Hutchens, M. P., Traystman, R. J., Fujiyoshi, T., Nakayama, S., Herson, P. S. Normothermic Cardiac Arrest and Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation: A Mouse Model of Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury. J. Vis. Exp. (54), e3116, doi:10.3791/3116 (2011).
Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is a common, highly lethal, complication of critical illness which has a high mortality1-4 and which is most frequently caused by whole-body hypoperfusion.5,6 Successful reproduction of whole-body hypoperfusion in rodent models has been fraught with difficulty.7-9,9,10 Models which employ focal ischemia have repeatedly demonstrated results which do not translate to the clinical setting, and larger animal models which allow for whole body hypoperfusion lack access to the full toolset of genetic manipulation possible in the mouse.11,12 However, in recent years a mouse model of cardiac arrest and cardiopulmonary resuscitation has emerged which can be adapted to model AKI.13 This model reliably reproduces physiologic, functional, anatomic, and histologic outcomes seen in clinical AKI, is rapidly repeatable, and offers all of the significant advantages of a murine surgical model, including access to genetic manipulative techniques, low cost relative to large animals, and ease of use. Our group has developed extensive experience with use of this model to assess a number of organ-specific outcomes in AKI.14,15
All procedures described are conducted in accordance with the National Institutes of Health guidelines for the care and use of animals in research and all animal protocols were approved by the Oregon Health & Science University Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee.
1. Surgical Preparation
2. Cardiac Arrest
3. Exsanguination/Perfusion-Fixation and Kidney Harvest
4. Representative Results:
When CA is induced, mean arterial pressure (MAP) and regional renal blood flow (RRBCF) drop to near zero and remain stable until resuscitation begins (Figure 1). 24h after CA/CPR, serum indices of renal function (blood urea nitrogen, BUN and creatinine) are significantly elevated relative to sham-operated animals. AST/ALT are also elevated, offering evidence of profound whole-body ischemia (Figure 2). Neutrophil-gelatinase associated lipocalin (NGAL), a sensitive indicator of renal ischemic injury is massively upregulated 24h after CA/CPR (Figure 3). Finally, photomicrographs demonstrate the patchy, medullary necrosis typical of ischemic renal injury with thinning of tubular epithelium and luminal filling on hematoxylin and eosin stain (Figure 4, panel a) and extensive cell death in medullary tubular epithelium when stained with fluoro-jade B (Figure 4, panel b).
Figure 1. Cardiac arrest induces instant loss of perfusion pressure, represented here as mean arterial pressure (MAP) measured in the femoral artery, resulting in near-complete cessation of regional renal cortical blood flow (RRCBF) throughout the period of cardiac arrest (shaded area). Resuscitation with chest compressions and epinephrine returns MAP to normal and RRCBF steadily rises in the post resuscitation period. Reprinted with permission from14.
Figure 2. 24h postprocedure, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), serum creatinine, and the extent of tubular cell death are all significantly elevated in animals having undergone CA/CPR as compared with animals treated with a sham procedure. CA/CPR induces a pan-organismal ischemic insult, here evidenced by massive elevation of liver-function enzymes alanine amino transferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) in CA/CPR mice as compared with sham-treated animals.
Figure 3. Western blot performed using polyclonal antibody to neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), a sensitive indicator of renal ischemic injury. Urine samples were obtained immediately prior to ("pre") and 24h after ("24h") CA/CPR in 4 animals (labeled a, b, c, and d above). NGAL is massively upregulated in mouse urine after CA/CPR. Reprinted with permission from14.
Figure 4. A) Hematoxylin and eosin stain of a short axis hilar section of renal tissue 24h after CA/CPR. There is patchy but clear damage to medullary and corticomedullary tubules with tubular plugging. Arrows point to damaged tubules with swollen, pyknotic nuclei at the corticomedullary junction. B) Flouro-jade B stain of the same region in the same animal, 24h after CA/CPR. Fluoro-jade B stains necrotic cells bright green, showing patchy corticomedullary tubular necrosis. Arrows point to brightly stained damaged tubules at the corticomedullary junction. These findings are substantially similar to renal biopsy findings from humans who develop AKI, and unlike those produced by other animal models of AKI.

The normothermic model of cardiac arrest and cardiopulmonary resuscitation in the mouse offers multiple avenues of evaluation in a model which replicates the pathophysiology and morphology of the most common clinical cause of AKI, whole-body hypoperfusion. Hypothesis testing may be aided by access to a panoply of genetic manipulation techniques and the well-understood and characterized anatomy and physiology of the laboratory mouse.
As described here, survival in experienced hands is 80%. Although the surgical preparation and post-arrest care are straightforward, the actual resuscitation of an arrested mouse is a challenging surgical skill which requires significant practice. In our experience, successful resuscitations become the norm after about the first 30-50 attempts at resuscitating individual animals by an inexperienced surgeon, and consistent injury and resuscitation take additional practice. In particular, during the early phase of learning the technique (i.e., for the first 20 animals), meaningful survival is unlikely, and any survivors should be euthanized immediately after resuscitation to prevent unecessary distress. After early training, when survivors demonstrate vigorous cardiac recovery in the minutes following resuscitation, it is appropriate to continue surviving animals through the 15 minute post-ROSC mark. Animals that demonstrate vigorous spontaneous respiratory efforts by that point will likely survive 24h with appropriate recovery. This practice phase should be specifically addressed in IACUC protocols. The most difficult skill to learn is the chest compressions themselves as it is difficult to deliver compressions at the needed rate without increasing pressure to injurious levels. Mechanical resuscitators have been devised and used in our lab and others16 but to date no mechanical resuscitator for the mouse has produced acceptable survival.
There are some limitations to this model. First, no mouse model can fully model human physiology, and results must be interpreted with respect for interspecies differences. In particular, the mouse heart is robust; we achieve 80% survival at 8 minutes of cardiac arrest, but in clinical studies human survival is less than 50% even with resuscitation beginning 2-3 minutes after arrest.17 The small size of the mouse renders procedures technically exacting, and there is a significant learning curve, particularly for chest compressions. Second, in this protocol, drug doses and ventilator settings are not indexed to animal weight. This is because we use only animals in the 20-25 g weight range in order to minimize the effect of equipment size. For example, we use a 22 gauge catheter to intubate the trachea; the seal obtained is not the same in a 30 g mouse as it is in a 25 g mouse and the increased gas leak may be physiologically significant. However, the use of animals in a defined weight range does not faithfully reproduce the variety of body classes that are subject to clinical ischemia-reperfusion injury. Third, the no-flow state may not faithfully replicate results from low-flow states. In particular, temperature gradients may develop within the mouse during no-flow. To minimize the effect (if any) of gradients on results, temperature is measured near the organ of interest. Finally, because of early data from our lab which confirmed significant metabolic acidosis in the postarrest period, we hyperventilate during resuscitation. As recent data indicate that hyperventilation during CPR is deleterious,18,19 it is possible that this practice reduces survival in the model. Many alternatives models for whole-body ischemia reperfusion injury exist. For example, CA/CPR has been described in dogs,20 rabbits,21 lambs,22 pigs,23 rats,16 and arctic ground squirrels.24
We have shown that postoperative renal function may be evaluated by a number of chemical, immunological, or histological techniques at 24 hours. Animals can be survived for longer than 24h, however, and the transient nature of AKI makes this model an attractive one to use for investigation of mechanisms of recovery and/or permanent injury. The injury itself is titratable by altering the parameters of time and temperature during CA. Longer arrests and maintenance of higher temperatures produce greater injury (but adversely effect survival). As we have shown with the included liver function data, other organ systems are also affected and may be investigated using adaptations of this model, however, significant effort may be required to optimize experimental conditions for the organ system of interest.

I would absolutely recommend this home to anyone traveling to South Lake Tahoe! (as would everyone else in my group of 9 people who stayed there.) The home was beautiful and spacious. Everyone slept very comfortably, and with 3 bathrooms, bathroom time was never an issue.
Also, the rooftop grill and hot tub were a huge hit with our group. The mountain views from up on the roof were wonderful, as were the views of the water canals out back. The kitchen was ideal for our group, with many people who enjoyed cooking together at the same time (it was spacious for all of us to work together.) The microwave and oven were a bit confusing with way more buttons than necessary, but we managed.
The beds were comfy, and each bedroom had its own privacy. It was also nice having a washer and dryer at our disposal. Check-in and check-out were as easy as can be. Upon arrival, we just had to enter a code to a lock box, which had the key to the home. It was very smooth and simple.
All in all, if/when we return to South Lake Tahoe, we definitely would stay at this home again! (I wish we were rich enough to buy it! We would go there multiple times per year if we owned this home!) Thank you for a fantastic stay!
Property is great. We had enough room for three 29ft boats. Great neighbors. The only issue is the wood floors. Very slick. Slipped on stairs fell about six steps to landing. Ouch. Had one issue out side. Called management and they resolved it within an hour. Plan to book it next year.
We had a wonderful time at this property. We traveled with 4 couples and a baby and there was plenty of room. The house was very clean. We also had everything we needed in the very large kitchen so that we could prepare meals together. The only item we were missing was a coffee pot, so I emailed & one was brought to our door right away. We were also so close to everything. We hiked & kayaked around Emerald Bay & went horseback riding & jet skiing in Zephyr Cove. We can't wait to start planning another trip!
The home was nice and was a good fit for the size of our group. Beds were comfortable and it had great views and loved the roof top deck. The BBQ is no longer on the roof top but now on the back deck.
I was a bit disappointed though and do not know if we would stay in this property again. Cleanliness was ok, we found mold in the downstairs shower. Two-by-fours are leveling one side of the pool table and are a tripping hazard. The pool table is featured in the picture at an angle that would make it easier to play, when arriving it was not in that position and made it hard to hit the balls without hitting the wall.
As advertised under amenities was satellite/ cable TV. We called the management after we checked in because we thought the cable TV was not working, they responded by telling us someone will call back. When we did not hear from them that day we called again the next and they told us that the owner was working on getting Satellite/ cable, we felt like this was false advertising on behalf of the management company. We also had issues accessing the pool, spa, and beach because the management failed to let the homeowners association know we had rented the property for a week. Thank goodness the homeowners association was kind and gave us passes for one day.
Overall I had a great time with my family but will probably look for another rental in the future.
The company that handles the reservation was very professional, and set-up and payment was easy while checking in was done very smoothly. The space is gorgeous and the views from the property is amazing. All the essentials that we needed were available and all the beds and rooms were in great condition. The only downside if we had to be picky is that the hot tub didn't seem to function properly. We were not able to increase the temperature which stayed luke warm. I definitely would recommend this property as we had an amazing weekend staying here. Thanks Lido Keys.
The house was great! It was clean and warm and wonderful. Everything was as it said in the description. We were 6 late 20 somethings looking to unwind and get away. This house was in the perfect location and close to everything.
Note: There was only one towel per person. When using the hot tub daily and bathing, one was not enough. Bring an extra!

HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
A smarter way to print for busy small business owners, combining speedy printing with scanning and copying, making it easier to produce high quality documents and images at a touch of a button.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
I've had a multifunction printer in the office going on 10 years now. It was a neat bit of kit back in the day -- print, copy, scan, fax -- when printing over WiFi felt a bit like magic. It's seen better days though and an upgrade's well overdue. This HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 looks like it ticks all the same boxes: print, copy, scan, and fax. (Really? Does anyone fax anything any more? I guess it's good to know the facility's there, just in case.) Printing over WiFi is more-or- less standard these days.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
As a freelance writer who is always on the go, I like my technology to be both efficient and effective so I can do my job well. The HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 Inkjet Printer ticks all the boxes in terms of form factor, performance and user interface.
Windows 10 for Business / Dell XPS 13
I'd happily recommend this touchscreen laptop and Windows 10 as a great way to get serious work done at a desk or on the road.
Windows 10 / HP Spectre x360
Ultimately, I think the Windows 10 environment is excellent for me as it caters for so many different uses. The inclusion of the Xbox app is also great for when you need some downtime too!
Windows 10 / Lenovo Yoga 910
For me, the Xbox Play Anywhere is a great new feature as it allows you to play your current Xbox games with higher resolutions and better graphics without forking out extra cash for another copy. Although available titles are still scarce, but I'm sure it will grow in time.

"I'm tired." Kagome announced with a yawn, opening the door and climbing out of her car.
"Are you?" Sango asked weakly, fighting the nausea as she pulled herself to a shaky stand. She paused briefly to remove her fingernails from the leather upholstery she had dug them into during the ride.
"I wonder why Rin didn't want to take a ride with us this morning." Kagome said curiously, slinging her bag over her shoulder.
"Yeah, I wonder." Sango said darkly, silently cursing the other girl for taking the bus to school that morning and leaving her alone to ride with Kagome. Why she had taken the bus though she had no idea…"Hey, Kagome."
"Tomorrow, why don't I drive?"
Kagome shot Sango a strange look.
Oh no.
She wrinkled her nose the way she always did when she was confused.
'Here it comes…' Sango chanted in her head.
"Why?" Kagome asked.
"Err… um. Well… I…" Sango put her fingers in her hair, and looked at the ground. "How do I…?"
Out of the corner of her eye, Kagome caught a flash of silver. She turned around jerkily and spotted her English partner walking through the backdoors of the high school, surrounded by his usual cloud of smoke. "Oh, actually Sango, do you mind if I meet you during lunch? There's something I have to take care of."
"Uh… sure?"
"Thanks! See you!"
"Yeah…" Sango said, looking at her watch. They had 10 minutes until they needed to get to class. She looked again and watched, baffled as Kagome scampered away and entered the school through the back entrance.
"What was that?" She asked herself before entering through the doors of the school.
A burst of laughter caused her to turn her head to the right, and she stiffened, if only for a second, when she spotted Miroku surrounded by his usual crowd of friends, laughing as they hung casually in the hall. They were surrounded by their usual gang of pretty girls, the ringleader of whom seemed to be throwing herself at Miroku…
"Hey, Sango." A voice to her left called to her.
"Headed towards your locker?" he asked, smiling brightly when he got to her.
"Yeah." Sango said and started to walk with him out of habit.
"Did you get the math last night?"
Sango made a face. "Not really…"
He smiled at her and put his arm around her shoulders. "Good." He answered. "Me neither."
"Hey! Wait up!"
The lank, chain-clad figure jerked to a stop in the too-white hall, cigarette half-way to his lips. He did - not - believe it.
The person behind him must have been confused. Very, very, very, deeply confused. That was the only explanation.
"Hi." The breathy voice came again, this time from his elbow. He stared incredulously at the floor. There was no way he was actually recognizing this voice right now. No way.
"How are you?"
He shut his eyes. 'Jesus. How dense is she?' He demanded to no one in particular, finally turning to look at her face.
She stared at him.
Yup. This was her.
"I said 'how are you'." She repeated.
How was he? Well, he wanted to strangle her for starters. Shock was the only thing stopping him at the moment. Really. As soon as the shock wore off she'd be dead. Let her try to follow him around like a mother-less puppy then.
But the shock did ware off. And, to his greatly conflicted frustration, nothing happened…
Kagome found herself stuck in the same awkward stare-down she been engaged in the first time she'd "spoken" with Inuyasha. "I said 'how are you'." She repeated nervously. Inuyasha continued to stare.
Was it her hair? Was she wearing something offensive? She glanced down at her dark blue, boat-neck shirt. It hadn't been imprinted with a swastika or anything since the last time she'd looked at it, so… what was the deal?
"Are you okay?" She reached out him.
Her fingertips had barely skimmed the shape of his bare-skinned arm before he was miles away from her. Or, it seemed like miles at least. All he had really done was jerk away from her sharply once their skin had made contact. She stared pulled her hand back, slightly hurt, while his golden eyes smoldered a thousand warnings. "Sorry." She said, taking a step back herself. Suddenly, she regretted even following after him in the first place.
The sharpened look of hurt that filtered through her pretty blue eyes was the only thing that stopped him from roughly shoving her backwards and striding away from her down the hall to escape.
"Sorry." She said, her voice so different from the sugar-coated ray of sunshine it always seemed to be whenever she'd approached him before. He was still amazed that she'd tried to touch him. It had been so long since anybody had… Though they'd barely made contact, the places where her fingertips had skimmed him seemed to burn uncomfortably. He stopped himself from rubbing his other hand over them. The girl took a step away from him defensively and, despite himself, he felt suddenly guilty. So he didn't shove her. Instead, he took a deep drag from the end of his cigarette and let himself relax. "What do you want?" he asked, his voice not coming out nearly close to the tone he had wanted it to.
Still, it seemed to show her that he was at least a little sorry. She let her guard down slightly. "I just wanted to ask how you got along with the questions yesterday."
She thought he'd read the questions? He didn't even know where he'd left them…
He gave her a look that clearly implied: no, he definitely had not read over the questions last night.
"Oh." She said. So much for this being a walk in the park. "Well, that's okay."
They lapsed into silence.
"Walk to class with me?" She said.
What? Inuyasha thought to himself, so confused and frustrated that for a moment he wondered if this whole thing was all some sort of very demented and fucked up alternate-version of reality.
"C'mon, we can go over the questions there." She said, and started down the hall.
He watched her start to walk away. Five steps without him and she turned around to find him still rooted to the same spot. "Aren't you coming?" She asked.
He continued to look at her as if she had sprouted extra heads from the palms of her hands before finally turning around and walking the other way. "I'm not going to class." He answered her.
"What? But you cut yesterday's class too! Won't you get into trouble?"
"I know the teacher." Inuyasha said over his shoulder. "And he won't give a damn." 'He's probably happier that I'm not there…'
Kagome stared after him bewildered, before the bell ringing in her head made her realize that she was about to be late for her English class. Again. Sensei Sesshomaru's icy gold eyes cut into her head and had her running for room 201. Or… was it 203?
"Rin!" Sango pressed the cell phone against her ear as she tried to undo the cheap Wallmart padlock that sealed everybody – including herself – away from her belongings. "What the heck was up with your disappearing stunt this morning?" She asked as she twisted the jammed spiral around 3 and then doubled back to 42.
"Sorry." Rin's voice sun into her ear. "How was your morning?"
"Oh it was fine, except for the fact that we almost crashed into a 92 year old woman on the way!"
Rin giggled through the phone.
"What are you laughing at?" Sango asked, finally yanking the lock open.
"Sorry." Rin managed through a fit of giggles. "It's just- it seems so funny once I'm not in the car anymore."
"Yeah well, laugh now 'cause you're never going to do that to me again!" Sango said, pulling out a massive pile of books.
"Yes ma'am!" Rin answered, still giggling.
"Alright, I've got class in a minute. See you in P.E.?"
"Yeah." Rin answered, voice bubbling.
"Will you stop laughing?" Sango smiled.
"Uh-huh!" She could practically see the younger girl's grin. "See 'ya!"
"See ya." Sango flipped her phone shut and slipped it into her bag, pulling a big green book out of the moshpit of texts. She hadn't meant to cause an avalanche of textbooks. "Ah!" She threw her hands into the locker to try to hold it back, but they ended up just spilling over her arms, scraping at her knuckles and battering her hands. When the chaos finally lulled, she was standing in a pile of papers and plastic. People in the hallway snickered as the passed and Sango shot them hard looks. Great. She knelt down, ignoring her reddened knuckles and started stacking hurriedly, not wanting to be late.
She hesitated when someone else's hand reached down and picked up her chemistry book, offering it to her.
She looked up and felt herself grow heavy when she met Miroku's dark violet eyes. He smiled at her as he offered her the book. She took it from him curtly and resumed her work, not looking at him.
"Don't talk to me." She answered. She suddenly felt his hand close over her shoulder and she yanked away so hard that she almost fell over. "And don't touch me."
He stared at her and she glared back, unyielding. She was not going to give into him. Not again.
"Look, I just want to talk to you." Miroku confessed as she stood, the heavy pile of books in her hand. "Let me get that for you." He added absently, reaching for the locker door.
"I can do it." She said, her cutting tone stopping him mid-reach. His hand fell back to his side as she moved to nudge the door aside. She cursed when the books started to fall over again. Miroku caught them deftly with his perfect reflexes, and she almost wished that he had just let them fall.
"Thanks." She said automatically before she could stop herself.
She hated how easily they fell back into that – the way they used to be. When talking came easy, along with their laughter and smiles and… she shook it out of her head. She shouldn't have ever gone out with Miroku Hoshima, ever. She pushed the stack of books into her locker and slammed it shut, slinging her bag over her shoulder. "I don't want to talk to you." She said. Lie. And at the same time not…
"Why?" Miroku challenged, stepping in front of her, blocking her path. She made the mistake of catching his eyes, that too familiar shade of blue and lavender, with what was seemingly the perfect amount of sensitivity lurking inside them. She steeled herself. How many other girls had been caught under that dark violet sway?
"Because I have nothing left to say to you." She ground out and moved around him.
"Sango." Miroku turned, and his hand shot out like lightning to close over her shoulder before she got away. She stopped, wavering. She was so tired of this… "Please." He said. The word was simple, straightforward and short. It was not desperate or pleading, but firm and resilient - everything that she never was when it came to him.
"You never leave me alone, do you?" She asked, meaning to make her voice like venom, and hating it when she sounded wounded instead.
His hand squeezed gently from behind her and she shut her eyes tight so he couldn't see, even though her back was still to him. "I really wish I could." He answered.
She pulled away from him after a moment, leaving him alone in the middle of the busy hall.
By the time she entered the classroom her smile was back, and it was like nothing had ever happened. She worked resiliently through the assignments without any signs of being troubled. She never told anyone that the entire time she could have sworn she still felt his fingers resting on the bare skin of her collarbone. It seemed like lately, the only thing she found herself doing was trying to force him out of her mind.
'I broke up with him for a reason,' She thought to herself, firmly. 'And I'm not going to forgive him for it… I won't.'
At 12:45, Kagome broke out from the concrete and glass into the fresh air that surrounded the track field. She'd left a note on Inuyasha's locker asking him to meet her there so that they could use her free period to start work on their project, ignoring the suspiciously claw-shaped markings on the door. Whether or not he had a free during fifth period didn't trouble her – she had been pretty sure the guy didn't even attend classes at all when she found him to be missing from both his history and geometry classes that morning along with him blowing off English for the second day in a row. A few questions to a couple bewildered students confirmed her suspicions.
"Hanyouri? Dude, that psycho doesn't even go to classes. Everybody knows that. Are you like retarded or something?"
She pushed out the memory and sat down on the grass while the varsity track team rounded the far corner. She thoughtfully pulled out her sketchbook and started working. She became so engrossed in her latest piece that she didn't even hear Koga calling out to her.
"-gome! … Kagome!"
She jumped and looked up, her eyes clashing with said person's blue eyes. "Koga." She jumped up and he leaned causally against the rail of the track, sweat beading on his arms and face.
"Come to watch me and my team practice?" he gave her a grin.
"You're on varsity?" Kagome asked, impressed.
Koga shrugged, but the smirk on his face gave it all away. She smiled. "That's' really good. How did you get into it?"
For a moment, her friend's eyes grew distant. Then he came back into focus and shrugged. "It's not actually a reason I'm that proud of." He confessed. "Sometimes when things get hard, I feel like the best thing I can do is run."
Kagome frowned, taken aback by the answer that she didn't really understand. "Oh."
He smiled when he saw her confusion. "Forget it," he said, "Why are you out here?"
"I'm supposed to be meeting someone." She answered. "This guy called Inu-"
"Koga! What do you think you're doing?"
Inuyasha watched as the track coach chewed Koga's ass out for stopping to talk to a girl on the sidelines.
Kagome's note was crumpled up in his hand. He still couldn't quite understand why she didn't realize that she wasn't supposed to be talking to him. Surely, someone had filled her in by now on the things that everybody had said that he'd done… on everything that had happened.
He continued to watch from a distance as the dark-haired guy waved gave a loose, two-fingered wave to Kagome as he resumed his laps and she sat back down on the grass to resume her sketching.
He had come only because he'd wanted to fill her in – tell her to leave him alone. Or at least, that's what he'd told himself. He'd had nothing better to do after all… right?
A muscle in his jaw ticked. 'Whatever.' He turned around and started to walk back to the building. It had been stupid to come out here in the first place. Someone would tell Kagome sooner or later what kind of person he was, and that he didn't exactly count as someone "cool" to hang out with. She would grow afraid, just like the rest of them, and melt into the crowd and things would return to normal.
He didn't really want to intervene and he didn't know what he would say to her anyway even if he did go down and talk to her. Then why, he wondered to himself, had he even bothered to come out her in the first place?
A/N: Like I said, I wanted to make this chapter longer. It would have moved to Rin's POV, but I'm really, really tired. Okay. So, quotes for the next chapter.
"You're here?" – Miroku.
"Just to talk. Nothing else." – Sango.
"I'm glad." – Miroku.
(We will finally figure out why the hell these two broke up! …Or, at least, we'll get further along into the explanation at least:) it will be totally worth it).
"Listen, I don't know how the heck you managed to miss this memo – but you're supposed to stay the hell away from me. Everybody stays away from me! Got that?" – Inuyasha.
"I know..." – Kagome. "But I-"
And others…
Review inspire me to update. And to write actually… oh well. Here's for going back to school! (raises glass of champagne) Wait… (chucks it at the window) I forgot, I hate school.

Travelling by train is a great way to get a feel for this country, as well as use your time travelling between destinations to see the changing landscape. In the deserted, silent, yet simply beautiful northern regions you can track polar bears, or head further south to the dramatic forests and rivers that are home to their cousins; the great grizzlies.
A summer visit can best be spent touring The Rocky Mountains, the picture-perfect location for photography and offering plenty in the way of outdoor pursuits and fishing in the great lakes. Witnessing the killer whales in June and July will take your breath away.
Come the winter months and a ski holiday will offer pristine slopes and guaranteed snow; a true winter wonderland. Away from the pistes, dog-sledding excursions and guided tours to see the aurora borealis should certainly be on your list of 'must sees'.
Great Bear Lodge was used as a base for filming by the BBC wildlife team behind the Secrets of our Living Planet series

As England fans watched the national side struggle to a draw in Poland this afternoon, there was some more cheery news to digest.
Jack Wilshere's recovery from injury took a huge step forward when the midfielder completed 90 minutes for Arsenal's reserves in a specially arranged friendly against Chelsea.
The England midfielder has been stepping up his recovery from a serious ankle injury over recent weeks including two appearances for Arsenal's under-21 side as well as training with the first team.
Wilshere managed 63 minutes in his first game back and 74 in the next. Today's game at Arsenal's training ground in Hertfordshire was the first match Wilshere has completed.
Arsenal's under-21s have a match at Everton on Monday night which he is also expected to be involved in.
If Wilshere continues to show signs of progress it is thought he will make his return to the first team in the Capital One Cup tie at the Madejski Stadium on October 30. It has not been ruled out that he could feature before, but Wenger has made clear the 20-year-old will not be rushed.
The England midfielder has not played competitively for 15 months and having been plagued by set-backs, it is not considered worth the risk to rush him.
Should Wilshere return for the match against Reading, he would be in contention for the Gunners' following game, away against Manchester United in the Premier League.
There was more good news for Arsenal fans with Emmanuel Frimpong also in action today. The midfielder could be considered for the trip to struggling Norwich on Saturday having recovered from a second serious knee injury.

You might be wondering that there is a techy side to this piece of article. Well, there isn't. No coding, no designing and still a lot of money. In order to make money online through android applications, you do not have to be a coder in the first place. What you need to have is good business skills and right kind of people to do the work for you.
Outsource mobile app developers to make money fast online
This is the first step. Look out for people around you and see if you can find a good, competitive developer – who does not charge a lot. Go for his experience and portfolio. Based on that, ask him questions and check if he knows them all. If you FEEL right about that person, he is your man!
Check out the market before you start creating an android app
This is essential. You should know whether what you are making has a need inside the market. Get your survey done for this matter and know what people are most interested in. I have seen apps which are well designed and have good features but still aren't popular. The concept behind your app must reflect the need of the users.
Branding and Marketing
While your application to make money online is being designed, start marketing the idea out in the social media. Don't forget about your product even once it is designed because you need an audience towards that app for a lifetime. Updates must be notified to the people over social media and by personal notifications on their phones. You need to make sure that people remember that your product exists which is only possible by means of branding. Newsletters subscription is also a good idea.
To make money online through android apps, keep them free to download
Free Apps generally generate a huge amount of traffic because sometimes even if people do not like the app, they install it in the first place because they see it's for free. And that's what gets you to make money online – pay per install. You are monetizing that traffic with banners and affiliate programs. Each click on the advertising banner gets you money.
I can't say that you don't have to invest a lot of money in the process but it's worth it. The turnover can hit new milestones.

Blake Bortles
University of Central Florida Knights
Oviedo, Florida
Oviedo High School
Despite a highly impressive sophomore campaign, little was known about the Knights' signal-caller entering the 2013 season. As the campaign progressed, the Blake Bortles "bandwagon" continued to grow, as area scouts made it a priority to view the quarter-back, as he registered one of the finest seasons in school history. He not only became just the second player in school history to produce multiple 3,000-yard annual performances, he also became the school's most "mistake-free" passer, producing an interception-to-pass attempt ratio of .213, thanks to having only 19 of 891 tosses picked off through 37 games at the helm.
Since beating out Jeff Godfrey for the starting quarterback job during 2012 preseason drills, Bortles has connected on 65.66% of his passes (585), throwing for at least 300 yards on five occasions during his final season. He generated 7,598 aerial yards, the fourth-highest total in school history, also ranking fourth with 56 touchdown tosses. Despite a frame that is more suited for being a pocket passer, he has also proven to be quite mobile, rushing for fifteen more touchdowns on only 195 carries, picking up 561 yards on the ground. That output would see him compile 8,159 yards, becoming just the fourth Knight to ever amass at least 8,000 yards in total offense.
The Central Florida coaching staff was well aware of Bortles, based on his stellar prep career at local Oviedo High school. In fact, they were the first university to extend him a scholarship offer, which the Rivals.com three-star prospect quickly accepted prior to his senior season with the Lions. He would go on to complete 151-of-233 passes for 2,211 yards with 27 touchdowns and seven interceptions in 2009. He finished his career by setting Seminole County records with 5,576 passing yards and 53 touchdowns.
Rated the state of Florida's eighth-best player, according to the Orlando Sentinel Central's Florida Top 100 list, Bortles also received third-team all-state recognition in 2008, and was twice named all-county. Prior to capturing the MVP Award at the Central Florida All-Star Game in 2009, he threw for 2,400 yards and 24 touchdowns with nine interceptions while also running for 250 yards in 2008, leading the Lions to the district championship in 2007 and 2009.
Despite late efforts by Purdue, Colorado State, Kentucky, Tulane and Western Kentucky to recruit Bortles, he preferred to remain close to home, enrolling at Central Florida in 2010. He would spend that season guiding the Knights' scout team and then spent ten games at the reserve quarterback in 2011. That year, he completed an impressive 68.18% of his passes (75-of-110) for 958 yards, six touchdowns and three interceptions. Showing the mobility of UCF's revered former All-American Daunte Culpepper, he also scored once on 21 rushing attempts, earning a spot on the Conference USA's All-Freshman team.
Bortles would emerge from 2012 preseason camp as the team's starting quarterback. When he received All-Conference USA honors, he would become the first UCF passer to earn postseason league honors since Central Florida joined the major college ranks as a member of the Mid-American Conference in 2002. Named the team's Most Improved Player, he would become the first Knight to ever record at least two touchdown passes in ten games during the course of a regular season schedule. He began a string of 147 pass attempts without an interception in mid-September and when that streak was snapped, he would not have any of his final 174 throws picked off, establishing another school mark.
Bortles would conclude his sophomore season with 251 completions of 399 tosses (62.91%), 25 touchdowns and only seven interceptions. With 3,059 aerial yards, he became only the fifth player in UCF annals to throw for over 3,000 yards in a season, as he led Conference USA passers with an average of 7.67 yards gained per completion. He also scored eight times on 87 carries, ranking second in the league with 3,344 yards in total offense. He concluded that campaign by earning MVP honors after leading the Knights to a win over Ball State in the Beef 'O'Brady's Bowl.
Bortles further advanced through the school record charts with a stellar junior season in 2013, the Knights' first year in the newly formed American Athletic Conference, as he was successful on 259-of-382 throws for 3,581 yards, 25 touchdowns and nine interceptions. He finished seventh in the nation by gaining an average of 9.37 yards per pass completion and finished ninth with a 168.14 pass efficiency rating. He also scored six times on the ground and collected 3,853 yards in total offense, placing seventh in the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision ranks with an average gain of 8.22 yards each time he touched the ball.
With another standout performance in the postseason, Bortles was named the Fiesta Bowl MVP. He helped the Knights upset Baylor in a 52-42 slugfest, recording his fifth 300-yard aerial performance (301) that included three touchdowns, as he also gained 93 yards with a score on eight carries. That game would be his last as a collegian, but he would do it in explosive fashion, completing his final nine pass attempts for the Knights.
Five days later, on Jan. 6, 2014, the quarterback announced that he would forgo his senior season and would join the 2014 NFL Draft class. Tailback Storm Johnson would also join his quarterback in leaving school to play in the NFL next season. Bortles would compile a 22-5 record as a starter at Central Florida that included two wins over top-10 teams in 2013.
Bortles' leadership on the field enabled the Knights to go 7-1 in games decided by seven points or less, highlighted by a 21-point comeback in a 38-35 win over Louisville. UCF has had at least one Knight selected in the NFL Draft eight straight years. Daunte Culpepper stands as the school's highest pick when he was taken with the 11th overall selection by the Minnesota Vikings in 1999, which also is the only time a Central Florida quarterback was taken in the draft. Culpepper is also the only Knight to hear his name called in the first round as well, but most professional talent evaluators are confident that Bortles would be the next to receive that lofty draft selection.
Bortles, who had arrived at Central Florida as a virtual unknown quarterback with modest expectations, is considered a lock to be one of the first quarterbacks taken in the draft. After leading the Knights to the most successful campaign in program history, he stated, "after a lot of deliberations and talking with my parents, I've decided to try and pursue my goal to playing the NFL and capture my lifelong dream," Bortles said. "I just couldn't be more proud to say I played football at UCF and it was the best four years of my life."
Bortles appeared in 37 games for the Knights, starting his 35 contests, as he completed 585-of-891 passes (65.66%) for 7,598 yards, as his 56 touchdown tosses rank 23rd among active NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision quarterbacks…His pass completion percentage placed him 14th among active participants, while his pass efficiency rating of 153.76 ranks 13th…Was intercepted 19 times and averaged 205.35 yards in total offense per game…Scored 15 times and added 561 yards via 195 rushing attempts (2.88 ypc), as he registered 8,159 yards in total offense (26th among active players) while participating in 1,086 plays, an average of 7.51 yards per attempt and 220.51 yards per game…Responsible for 71 touchdowns, as he also caught one pass for a 3-yard loss and recorded a pair of solo tackles
School Career-Record Charts…Bortles has thrown for over 300 yards five times during his career, all coming during the 2013 season. That total tied both Darin Hinshaw (1991-94) and Vic Penn (1999-2000) for third place in school annals. Ahead of them on the depth chart are fifteen 300-yard passing performances by both Daunte Culpepper (1995-98) and Ryan Schneider (2000-03)…His 7,598 aerial yards placed fourth on the UCF all-time record list, surpassed by Culpepper (11,412 yards); Schneider (10,976) and Hinshaw (9,000)…Bortles' 585 pass completions are surpassed by only Culpepper (889); Schneider (840) and Hinshaw (614) in school annals, while his 891 pass attempts placed fifth on the Central Florida career list…His 56 touchdown tosses rank behind Culpepper (84); Schneider (82) and Hinshaw (82) among Knights signal-callers…His interception-to-pass attempt ratio of .0273 established a school record, topping the previous career mark of .0295 by Jeff Godfrey (2010-13)…Bortles' 8,159 yards in total offense marked only the fourth time that a Knights player generated over 8,000 yards during a career, joining Culpepper (12,432); Schneider (10,703) and Hinshaw (8,865).

An absolute riot. Loved them all. My body aches from laughing so hard. You sure are one funny guy.
Just in case it is of interest to you, Video #3 did point out a distinct difference between you and me.
If i were in that situation, i would have slipped and fallen off of the tree while crossing that raging river and impaled myself with the knife that you were carrying in your right hand. There wouldn't have been an episode #4 in my case due to the knife. for my part, i always liked to run with scissors in my hand as a kid – i sure knew how to live dangerously! if your mother is anything like mine was, i could almost hear her saying "Jason, how many time do i have to tell you, don't cross raging rivers with an unsheathed knife in your hand!!" I can only imagine, never having been in situations similar to yours, but compared to the dangers you braved to make those four videos, carrying that knife must have seemed downright tame to you?!!.
Glad you're making these videos. Like young Oliver says at the beginning of the Stage Play, "Please Sir, may I have some more?" Can't wait for the next one.Jul 25, 2007 at 12:17 am #1396409

Great creativity! Your accent, phrasing, and inflection are remarkable. Very funny!
May I suggest that you show either "by accident" or advertently what happens after the various "shots"? I always get a chuckle when I think about Bear after the camera turns off…and he is washing his mouth out with Listerine or getting into a nice sturdy tent….unbeknownst to the "naive viewer". A pre-edited tape or Bear blooper real seems like the ultimate opportunity to make fun.Jul 25, 2007 at 3:37 pm #1396484

I scratched my forehead due to retinol itching. Now I have a few scars in my neck and forehead? (Photo)
I created few scars in my front head and neck. Should i stop the retinol in those areas and just use it where i do not have scars until get better?
Doctor Answers 2
Retinoids, Retinol, Retin A and Skin Sensitivity & Itching -- Clear + Brilliant, Fraxel, Microneedling/PRP and Skin Care
Discontinue the retinol until your skin issue resolves. The scars may disappear on their own. If not, please see an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Scratch scars after retinoid use
I would recommend holding back on the retinoid for a few days, application of Melarase AM with sunscreen, and a light chemical peel. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles
