Although most people like dogs, most pet owners can agree that they could probably do with a lot less shedding, as many of us find ourselves sweeping or vacuuming daily just to keep the house from looking like it got taken over by a hair factory. With all that in mind, today we’re going to take a look at some of the best Teacup dogs that don’t shed, allowing for you to have a bitesized pup without all the fuss.
A Quick Overview
If you love tiny, adorable dogs, then chances are you have at least glanced online at Teacup Dogs. The breed is beyond cute, adorable, and you would be hardpressed to find almost anyone with a single bad thing to say about how they look. While they can be a ton of fun, they also require more care as a result of their high energy levels, and so we strongly recommend you only consider going the Teacup route if you are able to be around your pup throughout the day.
The already small Chihuahua gets shrunk down even more in its teacup form, and honestly, we can’t get enough of it! This dog is often referred to as the “Puppy Purse Dog” by people, and it’s clear to see why, the teacup Chihuahua is an absolutely perfect pick for people that want to be close to their dogs all day, as if you train them they can become VERY comfortable stored in your purse. This pet also does come with its fair share of caveats to be aware of, however, like the fact that your dog would be able to get along pretty well with cats, but not very well with children or even other dogs!
Tiny, smart as a whip, and nonshedding all in one six pound package. That is essentially what you get when you go the Toy Poodle route, a popular breed that comes in three sizes. Obviously, today we will be covering the Teacup version of the Toy Poodle, which has its own benefits and shortcomings. The Teacup Toy Poodle is much more adaptable than the Teacup Chihuahua, mainly due to how easy they are to train, and how clever and resourceful they become after leaving the puppy stage.
Teacup Yorkshire Terrier
The Yorkshire Terrier, or Yorkie as most people call them, somehow finds a way to become even cuter as a Teacup, and is also a great option for many. The Yorkie will immediately make an impact on your life as soon as you bring them home, because of their energetic, confident demeanor. The Teacup Yorkie weighs between 2 and 4 pounds when fully grown, which is slightly less than the Teacup Chihuahua for reference. This dog is smart and can adapt to a more cramped living situation without it affecting it too much, and many consider this the gold standard for Teacups because of both their infectious personality and their unyielding love for their owner.
This one may deserve an asterisk because technically the American Kennel Club, or AKC for short, does not officially the Bichon Frise as a true teacup because it is slightly bigger than regulation, but we are going to let that slide, so we can tell you about this special little guy. The dog is a quaint, sensitive animal that has fur that makes it look like it’s been covered in cotton balls and is one of the most devoted breeds out there.
The Pekingese is a cool dog with a lot of history surrounding it, dating all the way back to Ancient China when royalty used to keep them as loyal lapdogs, which is why some people believe them to be the oldest domesticated dogs in history. Getting away from the historical stuff, though, the Teacup Pekingese is a great animal and has some unique qualities. For one, they are crazy tiny, and can easily fit right into the palm of your hand, if you can believe that!

China Tries to Kick the Public Smoking Habit

When the NewsHour’s global health team visited China last year for stories on tobacco, obesity and other health issues, they found a smoker’s paradise and an anti-tobacco advocate’s nightmare.
People lit up constantly in restaurants and parks, cigarettes made popular gifts for special occasions and business was hopping at tobacco shops. The country has an estimated 350 million smokers, more people than the entire population of the United States. More than half of adult men smoke.
“If you’re trying to quit, don’t come here,” wrote Ray Suarez. “The telltale odor of smoke, or a just-stubbed out butt, seems ever present.”
A new government policy banning smoking in public venues is now aiming to put a dent in the country’s smoking culture, or at the very least make smoking more inconvenient.
Watch the NewsHour’s 2010 report on tobacco use in China:
Starting this week, China’s Ministry of Health is strengthening its tobacco rules to require 28 types of businesses, including bars, coffee shops, hotels and stadiums to become 100 percent smoke-free. A notable exception to the regulation is office buildings.
“This is really an encouraging first step … it really sets a baseline for local governments and provincial governments,” said Kathy Chen, China director for the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids.
The government move is especially significant because the tobacco industry in China is a state owned and controlled monopoly. Cigarettes are big business, with taxes on tobacco products bringing in at least 5 percent of the government’s total revenue.
The decision brings China closer to fulfilling the tenants of the World Health Organization’s global anti-tobacco treaty, which the country backed five years ago but has been slow to implement.
“What is going to be key is public support and a social norm change where non smokers feel like they have the right to tell smokers ‘This is a non-smoking place, please put out your cigarette,’” said Chen.
The new policy requires business owners to post no smoking signs, and delegate staff to stop people from lighting up. Outdoor smoking areas must be away from sidewalks, and cigarette vending machines will no longer be allowed in public places.
Fines for business owners who violate the rules could range from 1,000 yuan (about $150) to 30,000 yuan (about $4,600), according to the new policy, but there are still questions about how the regulation will be enforced on a local level, and whether these fines will really be imposed.
“Publicizing a regulation is one thing, forcefully implementing it is another,” said Yuanli Liu, the director for the China Initiative at the Harvard School of Public Health who is serving as part of the health policy and management committee for the Chinese government. He warns the policy can be undermined easily if local governments, many of which benefit from the tobacco industry and sales, don’t buy into the regulation.
“This change will take a while, you don’t expect this new policy to become a panacea, a silver bullet to fix all the problems,” he said.
The tobacco industry and the government are intertwined in China but the policy doesn’t mean promotion of tobacco will stop. Liu noted tactical counter campaigns by the tobacco industry have already begun in response to these regulations, including promotion of new lower nicotine brands and publicizing charitable donations.
But unlike similar bans enacted in cities in the United States, there has not been an organized push-back from owners of bars and restaurants, said Chen, who has been monitoring media coverage in papers across China.
For the policy to make a real impact, Liu argued more needs to be done to educate the public and health workers about the real dangers of tobacco in tandem with new regulations.
“There is still a lack of strong belief in the harmful effects of smoking. People will cite examples of visible leaders who were chain smokers, like Chairman Mao, and lived a long life,” Liu said. Many doctors and medical students are also smokers, sending mixed signals to patients.
But the down-side to having so many people lighting up is also becoming evident. As Suarez reported last year, one million deaths a year in China are now attributed to smoking-related illnesses, and worker productivity is lost to these diseases as well.
“There is increasing awareness because of the alarming rates of growth of non communicable disease, of lung disease, stroke, cardiovascular disease,” Chen said. “You see the balance starts to tip.”
While many remain skeptical of how the new regulation will play out, Chen points to the recent push before the 2008 Beijing Olympics to make the city smoke free as an example that change is possible. Hotel lobbies in the city used to be wall to wall smoke, she said but since the efforts that has changed.
“Making it inconvenient and socially unacceptable to smoke does become a driver for people to quit,” she said.

Red---Goober sez Hey!
I understand the maximum stall to be 27mph.
The PSS, or "power scale slope" Rc gliders aren't true scale, they have more wing and tail area. I was doodling some sketches of what I think would be a easily built glider, and just for kicks I sketched a low wing design. I drew a side view and to get the approximate sizes I put my feet up to the nose, and drew me in a reclined position, a comfy one where my feet are lower than my butt.
I sketched a sliding canopy that could be used in cold weather, and then based on the distance from my feet to my head I made the aft fuselage about 150% of that length.
So for fun I added a belly scoop, and there was a Mustang! So then I got to looking at the PSS models and realized that by scaling one up to man size I'd have a glider, a basic shape that has been around for a long time, with no experimental aerodynamics. I've always thought that the free-flight models, with their good stability and nice large horizontal tails, when scaled up would make for a potentially decent ultralight glider.
I just want to build a glider that is like the type of aircraft I flew before Hg---You know, Cherokees and C-150's and Champs, etc. I had full 100% control of those aircraft's attitude at all times, something lacking in the Hg world that I always resented and have come to loathe. Yes it's simple and convenient to use, but there comes a time when one has to move on.
Set up and breakdown time isn't really very important to me. Having to make several trips from the truck or trailer to the set-up and breakdown area is no sweat either, in fact by having it in several pieces I won't have to carry a heavy weight.
I was sorta/kinda kidding about the Spitfire/Mustang idea, but I don't see why a glider dressed up to look like something cool would be any harder to build, and if the wing and tail areas and the moments are reasonably conservative it should be safe enough. What the heck, in 1977 I flew a swept aft flying wing called a "Zipper" that had no luff lines or washout struts and I had no parachute. Them was the days, alright. It's possible but unlikely that I'll be in any more danger in my Mustang than I was in that uncertifiable hang glider.
I'm wanting to K.I.S.S. so might try a "pitcheron" design, that way no linkages to the tail, just a lever for each wing, that would control each wing independently, with a means of coupling them in pitch so I could fly with one hand for roll. A big trim tab could be used to set the trim AoA where I want it. The tail would be set to keep the fuselage attitude in line with the relative airflow. I think that George Spratt's designs were similar to this. The idea being to have as few parts as possible, and to make it as easy to fly as possible.
When I first started having serious thoughts about this project I was "stuck in the box" and wasted time and thought on how to make it fold up. Then I realised that this thing is just for me, the hang glider pilots already have what they want, so I only need to make it breakdown far enough that I can get it from home to launch and LZ to home.
That simplifies things. I can make the wings from Styrofoam, "Swiss Cheese" style with aluminum tube spars embedded in them. The fuselage would have four longerons and foam shear panels, with the aft fuselage not requiring as much tubing, gotta get more clear on that. The four longerons will give me a lot more protection than I now have hanging in my Sensor.
I got a lot of inspiration from that guy that made a electric powered biplane on YouTube. He helped me realise that it's little more than an oversize model plane, and while considerably more dangerous than flying a model, if engineering is consulted and vehicle testing shows it's strong enough, and reasonably stable, then---Why not?
The old cliche "It ain't rocket science" applies here. It's nothing really any different than a 1930's light plane, or a 1980's Skypup. It's little more than a streamlined version of what Spratt did so long ago.
As long as I continue my therapy by writing about it I'll continue to make progress. Just how successful I am in the end is important, I don't wanna get hurt, but the Journey is the real prize. As Otto used to say, designing a glider is one thing, building a glider is one thing, but to fly a glider--well, that's a whole 'nuther thing. But each of those is a worthwhile hobby in itself. So even if I never soar in it, I will have had a great trip.

This is Zoe. She was my best girl (in our house of all men) for 16 years. Next month will be a year since Zoe passed away.
Zoe was 16 and I knew her time was growing shorter. Although she never let on, I knew she couldn't see as well as she once could and couldn't hear as well either. She was so smart that neither of these things really mattered though. Zoe had us spoiled as pet owners, (Hermes didn't stand a chance). From the day we brought her home, she was eager to learn and eager to please. She learned things on the second try (if she didn't learn it on the first) and she knew on the second "no" that it was something that she shouldn't do or somewhere that she shouldn't go.
Zoe kept the boys wrangled when they needed to be and she taught them how to care for an animal. When Hermes came along, Zoe had been the family pet for 9 years and she wasn't so sure about this new addition to the family. After a few days of tolerating him, she decided that he could stay, but that he was going to have to learn the ropes. The first thing she taught him was how to know when it was time for the kids to come home. The two of them would wait at the front door every school day just a couple of minutes before the boys showed up.
Zoe was a big help in training Hermes. She taught him to sing (who knew he'd be a soprano) and she taught him to walk on his side of the path when we went for walks. (Apparently, dogs talk to each other with their eyes, too. I never heard a thing, but boy, when she said "get on your side," Hermes listened!) Zoe could see that Hermes was a little on the hyper side when it came to tricks for treats, so she offered a "paw" with this, too. Literally. When I said, "sit," Zoe would sit. After the 3rd time of hearing the word with no treat delivered, Zoe would look over at Hermes (obviously the reason they weren't getting the treat) and smack his back end down to the floor with her paw. She would then look at me silently saying, "How's that?"
I worried for months that I wouldn't know when it was time to say goodbye to Zoe. I use to come downstairs in the morning and just watch to see if she was still breathing. I told my vet that I was concerned about Zoe's old age and worried that she would be in pain at some point and never let me know it. He simply told me that when the time came, I would know. Last December, a week before Christmas, Zoe told me that it was time. She made it very clear to me so that I would have no doubt. It was the best gift she could have given me.
In honor of Zoe, I am now offering a session for pets who are terminally ill or have only a little time left with their owner. I'm calling it, the Zoe Session. If you would like to know more about this session please don't hesitate to contact me.

An incident in India recently caused a stir and public dissatisfaction. A newborn baby slipped out of the nurse’s arms, fell to the ground and died. However, the hospital side consciously shied away from responsibility and even lied to the family that this newborn had died prematurely from the moment it was born.
According to the Times of India, the incident happened at a private hospital in Malhaur residential area, Chinhat region, Lucknow district, Uttar Pradesh state, India. The incident happened on April 19, 2022, but it was not until April 26, 2022 that the media reported and the public learned about it.
On April 19, 2022, Jeevan Rajput took his wife to the hospital to give birth when she began to show signs of labour. While waiting outside the delivery room, Jeevan Rajput and some relatives heard the mother’s screams. They thought it was just a cry of pain during childbirth. But after a while the doctor came out and told Mr Jeevan Rajput the sad news that his baby had just been born and died prematurely.
Still shocked by this information, Mr. Jeevan Rajput learned an even more terrifying truth. When the woman was taken to the recovery room, Jeevan Rajput visited and spoke to her and was told that her baby was indeed born perfectly healthy. However, the child died only due to an unjustified omission and carelessness of the nurse.
Mr Jeevan Rajput said: “I was informed by the doctor that the baby was stillborn. However, when I spoke to my wife, she said that the birth was still normal and that she saw it with her own eyes. The baby was still alive. My wife said she saw a nurse holding the baby in her arms without a towel. Then the baby slipped out of the nurse’s arms. My wife was so scared that she started screaming. The nurse covered her mouth and threatened to shut up.”
Shortly after, Mr Jeevan Rajput went to the Chinhat area police station to complain about the incident, saying that the hospital was responsible for his son’s death.
When the hospital side found out about this news, they denied all allegations and said that nothing of the sort happened at their hospital. However, on April 20, 2022, autopsy results confirmed the child died from head trauma, coroner Abhishek Pandey said.
The police assume a negligent death. Then, on April 24, 2022, police launched an investigation into the incident, alleging that the hospital’s doctors and nurses committed crimes of intimidation, intentionally causing injury and causing the death.
Mr Jeevan Rajput said that his whole family is very hurt and angry at the moment. His wife suffers the most and is hospitalized for psychological treatment.

The Melbourne City Council wants to impose new high-rise apartments in the city centre, and opinions on who should pay the proposed development tax have been divided.
The Security Council voted unanimously to ask the Minister of Planning this week to approve a charge of 900 yuan per unit for the new Hoddle Grid residential towers before the projected construction surge in the area.
The purpose of the fee is to obtain cash to finance the construction of public infrastructure that will supply 2031 residents by 14300. The facility is expected to cost 2650 million yuan.
Other cities have already started charging larger infrastructure construction taxes.Developers in Brisbane will be charged RMB 19000 for a two-bedroom apartment and RMB 27000 for an apartment with three bedrooms or more.

Proper Planer Alignment Reduces Manufacturing Imperfections
With the arrival of grade scanners in many southern pine production lines, there is a growing need to be much more precise with the planer machine work to plane a defect-free piece of lumber. Machine defects that the naked eye will miss on the production line, the scanners easily pick up and if only a .001” more than the parameters of the scanner the system may downgrade the piece or trim it off.
In reference to the attached Par. 720 (j, l, and o) of the SPIB grade rule book:
720″ MANUFACTURING IMPERFECTIONS (Excerpt)
Means all imperfections or blemishes which are the result of surfacing, such as the following:
(j) Machine bite is a depressed cut of the machine knives at the end of the piece.
Very light machine bite is not over 1/64″ deep.
Light machine bite is not over 1/32″ deep.
Medium machine bite is not over 1/16″ deep.
Heavy machine bite is not over 1/8″ deep.
Very heavy machine bite is over 1/8″ deep.
(l) A machine offset is an abrupt dressing variation in the edge surface which usually occurs near the end of the piece and without reducing the width or without changing the plane of the wide surface.
Very light machine offset is a variation not over 1/64″.
Light machine offset is a variation not over 1/32″.
Medium machine offset is a variation not over 1/16″.
Heavy machine offset is a variation not over 1/8″.
Very heavy machine offset is a variation over 1/8″.
(o) Wavy dressing involves more uneven dressing than knife marks.
Very light wavy dressing is not over 1/64″ deep.
Light wavy dressing is not over 1/32″ deep.
Medium wavy dressing is not over 1/16″ deep.
Heavy wavy dressing is not over 1/8″ deep.
What is being experienced with the scanners today is that if slight deviations combined with an allowable defect which is hard to see with the naked eye the scanners are seeing them. An example is within the grade of Prime with an allowable edge wane along with a slight deviation in the eased edge of the adjacent edge the scanner sees less than the nailing edge required, and it will drop the grade, or if the programmed pricing data overtakes it, it will trim it back. With that being said we will not be allowed the loose machine work that was ok in days gone by. This issue with poor machine work can be addressed with proper alignment as discussed earlier. The lumber must not have the opportunity to move about during the cut, and it is even more critical the faster we run because of the ricocheting while in the cut. If we attempt to bend the lumber as it passes through the planer, then it has to rebound by bending. Kiln dried SYP is resistant to bending thereby it tries to stick in the planer if we bend it. The option when the lumber sticks, is that we loosen the machine up and push it through which even adds to deviations from a perfect line of cut causing defects. When we tighten down on holding devices to lessen the defects, then we are back to the machine not wanting to feed. By keeping the lumber flat as it travels through it allows the planer to evenly dress a true line of cut which reduces the opportunity for bites, wavy dressing and face skip because the machine is allowed to take an equal cut with top and bottom heads with the lumber being stable during the cut.
Most often edge offsets which are also described and listed as per allowances in par. 720 are caused by the lumber being disrupted side to side while passing through the planer. In some installations, the bridge and feedtable are set by a line being pulled off the long guide in steel frame machines which have lead in them. This set brings the lumber into the machine at an angle, and then the planer tries to push it back to a straight line causing offsets on leading edges. It is best that the lumber comes into the machine at a perfect 12:00 o’clock direction to allow the machine lead to do its job in holding the lumber firm during the cut. Offsets on the tail end can come about by nonaligned hold over shoes behind the side heads which disrupt a true exit for the lumber. The condition of the outfeed roll must be perfectly flat from side to side with the top roll in like manner, or it will skew the lumber to one side while exiting causing offsets. With all that being said the synopsis of a defect free alignment is a straight shot through the machine.

Jennifer Lopez is known today as a singer, actress, dancer and business woman. She recently starred in the movie, Marry Me, alongside Owen Wilson. Prior to that, she has starred in The Wedding Planner and Maid in Manhattan.
Her chart-topping hits, Love Don’t Cost a Thing and Jenny From the Block, will forever remain classics.
Despite the fact that Jennifer has been around for decades, there are still some things you may not know about her.
Keep reading for five interesting facts about Jennifer.
1. Jennifer Lopez is the reason we have Google Images
Google Images seems to be a staple these days. But, did you know that Jennifer is responsible for its creation?
In 2000, Jennifer wore the iconic green Versace dress to the GRAMMYs, and people wanted to see photos of it.
Former Google CEO and executive chairman Eric Schmidt said: “People wanted more than just text. This first became apparent after the 2000 Grammy Awards, where Jennifer Lopez wore a green dress that, well, caught the world’s attention. At the time, it was the most popular search query we had ever seen. But we had no surefire way of getting users exactly what they wanted: JLo wearing that dress. Google Image Search was born.”
2. Jennifer Lopez was a backup dancer for New Kids on the Block and Janet Jackson
Prior to becoming a worldwide sensation, Jennifer was a successful dancer. This may be no surprise, as she often shows off her dance moves during performances and in music videos.
In 1991, Jennifer actually performed as a background dancer for New Kids on the Block during their performance at the annual American Music Awards. In addition, she can be seen as a backup dancer in Janet Jackson’s music video for That’s the Way Love Goes which was released in 1993.
3. Jennifer Lopez had the number one album and number one movie at the same time
Jennifer Lopez wanted to become both an actress and a singer. She didn’t settle for one over the other. She is as well-known for starring in romantic comedies, as she is for her chart-topping hits.
In fact, she was the first person to have a number one movie and a number one album in the United States at the same time. This occurred in January 2001 when her rom-com The Wedding Planner opened up at number one at the box office, alongside her second studio album titled J.Lo. Since then, no one has managed to achieve that feat.
4. Jennifer Lopez completed the Nautica Malibu Triathlon
In 2008, Jennifer completed her first-ever triathlon in Malibu. The star finished the half-mile swim, 18-mile bike ride, and 4-mile run in 2 hours, 23 minutes, and 28 seconds — which is quite impressive.
She was cheered on by Marc Anthony and Matthew McConaughey, who also competed in the event.
5. Jennifer Lopez has released more than 20 fragrances
As of 2020, Jennifer has released more than 20 (including one fragrance for men). One of her most recent perfumes, Promise, was released in 2019. Its featured notes include Italian tangerine, pink berries, and nashi pear.

A few weeks ago, while researching something entirely different, I stumbled across the story of Fannie Virginia Casseopia Lawrence. Widely known in the 1860s as a “redeemed slave child,” Fannie was a poster child for the abolitionist movement.
At this point, you might be thinking, “Slave child? Isn’t that little girl white?” No, despite her fair complexion and light brown hair, she’s not. In the mid-1800s, when Fannie was born to a mulatto slave mother and a white slave owner, she would have been described as an “octoroon,” or someone who is one-eighth black.
At the time, terms like quadroon, octoroon and quintroon were used to describe people who were one-fourth, one-eighth and one-sixteenth black. Regardless of how white Fannie appeared or how little African ancestry she actually had, she was considered black.
You can find many carte-de-visite photographs of Fannie online, including on the Library of Congress website. In the photos, the cherubic child is photographed in various poses, among them kneeling to pray while clad in an angelic, white nightgown.
Because these photos were used as anti-slavery propaganda, this was all about strategy — not only the sweet, innocent pose, but also because Fannie appears to be white. The thinking was that one might be more apt to support the cause, emotionally and monetarily, if one could imagine that praying child as one of their own.
But who was Fannie?
There’s an entry on FindAGrave.com about Fannie, written by a Rick Lawrence, who may or may not be a relative (he didn’t respond to my message). According to Lawrence, Fannie was born in 1858 in Rectortown, Fauquier County, Va.
Fannie’s mom was said to be a slave named Mary Fletcher and her dad was reportedly Fletcher’s owner, Charles Ayres. Ayres, who went by the middle name “Rufus,” was a white lawyer and farmer.
As described by William Page Johnson II, who wrote an article about Fannie and her family for the Historic Fairfax City newsletter in 2015, “Like many slaveholders, Rufus, who was unmarried, took full advantage of the relationship and had at least three children by his slaves Mary Fletcher, Jane Payne, and Ann Gleaves.
“However, unlike most slaveholders, he acknowledged them and provided for them in his last will and testament.”
In November 1859, that will came into play when Ayres was killed by a neighbor. An article headlined “Fatal Affair” in Richmond’s Daily Dispatch states that Ayres was “shot and instantly killed” by James Phillips, and that “the difficulty between them originated about the location of a road.
“Ayres struck Phillips with a cowhide, when the latter drew a pistol and shot Ayres, killing him on the spot.”
A subsequent article in the Alexandria Gazette and Virginia Advertiser describes a more drawn-out incident, involving multiple locations and an additional suspect or two, but the end result is the same: Ayres is dead.
(Both of these articles can be found in the Library of Congress newspaper archive, Chronicling America. Just search for Virginia, the year 1859 and Ayres.)
After Ayres death, the aforementioned slave women and the children Ayres fathered with them were freed. Unfortunately, because of laws at the time, that also meant they had to leave the state of Virginia. Because Mary Fletcher was married to another slave and had other children who were not freed upon Ayres’s death, she chose to remain enslaved.
But during the Civil War, in 1862, Mary Fletcher, Fannie and several other slaves, including others named in Ayres’s will that remained in slavery, escaped. There’s a long, detailed description of the escape in Johnson’s story, but in short, the group flees to Union territory.
What happens to Fannie’s mom after this is uncertain — Johnson includes some theories in his article — but Fannie ends up being adopted by a Civil War nurse named Catharine Lawrence. Lawrence was acquainted with the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, abolitionist brother of Harriett Beecher Stowe, who wrote “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.”
Lawrence takes Fannie, who’s about 5 years old at the time, to New York. There, she’s baptized by Beecher as “Fannie Virginia Casseopia Lawrence.” It was at this point that Fannie’s “career” as a “redeemed slave child” began.
According to Johnson, before baptizing Fannie, Beecher held her up to his congregation, declaring dramatically, “This child was born a slave, and is redeemed from slavery!” upon which there was an “audible gasp from the astonished, and equally horrified parishioners, who assumed the child to be white.”
Johnson goes on to write that Beecher told his congregation of the terrible fate awaiting Fannie, had she not been adopted by Lawrence. Because of Fannie’s “near-white complexion,” Johnson writes, “Fann[ie], and others like her, were in danger of being abused by their white masters, or worse, being sold as Fancy Girls, a 19th century euphemism for light skinned slave prostitutes, which were then common in New Orleans.”
Or as Beecher put it:
… Look upon this child. Tell me have you ever seen a fairer, sweeter face? This is a sample of the slavery which absorbs into itself everything fair and attractive. The loveliness of this child would only make her so much more valuable as chattel; For while your children are brought up to fear and serve the Lord, this one, just as beautiful, would be made through slavery a child of damnation.
It was an effective ploy, albeit for the good cause of ending slavery.
Sometime shortly after that, photos of Fannie were taken and widely distributed. As Johnson tells it, the pictures were “wildly popular in the North, making Fannie the most photographed slave child in history.”
While Johnson doesn’t say Fannie was abused or neglected in any way, he describes the tactics Beecher and Lawrence used as “exploitive.”
According to the Find A Grave entry, Lawrence raised Fannie “as her own child.” This is supported by the 1865 New York census, which shows a 6-year-old Fannie living in the town of Schoharie with Lawrence and her older brother, Henry Lawrence, a farmer.
Find A Grave also states Fannie married while in her teens and had two children. Johnson’s research led him to this quote by Lawrence, which supports this and also suggests the marriage was not a good one:
The little one that I adopted and educated, married one whom I opposed, knowing his reckless life rendered him wholly unfit for one like her. When sick and among strangers, he deserted her and an infant daughter and eloped with a woman, who left her husband and two small children.
Fannie is believed to have died sometime before 1895. Her burial site is unknown, although it’s believed to be somewhere in New York.
You can read Johnson’s article, in its well-researched entirety, here. It includes a lot more information about Fannie and her family, including the story of her older sisters, who also were brought north and adopted, but to even less happy endings.
And here, you can read an NPR story about other children who were photographed for anti-slavery campaigns.

About Robert Miles
In the mid-’90s, Robert Miles’ trance track “Children” dominated dance floors around the world, thanks to its combination of pulsating house beats, dreamy piano, and chilled-out vibes. The 1996 single reached No. 1 in multiple countries and made the Italian musician’s debut album, Dreamland, a multi-platinum global success. Born Roberto Concina in 1969, Miles learned piano as a child and later cut his teeth spinning records in clubs and as a pirate radio DJ. He followed up “Children” with a string of popular singles, including the laidback “Fable” and the tranquil “Freedom,” the latter of which featured soaring vocals from Sister Sledge’s Kathy Sledge. As his career progressed, Miles dabbled in more cinematic electro on 2001’s Organik—the harder-edged “Trance Shapes” appeared in the 2002 movie The Bourne Identity—and jazz and proggy art rock on 2011’s Th1rt3en. In 2017, Miles died at age 47 from pancreatic cancer.

310 F2d 809 Morrocco v. Northwest Engineering Company
310 F.2d 809
Nello MORROCCO and Employers Mutual Liability Insurance Co., of Wisconsin, Plaintiffs-Appellants,
NORTHWEST ENGINEERING COMPANY, a Delaware Corporation, Defendant-Appellee.
United States Court of Appeals Sixth Circuit.
December 10, 1962.
Alvin L. Levine, Detroit, Mich., Levine & Zweig, Gary A. Taback, Detroit, Mich., on brief, for plaintiffs-appellants.
A. D. Ruegsegger, Detroit, Mich., Dyer, Meek, Ruegsegger & Bullard, Detroit, Mich., on brief, for defendant-appellee.
Before CECIL, Chief Judge, WEICK, Circuit Judge, and BOYD, District Judge.
This appeal is from a judgment entered in the District Court on a jury verdict for defendant in a personal injury action against the manufacturer of a pullshovel.
Plaintiff, Morrocco, was a construction worker employed by a sewer contractor. He was engaged in laying sections of concrete sewer pipe into an excavation which was made by the pullshovel. The pullshovel, which was commonly known as a "Northwest Back Hoe" had been purchased new by the contractor only three days prior to the accident. After acquiring the pullshovel the contractor installed a hook on the back of the dipper bucket to accommodate a steel sling to which was affixed a pipe hook. This attachment, connected to the pullshovel, was used for lifting heavy articles such as sections of concrete pipe.
On October 24, 1956, Morrocco was in the excavation at the time when a section of pipe was being lowered therein by the pullshovel. The boom on the pullshovel came down sufficiently so that the pipe hit the edge of the excavation and dislodged the pipe hook with the result that the pipe rolled into the excavation hitting Morrocco and seriously injuring him.
It was the plaintiff's claim that the brake lining on the left-hand hoist brake of the pullshovel had become overheated and glazed causing the brake to slip, the boom to drop and the pipe to hit the side of the excavation.
The suit, which was filed nearly three years later, was the first notice the manufacturer had of the accident.
The principal ground relied upon for reversal was that the District Judge erred in not permitting plaintiff to amend his complaint so as to charge negligence in failing to instal a brake locking or safety device on the machine.
In a pre-trial order entered by the court on April 3, 1961 for the purpose of simplifying the issues in the case, which order was consented to by counsel for both parties, it was provided:
"1. That the issue of liability of the defendants herein is limited to the single question as to whether or not they or either of them were guilty of negligence in the selection, design, use, installation, inspection and/or testing of the type and kind of brake lining which was installed on the left hand hoist brake of the Model 6 Back Hoe involved in this case."
In view of the pre-trial order a locking or safety device was not an issue in the case. Rule 16, Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
The case has been pending since June 19, 1959. At the first pre-trial conference which was held October 24, 1960 counsel for plaintiff then indicated that he desired to amend the complaint so as to allege negligence in failing to equip the machine with a locking or safety device. Counsel for defendant stated that he would object thereto on the ground that the amendment would constitute a new cause of action which was barred by the statute of limitations. The court, nevertheless, granted plaintiff until November 21 to file any amendment to his complaint. No such amendment was filed. The order later entered on April 3, 1961 was in response to a motion of defendant to delineate the issues of liability, and counsel for both parties participated in the choice of the language contained therein.
Plaintiff's motion to amend his complaint involved changing the pre-trial order of April 3, 1961. The motion was addressed to the sound discretion of the court. Taking into account all of the factors involved, we are unable to conclude that the District Judge abused his discretion in not changing the pre-trial order and relieving the plaintiff of his stipulation. There was no manifest injustice to plaintiff, particularly, since the court had previously on October 24, 1960 granted him leave to amend, but plaintiff did not avail himself of that opportunity to make the desired change in his pleading although he had given it consideration.
Error is charged in the failure of the District Court to charge the jury that the manufacturer owed a duty to warn the user of the pullshovel of the tendency of the brake to slip until it was broken in. The court did not charge the jury on this subject since the uncontradicted evidence showed that the user already had such knowledge. There was no duty to warn when the user has actual knowledge of the alleged danger. Comstock v. General Motors Corp., 358 Mich. 163, 181, 99 N.W.2d 627, 78 A.L.R.2d 449; Gerkin v. Brown & Sehler Co., 177 Mich. 45, 60, 143 N.W. 48, 48 L.R.A.,N.S., 224; Jamieson v. Woodward & Lothrop, 101 U.S. App.D.C. 32, 247 F.2d 23; Sawyer v. Pine Oil Sales Co., 155 F.2d 855 (C.A.5).
We find no prejudicial error in the admission of evidence.
The judgment in the District Court is affirmed.

There is setting up a very interesting situation between the Idaho Legislature and U.S. Sen. James Risch’s office regarding the “wilderness designation” issue, which will appear on Bonner County’s May 15 primary ballot.
On Feb. 12, 2018, the Idaho Legislature presented agreement in Senate Joint Resolution, SJM 103, to “oppose any new federal national monument designations or further designations of wilderness in the state of Idaho.” Further, the federal delegation, Sen. Risch specifically, is being “urged to oppose a designation of wilderness …” that comes to pass by “unilateral administrative process that excludes the residents of the state of Idaho.”
If the corrupt process that alienated Clark Fork’s local participation for years was not enough to dismiss the creation of a “wilderness designation,” the alignment of the Idaho House and Senate in opposition should cause enough motivation for voters of Bonner County to vote no, or, against the “wilderness designation,” which will appear on the back side of the May 15 primary ballot.
The clear message of the Senate Joint Resolution, SJM 103, is to limit federal imposition and seizure of Idaho lands into perpetuity by administrative action at the federal level. With 48 percent of Idaho lands being under the control of the federal agencies, and only 13 percent of county lands being developable, push-back to permanent seizure of Idaho lands is appropriate and worthy.

DREAMS of a Magic Millions 3YO Guineas start remain alive for connections of Sept De Coeurs after the promising three-year-old resumed with an easy win at the Sunshine Coast.
In a dominant display that looked like a barrier trial, the Show A Heart filly, ridden by Tim Bell, led all the way and strolled in by nearly three lengths in a Class 1 (1000m) in quick time.
Her win on Saturday evening, December 21, was part of a double at the Sunshine Coast for trainer Stuart Kendrick, also saddling up Real Dreams to victory.
It was also the secod leg of a double at different tracks for the Kendrick-Bell combination, having earlier one the first race of the day at Doomben with Celestial Dragon.
Sept De Coeurs' win took her record to two wins and a second from four starts.
She is nominated for the $1 million Magic Millions 3YO Guineas (1400m) at the Gold Coast on January 11 but will struggle to qualify for the race.
"I'm planning to start her in a metropolitan race at the Gold Coast a week before the Magic Millions,'' Kendrick said.
"If she can win that hopefully she'll have enough prizemoney to sneak into the Guineas field,'' he said.
"If not, there are some nice QTIS races in town for her in January."
Sept De Coeurs wasn't extended by Bell and was still just a shade outside a 10-year-old class record.
Real Dreams then completed a remarkable day for Kendrick Racing when she broke through in a Maiden (1200m).
The three-year-old Real Saga filly made amends for a last-start second at Kilcoy, winning by a length.
"She should have won her last start at Kilcoy when she was wide throughout,'' Kendrick said.
"It was great to see her break through for a well-deserved win."

Rubbed with olive oil and herbs, roasted and then dressed, sprouts, sunflower seeds, avocado, . . . yeah, I’m talking about carrots strutting their stuff. This is a carrot ready to party.
I read that carrots are in this fall, the vegetable of the moment, the darling of innovative chefs. Truth is they’re one of our most loyal vegetables, they stick around all winter long, always have, and they’re at their prime right now. Freshly harvested ones at Farmer’s Markets are the best, peak flavors because they’ve likely been plucked from the ground within a day or two. You might get lucky and score some purple, red, and yellow ones as well as the orange.
Check their greens. They should be fresh and bright, not wilted. Supermarkets remove the greens in part so that consumers don’t recognize a carrot that’s been in storage for a while. Sometimes that can’t be avoided, and frankly, it’s another plus for carrots, that they can be successfully stored for long periods. But if you can get recently harvested ones, try them – as with any fruit or vegetable, the fresher the more flavorful.
At a family potluck last night they were scooped up, plates and fingers licked. Thanksgiving worthy.

Ingredients: 3 garlic cloves, peeled/ 1 teaspoon cumin seeds/ 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves/ 1/4 teaspoon crushed red chile flakes/ Salt and ground black pepper/1 tablespoon red wine vinegar/ 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil/ 1 pound medium-size carrots peeled/ 1 orange, halved/ 1 lemon, halved/ 1 avocado, pitted, peeled and cut in thin wedges/ 1 ½ cups packed radish or other sprouts/ 3 tablespoons sour cream/ 3 tablespoons roasted hulled pumpkin seeds.
Directions: Heat oven to 400 degrees. In a small food processor or a mortar, pulse or pound the garlic with the cumin, thyme, chile flakes, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 3/4 teaspoon pepper to make a paste. Add vinegar and 2 tablespoons of the oil, and mix well. Arrange carrots in a roasting pan and spread spice paste on top. Place *orange and lemon halves, cut side down, on carrots. Roast until carrots are tender and starting to brown, about 45 minutes. Using tongs, arrange carrots on a serving platter.
*You may want to remove orange and lemon from the oven after 30 minutes or so. If cooked too long their juice disappears into the pan. Not a bad thing, but there will be little available for making the dressing.
With a dishtowel to protect your hands, squeeze juice from the roasted orange and lemon halves into a measuring cup. You should have about 1/2 cup juice. Beat in remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle some of this sauce over the carrots.
Arrange avocado over carrots, then scatter sprouts on top. Drizzle with reserved sauce, top with dollops of sour cream (or not) and a sprinkling of the seeds. Serve.
Or just a platter of the roasted carrots with the dressing, a few greens and the sunflower seeds.

Personal Injury Law
A KZN High Court (Durban) judge has found the eThekwini municipality liable for damages suffered by a Port Shepstone woman, who says two metro policemen viciously assaulted her and called her a ‘kaffir’, notes a report in The Mercury. A criminal charge levelled against one of the policemen was subsequently withdrawn due to insufficient evidence. But the woman brought civil action against the municipality and Judge Jacqui Henriques found she had proved her case on a balance of probabilities.
The Road Accident Fund is being targeted by fraudsters who are said to be colluding with corrupt police officers and the organisation’s employees in order to get their hands on payouts, says a Cape Times report. It adds dishonest touts, doctors and lawyers go as far as fabricating claimants’ payslips and medical records or create fictitious dependants and customary marriages for the claimants in order to inflate cash payouts.

The Kuilsriver Magistrate’s Court also suspended Merrick’s driver’s licence for six months. In May 2013, Merrick crashed into Dr Koos Roux, who was cycling with his son. Merrick fled the scene. Police arrested him 10 days later when debris found on the scene matched his car.
The SCA has found the eThekwini Municipality negligent in not providing adequate control and supervision to avoid injury to children at its popular beachfront water slide facility, News24 reports.

The National Funeral Practitioners Association of SA‚ comprising about 300 members‚ said that parlours have had to shut their doors since the RAF introduced a panel of preferred undertakers to conduct the funerals of accident victims. According to a TimesLIVE report association secretary-general Nkosentsha Shezi said: ‘When a family has claimed from RAF for the funeral of a relative that has died in an accident‚ the fund gives the family two choices – you either take the funeral parlour that we are going to give you or you conduct the funeral using a parlour of your choice but we are not going to pay for your claim.’
Sending out a stern message to drunk drivers, a Durban Regional Court magistrate has given a young man who caused an accident in which three people died a 20-year prison sentence. According to a News24 report Magistrate Anand Maharaj, passing sentence on Kriesen Moodley (24), said: ‘We need sentences that can have the effect of changing the mind-set of such drivers who become lethal weapons.’
More than R5bn in gross provisions recently announced by gold companies for a silicosis settlement raises hopes that the six-year battle for more generous payments for ill ex-mineworkers may reach an amicable conclusion in the next few months, according to a Financial Mail commentary. Lawyers for former mineworkers started to gather claimants for a class action suit in 2011, after the Constitutional Court ruled that a former employee of AngloGold Ashanti could sue for R2.6m for compensation for the silicosis he contracted.
A Wesselsbron woman must keep her opinions on Toyota SA to herself, Judge Corné van Zyl has ruled, issuing a prohibiting order in the Free State High Court.

Three relatives of former policeman Mohamed Ebrahim were arrested yesterday and appeared in Durban’s Commercial Crime Court. Ebrahim is facing charges of defrauding the Road Accident Fund R6m after allegedly pretending to be a quadriplegic. A News24 report notes the state alleges his wife Asha (51), son Junaid (32) and daughter-in-law Nerosha Nohar (33) defrauded the fund out of R435 000 through invoices they submitted for payments for ‘taking care’ of him.
A ‘fake quadriplegic’ accused of defrauding the Road Accident Fund of millions of rands appeared briefly before the Durban Specialised Commercial Crime Court yesterday. The Mercury reports Mohamed Ebrahim (56) was expected to apply for bail but his case was postponed to later this week. Ebrahim stands accused of feigning injuries, as a result of an accident the state has alleged he was not even involved in, so that he could claim from the RAF.
The Gauteng Health Department has pleaded poverty before the Constitutional Court, claiming that paying out lump sums for medico-legal cases would financially cripple it, but failed to substantiate this with evidence. In what a Business Day report calls a landmark case, the department applied to have the court determine if the ‘once and for all’ common law rule prohibited the payment of damages by way of future services.
A young boy who suffered a head injury after being knocked down by a car in November 2006 has been let down by the law after his attorney first accepted a paltry Road Accident Fund settlement and then apparently stole the money. A News24 report says while the fund considers the matter closed, new lawyers are now attempting to make good and reopen the case to secure a better payout for the child.
Taxpayers will have to pay for the pain inflicted on a Mahikeng man by the police, which started with a complaint by a neighbour that he had assaulted his stepdaughter (3). According to a report on the IoL site, Petrus Tshisi was left with injuries across his body, before he was thrown into a police vehicle and locked up in a cell for a few hours. Tshisi claimed R1.2m in damages from the Police Ministry, saying the incident not only left him with physical scars, but post-traumatic stress disorder as well.


Phase and amplitude fluctuations spectra of the HF point source field in the fluctuating reflection channel are investigated on the basis of Rytov's method generalized to the case of inhomogeneous ionosphere. Integral representations expressing the fluctuation spectra are transformed to a form that is more convenient for numerical estimations owing to the reduced number of integrals. The resulting expressions are evaluated numerically with controlled accuracy for the three-dimensional power type model of dielectric permittivity fluctuations. The results of calculations show the oscillatory behavior of frequency spectra apparently having Fresnel diffraction origin. The phenomenon is investigated in detail, and results are presented.

The world-famous Stari Most (meaning simply 'Old Bridge') is Mostar's indisputable visual focus. Its pale stone magnificently reflects the golden glow of sunset or the tasteful night-time floodlighting. The bridge's swooping arch was originally built between 1557 and 1566 on the orders of Suleiman the Magnificent. The current structure is a very convincing 21st-century rebuild following the bridge's 1990s bombardment during the civil war. Numerous well-positioned cafes and restaurants tempt you to sit and savour the splendidly restored scene.
An engineering marvel of its age, the bridge was nonetheless pounded into the river during a deliberate Croatian artillery attack in November 1993. Depressing footage of this sad moment is shown on many a video screen in Mostar. After the war, Stari Most was painstakingly reconstructed using 16th-century building techniques and stone sourced from the original quarry. It reopened in 2004 and is now a Unesco World Heritage site famed for its bridge divers.

Who says new is always better?
The recently revealed 2020 Mercedes GLE is a big leap forward from its predecessor. Along with an all-new look, the GLE gains a new 255-horsepower 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbo option in place of the 3.0-liter V6, as well as a new inline-six option with a 48-volt system producing a total of 362 hp. Those power changes are accompanied by a new nine-speed automatic transmission, an available third-row seat, and an all-new interior. This update was much needed, as the GLE was one of the most outdated vehicles in the Mercedes lineup.
We still don't know exactly how much the new GLE will cost, be we assume it will be close to the outgoing car's starting price of around $55,000. The GLE may be an impressive SUV, but $55,000 is a lot of money. For those who simply can't afford such an expensive SUV, don't worry, because we have seven equally awesome used alternatives.
Often on these lists, we like to recommend the older version of the more expensive new car, and this no exception. The GLE replaced the ML class when Mercedes switched to the 'GL' naming scheme for its SUVs. The AMG Division will eventually get its hands on the new GLE, but why not spend a lot less on a used ML63 AMG?
Up until 2011, the ML63 was powered by a 6.2-liter naturally aspirated V8 producing 510 hp. This engine was later replaced by a 5.5-liter twin-turbo V8 producing 518 hp. You could wait for the new GLE63, but it will likely cost over $100,000 while the old ML63 can be found ranging from $15,000 to $45,000.
The second high-performance German SUV on our list is the BMW X5 M. A used M car may not be as easy to maintain as a new, non-AMG Mercedes, but life is too short to worry about maintenance bills. We found several original X5 M examples selling from $20,000 to $40,000. This beast of an SUV is powered by a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 from the M5 pumping out 555 hp. For those who don't mind high mileage, we also found a few examples of next-generation X5 M, which bumped the power up to 567 hp.
Finishing off our trifecta of German luxury SUVs is the Porsche Cayenne. It truly doesn't matter which Cayenne model you choose, because they are all great. For this budget, we'd stick to a second generation model which began in 2011. Prices begin as low as around $20,000 for high mileage base and S models, while GTS and Turbo models can attract around $50,000. A 500-hp Cayenne Turbo for $50k sounds pretty good to us.
Not everyone buying an SUV wants it to double as a sports car, which is why we adore the Volvo XC90. Unlike some of the other SUVs on this list, the XC90's only priority is luxury. It doesn't have crazy paddle shifters or track modes, but it does have a lovely 2.0-liter twin-charged four-cylinder producing 316 hp. Sadly, the 400-hp T8 hybrid isn't available for less than the price of a new GLE but T5 and T6 variants start at around $30,000 on the used market.
Why settle for even the most powerful 362-hp Mercedes GLE, when for much less you could get a 5.0-liter supercharged V8 with 510 hp? We found used, supercharged Range Rover Sport examples for around $38,000 to $50,000 depending on mileage and year. The lesser V6 supercharged engine can be found for even less and still produces a healthy 340 hp.
Ever since Jeep decided to stuff a 707-hp Hellcat engine into the Grand Cherokee, it's all anyone has been able to talk about. This shouldn't detract from the original Grand Cherokee SRT-8, which is still an incredible SUV. We recommend getting the 2012 facelifted model, which is powered by a 6.4-liter Hemi V8 producing 470 hp. High mileage examples can now be found for less than $20,000, with newer low mileage examples approaching $50,000.
Though the Volkswagen Touareg may not be the most exciting SUV on this list, we once called it the greatest SUV that has ever been built. Just think about it - the Toureg was so well engineered, it eventually became the platform for the Porsche Cayenne, Audi Q7, Bentley Bentayga, and Lamborghini Urus. The Touareg itself was powered by either a 3.6-liter V6 with 280 hp or a 3.0-liter diesel producing 240 hp and 406 lb-ft of torque. Prices range starting at just $10,000 for used second generation models, making the Touareg the most affordable SUV on this list.

As I write this we are in Indonesia and it has been a month since our visit to Cambodia’s Saracen Bay. I don’t think there has been a day that Lee and I haven’t talked about how we miss it. It honestly was our little paradise.
Saracen Bay on Koh Rong Samloem was our home for a week and also the place I was turning 29. Because of this Lee decided to book a slightly nicer place for us , which I wasn’t going to argue about. We choose the delightful Saracen Bay Resort which was 45 dollars a night. I am not exaggerating when I say they should be charging 200 dollars a night. This place was heaven.
We arrived via the fast boat from Sihanoukville (which you can read about here) and suddenly all the travel and pain was worth it. We were taken to our bungalow that was right on the beach and a few meters from the calm and still ocean.
The second we dumped our bangs, we threw on our swimsuits and hit the water. The water was so shallow you could just walk and walk in water warmer than any sea i’ve ever experienced.
There isn’t too much to write here since we spent a serene few days drinking gin and tonics* on the porch, swimming in the sea and star gazing.
I spent a fantastic birthday the same way we had spent the rest of the week and it was incredible. The main thing to point out to all you techie bloggers out there is that there was no wifi. The first day I was almost strickend that I couldn’t instagram the incredible sea views but I quickly loved the lack of contact with the world and didn’t really want to return.
I did debate not talking about this place just to see if I could keep it a secret a little bit longer but I loved it so much that I want you all to instantly run there and soak up the sunshine. If you are looking for the real desert island experience then this is the place for you.
There were other bars to explore but everything closed at about 8:30 for food and 10 pm for drinks so if you are after a bit more of a party feel then Cambodia’s other island Koh Rong, is more for you. We really liked the quiet few days we had there. In fact we liked it so much that when someone compared Koh Rong Samloem to Gili Meno in Indonesia we instantly changed all our plans to add it to our list. We’ll arrive there in a few days so we’ll let you know how they compare.
*We stocked up on snacks and alcohol before heading to the island because we heard it was expensive. It was actually quite affordable there but I’m glad we brought our own supplies.

Adherence to drug regimen in diabetes mellitus has been observed to have contributed significantly to poor management in many populations. This study was designed to assess the relationship of HbA1c to Morisky score in type II diabetes in high income group. Sixty subjects consisting of 30 type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. age range (38-60 years) and 30 age and sex marched non -diabetes controls (40-59 years) were selected for this study. Anthropometric and biochemical parameters were determined using standard procedures. Results showed significant increases in plasma glucose and glycated haemoglobin (HbAIc %) (p<0.001), triglyceride (p<0.01) and decrease in plasma high density lipoprotein cholesterol (p<0.05) in type 2 diabetic patients when compared with the corresponding control. Morisky score was significantly correlated with fasting plasma glucose (r=0.633 p<0.05) and HbAIc %( r=0.549, p<0.05). An association between FPG and HbAIc% and medication adherence rate of 66.7% was obtained for type II DM. Adherence to medication regimens showed a correlation with glycemic control (p<0.05). Self-reported Morisky medication adherence score could be used to predict the degree of haemoglobin glycation (HbA1c %) and therefore the risk of developing diabetic complications.

Luke Perry’s Son Jack Will Appear Alongside His Dad In ‘Once Upon A Time In Hollywood’Published on May 10, 2019.
Jack Perry, the 21-year-old son will be seen alongside his late father, Luke Perry, in the upcoming Quentin Tarantino film Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
Jack Perry, who is a professional wrestler, talked to Chris Jericho on the podcast Talk is Jericho, where he opened up about being in the film with his famous father.
“He’s like, ‘I want you to be in the same film or collection of footage that I’m in,’ and he was really adamant about it,” Jack said. “I was like, ‘Alright dad, I’ll do it.’”
He continued, “My dad was so excited about that. That kind of reinvigorated him and reenergized him.”
“He said, ‘If I never work again, I’m happy with this,’” Jack explained.
Jack Perry added that, “Tarantino is a really cool guy” and revealed what the famous director said to him regarding his father. “Tarantino told me, ‘I handpicked your dad for this,’ I guess because his role was kind of symbolic,” Jack said. “He definitely knew he wanted my dad for it.”
Jack went on to reveal that he didn’t actually watch too much of his dad’s work, including Beverly Hills, 90210, but praised him for choosing roles that spoke to him rather than ones that were “huge or commercial.” “I really haven’t watched a ton of him acting but he did these movies in Canada, like Goodnight for Justice,” Jack said. “He did those because he loved cowboy movies and he always wanted to be a cowboy. He did these movies so he could ride a horse. That, I think, in my heart, that’s my favorite [film of his] because that’s him doing what he wanted to do.”
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, Margot Robbie, Al Pacino and more and is set in 1969 Los Angeles with DiCaprio starring as Rick Dalton, the former star of a Western TV series, with Pitt costarring as his character’s longtime stunt double Cliff Booth. They’re both struggling to survive in a Hollywood they no longer recognize. Although, one person they do recognize is Rick’s next-door neighbor: Sharon Tate, played by Robbie, 28, which means the film will touch upon the Charles Manson murders. Luke Perry will be seen in the role of Scott Lancer, one of the main characters of the Western TV series Lancer.
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood premieres at the Cannes Film Festival later this month and opens July 26.

Top Positive Psychology Benefits
Positive psychology at a glance already reveals the benefits that the approach can have on a broad range of people to improve happiness and life satisfaction. Studies have proven the presence of an anxiety and depression gene. It indicates that an optimistic attitude helps to re-wire those genes in a sense to relieve and prevent anxiety and depression from being expressed. Other research has shown gratitude is connected with better life satisfaction, increased social support and might further help prevent strain and depression. It has found that Positive Thinking is all about choices. So their research demonstrates that changing negative thinking patterns with techniques such as redirection, reframing, and meditation boosts the process. It states the average human has between 7,500 and 70,000 thoughts per day depending on how the researcher defines thought and what is going on in a person’s life. Scientific research throughout the last 15 years demonstrates that individuals can be rather resilient in the face of severe stress but that it depends on the way they are able to manage their thought processes.
Positive psychology is utilized in coaching clients to detect life problems that are keeping them from being their very best self in managing mental and physical issues, including fatigue and weight problems. But, it is much more than a science studied in labs and classrooms. Positive psychology claims that individuals possess a broad range of psychological strengths and qualities that are vital for handling the challenges encountered in life. It can lead to a healthy and happy balance between work and life. It has a great deal of promise in the area of coaching.
Positive psychologists concentrate on where folks wish to go in their lives so they can empower them to get there. The positive psychologists offer an increasing body of data indicating that certain virtues and individual strengths are rather universal, which can be applied to develop people’s strengths in a structured manner.
What Does Positive Psychology Bring to the Table?
In a sense, positive psychology provides a new gauge to determine what’s beyond happiness. Happiness seemingly has a glow or light associated with it that you notice in yourself and others. Happiness is something that you can achieve by yourself, but working with others and borrowing from their wisdom and experience adds value to the process. Happiness is the secret to success through motivation to continue in difficult times. The trick to increasing happiness, therefore, is valuing and harnessing relationships. The increased self-confidence will help create a positive spirit that will stimulate continued growth.
Once you begin, you can realize that the majority of your negative thoughts typically come from a few categories. One of the effective methods to effect a positive shift in anybody’s life is via stating positive affirmations. In the process, your thinking will change, and your feelings and behavior are guaranteed to follow. It is simple to lose focus once we are out of balance. However, the focus shouldn’t be on what is wrong, but on what’s ideal or desired in a person’s life. In addition to strengthening family and social life, the techniques of positive psychology also improve positive workplace cultures and strengthen productivity.
The development of its positive emotion quotient would directly impact the quality and amount of innovation! For a very long time, the trend of traditional psychology has been to concentrate on the mission of curing mental illness. There are a few undeniable patterns, for example, the simple fact the people afflicted by conditions such as depression, anxiety, or bipolar disorder are more prone than other people to develop the problem in the first place. However, the interventions and self-improvement techniques claiming to boost happiness have been in existence since the time of Buddha and has surfaced in recent years in the mainstream Western world psychology and self-development practices as a more effective alternative than to concentrate on what is wrong with people rather than recognizing and developing the strengths that each of us has.
