A 28-year-old woman, a known case of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), was admitted with mucocutaneous ulceroerosive lesions with blisters and thrombocytopenia after taking antidepressant mirtazepine. Exacerbation of SLE and drug-induced eruption was diagnosed. Clinical and laboratory markers were suggestive of Stevens-Johnson syndrome. This is a rare adverse effect of the newer generation antidepressant mirtazepine.

Bhasin A, Gurtoo A, Gupta L, Aggarwal G. First case of mirtazepine-induced Stevens-Johnson syndrome from India. Indian J Pharmacol [serial online] 2012 [cited 2023 Jan 28];44:656-8. Available from: https://www.ijp-online.com/text.asp?2012/44/5/656/100411
Mirtazepine, an antidepressant, increases noradrenergic and serotonergic neurotransmission in the central nervous system. [1] Increased appetite, vivid dreams, weight gain, drowsiness, dizziness, and headache are known adverse drug reactions due to mirtazepine. However, cutaneous drug reactions induced by mirtazepine are extremely rare and not reported from India. [2]
The present case was a known patient of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE); mirtazepine was prescribed for depressive illness. However, 15 days following intake of the drug, she developed exacerbation of mucocutaneous lesions.
A 28-year-old woman, a diagnosed case of SLE, presented with complaints of fever with chills followed by swelling and confluent erythema and edema involving lips and oral mucosa progressing to blistering and ulceration [Figure 1]. The lesions were extremely painful and accompanied with dysphagia. Diffuse erythema of the skin progressed over days into purpuric vesicles, target lesions, individual lesions less than 3 cm in diameter with a regular round shape and well-defined border over the whole body. The lesions started over the face and thorax before spreading to other areas. Multiple petechial lesions were noted over bilateral upper limb, lower limb, and trunk, along with facial erythema and oral crusting ulcers. No significant history of exposure of sunlight could be elicited. Intermittent high-grade temperature was recorded, and the urine output was 500 ml/day. Tachycardia was present, though blood pressure and other vitals were maintained. The patient had thrombocytopenia, with high ESR (74 mm in the first hour) and hypoproteinemia. Mild anemia and elevation of blood urea nitrogen and transaminases were noted. Urine examination showed leukocyte esterase negative, RBCs 40-60/ HPF, casts nil, no active urinary sediments, and 24 h urine protein of 274 mg/dL. CRP was positive. ANA was 2+ speckled, negative dsDNA, nRNP/Sm (4+), Sm (4+), anti-SSA (Ro52 4+). C3 was negative. Blood, wound, and mucosal cultures were negative for pathogens. No history of recent febrile illness could be elicited.
The patient had been started on mirtazepine, 15 mg once a day a fortnight back for depressive symptoms. Since investigations ruled out active lupus and the positive drug history of mirtazepine administration, the diagnosis of SJS secondary to mirtazepine was made in consultation with the dermatology department. Adequate supportive care including wound care, fluid and electrolyte management, nutritional support, ocular care, temperature management, pain control, and monitoring for superinfections was provided to the patient. After 48 h of stopping the drug, the patient started showing signs of improvement and was subsequently discharged after 2 weeks of supportive inpatient care.

Stevens-Johnson syndrome More Details (SJS) is a rare mucocutaneous blistering disorder of considerable severity. Its more severe form is called toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN). [3]
Mirtazepine is an antidepressant which increases noradrenergic and serotoninergic neurotransmission in the central nervous system. The intrinsic score of imputability of mirtazapine, according to the French pharmacovigilance criteria was _C2S2_ with a suggestive causal link. Mirtazapine is derived from mianserin and shows chemical structural similarities with other psychotropic drugs, such as clozapine, and certain tricyclic antidepressants. Thus, the patient should avoid using the causal agent, i.e., mirtazepine as well as its structural congeners such as mianserin, clozapine, and tricyclic antidepressants. [1]
SJS has a polyetiologic pattern, drugs being the most frequently implicated [Table 1]. [4] Other risk factors for SJS include HIV, viral infections, genetic factors, vaccination, graft versus host disease, malignancy, and idiopathy. [4] Patients are at a greater risk of this type of drug reaction during the first 4 weeks of therapy, particularly between 1 and 3 weeks. When SJS develops within a few days or after months of starting a drug, a causal link is less convincing. [3]
Table 1: Drugs causing Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal
necrolysis
There is no standardized laboratory test to confirm drug etiology. Identification of the causative agent relies primarily on history, as skin testing and in vitro tests are usually not useful, and exposure tests are deemed ethically unacceptable. Occasional reports describe positive lymphocyte transformation tests; however, lack of infrastructure and the cost and poor predictive value outweighing the clinical advantage have rendered these tests to be virtually useless. Hence, identification of the initiating event is based on the evaluation of probability, considering both the nature of the pharmacological agent and the temporal association with the clinical onset of the disease process. [3]
Majority cases begin with a week or two long prodrome of fever, malaise, and nonspecific symptoms. This is followed by burning sensation, edema, and erythema of the lips and buccal mucosa and widespread skin lesions. Initially erythematous macules are seen, which rapidly develop central necrosis with vesicles, bullae, and denudation on the face, trunk, and extremities. Mucosal erosions typically occur in at least two sites including bulbar, oral, nasal, anorectal junction, vulvovaginal region, and the urethra. Involvement of the respiratory and gastrointestinal tract may follow in complicated cases. [5]
The clinical differential diagnosis of SJS includes erythema multiforme, viral exanthems, ampicillin-induced rash, morbilliform drug eruptions, fixed drug eruptions, staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome, Kawasaki disease, acute graft-versus-host disease, and SLE. [3],[6]
SJS has been known to be more common in patients with multisystem disorders, particularly those of autoimmune etiology. [3] Numerous case reports have surfaced highlighting occurrence of SJS in patients with SLE. [7],[8] This could probably be attributed to underlying immune mechanisms which remain unexplored yet. In our case, coexistence of both the possibilities led to diagnostic dilemma. However, the complete clinical and laboratory picture, temporal association, as well as the final response to drug withdrawal favoured the diagnosis of SJS. In most cases, active SJS as well as SLE presents as leucocytoclastic vasculitis on biopsy specimens. Lack of consent rendered biopsy impossible; however, since biopsy is not mandatory for clinical diagnosis, SJS was considered to be the primary pathology and mirtazepine was deduced to be the etiologic factor due to its temporal association with the onset of the symptoms and improvement of symptoms following drug withdrawal. Mirtazepine intake was the only significant preceding event that could be elicited. [3]
Hence, this case study brings to light SJS as one of the side effects of mirtazepine which till now has been infrequently reported worldwide with no published report from the Indian subcontinent.

Endoparasites: Entomopathogenic Nematodes
September 6, 2021 February 25, 2018 by I Love Veterinary
1 Intestinal Nematodes
1.1 Ascarids (Roundworms)
1.2 Hookworms
1.3 Whipworms
2 Non-intestinal Nematodes
2.1 Heartworms
2.2 Lungworms
2.3 Subcutaneous worms, oesophageal worms and threadworms
2.4 Eyeworms
Entomopathogenic Nematodes are considered to be the most numerous multi-cell organisms on the planet. The phylum Nemata contains over 20.000 classified species. Structurally they are simple organisms.
Adult forms of the organism are comprised of around 1.000 cells, most of them as a part of the digestive system. Nematodes possess digestive, excretory, reproductive and nervous systems and lack circulatory and respiratory systems.
The 'tube within a tube' phenomena refer to the long alimentary canal extending from the mouth of the parasite to the anus (anterior end). They can range from 0.3 mm to over eight meters in size.
We will take you back to those parasitology classes by describing the most relevant Nematode species in the animal kingdom. For the purpose of simplifying the article and making it easy to use we divided them into two categories, intestinal and non-intestinal, and subsequently in genuses.
Intestinal Nematodes
Ascarids (Roundworms)
Toxascaris leonina is a parasite whose infestations usually result in asymptomatic illness. They can be found everywhere in Europe and the final hosts are dogs, cats, and foxes.
The infestation occurs by ingestion of embryonated eggs present in the soil or paratenic hosts larvae. For cats, there is a pre-patent period of 13 weeks, eight weeks in dogs, and a patent period of four to six months both for dogs and cats.
Toxascaris leonina eggs can be detected using the flotation method using between three to five grams of feces. There is a risk of zoonosis, especially in children. <strong>Toxocara canis </strong>can infest dogs and foxes as final hosts causing asymptomatic to moderate illness manifested with cachexia, intussusceptions or intestinal blockage. In pups there is a pot-bellied appearance. Hosts get infested by ingesting embryonated eggs from fur or soil or ingesting larvae present in milk or paratenic hosts. Vertical transmissions also occur. The pre-patent period varies 3-5 weeks and depends on the time of infestation (pre or post-natal) and the route of infestation, while the patent period is 4-6 months. Again, children are at greatest zoonotic risk and diagnosis is determined by performing flotation tests using 3-5 g of fixed or fresh feces.<iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fendoscopieveterinara%2Fvideos%2F1718683765093106%2F&show_text=0&width=560″ width="800″ height="700″ frameborder="0″ scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen">
Toxocara cati can be found in cats as final hosts and the infestation is due to ingestion of embryonated eggs present in soil and larvae from milk and paratenic hosts.
The infestations can result in asymptomatic cases or can cause intestinal symptoms due to intestinal blockage and intussusceptions. Young kittens suffer from cachexia, occasional pneumonia and are presented with pot-like bellies.
The Pre-patent period is six weeks and the patent period is between four to six months. Even though they can be transmitted to humans, the risk is lower than Toxocara canis. An identical flotation method is used for the detection of eggs.
Ancylostoma caninum, also known as dog hookworm can cause acute or chronic illness with diarrhea (sometimes bloody), anemia, and weight loss in dogs and foxes.
The ingestion of third-stage larvae (L3) from the environment or milk/paratenic hosts larvae is one way of transmission, but percutaneous infestation has also been reported. Detection of eggs is performed by using the standard flotation method.
Ancylostoma tubaeforme infects cats resulting in chronic or acute signs of diarrhea, bloody diarrhea, anemia, and weight loss. The parasite can be predominantly found in Europe and isn't a threat to human health.
Uncinaria stenocephala has cats, dogs, and foxes as final hosts. Ingestion of embryonated eggs from soil and larvae from paratenic hosts results in a disease with acute or chronic gastrointestinal clinical signs (diarrhea, weight loss).
The pre-patent period is three to four weeks and the patent period varies depending on the immunological status of the final host.
The last representative of intestinal nematodes is Trichuris vulpis. Mild infestations are usually asymptomatic, but heavy cases can cause illness manifested with diarrhea, weight loss, and anemia.
Dogs that ingest embryonated eggs present in the environment are the final hosts. The pre-patent period lasts for about eight weeks followed by long a 18-month patent period.
Non-intestinal Nematodes
Dogs and foxes as final hosts for Angiostrongylus vasorum get infected by ingesting infective larvae present within mollusks or paratenic hosts. The patent period of up to five years follows a pre-patent period of 40-49 days.
Initially, the disease is asymptomatic after which generalized respiratory signs are apparent with cough, tachypnoea, and dyspnoea in most cases. Other pathologies include coagulopathy and neurological signs. Sometimes sudden death occurs without initial respiratory signs.
A serological test for detecting Angiostrongylus vasorum is commercially available. Other diagnostic methods used are the Baermann method for detection of live larvae using at least four grams of feces and microscopic larvae detection from bronchial lavage.
Dirofilaria immitis occurs rarely in cats and the transmission of the infective 3rd stage larvae is via an intermediate host (mosquito). The pre-patent period lasts approximately eight months and most of the time the infections are asymptomatic.
Once the worms reach the heart, acute respiratory and circulatory symptoms appear with coughing, tachycardia, and tachypnoea. The definitive diagnosis of heartworm can only be done by a combination of serological tests, hematological tests with echocardiography, and thoracic radiography.
Even though reported, human infections rarely occur.
In dogs, Dirofilaria immitis has a pre-patent period of 120-180 days and a patent period of several years. Mild infections result in asymptomatic disease, but severe infections may pose a serious threat to the dog's life and can prove to be fatal.
Between five to seven months after infection, the initial clinical signs appear coughing, dyspnoea, and lack of stamina. The disease can develop into a chronic form manifested through 'Caval syndrome', tachycardia, tachypnoea, and frequent coughing.
Detection after concentration of microfilaria using Difil or Knott's Test 180 days after infections shows great diagnostic results. Serological antigen detection 5 months after infection can potentially have 100% sensitivity if at least 1 female worm is present.
Read more about Heartworm resistance here.
Lungworms
Aelurostrongylus abstrasus is generally prevalent in stray cats (final hosts) that get infected by ingesting an intermediate host. Most of the cats show no signs of illness, and the clinically apparent cases experience exercise intolerance and respiratory symptoms.
The patent period is several years and the pre-patent period lasts between seven to nine weeks. Bronchial lavage larvae microscopic detection and the Baermann method are used as diagnostic tools.
Capilaria spp. can cause asymptomatic to fatal diseases in dogs, cats, and foxes depending on the specific parasite species and quantity in the organism. The infection occurs by ingestion of infective larvae from the environment followed by four weeks of pre-patent and 10-11 months of patent period.
Capilaria hepatica causes hepatic lesions and usually has fatal outcomes and Capilaria philippinensis damages the small intestine resulting in fatal enteropathy. The infections are generally discovered during routine autopsies. C. hepatica, C. philippinensis, and C. aerophila can infect people.
Final hosts for Crenosoma vulpis (fox lungworm) are dogs and foxes that get infected by ingesting larvae present in mollusks and paratenic hosts. The parasite generally affects the respiratory system with corresponsive clinical signs. Microscopic evaluation of bronchial lavage and Baermann methods are used for detecting larvae.
Filaroides hirthi infects dogs by an unknown route of transmission and potentially inflicts respiratory symptoms (coughing, exercise intolerance). The pre-patent period lasts 10-18 weeks and there is a lack of information regarding the patent period.
Diagnostic methods for the detection of larvae are the Baermann method and bronchial lavage microscopic evaluation.
Oslerus osleri is directly transmitted orally from bitches to pups in dogs and foxes. The usual respiratory signs are apparent and besides bronchial lavage and feces evaluation, endoscopy and radiography are useful for diagnosing.
Subcutaneous worms, oesophageal worms and threadworms
Dirofilaria repens infects cats, dogs, and other carnivores and is transmitted via mosquitoes (cutaneous infection). The pre-patent period is up to 34 weeks followed by several years of patent period.
Even though mostly asymptomatic, cutaneous lesions sometimes occur. The diagnostic methods are the same as for the previous Dirofilaria species using a two to four ml EDTA blood sample. There is a zoonotic risk and infections result in subcutaneous nodules in the conjunctiva.
Spirocera lupi (oesophageal worm) infections can cause alimentary disruptions in dogs, cats, foxes, wild dogs, and wild cats. Many cases are without clinical signs and the ones clinically apparent exhibit vomiting (with worms in the content) and difficulty swallowing.
Endoscopic and radiographic images show granulomatous lesions inside the esophagus.
Infections with Strongyloides stercoralis in dogs, cats, and humans as final hosts, resulting in bloody diarrhea, severe dehydration, and sometimes death. The route of transmission is by ingestion of embryonated eggs from fur and soil, ingestion of larvae present in milk and paratenic hosts, and also vertically.
In people, the parasite causes several forms of the disease: chronic intestinal syndrome, subcutaneous lesions, mild transient form, and neurological illness. The pre-patent period is short (nine days) and the patent period ranges between three to 15 months.
Eyeworms
Thelazia callipaeda is transmitted onto dogs and cats via arthropod vector. The patent period lasting few months to a couple of years follows a pre-patent period of about three weeks.
The infections result in epiphora and blepharospasms. The material used for the detection of adult forms of the parasite and larval stages is tear film taken from the surface of the conjunctiva.

Over at Alex on Film I've spent the last few months watching gangster movies. Or crime movies. Or tough-guy movies. Pick your label. I've included links below to my notes on all the ones I covered. The dates tell a story. The golden age was the 1930s, and for a couple of decades after that the genre virtually disappeared, only to be revived by the New Wave and the New Hollywood. In later years style would overwhelm substance, turning the gangster into a fashionable form of costume drama (The Untouchables, Public Enemies). I've included a lot of the greatest hits, as well as some less well-known gems that are worth searching out (Caliber 9 being perhaps the best of these). Other titles on the list include some that are, in my eyes, wildly overrated (Once Upon a Time in America) or just terrible (Savages). Enjoy!


Children should be encouraged to snack between meals, and can be very beneficial. Snacking on the right foods is not harmful. and can have health benefits for kids of all ages. Snacking during the school day improves both mood and motivation, and may also impact concentration. and increase their energy to complete any tasks at hand.
I hope you find my "grab and go" snack suggestions helpful. nowadays we are all super busy and think that eating healthy is either too expensive or will take too long . Just remember all it takes is the right snacks and a little planning to assure that you will keep healthy snacking a priority.


We could say a lot of things about our company, but at the end of the day it only matters what our customers say. Please read some of our heating & air conditioning service reviews.

Simply click which service you have an account on below to leave us a review. Thanks so much for taking the time to review your experience with Air Now!
I moved to El Dorado county a couple of years ago and was surprised by the number of HVAC companies in the area. We have a home with two seperate hvac systems - upstairs and down - and the previous owner took pretty good care of them. We found a company to do semi-annual tuneups on the systems and knew that with a 17 year old home, we might be living on borrowed time, HVAC system-wise. After company #1 failed to return calls to schedule that spring tuneup, I called Air Now, based on all these great Yelp reviews and made a date for checking out my AC systems for the coming summer. Kirk showed up on time and assessed that my systems were sound and did his routine testing and tweaking (technical HVAC industry terminology I've picked up) and assured me that my systems, properly maintained, would not go south on me soon. I asked him to give me a ballpark estimate for that day when I wake up to no heat or no cooling and he provided that to me in a couple of days. I compared it to another quote from a very large company I had contacted and Air Now's quote was THOUSANDS of dollars less for similar systems. Now honestly, I wouldn't know a compressor from a capacitor. This is not my field of knowledge. But I trust Kirk and I trust his company to do the right thing and not rip me off. That may be the most important attribute to working with any home services vendor.
We were in need of upgrading our furnace and air conditioner, I called and spoke with Kimberly and set up an appointment for an estimate the next day. Kirk arrived on time and Kimberly had called and informed me he was on his way, we received an estimate and Kirk was straightforward on what was needed and what wasn't we agreed with the estimate and Kirk said they would get permits and be back to start and complete the job, Kirk and Sean worked smoothly together and professionally and the whole install was done the same day. This is an Excellent business to contract with for hvac work!
Great company to do business with. I had to move my air conditioner unit out of the way then back a month later. They we're very fair on their price some of the big name services wanted triple the amount and wanted to charge for a estimate. When I need a new air or heater this company will get my business.
Came out promptly on a Saturday. Thorough, fast repair at reasonable cost. No selling what wasn't needed.
Kirk Mills just repaired my Smart Vent with some spare parts and great ingenuity! Another company wanted to replace the entire damper system. It was great to find some one who can actually repair a piece of equipment, not just replace.
Kirk also serviced my furnace and I will have him come again in the spring to service my AC.
I've had Air Now fix my HVAC unit when it died. They didn't try to sell me on any unneeded parts or fixes. I also contacted them when I could not get my HVAC to cool the second story of my home. Kirk came out, came up with a couple different plans of attack, and let me choose one that I thought was best. Kirk and crew came out and completed the work and the system now works great. Kirk fixed the mess that had been my incorrectly installed ducting!!
If you need HVAC work done give this business a call.
Extremely delighted with the service! Kirk was very comprehensive in evaluating my AC and it's components. He even educated me on how the systems and components worked which is extremely valuable knowledge and demonstrates his years of experience and pride in his skill. Thank you for great customer service Kirk!
I have written less than a handful of glowing positive reviews on companies over the past 30 years of doing both commercial and residential and development because in my opinion companies should only get a positive review if they have exceeded your expectations. This company deserves one. The owner came out and looked at my project and figured out the most economically feasible and efficient way of handling it. He offered me only what I needed rather than the other guys who wanted to upgrade everything and convince me the rebates would offset all the additional equipment. He was on target in everything he was suggesting because I know this business pretty well just not the heating and air-conditioning details like he does. He was HONEST, straightforward, friendly, and his work was impeccable and he left the place perfectly clean. He knew I was in a pinch and needed this done right away and within 24 hours already had a bid and had me on his schedule. The job was actually done two weeks before anybody else even suggested they could come out. I recommend them to the highest possible level for any residential owner needing heating and/AC service, repair, or replacement.
Very professional, rapid response, excellent value and I am happy with the work.
When our old AC went out and the temp in our house was 90 plus degrees Air Now was the only company that responded quickly to our predicament. Within a day they had inspected the old unit, given us a fantastic quote for a new one, and had the new unit installed and up and running a few days later. Communication during the whole process was excellent. They were extremely professional and customer friendly. We can't thank them enough and we highly recommend them.
All too often people complain about service: however, I want to compliment Kirk Mills for the excellent service provided to me while responding to my request for a quotation. Mr. Mills, while responding to a request for a new A/C unit, climbed on the roof and checked out my present heat pump that was not working properly due to a faulty internal fan. I recently had another vendor perform my yearly (under contract) preventive maintenance last week and was advised that i need a new unit because the fan and its board were faulty; the $2,000 dollar to repair the fan and board was not economically justifiable since the unit was 10 years old. A new unit from this vendor would cost $9740 plus tax for a four ton, 16 SEER, air conditioner. Mr. Mills noted that the board had all low settings which reduced the air flow out of the unit. He corrected the settings and the present unit works fine now; a new unit is not required. Whether someone tampered with the board, or the board was set wrong at the factory, the problem should have been noted years ago by the vendor who I paid good money to perform preventive maintenance for the last five years. When preventive maintenance was performed last April, the present unit was working. I certainly appreciate the cost savings of $9,700 and would highly recommend the services of Air Now to anyone needing a new heat pump or service on same.

Rob Oller | Bryson DeChambeau shows off his go-for-broke swing at Memorial Tournament
Rob Oller
roller@dispatch.com
Bryson DeChambeau would be John Daly if he had majored in barefoot beer-swilling instead of physics. If he knew nothing instead of trying to know everything. If Hooters were his favorite hangout spot. And if he smoked Marlboros instead of Bridgestones.
Other than those tiny differences — ahem — the two blonde bombers are pretty much alike. At least off the tee, where their calling card is/was being able to hit a golf ball the length of three football fields.
During the opening round of the Memorial Tournament on Thursday, DeChambeau powdered his 5.5-degree Cobra King Speedzone driver (Branding!) a mesmerizing 423 yards on the par-4 first hole at Muirfield Village Golf Club.
He had 46 yards left to the pin. You can pick your jaw off the floor now.
"I sometimes can't believe it. There were years where I hit 5-iron into that hole, and now I'm hitting a 30-yard little shot," he said after shooting a 1-over-par 73.
At the 17th hole, DeChambeau smacked his drive, watched it climb toward the jet stream and ordered his Bridgestone Tour BX golf ball (Branding!) to "sit down" for fear it might end up in the creek 437 yards away. It came to rest 30 yards short.
DeChambeau's straight-armed Moe Norman-ish golf swing is a sight to behold, if your eyesight is strong enough to track 350-yard drives.
Just as challenging is tracking with DeChambeau as he describes air density, body mass — the 26-year-old has added 30 pounds the past six months to weigh in at 240, still 40 pounds short of Daly as his heftiest — and his 200-mph ball speed that would win the Indy 500.
But there are enough times — here, again, is where he and Daly become one — when the No. 7-ranked player in the world speaks plainly and honestly.
"I would say as time went on, I just realized that I've really got nothing to lose, and what if I could hit it just as far as the longest players out here but hit it straighter," DeChambeau said, explaining his reasoning for switching full time to the go-for-broke swing he calls "the Kraken."
DeChambeau, despite having five PGA Tour wins entering 2020, also became bored with playing it safe.
"I kind of get tired of playing the same game over and over again," he said. "My game that I was playing, I wanted to just spice things up a little bit and see if I could make an impact."
He has. In his own way, DeChambeau is trying to change the game like Daly did nearly three decades ago, when Big John burst onto the scene by winning the 1991 PGA Championship with his "grip it and rip it" style of golf. DeChambeau is more "analyze it and rip it," but the concept is similar: Hit your first shot as far as you can so your next shot with a shorter iron becomes easier.
Not everyone agrees with the approach, or the player who is promoting it. There is murmuring on tour — or tweeting, in the case of Brooks Koepka, who enjoys ribbing DeChambeau on social media — that the Kraken is overrated.
Dustin Johnson addressed whether he might follow DeChambeau's lead and go all-in off the tee.
"Until I feel like I need to hit it further to compete or beat these guys, then that's what I'll do," Johnson said. "But for right now I feel like if I'm playing my game, he can hit it as far as he wants to, and I don't think he's going to beat me."
Alrighty then. Except DeChambeau is beating people. His shtick with a stick has resulted in seven consecutive top-10 finishes, including a win two weeks ago at the Rocket Mortgage Classic, where he averaged 351 yards off the two measured driving holes.
Jealousy is afoot, no doubt, as is a purist view that bomb-it-then-bunt-it is hurting golf.
DeChambeau is good for the game, as Daly was. True, the latter is much more of a character, while the former is more about marketing his character (creating and protecting his brand is big with Bryson), but neither is a cardboard cutout. Thank goodness.
DeChambeau may not be your cup of tea, but at least he's not lukewarm water.

Conclusion In this work, experiments were carried out to purify the protein with COX activity, using an anti-mouse COX-2 pAb and a COX activity assay as tools for monitoring the protein responsible for this activity in the parasite. Gp63 enrichment through the affinity column and identification by MS, together with immunoprecipitation with a commercial anti-gp63 mAb, and detection of COX activity with a recombinant gp63, undoubtedly showed that L. mexicana gp63 is the enzyme responsible for cyclooxygenase activity in this parasitic protozoon.

Introduction Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic, progressive and fibrosing interstitial lung disease [1], in which normal lung parenchyma is progressively replaced by altered extracellular matrix (ECM), and alveolar architecture is destroyed, leading to decreased lung compliance, disrupted gas exchange, and ultimately respiratory failure, and death [2,3]. IPF occurs worldwide and its prevalence appears to be increasing. The incidence of IPF has a range of 2.8–9.3 cases per 100, 000 person-years as estimated. Its prevalence is higher in North American and Europe (3–9 cases per 100, 000 person-years) than that in South America and East Asia (fewer than 4 cases per 100, 000 person-years) [1,4]. IPF is a quintessential aging-related disease because it occurs primarily in elderly with a median diagnosis age at 65 [5]. Aging-related mechanisms, such as genomic instability, telomere attrition, epigenetic alterations, mitochondrial dysfunction, and cellular senescence, have been proposed as a potential pathogenetic driver for the onset of IPF [6]. To date, the cause of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is unknown, and no pharmacologic therapies have been shown to improve survival [7]. Cellular senescence is a permanent 25-hydroxyvitamin d3 and proliferative arrest, triggered by telomere attrition, DNA damage, and genomic and proteomic instability that plays a role in several complex biological processes, such as development, tissue repair, aging, and age-related disorders [8]. Senescent cells undergo growth arrest, and importantly, they retain viability and have metabolic activity, such as morphological transformation, activation of P16INK4a and P21, increase in senescence-associated β-galactosidase (SA-β-Gal) activity, and changes in dominant senescence-associat ed secretory phenotype (SASP). This event includes abundant cytokines and chemokines [9,10]. Mounting evidence has emerged that cellular senescence might be detrimental to IPF patients, and elimination of senescent cells might be beneficial for the treatment of IPF [11,12]. Though the mechanism underlying the cellular senescence has so far been mediated through interplay of multiple pathways, accumulating data has displayed that tumor suppressor protein 53 (P53) that modulates cell cycle, DNA damage response and apoptosis, could regulate cellular senescence [[13], [14], [15]]. However, whether the P53 could regulate cellular senescence in pulmonary fibrosis remains unexplored. Lung fibroblasts, as the predominant effector cells, play a vital role in the development of pulmonary fibrosis [16]. In response to various stimuli, quiescent lung fibroblasts are activated and trans-differentiate into myofibroblasts, producing large amounts of ECM, pro-inflammation cytokines, and profibrotic factors. Intriguingly, senescent fibroblasts overexpress α-SMA to exhibit a myofibroblast-like phenotype [17], and secrete lots of profibrotic factors to enhance the pulmonary fibrosis [18]. Thus, the development of new strategies to mediate senescent fibroblasts might be important for the treatment of pulmonary fibrosis. It has been reported that prostaglandin (PG) E2, as the major prostanoid in the lungs, is an important anti-proliferative and anti-fibrotic lipid mediator in pulmonary fibrosis [[19], [20], [21], [22], [23]]. In IPF patients, levels of PGE2 was reduced, due to the failure to up-regulate the expression of key inducible enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 [24,25]. Studies performed on the mechanism for the antifibrotic actions of the fibrinolytic pathway demonstrated that plasminogen activation exerted anti-fibrotic effects in pulmonary fibrosis via COX-2/PGE2 synthesis pathway [26]. Moreover, COX-2 was involved in the occurrence of cellular senescence [27,28]. While, there is still a lot of room to investigate the regulation of COX-2 on senescent fibroblasts in pulmonary fibrosis.
So what can we glean from this illuminative

The study showed that this drug which has been used to treat breast cancer can also help prevent it, especially in women in high-risk categories. However, the drug can also have side effects, such as blood clots and endometrial cancer. They stressed that women and doctors must weigh these risks and that the drug should only be taken by women in high-risk categories.

Social Work Educators as White Allies?
An Integrative Literature Review
Michael Massey The Catholic University of America
Kynai Johnson Catholic University of America
White Allies, Social Work Edcuation, Antiracism
White educators represent the majority of social work faculty. Current research suggests that many White social work educators are not prepared to address racism in classroom discussions and model antiracist behavior. An integrative literature review was conducted by the co-authors—a White man and Black woman, both social work educators—to examine how recent literature characterizes the "White ally" educator and explore concepts designed to prepare White faculty for purposive action to dismantle White Supremacy. Integrative review is a methodology used to summarize empirical/theoretical literature to provide a comprehensive understanding of a phenomenon. Twenty-two articles met inclusion criteria for this review. The analysis involved two steps: First, a synthesis and integrative model of the literature on educators as White allies. Second, an application of the critical race theory concepts interest convergence and anti-essentialism. The integrative model of the White ally educator suggests a White identity process; necessitating critical self-reflection and multi-level, antiracist action. Critical examination of the literature troubles the concept of "White ally," pointing to the potential re-centering of Whiteness. Further research is needed to help social work educators recognize racism in their work and prepare future social workers to engage in antiracist social work practice.

State Roundup, April 20, 2017
by Cynthia Prairie | Apr 20, 2017 | State Roundup | 0 |
MIXED LEGISLATIVE OUTCOMES FOR BLACK CAUCUS: The Maryland Legislative Black Caucus ended the 2017 session with mixed outcomes for their priority legislative agenda. The General Assembly passed legislation on prescription drug affordability and a ban on pre-kindergarten suspension. But the House failed to vote on controversial medical marijuana legislation before time ran out. And a bill regarding bail did not get to the floor of that same chamber, Brianna Rhodes of the Capital News Service reports.
RX POT SESSION UNLIKELY: Prospects of a special session on medical cannabis licenses continue to be dim as the leaders of the House and Senate have yet to agree to a bill or even to sit down and talk, reports Bryan Sears for the Daily Record. An effort to address a lack of minority business participation in the state's fledgling medical marijuana growing industry failed at midnight on the final night of the 2017 General Assembly session. Despite having what appeared to be enough votes for passage, the House failed to take the final roll call before the clock struck midnight.
I-270 WORK SET FOR FALL: Work should begin this fall on a $100 million project aimed at relieving congestion on Interstate 270 through Frederick and Montgomery counties, Ryan Marshall of the Frederick News-Post reports. Gov. Larry Hogan announced the plans for the project at a news conference Wednesday while overlooking the interstate near Rockville.
HOGAN CRITICIZES PURPLE LINE JUDGE: Gov. Larry Hogan on Wednesday said the federal judge whose ruling has delayed construction of the Purple Line has a conflict of interest stemming from his connections to opponents of the light-rail project, Andrew Metcalf of Bethesda Beat reports. Hogan was holding a press conference at Park Potomac to announce proposed traffic improvements to I-270 when he was asked about the construction of the 16.2-mile light-rail line, on which the state has spent millions on design and engineering work required in advance of construction.
POT USE & POLICE RECRUITMENT: Regulators in Maryland have eased restrictions on the amount of marijuana prospective police officers may have smoked before being hired in the state — a move Baltimore Police Commissioner Kevin Davis championed to boost his department's hiring efforts, Kevin Rector reports in the Sun.
SHE-CRAB POPULATION UP: There are more spawning-age female blue crabs in the Chesapeake Bay than there have been in at least 28 years, a sign that efforts to help the species withstand natural population swings are working. An annual survey of the bay's crab population found that there are fewer crabs overall in the bay than there were a year ago, however — about 455 million, down from 550 million, Scott Dance reports in the Sun.
BOARD BEMOANS DANCE DEPARTURE: Baltimore County's school board bemoaned the loss of Superintendent Dallas Dance at its regularly scheduled meeting Tuesday night. Dance abruptly resigned earlier that day, Jonna McKone reports for WYPR-FM.
The Baltimore County school board is planning to begin the search soon for an interim superintendent to replace Dallas Dance, who abruptly announced Tuesday that he will leave his job at the end of June, Liz Bowie writes in the Sun.
KAMENETZ, GOP COUNCIL AT ODDS OVER ICE: Baltimore County Executive Kevin Kamenetz is defending his executive order codifying police and correction officers' practices barring cooperation with federal immigration authorities. Kamenetz talked about a variety of topics with C4 on WBAL Wednesday, a day after County Council Republicans proposed a measure that would counter Kamenetz's order issued earlier this month.
However, the three Republicans on the Baltimore County Council want to deputize county corrections officers to enforce federal immigration laws. And they say they're planning to introduce legislation to do that, John Lee reports for WYPR-FM. This is the latest in the ongoing debate in the county on how to deal with people living in the country illegally.
BWI NOISE DISPUTE: The Democratic members of Maryland's congressional delegation are weighing into a dispute between the neighbors of BWI and the Federal Aviation Administration, encouraging the agency to act swiftly to alter flight patterns that are causing "unacceptable and unsustainable" noise, writes John Fritze of the Sun.
METRO PROPOSAL TARGETS UNIONS: Metro General Manager Paul J. Wiedefeld plunged into the high-stakes debate over how to save the troubled transit agency Wednesday by proposing far-reaching changes to extract major concessions from labor unions and seek new, dedicated funds from local governments to provide $500 million a year for equipment and maintenance, Robert McCartney reports in the Post.

Curious to know what I've got for you today? Well, I've chosen an exciting mix of the latest classic, boho, romantic, professional, pretty, easy-care, choppy and edgy blunt bobs for your inspiration.
This is also the place to see attractive, new beige-blonde colors, plus ash- and golden-blonde bobs, too! In addition, there's a fresh batch of brunette shades including espresso with deep plum balayage, and rich, golden brown – a great color we haven't seen for years!
Blunt bobs are suitable for fine, medium and thick hair, so get yourself a coffee and catch-up with all the new bob ideas and hair colors that have grabbed our interest this week!
Ash-blonde is a fabulously fashionable color right now and will be for a long time to come! Neutral and ash-blonde shades suit pale skin tones with warm undertones and really accentuate blue and gray eyes. This choppy, blunt-cut bob is chic, universally face-flattering, and easy-care on fine and medium hair!
This attractive long bob has a side-parting and added texture from the subtle highlighting shades added over medium-brown roots. It's a yummy-mummy hairstyle for busy women who benefit from a warm, golden-blonde to flatter many different complexions. It's a great choice for medium and thick hair and suits round, oval and heart faces.
We've seen lots of red- and copper-browns, but not enough of this rich, golden-brown color! It's a great idea for reflecting light, without expensive highlights, whilst keeping the depth of tone that complements your natural skin-tone. Center parts are only for oval faces, so for a round, heart face or prominent nose, wear a side-parting!
This casually flowing medium bob is perfect for warming up a pale skin-tone with warm undertones, (but not suitable for reddish complexions, which need an ash-brown color.) It's a good look for angular faces as it covers the jawline with a soft wave and heart faces, as the width around the chin balances a narrow chin.
Here's another popular look that's suitable for controlling medium or thick, coarse hair! Long, sliced layers and convex layering at the tips create a smoothly curved finish with a face-framing long fringe. The smooth brown background is very lightly highlighted in a shade one tone lighter, to create natural texture, depth and movement!
If you want to look absolutely up-to-the-minute you must choose a vintage look! LOL! This 1920's ear-length, blunt edge bob with short, straight across bangs is still the trendy gal's favorite! Bright copper suits pale skin-tones and accentuates eye-color, as the short fringe and sides frame the upper face. Suits oval and round faces.
Here's a fabulous edgy bob with extreme asymmetry. The back is a boy-cut, creating an attractive curve tapering in to a blunt-line. The smooth sides have expertly layered ends creating another cute curve, with choppy tips. Underneath, there's a concealed shaved band around the head making this a very versatile cut!
Here's a brilliant way to cover early gray hairs that plague a lot of women with black hair. Silver-lavender highlights cover obviously 'graying' hairs, soften the face with lighter color and are totally hot right now, too! So win-win-win situation! This casual chin-length bob suits all faces and ages, (especially thin or long, angular faces) and it's so chic!
Here's an easy-care, wear everywhere blonde bob style that doesn't need much attention, but certainly attracts it! The styling creates a 'blonde helmet', with eye-brow covering bangs framing a pair of large eyes. It's chin-length, so suits all faces and with straight lines, suits round, oval and heart faces.
Here's an easy-care daily hairstyle for brunette and black hair, for medium and fine hair. Espresso is the latest neutral, coffee-brown gloss for covering those early gray hairs on dark hair colors. The sliced layers create a natural curve into tapered tips, with asymmetry between the sides. Suits warm skin-tones and oval, round and heart faces.
This new twist on the long blonde bob has amazing style in the crisp straight lines and feathery upward graduation to a strong angle linking the front and sides. The trendy, neutral beige-blonde has subtle highlights and lowlights to create super texture on the smooth, glossy sides! The center parting accentuates an oval face shape.
This version of the center part, straight bob is a few inches shorter than the above haircut for thick hair. Keeping fine hair reasonably short helps to create a thicker appearance. This style uses strictly blunt-cut ends to create density and the bright blonde ombre also makes hair seem more abundant. Suits oval faces.
Here's a fabulous, contemporary look with a choppy edge and sharp angles. Glossy hair is given added fashion flair from the deep-green and plum highlights that soften black hair color. At chin-length, with a side parting this is a great hairstyle for round, oval, heart and long faces.
Cutting fairly long hair in an edgy asymmetrical style is too permanent for some, but you can get the benefits of asymmetry just by pushing hair back on one side. This lovely brunette color has choppy textured tips and fabulous beige-blonde balayage for a trendy, casual look and with a side parting will suit round, oval and heart faces.
This model has thick hair, which has been blunt cut to create slightly flicked-up tips, instead of the usual thinned-down ends that curve inwards. All waves are great for adding natural movement and texture to hair and this excellent bob suits oval, round and heart faces!
This trendy steeply angled bob has a fantastic white-blonde color design that includes edgy, purple balayage above the forehead! It's a great haircut for medium or thick hair, with strong asymmetry and highly textured, sharp tips for extra edge. You can adjust the parting to the side to suit your individual face shape.
What could be cuter for summer than this jaunty blonde bob with textured tips! The all-over blonde color has white- and beige-blonde lowlights too, creating extra light reflection, texture and movement. The blunt ends are lightly flipped-out for an easy-care, casual summer bob with an 'untidy' finish!
Here's an elegant blunt bob, with a straight, chopped line accentuating the edgy style. It works beautifully with oval, round, heart and otherwise curvy faces by balancing rounded cheeks with straight hair. The fabulous warm beige blonde, with subtle highlights, complements the model's warm skin-tone and accentuates her contrasting eye-brows, eyes and lips!
This no-nonsense chin-length bob with bangs is a very classy style for medium and thick hair. There's a touch of added height at the crown, and the deep, straight-across fringe focuses lots of attention on the eyes. This perfectly-groomed bob is a popular style for professional women and at chin-length, flatters a variety of faces.
If your pale face and brown hair need jazzing-up, why not try russet-red highlighting on a fashionable long bob with bangs? Adding more color intensity from a naturally occurring hair color, is an easy fashion update for women who don't want long, expensive salon sessions for highlighting and ombre!
If you really want to make a serious, professional impression at work, this long bob is ideal! It's sleek and streamlined, projecting an image of good organization and efficiency. It's also fashionable, but not extreme in style or color, suggesting 'good judgement' and the ability to 'fit in' with the people around you!
Traditional 'strawberry-blonde' shades are actually pale, copper-blonde! But this new, strawberry pink-blonde is definitely a muted pink! As a soft beige-pink-blonde shade that lightens to a subtle ombre, it creates an amazing new look. And a gorgeous new color on straight, fine hair is a great way to add texture and interest!
Remember, that a trendy bob hairstyle can be worn by lots of different face shapes and age-groups – up to 100 years old at least! And the same goes for the new hair colors, so don't hesitate to have a chat with your colorist to discover which new colors suit your skin-tone.

Q: Validación Ajax con PHP Tengo un formulario donde se da de alta algunos datos (datos e imagen), el formulario con la acción PHP en mi formulario funciona y los agrega correctamente, pero no quiero que se refresque mi formulario si no solo los de alta, para esto utilizo AJAX. Ejecuto mi código y me agrega los datos excepto la imagen, ¿alguien sabe qué me hace falta?
Éste es mi código AJAX:
$(document).ready(function(){

  $().ajaxStart(function(){
    $('#loading').show();
    $('#result').hide();
  }).ajaxStop(function() {
    $('#loading').hide();
    $('#result').fadeIn('slow');
  });

  $('#form, #addproduct').submit(function(){
    $.ajax({
      type:'POST',
      url: $(this).attr('action'),
      data:$(this).serialize(),
      mimeType:"multipart/form-data",
      success: function(data) {
        $('#result').html(data);
      }
    })

    return false;
  });

})

Y el código de mi formulario:
<form class="form-horizontal" method="post" id="addproduct" name="addproduct" action="index.php?view=addreceipt" role="form" enctype="multipart/form-data" >

    Folio

      <input type="text" name="folio" id="folio" placeholder="se genera automáticamente" class="form-control" >

    Cliente *

      <select name="cliente" id="cliente" class="form-control">
        <option value="">-- NINGUNA --</option>
        <?php foreach ($clients as $client): ?>
        <option value="<?php echo $client->id;?>"><?php echo $client->razon;?></option>
        <?php endforeach;?>
      </select>

    Fecha de Arribo *

      <input type="text" name="fechadellegada" id="fechadellegada" placeholder="Fecha arribo" class="form-control">

    Hora de Arribo *

      <input type="text" name="horadellegada" id="horadellegada" placeholder="Hora arribo" class="form-control">

    Operador*

      <input type="text" name="operador" id="operador" placeholder="Nombre del operador" class="form-control">

    Sello *

      <input type="file" name="image" id="image">

      <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary" name="mysubmit" id="mysubmit" onclick="mostrar();">Agregar Solicitud</button>

</form>

A: El problema es que estas ejecutando el submit, simplemente crea un button y con jQuery (Que veo que lo usas) capturas todos los campos del formulario y lo envías de la siguiente manera.

$(document).on('click', '#guardar', function() {
$.ajax({
    type: 'post',
    url: 'ruta/guardar',
    data: {
        //aca colocaras todos los campos que deseas enviar al backend
        'nombre': $('#nombre').val(),
        'apellido': $('#apellido').val(),
        'edad': $('#edad').val()
    },
    success: function(data) {
        //si todo sucede correctamente tu escoges que haras
    },
    error: function(data) {
        //aca si algo sale mal
    }
});
});

<form class="form-horizontal" role="form" id="form-crear" class="form_con_select2">
        <input type="text" id="nombre">

        <input type="text" id="apellido">

        <input type="number" id="edad">
</form>

<button type="button" id="guardar">Guardar</button>

A: Con serialize, no puedes enviar archivos, te sugiero que uses FormData:
$('form#elIdDelForm').on('submit', function(event) {
    event.preventDefault();
    var formData = new FormData($(this)[0]);

    $.ajax({
        url: "tuRuta.php",
        type: "POST",
        data: formData,
        contentType: false,
        processData: false,
        success: function(datos) {
            $('#result').html(datos);
            ... etc
        }
    });

});

A: Un posible ejemplo para guardar datos e imágenes mediante AJAX.

Como puedes ver he quitado el action de tu form, el onclick de tu botón, y la he añadido directamente al AJAX.

Tuesday comes along, and with the dawning of this day, new words form up into a story for you to drink up like water in a desert.
Another chapter of The Wings Take Shape is coming at you!
Last week, Captain Renee Mollen and her Winged Riders hid in the bloody wood, the Red Forest, seeking shelter for a little rest in the dangerous forest. Renee was worried about Jon, who had turned into a cougar in front of everyone, revealing his Skinchanger nature and violently murdering Renee's Scout Irons in his rage and escape. She took to calling for him in the woods, but he didn't appear.
Sergeant Marie Mollen, Renee's twin sister, came to Renee and discussed their future and the wisdom in seeking Sadie out knowing that her nephew Jon's fate was uncertain. The twinner bond they shared was weakening just as they needed it most, but once it starts to go, it is said nothing can be done.
Farsight Poul saw something in the woods creeping upon them, and a pack of cougars set upon them, snarling and ready to attack, but a larger cougar, what must have been Jon, scared them away.
He attempted to Change back to his normal human form, but it failed midway and he fled back into the bloody wood, still a cougar, still wild. They pressed on to find Sadie and hopefully some help.
Another town burned to the ground. Renee was sick of the sight. She brought her Wings to the edge of the bloody wood and they stared at the smoldering wreckage of Sadie's village.
Marie's fingers clenched around Renee's arm. "Is she dead?" she whispered.
"As hard as she fought to keep herself alive against the cadshee? I doubt it." Renee pulled her arm free and tugged on the reins, making her horse follow into the village square. The rest of Renee's Wings and recruits came soon after.
It smelled only of charred wood and linen. No scents of burning flesh. No bodies to speak of. That was good. Where had Sadie gone? Had she taken the townsfolk to safety? Her children?
Her Wings saluted and separated. Marie split up the Danver's Table lot equally with the Wings. Danver Jr. went with Private Tanner. Regina went to look at the ruins of Sadie and Private Jeffrey Paige's home. Renee watched her Winged Riders moving about, knowing their duty even though some were raw recruits. Private Wander went back into the bloody wood, looking for tracks most like. Privates Nightingale, Bail, and Yoris all took the villager recruits and searched the ruins of houses and shops. She spotted Farsight Poul looking up the road, towards the capital.
"You don't need to apologize for the way you feel, Farsight Poul." She didn't know what else to say to the man. How could he resent the life he'd been granted? The life he'd been able to provide for his family?
She left him alone and walked the perimeter, waiting for reports she already knew were coming. No bodies, or very few. No sign of the villagers. No sign of Sadie and her boys. What she expected but didn't find were the bodies of the enemy. They, too, were nowhere to be found. If the village had been empty when they set upon it, why would they have bothered to burn it?
She didn't know what it meant, but she felt like she should know. Sadie wasn't the cadshee. But she wasn't just a normal Skinchanger anymore, either.
"I need scouts!" she called out. "Form up and listen in, Wings." The Winged Riders all came together, dragging reluctant recruits behind them. Some at least appeared ready to serve, which was good.
"What's going on with Private Sawyer is new." Renee sighed, fists clenched tight. How much to tell? They relied on secrecy. It wasn't her place to let it all out. "I need you all to trust me. Trust that my time as a Winged Rider wasn't wasted. I know what we're doing, and we need Jon. We need Sadie. We need – " She hesitated again.
"Yes, Captain," he said, saluting.
"I understand, Sergeant. Orders remain. I'll take the Private with me." They nodded, and for a moment their shared bond pulsed, strong with understanding and purpose. What would it be like to lose it for good?
They spread out into the woods. Renee had Private Wander, Danver Jr., Private Bail, and another woman recruited from Danver's Table. The recruits came wielding spear and dagger. Renee made sure they were always in sight.
"Because she's not a monster, Private. She is my friend, and I know she's done what needed to be done. Do you understand?" she asked significantly. Private Wander receded into silence, only nodding sheepishly. It was so obvious now.
They walked for a little while longer, looking for redwoods. Bail, Danver, and the other recruit wandered aimlessly, but Private Wander was in the lead, walking them in a more or less straight southern track. Renee let her guide them, giving the larger redwoods a cursory glance.
"Captain," Private Wander said, jogging to a larger than usual redwood tree. "Is this what you were looking for?" She pointed at a well-shadowed burrow in the side of the tree. Renee grinned.
"Sorry, Captain." He came to stand beside Private Wander, who watched him with wary eyes.
He saluted, as did Danver and the other girl. Clumsily, but they were trying.
They left the base of the tree, disappearing into the bloody wood and back towards town.
Private Wander stretched, leaning against the tree. "How soon did you know?" she asked.
"That girl is far too observant." She shifted from the form of Private Wander into Sadie, smoke and oil drifting over her and into her as the familiar face of Jon's Aunt reformed, smiling sadly.
Sadie's head shook. She was different. Not feral, but ready to strike at a moment's notice. A wild animal backed into a corner was the most dangerous of all.
Sadie's head shook again. "I didn't want to risk leaving my children with the villagers for longer than an hour or two. They're good folk, but they're scared. If my boys shift in front of them, it's liable to spook them into doing something I'd regret to retaliate." The threat was there. She really wasn't the Sadie that Renee remembered. But she was, in other ways. She was still a mother. She was still an aunt.
"We don't know what's happened with Jon," Renee said.
Come on back next week to find out what Sadie means by her cryptic words, and to finally get some answers about Jon!
