Worries Experiencing American Muslim Women By Samer Hathout
Posted by Hasan A. Yahya, Professor of Sociology
It is not often you locate a balanced article promotions with Muslim women in United states in phrases of race relation or assimilation theories, nonetheless, I wrote several content about women on articlesbase, to clearly show relationship designs, honor-killing, polygamy and poliginy and the Prophet wives defending Islam and Muslims to give new lights on Islamic legacy as a religion and way of everyday living. I also contributed in youtube just lately rebottling some Orientals' views on Mohammad and his marriages. I found this experienced article speaks my words. So I picked to give the probability to boost mastering and comprehending.
Muslim women in The united states often encounter discrimination from their individual Muslim local community. Discrimination by Muslims principally success from ignorance about Islam and the importation of cultural attitudes that demean women. Islam is often interpreted in means that are sexist and not legitimate to the legitimate teachings of equality in the Quran and the model provided by Prophet Muhammad . Samer Hathout is a younger Muslim sociologist who comprehended Islam and Social theories in phrases of race relations and the posture of minority groups in acquiring as perfectly as in superior nations. I will leave the readers listed here to browse her fantastic article with intelligent insights which I think will get rid of lights on Islam and Muslims in normal and Muslim woman in certain. I share with her the identical thoughts, and we are the two on the identical riverside in phrases of the require to understand right before judging wrongly Muslim women. This content arrives when in France, a woman covered her head with a scarf, was questioned in the French Parliament and accused to split the policies of the constitution, which was manufactured hundreds of several years for males who employed to protect their heads with hats. Misunderstanding of Muslim legacy in employing Hijab desires a lot more content to make comprehending attainable between cultures. In actuality in my ebook: Crescentology, Principle C. of Conflict Management and Cultural Normalization, (2008) I emphasized know-how is the simple ingredient of my Principle, where comprehending follows, then appreciation then compromising and residing in peace. This article (even considered presented in September seven, 1995 in an international convention convened in China), it is nonetheless pertinent for now immediately after the shooting by Major Nidal Malik Hasan, which transpired to be an American Arab Muslim ) I think it is one of the cornerstones for Know-how and comprehending. The article was at first released at: http://www.islamfortoday.com/americanmuslimwomen.htm (Hasan A. Yahya)
The article by Samer Hathout
I am heading to focus on the worries experiencing American Muslim women. As a minority in the United States, Muslims encounter a lot of worries. First and foremost is ignorance about Islam. This ignorance leads to stereotyping, concern, and distrust. The functions of a handful of Muslim extremists are attributed to all Muslims. Muslim American citizens' loyalty to the United States is questioned. We are dehumanized and consequently quick prey for prejudice. For occasion, final April, the federal making in Oklahoma Metropolis was bombed. It is almost certainly the most devastating terrorist act to manifest on U.S. soil. A handful of hundred persons were killed, several hundred were injured. It was specifically brutal because there was a working day care centre on one of the bottom floors of this making. As shortly as the report of the bombing came out, the to start with suspects were Muslims. As shortly as the making was bombed, information reviews claimed: "Arab hunting persons were witnessed leaving the region." Basically, for the subsequent 20-4 hours, we faced harassment, we were threatened, and our life were really significantly set in hazard. Muslim faculties experienced to be closed, and specific Muslims were detained and harassed, even bodily assaulted. It wasn't till the subsequent working day, when it turned out to be a fringe minority white team of persons who experienced done it, could we type of breathe a sigh of relief that our life were not in hazard, and lastly we were in a position to mourn the victims of that bombing. An additional hazard resulting from American ignorance about Islam is the omnibus anti-terrorism legislation that President Clinton has proposed, which unfairly targets Muslims as common purveyors of terrorism.
Despite several generations in this region–, Muslims have pretty a record in the U.S.–we are nonetheless perceived as foreigners we are nonetheless perceived as persons out to destroy the United States, and when we endeavor to define ourselves, our voices are silenced. When mainstream Muslims are offered the rare option to clarify Islam, we are told that we, as average Muslims, are the minority, and that most Muslims are really violent extremists. This image of Muslims as violent extremists is perpetuated by the media which chooses to report principally damaging visuals of Islam and Muslims. This image is even further intensified by the profound ignorance of the typical American about Muslims and Islam. This ignorance, regrettably begins at a really early age–in faculties, the textbooks are biased, and have a great deal of erroneous info. And, as all minorities ought to do, American Muslims ought to struggle to make sure that our civil liberties are not trampled upon. Our achievements in getting counted as section of the American pluralism, when retaining our identity as Muslims, are often rebuffed and misunderstood. We are told, by some Muslims and non-Muslims, that we ought to pick amongst getting Muslims and getting People. Among Muslims–who range from every society on earth, as we've witnessed in this convention–American society is unfairly perceived as inherently anti-Islamic, and very little endeavor is manufactured to understand and take Muslims of the American society along with Muslims of Arab, Asian, African, or any other ethnicity. Among non-Muslims, because the U.S. was started on the basis of the separation of church and point out, the presence of any religious team in the political arena is considered with suspicion. As Muslims, we carry that burden, but we also carry the additional burden of ignorance about Islam. Our continuing striving to define ourselves as American Muslims is in actuality a really challenging jihad.
Muslim Women in The united states
As women in the United States, we often encounter gender-dependent discrimination. When this discrimination may perhaps not be as overt as in other parts of the world, or may perhaps get diverse kinds, it does exist in The united states nevertheless. Women often can't achieve their maximum opportunity in career or schooling and the media continually depicts women as sexual intercourse objects and absolutely nothing a lot more. American women's salaries are nonetheless, greenback-for-greenback, significantly less than the corresponding salaries for their male counterparts. Women who do get the job done to generate a residing nonetheless have primary responsibility for using care of the home and household with very little domestic help from their husbands. Women in positions of affect in the United States are handful of and far amongst. Not long ago we have experienced setbacks in affirmative motion, and that will only make our struggles for equality a lot more crucial.
American Muslim women encounter a lot of unique additional hurdles. We are discriminated towards by the two non-Muslims and Muslims in The united states. For occasion, a woman who wears hijab, which is the traditional head-covering, is often taunted at get the job done and on the road, and the occupations of a great deal of these women are really jeopardized–they are discriminated towards at get the job done and they are not offered careers. And, women who have on hijab in the United States are evident targets–they are clearly Muslims, and because of this they bear the brunt of the ignorance about Islam they encounter sexual harassment, and often their actual bodily security is jeopardized.
Muslims arrive from diverse backgrounds. In The united states, we have immigrant Muslims, who encounter a entire host of troubles this kind of as xenophobia. In the U.S. in new periods, there has been a escalating hostility towards immigrants, and they are often erroneously blamed for all of the socio-economic troubles that we encounter in the U.S., and are harassed because of that. And we have a huge African-American Muslim inhabitants, and they encounter additional hurdles, because getting section of a racial minority in the United States, they have experienced to offer with the troubles of racism, discrimination, segregation and the vestiges of slavery. To that, incorporate religious discrimination and gender discrimination, and these are some of the worries that are typically faced.
But in addition, Muslim women often encounter discrimination from their individual Muslim local community. Discrimination by Muslims principally success from ignorance about Islam and the importation of cultural attitudes that demean women. Islam is often interpreted in means that are sexist and not legitimate to the legitimate teachings of equality in the Quran and the model provided by Prophet Muhammad, may perhaps God's peace and blessings be upon him. Quran and hadith (the teachings of Prophet Muhammad) are taken out of context and employed to justify sure behavior.
Because Muslims are a minority in the United States making an attempt to portray a positive image of Islam, the legitimate image of the teachings of Islam, Muslims in The united states are often reluctant to handle the troubles faced by Muslim women for concern that the enemies of Islam will use this info towards us. But the ironic section is, that all people is aware of the troubles we encounter, and all people is aware of that we are the only persons not addressing them. And regrettably the media is speedy to tell us and many others of the a lot more significant kinds of abuse or discrimination that Muslim women come upon. And what we hope to achieve in this presentation is to recognize some of the troubles that we as American Muslim women encounter, and give voice to our sisters who have experienced wrongly in the name of Islam. Asifa afterwards will investigate alternatives that we as People have to endeavor to handle these concerns.
Scenario Research
Some of the most significant troubles that we American Muslim women encounter include: domestic violence, abuse of divorce and youngster custody rules, abuse of the polygamy program, and isolation and exclusion from various areas of Muslim everyday living. We are heading to deliver a handful of anecdotal situations only to illustrate the depth of the troubles. We have offered the women in the tales names to make it a lot more personable, but their identities have been transformed and their confidentiality is shielded. The tales are shared only to illustrate and give everyday living to the certain struggling of American Muslim women now. These are legitimate tales, these are actual women who have experienced. These tales were compiled by talking with Muslim local community leaders, social personnel, psychologists, lawyers, medical professionals, primarily in southern California, but through the United States. We also attained info from a issue named Sistersnet, which is an E-mail community of Muslim women through the United States and other nations. But regrettably, there is no database, there is no precise info that exists as to the frequency of any of these abuses that manifest. More analysis of these concerns is desperately desired so that we can sufficiently handle these troubles. And, when these situations may perhaps not be knowledgeable by a majority of American Muslim women, they are nevertheless significant concerns that ought to be resolved.
Now, the story of Mariam is as follows.
Mariam got married to a gentleman named Ali. They were married for several several years. All over this relationship, Ali abused Mariam. His abuse was verbal and bodily. Mariam was often beaten by her spouse. When Mariam did endeavor to discuss with her regional Muslim local community leader, she was manufactured to experience that the abuse was her fault: if she was a greater spouse, Ali would not have to beat her. She was also told not to focus on her marital troubles with other persons, and that it was crucial for her to keep married at all expenditures to protect the household. And, Ali would quotation the Quran and hadith to justify his abuse. And so Mariam getting told by her regional Muslim leader that the abuse was justified, she experienced Quran and hadith quoted in her encounter to justify it, she considered it was justified. She was abused for several years. And lastly, she could not stand it any a lot more. She feared for her everyday living, she still left. She still left her home, she still left her spouse, and sought refuge in a regional (non-Muslim) battered women's shelter, and there she acquired the help that she desired to set her everyday living back again collectively. Ali was convicted in U.S. court docket for spousal battery. When Mariam, appeared at Muslim features, she was shunned the Muslim local community wanted absolutely nothing to do with her. She was considered as a woman who experienced still left her spouse for no reason. Ali, on the other hand, when he went to Muslim features, was considered as the victim of a damaged relationship, as a victim of the U.S. legal justice program. He was greeted by the Muslim local community with open arms. Mariam found no help from the Muslim local community. She continued to go to non-Muslim agencies for help, and she lastly stopped attending Muslim features.
Mariam's story, regrettably, is not an unusual one in the United States. Victims of domestic violence have very little help from the Muslim local community, and the help they do get, when perfectly-intentioned, is often unorganized and ineffectual. The life of domestic violence victims are often in hazard, and their only recourse is to transform to non-Muslim companies who are ready to offer with this challenge–which is also a pressing challenge in the larger American culture as perfectly. So we encounter concerns of domestic violence. The story of Khadija and Fatima displays the abuse of the polygamy program in Islam.
Khadija and Fatima
Khadija married Omar under the rules of the United States and the point out in which he lived, and under Islamic regulation. Omar afterwards took a next spouse, Fatima. But, Omar and Fatima could not get married under U.S. regulation because he was currently married to Khadija, and polygamy is unlawful in the United States. So, Omar married Fatima under a–intended–Islamic tradition which consists of only a relationship proposal and an acceptance of that proposal in entrance of witnesses. Fatima, the next spouse, who was a transform to Islam, learned Islam primarily from Omar and he confident her that they did not require to be married under U.S. regulation–Islam would sufficiently shield her rights. And when this is legitimate in the theoretical perception, in the United States, we have no framework to enforce that.
Omar experienced kids by means of the two of his wives–his to start with spouse Khadija and his next spouse Fatima. Both of those marriages unsuccessful. Khadija and Omar–the to start with relationship–divorced. Omar refused to pay any help to Khadija or their kids by means of that relationship. But Khadija could get Omar to U.S. court docket and get youngster help and alimony. Now, Omar was obligated under Islamic regulation to do these points, but he refused, and as a religious minority in the U.S., not residing in an Islamic point out, Khadija experienced no recourse other than the rules of the U.S. But, fortunately, Khadija was married to Omar under U.S. regulation and could get him to court docket.
Fatima, on the other hand–when Fatima and Omar divorced–could not do that, because she was not legally married in the eyes of the U.S. courts. So, Omar shirked his tasks under Islamic regulation–did not give her anything at all, did not give their kids anything at all, even however he experienced certain her, right before the relationship, that he would. And Fatima could not do anything at all under U.S. rules because they weren't legally married. Fatima was in a position to get no financial help from Omar because there was no legal establishment compelling Omar to comply with Islamic regulation.
And subsequent is the story of Iman. When the condition is not as bodily or economically significant, it nonetheless is particularly emotionally hazardous, and it is really widespread.
Iman is a university pupil. She is really energetic in her pupil authorities on campus. She has fashioned coalitions with other pupil groups and they do relief get the job done for Bosnia, Palestine, Chechnya, and other triggers. She is on the pupil senate at her university, immediately after getting elected to it. She desires to arrange similar relief efforts in her mosque, in her regional Muslim local community and in other mosques in the region so that she can get to the larger Muslim inhabitants. She desires to post flyers and info on the partitions in her mosque. But she just cannot get to the men's portion. She can only distribute the info to women, a lot of of whom don't arrive to this mosque, because the facilities are significantly less than satisfactory or appealing. Iman does not have a brother, father, or spouse to access the men's aspect for her when she desires to get info to the Muslims. On celebration, she has approached males to request them to assistance her. Many of them ignore her and leave, but on celebration, she has experienced males assistance her to post flyers and this kind of info on the partitions. But, it is tough, because the subsequent time she goes, she just cannot locate the identical gentleman, and she has to go by means of the identical issue yet again and yet again, and she receives definitely frustrated.
She just cannot make any announcements at the mosque about the get the job done that she's performing. She desires to make an announcement immediately after the Friday prayer, but she is told she just cannot because she is a woman. She is acquiring fed up and she desires to make a change. Elections at this mosque arrive up, and she desires to run for the board because it is a good way to get included and to make modifications. But she is told she can't run for the board because she is a woman. But she is told she can be a part of the women's committee and arrange Eid carnivals for the kids and prepare iftar (split-rapid) for the duration of Ramadan. Iman, of class, is particularly frustrated. She is an activist. She has get the job done that she is performing. So she stops heading to the mosque because she is aware of that she can do a lot more by means of the non-Muslim human rights groups at her university.
As demonstrated by Iman's story, Muslim American women are on a regular basis excluded from leadership positions in our mosques and in our Islamic centers. We are authorized to participate only in sure areas — getting ready lunches, organizing Eid festivities, and activities of that type. Women are absent from instructional or religious roles, except they are instructing other women or kids. Women with Islamic know-how and abilities are not authorized to clarify the Quran to the congregation nor give lessons in Shariah. Gender segregation is imposed in most American mosques and success in unfair and unequal access to place and facilities. Women are often set in areas with very poor audio techniques, or none at all, or noisy makeshift childcare areas. They are trapped in back again rooms subsequent to the bogs, and anywhere they are set–even if it is a good facility–they nonetheless just cannot interact with the speaker and request thoughts and have their voices heard. American Muslim women are not just excluded from leadership positions in our communities, but also even excluded from mosques completely. This exclusion can be overt where we are told "you can't go to the mosque, this is a men's mosque," or it can be refined, where the facilities provided are so inadequate and the treatment we get is so horrendous that no sensible woman is heading to go back again. All of this exclusion has no basis in the teachings of Islam. It success from society and tradition.
And Muslim women also offer with other troubles, a lot of of which are culturally or ethnically dependent and not unique to Islam. There has been so significantly cultural baggage that has arrive to the U.S. with the various waves of Muslims. And some of these other troubles are not unique to Muslims, this kind of as: the normal devaluation of women–we are just witnessed as "not as good" as males, a preference for sons above daughters, women as a source of honor–and therefore shame–in the household, so we carry this horrendous burden of household honor, early relationship which often success in early being pregnant and normally an finish to a woman's instructional alternatives, double expectations which often result in unequal access to schooling–larger schooling in particular, because women are not authorized to leave their properties or to journey really far to go to universities.
These abuses that I have described are only a handful of of those people experienced by Muslim women in The united states. The abuses fluctuate in degree and variety. Once again, we increase these concerns not because we detest Islam, not because we detest Muslims, but because we–as Muslims–require to offer with the troubles. It is not ample to say that Islam is a good religion. We require to confirm it with our steps.
It is significantly widespread to see Muslims in the United States–women and males–leave Islam in escalating figures because of the treatment of women. They see Muslims as presenting no options to these troubles and they see Muslims denying that these troubles exist, and immediately after awhile it only gets to be unbearable. As Muslims it our duty to combat towards every variety of oppression, whichever variety it will take, by whichever means we can, and we can't combat oppression if we do not accept that it exists.

Agriculture provides our food. One impact on agriculture is water supply. The current projections for the Murray and southern inland areas is poor with big reductions in production in that area. Perhaps the northern regions of Australia will be better watered than now. One problem may be that much of the increased northern rainfall will be in the form of floods rather than the gentle, spread-out rains needed for cropping.
The other impacts on agriculture will be loss of arable land to the ocean and increase in pests (of all types). Loss of arable land will impact more heavily on other regions of the globe than Australia (eg. southern Vietnam, north-eastern China, river deltas such as Bangladesh, Nile, etc).
The increase in pests is more difficult to assess. We do not know what will happen to invasive plants, insects and bacterial/fungal disease as the biodiversity collapses.
For the Central Coast, we will not be too disadvantaged under current rainfall projections, but the loss of land to housing is likely to continue. It should be expected that food supply will be more difficult to source from outside the local area and we will be forced to provide more of our own food from home gardens.
Food from the ocean is most likely to collapse due to the increasing acidity of the waters, expansion of dead zones, migratory pressures, collapse of habitat and overfishing.
The following assessments indicate the relative proportion of income/effort spent in obtaining nutritious foods compared with today. Please excuse the choice of values, these represent a measure of the increased difficulty of getting food and are not based on any economic modelling. Please use with caution.
Impact type 2050 2100 2300
Low High Low High Low High
Local food supply 20% 40% higher effort needed
Food from outside
the region 30% 60% very difficult

Why are you doing what you are doing?
It's a good question for so many areas of our lives, isn't it?
Specifically today I want to write about why we homeschool. The reasons for homeschooling are as varied as the families that do it.
Some choose to homeschool because they believe the schools around them are failing the children. Some because they are afraid of what the children are exposed to. You may homeschool because your child has special needs, or your child has had bad experiences in a traditional classroom. You may want to expose your child to more and varied experiences. Maybe the arts are vitally important to one family, or crazy work schedules necessitate another straying off the regular path.
Why are you homeschooling your child? What do you hope to accomplish? What is your end goal? How will you know you have achieved what you wanted?
What your why is, should determine your how.
No one method, curriculum, philosophy, or co-op will work for everyone. And that's okay. It doesn't have to!
If you don't know what your why is though, you may waste a lot of time trying out all sorts of different things and at the end wonder, "What happened?"
By taking some time to think about these things now you save time and stress later. What is important to your family? What are your goals for your family? What makes your family uniquely you?
Most of these questions can't be answered the first time they are asked, but you should be asking them. Take some quiet time to sit and think about them. Write down your thoughts. Talk to the rest of the family and ask the questions. What do you think is important to our family? What brings you joy? We can learn so much from our kids. It's their lives we are talking about here, they should have some input!
Maybe your family will come up with something as formal as a mission statement, or as simple as a slogan, or a saying that suits you all. It could be a poem, a verse, or even a song. Something that is easy to remember and remind each other can be very helpful in keeping things on track.
Your family goals may be completely different from every other family around you. But knowing what you hope to accomplish will not only help you in determining how to homeschool, but also what extra activities you choose to put your children in, if any.
Why bother to sign up for a million team sports, if your family really prefers to spend your weekends hiking or biking in the mountains? Maybe your family's time and money would be better spent on art lessons, music lessons, climbing equipment, or whatever floats your kayak. (It is Durango, after all.) Your family maybe better served seeking out specific mentors to help extend a child's learning in a area of interest not covered in any textbook.
Homeschooling is automatically thinking outside of the box. Living this life is out of the ordinary. Make it extraordinary by knowing your whys and aligning the hows to those goals.

Making out of the uncomfortable something comfortable - Santiago, Chile
A new course started in Santiago, Chile on Wednesday April the 10th. 15 brave new students (NS) arrived to face our biggest fear, stuttering. In the room there were a lot of emotions from part of the NS and their families. They were all very uncertain of what was going to happen.
On Thursday the day started at 8 AM, we started working early to face a war against stutter and to be able to defeat it. Also a lot of graduates came back to this new course and were supporting them in every process of each of the NS, they all looked very happy and excited to keep going. The day ended and the NS could cancel their first day interviews and say their names, adresses and phone numbers, something that seems easy but for us it is something that has always seemed impossible.
On Friday, we started at 7 AM with more war and more will to keep on with the process. More graduates arrived and the room looked full of commitment and partnership from everyone. After dinner, 11 new students decided that the programme was what they were looking for and they were determined to keep working, 4 people decided the programme was not for them. Then they came back to the room and started making their first phone calls, there was a lot of emotion from the NS, they listened to their families and felt free of making revelation of the great weight they were carrying, there were a lot of tears in that moment.
On Saturday, the last day, it was turn to go into the street with the NS and make out of the uncomfortable something comfortable with hard work and perseverance, where they felt free and strong. Then everyone did their public speeches in the Plaza de Armas where there was a huge crowd very interested in listening at us. Later in the room, Rodrigo Delgado and Deyvis Escalante, programme graduates, held the friends and family session and each NS and graduate ended up sharing their experience and emotions they felt during the course. Parents also wanted to share their testimonies as parents, saying beautiful words about this great McGuire family.
I want to end by thanking Alfredo González for the great heart he has to help and support always each member of the programme, you have such a very nice job. I also want to thank Lilia Uc for always being present and worrying every step of the process of graduates and new students, she's such a great coach and in Chile people can't wait for her to come. Thanks to Deyvis Escalante, from Perú, for supporting this course, he's such a great person and companion, thank you for coming and it was great meeting you. Last but not least, thank you to Dave McGuire for creating this great family that's growing more and more.
It was such an unforgettable course with amazing people. Thanks to everyone.

Some entrepreneurs and startup businesses end up sabotaging their chances of success to juggle too many management and professional tasks.
Making your enterprise prosper is not going to be easy, or even possible when you are hell-bent on having every task that comes up handled internally.
Luckily, you don't have to; thanks to virtual assistants. Below are some web tasks to outsource to a virtual assistant so that you have more time to invest in the growth of your business.
Task #1 : Webmaster/Website Maintenance
Website maintenance is a requires regular monitoring and modifications, not to mention that being a webmaster requires a bit of technical expertise. With a qualified virtual assistant, you do not have to worry about making time out of your busy schedule to manage and maintain your website.
Task #2 : SEO/Web Marketing
Hiring a virtual assistant helps you stay ahead of the crowd when it comes to the provision of content optimized for search engines. SEO and web marketing has become more complex; requiring analysis, keyword research on, and create links among other things. This is why SEO is better left to a virtual assistant who can give it undivided attention.
Task #3 : Social Marketing/Social Media Management
Social media is active 24/7, and having to juggle between different social media platforms can prove too much for one person. If you rely heavily on social media to market your products, you definitely require a virtual assistant to manage your profiles by answering questions, posting comments and updates, and keeping discussions about your business alive.
Task #4 : Graphic / Web Design
Unless you are a wizard in graphic or web design, you should not even risk doing them yourself. Numerous outsourcing experts can do amazing work for you in designing graphics and websites. In any case, a simple task such as creating a logo requires serious time input as you will have to mull over every slight detail: font, color, size, and so forth.
Task #5 : Web and App Development
If you are not always up-to-date on the latest changes in web and app development, its best to stay away from DIY app or web development. Too many coding experts out there are willing to offer these services at very low prices, and you should exploit this opportunity. Toiling for hours trying to come up with an app will waste your valuable time and probably give you a lot of stress.
Task #6 : Content Writing
Many websites today are content-based. You can decide to take on the role of the content creator yourself, but this is a full-time job. This is why you should outsource your content writing services. You can get high quality content at relatively shorter time frames and time you will save will definitely be worth the money you will spend.
Task #7 : Email Marketing & Schedule Management Tasks
Marketing your services or products using emails can be quite mind boggling, especially when you have to do it regularly. Freeing up this time by hiring a virtual assistant who can answer to emails, among other tasks can ensure that you have more time on your hands and fewer things to worry about as you concentrate on growing your business.
Additionally, a virtual assistant can also schedule appointments and plan events on your behalf. The presence of various scheduling tools has made outsourcing scheduling of management tasks relatively easier and reliable.
Task #8 : Online Research
The web has become an ocean of information. Sometimes mining specific data can be a tedious time-consuming task. If your project requires getting the contact details of thousands of companies, you should definitely not have to spend several hours or days searching the web. There are people willing to do that for you, and for less money than you think.
Task #9 : Audio / Video Editing
If you are serious about your business, you cannot afford to spend hours seated on your computer just combing through hours of audio and visual media.
Audio/video editing is a relatively simple task for someone who knows his or her way around any decent audio/video editing software.
Task #10 : Administrative Tasks
Thanks to virtual assistants, you do not have to perform simple office tasks such as checking voicemail, moderating forums, writing reports, and tracking deadlines.
Even when you are away from the office, you do not have to worry about having to play catch-up the next time you are at the office.
Task #11 : eCommerce Tasks
It is not easy to run an eCommerce business.
As an eCommerce business owner, you need to take care of many things to be successful in the highly competitive market.
Whether you are having your own eCommerce website or you are selling products on a marketplace, there is a mountain of tasks to complete.
And if you try to do everything yourself, you might lose focus on core business activities.
A virtual eCommerce assistant is a secret weapon of many successful business owners. By hiring virtual eCommerce assistants, you save a plenty of time, which you can use in planning and executing core business activities.
There are many benefits to hiring a virtual assistant. Firstly, you do not have to deal with the issues that a typical employee requires: taxes, health benefits, insurance and so forth.
However, the pros of using a virtual assistant extend beyond the need for office space and statutory employee filings; a virtual assistant will also save you valuable time, reduce cost, and provide you with expert skills for professional tasks.

Spell is a term for the form of forces of magic, that heroes use to aid their journey. Typically heroes use spells to aid their travels, reveal hidden knowledge about their surroundings, or in combat to help their troops or bring harm to their adversaries. Before heroes can cast spells, they must possess a spell book. The spell book is where the hero records the learned spells. Spell books can be bought from Mage Guilds for 500 . They cannot be traded between heroes.
Each spell has a level which represents how difficult it is to cast. Higher level spells are usually only obtainable by heroes with higher Wisdom secondary skill. Heroes without Wisdom can only learn 1st and 2nd level spells, while Wisdom enables them to learn 3rd, 4th and 5th level spells depending on the level of the skill. When heroes visit a town with a Mage Guild, they automatically learn any unknown spells to them the guild has to offer and their wisdom rating allows them to cast. Heroes may also learn spells as they explore map locations (e.g. Shrine of Magic Incantation). Each spell belongs to one of the four schools of magic: Air, Earth, Fire, or Water, or all of them.
Heroes may learn the Air Magic, Earth Magic, Fire Magic and Water Magic secondary skills to increase the effectiveness at which they cast the spells of each school. Heroes without such expertise may cast a school's spells at a basic level (resulting in the same effect as the basic level spell). Additionally, holding an expertise in a school enables hero to cast spells at the reduced cost. The reduction depends on spell level, as can be seen from the table on the right. This cost reduction is the same regardless of whether a hero holds the skill at basic, advanced, or expert level.
|Cost reduction
|Lvl 1
|Lvl 2
|Lvl 3
|Lvl 4
|Lvl 5
Spells cost spell points to cast. A hero's maximum spell points are equal to 10 times their Knowledge skill. As a hero casts spells, their spell points are diminished. A hero cannot cast a spell costing more spell points than he or she has available. Each hero regains one spell point per day, or can be completely replenished when he or she starts a new day in a town with a mage guild or visits a magic well on the Adventure Map. Heroes with the Mysticism skill regain spell points more rapidly, heroes with the Intelligence skill get a bonus to their maximum spell points.
In the hero's spell book, spells are listed by the school and divided into combat spells and adventure spells. Combat spells can only be cast during combat while adventure spells can only be cast while wandering on the Adventure Map.

My Council
Coronavirus - latest information and service disruptions
For National Apprenticeship Week 2019, West Lindsey District Council is celebrating its own apprentices and other successful apprenticeship opportunities throughout the district.
At West Lindsey District Council, there are four apprentices working across customer services, business admin and IT. This week, the Council will be celebrating their contribution to the organisation and the value of having apprentices as part of the council.
Jason Lill, 21, is 16 months into his apprenticeship and believes being able to apply his IT skills into a real working environment has really benefitted his career prospects: "I've always wanted a career in I.T., and being at West Lindsey District Council has definitely given me a good grounding. The different training I've had here has opened up quite a large variety of areas I can go into afterwards. But I'm also interested in carrying on here."
Customer Services apprentice, Adam Thomas, said: "One of the highlights for me has been completing the Customer Service Practitioner Level qualification. It's really helped me to open my mind within the working environment. Learning whilst working in the role has really enhanced my knowledge and skills."
Emma Redwood, People and Organisational Development Manager, is pleased that the Council's apprenticeship scheme provides the opportunity for talented individuals to flourish in a working environment.
Emma said: "At West Lindsey District Council we're proud to be celebrating our successful apprenticeship scheme. We believe that investing in people with potential can be have great outcomes – not just for our apprentices but for the innovation of the council as a whole."
Keep an eye on the Council website for upcoming opportunities to apply for apprenticeships.
This week, the Council will also be celebrating the apprentices who are taking part in the Made in Gainsborough Apprenticeship scheme. Made in Gainsborough consortium comprises the Council, Gainsborough College, and major companies operating in the local area to offer a high quality engineering apprenticeship scheme.
The programme has had a successful start, with 100% of students still on the course, and those involved are working hard to ensure its continued success.
Niall Crane, One of the apprentices with Eminox, said:"With this apprenticeship, I get to do practical as well as theory, and that was the main drive for me to choose this apprenticeship. I get to be hands on in a work environment, doing a proper job while learning. My goal is to become a charter engineer one day, and this apprenticeship is creating a path for me to achieve that goal."
Alongside Eminox, the employers involved in the Made in Gainsborough group are AMP Rose, A. Schulman Ltd, Clean Tech, Hooton Engineering, Regal Beloit, Trepko and Wefco.
As well as employing Apprentices, these local businesses have also helped to design the programme and are heavily involved in promoting the scheme to local high schools to encourage young people to take up Apprenticeships in engineering.
Amanda Bouttell, Senior Project & Growth Officer at West Lindsey District Council, said: "Apprenticeships are still one of the only time tested approaches used by businesses to help develop their pipeline of talent. It's a credible option for those individuals that aren't attracted to academic routes into employment. Apprentices can now gain a degree standard education, debt free and with the likelihood of a job at the end of it!"
With the continued success of the Made in Gainsborough initiative, West Lindsey District Council is committed to tackling misconceptions around apprenticeships and is a member of the East Midlands Apprenticeship Ambassador Network that work with schools and employers to champion Apprenticeships. The Council is celebrating apprenticeships as a path to a successful and lucrative career, keeping talent in the local area.
For more information about Apprenticeships go to the National Apprenticeship website - www.apprenticeships.gov.uk.

AMM Artist Spotlight: Marcia Resnick
I took this photograph of Jean-Michel Basquiat in 1979 in the Mudd Club, a venue for music, art, film, dance and other cultural events in lower Manhattan. I taught photography by day and went out every night to CBGB's, Max's or the Mudd Club to hear music by bands which were mostly comprised of men. I was confounded by the male species and was photographing "Bad Boys," exploring the dynamic of a woman photographing men. There was a palpable electricity in the cultural milieu of NYC at that time. Rock musicians and artists alike were graduating from art schools. Painters were making films. Writers were doing performance art. Sculptors were creating installations. Artists were acting in films, making music and generally collaborating with each other. My "Bad Boys" photographs were to become my photo book "Punks, Poets and Provocateurs: NYC Bad Boys 1977-1982," published by Insight Editions in 2015.
In 1977, it was in this milieu that graffiti artist Jean-Michel Basquiat teamed up with Al Diaz, another high school student, to invent a philosophycum – a religion called SAMO. SAMO first appeared in a satirical sketch in the school newspaper, where it was introduced as a faith in which "we do all we want here on earth and then rely totally on the mercy of god on the pretense that we don't know anything." A fellow student said "Now that I found SAMO I found the truth."
Eventually, Basquiat quit school and introduced the SAMO texts to the inhabitants of the Lower East Side and the SoHo art world. He spray-painted such SAMO sayings as "SAMO as an end 2 Vinyl punkery" and "SAMO as an alternative 2 placing art with the 'radical chic' set on Daddy's $funds," all over lower Manhattan. He primarily thought himself a poet and wordsmith whose original concerns were literary. The SAMO phenomenon climaxed with his finest poems, including "The whole livery line bow like this with the big money all crushed into these feet" and "Pay for soup / Build a fort / Set that on fire."
Basquiat's biographer Phoebe Hoban wrote "the SAMO sayings were a distilled version of the themes he would repeatedly return to in his later work: racism, materialism, capitalism, pop culture, mortality." Basquiat appropriated images from books like the Bible or anatomy texts, making them part of his own invented vocabulary. He "combined and recombined these idiosyncratic symbols throughout his career: the recursive references to anatomy, black culture, television and history are his personal hieroglyphics." The SAMO project ended with the epitaph "SAMO IS DEAD" inscribed on the walls of SoHo buildings in 1979.
Basquiat's paintings exploded on canvas in 1981 when he began to establish himself as one of the best artists in the world. Wearing a new Armani suit, elegant shirt, and tie—but with bare feet—he would paint with ferocious conviction.

West Brom have reportedly offered Watford a fee of around £16m for the services of fan favourite Troy Deeney, with the English striker looking set to be exiting Vicarage Road as the January transfer window enters the twilight stages.
The 29-year-old has been attracting a lot of interest from around the Premier League this winter, with the Hornets' Captain seeing his form take a bit of a dip since the summer; and it could be that a new place to call home is the way to fix his performances.
While reports claim that new manager Javi Gracia is working on a deal to bring Barcelona winger Gerard Deulofeu into the squad, it may well be that Deeney could be used to increase funds for the move.
While West Brom's £16m bid would prove a good amount to help fund any other incoming transfers, John Percy from the Telegraph claims that the bid is still yet to be accepted, and the selling team might even ask for more money from their Premier League rivals.
Although Watford sit 'comfortably' in tenth place in England's top flight, only six points separates them from West Brom in 19th. And with that noted, Watford have only won one of their last 11 Premier League matches - and anything could happen over the course over the next few weeks.
On the other hand, should West Brom sign Deeney, Pardew will be hoping to have received the assured fire power that he desires at the Hawthorns - with a goalscorer seeming to be non existent in his team.
It could be that Deeney is the missing ingredient for a side foreign to an outright relegation battle.

Most people think of a migraine as an excruciating headache, but it is far more than that. A migraine episode is a combination of neurological symptoms, and a terrible headache is just one of its trademark symptoms. Migraine attacks can last anywhere from 4 to 72 hours and move through several stages:
- Prodromal phase – This stage shows the first signs that an attack will arise. Between 30% to 40% of people living with migraines experience the prodrome. Hours or sometimes even days before a migraine begins, you may experience irritability or changes in mood, nausea, excessive thirst, sleepiness, and a stiff neck.
- Aura phase – Experienced by 25% of migraine sufferers, an aura begins before the headache or starts along with it. Auras are a temporary neurological disturbance that can impact a person's balance, coordination, vision, speech, or sensation. You may see a flickering, jagged arc of light or a blind spot in your field of vision. You may also complain of numbness or tingling in your body, and troubles expressing thoughts.
- Attack phase – This is the headache that can last a few hours to several days. It typically affects one side of the head, but it may move from one side to the other. The migraine headache can be an unbearable throbbing sensation that is made worse by movement, light, sound or smell. It can also be accompanied by nausea or vomiting.
- Postdromal phase – This stage is sometimes referred to as the "migraine hangover." Following the severe attack of the migraine, you may feel extreme tiredness, sluggishness, confusion, or head pain that flares up when you move quickly. Often, the symptoms are the opposite of the prodromal phase. For example, if you lost your appetite at the beginning of the attack, you might be very hungry now.
Causes of Migraine Attacks Include Multiple Factors
Migraines are a condition that affects 13% of adults in the US population, yet no one knows the definite answer for what causes migraines. Medical researchers are still exploring the exact mechanism of how migraines occur. The prevailing theory was that the dilation and tightening of blood vessels make it happen; however, it was recently revealed that migraines also involve nerve pathways and chemicals in the brain, proving that it is a neurological disorder.
Researchers are also studying the physiological causes of migraine. People with migraines have reported one or more triggers that induce or worsen an attack. Some of the common triggers of a migraine episode include the following:
- Caffeine
- Stress
- Skipping meals or fasting
- Specific foods and drinks like cured meats, sweeteners, or frozen foods
- Altered sleep schedules
- Dehydration
- Medication overuse
- Weather changes
- Hormonal changes in women
- Genetics
There is also the possibility that migraines are hereditary as about 80 to 90 percent of people with migraines report having family members who also suffer from them.
If you are suffering from migraines, it is best to learn your triggers and how to work around them to avoid future attacks. Make time to track your migraine symptoms in a journal, and note your food and drink intake, monthly menstrual cycle (for women), and even the weather. If you see a pattern over time, stay away from that item or habit. Triggers vary from person to person. It is essential to understand your body and recognize how it responds to different actions and environments.
Upper Cervical Chiropractic Care Reduces Migraine Attacks
Upper cervical chiropractic care addresses the underlying cause of many reported cases of migraines – an atlas misalignment. The upper cervical spine consists of the uppermost vertebrae in the spine, and the atlas vertebra is the link between the spine and the skull.
Upper cervical chiropractors are specialists within the chiropractic field. They concentrate on this area of the neck as it is very delicate and moves more freely than the rest of the spine. Because of this, it is susceptible to misaligning, especially when there is a history of head or neck injury or constant wear and tear.
When the atlas of the spine is misaligned, it could result in several negative effects:
- A malfunction in sending and receiving of nerve signals between the brain and body, affecting your body's ability to regulate itself
- Restricted blood flow between the brain and neck
- An impeded flow of cerebrospinal fluid, which results in a disrupted circulation of nutrients in your body
Having your spine adjustments done at Kilian Chiropractic, in Aldergrove, British Columbia, will be different from any previous chiropractic experiences you might have had. You can expect several unique qualities from our care:
- Precise analysis and evaluation – We don't guess. We utilize scientific measurements and diagnostic imaging to determine the exact degree of your misalignment. We also collect detailed patient history to identify whether an injury in the neck or spine caused the misalignment.
- Gentle adjustments – Our upper cervical adjustments are mild and do not require forceful twisting or popping of the spine. Once we identify the cause of your misalignment, we can give gentle, precise corrections tailored to your case to restore your normal head-neck alignment.
- Long-lasting effects – Our adjustments are designed to hold in place for as long as possible, permitting for the maximum amount of healing to take place. We aim to stabilize your upper cervical spine for your migraine attacks to diminish and your normal healthy body to return.
If you are suffering from migraines and looking for a migraine chiropractor near Aldergrove, BC, contact us or visit our upper cervical chiropractic clinic. Reap the benefits of our gentle and natural method.

FMCG Brands need sales not soft metrics
A cursory glance at the UK's latest advertising expenditure figures will show brands are allocating more budget on digital marketing. Continually investing vast sums in online campaigns is used as a means of improving their share of voice and share of mind amongst consumers. But according to new research by AlixPartners many of these brands are throwing money down the drain: Their research from over 1,100 decision-makers in markets spanning the globe shows nearly $50bn is wasted annually by FMCG brands!
So how and why are so many organisations getting it so badly wrong?
Many marketing teams want to believe that customers value deep and meaningful relationships with their brands. They convince themselves that the visits, follows, likes, shares and comments of a small handful of individuals demonstrate the validity of this thinking. If any of this were true, why do so many brands struggle to demonstrate the tangible impact of digital marketing on increasing their products rate of sale?

5th Grader Matthew Noel will advance to the Regional Spelling Bee.
Twelve students, one from each of Frenship ISD's elementary and middle schools, gathered at the Casey Administration Building on Friday, February 2 for the FISD District Spelling Bee.

After 12 rounds of phonetic action, 5th grader Matthew Noel correctly spelled "bowler", earning him the title of 2018 FISD District Spelling Bee Champion.
"Matthew has always liked decoding and puzzles, and for him, words are another puzzle to unravel," explained Noel's mother.
"I feel so great right now!" said Noel after receiving his trophy.
"I get really excited to get on stage and spell, so I'm looking forward to doing it again at District," said Noel.

Office 365 Partner Community: A closer look at Microsoft Teams
Microsoft introduced Microsoft Teams just a few weeks ago. I read the announcement and thought, "Yeah, that's pretty cool," and then went about my workday. Over the next few days, as I heard more people talking about Microsoft Teams, I took the introductory training and installed Microsoft Teams to see it for myself. After just a few minutes of using it, I realized how powerful it is.
Microsoft Teams is a chat-based workspace in Office 365 that brings together Microsoft productivity tools in a simple, elegant, and useful way. As I began using it with my colleagues daily, I felt better connected to them. I see the same benefits using Microsoft Teams that I saw with Microsoft Lync, which changed the way I worked with people and made me more productive. In this post, a follow-on to the introduction to Microsoft Teams post by Michael Panciroli, I'll share my thoughts about how Microsoft partners can use Microsoft Teams in their customer offerings to extend customer value in Office 365.
Read the introduction to Microsoft Teams Watch the December community call about Microsoft Teams on demand
Office 365 addresses the breadth of collaboration needs across a company. Microsoft Teams gives a team instant access to everything they need for collaboration within Office 365, helping increase adoption and usage of different workloads. Chat lets the team communicate in the moment and keep everyone in the know. Access to SharePoint, OneNote, and Skype for Business is built in. Planner, Power BI, and Exchange offer additional capabilities. Office 365 Groups and Office Graph provide the foundation, and Microsoft Teams has the enterprise-level security and compliance features expected from Office 365.
Partner opportunity
Consider adding Microsoft Teams to your packaged services and managed services. Microsoft Teams leverages additional Office 365 workloads, and extends into Microsoft Azure service offerings.
Lead your customers to next-generation collaboration. Work with your Office 365 customers to turn on Microsoft Teams in the Office 365 Admin Center so that they can begin their pilots today. See the Partner resources section below for customer-ready assets for your discussions.
Microsoft Teams is available Office 365 customers with these plans:
- Business plans: Office 365 Business Essentials and Office 365 Business Premium plans
- Enterprise plans: Office 365 Enterprise E1, Office 365 Enterprise E3, and Office 365 Enterprise E5 plans

And The Rest is History (... und der Rest ist Geschichte) (Germany / USA, 1hr 28mins)
Directed by: Niko Kuehnel
Written by: Niko Kuehnel
Cast: Michael Kinzer, Ulrich Jungblut, Heike Zwetz, Isabelle Stolzenburg.
Two shady guys in dark suits. A mysterious girl out of nowhere. A gloomy figure in a parking garage. All of them looking for the same thing: A black folder from New York. And all of them seem to think that it's Tim who can lead them to it and help them understand its contents.
For a few days Tim thought, his girlfriend leaving him would be the most drastic event in his life for a while. But all of the sudden he has to discover, there is something very strange going on around him and he better figure out what it is. Or does he maybe already know more than he thinks?
Interview:CSB: Niko, thank you for joining me today.
NK: It's my pleasure.
CSB: Your film …And the Rest is History will be shown at the 2015 New York City Independent Film Festival. First, I'd like to ask you to tell us a little about your background. Where are you from and how did you get into film?
NK: I'm from a city called Mainz, and I started out with filmmaking during my time at university where I did film studies. I actually ended up just getting together with a few friends, and we started making short films. We made our first short film back in 2004, and kind of just worked our way up from there. Once we graduated, we decided to try longer projects, and then we started making feature films. …And the Rest is History is the third feature film we've made so far.
CSB: Can you tell us a little about what the indie film scene is like in Germany? What is the biggest challenge for independent filmmakers?
NK: The thing about the indie film scene in Germany is that it is not as clear-cut as it would be in the US because we don't have the big studio system that you guys have. Even a large project here would end up with a budget that is indie-standard in the USA. At the same time, starting out as a filmmaker, it's still hard to find money and to find someone to finance your movies. So, basically, what we've done so far is that we just finance the films ourselves and we don't really get any money from anywhere. We had the manpower, and we had enough people to do it, so we just started trying to make the movies and luckily, managed to make it happen. The three films that we have made so far are very, very independent, they don't have anything to do with anyone who gave us money to make them.
The biggest challenges for aspiring filmmakers would be the same as in the US, with the difference that because there is not as much money over here to make films, funders and production companies who give you money are even more worried about the project. They are very distinct about the work, so it's a very long process to find someone to finance a movie. And I think mostly, for young filmmakers, this happens through TV stations, more than it would be in the cinemas.
CSB: Where did you get the idea for the script of …And the Rest is History? Why did you choose to shoot part of it in the United States?
NK: The scene that we shot in New York was the very first scene we shot for the film. I happened to be traveling in New York, and a friend of mine, who is the actor in that scene, lived in New York at that time. And I decided, well, when I am in New York, I'd really like to shoot something, so I'll bring my camera, and make something happen. Either, something for a short film, or as it turned out, a scene that I can work into a bigger project.
So my basic idea was, I'll write a scene that I can later incorporate into a larger script, and this is exactly what I did. We shot the scene, I came back, edited it. We actually only then started working on the other scenes for the rest of the film over here, which kind of went awry a little bit, because I had an actor drop out and then some people didn't have time who I actually wanted, so I had to re-write the script and take out some characters, because I didn't have the actors for the characters anymore. The whole script somewhat changed around from beginning to the end. And then in the end, I'm pretty sure the film ended up being better than it would have originally been had we gone with the first draft of the script.
CSB: Well that was good luck! How did you find your main actors then?
NK: I've been friends with the main actors for years. Michael, who is the lead actor in the film, I've known him since 2003. We went to university together, and he'd already done a lot of stage acting before university, and then, because he liked acting, and I wanted to try my hand at filmmaking, he was the natural choice for being in the movie. So we have been making films together for more than a decade now. The lead actress in the film was his girlfriend at the time, that's how I knew her. But she had been in a few of my films before. The other lead actor, Uli, who played the nerdy guy with the glasses on, he's actually a good friend of mine, who I met through playing flag football at the university.
CSB: You already mentioned that your film kind of took on this mockumentary style. What led you to the decision to include little snippets of interviews with your characters throughout?
NK: I've always been a big fan of mockumentaries. I really got into it because I like the comedy aspect, as well as playing around with reality, or fake reality. We've done one short film, which is a mockumentary that talks about the history of our hometown. And I've kind of been influenced … because I'm working for a TV station here in Germany … as a news-cutter. And working in real-life events, while at the same time working in fictional films, kind of, made me feel like I wanted to put the two together.
If [the film] was a real story happening in real life, you could very well have an interesting documentary on it, because it's something that would, in fact, make history. This film requires some bits of technical information, which is kind of boring to tell, but I still wanted to put it in there to make it realistic. I felt it was a good way to have people talk about it, to sit down and speak into the camera, as opposed to have two characters sit down and have them talk about it amongst themselves as part of the movie. It's easier to have them talk into the camera, because they can quickly give a lot of details and facts in 30 seconds, less than a minute—instead of a scene that you would have to write, that you don't want to be boring. In a way, it was the easy way out, combined with something I like to do anyway.
CSB: Will you be attending the 2015 NYC Independent Film Festival or the screening of your film?
NK: Yes, my director of photography and I actually booked our flight to New York. We thought, since it's playing at a festival and it's the first time one of our films is playing in the US, we should take the chance and come to New York. We'll definitely go to our screening, and then try to catch a few other films, there's quite a few in the program that look very interesting.
CSB: Thank you for taking the time Niko. We look forward to seeing you in New York with your film …And the Rest is History.
NK: We're thrilled to be there. We are very much looking forward to it.

I've been using my E61i again for business and it's been acting up today, probably because it's been consigned to the drawer for two weeks whilst I've been using the E71. I'm not a huge fan of call waiting, as I'd rather deal with the call in hand quicker and then deal with the next item, a sort of refusal to 'touch' things twice.
Anyway, call waiting isn't on, so therefore I don't expect to hear beeps whilst on a call, unless, it s voicemail being left or an sms arriving. But today I've had a couple of the message arriving beeps during a call, only for me to check when the call has ended for the message to find nothing there, so it's a bit of a phantom alert. I've no idea what's going on, but if it continues, the device will get a hard reset *#7370# to wipe it clean and start again, it's a tad annoying to say the least.

The aim of this randomised trial was to assess the effect of urethral infusion of atracurium besylate in dogs and cats with signs of urinary retention secondary to lesions affecting spinal cord segments T3–L3. Eighteen dogs and six cats with urinary retention were examined and scored before treatment on the degree of difficulty of inducing bladder emptying by manual bladder compression. Animals were subsequently treated in a blinded fashion by the same operator with urethral infusion of 2–4 ml of either a solution of 0.5 mg/ml of atracurium (treatment group) or placebo (control group) and, after five minutes, a second attempt was made to induce bladder emptying by manual compression and a post-treatment score assigned. Pretreatment scores did not differ between the treatment and control groups (5.6±0.8 v 6.2±0.7, respectively; P=0.22); however, post-treatment scores were significantly lower in the treatment group compared with the control group (2.9±0.4 v 5.9±0.3; P<0.05). Urethral infusion of atracurium facilitates manual bladder expression in dogs and cats with urinary retention secondary to spinal cord injuries. No side effects were recognised.

Heading into the 2017 season, Kerry Coombs will have an additional title on his coaching résumé.
Ohio State announced Thursday that Coombs has been promoted to assistant coordinator, defense, by Urban Meyer. Coombs will retain his titles of special teams coordinator and cornerbacks coach as well.
Greg Schiano will remain in his role as defensive coordinator.
"Kerry Coombs is absolutely deserving of this promotion to assistant coordinator, defense," the head coach said in a statement. "He is an outstanding coach, instructor and mentor to the young men in this program. He is one of the best recruiters in the nation. He is incredibly loyal, and we at Ohio State are very fortunate that he loves this school and loves being a Buckeye."
Coombs will be entering his sixth season with the Buckeyes, one of two assistants, the other being wide receivers coach Zach Smith, who have been with Meyer all five of his seasons in Columbus.
The past two years, three of Coombs' corners — Marshon Lattimore and Gareon Conley in 2017, Eli Apple in 2016 — have been selected in the first round of the NFL draft. Another, Bradley Roby, was taken in the first round of the 2014 draft.
