I Warned About Recession When Jonathan Govt Spent 'Recklessly' – Obasanjo
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo says he foresaw and warned about Nigeria's current recession two years ago, but said he was ignored.
Mr. Obasanjo said he was concerned about recession when he saw how "recklessly" the Goodluck Jonathan administration spent the country's resources.
The former president spoke on Saturday in an Independence Day message at a lecture organised by the Youth Fellowship of Owu Baptist Church, Abeokuta.
"Whoever that has lived to witness the celebration of today should thank God," he said. "Things are not what they should be, but we should pray that next year will be better than this year. We thank God for those who are alive, we prayed for the souls of those who have laboured for these country and who have passed on to rest in perfect peace."
Edo Governor-Elect Obaseki States His First Assignment
Mr. Godwin Obaseki, the Governor-elect of Edo State has stated what his first assignment in office would be. He made this known during an interactive session with journalists in Benin City. He said;
"My first assignment is to put together a team and get appropriation for next year because we have to hit the ground running.
"The focus will not change in terms of infrastructure and education. The added focus will be on job creation and empowerment. That is why I need to focus on the budget and ensure I get enough appropriation to emphasis the social aspects which I promised during my campaigns. We will continue to build roads and refurbish schools. What is important is how to get people to work."

Independence: Full Text Of President Buhari's Speech
Today – 1st October is a day of celebration for us Nigerians.
On this day, 56 years ago our people achieved the most important of all human desires – freedom and independence. We should all therefore give thanks and pray for our founding fathers without whose efforts and toil we would not reap the bounties of today.
• 2. I know that uppermost in your minds today is the economic crisis. The recession for many individuals and families is real. For some It means not being able to pay school fees, for others it's not being able to afford the high cost of food (rice and millet) or the high cost of local or international travel, and for many of our young people the recession means joblessness, sometimes after graduating from university or polytechnic.

Rob Apologises To Kylie For Leaking Her Phone Number
Rob Kardashian has apologised to his baby sister Kylie Jenner for plastering her phone number on Instagram. On Friday morning the troubled reality star admitted the move may not have been appropriate.
'It was miscommunication on my end,' the reality star told Ryan Seacrest on his radio show.
I thought they weren't having Chyna at our baby shower. Chyna's baby shower is actually this Sunday, but they were trying to do a little surprise 'guy' baby shower for me and I was just upset trying to fight for Chyna like, 'Yo, she has to be at the baby shower. She's birthing my child. She needs to be there.'
'It was literally miscommunication and I probably shouldn't have went on Twitter, but I did.'
Kylie was forced to change her phone number after Rob's leak.

Are These The Worst Wedding Dresses EVER? Lol
Pictures sweeping Imgur show how resourceful brides have donned gowns made out of cakes, bedding and tissue paper in a series of eye-popping dresses that had all parts of the female anatomy on show.
Left to right: a gown fashioned from a bed sheet that wouldn't look out of place at a toga party; one woman showcases her blossoming baby bump by cutting a hole in the middle of her strapless gown; a bride ensures all eyes are on her with an eye-wateringly low neckline; and taking the 'meringue' theme to dizzying new heights, one bride pairs a frothy skirt with a billowing train, lacy garter and patent platform shoes. Now see even more alarming photos below, lol.
Girlfriend Pays Tribute To Boxer Who Died After He Was Knocked Unconscious In A Fight
The heartbroken partner of boxer Mike Towell has told how he 'fought right to the end' before dying from injuries he suffered in a bout. Mike Towell, 25, was stretchered from the ring in the fifth round of his match with Dale Evans at St Andrews Sporting Club fight in Glasgow on Thursday night.
Having suffered severe bleeding and swelling to the brain, the Dundee fighter was taken off of life support and died surrounded by members of his family. Towell's partner Chloe Ross paid tribute to the boxer on Facebook, and revealed the fighter had been suffering from weeks of migraines in the lead up to the bout, putting the headaches down to stress.
In a heartfelt message, she called her partner of eight and a half years her 'annoying best friend' and 'absolute plonker', adding that a part of him would 'be with her forever' because of their young son, Rocco. Among the sport's famous names to pay their respects to the fighter were former world champion Ricky Hatton and promoter Eddie Hearn, while Nick Blackwell - who retired from the support after going into a coma following a fight with Chris Eubank Jr - changed his Twitter profile picture to that of Towell as a homage to the boxer.

Koffi Speaks About Controversial Letter, Says To Hell With Whoever Thinks I Was Beefing Kiss Daniel, Others
Two weeks ago, Comedian koffi wrote an open letter in which was majorly directed at Kiss Daniel, then he diverted to others, but the letter was actually focused on Kiss Daniel. A lot of his fans and people in the industry reacted to the letter, but Koffi has now explained exclusively to Saturday Beats why he wrote it and says to hell with anyone who does not feel comfortable with it, lol. His words;
"In every vocation, there is a society that protects them. Vulcanizers, conductors, have associations that protect them. Entertainment associations do not protect entertainers. That is how businessmen entered Nollywood, started doling out money and they crumbled that sector. The same thing is happening to the music industry and that is why I shouted. These people bring their money into the business, find young boys to sign to their record labels, then they begin to dictate their career path. Tomorrow if Kiss Daniel does not make it, they would drop him and pick another person. By that time, he would have lost his fan base and interaction with people. Timaya knows how hard he fought to get his career back. J Martins is fighting to get his career back. Continue...

Why Do The Adekolas Go For Born Again Looking Women
They are fine guys, most men in their family are handsome so it's safe to say they took it from their dad. But one thing many Nigerians can't stop talking about his their choice of WOMEN! Now note this, these guys love life, they have fun and what have you, but when it comes to their life partners, they chill and take a break and go for a homely girl. Now take a look at the first photo, that's the popular actor and his wife. The second photo is that of his younger brother who got married this week. See any similarities?
N.B so many ladies have come out to say they have had one or two things to do with Odunlade Adekola (even though people have said he hardly cheats), but his wife has always stood by him, saying she remains with her man. Now back to the gist again, is there anything ladies need to learn? Is marriage more than bleaching, makeup and all dem sexy clothes? Over to you guys…

The sports village has free activities like beach volleyball for the public.
Gladiators BeachFest will hit Dubai's Kite Beach, located behind Sunset Mall, Friday with a challenging and fun obstacle course.
The event is organised by Corporate Games, who are back with another exciting beach event after the success of the Del Monte Beach Games last year.
Gladiators Challenge have also teamed up with Corporate Games for the imitative with the Dubai Sports Council to promote wellbeing amongst the UAE community.
Everyone is encouraged to come down on the day to give the obstacle course a try.
From climbing to crawling to scaling, the course won't be a walk in the park. Far from it, actually, with cool elements such as tyre runs, tunnel crawls, wall climbs, a spider web, balance beams, sand bag pick-up, monkey bars and hurdle jumps.
Two unique aspects of the course will have participants testing themselves in the water with sea kayaks and stand-up paddle boards (SUPs).
Entry costs Dh50 and each person will get two attempts to record the best time possible to be eligible for prizes.
Kick up a storm: Test your football skills.
Winners will be awarded across four categories for the top time – men's, women's, under 16s and a team classification (average time will be calculated for the number of participants on the team).
The obstacle course won't be the only thing to enjoy, however.
Yoga will kick-off the day with a morning session at 09:00 with Holistic Dani. Bring your mats and clear your mind before going through the ringer later in the afternoon.
A sports village with free activities will also be open to the public. Try out different sports and pick up a new hobby with offerings from Royal Football Academy, Vapero beach volleyball, Beach Tennis Middle East and Speedminton, along with fitness classes from PACE body coaching and BetterBody4Me.
You can even get involved with pick-up activities such as tug of war, bubble soccer and ultimate Frisbee.
Red Bull has you covered with music throughout the day and some shade in the chill out zones, while Cycle Hub will be exhibiting their FatBikes for riding on the beach.

Indefinite Obituary for Hayatul Rahman, Thanatologist
by submission | Nov 25, 2021 | Story | 1 comment
Author: Sakib Shahriar
Thanatology was a hotly-disputed conceptual art movement from the moment of its inception. Artists who identified themselves with the movement often explored feelings and sensations of death and decay, whether through paintings and visual art, performance pieces, or self-experiments.
Art critic Oscar Ries argues that thanatology formed in response to widespread ecological and economic collapse taking place in the modern world. Thanatologist Mildred Rosters often addresses the fear of death and disappearing from the world in her work: "Many of our oppressive institutions still in place today function on the fear of death—on the desire for permanent security from decay. If we can let go of this fear, if we can accept our eventual disappearance from the life of the Earth, perhaps we may yet save ourselves from the climate disasters we currently live, or perhaps we may at least stop inflicting systemic violence against our own people."
Many of thanatology's founding members, including Rosters, Michel Gagnon, and Agnes Toyokawa, were accused of promoting and romanticizing death and suicide. Gagnon in particular gained infamy when he was arrested in Highland Park, California on loitering and public indecency charges; he was running a streetside public art installation where he pretended to be bleeding out on the sidewalk for three hours.
Hayatul Rahman was much lesser known outside the insider artist circles of thanatology. Rahman was interested in beginning processes of decay and necrosis on her own body while she still lived. Though many thanatologists experimented on themselves, Rahman was notable for how much farther she pushed her own experiments compared to her contemporaries.
Many of Rahman's pieces fall somewhere between art and science. Initially trained as a molecular biologist, her early pieces involved viral engineering, often having a virus localize to a specific body part or organ to create a controlled zone of necrosis. In later works, she explored extreme living conditions, including month-long fasts and extended sensory deprivation.
Rahman first gained recognition among other thanatologists through "Opposable," a 3-day private art demonstration she held in July of 2057 in her New York apartment. Invited friends and fellow artists spent the 3 days living and feasting with each other, while Rahman's thumbs slowly decayed via a localized virus until they became unusable altogether. Rahman wanted to explore the possibilities of communal life in the face of decay: "I slowly grew incapable of simple tasks like gripping things in my hands; more and more I had to rely on the people around me to do chores I was used to doing, like cooking and cleaning."
Rahman's most recent performance piece, "Infinite Life," involves creating and injecting into herself a venom that cuts off her brain-body connection and slows her oxygen consumption to a minimum, entering her into a prolonged and indefinite death-like state without her body immediately decaying or becoming necrotic.
In her artistic statement for the piece before she entered into dying, Rahman mentions growing fascinated with jewel wasps producing a similar venom for cockroaches, so that their larvae can incubate near and feed on the incapacitated cockroach's body. She also notes: "The length of this performance piece is indefinite. My body will sustain itself for an unknown period of time, and I've asked my partner to note the date and time at which my body finishes dying, after which point I will be buried under special request without a coffin at Centennial Park Cemetery, Pasadena, California."
Conceptual artist and experimental thanatologist Hayatul Rahman entered into dying on October 14th, 2075. She leaves behind her wife and two children.

How A Window Treatment Company Drove More Than $175,000 In Sales In Less Than Three Months Using Aimtell
GET STARTED NOWSCHEDULE A DEMO
Trusted by 15,000+ Brands
Web push notifications are an innovative way for brands to engage consumers. In particular, the high level of visibility of push notifications allows brands to connect with subscribers on both desktop and mobile devices. Aimtell push technology also helps track user behavior on site to send more targeted and relevant messages to subscribers.
Recently, a company specializing in custom window treatments installed Aimtell web push notifications, hoping to scale its business in two distinct areas: appointment bookings and overall sales. Through a series of push marketing campaigns with enticing incentives sent at the right moments, the window treatment company was able to secure impressive results in a short period of time.
In less than three months, the window treatment company generated nearly 200 qualified appointments via web push notifications. Of the qualified appointments, close to 100 resulted in sales, totaling more than $175,000.
Simple, direct campaigns asking subscribers to request appointments helped this brand achieve its goals. Push marketing copy that included incentives, such as free installation or free at-home consultations, likely helped enhance their results. The window treatment company also optimized its campaign by sending push notifications at times likely to correspond with common consumer pain points, like sunrise and sunset.
Push Notifications With Incentives Encourage Action
Push notification campaigns, including incentives for free installation or in-home consultations, were successful in driving clicks and producing qualified appointments.
The window treatment brand sent a "don't forget" push notification like the one above to all subscribers to maximize exposure and remind subscribers of the free installation incentive. Keeping the copy incentive-focused and straightforward without honing in on a specific product type, this push notification was one of several high-performing notifications resulting in thousands of clicks and a large number of qualified appointments.
Other push notifications targeted more specific audiences to reach consumers actively exploring the website and available product options. For example, a notification similar to the one below targeted subscribers who had visited a product page in the past 30 days. This page visit campaign was more targeted in terms of content and capitalized on engaging active consumers to nudge them closer to booking consultations.
Smartly-Timed Push Notifications Focus On Consumer Pain Points
In addition to incentives, the window treatment brand deployed push marketing campaigns at certain times of the day, focusing on common consumer pain points their products could solve. For example, take a look at a push notification from a campaign with sunrise- and sunset-based send times:
Presenting a solution to a common problem, the window company smartly timed this campaign when subscribers were likely to be experiencing a problem window treatments could solve. This time-based push marketing campaign also featured timezone optimization, which ensured each subscriber received the message when it was morning for them. Timely push notification messages drove consumers to click on the notifications and schedule consultations or make purchases.
By understanding common issues that its customers experience, this window treatment brand chose to send push notifications providing solutions to these problems. Inspiring numerous clicks and subsequent appointments, these push notifications paid off for the brand in a short period of time.
In less than three months, this window treatment company was able to generate thousands of clicks and nearly 200 qualified appointments that led to more than $175,000 in sales. A combination of push notifications highlighting incentives and solutions to common consumer pain points engaged their audience effectively. Segmentation to target active push notification subscribers helped motivate interested buyers and encouraged them to take the next steps.

Word of Faith Christian Center Church v. Gretchen Whitmerskallman2020-05-11T14:27:52+00:00
UPDATE: Within 24 hours after the GLJC filed suit against Governor Whitmer, she amended her executive order which now permits all churches to reopen.
PRESS RELEASE: Churches First Amendment Rights Restored Synagogues, Mosques, and Churches now Free to Reopen
Lansing, Michigan – The Great Lakes Justice Center (GLJC), on behalf of a number of Michigan churches and individuals, filed a federal civil rights lawsuit in Grand Rapids on May 6, 2020, against Governor Gretchen Whitmer. The suit challenged the Governor's illegal and unlawful Executive Orders (EO) issued since April 30, 2020.
It alleged various constitutional and statutory violations committed by Governor Whitmer. Plaintiffs' requested a declaratory judgment to vindicate their rights and injunctive relief to allow them to safely reopen their churches for services.
In response to the lawsuit, Governor Gretchen Whitmer issued a new EO 2020-77 on May 7, 2020, that agreed with the relief requested by GLJC. Churches, synagogues, mosques, and all places of religious worship may now open without threat of penalty or criminal prosecution. Individuals may attend such services with no threat of penalty or criminal prosecution. The specific language added to EO 2020-77 (paragraphs 16 and 17) states:
"No individual is subject to penalty under section 20 of this order for engaging in or traveling to engage in religious worship at a place of religious worship … nothing in this order shall be taken to abridge protections guaranteed by the state or federal constitution under these emergency circumstances."
Given this new language in the EO, the relief requested by Plaintiffs is no longer needed, as the Governor has acquiesced to the fact that churches and all faiths have a First Amendment right to freely assemble and freely exercise their religious beliefs. If the Governor abides by her words, this lawsuit is no longer necessary. This does not mean, however, that GLJC believes her EOs are valid, legal and binding. Many of the constitutional and statutory violations as stated in our Complaint are still present. There are numerous other pending cases addressing those issues, and GLJC will be involved in those lawsuits through amicus briefs.
David A. Kallman, Senior Counsel with the GLJC, stated, "Churches are essential to the health and well-being of everyone. The Governor now appears to recognize this fact and will not attempt to prohibit people of all religious faiths to meet and freely exercise their religious beliefs. Places of worship can operate responsibly and safely using CDC guidelines and protocols." Professor William Wagner, President of GLJC said, "Today, we take a small step toward returning to constitutional governance in the state of Michigan."

DOWNLOAD VICTORY PRESS RELEASE
The GLJC has filed suit on behalf of numerous individuals and churches against Governor Gretchen Whitmer regarding her unlawful COVID-19 Executive Orders.
The Complaint alleges 1st Amendment, Due Process & Separation of Powers violations.
Full Case Name: Word of Faith Christian Center Church, et al. v. Gretchen Whitmer
File No.: 20-392
Court: United States District Court – Western District of Michigan
Great Lakes Justice Center Role: Plaintiffs' Attorney
As first reported on the Steve Gruber Radio Show, the Great Lakes Justice Center (GLJC), on behalf of a number of Michigan churches and individuals, filed a federal civil rights lawsuit in Grand Rapids today against Governor Gretchen Whitmer. The suit challenges the Governor's illegal and unlawful Executive Orders (EO) issued since April 30, 2020. She now attempts to enforce these EOs as having the force and effect of law and threatens anyone in noncompliance with criminal charges and fines.
The complaint alleges:
Plaintiffs argue in their brief:
Just because a governor has ink in her pen does not mean the Constitution authorizes her to use it, notwithstanding good intentions. The Constitution does not become irrelevant during any emergency, including a pandemic. Instead of every citizen being subject to the rule of law, they have become subjects of Defendant's daily edicts. (page 22 of brief).
David A. Kallman, Senior Counsel with the GLJC, stated, "Churches are essential to the health and well-being of everyone. If Walmart and Home Depot can open and sell goods to customers while following CDC guidelines, surely churches can do the same."

How many environmental refugees are there?
Kathleen Muncy
The World Bank estimates in 2018 that three regions (Latin America, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Southeast Asia) will create an additional 143 million climate migrants by 2050. More than 68.5 million people were forcefully displaced in 2017 than at any other time in human history. This is almost as many people as the entire population of Australia, New Zealand, or the United Kingdom.
Environmental refugees are individuals who are forced to move from their homes because of severe weather, drought, famine, civil unrest, or other factors related to climate change. In addition to being uprooted, refugees often lose their means of earning a living and have no way to pay for expensive relocation costs. People become environmental refugees when they need food to survive but cannot afford to buy it; this can happen if they cannot find work or if their wages do not cover the price of essential items such as water, heat, or electricity.
In recent years, climate change has been identified as one of the major drivers of conflict worldwide. Environmental issues such as deforestation, soil degradation, water scarcity, and air pollution play a role in creating conditions that lead to violence. Climate change affects everyone, regardless of race, religion, or political affiliation, which makes it difficult for certain groups of people to align with each other against climate change skeptics or governments. These disparities can lead to conflict between communities over who should pay what amount of money to mitigate climate change effects.
Where do most climate refugees go?
How many refugees will climate change create?
How many climate refugees will there be in 2050?
What are the environmental reasons for migration?
How many immigrants are there in the world in 2019?
Between now and 2050, if governments take moderate steps to cut climate emissions, around 680,000 climate migrants may migrate from Central America and Mexico to the United States. If emissions continue unabated, resulting in more intense heat, that figure might rise to more than a million. Climate change will also make existing problems such as poverty and violence more difficult to overcome.
Central American countries are already experiencing increased numbers of people fleeing their homes due to climate change-induced disasters. In 2017, Hurricane Maria caused an estimated $90 billion in damage to Puerto Rico, leading to the exodus of another dangerous reality for many Americans: climate-induced migration from a territory. Last year, California suffered its worst wildfire season on record, forcing thousands to flee their homes.
Climate change is not just an issue for scientists and policymakers - it affects everyone's lives every day. From extreme weather to water shortages, here are some of the most important effects of climate change.
As climate change causes temperatures to rise, we see an increase in the frequency and intensity of heat waves, heavy rains, and other harmful events. This leads to increased risks of death or serious injury from weather-related accidents (such as car crashes or house fires), as well as changes in where people live or work.
These ideas have acquired traction, with the most widely held belief being that the globe would have 150–200 million climate change refugees by 2050. This estimate is based on two studies that projected between 14 and 18 million people would be forced to leave their homes due to climate change-induced water shortages and other environmental changes.
The number of climate change refugees is expected to increase as the impact of climate change becomes more severe. For example, if carbon dioxide emissions continue to rise at their current rate, it would lead to flooding, droughts, heat waves, and other adverse effects for much of the world's population.
Refugees are people who are compelled to move from their native country because of violence, famine, health problems, or natural disasters. Climate change can cause all of these things to occur simultaneously, which means that refugee populations will increase. There already are several hundred thousand refugees in this situation so the number could reach into the millions over time.
Climate change will not just affect those alive today, but also future generations. If climate change causes food production to drop, for example, then some people might start eating their own livestock to keep them alive. This would result in a sort of mass extinction where only the most adaptable species survive.
Weather-related disasters displaced 24.9 million people in 140 countries in 2019. According to research, if aggressive climate action and catastrophe risk reduction are not implemented, climate-related disasters might quadruple the number of people requiring humanitarian aid to over 200 million per year by 2050. This would create a huge burden for governments and international organizations.
The number of climate refugees could increase from hundreds of thousands to millions as severe weather events cause further land degradation and environmental damage. Some countries may also see an increase in internal displacement due to rising temperatures causing agricultural losses and forced migration.
Currently, there are only two methods used by scientists to estimate the number of future climate refugees: statistical analysis of past trends related to climate change (for example, drought or flood) and computer models that try to project future conditions based on current data about climate change and other factors that influence disaster rates.
In both cases, it's difficult to predict how many people might move away from their homes due to climate change. However, recent studies suggest that future climate change could lead to more frequent and intense tropical cyclones, which could result in increased loss and damage costs for coastal property owners. It also might lead to higher sea levels that could threaten low-lying islands and shoreline communities.
In addition, people are already moving because of natural disasters such as earthquakes or floods.
Climate refugees, also known as climate migrants, are a subset of environmental migrants who were forced to flee "due to abrupt or gradual changes in the natural environment caused by at least one of three impacts of climate change: sea-level rise, extreme weather events, and drought and water scarcity." They are an inevitable result of climate change.
Environmental factors play a large role in determining where people will live. Climate is just one of many factors that influence where people choose to make their homes. Land use, topography, infrastructure (such as roads and airports), safety, culture, food production, availability of resources, etc. are all taken into account when deciding where to build new houses and cities.
Over half of the world's population lives in areas affected by climate change, with the largest numbers living in Asia. Many people have been or will be forced from their homes due to climate change; this process is called ecological displacement. The environmental consequences of this movement are significant since it can increase the risk of violence between those who have land and those who don't because they need to protect themselves against famine and poverty. Additionally, major changes to the physical environment can lead to cultural changes as well.
Some estimates say that up to 50 million people could be affected by sea-level rise alone by 2050. This would mean about 1 in 8 people on Earth then, but that number could be much higher now.
272 million people According to the UN, the number of international migrants has reached 272 million, maintaining an upward trend in all geographical regions. Globally, the number of international migrants is predicted to be 272 million in 2019, an increase of 51 million since 2010. The main countries of origin and destination are listed below:.
China - 25 million India - 8 million USA - 3 million Brazil - 2 million Germany - 1 million France - 500000 Russia - 400000 Mexico - 300000 South Africa - 200000
In 2017, there were more than 20 million refugees around the world. They were mainly fleeing violence and poverty in their own countries. In addition, there are another 7 million persons who seek asylum from persecution in Europe. These figures show that immigration is a global phenomenon that affects almost every country in the world.
The share of immigrants in the total population of each country ranges from less than 1% (Israel, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Switzerland) to over 15% (Italy, Greece, Iran). Countries with a large immigrant population include Canada (14%), Sweden (12%), Germany (10%), France (9%).
Immigrants accounted for nearly one fifth of the population of the European Union. They are also expected to account for half of its population by 2100.
Almost half of all children in the United States are born to immigrant mothers.
Kathleen Muncy has always been an environmentalist. The environment is one of the most important things in her life, and she wants to do everything in her power to protect it. She's currently involved with many projects that involve working with governments and other organizations on climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies.

Over the counter drugs and products to avoid for your pets: Pt 2
Published by CN Admin2 at October 11, 2021
Photo source: petmd.com
By Dr Asia O'Neill
The animals of God's creation inhabit the skies, the earth and the sea. and have a part in human life. We, therefore, invoke God's blessing on these animals. over all the creatures of the earth—St Francis of Asissi
There are many over-the-counter (OTC) drugs that are easily accessible and seem simple enough to be used for human consumption. However, even though these drugs are used with little to no harm in regular use by us, it may not be so harmless for use in certain pets. Usage of drugs that are considered to be 'off label' or 'extra-label' should only be after consulting with a veterinarian to ensure safe administration. Carefully considering what can be safely given to your pets will prevent toxic effects from occurring.
Acetaminophen is the active ingredient in Tylenol, Paracetamol and Panadol and is used for pain relief and fever reduction in humans. Acetaminophen may be the sole ingredient or part of a combination product containing other medications. These medications may include aspirin, opioids, antihistamines, decongestants, and caffeine.
Low doses of acetaminophen can be given only under the direction of a veterinarian. The metabolism of acetaminophen differs in dogs and cats than in humans. This means that relatively small doses, may be toxic to them. Cats are especially sensitive to acetaminophen as they have less functional cellular pathways for the metabolism for certain drugs, including acetaminophen. Since cats cannot efficiently metabolise acetaminophen, they are more susceptible to poisoning. Cats can develop intoxication at much lower doses than dogs.
No signs may be seen initially, however, Acetaminophen can cause liver damage or decrease the red blood cell's ability to carry oxygen, due to methemoglobinemia. Cats are more likely to develop early damage to the red blood cells while dogs are more likely to develop liver damage. However, either of these conditions, or both, can manifest due to toxicity in either species.
Damage to the red blood cells occurs within 4-12 hours with toxicity. Lethargy, weakness, inappetence, rapid breathing, a high heart rate, panting, abdominal pain, vomiting, or drooling can develop as signs. Mucous membranes, including the gums or conjunctiva, may become cyanotic, giving a blue appearance. Methemoglobin accumulating in these areas can also result in a chocolate brown colour. Facial swelling or swelling of the paws and forelimbs several hours after ingesting acetaminophen can also occur with toxicity.
Liver damage may be delayed for several days. In addition to the signs above, dark urine, jaundice of the eyes or skin, an enlarged abdomen, increased drinking, and urination or discolored feces may be seen. If these signs are not recognised and treated, death may occur.
Dry eye (keratoconjunctivitis) can also be a result of toxicity resulting in squinting, discharge, and ocular pain. If the ingested acetaminophen was combined with other medications, additional signs may occur. These may include incoordination, weakness, depression, hyperactivity, agitation, disorientation, vocalizing, changes in heart rate, pale gums, tremors, seizures, or fever.
Aspirin or acetylsalicylic acid is a non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory drug for pain control and fever reduction. It is most commonly used for its anti-clotting effects in many pets. Its use in different animal species is 'off label' or 'extra label'. This should strictly be done under the direction of a veterinarian.
The side effects most commonly seen are gastrointestinal, such as nausea, decreased appetite, vomiting, or intestinal irritation. Bleeding of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, due to ulceration may also occur, even at the therapeutic dose. It will result in black/tarry stools, blood or 'coffee grounds in the vomit, or stooling of frank blood. Anemia and low blood protein can develop as a result of severe gastric bleeding. In cats, aspirin may lead to acidosis. The effects of aspirin usually last for few days, although effects can be longer in pets with liver or kidney disease. As such, doses in said patients should be avoided.
Cats are also very sensitive to aspirin because clearance occurs at a much slower rate from their system. If dosed incorrectly, it can accumulate and cause toxic effects, resulting in kidney and liver damage.
Aspirin should not be used in pets that are allergic to it, or pets that have bleeding ulcers, bleeding disorders, asthma, or kidney failure. Use caution in pets that have severe liver failure, decreased kidney function, or have low blood protein. If possible, aspirin should not be used one week prior to surgical procedures.
It must be used cautiously and dosed very carefully in cats and newborn pets. Aspirin should not be used in pregnant animals unless it is a last resort.

Gmail Points Way To Brighter Future For Email
by George Bilbrey , Op-Ed Contributor, August 12, 2009
If you're a marketer, you've probably expressed your frustration with ISPs. Why don't they make the rules clear? Why don't they understand that your company sends good email that subscribers want to get? Why don't they make it clear to customers that the "report spam" button has a negative consequence for all email subscribers? Why do they punish you when you're not a spammer?
The truth, at least based on the many conversations I've had with the guys working on the ground at the world's top ISPs, is that they are most certainly not trying to punish email marketers. You, the beleaguered marketer just trying to do your best, are only minimally on their radar screen.
Think about it from their perspective. The amount of email they must process in any given day is staggering. Their servers groan under the weight of it all. And the vast, vast majority of that email traffic is AWFUL.
I don't mean awful in the way those of us inside the email community think of awful email. We all deplore "batch and blast" promotions with no value to the subscriber. But that's nothing compared with what ISPs are dealing with. I'm talking about botnets sending pharma spam, phishing scams, and messages aimed at driving visits to Web sites that will discreetly insert malware on their machines. That's what keeps these guys up at night.
Of course the system ISPs have historically used to deal with this problem is to block the bad: figure out which email is bad and keep it from getting in the door. This made sense and sort of worked. It certainly cut way down on scams, and most commercial inboxes are largely free of spam. But it's costly and has led to an arms race with spammers that makes it even costlier every year.
With well over 80% of messages being awful, is it possible that the paradigm could change? Could ISPs start spending more time and effort identifying good message streams and start to largely block the rest? Will they provide more functionality for known good senders?
Three pieces of news from Gmail last month add support to this view of the future. First, the company announced it would be adding a key icon to authenticated email from PayPal and eBay because those companies are known to authenticate all their mail and are often phished. Gmail simply blocks unauthenticated messages at the gateway and provides the key icon as a trust mark. Since PayPal and eBay are two of the most-often phished, this is an important security feature for consumers.
Of course, phishing has gone way beyond those two companies, so to call this a partial solution is a huge understatement. But I think it shows a commitment to recognizing and delivering good email -- with the side benefit of being able to worry a lot less about bad email. It will be interesting to see how programs like this play out in the future at Google and other large mailbox providers.
Second, Gmail has added a "trusted unsubscribe" link in addition to the "report spam" button for mailers that use the list-unsubscribe header, are authenticating their mail and have an excellent reputation. When a user hits the unsubscribe link, a complaint message will be sent to a specified address. This is the closest Google has come to offering a feedback loop for complaints. While it's always preferable, from the marketer's point of view, for subscribers to use the unsubscribe functionality within the message, this type of unsubscribe button can ultimately lead to lower complaint rates. This, in turn, helps email from those companies be more easily identified as good.
And finally, Gmail announced that it would be automatically turning on images for "contacts." For marketers, this means that if your email is authenticated and your customer has sent you at least two messages, then your images are on by default. I think this rewards two pieces of great behavior by senders: authentication and engagement. (If you are still telling your email subscribers not to reply to your email, perhaps you finally want to rethink that strategy?)
The impact of these changes is that mailers who authenticate and have good reputations get better treatment. And more of the really, really bad stuff is blocked at the gateway.
Ultimately, it's the consumer who will win. They will get the email they really want without having to wade through a bunch of junk or fear that the email might harm them.

Allen Maccannell from SenderOK, August 18, 2009 at 3:10 a.m.
The second solution should have always been the responsibility of a pro-business company and Google is finally doing what any business sender would want: those who hit "this is spam" on something they obviously signed-up for and could easily unsubscribe from shouldn't be able to hurt an innocent sender's reputation.
Offering feedback loops at a reasonable price was also a no-brainer. I find it unconscionable that I ever sent an email that was marked "this is spam" and I wasn't informed whom to take off a mailing list. If there was at least a button that said "Mark this as spam and inform the sender," there would be a lot less unwanted email being sent in the first place. The current regime implies that people want to hurt others' reputations while remaining anonymous, when the reality is that the "Mark as Spam" button was simply too easy to click on without an alternative like "Politely inform this sender that I don't want their email anymore and consider it spam if they keep sending".
The first and third solutions (authentication icons + automatic rendering from trusted senders) above have already been part of a plug-in for Outlook, Gmail, Yahoo + Live called SenderOK. The Gmail team has been able to announce the development of such functionality for their own platform while SenderOK is working with Gmail and the other platforms now. AOL, Yahoo + Microsoft are going to have to play catchup and maybe we can help them.
In the meanwhile, the partner that can help us distribute the plug-in that will give the above functionality to all 5 major platforms (and counting), can benefit from being able to charge accredited companies to have their authentication icons appear on all email programs, good email removed from the spam folder (until and unless the receiver unsubscribes or tells the plug-in to mark it as spam), emails sorted by priority and photo business cards to appear in the header pane.
Email and Social Networking are merging now. New developments like GoogleWave and software products like xobni and SenderOK show that most Social Networks will wither if they do not move from the web to the email platform.

Fred on the Head | Are you in your Write mind?
It has been a long time coming and I hope you like the new layout.
Thanks for reading my musings!
When the invaders arrive, will Arlyss be ready to defend his homeland or will he fall under the spell of Death-Bringer?
I went to the World Fantasy Convention in Baltimore at the beginning of the month. Overall, I'd have to say that I was underwhelmed.
This convention is only for fantasy literature. There were no people in costume, games, or movie stars. I don't typically get into that stuff, so I thought this would work well for me, but there actually wasn't much programming compared to other conventions I've attended. This is one of those conventions where you're supposed to mingle and meet industry insiders (Yeah, that's where I excel).
I used the term fantasy literature intentionally because this convention reminded me of some of the writing conventions I've attended where people look down their noses at genre fiction writers. Of course, this was a genre fiction writing convention, so I had a hard time figuring out what we were looking down our noses at until I realized we were looking down our noses at the history of our genre.
This really didn't hit me until I sat in on "The Future of Fantasy" panel. This panel consisted of all women who basically stated that you should only read fantasy stories from women, persons of color, and other "underrepresented" groups. When a lady from the back of the audience spoke up and said she only cared if it is a quality story, she was quickly shut down. Apparently, the genre has been dominated by white men for too long.
I'm not disagreeing with the concept, but I'm a middle of the road kind of guy. Instead of swinging the pendulum all the way in the opposite direction, why not include everyone in the future of our genre? Fantasy is pretty main-stream in our culture compared to a couple of decades ago. I'm thinking there's enough room for everyone who wants to write a quality story.
This did not seem to be the prevailing opinion. I'm assuming I won't be in the running for any World Fantasy Awards, but that's okay.
On a happy note, I did get to meet a writer friend who I've worked with over the internet in the past. Also, I sat in on the best reading ever—If you ever get a chance to hear Andy Duncan read one of his stories aloud, you will thoroughly enjoy it. Also, the art show was pretty cool.
All-in-all, I'm glad I went for the experience, but I won't spend the money on this one again anytime soon.
I always do NaNoWriMo, but I rarely win. Actually, I've won once (2011) – the first year I tried it. November is just a bad month (for me) to do this, and I'm just not that fast a writer. So I'm at 3000 words on day 11. Not too impressive.
I attended the World Fantasy Convention (more to come on that).
My website is being revised.
I took my books off KDP Select and am getting them set up on other channels (They're popping up all over the place right now).
I'm finishing the book files for my new novel – Death-Bringer (Definitely more to come on this).

Christmas-Holiday Gifts – Science Fiction & Fantasy For Everyone.
There are lots of free Science Fiction and Fantasy books in this giveaway including book 1 of my Kingdom of Haven series – The Order of the Wolf.
I own a classic truck. A good definition of a classic vehicle is that it's old enough that no one else wants to buy it from you, but not so far gone that it's ready for the junkyard. This one's a 1995 F-150.
Of course, some dealer would be happy to give me a "good trade" if I bought a new vehicle from them. Some days I'm not sure why I don't trade it in for something newer. Typically, these are the days it decides to show its age and act up.
Just the other day, I was driving to an appointment and the truck died in the middle of the road. It was around 8:30 in the morning. Of course, I was in morning traffic.
It's a four-lane road, and I'm sitting in the right lane going nowhere with a line of cars piling up behind me and the left lane zooming past. I can see in my rear-view mirror the cars trying to jockey around me, and I'm avoiding making eye contact with the drivers as they pass (because people are so happy during their morning commute, to begin with).
I try to start the truck a couple of times and let out a few choice curses. The truck had died on me in a similar fashion about a year ago—the distributor finally kicked the bucket. My first thoughts were that it died again, and I should have traded in this piece of crap then.
Where were the good Samaritans? Surely someone will stop and help me push this beast!
After significant effort (luckily the road was flat), I get the truck out of traffic and hop back in to collect my thoughts. I don't even get a chance to sigh before I look in the rear view mirror and see a car sitting in the turn lane behind me.
Yes, there is a good person out there!
I wait for the guy to get out of his car.
He looks down at his cell phone and then back up. He's just sitting there.
It dawns on me that he's not stopping to help. He's waiting to turn right.
I roll down my window and wave for him to go around. I guess my truck sitting skewed in the lane, not running, wasn't a strong enough clue.
If I was a young lady, they'd be lining up to help me.
What about a senior citizen—I've got more gray hair than black damn it.
I was full of self-righteous fury. . . until I looked down at the gauge panel and remembered that I needed gas. I was on my way to the gas station that morning because I didn't have enough gas in the tank to go into town. My truck has two tanks, and they were both low.
Surely I didn't run out of gas.
I flipped the switch to change tanks and turned the key. The truck fires up.
You know that feeling when you fall on your face, or smack yourself with a rake and look around to see if anyone saw you? Multiply it by about a thousand, and you'll know how I felt at that moment.
Sometimes we get caught up in the blame game: Why isn't someone helping me? Or we jump to conclusions: It's the same problem as last time. We don't look at the situation clearly and go down the wrong path in our thinking.
All I can say is: Thank God for bad Samaritans! I would have felt ten times stupider if someone had stopped to help and was standing there when I realized I ran out of gas.
God probably had a good laugh at me that day, and I can laugh about it too—now. I guess we all need a little reminder that we need to look at ourselves first before pointing fingers.
From Oct 29th to Nov 2, The Order of the Wolf will be available for free, Stenson Blues and The Eastern factor will also be on sale for $.99 each until Nov 5.
Wielding a death wish and his poleaxe, Olaf must confront haunting memories on a long journey to avenge the honor of his lost comrades and heal from his relentless grief. Along the way, he will try to die in battle, fight old foes and new, meet the love of his life, and come face-to-face with the man he most fears.
Before he is finished, Olaf must stop hiding behind his axe and find a life for himself.
After being shattered by the death of his lady love, Olaf is sent east by his namesake Uncle to recover in the relative safety of the Eastern Confederation. Even here, he cannot rest. The Empire of Jewel is marching against his uncle's fledgling Kingdom of Haven, and Olaf is tasked with finding a way to aid his uncle.
Suffering from his own internal demons of self-doubt and grief, he attacks his mission with as much gusto as he can manage, but has he learned from his previous mistakes? In order to succeed, he must form odd alliances and thread the needle of daunting Eastern politics. Has he learned enough to recognize friend from foe, and, above all, keep his own dark impulses from destroying his efforts?
The fate of the Kingdom of Haven is depending upon his success.
Coming of age is tougher when you're a Stenson.

Sunsquabi 'Instinct'
By Marquee Magazine on	 February 1, 2019 Album Reviews
Sunsquabi
In recent years, livetronica has increased in popularity via constant evolution and innovation.
During this time, Sunsquabi — the Boulder-based trio of Kevin Donohue (guitars/keys/production), Josh Fairman (bassist/ synth), and Chris Anderson (drums) — has made a name for itself by delivering its own unique style, dubbed by the band to be an "electronic hydro funk experience."
Since their debut in 2016, Sunsquabi's growth in popularity has merited them high-profile appearances at festivals like Bonnaroo, an impressive feat for a group that was demoing and recording music in a basement only a few years ago.
As they've transcended in popularity, the Colorado act's sound has taken on an evolution as well, a transformation well-evidenced on their latest record Instinct.
The 10-song tracklist reads like the passenger list on Noah's great ark, with each track taking the name of a different animal or insect. On Instinct, the band fleshes out sonic concepts for each animal and further explores this theme of transformation, particularly on the album's singles "Caterpillar," "Chrysalis," and "Night Moth."
"Caterpillar," released as a single last April, is a fiery, funk track that serves as an ode to the group's earlier sound, with the guys jamming over funk and jazz riffs accented with electronic distortion and even violin by Anderson's younger brother, Spencer.
"Night Moth" is the climax of this metamorphosis of sound: a jam ballad, with high energy instrument playing paired with electronic synths and production that seem to dance around your ears.
This intent of evolving their sound is evident on tracks like "Fisher Cat," which features The String Cheese Incident's Jason Hann. The song serves as a sonic sequel to their 2016 track "Keep It Real," introducing fuzzy electronic synth lines into a more high-powered version of the original.
The days of simpler funk and jam-based riffs seem to be behind Sunsquabi, as the group is out to create a fuller and broader soundscape by cutting studio jam sessions into songs like the ones found on Instinct.
The album is concrete evidence of the three-piece's maturation, with a greater focus on using heavier electronica while still infusing the band's characteristic take on funk and jazz onto each song.

# Install

You can install via Chocolatey `choco install lxrunoffline`, Scoop `scoop bucket add extras`, `scoop install lxrunoffline`, or download the binaries directly:
- Latest releases: https://github.com/DDoSolitary/LxRunOffline/releases
- Development builds: https://ddosolitary-builds.sourceforge.io/LxRunOffline/

### Shell extension

The right-click menu feature requires the shell extension DLL to be properly registered. This is automatically done if you used Chocolatey to install this project. However, if you downloaded the binaries directly, you need to run `regsvr32 LxRunOfflineShellExt.dll` manually to register the DLL file.

# Usage

See the [Wiki](https://github.com/DDoSolitary/LxRunOffline/wiki) to download tar files for different distros, which are used by the `LxRunOffline install` command.

Run `LxRunOffline` for available actions and run `LxRunOffline <action-name>` for available arguments/flags.

# Build

This project uses CMake as its build system. MinGW GCC and Visual C++ compilers are supported.

### Visual C++

1. Install Visual Studio 2019, latest Windows SDK, CMake and [vcpkg](https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg).

2. Install dependencies.

```
vcpkg install --triplet x64-windows-static libarchive boost-program-options boost-format boost-algorithm boost-test tinyxml2
```

3. Open "x64 Native Tools Command Prompt" from Start Menu and build.

```cmd
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. ^
    -G "NMake Makefiles" ^
    -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=<path-to-vcpkg-dir>/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake ^
    -DVCPKG_TARGET_TRIPLET=x64-windows-static
nmake
```

### MinGW

1. Install MSYS2.

2. Open the "MSYS2 MinGW 64-bit" shell from Start menu, and install dependencies.

```bash
pacman -Sy --needed --noconfirm base-devel git mingw-w64-x86_64-{toolchain,cmake,libarchive,boost,tinyxml2}
```

3. Build.

```bash
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -G "MSYS Makefiles"
make
```

### Notes

- Other CMake generators like Visual Studio and Ninja may also work, but they're neither tested nor officially supported by this project.
- Static linking is used by default. However, you can define `-DLXRUNOFFLINE_STATIC=OFF` to switch to dynamic linking. If you're building with Visual C++, you also need to change vcpkg's triplet to `x64-windows` when installing dependencies and invoking CMake.
- The build script in [CI configuration](https://github.com/DDoSolitary/LxRunOffline/blob/master/.github/workflows/build.yml) can be used as an example of how to build this project.
- The shell extension uses ATL, which is not supported by MinGW, so it will only be built when using Visual C++.

# Compatibility

- **v1.x**: Only Windows 10 Fall Creators Update (v1709) or earlier.
- **v2.x**: Only Windows 10 Fall Creators Update (v1709) or later.
- **v3.x**: Only Windows 10 April 2018 Update (v1803) or later.

It is strongly recommended to install the April 2018 Update or later and use v3.x releases.
