WHICH THANKSGIVING FOOD IS GOOD FOR DOGS TO EAT?
Each Thanksgiving, I cringe upon reading articles written by “pet experts” and veterinarians striving to convince pet owners to not share holiday foods for fear of creating illness in their canine or feline companions. This mindset reinforces the tendency for owners to solely rely on commercially-available, highly processed pet foods that differ vastly from the way food appears in nature. However, there are many foods served at Thanksgiving feasts that pet owners can and should share with their pets.
Yes, turkey is safe for both cats and dogs to eat. It’s a food source I often recommend for my patients, as it’s less commonly used in commercially available diets than other fowl like chicken. In my training of Chinese medicine food energy, it is believed that turkey is a cooling protein source for animals with an excess of Yang (heating) energy such as cancer, immune-mediated disease (allergies, “autoimmune” diseases) and infections (bacteria, yeast).
Of course, providing turkey to our pets in an appropriately-sized portion is key. Only offer small amounts of white turkey meat lacking skin, which is 38 calories per ounce. Never give turkey bones to your canine or feline companion, because the cooked bones can splinter, causing irritation to the stomach and intestines. Turkey bones can contribute to vomit, diarrhea, pancreatitis and other digestive tract problems.
Yes, cats and dogs can both have mashed or sweet potatoes. However, Thanksgiving potato dishes are often prepared with butter, cream, sugar, nuts, raisins or other additives that could cause digestive problems for your pet.
My top recommendation is to provide small volumes of cooked sweet potato without the skin or any additives. Sweet potato, boiled and without the skin contains 22 calories per ounce—medium-sized sweet potato is about 5.3 ounces—and is rich in fiber and antioxidants like beta carotene.Potato, boiled and without skin (i.e., white, Russet potato), contains more calories than sweet potato at 26 calories per ounce.
Cats and dogs can both enjoy small bits of bread rolls at Thanksgiving. Bread chunks can even be used to disguise medications or supplements, and make the process of administering such treatments more tolerable to the patient and owner. The bread itself should not be coated with butter, oil or spices. Even though your canine or feline companion can eat bread rolls, my top recommendation is to focus on vegetables or meat, instead of bread and other carbohydrates, when offering your pet Thanksgiving foods.
Yes, cats can eat corn kernels. But cats are obligate carnivores, meaning they must eat meat in order to thrive. Corn as a significant portion of a cat’s meal isn’t appropriate based on its biological needs. My suggestion is to give your cat only cooked corn, as raw corn can harbor bacteria, molds or parasites that could lead to health problems. I also recommend that no more than one tablespoon of kernels removed from the cob be given to your feline companion.
Many cats and dogs eat canned or freshly cooked pumpkin as a fiber source as it can reduce colonic inflammation associated with diarrhea, help firm up soft stools and even provide greater stool bulk to benefit constipation. But pumpkin pie isn’t a dessert made exclusively of pure vegetable matter. It also has sugar, cream or milk, spices, flour, butter or lard. Other ingredients in the filling or crust could cause digestive tract upset in both cats and dogs, so even though pumpkin itself is good for your pet, pumpkin pie isn’t.
My top recommendation is to stick to the non-dessert form of pumpkin (canned or freshly cooked) when offering a Thanksgiving day treat to your canine or feline companion. Canned, unsalted pumpkin has 10 calories per ounce, contains nearly three grams of fiber per eight ounce (one cup) serving, and can help with canine and feline constipation and diarrhea.
Some drugs commonly given dogs have serious side effects. One group of drugs called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID for short) is one of those drugs.
Last week a new client complained that her last veterinarian had been “drug-happy”-in fact, she’d “divorced” him over the issue. As prime example of his pill-popping profligacy, she explained that he’d insisted on putting both her dogs on a popular NSAID.
In case you’re not familiar with them, NSAIDs comprise the most popular class of drugs prescribed for pain in both humans and dogs. You probably know two of the most common NSAIDs, aspirin and ibuprofen, and might even know others. But the human versions of these drugs aren’t always safe for use in dogs at doses sufficient for relieving pain. That’s why veterinary science worked to develop several canine versions almost two decades ago.
Since then, these drugs have been the recipient of accolades and acrimony alike. It seems like nothing good can come without something bad…especially nothing new. Canine NSAIDs, as relative newcomers, have received an outsized share of criticism relative to older, stronger, and even more side effect-ridden drugs.
Well, that explains why my new client’s last vet was getting flak for being so fast and loose with these meds. It also explains why there’s so much scary information on the Web about drugs like Rimadyl® (carprofen), Metacam® (meloxicam), piroxicam, Deramaxx®, and Etogesic® (etodolac), among many others.
Now, I understand where these owners are coming from. Really, I do. Safely prescribing medication requires a careful hand. But here’s the thing: All medications have side effects, just like all pain relievers have side effects. So why should NSAIDs get any special attention?
Don’t get me wrong: I’m not saying these drugs are 100% safe. But they are too crucial for too many of our pets’ comfort to discount their use just because there’s a possibility that a problem will ensue.
Pets are living much longer these days, dogs in particular. And it’s not always the result of fancier surgeries, improved cancer care, and better nutrition. I can honestly say from my experience that pain-relieving NSAIDs have made the most significant dent in my canine patients’ quality of life and longevity by far.
Of course, these drugs come with warnings you should know about, ones which veterinarians have a moral and ethical duty to divulge in detail. This is necessary not just because you, the human and caretaker, have a right to make a thoughtful decision for your pets, but also because knowing the risks and side effects means you can minimize them.
Indeed, pet owners who are NOT prepared to identify side effects and intervene if necessary are those whose pets usually suffer the greatest consequences from using these drugs. In fact, I’ve never known even one of my patients to have suffered a severe reaction to any NSAID. All reactions have been minor and the drug was discontinued, changed, or reduced in dosage so that pets could achieve an appropriate safety profile and comfort level: a win-win.
That’s great, right? But do YOU know the basic facts about NSAIDs?
Side effects of NSAID primarily include vomiting, regurgitation, diarrhea, lethargy, poor appetite, and evidence of nausea (licking the lips and/or salivating).
Dark, tarry stools, overtly bloody stools, bloody vomitus, and vomitus with coffee ground-like material in it are all evidence of more severe gastritis and/or enteritis. Worst case scenarios here can include severe bleeding ulcers, though these almost always have early warning signs to help you prevent them.
Are There Really Hypoallergenic Dogs and Hypoallergenic Cats?
While we all believe that some dogs, e.g. poodles, don’t produce antigens to stimulate our allergies, let’s read this and find out what’s going on.
Day after day, allergy-suffering animal loverscomb breed descriptions in search of their Holy Grail: a hypoallergenic dog or cat — one that doesn’t produce sniffling, sneezing, wheezing, itchy eyes, skin reactions or an asthma attack.
But what about breeds created to be hypoallergenic, such as Labradoodles, Goldendoodles and other Poodlemixes? They were bred with the idea that the Poodle’s curly (and supposedly hypoallergenic) coat would diminish the likelihood that they would cause allergies. Like any other animal, however, they vary in the amount of dander and allergen they produce. Reputable breeders don’t guarantee their animals will be hypoallergenic.
If you’re allergic but still want to add a pet to your family, these tips can help you find one that may be less likely to leave you sniffling, sneezing and wheezing.
Do a test run. To find out if a particular breed or hybrid sends your allergies into overdrive, Dr. Miller recommends visiting someone who has only that breed in his or her home and see if your symptoms flare. “If they don’t, that doesn’t mean that breed is OK for you, but it increases the likelihood that you might be able to live in harmony with that [type of] dog,” he says.
Look for certain features. Smaller animals and those that shed less tend to spread fewer allergens in their wake. But someone who is sensitive to a particular allergen may still react to it.
Watch out for lickers. “If you’re allergic to dog saliva and the dog is a licker, you’re likely to have issues with him,” Dr. Miller says.
Consider gender. If you have a mild allergy to cats but still want to adopt one, gender may be something to factor in when making your choice. Male cats, especially those who are not neutered, make more allergens than females.
How allergy sufferers respond to allergens varies, but a few simple strategies can help ease the burden. Many people find that taking medications or getting allergy shots helps them better tolerate the presence of animals. Also smart: having your pet groomed frequently, either by a professional or someone in the household who doesn’t have allergies.
One caveat from Dr. Miller: If your pet allergies cause asthma attacks, which can be dangerous, you’re better off not trying to live with a dog or cat.
Though it’s true that no animal is truly allergen free, there are breeds or hybrids that may be less likely to stir up sensitivities because of their type of coat or the amount of allergens they produce. Here are hypoallergenic dogs and hyperallergenic cats.
Dogs: Bedlington Terrier, Bichon Frise, Chinese Crested, Coton de Tulear, Goldendoodle, Irish Water Spaniel, Italian Greyhound, Labradoodle, Maltese, Maltipoo, Miniature Schnauzer, Toy or Miniature Poodle, Poochon, Portuguese Water Dog, Shih Tzu, Silky Terrier, Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier, Yorkshire Terrier, or a Toy or Miniature Xoloitzcuintli.
Cats: Balinese, Bengal, Cornish Rex, Devon Rex, Javanese, LaPerm, Oriental Shorthair, Russian Blue,Siberian and Sphynx.
Here at PawNation, we have an overwhelming amount of love for dogs of all shapes and sizes, whether we know them or not. We want to shower them with attention and become best friends. However, we understand that there is a protocol to follow when meeting and greeting new dogs, and we want you to know it too. Keep reading to learn how to properly say hello to a dog and its owner while out and about.
Many people get excited when they see dogs and beeline right for them. However, you should always approach the canine’s owner before interacting with their dog. Ask permission before petting a dog, because you don’t know if it’s friendly or not. If they say no, respect that. The canine could be skittish around strangers and may lash out. The owner could be thinking of your own safety, so don’t get offended.
If you’re greeting a dog, either squat down to its level or stand straight. Squatting down puts you on the dog’s level, making it equal footing between both of you. Standing straight is the alpha position, but don’t stay in between the two and hover over the dog. This is a threatening position to canines and could lead to aggressive behavior.
Many of us go right for the head when we pet a dog, but that’s one thing you should be avoiding when greeting a strange dog. Reaching over the top of a dog’s head is intimidating and makes a dog feel uneasy. Instead, give a soft rub under the chin, the cheek or even the chest.
We know it’s tempting to stare deeply into those adorable puppy dog eyes, but try your best not to do it. Dogs view eye contact as a challenge and could become aggressive, so avoid doing it with a canine that you just met. You should look either at the owner or a neutral part of the dog’s body, like the chest or shoulders.
So you’ve successfully gained the dog’s attention and are lavishing it with scratches and rubs. That doesn’t mean you should be shoving your face in front of the dog’s face. Again, keep in mind that you’re a stranger to this dog. You wouldn’t be standing uncomfortably close to someone you just met with your face abnormally close to theirs, so don’t do it to an unfamiliar dog either. The canine could feel threatened by you invading its spaceand may lash out. Keep yourself safe by keeping your distance.
Is There Diabetes in Dogs?
Type I diabetes, known as diabetes mellitus, is the most common type of diabetes in dogs, but it can be prevented through diet and exercise.
Can dogs get diabetes? The simple answer is yes, they can. While the two are not conclusively linked, the surge in canine obesity corresponds to the rise in incidence of canine diabetes. Though there are two forms of diabetes — commonly known as sugar diabetes (diabetes mellitus) and water diabetes (diabetes insipidus) — and the first is by far the most frequently diagnosed in dogs.
Diabetes mellitus tends to affect dogs later in life, typically between the ages of six and nine, but the rate of incidence seems to be higher in female dogs. While there can be a genetic component, in the vast majority of cases, diabetes mellitus in dogs can be prevented through a combination of diet and exercise. Diabetes in dogs cannot be cured, but diagnosed early, diabetes can be managed in the same ways as in humans: through a modified diet, exercise, and insulin injections.
There are two major forms of diabetes in dogs, known colloquially by their identifiable sources, to wit, sugar and water. Since diabetes mellitus, or sugar diabetes, is by far the more common, that’s what we’ll focus on here. Put simply, diabetes mellitus in dogs is a condition in which a dog is unable to convert his food into the energy he needs.
In a bit more detail, dogs develop diabetes mellitus when the pancreas produces insufficient amounts of insulin. Insulin helps to convert proteins in dog food into glucose. Glucose is a sugar that provides energy to all parts of a dog’s body. When a dog has diabetes mellitus, the excess sugar is voided in the urine. Over time, dogs with diabetes can experience vision loss and an increase in kidney problems. Fortunately, diabetes mellitus in dogs can be both prevented and managed.
The rarer form of canine diabetes, known as water diabetes or diabetes insipidus, is usually related to the brain, kidneys, or a failure of communication between them. In dogs, diabetes insipidus arises from a dog’s inability to retain water and is usually caused by head trauma or by faults in the pituitary gland or in the kidneys.
Changes in appetite and frequency of urination are the primary symptoms of both sugar and water diabetes in dogs. Food plays a major role in canine diabetes. Because the dog’s pancreas is not producing enough insulin, the brain is tricked into thinking that the dog is starving. Thus, a diabetic dog may overcompensate by eating more or by being hungry more often.
Hyperglycemia in dogs, or the excess in blood sugar levels, means that a dog with diabetes will also urinate much more frequently. Just as insufficient energy drives a dog to eat more, increased urination also leads to increased thirst. Along with appetite changes and frequent urination, dogs with diabetes will experience decreased energy as the condition progresses.
Left untreated, diabetes in dogs can lead to widespread system failures, with the eyes and kidneys being the first victims. Dogs with diabetes are at increased risk for developing cataracts in the eyes and eventually blindness. Over time, the failure to filter blood sugar may lead to enlarged kidneys and urinary tract infections.
While there is no conclusive link, dogs who are overweight or obese tend to be diagnosed with diabetes more frequently than those who adhere to a disciplined diet and regular exercise. When symptoms of diabetes in dogs appear, a veterinarian can diagnose the condition in two primary ways: through blood tests and urinalysis. In pronounced cases, levels of sugar in the blood and urine will be noticeably higher.
Can diabetes in dogs be reversed?
Once diagnosed, diabetes in dogs cannot be cured, but it can be managed in the same ways as it is in humans. For dogs, these diabetes management strategies, under the supervision of a veterinarian, include a modified diet, regular exercise, and insulin injections. Dogs diagnosed with diabetes will require strict treatment for the remainder of their lives.
Some dog breeds seem to experience a higher rate of developing diabetes than others. Breeds believed to be genetically predisposed to canine diabetes include the Beagle, Bichon Frise, Dachshund, German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, Keeshond, Miniature Pinscher, Schnauzer (Standard and Miniature), Poodle, Puli, Samoyed, Spitz, and certain Terrier breeds (Australian, Cairn, and Fox). Genetic predisposition is only an increased likelihood, not an eventuality.
In dogs that are not genetically predisposed, preventing diabetes is a simpler process than treatment. A regular, well-portioned diet along with regular, if not daily, exercise are key to preventing the development of diabetes in dogs. Avoid giving your dog table scraps, especially around the fall holidays.
A lifetime of an unbalanced diet and insufficient exercise can lead to overtaxed kidneys andpancreatitis, both of which have been causally linked to diabetes mellitus in dogs. Diabetes in dogs is not a rapid onset condition, but the culmination of a process as a dog reaches middle and old age. Over the course of your dog’s life, a veterinarian can help you determine appropriate meal portion sizes tailored to your dog’s breed or mix; size; and age.
Do you live with a diabetic dog?
Among dogs, regardless of breed, females are at higher risk for diabetes, especially as they age. Spaying female dogs can reduce the risk that hormones released during the estrous cycle do not interfere with insulin production.

Monsoons can be fatal for the Indian roads---more so in MMR (Mumbai Metropolitan Region) administered by the MMRDA (Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority), an urban conglomeration of eight municipal corporations, nine municipal councils and 1000 villages according to their website, covering a large geography of 4, 355 sq. km, adjoining the financial hub of Mumbai.The boom in the central and western suburbs in last one decade has been phenomenal as the people working in Mumbai or New Mumbai seek homes and ancillary facilities in less-pricey peripheral towns covered under the umbrella body of MMRDA. However, the market hype does not match the ground zero in the MMR, a sad fact that can be a negative in the large-term development of the territory being planned as independent and integrated urban spaces for smart investors. The worst is witnessed during four months of the rains along the coastal belt of Mumbai.
The rains batter and leave the infra in shambles in and around Mumbai. And people are complaining. “It is highly regrettable. The growth of the area is not as per the promises of the urban bodies and MMRDA and the mismatch between promised facilities and daily experiences of the consumers can be a turn off in the long run for both the realtors and buyers in this huge area. Infra is real bad across the suburbs, more so in monsoons. It takes more than an hour to reach Kalyan from Thane during the rains, a journey of hardly 45 minutes otherwise.Road craters, long jams and accidents are common on highways and internal city roads here in MMR. The overall costs of commuting by roads is enormous for the middle-class residents of the region, once touted as the best planned area of the world,” says Bharat Malik, one of the prominent realtors of the MMR. Another important realtor Vinod Mishra believes that lot of mess is due to lack of coordination among the urban bodies and an overseeing agency tasked with the overall monitoring of the costly infra projects, “The main problem is that there is no centralized authority to oversee the development of such a vast territory.
Despite efforts, the local PWD authorities could not be reached for their comments.
Hope Central ministries of urban development and surface transport are listening!

We’ve had a busy month here at Voxbone. Our team jetted off to Orlando, Florida for Enterprise Connect 2019, where we announced our tailored enterprise-grade platform and upped our selfie game.
Something we were keen to talk about at the event is just how easily our voice and messaging services can be used with other cloud communications platforms. As the leading Communications-as-a-Service (CaaS) provider, our approach is to be application agnostic.
If you already have an existing cloud communications platform in place, why do you still need Voxbone in your life? The answer is simple really and it’s a good one.
By running our voice services through your existing UCaaS or CPaaS solution, you can improve your company’s access to the PSTN by extending your reach into more markets and optimize your call routing with a few lines of code, as well as enjoying superior voice quality on the industry’s leading network.
You can also save money by unbundling your comms infrastructure from your platform and getting it straight from the source. Global access to the PSTN is delivered via SIP trunks and cloud communications platforms will bundle this SIP connectivity as part of the service charge. But research from Nemertes highlights how plugging in SIP trunks from a CaaS provider can significantly reduce PSTN access and operational costs. In fact, bringing your own cloud SIP trunks to your Unified Communications platform can reduce your OpEx by as much as 63%.
And when it comes to choosing a CaaS provider, there’s no better bet than the one that provides the underlying infrastructure for most of the leading cloud comms platforms anyway! (That’s Voxbone, by the way).
These benefits are a two-way street. We want our customers to build your best business communications – and sometimes that means they will need features and functionality that we don’t provide.
By ensuring our services are application-agnostic, we make it easy for you to run any SIP-enabled app or service over our network. As a case in point, let’s look at Voximplant’s SmartCalls, which gives businesses the power to automate the creation of AI-powered call processes.
In no time at all, our customers can integrate with the SmartCalls platform to set up smart and flexible outbound call campaigns on their Voxbone numbers. We provide the class-leading voice infrastructure, the fully compliant connectivity and the global scale across 65+ markets. SmartCalls, or whoever else for that matter, provides the value-added services to meet your specific use case requirements.
After doing the rounds in the UK telecoms circuit, Mehmet joined Voxbone in 2019 as a Senior Solutions Architect. He has worked on designing and delivering numerous large and medium-sized unified communication and contact center projects.

text: Tracking the 6DoF pose of arbitrary 3D objects is a fundamental topic in Augmented Reality (AR) research, having received a large amount of interest in the last decades. The necessity of accurate and computationally efficient object tracking is evident for a broad base of today’s AR applications. In this work we present a fully comprehensive pipeline for 6DoF Object Tracking based on 3D scans of objects, covering object registration, initialization and frame to frame tracking, implemented to optimize the user experience and to perform well in all typical challenging conditions such as fast motion, occlusions and illumination changes. Furthermore, we present the deployment of our tracking system in a Remote Live Support AR application with 3D object-aware registration of annotations and remote execution for delay and performance optimization. Experimental results demonstrate the tracking quality, real-time capability and the advantages of remote execution for computationally less powerful mobile devices.

The African Development Bank (AfDB) says most of its Zimfund projects are almost complete and commissioning is set for end of this month.
Most of the projects being undertaken by AfDB under the Zimfund projects are in water and sanitation.
In an interview with the ZBC News on the sidelines of phase two of the projects, Zimfund Manager, Mr Emmanuel Nzabanita said most of the projects are now waiting commissioning while others are 99 percent complete.
Engineer Herbert Nyakutsikwa, who is responsible for water and sanitation, said they have so far replaced a 5km sewage system in Dzivaresekwa, Kuwadzana and Mufakose which is almost complete and is set to easy the issue of burst sewage pipes in these areas.
“This will avert the problem of sewage disposal in our water bodies,” he said.
The Zimfund projects started in 2014 with a view to complement efforts by the City of Harare to address water and sanitation challenges in the capital.

User's story 9: Water treatment system | IBE TECHNO CO.,LTD.
It was 10 years ago that "Sakado Azuma Kindergarten" installed large sized π-water filter machine.
"Tap water contains chlorine. Chlorine destroys vitamins you take in. We want to give children good things for their healthy growth. So we decided to change the water which is indispensable for keeping health. Therefore we chose π-water," the director of the kindergarten Etsuko Suzuki explains.
Then they looked for good water for the children and finally they came to know π-water. You can get π-water from every tap in the kindergarten so many parents bring the water back to their home every day.
We are paying the very careful attention to the quality of the treated water. We check the water five times per year to keep the quality. We are glad to hear that some graduated children from our kindergarten say that the water here tastes really good. They know it when they compare the water available in their elementary schools.
The Sakado Azuma Kindergarten is focusing on "education of eating". Children sow a field with vegetable seed, harvest in each season, and eat the crops by their own cooking. Through their eating the crops they raise, they know the nature, think of the farmers, and feel the linkage of human being and environment. To know the water, which is the origin of the all lives, is a part of the education.
They are proud of supplying the safe and good water for the children in the kindergarten.
The kindergarten has two Japanese bantams. Etsuko Suzuki, the director is mostly taken to by them.
Children will learn the importance of foods. It was 37 years ago Sakado Azuma Kindergarten opened. The philosophy is "Cultivate the independence and the consideration for others." They wish the children to take care of themselves and to think of the others.
They have visited LINX, a resort facility which installed π-water system for the whole institution, many times before their introduction of π-water filtering system. The lavatory is always kept clean and no bad smells at all.

Great premium is placed on language in our literary culture today. Is it fresh? Is it witty? Does it dazzle? The question I wish reviewers and publishers would ask about language is “Is it true?” We need writers who name the vast diversities of our reality with language that illuminates rather than obscures.
Woolf’s image of a knotted net is an accurate description of birds rising and returning to a tree. The comparison aids the reader; we see more clearly because of it. Both the image (quite ordinary) and the language (quite simple) help the reader experience this moment. Nothing in this passage calls attention to the language or the author.
She was stretched on her back beneath the pear tree soaking in the alto chant of the visiting bees, the gold of the sun and the panting breath of the breeze when the inaudible voice came to her. She saw a dust-bearing bee sink into the sanctum of a bloom; the thousand sister-calyxes arch to meet the love embrace and the ecstatic shiver of the tree from root to tiniest branch creaming in every blossom and frothing with delight. So this was marriage! She had been summoned to behold a revelation. Then Janie felt a pain remorseless sweet that left her limp and languid.
Here’s a passage where language does call attention to itself, but not for the sake of the author’s self-aggrandizement. Rather the extreme word choices here—“panting breath,” “sanctum of a bloom,” “love embrace and the ecstatic shiver of the tree,” “a pain remorseless sweet”—help us understand Janie’s teenage point of view. Janie knows extremes of passion that are inconsistent with the dull prospects of the rest of her life. Inhabiting her perspective is intense, ecstatic, and memorable.
The truth revealed in these passages is dual. First, these authors name their physical reality accurately and beautifully. They represent the “facts” on the page in a manner that is fresh but also accountable to real human experience. Second, they choose details that point through physical reality to some emotional, spiritual, relational, or psychological truth—the inner story.
It began to seem that one would have to hold in the mind forever two ideas which seemed to be in opposition. The first idea was acceptance, the acceptance, totally without rancor, of life as it is, and men as they are: in the light of this idea, it goes without saying that injustice is a commonplace. But this did not mean that one could be complacent, for the second idea was of equal power: that one must never, in one’s own life, accept these injustices as commonplace but must fight them with all one’s strength.
Even abstract words, placed well and applied intelligently, can make beautiful prose. Note how Baldwin’s repetitions ring like bells. Note how, despite the complexity of these sentences’ construction and the paradoxical nature of the ideas he’s conveying, his words are quite plain. Above all, he wants to communicate. The integrity of his language extends naturally frm the integrity with which he explores his struggles with racism.
The authors I respect most choose their words with integrity. They do not seek to impress; they seek to discover, to uncover, to name what is. Fresh words serve the story.
In early drafts, write quickly and plainly. As best as you can, use your natural language. Because you are a unique person with an inherently fresh voice, your language will be fresh if you show up on the page.
Throughout revisions, return to a journal to reflect on your work. Writing for no audience eliminates strain and self-consciousness from language.
When clichés appear, take note. Keep going if you’re writing an early draft, but later return to these passages and ask yourself what this easy language is covering up. Clichés usually show us places we’ve taken on others’ explanations of the world rather than inventing our own. They always point to shallowness in our thinking—an acceptable naming of reality rather than a naming that digs.
Strive to serve the story and not some sense of writerly writing. Choose words that reveal, not conceal. Use the thesaurus to find accurate words, not fancy ones.
Use the dictionary. Whenever you are uncertain about a word’s meaning or its implications, look it up.

the truth revealed in these passages is dual. first, these authors name their physical reality accurately and beautifully. they represent the “facts” on the page in a manner that is fresh but also accountable to real human experience. second, they choose details that point through physical reality to some emotional, spiritual, relational, or psychological truth—the inner story.
it began to seem that one would have to hold in the mind forever two ideas which seemed to be in opposition. the first idea was acceptance, the acceptance, totally without rancor, of life as it is, and men as they are: in the light of this idea, it goes without saying that injustice is a commonplace. but this did not mean that one could be complacent, for the second idea was of equal power: that one must never, in one’s own life, accept these injustices as commonplace but must fight them with all one’s strength.
even abstract words, placed well and applied intelligently, can make beautiful prose. note how baldwin’s repetitions ring like bells. note how, despite the complexity of these sentences’ construction and the paradoxical nature of the ideas he’s conveying, his words are quite plain. above all, he wants to communicate. the integrity of his language extends naturally frm the integrity with which he explores his struggles with racism.
the authors i respect most choose their words with integrity. they do not seek to impress; they seek to discover, to uncover, to name what is. fresh words serve the story.
in early drafts, write quickly and plainly. as best as you can, use your natural language. because you are a unique person with an inherently fresh voice, your language will be fresh if you show up on the page.
throughout revisions, return to a journal to reflect on your work. writing for no audience eliminates strain and self-consciousness from language.
when clichés appear, take note. keep going if you’re writing an early draft, but later return to these passages and ask yourself what this easy language is covering up. clichés usually show us places we’ve taken on others’ explanations of the world rather than inventing our own. they always point to shallowness in our thinking—an acceptable naming of reality rather than a naming that digs.
strive to serve the story and not some sense of writerly writing. choose words that reveal, not conceal. use the thesaurus to find accurate words, not fancy ones.
use the dictionary. whenever you are uncertain about a word’s meaning or its implications, look it up.

24 Signs You Are the Laziest Person in Your Friends' Circle!
“Doing nothing is better than being busy doing nothing” is the Zen way to go. Why follow the crowd who pretend to be busy, when they’re actually not doing anything? When others call you lazy, just throw this at them. And if you have any acceptance issues, this list should help you embrace your true self. Here are some signs that you are the laziest person in your friends' circle.
1. You’re never the one to make plans to go out and party.
2. Why cook food when you can order it?
3. Your friends don’t expect you to ever show up for any scene on time.
4. You’re a pro at delegating work so that you never do anything yourself!
5. During the day, sleep is your best activity.
6. You prefer other people feeding you. Feeding yourself is quite stressful!
7. Contemplating whether you should get off the couch and take a shower is a common occurrence. The couch always wins!
8. Your mother constantly complains about how you keep asking her to make chai or coffee or sandwiches or French fries!
9. Internet shopping is God’s gift to YOU.
10. You will drive around forever to get a parking spot that is as close to the entrance as possible. Who wants to walk that much?!
11. Winter is when you hibernate, because who is going to actually make the effort of getting out of bed, putting on layers of clothing or attending college classes?
12. You’d rather watch the same, boring channel forever instead of getting up and finding the remote.
13. You often scream for your mom/ roommate to get up from whatever they are doing and come and switch on the fan for you.
14. You never take notes in class and depend on the photocopies you make of other’s notebooks.
15. People never ask you to organize a friend’s birthday party because they worry that it won't get done.
16. You strongly believe that driving is cool, but having your own driver to take you around town is even cooler!
17. Instead of personally wishing your friends on their birthday, you’d rather send your love via Facebook.
18. Your feet have become super-dextrous because it’s so much easier to pick things up with your toes rather than bending down or changing your position.
19. The last time you played an outdoor sport was virtually on your Xbox/ Wii.
20. You don’t have a Voter ID card because you were too lazy to go get your photo clicked at the booth.
21. Sweatpants and PJs are what you call "fashionable" because dressing up is such an effort!
22. You can often be found taking a relaxing nap after a tiring meal or bath!
23. You don’t throw parties, you only attend them. Maybe. If you feel like it.
24. You’ve trained your dog to "fetch" stuff you need!

text: It is natural for a parent to worry about their kids. We base that worry on our own experiences and what we have learned from others. However, it is important to remember that our children may not have the same experiences. When we base our protection and guidance on our fears we are perpetuating those fears. Instead of projecting fear onto our children, we should discuss our experiences. They may choose the same path as us, but maybe they will find a new approach. They might even help us face our fears and break the cycle.

Category: Warning ... Do not call a cup the Sea; do not call mad the sage of Love. Do not inflate your experience: Honor the true wisdom.
Category explanation from the book: "One of the essential features of a real seeker's life is to start humbly listening to the warnings--inner and outer--that the universe will always be trying to give to him or her. This takes true discrimination, what Jesus called "the wisdom of the Serpent," detachment from our own plans, and a constant willingness to listen to the often quiet and obvious instructions of the Divine."
How interesting this is to overlay the audio over these scenes. I love the line "Who says words with my mouth?"
Life is a kind of intoxication of the soul.

Hello, More advice required please !
I have just bought one of the above and have been attempting to 'bottom' the controls.
Ps the controls I have used are as follows. Three quick presses on the controller but put you in magnification which then is raised or lowered by turning the controller knob. The in-screen display says 2.0 max and I cannot find a further zoom control or extra magnification - so I'm a bit afraid it will have to go back and be replaced with an Armasight Drone Pro.
Be grateful for any help as it going back tomorrow. Shop I bought it from is my local shop which isnt familiar with the digi-sight spec. P.S. I checked these out at the British shooting show and didnt absolutely check the mag - just took the literature at face value.
Thanks for that but how does one access the 4.5 optical magnification?
I set it up as advised, using the front right 'focus' knob and then used the eyepiece ring to focus properly (as suggested at 100m) and then its just the digital zoom - or am I missing something ?
I cant find a zoom on the menu on M1 M2or M3 but perhaps you can advise ?
Thanks for the help - as you suggest then its clear that 2.0 mag = 9.0 times magnification - if the blurb one gets as a buyer was as simple to understand as that, it would help. The image is very good and clear and with my nightmaster 800 all will be revealed ! Thanks again.
