Objective: This study aimed to make an inventory of animal diseases that affect milk production and the plants locally used against these diseases.

Materials and methods: A survey was carried out from April to August 2013 in 41 farms in department of Collines, 40 in Alibori, 40 in Borgou and 21 in Mono using questionnaires. SAS software was used with Chi-square test and bilateral Z test.

Results: The study revealed twelve main pathologies that limit milk production. Among these pathologies, foot-and-mouth disease and trypanosomiasis were the most mentioned pathologies. To fight these pathologies, 60 medicinal plants of 32 families were recorded. The most cited families were Leguminosae (31.67%), Combretaceae (6.67%), Meliaceae (5%) and Rubiaceae (5%), whereas the predominant species used by animal keepers were Khaya senagalensis, Vitellaria paradoxa, Parkia biglobosa and Securidaca longipedunculata. The 60 listed species were used in 85 recipes which varied from one department and farmer to another. The most used organs were plant barks (41.06%) and roots (31.13%), while the most common methods of preparation were decoction (37.5%), maceration (32.5%) and powders (22.5%). Oral route was the main route of administration.

Conclusion: The inventory has shown that the important pathologies are foot-and-mouth disease and trypanosomiasis. This needs immediate actions. Barks and roots were the commonly employed plant organs used as infusion (decoction and maceration) and powder that farmers administer orally to animals. The harvest did not require a special season or time. Furthermore, farmers inherited most of these recipes from their parents and they use them because of their effectiveness.

Objective: This study was carried out to investigate the effects of estradiol benzoate (EB) injection to male rabbits on glucose, total-protein, albumin, calcium concentrations and prostate tissue, and the role of prolactin as an important mediator of estrogen action in prostate.

Materials and methods: Fifty four adult male rabbits were used in this study. The rabbits were randomly divided into two groups. Group A contained 36 male rabbits, which were further randomly divided into four sub-groups, three of them contained 10 rabbits and one sub-group contained 6 rabbits as control. Group B contained 18 male rabbits, which were divided randomly into three equal sub-groups. Three sub-groups of Groups A and B were treated once each on alternative day with the intramuscular injections of EB dosed at 40, 80 and 120 µg/rabbit, respectively for 20 days, whereas the fourth sub-group of Group A received no estradiol, and Group B received 1 mg Bromocriptine Mesilate in addition to EB through oral route on each alternative day. Blood samples were collected for measuring glucose, t-protein, albumin and calcium levels. Prostate tissue samples were collected from all the rabbits for histological studies.

Results: Glucose was significantly (P˂0.05) increased as a result of 80 µg EB injection, while significantly (P˂0.05) decreased due to 40 and 120 µg EB injection. Total protein significantly (P˂0.05) increased due to injection of 40 µg EB, however t-protein was not changed due to 40 and 120 µg injection. On the other hand, the results of albumin and calcium were not affected (P˃0.05) by EB. In prostate tissues, EB induced hyperplasia with dysplasia or dysplasia only, but this effect was mild due to inhibition of prolactin.

Conclusion: The injection of EB to male rabbits increased or decreased glucose level, increased t-protein level mildly or not changed, while albumin and calcium levels were not affected. EB induced hyperplasia on prostate tissue, and this effect was reduced by prolactin inhibition indicating that prolactin might have a role on the action of estrogen.

Objective: This cross-sectional study was conducted from January to June 2013 to estimate the prevalence of internal lesions in slaughtered camels at Tambool slaughterhouse and to identify the aerobic bacteria colonizing these lesions.

Material and methods: A total of 280 carcasses of camels were thoroughly inspected during post-mortem examination and samples were collected from internal lesions and cultured onto different culture media. Isolated bacteria had undergone testing of several biochemical activities for species identification and susceptibility to certain antibiotics.

Results: Internal lesions were detected in 25.0% (95% CI of ±5.07) of the carcasses and were observed in the lungs, liver and heart. Statistical association analyses showed that origin, sex, breed, and body condition were related to detection of lesions. A number of 179 isolates of aerobic bacteria belonging to 9 genera were grown and included Staphylococcus species (32.0%), Escherichia coli (26.0%), Streptococcus species (18.0%), Corynebacterium species (5.0%), and Bacillus species, Salmonella species, Pseudomonus species, and Klebsiella species; each of them 4.0%, and Shigella species (2%). Drug susceptibility testing showed that chloramphenicol was the most effective antibiotic against Staphylococcus species, Corynebacterium species, and Bacillus species, while penicillin g 10 was more effective against Streptococcus species. Ciprofloxacin 5 µg and ampicllin/sulpactum 20 µg were effective against E. coli, Salmonella species, Klebsiella species, Shigella species, and Pseudomonas species.

Conclusion: It can be concluded that internal lesions are prevalent in camels slaughtered at Tambool slaughterhouse and many species of bacteria were colonizing these lesions, hence, evaluating the economic magnitude of internal lesions resulting in partial and/or total condemnation of organs is warranted.

Objective: The study was conducted to determine the prevalence of infectious diseases in Sonali chickens at Bogra Sadar Upazila, Bogra, Bangladesh.

Materials and methods: A total of 258 sick and dead Sonali chickens were examined for the diagnosis of different infectious diseases based on history, clinical findings and postmortem lesions of dead and sacrificed birds.

Results: Infectious Bursal disease (IBD) was recorded in 14.72% (n=38/258) cases. Similarly, Newcastle disease (ND), Coccidiosis, Colibacillosis and Mycoplasmosis were recorded in 11.24% (n=29/258), 13.95% (n=36/258), 14.72% (n=38/258), 12.79% (n=33/258) cases, respectively. Mixed infection of IBD, ND and Coccidiosis found in 16.67% (n=43/258) birds. On the other hand, mixed infection of IBD, ND and colibacillosis was recorded in 15.89% (n=41/258) cases.

Conclusion: It is concluded that several infectious diseases are commonly present in Sonali chicken in the study area of Bangladesh. Mixed infections are more prevalent as compared to single infection. Proper hygienic management and appropriate vaccination should be taken in consideration for effective control the diseases. Further microbiological and molecular diagnoses are suggested for detail studies of these diseases and their pathogens.

Objective: This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of Salmonella in milk (farm bulk milk, raw market milk) and cheese (kareish, white soft cheese) samples that were collected randomly from farms, supermarkets, small vendors and shops in different districts of Mansoura city, Egypt.

Materials and methods: A total of 100 farm bulk milk, raw market milk, kareish cheese and white soft cheese samples (25 of each) were screened for the prevalence of Salmonella spp. The Salmonella isolates were isolated and identified by conventional bacteriological techniques, which were further confirmed genetically by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) based on the presence of invA gene. Finally, the isolates were serotyped.

Results: Salmonella could be detected in 15%(n=15/100) samples with a prevalence of 12%(n=3/25), 24%(n=6/25), 20%(n=5/25) and 4%(n=1/25) in raw market milk, raw farm bulk milk, kareish cheese and white soft cheese, respectively. The Salmonella isolates were serotyped into S. enteritidis 33.3%(n=9/27) which was the most frequent, followed by S. typhimurium 25.9%(n=7/27), S. heidelberg 14.8%(n=4/27), S. infantis 11.11%(n=3/27), S. tsevie 11.11%(n=3/27) and S. haifa 3.7%(n=1/27).

Conclusion: The present study confirms the presence of Salmonella in milk and cheese samples in Mansoura, Egypt, indicating that the dairy products can act as potential sources of Salmonella infection. Thus, appropriate hygienic measures are suggestive for combating Salmonellosis in Egypt.

Objective: This study envisages dynamics and factors affecting fecal oocyst counts (FOC) in natural infection in goats in semi-arid India.

Materials and methods: A total of 1152 fecal samples from Jamunapari goats in semi-arid India were collected, processed and examined for fecal oocysts over a period of 3 years for prevalence and severity of the disease through FOC using modified Mc Master Technique. The log transformed FOC data on 912 animals from 59 sires were used for subsequent analyses for genetic and non-genetic factors affecting FOC. Fixed effects included were years of collection (1-3), seasons of collection (summer, rainy, winter), sex (male, female), age group (0-3, >3-6, >6-12, adults). Least squares analysis of variance for fitting constant was applied to data set.

Results: The overall prevalence of coccidian infection in goats was 86.71%(n=999/1162). Highest incident was found in winter season (91.74%) and >6-12 M age (97.95%). Eimeria arloingi and E. ninakohlyakimovae were the most frequently occurring species. The heritability of FOC was found to be 0.06±0.06. The effect of sire on FOC was not significant; however, effects of animal age, year, season of collection and sex on FOC were found to be significant.

Conclusion: Coccidiosis in goats is seasonally occurring disease, most commonly affecting animals of less than one year age. FOC in coccidiosis affected animals is lowly inherited trait for selection of goat against this disease.

Objective: The present study was conducted for the purpose of setting forth the normal serum Hcy, vitamin B12 and folate levels in Van cats of varying ages and genders, and the age-dependent variations of these parameters.

Materials and methods: The material of the study consisted of a total of 60 healthy Van cats including 30 female and 30 male cats. Cats from both genders were separated into 3 groups on the basis of their ages. While the cats of 6 - 12 months of age were included in the first group, cats of 12-24 months of age were included in the second and those of more than 24 months of age were included in the third group.

Results: From the blood samples collected; serum normal homocysteine, vitamin B12 and folate levels were determined as 7.1±2.2 nmol/mL, 850.7±231.8 pg/mL and 16.7±0.8 ng/mL, respectively. In the statistical comparison of the determined serum homocysteine, vitamin B12 and folate levels; some variations among different groups of age and genders were determined. However, none of these differences were determined to be statistically significant.

Conclusion: The normal levels of serum Hcy, vitamin B12 and folate of healthy Van cats were set forth for the first time by the present study. It is believed that the normal values of these parameters in Van cats can be used in the diagnosis and prognosis of various diseases and particularly cardiovascular diseases, that they will be helpful for researchers and will serve as a guideline to the studies to be conducted in the future.

Objective: The study was conducted to evaluate economic loss from liver condemnation due to Fasciolosis in slaughtered ruminants in Maiduguri abattoir, Borno State, Nigeria.

Materials and methods: Three hundred (300) livers each of cattle, sheep and goats slaughtered were randomly selected and examined for the presence of Fasciola flukes. The infected livers were weighed and economic value in Nigerian Naira (₦) and US Dollar (US$) were assessed.

Results: An overall economic loss of ₦602,400.00 (1,882.50 US$) per annum was incurred during the period under study from a total of 753 kg of liver condemned. Total of 428 kg and 325 kg of liver were condemned during dry and rainy seasons respectively, resulting in higher economic loss of (₦342,400.00; 1,070 US$) in dry season and (₦260,000.00; 812.50 US$) during rainy season. More liver were condemned in the adult cattle (372 kg) than in adult sheep (117 kg) and goats (108 kg) during the period of this study.

Conclusion: Ruminant fasciolosis is endemic in Maiduguri, and high economic loss for the farmers and butchers are reported in this study. Strengthening and developing better control methods of fasciolosis in ruminants in Borno State is suggested.

Merghani firstname.lastname@example.com Walaa Awadin firstname.lastname@example.com
Objective: This study was conducted to assess the hazardous effects of high fructose administration on kidney, heart and aorta in rats.

Materials and methods: Twenty adult healthy male albino rats weighing about 200-220 gm each were used in this study. The rats were divided into 2 duplicate groups; control group and fructose group. Fructose was administered to rats in fresh drinking water daily for 8 weeks (the whole experimental period). Serum urea, creatinine and sodium concentration were determined by using ready-made kits. Spectrophotometric and colorimetric methods were also used for the detection of other serum components. Histopathological examination of the tissues was done by staining with H&E, PAS and Masson trichrome stains.

Results: Nephropathy was achieved in fructose group after one month as indicated by biochemical assay. Pathological observation showed that high fructose administration decreased size of cardio-myocytes, increased cardiac interstitial fibrosis score and aortic wall thickness. In kidneys, high fructose administration decreased glomerular tuft area and corpuscular area, increased percentage in the rats affected with interstitial renal fibrosis score 1 and percentage of rats had glomerular sclerosis score 2.

Conclusion: High fructose in diet should be avoided because it can damage kidney, heart and aorta in rats.

Objective: This study was conducted to investigate the origin, course and distribution of the arteries supplying the stomach of the goat which is of extreme clinical importance for surgeon during caprine rumenotomy.

Materials and methods: Fifteen adult goats were used in this study to demonstrate the arterial supply of the stomach by injection of the thoracic aorta with red gum milk latex after general anesthesia and slaughtering of the animals. Gross dissection of the arteries of the stomach was done to detect the origin, course and distribution of these arteries.

Results: The study revealed that the rumen was richly supplied by the right and left ruminal arteries as well as ruminal branches from the reticular artery. The reticulum was supplied with reticular branches of reticular and accessory reticular arteries. The omasum was vascularized by omasal branches of the left gastric artery. While the abomasum received its entire arterial supply from abomasal branches of the left gastric, left gastroepiploic, right gastric and right gastroepiploic arteries.

Conclusion: The stomach of the goat receives its arterial supply from the branches of the right ruminal, left ruminal, reticular, left gastric and hepatic arteries. Rumenotomy could be done in the left aspect of the dorsal ruminal sac, between the area of anastomoses of the terminal branches of the left and right ruminal arteries as the blood supply was minimal, so that bleeding will be low.

Objective: This research is designed to explore the methods of isolation and culture for endothelial progenitor cells from bovine bone marrow, characteristic, induced differentiative capacity in vitro.

Material and methods: Main experimental reagents contain DMEM/F12, fetal bovine serum, percoll lymphocyte separating, Trypsin 1: 250, VEGF, bFGF, GF-1, EDTA and so on. Cultivation system is DMEM/F12 with 10% FBS and VEGF 10 ng/mL, cultured under 37°C, 5% CO2, saturated humidity. Cell viability is measured by trypan blue solution exclusion test. Immunofluorescent detection is used to detected cell surface markers and double swallows, while bovine chromosome is analyzed by karyotyping.

Results: We find that the majority of bovine endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) are fibrous shaped. Frozen survival of bovine EPCs before and after cryopreservation is 95.2±0.14% and 80.9±0.30% respectively; cryopreservation affects little on the viability of bovine EPCs. Immunofluorescent detection of the cell surface markers CD34, CD133 and flk present positive, which can confirm that the cell cultured in vitro are EPCs. Then Dil-ac-LDL and FITC-UAE-1 uptake assays are carried out. Eventually, bovine EPCs are induced to differentiate into endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells respectively, demonstrating the multi-lineage differentiation potential of bovine EPCs in vitro.

Conclusion: EPCs can be got with proper culture system. The little cell cryopreservation effect and stronger induced differentiation potential in vitro imply that EPCs can be applied in genetic resources conservation and reuse.

Objective: This study was conceived to investigate the pathogenicity of relapsed (Diminazene aceturate-resistant), field (original) and mixed (relapsed and field) isolates of Trypanosoma brucei brucei in rats.

Materials and methods: Twenty eight healthy adult albino rats of both sexes weighing between 149-177 gm were used to compare the pathogenicity of relapsed, field and the mixed isolates of T. brucei brucei infections. The rats were separated into four groups (A-D); where, group A was kept as uninfected control, and group B was infected with 1x103 trypanosomes of the field isolate and 1x103 trypanosomes of the diminazene aceturate resistant isolate. The rats of groups C and D were infected with 1x106 trypanosomes of the diminazene aceturate-resistant isolate and 1x106 trypanosomes of the field isolate, respectively.

Results: The infected rats became parasitemic within 4 to 8 days post-infection. The mean pre-patent periods (PP) were 4.1±1.1, 6.0±2.0 and 9.1±1.1 days in groups B, C and D respectively, while the mean survival time (ST) in groups B, C and D were 21.4±10.1, 27.1±13.2 and 34.0 ±12.8 days, respectively. The PP and ST were shortest (P<0.05) in group B (mixed infections), and level of parasitemia was higher (P<0.05) in group B (mixed infections) as compared to groups C and D. The level of anemia was comparable (P>0.05) in groups C and D and more severe (P<0.05) in group B.

Conclusion: Mixed infections exhibit shortest PP, ST, higher level of parasitemia and more severe anemia, and appear to be more pathogenic.

Objecitve: Maggot wound is common in domestic and pet animals but report on maggot wound treatment in wildlife species is scanty. The study reported here the surgical and conservative management of maggot wounds including anesthetic protocol and postoperative care in two Bengal tigers (Panthera tigris tigris).

Materials and methods: One female and one male tiger were presented with maggot wounds for treatment at the Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Safari Park, Gazipur, Bangladesh. Tigers were anesthetized with combined injection of xylazine (dosed at 1.0 mg/kg bwt, IM) and ketamine hydrochloride (dosed at 3.5 mg/kg bwt, IM). Superficial maggots were removed from wounds using sterile tissue forceps. Gauze soaked in oil of turpentine was allowed to remain in each wound pocket for 5 min for the removal of deep-seated maggots. Finally, wounds were dressed with tincture iodine to clean out the dead tissue debris and to induce inflammation for rapid healing. A single subcutaneous injection of ivermectin (dosed at 200 µg/kg bwt, IM) was given in each tiger. In addition, long acting oxytetracycline (dosed at 10 mg/kg bwt, IM) on 48 h interval for six days, chlorpheniramine maleate (dosed at 1 mg/kg bwt, IM) once daily for three days, and ascorbic acid (dosed at 250 mg/tiger, IM) once daily for seven days were administered in both tigers.

Results: The tigers were recovered successfully without any complications in two weeks following treatment.

Objective: Foot rot is one of the most important causes of lameness and economic losses in sheep and goats world-wide. This case report described the clinical management of lameness due to foot rot in two female Boer goats aging 4-year both from two different farms in Selangor, Malaysia.

Materials and methods: The goats were presented with the complaint of non-weight bearing lameness of the right forelimbs. The hoof was broken and the interdigital space was filled with dirt and exuding a foul smelling odor.

Results: On clinical examination, the goats were looking as dull and isolated with body condition scores of 2.5/5 (case 1) and 3/5 (case 2), respectively. The goats had a rectal temperature of 38.8°C and 40.4°C, pulse rate of 80 and 100 beats per minutes, and respiratory rate of 44 and 24 cycles per minute, respectively. Blood sample was collected for complete blood count and serum biochemistry from case 1 only. The hoof was thoroughly washed and disinfected. Parenteral administrations of Flunixin meglumine (dosed at 2.2 mg/kg bwt, IM) thrice daily and Oxytetracycline (dosed at 20 mg/kg bwt, IM case 1) once and Sulfadiazine+trimethoprim (dosed at 1 mL/16 kg bwt, IM case 2) for 3 days. Topical oxytetracycline was applied to the area for 5 days.

Conclusion: The prognosis was very good as there was a significant improvement in the hoof injury of both animals. The goats were recovered after 7 days of treatment.

What requirements are embodied in the art of teaching in online learning? An effective teacher must be true to the learning objectives of the subject-matter at hand while attending to the multitude of facilitation requirements and characteristics students bring to the experience. Effective teachers bridge content and student needs through appropriate student engagement; a tactic as old as education itself (Astin, 1993; Schwab, 1978). The sense of bricoleur, or one who creates from a diverse range of materials and tools, is appropriable. This presentation will review data from 39 online teachers from two open and distance institutions regarding the concepts in the Community of Inquiry (CoI) model for online environments (Garrison, Anderson & Archer, 2000). Particular emphasis is noted on the role of emotion in online environments. It is possible that emotional presence impacts perceptions of teaching, sets online classroom climate and both enhances and hinders students learning.

Facebook has in the past avoided the use of GIFs on its social network, fearing that along with its autoplaying video the News Feed would become overly cluttered. But Facebook users love a meme, and memes and GIFs go hand in hand. Also see: How to stop autoplaying video on Facebook.
Uploading a GIF to Facebook is simple, although you can't simply attach a GIF to your post as you would do a photo or other image. Below we show you step-by-step how to start using animated images on Facebook. Also see: How to create a GIF.
What is a GIF?
A GIF is a short animated image that plays in a loop, and can be viewed anywhere. In comparison to a video, GIFs are much smaller files that are more suitable for viewing over slow internet or mobile connections. It's faster to upload, too.
Upload a GIF to Facebook
1. As you can't upload your own GIF files to Facebook, you'll either need to create your own and upload it to another hosting site, or find a GIF you like on Tumblr, Imgur, Giphy or elsewhere. Open the GIF, then right-click on the image. Also see: Best Facebook tips and tricks.
2. In Google Chrome select the option to 'Copy Image URL'. If you're using Firefox, instead look for and select 'Copy Image Location'. In Opera you want 'Copy Image Address'. Other browsers will have slightly different options, but in all cases you're looking for an option that allows you to copy the URL that takes you directly to the GIF.
3. Next, log into your Facebook news feed in a new browser window and paste the link into the 'What's on your mind?' status field at the top of the page. You can use Ctrl, V on your keyboard, or right-click in the box and select Paste.
4. Give it a second and the GIF will automatically appear below the URL. You can delete this URL or leave it there - it's up to you.
5. To post the GIF simply click Post - it's that easy!

The Society
People from a variety of disciplines work in the field of research and development for rehabilitation of people with vision impairment. This includes ophthalmologists, optometrists, orthoptists, physicists, psychologists, therapists, physicians, and clinical healthcare professionals, among others.
Work in this field includes:
- quantative determination of visual functioning.
- rehabilitation of vision impairments.
- rehabilitation of people with vision impairments.
- producing an integral rehabilitation model.
Research into vision impairment is becoming increasingly important because of the predominance of information exchange which requires vision, such as books, journals, video, and computer monitors. In addition, this kind of research and development is important because of the importance of vision in such practical tasks as driving. A society such as the ISLRR meets a long felt need for the exchange of knowledge and information among people working in the field of low vision research.
Aims of the Society
The objectives of the ISLRR are:
- to stimulate scientific research in the field of low vision and in the field of rehabilitation of people with low vision.
- to promote the exchange of information in these fields.
The society aims to achieve these goals by:
- coordinating and distributing information by means of courses, workshops, symposia and international conferences.
- issuing publications.
- stimulating general communication on low vision and the rehabilitation of people with low vision.

Thursday, May 12, 2016
I guess this post is going to be more of a journal entry. It feels like life is about what you don't have yet {these days} so no one looks around to be excited by what's already there.
I'm not quite a year in my new house, when I moved in, I planted a lilac (thanks mom) and tulip bulbs, I have a natural green thumb thanks to my mother, but I understand certain plants are like taking care of any relationship, and sometimes I don't have time for that, so I have been more than excited by spring at "All Strings Attached."
No one has cared about my yard in YEARS, I have a really old lilac in the back (yay, best flower scent ever), a big forsythia bush, Plants popping up everywhere, some leftover of a rose bush that I can bring back to life, pink peonies in the back corner, I know they're really hard and picky, I can't believe they survived,
If you let beings grow, make space, they bloom.
I don't have a lot of windows in my house, I need to remind myself I deserve flowers. So I wandered my yard with my clippers and filled vases. I'm sure it looks weird to the neighbors as I pick out the best dandelion, throw off some branches, and prefer the shape of some specific hosta leaves.
It's been the best meditative day ever, I'm always thinking about structure, color, pattern in my artwork and nature has all of that,

WEEK END ROUND UP: 7/30 - 8/5 August 05 2016, 0 Comments
- NOISEY SEZ "RIGHT NOW, DIARRHEA PLANET MIGHT JUST BE THE BEST BAND IN THE UNIVERSE." AIN'T THAT THE DANG TRUTH. Read their interview with Jordan, in which they spread the Gospel of DP with words like "And by the power vested in me as a dude who is writing about them on the internet, let me tell you the Diarrhea Planet are motherfucking sick" and "everyone who's seen them live becomes a turbo-fan basically immediately". Then pick up their "third and by far best album" Turn To Gold!
- One week away from JEFF's new album, Zone!! Get pumped by streaming their latest single "Roachin", featuring vocals by Alicia from Bully. Yeah. Stereogum called it a "menacing, grumbling churner balanced and pierced by Bognanno's sultry tone," while the Nashville Cream described it as "sludge-kissed." Aww! Now preorder your copy of Zone today!
- Ed Schrader's Music Beat is hitting the road next week for the Last of the Summer's Wine Tour! (A tour name that really speaks to us.) Nashville, they're playing a free in-store at Third Man on the 26th so duck out of your day job early and make sure to catch em! Everybody else, peep the rest of the dates here.
- It's never too late to show that Colleen Green ICCS tape some love! French blog Les Orilles Curieuses praised its unrelenting fuzzy reverb, languid voice, and slice of life lyrics (if our high school French is holding up ok). Catch Colleen on tour in Paris and all over Europe this October with Cassie Ramone! Dates & tix here.
- Ex-Heavy Creamers Jessica, Mimi, and Dillon are back with a new band called SAVOY MOTEL, fronted by Jeffrey from Cheap Time. Okay so you already know that means it's gotta be good. But you don't know how great til you watch their new video for "Souvenir Shop Rock" on Noisey! Funky vocals to an even funkier tune - let's boogie!
- Jump over to IMPOSE for a great interview with Cyrus from Famous Class Records and Edan from Death By Audio (RIP) on their new 3-LP compilation "Start Your Own Fucking Show Space." SYOFSS features live cuts from the last month of DBA's shows, including JEFF The Brotherhood's "Heavy Damage" from their last night. Take a listen, then pick up your compilation at Famous Class.
- IT'S ART CRAWL TIME!!!! And lemme tell ya, this one's gonna be especially awesome. First up, the Infinity Cat Visitors Center and Gallery is so so so so so so so proud to present "Learn To Eat Alone," an exhibit of street photography by the 1 and only Wrenne Evans taken in London and New York over a period of two years. As always, we will have free drinks, cheap beer, snacks galore, music blastin, friendship forever, 6-9pm at the Cathouse.
- Down the street, our friends at Fort Houston will be showcasing art by Harry Kagan of Music Band, Tuff Gus, and kkbbkb followed by a FREE ALL-AGES DIARRHEA PLANET + GNARWHAL SHOW. If you're not in the neighborhood on Saturday night, buddy, we just don't know what to tell ya.

The Legend of ZorroDirector: Martin Campbell
The legendary Mexican hero returns to the screen in this swashbuckling sequel to the 1998 box-office hit The Mask of Zorro. It's 1850, and the people of California, eager to improve their difficult lot in life, have launched a campaign to become part of the United States. Don Alejandro de la Vega (Antonio Banderas) has become aware of a plot by moneyed Europeans to block the campaign for statehood through nefarious means, and it looks as if Alejandro's heroic alter ego, Zorro, may have to return to duty. However, Alejandro's wife, Elena (Catherine Zeta-Jones), has grown weary of his secret life, and she demands that he choose between his family and his clandestine career as a champion of the people. This leads to a rift between Alejandro and Elena, and the couple separates, with Alejandro moving out while Elena continues to care for their son, Joaquin (Adrian Alonso). A few months later, Alejandro finds that Elena is already being wooed by Armand (Rufus Sewell), a suave French nobleman who wants her hand in marriage. However, Alejandro also learns that Armand is actually part of a plot to prevent California from attaining statehood by tampering with an upcoming election; meanwhile, there may be more to Elena's involvement with Armand than romantic courtship. Zorro must come to the rescue of the people of California and perhaps his beloved Elena as well before they both fall into dangerous hands. The Legend of Zorro was directed by Martin Campbell, who performed the same duties on The Mask of Zorro.

THE LEGEND OF ZORRO is mindless entertainment. If you don't mind historical inaccuracies, you'll be entertained. All the actors are fine, especially the main characters of Antonio Banderas as Zorro and Catherine Zeta-Jones as his spunky wife and partner, Elena. The action is wonderfully staged if you don't wonder why they are fighting. As an intelligent person, who knows a little about American history, it was beyond me, why the writers, producers and director set the scene in 1850 California and yet kept talking about the Confederacy. The Civil War began in 1861. Yes, troubles were brewing in 1850 because of states rights and the admittance of states as slave or free, but no Confederates existed. Lincoln appears at the end of the movie, and no one heard of Lincoln in 1850. He wasn't all that important in 1850. Other inaccuracies abound, like 19th century Roman Catholics getting a divorce at the drop of a mask. If you're going to put history in movie as a motivation for the action, please make it as correct as possible. I'm sure most people won't be disturbed by these historical mistakes, but the Civil War is a milestone in the history of a people and it is a depravity to trivialize it in such a fashion. Another idiocy was the comic antics of Zorro's horse were they trying to make a Francis the Talking Mule picture? It was obvious, the fabricators of this flick were trying to make Zorro 9/11 but it just didn't work. – Leslie Strang Akers
I saw this 3 times in the theaters. It was so cool! It had action, comedy, and romance. As good as the first one. Never a dull moment!
The prequel to this movie is better, with Anthony Hopkins as the original Zorro, where he finds Antonio Banderas and trains him to take his place. However, this movie isn't bad at all, if you're looking to escape into some adventure. Other reviews complain about historical inaccuracy, but if that's what you want then go watch a documentary. This is a movie, a Hollywood fantasy! It's just for some fun action, where the hero gets the bad guys and his son finally realizes his dad is the mighty Zorro. The son in this movie is also a kick, making the movie fun to watch too.
After 8 yrs. we finally have another epee epic,still within tenure of Banderas as the swashing masked man by night and the swishing gentleman by day.We are treated to a whiplash of expertly crafted stunts,beautifully lensed set pieces,and steel-clashing swordplay.The poor Mexican proletariate are still harrassed by two-faced zealots who wish to exploit them until Zorro comes to their aid.Again, Banderas wears the mask of avenger to the hilt. Zeta-Jones returns as the raven-haired beauty that keeps Banderas' gloved hands full of bewilderment in learning to live with a very spirited and liberated senorita, and of course Anthony Hopkins is sorely missed. The core of the story(however somewhat historically flawed)is very similar to the Mummy Returns, in that we share another exploit of the adventure family triumvarate,right down to the heart-stopping train ride.Even so,there is more humor in this one as the trade offs come as strategically placed as the crack of a whip or the Z slash of a sword tip.Thankfully Campbell decided to change the ending so we can rest assured the dust has not settled on the sword-wielding masked man from Spanish California.
This movie could have been alot better. In this Zorro movie, I wouldn't have been surprised if he could have flown to the rescue. His character was too unhuman as far as what a person can do. Not really worth watching twice.
Though Anthony Hopkins is sorely missing from this sequel, it's still a really good movie. Lots and lots of action.
Antonio Banderas and Katherine Zeta-Jones return as Alejandro and Elena de la Vega. In this funny, hilarious and dramatic film, Alejandro, who has been Zorro to the people of California for 10 years, and his wife Elena, have a son, Joaquin. On the verge of joining the United States and its 30th state, California is threatened by a plot to destroy it and the Union. Elena is also threatened with the exposure of her husband by the Pinkertons(agents of the US government)unless she helps them discover the secrets of the man behind the plot, a French aristocrat who went to school with Elena in Spain. Although they are "divorced" at the Pinkertons instigation, Elena still loves Alejandro, and hilarity ensues as their investigations of the Frenchman collide! Throw in Nick Chinlund as MacGivens, the racist bad guy, and the plot thickens. The Pinkertons try their best to interfere with Elena and Alejandro, but with a little help from Joaquin(Adrian Alonso), Elena and Zorro battle the Frenchman, his minions, and save their family. Anyone who loves Zorro will love this movie!

furniturefave Review
color is right on!
the color of the sofa is just as pictured. More of a firm seat which is exactly what I wanted. The back of the sofa just slides in, so it rocked back and forth a little. I was going to try to screw the two pieces together, however, there didn't seemed to be an easy way to do that, so instead I wrapped painters tape around the metal post and that helped for now. If it gives me problems I will see about a more permanent solution, but for now it will have to do!

Reviews of Avalon Park Retirement Residence
Nyrie March 27, 2015
I visited this facility
The administration and staff of Avalon Park retirement residence are the most compassionate and caring crew I have seen within this industry. They have a high level of ethics and have treated my mother with the dignity and care she deserves. She is now on her 80th birthday but very opinionated. She has been with Avalon Park for over 3 years now. I recommend Andrew and his crew anytime. Keep up the good work!

I visited this facility
The Avalon Park Retirement Residence appeared well-maintained from the outside, with a nice exterior and lovely courtyard. The main foyer receiving area was like that of a a quaint country bed and breakfast. The exercise room had nice equipment and they also offered instructed classes. The communal areas all had interesting activities occurring, from reading to games and resident interactions. It was clear that the residents were enjoying themselves. Outings scheduled included restaurants, to art museums, the library, films, fine dining and theater. They also host parties and gatherings for residents, which they encourage family and friends to attend. Each living unit was a nice size and beautifully decorated. The dining areas were restaurant style, as were the meals. The food choices looked nutritious and delicious, as well as the regular snacks - offered regularly. This is a lovely facility with caring and attentive staff. All of the resident's needs appeared to be met in a caring and kind manner.

Those who worked to abolish slavery were called fanatics and told to keep their religious beliefs to themselves.
Of course people tell us the same thing today when we stand up for our preborn brothers and sisters.
This shirt is great for reminding people that without those religious fanatics slavery would not have been abolished.

National Nurses Week is May 6-12, and this year's theme—"The Balance of Mind, Body, and Spirit"—recognizes the spiritual dimension of nursing care. In fact, it suggests that without spiritual care, nursing is unbalanced.
Nurses Christian Fellowship, a ministry of InterVarsity, has been sharing the spiritual dimension of nursing care rooted in the Christian faith with student and professional nurses since its beginning in 1948. Today there are 997 students and 112 faculty members participating in 88 Nurses Christian Fellowship groups at U.S. colleges and universities. There are almost 300 professional nurses involved in 30 NCF local nurse chapters and 1,572 members of the NCF professional organization.
InterVarsity's Nurses Christian Fellowship helps nursing students, nursing faculty, and nursing professionals lay a foundation for their life and nursing practice that is centered in the love and truth of Jesus Christ. Author Darlene Sredl teaches at the University of Missouri, St. Louis. The following story, like the original Christmas story, is about a baby, inconvenience, a change of plans, and God's miraculous response. This account is a condensed version of a story which appeared in the April/June 2015 issue of the Journal of Christian Nursing.
For Immediate Release
(Madison, WI) -- The Journal of Christian Nursing (JCN), published by InterVarsity's Nurses Christian Fellowship (NCF) in partnership with Wolters Kluwer/Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, received recognition in four categories in the 2016 awards competition of the American Society of Healthcare Publication Editors (ASHPE).
(Madison, WI) --- Kathy Schoonover-Shoffner has been named national director of Nurses Christian Fellowship (NCF). She will begin her new duties in July 2016.
Kathy has served NCF as editor of the Journal of Christian Nursing (JCN) for the past 11 years. "Kathy brings over 35 years of experience and expertise to her new role: nurse, administrator, researcher, editor, and volunteer campus staff," said Paul Tokunaga, InterVarsity vice president and director of Strategic Ministries. "She is highly regarded in both the Christian and secular nursing worlds. But foremost, Kathy is passionate about seeing nursing students come to a saving faith in Jesus and then be salt and light in healthcare."
Healthcare professionals are often closest to some of the most intense physical suffering and pain. Because of this, Christians in healthcare have a unique opportunity to model Jesus' incarnational love, being his hands and feet in a visible, tangible way. Heather Cutillo, a registered nurse and InterVarsity alumna, has had firsthand experience with living out her faith in the nursing world, and has seen the ways that the love of God still shines brightly in the dark places.
As a graduate student at Rush University, training to become a pediatric nurse practitioner, Heather heard a call from God to work in the field of urban health ministry. At the time, she was responsible for a patient with many financial and other difficulties, whose only support was the health clinic where Heather was working. Seeing how urban health centers could be a support network for those without one opened her eyes to the ways God could use her through urban health work.
"Trusted to Care" is the theme of National Nurses Week (May 6-12). Polls show that nursing is one of the most trusted professions; nurses offer care and comfort to people during some of the most difficult times of their lives. It is a huge responsibility.
A nursing student attending the National Student Nursing Association convention last month wanted to know, "Can we talk about God with our patients?" Another student said, "I have so many questions about how to help my patients. I see they have spiritual questions and are afraid."
What do nursing students identify as their top spiritual need? At a recent convention for 3,000 nursing students, an interactive exhibit by Nurses Christian Fellowship asked delegates to tag their top choice: inner peace, significance, belonging, security or comfort. Which would you choose?
"We weren't sure what to expect when we asked the question," said Renee Lick, NCF Director of Student Ministries. "But students quickly opened up to us – sharing their struggles and spiritual needs.
Nurses Christian Fellowship, (NCF), is celebrating National Nurses Week this week, along with hospitals and other health care agencies around the country. National Nurses Week is traditionally celebrated during the week before the birthday of Florence Nightingale, May 12.
NCF director Pat Emery said that the week is a time not only to honor nurses for the work that they do and the sacrifices they make but also to let people know that there's a shortage of nurses.
The phone rings early in the morning and a voice says, "Donna, we are short-staffed today. Can you come in?" The nursing program is doing a curriculum revision, and everyone agrees to schedule extra meeting dates to ensure its completion. A volunteer at the church calls: "Steve, Mrs. Lin had hip surgery and is coming home. Can you coordinate a team of nurses to visit her daily?"
These requests and other professional expectations are part of everyday work for nurses in all areas of practice.
One of the benefits of her new job as director of Nurses Christian Fellowship (NCF) is that Pat Emery is no longer on call, as she has been for much of her professional life. She didn't realize how much she would appreciate that. "I'm not tied to a cell phone or a pager as I was," she says.
Now, instead of being responsible for the nursing care in one facility, she's responsible for the spiritual care of nursing caregivers across the country.
