The Kelly who is composing this post is different from who I was before September 2012. It is not because I am heavier than I have ever been in my life: 50 lbs over my driver's license weight and 70lbs more than my wedding weight. I am different because what happened in September 2012 and the process of healing that I went through caused me to take a long hard look at myself and realize that I am not who I want to be. I went through a grieving process that included shock, denial, a lot of anger and finally acceptance and freedom. I have been dealing with severe Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Panic Disorder, Anxiety disorder and Depression—all so debilitating that I was physically frozen in a ball for much of the time. I have learned some very hard lessons. Most importantly, I learned that it is an ABSOLUTE necessity to find Joy in every single day, especially when we are walking through the valley of the shadow of death.
We dance too. These last eight months, we have made a concerted effort to dance almost every day, because dancing brings each of us Joy. Even on days where one or both of us were unwell, George will take my hand and gently sway back and forth to the music in our heads.
Let's rewind time a bit to the day that my husband, George, woke up from his coma. I wrote about my experience with George's coma in a blog post: Trauma 22 Years Apart: My Brother & My Husband. George was not quite with it and still quite affected by the medication he had been on to keep the seizures at bay among other things. He was restless in bed; he was extremely uncoordinated ; he was not thinking clearly at times; his memory was quite poor; he was still very fragile medically and though off the ventilator, he was very hoarse.
George's parents were sitting in folding chairs at his side. I was reclined in one of those pink hospital chairs as my chronic illnesses were draining me in addition to everything else. It was lunch time and my parents were out to lunch on their shift, promising to bring back something for me from home. I was on my cell typing a text to my dad saying my body was crashing and I needed to go home and sleep (something I had not done in a few days) and was asking if he could take me home.
But before I could hit "send", George's almost unintelligible raspy voice called my name. "Kelly." I put the phone down and looked at him with a smile and asked what he needed. He said,
"I need to tell you something."
I cannot remember exactly what George said because in the moment I was telling myself to keep strong and keep on a loving supportive countenance. Through his hoarse voice, George communicated that he had taken many bottles of my medications-- with the intention of taking his life. (He later told me he was surprised that he lived with how many pills he took.) After comforting and consoling George, I had him tell me the exact medications that he took and where he got them from so I knew he was not hallucinating again from the IV medication. I stuffed the absolute and complete shock on a shelf and did one of the hardest things I have ever had to do. George's parents had not heard him over the noise of the ICU room. I touched his father's shoulder, leaned in close to his ear and told him a sentence summary of what George had just told me. I could not look at his father's face which was already distraught because I knew I would not be able to continue to hold it together. I walked to the nurses' station and told them what George had said. I was present as the nurses asked George what medications he had taken and the amount (none had shown up on blood tests as they hadn't tested for those specific medications). Many many health professionals have said that George should not have survived or be even functioning in the way he is with the amount of medication he took. His neurologist said on a follow-up visit in April 2013, "Someone up there must like you. You dodged a bullet."
My parents were still at lunch and I stood just outside the glass sliding doors of his ICU room trying to keep strong until the ICU nurse put her hand on my shoulder and asked if I was okay. That was the straw, and I couldn't keep the tears back. I was in shock. She handed me a Kleenex box and directed me to the waiting area. I stood in the hallway where I could get cell reception, my face planted into the wall sobbing and called my parents, who were speechless.
After George was stabilized in the ICU, he was admitted to a psychiatric hospital for five days. He was diagnosed with severe depression. I have never experienced true "shock" in my life. My parents and a couple of dear friends, especially one who talked to me in the middle of the night, held me together. I thought I would melt into the floor with agony of knowing that my husband had been so severely depressed. When George was still in the coma and the doctors did not know what was happening, I was repeatedly asked if there was a possibility he had attempted suicide. I was emphatic that it was not something George would do and no way could that be what happened. I actually lost my cool when one doctor asked about it--after a few others had. I had told my closest friend that I would die of shock if he had attempted suicide. I did not die, but it was devastating. Being such an intuitive person, I did not even have a clue he was depressed, much less capable of attempting to and almost succeeding in taking his own life.
Though I am not the reason George attempted, I do carry a heavy burden on my heart of guilt because my chronic illnesses over the years took an emotional toll and contributed to his depression. Though, as I discovered, sometimes we can do everything possible to help and encourage our partner and it is to no avail, people with chronic illness should realize that their suffering is their loved ones' suffering and we all need support.
As both George and I take many medications for our chronic conditions, I have them locked in safes--five. I think this is a good idea in general if you have children or other people visiting your house to keep your medications in a safe locked place (especially if you get 90 day supplies like we have had to). I dose out the medication in the house (even to the dogs), but this is mostly because of my PTSD/anxiety issues as George is not a suicide risk at this time.
When George attempted, I could not find anything online about how to cope when your loved one attempts suicide. It is a very complicated issue with complicated feelings. Among the few people that knew of George's attempt, I had some people that thought I should suck it up and move forward. But, healing is a process for both George and myself. It is not something to be rushed and it is something that will take time. We have a long road ahead of us, but it is full of hope and full of joy that we choose each day. And we shrug off the expectations anyone places on us to do or to be anything other than ourselves and how we are in the moment.
George's attempt was not a "cry for help", it was an intention of a psychologically broken man to end his life because he did not have coping skills. Suicide or an attempt takes a huge toll on the people who love that person. I write this for those who have walked the path we have. It is a horrible path to walk. A big thing that I learned is that it is best NOT to avoid talking about the attempt or the situation around it. The person may initially feel guilt or shame and if you ignore it, they may feel worse about themselves or wonder what you think of them. What they need is love, support, acceptance and the knowledge that you are there to listen if they want/need to talk and understand if they don't. Saying "the past is in the past" or ignoring the attempt is not healthy for anyone. The important goal is to grow together through the pain and to a better place. George currently sees an excellent therapist weekly, sees a psychiatrist regularly and is on daily medication.
("Complete" not "Commit" suicide is the appropriate term by the way. "Commit" infers judgment and it is the family, not the individual, who have to carry that label once someone has taken their life.)

Cynthia J Eppers Pensacola, Florida I bought a female Mealy Amazon from Irena. The bird was healthy and well-adjusted. Since I lived about seven hours away Irena met me halfway. Before meeting her she had given me answers to all my questions online; she was informative in person too. 7/15/2017 6:04:43 PM
Gayla Crawford Crestview, Florida Irena was kind and very informative about the caiuqes and other birds that she has. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a feather friend. 9/5/2015 5:06:05 AM

Thank you Gayla, I appreciate it so much, feel free to call me if you have any questions or any way I can help.
Carol Vinemont, AL I have purchased a Wonderful Ringneck from this breeder. I love the fact that this bird is bred at her farm and not bought from Shows and Strangers like most of the Bird Shops/Flea Market Venders in my area. Irena is not a liar and she tells you what you are getting. She sells Wonderful Sweet Pet birds and I would Proudly Buy from Her Again! This is A 5 Star Breeder! 4/16/2012 6:25:17 PM

Malayalam full movie Mookkilla Raajyathu
Mookkilla Raajyathu (1991) is a malayalam comedy family movie. Starring Mukesh ,Sidhique ,Thilakan ,Jagathy Sreekumar ,Vinaya Prasad ,Hakkeem Rawuther ,Oduvil Unnikrishnan ,Mala Aravindan ,Philomina ,Suchithra ,Paravoor Bharathan ,NL Balakrishnan ,Jagadeesh ,Kunchan ,Kuthiravattam Pappu ,Rajan P Dev & others.Movie "Mookkilla Raajyathu" Directed by Ashokan ,Thaha. The central idea if this movie is about the personal life of four mentally dislodged people. Their there whereabouts and problem are screened with the colours of humour.
Most people who experience mental health problems recover fully, or are able to live with and manage them, especially if they get help early on.But even though so many people are affected, there is a strong social stigma attached to mental ill health, and people with mental health problems can experience discrimination in all aspects of their lives.Many people's problems are made worse by the stigma and discrimination they experience from society, but also from families, friends and employers.
Nearly nine out of ten people with mental health problems say that stigma and discrimination have a negative effect on their lives.This is because society in general has stereotyped views about mental illness and how it affects people. Many people believe that people with mental ill health are violent and dangerous, when in fact they are more at risk of being attacked or harming themselves than harming other people.
Stigma and discrimination can also worsen someone's mental health problems, and delay or impede their getting help and treatment, and their recovery. Social isolation, poor housing, unemployment and poverty are all linked to mental ill health. So stigma and discrimination can trap people in a cycle of illness.
Anyway in this Jagathy Sreekumar movie the picture is totaly absured. Here the four so called patients gets good care and consideration from society. The central story is, Krishnankutty, Benny, Keshavan & Venu who are the metal patients in Kaakkanad mental hospital, reads a news about the visit of Bollywood actor Amithabh Bachan in cochin city. They tactically skipps of the security Kuttappan. And takes a passenger bus to Cochin. But they's read the news paper which was one month old. They plan to go back in the morning and slept nearby road side. But when they wake up, they realized that Venu was missing.
So they decided to to look for him and to go back with along with him. This is the starting thread of the Jagathy Sreekumar movie. Meanwhile Benny met his old crush Mini. On the other hand Balan, who is Venu's big brother goes to hospital and threatens the authorities. They send Kuttappan along with him to find Venu. Finally they found Venu in a music troop before his brother. They decides to stay in the city by doing job. Since Keshavan was an ex-military he got a job as a secuirty staff. Benny was a pinter so he took small wall paintings. Krishnankutty joined with his friend's work shop of automobiles. They took a house for rental and started to live more peacefull.
You may find many funny incidents throughout, like Benny's amnesia, funny incidents of Keshu, Krishnankutty & venu etc. One day two unepected and uninvited guests came to their house Sundaranpilla & Girish Puri, they mentioned themselves as tele-serial producer and Director, but actually they were criminals. One was Thorappan Vasu and the other was Irumb Abdullah and silent partner Bruno. Their intention was to rob the bank nearby by digging a tunnel from their car shed. So they put up a tele-serial production. They tactically rid off them from house and being sent to practice dance and martial arts.
Mean while they started the 'Job'. On the other hand Mini's father not interested with her affiar with Benny. So send some criminals to finish him off. Now the movie stretches to the climax. What may happen to Benny? Will Vasu & Abdulla rob the bank? And in final will the Four be caught? find out, watch this funny full movie "Mookkillaa Raajyathu".

From High School to Community College--A Vital Link in the Articulation Process.
Kintzer, Frederick C.
Junior College Research Review, v6 n10 June 1972
To provide for the needs of student groups such as high school and college dropouts, adults wanting further education, students needing remedial education, and high school students taking college classes, communication between community colleges and high schools is essential. It is recommended that a team relationship be developed between high schools and community colleges to prevent duplication of programs and provide effective service to the community; counseling is at the heart of the process. Several programs which demonstrate such cooperation are reviewed, including concurrent enrollment programs, newsletters sent to high school counselors, subject area conferences, high school advisory committees, and joint workshops of high school and college counselors and admissions staff. Washington and California have encouraged communication by creating state councils and holding statewide conferences on articulation. Regional planning is also possible; the efforts of the Los Angeles Community College District Area Articulation Committee and regional accrediting agencies are cited as examples. (LP)

Press release
Wales at forefront of new plans to create 5,000 modern prison places
Alun Cairns: New prison will bring economic opportunities to South Wales
- Justice Secretary unveils plans for new modern prison in Port Talbot;
- New build to create hundreds of local jobs and turbo-boost regional economy;
- Builds on the Government's commitment to create up to 10,000 modern places, aimed at reducing overcrowding and creating the right conditions for reform.
Prisons Minister Sam Gyimah has today unveiled plans for the building of a new prison in South Wales – creating hundreds of modern prison places and replacing old and overcrowded establishments with new, fit for purpose buildings.
Port Talbot has been earmarked for a new development as part of the Government's commitment to build up to 10,000 modern prison places by 2020, backed by £1.3bn to transform the estate.
As well as creating a modern establishments fit for the twenty-first century, the proposed new build will also act as a boost to the Welsh economy – creating hundreds of jobs in the construction and manufacturing industries, and generating countless opportunities for thriving community businesses.
Final decisions on the new prison will be subject to planning approvals, as well as value for money and affordability.
Prisons Minister Sam Gyimah said:
We cannot hope to reduce reoffending until we build prisons that are places of reform where hard-work and self-improvement flourish.
Outdated prisons, with dark corridors and cramped conditions, will not help offenders turn their back on crime – nor do they provide our professional and dedicated prison officers with the right tools or environment to do their job effectively.
This significant building programme will not only help create a modern prison estate where wholescale reform can truly take root, but will also provide a thriving, economic lifeline for the local community – creating hundreds of jobs for local people and maximising opportunities for businesses.
Today's announcement comes weeks after the opening of HMP Berwyn – the new, modern prison in north Wales which will hold over two thousand prisoners. The construction of this new prison has already contributed over £100m to the local economy and created around 150 jobs and apprenticeships before doors have even opened.
Secretary of State for Wales Alun Cairns said:
I am delighted that Port Talbot has been selected as a preferred location for one of the four newest additions to the UK's prisons estate.
Berwyn prison has already had a positive impact on the regional economy of North Wales. A new South Wales prison will bring its own economic opportunities - including new jobs and contracts for local suppliers, and will significantly accelerate the government's aim of replacing old, uneconomic prisons with modern, more cost-effective facilities.
I am pleased that Wales is leading the way in providing facilities designed with rehabilitation in mind as well as the traditional security which the public rightly expects.
In creating a modern prison estate, old and inefficient prisons will be closed and replaced by the new accommodation. A programme of valuation work will now begin to help inform further decisions about the estate. Announcements on prison closures will be made later in the year.
Today's announcement builds on ambitious reforms to improve safety in prisons, including an additional £100m to bolster frontline staff by 2,500.
What could a career in the prison service offer you? Visit the prison and probation jobs website to find out more and apply.
This wholescale, organisational reform will be supported by measures within the Prisons and Court Bill, which will set out a new framework and clear system of accountability for prisons, building on the wide-ranging reforms set out in the Prison Safety and Reform White Paper.
Notes to Editor:
- We will be applying for outline planning permission for new prisons in Yorkshire, the North West, Kent and South Wales.

Retirement Plans
Compass Consulting offers several retirement plans for employees as well as business owners.
Here's a brief overview of the features and advantages of some of the most popular programs:
- 401(k) Plans
- Profit Sharing Plans
401(k) Plans
401(k) plans can be a powerful tool in promoting financial security in retirement. Corporations, Subchapter S corporations, partnerships, sole proprietorships, and self-employed individuals are all eligible to establish these retirement savings plans. They are a valuable option for businesses considering a retirement plan, and provide benefits for employees and their employers.
Employers start a 401(k) for a host of reasons.
Your Compass consultant can handle all the complexities of designing a 401(k) plan for your business, including selecting the plan administrator, platform, and investment choices.
Profit-sharing Plans
These plans reward employees by giving them a percentage of what the business has earned that year. Employers fund the plan by contributing a portion of the company's pre-tax profits, which are distributed annually to eligible employees.
By giving workers a stake in the company's profitability, these flexible plans can inspire improvements in productivity and growth.
Many advantages include:
Retirement Audits
Are you sure you are doing the best possible job as a plan fiduciary? By shopping the market and choosing 401(k) providers with a diverse investment selection, companies often believe they have met fiduciary requirements. Today, however, more and more scrutiny is placed on the fees charged to plan participants:
Many companies offer 401(k) plans that are bundled within insurance group annuities. As a result, it becomes difficult to determine how much is actually being paid in fees and how reasonable they are. Compass will provide you with the knowledge you need to safeguard your employees' assets and help them realize their goal of a financially secure retirement.
Our retirement plan audits help clients understand their plan and its underlying fees. Our experts will guide you through the maze of investment choices, complicated fee structures, and fiduciary requirements. We'll work with you to ensure that your firm correctly fulfills all its fiduciary obligations, recommend strategies to improve returns, and control fees within a structure that's clear and easy to understand.
Let our experienced consultants help you design a plan that's right for your business. To learn more, please contact us today.

As (former) long time Union Square residents, Union Square Cafe holds a special place in the hearts of the Pants. Union Square Cafe and its iconic sign were synonymous with the neighborhood of its origin, it's vibe so effortlessly low- key, that the exceptional service and high-quality food were a comforting surprise. The closure of Union Square Cafe served as the face of an increasingly greedy New York City real estate scene, the most high-profile retaurant to be forced from its home due to ballooning rents. It seemed as though the closure of Union Square Cafe marked the end of an era, but the re-opening of the restaurant on Park Avenue South meant that the loss of the original location was merely a semi-colon in its story, rather than the period.
The original USC space was awkward and the menu never quite able to be defined (my best guess was greenmarket to table with Italian influences), and don't get me started on the ladies' room, but Union Square Cafe, year after year, held the hearts of New Yorkers. The new space, on Park Avenue and 19th Street, deftly pays homage to the design of the original, but on a larger scale. The room features a welcoming bar you when you walk in, which is still an ideal place to dine; a large multi-tiered mezzanine level including some pub-like booths, and even a private dining room.
Service is the hallmark of a Union Square Hospitality restaurant, and every time I visited it improved, as I am confident it will continue to do. Management is always present and able to swoop in and correct any missteps or oversights by servers. The main gripe of my dining companions is the size of the pours from the bar- both wine and martinis were strictly served at an ounce /ounce and a half, a little less than generous for the thirsty.
But now, the food. Every time I went I tried new items (two lunches, one dinner), and everything was delicious. Below, a run-down of the food:
Cauliflower Sformato with Romanesco and Black Truffle Fonduto- a whipped, decadent starter, very creamy and unique in texture, and deep in flavor. If you don't think about it, you might forget there are vegetables in it…
Fried Calamari- fairly straightforward, non- greasy, lightly breaded lovely rings of calamari.
Bibb and Red Oak Leaf Lettuces- a light, bright way to get your greens in without filling up too much. In contrast, the chicken salad we ordered for lunch one day was too salty to eat, oops.
USC Burger- A staple of the USC menu, this burger is straightforward and perfectly executed. The high-quality ingredients make the difference- springy, moist brioche, substantial, thick-cut bacon and Beecher's Flagship cheddar all bring significant taste without making the flavor of the meat.
Ricotta Gnocchi- Another classic dish, perfectly executed; the gnocchi are large and extremely light and fluffy, and the sauce has the necessary acid to make it pop…pillows of heaven.
Rigatoni with Carrots, Fresno Chiles, Scallion, Greek Yogurt and Pancetta- the texture of the rigatoni is perfect for soaking up the sauce, and the yogurt adds a bit of tang; people love this dish, but for some reason I just can't really get into it.
Torelloni in brodo- I die for this dish, it makes me feel comforted and happy. The tortelloni are dense and full of flavor, and the broth feels like it can heal you. My suggestion is to have this dish as your main course for lunch (with a starter) or as a starter for dinner if you are not having pasta as a main course. I crave this…
Lasagna- La la la layers of amazingness!
I also recommend the fagioli as a side dish. To be honest I don't remember any of the desserts that I had on any visit, but I am quite confident anyone can find an option to properly scratch that itch.
Union Square Cafe is firmly back on the NYC dining scene and rightfully resuming where it left off. The quirkiness and nostalgia factor has been replaced by a more shiny, well-rounded version of itself, but in some ways it is like it never left.
N.B. Reservations are available through Resy, but my suggestion is to pick up the phone and call, it is more efficient as to getting prime times.

During the children's twelve-day stay at Stewart House, children are provided with medical, dental and optometric assessment and treatment. For children requiring additional support counselling is available. This is balanced with health and education programs and out of school activities to boost their self-esteem and promote better physical and mental health. These services are provided free of charge to nearly two thousand children a year who attend this unique facility.
Health and Wellbeing
The health and wellbeing team at Stewart House includes our Student Wellbeing Manager (Clinical Psychologist), Health Liaison Officer, Student Placements Officer and our Wellbeing Liaison Officer who support the children's wellbeing during their stay. We also have a registered nurse position funded through the Northern Sydney Local Heath District of NSW Department of Health. The nurse's role is to perform hearing screening, asthma check, personal hygiene and dietary education for the visiting children whose parents/carers have given permission. If any concerns are identified, a report will be sent home to the parent/carer outlining any treatments that occurred as well as any recommendations for further care.
Children may also receive a referral to Go4Fun. Go4Fun is a free healthy lifestyle program for children aged 7-13 years with a focus on healthy eating and getting active.
The Northern Sydney Local Health District (NSLHD) Aboriginal Health Service (Bungee Bidgel Aboriginal Health Clinic) conducts health screenings with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children at Stewart House. Children who are identified as needing further health screening or treatment are then referred to health care service providers in the child's Local Health District. Bungee Bidgel Staff support healthy development and positive social and emotional wellbeing of all young people and children.
During their twelve-day stay children also have the opportunity to receive a free dental assessment and a dental health education program. The Dental Team at Stewart House is funded through Northern Sydney Local Heath District of NSW Department of Health.
If children require emergency care or pain relief they are treated at Mona Vale Dental Clinic after further conversation with parents and carers.
The School of Optometry and Vision Science at the University of NSW continue to provide vision assessment for all children visiting Stewart House. Final year students conduct the screenings. Staff optometrists of the University of NSW assist the students by providing guidance and supervision. The optometric assessment provides a thorough and comprehensive visual examination including measurement of the children's acuity, determination of any refractive error, assessment of how well the eyes work and move together, a test of colour and vision and eye health examination. Where the assessment reveals that a child has a visual problem a letter is sent home to parents and carers suggesting an appropriate course of action. The children may be in need of a pair of glasses, it may be guidance for eye exercises to improve the way eyes work together, colour vision treatment or a program for general improvement in eye health.
Teachers Health Fund provide glasses or new lenses for the children as required.
Children receive a hearing check at Stewart House by Nurses employed by the NSW Department of Health. Identified children who need further testing are taken to Macquarie University for advanced audiology.

More international news in brief
Spasm of violence in Kashmir worst in years
DHAMALA HAKIMWALA, Pakistan (AP): Iram Shazadi was making breakfast for her family when bullets started whizzing through her dusty Pakistani village just a half-kilometre from the Indian-controlled area of disputed Kashmir.
Then a mortar shell fired by Indian forces slammed into her home, killing her two young sons and her husband's mother in the worst spasm of violence in the tense Himalayan region in years. So far, 19 people - 11 on the Pakistani side, eight on the Indian - have died over the past week. Dozens have been injured, and tens of thousands have fled their homes.
"I lost my whole world," Shazadi said Wednesday while recovering from injuries at a military hospital. She sat crying next to her six-year-old son, who narrowly escaped the blast.
Although minor skirmishes in the tense, rocky region are common, the fierce trading of mortar shells and gunfire that began Sunday night marks the most serious violation of a 2003 cease-fire accord brokered between India and Pakistan. Adding to the sense of shock was that the fighting erupted during the Muslim festival of Eid al-Adha, which families normally celebrate with roast goat and parties.
Off-duty officer kills man who fired on him
ST LOUIS (AP): An off-duty police officer fatally shot an 18-year-old man who opened fire during a chase in south St Louis, sparking loud protests in the area, police said Thursday.
St Louis police chief, Colonel Sam Dotson said the 32-year-old officer was patrolling the Shaw neighbourhood for a private security company late Wednesday when the shooting happened.
The officer said three men in the street ran away when they spotted him, Dotson told reporters at a news conference early Thursday.
Lawmakers weigh breaking up Secret Service, yanking it from Homeland Security Department
WASHINGTON (AP): Key members of Congress are weighing dramatic changes to the embattled Secret Service, including moving it out of the Homeland Security Department and breaking up its mission.
The proposals come as lawmakers assess how to improve the agency after a series of scandals, including a White House break-in by a man with a knife last month. The agency's director, Julia Pierson, resigned amid the controversy, but lawmakers are promising they'll continue their focus once Congress reconvenes after the November 4 midterm elections.
One suggestion is to move the Secret Service back into the Treasury Department, where it resided for decades until the creation of the Homeland Security Department following the September 11, 2001, terror attacks.
"Looking at the positioning of the agency, whether it should be in Treasury or be in Homeland Security, is one issue that must be taken up" as part of an independent review, said Rep. Elijah Cummings of Maryland, top Democrat on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, which hosted Pierson at a hearing last week prior to her resignation.
A top committee Republican, Rep. Jason Chaffetz of Utah, said, "I haven't heard anyone make a strong case that it really is working the right way" within Homeland Security.

Diarrhea often attacks dogs, due to eating habits, chewing and licking everything that is encountered. If left untreated, diarrhea can be a serious illness.There are many causes of dog diarrhea. One of the most common causes is food. Hobbies dogs who like to bite often make it bite any objects that are around including dangerous objects. So it causes indigestion. In addition there are customs of some types of dogs that find food from the outside or from the trash. It is very important for dog owner to do the first aid for dog diarrhea treatment, before send it to the vets or pet care.
Signs of dog diarrhea are frequent bowel movements just like humans, the stools become very soft to fluid, sometimes accompanied by blood and or mucus, and looking lethargic and lying more, this situation will get worse if left alone. Then, the first aid for dog diarrhea treatment such follows. Give coconut water to clean the bowels. A few minutes after drinking coconut water, the dog will vomit and some poison in his body will come out.When diarrhea many liquids are wasted. Return the liquid back into the dog by giving the oralitic fluid, do it bit by bit but often. Or mix a spoonful of sugar with a little salt in a glass of warm water. Blend with a spoon.
Next dog diarrhea treatment, do not feed or fast for 24 hours if the animal is mature. However, if still a fasting pantry is 12 hours.Give neutral food and do not irritate digestion, such as boiled chicken or tuna stew that is blended. Can also be given boiled chicken egg yolk. There are also special foods for diarrhea dogs sold in pet shops.Place the animals in separate places with clean, dry and warm conditions.Anti-diarrhea drugs may also be given. Pay attention to the dose given.If within 24 hours after first aid, the condition of the dog does not improve, immediately take it to the veterinarian. Further special measures may be required, such as infusions to return excess fluids.

Genre: Fantasy
Synopsis: 1800's daughter of overbearing Father develops Extraordinary Scorcher talent (ability to create and snuff out flames). Given the choice between marrying a wealthy creep or living with her parents forever she chooses a third option; the Royal Navy.
Rating: 3/5
This book was provided in exchange for an honest review. My thanks go to Melissa McShane, Curiosity Quills Press and Netgalley for the opportunity.
There are times in which a book leaves me at a loss as to how to review it. This could be because a book is incredibly good, or incredibly bad. It can also be when a book is, extraordinarily, both. In this case, Burning Bright manages to somehow achieve the latter of those three things.
One moment, I would be reading at what felt like a snail's pace, wondering how much closer to the end each page would bring me. All of a sudden, a well written character interaction or a sizzling action scene would cut in and my attention would be captured, pages flashing by. Then, all too soon, the plodding returned.
In the end, I think it all comes down to pacing and length. Burning Bright is a good fifty pages too long and there are times when it shows. Often the added padding is unnecessary and the over-arching plot isn't all that engaging. However it's saved by some vibrant writing and some good characters (however there are a fair few interchangeable side characters which could have been done without).
Overall, this is a good concept and there are parts which are very well executed. However if you persevere with the whole, then it's ultimately worth the effort.

What is critical illness Insurance?
Critical illness cover is a term you will often come across when you search for a trauma policy. The reason for this is that critical illness insurance cover and trauma insurance are synonymous terms!
Both serious illness and trauma imply that a person is suffering from a severe health / medical problem i.e. they cover the same diseases e.g. cancer, heart conditions, stroke etc., hence major illness insurance companies arbitrarily attach one of these designations to their policies.
Whereas some critical health policies companies advertise their policies with either one of the two labels, you may also find that many serious illness insurance companies use these labels interchangeably. If you aren't familiar with this fact, you may end up with the assumption that there is a difference between critical illness insurance and trauma cover, when there isn't any.
Others types of critical health cover
Here are some other types of policies that you should know about. You can combine them with trauma cover to expand your risk coverage:
- Life cover: Trauma insurance doesn't have to be a standalone purchase. You can combine life insurance and critical illness cover for maximum protection against all kinds of uncertainties. With the life cover, you can provide your family with means of sustenance after you have died – or even when you have been diagnosed with a terminal illness, leading to death within the year. With the critical health cover you'll be making sure that even if you get really sick for a shorter duration of time, your family will be paid for as you get better. Basically, you're making sure that your family's future is secure when you're not around – be it permanent or temporary.
- Joint life insurance: Joint life insurance has exactly the same benefits as normal life insurance, but it provides cover for two lives instead of one i.e. when one of the two people who signed up for it dies, the survivor gets the benefits of the policy. Note that the survivor is left with no insurance of their own. Two single life insurance policies will provide better protection, but will also cost more. When taking out joint insurance, keep in mind the fact that there could be trouble in splitting up the policy in case you have a falling out with your partner, so you should never rush into a decision regarding this policy.
- Accident and sickness insurance: This is a combination of policies: whereas simple accident insurance provides coverage for an unexpected accident that isn't covered by your major medical insurance (in terms of hospitalization costs, emergency room care, outpatient recovery), sickness and accident insurance cover both unexpected accidents and sicknesses listed in the policy. This policy is recommended for those who plan to take a costly capitalistic venture in the future that could stretch their finances to the limit, making them otherwise unable to cope with surprise incidents that aren't covered by their primary health insurance.
- Total and permanent disability insurance: Also known as TPD, this policy provides you with a lump sum benefit if you receive a medical diagnosis that makes you unable to work again. The benefit amount is usually used for paying debts and ongoing living costs that were previously paid through your salary – since you can't work, you're unable to get the said salary anymore, and hence unable to support your lifestyle.
TPD is divided into three categories:
- Own occupation TPD – you're not able to work in your own field anymore.
- Any occupation TPD – you are permanently unable to work in your own field and also in all other fields through training, education or experience.
- Non-occupational TPD – you are unable to perform two out of five daily living activities.
In general, the own occupation TPD variety is considered to be the one which gives the maximum level of protection whereas the non-occupational TPD provides the least. In other words, the former requires the least amount of disablement while the latter requires the most.
You can own and pay for a TPD policy using superannuation accounts – but this typically makes the policy 'any occupation' (as per the superannuation law which is based on 'any occupation') and the benefit taxable at the time of payment. Compared to this, a personal TPD will not be tax deductible and its benefits will not be taxed either.
You can insure a maximum of around 3-5 million AUD as TPB coverage but it will require the scrutiny of your past times, family history, medical history and unusual occupational risk factors. Anything that makes you more of a liability for the provider will cause your premium to increase.
Also note that, for larger claims, extra medical tests/checkups will be required before the claim is approved.
There is a general misconception that trauma cover has made TPD cover totally redundant, but there are, in fact, medical conditions which aren't covered under critical health policies that TPD does cover:
- central nervous system;
- emotional disorders: depression, psychoses and PTS;
- chronic brain syndromes;
- musculoskeletal disorders: rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis and chronic overuse syndrome;
- cardiovascular disorders: congenital heart problems, hypertension plus peripheral vascular disorders;
- gastrointestinal problems: ulcerative colitis;
- ear and eye disorders: retinal detachment and labyrinthitis;
- respiratory disorders;
- endocrine disorders: diabetes; and
- emphysema and pulmonary fibrosis.
There are also insured events under critical health insurance that would make you 'totally and permanently disabled' from your occupation as well as other occupations, before you have even satisfied the particular critical health insurance definition!
Simply put, you would be at a risk, without any protection, while your insurance company assesses the validity of your claim. The company may reject your claim that could have been covered by a TPD policy.
The optimum way to provide maximum protection to your family is to purchase a TPD policy in conjunction with a trauma policy. It will usually increase your net premium cost by around 11%, but in return, you will have covered up a gap in your risk protection that could have created distress for you and your family.
In short, if you think of trauma cover is your backup coverage, you can think of TPD insurance as the backup for your backup coverage!
How to decide how much cover you and your partner need
As a couple looking to buy traumatic cover, you'll need to keep several factors in mind, the reason being that trauma insurance is a commodity whose adequacy is dependent entirely on the circumstances of the policy buyer. In other words, you will have to assess the present status of your family, finances and property before you decide how much trauma insurance you require.
This can be tricky for most people, so the best route to take is hiring a financial advisor – it will cost you extra cash, but it is a small price to pay in return for ascertaining the optimum amount of coverage for you and your family.
Factors to consider:
|Your present and future (expected) amount of income
|Even if you have a steady source of income in the foreseeable future, you may need to abandon your job/business due to health reasons. In such a case, you'll need trauma insurance whose benefit matches your income (and hence, indirectly, your lifestyle requirements). This is why you need to purchase a policy that will sustain your present way of life.
|Debts that you might hold in the future
|Once again, debts can be a significant burden on any household and paying them, even with a job, can be quite a bother for many. If you become medically unfit for work, your trauma insurance will need to be sufficient for paying off your debts and financing your treatment. For this reason, you will have to make a reasonably accurate estimation of the debts you might need to take at various stages in the future.
|Your family make up
|Trauma insurance is all about providing your loved ones with enough money to live stress free, while you recuperate from a major illness. To this end, it is vital that you assess the number of dependents of the policy and purchase a suitable one accordingly. As a couple, you will need to decide on the number of children you plan to have.
|Assets such as shares or property
|These assets essentially have the same purpose as traumatic insurance – they can be cashed in at a certain point in the future when you are in need of money due to unforeseeable circumstances. Therefore, the amount of trauma insurance you require may be lessened if you already own property or shares. Keep in mind however that these assets can be subject to depreciation as a result of fluctuations in the market i.e. they may be worth a lot today but might not amount to much, say, ten years from now, when you need them. On the other hand, trauma insurance will remain fixed in value, ready for use the moment the need arises.

Had a great stay at the Pullman Kuala Lumpur Bangsar over the past few days and I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone planning a trip to KL.
It's location is perfect (if you have a car) because it's about 15 minutes to Pavilion and 15 minutes to Bandar Utama, which is fantastic.
The rooms are great, well-designed and very, very clean. I also love the bathrooms – they have a nice tub and a separate shower cubicle with a rain shower. Every room also has an iPod/iPhone dock on the bedside table, which is a nice touch. Unfortunately, they are the older type and don't have a Lightning plug, which means anyone with an iPhone 5 onwards won't be able to use it. The wifi at the hotel is pretty fast (especially at night) so I was super happy with that.
The front office staff are incredibly friendly as are the staff in The Lounge. They really made me feel welcome and handled all of my requests quickly and efficiently. The daytime valets are also wonderful – special mention to Ganesh, who took good care of my car.
I like the pool at the Pullman, its very quiet and the deck chairs are very unique, comfy and made me want to lie there all day!
In terms of F&B at the hotel you must try the Tapastry menu at The Lounge (I highly recommend the Grilled Miso Cod @ RM8/USD2.50)
The only gripes I have about the hotel are:
1) Despite putting the "Do Not Disturb" card on the door outside my room, housekeeping insisted on ringing the fuck out of my doorbell every morning and when I didn't answer they proceeded to bang on the door. Not cool.
2) The valets working the night shift were not helpful at all and kept ordering me to go park in the carpark despite me explaining that I was already parking in front of the hotel during the daytime. When it's 4am and you're drunk/tired the last thing you want is a foreign worker telling you that you can't park in the space that was reserved for you.
3) The food at La Cucina was a huge disappointment. After the inspiring tapas served at The Lounge I wanted to try the Mediterranean cuisine at the adjoining restaurant but I was so let down. I ordered the Beef Shortrib w/ Pumpkin Gnocchi and the gnocchi was tougher than the beef and looked/tasted like a plastic pellet. As a self-proclaimed gnocchi aficionado, I was horrified. Do Not Eat.
Apart from those three things, the rest of my stay was perfect and I would like to thank Jagdish Pantlia, GM of the Ibis Styles KL, and Cindy Yeoh, hotel manager of the Pullman Kuala Lumpur Bangsar, for making all the arrangements for me and the staff of the Pullman for taking such good care of me over the weekend.
I'm now rested, recharged and ready to get back to work!

"Growing up as a minority in Saskatchewan, with my Nigerian culture deeply embedded I me, I never felt "Saskatchewaian" enough … I would never be "Nigerian" enough either … It became apparent to me that I would be at my strongest when placing my identity in Christ."
A significant need in my life was to feel accepted, by nearly everyone in every circumstance, whether it was parents, teachers, profs, colleagues or friends. I often felt empty, lost and like I was chasing after the wind.
By the age of 5, I had lived in 4 different continents. Each with its distinct culture, characteristics, and values that I had to adjust and adapt to each time.
Growing up as a minority in Saskatchewan, with my Nigerian culture deeply embedded in me, I never felt "Saskatchewanian" enough for the lack of a better word. There was so much that identified with that was different than my surroundings. At the same time, having grown up in Saskatoon with my Canadian accent, it was evident to me that for the Nigerian community I grew up with I would never be "Nigerian" enough either.
As I matured in my faith, by spending more time with Jesus, it became apparent to me that I would be at my strongest when placing my identity in Christ. In Heaven, that is the only identity that will truly matter. Through Jesus' death and resurrection, he made a LOVE statement of how much he valued me. His word tells who he says I am, and I am at home in his love.
With this new found GODfidence (Jer.17:7), it became to shape my world and lead me to healthier, more supportive relationships with people who helped me to see myself the way He sees me.

So I woke up today, and heard the weather forecast; more snow! Accumulation is predicted for up to a foot! Will this winter ever end! Then I realized today is my birthday, and to make matters worse, it's the last number in this particular decade. Need I say more? So to raise my spirits, I thought of Mom, who used to always say, "Any birthday on this side of the grass is better than the alternative. "
To celebrate being on this side of the grass, I put aside my responsibilities and decided to play. I powered up the old laptop, opened Movie Maker and tried my hand at enhancing one of the helmet cam videos from last summer.
If you're sick of winter too, watch this video for a 2 minute and 5 second escape. Enjoy!

A new app will let you hear your baby's heartbeat whenever you want. Here's how the amazing technology works.
If you've ever found yourself going about your daily routine and desperately wishing you could hear your baby's heartbeat, you'll want to download this app. Nothing can compare to that moment when you first hear that heartbeat at your doctor's office, but getting a replay whenever you want is pretty darned priceless.
The Shell app comes from Bellabeat, a startup that aims to help women lead their healthiest lives. "We are excited to announce the arrival of our newest member to the Bellabeat family of products, Shell – Baby's First Heartbeat Listener. Shell enables expectant parents to hear their baby's heartbeat in a natural and non-invasive manner, similar to placing your ear on the belly and turning the volume up," Bellabeat wrote in a blog post.
We are so excited to announce the arrival of our newest member to the Bellabeat family of products! 🙌🏼 Meet @shellbybellabeat, baby's first heartbeat listener. 💙 Shell allows you to safely listen to your baby's heartbeat, record it and share it with your loved ones.💫The app works as a stand alone too and is FREE to download on App Store 📱so tag your expectant friends in the comments below so they don't miss out! Link in bio to get all the details!
The app works in conjunction with an add-on you'll have to purchase for your phone in order to capture a baby's heartbeat. Once you've attached the add-on (which looks really compact and convenient, based on photos the company has shared) to the base of your phone, all you have to do is place the phone on your belly and let the technology do its thing. How easy is that? The app and the add-on filter out ambient noise to help make the sound of the baby's heartbeat really pop. The brand compares this to the effect you experience when you hold a seashell to your ear, which might explain why they chose to name the app "Shell."
Bellabeat's team stresses that this is not a medical device, so if something seems amiss (or the heartbeat doesn't seem to come through,) don't fret! Instead, go see your doctor to make sure everything is as it should be.
You can do more than just hear your baby's heartbeat with Shell's app, which can really function as a standalone product: The app also lets you record and share tracks with your friends and family—it even gives you tutorials on fetal heart positions. Interested? You can download the app for free right here—if you like what you see, the add-on is currently sold out, but you can add your name to a waiting list and be notified when it's available again.
