If you are pregnant right now, you will need to start thinking about your confinement arrangement and if this is your first baby, you may be wondering what to do about your confinement.
In my opinion, having your mother or mother-in-law (assuming you get along fine with them) do your confinement for you is the best arrangement. If you are fortunate enough to have this option, count your blessings!
Firstly, they are true family and will go the extra mile to help you. Your own mother will know your taste in food and you are used to the kind of cooking she does. Although the down side is that they tend to be the most interfering people around, and you may find them naggy and dislike the way they interfere with how you want to take care of your baby, to me, this is still the best arrangement compared to the other options which I will elaborate later. At least, try to overcome the little disagreements here and there and treasure this blessing of having family do your confinement.
Confinement Nanny
It is also common for people to engage a confinement nanny to take care of them and the baby during the one month confinement. Typically, there are two sources – local confinement nannies or foreign (Malaysian) confinement nannies. If you are hiring a Malaysian confinement nanny, please note that it is illegal to do so without applying for a work permit and paying the Foreign Worker Level for her. For more information, please refer to Ministry of Manpower website.
According to people who have engaged the service of confinement nannies, some of the common problems with engaging local confinement nannies are higher costs, fussier nannies who won't perform certain duties (e.g. Cleaning the house or doing the night feeds) and the tendency for them to quit midway and not completing the whole month's worth of work.
Malaysian nannies tend to give less of such problems. According to people in the confinement nanny business, these days, it is harder to find experienced nannies from the local market, which leads to more people employing Malaysian nannies. Another key factor for the popularity of Malaysian nannies is that they are cheaper to employ. However, if you factor in the Foreign Worker Levy, I find the cost difference to be small.
Whether you are employing a local or a Malaysian nanny, my advice is to rely on word of mouth recommendation. This is much better than to rely on an agency to find a nanny for you. The agencies will always claim that they only use experienced nannies or that their nannies come highly recommended by previous clients. But there is no way for you to verify this as confinement nannies don't come with certification. So nothing beats recommendation of people you really know.
My Experience with Nanny Agency
For my second baby, I engaged a nanny through an agency that is supposed to specialise in confinement nannies. They are supposed to have many years of experience in this business and have a pool of very experienced nannies. As I have already been through one confinement (which my mother did for me), I already had a good idea what I wanted from the nanny and I specified my requests to the agency.
The reason why I went through an agent was because I thought it would be better to deal with such engagement at arms' length. Word of mouth usually involves friends or relatives of someone you know and if things turn sour, it could be awkward. You may be obliged to keep the nanny even though she may be a nanny from hell. Secondly, employing through an agency usually guarantees that you can change within a day or two should the nanny turned out to be unsatisfactory. This is something you can't get if you employ someone through word of mouth. If you sack your nanny whom you engage through word of mouth recommendation, then you would be stranded with no help after that.
It turned out that the second confinement was the worst I had. The nanny was terribly unqualified. I had to teach her what to cook and how to cook. Before the baby came, I bought all the necessary confinement food ingredients and herbs. But the nanny hardly knew how to use them and had to be taught. The worst part was that she was terribly unteachable and unwilling to follow our instructions. I had to repeatedly tell her what to do before she would comply and I even had to spot check her. The moment my back was turned, she would revert to her old ways.
She could not cook a lot of common confinement dishes. It was fortunate that I trusted no one to cook the Pig's Trotter in Vinegar but asked my mother to take care of that particular dish for me. When the nanny saw the dish and tried it herself, she had the cheek to ask my mother how the dish was done. This was despite the fact that I specifically asked for a Cantonese nanny who knew how to cook cantonese confinement dishes, of which this dish is one of the most common.
As for the other dishes, she only could cook something decent after seeing what my mother brought for me now and then. Other times, like my hubby said, I ate worse than army food. Everyday, it would be different kinds of veggies fried with fish cake. It could be beans for lunch and broccoli for dinner but always done the same way. She could not even cook a decent Sesame chicken or Rice Wine Chicken.
Initially, she would cook the same thing for me as well as the rest of the family. This should not be the case because confinement food are usually not suitable for normal people. Confinement nannies will always cook separately for the new mother. My nanny had to be told before she would do this.
These are just the main issues with her incompetence. I spent the whole one month boiling over her incompetence and her reluctance to comply with instructions. You may wonder why I didn't exercise my right to change a nanny. The thing is, we realised that you won't know how bad a nanny is within days. We tried to give her the benefit of doubt in the beginning and see if things would change. After all, confinement practices vary and not everyone does things exactly alike. We did speak to the agency about our unhappiness. Their response was typical denial – "We have used her many times before and no one complained", "I have not heard of using black beans in confinement", etc. It was only after many calls that they offered to replace a nanny. By the time things got really unbearable, it was already 2 weeks into my confinement, and I felt that it would be pointless to change a nanny just for another two weeks, having to go through the trouble of getting used to a new person again. Besides, the next one could be just as bad.
We thought about it and figured that the nanny probably got away with knowing little because she was probably assigned to people who were new parents and didn't know much about confinement practices, or people who just didn't care too much.
A friend also experienced the same thing. She too knew that her agency nanny was incompetent because she had a good nanny before. The second one had to be taught what to do.
Hence, these days, I am of the opinion that if you are hiring a confinement nanny, it is better to do so through word of mouth recommendation of people whom you know and trust. Having said that, it is still important that you ask and check thoroughly to ensure that the recommended nanny fulfills your requirements. As I said before, confinement practice varies from person to person, so the nanny may be very good but may not suit your particular requirements.
Foreign Domestic Worker
This is another alternative you can consider, especially if you are not particular about confinement practices and you are already hiring a foreign domestic worker or intent to do so.
You can try to train your foreign domestic worker to cook some confinement dishes before your baby arrives. During your confinement, you can instruct her to cook the dishes that she learned. Besides cooking, you may also need to train her in basic baby care. If you are not sure about confinement practices yourself, you can prepare by asking around, and getting some confinement food recipe books. Nowadays, such recipe books are easily available in book shops.
We used this arrangement for my 3rd confinement and it worked out fine. At least, my FDW won't complain about having to do housework (as some confinement nannies would).
Confinement Food Delivery
This is yet another option if you just want a simple confinement. If you have someone helping you with housework and baby care, e.g. Foreign Domestic Worker, but don't have anyone to take care of the cooking, you can consider ordering confinement food delivery, or locally known as tingkat meals. There are companies dealing with confinement food. I have not tried the quality of the food though.
Last option is not to have a formal confinement. I know of people who basicallly get back to normal life just within days after delivery a baby. While this is not impossible, I personally am not in favour of it. The main reason is because I feel that it is important for the mother to have adequate rest and the time to get to know the new baby and bond with the baby. Even if you are an experienced mom, no two babies are alike and you will need the time to get to know the new baby.
Confinement is not something that only the Chinese practises. Across many cultures, confinement or babymoon is a common practice. The time period and the specific practices may differ from culture to culture. But the common idea is that this is the time for the mother to recuperate from her 9 months pregnancy and her labour.
Hence, I find that instead of trying to be too gungho, why not just take the time to rest and relax? Even if you are the type who can't sit still for a moment, it is still good to just slow down your pace for one month and enjoy your baby. Even if you do not subscribe to the confinement practices of your culture, there is no harm just taking things a bit leisurely for a while. Work will always be there. But you can never get back the precious time with a new baby.

Staffing and talent search specialist Express Employment Professionals reports that hiring trends during Q2 of 2012 will be greatest in commercial and light industrial jobs and administrative and clerical staff, with 32 percent and 28 percent of survey participants expecting to hire in these fields, respectively. Administrative jobs will experience the greatest growth over Q1 2012 rising by 8 percent, while commercial hires will rise 3 percent during the quarter. A further 43 percent of employers plan to hire for positions in many other sectors including healthcare, customer and food services, skilled labor, and maintenance.
"As the economy continues to recover from the recession, we are seeing more employers increase their production and add to their staff," said Robert A. Funk, CEO and Chairman of Express. "In addition to the number of commercial and administrative positions increasing, we are also seeing an increase in professional positions."
Indeed, the survey found that 11 percent of businesses anticipate hiring more engineers, 10 percent plan to hire additional accountants and other fiduciary professionals, and 8 percent are looking to expand their marketing and information technology staffs. Despite the planned new hires, 50 percent of participants said that they are finding it difficult to fill positions, even in a down economy. And nearly all respondents (99 percents) agreed that the attitude of a job applicant was the most important characteristic considered when deciding who to hire.
"Starting your career in today's hiring environment can be challenging, including making a positive, memorable impression with people who could be your employer," Funk said. "It's important to show your positive attitude and offer solutions on how you can help the company."

It's not a bull market, according to Michael Yoshikami of YCMNET Advisors.
"The market's had a great rally, but I think it's a bit ahead of itself, in terms of what's happening with the economy," he told CNBC. "Let's all agree that the economy is getting worse slower, but it's still getting worse."
He echoed remarks made on CNBC by former General Electric CEO Jack Welch, that the best current interpretation of the market is a flat line.
That said, Yoshikami is enthusiastic about some selected technology names.
"Nvidia has a huge amount of cash, and is benefiting from tailwind with their relationship with Apple Computer," he said.
And that's not all.
"Nokia is kind of an interesting story," he said. "You're going to go away from safety names into consumer discretionary names, but maybe not the large-ticket consumer discretionary -- I don't see car sales roaring back -- but things like a new cell phone, for example, might be in the cards for consumers."
He said he thinks continuing credit concerns make the atmosphere more encouraging for large-cap companies than for small caps.
"Banks are tightening standards, and we still have lots of write-offs," he said. "We probably have $2 trillion worth of write-offs that we have to deal with, not counting what's happening in commercial real estate, as well as credit cards, out there."
Disclosure information for Michael Yoshikami was not immediately available.

Yuri V. Andropov was one of the most refined Soviet officials. A
topranking NKVD officer as well as diplomat, he spoke many languages,
including excellent Hungarian. As he had been a port official
receiving wartime Allied convoys he also spoke good English...
He had been at the Budapest embassy since 1953, was a close friend of
[today celebrated!-JT] prime minister Hegedus, and by 1956 had the
kind of position that gauleiters were assigned in occupied
countries.... Andropov was an apparatchik, a funky to whom the power
structure, rather than the Party's ideology, was all-important... [It
must be noted here that Mikhail Gorbacev was his protege, (!) his
pupil. Perhaps Andropov was the father of perestroyka?-JT]
In Budapest, in October 1956, the young soldiers of General Batov,
General Larshenko and Yuri Andropov were dying. Many of them did not
know where they were or why they were there. Some believed themselves
in Berlin, fighting *Hitler's hordes again,* or on the banks of the
Suez Canal fighting the British. (...)[excerpts from UPRISING, by

I keep thinking what the equivalent Hungarian word would be for the
American slang "cool", but can't think of any. I'm sure the literal
translation (hu"vo~s) isn't it. Anybody?
Song Of The Cedars
Your church bells ring shrill in the mountain air,
Like a woman's cries lamenting the loss of her children,
Your son's scattered as widely as your holy wood,
Toward every point on a sailor's compass, your daughters
Carried off to the hinterlands like Europa speeding off
On the back of Zeus, yet the miles and years never dim
Their memory of you, a mountain village hidden in the
Shadows of the cedar groves, telling their children of
The land they left and the magic trees that sucked up
The spirit and strength of the mountains they grew on.
Cedars for boats manned by dark skinned sailors,
Ladened with colored glass and polished brass,
Billowing crimson sails cutting across a purple sea
In the twilight dawn of history, speeding west bound for
Cyprus, Crete and Carthage, Sicily, Sardinia, Corsica,
Out beyond the Pillars of Heracles, bouncing on the
Tall waves of the Dark Sea in tiny boats of mountain wood.
Cedars marked for Egypt and the tombs of pharaohs, the
Babylonian palaces of Nebuchadnezzar and Tiglath-pileser,
For Judea and Solomon's temple, the palaces of Byzantium,
Mosques of Islam, crusader's castles, basilicas in Rome,
Cathedrals in France, cedars tumbling down the slopes,
The mountains echoing their fall, their thundering crash.
Your church bells ring shrill in the morning air,
As your sheep graze in the valley, and men ride donkeys
Down winding trails, but your cedars are gone,
Felled and spent years ago and have followed the
Old Phoenician glory into the twilight dusk of antiquity,
Olive groves now grace the slopes, and the only
Thunder that echoes in the mountains are the sonic booms
Of Syrian MIGs jetting over the snowcapped peaks.

Take five minutes to read this and it WILL change your life.
The Internet has grown tremendously. It doubles in size every 4 months.
think about it. You see those 'Make.Money.Fast' posts more and more.
That's ... because it WORKS ! So I thought, all those new users might
make it work. And I decided to try it out, a few months ago. Besides,
whats $5.00, I spend more than that in the morning on my way to work on
coffee and cigs for the day. So I sent in my money and posted.
Everyone was calling it a scam, but there are SO many new users from
AOL, Netcom, etc. they will join in and make it work for you.
Well, two weeks later, I began recieving bucks in the mail! I couldn't
believe it! Not just a little, I mean big bucks! At first only a few
hundred dollars, then a week later, a couple of thousand, then BOOM. By
the end of the fourth week, I had recieved nearly $47,000.00. It came
from all over the world. And every bit of it perfectly legal and on the
up and up. I've been able to pay off all my bills and still had enough
left over for a nice vacation for me and my family.
Not only does it work for me, it works for other folks as well. Markus
Valppu says he made $57,883 in four weeks. Dave Manning claims he made
$53,664 in the same amount of time. Dan Shepstone says it was only
$17,000 for him. Do I know these folks? No, but when I read how they
say they did it, it made sense to me. Enough sense that I'm taking a
similar chance with $5 of my own bucks. Not a big chance, I admit--but
one with incredible potential, because $5 is all anyone ever invests in
this system. Period. That's all Markus, Dave, or Dan invested, yet
their $5 netted them tens of thousands of dollars each, in a safe,
legal, completely legitimate way. Here's how it works in 3 easy steps:
Invest your $5 by writing your name and address on five seperate pieces
of paper along with the words: "PLEASE ADD ME TO YOUR MAILING LIST." (In
this way, you're not just sending a dollar to someone; you're paying for
a legitimate service.) Fold a $1 bill, money order, or bank note inside
each paper, and mail them by standard U. S. Mail to the following five
1- Fern Suarez
Mallorca 112
Hato Rey, P.R., USA, 00917
2- Philippe
2104 De Mexico
Chomedey, Laval
Quebec, Canada
3- Natalie Jansen
Lancveldlaan 18
5671 CN Nuenen
4- Chad Collier
2785 Cold Springs Rd. #49
Placerville, CA 95667
5- Steve Boltinghouse
1009 Bird St.
Hannibal, MO 63401
Now remove the top name from the list, and move the
other names up.This way, #5 becomes #4 and so on.
Put your name in as the fifth one on the list.
Post the article to at least 250 newsgroups. There are at
least 19000 newsgroups at any given moment in time.
Try posting to as many newsgroups as you can. Remember
the more groups you post to, the more people will see your
article and send you cash!
You are now in business for yourself, and should start seeing
returns within 7 to 14 days! Remember, the Internet is new
and huge. There is no way you can lose.
Now here is how and why this system works:
Out of every block of 250 posts I made, I got back 5 responses.
Yes, thats right,only 5. You make $5.00 in cash, not checks or
money orders, but real cash with your name at #5.
Each additional person who sent you $1.00 now also makes 250
additional postings with your name at #4, 1000 postings. On
average then, 50 people will send you $1.00 with your name at
#4,....$50.00 in your pocket!
Now these 50 new people will make 250 postings each with your
name at #3 or 10,000 postings. Average return, 500 people= $500.
They make 250 postings each with your name at #2= 100,000
postings=5000 returns at $1.00 each=$5,000.00 in cash!
Finally, 5,000 people make 250 postings each with your name at
#1 and you get a return of $60,000 before your name drops off
the list.And that's only if everyone down the line makes only 250
postings each! Your total income for this one cycle is $55,000.
From time to time when you see your name is no longer on the list,
you take the latest posting you can find and start all over again.
The end result depends on you. You must follow through
and repost this article everywhere you can think of.
The more postings you make, the more cash ends up in
your mailbox. It's too easy and too cheap to pass up!!!
So thats it. Pretty simple sounding stuff, huh? But believe me, it
works. There are millions of people surfing the net every day, all
day, all over the world. And 100,000 new people get on the net
every day. You know that, you've seen the stories in the paper.
So, my friend, read and follow the simple instructions and play
fair. Thats the key, and thats all there is to it. Print this out
right now so you can refer back to this article easily. Try to keep
an eye on all the postings you made to make sure everyone is
playing fairly. You know where your name should be.
If you're really not sure or still think this can't be
for real, then don't do it. But please print this article and pass it
along to someone you know who really needs the bucks, and see
what happens.
*** By the way, if you try to deceive people by posting the messages
with your name in the list and not sending the bucks to the people
already included, you will not get much. I know someone who did this
and only got about $150 (and that's after two months). Then he sent
the 5 bills, people added him to their lists, and in 4-5 weeks he had
over $10,000!
TRY IT AND YOU'LL BE HAPPY!!! :o) !!!!!!!!!!
I cannot wait to send you my $1,000, but I cannot read yr message. It
is too long. How do i do this. I want to be rich too, pls help... and
send me a short instruction where to send the money..

Read Ivan N. Ostroumoff's THe History of the COuncil of Florence. Follow
threads bavckwards to the Byzantine correspondence with early Reformation
figures. Contrast this correspondence up to the period of the COuncil of
Ferrara Florence with the smae arguments of East-West differences as
covered at the Counci of Florence. What you are suggesting as an area of
thesis inquiry has some value but not before the earlier period is done
Note the extant collection of Mark Eugenicus's disputations with Ottoman
and other late beylik Turks, Orthodoxy vs. Islam. Another area that must
be thoroughly covered before you attempt the later period.
Good to see someone working on this.

Sir: the Prime Minister of Japanese government
Reported all over the world that some russian troops laid siege
to villages in Chechnya and killed group including unarmed people
Those acts, apparently, come under genocide, as defined in
Article 3 of Convention on the prevention and punishment of the
crime of Genocide(Genocide convention). But nowadays courts
under Article 6 of this convention have never taken action in
the problem.
Meanwhile Japan is not member of this convention ,therefore
dose not have the right to claim organs of United Nations to take
any measure(Article 8).
Considering Japan was an ally with Nazism, Japan should
ratify Genocide convention, and claim United Nations to
investigate and prevent genocide by russian troops in Chechnya.
Yours respectfully

Why I Care – by Anette Asher, Founder of Care To Caregiver
When I was CEO of the George G. Glenner Alzheimer's Family Centers (adult day healthcare), I saw firsthand how important it is to care for the caregiver as well as the patient. In my years there, it became painfully clear that there is no focused service-and-support system to help unpaid family caregivers maintain their sanity and health as they care for a loved one.
No other disease devastates the entire family quite like dementia/Alzheimer's, which leads to three intense incidents of grief with years of lingering and compounding affects.
- The first is the diagnosis – when caregivers learn there is nothing to prevent their loved one from losing their mind and memory.
- The second is when the realization that mom or dad doesn't know who you are anymore immerses you in helpless anguish.
- The third is when you lose your loved one – a third and final time to death.
These incidents of crushing grief, compounded by years of intense, complex and overwhelming caregiving causes extreme levels of stress, guilt, anger, fear, sadness, powerlessness and illness.
Studies show that caregivers often become ill and depressed, and can predecease their loved one with dementia. Caring for someone with dementia can shorten a life span by up to seven years and permanently damage the Telomere protein, compromising the immune system for life. And the compounding effect doesn't stop there. I saw daughters in tears as they faced husbands who demanded their mother-in-law be "put away" or else. Seeing so much raw and inconsolable anguish, exhaustion, fear and guilt made me wonder what more could be done to help our caregivers. And I worried for my own family and friends. I felt a strong need to do more.
Most baby boomers do not have the ability or resources to become caregivers. And whether you have children or not, how many have someone who can take care of us when we grow incapable of caring for ourselves? As we age, the need for caregivers grow. Also, by the age of 80, as a natural part of aging, most of us will have some form of dementia.
I was literally scared into action! I knew we had to devise innovative ways to directly support caregivers now.
Support groups are not enough—many caregivers simply don't have the time or energy. Many work outside the home, have children, live in remote areas, or have other obstacles.
With a strong background in health IT, I knew that technology could be used to empower unpaid family caregivers and lessen their burden. I began researching everything I could find about informal caregivers, their struggles and what is out there to help them.
For a year, I worked nonstop to refine and develop the Care To Caregiver program to help realize this mission:
"When we take care of our unpaid family caregivers, they in turn take better care of their loved ones. A much better quality of life endures—starting with the health and wellbeing of family caregivers."
In June 2015, being happy with the trajectory I had placed Glenner, it was the right time to spark Care To Caregiver. We are a feisty startup with a critical mission, huge potential and a huge unmet need. With your support, we can move to the next level. Please click our donate button now and tell your friends.
With love and gratitude…thank you, Anette

Get Happy
~ Release group by Clare Teal
http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/reviews/x4mq [info]
CritiqueBrainz Reviews
There's 1 review on CritiqueBrainz. You can also write your own.
Most Recent
Since her beginnings in the industry as a jingle-singing sound-alike, Clare Teal has done very well for herself, winning a fistful of awards and now co-producing her 8th album. With Get Happy she returns to a recipe that's worked well in the past: mix equal measures of standards, own material and '60/'70s pop songs, season with gentle humour and...start swinging!
Some singers thrive on melancholy, but the huge warmth of Clare's voice was born to convey happiness. Sultry and tinged with suggestive slurs, Begin The Beguine evokes a pre-war cabaret, and her Puppini Sisters-style close harmonies are convincingly retro on the title track and on Cheek To Cheek, with its swing-to-latin, big band feel.
Clare's songwriting is warm and retro, too. Her new fables feel as old as Aesop, and she casts herself as an agony aunt in them (happy endings are mandatory, of course). All For Love is an intimate, burlesque piece; Get On It Sam is high-octane life-coaching in a waltz; and High Love comes with a nostalgic, fairground feel.
You can't fault Clare's delivery or her almost Karen Carpenter-like deeper tones, but something is missing here. If your idea of happiness is listening to a bit of maudlin introspection with a peppering of angst or anger, you'll be disappointed. Even on songs like the former hit for Roy Orbison and Jim Capaldi, Love Hurts or Breaking Up Is Hard To Do, Clare is angst-less and anger-free and she sounds triumphant, not broken-hearted.
There's also a sameness to some of the tracks. Most are characterised by upfront, intimate vocals and improvisation is limited to the occasional interlude. Having said that, there's a sterling set of musicians on Get Happy. Dennis Rollins comes up with some great raunchy trombone fills in All For Love and Get It On Sam, and James Watson gets a few decent solos on piano. Moondance is fairly standard singers' fare, but it really works with Clare's ballsy vocals and scatting, and James, Simon Little (bass) and Chris Dagley (drums) grasp the opportunity for an instrumental solo and really stretch out.
Need a pep-talk? Need to detox your life? Get Happy will sort you out, and you'll hear some fine future standards in the process.

Circulatory System of a Horse
Kanika Khara
Aug 28, 2020
The horse is a hoofed mammal which evolved nearly 45 to 55 million years ago. Here is a description of the circulatory system of a horse.
Around 4000 BC, humans began to domesticate horses, and since then, besides being a great companion, they are being used for different purposes throughout the world.
The horse belongs to the family
and subspecies
Equus ferus caballus
. It has evolved from a small multi-toed creature to a large single-toed animal today. It has a well-developed sense of balance, and a strong fight or flight instinct.
A horse has a lifespan of 25 to 30 years, and reaches adult development by the age of five. It is able to sleep, both standing up and lying down. Horses are a grazing animal, and mainly feed on good-quality forage from hay and pasture.
There are nearly 300 horse breeds, which can be differentiated into three types - cold bloods or draft horses like Belgian, Clydesdale for slow and heavy work; hot bloods or oriental horses like Akhal-Teke, Barb, Arabian Horse for speed and endurance; and warm breeds like Trakehner, Hanoverian for specific riding purposes.
The interaction between humans and horses is not restricted to sport competitions and recreational pursuits only. Horses are also beneficial in a number of other important activities, including police work, entertainment, agriculture, assisted learning, and therapy.
Horses have been used for their by-products like milk, meat, hair, bones, hide, as well as the pharmaceutical extracts from the urine of pregnant mares (female horses).
A horse's heart is made up of muscle tissues, and is more rounded in shape as compared to the human heart. It pumps blood throughout the body, and is divided into four chambers: the left and right atria, and the left and right ventricles.
The average weight of an adult horse's heart is 3.6 kg or 8.5 lb, though sometimes, it can be more than twice this size. The heart grows till the horse reaches an age of four years, but can also increase slightly with proper conditioning later in its life.
Blood and Blood Vessels
The blood is formed of erythrocytes (red blood cells), leukocytes (white blood cells), and plasma. Red blood cells are produced in bone marrow, and are responsible for carrying oxygen to tissues and removing carbon dioxide through hemoglobin.
White blood cells are present in the body's immune system, and protect against pathogens and foreign infectious materials. The plasma contributes to the blood volume, and suspends the blood cells which contain clotting factors.
The heart and blood vessels of an adult horse weight approximately 450 kg or 990 lb, and contains nearly 34 liters or 9.6 U.S. gal. of blood. The blood performs a number of important functions in a horse's body.
1) Transporting oxygen from the lungs to vital organs.
2) Distributing hormones and antibodies.
3) Transporting lymph fluid from the tissues to the blood.
4) Removal of waste products, such as lactic acid, urea, and dead blood cells.
5) Regulating the horse's body temperature.
6) Transporting white blood cells to a site of infection.
The blood vessels which include the veins, arteries and capillaries, are used to transfer blood to and from the heart to the rest of the body of the horse. Arteries transport oxygenated blood from the heart to the body.
Veins transport the deoxygenated blood from the body back to the heart. The capillaries join together the veins and the arteries and allow the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide molecules through their thin walls.
The spleen eliminates damaged red blood cells from circulation and holds extra blood cells. It releases these blood cells during exertion to increase blood volume and the thus the quantity of oxygen carried to the tissues.
Each foot or hoof of a horse contains a structural component known as the frog. This frog covers the deeper structure of the foot called the digital cushion which is a vessel-filled tissue.
When a horse puts weight on its leg, the ground pushes upward on the frog and compresses it along with the underlying digital cushion. This squeezes the blood out of the digital cushion and pumps it back up the leg which helps the heart to function against the gravity.
The circulatory system of a horse comprises the heart, blood, and blood vessels. Any disruption in its normal functioning can lead to minor or even major issues. Some of the common disorders that affect the circulatory system include bruises, excessive bleeding, anemia, arrhythmia, etc. It is important that a vet is consulted for proper treatment.

Trigger points, often a component of myofascial pain syndrome, are irritable, hard "knots" within a muscle that may cause pain over a large area. A potential treatment option is dry needling, which consists of a very thin needle that your therapist pushes through the skin to stimulate the trigger points, muscles, or connecting tissues.LEARN MORE

If you are a horologe connoisseur and cherish exclusivity, A. Lange & Söhne has launched a new timepiece that you would treasure for life.
The German luxury watchmaker has launched Saxonia Automatic Outsize Date with the legendary Sax-0-Mat calibre in an exclusive pink-gold edition. Limited to 25 watches, the special model is available only at the 11 international A. Lange & Söhne Boutiques.
Endowed with persuasive intrinsic values, the Saxonia Automatic Outsize Date pays tribute to the traditions of Saxon watchmaking artistry. The double-aperture outsize date, a widely recognized brand metaphor, graces its eye-catching dial. Down to the very last detail, this timepiece transports the values of Saxony's watchmaking heritage to the present day. Its design reflects the elegant sleekness that characterizes all members of the Saxonia watch family.
An extraordinary movement is accommodated in the pink-gold case of the Saxonia Automatic Outsize Date: Lange's famous Sax-0-Mat manufacture calibre. The name is composed of "Saxonia" (the Latin word for Saxony), "zero", and "automatic". The zero stands for the ingenious Zero-Reset mechanism. It causes the seconds hand to instantaneously jump to the 12 o'clock position when the crown is pulled. This very useful function makes synchronizing the watch extremely easy.
The automatic winder is another noteworthy feature: The delicately embossed rotor in 21-carat gold with a platinum centrifugal mass efficiently winds the watch in both directions thanks to a reduction gear. Four ball bearings assure that a sufficient amount of mainspring power is quickly built up, even on a quiet day at the office or on a leisurely holiday. All of the details of the meticulously finished movement can be admired through the sapphire-crystal caseback. The three-quarter rotor reveals the escapement with the classic screw balance, the hand-engraved balance cock, and the whiplash precision index adjuster.
The special edition of the Saxonia Automatic Outsize Date is limited to 25 watches. They are reserved for customers of the eleven A. Lange & Söhne Boutiques around the world.

Learn How To Manage Fallen ArchesOverview
Flat feet are a usually painless condition where the arches on the inside of your feet are completely collapsed arches so that the entire sole of your feet touch the floor when standing. Flat feet can develop after an injury to the foot, such as a ligament, tendon or muscle tear, or as a result of arthritis or they may develop because the condition runs in the family. People with flat feet often complain of their feet rolling inwards when walking or a feeling of their foot collapsing.
A Rigid Flat Foot may be congenital, where the arch never develops when growing. A Rigid Flat Foot can also be acquired due to disease processes involving inflammatory arthritis, neurological conditions such as Charcot neuro-arthropathy or trauma. A Flexible Flat Foot (fallen arches) may also be congenital where excessive pronation occurs for shock absorption. In some cases this condition may be the result of neurological disease or injury involving muscle weakness, hyper-mobile joints or ligament laxity. These conditions may allow for excessive pronation causing the arch to fall when weight bearing or during activity. Both of these foot types can result in posture mal-alignment involving the lower back, hips, knees and feet which may result in pain in those areas.
Most patients who suffer from flat feet or fallen arches often do not complain of any symptoms whatsoever. However, on some occasions, patients may find that their feet are fatigued fairly easily and following activity on long periods of standing may have a painful foot or arch. On occasions, swelling may be seen on the inner aspect of the foot and performing certain movements may be painful and difficult. Some patients who have flat feet may find that their feet tend to roll in (over-pronate) a lot more when they walk and run. As a result, they may experience damage to the ankle joint and the Achilles tendon, as well as excessive shoe wear.
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical and foot exam will be done. Flat feet can be diagnosed by appearance. To determine if the foot is rigid, you may be asked to do some simple tasks.
What causes flat foot deformity?
Non Surgical Treatment
Have you found yourself in the store looking at all the different foot care products? There is everything from massaging gel insoles to foam arch supports and heel cushions. If your arches fall the same amount on each side, you might be able to use an insert off the shelf. If they fall differently, then a generic insert will not fix the imbalance. If you have a high arch, a generic insert will likely not be high enough for full correction. Good custom orthotics provide a number of advantages over the generic inserts that you find in the store. Custom orthotics can take into account your body weight and degree of flexibility in your foot, not someone else?s. They also account for the anatomical differences in your feet. The corrected height of one arch is often higher in one foot than the other. A G-Laser foot analysis can provide you with this information.
Surgical Treatment
Since there are many different causes of flatfoot, the types of flatfoot reconstruction surgery are best categorized by the conditions. Posterior tibial tendon dysfunction. In this condition, the tendon connecting the calf muscle to the inner foot is torn or inflamed. Once the tendon is damaged it no longer can serve its main function of supporting the arch of the foot. Flatfoot is the main result of this type of condition and can be treated by the following flatfoot reconstruction surgeries. Lengthening of the Achilles tendon. Otherwise known as gastrocnemius recession, this procedure is used to lengthen the calf muscles in the leg. This surgery treats flatfoot and prevents it from returning in the future. This procedure is often combined with other surgeries to correct posterior tibial tendon dysfunction. Cleaning the tendon. Also known as tenosynovectomy, this procedure is used in the earlier and less severe stages of posterior tibial tendon dysfunction. It is performed before the arch collapses and while the tendon is only mildly affected. The inflamed tissue is cleaned away and removed from the remaining healthy tendon. Tendon transfer. This procedure is done to correct flatfoot and reform the lost arch in the foot. During the procedure, the diseased tendon is removed and replaced by tendon from another area of the foot. If the tendon is only partially damaged, the inflamed part is cleaned and removed then attached to a new tendon. Cutting and shifting bones. Also called an osteotomy, this procedure consists of cutting and reconstructing bones in the foot to reconstruct the arch. The heel bone and the midfoot are most likely reshaped to achieve this desired result. A bone graft may be used to fuse the bones or to lengthen the outside of the foot. Temporary instrumentation such as screws and plates can also be used to hold the bones together while they heal.

New York Public Library (NYPL) will use its grant to collect and analyze data on user experiences; identify opportunities for improvements; and design, test, and employ new tools, which will be made available to other libraries. The project addresses the need for evolving access as technology changes. The rapid transformation brought on by the electronic information age has a created a critical moment in which libraries across the country must find ways to ensure democratic access to books, ideas, and information, regardless of format. The project will be supported by a large group of partner libraries and technical advisors and is aligned with the Readers First movement, which is dedicated to ensuring that library patrons have access to both virtual and physical collections. NYPL will test innovative library policies and practices while adopting new technologies in order to create improved patron experiences, with the goals of building new audiences and increasing the use of electronic collections.

Not surprisingly we encountered a goodly amount of traffic on our first day back, a Friday. Especially when we dropped off our little trailer up in La Crescenta and headed toward the beach to see the beautiful Pacific.
Even after growing up in LA, I still can't get over how much traffic there is. And it goes on and on for miles, in just about every corner of the city, with very little pattern or rhyme or reason.
But when we finally did make it to our old stomping grounds, and took a walk out onto the pier and then dined at the Whaler, the traffic became a bump in the road.
The Fit Expo is a massive gathering of all types of people in the physical fitness arena.
There were body builders, strong men, cross-fitters, juijitsu players, yogis, Zumbanistas, and so much more.
Everyone was out selling their wares and strutting their stuff.
I definitely suffered a bit of culture shock, being away from LA and the spray tans and silicone and.....
It was an interesting day, because there was really nothing there that was unknown or innovative to me. I've been making a study of this world for a couple of years now and been involved with it in one way or another since I was in my teens.
It's been a long time coming, but I will soon jump into the mix.
High on the list of priorites on this visit to Los Angeles, was connecting with friends.
I've been training in Brazilian Juijistu for a while now. So when I met Efrain a few years back as one of the only other home-school dads that showed up regularly at park days, you can imagine my surprise when I found out that he to trained in BJJ and with some of the people I started with way back when. Since Skye has started training recently, it was a no-brainer to make a point to get to the Brentwood Club where Efrain trains along with Cindy Omatsu. Cindy was a blue belt when I started and is known for being the first Asian-American and first woman outside of Brazil to be promoted to black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. What better person for Skye to get a lesson wit?
It was great to see Ef and Cindy as well a couple of other people I'd rolled with in the past. A great vibe and nice place to train.
I met Dave while I was out at Burning Man and he led me through and amazing yoga session out there on the Playa.
We exchanged numbers and became Facebook friends. But as we are rarely in LA these days, I didn't know when I would see him again.
Turns out he teaches a class not to far from where we're staying . So I hauled Skye along to take his Introductory Ashtanga Yoga at the Reincarnation Station!
And what an introduction it was. I was dying, Skye was flying. Doing so much better than I was. It was intense and so much what we needed.
Just around the corner from where we're staying is the Silver Lake reservoir for which, I assume, Silver Lake is named.
There's a fairly decent running track around it, that Skye and I have done a couple of times.
There's also an awesome set of stairs on the way that I wish I had a little more time to tinker with, but as you can see, we are jamming a lot into our LA visit.
Not really at all. Cindy and I went to the SDSA (Set Decorator's Society of America) 20th anniversary party. I walked and took the bus which was pretty cool.
It was an amazing time and wonderful party. Wow. We've been doing this for a while.
So many friends and stories.
And I won a $100 gift card in the raffle. I won a prize at the last of their events I was able to attend. Unfortunately that time it was a gift bag of make-up which I gladly shared making sure I got a little mascara applied before giving all of my goodies away.
It was a full week to say the least and I just barely touched the surface.
Go Big or Go Home.
What does that mean when you don't have a permanent residence, AKA home.
I guess just
Go Big.

Orbit Polities:
- Venusian Republic (region is based on mining claims of particular floating cities; humans do not live on the ground)
- Ishtar Terra (1,100,000 pop)
- Aphrodite Terra (850,000 pop)
- Lada Terra (450,000 pop)
Primary Industries:
- Massive amounts of carbon dioxide in atmosphere:
- Carbonates
- Hydrocarbons
- Manufacturing that utilizes Carbonates and Hydrocarbons
- Some limited mining on surface:
- Fissiles
- Silicates (rare)
- Metals (rare)
- Terraforming enterprises are discussed, but there is actually a lot of opposition to this with some political factions arguing that the cloud cities are indefinitely sustainable, and any transition from cloud cities to the ground would be problematic.
- Terraforming technologies involve graphene sheets and carbon nanotubes built from atmospheric elements.
- Gengineered bacteria to fix carbon into organic forms are used by the floating cities, and could also be a part of terraforming efforts.
- In fact, "too many" cloud cities could actually be used as the first stage of terraforming, so immigration and population control are fiercely contested political subjects as well.
- The Venusian Republic is independent, but is in associative agreements with Union on Earth, and is a reliable ally of such.
- The Eastern Federation's control of Mercury makes Venus the next logical acquisition for an expansionist Eastern Federation. Open war is unlikely at this point due to the Venusian Republic's tight political relationship with Union, but this does not prevent the Eastern Federation attempting to "Finlandize" Venus to bring it under its sphere of influence. This includes commercial pressure tactics, hiring of independent commercial raiders and saboteurs, and so on.
- Although Mercury and Venus are politically hostile to each other, in terms of raw materials they are extremely compatible. This results in an absolutely massive amount of off-the-books smuggling conducted by regional governments trying to make up shortfalls with inadequate resources or trade; this is an open secret, but never openly acknowledged for political reasons.
- Due to the catastrophe known as "The Fall of the Cities" (see Venusian Republic for the full history) there lingers a deep-seated hatred of the Eastern Federation among the traditional elements on Venus.
Venusian Republic
Special Notes:
- Cloud cities ("aerostat habitats") - there is very limited robotic mining on the surface, but all human population is in floating cities. A simple balloon of human breathable air sustains not only itself, but can comfortably support other structures.
- 50 km above surface.
- Pressure of 1 bar
- Temperatures in 0-50 C range.
- A breathable-air balloon has no appreciable difference in inside/outside pressure, meaning rips would not result in explosive decompression.
- No pressurized suits are necessary, just air and protection from acid rain.
- Wind speed there is about 212 mph that circle planet every four Earth days, so would actually be unfettered and just move with winds.
- Cloud cities named after terrestrial mining claims
- Atmospheric winds are very, very fast - up to 300 km/h.
- Clouds stifling with sulfuric acid.
- Extensive lightning in atmosphere has been harnessed as a power source.
- The surface atmosphere so dense it would be like walking through soup - x90 greater than on Earth.
- The surface temperature averages 842 F, higher than the melting point of lead.
- No magnetic field, so explicit radiation and cosmic ray safeguards are utilized.
- The Venusian year is about as long as its day.

Prince George's County Executive Rushern Baker has endorsed U.S. Rep. Chris Van Hollen in his run for U.S. Senate.
Baker announced his endorsement Wednesday at a news conference at the Colmar Manor Community Center in Prince George's County.
Baker's choice is a little controversial as his own constituent, U.S. Rep. Donna Edwards, is also running for Maryland Senator Barbara Mikulski's soon-to-be open seat.
Van Hollen and Baker served in the Maryland House of Delegates at the same time in the 1990s, and Baker says that time together weighed heavily in his decision.
Van Hollen currently represents Maryland's 8th District, which includes portions of Montgomery County and stretches north to portions of Frederick and Carroll counties. Edwards currently represents Maryland's 4th District, which covers parts of Prince George's and Anne Arundel counties.
Both Van Hollen and Edwards announced their plans to run days after Mikulski said she would retire.
If Edwards won the Senate seat, she would become the first black senator from Maryland in U.S. history. But Baker said race didn't play a role in his decision, adding that his decision was rooted in the candidate that could provide leadership and get things done for county residents.

Rising rents putting the hurt on Twin Cities working folks
Salena Acox rolled into the Twin Cities from Austin, Texas four summers ago.
"I had no family here, no friends, I didn't know anyone," she says. "I moved here because of the appeal. I thought Minnesota would be a place where I would enjoy living."
Acox first sub-letted, then rented a room before making a one-bedroom, ground floor apartment home in the Powderhorn section of Minneapolis.
The place came cheap at $595 a month, electricity excluded.
"I was doing temp work at the time and didn't have much money," says Acox. "But I found this place I could afford. It wasn't very big, maybe 500 feet, and there was a boiler room that took up like half of the space. But it was cheap and that's why I stayed."
Until earlier this year.
Acox landed a job as program manager at The Jay & Rose Phillips Family Foundation of Minnesota, a nonprofit focusing on such things as education and housing. The position pays $52,000 annually, and since she'd gotten a dog, she decided to look for a new place.
"I started looking around April," says the 34-year-old California native. "I had it in my mind that I wasn't going to spend more than $900. I have [$420 in monthly student loans] that eat up a chunk of my income. It didn't take very long for that [rent] number to keep going up."
Duplexes and one-bedroom houses in her preferred south Minneapolis neighborhoods — anything that offered a yard for her pup — were running no less than $1,000 per month.
"There was one landlord who had a house advertised at first for $1,025 and when I spoke to him — I think it was later on that day — the rent had gone up to $1,075," Acox says. "When I asked him about it, he said, 'Yeah, I increased it because there were so many people interested.'"
Rent costs in the Twin Cities are squeezing working folks at historic proportions.
According to a recent analysis by the real estate web site Zillow, almost 26 percent of the average renter's income is eaten up by the landlord. In the past rent has consumed about 20 cents out of every dollar earned.
According to the "Twin Cities Rent Report," published in April by Zumper, a website focusing on renting across America, the median one-bedroom in Minneapolis goes for $1,280 a month, $950 in St. Paul, $1,120 in Minnetonka, and $1,080 in Woodbury.
It was about a year ago when City Pages ran a story noting that the average rent across all unit types topped $1,000 for the first time on record.
A perfect storm of demographic and economic factors in recent years has resulted in the pinch, according to Leigh Rosenberg, director of research and communications at the Minnesota Housing Partnership.
The renter pool expanded when families lost homes to foreclosures. Seniors entered the market as they downsized from suburban homes. Post-recession job creation has often been at fast food wages, while most new constructions has targeted the up-and-coming and well-to-do.
"What our data shows us is that for about half of the renters across the state, 30 percent of income goes to rent," says Rosenberg. "While for another quarter of them, it's closer to 50 percent of income."
Salena Acox's lease for a one-bedroom place in Longfellow began June 1. The small house cost $1,075 per month.
But within weeks, Acox was back on the market. The house had serious mold problems.
"When I started looking again," says Acox, "I was like, 'Oh my goodness! What happened in the past two or three months?' The places that were going for, say, $1,050 to $1,100, were now being advertised at $1,200 and $1,300 a month."

It has been a recent practice in the Malankara Syriac Orthodox Churches to observe eight-days-lent interceding prayers of St. Mary, starting from day one to eight day of September. It is quite appropriate to think and meditate St. Mary especially during the time of "ETTUNOYAMBU". Whenever we think and talk about St. Mary certain cliches and typical images come into our mind.
Some of the common thoughts and topics of discussion during this festival and lent season are; St. Mary is the mother of God; not the mother of Christ; she's a saint, she is blessed, she is full of grace, and she is highly favored; she's virgin, despite she gave birth to a son; she is very humble; and she is from a very poor family; she accepted God's will without questioning; she said she is God's servant, and she's a great believer; she suffered with her son; she is glorified by God and praised by the church; and moreover, she's an intercessor.
Well I don't have to debate on any of these aspects because we have been discussing this for many years. But I'm trying to explore the relevance of a frequently ignored prophetic dimension of St. Mary. This dimension is well portrayed in St. Luke 1: 46-56 which is the longest text attributed to a woman in the New Testament and the song of praise that the Orthodox folks recite every Sunday during the Resurrection / Kymtha Morning Prayer. This is popularly known as the "Mavoorbo", "Mariyaminte Pattu", the song of St. Mary, or "Magnificat".
And Mary said:
"My soul magnifies the Lord, And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior.
For He has regarded the lowly state of His maidservant;
For behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed.
For He who is mighty has done great things for me, And holy is His name.
And His mercy is on those who fear Him From generation to generation.
He has shown strength with His arm;
He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
He has put down the mighty from their thrones, And exalted the lowly.
He has filled the hungry with good things, And the rich He has sent away empty.
He has helped His servant Israel, In remembrance of His mercy, As He spoke to our fathers, To Abraham and to his seed forever."
We all know this beautiful song of praise; but have we ever meditated on the content of Magnificat? A mindful reading of this prayer will help us to see two parts in Magnificat. The first part is a hymn of thanksgiving. The second part clearly shows Mary as a prophet of God's justice. It reflects a bold revolutionary proclamation of God's justice for the poor and meek. It is a revolutionary song of salvation that proclaims the coming of the kingdom of God. Finally, it proclaims the social change that liberates the people.
In short, by singing this song St. Mary is demanding something from us. But it is our choice whether we want to sing this song with St. Mary in today's world. While observing this lent, St. Mary is asking us whether it is possible for us to mediate Magnifcat with her today?
- Can we try to read and meditate St. Luke 1: 46-56 every day morning and evening for the next six or seven days.
- Can we think about (write down) at least five blessings we experienced in our life? And today is a good day to express our gratitude to God and to others.
- Can we try to identify a word or idea from this song, especially the one that capture our attention? If you can, then stay with that idea; recall it in your mind during the day, even when you are at work or at school. God may be talking to you in that idea.
- Can we enter into the attitude of St. Mary; Take a few moments to let someone know you love him or her or you care for somebody.
- Can we enter into Mary's disposition, as she speaks on behalf of all of the people who are oppressed, poor, meek and less fortune?
- Can we stand with Mary in solidarity with those who lack power; and speak up for the weaker members of the society?
- Finally, can we intercede with St. Mary to strengthen us in our Christian life to be selfless; and to protect us from the dangers and threats around us?
Again the choice is ours. Are we ready to take up the challenge of a prophetic Christian life? Or like most of the 'Christians' we also do want to simplify St. Mary as a mediator/ intercessor of wealth, prosperity and blessings!
May God bless!

This page outlines the New Zealand Waste Strategy and its goals, and how it impacts local government, businesses and communities.
What is the New Zealand Waste Strategy?
The New Zealand Waste Strategy: Reducing harm, improving efficiency outlines the Government's high-level strategic direction for waste management and minimisation in New Zealand.
This strategy was released in 2010 and replaced the 2002 Waste Strategy.
Strategy goals
The New Zealand Waste Strategy has two goals.
These are to:
- reduce the harmful effects of waste
- improve the efficiency of resource use.
The strategy's two goals provide direction to central and local government, businesses (including the waste industry) and communities on where to focus their efforts to manage waste.
Flexible approach to suit local needs
The strategy has a flexible approach that can be adapted to different situations. This flexible approach ensures waste management and minimisation activities are appropriate for local situations.
