October 24, 2011
About 60 school children built a toilet throne in front of the historic Red City Hall to highlight the significance of sanitation for the social, economic and ecological evolution of man.
The motto of the event was "The Loo-volution – No development without toilets" which formed part of the education program for development " gLOObalized World". The project aims to raise the awareness and the commitment of school children to become more involved in development cooperation.
We would like to thank all the students who participated for their outstanding effort and commitment and especially Sandy, Lea, Patricia and Weronika for the great press conference.
With your enthusiasm and many creative ideas you really help us to communicate a most neglected issue.

Watch our clip on the rally at Berlin City Hall:
GTO held student rally on world health day at Berlin's Potsdamer Platz
During the rally, which had "Save lives with toilets" as its motto, the students highlighted the significant contribution that sanitation makes towards human health and the fatal consequences stemming from the lack of sanitation for a large part of the world's population. Dressed as nurses and carrying stethoscopes, toilet bowls and painted toilet seats they emphazised their message: "Sanitation is the best preventive medicine."
State secretary of the BMZ (Ministry of economic co-operation and development) Hans-Jürgen Beerfeltz, who was attending the rally, acknowledged the civil commitment of the students and thanked the GTO.
The creative presentations were prepared by the students as part of our project "Toiletised World". The project is funded by the city of Berlin and the BMZ.
Die Uhr tickt. Bis 2015 soll die Anzahl der Menschen der Weltbevölkerung ohne Zugang zu angemessener Sanitärversorgung laut Millienumsziel der UN halbiert werden. Derzeit leben 2,6 Milliarden Menschen ohne angemessene Sanitärversorgung.
Aus diesem Anlass demonstrierten über 100 Schüler vor der Weltzeituhr auf dem Alexanderplatz gegen den sanitären Notstand. Sie präsentierten ihre Ideen, die sie gemeinsam mit der GTO im Rahmen des entwicklungspolitischen Bildungsprojektes "Klobalisierte Welt" entwickelt hatten.

From August 6 to August 8, 2010 the "Friedensfestival" took place at Berlin Alexanderplatz .
The GTO attracted publicity with our "Where would you hide?"-exhibition for two days. Many interesting conversation had been held and we have received support from over 100 (!) visitors who made a stand in our "Voices for Sanitation"-photo campaign.
We want to thank the organisers for the successful festival and also of course all our new supporters of our effort - not to forget the GTO-volunteers that made our appearance a success.
May 29, 2010
It's been 100 years since the lucky folk of Dresden have had access to a municipal water supply, something for which most of the world's population are still waiting! To mark this happy event, the Sanitation is Dignity exhibition hit the streets of central Dresden to remind people that not everybody in the world shares their good fortune. The event was a tremendouse success with yet more people "lending" their voices to the cause.
November 19, 2009
As part of World Toilet Day 2009 the GTO prepared a toilet-rally in front of Berlin's Brandenburg Gate. Together with five Berlin high schools, the GTO raised awareness for the global sanitation crisis.
September 12, 2009
The Sanitation is Dignity exhibition took to the road and made an appearance in Potsdam's railway station as part of Africa Day. This was the first time that the exhibition had been shown in a shopping centre
We'd like to thank the numerous vistors who visited the exhibition and had a photo taken or made a statement to express their outrage at the worldwide sanitation crisis. We would also like to thank the organisers of Africa Day.
July 26, 2009
The GTO took the "Where Would You Hide?" exhibition to the Unite-the-Nation Peace Festival.
The Unite-the-Nation peace Festival took place last Saturday (25. July 2009) in front of the Brandenburg Gate, and once again the GTO was there to join the party. With folklore and music the festival created an excellent atmosphere that brought together people from all strata of society, and despite the terrible weather the many visitors testified to its success. And that was before Nina Hagen had even showed up!
We would like to express our heartfelt thanks to the many visitors who demonstrated their interest in our work.
From the 30th of March until the 3rd of April we presented information on sanitation at our public exhibition WASsERLEBEN at the international trade fair and congress for water and wastewater: WASSER BERLIN.
In cooperation with AG Water from the NGO network "Forum Umwelt und Entwicklung" (Forum on Environment and Development) the German Toilet Organization provided information on the critical interrelation between sustainable sanitation and health, poverty reduction, economic growth, social development and environmental protection.
We were able to welcome an amazing array of people to our stand; teachers, students and many more. It really provided us with an excellent opportunity to present our school programme "Klobalisierte Welt" (toiletised world) which we will launch in 2009 as part of Global Learning in Germany.
Download of the abstract of "Klobalisierte Welt". Please note that the abstract is in German only.
Thanks very much to all our visitors and supporters at the fair. We really appreciated the positive feedback and interest that we received! And special thanks go to the inumerable students that brought the event to life though their curiosity and attention.
If you have questions concerning our presentation at the fair please contact us via mail with the subject line "wasserleben". For questions concerning the school programme please use the same email address, but the subject line "Klobalisierte Welt".
The ISH, which was held between the 10th and the 14th of March 2009 in Frankfurt, is the world's largest trade fair focused on the bathroom experience, building, energy, air-conditioning technology, and renewable energies.
The German Toilet Organization was invited to be a featured exhibitor with its exhibition "Where Would You Hide?" and presented its "Sanitation is Dignity" Campaign to an appreciative audience.
We were overwhelmed by the high level of attendance at our exhibition during the ISH.
Thanks to all those, who supported our work by having their picture taken at our supporter point. Your participation in our "Sanitation is Dignity" Campaign helps to break the toilet taboo and to raise awareness for the oft neglected sanitation topic.

The 19th of November was World Toilet Day and 2008 was the International Year of Sanitation.
The German Toilet Organization organised a press conference in the name of the Action Group Water* (AG Water) of the German NGO network "Forum Umwelt und Entwicklung" (Forum for Environment and Development). The conference took place in front of Berlin's central station.
With this press conference the AG Water drew attention to the world wide emergency in sanitation and to alternative waste water disposal systems.
Under the slogan "100,000 sustainable toilets as a model for the future" the AG Water handed over a policy paper to the State Secretary of the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), Mr. Erich Stather.
Toilets were the focus of the day, and since over 50 toilet bowls served as seats for this "Public Session", this was quite literally the case! The toilets represented sustainable sanitary concepts and this tied in with the sustainable toilet models that were presented.

Walked away from ECBP @ $89, EC21 @ $199...both in a shop i NEVER would expect to carry either.
EC21 for $132. But when I told my wife, she didn't seem shocked. So I may go back.
Passed on a Parker's Heritage Promise of Hope at $129.99 and didn't even ask about the EC 21 once I heard the PHC price.
Passed on some Bowman Last Millennium. Price was fine, I just may have a bottle elsewhere to pick up.
EC21 for $139.99 and that's $20 less than I've seen it in the past couple months.
Found 4 ECBP 137 on a shelf while on a mini vaca...left three.

Eligible Employees
Regular full-time and part-time employees within the ranks of office/clerical, service/maintenance, monthly salaried staff, and senior administrative positions may participate.
Eligible employees accumulate sick leave as follows:
- Regular full-time: one day per month
- Regular part-time: pro-rated based on full-time equivalency
Use of sick leave
Accumulated sick leave can be used when you are unable to work because of an illness or injury, except as otherwise authorized. Your immediate supervisor must be notified before the start of your shift, or you must comply with other established departmental procedures, if you are sick or injured and will not be reporting to work as expected. In cases where advance notice is not possible, notice should be provided as soon as possible.
Absence for doctor and dentist appointments may also be charged to sick leave. Such appointments should be scheduled for the start or end of your normal workday and should be scheduled in such a way as to minimize the amount of time spent away from the job. In the case of medical or dental appointments, approval must be obtained from the immediate supervisor in advance whenever sick leave is to be used for such purposes.
Absence from work because of illness or injury is subject to reasonable verification. Satisfactory evidence of the ability to resume work at the conclusion of a physical illness may also be required. Absences due to illness or injury that exceed accumulated sick leave will be charged to accumulated vacation or must be taken as time off without pay.
Sick leave may also be used to care for the short term medical needs of your immediate family. Temporary illnesses or medical and dental appointments of your immediate family are included. The same notification and approval procedures must be followed in these situations as for personal illnesses or appointments. Sick leave may not be used for household or non-medical purposes. Abuse of sick leave privileges will be considered "excessive absenteeism" and will be cause for disciplinary action up to and including termination.
Buy-back at Termination of Employment
The buy-back program is intended to encourage the responsible use and accumulation of sick leave days. An employee may participate in the program to the extent they qualify whenever termination of employment occurs because of voluntary retirement, voluntary resignation or a lay-off or reduction in force. Employees terminated for cause or other disciplinary reasons are not eligible to participate in the buy-back program. Follow this link to learn more about the buy-back schedule for accumulated sick leave. (Return to Benefits)

Employees who qualify for FMLA leave to care for an injured military service member can receive up to a combined total of 26 workweeks of leave during a single twelve month period. Employees may also be eligible for more leave under OFLA in certain circumstances. See Human Resources for details.
Leave may be taken intermittently, as well as in longer blocks of time off. In the case of parental leave, intermittent leave must be approved by the employee's manager.
FMLA and OFLA are similar in nature and, in some cases, both laws may apply to an employee's leave of absence. In this circumstance, the leaves will generally run concurrently, unless applicable law provides otherwise. Where both FMLA and OFLA apply, the University will follow the law most beneficial to the employee.
Employees who have worked for the University for a total of at least 12 months and at least 1,250 hours during the 12-month period preceding the leave are eligible for FMLA leave. Employees who have worked for the University for at least 180 days for an average of 25 hours per week are eligible for OFLA leave; however, the 25-hour-per-week requirement does not apply for parental leave.
FMLA and OFLA leave is unpaid leave. Employees may use accrued vacation during such leave and may be required by the University to use accrued sick leave during periods of such leave in accordance with the University's sick leave policy.
If the leave is anticipated, employees should give at least 30 days' notice in writing. If 30 days' notice is not possible, notice should be given as soon as possible under the circumstances. Oral notice must be given within 24 hours of an unanticipated emergency leave.
Employees should coordinate both with their direct supervisor for coverage purposes, as well as with the Human Resources office. A Leave of Absence Notice form, which is available
online, is generally required to be submitted to Human Resources. Additionally, the University may require medical verification from the treating health care provider. Medical verification must be provided within 15 days of the University's request for such verification. In the case of an anticipated leave, documentation should be submitted prior to the first date of absence. Additionally, employees may be required to re-certify their leave on a periodic basis for intermittent or lengthy absences. Failure to provide required written notice and supporting documentation may result in the leave not being protected under the previously stated leave laws.
Employees on medical leave for their
own serious health condition
may be required to present authorization from the attending physician in order to return to work. An employee's return may be delayed without proper documentation.
If an employee fails to return to work at the expiration of the approved leave, the University will assume that the employee has resigned.
The University will grant a leave of absence without pay to eligible employees serving in the uniformed services of the United States for military training or service in accordance with the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994. Employees may use accumulated vacation in lieu of unpaid leave. An employee who anticipates beginning a military duty leave should provide notice as far in advance as reasonable under the circumstances. The University generally expects that employees will request military leave at least ten days in advance, although the University recognizes that in some cases a ten-day notice may not be possible.
The University also complies with military leave provisions under both the
Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA)
and Oregon
Family Leave Act (OFLA)
, as applicable. These include qualifying exigency and caregiver leave.
Please see the Family/Medical Leave section or contact Human Resources for more information.
If your spouse is a member of the Armed Forces, National Guard, or Military Reserve and your spouse has been notified of an impending call or order to active duty, has been deployed, or is on leave from deployment, and you have worked an average of 20 hours per week, then you are allowed up to 14 days of unpaid leave for each deployment of your spouse as provided by Oregon law.
Employees requesting any type of Military Leave must submit a Leave of Absence Notice Form, which is available
. Supporting documentation, such as deployment orders or medical certification, may be required by the University.
Oregon state law allows for a reasonable unpaid leave of absence for eligible employees who have been victims of a crime, or are the immediate family of a crime victim, to attend criminal proceedings. The definition of a crime victim, according to the law, is someone who "has suffered financial, social, psychological, or physical harm as a result of a person felony."
Employees who have worked for the University for at least 180 days for an average of 25 hours per week are eligible for leave under this section. Leave is generally unpaid, but you may use any accrued vacation or sick leave while on this type of leave.
Any University employee who has worked an average of at least 25 hours per week for 180 days is eligible for reasonable unpaid leave to address domestic violence, harassment, sexual assault, or stalking of the employee or his or her
minor child or dependent.
Reasons for taking leave include the need to seek legal or law enforcement assistance or remedies, to seek medical treatment for or recover from injuries, to seek counseling from a licensed mental health professional, to obtain services from a victim services provider, or to relocate or secure an existing home. Leave is generally unpaid, but you may use any accrued vacation or sick leave while on this type of leave.
The University will generally require certification of the need for the leave, such as a police report, protective order or other evidence of a court proceeding, or documentation from a law enforcement officer, attorney, health care professional, member of the clergy, or victim services provider.
Notices and records related to domestic violence leave will be kept confidential as provided by applicable law.
Oregon state law allows for employees who work an average of 20 or more hours per week to use accrued paid leave in order to donate bone marrow. The length of the leave may not exceed the number of accrued leave hours or 40 hours, whichever is less, unless otherwise approved by the University. The employee should
coordinate both with their direct supervisor for coverage purposes, as well as with the Human Resources office. A "Leave of Absence Notice" form must be submitted to HR. The form is available
. Documentation may be required by Human Resources to support the leave request, including verification by a physician.
An unpaid leave of absence may be approved for personal reasons, such as public interest work that is aligned with the University's mission. Requests should be submitted to your immediate supervisor in writing as far in advance as possible, and must state the reason for and duration of the request. Personal leaves of absence are at the discretion of your department reporting officer and may be subject to approval by the Executive Vice President. Any leave extending over 30 days is subject to periodic review to determine continuation.
mployee benefits are not earned during a personal leave of absence. Please speak with Human Resources about whether group health benefits may be maintained during leave.
You will be responsible for paying in advance for any medical insurance premiums due during the absence.
Upon the conclusion of your leave, return to your position is not guaranteed unless required by state or federal law.
In the event of the death of an immediate family member, regular full-time and regular part-time employees are eligible to receive up to three consecutive days of paid bereavement leave. This time off is available only in the case of bereavement and, if granted, the Controller's Office must be provided with the name and the relationship of the deceased.
Regular full-time and part-time employees are eligible for jury duty leave. If summoned for jury duty, a copy of the subpoena must be provided to the supervisor as soon as possible.
While on jury duty, eligible employees will receive regular daily pay; employees who are not eligible for jury duty leave may attend jury duty without pay as provided by Oregon law. Employees reporting for jury duty and excused before 2 p.m. must report to work at their regular position.
If you are required to testify as a witness on behalf of the University, you will receive your regular pay, less any witness fees you receive. If you must appear in court on personal matters not covered by the University's leave of absence policy, this time may be charged to vacation, or in the absence of accrued vacation, time off without pay. Requests for such personal absences must be made with sufficient notice, so as not to disrupt the normal activities of your department.
Policies Governing all Leaves of Absence:
Failure to provide required written notice and supporting documentation may result in denial of leave or leave not being protected under applicable leave laws. "Leave of Absence Notice" forms are available online .
Outside Employment
An employee on an approved leave of absence may not work for another employer or be self-employed without prior authorization from the University.
Return to Work
If an employee fails to return to work at the expiration of the approved leave, the University will assume that the employee has resigned.

May allowed me to start and complete some delayed projects, carry on with my travel goals, continue trying to keep my heart open, flex my design muscles, a big leap in my "music career," and more milestones.
I took myself out one night to the Inwood to see Five-Year Engagement. It was a great movie, but it shook my core and made me see into a possible future. And it scared me. Thanks to good friends for keeping my head clear. The heart can take control sometimes and have me thinking dreams that can't come true. I re-focused myself on what I set out to do — being super content.
After BiSC, I realized that I would never be ready to date. So I decided to test the waters and "lightly" date. As soon as I did, something dramatic happened that forced me back into my dating hiatus.
Needless to say, I returned to my focus of not being fearful of being open. Oy.
Overwhelmed by emails everyday for job opportunities, most of which are in Dallas and other areas, not the Pacific Northwest. But I'm still trucking and applying. I also scored some interviews in Seattle. Incredibly excited!
I started a re-design project, and it is fantastic so far.
I started May off with fire! It seemed like the beginning to a series of conferences. First, there was the X-Factor audition in Greensboro, NC. While I was in town, I caught up with Daniel in Raleigh and met his posse. I also checked out the Notre Dame campus, just because. And it was beautiful. Raleigh was beautiful as well. Ironically, North Carolinans were voting for gay rights.
Speaking of inequality, in mid-May I traveled to Las Vegas for BiSC and had a great time meeting other bloggers. It was my second time visiting Las Vegas and just confirmed that Vegas is not my kind of town. If it weren't BiSC, I probably wouldn't have had anything to enjoy while I was there, especially since I don't have boobs. Like I said, I had a great time otherwise.
At the very end of May I traveled to San Francisco and hung out with Suki, Donna, and Ryan, before traveling to Portland (!!!).
So many new eats, I don't even know where to begin so I won't. Pocky in San Fran, Cheerwine in Raleigh. Foodie Weekend with Stacy was fantastic as usual. Just — ugh, yum.
X-Factor. I learned a lot from my X-Factor experience. I had a great time and it was fantastic, but I realize that a music career via a television show wasn't my thing. But I broke through a lot of fears and felt like a new version of myself.
I started reading a few books and wasn't dedicated to any of them as I was with Henrietta Lacks. I also tried reading Hunger Games after seeing the movie and I capped at page 14.
Abstinence: Every week is a test, especially after BiSC and the pool at the Flamingo. Oy. I've been incredibly cranky.
What to expect for June 2012: June is another completion month; I'll be finishing projects, clearing out stuff, traveling throughout the Northwest, adventure adventure adventure!

The popular singer talks about her lifelong struggle with psoriasis
Country singer LeAnn Rimes has two Grammy Awards, numerous platinum and gold albums, a catalog of chart-topping songs and thousands of fans. The acclaimed star also has something that's not so glamorous: severe psoriasis.
Rimes was diagnosed with the skin disease when she was only 2. Her condition worsened throughout her childhood until, at one point, she was covered with lesions on about 80 percent of her body, including her hands, feet and midsection.
At the same time in her young life, Rimes was becoming a star, recording her first album at age 10. Her second album, "Blue," went on to sell 6 million copies in the U.S. and garnered her a Grammy when she was just 13.
"As I became a performer, I went to great lengths to hide my psoriasis," says Rimes, now 26. To raise awareness about the disease, Rimes is leading a nationwide campaign, "Stop Hiding from Psoriasis," encouraging people with psoriasis to talk with their dermatologist about the impact of the disease.
She remembers times when she was so uncomfortable showing her skin that she wore two pairs of pantyhose on stage, only long dresses to award shows and jeans for appearances even in the summer heat.
Because Rimes was in the public spotlight, she endured many aggressive regimens—tar treatments, cyclosporine, methotrexate—to get clear. "Performing onstage when I was experiencing a flare was difficult," Rimes says. "My skin would crack and bleed, causing pain and discomfort."
Though she enjoyed a successful career and was admired worldwide, Rimes's self esteem and confidence suffered because of her psoriasis. She felt ashamed and lost confidence in her appearance. People often stared when Rimes was in public, not only because she was famous, but also because her psoriasis was so severe. "I wanted to say to those people, and to anyone else, 'Stop staring! Treat us like you would treat any other human being.' "
Today, Rimes says she has a "new outlook." She no longer lets psoriasis define who she is or how she feels about herself. Her confidence has increased and she is leading a more fulfilling, healthy life.
Rimes attributes her change in attitude to two things. First, she worked with her dermatologist to find an effective treatment regimen to manage her psoriasis. Second, her health is a top priority. She finds time every day to exercise, eat right and manage stress. "Treating the triggers," Rimes calls it.
She is especially diligent about dealing with stress. "Stress impacts my psoriasis. Learning to manage stress—especially in my line of work—has been key to ensuring I feel my best," Rimes says.
Though she's learned to manage her disease effectively with proper treatment and a healthy lifestyle, Rimes is aware that many people with psoriasis struggle every day with their disease.
"Psoriasis affects people both physically and emotionally," she says. "I encourage everyone with psoriasis to see a doctor. Find a treatment plan that works for you. If you are feeling isolated, reach out and ask someone for help. Remember, you're not alone."

If you're looking for a historic town with great places for shopping, then you should head to Hounslow for the weekend. Hounslow used to be an important place for trade and it became a popular stopover for travelers. However, it gained a bad reputation when the travelers going to this place became the target of bandits. It regained its regality at the end of the civil war. Because of its extensive history, there are places that bear witness to all of these. Among them is the Gunnersbury Park Estate where you can find a museum about the town. The detailed description of the town's history is Gunnersbury Park Museum. Actual artifacts from various centuries are also on display in this museum. The Kew Bridge Steam Museum also tells of the industrial side of the city. On display are the 19th century steam engines and the world's biggest beam engine known as the "Monster".
There are hotels in Hounslow that are near famous estates in Hounslow. Cheap hotels can also give you access to interesting sights of the town. In most of the discount hotels, Hounslow shopping malls are just a stone's throw away, making them perfect locations for travelers looking for a bargain. You can find these Hounslow hotels in EasyToBook.com.
Our travel experts pick the best deals for you. By entering your email address you will receive a link; by clicking this link you are added to our mailing list. You will receive unique and inspiring offers roughly once a week.

Press Release |
Federal Reserve Announces Dynamic Maps and Data on Nonprime Mortgage Loan Conditions |
April 1, 2008
The Federal Reserve System on Tuesday announced the availability of a set of dynamic maps and data that illustrate subprime and alt-A mortgage loan conditions across the United States. The maps, which are maintained by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, will display regional variation in the condition of securitized, owner-occupied subprime and alt-A mortgage loans. The maps and data can be used to assist in the identification of existing and potential foreclosure hotspots. This may assist community groups, which can mobilize resources to bring financial counseling and other resources to at-risk homeowners. Policymakers can also use the maps and data to develop plans to lessen the direct and spillover impacts that delinquencies and foreclosures may have on local economies. Local governments may use the data and maps to prioritize the expenditure of their resources for these efforts. Monthly updates are planned. See the link below for access to the new maps data: The maps show the following information for subprime and alt-A loans for each state and most of the counties and zip codes in the United States:
Accompanying data tables report further statistics for states. The maps and data are drawn from the FirstAmerican CoreLogic, LoanPerformance Loan Level Data Set. For more details, see the website's technical appendices to the map and the data tables. See the link below for additional mortgage foreclosure resources at the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. The Board's website has information and links to agencies and organizations that may provide assistance to consumers experiencing difficulty making their mortgage payments.

I really should get some sort of medal for this, if not the distinguished Medal of Freedom – at least some sort of Humanitarian Ribbon…. But once again I go out of my way to keep my readers informed of things that just piss me off royally. And I must say that hideously atrocious golf coverage will give me a wedgie quicker than a high school bully…. I mean today's coverage on the Golf Channel was literally unwatchable…. And they had the gall to talk about how beautiful, how difficult, and how masterful a layout that the Copperhead Course at Innisbrook really is!
But according to what I charted today, I'm left with the only conclusion that this has to be the longest Executive Course in America!
Here's the breakdown of shot coverage, by the hour:
Tee Shots on Par4′s and Par5′s: 0
Par3 Tee Shots: 15
Approach Shots: 7
Shots Around the Green: 7
Putts: 39
(at this point, you may be wondering to yourself "Hey, is the Copperhead Course a par3?" The answer to that is NO, it is not a par3 course. But you would never know that in the first hour of coverage…)
Tee Shots on Par4′s and Par5′s: 1 (after 1 hr and 40 minutes into the coverage – one single tee shot with driver is shown…)

(at this point in the telecast you have probably decided to make better use of your time by rearranging the sock drawer or removing the winter clothing from the closet. But the 3rd hour is always more exciting, right? Think again….)

Eric O'Neill (Phillippe) is assigned to work with renowned operative Robert Hanssen (Cooper), the sole subject of a long-term, top-secret investigation.

24's Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) and less-than-plausible story lines have always had an uneasy alliance. Every really bad day of Bauer's packs so many plot devices into 24 hours it's hard to always keep things fresh.

Great concept, low placement works best.
Phew! I can go to bed, I have found my third 'Best of the Day' design. Good concept, well executed. When you tidy, don't over-do it, the rough pastels thing is really working. I'd actually love to see a teeny single crook/character on the reverse in some form too (sneaking away at hem level!) - I love a good coda.
Much lower placement, say bottom left, and a longer, darker shadow. And for some reason I want the cow to be winking at me. I need to get out more...
I say if you must have spatter, then you must have spatter that trickles and dribbles. Who wants dry brains? Euch!
Actually, this is so wack I like the pastel freaks! And Ronnie's gone to live with ET far, far away, not the other way around. The shirt ground colour needs to not be magnolia though (not many people would look good in it) - so I guess you'd need to reduce the colour count by 1. 10/10 for randomness!

As you age, you're at increased risk of developing overactive bladder. You're also at higher risk of diseases and disorders, such as enlarged prostate and diabetes, which can contribute to other problems with bladder function. Although common among older adults, an overactive bladder isn't considered a normal part of aging.
Many people with cognitive decline — for instance, after a stroke or with Alzheimer's disease — develop an overactive bladder. Incontinence that results from situations like this can be managed with fluid schedules, timed and prompted voiding, absorbent garments, and bowel programs.
