Cats very frequently suffer from dental problems. However, the good news is that we can do much to help and prevent these conditions in our pets. Oral or dental problems can cause pain and difficulty in eating which is detrimental to the cat's quality of life. If your cat seems reluctant to eat, is pawing at its mouth, growling at or backing away from its food or showing other signs of oral discomfort it is worth asking your vet to check its mouth.
Cats' teeth are very similar to our own in many ways. Just like us, cats have two sets of teeth in their lifetime. The first set of teeth come through shortly after birth and can be extremely sharp. When the kitten is between four and six months of age it will begin to lose these deciduous teeth and a set of permanent adult teeth will replace them. Most owners do not notice this happening but occasionally a tooth will be seen to fall out of the mouth and this should not be cause for alarm.
A cat's permanent teeth must last for its entire lifetime and it is worth considering helping your cat to look after them. Just like humans, cats teeth will last longest if they are regularly cared for and this includes brushing them (if possible) and regular dental check ups.
Some of the problems cats get with their teeth are due to an inappropriate diet; this is very similar to the situation in humans. Cats which are fed exclusively on soft tinned or sachet foods will not have the opportunity to crunch and chew food properly in the way wild cats would do when they chew and crunch through their prey. This chewing and crunching helps to remove plaque from the teeth before it has time to calcify and become too hard. Therefore it is a good idea to include some crunchy biscuits in your cat's diet as well as wet tinned food.
It is possible to care for our cat's teeth in several different ways. If you have a young kitten you could try to start brushing its teeth on a regular basis (either daily or every other day). Start by handling your kitten and gently putting your fingers in its mouth and touching the gums all around the mouth. When the kitten accepts this reasonably well you could purchase a finger brush and some special toothpaste formulated for animals. Do not use human toothpaste because cats do not like the flavour or the tingling sensation of these. You could use the C.E.T. toothpastes which are quite well tolerated by cats. There is also a gel (Logic) which helps to prevent the build up of plaque on the teeth; it may be easier to use this than try to brush your kitten's teeth if they do not like the brushing action since you can just apply a little of it around their gums after they have eaten.
If you have an older cat who is not used to having its teeth brushed it may be impossible to start now. So you could try alternative ways to help prevent dental problems. You can buy chews which help to reduce plaque and calculus build up (for example C.E.T. chews). You can also get special diets which may help (these are available from most vets). As a rule it may help your cat's teeth if some part of the diet is given in the form of hard crunchy biscuits.
When dental problems do arise it generally begins as a build up of plaque and calculus on the teeth. This leads to bad breath, gingivitis, gum recession, caries, erosive neck lesions and stomatitis; eventually teeth will start to fall out. Many of these conditions are painful and cats may start to paw at their mouth, back away from their food, not want to eat and perhaps salivate more than usual. If your cat starts to show any of these signs it would be wise to get your vet to check its teeth.
If your cat already seems to have problems with its teeth then it is possible to have this treated at your vet's. They will be able to examine your cat's teeth under general anaesthetic, clean them (using an ultrasonic de-scaler), polish them and remove any teeth which are affected by caries, fractures, neck lesions or where gingivitis is very severe around the tooth.
In general the more you can do to prevent dental disease in cats the better. Whether you have a young kitten or an elderly cat there is almost certainly something you could do to help keep their teeth in a good condition.
Is it fair to keep a dog outside?


There have been renewed claims of Newcastle interest in signing Andros Townsend, since last season ended.
Then on Sunday morning there were newspaper claims (see below) of Newcastle being in talks with Crystal Palace.
This report claimed that Palace were asking for a more realistic (in today's market!) £18m for the winger, rather than the £30m price tag that had been previously circulating.
Now, Sky Sports have confirmed that there has indeed been a Newcastle United approach for the winger.
The winger had the most productive spell of his career when at Newcastle, despite playing in a team at the bottom, Townsend managed four goals and two assists despite only 12 PL starts back in 2015/16.
That spell included helping NUFC to a final six game undefeated run under Rafa Benitez at the end of that season, Newcastle getting three wins and three draws, including a 5-1 demolition of Spurs, as well as a draw away at Liverpool after being two goals down, plus a draw at home against Man City after falling a goal behind.
Pete Graves says Rafa is still a 'big admirer' and Andros Townsend 'enjoyed his time' at Newcastle – but still 'some way to go' on a transfer being agreed.
"Can confirm that Newcastle United have made initial enquiries to Crystal Palace over the signing of Andros Townsend.
"The player was a huge success during his time on Tyneside.
"Rafa remains a big admirer.
"We're told Newcastle want to bring Andros Townsend back to the club.
Sunday morning brings reports that Newcastle United are (allegedly) in talks with Crystal Palace to buy back Andros Townsend.
Thursday brought surprise news, from a media source that is usually very good (see below), that Newcastle were talking to two Championship clubs about the possible sale of Matt Ritchie.
That report from The Telegraph's John Percy said that Newcastle were believed to be willing to trade if either Middlesbrough or Stoke would pay £15m.
Today's story sees claims that Andros Townsend could be available for around £18m, more realistic than the £30m figures previously rumoured.
However, I remember when there was previous talk of Andros Townsend coming back to St James Park, fans were fancying the idea of him on one side and Ritchie on the other.
So if there is any substance to these in and out transfer claims, I think Newcastle supporters would be asking why can't we have both?
With so far no apparent attempt to sign Kenedy, Newcastle need a new winger/wide man anyway, as neither Atsu or Murphy can be seen as first eleven regulars at this moment in time.
So selling Ritchie to fund Andros Townsend would be more of a one step forward and most of one backwards.
Comparing the two, I think Townsend is a more attacking winger who can create something out of nothing, a little like Kenedy, whereas Ritchie is more of your dependable hard working winger/wide man who doesn't really have the pace/trickery to unlock defences on a regular basis.
What we do know is that Ritchie is one of Newcastle's better players, so always risky to trade in any of them.
Hopefully we well see (incoming) transfer business pick up after Ki Sung-Yueng's arrival on Friday.
It might take some believing for many Newcastle United fans but the club have been in talks with two clubs to sell Matt Ritchie.
If this was from usual 'sources' then it would be easy to dismiss but the story comes from John Percy at The Telegraph and he has a very good record with his information on both transfer and other stories, including past ones regarding Newcastle United.
He states as fact that Newcastle have held talks with both Stoke and Middlesbrough regarding the sale of Matt Ritchie.
Percy states that Newcastle are considering letting the winger go if one of them is willing to pay £15m.
It would be a shock departure for NUFC fans and the presumption would surely be that a sale would only happen IF Rafa Benitez was happy for it to take place and IF he believed he would get that cash and be able to use it towards his own targets.
John Percy says Bournemouth are also interested in taking Matt Ritchie back and indeed a story in recent days claimed a possible swap deal could be on for Cherries striker Josh King.
Championship clubs are flexing their financial muscles these days and last summer Wolves paid £16m for a player, whilst Middlesbrough shelled out £15m on striker Britt Assombalonga.
Matt Ritchie turns 29 in September so bean counters would maybe see £15m as a good price to sell at but as always, it depends on what then happens to the money at Newcastle United.
Stoke and Middlesbrough have, unlike Newcastle, already been spending relatively significant money and this coming season the two clubs will receive significant parachute payments – Stoke will bank over £41m and Boro just over £34m.
As for Rafa Benitez, John Percy says that he 'open-minded' about letting Matt Ritchie go and that it will revolve around what he feels is needs in terms of signing priorities for himself.
It is worth pointing out that whilst Ritchie is popular with Newcastle fans, in the top tier with Bournemouth his figures dropped to 4 goals and 6 assists and then 3 goals and 5 assists for Newcastle in the Premier League last season.


Monopoly was a big favorite, as it continues to be today. We also wore out our Parcheesi game, The Game of Life, and Clue. In a family of five children, sometimes the games ended with ugly fights, but most of the time, the games went on for hours before a winner was determined–especially Monopoly.
In the early 80s, Trivial Pursuit became a brief favorite. However, when my Dad won every game, time and again, the rest of us lost interest.
I hated playing cards growing up, so my mother sweetened the deal by issuing M&Ms in order to bet. It taught us to carefully husband our quantity rather than gulping them all down. We played Crazy Eights, Spoons, and other kid-friendly games with names that I no longer recall. Again, these games often went on long after our usual bedtimes.
Mom would get a 1000 piece puzzle and work on it in the evenings. She kept it on the dining room table under the table pads (I don't know what to call them–they covered the whole table). We'd work on them night after night.
This was a favorite while there were still young children in our house, and we could slip into the smallest spaces. After a while, we just got too old to hide effectively. When before, we could squirm under the bed, after a point, there was a danger of getting stuck, even if you were skinny. And suddenly you realized just how dusty it was under there.
My Dad had a telescope that was old even when I was a child, and on autumn and spring nights, when it was clear, we would often go stargazing in the front yard. We never did this in the summer because the air was thick with mosquitoes.
I remember one time, when I was very young, Dad was excited because there was an eclipse of the moon. Thankfully, it was a clear night. However, I was terrified. The thought of something different happening to the moon was totally out of my realm of experience, and scared me enough to get me crying. However, Dad persevered and got me to look through the viewfinder. At which time, I was so relieved to see the moon that I stopped crying immediately, and didn't even notice it's odd color.
My Dad was an amateur photographer and had an 8mm movie camera and projector, and a 35mm camera. While they were functional (5 kids are hard on things like that), he filmed and photographed us at every occasion and once a year or so, we'd have movie night. I thought of this because I recently toted home all the slides and movies, along with the old movie projector and slide projector. I actually have a projector screen, so we'll be able to have movie night here as well, once nice dark night in late fall or winter.
We didn't have any electronic games in the 70s. Richer kids might have, but no one that I ever heard of had one until the 80s. We ended up reading a lot of books. I was a reluctant reader, but was still reading novels regularly by age 11.
I can't think of any. Why? Because you can still do all of the above today. Home movies and slides are now reborn in the digital sense, and you can easily play both on your TV. It's hard to see the advantage of the old tech, except maybe in atmosphere. There's nothing like the smell of an old slide projector burning … something. Dust, I hope. Along with popcorn, it somehow adds to the experience.
When you were growing up, what did you family like to do on a boring Saturday night?
We did play lots of Uno, but that was after I left home, and went home on vacation. As for records, my dad liked Classical, my mother liked her Irish music, and we kids listened to the likes of the Carpenters. We listened to records in our room, on a little white record player.
I remember Dungeon–the board game, right?
Funny! That must be how you honed your imagination.

Q: Xauthority is missing the display number When I run on my local machine (Ubuntu 18.10) xauth list the output is not showing the display number:
$ xauth list
c7h/unix:  MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1  37bb744d95232b4e29aea1320b0a0e2d
#ffff#633768#:  MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1  37bb744d95232b4e29aea1320b0a0e2d

My env $DISPLAY variable contains the value :1:
$ echo $DISPLAY
:1

So I was expecting to see 1 after c7h/unix::
c7h/unix:1  MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1  37bb744d95232b4e29aea1320b0a0e2d

The value is also missing if I manually parse the file inside the env variable $XAUTHORITY with Python:
if filename is None:
    filename = os.environ.get('XAUTHORITY')

if filename is None:
    try:
        filename = os.path.join(os.environ['HOME'], '.Xauthority')
    except KeyError:
        raise XConnectionError("$HOME not set, can't find ~/.Xauthority")

try:
    xaf = open(filename, 'rb')
    raw = xaf.read()
    xaf.close()
except IOError as err:
    raise XConnectionError("Can't read ~/.Xauthority: %s" % err[1])
    return []

n = 0
entries = []
try:
    while n < len(raw):
        family, = struct.unpack('>H', raw[n:n + 2])
        n = n + 2

        length, = struct.unpack('>H', raw[n:n + 2])
        n = n + length + 2
        addr = raw[n - length: n]

        length, = struct.unpack('>H', raw[n:n + 2])
        n = n + length + 2
        num = raw[n - length: n]

        length, = struct.unpack('>H', raw[n:n + 2])
        n = n + length + 2
        name = raw[n - length: n]

        length, = struct.unpack('>H', raw[n:n + 2])
        n = n + length + 2
        data = raw[n - length: n]

        if len(data) != length:
            break

        entries.append((family, addr.decode('utf-8'), num.decode('utf-8'), name.decode('utf-8'), data))

How can I figure out which of the auth is the one associated with the value reported by $DISPLAY?

We were both speakers at the same convention presenting on the same day-but what a difference.� I am tall, while she's short. I am a magnetic speaker-I draw people in with stories and examples. She's a dynamic speaker- humorous and vivacious. We both were hits-the audience loved us.
How could we be so different onstage but the same in capturing the audience's attention? Each of us was authentic and real on stage. Audiences know when a speaker is "pretending" and they know when a speaker is "real."
Have you ever been to a party and you met someone who seemed to be putting on a front and not being real with you? Your intuition told you something was wrong, even if you weren't sure what it was. Audiences are the same. Their intuition, collectively, tells them that something isn't right with the speaker.
Why do people feel the need to be someone other than who they really are? Because they aren't comfortable in their own skin. For some reason, they are afraid that who they really are isn't good enough so they try to be someone else.
Let me give you an example. If I tried to be funny, I would end up with mud on my face. Worse yet, the audience might start throwing tomatoes at me! I must accept that I will never be known as a humorist.
That is not to say I don't have humor, it's just that my humor is the natural progression of telling a story, then giving a twist at the end that is different than what they are expecting.
On the other hand, she would have looked as if she were in a straightjacket if she hadn't gestured continually with her hands. Her tendency was to laugh at her own jokes, and then the audience followed her lead. She was having fun and that enthusiasm was contagious.
Each of us had a different style. What is your natural style?� What are you confident in portraying to your audience? What are your best attributes and strengths? What will the audience love about you?
As a speaker, each was curious to hear the other's presentation and we both "analyzed" what the other was doing while she was on stage. We can always learn from others-both what we do well and what we can improve.
Tony Robbins, one of my mentors, states that each person we meet knows more than us about some things and we know more than them about other things. With that in mind, I listened to my colleague speak asking what I could learn from her presentation.
More than anything, I learned that by being comfortable with yourself, confident in your topic, and creative in your message-you will "wow" your audience, whatever your style.
What Do I Talk About?Start by asking yourself three questions:1. Who is my audience? (What do I know about the corporate culture or collective personality of the group?)2.
Being a guest speaker in front of the right audience can be an excellent way to attract new business. Many clubs, organizations, conventions, and trade shows seek guest speakers who can provide useful information to their audience.
Whether going for the gold or giving a presentation, the beast of performance anxiety rears its ugly head. Your hands are clammy, your knees wobbly and your heart is pounding.

International Charitable Giving
von: Clive Cutbill, Alison Paines, Murray Hallam
OUP Oxford, 2012
Recent years have seen increased interest in international philanthropy and cross-border charitable giving. A new generation of high-net-worth individuals, keen to dedicate part of their wealth to philanthropic purposes, and an increasingly global charitable landscape raise a range of complex issues. What is a 'charity'? Does that definition vary from one jurisdiction to another? Are domestic charities taxed differently to foreign organizations? Written by a team of experts from around the world, International Charitable Giving provides a detailed and much-needed treatment of the interaction between the various legal systems at play in this complicated area of the law. By untangling the many issues facing practitioners, it facilitates clear and comprehensive advice to donors and recipients alike. The book provides a comprehensive picture of the most important issues relevant to charitable giving and philanthropy worldwide, including taxation, issues surrounding money laundering and terrorist financing, and the role of EU Law. Alongside a thorough discussion of the broader issues impacting on charitable donation, the book includes a range of chapters on specific national legal systems, including Switzerland, Israel, and Hong Kong, as well as a chapter on Islamic Law. Each of thejurisdictions has been selected because of its tradition of charitable giving and relevance to the transfer of charitable monies internationally, as well as its importance in relation to the jurisprudence in the field. Expertly written, these chapters provide a detailed survey of the laws, regulations,and policies governing charities and their activities in the relevant jurisdiction, together with an examination of the procedures to be followed for tax-efficient transborder charitable giving.

Burberry is one of the most characteristic and recognisable English brands. Its history began in 1856 when Thomas Burberry had opened his first boutique in Basingstoke, Hampshire County. The brand quickly gained international popularity and became a respected fashion house selling exclusive clothing and accessories for women and men. Waterproof and breathable Burberry coats were worn on the big screen by such world stars as Humphrey Bogart, Audrey Hepburn and Meryl Streep.

Burberry scarf - accessory that had conquered the world
There is no doubt that Burberry is a luxury brand and its secret lies in the universal character of every element of clothes. The classic trench coat, famous scarf and classic Burberry shirt look great not only on Hollywood stars, but also on every common citizen of the rainy London. Regardless of is the Burberry coat worn by the British queen or by a rock star, it always make people look elegant and special. The secret of this British brand probably lies not only in more than a hundred years of history and consistency of the brand, but also in the constant reinterpretation of women's and men's fashion classics. Burberry coat and scarf have been in fashion for decades, but each year we can still see the new versions of them, adapted to the needs of modern customers. It also proves that classicism never stops to be fashionable and useful and, as one can see, Burberry understands this pretty well. This British elegance can also be seen in designs of
Victoria Beckham's, who has clearly felt in love with Burberry's simple, classic and luxurious style.
Burberry wristwatches - elegant and classy
The famous check, which was initially used only as a lining for trench coats, in the 1960s became the most recognisable element of the Burberry brand. Since then, this pattern has always been present not only as the lining, but also on the above mentioned scarves and other accessories like Burberry bags or watches, that, thanks to this feature have become elegant, but not formal, perfect for everyday use, as well as for business outfits. Also Burberry wristwatches without the popular check are available, and regardless the pattern or its lack they still refer in a refined way to the women's and men's fashion classics.
Burberry bags - universal and practical designs
Another flag product of the brand are women Burberry bags, men backpacks and bags, which for the most part are also signed with a popular check or clearly refer to the brand's recognisable colour scheme. Women's Burberry bags combine universal character and practical cut with exquisite design, that not only perfectly matches to the classic trench, but also fits well with favourite jeans.
Burberry perfume - scent of the big city
The brand's image is complemented by men and women Burberry fragrances, which have become a synonym for British metropolis. Brand's perfumes are fresh and energetic and at the same time they perfectly fit into the brand's DNA, which is based on classic content and universal character. This what the fragrances from Burberry really are and that is why they are so popular - everyone receive them in their own way and gives them own original character.
The Burberry fashion house was originally established in the UK, but its universal character and natural elegance quickly exceeded the borders of the country and became the most recognisable brand qualities. Burberry presents a luxury, classic, modern, elegant and timeless style. How is it possible that one brand combines so many seemingly contradictory features?

Despite the cliché "worse than a rabid wolverine" there has never actually been a documented case of a rabid wolverine. Until now.
Veterinarian Dr. Kimberlee Beckmen with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game completed a necropsy of a wolverine that was found dead on the North Slope. The Centers for Disease Control confirmed it was infected with a strain of arctic fox rabies.
The story starts in June, when state wildlife biologists Lincoln Parrett and Patrick Jones were flying in a helicopter about 25 miles northwest of Umiat. They were visiting sites where caribou calves were killed by predators, part of caribou survey and research work, when they spotted the dead wolverine. It was completely intact and had not been scavenged. Parrett called it a serendipitous finding.
Beckmen had previously put the word out to biologists that she wanted to examine dead wolverines if they became available.
"I've been asking for them specifically because I want to learn more about their diseases, and the parasite loads of wolverines," she said.
Beckmen also saw no obvious cause of death. The wolverine had only a single minor injury.
Beckmen said the wolverine was in estrous when it died, and in that area, that usually occurs in May, implying the animal had died a month earlier and frozen shortly afterward. Another clue reinforced this: the wolverine had a goose egg in her stomach, and by June geese eggs have hatched.
In addition to studying parasites, Beckmen is very interested in rabies. The Division of Wildlife Conservation has a disease surveillance program and is certified to test wildlife for rabies using a new screening method that is simpler than the traditional method. The Department of Health and Social Services' Section of Epidemiology (the Alaska State Virology Laboratory in Fairbanks) generally tests for rabies if there has been a potential exposure of a person to rabies, typically a bite. Animals may also be submitted for testing if there is community concern, if a domestic animal has been exposed, or if there is reason to believe the virus is appearing in a new region.
Rabies in Alaska is endemic (meaning always present) in a small number of arctic fox only along Alaska's coast but spills over frequently to red fox, sometimes in epidemic numbers of cases. The highest number of cases in foxes occurs in late winter, especially in the year after a high lemming/vole population explosion, which leads to increased fox numbers. An outbreak occurred in 1990 and affected red fox in Bristol Bay and the North Slope, arctic fox in Atqasuk and Barrow, and wolves around Ambler.
Rabid foxes will enter villages and attack dogs left out on chains or running free, and it is mainly from the dogs that people are at risk. Thus, all dogs need to be vaccinated to protect people from fox rabies.
After foxes, wolves are the animal in Alaska most likely to attack dogs or people when rabid. In two separate incidents in 1942 and 1943, a Native hunter in Noorvik and a 10-year-old boy in Wainwright survived attacks by rabid wolves and later died from rabies.
Since 1971, more than 100 wolves have been tested and of those, 24 have been positive for rabies. A pack of nine wolves was found dead in Northeastern Alaska during the spring of 1985, and five of the animals tested positive for rabies. In 1977, biologist Richard Chapman was studying a pack of 10 wolves in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and observed one member fighting with his packmates. The next day that wolf approached him at his camp behaving in an increasing threatening manner; he shot it and it tested positive for rabies. A month later he found six dead wolves near his camp, two were tested and both were positive for rabies.
Regions of Alaska where fox rabies is considered to be endemic - always present at some level.
One of the most recent incidents was in 2007: a pack of wolves attacked dogs in a dog yard in Marshall and killed six. One of the wolves was killed and it tested positive for rabies. Unfortunately, many dogs in the village that were exposed to the wolves had not been vaccinated for rabies and had to be killed to protect the village.
Beckmen said ADFG is now capable of testing more wildlife and is putting a concerted effort into learning if rabies is present in Alaska besides the North Slope and western coastal areas. In the past two years Beckmen has tested more than 600 animals, including hundreds of foxes and more than 100 wolves, 19 bats and four wolverines – including the recent find. Beckmen has also tested road-killed moose that were also being checked out for Chronic Wasting Disease.
In many cases the animals are found dead, hit by vehicles, killed in defense of life and property, killed in predator control programs or donated by trappers. "We found 2.8 percent positive for rabies, but these were all foxes except the one wolverine," she said.
Beckmen said that in addition to the disease surveillance program, ADF&G is involved in collaborative research with Dr. Karsten Hueffer at the University of Alaska Fairbanks to examine rabies transmission dynamics with the expanding red fox populations displacing arctic fox in a changing climate.
More than 330 trapper-killed "normal" foxes from the Bethel area were examined for rabies and six were positive (1.8%).
"We want to increase trapper awareness about rabies, and make sure they wear gloves when skinning, and if they cut themselves, contact their health care provider so the fox's head can be submitted to the Department of Health and Social Services for testing," Beckmen said.
All mammals are considered susceptible to rabies but not all are efficient transmitters of the virus. The amount of the virus in an animal's saliva is a big factor - some species of mustelids (weasels) and most rodents tend to shed virus in saliva at a lower rate than other species such as bats, foxes and dogs.
Rabies has been found in animals that people don't usually associate with the disease such as caribou, reindeer, white-tailed deer, river otter, domestic and wild cats, polar bear and black bear. This fall, there were two separate cases of aggressive rabid beavers reported in Virginia.
"Rodent bites aren't usually considered a risk and people aren't usually given vaccinations even when the rodent isn't tested. However, the recent beaver attacks remind us that rodents do get it and die from it," Beckmen said.
Not every animal that gets exposed to the rabies virus becomes infected. The incubation period can range from months to years, so the animal may die of something else, may not have gotten large enough virus dose and so was able to mount an immune response, may have already had antibodies from previous exposure or vaccination, or the species seems to be resistant (but none are wholly immune) to certain strains. However, once clinical signs appear, rabies is fatal.
The early symptoms of rabies include fever, headache, and general weakness or discomfort. As the disease progresses, more specific symptoms appear and may include insomnia, anxiety, confusion, slight or partial paralysis, excitation, hallucinations, agitation, increased salivation, difficulty swallowing, and hydrophobia (fear of water). Death usually occurs within days of the onset of these symptoms. In the U.S. the number of deaths from rabies has declined from more than 100 per year in the 1800s to just one or two a year. Fatalities typically occur in people who fail to seek medical attention, usually because they were unaware of the exposure.
Arctic fox. Rabies in Alaska is always present in a small number of arctic fox only along Alaska's coast but spills over frequently to red fox, sometimes in epidemic numbers of cases.
The disease becomes fatal when the virus reaches the brain. So the progression depends on where a person has been bitten, the disease can progress much faster if someone bitten on the face than on than foot. There are different strains of rabies, named for the natural host that sustains it in the ecosystem or where it originally evolved. In the Lower 48, most rabies is either skunk, raccoon or bat rabies.
Some strains of rabies are more virulent than others, with the arctic fox strain endemic to Alaska being of low virulence and the red bat rabies (detected in a Keen's long eared bat on Prince of Wales Island in 2006) being highly virulent. It is notable that the only other case of rabies in a bat in Alaska was in 1993, in a little brown bat near Ketchikan which was infected with a highly virulent silver-haired bat rabies strain. That risk is another reason why it is critical that people do not pick up or try to 'save' bats that appear to be sick or can't fly.
Worldwide, rabies kills about 55,000 people annually, and according to the Centers for Disease Control, in about 99 percent of the cases it is transmitted by dogs. About 31,000 people die from rabies each year in Asia and about 24,000 people in Africa. Most of the deaths in Asia are in India - 20,000 people a year die from rabies in India, which passed a law in 2001 that forbids killing stray dogs. The New York Times reported in an Aug. 6, 2012, article that tens of millions stray dogs roam free in India, mostly feeding on garbage, and bite millions of people each year.
In the United States, animal control and vaccination programs have effectively eliminated the dog rabies strain. In several countries, including Australia and Japan, rabies carried by terrestrial animals has been eliminated entirely.
The true dog rabies virus has been eliminated in the US, but dogs are still susceptible to the other rabies viruses and can effectively transmit rabies. Current legal requirements for vaccinating dogs against rabies are to protect people from getting wildlife rabies transmitted by the dog.
Rabies manifests in two different forms, called furious rabies and dumb rabies. Animals with furious rabies exhibit aggressive behavior including attacking inanimate objects and biting anything that moves. The dumb form (named when the term was commonly used to mean speechless) is less dramatic but more common especially in horses and cows. The cow may appear to have something caught in its throat but that is actually a paralysis that prevents it from swallowing saliva. Wild animals infected lose their natural fear of people; appear lethargic and wobbly or partially paralyzed.

Less Than Zero
Lunchtime News Wednesday 24th March 2021
Covid figures for the Alpes Maritimes - Public Health France has reported seven new deaths linked to Covid-19 in hospitals in the Alpes-Maritimes. Since the start of the epidemic, the coronavirus has killed 1,703 people in the department (1,260 in hospitals, 443 in nursing homes).
The number of patients hopsitalised fell slightly on Tuesday with 679 patients. In the intensive care unit, 112 patients were hospitalized with the occupancy rate of intensive care beds still close to saturation at 82.7%.
According to Covidtracker, the incidence rate - which corresponds to the number of people tested positive over seven days for 100,000 inhabitants – stands at 404 and continues to decline. The number has been falling steadily for three weeks after reaching 637 on February 23rd. It is however still far from the regional average of 346.
Var region - Meanwhile in the Var since the start of the pandemic Covid has killed 1,534 people (428 in nursing homes, 1,106 in hospitals). The occupancy rate of intensive care beds remains very high. It was this Monday 22nd March at 91.2%. According to Public Health France, the incidence rate is 320 for the period from March 8th to March 14th.
Head of Medef questions government figures - The head of Medef Geoffroy Roux de Bézieux, has this morning said that the French government "pointing the finger at companies is unfair and not reasonable". Speaking to French media this morning the head of Medef claimed that the Prime Minister declaring that "29% of Covid contaminations occur in companies is not correct". According to him, after calling the Pasteur Institute to confirm the figure, he was told that of "the 45% of people who were questioned as to where they were contaminated only 15% confirmed that it was at work".
Under the current health protocol companies in France are obliged to put new health rules in place to curb the epidemic, including a minimum of 8 m² of space for each employee, including in company canteens.
Geoffroy Roux de Bézieux went on to say that "the key to the health crisis is vaccination, and France has fallen behind," he added that it's a disappointment especially if we compare it to the UK and the situation within the European Union". He concluded that month after month, this delay between England and Europe widens, and calls into question the functioning of the EU".
Minister calls for police officers to be vaccinated along with teachers - The Minister of the Interior, Gérald Darmanin, has spoken in favour of police officers being vaccinated as soon as possible along with teachers. The minister said that officers "should not wait any longer" and should be part of a vaccination campaign planned for the end of April for teachers in France.
Easter cancelled - French Prime Minister Jean Castex, has said that "no exceptions are to be made on Covid restrictions over the Easter period "with family meals and egg hunts being discouraged. However religious services will be maintained. Meetings between people from different households are not recommended as well as the traditional egg hunts which delight the young and the old alike.
Two French ministers hospitalised with Covid - France's Minister of Culture Roselyne Bachelot and Minister of Employment Elisabeth Borne, who both tested positive for Covid, have been hospitalized. The condition of 74 year old Bachelot, Culture Minister, is reported to be "stable and does not cause concern". Meanwhile 59 year old Elisabeth Borne's condition is reported to be "improving".
Landslide - A landslide on the road between Fontan and Tende has led to a road closure in the valley. The landslide on the D6204 occurred this morning and meant that traffic was cut off in both directions towards Tende and trains are also cancelled. A team of specialists were on site in order to reopen the road quickly and securely.
28-year-old launches fundraiser to help 75-year-old delivery man - A resident from Montpellier has launched a fundraiser to help a 75-year-old delivery man. More than 6,000 euros have already been collected from an online kitty to help a retiree forced to deliver meals by bike in Montpellier to meet his needs. Lisa who created the fundraising explains that "having crossed paths with the elderly man working late one night, it reminded her of her grandfather" and she wanted to help. The 75-year-old delivers meals for Deliveroo as extra income to add to his small retirement income and look after his disabled wife.


I, for one, really like having cards available to reference rules. Back in my day we spent 8+ hours on a single game of Warhammer, and at least half that time was spent flipping through massive rulebooks. The other half was spent arguing and high-fiveing. I miss those days.
In Relicblade: adventure battle game Characters, Upgrades, and Relics have cards that describe their various attributes. This past couple of weeks I've been working on the rule-book, but in a game that uses cards only the core rules are in the book while the rest live on the cards. Yesterday and today I've had the pleasure of working on the card designs. I'm going for an evocative hand drawn style on these cards even though all the individual assets are actually clean vector graphics.
I'm a big fan of simplicity, so getting everything on the character cards was a balancing act. That said, I feel pretty good about the outcome. Design is kind of like a game. You have information that you need to convey, and at the same time you have specific constraints. It's a bunch of fun.
The Upgrade Cards are pretty much always used in conjunction with a character card. So making sure the design works well with the character card was the main consideration. I decided to stick the action bar at the bottom so It could easily stack under the Character Cards.
In the game, Relics are upgrades the characters can pick up over the course of the battle. Because Relics are unique and powerful I didn't want them to be hidden away beneath a character card. Your opponent should be aware of which character is running around with a reality altering device, and what said device does! You can see how the cards work together below.
The last step was to create a key to reading the cards. Creating a million-billion layers in photoshop I was able to put together the Card Anatomy illustration. These components are still in beta, but I'm proud to give you this little insight into Relicblade!

Q: Missing namespaces when downgrading to asp.net 4.0 I just had to downgrade my ASP.Net 4.5 application to an ASP.Net 4.0 application, because our servers don't support 4.5. The way I downgraded it was pretty simple:
Project -> Properties -> Application -> Target Framework

When it finished doing stuff, I restarted the solution, tried to start debugging, but it stopped right after I started debugging, giving me first some errors (which say they can't find some namespaces) for a fraction of a second and after the errors disappeared it gives me 127 warnings that all look like this:

Now I know what the problem is here, but I don't know how to solve this issue.. Does anyone know how to fix these warnings?
Thanks in advance
INFO
I'm using Visual Studio 2015 Community

A: Remove your current references to the Dlls in question and them add them again, it should load the correct versions of the Dlls. Because you had references to the 4.5 versions and then changed the project target the references are invalid now because they are build against a higher version framework. Changing the projects framework version target does NOT update the references in most cases

A: It is actually not that easy when it comes with ASP.NET. You have to go through all web.config(s) and downgrade referenced libraries. If its new project, just create new ASP.NET on .NET 4 and compare its web.config(s) with yours.


Bergantz's interests are in the quantitative treatment of geologic transport processes at a variety of scales and in a variety of settings. The physical petrology group has as its main emphasis the physics of magmas, hydrothermal systems, metamorphism and eruption processes. The students develop and use a diverse suite of tools to address these systems: numerical and laboratory experiments, geological and geophysical measurements, and the theoretical foundations of physical chemistry and continuum mechanics. All students are encouraged to do fieldwork and to develop transport models in a sensible geological context.
The projects currently underway address the geological expression of magmatism at different crustal levels. These studies provide complementary elements for the view that the generation of petrologic diversity and magmatism is a crustal-scale process. To this end, the group is working on tying together the process of melt generation and transport in the deep crust and mantle, the ascent and hybridization of magmas in the mid-crust and the assembly and life-cycles of volcanic systems. One of the most challenging aspects of this program is identifying elements from the geological record that are diagnostic of the time and length scales of magmatism.

Farmers would suffer cash losses as a result of the ravaging flood, a post harvest specialist, Prof Lateef Sanni, has said.
He said many farmers are at risk of losing their crop.
Sanni, who is Deputy Dean, College of Food Science and Human Ecology, Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB), said however, that there is no data to help estimate crop losses. He said but that food production is expected to drop due to the massive flooding in the country.
Heavy rains fell across much areas of the southern part of the country and left large portions of corn and other crop fields submerged.
Following this and poor water drainage system, low lying areas were water logged. The same is true of businesses and entrepreneurs operating in the northern part of the country, as they have suffered severe losses as a result of the rains.
The business community, the government and farmers continue to be seasonal victims of the floods, with the agricultural sector heavily affected, as majority of the communities in the north depend on farming.
The states, considered food baskets, are witnessing constant rainfall. As a result, it is expected that food insecurity will further increase in the affected areas.
Sanni said it is critical for the government to act quickly to allow producers to make plans for the future. In many of the affected areas, agriculture is the major economic driver and it affects the long-term economic prospects of the farmers and communities.
He called on the authorities to implement an action plan to alleviate mounting losses facing farmers as a result of the wide spread flooding.
The effect of the flooding is being felt deeply across the south. Cross River, Delta and Akwa Ibom, are at the top of the list of devastated areas, with hundreds of acres of farm lands, affected.

Q: How to set read-only dmg background picture in Mountain Lion? Until MacOS 10.7, I used to put a png file in a read/write dmg, then I set it as its background picture, then I hided it and converted the dmg to a read-only one. Everything just worked.
Now, in MacOS 10.8, if I do the exact same thing, when I open the read-only dmg it opens the read/write one too. It looks like it "knows" the original background picture is on the read/write dmg. Even if the read-only one has the same image in its contents.
How can this be prevented?

A: You're right. The original disk image is opened when opening a newly converted read-only image.  However, I found that if you delete the original read-write disk image, Finder (actually, DiskImageMounter) has no problem mounting the read-only image without its original.  DiskImageMounter itself is not really responsible for the behavior you are talking about; if you look at your read-only image's .DS_Store file in TextEdit, you'll see (amidst very obscure symbols) your original image's name and file path in many places.  This is just built-in behavior of Mountain Lion, I suppose.  Unfortunately, there are no workarounds except for deleting the original image (and emptying the Trash) because Disk Utility is ultimately responsible for the creation of the DS_Store file, and the image created is read-only.

A: So, I FINALLY figured it out...
Instead of deleting the rw disk image, it is enough to rename it.

You've Got to Do a Damn Sight Better than That, Buster
Working with Berenice Abbott 1972–1991
By Hank O'Neal.
An informal, rollicking memoir of Berenice Abbott by her close friend and collaborator
Hank O'Neal met Berenice Abbott in 1972 at the coffee shop of a Holiday Inn on 57th Street in New York City. After a two-hour meeting Abbott suggested he should visit her if he was ever near Moosehead Lake in northern Maine. In the fall of 1973 O'Neal did just that, spending a long weekend with Abbott at her circa 1810 stagecoach inn. They hit it off and at the end of the stay she said, "If you ever get a real camera come up here and I'll teach you how to use it." In early 1974 he bought an 8x10 Deardorff camera and in the summer of that year headed back to Maine. The first and only lesson lasted about 30 minutes: Abbott told him to photograph the antique doorknocker on her front door. After almost an hour she returned to check on his progress and said, "You've got to do a damn sight better than that, buster"—not only sound advice but a great title for a book.
Abbott and O'Neal became close friends and worked together on books, exhibitions, catalogs, films, lectures, portfolios, the sale of her collection, and even social gatherings, with Abbott as the maid of honor at his wedding. You've Got to Do a Damn Sight Better than That, Buster is an informal, rollicking memoir based on 19 years of personal observations by O'Neal of one of the most accomplished American artists of the 20th century.
Born in 1940, Hank O'Neal has published more than 20 books on various subjects, mostly related to photography and music. In the early 1970s he met Berenice Abbott, with whom he worked closely, as well as André Kertèsz, Walker Evans and the other living Farm Security Administration photographers who were all to influence him. O'Neal published his first book in 1973; in 1976 followed the acclaimed A Vision Shared (reissued by Steidl in 2018). He is coeditor with Ron Kurtz of the ongoing Berenice Abbott Project at Steidl, including Berenice Abbott (2008), The Unknown Berenice Abbott (2013) and Paris Portraits 1925–1930 (2016).

Chevron Hits Out at British Documentary on Oil Pollution in Ecuador
June 20, 2015 By Jason Leave a Comment
Company upset over short film that uses Pablo Neruda's famous poem on how US corporations treated Latin American countries as empty 'banana republics'
The US oil giant Chevron has attacked the British makers of a short art-house documentary film about oil pollution in the Ecuadorean Amazon featuring the actor Julie Christie reading a Pablo Neruda poem for ignoring the environmental record of the country's own state oil producer.
The 13-minute film, follows the unresolved, 22-year-long series of legal fights in the US, European and Latin American courts over the dumping by US oil company Texaco of 18bn gallons of toxic wastewater and crude oil in the forest near the town of Lago Agrio between 1964 and 1992.
It has no commentary except for Neruda's 42-line poem recited by Christie and the words of some "afectados" – people affected by the historic spills.
But Chevron said the film ignored more recent environmental problems. "If those involved in the production of this film truly wanted to help those affected by current social and environmental conditions in Ecuador, they would seek to hold Ecuador's President Rafael Correa and his government accountable," it said in a statement.
The film uses the Neruda poem to give a historical context to the relationship between foreign corporations and indigenous and other local peoples.
The poem by the Chilean Nobel literature prizewinner, called the United Fruit Company, was published in 1950. It suggests that US corporations treated the Latin American countries as empty "banana republics". It starts:

"When the trumpet sounded everything was prepared on Earth, and Jehovah gave the world to Coca-Cola Inc., Anaconda, Ford Motors, and other corporations.
"The United Fruit Company reserved for itself the most juicy piece, the central coast of my world, the delicate waist of America …"
The company was taken over many times and no longer exists, but the legacy of neo-colonialism still rankles deeply in Ecuador. "I find it both striking and distressing that in 2015, a poem written by Pablo Neruda in 1950 can still be a fitting statement on the relationship between a transnational company and poor, indigenous Latin Americans," said Christie.
"Despite much legal chicanery across many years and in many territories, the real people at the heart of this story and the precious Amazon environment that was so badly impacted by what was an astounding level of pollution are both still neglected."
Director Mark Donne said: "The film shows us the psychology of a multinational company and its attitude towards small sovereign states, innocent indigenous people and precious, diverse forest."
Chevron, which inherited fellow US oil company Texaco's liabilities when it acquired it in 2000, has argued that the original pollution was cleaned up and that Texaco only followed accepted practices at the time .
The company is contesting a $9.5bn (£6bn) pollution judgment made in Ecuador in 2011. It claims the Ecuadorean court judgment was flawed and has accused the lawyer working for the "afectados", of corruption, fabricated evidence, coercion and bribery, accusations that are strongly denied.
There have followed a series of court cases and rulings in several countries. In 2014, a US federal court stated that the lawyer for the afectados had used "corrupt means" to obtain the 2011 court verdict. But the Ecuadorean court judgment was upheld by the international court of justice in The Hague, Netherlands, in March 2015.
In a statement, Chevron said that the Ecuadorean oil company was also a major polluter.
"Texaco conducted a 3-year, $40m remediation programme in the 1990s that was overseen and approved by the government. Ecuador's state oil company, Petroecuador, has been operating exclusively in the region for the last 25 years. In that time, they have more than doubled the number of wells and have had an abysmal environmental record.
"Between 1995 and 2011 alone, Petroecuador has reported nearly 2,000 spills in the Amazon, yet none of this is mentioned in the film.
"The [British] film omits the fact that a United States federal court found that the Ecuadorean judgment against Chevron was the product of "egregious fraud". It is unfortunate that the indigenous people of Ecuador continue to be used by their government, plaintiffs' lawyers and activist groups in a coordinated effort to extort billions of dollars from Chevron.
The Neruda poem concludes:
"Meanwhile Indians are falling into the sugared chasms of the harbours, wrapped for burials in the midst of the dawn … a body rolls, a thing that has no name, a fallen cypher, a cluster of the dead fruit thrown on the dump".

'She's My Best Friend' When Sidharth Shukla Set An Example For Men On How To Love Your Mom
By NewsOnDot Desk 3315 | 03 Sep 2021
Actor Sidharth Shukla's sudden demise left everyone across the country shocked. The actor passed away at the age of 40 from a heart attack on Thursday.
The late actor was very close to his mother and described her as his 'best friend' and said that he never keeps any secrets from her.
Also, she was the reason behind Sidharth entering the entertainment world.
In an interview, he said, "People know me as a man with a rough exterior. But I'll always melt for my mom. Right from the time I was born, she's been the most important person in my life. I was the youngest of 3 kids & too small to play with my sisters, so I was always around mom. Back when I was a toddler, I'd cry if I had to go a second without her–so even while making rotis, she'd hold me in one hand & the roller in another! As I grew older, she became my best friend."
When the actor was heartbroken after his father's demise, he said that his mother was the only one who kept the three siblings together.
He said, "When dad passed away 15 years ago, it felt like the umbrella over us had been taken away. But my mom was our rock–she never showed any signs of vulnerability. Despite our poor finances, she ran the house, looked after 3 kids & fulfilled all our demands! I know now that she must've had to sacrifice so much to give us what we wanted."
It was Sidharth's mother who persuaded him to model and made him enter the acting profession.
He said, "She even played a pivotal role in helping me find my passion. I used to act like the 'cool guy'–so to 'teach me a lesson, she sent me for a modelling contest thinking I'd be put in my place! Funnily enough, I actually won! So, even on a subconscious level, she's been a guiding force in my life."

'Anonymous' Launches DDoS Attacks Against WikiLeaks Foes
The Mastercard site has been crippled by Operation Payback as a result of its refusal to process donations to WikiLeaks.
By Leslie Horn
December 8, 2010 11:27AM EST
WikiLeaks has had a rough few weeks, but one group is apparently determined to fight back against efforts to censor WikiLeaks activity: 4chan.
Operation Payback, operated by the clandestine group known as "Anonymous," which reportedly includes members of the "/b/" bulletin board 4chan.org, has launched cyber attacks against companies that have pulled their support for WikiLeaks.
Among the institutions targeted by Operation Payback are PayPal, MasterCard, and Swiss bank PostFinance.
"We can confirm that there have been attempted DDoS attack on paypal.com. These attacks have at times slowed the Web site itself down, but have not significantly impacted payments," PayPal said in a statement. "The PayPal.com site is fully operational."
Last week, PayPal permanently restricted the account used by WikiLeaks "due to a violation of the PayPal Acceptable Use Policy, which states that our payment service cannot be used for any activities that encourage, promote, facilitate or instruct others to engage in illegal activity," the company said.
In a Tuesday statement, PostFinance said "access to www.postfinance.ch and thus also e-finance is currently overloaded owing to a multitude of online enquiries" - most likely a DDoS attack. "The security of customer data is not affected," the bank said. On Monday, PostFinance announced that it had ended its business relationship with WikiLeaks editor Julian Assange because "the Australian citizen provided false information regarding his place of residence during the account opening process."
According to the Twitter feed for Anonymous, meanwhile, Operation Payback has crippled the MasterCard Web site after the credit company - as well as Visa Europe - announced plans to stop accepting WikiLeaks payments.
"We're glad to tell you that http://www.mastercard.com/ is down and it's confirmed," @Anon_Operation tweeted.
MasterCard could be reached for comment; at press time, Mastercard's site was unreachable.
WikiLeaks has been under fire since it released 250,000 confidential U.S. diplomatic cables late last month. Assange was arrested in London Monday, but it was regarding charges of rape brought against him by Swedish authorities and unrelated to the document dump.

WikiLeaks Contingency Plan: the Insurance File
Nontheless, WikiLeaks isn't going anywhere anytime soon. There are currently more than 1,000 mirror sites, which is more than double the number that existed just two days ago.
In addition to defending WikiLeaks, meanwhile, Operation Payback runs a campaign against anti-piracy organizations, and has targeted the Web properties of groups like the Recording Industry Association of America, the U.S. Copyright Office, and the Motion Picture Association of America. Operation Payback might have some enemies of its own, however. Ars Technica reports that an unknown counterforce has targeted the Operation Payback Web site; at press time, it was down.

Space Available Transportation
The Council Bluffs Community School District provides bus transportation for qualifying students. Our goal is to provide the safest possible transportation experience for your child. First Student, Inc. is our long-time partner in providing this service to students in our district to and from school, on field trips, and to sporting events and activities. The District contracts transportation services with First Student and is fortunate to have an experienced team of drivers.
For Elementary Students:
Who is Eligible to Ride the Bus at No Cost?
District policy 701.5 and Section 285.1 of the Iowa Code outline transportation privileges for students as follows:
• Eligible riders are defined as "Elementary students living two miles or more from school."
• The two-mile limit is defined as being "from a point at the edge of the roadway nearest the front door of the residence measured to a point at the edge of the driveway nearest the front door of the school by the nearest and most safe traveled roadway."
• A student may be required to catch the school bus on the approved route by walking up to three-fourths of a mile to a bus stop.
• Preschool students will not be transported to school on a bus unless they qualify for Special Education services.
Special Requests for Transportation
Due to hardship situations, students may need to be transported from/to an alternate address within the school's attendance area. Examples of this may be when parents' working hours are such that the student routinely must sleep at a relative's or care provider's residence or when the student is on an IEP (Individual Education Program) and is in need of adult supervision immediately before/after school. A letter of request must be sent to the principal for a "hardship exception," and must be approved by the principal and the Transportation office before transportation will be provided.
A parent may request transportation of his/her student(s) from an address other than the home address. Students may be granted transportation privileges only after all eligible riders and hardship exceptions have been provided services.
Bus Safety Reminder
Please know that there is no supervision provided by the School District at bus stops. Parents are encouraged to arrange for students to walk to and from, and to wait at the bus stop with at least one other student. Once on the bus, the bus driver is charged with maintaining discipline. Students are expected to behave on the bus as they would in school, knowing that the Code of Conduct will be enforced. All buses are equipped with cameras as part of the safety efforts.
Questions? 328-6411 x 11245

"Robyn, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
I've always been obsessed with decorating and unique home décor that is stylish and functional. You can say that decorating has always been in my blood. My personal home decorating style definitely leans towards casual, comfortable California vibe. I knew I wanted to share this feeling with others that is how I decided I wanted to open a furniture boutique store that included affordable quality furniture and décor that you couldn't find anywhere else in the Upper West Side. I would often think to myself: our personalities, tastes, and lives are all so different and our homes should reflect that individuality.
I was ready to open Robyn's Nest about 5 years ago, however, since I was new to running a business, I knew I needed to be smart about my approach and first gain experience. That was when I bought a flower shop to learn about what it really took to run a business to be sure I was ready. After 5 years of gaining small business experience, the timing just felt right, and I was able to open Robyn's Nest in the same location I had dreamt about when I first considered the idea. I sold the flower store to dedicate 100% of my attention to building up Robyn's Nest since the work doesn't end when the doors are closed at the end of the day. Every moment since our opening in Fall of 2017, I have is spent progressing Robyn's Nest by looking for new pieces, helping customers design special rooms in their homes, monitoring lasting trends, and learning new design techniques.
Other things you should know about me? I am a true lover and supporter of all animals, especially elephants and sheltered dogs. The proceeds of certain products we sell at Robyn's Nest goes towards fighting against animal abuse around the world. I also have a serious holiday decor addiction (no joke!). Oh… and I have more than 30 bins of Halloween & Christmas decorations!
I have learned that sometimes the biggest challenge is the mental wall you build up against yourself. My message to all the aspiring businesswomen out there is if you feel passionate about an idea, just dive in! No matter how much planning you put into an idea, life will always throw something your way that you weren't expecting and rather than crumbling, you need to be flexible with the ebb and flow of the water you just dove into. In the end, whether you succeed or not, you will save yourself from the burden of thinking what could have been and instead, you will feel confident in the fact that you went with your gut. Essentially, venture out of your comfort zone to pursue something you felt strongly about. At Robyn's Nest, we have a piece of wall art that inspires me every time I see it, it reads "She's got that whole purpose-driven, warrior princess, save the world type of vibe." I encourage you to be that warrior princess.
We'd love to hear more about Robyn's Nest.
Robyn's Nest is based on the bold idea that your home should reflect the unique character that makes you feel happy. I take pride in the uniqueness of the pieces we carefully select to add to our collection. I strongly believe that your home should represent you and celebrate what makes us different from one another. What sets us apart from the other furniture stores, is not only our ability to find uncommon furniture and decor pieces but that we are also a highly transitional store, meaning we love to mix things up. You'll notice that the way we design our showrooms is unlike other stores, we push the boundaries, break the rules of design, and experiment with different colors, textures, patterns, and styles. That is why our name, Robyn's Nest, is all encompassing of our brand; just like a nest, we pull unique pieces from all over to come together and build a happy place for you to call your home.
We also understand that not everyone that walks into our store is comfortable with the home design. This is why we love to provide expert advice to our customers. It is very common that I have customers who bring in photos of their home and the style they're looking to achieve and we make it happen. I guide and offer advice to anyone seeking some assistance with the design of their home, and if a customer chooses to buy a full room of décor, we will even go to their home to help them set it up. It's a great experience to really get to know our customers and make a difference.
The attitude in the store when you walk in will always be lively, charming and fun…just like me!!! My team will always help make your home a place to be brimming with color and personal character.


Does anyone know strength ratios that can work in a small space?
These strength ratios are from weakest to strongest.
A 1/9 compact gear ratio can be created by doing (12/36)/(12/36) (A 12 driving a 36 tooth which is on the same axle as another 12 tooth that is driving another 36 tooth) which only uses 4 of the axle holes (But be aware that you will need 5 holes to allocate because you need bearing flats).
You left out a couple sprocket ratios available from 15 teeth, though due to 30 being double 15 over half of them are already present. Still, using 15T may allow fitting the same ratio in a smaller space. 15T requires more width, but you should be able to thin it down noticeably if needed.
And then there is the worm gear, which gives 24:1, I think.
Does anybody even use the worm and wheel outside of PLTW?
Yep to open and close a clamp to grab the sides of the cap.
5090A used it for elevation control of their double puncher during NBN.
Did I hear 5090a? That's a local team that I migh be joining!
There is a video up somewhere of a nice variable transmission that takes advantage of the worm gear being very resistant to being back driven.
Generally I would think the ratio makes it too slow for most applications, but it could probably work well for a gear shift type of device and other things that don't need to move far, especially when you want direction shifts.
Bevel gears, on the other hand, I have seen used more. There may be a gear ratio from the non-45-degree bevel gears, too. The 45s are 1:1. I'll have to check the others to be sure.
I think there are 3 sizes of bevel gear. I'm in PLTW and we have at least 2, maybe 3.
Yes, there are three sizes, but there are only two pairs. I think the pairs are 45 degrees with another 45 degrees and 30 degrees with 60 degrees, but I'm not sure on the latter so I have to check them to confirm the gear ratio.
Looks like the other pair is 32 and 16 teeth, so not a new ratio at 2:1, but at least there is that ratio available when making a 90 degree turn.
Do you know where I can find 15T sprockets? I didn't see them on the VEX website.
They're called "Tank tread drive/idler wheels," but they're just 15-tooth sprockets with wider sections for the tread to rest against.
If it's the type of gear I'm thinking of, 77321J used a worm and wheel on their mobile goal intake last year.
