What Does "low White Blood Cells" Mean?
Low white blood cell counts may occur when patients have conditions that interfere with bone marrow functioning or conditions like cancer, viral infections and autoimmune disorders, according to Mayo Clinic. Severe infections may also cause the body to use more white blood cells than it can produce.
White blood cells, also called leukocytes, help the body fight infections, notes MedlinePlus. Physicians order white blood cell counts as part of a complete blood count during routine exams, according to the American Association for Clinical Chemistry. The test may also be performed if an patient displays symptoms of an infection, a blood disorder or an impaired immune system.

ColumnsNewsOpinionWhy African Nations Support U.S. Anti-Racism Protesters
PilotnewsPilotAfricanJune 22, 2020
The U.S. protests following the police killing of George Floyd have spurred solidarity among many Africans, who have expressed widespread outrage against police brutality.
How are African nations reacting to the anti-racism protests in the United States?
The main reaction has been one of solidarity. African leaders in government, civil society, and creative communities have condemned the police killing of George Floyd and raised alarm about police brutality and systemic racism in the United States.
One of the earliest and most broadly representative statements was made by African Union Commission Chairperson Moussa Faki Mahamat, who recalled that the Organization of African Unity issued a resolution in 1964 condemning racial discrimination in the United States. He reiterated the African Union's rejection of the continuing discrimination against Black citizens. In addition, the UN Human Rights Council agreed to hold a debate on racism and police brutality after fifty-four African nations proposed such a discussion. The solidarity of African and African-American people dates back to the early days of fighting for independence from colonialism in Africa and for civil rights in the United States.

Africans are questioning whether the United States can maintain its moral position as a defender of human rights globally, given the recurring extrajudicial killings of Black Americans with police impunity. Some have expressed shock and sadness. Others have pointed out U.S. hypocrisy in not respecting human rights and protesters' constitutional rights of freedom of assembly and speech, values it often preaches to African governments.
Civil society and academic leaders have also called out their own governments for sanctioning excessive use of force and failing to hold police accountable for killing civilians. They lament that African dictators will feel emboldened by U.S. President Donald J. Trump's actions against demonstrators. They point out that people of African descent worldwide are often treated as if they do not deserve human dignity.
Because of their skin color, Africans in the United States have also been killed by police, including Guinean student Amadou Diallo, who New York police shot forty-one times in 1999, Sudanese refugee John Deng, who Iowa City police killed in 2009, Ugandan immigrant Alfred Olongo, who San Diego police shot in 2016, and so many others.
Police violence is not unknown to many African communities. Are any countries making efforts to reform police forces that could be replicated in the United States?
Police reform has not been a major focus of African governments nor the wider international community that provides them with some security training and resources. African policing practices grew out of the colonial system in which the police pacified and dominated Africans rather than protecting their human rights.
Recent protests have drawn attention to police brutality in Africa, especially as it relates to maintaining coronavirus lockdown and curfew orders. As a result, some countries, such as Kenya, Namibia, South Africa, and Uganda, have taken steps to curb police brutality and hold officers accountable for excessive use of force in the implementation of lockdown orders. These have included making statements that police should respect citizens' rights; investigating cases of abuse, especially when filmed; and charging officers with assault, though no trials have been held yet. However, these actions do not reflect lessons learned in either direction—Africa is not providing models for the United States and the changes discussed in U.S. cities and in Congress are not yet providing an example for other countries beyond the general focus on ending police brutality.
You served as U.S. ambassador to South Africa. What lessons could the United States learn from South Africa's struggle with racism?
No matter who holds power and whatever the race of the police officer or chief, there is a need to dismantle the structural inequality left from legacies of discrimination and to abolish the white supremacy that is at the root of it all. The main lesson is: a luta continua, i.e., the struggle continues!
South Africans' struggle against racism and African Americans' struggle for civil rights have often been mischaracterized as peaceful. Both movements were marked by extreme government-sanctioned violence largely carried out by police. Police and security forces were deployed to maintain the political and social order of legal discrimination and Black subjugation in order to perpetuate white supremacist ideologies.
With the advent of majority rule in South Africa, the African National Congress ruling party attempted to transform the police force, renaming it the South African Police Service and instituting reforms intended to build trust in the police. However, the legacy of apartheid remains today as economic power, access to services, and educational opportunities largely remain with the white population.
The criminalization of poverty continues today in South Africa just as it does in Black communities in the United States. Poverty and soaring unemployment are still found in largely segregated Black communities in South Africa. Policing is far more aggressive, brutal, and unaccountable in these poorer communities. In the United States, the heightened police suspicion of all Black people can lead to overreactions that quickly become deadly.

Like them or loathe them, Online Booking Agencies are an increasingly dominant feature of the modern hospitality landscape. We have 6 years' experience of working with them and can help you with your relationship with them too.
It is very difficult to get by these days without using at least one of the Online Booking Agencies (OBAs), sometimes known as Online Travel Agencies (OTAs), and the days of keeping a paper diary and getting high occupancy year after year from repeat customers is steadily diminishing even for the best run B&B's, guest houses and hotels.
Dealing with OBAs and OTAs often isn't easy and things aren't helped by the ruthless operating practices of these multi-national corporations and the extortionate commission rates they charge (we've heard of some small establishments paying as much as 23%!).
We've also seen a growing trend for some types of guests using such agencies to "play the system", for example booking for a couple and then arriving with children and expecting them to be accommodated within the original price shown; or trying to exploit loopholes in the way the agency has presented your property to bypass deposit and cancellation policies; or turning up and making an issue of the fact that your rural B&B does not provide a concierge and night porter!
We can help you navigate the complexity of dealing with these companies and the guests they supply, to maximise your benefit, whilst minimising your commissions.


Antalya Arena, the stadium that will produce its own energy thanks to its solar panels, is going to be opened at the end of September 2015. It is going to be the first stadium that produces its own energy in Turkey.
Antalya is accepted as the capital of the sport industry because approximately 1000 team come here to camp during the winter monhts. The stadium's capacity is 33 thousand people. The project manager of the stadium, Yaşar Aydın, says that the biggest difference of the stadium is its solar power plant located on the roof. This plant's strength is 1,4 megawatt in fact.
It is reported that the stadium that maintains air circulation is quite suitable for Antalya city's hot and humid water. The solar power system of the construction has been completed a month ago. The system is expected to maintain electricity to the mains afterwards.
The stadium is constructed as a perfect circle. The roof is 16 thousand square meters and 5 thousand square meters of it is constructed as transparent so that the grass can receive sunlight.
There will be high-level safety measures taken in the stadium and there will be 100 facial recognition cameras.
Antalyaspor has experienced many problems about the location. After the opening, the team will be able to play its games in this stadium.

Nearly 12 Million Texans Now Face Water Disruptions. The State Is Asking Residents To Stop Dripping Taps
Cities across the state cautioned residents on Wednesday which water supplies are dangerously low and could be unsafe to drink after numerous days f freezing temperatures & Texans dripping faucets to protect frozen pipes. They're urging Texas to boils tap water for drinking, brushing their teeth, cooking and making ice, as citizens struggle to keep power and heat as an unexpected winter storm sweeps the state. Showering & doing laundry are safe, but communities with water boil advisories are urging residents to conserve water as much as possible.
As per a Texas Commission on Environmental Quality spokeswoman, about 590 public water systems in 141 Texas counties had reported service delays, affecting 11.8 million people as of early Wednesday afternoon.
Although Dallas' water supply is stable, people in neighboring North Texas communities are being advised to conserve or boil their water.
"The water pressure is really low." Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner wrote Wednesday morning, "Please do not run water to prevent pipes from bursting." "If pipes have burst, turn off the water."" If you don't know how to turn off the water, please contact us. Today, water usage should be kept to a minimum. It's required for hospitals and firefighting."
Dripping faucets were the correct advice early this week, but now it's in people's best interests to "change gears and conserve water," according to Austin Mayor Steve Adler. Volunteers who could help transport residents from their home to warming facilities are also needed, according to the city.
Toby Baker, executive director of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, said water quality issues were caused by a lack of electricity, frozen & broken water lines, & people dripping faucet so much that water pressure was reduced. Baker also stated that testing will be required to show which the water is safe before boil orders are lifted. According to him, there are only 135 labs in the state which do that sampling, which means the boil notifications might last for a long time.
"It's unclear when water supplies will be supplied," said Michael Webber, an energy resource expert at the University of Texas at Austin. "Because the water system requires energy for treatment and pumping, electricity restrictions frequently have an influence on the water network."
However, given frigid conditions are forecast to last the rest of the week, burst pipes may still be a concern, according to Webber.
"The fact which temperature are expected to drop below freezing again raises the risk of water freezing in pipe, which can block water flow and cause pipe breakage," Webber explained.
The lack of drinkable water is a severe blow to Texas who are still dealing with power outages due to the cold.
Madie Leon Riley, a Pflugerville residents who had been without water since Monday, said she has no idea when her faucet will be able to turn on again — or when her toilets will be able to flush without melting the top snow in it to keep water flowing. Her mother & husband, who are currently residing with her, were also boiling snow for drinking water as a back-up.
"No food shops are open in our area, so there's no way to resupply," Riley, a 27-year-old writer, said The Texas Tribune. "Even if you're one of the few with a car capable of driving the miles it would take to obtain water, there's no way to restock."
A little "pencil-width" stream of water was reported at one Fort Worth home. A woman in the Houston region who live near the Medical Center said she got water back for approximately an hour yesterday, but it was brown and unfit to drink. Even after running their taps, a San Antonio resident stated their water froze.
More than 200,000 people in northern Fort Worth, and also Keller, Southlake, Roanoke, and other adjacent areas, were advised to boil their water on Tuesday due to power failures at water treatment plants.

Don't you just love it when a homeschooling lesson happens out of the blue and you don't have to plan it?! That is what happened to us the other evening. Hannah and Caleb were outside playing when Caleb comes rushing in yelling, "Mum! Mum! Come and look at this! QUICK!" Of course I had NO clue what I was going to look at but got a very pleasant surprise.
On a tree close by was this beautiful Luna Moth. (These moths are LARGE!) Okay, so I admit, I didn't know what kind of moth it was and am thankful for Wikipedia on my phone 🙂 This is the first time we had ever seen one in the wild/real life and there is a reason for that. According to Wikipedia, although Luna Moths are very common, they are rarely seen as they only live for seven days. They do not eat during this time and do not have mouths. Their one goal in that seven days is to find a mate. I'm pretty sure this one we saw was a male as its antennae were wide. Amazing creation!
Hope you enjoyed our quick but interesting science lesson.

"Late yesterday afternoon (Wednesday 6 th July) the Strata team met with advisors from the Department of Transport and representatives for High Speed Two (HS2). During this meeting we were informed that properties within our Shimmer development, which is based in Mexborough, will be affected by the proposed changes to the HS2 route should this updated plan be approved.
"We are shocked by this news. We have been working on site at Shimmer for a number of years and are immensely proud of the homes that we have built and the community which we have helped to create.
"As you can imagine, we are still trying to digest this information and there are still a number of questions that we are waiting to be answered. However, we are working closely with representatives to understand proposals so that we can be clear on what this may mean for our existing and future home owners.
"It is expected that the Government will launch a consultation on proposed plans in the autumn before a final decision is made about the route, and we can assure our customers that we will be doing all that we can to support them during this time.

Trump greenwashed his environmental record
Evan Vucci | AP
President Donald Trump speaks during an event on the environment in the East Room of the White House, Monday, July 8, 2019, in Washington.
By The Editorial Board. The BDN Opinion Section operates independently and does not set newsroom policies, or contribute to reporting or editing articles elsewhere in the newspaper or on bangordailynews.com. • July 12, 2019 11:39 am
Earlier this week, President Donald Trump gave a speech about the environment, touting how he valued "clear water" and public lands. It was a speech totally divorced from reality.
The Trump administration has scrapped dozens of environmental protections, pledged to remove the U.S. from a worldwide climate change agreement and tried to erase federal agency mentions of climate change. A speech full of falsehoods and nonsensical statements does not negate any of this.
"From day one, my administration has made it a top priority to ensure that America has among the very cleanest air and cleanest water on the planet," he said in the July 8 speech at the White House. "We want the cleanest air. We want crystal-clean water, and that's what we're doing and that's what we're working on so hard."
This doesn't mesh with the administration's actions and priorities.
According to numerous entities that are keeping track, including the Environmental & Energy Law Program at Harvard University and The New York Times, the Trump administration has or is in the process of rolling back more than 80 environmental regulations. Many of them involve easing or eliminating air and water pollution restrictions, often in the name of boosting fossil fuel production in the U.S., which is itself problematic because burning fossil fuels like oil and coal is a major contributor to climate change.
The administration, for example, announced a plan last year to open much of the U.S. coast to offshore drilling. That plan, which raised concerns about environmental degradation, has already been put on hold by a federal judge.
The administration also moved to ease regulations on oil and gas drilling on federal lands and the president issued an order in December 2017 dramatically shrinking two national monuments in Utah, which would allow resource extraction, including oil and gas drilling, on previously protected lands.
The administration also replaced rules meant to limit the emissions of methane, a powerful heat-trapping gas, from drilling operations on federal and tribal lands.
One of the first pieces of legislation Trump signed was a bill to eliminate an Obama-era rule restricting what coal mining companies can dump into streams. All of Maine's congressional delegation voted against the gutting of the stream protection rule.
In his speech, the president claimed that, since 2000, U.S. energy-related carbon emissions have declined "more than any other country on Earth." This is technically true, but needs context. Carbon emission levels in the U.S. did drop significantly from 2000 until 2017, according to the International Energy Agency. But those emissions began to climb last year, when there was a more than 3 percent increase in carbon emissions. The agency blamed coal burning to generate electricity for much of the global rise in emissions, even as emissions dropped in several European countries and in Mexico.
Other Trump claims this week were meaningless platitudes. The president said, for example, that the U.S. ranked number one in the world for access to clean drinking water. The U.S. is among dozens of developed countries, in Europe, Asia and North and South America and the Middle East, where 100 percent of citizens have access to clean drinking water. That access is obviously a good thing, but we're far from alone in this regard.
During his lengthy remarks, the president never mentioned climate change, which more than a dozen federal agencies recently warned will have dire consequences and huge costs if the U.S. doesn't quickly take action. Instead, the Trump administration is moving in the opposite direction with the president denying that climate change is real and championing policies to produce more energy from heat-trapping fossil fuels while also weakening or gutting regulations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
It all adds up to a distressing environmental record, despite the president's greenwashing speech.

In the depths of the Capuchin catacombs of Palermo in Sicily lies the dead body of a young girl in a wooden and glass casket. The name of that girl is Rosalia Lombardo, who tragically died due to pneumonia in 1920, at the age of two. The heartbroken father of Rosalia sought the help of an embalmer named Alfredo Salafia to preserve his child's body. The body was so amazingly preserved that Rosalia's body is intact over 100 years later. It is considered one of the best-preserved mummies in the world.
The body of Rosalia is famous among the 8,000 bodies present in these catacombs under the Capuchin convent. Rosalia's dead body has caught the attention of everyone, as people have noticed her eyelids move many times, seeming like she is blinking. The eyes slightly open and reveal the intact blue irises.
She lies in the coffin, glass-covered and on a wooden pedestal. She looks like a baby peacefully taking a nap, and although a blanket is placed over the coffin, the face is visible. Her curly blonde hair and a ribbon on it make her look like she is just sleeping. Indeed, she is nicknamed the "sleeping beauty".
Rosalia, an Italian child born on December 13 in the year 1918, died due to pneumonia as a result of the Spanish flu less than two years later, on December 6, 1920. Her father, Mario Lombardo, was so grief stricken that he asked an embalmer to preserve Rosalia's remains. Alfredo Salafia, a taxidermist, and a skillful embalmer, then mummified the dead body of Rosalia Lombardo with impressive skill, preserving her so well that even her internal organs were kept intact.
A century has passed, but her corpse still looks like the little girl is just dozing under the glass case of the casket. Indeed, it is quite difficult to gaze at the little body lying in the glass coffin and still not believe that the girl will awaken at any moment. The skin of Rosalia still appears very smooth, as if it is made of porcelain. Her golden blonde hair is very neatly tied with a beautiful silk bow.
In 2009, an MRI scan of the little girl was performed, to see the state of preservation of the interior of the body. The first 3D image of Rosalia revealed that all the organs of her body are perfectly intact even after so many decades.

Moreover, her striking crystal blue eyes are also visible underneath the blonde eyelashes. Rosalia's gaze is something that has attracted onlookers to Palermo for a hundred years. Thousands of visitors from across the world have come to see the girl, intrigued by the many reports that the eyes of the dead body are blinking.

People have witnessed that her eyes open slowly, and that the eyes seem to glisten due to the low lights in the catacombs. These blue eyes, like the rest of her body, are remarkably intact. Not only do visitors swear that the little girl's eyes blink, but many sequences of photographs seem to confirm that her eyelids open and close a little. This mystery of blinking eyes, and the well-preserved body is what makes Rosalia's mummy so fascinating.
The Mystery is Solved
The blinking mummy's mystery became famous across the world. People were curious to know what was causing the dead body to blink. Some believed that some supernatural force was at work, and that the mummy actually blinked. Many others thought that the eyes might blink due to the temperature changes inside the catacomb, which made her eyelids contract and thus produced the blink-like effect.

It was still a mystery until the curator of Capuchin catacombs, Dario Piombino-Mascali, proved a new theory. The Italian biological anthropologist was able to debunk the myths about Rosalia Lombardo.
According to Piombino-Mascali, the blinking eyes of Rosalia were just an optical illusion, caused when light from windows strikes her eyes at different angles. The changing direction of the light through the day makes Rosalia's eyes seem to open and close many times.
Piombino-Mascali made this amazing discovery in 2009 after some of the workers in the museum moved her coffin, which caused her body to shift a little bit. This shifting of her body allowed Piombino-Mascali to see her eyelids from a new angle. The anthropologist then realized that her eyes were actually never closed, and it had only been a trick of the light that made them seem so.

How was She So Perfectly Preserved?
Not only was the eye blinking mystery solved by Piombino-Mascali, but he also managed to track down the embalming formula Alfredo Salafia used to preserve the body of Rosalia in such impeccable condition. In 1933 when the Sicilian embalmer passed away, he wrote down the secret formula of the preservation. Piombino-Mascali, in trying to find out the formula, tracked down the living relatives of the embalmer.
Alfredo Salafia (Не указано, кто таков / Public Domain)
There he found Salafia's surviving records. When he uncovered this trove of the embalmer's papers, he stumbled upon the document where the embalmer recorded all the chemicals that were injected in the body of Rosalia.
The typical embalming procedures include the complete removal of organs. The empty body is then filled with natron salts, which desiccate it. But Salafia did something different. He made a small puncture and injected a mixture of zinc salts, formalin, glycerin, and salicylic acid. The combination of these ingredients worked to preserve the body.
The formalin wiped out all the bacteria, and the salicylic acid helped in removing any fungi present in the flesh. Glycerin prevented her body from desiccating or drying out. But the magical element was the zinc salts which gave Rosalia's body rigidity. The salts preserved her appearance perfectly, even preventing her nasal cavities and her cheeks from caving in.

Rosalia's body is now preserved in a new glass coffin, which is designed to block the growth of fungi or bacteria. The glass case also protects the body from any effects of light. Piombino-Mascali hopes that visitors will stop making any new stories about the little child mummy.

Several times over the years I've written here about the challenges of making photographs of iconic places, and iconic scenery, that are somehow different from the millions of other photos made in those places. I have lots of me-too photos made from those me-too locations, and in many cases those pictures are just what one would expect: yea, I was there, and I too made that picture. I'm pretty happy with a few of those pictures and don't regret taking the time and doing the work, and maybe I got fractionally better image quality, or nicer light, or a more interesting sky/background/foreground than others have. Or not.
But my favorite part of making outdoor photographs is the hunt for something else, the uncommon, less-seen view of an often-seen place. Making these kinds of pictures can be a lot of work. One must form the concept, or idea of a picture; determine the best time of day (or month or year) for the desired light or seasonal color or wildlife activity; think through compositional possibilities (which can determine equipment requirements); and more. A scouting hike or climb might be needed to learn some of these things, which can result in a trek in (or out) in the dark in order to be at the right place at the right time for the right light.
Sometimes the rewards are great, but one should expect to fail at least as often. That's horrible when, as sometimes happens, there's only one chance, ever, to get that photo. You win some, you lose some.
A not-uncommon view of Two Medicine Lake with sunrise lighting Sinopah Mountain. This was a rare morning with no wind and a glassy lake surface disturbed only by the landing of three mergansers.
In September (2018) Pat and I spent a few days in Glacier National Park's Two Medicine area, on the park's east side. We frequently camp there and enjoy the relative calm of the area. It's miles from the park's popular Going-To-The-Sun Road and the crowds and craziness of the park's west side. The drive over the continental divide from West Glacier is beautiful, and the east side has always seemed quieter and less crowded. However, the wildfires of 2018, in particular the Howe Ridge fire, caused the closing of the Sun Road from the park's west side at Apgar up to the Logan Pass visitors' center. That's more than half the length of the road, and it remained closed for over six weeks, shutting off access to popular trails, campgrounds, and the Lake McDonald Lodge. Among other impacts this concentrated the park's visitors on the east side, resulting in much more traffic, full campgrounds, and (for us, certainly) a less enjoyable experience. To avoid that we simply didn't go during summer, waiting instead for September when (we hoped) things would slow down, as they typically do once school starts. Turns out we were right; we arrived late on a Friday morning, found the Two Medicine campground largely empty and the fall color nearing its peak on a day of perfect fall weather.
Because we arrived early, and because setting up camp with our Little Guy camper is very quick and easy, we had most of the day for a much-needed walk in the woods. From the campground we walked around Two Medicine Lake. This is an easy and quite popular walk, and we encountered a number of folk on the trail. A perfect day for a walk, warm, clear and sunny, with a light breeze, and with beautiful fall color all around, we took our time and made an afternoon of the trail above the lake shore. About half-way around the lake we looked back toward the trailhead, now several miles away to the east. I could see a rocky hillside high above the campground, and wondered if I might be able to climb that prior to sunrise for a photo of the lakes and mountains to the west. It seemed worth a look.
We made our way back to our camp site, took a break to cool down, and then bushwhacked eastward and upward through the trees and brush to see if we could find the hill I'd spotted earlier. After the challenge of slogging through some deadfall and then an uphill thicket of huckleberry and other shrubs we broke out onto an open mountainside. I could clearly see my goal among open rock faces above. From there I had an expansive view of little Pray and larger Two Medicine Lakes, with Painted TeePee, Sinopah Mountain, Rising Wolf Mountain and others in the Lewis Range beyond. I had a lovely, colorful foreground and tall pines to frame a composition. Photographers live for this stuff.
Fog obscuring the mountains. This photo was made about ten minutes before the one below.
In mid-September sunrise is fairly late, a little after 7:00. To complicate things just a little bit, mountains east and somewhat south of our location would block the rising sun for a while, leaving Sinopah and friends in shadow until 7:30, give or take a few minutes. I started my climb up the hill about 6:30, with sufficient natural light to eliminate the need for my headlamp. As I climbed up above the trees and got my first view of the lakes below, and seeing that bowl filled with fog, I began to fret that my efforts would be in vain. I still had most of an hour before the sun would be high enough to make the scene; perhaps I'd get lucky and the fog would dissipate. Arriving at the hilltop I started looking for my composition. Not far down the hill from my location several tall pines pierced the skyline in ways I didn't like. I moved around the hillside but found I couldn't avoid the trees. Trees above me made climbing any higher pointless as they'd have blocked my view entirely. I did the best I could with it, settled on a location, and set up my tripod. I then had about forty minutes to wait. I sat listening, enjoying the pre-dawn silence and solitude of this Saturday morning.
The bands of fog passed below me, sometimes completely blocking my view of the lakes and mountains. There's always something to worry about, the chance that one's efforts will be wasted. Fortunately the light breeze kept the fog moving. It'd clear completely, and then roll in again. Bright sunlight touched the tip of Sinopah and lit Rising Wolf. I continued to wait as the fog settled into bands above the lakes and caught some of the warm sunlight. One hand on the bear spray, the other on the cable release, I made exposures now and then to check on the highlights. A few minutes before 8:00 the light had crawled down the mountains, lighting them with a warm glow. Those worrisome bands of fog became an glowing asset. You just never know. The result is what you see here.
The final photo, Painted TeePee at left, Sinopah Mountain center, Rising Wolf Mountain at far right. Shoreline trees reflect in the glassy lakes but they're a bit hard to see in this small jpeg.
I'd have liked a few nice clouds in the sky, but it wasn't to be. Try again Sunday morning? No, because Saturday afternoon became windy and cloudy, and a violent blast of rain showers came through around 2:00 am. That's an auditory experience in a small camper, and made me glad we weren't in a tent! Lighter rain continued through the morning. We hitched up the camper during that rain and left the park, and as we approached the continental divide drove through the heaviest downpour I've ever seen. West of the divide the sun shone, the roads clear and dry the rest of the way home.
Not all attempts to capture the uncommon view are successful, but now and then everything comes together as it did for me that September morning.

Combipres is also known generically as clonidine and chlorthalidone and is commonly used in the treatment of high blood pressure. Combipres is a combination medication. One medication (clonidine) relaxes the blood vessels and allows the heart to pump blood through the body with less resistance as well as slows the rate at which the heart beats. The other medication (chlorthalidone) reduces edema and swelling by increasing the body's salt and water which is lost in the process of urination. Chlorthalidone is a diuretic.
Combipres may affect patients differently and may cause worsening of some medical conditions. It is recommended that the prescribing physician assess a thorough medical evaluation prior to prescribing Combipres. Patients with a medical history which includes liver disease, a previously known allergy to sulfa based drugs, or the current use of an MAO inhibitor can not take Combipres. Patients with a medical history which includes kidney disease, diabetes, gout, heart attack, stroke, heart disease, pancreatitis, high cholesterol, high level of triglycerides in the blood, or a collagen vascular disease like systemic lupus may or may not be able to tolerate Combipres and may require special monitoring while undergoing drug therapy with Combipres, depending on the condition and the severity of the condition.
According to the American Food and Drug Administration, Combipres has been granted a pregnancy risk category B rating, which means that there is no expectation that Combipres will cause harm or birth defects in a developing fetus. However, Combipres does pass through the mother's breast milk and could cause harm to a nursing baby. Women who are pregnant should weigh the risks versus the benefits while women who are nursing should avoid taking Combipres. Combipres has not been approved for the therapeutic use in children.
Combipres should be taken exactly as it has been prescribed and patients should never alter their dose without a doctor's consent. Should a missed dose occur, the dose should simply be taken when it has been remembered unless it is nearing time for the next scheduled dose. If this is the situation, the patient should skip the missed dose and return to a normal dosing schedule with the following dose. Taking double doses or taking too much Combipres within a short period of time can lead to an overdose. An overdose is a medical emergency and if an overdose is suspected the patient should be directed to emergency medical treatment. An overdose might include symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, lightheadedness, seizures, weakness, drowsiness, lethargy, an increase in urination, and a reduced heart rate.
Side effects which may be quite severe may be associated with Combipres for a small percentage of patients. Side effects such as unexplained bruising, unusual bleeding, a lack of urination, chest pain, high blood pressure, low blood pressure, a very slow heart rate or an allergic reaction requires immediate emergency medical attention. Allergic reactions often subject the patient to facial swelling, hives, and difficulty breathing.
Most side effects experienced with Combipres are not as dramatic and may include tingling or numbness in the extremities, fatigue, dizziness, tiredness, insomnia, constipation, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, abdominal discomfort, muscle weakness, muscle cramps, impotence, sensitivity to light, blurry vision, excessive urination, and an increased thirst and dry mouth. These side effects can often be relieved to a tolerable level by reducing the dosage of Combipres where appropriate, although not all patients will benefit from this. Patients should always report side effects to the prescribing physician to help determine if they can be made more comfortable.
Other medication may react poorly with Combipres and may cause health complications. Patients should always advise their physician of any new medications, including over the counter medications and herbal remedies before taking them. Medications with known interactions with Combipres include medications which are used to lower cholesterol, tricyclic antidepressants, lithium, oral diabetes medications, steroid medications, NSAID pain relievers, and medication used in the treatment of heart conditions or to lower blood pressure.
