What Your Face Says About Your Health
According to traditional Eastern medicine, our face perfectly reflects our health and lifestyle. We at LikeAble thought it would be useful for all of us to find out if there is something our face is trying to say, or maybe there are habits that we should change. Anyways, it's good to know what's happening inside of you and what signals your body is trying to send.
1. Thin and gaunt face
You probably went too far with your exercising or diet. When you exercise too much you prevent your facial skin from getting the necessary amount of oxygen, and your cheekbone area is affected the most.
Come up with your own workout plan, and stick to a healthy diet so that your face looks young and fresh.
2. Swollen face
If you see that your face is swollen, it means you may need to work out a little more or decrease your stress level and alcohol consumption. These three factors negatively affect the process of collagen production, making facial skin become flaccid.
To make your face look smoother and younger, perform some physical activity on a regular basis and decrease your intake of alcoholic beverages.
3. Wrinkles
If you're someone who likes spending lots of time in the sun, you should know that ultraviolet exposure is one of the main causes of early wrinkling. As the skin around your eyes is much thinner and more delicate, it can be easily damaged by the sun.
Protect your face by applying sunscreen even if the day is cloudy.
4. Dry skin
Your poor diet is probably the main reason why your face is dry and sensitive. Poor nutrition results in the deficiency of those important vitamins and minerals responsible for skin elasticity. Keep in mind that anti-aging creams are totally useless if you don't take care of your skin from the inside.
Make sure you consume fruits and vegetables in a variety of colors, and soon you'll notice visible results on your skin.
5. Skin redness
Drinking too much coffee can cause irritated and red skin. Caffeine dehydrates the cells, causing inflammation and dryness. Also, if you work at night and sleep during the day, you may lack vitamin D because you don't expose your skin to the sun regularly.
Cut down on your caffeine consumption, or replace coffee with another tasty drink. To get enough vitamin D, try to sunbathe every day — but don't forget to use sunscreen.
6. Yellow skin
If you see that your skin tone has become yellow, you may have liver problems or anemia. It's important that you consult a specialist as soon as possible if you notice such changes on your skin.
7. Pale skin
If your face becomes paler than usual, it can be a sign of iron deficiency. Try to increase your consumption of iron-rich foods, such as meat and legumes. Don't forget about vitamin C, as it facilitates iron absorption in your body.
8. Dark circles under your eyes
If you suffer from insomnia and have an unhealthy diet, you'll find it harder to fight those dark circles under your eyes. Tobacco and alcohol consumption also make a negative contribution to puffy eyes.
You should get enough sleep (approximately 8 hours), and get rid of your bad habits. Exercise and a well-balanced diet will do wonders for tired skin.
9. Acne
If your diet is rich in fats and sugars, it may be the reason for your acne problem. Sometimes hormonal changes are to blame.
But no matter what the cause is, always keep your face clean and detoxify your skin from the inside by eating healthy food.
10. Laughter lines and wrinkles around your mouth
If you have deep wrinkles around your mouth, you obviously love smiling a lot. But while smiling is good for you, you should also know that those wrinkles signal a vitamin B deficiency. And cracked lips are usually caused by a lack of vitamin C.
A healthy diet rich in green vegetables, oranges, and bell peppers can positively change the situation around your lips.

text: The EUR/USD pair rose slightly during the course of the session on Tuesday, as the 1.13 level has offered support. Ultimately, this market should then head to the 1.15 level given enough time. However, we need to break above the top of the candle for the session on Tuesday to start putting money to work. With no interest in selling, because we see far too much in the way of support just below. With this, we are actually going to be more comfortable on the sidelines until we get a clearer impulsive move.

In this interview, the Coordinator of the Northern Emancipation Network, Mal. Abdul-Azeez Sulaiman, says that the ordinary people in the North can no longer follow the political elite blindly. He also warns that the North could suffer after Nigeria presidential Election (NPE) in 2015 if it continues to antagonize President Goodluck Jonathan as it is not in a position to win the presidency in the next general elections.
How do you assess the political atmosphere in the country right now?
I think the atmosphere is dicey but interesting, because, about two years to the elections, the battle has already started. It makes the atmosphere very exciting at least to those who are political- minded.
We have seen the excitement that came with the registration of the APC, how a merger was achieved for the first time in Nigeria's political history. I do not think there has ever been a complete merger, although we have had some alliances.
People were surprised when the PDM was registered. It should not have been a surprise; it was an expected move from former Vice President Alhaji Atiku Abubakar. What happened at the PDP convention, we all know, is a build up to 2015; so I can say the atmosphere is exciting.
Would you not consider the battle for 2015 as a distraction to government both at the federal and state levels? It is like we are going to waste two years politicking, rather than allowing those in government to concentrate on developmental issues.
The issue of government, to my understanding and the experience I have, is that only those who are in government are concerned with government. People outside are only concerned with how to remove that government and replace it; so as far as this gang of emerging opposition is concerned, it is not a distraction. It is left for government to focus on what is before it. For the opposition, the government should not even work. So it cannot be said to be a distraction, opposition is allowed everywhere.
Some people have raised issues about the quality of the membership of APC which we all know is a merger of the ACN, ANPP and CPC. Some people say what happened in 2011 where the alliance between CPC and ACN did not produce the desired result of fielding a successful candidate, especially at the federal level, will repeat itself. Do you see the APC as an alternative platform to the PDP?
When we talk of the APC, I would rather separate two issues, whether the merger is even going to work is one thing, producing a government that is better than the PDP is another .
About the merger, we all know how it started as an alliance in 2011 but failed practically and theoretically. And the move continued to produce the merger that is now the APC. If you look at the partners, you will discover that the marriage may not last.
When we look at the composition of the ANPP, the same people that could not contain former Head of State, General Muhammadu Buhari, in 2007 and 2011, he (Buhari) had to leave to form the CPC. So, at what point are they telling us that they have reconciled their differences. And Buhari's differences with the ANPP were fundamental.
Now, if you look at the A CN, we all know that it has an articulate political agenda, and the Yoruba may be more politically conscious to a point where the Yoruba voter may be redirected to vote the APC. But in the North, the problem is that they might not have the consciousness to adopt the APC as a common platform.
Why do you say so?
That is what is happening now. You can see that with the coming of the APC, the Yoruba people said they do not need the presidency. When the APC held a meeting in the South-west, the Yoruba clearly said they do not need the presidency.
So, the general feeling is that Buhari may pick the APC presidential ticket and we all know that Atiku would never jettison his personal ambition for anybody; he will definitely contest that election (2015).
So, you can see already the North is divided. And, before the end of the year, we are going to have another platform where some of the breakaway governors could contest because they are not actually going ahead with Atiku. All the northern governors that walked out of the PDP National Convention with Atiku are not his bed fellows.
If you look at their antecedents, all of them are Obasanjo boys. They have never had anything in common with Atiku. But Atiku will eventually leave the PDP because of his personal ambition. He knows that it is going to be almost impossible for him to pick the PDP ticket and he must contest. And he cannot join the APC; so he got his associates to register the PDM which has, all along, been the political organisation which he inherited from General Yar'Adua.
Now, instead of him to just move out, to his PDM, he has to cause commotion. The mainstream PDP would be looking at the crack in the party but that is not the end of it. Whatever the reconciliation effort may be, Atiku is not going back. He will eventually end up in PDM, where he will contest the presidential election.
Could give us an insight into the game plan of the politicians in the North who are against the present government that led to all of these?
What we have today is a conscious North and the northern political elite. Before now, wherever the elite went, the crowd followed them. But, now, it is no longer the same. People have started thinking that they should not allow the elite take them wherever they go.
By the virtue of my position as a journalist and Coordinator of the Northern Emancipation Network, I have had the opportunity of meeting some of these northern elite to discuss.
Most of us in the Northern Emancipation Network and our affiliates do not see the necessity of the North insisting on the presidency in 2015 or any time in the near future. Our reason is that if holding central power is the key to the success of a people, then the North ought to have been the most successful region in Nigeria. If that yardstick is true, the Igbo ought to have been the most backward because they have not in practical terms had power at the centre.
The North held power for the most part of Nigeria's existence as an independent nation yet we are the most backward.
The Igbo that have not held power is by far the most advanced technogically and economically.
Why? It is either power at the centre is not enough to develop a people or the northern political elite misused it
Some of them who told the nation that our public infrastructure cannot work even if the entire public funds were invested in them are the same people now telling us that they can make the facilities work under privatization. These is the type of people we had as leaders from the North and they are the same people who are transforming either through their children or their wives or brothers.
Some northerners of your class sound very bitter about Nigeria than people of Igbo extraction because, just as you said, the region held power for a long time and the power was meant for the holders alone.
The motive is personal. It has nothing to do with the larger North. The northern political elite believe the region is their personal asset. They started this rotation thing when they made Obasanjo president. Because it has not been the entire North handling the region's political situation, it reclaimed power in 2007 under Yar'Adua.
The North had the opportunity to place itself appropriately to reclaim power after President Jonathan if it had played the right card but it played the wrong card when Yar'Adua was sick. None of these elders came out to do the right thing by asking Jonathan, who was then Yar'Adua's deputy, to take over. Instead, they fought this man until God took power and handed it to him.
The elite did that claiming they were doing it for the North. Some of us were talking then but our voice was not loud.
The impression you are creating is that the crisis we are witnessing especially in the North was precipitated by the elite.
What crisis? We have political and security challenges.
By your reckoning, has it anything to do with the struggle for power come 2015?
It may not have been directly incited by the northern elite but it must have been caused by their actions or inaction. For instance, in Yobe and Borno states where the insurgency started, you have situations where by some people were governors and, after their tenure, they moved on to the Senate and their wives into the House of Reps or were given other government appointments as if they were the only families in their states.
Go round the North and see the type of schools our children attend. Today we have a generation that is no longer prepared to be slaves to the northern elite.
Six years ago, if someone tells you that a northerner will pick up a gun go to a mosque or church to kill people, you may not believe. But now it is happening; the elite created it either knowingly or unknowingly.
The Emir of Kano wept in the public three times because of the activities of these boys. The Emir of Zauzzau is protected by military men in his palace.
What is your group all about?
The agenda is to enlighten the northern population that it is time to tell the elite that what they have taken is enough. We are no longer prepared to be slaves. They have enslaved our grandparents, parents and we are not going to allow them to enslave us and their children enslave our children. As it has been for generations, they are now, seeing a different northern picture.
It is no longer business as usual where you just come out and say we are northerners.
Are you saying that those who claim to be the northern leaders are not representing you?
Categorically we have said it. Maybe they are older than we are; so they call themselves elders. They could be older but they are not statesmen. It is the same people that have brought division in the north.
We have spoken to people who told us about how the late Sir Ahmadu Bello ran the region. He did not bring about division. Every northerner, no matter tribe or religion, was a northerner. He introduced the northernersation policy.
How has the Jonathan presidency benefited the North?
There is no region that has been favoured as far as federal appointments are concerned than the North. For instance, the Vice President, Senate President, Speaker, INEC chairman, NSA, Inspector General of Police, Comptroller of Customs, many ministers are northerners. Even President Jonathan's region of Niger Delta does not have that.
Our agenda is that we should not allow these people to endanger the northern political future for their personal reasons because it will be disastrous if we allow the North to play the enemy in 2015 and loses as it happened in 2011.
Now, the calculation is that we cannot get it in 2015. The northern Muslims votes will be split between Atiku and Buhari and we are likely to have Lamido, while the northern Christians vote will go to Jonathan who also enjoys bulk vote from other regions.
It is clear that if the North goes for the presidency in 2015, it will not get it, so why not be friends with the person who is likely to win so that the North is not endangered. If we play this bad card again and lose in 2015, in 2019, the region will not have a voice again in this country just like northern Cameroon which used to hold power.

An important part of the American strategy in Afghanistan is to train the Afghan army. The Spoof had an opportunity to interview one of the trainees, using a translator.
Ken: So, Batoor, how is the training going?
Batoor: Not too bad. The coffee's good and they pay well. Three meals a day, can't complain.
Ken: How about the training itself?
Batoor: Well, those guys in the space suits need to lighten up a little. Haven't they ever heard of breaks? These guys are slave drivers. I hate it when they call me 'soldier'. The first two times I went through training it wasn't nearly as bad.
Ken: The first two times? You have been trained more than once?
Batoor: Don't spread it around, but, yes, I have been trained several times. I desert the army and come back for more training, under a different name. 'Batoor'means 'brave'. Nice sound to it, don't you think?
Ken: Why do you do that?
Batoor: Well, the pay is good and that way I don't get shot at. My family needs the money.
Ken: Don't the Americans ever figure out what you are doing?
Batoor: Fortunately, all us Afghans look the same to them, so they never catch on.
Ken: I was told that you hate the Taliban. Is that true?
Batoor: Absolutely! I also hate foreigners. But you have to make a choice, and the Taliban doesn't pay very well.
Ken: What about the Karzai government, what do think of the government?
Batoor: You mean Karzai the crook? That guy lords it over everybody with all the money he gets from the United States. He's nothing a puppet. What a slimeball. Elections were rigged, everybody knows that.
Ken: If you hate him so much, why would you want to serve in his army?
Batoor: I don't, but since the war started I have no other job. Around here, you hold your nose and take what you can get.
Ken: Thanks, Batoor. I feel much better about our war effort now. good luck.

Mum Shares Challenges And Struggles Of Raising An Autistic Child in Singapore
Mum shares the reality of parenting an autistic child in Singapore, "It was a lonely journey for him. He has no friends."
2 year-old Ryan was a jovial boy. He was in fact, conquering his developmental milestones ahead of his older brother.
Mummy Soek Ying recalls, "He was able to call daddy, mummy and kor kor."
"Then, slowly, he became quiet, often with a distant look in his eyes. He just stopped talking. He started having prolonged bouts of crying fits. It could last for hours."
"He had an obsession with long objects like a marker pen. He would hold onto them for hours. If you tried taking it away from him, that would trigger a crying fit. He would be affected by loud noise like the sound of a plane, vacuum cleaner, drilling. He would flap his hands."
Ryan's parents soon realised that these were all typical symptoms of Autism Spectrum Disorder(ASD). Today, Ryan is 22. Mummy Soek Ying shares with theAsianparent her journey as parent to an autistic child in Singapore.
Parenting an autistic child in Singapore
The initial days were both tough and confusing for Soek Ying and hubby Barry Koh. Both Soek Ying and Barry are Co-founders of social enterprise Mustard Tree.com.sg Pte Ltd. Barry is also part-time lecturer at Ngee Ann Polytechnic.
"As we were still not familiar with autism, we thought Ryan was being a brat by acting up the way he did. It was his play school teacher who brought it to our attention."
"She suspected that he could be on the spectrum and she was kind enough to gather some materials for us to read. She also advised us to go to a specialist to get him assessed. This was the turning point in our lives."
"It was the start of endless consultations with doctors and therapists."
How did specialists come to the conclusion that it was autism? Was any treatment / therapy done?
"During those days, there were limited subject matter experts. We went to one of the few doctors who were familiar with the condition. We also went to NUS Child Behavioural Centre."
"Several tests were done to rule out other medical conditions, for example: hearing test, blood test etc. Finally, it was concluded that he was on the spectrum."
"We started PECS (Picture Exchange Communication System) for him at NUS. We also saw a speech therapist and occupational therapist. Ryan was put on a Gluten-free casein-free diet (GFCF) diet. We also consulted a Psychologist."
Limited knowledge of autism back then
Soek Ying tells us that that back then, there were limited resources on autism in Singapore.
"The awareness and literature were limited. The rule of thumb then was - "If your child does not speak by age 7, the window of learning closes. You will lose your child.""
"It was like a death sentence. We dreaded every birthday he had. It was like counting down the days."
Thankfully, what helped them then was a sound support system, "We were very blessed to have a good family support system from both our parents."
"Everyone was very accepting of Ryan. They were all very anxious for us. My dad would help to ferry Ryan for some of his therapies. At other times, he would go with our helper."
"As both of us worked full time, we also set up a system at home whereby my helper would do PECS & ABA (Applied behavior analysis) with Ryan, reinforce exercises done at the OT and speech therapist."
"We had an ABA therapist who would come over once a week to work with him. In a way, Ryan was fortunate to have very intense therapies during his formative years."
Growing up as an autistic child in Singapore
What about Ryan's education? What were some of the challenges that he had to deal while growing up?
Soek Ying reveals, "Ryan didnt really speak till age 4/5. Even then, it was mono-syllabic and very limited - Yes, No."
"For over 2 years, there was this wall of silence. We tried so hard to break through but couldn't. We were often met with screams and shouts or just blank stares."
"I remember he suddenly called me "Mummy" at around 4+! I cant really describe the wave of emotions that came over me! That day, I cried buckets of tears..."
"Due to his behavioural and speech delay, school was very challenging. As the class sizes are usually pretty large, it was difficult for him to follow and cope."
"We initially placed him in a private special education kindergarten. However, the school fees were very high and he was undergoing very rigorous weekly therapies (they cost at least $100-$120 per session of private therapy). It was very hard on our finances."
"We chose to go private because appointments at the government agencies were difficult to get.There were typically very long waiting lists. However, we were were anxious to get intervention for him as early as possible."
"After about a year, we decided to transfer him to a normal kindergarten (Cannosian Convent Kindergarten). We felt that we should spend the money on getting him as much therapy as possible."
"It was a lonely journey for him. He has no friends."
"But fortunately, we have a large family and extended family. They have all embraced him and showered him with a lot of love and attention."
"At 22 today, his speech is still pretty limited but from where we first started, he has come a long long way. He is able to now ask for simple things, ask to be excused, sing some songs, use the computer pretty well to search for his favourite Barney & Friends movies."
"He can definitely ask for his favourite food like - KFC, french fries, coke, nuggets!"
"Ryan has very good fine motor skills and eye-hand co-ordination. He is able to handle the needle very well. He is also able to work the sewing machine."
"Ryan does leather crafting as well as various forms of craft like decoupage on different medium."
Challenges of raising an autistic child in Singapore
What were some of the challenges you faced while raising him? Did you ever feel like giving up?
Soek Ying shares, "The frustration of not being able to understand him. It pains you when you see your child crying in pain and yet you cannot help him or understand what ails him."
"The frustration of the support system. Every SPED (Special Education) school has long waiting lists. The curriculum in SPED schools are still pretty much academic focused."
"Cost of the much needed therapies are so high. These children need frequent and regular therapies, yet, the costs are so daunting, and not many families can afford them."
"People like Ryan have a long learning curve. They have developmental delay. Yet, the school policies are done such that school stops after 18. They have so much to learn and yet, life after 18 is a steep fall down the cliff."
"Many age out without relevant skills that will help them find gainful employment. So many are either left at home or placed in Day Activity Centre (DAC). When they are younger, there are waiting lists for SPED schools. It is ironic that after 18, there are long wait lists for DAC!"
"Another challenge was societal acceptance of Ryan and his friends. It's 2018, and yet, there are still many people out there who think that Autism is a disease. They can get "infected" by association. That's why many of these kids have little or no friends."
"When these children have a meltdown in public places, many are quick to judge us, as having bad parenting styles.We still have a long way to go to becoming an inclusive society."
"Yet another obstacle we encountered was when Ryan turned 21. By law, he is an adult. So we as his caregivers can no longer act on his behalf. Yet, Ryan does not have the cognitive ability to manage his own affairs."
"For us to do so, we need to apply to the Family Court to be deputised to manage his affairs. To get this Deputyship we need to engage lawyers to make the submission. Legal fees could cost between $5k - $8k. How many families can afford to pay such fees?"
"Many parents would have thought that it was a natural process for parents to act on their special child's behalf. Thankfully, we are well-read and were able to research about such things. What about those who are not?"
"But, no, giving up has never been an option. God has blessed us with Ryan, it is our duty to care for him and protect him."
Support system for autistic children in Singapore
Do you feel that Singapore has an adequate support system for autistic / special needs children? If not, what more can be done?
Soek Ying tells us, "When compared to where we were at the beginning of our journey, Singapore has come a long way. There is definitely a lot of improvement. But there is still a lot of room for change and growth."
"I personally believe that the support system can be more seamless - from early intervention to school to post school. To put it crudely, a cradle to grave support system."
"Right now, the services and systems are very fragmented. There is no single repository for information and resources. There is no seamless transition from each critical stage in a special child's life."
"For the normal child, we all know for a fact from birth, the natural progression will be to kindergarten, then to Primary School, Secondary School, Collage/ITE, Poly, University, and finally work."
"For our special child, looking for available therapies is a challenge, let alone finding a kindergarten which will accept him/her."
"Then there are the SPED schools - limited in numbers and therefore a long queue. Finally, life after 18 - what do we do? Many caregivers with adult children like Ryan are fretting over what to do next."
"A lot of policies are made for "normal" citizens, and do not take into consideration people with special needs."
"Take for example, until 2017, the Edusave Account which eventually becomes the Post Secondary School Account (PSEA), could only be used for the payment of fees at ITE, Poly, University or WDA courses."
"Yet many of our special kids, who have the PSEA, will not be going into institutes of higher learning. WDA courses may be too challenging for them too. Other available customised training were not eligible for PSEA."
"Thankfully, MOE heard our feedback and from 2017, the PSEA can be used by our special needs kids for their training."
"Training for persons with special needs are few and far between. So, even if we want to help our child further develop his potential after 18, it will be a difficult, uphill task."
"How many tuition centres are geared for persons with special needs? For that matter, how many enrichment classes are for persons with special needs?"
"Only in recent years, some brave and courageous caregivers have taken upon themselves to organise group activities for special needs children. I really salute these caregivers - for their time and effort despite the fact that they are also caring for their own special children."
Worries about the future...
As you grow older, what are your biggest worries or concerns about Ryan?
Soek Ying says, "This is a concern not just for us. It is for all caregivers of special children - who is going to take care of them when we are gone?"
"Caring for our own child has been wrought with a lot of frustration, what will happen if he is being cared for by others? It is not an easy responsibility to shoulder even for his own siblings." Ryan has 3 siblings - 2 brothers and a sister.
"However, this end is inevitable. We do think about it, but won't wast time fretting over it."
"It is best we focus on the present and do as much as we can to empower and enable him. We strongly believe that Ryan still has a long growth runway. Therefore, our mission is to help him realise as much of his potential as possible."
Advice for other parents
It has been a long journey for mummy Soek Ying. We ask her what advice she has for parents of special needs children?
She tells us, "Early intervention is critical. Do not underestimate what occupational therapy can do for your child. I have seen many young adults who do not possess the necessary fine motor skills which are so critical in ensuring their successful integration into gainful employment."
"I often share with parents my shoe string story. When Ryan started his OT sessions, the first thing she told me was - change his velcro shoes to shoes with shoe string. If possible, get him more button shirts. I didn't really appreciate it then, but in his late teens, I realised its importance. More so now."
"Tying of the shoe string is actually building into his daily routine basic OT training - pincer grip, left-right hand coordination, eye-hand coordination. Similarly for buttoning of shirt."
"Look for opportunities in daily routine to help your child develop life skills. Don't look for perfection from the start, help him get the process right, perfecting the skill will come over time."
"Ryan is an able member of the family. He helps make each family member's bed. During weekends, he helps me prepare the meals for the family - he does cutting and washing up."
"If he is a helpful and contributing member of the family, at least when his siblings take care of him later, he will be able to contribute to the family and not be a source of burden."
"Acceptance of your child's condition is crucial to helping him. Many parents still struggle with accepting their child's condition and hence delay getting the much needed help for him."
"We are the only bridge to the outside world for our child. If we cannot accept him, who can he depend on?"
Thank you, Soek Ying for sharing your journey with us. We are sure your story will inspire and empower parents of special needs children to aim high, and look beyond their disabilities.

Male rabbits are neutered for a variety of reasons. It helps minimize fighting behavior, makes it impossible to impregnate females, and prevents testicular cancer.
At the Long Beach Animal Hospital use of the carbon dioxide laser is mandatory for all neuters. Our rabbit patients appreciate the fact that after surgery there is negligible pain, swelling, and inflammation.
This laser pain control, in addition to the pain injection we give before the rabbit wakes up, and the pain medication we send home, makes for a smooth and rapid recovery.
The laser is calibrated specifically for each surgery and patient
We have extensive experience using the laser over several decades, and commonly teach other doctors how to use it. In this picture Dr. Palazzolo is teaching one of our externs. If you follow our Facebook page you will see the externs post a Daily Diary of what they learned for the day while they are training with us.
Sometimes people get a jaded mindset when it comes to routine surgeries like neuters, that are performed by the thousands, especially at low cost spay and neuter clinics. It is a major surgery, and we treat it as such at the Long Beach Animal Hospital, which you will learn about in this page.
Several days prior to any surgery please bring in your pet for a preanesthetic exam and blood panel to confirm your pet is ready for anesthesia. At that time one of our doctors will go over any questions you have.
On the day of surgery we need your bunny in the hospital between 7:30 AM and 8 AM. Do not give your bunny anything to eat or drink the morning of surgery.
On the day of surgery we perform a pre-surgical exam prior to starting the procedure
Our veterinary surgeon will call you after the surgery is complete and your bunny is awake. It can go home in the late afternoon the day of surgery unless instructed otherwise.
Please call our office at 4 PM for pickup time, you will be given written post operative instructions then. We are open in the evening if you need to pick up later.
Graphic photos and videos on this page
The reason this male rabbit has one testicle substantially larger than the other is due to cancer. Removal of this testicle is needed for treatment. If this pet had been neutered at a young age this problem would not have occurred.
This rabbit has a severely infected testicle. The normal testicle is the pink object on the right. This is painful, and needs to be removed surgically. You will see this surgery at the end of this page.
Surgical Preparation
When the rabbit's pre-anesthetic blood panel and physical exam are completed, it is anesthetized and brought into surgery.
We use a special gas anesthetic that is gentle and safe. This is the induction chamber that is filled with 100% oxygen prior to administering any anesthesia. We do this to make the anesthetic safer.
Our surgical patients are kept warm with a circulation warm water blanket and additional warm fluids
Our rabbit patients are closely monitored when we perform surgery
Detailed records are kept of the anesthesia and surgery
We keep a close tab on important physiologic parameters for all of our surgeries. Monitors like this give us an early warning of an impending problem.
We don't rely only on the monitor, and take a "hands on" approach with the stethoscope and continual observation
Once our surgeon has scrubbed up and is in sterile gown, gloves, and mask, the surgery begins
As soon as our surgeon is done scrubbing he gowns up and prepares the sterile instruments. We want our surgeon ready to start the procedure as soon as our patient is prepped. This minimizes anesthetic time.
Our patient has been prepped and our surgeon is ready to drape
When our surgeon puts on the sterile drape the surgery is ready to commence
We use the laser for all or our neuters. It has significant advatanges over the scalpel blade. In this picture our doctor is just starting the laser incision. Notice the lack of bleeding.
With the laser there is no bleeding and much less post-operative pain and swelling. You can see the testicle appearing on the left where the scrotum has been incised by the laser.
The testicle has been brought out of the scrotal incision and is ready to be removed. This is a closed castration, because we have left the tissue covering the testicle, called the tunic, intact. Further down this page you will see an open castration.
Our surgeon has already put the first suture on the testicle, and is now ligating with an additional suture. We do this double suture on all of our neuters for safety reasons.
We use the laser again to cut the testicle away from the body. Throughout this whole procedure there has been no blood.
When we have removed both testicles we seal the scrotum with tissue glue. This is much more comfortable than sutures for such a thin scrotum
This is that badly infected testicle you saw previously. It is wrapped in gauze to maintain sterility during the surgery
Our surgeon is carefully removing the badly infected scrotum and testicle
The other testicle is now removed. This is an open castration because we have cut through the tunic, the covering over the testicle.
A comparison of the two show how severe the infection was
All of our bun bun neuters get a treatment with our cold laser to reduce swelling and pain after surgery. This one deserves it!
The best part of the cold laser treatment is the opportunity it gives you to wear these cool glasses for everyone in the room
We keep all of our smaller patients cozy warm after surgery. We have warm towels, warm water packs, and warm rooms for this. Sometimes our staff wants to do it themselves.
When your pet goes home we will give you a discharge sheet of instructions. Our staff can assist you in the giving medication if need be, and you are always welcome to come back the night of surgery to help us give medication if you are unable. We are open until midnight to assist you.
The surgical laser and cold laser allow us to do this surgery with our patients comfort in mind. It is so much better than using a scalpel blade. We have much more information about laser surgery.

Students at Bielefeld University of Applied Sciences have developed "Ourobot". / Their project was supervised by a professor at the Bielefeld University of Applied Sciences and a CITEC researcher.
It looks like a bicycle chain, but has just twelve segments about the size of a fist. In each segment there is a motor. This describes pretty much the robot developed by the four bachelor students in Computer Engineering, Johann Schröder, Adrian Gucze, Simon Beyer and Matthäus Wiltzok, at Bielefeld University of Applied Sciences. The project was supervised by Professor Dr. Axel Schneider of the Bielefeld University of Applied Sciences and Jan Paskarbeit from Bielefeld University. A new video introduces the robot.
What distinguishes "Ourobot" from other comparable robots are the pressure sensors found in its chain segments which enable it to detect and overcome obstacles. The name of the robot, by the way, was inspired by an ancient Egyptian symbol depicting a serpent eating its own tail, the Ouroboros. "At the moment Ourobot can only move straight ahead and cannot manage curves yet, but its sensors can detect obstacles, such as a book, and can traverse them", explains Jan Paskarbeit. The control mechanism behind this, i.e. the way the individual chain links interact in order to roll over an obstacle, involves a complex mathematical task. "It is remarkable how the students have solved this", says Axel Schneider. The professor is a co-opted member of CITEC and leads a large project at the Centre of Excellence developing "Hector", a walking robot. "There is no concrete application for Ourobot at the moment. It is a feasibility study, meaning basic research", explains Schneider. This also makes the project exceptional, as bachelor's projects at the University of Applied Sciences are usually application-oriented. "However, this does not rule out fundamental research projects, quite the opposite, we integrate the students early into research projects", adds Schneider.
The collaboration with the University continues with the master's degree in BioMechatronics, jointly offered by Bielefeld University and the Bielefeld University of Applied Sciences. Matthäus Wiltzok, who worked on the project, is now enrolled in this course. He and his colleagues are infected by the "robot virus", and all are keen to continue working in this area.
A highlight for the team was the visit of the international robot conference ICRA in Stockholm which took place in May this year. The research paper on Ourobot* was met with great interest there. There is a long way to go, however, before the project Ourobot is concluded, as it is continually in development. The supervisors' vision is to take the present robot that works in two dimensions "into the third dimension", as Schneider explains. "We would like to develop a robot that actively changes its form, which can adapt to its environment like an amoeba, capable of stretching and shrinking again", describes the professor. In this way, Ourobot can move through narrow terrain and overcome obstacles by means of different movements. The team has designed different variations of the new 3D version of Ourobot, similar to a ball or a snake. In this area, however, there is still much research to do.
A video shows Ourobot in action:

God has been trying to reveal to me exactly how I see myself, and in order to do that, He has to let me fail. He lets me do things my own way instead of the right way that He has shown me. He never forces me to learn my lesson – He just lets me live with the consequences of my disobedience, or sometimes sheer laziness.
I started out on a journey over 3 years ago to get victory over my eating disorder, which I believe I have. I don't binge and purge any more, I am relatively moderate in my eating and exercise. I don't eat for every emotion I have.
However, I have been losing my victory over weight loss. I lost 55 pounds at one point over 2.5 years, but I have regained 35 of it. The problem this time is not eating too much, it is eating the wrong things. I know full well how to eat – I ate Vegan for 2 years and it worked wonders.
But when my dreams of what my life would be like after losing weight didn't come to pass, and my life was just the same, I fell back on my self-comforting foods, and the result has been my weight gain. In other words, I still had the same hurts and debilitating beliefs in my life, and the weight loss didn't fix those. Now, God is making me face those horrible thoughts and feelings, bringing me face to face with the realization that I bring those with me wherever I go, at whatever weight I am. THOSE are the real problems, NOT my weight.
I am dealing with a combination of regret, fear and self-hatred right now. "Why did I allow myself to get to this place? What if I cannot break out of this pattern and change myself? What if I am always this way? If you could only control yourself, you wouldn't be this way!" These are the thoughts that plague me today. I look at myself with disgust and I can feel the self-hatred.
Then I hear God saying, "This is what I wanted you to see – your self-hatred rises up when you don't like what you look like. I don't want there to be a shred of self-hatred in you, regardless of your appearance. I want you to see why you hate yourself and be healed of that, not hide behind a false reason not to hate yourself. You know that I don't judge you on your looks. I love you because you are my spirit-child, so you are not judging yourself based on my standards. Whose standards are you judging yourself by?"
I hear in my spirit, "Oh, foolish Galatians, who is it that bewitched you? Why, when you started with the truth, are you now following after a lie?" Holy Spirit whispers, "What does the Father say about you? What do you know to be TRUE? What have we taught you?"
So, deep in my soul still lurk the roots of self-hatred, borne of seeds of judgment sown in my life by others. I swallowed those seeds thrown at me by others, by society and by people I knew personally. And I have let those roots grow deep in me, and now they are like the roots of California redwoods – massive and seemingly indestructible.
But my Father will not allow those roots to remain. He is determined to rid me of them, but I will have to do the digging to pull them up and destroy them. That means I have to feel when I stumble over one through painful or uncomfortable emotions. Then I have to dig down to see where it comes from and spend time getting at it and cutting it out. These roots have been there for decades, they are not coming out quickly, nor necessarily all at one time. I will have to chip away at them over time.
So in the meanwhile, I'm going to share with you the ways I am fortifying my mind to believe the truth of God so I can continue digging up my roots and pursuing my healing. These are my ABCs for today, and they soothe my soul and help me return to faith in God, that He will complete the work which He has started in me, and that my past does not determine my future. He loves me, and I am to love myself, not hate myself, and treat myself with loving-kindness and tenderness. I hope these will help you to love and treat yourself with tenderness as well, while simultaneously transforming you by the renewing of your mind.
I feel like I'll never conquer my problems because I haven't succeeded in the past, BUT GOD SAYS that even though Penny hasn't achieved it yet, Penny is to focus on one thing, forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead. Phil 3:13
I feel so ugly and ashamed of my appearance, BUT GOD SAYS that He does not look at Penny's outward appearance. He looks at Penny's heart. 1 Samuel 16:7
I just don't see myself ever changing, BUT GOD SAYS that He is faithful. He'll complete the good work that he has begun in Penny. Philippians 1:6
I want to comfort myself with food right now, BUT GOD SAYS Penny's stomach cannot be her God. (Phil 3:19)
I really want to eat things that are bad for me, BUT GOD SAYS that Penny does not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. Matthew 4:4
No matter how much I consume, I still desire more, BUT GOD SAYS that He quiets Penny's deep inner hunger because Penny is cherished by him. Psalm 17:14
I just can't seem to get it all right, BUT GOD SAYS that Penny is to continue to work out Penny's full salvation as God works in Penny according to His good purpose. Philippians 2:12-13
I just want to do something for myself to feel better, regardless of the consequences, BUT GOD SAYS that Penny experiences true life when Penny denies herself, turns from Penny's selfish ways and follows Jesus. Matthew 16:24-25
Sometimes I speak or act without thinking, BUT GOD SAYS that Penny is not to act thoughtlessly, but try to understand what the Lord wants Penny to do. Ephesians 5:17
I don't feel loved or lovable, BUT GOD SAYS that He continually pours out his love into Penny's heart by the Holy Spirit. Romans 5:5
I feel so weak, like I'll just keep giving in to temptation, BUT GOD SAYS that His power works best in Penny's weakness. 2 Corinthians 12:9
I don't know if I'm strong enough to do this, BUT GOD SAYS that God is Penny's refuge and strength, always with Penny and ready to help Penny in times of trouble. Psalm 46:1
I am so tired and weak right now, BUT GOD SAYS that He gives Penny strength when Penny is weary and increases Penny's power when Penny is weak. Isaiah 40:29
I can't see myself having victory in the long run, BUT GOD SAYS that because Penny places Penny's hope in Him, Penny can soar like an eagle, run and not grow weary, walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:31
Your sister in Christ,

How 'UnREAL' Predicted 'Bachelorette' Villain Chad
It happens on the premiere of the second season of UnREAL: When the minds behind the fake TV series Everlasting conjured up the current villain on this season's The Bachelorette.
On the June 6 launch of Lifetime's Bachelor-inspired drama, disgraced Everlasting creator Chet (Craig Bierko) launches into a speech about how their reality dating series needs a major revamping.
"When I was away all those months I wasn't just working on myself, I was thinking about the show's cultural legacy," he tells Quinn (Constance Zimmer), the show's executive producer. "We're telling men that it's okay to swoop out of the sky in diamond-studded helicopters — women don't respect that. You know what women respect? A man who can kill, with his bare hands."
He continues, "We have created a generation of wimps and bitches. We got a whole audience whose waiting for us to show them the natural order of things. Man, the audience will eat that up."
Oddly enough, two weeks earlier on May 23, a villain who fit that exact description was introduced to the reality TV world via The Bachelorette, and viewers have been eating him up in ratings ever since.
In some of the most violent scenes ever aired on the long-running ABC franchise, Chad Johnson, 28, of Tulsa, Oklahoma, has issued multiple threats to physically hurt several of his fellow contestants, even putting his hands around the neck of one while saying : "You're going to f—ing die if you don't chill out."
While there is always a contestant who is labeled as the season "villain," none have actually threatened to kill with his bare hands like Chet suggested — a line that was written before JoJo Fletcher's Bachelorette unleashed Chad, as production on UnREAL began in March.
This isn't the first time UnREAL, which has already been picked up for a third season and also stars Shiri Appleby, has preceded The Bachelor when it comes to casting. With the franchise long being criticized for its lack of nonwhite contestants, UnREAL beat the ABC series to the diversity punch by casting its first black bachelor, football star Darius Hill (B.J. Britt), on season two.
"The first season was about the princess fantasy and the idea that someone would come rescue you and how that hurts and destroys both sides of the gender spectrum," co-creator Sarah Gertrude Shapiro, who previously worked on The Bachelor, told The Hollywood Reporter ahead of season two. "And then also race was something we had touched on so briefly but that is really vitally important to all of us in terms of what's going on in the world right now, so it felt like masculinity and race were two incredible things to move towards ... It can't be ignored and we feel like it's one of the most pressing things going on."
Meanwhile on The Bachelorette, the June 6 episode left off with Chad being eliminated and returning to the house where the men are staying in a menacing manner, appearing to be coming to collect on the threats he made earlier.
"I felt like he was losing it, he was becoming super unstable," another contestant, Alex Woytkiw, told THR about the Chad drama, which ended with a "To Be Continued." The booted contestants typically exit the show the night they are eliminated, but, in another rare move, Chad will continue to see more air time when the show returns with a new episode Monday night.
It looks like ABC heard Chet's advice to milk Chad for all he's worth.
Follow all of THR's coverage of the Monday night shows, here for UnREAL and here for The Bachelorette.

Street Side Silvia
Here goes, my first build thread. I have a 92 Nissan Silvia, I'll try to keep it short and sweet.
To kick it off here is the history on how I got into this car:
I started with this Hootpy that I bought from a local guy. It was disgusting, But I was so excited to get into a car I have watched so many youtube videos and loved so much, that I did not notice a lot of the negatives on the car.
4in' dual fence pipe exhaust on a dual cam, no heat, bald tires, trunk didnt open, car was in a front end collision despite the clean title, etc.
I learned a lot from this car. Despite the mistake I made, I would not take it back.
I somehow managed trading that hootpy for a SR20 S14. This car came with a brand new HKS exhuast, new square wheels with new toyos. It had minor issue with the ebrake cable being siezed and needed a new caliper. Also had a cooling issue where it would start to over heat at a light. But be way to cold while running.
After having some fun with it, I decided I want to start from scratch and do my own build. Not deal with someone else's troubles. I then traded that car for a 89 Single cam with 56k miles, service records, etc.
This is the next day I got it.
Shortly after I got some wheels.
Then life happened.
I only had this car a little less than a year. Im still sad about this car.
Fast forward 6 months and I almost finished build a S14. I bought a 95 shell, Concord Grey, literally everything for for it was in a box and I got a large coffee can full of bolts (Fun).
Only two pictures I have.
Long story short. I spent a whole summer wrenching on the side of the road in the Utah heat. I could get the car running off of starter fluid through the intake, went through 2 or 3 ecus, ended up trading the car. The next owner told me the brand new wiring specialties harness was pinned wrong. So that was a big bummer.
Traded that car for a 91 Toyota Soarer, My first RHD.
This car was so much fun. The most comfortable car I have owned. Did several long distance trips without any trouble.
After a lot of thinking, I decided that the boat had to go. I missed all my S-Chassis and was getting the craving again. I couldnt find any s-chassis that I thought were worth the same value as my soarer that wanted to trade. Eventually word got around about a Silvia sitting in a lot local to me. I did some digging and found the owner and reached out to him. We checked out each others cars and after some talk back and forth he traded me his silvia + a ton of parts that I could sell.
Sorry for the long write up, but that is how I got into the Silvia.
A few days after I got it I was already back in the canyons.
SR20DE Super clean inside and out.
Through all my canyon runs I went through the brakes pretty quick, for some reason I could not find the pads for the calipers on the car. I tried everything from different year s13 pads to maxima and sentra pads. I figured why hassle myself and decided it was time to upgrade them anyway.
CTSV Brakes with Z33 Track Rotors, kinda overkill but these should do great in the canyons.
With that, I had to swap to 5 lug.
Sorry for the terrible photo, only one I can find. Ignore the lamp on the Apexi box.. Included in the photo is Ichiba 5-Lug, Stoptech braided lines, AC Delco pads. All ready to install, just waiting on the CTSV Swap brackets and I need to find some 5 lug wheels.
Found some R33 GTR wheels for a decent price with tires.
After a day of wrenching I got it all 5 lug swapped with the wheels and brakes on.
After a LOT of bleeding and having the girl in the car to pump the brakes it was ready for a drive.
The brakes stop on a dime! The pedal feel just isnt there. Im going to need to figure out what to do for a master cylinder. LHD cars can get a z32 master. Im wondering if I can get a R33, or RHD Z32 master to help with the feel. I am also going to have to figure out something for the rear since I still have the stock ones.
Shortly after the brake swap, the motor blew on my way to work cruising on the freeway. No idea how, nor do I really care, or want to spend the effort on it to find out.
Here is where the car stayed for a few months. Due to the timing in life, I couldn't put much time or money into it for awhile.
Fast forward a few months.
I managed to move out on my own and finally got my own garage.
I can finally start wrenching on the Silvia again.
While looking for the motor we added a new addition to the family.
90 BMW 318is
I love these cars I went through a few E30s before I joined the S-chassis family.
After a lot of searching I was able to find a reasonably priced SR, with a catch.
I had to buy the old Chevy Luv with it.
This probably was a sweet little truck at one point, has a fuel cell in the back, enjuku tune, Apexi SAFC, Meth injected, tons of other parts.
The guy I got it from was super cool. Said back in the day he was sponsored by FRsport. Not sure what he used the truck for, sounded like a little bit of everything. He started it up for me, apart from bad gas it sounded pretty good.
This is where I will leave it for now, still waiting on parts in the mail and I have to get a engine hoist, It is currently ready to pull.
More to come..

Man, really sad to see what happened to that low mileage hatch you had. I am sure that must have been heartbreaking.
Looking forward to seeing more progress on this! Very jealous of the two tone Silvia. Keep it up!

Thank you! Big updates coming soon.

Hey guys, sorry for the delayed update. I had a lot of life happen in a little time and had to find motivation and get back on my feet.
Finally got the motor pulled!
It was nice having this extra motor for all the little parts I needed of it.
This new wiring specialties pro harness finally came in. Hopefully its not pinned wrong like the last one.
Pulled the motor out of the truck shortly after, check out my garage heater grill. It was FREEZING.
Put the motor in the silvia. At this point im not too hyped on the turbo set up. The routing for intake piping wont work the way it is clocked and after I clock it the wastegate wont work. Looks like Ill be going to bottom mount soon.
Skipping forward I did a bunch of little stuff that wasnt worth taking photos. Pulled out all the AC stuff since I wont be using it. Still waiting on parts, FRsport normally treats me well but after my last few orders being lagged with little no zero communication ill be taking my business elsewhere. Where do you guys shop?
Heres some of my parts that showed up.
Diftech premium lines, Mishimoto rad+shroud+fans, wiring specialties harness and grounding kit.
Cant say enough how impressed I am with the quality of the chase bays fan controller. Cant wait to wire this thing up.
Little complaint with wiring specialties harness. the harness showed up with the grommet off of it. It was minor but a pain in the ass to get it to try to squeeze over. I ended up cutting it and putting it over.
I received some TFworks valve cover hardware and after mocking up a bolt decide that it made my valve cover paint look worse than before and decided to repaint it.
Im pretty hyped on this, best spray paint job I have done yet. Still need to figure out what to do with the coilpack cover.
More updates to come soon. Waiting on some fuel delivery stuff and need to go pick up a boatload of hardware.

Home Renovation Month
Every year the Canadian Home Builders' Association designates October as Renovation month across Canada and this year, the benefits have never been greater, especially when it comes to energy efficiency.
The most important aspect of any renovation is finding the right professional to do the job. The demands introduced in the building code over the past two decades have created the need for much more sophisticated materials and complex components in all projects. This rapid evolution in building science required a new breed of professional renovators who are connected to organizations that can help them constantly upgrade their skill and knowledge sets. The days of reliable home 'handymen' are gone.

Dress lets Dad feel the baby kick
Dads-to-be feeling a bit unconnected from the baby in the womb? Designer Marco Righetto has come up with a perhaps-too-novel approach to the problem: a dress worn by the expecting mother that senses baby's kicks, and a bracelet worn by the father that transmits that action in a way he feels immediately.
"Aura is a set of wearable devices for expecting parents," he says, "a dress and a bracelet. It enables non-verbal communication between expecting parents. Fetal movement is translated into a light message for the mother-to-be, and a haptic one for her partner."
It's just a concept now, apparently. There's more information here.

At the beginning of October we started our A to Z of sex and disability looking at the loves and lusts of disabled people in Britain today. So, as we put our A-Z to bed – how was it for you?
Z for Zzzz is part of Scope's A to Z of sex and disability.
Here's a quick summary of the coverage and the best responses to the campaign you may have missed:
Let's Talk About Sex
The coverage kicked off with BBC Newsbeat featuring 19-year-old Jack and 24-year-old Holly who talked about dating, sex, disability and some of their awkward moments – Yes, disabled people do have sex – and maybe we should talk about it.
The story was also picked up by BBC Asian Network, who had an interesting discussion about how disability is seen in some Asian communities.
This Sex Is On Fire
The Telegraph's Women's Life section covered the campaign and the stories of Sam Cleasby and Emily Swiatek. They spoke about how being disabled has encouraged them to explore sex in a more radical way.
You Can Leave Your Hat On
The Femail section of The Daily Mail covered the campaign and Emily Yates, Sam Cleasby and Kelly Perks-Bevington shared their experiences.
The story included photos from the Undressing Disability campaign, and whilst most Daily Mail readers were hugely supportive of the campaign, commenting on the stunning photos and the bravery of the people involved, some weren't quite as keen. Some politely asked them to their clothes back on, one reader wrote: "no thank you..I am eating my breakfast!":
Let's Get It On
G is for Gay happily coinincided with Coming Out Day and Buzzfeed wrote a indepth story about Charlie, who spoke about being bisexual and disabled.
The BuzzFeed LGBT community instantly fell in love with Charlie, commenting on how attractive and awesome he is. For some, the article drew awareness to discrimination that can happen within the gay community. For others the story rang true – "this article was so great in that it finally articulated many of my thoughts and feelings about sexuality, sexual orientation, disability, and the intersections thereof. Major props to you".
All you need is love
We hope you've enjoyed our A-Z of sex and disability as much as we've enjoyed sharing it. Thank you to everyone who made it possible.
We'd love to hear your feedback – comment below, tweet us or email email@example.com.
