Does anyone have pet chickens/other poultry/farm animals?
I was just wondering if anyone else has chickens. ducks, rabbits, pot bell pigs, etc. as pets.
I have three sweet and beautiful hens. Unfortunatley, I bought then as chicks and didn't adopt them from a rescue. (Plan on doing it next time around.) Still, they have a much better life then most chickens. Full run of my backyard, sleep inside and lots of hugs and kisses.
Has anyone adopted a farm animal or support a sanctuary?
Vegheadzelia used to have a chicken rescue....she's the only one that I can think of off the top of my head.
We have two chickens, and my mom has four. One is a rescue, and a couple are from a little girl at the county fair. My mom always says chickens aren't for the faint of heart. My japanese bantam is 6 and still lays in the summer.
I have a bunny. :)
Katie claims that a chicken used to live with her when she was little. She named it Henrietta Clucky, and she was very sad when it passed away.
I volunteer for a rabbit sanctuary and a farm rescue sanctuary and in a bout a month I will be traveling to Washington state to intern for three month at another farm sanctuary--I love working with the animls--they are so amazing and just extra cool! I especially love the goats--I really think I would like to have my own sanctuary one day <3
I totally want to get some miniature goats! When I have a house, hopefully...
My hubby wants to get chickens. :chicken: :)
I have a rabbit too. She was discovered abandoned under a loading dock in a cage.
Odd location to dump a bunny. It was my old artist loft building... artists take in animals cast away by regular society?
yeah thats right, mirya, I did have a chicken rescue. My chickens were indoor chickens and got to have supervised time out in the back yard. I loved them and still miss them :)>>> When I have my own place I plan on doing that again.
Growing up we had pet goats and chickens (as well as the typical milieu of dogs, cats, fish, turtles, etc.)
My plan is to one day have a farmed animal sanctuary too...maybe capture and I can colaborate on that one??
We have three Bunnies. Hercules, Jenny, and Shane. We got them all from Pet Stores (I know, major bad idea...we don't like supporting breeders). But we felt really bad especially for Hercules. He has no front feet and is somewhat deformed. He has little pads on the ends of his nubs kind of like the pads on the bottom of a dogs foot. We were worried someone would take him in and not be able to care for him or end up not wanting him and passing him from house to house. Jenny is his sister and we got her so he wouldn't be lonely. Then we got Shane who we just couldn't pass up. She's a HUGE rabbit and very friendly and loving. She will literally hop up on the couch and watch TV with you if you let her. I felt like she instantly took to us in the Pet Store. Keri actually said we couldn't get her but ended up making a promise to me. She said if she was still at the Pet Store one week later and nobody had taken her we could come back and get her...so that's exactly what we did :).
Now we're saying we need to get a 4th rabbit (yikes) because Shane can't seem to get along with Hercules and Jenny no matter how many times we try to bond them. So we want to take Shane somewhere and let her sort of pick out a friend that she will get along with so she isn't all alone and lonely in her cage. Preferably from the House Rabbit Society so we can rescue a bunny :).
:bunny: :rabbit2:
yep a chicken!! it was my dogs best friend
i had a pet chicken when i was in the caribbean.. she was a wild street chicken and just came and went as she pleased.. but i would feed them everyday and they were always around my house.. her name was bahk-a-bahk and she had a bunch of babies.. i loved her but couldnt take her with me when i moved back to the US..
also theres a chicken around the corner from me that the guys in this art studio saved from a live market.. he is a HUGE! white rooster named mr. rocky horror.. i pet him and scratch him when i walk by everyday.. :)
man, chickens are awesome! i really wish i could save some and let them live with me.. i love them so much
I personally don't own any animals, but I've worked with numerous horses that have been rescued from slaughterhouses and the track over the years. Up until he was put down, my horse Battle had been (mentally) recuperating from years on the track. Poor boy :( I love working with the rescue animals at sanctuaries in the area, those guys really are fantastic and lucky to be there.
There is a chance that we may end up taking in a rooster. I've never kept chickens, but I presume he'll want to have a few females around. I have a question for all you chicken-tenders...what is the best ratio of chickens to rooster? I don't want more chickens than absolutely necessary (initially anyway), but I'd like to keep all parties happy. Would 3 chickens be enough?
There are probably folks better placed than me to advise -- my family had chickies while I was growing up, but I haven't had any since I 'flew the coop' myself, so to speak... But here's what I'd be concerned about: the rooster will make whoopie like crazy with the hens, if memory serves (!), leading to many fertilized eggs... some of these will become hens, which said rooster will also make whoopie with like crazy; others will be roosters, which tend to fight (sometimes viciously) among themselves and with daddy-rooster... and of course, roosters are typically not easy to place as pets, so it'd be hard to find homes for them that didn't involve (gulp) unacceptable outcomes of a culinary nature... and in a closed/ small chicken society like that, inbreeding can cause health problems pretty quickly, and there's the possibility of ending up with LOTS of chickens (which dogs are notorious for, er, NOT bonding with easily in a non-prey type of venue!)...
Idk, would it be less problematic to consider another species of fowl for companionship, like a duck or a guinnea or something? Or... can hens be spayed, lol?! You may have already thought all this out, & I'm just being a worrywart... but I remember my folks struggling with this issue, of always having more chickies than planned on/ often having 'fighters' amongst the boys, trying to hurt each other... maybe specific breed of bird makes a difference? I don't recall what kind ours were...
I'm so glad you're taking him in! Wish I had more to offer... these are just some of the things I'd consider; hopefully more experienced chicksters will chime in, & we can both learn more. Chickens are fun! someday I'll have a few hens again... don't know if I could handle both genders together, tho; seems to complicate things a good bit!
Thanks HCM, food for thought. I've been focusing mostly on building a coop and trying to catch the damn thing and I hadn't considered the longer term inbreeding possibilities. Hm. I may ask the vet about spaying a hen just to see the look on her face, but the duck idea sounds doable. I'm definitely concerned about the dog issue. I'll just do my best to prevent bloodletting and work on getting everyone accustomed to having a bird around. Strangely, I'm more concerned that one of our cats will harass him/them. That cat is a menace. He bullies stray dogs! Big stray dogs!
I hadn't thought about keeping chickens without a rooster. If a predator gets to him before I do (right now he's free range and on his own.), I may get a few chickens anyway. The coop is built, I'm interested to know a chicken and it will be good for the dogs (hopefully the chickens too). We have a friend in town that keeps chickens, I'm sure they must occasionally have a few too many.
PLEASE do, tho, seek info other than mine -- remember I'm talking from childhood memories & such... maybe it wouldn't really be that bad; just investigate! :)
Most of the time, unless a doggie is already a confirmed chicken-chaser, dog-savvy folk (such as yourself!) can mandate peaceful relations... I'm excited at the prospect, on your behalf! When it's all finished, I'd love to see pics of your coop... how did you build it? What did you need? How long did it take, and what resources were helpful? (Brain-pickin' alert!... I'm not 'handy', but have a master's degree, gosh-darnit! I should be able to build a chicken coop if I want, right?!... er, maybe?!)
Have you named yon feral rooster yet?
Sadly, I think the rooster may have come to a bloody end. So infuriating! There was no reason for him or all of his chickens to die. If the woman who used to keep them had just mentioned it to us a month ago, instead of abandoning them, all would be well. $#^@! humans. The especially irritating thing is that -of course she has lost no sleep over it, but the hubby and I have spent countless hours dealing with it, just to have them all killed anyway.
The chicken coop is built in Yucatecan style, which means bodged together with whatever I had around. A few old doors, some wire, bamboo and an old tarp....compared to what they had, it's pretty posh. It survived some pretty strong winds last night, so it's sturdy. Now the question is to tear it down or get a few chicks.
$#^@! humans.
Amen... $#^@! $#^@! $#^@!!! >:(
WHY are people LIKE this???!!! I suffer from acute anthropomorhoembarrassment: I'm ashamed of my species... sometimes it's hard to hold my head up, around the other creatures, knowing what a pain in the ass MY kind are to everyone else... :-[
Don't tear it down! at least not yet... unless you need the materials or space, I'd leave it for a while & see if new function for it emerges... btw, guinneas eat fleas & ticks in the yard, and are very comical yard pets. Just sayin. ::)

|Phase 1
Promotion of optimal disease care and metabolic control in youth with Type 1 diabetes is an important goal of disease management during early adolescence. Typically youth assume increasing responsibility for these goals along with parental involvement and guidance. However, as youth progress through adolescence, parents often become less involved in diabetes management and poorer self-care and metabolic control often results.
The goal of the prevention program is to encourage parents to remain involved in their child's diabetes care throughout adolescence and to provide tools to help make that involvement a positive experience. To minimize parent/child conflict that may accompany sustained parental involvement, sessions of the active treatment review the following coping skills: communication, problem solving, conflict resolution, attitude and behavior change. Meetings occur in-clinic in conjunction with four consecutive medical appointments.
The educational comparison group also meets with study researchers for in-clinic sessions that occur in conjunction with four consecutive medical appointments. Families discuss a variety of helpful educational diabetes topics and resources.
The overarching project goal is to demonstrate the efficacy of a brief, prevention focused coping skills program for youth with type 1 diabetes and their parents with the ultimate goal of translation into routine pediatric care.

The Banner Saga 2 may have under-performed sales-wise, but developer Stoic is more concerned with the bigger picture — and capping off its RPG trilogy with The Banner Saga 3.
Speaking with GamesIndustry.biz, Studio Founder John Watson touched base on the franchise's future and crowdfunding options, before conceding that TBS 3 is "probably gonna cost around $2 million to make." Watson is also cautious about adhering to a crowdfunding model so early on in development.
"Is taking investor money gonna make the game sell? Is it gonna make it $1 million more profitable? No. It'll make it a little bit better; we could spend some of that money maybe doing some more animations, maybe we increase the quality level a little bit. The quality has to reach a certain bar for people to accept it as a sequel, because we set that bar for ourselves. But beyond that it won't really affect the profitability. It would be a vanity thing. We just want to make it better."
Late last year, The Banner Saga 2 was featured on Xbox's Games With Gold series, and while Watson notes that Microsoft and Stoic had previously agreed terms, sales of the sequel had a knock-on effect on the original.
"Those things help, and then the launch of The Banner Saga 2 drove sales of Banner Saga. If you look at The Banner Saga as a franchise – all the platforms and both the games – it's generating about the same revenue… It's like building a wedge. Banner Saga 3 might sell a third of what Banner Saga 2 did, but it should lift up the other games. That's what we're betting on."
Last we reported on The Banner Saga 3, it was revealed that developer Stoic is targeting a simultaneous launch across all platforms — a first for the series — though there's currently no mention of when that'll be. It is coming, though, with Watson hinting that the dev team owe it to both the fans and the franchise itself to craft a third instalment.
"We have to do it," Watson says. "We set out to make this trilogy. We can't leave the story unfinished."

Coldwell Banker has launched it's own program in extending the $8000 tax credit momentum! While this program has nothing to do with the actual federal tax credit, many of the details coincide with the tax credit rules. Under the Buyer Bonus Sales Event, seller's can voluntarily sign up to offer buyers a credit of 3% – up to a maximum $8000 – off the home's accepted sales price, and to be applied towards the buyer's closing costs.
In reality, the "credit" is simply a discount off a listing's asking price that a seller has honored beforehand (the seller will be netting that much less in the final sale proceeds). Closing cost credits are common in real estate transactions, and can in some cases be more advantageous to buyers than a simple home-price reduction of the same amount, as it can mean that a buyer is not required to bring as much cash to the closing table.
Overview of Buyer Bonus criteria:
* The promotion begins May 1st, 2010 and ends July 31st, 2010 (the property has to be under contract by that date)
* No income limits
* No limits on the price of the home
* No restrictions on whether they were a first time home buyer or owned a home before
* Distressed REO or short sale properties are not eligible to participate
* Subject to the Buyer's lenders requirements and limitations (if any), the buyer can apply the buyer bonus credit toward anything associated with the purchase price of the home that is contained on the HUD-1 Settlement Statement – from closing costs, to prepaid loan items (taxes/insurance, etc), mortgage rate buydowns or any other lender approved items.
* The closing credits cannot include repair items (these are not allowed by any lenders), as they could affect the value or appraisal of the property
* If a buyer pays cash, the seller can provide the buyer a credit for the full 3% Buyer bonus (not to exceed the $8000)
If you have any further questions about potential loans and what might qualify for seller credits you can call me on my cell at 561-866-2927 or contact Noel Livingstone, who is a Senior Loan office at Sunbelt Lending. You can visit him at his personal webpage – and even apply for your loan – at Sunbelt Lending, Sunbelt Lending Noel Livingstone. He can be reached directly on his cell phone at (561) 843-1983 if you have any further questions.
View Listings Participating in the Buyer Bonus Program on my:
Featured Homes page – Buyer Bonus Listings.
What kind of lender requirements may exist for buyers?
* The Buyer's lender may have restrictions on the type of expenses the credit may be applied to and the total amount that will be allowed. Generally speaking:
* For a 90% or higher loan – many lenders will allow a maximum of 3% of the purchase price as credits or incentives.
* For a loan of less than 90%, many lenders allow up to 6% of the purchase price for credits and incentives. Each lender differs and the buyer must personally determine what requirements or limitations may exist with their chosen lender.
According to a company survey, about 34% of Coldwell Banker's agents and brokers said the federal tax credit was the main reason their clients were looking for a home, and 28% said that the government credits' limitations would keep some potential buyers out of the market.
For information on any of these Buyer Bonus listings, or the Boca Raton and South Florida area, please call or text me at 561-866-2927 or send me an email!

Doesn't Make-A-Wish just send kids to Walt Disney World®?
No, Disney wishes are just 56% of all the wishes we do. Other popular requests include computers, shopping sprees, trips to Hawaii, celebrity meetings and swimming pools.
What can a child wish for?
We like to say that a wish is only limited by a child's imagination; however, some restrictions do apply to protect the safety of the child.
What if the child becomes sick again? Can they have another wish?
No, every eligible child may have one wish from Make-A-Wish. In addition, if a child has received a wish from another wish granting organization, they are ineligible to receive a wish from Make-A-Wish.
How much does it cost a family to have a wish granted?
There is no cost to the family. Generous donations make it possible for us to make this commitment to wish families.
Can the child's family participate in the wish?
Yes, the wish experience extends to the entire immediate family living in the home, knowing that parents and siblings want to share in the magic, too.
Are all wishes publicized?
No, families can choose whether they will allow publicity of the wish. We always respect their requests in regard to privacy.
What if a child has special medical needs during a wish?
If a child has special medical needs during a wish, they are discussed with the physician and family beforehand and provided for by the Foundation as needed.
Do you have questions regarding wishes?
How do you find the children?
The wish children are referred to us by their parents, physician, social worker, teacher or neighbor. Some kids even refer themselves. Anyone can contact us about how to refer a child to Make-A-Wish. But the family needs to be aware of and agree to the referral.
How old does a child have to be to have a wish granted?
The child must be older than 2 1/2 and younger than 18 at the time they are referred to Make-A-Wish Central and Western North Carolina to have a wish granted.
Are all of the children terminal?
No, Make-A-Wish fulfills wishes for children with life-threatening medical conditions. A great majority of the children we have helped are still alive today.
What illnesses qualify a child for a wish?
Conditions that generally qualify children for our services include, but are not limited to, various forms of cancer, heart disease, Duchenne's muscular dystrophy and organ transplants. Children with more chronic conditions like cerebral palsy, Crohn's disease or spina bifida may qualify if their conditions are coupled with other complications and the combination is considered life-threatening.
Do you have questions about referring a child?
What are the time commitment requirements?
There are many different ways to volunteer with Make-A-Wish and all require different levels of time commitment. The majority of our roles, you can sign up as your schedule allows. When volunteering as a wish granter, there are a minimum number of wishes that we ask you to commit to each year. The timing of each wish experience can vary. Learn more about our volunteer positions.
I'm not 18 years old. Can I still volunteer for Make-A-Wish?
Although all wish volunteers must be 18 years old to work on wishes, there are a number of other opportunities including helping at events, working in the Make-A-Wish office or organizing a fundraiser at school.
Do I have to contribute financially to Make-A-Wish to get involved?
No, you do not have to make a financial contribution to Make-A-Wish. However, for certain volunteer roles, we do require a criminal background check and the fee is the responsibility of the prospective volunteer.
Do wish volunteers travel with the family/child?
No, there are 62 other Make-A-Wish chapters around the country. When we send a wish family to another state, that chapter will help facilitate the wish.
How do individuals help in the wish process?
Our wish granting volunteers are instrumental in helping us get to the heart of a wish for a wish child. They work with a Wish Specialists, Make-A-Wish staff member, and meet with wish families at centralized locations to determine the child's one true wish. They also provide wish enhancements once the wish has been scheduled to build on the excitement of a wish come true!
How do I become involved with Make-A-Wish Central & Western North Carolina?
Please contact our Community Engagement Specialist at (704) 339-0334 or firstname.lastname@example.com for more information on engagement opportunities.
Interested in becoming a volunteer, but have questions?
How do you pay for the wishes?
We rely entirely on private donations from individuals, companies, foundations, schools and corporations. We receive no government funds or grants.
How much of Make-A-Wish Central and Western North Carolina funds are spent on wishes?
81.49% of all funds received go towards fulfilling wishes
How are the rest of Make-A-Wish's funds spent?
14.89% is used on fundraising, 3.62% is used on administration
Does Make-A-Wish conduct telemarketing campaigns?
No, the Foundation has a policy against telemarketing because it is considered intrusive and not cost-effective. However, be careful of sound-alike organizations that conduct aggressive telemarketing campaigns. Many donors are confused and think they are donating to Make-A-Wish. They are not.
Will my donation help local children or will it be sent to your national organization?
Donations raised in our chapter territory stay local to help fund wish granting of children in our area. Donors can request that their donation be restricted to a specific geographic area, if desired.
Do you receive funding from the United Way?
While Make-A-Wish is not a United Way agency, we do participate in its Contributor's Choice program in many of the counties it serves.
Can I donate my airline miles to Make-A-Wish?
Yes. Your donation of airline miles can help us grant hundreds of travel wishes. To donate your miles, please click here.
Can I make an in-kind donation to Make-A-Wish?
Yes. The Foundation relies on in-kind contributions to lessen the cost of goods and services. To make an in-kind donation, please contact our office at (704) 339-0334.
Can my financial contribution be tax deductible?
Yes. Make-A-Wish Central and Western North Carolina is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization. As such, financial contributions may be deductible for federal income tax purposes. Please consult with your financial advisor to determine the extent of tax deductibility.
How can I make a monetary donation to Make-A-Wish Central and Western North Carolina?
You can make an online donation specifically to our chapter, or mail your donation to our headquarters (217 E. Tremont Ave., Charlotte, NC 28203).

In her January 7, 2020 ruling, Chief Bankruptcy Judge Celelia Morris discharged $221,385.49 in student loan debt for Navy veteran and lawyer Kevin Rosenberg under chapter 7 bankruptcy. Not surprisingly, Educational Credit Management Corporation (ECMC) — a nonprofit that guarantees and services student loans on behalf of the Department of Education (ED) — is challenging the decision.
Recently in New York, Chief Bankruptcy Judge Cecelia Morris discharged more than $220,000 in student loans for a borrower. In her ruling she criticized the fact that many lawyers "believe it impossible to discharge student loans." She stated, "This Court will not participate in perpetuating these myths."
That's the message that watchdog Mike Calhoun is shouting around the country. In a recent NPR article Chris Arnold reports how Calhoun is trying to get lawmakers to listen just like he did back when he recognized the recklessness of the subprime mortgage market. Back then he projected over 2 million subprime mortgage foreclosures but was ridiculed by the industry. The cost of ignoring his warning was waves of defaults and foreclosures that propelled the country into the worst recession in generations. Now Calhoun is focused on the Student Loan Crisis.
The National Consumer Law Center recently published a report on state exemption laws titled Still No Fresh Start in 2019: How States Still Let Debt Collectors Push Families into Poverty. After surveying all 50 states, they concluded that none of these jurisdictions have adequate laws in place to protect debtors.
President Donald Trump signed three bills on Friday, August 25, 2019 that are designed to assist veterans, small business and family farmers during and after bankruptcy proceedings. When the bills passed in the U.S. Senate, ABI Executive Director Samuel J. Gerdano summed up the bills as a modernization of the Bankruptcy Code.

There is no reason to wait – you can do the second course now!
Everyone affected by the NorCal Fires has a claim in the bankruptcy case filed by PG&E Corporation on January 29, 2019. PG&E's bankruptcy filing does not end the lawsuits filed on behalf of fire victims, but it does require that claims must be filed with the court by the deadline of October 21, 2019. If you were affected by the NorCal fires, speak to a lawyer now to understand your legal rights.

the bike is hauling a sidecar.i would like to replace the rear tire with something designed for hack use.can any sidecarista's reccomend a good brand.the bike never is used off road.
the bike is hauling a sidecar.i would like to replace the rear tire with something designed for hack use.can any sidecarista's reccomend a good brand.the bike never is used off road.
what size tire?
Over the years there have been special "sidecar" tires with a square profile, in both 18" and 19". The idea is that the square profile will wear better. I currently have a Metzeler "Block K" 4.00 x 18 on my R100 rig. But I'm running a Kenda 19" on the front. It's an oval profile, so it's lower than a 3:25 x 19.
My experience with sidecar tires is that they are old technology, bias ply, and very flexible due to the tall sidewalls. The tire flex doesn't help handling. And the old tire compounds don't necessarily provide better mileage than a contemporary bike tire.
I suggest finding some cheap 4.00 x 18 or preferably 120/80 x 18 tires, and investing in some tire tools.
There is also the evil of running a car tire on the rear.
The hack tire on my rig is interchangeable w/ the front tire of the bike.
A rolling spare if you will...
I'm currently running a block tire on the hack. It won't fit under the fender so that option is gone for a bit.
I have a motorcycle tire currently on the rear of the bike. I'm looking to renew the car tire on the rear prior to the rally.
I have two rear rims. One w/ a bike tire the other w/ a car tire for when the tub is off I switch.
There may be limited clearance for a wider tire. And there are lots of knobbies in 18" sizes. For my "dual sport" R100/Ural, I have alloy rims laced with heavy guage ss spokes, 18" front and rear. I run an 18" "rear" tire backwards on the front. I reserve the serious knobbies for excursions on technical roads, although knobs wear much better on pavement than I would have predicted.
I also prefer a round or preferably oval section tire on the front. A flat profile tire, especially a car tire, causes steering problems. When the side of the flat tread contacts the side of a groove or pavement "rut" it suddenly steers the wheel in that direction. IMHO the maximum width of a front tire, even with trail reduction, is 135.
See you at the rally in Redmond.
I use an 18" block K on the front for a good long run and I find they handle just fine for my machine and style - and most any cheap 18" standard tread design on the rear - (six ply if I can find one). Reason: The rear tire gets ground off fairly rapidly due to extra weight, side loading forces and power. I have a $45.00 Cheng Shin MN120/90 on the back now. Looks like an old Continental tread design. I've had good luck with them going 4 or 5K. I have a set of Metzler Sahara EnduroÔÇÖs mounted on spare wheels for mud and snow. The chair tire is round section and happens to be a Bridgestone Spitfire.
Reading the above makes me think that the rear gets trashed so easily because "any cheap 18" standard tread design on the rear" would be a prime suspect.
Can you find a car tire for the rear?

I have two rear wheel rims. One w/ car tire and one w/ M/C tire.
Car tire makes a heckuva difference in the snow and fire roads w/ loose gravel.
It's my opinion that a m/c tire is a waste on a sidecar rig's rear since they are so sticky/soft for obvious reasons. Not to mention less contact patch.
I will not ride my car tire on a motorcycle sans hack.
Side walls aren't designed for those kind of stresses.
Neat rig... Thanks for sharing.
This is not my hack either...

Is that the original colour on the 1200C? I really like it.

Red blood cells transfusions in very low birth weight neonates
Introduction: Very low birth weight preterm infants are associated with a greater risk of morbidity and mortality and are more susceptible to therapy with red blood cells transfusions. The aim of this study is to analyse the frequency and factors associated with red blood cells transfusions in very low birth weight infants.
Material and methods: This retrospective study included neonates with very low birth weight admitted between November 1, 2011 and October 31, 2015. Demographic, perinatal and clinical data during hospitalization were obtained through medical records. Statistical tests were used to compare neonates with and without need for red blood cells transfusion and multivariate regression analysis to find predictor factors.
Results: Seventy-nine patients were studied, median birth weight of 1,190 grams and mean gestational age of 29 ± 2 weeks. Forty-nine (62%) received transfusion support with red blood cells. Higher need for red blood cells transfusions was significantly associated with low birth weight (OR = 0.99, 95% CI 0.990-0.999) and total millilitres of phlebotomy losses (OR = 1.17, 95% CI 1.07-1.28). Birth weight (B = -0.01, 95% CI -0.008 to -0.003), hemoglobin at admission (B = -0.33, 95% CI -0.53 to -0.13) and sepsis (B = 1.85, 95% CI 0.72-2.98) were predictive factors for the number of red blood cells transfusions. Regarding the treatment with erythropoietin, there were no differences for all outcomes.
Conclusions: Phlebotomy losses are one of the major factors for the need of transfusion in preterm infants, and therefore sampling should be minimized to the maximum.

Just read a great blog post by UCSD Cog Sci professor Ben Bergen for Psychology Today. There's been a lot of hype lately about apps that allow you to read text more quickly than you normally do, and this post discusses why you should not buy into the hype. The way the apps work is by rapidly presenting readers with one word at a time, forcing you to read faster than your natural rate. However, as with many things, quantity does not replace quality. Bergen points out that even world champion speed readers only comprehend about half of what they read. He's not alone in voicing concerns for our comprehension using these apps either.
The reasons that Rapid Serial Visual Presentation (RSVP) is not a good technique mainly relate to the fact that reading is an active process. We don't sit idly consuming words at an even rate, but instead move faster over words that adhere to our predictions, slow down when we encounter new or surprising words, and often backtrack to re-read words, though much of this is probably not even conscious. RSVP doesn't allow a reader to do any of these crucial things, and therefore hinders comprehension.
I was also really glad to see that Bergen points out that RSVP assumes that a reader's goal is first and foremost to consume as many words as possible and just get the gist of them. That is not why I read at all, and I suspect it's not why most people read most of what they do. I read because I enjoy it, because it encourages me to think, and in order to truly learn. After trying a quick demo of RSVP, I can't imagine that anyone engages in it because it's a pleasurable activity. I couldn't help but hear the words in a sort of robotic voice as the screen flashed one at a time, and although it was amusing for a moment, it must keep readers from truly perceiving the author's unique tone. In so few cases is reading pleasurable because the gist of the piece is interesting. Gist is certainly one piece of what makes reading great, but the details of the words, the ability to interact with the text, and certainly the ability to remember what we read should not be overlooked.

Possibly the oldest ride in town is the 'Saturday Rose Garden' or 'Hailstoner' Ride. The names are coined by the meeting location and one fateful ride in a hail storm that continues to define the group. The ride meets at 7:30, 8 or 8:30 in the morning, depending on the time of year and always ends, without fail, at the local Merchants Delicatessen. While the ride can be unpredictable-- the pace usually dictated by who shows up that day-- you can usually count on several grouping-up points to bring everyone back together. I usually opt for a late morning or mid-day ride when Walla Walla is cold, but when the temperatures aren't offensive at 8:00am, I try to show up. The company is good, and so are the muffins.
A few moments from the ride:

Barely two years ago, I had met The Secret through the Oprah Winfrey Show. As soon as I opened my eyes in the late morning, I turned on the TV set and it was tuned in to Oprah's program. She was guesting the people behind The Secret! This intrigued me (and maybe attracted me too) so I then secured a book for my keep. I even have the DVD version!
What is The Secret?
The Secret is simply the secret of the great men and women of all ages. It emphasizes an Eastern Philosophy which adheres to the principle that like attracts likes, thoughts attract similar thoughts, and condition attracts similar conditions. Though many are aware of this principle but only a few practice it. So then it remained a secret in history until The Secret revealed it and proved it. A reason why literally, we can only count through our fingers the number of prosperous and greatly successful people of all times!
It is evident in Psychology that you're ought to be optimistic rather than pessimistic. Positive thoughts attract events, things, and circumstances of the same frequency level. Negative conditioning, to be specific, always leads to unpleasant results. Napoleon Hill, one of the famous inspirational writers scribed: What the mind can conceive and believe, can be achieved. Keep that in mind.
Simply, if you appreciate all the goodness in life, the more that good things will happen to you. You may not know when or how, but they will just pop up out of nowhere. The Whole Universe will conspire with you and provide you what you have thought of! If you fill your mind with regrets, fears, failures, and all negative thoughts, then you will magnet same occurrences! You will even attract people of the same sentiments!
Every thought is a cause, and every circumstance is just an effect.
Photography has been my passion. Lately, I was inclined into fashion photography. Out of nowhere, here comes a former friend. She presented a proposal:

We are a modeling agency, supplying the advertising, fashion, magazines, and, media industry with models for family, style, products, and services.

Your thought is just like a magnet. Driven by a strong desire, it can bring you the best things in life.

The Chiefs churned the bottom of the roster Tuesday, and gave another chance to one of the draft busts of recent memory.
They announced they signed six free agents, including cornerback Stanley Jean-Baptiste.
The Saints drafted the former Nebraska cornerback in the second round of the 2014 NFL Draft (58th overall). But he played just 19 snaps his rookie season and was cut the following year, a startling admission of a wasted pick.
He's turned up on practice squads in Detroit and Seattle since then.
The Chiefs also signed defensive linemen Ricky Ali'ifua, tight end Emanuel Byrd, punter Will Monday, running back Devine Redding, and wide receiver Jamari Staples.
To make room on the roster, they waived cornerback Vernon Harris, wide receiver Anas Hasic, tight end Wyatt Houston, defensive lineman Cory Johnson, fullback Will Ratelle, and running backs Darrin Reaves and Kelvin Taylor.

Ayden Jane was on the Amoxicillin for 6 days. There was improvement. Behavior was better, but not quite herself. Less hungry, less anxious, less snoring, better energy... but still just not quite herself. As for the cough? Green goo? Barely put a dent in them.
I took her back to the pediatrician today because I just didn't see 4 more days of amox. winning the battle. Sort of like it is strong enough to make things tolerable and keep the infection under control, but not strong enough to actually kill it. We have put her on Augmentin and if this works, we will likely never use the first course of antibiotics again. I was hoping I caught this one early enough... but I guess it just doesn't work that way.
I started the Augmentin last night, so here's hoping by tomorrow morning the thick green goo is thinned out or gone! Hoping my happy go lucky kid, full of energy and silliness returns to her crazy self.

Well, as more details about Newt Gingrich's tax plan dribble out, this blog is starting to reconsider whether its endorsement of him in the Republican primary race might have been a little too hasty. Oh sure, we still think Mitt Romney is a soulless opportunist who will tell you anything you want to hear in order to "earn" your vote and will be forced by the Tea Party to rule as President with a far-right iron fist, but at least Mitt's tax plan isn't "out of this world," "I can't believe this plan comes from a serious Presidential candidate from a major political party" insane.
My favorite detail from the below charts? Under Newt's tax plan, Mitt - who is probably worth more than $200 million and made as much as $40 million dollars last year - would owe exactly $0 in taxes, since Newt's plan would eliminate all taxes on capital gains, dividends, and interest. So, Mitt's tax rate would fall from the [less than] 15% he pays now (compared to the 20%+ that the middle class pays now) to 0%.
If Newt's going to offer Mitt that kind of deal, maybe he can get Mitt to drop out of the race and endorse him for President - after all, the President only earns about $400k/year, and Mitt's tax cut under Newt's plan would be worth waaaaaaaaaay more than that.
As an added bonus, everyone who is not part of the top 1% would have to calculate their taxes twice, in order to see which system is better for them, each year. Delightful.
Again - this plan is so crazy, irresponsible, and dangerous, I can't believe it's coming from a serious Presidential candidate from a major political party - especially from someone who touts his credentials as the "ideas" candidate. But, then again, I guess he never claimed that they would be good ideas.
Check out the infographic from American Progress for all of the crazy:

January 2016
The Abu Dhabi Urban Planning Council (UPC) has announced the launch of its first mixed-use development featuring a number of villas and community facilities in the Mirfa region of the UAE capital.
Al Wajeha Al Bahria is the first housing and retail project in the Mirfa beach area of Al Gharbia (Abu Dhabi's Western Region).
Located on a site between Mirfa Beach and Mirfa City, the scheme is within Mirfa, one of the seven key settlements that feature in Plan Al Gharbia 2030. The first project within the Mirfa masterplan, it includes mixed-use blocks and a number of villas and community facilities.
The UPC had been working closely with the developer to identify how value could be added to the planning submission for the benefit of the community, before granting approval. As a result, the project will now feature a beachfront promenade for pedestrians and cyclists that connects Al Wajeha Al Bahria with other planned projects on the Mirfa coastline, it added.
"Al Wajeha Al Bahria is a good example of how the UPC successfully collaborates with developers to ensure the needs of the community are met," remarked Mohamed Al Khadar, executive director, Urban Development and Estidama Sector, UPC.
According to him, the Abu Dhabi UPC worked with the Western Region Municipality to implement a road network in and around the Mirfa coastline area to serve Al Wajeha Al Bahria, which has paved the way for future development to take place.
The announcement comes soon after the UPC disclosed details of the planned Mirfa Beach development – also within the overall Mirfa masterplan – which will feature over 400 villas for UAE nationals on a site adjacent to Al Wajeha Al Bahria.
The design of the Mirfa Beach villas, along with the detailed design for all other community facilities within the development, is in progress and construction is due to begin in the first half of 2017.

Meet Our Doctor
What Our Patients Say
I have been a patient of Dr. Rob for many years. With anything exceptional in the medical field, it is all about a Doctor's knowledge, treatment, experience and outcome. The staff at Orangetown Podiatry is very warm, polite and accommodating. Scheduling appointments is quite efficient, especially when I have had urgent needs. I continue to be active with all types of fitness, strength training, skiing, golfing and beyond. Dr. Rob has treated me on multiple occasions for different types of foot pain and injuries. Dr. Rob's expertise expands outside of just the feet and ankles. He understands and is quite knowledgeable about the human body overall. Dr.Rob has also successfully helped me with knee pain, leg strength (exercise recommendations) and referrals for a hand injury! I know I have his complete attention during a consultation and he is always available to answer questions! If you live in this area , you need to see him! He is the best in this area and beyond!
Steven S.
Rob is one of the most knowledgeable foot doctors in the country when it comes to running better and healthier. He is also an amazing listener, always learning and truly cares for people.
Jonathan B.
So fortunate to have found Dr. Conenello - he is truly the most dedicated professional. I had been to a series of podiatrists and things were getting worse (like very bad!!) when a friend referred me to Orangetown Podiatry. Dr. Conenello listened, was so caring and assured me that I didn't have to live with constant pain. He had many alternative treatments for my sesmoid issues and worked hard to help me find relief. I'm forever thankful to him. Staff was also top notch.
Ann T.
As a former clinical student for Dr. Conenello, I can say he is the best in his practice. The amount of passion and care he puts into every one of his patients, new or not, no matter how young or old, no other podiatrist that I have come across puts their heart into their work like he does. Dr. Conenello doesn't just treat his patient's condition, he treats his patient as a whole. His charisma and great character is what makes him stand out above the rest. He has the biggest heart and always goes above and beyond to make sure every single person that walks in and out of his care is completely satisfied and taken care of to the best of his ability. If you want a great doctor, he is the one. You won't regret it, I promise. Also, great sense of humor too-that's always a plus!
Nallivy O.
Dr. Conenello has been serving Special Olympics New Jersey athletes for many years. His commitment to our athletes is unwavering. He takes the time to talk with each athlete and their families, and gets to know them on a personal level, not just a clinical one. He goes above and beyond with getting support for SONJ and its athletes. We are lucky to have him as part of our community!
Katelyn S.
My daughter competes in Track and Field events nationally. She had pain in her foot that was affecting her training. I contacted him in the middle of the night to see if he could see my daughter. Dr. Conenello opened his office early just to see my daughter and diagnosed the problem immediately. His understanding and care made it possible for her to continue training without losing any time. It is rare for a doctor to care so much about his patients as Dr. Conenello does. He has our highest recommendation.
Douglas S.
Dr Conenello is the absolute best I highly recommend him the whole staff in his office is great I'd give 10 stars if the rating system would let me.
Brian R.
Dr C is the best both in the office and in the operating room. He is knowledgeable, pleasant, articulate, caring and compassionate. In addition. he is a motivator and role model to many.
AnnMarie D.
Dr. Rob is the best! Four (4) years ago he helped me with Plantar Fasciitis. I have not had a flare up since. This weekend has sever pain and stiffness in my big toe. He took me in on short notice and get me back up by the next morning! Most importantly, he is not only a great Dr., but a great person!
Jeff J.
Running has been a part of my life since I was 4 years old and now I run collegiately at Penn where I am a senior. Going into my junior year XC season I started feeling pain in my heel which quickly manifested into severe plantar fasciitis. I tried every method possible with no success. I had to take completely off of running from May 2018-October 2018, which caused me to miss my senior cross season. My high school coach recommended I go see Dr. Rob and I was skeptical at first since nothing I was doing seemed to be doing the trick. I am so incredibly grateful for Dr. Rob. In a time where I was feeling down in the dumps and unsure about my running future, he inspired me by keeping a positive mindset and giving me hope, which he says stands for: hundreds of possibilities exist. I did multiple rounds of shockwave throughout 6-8 weeks and finally am able to run majority pain-free after 18 long months. In fact, I am racing for the first time since last April this Saturday. Dr. Rob is intelligent, talented, friendly, and so generous. He worked around my college schedule to make sure I could get in and heal my heel. I wouldn't be running right now if it wasn't for him or shockwave therapy, which is painful but worth it!!
Carole H.
Dr. Rob was the first podiatrist I've ever visited and the only podiatrist ill ever go to. Not only did he make my first visit so comforting and warm, he took his time with me and made sure I didn't leave his office with any questions. His patience is like no other. I can easily say he's an amazing doctor that really loves what he does because it shows in the way he cares about his patients. He truly is the best in his practice.
Riley P.
I have always had great experiences with Orangetown Podiatry. Dr. Conenello is very knowledgeable and has always been able to diagnose my injuries quickly and get me the proper treatment I've needed. I definitely recommend Orangetown Podiatry.
Barry H.
Dr. Rob was the first podiatrist I've ever visited and the only podiatrist ill ever go to. Not only did he make my first visit so comforting and warm, he took his time with me and made sure I didn't leave his office with any questions. His patience is like no other. I can easily say he's an amazing doctor that really loves what he does because it shows in the way he cares about his patients. He truly is the best in his practice.
Rosie P.
I was at my wits end, constant daily pain, suffering from Plantar Fasciitis which interfered with my everyday life. For 4 year I went from doctor to doctor, tried many injections, every treatment, and every contraption with no success. Finally, Dr. Rob Conenello came highly recommended. I was skeptical because every other doctor I have seen came highly recommended as well. Being desperate, I made an appointment with Dr. Conenello. Upon arrival, I was greeted by the most friendly, welcoming staff. His office was clean and inviting. Meeting with Dr. Conenello was like talking to an old friend. He took the time to educate me on my condition and explained how he would help me. I appreciated the fact that he was so attentive and truly cared. I was never rushed, as has been the case with other doctors. His warm friendly demeanor helped calm my nerves. After treatment I am beyond thrilled to say, SUCCESS!!!! I am living my life pain free, which to me is nothing short of a miracle. If you are looking for a highly skilled, competent, caring doctor, I strongly recommend Dr. Rob Conenello. There aren't enough words to describe how pleased I am! Thank you, Dr. Conenello for being there for me every "step" of the way! You are the best!

Does he really deserve this compensation? Fired Rutgers coach Mike Rice is due to receive a $100,000 bonus from the university for the 2012–13 basketball season, a payout he would not be collecting had he been sacked when the administration saw footage of him abusing his players in November. Rice was fired Wednesday after ESPN aired the now viral video of him hurling basketballs and homophobic epithets at his players. But he earned $622,500 in 2012 and, as part of his contract, will receive a bonus for finishing out the season. Since Rice's firing, at least 13 Rutgers faculty members, lawmakers, and activists have called for further investigation of the school's handling of his case.

I have done a good amount of acrylic. My problem is that it does not stand out as well as wood. When I cut a wood and acrylic piece, people tend to like the wood better. Yours is a very nice design and well done!

The Sony film was scheduled to screen at Landmark's Sunshine Cinema. On principle, Sony was not going to cancel the premiere, but Landmark made the call according to a source. The news comes after stars Seth Rogen and James Franco canceled promotional appearances slated for Tuesday and Wednesday. The premiere cancelation is the latest development following a Nov. 24 cyberattack on Sony. On Tuesday, hackers released additional data, invoking the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks in an email to reporters. "Soon all the world will see what an awful movie Sony Pictures Entertainment has made," the message from the hackers read in part. "The world will be full of fear. Remember the 11th of September 2001. We recommend you to keep yourself distant from the places at that time. (If your house is nearby, you'd better leave.)" Sony discussed the situation with theater owners Tuesday, telling those that had booked The Interview that though it would move forward with the film's release, exhibitors were free to decide not to show the film if they chose. On Tuesday evening, Carmike Cinemas decided to cancel its screenings of the film. Also on Tuesday, The Department of Homeland Security said it found no evidence that there was an active plot targeting movie theaters in the United States. The Interview, which centers on a plot to kill North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, had a premiere in Los Angeles last week. Tatiana Siegel contributed to this report.

The content of this report will be updated with the latest scenarios based on the global COVID-19 Pandemic
"The demand for increased efficiency in commercial and defense operations is the key factor influencing the growth of the Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) market."
The UGVs market is estimated to be USD 2.7 billion in 2018 and is projected to reach USD 7.0 billion by 2025, at a CAGR of 14.81% during the forecast period. The increasing demand for enhanced efficiency, human safety, and the growth of terrorist activities are expected to drive the market. However, limited reliability of UGVs during missions and the inability to predict the external environment are projected to hinder the growth of this market.
Download Free Sample Pages of this report
"The military segment is expected to lead the UGVs market during the forecast period."
Based on application, the military segment expected to lead the UGVs market during the forecast period. The demand for unmanned ground vehicles in the military segment is increasing due to the growing number of applications of UGVs in the defense sector for activities such as EOD, ISR, combat support, and transportation, among others.
"The legged segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period."
Based on mobility, the legged segment is expected to lead the UGVs market during the forecast period. Legged land robots are more versatile and can be successfully used at rough and unpredictable terrains for defense and commercial applications. Legged land robots are capable of legged locomotion, and can access traverse irregular and uneven tracks by establishing a foot contact with the ground at selected points according to terrain conditions and without great difficulty resulting in increasing demand for legged robots.
"The UGVs market in Asia Pacific expected to account for the largest share and grow at the highest rate during the forecast period."
The Asia Pacific region estimated to lead the UGVs market in 2018 and is projected to grow at the highest rate during the forecast period. The growth of the market can be attributed to the increasing terrorist activities and increasing spending by emerging economies on defense operations in this region. Countries in this region, such as India and China, have increased their defense budgets and are procuring advanced equipment for their military operations, which is expected to drive the UGVs market in this region.
