Annie was devastated when she came to know about the terrible disease Teddy is suffering from. For three continuous years, her family was engaged in an extensive search for a pet dog for Annie. Finally, they found this two year old shaggy dog, rescued from a high kill shelter in Houston. Soon after this, following a veterinarian check up, Annie found out that Teddy is suffering from heartworm disease.
This is a potentially fatal disease for dogs caused by parasitic roundworms known as Dirofilaria immitis. Mosquitoes act as carriers for the disease. With dogs being natural hosts, the entire life cycle of this pathogenic worm is completed in a dog's body. In its adult from, the worm resides in a dog's heart giving it the name of "heartworm". Apart from the dogs, it also affects cats and ferrets.
Heartworm affected dogs start showing signs of fatigue only after moderate levels of activity and suffer from occasional coughs. But these symptoms start showing up at quite an advanced stage of the infection. In severe cases vital organs, including lungs and heart, become completely choked by adult worms. However, the disease itself is not contagious, that is, transference never occurs from one dog to another.
How are the Dogs Treated for the Disease?
Once the blood tests reveal that the dog is affected by heartworm infection, it is administered with one of the two available drugs approved by U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Both drugs contain arsenic that is considered effective in killing off the adult worms. But treatment with arsenic has its own complications and often problems arise during this phase requiring frequent and sometimes lengthy hospitalizations of the pet.
In advanced stages, when worms start creating severe congestion in vital organs, surgery might prove to be the only way out. But here too the rate of success in terms of complete recovery of the dogs remains abysmally low. The cost of treatment often creates huge financial burden on the owners which sometimes prevent them from seeking proper medical assistance.
As Annie found out through her experience and research about the disease, medical costs run well over USD 2000 in the cases of larger dogs suffering from heartworm disease. Luckily for Annie, timely detection of the disease and her as well as her family's efforts paid off and Teddy recovered completely.
What is Annie's Role in this?
Realizing how difficult it is for individual dog owners to spend so heavily in the treatment of their pets, Annie introduced a novel concept to help out those seeking support in aiding dogs in distress. She uses her painting skills to create artworks for everyone to view, appreciate and own. The proceedings, earned through this method, are forwarded to a number of rescue groups caring for dogs suffering from heartworm infection.
Animal welfare nonprofit organization Wags 4 Hope (http://wags4hope.org/), initiated by Annie in 2012 when she was only in her eighth grade, works with dog shelters who take active interest in this matter. Annie not only limits herself to painting and sharing them with fellow animal lovers and collectors, but also involves herself in various other activities to create awareness about the issue. She teaches children about how to care for their pets and, more importantly, how to successfully prevent the occurrence of this deadly disease.
Besides writing about the issue in such online magazines as The Dodo, Annie also organizes regular fundraising events and community programs to support the cause. This grant of USD 100 is going to help her buy more articles like canvases, paintbrushes, pigments and so on for her paintings. With the help of these she will be able to create more artworks and fulfill custom orders in support of the cause. The funds will provide financial assistance to Shaggy Dog Rescue (http://houstonshaggydogrescue.org/), LA Animal Service (http://www.laanimalservices.com/) and Peace and Paws (http://peaceandpaws.org/site/). These organizations are working hard to look after the medical needs of the dogs.
We often speak of dogs being our best friend. Perhaps, it is time for us to pay back the compliment. We can do so by generously supporting (http://startasnowball.com/donate/) the works of Wags 4 Hope, spearheaded by Annie Blumenfeld. Young though she is, yet Annie taught us an important lesson about caring for those whose loyalty we often take for granted. She also proved that age is no bar in initiating projects that supports worthy causes in effective ways.
Moreover, children who find themselves inspired by Annie's story and have such projects in mind that may help address various social, environmental and other concerns, can seek a grant here (http://startasnowball.com/philanthropic-grant-for-kids/) to help them carry out the programs.


In late June 1982, I worked my first shift on the Wichita Fire Department. On February 12th, 2016 I made my last alarm on the Wichita Fire Department. What these two things have in common is, they both occurred at Station 5. My first fire, my first medical alarm, the first time I saw death up close. All experiences that helped had an impact on the person I am today.
As I spent my last few hours there, all the memories of good times and good guys, came flooding over me. I guess your first station is a little like your first love - nothing else is ever quite like it.

Though I have tried to warm to cauliflower recently, it hasn't yet won over my entire heart. But I have persistently continued my efforts as if there's one thing I've learnt from my Sister and her methods with my crazy fussy Niece and Nephew it is that everything should be tried at least five times before writing them off. So after vanilla-infused cauliflower soup and that classic-for-absolutely-no-reason summer soup I still have three more gos to go. This time I can honestly say I liked it.
The cauliflower challenge seemed like the perfect excuse to try a couscous this trendy Tel Aviv beach-side restaurant launched some years ago. They had replaced couscous with cauliflower which is so much more for those carb-avoiding hipsters, daahhhhhling. As a result this dish is gluten-free AND has no carbs AND raw food AND suitable for vegans. In your face, Gwyneth Paltrow!
Apart from that this is a very classic take on tabbouleh. First thing I learnt when I started travelling in Middle East was that parsley was not just tired branch decorating that equally tired-looking steak served every single petrol station from Helsinki to Hanoi. It is not the token second from the left extra dreaming of a speaking part - very often it is the true star of the production. It is a key ingredient in many of those salads I've fallen in love with on my travels and local markets sell it in bunches as big as my head. It is especially crucial in tabbouleh which, at its simplest is just couscous, lemon juice, loads of mind and even more loads of parsley. Often it is also accompanied with cucumber and tomatos chopped into small cubes. In stead of (or in addition) to tomatos watermelon, chopped into small cubes would work too. Watermelon and mint - they love each other.
The final product is incredibly fresh and summery salad which is as great at picnic tables and meze dinners as it is accompanying köftes, pinchitos or grilled merguez sausages - perhaps with tzatziki, harissa yoghurt or muhammara.
This is a true Middle Eastern staple but has become a favourite the world over. About ten years a I learnt even in France it had climbed into top 3 of nation's favourite foods.
Obviously you could make this out of couscous - in that case cook 2 - 3 desilitres according to the instructions on the packet.
I used the stems of spring onions, but you can use regular onions finely chopped. Especially in the winter when they tend to be a bit leathery and bitter you might want to sauté them first of sweat them in a sieve sprinkled with salt and sugar for about 15 minutes before adding to the salad.
As a light lunch this is enough for 4-6. As a side or part of a meze selection this feeds upto 12.
Trim the woody stalks off the cauliflower - this recipe only calls for the florets. Grate them over a bowl. Chop the herbs and add into the cauliflower. Split the cucumber in half, scoop out the seeds with a teaspoon and chop into small cubes. Halve tomatos, remove the hard cores, remove the seeds and chop into small cubes. Mix olive oil with lemon juice and mix with the rest of the ingredients. Cut the pomegranate into two, pop out the seeds and scatter them on top of the salad. Season as needed and serve.

Will Nathan Fillion's Green Lantern Run Rings Around Ryan Reynolds'?
Ryan Reynolds may be the big screen's Hal Jordan, but he's not the only actor who'll be reciting Green Lantern's oath this summer.
"Castle" star (and major comic book fanboy) Nathan Fillion gets his own green glow on by voicing the ring-slinging superhero in "Green Lantern: Emerald Knights," a DC Universe animated film coming to DVD and Blu-ray on June 7 in anticipation of the feature film's release. And after spending his childhood prepping for the role, he couldn't be happier to put a ring on it.
The actor, who's previously given voice to Wonder Woman's beau Steve Trevor and the Golden Age crimebuster The Vigilante for other animated projects in the DC Universe, says his childhood groomed him to play powerful protectors.


Heating Bill On the Rise? Have Your Attic Insulation Checked! | Jerry's Insulating Co.
This article is getting as relevant as ever with the winter practically at our doorstep. It is not very cold yet, but you know that when it kicks in – it will kick hard. One of the things every homeowner knows winter will bring, is the heating bill.
You know it and we know it, no matter how much you pump up the heating, when your insulation is not in the best shape, some (if not most) of that precious heat is going to escape. So what do you do when you are cold? Just like you need to have a warm coat and hat when you step outside, so does your house need nice and fuzzy insulation for the walls and attic.
This is something that many homeowners somehow forget about, concentrating on their walls and basements. But try to leave the house without your hat on, and you will understand immediately how important it is so be insulated up there as well!
One of the beautiful things about good insulation is that it is cost-effective, and a one-time fix. You take care of it now, and enjoy 10 – 15 years of warm and snug winters, as well as a reduced electricity bill.
In addition, unlike heating systems, it does not "work". It serves by simply being there, requiring no repairs or maintenance at all. As a final bonus, it also acts as a sound barrier, providing additional protection from unwanted street or road noises.
Question Number One – Where is your Heat Leak?
As we mentioned above, many people tend to focus on walls, windows and doors, while forgetting that hot air naturally rises up. If your attic is not properly insulated, heat will escape from there in happy glee, warming up the winter air above your rooftop. The attic itself does not need to be very hot, so it is in fact the attic floor that needs to be fluffed up to make your upper floor's ceiling more cold-resistant.
To give you an idea of how efficient this is – from what we've seen in the years we've been in this business – proper insulation of your attic can reduce your energy consumption by 20% to 60%. The average 40% can translate to hundreds of dollars a year, not to mention the discomfort of having to constantly worry about it.
Question Number Two – How Much Insulation is Needed?
Inspect your attic's insulation and measure how much of it is there at the moment. Current building code recommends insulating your attic space to R-50, which is equivalent to approximately 18 inches of insulation. So, if you have considerably less than that, it may be time for a top up!
Question Number Three – What Material is your Insulation Made Of?
This also has to do with insulation quality, but it pertains first and foremost to your safety. If your insulation if made of Vermiculite, there is a chance that it contains asbestos. This is a risk most often encountered in older homes, constructed before the time when asbestos was found to contain carcinogens and was banned from use in construction. Its removal is not necessary if you wish to just add insulation on top. Current insulation however, no longer poses a health risk, as it is not only free of asbestos (of course), but it is also formaldehyde free.
If you need insulation work done on your Toronto home, Jerry's Insulating professionals are here for you!

"Toyota Spotlights Technology-Driven Futu..."
Toyota Spotlights Technology-Driven Future of Mobility at the 2018 Consumer Electronics Show
AI, connected and electric vehicle technologies combine to support mobility for all
e-Palette concept vehicle will power a new mobility services ecosystem for business
Concept-i Series provides personal mobility that responds to the needs of its users
TRI Platform 3.0 automated driving research vehicle makes a leap forward in perception technology
Fine-Comfort Ride FCV showcases unique design in zero-emissions vehicle
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 9, 2018 – Toyota is bringing to life its vision for the future of mobility at this year's Consumer Electronics Show, displaying a range of concept vehicles and technologies that demonstrate the potential of automated driving, connected networks and vehicle electrification, including:
A highly customizable, automated, battery electric vehicle flexible enough to handle logistics and delivery, ride sharing and retail;
The growing Concept-i series of vehicles that offer responsive mobility opportunities for everyone;
An automated driving test vehicle with technology that can detect potential hazards at even greater distances; and
A fuel cell vehicle designed for comfort and minimal environmental impact.
"At Toyota, our mission isn't just to make vehicles that people love, but to help provide mobility for all through technology-powered products and services," said Zack Hicks, senior vice president and chief information officer of Toyota Motor North America and chief executive officer and president of Toyota Connected. "Our vision harnesses the benefits of artificial intelligence and predictive analytics, connected networks, and electric vehicle technologies to get people where they want to go safely, conveniently and in an environmentally friendly way – whether across the room or across the country."
e-Palette Concept
The e-Palette concept vehicle is a fully-automated, next generation battery electric vehicle (BEV) designed to support a range of Mobility as a Service (MaaS) offerings. Created as part of a new mobility service business partnership, the e-Palette Alliance, the concept vehicle provides an open interior design layout that is scalable and customizable for various uses — including logistics services, ride sharing, and other on-the-road e-commerce. Its open-source vehicle control interface will allow partner companies to install their own automated driving system and vehicle management technology. When a partner company's automated driving system is installed, Toyota's Guardian mode automated driving technology will supervise its function to help ensure appropriate function.
Expanded Concept-i Series: Concept-i, i-Ride and i-Walk
The "Toyota Concept-i Series" embodies Toyota's vision of a future where artificial intelligence (AI) enables personal mobility that is more responsive to the needs of its users by recognizing emotions, anticipating preferences, and allowing people and cars to become partners. First unveiled as the Concept-i vehicle at CES 2017, Toyota expanded the Concept-i Series to include a universal small mobility vehicle and a walking area mobility vehicle. The AI Agent embedded in each of these vehicles is able to disengage and re-engage with the driver, thereby supporting seamless mobility that is better equipped to achieve safe and fun mobility.
Toyota Concept-i
The Toyota Concept-i is a four-wheel model representing the vision and technology of the Toyota Concept-i Series. It combines AI technology that understands people ("LEARN") with automated driving and agent technology that provides drivers with safety and peace of mind ("PROTECT") and new Fun to Drive experiences ("INSPIRE") that enrich the enjoyment of moving.
Toyota Concept-i Simulator
Visitors will be able to experience a significantly more advanced Concept-i simulator than at last year's CES. Through the simulator, visitors will be able to interact with the AI Agent, which will propose hobbies and restaurants based on the user's preference. The Agent will gauge the user's degree of interest based on the conversation and driver's emotion, and recommend activities based on this judgment.
Toyota Concept-i RIDE
The Concept-i RIDE is a small mobility vehicle designed to deliver "user-friendly city mobility." While the seat layout and automated driving functions make it possible for anyone to drive safely and securely, its gull-wing doors, electric universal sliding seat, and joystick offer particularly user-friendly operation for wheelchair users.
Toyota Concept-i WALK
With its compact size, the i-WALK can operate safely on sidewalks and other areas alongside pedestrians. Equipped with an easily operated steering function as well as an automated driving capability, this mobility vehicle helps increase the user's range of movement with safety and peace of mind. And, with its lowered floor, people can ride without being restricted by their age or health issues. Toyota's vision for the i-WALK is to help users traverse short distances, such as walking around sightseeing locations.
TRI Platform 3.0
Toyota Research Institute's (TRI) next-generation automated driving research vehicle, Platform 3.0, combines more sophisticated automated driving technology and new harmonized styling into the Lexus LS model's design. Its sensor-rich package makes it one of the most perceptive automated test cars on the road. The vehicle includes a powerful LIDAR architecture strategically positioned for a sensing range of up to 200 meters around the 360-degree perimeter of the vehicle, giving the automated driving systems more time to react to potentially hazardous scenarios. Toyota is demonstrating the power of Platform 3.0's perception system at CES 2018 with a real-time display of the point cloud generated by the vehicle's LIDAR system.
Fine-Comfort Ride
Toyota's "Fine-Comfort Ride" is a fuel cell vehicle (FCV) that envisions mobility in a low-carbon society through the advanced utilization of hydrogen and renewable energy. This FCV features a flexible layout unique to electric-powered vehicles and utilizes hydrogen as an energy source to generate a large amount of electric power. The Fine-Comfort Ride discharges no CO2 or substances of concern (SoC)
while offering a generous cruising range and a hydrogen refueling time of about three minutes.
2018 Toyota Motor North America CES Press Conference Release
Toyota (NYSE:TM) has been a part of the cultural fabric in the U.S. and North America for 60 years, and is committed to advancing sustainable, next-generation mobility through our Toyota and Lexus brands. During that time, Toyota has created a tremendous value chain as our teams have contributed to world-class design, engineering, and assembly of more than 33 million cars and trucks in North America, where we operate 14 manufacturing plants (10 in the U.S.) and directly employ more than 46,000 people (more than 36,000 in the U.S.). Our 1,800 North American dealerships (nearly 1,500 in the U.S.) sold almost 2.7 million cars and trucks (2.45 million in the U.S.) in 2016 – and about 85 percent of all Toyota vehicles sold over the past 15 years are still on the road today.
Toyota partners with community, civic, academic, and governmental organizations to address our society's most pressing mobility challenges. We share company resources and extensive know-how to support non-profits to help expand their ability to assist more people move more places.

The Australian City of Brisbane placed under Lockdown to prevent the spread of mutant COVID strain.
Trendingleo.com January 8, 2021
Women in Brisbane infected with UK COVID mutant had 79 close contacts as well as 689 movements within the community.
No overnight transmission cases were reported with just 9 people testing positive under hotel quarantine.
All non-essential businesses set to shut down.
From Thursday 6:00 pm, Residents of Brisbane, Moreton, Ipswich, Logan, and Redlands shall be mandated to remain home until 6:00 pm Monday 11th January in an attempt to control the spread of the highly-infectious COVID strain from the United Kingdom.
This is as a result of a worker at a Brisbane Hotel testing positive on Wednesday to the COVID mutant after being within the community for five days amid fears that she might have infected more persons.
All persons within those communities have been advised to remain home unless it is for essential duties, essential shopping, providing healthcare services, or exercising within the neighborhood. Mask is also mandatory for those who go out within the mentioned areas with the exception of children under the age of 12.
"This is harsh but necessary action". Said Anastacia Palaszczuk. She urged residents to think of it as a long weekend and that if this was not done now, it could finally result in a 30-day mandatory lockdown. The lockdown in Brisbane comes just after some cases of COVID-19 were reported in additional four more sites in Queensland.
Also Read... Tabloidization
Dr. Jeannette Young, the Chief Health Officer said that the viral cases were reported in wastewater treatment plants around Gibson Island at Townsville, a site in Maryborough, and Oulgul at Hervey Bay. It is reported that supermarkets witnessed long queues just an hour after the announcement, prompting another announcement from the Queensland Health office advising residents not to panic buy.
Persons residing within the lockdown areas shall be allowed a maximum of two visitors per day within their homes and have to come for particular reasons. Dr. Young argued that it would be regrettable if she were to stand before the media on Monday to announce that more cases had been reported and that those cases had infected others within the community. She supported the Lockdown measures as a precautionary move to protect the residents of Brisbane.
There were 9 fresh cases in Queensland overnight after 13, 000 tests were performed, all the cases were from Hotel Quarantine. Approximately 450 tests were performed at a clinic on Brisbane south side where the Hotel worker who tested positive lived and is believed to have interacted with other persons.
689 movements of the hotel worker had been traced while she carried herself within the community for five days unknowingly. The contacts were from Algester, Sunnybank Hills, Brisbane's CBD, and Calamvale.
Also Read... Binyinyet the Village Mystery
Brisbane authorities also identified 79 other close contacts of the hotel worker will all those who were symptomatic tested. Their results will be released today. The Quarantine hotel where the hotel worker worked has also been placed under full lockdown.
Dr. Young also urged residents who had been to the Greater Brisbane area from January 2nd to self-isolate for three days. This also applies to those who have already left the lockdown area on holidays of specific duties.
Within the three-day lockdown, restaurants and cafes are to only serve take away food, Gyms, recreational areas, churches, cinemas shall remain closed. Funerals shall be restricted to only 20 people while weddings will have a maximum of 10 persons. All weekend sporting action has also been called off. Those found not wearing masks shall be fined $200 on the spot.

losing the tails of delay, reverb and loopers.
Connect two effect loops and choose which one you want to hear.
The Servus Dual Loop's most important characteristic is that it doesn't cut off the tails of effects like delays, reverbs and loopers when you switch between two loops. This makes the transition a lot more natural compared to traditonal A/B boxes. The Dual Loop is the perfect live show companion whenever you carry two sets of effects or for A/B comparison. And if you connect a looper to one of the effect loops a whole variety of creative posibilites opens up, giving you the opportunity to keep sounding your looper when changing the loops.
The switching happens without any kind of noise or pop thanks to the usage of hiqh quality components.

Bridgewater s Ray Dalio Shares The Piece Of Advice He Wants To Be His Legacy

Ray Dalio wants to be remembered by his philosophy, not his personal life.
sex Michel Euler/AP
Tuesday, Bridgewater Associates founder Ray Dalio released his first book, "Principles: Life and Work."
He wants his management philosophy to be the cornerstone of his legacy.
He's encouraging everyone to adopt a level of "radical transparency" to build an "idea meritocracy."
Ray Dalio may have created the largest hedge fund in history, Bridgewater Associates, but he wants to be remembered for a philosophy that can be applied to anyone.
Ahead of the launch of his first book, "Principles: Life and Work
," the founder of the hedge fund with $150 billion in total assets under management told Business Insider he hated the notion of building his legacy by curating his reputation, and instead wants to connect it to a "parting gift," which he distilled to: "There are only two things you need to do in order to be successful. And that is, first, to know what the best decisions are to be made, and second, to have the courage to make them."
Dalio stepped away from management at Bridgewater in March
as the culmination of a seven-year transition. And while he remains as co-CIO and plans on forever being involved with his firm's investment decisions, he considered the decision the mark of the third phase of his life. In this phase, he will share with the world the lessons he's learned in his career
"Principles: Life and Work" is the first of two planned books, and includes a short autobiography along with an expanded version of the "Principles" that all Bridgewater employees read when joining the company.
To help employees do this at Bridgewater, Dalio operates according to a principle he calls "radical transparency,"
which helps employees find the truth through creating an idea meritocracy.
"The greatest tragedy in mankind is people holding opinions in their head that are wrong, and they make bad decisions based on these opinions," he said. He's used that belief as a sort of mantra.
To be radically transparent and act on "radical truth," he said, a person must:
"Put your honest thoughts on the table for others to see so that way you can stress test them."
"Learn the art of thoughtful disagreement so that you can take in as well as put out."
"Have idea-meritocratic ways of getting past those disagreements if they remain."
At his TED Talk in April
, Dalio gave a rare inside look at the way Bridgewater implements these ideas through a demo of the firm's proprietary iPad app "Dots." He was able to pull real footage of a meeting, since nearly every meeting at Bridgewater is filmed.
In the presentation, Dalio explained how employees in a meeting are constantly able to rate each other's performance according to various traits, and can see each other's responses in real time. This is meant to keep office politics from growing into actual problems, and new hires are encouraged to be completely candid with the company's leadership.
When it's time to come to a decision in the meeting, Dalio demonstrated, the accumulation of Dots ratings, as well as seniority and position, are factored into "believability-weighted decision making." That is, for example, a hypothetical decision around an investment could pass if two senior researchers vote for it and four new hires vote against it.
Dalio said that he plans on releasing these internal tools to the public at some point in the near future, but that you don't need an app to manifest his philosophy in both your personal life and the office. All you need is a shift in mindset to where you still respect others but don't hold back concerns for political reasons and determine who is best qualified to make decisions.
"If you can do that, you can have really almost anything because talent, knowledge, anything, doesn't have to be within you," Dalio said, noting you can instead call upon others for what you lack. "That's all that's available for you, and if you do that well, you'll make a much better life."

m-toluidine
In summary, m-toluidine is assumed to be absorbed following inhalation, oral, or dermal exposure, readily distributed in the body and metabolized. Accumulation is not expected. Urinary excretion is assumed to be the main elimination route.
In addition, due to the lack of acute dermal toxicity data (sec. exposure route) p-isopropyl aniline was chosen as surrogate to fill the data gap. Both substances have similar physicochemical properties, are aromatic amines revealing equal main intrinsic properties as shown by methemoglobin formation and/or erythrocyte toxicity.
Summary of Justification for Read Across to fill data gaps
m-Toluidine shall be registered according to Art 10 of Regulation EC No. 1907 / 2006 (REACh), for annual production of 100 tonnes (Annex VIII). However, the required toxicological data for information submitted for general registration purposes (Art 10) at this tonnage band are not complete For m-toluidine no reliable data are available for acute dermal toxicity (sec. exposure route).
According to ECHA Document: Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment volume R 6: QSARs and grouping of chemicals (2008) section.2.3 p.: 89 and Practical Guide No. 6 (2012) an accepted method to fill data gaps is by read–across technique. Read across can be performed by different ways. In this case the One-to one approach is chosen. For this approach as analogue molecule p-Isopropyl aniline (CAS-No. 99-88-7) is chosen.
For both substances methemoglobinemia and / or erythrocyte toxicity seems to be the most relevant mechanism for systemic toxicity. Consequently, p-isopropyl aniline and m-toluidine were used as analogue substances in a read-across apporoach to fill the data gaps. This approach is justified because both substances have similar physicochemical properties, are aromatic amines revealing equal main intrinsic properties as shown by methemoglobin formation and/or erythrocyte toxicity.
Summary of Information/assumptions regarding Toxicokinetics, Metabolsim and Distribution
Only limited specific information on toxicokinetic, metabolism or distribution of m-toluidine in animals or in humans is available. Therefore, the following statements on toxicokinetics of m-toluidine are based on the physico-chemical data as well as on the toxicological studies described in the IUCLID database within the REACH process. The criteria outlined in the Reach Guidance on Information Requirements and Chemical Safety Assessment, Chapter R7c. Section R7.12: Guidance on Toxicokinetics, will be applied throughout the statement.
m-Toluidine (3–methyl aniline) is a colourless liquid at room temperature with a molecular mass of 107.16 g/mol. The melting point of m-toluidine is -31°C, the boiling point is about 203 - 204°C at 1013 hPa. The relative density is 0.99 at 25°C and the vapour pressure of m-toluidine is given in IUCLID dataset as 0.2 hPa at 20°C. The log Pow of m-toluidine is 1.4, and the water solubility of m-toluidine is 15000 mg/L at 20°C.
Based on the boiling point of about 203-204 °C and a vapour pressure below 0.5 kPa it can be assumed that vapour inhalation is an unlikely route of exposure. However, the log Pow of 1.4 is in the range that is favorable for absorption after inhalation exposure directly across the respiratory tract epithelium by passive diffusion. There are no studies available using inhalation as exposure route to confirm this assumption. However, according to Reach Guidance on Information Requirements and Chemical Safety Assessment, Chapter R7c. Section R7.12: Guidance on Toxicokinetics, it is likely that the substance will also be absorbed if it is inhaled because there are signs of systemic toxicity present in an oral toxicity study. Respective findings are described in the section below.
The physico-chemical characteristics of m-toluidine (readily soluble in water 15 g/l), log Pow of 1.4 and the molecular mass of 107 g/mol are in a range suggestive of absorption from the gastro-intestinal tract subsequent to oral ingestion, with absorption by passive diffusion as the assumed mechanism. This assumption of an oral absorption is confirmed by acute and sub-acute oral toxicity data. In the acute oral study (rat, LD50 922 mg/kg bw; DuPont De Nemours, 1980a) mortality occurred from 700 mg/kg bw onwards with all animals displaying cyanosis and moderate weight loss. Repeated administration of m-toluidine to rats by gavage in doses up to and including 300 mg/kg bw/day for at least 28 days (Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, MHLW, 1995a) resulted in a LOAEL of 30 mg/kg bw/day based on evidence of hemolytic anemia such as marginal pigment deposit and extra-medullary hematopoiesis in the spleen probably caused by hematotoxicity (methemoglobin formation).
Although no acute dermal study yielding a LD50 value, or no repeated dermal application study is available, dermal absorption can be assumed due to the physico-chemical properties of m-toluidine: log Pow of 1.4 favour dermal absorption particularly because water solubility is high (15 g/l) in addition with the low molecular mass of 107 g/mol. This assumption can be agreed because Senczuk and Rucinska. 1984 (cited in UNEP 2003) reported of dermal absorption after application of m-toluidine to the skin of rats evidenced by determination of up to 40 % methemoglobinemia. Hence, the substance is evaluated as only slightly irritating to the skin (DuPont de Nemours 1980b) and m-toluidine caused no sensitization reactions in the LLNA and no systemic intolerance reactions were reported (Vohr 2009).
Furthermore, methemoglobin formation and consequently systemic availability is observed in different acute studies. UNEP 2003 summarizes:
Major reports of methemoglobin formation are shown in Table 1. A single administration of m-toluidine induces severe methemoglobinemia in rats, cats and dogs. Although species differences in methemoglobin reductase activity in vitro were reported [Stolk et al. 1966: Biochem Pharmacol. 15, 343-351], there is no information on species differences of chemical-induced methemoglobinemia in vivo, including m-toluidine.

DISTRIBUTION and METABOLISM
For m-toluidine as a small molecule with the given water solubility, a wide distribution in the body is expected. Based on the log Pow of 1.4 a distribution into the cells is likely. This assumption is confirmed by the variety of effects shown in the oral repeated dose toxicity study: male and female rats received by gavage doses of up to and including 300 mg/kg bw/day over a period of at least 4 weeks resulting in body weight gain reduction from the first week and macroscopic and microscopic changes in liver, kidney and spleen and in blood chemistry data (MHLW 1995) due to hematotoxicity of m-toluidine.
Based on the negative results in genotoxicity in-vitro tests (MHLW 1995b and 2002: Ames test, and Test for Chromosome aberrations, with and without metabolic activation) it is concluded that DNA reactive metabolites of m-toluidine will most probably not be generated in mammals in the course of hepatic transformation.
Furthermore, Cheever, 1980 (cited by UNEP 2003)investigated urinary excretion and metabolism after single oral administration of 500 mg m-toluidine to rats and reported that only 2.5 % of unchanged compound was recovered from urine and as main metabolites 2-amino-4-methyl-phenol and 4-amio-2-methyl-phenol were identified in the urine after hydrolysis.
In general, substances with log Pow of 3 or less would be unlikely to accumulate in fatty tissue.
On the basis of the molecular structure (Ammonium group), the molecular size and the water solubility excretion into the urine seems to be the main route of elimination. This assumption is supported by the findings of Cheever 1980 identifying 2.5 % m-toluidine in the unchanged form and the metabolites 2-amino-4-methyl-phenol and 4-amino-2-methyl-phenol in rat urine.

SBDC advising helps drive growth for mobile truck repair
December 17, 2019 /in Client Profiles, Growth Management Success /by Cindy Doyl
Grandview—David Ruelas was working in agricultural fields near his home in Sunnyside, following in the footsteps of his parents and older brother, when a door opened and he became an apprentice to a diesel mechanic in Yakima. Within a year, at age 21, he was a lead mechanic at the shop.
The 45-minute drive along I-82 from Sunnyside to Yakima was tiresome, but it gave him time to think, and what he thought was that there was a need for a diesel mechanic in the lower Yakima Valley, especially one who would travel to the truck instead of making the owner deliver the truck to him.
"My idea was to make their life easier," he said, "and my idea worked."
David Ruelas, owner, Fast Mobile Service Truck Repair and Parts
With a $1,000 loan from his mother and the use of his father's credit cards, he bought a truck and started Fast Mobile Service in 2005.
Now named Fast Mobile Service Truck Repair and Parts, his company has grown from one guy and a service truck to three service trucks, 16 employees and a 14,000-sf repair shop and parts store on nine acres at the Port of Grandview that they have just about outgrown. He also owns Fast Driveline Services, a driveline repair shop in Yakima.
It didn't happen all at once and it didn't happen right away.
"I was the kind of kid who would just work and work," he said. For the first seven years, he was working 24/7; whenever a customer called he would go.
In 2011 he began leasing a 5,400 sf shop in Sunnyside, so that he could do maintenance and repair work there, as well as doing roadside repairs and making service calls.
"The thing is, for years I was just working, working, working," he said. Paying bills, sending out invoices, figuring out inventory—all of that happened at night, or when there was no repair work to do, and there was always repair work to do.
The key to grander growth with management assistance
In 2012, David had five employees, including his father and two brothers, when his sister, Fatima, insisted that he hire her full time to manage the office. When he said he couldn't afford to hire her, she replied, "Yes, you can. You'll see."
David Ruelas, owner, Fast Mobile Service Truck Repair and Parts with Fatima
Fatima immediately began implementing business systems to make the office run more smoothly and she's also the one who reached out to the Washington Small Business Development Center when she needed assistance growing the business.
The Washington SBDC is a network of more than 30 advisors working in communities across the state to help small business owners start, grow or buy/sell a business. SBDC business advisors provide no cost, confidential, one-on-one advising to help clients overcome challenges and achieve their goals, whatever those goals may be. The Washington SBDC is hosted by Washington State University which provides administrative oversight of the program in partnership with the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA). The SBDC office in Yakima is co-located with the Yakima County Development Association.
By 2016 Fast Mobile Service had outgrown the shop in Sunnyside and the lease was coming up for renewal, so Fatima made an appointment with Linda Johnson who was the advisor in Yakima at the time. (Johnson retired in 2017 and Sarah Truglio is now the SBDC advisor in Yakima.)
At that first meeting, Fatima told Johnson, "We want to build a shop. This is how much it will cost. Can we afford it?"
Johnson showed Fatima how to set up financial spreadsheets that would allow them see the financial health of their business more clearly. Fatima remembers the meeting where Johnson went through profit and loss statements, monthly cashflow reports, cost of goods, etc.
"Oh my God," Fatima said, "We've never been able to see our finances like this!"
Johnson explained that if they kept doing what they were doing, even without raising sales, they should be able to afford a loan to buy property and build the shop.
"I can't explain to you what that meant to us," Fatima said.
David agrees. "We got really good help," he says. "(The SBDC) is not going to give you money, but they are going to give you advice. Advising is one of the main things we need as a business owner."
With Johnson's help, Fatima put together a business plan and all of the financial documents and projections needed for the loan application. They didn't qualify for a traditional loan, so Johnson suggested they apply for a U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Development-backed loan.
She made her first contact with the USDA in December 2016 and by February 2018 they had moved into their new facility at the Port of Grandview.
For the grand opening, Fatima invited Grandview Mayor Norm Childress and Rep. Dan Newhouse, both of whom came, along with 300 other civic leaders, customers, business colleagues, friends and family.

"I wanted to do it big to show how far we've come," Fatima said.
Opening the shop in Grandview was a big step, she said, but they wouldn't have been successful if they hadn't first gotten business systems in place to accurately track their finances.
Before working with the SBDC David didn't see the point of creating financial spreadsheets, but now he runs reports every week, if not every day.
"If you don't run the reports every morning, you might think you are making a lot of money, and you aren't," David says. "Now, we have better systems."
Everyone contributes to the success of the business, David says, but Fatima's role has been key. "Hiring Fatima was the best decision I've ever made," he said.
A team effort
Clemente, the oldest brother who left school at 16 to help support the family is now the head mechanic. David's father, Gerardo, does welding and fabrication for FMS. Alan, the youngest brother, is head of the parts department. Gerardo Jr., the third of five siblings, lives in Seattle and works for Costco. He also consults with David and Fatima on Fasts Mobile Service's expansion plans.
Sharing what they have and taking care of each other, whether a family member or not, seems part of the culture at Fast Mobile Service Truck Repair and Parts.
"I think our main thing is to treat our people right," David said. "Take care of our customers, take care of our employees."

Employee birthdays are celebrated with not just cake, but a catered lunch. They began offering health insurance to all full-time employees five years ago and this year they also started a 401K plan.
"Everyone deserves a better life if they are working for it," he said.
After moving the business to Grandview they were invited to join the Rotary and are now active members. Fatima heads up several events each year and David nearly always says yes when someone calls to ask for support for a youth activity or community event.
"I want to be part of the community that helps people," he said.
The Washington SBDC receives funding support from the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), Washington State University and other institutions of higher education and economic development.

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) Georgia Tech players hopped happily, hugged each other and danced in place. The clock had just struck midnight on New Year's Eve, so they had two things to celebrate.
Minutes earlier, the Yellow Jackets had completed a 49-34 victory over Mississippi State in the Orange Bowl.
Quarterback Justin Thomas was chosen the game's outstanding player Wednesday night after he directed an offense that totaled an Orange Bowl-record 452 yards rushing. He ran for 121 yards and three touchdowns, and threw for 125 yards and a score.
Synjyn Days ran for 171 yards and three scores, including a 69-yarder that defused Mississippi State's comeback bid.
''For a week or so we won't have to hear about the SEC,'' Tech coach Paul Johnson said.
Mississippi State's Dak Prescott threw for 453 yards, an Orange Bowl record and a career high. Mississippi State outgained Georgia Tech 605-577, and the two-team total was an Orange Bowl record.
But the Bulldogs twice lost the ball on downs in the second half, and two onside kick attempts failed.
Mississippi State scored on a 42-yard Hail Mary on the final play of the first half to trail 21-20, but the Yellow Jackets were unfazed, bouncing back with touchdowns on their first four possessions of the second half to lead 42-20.
''We talked about it at halftime - if we scored every time in the second half, we couldn't lose, because we were ahead,'' Johnson said.
''I was just in the right spot,'' Ross said.
The Yellow Jackets responded by shifting their ground game into high gear. First, Days found a big hole on a dive play and broke two tackles en route to the end zone.
Thomas then scored on a 32-yard keeper, juking past a defender in the backfield to break into the clear and make it 35-20. And after Jamal Golden forced a fumble at midfield, Thomas scored again on a 15-yard run.


My 7yo daughter loves Jesus a LOT, and to be honest, I'm not sure why. My deconstruction started when she was 4, and she wasn't exposed to a whole lot (not in my thinking, anyway). At least a couple times a week, she'll tell me how she can't wait to see Jesus one day, and how she's going to run to him and hug him and tell him that she loves him. A couple months ago, she would get a little upset, because she'd say that she REALLY wanted to see Jesus and be with Jesus, but she didn't want to die. And I….just don't really know what to do with it all. I still believe in Jesus and love him quite a lot myself. She gets to choose whether to go to church with me (delightful small Mennonite church) or with her dad (large conservative church), and often his church wins out because they have a really cool marble race. But then she comes home talking about how the streets of heaven are made of gold, and I spend a car trip trying to nonchalantly find out if they have talked to her about hell (they haven't so far). I just….I don't know what to do. I have Pete Enns bible curriculum which starts with Jesus, but I've done 5 lessons out of it in the last two years. We got a Spark children's bible at the Lutheran church we attended before we moved. But we never read that. I don't do anything Jesusy or Bible related with them other than the discussions we have, because I'm terrified of ruining my kids.
It sounds to me like you have a highly imaginative daughter who is at a very concrete-literal stage in her cognitive development. She wants to hug Jesus and walk on actual streets of heaven made of gold. She is joy-filled, fun-loving (who doesn't love a marble race?!), and larger than life. She sounds absolutely delightful!
There are Spiritual Child Protection Policies we can institute to ensure our children are given spiritual autonomy while growing in their spirituality. But I believe you are already set up with many of these safeguards for your daughter. She has the choice of two very different types of churches which sounds to me like you are strengthening her own intuition to decide what she wants for herself, as well as exposing her to multiple streams of learning about God. You aren't trying to convert her, focusing instead more on Jesus stories and having open and honest conversations with her.
The only red flags I see are of her internalizing some teachings about the afterlife: she seems to believe she can only see Jesus when she dies, and that heaven is a literal place with streets of gold. This is concerning to me only if it is laced with fear. Do you sense that she is afraid of not being with Jesus unless she prays a prayer, goes to church, reads the Bible, or any other conditional requirement? Is she generally an anxious or fearful child because of these teachings? If so, then I would suggest pulling her out of these situations that is causing her distress.
But I doubt this is the situation for you because she seems happy. She seems well-loved and fully blossoming in her spiritual development. These are positive signs of wholeness that she isn't afraid to imagine scenarios of hugging Jesus and telling him she loves him. It tells me that you probably hug her often and tell her you love her, for that to be the basis of her imagination of a relationship with the divine.
You say, "I just don't know what to do." Good news, you are already doing it! You are building a well-connected relationship with your daughter, and letting the loving atmosphere of her multiple influences free her into developing her spirituality. You don't know why she loves Jesus the way she does because you haven't taught her explicitly to love Jesus in this way, and that's because spirituality isn't taught. Children are born with a capacity to be spiritual and they can thrive in their own development of spirituality if they are given the environment to freely do so.
Get excited with her about her exuberant love for Jesus, especially since you say you do too. You aren't ruining her by letting her express love and joy. Continue monitoring her for signs of fear and distress, or forced conversion/indoctrination from her formative influences, but barring those toxic factors, relish in her imagination and joy of the transcendent. Try to do your own emotional work of deconstructing without burdening her with it. And may you both find healing and wholeness from your parent-child relationship and your expressions of faith.


Finki flare skirts are the most comfortable and flattering skirts to wear.
They have a stretch band on the waist and gently taper over the tummy and hips without too much fullness.
Finishing just past the knees, they look equally great in winter with boots or in Summer with sandals.
The starbright skirt is made from a medium weight cotton/elastane featuring a white and gold star design on a dark green base.
It has a matt cotton finish and drapes nicely without feeling too thick or too thin when wearing.
Finki is made in Melbourne, Australia.

Luke Davies was born in 1962, in Sydney. He grew up in West Pymble, on Sydney's North Shore, and became interested in reading and writing poetry in his early teenage years. After school he studied for a Bachelor of Arts degree at the University of Sydney, publishing his first collection of poetry, Four Plots for Magnets (1982), while still a student. His difficult experiences with drug addiction during the 1980s informed his first novel, Candy (1997). After recovering in the early 1990s, he worked in different occupations, including as a teacher and as a truck driver, and more recently has been a full-time writer. He has gone on to write further novels— Isabelle the Navigator (2000), and God of Speed (2008)—as well as writing essays and reviews for magazines and newspapers. He has also written for film, co-writing (with Neil Armfield) the script for the film adaptation of Candy (2006). From 2008, Davies has been based in Los Angeles, USA.
Davies' poetry has been widely published in Australian literary magazines and anthologies. In 1994 he published a major collection with Angus and Robertson, Absolute Event Horizon: Poems . His next collection, Running with Light (1999), won the Arts Queensland Judith Wright Calanthe Prize in 2000. In 2004, he published his critically acclaimed collection of love poetry Totem , which won the Age Book of the Year award as well as the Age Dinny O'Hearn Poetry Prize (2004), and the John Bray Award for Poetry (2006).

Q: How can I use a spinner in addition to goroutines so that the output is not overriding each other? What I am trying to do is use a spinner to indicate work progress in a few goroutines. The issue I am having is that both the spinner message and job completion message is being logged in the same line. What I am asking is how can I have the spinner pinned to the bottom of so that the spinner status is not getting in the way of the logged messages itself?

func stopOnSignal(spinner *yacspin.Spinner) {
    // ensure we stop the spinner before exiting, otherwise cursor will remain
    // hidden and terminal will require a `reset`

    signal.Notify(sigCh, os.Interrupt, syscall.SIGTERM)
    go func() {
        <-sigCh

        spinner.StopFailMessage("interrupted")

        // ignoring error intentionally
        _ = spinner.StopFail()

        os.Exit(0)
    }()
}

A: Based on your initial question, here is the solution for not showing the spinner in the lines:

*

*Introduce a variable

pauseItForAMoment := false which will help to ignore to do Pause or not in one of your goroutine.
func main() {
    pauseItForAMoment := false

And the goroutine looks like this:
        // tried moving this into the worker goroutine also, but same effect
        for range spinnerCh {
            current += 1
            if !pauseItForAMoment {
                if err := s.Pause(); err != nil {
                    panic(err)
                }
                s.Message(fmt.Sprintf("%d/%d", current, total))
                if err := s.Unpause(); err != nil {
                    panic(err)
                }
            }
        }
    }(spinner)

*Stop and Start the spinner while printing d
                pauseItForAMoment = true
                spinner.Prefix(d)
                spinner.Stop()
                // fmt.Println(d)
                spinner.Start()
                pauseItForAMoment = false

*Change few of the spinner config values to:

        StopCharacter:   " ",
        // StopMessage:       "done",

Note it, your goroutines are not exactly correct to print them in the order, which you know already, hope you will fix that.
Output looks like this:

Here is the code if something is not clear https://go.dev/play/p/0lOza3aapf2
I prefer to show the output like this below & the code for that is https://go.dev/play/p/W8Y1kwNqphl (just my 2cents ;-) ignore it if you don't need it)

A: Author of the library here. Based on the snippet you shared in the GitHub issue you opened, I think you just need to set the StopCharacter value to an empty string instead of " ". It made it render like this for me...

Here is the code on the Go Playground, since I am too dumb to figure out how to copy and paste it here without losing formatting.
I hope this helps!
