Do I Need Patent Filing Services?
Patent filing services are useful for any business or individual that has an invention that needs protecting. This invention could be something material, or it could be a certain process. If your business model depends on it, and if it reaches the threshold of originality, it'll likely qualify for patent protection.
Applying for a patent is a complex and time consuming process, especially if you operate internationally. International patents usually require an initial application to an overarching organisation, followed by individual applications in specific nations. You'll need a written description of your invention that sets out how it is unique, and the aspects that need to be protected, and you'll need to file applications and pay application fees at a number of different deadlines.
Global Voices can help you through the entire process, minimising your admin time and allowing you to streamline your workflow.

When we first heard about the developers behind Horizon making an effort to allow users have always-horizontal video recording with the iPhone, our immediate wish was that there was also an Android app. Here we're able to open the Horizon app, record video, and have no worries about recording with the camera in vertical or horizontal mode. The videos themselves always come out in landscape.
While we're in an age where it appears to be just as acceptable to produce a video that's vertical as it is horizontal, there's a lot to be said for the fact that televisions and movie theaters don't produce such media. For them, there's Horizon. This app is being released for a buck ($0.99 USD), for the moment, and works with iOS 7.0 and higher. Meanwhile just about every iOS device ever invented (to a point) is on the list for compatibility.
This app works with photos as well – you'll be able to hold your device any angle, as well. You can hold your device horizontally and vertically, but also at a variety of angles, for both video and photos.
Shooting size does not end up being the exact same as the normal size of the device's normal shot every time you shoot – it depends on what device you've got too. iPhone 4S & iPad 2 only support 640×480 and 480×480, while newest devices work with 1920×1080, 1280×720, 640×640, 640×480 and 480×480.
Have a peek at the app right this minute and see how well it functions on your device. We'll be having an extended look at it on the iPad Air as well as the iPhone 5 and iPhone 5s this week. So far so good!

2020 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab Configurations
2020 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab Configurations – Asia maker readies a lot of novelties for the upcoming calendar year, together with an entirely different diesel-run product, that will appear since 2020 Toyota Tacoma. This unique truck has become supplied only for this To the North American marketplace and it also is among the very best versions within the sector. To date, we now have observed 3 years from the truck. The present design is found given that 2015, therefore we could possibly express it is actually an excellent period for a few upgrades. In addition to a fresh engine, this kind of truck is likewise about acquired a newer visible physical appearance. This particular version has become by the great Hilux for many years along with most up-to-date reviews recommend it would become eventually characteristic precisely the same design vocabulary, or even related at the very least. 2020 Tacoma Diesel need to can come using the same cabin design when gas types, utilizing just a couple of small changes around the device bunch.
2020 Toyota Tacoma Redesign
Exterior Design
This unique truck has become one of many sector managers for many years, and that is undoubtedly meant for an excellent reason. Much like past versions, this particular era is additionally in line with the renowned Hilux, which happens to be presented worldwide as well as previously comes along with some diesel models inside the supply. As a result, this unique proceed to expose an oils-burner model towards the U.S. marketplace looks organic. When compared with fuel versions, your 2020 Toyota Tacoma may characteristic entirely precisely the same style. Continue to, you should point out that a good upgrade is actually with the method. Based on the newest records, it up-date will likely be generally around visible look. The actual American truck is going to ultimately receive the very same deal with mainly because Hilux, which implies consumption in the brand's most up-to-date design vocabulary. Regarding technicians, most people never anticipate more significant changes.
Interior Design
The particular 2020 Toyota Tacoma should come without the need for more considerable dissimilarities in comparison with gas types. Our company is intending to notice an acquainted cabin design, that basically is available in not one but two templates. Foundation designs original prolonged-cab design so that we can take into account this seeing that some type of workhorse designs. On the reverse side, staff-cab versions supply far more area and luxury. A dashboard would be the exact same, even though we might find some adjustments for the device group, that will appear to be reasonable thinking of some other kind of powertrain. About devices, many of us assume the newer diesel engine will likely be supplied from the whole array of Tacoma designs. Continue to, do not anticipate seeing the item underneath the engine latest, off-road-concentrated TRD Pro version. The brand new engine ought to be obtainable in most cut degrees apart from TRD Pro. Because of this, the least expensive variation utilizing essential oil-burner might be a fundamental SR design, which will come using primarily pointless devices. Several of noteworthy normal functions are generally 16-in. Stainless steel rims, 4.2-" exhibit, digital rearview camera, Wireless Bluetooth in addition to Universal serial bus online connectivity and many others.
2020 Toyota Tacoma Engine
A handful of terms concerning the engine. It is just no secret this diesel motors will be becoming a lot more loved by truck drivers. Yet another torque implies a great deal regarding hauling and also other perseverance. We all nevertheless never are aware of the correct device, but it really will unquestionably always be lent with Hilux. The particular worldwide product incorporates a few different diesel products, according to the industry. The first is actually a 3.1-liter V6, that is perfect for around 163 hp.
Nevertheless, it appears in the match together with 5-pace intelligent, which seems a bit obsolete. A good 2.8-liter device has a 6-velocity automated gearbox, in fact, it is more potent. The entire production of that engine will go close to 177 horsepower. Thinking about all of these amounts, it gets obvious that this second option one particular appears to be more inclined to become set up beneath the bonnet with 2020 Toyota Tacoma.
2020 Toyota Tacoma Price And Release Date
Any 2020 Toyota Tacoma is predicted in the future anywhere from the secondly 50 % of the season. A far more exact start particular date will be however into the future. With regards to the actual cost, it can possibly change the number of hundreds much more when compared with versions using aa number of-tube fuel engine. Inside amounts, this implies all around $26.000 To $27.000 for your foundation product.

Russia's new Husky-class fifth-generation nuclear-powered submarine armed with Zircon hypersonic missiles is expected to be built by 2027.
The construction will start in 2023 and the first sub will be delivered by the end of 2027.
The Husky will feature a two-hull design traditional for the Russian Navy and displace 12,000 tonnes. The submarine will be furnished with the most advanced combat information and control system, a sonar and a system of integration into the unified information space of the Russian Armed Forces.
The is Husky will be a cheaper alternative to the top-end Yasen Class. If the Yasen can be likened to the US Navy's Seawolf Class, then the Husky will be the Virginia Class.
Russia is currently building a series of Project 885 Yasen-class fourth-generation multipurpose submarines. Seven Yasen submarines are planned by 2023. Only one Yasen sub, the K-560 Severodvinsk, has been commissioned. A second was launched in 2017.
The Husky class has an x-shaped rudder arrangement instead of the Alfa's cross-shaped arrangement and deletes the spherical sonar array and towed arrays, substituting them with chin-mounted and flank arrays.

Wolfeboro's K-9 unit wins seven awards in Maine competition
by Elissa Paquette
write the author
July 23, 2009
WOLFEBORO — K9 officer Jim O'Brien and his German Shepherd assistant, Blek, brought seven trophies to the Wolfeboro Police Commission meeting held at the Community Center on Lehner Street on July 16, the result of their competition in the United States Police K9Association trials in Falmouth, Maine this month.
Blek, lying quietly at O'Brien's feet, raised his head and perked up his ears at the applause from Chief Stuart Chase, Lt. Dean Rondeau and the police commissioners following O'Brien's explanation of the awards. O'Brien and Blek competed as novices since it was their first competition and won first place overall, as well as first place in the categories of apprehension, obedience, suspect search and team work, which included two other police canine units from New Hampshire. They also received third place honors in the search and agility trials.
Residents of Wolfeboro can expect to find a survey from the Wolfeboro Police Department in the mail with the next monthly electric bills. Chase said that he is looking for feedback given in complete candor to contribute to the department's improvement.
June offenses, at 98 for the month, were down 16 percent from May's total of 122. The top two categories were alcoholism/protective custody and criminal mischief/vandalism.
The total of 47 arrests for the month represented a decrease from the 59 in May. At the end of the month 43 cases are open, four are closed; 11 of the cases are protective custody.
Accidents were up 30 percent, with 13 for the month. Five of those occurred on South Main Street, which not only had the highest number of accidents, but also the highest numbers of incidents and arrests.
Chase reported that Lt. Rondeau has secured five portable breath-testing units, valued at $3,500, for the department and is overseeing bullet proof vest reimbursement of about $1,600.
The department is also working on speed, drunk driving and underage drinking grants and is expecting a reimbursement of approximately $1,900 into the overtime line item for alcohol grants in the next few weeks.
Funds are also expected in August, with $10,714 from a Byrne Grant to purchase equipment.
Design plans for Americans with Disabilities Act modifications to the public safety building are being drawn up for next year's budget.
Commissioner Curtis Pike noted that an automatic switch for the water pump at Clarke Plaza has been installed. Consequently, a vote was taken to rescind the vote of June 21 that relinquished their responsibility to the Public Works department. All agreed.
The next commission meeting is scheduled for Aug. 20, at 6:30 p.m. at the Community Center on Lehner Street.

Jacksonville, Fla., Feb. 20, 2018 – Former Senator and Governor Bob Graham said the time to act for our environment is now. North Florida Land Trust welcomed Graham as the keynote speaker at their annual meeting on Tuesday, Feb. 13. Citing the 1000 Friends of Florida study, Graham told the crowd of more than 150 people that the state of Florida will be 35 percent developed by 2070 if we continue on the same path.
"The state needs to step up its game," said Graham. "We have to start thinking 20 to 30 years ahead in our conservation goals and the key to that is organizations like North Florida Land Trust."
Graham said water will continue to be a challenge for Florida as the population grows and protecting land that will protect our waterways should be a key mission. North Florida Land Trust is at the forefront of that mission. NFLT President Jim M
cCarthy said the land conservation organization had success in 2017 in acquiring and preserving property with ecosystem benefits; properties that will help to protect and preserve natural habitats and wildlife.
"One of our biggest successes in 2017 is the O2O project," said McCarthy. "We were chosen for more than $3.5 million in funding from the Regional Conservation Partnership Program and in 2018, we will be working with 18 partners to focus on about 100,000 acres within this wildlife corridor to help conserve lands and protect habitats."
In addition to the O2O Corridor project, which is an important habitat for the Florida Black Bear and 34 federally threatened and endangered species, NFLT will be coordinating efforts to restore a sandhill ecosystem in Keystone Heights and making improvements to Bogey Creek
Preserve to create NFLT's first public park. They will also continue their community outreach and efforts to convince the legislature to fund conservation projects around the state.
At the annual meeting, NFLT recognized some of the major donors who are the first to be recognized as part of the McQuilkin Society. The McQuilkin Society was named for NFLT Founder Bill McQuilkin. Recognized at the meeting for their major donations to NFLT were Lisa and William Barton, Robin Donaho, and Joseph and Renate Hixon. Dave Smith of the Makowski Trust was also recognized as were outgoing board members Adam Hoyles, who served for seven years and as chair for the last four years, and Ok Sun Burks, who served for three years. In addition, NFLT presented the Volunteer of the Year award to Forrest and Nancy Penny.
About North Florida Land Trust
North Florida Land Trust is a non-profit organization who serves as a champion of environmental protection primarily in Baker, Bradford, Clay, Duval, Flagler, Nassau, Putnam, St. Johns, Union and Volusia counties. NFLT was founded in 1999 and has protected thousands of acres of environmentally significant land including property at Big Talbot Island, the River Branch Preserve, Pumpkin Hill State Park, Moccasin Slough, along the St. Mary's River and other valued natural areas predominantly in Northeast Florida.

Very minor spoilers for the very first area of Bloodborne ahead:
I realized something last night, as I stood over the crumpled corpse of Father Cascoigne. After my fifteenth, or maybe even twentieth dance in that Graveyard with him, I had finally landed the killing blow and those now iconic words "Prey Slaughtered" faded onto the screen. I realized that Hidetaka Miyazaki was trying to teach me something.
But how did the second boss take me so long to defeat? I dropped the Capra Demon faster than this guy. How did this boss cause me so much trouble? Me, a Souls veteran of six years! Hell a Soul's veteran whose primary combat style has always been light and nimble. Bloodborne seems like it was custom made just for me. So how did it take me an entire evening to fell this boss? I know what FromSoftware does in their games. I know all of their tricks, all of their tells, their McGuffin's. I can smell a mimic a mile away. There was nothing I wasn't prepared for with this developer.
Or so I thought.
Apparently From Software has changed up their game. Before I move on, let me jump back an hour or two to my first boss encounter. Like most people I beat the Cleric Beast on my second (or third) try. And that's because I think that boss is set up in such a way to teach you about dodge rolling effectively. If you try to lock-on and dash around, you get caught up in the environment and pinned down (which is how I took him on, in my first two tries... and died). Once I went into that fight though, and got up in his grill after he finished a combo, then rolled away, and repeated the same tactic, he went down with no issues. That was a pretty typical Souls like boss fight to be honest.
But then about twenty minutes later, I stumbled upon a foggy Graveyard (obviously a boss arena), I didn't have too many Echoes on my person at the time, so I felt no need to grind up and use the ones I had to level a stat. I just said, "screw it. Let's see how this second boss is".
My living room lighting for Bloodborne gaming. ;)
And so I triggered Father Cascoigne's introductory cutscene. I tried the same tactic I did with the Cleric Beast, rolling around and picking away at him. It worked ok, but he was obviously much faster, and constantly closing that gap I just made. So I dug into my old bag of tricks and thought about the environment. "Awwww hey check that out! He gets stuck up in the gravestones, and I can safely unleash a power attack on him while taking minimal counter attack damage". So I'm sitting there thinking... "Miyazaki, this is a pretty cool game so far, but I'm slightly disappointed at how easy these bosses have been". As I finished that thought, Cascoigne stopped attacking, and exploded, knocking me back.
Suddenly and without warning my clever exploit became completely useless, as the mass of this Beast Man threw his body into the tombstones I was cheesing him with, and demolished them, landing claws first in my face. "OH SHIT!!! Damn you Miyazaki, just as I was lamenting your lack of challenge, you do this! Damn you, I love you."
In one fell swoop From Software went from stringing me along in my old ways, even trolling me with a cheap exploit, only to tear it all away and decimate my smug face. That was it for me that night. I did try to face him a few more times, but no dice.
So the next day at work, I'm trying my best not to spoil the boss, or anything about the game, but I stumbled across a comment someone made about "Parrying with the off hand firearm" as a viable and fairly easy tactic for a lot of encounters. To be fair, the game had already provided me with this information, I just failed to retain it. You see, I have always been extremely bad at parrying in Souls games, so it's a tactic I rarely ever employ. But I do recall one of the Hunter's Dream notes referring to the move.
I get home last night, and when I finally fire Blooborne back up, I go back and try using this parry move. It doesn't work at all, I have no idea what I am doing wrong. I decide to try it on smaller enemies first to see how it works. It doesn't work. Then I realized that I was simply firing too early, your enemy literally has to be in your face with a telegraphed attack for the parry to connect. OMG it worked, that Frankendude is stumbling before me, and OH YES... I just shoved that saw blade through his face and killed him in one hit.
Long story short (well it's actually not short at all, at this point), I attempted the Father Cascoigne battle several more times. Each time, I noticed that health bar getting further and further down. But his fast, closing moves and combos always kill me too fast. I am determined at this point. It's almost time for me to sleep, but I refuse to drift off until I defeat this scourge on my game. I ended up grinding for about 20 minutes just to get some more vitality, and strength. I return to that now all too familiar fog gate, walk in. Take off my headphones, zone everything else out, and prepare for my final battle of the night.
And I walked away victorious. The parries both connected, Cascoigne took two huge hits in Beast form, and he is now a ghost of Yharnam's past.
And that is where I realized that the Father Cascoigne boss encounter was trying to teach me one thing. It was teaching me the importance of the parry tactic in Bloodborne, how to properly time it (because if I screwed it up, it would backfire), and it was also teaching me to utilize my inventory. As I stumbled across a little girl looking for her mother, who's Father was a hunter and had gone off to look for her as well. I realized who I was fighting, and equipped the item the little girl gave me. Used it, and it stunned my foe. Ultimately the parry is what ended that battle, but it was pretty awesome to see how they snuck in yet another way to face off against him.
I can't say for sure, but I have a good feeling that the following bosses are going to force me to learn even more new tricks in order to survive and thrive in this nightmare world.
I closed out my session last night, tearing the ever loving hell out of the Chapel Ward's main floor, everything was easy after Father Cascoigne. On to further (eventual) victories tonight!
I just realized... night hasn't even fallen yet in my game!

Essential Information to Help You Find the Best Houses for Rent
Rental houses offer innumerable benefits as compared to buying homes. In many areas, rental houses are still very affordable. Unlike homeowners, renting a house provides one the opportunity to move to a new location without the hassle of selling the old home and buying a new home. Also, the fact that one is not responsible for the repair and maintenance of the house makes Gold Coast rentals more desirable.
Finding the right house is the most important task before relocating. It is imperative that you choose something that offers more than just a simple structure. Knowing what you want in advance can help you choose a right home for you and your family.
The task of searching for the right house to rent in Gold Coast and many other parts of the country may not be as easy as it seems. There has been an extremely high demand for rental houses and this has exceeded the current housing supply. A significant number of individuals complain that there are not enough rental houses to choose from. Because the rental housing market is quite complicated, engaging the services of real estate agents to help you choose the best house for rent in Gold Coast. Apart from providing the necessary information, these professionals can protect you against unscrupulous scammers.
Make sure that you do proper research on the rental houses available before making your final decision. Establish if they are what you want in regards to the amenities, and size. Additionally, be sure to consider the surrounding area where the home is situated. If you plan to live with other people, it is essential that you consult with them and get their opinion as this will help ensure that everybody is satisfied with the choice made.
You need to have a well-defined budget before you begin looking for the right rental property. It will make it easy to identify the properties you can afford, narrow down your choices, and this maximizes your chances of making the right choice.
With numerous luxury Gold Coast rentals available today, you will want to choose a house that is well connected to the transport system. Such a house will make it possible for you to commute from one area to another easily.
Experts advise that if you have not had the chance to visit the property in person, you should request for pictures and check out reviews of the property. Also, before you finally commit your decision to rent a particular property, you should make sure that you feel comfortable with the rental company letting out the house or the landlord. Read the entire contract carefully and raise any concern before signing.

text: Battling a substance abuse disorder, addiction, or drinking problem can leave you feeling isolated, alone, and hopeless. Addiction and substance abuse disorders are progressive, chronic diseases that make it difficult to stop using without the help of a men\u2019s rehab center in Lantana, Florida. More than one out of every seven Americans over the age of 11 meets the diagnostic criteria of having a substance abuse disorder. They exhibit the signs of heroin use and general drug use.\r\n\r\nSubstance abuse disorders also increase your chances of experiencing a fatal overdose. Drug overdoses are the leading cause of accidental death in the United States. The prevalence of fatal overdoses has led to President Trump issuing a public health emergency in response to the growing opiate epidemic, which played a major role in the increased rates of overdoses.\r\n\r\nDrugs and alcohol are both physically addictive. This means that your brain and body can become dependent on substances in order to function properly. As such, when you become addicted, you should immediately seek help through substance abuse treatment programs in Lantana, Florida.\r\nHow Addiction Works\r\nAddiction can affect anyone, regardless of age, gender, race or background. Men are more likely to develop a substance abuse disorder than women but are also less likely to reach out to a men\u2019s addiction treatment center in Lantana, Florida for help. Men typically abuse substances to enhance feelings of happiness, and drinking and recreational drug use are more acceptable among men than women.\r\n\r\nDrugs and alcohol are physically addicting, meaning they cause painful withdrawal symptoms and cravings when you attempt to stop using. Whenever you use drugs or alcohol, your brain releases a rush of pleasurable neurotransmitters such as dopamine and serotonin. Your brain then associates drugs and alcohol with pleasure and rewards your drug and alcohol use with neurotransmitters. When you don\u2019t use, your brain restricts the release of neurotransmitters and can become completely dependent on psychoactive substances in order to release neurotransmitters. Thus stopping your usage of drugs leads to uncomfortable, often painful withdrawal symptoms, which are one of the signs of meth use and drug use in general.\r\n\r\nAddiction also impairs your judgment, which can cause you to make dangerous or harmful decisions. You can continue to abuse drugs and alcohol even if you deal with negative consequences or want to stop using.\r\n\r\nAddiction can also:\r\n\r\n \tWorsen underlying medical or mental health conditions\r\n \tCause neurological and cognitive issues\r\n \tDamage your liver\r\n \tLead to legal problems\r\n \tCreate conflict in your relationships\r\n\r\nWhat is a Men\u2019s Rehab Center\r\nA men\u2019s rehab center Lantana, Florida offers provides access to both inpatient and outpatient treatment options. Programs that men\u2019s rehab typically offers include:\r\n\r\n \tShort-term and long-term inpatient\r\n \tPartial hospitalization\r\n \tPsychodrama therapy program in Lantana, Florida\r\n \tIntensive outpatient\r\n \tAftercare and alumni programs\r\n\r\nA men\u2019s rehab center also utilizes evidence-based treatments such as a cognitive and dialectical behavior therapy program, individual counseling, and group therapy. Evidence-based therapy aims to help you identify and change negative thinking patterns, emotions, and behaviors. Group therapy improves your communication skills, and individual counseling allows you to address personal problems that may be difficult to fully express in a group setting.\r\nWhat to Expect During Treatment\r\nOnce you decide to attend a men\u2019s addiction treatment center Lantana, Florida offers, you will speak to a rehab admissions counselor. A rehab admissions counselor can explain what programs are offered and advise you which one is best for your particular needs.\r\n\r\nYou will share your background, medical and mental health history, and other relevant information. You will also need to share details about your substance use, such as:\r\n\r\n \tHow long you have used\r\n \tWhat substances you use\r\n \tHow often you use\r\n \tHow much you use\r\n\r\nReaching Out for Help\r\nIf you are ready to take the first step toward recovery, reaching out to a center for men\u2019s rehab is the best way to start your treatment. Addiction treatment programs at a men\u2019s rehab center can provide you with the support, guidance, education, and tools to learn how to recover from an addiction. Contact us today at 1.866.947.7299 to find out more about our programs and your treatment options.

As my regular visitors here at Mercola Healthy Pets know, I've been discussing the benefits of probiotics for decades. Not that long ago, only holistic and integrative veterinarians recommended probiotics for dogs and cats, but fortunately, the conventional veterinary community is slowly coming around.
This is due in part to a growing body of research that suggests the health of an animal's gastrointestinal (GI) tract affects their physical well-being, which makes perfect sense when you consider that up to 80 percent of your pet's immune system is located within the GI tract.
Interestingly, studies show that GI health also affects a pet's psychological well-being and behavior. There's an important relationship and bidirectional communication between the GI tract and the brain — it's called the gut-brain axis. Research suggests the flora (microbiota) present in the digestive tract can affect moods and vice versa.
Probiotics are the beneficial bacteria that dogs and cats need to not only maintain healthy levels of friendly bacteria in the gut, but also to discourage potentially pathogenic bacteria from overtaking the GI tract. Your pet's digestive tract is the largest immune organ in his body, and home to an extremely large population of bacteria.
The digestive tracts of canines and felines evolved to handle a tremendous bacterial load from the food they consume. Your pet's GI tract must maintain a healthy level of good bacteria, because if populations of bad bacteria grow unchecked, your dog or cat will develop digestive issues and other health problems as well.
Studies show animals without colonies of friendly bacteria in their gut, or with a poor balance of good-to-bad gut bacteria, are at high risk of developing disease.
Stress and anxiety can trigger a variety of physical and behavioral problems in pets. For example, stress can cause diarrhea, and anxiety often results in undesirable behaviors such as aggression We know that a high-quality probiotic supplement can alleviate GI disturbances in pets just as it does in humans, and in addition, recent research suggests probiotics can also help furry family members feel less anxious.
In one study, researchers evaluated the use of probiotic supplements to reduce stress-related digestive problems in 134 healthy dogs who were moved from their homes to a kennel.1 The dogs were separated into four groups, three of which received different doses of a probiotic supplement. The dogs in the fourth or control group did not receive a supplement.
Before the study began, all 134 dogs were gradually transitioned to the same diet. The dogs in the three test groups received a daily probiotic supplement for five weeks before being moved to the kennel, and for 20 days after the move. The researchers tracked the dogs' "fecal scores" based on the appearance of the poop, the number of times they pooped per day and the bacterial population in the poop. They also tracked serum cortisol levels to determine the dogs' stress levels.
The study results showed higher levels of probiotic bacteria populations in the three groups of dogs who received the supplement. The concentrations of bacteria suggested they were dose-responsive, meaning they were the result of supplementation.
The dogs who received the highest doses of probiotics had larger populations of friendly bacteria in their poop than the dogs who received weaker doses. In addition, fewer dogs given the supplement had "unacceptable" poop (too runny or too dry) during their first week in the kennel.
The researchers concluded the probiotic supplement "… supported optimal stool production and may help to prevent stress-related gastrointestinal upsets and diarrhea" in dogs who've been recently relocated and kenneled.
The standard treatment for stress colitis in adult shelter dogs includes anti-parasitic drugs and antibiotics. In fact, many traditional veterinarians in private practice treat dogs with diarrhea and other GI issues with the antibiotic metronidazole.
These drugs put the GI tract under additional physiological stress, which can prevent full recovery and prolong symptoms and suffering. In addition, overuse of antibiotics in veterinary medicine has resulted in the widespread problem of highly resistant strains of deadly bacteria.
Researchers at North Carolina State University's College of Veterinary Medicine conducted a study to compare the use of probiotics versus metronidazole to treat acute diarrhea caused by stress colitis.2 The dogs in the study were from a Raleigh, NC animal shelter and were suffering from severe diarrhea.
The researchers examined the dogs, recorded their weights and body scores, and ran blood, urine and fecal tests. The dogs were randomly selected to receive either a probiotic or metronidazole to treat the diarrhea. All were fed either an adult maintenance or growth life stage diet. Food intake and fecal characteristics were recorded daily.
There were 50 dogs total — 25 received the probiotic and 25 received the antibiotic. At the end of the study, 11 dogs treated with metronidazole were unresponsive, and were then given the probiotic.
The fecal scores of all three groups of dogs (including those that didn't initially respond to the metronidazole) improved approximately twofold. Even the parasite-infected dogs showed the same level of improvement at the end of treatment. The weight and body condition scores of the 50 dogs didn't change significantly during the treatment period.
Based on the fecal score data, study researchers concluded the probiotic "… is an equally effective treatment to the traditional antibiotic regime for the treatment of acute diarrhea in shelter dogs." The researchers further acknowledged that, "Antibiotic-treated dogs with limited improvement appeared to benefit significantly from subsequent probiotic treatment."
Another study presented at a 2016 veterinary nutrition conference also addressed the emotional and behavioral changes in dogs receiving a probiotic supplement.3
The study involved 24 anxious Labrador Retrievers who were fed the same balanced diet for 15 weeks. For the first six weeks, 12 dogs received a probiotic supplement and the other 12 were given a placebo. During weeks seven through nine, none of the dogs received a probiotic or a placebo (this is called a washout period). Then the same 12 dogs received probiotics for the final six weeks of the study.
The researchers evaluated certain behaviors linked to anxiety, such as barking, spinning and pacing. They also tracked the dogs' cortisol levels and heart rate to determine stress levels.
The dogs who received the probiotic supplement showed a reduction in anxious behaviors and other signs of stress, and their cortisol levels and heart rates also improved. In fact, 90 percent of the supplemented dogs appeared to be less anxious overall. In addition, 83 percent had lower salivary cortisol measures and improved heart rate variability, and 75 percent also had lower average heart rates.
When researching supplements for your pet, avoid human probiotics, and probiotics added to commercial pet food. Probiotic formulas used by humans were developed specifically to fortify the bacterial species found in the human GI tract. Pets have specific strains of bacteria unique to them, so they do best with a customized probiotic.
A few strains have been shown to benefit both people and pets, and emerging research suggests sporebiotics may also be beneficial for animals, but one thing that's important to evaluate for all species taking probiotics is viability.
The bacteria in a probiotic must be live and able to reproduce in order for it to be beneficial. That's why commercial pet foods containing probiotics aren't worth the money. Tests on dog foods claiming to contain probiotic microorganisms showed the manufacturing process kills too many of the live bacteria, rendering the probiotic effect useless by the time the food is packaged and shipped. When selecting a high-quality pet probiotic, look for the following five important characteristics:
And remember that your dog or cat should receive the majority of his nutrients from a fresh, whole food diet that is nutritionally balanced and species-appropriate. Also consider adding some fermented veggies to your pet's diet, since they not only provide a wider variety of beneficial bacteria than probiotic supplements, but also far more of them.
Another very beneficial supplement to promote healthy digestion in your dog or cat are digestive enzymes. High-quality digestive enzymes for pets should be sourced from animals, and should ideally contain some or all of these ingredients: betaine HCI, ox bile extract, bromelain, papain, pancreatin, protease, amylase and lipase.

With the smog weather over, Thailand is back to being one of our favourite regional countries to visit. The variety of food, shopping options and cultural offerings have always been so wholesome in this land of smiles. Whenever I visit, it usually takes me close to a week to truly do everything I set out to experience – this factors in the time it takes to actually travel and for accidental discoveries along the streets.
However, what are you to do if you do not have the luxury of time? Perhaps you can only spare a day or two when you visit for work, or a quick stopover, and yet you still want to be able to experience Bangkok, Thailand as much as you can. Well, King Power Mahanakhon Skywalk will get you covered.
Connected directly to Chong Nonsi Station, convenience is definitely the pride of this new space. That is not all. The building itself houses technological experiences such as a digital corridor, interactive lift experience and a motion sensor wall clock for a cheeky touch. Boasting a height of 78 storeys, you can be certain that there are many offerings that you can indulge in without ever leaving. Doubtful? Well, I am here to share with you the breakdown of this space and you may judge for yourself.
The first four storeys are taken up by the King Power Duty Free and Retail Shops. There is a range of internationally renowned brands to locally made products for your selection. Personally, I was taken by the choice I had with their handmade tie-dye products and usually these are only available at night markets. Imagine my delight at discovering that they had it right here!
And this delight definitely doubled when I got to an entire floor dedicated to Thai food and snacks.
One of the highlights of King Power Mahanakhon, the King Power Mahanakhon Skywalk is Bangkok's newest iconic landmark and destination for locals and tourists alike. It is currently Thailand's highest observation deck and it offers a complete 360-degree panoramic view of Bangkok. 314 metres off the ground and on a glass tray floor, the view is to die for and worth suppressing your fear of heights.
If you are lucky, you might be in for one of the loveliest sunsets the city has to offer.
After the sun sets and daylight slips away, go ahead and feast your eyes on the busy nightlife from this bird's eye view as the city lights glow from underneath your feet. And if you are feeling a cocktail or two, there is a bar right at the rooftop to indulge you.
Complete with shopping options and an amazing view at your disposal, King Power Mahanakhon surprises with even more tricks up its sleeve.
Floor 23 to 73 are the Ritz-Carlton Residences while Orient Express Mahanakhon Bangkok Hotel will occupy floor 1 to 18. You can expect to treat yourself with a pool, jacuzzi as well as a signature Orient Express Spa by Guerlain. There are two restaurants within the building as well, namely Mott 32 and Mahanathi by David Thompson. So if you drop by in the last quarter of 2019, you are certainly in luck.
Along with Mahanakhon CUBE – boasting the best dining experiences in Bangkok – as well as Mahanakhon Square which is a space that houses exhibitions, performances and events, a stay at this space is as wholesome as a week in the same city.
So come on down, even if you only have a day to spare, and let this space rejuvenate and reenergise you in all the ways you can ask for – taste, sight, culture and all-round luxury.

I got an interview! Instead of a "thanks for your interest, we're not hiring" email, I got a "Get here as soon as possible, we want to talk to you" email!
Minor drawback, I badly wanted to move to the PNW, but this firm is in the booming metropolis that is Wichita, Kansas.
(edit: I should clarify, I grew up in Wichita)
It's a good firm though, and Wichita is cheap.

Geekdom and other Youtubers announced over a week ago that inside sources had confirmed the return of Super in July of 2019 (which you can read about here), although Toei and IGN (which has worked with Toei animation in the past) were quick to deny rumors and attempt to hush the story altogether, the initial leaks maintain that the return of Super this summer is confirmed.
Geekdom has responded to Toei's denial by claiming that the only reason Toei is denying these rumors is because they want to be the ones to announce the return of the show themselves and build hype around the release. He also defended himself and stated that his credibility matters to him and he always checks any Intel he receives before posting about it. (he's been right about leaks and announcements previously.) Due to his previous reputation in all things Dragon Ball related, an enormous number of fans have decided to trust his word on the matter and have come to his support.
He's taken to Youtube again to post another followup video just now, and he confirms that he has checked with "atleast 13 different people" on the inside and is certain that Super returns in July this year and is currently under pre production, he claims the announcement should be made by Toei by the end of April or early May at the latest. Interesting to note is that his predictions seem to match up with certain Toei statements in the past, since the first part of Super initially wasn't very well received due to time crunches on animation and storyboards, it would make sense for the show to already be in pre-production around this time to ensure the entire crew has more time to perfect each episode.
Toei has also stated in the past that they've learnt from previous mistakes when rushing with Super production earlier and intends to increase pre production time the next time around.
Another point to note is that Super is not yet decided for a set number of episodes, perhaps like the first half it might go on for years but that depends on ratings and fan response, at the moment though there's no number allocated to the series run.

Random thought of today – Any writing is good writing, right? (write?)
I'm joining a D&D campaign later this month, and after being provided a hefty dose of world building (Thanks DM!) I ended up writing about 4-5 paragraphs about my character. Pretty fun, and I realized how much I actually missed writing. I don't suppose anyone would like to read my tentative background here, but if you are, leave a comment below and I'll be glad to post it.

Happy Almost Thanksgiving!
I was in a bit of an introspective mood this weekend, so in between writing about Aurelia and Aura and Julius and Constantine, I managed to write another poem. I really should be recording how many words in each of these poems, considering that these words would count towards NaNoWriMo, perhaps next year as I've already officially hit my goal, even though I need about 16,000 more words.
Anyways, this poem is about all the stuff that we build up inside ourselves, telling us that we're not good enough or not worthy enough. Whether its job related, school related, significant other related or family related, we all have walls around parts of ourselves. In the class I'm taking, they call specific types of this covering – covering parts of yourself you don't want others to see or know because you fear (Or know) it will disadvantage you in some way. So without further ado, here's the poem Walls.

Salve Facebook Romans! (Err, I mean real Romans!) As I'm recovering from the release of Steel Praetorian, I've been thinking about some things in my writing world I'd like to change.
Today we have a great article written by yours truly about Facebook and Advertising. Facebook (and to a lesser extent, Twitter and other social media sites) seems to occupy more and more off our lives, and everyone seems to be on it all the time. But does this popularity translate into more sales?

Hi everyone,
So I've been really thinking these last few weeks about looking for a new job, either within my local school system or elsewhere nearby. Part of me simply wants something new, something that I can see with fresh eyes. I would really like something different because I would hopefully be able to write more. In the past few months I have felt very unproductive as I have not typed as much as I wish I could have. School pressures and requirements have been very heavy and constant, so perhaps something different will let me be more creative at home.
What do you all think? Do any of you have experience moving from Teaching into another field? And while I might wish it, I am not in a place to simply rely upon my writing income to support myself. Maybe in a couple of years 🙂
– Daniel

TUESDAY 9 OCTOBER, BURTON IN LONSDALE VILLAGE HALL, 7.30pm
Pride of Preston, The Dick, Kerr Ladies 1917-1965
Forget Barcelona, author Gail Newsham claims that the Dick, Kerr Ladies is the most successful football team in the world. Formed by munitions workers in Preston in 1917, the team has quite a story to tell. Come and listen to Gail, the team's official biographer, tell it. It's a tale that has particular resonance this year, as we mark not only the centenary of the end of the First World War, but also the centenary of the Representation of the People Act – for all its limitations, a milestone in the history of equal rights. And then of course there was the World Cup… So Gail's presentation will appeal to history buffs, suffragettes, soccer enthusiasts of both sexes – and those who simply like a good story, particularly if it has a theme of overcoming prejudice. There will be refreshments and an opportunity to talk to Gail afterwards. Tickets £4 on the door (subject to availability) or £3.50 in advance from Burton Village Shop – on sale from late September.

The first two terms, useful and usable, are bandied around a lot in terms of user experience and design while the third term, used, barely gets a mention. Yet, as we'll come to see it may be the most important of the three terms to designers and b...

Draft legislation on women in the episcopate: amendments to be proposed by the Archbishops of Canterbury and York
1. We owe a great debt of gratitude to the revision committee for their dedicated and painstaking work. We wish, however — after much consideration, and after discussion in the House of Bishops — to offer legislative amendments to the Draft Measure which we believe might provide a way forward for the Church of England. We want as many people as possible to feel that there is good news for them in this process, and we hope that what we are suggesting may help secure the broadest degree of support for the legislation without further delaying the process of scrutiny and decision.
2. Successive General Synod debates have produced clear majorities in favour of admitting women to the episcopate in the Church of England. At the same time, a number of motions have also shown a widespread desire to proceed in a way that will maintain the highest possible degree of communion within the Church of England between those who differ on the substantive point, reflecting the 1998 Lambeth Conference Resolution that "those who dissent from as well as those who assent to the ordination of women to the Priesthood and episcopate are both loyal Anglicans".
3. The issue that has proved most difficult to resolve in securing these two objectives has been that of "jurisdiction". Once women become bishops, it will be possible to maintain something like the present "mixed economy" in the Church of England only if there is provision for someone other than the diocesan bishop to provide episcopal oversight for those who are unable to accept the new situation. The need for such provision is widely accepted. But what is still much debated is what should be the basis in law for the authority exercised by a bishop in this kind of ministry.
4. The various approaches so far explored have all taken for granted that there is a simple choice between either deriving this authority from the diocesan by way of delegation or removing some part of the diocesan's jurisdiction so as to confer it on a bishop who then exercises authority ("ordinary jurisdiction") in his own right.
5. The amendments we intend to propose involve neither delegation nor depriving a diocesan of any part of his or her jurisdiction. Instead we seek to give effect to the idea of a "co-ordinate" jurisdiction.
6. What this would mean is that:
• the jurisdiction of the diocesan bishop — whether male or female — remains intact; he or she would remain the bishop of the whole area of the diocese and would be legally entitled to exercise any episcopal function in any parish of the diocese;
• where a parish had requested arrangements, by issuing a Letter of Request, the diocesan would in practice refrain from exercising certain of his or her functions in such a parish, and would leave the nominated bishop to exercise those functions in the parish in question;
• the legal authority of the nominated bishop to minister in this way would derive from the Measure itself — and would not, therefore, be conferred by way of delegation; but the identity of such a bishop and the scope of his functions would be defined by the scheme made by the diocesan for his or her diocese, in the light of the provisions contained in the national statutory Code of Practice drawn up by the House of Bishops and agreed by General Synod;
• thus both the diocesan and the nominated bishop would possess "ordinary jurisdiction"; the diocesan would retain the complete jurisdiction of a diocesan in law, and the nominated bishop would have jurisdiction by virtue of the Measure to the extent provided for in the diocesan scheme — in effect holding jurisdiction by the decision of the Church as a whole, as expressed in the Measure;
• in respect of the aspects of episcopal ministry for which the diocesan scheme made provision, the diocesan and the nominated bishop would be "co-ordinaries", and to that extent, their jurisdiction could be described as co-ordinate — that is to say, each would have an ordinary jurisdiction in relation to those matters; and
• the Code of Practice would contain guidelines for effective co-ordination of episcopal functions so as to avoid duplication or conflict in the exercise of episcopal ministry.
7. The amendments needed to achieve all this will be brief and will not involve a radical rewriting of the draft legislation. They are likely to be confined to Clauses 2 and 5 of the draft Measure and are consistent with its overall structure. They would not require a further Revision Committee stage.
8. Thus if they were passed — and subject to decisions reached by General Synod on amendments tabled by other members — the way would still be clear to refer the legislation to diocesan synods if the revision stage is successfully completed in July. As the recent statement from the House of Bishops makes clear, the Archbishops and most of the House are persuaded that delay would not be wise or helpful.
9. Since the amendments would not divest the diocesan bishop of any jurisdiction, they would involve no change in the Church of England's understanding of the episcopate. But for those seeking ministry under this provision from a nominated male bishop, there would no longer be the difficulty that this authority was derived in law from an act of delegation by an individual diocesan.
10. An arrangement whereby two people have jurisdiction in relation to the same subject matter would not be unique. For example, the High Court and the Charity Commission each has jurisdiction to make schemes for the reorganisation of charities. Many courts and other bodies have overlapping jurisdictions.
11 Such situations are often described as "concurrent" jurisdiction — though this should not be understood in the sense of two different courts acting at the same time in relation to the same things, simply as meaning two authorities possessing jurisdictions that exist side by side. We prefer the term "co-ordinate" as less likely to give rise to confusion.
12. Where there are cases of concurrent jurisdiction in the law, procedural rules and rules of practice have had to be developed to avoid two authorities acting at the same time on the same matters. Similarly, our amendments will require the Code of Practice to give guidance on arrangements for co-ordinating the exercise of ministry as between the diocesan bishop and the nominated bishop under the diocesan scheme. The diocesan retains the freedom to amend the diocesan scheme from time to time after consultation with the diocesan synod.
13. Since 1994, the Church of England has managed to operate a practical polity that reflects continuing differences over the question of the priestly ministry of women. This has been possible not only because of the framework created by General Synod through the 1993 Measure and the Act of Synod but also because a great many people on all sides have wanted to make it work.
14. We are convinced that the small but significant changes we are proposing will make it easier for the statutory framework and Code of Practice emerging from the legislative process to create a climate in which mutual trust and common flourishing across the Church of England can be nourished, in a situation where for the first time, all orders of ordained ministry are open to women and men alike.
15. We believe that the amendments secure two crucial things:
• that women ordained to the episcopate will enjoy exactly the same legal rights as men within the structures of the Church of England and that there will be no derogation of the rights of any diocesan bishop, male or female; and
• that those who request oversight from a nominated bishop under a diocesan scheme will be able to recognise in them an episcopal authority received from the whole Church rather than through delegation or transfer from an individual diocesan.
16. It will be for General Synod to reach a view on these proposals, as on each of the many amendments offered by Synod members. We commend our suggestions to you for prayer and reflection, in the hope that we may emerge from the July Group of Sessions with a sense that the full diversity of voices in the Church of England has been duly heard and attended to.

In our town, everybody loves frozen yogurt. So, I asked 92 sixth graders which they liked better, TCBY or 16 Handles, two popular frozen yogurt chains.
The top flavors for frozen yogurt were cake batter, vanilla, chocolate and lemonade. The least favorite flavors were peanut butter, strawberry, graham cracker and mint. The most favorite toppings were sprinkles, cookie dough, gummy bear, Nutella crunch and Oreos.
If you were wondering who got the most votes, it was . . . 16 Handles! If you haven't tried either place, get yourself down to your local frozen yogurt shop as soon as possible. You won't be disappointed!
