It is good to know what fading kitten syndrome is if you are a cat owner – especially to a newborn kitten. It is a syndrome that can affect all cats and it, unfortunately, can be fatal in many instances. However, with quick treatment, kittens can be nursed back to health so knowing what the syndrome is and what its symptoms are, is key to making sure that your kitten stays in prime health.
Fading Kitten Syndrome is not something that can be seen as a solitary illness, however. Instead, it is a variety of symptoms and weaknesses that are caused by many issues in kittens.
Here we look at those causes and what the symptoms are for easy early identification as well as the treatments that are offered to cats with fading kitten syndrome and what caregivers can do to help prevent the disease from developing in the first place.
Rejected by mother – as in humans, the mother's ability to supply, but also provide milk is key. If the kitten is rejected by its mother or even if the mother is present but unable to nurse the kittens (either due to wanting or an inadequate milk supply), a kitten is already on the back foot when it comes to maturing. They can become malnourished so that they are at risk of developing other illnesses or picking up a life-threatening virus.
Trauma – if any animal suffers a trauma, their ability to cope with shock is always much less than in humans. However, if a kitten is involved in a trauma, they are at risk of developing fading kitten syndrome as the shock of the trauma can lead to hypothermia – especially if that trauma means that they are sadly separated from their mother.
Parasites – parasites like roundworm or coccidia have often been linked to fading kitten syndrome as they have been identified as a key cause behind the breakdown in a young cat's immune system so that they are unable to fight off other nasty bugs and infections. In fact, when the immune system completely breaks down, a cat is said to be suffering from thymus atrophy.
Bacterial or Viral Infections – similar to parasites, a bacterial or viral infection can cause the start of fading kitten syndrome and are more often than not what are found to be why a cat has passed away. For instance, a cat could contract sepsis from bacterial infections or a viral infection, like FIV (or feline AIDS) is another trigger for the syndrome to develop.
Hereditary issues – as in humans, some of us are predisposed to picking up bugs and illnesses. Hereditary issues can cause the beginning of fading kitten syndrome as some cats just are not built with a strong immune system or perhaps they have other serious defects surrounding their heart or circulatory system. It would be like a human baby boy being born with a heart defect – he would be more susceptible to other illnesses. It is the same with cats but they go on to develop fading kitten syndrome.
Hemolytic anemia – this is when a kitten has a different blood type to its mother. This has been thought to be another cause of fading kitten syndrome. Sadly, it means that through a mother's milk, a kitten will ingest antibodies that will then go on to attack its own blood cells.
The similarity that links all these varied causes is that eventually, a kitten's immune system cannot cope due to being far too immature to deal with the symptoms of illnesses. These symptoms then bring about other catastrophic side effects like dehydration and hypothermia. These side effects can cause internal organs to begin to shut down and so a kitten's body starts to fail on them. Sadly, this is when fading kitten syndrome can be fatal.
So what are the symptoms of fading kitten syndrome? Knowing them is key to identifying and then treating your new pet.
Lethargy – this is one of the key signals that your new little kitten is unwell. If they have little interest in their surroundings, keep a close eye on them to see if they perk up at all. If they are just keen sleepers like many newborn cats are, then they should at some point pick up in energy in time. Those that have deeper rooted problems will just want to lie down for most of the day. This is when lethargy is more than just sleepiness and tiredness.
Disinterest in suckling – if your kitten does not want to, or is unable, to nurse from its mother, or when being hand-reared, then a closer monitoring of he or she is needed. Proper nursing is vital to them getting stronger and putting on the appropriate amount of weight whilst maturing. Milk is also full of vitamins and nutrients that is needed for a kitten's growth.
Separating themselves from the litter – this is a behavioral sign that can be a signal to a caregiver that their kitten is not quite right and should be taken to a vet. If you see your kitten separating themselves from the rest of the kittens in their litter, they may be unwell as well as worsening their ability to nurse as much as they should be. This is a double edge sword and critical to be aware of as a fading kitten syndrome symptom.
Dehydrated skin – dehydrated skin on a kitten can be hard to see, but it is a vital sign to caregivers that their cat is not well. If your kitten's face appears gaunt, taut and even very triangular in shape, they could well be dehydrated and measures need to be taken to up their bodily fluids.
Fluctuating weight – kittens should gain around 7 to 10 grams of weight a day. Owners should purchase a set of good quality scales that are accurate enough to monitor small alterations in a kitten's weigh. Aim to weigh kittens at least once a day. If they are not gaining weight, it is a good idea to go to the vets.
Unable to turn from their backs – kittens should be able to turn themselves over if placed on their backs. If they can't, it could signal that something more serious is wrong with them and close attention should be paid to them to see if there are any other signs of fading kitten syndrome.
Unopened eyes – Kittens should open their eyes about 5 to 14 days after birth. If your kitten still has their eyes shut after this time, or have not opened them a couple of days after the rest of the litter, think about taking them to the vet or paying closer attention to their nursing.
The Runt – more often than not, if a kitten passes away from fading kitten syndrome, he or she will have been the runt of the litter. It comes down to their DNA make up and ability to fight off infections. To identify the runt, just look for the smallest kitten in the litter.
When fading kitten syndrome has already taken a strong hold, owners will see neck arching, abnormal breathing and perhaps weird sounds coming out of their kitten's mouth. If you notice any one of these symptoms, go to the vets immediately.
Treating fading kitten syndrome is a two-pronged affair. Firstly, diagnosing that it is fading kitten syndrome that is affecting the kitten is fundamental. Secondly, the cause and symptoms of the syndrome need to be addressed.
This may call for many tests for the poor little kitten to go through, from checking for parasites to seeing if a kitten's respiratory system is working properly. However, it is only after these tests are carried out that a kitten can be offered the treatment to ease their pain. For infections, this will often mean a course of antibiotics, but vets will often treat a kitten for dehydration too to ward off any further issues that fading kitten syndrome cause. Other means a vet will employ to make a kitten feel better is using thermal support to ward off hypothermia as well as giving them sugary food to eat in an effort to get their weight back up.
Sadly, fading kitten syndrome can develop too quickly to save a cat and vets may look to put them to sleep to save them from further suffering. This will be the very last resort for any vet, but it highlights how and why owners should be on the lookout for fading kitten syndrome so keenly.
For those that are going to be looking after kittens frequently and often, simply swatting up on the symptoms of fading kitten syndrome can help save a cat who develops the disease.
However, owners can also learn how to tube feed which helps any kitten who cannot swallow their milk or does not know how to suckle. There is also something called subcutaneous fluid therapy which can provide a young kitten a lifeline. This form of treatment will ward off fading kitten syndrome as it will ensure that a kitten has the optimal levels of hydration that are so key to keeping a kitten's organs functioning. This type of therapy can also be used to administer key vitamins and minerals like iron, B12 or even a sugar solution of dextrose.
Vets are all too happy to help teach cat caregivers these techniques to ensure that young kittens remain healthy. They have specialised knowledge that they will impart in layman's terms to make certain that cat litters have the best chance of survival.
It is vital to know that fading kitten syndrome does not immediately mean that your cat will pass away. Instead, through education, cat caregivers are creating an environment that kittens will prosper in. Knowing the signs of fading kitten syndrome will enable a quicker identification of the problem and consequently a swift start to treatment. Early diagnosis is the best way to ensure a cat's lead a long and happy life.
Time is of the essence when it comes to fading kitten syndrome.
It is fundamental for kitten caregivers to know that they should not wait to see if their kitten simply gets better with time. A kitten's health can quickly deteriorate when suffering from fading kitten syndrome so it is best not to leave things to chance – take your kitten to the vet straight away if you have any sort of worry that something is not quite right with one of your litter.
Emergency vet appointments are never something that pet owners want to have to use, but never an appointment that caregivers regret going to. If possible, go to a vet that specialises in kittens as this will further help your kitten's chance of survival.
Kittens that are at risk are ones that are fostered, but all the information included in this article is pertinent to cat owners or even well-versed breeders. It is essential for everyone to realise that fading kitten syndrome is not a death sentence but that waiting until a kitten is in crisis could mean that their chances of survival are materially diminished.

BRIDGEPORT — Donald Trump barnstormed through Connecticut's largest city Saturday, returning to the place where he was thwarted from building a casino two decades ago with a more audacious proposition — the presidency.
The enigmatic frontrunner for the GOP nomination defied the traditional roadmap of Republicans in this reliably blue state with a raucous midday campaign rally at the Klein Memorial Auditorium in Bridgeport.
But then again Trump has taken an unconventional path throughout the primary race, which winds has wound its way from Iowa and New Hampshire to New York and now Connecticut.
It was the second stop for Trump on the day in the state's hardscrabble industrial belt, where the billionaire made promises of a jobs renaissance and lamented what might have been if his waterfront casino development had been allowed to procede 20 years ago.
"Real geniuses, they said, 'No," and now it's dying," Trump said.
Connecticut holds its primaries Tuesday, setting Trump up for a potential sweep of its 28 GOP delegates if the contest if the voting mirrors a recent Quinnipiac University poll giving the real estate tycoon a commanding lead over John Kasich and Ted Cruz.
"The more we win by, the better it's going to be," Trump said.
In the mid-1990s, Trump partnered with Joe Ganim during Ganim's first stint as Bridgdeport's mayor to push a waterfront casino development in the city. But the project was met with competition from rival casino mogul Steve Wynn and the Mashantucket Pequot Nation, as well as opposition from politicians such as then-Gov. Lowell Weicker Jr.
Ganim, a Democrat who served prison time for corruption and was re-elected last fall, was spotted backstage before the rally.

Hi, I'd like to find out more information about 3756 Glenrest Dr.. Thanks so much!


At this week's Pharma & Device Packaging & Labeling West Coast educational conference in Burlingame, CA, DEA's Stephen Buzzeo noted that manufacturers of controlled substances are required to report suspicious ordering to the DEA.
Of course, order volumes or frequencies can be increased without anything nefarious taking place, but suspicious activity, such as a sudden five-fold increase in order volume, or a new customer ordering more meds than any other customer, should be reported. Orders can still be shipped even if activity is reported. More info on reporting can be found here under the Reporting menu.
Distributors are required to make good faith inquiries (per 21 CFR 1301.74) to determine if receivers can possess controlled substances. He said that it's also a good idea to keep a copy (hard copy or electronic) of downstream partners' DEA registration.
Cases of theft or loss of controlled substances must also be reported to the DEA. These reports can be filed electronically at the DEA's Diversion Control Division site.

Placówka Straży Celnej "Wyszków" – jednostka organizacyjna Straży Celnej pełniąca w okresie międzywojennym służbę ochronną na granicy polsko-czechosłowackiej.

Formowanie i zmiany organizacyjne
Na wniosek Ministerstwa Skarbu, uchwałą z 10 marca 1920 roku, powołano do życia Straż Celną. Jednostki Straży Celnej rozpoczęły przejmowanie odcinków granicy od pododdziałów Batalionów Celnych. W 1921 roku w Ludwikówce stacjonował sztab 3 kompanii 12 batalionu celnego. Kompania wystawiała między innymi placówkę w Wyszkowie. W 1922 roku w Dolinie stacjonował sztab 4 kompanii 19 batalionu celnego. Kompania wystawiała między innymi placówkę w Wyszkowie. Proces tworzenia Straży Celnej trwał do końca 1922 roku. Placówka Straży Celnej "Wyszków" weszła w podporządkowanie komisariatu Straży Celnej "Ludwikówka" z Inspektoratu SC "Dolina".

W drugiej połowie 1927 roku przystąpiono do gruntownej reorganizacji Straży Celnej. W praktyce skutkowało to rozwiązaniem tej formacji granicznej. Ochronę północnej, zachodniej i południowej granicy państwa przejęła powołana z dniem 2 kwietnia 1928 roku Straż Graniczna.
Rozkazem nr 5 z 16 maja 1928 roku w sprawie organizacji Małopolskiego Inspektoratu Okręgowego dowódca Straży Granicznej gen. bryg. Stefan Pasławski powołał komisariat Straży Granicznej "Ludwikówka". Placówka Straży Granicznej I linii "Wyżków"  znalazła się w jego strukturze.

Oratorio del Santissimo Crocifisso är ett oratorium i Rom, helgat åt det Heliga Korset. Oratoriet är beläget vid Piazza dell'Oratorio i Rione Trevi och tillhör församlingen Santa Maria in Via.

Historia
Den 25 maj 1519 brann kyrkan San Marcello al Corso vid Via del Corso ned. Hela byggnaden förstördes utom ett krucifix. Kardinalen Guillermo Raimundo de Vich y de Vallterra lät detta krucifix bäras i procession till Peterskyrkan år 1522, då Rom hade drabbats av pesten. Farsoten upphörde och krucifixet kom att bli föremål för ivrig folklig vördnad. Fyra år senare, år 1526, grundades Arciconfraternita del Santissimo Crocifisso in Urbe, ett brödraskap som uppmanade till vördnad av det Heliga Korset.

Brödraskapet hade tidigt planer på att uppföra ett oratorium, men det kom inte att stå färdigt förrän 1568, efter ritningar av Giacomo della Porta. Mellan 1578 och 1583 smyckades interiören med en freskcykel, bland annat med scener ur det Heliga Korsets historia. Freskmotiven fann man i Legenda Aurea av Jacobus de Voragine och målandet av interiören leddes av Tommaso dei Cavalieri och Girolamo Muziano. Oratoriets innertak utfördes 1573 av mästarsnickaren Flaminio Boulanger och belades med bladguld 1584, men förstördes 1798 i samband med den franska ockupationen för att inte restaureras förrän 1879, under ledning av arkitekten Tito Armellini.

Under 1600-talet uppfördes i Oratorio del Santissimo Crocifisso ett flertal oratorier av Giacomo Carissimi och Emilio de' Cavalieri.

År 1963 överläts oratoriet åt Suore domenicane di Betania, en kvinnlig gren inom dominikanorden och nio år senare, 1972, övertogs det av en kvinnlig missionsorden — Missionarie di Gesù Eterno Sacerdote, grundad 1947. Omkring millennieskiftet lämnade systrarna oratoriet. År 1999 genomfördes en restaurering.

Exteriör
Den manieristiska fasaden, som har två våningar, har attribuerats åt Giacomo della Porta. Den är uppförd i rosaaktigt tegel med de arkitektoniska elementen i kalksten. Den nedre våningen har fyra pilastrar som bär upp en kraftigt profilerad kornisch, istället för ett helt entablement. Pilastrarna är av toskansk ordning och har märkliga triglyfer (egentligen tetraglyfer) placerade framför kapitälen. Ingångsportalen kröns av ett triangulärt pediment med kragstenar. På ömse sidor om portalen sitter fönster och ovanför dessa tomma rundbågenischer, krönta av segmentbågepediment med kragstenar.

Den övre våningen har fyra pilastrar med rudimentära kapitäl. I mitten sitter en minnesplatta som hugfäster minnet av att kardinal Ranuccio Farnese lät påbörja bygget av oratoriet och att kardinal Alessandro Farnese lät fullborda detsamma.

Plattan, som är dekorerad med bland annat festonger och ett bevingat puttohuvud, flankeras av rektangulära fönster med triangulära pediment, vars kornischer är brutna. Ovanför minnesplattan sitter det farnesiska vapnet med dess fleurs-de-lys. Fasadens storform avslutas med ett triangulärt pediment med ett kors högst upp.

I sin utformning av fasaden, särskilt dess nedre våning, inspirerades Giacomo della Porta av flera av Michelangelos arkitektoniska verk i Rom, i synnerhet Palazzo dei Conservatori, Palazzo Farnese, Porta Pia samt Peterskyrkans västparti.

Interiör
Interiören har en rektangulär grundplan och saknar sidokapell. Den lilla absiden har formen av en rundbågenisch. I innertakets mitt sitter en fresk föreställande Kristi återkomst. Sidomålningarna visar brödraskapets emblem och påve Leo XIII:s vapen. På oratoriets sidoväggar har en rad 1500-talskonstnärer utfört fresker med motiv ur det Heliga Korsets historia samt motiv ur San Marcello-korsets historia och brödraskapets historia.

Höger sida
Giovanni De Vecchi erhöll det ursprungliga uppdraget att utföra samtliga fresker, men han har endast målat de två första: Den heliga Helena förstör avgudabilderna och påträffar tre kors och Den heliga Helena och biskop Macarius begrundar vilket som är Jesu kors. Den tredje fresken på höger sida är av Niccolò Circignani och framställer Det sanna Korset botar en lam man.

Koret
Det polykroma högaltaret har en 1700-talskopia av det undergörande krucifixet från San Marcello. Ovanför detta ser man en lynettfresk med Gud Fadern och absidens tunnvalv har en fresk med Den Helige Andes duva. Mellan altaret och krucifixet ses ikonen Santa Maria del Sole, som kommer från Oratorio di Santa Maria del Sole vid Tor de' Specchi. Absidens sidoväggar har två fresker av Cristoforo Roncalli: Den helige Johannes Evangelisten och Den heliga Maria Magdalena. På altarväggen finns fler fresker: Abrahams offer och Bronsormen. Ovanför absidens arkivolt står mottot: IN CRVCE GLORIARI OPORTET IN QVA EST SALVS, "Det är nödvändigt att upphöja Korset, i vilket det finns frälsning."

Vänster sida
Även vänster sida har tre fresker. De två första är utförda av Niccolò Circignani och framställer Herakleios och Khusrov tvistar över Korset samt Ängeln uppenbarar sig för Herakleios. Den tredje fresken, Herakleios bär Korset tillbaka till Jerusalem, är ett verk av Cesare Nebbia.

Ingångsväggen
Ingångsväggen uppvisar freskerna Miraklet med San Marcello-krucifixet och Grundandet av kapucinnunnornas kloster på Quirinalen, båda utförda av Niccolò Circignani. Därefter följer Paris Nogaris Pestprocessionen 1522 samt Baldassare Croces Godkännandet av brödraskapets statuter.

Protecting your business property and assets and investments is one thing – but protecting your employees is another matter altogether. If you have staff working on your premises during the day or in the evening, you need to make sure that they are amply protected as well. Their safety is your responsibility, after all. So how can you ensure that your staff is adequately protected whilst they are in your business premises? Let's find out.
If you handle cash or expensive items on a regular basis, you could make use of a protective screen so that you can protect your employees. In addition, you can make use of a CCTV system as well as safes. If you have a business which is in an area with high risk, you can secure your premises (and the safety of your employees) by employing a security guard service such as the security services in Oxford from Securipol Ltd.
If you have regular visitors to your business, you can secure your business and employees even further by asking visitors to log in their details in a book at your entry points. Furthermore, you can ask visitors to leave an identification card so that you can issue them with a pass to enter your premises. You can also request your visitors to remove any helmets, caps, or scarves which cover the face so that you can easily identify them if there is a security breach. Some business premises even have height marks by the doors and entry points so staff can gauge a criminal's height if there is a report of a break-in. If the mark is clearly visible, this can also serve as a deterrent for prospective criminals wanting to target a shop.
If you have employees who work on their own or at night, you may also want to enhance their security by making use of personal alarm systems or a radio link scheme. You can also install controlled access to your premises or make use of a CCTV system with audio capabilities. There are also devices which can issue automatic warnings in case of intruders, and you can, as mentioned, hire security guards or mobile security patrols who can regularly monitor your premises at different times of the day or night.
Security is a concern for everyone, and this holds even truer for the security and protection of your staff and employees. With the proper security measures, however, your staff can be better protected, and your premises will be appropriately protected as well.

Memorial day was three days of catch up with the yard and garden. We are almost caught up. I know.. I know... I promised that crochet pattern ...it's coming...our computer isn't being very nice to me lately.
So Spring Sprang and now its Sprung...88 and humid today with thunderstorms ...the spring blossoms are gone Lilies of the Valley, Dogwood and Cherry trees all gone... summer lilies and roses are pushing through. I'm ready for it now ...I think ! We definitely needed this rain as the tree pollen as been so thick.
I made this Pumpkin bread for Teachers Appreciation... It gets an A+! I added a Lemon kissed cream cheese glaze that I made up which certainly didn't hurt !
15 first graders, yeah that got out of control real fast! Thank god for my older kids who saved the day with a scavenger hunt and Pokemon bingo.Thanks to Pinterest too with all the great Pokemon party ideas. We had an ice cream sunday bar, pizza and tie dyed t-shirts. The party got an A+ as well.
Another A+ to my dear blogger friend Andi, who sent me the wonderful teas and a delicious yarn. How did she know that was my most favorite color and that I love Kombucha tea!? Now that's just good Karma!
A beautiful sock is just waiting to be cast on with this.
I am behind but I just love the Once Upon a Time Sampler.It is turning out to be just adorable and a lot of fun but I must be more diligent in working on it!
Hermione sock is just about done. I have been true to my word and have not started on any other socks until this was finished...for I know myself and would just end up with numerous half finished socks on needles!
cook on stove top for a few minutes and then transfer skillet ( make sure it is oven safe) to oven at 350 till it fluffs up and sets about 20 minutes. Enjoy.
a note about Italian Fontina...Swiss or Italian ...Its a bit mild and nutty and creamy and oh so delicious! If you cant find it regular Fontina wont disappoint.:-).
Oh and Hello Mr. Tree Frog thank you for the little night time visit.
I think on my last post I left you saying that I was talking the hubby into going to NYC for the day ... We did and it was wonderful ! You can see the pictures on Instagram now .
Have a wonderful week and I will get working on that pattern now as it is a cosy day here with a nice soft rain falling. A perfect covered porch day...or a perfect making strawberry jam day too as they are in season here. All in all things are pretty good if these are my decisions to make today.

The only thing that makes me mad is the fact that the prosecutors have this final say.
They are going to bring out the 93' books with the nude boys and smear that all in the jurors faces.
But that good thing is that they've already seen it. It just sucks.

So the timeline now comes in?
me too Nevah, but even though the Pros. gets the last say...Mez's arguement is still going to stand out more...if this jury think logically!
Is it my imagination or is nancy looking kind of like someone just told her she has to swallow a glass of spit

That's 'cause Mez isn't quoting from some lurid dime novel like ZONED is - lol!
:crackingu :crackingu :crackingu
ZONED goes to work w/ his closing arguments:
:bustbubbl
This is something that I just found and it's from Diane Diomond but it's still very interesting.
Unchecked CourtTV (Diane Dimond) update about Mesereau's case cause it's not bad... And yes, they got the computer fixed.
Seven minutes later he returned to the courtroom with susan yu. They're a close team. She bustled in and it was clear that's where all of the graphics were. He needed her in the courtroom. So they plugged in the computer. And it wouldn't work. They had to call in a couple of technicians. They were, you know, looking, trying to look calm and they were feverishly trying to get it to work. At one point, susan looked at michael jackson and mouthed the words, I'm sorry. But anyway, they finally got going. A few minutes later and tom mesereau, i must say, is delivering a powerful and energetic closing argument. It is all about attacking the integrity of this family. Especially the integrity of the mother. He said point blank at the top, he said this is about whether the doe family can be believed to beyond a reasonable doubt. If you don't believe what they said, you must acquit. He then went through a long rendition of what he termed were the mother's scams, jc penney up there. The welfare fraud was up there. He said ask yourself, do i have any problem with anything they have said? If answer is yes, mr. Jackson must go home. He talked a lot about the past testimony and promised that he would take them through transcripts that hasn't occurred yet and giving the outline at the top here. He said the testimony so far prove that is this family are con artists, actors and liars. The mother is so skilled with her tales of woe that people just after hearing her tales of woe simply decide to write her a check. She has committed perjury. I'll show you that in the jc penney suit and other times. You should pause and be suspicious about everything you have heard from every member of that family. It is clear that they were always trying to develop a lawsuit against michael jackson. Then he started talking about his client. Seemingly, pooh-poohing the state's case against him. He said, look at him. He is a genius. He is concerned with going into the studio and creating and sitting in a tree and writing music. He is -- his only and biggest sin is trusting the wrong people to be around him. He has been a target for years ever since the 1994 payout. There were two of them as you remember, nancy. He attacked steve robel the lead detectivive in the case, the powerful video of the young boy please speaking to the police and telling them what he said happened with michael jackson. He said, you know, he from the very beginning said, you know, hi, come in, sit down. We are going to investigate. Michael jackson's wrong and you are right and you're safe now. Giving the clear implication that there hasn't investigated anything but make michael jackson a target. He asked a lot of questions to the jury, nancy. Rather than statements of fact, of look at michael jackson. Does he appear to be somebody who would enter into a conspiracy? Look at the mother and her past. Don't you think that -- and then go into a long rendition. It was very unlike the presentation that ron zonen did earlier today which really was sort of a story about the doe family and how they got swept up in michael jackson's life.
I don't want to give you the impression he's boring, he isn't. But it's a different presentation. As we took the afternoon break, and we're still in the break here, he was talking about conspiracy and molestation. For example, he -- this is what i meant by pooh-poohing the state's case. He how absurd is it to say the molestation going on in february 20th to march 12th? There was international media scrutiny, not only on michael jackson but on this family. After the bashir documentary. It's unrealistic, he says, makes no sense because the case makes no sense. He talked about the molestation only being presented to them through the testimony of john and jane doe and, again, he said he is going to prove that their stories kept changing. He also, nancy, brought in the fact that this district attorney here in, you know, tom sneddon closest to the jury box, this district attorney has been after him for years. They wanted to humiliate, degrade, dehumanize him. Do you remember the kid that told him about the finances and how bad they were? That's designed to humiliate and tom mesereau said he's had financial problems but he is naive and through the financial difficulties gives $1 million to his friend marlon brando. He said they came in here and waived the pornography magazines around. Okay. He is an adult. There's nothing illegal found in his house. He looks at hustler and playboy and penthouse. It is not illegal. But they bring these magazines in here and they display them up on the big screen. Again, i submit to you he is a target of this -- this district attorney's office and just trying to degrade and humiliate this man who in fact is a genius and a great, you know, sort of a filantlopic individual.
Diane, how did mesereau, jackson's defense attorney, attack the similar transaction witnesses?
Oh, that's a great question and it happened right before the break. He was talking about the fact that the only -- only testimony you have here that michael jackson committed any act of sexual impropriety is from john and jane doe and hi says it was late at night on the stairs for a couple of seconds. He said, and all those other witnesses you brought in, alleged victims from the '90s, well three of them said nothing ever happened. You know why they brought them in, he said? Because they're desperate. What kind of a system do we have if a family like this comes in here and makes false claims.
Here's more from what I just posted:
TSColdMan@MJJF:
More unchecked CourtTV about Mez:
Diane, let's start with the latest. Tom mesereau for the defense. The high points of his closing thus far.
>> Reporter: He's looking the jury straight in the eye and saying, if you have any doubt about any statement that you heard from any member of this family, then you must acquit michael jackson. It was sort of reminiscent of johnny cochran, if the judge doesn't fit, you must acquit. I thought of the late johnny cochran at that moment. He went through a long rendition of what he said was this mother's wrongdoing. This was basically an attack on the mother. Her welfare fraud. She took the fifth amendment on that. He said, we've proven that that happened. In fact, this mother may still face some charges on this. He talked about the molestation as if it was all a figment of this boy's imagination. He talked about how absurd it is to say that something like michael jackson would in that time period from february 20th to march 12th, when the world media was swirling around him after bashir, that he would take this child to bed and molest him. He said it's unreal listic. It makes no sense. Because this whole case makes no sense. And as to all the other young men who came in here, he said, remember, the state brought in other young men who, as young boys, were at neverland ranch. He said, three of them said nothing ever happened. Because they are desperate. The state is desperate. What kind of a system do we have he asked the jury, if a family like this can come in here and bring false claims against somebody like this. And of course, he was meaning michael jackson. It's a pretty compelling argument. But then again, ron zonen's was pretty compelling this morning, too.
>> We'll get to ron zonen's in just a minute. But has mesereau responded to the real attack that came out of zonen right out of the box that mesereau didn't live up to the promises that he made in his opening statement? Has mesereau responded to that at all?
>> Reporter: Yes, as a matter of fact, that's the first thing he said. I should tell you, there was a strange pause before he started his closing. Zonen quit. We all looked at mr. Mesereau for about a minute. And he got up and left the room. He was gone for about five, six, seven minutes. He came back with susan, who had the computer with all the graphics on it. Then they had the problems getting the computer to work. It was a very uncomfortable time. The jury got restless. But one of the first things he said was, the state has begun -- i just heard a prosecutor start their case by attacking me. Well, i could mention that debbie rowe was supposed to come here and say the whole portion of the rebuttal video with her was scripted. She said the opposite. They were supposed to bring chris carter in here, a neverland security guard. He never showed up. I could tell you that christian robinson, the man that asked the questions to the family during the rebuttal was supposed to come in and say it was all scripted, and he didn't say that either. So, i was wondering how tom mesereau was going to handle that. Because zonen started with mesereau's contract to the jury, and then went all the way through all the things that the state thinks he didn't prove. And I was thinking to myself, mr. Mesereau's got four hours. He's got down pat what he wants to say. But now he has to answer these allegations. And he did it right there at the top.
>> Reporter: He's looking the jury straight in the eye and saying, if you have any doubt about any statement that you heard from any member of this family, then you must acquit michael jackson.
My boyt Mez is sooo right, cause this is one sequenced glove that is not fitting Michael!

LCD pioneer Merck upbeat about Oled role
SEOUL - As a global pioneer in display technology, namely liquid crystals, Merck is confident of continuing to lead the markets despite an inevitable change in trends, from LCD to organic light-emitting diodes, or Oled.
"Our role is to help our customers to become more cost-efficient in Oled production," said Mr Walter Galinat, president of Merck's Performance Materials Division.
For Merck, which holds more than 3,000 patents for liquid crystals, a core technology that accounts for 95 per cent of the global display market, moving onto Oled is not a problem since it is already heavily invested in the technology.
Liquid crystals will continue to be a central income source since, unlike the manufacturers who are stuck with actual displays and sets, Merck can simply apply the core technology to other surfaces and gadgets.
"Smart windows are one example of how we try to think outside of the usual applications," said Mr Galinat. The technology involves mixing liquid crystals with glass so that the window can control the shades, depending on the amount of sunlight.
Merck is a family-owned business founded in Darmstadt, Germany.
It stands as the world's oldest chemical and pharmaceutical company. Its main areas of expertise are liquid crystals and industrial pigments. This year, it added an "advanced technology unit" to focus on new engines of growth.
Merck has a 60 per cent market share in liquid crystals and has an annual R&D budget of up to US$135 million (S$169 million).
While Oled is a "very interesting technology" and the "only technology that can compete with LCD", prices and technological imperfection would not let Oled become mainstream just yet, Mr Galinat stressed.
"It will be at least 2018 that Oled prices will come down and make some inroads," he said.
Merck believes that by 2019, Oled may capture up to 15 per cent of the total display market.
Wearable gadgets, which are receiving new attention with the launch of the Galaxy Gear, will become a major trend, but Mr Galinat said the big challenge was increasing their durability.
Solar-powered cells may be an idea for replacing batteries to make the devices completely energy-independent, he added.
