The present study documents the histopatological effects of gram positive probiotic bacteria Lactobacillus rhamnosus in the freshwater fish Labeo rohita fingerlings challenged with Vibrio cholerae. Fingerlings were infected by V. cholerae were fed with 10-4, 10-5, 10-6 and 10-7 CFU/g of L. rhamnosus supplemented diet for a period of 30 days. Fingerlings without infection were considered as control and diet without probiotic was taken as control infected. The results revealed that the gill, liver and kidney of control infected fingerlings showed pronounced difference in their structure and completely damaged. On the other hand, these tissues in the experimental fingerlings showed less pronounced damage. However, the fingerlings fed with 10-6 CFU/g (diet 3) probiotic feed showed intact structure as in control. Therefore, the present study suggested that L. rhamnosus (at 10-6 CFU/g) can be used as an effective probiotic against V. cholerae for L. rohita fingerlings.
|Probiotic, formulated feed, disease, vital tissues, aquaculture
|India is primarily an agro-based country with more than 60–70% of its population dependent on agriculture. However, 30% of its agricultural production is lost owing to pest infestation. In the absence of a better alternative deployment of pesticides becomes inevitable despite their known hazardous effects. Application of pesticides in India contributed 3% of the total worlds consumption and is increasing at the rate of 2–5% per annum (Bhadbhade et al., 2002). One of the most economically exploited fishery resources worldwide has experienced an intense global expansion since 1955. Histopathological studies reveal the impact of toxicants on fish as it provides direct translation of toxic xenobiotics effects on vital anatomical functions. Histological analysis appears to be a very sensitive parameter and is crucial in determining cellular changes that may occur in target organs such as the gills, muscle, liver and kidney (Dutta, 1996). Histological investigation may therefore prove to be a cost effective tool to determine the health of organisms hence reflecting the health of an entire aquatic ecosystem. Histology of fish liver could therefore serve as a model for studying the interactions between stress factors which include bio-toxins, parasites, infectious germs, physicochemical parameters and pollutants (Brusle and Anadon, 1996). Pathogens produce pathological changes in fish such as necrosis in the liver, tubular damage of kidney and gill lamellar abnormalities (Ramalingam, 1985). Therefore, histopathological studies are necessary for the description and evaluation of potential lesions in aquatic animals exposed to various infections and toxicants in aquaculture (Mayers and Hendricks, 1985).
|The degree of contamination in aquatic environment is frequently assessed by comparing contaminant concentration in associated biota (Yang and Chen, 1996). Since bioconcentration of compounds have been determined in the environment, it has been observed that there are many quantitative relationships between structure and biological activity of chemicals established in aquatic system. Developing an accurate knowledge of the stress responses in fish is a crucial element for better understanding of the problems related to the well-being and survival of fish when exposed to forceful physical and chemical stimuli. A variety of blood-borne parameters have been recognized as reliable tools in determining the relative severity of stress in fish ( Brown et al 1990; Waring et al 1992; AlKindi et al 1996). The recent study clearly documented in the impact of probiotic effect against the pathogen Vibrio cholerae. on different tissues studied.
|Fingerlings were collected from Porur lake Chennai Tamilnadu, India, were brought to the laboratory in plastic bags with oxygenated habitat water then acclimatized in to the laboratory conditions for 10 days in disinfected 1000 L circular FRP tanks. During acclimatization the Labeo rohita fingerlings were fed with formulated diet. Healthy and disease free fingerlings weighing average body Weight and length 22 ± 2g and 6 ± 0.3 cm were selected for further experiments.
|For histological studies different tissues such as gill, liver, muscle and kidney were dissected from both control and infected fingerlings of Labeo rohita fingerlings. The isolated tissue samples were fixed in Bouin's fixative for 24 hrs and washed with distilled water. The samples were dehydrated in different grades of alcohol series and processed further. Sections of 5-6 μm thickness were taken using a microtome and stained using haematoxylin and eosin. Respectively mounted using DPX and observed under a compound microscope.
|Histological observations on gills of fingerlings fed with a control diet showed the normal architecture of gill filaments such as primary lamellae, secondary lamellae with mucus cells lying scattered on both sides. Whereas the gills of infected fingerlings showed proliferation of filamentary epithelium, lamellar fusion, loss of secondary lamellae, swelling of inter lamellae and excessive secretion of mucus on the surface of filaments. However the fingerlings fed with group 3 probiotic diet for a period of 30 days and challenged with Vibrio cholerae did not showed any deformities in the gills. Fingerlings of the gill supported the normal architecture as seen in the control fingerlings. The gills of both studied fish showed degenerative, necrotic and proliferative changes in gill filaments and secondary lamellae, edema in gill filaments and secondary lamellae and congestion in blood vessels of gill filaments. These pathological changes may be a reaction to toxicants intake or an adaptive response to prevent the entry of the pollutants thorough the gill surface. The observed alterations like proliferation of the epithelial cells, partial fusion of some secondary lamellae and epithelial lifting are defense mechanisms, since, in general, these result in the increase of the distance between the external environment and the blood and thus serve as a barrier to the entrance of contaminants . The cellular damage observed in the gills in terms of epithelial proliferation, separation of the epithelial layer from supportive tissues and necrosis can adversely affect the gas exchange and ionic regulation (FAS Mohamed -
|Muscles of fingerlings (control) showed the normal arrangements of muscle fibers and muscle bundles . However, infected fingerlings showed many deformities such as degenerated muscle fibers and edema in the muscle tissu gradual infiltration of macrophages, muscular necrosis and fragmentation of muscle fibers . However the pre groups group 3 probiotic did not show any marked deformities in the muscles. Histology of the muscles showed the normal architecture as seen in the control fingerlings
|The liver of Labeo rohita fingerlings fed with control diet showed large hepatic cells, polygonal in shape with almost centrally placed nuclei. Hepatic plate, hepatocytes with prominent central vein, sinusoids and nuclei were also observed. Liver obtained from infected fingerlings hepatic plate, granulation in cytoplasm, necrosis, vacuolization and disruption of hepatocytes . However the fingerlings fed with D3 probiotic diet and challenged with of control fingerlings.
|Fingerlings challenged with Vibrio prominent tubular epithelium, glomerulus with Bowman's capsule and inter bacterial treatment showed invading lymphocytes, hyperplasia of interregnal ce in tubular cells, vacuolation of kidney tubules, necrosis of epithelial lining and depletion of lymphoid cells in kidney. However the pre-treated groups 3 probiotic did not show any marked deformities in the kidney tubules, observation on kidney showed the normal architecture as seen in fingerlings fed with control diet.
|In the present study histological alterations were documented for different tissues namely gills, muscle, liver and kidney of Vibrio cholerae infected rohu fish Labeo rohita fingerlings, fed with probiotic supplemented diets. Histological observations on gills of control and probiotic supplemented diets fed fingerlings showed normal architecture of primary and secondary lamellae. Whereas fingerlings infected with Vibrio cholerae in gills showed fusion and loss of secondary lamellar epithelium. The pathological effects included an increase in the thickness and the damage to the mucosa. The parasitic infection in turn disturbed the metabolic pathways (Esch et al.,1977). Similarly muscle of Labeo rohita fingerlings, infected with Vibrio cholerae showed fragmentation of muscle fibers and necrosis. The histopathology of muscle duplicated progressive damage in the structure of muscle with increasing concentrations of the sago effluent. Similar observations were reported by Nagarajan and Suresh (2005) in the muscle tissue of the fish Cirrhinus mrigala with increasing concentrations of sago effluent. Sakr and Gabr (1991;) Das and Mukherjee (2000) have studied the effect of different pollutants on fish muscles.
|The other vital organ the liver also showed changes and damage to the hepatic cells due to bacterial infection. Histophathological changes such as vaculation, necrosis and nuclear condensation in hepatocytes were evident in the fingerlings infected with Vibrio cholerae. Fish liver can be regarded as the body's detoxification organ and hence a target organ of various xenobiotic substances. A first level screening to identify potential pollutant exposure and effect can be accomplished on the basis of overt and relatively simple measures of condition. Such measures may serve to identify the most sensitive members of a fish population. In addition, they may provide information on energy reserves and possibly the ability of animals to tolerate toxicant challenges along with other environmental stresses (Mayer et al., 1992).
|Histology of kidney showed a normal architecture in the fingerlings fed with supplemented diets. Whereas, control infected fingerlings showed dark granule accumulation in tubular cells, vaculation in kidney tubules and necrosis. The kidney is one of the first organ to be affected by contaminants in the water (Thophon et al.,2003). Most common alterations found in the kidney of fishes exposed to water contamination are tubule degeneration (cloudy swelling and hyaline droplets) and changes in the corpuscle, such as dilation of capillaries in the glomerulus and reduction of Bowman´s space (Takashima and Hibiya, 1995).

If you are a salesperson, your only mission is to get the pony out of the barn (i.e., close the deal). But according to several recent studies, including one by market research firm CSO Insights, getting to the pony is becoming harder and harder. CSO Insight's 2011 "Sales Optimization Management Key Trends" report shows that almost 25 percent of deals forecasted to close resulted in a "no decision."
Even worse, no-decisions have increased 26 percent over the last five years. This number also correlates with a reported closing rate that has declined almost 12 percent over the same period. The questions are:
- Why are "no decisions/losses" increasing?
- As a sales leader or CMO, what can you do to reverse the trend?
As a first step, consider how you can achieve the following:
- A proper sales-target segmentation and qualification process
- Well-defined and documented sales stages
- A stringent sales pipeline management process
Proper sales target segmentation and qualification process. I strongly advocate that you spend the time needed to identify which prospects fit your firm the best. It makes no sense to go after accounts that don't fit your perfect prospect profile (unless you are planning on entering a new market segment). Spend the time to profile the accounts that you work well with today and go find more of the same.
One way to determine your perfect prospect is to use a sweet-spot matrix. This can help you to categorize prospects as best fit, neutral fit or weak fit. Once a prospect is properly classified, you can focus your time on high probability targets and away from those prospects who will be hard to sell and service. Non-sweet-spot prospects dramatically reduce your closing rates for obvious reasons.
Well-defined and documented sales stages. By clearly defining prospect stages and customer activity/behavior, you reduce the likelihood that your pipeline will become overinflated. Standardized sales stages also help reduce no-decisions because it clearly illustrates when a prospect goes from suspect status to qualified status. Many reps will call a deal qualified even before a prospect agrees they have an issue and are willing to evaluate a proposal. Those need to be kept out of the qualified pipeline.
Stringent sales pipeline management process. Now that you have a good methodology to accurately assess your sales pipeline, how do you know when a qualified opportunity goes cold? There are always reasons why decision timelines slip, but when the decision timeline slips significantly or continuously it either needs to be restarted or called a loss.
Often these no-decisions result when opportunities forecasted to close start to age well past your normal sales cycle. When that happens, the closing probability falls as well. As an example, if you're normal sales cycle is six months and the opportunity has been on the pipeline nine months or longer you should strongly consider moving it backward on the sales phase chart. Maybe there are new decision makers or priorities have shifted. If so, you may have to revalidate and resell your solution. Taking this conservative approach will keep your pipeline accurate and your numbers strong.
Stay focused on the pony in the barnnot on the dead horses!

Preparing for Aumtumn 2!
Next half term will be learning all about cars in our Vroom Vroom topic. We are really looking forward to our trip to Beaulieu Motor Museum which will inspire the rest of our learning for the half term. Back in school, we will be looking into the history of cars and how they have changed over the years. We will also be designing and making our own model cars in DT, racing these against each other to see which classes cars are the speediest!
Year 2 - Autumn 1
Year 2 have come back to school refreshed and ready to learn, which is lovely to see! We have begun our new topic, Superheroes, and the children enjoyed designing their very own superhero that would help us to save our class mascots.
We have read about the adventures of Traction Man and used this to inspire our learning across the curriculum, including writing about Traction Man's adventures in English and designing him a waterproof outfit in science.
We also had a visit from another Superhero - Superworm! He arrived in our classroom along with some of his wriggly friends and we have been looking after them ever since. We have read his story and will be writing about him very soon.
This half term we have also begun enjoying some outdoor learning during our meadow afternoons - we can't wait to get out there again!
Year 2 Summer Term 1
Tails in Tales
This term we have been thinking about all things animals and lots of our learning and writing has been stimulated by Science! The children have been exploring a range of stories about animals including Wolves by Emily Gravett, enjoyed a day visit to Marwell Zoo, had an exciting zoo-lab experience where they got to handle live creatures and then in Design Technology lessons designed and made a finger puppet from fabric.
Year 2 Spring Term 1
Time travellers
Our school celebrated it's 123rd Birthday in January and Year 2 used this time to focus on learning about the Victorian era. They learnt about the life of a school child included having a Victorian day and produced a diary of a Victorian school child based on their experiences. The children enjoyed finding out about the history of Havant through our heritage walk looking at Victorian architecture, significant places in Havant such as the spring that was used for many industries in Havant at the time and the trees planted by Fairfield school children in Havant Park.
They particularly enjoyed reading the book Queen Victoria Knickers by Jackie French and Bruce Whatley and designed their own pants for the Queen!
Year 2 Autumn Term 2
Vroom Vroom
Our children went on an amazing learning journey during this topic. A few of the highlights were a school visit to Beaulieu Motor Museum where they learnt about the history of the motor car and went for a ride in an old car called Gumdrop.
After reading the book If I built a car by Chris Van Dusen they children used their imagination to design a car and then went on to make, race and evaluate them
Year 2 Autumn Term 1
This half-term Year 2 have enjoyed their learning linked to Superheroes. In English they have studied Super Daisy by Kes Gray and Nick Sharratt and Traction Man is here by Mini Grey producing comic strips and writing stories. They have also learnt to name and locate the world's seven continents and five oceans and identify the location of hot and cold areas of the world in relation to the equator and the North and South Poles.
Our class teacher is Mrs Lax and our teaching assistants are Mrs Williams and Mrs Hancock.
The children have been working really hard with settling in to the routines of Year 2. We have spent time learning about growth mindsets and how it is ok to make mistakes.
We have begun our first English learning journey about Traction Man and are going to be writing our own comic strip about one of his amazing adventures.
Maths has been linked to helping Traction Man solve problems with addition and subtraction.
Geography is our current topic focus. We have been learning about continents and oceans and how a countries position, in relation to the equator, determines the climate.
You will be receiving an individual login and password for Purple Mash. Purple Mash is an online learning platform which links to all areas of the curriculum. Your child will be using this in school and can continue this learning at home.
PE days are on a Tuesday and Friday.
Please encourage your child to read regularly at home as this will support them in every area of learning.

101 Chicken Wing Recipes A . Douglas If you liked this eBook, would you share it with your friends? Just click here to share it to Facebook and here to share it to Twitter www.libripass.com
Cajun Chicken Wings 12 Chicken wings -- tips removed 5 Bay leaves -- crumbled into bits 3/4 teaspoon Caraway seeds 1/2 To 3/4 tsp. cayenne pepper 3/4 teaspoon Ground cumin 3/4 teaspoon Ground coriander 4 Garlic cloves -- finely 1 1/2 teaspoons Dry mustard 2 teaspoons Paprika -- preferably 3/4 teaspoon Dried thyme leaves 1/2 teaspoon Salt 2 tablespoons Brandy 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon or lime juice Defat the chicken wings by cooking them in boiling water for 10 minutes. Drain and set aside to cool. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Using a large mortar and pestle, grind together the bay leaf bits, caraway seeds, cayenne pepper, coriander, cumin, garlic, mustard, paprika, thyme and salt for about 10 minutes. Add the brandy and lemon or lime juice to the pulverized herbs and stir into a thick paste. With a pastry brush, cover both sides of each wing with the herb paste. When no more remains in the mortar, squeeze the last few drops from the brush. Arrange the chicken wings on a baking sheet. Bake until the skin turns deep brown and is quite crisp approximately 30 minutes. Takes about an hour to prepare.
African Chicken Wings FOR THE WINGS 4 Garlic cloves 2 Shallots 1 1/2 teaspoons Salt 1 tablespoon Chinese 5 spice 2 teaspoons Paprika 1 teaspoon Dried rosemary -- crumbled 1/2 teaspoon Cayenne -- or to taste 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil 4 pounds Chicken wings -- about 20-24 Tips removed FOR THE SAUCE 1/3 cup Natural style peanut butter 1/4 cup Canned cream of coconut – Well stirred 2 Garlic cloves -- chopped 1/4 cup Water 1/4 cup Red bell pepper -- chopped 1/8 teaspoon Dried hot red pepper flakes Or to taste 1 teaspoon Soy sauce Coriander sprigs THE WINGS: Prepare the chicken wings: Mince and mash the garlic and shallots to a paste with the salt. In a large bowl stir the paste together with the 5 spice powder, paprika, rosemary, cayenne, and the oil. Mix well. Add the chicken wings. Toss and stir them until they are completely covered with the marinade. Let them marinate, covered and chilled for 4 hours or over night. Arrange the wings, skin side up, on the rack of a foil lined large broiler pan and bake them in the upper third of a preheated 425F oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until they are golden. The wings may be prepared one day in advance, kept covered and chilled and then reheated before serving. THE SAUCE: In a blender, blend together the peanut butter, cream of coconut, garlic, water, bell pepper, red pepper flakes and the soy sauce until the mixture is smooth, season the sauce with salt, to taste. THE PRESENTATION: Transfer the sauce to a serving bowl set on a platter. Arrange the wings around the bowl and garnish the platter with the coriander.
Anchor Bar Hot Wings Chicken wings Read below The key to good Buffalo Wings is how you prepare them as well as the ingredients and the handling of the wings. The most successful wings served up here in Buffalo are what they call "Grade A Grinders." Fresh wings that are very large and meaty. Usually, you cannot get them in a frozen package, but can get them from a poultry dealer. Once you find them make sure they are absolutely fresh. Wash them in cold water, split them at the joint and remove the tips. Place them on a rack on a pan and refrigerate overnight to let the blood and water drain out of the wings. THIS IS A REAL KEY. Drying the wings under refrigeration will help to make them a much crispier product, once deep fried. Next, use a deep fryer or a very heavy deep pot with a thermometer and add the oil. Peanut oil is very good, or a commercial product such as can be found at a restaurant cash and carry called Mel Fry. Heat the oil up SLOWLY, to 365F, and depending on the size of the fryer, deep fry the dry wings 6-8 minutes in small batches, until thoroughly done and golden brown. Hold the cooked wings in a warm oven if necessary. A combination of melted margarine and hot sauce in the ratio of 1 part margarine to 3 parts hot sauce will add the right zing. The key here is to add just enough sauce to coat the wings - the more sauce you add, the hotter they will be. For the very brave, 1 part margarine to 3 parts hot sauce and 1 part Tabasco is referred to as "Suicidal Wings" by the late and dear Don Bellissimo, who owned the Anchor Bar. Working quickly, place the deep fried wings in a large bowl and add the sauce mixture, shaking to coat them. There are many good hot sauces to use; the one they use is either Durkee Franks Red Hot Sauce or Wingers Original, again found in a restaurant cash and carry. Celery sticks and chunky blue cheese dressing (Ken's Buffalo Style Blue Cheese is a popular one) and plenty of napkins.
Barbecue Wing Dings 3 pounds chicken wing 3 tablespoons brown sugar 2 drops Worcestershire sauce 4 cups ketchup 1 onion Cut off the small piece of the chicken wing and the bony part so you have only the meaty part. Mix the ketchup, onion (cut up), brown sugar and sauce together. Dip wings in the sauce. Put on cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for about 1 1/2 hour. If you have extra sauce, cook in saucepan until thick.
Barbecued Chicken Wings 35 Chicken wings -- tips removed 1 Stick butter 1 cup Brown sugar 1/2 tablespoon Sauce 1/2 cup Dry red wine 2 teaspoons Dry mustard 2 large Garlic cloves -- crushed 1/4 cup Fresh lemon juice Fresh ground pepper to taste Requires marinating and long cooking time but it is simple. Place chicken wings, disjointed, in large flat pan. Combine other ingredients and pour over chicken. Let stand for at least 1 hour or overnight. Be sure all wings are well coated with marinade. Place pan in 350 oven and reduce heat to 250. Bake 4-5 hours, turning wings at regular intervals. If all marinade is not absorbed, pour off and dry wings out a bit longer in oven (but not too much) before serving.
Beau's Sweet-Sour Chicken Wings 20 Chicken wings 7 1/2 ounces Tomato sauce (half can) 2 tablespoons Orange marmalade 1 tablespoon Honey 2 teaspoons Ginger -- minced 2 teaspoons Fermented chili sauce -- (Summit brand) 2 teaspoons Pepper vinegar 4 Garlic cloves -- peeled 1 teaspoon Salt (scant) 2 teaspoons MSG 1/2 cup Water (more as needed) ds Tabasco, to taste - (or other hot pepper sauce) Cut off spurs from chicken wing-tips and rinse chicken wings. Place in pressure cooker with water; bring to pressure and cook at high heat for up to five minutes. Remove from pressure cooker and place cooked-out fat in wide-mouthed, tapered jar for other uses. Blend all ingredients except chicken and Tabasco (or hot sauce) until fairly even consistency, with no large chunks of ginger or garlic. Place 3/4 of sauce in pan. Roll wings in sauce; remove wings to broiler pan (with slotted top). Bake at 325 degrees F. for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and spoon about half of remaining sauce on top of each piece; broil for 5 minutes. Add Tabasco or other hot pepper sauces to taste and serve. Beau's notes: * Use vinegar "which has been used to keep a supply of bird's-eye peppers." * After discarding chicken spurs, wash hands with very warm water and Dial soap (and follow up with isopropyl alcohol rinse); wash all utensils with bleach. (One should always regard chickens, even if processed in USA or inspected by USDA, as unclean! USDA inspectors are notoriously less than thorough, and U.S. packing houses often neglect basic hygienic rules in working with chickens, especially in dealing with their entrails, waste products un-excreted, etc. And one should not expect much better from out-of-country chickens.)

Sometimes, when you get to that stage in your life when you most want and need things to be simple and straightforward, things can appear complicated. From care homes and funding care fees to issues of safeguarding, our specialist team at Mander Hadley can advise, help and support.
If life's problems don't come ready packaged, then the solutions don't either, but there are two essential principles we observe when dealing with dementia or mental incapacity. These are that:
- Everyone is assumed to have capacity to make their own decisions in regard to money and property or their care and welfare unless the contrary is shown to be so
- Any decisions made on their behalf or anything done on their behalf must be in their best interests and must be the least restrictive for them
These principles are fundamental to the Mental Capacity Act 2005.
We will look at your individual situation and the concerns you have with sympathy and in a rounded and holistic way, and advise you accordingly. Our services include:
- Arranging a mental capacity assessment
- Advice regarding planning and paying for care
- Advising in regard to care home funding and challenging decisions about fully funded care
- Advice and representation in regard to safeguarding meetings and multi-disciplinary best interest meetings

Writing without recognition or at least some kind of validation is hard. It's difficult to stay motivated, to keep spending those hours in front of the laptop and to keep pouring out those emotions.
Questions arise, most often when I'm lying in bed about to drop off to sleep. How long should I keep going? How long should I keep trying? Should I keep going?
Several times I've considered simply packing up and concentrating on my family and the farm. Then the summer holidays arrived and this summer was particularly poignant as it marked the end of my daughter's primary education.
So I did the unthinkable and gave myself permission to take some time off.
Not writing for a few days usually makes me a bit twitchy and to consciously decide to put the pen down and not turn on the laptop for several weeks was scary. Would I be able to write again? Would I want to? And if I did, would I have lost the ability I'd cultivated? A bit like taking time off from exercise, I suppose, and losing fitness.
But then school rolls around and new term begins and as turns out, a rest can be good. Back to school, back to work.
The crows of doubt may currently be perched on top of my laptop cawing at the number of times I'm using the delete button, but I'm still here and I'm still writing. I'm still being courageous.
Does the joy of writing ever desert you and if so, what do you find helps?

Nashville, TN Crawlspace Waterproofing and Moisture Barrier
Quickly drying out water in a crawl space may depend on the amount of water in the area. It may also depend on the level of humidity beneath your home. Small amounts of moisture may just be able to wipe up with a rag or towel. Smaller hand pumps may also be used to pump out puddles and sitting water. If there is major flooding in the crawl space, then it may need to be pumped out with heavy equipment that is meant for large amounts of water. Regardless of the amount of water, it will need to be removed before any type of repair can be done to the crawl space. Removing water quickly may just need to use more pumps and dehumidifiers to get the job done. But professionals will best know how to get water out of a crawl space efficiently. Thick towels may be spread around to absorb water. You may also have to rent equipment such as heaters, pumps, or dehumidifiers. Dehumidifiers can be used to bring the humidity and moisture level down. The dehumidification process take water molecules out of air to create a less moist environment. The water that was previously in the area will cause a high amount of humidity underneath your home, which could lead to the corrosion of the structure and more water related issues. Therefore these dehumidifiers will return the air to a normal amount of humidity for the crawl space. Dehumidifiers can also become a permanent installment that will regulate the amount of moisture that enters the crawl space. This will prevent future puddling of water as it will maintain the level of humidity in the air and can be beneficial for health, comfort, and the removal of musty odors and mold. As the dehumidifier dries and redistributes air, it will help to kill bacteria and mildew that normally thrive in damp and humid climates. After the water has been removed, then any damage that may have been caused should be removed or repaired. A new vapor barrier may need to be installed on the floors and walls of the crawl space. These precautions will help to keep water out so that the area beneath your home is dry. Removing all the water will allow for a crew to come in and make all the needed repairs so that water damage does not happen again in your crawl space.
Does water damage happen immediately?
Water damage will not happen immediately, but it doesn't take long for standing water to create problems. Standing water is great for allowing mold and mildew to form. Because there is no disturbance to the water, it is still and allows bacteria to form quickly. It will usually take mold and mildew 24 to 48 hours to form. Water can begin to corrode away support beams and foundation features. The time for water to corrode certain materials may alter depending on the material and the coating, but water exposure over time can lead to many issues. You may notice that moisture in your crawl space has begun to damage your home as floors sag and sink, creaking wood floors, and a musty odor will permeate around your home. So although it will not create damage immediately, it will be better to catch water based issues as soon as possible. If water damage is not stopped as soon as possible, then it could lead to more damage. Thus becoming more expensive for you to repair your crawl space and prevent water from entering in the future.
What does water damage do?
Water in a crawl space is a sign that something is wrong and will lead to extensive foundation damage if not fixed properly. Humidity may become trapped within the nooks and crannies underneath floorboards of your home and will become a breeding ground for different bacteria that will lead to mold, rot, and mildew. All of these things will create an awful aroma that will begin to saturate the air throughout your home. Thus, creating an unhealthy environment for everyone inside. If mold and mildew are allowed to build up, then the structural integrity may be at risk of being corroded away. Too much humidity in a crawl space will also corrode support beams and foundation, cause electrical short outs, create condensation, and promote insect infestations. Dehumidifying a crawl space and getting back to normal humidity levels will be very beneficial in preventing further issues that can come from all of these listed side effects. There are a few ways that water may enter your home. Water may enter when the air inside a house is much cooler than the air outside. This may occur during hot summers when the air conditioning units are on frequently to cool down the building. Air conditioning will create moisture beneath the floorboards and air ducts of a structure, allowing air to become trapped under the floorboards. Ground water can seep up through the soil beneath a structure and begin to create puddles. The humidity of a climate can greatly affect the amount of humidity in a crawlspace. To prevent this, most humid climates will utilize non vented crawl spaces to keep it away from outside air. And the humidity level may fluctuate depending on the region and time of year it is. Water during rain and/or snow storms may creep its way beneath your foundation if the gutters and downspouts are not functioning properly. Water in your crawlspace may also indicate that there is a crack or opening within some of your insulation or vapor barrier. Even just a little bit of standing water and moisture can create a bad smell, so having a professional come and help regulate the humidity level will be very important in stopping any issues early on.

By far the best part of BPS® Dentures are the use of the SR Ivocap processing system. This unique system uses continuous heat and injection moulding to produce dentures that are comfortable and functional. The acrylic is injected under pressure and during the curing process which produces a denture without shrinkage and warping which can occur under regular processing.
Ivoclar teeth such as "SR Vivodent PE" are natural like teeth that recreate the character of your smile. They are made of multiple layers of double cross linked acrylic reins that contribute to their life like appearance and well known resistance to wear.
A Stratos 300 Ivoclar articulator is used to strategically position the teeth.
BPS® Dentures are made to restore the natural look of your lips and support of your facial muscles.
BPS® Dentures are extremely life-like, comfortable, functional and durable.
No Compromise!
Normally BPS® Dentures require 5 – 7 Appointments, these include the following:
- Consultation and Examination
- Preliminary Impressions utilizing the Accu-Dent system
- Final impressions
- Face Bow transfer utilizing a Universal Transfer system UTS
- Bite registrations using an intraoral tracing device, such as a Ivoclar Gnathometer
- Wax Try in Set up utilizing Ivoclar teeth an Ivoclar Stratos 300 articulator
- Ivocap processing and then finally Insertion
The three core components of the BPS system are:
(1.) Ivocap injection moulding processing system
The SR Ivocap® system uses a controlled heat/pressure polymerization procedure during which time the exact amount of material flows into the flask to compensate for Shrinkage which ensures a perfect fit.This pressure also optimizes the physical properties of the SR Ivocap® High Impact denture base material and enhances the bond of the acrylic teeth to the base. An increase in the vertical dimension of the denture is also avoided.
SR Ivocap® Advantages:
- Complete polymerization– reduced irritation to the gums from free monomer. Great for those with allergies.
- Strong – extremely dense material reduces the chances of breakage.
- Clean – because of the injection process the denture base become non porous limiting the traditional odour that you can get from ordinary dentures.
- Accuracy – again, due to the injection moulding process, conventional dimensional changes do not occur. Dentures are accurate and they fit as expected.
- Health – because BPS dentures are accurate, none irritating, comfortable, aesthetically pleasing, patients can eat better than conventional dentures.
- Aesthetics – Due to the natural appearance of Ivoclar teeth, resistance to wear and the attention to detail and precision incorporated during the construction of the dentures, dentures appear as natural as possible, so patients can smile, speak and laugh with confidence
- Fit – due to extreme care incorporated in the construction of the dentures, it results into a better fitting, more comfortable prostheses (dentures that will require fewer adjustment appointments)
(2.) Ivoclar teeth
The Ivoclar teeth are manufactured using a layering process that produces a natural opalescence. Life like characterizations, such as demineralization points, are captured within every tooth.
(3.) Stratos 300 articulator
The Ivoclar Stratos 300 is an individually adjustable articulator. With its joint mechanics, all the important parameters can be continuously set; including the protrusion angle, Bennett angle and immediate side-shift, as well as, lateral, retrusive and protrusive eccentric movements can be accomplished. In layman's terms this means we can simulate all of your jaw movements from front to back and side to side. This can greatly reduce the tipping of your dentures as you eat.

Economic warnings
All the signals suggest the global economy could be heading for another recession. Joseph Choonara looks at the factors behind a crisis that the system could find difficult to resolve.
"The economy is the BEST IT HAS EVER BEEN! Even much of the Fake News is giving me credit for that!" With this tweet, Donald Trump greeted news this summer that the US economy had achieved the longest period of expansion in its history — 121 months of growth.

Sunday, June 1 - Patrick Berry
The title of Sunday's puzzle, "Extra Syll-uh-bles," gave us enough information to know that we were in for some puns...in this case, some really good ones.
The eight theme answers are all well-known phrases (or people)...with an extra "uh" added to them, creating new phrases which are then clued.
22A: Waistband sold in stores? (buyable belt)...the very last one to fall.
27A: Wiser from an ethical perspective? (morally safer).
32A: Fighting force trained by Pavlov? (the salivation army)...the funniest of the bunch.
56A: Freelance autopsist? (coroner on the market).
63A: Catchy song parts heard on "Name That Tune"? (hummable beginnings). I'd have to say that was my favorite.
81A: Stones and brickbats? (rioting implements).
92A: Store that peddles political influence? (rent a senator).
99A: Boiled lobster's feature? (red skeleton). I'm sure we weren't the only kids who thought that was his real name.
Lots of good trivia in this one...people, places and things to remember for future puzzles:
1A: Diane of "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore" (Ladd).
21A: World capital formerly a pirate stronghold (Rabat).
39A: Auto superseded by the Rambler (Nash)...we had one in the early sixties and loved the song about it. This clip of "Beep Beep" includes pictures of a 1959 Rambler...a classic.
40A: Actress Susan of "L.A. Law" (Dey). That was one of my all-time favorite television shows. Here's Grace with Michael, the love of her life. Susan was also Laurie Partridge and a Breck girl, among other things.
49A: City just west of Silver Springs (Ocala). Growing up in south Florida, we spent a lot of long weekends...so much to see.
59A: Renaissance painter Uccello (Paolo).
61A: Lady Bird Johnson's given birth name (Claudia). I knew that once but forgot it...needed crosses to remind me.
66A: Country with a camel on its coat of arms (Eritrea).
68A: Captain Hook's mate in "Peter Pan" (Smee)...appearing frequently in crossword grids.
90A: Attorney general during Reagan's second term (Meese)...and the only attorney general other than Janet Reno that I can always remember.
105A: Barrett of gossip (Rona).
108A: Only beardless one of the Seven Dwarfs (Dopey)...and the cutest, by far.
9D: "__ the Wanderer" (1820 gothic novel) (Melmoth). According to this article, it was "widely acknowledged by critics as the last great Gothic novel." I'm ashamed to admit that I'd never heard of it and only got it from crosses.
10D: Composer Pachelbel (Johann). Here's my favorite. If the music isn't enough to take you away, the pictures in this clip...from sunrise to sunset...are stunning.
19D: Premium vodka brand, for short (Stoli). It's my brand of choice...both times that I drink vodka in any year.
21D: N.F.L. star Grier (Rosey). I haven't yet committed his spelling to memory, and I always write Rosie first.
30D: Buchanan's secretary of state (Cass).
34D: Architect Jones (Inigo). I remember the name only because it's been in the puzzle at least once.
37D: Actress Witherspoon (Reese).
43D: "Tattered Tom" author (Alger).
48D: John of "The Addams Family" (Astin).
49D: Self-descriptive fruit (orange). I love the clue...but an orange isn't just a thing. It's also a person we all know and love...even if she did this puzzle in just over nine minutes.
58D: Founding member of the Dadaists (Hans Arp).
84D: Ohm of Ohm's law (Georg)...love the name.
85D: Queen of mystery (Ellery)...a brilliant clue.
86D: 2005 Best Picture winner (Crash). It was a good film...very intense...but it didn't get my vote. Not that the Academy cared.
87D: __ Sorrel (woman in a love triangle in "Adam Bede") (Hetty).
94D: __ Roberts, first inductee into the Romance Writers of America Hall of Fame (Nora).
My favorite clues...13A: They may be big fellers (saws), 30A: Two points? (colon) and 79D: Think that might is right? (misread)...the best one of all.
59D: Place to keep Mace (purse). I'll use this as an opportunity to show off my new purse from 1154 Lill Studio. Even if you don't buy a purse, it's fun to go to their site and design one...or two...or three. It takes about four weeks for them to make your custom-ordered purse...mine has already shipped and should arrive midweek. In addition to choosing the fabrics for the outside, I was able to choose fabric for the lining and the inside pocket. This is my second Lill purse, and it won't be my last. Orange also has a couple of them...one is seen in "Wordplay."
I've been at this far too long, and I have much to do today. Here's the grid...
...and I'll see you tomorrow.

Linda, Right with you re. SkelEton. Underrated, in my unabbreviated opinion. I wonder if Eritrea is still in our so-called coalition; I see Australia just decided to drop out and withdraw its forces from Iraq.
Pretty challenging puzzle for a Sunday, and puns are, of course, high art. Thanks for blogging on your busy day....

Think the extra syllable in 81 Across is the 'ing', not the 'o' in rioting...making the answer 'riot implements'...makes sense since both stones and brickbats are items thrown by rioters...

Bob, that's where I was going, too...before I realized that was what made the pun work. If you take out the "uh" sound...the O in this case...it becomes writing implements. Rioting implements matches the definition perfectly.
Isn't Patrick Berry just brilliant!

A STAR-studded line-up of Taibhdhearc performers from past, present – and future - come together for the gala celebration [email protected] tomorrow, Friday October 26, and Saturday October 27, to mark the 90th birthday of 'the grand old dame of Middle Street'.
Actors Bríd Ní Neachtain, Macdara Ó Fátharta, Eoin Geoghegan, Sorcha Ní Chéide and Séamus MacCuinneagáin will perform excerpts from productions staged by An Taibhdhearc over the years,including Macdara O Fatharta's adaptation of Máirtín Ó Cadhain's Cré na Cille, Mise Raiftearaí an File by Críostóir Ó Floinn, and San Siobhán (George Bernard Shaw's Joan of Arc ), while the future generation of An Taibhdhearc actors will stage an extract from musical Annie.
More than 30 members of Cantóirí na Taibhdheirce, under the baton of Paddy Daly, and accompanied by David Grealy will revisit highlights of the Taibhdhearc's rich tradition of musicals and operas, many of which were translated by Máire Stafford, and directed by her husband Seán. Fittingly, [email protected] is being directed by Máire and Sean's son, Maeliosa Stafford [pictured below], who has come home from Australia for the event. During a brief break in rehearsals he chatted with me about the show and the Taibhdhearc's history, beginning with his own memories of the venue.
"I remember seeing lots of shows there as I was growing up. Ag Fanacht le Godot was one that really impressed me which is why I'm doing a scene from it, and Mise Raifteirí an File was another - and I always loved the pantomimes. I also enjoyed operas like Cosi Fan Tutte and of course it meant a lot to me coming back to the theatre later in my career to direct Ag Clai Na Muice Duibhe and I'm doing a scene from that as well. Other memories I have would be the personalities about the place as well, growing up watching people like Coiril Ó Mathúna. I was too young to have seen Siobhan McKenna there of course though I heard a lot about her but I did see the early Mick Lally!"
Given both his parents were stalwarts of An Taibhdhearc, it is no surprise Maeliosa featured in many shows there himself. "I did a lot as a child, I was in quite a few pantos," he says. "In the 1970s while I was in UCG, I did a few shows; I remember the 50th anniversary in 1978 when I acted in Lig Sinn I gCathu and Cluichí Cleamhnas."
'I'm certainly enjoying it, it's nice being back in An Taibhdhearc and going home in the evening and sharing stories about the place with dad and a lot of the musical translations were by my mother so for me it is a personal thing to do as well'
"I've been asked to cover some of my own memories and my sense of the history of the place and the older people who were involved in it including my parents," Maeliosa continues. "As the first theatre to open its doors in Galway that was doing regular shows, even though it was often on an amateur basis, An Taibhdhearc was important culturally, especially with its championing of the Irish language - which also connected Galway with Connemara. It has a very important place in the history of Irish theatre."
It was during a visit home earlier this year that Maeliosa was invited to direct [email protected] "It was already planned to include eight or 10 songs covering a capella, opera, musicals, children's musical," he says. "There is a musical director and a 33-person choir, an a capella group and 10 kids from Scoil Iognaid doing a piece from Annie. So that was about an hour and I said I could add another hour comprising six or seven excerpts from famous plays, so I've been working with the actors and co-ordinate it all in a visual and aural way and getting it all to work on a small stage with a lot of people on it! I'm certainly enjoying it, it's nice being back in An Taibhdhearc and going home in the evening and sharing stories about the place with Dad, and a lot of the musical translations were by my mother so for me it is a personal thing to do as well."
I ask about the design and visual element of the show. "Dara McGee has painted scenery with iconic faces from iconic shows on the set," Maeliosa reveals. "There's the Taibhdhearc logo, and images of old Galway so there is plenty to see. Seán Ó Coileáin, from TG4, has helped me put together some televisual segments, photos from operas and so on, so the Taibhdhearc history is represented in that way as well, as the various songs are being introduced. The whole evening a big trip down memory lane."
Tickets for [email protected] are €20 and €15, with a package of €30 for those wishing to attend both performances. For more information see www.antaibhdhearc.com or call 091 - 562024.

The program enables practitioners to learn from medication incidents, and better understand why they happen and how they can be prevented. Utilizing both a preventative approach through proactive reviews of work processes to identify areas of risk and retrospective reviews of specific medication incidents, pharmacy professionals will be able to identify learnings that will help prevent incidents and enhance patient safety.
September 2019:
Learn about the first independent expert bulletin providing a preliminary analysis of medication incidents and near misses reported to the AIMS Program recording platform in College Welcomes First Expert Bulletin to Improve Medication Safety in Pharmacies. The College has also published a AIMS Data Snapshot: September 2019 supplement to provide a statistical summary. These resources are important in helping pharmacies, the public, and the broader health system understand the information that is now being collected for the first time in Ontario and how it can be used to promote patient safety.
The AIMS Program:
- Requires shared accountability between pharmacies, for the systems they design and how they support staff; and pharmacy professionals, for how they manage medication incidents;
- Emphasizes learning and accountability, through a safety culture where individuals are comfortable bringing forward medication incidents without fear of punitive outcomes; and
- Enables sharing of lessons learned from medication incidents through reporting, resulting in ongoing process improvements to minimize errors and maximize health outcomes.

Staffers at the Pima Animal Care Center say Tucsonans are responding to the need to reduce overcrowding at the facility.
Officials at the shelter have been tracking tends related to pet care in Pima County for the past five years and are encouraged by the results.
PACC Development Director Karen Hollish believes more people are spaying and neutering their pets and keeping them at home.
"We are experiencing overall trends in our community," said Hollish. "The number of pets we take in has been going down."
Hollish noted the shelter accepted 22,000 pets five years ago, but people brought in less than 19,000 last year. Staffers report their lifesaving rate for animals is up by 30 percent over five years ago.
The facility is also sending more of its adoptable pets into the community. Petco announced a $5,000 grant Monday for a program to match kittens with residents at Tucson-area memory-care centers for bottle feedings and other activities.

Workshop 7: Introducing A Cost-Efficient Approach to Design Effective Augmented Reality Learning Experience in K-12 Classrooms through Using Free Applications
Abstract: The workshop aims to introduce how to efficiently develop and design augmented reality (AR) learning experience in K-12 classrooms by using free mobile applications. Due to the popularity of AR tools in today's society, many studies have indicated the effectiveness of integrating AR tools in K-12 classrooms to enhance students' learning experience and outcomes in various subject areas (Bacca et al., 2014; Kurubacak & Altinpulluk, 2017). Although there is a trend of using AR in classes, because of lack of financial support or training on how to create AR learning experience in a low-cost manner, many K-12 school teachers could not take advantages of the affordances of AR technologies in their classrooms to benefit their students (Kurubacak & Altinpulluk, 2017). Thus, the 3-hour workshop will provide K-12 teachers and teacher candidates an opportunity to understand the current trends of AR technologies, affordances of AR in K-12 classrooms, and free AR creation applications. Finally, the intended audience will have hands-on experience of planning their AR lessons and developing AR learning materials on a free mobile application. The audience is expected to know about the cost-efficient way of developing AR materials and reconsider the benefits of adopting AR in their classrooms.

Predestination (2014)
★★ / ★★★★
One of the eleven time-traveling agents, only known as The Barkeep (Ethan Hawke), goes back to 1975 to catch and kill the "Fizzle" Bomber, responsible for many deaths across time. In this case, failure to stop him in 1973 will result in losing eleven thousand lives. The Barkeep makes small talk with a writer (Sarah Snook) with a fascinating story to tell, beginning with her life as an orphan up until her female-to-male transition.
"Predestination," written and directed by Michael Spierig and Peter Spierig, offers a strong first half, highly unpredictable in terms of the world the characters inhabit and also from a storytelling standpoint. One comes to believe that the core of the story is the hunt for a terrorist and so we come to expect a thrilling, action-packed picture with many classical twist and turns involving time travel. Instead, from the moment the writer begins to recollect her difficult and painful past, we are thrusted into a story with a lot of heart, insight and intelligence.
I wished that The Spierig Brothers were able to maintain the spirit of the former half. The picture is obviously inspired by Andrew Niccol's brilliant "Gattaca" in that one of the main characters is so driven to succeed, he is willing to go through whatever it takes to reach his goal. Snook plays her character with a real sense of anger and frustration with the world. Going through the detailed flashbacks, we learn exactly what makes him tick.
The second half is ridiculous, ludicrous and, quite frankly, nonsensical. Although I suspected that something like it is going to transpire because I have seen my fair share of egregious movies involving time travel, I so badly wanted to believe that the material would avoid the headache-inducing clichés. This is because the first forty-five minutes or so shows a genuine sense of creativity, verve, and a willingness to tell a story that may just stand the test of time.
Looking at the final act of the movie, observant viewers will recognize that twists without explanations are not satisfying. The screenplay's laziness upset me because I was so engaged in the stories of the writer and the barkeep. By the end, I felt as though my time was wasted because the writer-directors had no clue how to finish their story, brimming with potential, in a manner that felt exactly right.
The look of the film, despite being set across time, offers nothing special, but the elegant way in which it lures us into wanting to discover its secrets more than makes up for its lack of visual stamp. What is unforgivable, however, is the messy final thirty minutes, so confused in what it wants to convey, one gets the feeling that the Spierig brothers simply put everything in a pot and hoped that enigma or genius would appear out of the steam.

In a post-China waste import ban world, the Confederation of European Waste-to-Energy (CEWEP) is optimistic.
Green fire
China's ban on importing plastic and paper waste for recycling is extending to other countries as well, with National Sword setting the trend for having higher standards for the recycling value chain all round.
A recent report from the University of Georgia published in Science Advances revealed that some 111 million tonnes of plastics are now homeless, as they would have been shipped to China for processing, so what will happen to these materials?
CEWEP has published its 2018 Waste-to-Energy Waste Barometer, a report that has been printed annually since 2012. The report forecasts optimism, growth and profit for the European WtE market in the current climate, particularly with Asian import bans in mind.
Optimism abound, with WtE plant operator positivity climbing to nearly 50 points, second only to 2016's positivity index, with more than 70 per cent of plant operators reporting their business situation as favourable, while only one per cent believes the current climate to be negative. In addition, it is generally believed that now is a good time to be thinking about expanding your workforce, with 20 per cent of WtE plant operators stating they envisage opening up new positions in the coming year.
Only one-third of the respondents – which included 500 operators of thermal waste recovery plants and more than 700 plant manufacturers and suppliers in the WtE industry worldwide – consider the high WtE capacity demand of present to be related to import restrictions in Asia while another third does not expect Chinese waste import restrictions to have any impact on their business at all. Nevertheless, the remaining 40 per cent are being cautious, stating they think it is still too early to tell if the restrictions will be a catalyst for change in WtE.
"We hope that [the ban] does not mean significant waste shares are returning to landfills," said the CEWEP report. "European countries should see the new restrictions from China (other Asian countries are likely to follow) as an opportunity. As a chance to use waste as a resource within Europe – and in particular to put even more efforts in developing an efficient recycling system at home."

Simple living through homegrown foods, artisanal skills and a deep connection with nature.
So I did a thing.
I have wanted chickens for years, but my town wouldn't allow them. I watched as friends around the country raise their own flocks with envy. Finally, last Spring, they changed the law in our town after years of pushing. I was so excited for the change, but knew I couldn't get any chicks due to lack of planning. I also knew I was travelling a ton last year and didn't have my yard ready to protect my own den of hens.This year, however, is perfectly set up to bring up some chicks: very little travel, lots of home time and a homesteading journey mentality. I am ready for this next step!I researched the local laws which told me I was allowed up to 6 chickens for my property and no roosters. I looked into chicken breeds to see what would fit into our lifestyle – time, committment, space, cost, weather, need. I knew I wanted chickens for fresh eggs, but I also wanted chickens purely for the pet too. Living more simply and sustainably is my goal and raising chickens is just one more step in that homesteading journey.There are a bunch of chicken breeds and even more hybrids. I narrowed down my choice to the Barred Plymouth Rock breed. Barred Rock chickens are an Anerican heritage breed first seen around 1850 in the Boston area. They were the most popular chicken breed for much of the early twentieth century – a classic, mainly because they were great egg layers AND good meat chickens. They are just gorgeous with their black and white stripes, red comb and yellow beak. Barred Rocks are very docile, tame birds which makes them great around kids and as pets. I was drawn to them because of their heritage, their disposition, their beauty and their cold hardiness. New England weather is a big consideration.Since Thursday, we have housed 6 chicks in a simple dog crate box lined with pine shavings. They need a heater because they haven't developed their feathers yet, but they are already growing fast! Fresh water and starter crumbles to eat and some love and affection. They peep and sleep and eat all day.The chicks will live inside the house with me for awhile until I get the yard ready and build their coop (besides, they need to grow their full feathers before going outside for good). Luckily, coop designs are EVERYWHERE. The kids are really enjoying the chicks (and so am I) and I have been doing lots of coop design planning. I think I have narrowed down my plan, but it's still going to be a trial since this is my first year raising chickens. We all have to start somewhere.Chickens tend to lay an egg every 24-48 hours depending on the breed and start laying around 5-6 months of age. It all depends on how much daylight they receive too. So, winter months when the days are shorter could mean less eggs. Having fresh eggs is going to be so rewarding as is caring for these beautiful hens. We have already named 3 of them….My point is this…if you really want to raise chickens like I do, look into your local laws and do your research. Chicks are SUPER cute, but they are animals and they grow fast and have lots of needs. Beware before you buy. Be prepared. Be committed. I had been calling the 3 local tractor supply stores for weeks trying to find the breed of chick I wanted so when the day came that one of those stores said they had them, I jumped in my car and flew there right away. The excitement was ridiculous. I was happy to see that I had to sign a waiver before I took them and was asked if I had all the proper supplies. Keeping chickens is not so.ethinf to be taken lightly.Once you do the research and make a committment, I cannot imagine anyone not enjoying the experience of raising chickens. I am still only less than a week into this new chapter of our lives, but very excited for the future.
We are beginners though so I would love to hear from any chicken parents that have advice they wish they knew before starting their flock! Please share with my readers and with me!
Peep peep!
