Inappropriate Urination and Defecation in Dogs
House soiling is a common problem, affecting up to 37 percent of dogs diagnosed with behavioral problems. Most pet owners train their dogs to urinate and defecate outside, and "accidents" usually end while dogs are still puppies, as they learn to wait for scheduled outdoor time. House soiling occurs when a dog regresses to urinating or defecating inside the house. This behavior is more common in male dogs that have not been neutered, although it can occur in non-neutered dogs and cats.
There are two types of house soiling. Behavioral house soiling happens when there is no underlying medical problem causing a dog to go to the bathroom in the house. The other type of house soiling occurs when a health problem is causing a dog to eliminate its body waste inside the house. It may have lost control of the muscles in its bladder or sphincter, or there may be an infection or other condition that is making it difficult for the dog to hold the waste in long enough to get outside. House soiling is the most common reason people give their dogs up to an animal shelter, making this an issue of high importance. The sooner the condition is addressed and resolved, the more likely the family is to keep the dog.

You will need to give a thorough history of your dog's health, onset of symptoms, and possible incidents that might have led to this condition. Your veterinarian will perform a thorough physical exam on your dog, with a complete blood profile, including a chemical blood profile, a complete blood count, and a urinalysis. This will allow your veterinarian to determine whether your dog's internal organs are functioning normally and whether there are any infections of the blood or urinary tract. If necessary, your veterinarian may order other blood tests to check the function of your dog's adrenal and thyroid glands. Fecal (stool) tests may also be ordered to rule out intestinal parasites or digestion problems which might be causing it to defecate in the house.
Your veterinarian may also order x-ray and ultrasound images of your dog's abdomen to look for the presence of kidney or bladder stones, tumors, or other diseases that would affect the internal organs. If no medical cause is found to be causing your dog to urinate or defecate in the house, it will be diagnosed with a behavior problem. If this is the case, your veterinarian may ask you to videotape your dog's behavior, or to keep a diary of when the inappropriate behavior happens.
An in-depth examination of the properties of urine; used to determine the presence or absence of illness

What do you get when you combine 43 hyper-energetic elementary boys, 30 enthusiastic volunteers, and a bunch of soccer balls together?
3 days filled with sun, laughter, sweat, and fun!
Boys from 5 different orphanages gathered for Jerusalem Ministries 4th annual soccer camp. Unseen Ministries is currently partnering with JM for a few media projects. I was honored to be the photographer for this event.
Starting with my favorite image. And yes, the image is not supposed to show the child's entire face. A few of my adult business students were quick to point out I had cut the boys eyes off. As if I didn't know…way to ruin the moment guys!
The 3 main goals of the camp:
1. Joy
2. Increase confidence in the children
3. Teamwork
Another favorite.
The boys were so proud of their brand new uniforms. They felt like real soccer players.
Even though it was 90 degrees, the boys were still so competitive.
At times, I would get distracted by my competitive spirit that I would forget to capture a goal or important moment from cheering and jumping up and down for the teams.
Those red cheeks are so squeezable!
Smiles during a group activity.
It was pretty incredible to see the 30 volunteers selflessly pour so much love and affection into these boys. The boys were soaking all the genuine love that many of them lack due to absent parents.
Here's just a few of the volunteers bringing joy to these boys.
The TRUST activity:
One student stands elevated facing backwards from his team members. He must trust his teammates to catch him while free falling into their arms.
It created for some pretty fun images.
The team members ask, "Do you trust us?"
The student standing says, "I trust you!"
Check out this 2 minute video of the trust falls.
Jerusalem Ministries Soccer Camp on Vimeo.
By the end of the second day, he officially rejected me from taking his picture too much.Even when I wasn't taking his picture, I'd notice he'd always refuse any attention or love I would try to give him.
I've never been rejected by a 10 year old before, but let me tell you it burns.
BUT, did that stop me from loving him any less?
Nope, it made me want to pour that much more love into him. No matter what he did or how many times he refused me, it made me try that much harder. Even though he may not have understood why a complete stranger who couldn't speak his language love him, I know in his core he was screaming for my love and affection.
This reminded me of our Father's furious love for us. Know matter what we do or how we feel, it will never change the Father's love for us even if we feel like we don't deserve it or even try to reject it.
So, did it work you ask? Yup. The last day he finally cracked and let me hold and love on him after swimming. Score for me!!
Can't you see why I couldn't resist photographing this little boy??
These smiles make my job so delightful.
Huddle time!
The clouds were pretty epic all 3 days.
The last day we took the boys swimming in the afternoon. Their favorite activity? Splashing and dunking the teachers.
The winning team was awarded soccer balls, new sneakers, and a delicious Korean BBQ dinner with the coaches.
The orphanage director of Jerusalem Ministries, John-Michael and his fiance, Sky. Blessings to you guys and your marriage next month!

Olympic event for the swimming community yet to be recorded.
Back on track though, so we have two extremely talented swimmers who were/are on top of the world as the best swimmers in their time and age. Has anything changed since Mark Spitz cruised to his Munich Olympic victories in 1972? Both Phelps and Spitz swam the butterfly stroke as their signature style, so after our discussion of the top 4 most common butterfly mistakes let's have a look on how these two super swimmers did it and how they compare against each other.
Apart from the obvious that Mark Spitz had a mustache, didn't have an access to a full Speedo LZR suit, didn't use swimming goggles and didn't wear a swimming cap, the most interesting differences come to light when we examine the video footage and photographs from their butterfly events.
higher drag coefficient and thus slower or more energy wasting swimming style. Michael uses majority of his energy for forward motion instead of the lift motion, therefore, making him much more efficient in the water.
One thing in regards to breathing is common between these two super athletes though. They both breathe every stroke. Michael does not breathe off the start and off the turn, but otherwise every stroke. The idea here is that breathing every stroke keeps the swimmer in the correct rhythm and it supplies the ever needed oxygen. Also, it was said that if a swimmer breathes every other stroke, during the non-breathing cycle, his/her body is deeper in the water, thus adding to the swimmer's dreaded drag. In contrast, with every stroke breathing, the swimmer stays higher in the water and has to exert less energy into forward motion propulsion.
What else is different? How about the way the arms move during the recovery cycle of the stroke (above the water)? In Mark Spitz's case, elbows are bent which causes a lot more stress on the shoulder, more energy output since more muscles need to be involved to perform the bent motion and most of all, the higher body position during the breath as he needs much more room to clear the water with his arms. Michael, on the other hand, has his arms nice and straight, just skimming the surface of the water which saves energy and also makes the arms move faster during the butterfly recovery phase.
I wasn't able to find a great underwater footage of Mark, but from looking at a short front facing video, we could see that he keeps his elbows quite bent on the entry and also his hands are producing a lot of bubbles. Michael, keeps his arms quite straight on the front entry and there are almost no bubbles under his hands in his stroke. You might be wondering, what the heck am I talking about, "bubbles"? And rightfully so. This is an advanced skill to master, but the idea is that your hand should enter the water so cleanly that you do not trap any bubbles in your palm and fingers. This bubbleless entry will allow you to catch the water much sooner and your catch will be more powerful since you are catching water and not air. Next time you are swimming, why don't you look at what your hands do in the front of the stroke during the entry and watch for the bubbles. Try to adjust your hand entry or your underwater reach, so the bubbles that are created by the hand disappear before you start with your catch.
As a side note, not really related to the butterfly stroke, check out the start differences. Spitz, as everyone else at that time is using a feet together start (grab start). Nowadays, track starts are much more popular. Also, most of the swimmers in Spitz's time didn't grab the block with their hands, instead they used their hands to swing their body forward. Today, the arm swing is only used during relay starts, but for individual events, everybody grabs the block and uses the hands to generate more power off the block.
There you have it. High level analysis of what swimming was like for Mark Spitz and how it has changed for Michael Phelps. If you spot any other differences, please share them with us in the comments. It is amazing how the sport evolves as our understanding of the swimming science becomes more astound. I definitely applaud all the swimming researchers out there who are trying to make our sport better. Well done and keep up the good work.

A missing child was found safe following an alert issued by the County's mass notification system early Tuesday morning, an event which has also lead to a policy change for the system during overnight hours.
"We are happy to report that our system worked as it was supposed to, and the child in this instance was located," Hall County Emergency Management Agency Director David Kimbrell said. "However, we are constantly evaluating how the notification system could be used more effectively in these types of situations and will now tailor its alerts to be received by those who are most likely to utilize them overnight."
He said only those who have opted in to Hall County Citizen's Alert System will receive notifications via text or email between the hours of 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. when those alerts involve non-life threatening situations.
"That means citizens who were automatically subscribed to the system using the County's 9-1-1 database of landlines will no longer be notified overnight unless the notification involves a severe thunderstorm or tornado warning or other life-threatening situation that would affect a large group of citizens," Kimbrell said. "This way, those that are awake will receive the message via text or email without causing a disruption to those who are asleep during those hours."
The policy change comes after the County received feedback that the non-life threatening overnight notifications via landline caused confusion for some residents.
"Our Citizen's Alert System is meant to help keep our citizens safe," said Assistant Hall County Administrator Marty Nix. "That's why we want to continually evaluate our policies and improve our communications in an effort to provide the highest level of service to our residents."
The Hall County Citizen's Alert System, an online tool which notifies residents of a number of issues, including severe weather, fires, floods, toxic environmental issues and in-process violent crimes, was launched in February 2012. The system alerts residents through a variety of contact mechanisms, including cell phone, landline, email, text messaging, pager, and more, ensuring that important information is received within minutes—no matter the person's location. In addition to being notified about emergencies, residents can also receive information about other important activities, such as road closures and water utility maintenance.
According to Hall County 9-1-1 Director Gail Lane, approximately 45,000 residents and/or businesses have been added to the system's database.
"The ability to reach all residents quickly during an emergency in order to warn them and provide guidance is critical to upholding our commitment to protecting citizens from any danger that threatens our community," said Lane.
Citizens can sign up to receive the mass notifications on their cell phone or via email, pager, etc. by going to alerts.hallcounty.org and clicking on the Citizen's Alert System link. That's also where residents can select what types of emergencies they want to be notified of and through what method of communication they'd like to receive those alerts. Residents who have signed up for the alerts can also opt out at any time online.

101 marketing for mobile app/game developers to get downloads
In the generation where everything is a mouse-click away from your reach, it is extremely easy to earn the knowledge to code & generate the strategies for the game you've always wanted to develop ever since you've indulged into the passion of creation & entertainment with the pixels.
It's true that they're the most definitive platform for showcasing your potential, but while broadcasting your skills, you need audiences with an approachable ear &creative thinking skills to appreciate your hard effort & pay you off. And for this very particular reason, you need the aid of the social marketing spider-web that helps you gather the possible network of connection from your peers & surroundings, assimilating into one single pixels powered podium to appreciate your talent & share, thereby enriching it to flourish, for a search engine optimization service in Toronto look for Green Genie SEO.
Marketing has been recognized as the most definitive way for reaching out to the masses. As more and more people try their hands into the developing of the indie games & apps that can be either too mainstream or unique, some emerge victorious by having support of the best digital agencies to have more management because of either it's very apprehensive and challenging or it might be just be the unique content designed completely out of the box. Either way, everything needs to be publicized & this is where the marketing for the indie games come into foreplay.
Creation & beyond logic:
The frenzied rush to develop indie games wasn't visible till 2008, but a guerilla gaming warfare emancipated with the advanced development of the Android &iOS platform that created the stage for even the wannabe developers & gamers to try their hands & skills into the creation. Development of the indie games is all about creativity & imagination & most important of all – challenging oneself to think outside the box.
One thing that should be prioritized about the content of the game is the potential targeted customer base, which would provide the game the threshold quality for gaining the mass popularity. This would unravel the major vacillation about the contents & quality of the games.
Once the game has been developed, the major experiment that should be performed on the newborn game is to perform a thorough beta testing – for which developers need to explore the sources for finding a small subset of players whose job is to actively complete the games, search for the major bugs & tweaks that needs to be handled immediately or a couple of furnishing tips to make the overall environment of the game look better and attractive. This concept of mini launch would deliver news to the world feeders about the recent breakthrough of any particular game, and it's channelized over the media source like
- Blog posts & video broadcasting by YouTube,
- DailyMotion,
- Vimeo et cetera.
Some of the popular channels on YouTube who are famous for game reviews include
- AppySpy
- Hot Pepper Gaming.Soft
Their launching helps to reiterate the walkthrough in a new broaden perspective, and also utilizes the fan base to gather the required threshold for the marketing budget.
Sources of the media that can be used fruitfully:
The aim for luring the publicity is to erect the potential customer base. Here are some of the potential ideas from https://www.tom-johnston.com/youtube/buy-4000-views/ that can be actually implemented for marketing the indie games, which are as follows:
- Blogging
This is perhaps one the safest method to communicate with the communities of tech junkies who review& blogs about the latest improvements in the gaming sphere. But, developers should be persistent enough to receive all the favorable criticisms & laurels, yet should be respectful enough not to persist & stalk reviewers about broadcasting their product.
- Video leaks
This is another vantage point for the developers, which can interest the customers by releasing mini clips, giving an insight about the gameplay in such a fashion that would kindle excitement, without leaking the suspense. This sounds lucrative, yet it should be performed with great perfection such that it would draw potential customer base without giving away much of the storyline of the game.
- Spreading words by mouth
Most of the time people do not give enough credit to the word of mouth as a means of advertising, which is a little disadvantageous to say the least. Developers should develop a taste to socialize & interact with the beta testers & the fanzine over live podcasts to provide a distinguishable insight about the game & its possible release date. This would help to spread the word among the players in a pyramidal connection that would only spread in the end. Developers shouldn't lose hope about the productive consequences since, some games skyrockets once they're publicized after several months. This is primarily because some hardcore gamers finally succeed in completing the game, which would raise the bar of challenge & encourage others to succeed. One can also attend gaming conventions of other gamers where meeting other gamers and getting their seal of approval via a simple conversation does wonders to the fame of your game.
- Press coverage
This might sound pretty exciting, but it's quite challenging since convincing the journalists about the recent breakthrough about any particular game & asking for broadcasting it in the local media requires multiple requests. Hence, the mails that are to be forwarded to the journalists about the game synopsis should be precise, catchy & distinguishable, with requisite bullets & headings. Obtaining recommendations from the prestigious gaming bloggers would enhance the change for getting the press coverage, which would feature your game & the ideas revolving to the evolution & further development about the software.
- A catchy smart headline
The lesser number of words the better. Brevity comes in handy in making up a headline, which should be just enough to lead on a reader in getting to know about your game. What is so different about your game that sets it apart from all the others out there? That is what you need to get across in your headline.
- Landing page
This is an evolutionary technique that would utilize Search Engine Optimization technique, where it would create referential links & ads about the game, that would pop-up in the popular webpage, triggering the curious customers to check about the source &appealing the audience. Make sure the link provided is not plagiarized, which would tamper with your creation's reputation.
- Hosting a website
Building up a website might prove to be best podium for showcasing about the game, particularly its details, gameplay, characters & the stages in the optimized yet, to the best extent. Websites can be the forum for connecting the URL links of one media to another, therefore building up a resourceful chain for bringing up the marketing base.
- Crowdsourcing
This is a two-end resourceful step, that would help to raise some credits for the game by exposing the details to the interested public, who would rate the game, generate a targeted RPG(Role Playing Game) and raise some funds that would be fruitful enough to progress further & encourage others to participate.
Marketing the game would be as easy as debugging & polishing the existing games, but it requires a quantifiable exposure that would be informative enough to establish your game as a major contributor to the market. So make peace with the marketing experts and shout out loud for your game!

Glasses that can read expressions
A new 'social x-ray' glasses concept dreamed up by Rosalind Picard from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology can identify human expressions, including whether someone is thinking, agreeing, disagreeing or confused.
A tiny camera inside the glasses works by tracking certain points on a person's face which it then runs through special software. This software compares what's going on at each point to a big database of faces and known expressions. The glasses then somehow tell you which kind of expression the person has.
You'd imagine that most people can pick up on these kinds of social cues automatically, but according to New Scientist we often miss important expressions because they're so small and quick. The glasses could also be a huge help to people that find it hard to understand different expressions, like those living with autism.

Florida, Illinois report travel-related Zika cases
Travel-related cases of a mosquito-borne illness running rampant in Latin America have reached Florida and Illinois, officials in those states said Tuesday. Cases of Zika virus— which health officials in Brazil believe is causing babies to be born with abnormally small heads— have also been reported in Hawaii and Texas. All of the U.S. cases thus far have involved people who traveled to Latin America.
In Illinois, two pregnant women who traveled to the affected area have contracted the virus, and doctors are reportedly monitoring their health and pregnancies.
"There is virtually no risk to Illinois residents since you cannot contract Zika virus from another person, but only through the bite of an infected mosquito," Illinois Department of Public Health director Nirav D. Shah, M.D., J.D., said in a news release. "But since this is a time of year when people travel to warmer climates and countries where Zika virus is found, we are urging residents, especially pregnant women, to take preventive measures when traveling in affected countries and check health travel advisories."
The Florida Department of Health has confirmed three Zika cases. Two of those people live in Miami-Dade County and traveled to Colombia in December, and the third infected person lives in Hillsborough County and traveled to Venezuela in December, according to the Washington Post. None of the residents are pregnant women.
An individual can contract Zika when an infected mosquito bites them. There's no vaccine nor antiviral treatment for the virus.
Most infected people don't develop symptoms, but those who do may have a fever, a rash, joint pain and red eyes — which usually last no more than a week, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
On Tuesday, the CDC issued new guidelines for doctors whose pregnant patients may have traveled to regions with a tropical illness linked to birth defects. The center advised doctors to ask pregnant women about their travel and certain symptoms, and— if warranted— test them for an infection.
The CDC said there is mounting evidence that Zika virus infection is linked to microcephaly, a birth defect that causes babies' heads to develop abnormally. Since October, more than 3,500 babies with the condition have been reported in Brazil.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

On the post I wrote Thursday, does it make a difference if Obama is deliberately trying to destroy America, or if he's just too fucking stupid to be allowed scissors with sharp points on the end? Because the result is the same.
Personally, I think the reason Obama ignored our Free Trade Agreement with Columbia is that he can't stand any country that's friendly with America. That's why he coddles and appeases our enemies and rebukes our friends. He hates America to his very core, and he cannot stand any country that's a friend to the country he hates.

Wee Piggle and I drove over to Arnside yesterday so that ace dog groomer, Hilary Gilpin, could strip Piggle's coat.
It's been amazingly long for ages now, but I thought it best to leave the stripping until now because the winter has been so cold. Hilary pionted out, though, that Piggle's coat won't have been keeping her either warm or dry for quite some time, because when it's as long as that it simply splits along the back, and forms into little ringletty things (Piglet calls it her Rastafurian look), so that wind and rain get straight through. Doh… I'll know for next time.
Hilary did a great job. Piglet has only a rather sparse undercoat–Hilary said that's probably because she's a blue and tan (as opposed to red or grizzle), as for some reason it takes longer for undercoats to develop on little blues, and Piglet's still only 16 months old (today, in fact!) In a couple of weeks, though, it'll have grown through and she'll look lovely.
It was great to see my wee puppy emerge again from under all that fur, and to have confirmation that I've not been over-feeding her. She looks pretty skinny to me now, but Hilary (who also breeds, shows and judges Borders, so knows what she's talking about) said there was "more than enough of her".
Anyway, here are the 'before' and 'after' pictures. Amazing, eh! As ever, click on the smaller pics for larger versions.

A civil action summons notifies you that you are being sued. A civil suit is a kind of duel. Modern American trial practice is a direct descendant of medieval trial by combat. These trials may be seen as contests to determine who is right. From the beginning, you must be prepared to defend yourself, and the moment you must begin your defense is the moment you are served with a summons.
Read the summons and all accompanying documents and take notes. Determine who is suing you, why, for what and how long you have to respond. The person suing you is usually called the "plaintiff," and you are the "respondent."
Draft a factual response to the allegations. The complaint must specify why you are being sued. If the complaint says you did X on a certain date and you did not, include that fact in your response.
Read More: How to File an Answer to a Summons
Consult with an attorney to determine if there are areas of law that should be disputed in your response to the complaint, such as whether you were properly notified of the lawsuit. Ask the attorney what form you should use to file your response.
File a written response to the complaint on the proper form with the clerk of the court that issued the document within the time period specified on the summons. File any additional forms required by the court, such as a case information or cover sheet, and pay a fee, which varies by jurisdiction. You usually have 20 to 30 days to respond, but check the summons to be sure. Unless you file a written response, you may lose the lawsuit by default.
Send a written copy of your response by certified mail to the person who is suing you or to his attorney. In some jurisdictions, the response must be certified by the court clerk.
File a proof of service form, in some jurisdictions, with the court clerk to prove you have notified the plaintiff of your response. The cost for this filing also varies by jurisdiction.

We have other blogs where we talk about what not to do when blogging or how to write a blog, but the focus of this blog (how many times have I said blog already?) is going to be how to blog for your niche.
Let's just clarify why we love blogging. Beyond the benefits of SEO and networking, when you blog, it gives you a chance to connect with your potential client. It is an outlet to demonstrate some of your knowledge and expertise while bringing value and building trust. When you blog, you need to keep your niche in mind and give them information that can help them in some way.
When you choose your niche, you spend the time to get to know the demographics and the psychographics of the person you would love to help. We talk about this in one of our webinars about how we want your ideal clients to resonate with you so clearly, they wonder if you have been following them around all day because you just understand them so well.
When you "get" your niche, then you understand their pain points and their aspirations. Those are the things you speak to in your blogs. Have a conversation and share some of your knowledge about what they are going through. This isn't therapy, but it is a chance for education and building trust.
When you blog think about the takeaway. What is the point and purpose? What is the value? If you can't come up with an idea, then it isn't a blog that is best for your marketing. Now the value can be purely inspirational, it doesn't have to be a homework assignment. But you want to speak to the needs of your niche. Our clients tell us how they get calls after someone found their website, read their blog and felt they just connected with what was written. That is the best feeling!
Oh! And some last minute tips – Your blogs don't have to be written. You can do a vlog (video) or audio and have it transcribed. You may also submit blogs to other sources. Your niche may not find your website, but they might be reading Huffington Post or Elephant Journal. The research on your niche will help you find places where you can have your voice be heard.
So now what should you write about? Check out this blogging topic guide to get your creative juices flowing.

"Wikileaks is …": Public Opinion in the US on the Wikileaks Release
Related to my previous post, one of the other fascinating things to observe about the Wikileaks release of cables from the US to other foreign governments is how the event seems to serve as a blank canvas upon which people can paint their own perspective.
I don't watch much of the traditional newsmedia, but it seems as though the US public isn't really of a single, cohesive mind on the case. This would make sense given that audiences continue to fragment, and the news sources selected by most in the US cater to their particular flavor of opinion.
Check out what Google's analytical tools show people searching for when referencing Wikileaks:
It would be interesting to see what context/terms the people of OTHER nations are using to search for Wikileaks information – I'd enjoy seeing screen caps or other analytics data if anyone has it.

In the spirit of 4Chan:
Anyway, I'm rather disappointed in the reactions of other governments and the American government. There should be some outrage against how we conduct ourselves as Americans oversees, and there should be more anger from foreign governments about what's been released.
It's been the exact opposite. Despite all the Internet babble about it (including my own), it's been largely focused on villifying Assange and WikiLeaks. There is a move to actually make our communications more secure, to be more secretive. The backlash to WikiLeaks outstrips the backlash agains the US government.
Granted, diplomacy has been conducted by virtually every country exactly like this for decades, and part of it is that it's a game that you don't break the rules in. Exposing cables, and the threat of having your cables exposed, is considered dirty pool by nearly every government in existance. Spying is implied. Pressuring other governments to do your dirty work is implied. But never revealed. If you do, you're the enemy to world diplomacy.
I'm enjoying discussing these things with people, even the rednecks and conspiracy nuts. It's a good thing to talk about, if just to realize how futile things are in modern times. Keep up the good work.

text: Doug Gottlieb has heard all the rumors that Aaron Rodgers was responsible for getting Winston Moss fired in Green Bay but thinks the answer is much simpler than that. Winston Moss took to social media and showed the franchise that he wasn't on the same page and that is what truly got him canned. He wasn't wrong but he certainly didn't need to publicly discuss issues that should've stayed behind closed doors.
