Pet Care 101: The Basics for a Healthy, Happy Pet
by Adam Conrad
Pet owners have a big responsibility to provide for the needs of their fur babies while also keeping them safe, but many owners don't know where to start. For example, did you know that a great way to provide both safety and the freedom to play is with a wireless containment system? This is an alternative to traditional fencing. This allows your pet to roam while preventing them from wandering off too far. In the following paragraphs we will explore a list of the most important information about pet care to ensure that your pet lives its happiest, healthiest life.
What should I feed my pet?
A consistent feeding schedule will promote energy and overall good physical health for your pet, but make sure you are giving it an appropriate amount of food for its size! Each animal is different and has slightly different nutritional needs. According to Pet MD, most dogs require two meals a day, but the amount varies based on several factors, such as weight, health concerns (if any), and age.
Growing puppies will typically need a little more food to support the needs of their growing bodies and minds. For cats, the recommended amount of food is between ¼ cup – ½ cup daily, depending on weight. If you are unsure about how much to feed your pet, ask your vet or do a quick search on the internet browser of your choice to learn a little more about your pet's dietary needs.
Be sure to wash your pet's food and water bowls every day to prevent bacteria growth that can cause health problems if left unchecked. If you notice that your dog is experiencing stomach upset, check the label on the dog food.
According to a friend of mine who is a Vet Tech, most dogs are allergic to red dye, which is commonly used in dog food. Grain is another problematic ingredient for many dogs, especially Bully Breeds. Symptoms of a grain allergy can include loss of fur, rash and other skin abnormalities.
Many pet parents don't know that these symptoms can be the result of feeding their dog a type of food that doesn't agree with them. Simply replacing your dog's food with a grain-free option can make all the difference in the overall health of your pet.
What should I do to ensure a happy home environment?
Make sure that your pet has plenty of room to walk around, play, and generally get comfortable with its new home. Even small pets need some room to play! Just like people, pets can feel claustrophobic and even depressed if their emotional needs are not being met. It's also a good idea to keep a couple of toys around to prevent boredom and encourage learning.
Make sure you play with your fur baby, too! Pets need affection just as much as humans do, so make sure you set aside some time to spend cuddling and playing with your pet every day. Not only will this benefit your pet, it will also help you by releasing mood-boosting endorphins!
What can I do to make my pet's environment as safe as possible?
Make sure that your pet has a clean, comfortable place to sleep, eat and go about its other daily activities. More specifically, make sure that you keep all electrical wiring, sharp objects, cleaning products and any other household items that can have strong fumes or be poisonous if ingested away from your pet.
It's important to double-check that these items are out of reach of your pet, as they sometimes get a little too curious for their own good. For example, you don't want your pet seeing an extension cord, thinking it's a toy and chewing on it. If your pet is teething and needs something to chew on, provide a toy to help relieve the gum pain and help it release its nervous energy.
What about exercise?
Exercise is another important part of your pet's health and longevity. As an added bonus, regular exercise decreases anxiety, which in turn will lower the likelihood that your pet will struggle with aggression or other behavioral problems.
This is especially true for dogs. According to an article on Rover.com, it's a good idea to walk for about "five minutes for each month of your dog's life, up to twice a day." Of course, there are some breeds that will require more exercise. The correct amount of daily exercise for your dog can depend on many factors, so be sure to ask your vet if you aren't sure about what is right for your dog specifically.
Cats also benefit from daily exercise, and since house cats don't have as large of an area to explore as outdoor cats, they often don't engage in as much activity as they should. Taking a cat on a thirty-minute walk daily will help prevent obesity and other health issues that can result from a sedentary lifestyle. As always, if you have questions or concerns about the needs of your pet, ask your vet and do some online research to learn all you can about your pet's needs.
How important is housetraining?
Housetraining can be an especially tricky task that requires a lot of time, repetition and patience. One of the most important things to remember is to not get angry at your pet if it has an accident in the house. Your pet is probably still learning about and adjusting to its new environment, so remember to be loving and kind during the training process.
If you're training a puppy, the American Kennel Club recommends taking it out regularly to get your pet used to the idea of going outside to use the bathroom and giving it a treat when it uses the bathroom outside. It is also a good idea to designate a specific area of your home where you can lay out an absorbent paper pad for your puppy to use the bathroom on when you can't take it outside due to weather conditions or other inconveniences. Kittens are a bit easier to housetrain because of their natural urge to hide their stool.
This instinct makes kittens very willing to use the bathroom in a litter box, as long as it is kept clean and easily accessible. It is important to note that it is very difficult to housetrain a pet once it has reached adulthood, so be sure to train your pet while it is still a baby!
So, there you have it! Your beginner's guide to the basics of pet care. One last piece of advice: Remember that pet ownership is a journey, and you won't always be perfect at it. Focus on doing your best as a pet-parent by bonding with your fur-baby and following the advice of your vet, and everything will fall into place.

A cherished cousin of ginger, turmeric is a root that accounts for an excess of uses in our kitchen and lives.
Bright orange-yellow in color with a heady fragrance, turmeric has a unique earthy taste, with a touch of citrusy bitterness and the numbing punch of paper.
It is a staple in all India cooking, with its primary compound curcumin, giving quality that can often true against us.
1. Immunity Booster:
Lipopolysaccharide – a substance in turmeric with anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-fungal. Take a teaspoon of the spice powder in a glass of warm milk daily and you`ll see it work wonders as it reduces your chances of catching a flu.
2. Digestion Improvement:
When consumed raw while suffering from a digestive problem, turmeric can help treat the condition.
The major components of the spice stimulate the gallbladder to produce bile, instantly making the digestive system more efficient. It is also known to reduce symptoms of bloating and gas.
3. Cancer Prevention:
The compound curcumin present in turmeric has been known to interfere with cancer development in the body.
While the studies are in the early stages of research, curucumin shows promise in the fight against cancer and in boosting the becomes even more potent when paired with freshly ground black pepper.
4. Relief from Arthritic Pain:
Turmeric`s anti-inflammatory properties have been instrumental in treating osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. The antioxidant also destroys the free radicals in the body that damage the cells.
Anybody suffering from the condition should consume the spice on a daily basis to relieve themselves of mild joint pains and inflammation, though it should be understood that it does not stand as a substitute for medication.
5. Delay in Diabetes:
The anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of curcumin have been found to delay the onset of type 2 Diabetes in people with pre-diabetes.
It further helps moderate insulin levels and boots the effects of medications that treat diabetes.
However, it is important to consult a health professional before combining it with strong medication.

J. Cole is releasing two albums conspiracy thread:
On April 16th, J. Cole made the announcement that he would release his new album, KOD, which stands for three things: Kids on Drugs, King Overdose & Kill Our Demons. Along with questioning a cryptic title name, people also wondered if he would do a three peat of no features.
Two days later at 1PM CT, J. Cole reveals the answer by releasing the album cover and track list, which displayed the only featured artist under the name "kiLL Edward" on two different songs.
The immediate question asked was "Who is kiLL Edward"? An immediate Google search at the time led to no results. However, after some other research, on Soundcloud gave us an artist with the same name design and, at the time, had 6 followers.
There was one song posted titled "tidal wave (Just a little reference)". This is the track below:
So the first thing to immediately notice is that kiLL Edward sounds awfully familiar. That's because kiLL Edward is J. Cole with a lower voice. It's called "Just a Reference" so we as listeners get an preintroduction to the concept of Edward. So here is where it gets interesting:
If we go back to the track list, the only two tracks you can see kiLL Edward on two tracks titled "The Cut Off", and "FRIENDS". If Edward is Cole with a lower voice, why is he called kiLL Edward? This is because Edward is Cole's alter-ego, and the goal is for Cole to kiLL him.
Why does Jermaine want to kiLL Edward you may ask? Well, it's all described in the album artwork. It's clear that the cover represents a hallucinogenic trip with Cole as the king and drugged up children. And the track list cover has many different drugs with more high children.
This relates to the album titles "Kids on Drugs", remiscent of the drugged up children; "King Overdose", which displays a dangerously drugged up Cole with a robe and crown; and "Kill our Demons", what seems to be kiLL Edward's role in the album. Basically, Edward is the demon.
The album cover also says "This album is in no way meant to glorify addiction" – which pretty much confirms this album is going to talk about all of the emotions ranging from euphoria, danger, happiness and sadness when it comes to drug usage. This follows up to my next point:
The first song with kiLL Edward titled "The Cut Off" will describe the first mental challenge people feel when cutting themselves off drugs. This will be Cole rapping about cutting himself off and Edward (the lower voiced Cole, as his thoughts) challenging him to continue drugs.
The second song with kiLL Edward titled "FRIENDS" will describe that Edward (the demon that encourages drug usage) is so intertwined in Cole's thoughts (Cole representing the minds of kids) that they are like friends and cannot be separated.
So now that we know about who kiLL Edward is and what his role is, how does this mean Cole will release a second album? This is where it will all make sense:
There are two songs after "FRIENDS", titled "Window Pain (Outro)", and "1985 (Intro To The Fall Off)". We'll get to 1985, but first "Window Pain (Outro)":
The title "Window Pain (Outro)", clearly states that this song is going to be the conclusion to the album, as there is a song titled "Intro" at the beginning of the album. This song will detail the pain of drug abuse and how, unless you beat your demons, you will always struggle.
This will also detail the two of the album's three titles, "Kids on Drugs" – a story on how drugs affect the children, and "Kill our Demons" – how people will always continue to struggle with drug abuse unless we kill our demons, in this case, Edward is the demon.
The last song titled "1985 (Intro to The Fall Off)", is where everything makes sense. 1985 is the year King Jermaine Cole was born. This is where the third album titled comes into play, "King on Drugs", is about J. Cole's struggles the past three years since 2014 FHD was made.
J. Cole has already discussed his issues with depression on DJ Khaled's album, his struggles in upbringing and surroundings throughout 4 Your Eyez Only and his verse on Logic's album. This song will be detailing all of his struggles with his demons over the past 3 years.
And this is why it's called "1985 (Intro to The Fall Off)", because he recognizes that those demons can be beaten, and that this is "The Fall Off" from the demons he's been fighting for the past three years.
This means there will be a new turn for Jermaine, and that he will be going back to his roots, as he clearly demonstrated through his incredible verse on "Boblo Boat". This will be his last album of no features, which he has done because only he can describe his 3 year thoughts.
And this is why it says "Intro to The Fall Off", because that is the lead up track to a whole other album that Jermaine will release which will see him return to his older ways of Born Sinner and 2014 Forest Hills Dr. that demonstrates he has beaten his demons.
This album showed how Kids on Drugs can affect any kid if in the wrong environment or place in life. It even led to the King on Drugs, and the only way to beat this epidemic is to Kill Our Demons. Which he did successfully.
Whether Jermaine will actually release another album after this one is yet to be seen, this is just a conspiracy. But one thing is for sure: The real is back, the Ville is back!

A marriage is probably the most-awaited and thrilling moment in an individual's life. All thanks to the expeditious rise in per capita income, Indian weddings have become more grand and exorbitant affair. Over the years, the majority of the aspects of a typical Indian wedding have changed radically like the rituals, wedding attire, venues, and various other things.
We all know that photography plays a quintessential role in any wedding. After all, who doesn't want to capture their once-in-a-lifetime moments and relive them again and again with their loved ones? One common problem that majority of the individuals face is finding the professional candid photographer who can frame those priceless moments and represent them in the form of a beautiful story.
The principal question arises here is what is the definition of a good candid photographer? What are the parameters to judge the worthiness of a candid wedding photographer? We all know there is no dearth of candid wedding photographers in the market. Kudos to the low budget online photography courses, camera equipment on rental, you can find the self-proclaimed candid photographers at every street.
So how do you lend the best candid photographers in Bangalore for your wedding? Don't lose hope and heart. After doing meticulous research and person experience and blending them both, we have elicited some valuable tips that will help you to bring on board an excellent candid wedding photographer.
- Rely less on internet searches and more on words of mouth/face to face meetings – If someone is topping the search engine results as the best candid photographer that doesn't mean he is proficient enough. With online marketing techniques like SEO and Adwords, it's quite easy to portray yourself as the best one.
Instead of relying completely on the internet, also go for words of mouth and face to face meeting with the shortlisted photographers. It will clarify a lot of confusions running in your mind.
- Read testimonials of the photographer previous clients – How do you judge the work of any professional? Obviously on the basis of how many accolades he/she has garnered over the years. Read the testimonials of the photographers not only on their website but also on social media platforms and local listing sites.
- Reputed Associations – It is one of the best ways to judge the stature of a wedding candid photographer. Any professional photographer gets membership of reputed associations only when he has marked his presence in photography fraternity through his work. These memberships are hard to achieve and those who have achieved are indeed the worthy ones.
- Creativity – Clicking the pictures randomly is not a sophisticated art but clicking photographs that convey emotions and essence of the moment is indeed praiseworthy. Go through the work of photographers and pick only that one who can click some drool-worthy pictures and has an eye for detail.
If you follow the above-mentioned pointers strictly, we are sure you can bring an excellent photographer on board for your wedding events. You can also take the help of online wedding markets like Shaadidukaan to find talented wedding photographers at a budgeted price.

Calgary high school students at Canada-Wide Science Fair 2017
Curing HIV and diagnosing Alzheimer's: High school science fairs get serious
Gone are the days of high school science projects that featured misfiring space rockets and mould growing on food.
These days, Calgary students like Emily Gubski and Crystal Radinski are elevating science fairs to ground-breaking heights. Their projects could lead to a cure for HIV or a test that diagnoses Alzheimer's much earlier in order to improve a patient's quality of life.
Both of the students' projects sound like something an experienced PhD researcher would be working on. Their impressive projects have earned them a spot at the Canada-Wide Science Fair, May 14 to 20 in Regina.
DNA mutation
A Grade 12 student at Sir Winston Churchill High School student, Gubski's project focuses on helping people with HIV.
"I'm trying to find a way to mutate a segment of the DNA in an HIV patient in order to make them immune to HIV," Gubski told the Calgary Eyeopener on Wednesday.
Her project explores a mutation called Delta 32 that occurs in one per cent of the Caucasian population. "How it works is that a certain part of the DNA in your regular immune cells don't exist," she said.
"So they are lacking a certain receptor that's necessary to HIV infection. So if I can induce this mutation in the T cells of HIV patients, then once the T cells split a second time or third time … they will become immune to HIV as well. And over time you will actually get an immunity build up in a patient."
Volunteer stint leads to project
Radinski's project idea was influenced by a volunteer stint she did at a geriatric clinic working with Alzheimer's patients.
Watching the nurses, the Grade 10 student at Webber Academy observed that diagnosing Alzheimer's was tedious and time-consuming. Because the disease develops over many years, she was curious if there was an easier way.
She contacted people who worked in the field and says everyone was eager to help and the project developed from there.
She started recording electrical activity in the brain using an EEG on patients with a healthy brain and on patients with dementia.
"Comparing them, you can find the area of disconnection which occurs in dementia," she says.
'Possibillities are endless' for students
Both students say their projects have been easier to pursue with the supportive educational environment for high school students in Alberta.
"You can get a lot of help with any idea you might have," says Radinski.
"You're able to try new things. It's just the new possibilities are endless, essentially anything you want to do you can always do."
Radinski says her interest in the "fuzzy" area of brain research will hopefully lead her to become a neuro-psychologist or neurosurgeon.
For Gubski, the science fair is just the beginning of what she hopes will be a long career in immunology or microbiology.

You won't believe what we sent this customer in the mail (Hint: It will be a smashing success!)
A rubber mallet? Let us take a minute and explain. As a gift it probably doesn't make a lot of sense. You might be asking, why would Torklift send this to a customer? Doesn't strike us as the best idea for a new product either….
Nolan Sturgeon recently shared the details of his family's trip leading up to the Thanksgiving holiday on RV.Net's forum. As they maneuvered the back roads from San Diego, California to Colorado Springs, Colorado, they encountered breathtaking locations that included desert plains, wind-carved slot canyons, sun-drenched valleys, and even the blistering snowy landscapes of a national park.
Loaded up with their Wolf Creek truck camper secured by Torklift TRUE frame-mounted Tie Downs and FastGun locking turnbuckles, not only was the family able to safely travel through various terrains, but also endured a variety of weather conditions.
|Black Canyon of Gunnison National Park
|The Sturgeon family experiences
conditions of ice and snow
When traveling through harsh conditions, the truck and tie down system became weighed down by ice. The truck camper frame-mounted tie downs continued to secure the camper throughout the trip and the Sturgeon's were able to safely trek onward.
Torklift TRUE frame-mounted "Tie Down-sicles"
On RV.Net, Nolan wrote…
Well Nolan, you asked for it! Next time the Sturgeons take off on a new adventure with their truck camper, we hope the rubber mallet we sent them will come in handy!
Torklift International is dedicated to finding solutions for our customers. Nolan mentioned the ice added hundreds of pounds. Recently we released our all-new aluminum Talon Tie Downs. They are up to 50% lighter than some of our steel applications, corrosion resistant and just as durable as our steel tie downs.
Check out the aluminum Talon Tie Downs in this video here:
It's experiences like the Sturgeon's family vacation that hold such great significance. The ability to explore and discover new places and create memories with loved ones is a part of life we truly value.
Find your adventure. Travel safe…and share your experience with us!

Radiohead finally returned Thursday with the release of their new enigmatic and very intriguing video. "Man of War" is one of three previously unreleased bonus tracks on OKNOTOK, the 20th Anniversary reissue of the band's critically acclaimed OK Computer.
The song's string and piano arrangements are complemented by eerie guitar and synths that'll make your skin crawl. Topped off with Thom Yorke's robust, dark tone and anxiety-driven lyrics, "If you come home I'll bake you a cake made of all their eyes/I wish you could see me dressed for the kill," "Man of War" is what fans have been waiting for, and it doesn't disappoint.
But the video itself adds its own unique layer, as the consistent switch between night and day metaphorize the masked internal struggle of the song.
OKNOTOK is out tomorrow, June 23.

A few weeks ago I rented my Tesla Model 3 on Turo on a 1-Day rental. I'll share exactly how it works, how much money I made and why I'll never do it again.
If you've never heard of it, Turo is like AirBnB but for your car, well I should say it's probably more for your sexy car. No one is going on there to rent a (insert crap car of choice here).
Spoiler: My car is fine. This post is about being transparent about everything that goes into renting the car so you know all time and costs associated.
I purchased a Tesla Model 3 in Dec 2018; at 31 it's my first car and biggest personal purchase ever — I didn't even have a driving license when I got it.
I had the car in my possession a month before I'd even gotten a driving license for the first time (that's what happens when you live in New York, no driving required).
FAQ: Why did I buy before I even had my license?

Our Elton John AIDS Foundation Ambassador Nicholas Dlamini has been awarded the Amateur Yellow Leader Jersey to wear as the overall points leader in this week's grueling, 600km CapeRouleur. Today, he'll cycle 208 km in the race's longest day, all while supporting an AIDS-free future in his Cape Town home and around the world.
But before the race even began, Nic took a break from training to tour the Heideveld Community Health Centre with Rifaat and Abel, two of dozens of pharmacist assistants supported by the Foundation to work across South Africa.
"It was great seeing the work that the Elton John AIDS Foundation does in my hometown," Nic explained. "It opened my eyes to how quick and easy and important it is to get tested and know your HIV status. I learnt a lot today. People in the clinic are affected by HIV, just like their patients. They want to help people protect themselves and stay well.
He also visited the nearby home of an HIV-positive mother of two (he's pictured with her at the top of this page). She gave birth to her first child, who is positive, before she knew her status. Thanks to awareness efforts and treatments like those funded by the Foundation, mother-to-child transmission was prevented with her second child, who is HIV-negative. This is the sort of life-changing work that your support of the Elton John AIDS Foundation enables.
You can support Nicholas and help the Foundation save more lives with a donation to his Cape Rouleur Challenge today.
The Elton John AIDS Foundation has given over ZAR196 million (GBP£16 million) to 197 projects throughout South Africa since 1993, reaching over two million people living with and affected by HIV/AIDS. We continue to work extensively in and around the areas where Nicholas grew up.


text: UK 30 March 2015 The Trans Manifesto 2015: what do transgender people want from our politicians? The Trans Manifesto, launched today by the LGBT Consortium, aims to draw attention to the areas where trans individuals face inequality. Trans rights are an important part of the LGBT movement. Photo: Getty Sign UpGet the New Statesman's Morning Call email. Sign-up Trans campaigners are today urging all parliamentary candidates in the general election to pledge their support for the Trans Manifesto. The manifesto and online forum, launched today, allows users to view which candidates have indicated their support for the Trans Manifesto, and those who have declined it. The manifesto - which includes reviewing the decade-old Gender Recognition Act - is the result of conversations between 15 UK trans groups and was launched to draw politicians' attention to areas where trans individuals face inequality. Helen Belcher, a trustee of the LGBT Consortium and who also sits on the parliamentary forum on gender identity, said that over the last few years trans issues have become more obvious within the mainstream. "My view about four or five years ago was that protection trans people had in the law exceeded the societal understanding of trans issues but it wouldn't take very much for that situation to be reversed," she adds. "I think we're now at that point. People now understand a lot more about trans issues because of the general publicity. The law is trying to progress, but it's not progressing anything like as fast as the social understanding." At the tail end of 2013, trans groups met and agreed three core statements of the manifesto: 1. Respect trans people as equal citizens with equal rights. "There is a feeling that trans peoples' rights are sometimes subsidiary to those enjoyed by others. The passing of same-sex marriage legislation means that trans people who married in England, Scotland and Wales no longer need to end their marriage should they wish to seek gender recognition. However in England and Wales the process requires the written consent of the spouse — the so-called spousal veto. Married trans people in Northern Ireland still have to end their marriage prior to gender recognition. The Equality Act seemed to reverse some of the protections previously enjoyed by trans people, with some controversial exemptions specified." 2. Empower trans individuals to be authorities on all aspects of their own lives. "Provision of healthcare to enable trans people to transition to their new gender has been enshrined in case law since 1997, but many see the NHS process, usually provided through Gender Identity Clinics, as demeaning. The process of gender recognition requires medical reports, meaning that many have no alternative to the NHS process. However recent statements from NHS leaders indicate an acceptance that people who live with long-term conditions, such as gender dysphoria, quickly become experts with knowledge that matches or even exceeds that of medics. The gender recognition process also indicates that the state owns your gender, with trans people having to convince the state to change it. Those who don't see themselves as male or female (non-binary people) are also becoming more visible, but those two genders remain the only ones recognised in law and in government statistics and documents." 3. Develop diverse, representative, realistic and positive portrayals of trans individuals. "Trans people feel that media coverage has often been exploitative and sensational, rather than reflecting their real lives or issues that they face. Representations of trans women dominate, leading to the relative invisibility of trans men and non-binary people. Government could take a lead in de-exoticising trans people by including images of and stories from trans people in publications that don't necessarily have any trans focus." There is one vital element missing from the manifesto: health. Belcher says that it is still an overarching need for the trans community, but "the Department of Health said they can make statements but they have no budgetary power - they make no policy decisions for the NHS. So, that's why health hasn't appeared in the manifesto commitments." Paul Roberts, CEO of the LGBT Consortium, added that the manifesto is an exciting initiative for the upcoming general election. "[The Manifesto] shows that trans rights are increasing in importance. We'd urge everyone to contact candidates in their constituency and ask them for their support of the three principles." Update (30/03/2015): Emily Brothers, the first openly transgender parliamentary candidate has welcomed the launch of the Trans Manifesto. Brothers said to the New Statesman that Labour will build on the Gender Recognition Act 2004 by commissioning a comprehensive review of trans law and policy. Brothers added: "That landmark legislation [Gender Recognition Act] was amazingly powerful for some people like me, affirming our gender as we always felt it. Even though we've made some progress on this agenda, its right to look at whether policy in this area is fit for purpose and has kept-pace with developments in other countries." › How did Sinn Féin become contenders in the Irish election?

My husband is notorious for asking odd questions just to enjoy the perplexed look on others. His latest trend is asking our family if we are surprised he wasn't born British. Strange, I know. But it does give you a hint that my husband is quite the anglophile, as is most of his immediate family.
The first time I met most of his family was for Christmas dinner our first year together. While we travelled to his parent's home, where I was to meet his brother and a sister, all he could talk about was his mother's Christmas dinner. More specifically, the Yorkshire pudding.
I had heard of Yorkshire pudding, but had no idea what is was. It was pudding. So, I played it cool and worldly. "Yeah, Yorkshire pudding is pretty good," I said with confidence. As you may remember, I love pudding. Surely, I'd like this Yorkshire stuff.
After getting acquainted, his sister and I helped his mother with dinner. As we were setting the food out before calling everyone to the table, I carried out a pie plate with a large, puffy popover-like substance that smelled slightly savory.
"What's this?" I asked. "Yorkshire pudding," she replied.
Well, I was quite surprised but kept it together and gave it a try. Who would have known I was psychic. Yorkshire pudding IS pretty good.
¾ c. flour
1 tsp salt
2 eggs
1 c. milk
pan drippings from a roast
Preheat oven to 450°. Combine flour and salt in a bowl. Add 2 eggs.
Stir to combine. The mixture will be very thick, but combining the ingredients in this order will eliminate lumps in your pudding.
Add the milk and stir until incorporated.
In a pie pan, pour in drippings to cover the bottom. I used chicken drippings, so they are especially herby.
Slowly pour the batter into the pan. Do NOT stir to combine.
Bake at 450° for 15 minutes. After the 15 minutes, reduce heat to 350° and bake for 10 more minutes. Remove from oven.
Slice into wedges and serve warm.
Happy Homesteading,
Tips & Tricks:
Traditionally, Yorkshire pudding is made with beef drippings. Since I rarely make beef, we've started making it with roast chicken drippings. It's fantastic.
As soon as the Yorkshire pudding comes out of the oven it will begin to deflate. This is totally normal.
Yorkshire pudding tastes like a popover.

FUTURE: rising sea levels, strengthening storms, and changing precipitation in Monmouth County
Climate changes and the local environment:
Monmouth County spans across the lower portion of the neck of New Jersey, extending to the eastern coastline. A 2011 report from Columbia University identifies sea level, storm surge, and precipitation, all of which are expected to increase within the next century, as primary climate change associated concerns for New Jersey's coastal areas.
High concentrations of long-lived greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane in the atmosphere are causing warmer global temperatures. The result is thermal expansion and melting glacier mass that contribute to an increase in sea levels. Sea levels along the Jersey Shore have already risen 0.36 meters in the last century, and that number will increase sixfold to 2 meters by 2100. Moreover, a 2ºC increase in global temperatures will further this sea level increase to 4.7 meters. The renown beaches of the area will cease to exist as a result of sea level rise, negatively affecting marine life. Resulting higher flood levels will also disrupt wetlands and terrestrial life further in the county as they become open water. Plant composition and communities will, in fact, change, a disruption that will resonate with other organisms.
Warming global temperatures will also increase the amount of precipitation the county will experience. Early snowmelt will make for wetter winter and spring months though this will actually intensify summer dryness.
The warmer ocean surface temperatures are also likely to increase both the frequency and intensity of hurricanes that hit the area. Hurricanes increase both in frequency and in strength with warming sea surface temperature (SST). Projections predict more hurricanes like 2011's Irene and 2012's Sandy, both of which disrupted activity in Monmouth County, mostly due to flooding.
How we know:
These projections primarily rely on two tools that are freely accessible online: the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Climate Explorer app, and the Climate Central Surging Seas, Mapping Choices app.
The Climate Explorer tool uses weather information recorded by meteorological instruments at weather stations to reconstruct past climate changes. It uses supercomputer simulations of future climate changes under both high and low emissions scenarios.
The Surging Seas tool combines historic flood statistics and local sea level trends with global scenarios of sea level increases, which were compiled in the 2014 U.S. National Climate Assessment.
Human consequences:
The continuing increase in global temperatures will impact important industries, local businesses, and homes significantly as sea levels rise due to warming oceans and melting glacier mass. Beach erosion will contribute to much of the blow the region receives since they serve as a great source of revenue for the area by attracting tourists and allowing the growth of local businesses. The county's coastal lakes are also integral in its commercial and recreational activities, and significant changes in the waters present an alarming concern for Monmouth county inhabitants. Notably, the shellfish industry that makes up 66% of New Jersey's commercial fishing revenue is at risk as the population of such organism decrease as a result of ocean acidification.
Similarly, homes along the coast will be destroyed due to greater storm surges. Over 9,000 homes ($5 billion in property value) housing 18,000 people will be at a 97% risk if Monmouth County sea levels reach the projected 4.7 meters. Thus, the livelihood of the county's coastal inhabitants is in danger due to anthropogenic global warming leading to rising sea levels and flooding. The impacts of these climate change related changes will be especially hard-felt among low-income communities who have a high vulnerability.
Moreover, hazardous waste sites that in areas predicted to experience high level of flooding present an additional worry for Monmouth County as flood waters can release harmful materials. While 2100 and the projected sea level and flooding changes seem far away, the threat they pose calls for immediate action. New Jersey has taken several mitigation measures to increase the resilience of its inhabitants. However, these efforts only confer higher taxes on the population in order to push forward rebuilding initiatives.

Climate changes and the local environment:
Haiti is a country prone to extreme weather: floods, droughts, and especially hurricanes. Typically, hurricanes make landfall on the southern coast of Haiti, and as a result communities located there experience the greatest storm surges. The largest city on a south-facing coastline is the commune of Gonaïves.
The frequency of Atlantic hurricanes has increased sharply since the 1980s, and seems to have risen overall since the 19th century. However, it is hard to determine exactly how many hurricanes churned through the Atlantic before the widespread use of weather satellites. Our understanding of long-term trends in hurricane frequency may therefore be skewed by early underreporting of remote or short-lived hurricanes.
Still, it seems clear that major hurricanes in particular have grown more common as sea surface temperatures warm across the Atlantic, and particularly in the Caribbean Sea. Hurricanes are fueled by warm, moist air rising from warm water. The warmer the water, the more fuel hurricanes can use.
The most powerful hurricanes, with sustained winds at or above 130 mph (209 km/h), have rarely made landfall in Haiti. Category 5 hurricane Irma, for example, only lightly grazed northern Haiti. Yet substantial hurricanes have recently made made landfall in Haiti and caused catastrophic flooding in Gonaïves. Moreover, hurricane storm surges are higher now than they once were, owing in part to a modest but sustained increase sea levels on the Haitian coast.
Hurricane floods have also been slow to recede from Gonaïves, owing to surrounding mountains that trap water within the commune. Long-lasting floods have raised the salinity of soil and groundwater around Gonaïves, and have thereby repeatedly hindered rice cultivation. Meanwhile, deforestation on and around the mountains near Gonaïves has led to mudslides amid torrential rainfall during and after hurricanes.
How we know:
This summary makes use of reconstructions compiled by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Hurricane Center, which provides easy to use visualizations that record the history of hurricanes in the Atlantic Basin.
It also draws on an overview of changes in hurricane frequency provided within the U.S. National Climate Assessment, and a skeptical assessment of hurricane trends published by the NOAA Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory.
Human consequences:
Haiti today is almost entirely deforested, and that has greatly increased the vulnerability of its coastal cities to hurricanes. Beginning in the seventeenth century, European settlers imported slaves from Africa to work in plantations that destroyed much of the indigenous forest of the island of Hispaniola, which includes Haiti. Late in the twentieth century, impoverished Haitians destroyed almost all the forests that remained in order to exploit charcoal. With oil and coal too expensive for most Haitians to afford, charcoal provided one of the few accessible sources of fuel. Exposed hillsides now offer no resistance to floodwaters, and easily crumble in devastating mudslides. Meanwhile, nearly all of Haiti's watersheds are deforested.
In this context, active hurricane seasons can provoke human suffering on a vast scale across Haiti, and those seasons have grown more common. In 2004, for example, Hurricane Jeane dropped 13 inches of rain on the northern mountains of Haiti and caused catastrophic flooding in and around Gonaïves. Nearly 3,000 Haitians lost their lives. In 2008, no fewer than four hurricanes made landfall in Haiti. Floods were particularly devastating in Gonaïves, but overall houses belonging to nearly 800,000 Haitians were either damaged or destroyed. Floods swept away roughly 70% of Haiti's crops and thereby provoked widespread hunger and malnutrition. Festering flood waters provided ideal conditions for the spread of cholera, malaria, and West Nile disease. In 2016, Hurricane Matthew, a major category 4 storm, devastated southern Haiti and killed over 900 people.
Haitians have not remained passive in the face of these challenges. Recently, the Haitian government has partnered with international aid groups and celebrities to launch a major reforestation program. International efforts, meanwhile, aim at reducing social and gender inequality across Haiti, and thereby fostering resilience to climate change in communities such as Gonaïves.

Climate changes and the local environment:
For decades, global warming has increased sea levels in most coastal regions. Glacial meltwater has poured into the oceans, while warming water has expanded, taking up more volume and therefore sending sea levels ever higher.
Communities at risk of major tropical cyclones - such as Galveston county, Texas - have faced the full consequences of these changes to the world's oceans. Hurricanes are fueled by warm, moist air rising from warm water. The warmer the water, the more fuel hurricanes can use. While global warming has likely not increased the frequency of hurricanes overall, it has increased the frequency of exceptionally severe storms. Currently, powerful hurricanes are up to 11% stronger and more dangerous for communities such as Galveston.
A hurricane's winds usually cause the greatest damage to human infrastructure by pushing ashore enormous quantities of water. These "storm surges" are highest in powerful hurricanes, which means that they are more frequently destructive now than they have been. Off Texas, rising sea levels have made them even worse. Between 1957 and 2011, sea levels off Galveston rose by just over a foot, which has greatly increased the damage that will be inflicted to the county in a major hurricane.
How we know:
This information is derived from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) study that connects global warming and hurricanes. It also draws from easy to use tools that are available online: the NOAA State Annual and Seasonal Time Series, and the NOAA Tides and Currents resource.
NOAA's GFDL study on Global Warming and Hurricanes pulls data from published articles regarding hurricane intensity and temperature fluctuations since the 1800s. NOAA's State Annual and Seasonal Time Series is derived from the current U.S. Climate Division Database that pulls data from temperature stations. NOAA's Tides and Currents produces sea level trends measured from U.S. and Global Stations without the regular seasonal fluctuations due to coastal ocean temperatures, salinities, winds, atmospheric pressures, and ocean currents.
Human consequences:
Galveston became a major U.S. commercial center and one of the largest ports in America during the 19th century. Whenever a major hurricane hits the county, its lack of a sustainable drainage system leaves many of its streets inundated with water for weeks. Without adequate flood safety measures, today 320,000 people are forced to evacuate from their homes at the approach of a hurricane. When these people are displaced and Galveston's port is flooded, millions of dollars in goods from the commercial port are lost. Thousands of businesses around the United States that receive imported materials through this port are also impacted.
Because Galveston County has long had a major commercial port, it has a great deal of infrastructure that is vulnerable to hurricanes. In 1900, it endured the deadliest natural disaster in American history, when the 15-foot storm surge of the Galveston Hurricane killed up to 12,000 people. In 1970, Hurricane Celia, a Category 4 storm, came ashore near Galveston and inflicted nearly $6 billion of damage in 2017 USD. Then, in 2017, Hurricane Harvey inflicted $23 billion worth of property damage in Harris and Galveston counties alone.
Galveston County is extremely vulnerable to intense hurricanes, increasing local temperatures, and rising sea levels. As hurricanes strengthen and sea levels rise, the county may be hard pressed to survive the twenty-first century.

I like seeing some of the African or African American ladies who experiment with coloring their hair.
I've seen blondes, brunettes, auburns, honeykissed hues, strawberry curls and I've often marveled at how well the colors compliment the personalities and natural tones of the person wearing them.
I can't lie, the color does tend to add some spunk to our kinks, curls and coils!
With the knowledge that natural coloring treatments using henna dye will not damage the hair and can prove to be quite beneficial to a healthy hair regimen, more women are opting to go the henna route rather than commercial coloring agents.
But what if you are like me, a spectator on the fence who admires the color but only want the special benefits of henna like thick shiny hair?

Susanna Reid has laughed off speculation that she flirted with Alex Turner during an interview.
The BBC Breakfast co-host spoke to the Arctic Monkeys frontman earlier this week, with some viewers claiming they noticed a chemistry between the pair.
However, Reid dismissed the flirty nature of their interview insisting that she was simply undertaking a light-hearted chat.
"Who's Alex?" she joked to The Mirror. "I think it is a lot of fuss about nothing.
"It was another celebrity interview. BBC Breakfast will do the politics, the social issues and health issues and we also interview people who make great music or films.
"Those interviews by their nature will take on a lighter tone."
Reid will appear as a contestant on the new series of Strictly Come Dancing, which returns tonight (September 27) on BBC One.
Speaking about her first dance, she said: "I am going to fully embrace Strictly and wear the appropriate outfits for the dance.
"I am looking forward to it being quite bling and sparkly and magical and feisty and funky. It's part of the experience. People watch for the dancing and the outfits and the jewellery and the tans.
"I love a fake tan but I don't think I will go the full mahogany - I'll go a sort of salted caramel!"
Strictly Come Dancing airs tonight at 9pm on BBC One.

Ways of Telling Whether Your Teeth Should be Extracted or Not.
Teeth are very important parts of the body that should be taken care of all the times. With teeth, we are actually able to grind food into small particles that may be swallowed comfortably. They also ensure that you have been provided with a celebrity smile especially if they have been maintained in the right way. Nevertheless, a lot of pain and stress is likely to result from the teeth that have not been maintained in the right way. When the problem and the pain has increased, you may be required to make a tooth extraction so that your comfort may be increased. Teeth problem and extraction is something that may be done to the people of all genders and age. Once the teeth begin to fail while they are providing with their functions, it means that they actually require the extraction service. Consulting your dentist before the extraction process is however very important unless there has been an emergency. Since the extraction process is very important, the dentists ensure that they have carried out a number of tests to establish the best way of removing the teeth without resulting to more complications. It is therefore very important or you to ensure that you have visited the dentists for a number of times to ensure that they have explained the condition of your teeth. The importance of visiting the dentists from time to time is that they are actually capable of ensuring that you have been protected from situations such as these.
Overcrowding and impaction are some of the things that are likely to result to teeth extraction. When the teeth have grown very close to each other to an extent that there is no space between them, this is known as overcrowding. In many cases, orthodontia may fail to create enough space within the mouth through the adjustment of these teeth. If they have failed to create space between the teeth, it is more likely that they teeth are going to be removed. When the teeth have failed to grow out of their gums the condition is known as impaction. In the process, the only way for you to ensure that you have been provided with pain relief is through accepting to undergo a surgery where the underlying teeth are removed. Periodontal infections are other conditions that are likely to result to tooth extraction. periodontal disease is a disease that is capable of affecting the gums and the teeth, Diseases that affect the teeth also result to various problems that are capable of affecting the teeth. Additionally, if the teeth are affected physically through an accident or other processes, you may be required to ensure that they have been extracted so that the condition may not worsen.

Nostalgic livestock lorry flies flag for farming at 'Full of the Pipe'
Nine years ago, Kevin Mulqueen and Colin Hegarty ran the first 'Full of the Pipe' truck show.
Speaking to AgriLand, Kevin explained: "The feedback is that the show is probably in the top three truck shows in Europe."
The show has expanded exponentially from 90 trucks in year one to almost 1,200 trucks this year.
The event took place in Punchestown Racecourse from Friday evening (June 8) to Sunday evening (June 10).
- an indoor trade village;
- a drive-by decibel contest (with side-pipes on the trucks);
- drifting display in the main arena.
There were 25 different truck categories, with a group of judges accessing the various classes – from light commercials to vintage units, as well as new and custom trucks.
Trucks from Ireland, England, Scotland, Wales and Holland were present.
"Every truck entered in the show is in pristine condition. They're the real die-hard people of the trucking industry," Kevin commented.
"Next year is the 10th anniversary and the venue has already been booked. We are calling it 'The Party'.
"It's about pride and passion; it's a great weekend for everyone to meet in the one place and put a face to the name; they pass each other every day on the road," he added.

He will always be grateful to Lehman Bros for wrecking his comfortable existence and providing him with the opportunity to fulfil his writerly ambitions. Steve grew up on Hammer Horror films, Dennis Wheatley and M R James stories, so not surprising that his main aim is to put the frighteners up his readers. When not scaring people he likes to make them smile. He is a member of the Society of Authors, the British Humanist Association, and reviews for the New York Journal of Books.

A Slew Of Criticism
Since launching in 2009, Uber has expanded to 34 countries, bringing on-demand private transportation to major markets very quickly, and some may argue hastily. Because of this rapid growth you can surmise they have gotten the attention of many of us traditional transportation providers. Articles criticising everything from business model to questionable earnings claims have been hitting my inbox since they came on the scene.
Why We're Not Worried
To be honest, these critiques of Uber's business practices have never interested us. We simply have never been afraid of Uber. Gardellas Elite Limousine has been in business since 1984. We've been building our business relationships based on a simple set of principles. If you offer excellent customer service, hire the best people and give them the best vehicles to get the job done then customers will continue to use you and recommend your transportation services to others. But lately my inbox has been getting emails from friends outside the industry, and these Uber articles are creepy and borderline scary.
I don't believe everything I read, So when I looked into some of the claims against Uber drivers it was with a healthy amount of skepticism. What I found to be factual was enough to make wonder how Uber actually plans on ensuring passenger safety.
Decide For Yourself
In June of this year an Uber driver was arrested, after allegedly kidnapping an intoxicated woman and taking her to a motel. A police statement said that though there was "no sexual assault," there was "some fondling through her clothes."
Earlier in April of this year, Hannah Jegart tweeted Uber when her ride was interrupted when police pulled over the Uber car she was driving and arrested the driver, leaving her stranded.
Back in March 2014, a Chicago passenger sued Uber after one of its drivers refused to follow directions, and harassed and extensively groped the passenger. Police charged the driver with "negligence, willful and wanton misconduct, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress and false imprisonment." Uber will face a case of common carrier liability.
The Daily Beast's Olivia Nuzzi wrote about her creepy experience when one of Uber's drivers told her he had stalked and photographed her, and even showed her the photos to prove it. When Nuzzi contacted Uber, she was given a $20 free credit to say sorry—but also revealed it wasn't the first complaint Uber had received about the driver. Disturbingly, the driver then began reaching out to people Nuzzi knew—and Uber gave her directly contradictory messages when she asked how he knew her full name.
In Nuzzi's article she also lists many other instances of drivers committing crimes, putting passengers in harmful situations and acting completely unethical.
But Wait, There's More...
So what is Uber doing about this? There in lies the problem; Uber has maintained that by only operating as a technology platform, it bears no responsibility for its drivers' actions. In fact, Uber goes a step further. Uber states they do not hire the drivers, and when it comes to those drivers, they act as independent contractors. Uber claims it is only a technology platform that connects these independent contractors with potential clients.
We can only hope while Uber is denying their responsibility in part with connecting these troublesome drivers with unsuspecting clients that they start taking the safety of it's passengers seriously. Its clear there is a flaw in Uber's hiring or affiliation process and that process needs to be fixed, because passenger safety should be the number one priority.

United States and international authorities are expected on Wednesday to announce one of the largest corruption fines ever in a case involving two Brazilian companies, people briefed on the matter said on Tuesday.
The companies — Odebrecht, the construction company that built Miami International Airport, and Braskem S.A., an affiliated petrochemical firm — are expected to settle bribery charges in an agreement that could total $3 billion.
The charges stem from a global investigation by federal prosecutors in Brooklyn and by authorities in Switzerland and Brazil, according to these people, who were not authorized to speak publicly on the matter. The bulk of the fines is expected to go to Brazil.
In the United States, the settlement would be the largest penalty in a case involving a violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, a federal law that makes it illegal for American companies to bribe foreign officials to gain access to a deal.
The case is part of a wide-ranging political corruption investigation into the oil company Petrobras and kickbacks that has roiled Brazil, these people said.
Odebrecht, one of the largest construction companies in Brazil, has expanded aggressively in Latin America and Africa over the past decade. The company was heavily involved in work for the 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Rio Olympics, and it has long cultivated relationships with the country's political class, regardless of party.
Marcelo Odebrecht, a former chief executive of the company, was convicted of corruption and money laundering in March and was sentenced to 19 years in prison.
'Odebrecht, Together With Its Co-Conspirators, Paid Approximately $788 Million in Bribes'
Odebrecht, the construction company that built Miami International Airport, settled bribery charges in a case stemming from a global investigation.
On Dec. 1, Odebrecht published a statement apologizing for its "participation in illicit actions."
In the statement, it said: "It does not matter that we gave in to external pressure. Nor is it relevant that there are behaviors that the private and public sectors must resist and correct in their relationships.
"What matters is that we acknowledge our involvement. We were complicit and did not fight these practices, as we should have. This was a grave error."
Some 77 Odebrecht officials agreed to provide plea-bargain testimony to Brazilian officials, according to the Brazilian news media, which also said those agreements were awaiting approval by the country's Supreme Court.
In October, Braskem disclosed in a regulatory filing that it was in negotiations with federal prosecutors and the Securities and Exchange Commission in the United States about a potential settlement involving allegations of misconduct. The company said it intended to start talks with officials in Brazil as well.
In the filing, Braskem said that the negotiations with the authorities stemmed from an internal investigation that began in March 2015. Braskem did not provide details on the suspected misconduct.
Negotiations between the two companies and authorities in the United States, Brazil and Switzerland were reported earlier on Tuesday by the Brazilian newspaper Folha de S.Paulo.
This year, prosecutors in Brazil filed charges against the country's former president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, including allegations that he helped Odebrecht secure lucrative contracts in Angola as well as financing from Brazil's national development bank in that country. Mr. da Silva has denied the charges.
News of a potential deal comes months after federal prosecutors in Brooklyn secured a guilty plea in a case involving the hedge fund Och-Ziff Capital Management. In September, Och-Ziff's African unit pleaded guilty to bribery charges, signifying the first time a publicly listed hedge fund had paid a penalty for violating the corrupt practices act.

But for children, disappointment can come in numerous forms. Even a seemingly minor hurt can often seem like such a complete disaster that the child truly has a difficult time accepting and dealing with it. And, in many cases, such as when a beloved pet dies or a close friend moves away, the hurt can be very real and deep and won't disappear easily.
While responding to childhood disappointments can seem difficult, there are good ways to do it.
You can make a child feel less sad, avoid more serious emotional issues, and, when you respond well, help open communication that can strengthen the child/parent/teacher relationship.
How do you begin to respond to a child's disappointment?
- Listening is step one. Don't minimize or discount the story your child has to tell, even if it seems trivial to you. It's very real to your child, and a responses such as, "That's no big deal," or, "You'll forget about it by tomorrow," or, "Big boys don't cry," only serve to convince your child that the feelings are invalid; that you don't really understand or even care.
- Don't hurry in with a pleasant experience or reward to make the hurt go away. This can establish flawed coping patterns that carry over into adulthood and can present very real future problems.
- Talk "with" your child, rather than "to" her or him. Don't begin an interrogation when something seems wrong but instead tell him or her in a gentle way that you've noticed they're unhappy and encourage them to tell you what has happened.
- Don't be judgmental about what is being reported but instead offer sympathy and understanding. Let your child know you empathize because you've suffered your own disappointments. Don't try to top your child's story, but instead listen and sympathize. Just being able to share can do much to minimize the hurt.
