We first posted about "Twitter invisibility" in 2015, and since then, a lot of interesting new statistics have been released – and Twitter has become a LOT more secretive about others!
One thing is likely to remain consistent, however: Nobody is seeing your Tweets.
What does this mean for you and your marketing? Here's a peek into why nobody is seeing your Tweets and, most importantly, what you can do about it!
Looking for more ideas and support for succeeding on social media? Sign up for our free 7-day email course Social by Seven! No more overwhelm, no more imposter syndrome, no more uncertainty, just a solid, straightforward, easy-to-implement social media strategy that will grow your business. Sign up here.
In the time it takes you to read this sentence, about 40,509 Tweets will have been published.
Kind of a lot, right?
While Twitter no longer publishes their Tweets-per-day stats (and there is plenty of speculation as to reasons why), at last count the social network posts about 500 million new updates every single day – an average of about 5,787 per second.
Basically, things move fast in the ol' Twittersphere, and that means the half life of a Tweet is short – and it isn't always easy for YOUR voice to be heard.
Fortunately, your followers aren't also following every single person on Twitter. (Unless they are. What do we know?)
But while you may not be competing with 500 million other Tweets all the time, you're still fighting an uphill battle when it comes to getting your updates seen.
Which brings us to the big question of the day: How many followers can you figure will actually see one of your tweets? Most of them? None of them? Are my Tweets being seen at all? How long does a Tweet last, anyway?
Let's take a closer look at the statistics and see just how long people really spend on Twitter – and what you can do to get from the "No one sees my Tweets!" blues and make sure your Tweets get seen!
Say you have 1000 followers on Twitter. That's a super respectable number, right? 1000 people logging on every day, checking their feeds, seeing your latest links and promos and whatnot!
Except they aren't. In fact, the majority of them aren't. Only about 46% of Twitter users log on at least once per day. So of those 1000 followers you have, only about 460 or so even check the social network on a daily basis. (This is one reason why nobody sees your tweets.)
Basically, we're not off to an amazing start. But those 460 people are only those people who check Twitter at least once per day – some people check it more frequently. Let's factor them in, too!
About 34% of Twitter users check the network multiple times per day – we know that much. Thing is, though, we don't know exactly how many times, because that data just doesn't really exist.
But if we're still going off the earlier example with your hypothetical 1000 followers, then this statistic means just 340 of your followers check Twitter multiple times a day, while 120 check it only once. That's some extreme skimming.
But doesn't it seem like there's a new cable news report every day about how we're all glued to our mobile devices, checking our social media on a near-constant basis? Shouldn't that go for Twitter, too? After all, 313 million monthly active users is nothing to sniff at!
The average Jane spends nearly an hour a day on Facebook, every single day. In fact, the average person will spend over five years of their life on social media! (For comparison, you'll spend about three-and-a-half years eating and drinking.)
Holy. Moly. Surely a huge portion of that time is spent on Twitter, right? Right?
Let that sink in for a moment. Every single day, the average Twitter user spends only 60 seconds on the platform!
Now, we know what you're thinking: "That's basically zero time. People are spending zero time on Twitter!" (You may also be thinking something like, "Arggggghhh!!")
What's a marketer to do? Too few of your followers are on Twitter at any given time, and even fewer will see your Tweets when you publish them!
So, then, what does all of this mean for your Twitter marketing? Is it even worth your time to tweet at all?
Actually, yeah. It totally is.
Waaaaaaay too many businesses start off strong and optimistic on Twitter, and after going however long without finding the engagement they'd hoped for, they give up.
We totally get that! The odds are stacked against you to begin with, but the less you tweet, the worse they get.
That's EXACTLY why we decided to shine a spotlight on these statistics! To show you that it's not your fault if Twitter marketing seems like a pain. It's an uphill battle for everyone, is all.
It IS your fault, however, if you convince yourself that it's futile and you give up. Because here's the thing: Twitter is a loud and busy place (obviously), and while that means the half-life of a Tweet is relatively short and you have to work harder to be heard, it also means that this network is LOADED with opportunity.
If you're trying to get more followers and you're only tweeting once or twice a day, you're gonna stay stuck right where you are – heck, the followers you have might not even be seeing ANY of your Tweets! (That's just playing the numbers, ya know?)
To increase your odds, you've gotta increase your volume.
First of all, don't pay attention to all those millions of studies about the best times to tweet – they're not about you. Pay attention to your own analytics to figure out what times you should be focusing on. (This is key to how to get your Tweets seen.)
Should you be tweeting every minute? HECK no! You'll drive people insane – yourself especially.
Essentially, you want to regularly tweet around the times when you get the most engagement, and you want to be as consistent as possible about it (because you just never know if it's going to be an "on" day or an "off" day).
The trick is to prepare as much as you can ahead of time and automate your posts. You ever have one of those moments in a conversation when you feel like you need to say something REALLY clever, but you just draw a big ol' blank? That's what happens to a lot of people on social media – and then they just don't post ANYTHING!
Take the pressure off yourself – by writing updates in advance and automating when they get published, life is way, WAY easier than it would be trying to do it all in real time.
You know by now that the number of followers who are going to see any given Tweet isn't huge. No matter how high your follower count, it's all proportional – a matter of percentages.
The bad news is that it means you have to tweet frequently to increase the odds of being seen by your followers.
The good news, though, is that it means you can post the same Tweet more than once.
Imagine you're at a party. You're talking to a group of people, and you tell them a story. Eventually, through the natural course of things at a party, those people are going to wander off, and you'll find yourself talking to a whole NEW group of people. You're at the same party, it's just that people come and they go.
So why not tell the new group of people the same story? Chances are excellent they'll be just as interested as the first group!
Think about it: Why on Earth would you take the time to write and publish an update like a Tweet, only for it to be seen by just a few people?
(Our advice from a few years of feedback from our awesome Edgar customers, though, is to not repeat yourself too quickly. Give yourself some time before using the same update again, so if it is seen by someone who saw it before, they won't likely care or even remember.)
This is why our founder, Laura, teaches what she teaches in Social Brilliant (her awesome, free Udemy course in social media). It's why she built Edgar. Smart social media automation – recycling your own awesome evergreen content using software like Edgar – is just the way it works now, and if you embrace it, you'll be lightyears ahead of the game.
Basically, here's what we figured out:
So in order to make yourself heard without driving yourself crazy, you have to do a few things:
Simple, right?
But look: We know how frustrating it can be to feel like you aren't getting any engagement, so we figure it's pretty important to know why! If you don't know the rules, you can't win the game – hopefully now, though, it all makes just a teensy bit more sense.
Got any burning questions about anything we wrote about here? Analytics? Automation? Darts? Let us know in the comments below and we can talk it out!

To offer the best ratio between costs and performance, Kizy uses different levels of position accuracy.
1. Pure positioning via the mobile communication network. This allows to identify a district of a town or other areas of logistics interests like a port, an airport or a motorway.
2. Improved positioning via WiFi. Using WiFi networks to determine a position allows to get an accuracy that allows to identify a building.
The interaction between those two positioning technologies is defined during the mission creation via the templates.
When zooming in on the map, a red transparent circle is shown. This circle indicated the range in which the tracker is actually located. The size of the circle changes with the positioning method in use.

Practice Management Services & Software
Medical Practice Management is About Getting You Paid for What You Do
Effective Medical Practice Management, means taking steps to assure that you get paid for what you do and that you get paid in a timely fashion. The cycle starts when the patient calls your office for an appointment and your staff captures the patient's name, phone number, and the name of their insurance company. The cycle ends when the balance on their account is zero. Claim Resolutions is committed to furnishing you with world class revenue cycle and practice management solutions through the most innovative means possible.
Our Only Motivation is Saving You Time and Money
Saving you -time and money is our only motivation, and the primary way we get paid. With that in mind, Claim Resolutions has developed a host of unique processes as part of Practice Advantage™. These processes are focused on improving your revenue and efficiency, while eliminating areas of wasteful spending. We custom tailor our solutions for you, leaving nothing to chance.
Comprehensive Evaluation to Improve Efficiency and Reduce Loss
The best way for Claim Resolutions to benefit your practice, is to understand your practice. We conduct a comprehensive evaluation of your systems and processes related to accounts receivable, along with practice management, revenue cycle management, efficiency, technology, staffing, and your insurance reimbursement process. With this evaluation, we empower your staff with an efficient workflow for effective billing and practice management to improve efficiency and reduce loss.
We Keep On Top of Ever-changing Payer Requirements for You
Ever changing payer requirements have made claim submission a constantly evolving process. Having Claim Resolutions on your side can mean the difference between a healthy revenue cycle and declining profits. New Federal, State, and CMS regulations mandate steep fines for non-compliance. Failure to conform to recent changes in CMS Mandatory Reporting Requirements may result in fines of $1,000 per claim, per day.
Enhance your Practice Management with Automation
Practice revenue is enhanced with electronic claim submission and electronic remittance payment posting. The quickest way to a zero balance is to professionally administer those tasks that do not require your time.
Minimize Billing Errors and Inquiries
Claim Resolutions will minimize errors and greatly reduce the chances for claim rejections, resulting in better turnaround time and higher revenues for your practice. We can reduce your rejection rates to less than 1%, and can increase your practice revenue by as much as 492%.
We Stay on Top of the Coding for You
Medical coding is a constantly evolving process, and ICD-10 is only going to make that process even more complicated. Claim Resolutions stays on top of the constantly evolving insurance reimbursement process. Our daily coding analysis will ensure the use of the most up-to-date and valuable codes and modifiers

These are small batch roasters used mostly in the labs to determine whether the coffee lot that has come from the curing works is palatable or not.
The characteristics are more pronounced in a medium roast but the coffee would be high on acidity in comparison to a medium+ wherein the body and acidity will be balanced. Though this varies with different coffee beans. Though not all Indian coffees are suitable for a light or a dark roast, we broadly categorize our roast levels in 3 intervals between a medium and dark roast - medium, medium +, medium ++ roast.

ARRB's pavement strength testing services are carried out using a Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD), which is a non-destructive testing device that provides data on the bearing capacity of road and airport pavements.
Suitable for highways, local roads, railways and airport runways, FWD testing allows for more accurate and rapid measurement of pavement deflection under loads than traditional methods. The data can assist in applications such as pavement overlay design, pavement condition surveys and in the development and operation of a Pavement Management System (PMS).
A dynamic load is generated by the dropping of a mass, similar to that of a moving vehicle or aircraft wheel loads, from a pre-set height. The magnitude of the load and the pavement response are measured by a load cell and nine geophones.
The FWD is equipped with DGPS, thus providing location information up to an accuracy of 1 metre and all data collected is in accordance with International Standard ASTM D 4694-96 (2003).
ARRB offers independent assessments of the surface characteristics during the post construction of pavements. Our testing is undertaken in accordance with the prevailing jurisdiction's test method.
ARRB also routinely undertakes pre and post construction dilapidation surveys related to the creation of major infrastructure so as to provide an independent assessment of the impact on public roads.

We all impart advice and guidance on a regular basis, whether it be to our children, colleagues, spouse, or even strangers. And if done properly, it can be a virtuous act, for the Prophet ﷺ said, "Religion is sincere counsel." (Muslim), and Muslims have been commanded to "enjoin good and forbid evil" [3:104].
If done improperly, however, the act of giving advice, or enjoining good and forbidding evil, can result in more evil. If the advisor/admonisher is boastful, condescending, lengthy in speech (i.e., lecturing), causing embarrassment to others, backbiting, or presumptuous, the advice does more harm than good.

Introduction: Ducttape Wallet for Beginners
Teacher Notes
Teachers! Did you use this instructable in your classroom?
Add a Teacher Note to share how you incorporated it into your lesson.
Step 1: Materials
Duct tape, scissors, packing tape, a marker/pen, and a flat surface
Step 2: The Body
Measure out the size you want your wallet to be when it is open. (Mine is about 8inches). Place it on your flat surface FACE DOWN(lol) so you have something to measure the other pieces with. Cut out three more of the same color. If you want the inside of your wallet to be a different color cut out four pieces(the same size) of that color.
Step 3: Attaching the Pieces
Lay color 1 face up and place color 2 halfway on top lining up the edges. Place another color 2 on the other half. Flip over and repeat with color 1. Continue repeating until there is 2 color 2s and 1 color 1. Then place color 2 on all the way on one end and half on the other end. The last piece should be color 1. Place it fully on the last sticky side of color 2. If done right you should have one whole sheet of duct tape.
Step 4: Folding and Cutting
Fold in half with color 2 on the inside and trim sides. Then take color 1 and connect each end.
Step 5: Packing Tape (optional)
If you followed my confusing steps up to here you should have a simple base wallet. This step will give you an extra pocket on the outside so you can show off your business cards and what not. Take your packing tape and make four strips the same size as your wallet. Follow step one to get a strip the same size of the body of your wallet. Trim it and attach it to the front of your wallet with packing tape
Step 6: The Details
Fold your wallet in half (it won't stay at first) and measure color 2 to the half.(measure about 6 or 8.) stick two of them together. This will be one pocket. Do the rest of the pockets and then trim them equally.
Step 7: ID Holder
Take some more packing tape measure out 4 pieces half the size of the wallet. Tape three sides down to the other side of the wallet.
Step 8: Cover Up
Cover up your loose ends
Step 9: Have Fun!
Thanks for looking at my instructable! Go out and have fun showing off your custom duct tape wallet! Follow and favorite! --moskiii13

Since Nietzsche called for the "Revaluation of all values!" we have, in Western Civilisation, seen certain transvaluations take place in areas such as race, gender, sex and violence, but what we have failed to revaluate is value itself.
A revaluation of value would untie its connection with exchange (money) and align it to needs – a thing's importance would therefore be gauged according to how necessary it was. But in order to do this we would need to remove the stigma of "price". Progress doesn't happen because it's expensive.
So, in order to make the real advances that our technology-rich culture is capable of, we now have to eradicate the barrier of "expense".
In a truly human civilisation, needs should be rights. In a truly fair society, everyone should have the opportunity to start the race from the same line. In our societies, sacrifices created by the monetary exchange system place people behind the starting line.
In a truly human civilisation, a person with disabilities should be allowed access to the technology designed to satisfy his or her needs without concern that sacrifices must be made to obtain the necessary barter. A teacher, or an intellectual, needs access to academic texts and should be granted that access; an artisan needs access to certain tools and materials; a gardener needs access to seeds and gardening tools, as well as a patch of land to garden on … etc.
In a society in which needs are understood and catered for by the society itself, on a wide and universal level, those same needs would seep into wants, but without taking over the space of wants. By planting values on authentic needs, civilisation would evolve into societies rich in purposeful-desires as opposed to our current civilisation that is drowning in pulp-waste-wants.
Paradoxically, the truly human civilisation will be defined by the fact that it will not be dependent on human labour in order to function or maintain it. It will be a place that is built and maintained by machines, and in which the goods produced by those machines will be distributed by the same machines. As Einstein preached: "Those instrumental goods which should serve to maintain the life and health of all human beings should be produced by the least possible labour of all"[i].
Of course this implies a loss of jobs, and a loss of menial tasks has tragic consequences in our societies dominated by monetary exchange. There is a vicious circle involved in our conclusion: in order to allow technology to liberate human beings from the drudgery of menial tasks we need to revaluate the value system based on money, and, technological development is the key to transcending the monetary-exchange system.
In order to close this circle, technology needs to be appropriated by the society itself so that it can be removed from the dictatorships of the capitalist corporations.
In our current model of society, the consumer pays repeatedly for goods produced by the money exchange system. Firstly, we pay for the technological research carried out with public money, secondly we pay for the cost of the products created by companies who have appropriated that technology as their own, and thirdly we have to pay each time we want to acquire the updated versions of products that have been deliberately programmed with a short life span. Of course, for the system, the important thing is that we pay, and that the money keeps flowing and moving to the top. It is this assumption that needs a radical revaluation.
In a sense, technology forces us in a direction beyond the monetary exchange. It is the essential function of technology to do what a human being cannot do by himself. To replace humans in terms of labour is to replace our role of being slaves to ourselves. In effect it is our exchange-system culture in its pure, slave-production/slave-maintenance role, that inhibits the development of technology .
While individuals continue to see themselves essentially as active members of the master-slave, sacrifice-reward exchange system, technology will always be viewed: a) with some suspicion (as an impediment, taking away our own chances of participating successfully in the system); b) as a commodity that can be produced and exchanged for profit, and as such, just another object that enslaves desire rather than liberating humanity.
The first leap to a revaluation of technology in a positive way must come about by abandoning the view of technology as commodities to be sold. A revaluation would see machines as something readily available for use without any ultimate aim of making a profit. This attitude places the entire monetary exchange system in question.
Technology can truly liberate us, but it won't if we need to constantly sacrifice our time and real needs in order to be able to obtain that liberation. The purpose of technology is to liberate us from labour, not to ensure that we are shackled to it.
In order to remove technological development away from the market place and its role as an exchange-value/profit-making tool, we need to control the power of making machines that will be able to make themselves. Which means: a) control of the raw materials needed to make these machines; b) control of universities so that scientists and designers will be encouraged to plan technology in a social direction rather than a profit-making one; and c) control of the use of these machines once they are made.
Of course, these incentives have to come from the grass roots, the demos, the people. The so-called free market cannot be expected to have any inclinations towards implementing a structure which has an aim to abolish the free market.
Produce, distribute and maintain itself: there are the three basic functions that a truly human, technological society should be based on. Within production itself there are embedded needs to search for and extract the raw materials needed for that production to be possible. This implies a need for an ecological design for all future technology. A truly human civilisation will need to programme its machines with an ability to recognise excess, to understand the negative idea of over-farming, and to be able to judge the limits of extraction. A truly human civilisation needs, above all, a control of eco-friendly technologies.

In the last 20 years or so, airport security has tightened to ensure the safety of all flyers. While it is a much-needed precaution, it is also seen as a significant inconvenience for the passengers who just want to get on the plane and get to their destination on time and in one piece.
Get through Security Faster
Planning an out of the country holiday? Never forget to bring your essentials and arrive at the airport early to ensure that you have enough time to get through their security. Avoid the hassle by following these simple tips to help you get through airport security faster.
Sign up for PreCheck
If you're a regular flyer, then a pre-boarding program might just be the perfect investment. Several programs are offering this service, wherein you can check in online, pay a fee, and verify your identity when you arrive at the airport.
These services often have a five-year subscription plan, giving regular flyers the opportunity to get through security faster.
Weigh Your Bags
Going to the airport and realising that you overpacked can pose a problem. You will not only hold up the line but will be in danger of having to either pay the extra baggage fee or to discard a few items to meet the weight requirement.
To avoid this, it is important to weigh your bags before you leave your home. You can use a bathroom scale to help you. Another option is putting on some of the clothes you don't want to pack. Layering is a great way to dress for the colder weather and to avoid the extra baggage fee.
Check Wait Time Before You Leave
Before you book your flight, do a quick Google search on the wait time for each airline is like. Doing this can help you determine if an airline is faster with their process versus those who are a lot slower in their operation.
For regular flyers, there are apps available just for this purpose. It makes it a lot easier for them to check before they leave their house to catch their flight and before they leave their hotels to catch their return flight later on.
Print Your Boarding Pass
Without a boarding pass, you can't get on the plane. Once you've booked your flight and have been issued your boarding pass, make sure you have it either saved on your phone or printed and stored somewhere where you can quickly grab it. The last thing you need is to look through your items trying to find your pass.
For those who prefer using the digital version, make sure to make a screencap of the boarding pass in case you can't access your email while waiting in line.
Dress Strategically
Earlier, we mentioned that layering your clothes before a flight was a good idea to skip the baggage fee. But remember to plan what you wear, because clothing such as belts, shirts with buttons, zippers, and bras with underwire are asking for trouble.
- Here are a few tips to give you an idea of what to wear when catching a flight:
- Slip-on shoes
- Avoid wearing jewellery and watches
Another good advice is to wear a jacket with an inside pocket, store your watch, passport and any other documents inside, take off said jacket when going through the body scanner, and just put it back on once you have gone through. It saves a lot of time and makes it easier for everyone standing in line to get checked.
Airport security is a hassle, but you can make it easier on yourself. Follow these simple tips, and you can get on your plane faster.
Driving yourself to the airport? Book a parking space with us here at Alpha Airport Parking to reserve a spot for your car and be on time for your flight.

It is perfectly all right to give your pet table scraps from time to time. The meaty, skinless portion of Thanksgiving turkey, the de-seeded flesh of watermelons, a de-cored and de-seeded apple, or even a whole piece of ripe banana can all be given to our pets, all in moderation. However, when it comes to chocolates, no matter how pitiful your dog looks with its sad look and woeful cries, don't ever give in to the temptation of giving your pooch even a small piece of your dark chocolate – especially dark chocolate! That one small bite may just all your dog needs to say goodbye in this world. So, to answer the question whether dogs can eat chocolate, the straightforward answer is "no".
Theobromine: The Culprit
Chocolates contain theobromine, a substance that is derived from the cacao plant. It is theobromine that gives chocolate its almost caffeine-like bitterness. In fact, caffeine, theophylline, and theobromine all belong to the same class of xanthine alkaloids producing a strikingly similar effect. However, since chocolates are mostly synthesized from cacao plants, its main composition is theobromine, with caffeine mainly associated with the coffee bean plant.
Theobromine has three fundamental physiologic actions:
- Increase the heart rate
- Increase the diameter of the blood vessels
- Increase urination
Essentially, what theobromine does is that it reduces blood pressure by a combination of these 3 mechanisms. By increasing the diameter of blood vessels, the pressure against the walls of these blood vessels is effectively reduced. The reduction in blood pressure typically slows down the movement of blood through the arteries and veins. This leads to an increase in blood volume in these blood vessels. To compensate and help prevent the possible rise of blood pressure caused by the increase in blood volume, the kidneys will have to increase its production of urine. This removes some of the water found in the blood leading to a reduction in blood volume. Because the blood volume is reduced, the heart will have to contract faster to compensate. It is this tight balancing act that theobromine works.
It should be beneficial. Unfortunately, dogs metabolize or process theobromine a lot slower than we do. More specifically, dogs don't have the necessary enzyme systems needed for the effective metabolism of the substance. Because of this, theobromine actually lingers in the canine body for a much longer period of time. The canine liver is simply not built for the effective metabolism of theobromine. This leads to a host of signs and symptoms that you should also learn to recognize.
Signs and Symptoms of Chocolate Toxicity
Theobromine is the major culprit in the toxic effects brought about by chocolates. If your pet happens to ingest one of these sweet treats, it is possible that it will show any of the following clinical manifestations:
- Restlessness or too much energy
- Excessive panting or pacing
- Vomiting and diarrhoea
- Extreme thirst
- Hyperexcitability of the reflexes
- Increased body temperature
- Tremors or shaking
- Abnormal or elevated heart rate
- Very rapid but shallow breathing
- Unusually low blood pressure
- Increased frequency and amount of urination
- Seizures
- Death
Majority of these manifestations are the direct result of theobromine's stimulant effects as well as vasodilator and diuretic properties. A few of these come as complications of initial manifestations. In severe cases, death can ensue in a matter of hours often brought about by hypovolemic shock. This is the result of an abnormally low blood pressure that it can no longer support life. Because oxygen is not delivered to the vital organs, this leads to multi-organ system failure.
Not All Chocolates are Created Equal
The good thing is that, like everything else, not all dark and sinfully sweet choco treats are created equal. Since the major culprit in such toxicities is theobromine, then consuming less of this substance should provide your pooch some degree of hope.
Theobromine is found in cacao plants. Unfortunately, we don't eat it as is. These are harvested and processed into a variety of choco products that we are now familiar with and which we are often tempted on sharing with our pets.
Here's the thing. Different kinds of chocolates contain different levels of theobromine. While you may have the option to memorize the figures below, a good rule of thumb is that the darker the choco product, the more concentrated is its theobromine content; hence, it is a lot more toxic than one that is light-colored or somewhere in between. To give you an idea of what we're talking about, consider the following levels of theobromine for the following choco products.
- 1 cup of dry and unsweetened cocoa powder, alkali-processed = 2,266 milligrams
- 1 cup of dry and unsweetened cocoa powder = 1,769 milligrams
- 1 cup of unsweetened baker's chocolate = 1,712 milligrams
- 1 bar of dark chocolate with 70-85% cacao extracts = 810 milligrams
- 1 cup of M&M's peanuts = 184 milligrams
- 55 ounces of Hershey's Milk Chocolate bar = 64 milligrams
- 1 bar KitKat Wafer = 48.7 milligrams
- 1 bar Milky Way = 37.1 milligrams
As you can see, the darker or the more bitter the chocolate, the greater is its theobromine content. Compare a cup of your unsweetened baker's chocolate with a cup of M&M's and you can see the obvious difference. Baker's chocolate comes in at a whopping 1712 milligrams per cup while M&M only registers 184 milligrams.
So, how can you use this information?
Understand that the median lethal dose of theobromine in dogs is currently formulated at 300 milligrams per kilogram of the dog's body weight. This is a reflection of the amount of theobromine dose that 50% of all dogs will die because of toxicity. For example, if your dog weighs 20 pounds, then that means its median lethal dose will be 6,000 milligrams or about 6 grams. This is roughly equivalent to about 3.5 cups of the unsweetened baker's chocolate or about 33 cups of your M&M's Peanuts. Of course, other factors may have to be considered such as the overall health of your dog's liver as well as any other existing medical condition that may exacerbate the effects of theobromine. That said, if your pooch is also on certain medications that can have an additive effect on theobromine, its toxicity may increase significantly.
Another thing that you need to understand is that theobromine typically has a plasma half-life in dogs of about 17 hours. This is the amount of time it would take for the dose of the substance to be reduced in half. So, if your pooch accidentally consumed a chocolate bar that contains 100 milligrams of theobromine, it would take 17 hours before the theobromine levels in the blood reach 50 milligrams. Wait another 17 hours and the dose will already be reduced to 25 milligrams. Another 17 hours and the dose will only be 12.5 milligrams. In other words, after about 7 days of ingesting the 100 milligrams of theobromine, your dog will still have about 0.78 milligrams of the substance left in its body.
So, if you do decide to share your pooch one of your milk chocolates, be sure to understand the estimated theobromine content of what you're giving and make appropriate calculations as to the amount of time needed by your dog to clear the substance.

What to Do if Your Pooch Ate Chocolate
Based on what we have been discussing above, it is clear that white chocolates pose less threat to dogs compared to darker varieties. However, this should not be interpreted as a go-signal to giving our pooches these sweet treats wantonly. As there may be instances when our dogs will simply develop toxicity to what they have consumed, it is important to know what to do.
- Whatever you do, if you think your pet has had too much of chocolates, don't wait for the clinical manifestations we have shared above. Immediately call your veterinarian so he can guide you properly on what to do. Generally, depending on the type and amount of chocolate consumed and the age and size of your pet, your vet may recommend monitoring your dog, giving an emetic, or bring your pet to the clinic.
- If your pet has only ingested the chocolate in the last 2 hours, you may be advised to initiate your first aid plan by giving it hydrogen peroxide. You should give about a tablespoon of hydrogen peroxide for every 20 pounds of its body weight. Typically, however, dogs will vomit the substance on their own.
- If your pet is vomiting, withhold anything and everything by mouth, including water.
- If you do bring your dog to the clinic, your vet will induce vomiting by flushing activated charcoal into its tummy. Supplemental IV fluids may also be administered to help replenish the fluid and electrolytes lost during induced vomiting.
- If your pet is already showing seizures, careful monitoring is required at the veterinary clinic.
It is very tempting to give our pets that delicious bar of milk chocolate, even a small piece of it. Unfortunately, whether it's dark chocolate or white chocolate, it still contains theobromine that may have an entirely different effect on your dog. Better be safe now than be sorry later.

GRIMM is pleased to announce TECHNO WARRIOR, the second solo show at the gallery of German artist Daniel Richter. The exhibition includes new paintings and works on paper, including his largest painting yet of 3,5 by 6,5 meters.
A few years ago Richter's work referenced social unrest with cityscapes that appeared to be burned into the canvas and portraits of people at the fringe of society. In this new series of works, the artist has revisited a calmer look with lonely figures in desolate landscapes.
Daniel Richter (1962, Futin, Germany) lives and works in Berlin and Hamburg and is one of the top German contemporary painters. He came to fame in the Netherlands in 2007 with a large solo exhibition at the GEM in The Hague.

According to official statistics, over 200,00 new homes were added to the housing stock in England last year, a figure revealed shortly after Prime Minister Theresa May committed to making the housing shortage a priority and pledging to provide tens of thousands more homes in the coming years.
The Prime Minister stated that " I have made it my mission to build the homes the country needs and take personal charge of the Government's response.
"Today I am seeing the work now underway to put this right and in coming weeks and months my Government will be going further to ensure that we build more homes, more quickly."
The statistics showed an overall amount of 217,350 new homes throughout the country. The majority of these homes were new builds, totalling at 183,570, and the second most common type of new home were the 37,190 commercial buildings that were converted to residential properties. England also saw 5,680 conversions between houses and flats, but the overall number of new homes was reduced slightly as 10,000 homes needed to be demolished.
The number of new homes built over the last year is up 27,700 (15%) when compared to the previous and is the highest number of new homes built since before the 2008 financial crisis, which saw 223,530 new homes.
While this is a step in the right direction and eases the pressure of rising demand for housing, some property experts believe that the country needs 250,000 new homes per year to tackle the current shortage of homes.
This sentiment is shared by Communities Secretary, Sajiid Javid, who believes we need to aim higher: "Steps have been made in the right direction but I want to see a giant leap, and hundreds of thousands more homes. We owe it to our future generations to fix this broken housing market and help them find a home of their own,"
Javid went on to say that "Whilst some councils are recognising their responsibilities and stepping up to meet the housing challenge, too many are still not acting. That's why I'm stepping in now to make sure they act,"

Apple's 11in MacBook Air may create a conundrum for prospective Mac owners: should they buy the petite laptop or an iPad? When Apple launched the Air, it said it was a hybrid device combining the best aspects of the MacBook with the iPad. Just like Apple's tablet device, the Air has flash storage and no optical or hard drive. But like previous versions of the Air, the new computer runs OS X and has a laptop form factor.
So, if you had to pick just one device, and you specifically wanted an Apple device, for travelling or using at home, which one would you choose?
iOS versus OS X
The first thing to consider is the software and what your needs might be. If you choose an iPad, you'll have a range of applications to choose from, including Apple's iWork productivity suite. But importing and exporting files between the iPad and your desktop is still a bit of hassle, requiring you to use iTunes and each app's Document Manager.
The Air has the full Mac OS X file management system, and you can move files to your Air using a USB flash drive. You can also install Office for Mac 2011, but you'll have to use the Air's optical drive sharing feature with a nearby PC or Mac to access the install discs.
Beyond work, both devices will play your iTunes music; you can access online music services such as Spotify using the Air's Web browser or the Spotify app for iPad. But games are more accessible on the iPad since you have access to a wide range of popular mobile games, such as Angry Birds, Bejeweled and Plants vs Zombies.
The aeroplane test
If you want something to use when you're 30,000 feet in the air, the choice between an iPad and an Air comes down to personal preference. The MacBook Air's 30cm width and 19.2cm depth should be small enough to fit comfortably on most aeroplane tray tables. When the Air is open, you'll probably need about eight inches of clearance between the base of the tray table and the seat in front of you to use the device comfortably.
The iPad has a width of 18.97cm. So if you use an iPad with a case that props it up on your tray table in landscape mode, you'll probably need a similar amount of clearance for the iPad as with the Air. The advantage of the iPad, however, is that you can also set it on your lap or lay it flat on the tray table.
Keyboard, portability and other considerations
The MacBook Air boasts a full-size physical keyboard with 78 keys, 12 function keys and four directional arrows. The iPad relies on a touchscreen keyboard, although it can be paired with a portable keyboard.
As for portability, both are relatively light. The iPad weighs in at 0.68kg for the WiFi version and 0.73kg for 3G (plus another 0.35kg for the keyboard). The Air comes in a little heavier at 1.06kg (as long as you don't plan to carry an iPad keyboard too). Both devices feature 802.11n WiFi that's backward compatible with slower versions of WiFi including 802.11a/b/g, and both have Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR. One thing the 11in Air doesn't have is a built-in 3G data connection, which is an option with the iPad. However, the Air can be paired with a MiFi mobile hotspot.
As for price, the MacBook Air starts at £849. The iPad costs from £429 to £699, depending on the storage and 3G options you choose.
Apple's addition of what is essentially a netbook with the 11in MacBook Air is an intriguing new device for the Mac line-up.
But it will be interesting to see if the smaller laptop bites into iPad sales, or whether users completely ignore the new laptop in favour of a tablet device.

Treatment for alcoholism and drug addiction from your home
There are a variety of treatment options for overcoming addiction to alcohol and drugs such as support groups, outpatient therapy, residential treatment programs and intensive outpatient programs or IOPs.
Each type of program has its pros and cons and results may vary depending on your personal situation. For instance, a residential program that requires you to live at the treatment facility for a month or more may impact your ability to remain in school or at your job. Outpatient therapy alone may not be enough treatment to help you overcome your addiction. Intensive outpatient treatment is preferred by insurance companies and the legal community but finding one near your home may be a challenge.
smart IOP is the first licensed online IOP. Using your computer or mobile device, smart IOP brings this highly effective level of treatment to you. It has been developed by licensed and certified professionals to treat the whole person and produce a successful and lasting recovery.
Here's how it works:
Step 1
Select someone to be your smart Sponsor
A smart Sponsor is someone you select, typically a friend or family member, to support you during your time in the smart IOP program. smart Sponsors are required to:
- Pass a state-conducted background check
- Perform periodic sobriety checks on you
- Attend weekly support group meetings with you
- Verify that you have watched all of the program videos
Step 2
Set-up smart IOP technology tools
To use smart IOP, you will first need to set-up user accounts with our technology providers Utila, VSee and Wistia. smart IOP works well on all devices, operating systems and web browsers. You will need a secure connection to the Internet and a camera to access private video teleconferencing sessions with your treatment team. Please note that the only compatibility issues have been found when using older cameras, typically ones manufactured by "off" brands.
After your acceptance into the smart IOP program, a customer service representative will contact you to assist with set-up.
Step 3
Access online treatment
smart IOP provides twice the amount of one-on-one therapy compared with other IOPs. Use our online tools to participate in 11 sessions with your assessment team, therapists and case managers. There are also over 70 videos in our library for you to watch with your smart Sponsor, friends and family. Educating members of your support network will be critical for your continued recovery once you complete the smart IOP program.
Step 4
Attend weekly support group meetings with your smart Sponsor
A critical part of your recovery will be through attendance at weekly support groups with your smart Sponsor. This is the only offline part of the smart IOP program. You will also need to submit to regular sobriety checks with your smart Sponsor.
Step 5
Track your progress through completion
Your progress will be tracked through smart IOP and verified by your smart Sponsor. Most participants complete the program in 6-12 weeks.

FT03B Black Aluminium Micro-ATX Computer Case €169,41Coming mid Apr
|More variations available Show
SilverStone FT03 Aluminium Computer Cases
This unique PC chassis is primarily made of aluminium for thermal conductivity, and with generous ventilation which promotes natural convection cooling.
- Generous ventilation promotes natural vertical convection cooling
- Offers dual external USB 3.0 connectivity and hot swap internal drive bays
- Large internal space can accommodate VGA cards up to 300mm long
- Able to house high-end hardware
- Smaller footprint than a traditional tower case
The FT03 case offers a new dimension in computing and takes the idea to the next stage with its stunning design and expandability. The FT03 is the latest offering from SilverStone and it offers a beautifully finished, 2.5mm thick, finely sand-blasted and anodised aluminium outer shell.
The interior of the chassis utilises a convection effect cooling layout so that a MicroATX motherboard can be mounted vertically as in a traditional tower case, enabling a fanless CPU cooler to take advantage of natural convection to vent warm air out of the top of the case. This design also enables the FT03 to support graphics cards that are as long as 300mm without the chassis taking up similar room depth-wise. In addition, the chassis also supports three 3.5" hard drives with one capable of hot-swapping function and one 2.5" drive bay for excellent storage flexibility.
For a chassis that may define a new design direction for PCs, the SilverStone FT03 is perfect for anyone looking to build a striking yet fully functional and quiet system. It may be of special interest to professionals such as musicians, graphic designers, university scientists and programmers for whom a quiet working environment is essential.
The FT03 also offers room behind the motherboard tray for mounting two 3.5" drives and one 2.5" drive or SSD. With the use of an appropriate 2.5" to 3.5" adapter like the Scythe Twin Mounter, additional SSDs can be mounted two at a time in each of the 3.5" drive bays (excluding the hot-swap drive bay), massively increasing the storage options.
When drives are installed behind the motherboard, they are so close to the aluminium side panel that passive heat conduction does occur to help reduce drive temperature. For a hard drive installed in the hot-swappable bay, an aluminium block pre-attached to the side panel will also help to conduct heat away from the drive.
The top panel on the FT03 is very well ventilated so regardless of the cooling system in use within the case, the warm air can always rise and quickly exit the case vertically. This is particularly important if you are building a fanless system into the case.
Also featured just below the top panel is an additional 3.5 hot-swap drive bay which is ideal for performing a quick data backup and then easy removal of the drive for storage in a safe place away from the main system.
Like any modern case, the FT03 sports two high speed USB 3.0 ports on the front panel, (internal motherboard cable supplied), along with audio jacks, power and reset buttons. Long PCI Express expansion cards are also supported up to 300mm in length.
The front loading optical drive slot offers a perfect way to install an optical drive into the case without the need for an unsightly 5.25" drive to spoil the sleek, elegant front of the case.
If you are looking for more than just a quiet PC, the FT03 provides beautiful yet elegant design and style that won't look out of place anywhere from a living room to design studio.

"Utterly and incredibly amazing, went way beyond the call of duty to ensure my PC was the right one for me."
"I am visually impaired and thus required extra support when purchasing and configuring my PC. QPC helped me configure the PC over the phone, set up my shopping basket for me and then helped me out, over a skype video link no less when i had a problem with the PC and had no one round to assist me.
This company is incredible. They always have time for a chat and are extremely caring of the customer, something very rare these days. I know, if I need them, they are only a click, or a call away. Thank you QPC."

** Sign up below for Scooterjon's monthly newsletter! Thanks for reading!
Sports has always been in my life. From the age of six whatever sport was in season I was playing. It seems my brother and I were always lining up neighborhood games. Grade school thru high school I was playing organized ball. In junior college I was the one who lined up friends for intramural teams. In my 20's and early 30's I was playing softball in the summers and racquetball at the health clubs I managed in the winters. I was always stayed around 180-195 pounds. Even during the first 20 years of my MS career I watched what I ate and stayed active.
I dug out my ancient memory for this post. On January 1, 1984 I was fat!! Too much beer and too many pizzas. Wanting to look like a health club manager I decided to lose 30 pounds. Took me four months to do it but on May 1, 1984 I was 30 pounds lighter. I did this by playing racquetball, riding a stationary bike, paying attention to what went in my mouth and counting calories! Unfortunately, like many people I've been gaining and losing that same 30 pounds for 34 years now.
Three years ago in March of 2015 I got on a scale at my neurologists office. I weighed a whopping 251 pounds. Never ever in my life had I weighed that much! I guess when I stopped standing and walking in 2011 I should have stopped eating. lol I went home that day and immediately put myself on my own 1,500 calorie per day eating program. I also got out my Post-It notes. I wrote down everything I ate and drank for two years.
I also figured my daily Cokes and chocolate milk in that 1,500! A bottle of Coke is 260 calories and a glass of chocolate milk is about 200 cals. After my drinks I probably was only eating 1,000 cals per day. I ate everything I wanted to but just kept track of the calories. Calories are in parenthesis. Eggs (75 each), can of soup (150-180), 6 inch pizzas (300), yogurt (100), rice dishes (150), slice of bread (70) were some of the things I ate. One pound equals 3,500 calories. You have to burn off or not eat 3,500 calories to lose a pound.
After two years of counting calories in March of 2017 I ended up with two 4 inch stacks of Post-It notes and I was 20 pounds lighter! I'd proved to myself I could lose weight without legs and by just counting calories!! It was a struggle at times but I did it. Jack LaLanne and Richard Simmons would have been proud! Guess what I did then? I was getting neurotic writing down cals so I threw away my Post-It notes and slowly gained back 15-20 pounds.
That brings me up to July of 2018. I have to lose 30 pounds again with no legs. My wife and I belonged to a health club in West Fargo for four years. We got in shape until my bowels and anxiety kicked in. The club was only 2 miles away but I didn't even want to drive that far with my bowel problem. While at the club I fell in love with the NuStep T5 recumbent bicycle. The T5 counts your miles, calories burned, your speed, and minutes ridden. There are 15 different speeds and 5 different courses to bike on. I can strap my feet onto the pedals and there are braces for my weak legs. My legs don't do too much on the T5, my arms are propelling the movement. It feels so good though to break a sweat!
A T5 normally costs $5,500 and I don't have that kind of money. We needed to find a used one. My wife was diligent looking for a T5. She looked on Craigslist, Facebook and Ebay for a year. Doris finally found a used T5 in Colorado. The lady was selling the T5 because a disabled relative wasn't riding it anymore. It was in great condition, almost brand new! We were able to buy it for $1,000 and a $1,000 for shipping. I'm riding it everyday now and getting back into whatever shape is possible with PPMS. I'm enjoying it tremendously!

Story Pile: Kakegurui
It's not often people approach me and suggest anime to me. I'm pretty fidgety about anime these days, because I watch it subbed (for no reason I can adequately explain) and I don't like watching TV shows I can't watch while I work on other things. Still, it was in Netflix, it was easy to get, and what they hey, it looked kinda interesting so let's check out this anime.
It opens with a character losing a poker hand based on an Amazing Hand, which is a huge red flag for me about people not knowing how poker works. This was not an auspicious beginning for a series that I later heard described as Death Note For Money.
Anyway, I quite liked Kakegurui.

DISCLAIMER: Just before you go on reading this post, please be aware that some photos featured in this article are graphic.
Browsing the Internet about the most helpful and useful gadget out there for travelers I didn't know I would end up writing this post! Seriously, it cracks me up seeing these things and I can't help not to share this non-sense post about it but getting a good laugh from it may probably be a good reason to do it.
It wasn't my first time to see this online but I thought it would be really helpful for women travelling, especially in a long bus ride like border crossing that takes more than 10 hours most of the time. You know that sometimes it takes time to get to the 'nearest' gas station or local restaurant's toilet, and that's is quite painful. What about when they can just pull over and the male passengers can just whip out their 'bells', easily jingle it and alas! Done and relieved.
Would I use it? Honestly, if they'd send me one to review it, I'd do it. Who knows, it might be really helpful.
Earlier generations have invented this by just sewing piece of cloth to their bras. It would be helpful when you're always taking public transport during the rush hour, and just like our last weird travel tool it will do a good job hiding your small valuables.
As much as I'm disgusted seeing this thing, I thought it was brilliant. It is very useful and the crap IS fake to function safely if you left your stash inside when you're in a hotel or hostel. Nobody would want to touch a 'filthy' underwear laying around (I couldn't even stand looking at it, let alone touch it. Eeeewwe!).
Don't tell me I didn't warn you about the graphic photo but I think some of you can agree that these could be useful. It is indeed, 3 Weirdest and (Possibly) Helpful Travel Tools I've come across out there at the 'www' and might be even more weird physically. Oh well, you tell me… What do you think?

|Fan with Christian Laettner at Final Four Fan Fest. Image via @laettnerball.
The bad news for former Duke and NBA star Christian Laettner is that neither he or those of use in the unwashed masses will get to see a repeat of the 1992 Duke vs. Kentucky NCAA Men's Basket Ball Championship. The good news? Laettner is now second behind Wisconsin's Frank Kaminsky as the least popular basketball player in Kentucky basketball history (at least for now).
Though when you think about it, that might be even worse news for Laettner, who does seem to like being the boogeyman in Wildcat nightmares.
Whatever the case, Laettner is still in Indianapolis spending his Easter Sunday signing autographs at the NCAA Final Four Fan Fest.
Here at #FanFest now with @Buick pic.twitter.com/ArFeHRfIGp
— Christian Laettner (@laettnerbball) April 5, 2015
The best part of the deal for Laettner is that Duke will have a chance to dominate Frank the Tank on Monday night in the title game on Monday night. By then, he may have taken his title as "most hatred athlete in Kentucky" by then.

OK, the details are finally here!
Class Fee*: $16.00
Dates: Saturday, June 6th 10am-noon
Wednesday, June 10th 7-9pm
Making masculine cards is always hard to do, at least for me! No ribbon, no flowers, no Pretties, no bling. What's a girl to do? Well, the "To The Nines Specialty Paper" has definitely made it much easier. I know, I keep saying I love this paper, but I do Love This Paper! The texture on these specialty paper gives them such a rich look.
Anyway, this is a great way to stock up on "manly" cards and make a little something for Dad. Come make 6 cards (3 of each design) and a great little Father's Day booklet. There is a place to put a picture, to write why he's so great, and a place to give him a couple "coupons" good for having the car washed or sleeping in on the weekend.
*Class Fee Includes: All supplies needed to make 6 cards and booklet. Also 1 pkg of To The Nines Specialty paper (minus what you need to make the cards). Don't worry, there will be plenty of paper left over to make a ton of cards and perhaps a matching scrapbook layout.....hhhmmmm. I'll also include instructions for making a really nice gift bag to match! And there'll be snacks, of course!
Contact me today or click on the PayPal button to pay for the class and reserve your spot at the same time.
