Tassilo von Heydebrand und der Lasa (* 17. Oktober 1818 in Berlin; † 27. Juli 1899 in Storchnest bei Lissa, Provinz Posen) war ein deutscher Schachmeister und -theoretiker.

Herkunft
Seine Eltern waren der preußische Generalmajor Heinrich von Heydebrand und der Lasa und dessen Ehefrau Emilie Thomann (1785–1875).

Werdegang
Heydebrand studierte Rechtswissenschaft in Bonn und Berlin. Seit 1845 war er Diplomat im Dienste Preußens, seine Laufbahn als Gesandter führte ihn u. a. bis nach Stockholm, Kopenhagen und Rio de Janeiro. Tassilo von Heydebrand und der Lasa war verheiratet; sein Sohn Heinrich wurde politisch aktiv und war u. a. einige Jahre Mitglied des Preußischen Herrenhauses.

Ende der 1830er Jahre stieß von der Lasa als Student zu der später nach dem Siebengestirn benannten Berliner Schachschule, die sich um Ludwig Bledow gebildet hatte. Diese Gruppe von Meistern gab der theoretischen Erforschung des Spiels einen entscheidenden Auftrieb. In den Berliner Schach-Erinnerungen fasste von der Lasa diese kurze, aber bedeutsame Phase der Schachgeschichte zusammen.

Der heutigen Schachwelt ist Tassilo von Heydebrand und der Lasa vor allem durch die im Jahr 1843 erstmals vorgenommene Herausgabe des Handbuchs des Schachspiels bekannt, das Paul Rudolph von Bilguer konzipiert hatte, der jedoch, im Jahr 1840 verstorben, das Erscheinen seines Werkes nicht mehr erlebte. Von Heydebrand und der Lasa setzte die Arbeit des Verstorbenen fort und setzte dessen Namen selbstlos in der Autorenschaft voran, so dass das legendäre Buch seither als das Handbuch (der "Bilguer") bekannt wurde. Es enthielt unter anderem umfangreiche Analysen aller damals bekannten Eröffnungsvarianten. Von Heydebrand und der Lasa bearbeitete bis 1874 noch vier weitere Auflagen.

Auch über das Handbuch des Schachspiels hinaus war von Heydebrand und der Lasa ein renommierter Schachforscher und -theoretiker, was zahlreiche Aufsätze in der Berliner bzw. (seit 1871) Deutschen Schachzeitung und sein 1897 erschienenes Werk Zur Geschichte und Literatur des Schachspiels belegen. Er verfügte über eine bedeutende Sammlung von Schachliteratur, über die ein zuletzt im Jahr 1896 von ihm herausgegebenes Verzeichnis existiert.

Im Jahr 1850 warb von Heydebrand und der Lasa in der Schachzeitung für ein internationales Schachturnier, welches das erste seiner Art gewesen wäre und in Trier hätte stattfinden sollen. Jedoch kamen die Pläne nicht zur Durchführung, das erste internationale Schachturnier fand 1851 in London statt.

Neben diesen theoretischen Leistungen war von Heydebrand und der Lasa um die Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts auch einer der weltbesten Spieler. Seine höchste historische Elo-Zahl betrug 2630 im Januar 1852, er führte die nachträglich berechnete historische Eloliste von Oktober 1851 bis Dezember 1852 an. Zahlreiche Partien trug er insbesondere mit Carl Mayet und Wilhelm Hanstein aus. In einem Wettkampf siegte er gegen den herausragenden Meister Howard Staunton. Vor dem Hintergrund seiner diplomatischen Laufbahn zog sich von Heydebrand und der Lasa jedoch bald vom praktischen Spiel zurück.

Für sein unermüdliches Wirken im Sinne des Schachs wurde er im Jahr 1898 als Erster mit der Ehrenmitgliedschaft im Deutschen Schachbund ausgezeichnet.

Familie
Er heiratete 24. April 1860 Anna Henriette Amalie von Helldorff (1831–1880). Das Paar hatte einen Sohn Heinrich Bernhard Adolf Thassilo (1861–1924), der 1890 die Gräfin Gisela Ottilie Maria von Matuschka (* 24. März 1872) heiratete.

Do you have "low battery anxiety"? Many of us worry that our smartphones will run out of battery. Thus, many people look for the nearest power outlet at coffee shops.
Coffee shops want to provide a good customer experience, including charging solutions. It increases traffic and revenue, just like WiFi. It creates differentiation and builds their brand.
Many locations install charging spots (e.g. Qi pads, USB sockets). But today's charging spots need to be wired. "Floating tables" (or those not next to a wall), don't provide charging options. If you don't grab a table by the wall, you can't charge.
Wi-Charge offers a unique solution for public venues.
The Wi-Charge solution includes charging stations that can be placed on any free-standing tables. Overhead Wi-Charge transmitters deliver energy to the charging stations. These transmitters use safe invisible light and have regulatory approval.
Each charging station has a standard Qi pad and USB socket. It can charge any smartphone without needing special accessories. It is compatible with most phones. It is easy to install and is maintenance-free.
With Wi-Charge, cafe owners offer their customers a unique service. Customers get their phones charged. Everyone is happy.

Kidscape is a London-based charity established in 1985, by child psychologist Michele Elliott. Its focus is on children's safety, with an emphasis on the prevention of harm by equipping children with techniques and mindsets that help them stay safe.

After a 1984–1986 survey of 4000 children, their parents and teachers, it was apparent that the main threat to children came from people known to them – bullies, friends, or family members. Kidscape's Child Protection programmes are now taught UK-wide in thousands of schools and community groups.

Activities
Kidscape's work falls into four main categories:
 Providing children, families and professionals with advice and information to keep children safe.
 Providing a range of training opportunities for professionals working with children and young people to support the provision of safe and nurturing environments.
 Delivering high impact programmes of support for children, parents, care-givers and professionals to prevent bullying and keep children safe.
 Working through a variety of communication channels, partners, campaigns and events to raise awareness of bullying and how to stop it.

Work with external organisations
Kidscape is a member of the Anti-bullying Alliance and the National Suicide Prevention Alliance

Awards
 In 1998 Smith Kline Beecham awarded Kidscape an Impact Award recognising Kidscape's work in improving community health.
 In September 2000, Kidscape was named UK Charity of the Year in the first Charity Times awards.
 In 2007 Kidscape was Highly Commended in the 2007 Charity Awards Children and Youth category and Michele Elliott was Highly Commended in the Charity Principal of the Year category.
 In the New Year Honours 2008, Michele Elliott was awarded an Order of the British Empire by HM the Queen in recognition of her services to children.

Patrons
Kidscape's patrons are children's author and journalist Anthony Horowitz and Dame Mary Perkins, co-founder of SpecSavers.

Controversy
The effectiveness of Kidscape's methods for handling bullying behaviour were criticized in 1997 for not being benchmarked against other methods for preventing bullying. In some cases other education experts felt that Kidscape's methods might encourage further bullying. However, a 2018 independent evaluation of Kidscape's approach found that 98% of children felt more able to deal with bullying and three-quarters experienced a significant and sustained drop in bullying.

Here's a report that confirms, I'm afraid, what I know from clinical experience, particularly in my work in remote communities. It seems large numbers of Australians still don't "get" the importance of their daily dental hygiene – or at least not until it's too late, and they are losing teeth.
I love the work I do with dental implants, but I'm still finding myself placing far too many to replace teeth that could, with proper care, have lasted many more years.
Brush thoroughly twice a day, ideally with an electric toothbrush. If you have lost any gum, either through gum disease or simply through aging, you should take special care to clean between your teeth, using floss or one of the interproximal brushes available from the chemist. Talk to us if you are unsure what's best for you.

Is steel, wood or concrete the most 'green' building material?
By Patchen Barss - Published on May 30, 2016
Illustration by Matthew Daley
If the fairy tale of the Three Little Pigs were written today, the pigs' homes would likely be built not out of straw, branches and bricks, but instead out of wood, steel and concrete. And the porky trio would be imperiled not by a big bad wolf, but by environmental cataclysm.
Any child reading the original story could tell you immediately that sticks and straw wouldn't ever offer lupine stopping power, and that bricks were the obvious choice from the get-go. But it gets more complicated for modern builders trying to select materials based on what might save their ecological bacon.
Advocates for all three major construction materials lay claim to certain environmental merits. Steel can be essentially infinitely recycled and reused without degradation. Trees regrow, and lumber used in construction stores carbon dioxide. And new additives hold the potential to dramatically reduce concrete's staggering carbon footprint.
"This is a longstanding battle between three main structural types in Canada," says Terri Meyer Boake, professor of architecture at the University of Waterloo. "The environmental issues have just focused the arguments a little more, because they have actually something real to debate."
Our journalism depends on you.
You can count on TVO to cover the stories others don't—to fill the gaps in the ever-changing media landscape. But we can't do this without you.
Boake and many others say context matters in choice of materials, and that the impact of these materials is interrelated. Concrete, for instance, has fly ash in it, which is a byproduct of steelmaking. Ontario's vibrant steel industry effectively makes both steel and concrete locally sourced materials in the province, but the same doesn't hold true for, say, Quebec or B.C.
Not everyone sees the nuance, though.
"Wood is ahead of the other materials. Period," says Marianne Berube, the director of Wood Works! Ontario, the provincial arm of a Canadian Wood Council campaign aimed at promoting wood use in construction. "Wood is the only renewable building product. You plant trees, grow, harvest and replant. Carbon is stored in buildings. It's a huge benefit in climate change."
She also points to technological advances like cross-laminated timber – a strong prefabricated material made by layering wood and adhesive – that makes wood viable for low-rise or even high-rise construction.
The University of British Columbia is building a record-setting 18-storey residence out of wood, and Vancouver architects are also involved in a project to create a wooden 35-floor mixed-use tower in Paris. Ontario recently changed its construction codes to allow six-storey wood buildings.
Boake agrees that cross-laminated timber and related wood products such as chipboard and laminated veneer lumber make wood a viable contender for green buildings. But she says claims that wood turns towers into global-warming-mitigating carbon sinks have to be evaluated carefully.
"If you leave the tree where it is, it's not just storing carbon but also producing oxygen," she says. And even though wood is inarguably reusable, that's not the same as saying it is reused. "When you take down a building, you can salvage the wood, but I have not yet seen a house demolished that wasn't demolished by a big backhoe. A lot of times they'll just dump the wood."
This explains why steel gets bragging rights as North America's most recycled material. While wood is often thrown away and recycled concrete gets ground down into roadbed material, recovered steel retains its versatility.
"It doesn't matter if the steel was a washing machine, a car or a building, it can be melted down and become whatever it needs to be," Boake says. "When they make new steel from old, they might have to add alloys, but it's never downcycled. It's never, 'We used this so many times we have to throw it out.'"
Still it's worth remembering that of the three Rs of environmental stewardship, recycling is still more energy and resource intensive than reusing or reducing.
"Yes, steel is recyclable, but that recycling also has a carbon footprint," says Janet Sumner, an environmental activist and the executive director of the Canadian Parks and Wildlands Services' Wildlands League. "It all has to go to a recycling facility – which means there's also transportation or haulage. But if it's replacing the need for new steel, that's probably going to have a smaller carbon footprint."
Sumner spent a significant part of her career working on waste management, recycling and diversion projects. She says an organization like hers can only endorse the claims for a building material if they have complete and transparent data. While the calculations are complex, she finds it encouraging that these sectors are battling for ecological supremacy.
"What I do have is great hope," she says. "It's almost funny to see industries trying to outcompete each other on climate change. I'm now seeing proposals come across my desk saying, 'We're better,' 'No, we're better.' Some of it will be true, some won't, but the fact that they are so motivated to be at the top of the class is staggering."
For organizations like the Wildlands League, greenhouse gases are not the only consideration. Sumner's equations also factor in issues such as biodiversity, health of native populations, and diversion of waste products created during resource production.
Even with all that complexity, everybody agrees on one thing:
"Concrete has a huge task on its hand," Sumner says.
This single building material – the second-most consumed material on Earth after water – is responsible for between five and 10 per cent of all human-related greenhouse gases. Most of these emissions result from the production of cement – a key component of concrete. Cement holds together the sand and gravel that gives concrete its structure.
At Lakehead University, chemistry professor Stephen Kinrade has developed a remedy. He has found a "biosourced additive," a polyol compound found in the waste stream of the pulp and paper industry that adds super-strength to a concrete mixture. Some simple math shows how this strength can be converted into kindness.
"Builders typically aren't trying to make stronger concrete, but to build to specific requirements," he says. "They have different specifications for a bridge, a sidewalk or a building wall. With this additive, they can meet those specifications by adding 25 to 40 per cent less cement to the concrete."
Kinrade says the science is solid, but that getting the additive into widespread use has been more of a challenge than he expected.
"The building industry is hyper-conservative," he says. "The piggies are building their house to last for a hundred years. They are very reluctant to try new things, because they have technology that works."
Concrete, for instance, is commonly reinforced with steel rebar. Steel survives well in concrete's alkaline embrace. The building industry is leery of recipe changes for fear of introducing rebar-rotting acidity into the mix.
Kinrade's research has concluded that his additive doesn't affect alkalinity or any other relevant chemistry. Still, he continues to work to assuage the industry's concerns, examining things like the microstructures where the gravel and sand meet the cement to ensure that reducing carbon emissions comes at no cost to structural strength and durability.
No single construction material is likely to outpace the others as the building industry's silver bullet. In fact, the three main materials will likely only become more interconnected.
"Globally, there are a lot of collaborations between steel, concrete and wood industries to create hybrid technologies," says Mohini Sain, an engineer and materials scientist professor at the University of Toronto. "Steel and concrete already join hands to create buildings that are 100 or 120 floors. But we could see wood laminates with steel as reinforcement. At U of T, we've been doing significant research in concrete and solid wood."
High-tech eco-friendly hybrid materials might themselves seem to be the stuff of fairy tales, but with climate change's hot breath already huffing and puffing at our door, they may be our best chance to live happily ever after.

Why Families Love their Meryl Streep Actress.
by rdrweb · January 11, 2023
And it is scrumptious, it's camp, it's genius as far as its performances go. Oh, and of course, there's Isabella Rossellini, an additional bona fide queer icon who's providing 1 of the good comedic performances of all time. She's much like Meryl Streep, these are men and women that are not known necessarily for comedy.
She studied economics and psychology at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland, and worked briefly for the Foreign Workplace in London and as a journalist before moving on to be an marketing copywriter.
Louisa stars as young gentlewoman Marian Brook opposite Christine Baranski, Cynthia Nixon andCarrie Coon.
One particular of the plaintiffs, the mother of a child who committed suicide, is also pursuing a claim for intentional infliction of emotional distress against TikTok.
And as you point out, it is since that set of political elites decided to simplify to try and you know scale back their manage of the provinces, for instance.
The songs are catchy and inviting, but the plot is just rather flat compared to other motion pictures on this list.
The historic difficulty Kevin McCarthy had finding his part of a lifetime was due to the fact he is neither a incredibly fantastic actor nor a especially principled politician. He gave away the retailer to less than ten % of his conference in order to fulfill his private ambitions. If he understood that he is very first and foremost an actor, he could have had an less difficult time of it. This is surely the case with celebrities and politicians who are consistently on stage.
The Basic Of Meryl Streep Actress
It is tough to judge the excellent of a garment via Technicolor film. A Loro Piana cashmere isn't an identifiable symbol of the vain, vicious upper class, but a feathered dressing gown says it loud and clear. You can even get started to root for, or want to become, the most outlandish examples. "I constantly feel like robes in films reveal so significantly about a character.
"The title of this film should really be amended to Julie, Julia, and Nora. Nora Ephron's script and path, along with the performances of Meryl Streep and Amy Adams, add up to one particular joyous picture." "The performances are oddly muted, as if the screenplay refuses to let a fine cast full rein," Derek Malcolm wrote for the London Evening Regular url. Jennifer Lawrence is a well-recognized skillful actress identified for her part in The Hunger Games trilogy as well as her role in the 20th Century Fox version of the younger X-guys movies as Raven/Mystique.
"That is why she wanted to talk to you. We did not talk so please never ever bring this up. But I will swear to you this was not her thought nor did she do it willingly or happily. By October 2022, the rumor was as soon as again circulating on social media, mostly pushing the version like Hudson, Hathaway, Downey Jr., and Gaga. It is hard to say why the alleged remake rumor is producing the rounds again, even though the black comedy did celebrate its 30th anniversary in July.
Meryl Streep has had an illustrious profession, to say the very least. From starring inThe Deer Hunterto theMamma Miafranchise, her filmography is a varied a single, comprised of iconic roles that show Streep as one particular of the most dextrous actors of the contemporary era. There's no topic matter that Streep is afraid of tackling, and this has allowed her to provide time and time once again with minimal misfires.
What Everybody Ought To Know About Meryl Streep Actress
It's one hundred% guaranteed to make you hungrier than watching 'Julie and Julia' (or baking those scones from 'It's Complicated') and 110% guaranteed to make your day much better. The mom asked if her daughter felt better given that her hair was no longer in her face, to which Max answered, "Yep." Max was given various options, including going to the hairdresser to fix it. The video cuts off prior to we find out the toddler's option, but the mom's reaction was the subject of discussion in the comments. It is no secret that the connection we share with our parents throughout early childhood can have a profound and lasting impact on our adult lives. This dad understands that the bond between a father and his daughter is an crucial a single to foster.
Seyfried loved childbirth so substantially she educated to become a doula. Last night, the a lot-anticipated season two premiere of Major Little Lies aired on HBO. Streep plays mother-in-law to Nicole Kidman's Celeste, whose Perry—spoiler alert—was thrown off a cliff by the group final season.
Typically, I'm against concert videos, but I can make an exception for this particular crossover event. Two bowls filled with tiny pieces of paper rested on the table amongst them. The bowl closest to Jones had newsworthy conditions from 2022, when the 1 closest to Fineman held the names of characters she's played on SNL Fineman went on to describe the predicament Jones selected as one particular of these characters. Though he cites Day-Lewis and Al Pacino as his chief influences, Sturdy seems a kindred spirit to De Niro. They both use behavioralist techniques — external triggers such as clothing or other physical cues — to embody their characters.
When film star Madeline steals frumpy Helen's plastic surgeon husband Ernest Menville , Helen spirals out of handle.
Seyfried is barely in the 2020 Netflix film Mank, but she steals the show.
She was never afraid of hurting anyone's feelings, a trait that Streep agrees comes a lot easier to guys than it does for women.
It's hard to feel of Meryl Streep as anything other than a legendary actress and Hollywood icon.
This Emmy-winning animated fantasy series adapts the on the internet multiplayer video game "League of Legends" to eye-popping benefits. It takes location in a future world of stark class division and puts two sisters on opposite sides of a deadly conflict. The story can be tough for some to watch but it is also an essential appear at what can take place when the legal system fails its citizens. Netflix's very first German production, "Dark" tells the story of two children who disappear from a German town in the present-day.
Why Every Little Thing You have Discovered Meryl Streep Actress Is Inappropriate And What You Should Know
Phyllida Lloyd and Ol Parker directed the initially and second films, respectively. Aware that Irving is essentially enlisting her to market government propaganda, Roth initially tells her editor that she'll create the story, but with a concentrate on the faults in Irving's battle program. The editor disagrees and tells her to create the story Irving wants — or else. Streep's substory ends with Roth walking out of the workplace active and driving previous the White Home. The audience knows the story ran, but it really is by no means created clear if Roth submitted to her editor's will or if she quit and the piece was covered by another journalist.
Her new movie is about three girls who go to college together, fall out of touch and reunite when Alice, a Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist played by Ms. Streep, invites the other two on a crossing to London. "I feel males don't like attractive females to make fun of themselves," the actress mentioned. They don't like you to appear much less than a dignified, stunning lady.

Wild animals do not always show themselves in the daytime when we are outdoors looking for them.
One reason, of course, is that our noisy walking and talking warn them we are near and they hide. Another reason is that the nocturnal or night creatures sleep and rest during the day and only begin to prowl in search of food and water when night falls and we are back home.
However, there is still a way to enjoy these animals you can't see. Learn to read the record they leave behind—their tracks. Examine the size and shape of tracks and before long you should be able to tell which wild creatures made them.
As you spend more time with tracks, you also may be able to read a story from them. You will see where the animal stopped to nibble at some food. Or you may see where a predator picked up its trail and carefully stalked it. The chase also may be written on the ground, along with the escape or catch.
To test your skill at reading tracks, match up these common Texas animals with their footprints. Check your answers.

As I am writing I'm debating if on when I should stop the second book. My first book has fifty- five pages & this book has thirty- six.

Here are three things they can do now, by themselves, to do better.
The impact of "social entrepreneurs" — individuals who deploy innovation and market forces to fill social needs — is growing. Bringing light to Africa, mobile banking to Bangladesh, low-cost health care to Nepal, or better school lunches to the American cafeteria: In all these cases, the private sector is a big part of the action.
That social entrepreneurs can make a difference is not in question (here are dozens of examples). But there is plenty of potential left to unlock. What do these enterprises need to scale up? And how can they do it?
RippleWorks, a private foundation that supports emerging market entrepreneurs by providing them with leading Silicon Valley executives as advisors, asked those questions in a recent survey of 628 social entrepreneurs from all over the world. The research, conducted with analytical support from McKinsey and funding from Omidyar Network, included interviews with 37 investors and 10 social enterprise leaders.
The entrepreneurs reported that the most important barrier to growth is — surprise! — money. Almost half (48%) said raising funds was "very" or "extremely" challenging, even as the impact investing industry continues to grow. Lack of early-stage capital remains a top challenge to the industry's growth, according to last month's Global Impact Investor Network survey of 158 impact investors.
The second most important problem, finding and keeping talented people (36%), becomes crucial as entrepreneurs secure some funding. Three-quarters of funded, early-stage companies believe the inability to access the talent they need will have a critical impact on their businesses. And unlike other challenges they face (such as funding, logistics, or regulatory compliance), the talent gap is the only problem that gets tougher as social enterprises scale.
But entrepreneurs have more control in this area. Here are three things they can do now, by themselves, to do better.
#1. Know that funding alone is not going to solve the recruiting problem. Talent is scarce and therefore expensive. Moreover, in many countries the prestige, pay, and job security of big companies are difficult to resist. Even when funded, social entrepreneurs cannot compete head to head on that basis; in the survey, even entrepreneurs with a high level of funding continued to cite budget constraints as a top hiring barrier. Instead, they have to build on their own strengths, selling candidates on the complete employee value proposition — especially the mission and vision for the organization.
#2. Make talent a top strategic priority, one that is pursued constantly. Just as entrepreneurs of all kinds need to anticipate consumer trends and product development, they also need to stay ahead of their hiring needs.
#3. Don't just retain employees — grow leaders. Turning an enterprise into a talent development engine is critical to retaining talent and filling senior leadership roles. If an enterprise proves itself to be good at growing leaders from within, talented people will want to stay. Training and skill development solves another problem too. Entry-level and midlevel positions are easier to fill, and grooming these people for senior positions can help avoid future hiring headaches.
Social entrepreneurs already recognize this. In the survey, they preferred training to hiring or seeking short-term help as a way to increase organizational capabilities. But they need help. Smaller enterprises might be tempted to throw up their hands and give up — they're frantically busy already and don't have the time to create first-rate training programs. Fair enough. But they can work with third-party providers to do so. For example, Glocal Healthcare in India partners with organizations such as George Washington University and India's National Skill Development Corporation to develop training programs on topics ranging from nursing to acute care to hospital management.
While money matters — a lot, and always — the research suggests that the human element matters more. If entrepreneurs can anticipate the talent challenge, even as they work to secure funding, they can stay ahead of a difficult problem that will come up quickly as they prepare to scale.
I've been browsing on-line more than 3 hours as of late, but I by no means found any faniisatcng article like yours. It is pretty value enough for me. In my opinion, if all site owners and bloggers made excellent content material as you did, the internet might be much more useful than ever before.


At the closing of Dancing at Lughnasa as Michael casts his mind back on that Summer of 1936 he tells us that different kinds of memories come his way. I can identify with that as I cast my mind back on almost 19 years living on the Sallins Road.
My first Summer was '98 when the Curragh of Kildare was the song of the day and the night. I recall the collective boys of St Corban's School singing 'Lovely Laois' last Tuesday……. Miracles do Happen. I am truly grateful for the times we shared, for the many different ways you have allowed and trusted me to minister with you in our three Parishes. Thank you for the doors you opened for me in the best and worst of times. For the welcome, the support, the many ways we worked, prayed, sang and broke bread together. I am humbled and affirmed by your kindness and generosity over the years and particularly in recent weeks, both public and private.
I thank my colleagues and all who are part of the team of staff and volunteers for their service and ministry, generosity of time and spirit.


Rabbits NEED space, and lots of it!
Hutches and cages commonly sold in Pet Shops and other pet supply outlets are too small for Rabbit Welfare needs! Yet businesses have been noted to sell hutches as small as 2-3ft! …..WHY?
Simple, there is NO Legislation in place to prevent the sale of these items and no follow up on how they are used by numerous owners. Meanwhile Rabbits in the farm or laboratory sector DO actually have welfare guidelines in regards to housing and other issues.
How can it possibly be right that in this day and age, our most neglected companion pets have no real legislative protection against what is often – unintentional – cruelty and we are freely able to house them in such small items with no real protection?
Of course, hutches and cages can have their uses; but those uses should only be limited to an area of shelter within a larger, safe secure set-up and not used as a permanent home, or what is in reality, a small cramped prison.
RWAF, PDSA and numerous other welfare groups ALL recommend a 6ft minimum hutch length with a secure attached run of at least 8/10ft to enable TWO rabbits to live comfortably.
Using cages or hutches as a main, or only living space is CRUEL; Even the eye catching 'larger double tiered' hutches and cages offer no real living space for Rabbits.
Rabbits are by nature highly active, inquisitive, clean animals & are most active in the mornings & evenings.
They can't perform natural behaviours locked in a prison cell.
Rabbits will happily live free range indoors but be sure to 'bunny proof' all cables and other 'valuable' items.
If you can't offer this, give them their own room or a portion of, with a large penned area for times when they can not be supervised whilst exercising.
Cages commonly sold as suitable for house rabbits range from less than 0.75 up to 1.5m, again with little regard to the overall welfare needs of these animals!
Advice commonly given by pet shops or other areas such as breeders, when acquiring rabbits, is to allow rabbits out of their 'prisons' for a few hours exercise a day, this is NOT enough! Additionally, this advice directly contradicts the welfare needs and behaviours of rabbits; remember, they are crepuscular, which means they are most active in the evenings and mornings, so the time you allocate to allow them exercise may not be compatible with the times that Rabbits want to exercise!.
If they are housed outdoors then poor weather will often deter the owner from allowing this basic right, additionally indoor rabbits can also be forgotten regular exercise as every day life can soon take up the free time well meaning owners may have put aside to allow for exercise.
Rabbits, whether they live indoors or out, should ALWAYS have freedom to move around, then THEY can choose when they want to exercise or not, so the more living space you can offer the better. Please allow Rabbits to be Rabbits and give them the space to live happily and comfortably.
Please take a few moments to watch this info-video featuring Rabbit expert, Dr Anne McBride PhD as she talks us through the reasons why a hutch (or cage) is not enough!

The collection includes illustrations of everyday and ceremonial dress from the 19th and 20th centuries. Highlights include a brown printed cotton dress from the 1830s, a man's beaver skin stove pipe hat from the early 19th century, a child's two-piece outfit from the 1880s, and a Mother Hubbard dress from the 1890s. Other items of note include a woman's automobile duster, Edwardian dresses and skirts, 1920s flapper dresses, tailored women's suits from the 1940s, and paper dresses from the 1960s. The collection incorporates examples of ready-to-wear garments from such leading American designers as Claire McCardell, Pauline Trigere, Bill Blass, and Geoffrey Beene, as well as international designers like Yves St. Laurent, Mariano Fortuny, and Coco Chanel. Also included in the inventory are a number of textiles and clothing pieces from around the globe, including Japan, Ecuador, Puerto Rico, and Thailand.
Below is a snapshot of some of our holdings. You can learn more about what our collection includes by visiting the UGA Special Collections Library.
The Civil War began in 1861 and ended in 1865, heavily impacting the lives of those living during the time period. In fashion, the rise of the sewing machine allowed more decorative effects to be used in dress, and new aniline dyes paved the way for brighter shades of dress.
This time is known as the Crinoline Period because cage crinoline made of whalebone or steel hoops replaced heavy layers of petticoats, and were commonly worn under dresses by women of the time.
One trend that hit its peak in the 1870s was the bustle, an item women secured under the back portion of their skirts to add volume. In terms of silhouette, a narrow waist with a fitted bodice and full skirts was the recurrent style. Popular sleeve styles included pagoda sleeves, gathered bishop sleeves, and the coat sleeve. During the day, high necklines were appropriate, but women often wore lower necklines in the evening. Wraps and shawls were commonly worn, and accessories such as parasols, gloves, snoods, and bonnets were highly desired.
The years 1870-1900 include what is known as the Bustle period, in which the popular silhouette shifted from full skirts to a more fitted look characterized by fullness in the back. Throughout the Bustle period of the 1870s and 1880s, a variety of padded devices were utilized to create back fullness, as the bustle took on different forms. The bustle of the first stage (1870-1878) was achieved through manipulation of drapery and the use of decorative details such as flounces and bows at the back. From (1878-1883) fullness dropped to below the hips and decorative effects of the skirt became focused low as a result. Long trains and heavy fabrics also helped to emphasize the focus on the rear. The latter part of the decade (1884-1890) saw the bustle at its largest. Often referred to as the shelf bustle, it was rigid and took on the appearance of an almost horizontal projection. At this time, skirts shortened to several inches above the floor and rarely had trains, with the exception of some evening dresses.
Additionally, they include the 1890's, which are often referred to as the Gay Nineties or La Belle Epoque. Times were good, Paris was the center of high fashion, and for those who could afford it, dress was lavish and highly decorative.
The corset continued to be worn, aligning with the fashionable silhouette of a full bust and hips with a narrow waist. Dress ensembles typically consisted of two pieces -- a bodice and matching skirt. The one-piece princess dress, worn by some during the latter part of the period, was an exception. Bodices were often fitted, with the cuirass bodice style emerging from around 1878-1883. Sleeves were close-fitting and ended at either three quarters or at the wrist. Evening dresses were differentiated by their lavish trimmings, level of ornamentation, trained skirts, and short sleeves. Weighted silk offered greater body and was a popular choice for dresses beginning in the 1870s. Full sleeves were at their largest in 1895, before they gradually decreased in size towards the turn of the century. By the 1890s, sleeve with fullness were only seen with small puffs at the shoulders. Tailor-made costumes consisted of wool or serge skirts worn with a shirtwaist bloese. and were considered ideal for traveling. Shirtwaist blouses were often accessorized by cravats and jabots. The variety of outerwear for women increased during the late nineteenth century and was dominated by coats, jackets, and wraps. Accessproes of the period included small hats, gloves, muffs, decorative fans, and parasols.
The first decade of the twentieth century is often referred to as "La Belle Époque" - French for "the beautiful age." During this time, Paris reigned as the capital of art and fashion, extravagance and opulence was in, and French couture became all the rage. Edward VII became King of England with the death of Queen Victoria in 1901, ushering in the "Edwardian Era." Additionally, Henry Ford's Model-T was introduced in 1908.
Art Nouveau influenced fashion and ornamentation with the popularity of curvy shapes, floral prints, and ornamentation. And with the introduction of Ford's Model-T, "motoring garments", such as duster coats and goggles, became essential for automobile riding.
The dominant silhouette of the period was the S-bend hourglass shape, which was achieved through the use of long bell or trumpet skirts that swept the ground, and the "monobosom" fullness of the front bodice. Voluminous sleeves were another popular feature of turn-of-the-century fashion. Women still wore tightly-boned corsets, along with layers of petticoats. Two-piece ensembles were introduced, consisting of a skirt and a shirtwaist blouse. Garments often featured necklines with high standing collars for daytime and exceptionally low décolleté necklines for evening wear. Lingerie dresses — flowing white gowns with lace detailing — were a popular choice for outdoor hot weather. Pale colors and un-patterned fabrics adorned with lace or embroidery were favored in this style. Shoes and boots exhibited pointed toes, and parasols were a must-have accessory for outdoors. Elaborate, often large hats decorated with bird feathers enjoyed heightened popularity.
The War Years (1914-1918) resulted in simpler styles, with moderation in fabric usage as well as the use of darker hues. As a result, garments of this period often have a more utilitarian and masculine appearence.
The "teens," as the 1910s are often referred to, saw sweeping changes in fashion due to the work of French designer Paul Poiret, who was largely inspired by both the exoticism and color of the Far East and the Ballet Russes. "Orientalism" in fashion became all the rage and was seen in kimono-shaped coats, capes, saturated colors, and exotic embellishments.
Popular trends included the "peg-top" silhouette with hip fullness, Paul Poiret's narrow-at-ankle "hobble skirt", and Mariano Fortuny's "Delphos gown" which featured his secret pleating technique. Tunic dresses were also introduced, and featured a short skirt layered over a longer one. Necessitated by the new shapes in fashion, the hourglass S-bend silhouette transitioned into a more column-like, tubular form with a higher waistline. Brassieres replaced tight corsets and accommodated the soft, unfitted tea gown, a popular choice for afternoon hosting. The wide-brim hat continued to be a fashionable accessory and shoes began to replace boots.
The year 1920 marked the beginning of Prohibition, as well as the end of the Suffrage Movement, with women gaining the right to vote. King Tutankhamen's tomb was discovered in 1922, further fueling the taste for the exotic, and creating an obsession with all things Egyptian. The Harlem Renaissance ushered in the Jazz Age; sleeveless dresses with shorter hemlines and sequin, bead, and fringe embellishment enhanced and enabled the fast-paced dance movements of the Charleston and Fox Trot.
The "Roaring Twenties" were years of major change for both fashion and society. Besides major cultural events inspiring change, fashion was also influenced by Art Deco through the use of straight lines and geometric forms in both silhouette and decoration.
The twenties silhouette was straight and tubular, and dresses deemphasized female curves, breasts, and hips. Chemise dresses hung straight from the body and helped created this fashionable linear silhouette. The "flapper," with her bobbed-hair and boyish silhouette, became the epitome of the fashionable look of the period. Hemlines rose, revealing more of the female leg for the first time in dress history, and shifting the focus to shoes for the first time.
During the period, Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel popularized costume jewelry — as well as wool jersey suits. The cloche, a bell-shaped hat, was "the" hat to have. Small beaded purses and long beaded necklaces were popular accessories.
The defining event of the 1930s was the Great Depression. The stock market crash of 1929 and the ensuing depression created a need for less expensive garments without elaborate ornamentation. Designers of the period therefore relied on seam lines and darts as major forms of embellishment. Clothing that was cheaper and diversified was critical, thus creating the need for ready-to-wear fashion.
The overwhelming popularity of the movies in the 1930s helped perpetuate the ideals of "Hollywood glamour." Women began looking to screen stars for inspiration in fashion, hairstyles, makeup, and even demeanor. The movies, and the glamorous lifestyle they portrayed, were a way for the public to escape the harsh realities of the Depression. Designers such as Elsa Schiaparelli incorporated concepts of Surrealist Art into fashion designs, offering fantastical creations that also provided a flight from reality. The 1930s also saw the birth of American sportswear and two-piece bathing suits for women.
The decade saw a continuation of the linear shape of the 1920s, but with a leaner, longer, more feminine silhouette. The waistline returned to its natural position and hemlines dropped. Evening fabrics tended to be pale or white solids of silk or satin, and the backless evening gown was introduced at this time. French designer Madeleine Vionnet created the "Bias Cut", which produced a "liquid" clinging effect on the body. Hats of all varieties were widely worn, and a right-angle tilt was a common way hats were styled. Shoes featured low heels and rounded toes. Costume jewelry and fur added the final touch of fashionable glamor.
World War II began in 1939, ushering in a new conservatism in fashion. Fashion designers were forced to close their houses in Paris, and "practicality" became the new buzzword in fashion, with a focus on producing sensible styles and "utility garments" which required a minimum quantity of fabric. In the United States, the L-85 Limiting Order aimed to freeze the war-time silhouette and stop rapid seasonal changes in styles in order to conserve fabric use. Tailored suits and military-influenced styles were seen in items such as belts, breast pockets, high necklines, and small collars. Both ctlohing and hair were influenced by the war. For women who worked in factories, superfluous decoration and long hair posed safety threats. Hairstyles and makeup became an integral way to achieve personal style, since clothing and accessories were rationed.
Hollywood stars such as Veronica Lake, Rita Hayworth, and Bette Davis were significant influencers of fashion. American designers began developing sportswear collections, spurred by the necessity of the war-time focus on the ideals of simplicity and utility. Casual separates, shirtwaist dresses, slim skirts with patch pockets, and halter and square necklines became popular. Women could also be seen wearing trousers, although it was mainly for utilitarian purposes, not everyday wear.
The 1940s silhouette was tailored and narrow, with a nipped-in waistline and squared shoulders achieved through the use of shoulder pads. Hemlines rose to just below the knee. In light of rationed fashion, hats allowed an individual fashion statement, and small styles such as veiled pillboxes and berets, often worn at a right angle, were most popular. Shoes were usually chunky with rounded toes and featured either low-heeled or wedge soles. Leg makeup was also introduced and offered women a remedy to the rationing of nylon stockings.
The 1950s were a time of large cultural and social change, which was reflected in the world of fashion. The Korean War began in 1950, followed by the introduction of the color TV in 1951. And in 1954, the modern civil rights movement began.
As the suburbs became popular, family and domesticity for women became a prominent force in society. Additonally, teenagers became fashion consumers and market leaders for the first time. Due to technological advances, new fibers such as polyester, triacetate, and spandex are introduced.
The prominent trend of the time was femininity, as shown by the prominence of Christian Dior's "New Look". Shape was emphasized by full swing skirts or narrow pencil skirts, as well as fitted bodices and a small waistline achieved with the help of petticoats and girdles. Elegant accessories and jewelry such as hats and pearls were popular at the time, and high heels were ubiquitous. Other trends included Peter Pan collars, tapered or capri pants, and the introduction of the bikini.
The Beatles led the music and fashion "British Invasion," influencing teenagers with their Mod aesthetic. The Civil Rights movement led to the popularity of ethnic and African-inspired garments such as dashikis and caftans.
The 1960s were marked by eclecticism, both in fashion and society. A plethora of styles were fashionable at one time, ranging from space age fashions using vinyl and synthetics, to bold prints, colors, and disposable paper dresses inspired by Pop Art. Mod fashion appeared on the London scene, with fashion designer Mary Quant as the "high priestess" of the style, and Twiggy as its supermodel. Boutiques, a 1960s creation, began offering designer ready-to-wear collections, while easy-care fabrics were increasingly used by the general public.
Longer hemlines were dominant with maxi skirts and granny dresses, while hot pants and mini skirts were adopted by the younger market. These shorter hemlines popularized the use of pantyhose for modesty. As the decade progressed, chemise dresses that typified the dominant straight A-line silhouette became popular. Turtleneck blouses and sweaters were common, and sleeves were usually three-quarter length. Sleeveless tops were worn after the mid 1960s. Jacqueline Kennedy became a major fashion icon, famous for her sophisticated style, pillbox hats, and pearls. Overall, hats in general experienced a decline in use, due to the popularity of high bouffant hairstyles. Knee high go-go boots were popular, patent was often used, and low-heeled, square-toed shoes were common. Popular accessories included headbands, bold jewelry, and matching shoes and handbags.
During the 1970s, the eclecticism of the previous decade continued, and influences from subcultures dominated fashion. The Vietnam War ended in 1973, and the first Earth Day was celebrated in 1974.
The hippie subculture emphasized environmental awareness and social acceptance, translating into the popularity of natural fibers and earth tones, loose garments, blue jeans, and ethnic influences in dress. Peasant blouses and skirts and psychedelic prints were popular, as well as historic revival styles. In the late 1970s, music styles such as glam rock, disco, and punk influenced fashion and resulted in flashy, often shocking styles.
For the most part, clothing was loose and unstructured compared to previous decades. Skirts came in a variety of lengths — mini, midi, or maxi — although the mini and maxi were the most popular. Unisex styles in clothing became a trend and were perpetuated by Diane Keaton's character in the 1977 film, Annie Hall. Trousers and blue jeans were worn by women more than ever before. Designer jeans arrived on the market, resulting in the birth of "licensing" for non-fashion products. Polyester was the other preferred textile for trousers.
With the rise of new media such as MTV, the 80s fashion landscape began to shift rapidly. The televised wedding of Prince Charles and Diana Spencer caused a fashion frenzy, with "Lady Di's" elegant hats, tailored suits, and evening dresses making her a global style icon.
The 1980s were known as the "Me" Generation, with an emphasis on logos and designer labels. The decade also saw the rise of yuppie (young urban professionals) culture, and the introduction of the fitness craze. In the world of high fashion, postmodernism and avant-garde fashion were vastly influential.
With the introduction of yuppie culture, business attire and "power-dressing" with items like shoulder pads was a popular trend. In light of the fitness craze, leg warmers, tights, and leotards were widely worn, and women accessorized with big hair, flashy costume jewelry, and bright heels. In terms of undergarments, Madonna and Jean-Paul Gaultier inspired a underwear-as-outerwear trend alongside the popularity of Calvin Klein underwear.
The 1990s reflected subcultures such as punk, goth, and grunge in fashion. Hip-hop music became popular and as a result, urban fashion was popularized. Unlike previous decades, the 1990s was notable for a more relaxed and casual look, as well as the introduction of technology such as cell-phones and pagers. With the rise of globalization and technology, the fashion cycle began to speed up.
1990s style was often considered "anti-fashion," with purposefully clashing or contradictory aesthetics. Black, minimalist styles were popular, as well as vintage and 1970s style. Many younger people sported crop tops, cargo pants, and blue jeans, and athletic wear in daily life. In terms of shoes, high heels, wedges, sandals, platforms, and sneakers were all widely worn.

Hollie Davidson appointment is a breakthrough moment for the Scottish rugby referee
Hollie Davidson will take charge of the European Challenge Cup match between Newcastle Falcons and Castres, her first men's professional referee appointment.

The Scottish official from Aberdeenshire has been an assistant referee in both the Champions Cup and Challenge Cup this season and was touch judge for Saturday's 1872 Cup clash between Edinburgh and Glasgow Warriors at BT Murrayfield.
She also refereed the second women's November international between England v France at Twickenham.
Davidson will now follow in the footsteps of Joy Neville, the first woman to referee a top-level men's match in the UK.
Scottish referee Hollie Davidson in action during a Women's Six Nations match between Wales and Ireland.
The Challenge Cup tie between Newcastle and Castres takes place on January 16 and Davidson said: "I couldn't quite believe it when I got the phone call. I am hugely excited by the appointment, and I'm looking forward to being tested at the next level of rugby. I'm sure I'll have butterflies in my stomach but I'm just looking to go out there and do the basics well.
"It was great to be involved in the England v France women's fixture back in November. To referee a game of that standard mid-pandemic was a privilege.
"I feel very fortunate to have been involved in both international and professional-club fixtures during these uncertain times as it has kept my brain ticking over and I feel it has put me in a strong position building up to this career milestone."
Andrew Macpherson, Scottish Rugby's referee development manager, said: "On behalf of Scottish Rugby, I would like to extend my congratulations to Hollie on the appointment to her first professional men's fixture. It is fantastic to see her hard work recognised and she thoroughly deserves this opportunity."
England's Sara Cox will also make her debut as a referee in European competition when she takes charge of the Challenge Cup tie between Agen and Benetton on January 15.
Three other Scottish Rugby Union refs will take charge of matches in rounds three and four of the Champions and Challenge Cup; Ben Blain at Pau v London Irish on January 15, Mike Adamson at Montpellier v Wasps on January 16 and Sam Grove-White at Worcester v Pau on January 23.

Gallstones treatment – Dr Rachael Roberts
Dr Raffaele Roberts is the medical director of the University of Glasgow and is a specialist in the treatment of gallstones.
He has worked in surgery for over 50 years and has treated thousands of patients.
He explains why the gallstones problem is so common and why we need to be getting more treatment.
I am sitting here with Dr Roberts, and I am listening to the recording that you are about to hear, and we are going to talk about how we treat the problem.
So, let's listen to that, because it is so important, because if we don't, this is going to be a problem for generations to come, so listen.
Dr Roberts starts off by describing how he was called to a GP surgery, and it was just really bad, and he was on a drip for almost an hour, and they were just really stressed, and so it wasn't just about him.
It was a whole lot of other people.
And then it was a big problem for a few days after that, and that was what got the GP surgery to say to him, and ask him to go to a hospital and get a gallstones test.
And what that meant was that the GP was treating a patient who had an infection, and had a lot of redness around his eyes, and there was a lot going on in the bloodstream.
So what they were trying to do was just get blood flow in the vein that was holding the redness to come out.
And this was the first thing that they did, and what was the outcome of that?
They removed the blood supply to the veins, and in a few weeks, there was the swelling gone.
So it was quite a big improvement.
And so this is the sort of thing that Dr Roberts talks about in the clip that you hear.
And he says, if you have gallstones, you should be in a clinic.
He says, the best way to treat gallstones is to go and get the test.
So the next thing that you do is, get a regular check-up, and the more you do that, the better the results, because then they will be able to give you more intensive treatment and, of course, they will have a better chance of finding the cause of the problem, which will be a gallstone.
So that's a good summary of what is happening.
So I'm really interested in the history of gallstone treatment, because this is so new, and this is something that we really haven't really looked at in a lot more detail, because of the different ways of treating gallstones in different places.
So we have seen a lot in the past, and then we have had studies that have shown some things, but there hasn't been any comprehensive research on this.
So you can go back to the Gallstones Foundation, and see some of the things that have been done in the UK.
For example, the UK is not the only country to have the concept of a specialist gallstones clinic, but they are the only ones in the world, and as far as I know, they have a total of 13 facilities around the world.
There are a number of different types of galls, but the basic thing is that if you go to the specialist clinic in your area, you get tested, and if you are found to be an appropriate candidate, then they give you some of these different drugs to try, and depending on your condition, you will get a treatment, or you will not.
So this is a very interesting thing that's been happening, because I am really interested, because we have not had any studies that looked at how this is working in different parts of the world at different times.
So let's look at a few of the studies that were done, and why is this happening, and how does it work?
First of all, this was a problem that was really big in the mid-20th century, and was really widespread.
There were a lot, and one of the big studies that we had was done in Germany in the 1930s, and people died.
So if you look at this as the beginning of the 20th century in Germany, the number of people that died of gall stones in the country was quite large, and you would expect that this would be quite a serious problem, because people are dying of this, and sometimes it can be fatal.
And yet, in Germany this was actually not a problem, it was actually a fairly small proportion of deaths, and probably a lot less than the figures you would find in the United States.
And they were actually very lucky.
They actually had a good outcome rate, and a good survival rate, even though there were a number more deaths.
And it turns out that they were all treated in the same way, and, indeed, this could be partly due to the fact that the Germans were not treating the problem with a huge amount of intensive treatment, and maybe also due to a lot lower mortality rates. But it

How to Treat Flea Bites
One of the first things you should do after a flea bite is treat it with a quick treatment with a topical medication.
If the symptoms last more than 48 hours, then you need to be on a treatment regimen of two or three medications at a time.
The medication must be in a form that will be absorbed well into the skin and you must make sure that you have an adequate amount in your skin to do so.
You can use a topical medicine for up to 48 hours before and after treatment to help prevent further development of the bacterial infection.
When you are treating with a medication, make sure you follow the directions carefully to make sure it is safe and effective.
These instructions will help you treat your flea bites with the right medication.
For Flea Treatment1.
Apply an antibiotic cream to the area of your foot that is most likely to harbor fleas.
A good choice for this would be a topical antibiotic cream such as the one below.2.
Apply a mild antibiotic cream on the affected area, or apply a mild cream to an area that is less likely to harbour fleas and a topical steroid cream.
For more detailed instructions on how to treat fleas, see the Flea treatment instructions for treatment of fleas guide.3.
Wash the affected foot using warm water, rubbing your foot to help break down any bacteria and then apply the antibiotic cream and cream of the antibiotic on top of the medication.4.
Wash the foot in a sink with a mild soap and water, or in a warm, damp area with a gentle towel to help remove any bacteria from the foot.
Alternatively, you can soak the affected toe for 15 minutes in warm water to help clean the foot up.5.
Treat your foot in the shower, or at home if you have a hot tub.6.
Place the treated foot on a towel to allow the medication to soak into the foot for a few minutes.7.
Rub the treated area with an antibiotic gel.8.
Leave the treated toe on the towel for several minutes to soak up any residual bacteria from treatment.9.
After you have treated the foot, rinse your foot with warm water.
Then you can treat it again.
For Infertility Treatment1, Apply an antibiotic spray cream to your foot or the affected toes.2, Apply a steroid cream to a wound on the foot or toes that is infected with fleas or ticks.
Avoid the infected area.3, Apply either an antibiotic creams or a steroid creams.4, Apply the antibiotic cream over the wound and apply a steroid gel over the area.5, Apply both antibiotic creamps and steroid creamps to the affected site and the foot area.6, Rub antibiotic cream over the affected areas of the foot and the area on your toes.
Use a gentle soap and warm water treatment to clean the area and remove any fleas that may have been hiding there.7, Apply steroids to the infected areas of your feet.
This will help break up the bacteria that may be hiding there and will prevent further growth of the infection.
For Flush Treatment1 Use a non-prescription antibiotic cream that you can find in your local pharmacy or at a fleas treatment center.2 Apply a cream that contains either a topical or an antibiotic ointment.
In either case, apply the ointments directly on the infected foot, to the foot on the side of the affected limb, or the other foot area, then rub antibiotic cream onto the area to clean it up. 3, If you are dealing with a large population of ticks, you may need to use a mild topical antibiotic ophthalmic cream or steroid ointee, and a mild steroid ophthalmologic cream.4 Apply either a steroid ocular cream or a topical ophthalmosutic cream to treat the foot with a gel or ointing, depending on which treatment you are using.5 Use a mild ophthalmusic cream to apply a topical gel or cream over a wound, then use a steroid steroid oropharyngeal cream to wash the wound up.6 Use a cream or ophthalmia cream to disinfect the area, apply a nonpolar steroid ophorist cream, or both.7 Apply a topical corticosteroid ophthalmoplastin oint and a steroid corticoid ophorbital ophthalmolytic cream.8, Apply steroid oophorist ophthalmology cream or corticostrin ophthalmedic to treat an area of an infected foot.9, Apply corticorticosteroids ophthalmarin ophthalmollective cream to heal a wound or infection.10, Apply topical corto-cortical corticoprostiol ophthalmotocorticoid cream to remove bacteria and promote healing.For Fib

Gallstones treatment and hyperkalemic treatment with stannous silicon treatment
A new technology developed by scientists at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign could help treat patients with gallstones, a common form of osteoporotic disease.
Researchers are studying the use of stannoid silicon, which is a mineral found in some stone tools, as a treatment for hyperkalaemia, or bone marrow failure, which can cause the kidneys to shut down.
The technology, developed by University of Maryland professor of chemistry, Dr. Michael P. Gorman, could potentially reduce the frequency of the condition.
"This is really exciting for us," said Dr. Gomer.
"Because we can now treat the underlying cause of hyperkalanemia."
Hyperkalaemic stone disease, or KHD, is a condition that occurs when the kidneys fail to clear bone marrow cells from the bone.
The condition can be caused by an underlying disease such as cancer, kidney disease, diabetes, or kidney transplant.
It can also be caused when the body doesn't produce enough of certain drugs in the kidneys.
While it's not clear exactly what causes KHD or how many people have it, experts believe it could be caused in part by the fact that the kidneys are in such poor condition that they aren't producing enough blood, as they normally do in a normal person.
The team is now working on ways to develop new treatments that can help treat KHD.
They are working on developing an enzyme that could help in the treatment of hyperakalemia.
Gorman said it could also help to treat other common causes of KHD such as kidney disease and kidney transplant rejection.
Hyperkalema is a form of hypercalcemia, which occurs when bone marrow does not grow properly.
The disease can cause a condition called hyperkalinemia, which causes fluid buildup in the bone marrow, which results in bone marrow failing.
The new technology is different from other techniques in that it works by stimulating the cells in the kidney that make collagen, the glue that holds the bone in place.
It also allows for the delivery of a drug that is similar to the drug used to treat hyperkalineemia.
Dr. Gomey said the team has tested several different types of drugs on mice and has shown that the new enzyme works very well in treating KHD in mice.
The new technology could potentially be used in other forms of KHd, including patients who have already been treated with the drug thalidomide, or tetracycline.
Gomer said it will be important to get more people on the new technology because it could have a significant impact on the treatment for KHD as it does with hyperkalycemia.
He said there is a huge amount of demand for this new treatment, with people going into their third or fourth year of treatment and people with advanced cancer and other conditions needing it.

How to treat gallstones in India
In India, the gallstone problem is a growing concern for doctors.
While the country has an international reputation for its medical care, it is also one of the world's poorest countries.
The problem with gallstones is that they can cause serious complications and death.
Many sufferers have serious health problems, and there are a growing number of cases of serious complications in India, according to a study published in the Lancet last year.
The study looked at a sample of 888 patients from a large hospital in southern India.
The patients were given a cocktail of treatments to treat their gallstones, including surgery, laser therapy, and chemotherapy.
The research team also looked at the effects of the treatments on the patients' health and survival rates.
Gallstones are found in the gallbladder, the small pouch that runs along the inside of the abdomen.
They can cause severe bleeding and pressure on the gall bladder, which can lead to problems such as gallstones.
It's estimated that about 25% of Indian men have some form of gallstones and that it affects about 2% of the population.
There are two main treatments for gallstones: surgery and laser therapy.
Gallstones are treated by removing them and using laser therapy to open the space around them.
The treatments work by producing a tiny laser light that stimulates the glandular tissue in the lower abdomen.
The surgery involves removing the gallstones from the lower part of the gall belly and removing the tissue from the outside of the bladder.
Gallbladder surgery is the most common treatment, followed by laser therapy (LAS) and surgery.
The results of the studies show that both the treatments are effective at treating gallstones but there are some major differences between the treatments.
The research showed that laser therapy has a higher success rate, with patients having a higher survival rate than surgery.
Laser therapy also has a lower rate of failure.
However, in terms of the survival rate, surgery has a slightly higher success.
The most common complications of the surgery are infection and bleeding.
The results of laser therapy are also more effective than surgery and surgery has an easier time of survival, according the study.
Laser therapy can be used as a treatment for gallbladders, but it does not work on gallstones directly.
It also doesn't work on the tissue around the gall stones.
The findings of the study were published in The Lancet.

Rugelach ( e ) é um pão judaico de origem asquenazita. É muito popular em Israel, e entre judeus europeus e americanos, geralmente encontrado em cafés e padarias.

Tradicionalmente feitos na forma de um crescente, enrola-se um triângulo de massa ao redor de um recheio, que pode ser passas, canela, chocolate, marzipã, geleias, nozes, entre outros. Recentemente, versões salgadas também foram criadas, recheados com frango e schmaltz ou salmão e queijo boursin. Algumas fontes dizem que o rugelach e o croissant francês possuem a mesma origem comum no Kipferl, bolinhos vienenses feitos para comemorar o levantamento de um certo turco, uma possível referência a Batalha de Viena de 1683.

Etimologia
O nome é em em iídiche, uma língua judia da Europa central. O sufixo  (ך) indica o plural, enquanto  (ל) pode ser um diminutivo, assim como, por exemplo,  (שטעטלעך, vilas) é o plural de shtetl (שטעטל, vila), o diminutivo de  (שטאָט, cidade). Nesse caso, a raiz tem o significado aproximado de "torcer", de modo que uma tradução possível seria "pequenas torções, torcidinhas" em referência ao formato do bolinho.

Alternativamente, alguns afirmam que que a raiz seria , que significa real, numa possível referência ao seu gosto. Essa explicação contradiz com o uso iídiche, no qual a palavra  (קעניגליךּ) é a palavra dominante para "real".

Por fim, em hebraico moderno, os rugelach são conhecidos como  (רוֹגְלִית), palavra pós-bíblica que signfica "vinhas", apesar do termo  (רוגלך) também ser utilizado comumente por falantes hebraicos.

Ingredientes
Rugelach podem ser feitos com massas de creme azedo ou queijo cremoso, mas existem também variantes Parve sem ingredientes lácteos, de modo que possam ser comidos antes ou após as refeições e ainda serem kosher. As massas de queijo cremoso são inovações recentes, possivelmente americanas, enquanto as massas de fermento levedado, e de creme azedo são muito mais antigas.
