Paul Wolfe didn't know he had so many friends.
He sat in the St. Matthew's Anglican Church Hall with a smile on his face, surrounded by his Florence neighbours, all whom had donated money to help him get back on his feet again.
In March, Wolfe had been working in the basement of his home for three hours. Then he went to help a neighbour at his woodlot. Dawn-Euphemia Mayor Al Broad found him there and told him his house on the edge of the village was on fire.
By the time the smoke had cleared, there was nothing left.
Shirley Sewell, the warden of St. Matthew's, says neighbours started helping Wolfe out immediately. A coin jar was set up and clothing was bought with the proceeds. A few people in Florence cleaned out his mother's home which had been vacant for a while, so he would have a place to stay.
As the community helped after the fire, Sewell says it became apparent he was having more trouble than they thought. Wolfe supports himself by cutting lawns and has 28 customers in Florence, Bothwell, Dresden and Dawn Mills.
His lawnmower was in the shop for repairs. His truck that he towed it with had bald tires, and the trailer would soon need to be replaced.
So the church decided to hold a lunch in his honour with the goal of helping him get back on his feet again. The tiny hall was filled with friends and neighbours, something Wolfe said he never expected.
"I'm amazed," he says. "There are a lot of people come for me, to see me and have dinner with me," he said smiling.
"I never realized; I have a lot of friends.
"One person said to me, 'You help everybody, now you're on the side of the road so now it's my turn to help you.'
"And now I say, if they are in trouble, I'll help them too."
Sewell says she isn't surprised how many people came out to help Wolfe because of his pleasant nature. "He's so appreciative of everyone helping him…this is going to keep him going."

Dr. H.R. Hoover —
I was called in to see Tobe Brooks on Dec 27th 1896 He was at Jack Woodards it was about 4 o'clock in the afternoon. I found him lying on the bed & there was a bullet wound on the left side of his forehead. There was blood & brain matter oosing from that wound. The face around the wound was backbend & burned from powder as I thought. I examined the wound as completely as possible & found that it was a fracture of the skull. I find that there was a bullet wound as I thought in the jaw but was not able to trace it. In regard to the wound in the skull I found the tissues very badly swollen. I washed the wound thoroughly & put cloth over it & called again Monday the 28th 96. His condition was unchanged so far as I could see. Called again 29th inst. with Dr. R.A. Smith who I called in for consultation. After finding the tissues had gone down we decided to cut in & see if we could not find the bullet. We made the incision & found the bullet had penetrated the skull & a portion of it we found just inside of the skull pressing on the brain & the other fragment lying in the brain. We removed the fragments we found washed the wound & dressed it. /s/ H.R Hoover
Dr. R.A. Smith —
I saw Tobe Brooks with Dr. Hoover Tuesday Dec 29th 1896. I found him suffering with a gun shot wound he was suffering with gun shot wound in the forehead on the left side. The blood & brain were oosing from the wound. Dr. Hoover and I concluded to cut down on this wound & see if we could not find the bullet.I found a fragment of the bullet had passed through the skull & partly imbedded in the brain.Here the piece was shown. Found another piece shown imbedded in the fractured bone. Sewed the wound up & dressed it. The fracture in the skull was about three quarters of an inch. /s/ R.A. Smith
Post Mortem Report
On January 4th 1897 We were requested by the Jury of inquest over the body of Tobe Brooks to make a Post Mortem examination. On opening the skull we found that a wound had been made by a bullet about 32 caliber about one inch above the left eye brow and a little over one inch to the left of the median line of the brain. The ball penetrated the brain backwards and downwards till it reached about the middle of the brain where it was found resting on the floor of the cranium. We believe that the wound produced by the bullet found in the brain was sufficient to cause the death of the deceased. /s/ W.S. Anderson, H.R. Hoover

In 1918, the Atlantic Coast Realty Company commissioned this map of the "old Applewhite Farm" near Stantonsburg. Contentnea Creek runs along the western edge of much of the parcel, and a public road cuts across one end, creating a little pocket of land sandwiched between John Yelverton and Dr. S.H. Crocker's holdings. The main dwelling faced the road near a ditch at a corner of the property. Across the way, encircled above, were the houses of Applewhite's tenants, who were mostly (if not solely) African-American. Another cluster of tenant houses appears beyond a row of outbuildings on a farm road running parallel to the creek.
I have not been able to determine which Applewhite owned the property being subdivided, but based on a history of the property, it does not appear to have been William H. Applewhite.

Gen Daniel E. Sickles
I appeal to you for advice. Please give me the desired advice and tell me what course to pursue and ever believe me to be your obt svnt.
Last year my mother rented a farm of B.D. Rice Esqr in Nash County. He (Rice) was to find the team, and Mother the hands and board for them. All went on smoth during the year until the crop was made and housed. When that was done Esqr Rice then refused to settle with her (Mother) fairly and squarely, according to the contract.
The business has been placed in my hands to settle and I have tried all ways to settle with him honorably and I can not have it settle neither by law nor a compromise. He (Rice) is now due Mother not far from seven hundred dollars. Please advise me what course to pursue by so doing you would confer on me an everlasting favor never to be forgotten so long as any thing Earthly remains. In housing the crop he would not let her have her part.
I am Sir with great Respect, Your obt Srvt

The CHAIRMAN. I subpoenaed him, Mr. Blair.
The WITNESS. Mr. Barnes requested of me to stay, and so I staid.
Senator BLAIR. Did anybody else request you to stay? – A. I don't know if Mr. Vance [Zebulon B. Vance, Democrat-North Carolina] didn't say he would like for me to stay.
Q. You can't give the names of those people? – A. No, sir.
Q. How did everybody know you had anything to tell about this emigration? – A. They spoke to me in the depot, and I said I was going home from Indianapolis; and they asked me how I liked it, and I said I didn't like it all. I said to them "Do you know of a man here by the name of Mr. Barnes?" They said "Yes."

Q. Do you work out yourself? – A. I farm, sir.
Q. You rent land, do you? – A. Yes, sir.
Q. You mean, then, that you can work on the piece of land that you hire? – A. Yes, sir.
Q. You don't mean that your people generally can have labor by the day, every single day in the year? – A. They don't do much of that kind of hiring down there with us.
Q. You mean, then, they can work on their land or land that they hire? – A. Yes, sir.
Q. That there are a good many days that you don't have to work? – A. Yes, sir. There are a good many days when you won't have to work if you are up with your business.
Q. And it is in that way that you mean that you have work every day in the year? – A. Yes, sir.
Q. A man can do that in Indiana, can't he? – A. I didn't inquire about that.
Q. When you got there you didn't have any such work as that to do? – A. No, sir; I didn't.
Q. But you got a chance to dig sewers in Indianapolis? – A. Yes, sir, I struck it for a while.
Q. That is not good work for farmers to do, is it? – A. No, sir; but they tell me they don't have any use for farmers much until about March. I went round for about ten miles from the city all round. Some of them said they would take me in March, but I said I couldn't be there in March. They asked me where I was going to be. I said I reckon I would be dead if I staid there, for I must have something to eat between this and March.
Q. Yet you say you accumulated $7? – A. Yes, sir; but that's nothing to what I would get at home.
Q. You don't think you had the chance out there that you have at home? – A. Not the beginning of the chances.
Q. Isn't it a fact that a good many colored people have got chances to work, and have scattered out among the farmers and are doing well? – A. Well, sir, some of them have, and if they don't like it they say they do.
Q. If they don't like it they say they do? – A. Yes, sir; I don't see how they liked it though, when they say they can't get work and are about fit to starve.
Q. You think they don't tell it, then, as it is? – A. No, sir; I don't think so, because I could see their conditions myself.
Q. At the same time they seem to like it better than North Carolina? – A. Yes, sir.
Q. And you saw many men who have families, and who want to get back home? – A. Yes, sir; they told me.
Q. And these are the only ones you know who want to get back? – A. They are the only ones who told me so.
Q. You are a preacher, and a sociable sort of man, and you go round among them a great deal at Indianapolis? – A. I didn't have anything to say of the Scriptures among them.
Q. You saw them and talked with them, though? – A. Mighty little; I talked mighty little myself.
Q. But you saw most of them and talked with them? – A. I couldn't say that and tell the truth.
Q. But you saw a good deal of them? – A. Yes, sir; I saw a good deal of them.
Q. And two of them said they wanted to get back? – A. Yes, sir.
Q. Well, you seem to have a good deal of feeling in this matter? – A. Yes, sir; I have.
Q. And you want to get back home and die there? – A. Yes, sir.
Q. But you don't want to die right away, do you? – A. I hope not, but I am going to tell them not to go out there to Indiana; I ain't going myself no more; but I shall not pester them if they want to go and find out for themselves.
Q. You think they have a right to go if they want to? – A. Yes, sir.
Q. They have the same right to go to Indiana as a white man? – A. Yes, sir.
Q. Did you talk with the white people out there much as to whether they thought the colored people ought to go there? – A. No, sir.
Q. Did you see any politicians out there, and talk politics with them? – A. I don't talk politics with anybody if I can help it.
Q. Why not? – A. I don't believe in taking up too much time with that sort of stiff, and if I can get labor and get my money for it, I rather for that.
Q. But the question is, did you talk any politics out there? – A. Not unless somebody attacked me about it.
Q. Did anybody attack you with it? – A. I told you that gentleman did, who asked me to stay until after the day of the election.
Q. Were there any others who talked the merits of the political question with you; argued with about it? – A. Not that I can remember.
Q. Those two Republicans or Democrats told you to stay until after the election? – A. I didn't know whet their politics were.
Q. Didn't they tell you you would have an easy time when it came spring? – A. Some did and some did not; some of them said it would be the same thing all the year.
Q. Some of them said it was better for you to go out? – A. Yes, sir.
Q. You don't know whether they were Republicans or Democrats? – A. I am certain there were two of them were Q. Republicans; they were the same two who sent off my letter.
Q. They were Republicans? – A. Yes, sir.
Q. They were not anxious, then, for you to stay? – A. They were Republicans, and they said I had better go back.
Q. They advised you to come back home? – A. Yes, sir.
Q. Were they very strong Republicans? – A. I don't know, sir.
Q. Were they good looking men? – A. Yes, sir; they looked like intelligent men.
Q. And they advised you to leave Indiana? – A. Yes, sir; they thought it best, as they said we were most on to starvation.
Q. These people who go out there didn't take money to buy land, and so they have to work and earn some before they can make any purchases? – A. Yes, sir.
Q. If a man went to Indiana with three or five hundred dollars in his picket he could do as he pleased, could he not? – A. Five hundred dollars wouldn't go far with there to buy land.
Q. How far would it go in North Carolina? – A. A right smart piece.
Q. It wouldn't buy much in Raleigh would it? – A. Well, sir, I haven't been there since I was a boy.
Q. Well, $500 wouldn't buy much in a city? – A. I think not.
Q. And wouldn't do so in Indianapolis? – A. No, sir; I don't suppose it would.
Q. Suppose you were to go out in the unsettled parts of Indiana as in North Carolina, then it would go pretty far, wouldn't it? – A. I can't keep up with you about that; I have not any experience of it.
Q. Were they good looking men? – A. Yes, sir; they looked like intelligent men.
Q. And they advised you to leave Indiana? – A. Yes, sir; they thought it best, as they said we were most on to starvation.
(By the CHAIRMAN.) Mr. Blair has asked you if you believe it is right for a man to go anywhere in this country that he pleases, and you said you do think so. Do you think it is right to be induced to leave your home and go away where you are not known, and where you cannot get work, by means of falsehoods and misrepresentations? – A. No, sir.
Q. You don't think a man ought to be induced in that way to go where he would be worse off? – A. No, sir; I don't think so.
Q. You think that has been done in this case? – A. Yes, sir; with me and all the rest.
Q. And that is the feeling of the colored people towards this man Perry? – A. The feeling, so far as I presume of it, is great dissatisfaction with him.

You'll be able to get your dose of sand, wind, and water minus the harmful rays. The tent's canvas has UPF 40 to block 97% of UV rays and an A-line design that stays put even with brisk summer winds.
Aussie Makers Jackie and Kellie are well acquainted with the thrills and perils of beach going, with their nation having some of highest UV levels in the world. So they decided to equip you with the best gear.
They didn't stop at the tent. Their oversized beach towel has a velour top, terry bottom, and beautiful tassel trim so you have room to spread out and soak up the sun. Its lightweight design dries itself and you off quickly.
We hope Jackie and Kellie keep putting their creative minds together, letting us enjoy more elegant, practical designs.

This story is an excerpt from my faith journey article that I wrote back in 2006 for our church newsletter. Many people seem to like hearing it, although it's probably only a good reason to believe for me rather than you. This isn't the only reason I switched from being a skeptic to a believer, but it sure softened me up for other events that followed in my life. Call it a huge stepping stone in learning to doubt my doubts.

Doubts You Don't Have to Have
For most of 30 years I only went to church at Christmas & Easter...when forced to by family. I wasn't sure how to describe my faith, but believer is not the word I would have used. Now I think calling people atheists & christian or believer & unbeliever is too black & white. I think most of us live in the gray, messy middle between 100% belief & 100% doubt. Now I define faith as belief in spite of doubt rather than the absence of doubt. What changed it all for me was reading a book1 that addressed a lot of my doubts. Now I know some doubts are just due to not having enough information. Click the doubt, if you want a more detailed discussion.

The Psalms is a great place to spend time when you are distressed or in trouble of any kind. Poor David and his friends, who contributed to the Psalms, experienced all of the negative emotions we are prone to today. They journaled their feelings and then usually ended up praising God before the Psalm is finished. What a great example to us.
There is no shame in having a bad day, experiencing emotional trouble in your heart or feeling stress (Psalm 25:17). We all experience negative thoughts and emotions, which are triggered by daily life. In addition to these current negative emotions, we also have emotional baggage from our past. In former experiences, we left segments of our true self along the road we have traveled.
Current incidents draw from the negative emotions we felt in these former traumatic conflicts. Names, places, colors, smells, topics of conversation or TV dramas, ornamental objects, etc. may all trigger memories from our past, which caused us pain or distress. All of that negative emotion comes to the surface and adds to our current emotions.
Satan will plant a lie in each of these negative incidents. If we take time to explore these former experiences, we can resolve those conflicts and clean up some of our emotional baggage, which we accumulated over the years. This prevents these past events from influencing our future and controlling our current life. We put a stop to Satan's torment.
(Read these three free chapters and watch the videos: http://theophostic.com/page13051343.aspx )
Father God, the devil is out to steal our joy, kill our ministry and destroy our relationships (John 10:10). We no longer need to give him permission or suffer from his torment. Help us to persevere in prayer with Your Spirit in a quiet, undisturbed place and time. Remind us to journal, so we have a way to vent our pent-up emotions. You will reveal to us the issues at the root of our feelings, and You will heal us with Your Word of Truth by Your Spirit.
Thought for the Day:
The Holy Spirit within us knows the exact time and place these trauma's occurred, and He will take us back to that memory, uncover Satan's lie and heal our emotions. This discontinues the current pain, which haunts us from the past.

Car Service
Gaurav posted a topic in Range Rover Forum in UAEWhat is more important and relevant in car service: Time vs Kilometer driven? I just schedule my Range Rover service with Al Tayer and they said I need to get the major service of 120k kms, while the car is only driven 68,000 kms. Their logic is time-based vs km - whichever comes first. They gave me this logic last time too when I sent the car for service and they carried out 108k service when the car was 58,000 kms driven. I somehow felt uncomfortable but went with the flow to not to spoil the service history, which has been regularly maintained by the previous owner. This time it's quite over the top with major service estimate, where they say they have to change rear diff oil and transfer box oil every 5 years or 120k kms. Is it really required to change rear diff and transfer box oil at 68k kms with 5 years of life.....? If you say Kilometer driven is prime then why all car manufacturer has this in their maintenance schedule, let alone UAE but everyone uses the same approach globally. Please explain why......?
5 ways to know for Repair Car / Replace Car
amitaj posted a advice in Car SellingIn today's fast-paced world, owning a car is a necessity rather than a luxury and that goes even more for people living in the UAE and driving every day. It doesn't mean that you can't pamper your car; it just means you simply cannot do without a car these days. Whether your car is Toyota or Mitsubishi, just like other machines, every car do wear down after a certain period of time and a certain thousand kilometers. When this happens, you are faced with an axe to get it repaired or see it get deteriorate. While every one of us tries to get it fixed, there are situations when we have to decide – weather to retire it or repair it. If you are in such turmoil, here are 5 LOGICAL points that will help you take the big decision! When repairs or maintenance costs more than the car's worth. Do some basic calculations and take the decision. Get an estimate of fixing the car from a mechanic and then take your car to a dealer. Ask him to quote the best price if you were to sale it then and there. Since now you have both the cost of repair and current worth of the car, the decision won't be hard to make. Apply the simple "50 percent rule", when your cars repair cost has reached to 50 percent of its worth then it's the time to replace your old box. Safety concerns Keeping your love for your old car aside, do watch it for your own safety. Keep in mind that not only the older and carelessly maintained ones, even the well-maintained cars wear out. I would recommend you to consider all the risks of breakdown while driving. In this advanced technological world, new cars are equipped with a long list of safety features like SRS airbags, ABS+EBD (Anti-breaking system and Electronic brake force distribution), anti-theft alarm and rearview cameras. Obviously your old car would not have these unless it's an Audi R8 or Ford GT, or BMW M4 or Lexus LFA and hence your old car should be replaced. Your car is eating more gas If the car is consuming a lot of gas per kilometer, than what it was consuming a year ago, it has lost its fuel efficiency and it's time to bid it adieu. You might know the fact, the older your car is, the less fuel-efficient it gets. Even if you get it fixed, thanks to the old technology it will get back into its bad shape and keep on asking for more fuel unless you want to save it for Cadillac Ranch or car museum purposes. Also consider the fact that the repair cost of an older car will keep on increasing with time. Follow the laws The government has laid down a few automobile rules that need to be followed while on the road. These laws state the minimum conditions that your car must meet to be on the road. Get a quick check done of your car to see if it follows all the norms. If not, it would be wise to get rid of it and invest in a better car. For the sake of LIFESTYLE Lifestyle changes and so does the society; and believe me change is good and you should be a part of it. Do you have plans of growing your family? Have you expanded your business and facing the loading problem? Dude! You are in need of a new car. Your old car might not be able to bear the all the burden and new responsibilities and hence must be replaced. Repairing or selling off is a critical decision to make. While you might be blindly in love with your automobile, sometimes the machine ceases to respond back with similar care; and when this happens, it can get harsh for your bank balance. Next time you take your old hooptie for a repair, do consider these 5 things.

Jessica Meyer,
With playing that is "fierce and lyrical" and works that are "other-worldly" (The Strad) and "evocative" (The New York Times), Jessica is a versatile composer and violist whose passionate musicianship radiates accessibility, generosity, and emotional clarity. Recent premieres of her works include performances by the GRAMMY-winning vocal ensemble Roomful of Teeth, cellist Amanda Gookin for her Forward Music Project at National Sawdust, soprano Melissa Wimbish for her Carnegie Hall debut, Sybarite 5, PUBLIQuartet, NOVUS NY of Trinity Wall Street, and a work for A Far Cry commissioned by the Isabella Gardner Museum in Boston. Upcoming commissions include works for flutist Allison Loggins-Hull for her "Diametrically Composed" project, the Lorelei Ensemble, Sandbox Percussion with vocal duo Two Cities, and for a project with the Historical Performance Program at The Juilliard School.
As a solo performer, Jessica uses a single simple-loop pedal to create a virtuosic orchestral experience with her viola, voice, and hand percussion. Drawing from wide-ranging influences which include Bach, Brahms, Delta blues, Flamenco, Indian Raga, and Appalachian fiddling, Jessica's music takes audience members on a journey through joy, anxiety, anger, bliss, torment, loneliness and passion. Her solo show has been featured at iconic venues such as BAMcafé and Joe's Pub in New York City, the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, and in Paris at Sunset Sunside. As an educator, she is most passionate about getting young classical musicians off the page to activate their own creativity, improvise, and awaken their own inner composer well before their college years.

What is Mitral Valve Dysplasia?
The backflow of blood caused by a malformed mitral valve is called mitral regurgitation or mitral insufficiency. The amount of regurgitation may be small or large depending on the severity of the abnormality of the mitral valve.
MVD is commonly seen in German Shepherds, Great Danes, Bull Terriers, Cavaliers, Poodles, Boston Terrier, Dachshunds, and Mastiffs. Dogs diagnosed with mitral valve dysplasia should not be bred.
If your dog is having symptoms of mitral valve dysplasia, he should be seen by a veterinarian. If left untreated, mitral valve dysplasia can be fatal.
Mitral valve dysplasia (MVD) in dogs is the congenital malformation of the heart's mitral valve. A normal mitral valve functions as a one-way valve, which flows blood from the left atrium to the left ventricle. Deformities in the mitral valve cause it not to shut tightly, which results in the backflow of blood into the left atrium.
Book First Walk Free!
Symptoms of Mitral Valve Dysplasia in Dogs
Symptoms will depend on the severity of the mitral valve dysplasia. Patients with mild mitral valve dysplasia may not show any clinical signs for months or even years.
- Heart murmur found at a wellness check
- Gagging
- Hacking cough
- Lack of stamina
- Weakness
- Dyspnea
- Congestive heart failure (will cause pulmonary edema, abdominal ascites, retention of fluids in the skin and collapse)
Causes of Mitral Valve Dysplasia in Dogs
Mitral valve dysplasia (MVD) is a congenital cardiac condition that causes one or more abnormalities to the mitral valve. This means that MVD was present at birth. The abnormalities of the mitral valve happened during fetal development. Mitral valve dysplasia is potentially an inherited heart condition.
Diagnosis of Mitral Valve Dysplasia in Dogs
Mitral valve dysplasia is often discovered during a wellness check. The veterinarian will detect a heart murmur while he is listening to the patient's heart. A heart murmur is the sound of turbulence within the heart; a whooshing noise during heartbeats. The murmur is a good indicator that there is a problem with the blood flow within the heart.
If the veterinarian hears a heart murmur he may recommend diagnostic tests, such as an electrocardiogram (EKG), x-rays and an endocardiogram. These tests can help determine the cause of the irregular sound and the severity of the condition. The EKG can detect abnormal heart rhythm. Chest x-rays can visualize the size/shape of the heart and can also reveal the presence of fluids in the lungs. The endocardiogram uses sound waves to evaluate the cardiac contractions and measures the amount of blood being pumped by the heart.
Other diagnostic tests that may be recommended are a complete blood count, urinalysis and a serum chemistry panel. These tests can help determine the overall health condition of the patient.
Treatment of Mitral Valve Dysplasia in Dogs
Asymptomatic (no symptoms) patients diagnosed with mitral valve dysplasia usually do not need medical treatment. They do need to have x-rays every 6-12 months to monitor the size of the dog's heart. Some veterinarians choose to start medical treatment at this stage and will prescribe beta blockers such as carvedilol and/or Bisoprolol.
Patients with MVD will need to be on low salt diets. Overweight dogs will have their diets modified in order to decrease caloric intake. Extreme exertion, high humidity and high heat should be avoided. Supplements, and vitamins, which may be suggested, are Vitamin E, Vitamin C, coenzyme CoQ10, and Omega 3.
Patients with more advanced mitral valve dysplasia may also be prescribed angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors (enalapril and benazepril) to help lower blood pressure. Diuretics may help stimulate the kidneys to remove excess fluids from the body. Digitalis may be prescribed to help slow the heart rate and strengthen the heart's contraction. Vasodilators drugs can help the heart, to have a better blood flow.
The veterinarian may refer you to a veterinarian heart specialist, who may recommend the surgical replacement of the valve. Dogs do not respond well to mechanical valves; blood clots usually occur. Studies show that canine patients do well with porcine valve (pig valves) replacements. The surgery can only be attempted on young dogs that are strong enough to undergo this procedure. The valve replacement is an open heart surgical procedure. The patient usually will need to remain hospitalized for a week.
Recovery of Mitral Valve Dysplasia in Dogs
Patients that respond to the treatment plan will have an improved quality of life. The treatment plan will be a lifetime commitment. Follow-up visits will be needed to monitor the your dog's progress. The veterinarian will also be checking for any side effects caused by the prescribed medications.
Patients that underwent mitral valve replacement will receive post-operative instructions from the heart surgeon. The prognosis of a full recovery of MVD, in canines that undergo surgery is good.
Mitral Valve Dysplasia Questions and Advice from Veterinary Professionals
Has Symptoms
My dog was just diagnosed with mitral valve dysplasia. Moderate mitral regurgitation with minimal left atrial enlargement. Subvalvular aprtic stenosis, Sever. Severe concentric LV hypertrophy. Grade IV heart murmur. He is on Atenonol for life now, what's the life expectancy for dogs like this? He has anxiety and stresses himself out a lot. So we have to work on making him comfortable and not stressing his heart out too much.

Has Symptoms
My Australian Shepherd who is jus about 9 months old was just diagnosed with mitral valve dysplasia after going to his vet for a wellness visit. The vet did an Echocardiogram which discovered the "very mild mitral valve regurgitation". He is set to go in for another Echo in 12 months, but what does this mean for him considering he is so young. How long does he have until this progresses into heart failure? What can I do to prevent an early death? What is his life expectancy? He is in excellent health besides this and very active, eats Acana brand food, and regularly takes heartgard and nexgard.

We are in the process of adopting a golden retriever that was disqualified as a service dog breeder with the following statement. "Mild mitral and tricuspid valve dysplasia- The defect allows a very small amount of leakage backward through the valve. The degree of disease is minimal, however, and is unlikely to progress or cause any difficulties in the future.
We still intend to keep her, is this a situation we should be concerned about? What should we expect/plan for once the adoption is final

Location: This stunning resort is located in beautiful landscape of Bandhavgarh National Park, known for its lush biodiversity and teeming with exotic animals.
History: With regional history that can be traced back to the 1st Century AD, historically-inclined guests will get a thrill from the ancient cave inscriptions and other such historical relics that can still be seen to this day throughout the park.
Service: Excellent service and dedicated butlers.
Outside the wild confines of Bandhavgarh lies the Taj Mahua Kothi Lodge. Spread over forty acres and built on the site of a former tented camp once used by aristocracy and the British colonial elite, Mahua features twelve cottages, called kutiyas, or shelters in Hindi. Each of the cottages features fireplaces, large windows, handmade pottery, locally-sourced textiles, all-natural soaps, creams, and lotions from Jiva Spa, plush beds, air-conditioning, in-room safes, en suite bathrooms, and tasteful, locally-inspired designs. Meals at Mahua Kothi are served rather informally; breakfasts are eaten either on the road, or in Mahua Kothi's vegetable garden; lunch can be had by the pool, during the safari, or under the shade of the nearby trees; and dinners, featuring roasts, thalis, or assortments of small dishes, are enjoyed under the stars and accompanied by performances. Amenities include a full-service spa offering Ayurvedic and western treatments, a swimming pool, a library, and yoga lessons. Mahua Kothi lies a scenic, five-hour drive from Khajuraho's airport.
The lodge's 12 brand new cottage suites, called Kutiyas, featuring air-conditioning, ceiling fans, private pools, and other modern comforts.
These quaint and cozy suites offer twin or double beds, and a safari-chic decor featuring burnt-orange and terracotta colorings that match handmade pottery roof tiles, and local textile furnishings that add an element of rustic charm to these luxurious suites. Guests can observe the wild jungle action from the privacy and comfort of their 600-square-foot verandahs.
Guests can enjoy centuries-old Ayurvedic massage techniques from the comfort of their rooms, with treatments that make use of all-natural ingredients.
The hotel's freeform pool is the ideal place to while away an afternoon, either taking a leisurely dip, or enjoying an exotic cocktail from one of the many sun loungers that line the poolside.
The first meal of the day takes place in the resort's back garden with dining tables set up amongst lush vegetation. A hearty breakfast meal is laid out for guests upon a bullock cart.
Dinner begins with exotic cocktails made from the sap of the Mahua tree, and fine Indian wines and beers. Later on, guests can enjoy a sumptuous dinner under the stars, dining on the resort's beautiful terrace, amidst a live spit-roast, while being entertained by traditional folk dances.
For lunch, guests may choose from a few dining locations, from the poolside, to a picnic under a Mahua tree or watering hole.

First, here is the traditional Pros and Cons method according to its creator, Benjamin Franklin:
"For pros and cons, my way is to divide half a sheet of paper by a line into two columns; writing over the one pro, and over the other con; then during three or four days' consideration, I put down under the different heads short hints of the different motives, that at different times occur to me. for or against the measure. When I have thus got them all together, in one view, I endeavor to estimate their respective weights; and, where I find two (one on each side) that seem equal, I strike them both out. If I find a reason pro equal to some two reasons con, I strike out the three.
He Continues . . .
If I judge some two reasons, con equal to three reasons pro, I strike out the five; and thus proceeding I find at length where the balance lies; and if, after a day or two of farther consideration, nothing new that is of importance occurs on either side, I come to a determination accordingly. Though the weight of reasons cannot be taken with the precision of algebraic quantities, yet, when each is thus considered separately and comparatively, and the whole lies before me, I think I can judge better and am less likely to make a rash step; and in fact I have found great advantage from this kind of equation, in what may be called moral or prudential algebra."
Modern Franklin Pros and Cons
This updated Pros and Cons tool supports decision-making for a group of people. Use it as a proxy for Benjamin Franklin's Pros and Cons method. His approach is better suited for an individual than a group of people. Especially with controversial issues, it is always helpful to consider multiple points of view.
Method for Modern Franklin Pros and Cons
To safely argue a controversial issue, carefully (and with advanced forethought about the options for either a homogeneous, heterogeneous, or hybrid blend of teams) separate your participants into three teams: Affirmative, Dismissive, and Observer. Give the affirmative and dismissive teams each fifteen minutes to develop their arguments, respectively supporting or refuting the issue. The observer team drafts criteria by which it may evaluate and assess the issue. Have the teams present their arguments to the observer team formally—as if it were a debate or court of law. Next . . .
- Affirmative and dismissive teams prepare for two-minute rebuttals to defend their positions.
- Observer team then describes the criteria they recommend using to help decide the issue, based on arguments presented by both affirmative and dismissive teams.
- Teams take another five minutes to revise their arguments based on observer criteria and the discussion sequence described above repeats.
- After round two, teams reform as one to discuss the issues. If the discussion reaches an impasse, switch members among different teams, carefully placing louder voices on the teams opposite of their apparent voice, so they are forced to represent the "other" side.
Do not intentionally polarize participants. Ensure that your teams comprise participants who hold a variety of views. As session leader (ie, both facilitator and methodologist), select the teams—do not allow the participants to choose. In most debates, the side one takes is not known until minutes before the debate, so that all debaters prepare to argue both sides of an issue.
Benefits for Modern Franklin Pros and Cons
The benefits realized include:
- Amplifies, expands, and stretches the issues, criteria, and perspectives.
- Allows the group to build am integrative view of all sides of the issue.
- Provides more robust and coherent arguments, issues, and criteria.

Between 24 and 28 September, the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) held its second General Assembly at the German Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure in Berlin. The meeting successfully achieved its aims, which were to present the status of the programme, as well as ideas for the future of C3S, and to provide a networking opportunity for the European climate community.
Almost 250 participants from all over Europe attended the stimulating General Assembly. It was aimed primarily at those providing climate data to C3S, but many users and potential users of the data were also present. The meeting served as a vital checkpoint in the development of the programme, allowing the community to reflect on the past and identify details that could be refined to push the service forward and improve its quality in the future.
2018 has been a particularly exciting year for C3S; after three years of bringing together data and scientific and technical know-how from many different providers, this is the year that C3S transitioned into an operational service. The service now gives free access to data and tools, as well as providing information about the state of the climate in Europe and worldwide. C3S deputy head Dick Dee kicked off the conference with a session on the highlights and lessons learned since C3S was launched in 2015.
"Over the past three years, C3S has grown from a proof of concept into an operational service which successfully provides climate information to thousands of users", explains Dee. "This year C3S launched the Climate Data Store (CDS) — an online platform where users can explore freely available climate data and tools".
Several General Assembly sessions focused on the CDS, including its vision and aims, the data content and tools, how service quality is ensured, and how it could be improved in the future. An inspiring evening event celebrated C3S becoming operational, giving participants the chance to share their experiences and ideas over food and drink, and providing C3S with the opportunity to spread motivation through speeches and awards.
Now that the CDS is up and running, a priority of the service is the application of its data to key climate-sensitive sectors, for example water, energy and health. A significant portion of the General Assembly was dedicated to our Sectoral Information System, including a session on how C3S works with sector representatives to provide useful information that helps society and businesses adapt to the impacts of climate change.
A variety of other constructive sessions dedicated to more specific technical topics — including user support, climate-related Horizon 2020 projects, and the evaluation and quality control of C3S data — provoked thought and stimulated discussion between conference participants. The importance of outreach and communication were also highlighted during the General Assembly.
To allow participants to showcase their work with C3S, over the course of the conference several thematic fairs took place covering a wide range of themes, including the Climate Data Store, Climate Projections and the Sectoral Information System. The thematic fairs gave people a chance to meet, discuss and find out more about each other's work. The mix of plenary talks and dedicated thematic fairs maximised interactions between those involved in C3S and gave all participants a comprehensive view of the progress achieved so far.
The General Assembly finished by looking forward to the years ahead, with a round table discussion about how C3S can better support its institutional users in the future. Moderated by Jean-Noël Thépaut, Head of C3S, the discussion panel included representatives from a variety of European Commission Directorates-General, as well as other international institutions. All panel members acknowledged the wide range of activities and the huge ambitions of C3S, and the discussion underscored how the launch of the CDS constitutes a great leap towards reaching these ambitions.
Freja Vamborg, C3S senior scientist and coordinator of the General Assembly explains: "Overall, the meeting successfully enabled the sharing of knowledge and experience of the current C3S data providers and users. It gathered and distributed user requirements and feedback on the service so far, and it facilitated networking and brainstorming sessions on how to move the various aspects of the service forward".
Now that the CDS infrastructure is in place, C3S plans to include even more data in the data store, and to spend the next year focusing on developing compelling applications, improving the quality of service, and increasing user uptake.
Juan Garcés de Marcilla, Director of Copernicus Services at ECMWF, closed the General Assembly by concluding, "Over the next few months C3S will focus on consolidating and enhancing its operational service, but it will also begin looking beyond 2020 by considering possible service evolutions in order to better serve our users and stakeholders".
