that. Their recommendations consist mainly of wearing long clothes, avoiding mosquito exposure, and the use of repellants and screens including mosquito nets for sleeping.
Avoid the outdoors during mosquito biting season.
That camping trip you had your heart on, maybe not.
Planning a trip to Brazil for the Olympics, watch it on TV.
If you are pregnant and have Zika symptoms, fever, rash, joint aches, red eyes and headache–talk to your doctor. Testing is available and might be very helpful.
As always, thanks for joining me today for this important pedcast. If you have questions or comments, feel free to write your comments on my blog or on social media. I do my best at responding to all comments. this is Doc Smo, until next time.

Pathology: Early Diagnosis – Uncovering the Benefits.
As a pet owner, it’s important to keep your furry friend healthy and happy. While regular check-ups are essential for catching any potential problems, early diagnosis of potential illnesses or diseases is key in ensuring the best outcome. Pet pathology early diagnosis has become a popular and reliable tool for discovering underlying issues. By uncovering these issues in the earliest stages, owners can make sure their pets get the proper treatments they need to stay healthy and active.
Pet pathology is a growing field of veterinary medicine and has the potential to bring great benefit to both animals and their owners. Through advancements in diagnostic technology and techniques, we are now able to detect pathologies earlier than ever before. Early diagnosis allows for immediate treatment, resulting in improved outcomes for pets and more cost-effective solutions for their owners. This article will discuss the benefits of pet pathology early diagnosis, including increased accuracy, quicker interventions and improved patient outcomes.
Developing a Treatment Plan
As a pet owner, it is important to have a clear understanding of the treatment plan for your beloved companion. In Australia, vets play an integral part in the health and wellbeing of our dogs and cats. It is essential that pet owners understand what kind of care their furry friends need from their vet visits.
Vet visits are recommended at least twice yearly, or more often if required due to specific health concerns. During these visits, vets will provide preventative treatments such as vaccinations, flea and worm control, as well as checking your pet’s overall health. Your vet may also conduct diagnostic tests such as blood tests and x-rays in order to identify any medical conditions or potential issues before they become serious problems.
Australia’s veterinary professionals are leading the way when it comes to developing innovative treatments for pet pathology. With a goal of providing the most effective evidence-based treatments for dogs and cats, the vets are constantly researching new methods to diagnose and treat animal diseases or conditions.
A treatment plan is an essential part of any pet pathology diagnosis and helps guide practitioners through the process of devising a plan that best suits the animal’s needs. Generally, this involves developing an individualised program that includes steps such as determining the cause of the condition, identifying potential treatments, evaluating risks or benefits associated with those treatments, and monitoring progress throughout treatment. This process is unique to each individual case depending on factors such as age, breed, lifestyle and overall health status.
Nutrition and Exercise: Improving Pet Health Outcomes.
Vets have long suggested that proper nutrition and exercise can play a significant role in improving pet health outcomes. Studies show that diet is one of the most influential factors in cats’ and dogs’ longevity and overall health. While owners are advised to select high-quality food for their pets, equally important is providing appropriate amounts of physical activity.
It has been established that regular exercise helps maintain healthy body weight and reduce the risk of obesity-related diseases such as diabetes, arthritis, heart disease, respiratory problems, joint issues and a number of other ailments. Additionally, exercise can help improve cognitive development in puppies and kittens as well as decrease stress levels among older pets. When determining their pet’s fitness program, it is critical for owners to consider breed characteristics like size, age, and current condition.
It is recommended that all pets should have balanced diets and regular exercise to maintain healthy weight, improve immunity, and reduce the risk of chronic diseases like diabetes and kidney disease.
Proper nutrition is especially important since it provides essential vitamins, minerals, proteins, carbohydrates and fats which help to boost overall pet health. Similarly, regular physical activity can help keep joints strong by increasing muscle tone as well as reducing stress levels which can lead to behavioural problems. Exercise also helps strengthen bones and improves heart function in both cats and dogs.
Nutrition and Exercise
Common pet pathologies such as respiratory infections and skin allergies among dogs & cats can be treated by a licensed Australian veterinarian.
Treatment for these ailments requires more than just administering antibiotics or topical treatments; it also involves understanding the underlying pathology of the condition and its contributing factors. Veterinarians in Australia are educated to diagnose, monitor and treat such conditions through physical examinations, laboratory tests and other diagnostic procedures. Depending on the severity of the case they may recommend lifestyle changes or specific dietary requirements as well as medication or surgery.
Common pet pathologies that can be managed by an Australia vet include infections (respiratory, urinary tract), joint problems (osteoarthritis), skin diseases (allergies, dermatitis) and behavioural issues (anxiety). The most common pet pathologies can range from minor issues such as skin allergies or ear infections to more serious conditions like cancer or heart disease. It’s essential for owners to seek professional advice from their local Australian vet to ensure accurate diagnosis and proper treatment of their beloved animals.
For example, many skin allergies can be managed through regular bathing with soothing shampoos or dietary changes. Other ailments, such as arthritis and hip dysplasia, may require specific medications or even surgery in some cases.
Managing Chronic Pet Illnesses
Veterinary care is an essential part of this process, as Australian vets have access to cutting edge medical treatments and technologies that can help keep cats and dogs healthy.
For pets suffering from chronic conditions such as diabetes, kidney disease and arthritis, ongoing veterinary care is critical for maintaining quality of life and preventing further complications. A vet will be able to monitor the pet’s condition on a regular basis, advise on relevant lifestyle modifications for the pet and provide appropriate medications or treatments if needed. In some cases, surgery may even be recommended to help manage certain diseases more effectively.
If your pet has been diagnosed with a chronic illness, it’s important to work closely with your Australia vet to ensure they receive ongoing support throughout their treatment.

This is the downstairs bathroom in our rental house as it looked when we moved in. It was one of the rooms I pondered about most as there is obviously no changing almond bisque porcelain out for white or replacing a bath cabinet very easily .
So after I pondered and pondered and pondered some more, I came up with a plan.
Just embrace it.
I felt that the dark sink cabinet just weighed down the tiny room so I had Patricia Banner at Cottage by Design make a lovely skirt for it. She sent me swatches of various linen colors and I chose a light sage green. It makes an enormous difference and really softens the room. Thank you Patricia!
The other change is the faucet. The old one was peeling (that's the line I started with when I told Mike I wanted to replace it) and was of course, just plain unattractive. I found an affordable chrome one at Home Depot.
I opted to switch out the oak toilet seat for an almond bisque one (this is me embracing it). This immediately streamlined the loo area and made the almond bisque seem much more white than beige.
The dark cabinet on the wall was an easy removal. I replaced it with the old Louis Phillipe-style mirror that was over our guest house fireplace. I had higher hopes for this mirror as I absolutely love it but I couldn't deny that it made a huge improvement in this little room. So over the loo it went.
My mom arrives tomorrow so our house is giddy with excitement!
Enjoy your wonderful spring week!
