Follow For Lost & Found Pet Advice, Happy Tails, Lost Pet Prevention Tips and More!
Posted By : Clayton G.
Are you searching for your lost pet? You've come to the right place.
Raising a ton of local awareness is key to getting back your lost family member. This guide was designed to help you do that, quickly and efficiently.
Losing a pet is a scary experience. But you won't be able to help your fur baby unless you stay calm and keep a cool head! First, take a few deep breaths.
Step 2: Use online lost & found pet resources.
Time is your most valuable resource, so don't waste it! Raising local awareness quickly is your best strategy for reuniting with your beloved pet, and the internet is the most efficient way to do this.
PawBoost makes it easy! Reporting a lost pet takes seconds. We'll send an email alert to our local members, post to the PawBoost-powered Facebook page for your area, add your pet to our lost & found, and make a lost pet flyer – all for free. You can also boost your alert to get it in front of even more people.
Make sure to check the PawBoost lost & found frequently. Over 1,000 lost & found pets are added every single day, so you want to make sure you don't miss something that could lead to a happy reunion!
Other sites that help you raise local awareness for your lost pet with minimal time and effort are Craigslist and Nextdoor.com. Both of these sites have very active lost & found sections mainly used for lost pets. We highly recommend you use these resources in addition to PawBoost!
Step 3: Visit your local animal control agencies and shelters in person.
If someone finds your pet, they may take him or her to your local shelter or animal control facility. It is important that you visit these places in person.
Many shelters are understaffed and underfunded. Do NOT expect them to contact you if your pet is taken in – even if he or she is chipped! The only way you can guarantee knowing if your pet is at a shelter is to visit that shelter in person.
Do not assume you will be contacted if your pet is taken in to a shelter – even if your fur baby is chipped!
Don't know all of your local shelter organizations? You can use Google to find them.
Try Googling the term "animal shelters near [insert city/town name here]" or "animal control near [insert city/town name here]" to see a list. Look for your local SPCA, animal control facility, pound, or Humane Society, as these are the more likely facilities your pet might end up at.
Step 4: Make sure your pet's microchip is registered and up-to-date.
Even if your pet is chipped, it won't help unless the microchip is registered and your contact information is up-to-date.
To make sure this is the case, first get the microchip number handy. If you don't know the microchip number, call your vet and they should have the number in their records.
When you have the microchip number, you can simply plug it into the AAHA's Microchip Lookup tool to determine the brand.
Once you know your pet's microchip number and the company that made it, you can make sure it's registered and the info is up-to-date by calling the company or using their website to register and/or update your contact information.
You can read more about how microchips work in this article.
Step 5: Put up lost pet flyers.
Old-fashioned missing pet flyers are still a great way to alert as many local people as possible.
Put up flyers in your neighborhood and in nearby highly trafficked locations such as grocery stores and popular businesses. Include a picture of your pet and your contact information. Make sure the text on the flyer is easily legible. If you have access to a color printer, use loud colors to make the flyer stand out.
Note the loud colors, legible phone number, and large picture of Porter in this lost pet flyer.
PawBoost creates a free, eye-catching printable flyer (8.5″ x 11″) for you when you report a lost pet. If you want an even higher impact sign, follow these tips to learn how to create an eye-catching missing poster that can be read from inside a speeding car.
Step 6: Tell your neighbors your pet is lost.
Most lost pets don't stray more than a few miles from where they went missing (although some do stray much further). Making your neighbors aware of your situation is a surefire way to increase your odds of a happy reunion.
Call your neighbors and let them know to keep an eye out for your pet. Knock on doors and hand out lost pet flyers. Walk or drive around your neighborhood regularly. Tell your postman to be on the lookout.
Another great way to get neighbors in on the search is to put a flyer in mailboxes within a two- to three-block radius. Even better, include a letter with the flyer introducing yourself and explaining your situation. People will want to help!
Most lost pets don't stray too far from their homes, so pound that pavement!
Make sure everyone you speak to has your contact information and knows what your pet looks like so they can get in touch if they find your missing pet. The more people that know, the better your chance of a happy reunion!
Step 7: Follow up on leads such as stray pet sightings or found collars/tags.
Was your pet sighted in the neighborhood 3 miles down the street? Drive there and put up missing pet flyers. Lost pets often return to the same areas. The people living there need to know who to contact the next time your pet is spotted.
Sightings can help refine the search for your lost pet.
You should also periodically return in person to the locations where your pet was sighted. The high stress situation of being lost could cause your pet to act uncharacteristically skittish. He or she may be wary of strangers, but would come running for mom or dad!
Step 8: Practice due diligence.
There is a wonderful community of pet lovers out there that want to help you find your lost pet. 99% of the time, these are the people who will contact you with leads, advice, or ideally, because they've found your pet!
Unfortunately, there are also some unscrupulous people out there that could be looking to profit from your desperate situation. You should never send money to anyone you don't know or haven't met, even if they say they have your pet.
Beware of vague, generic messages from people claiming to have found your pet. The above message came from a real scammer.
If someone claims to have found your pet, don't ask leading questions like 'Does she have a white spot on the back of her leg?' Instead, have the person provide the description. Ask them to describe something about your pet that wouldn't be visible in pictures that may have been posted. If the person fails to come up with an identifying physical attribute, this is a warning sign that they might be lying to you.
If you are absolutely confident this person has your pet, arrange to make the exchange in person and in a public place. Better safe than sorry!
Step 9: Don't give up!
Remember to never give up on searching for your lost pet, because your pet would never give up on you!
Pets are reunited with their families after missing for days, weeks, months or even years. Just read about Sebastian, who was reunited after 4 weeks missing; Marley, who was reunited after more than 6 weeks missing; or Sasha, who was reunited after 7 months!
There's a good chance your pet is being cared for by another family who couldn't find you, the pet's rightful owner. From what we've seen at PawBoost, this is among the most common scenarios.
Many people avoid taking a found pet to a shelter because they fear the pet will be euthanized, or they make incorrect assumptions about the pet's previous owners (e.g. their pet got lost so they must not care about it).
Passively waiting for your pet to come home is NOT going to help you find these people! This means you can't give up when it comes to raising local awareness.

Kemp reloads campaign coffers as he prepares for 2022
By Greg Bluestein, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Gov. Brian Kemp will report more than $12 million in his campaign account as he readies for a tough reelection fight against former U.S. Sen. David Perdue in the GOP primary and a potential rematch against Democrat Stacey Abrams in November.
The Republican's campaign said Tuesday that Kemp raised more than $7 million between July 1 and Jan. 9. His campaign manager Bobby Saparow said the haul proves the governor will "continue to outwork anyone in the field to ensure we keep Georgia red in 2022."
"These numbers affirm what we've said from the very beginning: the Kemp for Governor campaign has the resources to win the primary and in November," Saparow added.
Kemp disclosed the fundraising figures weeks ahead of the next reporting deadline because it coincides with the start of the legislative session, when the governor and lawmakers are banned from raising money.
But he'll have another avenue to collect checks during the 40-day session. He signed a Republican-backed measure last year that created a new "leadership committee" that allows the governor and a few House and Senate leaders to create funds that can raise unlimited amounts of money.
Perdue last week filed a lawsuit saying the new committees provided Kemp with an unfair advantage, since GOP challengers aren't allowed by law to create such committees until they become the nominee.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) wants you and your family to be safe when riding escalators. The CPSC estimates that there were 7,300 hospital emergency room-treated injuries from escalators in 1994. Seventy-five percent of these injuries were due to falls, another 20 percent occurred when hands, feet or shoes were trapped in escalators.
Be aware that loose shoe laces, drawstrings, scarves, and mittens can get trapped in escalators. In the past year, CPSC reached an agreement with a number of children's clothing manufacturers to remove drawstrings from the necks and hoods of children's garments. If your child's clothing still has drawstrings, remove them.
That the emergency shutoff buttons be at the top and bottom of each escalator. The button should be on the right side of the escalator when facing the stairs.
That sidewalls be made of low-friction material so soft-soled shoes cannot get caught easily.
That "skirt obstruction devices" (which sense the presence of a foreign object and automatically shut off the escalator) be at the top and bottom of the escalator.
That warning signs be placed on escalators reminding parents to hold children's hands and face forward.
That each step have painted foot prints or brightly colored borders.


Originally conceived as part of a side project for Christian Von Koenigsegg and some of his engineers, the Koenigsegg CCGT is a purpose-built GT1 Le Mans racer. Based on one of the company's production vehicles, the CCGT balances the fine line of maximizing performance while adhering to the strict Le Mans rules. Unfortunately, because of some ill-timed ACO rule changes, the car would never officially race.
In building the CCGT, Koenigsegg had to do something rather unfamiliar to the radical Swedish company: follow the rules. The ACO regulations require strict adherence to many parameters in order for cars to be able to compete in the GT1 class. Things such as the width of the car and cockpit width had to be adjusted in order to be legal for the race. In addition to the various regulatory changes, the car possesses impressive performance specs. Advanced aerodynamics mean the Koenigsegg CCGT is capable of producing over 600kg of downforce. That's a lot of down pressure, especially when you consider the car weighs under 1000kg before adding ballast.
The 5.0-litre in-house V8 was based on the CCX engine, and even with the superchargers removed, it still developed an impressive 600bhp. And, just like in the road cars, a high-tech chassis gives the CCGT tons of strength and lightness. It was that stiff carbon monocoque that would eventually doom the Koenigsegg CCGT to never race, however.
Because Koenigsegg could only devote their spare time to this project, the whole thing took many years to complete. And because of that long lag time, the ACO rules changed before the car was entered into any Le Mans races. For one thing, the advanced carbon monocoque was no longer allowed. Another deal-breaker for Koenigsegg was the new requirement that 350 production cars had to be produced every year, up from the previous requirement of just 20. So, the mighty CCGT would never race in anger, but it still lives on as a unique engineering project for Koenigsegg.
Just like Superman, Cody started his journey here on Earth in rural Kansas; the "heartland" of the USA. Even though all of the roads were flat and straight, he somehow developed a keen interest in proper-handling cars that can do more than simply set an impressive quarter-mile time. These days, when he's not shopping for cars he'll probably never buy or carving canyons in the Wasatch Mountains, Cody enjoys hiking, camping, and biking with his family.

Honeybee venom
Welcome to one of my favorite subjects. We intend to provide you the reader with accurate content.
Here on week 25, we are sharing the magical life of Bees and their products these little beings dedicate their entire life to pollinate and produce the products described in this post we wish for the information to make a difference on how you perceive Bees. Most people are afraid of them and don't like them, and we think the reason for that is that people don't know how much they benefit our Ecology and our entire wellbeing. Let's honor them by giving them the chance to know them better, enjoy and let's share it so many can benefit.
Honeybee venom is composed of two glands associated with the sting apparatus of worker bees. Its production increases during the first two weeks of the adult worker's life and reaches a maximum when the worker bee becomes involved in hive defense and foraging. It diminishes as the bee gets older. The queen bee's production of venom is highest on emergence, which allows her to be prepared for immediate battles with other queens.
When a bee stings, it does not normally inject all of the 0.15 to 0.3 mg of venom held in a full venom sac (Schumacher et al., 1989 and Crane 1990, respectively). Only when it stings an animal with skin as tough as ours will it lose its sting – and with it the whole sting apparatus, including the venom sac, muscles, and the nerve center. These nerves and muscles, however, keep injecting venom for a while, or until the venom sac is empty. The loss of such a considerable portion of its body is almost always fatal to the bee.
Used in small doses, however, bee venom can be of benefit in treating a large number of ailments. This therapeutic value was already known to many ancient civilizations and now is much documentation on its benefits.
Honeybee venom is a clear, odorless, watery liquid. When coming into contact with mucous membranes or eyes, it causes considerable burning and irritation. Dried venom takes on a light yellow color and some commercial preparations are brown, thought to be due to oxidation of some of the venom proteins. The venom contains a number of very volatile compounds which are easily lost during collection.
88% of venom is water. The glucose, fructose and phospholipid contents of venom are similar to those in the bee's blood (Crane, 1990). At least 18 pharmacologically active components have been described, including various enzymes, peptides, and amines. Detailed information on the components is available in the Krell document noted below.
(taken from Krell, R.,"Value-Added Products from Bee-Keeping,"
FAO Agricultural Services Bulletin #124, 1996)
Dried Bee venom
Bee venom, also known as apitoxin or apis mellifera. These two proteins are one of the keys to healthy skin. Collagen gives skin its elasticity and strength, and a reduction in collagen (sparked by the natural aging process) can lead to wrinkles and fine lines dan sagging skin.
Meanwhile, elastin is essential for the production of elastic fibers in the body. These small groups of proteins help to give strength and flexibility to our connective tissues all over our bodies, providing structural support for skin, the heart, lungs, and other organs.
Products made with purified bee venom can help to moisturize skin while providing so many benefits.
In most cases, application of these creams, moisturizers, masks, and cleansers will feel much like an ordinary beauty product, although it may induce some micro-swelling (light plumping) in the area as it works.
It's important to remember that if you do have a severe allergy to bee stings, it's best to seek advice from your doctor before using any products containing bee venom that is a must.
The main component in apitoxin is melittin amounting to 52 % of venom peptides.
Other components of Bee Venom are:
Apamin increases cortisol production in the adrenal gland. Apamin is a mild neurotoxin.
Adolapin, contributing 2–5% of the peptides, acts as an anti-inflammatory and analgesic because it blocks cyclooxygenase.
Phospholipase A2 amounts to 10–12% of peptides and it is the most destructive component of apitoxin. It is an enzyme which degrades the phospholipids which cellular membranes are made of. It also causes decreased blood pressure and inhibits blood coagulation. Phospholipase A2 activates arachidonic acid which is metabolized in the cyclooxygenase-cycle to form prostaglandins. Prostaglandins regulate the body's inflammatory response.
Hyaluronidase contributing 1–3% of peptides dilates the capillaries causing the spread of inflammation.
Histamine contributing 0.5–2% and is involved in the allergic response.
Dopamine and noradrenaline which contribute 1–2% increase in pulse rate.
Protease-inhibitors contribute 2% and act as anti-inflammatory agents and stop bleeding.
Tertiapin.
According to: http://www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com/NaturalFood/Bee
Honeybee venom contains at least 18 active substances. Melittin, being the most prevalent substance, is one of the most potent anti-inflammatory agents known (100 times more potent than hydrocortisol). Adolapin is another strong anti-inflammatory substance, and inhibits cyclooxygenase; it thus has analgesic activity as well. Apamin inhibits complement C3 activity and blocks calcium-dependent potassium channels, thus enhancing nerve transmission.
Other substances, such as Compound X, Hyaluronidase, Phospholipase A2, Histamine, and Mast Cell Degranulating Protein (MSDP), are involved in the inflammatory response of venom, with the softening of tissue and the facilitation of flow of the other substances. Finally, there are measurable amounts of the neurotransmitters Dopamine, Norepinephrine and Seratonin.
The composition of bee venom and its properties
Bee venom is a complex substance, the chemical composition of which are enzymes, proteins, amines (histamine, choline), volatile oils, evaporating during the drying of poison. And acids (hydrochloric, phosphoric, formic) and substances such as hormones of the adrenal cortex.
Let us consider the properties of bee venom, which he has:
– Improves fat metabolism, which in turn regulates cholesterol metabolism, reducing its concentration in the blood;
– Enhances the action of enzymes and hormones;
– Stimulates the "adrenal glands – the pituitary gland";
– Assists in the concretionary bones as facilitating this process;
– Has anti-inflammatory effects;
– Thanks to the analgesic, antispasmodic and vasodilatory action, bee venom is often used for children to relieve pain in the abdomen;
– Contains substances which lower the body temperature;
– Has a positive effect on the central nervous system;
– Strengthens the immune system;
– Has antiarrhythmic action and the ability to stimulate the heart;
– Restore the myelin sheath of nerve fibers, resulting in normal nerve impulse;
– Improves sexual function;
– Contributes to the removal of salts from the human body;
– Stimulates brain activity;
– Increases the elasticity of the connective tissue;
– Improves hearing, memory, and vision.
Thus, bee venom is a unique substance, the positive properties of which are not fully understood until now. However, the effect of bee venom is widely used in modern medicine for the effective treatment of almost all of the human body.

Honeybee venom (apitoxin) has anti-inflammatory, antifungal, antibacterial, and antipyretic properties.
It is known as an effective natural remedy for rheumatism and pain relief.
Also, it is effective against insomnia, migraine, energy, immunity, increases appetite. Generally, honey bee venom (apitoxin) is an excellent prevention against infectious diseases.
Russian scientists have discovered that honey bee venom (apitoxin) has the ability to expand blood vessels, which improves blood circulation and metabolism.
Due to irritation, at the time of bite immune system activates wherein the blood begins to circulate and stronger circulation and higher oxidation prevent bacterial growth.
Honeybee venom (apitoxin) opens capillary walls, allowing the body easily and quickly discharge of waste substances. In this way, the metabolism accelerates, and the body is filled with oxygen.
Honeybee venom (apitoxin) therapy has proven to be useful in :
arthrosis and arthritis
inflammation of nerves (neuritis, sciatica)
poor circulation
inflammation of blood vessels
wounds and scars
inflammation of the ovaries and fallopian tubes
Egyptian Bee Keeper
Therapies involving the honeybee have existed for thousands of years and some may be as old as human medicine itself. The ancient rock art in the caves of early hunter-gatherers depicts the honeybee as a source of natural medicine. Bee venom therapy was practiced in ancient Egypt, Greece, and China—three Great Civilizations known for their highly developed medical systems. Hippocrates, the Greek physician known as the "Father of Medicine", recognized the healing virtues of bee venom for treating arthritis and other joint problems he knew about it. Today, growing scientific evidence suggests that various bee products promote healing by improving circulation, decreasing inflammation, and stimulating a healthy immune response.
It is important to note that Apitherapy is not only the use of the venom for healing, often called Bee Sting Therapy, but the use of all the hive products, and usually a combination of them. These products are also sometimes mixed with other ingredients, specifically different essential oils, dependent on the condition being treated.
The more modern study of apitherapy, specifically bee venom, was initiated through the efforts of Austrian physician Philip Terc in his published results "Report about a Peculiar Connection between the Bee Stings and Rheumatism" in 1888. Bodog Beck (Budapest, Hugary 1871 – NYC, 1942) followed Terc, and brought Apitherapy to the United States. More recent popularity has been credited to Charles Mraz (1905 – 1999), a beekeeper from Vermont, who knew Beck. Some of the Board Members of the American Apitherapy Society, as well as some general AAS members, have been trained by and/or treated and inspired by Mraz. The Society's annual educational and training event, CMACC, is named for him, the Charles Mraz Apitherapy Course and Conference.
Do Bee Venom Beauty Treatments Work?
In the last couple of years there has been a lot of buzz in the press and the media about bee venom products and the benefits being gained by various actresses, celebrities and royalty using them, I personally got introduce to stover forty years ago by my mother she always used royal jelly and all Bee products. But before rushing out to buy it wouldn't you like to know just a bit more about what bee venom can or can't do for you? Always be conscientious of your tolerance to bee products, and by that, I mean allergies to bees ) Bee venom treatments aren't a new addition to beauty and health treatments, they have been around for centuries, but it's only recently that the benefits have become public knowledge and approved in safety for public use.
We are always on the lookout for products that can help us to get rid of wrinkles and fine lines or to rejuvenate our skin to its original youthful glow, and this is where bee venom creams and masks seem to play a significant role in restoring elasticity and radiance to your skin. So, the next question is, do bee venom treatments really work and will they be suitable for you? I have used them for at least a couple of decades and yes they work to be realistic that your style of life plays a huge role in the overall health and that includes your skin!!
What Are Bee Venom Beauty Treatments?
The Chinese and the Greeks used bee venom treatments for centuries, but it is only until recently that we have recognized their benefits as part of a daily beauty regimen. Aging, unfortunately for the ones that can't accept it, is a fact of life but that doesn't mean we can't take steps to ease into the process, fine lines and sagging skin. Theisa range of specialized bee venom treatments, including bee venom masks and bee venom, it's creams and even injectable form to provide the essential components to rejuvenate and restore your skin close to its former state, here let's be realistic also it doesn't do plastic surgery.
How Does Bee Venom Work?
Bee venom is a clear, odorless liquid that's injected into your skin when a honeybee stings you. It consists of more than 20 known compounds, the most prominent being melittin, a protein that boasts powerful anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, and anti-viral properties. Most products that contain bee venom act in a somewhat similar manner when placed on your skin, though the effects can vary from person to person. Basically, bee venom sort of tricks your skin and its mild irritant properties make your skin believe that it is under "attack". Consequently, your skin reacts by producing more elastin and collagen plus the blood circulation to the facial skin also increases all resulting in a healing effect. The end result is plumper, firmer and smoother skin.
Using bee venom treatments on a regular basis can result in a massive transformation of your skin. You should also make sure that you include your neck and decolletage (chest area) in your bee venom regime since it is equally exposed to sun and air pollutants and it's often overlooked. The bee venom creams can be used overnight and work on the skin even when you sleep. The bee venom masks need to be applied then left on for 15- 20 minutes before washing off with water, and you will usually feel immediate results after a bee venom mask treatment. A combined use of bee venom masks and bee venom cream will result in the cleansing, tightening, softening and nourishing of your facial skin.
What Else Should You Know About Bee Venom Treatments?
Bee venom is unique in regard to beauty benefits but a small word of caution at this point – anyone who is allergic to bee products should not use bee venom treatments. They can lead to severe reactions for some people. Always test any product before you start using it on a regular basis and then begin your journey to a permanently good-looking skin.
As skin ages, it loses its naturally-occurring collagen which results in sagging skin and fine lines and wrinkles. Sometimes referred to as nature's Botox, bee venom therapy works to reverse the effects of aging by encouraging the stimulation of natural collagen and elastin.
Applying small amounts of bee venom creams to the skin fools it into thinking it has been stung. Blood is sent to the affected area which in turn stimulates the production of collagen, which strengthens body tissue, and elastin, which helps the skin stay firm and youthful. Regular users of bee venom therapy beauty products like eye cream, venom masks, ointment and, serum can notice a number of benefits including improved skin texture and firmness, the reduction of pores, fine lines and wrinkles, and reduced pigmentation and sun damage.
It's important to reiterate that you shouldn't just squeeze the venom out of a bee and dab it on your wrinkles. The difference between a bee venom cream and an actual bee sting is the dosage. Bee venom beauty products like eye cream, moisturizer, venom mask and venom ointment contain a low-dose variant of bee venom, which means a user can still enjoy the skincare benefits it provides without actually being stung.
Bee venom by itself is excellent for an instant skin lift and plump-up, but if it's left on your skin for too long at one time, it can result in a similar reaction to an actual bee sting. To avoid the angry response while still harnessing the power of nature, bee venom is often combined with New Zealand Manuka honey. Not just famous for our organic skincare ranges, we produce New Zealand Manuka honey which is internationally recognized for its healing and overall health benefits. It has anti-inflammatory properties which help to reduce possible redness that might be caused by the application of bee venom, while its anti-bacterial benefits assist with any possible skin infection. Bee venom and New Zealand Manuka honey combos come in venom masks, eye creams, moisturizers and a wide range of cosmetics and ointments.
However, the one-star ingredient that's been gaining a steady buzz over the past few years is the use of bee venom to promote positive effects in human skin. Its inherent properties have earned it the nickname of 'nature's botox', and even Kate Middleton reportedly used a face mask with bee venom as part of her wedding preparations.
But is it safe for the bees?
from: http://www.prevention.com/beauty/natural-beauty/bee-venom-beauty-trend-killing-bees
When a bee stings a person, it dies because it no longer has its stinger. Collecting bee venom, on the other hand, is not harmful or stressful for the bees. A glass sheet is placed into the beehive along with a very weak electrical current running through it. When bees sit on the glass, the weak current encourages them to stick out their stingers and pump out a small amount of venom. As each bee releases its venom, it also releases pheromones which tell the other bees to sting the glass too. The venom sticks to the glass, which is then removed from the beehive and the venom collected and purified.
And in case you were wondering, collecting bee venom does not contribute to colony collapse disorder, the unusually high levels of hive loss reported by beekeepers beginning in 2006. That's caused by a cocktail of diseases, parasites, poor nutrition, and environmental stressors like pesticides and limited water access say the USDA. Fras has noticed that the bees he stimulates for venom even yield more honey than their non-stimulated counterparts. "I don't know if [the stimulation] has anything to do with it, but we definitely haven't seen a negative impact [on the bees]."
But even if bee venom collection turns out to be a positive for bees, know that us humans can definitely get too much of a good thing. "We've heard of people using bee venom two or three times a day, and that's not something we recommend. It's a matter of your personal preference and tolerance level, but using bee venom two or three times a week is more than enough to achieve the desired effects," says Fras.
The venom is harvested from bees without causing them any harm.
from: http://www.manukadoctor.com/purified-bee-venom
That means you can rest assured no bees were harmed in the making of your beauty product, and you can look forward to seeing the results of this wonder ingredient on your skin.
Purified Bee Venom (PBV™) is an industry first from Manuka Doctor. Because venom can contain contaminants from handling and collection, we established a process to ensure only the purest of ingredients go into our products and on your skin.
Each batch of PBV™ is tested for its composition and recorded for quality control and tracking purposes. If it doesn't meet our strict specifications for purity and toxicity testing, it is immediately rejected.
Our highly trained beekeepers undergo regular learning for quality controlled bee venom collection. Research has proven that the quality of our bee venom is of a clinical patient treatment standard. In Korea, where extensive testing of bee venom has taken place, leading researcher Dr. Sang Mi Han concluded that there is no guarantee that other bee venom sources would give the same results as Purified Bee Venom. However, the one-star ingredient that's been gaining a steady buzz over the past few years is the use of bee venom to promote positive effects in human skin. Its inherent properties have earned it the nickname of 'nature's botox,' and even Kate Middleton reportedly used a face mask with bee venom as part of her wedding preparations.
Here are some fascinating facts
The honey bee has been around for millions of years.
Honey bees, scientifically also known as Apis mellifera, are environmentally friendly and are vital as pollinators.
It is the only insect that produces food eaten by man.
Bee Venom has evolved beyond a physical defense against predators, to be a colony protector.
Honey is the only food that includes all the substances necessary to sustain life, including enzymes, vitamins, minerals, and water; and it's the only food that contains "pinocembrin," an antioxidant associated with improved brain functioning.
Honey bees have 170 odorant receptors, compared with only 62 in fruit flies and 79 in mosquitoes. Their exceptional olfactory abilities include kin recognition signals, social communication within the hive, and odor recognition for finding food. Their sense of smell was so precise that it could differentiate hundreds of different floral varieties and tell whether a flower carried pollen or nectar from meters away.
The honey bee's wings stroke incredibly fast, about 200 beats per second, thus making their famous, distinctive buzz. A honey bee can fly for up to six miles, and as fast as 15 miles per hour.
The average worker bee produces about 1/12th teaspoon of honey in her lifetime.
A hive of bees will fly 90,000 miles, the equivalent of three orbits around the earth to collect 1 kg of honey.
It takes one ounce of honey to fuel a bee's flight around the world.
The bee's brain is oval in shape and only about the size of a sesame seed, yet it has a remarkable capacity to learn and remember things and is able to make complex calculations on distance traveled and foraging efficiency.
A colony of bees consists of 20,000-60,000 honeybees and one queen. Worker honey bees are female, live for about 6 weeks and do all the work.
The queen bee can live up to 5 years and is the only bee that lays eggs. She is the busiest in the summer months when the hive needs to be at its maximum strength and lays up to 2500 eggs per day.
More significant than the worker bees, the male honey bees (also called drones), have no stinger and do no work at all. All they do is mating.
Each honey bee colony has a unique odor for members' identification.
During winter, honey bees feed on the honey they collected during the warmer months. They form a tight cluster in their hive to keep the queen and themselves warm.

Walt Disney #2 by David Garibaldi
Acrylic on Unstretched Canvas
Artists transform an empty canvas into a work of art through their skill, experience, inspiration and senses. David Garibaldi's life and transition into a world-renowned performance painter is no different. The culture and color of graffiti art served as an early inspiration for Garibaldi. Born in Los Angles, he later moved as a youth to South Sacramento. It was here that he learned to enjoy the use of his hands and body through art on "larger and somewhat illegal canvases" by painting graffiti as an angst teen. Graffiti artist and high school dropout, he was living day-by-day. The only constants in his life were music and art.
The performances he unwittingly practiced as a graffiti rebel in his garage are now on a public stage. As a performance painter, Garibaldi creates images through his body movement and brushes while communicating via music to an amazed audience. "I create images in an entraining way and my hope is to inspire the audience to use their passion to benefit and inspire others," said Garibaldi. "That is music and color. That is rhythm and hue."
For this young artist, musical inspirations include U2, Kanye West, Jay Z, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gay, The Beatles, Lady Gaga and Glitch Mob. Featured shows also include the beats of Garibaldi's exclusive DJ, Joseph One. The energy of these performances is both mesmerizing and engaging and there is nothing like it in the world. Hundreds of thousands have witnessed Garibaldi paint live by transforming a blank black canvas into pop art icons through his "Rhythm and Hue" shows. Garibaldi has performed for Fortune 500 companies including AT&T, Intel and Disney. He has also been featured at charity events for Playboy, NBA, and celebrities Snoop Dog, Santana, Tommy Lee, Dave Navarro and Blue Man Group.
Inspiration serves Garibaldi in his art and his life. "Living with passion and purpose" drives Garibaldi every day to transcend what he does as an artist into a philanthropist. A high school animation teacher first inspired him to take his passion for graffiti and turn it into a more positive and creative direction. Garibaldi never forgets this encouragement and more importantly the value of someone believing in him. Every performance is an opportunity to give back—either through teaching youth or providing resources to the community.

Stella McCartney faces trade mark battle over 'Fur Free Fur'
Stella McCartney, a vegetarian luxury brand, has been using the term 'Fur Free Fur' since 2001 for products which are typically made using a blend of sustainable materials such as modacrylic, cotton or polyester, to 'incorporate the look and feel of fur but without any animal cruelty'. However, the brand have been fighting for the term 'Fur Free Fur' for approximately two years now as McCartney's legal team attempted to register the term as a trade mark in the US Patent and Trade Mark Office. Yet, this was rejected.
An attorney from the US Patent and Trade Mark Office stated that 'Fur Free Fur' cannot serve as a trade mark due to it being merely descriptive of a feature of the goods. Trade Mark Law does not protect purely descriptive marks. According to the examining attorney "McCartney intended the connotation of the mark to be easily understood and obvious to the general public so that it would clearly convey the fact that its goods are made of material that resemble the pelt of a mammal but are not in fact made from materials from the skin of a mammal".
As expected, McCartney's counsel were unhappy with the decision, so appealed the matter to the Trade Mark Trial and Appeal Board in June 2018. It was argued that the term, 'Fur Free Fur', is not a descriptive term and is not describing the brand's products. It was suggested by McCartney's counsel that the term "obliquely suggests information about the goods" which essentially only adds additional thought on the part of the consumer.
However, last week, the Trade Mark Trial and Appeal Board's panel of judges came to a majority decision that 'Fur Free Fur' would not be seen to be a mere description of McCartney's products due to the term 'Fur', which comes around in two instances, is likely to have different meanings. The first word of 'Fur' would refer to animal fur, implying that the goods contain animal free fur. The second term of 'Fur' is likely to refer to imitation fur. Due to the different meanings of 'Fur' in the trade mark application, it suggests that the goods are both fur-free and made out of fur at the same time. This concludes that the term is not descriptive.
After two years of opposing this legal battle, Stella McCartney can continue with the application of 'Fur Free Fur' becoming a trade mark.

Stanhope, Philip (1584-1656)Charles Harding Firth1898
STANHOPE, PHILIP, first Earl of Chesterfield (1584–1656), son of Sir John Stanhope of Shelford, Nottinghamshire, by Cordell, daughter of Richard Allington, esq., was born in 1584, and knighted by James I on 16 Dec. 1605 (Doyle, Official Baronage, i. 370; Collins, Peerage, ed. Brydges, iii. 421). On 7 Nov. 1616 he was raised to the peerage by the title of Baron Stanhope of Shelford, paying 10,000l. for that dignity (Court and Times of James I, i. 426, 436). On 4 Aug. 1628 Charles I created him Earl of Chesterfield (Doyle).
When the civil war broke out Chesterfield and his family vigorously supported the king's cause. According to Lloyd, he refused to sit in the Long parliament after it declined to suppress the tumults raised in support of the popular party (Memoirs of Excellent Personages, 1668, p. 651). In November 1642 he received a commission to raise a regiment of dragoons for Charles I. About December his house at Bretby was taken and plundered by Sir John Gell (Glover, Derbyshire, App. pp. 62, 70). Chesterfield, who succeeded in escaping, established himself at Lichfield with about three hundred men, but was besieged there by Gell and Lord Brooke, and obliged to surrender (Rushworth, v. 143).
The parliament ordered him to be sent to London, but allowed him to remain a prisoner on parole in his lodgings in Covent Garden, instead of committing him to the Tower (Lords' Journals, v. 682, vi. 17, 19, 84, 511). Chesterfield's estates were sequestrated, and in November 1645 he petitioned the House of Lords for an allowance for his maintenance, alleging that his losses amounted to 50,000l. (ib. vii. 698, ix. 43). Ultimately he was granted 51. per week by parliament, and his fine for delinquency fixed at 8,698l. (Calendar of Committee for Compounding, p. 1264). Chesterfield died at London on 12 Sept. 1656, and was buried in the church of St. Giles-in-the-Fields.
Chesterfield married: first, in 1605, Catherine, daughter of Francis, lord Hastings, who died on 28 Aug. 1636. By her he had six sons. Of these John, the eldest, matriculated at Christ Church, Oxford, in November 1622, and died in July 1625 (Foster, Alumni Oxon. 1500-1714, p. 1408).
Henry, the second son, matriculated at the same time as his brother, was knighted on 2 Feb. 1626, represented Nottinghamshire in the first two parliaments of Charles I and East Retford in the third, and died on 29 Nov. 1634. His wife Catherine, eldest daughter of Thomas, lord Wotton, is noticed separately [see Kirkhoven, Catherine]; by her he left a son Philip, second earl of Chesterfield [q. v.]
Ferdinando, the fourth son, member for Tamworth in 1640, major and subsequently colonel of horse in the king's army, was killed at Bridgford, Nottinghamshire, in 1644 (Foster, Alumni Oxonienses, i. 1408; Wood, Fasti, ii. 42; Life of Colonel Hutchinson, ii. 57, 87).
Philip, the fifth son, who matriculated at Exeter College, Oxford, on 6 Dec. 1637, was killed at the storming of Shelford House, of which garrison he was commander, on 27 Oct. 1645 (ib. ii. 81, 376). Arthur, the youngest son of the first marriage, represented the county of Nottingham in the Convention parliament and in the first parliament of Charles II. From him Philip, fifth earl of Chesterfield, is descended [see under Stanhope, Philip Dormer, fourth Earl].
By his second wife, Anne, daughter of Sir John Pakington of Westwood, Worcestershire, and widow of Sir Humphrey Ferrars of Tamworth Castle, Warwickshire, Chesterfield had one son, Alexander, father of James, first earl Stanhope [q. v.]
The poems of Sir Aston Cokain, who was son of Chesterfield's sister, Anne Stanhope, contain a masque acted at Bretby in 1639, and verses on Ferdinando Stanhope and other members of the family (ed. 1662, pp. 118, 137, 187, 116*, 144*).

The present invention relates to methods and systems for assessing and diagnosing motor conditions using indices derived from computational analysis of a digitized drawing sample of a spiral. It is an improvement of the invention disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,454,706, and adds new indices and depictions thereof. Such indices may be used individually or in combinations amongst themselves or with indices disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,454,706 to evaluate and assess motor function. As such, in non-limiting embodiments, the new information may be used in diagnostic techniques relative to an expert generated standard or, alternatively, may be used to monitor a subject's function over time or as a result of treatment, where indices or their combinations are compared between drawing samples obtained from a single subject or a group of subjects. The methods and systems of the invention have application in both the clinical and research communities.
In particular, the present invention relates to a computerized system and method for clinically assessing motor function comprising correlating geometric indices, computed from digital information obtained from a geometric shape drawn by a subject to be evaluated, with a rating score derived using a "standard of reference" generated by one or more clinical expert. Interpretation is thereby rendered more objective and consistent. Furthermore, the test may be administered and interpreted by physicians who are not skilled or experienced in evaluating motor disorders, for example general practitioners or pediatricians who are not certified in the practice of neurology. The present invention therefore provides a means for evaluating persons early in the course of disease, and for screening patients for motor dysfunction or, in the case of children, disorders of motor development.
An upper extremity evaluation system includes a computer and a directly connected three-dimensional position locator which may be used by a therapist to enter data corresponding to the location of the flexed and extended joints of the hand, wrist and elbow. The computer may then utilize these dimensions in calculating angles of flexion and extension, and a degree of disability in accordance with American Medical Association standards.
Tracking instrumentation for measuring human motor control includes a load cell or potentiometer for converting a force or position to an electrical signal. An analog-to-digital converter periodically samples the electrical signal and converts it into a series of digital words representing a force amplitude value. A computer system includes a monitor for displaying a tracking element, the position of the tracking element controlled by the digital words. The computer system further includes means for displaying a tracking pattern on the monitor and plotting scaled values on the monitor superimposed on the tracking pattern. The values are plotted so that the user operating a handgrip can adjust the handgrip in an attempt to track the pattern across the monitor. The system further includes means and methods for recording and analyzing the tracking performance data and for objectively scoring the tracking data.
The invention provides a system for detection and quantification of Parkinson's disease, including a substantially planar digitizer tablet fixedly mounted on a base plate and capable of translating graphic information into digital information displayable, via a computer, as graphic information on a monitor screen viewable by the subject to be tested, and a handle to be gripped and steered by the subject. The handle is fixedly attached to, and supported by, a guide providing the handle with two degrees of freedom in translation in a plane above, and substantially parallel to, the plane of the digitizer tablet. The system further includes a stylus moving together with the handle and adapted to produce signals sensible by the digitizer tablet, and means to produce on the monitor screen a model path of a predetermined shape and size, as well as a target to be tracked by the subject, the target moving at a predetermined speed along the model path. A method for detection and quantification of Parkinson's disease is also described and claimed.
A method of performing 3-dimensional skeletal analysis on a patient using an apparatus which includes a digitizer, the digitizer being adapted to accept either a scanning digitizer tip or a point digitizer tip, includes the steps of placing the patient in a variety of positions relevant to musculoskeletal problems and performing a series of rolling scans, with the scanning digitizer tip and single point landmark digitizations of musculoskeletal landmarks, with the point digitizer tip to obtain 3-dimensional skeletal data. The data is analyzed in order to provide clinically relevant 3-dimensional information relating to musculoskeletal quantities and imbalances. An apparatus for carrying out the method includes an upright column support and a retractable column support movable along the support column for supporting the patient. A digitizer measures the position of a point, or a group of points, on the patient's body in 3-dimensional space. The digitizer includes a plurality of rotatable transducers and a plurality of link members linking the rotatable transducers. The digitizer is connected at one end to the support column and has a free end. The free end of the digitizer is adapted to accept a digitizer tip.
