Life Extension Animals Case Studies
It was five long days until the results came back. By then, Jack was barely hanging on. The report showed that Jack's kidneys were inflammed for no apparent reason. Little grains created by the immune system were filling up his kidneys, blocking the delicate filtering system. Something was needed that could counteract the inflammatory process. The vet decided that Jack needed an intensive program starting with N-acetylcysteine (NAC).
NAC is a form of the amino acid, cysteine, with multiple kidney-protective actions. The research on what NAC can do for the kidney (and the liver) is scientifically well-documented. In one recent study, researchers in Italy demonstrated that NAC normalizes creatinine levels in rodents with kidney failure. It reverses inflammation and restores filtration. Similar findings are reported by French researchers when NAC is given as a pretreatment before experimental kidney damage in rats. Without NAC, there is a 68% reduction in the ability of the kidneys to do their job. With it, the loss of kidney function is only 29%. A third study confirms that an infusion of NAC before and after experimental kidney damage doubles the kidney filtration rate. NAC is strong medicine for the kidneys. It has no adverse side effects, even when small animals like cats are given a human dose.
The veterinarian started Jack on 100 mg of NAC twice a day, plus a new diet of raw beef and chicken and 100 mg of DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone). DHEA is critical for an important kidney enzyme known as sulfotransferase. People with kidney disease have depleted levels of DHEA. Research shows that DHEA and NAC probably work synergistically, which is why they were given together.
Within 24 hours of receiving NAC and DHEA, Jack began eating like a normal cat. He continued to vomit for several days (a side effect of kidney failure), but two weeks from the date of surgery, his BUN had dropped from 152mg/dl to 45.6mg/dl and he was up and around. At that point, the supplements were cut in half. A month later, Jack's blood tests were normal. That was over a year ago and Jack is still doing great. He is maintained on a high-protein diet along with 50 mg of NAC and 25 mg of DHEA a day.
Zoe, the hairless dog
Zoe was beginning to look more like a chihauhau than a Yorkshire terrier. The little dog belonging to Lynne and Frank Burger scratched at her back constantly, but nothing they did seemed to help. She was going bald. And not only that, she never wanted to play with her buddy, "Mr. Pug," anymore. She seemed to have nervous energy but no real energy. Smallest in a household of ten dogs, Zoe had a special treat added to her dry food: a "gourmet" food from the grocery store.
"Flea allergy" or "food allergy" is a common diagnosis for animals loosing their hair. It's a quick, eye-ball diagnosis rarely accompanied by laboratory tests. The cure is usually steroids plus one of the new pesticides that is put on the back of the animal and absorbed through the skin. The problem is that fleas are only one of many things that can cause hair loss, which is usually accompanied by some sort of skin disorder.
Researchers from Hungary recently reported that 17 dogs treated with pesticides, "restricted diets," steroids, antibiotics and other medications did not respond because they were infected with microorganisms that are not usually regarded as a problem. Yet when the bugs were eradicated with the proper drugs, the dogs got well. This points out the importance of finding the root cause of a persistent problem.
Another cause of hair loss is poor nutrition. There is considerable evidence that the nutritional requirements for dogs depends on the breed. It appears that dogs prone to certain disorders also require certain dietary needs. English setters, for example, can inherit a terrible disease called Batten disease which causes the brain to shrink. It is accompanied by abnormally low levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids and the amino acid, carnitine. Researchers at Indiana University wanted to see if it would help to supplement the animals diets' with carnitine, fish and corn oil. It did. Carnitine greatly reduced cognitive decline, and the combination reduced brain atrophy and extended lifespan 10%.
In 1988, veterinarians at the University of California at Davis reported on 13 dogs that had been eating a generic dry, corn and wheat-based dog food. The dogs were depressed and lethargic. They had swollen lymph nodes and, worst of all, they had scaly, crusting areas where their fur was falling out. The dog food the owners were feeding did not state that it met minimum nutritional requirements (AAFCO). When the animals were put on a higher-quality dog food, the animals began to get better within days.
Aging and dementia in dogs
Elderly dogs can act like elderly people who aren't quite "with it." The "not with it" part is caused by damage to brain cells-damage that accumulates over time. A small percentage of dogs can go on to develop an Alzheimer's-like condition. (Although under the microscope, doggie AD does not have all of the same features as human AD.) Symptoms of brain aging in dogs include sleep disorders, forgetting house-training, lethargy, disinterest, confusion about going in or out of doors, hiding and getting lost.
There are various supplements an owner can give their animals to protect them from degenerative diseases. DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone), for example, is a hormone secreted by the adrenal glands that declines drastically with age. In a study from Purdue University, 100 mg/kg of DHEA a day given as a supplement for seven months to elderly dogs reduced the percentage of brain cells with extensive DNA damage by 42%. This shows that even an elderly animal can benefit from anti-aging interventions. In the same study, damage to the dogs' immune cells was cut in half. This is good health news for pet owners. Note that both types of cells (immune and brain) are extensively damaged in people with Alzheimer's disease. Its antioxidant action may account for DHEA's ability to protect these vital cells.
There are other methods to protect the brain as well. When the Science Diet® people went looking for a supplement that could help aging dogs stay alert, they focused on two important aspects of brain aging: energy and free radical damage.
The brain's energy is generated by sub-cellular structures called "mitochondria." When mitochondria make energy, free radicals are created. Free radicals, in turn, damage mitochondrial DNA. Damaged DNA, in turn, prevents the little power plants from producing energy efficiently. The vicious cycle is accelerated by age.
The brain is very susceptible to free radical damage because of its high fat content and high demand for energy. One of the most powerful brain antioxidants is alpha lipoic acid, also known as lipoic, or thioctic acid. Lipoic acid has multiple actions. On one level, it restores and maintains other antioxidants including vitamins C and E, and the natural antioxidant, glutathione, which is diminished in the brains of elderly dogs. Lipoic acid also enhances the level of coenzyme Q10, an energy-related enzyme, and restores arachidonic acid in brain cells to youthful levels. Arachidonic acid is absolutely critical for learning and remembering. Researchers have demonstrated that restoring arachidonic acid to youthful levels through supplements increases the ability of neurons to respond. In other words, arachidonic acid may be the key to teaching an old dog new tricks.
Additionally, lipoic acid can chelate iron and other metals, keeping them from fueling free radical chain reactions. By itself, lipoic acid is highly protective of brain cells, but there is another element that can be combined with it that makes it even more powerful: carnitine
Scientifically-proven anti-aging combination
Carnitine is an amino acid that has a special role in energy production. It transports fuel into mitochondria for conversion to energy-ATP. Carnitine levels decline with age, and so does its transport. By supplementing with carnitine, studies show that old mitochondria can have the energy production of young mitochondria. In a stunning report that was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science, researchers at the University of California at Berkeley showed that elderly rats given L-carnitine doubled their activity to a level approaching that of young rats. (Young rats given L-carnitine were like five year-olds on jet fuel). Researchers were able to correlate increased activity with increased energy production in the animals' mitochondria.
As great as it was to get the old mice up and going again, their increased energy came with a price: a 30% increase in free radicals. This is where lipoic acid comes into the picture. When the same researchers added lipoic acid to the L-carnitine supplements, oxidative stress was reduced to the level of youngsters and physical activity was even greater than that achieved with lipoic acid alone. Memory was enhanced, and when the researchers looked at the hippocampus-a brain structure having to do with memory-they found that the combination of L-carnitine and lipoic acid actually kept the mitochondria from aging.
For years nobody paid much attention to the diets of their cats and dogs. They got the scraps off the table, or the mice from the barn and that was about it. But when these animals began being used in laboratories, it became imperative to know their nutritional requirements. "Complete and balanced nutrition" pet food is a billion dollar offshoot of "lab chows." The industry has contributed substantially to understanding the nutritional requirements of our "best friends." But science is moving on now, beyond what it takes to keep an animal on its feet, to what it takes to keep an animal healthy in the long run. New research shows that cats and dogs respond positively to some of the same supplements we take. Lower vet bills and happier animals is our reward for optimal nutrition.

When your first two albums are titled "I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love" ('02) and "Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge," ('04) you know My Chemical Romance has a skewed world view. No wonder, they're from New Jersey.
Remember watching Breakfast Monkey on the Cartoon Network? No? Well, it's not because of damaged brain cells or general forgetfulness. Nor is it because the Cartoon Network is little more than a blur of second rate animation populated with gags no self-loathing class clown would touch. You see, Breakfast Monkey came close to hitting cable but never quite got there. Here's why. Gerard Way had flirted with music in his teens but gave it up to draw, eventually attending the School of Visual Arts in New York. From there he made a connection with the Cartoon Network and pitched them on the idea of a flying simian capable of producing a breakfast out of thin air. But the events of 9/11/01 and seeing the group Thursday perform at a small, lightly attend club gig, caused Way to rethink his career choices. He abandoned Breakfast Monkey and returned to music and something more substantial.
Rock music can be cathartic. Jumping around slamming out chords or beating a drum kit to death blows away life's troubles. Songwriting is another good way to deal with unwanted traumas - or at least make some sense of them. Singer Way, who suffered through severe depression and a serious family illness, partnered with drummer Matt Pelissier to write some songs. Their first effort, which also made it on to My Chemical Romance's debut was "Skylines And Turnstiles." That was a positive experience so the next step was to build a group to perform their songs. Guitarist Ray Toro signed on. He was followed by Mikey Way (that would be Gerard's brother) and guitarist Frank Iero.
The name My Chemical Romance was procured from cult writer Irvine Walsh's novel Ecstasy - Three Tales Of Chemical Romance. Walsh also wrote Trainspotting.
The group played high-energy shows in Goth-Rock attire throughout the northeast. It paid off. They were signed to Eyeball Records. "I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love" with "Honey, This Mirror Isn't Big Enough For The Two Of Us," "Headfirst for Halos," and "Vampires Will Never Hurt You" was produced by Thursday's vocalist Geoff Rickly. That led critics to mercilessly compare the two groups.
For the better part of the next two years My Chemical Romance played throughout North America and Europe, either as a headliner or co-billed with The Used and other groups.
My Chemical Romance's time with Eyeball was relatively short. Moving to Reprise/Warner in '03 they released "Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge" the following year. Probably to get away from the Thursday comparisons the album was produced by Howard Benson, who had worked with Motorhead, P.O.D. and Hoobstank. Containing 'I'm Not Okay (I Promise)," "You Know What They Do To Guys Like Us In Prison" and "I Never Told You What I Do For A Living," My Chemical Romance was again drawing a quirky personal experiences as their main inspiration. Once the album was released the group did the Vans Warped Tour before hitting Japan and the U.K. Amid all this, Pelisser left and was replaced by Chicago native Bob Bryar.
The live CD/DVD "Life On The Murder Scene" was issued in '06. Later that year, the group unfurled "The Black Parade." The album almost didn't get completed because Way was in a bad way, suffering from crippling depression. "I went through a crisis. I was examining every awful thing about myself," said the singer. "I was living inside the record. It was a dark time."
Apparently, all the anguish was worth it. "The Black Parade" sold 240,000 copies in its first week to land at #2 (behind Disney's "Hannah Montana" soundtrack) on the Billboard 200 chart. My Chemical Romance unveiled their second live album "The Black Parade Is Dead!" in July, '08.
About the group's planned '10 release, Way stated in a Spinner.com interview that Judas Priest and the film, Blade Runner, were inspirations.
"Judas Priest is considered Metal, but it's great Rock n' Roll," said Way. "{They have} everything to do with the birth of power-anthem Metal." As for Blade Runner director Ridley Scott, Way added "he was very strong in his vision." Scott, who regarded Blade Runner as his "most complete and personal film" was known for stylish visuals and an obsession for detail. A box-office disappointment in '82, the film has often been ranked as one of the most important science fiction films of the 20th century.
Way also felt that the '10 album, 'Danger Days: The True Lives Of The Fabulous Killjoys," would be the group's defining work. That sort of statement is expected. Though not usually written in the job description, a frontman's primary responsibility is to the hype the band and their latest release. But Way took a slightly different approach for this set - namely dissing the band's past and popular albums. "A friend who heard the record recently said he now had no interest in listening to our older work anymore, that we had made all our old material redundant," said Way. "I took it as a compliment."
Way went even further. "Over the years that we've been hearing ourselves live and hearing us on records, we kind of prefer the live. There's more of a garage feel and more energy. I think the band misses being a Rock band."
In the run up to the release of "Danger Days: The True Lives Of The Fabulous Killjoys," My Chemical Romance recorded a cover of Bob Dylan's "Desolation Row" which was heard during the end credits of the '09 film Watchman.
Considering Way's comment above, a live set seemed like a natural. "Venganza!," a collection of videos filmed in Mexico City came out later in the year.
However, My Chemical Romance's return to the limelight did not go unimpeded - there was Bryar's departure. "This was a painful decision for all of us to make and was not taken lightly," said the band in a 03/03/10 statement. "We wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors and expect you all to do the same." Michael Pedicone stepped in as the tour drummer.
"Danger Days: The True Lives Of The Fabulous Killjoys," featured the catchy "Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)." "It ("Danger Days') brings back, lyrically, some of that wonderful fiction from the first album," added Way. So maybe their earlier work wasn't so 'unimportant' after all.
Usually when a band releases an album or does something intriguing - or just plain stupid - critics come out of the woodwork to either praise or pounce. But sometimes a big gust just comes out of the blue. Fox News Channel anchor Glenn Beck blasted an episode of the Fox TV show "Glee" in which the cast performed My Chemical Romance's anthem, "Sing." After railing against the show's 'morals' Beck took aim at "Sing." "Pay attention to the lyrics," he cautioned. "This is propaganda; it's an anthem saying 'Join us.' How can you and I possibly win against that?" A few days later, Way responded on the band's website dismissing Beck's criticism.
"I think the word Glenn Beck was looking for was 'subversion' not 'propaganda,' because I don't know what [the lyrics] would be considered propaganda for? Truth? Sentiment?" Way wrote. "And I can't tell what he's angrier about, the fact that it's how I feel about the persistent sterilization of our culture, or the fact that it's on network television for everyone to hear." "Sing," had recently been re-released as a charity single for Japanese earthquake and tsunami relief.
In late '12, My Chemical Romance began releasing ten tracks over five months (2 per month), as part of the Conventional Weapons set list. All of the songs were recorded during the '09 sessions which were eventually scrapped in favor of the material released on "Danger Days: The True Lives Of The Fabulous Killjoys."
"They may shed a little more light on how and where "Danger Days" came from," wrote Iero on the band's official site.
On 3/22/13, My Chemical Romance unexpectedly announced they had broken up. "We've been able to see and experience things we never imagined possible," said a band statement. "We shared the stage with people we admire, people we look up to, and best of all, our friends."
A few days later, Way shared his thoughts in a lengthy letter. "We were spectacular," wrote Way. "My Chemical Romance is done. But it can never die." Way added that the band wanted to end before moving in uncomfortable directions.
My Chemical Romance subsequently issued "May Death Never Stop You," a greatest hits compilation featuring the single "Fake Your Death," which they called their eulogy song.
Post-eulogy, Way presented his solo debut album in '14, "Hesitant Alien." "I always felt like an alien," he stated.
Back on earth, Iero was seriously injured when a vehicle crashed into an equipment van while he and crew members were unloading it. "We're pretty banged up but miraculously alive and in stable condition," tweeted Iero following the '16 accident which occurred in Sydney, Australia. "I'm still in a state of shock."

Way calls My Chemical Romance's music 'violent, unsafe pop music." He's got a point. They offer a melodic, Punk driven, gloom and doom, take on life.
In My Chemical Romance's world Punk gets cut a lot of different ways. Regardless of the ratio of Punk to other elements they usually nail it.

Award-winning artist, author, and teacher Elin Noble was inspired to create Vox Stellarum by the 18th century prints of German theologian Jakob Scheucher, who believed science and sacred scriptures were not mutually exclusive. For the series, Noble utilizes the itajime clamp-resist process of folding and clamping the silk organza, then selectively removing the sericin (silk gum). The result: an exquisite interplay between transparency and opaqueness, and a subtle shifting of moiré patterns when pieces are hung together and the cloth gently moves.
"I seek to fill the room with the transformative qualities of cloth in space." – Elin Noble

One cliché I've done my best to stay away from while writing about Erin's illness is the common, Hollywood perception of mental illness as something that can be "beaten," if the sufferer has enough willpower. I'm as guilty as any of romanticizing a fairly grim topic, but I've never liked the way fiction tends to present mental illness as a character flaw. Only a complete shitrag would tell a blind person to "suck it up and learn to see," yet telling someone with clinical depression to "get over it" isn't considered grounds for a punch in the tits, which is infuriating.
So, my point is, when Erin tells Erin to "stop whining" and stop feeling sorry for herself, that's specific to her character and her view or herself. It isn't a commentary on mental illness in general, and it certainly isn't a condemnation of sufferers who don't put on a happy face for other people's benefit.
In other news, I wrote my first professional review last week. Henry and I are currently working on a second short comic in the vein of Blue Rose of Illium, and we're on the verge of launching another webcomic on our own site. I'll talk about those projects later on.

A Bed That Knows You're Snoring? Yes…and it Corrects the Issue, Too
Does your bed warm your lower half – and know exactly when to do it in preparation for your regular bedtime? Does it provide support for pressure points with space-age technology? How about your snoring – does it detect that…and even potentially fix the issue?
The Sleep Number 360 does, at least according to marketers of the item. A step up from the It Bed and due out this year, the Sleep Number 360 performs better than perhaps any bed to date, at least according to claims.
"The bed reborn," according to its advertisements, some of the new bed's amazing tricks include:
- heats the lower quadrant prior to bedtime, giving a relaxing "hot water bottle at the foot of the bed" effect
- adjustable firmness
- an app that lets you track sleep patterns
- a sensor to detect when you've begun snoring, that automatically raises the head of the bed when you do
- inflatable/deflatable air chambers for best support of the body and its pressure points, and automatic firmness adjustment in response to your movements
- detection of patterns, such as waking to use the restroom, and gentle illumination in preparation so you can see where you're going
- Fitbit integratability
Pricing for the bed has not yet been made available. The It Bed queen mattress retails at $1099. Watch the information video here. Also see this fun and upbeat mini-review. Reviews on various Sleep Number beds can be accessed here.
Founded in 1987, Select Comfort markets the Sleep Number brand of beds and bedding as its top brand and currently holds or has applied for 23 patents, including the new bed.

Madhya Pradesh chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan bowed to public pressure on Tuesday and recommended a CBI probe into a snowballing examination scandal that has bruised his government's credibility with people connected to the case dying mysteriously.
Chouhan announced the decision at a hurriedly-called press conference in Bhopal and his government filed a plea in the state high court to allow a central inquiry into the Vyapam scam that saw widespread rigging of competitive exams for entry into Madhya Pradesh's professional education institutes, with everybody from students and politicians to bureaucrats and doctors under suspicion.
"In a democracy, the ruler should be above suspicion," he said. "There are questions on people's minds…I bow my head to people's wishes."
Analysts see the move as an attempt by the chief minister to deflate the Opposition's campaign for his resignation with the Supreme Court set to hear a raft of pleas on July 9 from Congress leader Digvijaya Singh and others seeking an apex court-monitored CBI probe into the scam and the spate of deaths.
With a police constable questioned in the case found hanging at his home on Monday, activists and opposition parties pointed to more than 40 mysterious deaths of accused, beneficiaries, whistleblowers and witnesses, but state officials put the death count at a little over two dozen and said most resulted from "natural causes".
"If we want a neutral probe, then the chief minister should resign," said Congress leader Jyotiraditya Scindia. "We want to clarify that if there has to be transparency, then he (Chouhan) should not object to an SC-monitored probe."
The scam has also exposed fissures within the BJP, political observers say, as senior party leader and union minister Uma Bharti told a TV channel on Monday the state government was scuttling the investigation and the chief minister's role should be probed.
"There is panic in Madhya Pradesh due to the deaths. I am scared for the lives of people connected to me. I am a minister but still I am scared," she told India Today.
Chouhan's announcement came a day after union home minister Rajnath Singh ruled out a CBI inquiry, saying a Madhya Pradesh high court-monitored special task force (STF) was already investigating the scam.
The Congress has been gunning for the chief minister and has also targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his silence on the issue that has sparked nationwide outrage.
But union law minister DV Sadananda Gowda triggered a controversy on Tuesday, arguing that the PM, who is on a five-nation Central Asia tour, need not comment on every "silly issue".
"See, certain issues which are so simple issues, so silly issues that they need not be answered by the Prime Minister," he said. "Our home minister (Rajnath Singh), ministers of concerned departments and even my party (president Amit Shah have answered everything. For each and every silly issue Prime Minister has to answer. It is not fair."
At least 2,000 people have been arrested and another 500 are wanted in the scam that was unearthed in 2013 with multiple rackets that helped candidates rig the examinations for money, including employing imposters to write test papers, manipulating seating arrangements as well as supplying forged answer sheets.

Latin America and the Caribbean is predicted to be the first region to achieve universal energy access. Access to electricity in the region is currently 95%. However, the Energy Division at the IDB recognizes that reaching the last 30 million people will require planning and coordination. Ensuring universal access to modern energy services has far reaching social and economic benefits for society. The Latin America and Caribbean region is very close to achieving universal access. In electricity this means advancing from 95% to 100% access and this requires an even larger investment and a new set of solutions.

Wasatch Back Ragnar Veteran!
Just before my 3rd run wearing my very own official Ragnar "Runner" shirt
What an amazing experience! You honestly don't really understand what it is like until you experience it. Our team ran the 188 miles in 28 hours 43 minutes. I personally ran 3 hours of that and 13 of the miles... on 3 hours of sleep. I ran 3 legs each between 4 and 5 miles. The first leg was in the heat through the gorgeous farmland of Eden (seriously that was what the town is called). My next leg was between 1:30am and 2:30am up Hogback Summit from East Canyon State Park. It was a fabulous run with clear starry skies and a cool breeze, quiet and almost peaceful except for the cars driving by and the fact that the uphill seemed to stretch on forever! My last leg was 4.6 miles and was completed in the driving rain with lots of friendly runners with a smile and a wave of encouragement as they passed me by.
This is Creighton on his first run at dusk (all runners have to wear the reflector vest and blinking red light on their back and a headlamp between 8pm and 7am). This was the same run he did last year -only I got to be there to see him come in :)
Everyone had to run up some form of a mountain, summit etc. Some had long runs 7 to 9.6 miles for instance, or short 3.6 miles (straight up a mountain)This is our friend Doug Phillips who ran the 3.6 mile precurser to the actual "Ragnar" leg. It is hard to tell from the picture but his entire leg was a steep 7.6% grade. It was very physically challeging even for a good runner like Doug! Aaron ran the "Ragnar" leg and did it with 10min miles, and 24 kills! Incredible!
The elements conspired to give us the ultimate experience and extremes-- it was perfect! Just before Craig began his/our team's final leg he was saying to himself... please let the rain stop,please please please. So the rain stopped, the sun came out; however, the minute we all crossed the finish line together it began to pour again. So we hurried and got our picture taken and ran to our cars. I don't have a finish line picture yet except the official one which I assume will post in a couple of days.
This is an example of what a relay exchange looked like. Runners standing around waiting to take off on their run. Spectators, teammates waiting to cheer their runner in... orange tape and orange cones to designate the exchange area. Cars driving by on their way to the next exchange or following their runners Exchanges could be just as fun as the time in the vehicles there was always an air of excitement, people bragging about their "kills" (the number of runners they had passed on their runs), looking for teams that our van was keeping pace with to see if we'd gained any time on them. Looking at all the crazy decorating on the vehicles! Ours was pretty tame compared to some- sorry no pictures.
This is Natanya Nielsen, my neighbor and wife of our team captain Aaron, she was our secret weapon! She did sports massage for everyone in both vans for the entire 24 hours. She was also the only other female in the van with me so I was so glad she was along. She got even less sleep than the rest of us.
This is Doug and Aaron chatting about Doug's 9 miler. Time in the vans was spent talking about the highlights of the just finished run, joking about kills, laughing at the funny slogans and decorating on the other vehicles and cheering any and all runners on as we passed, sleeping (although never very well), snacking and listening to the sage advise of more experienced runners ahem... Aaron.
This is Ryan he was the youngest member of our team at 14. He did great!
This gorgeous view was from the car on the leg for which the Ragnar is famous... it is a view of the valley of Midway from the dirt road that goes over the mountain and drops down into Deer Valley. Notice how green everything is this year thanks to all the rain!
Well here's to all the insane people who took part in this amazing race! I now know why it is so addicting, why everyone can't wait to do it again! It is, as I said, an experience to be experienced!

'Not trying to neg': State Dept. blasted for travel advice to 'ugly' people
On Wednesday, the agency's Bureau of Consular Affairs took to Twitter to offer Americans practical travel advice when traveling overseas, using the hashtag #springbreakingbadly.
Make sure your passport has at least 6 months validity left! Some countries will turn you around if not. #springbreakingbadly— Travel - State Dept (@TravelGov) March 25, 2016
Most of the advice using the hashtag was innocuous, but things took a personal turn in one tweet that has since been deleted.
"Not a '10' in the US?" the department asked, referring to a rating of physical attractiveness. "Then not a 10 overseas. Beware of being lured into buying expensive drinks or worse—being robbed."
"Not a '10' in the US? Then not a 10 overseas."😂This tweet (before they deleted it) by the USStateDept was AWESOME! pic.twitter.com/sNb1Z02zgy— Ava (@silentnite22) March 31, 2016
The tweet was meant to be a clever way to warn people about scams that rely on flattery, but many criticized the tweet for being condescending or even sexist.
The State Department, however, rebuked these claims, pointing out that it didn't mention gender and that it's wasn't trying "neg" anyone, referring the tactic of using backhanded compliment when flirting.
@gonicholasgo We made no mention of gender. This can happen to anyone unfortunately.— Travel - State Dept (@TravelGov) March 30, 2016
@caitlinrcruz@TimHerrera we're not trying to neg anyone - just trying to warn folks about overseas scam artists.— Travel - State Dept (@TravelGov) March 30, 2016
Others on Twitter found humor in the tweet, and criticized those outraged at it for being too sensitive.
[THE STATE DEPARTMENT SPOTS YOU DRUNK AT THE CLUB] "your American accent isn't mysterious OR sexy. god, I'm calling you an Uber"— Matt Pearce (@mattdpearce) March 30, 2016
For the record, that @TravelGov tweet is the funniest thing any federal government account has ever tweeted. Stop being so sensitive.— Lachlan Markay (@lachlan) March 30, 2016
A parody account was created, with tweets dedicated to lampooning the agency's misfire.
if you are not a "10" at home and a foreign national expresses interest in your "personality," immediately exit the bar. This is a SET-UP.— Travel Gov (@Travel_Gov) March 31, 2016
Hours after making its ill-fated tweet, the agency issued an apology, adding that it was only trying to issue useful advice.
Some have been offended by our earlier tweet and we apologize that it came off negatively 1/2— Travel - State Dept (@TravelGov) March 30, 2016
We see many Americans fall victim to scams each year & want all to be careful while traveling 2/2— Travel - State Dept (@TravelGov) March 30, 2016

Whether you need to absorb odors or add a gentle scent to a room, these air fresheners are the perfect choice. Many brands come with extra benefits, such as allergen and dust mite reduction. Select the perfect scent for your home with products from brands such as Febreze, Glade, and Air Wick.
Pleasant Scents
Air fresheners come in a variety of scents to create a pleasant atmosphere in your home or office. The fragrances linger in the air, leaving your space smelling fresh and eliminating odors. Celebrate the holidays with seasonal scents such as peppermint and pumpkin pie, or choose a versatile floral scent for year-round use.
Easy Dispersal
Using these air fresheners is a breeze, so you can spend less time cleaning and dealing with unpleasant odors. Spray bottles enable you to regulate the amount of fragrance in any given area. For a more hands-off approach, select a desktop freshener that automatically dispenses scent at regular intervals.
Compact Design
Each of these air fresheners takes up a minimal amount of space, so you can freshen your space without bulky equipment. Tuck them into small corners, or rest them in an open space on a bookshelf. For maximum space-saving benefits, choose a model that plugs into a power outlet and reduces floor clutter.
Use air fresheners to enhance or update your decor. Choose a flower-shaped model to add fragrance to your air and brighten a room. For an unassuming and elegant option, select an oil burner with a decorative frame. In a modern space, choose a wall-mounted unit that blends into your decor without drawing attention to itself.

Learning to Love Legumes
Guest Post Sally Marchini – Dietitian
When you were a child, were legumes amongst the foods that you really disliked the flavour/texture of? Do you still avoid them?
Just recently I've had a few clients telling me that they just can't stand legumes, and when I dig a bit deeper it's usually not such a dire 'hate' as they imagined. So I thought we'd look at the various types with yummy ways to include them and have a closer look at their fibre and carb/GI levels.
In our last blog about legumes entitled 'Legumes Rock' we found out that:
"Legumes are truly amazing plants. They are high in all three types of fibre (soluble, insoluble and resistant starch), they are high in protein and low-glycemic carbohydrates so keep your appetite satisfied for longer, and they are incredibly versatile and inexpensive. They're also full of vitamins, minerals and plant chemicals. Once you start a healthy habit of including them every day, you won't want to stop."
So when I ask these clients, "what is it about them that you dislike?", some say it's the texture, some say it's how they look, some say "they're too dry". And in every case we're able to help by making suggestions to try them that might avoid the 'issue' they seem to have.
What's your issue?
When you consider that they're budget friendly (especially when you buy the dried varieties that take just a little more preparation) and can sit in your pantry for a long time (especially the tinned varieties), they allow you to have on hand the makings of many easy and delicious recipes.
Do you ever wonder "what can I add to this salad to make it more interesting or to add the low-GI carb that I need, or to add the protein/fibre that I need, or even just to make it into a one-pot meal?"? Half a tin (per person) of 80c (Coles own brand price) legumes of your choice could well be the answer.
Learning to love them
If it's been a while, why not give this a try?
Taking a single creamy coloured cannellini bean from a tin and squeezing it between your fingers, see how the smooth and delicate outer casing protects the bean's shape and also keeps your fingers clean. The velvety inside squishes with hardly any pressure and shows you how easy these are to mash. Warmed through and smashed together with the velvety richness of extra virgin olive oil the flavours remind me of holidays in Italy.
A great option is to consider replacing mashed potato or rice with them. Fresh herbs also compliment the flavours wonderfully.
Types and descriptions and good ways to use them
The Grains and Legumes Council explains: "Legumes (also known as pulses) include all forms of beans and peas – dried, canned, cooked and frozen. Among the well known legumes are butter beans, haricot (navy) beans, cannellini beans, red kidney beans, adzuki beans, black-eyed beans, soybeans, chickpeas, faba bean, field pea, lentils, lupin, mung bean and peanuts."
A comparison
This table looks at some of the more popular types so you can see how good they are, remembering that any number under 55 means it's low-GI.
|GI rating
|Cannellini beans
|Chick peas
|Red kidney beans
|Baked beans
|Field peas (or split peas)
The data for this table was taken from the Sydney University GI website, and CalorieKing.com.au.
This comparison demonstrates that the variety of legumes all have similar excellent values from a diabetes point of view. Therefore, depending on your tastes, you could try them in many different ways and know that they'll be helping your health.
Some simple ideas to try
- Cannellini beans – delightfully soft and creamy
- add half a tin to your omelette or frittata
- mash as a side with olive oil instead of mashed potato or rice
- add to salads
- whizz into a dip with garlic, lemon, olive oil and other yummies
- Chick peas – slightly firmer texture providing a soft, nutty crunch
- try them as hummus for your snacks
- roast them to produce a crunchy snack with added spices for more flavour
- add them to salads, casseroles and soups
- Lentils – small in size but they bring so much unassuming value to
- curries
- soups
- dahl (a simply prepared stew based around lentils and other split legumes)
- Red kidney beans – the colour makes them appealing to add variety
- often used in Mexican dishes such as Chilli con carne and tacos
- great in salads, casseroles and soups
- Baked beans – such an easy staple in any pantry
- perfect on a slice of multigrain toast (watching the carb serves) with an egg on top
- even straight out of the tin if you're pushed for time and inspiration
- Field peas (or split peas) – cooks down to a pulp-like texture
- traditionally cooked in soups to add a thickened, creamy texture such as in pea and ham soup.
To finish up I encourage you to look at this resource that is provided by the Grains and Legumes Council called 'Legumes – tips and tricks to enjoy them more often', and remind you that for the health benefits to take effect you should be aiming to have a serve (75g or half a cup of cooked) of a variety of different legumes at least four times per week.
If you'd like to know more and have links to some recipes and other ideas, take another look at the first blog on this topic 'Legumes Rock'.
Hoping I've inspired you to give a few of these varieties a try, especially if it's because you did have an aversion when you were a child. Perhaps it was the way they were prepared, or even just 'the idea' of them. As an adult with more mature taste buds it's definitely time for a re-try. Enjoy!

Dear Parishioners,
As the Bears get set to play the Packers this Thursday I take great consolation in the last line from today's Gospel: "Thus, the last will be first and the first will be last" (Matt 20:16). The Bears have been "last" a lot of late, while the Packers have been "first." Enjoy it now, Cheeseheads. Our time is coming.
But this isn't what I want to focus on this week. Jesus gives us the parable about the workers who are brought in at different parts of the day to labor in the field. They all receive the same wage. The ones who work eight hours receive the same pay as the ones who work one hour.

First Committee of the 69th Session of the General Assembly- 8 October 2014
At the General Debate of the First Committee of the 69th Session of the UN General Assembly on the 8 October 2014 the following States spoke on the topics of small arms and light weapons (SALW) and the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT): Algeria, Australia, Brunei Darussalam, Cuba, Denmark, France, Libya, Malaysia, New Zealand, Republic of Korea, Senegal, Spain and Switzerland.
Algeria, Cuba, Malaysia, and Senegal highlighted the importance of United Nations Programme of Action (UNPoA) and stated that international cooperation and assistance is essential for the proper implementation of the instrument. Malaysia reaffirmed its belief in the UNPoA mechanism as an important forum where confidence building measures on SALW can be consensually agreed upon. Algeria noted that the UNPoA, along with the International Tracing Instrument (ITI), are of utmost relevance and a full, balanced and effective implementation process is of extreme importance. Cuba, on its part, highlighted the need for more specific progress in the implementation of the UNPoA in order to see more effective results.
Algeria, Malaysia, Senegal, and Spain noted the success of the 5th Biennial Meeting of States (BMS5) on the UNPoA in June 2014 and welcomed the adoption by consensus of the outcome document. Spain also expressed that it is necessary to move forward with new measures that address the illicit arms trade from other perspectives to help achieve real results in the short term.
Brunei Darussalam stressed that information sharing and capacity building are important in order to curb the illicit trafficking of arms and believe that activities must be properly monitored not only by countries that procure these weapons but also by those manufacturing them.
Australia, Denmark, France, Libya, Malaysia, New Zealand, Republic of Korea, Senegal, Spain and Switzerland discussed the recent 50th ratification of the ATT which sparked the countdown of the entry into force on the 24 December 2014. France and New Zealand noted that the adoption and ratification of the treaty illustrates the effective multilateralism and collective determination of the international community. Malaysia, Denmark and Senegal expressed the need for a fair, balanced and objective manner in implementing the ATT. Senegal further noted that it is essential that all States are protected under the treaty and not just the major exporting States while Denmark encouraged more countries to ratify the treaty, in addition to stating the importance of ratification by major arms suppliers. Libya specified that the right of States to acquire, manufacture, export, import, and retain conventional arms and their parts and components for self-defense and security purposes should not be affected, and that no double standards should occur when dealing with the trade of arms between countries.
Spain emphasized that the control of arms exports is now linked to human rights and international humanitarian law and New Zealand stated that implementation of the Treaty is key to reaping the human security and development outcomes. Further, New Zealand noted it has been working closely with countries of the Pacific region on the drafting of Model Legislation to assist with the translation of the Treaty's commitments into domestic frameworks. It announced that its Model has now been completed and is available in hard copy and e-format.
Denmark did acknowledge that this treaty will not solve all issues of the illicit trade in arms and that progress would have to be made in ensuring that the unregulated trafficking of arms, particularly in third countries, is addressed at an international level. It emphasized the need to establish incentives, guidelines, norms, and standards that would induce arms supplying companies to do the right thing.
New Zealand further acknowledged the ongoing support of civil society during the processes of the ATT.
On the topic of the Secretariat of the ATT, Switzerland expressed its view that Geneva would fit the requirements as the location for the Secretariat.
This issues of illicit arms brokering and women participation in disarmament were also addressed during this session. On the topic of brokering, Republic of Korea stated that, along with Australia, it will table a resolution on "Preventing and Combating Illicit Brokering Activities" which is the sole international document that comprehensively addresses the threat posed by illicit brokering of weapons. On the issue of women and disarmament, Australia and Denmark expressed that the equal, full and effective participation of women in promoting disarmament, non-proliferation and arms control is vital. Denmark further emphasized the need to fully realize the importance of women's political, social and economic empowerment.

> Theologically, I would relate midwifery ultimately, I mean as far back as
you can go, to the image of God in humans. Why? Because it requires
imagination and memory, the ability of one woman to imagine or remember what

communication is based on that same fundamental level of connectedness, for
otherwise, no communication would be possible.
Just a thought.
I whole heartedly agree. Empathy is the best word. I love it. I received my
training in counseling at the University of Chicago from Carl Rogers, a giant
of a bygone generation, who never failed to emphasize that the cardinal
ability of counselors is to empathize with their counselees. That suggests
that the primary motivation of midwives is empathy with the mother, as well as
with the child about to be birthed. Again, the ultimate origin of midwifery
lies in the image of God.

Thank you so much @Olander tomorrow i'm going to test and let you know if works. because after opening an issue in the MS Developer Support, they have answered me just today, the response has been so deplorable that I doubt even they have read the email, If some one is interested they only sent a link to: https://msdn.microsoft.com /library/windows/apps/hh464945.aspx
Brian Peek from Microsoft responds that
this is a known issue with the Store submission process right now. If you work with the submission folks, they will grant you an exception until the issue is properly fixed. No need to change your code/MonoGame/anything else. Hope that helps.
Hope it doesn't take long to get fixed!

The other day I was looking on Pinterest and saw a picture of banana bread with chocolate chips and raspberries in it. I often add chocolate chips to my banana bread but had never thought of adding raspberries. (You would think I would have thought of this since most of my family goes bonkers for raspberries, but the thought never crossed my mind.)
I mentioned the idea to Jeffrey and he thought it was a must try. He then mentioned the idea to Tyler who thought the idea of banana bread with raspberries in it was a stroke of genius. Unfortunately for him, I didn't make it early enough. When he heard about the idea Sunday morning, he expected the bread for breakfast. There wasn't time to make it this morning and I hate to say it but he was quite disappointed. He was sulking around and claiming that nothing sounded good and that he wasn't hungry.
In an attempt to help Jeffrey recover face with our disenchanted son, I decided to make the bread while Tyler was attending a birthday party at the pool. He had to wait until the afternoon to enjoy the yummy bread though I imagine this morning's disappointment is long gone. I think it is a new favorite. Tyler even passed up s'mores to have this as his desert after supper.
Raspberry Dark Chocolate Banana Bread
Printer Friendly Recipe
2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup granulated white sugar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups mashed ripe banana (2-3 bananas)
1/3 cup plain greek yogurt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup dark chocolate chips
1 cup halved raspberries, tossed in 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9×5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt.
In a separate large bowl, beat the sugar and butter with an electric mixer at medium speed until well blended (about 1 minute). Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the banana, yogurt, and vanilla; beat until blended. Stir in the flour mixture; just until moistened. Don't over-mix. Stir in the chocolate chunks and then gently stir in the raspberries.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 15 minutes in the pan on a wire rack. Remove from pan and cool completely on the wire rack.

Broadening boundaries
Following on from my post introducing my intentions for my 40's and 2017, I'll now expand on the reasons behind them.
To be honest, the overall intention – broadening my boundaries – has been my focus for a number of years. Unfortunately both physical and mental health issues, the associated life changes and my own confidence, have meant it's felt like I haven't been able to do the things I'd like to do. I've felt like the decisions I've made have always been about picking up the pieces from things that have gone wrong.
A huge part of it has been my confidence, I'd say 'I can't …'
because of work
because of money
because I'll get tired
because of my back, my foot
because I might get anxious
But, sometimes, more in recent years, I've done it anyway. Sometimes the fear has borne true, sometimes it hasn't. But I've always come through it and that's what I've got to keep remembering. Like the title of the book, 'Feel the fear and do it anyway'.
So I'm gentle pushing at my boundaries. As in Vygotsky's writings, I'm pushing myself into my zone of proximal development. Occasionally (particularly the night before an event) it might feel like I'm going too far, but usually, once I'm there, it's ok. And just as children need scaffolding to support their development, so do adults. Over the years, I've got better at getting help, so I have lots of people, professionally and personally to support and cheerlead. I've got people that are either going to mentor or buddy me with my sporting intentions this year. My Dad is helping me with the DIY on my house. I have a fabulous yoga teacher on youtube. I have great friends and family that help so much without even realising sometimes. I also mostly know where the boundary between 'proximal development' and 'unknown' is, so I can take successful small steps, rather than anxiety inducing great leaps. I also have a big toolkit of strategies to help myself physically and emotionally and I'm getting better at using them.
I already have some positive 'evidence' that I can do it from last year. I traveled to places I haven't been before, did sporting activities I didn't think I could do, I started a job I wasn't sure I'd be able to handle. I've been to events when I've felt rubbish, and enjoyed them. I've joined a choir and busked in the streets!
Let's see what I can do this year.
P.S. Reading back through this already feels like broadening my boundaries. Putting myself out there, especially talking about my health is scary. But I don't want to just put on a false happy, aren't I wonderful face. This blog is me. I listened to a great podcast with Elizabeth Gilbert and Glennon Doyle Melton yesterday about Glennon's blogging and writing journey. She spoke about how she was writing, for her, so she could be heard. That she wrote the same whether there were 15 or 15,000 people reading it. But, at the moment, because unfortunately there are still people (particularly in the workplace) that might view my honesty and battles as weakness, I'm not putting my name on this blog. Hopefully, one day I might, but not yet. So if you know who I am, it's because I trust you, so thank you.

Treatment - nosebleed
Alternative names
Nosebleed treatment
To stop a typical nosebleed, sit down and gently squeeze the soft portion of the nose between your thumb and finger (so that the nostrils are closed) for about 5-10 minutes. Lean forward to avoid swallowing the blood and breathe through your mouth. Wait at least 5 minutes before checking if the bleeding has stopped. Almost all nose bleeds can be controlled in this way if sufficient time is allowed for the bleeding to stop.
It may help to apply cold compresses or ice across the bridge of the nose. DO NOT pack the inside of the nose with gauze.
For more information, see nosebleeds. For other nose emergencies, see nose emergency first aid.

As writers and artists, we can spend years on our creative projects, writing that book we just had to write because it was 'in us' and it had to 'come out'.
Yet despite all the endeavours we put into our creative works, most artists pay scant attention to the audience we wish to engage with. 'Write it and they will read it,' is the motto.
But it doesn't work that way. 33 million titles on Amazon proves that; barely any of them sell more than 20 copies. As a publisher with 250+ titles on our list, no more than 40 titles actually sell in sufficient quantities to make a significant return on investment. That's just the way it is with any artistic and creative pursuit – some make it, but most don't.
With that in mind, one way of increasing your chances of making your writing a success (besides mastering your writing to the best of your ability) is to attract an interested readership that is willing to buy and read your work / book.
This isn't as hard as it sounds, but it does take time. You can't buy an interested audience as easily as they'd buy your book. They need to be nurtured, attended to, engaged with on a regular basis. In other words, they need to be looked after. They're your readers and they must not be neglected.
One way of attracting and nurturing your readers is to provide them with interesting content. Content that they're looking for and want to read. A great FREE resource for this is www.medium.com
Feeling inspired? Download the Bestsellers' Checklist to kickstart your writing success!
Medium.com allows you to post regular articles on whatever topics you like to write about – fiction, non-fiction etc. The great thing is, you can repurpose blogs / posts from your own website so that you don't have to worry about writing new material.
The other great thing is that tens of thousands of readers visit this site daily, readers that could find your articles and become that audience interested in your writing.
A little bit of effort could lead to great reward.

Today was an eventful day! I guess it would be considered "eventful" for me. I finished the book, titled Sweet Offerings – which is the sequel book to Bitter-Sweet Harvest which I reviewed on previously. I bought new clothes (supposedly) for the upcoming Chinese New Year – which is a tradition that the Chinese consider to symbolize a new start. The clothing isn't all fanciful and red, it's just an addition to the clothes I'd wear when I go out on any other common day. Today is in fact just like any other Sunday. I had my favorite Indian food with Dad and Sis. Beef jerky is always a must-have for me in Indian Rojak, complementing it with sweet and spicy peanut sauce. Besides those, I also received a message from Lana!
It makes me really happy to know that she read those messages! At one point, it feels like a starstruck moment – my heart feels full, overwhelming. She's always quiet, quiet, quiet… and then surprise! She's also set to release a cover of the Sleeping Beauty classic, Once Upon A Dream, for the upcoming Disney film Maleficent. This song would be novelty piece to Lana's current range of released songs/covers – the breathy, deep voice everyone perceives her to only have. I can't wait to listen to her version of this fairy tale classic. And how she's gonna modulate her pitch to this song!

We currently use Vault Standard and are considering upgrading to Vault Professional because our current defect tracking system is no longer supported. What are our options for importing the data from our existing defect tracking system into Vault Professional (if any)? Thank you!

We don't have any automatic tools available, but we do have our Client API which you could use to write something that could go between the two and pull over necessary data. The Client API is posted on our downloads page for each version. Inside the download is the documentation for the API. For examples check out our API development forum: viewforum.php?f=39.

OK, I think that will work. Thank you!
A few more questions please? (I'm poking around in the web client demo, but that isn't what we will be using.) I'm looking at this from a testing point of view, with Item Tracking being my new defect tracking software.
1) Can I paste a screenshot directly into Item Tracking, or must I always save it to a file and then attach?
2) It looks like each user can pick and choose how he wishes wish to receive emails. As the admin, I want to control the idea that each time an Item is assigned to someone, he gets an email. In other words, he can't opt out of that. Is that possible?
3) As the admin, I want to get notified if a user closes an Item. Is that possible? (Alternatively, if I can make it so that Closing/Resolving an Item is not allowed for certain users, that would work too.)
4) Can I email an Item (all attachments included) to someone outside of the Vault world?
Thank you!
1) In the Vault GUI client work item tracking, there is a button called Add From Clipboard. In that case you could just copy, and use that button. In the web client, you need to use the attachment button. If you want it to appear inline to the ticket, you can use the Use Html check box and create a link to the attachment.
2) There isn't a way currently to prevent users from changing their settings. There are ways to set the settings, but the users could still change them.
3) It's not possible to prevent closing a work item, but you can receive a notification (in email or in the Vault application) when a user closes a work item.
4) This currently isn't possible, but I can add a feature request. Could you describe further how you envision this looking or working?

Hi! Sorry it took me so long to get back to this. We're gearing up to start importing soon. With respect to #4:
In our current defect tracking software, I have an email button. Pressing the button takes all of the relevant info in current issue and plops it into an email. Any attachments are attached to the email. I can then send that email to say, a 3rd party software company who doesn't have access to our Vault Work Items.
The only alternative I see is to manually create an email and copy and paste info from the work item into the body of the email. Then I would need to pull the attachments from the work item and get them attached to my email. I attached a screen shot of what the email looks like in our current defect tracking software. Thanks for considering!
You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.
Thank you for the additional information. I have logged the request.
One thing you can do is use our Vault client API to add the work items. Are you able to get information from your current system and save it as a .csv? If you don't have that option, then can you parse the emails you send from the system to yourself and put them in a .csv file? From there you could write something to read the data and use it to Vault through our API.

Alan Pardew rues Crystal Palace injury crisis
ALAN PARDEW says Crystal Palace's injury crisis is one of the worst he has faced as a manager.
The Palace boss lost James McArthur and Jason Puncheon after Tuesday's home defeat against Bournemouth.
McArthur is out for the rest of the season after damaging ankle ligaments while Puncheon will miss at least a month with a hamstring problem.
Yannick Bolasie, Bakary Sako and Joe Ledley will also miss the trip to Swansea on Saturday while Yohan Cabaye and Dwight Gayle should return after a spell out.
"Our attacking line has really taken a hit"Alan Pardew
And Pardew said: "We've had a run of injuries I've not really come across too often in my career, particularly the one area.
"Our defence has been untouched to a degree and they've produced great performances.
"Our midfield has been fairly strong but our attacking line has really taken a hit and we are fortunate in a lot of ways not to have lost Wilf Zaha given the amount of times he gets fouled.
"We've lost two very important players this week in McArthur and Puncheon.
"They've both been having fabulous seasons for us so that's a significant blow.
"Punch played the last 15 minutes because we didn't have another sub and that didn't help. That will definitely be four weeks for sure."
McArthur revealed the extent of his injury through Twitter, saying: "Looks like season over for me with ankle ligaments tore. Just another challenge in my career to make sure I work hard and come back stronger."

Guitar tabs are an easy solution for you if you have no idea of how to read sheet music but are constantly bugged by the notion that you want to be a guitarist. Guitar tabs are easy to learn and allow you to begin playing songs right away, even if you are not familiar with them. Once you have bought your first guitar, it is time to begin looking for easy guitar tab versions of some songs to find out what it feels like to be a guitar player. Which songs you need tabs for depends on how you see yourself as a musician.
Do you want to play your favorite songs chiefly for your own amusement or do you want to aim your repertoire at a potential audience? Let us look at your audience for a minute. The most popular songs in the world are all from years gone by. If you sit a bunch of people aged between ten and fifty down and play songs at them you will find some universal favorites, and they will all be old songs. If you want to please a random audience, your ultimate goal should be to have about one hundred popular songs ranging from the 1940's to the present, but you could probably narrow the range to just include songs going back to the sixties.

Ashtead Technology has secured a global asset management agreement with Blue Ocean Monitoring to store, maintain and supply underwater gliders for ocean data monitoring.
The deal will see Blue Ocean Monitoring expand its service offering globally with Ashtead providing asset management services and project support from its offices in Aberdeen, Houston and Singapore.
Unlike autonomous vehicles (AUVs) which are driven by conventional propellers, the gliders operate using either buoyancy or wave motion propulsion mechanisms, which allows for longer deployment periods and the collection of large datasets continuously over extended time scales.
The gliders are capable of transmitting data in real-time and can be deployed and recovered easily, at a fraction of the cost of traditional vessel-based or fixed-mooring monitoring approaches, lowering both project costs, and health, safety and environmental risks.
Tim Sheehan, commercial director at Ashtead Technology said: "Through this exclusive agreement, Ashtead will hold gliders in each of its bases around the world, from where we will store, maintain and supply them providing our customers with a new, proven technology solution for ocean data collection.
"The gliders can be equipped with a choice of over 40 different sensors, and can be deployed in the water for up to a year at a time. With two-way satellite communications the gliders can be deployed and controlled anywhere in the world, they are highly weather resilient and have no environmental impact."
