Snake envenomation of domestic animals is a common occurrence in certain areas, yet, there is a paucity of literature on the clinical signs, clinicopathological abnormalities, therapeutics and outcome in snake envenomation in dogs. This paper summarizes the salient clinicopathological changes associated with snake envenomation and the currently suggested therapeutics to counter some of these. It also briefly describes the various snake families and venom types associated with harmful snakes. The hematological abnormalities include thrombocytopenia, haemolysis, haemoconcentration and leukogram changes. Coagulopathies associated with snake envenomation transient hypocoagulability and subsequent hypercoagulability. Knowledge of the venomous snakes in a particular geographic area, as well as a clearer understanding of the most significant abnormalities associated with envenomation, will provide the clinician with more information, enabling optimal treatment and care of the envenomed patient.

Snake activity increases during spring and summer, when snakes reproduce and eggs hatch and most domestic animals are envenomed.1 The family Colubridae includes roughly two thirds of the snake species and, although the majority of colubrids are venomous, they are mostly harmless to humans and large mammals due to small venom glands, weak venoms or inefficient venom delivery systems. The family does, however, include venomous snakes such as the Boomslang (Dispholidus typus) and Vine snake (Thelotornis capensis). The Elapidae family includes venomous snakes such as the cobras and related species. The Viperidae family includes the adders (Viperinae, or vipers) and pit vipers (Crotalinae, e.g., rattlesnakes and lanceheads).

Snake venom can be defined as highly modified saliva that has undergone evolutionary adaptation to immobilize the prey and aids its digestion by means of the actions of protein-degrading enzymes. The venom composition of each snake is species-specific with up to 25 variable toxic and nontoxic compounds. Snake venoms were initially classified into three groups: cytotoxic, neurotoxic and coagulopathic. This classification is a gross over-simplification, since most snake venoms possess a combination of these actions. Neurotoxic components adversely affect the central nervous system. Cardiotoxic components adversely affect the myocardium and cardiac conduction by increasing cellular membrane permeability to ions. Haemorrhagic toxins cause considerable bleeding into tissues by damaging vascular endothelium in capillary walls. Endothelial damage promotes coagulation and bleeding is often accompanied by clotting and haemolysis. Thrombins (procoagulants) induce coagulation and disrupt the normal haemostatic balance and induce intravascular coagulation. Cytolysins lyse body tissue cells and leukocytes. The venom of elapids (e.g., cobras and mambas) consists primarily of neurotoxins, cardiotoxins and haemolytic agents. Viperid venom consists of haemorrhagic elements, thrombins and cytolysins. The venom of colubrids (e.g., Boomslang and vine snake) is mainly haemorrhagic, and exsanguination is the main observed complication.

Haemogram Changes

Haemoconcentration has been reported commonly in Vipera palaestinae, puff adder (Bitis arietans) as well as cobra (Naja spp.) envenomation of dogs.2 As the local swelling develops, third space shifts of protein and fluids to the inflamed tissue cause transient haemoconcentration. Venom haemorrhagins induce vasculitis and capillary leaking, resulting in loss of fluid, proteins and cells at the bite site. Catecholamine-induced splenic contraction might also contribute to haemoconcentration.1 Anaemia has been observed less commonly in dogs, but has been observed with envenomation by Vipera berus4 and V. palaestinae.5 Marked swelling from a puff adder bite is rapid and progressive and associated with local haemorrhage and oedema. Up to half a liter of whole blood might be present in a swelling on the neck of a 20-kg dog following a puff adder bite.3 The hematocrit is not initially affected, but with time, there is fluid retention, haemodilution and a fall in hematocrit. An increase in MCHC has been shown to occur in envenomation by V. palaestinae and results from intravascular haemolysis.5 Haematuria has also been reported in dogs envenomed by V. palaestinae and is a significant risk factor for mortality likely due to its association with a systemic bleeding disorder.5 Animals with decreasing hematocrits should be observed for free serum or urine haemoglobin. Haemoglobinuria is seen occasionally following severe puff adder bites and is most likely due to intravascular haemolysis.3 A transient echinocytosis has been reported in association with rattlesnake envenomation in humans and dogs within 24 hours after envenomation; this, together with spherocytosis, in dogs with a history suggestive of snakebite should be considered an indicator of severe envenomation, particularly in small breeds. The leukograms reported in snakebites in dogs indicate an acute inflammatory response based on the presence of leukocytosis, and a left shift neutrophilia.1,3 Leukocytosis was identified as a risk factor for mortality in V. palaestinae envenomations in dogs.5 Leukopenia has been reported as a result of snake envenomation and mostly occurs in acute envenomation and appears to resolve over 30 to 40 minutes from presentation. Venom-induced thrombocytopenia is commonly observed in moderate to severe puff adder, rattlesnakes (Crotalus spp.), V. palaestinae, V. berus, coral snake (elapid) and Mozambique spitting cobra (Naja mossambica) envenomation in animals and humans. Possible mechanisms leading to thrombocytopenia include vasculitis, sequestration of platelets in inflamed tissue and consumption of platelets with potential development of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC).

Biochemical Changes

High activities of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) have been documented with envenomation by V. palaestinae, suggesting hepatocellular damage secondary to hypoxaemia (in cases of acute hypovolaemia) as well as direct damage by the cytotoxins.1,5 Myotoxins are defined as venom components that have specific action on skeletal muscle. Increased serum activities in creatine kinase (CK), as well as AST and LDH activities, with V. palaestinae envenomation in dogs, were attributed to muscle damage from the snakebite. Rhabdomyolysis might be responsible for the hyperkalemia, hypercalcemia and hyperphosphatemia in dogs envenomed by vipers. However, the mechanisms responsible for hypokalemia and hypocalcemia, especially in the presence of normal albumin, are unclear.1 Hypoalbuminemia was reported in dogs envenomed by V. palaestinae and is suggested to result from albumin leakage at the envenomation site.5 Hyperglobulinemia, observed in a large proportion of cases, is thought to be due to increased levels of acute phase proteins, rather than an increase in immunoglobulins. Mild hyperglycemia has been observed in a number of dogs envenomed by V. palaestinae and was probably the result of envenomation-associated stress, pain and anxiety.5 Acute renal failure has been associated with snakebites in dogs. The primary causes include the nephrotoxic effects of myoglobinuria and haemoglobinuria, DIC, toxic nephropathy and hypovolemic shock with renal ischemia. Cardiac arrhythmias have been reported in both humans and dogs after V. palaestinae envenomation, although a specific cardiotoxin has yet to be demonstrated in this viper's venom. Coagulopathy is one of the most important effects of snakebites and occurs in many viper, elapid and colubrid envenomations. Haemorrhage after envenomation can occur as a result of abnormal functioning of coagulation factors, but also due to venom factors affecting capillary endothelium and platelets. Viperid and crotalid (rattlesnake) venoms are rich in metalloproteinases, responsible for the rapid development of local haemorrhage following intradermal or subcutaneous injection. Snakebites have been thought to be a cause of DIC for decades based on the current criteria used for the diagnosis of DIC, which include thrombocytopenia, increased d-dimer, prolonged PT and aPTT and fibrinogen depletion. More recently, some authors have referred to the coagulopathy associated with snakebites as a venom-induced consumptive coagulopathy (VICC). VICC is characterized by prolonged clotting times, depletion of fibrinogen and co-factors V and VIII and high concentrations of fibrin degradation products (FDPs); however, it is not characterized by the other important features of DIC, such as evidence of systemic microthrombi and end-organ failure. Extended coagulation studies are appropriate in cases of snakebite envenomation, especially in cases envenomed by snake species known to induce haemostatic defects. These tests should include PT, aPTT, fibrinogen, FDPs and/or d-dimer and antithrombin. Thromboelastography (TEG) may prove very useful in such cases. A recent study using TEG, comparing the coagulopathies present in dogs envenomed by puff adder and snouted cobra (Naja annulifera), showed that hypocoagulability was a common feature in puff adder-envenomed dogs with significantly delayed clot initiation (prolonged R-time), and reduced clot kinetics (reduced K-time and angle) at presentation. Dogs envenomed by snouted cobra were normo- to hypercoagulable. At 24 hours post-envenomation, both dogs envenomed by puff adders and cobras were hypercoagulable. This may be an indication of the presence of a heparin-like component in the venom of puff adders.6

All cases envenomed by cytotoxic snakes showing swelling should be admitted for observation unless the swelling is already resolving. Most cases should have a cephalic catheter placed for crystalloid fluid administration at maintenance rates. The use of antibiotics is most likely unnecessary and the trend is away from their use (since snake venom contains an antibacterial component), unless there is obvious tissue loss (as in the case of Spitting cobra bites). Analgesics are not widely used in the management of adder bites in dogs, because pain seems to be minimal, yet some clinicians do use analgesics routinely. Potent analgesia (buprenorphine; morphine) will be needed in dogs bitten by the spitting cobra or for puff adder bites into a muscle mass. If a case deteriorates at any time aggressive treatment will be needed. Signs of deterioration would include: worsening weakness or depression; a rising pulse rate, respiratory rate, a drop in rectal temperature or pale mucous membranes with sudden changes in capillary refill time; swelling that begins to impinge the upper airway; a haematocrit that continues to fall; the appearance of haemoglobinuria or haemoglobinaemia or a positive ISA test and evidence of spontaneous haemorrhage.

For anaemic cases, fresh whole blood transfusions to replace lost blood can be lifesaving. If blood is unavailable, the next best fluid would be a synthetic colloid (hetastarch) and the last resort would be to use crystalloids at shock doses. Intravenous administration of as much antivenom as the owner can afford (even one vial may make the difference between life and death) - this is especially important in neurotoxic cases with impending respiratory paralysis. Cases with upper airway obstruction will require tracheostomy tube placement. In many cases the ventral cervical swelling is so severe that a traditional tracheostomy tube is too short and an endotracheal tube (ET) should be placed through the tracheostomy orifice. A tracheostomy tube needs very good nursing care (nebulization to keep secretions moist, regular suction and daily replacement), and complications such as blockage with dried mucous plugging are to be avoided. Critically ill dogs should be on intravenous broad-spectrum antibiotic cover. Critical illness is associated with immunosuppression and it is advisable to prevent infection rather than to attempt to treat it once it is present. Attention should be paid to urinary catheter placement to assess urine production, regular turning, toilet care of artificial airways and attention to nutrition (by nasogastric or oesophagostomy tube) if the patient does not eat for longer than a day - especially important in neurotoxic cases on ventilator therapy.

3 Simple Steps For Those Who Want To Attain Runner’s High

For you running might not be that easy, but ask a runner and they will tell you that they love running. Why? Because it gives them high. That too without smoking anything.

They might not get it during their every run, but every once in a while, runners get a euphoric feeling which is known as runner’s high. That’s why people who like running don’t like to take day off from their daily running. As they don’t want to miss the feeling of runner’s high.

What is runner’s high?

runner's high

After finishing a long distance run, runner’s get the euphoric feeling that is called runner’s high. They feel happy as the brain releases two different chemicals that give the high. Though the same feeling can also be attained by doing any other exercise.

But there is a difference between the runner’s high and high you get during your intense gym session. Runner high is a bit better than all the other high’s, as it makes your body feel lighter and you’ll forget all your pain.

Also Read: Here Is How Running Every Day Can Help You Take Good Care Of Your Oral Health

Once a runner reaches the point of high they feel like they can run forever. They feel like they have unlimited energy to continue their run.

What science says about this?

runner's high

After running for half an hour, at 80% of your heart level, brain releases two mood boosters, Endorphins and Anandamides. Where Endorphins is a chemical counterpart of morphine, Anandamides are somewhat similar to the THC.

Endorphins help you to forget about how much your legs are burning. As it acts as a pain killer. While Anandamides cannabinoids make us calm.

When these two mood boosters reach the brain barriers (gatekeeper of brain cells). Anandamides are small and get easily inside your brain, while most of the Endorphins find it hard to get in.

Not to worry though, as the brain itself synthesizes Endorphins. Once these two mood boosters reach your central nervous system, they block the pain sensors. As a result, runner doesn’t feel the burning in the legs.

And once Endorphins reaches the prefrontal and limbic regions runners feel more motivated and soon the euphoric feeling kicks in. If you want to feel what runner’s feel, here are the 3 simple steps to get runner’s high

1. Prepare yourself for the run

runner's high

To get the runner’s high you have to run a long distance. Make sure to wear comfortable gym clothes and running shoes. Have a pre-run meal that includes carb and protein. Banana along with peanut butter is the best option. Peanut butter will provide you with enough protein while banana helps to avoid muscles cramps.

2. Warm up is necessary

runner's high

In order to avoid injury, just like any other exercise, you should do a proper upper and lower body warm-up. 5 minutes warm up is enough to relax your muscles. Don’t start with the full pace, although it running fast feels tempting you have to run for a long time. Start slow, with less than 50% of your pace for 10 minutes. This will help you to save energy to complete your long distance run.

3. Increase your pace

runner's high

Even after doing a proper warm-up, you still are not allowed to run at your full pace (sprint). Keep your pace at 70% and try to maintain it as long as you can. Consistency is the key if you really want to feel the runner’s high. And if 70% feels to fast, you are losing your breath, you are allowed to take down your pace. Bring it down to 65-60% and try to maintain it.

Anything else?

Those above mentioned are the most important tips that you need to follow to get the runner’s high. Apart from it you also need to maintain a mindset that will help you enjoy your run.

At one point, your legs will start burning too hard, just push little extra and you’ll reach the climax. As the burning sensation will be stopped and your body will feel light.

Congratulations!!! You have attained the runner’s high.

Using a T-chart to Create Your Resume

You’ve written a resume to function as your general communication tool and to post in resume databases, but to get the results you want, you’ll want to customize your resume to each particular open job. This is probably the best advice we can give you, but also the advice that job seekers are most likely to ignore. Why do people choose not to customize their resumes?

  1. It's a lot of work
  2. They're not sure how to do it

There is a simple tool called a "T-chart" to help with the process. It’s still a lot of work, but much less so when you know what you’re doing. You can take a piece of paper and divide it in half to make two columns that resemble the letter "T". T-charts are a great way to brainstorm your suitability for the job and to prepare for an interview.

The T-chart’s purpose is to highlight your skills and background that would be a match for the position. The goal is for the recruiter or manager to read your resume and think, "That’s exactly who we’re looking for!"

Let’s walk through the exercise together. First, find a job posting that you are interested in – it can be anything from a few lines long to an extensive job description.

The above position description is pretty short, but even scant details can turn into a great resume.

On the left-hand side of the page, copy the statements from the job posting in short pieces. Next, it’s time to brainstorm your background to match. On the right hand side of the page, write short, action-oriented statements that highlight something in your experience that may relate to the qualities or experience listed on the left-hand column. If you can use words or phrases from the job posting or company information, that would be preferable.

You likely won’t have a corresponding experience for every entry, but brainstorm as many as you can. Be as specific as possible, use numbers when you can, and focus on the results that you achieved.

Next, we’ll translate the T-chart into a customized resume that fits the job perfectly. We’ll start with our standard resume and begin with the Experience section. In general, we leave the first bullet point under each company name as is since we’re using that one to describe the company and provide details about our role there. That will usually stay the same. Let’s look at the other bullet points next.

With the T-chart, we can pick a few statements to replace, modify, or add skills in this resume based on the job description and the ideal candidate. Afterward, the resume will look like this:

It’s not easy, but the likelihood that you will make a connection with the employer just significantly increased. You’re using the same language and you’ve positioned yourself as a person who can help solve their problems.

Make no mistake, T-charts take some effort to create. However, they’re a proven method to get calls for interviews by emphasizing the match between your background and the open job position. In addition, it can serve as a cheat sheet you can use at the interview that summarizes why you are qualified and a great fit for the position!

Now the festive period has started. As we know, the food is the protagonist of Christmas Neapolitan lunch. Here, what to expect if you're invited for lunch on Christmas day, in an authentic Neapolitan house.

What are the Christmas antipasti?

There aren't traditional antipasti of the Christmas Neapolitan lunch. Each house has own tradition: at the table, we can find bruschetta, Italian-style fried fry, fried codfish or mozzarella and ham. Do you already feel full? We are only at the beginning ...

Main dishes of the Neapolitan tradition

The main dishes of the Christamas lunch are two. The first one is the famous and old minestra maritata: its recipe dates back to 1500. This type of soup is called in this way because vegetables and meat (usually pork, chicken and beef) are married (in Naples, "maritano") to combine their flavors in a unique and special flavor. This soup not to be missed!

The next dish can change on the traditions of the Neapolitan family. We can find baked cannelloni, rice sartù, tortellini in broth, lasagna or baked pasta. Taste good!

The second dish of  Neapolitan Christmas lunch

Are you already full? We're still halfway through lunch! The second dish is usually meat, the meat is often made with the sauce of the pasta. It can be the sausage with the sauce or beef. However, the second dish of Christmas lunch is the one that puts the stomachs of the people to the test.

The traditional side-dish of Christmas lunch in Naples

At Christmans, the star of the Neapolitan tables is definitely the insalata di rinforzo! A special side-dish made with cabbage, broccoli, olives, peppers, escarole, mixed pickles, all dressed with vinegar. A salad for refined palates, not everyone likes but it's definitely worth trying.

And here we are, almost at the end of this long lunch. What is missing is certainly a good coffee, a digestive and then ... Let's start to eat a lot of desserts!

The group poses with the nomination

Left to right: Joe Galante, VITAS Director of Market Development, Keagen Brown, Vice President of Operations at VITAS; Joanne Beardsley, VITAS Business Manager; Melissa McNally, VITAS of Delaware General Manager; Eddy Caldwell, VITAS Patient Care Administrator; Sergeant Gary Black, VITAS Veteran Liaison.

Newark, DE, August 7, 2017—The Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR) has nominated VITAS Healthcare of Delaware for the Secretary of Defense Employer Freedom Award. Major General Carol A. Timmons, adjutant general of the Delaware National Guard, presented VITAS’ leadership team with the nomination during a luncheon recognizing organizations that support veterans and reservists on Tuesday, August 1, 2017.

The award is the highest recognition that an organization can receive from the U.S. government for supporting employees in the Guard and Reserve. VITAS’ nomination is a direct result of its commitment to support veteran employees while they are deployed on duty.

“We are incredibly honored to receive this nomination,” said VITAS Healthcare Vice President of Operations Keagen Brown. “It’s a direct reflection of how we follow our corporate values—“We take care of each other.” We are proud to support our employees who serve our country in addition to the patients and patients we are privileged to serve each day.”

As an employer of choice, VITAS is committed to building a diverse workforce that values inclusion and respect. VITAS also has a long history of supporting veteran initiatives for its patients. VITAS honors veterans’ end-of-life care preferences and works with the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization and the Department of Veterans Affairs to provide respectful and compassionate care, as exemplified by the company’s participation in the We Honor Veterans program. VITAS staff members and volunteers are trained on the unique needs of veterans near the end of life to provide an added level of depth and empathy to our services.

The Department of Defense established the ESGR program in 1972 to motivate cooperation and understanding between Reserve Component Service members and their employers. Located in every state, the ESGR successfully enhances employer support of military commitments to ensure that employees can defend their country and return to meaningful employment.

VTEX Blog - Open Source Code in E-Commerce – Let’s Talk Turkey

Open Source Code in E-Commerce – Let’s Talk Turkey

Alexandre Soncini
28 Apr 2017
Reading Time: 3 min

Planning for an e-commerce operation is crucial to its success and choosing an e-commerce platform is the keystone. At this stage, people often wonder what is available from open-source solutions such as Magento, Open Cart, OS Commerce, etc. especially in terms of the costs that may be involved.

Ideally, the open source model should be seen as a concept that favors community-based collaboration. In practice, this is not what happens! Let’s imagine an ideal world in which progress goes something like: free open source solution, source codes as company property, new features being developed without being locked into a specific development company.

Okay, so open source model code is free to download. But then what?

Someone will have to deploy, customize and support this solution, with hardware and monitoring to keep it up and available, while constantly evolving and displaying a competitive edge.

In most cases, customization alters the features of a solution, losing the user-friendly appeal with the installation of new, community-based functionalities, which tend to be compatible only with non-customized versions.

Another factor is the national origin of source code and applications developed. Most Brazilian applications are made for the North American market, so they are not standardized, which means more risk for a store installing them.

This kind of installation becomes much more laborious and the result is often that the community ends up not being tapped in the most effective ways it could be. There are also security issues for open source solutions since there exists the risk of greater exposure.

Customizing an open source solution

Customization can also create another obstacle for a company: it becomes the vendor`s hostage. A team hired to deploy and customize may concentrate all of the project’s details using restricting linkage with all of the platform’s requirements, in effect, making the project completely dependent upon the “solution” by locking it into the platform.

Finally, having source code may be an overall disadvantage: as part of a company’s assets, it will depreciate unless there is a continuous investment to develop it further and innovate to evolve with the times.

In addition to these challenges, some companies choose to deploy and customize source code internally, which leads to infrastructure failures. Not to mention the wasted energy that could be used for their core focus – thus directly impacting costs and results. In essence, even if a solution if advertised as free there really is no such thing as a “free lunch!”

It is interesting to note that the uptake of open source solutions have followed the same life cycle as other technologies. Initial pioneers’ enthusiasm was followed by massive adhesion that produced the impression of fast growth. Then came the reality of fragmentation: companies started customizing their solutions so they were no longer open-source and they created new cycles with projects of their own.

In conclusion, an open source solution, within the source code ownership model, will eventually be confused with programming languages. An open source solution may compete directly with a programming language and its deployment team will be competing with commercial solutions on the market.

Another aspect is the wide range of costs involved for an operation using open source software: hardware, internal and/or external teams, the cost of the effort required for the platform’s evolution, new functionalities and corrections.

On the other hand, SaaS model solutions are gaining tremendous ground. Enterprise companies like Consul, Brastemp, Sony, Electrolux, Disney, and L’Oreal have used this type of technology for their e-commerce operations, and have been met with excellent results.

This model ensures that a retailer will be focused on the core business activities for their operation: “selling and delivering,” instead of continuously having to correct mistakes and support to their technology. If you are interested in a more efficient performance for your E-commerce operation, it is important to know from the start that the open source model is not truly “free.”

A person's attitudes and behaviours affect the way they view themselves and the way they relate to others. Understanding what influences the formation of attitudes of individuals and behaviours of groups can inform and contribute to explanations of individual aggression or altruism, the positive and negative power of peer pressure and responses to group behaviour. In this unit students analyse research methodologies associated with classic and
contemporary theories, studies and models, consider ethical issues associated with the conduct of research and the use of findings, and apply appropriate research methods when undertaking their own investigations.  This unit is studied in Year 11.

 W-Festival - Toyah (GB)

Toyah (GB)

  • Date: 16-08-2019
  • Time: 15:05-15:45
  • Stage: Synth Scene

From punk princess to cult stage actress to high priestess of TV, TOYAH WILLCOX is a uniquely gifted performer and an inextinguishable flame. Charismatic, outspoken and impossible to  categorise, she is one of Britain’s iconic household names – an award-winning rock legend as well as a much-loved stage/screen actress and music composer. In a career spanning over 40 years Toyah has amassed thirteen top 40 singles, recorded twenty-four albums, written two books, appeared in over forty stage plays, acted in twenty feature films and presented hundreds of television programmes.
It all began in her hometown Birmingham in 1977 when film director Derek Jarman offered her the role of ‘Mad’ in seminal punk epic Jubilee. She continued to gain strong roles, appearing alongside Katherine Hepburn in the film, The Corn is Green, as well as playing ‘Monkey’ in the legendary and still iconic Quadrophenia. She teamed up with Jarman again to play Miranda in his innovative version of The Tempest, which won her a nomination as Best Newcomer at the 1980 Evening Standard Awards. The hit singles It’s A Mystery, I Want to Be Free, Brave New World and platinum-selling albums Anthem and The Changeling confirmed her status as one of the most significant talents of the 1980s. In 1982 she won the Best Female Singer at the British Rock & Pop Awards, who went on to become The Brits.
Toyah’s most recent acting work includes acclaimed cult Brit film Ahhhhhhhh!, directed by Steve Oram and co-starring Julian Rhind-Tutt, Noel Fielding and Julian Barratt. Toyah has a cameo role in British thriller Extremis for which Toyah and Simon Darlow have co-written and produced the end credits song Our Hearts Still Beat; Toyah plays the wife of a character played by Harvey Keitel in the forthcoming Lies We Tell, directed by Mitu Misra and co-starring Gabriel Byrne. Toyah is currently completing film roles as Francis Meynell in the period piece Hound – The Life of the poet Francis Thompson, a new film by Chris Ward. Later in 2017, Toyah shoots To Be Someone based on a book of the same name, will continue the adventures and lives of many of the original characters from Quadrophenia. Willcox will also shoot a role in British horror film SwipeRight, based on a internet dating app and stars in another Steve Oram production entitled Dregs. 2018 sees a major year of celebration or Toyah as she celebrates her 60th birthday and 40th anniversary of her music career. Her 1987 album Desire (featuring guest playing from Robert Fripp and Ronnie Wood) will be issued as a new limited edition translucent red vinyl LP on 21 April for Record Store Day 2018.

Ralph Gardner Jr: Student Of The Seasons

May 26, 2018

Callery Pear petals littering a driveway
Credit Ralph Gardner, Jr

As someone who’s been visiting the Hudson Valley since the 1960’s, and religiously since the late Seventies when my grandparents passed away and I assumed management of the house where we live today, here’s a small insight from an old-timer: when it comes to nature no two years are alike.

This might not sound like especially profound news. But I’m not a farmer. I come at this as a city person.

And as a city person I used to break down the seasons this way: Summer – hot. Fall – leaves fall off trees and it gets cold. Winter – colder still plus the white stuff. Spring – warmth, buds, flowers, leaves, beauty.

If I sound prejudiced towards spring that’s because I am. I actually have a theory: your favorite season is the one when your birthday occurs. Mine’s June 16thso I just make the cut.

But after spending several decades in the country, on and off, I’ve started to appreciate more subtle distinctions. While the seasons still hue to our general conception of them, despite climate change, one year varies from the next, sometimes slightly, other times dramatically.

Let’s start with this spring. And I’m basing these observations on subjective opinion, not empirical evidence. I haven’t compared the average temperature or rainfall going back decades.

So far the spring has been pretty cool and rainy. But the trees seem to be blossoming in profusion. That abundance was similar to a recent year. Was it two, three, perhaps four years ago?

My memory isn’t great as you may have gathered. But we have Callery pear trees lining our driveway. And a few years back they were so laden with blossoms that they attracted Baltimore Orioles galore. I counted ten of them in the high branches of our trees at the same time.

I decided to repeat the experiment this year, another good year for blossoms, and found four of them foraging among the blossoms simultaneously. By comparison, last year there were far fewer blossoms and Orioles.

If you’re not a particular student of science and nature, or just academically lazy, as I am – you tend to recall things anecdotally.

For me a pretty good gauge of the warmth of spring and the abundance of sunshine versus rain is how early I get to swim in our pond. I haven’t done so yet this spring. But back in 2002 I took my first swim around April 15th.

I recall the occasion because I was upstate researching a story for New York magazine about a massive cement plant proposed for Hudson, New York. It was defeated after prolonged and strenuous community opposition.

There was an April heat wave that year, a succession of days in the mid-nineties. So after interviewing opponents and proponents of the plant I’d come home and take a swim.

Our pond is surrounded by towering oaks and by late spring it typically loses direct sunlight by four p.m. So it was a novel experience swimming in full sunshine surrounded by trees that had yet to bud.

Another example. This one from the late Seventies or early Eighties. There was a gypsy moth invasion around the time of my birthday, so severe it made me sad. You could literally hear them munching on the leaves as they denuded the trees. The other sound you heard were their droppings falling to the ground.

I feared they’d destroy the trees forever, their leaves never to return.

That Sunday I was relieved to read a story in the New York Times reporting that the leaves would come back. In fact, they’d experience a second growth by mid-summer and they did.

One final example. The October storm of 1987. Wow, I really do sound like an old-timer.

The earliest snowstorm on record, it dumped twenty inches of snow on October 4th. The damage was extraordinary because the trees were still in full leaf. So the heavy wet snow weighed down on them and caused huge branches and in some cases entire trees to topple. The woods sounded and looked like a war zone.

Power was out for days if not weeks. Our driveway was impassable. And to this day particular trees continue to display, if subtly, the ravages of that event. They’re shaped slightly differently than they would have been if the storm hadn’t occurred – perhaps shorter, their crowns flatter, the spaces between branches more pronounced.

Of course, it’s been over thirty years. A casual observer would never notice the difference.

Insects are another species – or is it phylum – that seems to wax and wane. Mosquitos and ticks, though they always seem entirely more prolific and successful than necessary – but also bees, wasps, stinkbugs, lady bugs, Japanese beetles.

This spring I’ve found a bunch of large brown beetles in our pool filters. Yes, yuck, even while I love all creatures great and small. A few years ago it was a centipede invasion.

We also have aggressive wooly bumble bee-like creatures on our sundeck, though they only seem aggressive towards each other.

The first time I noticed them they intimidated me. But now I sit there, happily sipping my vodka on the rocks while munching on nuts as they strafe each other.

And the best part is that I know, at least I think, they’ll be gone within a couple of weeks. Because they always have in the past.

Glaucoma is a condition caused by a blockage of the natural drain of the eye. The blockage makes the eye drain poorly, leading to the buildup of fluid and pressure within the eye, called “intraocular pressure.” If left untreated, the condition can worsen and damage the optic nerve that sends images to the brain. The medical professionals at the Waring Vision Institute in Charleston, SC are familiar with surgical and non-surgical treatment options for glaucoma, and their friendly staff will help and guide you through diagnosis and treatment. Dr. George Waring is nationally recognized authority on eye and vision treatments, and responsible for the development of advanced treatments for a range of eye conditions.

Early Detection of Glaucoma

Identifying and treating early signs of glaucoma is vital to diagnosing the disease, and treating it before irreversible damage is done. In many cases, clients are suffering from glaucoma but don’t realize they have the condition, as the symptoms build slowly over time. After an acute attack, or a rapid build-up of eye pressure, a client is diagnosed with glaucoma, and must have emergency treatment to avoid blindness. As the early symptoms may be almost undetectable, it’s important to ensure you have a regular, comprehensive eye exam. Our staff of professionals in vision and eye diseases at the Waring Vision Institute can identify early signs of glaucoma.

Non-Surgical Treatment

In cases where the glaucoma has not developed to the critical stage, many clients can be treated with eye drops that control intraocular pressure. Prior to treatment, we evaluate your medical history and any medications you take to avoid interactions that could endanger your health. The drops are applied directly on the eye and are absorbed through blood vessels on the surface. The medication works to either relax muscles in the eye, decrease fluid production, or increasing outflow of fluid, depending on the type of active ingredient.

Glaucoma Surgery

We have multiple surgical treatments to increase drainage and keep intraocular pressure under control. Various forms of advanced laser therapy work to:

  • Modify the eye’s drain to increase aqueous flow
  • Modify the trabecular meshwork, which also increases aqueous flow
  • Modify part of the fluid-producing part of the eye to decrease fluid production
  • Create increased drainage by modifying the sclera (the white part of the eye)

Most procedures to treat glaucoma are relatively painless. The precise, computer-programmed laser technology allows for quick treatment and little downtime. Dr. Waring is responsible for researching and developing some of the most advanced treatments available in the USA, and is a nationally-recognized leader in the field of vision correction.

Treat your Glaucoma in Charleston, SC

The Waring Vision Institute’s experienced and knowledgeable staff serves the Charleston area including Mount Pleasant, Columbia, and Myrtle Beach. Dr. George Waring owns and operates the facility, overseeing all procedures and to ensure the quality of treatment, and maintain the highest level of personalized care. Contact our office today to schedule an eye exam to check for glaucoma to get the most advanced treatments available in the USA today.

Court of protection

Our specialist solicitors can assist you with any applications that need to be made to the Court of Protection including deputy applications or applications for court guidance or orders for attorneys or deputies as and when needed (for example, a request to make gifts from the donor’s assets or a request to sell the donor’s home).

Deputyship application

If somebody loses their mental capacity to deal with their own affairs without having put in place an enduring or lasting power of attorney a deputy will need to be appointed.

A deputy application is made to the Court of Protection. The person(s) named as deputy are chosen by the Court of Protection and not by the donor and, accordingly, could be someone the donor would not ordinarily choose to make such decisions.

Deputy applications are generally more complex, more time consuming and therefore more expensive than putting in place a valid lasting power of attorney.

How our solicitors can help you:

Next step

Please contact one of our specialist Court of Protection solicitors to discuss your requirements.

‘H’ stands for ‘Hot’ on H Street
Atlas Theater, gay news, H Street, Washington Blade

The Atlas Theater (Photo public domain)

As the temperatures climb again, take a moment — and perhaps a streetcar, soon — to the nearby H Street corridor in Northeast Washington. Thanks to the continued promise of the new light-rail line connecting Union Station to Anacostia, many new dining and entertainment options are becoming available in this hot area. Entertainment, restaurants, and even an indoor bocce court now line this once less-glamorous street.

The most famous of places on H Street is perhaps the Atlas Theater. The Atlas Theater is home to the Joy of Motion Dance Studio and regular performances. Next door, The Rock & Roll Hotel is another recent spot for hot entertainment, housing a dance party every week, many popular DJs and a “drink to play, play to win” spelling bee.

Toki Underground is a new eatery that spices up the dining scene on H Street. D.C.’s first restaurant serving Taiwanese ramen, dumplings, and Asian-themed cocktails, Toki is a new hot spot for those looking for a unique dining experience. Be sure to try their pork cheek ramen with the homemade srirachi chili sauce.

For those seeking a more casual scene, enjoy H Street’s local Belgian-inspired restaurant and bar, Granville Moore. The lengthy beverage menu will have you coming back again and again to try the delicious cocktails. Make sure to try the mussels, which executive chef Teddy Folkman made to defeat Bobby Flay in an episode of “Throwdown.”

Vendetta, a bocce bar and tavern, offers its guests the chance to do the ultimate – throw balls and drink. Guests can even hold private parties where they serve more balls – meatballs.

If balls are your thing, also be sure to try the H St. Country Club, which offers a renowned menu with scrumptious Mexican food, as well as a large rooftop deck and the only miniature golf course in D.C. The weekend brunch also features bottomless mimosas, which no one should ever turn down.

Venturing a few blocks away from H Street is Union Market, featuring pop-up shops, restaurants and local produce. Many events are starting to encourage patrons, such as book signings, mixology seminars and gospel choir brunches. And don’t forget to check out Dock 5 for a potential event space. The 13,000-square-foot area can accommodate up to 1,500 people.

H Street is continuing to grow and will be bigger and better with the introduction of the D.C. streetcar. And just when can we expect to be joyriding on this streetcar?

Mayor Gray has promised it will be just a matter of months before the long-awaited line opens for business. Whether you use it to just get to work, or to enjoy a unique bar or restaurant experience, be sure to venture to H Street for great food and fun.

- Associated Press - Wednesday, June 26, 2019

PALM SPRINGS, Calif. (AP) - Seattle’s new NHL franchise intends to have its American Hockey League affiliate in Palm Springs as part of a new arena proposed for the city.

The Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians and Oak View Group announced plans Wednesday to build a privately-funded arena on tribal land in downtown Palm Springs with the intent on serving as the home ice for Seattle’s affiliate. NHL Seattle and OVG have jointly submitted an application for an expansion AHL franchise, the 32nd for the league, which would begin play in the fall of 2021 at the same time Seattle’s NHL franchise will begin play.

OVG is currently financing and leading the renovation of the arena at Seattle Center that will be home to the NHL franchise.

The new arena in Palm Springs will seat up to 10,000 fans and include an adjoining training facility. The groups hope to begin construction on the arena in February 2020.

Taking Corporate Social Responsibility for Ship Pollution

Taking Corporate Social Responsibility for Ship Pollution

Taking Corporate Social Responsibility for Ship Pollution

When people think of big sources of pollution, they often think of cars stuck in traffic increasing air pollution, or airplanes guzzling up valuable resources. But what about ships?

According to a recent article at Mother Jones, oceangoing ships are providing some of the biggest volumes of air pollution, with some of the most deadliest consequences to human health. Exposure to shipping pollution can cause health problems like lung cancer, diabetes, and heart issues. Ship fuel emits toxins that are known to cause cell damage as well, and a team of researchers found that emissions from ships are more dangerous than emissions from cars and trucks.

Though many of us might not be exposed to ships daily–unless you live or work near a port–the exponential contribution of ship pollution causes thousands of deaths every day while contributing to the ongoing problem of greenhouse gases.

Businesses can incorporate social responsibility in stemming the effects of oceangoing ship pollution by:

Sourcing locally: Does your business knowingly ship products or components by sea, or even by plane? By sourcing materials or resources from places closer to home, you can reduce your company’s pollution through product travel.

Taking advantage of online technologies: If you provide international services, have you looked at online assistance or remote alternatives to provide your work? If you ship or mail overseas, you can also consider adding a minimum order amount or environmental fee that can go towards purchasing carbon offsets or supporting an environmental organization.

Recycling: Recycling glass, paper, and plastic products can indirectly stem pollution coming from ships. When you think about the chain of production for materials like a plastic bottle, you should also consider where and how materials to make that bottle come from. By introducing waste reduction programs or improving a current program’s ROI, you can also disrupt current sources of pollution.

By taking small actions at your office, you can help alleviate some of the pollution coming from oceanic shipments.

Police officers can face unique demands on the job | WBEZ

Morning Shift

Police officers can face unique demands on the job

Last week, a disturbing video surfaced of Chicago police officers physically and verbally abusing a woman they were attempting to take into custody in July of 2013. In the wake of the video’s release, Chicago Police Superintendent Gerry McCarthy is quoted as saying “...as human beings, we make mistakes, everybody has bad days. And unfortunately, we're held to a standard where we're not allowed to have bad days.” There’s no doubt about it, people can have bad days, and Chicago cops have one of the toughest jobs around. They see and deal with things every day that-thankfully-most of us will never have to see and deal with. That must cause a great amount of mental stress. So in the wake of this incident., we wanted to know how cops recognize-and then deal-with that stress. Dr. ML Dantzker is a Professor, Dept of Criminal Justice at the University of Texas, Pan-American, and he runs MLD Mental Health Services of South Texas. Dr. Dantzker spent more than a decade in law enforcement, and has been teaching criminal justice for nearly 25 years, and he’s a Certified Forensic Mental Health Examiner. Photo: Flickr/Chicago Man

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Several teen students were able to take to the skies over Louisville Friday morning, thanks to a program by UPS.

Small planes were filled with special guests at Bowman Field, each of them getting a chance to get a thrilling birds-eye view of the city during a flight.

"At first I was a little bit nervous going in," said Dominic Brandi, one of the students. "You know, what if the plane crashes? There was a lot of stuff going through my head. But once we were in the air, all of that just melted away."

There was certainly no lack of jokes among the energetic bunch of students.

"Y'all, I just wanna say we all look so fly," said one.

But it wasn't all fun and games. The group of 60 students were taking part in the Aerospace Career Education program. It's a week-long camp put on through a partnership between UPS and the Academy @ Shawnee that introduces students to the aviation industry.

Some attendees, like Jeffersonville High School student Mireya Hampton, have been to the camp four times.

"It's fun," she said. "It gives me a lot of opportunities. And I get to learn new things even though I've been here for a really long time."

Aaron Clay, a Moore High School student, gives the program a big thumbs up.

"Going to UPS, doing the flight simulators that the pilots actually do was really fun," he said. "We went to the Air National Guard Base."

Larry Parker brought the program to Louisville 26 years ago.

"I had this dream when I was in high school," he said. "When I met an airline pilot, I just thought, 'Man, what a great career.'"

He says now it's all about paying it forward.

"It was good for me when I was their age, and I said, 'I gotta give back and let them know what a great opportunity you can have in aerospace.'"

Parker is a retired UPS pilot, but says he just can't seem to keep his head out of the clouds.

"It's inspiring to me," he said. "It makes me feel good to see the young people that want to come to the program, and I want to be a part of it. I'm not ready to give it up either."

Many at the camp are aspiring young pilots and aerospace engineers.

Friday morning brought the grand finale for the week: a personal plane ride around the city.

Shrimp and Chicken Jambalaya

Total Time
40 min
20 min
20 min
This delicious Cajun specialty makes a flavor-packed, filling meal any time of year.

olive oil

2 tsp

uncooked onion(s)

1 medium, sweet, chopped

green pepper(s)

1 medium, chopped

uncooked boneless skinless chicken breast(s)

8 oz, cut into bite-size pieces

canned stewed tomatoes

29 oz, undrained

uncooked shrimp

12 oz, peeled and deveined

Italian seasoning

1 tsp

hot pepper sauce

1 tsp

long grain cooked brown rice

4 cup(s)

  1. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and pepper; cook, stirring, until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes.
  2. Stir in chicken; cook, stirring, until chicken is no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in remaining ingredients, except rice; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, stirring occasionally, until shrimp are cooked through, about 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in rice; continue cooking until liquid is almost absorbed and rice is thoroughly heated, about 2 minutes. Yields about 1 cup per serving.

This recipe also tastes great if you use lean pork tenderloin strips instead of chicken. And go ahead and toss some red beans into the cooked rice (could affect SmartPoints values).
