Owning a dog comes with a huge responsibility. In some cases, people find it really hard to care for their dogs. This was observed when Atlanta Humane Society’s Animal Protection Unit was notified about a property in Georgia.
The rescuers found a total of 167 German Shepherd dogs living in horrible conditions. Numerous dogs, row after row, were locked in small filthy pens. The dogs stood in 6-inches of mud and looked at the rescue workers with sad eyes.
Rescue workers took swift action and loaded the vulnerable dogs into their vans, and got them the medical help that they desperately needed. The dogs were then distributed to several shelters after they were treated.
The dogs brought to the shelter were curious about the new living environment and wanted to connect with the humans. However, they were scared and did not know what to do.
The volunteers at the shelter had to sit with the dogs in their kennel to understand that it was a safe place and no one was going to hurt them.
One of the dogs, named Beetle, was very nervous and used to pace around the kennel. So, the rescue worker sat with the dog for about 25 minutes. He gradually started to come close within a short time and began trusting humans once again.
Beetle was cleared for adoption and found his forever home. His new owners Donald and Julie, named him Teddy. However, the owners did face some challenges of taking in a traumatized dog. Still, with a lot of patience and hard work, Teddy is now adjusting to his new life and is living happily.

No. 2 Kansas 86, Southern Meth. 53
DALLAS (AP) _ Terry Brown hit four 3-pointers and scored 14 points to lead second-ranked Kansas to an 86-53 victory Wednesday night over badly-outshot Southern Methodist.
Kansas (8-0) trailed only once as it had six players in double figures. Mark Randall, Pekka Markkanen, and Kevin Pritchard had 12 points apiece while Freeman West and Mike Maddox added 10 each.
SMU (1-4) was led by Reginald Muhammad who had 13 points and Vernon Perdue, who chipped in with 10.
Kansas outshot SMU 57 percent to 37 percent and outrebounded the Mustangs 33-28.
SMU’s 3-2 zone bothered Kansas at times in the first half before Brown and Pritchard solved it with two 3-pointers each.
Kansas rolled to an 8-0 lead, fell behind 11-10, then surged to a 34-20 halftime lead. The Jayhawks outscored SMU 14-6 to end the first half.
SMU played without its leading scorer, forward John Colborne, who is averaging 18 points and 7 rebounds. Colborne sat out the game with a sprained ankle he sustained in practice.

I am not a very good passenger. I worry a lot and anticipate the worst possible scenarios, playing them over and over in my head. I work really hard not to pass this all on to the driver (my husband): I draw, I sew, I hold my special rock (really) and I close my eyes. This is not a reflection on Dan's driving, I just don't think we are meant to be propelling large metal machines at high speeds down roads with thousands of other large metal machines. All of these soft bodied, wide-eyed, distractable beings, operating crazy powerful hunks of metal - where are our shells?? It's just something I don't get.
It really helps me to be distracted by a good story. We usually listen to audio books for hours on long road trips, but due to a snafu, the stories on our i-pods are completely jumbled. We stuck with Huckleberry Finn for about half an hour before we confessed to each other that we really had no idea what was going on. Bummer. We were looking at three really long days at the top of our trip - Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas and eastern Colorado - without stories? DANG.
Ani was unfazed; Dan loaded her ipod with several Beatles albums before we left and when we tired of listening to them, she put on her headphones and put Help on repeat, singing loudly to her favorites.
We needed a story.
Before we left, I made a last minute decision to ask Dan to stop by the library to pick up a few books I had on hold, and we brought them along. Now, here is where I should have really started this post, and it could have sounded something like this:
Knowing that our homeschooling family of four would be taking a road trip to the northwest this summer, I decided to plot a route that followed the trail of Lewis and Clark. Along the way we will be reading carefully chosen excerpts of their journals and studying the landscape outside our windows with a historical perspective.
But I would have been totally lying. It was a fluke, except that I was looking for good novels about the American West for us to read at some point this summer. What I didn't realize is that I found the perfect novel to accompany us on our trip. Sacagawea by Joseph Bruchac is a wonderful fictional telling of the journey of Sacagawea, Lewis and Clark and their "Corps of Discovery" in the early 1800's. Bruchac alternates chapters between Sacagawea's voice and the voice of William Clark, as they tell the story of their journey to Pomp, Sacagawea's son.
Frustrated with our lack of audio books (to tell the truth, I was a little panicked), I rummaged in the library bag and found this book. When I opened it I saw the map of their journey, which started in St. Louis. Hey wait a minute! We're almost to St. Louis! We crossed the Missouri as we read about the expedition's magnificent gun-laden boat, and picked up their trail again in Wyoming as we drove through the Wind River Reservation where Sacagawea's grave site is. We saw the Yellowstone river, drove through Three Forks where the Shoshone people were from, and followed their trail through the Lolo Pass from Montana into Idaho, along the Lochsa river down to the Snake River, where they stayed with the Nez Perce, waiting for the snows on the pass to subside. Every time we cracked the book, we exclaimed - hey! We're looking at that! We're seeing bison! Do you think they were that huge back then? We're watching a bear feeding on a bison carcass, just like they did along the river after the spring thaw!
I did not plan it and I could not have planned it better had I tried. It was almost eerie how good a match this book was for our trip. Serendipitous.
|grasslands around Hell's Gate, Idaho|
Our last night of camping before we reached Seattle, we stayed at the western edge of Idaho, on the Snake River. We pulled into our campground, called Hell's Gate, which I'd found online the night before, and drove right up to the Lewis and Clark Discover Center. We were sleeping next to a site where there had been a Nez Perce village that hosted the expedition, two hundred years ago.
|osprey nest on the Snake river, Idaho|
We read the final chapters as we drove along the Columbia river, finally turning north where the expedition travelled south. After so many days with Sacagawea on my mind it was sad to have her story end. I found the story so much more engaging, being able to picture the muddy river of the Missouri and the area where the Shoshone hid in the mountains until it was safe to make a quick visit to the plains for a buffalo hunt.
It has not escaped my notice that before we leave the northwest we will be passing by Fort Clatsop and Cape Disappointment, places where the expedition stayed when they finally reached the Great Water That Tastes Bad. Maybe our parallel journey hasn't quite come to an end...

Ray Ryan (born 1965)
Ray Ryan was born and raised in Plymouth, Massachusetts. He lived on the west coast for twenty years where he worked as a Victorian house painter. Ryan’s fascination with volcanoes has been a life-long passion. Living in California and Seattle, he has hiked through and explored volcanic areas searching for precious gems produced by volcanoes. He is awed by the beauty and power of this natural phenomenon and has been inspired by the grandeur of Mount Rainier and Mount St Helens. Ryan’s intricately detailed and colorful drawings of volcanoes, are painstakingly created using permanent pen and Prisma color on Bristol board. The execution of a drawing can take between 150 – 200 hours to complete. Leaving virtually no space untouched on the page, one must look closely to discover the narratives at play in Ryan’s volcanic environments. Men in space ships, space lizards, planets, and ancient pyramids mysteriously inhabit these fantastic worlds. Ryan looks forward to returning to the West Coast where he first tapped into the energy that has taken him on his journey as a visual artist.

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - A Wisconsin Assembly committee is considering a bill that could make it easier for local government clerks to find poll workers – but could also make the voting process more political.
A public hearing was held Tuesday in Madison on a bill in which communities could bring in poll workers from their home counties, instead of just their municipal limits.
Local clerks would keep their ability to assign workers to specific polling places. The parties have been able to nominate poll workers for years, and there have been reports that such nominations have increased as politics have become more partisan.
Now, Assembly Republican Don Pridemore of Hartford says he wants to make sure both parties are represented equally at the polls. He says it would help to expand the recruiting territory, and increase the numbers of poll workers available.
Democrats and some clerks say it might result in more partisanship at the polls.
But State Government Accountability Board director Kevin Kennedy says many of those nominated often don’t want to serve. He says many don’t want to undergo the required training to be poll workers – or they don’t like where they would be assigned.

2. Infinitely Impressive
This infinity pool blends so seamlessly with the overlooking lake, it’s hard to tell where the pool ends and the lake begins!
The vanishing edge and custom railing mimic the sweeping panorama that surrounds the setting, providing continuity. The pool sits on a cantilevered travertine deck, allowing plenty of room to recline, relax, and enjoy the view.

3. Geometric Gem
From the blazing linear fire pit and glass-tiled spa edge to the trio of elevated laminar fountains, this pool definitely wows!
The geometric design, complete with a wide swimout on the left (also called a Baja shelf or sun shelf) and built-in bench seating at the right make this luxurious masterpiece the perfect hub for relaxation and entertaining.

4. Rockin’ Resort
This massive tropical oasis brings the fun and allure of a vacation resort to this Texas home.
Overlooking Lake Livingston, the pool includes a center island with landscaping connected by a large moss-rock bridge. A waterslide and waterfall are nestled in the middle cove of the pool. The pool also features a beach entry, adding to the style of a tropical lagoon.

5. Extraordinary Edge
What started as a remodel for some major improvements, quickly transformed into a masterpiece of design. The pool builder removed and rebuilt the spa, giving it an octagon shape, dark finish, and a raised perimeter-overflow design.
This photo shows that pool’s infinity edge is spectacular at all angles. As you walk down the lit stairs on the left, you see that the catch pool has a series of semi-circular “steps,” which create a striking water feature as water flows over the weir wall. Two firebowls on either side of the pool sync perfectly with the lighting on the stairs of the surrounding deck.

6. Island Inspired
This lagoon-style pool may reside in Texas, but it has all the elements of a tropical getaway.
From the natural stone waterfalls, beach entry, and deep blue water to the stacked stone spa and lush landscaping, the poolscape appears to have been lifted right out of an exclusive island resort. The use of uplighting on the trees, as well as interior lighting in the pool and spa, creates beautiful evening ambiance.

IT'S A space where the community can come together as one ... where stories are shared and all are welcome.
Members of the indigenous community, students, teachers and community members gathered at Toolooa State High School on Tuesday for the unveiling of the much-awaited Yarning Circle.
The Yarning Circle was designed by Toolooa High in consultation with local indigenous elders.
Construction was made possible largely to a $45,000 grant from the QGC Sustainable Communities Fund.
Principal Alan Whitfield described the day as an important milestone in the school's history.
"The space will encourage communicating and connecting with the land," Mr Whitfield said.
"This project really reflects Toolooa's commitment to providing a variety of learning opportunities, particularly an enhanced understanding of both the nation's past and ongoing relationships between indigenous and non-indigenous Australians."
Indigenous elder Jacqueline Johnson said yesterday was a day of recognition.
"It is recognition of Aboriginal people, allowing us to have a prominent place in the school," she said.
"You see it, you can come now - it's opened the way for us to come together to talk to each and share our dreams."
Mr Whitfield said the space will be used as an outdoor classroom.
"Discussion is a strategy used by teachers," he said.
"The Yarning Circle model is highly regarded as a powerful process of lifelong learning and a process that can be transferred to high school education."
What is a Yarning Circle?
The Yarning Circle is the traditional method of communication for indigenous cultures, sitting on the land in a circle, using message sticks and a storyboard.

Do you know why the rooster is a symbol of France and the French people?
The French rooster has had a special and a long-standing association with being the symbol of France and its people.
The rooster has had a special and a long-standing association with being the symbol of France and its people.
It was the French Revolution that established the rooster as a fitting symbol to represent the identity of the people of France, and although briefly replaced with the eagle by Napoleon, the rooster returned during the First World War to represent resistance and bravery in the face of the Prussian eagle. The rooster, coming from peasant origins with a proud and courageous character, perfectly depicted the ideals of the French people and how they wished others to see them.
Today, the rooster remains a national symbol of France, although not an official one and a quintessential french country decor symbol, decorating bake wear, soft furnishings and other homewares.

How could it be acceptable for Catholics to attend a same-sex ‘wedding’?
March 2, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) -- Before we address the question posed in the title, another more familiar one comes to mind: May Catholics attend a family member’s heterosexual wedding if it’s known to be invalid? Some theologians argue that if the foreseeable result of not attending the wedding will be a definitive rupture with our loved one, then attendance is acceptable, provided we make our disagreement known to him or her in some way. More traditional theologians argue that even with that proviso, the very fact of attendance inevitably signals a message of “we’re-basically-OK-with-this” to the family member and everyone else present at the ceremony and subsequent festivities.
One of the most respected moral theologians of recent times, the late Germain Grisez, adopted this stricter position unequivocally. In regard to attending a family member’s marriage that cannot be valid because one (or both) of the parties is divorced without a decree of nullity, Grisez argued that any participation at all in such an event is a serious counter-witness to the indissolubility of marriage, which is part of our faith, and will cause scandal by encouraging others to justify and perhaps imitate this gravely sinful decision. He concludes that while family members should make clear their continuing love and respect for their erring child, grandchild or sibling, they “should not cooperate with the wedding ceremony, attend it, or give the couple a wedding gift” (The Way of the Lord Jesus, vol. III, p. 172).
Grisez’s book, subtitled Difficult Moral Questions, does not address Catholics’ attendance at same-sex weddings. This is understandable because it was published in 1997, before such “marriages” existed legally in any jurisdiction on earth. But it is obvious he would have been strongly opposed to Catholic attendance at such events, since his arguments against participating in invalid heterosexual weddings apply equally if not more forcefully to those involving two "gays" or lesbians.
Since the U.S. Supreme Court imposed same-sex “marriage” on the whole nation in 2015, this question of attendance at such ceremonies is becoming increasingly pressing for many American Catholic families. But since the Church’s magisterium has unfortunately not handed down any clear and explicit judgment on this point so far, and since theologians are far from unanimous about it, the faithful are left by default to arrive at their own decision as best they can.
Openly pro-homosexual clerics such as Fr. James Martin, SJ, strongly advocate attendance at these “weddings,” while some other less radical teachers are justifying it if family members fear a definitive rupture with their loved one if they don’t attend. One moral theology professor I know who’s quite conservative in most respects recently commended the following “creative” decision of a Catholic father he knew. Asked by his daughter to attend her upcoming lesbian wedding, the father told her that while he didn’t agree with the step she was taking, he would be there at the wedding to “support” her – but would not walk her down the aisle.
However, as one who has taught moral theology at seminary level for many years, I would argue that such "middle-of-the-road" compromises (or others, like attending either the wedding ceremony or the reception, but not both) are morally unjustifiable. While we should never reject or vilify a family member who enters such a union, we must always respectfully and lovingly decline the invitation to take part in their public and formal entry into a relationship that is gravely immoral. (It’s also worth noting that angrily breaking off all ties with family members who decline to attend invalid or same-sex weddings is not always something that will last forever. Patience and continuing signs of love will often ease the way to reconciliation after some months or years.)
As we’ve already noted, mainstream Catholic tradition was always against attendance at invalid heterosexual weddings. And the objections to attendance at same-sex ceremonies are even stronger.
First, Scripture and Tradition teach us that homosexual relations are more seriously sinful than those established by invalid heterosexual weddings (i.e., fornication or adultery). St. Thomas Aquinas points out that because homosexual acts are unnatural – that is, they manifestly contradict the Creator’s biological purpose in making us male and female – they are more gravely sinful than those which at least remain open to the gift of new life (Summa Theologiae IIa IIae, Q. 154, art. 12). The Catechism of the Catholic Church, too, recalls that this vice of Sodom is one of the biblical “sins that cry to heaven for vengeance” (#1867).
Secondly, a same-sex wedding is far more obviously contrary to the moral law than an invalid heterosexual marriage. Indeed, the invalidity of the latter is usually not at all evident to many or most of those present at the ceremony. But the spectacle of two women, or two men, making solemn vows up front, then kissing and processing out happily hand-in-hand, is self-evidently unnatural.
Thirdly, yielding to our loved ones’ demands for attendance will constitute a perilous surrender in the current front lines of the relentless culture war against Christian marriage and family life. At this moment, in education, politics, law, commerce, entertainment and the media, there is a highly organized, vitriolic and increasingly intolerant ‘LGBTQ’ campaign against anyone who dares to criticize the homosexual lifestyle. And if attendance at same-sex weddings becomes accepted within the Catholic Church, those believers who continue speaking truth to power on this issue will only find themselves ever more rigorously marginalized, excluded, and penalized as “haters,” “bigots,” and “homophobes.”
Finally, even if it can be anticipated that refusal to participate in a same-sex wedding will indeed lead to the permanent estrangement of a loved one, we must remember and observe Jesus’ demanding teaching about religious tensions within families: “Do you suppose I came to establish peace on earth? No indeed, I have come to bring division” (Lk 12:51). The Lord, destined to be a “sign of contradiction” (Lk. 2:34), then goes on to spell out various family relationships that will sometimes be disrupted because of him (vv. 52-53). Again, he teaches us (using Hebraic hyperbole) that unless we are prepared to “hate” our “father and mother, wife and children, brother and sisters” for his sake, we cannot be his disciples (cf. Lk. 14:26).
In short, now that powerful elites in the giant corporations, the media, federal and state governments, Hollywood and Silicon Valley are becoming ever more hostile to biblical teaching and the natural moral law in matters of the Fifth and Sixth Commandments, this is a time to be courageously counter-cultural by resisting in word and deed the relentless pressure to “make gay OK.”

VH1 Save The Music Foundation celebrated its 20th anniversary in grand style Monday night by hosting its 20th Anniversary Gala in New York City. Queen Latifah was honored at the event for her contributions to the world of music and commitment to providing low-income students with opportunities to pursue an education.
Queen Latifah and the foundation had recently announced a five-year, $5 million project to rebuild music in 38 schools in the city. At the gala, the foundation also presented Steve Aoki with the Music Innovator Award for his impact on the music industry, his leadership as a philanthropist through the Steve Aoki Charitable Fund, and role as an outspoken advocate for music education. Also, Toyota, which served as an event sponsor, presented DJ Khaled with the #ToyotaGiving Award for his role as a champion for music programs in schools and involvement as national spokesperson for VH1 Save The Music sister organization Get Schooled.
“I am deeply humbled by the opportunity to be a part of the amazing work that VH1 Save The Music does,” said Queen Latifah. “This is bigger than just teaching kids how to play instruments. It’s about using music to bring communities together and giving all children a shot at a brighter future. This work can’t stop until every child can access music programs as part of their education.”
VH1 Save The Music unveiled a new grant program that will broaden the range of opportunities for students across the country and advance the foundation’s mission to make music available in every public school in America. Introduced by Aoki, the Music Tech Grant is planned as an investment in American public high schools to fund: the hardware, software, and musical instruments needed for audio engineering, recording, and production.
“Not all children in America are afforded the same chances to succeed, but we believe in the power of music to help students fulfill their potential. That’s why we are more committed than ever to bringing music education to students who need it most,” said Henry Donahue, executive director of the VH1 Save The Music Foundation. “Not only is music education proven to help students be more successful, but we believe it’s every child’s right to access music and art within their school and community. With the continued support of our partners in communities across the United States, we can help make music an essential piece of every child’s education in the next 20 years.”

Effects Of The Black Death Essay
The plague had taken so many human lives that none of the wars did. Now many think this is just one of the diseases which can be treated. But imagine 14th and 15th century, the fear on faces of people that appeared after the word “plague”. Coming from Asia, the Black Death in Europe killed a third of the population. In 1346 – 1348 year in Western Europe was raging the bubonic plague. 25 million people died.
The cause of its retreat could be three factors:
- The fire of London
- The changing of the seasons
- An improved sanitation
So, let’s find out what was true from this Black Death essay.
Before you start reading this essay, I want to advise you professional essay writers UK. These people will solve any problems and help you to write any paper.
How did it begin?
I will start the Black Death essay with the short history. Some scientists say that Black Death got its name through the dark purple and black spots that appeared on the body of the sufferer or that exposed on the body of the dead from this disease. It kept in the slavery the Western civilization for several generations. In the summer of 1346 in Europe were alarming reports from the East. Merchants conducted business with the people that were bringing spices and tea from India and China and that told horrible stories which nobody believed at first. But then there were also witnesses. They testified that there began a “punishment from God”, that people die in three days, they were covered with painful sores and spots, and they became black immediately after death.
- By 1346 it had reached the Caucasus and the Crimea.
- A terrible disease that was leaving on the bodies black as coal spots appeared first in the Taurian Peninsula and spread around the coast of Pontus, then it has penetrated into Thrace, Macedonia, Greece, Italy, Mediterranean Islands, Egypt, Libya, Judea, Syria.
- In the autumn of 1347 the blow fell on Alexandria and appeared in Marseilles.
- By the end of 1348, Italy was covered with the plague and its dreadful breath began to be felt in France. The plague came from the depths of Asia and fell upon France meaner than upon all other cities of Europe. Entire townships were deserted and there left only huts. By August, the infection had spread to Switzerland and England, where it was brought by ship from Calais. This ship moored in the port of Dorchester.
- By the end of 1349, the plague had touched Ireland, Scotland, Denmark and most part of Germany. Norwegian ships brought it to Iceland, where the entire population became extinct.
- Poland and Russia were contaminated to 1351.
The number of deaths has grown at an astronomical rate. In Italy died half of the population. Victims of the disease were 9 out 10 people in London. In 1348 because of the plague died 1 244 434 residents of Germany. To 1386, in the Russian city, that is called Smolensk now, remained only 5 people.
Writing this essay, I thought that it will be useful to remind you about the health. This essay on health describes in details what people should do to stay healthy.
Whence it came?
For the first time in the 14th century the Black Death erupted in the Gobi desert approximately in 1320. No one knows why. The germs of plague existed and were active long before the epidemic. I would like to mention in essays on the Black Death that Europe had suffered a plague epidemic in the 6th century also. However, the disease was lurking and nothing reminded about its all that ages. It is known that the Earth’s climate started getting cooler in the 14th century and perhaps this so-called little Ice Age had a direct relation to the plague. As you know, every outbreak always comes out; it means that disease is not local. At that time, the plague moved to the West and it spread in all directions. The peoples of Asia carried the disease very hard. In China, for example, the population decreased from 125 million to 90 million during the 14th century. The plague moved West; on the way of convoys. The plague also came with the trading ships and moved as fast as on land.
What were the symptoms?
As you could understand, the next point of Black Death essays is symptoms of this disease:
- When Plague got the human body, it didn’t cause clinical manifestations of the disease from several hours to 3 – 6 days.
- The disease begins suddenly with the rising temperature to 39 – 40 centigrade (102, 2 – 104 degrees Fahrenheit).
- There is a strong headache, dizziness, often nausea and vomiting. Patients worried about insomnia and there hallucinations appeared.
- Also, there are black spots on the body and rotting ulcers around the neck.
It is the plague. Did medieval medicine know how to treat it? Let’s look how people treated and fought with the disease:
- Some doctors pumped blood in big amounts from people who were sick by this disease. It did not help, but rather just killed them.
- In the later Middle Ages with the plague fought the Great Nostradamus, who told patients that they have to drink spring water, spend time in the fresh air and to consume medication, which he did on the basis of medicinal herbs. Nostradamus fought the plague, but couldn’t save his family. Wife and his two boys died. Soon Nostradamus was accused of heresy and he fled from Italy.
- French physician De Chauliac dissected abscesses and cauterized the opened wounds by a red-hot poker. This primitive method of cleaning gave the result, if the person did not die of a heart attack, didn’t fall into irreversible shock, and didn’t go crazy because of pain.
- Also, there was a problem of “poisoned areas” – those places where people died because of the plague. People poured milk in a large shallow dish and left it in the middle of the infested room to absorb the contaminated air.
- The most effective method of combating with the plague was a tradition to establish in the ports the quarantine for arriving ships. The ships were instructed for 40 days to remain at anchor. It prevented the spread of plague in the towns by the fault of the seamen, but often the ships during this time were deserted, as the infected by plague team died.
It was a hard time for the world when by such monstrous way were reduced the population, including in Europe. The only weapon that could eradicate the plague was sanitation. It was applied only in 1666, when plague suddenly disappeared. Some people believed that the reason for its end was a fire in London, some – changing seasons. But few realized at that time that the reason for the end of plague was soap and water. I hope you liked my essay on the Black Death.
When I was writing this essay I used the help of professionals. I want to advise you it too because it is far more than just an essay writing service. If you want get high grades, then hurry up and use it.

It looked like Disney Animation was dead in the water for a while there. Sure, Pixar has had the company’s back for almost two decades now. In terms of movies that were solely produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios, though, it was a bit of a downhill spiral from “Pocahontas” in 1995 to “Chicken Little” in 2005. While there were some under appreciated gems in the mix like “The Hunchback of Notre Dame,” nothing took audiences by storm like “Beauty and the Beast” or “The Lion King” did.

One of the wackiest Doom Patrol characters was Dorothy the Ape-Faced Girl, aka Dorothy Spinner. Now, it seems ‘Doom Patrol’ series star Timothy Dalton has confirmed that she will be appear in the live action DC Universe show.
“We’ve just done an episode that we finished last week that took us to the far north of the continent, North Yukon, where I meet an extraordinary young woman who is very hairy and may be even considered pre-human.
This is an almost perfect description of Dorothy, whose power is to bring ideas from her mind to life. In the comics, the first we saw of this was when she brought an imaginary family to life. IMDb lists the characters “Pretty Polly,” “Daddy,” and “Silver Tongue,” for episode nine. These names aren’t exactly the same ones as the imaginary family in the comics, but they’re very close. It’s possible this is the episode we see Dorothy in.
The first episode of ‘Doom Patrol’ is streaming on DC Universe now.


Here we consider the problem of finding the equilibrium configurations of a rotating liquid drop, paying special attention to the cases when the droplet takes the shape of a Delaunay surface. By making use of the canonical forms of the elliptic integrals and the Jacobian elliptic functions we have derived several explicit parameterizations of the Delaunay surfaces. They are expressed relying on two independent real parameters accounting respectively the size and the shape so that all possible Delaunay surfaces are represented in a unified way.

Hermaphrodites dating in dating older
Plentyoffish dating forums are a place to meet singles and get dating advice or share dating experiences etc.Hopefully you will all have fun meeting singles and try out this online dating thing...Thank you, Daniel Yours is an intriguing question, Daniel, about which I unfortunately know nothing.So I've asked one of our Reasonable Faith volunteers who has done some thinking in this area to address your question.Let me preface my comments by saying that I'm not an expert in this matter; nonetheless, I'll do my best to think clearly about the issues.I'll take your questions one at a time (I've re-worded some).They're the too often forgotten "I" at the end of LGBTQI, but according to the Intersex Society of North America, 1 in every 100 people is born with a body that doesn't fit what we typically think of as "male" or "female." Although some intersex people are identified at birth based on the appearance of their genitalia, others discover their status when puberty hits (or doesn't hit), and others still reach old age without ever learning about their condition. Woman A: Being intersex means being born with some characteristics that don't neatly fit into the "normal" spectrum of human sexual development (were there such a thing).
Wm LCYour questions are good and important ones, Daniel, and unfortunately the Christian community at large tends to avoid questions like these.
I don't have an official diagnosis, and often with intersex condition, that's the case.
The best I could get is gonadal dysgenesis, which is a fancy way of saying that my gonads (would-be ovaries or testes in the womb) never developed into anything.
To get to the point, what is the moral thing to do for a hermaphrodite? If they decide to engage in a relationship, how will they determine which sex to date? I am well aware of what the bible has to say about engaging in homosexual activity, but would it be considered moral for someone who has both reproductive organs to choose which gender to date?
Does a hermaphrodite know their true sexual identity? I hope you can provide a Christian perspective on this matter because this question has troubled me for quite some time.

The United States State Department and the US Embassy in Warsaw invited a representative of the ‘NEVER AGAIN’ Association to participate in the prestigious International Visitor Leadership Program devoted to combatting violent extremism. During the three weeks (18 May – 8 June 2019) spent in Washington, Chattanooga, Montgomery, San Francisco and Boston, Dr. Anna Tatar took part in a series of meetings with representatives of various American institutions, NGOs, journalists and leaders of local communities.
– ‘America is a country built by immigrants from many places around the world and I was able to observe what such diversity means. We met many people who had come to the USA from the farthest corners of the globe, as well as first, or next generations immigrants born in the States. Respect for the fact that their identity may be complex and subject to personal choices is one of the most important contemporary issues,’ said Ms. Tatar. – ‘At the same time, racial discrimination is still a serious problem, which is manifested most of all in the American justice system. One of the frequent topics of our discussions was the violent behaviour of the police towards Afro-American citizens.’
During her stay in the USA, Anna Tatar visited places with significant ties to the history of slavery and racial persecution, including Montgomery, Alabama, which in the nineteenth century was the centre of slave trade. She visited the Baptist church at Dexter Avenue, known for its famous pastor, Civil Rights activist and Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Dr Martin Luther King Jr. She was honoured to meet Mrs. Jeannie Graetz, who together with her husband, Rev. Robert Graetz, supported the so-called bus boycott (a peaceful protest against racial segregation on the public transport system) and then became a leading figure in the Civil Rights movement in the 1950s and 1960s.
The ‘NEVER AGAIN’ representative also visited the US Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington DC and the All Dulles Area Muslim Society (ADAMS) Centre, which is one of the largest mosques and Muslim culture centres in the USA. At the editorial office of ‘TIME’ magazine she had the opportunity to take part in discussions about the standards of public debate and the levels of hate speech in Poland and the USA. During these meetings, she presented the activities of the ‘NEVER AGAIN’ Association and referred to the examples of xenophobic violence documented in the ‘Brown Book’ prepared by the Association.
Following her US trip, on 14 June, Anna Tatar participated in an international conference on hate speech organized in Vienna by The World of NGOs together with the Faculty of Political Science of Vienna University. As a member of the discussion panel, the representative of ‘NEVER AGAIN’ elaborated on the long-term activities undertaken by the Association against the spread of racist propaganda on the Internet. She talked about the problem of inadequate enforcement of the laws against the propagation of hatred. As an example, she described the fascist concerts which have been freely organized in Poland for many years now.
On May 29, 2019, the Warsaw-Praga District Court dismissed criminal proceedings brought against Anna Tatar. She had been accused of libel in connection with critical statements made about an extreme-nationalist event known as the Eagle’s Nest Festival. The court upheld the verdict of the court of first instance and confirmed that there was a ‘complete lack of factual grounds for the accusation’. It was emphasised in the judgement that the representative of the ‘NEVER AGAIN’ Association had the right to speak in a legitimate defence of the public interest.
In May 2019, Anna Tatar and Joanna Naranowicz were awarded prizes by the Australian-based Jerzy Boniecki Independent Foundation for the Promotion of Polish Culture (Polcul) for their roles in the activities of ‘NEVER AGAIN’. The award ceremony took place at the Warsaw Uprising Museum on 25 May. Joanna Naranowicz is a vocalist of the rock band Qulturka and the animator of the ‘Music Against Racism’ campaign – she received a distinction for ‘the continuous and extremely effective propagation of pluralism and tolerance, and her efforts in combating ethnic and religious prejudices’. Anna Tatar received one for ‘propagating tolerance and pluralism in relation to ethnic and religious minorities and for her journalistic and scientific work over many years relating to the sources of xenophobia and racist violence.’
The ‘NEVER AGAIN’ Association is an independent organization established in Warsaw in 1996. ‘NEVER AGAIN’ has campaigned against racism, antisemitism and xenophobia, for peace, intercultural dialogue and human rights both in Poland and internationally.

Lion dancing for everyone in New York during Chinese New Year | Video(Updated: )
The lion dance dates back to the third century and still plays a big role in Chinese New Year celebrations. It’s a tradition typically performed by men but some dance troupes in New York are encouraging women to play a more active role.
As William Denselow reports, it’s part of a larger effort to share these ancient celebrations with a wider audience.


About the film
In October 2015, Detroit rocker Alice Cooper reunited with the surviving members of his original band, thanks to the efforts of superfan and Dallas-based Good Records store owner Chris Penn, who convinced the group to perform a secret gig on the store’s pink turf-covered stage. Cooper is joined by bassist Dennis Dunaway, guitarist Michael Bruce and drummer Neal Smith — plus Ryan Roxie, a member of Cooper’s current band, who stepped in for original member Glen Buxton, who died in 1997. They delivered an epic performance, 40 years after originally breaking up, that was later released as a live recording for Record Store Day. The documentary “Live From the Astroturf” contains footage from the performance plus interviews with the participants. Michigan premiere.

Aamir Khan starrer Lal Singh Chaddha seems to be caught in a legal trouble. A Delhi-based lawyer has filed a complaint with Delhi Police Commissioner Sanjay Arora against Aamir Khan, Paramount Pictures and others over the film. The lawyer alleges that Aamir has insulted the Indian Army and hurt the sentiments of Hindu society with his film Lal Singh Chaddha.
Lawyer Vineet Jindal in his complaint to Delhi Police has said that the film contains objectionable scenes. In such a situation, there has been a demand to register an FIR against Aamir Khan, Paramount Pictures and film director Advait Chandan under sections 153, 153A, 298 and 505 of the IPC.
For which scene FIR is being demanded
It is shown in Lal Singh Chaddha that a mentally challenged person was made to join the army and was also given permission to fight the Kargil war. Jindal said in his complaint that it is known to all that the best soldiers are selected in the army and only they are sent to fight in the war. In this film, the makers have deliberately shown this scene to defame the Indian Army.
Jindal said that there is another scene in the film in which a Pakistani Army jawan tells Lal, I do namaz, Lal why don’t you do this? In response, Lal says that the mother said that all this worship is malaria. This causes riots.
misuse of freedom of expression
Jindal further said in his complaint, the Indian Constitution gives freedom of speech and expression to every citizen, but it is wrong to misuse it. It jeopardizes the honor and harmony of the country and provokes citizens on the basis of religion. It is considered as a serious offence.

5:36 | Hannah Deutch was a teenager when the Kindertransport rescue effort became her means of escape from Germany. England was taking in thousands of Jewish children and she got her papers in order and left. Right away, as the oldest one in the large group, she became the leader on the journey.
Keywords : Hannah Deutch Jew Jewish German Kindertransport Dusseldorf Germany Rabbi England Cologne babies Holland Harwich
Hannah Deutch's father served in the German Army during WWI. He would not live long enough to see the tragedy that befell his Jewish family, having died in a flu epidemic in 1929. She and her mother were living with her grandparents in Bochum, where the schools were excellent. She was very good at learning languages.
Hannah Deutch had two inseparable friends when she was growing up in Dusseldorf. One made it through the Holocaust and one didn't. All of her family except she and her mother also perished. It all started when one of her non-Jewish schoolmates said she could not play with Hannah anymore.
Her Jewish school had been closed so Hannah Deutch was working in a textile store. She turned in early but was awakened by chaos outside. It was Kristallnacht, when anti-Jewish riots devastated the German Jewish community.
It was after the war, in the Holocaust Museum in Washington, that Hannah Deutch found out the tragic fate of the relatives she left behind in Germany. A few nearly made it to the end of the war, but none of them survived.
They were welcomed with open arms. 150 Jewish children arrived in England, including sixteen year old Hannah Deutch, who had been a substitute mother to the younger ones on the journey. She passed all the exams she needed to work as a nurse, but there was one little problem. No English. She remedied that right away.
Jewish refugee Hannah Deutch was working in a London hospital when it was bombed. The facility was evacuated to the seashore but, since she was a German citizen, she became an "enemy alien." Her internment was on the Isle of Man in a swank resort.
German Jewish refugee Hannah Deutch was working as a nurse in a Manchester hospital when she decided it was time to pay England back for saving her from the Nazis. She joined the British Army. At first she was told she had to be an officer's assistant or a cook. She said no, I am a trained nurse.
In London, when it was cold, you huddled close to the fireplace and talked. German Jewish refugee Hannah Deutch was now a British Army nurse and she had befriended another young woman who was in the group sitting around the fireplace. All of a sudden, her friend made a startling declaration, "I hate the Jews."
British Army nurse Hannah Deutch was stationed right next to Buckingham Palace when the place was bombed out. They were cheered by a visit from Winston Churchill. She was a Jewish refugee from Germany and was a regular at the Jewish Forces Club. That was where she met a very special Canadian.
Hannah Deutch got engaged to a Canadian soldier and right away, there was no end to the people who wanted to help with the wedding. The Jewish refugee was a British Army nurse in London and her wedding was staged in posh style by English benefactors.
All leave was cancelled. The D-Day operation was imminent, but British Army nurse Hannah Deutch and her Canadian husband managed an intimate rendezvous in London. Shortly after that, she came up sick. She couldn't be pregnant, could she? After all, leave was cancelled. Soon she was sick again, seasick on a difficult Atlantic crossing to Canada to be with her in-laws.
The end of the war was very sad for Hannah Deutch when she found out that nearly her entire family had perished. Fortunately, she was in the care of her new in-laws in Montreal, where her husband soon returned to join her and their new son.
There were Japanese radio antennas on Chichi-jima that needed to be destroyed. John Hancock recalls the downing of an American plane during that operation which was piloted by a future president. From there, his fighter squadron and carrier participated in the retaking of the Philippines.
Wes Ruth piloted one of the first aircraft to take off from Pearl Harbor following the Japanese attacks. He was a member of a photographic squadron, but his task became determining the location of the enemy fleet. For his actions this day, he was awarded the Navy Cross.
Lon Edgar Morris, Jr. was one of the GI's tasked with constructing a huge prison camp in the Philippines. He was skillful at adapting and repairing the electrical equipment they found there and this became a career path for him after the war.
After basic training, Jim Sample was trained as a wire lineman, but when he got to an active unit, he became a mortar gunner. He learned how to dial in the mortar fire just right, then never fired it again, even after he got to Europe.
There was almost always flak when B-26 co-pilot George Nelson flew missions over Europe. Milk runs were rare. Near the end of the war, the Germans sent up the very first jet fighter, which was extremely limited in range and could be countered by pincer maneuvers.
Lon Edgar Morris, Jr. recalls how green soldiers mishandled the machine guns in the Philippines and how an ice machine was procured for adult beverages. He may have been preparing for the upcoming Japanese invasion, but he was also concentrating on conquering the dance floor and meeting Filipino ladies.
Bob Ratonyi was four years old when his father was sent to a labor camp. He was taken after Hungary became a de facto ally of Germany and, since he was Jewish, he was among the earliest victims of the forced labor system. No one told the him his father wasn't coming home until a year or two later, and his uncle divulged the details of his fate decades later.
The Japanese prisoners built their own prison camp, under the watchful eye of Lon Edgar Morris, Jr. and the other GI's there in the Philippines. He explains how, during the fighting, the Japanese were hampered by the poor quality of their weapons. The GI's, on the other hand, had the magnificent M1.
His first mission was a milk run. B-26 co-pilot George Nelson did not have that luxury on the rest of his missions. He recalls a rare low altitude bombing run on German submarine pens and describes the make up of his crew, who varied in age between nineteen and forty.
Navy pilot Wes Ruth served with a photographic squadron based out of Pearl Harbor until 1944 when he became a transport pilot between the West Coast and Pacific islands. After the war, he enjoyed a number of training and photographic assignments that sent him around the world.
While Lon Edgar Morris, Jr. was serving in the Philippines, his camp was hit by a tidal wave, something he never wants to experience again. A different kind of problem vexed him with the local population, sorting out the Japanese from the Filipinos.
George Nelson was a freshman at Notre Dame when Pearl Harbor was attacked. He had scrimped and saved to afford the tuition and when he found out what pilots made in the Air Corps, he thought that would do the trick. He passed the tests and went off to flight school.
The draft came for Lon Edgar Morris, Jr. There was still some war left to fight and he was sent to infantry training to prepare for deployment to the Pacific. After a month of zig-zagging across the ocean, he landed in the Philippines.
It was a way to get into the airline industry. Wes Ruth figured that experience as a Navy pilot was the best way. After training, he was assigned to a photographic squadron in San Diego. The year was 1939 and, in 1940, he was transferred to Pearl Harbor.
On his last mission, B-17 gunner Nicholas Sawicke was a little more anxious than usual, but it ended without incident. His tour was relatively early in the war and, when he returned, this made him a subject of much curiosity in the local newspapers.
He had never seen anything like what he saw in the Philippines. Lon Edgar Morris, Jr. recalls how the streets were clogged with desperate, hungry people. He was also disturbed by the decaying bodies on the beach when he came ashore.
John Hancock describes the experience of torpedoes hitting his ship at the Battle of Midway. Though it was close to sinking, the abandon ship process was orderly because of all the drilling. He didn't even know he had shrapnel wounds and a collapsed lung until after he was rescued from the water.
As the war was ending, George Theis learned that his unit had a band in search of saxophone players. He was a saxophone player. This was some good duty, but he got another pilot assignment before he went home, flying for the liaison service.
They had joined the Navy together and were serving on the Yorktown during the Battle of Midway. John Hancock saw the bomb falling that hit his friend Clarence Hill's gun mount. He looked down to the lower deck to see what happened and he wished he had not.
Jesse Beck was serving in the European Theater as an engineer where their duties were to help infantry get across the many rivers of Germany. Projects like building bridges or ferrying troops were quite dangerous, especially when they were up against German artillery.
John Hancock outlines his trajectory through Navy flight school and the different aircraft he progressed through on his way to being a fighter pilot. When he got back to the war, he flew the Grumman F6F Hellcat from the deck of a brand new carrier.
George Theis was finally heading to the fight. The glider pilot had been in training for years and was now bound for Europe. It was early 1945 and Germany itself was now the target. He got there just in time to participate in Operation Varsity, the final glider assault of the war.
The men of the 306th Bomb Group crossed the Atlantic on the RMS Queen Elizabeth and settled into a hastily constructed base in the English countryside. Right away, gunner Nicholas Sawicke did not like the place or the food.
On your return flight, if your bomber fell out of the formation due to damage or mechanical trouble, you were a sitting duck for the German fighters. Gunner Nicholas Sawicke recalls that, if you had to abandon the first target and go to a secondary target, that put you out there in their reach for even longer. There was flak too, and he has the souvenir to prove it.
John Hancock got used to life aboard the carrier Yorktown as she cruised from Norfolk to San Diego. He was a latecomer to the crew so he had a hammock instead of a bunk. Once the ship got to the Pacific, its planes joined in the first retaliatory strike against the Japanese in the Marshall and Gilbert Islands.

The 2014 Special 301 Report is available at www.ustr.gov. Deadlines: Friday, October 31, 2014Deadline for the public, except foreign governments, to submit written comments. Friday, November 7, 2014Deadline for foreign governments to submit written comments.


||Develop a family of small, reliable devices using shape memory alloy actuation technology for ambulatory, implantable and IV delivery systems.
||Mechanical drug delivery devices range from simple roller clamps for keep-vein-open (KVO) applications (approximately 40% of all infusions) to highly sophisticated multiple channel pump systems costing thousands of dollars. As hospitals are shrinking and patients are going home earlier, cost pressures continue to mount on hospitals. The development of disposable electronic roller clamps could provide alarm and flow data and reduce labor costs in hospitals. Ambulatory devices using batteries or a foam-based pressure supply can be made small and simple.
||Beta has developed actuation technology which replaces motors and gears with a simple closed-loop optical sensor and shape memory alloy actuation system to provide precise yet cost-effective flow control. In combination with electronic circuitry, this technology can be applied both to simple KVO infusion at less than $1 per day cost to micro-implantable devices with refillable reservoirs. The reliability, size and cost make this technology appealing for drug delivery. A small electronics package--powered with batteries--as well as a non-electronic version is completed.
||Currently, there is little financial investment interest in mechanical drug delivery. We would welcome interest from strategic partners seeking to develop a series of low-cost, disposable infusion devices.
||Issued patents include 4,713,063; 4,731,069 and 4,645,489. Additional patent concepts exist for filing.

DU QUOIN — One hundred days before the start of the annual Du Quoin State Fair, organizers outlined several details for the fair, including some changes from previous years.
Parking and admission on the first night of the fair will be free, according to a news release from the Illinois Department of Agriculture, which hosts the fair. The fair kicks off at 5 p.m. Friday, Aug. 24.
The Twilight Parade, which happens on opening night, will also follow a different route this year than in previous ones. The parade will this year be contained to fairgrounds property. The staging area will be on the half-mile track inside the Main Gate to the fairgrounds along U.S. 51. The parade will run from the south end of Pacer Avenue, along Midway Drive, then east toward the Grandstand, north on Grandstand Avenue, along Main Street, and then west to Trotter Lane until it ends again at the half-mile track.
Assistant State Fair manager Tibretta Reiman says the change is to accommodate the preferences of Du Quoin residents.
"For as long as I can remember, Du Quoin residents prefer to view the parade from inside the fairgrounds," she said, according to the news release.
Applications to enter the Twilight Parade are open from June 1 to Aug. 13. Applications are on the State Fair's website, DuQuoinStateFair.net.
The waiver of parking and admission fees on the first night of the fair is also an effort to encourage people who typically turn out for the Twilight Parade to explore the fair on its opening night.
"Fairgoers begin setting up their lawn chairs inside the fairgrounds as early as 9 a.m. to ensure they have the perfect viewing spot for this treasured evening tradition," Reiman said. "By waiving the admission and parking fees on Friday night, we hope more and more people will come for the parade and stay for the State Fair experience."
After the parade, Chris Cavanaugh, a country singer from Springfield, Missouri, will perform on the Beer Tent stage. The concert is free. Cavanaugh has shared the stage with the likes of country stars Jake Owen and Eric Church. The concert starts at 6 p.m. with an opener that has yet to be announced. Cavanaugh takes the stage at 8:30.
Tickets for Grandstand musical acts — which this year include Brothers Osborne, Cheap Trick and more — go on sale online via Ticketmaster on Saturday, May 19. Tickets go on sale at the box office at 9 a.m. Monday, May 21; advance armbands for carnival rides will also go on sale at the box office at that time.


This Sunday sees some of the biggest names in music get together for the 59th annual Grammy Awards. Which means my Monday will be spent catching up on the highlights, seeing if Chance the Rapper managed to make history again. Anyway, you didn’t come here for Grammy talk, you came here for some new music. Here are my five things you should be listening to this weekend.
Sampha – (No One Knows Me) Like the Piano
Finally, after years of waiting, Sampha released his debut album this week. Process is a fantastic, complex piece of work, with Sampha working through a range of emotions. Like The Piano, a heartfelt tribute to his late mother, is a stand out track.
Syd – All About Me
Another debut album this week came from Syd, of The Internet and Odd Future fame. Fin sees Syd break out on her own, moving away from the neo-soul feel of The Internet’s Ego Death. There are plenty of late 90s r’n’b influences that can be felt throughout the album, but Syd puts her unique stamp on each and every track.
Stormzy – Big For Your Boots
This week saw Stormzy announce his long-awaited debut album, Gang Signs and Prayer, set to be released on 24th February. As if this wasn’t enough, he also released the video for Big for Your Boots, the album’s lead single. The track bangs and shows Stormzy is still on the top of his game. The video was directed by Daps, who’s recently worked on Migos’s Bad and Boujee and T Shirt videos, and sees Stormzy chilling in Morley’s with Maya Jama.
Thundercat – Show You The Way (Feat. Michael McDonald and Kenny Loggins)
Show You The Way came out at the end of January, along with the announcement for Thundercat‘s third album, Drunk. Drunk’s tracklist includes feature spots for Kendrick Lamar, Wiz Khalifa and Pharrell, but Show You The Way tops it all by bringing in Kenny Loggins. Danger Zone.
Loyle Carner – The Isle of Arran
The Isle of Arran is the opening track from Loyle Carner’s debut album, Yesterday’s Gone, and sets the tone for the rest of the record. The album showcases Carner’s unique style of music, with old school soul and jazz-infused beats providing the perfect accompaniment to his mellow, laid back lyrical style.

Sever’s Disease is a common cause of heel pain especially in physically active young people who are about to or have begun puberty. It is thought that the long calf bones of the leg grow faster than the surrounding muscle and soft tissue, causing the Achilles tendon to pull uncomfortably tight on its attachment onto the Calcaneus (heel bone).
What causes Sever’s Disease:
- Growth: It usually occurs during the growth spurt of adolescence, the approximately 2-year period in early puberty when kids grow most rapidly
- Age: The large growth spurt can begin anytime between the ages of 8 to 13 for girls and 10 to 15 for boys.The highest prevalence of Sever’s is in girls aged 8-11 and boys aged 10-13.
- Anatomy: When the bones grow faster than the muscles, the Achilles tendon that attaches the muscle to the heel gets tight. During growth, the cartilage of the calcaneus is yet to be ossified (turned into bone), and is a potential weak spot. The tight calf muscle and Achilles tendon cause traction on this weak spot, resulting in inflammation and pain.
- Activity: Sever’s disease is more common in physically active growing kids, and higher volume of activity increases the likelihood of pain.
- Pain at the heel or around the Achilles tendon
- Heel pain during and after physical exercise, especially activities that require running or jumping
- Worsening of pain after exercise once cools down, often lasting until the next day
- A tender swelling or bulge on the heel that is sore to touch
- Calf muscle stiffness first thing in the morning
- A tendency to walk on tiptoes (to minimise stretch on muscles and ‘pulling’ on the attachment site)
What to do about it:
Severs disease is a ‘self-limiting’ condition, which means it will get better over time, rarely causing any lasting effects. In the meantime, there are a number of avenues that a physiotherapist can explore in managing the condition. Treatment depends on the severity of the condition, but may include:
- Relative rest and modified activity: work out what, and how much, activity to undertake is an important job that we can help you undertake. Sometimes choosing between sports or training vs games will make a difference
- Cold packs: apply ice or cold packs to the back of the heels for around 15 minutes after any physical activity, including walking
- Footwear: good quality school shoes and runners provide more support to the foot and thus decrease extra load placed on the muscles and joints. Poor footwear can increase symptom intensity and duration
- Shoe inserts: heel cups that can be inserted into any shoe to raise the heel and take strain off the achilles are a great pain reliever whilst kids deal with the growth spurt and continue to play the sport that they love. We can supply these. Expensive orthotics are often not needed.
- Medication: pain-relieving medication may help in extreme cases (but should always be combined with other treatment and following consultation with your doctor). Anti-inflammatory creams are also an effective management tool.
- Time: generally the pain will ease in one to two weeks up top several months, although there may be flare-ups from time to time
- Correction of any biomechanical issues: a physiotherapist can identify and discuss any biomechanical issues that may contribute to or worsen the condition. Issues such as tight hamstrings, tight hip flexors, weakness around the hips/gluts can contribute and addressing these can help
- Massage: this is often advised to help relieve the tension on the achilles. This can often be shown to parents and done by parents on the calf muscles with some stretching before bed.
Do you stretch the calf muscles?
It is often not advisable to stretch the calves while symptoms exist as this increases the pull on the attachment. Once pain settles establishing a good stretching regime will help reduce flare ups when activity increases during seasons. However – stretching surrounding muscles in the lower limb will help as they are often all tight and contribute to the problem
If you feel your child would benefit from chatting with one of our physios to help them relieve their pain, book in for an appointment now.

The Islamophobia of Domestic Security and the Capitol InsurrectionRoundup
tags: FBI, Islamophobia, surveillance, domestic terrorism, Capitol Riot
Juan Cole, a TomDispatch regular, is the Richard P. Mitchell collegiate professor of history at the University of Michigan. He is the author of The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam: A New Translation From the Persian and Muhammad: Prophet of Peace Amid the Clash of Empires. His latest book is Peace Movements in Islam. His award-winning blog is Informed Comment.
Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson excused one of the leaders of the extremist Oath Keepers organization implicated in the January 6th insurrection by describing him as “a devout Christian.” It’s safe to surmise that he wouldn’t have offered a similar defense for a Muslim American. Since September 11th, and even before that ominous date, they have suffered bitterly from discrimination and hate crimes in this country, while their religion has been demonized. During the first year of the Trump administration, about half of Muslim Americans polled said that they had personally experienced some type of discrimination.
No matter that this group resides comfortably in the American mainstream, it remains under intensive, often unconstitutional, surveillance. In contrast, during the past two decades, the Department of Justice for the most part gave a pass to violent white supremacists. No matter that they generated more terrorist attacks on U.S. soil than any other group. The benign insouciance of the white American elite toward such dangerous fanatics also allowed them to organize freely for the January 6th assault on the Capitol and the potential violent overthrow of the government.
Donell Harvin was the chief of homeland security and intelligence for the government of the District of Columbia in the period leading up to January 6th. He assured NBC News’s Ken Dilanian that the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security seemed completely oblivious about the plans of white supremacist hate groups to violently halt the certification of Joe Biden’s presidential victory, despite plentiful evidence on social media that they were preparing to bring weaponry to the Capitol.
Consider now the treatment that the very same agencies offered distinctly inoffensive Muslim Americans. Rutgers law professor Sahar Aziz has argued that many white Americans see Muslims not merely as a religious group but as a racial one and have placed them on the nethermost rung of this country’s ethnic hierarchy. Muslim Americans are regularly, for instance, profiled at airports and subjected to long interrogations. Over many years, the New York City Police Department gathered intelligence on more than 250 mosques and student groups. The FBI even put field officers in mosques not only to spy on, but also to entrap worshipers who, alarmed by their wild talk, sometimes reported them to… the FBI.
