Geoff's a very successful radio producer and podcast maker. Not only that, he helps his wife to run a family festival, a film festival and a forest festival among other things. He get to work with an befriend an amazing host of talented and creative folk and I can be proud that he's part of my family. Hopefully the mention of this will become clear later.
I returned from Preston with several boxes of things I'd like to keep. Some are sentimental, some practical and some I have no idea why I couldn't find it in me to just chuck during the first purge. My own house is already full of life and stuff and there's not much room for more, so I took a trip into the attic to have a bit of a clear out myself.
While I was up there, I came across a couple of boxes of books and magazines Geoff and I produced between 1998 and 2004. There are some wonderful collections in there, ranging from the up-and-coming to the well established poet. I believe were were the first to publish work by one Ben Myers, which gives me a buzz - it may have only been a small thing, but I do believe that collecting small things together is the way to make bigger things.
The fact that I still have boxes full of the old copies says something about my vision at the time. I guess, as is often the case with me, it was slightly blurred with hope and enthusiasm and seen through a lens of OCD. We did a good job and the magazine grew in terms of reputation bigger than we could have imagined. Like many others before, however, we were to be reminded that poetry doesn't sell and being involved in it has to be a labour of love before it is anything else.
By 2003, things were changing for us. As I recall, Geoff was cutting his teeth in journalism and radio production. He had also become a father and had many fish to fry. His pockets were getting smaller and the balance of funding tipped even more heavily to my side until the amount of time and money involved to keep it going stretched my enthusiasm beyond breaking point.
Looking back, there are many ifs and buts. If we'd been more savvy, perhaps we might still be going today.
Only we're not.
Remembered America was our last hurrah. Dick McBride had done the rounds. He'd worked in City Lights and been at the hub of the Beat poetry movement from its birth. Like the Rue Bella itself, he wasn't one of the biggest fish, but he did have teeth and heart.
As much as it was our final effort, it was also destined to be his. I think he had a desperate urge to publish one more grand work and we were the people who were able to grant him that.
When initially released Remembered America, we had a quote to use:
'I'm glad to see you're still going strong, there's hardly any of us left!...Ciao baby.' Lawrence Ferlinghetti
We can't use that anymore as Dick sadly died a few years ago.
Back to the point. I was up in my attic with these books and realised (I'm slow at many things) that I could put this out as an ebook. Unlike the paperback, which we went to the trouble of having designed for once and which has very high quality production values, it would cost nothing to do bar a day's typing and a bit of work around the edges.
And so I can introduce you to it once more. Remembered America by Dick McBride in it's Kindle reincarnation.
Should you feel like a shot of poetry to brighten your days, it's free today (Saturday, 18th July) at Amazon and is already the #1 freebie in love poetry, American poetry and a few other categories. Mr McBride would have liked that.
Here's what it says in the blurb in case you need any more persuasion:
As grass grows
So ceases sorrow
Madness welcomes sanity
Anger burns out
Hearts open again
Like roses rising in
The ashes of memory
So ceases sorrow
As the rubber of the sun
Erases the blackboard fog
Of desperate blindness
So ceases sorrow
Iron hands
Ties knots of
Bound joy
Released as
The grass grows again
After the noise
Of hungry blades
Swift clocks brightening
Smiles of daisies in
Recently mown lawns
Softening the claws
In soft paws
Of sleep
Wounds heal
So ceases the
Sorrow of muddy rain
Erupting like glue
On palm-tree sands
And yet the grass grows again
Still the sun shines
As tall green blades
Surgically remove doors
Of halls and
Cupboards hiding old taboos
As the grass grows
So ceases sorrow
And the grass grows again
About the poet
Dick McBride was born in 1928 in Washington, Indiana. After years of travelling around Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Kentucky, Illinois and Nebraska working in radio, Dick hit San Francisco and City Lights, where he worked for sixteen years and lived at the centre of the Beat movement. He moved to England in 1969 and more ears in the book trade, selling American independents to Europe. Then on to Australia in the eighties, and back to England once again.
Dick died in 2012 and Remembered America (US) was to be his final collection.
"I have long admired his energy and his stubbornly hopeful vision against all the odds…I am especially taken with 'Grass', its haunting refrain running through what is both an elegy and a rhapsody. In general, I am gladden by writing that can be wild like Ginsberg and is never far from ecstasy." Phillip Callow
The Rue Bella magazine was considered to be at the cutting edge of poetry during its production years between 1998 and 1993. Not only did it have some of the biggest names around (Benjamin Myers, Benjamin Zephaniah, Brian Patten, Ruth Padel, Michael Horovitz, John Kinsella, Alan Brownjohn, Peter Knaggs, Ed Mycue, Jan Oskar Hansen and Virgil Suarez, all included here) but offered a stage for the most exciting up-and-coming talent of the period.

Access Bank Plc has listed its N15bn green bond on the Nigerian Stock Exchange and the FMDQ OTC Securities Exchange.
The five-year, 15.5 per cent fixed rate senior unsecured green bonds, which would mature on March 18, 2024, was described as the first-ever climate bonds standard certified corporate green bond to be issued in Africa.

The Associate Executive Director, Capital Markets, FMDQ, Ms Tumi Sekoni, congratulated the issuer for the successful issue of the green bond in the Nigerian debt capital market.
She said the bond would help to address climate and environmental challenges in a sustainable manner to deliver prosperity for Nigerians and further deepen the domestic debt capital market by increasing the range of investible debt securities in the markets, invariably contributing to Nigeria's development.

The return of rain following the end of El Niño should be good news for farmers in Southern Africa. But a pest from the Americas is ruining everything. Countries recovering from the two-year long drought that caused widespread food insecurity now face a rapidly spreading crop killer. The invasive fall armyworm is destroying maize across the region and spreading quickly from country to country serving a "blow to prospects of recovery" for the region, says the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).

Along with five other tourist towns in the Community of Madrid, Buitrago del Lozoya is part of the Villas de Madrid tourism promotion programme. Discover them and enjoy immediate promotions and discounts at participating tourist establishments. What are you waiting for to visit the Villas de Madrid?
Buitrago del Lozoya takes you on a journey back to the Middle Ages, immersed in the peaceful beauty of the Lozoya Valley, a river that flows at the foot of its walled enclosure.
This town has it all: gastronomy, nature and history, that can be explored along the 800 metres of walls that surround its beautiful historic quarter. And there's another surprise: the Picasso Museum-Eugenio Arias Collection, with more than 60 works that the brilliant artist bequeathed to his hairdresser.
In the valley of the Lozoya River, Buitrago stands on a promontory, surrounded by the Lozoya River, that gives it part of its name. It is a natural barrier for a town located right under the Somosierra mountain port, about 75 km north of the city of Madrid.
It is well known for its medieval walls, both Muslim and Castilian and Christian, which surround its historic centre, which are surrounded by the river Lozoya. The Castle or Alcázar, together with the Church of Santa María del Castillo, the Clock Tower and its wall give a medieval air to this municipality, which boasts such an active cultural agenda that has proposals for all seasons.
Buitrago del Lozoya is one of the most picturesque municipalities in the Community of Madrid. Because of its well-preserved walled enclosure, surrounded by the river from which it takes its name, it was chosen to represent the region in a competition organised by the Repsol Guide, in which 17 tourist municipalities competed (one for each autonomous community) to win the title of Best Place 2015.
This town was declared a Historic-Artistic Site and an Asset of Cultural Interest in 1993, thanks to its spectacular walled enclosure of Arab origin, the best preserved in the Community of Madrid.
The Picasso Museum is another must-see. The collection of more than 60 works by Picasso housed in the Museum was donated by Eugenio Arias to the Villa de Buitrago, and later enlarged by the Community of Madrid. You can enjoy there drawings, lithographs and ceramics made between 1950 and 1965, given by the brilliant artist from Malaga to his barber and friend.
The beauty of its landscape goes hand in hand with the quality of its natural products. T-bone steaks and beans with black pudding are delicacies prepared over a slow fire.

Welcome to Dear Melissa, where we answer your questions about transitioning into or or maintaining a healthy Whole9 life, helping you figure out how to make this lifestyle work in the real world. Today, we're talking to a woman who isn't sure how to set healthy boundaries when sharing the Good Food word with friends, family, and co-workers.
Dear Melissa,
I've been living a Paleo lifestyle for almost two and a half years. My experience has been that if you have some success, it's easy to fall into a spokesperson role. While this can be exhilarating at first, it soon becomes tiresome (for everyone involved!) and eventually begins to take a toll.
How do you deal with the loved ones, friends, or even just acquaintances who approach you fired up for the Magic New Diet? Specifically, what do you do when they inevitably give up or move on? Or worse, when they have some success—followed by justification for a return to old ways?
I find it hard not to be offended, or saddened, or annoyed. I also don't want to be anyone's food police, so I never say anything and try to tame my judgments. But it sure makes it hard to be excited for the next person who wants to shake me down for advice, recipes, tips, etc. and then move on without so much as a thank you, or acknowledgement of my low return on investment. I just don't even know how to be hopeful and authentic anymore. –A.C., Portland, OR
Dear A.C.,
Trust me when I say I feel your pain. The last flight I took, I spent the last hour talking to a nice college kid local to Salt Lake City. At his request (and because I had time on my hands), I told him everything he needed to know about Paleo, the Whole30, and how it might help the chronic inflammation in his knees—maybe even get him playing basketball pain-free again. I gave him my card and told him to email me. I offered to give him a copy of our book. I offered to meet with him again if he wanted more information. He was super excited about the idea, and seemed really eager to get started. The result? Nothing. Nada. Zero follow-up. Sigh.
When I worked a corporate job, I managed more than 20 people in three different offices. One of the best pieces of advice I ever received from my boss was this: don't spend your precious time and energy taking a D worker and moving him up to a B-. Your time and energy are better spent taking a motivated, driven, eager B+ and turning her into an A. You have a limited amount of attention to give to people in any given day. Spend that money where you'll get the highest return on investment.
See where I'm going with this?
Here's the conundrum—you have information that can change people's lives, and (I believe) an obligation to share that with those who ask you for help. However, you cannot give most of your attention to someone who is, in all probability, not going to do anything with the information—because that leaves you broke, unable to give to those who are motivated, driven, and eager. The trick is to figure out who's who, and focus on helping those who are the most likely to actually make some changes. Of course, that doesn't mean you totally ignore those you vote Most Likely to Return to Nachos and Beer. It just means you adjust your strategy accordingly.
The Initial Interaction
Casual acquaintances aren't people you know well, or in whom you have a vested interest, so they're hard to judge as "motivated" or "ready." For these people, have an intro talk prepared. You're going to lead them to the information, but let them take the drink if and when they are ready. You invite them to follow up with you only after they've done some homework and are committed to trying something new. Your script looks like this:
"I started on Paleo with the Whole30—it's this 30 day program designed to help you figure out whether the foods you're eating are making you less healthy. The program was life-changing for me—I lost weight, have tons of energy, never went hungry, and never counted a single calorie. In a nutshell, you just eat meat, seafood, eggs, vegetables, fruits, and healthy fats for 30 days. There's a great book all about the plan; it's called It Starts With Food. Or you can visit their website—here, I'll write it down for you—and see what the program entails for yourself. Give it a read, and if you decide it's something you want to try, give me a call when you're ready to start."
If they ask follow-up questions about recipes, meal planning, etc., all you have to say is, "The book and website explain it all in way more detail than I could right now. Just check it out for yourself!" You've given them the information, and told them you're open to helping them should they decide to pull the trigger. Your job here is done. If you never hear about it from them again, you've only spent about 60 seconds educating them. If they are ambitious enough to read what you told them to read, chances are they'll get back in touch, at which point you can evaluate where to go from there.
Friends, family, and co-workers are easier to judge whether they're the type to give it a go or dismiss the info. The hard part is, you also have a more vested interest in how well they fare—the closer they are to you, the more you care. For those you believe are asking you for help, but probably won't actually follow through, your approach is the same as with a casual acquaintance. Give them a starting point, and have them follow up if they're still interested. For those you think might actually start making some changes, you need a more detailed approach. Your opening statements can be the same as above, but here you'll be spending a bit more time getting the person up and running. Your script might add:
"It might look intimidating at first, but I've got a ton of resources to help you. There's a quick-start guide, shopping list, meal planning template, and pantry-stocking guide on the Whole9 site, and I've got some websites with really delicious and easy recipes to get you started. There are even a few Whole30 30-day meal plans online, if you really want someone to tell you what to do. If you want to give it a try, let me know and I'll spend a half-hour talking you through what you need to get started. In the meantime, let me email you my list of resources so you can do some research on your own."
Have an email template all ready to go, detailing your top resources—the free Guides on our website, your favorite Paleo blogs and recipe sites, and a link to our Whole30 Timeline post and Whole30 forum. This way, you're not spending time crafting these resources from scratch every time someone asks.
Again, your work here is done. You've given them more time and some personalized attention, maybe even answered a few additional follow-up questions, but you haven't invested seriously just yet. Let them do the research and see if they come back eager for more.
The Follow-Up
Now, if any of these groups follow up after they've done their "homework," you need to decide your next move. It may appear as if they're motivated; they're asking you a ton of follow-up questions, challenging some of your responses, and taking good notes. In the Stages of Change model, this is called "contemplation," where someone is willing to consider the risks and rewards related to a change. However, someone might stay in "contemplation" for months or even years. In fact, they may never actually move into "preparation" or "action." Which is to say, just because people seem really excited and do all the reading and ask you a bunch of questions doesn't mean they're actually ready to do anything.
So how do you keep from spending hours and hours with someone still in contemplation? Force them to move to the preparation stage before you go down that road with them. Give them more homework, and ask them to truly prepare to make these changes. Your script might say this:
"I'm excited to hear you're interested in the Whole30! Before we jump in, though, you need to know that getting started with the program isn't always easy. There are some things you should do to prepare for the 30 days—clean out your pantry, plan your first few meals, and hit the grocery store to stock your pantry and fridge. It's also helpful to (insert your best tips here). There are some great guides on the Whole9 site to help you do this. Why don't you pick a date to clean out your pantry and plan a few meals on your own, and then call me. I'd be happy to go shopping with you, and lend you some of my favorite cookbooks too. I'm sure together, we can easily get you through the first week."
See what you did there? You're asking them to meet you halfway—you do a little, then I'll give you a little more. I don't meant this to sound like you're testing them–you're just gathering more information to determine whether or not they'll be a good "investment."
An aside: Maybe you're thinking, this sounds pretty harsh, Melissa. Take it from someone who helps people for a living—it's just the reality of the situation for anyone who is called on to give. You only have so much of YOU to go around, and if you spend it on someone who has no intention of actually making any changes, that leaves nothing for the person who would really benefit from your time. Not to mention that giving too much too often leaves you less healthy, less willing, and perhaps too jaded to be able to do this "work" you're doing long-term. Protect your time, energy, and health today, so you can give more to more people for a longer period of time.
It's Not Personal
Finally, you have to understand that you can't do it for them. Oh, you know that already? You may logically believe that, but as soon as someone who really needs the Paleo diet starts asking questions, you revert right back to "If I give you enough good information and help and support, I know I can make a difference this time!" You may spend hours with someone who is truly excited about the program, and truly ready to try… and then they bail halfway and don't look back. In that case, you simply have to let it go. You did the best you could. It was time well-spent—you know this, because they actually tried. And the lessons you taught them aren't lost—they're just in hibernation for now. So shake it off and don't take it personally. Everyone needs to come to this in their own time, and it's not your fault (or your responsibility) if now is not their time.
And not to get all hippie-dippy-kumbaya, but you never know who your actions will affect, or how they will ripple into the universe. Worst case scenario, you know you've got some good karma coming back to you.

Does your work fill you with a sense of meaning and purpose? Do you love what you do so much, you actually find it hard to switch off? Do you ever worry -- just a little -- that the positive difference you're making through your work is starting to consume you?
If you're nodding your head, you're in good company.
For example, I'll never forget the year I turned up for parent-teacher interviews at my son's school only to find his poor teacher so ill she could barely speak. We tried to send her home, but she insisted she couldn't let the parents down. And while we appreciated her commitment, given teacher wellbeing is thought to have one of the biggest impacts on our children's likelihood of flourishing, we would have rather she went home and rested up.
Likewise a friend recently asked me: "Outside of your work and your family, what else are you making time for right now?" Well...
The problem I explained was that my work, my hobbies and my friends all tended to revolve around the world of positive psychology at this moment. And while I love this about my life right now, I did take the point she was making. When I need to stop and switch off, can I? Perhaps like my son's teacher a little more time away from my work might benefit everybody.
But let's be honest, finding this balance can be really hard when you love what you're doing and feel that it's making a difference for others. So can too much meaning really be a bad thing?
Let me be clear studies have found that finding meaning in your work brings many benefits. Researchers suggest it improves our wellbeing, leaves us feeling more satisfied with our lives and lowers our levels of hostility, stress and depression. It also appears to increase our level of job satisfaction, career commitment and organizational commitment which is why many workplaces are trying to find ways to make work more meaningful for us.
But Professor Robert Vallerand also suggests that when it comes to finding meaning and purpose in our work, we can have too much of a good thing.
Take a moment and think about these questions:
- If you were to divide yourself up like a pie, how big would your work slice be?
- Are you able to stop working when you want or do you feel driven to do just one more thing?
- Do you have enough energy to keep up with the demands of your work?
You see Vallerand has found that for some of us work becomes an obsessive passion. It defines who we are and why we matter and as a result we have an uncontrollable urge to engage in it and feel compelled to undertake it. We start telling ourselves that we "must", "need" and "have to" to get things done. We find it hard to stop thinking about our work. And we get frustrated when we're prevented from working and persist even when it's risky or we know we should stop.
As a result his studies suggest we generally wind up feeling torn between our passion and the rest of our life leading to higher levels of negative affect over time and putting us at risk of burning ourselves out.
The alternative, Vallerand has found, is to cultivate a sense of harmonious passion for our work. Instead of defining ourselves by our work, we need to balance it with other equally important parts of our life and feel that we have a sense of control over what our work requires of us. This enables us to experience more intrinsic joy because we realize that we "want to", "get to" and "can't wait to" get things done. It helps us to disengage and switch off so we can enjoy other activities in our life and enables us to recognize when pursing an idea becomes too risky.
When work feels harmonious with the rest of our life Vallerand's studies suggest we experience higher level of physical health, psychological wellbeing, self-esteem, positive emotions, creativity, concentration and work satisfaction.
So what can you do to maintain a sense of harmonious passion when it comes to your work?
Scott Kauffman from the Imagination Institute suggests trying these four steps:
- Schedule real breaks - Force yourself to get away from your work by scheduling other activities during the course of the day like lunch with a friend, a break to hit the gym or time after work or on weekends for family, friends, and activities you enjoy.
To hear Vallerand speaking about his research be sure to check out his Mind & It's Potential talk here.
What could you try today to make your passion for work more harmonious?

I had porcelain veneers done by a cosmetic dentist. I did like them but one of them had some kind of defect. I tried to live with it but finally admitted to my dentist it was bugging me and ruining the whole smile in my mind. He was very nice about it and said, "We can't have that now, can we?" He told me to come on in and he'd fix it. He did something with a tool to buff it off. I was happy at first, but now it looks dull like the glaze is gone. Am I being too picky?
Dear Brianne,
You are NOT being too picky. And, even if you were, you paid to have a beautiful smile you love. If you don't have that, then you're not getting your money's worth. I know you called your dentist a cosmetic dentist, but not everyone who bears the name also owns the skills. I'm starting to think your dentist is one that lacks the real skill he needs to do the job well.
First, he should never have been satisfied with a defective porcelain veneer. I don't know why he thought that was a good idea. At least he was honest about it though. I also appreciate the fact that he tried to fix it for you. That shows integrity.
Unfortunately, what he is lacking is knowledge of what would actually repair that type of problem.
Polishing a Porcelain Veneer
You'll want to fix this. If left as it is, it will begin to pick up stains rather quickly. Stains that teeth whitening can't fix because it's not natural tooth structure. The dull look means the glaze was taken off during his buffing. I don't know what he used. What I'll do is tell you how it should be fixed and you can show your dentist.
I'd like to suggest he use Brasseler's Dialite porcelain polishing system. Using diamond polishing instruments and polishing paste it should help. He'll need to finish the job with an ultra-fine diamond polishing paste.
If he does this you should have a beautiful porcelain veneer again in no time.
This blog is brought to you by Dr. Theodore Hadgis.

Illinois Farm Bureau working to resolve issues highlighted by pandemic
Disruptions from the COVID-19 pandemic and goals to move forward were highlighted in Illinois Farm Bureau President Richard Guebert's annual address.
During the virtual IFB Annual Meeting Saturday Guebert said they will prioritize advocating for farmers' roles in the food supply chain in 2021.
"The dramatic shock to the food supply this past spring has raised questions about the resiliency of the US food system. Industry concentration is under a microscope."
Guebert says this has created questions of uncertainty for farmers as well.
"How do farmers increase their share of the food dollar? How will the food trends of recent years shape the food system of the future and the farmers role in it? These are questions farm bureau intends to explore."
He says IFB will also continue to support farmers through the pandemic and beyond by providing tools and trainings on how to cope with pandemic disruptions and the depressed farm economy.

Ted Cruz (R-TX) said he expected to support President Donald Trump's reelection campaign in 2020 during a Tuesday interview with SiriusXM hosts Rebecca Mansour and Joel Pollak on Breitbart News Tonight. Mansour asked Cruz, "Would you be supportive of President Trump if he ran for reelection in 2020?" Cruz replied, "I certainly assume so. I was supportive of and campaigned for President Trump in 2016, and I am very encouraged with the substantive policy victories we are getting, whether it is an historic tax cut bill, whether it is regulatory reform that's unleashing jobs, whether it is repealing the Obamacare individual mandate — which I led the fight to do in the United States Senate — whether it is nominating and confirming strong constitutionalists to the courts. On all of those fights I've been working to lead the battle. I'm content to continue working to lead that battle and defend our freedoms and defend the Constitution." Cruz invited American support for his Senatorial election campaign. He said, "Let me encourage everyone again, the hard left is raising tons of money. They're coming after us, and if you want to defend our freedom, if you want to defend the Constitution, if you want to build a wall, then we need your help. Come to our website, tedcruz.org.

Lincoln: I told you it gets awkward.
Heavy Meddle/Making the Case - S1-E2
Question: In "Making the Case", why were Luan and Lily angry with Lincoln about the video? He didn't record any embarrassing footage of them.
Answer: Luan is mad at him because he broke the unspoken rule of posting a video without the person's consent. Lily is a baby and is probably impersonating the older sisters she looks up to. They are mad so she is mad.

October 19, 2021
LA CROSSE, WI – Today, former State Senator Patty Schachtner announced her endorsement of Brad Pfaff for Wisconsin's 3rd Congressional District.
"Brad Pfaff has proven he will stand up and fight for the people of Wisconsin and we need his leadership in Congress," said Schachtner. "I voted to confirm Brad as Wisconsin's Agriculture Secretary and now I'm glad to endorse his candidacy for Congress. I look forward to working with him to defend this district and support western Wisconsin families."
"The stakes couldn't be higher. Our Democracy, our clean water and our right to choose are all under threat. In the State Senate, Brad has voted to ensure we have free and fair elections and he's fought to protect clean water. Brad has voted to stop dangerous anti women legislation that would hurt our families and our communities. Brad will stand up for us in Congress and I stand with Brad."
"I thank Patty for her support and for her continued service to the people of Wisconsin. Patty's leadership in the State Senate and in St. Croix County sets an example we should all strive for," said Pfaff. "Patty and I were both raised on farms here in western Wisconsin. Like Patty, I carry those farm values with me to work every day – values like honesty, community and fairness."
"Unfortunately, too many in Washington have forgotten who they work for. I'm running for congress to solve the problems families actually face. These times demand action, they demand cooperation and they demand change. It's time we all pulled together to build a brighter tomorrow. Let's get to work"
Brad was raised on a dairy farm in northern La Crosse County and has dedicated his career to serving Wisconsin communities and family farmers. Appointed as Wisconsin's Secretary of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection in 2019 and elected to the Wisconsin State Senate in 2020, Brad has worked to support small businesses, ensure our kids can get an excellent education, provide tax relief for middle class families and defend a free and fair democracy. Brad also understands the challenges faced by Wisconsin's family farmers. Brad has been a leader in the development of agriculture and economic policy working with former U.S. Senator Herb Kohl and U.S. Representative Ron Kind.

Knowing how to trim a dog's nails is essential for every dog owner. Visiting a vet just to get the nails cut can be expensive. Getting a dog nail grinder is a good idea as they're relatively easy to use and does a good job as long as you know what you're doing and follow some basic steps. This post will help you learn how to use a dog nail grinder and as a bonus provide some benefits that grinders have over your standard nail clippers.
What Are The Benefits Of a Dog Nail Grinder Over a Clipper?
Nail grinders are safer than a traditional clipper and are also fairly easy to use. With nail clippers, you have a high risk of accidentally cutting the sensitive areas that can cause bleeding. Nail grinders, however, are designed to minimize the risk by allowing you to slowly trim the nails instead o cutting too deeply by mistake.
How To Use A Dog Nail Grinder?
So here's a 2-minute guide for learning to use nail grinders and grooming your dog's nails at home.
Get Your Dog Used To The Product
Dogs are curious by nature. Every time you bring something new, your dog will want to know what it is, lick it, sniff it and start chewing on it.
Before you start trimming, make sure to introduce the product first. Let your dog sniff it. Touch the paws and nails with the grinder without actually turning it on. Once your dog calms down, approach with positive reinforcement methods. Give your pooch a treat when it stays calm every time you touch the nails with the grinder.
- Determine how much needs to be trimmed.
- Once your dog sits in a relaxed position, securely hold the paw. Turn on the grinder and gently start trimming from the bottom of the nail tip and work your way up to the top of the nail. Once you've reached the top of the tip, start grinding again toward the bottom of the tip all the way to where you started.
- Do the process several times till you've safely removed the sharp nail tip. A general rule of thumb is to trim the nail till the part that curls downward is leveled out with the paw.
- If the nail is rough, gently use the grinder on the tip in a circular motion a few times to make it smooth.
Important Safety Tip: Always be prepared to stop the process in case your dog starts moving around and always have a bandage with you just in case you accidentally trim the sensitive portion. If the bleeding doesn't stop you can always ask a vet for help.
- Use this method one nail at a time. Repeat the steps on each nail
The Best Nail Grinder For Your Pooch

while patiently waiting for a good weather window, we also take the time to do some exploring of saint martin. the sun is brutal, I try to avoid it as much as I can. haha.

HOOPS Exchange 2017 Service Pack 2 released
HOOPS Exchange 2017 Service Pack 2 has been released by our partner Tech Soft 3D and is available from Siemens PLM Software.
HOOPS Exchange now provides beta support for access to a CAD model's feature tree, which captures the steps used to design a part. Feature trees – including hole and pattern descriptions – can now be accessed from the data of NX™ software, CATIA® V5 software and Creo® software.
NX CAD model with feature tree now accessible through HOOPS Exchange
Tech Soft 3D has also continued to enhance the tight technical integration of HOOPS Exchange and Parasolid. As a result, HOOPS Exchange can now read facet data from Parasolid files. It can also write facet data into Parasolid from STL, IFC, VRML, U3D and CGR files. These operations are important steps for supporting Parasolid Convergent Modeling™ technology which enables editing of CAD data that contains both facets and B-rep. This capability provides massive productivity gains for use cases that involve facetted data like "scan, edit, print" by eliminating the conversion of facets into B-reps.
HOOPS Exchange and Parasolid customers already benefit from the tight integration of these two components in many other ways:
- Models of any supported format are loaded into Parasolid through a single API.
- Geometry is imported without translation from CAD applications based on Parasolid, such as Siemens' NX and Solid Edge® software, SolidWorks® software and others.
- For applications not based on Parasolid, the integration maps the CAD data to a valid Parasolid model, automatically invoking healing and repair algorithms when needed based on Parasolid and Bodyshop technology for a higher success rate.
- Model definition is imported, preserved and associatively accessible to the Parasolid geometry, including PMI (both visual and semantic), GD&T, product structure and tessellation (facets).
For more details about these and many other enhancements in HOOPS Exchange Service Pack 2, see the full announcement from Tech Soft 3D.

A GSU student, known for making waves across social media with daily inspirational posts, released her third book.
Jada Starks, a senior studying psychology and sociology from Farmerville, uses her social media platforms to inspire Grambling students and people across the country.
After months of preparation and many long nights writing, Starks released her third devotional book titled "Mirror, Mirror."
Starks said that this book is her favorite published work, because it was different from her previous books.
"This is such a big moment for me because I worked so hard for this," she said. "I've gone through a lot of trauma in my life. I've been judged and criticized. Seeing people purchase my book makes me feel like all of the hard work paid off. Although I am proud of myself, this is just the beginning."
Starks said this book is very different from her previous books because she has be- come a better writer and she was more transparent with her experiences.
"It's a lot more personal," she said. "I'm opening up more from a few personal experiences rather than just providing a daily devotional so that my readers can relate. I included a lot of illustrations and metaphors as well. God really ministered to me as I was writing each devotion."
Starks said she hopes to inspire others to do more self reflection and healing.
"I want to inspire people to look beneath the surface. I was judged, criticized, before I be- came the person I am today. I was going through something no one understood.
"My book is about seeing the real you in order to become the real you by taking a look deep within yourself," Starks said.
Starks said that "Mirror, Mirror" is a special book to her because during the process of writing she healed herself from the past.
"This book is so special to me because through the process of writing this, I allowed God to fully knit my open wounds. I stepped more into my calling and I took a look deeper into my life," Starks said.
Stark's book is available for purchase on all platforms. She will also host a book signing soon. For more information about the book signing email her at jinspiresmotivations@ gmail.com.
All of Starks books will be available for purchase on her website Thejinspires.com on Sept. 27.
"I plan to connect with my audience one-on-one and answer questions about my book. I will be hosting a book signing and inviting everyone to come. I appreciate all of the support I've received so far and I know more is in store," Starks said.

Assaults and violent clashes…dozens of injuries and arrests
On Monday evening, the occupation forces attacked the funeral of the Jerusalemite martyr Walid al-Sharif and suppressed hundreds of mourners with tear gas, sound bombs and rubber bullets, in addition to beating them with batons and spraying them with wastewater.
Dozens of injuries and arrests were recorded during the repression of the funeral. The repression began from the first moments of the starting of the funeral in Al-Tur, then Herods Gate and Salah El-Din Street, all the way to the cemetery during his burial.
The Wadi Hilweh Information Center - Jerusalem stated that the occupation forces besieged Al-Maqased Hospital before handing over the body of the martyr, then the forces were deployed in Al-Tur and at its entrances and junctions and closed some of them. As the martyr's body left the hospital in an ambulance, the forces followed the ambulance and completely surrounded it, and after it passed through the main intersection, it prevented the motorcade from continuing to follow the ambulance.
The center added that the forces stopped a vehicle and attacked passengers with batons, and suddenly fired live bullets directly at it, then closed the Al-Tur junction and prevented the pedestrians and cars from continuing to participate in the funeral.
Rubber bullets were also fired at the ambulance transporting the martyr, which shattered the rear window, in addition to causing damage to its interior.
In Al-Aqsa, the young men carried the martyr and marched and chanted for him, and after praying for him, the funeral procession began and marched in the squares of Al-Aqsa, and upon reaching Herods Gate, the forces suppressed them with beatings, batons and pushing, despite that, they marched towards the cemetery, and the forces stopped them again at the entrance to Salah El-Din Street.
The center added that the forces surrounded the funeral in large numbers in Salah El-Din Street, and as soon as they entered the cemetery, the forces stormed the place, and attacked the mourners with bombs and rubber bullets.
The center stated that the forces had arrived in the Herods Gate area and Salah Al-Din Street before the arrival of the funeral, and about half an hour before its arrival, the forces suppressed hundreds and forcibly removed them from the place.
After the funeral, the forces carried out mass arrests from inside the cemetery and from the adjacent streets. The lawyer of the Wadi Hilweh Information Center, Firas Al-Jabrini, stated that the number of arrests from Jerusalem amounted to 35 detainees.
Among the arrests was the injured Nader al-Sharif, who was transferred to "Shaare Zedek Hospital" and the forces stormed the hospital room andordered his family members to leave the place.
The Palestinian Red Crescent said that its crews dealt with 71 injuries during the confrontations in Jerusalem, 13 injuries were transferred to receive treatment in the hospital, and a paramedic was among the injured.
Martyr Walid Al-Sharif, died last Saturday on May 14thafter sustaining injuries during clashes that erupted in Al-Aqsa Mosque on the third Friday of Ramadan.

text: Hello, Listers, I wonder if anyone has dived or surveyed the corals along the northern coast of the Dominican Republic? Most of the coast is mountainous, with steep forested hills descending straight in to the sea, or ocean. I believe that's the Atlantic. There are only two bays with towns, the rest of the coast is generally devoid of humans. I sailed along there once. The water isn't clear at all, perhaps due to the Orinoco Plume. Couldn't see the bottom in ten meters of green water. At the entrance of the Luperon bay, someone scuba dived on a boat that had run aground, so we could best know how to free up the boat. The man said he was surprised at how much living coral there was. OK, thanks for your time and attention, I am just curious about this (maybe) pristine part of the Caribbean Cheers, Melissa E.

I Take The Dice
Duran Duran
Midnight I think I'm gonna make it
Feel the magical lash of the roll and the crash in their lives
Headline in tomorrow's papers
Kill that light it's so bright
And you're shining it right in my eyes
Show me your secret and tell me your name
Catch me with your fizzy smile
Try to remember again and again
What it is that I recognise
Don't ask me now
When I need you I don't know how
To believe in your advice
Just this once I take the dice
Midnight so what's the point of faking
For a kiss or a whisper you pull out a desperate prize
Hold tight onto Daddy's bracelet
Make them pay for their chances
With money they don't think that's nice
Written by: Duran Duran. Isn't this right? Let us know.

Numerous members of Congress have an alternative response to scholar bank loan cancellation — % fascination prices for your pupil loans.
Here's what you have to have to know — and what it signifies for your college student financial loans.
University student Financial loans
As President Joe Biden considers regardless of whether to enact extensive-scale pupil bank loan cancellation of $10,000 or $50,000, there are two key proposals in Congress to make student financial loans curiosity-absolutely free:
- The Financial loan Act and
- Zero-Per cent College student Personal loan Refinancing Act
With Biden weeks absent from 3 crucial deadlines for your scholar loans, could scholar financial loans have no desire?
College student loans: the Bank loan Act
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) proposed the Leveraging Chances for Individuals Now (Loan) Act. Here's how this proposed laws would perform:
- Get rid of college student financial loan interest on federal university student financial loans
- Apply a just one-time, non-compounding origination rate that scholar mortgage debtors will pay out more than the existence of their college student loan
- The origination rate will be 20% of the principal college student personal loan harmony for undergraduate scholar loans and 35% of the principal scholar personal loan stability for As well as student loans
- Pupil bank loan borrowers automatically will be placed in an earnings-centered compensation (IBR) program, through which they shell out 10% of their altered gross cash flow in excess of 150% of the federal poverty line, apart from in moments of unforeseen economical hardship.
When a a single-time financing fee would substitute college student loan interest, this proposed legislation aims to lower the general fiscal stress on college student loan borrowers.
Student financial loans: Zero-Percent Scholar Loan Refinancing Act
Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) released the Zero-P.c Pupil Mortgage Refinancing Act. Here's how it would perform:
- Help pupil personal loan borrowers to refinance their personal and federal financial loans to % scholar financial loan curiosity price
- This would incorporate scholar bank loan refinancing for all suitable federal Direct college student financial loans, FFEL college student financial loans and Perkins scholar financial loans
- University student loan borrowers with Direct Loans would get their university student personal loan personal debt refinanced quickly.
Now, the federal govt does not refinance student loans. This laws would not only alter the government's purpose in student financial loans, but it would also reduce student loan curiosity for eligible student mortgage debtors. In contrast to the Bank loan Act, which would eliminate student bank loan fascination when borrowing a student bank loan, this proposed legislation would refinance university student financial loans following borrowing.
What this implies for university student bank loan cancellation
There are quite a few essential takeaways connected to Biden's possible choice to cancel scholar loans and the upcoming of university student financial loans much more broadly. To start with, Biden's decision to enact extensive-scale college student bank loan cancellation will be impartial of this proposed laws in Congress. Why? If Biden enacts student financial loan forgiveness, it will be a 1-time cancellation of a pupil personal loan borrower's principal university student mortgage equilibrium (a separate willpower from a reduction in scholar bank loan desire). Second, whilst Democrats and Republicans have proposed laws to tackle student financial loan interest, Congress is not likely to go either of these charges. Why? Neither political celebration will assist the elimination of all college student personal loan interest. The monetary loss to the federal government would concern the two Democrats and Republicans. Third, Congress, not the president, sets scholar mortgage fascination costs. Higher student bank loan interest prices began on July 1. With no congressional approval, Biden just cannot unilaterally decrease university student financial loan fascination costs. That reported, Biden announced main changes to university student loan forgiveness. For case in point, by means of the rulemaking procedure with the U.S. Office of Education, Biden proposed reducing student bank loan fascination. Fourth, federal scholar mortgage payments will restart on September 1, 2022. Neither Congress nor Biden is probable to lower pupil personal loan desire prior to then. That means you really should be expecting your standard curiosity amount in advance of the Covid-19 pandemic to resume at the time student personal loan payments restart. Examine all your selections for university student mortgage repayment so you have a entire money photograph. Below are some terrific places to get started saving funds:
