Voters Reject Four of Five State Questions
Measures can reach the ballot by Initiative Petition, or as a Legislative Referendum. An Initiative Petition for a change in the state Constitution required the collection of 123,725 valid signatures of voters. A proposed a change to state statutes or laws, required only 65,987 signatures. A statutory change can be repealed by the Legislature, while amending the state Constitution makes it harder for future legislatures to repeal the changes. A Legislative Referendum must pass both houses of the Legislature, but does not require approval by the governor. Once a State Question qualifies to be on the ballot, the governor sets the election date. The Secretary of State then notifies the State Election Board of the State Question number, the ballot title, and the date of the election.
State Question 788, the medical marijuana initiative, was approved with 57 percent of the vote. That initiative was for a statutory change. There are some gaps in the numbering of the State Questions, since some sponsors of proposed initiatives either withdrew their petitions or failed to gather enough signatures to secure a place on the ballot. At the time that State Question 788 was up for a vote, two petition drives organized by Green the Vote were in progress for other marijuana initiatives. Their Medical Marijuana initiative, which would have been State Question 796, fell short of the required signatures. Unlike the one approved by voters which only made changes to statutes, that initiative would have been a change to the state Constitution. The Oklahoma Secretary of State's office counted only 95,176 valid voter signatures on the initiative petition. The other marijuana initiative, which would have been State Question 797, would have permitted recreational use of marijuana. This second petition effort also fell short with just 102,814 valid signatures.
Of the five State Questions before voters on the November 6 ballot, only one was the result of an initiative petition. The other four questions were legislative referendums.
SQ 793 – Allowing Optometrists, Opticians, and Eyewear Retailers in Big Box Stores
Oklahomans for Consumer Freedom, a group supported by Walmart, gathered and submitted signatures for Initiative 415 which appeared on the ballot as State Question 793. The Secretary of State confirmed 249,451 valid signatures, over twice the number required. The proposal would have allowed optometrists or opticians and eyewear retailers to operate within large retail stores like Costco, Target, or Walmart. Only Oklahoma, Delaware, and Rhode Island prohibit the sale of prescription optical goods in such stores. Current laws and regulations prohibit retail establishments from selling prescription glasses and contacts unless a majority of the establishment's income comes from the sale of those products. This is the requirement that prevents the Big Box Stores from selling glasses in the state. Oklahoma would have also joined 34 other states in allowing an optometrist's clinic to be located within and considered part of such a retail establishment. The measure would have allowed the Legislature to restrict optometrists from performing surgeries within those establishments, limit the number of locations at which an optometrist may practice, maintain optometric licensing requirements, require optometric offices to be in a separate room of a retail establishment, and impose health and safety standards. Supporters said that Oklahoma consumers would benefit from lower prices due to the more competitive market.
This was the only State Question to faced an organized opposition campaign. Opponents of the measure, the Oklahoma Association of Optometric Physicians, spent $1.9 million to defeat the initiative. The campaign against State Question 793 was mostly a scare campaign which worked. The measure was narrowly defeated with the No votes getting 50.24 percent of the vote. "While we are disappointed in tonight's outcome, we are excited that we have brought this to the attention of voters. Even the most vocal of opponents have repeatedly indicated they have no problem with the basic concepts of allowing these functions in retail settings, but [were] just opposed to the Constitutional nature and one specific line. We are ready to remove that line and seek a legislative remedy for those Oklahoma families who desire additional choices," read a statement issued by the Yes on 793 campaign.
SQ 794 – Expand Crime Victim Rights
This measure was a legislative referendum. Senate Joint Resolution 46 was approved by the Legislature and appeared on the ballot as State Question 794. The measure was authored by Sen. Anthony Sykes (R-Moore) and Rep. Scott Biggs (R-Chickasha). Known as Marsy's Law for Oklahoma, the proposal amends the state constitution to elevate the rights of crime victims to mirror the rights granted to the accused and convicted. It was named for the sister of its strongest proponent, Henry T. Nicholas, a businessman in the semiconductor field. His sister, Marsalee "Marsy" Nicholas, was shot and killed by her ex-boyfriend in 1983. Days later, the accused killer was out on bail and confronted Henry Nicholas and his mother at a grocery store. The family did not know the man had been released. Nicholas made it his mission to require that crime victims and their families receive notification of similar decisions and founded a group, Marsy's Law for All, to advocate for such a law in all states. Six states – California, Illinois, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Ohio – had passed a version of Marsy's Law prior to the Oklahoma vote. Opponents of the measure charged that the extensive notification requirements place an unreasonable financial burden on local court systems that lack the funds for a dedicated victims' rights staff. The measure would require tracking and notifying thousands of crime victims about criminal cases. Last June, voters in South Dakota placed curbs on that state's 2016 law after counties incurred substantial costs in implementing the new rights for victims.
The coalition of support for SQ 794 included a range of victims of crime and their families, law enforcement, advocates and general supporters of the cause for equal rights for crime victims. Statewide voices of support include endorsements from Oklahoma Association of Chiefs of Police, Oklahoma Coalition Against Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault, Oklahoma District Attorneys Council, Oklahoma Fraternal Order of Police, Oklahoma Sheriffs Association, Oklahoma Women's Coalition, and YWCA of Oklahoma City.
The measure had virtually no organized opposition, but supporters ran a multi-million dollar campaign to get it passed. It was approved by voters with 78.01 percent of the vote.
SQ 798 – Elect Governor and Lt. Governor on a Single Ticket
This was another of the legislative referendums. Senate Joint Resolution 66 was authored by Sen. Adam Pugh (R-Edmond) and Rep. Mark Lepak (R-Claremore). State Question 798 would have amended the state constitution to elect the governor and lieutenant governor together on one ticket starting in 2026. In 17 states, including Oklahoma, the lieutenant governor is elected separately from the governor. The neighboring states of Texas and Arkansas also have separate elections.
In 26 states, the lieutenant governor is selected on a ticket with the governor, meaning the lieutenant gubernatorial candidate serves as the running mate to the gubernatorial candidate, with the winning gubernatorial candidate's running mate becoming lieutenant governor. In 18 of those 26 states, candidates for governor pick their own running mate in a similar fashion to presidential candidates. In eight of those 26 states, there are separate primaries for governor and lieutenant governor, with the winning candidates in each party appearing on the general election ticket together.
The lieutenant governor is the first in line to become the new governor of Oklahoma upon the death, resignation or removal of the governor. The lieutenant governor also serves as the president of the Oklahoma State Senate, presiding over joint sessions of the state Legislature, and can cast the tie-breaking votes in the Senate. The lieutenant governor also presides over, appoints a designee, or is a member of 10 state boards and commissions.
The main argument for the proposal is that having the governor and lieutenant governor run on the same ticket would prevent them from being from different parties. At various times, Oklahoma's governor and lieutenant governor have belonged to different parties. The last time this happened was during the first term of Democrat Gov. Brad Henry from 2003 to 2007when Republican Mary Fallin was lieutenant governor. If approved, it would would have been up to the Legislature to pass legislation to determine how the governor and lieutenant governor would be elected on a single ticket. This was perhaps the greatest flaw in the proposal, and likely caused its defeat. Voters were faced with voting to place them on the same ticket, without knowing how that would be done. The measure failed with the No votes receiving 54.09 percent of the vote.
SQ 800 – Create Oklahoma Vision Fund
This legislative referendum was sponsored by Sen. John Sparks (D-Norman) and State Rep. Charles McCall (R-Atoka) as Senate Joint Resolution 35. This measure would have set aside 5 percent of revenue from the state's oil and gas production tax each year into a fund called the Oklahoma Vision Fund that would be invested by the Oklahoma State Treasurer, including investments in private companies and stocks and subject to what is known as the prudent investor rule. Between July 1 and September 30 each year, 4 percent of the average of the money in the fund over the previous five years – calculated annually on June 30 – would be transferred to the state's general revenue fund. The amendment was also designed to prohibit any more than 5 percent of the money in the fund from being spent to pay bond debt or to pay back other financing mechanisms.
The state already has a Constitutional Reserve Fund, often called the "Rainy Day Fund,"which was created in 1985. That fund holds surplus funds taken in by the state and can be tapped by the Legislature for emergencies and at times of a budget crisis. Also, in 2016 the Legislature created the Revenue Stabilization Fund to help save even more money for economic downturns. Opponents said another fund was not needed, and would divert taxes needed to fund current government services into a permanent fund from which only a small fraction of the money could be accessed each year. The new fund was rejected with the No votes getting 57.22 percent.
After the failure at the ballot, Sen. John Michael Montgomery (R-Lawton) and Rep. Kyle Hilbert (R-Bristow) announced their intention to reintroduce the concept. "What I heard during this past campaign from those opposed to the Vision Fund was not an opposition to the concept, but an opposition to certain details within the proposal. I am committed to working with stakeholders on all sides to take this from a concept to reality," said Montgomery.
SQ 801 – Use School Ad Valorem Taxes for Operations
This legislative referendum was enabled by the passage of Senate Joint Resolution 70. It appeared on the ballot as State Question 801. It was authored by Sen. Stephanie Bice (R-Oklahoma City) and Rep. Elise Hall (R-Oklahoma City). The measure would have amended the state constitution to allow certain local voter-approved property taxes, known as ad valorem levies, to be used to fund school district operations rather than only for building construction and maintenance. Schools would be able submit property tax issues for voter approval to pay for utilities, teacher pay, textbooks, and new technology, just as they do now for construction or maintenance of school buildings. The 5 mill limit for school support would remain, so the combined total for buildings and operations could not exceed the 5 mill cap.
Critics said the amendment could allow the Legislature to reduce appropriations for education and enable teacher unions to push for tapping local property taxes for salary increases. Keeping funds reserved only for building and maintenance are beneficial to schools, and without the restriction, school districts may be pressured to put off necessary maintenance in order to be competitive on teacher pay. Both the Oklahoma State School Boards Association (OSSBA) and the Oklahoma Educators Association (OEA) warned that it could make voters think districts had more access to money, when in reality, they said, both the building funds and operating funds were limited. The measure narrowly failed with the No votes receiving 50.4 percent of the vote.

Occurrence of kidney stones is one of the frequent complaints related with the kidneys and is more commonly found in men between 30 and 50 years of age. The complaint is not restricted to any region, community or race or to the human beings. Even the animals can have kidney stones.
The salts and minerals, which are not required by the body, are naturally secreted out through urine. At times, they may become out of balance and may not be filtered out by the kidneys. In such case, they start getting deposited in the kidneys and develop into stones with passage of time.
Types of Kidney Stones
The stones may be of different types depending on the type of salt in the urine. Common types are calcium, uric acid, struvite, and cystine stones. Most frequently found are the calcium stones, out of which Calcium Oxalate and Calcium Phosphate are more common. These stones are not perfectly round and smooth like a ball. The shape is usually irregular. The average size may vary from one millimeter to a few centimeters in diameter. The stones may be found in one or both the kidneys and may be more than one in number at a time if the size is small.
Symptoms of Kidney Stones
The pain (also referred as renal colic) radiates from the affected kidney and is generally felt first in the region of that kidney but may also be felt in the back, deep in the abdomen as low as the pubic area. In some cases it may be felt in the area just below the middle of the rib cage in the front. The pain may be a constant dull pain or cutting sharp pain with fluctuating intensity. Other symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, fever, chills, burning sensation while urinating, swelling of the abdomen and pus in the urine. If the stone moves and gets stuck in the urethra, obstruction of urine would be the usual result causing intense pain. This condition might or might not have hematuria associated with it.
Treatment of Kidney Stones
- Surgery: Kidney stones can be easily removed through surgery but the cause of formation of stones is not redressed.
- Homeopathic Treatment for Kidney Stones: Homeopathy is known for effective removal of kidney stones. Homeopathic medicines can effectively remove kidney stones and even stop further formation. Some stones are softer, which get dissolved and pass quicker than the others whereas stones larger than the urinary passage should either be dissolved gradually or broken so that they can easily pass through the urinary passage without bruising the urinary tract. This process may take from a few days to a few weeks depending on size and type of the stone, which can be ascertained through laboratory tests.

Energy Centre Focus: Centre of the Brain – Pineal/Pituitary primarily but all centres are involved.
Endocrine Glands effected: complete endocrine system especially pineal
Underlying Emotions and False Beliefs: It is with great compassion and understanding that this is written for you. Depression is very real and not always easily diagnosed. The underlying emotion is very painful and you feel like you are cut off from any sense of assurance that your life is valuable and important. The opposite is true but you can't hear that when you are in emotional pain and mental anguish. The crown chakra centre when closed, means that you do not have enough access to your own Divine Light, Source and the Truth and Love within you. It is imperative that this now changes and you get an opportunity to permanently heal from this state. The development of the chakra system; especially to the crown is not something we are all taught when young so you would not know the benefits of them being open. Meditation and Spiritual growth, though more common now in families, may not have been available to you!
Separation from the Soul is a false perception as we can never be separated from it or the Source we call God or Universal Source. We just "think" that we are separated. When you start with your meditation program and an energy healing step by step process, you will begin to feel the connection; know the connection. The results will be most satisfying.
Counsel and Steps to Healing: To start with, you should speak to a Spiritual counsellor, friend or professional who can enlighten you on the feelings and thoughts you are suffering from. You will realize that you are NOT alone and that many, many people have this type of problem and when asked, all of them would love to see change in their lives. Feelings to you are very real and so are your thoughts…you don't know any other ones. When introduced to new thoughts, feelings and experiences you will find it first rather surreal and maybe even in need of support to appreciate and understand them. Once this becomes more a good habit and practice, you can feel yourself strengthen inside…that's right..inside of you!
7 layer chakra guided meditations are excellent to get the energy bodies developing in you as well as your deep breathing, perhaps even YOGA or other form of spiritual movement or dance. Once the energy starts moving, it will shift you out the stagnant and repetitive conditions. New neural pathways must start to be "dug" out to replace the old paradigm; old programs running through your thoughts. Knowing that you truly are an emanation of the Universal Source of All things and understanding clearly that you can never be separated from the Love and Light of Source may start to bring you some inner peace and reassurance right now.
You are encouraged to speak up about how you feel and search for the Truth and meaning of your very important and unique life. You are an important piece of the Big puzzle; the individuated drop of the glorious Ocean of life! May you find comfort in the guided meditations offered here.

Business News of Monday, 5 March 2018
Source: Class FM
The Public Utilities Regulatory Commission (PURC) has reduced electricity tariffs in the country.
A statement signed by Mami Dufie Ofori, Executive Secretary for the PURC said the review takes effect from 15th March 2018 and is expected to be reviewed again in 2019.
"The review process also took into consideration the impending Private Sector Participation (PSP) Concession within the Electricity Distribution Sector.
"The review process resulted in reductions in key utility cost. The reductions, which are based on PURC's 2015 Gazetted Electricity Tariffs are only on the energy charges and range from 10 % to 30 %. Maximum Demand and Service Charges remain the same as that of the 2015 gazetted tariffs," the statement said.
It added: "Effective march 15 2018, the electricity tariffs have been approved for customer categories, depending on their level of consumption.
"Residential customers, 17.4 %, Nonresidential customers, 30%, Special Load Tariffs Customers (LV,MV &HV) 25 %, Mines 10%. The tariffs structure remains the same and will be reviewed in 2019."
Read Full statement below…
The Public Utilities Regulatory Commission (PU RC), after extensive stakeholder consultations, detailed technical analysis of utility tariff proposals and consideration of inputs and concerns of consumers, has approved utility tariff reductions for various electricity customer categories, effective 15th March 2018.
The Commission received tariff proposals from the utility service providers in the electricity and water sectors namely, Ghana Grid Company Limited (GRIDCo ), Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG), Northern Electricity Distribution Company (NEDCo ), Enclave Power Company Limited (EPCL) and the Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL).
In line with Section 17(2) of the Public Utilities Regulatory Commission Act 1997, (Act 538) the Commission investigated the cost of production of all sources of supply of electricity to the distribution utilities. As prescribed by law, the Commission's decision-making process includes but is not limited to detailed technical analysis of tariff proposals and extensive stakeholder consultation, which were held to solicit views and inputs for the determination of the approved tariffs.
The Commission's key objectives in this tariff review were: • To ensure efficient and equitable tariffs; and
• To ensure that tariffs are relevant to the current socio-economic environment.
The following were the major considerations taken into account in arriving at the tariff decision: • Consumer Interest
• lnvestor lnterest
• Economic Development
• Revenue Requirement
• Natural Gas prices
• Re-negotiation of Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs)
• Prudent and Efficient costs of the operations of the utility companies
The Commission also took into consideration the impending Private Sector Participation (PSP) Concession within the Electricity Distribution Sector.
The review process resulted in reductions in key utility costs. The reductions, which are based on PURC's 2015 Gazetted Electricity Tariffs are only on the energy charges and range from 10% to 30%. Maximum Demand and Service Charges remain the same as that of the 2015 gazetted tariffs.
Effective March 15, 2018, the electricity tariffs summarised in Table 1 have been approved for the customer categories, depending on their level of consumption.
Table-1 Summary of PURC Approved Average Percentage Reduction in Tariffs
Customer Category PURC Approved Average Percentage Reduction
Residential Customers 17.5%
Non-Residential Customers
Special Load Tariff Customers (LV, MV & HV) Mines
The tariff structure therefore remains the same and will be reviewed in 2019.
Review of water tariffs require further consultations and the Commission is unable to announce a decision at this time. Water tariffs therefore remain the same and a decision will be taken in the coming weeks.
The Commission wishes to express its gratitude to all stakeholders for their input into the tariff approval process and will continue to monitor operations of the utility service providers to ensure value for money and quality of service delivery. The Commission will also continue to strictly implement its Automatic Adjustment Formula (AFF) in order to address changes in operational conditions.
The Commission's full decision will be published in the gazette in due course and will be available on the Commission's website: www.purc.com.gh

Asthma is an inflammatory condition of the airways. The walls of the airways have a tendency to be "sore" and because of this may be thought of as being sensitive to Allergies, Animals, Air pollutants,Colds & viral infections, Emotions, Exercise, House-dust mites, Medicines, Moulds & fungi, Pollen, Smoking which cause the airways to narrow. This makes it harder to breath out leading to the characteristic wheeze sound.
You can't go in with a tape measure to measure this. Hence we use a peak flow meter.You reset the meter to zero. You take a deep breath, put your lips tightly around the mouthpiece and blow out as fast and hard as you can. You always measure the best of 3.
The peak flow varies depending on the time that you take it even for non-asthmatics. The peak flow is worst in the morning and at night andbetter in the middle of the day. Hence if you are very unwell and it is late seek help sooner as it may deteriorate.
You may keep a peak flow diary and this would help establish the level of asthma/control. It would involve measuring the peak flow and noting the number of puffs of each inhaler used.
You can also use the peak flow when your chest feels tight, use the inhaler and the repeat the peak flow.
The peak flow that you can do depends on your age, sex and height. There are charts on peakflow. com that allow you to predict your peak flow.
Please note these may have changed with the new meters.
Blue inhalers (Relievers) e.g. salbutamol, ventolin open up the airways and are good as relievers. They do nothing to treat the soreness.
Brown inhalers (Preventers) e.g. Clenil The idea of using the steroid inhalers is that the steroids treat the soreness and hence reduce the sensitivity so hopefully you won't get wheezy or need the blue inhaler at all.
Sometimes people still need additional inhalers. These contain a long acting form of the blue inhaler that you don't get used to.
The difference of how much medicine reaches your lung can vary from 5% to 15% depending on how good your technique, so it is important to look at this and please review the videos.
Spacers minimize the problem of technique.

Chronic bronchitis, which involves a long-term cough with mucus.
Emphysema, is a destructive condition of the lungs over time which causes cavities (bullae) to form in the lungs.
Most people with COPD have a combination of both conditions.

Afro Samurai 2: Episode One Launches This Month With More Creepy Bears
The first of three episodes of Afro Samurai 2: Revenge of Kuma [official site], telling the story of a robot samurai with the face of a bear from your nightmares, is coming to Windows on September 22nd.
A spin-off of Takashi Okazaki's original manga, Revenge of Kuma follows the antics of the cybernetic bear dude Kuma, who at one point was a human guy and best friend to the titular Afro Samurai. Kuma – who, confusingly, is also known as Jinno – is now after poor Afro to avenge the death of his adopted little sister. Look, it makes sense if you played the first game.
The team at Redacted Studios have enlisted the help of Wu-Tang Clan's RZA who's helped to cultivate the musical talent for the game's original soundtrack. Here's what community director Lance James has to say about it:
"He's been the music director on the franchise since the original animated series (and did you know he's actually now been immortalized in Afro Samurai as a new character, Bobby Digital, who you'll get to see in this game). Music is such an important element to the Afro Samurai brand. They tell stories, provide context and drama to some of the most critical story elements of the game. In fact you can almost say the music was being worked on before even the game development had begun.
"Hundreds of hours have been put into the soundtrack. It's a labor of love, and a love for the franchise, that these tracks were created. Taking all this in — and with the guidance and support from RZA — you are going to experience a great Afro soundtrack."
You can have a look at some more of that teddy bear revenge below.

About Meredith Eastwood
home > about Meredith Eastwood
Dreams have always fired my imagination and inspired my creative projects.
As a child:
I lived day dreams through whimsical play. I pretended to be a wood elf, climbing trees in my grandmother's back yard. I painted my face, donned a feathered headband, and played the role of Tonto joining my best friend who dressed as the Lone Ranger. I imagined life in Sherwood Forest with Robin Hood and pictured myself a maiden during the days of Arthurian knights. I sailed with pirates on a buccaneer's schooner, walked the plank with Peter Pan and wandered the Yellow Brick Road with the Cowardly Lion and Tin Man. I soared to the far reaches of the universe as an astronaut, meeting Flash Gordon on his space ship.
As an adult:
I dreamed of knowledge and wisdom.
I earned degrees from the University of Florida, Butler University, and Indiana University Purdue University, Indianapolis.
I dreamed of a better world.
I advocated for civil rights and supported environmental organizations.
I dreamed of helping others.
I have been employed as a teacher, school counselor, tennis coach, summer camp leader, and youth mentor, working with students of all ages. I earned "Educator of the Year" in my previous professional position.
I dreamed of adventure and faraway places.
I toured the countries of Europe, sailed the Mediterranean, and led student groups to Greece, Italy and Turkey. I trekked the Appalachian Trail, Grand Canyon, Himalayas, Alps, and Peruvian Andes. I crawled into the Great Pyramids of Giza and Tomb of King Tut, strolled through the shopping bazaars of Istanbul, Cairo, and Delhi, hiked along paths among iguanas and birds on the Galapagos Islands, and climbed the Maya pyramids in Honduras. I rode horseback along the Lewis and Clark Trail, scuba dove on shipwrecks and kayaked coral reefs in the Caribbean.
I dreamed of Love.
I developed treasured friends, married my college sweetheart, and became a mother and grandmother.
I dreamed in pictures.
I see beauty and love in the world around us.
Today dreams and life experiences shape the tales I write and the groups I facilitate.

Fort Clatsop was the final encampment for the Corps of Discovery before their return trip east. Perhaps the greatest canoe-powered endeavor of the new world, the Corps of Discovery traveled from St. Louis, MO to the coast of the Pacific in present day Oregon. Led by Meriwether Lewis and William Clark it was an over two year perilous canoe journey, mapping and exploring the newly acquired Louisiana Purchase. Fort Clatsop was their winter HQ from Dec. 1805 until spring and their departure home.
This design is painted on the Sanborn Voyageur Heritage Paddle. With an elegantly traditional blade shape these are graceful in and out of the water. They're perfect for lazy turns around the lake or for gracing the wall of your cabin. Each is a laminated combination of western red cedar, aspen and black walnut.

LaLa Cards have
LaLa Cards® were created by Jennifer Conrad, DVM to offset the costs of her nonprofit veterinary projects. The animal-themed images on the cards are reproductions of original paintings by Dr. Conrad. These environmental-friendly cards are made from 100% recycled paper and use biodegradable inks. Proceeds from the sale of the cards will be used to fund the Paw Project and Animal General Hospital.
Dr. Conrad founded the Paw Project, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, to rehabilitate big cats, such as lions, tigers, cougars, and jaguars who have been maimed by the cruel practice of declawing. Actually an amputation of the last bone in the cat's toe, declawing cripples these magnificent creatures, both from the pain caused by the bone fragments left behind, and from the progressively debilitating arthritis produced by abnormal stress on other joints as the cats try to avoid walking on their tender toes. The Paw Project has performed over 100 reconstructive paw surgeries.
Animal General Hospital is also a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization. AGH, with its grant program, helps provide low-cost, no-cost, or subsidized veterinary care for animals from low-income families. All clients must agree to spay or neuter unaltered pets, unless medically contraindicated, in order to receive services.
Animal General Hospital strives to provide the finest veterinary care and husbandry possible to wildlife and domestic animals while teaching ethical and humane veterinary medicine to the future's veterinary technicians, field conservationists, zoo keepers and those interested in other animal related disciplines.

PolyAll 2000 Data
PolyAll 2000 is one of the most versatile home and industrial chemical products in the high tech arsenal of modern fillers and epoxies. The diversity of PolyAll 2000 and its ability to be modified endlessly by the addition of dry fillers and reinforcements lends itself to restoration work of all kinds. Like epoxy it is a two part product but unlike epoxy, PolyAll 2000 has the initial consistency of water. This enables it to soak into any porous surface, be poured into a complex mold, or flow between two broken parts that have to be bonded but cannot be separated.
PolyAll 2000 has another great advantage over any other similar filler or epoxy. It will set within three minutes after the two parts are mixed together. This means that its application will be speeded up many times over other products such as fiberglass resins and standard fillers. As a matter of fact multiple coats can be applied within the space of an hour and it can be sanded and painted within five minutes of being mixed or when it is cool to the touch.
All information provided is for raw materials only without addition of fillers.

Fillers must be dry and oil free. Sawdust, fiberglass, fly ash, sand, ground glass, aluminum powder, other metal powders, microspheres, ground or shredded newsprint etc. may be used. The low viscosity of the mixture allows for large loads of fillers, compared to typical polyesters and epoxies. The addition of fillers can extend the gel times by 50% - 75%.
Colouring Agents
Most dyes which are soluble in water are compatible with PolyAll 2000.
Processing Methods
Casting, Molding, Rim, Spray-On Coating, Adhesive, Wet Lay-up.
Mold Release
Mold release or barrier coat must be used, such as PVC, silicones and thermoplastics such as polyethylene.
- Wood restoration due to its ability to absorb quickly into porous surfaces
- Concrete crack filler and self leveling pourable patch for spalled surfaces
- Furniture industry
- Adhesion to many substrates including concrete, wood, steel, glass

Familial Hypercholesterolemia
Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a genetic condition characterized by high cholesterol levels. Cholesterol is a type of fat. Fats play an important role helping our body work properly. Similar to how oil and water do not mix, fats like cholesterol do not mix well with blood. Proteins called lipoproteins help cholesterol travel through our blood. One type of lipoprotein is LDL, or low-density lipoprotein. LDL helps cholesterol travel through the blood. High levels of LDL can be dangerous and lead to heart disease.
Each person has two copies of every gene, one from each parent. Our genes make up the recipe for who we are. When a gene is mutated, that means that the recipe has been changed in some way. FH is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern meaning one mutation from one parent is inherited by a child in order to cause symptoms.
Our bodies are able to re-use cholesterol, keeping cholesterol at a safe level. People with FH are not able to do this, causing high levels of LDL and cholesterol in the blood. Many people with FH do not notice symptoms until heart pain develops. Common visible symptoms are lumps of fat, called xanthomas, on the elbows, buttocks, knees, and tendons. Individuals may experience vision impairment or vision loss due to xanthomas on the eyelids or a light grey ring around the irises.
Individuals are at an increased risk of FH if there is heart disease in the family. To diagnose FH, doctors look for symptoms of the disease and use a blood test. Family history is important in making a diagnosis. FH is a treatable condition. Treatment is strongly based on making lifestyle changes like eating a healthy diet low in fats, certain meats, and dairy products and exercising regularly. There are also medications available to people with FH.
If you or a family member has been diagnosed with familial hypercholesterolemia, talk to your doctor about the most current treatment options.

The 20 best things to do in St Louis
Follow our guide to the best things to do in St Louis for a guaranteed fun time, whether solo or with friends
Baseball, beer, blues and BBQ: That's what most people think of when they talk about this city. But it's time to look beyond that and discover the other amazing things to do in St Louis—the kind of activities that make the Gateway to the West oh-so-special. From delicious restaurants to picture-perfect views, fantastic festivals and stunning hotels, St Louis deserves to be explored and lived-in like a local, whether you're visiting for just a couple of days or have a whole week.
Best things to do in St Louis
1. Busch Stadium
Drink at Paddy-O's after catching a Cardinals game at Busch Stadium
Going to a Cardinals game is about so much more than just baseball. Regardless of the time of the year or the opposing team, St Louis treats each Cardinals game like a mini-holiday. Start your excursion to baseball heaven by drinking with the locals at one of the many watering holes around the stadium before heading into Busch. Post game, head to Paddy-O's to continue the party, or wander down to the blues bars on Broadway.
2. Forest Park
Gaze at the city from up above Art Hill in Forest Park
Forest Park is a national treasure nearly two times the size of New York's Central Park, located smack dab in the middle of St Louis. It was the site of the 1904 World Fair and is now home to the city's cultural hubs: the Art Museum, the Science Center, the Muny Opera, the History Museum and the Zoo. There are many ways to experience Forest Park: grab lunch at the Boathouse, jog along one of the many paths or grab a blanket and take it all in from the top of Art Hill (pro tip: bring a cooler and spend an entire afternoon admiring the breathtaking views).
3. Salt + Smoke
Order the pulled pork sandwich at Salt + Smoke
There's no shortage of great barbecue in St Louis. It's the cuisine most associated with the city, and a "can't miss" when visiting. The hardest part will be deciding between the many delicious local options—but we're here to help, of course. Go to Salt + Smoke. Trust us. Oh, you're very welcome.
4. Delmar Loop
Start off your Delmar Loop tour at Pi Pizza
The Delmar Loop is one of the most celebrated streets in St Louis since way back when—and remains so today. Eclectically diverse, the area is home to boutique clothing stores, one of the city's biggest and best record shops, an iconic restaurant that played host to Chuck Berry and a mix of upscale and casual eateries serving a variety of global cuisines. We suggest you grab lunch at Pi Pizza and then start your trek down Delmar for an afternoon spent strolling and window shopping.
Book a food tour of Delmar Loop right here
5. Gateway Arch
Take a pretty scary ride up to the top of the Gateway Arch
Nothing screams St Louis quite like the Gateway Arch. Set along the banks of the Mississippi River, the soaring stainless steel arch is a timeless feature of Downtown St Louis and postcards alike. Visitors can walk the grounds, pose for selfies in front of the Arch or take a ride to the top. The trip up requires you to squeeze into a very small elevator pod so, if you're claustrophobic or scared of heights, you might want to pass on this one.
6. Anheuser-Busch Brewery
Take a beer school class at Anheuser-Busch Brewery
The OG of American beer, Anheuser-Busch's oldest and largest brewery has been nestled in the historic Soulard neighborhood in St Louis since its founding in 1852. Beer drinkers find the experience of visiting the brewery akin to a pilgrimage to Mecca. No trip to Soulard and its cobblestone streets would be complete without a tour of the property. The brewery offers multiple daily activities, from the 45-minute complimentary tour to a paid beer school class.
7. Guido's Pizzeria and Tapas
Eat traditional St Louis style pizza with a Schlafly beer in hand at Guido's Pizzeria and Tapas
The much maligned St Louis-style pizza is made of a super thin cracker-like crust that's topped with a large amount of provel cheese—which is basically a cheese that the city has made up. The most notable place to try the local favorite is the chain IMO's but, to really experience the best of the best, you should head to Guido's Pizza and Tapas, found in the Italian neighborhood The Hill. Sit outside, order a Schlafly beer and enjoy a very good version of traditional St Louis style pizza.
8. Grant's Farm
Take a picture with the Budweiser Clydesdales at Grant's Farm
This vast landmark is tough to define. You've just got to experience it. Once home to Ulysses S. Grant and later the Busch family, it's a historic mansion, an animal-reserve-meets-mini-theme-park and an event venue all in one. This free attraction is pretty hands on: Take a picture with the famous Budweiser Clydesdales, go for a wildlife tram ride and drink free beer samples. Repeat.
9. City Museum
Gaze at an old school bus hanging on the side of City Museum
This is a dreamland for kids and the young at heart. Don't think traditional museum, it's more of a jungle gym on steroids made from recycled materials—there's even an old school bus hanging from the side of the building. What else do you need to know? Once a shoe factory, this oddball museum is now a bastion of inspiration and quirky coolness in both the St Louis art and tourism scenes.
10. Ted Drewes
Devour one (or ten) concretes at Ted Drewes
Let any St Louis resident know you're visiting and expect a single question: Have you had frozen custard at Ted Drewes yet? Unless you're lactose intolerant, your answer should be "yes" or "I'm on my way." Sure, frozen custard is a lot like ice cream but don't you dare say that to any local. Go get yourself a concrete (the inspiration behind Shake Shack's) and experience pure bliss.
11. Whitaker Music Festival
Enjoy the free Whitaker Music Festival at the Missouri Botanic Gardens on summer evenings
The Missouri Botanical Gardens are always a must-visit for those looking to get in touch with nature but they are at their best on Wednesday evenings in the summertime, when the free Whitaker Music Festival concerts take place. Spend the afternoon strolling the stunning grounds with friends and family and then bust out your blankets and picnic baskets once the music starts playing.
12. Broadway Oyster Bar
Listen to live music at Broadway Oyster Bar
St Louis was built on blues and rock & roll and, boasting the most venues per capita across the entire country, it is clearly a music city. You've got a whole lot of options to choose from when craving to watch a live act but our favorite will always be Broadway Oyster Bar. Get rocking.
13. Cherokee Street
Eat tacos and buy some antique home decor pieces on Cherokee Street
One street, three personalities and so much culture. Start at the eastern end of Cherokee Street near The Mud House and grab a coffee before checking out the stores lining Antique Row, always filled with interesting treasures. As you wander west and crossover Jefferson Street, the vibe becomes artsy, with funky eateries, progressive galleries and local boutiques taking over. Grab a beer at Fortune Teller bar or indulge in raclette cheese fries at Frankly—maybe do both? Farther along, enter St Louis' version of Little Mexico, where you'll find authentic taquerias that will make you salivate.
14. National Blues Museum
Play musical instruments alongside an actual band at the National Blues Museum
Whether you're a diehard fan of blues music or not, you should definitely spend a chunk of time at the National Blues Museum. Expect interactive exhibits that will prompt you to play musical instruments alongside a local jug band or create your own mix and album covers in DJ-style booths found inside. You won't get bored in here.
15. St Louis Zoo
Gaze at polar bears at the St Louis Zoo
Aren't all zoos the same? Not when you're dealing with the St Louis Zoo, comprised of 90 acres of space that house over 18,000 wild animals (including polar bears!). This is one of the best zoos across the country, found within one of the most beautiful parks you'll ever see (Forest Park) and, best of all, it is completely free to visit!
16. Mike Talayna's Juke Box Restaurant
Dance the night away with cheap alcohol in hand at Mike Talayna's Juke Box Restaurant
Overall, St Louis isn't known as an all-night-clubbing kind of city. Most visitors and locals like to enjoy a beer at a down-to-earth-looking bar—except when it comes to Mike Talayna's Juke Box Restaurant. If you're craving an unforgettable night that you sometimes wish you could forget, head over here and get ready to dance under disco balls and purple lights while sipping on incredibly cheap drinks.
17. The Luminary
Buy art at The Luminary
Feeling artsy? The Luminary, a self-described "incubator for new ideas in the arts," hosts regular exhibitions, live music acts and workshops that art experts and novices are sure to enjoy. But what makes the space even more awesome is the actual art from local artists that is up for sale here. Let's support the arts!
18. LouFest
Party all weekend long at LouFest, a music festival in Forest Park
LouFest is so much more than a two-day music festival in Forest Park. You will find local makers from all over the city, food and drinks made by St Louis-based breweries and restaurants in one of the most beautiful parks in the entire world. If that's not enough, revel in the great lineup of musical acts that take over the festival each year.
19. Three Sixty
Enjoy a cocktail outside while gazing at a killer view at Three Sixty
The rooftop at Three Sixty boasts killer views of downtown, the Arch and Busch Stadium. Add to it delicious cocktails and you've got yourself a must-try activity. The venue stays open until 2am on weekends and also offers a fun outdoor space that includes a restaurant.
20. Pulitzer Arts Foundation
Revel in antique and modern art at the Pulitzer Arts Foundation
There's no better place to spend a casual afternoon discussing art than the Pulitzer Arts Foundation. You will find both historical and contemporary art inside the beautiful "made for Instagram" space, designed by internationally renowned Japanese architect Tadao Ando.

As we have discussed in our previous post about the basics of the trigger then write a trigger to update the list of contact in an Account based on the value given in a field.But that trigger is not written in the best way.
Today we learn about the best ways to write a trigger.
What do you think what was the problem in the previous post or in the previous code.??!!
The Problem is that the account which created the contact is the last account of the loop.Because the whole loop will run and when it reaches the last account it will go out and add the contacts.Let's see it with the help of code:
trigger createContact on Account (after insert, after update){
List<contact> contlist=new List<contact>();
for(Account a:Trigger.new){
integer i=0;
if((trigger.isUpdate && a.No_of_Contact__c != Trigger.oldMap.get(a.id).No_of_Contact__c) || trigger.isInsert)
contact c=new contact();
c.LastName='Cont Of '+a.Name+'-'+i;
insert contlist;
In this code, we create a list of Contact then inside the for loop we added the contact by fetching the number of contact from "Trigger.oldMap.get(a.id).No_of_Contact__c". The contact will be added to the account until the while loop breaks the value of i.
Then in the last, we check if there is something on the Contact list "contlist", if the number is greater than 0 then it will be inserted into the account.
You can understand the concept of trigger through our youtube video in which each detail is explained verbally as well as practically. To go to our Youtube page or video click below:

text: Wow I decided this is my new favorite webpage you guys have the answers to everything. So I had just an intake and exhaust on my Del Sol and it obviousley made no real difference on the performance. I have an intake on the way because I love the sound and a header because my current one is cracked but I am sure that will not give me any noticable HP. My theory is that if I get an intake manifold to go with my intake it will make the short ram worth while and I might actually notice something? Does anyone have any suggestions as to what to get other than forced induction or higher compression pistons to make decent gains?

A look at Charles Lindbergh's rise from aviation pioneer to auction star
A look at Charles Lindbergh's rise from aviation pioneer to auction star
Exactly 84 years after man's first nonstop trans Atlantic flight took off, we examine its pilot's legacy
It's a fact that bidders at collectibles auctions are attracted to 'firsts'. Whether it's memorabilia attached to mankind's first Moon landing, orto the first President of the United States...
And today in history, May 20, 1927, another landmark "first" for mankindbegan - an event that was as important to its era as when Neil Armstrong set foot on the Moon in 1969.
Six people had alreadydiedattempting the same feat, and the person who achieved it became a national hero: none other than aviation pioneer Charles Lindbergh.
Due to the importance of his rolein history, Charles Lindbergh'sautographs, like this exampleon a dinner menu for sale, willcontinue to grow in value
On that day, Lindbergh took off for Paris from Roosevelt Field in Long Island, New York, in his customised plane, the Spirit of St Louis.
Thirty-three hours and 30 minutes later he would safely land in the French capital, having successfully completed the first nonstop solo flight across the Atlantic Ocean.
The event was human history'sfirst ever non-stop flight:3,600 statute miles. Needless to say, the world was never the same again...
And neither were the collectibles markets. Just like Neil Armstrong (who is today the world's rarest and most valued living signature) Lindbergh has broughthuge gainsto collectors worldwide.
In 1999 a collection ofLindberghrarities sold for$178,000, including hammer fee. Included were a five-line typewritten endorsement signed byLindbergh, some other pieces of mail carried on the Spirit of St Louis and an autographed note.
Even a letter written and posted byLindberghafter his arrival in Parisbrought $75,000 at another sale in 2002.
Yet even more impressive than these examples are three pieces of memorabilia that are still for sale on the private markets: a collection of parts from the Spirit of St Louis herself...
After residing in the collection ofLindbergh's trusted engineer, Kenneth Lane, for decades, the parts are up for sale with an asking price of 125,000. Their counterparts can still be found in the Spirit of St Louis, which is exhibited in the Smithsonian alongside the Apollo 11 Lunar Module.
And, considering that the Apollo 11 Lunar Module's value is estimated attens of millions of dollars, it's pretty much a given that Charles Lindbergh's collectibles - whether it's his autograph, or other more unique pieces - will continue bringing huge gainsto collectors as alternative investments for many years to come.

My Babe Healthy Lifestyle Box
This weekend-June 14th- is my babe birthday and most do not know that I am in a LDR (long distant relationship). My babe is on this lifestyle journey of eating better and losing weight. To date, he has lost 100lbs and I am so proud of him. But because we are in two different states, I wanted to do something for him that will help him along on his journey.
I am one of them girls who really listens to my family and friends as to what they like, don't like etc……and when events come around such as birthdays, anniversaries etc….I like to give gifts and try to make gift cards as a last resort. I love to see the expressions/smiles on their faces. So, I was listening to my babe tell someone on his FB page that he wanted to get a blender so that he can make smoothies, since he said that it has always stayed in my mind, so it was perfect for me to make him a "healthy lifestyle" care box with the blender in it.
Contents of the box:
Oatmeal- breakfast is his favorite meal of the day
Walnuts/Almonds-These are his favorite snacks when on the go
Blender-for his new favorite thing… smoothies
Bigger Loser Book-for continued inspiration
Orbit gum-this gum curves his appetite while he's hard at work
Oh and what's a birthday without cake? So, yes I sent my babe a Red Velvet CamiCake and of course I had to personalize it with their own label on the jar. J
He has already received the box and he was so surprised and happy.
