For Dog Owners
As dog sizes are different according to their breeds, the table below is for reference only.
|Human Years||20lbs or below
|90lbs or above|
Weakened Respiratory System, Heart and Lung Function
Even though there is no intense exercise, dogs still often have coughing, difficulty in breathing, abnormal heart rate as well as tiredness and fatigue.
Weakened Immunity System
Dogs become prone to illnesses, cancer and liver failure. Their skin is also susceptible to bacterial infection. It may also take longer time to recover from wounds and diseases.
Excessive Hair Loss and Dull Hair
Slow metabolism leads to difficulties for nutrition to reach the skin, causing dogs’ hair getting dry and dull, particularly on beard or top of the head. Their skin also becomes dry, excessive hair loss may also be resulted.
Suffering from Ankylosis, Movements Slow Down
Recession of muscle and joint strength lower dogs’ activity level. They easily feel exhausted which discourages them to move around. Lost in orientation while walking may be observed.
Diminished Sight and Hearing, Shedding of Teeth
Eyesight gradually diminishes, dogs often walk unsteadily or knock against obstacles. They may have bad breath and suffer from gum disease.
Incontinence, Frequent Urination or Difficulty in Urination
Dogs’ kidney is smaller than ours, so it is prone to diseases while aging e.g. cystitis, urethritis, urolith, Lower Urinary Tract Disorder and constipation.
Change of Habits
Wake up during midnight, barking with no reasons, breathe deeply, feel anxious, always rotate with themselves are some examples. Impatience with new environments or strangers may be observed as well.
Dogs with cataract have their eyes covered with bluish-grey haze. Their lens becomes cloudy and if the situation worsens, they will develop uveitis which can cause eye redness, pain and photophobia (light sensitivity).
Dogs with diabetes have diminished pancreatic functions which can cause reduced insulin secretion and rise in blood glucose level. Early signs of diabetes include increased thirst and frequent urination. Weight loss is resulted from a long-term condition of thirst, especially for obese dogs. They will become thinner suffering from diabetes.
Aging of senior dogs causes decline to their immunity. They are more susceptible to tumors. Mammary gland tumor, mast cell tumor, melanoma and lymph sarcoma are some common types of tumors found in senior dogs.
Chronic Nephritis is mainly caused by slight bacterial infection, causing normal kidney tissues being replaced by non-functional, damaged tissues. Dogs will then lose normal kidney tissues to perform the function of removing wastes. Metabolic wastes will then accumulate inside the body to a concentration high enough to cause nausea, vomiting, decreased appetite, tiredness, or even death in serious cases.
As areas for walking dogs in Hong Kong are limited and pet owners prefer to hold their pets with hands when they go out, dogs normally lack exercises. Moreover, pet owners feeding them with animal viscera or food with high cholesterol and energy can heighten the risk of pets suffering from cardiovascular diseases. Early signs of heart diseases for dogs can be easily neglected. As the disease progresses, signs including frequent coughing, difficult breathing, purple tongue, abdominal distention and pale gums will appear.
If dogs pant without being outside in hot weather or without exercise, they stand a high chance of suffering from respiratory diseases. The serious air pollution problem in Hong Kong and poor indoor ventilation can deteriorate chronic bronchitis of dogs. Moreover, pet owners in Hong Kong prefer keeping small dogs who have a greater chance to suffer from tracheal collapse. Meanwhile, Flat-faced dog is another popular option for pet owners. However, the breed is characterized with narrowed nostrils, overlong soft palate, everted laryngeal saccules and laryngeal collapse. These inherited characteristics can cause poor ventilation in their upper respiratory tract.

Cinco De Mayo Movies
Cinco de Mayo is a Mexican holiday, not an American one, although more Americans celebrate Cinco de Mayo in the USA, than Mexicans celebrate it in Mexico.
For Americans, Cinco de Mayo is an excuse to drink alcohol and eat starch, flavored with vegetable irritants.
Americans think Cinco de Mayo is Mexican Independence Day. No, for that is 16 September, which doesn't roll nearly so well off the tongue.
Cinco de Mayo commemorates Mexico fighting the French in 1862. France invaded Mexico because Mexico owed them a lot of money. Countries do that. It happened, and will happen again.
Cinco de Mayo celebrates an unlikely victory - that of the raggedy little Mexican Army over the big bad French Army (then the most powerful in the world), in Puebla, Mexico on May 5th 1862. (Not surprisingly, most Mexican celebration of this event occurs in that city of Puebla).
In 1860, Mexico had been waging what historians call "Too many wars." Mexicans fought the Americans in 1846-48, and each other in 1858 and 1860. As has happened, and will happen again, to countries waging too many wars, Mexico's treasury was empty, because war is expensive.
In July 1861, Mexican President Benito Juarez decreed a 2-year moratorium. Mexico would make no payments on its debts to Britain, Spain, and France. This created what historians call, "A tense situation," between Mexico, Britain, Spain, and France.
Britain and Spain reached diplomatic arrangements, (negotiation usually preferable to conflict), but France...
Napoleon III, The Emperor of France, sent 8000 crack troops landing in Veracruz, marching to Mexico City, to conquer Mexico for France. Napoleon wasn't kidding around.
Even so, Napoleon's crackerjacques French army of 8,000 soldiers ran into 4,000 determined defenders at the city of Puebla, who...beat 'em.
Unthinkable, but it happened. 5 May 1862, Battle of Puebla. Outnumbered and outgunned Mexican Army...beat the top-shape French Army. Celebrate! Victory!
Well...the victory didn't last long, because the French regrouped, and wiped out the Mexican Army a year later, establishing Emperor Maximilian I to rule Mexico. BUT...that's the Cinco de Mayo story.
Here are some movies with a Mexican flavor.
Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948)
Humphrey Bogart faces the Gold Hat Bandito, played by the unforgettable Alfonso Bedoya, in John Huston's classic film. Negotiation seems impossible.
Viva Max (1969)
Peter Ustinov takes over the Alamo. Jonathan Winters negotiates with him.
El Mariachi (1992)
Robert Rodriguez takes over Hollywood. Victory didn't last, but he had a great start. Negotiations continue...

Has anyone out there been paying any attention to what Uncle Harry has been saying about the good ship Chelsea?
Harry, probably a week or so ago, remarked ahead of bringing his Queens Park Rangers side to Stamford Bridge,
"Only a real dope could fail at Chelsea."
Well this Saturday, Harry`s Queens Park Rangers clash swords with his former club, Tottenham Hotspur and a certain Andre Villas-Boas.
But it seems that Andre Villas-Boas has taken exception to Harry`s remarks, coming up with his own gem of a quote, replying,
"You have to be able to manage the club first."
A very pertinent statement that many feel may have a degree of truth about it!

Nutritional status of preschool children in Anganwadi centers of ICDS projects in united Andhra Pradesh with AP food and local food models
Dr. K Uma Maheswari, K Rajeswari and G Anitha
The mean intake of all the foods and percent adequacy met by home diet was found to be inadequate in comparison with ICMR RDA among the preschool children of both A.P.F.M and L.F.M centers. However, the supplementary food supplied at Anganwadi centre bridged the deficit gap with regard to calories and more than 50% of proteins in the preschool children of both food models when compared with home diet. Except anemia and skin infections, significantly lower (p<0.05) prevalence of all symptoms of nutritional deficiencies and morbidities were observed in A.P.F.M children as compared to L.F.M children. The A.P Foods had better impact on the nutritional status of the preschool children as evinced by better acceptability, significantly higher anthropometric indices (as measured by height, weight and mid upper arm circumference), better food and nutrient intake and adequacies in comparison with RDA, lower incidence of nutritional deficiency symptoms and morbidities when compared with local food model. Nevertheless, there is a need for improvement of diet in terms of foods and nutrients to meet 1/3 rd requirement of RDA. The attentiveness to be given in meeting the vitamins and minerals requirements for preventing the deficiency problems and to promote health in the children.

I love the Mariners as much as anyone and really hope they have a fantastic season this year, but unlike some other fans and prognosticators, I’m not drinking the Kool-Aid. I’m not convinced the Mariners will improve on last year’s 85 wins, much less win the AL West.
Why not? Lack of offense. I don’t see them scoring enough runs, not with the current lineup. Casey Kotchman and Milton Bradley would be fine 6 & 7 hitters, but on this team they’re the 3 and 4 hitters, or maybe 4 & 5. That’s pretty scary.
That said, still very excited about opening day and tonight’s season opener. Go M’s!

University General Assembly 2
Cite as https://mymun.com/ppdb/8474
Delegate: Abigail Chen School: Cornell University, NY Country: Ireland Committee: University General Assembly 2 Topic: Improving the Coordination of Efforts against Trafficking in Person
The previous decades witnessed surges of human trafficking and forced labor worldwide, while in the past few years the link between the refugee and migration crisis and trafficking in persons is increasingly disclosed. Current ILO estimates indicate that 21 million people are subjected to forced labor, and recent UN reports contend that children and women remain the most vulnerable groups. This reality necessitates decisive, coherent affirmative actions that are tailored to national and regional specifics in order to address current inadequacies in combatting human trafficking. The vital General Assembly resolutions 63/194 of 18 December 2008, and 64/293 of 12 August 2010 laid out the comprehensive frameworks for states to implement the Trafficking in Persons Protocol. In addition, the creation of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) and the adoption of the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime have profoundly aided the implementation of Protocol-compliant actions. Recognizing the vast regional variations and geopolitical complexities involved in tackling human trafficking, it is vital to enhance coordinating efforts in the “4Ps”, namely Prosecution, Protection, Prevention and Partnership.

There have been many ideas about how to increase the energy yield of wind power facilities. Most solutions included pairing the wind turbines with solar cells (usually on onshore wind farms), or with wave energy conversion devices (usually at offshore wind facilities). How about pairing the wind turbines with a biogas powered air-compressor?
Hybrid Turbines has announced its SmartGen solution, a patent pending concept that involves the coupling of a wind turbine with a gas-burning turbine/compressor system. Basically, a gas powered turbine system produces energy which powers a turbo-compressor which sends compressed air up to the wind turbine. The pressurized air is then used to spin the wind turbine during low wind speeds. This effectivelly eliminates the intermittent nature of wind powered electrical generators, and since compressed air is used, the process is pretty safe (ex. no danger of fire, etc). Best of all, the additional module needed to allow this process to be used at a wind farm can be added to existing wind turbines on the market. Hybrid Turbines claims their solution is currently applicable to units with up to 4 MW of capacity, onshore or offshore.
Having a hybrid system like this significantly increases the amount of produced energy at a wind power facility. Even when natural gas is used, the environmental impact is about half of that produced by conventional fossil fuels such as coal.

Last night Nick and I went to the 3 Doors Down and Theory of a Deadman concert! It was so very fun!
I met up with Nick after work at Brio, our neighborhood Italian restaurant. Nick had been on a long bike ride earlier so he was in desperate need of some carbs. Pasta it was!
The concert was at The Hammerstein Ballroom. It was actually a really nice venue. It almost had a feel of where you would see a ballet... at least the design of the building was similar. We bought tickets late so we were in the general admission area (standing room only). Oh man, my feet were already tired from working.
The first intro band was Pop Evil. I've never heard of them before and probably won't listen to them again. Not my favorite.
Theory of a Deadman was really good. Nick and I didn't know too many of their songs but they played really well. And the lead singer was quite funny.
Then came the main act... 3 Doors Down. Loved them! This band goes back to when Nick and I first started dating. So a lot of the songs had special meaning for us. The acoustics were great, the lead singer was amazing, everything was just perfect.
Amazing Wednesday night!

Itchy skin can come from chronic dryness, allergies, or from a change in climate. It can also be hereditary or a reaction to detergent, soap, or another type of cleaning agent. Whatever the case, some of the most effective ways to treat dry itchy skin are also some of the most natural ways. (1)
Natural Remedies for Dry Itchy Skin
To heal itchy skin, go with a product (or two) that naturally contains detoxifying properties, cleansing properties, and moisturizing properties. Here are some of the best:
- Apple cider vinegar helps cleanse the area affected and combats yeast overgrowth such as dandruff or a lingering rash. To use it, pour the vinegar over a cloth and gently rub it over the skin several times a day. You can also use it after showering or bathing. Let it dry and follow with the clay patch below. (1)
- Bentonite clay is especially helpful to relieve itching and even acne due to the detoxifying properties it contains. It's particularly helpful for healing spider bites and bee stings. To use it, mix the clay with just enough water to make a paste and spread it on a bandage cloth large enough to wrap around the infected area. Leave the wrap on for 4 hours until the clay is completely hard before removing it. Do this several days in a row until the infected area or dry skin patch is gone. (1)
- Aloe Vera is a common ingredient used to treat mosquito bites, dry skin, and burns since the gel of the plant contains moisturizing and healing properties. To use aloe, break open a leaf and open it with a knife lengthwise from top to bottom. Using a cloth or your hand, scoop out the gel and rub it onto the skin. You may want to cover the area with a bandage cloth to prevent the gel from rubbing off. Leave it on overnight and then remove it the next morning. (1)
- Oatmeal contains special compounds that relieve inflammation and reduces dryness, redness, and even acne. Mix uncooked oatmeal in a bowl with just enough warm water to make a thick paste, and then puree it in the food processor to make it easier to spread like a mask. Apply it to the skin and let it sit until hardened and then wash it off with a cloth. (1)
- Coconut oil is a well-known remedy for quickly relieving dry skin and even chronic yeast overgrowth. Rub it directly onto the affected area until dissolved. Repeat daily. (2)
- Other solutions include castor oil and olive oil.
How About Commercial Products?
When treating itchy skin, be sure not to use chemically based commercial products, which can irritate the skin and leach toxic ingredients into the pores. Most commercial products just mask the symptoms, but never really take care of the problem at hand. In addition, be sure to use a natural soap when showering instead of body gels or soaps made with toxic chemicals and/or preservatives. (3)
Do you use any of these natural remedies in relieving dry skin?

The Big Data when analyzed with Business Intelligence tools deployed and serviced by the Cloud yields relevant and useful results.
Real-Time Analytics is a different ball game altogether! Using all available enterprise data and resources, as soon as required is Real-Time Analytics. It goes without saying that it consists of extremely dynamic analysis and reporting from the data captured through the various “things” of IoT.
Also known as Real-Time Data Analytics, Real-Time Data Integration or Real-Time Intelligence; Real-Time Analytics has varied applications and it really depends on the insight of the Enterprises to make the best of the data thus gathered, instantly analyzed and comprehended turning into useful information which would be only some seconds old!
Event Monitoring & Predictions Using Real-Time Analytics
Real-Time Analytics empowers Enterprises to monitor the on-goings and happenings as and when events happen. Gone are the days of database techniques that offered slow results which at times became irrelevant and unrealistic looking at the time elapsed when they are published.
Real-Time Analytics do things instantly giving chance to Enterprises to cohere and correct the ongoings.
The rising IoT array of devices on the premise or accessing the systems externally provides data in real-time. This real-time data, when collated with that coming from other integrated systems, offer valuable insight into the businesses – their operations and the predicted problems.
For example errors in production or decrease in sales can be pointed out to help the management take preventive actions, instantaneously.
Real-Time Analytics, when combined with IoT, enabled personal devices to have interesting applications too. Data from Health apps recording unusual results can be used put to use in Real-Time to predict serious illnesses like increasing blood pressure, heart attacks or even increase chances of terminal conditions.
The powers of Real-Time Analytics armed with data from IoT have endless possibilities from manufacturing errors, health warnings, weather predictions, tracking vehicles and more. It is really innovative idea that drives these technologies.
When data is to be collected and curated from such a huge set of “things” and processed continuously a robust infrastructure and software both are required.
Cloud platforms offer high-volume data processing at scale and generally at a fraction of the cost compared to traditional data analytics infrastructure solutions. A Cloud covers wide geographies too making them globally accessible. The high computing capacity required by this high volume input data and its storage is easily accessible through a Cloud without incurring high infrastructure costs. The pay as you go Cloud computing concept suits the huge and varying data workloads, where the Enterprises can scale up or down as per the demands. This elasticity enables the resizing of environments over the Cloud, especially because of the flexible architecture.
The Powerful Trio For Real-Time Analytics
The powerful three- Big Data, IoT and the Cloud give the much-needed thrust to Real-Time Analytics leveraging the data collected from the varied data points today. Using technology prudently for value addition in the way Enterprises work and the way we live is not only interesting, but it is also challenging as well. Leveraging niche techniques thus to complement each other makes them a powerful combination for practical use.
SPEC INDIA ensures that our teams are equipped and trained in the emerging technologies and using our knowledge and experience we offer solutions to enterprises implement these.

A new survey of over 350 Tesla car owners found that their vehicles’ batteries are lasting longer than expected.
The survey, commissioned by the Dutch-Belgium Tesla Motors Club, determined that Tesla cars saw battery capacity drop by only five percent after 50,000 miles (approximately 80,467 kilometres), while the rate of battery capacity decline slowed dramatically after this milestone.
Further, the majority of the Tesla electric vehicles examined in the survey demonstrated 90 percent battery capacity after 185,000 miles (approximately 297,728 kilometres), and at 500,000 miles (approximately 804,672 kilometres) most Teslas still had 80 percent of their battery capacity.
It’s worth noting that Tesla doesn’t note battery degradation performance for its Model S and Model X. That said, the company states that its Model 3 vehicles will retain 70 percent capacity after 120,000 miles (approximately 193,121 kilometres).
Based on the reports from the vehicle owners, it would appear that Tesla’s estimates are rather conservative.

A college class that teaches students how to cook, exercise and stay healthy and only meets three times a semester seems too good to be true.
However, starting this October, Maryland’s Hillel is sponsoring a three-part course called “Healthy Jewish Living.” The program’s three meetings, which consist of food learning, fitness learning and stress management learning, take place on North Campus, said Maiya Chard-Yaron, Hillel’s director of educational engagement.
The first ‘foodie’ session was on Oct. 24 in La Plata Hall, where students cooked a healthy, budget-friendly meal together and looked at some Jewish perspectives on food and mindful eating, Chard-Yaron said. She added that the program will meet for its “physical fitness session” in November and the “stress management” session in December right before final exams start.
“The hope is that this will turn into an ongoing educational initiative with Hillel,” said Chard-Yaron. She hopes to eventually expand the “Healthy Jewish Living” program to other parts of campus as well.
Hillel’s goal is to engage more students in its programs and organizations by introducing this course to Jewish students on campus.
“I think it would be interesting to learn about [healthy Jewish living],” said sophomore journalism major Matt Bylis. “I think it’d be cool to see how it compares with the way I was raised and the way my parents taught me how to take care of myself.” Bylis is not involved in any on-campus Jewish clubs or organizations, but feels that “Healthy Jewish Living” could definitely make him consider joining them if he likes the course and its members.
Amanda Nessel, a junior accounting major, said she would definitely attend the course’s meetings.
“It sounds like a very interesting class that could benefit me in the future. I know a lot about Judaism, but I have never learned about [those] topics in a Jewish context before,” said Nessel. As the social action Chair of the Jewish Student Union and a member of Hillel, Nessel is looking forward to hearing more about the class.
“I’m sure it will be successful,” said Nessel.
While some Jewish students are excited to attend the “Healthy Jewish Living” class’s sessions, students like Kaylin Bugos, a senior journalism and government and politics double major, may not be able to fit the class into their daily routines.
“I love that Hillel is offering [the class] and there is nobody better equipped to teach [it] than Maiya,” said Bugos. “I just don’t have time for [it]. Otherwise, I would probably consider it.” Bugos believes that “Healthy Jewish Living” will be a successful way to get students involved with Hillel.
“Jewish life on campus has so much to offer and has really defined my college experience…I think that anything that brings students into the larger Jewish community is a great idea,” said Bugos.
Students can RSVP to the event’s classes on Hillel’s Facebook page or by emailing Chard-Yaron.

The purpose of seating includes bringing people together for dining al fresco, gathering around a fire pit, or having a conversation. A bench or pair of chairs can also serve as a focal point or destination in the garden, sometimes more to draw the eye than the sitter. A well-placed bench can allow one to take in a view, admire the sunset or an area of the garden that is especially picturesque. Seating placed in a hidden nook can lead visitors to enjoy a special feeling of seclusion or a lovely moment of holding hands with one another. Two simple benches placed in such a spot, directly across from each other, invite two couples to share an intimate conversation, their knees almost touching.
|Lawrence K. Ho / Los Angeles Times|
Seating areas are another occasion to bring color and elements of style into the garden. An abundance of opportunities present themselves when we design and augment our gardens. We should never underestimate the effects an inspiring outdoor space can have on our psyches!
Planning a seating area is an opportunity to create a magical space where people want to be. Different forms of seating in various settings can influence what people actually do in the space, how they experience it, and what they see, smell, and hear. Senses come into play when we place a fountain near a seating area, or plant fragrant plants, or place seating in such a way to frame a pleasing view. Emotions and moods can even be affected. Finding oneself seated in a quiet nook, for instance, can be calming, and invite reflection or the revelation of secrets. Diversely, seated in front of an expansive view of the horizon, one can feel open and rejuvenated, able to breathe deeply and let small matters fall away, literally gaining a new perspective.

What is a fistula? Learn about fistula symptoms and types of fistulas.
JOIN OUR NEWSLETTER
from NAFC directly to you inbox
What Is A Fistula?
Fistula Definition: A fistula is an abnormal connection or passageway that connects two organs or vessels that do not usually connect. They can develop anywhere between an intestine and the skin, between the vagina and the rectum, and other places. The most common location for a fistula is around the anus.
TYPES OF FISTULAS:
ANAL FISTULAS/PERIANAL FISTULAS.
Abnormal connection between the epithelialized surface of the anal canal and the perianal skin.
- Anorectal Fistula occurs between the anal canal and the skin around the anal opening.
- Rectovaginal or Anovaginal Fistula occurs when a hole develops between the rectum or anus and the vagina.
- Colovaginal Fistula occurs between the colon and the vagina.
URINARY TRACT FISTULAS.
Abnormal openings within a urinary tract organ or an abnormal connection between a urinary tract organ and another organ.
- Vesicouterine fistula occurs between the bladder and the uterus.
- Vesicovaginal fistula is where a hole develops between the bladder and the vagina.
- Urethrovaginal fistula is between the urethra and the vagina.
- Enteroenteral fistula occurs between two parts of the intestine.
- Enterocutaneous or Colocutaneous fistula occurs between the small intestine and the skin or the colon and the skin respectively.
Left untreated, fistulas can be traumatic, debilitating, and can do additional harm to your body. Nerve damage, infection, and kidney failure are associated with fistulas.
HOW COMMON ARE FISTULAS?
The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that there are 50,000-100,000 new cases of fistulas every year. In places like Africa, obstetric fistulas are often left unaddressed due to lack of obstetric care. Thankfully in the United States, fistulas are often diagnosed early and cared for appropriately.
Prevention is the best treatment. Maintaining a good nutritional habit is a great way to maintain healthy tissue and to ward off fistulas. In addition, abstaining from smoking is important to promote fistula healing.
WHAT CAUSES A FISTULA?
In Africa, the most common cause of fistulas is childbirth and obstructed labor that is left unrelieved. While the incidence of fistulas due to complicated births is lower in the United States, other causes can create this troublesome condition.
Crohn’s disease and diverticular disease are well known to cause fistula formation. In addition, those who are undergoing radiation therapy are at greater risk for a variety of fistulas.
WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF FISTULAS?
Depending on the type of fistula, here are some telltale sign
- Constant urine leakage from the vagina
- Irritation in the external female genital organs
- Frequent urinary tract infections (UTIs)
- Leakage of gas and/or feces into the vagina
- Fluid drainage from the vagina
- Abdominal pain
If you have one or more of these symptoms, be sure to promptly discuss them with a healthcare provider.
FISTULA TREATMENT OPTIONS
For fistula repair, patients seek expert advice from gynecologists, urogynecologists, or colorectal surgeons. Following the diagnosis of a fistula, the medical professional will decide the best plan of treatment based on its location, size, and condition. One treatment path may simply be controlling symptoms with a catheter. More severe fistula repair may require surgery.
- Fibrin glue. A specific medicinal adhesive is used to seal fistulas.
- Plug. This is usually a collagen matrix used to fill the fistula.
- Catheters. Used to drain fistulas, catheters are usually employed on small fistulas to manage infection.
- Transabdominal surgery. The fistula is accessed through an abdominal wall incision.
- Laparoscopic surgery. This is a minimally invasive surgery that involves a tiny incision and the use of cameras and small tools to repair the fistula.
Antibiotics or other medication may also be used to treat any infection associated with the fistula. Yet there is no pharmaceutical solution to eradicate fistulas at this time.
While fistulas pose a serious threat to your body, high treatment success should encourage you or someone dealing with fistulas to seek immediate help.
Have you just been diagnosed with a fistula? You’re in the right spot! Fistulas sound scary at first, and can be very unpleasant to live

IT’S a splendid spring day in Connecticut’s horse country and James E. Sinclair, perhaps the best-known gold speculator of his era, is sitting before his trading terminal, contemplating the upward thrust of gold on his trader’s chart.
The sun, bursting through the bay windows, catches the glint of gold that is everywhere in Mr. Sinclair’s home office: on the coins near his computer, on his chunky Rolex watch, on the rings on three of his fingers, on the cuff links on his monogrammed shirt, and — could it be? — a hint of it in his one working eye.
“I love gold, O.K.?” he said, his voice rising in excitement. “Gold has made me wealthy. It feels nice. It’s exchangeable. It’s money.”
On his television set, which is tuned to CNBC, news breaks of a terrorist attack in Egypt, the price of oil pushes higher and traders continue to sell the dollar, which is approaching a one-year low against the euro.
With gold trading at $683.80 an ounce, a 25-year high, it’s a good time to be a gold bug like Mr. Sinclair, especially if, like him, you own a gold exploration company (his is in Tanzania) and were a buyer when the metal sank as low as $250 an ounce in 2001. Now Wall Street, traditionally a laggard when it comes to making the investment case for gold, has jumped on Mr. Sinclair’s bandwagon.
Investment banks like J. P. Morgan and Goldman Sachs are putting out bullish research notes, retail investors are heavy buyers through exchange-traded funds and hedge funds; and the trading desks of investment banks have been piling into the market, especially in the last week.
For Mr. Sinclair, who rode the last bull market in gold to its peak, in 1980, the surging price of his beloved metal is sending out clear signals that take him back to the 1970’s, when inflation, a weak dollar and an oil spike driven by turmoil in the Middle East propelled gold to a high of $875 an ounce, or more than $1,800 in current dollars after adjusting for inflation. His ultimate price target now is not far from that: $1,650 an ounce, assuming that things become really bad.
“Gold is a barometer of the common stock of a country, and right now gold is sniffing out weakness in the management of the United States as a business,” said Mr. Sinclair, 65, a lifelong Republican who twice voted for President Bush. “Iran is becoming a nuclear power. The chairman of the Federal Reserve is on a puppet string controlled by the White House, and there is no such thing as a strong-dollar policy when the dollar is heading south.”
For more than two decades, the apocalyptic lament of Mr. Sinclair and other gold bugs has been largely dismissed as the United States has experienced — aside from a few hiccups — a 25-year bull market in a range of assets, from stocks and bonds to real estate and art.
Sustained by a continuing flood of liquidity, these assets have continued their mighty climb, even as crucial gauges of economic health in the United States — the budget and current account deficits — have continued to worsen. But now, with gold making a run for $700, dedicated gold investors are getting a wider hearing.
THEIR passion notwithstanding, gold bugs tend to be small-time investors. Gold’s recent surge has instead been underpinned by a rush of mainstream investors, including hedge funds, commodity-based mutual funds and exchange-traded funds.
For these investors, gold is less a way of life than it is hedge against inflation and a prudent measure of diversification during an increasingly worrisome time. The extent to which this new wave of capital remains invested in gold will determine if the recent spike is just another anomaly or the onset of the second coming of the great gold bull market that the true believers have been calling for since the price of gold crashed a quarter-century ago.
Of course, many investors say that given gold’s sharp recent climb, a correction would not be surprising. It’s another asset bubble, they say, the latest investment fad. But for Mr. Sinclair and a small clutch of other self-exiled Wall Streeters, the metal’s recent climb is just deserts for their unwavering, if not mystical, devotion to gold as an investment, an adornment, a means of exchange and, more than anything else, a moral bulwark in a corrupting sea of paper money, credit and what they see as insidious financial instruments.
Mr. Sinclair, who in the 1970’s ran his own trading firm, achieved his renown by selling 900,000 ounces of gold at an average price 0f $810 in early 1980. That was when the metal was capping a decade-long bull market that commenced in 1971, when President Richard M. Nixon severed once and for all the dollar’s link to gold.
In addition to selling his hoard, Mr. Sinclair sold his trading business, took his total net gain of $18 million and retreated here to the Connecticut countryside where he built his own private Shangri-La. It is indeed, as Mr. Sinclair likes to call it, “the house that gold built.”
On the outskirts of Sharon, a village at the foot of the Berkshires, the sprawling 38-acre estate includes an indoor swimming pool and pistol range, horse stables and a specially equipped garage that once housed his collection of racing cars. It’s a lot of property for a solitary man — his wife of 40 years died in a car crash in India two years ago. Now, he uses his Web site (jsmineset.com), books, DVD lectures and cartoons that he commissions to proselytize about the virtues of gold and the depredations of central bankers.
“This will be my last great ride,” he said of the current spike in gold prices. “Everybody loves to be right.”
In Spain, they call the obsession of some people to dig large holes in the ground to search for the elusive ounce of gold “mal de piedra,” or the sickness of rocks — one way, perhaps, to describe the condition that affects Mr. Sinclair and his coterie of gold investors.
With their missionary zeal and weakness for conspiracy theories, gold lovers can seem a touch afflicted. They also collect and pass around offbeat, brain-teasing findings. One is that the dollar has lost 98 percent of its value since 1913, when the Federal Reserve System was established. Another is an assertion by the American Institute for Economic Research, an obscure research outfit in Great Barrington, Mass., that since 1945, inflation has eroded $15.8 trillion from the savings accounts of United States citizens.
Both findings underscore their benchmark precept: that a currency not tied to gold becomes debased when central banks print money and governments spend freely. Perhaps Alan Greenspan, who before his run as chairman of the Federal Reserve was highly regarded in gold-bug circles, captured this point best. “In the absence of the gold standard, there is no way to protect savings from confiscation through inflation,” he wrote in 1966, when he was an economic consultant. “Gold stands in the way of this insidious process.”
The great liquidity explosion that occurred under Mr. Greenspan has made him a turncoat in the eyes of the gold-bug crowd. But his successor, Ben S. Bernanke, or “Helicopter Ben” as they call him, inflames its passions all the more. To this group, Mr. Bernanke’s passing allusion — before he became Fed chairman — to a helicopter dropping money over a recession-bound economy confirmed its deepest fears that a monetary system not anchored by gold was essentially inflationary if not downright immoral.
All the same, most mainstream economists accept that a return to the gold standard and its restrictive covenants would be not only unfeasible but also deflationary. Gold bugs may cry, and be correct, about the creeping impact of inflation, but it is also true that the same climb in prices, aided by the great liquidity boom, has made some of them millionaires, as houses they bought for less than $100,000 in the 1960’s are now worth millions.
Like Mr. Sinclair, William J. Murphy III is also a Wall Street refugee. After a one-year stint in 1968 as a wide receiver for the New England Patriots, he began a career as a commodities trader, working for a number of firms, including Shearson and Drexel Burnham. Convinced that the price of gold was being suppressed by an unholy alliance between the central banks and major investment banks, he formed the Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee, known as GATA, that seeks to publicize facts and assertions that support his point, namely that the gold reserves in central banks are significantly overstated.
GATA for the most part is a one-man show — Mr. Murphy, dressed in his sweatsuit, perched in front of the computer in his home in suburban Dallas. With his excitable manner and his outré theories about gold, he is generally thought to exist on the outer fringe of the gold-bug movement.
Indeed, his central thesis — that Goldman Sachs and other banks have conspired to keep a cap on the price via short sales to back the government’s strong-dollar policy, especially while a former Goldman senior partner, Robert E. Rubin, was Treasury secretary in the late 1990’s — is far-fetched.
With the price of gold surging, Mr. Murphy is convinced that Goldman Sachs, J. P. Morgan and others are frantically buying now to cover for the gold they sold short over the years. Goldman Sachs and J. P. Morgan declined to comment about their gold trading positions or strategies.
“What a day,” Mr. Murphy said one day last week as gold broke through $670. Goldman Sachs and J. P. Morgan were big buyers that day on Comex, the division of the New York Mercantile Exchange where gold contracts trade. Sputtering at the joy of it all, Mr. Murphy could well have been a prospector hitting the Mother Lode. “These guys are short, and they are panicking to get out of their positions,” he said. “They are sweating bullets, and it couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of guys.”
There is a kernel of truth to what Mr. Murphy says. Central banks have been aggressive sellers of gold, especially in the late 1990’s, when gold was touching record lows. But most economists say that there was no grand design involved, just a badly timed attempt to shift into higher-yielding assets like bonds.
As for investment banks, they are sellers and buyers of any given asset at any given time. But it is also true that they have hardly been enthusiastic advocates for gold as an investment, especially when the stock market was king. Even now, as they have issued positive reports about the metal, their price targets seem oddly out of sync with its relentless rise.
Goldman’s forecast for a year-end price is $625 an ounce; J. P. Morgan’s target, which is currently under review, is $560, and Morgan Stanley’s is $550.
Compared with Mr. Murphy and his boylike excitability, James Turk speaks with an assured gravity consistent with his background as a commercial banker at Chase Manhattan. But his views about gold as the ultimate store of value in a financial world on the verge of collapse are no less doctrinaire.
Indeed, Mr. Turk has established his own online payment system, GoldMoney.com, through which he and his fellow gold bugs may enjoy the thrill of buying goods and services via gold, not cash.
IN some ways, it is a symbolic exercise. While the payment system is supported by $100 million worth of gold, no merchants have agreed to take bullion as payment, although Mr. Turk hopes that day may come. More than anything else, the site demonstrates his disdain for the dollar and all other forms of paper money — a view that he often heard from his parents, who experienced the ravages of hyperinflation in Austria in the 1920’s.
“It’s not gold going up; it’s the dollar going down,” Mr. Turk said by phone from Australia, where he was speaking at an investment conference. Gold has held its value much better than the dollar against commodities like oil, he said.
With oil hitting new highs — it has hovered around $70 a barrel for weeks — Mr. Turk foresees a return to the 1970’s, when high inflation and a volatile Middle East drove gold to its peak. “If we get close to $850 this year, it’s most probable that we will see a four-digit gold price in 2007,” he said. Four-digit gold — an ounce of bullion selling for $1,000 or more — is the gold bugs’ equivalent of a visit from the Messiah.
But for the growing number of hedge funds that are piling into the commodity, gold is less a virtuous investment than it is a mercenary one.
China and India are buying more gold. Iran is becoming more bellicose in its stand toward the West. And, most important, liquidity is making a broad shift to commodities and out of stocks.
“Do I think that gold is God? No,” said Monty Guild, who runs Guild Investment Management, a hedge fund in Malibu, Calif. “I’m a gold opportunist. When it’s good, we like it; when it’s not, we stay away. Gold does well during wars, and we believe there will be more wars.”
And for those not in gold, or any other highflying commodity, for that matter, the feeling can be lonely. William H. Miller III, portfolio manager of the $19 billion Legg Mason Value Trust, which has beaten the Standard & Poor’s 500-stock index for 15 consecutive years, has no gold in the fund. His view is that inflationary expectations, if not prices themselves, remain quiescent, and that gold — like oil, emerging markets and small-cap stocks before it — has become the latest investment craze, propelled upward by a wave of hot money, a term for speculative short-term capital.
“Gold certainly looks extended from here,” said Mr. Miller, whose fund is currently trailing the S.& P. 500 for the year. “It’s easy to make money when you are trend-following,” he added. “But if you are worried that the end is near, the last thing I want is gold because of all the hot money.”

Set against the backdrop of historic Lemont, a quaint suburban village with roots in the 1830s, Covington Knolls offers homeowners a selection of single-family home plans, a reality that lends the community a varied, discerning appearance.
At the family-friendly, 440-home community, homebuyers find the balance between calm suburban living and urban flair. Ranches and two-story homes pepper the Covington Knolls landscape, each home as individual as the family inside and all enjoying Gallagher and Henry’s renowned homebuilding reputation.
Located less than two miles east of I-355 and 10 minutes south of I-55, Covington Knolls offers quick access to the greater Chicagoland area while offering recreational opportunities at a number of local parks, thousands of acres of nearby forest preserves, scenic bike trails, and over two dozen area golf courses.
Little League parades, an active arts scene, and a weekly farmer’s market showcase Lemont’s tight-knit character and community pride.

The big costume party is almost upon us. Rugby Sevens is back in North America and Canada is busy preparing.
In a week’s time Vancouver will host the annual rugby festival in and around BC Place but before then it is a case of back to the future.
Los Angeles last hosted a World Series Sevens event back in 2006. Fourteen years on, the USA Sevens returns to Carson, Calif., following stops in San Diego and most recently Las Vegas.
It marks the halfway point in an uncertain season. The traditional spring tournaments in Singapore and Hong Kong have already been rescheduled due to the coronavirus pandemic so for the men there will be a huge 11-week gap after Vancouver.
It is far from ideal for players who are trying to time their preparation to peak at the Olympics. But the organizers are in a no-win situation. World Rugby is merely doing its part to prevent the mass movement of players and fans as the virus continues to spread.
In the meantime, the show must go on.
It may prove to be a positive showcase for the Canadian men. They find themselves in a preliminary pool with a real chance to advance to the Cup quarter-finals. In addition, a key member of the squad is making his comeback in L.A.
Canada has made it to the knock out stages only once this season. It produced a fifth-place finish at the New Zealand Sevens before falling back into the pack in Australia the following week.
Head coach Henry Paul will be targeting an upswing this weekend. His team is in Pool B alongside Ireland, South Africa and Kenya. The South African ‘Blitzboks’ will be the presumptive favourites to win the group but Canada knows second place is up for grabs.
Canadians target wins against Ireland, Kenya
Canada has a 6-2 head-to-head record against the Irish and beat them in Sydney at the start of the month. A winning start to the tournament will set the tone for how far the Canadians can go.
The Canadians also own a winning record over the unpredictable Kenyans. The numbers may provide statistical optimism, but far more important is how Canada will react after the likelihood of a loss to the Blitzboks in game two.
The Canadian cause is considerably strengthened by the return of Justin Douglas. The 25-year-old from Abbotsford, B.C., makes his season debut in Los Angeles and his presence has been sorely missed
At his best Douglas is a game changer. He has the strength and confidence to make rampaging runs into opposition territory and his 136 World Sevens tries is ample evidence of his finishing ability.
Douglas, who last played in the London leg in May 2019, will hope his injury issues are now behind him. With four more events ahead of the Olympics he has time to fully reintegrate into the Canadian team and push full steam ahead for Tokyo.
A mouthwatering match up with the old enemy could be on the cards in L.A. If Canada manages to navigate a way out of its group, there’s a good chance it could lock horns with the USA in the elite eight.
The Americans earned their first podium finish of the season in Sydney and have won their own USA Sevens event in each of the last two years. There’s no substitute for home advantage and the U.S. will be focusing on a hat trick of titles on home soil.
It is only fair to allow the Americans to have their fun. After all, the jamboree to come in Vancouver is one to rival any other, anytime, anywhere.
