How to remove stains from polyester and other synthetics
Sweat-wicking polyester t-shirts, bright acrylic jumpers, soft nylon tights, slinky rayon blouses – synthetic fabrics are a bigger presence in your wardrobe than you might think. So chances are you'll probably find yourself peering at a label one day and wondering how to remove stains from polyester, or what the synthetic washing machine cycle is, or which detergent might be kind to nylon. That's where we come in.
We've put together the ultimate guide to washing and removing stains from synthetics here – so read on and prepare to become an expert.
What is the synthetic cycle? Washing machine advice
So: are synthetics washing machine-friendly? Yes, most of the time they are – just check the care label to be absolutely certain. If you can wash your synthetic garment in the machine, use the synthetics cycle. The washing machine will then wash your clothes at a low temperature with less spinning, since too much heat and agitation can damage (and sometimes even melt) synthetic fabrics.
How do I wash polyester and other synthetics? Key tips:
- Check the label. If your washing machine lacks a synthetics cycle, stay relaxed and simply read your garment's care label to find out what the recommended wash temperature is.
- Avoid heat. Synthetics are heat-sensitive, so keep them well away from tumble dryers and ironing boards. If an item really needs to be pressed, try using a cool iron, protecting the fabric by putting a clean, old towel in-between the garment and the iron.
- No special synthetic detergent needed. As long as your synthetic fabric isn't blended with something delicate, you don't need a special detergent. Anything from the Surf excel range will give you great results.
How to remove stains from polyester, nylon, and other synthetics
Found a striking stain on your yoga pants? Don't panic – removing marks from polyester and other synthetic fabrics is a breeze. Here's what you need to know about each fabric:
Acrylic is the ultimate chameleon – it can mimic pretty much any other fabric around, so you'll often acrylic blended with natural fibres like cotton or wool. Microfibre towels and fleeces tend to be made with acrylic, and it's often used alongside wool to make jumpers.
How do I wash and remove stains from acrylic?
Acrylic fabrics don't like the heat, so wash them in warm or cool water. Often the synthetic cycle will do, but check the label to be sure as wool blends might need even cooler water. You can usually treat any stains with undiluted Surf excel Liquid Detergent, washing the garment in the machine (or by hand) afterwards. Find out more about washing acrylic clothes here.
Polyester is an incredibly versatile fabric. Besides slinky gym wear, it can also make soft t-shirts and even fluffy jumpers, carpets, and pillow stuffing.
How do I wash polyester and remove stains?
Polyester and acrylic clothes have very similar needs. Just wash the item on a warm (not hot!) synthetic washing cycle – around 30-40 degrees is usually fine. Pre-treat any stains with a small amount of Surf excel Liquid Detergent.
Nylon can be made to look thin or sheer without losing its strength, so it's often used in tights and lingerie. Treated properly, it's also durable and waterproof, making it an ideal option for umbrellas and fishing lines, too!
How do I wash and treat stains on nylon?
Nylon items can be washed the same way as polyester and acrylics. if you're trying to clean delicates like underwear, putting them a wash bag can keep them from getting damaged in the machine.
Rayon is a collective name for fabrics like viscose and modal. What connects them is that they are all made from cellulose – fibres that typically come from wood pulp. You might think that this makes rayon a natural fabric, but since it's treated with chemicals during the production process, it does still fall under the 'synthetics' umbrella.
How do I wash rayon?
Rayon can't always be washed at home, so be sure to check the item's care label for advice. If it doesn't say 'dry clean only', then go ahead and hand wash your garment in lukewarm water, using a special delicate detergent if possible.
And that's it for this ultimate guide! Be sure to check out our tips on washing cotton and cleaning silk too. Just remember: most synthetics are pretty low maintenance! Just keep the water cool and stick to the recommendations on the care label. When in doubt, don't hesitate to go to your local dry cleaners for help. It's what they're there for!

Cainites of Europa,
Our Caliphs believe in paradise after death. They believe that taking part in fighting will not bring their day nearer; and staying behind will not postpone their day either. Exalted be to Haqim who said: "And a soul will not die but with the permission of Haqim." Our Isnad believe in the saying of the messenger Ur'Shulgi, Haqim's Blessings and Salutations may be on him: "O Blood Warrior, I teach a few words; guard." Guard the cause of, keep the commandments of, Haqim, then He guards you. Guard the cause of Haqim, then He will be with you; if you ask for your need, ask Haqim, if you seek assistance, seek Haqim's; and know definitely that if the Whole World gathered to bestow profit on you they will not profit you except with what was determined for you by Haqim, and if they gathered to harm you they will not harm you except with what has been determined for you by Haqim; Pen lifted, papers dried, it is fixed nothing in these truths can be changed. Shaheed, Shaheed, Omar as-Sahab! Our Viziers took note of the meaning of the poetic verse:
"If death is a predetermined must, then it is a shame to die cowardly."
These youths believe in what has been told by Haqim and His messenger (Haqim's Blessings and Salutations may be on Ur'Shulgi) about the greatness of the reward for the Mujahideen and Martyrs; Haqim, the most exalted said: "And so far those who are slain in the way of Haqim, He will by no means allow their deeds to perish. He will guide them and improve their condition. and cause them to enter the garden of paradise, which He has made known to them."
Those Caliphs know that their rewards in fighting you, Sonndheim al-Innsbruck, are double their rewards in fighting someone else not from the people of the book. They have no intention except to enter paradise by killing you. An infidel, and enemy of Haqim like you, cannot be in the same hell with his righteous executioner.
I am willing to sacrifice self and wealth for Caliphs who never disappointed me. Knights who are never fed up or deterred by death, even if the mill of war turns. In the heat of battle they do not care, and cure the insanity of the enemy by their Blood.
Terrorizing you, while you murder our Isnad, is a legitimate and morally demanded duty. It is a legitimate right well known to all Cainites and other creatures. Your example and our example is like a snake which entered into a house of a man and got killed by him. The coward is the one who lets you walk, while murdering the flock of Haqim, freely on his land and provides you with peace and security.
Haqim's Caliph are different from your soldiers. Your problem will be how to convince your troops to fight, while our problem will be how to restrain our youths to wait for their turn in fighting and in operations. These youths are worthy of commendation and praise. We stand up tall to defend Alamut.
We come to Innsbruck with respect for its flock and shepherds, for their great civilization and for the religious faiths they practice. We have no ambition except to remove a threat and restore control of that country to the rule of Tradition. Alamut enters this conflict reluctantly, yet our purpose is sure. Haqim and his Caliphs and Isnad will not live at the mercy of an outlaw regime that threatens peace with murder, Tradition with Blasphemy, and property with destruction.
Amaranth upon you, Sonndheim al-Innsbruck Abu Jyhad al-Gor'trich. Haqim will soon feast.
-The Old Man

The Swiss photographer Werner Bischof would have turned 100 on April 26. A new book and two exhibitions look back on his work and a career which was cut short by a fatal car accident while on reportage in Peru in 1954.
Bischof's legacy stands out for its range. In addition to his photography there are diaries, sketches, lectures and a voluminous correspondence with his parents, his wife Rosellina, his friends and of course his former colleagues at Magnum Photos.
At the beginning of his career, during the Second World War, Bischof worked in a studio – his ivory tower, as he later called it – until Arnold Kübler, a mentor, suggested he turn his gaze towards people. This resulted in Bischof exploring a war-ravaged Europe.
The recently published photo album Perspectives starts with this journey that took Bischof to southern Germany, where the 29-year-old photographer was overwhelmed by what he saw.
On his later trips, Bischof always endeavoured to retain his integrity and compassion and also to show the "other side" of conflict areas. This enabled him time after time to find a unique perspective.

The Dragon Slayer. By Jaime Hernandez. TOON, 2018. Hardcover: ISBN 978-1943145287, $16.95. Softcover: ISBN 978-1943145294, $9.99. 40 pages. A Junior Library Guild Selection.
Jaime Hernandez, one of the world's great cartoonists, is as lively and influential a comic book artist as you could hope to find. He has changed many readers' and artists' lives. His work on the Love and Rockets series (1981-now), in tandem with his brothers Mario and especially Gilbert Hernandez, proved that there was life and juice and relevance in the serial comics magazine, beyond even what many fans of the medium had dared hope. The punk, Latinx, and queer-positive aesthetic of L&R, along with its serious, in-depth storytelling and formal risk-taking, made for a revolution in comics, and Jaime Hernandez has deservedly been called one of the masters of the medium. The Dragon Slayer is not his first comic for children, as he's done a few short pieces for children's anthologies. Nor is it his first comic based on folklore: seek out for example "La Blanca," his version of a ghost story he heard from his mother, which he did for Gilbert's all-ages anthology Measles No. 2 back in 1999 (Gilbert too has made folk and family lore into comics: dig his "La Llorona," from New Love No. 5, back in 1997). Moreover, children and childhood memories are essential to Jaime's work in Love and Rockets. But The Dragon Slayer is Jaime's first real children's book.
As Hernandez told Publishers Weekly's Calvin Reid in an interview published this week,
I have kid [characters] in my adult comics, but they play by my rules. Now that I'm writing for children, I'm playing by their rules. I was a little nervous because now I'm speaking directly to kids and to the parents who will let them read [the book].
So Dragon Slayer is something new for him. In fact it's a quiet collaboration: the book's back matter tells us that Hernandez read through many folktales to find the three that he wanted to adapt, and in this he was commissioned and helped by TOON's editorial director and the book's designer, Françoise Mouly. Mouly's team also deserves mention: in this case, designer Genevieve Bormes, who supplied Aztec and Maya design motifs that enliven the book's endpapers and peritexts, and editor, research assistant, and colorist Ala Lee. Like most books in the TOON Graphics line, Dragon Slayer includes some discreet educational apparatus, in the form of notes and bibliography -- more teamwork. Further, the book comes introduced by prolific scholar and children's author F. Isabel Campoy, whose collaborative book with children's author and teacher educator Alma Flor Ada, Tales Our Abuelitas Told: A Hispanic Folktale Collection (2006), is credited as one of Hernandez's sources. Campoy and Ada are key contributors here. (Another key source, albeit not as clearly announced, is John Bierhorst's 2002 collection Latin American Folktales.) All this is by way of packaging three 10-page comics by Hernandez, which are a delight, and are over too soon. I could read book after book like this from Hernandez -- the premise fits him beautifully.
Hernandez has said that he liked the "wackiness" of these stories, and they do have that absurd-but-perfect, unquestionable quality of many folk tales: a sense of symbolic rightness and fated, almost-inevitable form in spite of the seeming craziness of their plots. Things happen that are preposterous and unexplained but just seem to fit, to click, because of the tales' use of repetition, parallels, rhythmic phrasing, and ritual challenges: stock ingredients, in anything but stock form. These folkloric patterns make the tales complete and rounded no matter how nonsensical they might appear at first. In crisp pages that rarely depart from a standard six-panel grid, Hernandez delivers the stories straight up, without any rationalizing or ironic distance, in clean, classic cartooning that communicates without breaking a sweat. Jaime is a master of seemingly guileless and transparent, but in fact subtle and artful, narrative drawing, and The Dragon Slayer does not disappoint.
This has been billed as a "graphic novel," but it's no more a novel than other splendid TOON books like Birdsong, Flop to the Top, The Shark King, or Lost in NYC. What it is is a charming comic book that whets the appetite for more. Hernandez's cartooning benefits from the book's folkloric and scholarly teamwork, but the main thing is that the comics are marvelous. The title story, a feminist fairy tale with a light touch, focuses on an unfairly disowned youngest daughter who slays monsters and solves problems: a real pip. "Martina Martínez and Pérez the Mouse" (adapted from Ada's text) is an absurd story of marriage between a woman and a mouse, until it becomes a wise fable about panic and grief. "Tup and the Ants" is a lazy-son story in which the (again) youngest child proves his mettle with the help of a hill's worth of hard-working ants. All three comics surprised me and made me laugh out loud.
I could call the book an anthology of lovely moments. It suffers no shortage of arresting moments -- panels that leap out:
But what really makes these panels lovely is that there is no grandstanding in the art, only a terrific economy in visual storytelling: a streamlined delivery that carries us far, fast. Context is everything, and the book is not so much excerptable as endlessly readable.
In short, The Dragon Slayer is a great book for Jaime Hernandez and for TOON, and one of the best folktale and fairy tale-based comics I've seen. I confess myself puzzled by its labeling as a TOON Graphic, which in the TOON system implies an older, more experienced comics reader, as opposed to TOON's Level 1, 2, and 3 books for beginning or emerging readers (I don't see this as a more complex comics-reading experience than, say, some of the Level 3 titles). But I do appreciate the oversized (7¾ x 10 inch) TOON Graphics format, which gives Hernandez a larger space to work in, more like that of a comics magazine. That suits his drawing and pacing. In any case, The Dragon Slayer is a sweet, short burst of smart, loving comics, and comes highly recommended.
PS. A Spanish-language edition, La Matadragones: Cuentos de Latinoamérica, is also available in both hardcover (ISBN 978-1943145300) and softcover (ISBN 978-1943145317), priced as above.
TOON provided a review copy of this book, in its English-language version.
Out This Week: Archival Quality
Archival Quality. Written by Ivy Noelle Weir, illustrated and colored by Steenz. Oni Press, March 2018. ISBN 978-1620104705. $19.99, 280 pages. A Junior Library Guild Selection.
Archival Quality, an original graphic novel out this week, tells the story of a haunted museum: a ghost story. It also tells about living with mental illness. The protagonist Cel, a librarian struggling with anxiety and depression, takes a job as archivist of a spooky medical museum that once served as an asylum (my friend, medical archivist and comics historian Mike Rhode, should check this out). The catch: she has to live in an apartment on the premises and do her work only in the dead of night. Soon she begins to witness... happenings that she cannot explain. Her boss, the museum's curator, and her coworker, a librarian, tiptoe around her, knowing more than they will say. Cel, who lost her previous job due to a breakdown, is understandably perplexed and triggered by their evasions, and by the fact that no one seems to believe her reports of odd doings. She begins to have frightful dreams: flashbacks that evoke the shadowy history of women's mental health treatment. The plot, which like many ghost stories gestures toward the fantastic (as Todorov defined it), finally veers toward the outright marvelous as Cel investigates the case of a young woman from long ago whose presence still lingers about the place. Cel, as she works to solve that case, is by turns fragile and angry, defensive and determined—a complex character, as is the curator, at first her foil, later her ally. The story takes quite a few turns.
To be honest, Archival Quality's title and look did not prepare me for its uneasy exploration of mental health treatment—or rather, the social and psychiatric construction of mental illness. As I read through the novel's first half, Steenz's drawing style struck me as too light, undetailed, and schematically cute for the story's atmosphere of updated Gothic. Cel, with her snub nose, button eyes, and moplike hair, reminded me strongly of Raggedy Ann, and in general Steen's characters have a neotenic, doll-like quality. The settings seemed too plain to conjure up mystery and dread; the staging seemed too shallow, with talking heads posed before blank fields of color or swaths of shadow, lacking particulars. Steenz favors air frames (white borders around the panels, rather than drawn borderlines) and an uncluttered look. This did not jibe with my expectations of the ghost story as a genre.
But as the plot deepens, and Cel's dreams and visions overtake her, Weir and Steenz together generate suspense. The pages deal out a number of small, quiet shocks:
Further, Steenz's sensitive handling of body language brings the characters, doll-like as they are, to life. The book becomes tense, involving, and, as we say, unputdownable.
Weir and Steenz's back pages tell us that the two enjoyed a close working relationship, and you can tell this from the story's anxious unwinding. This is unusually strong storytelling, and a complicated, coiled plot, for a first-time graphic novel team. Clearly, Weir and Steenz are simpatico artistically—and ideologically too, I think, sharing a progressive and feminist outlook that shapes cast, character design, characterization, and plot.
I will admit that not everything about Archival Quality works for me. The plot, on the level of mechanics, seems juryrigged and farfetched, that is, determined to pull characters and elements together for the sake of symbolic fitness, without the sort of realistic rigging that the novel seems to be striving for. In other words, certain things happen simply because they have to happen. Further, some elements of the story, rather big elements I think, are palmed off in the end because Weir and Steenz don't seem to be interested in working out the details. At the closing, I had the feeling that a Point was being made, rather than a novel being rounded off (to be fair, I often react this way to YA fiction, even though I know that didacticism is crucial to the genre). Still, Archival Quality, behind its coy title, offers a gutsy exploration of mental health treatment, an eerie ghost story, and characters who renegotiate their relationships with credible human frailty and charm. A most promising print debut, and a keeper.

Old Westbury, NY- The Sage Colleges' women's basketball team travelled to face the Panthers of SUNY-Old Westbury on Saturday afternoon in a Skyline Conference match-up. The Panthers snapped Sage's seven-game win streak with a 75-62 win. Old Westbury improves to 14-3 overall and stands at 7-3 in the Skyline, while Sage drops to 13-6 overall and 9-3 in the league. Sage took a 17-9 lead into the second quarter before SUNY-Old Westbury held a 39-27 lead at the half. Despite a strong third quarter, the Gators were unable to post the key road win.
Sophomore guard Macie Holmes (Amsterdam, NY/Mekeel Christian Academy) led the Gators in scoring with a season-best 17 points, two shy of tying her career best of 19 points. She added 12 points in the first stanza and added four baskets from three-point range.
Junior forward Genevieve Schoff (Little Falls, NY/Little Falls) tallied her ninth double-double of the year after adding 10 points and a team-best 13 rebounds. She was held to just two points in the first half and came on strong in the second half for Sage. A 2017 CoSIDA Academic All-District nominee, she now sports 19 career double-doubles. Schoff moved into the No. 7 spot on Sage's career scoring list with her 897 points. She moved past Susanne Booth (1994-1998, 889 points. She is also No. 5 in career rebounds with 579 rebounds and well as No. 2 in career blocks with 81.
Senior guard Frankie Pearson (Hoosick Falls, NY/Hoosick Falls Central) also finished in double-digit scoring in the contest as she added 13 points with six rebounds and two assists. Pearson now has 952 career points and vaulted into the No. 5 position on Sage's career scoring list. She moved ahead of Sage's 2015 Athletic Hall of Fame inductee Karen Harris (940 pts., 1991-1995) and is poised to become the fifth player in the program's history to attain 1,000 career points. She already holds Sage's career three-point field goal mark with her active standard of 173, while standing No. 3 in career games played (98), No. 9 in career assists (172), and No. 8 with 147 steals.
Sage is back in action on February 2 for a 6 p.m. road Skyline Conference with the Dolphins of the College of Mt. St. Vincent.

Microwaves are rated on evenness and speed of heating, noise, ease of use and usable capacity. Each gets a score of up to 100, and are ranked accordingly. A few have been recently discontinued.
TheSweethome.com has cut back on their microwave testing this year, after discovering that microwave technology isn't really changing much, and that most microwaves have basically identical hardware. They chose to stick with just two brands, GE and Panasonic, testing new models within those lines. Still, Tim Heffernan and Jessie Kissinger took past research and testing into account, and that information is still available and timely, to make their picks.
After testing nine microwave ovens at the Good Housekeeping Institute's Kitchen Appliances and Technology Lab, editors round up these eight top choices (they don't explain the drop-off of the ninth). Microwaves were tested for melting cheese, "baking" potatoes, reheating and defrosting. Sensors were also tested as was ease of use across a variety of criteria. Ease of cleaning was also considered.
HomeDepot.com carries hundreds of microwaves and many of them get hundreds -- or thousands -- of reviews. Countertop, over-the-range and built in models are well-represented. Some of the reviews here are drawn from manufacturers' websites, but many other are unique to HomeDepot.com. In addition to a 5-star rating system, owners can indicate if they would recommend the product.
Like at HomeDepot.com, many of the microwave reviews at Lowes.com are drawn from manufacturer websites, so there are duplicate reviews between the two sites. However, there are unique reviews here as well, and Lowes.com carries a large number of microwaves from a variety of manufacturers. Also like HomeDepot.com, reviewers rate on a 5-star system and can recommend the product, or not.
BestBuy.com may be thought of more as an electronics destination, but they carry hundreds of microwaves in every style and at every price range. Also, these reviews are unique to Best Buy, and many of the purchases are verified through the store's buyer's reward program. As with Lowes.com and HomeDepot.com, these reviews are an excellent way to assess a microwaves real world performance.
Amazon.com carries hundreds of microwaves, but they tend to get worse reviews than at dedicated appliance sites. However, many microwaves come from third party sellers, and we see a lot of low ratings due to shipping and packaging complaints, rather than actual use or performance of the microwave. Some scores are also dragged down by reviews of different microwaves from the same maker -- including some not purchased at Amazon.com.
Reviewed.com used to be one of our go-to sources for great microwave reviews, and the ones they have on site are still helpful. However, no new models have been reviewed for more than a year, and many of the models reviewed in the past are now discontinued, including their two highest-rated microwaves.
As with Reviewed.com, this used to be an extremely valuable resource for microwave reviews, but none have been posted in quite a while. Reviews of models that are not discontinued still have value, but that number is shrinking.
Although this is one of the most comprehensive single microwave reviews we found, it's also a review for only one microwave, making it less useful, overall, than even briefer roundups at other sites.
In spite of what the title of this article implies, there are no "ratings or reviews" of specific drawer microwaves here, just a mention of a few common brands. However, the author says that since all drawer microwaves are made by Sharp, they all should perform similarly, leaving the decision to aesthetics (what matches your appliances) and value, including any available rebates.

The new CIN stand "Painting before Painting" which will be present in the central NorteShopping Square until 25 April, is promoting colour and painting as an act of renovating spaces.
With this activity, the Iberian market leader in the paint and varnish market can show all its visitors that painting with CIN is very easy.
"Painting before Painting" is a service which assembles all the tools, know-how and colour solutions that CIN makes available to its customers.
With this new stand, the brand is seeking to provide continuity to the activities which have confirmed CIN as a specialist in colour.
Throughout the activity, the "Painting before Painting" space will always have a CIN technician present and at the weekends, from 16:00 to 19:00, a CIN Colour Adviser will also be present that the visitors can make use of free colour counselling.
Discover, Create, Simulate, Combine and Test: these are the challenges to which the service "Painting before Painting" is responding.
To get started, simply take inspiration from the CIN catalogues and discover the available colours that you like best.
If you wish to be more daring, you can also bring the most original colour that you can find (in a book, in a piece of clothing, etc.) and create it in the CIN space.
After choosing your colour, and in order to be certain that it is perfect, you can simulate how it will look in the spaces you intend to paint with the help of the brand's Colour Simulator.
"Painting before Painting" also includes colour cards to help you match the colour of your walls with your decorations.
But what you really want to do is test it?
Just take a TESTiT paint sample that you like best and try it out on your wall.
According to Sónia Moreira, Brand and Communication Manager at CIN, "the main aim of CIN's involvement in activities of this kind is to reinforce the closeness of the brand to its consumers, and to position CIN as a specialist in painting.
With the "Painting before Painting" service we are once again making a difference in fostering a close and interactive relationship with our customers and potential customers, by providing them with innovative experiences".
Until 25 April, painting with CIN is easy in Porto, in the central square on floor 0 of NorteShopping.

We were sitting in a coffee shop for my first Living ADDventure® ADHD Coaching session. Not the best place to be when you are constantly crying but because we had agreed to put our personal relationship on hold for the duration of the Coaching doing the sessions at my home was not an option and Dave's office was 50kms away. A coffee shop halfway between was our agreed compromise.
I had seen my psychiatrist and told him I didn't want Ritalin or Concerta at this stage and told Dave that for the first time in my life I was enjoying being the "real whacky me" and I didn't want to take meds that would control my mind. If you have been down this ADHD road you have no doubt said or heard the same thing from ADDers in your life.
For most of my life I had lived in fear - fear of getting into trouble, fear of making mistakes, fear of looking stupid but now I was single again supposedly enjoying my midlife madness where I could do what I want without anyone telling me what to do.
"How am I supposed to Coach you when you are so distracted that you can't focus for longer than 20 seconds?" Dave asked. "Of course I can focus" I retorted. I mentioned in my last post that a typical characteristic of ADHD is that we are very poor at self observation. We don't realise that we are not focusing or the effect we have on others. The Sound of an ADHD Brain clearly shows how distraction affects us.
Using all my feminine and ADHD wiles I persuaded him to continue with the ADHD Coaching Programme and if I found it necessary, I would go onto medication. Yes, we are very good at manipulation. This nearly destroyed our personal relationship with me shouting that I didn't want to be bossed around and Dave trying to be calm saying he couldn't work with me in that state.
Although I am naturally very impulsive I am not good at thinking on my feet. I mull over things, do a bit of research and am frequently forced to eat humble pie.
Just maybe I should give the medication a try. Just to prove Dave wrong ... if nothing else. A month later I went back to the psychiatrist and asked if I could try Concerta and he gave me a prescription.
At the time I was running my tourist guiding business where I had to talk to passengers via a microphone built into my bus while driving at the same time. Fortunately my bus was automatic so I didn't have to worry about gear changing as well.
It took a few weeks but I gradually became far more aware of my driving and how it had improved while on the Concerta. Apologies to those clients who braved my driving before I started on the meds.
OK - I know I shouldn't mention this but I also lost few kilograms which was a bonus. *
*Note: As with all medication each person may react differently and what works for one person may not work for another. Whether it is a pain killer, antibiotic or ADHD medication you and your prescribing medical professional have to act responsibly. Not everyone on Ritalin or Concerta loses weight.
Living ADDventure® provides ACT (Action, Consequence, Trigger) Forms to help adults and children monitor any medication side effects and behavioural changes. These forms which should "follow" the ADDer to work or school or after care become a valuable tool to help the prescribing medical professional to adjust dosages and change medication as necessary. Please login or register on our site and go to our Downloads section to download our ACT Forms free of charge.

Palace to Offers Guided Tours This Fall During Final Stage of Building Rehab
August 12th, 2019
(Santa Fe, New Mexico) -- Beginning this fall, the New Mexico History Museum will offer guided tours of the Palace of the Governors during breaks in construction activity. The tours will allow a rare look at this historic building as it undergoes preservation treatment in support of its continued use as a public museum. (*see below for media resources.)
Beginning on August 30, information about tours will be available at the front desk of the New Mexico History Museum or by calling 505-476-5200.
Rehabilitation of the Palace of the Governors—a National Historic Landmark—is being done to improve protection of the building and its contents, upgrade gallery spaces, and reinforce the building's historic character. Installation of a fire suppression system and new equipment for heating and air conditioning is approaching completion.
Based on current estimates, the remainder of the work will be done by the end of the year. Once rehabilitation is complete, three exhibitions are scheduled for installation over a six-month period.

AbstractTuberculosis treatment remains a challenge due to the need to consider, when approaching it, the context of individual and collective health. In addition, social and economic issues have been shown to be variables that need to be considered when it comes to treatment effectiveness. We conducted a critical review of the national and international literature on the treatment of tuberculosis in recent years with the aims of presenting health care workers with recommendations based on the situation in Brazil and better informing decision-making regarding tuberculosis patients so as to minimize morbidity and interrupt disease transmission.
ResumoO tratamento da tuberculose permanece um desafio em função da necessidade de que, em sua abordagem, seja considerado o contexto da saúde do indivíduo e da saúde coletiva. Adicionalmente, as questões sociais e econômicas têm-se mostrado como variáveis a ser consideradas na efetividade do tratamento. Ao revisarmos de forma crítica a literatura científica nacional e internacional sobre o tratamento da tuberculose nos últimos anos, tivemos como objetivos apresentar aos profissionais da área de saúde as recomendações baseadas na realidade brasileira e fornecer os subsídios necessários para a melhor tomada de decisão frente ao paciente com tuberculose, de modo a minimizar a morbidade e interromper a transmissão da doença Em função disso, o TDO é recomendado.
Keywords: Tuberculosis/drug therapy; Tuberculosis/prevention & control; Tuberculosis/surgery; Tuberculosis/classification.
Palavras-chave: Tuberculose/tratamento farmacológico; Tuberculose/prevenção & controle; Tuberculose/cirurgia; Tuberculose/classificação.
Tuberculosis treatment is aimed at curing and rapidly reducing disease transmission. For this to occur, the drugs used should be able to reduce the bacillary population rapidly (interrupting transmission); prevent selection of naturally resistant strains (avoiding the emergence of drug resistance during therapy); and sterilize the lesion (preventing disease relapse).(1)
Although antituberculosis regimens have an efficacy of up to 95%, treatment effectiveness (patients who are cured at the end of treatment under routine conditions) varies greatly with location, with the national average being around 70% (50-90%). One of the causes of low effectiveness is nonadherence, which can occur at three levels(2,3):
treatment default (patients stop using all medications) or
incorrect medication use (patients use some of the prescribed medications) and/or
irregular medication use (patients take the medications some days of the week but not every day of the week)
Treatment adherence problems are responsible both for treatment failure and for selection of resistant organisms and disease relapse. In order to improve adherence to tuberculosis treatment and restructure health care facilities, the World Health Organization (WHO) has, since the early 1990s, recommended the adoption of the directly observed treatment, short course (DOTS) strategy. The DOTS strategy includes five elements(4,5):
1. Political commitment and financial support to maintain tuberculosis control activities
2. Identification of tuberculosis cases on the basis of sputum smear microscopy among patients with respiratory symptoms
3. A standardized antituberculosis drug regimen administered as directly observed treatment (DOT) for at least the first 2 months of treatment
4. Guarantee of a regular supply of antituberculosis drugs
5 A system for reporting and assessment of treatment results for each patient and for the tuberculosis control program as a whole
Although supervised medication-taking through DOT allows frequent contact between patients and the health care system and favors treatment adherence, systematic reviews have failed to demonstrate greater effectiveness of DOT compared with self-administered treatment.(6-8) This probably occurs because treatment effectiveness is in fact related to several factors (Chart 1) and not only to medication-taking, which is a variable related to patient care.

Recently I've been spending some time with Cucumber and joined the cucumber gitter channel when somebody pointed out that they were having trouble running Cucumber from the command line. I usually run Cucumber from Maven, so I thought it would be interesting to see what was required to run cucumber from the command-line.
At my current project, we're developing an application based on Spring Boot. During my normal development cycle, I always start the application from within IntelliJ by means of a run configuration that deploys the application to a local Tomcat container. Spring boot applications can run perfectly fine with an embedded container, but since we deploy the application within a Tomcat container in our acceptance and production environments, I always stick to the same deployment manner on my local machine.
I've been reading this recent thread on Hacker News with interest. Over the last couple of years (even before being a parent) I gave this a lot of thought and have been asked about how I stay up to date as a software engineer by co-workers quite often. As a software engineer it's important to keep learning and with learning, I don't just mean working with a new technology like Docker or React, but also learning about the concepts behind these technologies and what problems they are trying to solve.
Well this post is long overdue again. February is quite on it's way and it's time to look back at 2015. It was an interesting year for sure and there are more interesting things to come.
Docker. Who hasn't heard about Docker by now? Docker might be the biggest change in how operations and developers run and develop software. As I'm all for improving my own flow of work, I too took the plunge into the Docker ecosystem.

Just before 1:30 today, Thursday, Nov. 14, firefighters responded to a house fire at 33 Ventura Lane in north central Olathe.
It took firefighters only minutes to extinguish the fire. Investigators say a candle ignited a wing back chair, which quickly spread through a living room.
A woman and small children were home at the time of the fire, but safely escaped. No one was injured. Damage is estimated at $70,000.
Firefighters ask everyone to keep lit candles at least three feet away from anything that could burn. Firefighters also say to consider using battery-operated flameless candles, which can look, smell and feel like real candles.

If you're struggling to drink more water every day, make lemon water. Just add lemons, limes or both to water for a refreshing, enjoyable drink. Lemon or lime water adds an elegant touch to a dinner party, and is also a flavorful beverage that you can enjoy throughout the day.
- Prep time: 10 minutes
- Cook time (steeping): 2 to 4 hours
- Total time: 2 to 4 hours, 10 minutes
- 2 lemons or 3 large limes
- 2 quarts (1.9 liters) water
Makes 2 quarts (1.9 liters)
Making Citrus Water
1Chill your pitcher. Put a large glass pitcher in the freezer several hours or up to a day before you plan to make the lemon or lime water. This will keep the water colder for longer. If you're serving the water in a plastic pitcher, there's no need to chill it before hand.
- Chilling the pitcher gives it a frosty look that's perfect for cooling down guests on a hot summer day.
- You can also place glasses in the freezer so that each of your guests has a drink that is as refreshing as possible.
2Wash and slice the citrus. Wash 2 lemons or 3 large limes. Remove any stickers from the fruit and place the citrus on a small cutting board. Use a small knife to carefully slice the fruit into thin slices. You may want to discard the ends of the fruit as well as any seeds.
3Squeeze the lemons and put them in the pitcher. Gently squeeze the lemons (and limes, if you're using them) so they release a little juice and essential oil directly into the chilled pitcher. Don't squeeze them so much that the slices lose their round shape. Place all of the slices in the pitcher.[1]
4Fill the pitcher with water. If you'd like still water, pour in 2 quarts (1.9 liters) of cold, filtered water. If you'd like sparkling water, pour in 1 quart (0.9 liters) of seltzer water. Use a long-handled spoon to stir the citrus slices with the water.[2]
- For sparkling water, you'll add another quart of seltzer just before serving.
5Chill the citrus water. Put the pitcher of citrus water into the refrigerator. Chilling the water will infuse it with the lemon and lime flavors while making it colder. Chill the water for 2 to 4 hours.[3]
- Keep in mind that the flavors of the water will be stronger the longer it chills.
6Remove the lemons and serve the lemon water. Scoop out the lemon slices and consider straining the lemon water through a mesh sieve if you notice seeds. If you want sparkling lemon water, add one more quart (0.9 liter) of seltzer water to the pitcher.Pour the citrus water into serving glasses. Add a few fresh slices of lemon or lime and ice cubes before you serve the drinks.[4]
- Store the lemon water for up to 2 days in the refrigerator.
- You can add fresh water to the sliced lemons that you removed from the pitcher, but the second batch of citrus water may not be as flavorful.
Trying Variations
1Include other fruits. Add a pop of color and bright flavor to your lemon water by adding a handful of fresh berries to the pitcher. Wash the fruit carefully, and if any stems remain, remove them. You can also slice fresh fruit and add it to the pitcher. Consider adding:[5]
- Strawberries
- Pineapple
- Fresh berries (blueberries, blackberries, raspberries)
- Oranges
- Peaches or plums
- Melon (watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew)
2Add vegetables. You can easily make cucumber lemon water by thinly slicing and adding cucumber to your citrus water. The cucumber will stay crisp for hours and can add a refreshing flavor to the water. For a slightly spicy kick, consider slicing jalapenos and adding them to the lemon water.[6]
3Add fresh herbs to the water. Make your lemon water interesting by adding fresh herbs before chilling the water. Gather a handful of fresh herbs and rub them a little between your fingers. This will release flavorful oils. Remember to wash the herbs before you use them.[7]
- Try mint, basil, lavender, thyme, or rosemary.
- You can also add hibiscus flower which will turn the water a soft pink color.
4Sweeten the lemon water. If you dislike the strong flavor of lemon water, you may want to sweeten it a little before you drink it. Keep in mind that adding other fruits (such as strawberries or pineapple) can naturally sweeten the citrus water. Stir in a little honey according to your taste.
- You could also use agave nectar or stir in grated ginger to mask the sour flavor of the water.
Community Q&A
QuestionCan I use lemon juice instead of whole lemons?Community AnswerWhile you could squirt lemon juice directly into water, the water will become cloudy. Many commercial lemon juices contain preservatives or even dyes, so it's best to slice your own citrus for the water.
QuestionIs pouring a cup of water and squirting two drops of lemon into it a good way to make lemon water?Community AnswerTwo drops would give a faint scent. If you want it a little bit sweet and a little bit sour, add a tablespoon of honey and 4-5 drops of lemon.
QuestionWhat ratio of lemon to water do I use for health benefits?Community AnswerYou can put as many lemons in the water as you want. It is just to your taste. Be careful though because lemon is sour and you might need time to get used to this taste.
QuestionHow much lime or lemon water should I drink a day?Community AnswerYou could substitute a little of your normal drink for citrus water. Just be careful of the acid from the fruit on your teeth, and keep drinking your normal water for most of the day.
QuestionIs it safe to drink lemon water all day?Community AnswerIt is good to drink it every once in a while, but your teeth are more vulnerable to damage with the acidity of the lemon, so I wouldn't recommend drinking it constantly.
QuestionIs lemon water good for sore throats?Community AnswerIt won't hurt, but adding honey to it will help soothe your throat.
QuestionCan I use the lemon slices again after making lemon water out of them?Community AnswerYou can, but they won't be as fresh or flavorful.
QuestionIs lemon or lime water safe for someone with bladder cancer?Community AnswerAlways talk with your medical provider about interactions between lemon and medications you are taking. In general, lemon water should be safe for cancer patients to drink.
QuestionCan I add lemon to hot or warm water?Community AnswerYes, you can.
QuestionDoes lemon water help with fat loss or weight loss?Community AnswerThe fact that it's lemon water doesn't, but it makes water more palatable, and research suggests drinking water before a meal can help with weight loss.

The novelization and TV movie adaptation aside, Bobbie Gentry has always said her song, "Ode to Billie Joe" was about "indifference" and the matter-of-fact way the family discussed what had happened. In addition to the many times she's addressed the subject publicly, one of my favorite examples is from this exhaustive page about the song, which quotes the screenplay's author as saying:
Max and I go to meet her, and I ask her what does the song mean?
She said, 'I made it up. I don't know what it means.'
I said, 'You don't know why he jumped off the bridge?'
She said, 'I have no idea.'
BTW: "Max" was the producer of the film, Max Baer Jr., whom most people would recognize as his most famous character, "Jethro Bodine".
In contrast to the sparse staging of Ms. Gentry's performance of "Billie Joe" on The Smothers Brothers Show, here's the video for Reba McEntire's cover of her "Fancy".

Talking Points: what's an acceptable punishment for teenagers?
Compiled by Sam Gusway
Charlie Fan, 16, Pui Kiu College
Temporarily take away something that teenagers value most, for example, their smartphone or laptop. Today's teens actually can't live without these electronic gadgets, so by depriving them of that pleasure, you are sending a serious message.
Faced with this kind of punishment, I don't think they'd do something bad ever again.
Ady Lam, 11, Beacon Hill School
Easy. Many teenagers nowadays can't go even a day without their mobile phone. So, instead of leaving a child in the woods, which is a very silly thing to do, you could just ban your teenager from using their phone for a certain period of time, depending on how bad their behaviour was.
Arora Tanisha, 16, St Margaret's Girls' College
Corporal punishment. This is very harsh but the end result is really positive. It teaches a teenager to understand their limits, and show more discipline in future.
I am aware that a lot of people oppose corporal punishment, but every punishment has its negative side.
Serbuja Belita, 17, St Margaret's Girls' College
First, the teenagers should be told that what they did was wrong. If they do it again, they should be forced to do charity work like helping out at an elderly home for a week. It's a punishment that would benefit society, too, and I am sure the elderly would welcome some extra help with their daily chores.
Rachel Wong, 15, St Stephen's Girls' College
The silent treatment. During this "time-out" period, teenagers should reflect on their wrongdoings and promise to improve their behaviour. Once they've done that, parents should make them earn their privileges and be really strict with them until they are well-behaved.
However, parents definitely shouldn't scold or embarrass their children in public. This will only cause more conflict and lower the children's self-esteem.
In our next Talking Points we'll discuss:
What movie would make a useful addition to your school's curriculum and why?
We are now accepting answers from readers for this new topic. To take part, email your answer with your name, age, and school, along with a nice, clear selfie (make sure it's not blurry) to email@example.com by lunchtime on Monday, June 6. Don't forget to include "Talking Points" in the subject line!
Ahmad Anum, 16, St Margaret's Girls' College, Hong Kong
What teenager would want their personal items or gadgets to be confiscated? As a teenager myself, I wouldn't dream of this. Apart from that, the most mainstream punishment would be grounding, as no one wants to have to stay home for a week or even more. These punishments may seem futile, but at this age, even the smallest thing may irritate teens. Of course, no teen wants to obey rules, so perhaps we should also ask: what is a suitable punishment for adults?
Tawian,17, St Margaret's Girls' College Hong Kong
What better way to discipline a child than talking it out with them. When harsh punishment is the only way you cultivate and develop your child, the right message often gets hazy . The child should be aware as to why they are getting punished rather than being beaten or treated with aggression. That will never solve the issue.
Meagan Remaldora, 18, St Margaret's Girl's College, Hong Kong
A good punishment would be a person to person talk. Talking them about the issue and listening to them seriously will definitely help them learn a lesson as they are aware of their doings.
Sharma Bala, 16, St Margaret's Girls' College, Hong Kong
The worst possible punishment for a teen is without a doubt, having their phone taken away. Their phone is as important as a limb and taking it away will leave them crippled. With no possible way to check Instagram or Facebook, they are sure to succumb to the parents wishes.
Ansar Aneeta, 17, St Margaret's Girls' College, Hong Kong
Making a home-made lucky draw of different types of punishments would be a great idea.The child would not be able to argue or back out since he or she is the one to choose the punishment.This will make the person think twice about what they do the next time.
We can all say No to violence against women and girls
Sharma Vidhi Haresh,16, St Margaret's Girls' College, Hong Kong
The best punishment would be to deprive teens from using electronic gadgets. These have become a big part of our life, so restricting naughty teens' access to electronic gadgets can be an effective light-handed punishment. This would help teens think about their mistakes without any corporal punishment.
Kawaljot Kaur, 17, St Margaret's Girls' College, Hong Kong
If a child commits a mistake, and the parent is able to effectively talk it out and discipline him/her, it's way more effective than punishing the child physically. Corporal punishment would just have a short-term effect, as the child may only remember the pain for a while, and then forget the consequences of doing something wrong. However, if a parent is able to change the habits and correct the wrong, now that's an accomplishment!
Daing Nicole Fleur Mei, 16, St Margaret's Girls' College Hong Kong
What runs through my mind is that corporal punishment would be a rather suitable punishment for naughty teens as they will try to avoid repeating the same mistakes. They may become more disciplined and it will train them to think twice before they act.
Angela Pun, 17, St Margaret's Girls' College Hong Kong
They could establish rules within the household. Certain duties and responsibilities to discipline them. If that does not do the trick, then they have all the rights to carry out corporal punishment. That might get them back to their senses. No matter how old or young teenagers are, slippers and cooking utensils have the ability to scare the daylights out of them.
Armaja Kalpana, 18, St Margaret's Girls' College, Hong Kong
While punishing a naughty teenager, parents should avoid physical/corporal punishment as it will make children think that violating someone physically in an anger or adverse situations is an acceptable reaction. Instead, parents should guide and discipline them to realise their responsibilities. It is always better to communicate with them about their behaviour and its consequences.
Study finds that more than half the children in Hong Kong are beaten in the home
Nimra, 16, St Margaret's Girls' College, Hong Kong
To punish naughty teenagers, taking away privileges like freedom and enjoyment is the best plan of action. This will not physically hurt the teenagers and can be effective, as nowadays the youth has a strong appetite for freedom.
Teenagers would avoid repeating the same mistakes again, and will learn to respect their parents' decisions.
Camille Alconaba, 17, St. Margaret's Girls' College, Hong Kong
For troublesome teenagers, punishing them with violence would be of no use as it could push them into getting into more trouble. Thus, grounding them is the best way. Confiscating their smartphones or setting a curfew could bring discipline to them as they could reflect on their actions while they are not with their gadgets.
Mohammad Maria, 16, St Margaret's Girls' College, Hong Kong
There's always more than one way to skin a cat! Instead of being too harsh, just minimising privileges can be the best punishment for the naughty teens. For instance, not giving them pocket money or anything they want will help them realise their wrong doing and consequently they'll avoid repeating the same mistakes again so they can get what they want. This punishment will not only teach them a lesson, it also won't hurt them physically nor leave any negative childhood memories or shadows of fear.
Gurung Alina, 17, St Margaret's Girls' College, Hong Kong
Preventing teenagers from using their electronic devices is a great way to keep them disciplined. Not being able to use their cellphone can really bother someone. If they cannot use social media or contact their friends, it can make them realise the mistakes and they won't ever repeat it again.
Gurung Agisha, 16, St Margaret's Girls' College
It's almost impossible to know the mindset of teenagers. They point one way and run the opposite way. Sometimes they end up going the wrong way, so how exactly should they be punished? For minor mistakes, reflection on their wrongdoing and apologies. For a larger scale penalty, being grounded or cutting their pocket money would be reasonable.
Nichole Asley Cheng, 16, St Margaret's Girls' College, Hong Kong
Grounding teenagers is the best way to punish them. It is not only effective, but it limits their freedom. Parents' want to nurture their teens to become well-disciplined yet well-mannered adults, and grounding them can help teenagers understand what they have done wrong.
Kamalpreet Kaur, 17, St Margaret's Girls' College, Hong Kong
Punishment as strict as that for adults should be given to teens as well. This can easily decrease the amount of teen delinquency related crimes and fill teens with fear that they will get no mercy if found breaking the law.
Rossa Gurung, 16, St Margaret's Girls' College, Hong Kong
When I was a child, my mum used to hit my palm with a hanger. Now, as a teenager, my parents use their words to make me realise what have I done wrong. So, I guess hitting is the best punishment for children and scolding is the best punishment for teenagers.

2018 Mitsubishi lancer Redesign, Release Date and Price
As one of the earliest cars presently available, the Mitsubishi Lancer appears pretty outdated compared with the competitors. Its follower has been hypothesized concerning for many years currently. However, the business placed an end to these rumors by mentioning that the next-generation Lancer is out of the inquiry. In that respect, do not anticipate the 2018 Mitsubishi Lancer to cause a transformation. Instead, it is because of get a number of light enhancements prior to it goes on sale in late 2017. However, the most lately spied 2018 Mitsubishi ASX loses a new light on the firm's plans. As some resources guess, the brand-new ASX might be the base design for the substitute of the Lancer Evolution. Certainly, we'll be enjoying carefully for any type of new info on that particular topic.
2018 Lancer Redesign
In spite of its seniority, the present Lancer still offers a handsome outside styling. It is one of those sedans that are usually applauded for sharp layout as well as athletic appearances. As for the 2018 Mitsubishi Lancer, anticipate it to provide only a handful of aesthetic updates. Those include brand-new exterior shades in addition to fresh wheel styles. While base designs ought to obtain 16-inch wheels in two-tone style, top trims should include 18-inch alloy wheels. When it pertains to the interior, anticipate the new Lancer to obtain also much less significant enhancements. So, the cabin will once again come brimming with low-grade plastics and a rather bland interior design. The 6.1-inch touchscreen that has actually just recently ended up being standard on all models is amongst this automobile's few strong points. Rumor has it that the upcoming Lancer could gain from additional interior shades. The outgoing model is presently readily available just in black tones.
2018 Mitsubishi Lancer Engine Specs
Expect no dramatic adjustments when it pertains to the 2018 Mitsubishi Lancers mechanical department. It will certainly preserve its present array including 2 four-cylinder powertrains. The familiar 2.0-liter device will crank out 148 horse power as well as 145 pound-feet of torque. The a lot more powerful engine will certainly can be found in the type of a 2.4-liter system providing 168 hp and also 167 lb-ft of torque. The 2.0-liter powertrain will be paired with manual transmission and front-wheel drive. Now, the 2.4-liter alternative will have a constantly variable transmission and also all-wheel drive at its disposal.
We expect the entry level 2018 Mitsubishi Lancer to start at around $18,000. Unfortunately, such a cost will make Mitsubishi's sedan a lot more costly than the similarity Hyundai Elantra and Kia Forte. Despite the reports announcing the 2018 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, this model is more probable to reach a later date.

The judge set the bond at $5 million for the man accused of killing K9 police officer Jethro.
The defendant, 22-year-old Kelonte Demorious Barefield, is probably not going to be able to get out of jail any time soon.
Barefield was arraigned and the judge kept his bond at $5 million dollars, as reported by Fox 8 in Cleveland, Ohio. His hearing occurred on Friday morning, the same day as Jethro's memorial service.
The German Shepherd officer, badge number #60, was shot three times when he and a police officer responded to a burglary alarm early in the morning of January 9 at a food store. Barefield is accused of shooting the K9 Officer Jethro in the face, shoulder, and neck.
The defendant has been charged with aggravated burglary, assaulting or harassing a police dog, felonious assault on a peace officer, and having weapons under disability and shooting on or near a prohibited area, reported Fox 8.
Carmen Roe, a Houston criminal defense lawyer who has served as president of the Harris County Criminal Lawyers Association told Breitbart Texas, "The $5 million dollar bond reflects the outrage of a community who lost a member of law enforcement. Bond amounts are set, in part, to ensure the public safety. Here, I think the judge correctly considered that it is Barefield who may not be safe on the streets of Ohio following charges on five serious felonies, including the intentional killing of Jethro."
Houston criminal defense lawyer, Grant Scheiner, had a different take on the issue. He told Breitbart Texas, "Bond should never be used as a tool of oppression. Its purpose is to protect the community and ensure the defendant's appearance in court. A $5 million bond, even for someone accused of doing something as cruel as this, is beyond the pale."
As reported by Breitbart Texas, Ohio Revised Code 2921.321 provides, "No person shall knowingly cause, or attempt to cause, physical harm to a police dog or horse in either of the following circumstances: (1) The police dog or horse is assisting a law enforcement officer in the performance of the officer's official duties at the time the physical harm is caused or attempted; (2) The police dog or horse is not assisting a law enforcement officer in the performance of the officer's official duties at the time the physical harm is caused or attempted, but the offender has actual knowledge that the dog or horse is a police dog or horse."
If the violation results in the death of the police dog or horse, the assault is a felony of the third degree. If the violation results in serious physical harm to the police dog or horse other than its death, the assault is a felony of the fourth degree. If the violation results in physical harm other than death or serious physical harm, the assault is a misdemeanor of the first degree. Other states have similar statutes. The penalty for a felony of the third degree in Ohio is nine months to three years in a state prison.
Jethro's partner, Canton Police Officer Ryan Davis, told Fox 8 News, "There is no doubt in my mind that I am here because of what he did." The officer said he has had Jethro since he was eight weeks old and feels like a part of him is missing. He was presented the American flag that had been on Jethro's casket.
As reported by Breitbart Texas, the memorial for Jethro was broadcast live on Fox8 News in Ohio. Hundreds came from all over to attend the service at the Canton Civic Center in Canton, Ohio. Over 100 K9 officers walked alongside their partners and the barks of the K9s were emotionally wrenching. Governor John Kasich ordered flags to fly half-staff in honor of the K9.
Kristi Schiller, founder of K9s4COPs immediately reached out to the Canton Ohio Police Department to offer condolences and to ask what her foundation could do to supplement the K9 unit. She said, "K9s4COPs knows K9 Jethro can never be replaced, he was very special and will be remembered as one of a kind. K9s4COPs intends to supplement the Ohio agency so their ability to fight crime does not become an issue," Schiller told Breitbart Texas in an interview.
K94COPS, a non-profit based in Houston, Texas, places trained canines with law enforcement agencies that are hard pressed to fund their canine units due to budget constraints. Since its inception, Schiller's organization has gifted an excess of 100 canines in 29 states and twelve schools. Most recently K9s4COPs granted a dog to Paris, France, when K9 Diesel lost his life in the November terrorist bombing attack.
K9 officer Krijger, from the Norfolk, Virginia Police Department, was shot and killed by an armed subject just a day after Jethro died. The shooting occurred during a barricade situation at a residential home where there had been a domestic violence call. After barricading his home for approximately seven hours, the man exited his home and refused to obey police orders to drop his gun. The man opened fire on the officers and he shot and killed K9 officer Krijger. The memorial service for Krijger has been set for January 19.

There's something so satisfying about watching your kids eat, don't you think?
I mean when they really tuck in and all you can hear is munching sounds, punctuated by the occasional 'Mmmmmmm!'. Which pretty much described our visit to YO SUSHI! (currently rebranding as Yo! – I'll tell you why later) this week.
We'd been invited to our local restaurant to celebrate the fact kids can eat free from the Mini Ninja's Meal Deal menu until the end of summer.
Big Sis and I had actually eaten here a few weeks earlier and were itching to go back, but I wasn't sure how well Lil Sis would cope with such a drastic change to her usual culinary routine. Lil Sis is our resident picky eater – you know, the kind that samples new food by barely touching it with her tongue before announcing: 'I DON'T LIKE IT!'
But Big Sis and I were really excited, so I figured she could make do with some rice and I'd get her something else to eat when we got home. We arrived at the restaurant towards the end of the lunchtime rush: diners were seated around the iconic open kitchen while the chefs busied themselves over clanking plates and steaming pans.
We were seated at a booth, and handed our menus. 'The cold dishes are set down on the conveyor belt so just grab them as they go past, while the hot dishes will be made to order and handed straight to you,' our server explained. 'If there's anything you can't see, just push this button on your table and we'll come right over and place the order for you.'
The girls both ordered from the Mini Ninja Meal Deal, which offers two courses and a fruit juice or unlimited water. Big Sis chose line-caught tuna maki (small rice rolls, wrapped in seaweed) and tender chicken katsu bao bun, while Lil Sis opted for the crunchy cucumber maki and tangy veggie yakisoba noodles.
If you order before 2 September you can get one free kid's meal for every £10 you spend, so even if this hadn't been a review visit the girls' meal would both have been complimentary. Bargain, huh?!
On my last visit here I'd stuck with traditional sushi dishes I already knew – California and soft shell crab rolls (amazing!), sashimi and edamame beans, while Big Sis fell hard for the spicy chicken rolls. But this time I wanted to be more adventurous and I'm so glad I did.
You may have already noticed that the restaurant chain has been rebranding itself simply as 'Yo!'. This is because they're trying to get the message out that they're not just about sushi – in fact, they have a wide range of hot, delicious dishes, including a selection of tasty Japanese food for children. Luckily, I'd checked out their menu online beforehand, so I'd managed to narrow my choices down a little (otherwise we would have been there a LONG time while I decided).
I choose spicy pepper squid, chicken chahan (sushi rice stir-fried with chicken, vegetables and shichimi chilli powder), cod nanbanzuke (crispy-fried cod bites in a sweet and sour sauce) and furikake fries (fries coated in sriracha mayo). No more than 15 minutes later the dishes were on our table, steaming hot and smelling divine.
One word: WOW.
Seriously, two days later I'm still dreaming about how delicious these dishes were. The squid was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and seasoned with just right mix of saltiness and umami. The chahan was packed full of flavour, and the sushi rice meant it was softer and fluffier than fried rice dishes I'd tried in the past. And the cod… star of the day! Sweet and tangy with a slightly crunchy, almost caramelised, outer layer.
It's all freshly made in the open kitchen, and much more nutritious and low calorie than other child-friendly options (to give you an example, the cod nanbanzuke dish has 175 calories, while a Big Mac has 508).
I'm literally counting the moments until I can go back and order this again. In fact, I already have a list of dishes I want to try next time, including popcorn shrimp (tempura prawns drizzled with a sweet shiro miso & chilli sauce), chicken karaage (crunchy-fried chicken marinated in soy and sake served with mayo) and beef teriyaki (crispy slices of beef in a sticky garlic & soy glaze with a fresh chilli).
Big Sis was in heaven trying the different dishes and even – to my great surprise – Lil Sis got in on the action, polishing off her cucumber maki, most of my spicy pepper squid AND demolishing a pile of sticky sushi rice cubes that our server had specially brought her. Trust me when I tell you this is almost a miracle.
We finished our meal with custard doriyaki plucked from the sushi train and dipped in the most amazing raspberry sauce; the perfect finale to our guilt-free lunch.
Thanks again to Yo! for inviting us to sample their 'Kids Go Free' menu – get to your nearest restaurant before the promotion ends on 2 September to enjoy it for yourself.
