In the middle of the night of April 30, I, half-asleep, felt a wetness in my bed. I figured maybe I’d peed a little, because that sometimes happens when I take a sleep aid. (They knock me out cold, so when my body’s nudging me to get up and go to the bathroom, I can miss the memo.) But when I woke up in the morning, I saw that the wetness was blood, and not from light spotting that can happen mid-cycle. It was more like did-I-have-a-knife-fight-in-my-sleep? blood. The next day, the bleeding had stopped. I don’t usually get PMS, but on May 9 and 10, I was having back pain, cramps and headaches. When I woke up on May 11, I had my period again.
Confused, I took to Facebook to ask if any friends had had irregular periods since going into lockdown. Aside from a few hilarious jokes from men (“Nope, I’m pretty regular!”), my comments section quickly filled up with yeses.
Jessica P., a 34-year-old producer, tells me, “My period is usually long but with no PMS symptoms. Now it’s horrific. I’m getting extreme migraines, bloating and spotting in between.” Ruth, a 32-year-old writer, got her period three days after finishing her previous one. Joey, a 46-year-old writer/editor who is never irregular, was 10 days late.
"I feel like my body is dying inside," says Jessica L., 32. As a fitness instructor, pre-COVID-19 she taught six to eight classes a week, “plus general movement,” she says, “like walking up and down subway stairs, which really does ease my symptoms. Now I feel like a blob who has sunken into my couch; I feel angry and ready to fight and also ready to weep at any moment.”
The funky quarantine periods revelation might have been surprising to me, but wasn't a surprise to functional nutritionist and women’s hormone expert Alisa Vitti, founder of FLO Living and author of In the Flo: Unlock Your Hormonal Advantage and Unlock Your Life. “Back in mid-March I started putting out the PSA to let women know that this was likely going to be a problem and why...I could see it coming."
Why quarantine stress wreaks havoc on your period
Basically, abnormal quarantine periods come down to the body's infradian rhythm and how it responds to stress, Vitti says. Infradian rhythms are a rhythm or cycle that lasts longer than 24 hours (unlike the circadian rhythm, the 24-hour cycle aligned with the sun's movements that governs most of your body's processes). The most common example of an infradian rhythm is, well, your menstrual cycle, and it's pretty important. “[Your infradian rhythm] governs brain function, immune response, the stress-response system, the microbiome, the reproductive system and your metabolism,” she says, and “your stress-response system naturally shifts during your cycle," she says. But introduce a lot of stress at once, and it can throw your whole cycle out of whack.
How, exactly? Mary Jane Minkin, MD, a practicing OB/GYN and professor at Yale School of Medicine, says that our period is part of an interlocking network that “goes kablooey” when stress is introduced. The sex hormones estrogen and progesterone, which manage different parts of your menstrual cycle, are produced in the ovaries. The ovaries get their marching orders from the pituitary gland, which control ovulation and other functions critical to mensuration with the timed release of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). The hypothalamus, at the base of the brain, controls the pituitary gland with its own hormones. Thus, anything that impacts the brain can have a trickle-down effect onto the rest of the body, including your cycle.
When you're stressed, the body releases the stress hormone cortisol as part of its fight-or-flight response. Too much cortisol for long periods of time can have a "dampening effect" downstream and “this regular, intricate cycling goes to pieces," says Dr. Minkin. Cortisol tamps down the production of the hormone GnH, which the hypothalamus uses to control the pituitary gland; not enough GnH and the pituitary gland doesn't know to make FSH or LH to control ovulation; without those hormonal signals, the ovaries don't function properly, and thus your periods are thrown out of whack, leading to irregular, strange periods and other hormonal shifts. Kablooey.
Thinking of our bodies this way—as one astounding Rube Goldberg contraption—it seems obvious that stress would be disruptive. And what has been more stressful in recent memory than this exact time period? Think about the state of the world right now—we're battling a once-in-a-lifetime pandemic that has no current cure or vaccine, facing an economic downturn on par with the Great Depression, and are expected to take care of our kids (and school them) while trying to do our full-time jobs from home (if we still have a job at all). Experts predict that the pandemic will take a big toll on Americans' mental health, and in turn, the increased stress will likely mess with how we experience our periods.
“There are people who can suppress feelings of fear, weakness, and vulnerability. But even if they’re able to do that subjectively in their minds and not experience their feelings, their bodies still will. Those people sometimes handle stress better—they’re survival skills from trauma and other things—but the body...can’t hide that," says Jennifer Berman, MD, a urologist and sexual health expert.
Compounding the issue is the fact that due to necessary social distancing measures, most of us are cut off from physical contact with loved ones—which is in itself a form of stress, says Dr. Berman. “We are wired as human beings to connect with other people, and when we’re ripped of that, it’s hard for us to survive."
How to get back to (relative) normal
So now that we know what’s going on—stress can cause an irregular period, and an irregular period can cause more stress—what do we do? For starters, don't panic, says Dr. Berman; instead, think of your period as a clear sign that you need to address your stress. "[Your period is] a symptom of what you’re thinking, feeling and doing," she says. "So if you want things to go back to normal, start thinking, feeling and being whatever normal is to you.”
Vitti’s plan for mastering your period could (and does!) fill books, but some simple stress-reducing activities to lower your cortisol levels and bring things back to normal include 15 minutes of jumping on a mini trampoline or dancing, she says. It's also worth worth exploring other stress-reducing practices, like EFT tapping, breathing exercises (or alternatives if they're not your thing), meditation, etc.
"Sexual stimulation, arousal, and orgasm is a very good way to release stress," adds Dr. Berman. "It doesn’t have to be through masturbation, it doesn’t have to be with or without a vibrator, it doesn’t have to be on your own, it can be with a partner,” she says. “In fact, I would say it’s better with someone you care about and love because of the connection aspect. But sex is a great way to reduce stress.”
If your quarantine period feels like it's unmanageable, is particularly heinous (e.g. extremely painful cramps, or out-of-the-ordinary symptoms), or you're worried that there's something bigger than stress at play, definitely call up your OB/GYN. “This is one situation that is actually fairly amenable to talking about on the phone," says Dr. Minkin. You can chat through issues and options together and come up with the right treatment plan for you.
The good news: Quarantine periods, while funky and terrible, are expected and not something to be super freaked out by. “The upside is, we are all connected," says Dr. Berman. "There’s light at the end of the tunnel. This is a reminder and wake-up call and a way to learn how to manage stress. This is a crash course.”
Hearing that truly does help, at least for me. Maybe we can’t control our periods—or the world—right now, but at least we can take comfort in knowing that we’re not alone. We are the Sisterhood of the (Time-)Traveling Period, and everything’s going to be okay.

Your indoor air quality needs, which depend on the number of pollutants in your house, help you determine the best type of air filter for your home. There are several types of air filters you can choose from. Let’s assist you in making a wiser selection by filling you in on the important details about different types of air filters.
These are the most common types of air filters available. They’re made from fiberglass strands spun together. Fiberglass filters are very cheap. While they trap larger airborne particles like dust, they don’t capture small irritants like pollen and mold. These filters won’t be your best option if you have a family member who has allergies.
These are similar to fiberglass air filters, but they cost more and are better at trapping dust than fiberglass filters. They also trap allergens like dust mites and pet dander.
If you decide to purchase a pleated air filter, you’ll want to choose one with a lot of pleats. The more pleats the filter has, the easier it will be for air to pass through the filter. A pleated filter with a MERV (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value) rating of between 6 and 8 will remove many pollutants from the air without burdening your HVAC system.
Electrostatic filters generate a static charge to attract airborne particles. They filter allergens better than pleated filters. They’re more expensive, but they have a longer life span than pleated and fiberglass filters.
These filters trap a wide variety of particles, including pollen and mold. They may be the most effective type of filter for smokers and people with asthma or allergies. However, they can overburden your HVAC system if it can’t work with limited airflow.
These filters comprise washable material. You’ll only need to replace them every three to five years. They can break, warp, or bend during washing. Therefore, you should clean them carefully.
You’ll need to wash these filters regularly and dry them thoroughly to maximize their effectiveness. Reinstalling washable filters when they’re not fully dry will allow bacteria and mold to grow on them and circulate throughout your home.
For further guidance on choosing the best types of air filters for your HVAC system and your home, you can contact an HVAC technician. Contact Hansberger Refrigeration and Electric Company for the best HVAC and air-filtration solutions in the Yuma area.

Among San Antonio’s aging housing stock, there are more than 700 so-called “shotgun” houses, many in need of major repair.
On Thursday, City Council voted to commit funds to rehabilitate three of them while also passing an ordinance to reduce the wholesale demolition of old homes.
The council approved a transfer of $302,000 from the city’s Neighborhood and Housing Services Department to fund the San Antonio Affordable Housing (SAAH) Shotgun Pilot Program, providing money that will go toward repairs on three of the narrow homes, all on the near West Side.
When completed, the homes will be available for rent to households that make up to 60% of the area median income.
In 2021, a team that rehabilitates owner-occupied houses for Neighborhood Housing Services of San Antonio completed repairs at a dilapidated home at 222 Furnish Ave. in the Lone Star District. But the nonprofit has since terminated the contract it had with the city.
SAAH will complete the pilot program initiated by the Office of Historic Preservation (OHP), which commissioned a study in 2019 to look at how rehabbed older buildings could meet the affordable housing needs of San Antonio. Among the study’s recommendations was to repair homes rather than demolish them or build new dwellings.
Three-fourths of all housing in San Antonio consists of homes built before 1965, according to OHP. Over the past 10 years, more than 1,500 homes built before 1960 houses were demolished. Such housing, often providing shelter for low-income residents, is increasingly vulnerable to demolition.
Another of the OHP’s initiatives aimed at preserving those homes and improving affordability won council support Thursday when all but one member voted to approve the city’s first deconstruction ordinance. The ordinance would mandate taking apart dwellings and other residential buildings when possible to salvage reusable building materials rather than demolishing the structures.
Though the possibility of a deconstruction program was first raised in 2017, Council first heard details about a proposed ordinance in February. At the time, staffers said annually about 500 buildings in San Antonio are razed. Sixty-nine percent of all demolition permits issued in the last decade were for residential structures, according to OHP.
Mechanical demolitions contribute to over 15,000 tons of waste, officials said, and every year since 2009, about $16 million worth of salvageable material has ended up in landfills. If removed through deconstruction, the material could be reused in the repair of other homes and ultimately prevent future demolitions.
Some of the material could be sent to the Material Innovation Center at Port San Antonio. The center will serve as a temporary lay-down space for building materials available to the community at no charge, but also as a site for skills training and research in reused materials.
“Sometimes buildings are going to come down — there are times when a building removal is necessary,” said Shanon Shea Miller, OHP’s executive director. “But when that happens, those materials can be reused and extend the life of other buildings in our community.”
Miller said that in addition to the environmental benefits of deconstruction, there are many social, economic public health benefits associated with removing buildings through deconstruction.
Under the ordinance, OHP will administer the deconstruction process through a permitting process similar to demolition requests. The new rules would become effective in three phases, starting on Oct. 1.
The first phase calls for applying the ordinance citywide to single-family and small multifamily residential structures built before 1920 and to the same types of structures with a historic zoning overlay or within a neighborhood conservation district, such as Beacon Hill.
In phase two, to become effective on Jan. 1, 2023, the ordinance will apply to single-family, multifamily and rear accessory structures built before 1945 and the same types of structures within historic or conservation districts.
On Jan. 1, 2025, phase three kicks in, requiring deconstruction of residential single-family structures, multi-unit structures and accessory structures that were constructed before 1945, regardless of zoning overlay.
The rules also apply to the same structures built before 1960 that have been designated historic or are located within a neighborhood conservation district.
“Our program priorities are to support affordable housing repair and production, as well as increased access to affordable materials, [to] increase our local pool of tradespeople and make renovations more cost-effective,” Miller said.
Funding to offset the cost of deconstruction, estimated to be about $3,000 more than a typical demolition, is available from the Alamo Area Council of Governments Solid Waste PassThrough grant and OHP’s budget. The department’s website, sareuse.com, features resource guides, a list of certified contractors and other information on deconstruction.
But the potential added cost of deconstruction passed along to homeowners is what concerned one councilman about the program.
“If this is such a great idea, why not let private industry do this, open it up and provide incentives to private industry to do this program without passing that cost to the end-customer for whatever is going to be built after that,” said Councilman Clayton Perry (D10), who cast the lone vote against the ordinance. “That’s where my biggest heartburn is.”
A heat map created by OHP shows most of the city’s demolitions occur on the West Side. Councilwoman Teri Castillo (D5), whose district covers that area, said she was proud to offer support for the ordinance.
“We know that there’s no silver bullet, but this adds a tool to our arsenal to ensure that we mitigate community displacement,” Castillo said. “Deconstruction can boost [home rehabilitation] efforts by providing inexpensive materials which still fit the character of older neighborhoods, and the deconstruction process means that some of the existing structures could be retained, which lowers rehab costs.”


Avalanche ride momentum into clash with Oilers

The Colorado Avalanche have turned the tables after a five-game losing streak threatened to undo a great deal of their good fortune to start the season.
The Avalanche aim to extend their winning streak to four on Thursday when they visit NHL points leader Leon Draisaitl and the Edmonton Oilers in the second stop on their five-game, 10-day road trip.
Colorado is coming off its first shutout of the season, and an unconventional one to boot.
Rookie Adam Werner made 40 saves in his NHL debut after coming on in relief of an injured Pavel Francouz just 31 seconds into Tuesday's 4-0 victory over Winnipeg.
"Sometimes you get thrown into the heat of the battle when you're not expecting it. He had a great performance, and our guys were all abuzz," Avalanche coach Jared Bednar said of Werner, who was recalled from Colorado of the American Hockey League last week.
The 22-year-old Swede was summoned to provide additional depth as traditional starter Philipp Grubauer has missed the last three games with a lower-body injury.
"Amazing, I mean we had no idea what he was capable of, we just shot on him a few times in practice and morning skate. He's a gamer," said Nathan MacKinnon, who put forth quite the performance in his own right.
MacKinnon scored two goals and set up two others on Tuesday to record his seventh career four-point performance and boost his point total to eight (three goals, five assists) in his last three games.
The 24-year-old MacKinnon, who leads the team in goals (11), assists (15) and points (26), erupted for five points in three encounters with Edmonton last season.
Cale Makar, who was named the NHL's Third Star of the Week on Monday, became the first Avalanche rookie defenseman to score a goal in three straight games when he tallied in the first period versus the Jets.
The 2019 Hobey Baker Award recipient extended his point streak to four games (four goals, three assists) with the tally and joined John-Michael Liles (2010-11) as the lone Colorado blue-liners to notch 18 points in the first 18 games of the season.
While MacKinnon and Makar have flourished, it pales in comparison to the scorching play of Draisaitl.
Draisaitl scored and set up a goal to extend his point streak to 10 games (nine goals, 11 assists) and captain Connor McDavid boosted his to five (five goals, three assists) on Tuesday, however the individual success didn't carry over to the team as Edmonton dropped a 6-3 setback to San Jose.
"We just got outplayed. We were sloppy, we didn't make the right decisions with the puck," the 24-year-old Draisaitl said. "Those games happen and it's about the response now."
The talented duo traditionally has responded well against Colorado. Draisaitl has collected 16 points (five goals, 11 assists) in 12 career encounters while McDavid has done him one better with 17 points (eight goals, nine assists) in one fewer game.
As for the present, the Pacific Division-leading Oilers have lost three of their last five games overall (2-2-1) heading into the opener of a brief two-game homestand.
"The loss showed a little bit of the immaturity of our group to sustain things and the immaturity of trying to become a real good team," Edmonton coach Dave Tippett said. "But we're not there yet, you know, real good teams go out there when all else fails and are able to recognize the situation and then compete hard."

Too little sleep or too much sleep can throw your stress and regulatory hormones out of whack, and may lead to weight gain. A single night of sleep deprivation can increase levels of ghrelin (a hormone that promotes hunger), making you more likely to overeat the next day. Reduced sleep may also lead to fatigue during the day (duh) and less physical activity, which may be another reason why people who regularly don't get enough sleep tend to gain weight.
Processed foods are one of the biggest sources of salt in Americans’ diets—and the scary part is you probably don’t even realize it. Because of the way these addictive foods are formulated, salt is hidden in everything from soups to pasta sauces to even sweet things like boxed cakes. Swap out processed foods in favor of fresh fare and your tummy will thank you. Not only will you lose the salt-bloat but you’ll also lose the extra empty calories and lose weight. Learn about these 50 more ways you can lose weight without a lick of exercise.
Close the Kitchen at Night. Establish a time when you will stop eating so you won't give in to the late-night munchies or mindless snacking while watching television. "Have a cup of tea, suck on a piece of hard candy or enjoy a small bowl of light ice cream or frozen yogurt if you want something sweet after dinner, but then brush your teeth so you will be less likely to eat or drink anything else," suggests Elaine Magee, MPH, RD, WebMD's "Recipe Doctor" and the author of Comfort Food Makeovers.

Hornet GreenMp3s & jpegs
Pinkman boss Marsman lines up the next 12" on his Charlois imprint and in doing so welcomes back good friend and label inaugurator Dollkraut. Having steadily released a collection of extolled records, the idiosyncratic Dutchman remains in search of ancient mysteries and follows up The Gym LP 'Schimanski's Black Lullabies' for with another varied cut - this one brimming with grubby percussion, vocoder tones and faint yet compelling homages to the traditional music of Mexico and Spain. 'Mastermaster' kicks things off and drives a shifting sequence through a lo-fi break, plodding piano notes and a clipped, lively vocal hook before 'Bruce Wayne' melds spring reverb and squelching flangers to treat guitar riffs and more 80's drums. Eerily wobbling synths shimmer over head before 'Hornet Green' drives a sprung kick under tense, soundtrack synth tones and a sandy shuffle as a cinematic pursuit is rendered. 'Valium' then sets sultry vocals floating through more hazy drum breaks and softly shifting chords. Rhythmic variation and more vintage effects wade in and round off off a refreshing package of rich and intriguing gems and another fine addition to the Charlois series.

Environmentalists, activists, residents and elected officials on both sides of the Chelsea Creek are standing in solidarity in firm opposition against Eversource’s plan to place a substation at the City Yards in East Boston along the Chelsea Creek.
Last week in Eastie, the state’s Energy Facility Siting Board (EFSB) held a public meeting to discuss Eversource’s Notice of Project Change that moves the proposed substation from the eastern corner of the City Yards in East Eagle Square to the western corner. The original location on the eastern portion of the city-owned parcel was approved by the EFSB last year.
In its Notice of Project Change Eversource seeks approval to move the Substation 190 feet to the western side of the City Yards lot. The scope of the upcoming meeting is limited to Eversource’s proposed relocation of the substation from its current site on the eastern side of the city parcel to its new proposed location.
Eversource said the two 115-kV transmission lines that would connect to the substation would no longer be routed along Condor and East Eagle streets if the substation is placed in the western portion of the parcel.
Local environmentalists from Eastie and Chelsea have called on the EFSB to explore alternatives to placing Eversource’s proposed substation along the Chelsea Creek.
For two years, local environmentalists on the Eastie and Chelsea sides of the Creek have launched a visual, media and talking campaign against Eversource’s plans to place the substation at the City Yards in Eagle Square.
At the meeting, U.S. Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley, who represents both East Boston and Chelsea, sent a video testimony from her office in Washington, D.C.
“I’m your sister in solidarity,” said Pressley. “This at its best is poor urban planning and at its worst an injustice. It is unconscionable that a community already overburdened with environmental injustices would be put in harm’s way and have those existing health hazards exacerbated. The community should be a part of planning and I know when we organize we win and this is a fight like so many others we are taking on and I stand with you.”
Last year the EFSB ruled in favor of placing the substation at the City Yards. However, the final ruling came with some provisos. According to the state board, the EFSB vote to approve the substations and 115 kV underground cables in Eastie, Chelsea and Everett came with some conditions. The EFSB directed Eversource to enter into discussions with the City of Boston regarding the possible relocation of the new substation and the related cable on the Chelsea Creek site.
Sen. Joseph Boncore thanked the members of the Eastie and Chelsea communities for standing up for environmental justice.
“You really need to reexamine the location,” Boncore told the EFSB. “East Boston is an environmental justice community, and a high level of scrutiny should be applied to your review of this proposal and consider that the site is in a residential neighborhood and right next to a park and on the water. I would ask you to listen, a lot of people showed up to this meeting and (their opinion) is the temperature of this neighborhood on this issue.”
Rep. Adrian Madaro said he was not only at the meeting as an elected official, but as a resident of Eagle Hill–just a few blocks from the proposed site.
“I certainly share many of the concerns (with the community),” said Madaro. “I want to thank all the residents here because we finally have a vehicle to express our opinions. The proposed location is next to the American Legion Playground where I grew up playing basketball. I hear all the time from families who are concerned about the potential impacts of siting a substation directly adjacent to one of the most highly frequented parks in East Boston. What does that mean for the safety of children and families that play and recreate at the playground? This proposal is also in the midst of a flood zone and East Boston is susceptible to climate change and extreme weather events.”
Madaro pointed out that twice last year the area where the substation is proposed flooded during extreme weather events.
Councilor Lydia Edwards said she believes in process and the dignity that process gives to a community. However, she questioned whether or not the community process was flawed when it came to siting the new substation.
“If the process is one that is not trusted then you provide no dignity to or respect to those living in the community,” she told the EFSB. “That is my concern. From the beginning the approval of this substation to today the process has been flawed. My community has not felt heard or valued. The community has felt this has been Eversource’s process and not the community’s.”
Local activist John Walkey, who lives in Eastie and works with Greenroots Chelsea argues that the project represents an increased risk in both communities already bearing a huge environmental burden in the region by playing host to Logan International Airport, highways and jet fuel storage tanks along the Chelsea Creek.
Walkey made a push for the EFSB to see a more logical place to site the substation.
“If only there was a place in East Boston with restricted access that would be a more appropriate location. Maybe a place that already had millions of dollars invested in raising the ground level so it is more flood resilient. Maybe a place that already is much more secure with state police oversight and very limited access. Maybe a place that takes up over a third of the landmass in East Boston. And just maybe a place that is going to be a consumer of over half the electricity that goes through the substation anyway. Obviously the (Logan) Airport is a far more logical place,” said Walkey.
As part of its decision, the EFSB directed Eversource to provide an update to the board on the status of discussions between the community and city before construction on the substation commences. This has given additional time for Eversource, the City of Boston, and residents to iron out the alternative locations for the substation.
The substation was initially slated to be built on an Eversource-owned parcel on Bremen Street. However, under the former late Mayor Thomas Menino, Boston executed a land swap with Eversource. Eversource have the City of Boston the Bremen Street parcel so the city could build the new East Boston Branch Library in return for a city-owned parcel in East Eagle Square.
Longtime community activist Fran Riley equated stuffing the substation between beautiful community green space like American Legion Playground and the Condor Street Urban Wild is like stuffing ‘liverwurst into an Italian Cannoli.”

In the Beginning:
I have lived on a 47 acre farm since I was 6 years old and have enjoyed the good fortune in my life to be surrounded by many pets. When I was an infant our family dog, Margie, slept under my crib and I felt this incredible bond. I knew that dogs were destined to be a part of my life forever. Our family always had pets: rabbits, cats, dogs, cows, ponies, horses even a turkey, and a donkey that we had for 28 years.
Having the opportunity to show dogs since 1976 has enabled me to travel all over the world; some of the places include Europe, Canada and Bermuda. I have met people with the same interest as myself while making wonderful friends and memories. I have had the chance to show at the prestigious Westminster. I have attended a dog show in Belgium and was fortunate to attend the Crufts Dog show in London England, the final show there. Crufts is now held in Birmingham England. I have also attended the authentic Ankörung in Switzerland- this is where they judge the conformation and temperament of their Swiss breeding stock.
How Did I Get Involved With Entlebuchers:
I found the Entlebucher in a book called "Atlas of Dog Breeds of the World". I did more research and decided that this was the breed or me. I then waited about 2 yrs until I was ready to add another dog to our family. I imported my first Entlebucher Hanna from Europe in 1995 with the intent to show and breed her. At that time the only show venues for Entlys were the American Rare Breed Association shows and United Kennel Club shows. I had a blast! Hanna and I traveled from one coast to the other and also Florida. Hanna was a great traveler. One time I missed my connecting flight and Hanna was patiently waiting for me in the Orlando Airport. She was fine, I was FRANTIC! Hanna was everything you would want in an Ently.
After showing for many years, I was very happy to hear the news that Entlebuchers were receiving full AKC recognition. To put it mildly, I was ecstatic! Prior to this, Entlys were only permitted to show in the AKC Companion events obedience, rally and agility. Since I already had the first AKC obedience and rally titled Entlebuchers; my next goal was to have the first AKC Conformation Champion. Well, we did it!! I say we because my sister, niece and a friend all helped me show my dogs. Susan, my friend whom I met while showing Rare Breed in California, was a great help! Her sister met Bello when we were in Washington DC receiving his award and fell in love with him. She wanted one of his puppies.
My sister has started showing this year and is in the process of joining my obedience club, Queen City Dog Training Club. After taking a class, she said, "the people there are so nice." It is true, you do meet the nicest people, with dogs! My niece, Anna has been showing dogs for about 8 years. She started showing in 4-H and continues to show and train our dogs. She is an excellent handler and helps tremendously when we have puppies.
Loving and living with dogs is a lifetime commitment. I am committed to this breed and enjoy sharing my knowledge and experience.

Clint Eastwood plays Walt Kowalski, a war veteran who has brooded over his experiences in the war for decades. His views of the other race begin to slowly change as he develops an unlikely friendship with the teens next door. I am only now becoming more aware about the human rights problem in China. It has shown how much they have done for our country and why they are here. So what if he was a cranky old 80 years old? Thao played an innocent feminine teenage role that Walt believed was not masculine, but has class and self-respect.
Everything jars with Walt, from the young priest giving the eulogy to his granddaughters belly button ring, from the Japanese car driven by his son to his granddaughters crass selfishness. Everything about it was just one big fat comedy. I consider him to be much less racist than the 95% whites in this country who abandoned their former beautiful neighborhoods that have been overtaken by new ethic peoples and the poor. For most of his childhood life, 17 year old Oher has been in foster care with different families yet runs away every time he was placed in a new home. Por lo mismo, estos personajes eran los hombres comúnmente marginados y exiliados al ser de un pensamiento libre, rebelde y por fuera de la esfera del poder.
I laughed because his racial epithets were so absurd. It shades some light into cultural perceptions, interrelatedness, and how violence based on cultural differences is manifested in the urban America. Gathering my data through numerous network connections with multiple communities and organizations were crucial to outreach my targeted groups. The Black characters refuse to accept the White boyfriend as a fellow gang member, whilst physically and verbally harassing a Hmong character. The reading of the will at the end of the movie provides a neat and unexpected ending symbolizing change for the better in the neighborhood. Disgruntled Korean War vet Walt Kowalski sets out to reform his neighbor, a young Hmong teenager, who tried to steal Kowalski's prized possession: his 1972 Gran Torino N. Scenes that were just offensive turned comic fodder for the audience.
This movie just fuels the rhetoric of our post-racial society. For this project I chose to watch a movie and a couple episodes of a television show. I think the movie does an excellent job in challenging our beliefs. His old school beliefs coupled with his immense amount of pride and sense of justice are what the Gran Torino embodies. Trabajó en la compañía telefónica Telefonica mientras haciendo cortometrajes con una cámara Super-8 y perfeccionar su arte como escritor de relatos cortos y satíricos medios. McCain won the white vote. It seems like you might just be defensively reacting to our analysis of racism in this film without familiarizing yourself with the literature we use as the foundation for our argument.
It is a symbol of a time when life made more sense to Walt. I never knew about the struggles that have been happening in places like China and Laos. This movie perhaps is one of the most accurate reflections as to of what has happened to this country since the end of the Korean War. In my mind recreation is an art form and in this sense, directors, producers, writers, and actors alike must come together as a group and creatively construct a fictional reality that best represents the times and subjects of that reality. Examples of better studies on race relations and class conflict: The Wire, Do the Right Thing.
Most racism today is covert or subtle, rather than overt. For one, Eastwood has always dealt with issues of race, gender, religion in the honest way he can, and which could portray itself as incorrect politically. Exploring other, less violent communication alternatives to create a constructive rather than destructive end to the conflict could have been carried out had Walt and his Hmong neighbors joined forces to confront the gang. He then realized that Thao and his sister will never safe as long as the gang is still in the neighbourhood. Knowing that he would soon die probably cancer? A White racist bigot, had his heart changed by his experience of mixing and interacting with the American Asian Hmong people. We make decisions based on what we think is right or wrong.
Cultural traditions are displayed by both the Americans and the Hmong. At first, Walt treats the neighbors with very little respect and wants nothing to do with them, but as the movie progresses, he becomes rather fond of them. It either reinforces negative stereotypes, or it can actually be a part of moving the country into a different direction. Walt played the dominating male that represented how a real man should be. Keep on fighting the good fight though. After being riddled with bullets, his body falls to the ground and lands with his arms straight out to the sides, much like the image of Jesus being crucified.
Gran Tarino took the opposite tendency and let everything be shown. Examine character development throughout the film Gran Torino? Few even consciously recognize themselves to be racist. While this is true, there are many other forms of popular culture. Walt as an Anti-Hero Walt is anything, but perfect. Charlie asks Simon directions to somewhere she can walk her Gran's dog. The moving away from the violence is in part due to cultural acceptance and a realization that the community does matter and that Walt can make a change. Examine character development throughout the film Gran Torino? During this, Walt learned that Thao had tried to steal the car to be a part of the gang that he confronted earlier in the movie.

According to The Atlantic, the U.S. Army plans to select a new standard-issue handgun. If history is a guide, similar pistols will soon start appearing at gun stores, crime scenes, and even in the movies.
Gun makers will compete for the U.S. Army contract, striving to make a weapon more powerful and accurate. The U.S. Army will soon issue design requirements for a new standard issue handgun. Many think the upgrade is long overdue. However, the last time the military choose a new gun, similar weapons appeared in the consumer market. The result was a rise in multiple gunshot civilian shootings.
Studying the D.C. area in the 1980s, Daniel Webster of John Hopkins University noticed more patients were arriving at the emergency room with multiple bullet wounds. During that same period, the Joint Services Small Arms Program asked the firearms industry to develop a handgun with more capacity. After analyzing prototypes, Beretta won the contract and the Army ordered more than 300,000 M9 pistols. To meet demand, the production site was moved to Maryland.
Beretta already offered a nearly identical handgun to civilians, the Model 92FS. There were also other high capacity guns on the market but none took hold like the Berretta. Thanks to the film industry, it became a pop culture icon. Stars like Mel Gibson, Bruce Willis and Chuck Norris wielded the gun in their high intensity action movies.
The Atlantic reported that most of the manufacturers that had competed with Beretta for the military contract redesigned their prototypes and offered them for commercial sale. The new guns hit the streets running, during the height of the crack epidemic and the era of drive-by shootings.
Although military contracts drive innovations that make guns more lethal, the same contracts can also produces advances in safety through design and law. In 1994 Congress adopted an assault-weapon ban that capped magazines to 10 rounds. However when the ban expired in 2004, guns with 15 rounds or more capacity were used in mass shootings like the Virginia Tech massacre and the attempted assassination of Representative Gifford.
Whatever new handgun the Army chooses to replace the M9, it will be destined to fire a more powerful cartridge than the Beretta’s 9mm. No matter how long it takes the Army to select a winning design and contract, there is one thing for sure. Once they do, you can expect to find an almost exact replica in the consumer market too.

Orchids are stunning plants that can bring beauty to any space. However, they can also be quite challenging to care for, especially when it comes to preventing and treating fungus.

What is Orchid Fungus?
Orchid fungus is a type of fungal infection that affects orchids. It can be caused by a variety of fungi, including Rhizoctonia, Fusarium, and Pythium. Orchid fungus can manifest in different ways, such as black or brown spots on leaves or flowers, yellowing of leaves, and wilted or rotting roots. Fungal infections can weaken the plant’s immune system, making it more vulnerable to other diseases and pests.
Treatment #1: Cinnamon Powder
Cinnamon powder is an effective and natural way to treat orchid fungus. Cinnamon has antifungal properties that can prevent the growth and spread of fungi. To use cinnamon powder, simply sprinkle it on the affected area of the plant. You can also mix cinnamon powder with water to create a paste and apply it directly to the infected area.

The online attack from other democratic countries have abused Thai people since the end of Thaksin government. The dark online users got paid to make websites said that Thailand was Absolute Monarchy. The foreigners may love to have fun to blame other people, because to hate something will has much more stuff to say than to love something. They will keep searching about bad words, and create more pages to gain the interesting.
As the meaning of “Thai” as I mentioned before, it means “Freedom”. King Prajadhipok or King Rama 7 signed for The Constitution of the Siam Kingdom on December, 10th 1932. It was for Democracy. In that date, democracy tended to have much more freedom than communism. Nowaday, if there was no the Red Shirt Protester, Thai people would have a lot of freedom as in New York City. Everyone can invest money for the business, and every can be famous. The kids can become rock stars. Many teenagers do the hip-hop dance on the street. We all have freedom.
Constitutional Monarchy is what we have. If it is not the most important case, Thai King will not come down to give a speech for the politicians. Thai King has never refused to sign for all Prime Ministers who got elected. If there was no corruption in some political parties, Thailand will have a perfect democracy at this point.
The day that Thai people will never forget is October, 14th 1973. Thai King Bhumibol Adulyadej gave a speech which can stop the dictators to kill Thai students. The situation is perfectly different from the today Red Shirt protesters, but they tried to make it look the same. Thai government in 1973 did a lot of corruption, but Abhisit does not. The protestors in 1973 are college/university students, but the Red Shirt protesters do not have a high educated. Those 1973 students needed the new election without cheating, but the Red Shirt need a dictator.
If the King did not help us at that date, we will never have democracy today. Nowadays, he tries to help us again, but some of us still do not know that they do not protest to get democracy. Current students have never cared about the politics. The Yellow Shirt people who the Red Shirt hate are the survivors on October, 14th 1973. They still love their country and democracy. They still hate the corruption.
Where is the current Thai student? Why don’t we see them protect our country?
** Most of them protect Thailand from the Red Shirt online. They are on Facebook. The problem is whatever they talk or write on Facebook are not public sources. 99% of them post their political idea in Thai language, so this does not help the foreigners to understand what happens in Thailand.
** Many students still do not care about the politics, and this is a big shame. They are interested in Korean pop stars. Many Thai people can dance better than them, but some Thai companies still paid million bahts to get Korean stars in their 10 seconds advertisement. This describe a part of fangirls who do not really care about the world.

Leftist Xiomara Castro was sworn in Thursday as the first woman president of Honduras after seemingly resolving a rebellion in her own party that had challenged her authority.
“I promise to be faithful to the Republic, to comply with and enforce the Constitution and its laws,” 62-year-old Castro said at a ceremony attended by international dignitaries and her choice for Congress president, Luis Redondo.
Redondo had been at the center of a disruptive rivalry within Castro’s Libre party, which is in a majority alliance in Congress.
Factions of Libre split on who should be the legislature’s new president and held rival sittings in the past week.
Castro needs a loyal Congress to carry out her election promises to tackle corruption, crime and poverty.
Her election last November brought an end to 12 years of right-wing National Party (PN) rule that followed the ousting of her husband, former president Manuel Zelaya, in a 2009 coup d’etat.

Cases reported in Colombia: 2,233,589
What are Coronaviruses?
Coronaviruses (CoV) are viruses that periodically arise in different areas of the world and cause Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI), that is, flu, which can be mild, moderate or severe. The new Coronavirus (COVID-19) has been classified by the World Health Organization as a Public Health Emergency of International Importance (ESPII). Cases have been identified on all continents and, on March 6, the first case was confirmed in Colombia.
How are they transmitted?
Infection occurs when a sick person coughs or sneezes and expels virus particles that come into contact with other people. This mechanism is similar among all Acute Respiratory Infections (ARI).
What have been the prevention measures adopted in our country?
The Ministry of Health and the National Institute of Health have defined guidelines for the screening of travelers entering the country, for the management of workers who come from countries with circulation of COVID - 19 and recommendations for people who travel from Colombia to countries with circulation of COVID - 19. Additionally, protocols have been defined for the Departmental and Municipal Health Secretariats to carry out joint work that allows us to detect and contain cases in the national territory. In turn, the EPS have received the necessary guidelines and support so that, in case of positive cases, we can provide timely attention, which allows us to obtain the necessary tests in time to detect cases.

Blue Heron Wetlands
Carleton Place, ON
Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust – 2023
Blue Heron Wetlands was protected by the Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust (MMLT) in 2023 thanks to the support of MapleCross and other generous funders, grants, and community donors.
The property spans 43 hectares, and adjoins three other properties that have been under MMLT’s protection since 2014. This creates a 365-hectare contiguous stretch of natural lands within the Scotch Corners Wetland Complex that will be protected in perpetuity for the benefit of the environment and future generations.
Blue Heron Wetlands is mostly an extensive marsh surrounding a central pond. The marsh is dominated by sedges, reeds, and cattails, which provide habitat for a wide range of animals including frogs, turtles, and muskrats. Many species of ducks, including Wood Ducks and Hooded Mergansers, nest in the marsh. Wading birds include both Great Blue Herons and Green Herons. There may also be as many as seven species of frogs, including Gray Treefrogs. Many species of tree occur near this wetland area, including hemlock, ash, and elm.
The upland areas around the pond have a forest that is typical for the region: maple, ironwood, oak, and basswood trees. It also has some less common species including American Beech, Black Cherry, Yellow Birch, Bur Oak, and Rock Elm. The forest floor has a dense carpet of sedges, lichens, and mosses covering the gneiss bedrock. These forests provide breeding habitat for birds that migrate from Central America to breed each summer, including species such as Ovenbirds and Rose-breasted Grosbeaks. The property also supports many other kinds of neotropical migrants including Scarlet Tanagers, Great-crested Flycatchers, Black-throated Green Warblers, and Northern Orioles. Year-round residents include Blue Jays, Pileated Woodpeckers, Hairy Woodpeckers, and Barred Owls. The forests also provide habitat for several species of salamander including Red-backed Salamanders.
The property provides habitat for multiple species that are at risk of extinction. These include: Blanding’s Turtle, Eastern Wood-pewee, Black Ash, and Butternut.
Students, researchers, and others interested in learning about wetland and forested environments are encouraged to engage with this special property.

“Contemporary lines” and “iconic flair”—that’s how Maserati describes the Quattroporte. After almost every single manufacturer has dipped their toes in the electric vehicle game, it’s Maserati’s turn. The Italians have been at the forefront of combining both luxury and power. Maserati has a rich heritage, and they know that. With 75 years of history, they make you aware of the fact that Maserati isn’t just some small player in the automotive world. They’re here to show you that the Italians aren’t simply known for their Ferraris and Lamborghinis.
Maserati has ambitious plans for its future lineups, electrifying most if not all of its cars. And the 2024 Maserati Quattroporte is one of those cars. Maserati is about to refresh its classic signature sedan into a 2024-era electric sedan. It is not confirmed if Maserati will offer gas-powered models for the four-door as well.
One thing is for sure: Maserati’s 2024 Quattroporte is on the radar, and it will be a fully electric sedan. In a world full of Teslas, a Maserati EV is lucid. The Quattroporte has always been an integral part of the Italian carmakers’ lineup. As of now, The sedan stands right between the 2-door GranTurismo Sports car, and the Levante SUV – both of which, are also offering a fully electric variant. So, the news of the Quattroporte—or “four-door,” as it translates in Italian—is pretty significant.
The Only Sedan From Maserati Will Be Electric
The current generation of the Maserati Quattroporte, much like the others in Maserati’s lineup, comes in a handful of different flavors: the GT, the Modena, the Modena Q4, and the Trofeo. This is expected for the 2024 Maserati Quattroporte as well. It is certain that there will be a fully electric Quattroporte. But how many electric variants are there? How many gas variants are there? And how powerful? Maserati hasn’t revealed that yet.
Maserati GranTurismo Folgore Gives Us Strong Clues
What is revealed is the Maserati GranTurismo Folgore. The upcoming 2024 Maserati Quattroporte is said to be a “stretched-out” version of the Maserati GranTurismo Folgore, as it always historically was. A more subtle GranTurismo, with four doors instead of two.
The GT features three electric motors, producing a combined 751 hp and 995.7 lb-ft of torque. And the 2024 Maserati Quattroporte isn’t going to be too far off that number. A little less powerful, to sacrifice all that speed and torque for more range and luxury. The 2024 Maserati Quattroporte is most likely going to retain the GranTurismo Folgore’s T-shaped 92.5 kWh battery pack, given that both cars basically use the same chassis. It will give it a low center of gravity and a long range.
It is suspected that the 2024 Maserati Quattroporte might sit between the Maserati GranTurismo Folgore and the Maserati’s new Grecale Folgore. The 2024 Maserati Quattroporte is expected to push out less than 760 peak horsepower. The interior of the Quattroporte is set to have all the modern and luxurious bells and whistles that Maserati is known for.
The 2024 Maserati Quattroporte is projected to cost from the $150,000 range, since the more powerful 2-door, Maserati GranTurismo Folgore costs from $170,000 to $250,000 range.
The Quattroporte has a lot riding on its shoulders, since it is about to become Maserati’s sole sedan. Because the production of the current, smaller, Maserati Ghibli, is set to end in 2024.
Maserati Has Ambitious Plans For The Future
If you’ve noticed us talking about Maserati’s new lineup, you can see that every new car has the term “Folgore” at the end of it. The word translates to “lightning” in Italian. And that seems to be the moniker Maserati is adopting for most, if not all, of its upcoming lineup. We’re pretty certain that the Quattroporte’s name will also feature the same term.
Maserati plans to have a future where all of its cars are going to be electric-only. The Folgore lineup is part of a bigger picture, though. Maserati’s parent company, Stellantis, has invested about 700 million euros (743 million USD) in the development of electric vehicles as part of their 2030 plan. As a result, Maserati wants to have a fully electric lineup by 2025 and to completely phase out combustion engines by the year 2030. Since, according to the CEO of Maserati, Davide Grasso, no one is going to want combustion-engine cars by then.
In an interview with Italian news reporters, Davide Grasso, the CEO of Maserati said:
“The speed at which this is happening depends on many different things; rules and regulations, social situations environmental situation, but this movement is happening,”
“Some countries some parts of the world very much moving faster, others are moving more slowly and this transition will require some time. What we are saying is that we are ready to actually move with the transition, allowing the customer to decide.”
Grasso has taken Stellantis’ 2030 plan to heart, his enthusiasm for the new future of Maserati makes one thing clear that, Maserati is going head-first and full speed into the EV game. Given the massive change, Maserati is going through, one thing will remain certain, every Maserati will be made in Italy and that is a promise from the CEO himself.

Struggling bars and restaurants in London will be at a crossroads at the end of this week. It's a few days before the end of the programme of road closures in Soho and Covent Garden that has permitted restaurants and bars to put tables in the streets for the first time.
Soho was transformed into an alfresco dining district, but as winter is fast approaching, streets in the cold and rain are virtually empty and with the prospect of a further lockdown many businesses who have tried so hard to make it pay, look like being forced to close up - this time for good.

More than 40 ancient objects are being lent to the UK by museums in Peru for a major exhibition aiming to show there is a lot more to the country’s history than the Incas.
The British Museum said the loan of the items, some of which date from over 3,000 years ago, was unprecedented.
The exhibition will include the Incan empire, which existed between 1400 and the Spanish conquest of 1532. But it will also shine a light on the ancient Peruvian societies which went before: the Chavin, who date back to 1200BC, followed by the Nasca, the Moche, the Chimu and the Wari.
Curators said the exhibition would explore how ancient peoples thrived in a country which is one of the most challenging and geographically diverse in the world. On the Pacific coast there is arid desert, then some of the highest mountains in the Andes and in the east there is tropical Amazonian forest.
Jago Cooper, head of the Americas at the British Museum, said when you talk to the UK public about ancient Peru, “they might have heard of Machu Picchu, but that is about it”. The aim was to explore cultures people “may never have heard of before”.
He said: “What’s important is that these cultures developed completely independently from the rest of the world so it is an exhibition that challenges how society itself can be constructed.”
The items include a particularly stunning 2,500-year-old gold headdress and a pair of ear plates which were part of an elite burial. They are decorated with embossed motifs of human faces with feline fangs and snakes.
The oldest object is a ceremonial vessel from the Cupisnique culture, who lived on what is now Peru’s Pacific northern coast. Thought to date from 1200BC, its shape is a contorted human body, possibly representing someone born with a disease which causes loose limbs and unusual flexibility – a revered ability.
There is also a Nasca ceremonial drum from around 100BC-AD650, depicting the capture of defeated enemies in ritual combat.
The Nasca people lived in Peru’s inhospitable southern deserts. Cecilia Pardo, the show’s co-curator, said they performed some of the most complex funerary practices and produced some of the “most amazing textiles” in the whole of the ancient world.
One 2,000-year-old funerary blanket, coming from Lima, looks like it could have been computer-generated yesterday. It shows human figures in golden feline masks carrying severed heads.
The blanket would have been one of 50 layers – blankets, shawls, headdresses and so on – wrapped around an important man or woman on their death and was from one of more than 429 funerary bundles discovered at one site in 1924.
There will also be 90 objects from the British Museum’s own collections, many of which have not been on display.
It includes a miniature gold figure of a llama from about 1500. It was most likely left as an offering to the mountain gods, accompanying a human sacrifice.
Discussions about having a major Peru exhibition have been going on for about a decade. The pandemic has meant that a lot of the organising has taken place via Zoom and WhatsApp.
Pardo hopes visitors will discover how ancient Peruvian societies had unique approaches to economy, gender, agriculture, power and beliefs “and how they thrived against the odds right up until the Inca conquest by the Spanish.
“It will be eye-opening and will challenge common western assumptions about how societies are constructed.”
It is the first major exhibition that the British Museum has ever staged on Peru and is supported by its tourism board, Promperu. It coincides with the 200th anniversary of the country’s independence.

Libel: Israeli Border Police Celebrated Killing Palestinian By Eating Donuts
The lie does not end there. These propagandists are suggesting they somehow “celebrated” with donuts. But it is clear those “donuts” are sufganiyot, which Jews eat during Chanukah. Their eating sufganiyot is not at all connected to their brave act.
We do not hand out food to enjoy after palestinian Arabs – even terrorists – are killed. That’s a palestinian thing.
And so is deliberately lying, which is what they’ve just been caught doing yet again.

There are several words which when combined make my salivate with anticipation. “Mid mod” and “country home” are combinations that definitely tweak my interest but “mid mod country home” definitely has my quivering. Add in “Shelter Island” and well it’s all over. What’s that commandment? “Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s goods.” When it comes to this wonderful holiday home then I’m definitely a sinner.
