Urine specific gravity is a laboratory test that measures the concentration of all chemical particles in the urine.
Urine density
After you provide a urine sample, it is tested right away. The health care provider uses a dipstick made with a color-sensitive pad. The color the dipstick changes to will tell the provider the specific gravity of your urine. The dipstick test gives only a rough result. For a more accurate result, your health care provider may send your urine sample to a lab.
Your health care provider will ask you to temporarily stop any medicines that may affect the test results. These may include dextran and sucrose. Be sure to tell your provider about all the medicines you take. Do not stop taking any medicine before talking to your provider.
Also tell your provider if you recently received intravenous dye (contrast medium) for an x-ray. The dye can also affect test results
The test involves only normal urination. There is no discomfort.
This test helps evaluate your body's water balance and urine concentration.
This test helps check your body's water balance and urine concentration.
Osmolality is a more specific test for urine concentration. The specific gravity test is easier and more convenient, and is usually part of a routine urinalysis . As such, the osmolality test may not be needed.
Increased urine specific gravity may be due to different conditions such as:
Decreased urine specific gravity may be due to:
There are no risks with this test.

BRYN MAWR, PA., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1924 Price 10 Cents i 1 STUDENTS AT SUMMER SCHOOL ENTHUSIASTIC Girls from Industry Eager Opportunities of Winter Students at College for FOREIGNERS CONiRIBUTE POEMS (Specially Contributed by the Under- graduate Workers of the School.) "Well, girls, we'll never see each other again." Thus one of the Summer School students cheerfully expressed the-thought that was uppermost in all of their minds as the end of the term approached. I came into a room on the second floor of Merion one night and found three of them looking very disconsolate; one I knew had been weeping, the others were ready to do so. Frances Franklangia finally burst o�t: � ''Welt, I want to get home, believe me, I won't feel badly at .getting home at all. What I'm worrying about is what I'll say when they ask me what I learned here!" Tfiat was very amusing, but too true. Many of them upon arriving home were expected to give up'thcir old jobs, if they were still in demand, and take much bet- ter ones, even salaried positions, for they had gone to "college." Many.of them are going to night school and doing their best CONTINUED ON FACE 5 LIBERAL CLUB ACTIVITY TO BE WIDER IN SCOPE THIS YEAR Plans aid Speakers Announced at First Meeting in Taylor Hall VESPERS LED BY PRESIDENT OF CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION M.

Greene" to E- Nelson, chair- man of the Sophomore Play Committee, under the circumstances I have no objec- tions to your giving one performance of Quality Street." Accordingly, one perform- ance of Quality Street is to be given in the gymnasium on Saturday evening, November 22. Those who are stepping out of hockey into hoop skirts, to play the spinsters and beaux of "Quality Street" are as follows: Miss Susan ..................E. Nelson Miss Phoebe .................J.

Norton is designing the sets, with M Jones as stage manager and J. Leonard, since the resig- nation of G. Hayes, is head of the cos- tume committee. Explaining the activities and new aims of the Liberal Club in an open meeting in Taylor Hall last M^iday night, K. Tom- kins '26, presidents the club, emphasized the need of open-mindedness in discussing modern questions. _____________ "We are not Bolsheviks nor com- munists," said Miss Tomkins. "We are pledged to no specific party or beliefs. Our policy is to bring forward , leading problems and examine them without prej- udice. "Not only political and industrial topics, but also discussions of art, drama, music and literature will be included in this year's program." To cover this field, she explained, prom- inent outside speakers have been obtained and discussion groups led by members of the college faculty will be arranged. "What we all need is not to reach arbi- trary conclusions, but to examine every phase of our modern life clearly and criti- cally. To stick to the established order, is too easy. What the Liberal Club can do is to bring us in contact with men and women who have gone ahead and chal- lenged different phases of twentieth cen- tury life on political, ethical or aesthetic grounds." > H. Chisoltn '25, treasurer of the club, then read the list of speakers and subjects. Deems Taylor,- composer of the Alice in Wonderland symphony, will lecture on modern music; Roger Baldwin, on labor problems; Mrs. Sanger, on birth control; George Middleton, author of "Polly with a Past," on American drama; Yusuka Tsurumi, graduate of the University of Tokio, on present day Japan; Ifor Evans, on contemporary British personalities; and Norman Thomas, candidate for Gov- ernor of New York on the La Follette ticket on pacifism.

Stewardson, '23, president of the Christian Association, spoke at vespers last Sunday night. ''I suppose I have changed my mind over what I believe about as many times as the average person does in college," she said. "When I came I didn't know what I believed, and wished that I did. |"After that, I suddenly settled everything, and knew just what I believed. Of course I discovered after about a month that I had worked myself into ah emo- tional state of excitement, and that it was obviously impossible to fit all of life into a neat little plan. I then varied from ag- nostic to luke-warm Christian, depending on what idea struck me last. I muddled myself continually, but with an ever de- creasing anguish of mind. The more one inows, the more evident it becomes that �ne cannot make cut^and dried schemes about life. The more independent one becomes, the less one tries to settle every- thing. And one worries less about the Whys and whats of the universe as one learns to live in it a little better. "I happen to be made in such a way (hat things appeal to me far more if I see than if I hear or read about them. That is why something 1 saw this sum- mer impressed me far more than all things people said, or I have read, about the life of Christ. That which impressed ljie so much was a crucifix in the Dijon iluseum�quite a small one�an ivory igure on a wooden cross. I liked it so much because he seemed to be a man. Not just the very beautiful head, "but the ? hole body expressed life�very triumph- ant life. The figure represented death, but even in death he seemed to live. i "The second thing that impressed me particularly about the crucifix was the realization of the love and sympathy the CONTINUED ON PACEM VARSITY BEATEN IN FIRST GAME OF YEAR Germantown Hockey Club Crushes Brown Team by Score Of 9-0 SUPERIOR SPEED WINS VICTORY Varsity was overwhelmingly beaten by Germantown in the first game of the season last Saturday morning with the score of 9 to 0. The playing was swift and widespread, the ball traveling rapidly from one end of the field to the other. There was much clean passing and clever stick work especially on the part of Gepmautown. The Germantown team played a fai quicker game than Varsity and outwitted Bryn Mawr often by the speed and cleverness of their dodging. The defense stiffened but was unable to hold back the victorious team. In the second half the Varsity backs (ought desperately but the opposing foe- wards rushed the ball with such speed and determination that a goal almost in- variably resulted. S. Walker, '2�, was most effective in checking the forwards and made some brilliant shots, while the goal keeper, G. Macy, '26, cleared wed. The line-up was: Germantown�Morgan, Brinton, Wie- oer.

Pkero's Farce First Proceed Bryn Mawr In 1896 The Amazbns, a brisk romantic farce by Sir Arthur Pinero, has been chosen by 1926 as their Junior play. Hoping for sons, a mother contracts daughters instead. Brought up as boys, the three masculine misses nevertheless show alarming symptoms of becoming women, and? of course, they meet men. Originally'produced in London in 1893, this lively comedy first appeared at Bryn Mawr in 1896, when President Park* then an undergraduate, took the part of Oorts. The Amazons will be the first Junior play given in two years, the last having been //, by Lord Dunsany, a half-serious fantasy produced by 1924. g. Walker, in charge of the casting; M. Parker, in charge of costumes and scenery, and K. Morse, of business, are 1926's Junior Play Committee.' Distribution of roles has not yet been announced. Miss Ward, "21, will be the coach. The origin and development of political parties in the United States was the sub- ject of the first lecture on Current Events given by Dr. Fehwick, professor of poli- ties, last night. Dr. Fenwick will continue his lectures every Tuesday night at 7.30 in Taylor Hall. BOOKSHOP OFFERS CHANCE FOR PROFITABLE INVESTMENT �et Profits Will Be Divided Among Members and Scholarship Fund Membership in the Bryn Mawr Co- operative Society is open to undergradu- ates until November 15 on payment of �MM. Originally the Bryn Mawr Bookshop was conducted by undergraduates who Vere able, by working there to pay part of their college expenses. The amount of time required, however, was so great that in 1920 President Thomas decided to form the Co-operative Society. Under the direction of Mrs. George Wharton Barrington, the present mana- ger, the society was established in 1921- 1922. The gross sales rose from $RO00 to over $18,000 in 1923-1924. In 1923-1924 35 per cent, of the net profit was retained by><lie society to cover increased expenses and balance $620 or 32 1-: paid to the member dividends, and Alumnae Fund/ ' for scholarships.

/ * The College News 2-615 VOL. XXV, No. 12 BRYN MAWR AND WAYNE, PA., WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1939 i&gJJBftJfljfEBBtfm PRICB 10 CENTS it i College Hears Piano Recital By Myra Hess Subtlety of Interpretation Distinguishes Pianist's * Performance ENCORES INCLUDE SCARLATTI, BACH Goodhart, February 7.�Myra Hess's piano fecital proved to be another highlight in the College Entertainment Committee's Series. In a well-chosen program her exquisite taste appeared to better advantage than ever and sustained the standards of excellence already set by the Trapp Choir and Ruth Draper. The Bach D minor Toccata which she played first was unfamiliar to most listeners. It was not the thun- dering Bach of the Organ Toccata and Fugue in the same key; it contained rather the elements of straightfor- ward simplicity and clarity which heightened its melancholy nature. Its generous length encompassed four dis- tinct sections, the first and third pre- ludising, each followed by a fugue. The third seemed especially lovely in its use of a quiet, deeply felt theme, while the fourth emphasized a light, quick touch.' Schubert's Sonata in B flat major was almost as novel to the audience and was well received. Miss Hess ob- viously took extreme pleasure in its delightful arpeggio figures, quick turns from major to minor, and put a great *deal into her performance. Although one would hesitate to rank it with Schubert's greatest composi- tions, its beauty is undeniable. The _rest of the program was de- voted to conCert-hall favorites. Bee- thoven's Opus 13, the "grande sonate pathetique" as he himself termed it, was the mo6t ambitious undertaking as far as interpretation was concerned. JJiss Hess's wonderful ability to make every note real music, every phrase clear, made it memorable. She did not force any of it, even the ominous opening phrase, and the slow move- ment's noble beauty came out with real artistry. In both this and the Schubert one was conscious of the dif- ference between hers and the usual masculine.interpretation: while she in Continued on Pane Four Library Wing Will Be Started This Spring Council Discusses New Plans For Undergraduate Forums, Athletic Building The,President's House, February 8. �The first Council meeting of the sec- ond semester met at* Miss Park's house last Wednesday. The chief top- ics under discussion were: the new Library Wing, the benefit to be given for the Theater Workshop, under- graduate chapels, the work of the Cur- riculum Committee, the new athletic building, and the'German Scholarship. The minutes of the last meeting were read and discussed in greater detail. The final plans for the new Library Wing have been seen and approved, and the portrait of Quita Woodward, by Violet Oakley, is progressing. Work on the building is to be started about April first. The wing is ex- pected to be completed next spring. The question of the need for gen- oral undergraduate discussion meet- ings was again raised. It was felt that an outside speaker or an under- graduate leader should summarize these problems, and present them to the meetings. Every undergraduate Continued on Page Three Progress is Subject Of Dr. Hart's Talk Claims Individual Advance Will Eventually Solve Social Problems Music Room, February 12.�"Prog- ress and Religion�Public and Per- sonal," was the subject chosen by the Reverend John Robbins Hart, lecturer, consulting psychologist and minister at the Valley Forge Chapel, for his talk in chapel. n> Progress, in the modern sense, was not understood or believed in by the ancients. The world, as they saw it, moved in a cycle, rising under a great leader or a great culture and falling when such props were removed. Dr. Hart likened world histpry to a spiral which moves up and down but always forward. As the world ad- vances in this way, the huhfan race becomes increasingly aware of the ways in which to save itself. The ancients regarded poverty as per- petual and incurable; today we make definite attempts to rid ourselves of Continued on Page Three Record Collection Opens in Rhoads Hall; Inspiration Music Popular During Exams. The arrival of the Carnegie record collection at Bryn Mawr just after Christmas vacation was particularly opportune. It seems that students were in need of some external stimu- lation to study, for the Brahms' Aca- demic Overture was noticeably popu- lar during mid-year examinations. Equally in demand during this period was Bach's sacred music, particularly the B minor Mass. We see in this an indication that the students take their examinations a lot more seriously than they are willing to admit. The � collection is very representa- tive, although-not over large; there are about one thousand records. Com- posers range from Wagner, Bach and Beethoven on one extreme to Gersh- win, Duke Ellington and Benny Good- man on the other. The history of music is covered from the earliest folk and cliurch music to present day com- positions. The card catalogue, which is divided^into four listings as to Composer, Medium, Form, Title, shows that every form of musical construc- tion is included. There is even a list- ing for Yodels, but the collection has not as yet acquired any selections of this somewhat frustrated form of mu- sical expression. Two important features of the col- lection are the library and the hand- some Capehart victrola. At present the Capehart is not in working order, having perversely entered into a per- iod of great silence after only a few days of utility. It is being repaired, however, and should be ready soon. The library includes some two hun- dred books, a good partrof which are scores for the great symphonies and operas. There are critical studies of music in relation to art, science and literature. Other books deal with the lives of well known composers, and the history of music development in foreign countries such as China, Africa and Russia. The selections that Myra Hess played were popular before and after her performance, especially Beethov- en's Sonata Pathetique. The concerts at the Academy of Music also seem to stimulate the students to use the li- brary more frequently. There have recently been quite a few requests for The Gondoliers, which is unfortu- nately absent from the collection. However, there are other Gilbert and Sullivan operettas in their entirety, as well as many of the more popular Straugs waltzes. The collection is in Room 156, Rhoads North. It is possible to get records there from seven to eight o'clock every evening except Sunday. The records may be taken out for three days at a time at two cents a record, but there is a heavy fine of five cents a day per record for over- time. The money collected is to be used for repairing the equipment and for replacing and enlarging the col- lection. R. C.M.

Indian Poetry Deals With Supernatural Tlie Deanery, February 9.�Ruth Murray Underhill, Ph. D., limited her lecture on Indian Poetry to that of the Southwest, where she has�been working for a number of years. She began by explaining that among the Indians the poet, in our sense of the word, does not exist. A person deal- ing with the supernatural uses poetry as a vehicle for spells, charms and prayers. The embellishment and con- ventionalization of these utilitarian forms came secondarily in the devel- opment of Indian poetry, as it has in all other forms of Indian art. Dr. Underhill grouped the poetry of the Indians of the Southwest in three main forms, pure lyrics, .saga, and ritual. The first, or lyrical type, is written to be sung, and is inseparable from music. It appears in spells to cure illness or to guard against supernat- ural powers, and is composed during a trance or a vision. It has rhythm, in a very long and complicated form, but never rhyme in our sense of the word. In Papago the actual words are changed by the addition of sylla- bles to produce the desired effect of emotion. By this alternation of the words the sense is often completely lost, and a magic language results. Another trait peculiar to Papago lyrics is the br&vity jjjf description. A single image is used with other parts of -the subject matter - under- stood. Navajo lyrics, on the other hand, 'rely on repetition for their ef- fect.' The saga, said Dr. Underhill, re- sembles the romance of Aucassin and Nicolette in form: prose, with songs to mark the emotional parts. Stand- ardization of prose or verse varies a great deal with the tribe. The dia- logue is like that of our modern I Continued on Page Three FRESHMAN DEVJL TO GRIN IN GOODHART The coming freshman show to be given on Saturday, February 25, re- turns in theme from the wanderings of long-lost kings to the usual chaos of the smoking room. The familiar scent of freshman intrigue is pre- valent, but the class of 1942 seems bent on keeping their politics behind closed doors. "The Devil Did Grin" was written by Madelaine Daly, Jocelyn Flem- ing, Joan Gross and Deborah Martin. The play is being produced under the direction.of: M. Daly, director; C. Waples, general manager; J. Fleming, stage manager; M. Gumbart, business manager; M. Hollis, posters; M. Gilman, costumes; M. Catron, lights; M. McGrath, rcenery; E. Stone, properties; V. Williams, danc- ing. Jacqueline Wilson and Louise Lewis have charge of the music. The most important parts which have been cast are�Gabriel, A. Loewe; The Devil, L. Horton; St Peter, V. French. K. Hepburn to Star In W orkshot) Benefit Theresa Helburn and Katherinc Hepburn, Bryn Mawr alumnae, will devote the afternoon of February 28 to the cause of the Bryn Mawr Thea- ter Workshop with a benefit matinee performance of Philip Barry's The Philadelphia Story, a new Theatre Guild production staged by Miss Hel- burn and co-featuring Miss Hepburn. The Barry play opens at the Chest- nut Street Opera House on February 27. For students attending the bene- fit performance there will be a special bus leaving from Pembroke Arch. Students are invited to a cocktail party at the Warwick Hotel, in Phila- delphia after the performance. Re- freshments are not free of charge but it will be possible to meet Miss Hep- burn, other members of the cast, Miss Helburn and Mr. Barry. Tickets for the special performance may be obtained either through the Publication Office or from the follow- ing representatives: Denbigh, Marga- ret McGrath; Merion, Juliana Day; Pembroke East, Ethel Clift; Pembroke West, Sarah Meigs; Rockefeller, Pen- nell Crosby; Rhoads, Adele Clement; and non-resident, Lucille Sauder. Also as part of the program for raising money for the Theater Work- shop, an Amateur Night will be held some time in April, and two one-act plays are to be presented by the Play- ers Club in March, Riders te the Sea and The ^ew School for Wives. Fur- ther details about these projects will be announced later. Dr. Chodoff Speaks On Spanish Struggle fcriuds Integrity of Loyalists and Traces Development of > Rebellion Common Room, February 8.�At a meeting sponsored by the A. S. U., Dr. Richard Chodoff^ spoke on the critical military and political situa- tion in Spain. A veteran of the Abra- ham Lincoln Brigade, he served five months in government hospitals dur- ing the year of 1937. Dr. Chodoff began his discussion by describing the conditions in Spain that led to the establishment of the first republic in 1931. Up to that time, he stated, the country was vir- tually a feudal monarchy, divided into great estates worked by the peasantry and completely under the control of absentee landlords, who were either hereditary nobles or church officials. The first republic attempted to reform the agrarian system, but its laws were not drastic, enough. .As a result, the Conservatives gained an" election in 1934 and, once in power, abolished the first republic's reforms altogether. In 1936, however, a Popular Front Gov- ernment was elected, and again at- tempted the reforms for six months, or until the rebellion broke out. The rebellion was not spontaneous, but was engineered by the regular army and the Moors. It was most successful in the 'Southern garrison towns. The navy, which had been re- organized, was loyal to the govern- ment; so was the great mass of the common people. Rather than live under Franco's government, they evacuated their villages as he ad- vanced and retreated into Loyalist territory. As a result, the govern- ment now has to care for more than half the population of the country. . The government, Dr. Chodoff pointed out, has refrained almost en^ tirely from the atrocities of the Fas- cists. There have been no outrages against the Church "except in the first few days of the rebellion when there was no police force and anarchy broke loose. As soon as the govern- ment collected an army, such out- breaks were promptly suppressed." The people, he emphasized, are not protesting against either religion orj Catholicism as such, but against the tyrannous and aristocratic hierarchy fcf the Church. Continued on Page Three Current Events Main Interest Of Workers Summer School Director, Hilda Smith, Discusses Its Problems TRAINED TEACHERS ARE BADLY NEEDED Common Room, February 10.� "What is happening, why it is hap- pening, and what can be done about it": these are the problems which in- terest labor education groups, accord- ing to Miss Hilda Smith, former dean of Bryn Mawr and director of the Summer School. Practical teaching to suit workers' problems and democratic |�organization of teachers and students were stressed by Miss Smith in her discussion of the whole movement. The recent decision of the Bryn Mawr Summer School to move and be- come the "Hudson Shore Labor School" was made with great reluc- tance, said Miss Smith, as the move- ment was founded in Bryn Mawr. Greater experimental progress will be possible, however, when the school can run all year and organize short, week- long courses and frequent week-end conferences and forums, for many active labor leaders cannot get away for a whole summer's course. The Bryn Mawr School for Indus- trial Workers was the pioneer in this field. Spreading from it, students and faculty, inspired by new possibilities,, went out and organized study groups in their own communities. These groups, often faced with wretched fa- cilities and political opposition, were carried on by the enthusiasm of the students. A seconS! step, due to the impetus of the Bryn Mawr school, was an appropriation by the Federal gov- ernment in 1933 to provide work for 40,000 unemployed teachers. One thousand of these have been teaching workers' classes every year. The demand for schools is now fully aroused, but trained instructors are lacking. Miss Smith emphasized the need for college people who have a Continued on Page Four Mrs. Miller Advises Government Employ Common Room, February IS.� Eight hundred thousand people are now employed by. the government, said Mrs. Helen Hill Miller, Bryn Mawr, '21, in introducing her informal ^talk on Government Service. Authoress, senior agricultural writer of the De- partment of Agriculture, and admin- istrative secretary of the National Policy Committee, Mrs. Miller is em- inently qualified to discuss civil serviee. v Leaving particular information to be brought out in answer to ques- tions, Mrs. Miller first emphasized the need for potential candidates to de- cide whether they wanted an interim job for a few years, or a permanent position with chances of advancement. The general type of work wanted must also be considered, no matter what particular field interests the ap- plicant. Three general .groupings of jobs were made by Mrs. Miller: technical research, administrative work,-which consists in correlating research activi- ties and-relaying the results to policy makers, and finally, political appoint- inents. The best approach to the lat- ter is by the long route of local activ- ity and step by step appointments to state and national offices. � Specialized examination* are offered for research jobs, and after passing these, one "may work up in a particu- lar department. Personnel work, or employment as a junior civil service examiner, is also available following examination. This'Tpves general ex- perience and contacts which may later lead to a desired job in a particular field.

Is it possible that much of our history is missing from our knowledge and classrooms?
Answer was "Yes."
That it is deliberately missing?
Is is possible by this method of missing history ..to mislead and deceive a whole people ..a whole nation about themselves and events...what things truly are...not what we are allowed to know???
Is it possible by this organized system of omission to, achieve it's desired effect,
to steal a nation away from its own people and get them to conduct themselves in a manner for which they know not what they do??
For such a system to achieve it's goals it would have to be a very devout and zealous religion..one whose true nature is not known by most of those who will be subject to it?
Such a devout, organized, zealous religion would be a counterfeit religion to that which most of the people believe?
Give me the name of the god of such an religion..the counterfeiter??

Amino acids are organic compounds that combine to form proteins . Amino acids and proteins are the building blocks of life.
When proteins are digested or broken down, amino acids are left. The human body uses amino acids to make proteins to help the body:
Amino acids can also be used as a source of energy by the body.
Amino acids are classified into three groups:
Essential amino acids
Nonessential amino acids
Conditional amino acids
You do not need to eat essential and nonessential amino acids at every meal, but getting a balance of them over the whole day is important.

"This is the first summer in three years when Cody has been healthy and able to train," says his Edmonton-based agent, Ritch Winter. "He's a little bit behind the curve with his play because he's had these injury problems but his attitude is great, he's probably as strong as he's ever been in his life and he's looking forward to this season."
Hodgson has been training with former NHLer Gary Roberts, much the same as he did last year, and he's also had something of a boost from former Conn Smythe trophy winner Claude Lemieux, who works with some of Winter's clients on the mental side of the game.
So there you have it. When the Canucks need someone to deliver punishment to the opponent, we'll all be able to count on Silent G to hit the ice and run someone face-first into the boards.

If you find an injured raptor...
If you find an injured raptor, special steps are needed to protect it and yourself. The following steps will ensure everyone's safety:
- Never feed an injured raptor. Raptors have very specific dietary needs and even the best meat available to you may be inappropriate for a raptor. Also, most injured raptors are suffering from dehydration and/or emaciation, so food or water may kill it.
- Handle the raptor only if absolutely necessary! The less contact it has with people, the more likely it will be to survive. Stress is deadly for these birds.
- If you must handle a raptor, wear long, heavy gloves and use a blanket or towel to cover the bird. Gently fold the raptor's wings against its body into a normal, relaxed position.
- Place the raptor in a cardboard box with small ventilation holes cut near the floor of the box. The box should be slightly larger than the bird. Less room to thrash around means less chance of the raptor causing itself injury.
- NEVER use a wire cage, transport raptors in the open bed of a truck, or leave the raptor in a place where temperatures could reach extremes.
- Provide the raptor with a dark, quiet, and warm environment. DO NOT keep the raptor any longer than absolutely necessary and always keep it away from pets and children.
- Remember, even a seriously injured or seemingly incapacitated raptor can be potentially dangerous. Even if you are trying to help the bird, it will be frightened and may perceive you as a threat. Raptors can be quite unpredictable. Be particularly wary of their beak and talons.

Dr. Allison Stewart, associate professor in equine internal medicine, arrived in Valdivia, Chile, in March 2011 for a three-week faculty exchange program at the Clinica Veterinario at Austral University. Bruno Cavalho, a Brazilian veterinian who is Austral's equine surgeon, served as her host.
"Bruno spent two months with us in the clinic at Auburn last summer, and Dean Boosinger needed someone to spend two weeks visiting the vet school in Chile and I, of course, was happy to oblige," said Dr. Stewart.
Below is her e-mail written while in Valdivia.
I don't think I had been here more than two days when Bruno received a call from my friend Mark in Alabama after being contacted by my very concerned family about a substantial earthquake that occurred in Chile hours before. Glad to know the Australian news is still such a sensitive source of information, as it was actually the first we had heard about the quake! My family certainly had cause for concern as 2000 people were killed in an earthquake last year in Chile and the city of Valdivia is the site of the biggest earthquake known to man, with the quake of 1960 reaching 9.5 on the Richter scale and flattening half of the city. Luckily we had not noticed this one, but apparently little tremors occur daily and occasionally the big one hits and the earth opens with land drops up to two meters!
Chile is also the home of a great chain of volcanoes. The combination of volcanic activity and plate tectonics created the Andes Mountains and the parallel fertile valleys. The volcanic soil is rich in many nutrients but very deficient in selenium. Measuring glutathione peroxidase is a daily occurrence in the lab and already I have seen several cases of selenium deficiency in horses and a llama.
Bruno has been kind enough to tour me around the last two Sundays. The first was to the coast to see the ruins of the 16th-century Spanish fort system that guards the entrance to the river and the city of Valdivia. We also went to a small festival and feasted on a plate (a small mountain may be a more appropriate term) of fresh steamed mussels and clams cooked with ham, chicken, onions, and coriander. Such a magnificent feast was only 3500 pesos or about $7!!! You can buy a huge piece of smoked fish for about $4. We are in the peak of the berry season, so the markets are full of raspberries and blueberries, and plump, sweet blackberries line the roadways and pastures.
Last Sunday we drove south to Patagonia to visit lakeside German towns resting in the shadows of snowcapped volcanoes. World-class skiing down the steep volcanoes is available almost year round. The waters are warm and many people were swimming, wind surfing, and water-skiing. So picturesque! We hiked to a waterfall and looked over the Andes at Argentina. Argentina is apparently much cheaper than Chile and great mountain resorts are just a few hours away. For morning tea we stopped and feasted on roadside plums and blackberries, and lunch was at a German restaurant – fresh grilled salmon.
I actually spent my vacation week helping Bruno in the hospital. He has several interns and students completing research projects and combined with the hospital caseload, this makes for some really long days. Most of the horses are Chilean Criollo horses – about 14 hands, Roman-nosed and muscular, looking like a cross between a Paso and a Quarter Horse. On the lush clover and rye pastures, they are prone to obesity and metabolic syndrome, and laminitis is common.
The first weekend I was here was the qualifying final for the Chilean rodeo. We went two nights as Bruno was the official veterinarian. The competitors wore traditional woven ponchos, wide-rimmed fat hats, and huge radiating-spoked spurs. A pair of horses are used to move a steer around the half-moon shaped stadium, then out into the main arena where they canter laterally beside the beast and then bump the steer into a padded wall with the horse's chest to tip him over. They are judged on the quality of the lateral canter, the speed of movement and the way in which they bumped into the steer, with one point for ramming it on the neck, two points for the chest, and four points for the hip. The crowd would roar when four points were gained or if there was a woman rider. This is the first year women were allowed to compete and they were doing exceptionally well to the delight of the crowd. The best of these horses tend to get sold to Brazil for several hundred thousand dollars.
At the clinic they also see some finer and less valuable urban draft (cart) horses. These horses pull wagons around the city and are their owner's only form of transport. They tend to arrive at the clinic not by horse trailer, but at quite a fast pace pulling their wagons. The wagons are parked in the car park, the horses brought in for examination, and the owners generally return home by foot. Unfortunately most are here for lameness, so they often make the trip by hoof, and if they are lucky, they are led beside a bicycle rather than having to pull the wagon. The wagons don't have a seat so the drivers stand perched precariously on top, ducking tree branches as they race through the streets.
The level of medicine practiced here has been impressive. Bruno is a very thorough clinician and has great skill with tendon and joint ultrasound. He collects his own bone marrow and isolates stem cells for transplanting into injured tendons and ligaments. They also have radiology and CT facilities. I am impressed in the way Bruno tries to save his clients' money. The clinic sees a large number of wounds and the owners of the urban draft horses have very little money. The interns wash and resterilize the bandage material and the dollars are carefully utilized to provide the best for the horses and their owners. Bruno also obtained a grant to help subsidize the care of these urban draft horses that are so important to the livelihood of their owners. The equine group has a very large grant aimed at developing better semen transport media, and collecting and disseminating quality semen throughout the country for people breeding heavy draft horses which are frequently used on the small 30-acre holdings where mechanized agriculture is not feasible. The equipment in the reproduction laboratory is world class.
I have been involved in the medical work-up of several patients and I have been learning a great deal from Bruno about lameness diagnostics. My Spanish is also improving. The Latin foundation of the language makes the anatomic and medical nomenclature very similar to English and I can sometimes get the gist of a regular conversation, but I have a huge way to go! Chilean Spanish also has the reputation as being the most difficult dialect to understand.
When the clinic is quiet I have been giving lectures and labs to the interns and students. On my last weekend I will present five lectures to be translated into Spanish to local equine practitioners on neonatology and metabolic syndrome. Many drugs are not available here, though some vets are able to bring medications from Brazil or Argentina. Other medications are available at prices much cheaper than the US, while some are prohibitively expensive. As far as sedation is concerned, there is ACE, xylazine, morphine, and fentanyl. It can be quite a challenge to practice without detomidine and butorphanol.
The animal science department has a herd of llamas, but none of the clinicians are trained to treat them. I am certainly no camelid expert, but again I found myself treating llamas, adding to my cases in Paris and Australia!
So far it has been a great experience. There is apparently a trip planned to Dean Tadich's sheep farm and to go riding in the foothills below the volcanoes. I haven't actually taken my week's vacation as working in the clinic has been so interesting. I am also staying at a gorgeous little two-bedroom cabin on the lake's edge surrounded by ancient towering conifers. It's nice to come home and just admire the view, though normally it is after 9:30 p.m. before we get back, but the nights have been clear and in the darkness far from the city I have a wonderful view of the star-filled southern sky. Finally I can sit on the porch and relax with a glass of wine to accompany my raspberries and smoked salmon. I certainly have no reason to complain!

Maca is a potent, ancient Peruvian superfood used by indigenous Andean societies as a source of nourishment and healing for thousands of years. To make Navitas Naturals Maca Powder, our farming partners hand-select the finest raw maca roots, which are gently dried and milled at low temperatures. This careful process preserves the complex nutrition of the raw superfood.
Maca is an herbaceous plant native to the high Andean Mountains of Bolivia and Peru. It is one of the only food plants in the world able to thrive at such a high altitude. Maca, and more specifically the root of the plant, has a long history as a superfood. The maca root was prized throughout the Incan empire for its adaptogenic-like qualities that enable it to nourish and balance the body's delicate endocrine system, and to help cope with stress. It also energizes naturally, without the jitters and crashes of caffeine, and it can aid in reproductive function, helping to balance hormones and increase fertility. Navitas Naturals Maca Powder is the raw and natural form of this special root.

5 superb!!! works just how it should :-Dmichaelsnell | 04/08/2012 | See all michaelsnell's reviews (2)fantastic product, if you have bad wireless signals (this is what you need). Ive had endless problems with internet signals via our pc and xbox, i finally discovered this amazing wireless range extender and it really does what it says. You just plug it in and wait a few secs for the light to go green and then you push the wps button, wait a min or so and then push the wps button on the router, open up your internet explorer and follow the instructions. Highly recommended!!!!!

The INEE (Inter-agency Network for Education in Emergencies) and IRC (International Rescue Committee) both contributed to the inspiration, research and development of this project.
Because of the refugee crisis in Iraq, millions of children lack the tools to elevate their educational experience. There is also a need to remedy the effects of trauma and regain a sense of identity and belonging. This project focuses on the Iraqi refugee community in Jordan.
Tessera is a puzzle/game designed to stimulate problem solving skills, encourage dialogue/communication and reestablish a sense of identity and place. The design allows the product itself to be produced using local manufacturing resources and materials.
Tessera is intended to create a ripple effect. This effect will begin with the Iraqi refugee children and stretch to the immigrant and host families as well as the community at large.
The next steps of this product would involve implementation in different refugee settings in need of the similar solutions. In new settings, the project would re-address issues of language, material and manufacturing processes.
Please see my profile for more images of Tessera Christian John

By Richard Rodge –
Editor's note: After suffering a ruptured Achilles tendon last night in a game touting the Los Angeles Lakers against the Golden State Warriors, Lakers star Kobe Bryant is projected to be out for six to nine months.
It's not all over for Kobe.
He's the Black Mamba.
Anyone who follows his career knows that Kobe is a workaholic and will put in that work to come back and walk back on that court on his own.
Yeah, the guy has a torn Achilles tendon and that's a bad injury, but look, he was never a guy to give up, never a guy to take time off, always had a high spirit and was determined. Those who think he's not coming back are crazy. He's played with a bad ankle, broken fingers, injuries that put some players out for extended periods of time. But he's going to have that surgery, with the best doctor; the best physical therapist and he'll be back on the court.
His age?
Even Lebron says, "If anybody can come back, it's the Mamba."
And those saying he's too old, age is just a number. You have guys in the NBA that are 39 and 40. Grant Hill had surgery to his ankle and is still in the NBA at 39, Kobe's 34.
Wait and see, the Mamba will be back.

"The invitations arrived well before the anticipated delivery date!! They looked fantastic, I would recommend these to anyone!!"
"Great invitation. I didn't have alot of information to print on it so it was the perfect invite. The use of three photos was a good idea because I was able to put a graduation pic from now, one from pre school and a sports picture. Loved the print style and they came quite quickly after ordering them. Good quality paper, they are not flimsy or done on photo paper. I'm very glad I chose this one."

or...what I like to think of as the day I celebrate when my Anglo brethren's ancestors had a glutonous feast in recognition of the blessing God had given them..a new land to conquer. I imagine the proud feelings they must have had at their meger first steps toward civilizing the local savages. "This is a fork" (those thankless, simpletons..gripers)
It will just be my little family (me, H, kid) as it always is..since we do not live near close family
It's actually the way I like it. I make the feast. I get control of how the feast goes. I get the left overs. (which no matter how much I make , and I have learned to make enough stuffing for a party of twelve, at least) That man will have it all gone within a few days. He is an eating machine.
Also, a nice perk..we don't have to dress up if we don't want to.
What are your plans this year?

Now that I am standing on a soap box, why am I paying per kilowatt (sp) hour? I don't live in a country that uses metric anything. A Kilowatt/hr ? Give me a break.
Actually, Gene, you are now on the same time schedule as the rest of the planet. During the growing season here in the USA, the "official" time is bumped forward one hour so as to give the business world another hour - consider farming, for example - getting out there in the early morning when the sun is barely up is MUCH more bearable than working through the heat of the afternoon. Once growing season is over, the justification for the time change goes away. No matter how inconvenient or puzzling it is to most people, there are reasons why it's a practical idea.
If it was brought back by Nixon, how come I remember doing it my whole life?
Sounds like a great campaign issue, Craig. What's your other platform points?
I'm all for things that make more time for BBQ. Or outdoor pizza for that matter!

Luxembourg is the capital of Grand Duchy from which it takes its name and is proud of its history and its rich architectural heritage. From Medieval to Gothic, palaces and cathedrals symbolise a city which has a grand history. Hire a bike and take a tour, either around the city or the woods that surround it. Luxembourg is a welcoming place.
The city of Luxembourg, capital of Grand Duchy of the same name, is divided into two parts: the "Old City", on the River Alzette, and the "New City", which extends along the Kirchberg plateau. The two metropolitan areas are linked by more than a hundred flyovers and bridges. This earned the city the name "City of Bridges". Despite being the capital of one of the smallest countries in Europe, it has many stories to tell. Cathedrals, palaces, forests, hills and rivers make Luxembourg a region of great attractions. The people of Luxembourg are also some of the richest people in the European Union. Be sure to visit the Cathedral of Our Lady (a Gothic structure built between 1613 and 1621) or the Grand Ducal Palace (of medieval splendour which is located next to the parliament building). A journey on the Petrusse Express is unforgettable, a train that follows a route between castles and ancient monuments. The nature invites cyclists to take advantage of the numerous cycle paths. The gastronomy of this small country is noted for products such as black pudding, sausages, Ardennes ham, trout, crab and a variety of cheeses. Enjoy them with the famous Moselle or Château de Beaufort national wines.

Unstable angina is a condition in which your heart doesn't get enough blood flow and oxygen. It may lead to a heart attack.
Angina is a type of chest discomfort caused by poor blood flow through the blood vessels (coronary vessels) of the heart muscle (myocardium).
Accelerating angina; New-onset angina; Angina - unstable; Progressive angina
Coronary artery disease due to atherosclerosis is the most common cause of unstable angina. Atherosclerosis is the buildup of fatty material, called plaque, along the walls of the arteries. This causes arteries to become narrowed and less flexible. The narrowing interrupts blood flow to the heart, causing chest pain.
People with unstable angina are at higher risk of having a heart attack.
Rare causes of angina are:
Risk factors for coronary artery disease include:
Symptoms of angina may include:
With stable angina, the chest pain or other symptoms only occur with a certain amount of activity or stress. The pain does not occur more often or get worse over time.
Unstable angina is chest pain that is sudden and often gets worse over a short period of time. You may be developing unstable angina if the chest pain:
Unstable angina is a warning sign that a heart attack may happen soon and needs to be treated right away. See your doctor if you have any type of chest pain.
The doctor will do a physical exam and check your blood pressure . The doctor may hear abnormal sounds, such as a heart murmur or irregular heartbeat, when listening to your chest with a stethoscope.
Tests for angina include:
Your doctor may want you to check into the hospital to get some rest, have more tests, and prevent complications.
Blood thinners (antiplatelet drugs) are used to treat and prevent unstable angina. You will receive these drugs as soon as possible if you can take them safely. Medicines include aspirin and the prescription drug clopidogrel or something similar. These medicines may be able to reduce the chance of a heart attack or the severity of a heart attack that occurs.
During an unstable angina event:
A procedure called angioplasty and stenting can often be done to open a blocked or narrowed artery
Heart bypass surgery may be done for some people. The decision to have this surgery depends on:
Unstable angina is a sign of more severe heart disease.
How well you do depends on many different things, including:
Abnormal heart rhythms and heart attacks can cause sudden death.
Unstable angina may lead to:
Seek medical attention if you have new, unexplained chest pain or pressure. If you have had angina before, call your doctor.
Call 911 if your angina pain:
Call your doctor if:
If you think you are having a heart attack, get medical treatment right away.
Some studies have shown that making a few lifestyle changes can prevent blockages from getting worse and may actually improve them. Lifestyle changes can also help prevent some angina attacks. Your doctor may tell you to:
Your doctor will also recommend that you keep other health conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and high cholesterol levels under control.
If you have one or more risk factors for heart disease, talk to your doctor about taking aspirin or other medicines to help prevent a heart attack. Aspirin therapy (75 - 325 mg a day) or drugs such as clopidogrel, ticagrelor or prasugrel may help prevent heart attacks in some people. Aspirin therapy is recommended if the benefit is likely to outweigh the risk of side effects.

Go Mobile: http://mobile.fosters.com Sticking together: Shaheen stresses budget bipartisanship at Velcro stop in Somersworth
Tuesday, December 11, 2012
SOMERSWORTH — U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen emphasized the need for bipartisanship during a scheduled stop at Velcro Industries Monday morning.
Scott Filion, president of Velcro Americas, agreed with Shaheen. Although he stated the company is relatively diversified and breaking into two new areas of business, the uncertainty surrounding the ongoing budget discussions has created certain challenges. "Over the past three or four months we've certainly seen a downturn in our military business. We absolutely understand that there are issues with troop drawbacks and other fundamental things that are naturally going to affect us, but I think some of the things that are affecting us are based on the uncertainty," Filion said. "Getting a budget resolved and getting people on both sides of the aisle to work together and move forward certainly is good not just for this business but for a lot of other businesses in New Hampshire."
In New Hampshire, Velcro maintains offices in Somersworth and Manchester — the latter of which serves as headquarters for the U.S. Thanks to a versatile range of products, the company is able to serve many markets, including medical, personal care, automotive and transportation, consumer, packaging, construction, and government and military. "We're broken up into seven different areas of business. So, we're relatively diversified," Filion stated. "We have a myriad of high-volume type customers and low-volume batch type of processes." The company's Somersworth facility, located on 242 acres just off Route 108, originally featured a 230,000-square-foot building that supported weaving, knitting, and shipping/receiving. In 2009, the facility was essentially doubled upon completion of a 200,000-square-foot expansion project that currently supports molded hooks, non-wovens, and warehousing.
The Somersworth manufacturing facility currently employs approximately 200 people from both New Hampshire and Maine. Statewide, Velcro Industries employs more than 750 people.
Tagye said Velcro Industries has also taken lessons learned from military equipment testing — such as durability and impact of certain weather conditions — and translated them into improved products for companies in the apparel market, such as L.L. Bean. |

Hearing loss can develop gradually and can become severe before anyone realizes what's happening.
Early recognition is important in getting treatment for the hearing impaired person before the loss interferes with their lifestyle. If you or a loved one displays any of these signs of hearing loss, you should have your hearing evaluated by a hearing health professional.
The high school students of Riverside Preparatory Academy in Oro Grande, California experienced a completely different chat session for the first time in their life. They had the opportunity to chat live with the crew members of the international space station and the session went on live directly from the space.
Everybody love pets especially it is a trend now of keeping dog as pet. Dog is a faithful animal and look so beautiful to keep it. Celebrities are not different from other people. They also love to have pet dogs. Sure, a lot of their dogs may be pint sized pit squeaks which look to act as a fashion accessory than to a friend.

Acute arterial occlusion of the kidney is a sudden, severe blockage of the artery that supplies blood to the kidney.
Acute renal arterial thrombosis; Renal artery embolism; Acute renal artery occlusion; Embolism - renal artery
The kidneys need a good blood supply. The main artery to the kidney is called the renal artery. Reduced blood flow through the renal artery can hurt kidney function. A complete blockage of blood flow to the kidney can often result in permanent kidney failure.
Acute arterial occlusion of the renal artery can occur after injury or trauma to the abdomen, side, or back. Blood clots that travel through the bloodstream (emboli ) can lodge in the renal artery. Pieces of plaque from the walls of the arteries can come loose (on their own or during a procedure). This debris can block the main kidney artery one or one of the smaller vessels.
The risk of renal artery blockages increases in people who have certain heart disorders which make them likely to form blood clots. These include mitral stenosis and atrial fibrillation .
A narrowing of the renal artery is called renal artery stenosis . This condition increases the risk of a sudden blockage.
You may not have symptoms when one kidney does not function because the second kidney can filter the blood. However, high blood pressure (hypertension) may come on suddenly and be difficult to control.
If your other kidney is not working fully, blockage of the renal artery may cause symptoms of acute kidney failure . Other symptoms of acute arterial occlusion of the renal artery include:
Note: There may be no pain. Pain, if it is present, usually develops suddenly.
The doctor will not be able to identify the problem with just an exam unless you have developed kidney failure.
Tests you may need include:
Often, patients do not need treatment. Blood clots may get better on their own over time.
You may have treatment to open the artery if the blockage is discovered quickly or it is affecting the only working kidney. Treatment to open the artery may include:
You may need temporary dialysis to treat acute kidney failure. Medicines to lower cholesterol may be needed if the blockage is due to clots from plaque buildup in the arteries.
Damage caused by arterial occlusion may go away. However, in most cases it is permanent.
If only one kidney is affected, the healthy kidney may take over filtering the blood and producing urine. If you have only one working kidney, arterial occlusion leads to acute kidney failure. This can develop into chronic kidney failure .
Call your health care provider if:
Get emergency medical help right away if you have symptoms of arterial occlusion and have only one working kidney.
In many cases, the disorder is not preventable. The most important way to reduce your risk is to stop smoking.
People at risk for developing blood clots may need to take anti-clotting medicines. Taking steps to control diseases related to atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) may reduce your risk.

- " If you're looking for a social hostel to meet people, this is not the place at all. Alll of the bunks in the larger rooms have curtains which seem like an asset until you realize that it completely blocks you off from meeting new people. Theres also no common room or kitchen. The noise from the club on the weekends is loud but bearable if you have earplugs. Also, you basically need to take the tube to anywhere fun or interesting. Probably wouldnt recommend. "
- 02 May 2014 Rachel Canada
- " The hostel is ok, but there is no guest kitchen. The location is pretty good. Biggest problem was the combined bathrooms/showers: only 3 per floor for quite a few people to share so there was always a queue. It also didn't help that one of them was out of order due to the lack of light. Also, the stairs and corridors are quite narrow, so it might be a struggle with a big suitecase. The bar downstairs was good, the breakfast amazing as always at St Christophers and for the price, quite a deal. "

Bladder biopsy is a procedure that involves removing a small piece of tissue from the bladder. The tissue is examined under a microscope.
Biopsy - bladder
A bladder biopsy can be done as part of a cystoscopy (telescopic examination of the inside of the bladder). A small piece of tissue or the entire abnormal area is removed and sent to the lab to be tested if:
You must sign an informed consent form before you have a bladder biopsy. In most cases, you are asked to urinate just before the procedure. You may also be asked to take an antibiotic before the procedure.
For infants and children, the preparation you can provide for this test depends on your child's age, previous experiences, and level of trust. For general information regarding how you can prepare your child, see the following topics:
There may be slight discomfort as the cystoscope (a lighted instrument used to look at the bladder) is passed through your urethra into your bladder. You will feel discomfort that is similar to a strong urge to urinate when the fluid has filled your bladder.
You may feel a pinch during the biopsy. There may be a burning sensation when the blood vessels are sealed to stop bleeding (cauterized).
After the cystoscope is removed, your urethra may be sore. You may feel a burning sensation during urination for a day or two.
If the biopsy needs to be taken from a large area, you may need general or spinal anesthesia before the procedure.
This test is most often done to check for cancer of the bladder or urethra.
The bladder wall is smooth. The bladder is of a normal size, shape, and position. There are no blockages , growths, or stones .
The presence of cancer cells indicates bladder cancer. The type of cancer can be determined from the biopsy sample.
Other abnormalities may include:
There is some risk of urinary tract infection .
There is a slight risk of excessive bleeding or rupturing of the bladder wall with the cystoscope or during biopsy.
There is also a risk that the biopsy will fail to diagnose a serious condition.
You will likely have a small amount of blood in your urine shortly after this procedure. If the bleeding continues after you urinate, contact your health care provider.
Also contact your health care provider if:
