Rosetownby Cynthia Rylant
Told over the course of one year, Rosetown is the story of nine-year-old Flora Smallwood who lives in fictional Rosetown, Indiana. For a young girl that does not like change, Nora is having to learn to make adjustments. Her beloved dog recently passed away, and her parents have separated. Fourth grade is also more difficult than third grade. While Flora is not eager to embrace change, she finds comfort spending time with her best friend, Nessy, who she has known since she was five and her new friend, Yurie, who recently moved to Rosetown from the Ukraine.
Reading Rosetown was nostalgic for me. Like Nora, I loved to read as a child. Nora frequents Wings and a Chair Used Books where her mother works part-time. My mother took my brother and me to Middle River Public Library weekly where Mrs. Johnson always had a stack of books waiting for me. I also took piano lessons and just like Nora, I was tolerable but it never developed into a true passion. One of my favorite parts of Rosetown was Nora sharing her excitement for Encyclopedia Hour. Once a week, Nora and her classmates had the opportunity to explore the 22 volumes of the World Book Encyclopedia. Encyclopedias were my internet. If I needed to do research and just wanted to discover facts, I always reached for an encyclopedia. We actually had a set of Rand McNally Encyclopedias at home, but nothing compared to the full color World Book!
Rosetown is a quiet and comforting read which takes a reader back to a simpler time. Thanks to Simon and Schuster for providing an ARC of Rosetown to my #bookexcursion group. Rosetown recently published on May 8, 2018.
Right Now by Jessica Olien
Right Now is an affirming picture book that celebrates being present. The book begins with "You are right now. What are you?" On each page, Olien shares a vivid and colorful digital illustration of a child caught in a "moment." Sometimes the moments are happy whether it be laying in the grass with a pet, belly laughing, riding a tricycle or eating a piece of cake. Sad moments are also depicted such as making a mistake, feeling lonely or upset. At the end of the book, Olien shares a tender message to young readers. "No matter what you do. Not matter where you live. Or what you look like. You are you. And that is perfect." A perfect book to share with students for #classroombookaday to teach them about self-acceptance.
Etta's and Bella's Dog Pick of the Week:
Help Find Frank by Anne Bollman
Oh no! A french bulldog named Frank is lost! Can you help in the search to find him? Labeled as exhibits, the narrator offers key information about Frank such as his love for playing fetch, his favorite animal is a squirrel, and beware of his stinky toots so under no circumstances, feed him cheese. Pay close attention to these facts, for they will be crucial to locating Frank. Interviews follow with notes that provides more clues and the reader is asked to make inferences based on some of the previously shared exhibits. Embedded within the story are double page spreads of the park, the baseball field, and the pool where the reader is asked to find objects and of course, finally Frank!
Author illustrator Anne Bollman's highly interactive picture book is quite original. As a teacher, I love that young readers will have to use text evidence from exhibits, interviews, and hints to locate Frank. The seek and find maps provide an opportunity to revisit the book again for a different purpose. As summer approaches, I can see Help Me Find Frank as a great book to engage young readers in the car during travel or inside when it's too hot outside to play.

Happy Book Birthday to My Magic Breath: Finding Calm Through Mindful Breathing
My Magic Breath: Finding Calm Through Mindful Breathing by Nick Ortner and Alison Taylor Illustrated by Michelle Polizzi
Disclaimer: I was provided a copy of this book to review by the publisher in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.
My Magic Breath; Finding Calm Through Mindful Breathing teaches children about breathing strategies to help combat negativity. Magic breath is special because taking deep breaths can help children handle worried, nervous or sad thoughts. The book continues by asking children to focus on things that make them smile and use their magic breath to blow out those happy thoughts directly on the page. The new page reveals an almost full spread of colorful bright waves which evokes a sense of calm. My Magic Breath continues to ask children to use breathing and a focus on happy thoughts to help combat sad ones. Blue waves appear on the next page but are gradually blown away as children breathe deeply. The sad blue waves are replaced with vivid and vibrant ones. At the end of the book, children are reminded to use their magic breath to not only help them through difficult moments but also to appreciate happy times!
I sponsor a second grade class for #classroombookaday. Each day, I read a picture book aloud and ask students "What is the author trying to teach us?" After reading My Magic Breath, one student shared that the book can help kids visualize good things so that they will stop thinking about bad things. Another student also made a connection to a previous read aloud, Jabari Jumps by Gaia Cornwall. In the story, Jabari is having second thoughts about jumping off the diving board. Jabari's father tells him when he is scared, he takes a deep breath to help him get ready. The student went on to say that deep breaths can help calm you down when you are nervous.
From New York Times bestselling author Nick Ortner comes a beautiful picture book that will help children discover calm through the magic of mindful breathing:
Do YOU have the magic breath?
Let's see…Take a deeeeeep breath in…and BLOW it out…
…and like magic, you can feel better just by breathing! Sometimes it's hard to feel happy. But with this interactive picture book, children breathe along as they learn how to make angry or sad thoughts disappear.
In a world that is sometimes too busy, with too many things going on, My Magic Breath will help steer children into a serene space of mindfulness, self-awareness, and balance.

The Frame-Up by Wendy McLeod MacKnight
The Frame Up is a fast paced, intriguing mystery adventure set in the real life Beaverbrook Art Gallery located in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada. In this fictional story, Beaverbrook is not your ordinary art gallery because all the paintings are actually alive. Once the gallery is closed, all the "residents" interact with each other. Painted in 1915, Mona Dunn is a 100 year old painting but she is perpetually a thirteen-year-old who loves to visit the beach in the San Vigilio, Lake Garda painting and hang out with her partner in crime, Clem Cotterell who lives in a portrait with his family.
Mona knows that the most important rule of the gallery is don't let the humans know that the paintings are alive. One day Mona accidentally breaks that rule and reveals the gallery's secret to Sargent Singer, the son of the gallery director. Sargent who is visiting his estranged father for the summer promises Mona that he won't divulge this incredible secret, and the two become fast friends. Their friendship becomes crucial when Mona discovers a plot to steal paintings and replace them with reproductions. Can Mona and Sargent stop the heist before it's too late?
I enjoyed The Frame Up from start to finish! Wendy McLeod MacKnight has written a fascinating middle grade mystery weaving elements of both the past and the present. While living in the present, Mona and the residents give you a glimpse of life long ago. Because they are alive, the "residents" are aware of modern amenities such as movies, popular music, and even the internet. The mystery involving the art heist kept me guessing until almost the very end. Sargent's distant relationship with his father also affected me because I know some readers may identify with his struggle to connect with a parent.
Special thanks to Wendy McLeod MacKnight for sending an ARC of The Frame-Up to my #bookexcursion group. The Frame-Up releases on June 5, 2018, which will include full color glossy pictures of all the paintings highlighted in the novel. Since a visit to Beaverbrook is not possible right now, I can't wait for my hardcover copy to arrive!
Fox & Chick: The Party and Other Stories by Sergio Ruzzier
Fox and Chick remind me of the iconic Frog and Toad, two friends who don't always see eye to eye. This early chapter book includes three stories. In The Party, Chick interrupts Fox's reading asking to use his bathroom but not for the reason one would expect. In Good Soup, as Fox is gathering vegetables, Chick questions his food choices until he mentions that foxes are supposed to eat little birds. Oops! In Sit Still, Fox is in the midst of painting a landscape when Chick suggests a portrait of him would be more exciting. If only Chick would sit still….
I read Fox and Chick to my second grade #classroombookaday class; they absolutely loved each story. While it is a great read aloud, the illustrations deserve full attention to see both Fox's and Chick's expressions throughout each story. After sharing Fox and Chick, the students wanted to know if there are more Fox and Chick adventures. I can only hope!
Dog Loves Books by Louise Yates
Dog loves everything about books so he decides to open his own bookstore. On the day of his Grand Opening, no one came and when they finally did visit, it was not to buy books. While Dog was a little sad, he did not dwell on it. Instead, he took a book off the shelf and began to read. When he read, he forgot he was alone because each book took him on a new adventure. At the end , a little girl visits his bookstore and while Dog loved books, he realized he enjoys sharing them even more!
How can you not love a dog that loves books! Author illustrator Louise Yates reminds young readers about the power of finding the right book as well as the joy of sharing books with others.
I look forward to read the rest of the books in the series: Dog Loves Drawing, Dog Loves Counting, and Dog Loves Fairy Tales.
Etta, Bella, and I thank you for visiting Beagles and Books! Have a great week! Happy Reading!

Captain Superlative Blog Tour: Review & Giveaway
May 8, 2018 May 12, 2018 lauramossa
Happy Book Birthday to J.S. Puller's Captain Superlative!
Title: CAPTAIN SUPERLATIVE
Author: J.S, Puller
Pub. Date: May 8, 2018
Publisher: Disney Hyperion
Find it: Amazon, B&N, iBooks, TBD, Goodreads
"Have no fear, citizens! Captain Superlative is here to make all troubles disappear!" Red mask, blue wig, silver swimsuit, rubber gloves, torn tights, high top sneakers and . . . a cape? Who would run through the halls of Deerwood Park Middle School dressed like this? And why?
Janey-quick to stay in the shadows-can't resist the urge to uncover the truth behind the mask. The answer pulls invisible Janey into the spotlight and leads her to an unexpected friendship with a superhero like no other. Fearless even in the face of school bully extraordinaire, Dagmar Hagen, no good deed is too small for the incomparable Captain Superlative and her new sidekick, Janey.
But superheroes hold secrets and Captain Superlative is no exception. When Janey unearths what's truly at stake, she's forced to face her own dark secrets and discover what it truly means to be a hero . . . and a friend.
At Dearwood Park Middle School, Janey is content with being Just Plain Jane because the alternatives are much worse. By flying under the radar, Janey is less apt to get picked on by Dagmar Hagan who to adults is the service-award-winning star of the soccer team, but to students is a brutal bully. Although Janey has witnessed Dagmar picking on fellow classmate Paige, she does not feel compelled to step in until….she meets Captain Superlative.
Unlike Janey, Captain Superlative has no problem with the spotlight. Wearing her superhero costume, her mission is to spread kindness to all students including Dagmar. Janey is intrigued by the masked student. Who is Captain Superlative? What is her motive? Once Dagmar crosses a line with Paige, Janey's invisible cloak disappears, and she becomes Captain Superlative's sidekick holding open doors, passing out study guides, giving out mints, and most importantly realizing she can do good things instead of just breezing by. When Captain Superlative is absent from school for three days, Janey get worried. She uncovers the superhero's secret which not only resurfaces the past but also makes Janey question who she really is. Is she really Plain Jane or Janey with an exclaimation point?
This story really drew me in, and it was difficult to stop reading. Once Janey made the choice to stand up for Paige and join Captain Superlative, she truly blossomed. By performing simple acts of kindness, she discovered that she can make a difference. While Captain Superlative's secret hit Janey hard, it also forced Janey to think about her identity. Who is she and what does she stand for? Middle school is tough to navigate, and readers will definitely be able to relate to Janey's journey. Similar to the Julian Chapter in Wonder, readers also learn a revelation about Dagmar which does not excuse her awful actions but helps you better understand them. I must admit that Captain Superlative was my favorite character because she reminds us of the importance of being someone and doing the right thing. We can all be superheroes.

Just Under the Clouds by Melissa Sarno
Ever since her father's death six years ago, Cora and her family have struggled to find stability especially with housing. Money is tight so Cora, her mother, and her younger sister Adare move a lot with hopes of finding permanent housing they can afford. Because of her mom's long work hours, taking care of Adare after school has become Cora's responsibility. Adare who lost oxygen to the brain during birth "sees things a different way" which makes caring for her sometimes challenging.
Set in Brooklyn and told in Cora's point of view, Just Under the Clouds is a honest and touching story about homelessness through the eyes of a twelve year old girl. While she technically has had a "roof over her head," Cora never lived in a place that felt like home.
At school, Cora has always kept to herself until she meet Sabina, who until recently had been home-schooled her whole life and lives an untethered life on a houseboat. I just love their friendship because Cora finally takes a chance to truly trust someone outside her family. I also admire Cora's mother for maintaining stability in their unstable world and for recognizing Cora's strength and encouraging her to "climb high." Cora's story reminds us that "you can only grow things if you have faith in them from the beginning." This is a heart print book that I can't wait to share with students.
A very special thanks to Melissa Sarno for sending an ARC of Just Under the Clouds to my #bookexcursion group. It publishes on June 5, 2018.
Power Forward by Hena Khan Illustrated by Sally Wern Comport
Date/Time: May 5, 2018 11:25 a.m.
What I Read: Power Forward is the first book in a new chapter book series about fourth-grader Zayd Saleem. Zayd lives for basketball, not the violin. He is determined to move up from the D league to the gold team playing along side his best friend Adam. Zayd knows that practicing basketball is crucial to achieving his dream; therefore, he decides to skip his morning advanced orchestra practice to play basketball with Adam and other members of the gold team. All is well until Zayd forgets his violin in the car, and his mother discovers his lie. As a result, he is grounded from basketball. Will Zayd be able to convince his parents how important basketball is to him in order to make try outs?
How I Feel: Sports have never been my thing but Power Forward is so much more than a basketball story. Zayd is such a relatable character and can be a mirror for young readers. He is underweight for his age which makes him work harder to prove he is gold team material. Things come more easily to his sister Zara, which is frustrating for him. His parents wish that he had the same passion for violin that he has for basketball. What I truly love about Zayd's story is that it can also be a window. Zayd and his family are Pakistani American and throughout the book, their culture is seamlessly interwoven into the story from language to food to sports. As a reading specialist, I am always on the lookout for new #ownvoices titles to share with students as well as share with my media specialist to order for our school library.
Thanks so much to Simon & Schuster for sending an ARC of Power Forward to our #bookexcursion group. It publishes on May 8, 2018. For more information about ZaydSalem, Chasing the Dream series, click here.
Daring Dreamers Club: Milla Takes Charge by Erin Soderberg
Milla Takes Charge is the first book in this new chapter series about 5 fifth grade girls who become friends in their advisory group led by Ms. Bancroft, the new music teacher. As part of advisory, all students will respond to writing prompts throughout the year. Having a thing for princesses, Ms. Bancroft asks the girls to reflect upon a princess that they feel connected with or inspired by and explain why. While all girls share their journal entries filled with their dreams, the story centers on Milla. Raised by her two moms, Milla is an avid reader and writer. Like Belle in Beauty and the Beast, she yearns for adventure especially participating in the fifth grade overnight to Adventure Camp. Concerned that her overprotective parents won't let her go, Milla enlists the help of the Daring Dreamers to prove she is responsible.
Daring Dreamers Club is another great #ownvoices series to add to a classroom library and like Power Forward, the characters can be either a mirror or window to young readers. What I especially love about this series is how the girls demonstrate true friendship towards one another. Although each girl has big dreams, they realize they can all achieve their personal dreams by supporting each other!
A special thanks to Erin Soderberg for sending an ARC to my #bookexcursion group. Milla Takes Charge publishes on June 5, 2018. For more information on the Daring Dreamers series, click here.
Perfectly Norman by Tom Perchival
Disclaimer: While having no speaking part, Norman's dog is his loyal companion supporting him without hesitation. Sidekicks are the best!
Norman lived a perfectly normal life until….he grew a pair of wings. Instead of celebrating his extraordinary wings, Norman hid them inside a great, big, yellow coat. The problem is now Norman is hot, uncomfortable, and miserable. Will Norman ever learn to just be himself?
Perfectly Norman is a heartwarming story about acceptance and learning to be comfortable in your own skin, I mean wings. Rather than celebrating his wonderful gift, Norman becomes worried about being different. Throughout his struggle, his sweet little dog remains his loyal companion.
The illustrations are integral to the story, for author illustrator Perchival uses a minimal palette of black, white, yellow, and red in the first few page spreads. As soon as Norman discovers his wings, more vibrant colors appear in the illustrations. Once Norman hides his wings, his yellow coat is the only color prominent on each page. Readers have to patiently wait for Norman to realize that the coat, not his wings is making him miserable. Then all the colors of the rainbow of return!
#Bookexcursion, Debut Author, Picture Books
Penguin & Tiny Shrimp Don't Do Bedtime by Cate Berry Illustrated by Charles Santoso
On the very first page, pajama clad Penguin announces "This is not a bedtime book" with night cap wearing Tiny Shrimp chiming in saying "We don't do bedtime!" The adorable characters make it clear that there is no room for typical bedtime rituals such as toothbrushing, big beds or counting sheep. On the contrary, readers will be enticed to stay wide awake with fireworks, vine swinging, hot air balloon rides, songs, jokes and even the rare appearance of a Uni-Hippo! After Penguin and Tiny Shrimp engage in all their adventures, they maintain their anti-sleep position stating "This book will never make you yawn" but their actions begin to contradict their original declaration. It is not long before the two characters are crawling into bed and sleep soundly. Clearly, storytelling is tiring work!
Penguin & Tiny Shrimp Don't Do Bedtime is a hilarious and highly entertaining picture book from debut author Cate Berry. Not only did I pre-order this book immediately, I now have the perfect recommendation for a bedtime read aloud (sorry Penguin and Tiny Shrimp!) that parents will take great pleasure in reading again and again to their children. Santoso's pictures adorably depict Penguin and Tiny Shrimp's insistence and excitement in staying awake yet by the end of the book, his illustrations subtly and sweetly transition to show their fading energy. Even the background color of the pages becomes gray to signify the change.
Special thanks to Cate Berry for sending an ARC of Penguin & Tiny Shrimp Don't Do Bedtime to our #bookexcursion group. Can't wait for its release May 2018. I sincerely hope there will be more Penguin and Tiny Shrimp adventures to come!


Ever notice how the Netherlands is a completely different country when the sun is shining? Seriously. Every year it catches me off guard as the transformation is so instant and extreme.
This past Sunday was a glorious sun-shinny day, so the family and I set off to explore the city. We didn't make it too far, as ThingOne was feeling "all bunched up" in our new double stroller and "needed to run". The impending crisis was avoided as her "I NEED TO GET OUT" cries coincided perfectly with our stumbling upon a spacious city square/playground.
The loveliest thing about this particular playground is that the fenced in sandbox just happens to be next to a terraced cafe, which just happens to serve adult drinks on the playground. Who says you can't find good service in the Netherlands? 😉 So, the hubby and I ordered our G&T's in plastic beakers and took our spots on a sunny bench overlooking the nearby canal.
I gazed around taking in the sights of the Netherlands "first-days-of-sun". Things were definitely different: birds were chirping, trees were blooming and the sky was an unfamiliar blue colour. But, that wasn't all: the people themselves were different. Relaxed. Happier. Friendlier. Chattier.
As long as I've lived here, I've always thought that Dutch people are seriously sun-deprived. The Dutch winter is long, and wet, and dark. Oh, and did I mention it's long? Some years it feels like it spans the better half of the calendar year, and some years it actually does. But with those first few sunny days, the country comes alive and out of the dark winter trenches emerges the beautiful city I fell in love.
On those first few sunny days, every cafe, bar and restaurant throws open its door and eagerly starts setting up their terraces. Dutch people haul their dining rooms chairs (and sometimes tables!) outside their homes and sit proudly on their stoops soaking in the precious rays. The city's outdoor parks and squares immediate fill up. Endless boats cruise the canals.
It doesn't matter what day of the week it is, if there's sun, the Dutch are nearly obliged to be out and about. Work? Didn't you get the memo?! Work can wait- the sun is here! Don't believe me, take a walk around any city in the Netherlands this week and you will see outdoor terraces and cafes overflowing with Dutch people. The Dutch make it happen, because above all, they've got their priorities straight. Meetings in stuffy boardrooms are swapped for outdoor rendez-vous, and indoor activities are moved to the fresh air. All hail the mighty sun!
The Dutch you see, are like sunflowers. You'll find them right now, as we speak, sitting outdoors, chairs turned and faces pointed directly to the sun, bathing in the light. One thing is certain: if the sun is out, so are the Dutch.
I grew up in the sunny Southwestern US were I spent most of my time looking for a patch of shade. After moving to the NL that all changed. One day I was laying in a sunny spot on my bed reading a book. As the sunny patched slowly moved I moved along with it quite unaware that I was doing it until I suddenly realized I slid myself right off the bed and onto the floor just to stay in the sunny spot.
Absoluut! We're having a spate of Dutch-like weather here right now and I've been telling everyone how this is typical where I used to live and they look at me like I was in a prison camp and say things like, "How did you survive?" and, "I couldn't do it." I had almost forgotten how such a long spell without the sun makes you feel. I'd still move back to the Netherlands in a heart beat but I can't say I miss the long, dreary days of winter (spring, early summer…). I do miss seeing everyone, EVERYONE out enjoying the sun when it does finally make an appearance. Such a great shared experience!
There's the sun and there's also the heat, and whilst I'm in the camp that loves the weather being over 25c, there's a large proportion (including my Dutch wife) that go into meltown (no pun intended) as though they've been transported to some hellish mangrove in Java and can't wait for it to be over.
Even when I was in university, some teaching groups would be held outside, in our faculty garden! It is nice to see that this apparently is a very Dutch thing to do!
I am a school art teacher and trying to teach students about international cultures. Can you reply with how to say these 3 words in Dutch?

Richard Rothe (28 January 1799 – 20 August 1867) was a German Lutheran theologian.

Biography
Richard Rothe was born at Posen, then part of Prussia. He studied theology in the universities of Heidelberg and Berlin (1817–20) under Karl Daub, Schleiermacher and Neander, the philosophers and historians G. W. F. Hegel, Friedrich Creuzer and F. C. Schlosser exercising a considerable influence in shaping his thought. From 1820 to 1822 he was in the clerical seminary at Wittenberg. In the autumn of 1823 he was appointed chaplain to the Kingdom of Prussia embassy in Rome, of which Baron Bunsen was the head. This post he exchanged in 1828 for a professorship in the Wittenberg theological seminary, of which in 1832 he became also second director and ephorus, and hence in 1837 he removed to Heidelberg as professor and director of a new clerical seminary; in 1849 he accepted an invitation to Bonn as professor and university preacher, but in 1854 he returned to Heidelberg as professor of theology, and afterwards became a member of the Oberkirchenrath, a position he held until his death. He died in Heidelberg.

Theology
As a youth Rothe had a bent towards a supernatural mysticism; his chosen authors were those of the romantic school, and Novalis remained throughout his life a special favourite. In Berlin and Wittenberg he came under the influence of Pietism as represented by such men as Rudolf Stier and Friedrich Tholuck, though Tholuck pronounced him a "very modern Christian." He afterwards confessed that, though he had been a sincere Pietist, he was never a happy one. In Rome, under the broadening influence of classical and ecclesiastical art, he learned to look at Christianity in its human and universalistic aspects, and began to develop his great idea, the inseparable relation of religion and morals. He began then, and particularly after the revolution of July 1830, likewise to give a more definite form to his peculiar view of the relations of church and state. He thus became out of harmony with the pietistic thought and life of Wittenberg. His removal to Heidelberg and the publication of his first important work, Die Anfänge der christlichen Kirche und ihrer Verfassung (1837), coincide with the attainment of the principal theological positions with which his name is associated. During the middle period of his career (1837–61) he led the life of a scholastic recluse. During the last six years of his life he came forward as the advocate of a free theology and of the Protestantenverein.

Rothe was one of the most profound and influential of modern German theologians. Like Schleiermacher he combined with the keenest logical faculty an intensely religious spirit, while his philosophical tendencies were in sympathy rather with Hegel than with Schleiermacher, and theosophic mysticism was more congenial to him than the abstractions of Spinoza, to whom Schleiermacher owed so much. He classed himself among the theosophists, and claimed to be a convinced and happy supernaturalist in a scientific age. His system, though it may seem to contain doubtful or even fantastic elements, is in its general outlines a noble massive whole, constructed by a profound, comprehensive, fearless and logical mind. A peculiarity of his thought was the realistic nature of his spiritualism: his abstractions are all real existences; his spiritual entities are real and corporeal; his truth is actual being. Hence Rothe, unlike Schleiermacher, lays great stress, for instance, on the personality of God, on the reality of the worlds of good and evil spirits, and on the visible second coming of Christ. Hence his religious feeling and theological speculation demanded their realization in a kingdom of God coextensive with man's nature, terrestrial history and human society.

Theologische Ethik
Thus Rothe's theological system became a Theologische Ethik, as he entitled one of his books (3 vols., 1845-1848). It is on this work that Rothe's permanent reputation as a theologian and ethical writer will rest. The first edition remained twelve years out of print before the second (5 vols., 1867–71) appeared. It was the author's purpose to rewrite the whole, but he died when he had completed the first two volumes. The remainder was reprinted from the first edition by Professor Heinrich Holtzmann, with the addition of some notes and emendations left by the author.

The Theologische Ethik begins with a general sketch of the author's system of speculative theology in its two divisions, theology proper and cosmology, cosmology falling into the two subdivisions of Physik (the world of nature) and Ethik (the world of spirit). It is the last subdivision with which the body of the work is occupied. After an analysis of the religious consciousness, which yields the doctrine of an absolute personal and spiritual God, Rothe proceeds to deduce from his idea of God the process and history of creative development, which is eternally proceeding and bringing forth, as its unending purpose, worlds of spirits, partially self-creative and sharing the absolute personality of the Creator.

Rothe regards the natural man as the consummation of the development of physical nature, and obtains spirit as the personal attainment, with divine help, of those beings in whom the further creative process of moral development is carried on. His theory leaves the natural man, without hesitation, to be developed by the natural processes of animal evolution. The attainment of the higher stage of development is the moral and religious vocation of man; this higher stage is self-determination, the performance of every human function as a voluntary and intelligent agent, or as a person, having as its cosmical effect the subjection of all material to spiritual existences. This personal process of spiritualization is the continuation of the eternal divine work of creation. Thus the moral life and the religious life coincide, and when normal are identical; both have the same aim and are occupied with the same task, the accomplishment of the spiritualization of the world. "Piety, that it may become truth and reality, demands morality as its fulfilment, as the only concrete element in which the idea of fellowship with God is realized; morality, that it may find its perfect unfolding, requires the aid of piety, in the light of which alone it can comprehend its own idea in all its breadth and depth."

The process of human development Rothe regards as necessarily taking an abnormal form and passing through the phase of sin. This abnormal condition necessitates a fresh creative act, that of salvation, which was, however, from the first, part of the divine plan. As a preparation for this salvation supernatural revelation was required for the purifying and revivification of the religious consciousness, and the Saviour Himself had to appear in human history as a fresh miraculous creation, born of a woman but not begotten by a man. In consequence of His supernatural birth the Saviour, or the second Adam, was free from original sin. By His own moral and religious development He made possible a relation of perfect fellowship between God and man, which was the new and highest stage of the divine creation of mankind. This stage of development inaugurated by the Saviour is attained by means of His kingdom or the community of salvation, which is both moral and religious, and in the first instance and temporarily only religious—that is, a church. As men reach the full development of their nature, and appropriate the perfection of the Saviour, the separation between the religious and the moral life will vanish, and the Christian state, as the highest sphere of human life representing all human functions, will displace the church. "In proportion as the Saviour Christianizes the state by means of the church must the progressive completion of the structure of the church prove the cause of its abolition." The decline of the church is therefore not to be deplored, but recognized as the consequence of the independence and completeness of the Christian life. It is the third section of his work—the Pflichtenlehre—which is generally most highly valued, and where his full strength as an ethical thinker is displayed, without any mixture of theosophic speculation.

Other works
Since Rothe's death several volumes of his sermons and of his lectures (on dogmatics, the history of homiletics) and a collection of brief essays and religious meditations under the title of Stille Stunden (Wittenberg, 1872) have been published. Jane Stoddart's translation of his work was called Still Hours when it was published in 1886.

I have many western buckles, bola ties and a few sets with matching buckles and bolas or buckles and collar tips with several different stones available. My Dad was a rockhound before he died and delighted bringing home pretty rocks to cut and polish to make jewelry. I have bolas, buckles, pendants and pins of snowflake obsidian, malachite, jasper, dinosaur bone, agate, rhodochrosite, turquoise and probably a few other stones whose names I forget.
This is just a representative grouping of what's available, come by and take a look.
Lots of extra Cabochons, too!
Buckle prices range from $20 to $50 depending on the value of the stone.


Hi All, I'm an Android fan since 2010 and I make games for android too.
I recommend you this game made with unity. It is inspired in old retro games I hope you like it.
Hey guys! Please suggest if i am supposed to root my phone or not. I am just afraid that i will lose my warranty.
It is definitely true that you will void the phone's warranty by rooting your phone, but my suggestion is if you have an older phone don't get rid of it, root it, and send stuff to it from your active current phone that you want to do things to that can only be done on a rooted phone.
What version of android you boys and gals are using?
Mainly 7.0 but I have a test phone with 4.2.1 installed on it.
Still 4.2.2 because u no need PC to root it.
My older device use to have 2.3.6 but then i rooted it and installed Cyanogen mod(s).
Currently running Cyanogen mod 10.2 with Android 4.3.1 .

«Королевская академия» (итал. Regal Academy) — итальянский мультсериал производства компании Rainbow S.r.l., которая создала мультсериал «Клуб Винкс». Мультсериал создавался на протяжении шести лет.

Сюжет
Роуз —  обычная девочка, увлекающаяся модой на туфли. Однажды, по дороге в школу, она поддаётся соблазну и заходит в обувной магазин, где случайно натыкается на говорящего мышонка. Последний сбегает, обронив волшебный ключ, который Роуз решает оставить у себя. В тот же день она натыкается на странного парня, который аналогичным ключом открывает тайную дверь в стене. Тайком последовав за ним, Роуз попадает в волшебную школу в ином измерении, где живут персонажи различных детских сказок. Там же она встречает свою бабушку Золушку и заводит новых друзей, которые не раз спасут свою академию.

Персонажи

Первостепенные герои
 Роуз Золушка - главная героиня мультсериала. Обычная шестнадцатилетняя школьница с Земли, которая попала учиться в Королевскую Академию для отпрысков героев из волшебных сказок в силу своей чрезмерной неуклюжести и детской наивности. Выясняется, что Роуз — внучка первой Золушки. Роуз учится владеть волшебной палочкой для управления Волшебством Тыквы (чаще всего использует эту магию для сотворения различных транспортных средств). Её любимое хобби — шоппинг и чтение сказок, куда всю жизнь мечтала попасть. Обожает туфли. Дракона зовут Тинклес. Встречается с Хоуком Белоснежным.
 Астория Рапунцель — внучка Рапунцель. Так же, как и её бабушка, имеет очень длинные волосы. Астория — ботаник и перфекционистка "до мозга костей". Использует свою магию, чтобы выращивать башни из цветов, а также свои собственные волосы может превращать в прочные лианы. Влюблена в Шона Чудовище.
 Джой Лягушка - внучка короля-лягушонка. Любит насекомых, хотя и забывает, что не все окружающие разделяют её пристрастия. Джой любит подбодрить друзей и поддерживает их идеи, независимо от того, насколько они хороши или плохи. Использует лягушачью магию, чтобы превращать людей (а иногда и саму себя) в лягушек.
 Хоук Белоснежный - внук Белоснежки. Считает себя идеальным принцем среди героев сказок, из-за чего нередко преувеличивает свой героизм. Однако, иногда может проявлять чудеса храбрости среди друзей в плохих ситуациях. Хоук использует снежную магию, чтобы замораживать людей и вещи. Встречается с Роуз Золушкой. Также есть старшая сестра Фала Белоснежная.
 Тревис Чудовище - внук Чудовища. При своём спокойном и непринуждённом характере бывает излишне артистичен. Зачастую все атаки приходятся на него. Когда сердится, то становится настоящим чудовищем, из-за чего не всегда контролирует свою силу. Использует звериную магию, которая позволяет ему повелевать ветров, вплоть до сотворения ураганов. Встречается с Лин-Лин Железный Веер.
 Вики Брумстик - главная антагонистка мультсериала, студентка, которая желает стать окончательным сказочным злодеем. Тем не менее, её планы всегда срываются Роуз, и таким образом, её цель состоит в том, чтобы Роуз была исключена из Королевской Академии. Имя Вики и её сила для сотворения злых чар позволяет предположить, что она состоит в родстве с неизвестной сказочной ведьмой.
 Руби Степсистер - студентка, дружащая с Вики и обычно помогающая ей в её коварных планах (по большей части, та делает основную работу). Влюблена в Хоука, который является ещё одной причиной, чтобы помогать Вики. Сила Руби позволяет ей приводить в порядок вещи. Её фамилия говорит о том, что она в родстве с одной из сводных сестёр Золушки. Была изгнана из академии.
 Сайрус Брумстик - двоюродный брат и друг Вики. Очень ленив и любит вздремнуть, даже во время занятий. Из-за своей лени он обычно принуждается приходить за помощью со схемами к Вики.
 Лин-Лин Железный Веер - внучка принцессы Железный Веер. Лин-Лин росла, стараясь стать идеальным воином и отличной ученицей. Вот почему она ничего не знает о моде, танцах, романтике и остальных вещах, которые обожают все обычные школьницы. Благодаря Роуз смогла исполнить мечту, быть сильным воином и нежной принцессой. Встречается с Тревисом Чудовищем.
 Шон Чудовище - внук Чудовища. Появляется во 2 сезоне. Владеет магией масок, позволяющей создавать любые маски. С детства знает Асторию Рапунцель и влюблён в неё.

Второстепенные герои
 Директор Золушка - бабушка Роуз и директриса в Королевской Академии. Будучи контролируемой её мачехой и сводными сёстрами, Золушка не боится высказывать свои мысли, став старше и опытнее. Любит шить кружева и платья. Как и её внучка, зачастую увлекается созданием новых дизайнерских направлений в одежде.
 Тренер Чудовище - дедушка Тревиса. Своенравный учитель физкультуры, который любит кричать на студентов, задавать им экстремальные тренировки. Основной исполнитель дисциплинарных наказаний, когда студенты нарушают правила школы. Но под своей жёсткой внешностью, тренер Чудовище при этом имеет добродушное сердце. Также обучает езде верхом на драконах.
 Профессор Белоснежка - бабушка Хоука. Строгий учитель в Королевской Академии. Находится в ладах с Роуз и её друзьями, несмотря на их запретные приключения. Любит яблоки и имеет всегда на всякий случай лукошко полезных яблок на своём столе. Белоснежка учит студентов этикету, работе в команде и как использовать магические предметы и заклинания.
 Доктор Лягух - дедушка Джой. Профессор зелий в школе. С его постоянным серьёзным взглядом в глазах, он чаще всего кажется всем смешным и нелепым. Доктор Лягух остаётся равнодушным, даже если  что-то происходит не так, и будет дальше продолжать занятие в классе, так как он очень рассеянный.
 Магистр Рапунцель - бабушка Астории. Учитель поэзии и литературы. Из-за того, что она потратила столько времени в башне, магистр Рапунцель всегда взволнованно говорит и ищет многое в своих книгах. Учительница часто теряет контроль над темой разговора и заканчивает его со статуями, картинами и своими собственными волосами.
 Профессор Вольфрам - антропоморфный волк, который всегда безупречно одет и хорошо воспитан. Он учит своих студентов рыцарству и героизму, а его задания постоянно превращаются в приключения. Тем не менее на веселье, иногда происходит и что-то тёмное на его уроках.
 Профессор Белль - профессор искусства в Королевской Академии. Бабушка Тревиса. Она очень добрая, часто имеющая хорошее слово для всех. Профессор Красавица способна видеть положительное даже в плохих, несчастных ситуациях. Преподаватель также может говорить часть целого урока на протяжении долгих часов.
 Фала Белоснежная - старшая сестра Хоука. Появляется во 2 сезоне. Очень добрая, красивая, талантливая, очень любит своего брата и популярна среди парней. Также помогает Роуз и Хоуку сблизится.

Push notification-enabled app users are shown to have higher engagement and retention, along with lower abandonment overall. The only problem with this study-backed information is that 60% of users opt out of push notifications.
What's the point of having such an effective tool if the majority of people opt out?
The main problem is that people are often bombarded with push notifications that have no relevance, value or convenience. If you can portray to your customers that you have push notifications that are worth their time, you are well on your way to notification success.
Keep reading to learn how to make push notifications that no one can ignore.
Once a user feels they don't receive personalized value from your push notifications, they will stop getting the messages.
Therefore, focusing on these elements is the first step to making your messaging more relevant. Push notifications still lack some of the more complex targeting features, like for demographics, but if you know your customers, you can personalize the messages and understand exactly why they come to your company for help.
If you run a company that sells maternity clothing, or just women's clothing in general, don't you think these customers would find a buy one get one sale rather interesting? It's personal since your customers at least have the potential to be mothers, and it's relevant, because people enjoy promotions through push notifications.
One struggle many companies encounter is how to convince the users that they should take action after the push notification is sent out. For example, if you tell people that they can receive a free training session at your fitness center, it serves as an enticing offer. However, you lose customers, or make them simply forget when you don't close the deal right there.
How do customers sign up for the free training session? Is there a form that goes through the app, making it both easy and convenient? Could you allow them to download a coupon for saving it to their phone and bringing it into the shop?
Although push notifications allow for links to other pages in your app (like a reservation form for this fitness training example,) it's important to specify, in words, how the users should go about receiving their promotion or coupon. In this case, I simply stated that the customers could book a time through the app, minimizing confusion and pushing some of the business through my mobile app.
The key to the ideal push notification timing is to look at when and how often you're sending out your messages. First, let's take a look at when to send out your messages. Most of this depends on your industry, but think about a restaurant. If folks are booking times for tables in advance, there's a small chance that users would appreciate a reminder to book a table ten minutes before 10 o'clock at night.
However, if you have a busy Valentine's night, and someone cancels their reservation, an opportunity for a promotion comes to mind. In this case you could give out a free entree, or something similar, if someone books the table within the next 20 minutes. This way, you fill your table and the customer receives a nice gift.
How often you send out your push notifications is also an essential part of your strategy. This depends on the type of messaging. If you're sending out receipts, confirmations or anything of that sort, shoot these out as needed.
However, for sales, promotions, news and other items, choose a frequency, preferably around once a week, and stick to it.
That's it for learning how to make push notifications that no one can ignore. Leave us a line in the comments section if you have any questions about creating interesting messages, or even if you have some tips for other mobile app owners out there.

Unter Finanzkontrolle versteht man das Verwaltungshandeln der Rechnungshöfe und der verwandten Ämter. Ziel der Finanzkontrolle ist, die öffentlichen Haushalte auf Richtigkeit, Ordnungsmäßigkeit und Wirtschaftlichkeit zu prüfen und etwaige Mängel in der Haushalts- oder Wirtschaftsführung aufzudecken. Da es sich hierbei um eine hoheitliche Tätigkeit handelt, wird diese Pflichtaufgabe in der Regel mit Beamten ausgeführt.

Es kann unterschieden werden
 Finanzkontrolle in der EU – Europäischer Rechnungshof
 Finanzkontrolle im Bund – Bundesrechnungshof
 Finanzkontrolle in den Ländern – Landesrechnungshöfe/Rechnungsprüfungsamt
 Finanzkontrolle bei den Gemeinden – Kommunaler Prüfungsverband, Kommunalaufsicht, Gemeindeprüfungsamt
 Finanzkontrolle bei den Kirchen
 Finanzkontrolle in Unternehmen – interne Revision

In den jeweiligen Haushaltsordnungen werden die Verwaltungseinheiten ermächtigt Prüfungen durchzuführen. Wichtigste Voraussetzungen für eine funktionierende Finanzkontrolle ist die Unabhängigkeit und Trennung der Finanzkontrolle von der Exekutivgewalt.

Ergebnis einer Finanzkontrolle sind zum Beispiel Prüfungsmitteilungen, beratende Äußerungen, Jahresberichte oder Denkschriften. Letztere sind eine Zusammenstellung der besonders bedeutsamen Prüfungsergebnisse eines Jahres und dienen zur Entlastung der Exekutive durch die Legislative. Im Gegensatz zur Prüfungsmitteilung, die nur die geprüfte Stelle erhält, werden Jahresberichte oder Denkschriften auch der Öffentlichkeit bekannt gegeben.

Der Preis für die Unabhängigkeit der Finanzkontrolle ist die fehlende Möglichkeit, den geprüften Stellen Weisungen oder Vorgaben für die Haushalts- und Wirtschaftsführung zu geben. Sie kann in der Regel nur Empfehlungen aussprechen, ohne deren Umsetzung durchsetzen zu können.

Uneinigkeit herrscht über die zukünftige Ausrichtung der Finanzkontrolle. Zum einen sind Bestrebungen zu erkennen, die ein sehr frühes Einbinden der Finanzkontrolle in Entscheidungsprozesse der Exekutive und Legislative belegen – was bedeutet, dass die Finanzkontrolle als Berater im Vorfeld tätig wird. Zum anderen gibt es die Vertreter der klassischen Rechnungsprüfung, die sich bewusst aus jeglicher politischen Institutionalisierung heraushalten, um im Gegenzug am Maximum der Unabhängigkeit festhalten zu können.

Today is Jack's last day of school and they will be having a Luau Party to celebrate (complete with a pretend plan ride to Hawaii). Sadly (for me) the parents aren't invited on that trip, instead we spent a lot of the day yesterday at school. First we had an awesome picnic lunch outside with all of the kindergarten classes (so old friends & new in one place) and a special ice cream dessert! Then in the afternoon they put on two plays for us! And they were pretty darn awesome...really!!
This is Jack & his buddy Sammy right before the play started. They were the narrators, so not too much going on costume-wise. Jack just told me he had to dress "kind of fancy"...that's a polo shirt right?
After school Matt took Olivia home so she could finish up her nap and he could work, and I stayed on the playground with the big kids. I let them stay until there was no one left and then we headed home. Armed with my camera and no stroller, I could not resist capturing these two.
i love last days of schools and wonderful celebrations. there's just something so exciting and electric in the air!!
cutest photo ever of your peanuts!!
Love that picture of Jack & EJ! Totally pulled at my heartstrings & I've never even met the cuties. Enjoy the excitement of the end of school & I look forward to reading about all the clever things you do over the summer!

Colic is probably one problem every horseman will experience with some degree of regularity, no matter what type of horse he deals with or how careful his barnmanship. Colic has been with us since earliest times and will continue to be with us in future times. A 1926 study on the horse population of the Prussian Calvary analyzed 71,532 cases of colic in the first study and 98,249 in the second study. It was found that the calvary horse population experienced 3-5% colic episodes on an annual basis. Further, it was found that 11-14% of these colic episodes resulted in death. I doubt seriously that these statistics have improved much at the beginning of the 21st century despite all of our high tech veterinary advances.
Most horse people have a very fleeting knowledge of what colic is outside of it being a stomach ailment. We mostly know not to allow the horse to stand, to walk the horse incessantly, maybe give a patented colic tonic of some sort, but mainly to call the vet, post haste. Likewise, I have yet to read an herbal that has anything enlightening to say about equine colic. Most are like a modern popular equine herbal which was published recently. It tells you to phone a vet at once and only offers rudimentary "prophylactic" herbal cures. Pretty pitiful content to say the least.
Primarily, colic is the term for a painful dysfunction of the horse's gastro-intestinal (GI) tract which may be based anywhere from in the stomach to the descending colon at the far posterior end. The equine structural gastrointestinal route from head to tail is as follows: (1) stomach ---- (2) small intestine (duodenum--jejunu--ileum) ---- (3) large intestine (cecum--ascending colon--descending colon) ---- (4) rectum. There are many causes of colic and many mechanisms. I am interested primarily in the race horse, and they tend to be afflicted by only a few common types of colic and causes. Exceptions can happen, but the acute colic, I am about to discuss is the most commonly observed types in race horse barns across the United States. In my forty years of training show and race horses, these are the only ones, I have observed. I have never lost a horse to colic, never been forced to make a dreaded trip to a University clinic. Hopefully, you won't either.
Physiology-mechanics of Colic
Diagnosis of Colic
Historic and Modern Treatments of Colic
The key is to catch and treat your horse early. You will find that acute colic is like a snow ball rolling down hill. The longer and further it is allowed to progress, the harder it will be to stop it. In cases of intestinal impaction and distention, the objective is to get the gut moving the blocked ingesta as quickly as possible, to stimulate circulation, and limit as much as possible gas/fluid formation in the lumen. My herbal protocol is modeled after the treatment originated with Dr. Richard Schulze. He gained his experiences from a long human clinical practice and applied it to equine colic. My formula and application differs slightly from his, but his is the model; and I tip my hat to his herbal ingenuity. My herbal colic mixture is formulated as follows (parts = volume):
Cape Aloe Leaf (2 parts)
Senna leaf/pods (1 part)
Cascara Sagrada (1 part)
Barberry root bark (1 part)
Ginger root (1 part)
Fennel (1 part)
Garlic aged powder (1 part)
Wild yam root (1 part)
Cayenne powder (2 parts)
Cape Aloe leave-----(Aloe ferox) was no stranger in 19th and early 20th century veterinary medicine. The aloes, of which there are several kinds were long considered a remedy most suitable for the equine. Aloes seems less effective in other types of domestic animals. The U.S. Dispensatory states that it's primary action as a cathartic (evacuating bowels) is exerted upon the large intestines and, accordingly, acts very slowly. This text goes on to curiously say of aloes that "A peculiarity in the action of this cathartic is, that an increase of the quantity administered, beyond the medium dose, is not attended by a corresponding increase of effect." The 1901 British Veterinary text, Veterinary Medicines states that aloes is a purgative (causing bowel evacuation) generally used in horses. "In torpidity of the bowels it is conjoined with nux vomica, which stimulates peristalsis. In flatulent or spasmodic colic it is prescribed either in bolus or rubbed down with warm water...". This text goes on to say, "Four to six drachms generally operate in 16 to 24 hours. The degree and continuance of the action are also liable to variation; in some horses purging is over in two or three hours; in others it extends over 24 hours." This seems to be the underlying theme in early Veterinary pharmacy texts. That aloes is slow acting and it is always suggested to not repeat the dosage before 48 hours has elapsed. They are continually warning against "super-purgation". This seems to be at odds with the U.S. Dispensatory's view that super-purgation cannot occur with aloes. It was very common to combine aloes with ginger, nux vomica, and aconite in past veterinary therapy. Traditional dosages for the horse were approximately .5 ounce to 1 ounce (15-30 grams). Aloes does seem to affect the female's reproductive tract, so pregnant mares should be treated with some degree of caution.
Senna Leaf and Pods-----(Senna alexandria) seems to be little used in early Veterinary medicine. I am sure this is in no way a reflection of this herb's effectiveness, but just that there were more potent cathartics favored, i.e. the aloes, linseed oil, castor oil, cascara sagrada, and rhubarb (rhei radix). The Senna most used was imported from India and Egypt. Like aloes, its action is centered on the large intestines by stimulating the vascularity of the mucous membrane and causing increased peristalsis. This herb seems most effective when combined with other cathartics. The suggested dose in horses was four to five ounces, from Veterinary Materia Medica and Therapeutics by Winslow.
Cascara Sagrada-----(Rhamnus purshiana) another commonly used cathartic in Veterinary medicine of the last and next to the last centuries, though its use tended be relegated to the canine. This is a common buckthorn shrub of the western USA. The aged inner bark (at least one year old) is what is employed medicinally. Its actions are very similar to Turkish rhubarb, being very mild in cathartic action. Cascara stimulates the large intestines, like Senna and Aloes.
Barberry Root-----(Berberis vulgaris) has not been routinely used in Veterinary medicine's past. The root bark, in general herbal traditions, has been used medicinally for its tonic, purgative, and antiseptic effects of the gastro-intestinal system. It is prescribed as a stomach tonic and in larger amounts acts as a mild purgative. Barberry is of value in gastric and intestinal dyspepsia (impairment). Organ Grape (Berberis aquifolium) may be substituted for this herb.
Ginger Root -----(Zingiber) was commonly used in Veterinary Materia Medicas of the past. Certainly no stranger to the horse, it was used as an aromatic stimulant, stomachic, and carminative (relieves flatulence). Given internally it promoted gastric secretions, digestion, and appetite. Finlay Dun's Veterinary Medicines of 1901 states: "It is prescribed in atonic dyspepsia, often along with antacids and laxatives. Conjoined with purgatives, it diminishes their tendency to nauseate and gripe, and also somewhat hastens their effects." The traditional dose recommendations for the horse was 4 drams to 1 ounce (16-30 grams). I think this is a key point, ginger "hastens their effects". Like capsicum, ginger acts as a blasting cap to the slower acting cathartics of aloes, senna, cascara. Ginger is not to be underestimated in value to this colic formula as a whole.
Fennel -----(Faeniculum vulgare) was never routinely used in Veterinary Medicine's past, though Veterinary Medicines states it can be substituted for anise which was a aromatic stimulant, stomachic and carminative. "It was used to relieve indigestion and flatulence...and to diminish the griping of purgatives." Both results always a nice addition to any colic formula.
Garlic -----(Allium sativum) was never formally embraced by the educated Veterinary practitioners of the 19th and 20th centuries. The European Gypsies were famous for ruthlessly employing garlic in may equine treatments. Garlic has long been employed in the Herbal traditions as a carminative and anti-microbial. These are the two main uses for including garlic into my colic formula. Garlic is selective about its anti-bacterial action, unlike our modern anti-biotics. Garlic will not kill the bacteria in the G-I tract that is beneficial. It will control an overpopulation of bacteria that may stimulate flatulence under impaction conditions. Garlic can also enhance the qualities of blood during stressful times. I am suggesting the use of aged garlic powder as this has shown to cause no gastric irritation in any amount, though do not take this as a dismissal of fresh garlic. The 1883, U.S. Dispensatory states that when taken internally: "Its effects on the system are those of general stimulant. It quickens the circulation, excites the nervous system...and acts upon the stomach as a tonic and carminative. Moderately employed, it is beneficial in enfeebled digestion and flatulence...".
Wild Yam-----(Dioscorea villosa) has the folk name of Colic Root. That should be explanation enough of its primary use in the past. The root has long been prescribed as an antispasmodic and in cases of bilious colic. Its autonomic nerve relaxant properties makes it a herb of choice in spasmodic colic. The Veterinary Materia Medica of the past did not embrace wild yam though its use in a number of veterinary patented colic remedies were wide spread.
Cayenne-----(Capsicum) is listed last, but is one of the most important constituents of this formula. It is the blasting cap, the catalyst of this herbal colic formula of which, without it, the whole formula is rendered impotent. Do not underestimate the power of capsicum. Capsicum does have a history of use in traditional Veterinary Medicine, though its power and importance were greatly underestimated by our ancestral medical and veterinary practitioners. In Winslow's Veterinary Materia Medica and Therapeutics: "Capsicum is used mainly as a stomachic and a carminative in augmenting the appetite, gastric vascularity, secretion and motion, and intestinal peristalsis. Internally, capsicum. . . is indicated in atonic indigestion and flatulent colic in horses." The recommended dose of the tincture of capsicum in that text was 2-4 grams in the horse. Generally, large therapeutic dosages of capsicum were not given and in fact were warned against in the old Medical texts. Dr. Felter writes back in 1922: "Used within proper dosage it can scarcely do harm and generally results in incalculable good." Thus, the general feelings were that large amounts of capsicum could cause harm of some type, though specifics were never written of.
Dr. Richard Schulze pioneered the use of cayenne to new therapeutic herbal heights. I was puzzled why he seemed to have such success using Aloes, Senna, and Cascara when all of the old Veterinary practitioners seemed to feel that these herbs were too slow acting and of minimal benefit in acute colic. Cayenne was most certainly the answer and the unique adjutant that Schulze combined with the more traditional colic cathartic herbs to obtain stunning results in his treatment of equine colic. He has revolutionized the use of the once common horse cathartics by combining them with substantial amounts of capsicum and ginger.
The dose of the above formula will be in the 60g to 90g amounts or 2-3 ounces per horse. There are basically three methods of administering this herbal formula down a colicky horse. One can tube the herbal/water mixture as Dr. Schulze did via stomach tube, one can drench with a herbal infusion, or one can give it in concentrated tincture form as a limited drench, as many of the old fashion herbal colic tonics were administered.
Dr Schulze's method involved having the vet present and having him tube down a mixture of the powdered herbs in warm water. This is sort of a hybrid infusion method involving the whole herb plus warm water as the carrier. It is necessary to mix the solid herb and warm water together to pass it down the stomach tube. Of course, the disadvantage of stomach tubing is that one needs a vet to be present, presuming that most lay-people do not have the expertise to safely pass a stomach tube into the horse. Sometimes one does not want to forego the cost of calling a Vet or one simply cannot obtain an Equine Vet. As an example, a mare of my nephew's came down with colic and all we had at our disposal was the local cow and hog vet. Since I am now wheelchair bound, I was unable to pass a tube, myself. This rural practitioner does not like horses in the first place and, accordingly, his act of passing a stomach tube into this mare was a very sloppy. He allowed the tube to damage the nasal turbinate, causing a gushing of blood to compound the whole procedure. I have on only a very few occasions ever felt the need to call a vet into my shedrow in cases of acute colic. Note that Dr. Schulze usually was called in, only in morbid situations, so his having a vet present was not unusual. You and I, hopefully will not have our colic cases advance to such seriousness and will be able to handle it on our own. At any rate, using this method involves having the herbs on hand in adequate quantities and ratios, though a strict alliance to the formula is not always necessary. The powdered form of herb would be the easiest to work with. Mix up a quanity of each herb in proper formula proportion and then weigh out approximately 90 grams or 3 ounces. This dose should be mixed into one or two quarts of warm water and then passed through the stomach tube.
Without the Vet present and his stomach tube, one can quickly infuse the mixture of herbs into a pint of water, similarly as one would make tea. Place the 3 ounces of herb in a a porous brewer's ball or some similar device and add boiling water. Let it infuse for 10 minutes like you would tea. After it has adequately cooled, draw into a large dose syringe and drench the horse with it making sure that the animal swallows the herbal tea.
The last method would involve making an actual tincture from the herb formula and dosing the colicky horse with the mixture much as you would the old fashion colic medicines of the past. This would be my favored route of administration and has the advantage of always being on hand for immediate dosing and repeated dosing--if that is called for. One can either use an alcoholic or DMSO solvent to dissolve the herbs which would also provide a concentrated way of administering the herbal formula.

Senate Republican Caucus Chair Jones Responds to Governor's State of the State Address
The State of the State Address was Governor Newsom's opportunity to provide Californians with clear, concise answers on the status of the high-speed rail project, the impact of AB 5 on independent California workers, the escalating homelessness crisis, the decline in home construction, and what he plans to do about the impending threat of drought our state faces once again.
Governor Newsom declared homelessness a national crisis, yet the number of homeless continues to decline in the rest of the country while California's continues to increase. The latest figures peg California's homeless population at more than 150,000, an increase of more than 16 percent from the prior year.
Last year the governor secured $1.2 billion to address homelessness. This year he proposes to spend another $1.1 billion from the General Fund.
The Legislative Analyst's Office recently wrote that Gov. Newsom's homeless plan "[fell] short of articulating a clear strategy for curbing homelessness in California."
What Governor Newsom presented today was another expensive vision, but, before he proposes more, where did last year's $1.2 billion go, and when can Californians expect to see results? The Governor used the terms "accountability" and "transparency." We applaud that – Republicans have been calling for accountability and transparency for years, so we're glad to welcome the Governor to the party. We hope he actually means what he says, because accountability has been lacking in Sacramento for years.
We also agree that mental health laws need reform, and, in fact, Senate Republicans have supported improvements to Laura's Law and the Mental Health Services Act in recent years. In addition, a 2019 Senate Republican bill (SB 640, Moorlach) proposed reforms similar to those the Governor described, but legislative Democrats blocked the bill from passing just last month. We hope Governor Newsom can persuade his fellow Democrats to be more open-minded to needed reforms, and we look forward to seeing more detail on his proposals.
We were somewhat dismayed, however, to hear the Governor applaud a homelessness program he started in San Francisco. While some individuals may have been helped, the ongoing homelessness crisis in San Francisco today strongly suggests that whatever they've done has been mostly a failure.
We would also be very curious to know why the Governor thinks homelessness has decreased in the rest of the country while rising 16 percent in California.
Housing Construction Dip
A year ago, Gov. Newsom told us he would implement a "Marshall Plan for affordable housing," avowing to create 3.5 million more housing units by 2025, an average of 500,000 units per year.
A year later and housing construction has actually decreased – for the first time in over ten years.
Californians expected to hear from the governor a plan to make it easier to build. A plan to make building a less expensive, lengthy and litigious process. A plan to streamline and reform CEQA so it's not just a cudgel deployed to delay or kill housing projects. A plan to lower permitting costs, and a plan to stop Democrats from piling on mandates that only increase the cost of building.
Rather than any specific plan, Californians got a bumper sticker: "It's time for California to say yes to housing."
With projected costs now more than doubling—from $34 billion in the 2008 plan to $80.3 billion in the just-released plan—there is a growing chorus of Democrats joining Republicans in pointing out that the new business plan will not deliver what was promised to California voters.
Californians needed to hear from Governor Newsom why he believes that continuing down this failed track is still the right thing to do.
Assembly Bill 5
Since AB 5 went into effect, rather than seeing increased flexibility and innovation for workers, we are seeing an increase in the outsourcing of California jobs to other states.
The Legislative Analyst's Office report estimated that nearly a million current independent workers (part- or full-time) are at risk of losing their jobs as freelancers thanks to AB 5.
The governor's answer to this Democrat-created jobs crisis—allocate $22 million for strict enforcement of this devastating new law.
Gov. Newsom completely ignored this critical issue affecting one million freelance workers. His speech could have included plans to repeal and replace AB 5 to preserve independent jobs in California and the livelihoods of entrepreneurial Californians. Where's his vaunted big-hearted empathy for California's one million independent freelance workers?
With the Sierra snowpack at 40% of normal, once again California is facing a dry winter without any meaningful snow or rain in sight.
Drought-like conditions devastate not only agricultural communities, but also increase the state's wildfire risk.
Why was this important issue completely ignored? Also, where is the water storage Californians were promised after the last five-year drought?

Seattle has become a dumping station for society's misfits. For the werewolves who don't have perfect control. The vampires that give into bloodlust. Those who are exiled there, Orphans, are not allowed to leave through threat of death.
Asire Thomas has lived in Seattle since she was sixteen. She knows how the city works and understands the dangers of breaking the rules. However, someone is attacking the city. She and the other Orphans fight back, but cannot stop them from kidnapping one of their children. Desperate to get her back, Asire calls in some help, knowing that if the wardens find out, it'll mean her death.
Loki Heron has spent the last four years of his life mourning the death of his beloved mate. He's thrown himself into work and taking care of his Family. When one of them asks him for permission to go to Seattle, he decides to help. The last thing he expects is to meet Asire, who stirs up all kinds of emotions he doesn't want to look too closely at.
The last thing Asire wants is to complicate her life with a relationship, especially after everything she's already suffered. None of it matters, though, because Loki attracts her attention like no other has before. Yet, the two of them need to set aside all those feelings to save the child. And do it all without anyone seeing them break the rules.
This was a fantastic urban fantasy/dystopian story! The characters have real depth and I loved Loki so much! I've read a Sarah Hall book before, so I knew I enjoyed her writing style, but I loved this one so much more than I thought!
The world Hall created is dark and scary and not someplace I'd want to live, but I loved it. Now I just have to wait patiently for the next book and to find out what happens next. There was a cliffhanger, so I have questions that need to be answered!
Also, it's on Kindle Unlimited right now, so grab a copy!
