India is the largest sugar producer in the world and it leads in sugarcane production. However, if alternative sweeteners such as khandsari (sort of raw sugar) and gur (jaggery) are included in the fold, then India would be the largest overall producer of sugar. Brazil accounts for approximately 22 percent of the global sugar production and India contributes almost 14 percent.
As may be seen from the list above, sugar production is practised all across India. However, the peninsular region has been a better performer than the north Indian states and there has also been a gradual shift from north to south for the sugar industry. One of the major reasons is the better conditions available for cultivation in the peninsular part. The sugar industry in India is also highly localized owing to problems in transporting sugarcane.
Manufacturing Process of Sugar in India
- Boiling the juice to obtain crystals
- Creating raw sugar by spinning crystals in extractors
- Taking raw sugar to a refinery for the process of filtering and washing to discard remaining non-sugar elements and hue
- Crystallizing and drying sugar
- Packaging the ready sugar

The Stillness Before the Start
An Enemies to Lovers/Opposites Attract Teen Romance
I'm Harper Reed. The valedictorian. The scholarship kid. The girl next door. The obsessive planner.
I have big dreams and secrets, but against my better judgment, Dylan Archer is the one I confide in.
He's the rich kid with the world at his fingertips. The sworn enemy of my best friend. The one who hides behind an arrogant smirk. The track star who wants to run away from reality.
We're not in the same social circles or even capable of being friends, but when he asks for my help, I agree without considering the consequences. It's a reckless decision that has the potential to start something neither one of us can stop.

Listen to the same "French Indie" playlist as Harper...
N. N. Light's Bookhaven: "If you're a fan of young adult, you'll love The Stillness Before the Start. If you want to relive your senior year in high school, you'll be captivated by this story. A brilliant modern coming of age story, The Stillness Before the Start is a must-read. Highly recommend!"
Lumosthestars: ""This story had everything I love: witty banter, romance, and a little bit of an enemies to lovers plotline. The dialogue, especially between Dylan and Harper, was a shining star in this narrative--it was funny but it also illustrated the chemistry between the two."
Sacha Fortune: "This was a great young adult romance with all the feels. Harper is a character that many of us can connect with — down-to-earth, good girl, or as James terms it (much to her chagrin): "Innocent. Cute. Predictable." This was a good young adult romance that I enjoyed thoroughly, and I would highly recommend to other readers, particularly that target market."

Gosh, is that the time already? Apologies for my tardiness in posting today.
I've been to some interiors events that were so colourful and exciting that I think I fell down a paint and wallpaper-lined rabbit hole. Yesterday I heard about a new app being launched by @grahamandbrown which enables you to see what their wallpapers (like this one, bottom left) will look like in your room. Personally I think this is a great idea. When it comes to wallpaper, I sometimes find the 'perspective shift' needed to imagine how an A4 wallpaper sample is going to transpose into a real life 'I've got to actually live with this pattern' situation a tad tricky. Will the pattern look too big, or too small? Will it make your heart sing, or sink? It can be a leap of faith and it's easy to get it wrong (like me online over-ordering a bumper 48 loo rolls for our two-person household because I literally lost a sense of perspective). Great idea, guys. Now I just need a 'visualise your loo roll needs' app and my life will be complete.

Aims: Poverty kills children. This study assesses the relationship between poverty and child mortality rates (CMRs) in 71 societies from three world regions to determine whether some countries, relative to their region, neglect their children. Methods: Spearman rank order correlations were calculated to determine any association between the CMR and poverty data, including income inequality and gross national income. A current CMR one standard deviation (SD) above or below the regional average and a percentage change between 1988 and 2010 were used as the measures to assess the progress of nations. Results: There were positive significant correlations between higher CMRs and relative poverty measures in all three regions. In Western countries, the current CMRs in the USA, New Zealand and Canada were 1 SD below the Western mean. The narrowest income inequalities, apart from Japan, were seen in the Scandinavian nations alongside low CMRs. In Asia, the current CMRs in Pakistan, Myanmar and India were the highest in their region and were 1 SD below the regional mean. Alongside South Korea, these nations had the lowest percentage reductions in CMRs. In Sub-Saharan Africa, the current CMRs in Somalia, Burkina Faso, Sierra Leone, Chad, Democratic Republic of Congo and Angola were the highest in their region and were 1 SD below the regional mean. Conclusions: Those concerned with the pursuit of social justice need to alert their societies to the corrosive impact of poverty on child mortality. Progress in reducing CMRs provides an indication of how well nations are meeting the needs of their children. Further country-specific research is required to explain regional differences.

Ann DeRizzio lives in Lytham St Anne and has been training dogs since 1981.
She was lucky enough to go to Willesden and District canine club and her first dog trainer was a very young John Higgins - she was also lucky to have Joanna Hill as her trainer and mentor through the early 1980's and the start of her competitive career in dog obedience. It was with the help of Both John and Joanna that Ann was able to take her first obedience collie Merlin from beginners to Ch C obedience.
Ann went on to become the head trainer at the dog club in Willesden and started her own training class along side this in Sudbury in London.
Ann was the founding member of the Federation of Dog Trainers and Canine Behaviourists founded in 1987. Ann, alongside fellow Federations directors, went on to co-write the first ever dog training and behaviour related City and Guilds qualification Canine Studies. Ann was the lead external verifier for the course and also taught the course at Myerscough college. This qualification ran until 2008.
Whilst working on the Canine Studies qualification Ann began her career in the teaching profession - taking the City and Guilds in teaching qualification, gaining her Certificate in Education and then on to her degree in teaching and training.
Ann has delivered lectures on behaviour, training and particularly canine aggression all over the country and has also lectured and judged in Europe.
She competed in heelwork to music, canine freestyle and breed showing and is an international judge in both HTM, Freestyle and Obedience.

The 2018 MTV VMAs showed that the pop music industry is all about women this year, as the majority of the nominations and wins saw a large list of female talent. The award show took place at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. There were musical performances from artists like Nicki Minaj, Travis Scott, and Ariana Grande. All three artists recently released record breaking albums in the last few weeks and have made headlines around the world.
Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj also took home a couple of VMAs themselves. Ariana Grande won the award for best pop song with "No Tears Left To Cry." The single is off of her latest album Sweetener. She was also nominated for artist of the year and video of the year. Though both awards went to Camila Cabello. Nicki Minaj took home the award for best hip-hop song with "Chun Li." The song is one of the first singles off of her latest album, Queen, which was released just last week.
Big Wins At The VMAs
Other winners at the VMAs this year were Beyonce & Jay Z under the name of their new project, The Carters. The duo took home two VMAs for best art direction and best cinematography on a music video. They were nominated for best hip-hop, best collaboration, and best direction as well. Jennifer Lopez featuring DJ Khaled and Cardi B won the award for best collaboration with their single "Dinero." Childish Gambino won the award for best direction with his video for "This Is America." Which made headlines around the world upon its release.
Childish Gambino also took home a VMA for the best video with a message for his "This Is America" video. The video showed Childish Gambino dancing around a warehouse and depicted various hot-topic issues such as gun violence and racism in America. When the single was released back in May it gained a lot of notoriety. Critics have called Childish Gambino one of the most promising artists of our time. His steady rise to fame has been in part due to his ability to depict cultural issues in his art.
Historically Shocking
The VMAs mark one of the biggest nights in pop music next to the Grammys. They have made headlines for years in the antics that celebrities and artists put on during the show. In 2009 Kanye West famously interrupted Taylor Swift. When she won the award for video of the year for her single "You Belong With Me," Kanye said that Beyonce deserved to win the award over Taylor. Then in 2013 Miley Cyrus famously hosted the award show. She shocked audiences around the world with her drastic image change as she shed her disney-persona to twerk with Robin Thicke and a giant foam finger. To see a complete list of the 2018 nominees and winners at the VMAs check out this list.

Speleogenetic evidence from Ogof Draenen for a pre-Devensian glaciation in the Brecon Beacons, South Wales, UK
Farrant, Andrew R.; Smith, Christopher J.M.; Noble, Stephen R.; Simms, Michael J.; Richards, David A.. 2014 Speleogenetic evidence from Ogof Draenen for a pre-Devensian glaciation in the Brecon Beacons, South Wales, UK.

The British Isles have been affected by as many as 30 glaciations during the Quaternary. However, the evidence for pre-Devensian glaciations in upland regions is scarce. Understanding the extent and timing of earlier upland glaciations is essential for modelling the long-term evolution and sensitivity of the British Ice Sheet. Caves, being protected from surface erosion and weathering, can preserve evidence of earlier glaciations in the form of speleothem and sediment archives. The ∼70-km-long Ogof Draenen cave system in South Wales, UK, contains multiple cave levels related to changes in the surface topography and drainage during the past 0.5 Ma. The cave contains evidence of massive influxes of sediment that were sufficient to choke the cave and alter the underground drainage. Analysis of the cave sediments, passage morphology and geometry suggests the cave once acted as a subterranean glacial spill-way before being overridden by ice. Speleothem U-series data demonstrate that this sediment influx occurred before Marine Isotope State (MIS) 9, probably during the Anglian glaciation (MIS 12). Evidence from Ogof Draenen indicates the impact of subsequent glaciations on the landscape evolution of the region was minimal and that much of the surface topography dates from the Anglian.

Armed with a second FDA approval for its electron beam scanner and three times the sales force of a year ago, company officials at South San Francisco-based Imatron say that after years of trying to sell the medical community on its technology, they have
Armed with a second FDA approval for its electron beam scanner and three times the sales force of a year ago, company officials at South San Francisco-based Imatron say that after years of trying to sell the medical community on its technology, they have record sales to show for their efforts.
Imatrons earnings have slowly but steadily risen as the company has tried to keep ahead of the big multimodality vendors systems with its own CT scanner, which now has approval for lung scanning, as well as heart scanning.
The FDA cleared the lung scanning application of Imatrons EBT unit last month (SCAN 4/26/00).
Imatrons first-quarter 2000 revenue rose by 117% to $11.3 million compared to $5.2 million in the first quarter of 1999.
The company posted the highest profit in its history in 1999. Imatron made a revenue gain of $7 million over the previous year, netting $37.5 million compared to $30.7 million in 1998 (SCAN 3/1/00). About $7 million was from service contracts on the scanners, said Imatron spokesperson Robin Kelley.
This is a different story from a year ago, when Imatrons 1998 year-end revenue was down by 18% from the previous year. Imatron posted a loss of $14.8 million, compared with a net loss of $11.4 million in 1997 (SCAN 4/14/99).
Imatron CEO Lewis Meyer attributes the companys improved performance to several factors.
The company sold seven scanners in the first quarter of this year. In 1999, it sold 19 for the entire year.
In addition, this year the company has put nearly $1 million more into sales and marketing. Imatron used to have a sales force of five for domestic and international markets; it now has 16 salespeople.
Although Imatrons quarterly report claimed the company had its highest backlog in history, Meyer declined to be specific about the numbers.
We dont like to talk about numbers because a backlog is a moving target. It is changing, but it is changing for the better every day, he said. Our official word is we will sell at least 30 scanners this year, compared to 19 scanners in 1999. We also expect revenue to increase 50% over revenue in 1999.
So far, this improvement hasnt translated into record stock prices.
But that doesnt mean Imatron hasnt been selling stock. The FDA announced its approval for the electron beam angiography technology in November 1999.
When Imatron announced news of the FDA clearance for EBA Nov. 18, 65 million shares were traded and the price rose to $4.75 per share, said an Imatron spokesperson.
Over the last few years, Imatrons stock has fluctuated between $1 and $8 per share.
We obviously hope our accomplishments will translate into a higher stock price, Kelley said.
Meyer said his company is depending on the medical community to get the message out that its ultrafast CT scanner can detect coronary calcifications along with lung cancer. The FDA gave Imatron market clearance for electron beam angiography for low-dose, single-breath-hold lung scanning (SCAN 4/26/00).
As long as there are smokers, there will be a need for this technology, Meyer said. The survival rate in the first year for a person diagnosed with lung cancer is 12% to 15%. He sees Imatrons scanner as a way to push this figure up to 80%.
The medical community takes a long time to adopt a new paradigm. There must be some critical mass of peer-reviewed journal articles before people say, Aha, we have something, this is real. I would have thought we were beyond that three years ago. Its surprising to me that it took so long to get to where we are today, Meyer said.
Meyer refers to the mechanical CT systems offered by GE, Marconi, Siemens, and Hitachi as the poor mans effort in CT production and maintains Imatrons product is faster, records more accurate sweeps, and produces a better image.
As reported in its year-end 1999 report, Imatron sold 19 scanners that year as compared to 15 scanners in 1998.
CT market analyst Philip Drew said Imatron still has to prove its mettle to become more of an industry leader. Drew noted that although Imatron did improve sales, it doesnt mean the scanner is becoming a best seller in the industry. Also, the proof that a company is doing well sometimes comes in the form of imitation.
No one has copied or tried to take on their technology, he said.
Drew said Imatron did the right thing last year when it exited the service business by selling four of its HeartScan imaging centers.
They were smart to get out of the service business and concentrate on clinical developments, he said.
Imatron has moved on to other things. The company owns 16% of Positron, creator of PET scanners and systems (SCAN 2/29/00). Even if the medical community starts to embrace PET and Positron begins to take off, Meyer said Imatron wont expand its interest or try to acquire Positron.
I happen to be extremely bullish when it comes to the future prospect of PET, he said. But we dont want to acquire or expand our interest in Positron. We are happy to be a shareholder.

'Dickinson': Emily Offers Hope Amid the Bleak Civil War in Full Season 3 Trailer (VIDEO)
It's here. The full trailer for Dickinson's third and final season has arrived and it would seem that things are getting dark for poet Emily Dickinson (played by executive producer Hailee Steinfeld).
Set to premiere with the first three installments (of the 10-episode season) on Friday, November 5, the Apple TV+ comedy from showrunner Alena Smith (who makes her directorial debut during this season's finale) follows the tensions amid the raging American Civil War. While there is darkness, Emily is making it her mission to bring some hope to those around her the best way she knows how.
Along with the national divide taking place, there are cracks dividing her own family that she'll try to heal, and wonders if art can help keep the kind of hope she's trying to spread, alive. As she works to uncover whether the future can be better than the past, several others are joining her.
Among Season 3's cast are Toby Huss, Adrian Blake Enscoe, Anna Baryshnikov, Ella Hunt, Amanda Warren, Chinaza Uche, and Jane Krakowski. Meanwhile, rapper Wiz Khalifa returns to reprise his role as the character "Death."
The upcoming episodes also include a stellar lineup of guest stars ranging from Ziwe as Sojourner Truth and Billy Eichner as Walt Whitman to Chloe Fineman as Sylvia Plath. Season 3 also marks the return of Zosia Mamet as Louisa May Alcott and Will Pullen as Nobody.
Every episode of the new season will release once a week each Friday through December 24 when the finale is launched. Get a first look at the beginning of the end with the trailer, below, and don't miss Dickinson's return this November on Apple TV+.

A quick read of the DMNews Essential Guide To Multichannel Retail leaves one believing that retailers without a multichannel approach are about to be fossilized.
So let's pick a retailer, and give you an opportunity to share with all of us what an appropriate multichannel strategy would be.
The retailer: Orange Julius. Yes, that's right, the mall-based purveyor of appetite satisfaction.
It's unlikely that a catalog strategy will drive a dramatic increase in sales. It's unlikely that targeting prior hot dog consumers with discounted nachos via e-mail will move the needle (though they do offer an OJ Quench Club program that offers you e-mail discounts). And who is going to buy a smoothie online, and pick it up in the store? Or who wants to check retail inventory online to see if there will be an ample supply of turkey club pitas?
All kidding aside, here's your opportunity to draw up a multichannel strategy for an atypical retail brand. What ideas do you have (and all ideas are good ideas in this case, I won't be offering my thoughts in the comments section, so have at it)?

Climate change has increased the number of hot days nationwide and increased the likelihood of unhealthy extreme heat. As we look for ways to cope, we usually focus on daytime heat. But researchers at Duke University say not enough attention is paid to higher temperatures overnight.
"While extreme heat in the form of daily temperatures is very serious, we're increasingly seeing a strong connection between poor health health outcomes and persistently high overnight temperatures, particularly when those overnight temperatures remain at 75 degrees or above," said Ashley Ward, a public health expert at Duke's Nicholas Institute for Environmental Policy Solutions.
Ward said we've gotten better at taking precautions for daytime heat, whether it's schools rescheduling sports practices or outdoor workers shifting their work schedules.
But high overnight temperatures can be just as harmful, especially for those who don't have access to air conditioning, she said.
"High overnight temperatures mean that those who don't have an air conditioner or can't afford to run their air conditioner or live in less energy-efficient housing are particularly vulnerable," Ward said.
That's especially true for people with health conditions or who take prescription medications for things like diabetes or high blood pressure that can impede the body's ability to process heat, she explained.
"And so when overnight temperatures remain high, what we're seeing is the body doesn't have a chance to recover from any heat exposure during the day, which starts to trigger a cascading set of events that results in heat-related illness, heat stroke, usually over a matter of days," Ward said.
She cited a National Institutes of Health study that found heat-related emergency department visits now cost North Carolinians at least $20 million a year. That doesn't include visits to urgent cares or people who are actually admitted to hospitals.
A majority of these cases are males ages 15 to 45. Health officials also worry about women who are pregnant.
Heat-related illnesses are only increasing as the planet warms, and that's taking an economic toll as well for outdoor workers, said Luke Parsons, who studies climate and air pollution impacts on human health at the Nicholas School.
"As the globe warms, and heat waves get hotter, or let's say more frequent, it gets hotter and more humid outside for these workers who are trying to work outside, and it gets harder and harder for them to safely and efficiently conduct their work," Parsons said.
He and colleagues gathered temperature data from the U.S. and studied its effects on outdoor agriculture and construction workers. They estimated that outdoor workers doing heavy manual labor lose between 50 and 100 hours of work per year.
"This roughly translates to something like a week or two of labor loss. And we're not even in the hottest part of the world, either," Parson said.
"Given how much we know agricultural and construction workers, on average, contribute to the U.S. economy, we can estimate this is something like maybe $20 (billion) to $100 billion of labor productivity losses per year in the U.S., just because people can't as efficiently and effectively do the labor anymore. They have to slow down or take breaks," Parsons said.
Parsons also said some employers and experts are increasingly looking not just at temperatures, but also humidity, the angle of the sun, and cloud cover. This measure is called the "wet bulb globe temperature" and it's another way to help plan workloads so they don't cause heat stress.
Ward and Parsons said knowing more about how heat affects public health and the economy leads to two conclusions: We need to keep up efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions that cause global warming and we need to continue developing tactics and policies to adapt to a problem that will only get worse.

On July 22, 2015, the Court of Appeals reaffirmed its prior decision in Alfieri v. Solomon, 263 Or App 494 (2014), petition for review granted, 356 Or 516 (2014) that confidential communications made during and/or in furtherance of a mediation proceeding are protected and shall not be admitted into evidence in any subsequent adjudicatory proceeding under ORS 36.22. Yoshida's Inc. v. Dunn Carney Allen Higgins & Tongue LLP, 272 Or App 436 (2015). ORS 36.22 states in pertinent part:
Except as provided in ORS 36.220 to 36.238, mediation communications and mediation agreements that are confidential under ORS 36.220 to 36.238 are not admissible as evidence in any subsequent adjudicatory proceeding, and may not be disclosed by the parties or the mediator in any subsequent adjudicatory proceeding.
In Yoshida, the Court of Appeals confirmed that communications which fall within the classification of a "mediation communication" under ORS 36.110(7) are protected from admissibility regardless of whether the communication was: (a) previously disclosed by a party in discovery, and/or (2) made in a case that is entirely separate from the one in which the communication is sought to be admitted. Of course, the privilege only applies so long as all parties previously agreed to keep the communication confidential and no exception to the mediation privilege otherwise found in ORS 36.222 applies.
The Yoshida decision, along with its predecessor, Alfieri, has a very real world practical effect to construction defect plaintiffs who have settled with one or more parties and are continuing to prosecute claims against non-settled defendants. The most common example is an owner who has settled with a general contractor (or developer) and is still seeking to pursue either direct or assigned claims against additional parties, most usually subcontractors, for additional damages stemming from defective construction. Often in those situations, the non-settled parties will seek to admit the owner's prior settlement agreements as evidence of either the settled parties' contributory fault and/or that the owner has somehow been made whole through the past settlements. Pursuant to Yoshida and Alfieri, owners hoping to avoid such evidence coming in at trial now have the case law ammunition to seek an appropriate motion in limine pre-trial.

You continue exhibiting a certain thuggish behavior.
Why not respect my rules?
Why not respect my rules?
I'm ready for a serious dialogue, but you aren't offering one, you have games on your mind.
A good faith dialogue is upfront and with a free exchange of information and references done in plain english. That said, I will share your comments on my terms and with appropriate commentary.
Can you please send a copy of the interaction between 14 scientists and the work of Drs Shaviv & Veizer the link isn't working.
Send a copy? Sure, give me an email address.
Or you could look for yourself: https://stephenschneider.stanford.edu/Climate/Climate_Science/Contrarians.html (the following is a fraction of what you can find over there.)
… Other contrarians have made arguments along lines analogous to those of McIntyre and McKitrick. In an article in GSA Today, Shaviv and Veizer, 2003 claim that long-term CO2-induced warming will not be as great as most General Circulation Models (see Climate Modeling) predict. They echo (though on a very long time scale) the Soon and Baliunas view when they say "...celestial phenomena may be important for understanding the vagaries of the planetary climate."
Their comments that "global climate produces a stabilizing negative feedback" and "A likely candidate for such feedback is cloud cover" are similar to the views of Richard Lindzen, another long-time contrarian, who believes that climate sensitivity will be much less than most climatologists are predicting. (See Lindzen, 1997; Lindzen et al., 2001; and the figure Estimates of Climate Sensitivity, in which Lindzen is Scientist 5.
Hartmann and Michelsen, 2002 prepared a rebuttal to Lindzen, 2001, which prompted a response from Lindzen et al., 2002, followed by additional comments from Hartmann and Michelsen). See also a comment by Phillip Stott, a biogeographer at the University of London who is skeptical of anthropogenic global warming, and who cites both Soon and Baliunas, and Shaviv and Veizer to support his opinion.
Many climatologists found it telling that Shaviv and Veizer failed to mention Hoffert and Covey, 1992; Crowley, 2000; Crowley and Berner, 2001; all of which are written by climate scientists and provide striking evidence for CO2 climate sensitivity from paleo-climatological data.
A group of fourteen scientists at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PICIR) responded to Shaviv and Veizer with a short letter discussing the "highly questionable methods" the two authors employed. This was followed by a response from Shaviv and Veizer, followed by additional comments from the PICIR scientists.
A more formal rebuttal has since been prepared by Rahmstorf et al., 2004.
The authors conclude that the correlation of cosmic ray flux and climate is not as strong as it appears in the Shaviv and Veizer paper; they claim that Shaviv and Veizer adjusted the data to make the correlation more pronounced than it actually is. In addition, Rahmstorf et al. are skeptical of Shaviv and Veizer's estimate of the effects that a doubling of CO2 levels would have on the climate.
They contend that Shaviv and Veizer's regression model used for making this determination is incomplete and oversimplified, which does not suit a complex, nonlinear system like the climate. Thus, Rahmstorf et al. believe that Shaviv and Veizer's work is not grounds for revising current climate sensitivity estimates.
This is yet another example of a contrarian pretending to be the next Galileo, which is very unlikely in my opinion, but for more replies by Shaviv and Veizer, see this website.
Many of the claims of contrarians like these rest on temperature inferences made using satellite data rather than surface temperature measurements. The contrarians insist that satellite data contains little or no evidence of global warming, and many members of the Bush Administration and their supporters agree, commenting that the lack of evidence for tropospheric warming from satellite data suggests that those who believe global warming is occurring are using scare tactics, as James Schlesinger argues in "Cold Facts on Global Warming".
This is unsurprising, perhaps, given that Schlesinger is currently a director of Peabody Energy, the largest coal company in the world, and was Secretary of Energy during the Carter Administration, Secretary of Defense during the Nixon and Ford Administrations, and director of the CIA. One thing he never was is a climate scientist.
Both David Hawkins, Climate Center Director of the National Resources Defense Council (NRDC), and John Holdren, Professor of Environmental Policy at Harvard, wrote letters to the editor of the LA Times (which published Schlesinger's op-ed), revealing the telling biographical information about Schlesinger and warning that global warming is real and will become an increasing threat over time, which calls for action over delay.

Holdren continued on by stating that Schlesinger's "...principal assertions about the findings of climate science are wrong."
He reminds his audience that the satellite data Schlesinger cites is still not well understood, that the claim that temperatures were higher in 1100-1200 AD is not supported in mainstream peer-reviewed science,
and "scare tactics" are not actually "scare tactics", but scientific findings and well-informed projections on future climatic conditions, which indeed have the potential to be frightening. To my knowledge, neither letter to the editor was ever published -- hardly an example of "fair and balanced" media coverage. … link

I won't be your billboard;

we've been through this.
Posting links is fine, expecting me to be your billboard not so much.
I see many use the lectures of one man and while Archer has some good lectures and is clearly no idiot, his lectures are based on current climate thinking which is out of date (as I put forwards)
Oh but you have no problem pretending that William Happer is some lone authority more trustworthy that a community of thousands of scientists (across the globe and generations), who incidentally are always looking over each other's shoulders searching for errors.
"out of dated science" ? Seriously?
It's nonsense. Calling climate science "out of date" is bullshit politics, not science.
David Archer is a professor, an extremely knowledgable professor, who teaches his students the fundamentals of the current state of climate science understanding, which is not out dated because it's been constantly refined as more and better information becomes available.
Yes Professor Archer does teach the consensus, which is after all the thoroughly considered expert understanding.
I suppose next you're going to suggest that "consensus" should be laughed off or ignored all together because of your opinion?
Oh and for the record, in the grown up world of today, there is
no modern arena where the expert consensus doesn't hold sway, and for good reason!
Ignoring consensus only works in comic book reality, which is why I consider Anonymous12/12 comments an examination of Intellectual Juvenile Delinquency at work. Vandalism and confusion is it's intention.
"as I put forwards"?
Hmmm, so am I conversing with the geologist Jan Veizer? I'm honored you've taken the time to write. Now I only wish you would be honest and serious about explaining why you believe your personal perspective trumps a global community of scientists.
CC quoted: "You can start here: The Band Saturation Effect - New Modtran Model 1 http://www.kaltura.com/index.php/extwidget/preview/partner_id/1090132/uiconf_id/20652192/entry_id/1_etyzlvw7/embed/auto?"
My reply. -Will Happer is far more qualified in this area and one of those annoying sceptics too.
How do you figure that? Please, what are Happer's qualifications?
Will Happer was never a climatologist, his expertise was in atomic physics, optics and spectroscopy. The fruits of his labors probably went into some of the instruments that helped Air Force atmospheric scientists study our atmosphere's physics and dynamics, but that certainly doesn't make Happer any sort of authority on climate science itself!
Besides Happer is as biased as can be. He is a paid advocate for coal industry. Hell, William Happer founded the "CO2 Coalition" based in Arlington, Virginia, to promote more coal consumption. You don't think that reveals a clear bias that taints every utterance he makes on the topic?
Whereas real climate scientists are in it to learn about Earth's climate.
Besides, don't contrarians constantly tell science respecting people that appeals to authority are pointless!
Why are you making this appeal to your authority of one talker?
In the lectures I have looked at from Archer, he doesn't even acknowledge the overlap between H2O and on Robert Holmes aka 1000Frolly PhD. Conman is, as Conman does.
Actually Professor Archer certainly does discuss H2O's absorption bands, you simply weren't looking for it.
Chapter 4. Greenhouse Gases
Anonymous12/12 wants us to ignore that it's increasing CO2 molecules higher in the atmosphere above the moisture holding troposphere where most of Earth's increasing CO2 insulation is happening.
It is a clearly dishonest omission intent on confusing rather than clarify.

Hi I am the poster on the -&-quot-;-blog-&-quot-;- with zero scientific interest in the work of Frolly or the other scientific papers I put forwards.
One more time. I'm not going to be a billboard for your propaganda!
Science papers have titles and links, use them.
You lie about me, I am very interested, but I'm not going to be played by you.
If you look at everything I wrote that has not been removed, the insults actually started from a blog at a man not in a position to 1. Know about it or 2. Comment.
The other papers I put forwards and links where labelled as spam and -&-quat-;-containing-code-&-quat-;-
Still no titles, or simple links. You're playing games.
"The other papers I put forwards"
You've got me wondering, might you be Jan Veizer? Process of elimination guess.
because what I put forwards did not agree with a common belief that CO2 is driving the climate.
The ease with which you dismiss tens of thousands of hours worth of research and observations that go back easily a couple hundred years is revealing.
Your's is the behavior of a kid in the school yard making fun of the professor, totally self-certain of your own superiority and oblivious to the silliness of your position.
The Blog was set up (as I suspect this new blog is) to distract, diversify and suffocate true scientific debate and why I am a -&-quot-;-sceptic-&-quot-;- of the AGW narrative.
Still no titles, or simple links. You make it pointless for me to post your comments. Not that I won't share them and discuss them ;-)
My blogs are my own individual effort. I've set them up over time as my response to the horrendous level of maliciously dishonest astroturfing happening in the news and social media I was seeing. As much my own learning vehicle since I'm rather isolated that way - as a teaching effort.
I felt patriotically compelled to try. I thought I'd find an interested scattering of equally frustrated science loving citizens who'd want to network, perhaps even strategize to help combat the malicious weaponized disinformation campaigns.
Campaigns driven by a blind obsession to maximize personal profits, while ignoring, obscuring, confusing our understanding of essential global processes.
Unfortunately, we needed a couple hundred more like me, pushing urgency to the glacial powers that be, of all camps.
Instead, we were stuck with inept leftie groups that come across more like country clubs than serious efforts to confront the lies/misrepresentations and educate the public.
Under performing Democrats and lefties who never really appreciated the forces working against them, who never took 'this moment in time' seriously, failure after unheeded failure, never learning lessons, allowing the alt-reality narrative to dominate our communal complacency.
Too "in the moment" to appreciate the importance of the moment. Too distracted enjoying the good times to work double hard on developing a grassroots understanding of the issues - and how to defend the reality of the science and our physical living Earth against the contrived destructive con job that the "Prosperity God" Fearing Republicans have been circulating with fire hose efficiency.
But all that is under the bridge, we've given a gang of corporate vandals free reign over our government and the lasting damages will be many and painful. The runway behind us doesn't do us any good and all that.
Sure that's harsh and tinged with brokenhearted bias, but seems pretty clear at this point that we have collectively failed future society. We're all guilty. Some worse than others, still even apathy is also a choice with cascading consequences.
I am not American, I don not live in America.
So what?
This fraudulent trash science of your's has been paid for and used by Americans, you are part of the Republican disinformation machine. Don't pretend neutrality.
I have some interest in American politics (and how bad it is) but my interest is science
"Interest in science", your other words reveal that boast to be a travesty.
Science is founded on honesty representing others, especially their scientific data. It's found on serious good-faith debate that's dedicated to learning more than personal goals.
Science also expects you to be your own biggest skeptic. But you have been nothing but an advertising man trying to slap up posters.
Otherwise we'd be discussing the science instead of playing this PR game of yours.
Unidirectional skepticism equals denial.
and moreover how the media only voice one side of it.
Yeah and unfortunately it's the sensational melodramatic contrarian side that far out screams the rational side.
Republican climate science by rhetoric and bullying - where everything is confusion dedicated to confusing the physics of what we are doing to our planet.
I do not live in the US I live in Germany. I am not 1000frolly either.
and you aren't trying to engage in a serious discussion.
This NEW blog seems to reinforce my position that the climate is being used as a political tool. on Examining an Intellectual Juvenile Delinquent, 'Anonymous, Dec.12, 2019
Rather than actually discussing some climate science, you've spent all your energy dismissing me.
You are the political tool, I am a not so simple citizen who's been paying attention to climate science and Earth's biosphere and history since before starting high school in 1969.
Sure, I have my bias, I'm all about respecting and nurturing our planet's biosphere and her creatures, including people. Ever hear of Earth Centrism?
I'm ready for a rational fact based discussion.
Anonymous12/12 (Jan Veizer?) we could start with why do climate science skeptics believe it's okay to misrepresent the findings and statements of legitimate honorable climate scientists?
One of the most well-known paradoxes of tolerance was outlined by Austrian philosopher Karl Popper in his 1945 book The Open Society and Its Enemies.
Popper was a non-religious Jew who witnessed the rise of Nazism in the 20s in his hometown of Vienna and fled to England, then in 1937, to Christchurch, New Zealand, where he was appointed lecturer at Canterbury College (now the University of Canterbury). There, he wrote The Open Society, where the famous passage appears in a footnote:
Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them. — In this formulation, I do not imply, for instance, that we should always suppress the utterance of intolerant philosophies; as long as we can counter them by rational argument and keep them in check by public opinion, suppression would certainly be unwise.
But we should claim the right to suppress them if necessary even by force; for it may easily turn out that they are not prepared to meet us on the level of rational argument, but begin by denouncing all argument; they may forbid their followers to listen to rational argument, because it is deceptive, and teach them to answer arguments by the use of their fists or pistols. We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant.
This last sentence has "been printed on thousands of bumper stickers and fridge magnets," writes Will Harvie at Stuff. The quote might become almost as ubiquitous as Voltaire's line about "defending to the death" the right of free speech (words actually penned by English writer Beatrice Evelyn Hall).
Popper saw how fascism cynically exploited liberal toleration to gain a foothold and incite persecution, violent attacks, and eventually genocide. As he writes in his autobiography, he had seen how "competing parties of the Right were outbidding each other in their hostility towards the Jews."
Popper's formulation has been …

"misleading intentions of the blogger" ? ? ?
If you expect a comment to get posted, you at least need to be honest and able to support your claims, so far all you've done is call me names and paint a deliberately misleading slanderous image of who I am. At least I present evidence when I disparage specific peddlers of dishonest information.
So lets have it, where do you get off stating "my intentions are misleading"?
Provide the objective evidence that led you to that conclusion?
I'm pretty sure you can't come up with anything serious, since in reality you are the politicized fraudster in this discussion!
Anyone who objectively looks through my posts, will find that a better understanding of our Earth, along with our place upon this planet, is central to my blogs.
I may not have the proper manners polite society expects, and I'm certainly an imperfect self-taught science enthusiast and writer who errs, but those's are very different questions. Besides, I try to learn from my errors, something Republican seem to totally reject.
When it comes to my essence, what's driven me, it's always been about developing an ever deeper understanding our Earth, her story, humanity and my place in it.
Furthermore, if you look at what I've written regarding climate science issues, it's all about me listening to skeptical arguments and claims, taking them seriously enough to do my own homework and learn about the facts up close.
Which never seems to turn out good for the "skeptical" arguments. But, facts is facts!
Time after time I've found I've been deliberately deceived by the Republican No Worries crowd. This is what I write about, not just trying to explain the science in simple terms, but also in sharing copious links to original sources and encouraging folks to do their own good faith homework. Trying to stress that it requires an informed and engage electorate to save our democracy.

How to Explain Your Employment Gap
Contracts end. Life gets in the way. Most of us at some point in our careers will deal with a gap in employment.
Recruiters and hiring managers will be understanding to a degree. After all, they have most likely had to deal with similar issues in their careers. So while it's not unusual to have an employment gap during your cleared career, what's the best way to handle it? Watch the video below for tips for success:
Here's a rough timeline to provide you with direction in handling your employment gap.
Out of Work for Less than Three Months
If you've been without a job for less than three months it's pretty straightforward. You should simply have a good answer when asked by a recruiter or hiring manager as to what you've been doing since separating from your previous position. Actively networking and seeking new employment is an appropriate answer.
Out of Work for Three Months to Six Months
Now you're getting into a timeframe where a simple one-line explanation on your resume is helpful to explain what you have been doing since working in your last cleared job. For example your explanation may be stating that you have been dealing with family care or medical issues, which is fine. If that is your reasoning, be sure to state that these issues have been resolved — assuming that is the case — so it's clear that you are ready to hit the ground running with a new employer.
More than Six to Nine Months
If you've been out of work for more than six months or so, it's important to be able to address what you have been doing to maintain or upgrade your skills while you've been out of work. That could be taking classes, working on certifications, relevant volunteer work or consulting. What are you accomplishing with your time that keeps you a viable employment candidate?
At this stage it's even more critical to network for success. In an employee referral situation a potential employer is much less concerned about what you've been doing during your time off than if you are applying cold without a recommendation.
An employment gap is not a deal killer for hiring managers. They are very common in the cleared community.
Be prepared to address your gap with a plan to keep your skills viable and a professional response for hiring managers, and you'll be ahead of the game.

Bill Clinton recently stated he believed he did not owe Monica Lewinsky an apology for their consensual affair while he was president. Their affair lasted intermittently from 1995 thru 1997. Lewinsky was 22 years old when their relationship began.
Rose McGowan, a prominent activist within the #MeToo movement became angered by Clinton's statement. She claimed he ruined Monica Lewinsky's life.
McGowan said "Bill Clinton. Here is the truth of it: a human life was altered & destroyed due to your selfishness. Because. You. Could. You not only wiped your semen on a young girl's dress, you left a stain on society. You actually owe EVERYONE an apology, especially her."
Previously, the #MeToo activist claimed 22 year old Monica Lewinsky was a kid. McGowen stated "Get real people, see truth. She (Lewinsky) was a kid. Biggest power imbalance ever. The SCARLET LETTER IS HIS."
Why should an adult man apologize to an adult women for a consensual relationship he had with her? The idea Clinton is solely responsible for their relationship and owes Lewinsky an apology is sexist.
Rose, here is the truth of it. You dont get to claim a grown woman is not responsible for her actions. You dont get to claim a 22 year old woman should be considered a kid in the eyes of the law. Monica was not forced into a relationship. She saw fame and fortune in an affair with a US president. She made her own decisions as an ADULT. If she regrets those decisions now - too bad. Its still not sexual assault. Its not rape. If Lweinsky had rejected the relationship, nothing would have happened to her. The US is not currently a Soviet police state. She wouldn't have been shot. She wouldn't have been shipped to a Soviet concentration camp. She wouldn't have been relieved of her intern duties. She would have continued living anonymously.
Regardless of whether the reader hates or likes Bill Clinton, the fact remains he owes Monica Lewinsky nothing. He didn't rape her. He didn't sexually assault her. He didn't ruin her life. She made her own decisions as an adult. She alone is responsible for the consequences of those decisions just as Clinton is responsible for the consequences of his decisions.
The #MeToo activist is simply blaming a man for bad decisions an adult woman made. She is asserting grown women should not be held responsible for their actions. She is claiming female freedom from consequences of bad decisions. She is claiming female privilege.
McGowan's comments show the projection of female privilege is a component of the #MeToo movement. If a woman makes a mistake, she can avoid accountability by blaming a man.

How To Make "Kuku Sabzi" (Persian Herb Omelet) | Tasting Table Re
Herb is the word for this baked egg dish
Kuku is a Persian dish that usually involves eggs beaten with a variety of ingredients. What distinguishes kuku from an omelet or a frittata, however, is just how little egg is actually in the dish; the egg is simply used to bind the other ingredients together, not stand on its own.
Some kukus are savory, filled with fried potato or zucchini; some are sweet, often studded with quince, dates and pistachios. However, the most popular variety is the kuku sabzi, which is typically served during the Persian New Year (Nowruz) and can be eaten warm, cold or at room temperature. The eggs are filled with a heaping mound of fresh herbs, but it's the tablespoon of dried fenugreek that makes the dish so fragrant and aromatic.
Put some greens on your next brunch menu with this fragrant dish.
Recipe from the Tasting Table Test Kitchen
- 5 tablespoons canola oil, divided
- 1 large yellow onion, finely chopped (about 1½ cups)
- 1 medium leek, finely chopped (about 1 cup)
- Kosher salt, to taste
- 6 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1½ cups very finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
- 1½ cups very finely chopped dill
- 1½ cups very finely chopped cilantro
- Lavash bread, yogurt, fresh herbs and radishes, for serving
- 1 tablespoon dried fenugreek (optional)
- 2 teaspoons dried rose petals, ground (optional)
- Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and leeks. Season with salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until very soft but not brown, 14 to 16 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, flour, baking powder, salt, pepper and turmeric. Using a rubber spatula, stir in the herbs and cooled onion-leek mixture.
- Position the rack on the upper third of the oven and turn on the broiler.
- Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in the batter and spread evenly with a rubber spatula. Cook, covered, until the bottom has set, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Place the skillet under the broiler, uncovered, watching carefully until the top has completely set, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the oven.
- Slide the kuku sabzi onto a serving platter and garnish with the rose petals. Cut the kuku sabzi into wedges and serve with lavash bread, yogurt, fresh herbs and radishes.

Potential Impact Of The Coronavirus - #Pandemic
Right from the moment the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the COVID-19 or the Coronavirus outbreak as the global Pandemic, every sector has shaken its core existence. Even when we write this article here, few new cases are being reported in some parts of the world. So, experts suggest that also as China will recover from the bouts of this malignancy, the effects will still extend to the global plethora even in the next quarters, thereby creating more significant damage than imagined.
With every day marking a rise in the affected and the death tolls, the threat of the global Pandemic has given spillovers to every sector, and the downside risk will take a lot of time to recover. According to the chief economist of J.P. Morgan, Bruce Kasman, the global GDP growth will see a massive stall, which is the first of its kind outside a recession.
Material Disruption to the First Quarter of the Year
According to economists, the Federal Reserve is expected to ease 25 more basis points in their March Session in addition to the emergency reserves of 50 basis points cut in the first week of March. There is a 50% chance, though that the entire economy will return to their original belts. The good news is that by the end of 2020, there will be potential growth in the different aspects of the central banks globally, thereby easing the market to a greater extent. So, if the growing concerns of COVID-19 could be curbed down on time, at least 13 out of 22 sectors could emerge further with ease.
It won't be wrong to state that the outbreak has impacted the economy brutally, and will continue its splurge further, especially for the markets of business and travel. Most effects that are seen on the airlines, airports, and the cruise industry while traveling internationally or even otherwise, are getting restricted increasingly.
Restrictions of Travelling of the U.S. Travelling
Considering the massive outbreak of the COVID-19, the Government of the USA has implemented strict traveling restrictions to contain the same within their borders. Foreigners are also temporarily denied entry in the country if they have visited China within the 14 days before visiting the country. Also, the citizens who have recently visited the Hubei Province of China and Iran within the last two weeks will be sent for a mandatory quarantine of 14 days.
Many airlines have suspended their flights to China, along with restricted flights to Japan and South Korea. The U.S. State Advisory Department has sent in travel advisory levels for the countries, including China, Italy, and specific regions of South Korea. The virus will be affecting the Revenue Per Available Seat Mile (RASM) in the first quarter of the year, and maybe the remainder of the year. It will not be unlikely that the cheaper fuel prices will still encourage travel and offset the losses incurred later.
Particularly after the first fatality reported in February, the Transatlantic and Pacific Capacity toppled down to a great extent considering the reluctance of people to travel anymore during the time of Pandemic, thereby resorting to hibernation. This has given the experts an assumption that Travel and Tourism of the USA will be impacted drastically in the coming days. This has impacted every aspect of the flights, even the frequent fliers, and has curbed down a substantial amount fo profit that otherwise proved to be fruitful for the economy.
The COVID-19 has impacted the major international airlines more than the domestic ones. As previously explained, the majority of international flights are either suspended or restricted. So, going forward, if the fatality rate of the local carriers rises, then these profit margins will be prone to more risk. Officials have already reported a decline of almost 100% flights catering to the demands of flying to and from China. This included about 75% decline to the entire TransPacific transaction. Apart from the major airlines, all other smaller airlines have suspended their flights and started providing travel waivers to their passengers already. They are also extending support towards allowing customers to travel further by changing flights without charging a fee.
SARS and MERS Outbreak Taught Valuable Lessons
The outbreaks of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) in 2015 and the SARS in the year 2003 before the Coronavirus outbreak have already slowed down flying. However, the severity of the cases was found to be more impactful in the case of the SARS outbreak. It was a case where the maximum amount of traveling was cut down due to the risk of the national epidemic.
During the peak outbreak period of the SARS during March – April 203, the share prices of all the airline companies had seen a steep downslide, especially for all the Asian airlines and airports. According to the findings of the International Air Transport Association, Asian Airlines saw a significant downfall of 8% on their overall businesses that year. However, after the threat deteriorated by the end of the year, these airlines bounced back to business. They saw a massive recovery resulting in 37% growth, which was in line with the MSCI Asia that reported an increase of 38%, while the airports saw business for a whopping 51%. A similar scenario was observed from June through December 2015, where Asian Airlines and Airports reported a decline of 25% and 14%, respectively.
The Current Scenario
Following the massive outbreak of the virus in January 2020, flights and traveling have seen a tremendous downfall so far. Hundreds and thousands of flights were canceled so now, and the number is taking a steep rise every single day. Most of the international airlines are taking measures to suspend their trips to China for the next three to four months, while the European airlines are also following suit. The flight suspension is not only restricted to China but has also impacted the travel economy of Italy, South Korea, Japan, and Iran, thereby putting the entire situation in a dilemma.
Following the outbreak, the New Year already saw a massive drop in the number of air passengers. The Chinese authorities were also forced to suspend group travels as the air passenger traffic continued to drop dramatically, thereby making the figures to be 47% less than that of the previous year in a given month during the holiday period.
The continental belt of Europe is not far behind, with the Frankfurt Airport being exposed to the maximum number of exposure from China and Asia. Frankfurt Airport is the primary hub of the Asian domicile, has attracted more than 10% air traffic that includes around 4% population from China and Hong Kong. All the other airports are also impacted severely and reported to approximately 6.4% losses by now.
The Global Outlook
The advent of 2020 has practically shaken the global economy with the sudden outbreak of the Coronavirus pandemic, given that China plays a critical role in the global economic model. The country now accounts for 17% of the Global GDP. Although economists think that the shock could lead to a more significant impact on the global economy. At a time when fear factor plays a pivotal role in restricting mobility, sectors like entertainment, catering, offline retail sales, transportation, and tourism will be the most adversely affected by the outbreak.
The forecast for quick recovery still lies in vain as the calculated industrial activities have not been able to recover as forecasted. However, normalization is expected to resume with the first week of April with Q2 ready to bounce back and offset the loss of Q1 completely.
While the Coronavirus has compulsively proved to be an unexpected demand shock for the first quarter of the year, it will also be showing the trait of a notable supply shock for a prolonged period with factory shutdowns all around the world. The first-quarter GDP was previously forecasted to be at 6.3% growth, which is now revised to a contraction of 3.9%. However, economists are hopeful for having a more robust rebound in quarter two with a crackling 14.6% quarter-over-quarter adjusted growth. This would see the much-anticipated yearly growth of 5.2%. However, the same was 5.4% in the previous year. This, however, does not deny the potential negative impacts on health and other associated risks.
The Real Crisis
Without denial of the effects of the ongoing scenario, it will not be wrong to presume that even if the Pandemic seizes, its effects will be seen for a more extended period in the global scene. While the overall GDP of the world is expected to contract by 0.8% in the first quarter, the entire yearly GDP is expected to grow by 1.4% with a rebound of 2.25% in the second quarter.
So, it can clearly be stated that given the uncertainties of contagion, the pace of work might get hampered, but is expected to make a sizeable rebound by the end of the year. The markets are expecting an excessive recession risk and will take some time to stabilize themselves from this worst drawdown of the past 20 years.

Did you adopt a puppy dog a few months ago and is he filling your life with his presence and your heart with joy day after day? What a wonderful feeling – we know it well! Among the many changes that you will have to deal with during his growth, there will also be the moment when he changes his teeth. Here's what you need to do when your dog is losing his milk teeth.
The puppy's milk teeth
Puppies are born without teeth, but around the second or third week of life, their first milk teeth begin to appear and are later replaced by the permanent ones. At the fourth month of life, the puppy has a complete set of teeth, consisting of 28 milk teeth: six incisors, six premolars and two canines for each dental arch.
From the fourth month onwards, the milk teeth begin to fall out, making room for the 42 permanent teeth: six incisors, two canines, eight premolars and six molars in the lower jaw, while there are four molars in the upper jaw.
The change of teeth begins around the fourth month and ends between the sixth and the ninth; to be precise, we wish to point out that this period can vary depending on the breed, sex, size and season in which the animal is born. Females, for example, tend to lose their milk teeth first and the same is true for puppies born in the summer.
So, what happens during the period when the milk teeth begin to fall out up until the formation of the permanent teeth? The little dog almost always notices nothing, feeling no pain, and it is not unusual for the puppy to end up swallowing his milk teeth. Nevertheless, at times, the gums begin to bleed and, in fact, this is one of the main symptoms of this change in teeth.
What you should do if a tooth does not fall out
As we mentioned above, in 90% of cases, a puppy feels no pain, but sometimes a milk tooth can come out halfway or, even worse, it doesn't fall out despite the pressure exerted beneath it by the permanent tooth. At times like these, what should you do to prevent your furry friend from suffering and to avoid complications?
If the tooth is there, waiting to come out, but never does, you can try to help it along, by giving the dog a special toy to bite and chew. This toy should not be too hard, but just hard enough to help your four-legged get rid of the extra tooth once and for all. Ferplast offers a wide range of chewing toys that can be very useful in situations like these; all those in the Goodbite Natural range are ideal for this purpose and they are absolutely natural and do not alter the dog's diet.
In the most extreme cases, however, it is best to go to your vet, who will see to the problem personally and proceed to perform a real operation to extract the milk teeth that have not yet fallen out.
Always remember that a dog's teeth are very important and, for this reason, they should always be kept clean.
