Pet Urine Treatment Northern Beaches
Pet Urine Treatment Northern Beaches
Our little cute pets that keep us company at home are a source of joy to many of us. In fact, many homes are no strangers to pets, considering these ones an integral part of the family. But these family members are usually an unfortunate source of carpet odour.
While water or drink spillages on the carpet could lead to odours, the biggest causes of carpet odours in most homes are caused by pets. Although we teach our pets that the number one house rule is never to pee or defecate outside of their designated areas, accidents happen. These can be rather difficult to care for. Besides the odorous pollution, pet urine can also contaminate your carpet pile and underlay, potentially even causing rot.
Areas affected by pet urine in the home can give off very harsh smells, giving the house in general a terribly awful odour. This can get potentially worse when a pet is territorial and continuously urinates in a particular spot, making the stench in that particular area deep and concentrated.
The depth and amount of stain and odour a pet leaves behind would depend on such factors as the age of the pet, sex, health conditions, and its dietary habits.

Happy to come across this very astute article by Jack Schafer on the occasion of the release of volume of diaries by that peerless creep Eric Arthur Blair
As Schafer observes —
"the possibility that Diaries may reveal a new and improved Orwell—or a new and diminished one—can be easily dismissed. That's the case whether you aligned yourself with Orwell's celebrator and intellectual inheritor, Christopher Hitchens, who wrote the introduction for this edition, or that other recently departed leftist public intellectual, Alexander Cockburn, who likened Orwell to a "snitch" for informing on Communists (which he did)."
Mot juste to Mr. Cockburn.
"Take, for example, the extended description of descending into the double blackness of the mines with "coal-cutters"—the finished account of which ends up in Wigan Pier. Orwell's chronicle of miners quarrying and transporting coal deposits to the surface echoes Herman Melville's dissertation on whale disassembly in Moby-Dick, and his prose glows lovingly on the miners as they perform their labors. "Above ground, in their thick ill-fitting clothes, they are ordinary-looking men, usually small and not at all impressive," Orwell wrote. "Below, when you see them stripped, all, old and young, have splendid bodies, with every muscle defined and wonderfully small waists. I saw some miners going into their baths. As I thought, they are quite black from head to foot. So the ordinary miner, who has not access to a bath, must be black from the waist down six days a week at least."
Such homoerotic heavy breathing has led to much in the way of what's ever-so-politely referred to as "speculation" concerning Blair who had many women in his life and was quite disdainful of the same-sex oriented. On a site cleverly named "The Pursuers of George Orwell" one finds –
""Matthew Price reported in the Boston Globe that a certain "Jonathan Rose, a professor of history at Drew University," described "1984" as "a kind of manifesto for gay liberation." As Mr. Price very correctly pointed out, this was "a surprising contention, given Orwell's ill-tempered remarks about homosexuals in his journalism." Yet it seems even more bizarre when one considers that homosexuality makes no appearance whatever in the book.
Mr. Rose offered, as if it were some immense revelation, the comment, "Long before Foucault, and without reading Wilhelm Reich, Orwell seems to have grasped that sexual repression was the foundation — and not merely a byproduct of — totalitarianism."Well, yes,"1984″ includes a Junior Anti-Sex League as a feature of control in Big Brother's omniscient state, and describes encounters between the repressed Winston Smith and the highly sexed Julia, who views lovemaking as a form of rebellion. But this vitalism was not original to Orwell, and he did not need Reich to teach it to him. The same theme appears in Evgeny Zamyatin's dystopian classic "We," which was among Orwell's most important influences."
Do Tell Michelle!
Meanwhile on a Wiki comments page–
"On the subject of whether or not George Orwell was gay; when he was Eric Blair he went along the path that most children at boarding school travel. Your hormones are on the move and you don't at first know how to cope with them and so you get crushes on other pupils until you learn to understand yourself and your feelings better. Eric Blair was clearly no different to anyone else while he was at Eton. I have yet to unearth any clear evidence that he was gay, beyond him admitting to Cyril Connelly that he fancied a friend of his. It would not have been out of character if that is the road down which he chose to go because he went his own way from earliest childhood. However, if his inclination had been developing along those lines, I do not understand why he did not fall in love with his blond and charming friend Prosper Buddicom, his closest male friend during the school holidays from the age of eleven until he went to Burma at nineteen."
That's Eric on the left, Prosper on the right and Prosper's sister in between.
All very —
isn't it?
Instead, from that early age he became completely attached to Prosper's diminutive but highly intelligent sister Jacintha, for whom he later wrote the two poems 'Our Minds are Married…' and 'The Pagan'. Jacintha and Eric were inseparable companions, two very young but brilliant minds growing and maturing together. It was a blow to Eric when he declared his feelings to Jacintha – and she gently rebuffed him, saying that she had no physical feelings for his person, but absolute unity with his mind. He went off to Burma and lost his virginity at the earliest opportunity to various small and delicate Burmese girls, whose bodies were very similar to Jacintha's. Later in life, he may well have had partners from both sexes but I cannot so far find the evidence for this. Maybe someone else is better informed? Dione 12 September 2006″
Do I see any hands going up?
(Back to Schafer)
FOR ALL OF ORWELL'S unflinching encounters with casual brutality in the world at large, the diaries do illuminate one dark and private secret: the author's own bigoted views of Jews. Orwell clearly maintained two sets of books, privately slagging Jews in his notebook while publicly condemning bigotry in his 1945 essay "Antisemitism in Britain," in which he denounced anti-Semitism as "an irrational thing." At one point in his travels around London during the Blitz, Orwell visited three subway stations that doubled as bomb shelters. There, he wrote, he found "a higher proportion of Jews than one would normally see in a crowd of this size. What is bad about Jews is that they are not only conspicuous, but go out of their way to make themselves so. A fearful Jewish woman, a regular comic-paper cartoon of a Jewess, fought her way off the train at Oxford Circus, landing blows on anyone who stood in her way." Deeper in that entry, he wrote, "What I do feel is that any Jew, i.e. European Jews, would prefer Hitler's kind of social system to ours, if it were not that he happens to persecute them."
Really? Yes he really wrote that.
"In his hop-picking diary, he teed off on a "little Liverpool Jew of eighteen, a thorough guttersnipe." Orwell doesn't even dignify the Liverpudlian with a name, calling him "the Jew" throughout.
'I do not know when I have seen anyone who disgusted me so much as this boy. He was as greedy as a pig about food, perpetually scrounging round dustbins, and he had a face that recalled some low-down carrion-eating beast. His manner of talking about women, and the expression on his face when he did so, were so loathsomely obscene as to make me feel almost sick. We could never persuade him to wash more of himself than his nose and a small circle around it, and he mentioned quite casually that he had several different kinds of louse on him.'
I don't know what's more remarkable here: Orwell's self-confidence about his Jew-dar, his calculations of the proper percentage of Jews who should be escaping death by rushing to the stations, or his assessment of the filthy, greedy, pushy people he has identified as Jews."
Six of one, half a dozen of the other.
"Orwell's novels mention Jews, but don't excoriate them. On the basis of his published record, does Orwell thereby qualify for the same indulgence that some awarded to H. L. Mencken because his anti-Semitic comments were largely confined to his unpublished works? Do we reach for the other rationales that have been floated in defense of unconfessed anti-Semites in the literary world: that his offenses were committed in a less enlightened time, that England wasn't a very friendly place for Jews in the first place, that his phobia of Jews appears to have been fragmentary, etc.?"
Clearly he kept "two sets of books" for a reason. He was an anti-semite. But he knew full well that one couldn't say such things "out loud" anymore, thanks to the man who he claimed the Jews secretly admired.
"In his introduction, Hitchens writes that he recoiled at the range of Orwell's prejudice against Jews to be found in these diaries—but offers little in the way of judgment beyond his own visceral response as a reader."
No surprise there.
"One might have expected Hitchens—who has written eloquently on anti-Semitism and his own Jewish heritage—to address these issues in his introduction. All he allows is that Orwell expressed disgust and repulsion at all stupid and dirty people, directed his misanthropy and xenophobia at other groups, and that this was a "stage in Orwell's own evolution" toward greater tolerance. (Davison takes a neutral, basically silent corner.) Hitchens mistakenly treats the issue as an embarrassing tic in a revered thinker and writer. That's a shame: By issuing Orwell a get-out-of-jail-free card, he avoided deeper engagement with what it meant to be a public advocate of tolerance and a private bigot, a subject that was in his métier. The dateline on the Hitchens introduction is a little more than two months before his own premature death, so we can spot him a bundle of points. Still, by letting his hero off easy, Hitchens lets his readers down."
You've heard of Internalized Homophobia haven't you? Well there's Internatized Anti-Semitism too. As for "letting his readers down," this reader isn't at all surprised by either Hitchens or Blair. Neither "matters" at all.
Sing us out kids!

The White House and House Speaker Paul Ryan are looking to replace a federal official who's been working to protect election systems from possible Russian cyber attacks. According to Reuters, Matthew Masterson, who holds a seat picked by the House Speaker and formally nominated by the president, won't be re-appointed as a commissioner for the US Election Assistance Commission. Masterson made cybersecurity his priority when he became the commission's chairman in February 2017 in response to what happened during the 2016 Presidential Elections.
Paul Ryan moves to replace election security official
Sponsored Links
On its website, the EAC says it "accredits testing laboratories and certifies voting systems," among other responsibilities. When Masterson wrote an opinion piece for The Hill, he said the EAC would support and empower state and local governments to purchase "new and innovative election" machines. He also said that his office will "keep turning to state and local election officials to listen and respond" to election cybersecurity issues.
The US intelligence community believes Russian authorities launched a cyber attack on US election infrastructure on top of hacking the DNC and Hillary Clinton herself before and during the 2016 elections. In addition, the voting machines the country has been using for the past decade are already obsolete and vulnerable to infiltration. At least a couple of states are already planning to replace them with more secure models, though in Pennsylvania's case, it doesn't have the budget to do so.
It's unclear why the Speaker isn't nominating Masterson for a second four-year term. Ryan's spokesperson AshLee Strong only told Reuters: "The appointment expired in December and we are going in a different direction for our nomination. We nominate people for a variety of positions and generally speaking choose our own folks."
Privacy advocates are already worried about the impact of Masterson's removal from the EAC, since it could mean that the meaningful security changes he's been fighting for won't see the light of day before the midterm elections take place in November. Especially since intelligence agencies believe that Russia will try to attack again. Center for Democracy & Technology chief technologist Joseph Lorenzo Hall told Politico: "This is insanity. [Masterson] is extremely capable and has been a champion of more secure and better elections the entire time he's been on the EAC." Colorado election chief Judd Choate echoed that sentiment, telling Reuters that "It is pretty remarkable that in this environment, given the importance of this issue, that the speaker would choose this moment to not reappoint the person doing the most work in this area."
While Strong didn't explain why Ryan won't be re-appointing Masterson, it's worth noting that a Republican-led House panel passed a bill last year to terminate the EAC. Masterson has been fighting to keep the agency alive. As for who'll replace him in the role of chairman, Politico reporter Eric Geller says it could be Republican appointee Christy McCormick, who's not entirely convinced that election security is an urgent issue.
Masterson has made cybersecurity a major focus of his chairmanship, which began last February (he had been a commissioner since 2014). Unclear why the White House and Speaker Ryan want to replace him. https://t.co/slar706QkC— Eric Geller (@ericgeller) February 22, 2018

"So from tonight, take your firm stand with the Presence. While This Messenger does not wish Me to use him as an example, nevertheless I must do it. I call your attention, Beloved Ones, to his experience.
Up until he met his beloved companion, there was no one in the world to whom he could turn for Assistance. There was only one thing he could do; and that was stand and follow to the best of his ability, the Inner Promptings which came.
Then, after the contact with Beloved Saint Germain, he was shown how very accurately, he had been following Those Inner Promptings.
If every one would only follow Those Inner promptings, you would all be able to hold to the Light; but Individuals allow their attention to outer things, to make them waver, wonder, question or doubt – when they are actually having these Inner Promptings all the time; some days not having them quite so strong as others.
He did not always have them so strong that he was certain about everything, yet he continued to follow to the best of his ability. There was no one to whom he could go.
That is why Beloved Saint Germain, Nada and Myself have urged the Students, to feel the Full Power of their Presence to prompt them; then stand by It, until they can have the Full Outer Consciousness and Assurance, the Presence would always answer; because it is the Law of your Being, that It is compelled to answer.
You will soon gain a confidence in the outer, so every time you call to your Presence, instantly there will flow forth Its Mighty Energy Directing Intelligence, the Great Calm Certain Feeling within you, which gives you the Assurance of Its Accomplishment.
Tonight, as I refer to these various things, these Qualities are not only being anchored, but charged into your feeling world for action.
Oh, Beloved Ones, it is action We need now! What do I mean by that? The release thru your Decrees into the mental and feeling world of mankind, of This Mighty Charge and Activity.
We repeatedly say to you, it is one of the Greatest Services which can be rendered; and in your Mighty Groups here, the Accomplishment has been wonderful I assure you, even in the past six months."

Regarding my entry on 17 March, the always alert Tim Koch in London has sent me an e-mail with some thoughts about Ernest Barry, Bert Barry, and the World Professional Sculling Championship. Tim writes,
"The wonderful photograph of Ernest Barry (1882-1968) arriving at Putney in July 1913 to race Harry Pearce of Australia for the Sculling Championship of the World tells us a lot about professional sculling at that time. Firstly, Barry needed a police escort through the crowds because the sport had such a popular following. Before 1914 the 'Big Five' sports in Britain were soccer, rugby, cricket, boxing and rowing. It must be admitted that much of the interest may have been due to the betting that took place. Sadly this race was almost the 'last hurrah' of professional sculling as it never fully recovered its former mass appeal following the 1914-1918 War."
Tim continues, "Secondly, Barry is clearly very well dressed and a bit of a 'swell' as they would say at the time. The classic way for a working class lad to make big money quickly (and spend it on 'bling') was, and probably is, to do well in sport or show business. What does the £500 prize money translate as today? According to the Nation Archives website, its spending worth would be £21,530 ($33,046) now. MeasuringWorth.com takes a different comparison, that of average earnings, and says that earning £500 then is equal to receiving £189,000 ($290,000) now."
The next race for Barry was against another Australian, Jim Paddon, also on the Championship course between Putney and Mortlake, on 7 September 1914. Barry won at 21 min. 28 sec. The next person to challenge Barry for the title was Alf Felton of Australia (seen on the right), on 27 October 1919. About this race, Tim notes down "There is nice film on British Pathé of Barry racing Felton at Putney in October 1919. At twenty seconds into the film we see the two walk out, Felton wrapped in a mackintosh but Barry in white shoes, flannels and ascot with cap and blazer. Clearly he is a bit of a showman. There is an interesting shot two minutes into the film which shows an eight following one of the scullers in the race, but the bowman is not rowing and is facing the wrong way. He is (quite legally) coaching and steering the competitor. Fenton won."
Parts of the Felton – Barry rematch on the Parramatta River in Australia on 31 August 1920, which Barry won, can be viewed on the following newsreel:
Tim continues, "The £2,000 that Barry needed for travel and stake-money was raised very quickly by public subscription, such was the interest. Those interested in history always like the idea of continuity so it is pleasing to note that Ernest's nephew, Bert, was World Champion 1927-1930 and that a Barry continues to be at the forefront of modern sculling. Ernest's great-nephew, Bill, won Silver in the Coxless Four at the 1964 Olympics and won the Wingfield Sculls 1963-1966. Today he coaches British Olympic sculler, Alan Campbell."
Great stuff, Tim. Thank you!

Fire District #4
Published:2019-07-01 Fire
Fire District #4
The Board of Fire Commissioners of Snohomish County Fire District #4 will be presenting a Ballot Measure to its voters on August 6th to renew the EMS Levy in order to maintain its paramedic program. The current levy, passed in 2013 and initially in 2005, will expire on December 31, 2019.
This vote will be different than the previous two EMS ballots because the Commissioners believe that now is the time to establish this levy as Permanent. Commission Chair Mark Hintz believes that the public appreciates the quality of service that the District provides, "The District has been able to support this service for 12 years with the approval of the public. A permanent status will guarantee funding and provide the District the confidence to plan for the future", Hintz states.
A Permanent status does not require a vote of the public every 6 years, although a vote of the public could be held to repeal the EMS Levy. As for the levy amounts imposed, these vary the same as any other assessment based on property values, and by law property taxes can't be raised greater than 1% per year without a vote of the public.
Snohomish County Fire District #4 provides emergency services to approximately 60 square miles in and around the City of Snohomish. The District has a population of about 32,000 full- time residents and responds to calls from three fire stations staffed 24 hours a day using a mix of career and part-time personnel. In 2018 District personnel responded to 2629 calls requiring medical service, 67% of all the calls that were responded to.
The District receives 86% of its funding through the collection of property taxes and is currently collecting $.34 per thousand dollars of assessed valuation for the EMS tax, this amounts to only 20% of the total 2019 budget. The Commissioners will be asking the voters to allow a Levy collection rate of up to $0.50 in order to adequately support the Paramedic Service. For the owners of a $300,000.00 home this measure would increase their assessment from $102.00 to $150.00 per year.
This measure will allow District 4 to continue the Paramedic service that has proven to be a life-saving asset to the community. Fire Chief Ron Simmons says that revenue from this levy will be particularly focused toward staffing, "The District has been extremely dependent on the availability of Part-Time staffing and those people are leaving every department in large numbers, costs for everything we use are increasing but we must hire more people to keep up with the emergency response demands of the public."
Citizens who would like to meet with the Chief or would like more information are encouraged to call 360-568-2141 during regular business hours (M-F, 8:30 A.M to 4:30 P.M).
The public is as also encouraged to attend meetings of the Board of Fire Commissioners. Please visit the District website for schedules and more information. WWW.SnohomishFire.org.

Though there are times when questions regarding our spirituality and charism seem redundant and cause some to get "lost in the clouds," the Precious Blood Leadership Conference (PBLC) recently found remarkable similarity in the understanding of our spirituality among the participating congregations.
You may recall that earlier this year the Precious Blood Spirituality Committee asked community members of the participating congregations to list five words that express for them the meaning of precious blood spirituality. The committee combined those words into word clouds so that they could "see" what our words say to us. A word cloud generator actually counts the number of times a specific word has been used in a document. It takes those words and makes them larger in size according to their frequency of use. This allows one to look at a document and receive a pictorial representation of that document.
From the words that were sent in from each community, the committee developed word clouds for the six Precious Blood communities, for the men's communities, the women's communities, and for all of the communities combined. The Kansas City Province had one of the highest rates of response as 95% of the membership contributed to this process.
The committee encourages members, companions, and volunteers to have conversations around these word clouds. Here are some suggested discussion points:
- What words are most predominant? What were the smaller facets of each page?
- What are the top 5 words from each group? How does that compare to the total group?
- What surprises you about your community's word cloud? What surprises you as you compare the word clouds?
- What do these words say about our Precious Blood spirituality today?
The committee encourages you to include these word clouds in your prayer and invites you to send any insights you would like to share to the representative of your community on this committee. Fr. Jack McClure, C.PP.S. represents the Kansas City Province on the spirituality committee.

Could drinking fountains be set to return to Norwich city centre?
PUBLISHED: 12:13 13 March 2018 | UPDATED: 12:40 13 March 2018
For decades, the city centre's drinking fountains have been running dry, long since out of commission.
Now, Green councillors are hoping to quench Norwich's lack of the facilities, by motioning to reintroduce them to the city.
City councillors Lesley Graham and Simeon Jackson plan to raise the motion at a meeting of the council chamber next week, as a latest measure to reduce plastic pollution in the city.
Ms Grahame said not only would reintroducing the fountains reduce the number of plastic bottles people throw away, but it would also benefit people's health. She said: "Water is fundamental to our health and is the healthiest thing we can drink. Nobody should be denied access to it.
"Norwich has the opportunity to follow many other cities and introduce drinking fountains that are well used and popular."
Ms Grahame's motion will implore fellow councillors to explore the possibility, looking into the feasibility of installing fountains across the city.
She added the most obvious place to start would be reinstalling those that had previously served the function, rather than installing brand new fountains.

Stepfather-Stepson Communication
Social Support in Stepfamily Worlds
Jonathan Pettigrew
Chapter Six. The Weliver Family
The Weliver Family
The Weliver family respects the autonomy of its members and expects from everyone responsibility, self-management, and honesty. Stepfather Karl Weliver works as a maintenance supervisor and program coordinator for a popular production venue. His job requires his presence on site many evenings of the month, but as a supervisor he has some flexibility to join his family for dinner. Karl is married to Kara Weliver, his third wife. They have been together for three years. She works eight to five as administrative assistant for a nonprofit center. Ten-year-old Evan Brown is Kara's only biological son. He enjoys playing with a variety of toys, working on projects, and playing video games. Evan buses to and from a nearby elementary school. Fred Weliver, 17, also lives with the family. A junior in high school, Fred is Karl's biological son by his first marriage and, like his father, is interested in auto mechanics. Kim Weliver, Karl's biological daughter by his first marriage, lives and attends college in a city about an hour's drive from the family household. Karl also has an 11-year-old son by his second marriage who he sees very infrequently, only about two or three times per year.
The relational culture of support in the Weliver family is one where Karl has fun with Evan and involves him in as many projects as possible. Karl also teaches Evan, through participation, how to tinker.

Chris Evans takes a look at piracy in Spain, one of the world's worst offenders.
Spain is one of the world's biggest piracy offenders with an estimated 350 million illegal film downloads in 2008, costing the Spanish industry around $1bn in lost revenue, according to the country's anti-piracy association, FAP.
Yet the situation may change radically following two key appointments: Angeles Gonzalez Sinde, a former Spanish film academy president, has been made culture minister, and Ignasi Guardans has been installed as head of Spain's film institute, the Institute of Cinematography and Audiovisual Arts, Neither believes legislation is the answer to the piracy problem. "The fight against piracy will never come out of a single piece of legislation,"
says Guardans. "If somebody thinks a government will come out with a magic formula, they're completely wrong."
So far, just one prosecution has been made against a Spanish site administrator, who was sentenced to six months in jail and fined $6,500 for profiting from copyright infringement on his site infopsp.com.
It seems Gonzales Sinde is prepared to take drastic action. She has said she is considering a move to make the sharing of digital content illegal — outlawing all peer-to-peer sites. Spain's internet users' association, the Asociacion De Internautas, has reacted with outrage, saying the move would infringe civil liberties.
For their part, Guardans and film-maker Alex De La Iglesia, the newly appointed president of the Spanish film academy, are keen to point out the end user is not necessarily to blame, but insist the industry itself needs to provide better legal alternatives.
"The best way to tackle the growing number of illegal downloads is for film-makers to do their films in HD and offer them for download on the same day as their cinema release for as little money as possible, like iTunes currently does," suggests De La Iglesia. "The problem is that the Spanish industry doesn't know how to exploit the internet as a business yet."

When Alejandro was born with a disability, his parents fell to their knees in despair. In their country of Cuba, poverty presses down hard and medical help is scarce. Wheelchairs for a child like Alejandro are rare – scarcely available and impossible to afford. Thanks to you, the family came face-to-face with God's love this year when Alejandro received a beautiful new Joni and Friends pediatric wheelchair! "I am crying tears of joy because my son is so happy and comfortable," said Alejandro's father, Yanel. "It's such a joy to see him have his own place in the world for the first time." As Alejandro's parents rejoiced over the gift you sent, local pastors prayed with them and shared the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It was the best news Alejandro's they had ever heard! Today, through your gift of a wheelchair, God has broken this family's isolation and despair and replaced it with joyous, new life in Christ!

It's interesting to note the vast majority of pet owners who responded to a Consumer Reports survey -- more than 80 percent -- said they have not cut back on the amount of money spent on their companion animals. And this was the case even during the height of the recession.
If you've found it necessary to cut back on pet care expenses in recent years, I recommend you read my blog "Caring for Pets in a Tough Economy" for tips on how to keep your pet healthy and happy even when money is tight.
Is It Smart to Shop Around for Veterinary Care?
From my perspective as a DVM and pet owner, finding the right veterinarian for your dog, cat, bird or other companion is rarely simply a matter of cost. And that's not to say price shouldn't be a consideration when you're looking for a vet -- just that it shouldn't be the only consideration. Only you can decide how much of your income you can afford to part with toward the care of furry family members.
If you're budget-conscious, I think it's a great idea to plan for, say, two yearly wellness exams and a teeth cleaning for your dog or cat. Knowing the cost of these services ahead of time means you can include them in your budget planning.
What About Urgent and Emergency Care Costs?
It's much more difficult to prepare in advance for expenses for a pet that becomes ill or injured, or has a life-threatening situation requiring treatment at an emergency clinic. I recommend you familiarize yourself ahead of time with the emergency facility you'll use if you need one. Part of this planning should include finding out what forms of payment the clinic will accept -- cash or check only, or do they take credit cards? Some pet owners set a credit card aside to use only for pet care emergencies.
Others purchase pet health insurance coverage for their animals. The plans run in the neighborhood of $30 to $40 a month for a dog, and a bit less for a cat. You still must plan to pay upfront for the care your pet receives, but you can then request reimbursement from the insurer.
I also recommend you familiarize yourself with the difference between urgent care situations and true life-threatening emergencies. Some pet conditions actually look or sound or smell worse than they are. Conversely, some truly life-threatening situations might not appear initially very serious. Knowing when to incur expensive emergency services and when it's safe to wait for an appointment with your regular vet can help control pet care costs.
Another Consideration: What Type of Medicine Does the Vet Practice?
When deciding on veterinary care for your precious pet, in addition to finding out about fees, I recommend you also look at the DVM's practice philosophy. Ideally, your vet's approach to keeping your pet healthy will mirror your own.
There are traditionally-oriented vets, holistically-oriented vets, and integrative vets like me who combine the best of both worlds of medicine in our care of animals. As a general rule, a traditionally-trained DVM will focus on treating your pet when she's ill or injured, using drugs and/or surgery. A holistically-trained DVM will usually be more interested in promoting wellness and preventing illness.
Proactive, integrative vets like me bring the philosophies of both Western and alternative medicine to the treatment of patients. Both approaches have practical application in the care of companion animals.
Questions to ask prospective veterinarians might include:
• What is her position on vaccinations? Does she do titering to test pets for immunity before vaccinating?
• How quick is he to dispense drugs like antibiotics and steroids to his patients?
• How often does she employ alternative methods of healing in her practice like herbs, nutritional supplements, chiropractic, acupuncture, homeopathy or physical/movement therapy?
• How does he feel about raw feeding, if that's how you feed your pet? It's important that you and your vet have similar philosophies when it comes to nourishing your pet.
Other Things to Check Out
If possible, it's always a good idea to "preview" a prospective vet's practice to check your comfort level with the facility and staff. A few things to look for:
• What are office hours? Are they available evenings or weekends?
• Is the facility clean and organized, with a calm atmosphere?
• Does the staff seem caring, professional and communicative?
• How many doctors are in the practice? Are any of them specialists?
• Are they equipped to handle emergencies? If not, to whom do they refer those cases?
• It's also good to find out what kind of diagnostic equipment is available. Many small or new practices don't have X-ray or scanning equipment, for example, which means you'll need to go elsewhere for those types of services.
Dr. Karen Becker is a proactive and integrative wellness veterinarian. You can visit her site at: MercolaHealthyPets.com.
Her goal is to help you create wellness in order to prevent illness in the lives of your pets. This proactive approach seeks to save you and your pet from unnecessary stress and suffering by identifying and removing health obstacles even before disease occurs. Unfortunately, most veterinarians in the United States are trained to be reactive. They wait for symptoms to occur, and often treat those symptoms without addressing the root cause.
By reading Dr. Becker's information, you'll learn how to make impactful, consistent lifestyle choices to improve your pet's quality of life.

If you are interested in adding some freshness to your living room, then there are some great ways to achieve that. You could start by adding some pieces of furniture to your existing living room. Then you can add some spring decor. Let's take a look at some ideas to help you with decorating your living room.
Choosing your wall color is important. The first thing to do is decide which color of wall paint will work best for your living room. You may need to stay away from neutral shades or colors that are too dark or too light.
After you choose your wall paint and you have a good idea on the style of your furniture, you need to make sure that your sofa and other furniture pieces to match your decor. Some designs will require certain pieces of furniture but those cannot be used with different colors.
To help create more living room style, you can use mirrors in your living room. You can also place some decorative stuff around your living room such as sculptures, clocks, lamps, paintings, and other items that can enhance the appearance of your living room.
Suggestions of new things to incorporate in your living room include placing additional pillows and throw rugs around the room. The placement of those items is very important because you want to get the effect of bringing it all together with your decor.
Adding accessories to your living room is another great way to change the look of your living room. You can start by using pictures on the wall as wall art. Using something small like that is a good way to draw attention to the wall while still keeping the room from looking cluttered.
Another great way to change the look of your living room is to add some upholstered seating. For a great change, you could look into buying some chairs that have different colors and patterns. You may also consider using a sofa cover to keep the color of your living room uniform.

Mighty No. 9 has been pushed back for a third time. A spiritual successor to Mega Man backed by series co-creator Keiji Inafune, Mighty No. 9 was the first big Japanese video game crowdfunding success story, raising over $4 million back in September of 2013. The enthusiastic response to Mighty No. 9 inspired other Japanese developers to embrace Kickstarter – Koji Igarashi successfully funded his Castlevania spiritual successor Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, and Yu Suzuki managed to raise over $6 million for Shenmue III.
Unfortunately, as is too often the case, a Kickstarter success story has led to a rocky development cycle. Mighty No. 9 was originally scheduled for April 2015, before being pushed back to September 2015 and then to February 2016. The game now has a nebulous Spring 2016 release date. Keiji Inafune took to Mighty No. 9's Kickstarter page to explain the latest delay and apologize…
"The reason for the delay is rooted in bugs inside the online modes, and specifically problems with matchmaking. There are two large reasons for this problem, one of them being the large number of platforms supported and the other stems from the fact that the engine we are using [Unreal Engine 3] is no longer being updated which means adjustments for matchmaking and online code are being made manually. Unfortunately, this is all a result of miscalculations on the part of us, the development staff. As a result, our fans who have been looking forward to Mighty No. 9 have been forced to wait for over half a year longer than expected, and for that we are sincerely sorry.
For this third delay of the game, we have no excuses for disappointing our fans and especially our backers once more. We want to take this chance to express our sincerest apologies to everyone who has looked forward to the release."
It would be easier to take these multiple delays if the reasoning behind them was "We want to give you more content and/or improve the gameplay!" Instead, it seems it's always issues related to porting, bugs, and other behind-the-scenes business stuff. It feels like the game has been more-or-less done for a year, but is just tied up in red tape and business wranglings. It's hardly surprising that fans are starting to get frustrated.
Here's hoping Mighty No. 9 has a more solid release date soon, and the "9" in its title doesn't end up being the number of times it's pushed back.

I used to ask God, "Why?" I rarely got any sort of an answer so I stopped asking. (But I confess, I never stopped wondering.) I've heard good Christians tell me that "THE Answer" was that I had to learn to live with all my unanswered questions. (That didn't help much either.) I don't believe…Read More

Things have really changed from what it was, and season 3 ended on a high note, and this glimpse it season 4 says a lot. You could tell some people died and some people are barely surviving. I love this show and can't get enough of it, I can't believe that its only two months away. I hope they have a two hour season premiere, that would be fantastic.
United Nations employee Gerry Lane traverses the world in a race against time to stop the Zombie pandemic that is toppling armies and governments, and threatening to destroy humanity itself.
World War Z is based on the best selling novel by Max Brooks, I remember reading the book and it was one rollercoatser of a book, I couldn't put it down. There were parts to the story that just pulled you in, page after page, and it was very different then your usual Zombie novel, it was a completely different take to a degree that I thought what was going on was real. I had very high expectations for the movie and there was a high budget for it with Brad Pitt in the mix. Right off the bat I liked the movie but it could have been so much better, honestly it didn't follow anything of the novel except that Zombies over run the earth and seem somewhat unstoppable. I would have expected them to be able to get the meat of the story even the way the book presents itself is unique and this shows the talent of Max Brooks, too bad it didn't get ported to the movie. But I enjoyed it and had a few shock moments and if you want to watch a good zombie movie this is it, but I was hoping for much more.
Link: IMDB
The trailer is finally out after so many delays, I loved the book from Max Brooks World War Z, but damn! This movie looks AWESOME, the zombies aren't the slow moving dumb kind but scary is hell and it looks like a world crisis of epic proportions, I hope they do the book justice. Can't wait to see this movie.
Set in the same terrifying universe as his million-selling World War Z, Closure, Ltd is among the short stories found within this collection. In it, Max interviews the head of a company dedicated to finding emotional closure for survivors of the zombie war by assassinating their former zombie attackers. Written in his trademark style, these tales are a combination of horror, drama, and socio-political commentary.
After leading his last book World War Z I'm just waiting for his next book, and this short story book picks up where the other one left off. When I started reading it you jump right into it again, he is so obsessed with zombies and its just so good you honestly believe that zombies are real and his books are the only way to fight them and go on as the human race. A very fun and easy read, if you get into it you can finish it in a few days, took me two weeks and I was taking my time. I honestly wish there was more and he takes a very different route with this one, introducing vampires. This time around you get their perspective and how the vampires fared against zombies and how zombies would react to them as well. His talent is getting you to believe the stories that he is writing are real and is happening right now. If you read World War Z then you have to read this as well.

The world we knew is gone. An epidemic of apocalyptic proportions has swept the globe causing the dead to rise and feed on the living. In a matter of months society has crumbled. In a world ruled by the dead, we are forced to finally start living.
The Second Season started just a bit slower then the first one but just as nerve racking. The show never disappoints honestly and towards the end it just keeps getting better and better as the episodes are released. This season was 13 episodes and as we got closer things got more insane, and now that I want to know whats going to happen next the season ends. And unlike a lot of other shows, they do kill off main characters here and they do change drastically so things start to take a different shape from episode to episode.
I don't want to ruin this for anyone or mention anything that could spoil it for people. But this season is suspenseful and damn good, I can't wait for the third season. I can't blame so many people jumping on the Zombie band wagon, this show just did it right. If you haven't seen Season 2 then you should, its really worth it.
Plot Summary: Takashi Komuro is a normal highschool boy, until an infection breaks out that turns people into zombie-like creatures. Along with his friends & the school nurse, they fight their way out and continue their journey to find out what exactly has happened to the world.
This really took a page out of World War Z, a couple of students stuck in school with a few zombies coming in only to find that it is a world epidemic. They all start off in different groups and you see the characters of people in this situation, where kids have to decide to kill to live or just die if they don't try. The anime is fun and I do love seeing people with sorts and weapons, but this anime takes a turn for the funny and kinky, its serious and funny at the same time. It shows some people doing what they have to do to survive and some hold on to their humanity and some don't, and then there is the kinky part and it shows up pretty early in the show but its just a fun quick series to watch 12 episodes, I was hoping that we would see what exactly would happen and how they would fight these zombies to an end but it seems they left that part to be continued.

A gun trotting Woody Harrelson in a land filled with zombies, what more can you ask for in a movie. I knew from the moment I saw the cover of this movie that I had to see it, and its as gory as you expect it to be and Woody Harrelson plays the funniest cowboy redneck character with a gun killing zombies for fun. Then there are the other characters who make it just as funny, even with all that gore I was laughing my head off. Just the exact type of movie you would expect right from the name, you won't be disappointed.

54 French cities receive awards for the revitalisation of central sites
All applicants to the specialized state programme will receive financial or expert and administrative support by the French government
- March 24, 2019 13:00
- Aseniya Dimitrova
The French ministry of Territorial cohesion and relations with local and regional authorities, the Ministry of Culture, the City of Architecture and Heritage and the financial partners of the program Action Coeur de Ville - Territorial Bank, Action Logement and Anah have launched in December 2018 the programme Réinventons nos cœurs de ville (Reinventing the hearth of the cities). It has the objective to renew emblematic sites in the city centres by encouraging innovative urban projects. It has recently been announces that the State will support all of them in one way or another. Minister Jacqueline Gourault (Minister of Territorial cohesion and relations with local and regional authorities) announced that the 54 winning cities will be accompanied to launch a local call for projects in 2019, while the other 57 cities will receive tailor-made support to make their projects successful.
The participation in this call is considered a huge success, as half of the programme cities have shown interest by applying for support. Accordingly, among the 111 sites proposed for renovation one may find unused industrial fields, hospitals, elements of the heritage. From them 54 will have the opportunity to receive expert advice and 30 000 euro financial support.

No worries, though, since he's about to drop 80 new tracks (no, not a typo) of blissful ambiance in the form of Frozen Geometry. The entire thing will be out via double cassette (good news for you '02 Optima owners still squeezing some life out of your tape decks) on 10/21, but you can head on over to CvsJ's bandcamp to preview five different tracks right now. Some bands would call that an EP's worth of music, but you'll still have 75 other songs to look forward to in late October.

The Terror Error
Today feels like right before a big storm, anxiety hovers but lightening doesn't quite strike. Will Rove succeed in getting his treason labeled patriotism? Will Rehnquist ever just resign so I can start worrying proper? Perhaps it's just that I leave soon for a long vacation and something huge always happens when I'm gone. (In 1991, Gorbachev was kidnapped while I swam in a waterfall; a few years later Jerry Garcia died while I was learning to surf.)
I grew up in the nuclear shadow and so this feeling of free-floating anxiety is kind of familiar. It's the sense that we've gone in such the wrong direction that we would have no idea how to turn back, even if we realized we wanted to. I imagine the historians of the future trying to pin the dates on this "War on Terror" and how they will say it ended. But then I start thinking about who those historians might be and I have to stop thinking. I haven't felt this pessimistic since Helen Caldicott came to speak in my high school auditorium.
Maybe I'm just feeling the weight of what Wayne Roberts calls The Terror Error. See, this whole "clash of civilizations" was really just a mistake. The carrot and the stick got out of hand. Some of us got too big for our britches. Roberts puts it well: "Sad but true: we are witnessing a conflict between two groups that slaughter innocents. One side uses explosives, the other armies and debt ledgers." No wonder I'm feeling down.

Also, the new site design is awesome, but did you forget to include a link to the community forum or am I not looking in the right place?

Maiming of Big Cats Lands Man in Prison
DENVER (CN) – A federal judge imposed a 27-month prison sentence against a Colorado man who helped organize illegal hunts of mountain lions and bobcats.
Christopher Loncarich, 55, of Mack, previously pleaded guilty to the indictment accusing him of organizing such hunts in Colorado and Utah from 2007 to 2010.
"In particular, Loncarich and his confederates trapped, shot and caged mountain lions and bobcats prior to hunts in order to provide easier chases of the cats for clients," the Justice Department said in a statement on the Thursday sentencing.
Many of the hunters whom Loncarich and his assistants guided did not have licenses for Utah mountain lions or bobcats, according to the plea.
The government said Loncarich's base of operations in Mack is 5 miles from the Utah-Colorado border. Hunters paid Loncarich between $3,500 and $7,500 to hunt mountain lions, while the cost of bobcat hunts ranged between $700 and $1,500.
Loncarich's lead assistant guide, Nicholaus Rodgers, pleaded guilty to felony conspiracy to violate the Lacey Act this past July.
The government notes that it has obtained guilty pleas under the Lacey Act from four of Loncarich's assistant guides.

I'm really enjoying this course. I'm about half way through. I'm looking forrward to how the various courses in this series take me farther and farther into language learning theories and techniques.
May 15, 2017
All the theories are presented in an extremely organized way.\n\nThe dramatic representation has been rather memorable.\n\nSeeing myriad theories from the lens of time has helped my knowledge stick.

This course provides me opportunity to teach my kids in effective way that is proved to be in line with research on learning second language. I rate it the best course in this regard and would like to say special thanks to Dr Shane Dixon and all his team. I felt my teaching skills are improved after completing this course but there is still space for improvement in final assessment, in my opinion, there should be a thorough understanding for the participants of the course on how this final assessment could be beneficial for them. However the overall impact can be expressed in a big Thanks.

Good overview of the last 150 years of language teaching philosophy. The back-in-time and angel-and-devil skits were a little cheesy sometimes, but they helped to keep things interesting. More detail on some of the information presented would be nice, but it seems to be aimed at inexperienced teachers or people with native languages other than English, and so the level is kept fairly low.
Overall, a good introduction to the subject and enough information provided to launch into your own independent study of some of the concepts introduced.

The videos convey content clearly and in an engaging manner, equal to the Foundation class that I rated higher. But there are noticeably more errors in the English video transcripts, and PDFs cannot be uploaded when submitting work for peer review. I also felt there were too many questions requiring multiple answers, some of which were a bit of a stretch for me to include, although I appreciated that those tests would give partial credit when some of the multiple answers chosen were correct and others weren't.

I thought the second course attempted to get a bit more creative with the videos. Yes, they're silly, but silly is more memorable, and it's a good example of how we as teachers can make the classroom more fun. The quizzes were actually challenging and the content was interesting. Some things that need to be fixed: when you miss a question on the quiz, it doesn't tell you the correct answer. And the peer graded assignments are still lacking rigor. Looking forward to the rest of the certificate.

i found it entertaining and informative. It leaves room for discussion but has given me a non ESL teacher an interesting insight into the theories of Language Acquisition.
I am interested in the way one Teaching Discipline takes knowledge from another, repacks it and sells it under their School of Teaching in almost the same way the despicable H.R. industry relaunches every few years.
In summary a good section of the course well presented but i hate "Tests or Exams" :-(

to me as a total newby in the topic the content was really interesting
however, its presentation. well. I truly thank the teachers for bringing together the review of all the approaches. but the manner of presentation was so artificial I couldn't help thinking just - when will the real learning begin? without all the silly role plays?
again, thanks, I tearned a lot from the course. but I did also struggle through it because of the teachers' manner of presentation

Much more useful than the first course. It was very interesting to see that methodology has a different approaach according to the purpose of the class that is not necessarily communication. Great experience Although I think that the questions for peer revision are so general aand vague that one is almost forced to give a good grade even if the assignment is just a re-telling of what was presented on the video, sometimes even word by word.

The transcripts for each video should be corrected and rewritten. There are misspelled words and incomplete sentences. The transcriber misheard many of the words.
All in all, I enjoyed the classes, videos and effort each instructor invested in the preparation of the material. I would like to mentor students and had submitted an application. I am waiting for a reply.
My plan is to complete the TESOL Certificate Course.
Thank you.

Outside of all the technological issues I have been experiencing when trying to view the videos, I have still been able to thoroughly enjoy my course. I do not have a formal background in ESL, but I am definitely acquiring the technical skills that will enhance my skill set. Keep doing what you are doing. Oh and I love how you incorporated your dreams into your profession. You never gave up! Commendable!

It would really been helpful if you provided some readings for each approach. I could do outside readings but as you know you can find lots of readings which might be not useful for a beginner.
The final test was not close by to being easy even though I did study. Thank you for that and that's a good job giving us a challenge to look forward to.

It seems staff do not monitor, or address, issues posted repeatedly to the forum, especially in regards to the final test (part 2 of the specialty). The content of the course is great, and if someone with the authority to make changes when errors are detected and reported did care for the course I would have have rated the course higher.

BREAKING: Controversial university boathouse plans given the go-ahead by councillors
PUBLISHED: 17:02 09 May 2013 | UPDATED: 17:17 09 May 2013
CAMBRIDGE University Boat Club's controversial plans to build a new boathouse in Ely were today approved by councillors.
A majority of eight councillors to three voted to approve the scheme, subject to a number of conditions, including further discussion with Natural England about mitigating damage to wildlife and the completion of more ecological surveys.
The approval comes despite impassioned pleas from a number of parties, including the Wildlife Trust and Ely Wildspace, which called for the plans to be rejected and the choice of the Fore Mill Wash site re-considered.
Cambridge University Boat Club applied late last year to build its multi-million pound boathouse on 12-acres of land at Fore Mill Wash, which sit next to Roswell Pits, a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI),
Andrew Balmford, member of Ely Wildspace and Cambridge University academic, told the committee: "The proposed mitigation measure are far from adequate. All the relevant organisations believe there will be significant harm to the ecology of the site."
Martin Baker, from the Wildlife Trust, added: "How can the district council, without an in-house ecologist, conclude that there would not be any significant harm to wildlife?"
Despite their concerns however, the majority of councillors were un-moved with only Bill Hunt, Sue Austen and Jeremy Friend-Smith voting against the proposal.
Speaking in support of the plans, Ely councillor Mike Rouse said: "I don't want this opportunity to be passed by. I welcome the initiative to build such a state-of-the-art facility in Ely."
Cllr Joshua Schumann added: "I think it is a good use of the waterway and I think there will be a benefit to the community in the longer term and in terms of the proposed station gateway development."
Although third parties cannot now appeal the committee's decision, they can take the case to judicial review if it is felt that there was a legal error in the planning process.

Iceland, NATO and the prospect of neutrality.
As the struggle between the Land powers and the Sea powers continue around the world an interesting thing is happening on Iceland which has served as in important geostrategic point in the Atlanticist periphery since the Second World War.
During World War Two the U.S. Army established a naval air station on the island which served as a hub for the flow of supplies and personnel to the Allied war effort in Europe. After the conclusion of the war the American's left. In 1949 Iceland became a founding member of NATO and two years later American soldiers were permanently stationed on the island as part of the containment strategy against the USSR and its allies.
Following the collapse of the Soviet Union in the early 1990's the first steps were taken to remove the presence of foreign military personnel from Icelandic territory and in 2006 the last American troops left the island.
Currently, Iceland is the only NATO member state without a standing army but her strength lies in her strategic location in the centre of the "GIUK gap" as well as being close to the Arctic which gives it great geopolitical value.
NATO still conducts military exercises from Iceland with the latest being Operation Trident Juncture which took place in the autumn of 2018 which also included Norwegian territory. Around 50,000 soldiers from 29 NATO member states were involved. The exercises near the Arctic come as a consequence of the Atlanticist powers renewed interest in monitoring and containing the Russian and Chinese presence in the North Atlantic region.
These things considered, it is interesting to note that the current Prime Minister of Iceland, Katrin Jakobsdottir of the Left-Green Movement, has publicly expressed the her party would prefer to see her country leave NATO in favour of neutrality. Said Katrin Jakobsdottir; "My party's position is that we are against Iceland's membership of NATO," […] "However, we are the only party in Iceland's parliament that holds that position, and Iceland now has a national security policy which passed through Parliament in 2016. We — as the Left-Green party — recognize that there is a strong majority in Iceland in support of our NATO membership, but we don't favour for instance the idea of a permanent military presence here in Iceland" (Breum: 2nd November 2018).
This position by a leading Icelandic politician should be welcomed by those who seek to limit the peripheral area of Atlanticist hegemony. Furthermore, if the pacifist position of the Left-Green Movement could gain more followers among the population and help sway the other political parties towards neutrality it is likely that Iceland could become the "Switzerland of the North" and function as a Nordic buffer zone between "Western Atlanticism" and "Eurasian Continentalism".
Breum, Martin. "Iceland is key to NATO – but Iceland's prime minister worries about militarization in the North Atlantic" Arctic Today. Arctic Today, 2nd November 2018. Web. Nov 3, 2018. https://www.arctictoday.com/iceland-key-nato-icelands-prime-minister-worries-militarization-north-atlantic/
