BCRC: How fresh pens and pastures prevent calf losses
Beef Research3 October 18, 2018
Whether it is the Sandhills Calving System or a variation, the objective is the same.

Doug Wray believes in keeping newborn calves separated as much as possible from other two-week and older calves on his south-central Alberta farm to avoid livestock congestion and dramatically reduce the risk of congregated calves developing and spreading scours. And for the past several years the plan has worked.
Wray, who along with family members operates Wray Ranch near Irricana, north of Calgary, has developed this calving-on-pasture system over the past 10 years. In his year-round grazing system, his herd of about 300 bred cows moves onto grass about May 10. They actually begin calving May 1 on swath grazing and then by May 10 the pregnant cows move to grass and the first batch of cows-with-calves stay behind.
The first grass pasture is 160 acres in size, divided into eight 20-acre paddocks.
"The herd is managed in one group on pasture for about two weeks before we make the first split," says Wray. At roughly the first two-week mark cows with calves (usually about 120 head) "are taken to fresh pasture in one direction, while the bred cows head to new grass in another direction," he explains. Wray essentially runs two herds at calving season. One group of pregnant cows, that get's smaller with each passing week, and one group of cow-calf pairs that get's larger over the calving season. The pregnant cows are managed on one quarter divided into paddocks, while the cow-calf pairs are managed on another quarter about three-quarters of a mile away. That quarter is also divided into paddocks.

The timing of each split of the herd — separating pregnant cows from cow-calf pairs — is determined by "it depends", says Wray. Part of the decision is based on how fast grass is growing and the other part on how many cows have calved. "On average once we get into mid and later May we are probably making a split every three or four days to a week," says Wray. "If the grass is really growing we move faster and if it is slower we may delay the move."
"It is very much a read and react approach," says Wray. On the pregnant herd quarter he's looking to move that group to new grass at least once a week. Pregnant cows are removed from any cow-calf pairs and the pregnant cows go into to a new paddock. The cow-calf pairs remain behind. Once he has somewhere between 50 and 75 cow-calf pairs in a paddock on the pregnant-herd side of the rotation, he trails those cow-calf pairs over to the pair's quarter section where they join earlier cow-calf pairs.
And of course with each split the pregnant cow numbers are getting smaller while the cows-with-calves group is getting larger. But it is a parallel system with each group moving to new ground every few days to about a week. "The overall principle is to keep both groups of cattle moving to fresh ground," says Wray. "Quite often we have an environment where we have plenty of fresh growing grass and the sun is shining, and it is very favourable conditions for calving. If we run into a couple days where it is cold and wet we won't move a group of new cow-calf pairs from the pregnant herd side of the rotation over to the pairs-rotation. We'll wait. But generally if we have nice sunny conditions there hasn't been a problem moving pairs from one rotation over to the other and mixing them with older calves. But again, even the pairs' side is moving to fresh ground about once a week."
The rotation is good for calf health and it also fits with Wray's pasture management objectives — as grass is rapidly growing he likes to move cattle through quickly to take the first clip off before they return later in the season.
The herd's breeding season usually runs about 54 days, so the length of calving season is typically one week on either side of that period. "Once we get to early June we may only have 20 head or so left to calve," says Wray. By the end of calving season, the herd will be regrouped in a main herd of cow-calf pairs to continue through a rotational grazing system for the summer.
"Our primary objective is to keep new born calves from being all bunched together and to make sure we're always calving on fresh ground," says Wray. The system has produced excellent results from a calf-health standpoint.
"Our primary objective is to keep new born calves from being all bunched together and to make sure we're always calving on fresh ground."
"Scours and some of the other new born calf issues such as respiratory disease, just aren't a concern," says Wray.
He was a bit concerned by the late spring of 2018 — cows were just beginning to calve as snow was melting — but the system worked well again. The herd was swath grazing close to the corrals right up to calving. But just as calving started he moved the herd to a nearby quarter section of grass not far from the cattle handling facilities. "The snow stayed right up until calving, so ground conditions were fairly wet," he says. "I figured if there were any problems on pasture, the herd was close enough that I could bring anything that needed attention over to the corrals. There were maybe half a dozen we had to bring back because cows had swollen udders or really large teats and the calves couldn't nurse, but no scours."
Wray says his management strategy for healthy calves is to keep newborns separated from older calves and always keep the calving herd moving to new ground a build up of disease bacteria. "The system seems to work well for us because we are calving later, calving on pasture and we are also moving cattle to make sure they have fresh grass," says Wray.
THE SANDHILLS CALVING SYSTEM
While this might be dubbed the Wray Calving System, it is also aligns as a variation of a system developed at the University of Nebraska about 20 years ago, known as the Sandhills Calving System (developed on pastures in the Sandhills of Nebraska).
The Sandhills system was designed to protect calf health by providing separation between newborn calves and older calves (two weeks of age and older) during a critical time of the year when the risk of disease development, primarily scours, is high. Many Canadian veterinarians and other animal health specialists are encouraging more producers to consider the Sandhills Calving System or some variation to reduce the risk of calf losses due to disease.
Dr. Elizabeth Homerosky, a veterinarian with Veterinary Agri-Health Services in Airdrie north of Calgary, regularly recommends the Sandhills Calving System or modifications thereof to her clients.
Newborn calves co-mingled with older calves, particularly if they are concentrated in a relatively small area, and particularly if weather conditions are cool and wet is really the ideal scenario for the development of a scours outbreak in a cowherd.
"The traditional Sandhills system has been proven to be effective in reducing the risk of scours in calves," says Homerosky. "But an important consideration is that it takes some planning."
Research has shown the cycle of scours at calving often originates with mature beef cows as they carry
the scours pathogen. Scour pathogens are viruses, bacteria and microscopic parasites. Cows shed the pathogen on the ground in manure. Newborn calves often pick up the pathogen and may not become sick, but their guts serve as pathogen-multipliers. These calves shed an increasing load of pathogen onto the calving ground, then newborn calves come along and pick up the heavy load of the bacteria. The dose-load of pathogens overwhelms the calf 's ability to resist disease, and suddenly the beef producer is dealing with a bunch of sick calves. And if a beef herd calves on the same area year after year, the soil can also be contaminated with scour-causing pathogens. So by keeping the more vulnerable newborn calves on clean ground away from the higher-risk two-week and older calves, the risk of a scours outbreak is greatly reduced.
Back to the planning part as producers consider developing a Sandhills Calving System.
"Among the first considerations — producers need to have enough land available to handle each group of cows and calves over the calving season," says Homerosky. "The herd should be split about every two weeks with the cows that haven't calved moved to a fresh pasture." If a producer has a 60-day breeding season, for example, they would need to have planned for five pastures with adequate holding capacity."
She often works with producers to develop a pasture chart to handle cattle numbers. If the producer has 300 head of bred cows, for example, the starting #1 pasture needs to be large enough to accommodate the whole herd and first batch of calves for two weeks. Pasture #2 needs to be large enough to hold the estimated number of cows still to calve for another two weeks and so on.
Homerosky says proper fencing to provide separation of the calved and to-calve herds is important. She says a single strand electric wire to divide pastures usually isn't sufficient as calves can cross under the wire and mix.
Another important planning aspect includes providing adequate water for each herd in their respective pastures. Depending on calving season dates, water may need to be available quite early in the spring.
Homerosky says newborn calves are most vulnerable to some of the scour-causing pathogens within the first weeks of life, but their immunity grows as each day passes, provided they received adequate and good quality colostrum at birth. Once calves reach about four weeks of age their immunity system has developed sufficiently to fight most scour-causing pathogens.
While the original Sandhills Calving System involves a pasture sequence that leaves cow-calf pairs behind as the yet-to-calve cattle are moved to fresh ground, there are variations that work, as well.
Doug Wray described a pasture calving system that works for his operation. Homerosky says she has also worked to develop a modified Sandhills calving system with producers who prefer to the keep the calving herd close in to corrals and calving facilities and move the cow-calf pairs to new ground. These may be smaller beef operations, purebred producers, or farms with a smaller land base.
Under the Foothills system, Homerosky recommends cow-calf pairs be moved away from the main pregnant cowherd within 24-hours of calves being born.
"I often refer to it as the Foothills Calving System," says Homerosky. This variation is just the reverse described in the Sandhills system. The bred cowherd is held in one pasture or calving area, and as soon as calves begin to appear, cow-calf pairs are moved to the next area or nursery pasture.
Under the Foothills system, Homerosky recommends cow-calf pairs be moved away from the main pregnant cowherd within 24-hours of calves being born. For example, if 10 calves are born today, as soon as they have nursed and are ambulatory move that group to the new paddock or first nursery pasture within 24 hours. If 10 calves are born tomorrow, do the same thing — move those pairs into the paddock or nursery pasture to join up with the first day's calves. Ideally she recommends following this approach for about 10 days (no more than two weeks). Keep moving cow-and-newborn-calf pairs into that first nursery pasture for 10 days to two weeks (or before if the pasture reaches capacity). At the 10 day to two-week mark start moving cows and newborn calf pairs to fresh ground in a new second nursery pasture and continue using it for 10 to 14 days before starting a third nursery pasture.
"Newborn calves do not shed any scours pathogens in their manure within the first 24 hours of life, so that's why it is important to move those calves within 24 hours," says Homerosky. By moving the pairs it limits their exposure to any pathogens that may be present around the main cowherd and they are also not adding to the pathogen load in the calving area.
If by some chance a case of scours does develop, the Foothills systems allows a producer to contain or manage the outbreak to within a small group of animals, rather than whole herd.
Claire Windeyer, a veterinarian and associate professor at the University of Calgary has seen these systems work extremely well. "It is really all about providing the newborn calf with a good environment," says Windeyer. "It does take proper planning and management and time on the part of the producer but getting those calves to a clean environment is the best means of reducing the risk of calves developing scours. No system provides a 100 per cent guarantee but it certainly increases the odds of a raising a healthy calf."
As most producers know, scours or other early calfhood diseases such as pneumonia not only reduce calf performance, but often result in death and those add up to an economic loss to the producer.
Results of the 2014 Western Canada Cow-Calf Survey (WCCCS), for example, reported that scours and pneumonia accounted for about 30 per cent of calf deaths. The 2017 WCCCS survey reported similar losses with about 25 per cent of calf deaths attributed to scours. Taking it a bit further, other Canadian beef industry research showed while calves treated for scours can survive, their performance is compromised, resulting in weaning weights anywhere from 15 to 30 pounds lighter than counterparts that didn't get sick. And still other industry research calculated the overall cost of calf death loss, treatment costs, and reduced performance in a 100 head beef herd with a 20 per cent incidence of scours resulted in a $40 per head cost per bred cow or about $4,000 in that year.
"Implementing some version of this calving system does take time and labor," says Windeyer. "But if a beef operation appears to be struggling with some degree of scours every year it may be well worth considering. It might only take having a couple more calves to wean in the fall to cover the cost of the time and management required to reduce the risk of scours."

A Palestinian man stands amid tear gas during clashes between Israeli forces and Palestinian protesters following a demonstration calling for the release of Palestinian prisoners from Israeli jails, on January 13, 2018, in the West Bank village of Nabi Saleh.
JERUSALEM (JTA) — A Palestinian man was killed during clashes with Israeli soldiers near Qalqilya in the West Bank.
Dozens of Palestinians were protesting in Jayyus, located near the western border of the West Bank, and began throwing rocks at Israel Defense Forces soldiers deployed near Qalqilya.
The soldiers responded with riot dispersal methods and live fire, the IDF confirmed.
The man was identified by Palestinian Authority Health Ministry as Muhammad Ahmed Salim, 24. He reportedly was shot in the head at close range.
The Palestinian Maan news agency reported that Salim was 28. Maan reported that the Israeli military prevented ambulances from immediately reaching the wounded man. Maan also reported that Salim, a student at the Al Quds Open University in Qalqilya, spent three years in an Israeli prison and was released in 2016.
According to Maan, Salim is the 17th Palestinian killed since President Trump announced on December 6 that the United States would recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital.

Lawyers representing the victims of the "Elephant Man" drug trial called for an independent inquiry into what went wrong as a report into the disaster was branded "the latest in a series of whitewashes" last night.
They said a report from a Government-appointed panel into the catastrophic trial which left six men fighting for their lives did not go far enough.
The report makes 22 recommendations to improve the safety of clinical trials testing drugs in humans for the first time.
But it was dismissed for failing to pinpoint basic mistakes by the drug companies involved and the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency which approved the trial.
Six of eight trial volunteers were given the TGN 1412 drug in quick succession.
All suffered serious side effects needing treatment in intensive care, with two developing severe reactions.
Bar manager Mohamed "Nino" Abdelhardy, 28, was described as "the Elephant Man" by his partner Myfanwy Marshall after his head swelled up.
Trainee plumber Ryan Wilson, 20, suffered a frostbite-like reaction and had to have all his toes and some of his fingers amputated.
He suffered heart, kidney and liver failure, pneumonia and septicaemia and was in a coma for three weeks.
The men have been told they now face a real risk of cancer or immunological diseases, such as multiple sclerosis, in the future.
They are considering suing Paraxel, the research company that conducted the trial in March at its premises within Northwick Park Hospital in north London for the German biotech company TeGenero, which has since gone bankrupt.
The drug, which belongs to a class known as monoclonal antibodies, was designed as a novel way of treating leukaemia and autoimmune disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis.
It was meant to stimulate the immune system to fight the disease process, but instead it unleashed a "cytokine storm" of chemical signals that sent the immune system into overdrive.
The catastrophe occurred even though laboratory and animal tests, including tests on monkeys, suggested the drug was safe to try out in humans for the first time.
Professor Gordon Duff, whose expert working group was set up by Health Secretary Patricia Hewitt, presented his 22 recommendations in a report the size of a telephone directory.
They include advice to stagger the use of novel drugs in volunteers - so they don't all get it at once - and to give them by infusion over a number of hours which means the trial could be stopped if a problem emerges.
Independent scientific advice should be sought before high-risk trials get the go-ahead from the MHRA.
The report suggests setting up specialist centres for initial trials of high risk medicines which would be subject to inspection.
If the recommendations were adopted, it would make clinical trials safer, said Prof Duff.
However, he warned, "With any first exposure to any new medicine there is always some risk involved, even if it may be small."
But Ann Alexander from law firm Irwin Mitchell, which represents the two men most seriously injured and Raste Khan who was given the placebo as part of the trial, said the report left too many questions unanswered.
She said: "The group did not have the wide remit needed to allow the full story to be heard, and all the lessons to be learnt."
Solicitor Martyn Day of Leigh, Day and Co which represents four of the trial victims, said they felt it was "the latest in a series of whitewashes".
He said: "The Duff report has done a good job at looking at the lessons to be learned but it does nothing in terms of helping my clients understand the detail of exactly what happened and what went wrong.
"This is not only upsetting for them but it is an indictment of a system that despite four reports from the regulator, the MHRA, and now Professor Duff, the finger of blame has been pointed at no-one.
"This report helps my clients not one jot. With the bankruptcy of TeGenero they are left to have the fight for the financial help they need with Paraxel alone."
Mr Day said his clients would pursue Paraxel to the High Court if it failed to come up with an offer by the end of the year.
Scientists involved in the Duff report said, after months of work, they had designed a laboratory blood test for antibody agents which would have "rung alarm bells" if it had been available for TGN 1412.
Crucially, the test revealed a harmful effect on human cells, but not those of monkeys, said Professor Stephen Inglis, director of the National Institute for Biological Standards and Control.
"The immune systems of the primates didn't work the same way as humans," he said.
Independent biotechnology consultant Dr David Glover said there should be an independent investigation of the MHRA which had repeatedly and "incorrectly" stated the effects of the drug were unexpected.
He said "Subsequent laboratory investigations, revealed in the report, have shown that, under optimised conditions, the cytokine storm could be produced in a test tube - thereby confirming what I and others said at the beginning, that the effects of the drug were predictable and expected."
The Department of Health said the MHRA had put in place procedures for assessing independent scientific advice. An expert advisory group to review applications for high-risk trials would be established next year.
Measures had also been taken to improve information sharing between the MHRA and research ethics committees, which vet trial applications at a local level.
The Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry (ABPI) said its guidelines for drug companies on the conduct of clinical trials were being revised following the recommendations.

The White Bird Marked with Black
DVD • January 17, 1972 • 1h 39m
Colourful 'optimistic tragedy' of a poor family in Ukraine, living in the Carpathian mountains near the Romanian border, during the Second World War. This epic, which won the grand prize at the Moscow Film Festival in 1971, chronicles a family's struggle for survival in an area that was claimed as part ... More of Rumania, Poland and the Ukraine, all within a short span of time. The family is very poor, and has a great many children. When World War II comes, various family members choose different masters; some even choose to work for the Soviets. War, struggle, marriages, births, deaths--all these events punctuate the story of this large family. Belaya Ptitsa s Chernoi Otmetinoi, or Bily Ptakh Z Chornoyu Oznakoyu was filmed in the Ukrainian language and was directed by the famed Ukrainian cinematographer, Yuri Ilyenko. It is notable for the way its rich, poetic imagery splashes across the screen, and is considered to be an important part of Ukrainian film heritage. Less

I've been thinking about how to make herbal medicine accessible to everyone and while thinking about lots of different strands – teaching, writing, community etc. I did a little doodle (my artist self came out). It was inspired by a friend's (Emma Calcutt) doodle of a womb and I just thought that is a beautiful way to teach – visuals. So I sat down and started the first drawing of what I hope to make into a series/book/booklet etc. for teaching and sharing… Here is it. It is basically a visual tool to help remember what herbs we might choose to use for certain people and their conditions. It is not definitive or specific to any one person but an indication of some of the herbs commonly used for a certain part of the body. I hope you like it!
I used a few herbs that I really like – raspberry leaf, wild rose, lady's mantle, white dead nettle and yarrow. I call them 'womb herbs' but they are *just* plants with a myriad of uses. The galactic bit is in the stars – the cosmos, the cosmic! It is incredible how our bodies work, the mysteries, the potential, the healing and creating – a womb is an incredible bit of kit! I certainly am ever-learning more and more – in terms oh physiology, chemistry, life, women's history, power, language. etc.
I will be doing courses in herbal medicine this year – email me if you are interested in attending.

FPs Are at Front Lines of Combating Post-traumatic Health Issues in Vets
AAFP Joins Forces With White House Campaign to Aid Returning Troops
February 29, 2012 04:05 pm Matt Brown –
Too many soldiers home from deployment bear the emotional scars of combat silently, leaving it to their doctors to uncover and treat hard-to-identify wounds that can tear lives apart long after a tour of duty ends. Fortunately, family physicians are uniquely qualified to ensure these returning veterans get the medical care they deserve.
According to a 2008 study from the RAND Corp.(www.rand.org), more than 300,000 U.S. veterans returning from combat in Iraq and Afghanistan -- nearly 20 percent of the total number of troops deployed at that time -- reported symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or major depression. Moreover, about one in three returning veterans experiences signs or symptoms of combat stress, depression, PTSD or traumatic brain injury (TBI).
In addition, the most recent data from the Armed Forces Health Surveillance Center(www.dvbic.org) (AFHSC), show that more than 30,000 soldiers were treated in 2010 for TBI. The AFHSC also reported in the October 2011 issue of Medical Surveillance Monthly Report(afhsc.mil) that alcohol abuse in soldiers is increasing sharply.
It is these discouraging numbers, in part, that have prompted the AAFP to unite with first lady Michelle Obama and Jill Biden, M.D., in the Joining Forces campaign(www.whitehouse.gov), which launched in April 2011. The initiative is intended to call attention to the critical issues facing veterans and military families and to expand access to wellness programs and other resources for this population.
The AAFP is partnering with the White House to better serve combat veterans who are suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), traumatic brain injury (TBI) and similar health issues.
Roughly half of these service members will receive their care outside of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs system.
FPs are encouraged to look for symptoms of these disorders in returning service members and to ask questions of both patients and their family members to uncover any health issues.
Educational resources on diagnosing and treating PTSD, TBI and depression are available online.
"According to the White House and the Department of Defense (DoD), about half of returning veterans from these two wars will soon get their care via the private sector -- not VA (U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs) hospitals or the DoD," said AAFP EVP Douglas Henley, M.D. "It is very likely that our members will be caring for these patients in their communities.
"It is important that members be aware of and comfortable with diagnosing these (combat-related) conditions or serve the important surveillance function of referring these patients, when needed, to other specialists for confirming such diagnoses and making recommendations for treatment."
Patching Holes in the Net
Family physician and Capt. Mark Stephens, M.D., of Bethesda, said that although active-duty service members remain in the military health system when they return stateside, most reservists and those released from active duty typically access care through community-based resources.
"For the reserve component, they will remain on active duty for a little while after coming home, so we do try to keep folks around to look for medical issues that might arise after deployment," said Stephens. "But once reservists demobilize, they go back to their previous civilian life and that includes seeking medical care in the community."
Stephens, who is chair of the Department of Family Medicine at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, told AAFP News Now that the military is doing its best to ensure returning service members receive the care they need, but no system is perfect.
AAFP Provides FPs With Resources to Treat Returning Vets
As part of the Joining Forces campaign(www.whitehouse.gov) initiated by first lady Michelle Obama and Jill Biden, M.D., the AAFP has gathered together a number of resources on treating returning veterans that can help FPs deal with these patients and their families.
The AAFP's Joining Forces webpage includes screening tools, articles from American Family Physician, patient information and free CME that family physicians can use to identify and treat their military patients.
"We have post-deployment health screenings … and the system does what it can to set up this safety net, but the reality is that some people, in wanting to just get home, may slip through the cracks in terms of underreporting symptoms," he noted. "For PTSD, somebody might be feeling fine when they come home and truly may not have symptoms at that time, but once they reintegrate into their 'normal' routine, then the intrusive thoughts can creep in."
According to FP Jeffrey Sonis, M.D., M.P.H., of Chapel Hill, N.C., family physicians are in a perfect position to plug the holes in the safety net. "There is a significant gap between treatment and need, as many of these soldiers go home to places where there is no VA hospital within hundreds of miles," Sonis said. "At least 50 percent of the veterans that have a problem when they get back don't receive care in the VA, even when they are eligible.
"Civilian FPs have a huge potential role here to serve as the de-facto mental health system for vets," Sonis said. "We are everywhere. If physicians can identify the problem and do a good job of treating it, we have an enormous opportunity to help."
Making a Positive Impact
Capt. Sara Kass, M.D., a family physician in Bethesda, Md., said she thinks that because FPs are positioned in communities across the United States, they are uniquely qualified to identify patients and their families who may be struggling with TBI and PTSD, as well as those facing depression and substance abuse issues. Kass is the deputy commander of the DoD's National Intrepid Center of Excellence -- an institute dedicated to providing cutting-edge evaluation, treatment planning, research, and education for active-duty service members and their families who are dealing with mild TBI and other psychological health conditions.

The future of treating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI) is quite possibly being built at the National Intrepid Center of Excellence (NICoE) in Bethesda, Md.
Run by the United States Department of Defense, NICoE was established to provide cutting-edge evaluation, treatment planning, research and education for service members and their families dealing with the complex interactions of MTBI and psychological health conditions.
AAFP member Capt. Sara Kass, M.D., deputy commander of the NICoE, said the institute has a three-pronged mission focused on research, patient and clinician education, and clinical care.
"When we think of the wounds of this almost 10-year war we've been engaged in, people are aware of the issues with improvised explosive devices and the resulting amputations that have occurred … but there's also what we call the 'invisible wounds of war,'" Kass said. "While there are many efforts under way to address these conditions, they are complex entities by themselves … but oftentimes, they happen in a comorbid situation where both occur in the same individual.
"When that happens, it is a very complex disease entity, and we don't know all that we need to know about it and how to treat it. Therefore, the NICoE was established to advance the science in regards to PTSD and MTBI."
Kass said that the NICoE uses an interdisciplinary model involving the patient, the family and a primary care health care professional both during an inpatient period, as well as an intensive, four-week outpatient program.
"We do see improvements in clinical indicators, both in symptoms of post-traumatic stress, as well as other neural behavioral indicators," she said. "While it is early in our discovery, we're starting to see some things that indicate that the care patients are receiving here at the NICoE is really making a difference."
"By having that relationship with the whole family -- sometimes it is not the veterans themselves, but a family member who is struggling -- and by asking questions in the context of the whole family, it gives us that window into the situation to identify the problem and engage them in therapy," Kass said. "I think with a situation like this, you want as many portals to care as you can get … both in the military and civilian sectors, we (FPs) provide the biggest access portal to care."
Stephens agreed that FPs can make a significant impact, but to do so, he said, it's important that they pay attention to what their patients may be telling them nonverbally.
"This should be right up the alley of most family docs, there's no question about it," he said. "However, no one is realistically going to come in off the street and say, 'Hey, Doc, I have PTSD.' It is our job to know what questions to ask … to recognize those nonverbal cues that, in hindsight, are not that hard to spot when someone is depressed or has an alcohol problem.
"And it's our job to ask the follow-up questions. So when the medical complaints just aren't making sense -- the chronic headache, the hard-to-define abdominal pain, the red flags associated with either depression or alcohol use -- we have to connect those dots."
Stephens said that it is key for physicians who provide care for individuals with potential medical issues relating to a military deployment to ask open-ended questions, such as
"Please tell me about your deployment."
"Please describe any unusual situations or circumstances you were in that might relate to your current symptoms."
"Are there any other issues potentially relating to your deployment that you would like to discuss?"
He also pointed to one particular issue -- changes in sleep patterns -- as a common clue to underlying deployment-related issues.
"Insomnia is a huge red flag," Stephens said. "Most FPs are pretty comfortable handling issues relating to sleep -- for instance, simple cognitive therapies to help patient with insomnia. Most family physicians will also be comfortable handling depression. In addition, most family docs are going to know what to do when someone talks about suicide.
"It is this versatility that makes family physicians so critical in recognizing and treating post-deployment medical issues -- in the military and also in the civilian community."
Sonis said that although many family physicians currently receive "a fair amount of training in treating depression," in his experience, few feel comfortable with PTSD or TBI. But training in recognizing and managing these health conditions is available. In fact, Sonis himself has designed a free, one-hour online AAFP-approved CME(www.aheconnect.com) course on treating PTSD.
"The course is obviously not comprehensive," he said. "But it does focus on practical steps one can take during the course of an office visit. It aims to give specific skills to help FPs treat PTSD and TBI appropriately and also helps civilians understand military culture a little better."
Sonis said family physicians and other health care professionals who want to serve returning military service members also can sign up to do so at the Citizen Soldier Support Program website WarWithin.org(www.warwithin.org).

10 facts about Martin Luther King
Learn about the world-famous civil rights campaigner…
Meet the civil rights leader in our Martin Luther King facts and discover how he changed history for millions of African-American people during the Civil Rights Movement…
Martin Luther King facts
Full name: Michael King Jr.
Born: 15 January 1929.
Hometown: Atlanta, Georgia, USA.
Occupation: Minister and activist.
Died: 4 April 1968.
Best known for: Campaigning for the rights of African Americans during the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s.
1) Martin Luther King Jr was born in the United States of America to African American parents. At birth he was named Michael King, but his father later changed his name to Martin Luther King Jr.
2) When Martin Luther King was growing up, life was hard for African Americans. The Southern United States operated under the 'Jim Crow laws' that kept black and white people separated in what was called 'segregation'. Black people had different schools, toilets and even sections of the bus to white people. They were also denied the right to vote in elections.
3) Martin Luther King had his first experience of segregation at just six years old, when he was told he wasn't allowed to play with his white friend anymore – his friend's father wouldn't allow it!
4) His first major role in the Civil Rights Movement came in 1955, after an African American lady – Rosa Parks – was arrested for refusing to give up her seat to a white man on a bus. This sparked outrage in the African American community and Martin helped to organise a boycott of the city's buses. After 381 days of protest, a court finally ruled that such segregation laws should no longer be recognised.
Did you know that we have a FREE downloadable Martin Luther King primary resource? Great for teachers, homeschoolers and parents alike!
5) Martin was a great believer in peaceful protest, inspired by the Indian activist Mahatma Gandhi. His protests used no-violent tactics, even when the protesters themselves were met with violence from the police.
6) In 1963, Martin gave his famous "I Have a Dream" speech, at a famous rally named 'March on Washington.' Over 250,000 people gathered in the country's capital to hear Martin and other activists speak about the importance of civil rights. It has become one of the most famous speeches in history and focuses on Martin's dream of a society where black people and white people live together in harmony.
7) In 1964 – 99 years after the abolition of slavery – the Civil Rights Act was passed, outlawing racial segregation and discrimination in the USA.
8) In October 1964, Martin won the Nobel Peace Prize! He was told over the phone whilst he was in bed suffering from exhaustion – it had been a long, hard fight for civil rights!
9) Tragically, Martin Luther King Jr was assassinated in 1968 in Tennessee, where he had given a speech the day before. He was standing on the balcony his hotel when he was shot. James Earl Ray was convicted of his murder and spent the rest of his life in prison, despite claiming to be innocent. James died in 1998.
10) Martin Luther King Jr is remembered for his tireless work during the Civil Rights Movement and his dream that one day everyone would be treated as equals. A statue built in his memory now stands in Washington D.C. and each year, the third Monday in January is celebrated as Martin Luther King Jr. Day, an American federal holiday.

Amnesty law will take effect on January 12
The amnesty law will take effect on January 12 and at the first stage, political prisoners will leave prison, said Sozar Subari, the Minister of Legal Assistance and Corrections, Justice Minister Thea Tzulukiani and the Chairwoman of the Parliamentary Committee of Human Rights, Eka Beselia, at a joint press conference on January 9.
According to Beselia, if President Mikheil Saakashvili does not sign the law by January 11, the Parliament Chairman will execute it on January 12.
"Political prisoners will be released without trial, meaning they will leave prison immediately," Eka Beselia said. Minister Subari added that release of political prisoners will start on January 13. All 190 people will leave prisons at the same time. As for other prisoners, the minister said the parliament gave two weeks term to the Ministry of Legal Assistance and Corrections for sending cases to courts. Courts have a two month term for releasing the prisoners. (IPN)
Government requests jury trial in high-profile cases
The Ministry of Justice has tabled a draft of legislative amendments, which, if approved by the parliament, will make it possible to apply jury trials to those high-profile cases in which former government officials were charged after the new government came to office.
Jury trials were introduced in Georgia in late 2011, but currently it only applies to cases of aggravated murder and cases of murder committed in the heat of passion, as well as in cases of rape.
According to the draft of the legislative amendment proposed by the Justice Ministry, jury trials should also apply to those cases in which former or current officials face criminal charges; the same should also apply to those who have not held public office but are charged in those same cases in which former officials were involved.
"The goal of the bill is to strengthen the jury system and also to provide to former high-ranking officials the right to use the democratic aspects of a jury trial as a verdict. A verdict delivered by a jury enjoys higher public trust," the Justice Ministry said in a statement on January 9.
The idea of applying jury trials to the cases in which former government officials have been charged was first voiced by Chief Prosecutor Archil Kbilashvili on December 20. (Civil.Ge)
Maia Panjikidze refrains from nominating candidates for new ambassadors
The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Maia Panjikidze, refrained from naming candidates for new ambassadors. She said that although the candidates have already been agreed upon by the Prime Minister and her colleagues, she does not want to name them yet. Panjikidze once again explained that those 6 ambassadors were recalled, whose terms of office are to expire by April 1. According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, these are ambassadors of Hungary, the Czech Republic, Ukraine, Latvia, Vienna and the OSCE. While ambassador to the USA, according to Panjikidze, resigned of his own will. (IPN)
Fugitive ex-minister's lawyer demands publicity of proceedings
Lawyer of the former minister of justice, Zurab Adeishvili, who currently is in Belgium, demands public access to the court proceedings, which will begin on February 28. Gocha Svanidze briefed about it yesterday answering the questions of the media. He said although he did not have direct contact with his defendant he only discussed the details of the case with his parents. Svanidze said he does not know whether Adeishvili was granted political asylum by Belgium's government or not. (Rustavi 2)
Civil Aviation Unions calls on government to revise strategy
Chairperson of the Civil Aviation Unions Giorgi Kodua says 90% of the aviation sector is monopolized in Georgia causing expensive costs on flights. Kodua defined yesterday that the additional tax collections imposed for national air transport companies has resulted in a rise of prices on flights. Kodua calls on the government to revise the aviation strategy; otherwise, he fears the current system will affect development of tourism in the country.
"Development of the air-sector depends on chief tariffs and direct flights, but during the past few years the only development we had was night flights, transit flights and a high cost of tickets. Therefore, it is natural that the development of tourism sector may be affected," Kodua said. (Rustavi 2)
Probation Minister comments on Ombudsman`s recommendation
The Public Defender of Georgia calls on the Ministry of Corrections and Legal Assistance to provide all convicts in prisons with TV sets. Ucha Nanuashvili has sent the recommendation to Minister Sozar Subari. Nanuashvili says the monitoring revealed that inmates have no TV sets in N7 and N9 prisons. However, commenting on the ombudsman's recommendation, Minister Subari said the ministry is working on the problem and soon every convict will have TV sets in the cells. (Rustavi 2)

Springtime means cocktail menus with a focus on lighter spirits and hints of sweetness. Here are three to add to your must-try list.
What's in it: Vida mezcal, tequila, Ancho Reyes liqueur, beet juice, lemon juice, mole bitters, honey, cracked salt.
Why you should try it: This is the inaugural cocktail menu from Joe Fisketti, who has filled bartender Eric Johnson's large shoes after Johnson departed Juniper & Ivy to open The Smoking Gun. Fisketti enjoys working with mezcal and tequila, and this cocktail contains a double dose of agave spirits. Spice from Ancho Reyes, earthiness from beets, and a bit of savoriness from the salt make for a winning combo.
What's in it: Agave de Cortez mezcal, Chareau aloe liqueur, Chartreuse, lime, agave, mint.
Why you should try it: The Mezcal & Flowers is featured on another inaugural menu, this time by Meghan Balser. She recently took over for Will Van Leuven, who helped open Little Italy's Herb & Wood two years ago. Balser's specialty is whiskey (she was at North Park's Seven Grand for years), but here she's created a delicate, yet straightforward mezcal cocktail that builds on Agave de Cortez's smokey, floral notes. And it looks mighty pretty, too.
What's in it: Vodka, Jagermeister, housemade orange curaçao, tangerine juice, lime juice, clove syrup, soda.
Why you should try it: Jagermeister's comeback a few years ago wasn't just a fad, as bartenders continue to find new ways to use the German herbal liqueur. While it pairs well with rum, Sycamore Den's Jesse Ross opted for a base spirit that doesn't compete with the cocktail's mix of citrus and spice. This cocktail is served in specially designed retro glassware that, unfortunately, wasn't available just yet for a photo, so keep an eye on the Den's IG feed.


Although the original design is for use in the car, can be very useful as rotating disk help patients safely mobilize eg in or out of bed.
The base is non-slip material to avoid accidental movement and is padded.
Inside there are two faced nylon discs that reduce friction to a minimum and spin the disc with minimal effort.

You must not overlook the point that there are 2 types of courses - the usual two-year course and the one year MBA degree. Read onward for MBA course details and a brief illustration of a one-year full-time MBA in our country with our 1-year part-time PGDM program & also the brief about the MBA.
The greatest benefit of 1 year MBA course is that it includes the same curriculum with the same intensity and comprehensiveness as a traditional 2 year MBA degree. There is no notable difference in the quality between a one-year full-time MBA in India & 1-year degree.
The typical 1-year full-time MBA degree is divided over 2 years. The 1-year PGDM course, as the name implies, lets you get the eligibility in a span of just 12 to 15 months. For an accomplished individual who can't afford to have a long break from her or his job, the latter choice is obviously a better one. The one-year degree is reduced by virtue of the fact that it could be accomplished in a shorter time.
The part-time 1-year MBA in India is fitting for students who want to complete the studies before entering the market or someone who wants to learn management for their job purpose after getting one. Until the 1 year MBA program was started, even experienced persons had no choice but to take a 2-year break from the jobs. Today, people with 4 to 5 years of exposure can obtain a Master degree by opting for our short time course.
The 1-year course offers more value mainly because it uses a practical & applied way. The experience of managing in an organization for a few years would help you understand the concepts and its indications in a much better manner.

The Red Arrows are an RAF (Royal Air Force) UK airplane stunt team. As a young boy, my bedroom walls were covered in posters and pictures of the red Arrows and my biggest dream was to be a Red Arrows pilot. I must have seen their aerobatic stunts 50 times and I'm never left with anything but astonishment at the amount of skill that must be involved. Sadly, yesterday, whilst performing at an airshow in Bournemouth, a Red Arrow jet plane crashed into the ground. Police have confirmed that 33 year old Red Arrow Flight lieutenant Jon Egging died in the accident.
'A gifted aviator, he was chosen to fly in the Red 4 slot, on the right hand outside of the famous diamond nine formation – an accolade in itself being the most demanding position allocated to a first year pilot.
'Throughout his winter training and the display season to date, his professionalism, skill and humility have shone through.

My son is 4 years 4 months. Within 1 year and 4 months he has been bullied twice. Or rather he felt attacked, and scared, and my interpretation of the events was 'being bullied'. But young kids do not think and act in the same way as adults do. A toddler that acts out is not a bully. He or she is struggling with something and at the other end your kid is also struggling with how to react and how to make sense of it all.
Erik was about 3 1/2 years old and he had started attending a playschool about half a year earlier. For many days, for about a period of one month, he would complain that 'Mohammad hits me'. They would usually argue about toys and who gets what. My response was 'Say NO, STOP, and if this doesn't work talk to your teacher'. As you can see, my approach did not work, this thing kept going for a while. One day we were discussing about it over dinner, and granddad said 'He needs to hit back'. Apparently Erik overheard the conversation cause two days later he told me him and Mohammad are now friends. 'What happened?' I asked. 'I hit him back'. He didn't say anything more or anything less. To this day, Mohammad is his best friend at school. I guess one would say that if we look it down at the level of primal insticts he gained his respect?
New school year, and Erik complains about Niclas who hits him. This time it sounded more serious, as he started refusing going to school. So I talked to his main teacher. She was surprised, as she knew very well both my son and the other boy, and she suggested that the other boy might simply want to play with my son and is acting out as a response to the rejection. They would keep a close eye on them for a week. In the meantime, I told Erik what his teacher thinks, and that he shouldn't feel afraid, they will be watching both of them. He didn't comment. But before the week was finished, Erik, Niclas and Mohammad had formed a group and played together. Erik accepted him, and the boy stopped attacking him as he was no longer emotionally hurt.
The reason why I wanted to share this with you is because many will or are facing similar issues, and their minds might drift to more serious interpretations such as domestic violence, thinking that kids copy what they see, or simply get angry with the kid that 'bullies' theirs and label him/her as a 'bad' one. Kids' brains are still very immature, they live in the 'now', they act and react on whatever they feel or experience in the moment. A negative stimuli, external or internal, may cause a complete meltdown. Picture your little one feeling tired, or hungry. Same thing happens when they try to figure out more complex stuff such as forming relationships, playing with others, learn self-control. At the same time, I was amazed to see how kids can solve problems so smoothly, and in very simple ways. How a hug, or just standing their ground and hitting back, fixed an escalating situation. It is fascinating how they move forward and forget what bothered them so much, as if it never happened. Sometimes I wonder who learns more through this parenting journey. Them, or us?

Fortunately for restaurateurs, with great art, theater and cinema, also comes the demand exceptional cuisine. That's why it comes as no surprise that when Brad Kilgore, Food & Wine Magazine's 2016 Best New Chef in America, was offered the role of culinary director for the Miami's premier performing arts center, at the peak of his career, he jumped at the opportunity.
Now nearly a year after being handed the reigns, Chef Kilgore has reinvented BRAVA into a culinary experience that prides itself on presenting dishes that are as tasty as they are beautiful, thoughtfully created using high-quality and locally sourced ingredients.
We recently sat down with the 2016 James Beard Award semifinalist to chat about what inspired some of the dishes on BRAVA's new menu, as well as what he thinks is in store for the future of Miami's restaurant scene.
Foodable: BRAVA By Brad Kilgore is located right in the heart of Miami's cultural district — literally housed inside the city's preeminent performing arts center. What about this concept made you excited to take on this opportunity?
BK: Having the opportunity to be the culinary director inside one of the city's premier operations was a huge compliment. The building is designed around the arts, this was and is very exciting for me, as that's how I like to approach our dish presentations.
Foodable: For anyone who hasn't experienced BRAVA in the last year, what new things can be expected?
BK: I took inspiration from the type of shows that are produced in the Adrienne Arsht Center. For example, when you go to see the Nutcracker, it's not the original version of the play, it's the Directors' version of it. So, you will see dishes that read familiar but with a nouveau touch and a clean presentation. We use the term "Classics Redefined," I take inspiration from classic dishes and reinvent them.
Foodable: How have you married your own personal style as a chef with the flavors of Miami throughout the menu at BRAVA?
BK: I really enjoy taking flavors from all over the world to create new combinations and experiences. One thing I love about being a chef in Miami is that you can be bold with your flavors like the use of spicy, acid, and spices.
Foodble: Do you have a favorite dish on the menu?
BK: It's really hard to choose but the Foie Gras Snickers is a really cool dish to share for the table. If you are not into sharing, then don't miss the Raviolo.
Foodbale: A large portion of our readers at Foodable are culinary execs and restauranteurs. How would you say a restaurant rebranding differs from building something from the ground up?
BK: You have to show respect to any of the previous clientele, and not go into the space with your nose in the air. Learn and get to know the clientele and show them why your new ideas work for them.
Foodable: What advice would you give to a new restauranteur?
BK: Plan ahead, be willing to adjust to your clients' needs. Listen to them and if you are a chef, have a presence in the dining room as well.
Foodable: From earning multiple accolades to being named Best New Chef in America by Food & Wine Magazine, to say your resume is impressive would definitely be an understatement. What do you attribute your success to?
BK: Hard work and a passionate dedication to creating inventive — and most importantly — delicious food. Miami is a blessing because it is such a melting pot where I can pull flavors from anywhere to inspire my dishes.
Foodable: Miami is still sort of an underdog compared to cities like L.A. and New York when it comes to its culinary scene. What makes you excited to be working in Miami right now, and where do you see Miami's foodie scene going in the next 5 years?
BK: The culinary scene is booming here and it's an honor to be a part of it. The diners are excited and adventurous — this allows a creative chef to really go for it. More and more independent restauranteurs and chefs are making their mark in the city. Miami has grown past South Beach and great spots are opening all over the city. I would like to see more home-grown independent chefs come up the ranks and open awesome neighborhood spots all over town.

Do Arsenal really need to sign this winger?
Date: 20th July 2011 at 4:09pm
Arsenal have been constantly linked with a move for Southampton's teenage sensation Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. The winger had an exclusive interview with The Mirror and he said that he is ready to move to the Premier League now after having a successful season with the Saints.
Alex said, "I just feel that I am ready to play in the Premier League. I think I can take a lot of encouragement and confidence from what Theo – and Gareth Bale at Spurs – have done.
"When you look at a player like Jack Wilshere at Arsenal, he was only a year above me in the academies.
"He played in a tournament that I was in as a youngster and even then you could see he was going to be unbelievable.
"The same as Gareth and Theo, and with the other players my age that have made the step up, like Wayne Rooney and Phil Jones. There's no barrier on the age you have to be to play in the Premier League. If you're good enough, you're old enough. Hopefully I'll get the opportunity to prove that."
The winger may feel he is ready for the Premier League but at Arsenal ready for him? We already have Walcott so why do we need another player identical to him? There is no doubt that he is one of the finest young talents in the country but have we not got enough young talents already at Arsenal?
I believe it is time we stop for a second and start to buy some ready made players. Alex has not even kicked a ball in the Premier League; we could go and spend millions signing him but then he does not make it. What is your take on this?

Song gooner says:
I say lets get em… this guy is gonna be even bigger than walcott! he already has few things more than theo (technique, body balance, shooting).. plus theo's improvement has been really disappointment! compare that to 10 goals and 15 assists for a 17 years old alex and ull know what I am talking about..
Jalal says:
Yes let him be a gooner, he can be helfable in the team
jackson lubago says:
I think arsenal should buy that player maybe he can pose great challenge to theo, because theo's performance has dropped recently.
TrueWisdom says:
No we shouldn't be nurturing young talents. Getting some trophies and winning the hearts of the fans should be Arsenal's top priority. We need players that are good NOW, not players like Fabregas who become good and then want to leave.
Donnie says:
theo's performance has dropped recently. ????
dont you mean theos performaces have been getting better and better.
he would be good on the right second choice beehind theo.
but we have to sell eboue
we need 2 sell players befor we being them in not becouse of the money
no point having a 4th choise player getting paid 50k a week and not playing.
Arsenal1Again says:
He's not going to be as good as either Rosicky or Nasri. I think if we bought him, it would be as a striker and stand in Winger. We know how Wenger likes to start off strikers on the wing. We have plenty of money to buy him. We've spent a total of 4 Million so far and only have Jenkinson and Gervinho – Clichy going the other way and paying for 7 million of the 11 million spent so far. If Cesc goes, I can see Ribery coming in and a Centre-half as promised.
tedski says:
Truewisdom, players who are good NOW usually turn bad when they move. Torres was good and he did really well after moving for big money. We can't have a new player misfiring for half a season or more and still win the league.
Come guys thats just another bentley.I think we need experienced players not boys. He is even over valued £10 m 4 a boy thats ridiculous.
Bufty says:
He's a good player no doubt.Bt i dont think AW is ready 2 spend big on a player dat wud stil be sitting on d bench
Peter jorams says:
Yes we r the moulders let him come
With nasri clowning around and both Arshavin & Rosicky approaching the wrong side of 30, i say we bring this kid in because he is gonna be a hell of a player.
Another winger wouldn't hurt and for how talented he is be can use him.
i think we should buy him to chalenge walcot because he did not meet my expectation
Donnyfan1 says:
He has played wide and, although very quick, his dad says he will become an excellent CM. His dad was an Eng. Int. so he should know.
My problem with this player is that he is way too expensive for a 17 year old. Max, 5 million, No more
ngo22 says:
his dad isnt going to say that hes shit is he?
I think we need him as a winger to challenge Walcott etc. personally i think that only nasri and Walcott are any good as wide players for us so we need help there. Get rid of rosicky and Eboue promote Lansbury and get in Mata and this kid, He will be a very good player and i know this isn't the most important part, as his ability is all that matters and on that alone we should get him, but he is English and likes the club which is an added bonus.
Akin says:
Yes let the boy be a gunner

Jan Antonin Kozeluch was born in Velvary, Bohemia (now the Czech Republic) on 26th June 1747 but adopted the name "Leopold" to distinguish himself from his cousin, the Kapellmeister in Prague. Kozeluch studied law while
studying music privately with his cousin and with Frantisek Dusek (1731 –
1799). From 1771, Kozeluch began composing music for ballet and even pantomimes, which were particularly successful. He moved to Vienna to further his career as a pianist, teacher and composer (both sacred and secular). In 1792, at the peak of his career, Kozeluch accepted the appointment of Imperial Chamber Conductor
and Court Composer. While fulfilling his duties to the Court, Kozeluch experimented with genre and form, even arranging Welsh, Irish and Scottish folk songs.
Kozeluch was highly regarded for his role in the development and promotion of the piano. Since his death in Vienna on 7th May 1818, this achievement has been overshadowed
by those of Ludwig van Beethoven.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756 – 1791) was an unrivalled child prodigy who was devoted entirely to music from the age of 4. He was the only surviving
son of his proud and demanding father who took his son (and daughter) on tour around Europe so that the 6 year-old Mozart could dazzle audiences. By the age
of 20, Mozart had composed numerous operas, violin and piano concerts, at least 30 symphonies and many solo works. Although he had already established a high
profile in Europe during his youth, Mozart found real creative freedom and true celebrity status in Vienna.
In his last year, Mozart – the great composer of the classical era, earned the equivalent of 80,000 U.S. dollars, including his fee for his Requiem, which
lay unfinished at his death.
Mozart and Kozeluch first met through Princess Elisabeth of Wurttenberg, who had invited Mozart to instruct her. She later became a pupil of Kozeluch. Marie
Therese von Paradis was also a pupil of Kozeluch, who commissioned Mozart to write a piano concerto for her tour to Paris. The result was the Piano Concerto
No. 18 in B flat, K456 – something that may have sparked a rivalry between the two composers.
It is rumoured that they had become friends at a coronation ceremony in Prague, but Mozart claimed that Kozeluch continually followed him around Prague with
petty jealousy and later, requested his contemporary's name not to be mentioned in his biography.
Beethoven described Kozeluch as "miserablis" and Haydn didn't much care for Kozeluch having heard the composer crtiticising some of his work.
One particular incident of note happened at a performance of a new quartet by Haydn. It is said that Kozeluch turned to Mozart to denigrate various aspects
of the Haydn composition and exclaimed "he (Kozeluch) would never had done it that way". Mozart responded "nor should I, but do you know
why? Because neither your nor I would have had so good an idea."
Nevertheless, the popularity of both composers is evident. Kozeluch received an invitation to succeed Mozart as Court Organist in Salzburg, a position that
he turned down with the remark "What deters me most is the Mozart affair. If the archbishop should let such a man go, would he not do worse to me?"
Not only did their paths cross through performing and composing, but they also met through publishing circles. Kozeluch established his own publishing firm
called Musikalisches Magazin in 1784 and made several of Mozart's works available. He was able to cash in on the popularity of Mozart's opera,
Die Zauberflote while at the same time, offering his own compositions for sale.
Kozeluch's piano concertos and symphonies are typical of the Viennese Classical style, although his later piano and chamber works hint at
Romantic lyricism. This Concerto in D major was composed for his pupil, Marie Therese von Paradis (1759 – 1824), who was a successful pianist of the
time and was blind from birth. It is composed in three movements and Kozeluch employs arpeggios and trills to decorate the piano part, which suggests that
it may have been written for either harpsichord or the piano. Kozeluch particularly favoured the latter, spending much of his career promoting the piano over the
harpsichord.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart – Piano Concerto No. 21 in C major K. 467
Mozart composed this concerto in less than a month. Dated 1785,it is notoriously one of the most demanding concertos ever written, yet hailed by
musicologists as the "definitive" piano concerto from the Classical era.
Mozart had a continuous desire to explore all the sonorities of the piano, particularly the dynamic range and sustenance of the instrument as it was being
developed. The beautiful and pure lyricism of the popular second movement Andante illustrates Mozart's profound gift at writing for his favourite instrument.
It was this movement that became known as the "Elvira Madigan" when it featured in the Swedish Film of the same title by Bo Widerberg, dated 1967.
The film was accepted widely and tells of a Swedish officer who is married with two children, but decides to abandon his family and run away to join the circus.


Quick Bud is a nice combination of Big Bud, Skunk and a Lowryder #2. The result is a stable autoflowering cannabis variety with an old skool high and a very high yield.
Big Bud is known for her gigantic harvests and a great flower/leaf ratio. The Skunk is a cannabis variety loved for her great stability and is therefore often used in hybrids. To this mix of characteristics the autoflowering characteristic of the Lowryder #2 has been added, with the Quick Bud as a pleasantly surprising result.
The large and compact buds of the Quick Bud don't create much leaves, so after the harvest there is not a whole lot to cut and sort. Let the buds dry for at least 2 weeks and the Quick Bud will reward you with a taste and effect which will blow you away.
Quick Bud is 100% autoflowering and will complete her life cycle in 65 - 70 days. From seed to harvest!

Amazon will buy Target this year, analyst predicts
By News Services |
PUBLISHED: January 2, 2018 at 6:17 pm | UPDATED: January 3, 2018 at 11:15 am
Amazon.com's shakeup of the retail landscape may not be over, according to one well-known technology analyst.
The internet giant will acquire Minneapolis-based Target Corp., Loup Venture co-founder Gene Munster wrote in a report highlighting eight predictions for the technology industry in 2018. Amazon made waves in retailing last year with its $13.7 billion purchase of Whole Foods Market.
"Target is the ideal offline partner for Amazon for two reasons, shared demographic and manageable but comprehensive store count," Munster wrote, noting both companies focus on mothers and families. "Getting the timing on this is difficult, but seeing the value of the combination is easy."
Market-share numbers suggest a deal would be approved by regulators, and rival Walmart would still have a larger share than an Amazon-Target combination, Munster said. He estimated a take-out valuation of $41 billion, or a 15 percent premium to Target's current value. Target shares rose nearfly 3.7 percent Tuesday.
Munster co-founded Loup Ventures, a venture capital firm focused on virtual reality and artificial intelligence, in early 2017. Before that, he'd worked for 21 years as an analyst at Piper Jaffray Cos., where he was known for his accuracy in predicting Apple Inc.'s financial potential.
Still, Amazon may not just be interested in retail deals. Last month, CFRA bank analyst Ken Leon wrote that he foresees the internet company buying a small- or mid-sized bank in 2018.

REGIONAL FACTORY GROWTH INDEX RISES
A business conditions index for nine Midwest and Plains states, including Minnesota, rose over the past month, pointing to continuing improvement in regional economic conditions, an economist said in a report released Tuesday.
The Mid-America Business Conditions Index climbed to 59.0 from 57.2 in November, the report said. The October figure was 58.8. Any reading above 50 signifies coming growth.
The regional wholesale inflation gauge cooled to a still strong 71.3 from November's 71.4, reflecting the regional inflationary pressures.
Minnesota's portion of the index fslipped to 56.8 from November's 57.8.
REPORT: PLAYBOY MAY KILL PRINT MAGAZINE
Newsstands soon could be stripped of one of the nation's most iconic publications: Playboy magazine.
Playboy Enterprises Inc. reportedly is considering killing the print magazine, which was started more than six decades ago by Hugh Hefner, who died in September.
Hefner's death has triggered a process that will shift ownership of the company from his family to the largest shareholder, private equity firm Rizvi Traverse, the Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday.
Ben Kohn, a managing partner at Rizvi who is Playboy Enterprises' chief executive, wants to shift the company's emphasis to brand partnerships and licensing deals.
MCD'S TESTING MORE FRESH-BEEF OFFERINGS
McDonald's is testing the use of fresh beef in another burger, the latest move by the fast food chain to swap out frozen beef as it seeks to improve its image.
The company said Tuesday that the new burger, called Archburger, is being tested in seven McDonald's restaurants in Tulsa, Okla. McDonald's held similar tests for fresh beef Quarter Pounders for about a year before announcing in March that it would roll it out to most of its 14,000 restaurants by the middle of this year. McDonald's said the latest test is limited, and it is seeking feedback from customers and its restaurants.
MONEYGRAM, ANT KILL OFF PLANNED MERGER
Money transfer firm MoneyGram International Inc. and Chinese financial-technology firm Ant Financial Services Group said Tuesday they were calling off a planned merger after failing to get the blessing of American regulatory officials.
The two companies said in a joint statement that they had been unable to secure approval from Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S., or CFIUS, "despite extensive efforts to address the Committee's concerns."
MoneyGram, based in Dallas, has operations in the Twin Cities area.
LAW FIRMS COMPLETE MERGER
Law firms Ballard Spahr and Minneapolis-based Lindquist & Vennum have completed their merger. The combined firm — which retains the name Ballard Spahr — has more than 650 lawyers in 15 offices across the United States. The merged firm is based in Philadelphia but retains its Twin Cities presence.
MINNEAPOLIS — Prince's estate has dismissed wrongful-death claims against Walgreens pharmacy and a doctor who had prescribed pain medications for the musician before he died of an accidental overdose of fentanyl nearly four years ago.
A Forest Lake restaurant owner and a Forest Lake law firm say a competitor and former client posed as a customer and a contractor and wrote negative online reviews, likely scaring off potential business.
