More Alaskan shenanigans! That's right folks. We're headed back to that gorgeous desolate frontier for our 7th tour in the great state of Alaska. What can we say? It's just that good. So good in fact that we're bringing our friends, The Door Floor Band, along for the ride. Who is the Dirt Floor Band? I'm so glad you asked. Taken from their website: "Five Mendocino County, California dudes playing original barefoot-punk-grass; our own special blend of mutt music. Bluegrass. Electric funk jamming. Self-deprecating folk-country". They are super fun and great friends of ours. You're gonna dig it. Our Tour dates are listed below; for more info on the DFB, check out their Facebook page.
In other news, we were recently contacted by the good folks at Stern Grove, one of the largest outdoor free concert series in San Francisco, and will be a part of their 'Grove on the Road' series next month. We're very excited to be working with these promoters and have put together a special 6 piece band for the event, which will be in Noe Valley on June 1st.
Oh, and did we mention that the episode of 11th and Grant that we recorded last year for Montana PBS was nominated for 3 Regional Emmy Awards? Congrats to the amazing crew; your talent and hard work deserve this recognition. Wish we could be there to pop some corks with you.
We're working feverishly on some new music and hope to have something for you soon. In the meantime, come check us out at one of our many shows around the Bay Area this Spring/Summer. We're working with some incredibly talented musicians and are bringing new instrumentation to our music! Hope to see you out there on that long dusty road. Cheers friends!

We have a number of other Bozeman shows, as a duo. Please check out our "tour dates" above. Cheers!
We are honored to be on 11th & Grant with Eric Funk, a PBS affiliate which features a different Montana artist or group of artists each week throughout its season. It airs on Thursday, November 21st at 7pm. We filmed the show this summer and it was a first for us. We entered a gorgeous studio with Adam Greenberg (drums), Sean Lehmann (upright bass), Stefan Stern (grand piano), and Tony Vaughn (trumpet) and started playing our tunes in the soft light. Several cameras on long mechanical necks smoothly swung around in the dark, just before our faces. And when the song finished, there was a solid, dark silence.
Normally this is a bad sign for musicians.
But it makes sense for a TV show in which the songs will be intermixed with seated interviews. It makes sense when you're playing in a dark room completely devoid of audience members and some nice guy comes out of the dark to say "And…that's a wrap, well done." It quickly became a comfortable silence.
The production crew for 11th and Grant welcomed us with such professional grace that it was easy to feel at home in an otherwise foreign environment. This was nothing like playing a show in a normal venue. But everyone there was so good at their jobs, and so happy to be there themselves, that it felt like a great club we got to be a part of for a day. We spent the whole day doing this and then spent a different day doing interviews with Eric Funk, the show's host, in the top of a half-demolished building at a different location. We can't wait to see the final product! And it is a special honor to be picked for the first show of the season.
Here's how you can see it. On the broadcast day of the show (November 21st), around 7pm, the program will be available for online viewing anywhere in the country here: http://watch.montanapbs.org/program/11th-and-grant/. There is also an 11th & Grant Facebook page that is already promoting the show at: https://www.facebook.com/11thAndGrant. The official show site is: http://www.montanapbs.org/11thGrantwithEricFunk/episode903/. For those who are in Montana, you can watch the show on PBS on Thursday 11/21 at 7pm, Saturday 11/23 at 9:40pm, and Monday 11/25 at 3:00am for the truly die hard fans. We hope you can catch the show!
Thanks again to everyone at 11th and Grant with Eric Funk for treating us like stars and having us start their season of shows!
As the days grow longer and temperatures begin to climb, we begin preparing for our 5th Alaskan tour. It's absolutely amazing that the great state of Alaska hasn't seen fit to tar-and-feather us, drag us behind a snow machine, or use us as sport fishing bait, but instead continually invites us back for more late night debauchery. We can't wait to see all of our Alaskan friends (you know who you are), play with some of our favorite musicians (we know who you are), and perform in some of our favorite venues (everybody knows who you are).
Sunday, May 26th – AJ's Old Town Steakhouse and Tavern. Homer, AK. 6:30pm.
Wednesday, May 29th – AJs Old Town Steakhouse and Tavern. Homer, AK. 6:30pm.
Saturday, June 1st – The Kingfisher Roadhouse. Cooper Landing, AK. 7pm (I think).
Sunday, June 2nd – The Yukon Bar. Seward, AK. 9pm.
Tuesday, June 4th – House Concert. Palmer, AK. Email us for details.
Wednesday, June 5th – Prospector's Pizza. Denali, AK. 7pm.
Thursday, June 6th – 49th State Brewing Company. Denali, AK. 7pm.
Sunday, June 9th – The Fairview Inn. Talkeetna, AK. 9pm (Full Band).
After that, it's back to the Bay for more great shows in Northern California before we hit the road for some summer fun in Oregon and Montana. Stay tuned!
We hope this fall has been treating you well and offering up an abundance of cheer. We are happy to report we have landed in San Francisco after reaping the benefits of autumn holidays with friends. Apparently we've been having too much fun in the city to take pictures. It was the pork store or a laundromat.
After much deliberation and organization, we found a place to hole up in the Mission while we rehearse with new band-mates for our Bay Area gigs. But first, we open up for our dear friends, The Dirt Floor Band, in Ukiah the day after Thanksgiving!
***11/24/12. Local Edition. 9pm-12am. All Bay area gigs will feature Sascha Jacobsen on upright bass, David Dieni on drums, and our new trumpet-playing sailor friend, Steve Stanley.
***12/12/12. Blondies Bar and No Grill. 9:30pm-1am. Voted "the Best of the Bay to get your date drunk off of one drink" by the Bay Guardian. That's our kind of classy!
***12/14/12. Half Moon Bay Brewing Company. 7-10pm.
Up next, we will return to Montana for a winter of hot-toddy-induced song writing and a bunch of shows in Bozeman and the Big Sky Ski Resort. We will also do a week long tour in Arizona over New Year's! Then we plan to return permanently to the Bay Area in March and put some city roots down.
For now, here's a photo-journal of the glorious, sun-filled autumn we thoroughly enjoyed. We hope this cyber note finds you warm and healthy and surrounded by loved ones. And don't forget: If you're hosting tons of family and you're already all talked out, just take them to a loud live show in a small local bar. Everybody wins!

Juan Carlos Ferrero Net Worth Income Profile and Salary
Juan Carlos Ferrero Net Worth Income Profile and Salary. (Ontinyent, Valencia, 1980) Spanish tennis player. Juan Carlos Ferrero was born on February 12, 1980 in the Valencian town of Ontinyent, son of Eduardo Ferrero and Rosario Donat, the woman who has most influenced his life. She has two older sisters, Ana and Laura. The name was imposed by the mother in tribute to King Juan Carlos I.A coach in the shade. His father was an accomplished practitioner of sport. For that reason, from the age of four, he played football, basketball and, above all, the frontenis against one of the walls of the textile company Confecciones Ferrero, a blanket factory owned by his progenitor, who soon became his pure tennis coach , Until Antonio MartínezCascales, also coach of the Russian Marat Safin, replaced him at eleven years. The latter, seeing him one day with Don Eduardo, was enthralled with his technique, and assured him that if he went with him to Villena (Alicante), he would make him a champion.

These successes attracted the attention of the most prestigious coaches and training centers of elite athletes, but Juan Carlos, unlike most tennis players, rejected an offer from the best coach in the world, the American Nick Bolletieri, owner of an academy of Which has emerged the strongest champions and champions of the last decade (as Andre Agassi), and another of the High Performance Center (CAR) of SantCugat (Barcelona).
In 1996, after proclaiming herself runner-up in the youth world, her mother died. At the age of sixteen the world collapsed into a deep depression and cornered the rackets until his father and his sisters convinced him that the best way to remember and honor Dona Rosario was to dedicate his victories. Little by little he came to his senses.
Thus, in 1997, still affected by the disappearance of his mother, he won the I TrofeoMarcaPromesas prize. The following year it debuted like professional after proclaiming champion of Europe and the World in juvenile category. That 1998 season, however, "unfairly" lost the final of Roland Garros junior against Chilean Fernando Gonzalez.
In 1999 he made a big break, won his first professional title on September 19 (the Mallorca Open against his friend ÀlexCorretja, who claimed that a star was born) and ended the season, which had started being 341, ranked 43rd in the ATP ranking.
In April 2000 he made his debut with the Davis Cup team against Russia in Malaga and swept Yevgueny Kafelnikov and Marat Safin off the court, considered to be the great promise of world tennis. That year he would finish the game winning his two individual matches in the Davis Cup final against Australia, he would be runner-up of the Dubai tournament and semi-finalist at Roland Garros, where he was eliminated by who would be the champion of the tournament, the Brazilian Gustavo Kuerten. He finished the season in the 12th position of the ATP.
On May 19, 2001 he beat the Spanish record of consecutive victories by adding 16, which surpassed in one the record that SergiBruguera had. That season was fifth in the race of champions, after winning the CondeGodó, the tournaments of Rome, Estoril, Dubai, Gstaad and Hamburg, and to reach the semifinals of the Masters and of Roland Garros.

In 2002 it continued its projection and consolidated like a tennis player of elite, after proclaiming champion of the Montecarlo Open and of the Hong Kong tournament, that dispute the best tennis players of the moment. In addition, was runner-up of Roland Garros before Albert Costa and the tournament of Kitzbuehel. It finished in the fourth place in the world ranking.
In 2003, after proclaiming himself a champion of the Valencian Community Open and Montecarlo, he played tennis for the first time on 8 June, winning the first Grand Slam trophy for Roland Garros. After eliminating in the semifinals to the reigning champion, his friend Albert Costa, in the end faced the great revelation of the tournament, the Dutchman Martin Verkerk, a giant that had based his arrival until the end in a demolishing service that made him add a Unusual aces number on clay. In the final Verkerk did not measure up, he committed many double faults and Ferrero won in three comfortable sets 6-1, 6-3 and 6-2, an improper result of the event.
It is noteworthy that his step for the fourth consecutive year to the semifinals after defeating the Chilean Gonzalez (which returned the ball after having eliminated him in the 1998 final), was a milestone that had only reached five other players in the long History of Roland Garros: Swedes Björn Borg (1978-1981) and Mats Wilander (1982-1985), Czech Ivan Lendl (1984-1987) and American Jim Courier (1991-1994).
On September 6 Ferrero achieved a new feat to reach the number one in the world ranking, after beating Andre Agassi in the semifinals of the US Open, but then lose the final.
The personality of a champion
Familiar, faithful to his own and loving tranquility and speed (in his private park has a Porsche 911, a Mazda RX8, a BMW M3, a Mitsubishi, a Renault Spider and an Aston Martin), has turned Villena (Alicante) , Where he moved to work after meeting his lifelong trainer, in his resting place. There he is among friends, among teenagers from fourteen to twenty-one years old, who, with the construction of the Equeliteschool in October 2001 (where he is staying in a bungalow when he is not traveling) is helping to achieve his dream.
He loves motorcycle races (he is very close to SeteGibernau), cinema, play station play and browse the tennis pages on the Internet. He is an accomplished madridista, to the point that, on December 19, 2000, the president of Real Madrid imposed the golden badge and brilliant of the capital club. But even if it seems contradictory, he also feels sympathy for Valencia, F. C., and for F. C. Barcelona, whose president gave him a club shirt signed by the squad after winning the Davis Cup.

She loves to dance (a photograph of her dancing at age twelve with the now sex symbol Anna Kournikova is part of popular imagery) and all types of music, including classical music, and among her favorite singers are Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston and Mariah Tortoiseshell. Among the Spaniards is Decanta by Manolo Garcia.
His relationship with the coach and his trainer, Miguel Maeso – who also works on the Pamesa basketball team – is so close that the three launched in 2003 the adventure of consolidating an ATP tournament whose director is Maeso , In the city of Turia. Perhaps thanks to all this comes another Ferrero who takes the witness of this Valencian and sure of himself, who has overcome his initial shyness since he made his professional debut in 1998, when he was already given three nicknames: Mosquito, Chavalito and Junaqui, Which is the one that has been consolidated.

Could A Supplement called MSM Be The Answer?
Acid reflux or gerd (gastroesophageal reflux disease) is a condition in which fluid splashes up from the stomach into the esophagus. This fluid contains mostly acid with some pepsin and bile. All three of these fluids are potentially dangerous to the sensitive esophageal tissue, with acid being the most harmful. This refluxed fluid can inflame and damage the lining of the esophagus (esophagitis). If this condition is allowed to become chronic, it can in time develop into Barrett's esophagus, which is the precursor of esophageal cancer.
Up to 15 million Americans experience acid reflux daily. People at all ages are susceptible to this condition. Older people who suffer from acid reflux tend to be more seriously affected than younger people. 13,000 people are diagnosed with esophageal cancer each year. At least 12,000 people die from it. The overall survival rate is very poor. Acid reflux is the greatest known risk factor for developing Barrett's Esophagus, which can become esophageal cancer.
Barrett's esophagus occurs when chronic acid reflux or esophagitis is not controlled. Through constant inflammation and damage, the normal cells that line the esophagus called squamous cells turn into specialized columnar cells. Columnar cells are not normally found in human beings and can become cancerous.
Although this can happen to anyone, it usually occurs in people over forty who have had regular bouts of heartburn for more than five years. Some of the symptoms are difficulty in swallowing and being awakened in the night by the pain of heartburn. Some people have no symptoms at all.
Scar tissue can develop from the constant attack of acid on the tender lining of the esophagus. The tissue can become thickened and hard, making the esophagus narrower. This can make it difficult to swallow food or even water.
I am a firm believer in natural cures versus conventional medicine. When I go to a doctor it is for diagnostic purposes only. Then, instead of subjecting myself to a barrage of harmful pills and painful procedures, I attempt to cure the condition myself by using alternative methods. I have found that MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) has the ability to soften scar tissue, making it flexible and permeable. I believe that by taking MSM on a regular basis, one can possibly avoid the severe problems associated with chronic acid reflux.
MSM has been touted as the greatest natural healing agent since vitamin C. It seems to have the power to reduce pain and inflammation. It is currently being used to treat a wide range of ailments including, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis and gout. It's even being used as a treatment for snoring and constipation. MSM has been used with great success on horses and dogs, to control the inflammation associated with allergies.
I use MSM to relieve the summer allergies of my twelve year old Jack Russell Terrier, Jack Pot. It works like magic. By giving him a gram of MSM in a little cheese twice a day, I have reduced his itching and running eyes, which are associated with air born allergies, to a bare minimum.
I also use MSM drops for my eyes. It evidently has the power to reduce, if not prevent, cataracts. It seems to dissolve them. My mother had cataracts in both eyes. She had one removed by her ophthalmologist. When she told me what she had one, I put her on MSM drops immediately. When she went back to the doctor for her pre-surgery exam for the second eye, they discovered that the other cataract had completely disappeared.
Aren't cataracts a form of scar tissue? I believe that scar tissue and Barrett's Esophagus have an important connection. Therefore, if MSM does, in fact, have this beneficial effect on scar tissue, perhaps it can prevent, or at least improve Barrett's esophagus. Maybe MSM can help prevent this kind of cancer? I don't know, but I will continue to take it rather than to subject myself to so called "modern medicine".
If you should choose to go the allopathic medical route, diagnosis of Barrett's Esophagus involves an endoscopy. The doctor sticks a long mechanical tube down your throat to observe the esophagus and perform a biopsy. It can't be a very pleasant procedure. And what if the results are negative? The doctor will most likely prescribe drugs which have harmful side effects. Some of these drugs include H2 blockers like cimetidine, ranitidine, and famotidine. Or he may prescribe the drugs omeprazole and lansoprazole, which are proton pump inhibitors.
Some of he side effects of these drugs are: headache, disturbances of the gut such as diarrhea, constipation, nausea, vomiting or abdominal pain, excess gas in the stomach and intestines (flatulence), dry mouth, skin reactions such as rash and itch, inflammation of the skin (dermatitis), dizziness, pain in the muscles and joints, swelling of the legs and ankles due to excess fluid retention (peripheral edema), pins and needles (paraesthesia), depression, agitation, confusion, difficulty sleeping (insomnia), sleepiness (somnolence), liver or blood disorders. The list goes on and on.
If the drugs don't work then he'll most likely suggest a surgical procedure called fundoplication, which entails removing the damaged part of the esophagus and attaching the remaining section to the stomach.
For myself, I will continue to search for and experiment with natural cures for acid reflux. I think that perhaps the medical approach could be worse than the disease itself.
I was a victim of acid reflux for many years. I had disappointing experiences with doctors, who knew nothing about nutrition or alternative medicine. Basically, doctors only know how to write prescriptions. They know nothing about healing. They are only taught how to treat symptoms by dealing drugs that support the pharmaceutical industry.
The Proton pump inhibitors, which my doctor prescribed, ultimately didn't work for me. Besides the harmful side effects caused by these drugs, no one really know what the long tern affect of them is on the human body.
Since conventional medicine didn't help me, I was highly motivated to explore alternative means of healing myself. After much research and experimentation, I did find natural ways which allowed me to ultimately cure my acid reflux condition. MSM was one of them.

Duncan Phillips Lecture
Register for access to Zoom information.
Throughout much of The Phillips Collection's 100-year history, this museum and Black art spaces and artists in Washington, DC, were not in conversation with one another. In this lecture, Elizabeth Alexander will discuss the dynamism of DC's Black art spaces and artists over the past 100 years, and how we might more deeply engage with the past, present, and future.
Dr. Elizabeth Alexander—poet, educator, memoirist, scholar, and cultural advocate—is president of The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the nation's largest funder of arts, culture, and the humanities. She has held distinguished professorships at Smith College, Columbia University, and Yale University, where she helped rebuild the school's African American Studies department while serving as its chair. She is Chancellor Emeritus of the Academy of American Poets, a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and serves on the Pulitzer Prize Board. Dr. Alexander composed and delivered "Praise Song for the Day" for the inauguration of President Barack Obama in 2009, and is author or co-author of fourteen books, including American Sublime, a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in Poetry in 2006, The Light of the World, a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in Biography in 2015.

Bank of Baroda Education Loan is a diversified scheme of education finance which helps all students to pursue higher education. The BoB Education Loan services are divided into several categories for clarity of instructions and ease of application. Education Loans with Bank of Baroda provide options for no/less processing fees, freedom from margin payment and convenient interest rates. Bank of Baroda is one of the few education loan providers which provide scholastic education loans as well. In times when school education is also touching the heights of economic expenses, Bank of Baroda services are a relief for both students and parents.
Bank of Baroda education loans are based on low interest rates for all applicants. BoB interest rates for education loan are generally based on standard additions on base rate or MCLR rates. Students need to keep a close eye on these conditions and the latest developments to get the least expensive education loan and maximum benefits. Here is the list of MCLR rates and interest rates (ROI) for different schemes at Bank of Baroda.
Eligibility of any education loan scheme should be as detailed as the applicant's current academic level. For Bank of Baroda, the vividness of the services ensures that each student loan scheme covers students from all academic levels and all institutional affiliations. Bank of Baroda also covers gender-based eligibility for providing education loan interest rate subsidies to girl students for higher education.

Evening Courses approved by State/Central Govt.
Professional Courses like CA, ICWA, CS, CFA etc.
Also, read "Education Loan for Study Abroad" to find more information about various loan schemes, top banks providing student loans for study abroad and other such schemes.
Students with complete information of eligibility might still need to know more details about loan schemes to plan the education loan repayment well. The eligibility of various tax benefits and subsidies is also decided by these external factors like moratorium period, margin payment, collateral requirement and repayment tenure. Here is the list of all these peculiarities for Bank of Baroda education loan.
One of the most important factor to consider while applying for an education loan is to know whether all the academic expenses will be covered or not. Students applying for education loan often find themselves at loss of funds even after getting loans sanctioned. Expenses such as the cost of international entrance exam like SAT, LSAT, GMAT, GRE, TOEFL, IELTS etc., and students' expenses like hostel fees and VISA application fees for study abroad, must be covered by an education loan. For promoting the ambition of higher education among youth, Bank of Baroda covers all such expenses through its education loan services and then some.
Education Loan trick: Education Loan sometimes do not cover academic expenses which are necessary but not listed in agreement. Research expenses and participation fees for international exchange visits are seldom covered by any of the banks. Apply for international and national research scholarships to cover such expenses. Grants provided by organizations no longer bind the researcher in work contract and there are many such options available around.

Gut Microbiome Could Help Predict Advanced Fibrosis in People With Chronic Liver Disease
Gut bacteria Istock
Newsfeed • Science News
A distinct set of microbes sets apart people with advanced fibrosis from those with minimal fibrosis.
August 14, 2020 • By Sukanya Charuchandra
People with chronic liver disease and advanced fibrosis have a distinct pattern of microbes in their gut compared with those who have little to no liver fibrosis, according to study findings published in Scientific Reports.
"Microbiome composition was distinct in liver patients with advanced fibrosis compared
to those with minimal fibrosis and healthy controls," author Jonathan Jacobs, MD, PhD, of the University of California, Los Angeles, and colleagues wrote.
Chronic liver disease affects 840 million people around the world with 2 million deaths every year. In the United States, deaths from chronic liver disease went up by 65% and deaths from liver cancer doubled between 1999 and 2016.
Recently, researchers have sought to determine the impact of the gut microbiome on the features of chronic liver disease, with associations having been found in people with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and primary sclerosing cholangitis.
Since advanced fibrosis is a predictor of morbidity and mortality linked to liver disease, researchers have sought to identify biomarkers for fibrosis within the gut microbiome. Scientists have found unique patterns in the gut microbiome of people with cirrhosis caused by hepatitis B, hepatitis C, NAFLD,and alcoholic liver disease. But links between other causes of chronic liver disease, fibrosis and the microbiome have yet to be determined. So the research team aimed to find out whether certain microbial patterns would help predict fibrosis in people with varying causes of chronic liver disease.
The researchers collected stool samples from 50 people with chronic liver disease treated in the Veterans Administration Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System between June 2017 and June 2018. This group included people with underlying conditions like chronic hep C, chronic hep B, liver disease due to chronic alcohol use, primary biliary cholangitis, primary sclerosing cholangitis, Wilson's disease, autoimmune hepatitis, hemochromatosis and NAFLD. The reference population included 25 healthy people.
The fecal samples were subjected to a type of analysis called 16S ribosomal RNA sequencing that helps to identify and differentiate between closely related bacteria. Using a particular classification model, researchers were able to separate people with advanced fibrosis from those with the mild or moderate stage. The findings were then checked against a different cohort of people with chronic liver disease caused by NAFLD, hep C, hep B or alcohol use who were seen at the VA center between January 2019 and October 2019. Diet information was also noted for this group.
The researchers found that the variety of microbes in the gut of people with advanced fibrosis were widely different from those in participants with little to no fibrosis or healthy individuals. Those with advanced fibrosis had lower amounts of the genus Bacteroides and higher levels of the genus Prevotella—especially the species Prevotella copri, which was a strong predictor of advanced fibrosis across various causes of chronic liver disease.
Moreover, they also found that different causes of chronic liver disease were associated with different microbial patterns in the gut. For instance, those with chronic hep C and advanced fibrosis had fewer bacteria from the order Clostridiales and the family Ruminococcaceae and higher numbers of an undefined species from the family Rikenellaceae, two undefined species in the genus Bacteroides and an undefined species in the genus Dialister. Those with NAFLD and fibrosis were more likely to have their gut lined with Prevotella copri, an undefined species in the family Ruminococcaceae and one in the family Rikenellaceae, among other species.
The researchers admit that the single-center nature of the study, the multiple variables under consideration and the limited variability in cases that represented different causes of chronic liver disease all limited the study. But the team proposed that these differences in the gut microbiome, present in stool samples, could be used to pinpoint people with advanced fibrosis.
"There is a distinct microbial signature for patients with advanced fibrosis independent of liver disease etiology and other comorbidities," wrote the researchers. "These results suggest that microbial profiles can be used as a noninvasive marker for advanced fibrosis and support the hypothesis that microbes and their metabolites contribute to hepatic fibrosis."

Saturday was a long night with Shiraz my poodle girl having puppies and it rained right through the night, we have three red healthy poodle pups.
A terrible start to the day I let everyone out just after 6 am in the rain, all fed and cleaned out.
Coosa's group went up to the top kennel area in the dry with food.
The rain persisted until 11 am so I cut up the chicken and spent time on the internet with adverts and emails.
When it finally dried up I went out and picked up in the drive and then let everyone out for a run.
Everyone fed and then it dried up for most of the afternoon.
I had lots of time to spend with Shiraz and the puppies, also with Jez and her pups.
I spent a couple of hours on the net researching materials for my new dog room when the house is finished my plan now is to get the dogs room done first before anything else, I plan to get Brian and Wendy to help me clear it out ready when they visit on the 19 th of January.
Everyone in and fed and the morning feeds done and then I went over to my sisters for a while or dinner and to see my cousin and boys as they are here for a short stay from Australia.
We had a really nice evening and then I came home and let Cito and Shone out and checked on Shiraz and the puppies they were all doing well.
Still raining everyone got wet when they went out for a quick toilet stop, nearly all the dogs got fed in their kennels.
It was dark and wet and I am trying to pick up in the drive before the builders arrived.
After the builders were in I locked up the gates and gave everyone a good run and then off to the vets for an op on one of the little dogs, I dropped off the dog and then home to let everyone out again and do the lunch time feeds.
I went back mid-afternoon to pick up my boy and then let everyone out and fed them.
My next job was off to the station to pick up my niece as she had to go to London for an interview for a stolen passport, after picking her up I went to my sisters for a late dinner.
All the dogs done and a really busy morning as I had 4 people here; picking up puppies.
After they had left I got the lunch time feeds ready for Kate and then went off to see Sophie and Laura.
We had a nice afternoon and then home for a puppy leaving at 6 pm.
We wormed and vaccinated a couple of pups and then Kate left.
I fed Shone and Cito and then sorted out paper work.
A hectic day doing the dogs and then a meeting with the builders, and then another meeting with building control.
All day was constant phone calls and sorting out materials for the house.
I was so pleased when 5 o'clock came we went out for dinner.
Everyone out and done early as I had a list of things to sort out for the builders, and needed to look into flooring.
All the dogs stayed out for most of the day.
Lunch time feeds done and then the afternoon they were all out I went to the dentist and then brought the groups in and swapped around the next three groups out.
I did the evening feeds and then the morning feeds done ready.
Everyone done so I hosed the yard and picked up in the drive.
Washing all done, I left dogs out and then popped into town and picked up meat.
I got home and sorted out some bits for the builders.
I spent the rest of the day with each group of dogs as it was nice and the sun was shining so I wanted to make the most of it.
Razzle mated lupi, I am looking forward to these pups as this is the first time these two have been put together.
I took Shiraz, Elsa, Olli, Jez and Noir out on the drive for a while and did some lead work and training with Noir, he is doing really well.
I got the evening feeds ready and then brought Cito and Shone in.
Coosa's group went out in field two so it makes it easier to get them in later I don't have to walk up the field in the dark, so they had an extra hour out and then came in and had food.
All the rest of the dogs had their last run on the drive before bed time.
I woke up not hearing rain I was pleasantly surprised as the forecast was terrible for today.
I got everyone out for a good run and all cleaned out.
I had mountains of paper work to sort out so I got as much done as possible before boredom set in.
I cut up the chicken ready for lunch time as I was expecting the rain to come by then.
Everyone had to come in at 1 o clock as the rain was heavy now and most got fed in the kennels.
I brought Noir into the office with me for a while.
Everyone got out for a run in the afternoon and then the rain came again with a vengeance so I brought Cito and shone in and then brought Coosa's group down for food.

Mistreatment is Common Among LGBTQ Surgery Residents
By Melissa Rohman on	 Dec 2, 2021
Yue-Yung Hu, MD, MPH, assistant professor of Surgery in the Division of Pediatric General Surgery and senior author of the study published in JAMA Surgery.
U.S. surgical residents who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or other sexual and gender identities (LGBTQ+) reported higher rates of mistreatment in their training programs compared to their non-LGBTQ+ peers, according to survey results published in JAMA Surgery. The findings underscore the need for the development and implementation of interventions that create more inclusive learning environments.
"The first step is awareness, which hopefully we're creating. Once we recognize that it's an issue and that the issue has a name, hopefully we can start to work on it," said Yue-Yung Hu, MD, MPH, assistant professor of Surgery in the Division of Pediatric General Surgery and senior author of the study.
Hu's previous work explored the mistreatment and wellbeing of U.S. general surgery residents, finding that nearly one in five experienced frequent bullying in their residency programs. The experiences of surgical residents who identify as sexual and gender minorities, however, has remained understudied.
For the study, voluntary and anonymous surveys were sent to all U.S. general surgery residents training in the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education–accredited general surgery programs following the 2019 American Board of Surgery In-Training Examination. Of the more than 6,300 total respondents, 4.8 percent identified as LGBTQ+.
The survey asked residents about their experiences with mistreatment, the sources of mistreatment, their perceptions of learning environments, career satisfaction, burnout, and thoughts of attrition and suicide.
Overall, the investigators found that residents who identified as LGBTQ+ reported higher rates of discrimination, sexual harassment and bullying compared to non-LGBTQ+ respondents, with attending surgeons as the most common source of mistreatment. Notably, discrimination was reported by 59.2 percent, harassment by 47.5 percent and bullying by 74.8 percent of LGBTQ+ residents.
LGBTQ+ residents were also twice as likely as to their non-LGBTQ+ peers to report considering leaving their residency program or have thoughts of suicide.
The findings are a call for U.S. general surgery programs to address mistreatment behaviors and their sources through targeted interventions that create safer and more inclusive learning environments for LGBTQ+ residents, according to the authors.
"It's not just about wellness, it's also about representation and cultural competence. Diversity also impacts patient care, and in order to achieve diversity we need inclusion. Every specialty has their issues, and I think it's important as a specialty to own that and want to move forward," Hu said.
Co-authors include Evan Heiderscheit, a fourth-year medical student, and Karl Bilimoria, MD, '08 MS, '10 GME, the John Benjamin Murphy Professor of Surgery and Vice Chair for Quality in the Department of Surgery.
This work was supported by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education, the American College of Surgeons, the American Board of Surgery, and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality grant 5T32HS000078.

Luke Rockhold Wants To Fight Fabricio Werdum, Werdum Responds
Former UFC Middleweight Champion Luke Rockhold would like to fight former UFC Heavyweight Champion Fabricio Werdum.
Rockhold would like to settle an old beef with the heavyweight fighter and he's willing to change weight classes in order to make the fight happen.

"Everyone's steaming over this new fight I brought up: I think me and Werdum have got some old beef from Strikeforce," Rockhold said on UFC Tonight. "He's a guy I've always wanted to fight. I've thought it, through, and I like the style matchup. Given what's going on in the middleweight division right now – screw that. I'm coming to heavyweight. Let's do this."
The former UFC champion appeared on MMA Junkie Radio to go into further detail about his issues with the Brazilian.
"Fabricio didn't really have respect for people at the time (of Strikeforce). I'm not going to get into it, throw him under the bus too bad, but he pretty much was being a piece of (expletive) that night, and I demanded some respect. I was a young Strikeforce challenger at the time. And he was like, 'Who the (expletive) are you?' And he treated me like a piece of (expletive). He was just being a dick, and I stood up for myself, and he tried to act like I was being the bad guy. Ever since, he just kind of said some (expletive), and I don't really have respect for the guy. I respect him as a fighter, he's tough, and he lays it out there. He's earned respect in that manner, but outside of that – meh. I'd fight him in a heartbeat. I think I'd beat him too. Easy."
Upon hearing the comments from Rockhold, the former UFC Heavyweight Champion issued quite the response.
"I only fight people, I don't fight chickens," Werdum told MMA Fighting. "He's just promoting himself because he knows nobody is talking about him. I'm one step away from the belt. Why would I fight a chicken?"
Rockhold hasn't competed since losing the middleweight gold to Michael Bisping at UFC 199, while Werdum hasn't fought since a win over Travis Browne at UFC 203.

Appendix C—Medical surveillance guidelines for ethylene oxide (nonmandatory).
(1) Route of entry: Inhalation.
(2) Toxicology:
(a) Clinical evidence of adverse effects associated with the exposure to EtO is present in the form of increased incidence of cancer in laboratory animals (leukemia, stomach, brain), mutation in offspring in animals, and resorptions and spontaneous abortions in animals and human populations respectively. Findings in humans and experimental animals exposed to airborne concentrations of EtO also indicate damage to the genetic material (DNA). These include hemoglobin alkylation, unscheduled DNA synthesis, sister chromatid exchange chromosomal aberration, and functional sperm abnormalities.
(b) Ethylene oxide in liquid form can cause eye irritation and injury to the cornea, frostbite, severe irritation, and blistering of the skin upon prolonged or confined contact. Ingestion of EtO can cause gastric irritation and liver injury. Other effects from inhalation of EtO vapors include respiratory irritation and lung injury, headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dyspnea and cyanosis.
(3) Signs and symptoms of acute overexposure:
(a) The early effects of acute overexposure to EtO are nausea and vomiting, headache, and irritation of the eyes and respiratory passages. The patient may notice a "peculiar taste" in the mouth. Delayed effects can include pulmonary edema, drowsiness, weakness, and incoordination. Studies suggest that blood cell changes, an increase in chromosomal aberrations, and spontaneous abortion may also be casually related to acute overexposure to EtO.
(b) Skin contact with liquid or gaseous EtO causes characteristic burns and possible even an allergic-type sensitization. The edema and erythema occurring from skin contact with EtO progress to vesiculation with a tendency to coalesce into blebs with desquamation. Healing occurs within three weeks, but there may be a residual brown pigmentation. A 40-80% solution is extremely dangerous, causing extensive blistering after only brief contact. Pure liquid EtO causes frostbite because of rapid evaporation. In contrast, the eye is relatively insensitive to EtO, but there may be some irritation of the cornea.
(c) Most reported acute effects of occupational exposure to EtO are due to contact with EtO in liquid phase. The liquid readily penetrates rubber and leather, and will produce blistering if clothing or footwear contaminated with EtO are not removed.
(4) Surveillance and preventive considerations:
(a) As noted above, exposure to EtO has been linked to an increased risk of cancer and reproductive effects including decreased male fertility, fetotoxicity, and spontaneous abortion. EtO workers are more likely to have chromosomal damage than similar groups not exposed to EtO. At the present, limited studies of chronic effects in humans resulting from exposure to EtO suggest a causal association with leukemia. Animal studies indicate leukemia and cancers at other sites (brain, stomach) as well. The physician should be aware of the findings of these studies in evaluating the health of employees exposed to EtO.
(b) Adequate screening tests to determine an employee's potential for developing serious chronic diseases, such as cancer, from exposure to EtO do not presently exist. Laboratory tests may, however, give evidence to suggest that an employee is potentially overexposed to EtO. It is important for the physician to become familiar with the operating conditions in which exposure to EtO is likely to occur. The physician also must become familiar with the signs and symptoms that indicate a worker is receiving otherwise unrecognized and unacceptable exposure to EtO. These elements are especially important in evaluating the medical and work histories and in conducting the physical exam. When an unacceptable exposure in an active employee is identified by the physician, measures taken by the employer to lower exposure should also lower the risk of serious long-term consequences.
(c) The employer is required to institute a medical surveillance program for all employees who are or will be exposed to EtO at or above the action level (0.5 ppm) for at least thirty days per year, without regard to respirator use. All examinations and procedures must be performed by or under the supervision of a licensed physician at a reasonable time and place for the employee and at no cost to the employee.
(d) Although broad latitude in prescribing specific tests to be included in the medical surveillance program is extended to the examining physician, WISHA requires inclusion of the following elements in the routine examination:
(i) Medical and work histories with special emphasis directed to symptoms related to the pulmonary, hematologic, neurologic, and reproductive systems and to the eyes and skin.
(ii) Physical examination with particular emphasis given to the pulmonary, hematologic, neurologic, and reproductive systems and to the eyes and skin.
(iii) Complete blood count to include at least a white cell count (including differential cell count), red cell count, hematocrit, and hemoglobin.
(iv) Any laboratory or other test which the examining physician deems necessary by sound medical practice.
(e) If requested by the employee, the medical examinations shall include pregnancy testing or laboratory evaluation of fertility as deemed appropriate by the physician.
(f) In certain cases, to provide sound medical advice to the employer and the employee, the physician must evaluate situations not directly related to EtO. For example, employees with skin diseases may be unable to tolerate wearing protective clothing. In addition those with chronic respiratory diseases may not tolerate the wearing of negative pressure (air purifying) respirators. Additional tests and procedures that will help the physician determine which employees are medically unable to wear such respirators should include: An evaluation of cardiovascular function, a baseline chest X-ray to be repeated at five year intervals, and a pulmonary function test to be repeated every three years. The pulmonary function test should include measurement of the employee's forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume at one second (FEV1), as well as calculation of the ratios of FEV1 to FVC, and measured FVC and measured FEV1 to expected values corrected for variation due to age, sex, race, and height.
(g) The employer is required to make the prescribed tests available at least annually to employees who are or will be exposed at or above the action level, for thirty or more days per year; more often than specified if recommended by the examining physician; and upon the employee's termination of employment or reassignment to another work area. While little is known about the long-term consequences of high short-term exposures, it appears prudent to monitor such affected employees closely in light of existing health data. The employer shall provide physician recommended examinations to any employee exposed to EtO in emergency conditions. Likewise, the employer shall make available medical consultations including physician recommended exams to employees who believe they are suffering signs or symptoms of exposure to EtO.
(h) The employer is required to provide the physician with the following information: A copy of this standard and its appendices; a description of the affected employee's duties as they relate to the employee exposure level; and information from the employee's previous medical examinations which is not readily available to the examining physician. Making this information available to the physician will aid in the evaluation of the employee's health in relation to assigned duties and fitness to wear personal protective equipment, when required.
(i) The employer is required to obtain a written opinion from the examining physician containing the results of the medical examinations; the physician's opinion as to whether the employee has any detected medical conditions which would place the employee at increased risk of material impairment of his or her health from exposure to EtO; any recommended restrictions upon the employee's exposure to EtO, or upon the use of protective clothing or equipment such as respirators; and a statement that the employee has been informed by the physician of the results of the medical examination and of any medical conditions which require further explanation or treatment. This written opinion must not reveal specific findings or diagnoses unrelated to occupational exposure to EtO, and a copy of the opinion must be provided to the affected employee.
(j) The purpose in requiring the examining physician to supply the employer with a written opinion is to provide the employer with a medical basis to aid in the determination of initial placement of employees and to assess the employee's ability to use protective clothing and equipment.
