Objective To assess parental permission for a neonate's research participation using the MacArthur competence assessment tool for clinical research (MacCAT-CR), specifically testing the components of understanding, appreciation, reasoning and choice.
Study Design Quantitative interviews using study-specific MacCAT-CR tools.
Hypothesis Parents of critically ill newborns would produce comparable MacCAT-CR scores to healthy adult controls despite the emotional stress of an infant with critical heart disease or the urgency of surgery. Parents of infants diagnosed prenatally would have higher MacCAT-CR scores than parents of infants diagnosed postnatally. There would be no difference in MacCAT-CR scores between parents with respect to gender or whether they did or did not permit research participation.
Participants Parents of neonates undergoing cardiac surgery who had made decisions about research participation before their neonate's surgery.
Methods The MacCAT-CR.
Results 35 parents (18 mothers; 17 fathers) of 24 neonates completed 55 interviews for one or more of three studies. Total scores: magnetic resonance imaging (mean 36.6, SD 7.71), genetics (mean 38.8, SD 3.44), heart rate variability (mean 37.7, SD 3.30). Parents generally scored higher than published subject populations and were comparable to published control populations with some exceptions.
Conclusions The MacCAT-CR can be used to assess parental permission for neonatal research participation. Despite the stress of a critically ill neonate requiring surgery, parents were able to understand study-specific information and make informed decisions to permit their neonate's participation.

that's hands down the prettiest office ever. I would try to get a transfer there 😉
Oslo Office
Took some time out of my holiday schedule to go visit our Oslo office. I was told that the office was very pretty. When I got there, what can I say, the pictures speak for themselves. LOVE the Scandinavian design!
Looks like an embassy of some sort!
Is this not a room transported out from some palace?
Lovely meeting room, so bright and cheery
There is an apple tree at the back of the office!!

Texas Does Not Have Standardized Students
Katie Plemmons is a young teacher from Del Valle ISD. She works 50-60 hour weeks, spending money out of her pocket for classroom supplies. And in a wonderful opinion piece, she articulates the challenges of being a teacher in Texas.
From her op-ed, titled, "The Heartbreak of Being a Teacher in Texas":
At Del Valle High School, our contract hours are 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., but we stay until 5:30 p.m. once a week to tutor. We arrive early to prepare our classrooms. We stay late or take work home to update grades, perfect lessons and prepare activities. We stay later for athletic events, fine arts performances and parent meetings. We work at least one day most weekends.
When you work with students every day, you learn that each one is unique. We do not have standardized students, and recognizing the challenges each student deals with requires experience, time and individual attention, which are in short supply in an era of standardized testing and crowded classrooms. Teachers must navigate these challenges while meeting the demands of our school's unique culture.
We are bleeding experienced educators who create a school community, and if we do not stanch the wound, students will suffer.
Plemmons isn't exaggerating when she says Texas is bleeding experienced educators. For the first time in Texas's history, more teachers left Texas' schools in 2011-2012 than were hired - thanks to cuts that Greg Abbott is now defending in court.
We encourage you to read the full piece by Katie Plemmons. And the next chance you get - thank a teacher for what they do.

Au Pair, Kansas is a feature film about a recently widowed woman who hires a Norwegian soccer player to come to a small town in Kansas to be a male au pair and help her raise her two sons. Part drama, part comedy (a romantic dramedy), with shades of European magical realism, it deals with the recent personal loss of all four main characters and how a soccer ball can change sadness into laughter and create a big and sometimes happy family.
Written by JT O'Neal during his last semester in the prestigious MFA in screenwriting program at UCLA, Au Pair, Kansas was created specifically for and stars Håvard Lilleheie, a top young Norwegian film and TV star. JT met Havard at Cinequest, the San Jose Film festival, where Håvard starred in the opening night feature film, United, and another of JT's feature scripts was a finalist in their screenplay competition. United would end up being the top grossing home-produced film in Norway in 2003. Totally amazed at Håvard's incredible screen presence, JT vowed to create an English-speaking part for this phenomenally funny and charismatic actor.
The problem was how to find a story where Håvard could speak English. The solution was to make him a male au pair from Norway, and to bring him to a small town called Lindsborg, a Swedish community in the plains of Kansas! Thus begat Au Pair, Kansas. Add to the mix the grieving mom, Helen, the ghost of her dead husband, her two yodeling sons, a nudist piano teacher, a Latino drag queen, a horny football coach, his butch ex-wife sheriff, a high school hotty, an eighty year-old Swedish gnome, and you've got a soccer team. And toss in a herd of buffalo (Helen lives on a bison ranch).
Au Pair, Kansas was shot in and around Lindsborg, Kansas, using existing locations, and was shot on the incredible new Red One digital camera. The script for Au Pair, Kansas has been compared to the recent indie hit, Little Miss Sunshine (which won Academy Awards for both screenwriting and best supporting actor.) Both deal humorously with dysfunctional families, death, maturing, and coming together for a common goal. It's also similar to Junebug (another recent indie hit that got an Academy Award nomination for best supporting actress), a hilarious fish out of water story set in small town America.
Au Pair, Kansas is a funny, touching, and heart-felt story. It was shot in Kansas, with many Kansas cast and crew members, but also features a young Scandinavian star and thus has European appeal, and the lead actress is the amazing Traci Lords!

Will corporations never learn that sending their executives on wilderness retreats won't boost their leadership skills and might even unleash "something base and elemental and almost primitive," as Jane Harper puts it in FORCE OF NATURE (Flatiron, $25.99)? That's what happens when five female employees of a chic little firm of accountants in Melbourne, Australia, go on a team-building hike in the rugged bush and come back one executive short. The missing soul, Alice Russell, is an argumentative bully ("Alice could start a fight in an empty room," one colleague recalls), and her teammates must heroically resist the temptation to leave her stranded.
Harper, who likes to toy with plotting, uses dual chronologies here, one in real time and the other in bush time, encouraging tensions to build until the restraints of civilization snap, giving way to bare-knuckle fights and worse. Some of this savagery can be blamed on the punishing environment, a menacing landscape of rain-soaked woodland and snake-infested underbrush, with a raging river down below.
To make this hike from hell even more unnerving, a storm forces the women to take cover in a cabin with a grisly connection to a serial killer. The man is dead, but his son is still alive. This only adds to the tensions that already exist in the group, which includes squabbling twins, a secret informant and not one but two mothers whose daughters are being cyber-bullied.
All of the novel's characters have been drawn with exceptional complexity, and none more so than Aaron Falk, the federal agent investigating the case who fears that Alice's undercover work delving into her firm's dodgy financial practices may have been discovered. So much more than a conventional detective, the reflective and compassionate Falk provides the book's moral compass. He respects the forces of nature and heeds the messages his father jotted down on his hiking maps: "Not safe in winter. Take care. … Tread carefully. Danger here."
Nasty, vicious, ruthless. That's the way we like our legal mysteries, so THE PLEA (Flatiron, $26.99) fits the bill. Steve Cavanagh's hero, Eddie Flynn, has taken to the profession with the same relish he showed for his previous work as a con man. A New York defense attorney with the dregs of the earth as clients, Flynn is living out of his office when a C.I.A. operative arrives with an offer he can't refuse: Lean on a client to plead guilty and cut a deal, a move for which Flynn will collect a fee of $100,000. The problem is, Flynn doesn't believe his client, David Child, is guilty of murdering his girlfriend. Could someone be framing him in order to steal his design for a security system that can be misused for laundering dirty money? The impressive legal maneuvering pays off in a centerpiece courtroom drama that Flynn describes as "Vegas time." But a lot of his showmanship is pure flimflam, meant to dazzle his audience. After all, as Robert Frost once said, "A jury consists of 12 persons chosen to decide who has the best lawyer."
The marshland setting of Christobel Kent's psychological thriller THE DAY SHE DISAPPEARED (Sarah Crichton/Farrar, Straus & Giroux, $27) holds a "particular magic" for an old man named Victor, who appreciates the desolate beauty of this bleak spot "where the sea turned into a river." Victor's less enchanted neighbors are more likely to turn their backs on the view and crowd into a pub like the Bird in Hand, where the mood is cheery and the barmaids, Nat and Beth, are pretty and friendly. But when Beth fails to show up for work, Nat is the only one who cares enough to look for her.
Kent doesn't play games with the whodunit plotting, and the novel's water imagery is properly eerie. But her higher aim is to expose the blunt social prejudice against attractive young women like Nat and Beth. "Good riddance, I say," one old biddy curses the missing barmaid. "They need to learn, women like that," she adds. With neighbors like this, who needs a serial killer?
When people speak of Albany, they usually mention the daunting weather. And there's a lot of weather in Robin Oliveira's WINTER SISTERS (Viking, $27). This stunning mystery is set back in 1879, when New York's capital city is hit by a blizzard that buries the parents of 10-year-old Emma and 7-year-old Claire and hurls the girls into the streets. Dr. Mary Stipp, who ministers to prostitutes, makes it her mission to find the missing girls. But evil men get to them first, and it takes another violent act of nature — a raging flood — to flush them out of their basement prison. Rescuing Emma from rapists is even more of a challenge because the age of consent in this not-so-enlightened era is 10. Oliveira writes with feeling about social issues like abortion and prostitution, and her grasp of causes like women's suffrage is firm. Like many others, Dr. Stipp has found that the freedoms she enjoyed during the Civil War quickly vanished in its aftermath. "Therein lay the advantage of wartime," she notes. "Men were too busy killing one another to take heed of women's activities."

The Tube Mill control from IKA is a batch mill with disposable grinding chambers. This avoids cross-contamination and eliminates the need for cleaning. The grinding chamber and the cover are made of transparent material to allow observation of grinding tests at any time. The IKA Tube Mill control can be used for grinding hard (up to 5 on the Mohs hardness scale), brittle and dry materials. This batch mill is particularly suitable for grinding seeds (e.g. maize or wheat).

I think we can label these under "things that make you go... aww" :)
I should have put a quarter or something for scale, they are all quite small. Especially the green on top of the green and pink one. It was meant for a preemie but it's probably too small for any baby. The pink and green I gave to a friend before they left NC and is made of some of the softest yarn ever.
Then I made this crochet set meant to for twins, but the twins got too big by the time my mom would have given them away. Still, they ended up going to a cute baby and were used in a photo-shoot! (I would share the picture, but I don't know the mom personally and I would have to ask for permission. Maybe later.)
Making these hats was so fun once I got the hang of it!
There might be more baby-centered projects in my future since plenty of my friends have or will be having offspring soon. I am also happy to take commissions, I have a lot of baby yarn left. (Except the rainbow yarn; I have dibs on that forever, lol.)
Ahh the miracle of life and tiny hands :)
Thanks for reading ♥

Since starting and becoming Gourmand Chic I learned many aspects of food I never learnt before. A whole new world opened up to me. As of recently, since working on testing out my recipes for my future cookbook to be published, I have played around with photography (using my Nikon D60) and found out through my research that there are dirty dirty tricks people use to make their food look appetizing. I found out that food photography is 80% of the success of a cookbook and not so much the taste itself. If it looks appealing, it sells! Who cares if it even tastes good as long as it looks good right?
Food is among the more difficult of subjects for photographers. Imagine trying to make every dish look hot when it is actually cold…or cold when it actually isn't anymore. How do you bring out the colors of your ingredients? How can we make sauce look good without looking like…sauce? Yes, many many questions you may ask.
Well, here are some tips I learned and would like to share with you. I admit it, I did NOT come up with all these tips by myself or I'd be a famous blogger/vlogger already. But we can all certainly learn from each other and I love to learn. So here it is, tips to help your food look tasty and fresh.
Motor oil, as a stand-in for unphotogenic syrups.
Glycerin, along with various sizes of artist's paintbrushes (to make seafood look like it was just caught that morning) and a misting bottle (to spritz lettuce salads, giving them that just-picked-and-rinsed look).
Cotton balls, which, when soaked and microwaved, perform quite nicely in creating the illusion of steaming-hot foods.
Spray deodorant, which gives grapes that desirable frosty veneer.
Hairspray, which can give (the appearance of) new life to a drying-out slab of cake.
Spray fabric protector, to prevent the motor-oil syrup from soaking into the pancake, which has bursting blueberries artfully pinned to it in an aesthetically pleasing, yet random, scattering (still hungry?).
Toothpicks, to hold unruly sandwiches together and tease out perfect crumbs from hot (wink wink) muffins.
Tweezers, for looping noodles in the stir fry and rearranging miniscule yet crucial crumbs.
Large syringe, to emulate the effect of a padded bra by squirting mashed potatoes under the skin of poultry before it is torch-cooked to give it a deliciously voluptuous appearance.
Brown shoe polish, so raw meat appears to be just-out-of-the-roaster succulent.
Smoke pellets or incense sticks, which can stand in for steam as long as they are lightly fanned so their smoke disperses, avoiding the appearance of a lit cigarette laying behind the pot pie.
White glue, used instead of milk for cereal photos and for pie repair (that would be the pie actually filled with mashed potatoes, where a serving-sized piece is cut out, with the resulting opening's edges slathered with lemon custard or rhubarb-strawberry filling).
Paper towels, which, when artistically torn into blob shapes, can make gooey syrups stick to the top of ice cream, which may really be a concoction of powdered sugar and shortening.
Sturdy cardboard squares, used to make little raw (except for the blow-torched edges) ground beef-patty-platforms (with the help of the toothpicks) to keep the fatty patties from mooshing the frilly lettuce. A few strategically placed hat pins and voila! The world's perfect hamburger. (Note: Bun selection is a critical part of the set-up process; photographers have been known to glue sesame seeds in too-bare spaces.)
I guess the idea of good food isn't always the taste, looks can be deceiving too! So try out some of these tips and be on your way to being a professional food stylist. Yes, there is such a job.

Woman arrested for stinking up bathroom and closing down restaurant
CEDAR RAPIDS, IA – Police and fire-paramedics were called to a restaurant when it had to close its doors early on Tuesday evening after a woman spent 45 minutes in the bathroom causing 'unbearable, inhuman stench'.
The 34 year old woman kicked open the restaurant doors, shouting "out of the way, I'm prairie-dogging!" and ran through the dining area, which was at capacity.
"We were so crowded, people were waiting up to two hours for a table," says the hostess. "In comes this crazy woman, already smelling like she dumped her pants, running towards the bathroom."
One customer adds, "I couldn't breathe. I knew she was in there blasting fudge monkeys, but the smell was toxic. I had to take my son to the hospital, they thought he was exposed to sulphur. This woman is a monster, human beings are not capable of something so foul."
The first responding firefighters had to go in with oxygen tanks. "Never in my 30 years on the job have I seen anything so rancid," states the Fire Chief. "It was dangerous sending my guys in there, but we had to rescue the 200+ people trapped and unable to move. These men are heroes."
The woman was arrested for domestic terrorism and held on $4 000 000 bail.

I call bullshit….this is not true – if you have ever had an incident where you could not hold it any longer you know and it's not domestic terrorism(that is what makes me call bullshit).
Denise? Is this you? You always did stink!!!
Wesley Horton
Too damn funny, but someone. . what the hell is " prairie-dogging!"
Have you ever seen the movie "rat race?" Haha this is going to sound gross but…… it's when your poop is poking in and out of your you know what.. sorry for having to be the one to explain this to you but you asked. Smh
lol You know a little prairie dog will pop his little head out of the ground? Well, when the little poo poo does that we call it "prairie doggin'". 🙂 lol
Prairie dogging I when your fecal matter is trying to come out, but you stop it as the tip starts coming out. Basically, it is popping in and out of your butt!!
Crazy Rebecca

I was attracted to read the story because of the shock value. And that's what I got. Personally- why do we need to care if it happened? I need to laugh at things that are likely to not happen – but just thinking about if perhaps this did/could happen, makes my problems seem minuscule. It gives me gratitude. (we as a society complain about all the negativity on the news) and I feel like the writer is just trying to lighten our spirits during difficult times. Thank you writer, I appreciate your humor and efforts. *imagine if we used all our passionate opinions about this – as a team – uniting to fix a real problem* That's what I'm talking about. 🙂 ~Fawn~
It can happen. The "soaked" which can adhere to the intestines can sometimes release and wow! Empty out a two story building. It can be very intense.
I simply cannot say that the message is false. I have been in a place where the smell was so very bad so very strong it actually took your breath. Strong sulphur smell. Evacuation was the only escape.
How can you charge some one with domestic terrorism and place them on a 4 million dollar bound for taking a shit! This is unbelievable.
LOL, this has to be false, her bond was 4 million dollars!
Why is shit tapered at the end?
So your asshole don't slam shut!!
Willy Maykit
This isn't the last time Hillary will be arrested for stinking up a room. It's real cute they way the writer avoided mentioning her by name and used a generic photo of a woman. Coward.
The article is very good. It provided a layer of realism in that everyone reading it has at least once in their life emptied the tank to the great dismay of others, up to and including the family pets. I know back when i was a heavy beer drinker and sausage eater, my dog was ashamed of me. I often had to talk and coax him into going for a walk with me.
Michael Castro
It's not real. It's a humor site.mja
Wow!! Thank you, professor. Obviously you read the article and surmised it was satire, but yet failed to see the satire in my response. Do us all a favor, realize when you are reading the comments on this site, we ALL know the article is satirical, OK?? You are not smarter than any of us!! In fact, quite the opposite is true.
Real or not fantastic writing. I took 10 minutes to read a three paragraph bit great shit even if Bullshit.
I laughed my ass off for Ten Minutes. It's OBVIOUS Satire, but I guess it must be true, otherwise they wouldn't let you put it on the Internet.
;-/ <– For the snarky impaired
Obvious satire? What is it satiring?
I'd date her
Some call this satire… I call this a sad attempt at "creative" writing. The writers pull a story straight out of their asses & ironically the story freaking stinks! Satire usually would have some sort of profound "statement" or something to point out about our day to day lives whilst doing so in a humorous, yet ironic manner… These stories are just all a made up load of crap that hold no baring on reality what so ever & 98% of anyone with a brain knows it's total bullshit. I'm inclined to think that the people that post as if they believe it's true are somehow being ironic themselves. This site needs better writers!!! Just so you know, I'm available for the right price!!
John Blernt
Thanks, Lori. To your point please email us a copy of your updated resume, emphasizing the humorous, yet ironic stories you've written to date. Nothing too funny, please, as this would violate our publication standards. Oh, and for the record, we think it's great that you're inclined to think. Talk about exceeding expectations…
Christopher Lee Hartsock
I doubt anyone could match the unbridled humor of a poop story.
Target demographic of ten-year-olds?
Michael Castro
Not with her spelling "skills" or her inability to know the difference between irony and satire.
People who think this article is real need to be systematically removed from the gene pool. Idiots.
just like the jews
Captain America
Idiot! You know I hope whatever race or religion you belong to they decide to exterminate you next! You have no idea of the horror Hitler put the Jews through and I don't say this often but I really hope something horrible happens to you because you're a horrible excuse for a human being and you deserve some really bad karma for making idiotic comments like that! I hope some Jew comes knocks on your door and kicks your ass to teach you a lesson. Go Fuck Yourself up the ass with the biggest dildo they make you sick fuck!
May you find yourself naked and alone at 3 AM in the middle of East St. Louis. That's about the worst curse I can wish upon you, you walking piece of sh**.
You have not been to Weat Texas since my oldest daughter had her Weight loss surgery. She can run everyone out of the house even with the exhaust fans on. When she has to go she has to go. When she passes gas it's just as bad.
This article is bullshit. 4 million in bsil for taking a shit? They don't give murderers or rapists that much. Piss poor. Boooooo.
police should have something better to do this sound so stupid
Karl Hubrath
One customer adds, "I couldn't breathe. I knew she was in there blasting fudge monkeys, but the smell was toxic. I had to take my son to the hospital, they thought he was exposed to sulphur. This woman is a monster, human beings are not capable of something so foul."
People, I think that this guy is an idiot, just saying, God bless.
Charles Hammond
God also bless the people who are so benighted as to think this article describes something that actually happened.
Karl Hubrath
People, please, he had to take his kid to the hospital? LMAO. People, even if the kid got sprayed with a skunk, why would he have to go to the hospital? People, I think she is a very beautiful young lady and if I were 30 years younger…. Anyway, I am not sooooo. God bless you beautiful tinky Prairie dog.
I've heard that term prairie dogging before…have also heard "I'm crowning"
You're post are so full of crap. You make this stuff up. No one is gonna run through a restaurant yelling stuff like that. Go get a real job!!!!!
People are the most crybaby people in this world arrested u people need to be arrested for acting like babies u should see what people do to ur food in restaurants so next time u order food make sure u check it I had a friend that cooked and when they toke it back for something he use to rub it in dish water it funny I think
the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues.
synonyms: mockery, ridicule, derision, scorn,
Umm this can happen my friend expireinced a similar story at her friends bar the dude emptyed the
Mug shot real, story fake and funny. I no this chick!
You really know her?! Noooo way!! Why would they post up her pic with this fucked up story
Chris Madden
Come on people, who hasn't down a Donald Trump size dump once in a while?
At first I thought it was my wife but then I saw what state it happened in and I was like ok at least I don't have to bail the stinky bitch out. And for those of you who say this isn't real come on down to south Texas and take a whiff after my wife has been in the sh$tree for an hour. Then you will say it could happen.
I actually heard this exact story on the radio about a week ago. They suggested that it WAS real. It just goes to show how fake the media is…
Todd James
I'm glad they caught her–she's known for releasing methane in such concentrations so as to store it and create deadly explosives that rival the power of an H-Bomb. She even had plans to fart in Times Square thereby killing millions.
Dave Collis
This is not real. I cannot believe how gullible people are
Todd James
Yeah guy, that's the point of satirical news sites Ok? Are you going to The Onion next to point out that it's not real?
Yeah, right. And next you'll try to tell us Pro Wrestling isn't real.
;-/ <– for the snarky impaired.
Travis Rowland
I hear she was working with the notorious Isis terrorists I-bin Pharteen and U-Bin Pharteen… as well as their fixer Izheet Mi-Draus.
Dave, did you know that if you say "gullible" real slow it sounds like "orange"?

When heading to the gym isn't your favorite thing, you might be on the hunt for the best diet pills for weight loss without exercise. After all, anything you can do to be able to drop the pounds without having to get sweaty all the time can be awfully appealing. The truth of the matter is that any diet does need to include exercise.
However, when you have the right weight management diet pills and eating strategy on your side, you can get the most out of every bit of exercise you do. That way, even if you want to do the minimum amount of exercise, you can maximize your results.
It's important not to think of diet pills for weight loss without exercise as something that will actually replace a workout. That's not what they're designed to do. Instead, they're meant to help you lose weight even during the times you're not at the gym.
Think of those great capsules and tablets as extra tools in your weight loss toolkit, not a workout replacement product. Otherwise, you risk suffering unwanted side effects, weight loss that is far slower than necessary, and poor overall health.
At this point, you might be asking yourself whether or not you should believe claims made by diet pills for weight loss without exercise. Reputable products offer support regardless of whether or not you're active at the time. That said, many products will claim that you don't have to exercise at all. Don't trust the claims in that second category.
Any company telling you that you don't need to take fitness into consideration isn't doing you any favors. In fact, they're likely trying to get you to buy their product just to take your money, not to help you. Look for products that will help to support your efforts. That way, when you drag yourself to the gym, pool or out on a walk, you'll get the most out of it.
If you want to work out as little as possible and still lose weight, there are certain pills that may be best for you. To be certain of which products will best suit you, be sure to speak with your doctor. That way, you can know you're taking a product that is safe for you. It can also help you to know you're choosing something that will live up to your weight loss expectations.
The following are some of the most popular diet pills for weight loss without exercise. Have a look at what they each have to offer and whether or not they might be helpful to you.
• PHENBLUE – This over the counter product is often used as an alternative to prescription diet drugs such as Phentermine. That said, it differs from Phentermine in many ways. Among them is the fact that it contains a patented ingredient called NeOpuntia, which has been clinically researched as a fat binder. Phentermine is a stimulant and does not function by blocking dietary fat absorption.
This pill is manufactured in the United States and along with the NeOpuntia it contains, it also provides a complete formula to support weight management. Among the top effects users have said they enjoy from this product is its energizing effect. Therefore, if you hate to exercise, this product can provide you with an ingredient studied as a fat binder as well as a formula that will support the other efforts you're making too. That helps to explain why many people see it as one of the best diet pills for weight loss without exercise.
• Alli – This is also an over the counter pill. In this case, it contains a fat binder called orlistat. In higher doses, that substance is a prescription drug. However, in alli, this substance is dosed far lower in order to help keep the side effects to a minimum and make it safer for more casual dieters to use. Each capsule contains 60 mg of orlistat. In that way, while it does contain a fat binder that is the only benefit it claims to provide.
This can make it an appealing option for people who are not seeking additional energy or other weight management benefits. It may also help people who are sensitive to stimulants as it does not contain any.
• Xenical – This is among the most popular prescription diet pills for weight loss without exercise. It is available only through your doctor. It is a fat binder and works by blocking some of the dietary fat you consume from being absorbed by your body. This stops the calories from being absorbed and makes it easier to control the impact of dietary fats.
That said, it is typically prescribed only to dieters who have obesity as it comes with the risk of several side effects. Moreover, while it is one of the most common diet pills for weight loss without exercise, that doesn't mean it does all the work. When prescribing this drug, most doctors will also recommend a certain eating and fitness strategy. This pill therefore does not replace exercise or healthy eating. Instead, it helps the dieter to get better results than they naturally would.
Once you choose the right tablet or capsule to help you maximize your results, you need a strategy. After all, if you don't have a weight loss strategy in place, you won't see much difference. Furthermore, you'll place yourself at risk of very unpleasant side effects.
Think of it: a fat blocker stops some dietary fats from being absorbed by your body. This means that the fats you don't digest will be sent out with the rest of your waste. Therefore, if you continue eating way too much fat, all the excess will have to go somewhere.
The result of overeating dietary fats while taking a fat blocker is side effects. This can include cramps, gas, diarrhea, nausea, oily stool and many more unpleasant and possibly embarrassing effects. Therefore, make sure you're following a good strategy carefully when taking diet pills for weight loss without exercise.
Your doctor will likely guide you to eat a healthy, balanced, reduced fat diet. At the same time, you should start keeping up exercise appropriate to your fitness level. This will help to make sure you're burning body fat, not just blocking dietary fat.
Even if you think you hate exercise, you still need to move around. For most people, that means a half hour per day, most days of the week. Fortunately, that doesn't mean a gym membership is necessary.
Instead, do something that gets your heart rate up, that lets you move around and, preferably, that lets you get some fresh air. Try going for a brisk walk every day. If that doesn't work in your schedule, go for two fifteen minute brisk walks. It's just as good for you!
That way, you'll be burning fat while you walk. Then, when you're at work or home, you'll have diet pills for weight loss without exercise to help. You'll keep up your metabolism while reducing the impact of the foods you're eating.
This is typically considered to be one of the most positive, helpful and achievable weight management strategies. The reason is that it helps you to build the right habits for the long term. Therefore, once you burn away the excess fat, you'll be more likely to keep it off. After all, you'll have established the active, healthy lifestyle you need to keep the pounds from coming back.
Even when you're taking diet pills for weight loss without exercise, doctors will tell you it's not the weight loss that makes you successful. The success is in losing the weight and keeping it off for good.

Polynesian Pop
How Tiki became an American dream
Urban islands and bamboo hideaways set the stage for a pop culture phenomenon like no other. In mid-century America, the imaginative appeal of Tiki penetrated fashion, music, eating, drinking, and architecture.
Tiki Pop traces the development of Tiki as romantic vision and cultural appropriation. Follow Tiki from James Cook's first Pacific Island expeditions, through Gauguin's exotic paintings, Hollywood jungle fantasies, and elaborate temples erected to celebrate Tiki as the god of recreation. With hundreds of images, Tiki the pop icon unfolds from its earliest, enthusiastic beginnings to its spectacular downfall in the dawning awareness of the Western world's colonial misdeeds.
This book is the culmination of the extensive research of Sven Kirsten, urban archaeologist, Tiki sage, and author of earlier TASCHEN books, The Book of Tiki and Tiki Modern, which first recovered the figure of Tiki from obscurity. In his widely lauded graphic style, Kirsten places venerable ancient godheads next to their Polynesian pop counterparts, movie posters next to matchboxes, comic strips next to Robinson Crusoe illustrations. The result is at once a visual feast, a piece of cultural history, and a tribute to a very particular vision of paradise.
"A warm Polynesian wind that traces America's facination with Pacific culture."
— The Sunday Enterprise, Massachusetts
The author:
Sven Kirsten was conceived on a freighter of his grandfather's Hamburg-Chicago Line. Following the call of the big world, he moved to California at the age of 25. Kirsten studied at the American Film Institute in Los Angeles and began shooting music videos in the late 1980s for The Cramps, Tom Waits, Sergio Mendes and others. After years of hunting down pieces of the puzzle of Polynesian Pop, Kirsten has developed a singular insight into the Cult of Tiki and has become the country's most eminent Tiki archaeologist.

The best new car deals available for March
Today we have been doing a big of research and have found potentially five of the very best new car deals available to you as the customer on the road right now. We have found four vehicles that have an excellent reputation here in the United Kingdom and have all proven to be flagship bearers in their class. These deals are all available on pay monthly agreements and the first car up to make the cut today comes to us courtesy of Mercedes Benz.
Mercedes are now planning for the launch of their next E Class model but before that time arrives, the German firm are looking to sell some current versions of the model first and they have a great deal setup via a PCP agreement which could certainly help them to do so. The brand now offer the current E Class with a deposit of £4,999 which is then followed up with an agreement of three years that would see you pay just £355 per month. When the agreement ends after three years you can give the car back to Mercedes Benz or you can decide to own the vehicle yourself with a balloon payment of £16,775. £3,912 of which Mercedes will contribute themselves. For the Bluetec SE model, this means a saving of nearly £4,000 in total.
Dacia Duster and Range Rover Evoque deals
The Duster is one of the more popular choices for customers when it comes to making the purchase on a Dacia model. This comes in handy as the brand are now offering a deal on the car for the month of March. Customers can decide to own a brand new Duster on a pay monthly agreement which will see them hand over an initial deposit of £676.00 with a four year agreement that sees the buyer pay just £179 per month. At the end of the agreement, you as the buyer will also be faced with the option of owning the car for one final payment of £3,957. The model affected by this deal is the Ambience vehicle which is mid range as far as trim levels are concerned. The car packs a 1.5 litre, diesel engine setup.
The Range Rover Evoque is the next in line today to receive some great deal treatment. The Evoque can now be bought on a pay monthly deal which would see a deposit of £8,470 which is then followed by three years worth of monthly payments at £399 a month. The version of the car offered carries a nine speed, automatic gearbox and runs alongside the 2.2 litre SD4 engine. Once the three years have passed, you can decide to either own the car yourself or hand it back to Land Rover. If you do decide that this this the vehicle for you though, you can own it for one final payment of £22,342.
Chrysler take one last bow with the Ypsilon
Now last up on the agenda today comes to us the Chrysler Ypsilon. The Ypsilon is the only Chrysler car left remaining on sale here in Britain and it was just last week that the company announced they will be leaving the UK market from 2017. With all of this being taken into consideration, it comes as no surprise that the brand are looking at selling as many of these vehicles as they possibly can before their departure. The Ypsilon is being offered right now on a pay monthly agreement over the course of five years with monthly payments of £167. The even more exciting news though is that no deposit is required for the car either and is available on an interest free credit agreement. The five door, Silver model carrying a 1.2 litre engine is the version of the Ypsilon that is offered.

Workplace Campaign Spotlight: Bank Director
Bank Director, a 2016 recipient of United Way of Williamson County's Most Creative Campaign Award and Greatest Participation Award, continued their tradition of creativity and engagement this year.
The company divided into 4 teams: Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors. The teams competed for points based on participation in activities, games, and superlatives such as Most Likely to Win at the Hunger Games, Most Like a Disney Cartoon Character, and Best Person to Share a Desert Island With.
Each day featured a United Way partner program and a special Spirit Week theme: PJs and Pancakes; Decade Day; Sports Day; Character Day; and Wacky Tacky Day.
Throughout the week, teams competed for Best Dressed and Most Creative costume awards and played games such as Trivial Pursuit, Pictionary, and $100,000 Pyramid.
The week culminated with a neighborhood closing celebration featuring a variety of food trucks, raffles, door prizes, and a Corn Hole tournament.
"The week was a huge success, with 100 percent participation from all employees, and we raised more money than ever before in previous United Way campaigns," said Laura Schield, Bank Director's VP of conferences and Chief Project Officer.
The company's partnership with United Way spans more than 26 years, since the company began in 1991.
"Our founder, Bill King, has been giving his time and resources since the beginning, and his attitude towards social responsibility flows throughout our entire company," said Schield.
Bank Director team members may each donate 20-24 hours of work time to volunteer activities of their choice. In less than one year, volunteers have donated more than 415 hours of service — translating into an estimated gift of $12,700 in the community.
Additionally, the company participates in United Way's annual Days of Caring in September and a second volunteer activity in the spring.
"Not only are we benefitting the community with both our time and our resources, but we get to do it together as a team," said Schield. "Our partnership with United Way has become a 'way of life' here at Bank Director."
To find out how to bring these teambuilding benefits to your organization, contact United Way of Williamson County at 615-771-2312.

25 Aug Prepare For Summer Fun
Summer is here and with it brings an increase of recreational and house-hold activities. Is your body ready for action af-ter a winter of rest? In the past, have you had aches and pains in your feet, knees or hips? If so, perhaps the new activities will recreate these symp-toms. What can you do for yourself to avoid these unnecessary pains?
OPTM would like to help you proactively care for your health. We spe-cialize in biomechanical examinations with instruc-tions for proper training techniques. Let's look at some common maladies.
Deficiencies of muscular length and strength in the feet, legs, thighs and hips can predispose you to a variety of pains, including plantar fasciitis, Achilles bursitis or tendonitis, tearing ligaments in your knee, pain around your kneecap, trochanteric bursitis and hip impingement.
Pain in the lower extremities often results from poor muscular con-trol or over-stress from physical activity. Correct-ing the dynamic control of your legs and feet will nor-malize the stress distribu-
tion to the joints, helping to decrease demands on susceptible tissues. Rest from activity is also helpful to allow injured tissues to heal.
Poor judgment re-garding the choice of activ-ity and intensity is the cause of overuse injuries. Intensity refers to the re-sistance, the distance, the speed, the range of motion, the frequency, the dura-tion, the number of sets and repetitions and the type of terrain used for an activity. Choosing activities and an appropriate starting level based on comfort is difficult, as the first day of exercise often feels good, only to leave you very sore for the next week and injured after a month of performing your exercises. This happens because the intensity exceeded the tis-sue stress tolerance.
Proper train-ing programs to correct the poor motor control, perhaps in conjunction with orthot-ics or braces, are essential to the prevention and care of these problems. Medications, injections and operations involve little effort on your part, but your effort is necessary to develop the essential control of your joints when you move.
Only your effort will create fitness.
The intensity of your program should in-crease by 5-10% per week. Increase only one of the intensity parameters at one time. If walking or running is your chosen ac-tivity, avoid hills until you have exercised for 6-8 weeks. Going uphill will stress your calves, Achil-les tendons and feet. Go-ing down will stress your shins, kneecaps and lower back. Decrease the time or distance while running the hills to avoid exceed-ing your tissue stress lim-it. Or, if you play sports that demand lateral movement, which stress your hips and knees, perform shock absorbing exercises to develop control of your legs in the preseason and continue the exercises throughout your season as part of your warm-up.
Physical activity is essential for health. Eve-ryone can be active. Your effort will pay huge health dividends. Do good things for yourself everyday. Eat right, sleep 8 hours each night, think positive thoughts and stay active. With your effort and help from OPTM, you can have a better life.

QOTD: 08/19 Bargains
Are you a bargain hunter? Do you frequent consignment, restyle, used clothing shops, etc? Do you check for sales online, in the newspaper, FB groups, Craig's List, etc?
I love the challenge of finding something great at a good price. I won't buy any clothing unless it's on sale and I love to browse thru the consignment stores. Bailey and I browsed yesterday afternoon in a few stores we hadn't been in before and she picked up some sweaters and an armful of books.
In Bellingham there are two Labels outlets and I always find clothes, purses, scarves and home goods in there. I try to pop in ever few months to check it out. My daughter bought a Coach bag in there at about 1/6 of the original price. I picked up a low carb cookbook there in the spring for a few dollars and had just bought the other book in the series on Amazon a few wks before that for a lot more money.
I also love to peruse Craigs List for photography stuff. I've gotten some great lenses at a good price. I always look on CL when I need new furniture before buying at the store. I picked up 2 stacking Ikea wire basket racks last week for a fraction of the original cost and they were brand new. They now are stacked together, in the spare bedroom, holding all my scarves, sorted by color. I'll have to take a pick of them and do a layout about my scarves.
I love a good deal!
Yes and no.
I'm not a shopper, really. I don't go shopping unless there's something specific I need to get. In general, I don't enjoy 'the hunt' for a good deal, I'd rather use my time at home, walking on the beach or doing something else. I'm honestly more concerned with getting in and out at most stores, so it's not fun for me to have to dig through racks and racks and racks to find what I need.
Stores like Marshall's and TJ-Max bother me sometimes because I find something I like but it's not in my size. And it just takes SO long. LOL I want to walk in (like a Target or a Department store) and find what I like displayed on a rack, reach back for my size and DONE. If I have a coupon, then yay. If not, I still buy it.
That being said, I do occasionally like to go to thrift stores. I stick to kids clothes, housewares, and books. Now, BOOKS, those I love to bargain shop for. I've also found some furniture at thrift stores and Craigslist that I was super proud to find for much less. Those types of things I can be a bargain hunter for. The rest of it -- nah.
I love bargain shopping! When the kids were both little I always bought their clothes used. When they are babies buying brand new felt like such a waste to me since they only wear clothes for such a short time before they grow out of them. It definitely gets harder when the kids get older because clothes tend to get worn out so much easier. We have a store in the next town over where the prices were a grocery bag size filled with clothes for $5 or a garbage bag filled for $10. The prices were unreal!
I also have bought used from FB marketplace and such. Not as much lately but definitely have gotten some good deals that way!
On the other hand, my hubby is the ultimate bargain shopper/re-saler! He grew up working at his parents' swap meet (flea market) business. For the past 20 years or so, he has been buying and selling Hot Wheels (collectibles) on eBay and FB. He's really good at it.
I'm cheap... but our Goodwills and other thrift places are insane on prices - jeans and are $9, books and games for $5... I can find cheaper stuff on clearance at Target and Walmart. My mom and I do "girls" weekend in Milwaukee (1.5hr away) and hit all the goodwills and TJMaxxes, hunting for stuff. We don't really have anything in mind... get it when I see it.
My house is pretty much furnished by Craig's List... I can't think of one thing of furniture I have that isn't from there or hand me down... Just bought a small desk for my bible journaling off Marketplace for $40.
95% of my books and homeschooling curriculum is second hand... almost all our games we use for schooling, is too... almost all of Jake's clothes are from rummage sales or thrift... my clothes I do buy off clearance, but that is because I'm a big girl.
I used to be a bargain hunter and loved going to the second-hand shop when I lived in Liverpool. Now, not so much, because we don't have those kind of shops here. People don't like buying or looking at used goods here, but we do donate our used clothes and goodies to donation boxes, which are then sent to orphanages throughout the country.
I do wait for sales though, since that's pretty frequent to happen here. I love scoring greatly discounted winter clothes in spring/autumn and vice versa. That is only when we need the purchase not so urgently. Two years ago, the zipper on my winter jacket broke in the middle of winter and DH decided to buy a jacket ASAP. I pouted a little looking at the price!
I used to be the garage sale queen. I'd buy toys for my kids, use them until they outgrew them and resell them. Much of my decor was secondhand, too. I have not done that in years though....ah the memories!
There are very few things in my life that I buy rand new... Some things are by choice, like furniture or decor items just because I LOVE to refinish old things to give them new life. Other things we don't have much of a choice in..... besides the fact that clothing is expensive, the only place to buy clothes here is walmart (and it's a SMALL one so very little in terms of selection and variety), and a few thrift shops. Actually, Guy's Frenchy's is a huge chain of used clothing stores in my area but I don't pick up just anything though.... I will dig the bins and search the racks for top brand names for the boys.... they could care less about labels, but it's what makes it fun for me. lol As far as online shopping goes, I am literally at on the store websites that I like to shop at daily.... I know what they have for stock, what the prices are, wishlists are made and a STALK the pages for sales (you'd be sruprised how many sales pop up without a email notification even if you are on the list), I also make it a point to make sure I go through my ebates as well. As far as food goes, I am a sales flyer hoe when it comes to the grocery stores. I wasn't so much a coupon person though since they never used to allow you to stack a coupon on top of an item on sale (but I try to watch it now as stores are starting to allow it with some things). What I like most is collecting points though.... I have already earned over $700 worth of free groceries, just by buying the things we normally use when they have points offers.... and i'm not crazy about it in the sense that I buy in bulk when there is a points offer, I just buy what I know we will use in the 2 week period that I am shopping for and I just do our meal planning around that.
I probably sound really cheap, but it reality, we are a single person income for a family of 5 and minimum wage doesn't go far..... I do whatever it takes to get my family the things they need without breaking the budget.
I'm definitely not into thrift stores ... not because I'm against used clothes, but because I like the flexibility to try things on in multiple sizes and I also don't really enjoy hunting through racks of different things (it gets overwhelming to me).
I have purchased items from Poshmark or eBay - when I'm looking for a very specific item that has been discontinued, etc. I've gotten some awesome deals on designer items that are gently worn with lots of life left in them.
In terms of just general shopping, I almost always do a price comparison, including looking for coupons to apply to my purchase. It's saved me lots of money. I also use Honey.
I do like a good deal when I can get one but after spending several years only being able to afford second-hand clothes or hand-me-downs from friends & family, I got rid of every single piece of clothing that I hadn't purchased new when I got my job 18 months ago & haven't looked back since.
Nothing made me feel so awful as having to wear other people's clothes. I'm working on doing the same with all the second-hand furniture we have.
Nope! That stuff stresses me out big time. I'm much more of a "decide I need something and go out and get it that same day" type of person. I always say I'm going to shop around but I never do
I'm a huge bargain hunter.....to the point my family and I often joke "You don't pay full price if you're a McDonald" cause we are all bargain hunters to varying degrees.
Bargain hunting is a hobby of mine. I love to find the cheapest price possible. When I'm short on time I will (not often) pay full price, but I usually try to find some sort of discount.
I used to be able to shop or browse for hours... not anymore. I have no patience.... except for Arts n Crafts supplies ( I love paint and paper!!!) ... and usually once or twice a month I pop into the Habitat Restore store to see if anything strikes my fancy... project wise...
I used to love yard sales and garage sales. I do occasionally find a good deal on the FB yard sale page....like my kitchen table!!!! (Huge beautiful custom oak double pedestal, 8 chairs, two leaves that store inside it.... probably $3000 or more new... $550 for me. i love it!!!)
If I am needing anything for my little home childcare/classroom, I do go to the children's resales when they have them locally.

Is robert plant dating patty griffin
Robert Plant has described his life and music career as ''a wardrobe of attempted personality changes''.
The 69-year-old Led Zeppelin legend is fast approaching his 70th birthday and has just released his 11th solo studio LP...
"I tap my hand on the table and they fly out the walls in this huge cloud, like something from a Disney film," he said.It's unclear if Plant was serious about eloping and if so, when and where the nuptials took place.The singer and Griffin were photographed together back in November, both sporting what appeared to be wedding rings.Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Robert Plant is over 40 years into his storied career in music – and still going strong.In 1967 he formed a group called the Band of Joy with drummer John Bonham, before the two joined with guitarist Jimmy Page and bassist John Paul Jones the following year to form the legendary band Led Zeppelin.
Griffin was also married once before and divorced in 1992.

text: Culture, World Changers God Created You January 10, 2018 | Posted by Karina Rovey SHARE: In life, and especially in middle and high school, it's easy to feel like we're not enough. Not smart enough, not talented enough, not funny enough and so on. We become fixated on comparison with those around us and how we must be perfect in every field. Though it is true that we are imperfect human beings, God tells us that we are enough in His eyes. As He says in Jeremiah 1:5, "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations." It is so comforting to know that we don't need to push ourselves to earthly perfection when we already have a wonderful and caring Father who created us perfectly the way He wants us to be. However, sometimes it can be difficult to remember this, especially in the era of social media. Our minds are constantly being infiltrated with dozens of "perfect" pictures and posts on our Instagram and Twitter feeds, be it selfies, cute pictures of couples or tweets about someone's accomplishments. These aren't bad things, but sometimes it's hard to stay focused on what God wants us to be when we're surrounded by the temptations of having to meet earthly expectations. We stress about conforming to the status quo and fitting this world's ideals. That isn't what Jesus has planned for us, though. In the Bible, we find that God tells us that we were made for more than a picture on an Instagram feed. He has a unique purpose for each and every one of us and has made each person with special talents and strengths in order to fulfill His will. We don't need to feel like we're not enough when we were created flawlessly in the eyes of our Savior. We were made exactly how we ought to be. As our Father says in Exodus 9:16, "But I have raised you up for this very purpose, that I might show you my power and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth." I use a little analogy to help remember this when I get stuck in the comparison rut. God is the mechanic and the world is a giant engine. When a mechanic is working on building an engine, do they just throw in random broken parts that don't serve a purpose? Of course not. Just like a mechanic, God places each person (part) right where they need to be to perform a certain task for the overall goal, which is bringing more people to the knowledge of Jesus Christ as Lord. So, as the new year begins, keep in mind that God created you perfectly in His image before you started that new study plan or diet (although I'll be trying some of those this year as well). No matter what, you were divinely created to be uniquely you. faith, God Created You, Karina Rovey, LCEF, Lutheran Church Extension Fund, World Changers

The Legend of Silk Boy OST
Music Composed and Conducted by ALAIN MAYRAND
Release date August 3, 2010
Released by Movie Score Media: MMS10015
Available as CD and Digital on all major platforms
External link
"Set amid China's first attendance at the World Expo in 1851 London, this 3D animated film tells the story of an ambitious little boy who becomes a hero by fighting against the evil Filthington IV, who wants to obtain all the riches of the world, especially the rarest silk on earth made by the beautiful Goddess of Silk. Without having seen the film, I can't say much more about it.
What I can say is that Alain Mayrand has composed
one of the most delightful scores of the year.
The strength of the SILKBOY score lies in Mayrand's use of those thematic muscles. The main theme charges out in classic superhero fashion, with a melody that lifts and soars, modulating and giving flight to musical imagination.
The sneaky "The Filthington Family March" has the bouncy villainy of something by Dukas or John Williams' classic bumbling villain themes. The London atmosphere is conveyed through the vedy proper British "The Queen's Presentation." And though the story features Asian characters, the ethnic flavor in the music is subtle, found only in a few cues such as "Tammy's Bad Day."
As with any superhero story, the score features its share of action cues. In tracks like "The Fantastic Highway Chase" and "The Flying Bus," Mayrand's compositional skill comes through in full force. He deconstructs his themes, pulling rhythmic and melodic motifs from wherever he can to serve the needs of the cues, creating thrilling musical set pieces.
SILKBOY is a rich, thematic score that still feels fresh and contemporary.
God bless MovieScore Media for taking a chance on a relative newcomer and bringing this superb score to our attention. THE LEGEND OF SILKBOY is one musical tale that deserves to be spun over and over again.

Russia preventing Ukraine from transiting European gas: Kiev
16:09, 14 January 2009Ukraine
1141 0
In response to Russian...
Kiev accused Russia Wednesday of making it impossible for Ukraine to transit gas to Europe and said Moscow was seeking to damage Ukraine`s reputation, according to AFP. But Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko also said she was ready to meet her Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin and that negotiations on the gas crisis needed to move to the "level of governments."
In response to Russian accusations Ukraine was refusing to send gas on to Europe, Ukrainian state energy company Naftogaz said Russia was deliberately choosing impossible transit routes.
"We cannot technically send the gas to where they want it to go," Naftogaz spokesman Valentyn Zemlyansky told AFP.

The Autobot plague victims are victims of the ancient Cybonic plague, a disease that was created during the Great War by Megatron himself. It's primary use was to infect the Autobots and wipe them all out. The only cure that could be found was with Megatron, who created the disease.
When Optimus Prime and Ratchet were investigating an Autobot distress signal, they found and entered a centuries-old crashed ship in hopes of finding any survivors inside. Instead they saw the deceased bodies of the ship's crew. After scanning a disease-ridden body, Ratchet concluded that they didn't die in the crash, but from an ancient virus known as the Cybonic Plague. When the ship moved, one of the victims' bodies, which hung from the ceiling, dripped infected Energon. One of the drops fell on Optimus' optic, causing him to be infected.
After that, they were left behind for medical cautionary measures.

Dogs are said to be a man's best friend. However, for some pet owners, this friendship can come with bumps in the road. Their pet's innocent puppy eyes and drippy kisses can soon turn into violent biting, barking, and growling. There are some dogs where this transition can be seen at a more rapid pace than others. What leads these dogs to it? What causes their aggressive behavior?
There is, in fact, a diverse range of factors that can alter the natural behavior of a dog. While it is common for all breeds to exhibit some degree of aggression, for a few it can grow to dangerous levels. This can create a potentially life threatening situation, not just for the canine owner, but also for society. Such as that owner's neighbors!
This excessive aggression in certain breeds might be a result of either environmental or physiological factors. Dogs typically display their aggression by defending themselves, exhibiting violent behavior, barking, and sometimes even attacking the 'apparent' threat. In most cases, violent-aggressive behavior displayed by dogs can be linked to breeding, genetic disposition, and hormonal issues.
Dog Breeding and Aggression
Breeding can induce aggressive behavior in a dog more than anything else. Dogs that have been bred, upon reaching maturity, have a higher possibility of being prone to aggressive behavior.
A number of dog breeds were developed with a goal to serve specific functionalities for humans. Historically, they were bred for guarding and protecting human life. Some had hunting abilities, and some had skills to fight others. Some dogs were also bred because of their gaming ability as well as for their tenacity.
Today, many people domesticate dogs without knowing the history behind them. They select a handsome looking dog, or breeds that are popular with some celebrities. They consider these dogs because of their physical appeal. They do not think about the changes it could bring to their daily life and how it could impact their overall lifestyle. They want the dog to be a part of their family, but fail to pay heed to the captivated animal's natural instincts and feelings. Guess, what happens next? Disaster!
Pet dogs that have already been bred today are rarely meant for the purposes for which their breeds were originally developed. But the reality is that these dogs still carry their original genetics. Their DNA is hard to change. They are instinctively still aware of the sense of purpose they were bred for.
Their genetic makeup and DNA are not a conducive fit for the people inside the home, and particularly children. They are dangerous even for visitors and outsiders. No matter how hard you try, their predisposed behavior is ultimately going to get in the way of you living peacefully with your pet.
Other Factors Leading to Aggression
Apart from breeding, a number of other factors can contribute to aggressive dog behavior:
- Anxiety
- Phobia/fear
- Lack of social exposure
- Imprinting by aggressive dams at an early stage
- Trauma
- Territorialism/jealousy
- Medical conditions and malfunctions
- Abuse
- Physical ailments
- Separation from mother at a very early stage
- Lack of direction/attention from the owner
- Forceful training and correction techniques
Breeding Standards
Although almost all dog breeds are capable of having nurturing relationships with their animal as well as human counterparts, some breeds can display an increasingly aggressive behavior as they grow up. This can be better determined with the help of breeding standards.
A canine owner can obtain valuable insights into the potential dog behavior through these standards. They can also get an insight about their potential threats this dog poses to the people around in the neighborhood and in their own home. Furthermore, they can know if their canine mate is going to adjust with them in the long run or not.
The breeding standards tend to focus on the external appearance and movement of the dog. In some cases, these standards can also concentrate on the temperament. While there are no specific scientific documents, for each breed of dog there are a set of specific guidelines available. The details and definitions of every dog breed can also vary from one area to another.
The standards tend to focus on the history of a particular breed and how were they important in the old times. The kind of purpose they solved back then is essential to understand here. The standards intend to throw light on the "idealization" of a dog, in a good way though. The aspects that are observable externally matter the most here. However, the old traits, also known as "faults", are not tolerated by today's generation of pet owners. They idealize the dog and try to make sure they fit the image they are supposed to have.
The breeding standards tend not to focus on any tests or health requirements to alter their originality. They do not have the specification for changing their genetics to make them work or train in a particular expected way. They only focus on the observable qualities of a dog. Contrary to the contemporary breeders, they do not set benchmarks for the behavior of a dog. They do not standardize the way their health, qualities, and 'job' should be.
Deceptive Appearance
The outward appearance of a dog should not be taken as a parameter of aggression when families are vowing to adopt. A dog might appear to be gentle, scared, kind, and innocent on the outside, but in no time this appearance could deceive you. It could suddenly pose a threat not just to the adopting family, but also to the neighbors and visitors. Children are at the highest risk during these situations. Dogs tend to attack the children who come near them.
Children are sometimes too curious and fail at times at recognizing when an animal does not want to be approached. Children also fail at times to understand when a dog does not want to be petted.
Here is a list of dogs that are included in this category:
Pit Bulls
Pit bulls are known to attack and scare people for a very long time now. The pit bull dog breed comprises three breeds – American Staffordshire terrier, Staffordshire bull terrier, and the American pit bull terrier. The pit bull was bred initially as a "catch dog" meant for hunting purposes. In some cases, they were meant to attack other animals and guard their human counterparts. Because of their "scary" nature, pit bulls were also known as the best dogs for herding the livestock of a farmer.
Pit bulls have strong jaws. Their jaws can comfortably hold the prey for longer durations, once bitten. However, there is no scientific evidence to prove that a pit bull's jaw has distinctive characteristics. Their jaws are anatomically the same as those of other dog breeds. They are known to "lock" jaws when fighting with other animals.
The fans of the breed do acknowledge, however, that the dog has slight differences in comparison to other dogs. Therefore, individuals and families looking forward to adopting pit bulls for their homes must learn about them. They should be educated about their characteristics and their breeding history. Certain states in the US have stated pit bulls to be "inherently dangerous." In fact, pit bulls are known as high-risk dogs by the US Army as well. In some military housing units, their presence is prohibited.
There are even some people who believe pit bulls should be outlawed – the debate on this matter continues. Incredible shows like The Wire only illustrate the dangerous nature and what the pit bull is only good for.
What happened on May 22nd, 2012 in Ohio seems to go against common sense. Ohio officially stated the pit bull will no longer be declared an aggressive dog. Any dog could be marked as being vicious or a community problem germane to their actions. Any police officer or animal control professional can make this salient distinction.
In second place on this inglorious list is another "vicious" dog called the Rottweiler. It is known for similar reasons as the pit bull is. The Rottweiler is a breed of large dogs, which can weigh between 85 and 130 pounds. They have short hair, with a straight coat, usually black, with mahogany markings. The dog breed is inspired by a small town known as Rottweil in Germany. These dogs were earlier perceived to be butcher's dogs. Their original purpose was cattle herding and bear hunting.
In the US, they have been popular as guard dogs, and are proudly serving the army as well as the police. The dogs are aloof and do not dwell on friendships easily. However, once they love their owners, and accept them, they become the most loyal and protective dogs. They will go to any extent to defend their home and their owner. Though they can mix with children quickly, but due to their nature, build, and history, they are not recommended as a pet for households.
German Shepherd
The German Shepherd also gets included in the category of aggressive dogs for multiple reasons. They are medium sized, weighing approximately 80 pounds. Their history traces them back to Germany in the 19th century. The breed was used by the French and the German military during the Second World War. German Shepherds are known to dislike strangers and hence are known to make excellent guard dogs.
Apart from being military dogs with sturdy built, they are also an intelligent breed of dogs. In fact, they even served the purpose of being guide dogs for blind people. Owing to their intelligence, they are useful when it comes to search and rescue operations. This is why most narcotic teams have German Shepherds.
Siberian Huskies
Siberian Huskies are medium sized dogs, known for their temperament. Their temperament is said to resemble that of a wild wolf. They are independent, dominant, and stubborn. They can weigh between 40 and 70 pounds, and have medium length hair. They usually are white, black, and gray (in combinations, though).
They can show signs of dog aggression to scare unknown people. In fact, they sometimes even show these signs to their owner's family. These dogs, as the name suggests, originated in Siberia. Their original purpose was to pull sleds for longer distances and durations during cold weather. They are also recognized as rescue dogs. Huskies are known to be territorial and are generally not good with people. Though good with children, they are not recommended for families.
Chow Chow
Chow Chow is another aggressive dog breed, which is known to be extremely defensive and protective. They are suspicious of people they are not familiar with. They are on this list because they have historically been responsible for many deaths. They are medium-statured dogs, weighing between 50 and 70 pounds. They have longer coats that can come in black, red, cream, and cinnamon colors. They are known to originate from ancient China or Mongolia. They are known as hunters and herders. Their breed gained popularity among masses when President Calvin Coolidge was seen to pet one.
Chows Chows are known to be dominant and assertive. Because of these two characteristics, they are not recommended as family pets. They are startled easily owing to their bad peripheral vision.
Causes of Aggression
The two Bs, breeding and behavior, primarily define the extent of aggression in a dog, and the kind of threat they can pose to humans.
Breeding began to serve specific purposes in human society, which humans alone could not fulfill. The breeding procedure was performed to produce certain desired results in a dog. The breeds of dogs around us at present are a result of the manipulations we humans have done over the ages. Some breeds were meant to be homely, pampered, and gentle. However, some breeds (as listed above) were intended to rescue, serve, hunt, and protect. Therefore, the dogs known for their aggression today might originally have ancestors who were naturally aggressive. It is unfortunate that these dogs were bred to make even more aggressive breeds for serving human requirements.
The behavioral aspect plays a significant role in ascertaining a dog's behavior. The dogs that have been abandoned, abused, and mistreated earlier tend to suffer from various behavioral issues. Aggression is one of them. The so-called aggressive dogs are raised without socialization skills, lack of nutrition, as well as affection. They do not know how to deal with different social situations. They do not know how to behave with other dogs and humans, and hence, will act unpredictably in different situations.
Paying the Price
No matter what the reason, there are approximately five million people in the US who suffer from dog bites every year. There are nearly 800,000 people who need to seek medical care as well. Many innocent children visit emergency rooms every day because of fatal or terrible dog attacks and injuries.
The dog attacks and the related injuries fall under the state's Public Health, Municipalities, and Welfare Police. There are various laws and statutes which regulate the violent behavior in a dog. Together, these are known as Dangerous Dog Laws.
These statutes can define and determine whether or not a dog is dangerous. Once a dog is declared to be dangerous and vicious, care and precaution must be taken by the owner to ensure their dog does not harm anyone, including other dogs owned by them or other people.
If the Dangerous Dog Laws are violated in any way, the brunt of the situation has to be faced by both, the dog and the owner. The dog could even be at the risk of losing its life. The owner can face criminal charges, monetary fines, legal prohibitions, and even imprisonment. Some owners may have to pay higher premiums for insurance if their dog is found to be violent and aggressive but since many dogs are not insured this is not a severe deterrent. The main deterrent is the threat of being sued or possibly even facing criminal charges if your dog attacks someone and it could or even should have been prevented.
