Our family pet is most definitely a member of our family, therefore, they should have some degree of medical cover, and there are specialist pet insurance providers that offer a wide range of policies. In order to avoid confusion, this article aims to outline the various types of pet insurance available, to help the pet owner make the right choices when it comes to covering their pet for medical expenses.
Comprehensive Pet Insurance Cover
If you want the best cover for your pet, there are policies that cover just about everything, including the following:
- Major Medical Cover – This includes accidental injury, illnesses, plus regular healthcare.
- Emergency Dog Boarding Fees – In the event you are hospitalised, your pet insurance will cover the cost of emergency dog boarding.
- Overseas Medical Treatment – If you pet travels with you on holiday, a comprehensive policy would include any overseas vet bills.
- Tick Paralysis – A comprehensive policy would cover your dog in the event he suffered from this disease.
This is a very popular form of pet insurance, as it provides cover for so many situations, and it also offers partial payments towards a whole host of treatments.
Routine Care Cover
Check out the leading provider, Pet Insurance Australia routine care cover, which is a policy that covers major medical treatment, plus vaccinations and de-worming treatments. The cover also consists of a specific amount for the following:
- De-Sexing
- Council Registration Fees

There are many other treatments whereby routine cover subsidises a portion of the costs, and if you would like to know more about the policy details, an online search will help you locate a leading Australian pet insurance provider, where you can read all about the terms and conditions of the routine care cover.

Accidental injury cover will pay for emergency medical treatment, and for some pet owners, that is adequate. Both cats and dogs can easily become injured, what with cars on the roads, fights with other animals, plus injuries sustained from a fall.

The Phoenix companion
The Phoenix is among the most mysterious of all flying creatures, much of what is known about the Phoenix exists in legends which have been told through generations.
How to tame ARK Phoenix?
Attempting to pacify a Phoenix is, quite literally, playing with fire. The Phoenix must be continually set ablaze in order to be tamed. After it has been pacified, the Phoenix will regain its vitality when it is aflame! Although its compact size prevents the Phoenix from being ridden, its aggressive enflaming has proved to be invaluable in battle. Plus, it can quickly roast up tasty cooked meat and refine raw ores at any time.
The Otter companion
The Otter companion is now available with ARK update 514 for PS4. It can ride around on your shoulders and can help retrieve silica pearls for you.
According to the game developers, a similar update will be rolled out to Xbox One next week. Check your game update and download the latest ARK PS4 update 514.

I think you can make a case for outsourcing. When companies run promotions or introduce new products, they can't always hire employees quickly enough to deal with the calls. So they use outside call centres to handle the overflow. That means less waiting time for you and me when we call for help.
The problem is lack of accountability. Call centre staff get a minimal amount of training, so they can answer common questions. But they often leave you hanging. They may be told NEVER to give out names or phone numbers of senior executives. So, it's a closed loop.
If companies did more training of call centre staff and empowered them to escalate complaints, outsourcing might work out fine. Also, outsourcing results in cost savings that (we hope) are passed on to customers. That's a good thing.
Some companies, such as Bell, try to save even more money by sending calls overseas. I've got nothing against Indian call centres, despite comments on this blog suggesting racism. It's just that I hear constant complaints from readers about not understanding the accents. People also tell me about inappropriate advice — one senior was told to climb onto his roof in the winter to check his satellite connection — which doesn't take into account the Canadian way of life.
So, here's the question. If companies invest in better training, tools and technology, does it matter where they outsource the calls? Should you care whether the people you talk to live in Canada, the United States or overseas, as long as they're smart, well-informed, polite, easily understood and willing to connect you to a supervisor if you need more help?

Ground-breaking Study: Too Much Oxygen Risks Patient Death
Ground-breaking Study Shows Too Much Oxygen Risks Patient Death
Oxygen … it's routinely given to support acutely sick patients around the world every day. But a new study, co-authored by a New Zealand doctor and researcher, now shows that too much of it increases the risk of death for acutely unwell patients.
The study, published in the world's most prestigious medical journal, The Lancet, found that compared to a conservative oxygen strategy, liberal administration of oxygen increased the risk of in-hospital patient death by 21%; an estimated 1 additional death for every 71 patients. What's more, a further finding suggests that the more supplemental oxygen patients are given, the higher the risk of death.
Study co-author Dr Paul Young, a Wellington Hospital Intensive Care specialist and researcher at the Medical Research Institute of New Zealand (MRINZ), says the ground-breaking findings prove, for the first time, that there is such a thing as too much oxygen for acutely ill adults.
"Our findings are distinct from the pervasive view that liberal oxygen therapy for acute illnesses is at worst, harmless" says Dr Young. "They in fact show that administering too much oxygen is potentially harmful, even deadly".
Dr Young and his co-researchers from Ontario's McMaster University, analysed 25 randomised controlled trials worldwide, comparing liberal versus conservative oxygen therapy. The study involved more than 16,000 adult patients with sepsis, stroke, trauma, emergency surgery or cardiac arrest.
He believes the findings could have far-reaching implications for the treatment of acutely unwell patients worldwide.
"A simple change to current practice – being more moderate and cautious with how much oxygen is administered to acutely unwell patients – could save lives" he says. "If you are sick you may actually be better to have oxygen levels in the lower-normal range rather than the normal range".
In New Zealand and many other countries, oxygen saturation levels which dip below 90% generally lead to the administration of supplementary oxygen. Normal healthy adults exhibit oxygen saturation levels in the mid-nineties range.
However, Dr Young says knowing what exact level of oxygen therapy is potentially dangerous is yet to be established.
"Although this study provides strong support that too much oxygen is harmful, it doesn't provide definitive evidence about exactly how much is too much, or too little" he says. "
'More research is now needed to help establish exactly what those safe levels are"
Auckland Hospital Intensive Care Specialist Dr Colin McArthur says the study is of a very high quality and its conclusions reliable.
"Many clinicians have an awareness from earlier studies that too much oxygen may be hazardous, but the hazard was not well recognised" says Dr McArthur.
"This new study now builds a very strong case for what was uncertain before and also confirms we need to be more cautious" he says.
Dr McArthur agrees it's now vital further research takes place to establish exact safe levels of oxygen therapy and also define how boundary levels may vary among patients with different illnesses.
Dr Young hopes new Health Research Council-funded MRINZ research he is leading may help provide these answers. The study involves 1000 patients from 24 intensive care units in New Zealand and Australia, testing and comparing the results of normal amounts of oxygen supplementation with less.
Results from that study will be available from January next year.

With the openings of new restaurants, bars, and clubs, this nightlife stronghold remains steadfast
Over the last two decades Soi 11 has seen dozens, if not hundreds, of bars come and go. With the removal of the street-side alcohol vans, food vendors, and, most recently, the closure of the unnamed sub-soi that housed Cheap Charlie's, The Alchemist, and Stash bar among others, many predicted the end for this nightlife hotspot and expected that it would become just another soulless Sukhumvit soi filled to the brim of hotels, condominiums, and tourist-attracting restaurants.
The removal of the street vendors in October of 2016, in particular, caused an uproar among local-residents and business owners—some over the moon that pavements would be clear, while others felt that it stripped the soi of character and personality. Now, almost a year later, many have crept back and continue to operate on a smaller scale but the pavements remain significantly more pedestrian-friendly.
Several nightlife establishments have also opened within the past six months, bringing with them a touch of class and sophistication to the neighbourhood, while others remain as popular as ever. Newcomer to the block, Alex Brasserie opened in April of this year and offers French and Mediterranean cuisine served up by chef Arnaud Drouvillé, who previously served as Executive chef in Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto's Bangkok kitchen. The décor is modern but classic, and the eye-catching circular bar allows guests to enjoy creative cocktails and take in panoramic views of the surrounding hustle and bustle.
Also serving up French fare is Soho Hospitality's newest venture, Brasserie Cordonnier. Staying true to Soho's DNA, this authentic Parisian restaurant combines two of the most recognized aspects of French culture: food and fashion. At the helm of the kitchen is Chef Clement Hernandez, who rolls out French classics as well as a few of his own unique creations. The drinks menu hosts a catalogue of specially sourced fine wines and spirits, alongside an array of unique French inspired cocktails concocted by Davide Sambo, Soho's Group Mixologist. Don't be too surprised if a lightbulb arrives at your table—that will be the Lumière cocktail. The bar on third and fourth floor, Sole Rouge, was only unveiled to the public in August of this year, and it was definitely worth the wait. In an ode to Christian Louboutin the walls are adorned in rows upon rows of women's shoes while the playful cocktails are inspired by designer shoe houses. In the bathrooms you'll even hear a recording of Christian Louboutin describe his love for designing shoes.
Among Soho's other famed bars and restaurants in Soi 11 are Above Eleven, Charcoal Tandoor Grill & Mixology, and Havana Social, each offering unique concepts that draw in crowds almost every night of the week. Above Eleven rooftop bar and restaurant on the 33rd floor of Fraser Suites Sukhumvit has made it on to several lists naming Bangkok's best skybars, and it's no wonder why with its urban park themed décor, potent signature cocktails, and Peruvian Japanese cuisine coupled with its extensive views of downtown Bangkok (but the best view by far though is in the bathrooms). Downstairs, on the 5th floor, Charcoal presents the perfect balance between traditional Indian tandoori cooking and innovative mixology in a modern, industrial-chic setting. Just across the road from Fraser Suites in a small sub-soi, the telefono sign of Havana Social is still shining bright. While it's no longer necessary to dial the secret code to open the door (the venue proved to be too popular for that), the Latin-inspired drinks are still flowing and music is still playing late into the night. And like any Latin-themed venue should be, the atmosphere is always alive and festive with the crowds showing off their salsa moves on the dance floor.
Atop of the Le Fenix Hotel, Nest offers a more casual rooftop bar experience. Located on the eighth floor, the views are less impressive than other rooftop bars in Bangkok, but with oversized daybeds, an impressive cocktail list, and the sound of melodic music in the background you'll be too relaxed to notice. Plus, with lower heights comes lower prices.
The den-like Victorian inspired Apoteka prides itself in being a Blues orientated music venue and has a sterling line up of bands and singers performing every night of the week. As for the menu, unique apothecary-themed cocktails, an assortment of craft beers, and hearty dishes that comfort the soul are all on offer.
Although Marshmallow Kitchen & Bar doesn't receive much attention on social media, this underrated chic-boutique style bar has been going strong since 2011. Now that our beloved Cheap Charlies is no more, Marshmallow fills the void in terms of cheap drinks with a daily happy hour special of B100 gin, rum, and vodka drinks, plus local beers, from 5pm to 8pm. Thai dishes and nibbles make ideal accompaniments to after work drinks or an early dinner.
Trendy Oskar Bistro is known for both its fun-factor and fare. Its Mediterranean-inspired menu is the handiwork of Michelin-starred restaurant collaborator Julien Lavigne. Cocktails and wine are in no short supply, nor is entertainment with some of Bangkok's best DJs spinning tunes every night of the week. Themed parties are held all-year round, adding to Oskar's reputation as a go-to venue on the Soi 11 strip.
Living up to its name, Brew Beers & Ciders offers an impressive list of 500 imported beers and ciders. The venue is not large, but that doesn't matter when you have an array of ice cold beers at your fingertips. Daniel Thaiger burgers are also on offer with a permanent kiosk set up right next door. By contrast, Zak's advertises itself as a wine bar, and hosts the occasional salsa dance night up on its second floor.
Sports fanatics will be more than satisfied with Australian Pub & BBQ and Mulli's Sports Bar streaming sports every day of the week. Both venues offer good ol' hearty food and plenty of beers on tap, ciders, wines, and spirits. Come late evening when the live matches are done and dusted, Australian Pub's famous band takes over the stage and keeps the crowds dancing all night long.
If it's an entire night of dancing you're after, Soi 11 is home to four nightclubs, each with its own unique identity. In July of this year, Insanity—previously located on Sukhumvit Soi 12—held the grand opening party of its new venue. Over 1,200 guests, including the who's who of Bangkok's party-scene, were in attendance to see the opening of this new "super club". The hanger style interior boasts 14-metre-high ceilings, a retractable halo lighting system, and a French made L-Acoustic sound system. The club also promises international and local DJs seven days a week.
Also in July, Levels celebrated its 5th anniversary with a huge free party. Housed on the 6th floor of the Aloft Hotel, this popular dance spot has attracted many international celebrities over the years including party boy Tobey Maguire and music sensation T-Pain. On a smaller scale, 8 On Eleven is both a gastro bar and club, with the dance area housed on the second floor. This modern industrial-finished venue offers a wide selection of cocktails and classic European dishes—with a modern twist to match its modern décor. But if you're looking to get down and dirty, dedicated hip hop nightclub Sugar is the place to go with energetic hip hop DJs and dancers performing every night.
Other Noteworthy Nightclubs
CE LA VIE: One of Bangkok's top nightlife venues, this vast and glittering club is located on the 39th floor of Sathorn Square. It boasts impressive skyscraper ceilings, and a long window that affords an exceptional view. The music is orientated towards the commercial side, but international guest DJs—from various genres—often make appearances on the roster to mix it up.
BEAM: Located on the upper tier of Thong Lor's Courtyard 72, this club has a minimalistic warehouse look to it but boasts a state of the art sound system and visual equipment. Downstairs, lounge style Dalmatian Room plays laid back electro beats, while the main room upstairs offers deep house and techno, with international acts performing regularly. Taking ques from world-renowned nightclub Fabric in London, the subwoofers are placed under the dancefloor so partygoers can feel literally the bass in every beat.
BLAQ LYTE: This Thong Lor hotspot, on the 2nd floor of Badmotel, is a neon-lit, 90's style hip hop venue that throws parties for a good cause. Each month, owner Nick Supreda donates a portion of the profits to his orphan charity 32 Foundation.
SING SING THEATER: Tucked away on Sukhumvit Soi 45, this theatrical venue is decorated in Hollywood-esque Chinoiserie straight out of the 1930s. The Far East-inspired interior design is the handiwork of prolific Bangkok-based designer Ashley Sutton, and features a Chinese lantern-adorned ceiling, dark-wooded bars and furniture, and wrought iron pattern work. The interior space stretches across four floors, and six split levels—with the dancefloor in the centre. As for the music, expect a well-curated line up of house DJs.
MIXX DISCOTECHQUE: Classier than most of Bangkok's after hour dance clubs, this nightlife mainstay, located below the InterContinental Hotel, is a two-room affair—one playing hip hop and R&B, while the other does house and techno—and remains one of the city's few remaining late-night party destinations.

Following an injury at work the first person you normally see for treatment is your local General Practitioner. This doctor then takes on the role as the "Nominated Treating Doctor" for the purposes of the workers compensation scheme.
Role of the Nominated Treating Doctor
The role of the Nominated Treating Doctor is to oversee your medical management as well as participate in the return to work process. The doctor's primary concern is your medical welfare and to ensure appropriate medical treatment is provided to you to assist in your recovery and return to work.
The secondary role of the doctor is to provide information to the workers compensation insurer and rehabilitation provider in respect of the nature of your injury and assist in your return to work.
When reporting to the insurance company about your injury the nominated treating doctor is required to complete a WorkCover medical certificate. The certificate is to be based on the doctor's clinical opinion in relation to the injury you have sustained, whether work is a substantial contributing factor to the injury sustained and your level of fitness for work.
It is the doctor's responsibility to determine your ability to work and what restrictions should be placed on your employment having regard to your medical condition and the effects of treatment.
Often a rehabilitation provider and/or the workers compensation insurer place pressure on the Nominated Treating Doctor to certify that a worker is either fit to return to work or fit to return to certain types of work which in some instances may not be in the workers best interests. The Nominated Treating Doctor should ensure that you only return to work which is in accordance with your medical condition.
It is very important that the nominated treating doctor complete the medical certificate accurately and with as much detail as possible so the employer, rehabilitation provider and the insurer are aware of the nature and type of work that you are fit to undertake. Often when the WorkCover certificate is not completed in detail there is confusion and conflict in respect of what a worker can do in his or her return to work.
The NSW Medical Board has a guide to assist doctors in completing these certificates - www.nswmb.org.au.
The Nominated Treating Doctor plays a vital role in the workers compensation scheme assisting both workers compensation insurers and rehabilitation providers in your return to work.
It is important however that the nominated treating doctor always keep in mind what is in your best interests as the patient rather than the interests of the insurer. It is important that the nominated treating doctor when completing the WorkCover medical certificate is not influenced by other interested parties in the workers compensation scheme.
Should you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us on (02) 8518 1120 or email@example.com .

The wonderfully self-explanatory Back Pain is the less than wonderful condition that involves any type of pain or discomfort originating from the back or lower back area. While Back Pain can be directly caused by a slip or fall leading to an unfortunate landing, or a badly executed twist or lift, your feet can also be major culprits when it comes to unbalancing your gait, pulling your legs, knees and hips out of alignment and causing havoc for an otherwise healthy back. Back Pain is a common bi-product of other foot conditions such as Leg Length Discrepancy, Supination and Flat Feet.

From the Glendale Assn. for the Retarded to GAR Services to the Campbell Center, no matter what you call it, this organization has served its clients for 60 years.
The Oakmont Country Club was the opulent setting for the center's anniversary celebration this past Saturday. Some 300 celebrants were also treated to a "Tribute Evening," honoring those individuals and organizations contributing to the center's success.
Welcoming his audience was Campbell Center Board President Eric Hamilton. VIPs recognized were new Glendale City Councilwoman Paula Devine, Glendale Police Chief Robert Castro and the police department's young Explorers.
Actress Mariette Hartley was an able mistress of ceremonies.
First-up as "Lifetime Achievers" were Jerry and Phyllis Campbell. Their daughter Janice Campbell was born in 1950 with Down syndrome. Phyllis Campbell was a tireless crusader in developing an educational program for her daughter and others similarly challenged.
Those efforts led to the founding of the Glendale Assn. for Retarded Children as a preschool program in 1954. The center's new name honors Janice Campbell. Los Angeles Supervisor Mike Antonovich presented a proclamation from the county to Phyllis and Jerry Campbell. Antonovich recalled that Janice Campbell had stuffed envelopes for his campaign.
Next, as one of the center's "Heroes in Our Midst," was Carol Jouroyan. From 1981, Jouroyan served as executive director of the Campbell Center for 25 years until her retirement. Current Executive Director Sandy Contreras presented Jouroyan with a "Special Recognition Award."
More tributes went to Western Drug Medical Supply, which received the "Corporate Partner Hero of the Year Award." Bozho and Josipa Deranja and their family received the "Caregiver Family Hero of the Year Award." Their son Peter Deranja is a client at the center.
As past center residential administers, Don and Janice Peterson were honored with "Special Recognition."
Singer/songwriter Bill Withers, the father of a mentally challenged son helped by the center, introduced the evening's musical entertainment. His daughter and singer/songwriter Kori Withersbrought the house down.

These past two years have been, to profoundly understate it, difficult for me as a liberal. Between the screaming hissy fits of the regressive left insisting that I'm actually a conservative and the screaming hissy fits of conservatives insisting that I'm actually a radical socialist bent on destroying America, it's been a nonstop barrage of idiocy from both sides.
But let's be honest, as whiny as the "I hate Hillary" brogressives are, they're nothing compared to the balls to the wall hate of the resurgent white nationalism plaguing our country. With Nazis marching in the streets, running for office, and sitting in the White House, these are dark times.
The President of the United States is a fascist whose corruption is beyond anything we've ever seen in America. The Republican Party has completely abrogated its constitutional responsibility to act as a check on the executive branch and is, in fact, doing everything possible to protect Trump from the law. Throughout the country, GOP-controlled states have rigged their elections and gerrymandered their legislatures, disenfranchising millions of Americans, mostly minorities. Our democracy has never been so vulnerable to collapse.
At the same time, the rich have inflicted massive amounts of damage on both the environment and our political system, pouring polluting chemicals into the former and polluting money into the latter. They own the entire Republican Party. They've built a media machine designed to create an alternate reality for conservative voters. They poison our food, our water, our air, our land, and then have the police violently break up our protests. They steal trillions from us and then have politicians tell us that it's for our own good because something something "gay marriage is bad."
And while all of this is happening, half of the American electorate cheers it on because it makes liberals cry. Sure, they live in the same house that's burning to the ground but if they can't be the landlord, if America can't be theirs alone, they'll pour more gasoline on the fire out of pure spite.
Despite this avalanche of horror, which the above just barely scratches the surface of, even at my lowest points, when everything looks bleak and horrible and the light at the end of the tunnel is all but eclipsed by a deranged orange Death Star, I know mankind will get past this. I know that one thousand years from now, humanity will be free from the cruelty and greed and hate of modern conservatism. I know this because I have something that conservatives will never have: Faith.
If you've followed my writing for any amount of time, that probably surprises you since I'm a militant atheist. I don't believe in God or Zeus or Jesus or anything supernatural. That doesn't mean I can't have faith. I do. And it's a powerful faith, far stronger than the alleged faith of conservative Christians. They believe in a tiny God who punishes those they hate and rewards bigotry and greed. The believe this because it allows them to be horrible people and feel good about it. That's not faith, it's the rationalization and justification of evil.
My faith is in something far greater and much more meaningful. I have faith in mankind. I have faith in our endless ability to overcome every obstacle and continue to rise.
When we first came down from the trees, we were defenseless against predators so we learned to make weapons and taught ourselves how to kill…everything. It didn't matter how big or how fast or how strong it was or how many teeth or claws it had, we humans learned to fight, and then to hunt, the most dangerous predators nature had to offer. Forget Jurassic Park, if dinosaurs had survived, they would be our bitches.
When the Ice Age froze the world, we learned to how survive in conditions that wiped out every species not already adapted to the cold and even some that were.
When the ice melted, we continued to spread across the planet, recklessly launching ourselves across the oceans, having no idea if there was anything on the other side. Why? Because we thought it would be interesting.
We've survived plagues and famines and droughts and the collapse of more civilizations than we'll ever know existed.
We crossed mountains because we wanted to see what was on the other side.
We dived to the deepest parts of the ocean just to look at weird fish.
We live in scorching deserts, in frozen tundra, in arid mountains, in steaming jungles; there's not a place on earth that humans have not made their home because we felt like it.
And that's just the prelude to the really cool stuff that's coming.
The other day, I was talking to my 4-year-old donor son, Kyle, and he was telling me about how the Sun was going to expand someday and swallow the Earth but that was OK because we, meaning everyone, would all be dead by then. I corrected him and said it was just as likely that we would be living on other planets and in other galaxies long before that happened and that the human race would be just fine. He expressed some disbelief about this possibility.
I explained to him that a little over 100 years ago, the Wright brothers built and flew the first airplane; that just a century ago, we didn't even know how to fly. But now, we have jumbo jets, planes that can fly faster than the speed of sound, and rocket ships. We've even landed on the Moon and come back, all in less than 100 years after the first airplane took to the air.
If we can do that in 100 years, what will we do 100 years from now? Or 200? Or 1000?
Kyle is still chewing on that.
There's a line from Doctor Who that kind of summed it all up for me:
You lot. You spend all your time thinking about dying. Like you're going to get killed by eggs or beef or global warming or asteroids. But you never take the time to imagine the impossible. That maybe you survive.
I believe that we do survive. I have faith that no matter how hard the worst of us try to drag down the human race, humanity will eventually break free of them and rise up again. It may not be in my lifetime (although I would like to see it begin) and it may not be in my children's lifetime. My great-grandchildren my not even live to see it. But I have faith that that glorious future will come and so, unlike the "faith" of conservatives that lead them to only revere the here and now for themselves, I do what I can to help make it happen.
There's a proverb, allegedly from ancient Greece, that informs my faith: "A society grows great when old men plant trees in whose shade they know they shall never sit." I'm not that old and part of me hopes I'm lucky enough to catch a little of that shade before I kick the bucket but I'm OK with not knowing what comes next. Why? Because I have faith that even though my bit part will come to a end, the story itself will never end. Climate Change will come and go, fossil fuels will be discarded, disease and poverty will be no more, humanity will leave its cradle and leave behind the childish greed and hate of modern American conservatism in pursuit of a grander destiny.
And nothing Donald Trump, his Republican enablers or his white nationalist supporters can do will change that.

Evergreen Orchid Leaves Brighten The Forest Floor
Downy Rattlesnake Plantain (Goodyera pubescens) is a perennial evergreen orchid found growing in deciduous and coniferous forests, often in dry, sandy soil. While its hairy (downy) stalk of delicate, white, late-summer flowers is eye-catching (see 8/20/13 NC post), the leaves of Downy Rattlesnake Plantain are also works of art. Rosettes of bluish-green leaves emerge at the end of horizonal rhizomes, or stems, that are usually covered lightly by leaf litter.
The common name "plantain" has been applied to diverse, unrelated plants that have broad, flat leaves, the word being derived from the Latin word planta, referring to the sole of the foot. "Rattlesnake" alludes to the resemblance of this plant's prominent reticulated veins to the scaly skin of snakes.
As is typical of orchids, the roots of Downy Rattlesnake Plantain have a mycorrhizal relationship with fungi that assists the plant in the acquisition of moisture and nutrients, while the plant provides products of its photosynthesis to feed the fungus. Also typical of orchids, the seeds of this species are minute and dust-like, bearing few nutrients to assist in the establishment of new seedlings. Seedling establishment requires assistance from soil fungi, from which the orchid derives the organic molecules it needs until it can make its own food via photosynthesis in its leaves.

Showy Lady's Slippers Flowering
Showy Lady's Slippers (Cypripedium reginae) can be found growing in five of the six New England states (all but Rhode Island). They are ranked as "extremely rare" in three of these states (CT, MA and NH), and uncommon in Vermont and Maine. To gaze upon a flowering clonal cluster of these striking orchids is a thrill no matter where you are in the Northeast.
Given their rarity and distinctive appearance, all populations of Showy Lady's Slippers are well documented. However, one can still unexpectedly come upon them. In Vermont, where they are on the "List of Rare and Uncommon Native Vascular Plants," an historical population that had not been seen since 1902 was rediscovered by the Green Mountain National Forest staff in 2009. It consisted of more than 1000 plants.
When you're traveling through wetlands (forested or open) and moist woods, generally in limy sites, at low to moderate elevations, keep an eye open for these rare beauties. Showy Lady's Slippers dramatically announce their presence at this time of year with their distinctive and colorful blossoms. (For more natural history on this species, go to the Naturally Curious blog, scroll down and on the right-hand side, search for "Showy Lady's Slipper.")

Lady Slippers & Resupination
There is just as much learning, or more, going on at my end of this blog as there is at the readers'. A Vermont naturalist recently sent me a photograph of an upside down Pink Lady's Slipper (Cypripedium acaule). Over 50 years in the field and I have never come across this phenomenon, nor was I familiar with the process that produced it.
Some flowers, including many orchids, are "resupinate." While the flower is developing, the flower stalk does a 180 degree twist, bringing what would be the bottom of the flower to the top. With lady's slippers, the labellum, or lip, is inverted, so that it ends up not above the other two petals, but below them. This modified petal, or pouch, serves to attract pollinating insects and acts as a landing platform for them. For some unknown reason, the stalks of the pictured Pink Lady's Slippers never twisted, allowing us to see the original position of the labellum in both flowers. (Photo by Sue Wetmore)

Showy Orchis Flowering
Showy Orchis (Galearis spectabilis), one of the earliest orchids to bloom in the spring, produces a short stalk that rises between two large, glossy, green leaves and bears between two and fifteen flowers. A hood of pink to deep lavender sepals and petals protects the reproductive flower parts; the lower petal is white and spurred, providing a landing pad as well as nectar at the tip of the spur for visiting bumblebees (their main pollinators), butterflies and moths.
Like other orchids, Showy Orchis produces small seeds with no energy reserves. The germinating seedlings need to develop a relationship in their roots with a fungus in order to obtain nutrients for growth. Only certain fungi will develop this relationship, and for Showy Orchis they appear to be only fungi in the genus Ceratobasidium. (Thanks to Erla Youknot and Virginia Barlow for photo ops.)

Nodding Ladies' Tresses Flowering
Nodding Ladies' Tresses (Spiranthes cernua) are flowering in wetlands throughout New England. This diminutive orchid is described to perfection by Minnesotawildflowers.info as a "spiraling stalk of closely clustered, crystally translucent white flowers thrusting their twisting trumpets out at right angles to the stalk." The downward "nodding" curve of its tubular flowers and the vague resemblance of the flower stalk to a braid may account for its common name. The flower stalk is anywhere from four to twelve inches high and the lightly fragrant delicate flowers, like those of most orchids, are resupinate. That is, they twist during their development into an upside-down position.
Rose Pogonia Flowering
We are at the tail end of the flowering season for Rose Pogonia, (Pogonia ophioglossoides). Although it also has the common name Snakemouth Orchid, the species' name, ophioglossoides, comes from the Greek word for snake (ophis) and tongue (glossa), referring to a perceived similarity to Adder's Tongue Fern (Ophioglossum pusillum), rather than a snake's mouth.
The petals of this exquisite orchid have a delicate fragrance when fresh, reminiscent of red raspberries. The lower petal, or labellum, is deeply fringed and bearded in the center with yellow bristles. Rose Pogonia grows to a height of about two feet, and there is a single narrow leaf near the middle of its stem. Look for it in sphagnum bogs, fens, wet meadows, and acidic swamps. Although Rose Pogonia is pollinated by a number of different species of bumble bees, a white crab spider on the labellum looks like it has captured a much smaller insect that was visiting this particular flower.

Lesser Purple Fringed Orchis Flowering
Approximately sixty orchids can be found in the Northeast, more than half of which are found growing in bogs and fens. (Bogs are filled with atmospheric moisture and have very low levels of nutrients; fens receive their water from streams or springs, and have slightly more nutrients than bogs.) In July and August in the Northeast, the Lesser Purple Fringed Orchis (Platanthera psycodes) sends up a 1 – 3' spike filled with fragrant, tiny (3/4" long) flowers, each of which possesses a three-lobed, fringed lower lip and a long nectar spur . Found in cooler habitats, its range is being pushed northwards as global temperatures warm — a specimen was found at an altitude of 1,500 feet in Vermont. This orchid is on several states' endangered or threatened lists outside of New England, and a species of special concern in Rhode Island. (Thanks to Shiela and Steven Swett for photo op.)

Stay on target
A Studio Ghibli producer stated that acclaimed director Hayao Miyazaki will probably be drawing storyboards until he dies, which is apt considering he's once again left retirement to make a film.
In the NHK television special Owaranai Hito Miyazaki Hayao–translated to The Man Who Is Not Done: Hayao Miyazaki–which aired Sunday, Miyazaki has already begun storyboard work on Kemushi no Boro, or Boro the Caterpillar, and hopes to have it done before the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
Miyazaki famously retired from making feature films three years ago but has been working on shorts for the Studio Ghibli museum. One project was Boro the Caterpillar, the story of a caterpillar so small "that it may be easily squished between your fingers." The plan was for it to be a 12-minute short that would premiere at the museum next year, but Miyazaki has expressed his disappointment with the results and hoped it'll make for a better feature film.
Since the film could take up to five years to make (with hopes it'll take less time), Miyazaki will be 80 years old by the end of production.
So far, the film hasn't been greenlit yet by the studio, but considering this is Hayao Miyazaki, who co-founded the studio and has been the name behind some of its biggest moneymakers, you can expect it'll probably get approved.
Miyazaki has gone in and out of retirement a few times, so the news isn't that surprising. The last time he said it, which was to a crowd of over 600 journalists in 2013, he iterated that he really meant it, citing problems with age. He added that he would continue to draw, but that he would step away from directing animated features.
His last animated feature was Kaze Tachinu, or The Wind Rises, which was the highest grossing film in Japan in 2013. That movie felt like a swan song, as it encompassed some motifs and themes that Miyazaki had included in his work and told the story of creation and old age.
However, even though The Wind Rises was a good film to go out on, we're sure Boro the Caterpillar will be worth the wait. This is Miyazaki after all.

Legislation in Albany To Protect Patients
Legislation is now pending in Albany to protect New Yorkers from price gouging by hospitals on out-of-network emergency charges.
It's essential that our state lawmakers pass legislation to curb outrageous out-of-network hospital charges before the legislative session ends late next month.
Specifically, under current law, any hospital that lacks a contract with a patient's insurance provider may charge their insurer any amount they choose. When insurers pay more for exorbitant out-of-network costs, patients end up paying more in the form of higher rates the following year. When the higher health care premiums are paid for by employers ( which is the case for many unions), patients can still lose because higher health care costs can mean less money for raises.
Although far from perfect, New York State has been ahead of the curve in protecting workers in recent years. For instance, it has contained the extravagant, confiscatory charges of emergency doctors who don't participate in the network plans of the hospitals in which they work. Often the patient is not in a state or position to make inquiries when receiving their services in acute situations. Since 2014, an independent Arbitration process can mitigate the arbitrary and astronomical bills that unchecked greedy doctors send.
In a Crain's New York Business article, co-authors Michael Mulgrew, president of the United Federation of Teachers, Heather Briccetti, CEO of the Business Council of New York State, and Chuck Bell, programs director at Consumer Report, strongly urge the passage of this patient protection legislation, because it would extend "this same level of transparency and accountability…to all emergency room charges, not just doctors…We all need to work together…to ensure that New Yorkers are not caught in the middle between the hospitals and health insurers."
An independent Yale University study of the effects of the 2014 legislation confirms that the change brought whopping relief from the predatory billing of out-of-network emergency doctors in hospitals.
We make sacrifices all our lives to build "nest eggs" and reserve for future pleasures, but as things currently stand, they can be torpedoed by a few wickedly excessive hospital charges. If this patient protection legislation (A.264-B/S.3171-A) is passed in Albany in June, this act of law would also be an act of mercy.
Let's keep after our state senators and assembly members.

Wedding Catering Norman Park QLD
8 Expert Tips For Picking the Right Catering Service In Norman Park
When it concerns the important things that can make or break an event, couple of are as important as the quality, flavor and look of the food and drinks you serve. A lot is riding on your choice which caterer to hire, and if you think this decision truly isn't that crucial, look at it by doing this, incredible catering can save an occasion that's on the rocks, but bad catering will almost always send visitors to the doors.
In addition, since catering is typically the # 1 or # 2 line-item expense for many occasions, the catering service you choose is also a significant monetary decision and can influence just how much money you have left over to spend on other areas depending on food costs and quantities.
Add in the fact that caterers can differ significantly in their pricing and the types of meals and services they use, and the process of selecting a caterer can figuratively and literally seem like you are comparing apples to oranges.
# 1 Responsiveness And Personal Interest In Your Needs
Of all the event and catering professionals we talked with, this showed up over and over and over again, primarily because how responsive and interested a caterer is during your preliminary conversations is a sign of how they will carry out throughout the length of their agreement with you (and more on contracts later on).
A prospective caterer needs to be discovering as much as they can about you in your very first couple of discussions with them, so you ought to anticipate them to be talking and asking questions about 20% of the time and you supplying answers and describing your requirements about 80% of the time.
# 2 Ability To Manage Your Specific Type of Occasion In Norman Park 4170
Not every catering service is best or every kind of event, and many catering services themselves freely admit this.
So when interviewing your Norman Park catering services (and you ought to speak with a minimum of 3 catering services for any occasion with an affordable spending plan), you have to be specific about the kind of event you are planning and the kind of food and/or presentation you are expecting. Otherwise, you might wind up choosing a catering service who simply isn't really a good suitable for the type or style of your occasion.
Almost every caterer has a basic menu or menus to select from, and many do provide some level of built-in flexibility to adjust these menus to your specific needs by substituting specific items and/or customizing others.
Nevertheless, the standout caterers will exceed standardized menu choices and want to develop amazing fare that matches even more particular style and dietary needs.
# 3 Determination To Supply Tastings
How will you ever know exactly what a catering service can do unless you sample their goods? And more specifically, how will you understand exactly what the menu items you are thinking about will taste like unless you specifically attempt them?
Some people avoid asking to sample the specific items they want for their occasion due to the fact that it seems like a hassle for the catering service, however it is standard to request a tasting of exactly what you are meaning to order prior to you sign on the dotted line.
In addition, you can request wine parings for these tastings if they are appropriate for your event (again, be prepared to pay a cost, it's a small cost to pay to guarantee you select the right caterer). And when you are sampling the food, also attend to how it exists, as any catering service who takes the time to properly display a sample will probably be more likely to make that sort of effort on your event day.
Are you an event supervisor who has to manage catering information, budget plans and projects?
Or are you a catering service who needs to track proposals, invoices, meal selections, stock and other customer details?
# 4 Familiarity With The Location
You may remain in for a surprise if you work with a BBQ take-out joint to cater an official ballroom fundraising event. Or if you select a high-end corporate occasion caterer to serve a barn wedding event. Why? Due to the fact that these catering services may not be accustomed to preparing and serving food in such a setting.
This can get even more specific depending upon limitations of the location itself, like in the case of museums and historical sites.
Even more standard venues can likewise have constraints that catering services must follow, like specific setup standards or disposal limitations for waste food and water, so having a catering service that recognizes with a location's rules can possibly save you lots of inconvenience on occasion day.
# 5 Complete Description Of Services/Goods Promised In The Contract
The caterer's agreement should plainly define exactly what food, drinks and services the caterer will be offering on the designated day( s). Furthermore, it must secure you from non-performance as much as it safeguards the caterer from non-payment/default, so you might want to consider having a lawyer} look at it prior to you sign it.
Every detail should be consisted of in the agreement, consisted of selected menus, variety of portions and/or individuals to be served, beverage/bar service information (if appropriate) and all rates and extra services.
No catering service in Norman Park with a shred of self-respect and scruples enters into a contract with strategies to bail at the last minute, but you need to ensure there is a cancellation provision in your agreement simply in case your catering service has to cancel.
You do not want to be left without recourse with only days or hours before your occasion, so simply make certain cancellation procedures and charges remain in place so you do have a backup plan.
# 6 Referrals You Can Call and Speak With
Of course you will need to check up on the catering services you are considering, and it's always good to start online and check out sites.
Nevertheless, do not stop there, as online reviews are not always reputable (and even genuine); for instance, a great catering service might have had a couple of nightmare/hater customers who alter their scores, while a truly average catering service might have padded their online reviews. So see if you can track down some previous clients of the caterers you are considering and reach out to them.
# 7 Insurance
Every catering service we talked to called insurance protection "a provided" for caterers, and you certainly do not wish to lawfully be on the hook for some oversight or accident that was the fault of your catering service.
# 8 A Skilled Chef and Kitchen Area Staff
Remarkably, the length of time a catering business in Norman Park has been around may not be as important in picking a terrific caterer as you may think.
So make certain to ask about the chef's bona fides and CV due to the fact that he/she will probably be the one most responsible for the outcome of the meal and whether your visitors enjoy it or not.

Health ~ Depression ~ Antidepressants vs. nutrition
Good (none): Alleviate symptoms of depression. FALSE. No one has ever laughed on them they just need more and more; as the side effects make them feel even more miserable.
Bad (deadly): Side effects that actually ARE the effects of insulin for causing hypoglycemia: depression (yup!), psychosis (as if it wasn't bad enough), obesity, impotence of no more libido, aggressiveness, murder, suicide ideation, suicide, sudden death (involuntary). You end up dependent and can't stop without going through agony even if you no longer need them, and never did in the first place.
Nutrition with 3 examples among many:
(For a longer list see my page Classed by symptoms)
Vitamin C
Good: Improve how the adrenal; glands cope with stress, by releasing energy as needed, preventing hypoglycemia. Handle allergens and toxins better as well. Makes strong collagen in the joints, heart and gums. Empower the white blood cells to fight infection. Helps make you feel energetic or relaxed depending on what the body needs at that moment.
Side effect which is good too: Pooping.
B complex
Good: Necessary to make the red blood cells that carry oxygen to the brain and everything, also vital for the adrenal glands to produce energy and to burn fat.
Side effects: peeing bright yellow, having more energy than you know what to do with.
Good: necessary to MAKE neurotransmitters, strong teeth and bones, relaxes muscles contraction, alleviates PMS, brief euphoria that soon spreads into a general feeling of happiness, sleeping like a baby rock.
Side effect which is good too: Pooping.
The side effects of nutrition are useful to know how much your body need. For vitamin C it's called bowel tolerance.
Pooping relieves constipation which can cause colon cancer when shit rots on your flesh too long, and prevent painful hemorrhoids, and trying too hard to poop can kill people with heart attacks. But vitamin C makes a strong heart. It also detoxifies you, preventing all forms of cancer.
It even helps you loose weight, as long as you feed on greens and not eat a whole cake for breakfast and junk. Even vitamins can't undo the consequences of poisoning yourself. Antidepressants only add more poison and WILL fry your pancreas, kidneys and liver… cause imbalances in your brain… and everything making you drop dead.
So you decide what sounds better between getting even more reasons to be depressed and suicidal and feeling better in more areas of your life than you thought possible.
Be a powerless enslaved junky to a corporation that only want profit, benefit from your misery and it,s in their best interest to not only keep you that way for life, but make you even worse.
Or be responsible of your own well being with care, love, respect and compassion, nurturing your needs and limits. Be patient and believe that you can figure it out. It's not "when we want we can" the truth is "when we can we want". You won't be motivated if your body is ill, and if you force yourself when you can't, you'll accumulate a debt that will eventually explode in your face. Then you need to catch up to rest and especially nutrition. Because you won't even be able to sleep if you don't have the materials to do that healing process.
Even the most insignificant choices change who you are, your whole life and even the opportunities that come your way. Eat well, feel well, look well.
You feel bad for a reason. Find it. Fix it.
