How are you giving, as Johnny said, that attention, that appreciation, and acceptance to others? What about when people are going through difficult times? Are you there to be that shoulder for them to lean on? Are you there to pick up their spirits? That is another form of social capital that we all have to offer. Networking is not just career-based. I think that word gets thrown around a lot and we naturally think about, okay, well, what are my job prospects? I've made friends through networking. I've gone on dates with people in my network. So if you think about it and you're listening to this, you're like, well, I'm happy in my career. I don't really need to grow my network. Networking is not just about moving ahead in your career and advancing.  And we've talked about this countless times on the show. The more connected we are as humans, the happier we are. So networking, it's ongoing. It happens everywhere. It's not something that you need to buy a ticket to attend to get an opportunity to network. And when you approach it with the right mindset of how can I actually connect with this person instead of what can I get out of this person, it's far more fun. And it can be insanely rewarding. Like I have this alarm sound on my iPhone that goes off every morning. And it's my favorite song. And here's the story behind the song. I was the one that connected the two people that formed that band. And it sounds a little bit like I don't mean to show off here. I just mean to say that whenever my alarm clock goes off, I'm getting I'm getting goosebumps because I'm thinking back to 2016 when these two people attended an event that I was hosting and and they connected on that event. And they both formed a band. And six months later, their first album came out. And now after, you know, the lockdowns are over and there's concerts again playing in Vienna and sometimes they play. And I sit in the audience and when I hear people clap, I'm thinking this like I was a little part of what happened here because I was networking in my in my social life. And this goes with what AJ was saying, you may feel content in your career or there's no reason for you to network and you're happy where things are. But I've been saying this on the show for a while now that you should have several missions in your life. You should be putting together several things. Maybe you have a a family romantic mission of what you want that to be like and what you're going to build for yourself. Perhaps you have a hobby mission of something that you want to do on a creative level. And then you have your career mission. I certainly have all three of those for myself. And you can have as many as you want. Obviously, the more you have, the more scattered you're going to be. I like for myself, my two main ones. And because I just moved to Vegas from LA last year, there was two main missions on my mind. Number one is always going to be AOC and the work that we do here and its importance and how we're trying to change the world. The second one is my my second, my slash career and my hobby, which is which is music.  And I had decided that the mission that I was going to take on as I moved to Vegas was to jump into the music scene to go along with Michael and to make a record, at least the demos putting it together and the idea of getting a record together based on the music that I had written during the pandemic. It was a weird time in all of our lives. I wanted to document that time and music being a medium that I love using to create that was high on my list. And as things started opening up and I started meeting people here, as I started talking about what I was doing here, that mission of of music making this record was at top of my mind, especially while I'm going out to see shows, because that's the community that I enjoy and we'll be discussing that in a bit. But it has opened so many doors for myself. And yet I'm incredibly new to this this scene here in Vegas. It has been so much fun because it has allowed me to be purposeful in the conversations that I'm having, what I want to get out of these relationships. And of course, more importantly, how can I contribute? And I had started that networking well before things opened up in Vegas. I had started that networking the minute that I realized I was moving to Las Vegas. And I was and I started that from the comfort of my own living room in Los in Los Angeles. And let's talk about how you're able to start that, because in order for us to become great networkers, we have to first look at our own social capital bank account and think about what we have to offer before we start focusing on what we can get from others. And we define social capital is really three things that every single person on this planet has, no matter how junior you might think you are. If you are a fresh college graduate, you have social capital. You may not realize it yet. Social capital as we define it is your relationships, your knowledge or expertise and emotional support. These are three things that you bring into every networking situation as something you have to offer others. And no matter how junior you may be, you have some relationships. You have friends.  You had people you've worked with in your internship. Or if you're senior, you have a ton of relationships, most likely. And we work with a lot of clients who are in that phase of their career. They're senior, they're in the C-suite and they're asking us, you know, I've reached all of my career goals, what's next for me? And the one thing that we say over and over again is how can we help the people below us get to that exact same level? That's just as fulfilling.  How about looking two, three rungs below you and saying, what do I have to offer these people who aspire to get to my level? That's incredibly rewarding. The second bucket is knowledge. You have knowledge, whether you realize it or not. Guess what? If you know TikTok, you have more knowledge around TikTok than the three of us combined. And you have incredible value to companies who are trying to reach to the younger generations on new social platforms. We have a member, Todd, in our X Factor Accelerator, who is getting started in digital marketing and he was struggling to figure out what he could do as an intern to really help businesses. And I was like, Todd, we don't know TikTok. And I don't have the time to understand all the nuance of TikTok. You're on it every day. You have knowledge in that area. The third is the easiest of all three, emotional support. What are you doing to celebrate those around you? How are you giving, as Johnny said, that attention, that appreciation, acceptance to others? What about when people are going through difficult times? Are you there to be that shoulder for them to lean on? Are you there to pick up their spirits? That is another form of social capital that we all have to offer. So as we go through this section around social capital, we're going to be asking you to really first look introspectively around what you bring to the table. What do you bring to that lunch? What do you bring to that coffee? What are you putting out there on LinkedIn for others to see the social capital you have to offer? We drop great content each and every week, and we want to make sure that you guys get notified. And in order to do that, you're going to have to smash that subscribe button and hit that notification bell. And if you've gotten a lot of value out of this, make sure you give us a like and share our videos with your friends to go along with that. And I want to I want to discuss two strategies in networking that people may or may not be familiar with. And this is where a lot of people run into problems because they don't see it as two different strategies. One is defensive networking strategies. So an example of that would be I'm going to this networking event. I'm going to dress my best. I'm going to put on a smile. I'm going to chat with the people who are around me. But at that moment, I'm going to hope for the best, right? I'm going to hope that I meet the people that I need to. And that things work out well for me. As you see in that hope is part of that strategy. So why is it defensive? Because you're setting up, you're getting a base and you're you're doing your best to chat with the people that come to you. That's defensive versus what are your offensive strategies? Did you do any research? Do you know who you're looking for? Do you know your own self worth? So when you have those opportunities, you're able to pitch rather than hoping that it all just comes together. And this isn't this is incredibly important because when I start digging in to our clients and in the X factor of what they are doing in their networking and I hear while I went to this thing and I talked to the folks around me and nothing really came out of it. What were your offensive strategies? How'd you go into it? What was your plan? What? Well, I did what you guys told me I went and I talked to the folks around me. That's defensive strategies. And that's good. You want a good mix of defensive and offensive strategies because having an offensive strategy allows you to then take control of of the situation of who you're going to meet. And in order to put together an offensive strategy, you have to have a mission because you have to know what you need. You have to know where you already are. This puts the ball in your hands and you got to put it. You got to get yourself together and collected. And do what's right. And by bringing in a mix of both, you are going to maximize those networking opportunities. This is why it's so important to be clear on why you're going and what do you have? And I want to say another point in having a mission and doing your research and understanding your worth. This brings up an interesting point. One of the points that you brought up, AJ, was the emotional support, right? To give people the attention, approval and acceptance. They need to feel good on their mission, on their journey. And I see this a lot where people are like, well, I told my friends if they need any help to hit me up. You know, they didn't they didn't hit me up. Is that defensive or is that offensive? It's defensive. We think it's offensive. We think it's offensive. You're putting the ball in the other person's court.  And as we know, asking for help, asking for support is one of the most difficult things we all do as humans. Many of us are completely averse to asking for help. So if you're like, hey, just let me know when you need help or let me know how I can help you without suggesting anything that you think might be helpful without being proactive about it.  Now, one of our recent guests, Susan MacPherson, gave us an incredible offensive strategy that many aren't utilizing. So if you have an event coming up, go to the attendee list, add all of those people on LinkedIn, send a little message. I'm excited to meet you and start offering emotional support or growing your social capital before the event by commenting and liking the post that these people are putting out on LinkedIn. That's the simplest form of emotional support. Have I met this person in real life? No. Do I have any connection to them? Not yet, but I'm excited to meet them at the event. And now I'm playing an offensive strategy. And guess what? They will have seen my face on LinkedIn. They will have had some warm and fuzzies for seeing some comments that are relevant to what they're posting. And when they see my face in that room, odds are they're probably going to feel compelled to talk to me, maybe even approach me. All of that took minutes. It didn't take hours. It didn't take years. And it puts you in a position that 90 plus percent are not doing. They're playing defense. They're showing up thinking that's enough. If you consider yourself a top performer, you know that showing up is not enough to get you there.


Yo, what's going on Leafernation, it's Leafer back again and welcome back to another NHL 21 video. Today, we are doing an icon set where we want to try to pull a player that I really, really, really want. So you guys saw me get Darcy Tucker after doing the Leafs collection.  Today we're going to try and pull a card that I think is going to be Super OP and I might be a little biased towards it like the Tucker card, but yeah. So today, we're trying to pull none other than Matt Sundeen. That's right, we're doing an 86 overall icon. We have four chances at Sundeen. There are a lot of 86s. There are four 86 overall goalies. So there's a possibility I can get all four goalies. Hopefully that's not the case. We do want this Matt Sundeen. I love the Carter. The Carter alone has it sold, like that jersey, the patch with the gardens on it. With the synergies, he looks good without he's decent. So we're hoping and praying to God I'm able to pull Matt Sundeen. This card is just beautiful. So with that being said, we're putting our two icon collectibles into this set to try and get Matt Sundeen. Here we go. Complete the set. Let's go open up this pack. All right. Like I said, four chances at it. We're going to open it up with our nose actually. Four chances at this Matt Sundeen. We want him. We want him. We want him. So here we go. I'm going to be my favorite player. One of my favorite players growing up. So here we go. Four chances at this guy. Reveal item. One Stanley Cup. So I don't think this is Sundeen. Two James Norris. Okay. Leech. All right. Brian Leech. Not a bad card. Like you could definitely use him. It's not Matt Sundeen though. It's not Matt Sundeen. So we got Brian Leech. Not a bad card. Not a bad card to be very honest with you. Right now he's our number one choice. But we don't know what our other options are. Okay. Card number two. Six Stanley Cup. So not Sundeen. I don't think this is a goalie. No it isn't. Okay. So I mean we're not going to take Trochi. I'd rather have Leech. We only have two more chances at Matt Sundeen right now. Which makes me very sad. Come on. One Stanley Cup. Ugh. I shouldn't knew it wasn't Sundeen. Charlie Connaker. Not bad. We do get a leaf. I don't know if I'd take him over Leech though. I'll be very honest with you. It's not bad. All right. Come on. This one's Matt Sundeen. We're hitting it with our nose. Please be Diener. No. It's not Matt Sundeen. So we didn't get Matt Sundeen. Consomice. One James Norris. The Devils. Need a Meyer. Ooh. Ooh. Okay. God. I was trying for that Sundeen. Don't get me wrong. I bummed out about not getting Sundeen. But Need a Meyer ain't bad. Oh my God. Need a Meyer is not bad at all. Okay. You know what? To be honest we're very lucky. We'd even pull one goalie out of the four that were there. I think we are going to go with Scott Need a Meyer though. I think this is the card to go with. He's the best one out of the four. With the synergies. His endurance, his speed, his wrist shop power. Deaking, puck control, defensive awareness is amazing. Even without the synergies this card is amazing. I think I take him over Brian Leach. I don't want Connaker or Trottier. Trottier. So we're going to go with none other than Scott Need a Meyer man. He's going to be a great addition to the team. I'm excited to use him. So we'll slot him into the lineup and try him out. All right. So there he is. We slotted in. Scott Need a Meyer. He'll be playing alongside Seth Jones. Like I said, I'm still bummed out that we didn't get to pull the Matt Sundeen. But I'm super pumped to try out Scott Need a Meyer. He's going to be a ton of fun to use. And yeah, let's get into a game and try him out. All right. Time to try out this Scott Need a Meyer. We're on some good ping. We're playing a Habs fan. Let's see how Scotty plays, man. I want a big goal from him. I'll be honest with you. To Scott. Scott Need a Meyer. Oh my God. The speed. Oh, what a take from Scotty, bro. That should have went in, to be honest. What a save from his netminder. We like that rough from him though. And he's right back on defense. We love that. He's going to come out with this, isn't he? Yeah. And he's in a score. What a save by Price. Let's go. Darcy. Over to Lemieux. Bang. Bang. 1-0. Great first shift from Need a Meyer. I have to do say so myself. 1-0 from none other than Mario Lemieux and Darcy Tucker. And said, Jones. Beautiful. Take off now. Get that across. Panarin. Artemy. Late kick. 2-0. Bang. Good goal. 2-1. It was a huge defensive breakdown. My lines were trying to change. And I'm trying to tell them to stay on, but they didn't want to. Bad defensive breakdown for me. 2-1. It's all good. There we go. Let's go, Tago. You have to speed to beat him.  Oh, no. Defensive breakdown. Just get out of the period, please. All right. Well, hectic end to the period, but we're really liking this. Scott Needmeyer is feeling real good. Like that one rush he had right off the bat, man. Dude, I wish he scored there. But hey, 2-1. Very even game, to be honest. We're getting a little out of work in the offensive zone. We've got to be way better defensively. Second period. I feel a big Scott Needmeyer goal this period. I don't know if that's just me. Out of boy Needmeyer. Great defensive play. There you go, Lemieux. Find someone out in front. Mitch. Want to save? There you go. Get that across. There you go, Besser. Get that across. Oh, I.S. Pedersen gives us some more breathing room. Needmeyer on the ice. That's a plus for him. 3-1. This has been a sweaty, sweaty game, and I am not a fan of it. That is a trip, my good sir. You cannot do that. That's another trip. Get out of here, dog. What are you doing? Oh, my God. All right. Well, that was a failed 5-1-3. Needmeyer is fresh on the ice, though. Oh, my God. What a feed for Needmeyer. How Panera didn't score there is beat on me. Bang, Lemieux. Two. Shot. No. Couldn't get anything good. Not a bad period. Needmeyer should have had an assist towards the end. I don't know how Panera didn't pot that in, but we're looking good. A very, very even and sweaty game, and I need a towel. I don't know if Needmeyer has a point this game, but he's been playing good. That's a point. Needmeyer has been playing very good. I want to Needmeyer Rister if I can go in here. He has a fire Rister. I need to get him in the slot, and we took a penalty with him. All right. That was on me and on Needmeyer. What a block. He just probably saved the goal there, but he did take a penalty because I'm stupid, so that's good. Excuse me? EA? Is that a goal this year? Is that a thing? What just happened, dude? Are you kidding me, carry price? This, this is, that's unreal. That is unreal, dude. Nice goal, dude, for sure. Well deserved. 3-2, nice. This game has been more sweaty than it needs to be. I can tell you that much, boys. Bang. What a goal. Phillip Forsberg. Back on top.  There you go, Needmeyer. Go for a skate, buddy. I see some open ice for you.  I, dude, he's on an unreal skater. Wait for the trailer. Darcy, what a save, man. Let's go, Lemieux. Get that in front.  That got blocked on the way there, too. Slowed it down. Forsberg. Gets around Goudas. One last goal. Bang, that was dirty. Dirty goal. Phillip Forsberg, the self-bank pass. Over to, I don't know who it was anymore. Bergeron, nice. Awesome. Let's go, boys. Big W, 5-2, I believe. All right, boys. That is game. We win 5-2, like I said. I don't think Needmeyer put any points up on the board, but he felt amazing. So let's go look at the stat sheets here. See what exactly he did. So he was a plus-2, like I said. He didn't put up many points. He had a shot-on goal. Honestly, big fan of him. He's a very good skater, very fast. If he gets caught, he can get back real quick. When he goes up onto the plate, he comes straight back. So yeah, this Needmeyer card, definitely worth it. If you get him in the 86 set, I recommend you get him. Amazing card.

Chapter 51 Part 2 of Dogs and All About Them. This is a LibriVox recording. All LibriVox recordings are in the public domain. For more information or to volunteer, please visit LibriVox.org. Dogs and All About Them by Robert Layton. Chapter 51 Part 2. Constipation, more commonly called costiveness, is also a very common complaint. It often occurs in the progress of other diseases, but is just as often a separate ailment. Perhaps no complaint to which arcane friends are liable is less understood by the non-professional dog doctor and by dog owners themselves, often caused by weakness in the codes of the intestine. The exhibition of purgatives can only have a temporary effect in relieving the symptoms and is certain to be followed by reaction and consequently by further debility. Want of exercise and bath common cause. Yewat was never more correct in his life than when he said, Many dogs have a dry constipated habit, often greatly increased by the bones on which they are fed. This favors the disposition to mange, etc. It produces indigestion, encourages worms, blackens the teeth, and causes fetid breath. Symptoms. The stools are hard, usually in large round balls, and defecation is accomplished with great difficulty. The animal often having to try several times before he succeeds in affecting the act, and this only after the most acute suffering. The feces are generally covered with white mucus, showing the heat and semi-dry condition of the gut. The stool is sometimes so dry as to fall to pieces like so much oatmeal. There is generally also a deficiency of bile in the motions, and in addition to simple costiveness, we have more or less loss of appetite, with a two-pail tongue, dullness, and sleepiness, with slight redness of the conjunctiva. Sometimes constipation alternates with diarrhea, the food being improperly commingled with a gastric and other juices, for meds, spoils, and becomes, instead of healthy blood-producing clime, an irritant purgative. Treatment. Hygienic treatment more than medicinal. Mild doses of castor oil, compound rhubarb peel, or olive oil may at first be necessary. Sometimes an enema will be required if the medicine will not act. Plenty of exercise and a swim daily, with a good run after the swim, or instead of the swim, a back-at-bath, water thrown over the dog. Give oatmeal rather than flour or fine bread, as the staple of his diet, but a goodly allowance of meat is to be given as well, with cabbage or boiled liver, or even a portion of raw liver. Fresh air and exercise in the fields, you may give a bolus before dinner, such as the following. Compound rhubarb peel, 1-5 grains, quinine, 1-8-2 grains, extract of taraxacum, 2-10 grains, mix. Fits. Whatever be the cause, they are very alarming. In puppies, they are called convulsions and resemble epileptic fits. Keep the dog very quiet, but use little force, simply enough to keep him from hurting himself. Keep out of the sun or in a darkened room, when he can swallow. Give from 2-20 grains, according to size of bromide of potassium in the little camp or water. Thrice daily for a few days. Only milk food. Keep quiet. Skin diseases. In the whole range of dog ailments included in the term canine pathology, there are none more bothersome to treat successfully, nor more difficult to diagnose than those of the skin. There are none either that afford the quack or patent nostrum monger, a larger field for the practice of his film dish gifts. If I were to be asked the questions, why do dogs suffer so much from skin complaints and why does it appear to be so difficult to treat them? I should answer the first thus. Through the neglect of their owners, from want of cleanliness, from injudicious feeding, from bad kenneling and from permitting their favorites such free intercourse with other members of the canine fraternity, overcrowding is another and distinct source of skin troubles. My answer to the second question is that the layman too often treats the trouble in the skin as if it were the disease itself, whereas it is generally merely a symptom thereof. Examples, the plaster medicated oils or ointments all over the skin of a dog suffering from constitutional eczema is about as sensible as would be the painting white of the yellow skin in jaundice in order to cure the disordered liver. But even those contagious diseases that are caused by skin germs or animal cues will not be wholly cured by any applications whatever. Constitutional remedy should go hand-in-hand with this. And indeed, so great is the defensive power of strong, pure blood, rich in its white carpa sauce or lusakites that I believe I could cure even the worst forms of mange by internal remedies, good food and tonics, et cetera, without the aid of any dressing whatever except pure cold water. In treating of skin diseases, it is usual to divide them into three sections. One, the non-contagious. Two, the contagious. And three, elements caused by external parasites. One, the non-contagious. A, erythema. This is a redness with slight inflammation of the skin, the deeper tissues underneath not being involved. Examples. That scene between the wrinkles of well-bred pugs, mastiffs or bulldogs or inside the thighs of greyhounds, et cetera. If the skin breaks, there may be discharges of pus and if the case is not cured, the skin may thicken and crack and the dog may make matters worse with his tongue. Treatment. Review and correct the methods of feeding. A dog should be neither too gross nor too lean. Exercise, perfect cleanliness to early morning sluice down with cold water and aqueousia tonic. He may need a laxative as well. Locally. Dusting with oxide of zinc or the violet powder of the nurseries, a lotion of lead or arnica. Fomentation followed by cold water and when dry, dusting as above. A weak solution of boracic acid, any chemist will sometimes do good. B, prurigo. Itching all over, whether without scurf, sometimes thickening. Treatment. Regulation of diet, green vegetables, fruit if he will take it, brushing and grooming but never roughly. Try for worms and for fleas. C, eczema. The name is not a happy one as supply to the usual itching skin disease of dogs. Eczema proper is an eruption in which the formed matter dries off into scales or scabs. And dog eczema, so called, is as often as not a speci of lichen. Then of course it is often accompanied with women, nearly always with dirt and it is irritated out of all character by the biting and scratching of the dog himself. Treatment. Must be both constitutional and local. Attend to the organs of digestion. Keep a moderate dose of opening medicine to clear away offending matter. This simple appearance may be repeated occasionally, say once a week. And if diarrhea be present, it may be checked by the addition of a little morphia or dilute sulfuric acid. Cream of tartar with sulfur is an excellent derivative. Being both diuretic and diaphoretic, but it must not be given in doses large enough to purge. At the same time, we may give thrice daily atonic pill like the following. Sulfate of quinine, 1a to 3 grains. Sulfate of iron, 1 half grain to 5 grains. Extract of hysoymus, 1a to 3 grains. Extract of taraxacum and glycerin enough to make a pill. Locally. Perfect cleanliness. Cooling lotion spatted on to the sore places. Sprat skewer. Benzoated zinc ointment after the lotion has dried in. Wash carefully once a week using the ointment when skin is dry or the lotion to allay irritation. Two. Contagious skin diseases. These are usually called mange proper and follicular mange or skebies. I want to say a word on the latter first. It depends upon a microscopic animal cube called the acarus folliculorum. The trouble begins by the formation of patches from which the hair falls off and on which may be noticed a few pimples. Skebs form, the patches extend or come out on other parts of the body. Head, legs, belly or sides. Skin becomes red in white hair dogs. Other of this trouble very offensive. More pain than itching seems to be the symptomatic rule. Whole body may become affected. Treatment. Dress the affected parts twice a week with the following. Creosote, two drums. Linsid oil, seven ounces. Solution of pot ash, one ounce. First mix the creosote and oil then add the solution and shake. Better to shave the hair off around the patches. Kenals must be kept clean with garden soap and hot water and all bedding burned after use. From three months to six will be needed to cure bad cases. Mange proper is also caused by a parasite or acarus called the sarcopscanus. Unlike eczema, this mange is spread from dog to dog by touch or intercommunication just as one person catches the each from another. The symptoms. At first this may escape attention but there are vesicles which the dog scratches and breaks and thus the disease spreads. The hair gets matted and falls off. Regions of the body most commonly affected. Head, chest, back, rump and extremities. There may not be much constitutional disturbance from the actual injury to the skin but from his suffering so much from the irritation and the want of rest, the health suffers. Treatment. Avoid the use of so called disinfectants. Most of those sold as such are simply deodorizers and applied to the skin are useless. Nor are they of much use in cleaning the kennels. Nothing suits better for woodwork than first carbolic wash and then a thorough scrubbing with hot water and garden soap. Some ointment must be used to the skin and as I am writing for laymen only I feel cherry in recommending such strong ones as the green iodide of mercury. If you do use it, mix it with twice its bulk of the compound soul for ointment. Do over only a part or two at a time. The dog to be washed after three days. But the compound soul for ointment itself is a splendid application and it is not dangerous. Skin complaints from vermin. The treatment is obvious. Get rid of the costs. As their diagnosis is so difficult, whenever the dog owner is in doubt, make certain by treating the dog not only by local applications but constitutionally as well. In addition to good diet, perfect cleanliness of coat, kennel and all surroundings and application of the ointment or oil let the dog have all the fresh air possible. And exercise but never overexciting or too fatiguing. Then a course of arsenic seldom fails to do good. I do not believe in beginning the exhibition of arsenic too soon. I prefer paying my first attentions to the digestive organs and state of the bowels. The form of exhibition which I have found suit as well as any is a tasteless liquor arsenicalis. It is easily administered. It ought to be given mixed with the food as it ought to enter the blood with a kyle from the diet. It ought day by day to be gradually not hurriedly increased. Symptoms of loathing of food and redness of conjunctiva call for the cessation of its use for two or three days at least when it is to be recommended at the same size of those given when left off. There are two things which assist the arsenic at least to go well with it. They are iron in some form and viral. The latter will be needed when there is much loss of flesh. A simple peel of soap fate of iron and extract of liquorice may be used. Those of liquor arsenicalis from one to six drops ter die to commence with gradually increased to five to twenty drops. Dandruff. A scaly or scurvy condition of the skin with more or less of irritation. It is really a shedding of the scaly epidermis brought on by injudicious feeding or want of exercise as a primary cause. The dog in cases of this kind needs cooling medicines such as small doses of the nitrate and chlorates of patash, perhaps less food. Bowls to be seen to by giving plenty of green food with a morsel of ship's mouth or rolyver occasionally. Wash about once in three weeks. A very little borax in the last water, say a drum to a gallon. Use mild soap. Never use a very hard brush or sharp comb. Tar soap rites may be tried. Parasites internal. Worms. We have, roughly speaking, two kinds of worms to treat in the dog. One, the round, and two, the tape. One, round worms. They are in shape and size, not unlike the garden worm, but harder, pale, and pointed. Symptoms. Sometimes these are alarming. For the worm itself is occasionally seized with the mania for foreign travel and finds its way into the throat or nostrils, causing the dog to become perfectly few use and inducing such pain and agony that it may seem charity to end its life. The worms may also crawl into the stomach and give rise to great irritation, but are usually dislodged therefrom by the violence accompanying the act of vomiting. Their usual habitat, however, is the small intestines for the occasion great distress to their host. The appetite is always depraved and voracious. At times there is colic with sickness and perhaps vomiting, and the bowels are alternately constipated or loose. The coat is harsh and staring. They're usually a short, dry cup from reflex irritation of the bronchial mucus membrane about smelling breath and initiation or at least considerable poverty of flesh. The disease is most common in puppies and in young dogs. The appearance of the ascaris in the dog's stool is, of course, the diagnostic symptom. Treatment. I have cured many cases with santonine and aricannut, powder, betel nut, those 10 grains to two drums or turpentine, those from 10 drops to one and one half drums, beaten up with yolk of egg. But aricannut does better for tapeworm, so we cannot do better than trust to pure santonine. The dose is from one grain for a toy up to six grains for a mastiff. Mix it with a little butter and stick it well back in the roof of the dog's mouth. He must have fasted previously for 12 hours and had a dose of castor oil the day before. In four or five hours after he has swallowed the santonine, let him have a dose of either olive oil or decoction of alos. Those, two drums to two ounces or more, repeat the treatment in five days. Sprat's cure may be safely depended on for worms. The perfect cleanliness of the kennel is of paramount importance. The animal's general health requires looking after and he may be brought once more into good condition by proper food and of course of vegetable tonics. If wanted in show condition, we have plasmod to fall back upon and borrows and welcomes extract of malt. There is a roundworm which at times infests the dog's bladder and may cause occlusion of the urethra. A whipworm inhabiting the cecum. Another may occupy a position in the mucus membrane of the stomach. Some infest the blood and others the eye. Two, tapeworms. There are several kinds, but the treatment is the same in all cases. The commonest in the country is the cucko marine. This is a tapeworm of about 15 inches in average length. Although I have taken them from Newfoundland paps fully 30 inches long. It is a semi-transparent endtozoan. Each segment is long compared to its breath and narrowed at both ends. Each joint has, when detached, an independent sexual existence. The dog often becomes infested with his parasite from eating ship's brains and dogs does afflicted and allowed to remote pleasure over fields and hills where ships are fed, so the seeds of gidd in our flocks to any extent. We know too well the great use of colly dogs to the shepherd or grazier to advise that dogs should not be employed as assistants but surely it would be to their owner's advantage to see that they were kept in a state of health and cleanliness. Treatment. We ought to endeavor to prevent as well as to cure. We should never allow our dogs to eat the entrails of hairs or rabbits.  Never permit them to lounge around butcher's shops nor eat awful of any kind. Let their food be well-cooked and their skins and kennels kept scrupulously clean. Dogs that are used for ship and cattle ought, twice a year at least, to go under treatment for the expulsion of worms, whether they are infested or not. An antelmentic would make sure and could hardly hurt them. For the expulsion of tapeworms, we depend mostly on Arikanat in order that the tapeworm should receive the full benefit of the remedy and order a dose of castor oil the day before in the morning and recommend no food to be given that day except beef, tea, or mutton broth. The bowels are thus empty next morning so that the parasite cannot shelter itself anywhere and is therefore sure to be acted on. Infusion of cusco is sometimes used as an antelmentic so is warmwood and the liquid extract of male fern and in America, spigilia root and pumpkin seeds. The best tonic to give in cases of worms is the extract of coesia. Extract of coesia, 1-10 grains. Extract of high-siamus, 1.5-5 grains to make one pill, thrice daily. Parasites external. Fleece, washing with sprouts, medicated soap, extra clean kennels, dusting with keating and afterwards washing. This may not kill the fleece, but it drives them off. Take the dog on the grass while dusting and begin along the spine. Never do it in the house. Ticks. I have noticed these disagreeable bloodsuckers only on the heads and bodies of sporting or colly dogs who had been boring for some time through covers and thickets.  They belong to the natural family, Ixodia de. Treatment. If not very numerous, they should be cut off and apart-touched with the little turps. The sulfurite of calcium will also kill them so will the more dangerous white precipitate or even a strong solution of carbolic acid which must be used sparingly, however. Lies. The lies are hatched from nits which we find clinging in rows and very tenaciously too to the hairs. The insects themselves are more difficult to find but they are on puppies sometimes in thousands. To destroy them, I have tried several plants. Oil is very effectual and has safety to recommend it. Common sweet oil is as good as cure as any and you may add a little oil of anise and some sublime sulfur which will increase the effect. Quasia water may be used to damp the coat. The matted portions of a long-haired dog's coat must be cut off with scissors for there the lies often lurk. The oil dressing will not kill the nits so that vinegar must be used. After a few days, the dressing must be repeated. And so on three or four times. To do any good, the whole of the dog's coat must be drenched in oil and the dog washed with good dog soap and warm water twelve hours afterwards.

For more information or to volunteer, please visit LibriVox.org Recording by Tom Clifton Dogs and All About Them Chapter 52 The Dog and the Law Privileges of First Bite It is popularly but rather erroneously supposed that every dog is entitled to one bite. Perhaps it'd be more accurate to state that every dog may with impunity have one snap or one intended bite, but only dogs of hitherto interapproachable character are permitted the honor of a genuine, tasteful bite. Once a dog, however, has displayed dangerous propensities even though he has never had the satisfaction of affecting an actual bite and once his owner or the person who harbors him becomes aware of these evil inclinations, sianter, either of his own knowledge or by notice, the law looks upon such a dog as a dangerous beast at his peril. The onus of proof is on the victim to show that the owner had previous knowledge of the animal's ferocity though in reality very little evidence of sianter is as a rule required and notice need not necessarily be given directly to the owner but to any person who has charge of the dog. The person attacked has yet another remedy. Even after being bitten. By twenty-eight and twenty-nine Victoria Chapter Sixty the owner of a dog which attacks sheep or cattle and cattle includes horses is responsible for all damage and there is no necessity to prove previous evil propensities. This act is wholly repealed by the act called the Dogs Act 1906 which came into forces on January 1st 1907 but the new act re-enact the section where it is not necessary for the person's claiming damages to show a previous mischievous propensity in the dog or the owner's knowledge of set's previous propensity or show that the injury was attributable to neglect on the part of the owner. The word cattle includes horses, asses, sheep, goats and swine. The law looks upon fighting between dogs as a natural and necessary incident so provided the fight was a fair one and the contestants appear to consider it so. The owner, however, of a peacefully disposed dog which is attacked and injured or killed by one savage and unrestrained has the right of action against the owner of the letter. The owner of the peacefully disposed animal may justifiably kill the savage brute in order to save his dog but he must run the risk of being able to prove that this was the only means for the dog. Every dog owner must annually take out a license for each dog he keeps. The license which is obtainable at all post offices at the cost of seven shilling six pence is dated run from the hour it was taken out until the following 31st December. The person in whose custody or upon whose premises the dog is found will be deemed its owner of the dog under the age of six months. Two. Hounds under twelve months old either used or hunted with the pack provided that the master has taken out proper licenses for all hounds entered in the pack. Three. One dog kept and used by a blind person solely for his or her guidance. Four. Dogs kept and used solely for the purpose of tending sheep or cattle or in the exercise of the occupation under the Contagious Diseases Animals Act 1878-1894 local authorities that is county, borough or district councils were empowered to issue orders regulating the musling of dogs in public places and the keeping of dogs under control otherwise than by musling offenders under these acts are liable to affine not exceeding twenty pounds. The statute 57 and 58 for musling dogs keeping them under control and the detention and disposal of stray dogs in section two of the Dogs Act 1906 known by some as the Curfew Bell Act says that the Diseases of Animals Act 1894 shall have effect. A. for prescribing and regulating the wearing by dogs while in a highway or in a place of public resort of a collar with the name and address of the owner inscribed on the collar plate or badge attached thereto. B. with a view to the prevention of wearing cattle for preventing dogs or any class of dogs from straying during all or any of the hours between sunset and sunrise. Stray dogs The Dogs Act 1906 has some important sections dealing with the seizure of stray dogs and an acts that where a police officer has reason to believe that any dog found in a highway or in a place of public resort is a stray dog. He may seize and retain it until the owner has claimed it and paid off all expenses incurred by reason of its detention. If the dog so sees where is a collar on which is the address of any person or if the dog is known then the chief officer of the police or some person authorized by him on that behalf shall serve on either such person a notice in writing stating failing the owner putting in an appearance and paying all expenses of detention within the seven clear days then the chief officer of police or any person authorized by him may cause the dog to be sold or destroyed in a manner to cause as little pain as possible. The police must keep a proper register of all dogs seized and every such register shall be opened to inspection at all reasonable times by any member of the public and the police may transfer such dog to any establishment for the reception of stray dogs but only if there is proper register kept at such establishment open to inspection by the public on payment of a fee not to exceed one shilling. Another section enacts that any person who takes possession of a stray dog shall forthwith either return the dog to its owner or give notice in writing to the dog and stating the place where the dog was found and the place where he is being detained and any person failing to comply with the provisions of this section shall be liable on conviction under the summary jurisdiction acts to affine not exceeding 40 shillings. Importation of dogs The power of making orders dealing with the importation of dogs is vested in the Board of Agriculture who have absolute authority in the matter the initial step to be taken by a person wishing to import a dog into Great Britain from any other country excepting Ireland the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man is that he must fill up an application form to the said Board which he had previously obtained from them in which he applies for a license to land the dog under the conditions imposed by the Board which he undertakes to obey. On the forum he has to give a full description of the dog the name and address of the owner the proposed Port of Landing list which you will receive from the Board he must select the carrying agents he proposes should superintend the movement of the dog from the Port of Landing to the place of detention and also the premises of a veterinary surgeon on which he proposes the dog shall be detained and isolated as required by the order an imported dog must be landed and taken to the place of detention in a suitable box, hamper, crate or other receptacle and as a general rule has to remain entirely isolated motor cars and dogs unquestionably the greatest enemy that a dog possesses at the present time is the motor car presuming the owner of the dog is fortunate enough to know whose car it was that ran over his dog and to have some evidence of excessive or unreasonable speed or other negligence on the part of the car driver at the time of the accident he will find the law ever ready to assist him a dog has every bit as much right to the high road as a motor car efforts have been made on the part of motor owners to get the courts to hold that dogs on a high road are only under proper control if on a lead and that if they are not on a lead the owner of them is guilty of negligence in allowing his dog to stroll about and therefore is not entitled to recover such efforts have not been successful even supposing a court to hold that the fact of a dog being loose in this way or unaccompanied was evidence of negligence against his owner for the law is that though a plaintiff may have been negligent in some way as this yet if the defendant could by the exercise of reasonable care have avoided the accident the plaintiff can still recover there are several cases that decide this valuable principle end of chapter 52 end of dogs and all about them by Robert Layton


The Ukrainian army is advancing through the Russian defenses in the south, this was reported by the US Institute for the Study of War American analysts say Ukrainian troops are advancing in the border areas west of Donetsk and east of Zaporizhzhia, as well as west of Zaporizhzhai.at the same time, according to Institute for the Study of War. Ukrainian forces must gradually clear the area of mines before advancing. The US Institute emphasized that such obstacles prevent rapid progress Ukrainian government to retake all of the territory that Russia has seized since 2014, including Crimea. To achieve this goal, through military action, the Ukrainian military must accomplish one of the most daunting of military tasks, it must break through dense, well-prepared defensive positions, find some running room, and then either move quickly toward an important geographic objective such as the Sea of Ozov, hoping to unravel the remains of the defending Russian army along the way, or quickly attempt to encircle a portion of Russia's sizable forces in hopes of annihilating them.
