I have been receiving Micro Pulse Stimulation (MPS) treatments from Jodi Young for chronic facial pain for a little over a year. I have had episodes with this facial neuralgia for over 25 years. Early episodes responded to chiropractic and acupuncture, but then the pain returned and would not go away. After several MPS treatments from Jodi, both the intensity and frequency of the episodes diminished substantially – and even went away for several months.
While we are still searching for the "cure" – the one that makes the pain go away and stay away, I can also say without reservation that the MPS treatments that I have received from Jodi have made the quality of my life immeasurably better. I can only speak from my own experience, but would not hesitate to recommend Jodi Young and the MPS treatment to anyone suffering from chronic pain of any type.
In the early 1980's I was in a near-fatal boating accident that left me with large scars on my abdomen and hip. I was told by the surgeon in 1985 that the scars were about as good as they are going to get.
During a 2013 Florida trip, Jodi Young treated my scars using Micro Pulse Stimulation (MPS). After only 3 treatments I had marked improvement in both areas. The lower abdomen scar is much improved after MPS treatment--the redness is gone and the skin is also much softer to the touch.
The large hip/leg scar improvement was even more dramatic. It has become much less visibly noticeable, the tightness of the skin has relaxed, and the scar does not irritate the surrounding skin at all. Range of motion has greatly improved and it is now easy to put on socks and shoes where it was difficult before and movement of the leg in general is much improved.
I am amazed at the positive changes and highly recommend Jodi Young and her healing MPS Scar Tissue Release!
I get massage therapy and electronic acupuncture/ Micro Pulse Stimulation (MPS) treatments once a month from Jodi Young, and this has kept me almost pain-free for over two years! I have a combination of chronic pain issues including scoliosis, sciatica and upper back/neck stress from my computer work. Before I found Jodi, I was taking pain and muscle relaxers daily to cope and still had pain. I have tried a number of other massage therapists over the years and none come close to Jodi's skill! Also, she is personally excellent to work with, responsive and helpful. When I have had pain emergencies after too much travel etc that made my conditions act up, she has worked her schedule around to see me on short notice too.
Jodi Young is a true healer. Over the past year, she's treated me for chronic shoulder and back pain, and I can honestly say that I feel like a new man. My posture has improved, my shoulder is strong again, and my back has finally quit throbbing. Jodi works her hands and fingers deep into the tissue, and finds the nerves which are at the heart of the problem. She's also an educator, showing me that pain in one area is often the result of stress somewhere else – as when she eased a kink in my jaw by finding the tendon out of balance in my neck. On a more personal note, Jodi is always pleasant and positive, and she puts her sunny outlook into her massage therapy. With your eyes closed, you will swear that light pours out her fingertips. She will leave you feeling re-energized and full of health – reborn in both mind and body. I recommend her highly.
I went to Jodi Young for the treatment of several scars in my abdominal, limb and facial areas that had accumulated over the past 40 years. Using a technique based on Microcurrent Point Stimulation (MPS), Jodi succeeded during a 2 hour session to significantly reduce the visual appearance of several of my scars, in terms of volume and color.
The procedure resulted in overall feeling well.
I was very pleased with the professional courtesy and atmosphere at Jodi's office and have scheduled follow-up treatments.
Jodi also recommended a change in my life style to control my weight and level of physical fitness.
I subsequently retained her as my personal trainer and diet consultant.
After eight weeks I have lost over 20 lbs without starving or depriving myself of certain foods I like, by just following a healthier diet and exercise regimen.
Jodi's methods and advice are really working for me.
Jodi was one of the best therapists I have had in many years. Very professional and caring. Highly recommend.
I find Jodi Young extremely professional and continually demonstrates a true and honest caring for the health and wellness of her clients. I've received exceptional results from all of her areas of expertise. I would recommend her highly to anyone that is committed to venture forward to the next step of a complete body and soul experience.

Ben plots Keanu's death after human trafficking scheme in EastEnders?
Keanu Taylor (Danny Walters) is fast making an enemy of Ben Mitchell (Max Bowden) in EastEnders and he could suffer some dire consequences if he's not careful enough to keep his head down.
Friday's episode saw Ben put Keanu well and truly in his place after Keanu refused to have anything to do with his human trafficking job.
Keanu had been horrified when he discovered the lorry he'd agreed to drive contained the trafficked women. He immediately told the guy to stick the job, but Ben arrived to try and placate things.
Ben warned him everyone he loved would be hurt if he didn't keep his nose clean, but it didn't change Keanu's stance. This was worse than anything he thought he'd be involved in and vowed that Phil (Steve McFadden) wouldn't want anything to do with it either.
It quickly became clear that Keanu would be a thorn in Ben's side as he tried to handle the situation. He's got a conscience, and that just won't do in situations like these.
And now it looks like Ben is plotting to get rid of him – permanently.
Ben arranges a Mitchell brunch and he's thrilled when Phil tells him they can move forward with their plan. He can almost smell the money. But his happiness is short-lived when Jay and Keanu arrive to interrupt things. Things get worse for Ben when Phil announces that Keanu will be working with him too. There's no getting rid of him now, or is there?
This is not what Ben had in mind. He wants the Mitchell empire back up and running, and with Keanu hanging around like a bad smell to get them in all sorts of problems, that will never happen.
Is Ben plotting to kill Keanu to clear the path for his horrific schemes?


In this inspiring video Ryan Levinson teaches a powerful lesson in what it means to truly exist in the present moment, and how he is able to get there.
Take a moment today to find what brings you utterly into the present moment. That experience of presence can teach you what it feels like to be right where you are, instead of in past or future thoughts. After experiencing a profound oneness with the present moment, it will be easier to practice present moment awareness in all aspects of life.
Your site is well-written and appealing. I reblogged your recent post about peace. View my blog at http://newjourneysonoldroads.com to see your reblogged post. I am now following your ideas and I Tweeted that there's a new post on my blog from you. I'll be back to visit your site.
Thank you so much, I truly appreciate that! It is great to be connected, I'm excited to take a look at your blog.


Although there was a lot to look at over the May 2014 wedding weekend of Kanye West and Kim Kardashian, Jaden Smith managed to trump it all when he was photographed wearing a white Batman costume at the ceremony. He's since become something of a style star, breaking gendered wardrobe rules by frequently wearing dresses and running around with It models like Kendall Jenner and Hailey Baldwin. Clearly Smith isn't looking to follow a typical path, and we applaud that, but we're still scratching our heads over that Batman look (which, by the way, he also wore to prom).
It's a sweet response, if also a little out there, as is his style. And we've got to give him props for being the only person to ever wear something that garnered more attention than the closely watched duds of West and Kardashian. Smith's outfit choices may be extreme, but they serve as a great reminder for us all to take a few more fashion risks, no?
Not feeling the Batman look for that upcoming wedding? Shop some of our favorite wedding guest options instead!
Head to GQ to read the full interview. What are your thoughts on Jaden Smith's quirky style? Sound off in the comments!


In May the Cycle held its now traditional Family Feast. The event brings together fathers, mothers, grandparents, relatives and friends of the students in a day of activities and interaction with the childrens.
This year, participants had the opportunity to pratice play and recreational activities with the children which encourages and provides more integration and coexistence of the whole family.
The event is also a great opportunity for parents to meet and also increase your relationship with other families who entrust their children to Cycle.

Nigeria downs Libya to go top of their AFCON qualifiers group
ImageSports
By Onyekachi Osondu Last updated Aug 13, 2019
-By ONYEKACHI OSONDU, ABH PRESS
It was the narrowest of victories but a victory nonetheless. Nigeria beat Libya 3-2 on Tuesday night, to climb to the top of their group after South Africa failed to get all three points against Seychelles earlier in the same day.
Nigeria started on the right foot with in form striker Odion Ighalo opening the scoring in the 13th minute after benefitting from a good Musa-Alex Iwobi exchange with the former providing the assist for the striker's fifth goal in the qualifying campaign.
Moments later, Ighalo returned the favour to Ahmed Musa, providing him with an assist to get Nigeria's second of the night. Things seemed to go downhill from there for Nigeria as they seemed to lose concentration and were soon punished as Libya pulled a goal back before half time.
The second half did not improve the situation for Nigeria as they appeared to be on the back foot and were clearly being outplayed as they fell victim to attack after attack. The scores were soon level after Benali of Libya got the equalizer in the 74th minute.
Odion Ighalo would however have the final say on the match getting the final goal nine minutes from time to ensure Nigeria continue their 100% record after the world cup.
It's a victory that puts Nigeria top of their group after 4 games with 9 points, only a point above second placed South Africa, with 2 games to go. Libya is in third place with 4 points while Seychelles is in last place with a point.

Matt Mikalatos: Fasting Question #1: Is it okay to talk about fasting?
Fasting Question #1: Is it okay to talk about fasting?
"Bro, its a good thing you shared about [your fast].
I find it funny (ironic?) how the church notes Jesus saying not to make a show of your fasting but then we forget in the same passage that he also said to not prayer in public but in a closet yet we don't ream people for public prayers. I would say we have way more people who have showy prayers than proud fasters. Or we note in the story in Luke 18 of the Pharisee bragging about his two-a-week fasting habit but he also spoke of his tithing and we have tithing sermons.
I think the passage in Mark 2:18-20 seems to say that fasting should be the norm for followers of Jesus after He leaves. True fasting is another mark of desperate prayer."
So long as you're not bragging or looking for sympathy, I think it's okay to talk about this stuff. I mean, we know somehow that Jesus fasted for 40 days. He must have told someone. Honestly, it's pretty hard to hide a fast that goes more than a day. Having said that, I generally prefer not to talk about my fasts or let anyone other than absolutely necessary know I am fasting.
My kids--and this is hilarious--still haven't caught on that I'm not eating anything (It's day five of the fast!). They don't notice. Suddenly it makes sense that they are constantly asking me to get them milk, refill their plate, change their forks out and so on when I just sat down to eat. They think I ate already.
Well you could have edited my grammar mistakes for me.
Ha ha ha! Next time I lift one of your e-mails I will edit any grammer mistacks.


In this 4 day course we will focus on understanding elemental imbalances, and how to tailor a bodywork treatment for individual imbalance. We will practice creating sessions for wind core constitution and wind imbalance, fire core constitution and fire imbalance, and water core constitution and water imbalances.

Dubai: Kuwait announced it was imposing a nationwide 11-hour curfew from 5pm to 4am starting Sunday until further notice, Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) reported.
The drastic measure comes as part of the country's efforts to combat the spread of the coronavirus.
"Regrettably, failing to comply with the Ministry of Health's instructions to stay indoors has forced the government to impose a partial curfew," said Anas Khaled Nasser Al Saleh, Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Interior and Minister of State for Cabinet Affairs, in a press conference after a cabinet meeting.
He added that the Civil Defence Committee will issue identification cards for people working in vital sectors to ensure they can move about during the curfew.
Al Saleh said the Kuwaiti Cabinet also decided to extend a suspension of the government and private sectors for another two weeks.
Earlier last week, the government warned it would implement stricter measures in the fight against the coronavirus if the public did not adhere to the issued guidelines and laws.
The minister emphasised that anyone caught breaking the coronavirus curfew in Kuwait will be jailed for up to three years and fined 10,000 Kuwaiti dinars ($32,000) in line with new laws.
12 new cases
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Health in Kuwait confirmed another 12 cases of the deadly coronavirus in the last 24 hours, raising the total number of cases in the country to 188. The announcement was made during a press conference held today.
The new cases include two Kuwaitis and two Filipinos who were in contact with people who came from the UK, one Kuwaiti who had direct contact with a person who returned from Egypt, as well as a Kuwaiti who had travelled to Brazil.
Out of the 188 cases, 158 are currently being treated. Five others, two stable and three in critical condition, are in intensive care unit, according to Al Arabiya.
Kuwait had announced early this morning that three people have recovered from the virus, bringing the total number of recoveries to 30. Meanwhile, 593 people have left quarantine facilities after receiving medical care and undergoing observations, the ministry said.

Now is the time to think about planting a fall garden. In the fall, the weather is milder, there aren't as many insect pests and the soil actually tends to be more moist, but well-draining. If you have a garden pool, you should drain it to avoid freezing. Hardy as well as non-hardy water lilies can be stored indoors at 50 degrees F in moist sand that is not allowed to dry out.
1. Clean the garden of weeds and spent plants. Dispose of anything diseased, compost the rest. If this will be your 2nd planting season, make note of what was where, so you can rotate your crops as best as possible.
2. Move existing mulch to the side. If it's still in good condition, you can re-use it for the fall. Most likely a lot of it has decomposed already and you'll need to add a bit more. Straw or shredded leaves make excellent mulch for vegetable gardens.
3. Loosen the soil. If your soil has gotten compacted during the course of the summer, fluff it up with a garden fork.
4. Amend the soil. Replenish the soil by working in some compost or other amendments. You can top dress with it or work it in while you are loosening the soil. Have your planting layout done before you add the compost, so you add it where the plants will be growing and not in the paths. If you choose to use manure, make sure it has thoroughly composted for at least 6 months.
5. Prepare for winter, If you are planning on using any kind of frost protection, like a cold frame or hoop cover, get your structures in place now. Don't put the covers in place yet, just the framing. Now you're ready to start planting. Of course, if this all sounds like too much work, you can always sow a "green manure" or cover crop and let your garden tend itself until spring.
Dig up and store dahlias, gladiolus, and other bulbs until next spring.
Plant tag teams of perennials and spring-blooming bulbs that will complement each other or bloom in sequence next season.
Clean out rose beds; apply fungicide; leave hips for winter color and bird food.
De-head chrysanthemum plants to keep flower buds forming through the fall.
If you have a garden pool, you should drain it to avoid freezing. Hardy as well as non-hardy water lilies can be stored indoors at 50 degrees F in moist sand that is not allowed to dry out.
Carefully dig gladiola, dahlia and tuberous begonia bulbs, and leave the foliage on. Put the bulbs in an airy, protected area for two to three weeks. Cut the foliage on gladiola and dahlias at the point where the foliage emerges from the bulb. Begonia stems should be allowed to dry until they are brittle and can be broken off from the bulbs.
Divide and reset crowded iris clumps, but remember to keep rhizome tops exposed.
Divide and transplant any poor-blooming old peonies or set out new ones this month. They need sun, good drainage and only two to three inches of soil over the crowns.
Cool Wave pansies are vigorous bloomers, like Wave petunias. Their fast-growing, spreading habit makes them great to use as ground covers or in hanging baskets and other containers.
Plant winter-hardy pansies and fall annuals (calendula, dianthus, ornamental cabbage and kale).
Extend the season for beets, carrots, leeks, onions, radishes, and parsnips by mulching. Light frost makes root vegetables sweeter, so leave them in the ground to harvest before the ground freezes.
Do you have more vegetables like potatoes, beets, tomatoes, peppers, etc. than you can eat now? Try dehydrating them for healthy and tasty winter snacks. Dehydrators are fairly inexpensive and easy to use.
To keep a light frost from killing tender vegetable plants, protect them with a synthetic row cover. This can work until a hard frost.
Clip off flowers on basil, oregano, mint, and marjoram plants to keep them producing. To preserve herbs, freeze in ice cube trays in water and put in plastic bags for the freezer or dry them in whole leaf form in a dark, cool cabinet.
A few garlic cloves in a pot will yield a supply of chive-like, spicy garlic greens all winter for garnish.
Mow back strawberry plants; remove weeds and re-mulch.
Harvest pumpkins when the rinds are hard. Leave a short stem, but don't use it to pick up the heavy pumpkin.
Let winter squash stay on the vines as long as possible for long keeping. Check for ripeness by pressing with your thumbnail, if the skin is easily broken they are not fully matured and may not keep well. Never wash them until just before using and never carry squash or pumpkins by the stem.
If slugs are eating your cabbage leaves, spread garden lime or agricultural-grade diatomaceous earth beneath the plants.
Harvest what carrots you need and leave the rest in the ground over winter. At spring thaw you're in for a sweet treat.
Continue sowing salad greens until October 1st. If a sudden hard-frost is predicted, and you don't have a proper row-cover, just throw a bed sheet over the crop.
If it's dry, be sure to water trees and shrubs now through hard frost so that they enter dormancy well-hydrated. Evergreens are particularly vulnerable to winter-burn if not well watered before the cold and winds set in.
If evergreens start to show some browning or yellowing of needles this month and next, it's normal. The oldest, innermost needles typically shed after a few years on the tree.
If fall rainfall has been below average, give shrubs a deep soaking after they go dormant.
Mulch shrubs two to three inches deep, making sure that mulch stays a few inches away from the base of the shrub.
Be on the lookout for dead, damaged, diseased wood in trees and shrubs and prune them out as discovered, but don't hard prune now, you'll risk encouraging new growth.
Dethatch and core aerate the lawn. Coring removes cores of soil and grass, opening holes for vigorous root growth on compacted or thatch-ridden turf. Cores will decompose on the lawn in a couple of weeks.
Test the lawn soil before automatically adding lime. Get a professional soil test done, which is easy and inexpensive (around $12 to $20) through your state agricultural Extension Service.


Dry skin sounds like a dream to those suffering from oily skin and its associated problems but the grass is not always greener.
Those suffering from persistent dry skin know all too well the discomfort and sensitivities that arise . The skin looks dull when its dry, and may appear to be wrinkly and aged.
What causes dry skin? Our skin type, whether it is dry, normal, oily or combination, is determined by our genes. However, eczema, psoriasis, and other skin conditions may also cause dryness along with the use of inappropriate skincare regimens and environmental factors, which can exacerbate this issue.
As a centre for aesthetic dermatology and advanced skincare, Cutis is specially qualifed to address dry skin through specialized maintenance treatments, SkinCeuticals medical grade skincare products, chemical peels and a variety of dermatological technologies which can stimulate cell renewal and reduce the negative effects of dry skin such as wrinkles, dullness and roughness. Contact us to for a consultation to learn how Cutis can help you restore a luminosity, smoothness and comfort to your dry skin.


"Renewable energy-powered microgrids have proven to be a valuable technology for self-contained (off-grid) energy systems. Characterizing microgrid system performance pre-deployment would allow the system to be appropriately sized to meet all required electrical loads at a given renewable source operational time frequency. A vanadium redox battery was empirically characterized to determine operating efficiency as a function of charging characteristics and parasitic load losses. A model was developed to iteratively determine system performance based on known weather conditions and load requirements. A case study was performed to compare modeled system performance to measurements taken during operation of the microgrid system. Another iterative model was developed to incrementally predict the microgrid operating performance as a function of diesel generator operating frequency. Calibration of the model was performed to determine accurate PV panel and inverter efficiencies. A case study was performed to estimate the constant loads the system could power at varying diesel generator operating frequencies. Typical Meteorological Year 3 (TMY3) data from 217 Class I locations throughout the United States was inserted into the model to determine the quantity of external AC and DC load the system could supply at intermittent diesel generator variable operational frequencies. Ordinary block Kriging analysis was performed using ArcGIS to interpolate AC and DC load power between TMY3 Class I locations for each diesel generator operating frequency. Figures representing projected AC and DC external load were then developed for each diesel generator operating frequency"--Abstract, page iv.

Making Family Connections Work in Tough Times
Kate Stoltzfus
When Juliana Urtubey started at a new elementary school in Las Vegas this fall, she knew outreach to families and caregivers would look different. As a special education learning strategist and the newly named 2020–21 Nevada Teacher of the Year, Urtubey has made it her mission to strengthen family connections in the special education space, particularly for students learning English. COVID-19 has radically altered the way educators and families work and live, sending schools like Urtubey's into full virtual mode and necessitating responsive services for students' ever-changing and varied needs. For the 4.9 million English-language learners and the roughly 7.1 million students in special education, challenges related to learning in this altered reality are even more pronounced. What can help, Urtubey suggests, is truly knowing the people in students' lives and the situations they are in—and she believes the current climate is allowing families and educators to work together in important ways. She spoke with ASCD about how to foster connections and alleviate cultural and linguistic challenges between families, educators, and students.
What has this year been like for you and your students?
My school district is fully virtual until further notice and reassessing every 30 days. It's been really beautiful to get to know the families on a deeper level. I think a lot of teachers didn't have that opportunity before, but they do now. It's a spectrum for students. I'm a special education teacher, and how their learning or thinking difference affects their learning is unique—even more so virtually. For some students, they can get their work done in an hour and a half, so they're free for the rest of the day to do whatever exploration and learning and fun they want. And if they have a solid home life and support, it's been great. For other students, they need the social interaction and the proximity to do their best learning. For students whose families have been impacted by the COVID-19 crisis, experiencing homelessness or shifts in where they live, that has been really difficult. That's the collective crisis that we're all experiencing—uncertainty.
What do families need to feel supported, especially now?
Right now, just like always, building relationships is something we have to do first. It's about truly knowing not just our students but [also] their families and their communities and constantly reassessing needs. If I have the trust and relationship with the family, we can go through struggles together. We need relationships that grow the grace to navigate distance education. It's also about getting to know each other on a deeper level: What are the goals for your family at this time? What is the most important thing you're focusing on right now? For some families, it's getting by. For others, it's not losing IEP goal success or progress. We have to be humble in knowing that our job is to support families' goals and hopes.
How are educators making connections happen?
The bright spot is seeing family support. We have a student who is in a self-contained autism program. He communicates nonverbally, his range of motion is limited, and to see the way his parents and [caregiver] help him during the classes just moves me. He needs an adult next to him to be able to function and participate in the class, and that's what so many families on every level are doing. For families who aren't able to do that, we have technologies like GoGuardian. When a student is using our school portal, a teacher can see their screen during our school session times and copy and paste links into the student's Chromebook to take them where they need to be. We have a student in a prekindergarten classroom who is being supported by his great-grandma, and she was frustrated by the technology because her eyesight and hearing are limited. A tool like that is life changing. Great-Grandma still sits next to him, but we can handle the tech piece on our end.
What about students for whom distance learning isn't working?
There is still a small percentage of students—I'd dare to say nationwide—with whom all the tried methods and strategies aren't working. I've been thinking a lot about the farm worker children and how they get access to education. The USDA ERS Distance Learning program follows them wherever they might be migrating with their family. It's a flexible schedule in the evening, and there are adults who can support the children. I wonder if we can roll out something like that at the state or district level for families for whom this is not working and where the school has done beyond its due diligence. Once teachers are out of strategies to connect with the families, we do home visits to collaborate with them. It's a small percentage of students, but each student counts.
Students who are bilingual, learning two languages, or developing English are at risk of being under- or over-represented for special education services. How do family connections help mitigate this problem?
It's a more holistic, systems-type conversation to ensure students have equitable access to rigorous, explicit, systematic instruction. It's how to provide teachers the tools and support to make sure all of our students have access to foundational skills consistently. Whether they're at risk for being identified for a disability or another eligibility or whether they're learning English as a second language or concurrently learning English and Spanish together, it works for all students to have explicit, sequential, research-based interventions. A lot of this is being rolled out through a multitier system of supports (MTSS), which I really appreciate, because Response to Intervention (RTI) isn't enough.
What are your go-to places for support and resources?
My go-to for working with families or anything in the special education realm is always Understood and the National Council for Learning Disabilities. My go-to for multilingual education and bilingual education is Colorín Colorado. They're tied to Reading Rockets, which is a great resource as well. When it comes to teacher leadership, reflection, and professional development, it's the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards. They have been tremendous in terms of finding out what all teachers need and providing support. They've probably done close to 100 webinars since March, bringing in experts from the field, and they've also extended deadlines for teachers who are candidates for National Board certification. In terms of equity, I am a part of the National Board Network of Accomplished Minoritized Educators (NAME). We have been doing virtual mixers with speakers, an affinity space for teachers of color to be open and vulnerable about our specific needs. We're also rolling out webinars on topics like SEL and inclusive book libraries that are open to all teachers, but they are led by and keeping in mind teachers of color in design and implementation. I love anything visible learning by John Hattie and visual distance learning by Jill Harrison Berg in ASCD publications. And more than anything, our colleagues are the best in terms of filling in our needs.
Anything else to add?
The most important thing right now is to keep telling teachers and families thank you. We see the amount of dedication, love, work, and grace that is being mutually provided. I am immensely grateful for the mountains that families are moving to make whatever situation work. I hear parents being flexible with teachers [and] understanding when things aren't working or when mistakes are made. We need to center on the fact that we are all doing the best that we can, but also remember the gratitude part. Collaboration and partnership are going to make education better for everybody.

The Hot Springs National Park trademark caper
At issue was a trademark which included the text
"Hot Springs National Park" within a geometric design.
The National Park Service objected to the registration.
The relevant statute as issue was section 2(e)(2) of the
Lanham Act which prohibits registration of a mark is merely
geographically descriptive.
For the government as petitioner to establish
that respondent's mark is primarily geographically descriptive,
it must show
-->that the mark is the name of a place known generally to the
public, and
-->that the public would make a goods/place
association, i.e., believe that the goods or services for
which the mark is registered originate in that place.
The TTAB framed the issue:
We must therefore determine
whether the primary significance of the mark, as a whole, is
a generally known geographic location. See In re Save
Venice New York Inc., 259 F.3d 1346, 1352, 59 USPQ2d 1778,
1782 (Fed. Cir. 2001).
The government lost:
We find, therefore, that petitioner has failed to
establish that the mark as a whole is the name of a place
known generally to the public. Rather, the evidence of
record supports a finding that only the disclaimed wording
in the mark is the name of a geographic location. Thus, the
disclaimed geographically descriptive wording HOT SPRINGS
NATIONAL PARK ARKANSAS in respondent's mark is a separate
element from the inherently distinctive design. See
generally TMEP §1210.06(a).
And, of the bigger issue:
Because petitioner has failed to establish the first
element of its claim of geographic descriptiveness, namely,
that the mark as a whole is the name of a place known to the
public, we find that petitioner cannot prevail on its
pleaded ground for cancellation, and we need not consider
whether the public would make a goods/place association,
i.e., believe that the goods or services for which the mark
is registered originate in that place. Cf. In re Societe
Generale des Eaux Minerals de Vittel, S.A., 824 F.2d 957, 3
USPQ2d 1450 (Fed. Cir. 1987); and In re California Pizza
Kitchen, Inc., 10 USPQ2d 1704 (TTAB 1988).

My pup is around 9 weeks old and he's on Royal Canine (breeder's food). i want to change it to a grainfree German-made dogfood but it has a high content of Calcium (2,52% - 3,39%) and Phosphorous (1,31% - 1,59%) <--from their puppy line.
I've read that excessive amount of both would/might lead to skeletal problems and renal failure.
We unfortunately don't have Fromm here, but we do have Taste of the wild, Acana, Orijen (these 2 are very expensive for me) Applaws (which I'm also contamplating of switching to, but availability is also a priority for me).
Can someone please help me? Like most newbies i'm very confused. I read alot of good reviews about Wolfsblut but i dunno if it's good for a baby bulldog because of the high Calcium and Phosphorous content. or am i just over analyzing things? or should i just go for it and see what happens?
Sorry, I don't have any experience with the brands you have mentioned. We use Fromms Beef Frittata, but I will tag some members who have experience with foods and can help you.
Calcium is vital for proper bone, muscle and nerve development. But calcium is useless without phosphorous. Phosphorous is what enables the body to process and absorb calcium and calcium needs phosphorous to be useful. So you NEED both. As long as the calcium to phosphorous ratio is 2:1 it is perfectly fine.
Phosphorous becomes a problem when the kidneys are already compromised. The misconception about kidney failure is that protein is the culpret. This is NOT true. Phosphorous is your devil. If your puppy is born with bad kidneys, or there is some sort of trauma to them or they ingest a toxin that causes renal weakness phosphorous makes the problem worse. But even then phosphorous is important so there is this very fine tight rope dancing that you have to do. The body needs calcium or it will begin to consume itself. Then and only then do you need to worry about the cal/phos ratio.
A 2:1 ratio for healthy animals, 1:1 for sick ones.
I checked out the website for this Wolfsblut (once it was translated into English lol) The only thing that concerns me about it is that sweet potatoes are the first ingredient. Meat should always be first on the list. Sandy @cowsmom should be along shortly, she is the Kibble Queen. I'm sure she will be able to offer more suggestions.
Vikinggirl thank you very much for tagging the others .
Twice thank you sooo much for explaining this to me and even made the effort to look into it, really appreciate it. so Wolfsblut is not what i thought it is. then what do you think of Applaws? i also read alot of good reviews about it, it boasts of having 75% meat content and 25% vegetables. although in 2010 they seemed to have Melamine and mycotoxins found in their dry catfood. i appreciate all the help! thank you very much!
I'm not as good as the kibble thing as @cowsmom but I'll take a shot at it The ingredients aren't bad and I would think a recall that old isn't as important as say a recall last month.
Sandy... I dug up the ingredients from the puppy formula... whatcha think?
Chicken 67% (from Dried Chicken), Chicken Mince 8% Potato Starch 7%, Peas 6% (from Dried Peas), Poultry Oil 3% (Source of Omega 6), Beet Pulp, Poultry Gravy, Whole Egg (from Dried Egg), Cellulose Plant Fibre, Minerals, Salmon Oil (source of Omega 3 & EPA & DHA) Vitamins, Tomato (from Dried Tomato), Carrot (from Dried Carrot), Chicory Extract (F.O.S), Alfalfa Meal, Seaweed/Kelp, Yeast Extract (Purified Beta Glucan min 0.1%), Glucosamine, Methylsulfonylmethane, Chondroitin, Peppermint, Paprika Meal, Turmeric, Thyme Extract, Citrus Extract, Taurine 1000 mg/kg, Yucca Extract, Cranberry, Fennel Extract, Carob Extract, Ginger, Rosehip Extract, Dandelion Extract, Rosemary Oil Extract, Oregano, Probiotic: Contains E1705 Enterococcus faecium cernelle 68 (SF68: NCIMB 10415) 1,000,000 cfu/kg as an aid in the establishment, maintenance and restoration of a balanced gut flora in puppies.
Vitamins: Vitamin A (retinyl acetate) 19,000 IU/kg, Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) 2,000 IU/kg, Vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol acetate) 640 mg/kg; Trace Elements: Sodium Selenite 0.33 mg/kg, Calcium Iodate Anhydrous 3.26 mg/kg, Ferrous Sulphate Monohydrate 233 mg, Cupric Sulphate Pentahydrate 40 mg/kg, Manganous Sulphate Monohydrate 94 mg/kg, Zinc Sulphate Monohydrate 444 mg/kg.

No added artificial colourants, flavourings or preservatives.
Excellent info (as always) Twice! Isn't Orijen a high quality 4 or 5 star food? I've heard good things about it but it is more expensive here then Fromm so I went w Fromm.
Once again great info. Before reading this I didn't have a clue about it.
ok i was checking this out and its kinda hard as the ingredients are not like our are here. i have a few reservations like beet pulp and it just says poultry oil and gravy and most of the ingredients are dried. i have looked it up on some other forums and it seems to be well liked and a good food however i have reservations of such a high fat food for such a low energy breed. would probably be good for a pup or young bully but for an older one not so much as they can put on weight. i love acana for bullies as its a bit lower protein which means lower fat and calories. if you want to try it i dont see why not. also the issue they had was in 2010 and that was a while ago and well we have had our issues with companies here so one incident so long ago would probably be ok.
Last edited by cowsmom; 07-06-2013 at 06:44 PM.
Orijen is rated 5 stars here. It is a great food but you're right about the price. Most here on EBN feed Fromm. It's a great, high quality, all stages food meaning it's just as good for seniors and puppies as it is for adults.
@Twice thank you very much for explaining this to me and making the time and effort to look into the ingredients of the dogfoods i want analyzed! sorry i forgot to post links for them .
@cowsmom thank you very much for analyzing the dogfoods for me and even looked for reviews about the dry dogfood.
Thank you both for taking your time helping me. you guys are simply the best! i hope you guys won't mind if i bother you again when and if i have more questions to ask? hehe. but i think i will go for Acana now lol. it's at the same price range as Applaws and Wolfsblut but not as expensive as Orijen. i don't want my puppy too chubby as he already is! his gaining a kilo a week (around 2lbs.) which is normal from what i read?
again i really can't thank you guys enough for the valuable information i gained hmmm where's the worship smiley here? that's what i want to put here .

The Ladybug is a versatile Hive bug. It moves up over other pieces and down into unoccupied spaces. It can change direction when moving, so it can get to positions that other pieces cannot quickly reach. The Ladybug is sometimes referred to as the Knight of Hive.
The Hive Ladybug Expansion piece is used as an add-on for the Standard Hive game. It adds an additional twist to the game play and it makes it a little more interesting.
