Former C-star Wu Yi Fan Sentenced by Beijing Court to 13 Years in Jail for Rape After His August 2021 Arrest
The verdict is out and there is no special treatment for celebrities in the strict Chinese penal system. Disgraced Canadian-Chinese star Wu Yi Fan (also known as Kris Wu) has been sentenced by the Beijing court to a total of 13 years in jail today after his trial earlier this year in June. This follows his arrest last August 2021 when an internet gravure girl named Du Mei Zhu went public with his various crimes – the most serious being selecting young women for sex and rape. After his arrest all his online presence has been scrubbed and his movies/dramas taken down from streaming. The prison sentence includes 11.5 years for rape and 1.5 years for group sexual misconduct. The sentence also includes expulsion from the country so he will be deported to Canada after serving his sentence as he's a Canadian citizen. Thus concludes the astronomical rise and even more swift and serious fall of Wu Yi Fan in less than 10 years in the industry.

One of the great news these days!! Good riddance!! Ridiculously, many of his fangirls still believe he is innocent…..

Finally. Thought they''d take forever with his trial. Anyone know how many years his accomplices get?

I liked watching him on screen. You just never know, who is behind the mask.
He is appealing which is interesting, considering Chinese courts are known to up the initial sentence. If they do in his case, even better because he did far more than just this. Pity he won't rot forever.

I hope his victims feel some sense of justice today and are surrounded by lots of support and love. Also, The young lady that exposed him is so, so incredibly brave to speak out and expose such a popular entertainer at the time. For all the women whose bodies and souls this evil creature tried to destroy, I hope his life is now destroyed instead. Much love and healing to all of them❤
he'll be out from jail when he's 45 y.o serve you right!

Hate this happen more often

Rapists can't be forgiven. They are the abdomination. They are slave of lust. He will enjoy jail time. If Chinese jail are the same than the others then he will have a great time inside. He will learn how the victims feels like being violated. I don't pity him. Let him suffer till he also got trauma.

Rape has very little to do with lust. Rape is about control by taking away the control from the victim and dominance. It's been long proven sex is not even close to the primary motivator when it comes to rape.

How did this type of person get to be in so many high profile films & lead role in a drama??? His agent must have known something about his disgusting behaviour. Heard his victim was below 14 years old.


After years of writing for big names such as James Bay, John Legend, and Meghan Trainor, Caitlyn Smith is ready to step into the spotlight with her major label debut. In celebration of Starfire, due January 19 on Sony's Monument Records, Smith will make her national television debut performing "Contact High" on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon Tuesday, Jan. 16. Fans can tune in at 11:35 p.m. ET/10:35 p.m. CT on NBC to catch Smith's performance.
This transition into the spotlight is chronicled on her first single and title-track from the album, "Starfire," that Billboard calls a "chugging, hand-clapping mid-tempo track, about persevering despite others trying to extinguish your light," that will impact Triple A radio February 5. To continue the momentum the singer/songwriter will perform on NPR's World Café in early March and at the BottleRock Festival in Napa, CA on May 25.
Hailed as one of the "top female vocalists" on Billboard's SXSW 2017 Music Discovery, Smith knows how to make her music translate to fans onstage, but Starfire packs a truthful punch with the songs that make Caitlyn, Caitlyn.
"A lot of the times I would enter the writing room, because my job was as songwriter, need[ing] to think about writing for the radio or writing about something very specific with an artist in mind to get a cut," Smithtold Billboard. "With these songs it was a totally different approach to writing where I was able to dig around my own story and write some more honest stuff."
A celebrated force in the writer's room, the Minnesota native also had her songs cut by international icon Dolly Parton, and co-wrote the 4x-Platinum, Trainor/Legend duet "Like I'm Gonna Lose You," among others.


After ten days I was moved out of the CCU and onto a normal ward. This was an emotional point for me, the low of moving from the security of the CCU and the high of the decision not to operate.
I lost my private room, but I also lost my drips. This meant I could now use a bathroom, and I took a much-needed shower. My back still hurt a great deal, and I found I was most comfortable sitting in a chair and leaning forward to rest on a table. My medication made me groggy, but as I slept more than usual I didn't mind. I was still working hard at getting better.
Now the aim was to maintain stability, and keep my systolic BP below 130. I was still on the ward-round list, and there were still tests to be carried out, but the atmosphere lightened up a little.
My BP stayed fairly close to the target, and it looked like I would soon be home.
One of the doctors told me that a month after my discharge I would have another scan to see how things were developing. Another doctor took my wife and me aside and gave us a question and answer session prior to discharge. We didn't know all the right questions to ask, but his advice was clear enough.
I must buy a BP monitor and check and record my BP. This was vital to my survival.
A reading of 180 systolic should be reported immediately to my GP.
I should report any unusual or worrying developments to my GP immediately.
I should be able to start returning to normal life in four to five months.
So with a lot of hope and a little trepidation, I prepared for return to the big world.
When I returned home, I began the long task of resting and recovering. It wasn't as easy as it sounds. My back hurt, my kidneys hurt, the top of my legs hurt and walking was impossible over any distance, or up hill. Walking upstairs was very painful and exhausting.
To be helpful, one of the first things I did was to put all the BP readings from hospital into a graph. I would then be able to chart any changes or trends, and add my own readings. For these I was continuing the hospital regimen of three times a day as I had been told.
A couple of days later we reported to the GP. I had to take a taxi the ½ mile. My back hurt, my legs hurt, I was very light-headed. My legs also ran out of steam on any gradient. I had even updated my BP readings. Pretty good, huh?
Unfortunately my GP didn't think so, and I was the subject of some ridicule. This was not a good start. I tried to explain that this was what I had been told to do.
Taking BP once a week or so is plenty enough monitoring.
The important reading is diastolic - systolic isn't that important.
A reading of 180+ is only important if sustained over 3 or more days.
If I have a problem, go straight to hospital. Consulting the GP would just waste time.
I will continue living on a knife-edge.
Bearing in mind that just two weeks ago I had been a hair's breadth from death, and that we had no idea what my chances of survival were, what was normal and what wasn't, and what to expect, you will understand that we were completely confused and alone. And of course the doctors in the hospital have moved on to the next emergency, and aren't available to us.
Meanwhile my back was causing serious hurt, and the medication was leaving me feeling awful. In addition my kidneys were causing great discomfort at night and I was finding it difficult to breath. My BP was yo-yoing around, but of course we had been told that it didn't matter unless it was very high for days.
So we took it all day by day and wondered what was going on.
Early one morning I felt so ill I struggled down to the GP. He immediately called an ambulance, and once again I arrived at A&E. I was found a bed, and was attended by a ward doctor. Tests were done, and I waited for the consultant. As the day wore on I slowly began to improve. By the time he arrived late afternoon, I felt much better. There was a brief discussion amongst the medical team, the gist of which was that I was a bit of a worrier, viz my BP records, nothing wrong, go home. I think they thought I had called the ambulance.
I went home that evening wondering if I should have refused the ambulance called by the GP. I shall certainly consider any future suggestions very carefully.


Every morning when you log in, you will need a manager or owner to do the initial system login for the day. Our system automates as much as it can about your opening and closing procedures, so it automatically closes out the previous day's operations and starts you fresh every morning with a clean slate.
To start your day, you will want to count your cash in your cash drawer and write the totals down somewhere for later reference. As you go through your day, the system will automatically track all sales. Be sure you are properly logging each transaction in our Register with it set to the proper Till in the system.
After you have closed your doors for the day, do another count in your cash drawer and subtract the morning's total from the new one, and that will be the cash you took in for the day.
In our system, go to Reports > End of Day, and where it says All Tills, click on the till in which you've been working. Look in the Tender by Till section a little further down, and confirm the Cash total for your Till for the day.
You can also confirm totals for checks, card receipts, and any other payment methods you might have taken in.
That's it! The system keeps a permanent record of all of those sales and totals, and you can reference that information whenever you need to!
How do I prevent the end of day report from printing all the transactions?

Investors abandon Fairway after Q2 loss widens
Jon Springer | Nov 07, 2014
Stock in Fairway Group Holdings was down by nearly 10% Friday, after the retailer reported a wider than expected quarterly loss and suspended financial guidance as a rebuilding commences under new CEO Jack Murphy.
Murphy, who was appointed to his role in September, in his first remarks to the financial community late Thursday said it was too early on to remark on specific strategies but intended to craft "very detailed marketing and merchandising plans" focused on improving same-store sales and enhancing processes for the New York-based specialty retailer. "There's a lot of work to do here at Fairway, but there's also a tremendous amount of opportunity," Murphy said. He did not take questions from analysts.
As reported previously, Fairway's sales in the second quarter improved by 5.9%, but comps were down by 3.9% as a result of new competition — in particular a Brooklyn Whole Foods store affecting sales at Fairway's Red Hook store — and losses mounted to $17.2 million as a result of price investments, inflation that was not passed along to shoppers, and increased shrink. Earnings and revenue were below analyst predictions.
Ed Arditte, co-president and CFO, said, "We're actively reviewing all operational activities in the company and we believe that halting guidance is the appropriate action for us at this point."
Fairway stock closed Friday at $2.46 per share, down by 9.56%, its lowest close since it began trading in April 2013.

EDMOND, Okla. (AP) — An attorney plans to seek a competency hearing for a 19-year-old Oklahoma murder suspect whose brother told investigators he said he killed their parents because he thought they were Satan worshippers communicating with him telepathically.
Michael Elijah "Eli" Walker was arraigned Wednesday on first-degree murder charges in the March 4 shooting deaths of Michael Logan Walker, 50, and Rachel Walker, 44, at their home in the Oklahoma City suburb of Edmond.
Walker's attorney, Derek Chance, who entered a not guilty plea on his client's behalf, said he would expect to seek a not guilty by reason of insanity defense if he isn't found incompetent for trial. Chance acknowledged such defenses have rarely succeeded in Oklahoma murder trials.
"He's very mentally ill, and even at this point it's difficult even for us to get through to him in any of our meetings," Chance said.
Michael Logan Walker's sister, Maya Walker, made a brief statement to reporters Tuesday following funeral services for the slain couple, alluding to her nephew's mental difficulties.
"Please see it soon enough before it happens to your family because all of us now in hindsight are realizing the pieces we're putting together now, we didn't recognize," she said.
"We hope and pray for the best possible outcome (and) for Eli, my nephew, to get the best care possible," Walker said.
"We'll be going through phones and computers, looking for receipts to try to find out how they were purchased ... that's part of our investigation," Wagnon said.


This week, millions of Americans returned to work after spending time with family and friends over the Thanksgiving holiday. Amidst the travel and meal preparations, many may have missed the "Pre-Holiday News Dump" last Wednesday when Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Ajit Pai released his 200 plus page proposal to dismantle the agency's open internet protections.
Commonly referred to as "net neutrality," what is at stake is the ability of consumers and businesses to reach the online applications and services of their choosing without interference from their broadband provider. This has been a bipartisan bedrock principle for more than a decade, it was upheld in court last year, and has existed all while investment by broadband providers continues to grow.
When I joined the FCC in 2009, as one of the agency's five Commissioners, Netflix's streaming video service had been around for just two years. Tumblr was still a relatively new player and Spotify was still two years away from launching in the U.S. These companies have seen tremendous growth over the past eight years thanks to a level playing field. Their continued success depends on an ability to reach their customers without discriminatory interference by the nation's largest broadband providers.
This has not always been the case. Broadband providers tell us to trust them – that they have no interest in engaging in anti-consumer or anti-competitive practices. But the record contains many real-world examples when broadband providers blocked lawful applications, such as when several wireless providers blocked Google Wallet in favor of these providers' own affiliated app. Net neutrality principles were established at the FCC as far back as 2004 to prevent exactly this type of bad behavior.
To be clear, net neutrality is much bigger than any one company or individual. In the nearly seven months since the FCC Chairman launched his plans to rollback net neutrality, the public outcry has been loud and fierce. I traveled the country to take part in town halls in Atlanta, Los Angeles, Seattle, and Marietta, Ohio to hear what consumers and small businesses had to say about the proposed rollback. I spoke with individuals who depend on the open internet for school work, job applications, telehealth services and much more.
Most recently, I took part in a roundtable discussion in Brooklyn, New York. I heard from micro-businesses (those with just a few employees) on what an open internet has meant for them economically as well as the benefits that have come from being able to spend more time with their families. They told me that they wouldn't have the financial resources to pay a toll imposed by their broadband provider and are now fearful of what rolling back the clock will mean for their futures. But in two weeks, the robust, bright-line net neutrality rules that I and so many others have championed for years could be wiped out completely.
My fellow Commissioners would benefit from hosting their own public forums and listening to the concerns raised by consumers and small businesses. Doing so would allow them to hear first-hand on what it means to access the internet without fear that their broadband provider will slow down or block their favorite online applications and services. My colleagues would benefit from hearing concerns about broadband providers' poor service, surprise price hikes, and inadequate customer support, so, why won't they?
If the federal government is not willing to stand by these basic protections, surely states and localities will step in to fill the gap? Sadly, the Chairman's proposal tramples over the rights of these communities and will actually prevent them from adopting any related consumer protections – an action I believe is likely unlawful and will no doubt be litigated in court.
Chairman Pai's own bio states that "[t]he FCC is at its best when it proceeds on the basis of consensus; good communications policy knows no partisan affiliation." I agree. In practice though, this is not the approach the Chairman has chosen to take on more than a dozen actions this year that directly harm consumers and small businesses, including opening the door to massive media consolidation, and weakening a program designed to provide low-income Americans with affordable phone and broadband service. Nor is it the path we are heading on when it comes to net neutrality.
The FCC's public comment process was established for a reason, and through that mechanism millions of comments have been filed by the public, with the vast majority of legitimate, unique filers opposing the rollback of net neutrality. This jibes with a recent public opinion poll showing that three-quarters of Americans support net neutrality.
Now it is time to listen but if the FCC's majority is unwilling to take this simple step, then the most responsible way forward is for the Chairman to withdraw his proposal prior to the December 14th scheduled vote.
Consumers and small businesses count on the FCC to be the standard bearer when it comes to upholding and protecting the public interest. We should to do the right thing. We ought to listen to what the American people are saying. We must stand up, speak out and work to ensure that the internet remains a platform for innovation and free expression in the decades to come.

Average new home prices in China's 70 major cities in September rose 9.1 percent from a year earlier, according to Reuters calculations based on official data published on Tuesday, marking the ninth straight month of year-on-year increases.
In month-on-month terms, prices rose 0.7 percent in September, easing from August's gains of 0.8 percent.
The National Bureau of Statistics said new home prices in Beijing rose 16 percent in September from a year earlier, compared with August's year-on-year increase of 14.9 percent.
Shanghai prices were up 17 percent in September from a year ago, versus 15.4 percent annual growth in August.
The rises in both cities were the strongest since the data series began in 2011.
China still faces record home prices despite government measures to calm the market, in large part due to a strong view that property remains one of the best investment options.
Reuters started its weighted China home price index in January 2011 when the NBS stopped providing nationwide data, only giving home price changes in each of 70 major cities.

What I Want You to Know is a series of reader submissions. It is an attempt to allow people to tell their personal stories, in the hopes of bringing greater compassion to the unique issues each of us face. If you would like to submit a story to this series, click here. This guest post is by Sue. What I want you to know is that my husband is the love of my life and we have been married for 30 years this summer. But we hit a very big bump in the road during our 8th year of marriage. That was the year my husband declared that he didn't want to be married anymore and just like that, we were separated. What I want you to know is that I didn't want to be separated, but, just like that, I was. Because it only take one spouse to leave the other to be separated. For me, it was like being in a foreign country and not being able to ask for directions. I was desperate to connect to my husband and get through to him—to tell him that I loved him no matter what and we could work through anything as long as it was together. But, the truth is that he had to work through a lot of issues he was struggling with on his own. I couldn't help him no matter how much I wanted to. The truth is that I let him go, so he could figure his life out. And it was the hardest thing I had ever done. The truth is that I was soooo mad at him, yet I loved him and wanted him to be whole again. I wanted the best for him. Even if it was without me. The truth is that I knew the man I married, and I believed in him and in us. But the man who left me was not the man I married. The man I married was my best friend. He pledged his love to me. It was real. The man who left me was broken and could not love—me or himself. What I want you to know is that the year I was separated from my husband was the hardest year of my life, and yet it was the year I grew so much as a person. It was the year I realized that no matter what, God loved me, and that with or without a husband, I would make it. It was the year I lived on my own, with my toddler, for the very first time ever. It was like climbing Mt. Everest without any training, but I did it. I realized during that year that I really wasn't alone because God sent me real life brothers and sisters to help me through this trial. He was with me all the way. What I want you to know is that I prayed so hard for God to change my husband's mind and bring him back to me. And with every month that went by and he didn't come back, I felt angry and abandoned and worthless. But then I turned the corner, and realized that I could be a whole person and that people loved me for me. I want you to know that my year of separation was a year of discovery. I shed a thousand tears, but I also learned so much about myself. What I want you to know is that through it all, even me not understanding how I could be separated, I realized that the vows I took when I got married were real, and I loved my husband and this was the "for worse" part of the vows. I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that the love we had once pledged was real; I was not ready just to give up on that even though the hurt this separation caused was worse than anything I had ever experienced. I finally came to realize that I was not the one who could change anything. It was up to God. And my husband. What I want you to know is that when I least expected it, when I was moving on with my life, and at peace with who I was, my husband re-entered my life. And he was completely different and so was I, but the love we had once promised to each other was still there and it came back with a fire and a fierceness that wasn't there before. We both realized how precious true love is and we knew that that was what we had once found in each other. It wasn't hard work to bring it back. It came back naturally. Because the truth is, we pledged our love when we were young, but it was real and solid and built on a faith that was solid. But, what I want you to know is that we both had to take a risk, take a chance, and be willing to forgive. Yet, when we did, it was like….wow….. falling in love all over again, except better. Way better. And so, what I what you to really know is that life is not perfect, love is not perfect, but when you really know the person you love, then it is possible, with God's help, to forgive, to forget and to find love again—and the blessings that come afterward are definitely worth every hour, every day of struggle and every heartbreak that you go through. What I want you to know is that you can begin again, and the blessings that come from being able to truly forgive are so much more than I ever imagined. My marriage and my relationship with my husband are so much more than I ever dared to hope for. It's not perfect, but it's real and it's solid. What I want you to know is that in the end, a love that is true is worth it all. It is definitely worth taking a chance at forgiving and starting again.

James Dommek Jr.
The Good: Native life in Alaska focusing on an actor-turned-fugitive and his trial
The Bad: Leaves you with more questions than answers
The Literary: Unusual structure that comes together in the end
In rural native Alaska, James Dommek Jr., the great-grandson of the last of the Inupiaq storytellers, investigates the true-crime tale of Teddy Kyle Smith. Teddy was a successful indigenous Alaskan actor whose career was on the rise in independent films featuring natives. But one night in September 2012, Teddy's mom dies, followed by a gunshot, a manhunt, and bloodshed. Teddy escapes into the wilderness, where he claims he was followed by Iñukuns, a mythological tribe of the Inupiaq.
I really like this short audiobook, which reads more like an extended podcast. James is a great storyteller, weaving threads of official records, personal interviews, and his own journey to retrace Teddy's footsteps and understand who Teddy was. James didn't know Teddy personally, but being a native from Alaska, he knew a lot of the same people. He provides intimate conversations with those who knew Teddy best, usually straight from their living rooms, together with court recordings, and eerie atmospheric music and ambiance.
I love the rough and unfiltered documentary look at the rural lifestyle, and cadence and tone of the natives. I love the consideration given to the mysterious and mischievous Iñukuns, a myth that many natives still honor and uphold today. Not only is the native myth on display, but Dommek uses the opportunity to explore modern native life, mental illness, alcoholism, cultural appropriation in Hollywood, and, most interestingly, government systems that fail natives. In a retrial, Teddy claims he wasn't tried by his peers, as the entire jury was white, even if they lived geographically in the nearest town. The judge ruled otherwise.
Teddy's story morphs from a fairly clear-cut case of attempted murder and mental illness into a larger conversation about how we honor and respect those different from us, especially in our modern secular world, and how the justice system is not optimized for all Americans.
Highly recommended for anyone interested in rural native life. If you're a true-crime buff, this might be a little outside your wheelhouse, but it's worth it!

The medication review proforma was adapted so that it became the STOPIT tool, incorporating a procedure to "qualify" patients admitted to hospital for review of potentially inappropriate medicines. Qualifying patients are identified by pharmacy staff and highlighted through direct communication as well as documentation in the CWFT electronic prescribing system. The doctors then review accordingly. Changes made as a result (dose reductions or discontinuations) are similarly documented electronically allowing transcription onto the discharge summary.
Reviewing medicines during an acute admission to the hospital captures a large number of patients who may otherwise not have presented to primary care physicians or community pharmacies.
The EHRU has 10 beds and is run by an independent healthcare provider, Care UK. It typically offers rehabilitation stays of up to six weeks. Medical and pharmaceutical services are provided by the neighbouring CWFT under a service level agreement, and most referrals originate from the Trust. A smaller number of referrals are sometimes accepted from other acute hospitals and directly from the community. Our referrals come from a variety of specialities including GPs, geriatricians, orthopaedic and general surgeons.
Medicines taken by EHRU patients are managed by the consultant-led care of the elderly team, which includes a senior pharmacist. Management typically involves ensuring accurate medicines reconciliation, optimisation of medicines and preparation for pharmaceutical discharge. Since many admissions are made from the neighbouring Trust, medicines reconciliation is usually straightforward, particularly since a medication history will have been verified during the hospital stay. Adherence to medication post-discharge is a major focus and the pharmacy team assess this and work towards overcoming barriers to taking medicines as prescribed.
The STOPIT proforma was used to collect data prospectively over a period of five months (September 2012–February 2013). Forms were not completed for patients where drug treatment was initiated and subsequently optimised on the EHRU. For patients transferred from CWFT, "step 1" of the form was not completed, since this will have been undertaken during the acute admission to hospital. "Step 2", the medication review, was undertaken during the weekly ward round and typically involved the consultant and registrar for older people, a pharmacist and a nurse.
Changes were documented on the STOPIT form and results were tabulated on an Excel spreadsheet. Basic descriptive statistics were used in the analysis.
During the study period, EHRU provided rehabilitation for 36 patients. 15 rehabilitation patients (42%) had a STOPIT form completed. Table 1 outlines the source of referral and medication changes recorded on STOPIT forms for some of these patients.
The study population presented with a typical spectrum of medical conditions as well as a variety of medicines that are to be expected in elderly patients. In each case, patients and primary care physicians were informed of medication changes and a medication adherence assessment was conducted and the findings acted upon, in order to try and maximise the benefit of using the STOPIT tool.
This preliminary study looking into the use of a STOPP-type tool in an elderly care rehabilitation setting demonstrated that 42% of patients had at least one pre-prescribed medicine stopped or adjusted by the multidisciplinary team. EHRU patients will also have medicines initiated and adjusted during their stay on the unit. Whilst beyond the scope of this study, it is important to counter any notion that rehabilitation patients always have a stable medication regime that requires little intervention.
Many of our referrals came from CWHT where it may be expected that medicines will have been rationalised. Our experience was that this was often not the case and there was scope to initiate and optimise appropriate medicines as well as stopping them.
Focus groups at CWHT have previously suggested that junior doctors feel uncomfortable stopping medicines that more senior doctors have initiated. Moreover, indications for medicines are frequently not known to the admitting team in the acute environment, current medication lists may not be up-to-date and primary care physicians are sometimes not informed of reasons for hospital-initiated medication changes. We are also aware of anecdotal reports that surgical teams are reluctant to change regular medications. These factors may contribute to unnecessary continuation of previous prescriptions which can be reviewed effectively in the rehabilitation environment.
As such, rehabilitation wards can be a better setting for medication reviews than the acute phase of hospitalisation. Rehabilitation patients may also be more physiologically and pharmacodynamically stable, or may be in the process of normalisation, making it easier to follow the impact of medication changes.
At the EHRU, the typical stay of six weeks provides an excellent opportunity to monitor the therapeutic effect of medication changes closely, compared with other settings including outpatients.
Our results demonstrate that medicines optimisation10 on the EHRU varied in complexity. Simpler examples included stopping or reducing doses of proton pump inhibitors (PPI), and laxatives, whilst complex management was also necessary,5 for example optimising treatment in a patient with concurrent hypertension and postural hypotension. We also updated medication regimens (eg. nifedipine to amlodipine and metoprolol to bisoprolol). We would argue that the simpler modifications are particularly important in rehabilitation patients who are recovering from acute episodes of care and may therefore be at greater risk of, for example, Clostridium Difficile infection exacerbated by PPIs or laxative-induced dehydration.
Non-prescription "over-the-counter" (OTC) medicines were not covered in our study, and we acknowledge that some adverse effects in older patients are likely to be related to OTCs.4 However, we have included in our results one significant case where gingko biloba was being taken by a patient with important risk factors, which illustrates the potential impact of OTC or herbal medicines in our study cohort.
We are mindful of limitations with this preliminary study, including the potential for the EHRU team to make more interventions during the study period. We also experienced a small number of cases where stopping medication was not successful, including one particular patient with strong beliefs about her medication that had led her to inappropriately manage her medicines at home. Our attempts to rationalise her medicines caused her anxiety but even then, the rehabilitation stay allowed for ongoing dialogue, working towards a discharge plan.
We note a view by Clifford et al, that published research regarding potentially inappropriate prescribing leads to poor patient outcomes is mixed at best12 and that it remains unclear whether stopping these medications helps patients avoid medication-related harms.
Clearly there is a need for further research in relation to outcomes. However, we would argue that the use of STOPP-type tools must be part of a wider strategy of adequate communication between care settings with patients and professionals, particularly during transfer of care.13 Use of STOPP tools should also facilitate medication adherence as much as possible. Unintentional non-adherence,12 which may include dementia-related causes is an important variable to consider in this respect.
Empowering doctors to stop what is "inappropriate" as readily as starting evidence-based treatments, should improve the quality of prescribing which decreases risk and should reduce overall costs. ("Inappropriate" is defined as no perceivable benefit to that individual—we note that 'inappropriate' is a personal/individual term prone to some subjectivity).
We believe that our findings from a rehabilitation setting arise from a commitment from doctors and pharmacists to work together and exercise willingness to stop or adjust medicines that are deemed unnecessary. We therefore recommend that primary and secondary care physicians and pharmacists work together to actively review the need to continue medications in intermediate care settings, such as rehabilitation units.
We hope on the EHRU to evaluate more patients over a longer period of time, to apply models of costing and to evaluate other factors such as risk and length of stay in the rehabilitation environment.

Is American Exceptionalism in Crisis?
Jimmy Zollo
Chicago, IL, September 12, 2017 – With certainty of change its premise, 747 Insights today released "Generation Nation: Values and Attitudes," a far-reaching inaugural study intended to help businesses, associations and non-profit organizations make more meaningful connections with Generation Z (born 1998 or later), Millennials (1981 – 1997), Generation X (1965 – 1980) and Baby Boomers (1946 – 1964).
Despite many cross-generational themes, the study found significant disparity when it comes to the notion of American exceptionalism. Only 15% of Gen Z and 18% of Millennials consider themselves "patriotic," compared to 27% of Xers and 42% of Boomers. Similarly, less than a third (32%) of Gen Z and less than half (47%) of Millennials believe the U.S. is the greatest country in the world, compared to roughly two-thirds of Xers and Boomers (63% and 68%, respectively).
This finding of disparity in attitudes toward the U.S. extends beyond the flag and into the marketplace. When asked to respond to the statement, "I prefer to buy products that are made in the USA," the following numbers agreed:
29% of Gen Z;
52% of Millennials;
61% of Gen X; and
74% of Baby Boomers
"It's little surprise that younger generations don't fully subscribe to the nationalistic views of most of their parents" said Michael Wood, principal of 747 Insights. "In addition to being the most ethnically diverse generations in American history, Gen Z and Millennials have made online connections with peers from across the globe and have a strong affinity toward people from all countries and cultures."
Added Mr. Wood: "Inclusive to their core, young people have far less tolerance for intolerance. They truly believe there's room at the table for everyone, except for those who preach against inclusion."
Mr. Wood and Kate Danaj, co-founders of 747 Insights, partnered with Collaborata, the market-research marketplace, to launch and distribute Generation Nation. They surveyed 4,150 respondents, split equally among the four generations, between June 9 – 19, 2017. The results were analyzed throughout the summer, leading to today's release.
Generation Nation surveyed respondents across eight distinct subject matter areas:
Money & Spending
Education & the Workplace
Politics & Social Issues
Life & Psyche
Hopes & Aspirations

Does Your Marriage Measure Up?
Marriage is not one-size-fits-all. What works for one couple might cause another to run outside and set fire to themselves.
When a bride is young, she often thinks her marriage should be just like her girlfriend's marriage, or her sister's or that adorable couple on TV.
The truth is there are innumerable ways for a man and woman to live happily ever after. Here are a few I've encountered.
She butters his toast in the morning, picks out his clothes, buys his underwear and packs for him when he travels.
He makes all the financial decision, doles out her allowance and pays the bills. I know of two cases where Husband/Daddy prints out all his wife's e-mails, because she never learned how.
They lead more-or-less independent lives, coming together for weddings, funerals, social gatherings and the occasional intervention.
She does not go for dinner or a movie with girlfriends. He wouldn't think of a fishing trip or boys' nights out. They're a boxed set and can't be split.
Of course most marriages are a combination of some or all these descriptions. The point is every variation is perfectly valid, as long as both parties agree. Typically, it's a carefully choreographed dance that's worked out in the early years of marriage, evolving slightly over time.
When it comes to marriage, whatever floats your boat is good, whatever rocks it is not.
Please share this post with others, and add your comments.
I like my marriage having all these components. He buys all his own clothes so I think it's very special to buy him a special outfit or tell him what outfits make him look cute or handsome. Yes, he controls the major finances, although I manage many of the bills and all the health insurance. I love being attached to his hip and at the same time I love the independence to visit my cousin in Chicago. It is all a balance. We just love being together!

How does Iranian Handmade Carpet Benefit from Lausanne Declaration?
Category : Report23/07/2016
The Iranian New Year began with the hot debates going on in Lausanne, Switzerland, and Iran's economy was expecting, above anything else, some promising keys to unlock its business and commerce.
The Iranian New Year began with the hot debates going on in Lausanne, Switzerland, and Iran's economy was expecting, above anything else, some promising keys to unlock its business and commerce.
The news was finally announced with Lausanne declaration which, although did not make any commitments for the parties, clarified Iran's ultimate stance as to its agreement with 6 powerful countries of the world that are home to over 80% of the global economy.
The promise to lift the economic sanctions against Iran is a key word assuring a fundamental change in the country's economy. Now all the economic sections including the carpet industry are investigating the influence of this upcoming change on their output. Artists involved in the carpet industry are likewise trying to benefit from such a transformation to improve their trade under the booming political and economic situation.
Among the most probable changes they expect the US resuming to import Iranian carpets, ease of foreign exchange transactions, and reduction in the price of some consumer goods, as well as transportation costs.
The following reviews by economic experts and activists about the prospective status of Iranian carpet export after lifting of sanctions will offer a better analysis of the new trend of Iranian carpet economy.
Lifting Sanctions Promises a Bright Future for Iranian Carpet Export
Referring to the prospective status of Iranian carpet export after the removal of sanctions, Hossein Raghfar, economist and lecturer at Al-Zahra University, says: "A bright future awaits Iranian carpets that are most popular among international purchasers and businessmen."
"Unfortunately, political dealings with Iranian products particularly handmade carpets in American markets in the recent years terribly declined the trade of Iranian carpets which were sadly replaced by Indian and Turkish products that mostly copied Iranian patterns and were sold in the US in the name of Iranian carpets," he goes on to say adding that it would therefore be hard to divert Iranian carpet market in the US in favor of its producers and exporters.
Emphasizing the international trade centers welcoming Iranian products following the lifting of sanctions, Mr. Raghfar reiterates: "With regard to the thriving growth of handicrafts industry in recent years, the removal of sanctions will provide us with a good opportunity to offer Iranian high-quality handicrafts to compete with the low-quality products of India and China."
He further highlights the role of Iranian handmade carpets, as a blend of art and industry, in the country's economy, adding: "Apart from influencing the domestic economy, Iranian carpet has been successful to attract international markets by the delicate feeling it transfers to the observer particularly in terms of its artistic aspects."
Let's Learn from Previous Mistakes
Another Iranian economist, Farshad Momeni expresses his opinion on the subject as follows:
"If Lausanne declaration results in Iran's ultimate agreement with P5+1 and in case the country is determined to seize the opportunity, lifting the sanctions can considerably develop the country's potential capacity."
Academic board member of Allameh Tabatabaee University further refers to the positive influence of lifting the sanctions on the country's economy by eliminating bank sanction and hence reducing the cost of transactions by 30% for producers and exporters.
"Even if we had previously had the productive capacity to compete with foreign products in terms of quality, we would have been unable to win the contest due to the huge cost of bank transactions that the producers had to incur," he goes on to say.
Pointing to the current limitations in the carpet export to the US, Mr. Momeni adds: "Although we hope for the removal of such limitations in handmade carpet export to American markets, the exporters would not be much successful in their efforts if the banking system is about to follow its previous policy."
Criticizing the failure to internationally register Iranian patterns on the one hand, and the former government's unkind attitude towards this art-industry on the other, he states: "Such shortcomings have caused our former competitors to somehow occupy our lofty status in handmade carpet industry and we are therefore required to find a reliable way out to regain this status."
"At the time when Iranian handmade carpet exports to the US were not yet banned, we focused on the quantity instead of improving the quality, forgetting all about the reputation of our handmade carpets," Mr. Momeni further says, noting that one solution would be learning from previous mistakes to make up for such failures and head for prospering in international markets.
Lifting Sanctions Lead to Markets' Marketing
Answering the question about the future status of Iranian carpet export after removing the sanctions, Albert Baghzian says: "One outcome of the sanctions for the country has been the difficult way of entering the target market and common investment. Air and sea transportation of many goods and industries was not possible and we therefore had to use ship-to-ship transfer which damaged a lot of exported goods."
Economist and academic board member of the University of Tehran further states that such shortcomings would be removed following the lifting of sanctions, and the American and European markets would open doors to our carpets; moreover, ship transportation, as the most economical way of transferring, would be available for both producers and exporters.
"Another outcome would be reducing the insurance cost of ship-transferred exports as well as eliminating the exporters' concerns to export their goods. These will all lead to a considerable reduction in the export expenses that would provide foreign customers with our carpets at a much lower price," Mr. Baghzian continues.
"The longer the sanctions take, the more probable for the customers to forget this strategic product of ours; hence, international markets will be filled with low-price carpets from rival countries, leaving our carpet to wait a long time before it can re-enter the markets."
Expressing hopes that the removal of sanctions would let Iranian carpets be exported to wider markets and flourish with a higher financial circulation just like North American markets, he notes: "We need another marketing campaign in order to offer Iranian carpet to American markets. If not required in the past years, more modern and scientific marketing is now called for especially with regard to the cheating competitors who export their carpets in the name of Iranian carpet."

While I never expected to become a connoisseur of fine Atlantic Ocean beaches, I've visited enough of them in my day, this year even, to freely pass judgment on the quality of an expanse of east coast American sand. That's why I can report with confidence that Virgina Beach is superb when it comes to a satisfying strolling, swimming, or sunning excursion. For the sake of accuracy, I should be referencing Sandbridge Beach since that's where I stayed with Sara's cool Kentucky family, the same crew we vacationed with in the Outer Banks of North Carolina and DownEast Acadia in Maine, but then again, if I'm getting technical, I should call the whole locale Hampton Roads like the locals do. Sandbridge offers a less crowded or commercial environment than Virgina Beach proper but in August, the whole stretch of coastline boasts soft sand, hot sun, and a warm, changeable ocean. And how about those birds?
When we speak of seas, we must first consider seabirds. Virgina Beach offers the full complement of Mid-Atlantic summer gulls, with Laughing and Ring-billed dominant. Terns are a much more enticing proposition with plenty of Royal and Sandwich Terns , as well as a smattering of Common, Forster's, and perhaps even Least, soaring up and down the coast. Add ponderous pelicans of the Brown variety to the mix and you've always got something to look at or for while improving your tan.
Where there are seabirds, you'll probably find seahawks and I can confirm that Virgina Beach has Ospreys a-plenty. In the same vein, one would be wise to look for shorebirds at the shore. Does it come as any surprise that the omnipresent peep is Sanderling? Less expected were the throngs of Boat-tailed Grackles scavenging handouts with the gulls. Is there anything grackles can't do?
While the coastal portions of Virginia Beach are home to some pretty sweet birds, biodiversity isn't exactly a strong suit, especially in the overbuilt rental neighborhood. Northern Mockingbirds, House Finches, and other common mid-Atlantic species scratch out a living amongst the tourist set. Swallows like Barn and Bank do a pretty brisk business too but the real revelation of our stay was the prevalence of Purple Martins. Instead of massing in martin houses, these enormous (by swallow standards) indigo avians gathered in great throngs on the telephone wire right outside our house. From patchy juveniles to inky adults, the martins made for brilliant birdwatching at the beach.
Ghost crabs (like the one pictured) are quite fun to watch.
Should you make a return trip to the Outer Banks you should come in the winter. The beaches are not quite as good for swimming but the birds are much better.
Hey Mike, Thanks for the insight into birding Virginia Beach but what is that photo below the crab? Is that some kinda egg or jellyfish or what? It's hard to tell how big it is.
I have a family of 6 broad winged hawks just starting the branching phase in my backyard. Also a pair of heron-like small birds that I cannot identify. Closest: Green Heron, but not exactly.
If the bird has brownish coloring, it could be a juvenile night heron. Until they reach adulthood (maybe two seasons), their body shape is more akin to an adult Green Heron or it could be a juvenile Green Heron. I walk through Pleasure House Point Natural Area several times a month just before sunrise when the tide is low. Sometimes I go in the evening when the tide is low. Yellow-crowned Night Herons nest there in the trees and feed in the Oyster beds. They can be seen roosting in the forest areas encirling the ponds and water channels during the day. Every so often, I see Black-crowned Night Herons in the area but don't believe they nest there. Many of larger bird species feed in the oyster beds such as Great Egrets, Little Egrets, Cattle Egrets, Little Blue Herons, and Great Blue Herons. Osprey can be seen diving for fist most of the year. Bald Eagles feed there during the spring and fall. This is a great place for Bird-in-Flight Photography. There are many species of smaller birds in the maritime forest areas, including the red-winged black birds mentioned in another post.
I was at the beach in Sandbridge near Back Bay in Virginia Beach this weekend. I saw a brown bird I could not identify. Its back and wings were dark brown with a lighter colored breast – brown to gold, some birds with spots. They were about six inches tall and on the lean side. They easily navigated the sand, but did not go near the water. Their feathers were shiny and not weathered like a gull's. Seemed comfortable walking among the sun bathers. Any ideas?
Larry, my response is almost a year late but yes, that is a jellyfish!
Lloyd, is it possible you have American Bitterns in your backyard?
Susan, were the birds shorebirds? If not, could they have been immature Boat-tailed Grackles? Those birds are certainly at ease among the sun bathers.
This is my home and the beaches entertain us year round. One thing though, the people that are from here refer the area as Tidewater(Va.Beach, Norfolk, Chesapeake, Portsmouth, Newport News, and Hampton). The name Hampton Roads was the product of some area business people to give us an "identity". This was not met with cheers from the people who were from here. This has been a public service announcement from a Tidewater birdwatcher!

Q: Actualizar campos de un Form usando php y mysql He estado escribiendo un pequeño script para actualizar campos en mysql desde un form con php.
Pero tengo un inconveniente, cuando intento actualizar el campo desde php utilizando mysqli, no hay cambios en la base de datos. El campo que intento utilizar como parametro para actualizar es un ID de tipo int. Sin embargo, cuando intento utilizar un valor de tipo string si lo actualiza. No se si hay un problema al actualizar campos de tipo int desde php. Tengo dos paginas, son las siguientes:
Este codigo muestra el resultado de mi busqueda y si me funciona bien.
Search.php
$searchValue=$_GET["txtSearch"];

$connection=mysqli_connect($db_host, $db_user, $db_password, $db_name);
$query="select UserID, LastName, FirstName, UserName, Phone from User where UserID='$searchValue'";
$recordset=mysqli_query($connection, $query);

while($row=mysqli_fetch_array($recordset, MYSQLI_ASSOC))
{
    $UserID=$row['UserID'];
    $LastName = $row['LastName'];
    $FirstName = $row['FirstName'];
    $UserName = $row['UserName'];
    $Phone=$row['Phone'];

    echo "<form action='Update.php' method='get'>";

    echo "<input type='text' name='txtUserID' value='$UserID' disabled>

";
    echo "<input type='text' name='txtLastName' value='$LastName'>

";
    echo "<input type='text' name='txtFirstName' value='$FirstName'>

";
    echo "<input type='text' name='txtUserName' value='$UserName'>

";
    echo "<input type='text' name='txtPhone' value='$Phone'>

";

    echo "<input type='submit' name='btnUpdate' value='Update Values' />";

    echo "</form>";

}

El problema esta aca, cuando ejecuto la consulta. He estado intentando y no encuento la solucion del problema. ¿Esta incorrecto el query? ¿Hay alguna otra forma de actualizar valores tipo int desde php?
Este es el codigo de la otra pagina que deberia hacer la actualizacion.
Update.php
$userID=$_GET["txtUserID"];
$lastName=$_GET["txtLastName"];
$firstName=$_GET["txtFirstName"];
$userName=$_GET["txtUserName"];
$phone=$_GET["txtPhone"];

$connection=mysqli_connect($db_host, $db_user, $db_password, $db_name);

$query="UPDATE User SET LastName='$lastName', FirstName='$firstName', UserName='$userName', Phone=$phone
        WHERE UserID=$userID";

$recordset=mysqli_query($connection, $query);

echo "
 Succesfull Operation.
";

Si en lugar de utilizar WHERE UserID=$userID utilizo                     WHERE LastName=$lastName si me va bien la actualizacion.

A: No le esta llegando el valor del idUsuario te recomiento que al campo en vez de ponerlo como disabled lo coloques como hidden:
<input type='hidden' name='txtUserID' value='$UserID'>

El problema no es el tipo de datos int sino que no le llega el valor del txtUserID.

Grinding is an important process to remove the material efficiently. Before the finish machining, it is necessary to remove the cusps by the wider grinding band for obtaining more uniform allowance. In this paper, the grinding wheel hold by the multi-axis machine tool is introduced into the free-form surface grinding. The engagement between the wheel and the to-be-ground surface is established for generating the paths. An instantaneous engagement model is proposed in terms of machine tool kinematic chain, and the spatial engagement is represented on a group of planes. Based on the engagement model, the grinding path generation for enlarging bands is transformed into an optimization. Different with traditional path generation, a slight local overcut is allowed on the wheel locations. However, the envelope of grinding engagements is limited in the required boundaries to satisfy the design tolerance. They are realized by adjusting the contact locations and orientations of the wheel. At last, a compressor blade is used to verify the advantages about the proposed path generation method.

we are currently looking for possibilities of automatically rotating cloudera director credentials.
Are you aware of other possible ways for securely rotating the credetials? Maybe over ssh?
Credentials rotation over ssh could be more feasible in our environment, since we have solutions in place which could do this automatically (out-of-the-box).
Is there also a documentation of ALL priviliged accounts that might exist in cloudera? We would like to be aware of all those accounts in order to manage them accordingly.
You mention "Cloudera Director" but then you pointed to a thread that discusses changing the Cloudera Manager password. I think you didn't intend to ask about "Director," but wanted to confirm with you.
All of Cloudera Manager and CDH's configuration is stored in Cloudera Manager's database (configured in /etc/cloudera-scm-server/db.properties). I am not sure how ssh could be used to make changes.
To use the Cloudera Manager API security, configure Cloudera Manager to listen on a TLS port so that all communication between curl and CM is encrypted.
You also asked about "privileged accounts" but we need some specifics to understand what you mean. What is a "privileged account"?
thank you very much for the quick response. It would actually be interesting for us to know both, rotating credentials for the cloudera manager as well as the cloudera director.
In our organization, we understand privileged accounts as those, which can carry out critical/administrative actions on the systems. For instance, root or admin accounts on operating systems our within applications.
For cloudera director, I understood from you last comment, that the credentials are being stored in a database? Can you suggest an approach to possibly rotate privileged accounts in that database? Maybe there is an api or would the best way just simply be to use the underlying database protocol cababilities (e.g. mysql, oracle, jdbc, etc).
Would this even make sense? Or putting it another way: Are there recommendations for managing and rotating privileged accounts for cloudera solutions that we can follow?


Could a Belle update already be in the works?
fyzANDme tipped in last week about a "confidential" Nokia promo video for Belle, advertising that it will be coming to S^3 handsets. This is no new news.
However, what's in the video is. I have noticed that the interface differs from the one I have flashed on my N8, as well as that demoed on the upcoming 600, 700 and 701 devices. Below is the video I spotted, along with screenshots outlining the changes.
The screenshots are not in the order they appear in the video.
This shows three differences from the Belle we have seen. The first, is in the Toolbar. The time displays AM/PM (subtle and probably unimportant yet not in demoes that I have seen, nor the leaked Belle). For some reason, 3G is encased in a white bubble, again, subtle yet I'm yet to see this on my Leaked Belle. Email notification is something that I've been longing for, for quite some time. This finally appears to be implemented.
If some of these things I have mentioned have in fact been spotted on the new handsets, please let me know in the comment section below and I'll update it. Who knows, these discrepancies may be a Nokia concept design error, or simply their subtle way of leaking a new update design.
UPDATE: The battery indicator also is mirrored.

Q: How to externally link to nuxt js app and load contentful api? I have a nuxt js app that when linked to from an external source loads the page but does not call the api to pull through the dynamic content.
The api loads fine when using <nuxt-link> from within the site and the server config seems correct as the page loads (header, footer etc).
I know about the generate property in nuxt.config, but would this not just create static pages of all the content currently in contentful rather than making the call upon loading the page.

City of London scheme lands Breeam 'outstanding'
Foster & Partners' new European headquarters for media giant Bloomberg has been awarded a sustainability rating that its owner and designer say makes it the world's greenest office building.
The firms said the hub, which occupies a 1.3 hectare site near St Paul's Cathedral, scored 98.5% on the Breeam sustainability assessment method, giving it an "outstanding" rating and notching up the highest design-stage score ever achieved by a major office development.
The 102,000sq m building features bespoke integrated ceiling panels that combine heating, cooling and lighting; a water-conservation system that makes zero net use of mains water for flushing; natural ventilation; a smart airflow system that reduces CO2 emissions by adjusting airflow according to the number of people in the building; and a combined heat and power plant.
Norman Foster said sustainability was a key focus from the earliest client meetings about the building, which is 10 storeys tall and will be home to 4,000 staff.
"In some of our first discussions on the project, Mike Bloomberg and I arrived at a 'meeting of minds' on how the design of the new Bloomberg headquarters should incorporate the highest standards of sustainability," he said.
"The project evolved from thereon into a building that is one of the most sustainable in the world.
"The deep plan interior spaces are naturally ventilated through a 'breathing' façade while a top-lit atrium edged with a spiralling ramp at the heart of the building ensures a connected, healthy and creative environment."

The headquarters occupies a site between Queen Victoria Street and Cannon Street in the City of London, formerly occupied by post-war office block Bucklersbury House.
Foster's design restores the ancient thoroughfare of Watling Street through the site, linking two separate buildings with bridges. It also includes a home for the rebuilt Roman Temple of Mithras which was moved from the site after its discovery in the 1950s.
Alan Yates, technical director of BRE Global's sustainability group, said the Bloomberg building had a relentless focus on innovation and a "holistic, integrated approach" to sustainable construction and design.
"Projects like these are really important in giving confidence to the industry to experiment," he said.

Loading dock repairs providers and leading companies related to docks recommend upgrading from mechanical to hydraulic dock levelers. They claim that hydraulic levelers give superior safety and gratification of the consumers and users. In addition, the equipment will function with no fail, the lesser potential for bogging down, lesser maintenance and repair fees and safer utilization.
Experts from reputable dock repairs companies point out that converting and repairing may show a savings of 30% to 50% instead of replacing an existing levelers or loading docks with new hydraulic dock leveler. Following the recommendations of upgrading docks from mechanical to hydraulic does not always mean replacing it with another one, there are lots of dock repairs suppliers that can convert and help you in upgrading your loading docks.
Vertical farming is a reasonably new farming principle proposed by scientists and agriculturists as a substitute way of growing crops. This proposed technique would utilize agricultural methods such as the greenhouse, aeroponics, and hydroponics and would store everything in an agricultural structure like that of your high rise building that is referred to as a farmscraper. The whole idea may appear pretty complex, and also preposterous and absurd with a, but arrived at thinking it is, the full idea of vertical farming possesses a lot of advantages we could really make use of.
Bet you didn't notice that coming! Actually, contrary to popular belief, herbalism is the ONLY way to obtain a volatile life in cataclysm. At one time there were mobs that could be killed rapidly in Hyjal that dropped the volatile life but Blizzard nerfed the farming spot for XP reasons and took away any rewards for killing the plants. Quite a shame actually!
Any garden can sustain some sort of farming, be it directly into the planet earth or harnessing the use of pots. One of the most main reasons to remember in urban farming is the use of outside sources to fertilize your land. Farming on the massive inside a rural setting, allows for crop rotation, for self fertilization, but around the subtle of city farming the planet earth in your plot, even if adequate for the novice, need continuous fertilization. Local stables or city farms is frequently an excellent source of all-important manure and often offer it free of charge. Keeping chickens will also supply a little bit of manure, however, it is important to remember that, if feeding with produce in the farming, the nutrient cycle is only able to last so very long without another source. You can see more here at Green Shield LLC.
The cage system requires additional time and labor to completely clean. First, it's important to get rid of the urine soaked droppings that lie under the cages. Then the floors and cages should be disinfected frequently. An outdoor system is self-cleaning as nature does the job for individuals. The urine, as already mentioned, soaks away and the droppings dry up in the sun and soil causing them to be inert. Once or twice monthly the droppings can be raked up and are prepared to be utilized for organic fertilizer.
Drinking Equipment: Sheep don't particularly like dirty water and does not drink it if this describes the truth. Making sure the watering area is clean is a must and also this would be to assist in preventing diseases which may be fatal for livestock, this is the case in particular when algae actually start to grow. A deep galvanized trough might help or perhaps a basic watering device. Water is essential to the sheep nutritional needs and it is sometimes ignored.

I have lived in Las Vegas for more than a decade. I was not born here, but I fell in love with this place shortly after I moved here. This is my home. I choose to live here, and I am not sure I will ever leave. The last few days have been such a surreal experience that is tough to put into words. I want to have words for it, but I just cannot get there…yet. I know I've been sharing some sad songs, and while the sentiment I want to share now may seem sad, its more of a love for my home. When I say Home Means Nevada, I mean it. This post is an ode to my home.
