The Caribbean's most comprehensive museum dedicated to the slave trade and the Middle Passage, Kurá Hulanda (meaning "Dutch courtyard" in Papiamento) is also the region's largest anthropological collection on Africa. Founded by Dutch philanthropist Jacob Gelt Dekker, the museum opened in 1999 and is located on a former slave yard and merchant's home. The hair-raising Middle Passage section begins outdoors with the replica of slave pillars for public flogging, and continues indoors to showcase Curaçao's role as the epicenter of the slave trade, along with the tools used to trap, brand, and punish. For an additional $3, master storyteller Yflen Florentina takes you through the museum while sharing gripping tales from Curaçao's darkest historical period.
Curaçao's rich history dates back more than 5,000 years. This anthropological museum, housed in a collection of 18th- and 19th-century buildings, traces the island's melting pot of cultures, from the indigenous Arawaks to slaves from West Africa brought by the Dutch West India Company. You can spend hours browsing through the photographs, artifacts and fascinating exhibits, such as a re-creation of a slave ship and an old merchant house furnished with pewter pieces, paintings by Dutch and Flemish masters and period antiques.

Fifteen women exempt their co-wives and their co-wives co-wives from chalitzah and levirate marriage, until the end of the world, and these are them: His [the levir's] daughter, his daughter's daughter, his son's daughter, his wife's daughter, his wife's son's daughter, his wife's daughter's daughter, his mother-in law, his mother-in-law's mother, his father-in-law's mother, his sister from his mother, his mother's sister, his wife's sister, and his brother-from-his-mother's wife, and his bother who was not in his world's wife, and his daughter-in law. Behold, these exempt their co-wives and their co-wives' co-wives from chalitzah and levirate marriage until the end of the world. And all of these, if they die or refused, or were divorced, or were found to sterile--their co-wives are permitted [to be taken in levirate marriage]. And if you can say of his mother-in-law or his father in law's mother "she was found sterile" or "she refused".
How do they exempt their co-wives? His daughter or one of these 15 forbidden relatives was married to his brother, and he had another wife, and he died-since his daughter is exempt, so too is her co-wife exempt. His daughter's co-wife went and married his second brother, and he had another wife, and he died--since his daughter's co-wife is exempt, so too is her co-wife's co-wife exempt, even if they are 100. How is it that if they die their co-wives are permitted? His daughter or one of these forbidden relatives was married to his brother, and he has another wife, and his daughter died, or was divorced, and after that his brother died-her co-wife is permitted. And everyone who could refuse and didn't refuse, her co-wife does chalitzah and does not enter into levirate marriage.
Six forbidden relations are more severe than these, because if they are married to others, their co-wives are permitted: his mother, his father's wife, his mother's sister, his sister from his father, his father's brother's wife, and his brother-from-his-father's wife.
Beit Shammai permit their co-wives [ie require the co-wives of the severely prohibited women to participate in levirate marriage]; Beit Hillel prohibit [exempt them from levirate marriage]. If [their levirs] did chalitzah, Beit Shammai consider them invalid to marry a cohen, and Beit Hillel consider them valid. If they are married in levirate marriage, Beit Shammai consider them valid to marry a cohen, and Bait Hillel consider them invalid. Even though these prohibit and these permit; these consider valid and these consider invalid, Beit Shammai were not prevented from marrying women from Beit Hillel; and neither Beit Hillel from Beit Shammai. All of the purities and impurities that these would consider pure and these would consider impure, these were not prevented from using the purities of these on account of these.
How does it work with his brother who was not in his world's wife? Two brothers, and one of them died, and another was born to them, and after that the second took his brother's wife in levirate marriage, and died--the first wife goes out because she is the wife of his brother who was not in his world, and the second wife because of her co-wife. If he did the verbal part of marriage, then died [without consummating the marriage], the second is subject to chalitzah and not levirate marriage.
Two brothers, and one of them died, and the second took his brother's wife in levirate marriage, and after that another brother was born to them and [the older brother] died: the first wife goes out because she is the wife of his brother who was not in his world, and the second because of her co-wife. If he did the verbal part of marriage, then died [without consummating the marriage] the second wife is subject to chalitzah and not levirate marriage. Rabbi Shimon says: He does levirate marriage with whichever of them he wants, or he does chalitzah with whichever of them he wants.
The general rule they said in Yevamot: Every woman prohibited because of [biblically forbidden] nakedness, she is not subject to chalitzah and she is not taken in levirate marriage; every woman prohibited because of a [rabbinic] command or a prohibition of holiness, is subject to chalitzah and is not taken in levirate marriage.
A prohibition of commandment: teachings from the words of the scribes. A prohibition of holiness: A widow to the high priest; a divorcee or subject of chalitzah to a regular priest; a mamzer or nathin to a regular Israelite, or a daughter of Israel to a nathin or mamzer.
Anyone who has a brother, is connected to his brother's wife in levirate marriage; and he is is brother in every matter, except his brother from a maidservant or from a non-Jew. Everyone who has a son--[the son] exempts his father's wife from levirate marriage, and is liable to punishment for striking and cursing him, and his his son in ever matter, except for a son who is his from a maidservant or a non-Jew.
Someone who contracted marriage with one of two sisters, and does not know which one of them he contracted marriage with -- gives a get to this one and a get to this one. He died, and he had another brother - he does chalitzah with both of them. If he had two brothers - one does chalitzah and the other performs levirate marriage. If they both went ahead and entered into marriage with them--they are not taken away from them.
Two who contracted marriage with two sisters, this one doesn't know which he contracted with and this one doesn't know which he contracted with - this one gives two divorce documents and this one gives two divorce documents. They died, and this one had a brother and this one had a brother: This one does chalitzah with both, and this one does chalitzah with both. This one had two brothers--the single brother does chalitzah with both, and the two--one does chalitzah and the other enters into levirate marriage. If they both went ahead and entered into marriage, they are not removed from their hands. This one had two brothers and this one had two brothers: This one's brother does chalitzah with one, and this one's brother does chalitzah with one; the brother of this one performs levirate marriage with the one the other did chalitzah with, and the brother of this one performs levirate marriage with the one the other did chalitzah with. If two went ahead and did chalitzah, [the other] two do not perform levirate marriage but rather one does chalitzah and the other enters into levirate marriage. If they went ahead and entered into marriage, they are not removed from their hands.
The mitzvah of levirate marriage is upon the eldest brother, but if the younger does it first it takes effect. One who has relations with a maidservant and she is freed, or a non-Jew and she is converted--he does not marry her, but if he did, she is not taken from his hand. One who has relations with a married woman and [her husband] sends her away, she is taken away from [the adulterer] even if he married her.
One who brings a divorce document from parts foreign and says, 'it was written and signed in front of me' cannot marry his wife. [If he says], 'I killed him', or 'we killed him' -- he can't marry his wife. Rabbi Yehudah says: [one who says] 'I killed him' can't marry his wife, but [one who says] 'We killed him' can marry his wife.
The sage who prohibits a woman to her husband with a vow can't marry her. If before the sage she refuses [a husband she has been married off to as a minor] or does chalitzah, he can marry her, because he is [acting as part of] a court. And everyone who had wives and they died--they can marry them. And everyone who had wives but divorced them or they were found to be sterile--they can marry them. And all of these are permitted to their sons or their brothers.
Four brothers: Two of them marry two sisters, and the ones married to the sisters die. These do chalitzah and are not taken in levirate marriage. And if they went ahead and married them, they are removed. Rabbi Eliezer says: The House of Shammai say: [the marriages] stand, and the House of Hillel say: they are removed.
One of [the sisters] was prohibited to him from one of the prohibited relationships-he is prohibited to her and permitted to her sister, and the second is prohibited to both of them. A rabbinically prohibited relation or prohibited because of holiness [of the priests]--they do chalitzah and not levirate marriage.
One of [the sisters] was prohibited to this [brother] as a forbidden relation, and the second [sister] was prohibited on [the other brother] as a forbidden relation, the [sister] forbidden to this [brother] is permitted to this [brother], and the [sister] forbidden to this [brother] is permitted to this [brother]. This is what they meant when they said: Her sister like she is her leviress: she may do chalitzah or levirate marriage.
Three brothers: Two of them marry two sisters, or a woman and her daughter, or a woman and her daughter's daughter, or a woman and her son's daughter, these women perform chalitzah and not levirate marriage. And Rabbi Shimon exempts. If one of them was prohibited to him from the forbidden relations, he is prohibited to her and permitted to her sister. If she was prohibited to him by a [rabinnical] commandment or by a prohibition of holiness, [both women] do chalitzah and not levirate marriage.
Three brothers: Two of them marry two sisters, and the other [brother] is unmarried, one of the husbands of the sisters dies, and the single brother performed verbal designation, and afterwards his second brother dies, Beit Shammai say: His wife is with him, and that one goes out as the sister of a wife. And Beit Hillel say: He takes out his wife with a bill of divorce and with chalitzah, and his brother's wife with chalitzah. This is what they meant by: Woe to him on his wife, and woe to him on his brother's wife.
Three brothers: Two of them marry two sisters, and one marries an outside woman, one of the husbands of the sisters dies, and the one who married the outside woman marries his wife and dies, the first one goes out as a wife's sister, and the second as her co-wife. If he [only] performed verbal designation, the outside woman does chalitzah and not levirate marriage. Three brothers: Two of them marry two sisters, and one marries an outside woman, the brother married to the outsider dies, and one of the husbands of the sisters marries his wife and dies, the first one goes out as the sister of a wife, and the second as her rival. If he [only] performed verbal designation, the outside woman does chalitzah and not levirate marriage.

Hi I'm new here,but I visited the forum and site a long time ago.
I found this glitch but I don't know if it was already found by someone.
The glitch is noxus jumping in arcterra until you defeat the first boss here.
What you have to do is to first enter arcterra and go to the place where you see noxus fighting trace.
Go trough the wall near from the door by jumping and take the elevator.Scan all the switches there.
Now go to the left and double bomb jump or use a missile to go up on the wall and jump in the small space in the wall.
arcterra and the secret world.This make you load the main map.
Now go where the first artifact is,but not too near or you'll enter the room and the door will still be locked.
Use the double bomb jump and boost towards in the air to go near the magmaul door.
go to take the artifact and activate the noxus cutscene,then leave and go to your ship.
When you return here,noxus will be still jumping as if you see him before fighting him.
Don't know if this is mentioned yet, but if you're playing Multiplayer as Samus in Harvester, on the leftmost entrance of the yellow side, you turn into morphball and go to the left corner and boost towards the corner. If you aim correctly, you should go through the wall and die. Not useful, but funny to watch.
In this video you can see how I escaped to the battle making a glitch very hard, is almost impossible, really.
Interesting trick there. Previously, Trace was only skippable through secret worlds(and even then, I am not quite sure if you can enter Arcterra II without beating him, as killing him deactivates the force field in front of the Magmaul door). This could possibly be a new speed trick, though the quick run through Fault Line after beating Trace during the escape might still be faster.
Thanks for your information, but I CAN´T DO AGAIN, is very hard...I can only do it few times.
Next video, I escaped of the battle in Alinos. I used the morphball, but you can do the missile jump too.
Is curiosly, becuase, then, appear walls that they aren´t allowed to enter in this place again.
1) For the first video, after skipping the battle can you pick up the two artifacts or is skipping it not useful to a speed run?
2) If the answer to one is that there is a way to obtain the artifacts after skipping the battle, then can you still take the portal that you activate in Council Chamber/High Ground even though that barrier exists or is that not possible either?
Some quick questions regarding your last post, juliano: 1) For the first video, after skipping the battle can you pick up the two artifacts or is skipping it not useful to a speed run? 2) If the answer to one is that there is a way to obtain the artifacts after skipping the battle, then can you still take the portal that you activate in Council Chamber/High Ground even though that barrier exists or is that not possible either?
But...how can you get the artifacts without fighting versus the enemy?
I'm pretty sure this hasn't been mentioned before: When I was battling Trace on the first fight with him once, he attacked with the Triskelion, missed, and then ended up in the place shown below, stuck forever.
I have no idea how this happened, but for some reason, whenever I begin the fight with noxus on arcterra, trace is shooting the imperialist at FOUR TIMES its normal firing speed. Has this happened before?
Trace is supposed to have a rapid-fire imperialist beam when he gets angry.

CREA reports home sales in September up 15.5% from year ago
Home sales through the Canadian Multiple Listing Service were up 0.6 per cent month over month
Oct. 15, 2019 4:30 p.m.
Home sales in Canada's big cities continued a rebound in September with a 15.5 per cent increase in sales compared with a year ago, according to the Canadian Real Estate Association.
The association said Tuesday that sales compared with a year ago were up in Canada's large urban markets, including B.C.'s Lower Mainland, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, the Greater Toronto Area, Hamilton-Burlington, Ottawa and Montreal, while data showed markets were still in balanced territory.
"Home sales activity and prices are improving after having weakened significantly in a number of housing markets," said CREA chief economist Gregory Klump in a statement.
"How long the current rebound continues depends on economic growth, which is being subdued by trade and business investment uncertainties."
On a month-over-month basis, home sales through the Canadian Multiple Listing Service were up 0.6 per cent in September.
Higher home sales in September was a continuation of a rebound from a six-year low hit in February. Sales started to pick up in March after mortgage rates started to fall, said BMO senior economist Robert Kavcic.
"The winning streak for Canadian existing home sales continued in September…that marks an impressive seventh consecutive monthly gain, leaving the level of activity comfortably above the 10-year average."
ALSO READ: Vancouver's luxury real estate market to get a boost, forecast says
The five-year fixed mortgage rate has declined by about one percentage point to slightly below 2.5 per cent, a drop Kavcic said was significant from an affordability perspective but not likely to drop much further for now.
The increase in sales, combined with a small decline in new supply, pushed the sales-to-new listings ratio to 61.3 per cent, well above the long-term average of 53.6 per cent to favour sellers, but still considered balanced.
The home inventory, which shows how long it would take to liquidate inventories at current sales levels, also shifted to further favour sellers while still remaining in what's considered a balanced market.
The national average price for homes sold in September 2019 was about $515,500, up 5.3 per cent from the same month last year.
Excluding the Greater Vancouver and Greater Toronto regions, the average price was less than $397,000 and amounting to a year-over-year gain of 3.3 per cent
The national benchmark home price index, designed to exclude homes on the high and low end of the market to more represent a typical home, had a year over year price increase of a more modest 1.3 per cent.
Benchmark home prices in Greater Vancouver were down the most from a year ago after a 7.3 per cent decline. The Greater Toronto area saw the benchmark price climb five per cent, while Ottawa saw the biggest gains reported at 9.6 per cent from a year ago.

A young father recently came under fire in IKEA for making use of the parents room.
Adam Edwards was shopping in a department store recently with his one-year-old twins, and four-year-old daughter, when he needed to use the toilet.
Rather than enter the men's bathroom with three babies in toe, Adam decided that using the parents room facility would be more convenient.
As Adam left the room, he was confronted by a mother in the store who was not pleased with his use of the parent facility.
Adam's wife, and mother to his three children, Tamika, spoke to Kidspot about the experience.
Apparently, even after Adam informed the woman that he had his children in the room with him, she seemed unfazed and did not apologise.
"We both thought it had something to do with him being a man," she said, believing that Adam was targeted as a result of his gender.
SHARE if you think Adam was treated poorly!

PORSCHE is not alone among revered sports car brands in taking the odd evolutionary turn that initially sits about as comfortably as a sandpaper scarf around a purist's neck.
When the iconic 911 dropped its air-cooled engine for the 996 generation, for example, diehards ran around throwing their Nomex undies on bonfires. Then, more recently, when the entire Carrera range went turbo, Stuttgart flags were burned in the streets.
Yet the 911 still stands elevated as among the most complete sports cars of them all. (If you think otherwise, there's still space in next month's Inbox to air your flameproof undergarments).
The Panamera took the converse approach by starting out with weird proportions that polarised Porsche punters right up until its replacement, thankfully, with a second-generation version that looks more like a 911 reared on a diet of growth hormones – proportionally lovely, just bigger.
This car is the new Panamera flagship; a balls out horizon eater that cements its performance credentials through the addition of an electrically assisted powertrain.
While the Panamera 4 E-Hybrid uses much the same electric hardware as this Turbo S E-Hybrid, that model plugs a gap between Panamera 4 and 4S; with its focus on minimal consumption. But with this range-topper, Porsche global communications manager Hermann-Josef Stappen explains that the company sets out to prepare fans for halo models that deliver electrifying performance from a battery.
But before we get into how convincingly the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid delivers on its high-performance promise, let's look at the hardware that sets it apart from the regular Turbo. In the combustion-only car, a 4.0-litre turbo V8 sends 404kW and 770Nm to all four wheels, but the hybrid Turbo S adds to this with a 100kW motor incorporated into the eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox, drawing from a 14kWh lithium-ion battery.
Cost? An extra $75,600 over the Turbo, and an additional 300kg to lug about, yet the advantages are clear. Official combined cycle consumption drops to 2.9L/100km while the 0-100km/h claim is trimmed by two tenths to 3.4sec. As a plug-in hybrid, the Turbo S can commute up to 50km without using any fuel at all, says Porsche.
During our first blast in the hybridised Panamera Turbo S on Canada's Vancouver Island we managed to temporarily bludgeon the fuel economy figure into the 20s, but in fear of Canada's speed enforcement – even stricter than Australia's, would you believe – most of our road driving was sedate, which brought a corresponding drop in thirst.
Unlike some PHEVs that have a sewing machine to back up the petrol engine, the Porsche's 100kW/400Nm of emissions-free electric grunt easily covers normal driving without having to poke the V8 into life.
In default 'E' driving mode as prescribed by the steering wheel mounted selector, the accelerator has an obvious detent in its travel that politely discourages you from prodding through into its fossil fuel reserves, but turn the switch to 'H' and the notch in the throttle's travel is removed.
The Panamera's transition into combustion power is eerily seamless. At one point, I thought I had detected the distant rumble of the V8 firing to life but it turned out to be a Chevrolet Silverado with a side-exit exhaust pulling alongside for a closer look.
The 3996cc Porsche V8's power is prodigious and the delivery broad, while the assistance of the 400Nm electric motor results in the most wonderfully muscular and willing powertrain.
There is little turbo lag thanks to the siting of the two turbos in the V8's valley, close to the exhaust ports, and any hint of dullness just off idle is erased by the motor.
While the 2.3-tonne Panamera isn't the most obvious track tool – especially on the tight Vancouver Island Motorsport Circuit, which packs more turns than Phillip Island into about half the distance – the Turbo S has more pleasant surprises in store.
Despite its long 2950mm wheelbase and broad 1937mm body, the Panamera carves a surprisingly precise line. In tight turns, the optional four-wheel steering can be felt providing the effect of a shorter wheelbase, mid-corner grip is bountiful, and the standard-fit carbon ceramic brakes with monstrous ten-piston calipers provide terrific feel and unfading power.
Officially, the Panamera is all-wheel drive, but with the selector dialled to Sport Plus the big sedan does a convincing impression of a rear-driver. The nose tips keenly into corners with minimal complaint from the tyres as its torque vectoring subtly and effectively tightens the angle of attack.
Under hard braking into the circuit's steep descents, the tail can be shaken loose, revealing a delightful playfulness, yet it can be gathered up with the chatty steering in a manner that's uncommon in cars of this weight and size.
Acceleration is equally defiant of the Panamera's weight, and the electric surge from rest would seem to support the 3.2sec 0-100km/h claim. The four test cars had been put through track punishment for more than a week by the time we strapped in, yet were showing no signs of exhaustion – typical Porsche stoicism we're pleased to see the Panamera imbued with.
On Canada's iconic pine-lined roads, the big four-seat proves to be an accomplished cruiser, which is precisely how most customers will use their Panamera. Although we didn't do a back-to-back comparison, the Turbo S E-Hybrid's ride seems just as polished as the Turbo's and the comfort of the sports seats is stunning. Three-stage adaptive dampers and air suspension smooth all but the most offensive road imperfections and the cabin ambience is on a par with a BMW 7 Series or Mercedes-Benz S-Class.
If you're a fan of the existing Panamera range then the good news is that, on top of the Hybrid's startling turn of speed, the regular Turbo's appealing dynamic package is largely unchanged. From the outside, there are few hints at its super-hybrid status other than the Zombie Squad fluoro green badges and calipers.
Quite where the Acid Green flashes will surface next in the Porsche line-up remains unconfirmed, but next year's 992 911 seems a safe bet. Either way, the decision to begin the rollout of this new, performance-focused hybrid strategy with the Panamera as its ambassador, is a calculated move.
If the 911 had led the charge into electrified high-performance Porsches it's likely to have caused seismic unrest, but thanks to the abilities of the company's first hybrid range-topper, and its uncompromised teaming of performance and zero-emissions capability, Porsche's electrified future is starting to make sense.

Case life in the fast lane fast food chains race to be number one
Share this article Share When it comes to why people decide to eat at fast food restaurants, Wansink refers to a study that found, 'aside from hunger, participants claimed they started eating because of the salience of food "I saw the food"the social aspects of eating "I wanted to be with other people"or simply because eating provided them with something to do. Fast food chains all play on these desires in the way they are positioned and marketed.
Still other prospective operators answered Kroc's newspaper ads;
Over the course of the decade, the thousand stores that the company opened overseas fueled its 27 percent annual growth rate;
It's wrapped in paper or a box that's easy to open and you don't need to worry about a knife and fork or cutting up the food first - as you can eat the burgers, chips and nuggets with your fingers;
He thought McDonald's could make money by leasing or buying potential store sites and then subleasing them to franchisees initially at a 20 percent markup, and then at a 40 percent markup;
They had also devised the rudiments of a hamburger assembly line so they could deliver orders in less than sixty seconds.
By having restaurants in High Streets, shopping centres and motorway service stations, they can tempt people in to eat when they're shopping or driving somewhere - even when they're not hungry.
They entice people by showing pictures of the food on offer in window display posters and on large, bright boards above the tills.
Those buying large sizes are more likely to consume the whole thing, as explained above, but are also not always likely to be alarmed by the amount they have consumed;
Consequently Kroc took great pains to differentiate McDonald's from these players -- for competitive and intellectual reasons;
But I couldn't do that and, at the same time, treat him as a customer," he said.
They play on the 'wanting to be with out people' aspect by providing a space for people to sit down around a table and eat together, rather than having long benches of seats where people can't interact with one another or having no seating area at all. Providing a space for people to sit and eat also means they are more likely to stay longer and eat more courses - returning for dessert or another fizzy drink.
They can also do this by making people queue and order at the counter, rather than offering table service.
This means the customer has to wait to see the person in front of them being served their food at the counter on a tray. The first customer will then walk back past the waiting customers who will see and smell the food on their tray - again enticing the waiting customer to order more when it's their turn.
The music fast food restaurants play can also effect how much we eat. Hearing soft music that's not too up-tempo has been proven to encourage diners to stay at a restaurant longer and eat more.
Hence, slow songs and easy going pop music is played in fast food restaurants - not drum and bass or techno dance tracks.
REVEALED: The tricks fast food restaurants use to get you to eat more
Do you want fries with that? This isn't to make life easier for the time-strapped customer but again to make them consume more. Studies have found that one of the strongest influences on consumption is ease of access.
Sure, there was one store for every 90,000 citizens of the United States in 1972. And to their great chagrin, Kroc took to offering unsolicited advice on how they could improve their businesses.
This insured that operators unwillingly to play by his rules could open no more than one outlet.
By 1960, there were more than 200 McDonald's outlets across the country, a rapid expansion fueled by low franchising fees. Kroc instantly knew he had seen the future.
This insured that operators unwillingly to play by his rules could open no more than one outlet. Unable to strike it big in Tinseltown, the brothers wound up as proprietors of a drive-in restaurant in San Bernardino, a dusty outpost fifty-five miles east of Los Angeles.
This refers to the effort it takes to obtain the food and the ease required to eat it. Fast food restaurants solve this by serving food quickly and in a way that's easy to eat. It's wrapped in paper or a box that's easy to open and you don't need to worry about a knife and fork or cutting up the food first - as you can eat the burgers, chips and nuggets with your fingers. They encourage people to think they are saving money when they could actually be buying more food than they need.
Studies have shown that by offering people variety they are more likely to overindulge.
Ray Kroc, McDonald's, And The Fast-Food Industry
So a meal deal where a person gets chips with their burger means they'll eat both - even if they were only actually hungry enough to eat one or the other. When presented with this one, large bucket of chicken, many people would eat the lot.
But he was barely turning a profit. Embracing Sonneborn's idea, in 1956 Kroc set up a subsidiary, the Franchise Realty Corporation, to execute the new strategy.
But Kroc believed the company needed to continue to expand in order to survive.
Kroc's sales experience taught him that business was a Darwinian proposition, in which those least fit and adaptable would go the way of the dinosaur. And he couldn't afford to tread water.
Expanding the Ronald McDonald campaign created by the Washington franchises, the company outfitted the clown with a gaggle of kid-friendly characters such as Hamburglar, Mayor McCheese, and Grimace, a large purple creature who craved shakes and french fries.
But if the same amount of chicken was given to them in three smaller boxes, they wouldn't eat it all The way the portions are served also encourages over-eating. Having one bucket of chicken means people are more likely to eat all the chicken in the bucket as it's perceived as one portion.
But if the same number of pieces of chicken were divided into three boxes, people are less likely to eat the contents of all three. Wansink points out that 'although the physical effort to open the small component packages is minimal, a psychological barrier may prevent individuals from opening another item if they have already opened and eaten several of them.
Part of the reason is that the smaller packages provide discrete stopping points for a person to reconsider whether he or she wants to continue eating. Those buying large sizes are more likely to consume the whole thing, as explained above, but are also not always likely to be alarmed by the amount they have consumed. This is another crafty trick of the fast food industry - they have made consuming large portions seem to be 'the norm'.
They implicitly suggest what might be construed as a 'normal' or 'appropriate' amount to consume. Even if individuals do not clean their plates or finish the package, the larger size gives them liberty to consume beyond the point where they might have stopped with a smaller, but still unconstrained, supply. There is a flexible range as to how much food an individual can eat and one can often "make room for more". Many seemingly isolated influences of consumption - such as package size, variety, plate size, or the presence of others - may involve or suggest a consumption norm that influences how much individuals will eat or drink.

For a dog to undergo surgery is scary and the very least thing for an owner to wish for his/her dog. While recovery process may be simple, the first few weeks after surgery will need special care for the dog. Following the next few days after surgery, the dog will show signs of grogginess, unable to control his walk and cannot balance, and will be sleepy most of the time. Most often than not, the 2 days after surgery is a crucial concern for the dog since he/she will more likely experience the following: nausea, vomiting, panting, loss of appetite and sometimes loss of bladder control. Here are common and practical tips that can help dog owners provide the proper aftercare service to their dogs.
When the dog wakes up after the surgery, a cone, E-collar or Elizabethan collar, is attached on his/her neck to prevent him/her from licking the wounds or biting the fresh stitches on the wounds. There are, however, some dogs who will persistently look for ways to remove their cone as it's an attachment that they are not used to, so there's another alternative to cones, which is a special fabric clothing, which can be worn around his neck, which the dog will find it hard to remove.
Dogs are not used to being given medication, but when they have to take in medicine they can easily detect that it's not food and will dodge it away, most especially if the medicine pill is mixed with the dog's regular food. Knowing that dog treats are preferred by dogs, a special one like dog treat medication, where the medicine is concealed in it, can be given instead. If this will still not work, a pill gun which will forcibly put the pill into the dog's throat, will do.
Once the dog is allowed to go home, the vet will give instructions on how to clean the wound with betadine or, in some cases, wash the wound with salt water, or cleaning a drain site 2-3 times a day or how to change bandages. The most that can be done is regular checking of the wound for signs of infection, like an excessive white or yellow pus.
It is also important to give more water to the dog, after surgery, to keep from being dehydrated. Attention must be given when water is given, since the dog might still be groggy and might droop his/her head while drinking and may cause his/her drowning.
Even when the anesthesia wears off, the dog will feel groggy and sleepy, so to help him/her to rest comfortably, provide a comfortable place to rest or a soft cushion to sleep on. If there are other dogs in the house, as much as possible, isolate the wounded dog from them to prevent these dogs from licking on the wound.
