Though it is always advised to rush your pet to a vet in any emergency case, still a little knowledge of first aid can go a long way in helping your furry family member cope with the situation before she gets proper medical treatment. First aid in time can save the life of your paw buddy.
When do you know your dog requires emergency medical aid? It is the duty of a pet parent to be alert about the health of their paw members. Remember, a stitch in time saves nine. Here are some common diseases (conditions) which when you spot any one of them, call your vet immediately for further examination and instant treatment.
Haematuria and haemoglobin uria: Haematuria is the appearance of blood in urine while haemoglobinuria is another condition in which oxygen transport protein haemoglobin is found in abnormally high concentration.
Persistent or acute gastroenteritis with severe dehydration: Persistent (constant) or acute (short & severe) inflammation of gastrointestinal tracts involving both stomach and small intestine generally results in diarrhoea.
Acute abdominal colic: Severe abdominal pain could be serious or may due only to dietary indiscretion.
Acute respiratory distress (dysponea): This is a syndrome with the symptom of inability to adequately breathe.
Rupture of the urinary bladder: In this case, the urinary bladder is torn and urine releases into abdominal cavity.
In addition, every pet parent should be aware about other common diseases including persistent paroxymal cough; haemorrhage; cardiac failure; fi ts and abnormal behaviour; muscular injury and fracture; dystocia; poisoning; comma or collapse; heat stroke; snakebite; scorpion, wasp and bee stings; and burns and scalds.
Every pet parent should be careful about any emergency situation that could be fatal to your fur buddy. In order to tackle such life-threatening situation, we have some important points to be shared with every pet parent.
Keep emergency number(s) of your vet and ensure all family members are aware of it.
Take immediate help from a qualifi ed veterinary clinician and follow his advice.
Report precisely the incident and symptoms of your pet to the vet.
Depending on different cases, following are some common activities done by vets in emergency situations.
Attempts would be made to regularise heart rate, blood circulation, respiration and abnormality of temperature (neither too hot nor too cold).
In case of foreign body, it would be removed fi rst and bleeding stopped by tourniquet and styptics.
The patient will be sedated when she shows excitability, epileptic seizure or colic.
Take the help of surgical intervention (if necessary).
To overcome shock, critical evaluation of the state of health is to be done through fl uid therapy, blood transfusion, etc.
In case of poisoning, specifi c antidote should be given if the poison is identified.
If the poison cannot be identified, symptomatic treatment as per the advise of clinician should be done and universal antidote may be tried.
Epistaxis (nose bleeding): Taking proper rest is a very important aspect in the management of epistaxis or nose bleeding. The patient should be kept in a cool place. Ice pack, ice water or cold water should be applied on her. Other measures include alum solution spray, adrenaline plug and administration of vitamin K and calcium therapy. If the bleeding persists, haemostastic drugs should be administered under the strict supervision of a qualifi ed vet.
Heat stroke (heat prostration): Factors responsible for this common cause include physical exercise, environmental heat, humidity, dehydration, confi nement in a room, limited water supply, obesity and heat tolerance of individual. In case of heat stroke, the patient should be kept comfortably under an electrical fan. And apply ice bath or cold-water bath to reduce her body temperature. Fluid and electrolyte therapy may be used to check dehydration. Tranquillisers or Paracetamol tablets may also be given.
Wasp and bee stings: Wasp and bee stings produce urticarial wheels on the skin, which are quite painful and irritating to the pet. Through such stings, formic acid causing the irritation is being deposited on the skin. Attempt should be made to remove the sting as far as possible. The infected area may be washed with washing soda. In this situation, antihistamic preparations are useful.
Snakebite: Normally snakes are classifi ed into poisonous and non-poisonous types. Poisonous snakes possess three types of venom, namely, Cytotoxin, Neurotoxin and Haemotoxin. A fl at tourniquet should be applied on the bitten area. The bitten area may be incised to drain out venom as far as possible. The patient should be brought under the treatment of a veterinary clinician. If the snake is identified whether poisonous or non-poisonous, it is easy to treat with the exact antidote of the venom.
Common poisoning: It is advisable to inform vet immediately in case of your pet dog has consumed a poisonous substance. And attempts should be made to keep the patient viable by giving oxygen, artifi cial respiration or fresh air. Care should be taken to maintain the vital capacity of cardio respiratory systems. In case of ingested poisoning, attempts should be extended to evacuating the toxin from the bowel (intestine). Gastric ravage my be restored by introducing 10ml of fl uid per 10kg body weight into the stomach and then aspirating the fluid through a stomach tube fi tted with syringe. The process of aspiration may be repeated for several times.
Wounds: There may be different types of wounds, such as open wound (cut wound), closed wound (contusions), lacerated wound and abraded wound. An open wound is the one where there is a breach in the continuity of skin. Whereas in a closed wound there is no such breach and the part remains as a hot and painful swelling. Sometimes blood may accumulate inside the tissue and the condition is known as haematoma.
In case of wound caused by any sharp objects like nails, hook, glass, wire twig, girder etc, it should be removed fi rst before further treatment. Open wound should be cleaned with normal saline dressed with antiseptic or antibiotic lotion or ointment. It should also be bandaged with sterile gauze and cotton. Bandage should be changed and fresh dressings should be made on alternate day. Ignore tight bandage as it may interfere blood circulation, retard healing and invite complications.
Haemorrhage (bleeding): Bleeding may originate from an artery, vein or capillaries. In case of capillary bleeding, it may be easily controlled by applying pressure bandage over the injured area. A tourniquet with rubber bands may apply firm pressure and help in reducing the bleeding.
Primary haemorrhage denotes bleeding at the time of injury or operation. And other forms of bleeding include reactionary haemorrhage occurs within 24 hours of injury or operation. And secondary haemorrhage occurs within 7-10 days of injury or operation.
Burns & scalds: Burns are broadly classifi ed into three categories as per different degrees. They are 1st degree: the damage to epithelial cells; 2nd degree: the injury involves both epidermal and dermal layer; 3rd degree: the lesions extend into deeper structure involving destruction of subcutaneous tissues.
Burns may produce pathological changes in liver, kidney and cardiovascular systems. The affected area should be flushed with cold normal saline or water. Analgesic tablets should be given to reduce pain. However, in case of extensive burn, sedatives must be used. Soothing and protective preparations like Burnol may be used while dressing the burns.
A breach in the continuity of a bone is known as fracture. It may be simple with no communications with external air. Comminuted fracture is when the bone breaks into several pieces and Complicated is the kind of injury to surrounding structures. Restriction of movement is an important aspect in the management of bone fracture. It is quite important to keep the fractured portion immobile while you inform your vet for an immediate action. As they say prevention is better that cure, so go ahead and take best care of your furry canine.

This film has a crazy cool cast which doesn't hurt it one bit.
While our leads, Benicio Del Toro and Josh Brolin are supported by the mighty Catherine Keener, some of the best performances come from the younger cast members, namely Isabela Moner and Elijah Rodriguez (both of whom I suspect we may see again in this very franchise).
I enjoyed this movie so much more than I thought I would and I think that's because this time around it takes us under the skin of Del Toro's Alejandro, who we first met in Sicario.
Where Sicario focused on the escalating war against drugs at the border area between the U.S. and Mexico, Day of Soldado examines the evolution of drugs trafficking into smuggling terrorists over the border. Which is distressing to watch anyway but in the current climate, it is brutal. One of the first scenes follows a handful of ISIS suicide bombers as they enter a supermarket and let's just say the scene is devastating.
As a result of this particular bombing, the US government enlist the services of CIA Agent Matt Graver (Brolin), who is given permission to use any means necessary to combat the Mexican drug cartels (who are the ones doing the smuggling). AMN really means extreme measures and who better to call on for help than Black Op Alejandro Gillick (Del Toro) himself?
Graver and the Department of Defense figure the best way to solve their problem is to start a war between the cartels, and Gillick is just perfect for the mission. First he murders a high-profile cartel lawyer in Mexico City, then the team kidnap the daughter of a rival kingpin (played by Isabela Moner) – and man does it all kick off from there.
Not everything goes according to plan though (go figure) and we follow both sides as the tale unravels. Gillick finds himself in a protective role as he and Isabela (the daughter) are accidentally separated from Graver and team.
As relations between the US and Mexico reach breaking point (following an explosive head to head between the team and Mexican police), the US government grow keen to distance themselves from the whole operation. Graver is forced to put Gillick in a tough position, and as choices are made and lines are drawn, the friendship is tested to the extreme.
While all this pans out, we also follow Miguel Hernandez (Rodriguez) as he becomes more and more embroiled in his role as a Mexican-American "coyote" (people smuggler). What will become of Graver, Gillick and the rest of this crazy bunch?
Sicario: DotS may not be technically as brilliant as Denis Villeneuve's Sicario (it's not very far behind though) but I found myself enjoying it just as much. While we don't witness the war through the eyes of Emily Blunt's idealistic FBI agent this time around, we do have Isabela, whose peepers are forced firmly open when she learns of the crimes of her father.
I've got a theory that we're going to meet Isabela in the next installment and that her story will run parallel to Miguel's. Good and bad, if you will – the light versus the darkness.
I fancy Brolin and De Toro SO MUCH. Damn, boys.

Q: Can I use the word 'also' like this? I wrote an essay in which I focused on the differences between travelling by train and travelling by car. I was told I can't use the word 'also' like I did in the following sentence:
"A car is suitable for exploring a limited geographical region, whereas a train is also suitable for long-distance journeys."
I understand the word 'also' here to imply that, in addition to being suitable for exploring a limited geographical region, a train is also suitable for long-distance journeys. Am I wrong?
Edit: After reading some comments, I realise I should have included the previous sentence from my essay here to provide more context. I was talking about rental cars, not cars in general. The original passage, without any omissions, reads:
"Rental companies charge extra if one wants to return the car to a different location from the pick-up point. That means a car is more suitable for exploring a limited geographical region, whereas a train is also suitable for long-distance journeys."

A: 'Also' in this sentenced is used as a comparison. You're saying that the train is also suited for long distance travelling however, you haven't stated that the car is suitable for long distance travelling and therefore, you have no comparison to your 'also' thus deeming the usage of also not effective. Additionally you use, 'whereas' which is used to say that something is either better or worse than the other thing which you have stated, this also contradicts your usage of whereas.

A: A statement "X is also Y" implies a statement "in addition to " a previous statement that states what X is or that something is Y.
So saying "The train is also good for long distance journeys" only works if you have previously stated either something else the train is good for, or something else that is good for long distance journeys.
You have not done either so you should not use "also".

The event also featured a screening of a documentary about Friedlander's life, directed by noted German filmmaker Thomas Halaczinsky.
"They were the last words from my mother, delivered by a stranger," Friedlander read aloud from her book at the event. She told the audience that she started writing the book by hand in English and later switched to German.
Friedlander spent 13 months in hiding, moving around with the aid of 16 different people from an underground network. She was confronted by the Gestapo three times and was eventually sent to a labor camp in former Czechoslovakia, where she met and married her husband. They immigrated to New York in 1947, swearing they would never return to Germany. But just four years ago, Friedlander moved back to Berlin permanently.
After her husband passed away in 1997, Friedlander began taking a writing class at the 92nd Street Y, where her husband had formerly worked. There, she met Halaczinsky, who overheard her read an excerpt of her soon-to-be book and eventually approached her about producing a documentary on her life.
His first film on Friedlander, "Don't Call it Heimweh," premiered in 2004, and his follow-up film, "A Long Way Home," — which followed Friedlander on her move back to Berlin — premiered in 2010. The latter was shown at the event.
Petrina Engelke, the New York-based German journalist who led the discussion, said Friedlander was a great subject to interview because she was willing to answer any question.
"Talking to her was very interesting for me," Engelke said.
Friedlander will stay in the United States for about three weeks. She said she plans to travel to Washington, D.C., to read in two schools and sign books at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum and then return to New York to celebrate Passover with friends.
Friedlander said although she is keeping busy in the United States, it was still difficult to return and she is looking forward to returning to Berlin.
"I'm very busy and it's very exciting, but its very hard for me and very emotional," she said.
*Correction: A previous version of this article stated that Friedlander's husband passed away in 2003. He passed away in 1997. Additionally, Friedlander will sign books at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, not the Jewish Museum.

Elliotts branches out to Dorset with its latest store
Published: 10 April, 2015
Elliotts, the independent supplier of building products for the trade and public, is set to open a new branch in Dorset on 20 April.
Following increased demand from the Dorset area, which is seeing a flurry of construction projects come to life, the firm will open a new store in Christchurch. It takes Elliotts' number of branches to 13 and marks the company's move to open more stores outside of Hampshire.
Former Bournemouth, Portsmouth and Southampton football manager Harry Redknapp launched the new branch at a preview event for customers and special guests on 10 April.
Speaking at the event, Mr Redkanpp said: "I am delighted to open the new Elliotts branch. I have had a long friendship and association with the builders' merchant, which was also a huge support to me and Bournemouth Football Club."
The Christchurch branch, based on Airfield Way, is one of Elliotts' biggest stores in the South and will give professional builders in the area more convenient access to the quality building materials and trusted advice the merchant is known for.
It will sell a huge range of products and the company has made a pledge that if there are any construction products or materials that builders can't find elsewhere locally, it will do its best to hunt them down and stock them in the new branch.
Tom Elliott, managing director of Elliotts, said: "Branching out into Dorset means we can offer our products to an even wider customer base, giving more choice to our local trade customers. This new site enables us to offer existing and new trade customers the most comprehensive range of competitively priced building products in the area."
Elliotts' Tadley branch welcomes two new appointments
Elliotts has announced two new appointments at its Tadley branch, following what the company says has been a successful first year of trading.

Would you like to be informed as soon as new Adidas discount arrives?
There are plenty of sportswear brands out there - some of them well-known while others are still finding their way onto the mainstream market. However, there is the one and only that is so easily recognised around the world, and that can provide their users with such an experience. Once you try the Adidas brand yourself, there is little to no chance of ever wanting to wear and use another one. Learn more about the brand and how you can shop for their products online with the use of Picodi.
Adidas is a well-known German brand manufacturing sportswear and equipment, founded in the 1920s in a small town in Bavaria. The name came from the founder himself - Adi Dassler who was unsuccessful initially but quickly picked himself up, dusted himself off and developed his company. By the end of the 1940s, his shoe factory had 47 dedicated employees who worked their best to create the best shoes on the market. He also made one of the biggest decisions regarding his venture, one that would still last until today - he registered the famous three stripe design. One that makes it easy for everyone to recognise Adidas across the world.
In the following years, his company helped the German team win the World Cup. In 1954 Germans played against Hungarians in the heavy rain and due to the revolutionary idea of screw-in studs, they were able to play more effectively and get more friction on the pitch. Once that invention placed Dassler's company on the map, it came time to introduce other products into the line. Starting from tracksuits, Adidas is currently the leading brand in sportswear, loved and appreciated by millions of customers across the world.
Adidas likes to cooperate with people from various industries to create collections that spark the interest of customers from all walks of life. Products signed by singers, designers, music producers and athletes bring a new touch to the sporty character of the attire. Such collaborations result in lines that become very popular all over the world, and that can be mixed with a variety of styles.
Apart from the historic tracksuit worn by the famous footballer Franz Beckenbauer, Adidas invited artists such as Run DMC or, just a few years ago, Pharrell Williams into its midst. The one and only Missy Elliot sported her athlete style in her videos and concerts while Kanye West added his Yeezy character into a model of sports shoes. That's not all, though. Can a sports brand, the absolute leader, be associated with high-end designers at all? Adidas is open to that as well, which is why it has also collaborated with Stella McCartney.
One might wonder, what does the sports and fashion or music industries have to do with each other? The answer is the customer. At the end of the day, it's always all about the person who is wearing the clothes. And if a business wants to invite more people into its world, it makes perfect sense to create something new and exciting, something the users can relate to. This way, even those who aren't all that crazy about practising sports can get excited about the sports fashion and perhaps start being active as well.
When you're on the website, take a closer look at the most popular collections available in the store and decide which ones are the best for you: Yeezy, Adidas EQT, Adidas ACE, ZX Flux, Adidas originals superstars, Adidas Crazy, P.O.D System, Y-3, adidas Deerupt, Adidas Alric and more.
Adidas wants their customers to have access to the same products they would have if they went to a store. It's why the company makes it so easy to use the website as the categories are set out so intuitively. On the top of the page, you get the basic differentiation: men, women, kids. However, when you scroll down the site, you can go directly to the most frequently search for products: shoes, clothing, accessories, and football boots. You can also look for New Arrivals - the latest trends in its purest form and Outlet. An outlet is a fantastic place for all those who wish to save money while they shop for sports attire. It allows you to save up to 50% on those products which are from the old collections. Remember though, that time is running out so better hurry up before someone else spots the best picks. In this category, for your convenience, all products are further divided into types of sports.
Throughout its history, Adidas created various brands, each directed at a different type of user, all belonging to the same family of great quality products. It makes it easy for all shoppers to find what they need and identify with the philosophy behind making the clothes and footwear. When you're on the website, then, you can look through originals, ATHLETICS, Stella McCartney and skateboarding. Sportswear for those who aren't afraid to reach for the stars and for the things they want in life, who wouldn't give up and who strive to work harder every day to achieve their goals. That's the idea!
Very often, companies release information on their new collections, including those which appear as a result of a collaboration. It sparks interest and lets the customer sleep on the decision of purchasing them. You can find the release dates of new products by scrolling down the site to the menu and clicking on "Release Dates."
Of course, both types of shopping (in the store and online) have their upsides and downsides. On the one hand, when you visit the store, you're able to try on the things you wish to buy - therefore there's no confusion with regards to the sizing. On the other hand, it takes so much time! Adidas wants to make it easier on you by providing you with practical information in the form of size charts. They will advise you on how to measure yourself when you're a man or a woman and what to do if you find yourself in between sizes. Additionally, if upon delivery, you find that the size isn't right, after all, you can return the unused item for free.
Speaking of delivery, you get a variety of options in this matter. First of all, if you wish to collect the item from the store yourself, you can do that for free. Simply pop into the store on your way back from the office or school and sign for it! Moreover, orders placed for MY delivery of over RM150 are also shipped free of charge. Other than that, you get a choice between the standard or express delivery - whichever suits you best.
It sometimes happens that we simply change our minds and don't want the item anymore. Adidas understands that and gives you 100 days (yes, you read it correctly) to return it without giving a reason provided you didn't wear or use it, and it still has tags on it. Of course, some items are excluded from the list, however, in a majority of cases, you are free to return an undamaged product to the store.
Even though Adidas is proud to present collections that can suit your needs, it might happen that you don't find the exact right product. Perhaps it's just the feeling, perhaps the colour is wrong, or maybe it's just not you. This is the reason why Adidas is happy to give you an opportunity to customise your wear by designing it. Yes, you can, quite literally, become an Adidas designer and have one of a kind product for yourself only.
Start with a blank page. Play with silhouettes you're interested in. In the case of shoes, it's a trainer, a flip-flop or a city sneaker. Then, go to themes. Choose your colour and material. Maybe you want a pink metallic, and you couldn't find it in any of the collections? This is your chance to create it. See which elements of suede or gum you can add to your shoe and play with styles. Finally, choose a creator. All of them present different styles and create for different types of people so you can pick which one would represent your character in the best way.
When you're done, and you're ready to sport your designer shoes (@your name), don't forget to present it to the world with the hashtag miadidas.
It's crucial to show the little ones how important sport is. Being active helps to strengthen the immune system, which is a factor in combating illnesses, and remains the most important element in building strong bones and muscles. With an internet revolution and the rise in popularity of games, children no longer want to get involved in sports, and that's one of the biggest downsides of the technology revolution. With Adidas online store, you can start to change that.
Often children aren't interested in sports because they cannot relate to it. Kids are all about fun. They learn at school, and afterwards, they want to play, do something that gives them pleasure. Sport is one of the best things for kids because it helps to release endorphins. However, the outdoor play needs to be supported by the proper footwear and clothing so that it doesn't restrict their movements and prevents them from injuring themselves. Adidas is an expert in creating sportswear for children of all ages. From little kiddy trainers that are just too precious to miss out on to teenage sneakers - parents can find everything in one place.
Get your little ones (they all remain children to their parents, regardless of their age) interested in sports and be active with them. Show them how beneficial it is for them and who knows, maybe you'll be responsible for creating the next ultimate athlete who scores gold medals at the Olympics? It all has to start somewhere.
Adidas doesn't just sell their goods all over the world, reports sky-rocketing revenue and impresses their users with the quality of their products. The brand wants to promote the healthy lifestyle around the world, also in the corporate world. By showing that incorporating sport into your daily work life is easier than you think, it encourages every employee or entrepreneur to take action into their own hands and to spread the word across. You can read their articles on their website to see how easy it is to learn on the go by listening to podcasts, how sport can change the world and improve the living situation of entire communities and what is the most important in playing team sports.
With such a large business all over the world, it only makes sense to make it a better place and play its role in making it more sustainable for future generations.
Shopping in the traditional shop is easy but doing it online can also save you plenty of time. You can do that in different ways. First of all, if you know what you're looking for, you can simply type in the products name or category into the search box. It will pop on your screen. Or you can just look for it with the use of categories that are on the website. This is also very easy - all you need to do is click a few times on the appropriate tab.
When you see that there is a product of your choice, you can click on it and select the features of it, for example, the colour and size. Choose how many items you want and add them to your online basket. Continue shopping. Remember that if you have an account already, your basket will remain full even if you leave the session. You won't have that luxury as a guest shopper.
Once you finish with shopping, you can return to your basket and see if you have everything you need. Then, enter your promotional code, if you have any, and choose your delivery mode. Enter your details, shipping address and confirm your payment.
your details, shipping address and confirm your payment.
Adidas wants you to feel as comfortable as possible when you shop at their store, which is why it gives you a variety of options for making your payment. What it means is that you can pay with any of the following cards: Visa, American Express MasterCard, Maestro, however for those who want to take precautions when making payments online, there are other choices as well. You can use PayPal, Google Pay or Apple Pay. If, for any reason, you change your mind within the first 15 minutes from placing and paying for your order, you are entitled to cancelling it.
To make your payments a little bit smaller, you can use your Picodi account. If you don't have it already, simply register it online and you will soon start receiving updates on promotions and codes. It's completely free and you can access it whenever you please. Your promotions will apply to British stores and service providers and sometimes to international ones as well.
Adidas, just like last year, will be participating in the Black Friday 2018 and Cyber Monday 2018 sales this month. Make sure to check regularly for new deals related to both events!

Third Time's A Charm? Amazon Tries Again With Launch Of New Vertical, Amazon Wine
Amazon.com announced the launch of a new marketplace today, Amazon Wine, which offers customers a selection of over 1,000 wines from various wineries around the U.S. The new store – Amazon's third attempt at entering this market – arrives just ahead of the holidays, providing shoppers with tools that will help them locate the right type of wine, suggest food pairings, and offer tasting notes, as well as other wine details, like information about the winery or the total case production.
In addition, Amazon customers can research things like the wine's American Viticultural Area (AVA), composition, and percentage of alcohol. The search engine on the site has been customized to help shoppers discover wines that match their own interests, like those rated "90 & Up" in their Professional Rating, or they can pick a tasting note like "cherry" or a winery's location, in order to filter the results.
The service includes access to a wide range of wineries, from smaller, family-owned business like Roadhouse Winery in Sonoma County that only produces 3,000 cases a year of their hand-crafted Pinot Noir, for example, as well as larger, corporate operations like the 650-acre Flora Springs Winery and Vineyards in Napa Valley. Notably, Amazon is not touting the number of wineries participating in the new marketplace, but is instead encouraging others to sign up to learn more. Currently, Amazon's selection comes mainly from California, Washington, and Oregon, with featured wine country regions as Napa Valley, Sonoma, Paso Robles, Walla Walla, Red Mountain, and Willamette Valley.
Amazon Wine isn't yet available everywhere in the U.S. The company says it supports shipments in the following states currently, with other states coming soon: California, Connecticut, Florida, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Nevada, North Carolina, Oregon, Washington, Wyoming and the District of Columbia.
Because shipping wine is subject to different types of laws than the other goods Amazon sells, it has set up a special page to keep customers informed about the various restrictions at Amazon.com/wineshipping.
Amazon's launch into this new vertical means it's now competing against longtime wine shopping sites, like San Francisco-based Wine.com, which now ships over 2.5 million bottles per year across states representing 90 percent of the U.S. adult population. Incidentally (but not coincidentally), Wine.com launched a new marketplace earlier this week ahead of Amazon's news, which offers its customers expanded access to wines with limited distribution, including both domestic and imported wines. The marketplace was soft-launched earlier in the year, but now offers access to over 10,000 wines annually, and includes free shipping for those paying the $49 annual fee.
Wine.com was also quick to point out the differences between its site and Amazon's forthcoming service, noting that Wine.com handles all the fulfillment, storage and shipping logistics including any fees, whereas Amazon cannot, for example. And because Amazon can't combine fulfillment orders from different wineries, each Amazon Wine order from a different winery will be shipped separately, requiring an adult signature.
According to reports, Amazon is charging wineries a 15 percent referral fee, a cooperative fee of $49 for every $350 in sales, and a subscription fee of $39.99 a month. This is not Amazon's first attempt at the wine business – that was in 2000, when it invested in Wineshopper.com along with Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, a site that later became a victim to the dot-com crash. New Vine Logistics arose from the remains of Wineshopper, and Amazon planned to launch with them instead. But New Vine's investors pulled out in 2009, when the California Alcoholic Beverage Control agency issued an advisory that essentially made it illegal for third-party online retailers to make money off the sale of alcohol without a license – something which conflicted with the business model the new venture had planned.
Today, Amazon is giving it another go, and is kicking off today's launch with a promotion that will allow customers to select up to six bottles of their favorite wine for $9.99. Other wine prices on the site vary, depending on the bottle. Amazon is also promoting an Amazon Wine Mailing List, which will offer occasional updates on the service and new products.

Home Opinion Worth Reading Bush-league argument
Bush-league argument
Browsing the website of U.S. News & World Report today (Feb. 6), I came across commentary from Simon Rosenberg, president of the progressive think tank NDN. Mr. Rosenberg made clear he is not impressed with a recent economy-centered speech by former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, who has all but announced he will seek the 2016 Republican presidential nomination. Mr. Rosenberg claimed Mr. Bush lacks credibility on this issue because – in his view – the former governor's father and brother, former Presidents George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush, helped tank the economy.
"Both Presidents Bush brought recession and larger annual budget deficits while Presidents (Bill) Clinton and (Barack) Obama brought strong job creation, smaller annual deficits and soaring stock markets. Given the track record of his family's time in the White House, and the success both recent Democratic presidents have had in cleaning up the mess they made, Jeb has a lot of work to do this cycle," Mr. Rosenberg asserted.
To say the least, this is a simplistic argument.
While it is true that the United States experienced a six-month recession under George H.W. Bush, data from the National Bureau of Economic Research indicate the longest peacetime economic expansion in American history kicked off in March 1991, a little more than halfway through Mr. Bush's term; this was the focus of an October 2012 article by Andrew Romano of The Daily Beast. Also, while the federal budget was in the red when Mr. Bush left the White House on Jan. 20, 1993, the departing president's 1990 budget deal did much to put the country on a path to a balanced budget. Don't believe me? Read these pieces from Bush administration Treasury Department official Bruce Bartlett and liberal scholar Jonathan Rauch. Far from leaving behind a "mess," Mr. Bush actually bequeathed to Mr. Clinton a country in solid shape.
Speaking of the 42nd president, when his record is put under the microscope, it is clear he isn't exactly the economic maestro Mr. Rosenberg and others make him out to be. For starters, as Mr. Rauch noted, "Clinton pushed through $433 billion in deficit reduction over five years, or almost seven percent of GDP. … (George H.W. Bush's) budget agreement – signed with Democrats, over his own party's opposition – reduced the deficit by $482 billion over five years, or close to nine percent of GDP. Relative to the economy, Bush's anti-deficit package was 27 percent larger than Clinton's." Obviously, the heralded '90s economy began its ascent before Mr. Clinton took office, but there is more: As this CNN report noted, by the final months of the Clinton administration, there was concern that a recession was about to take hold. Sure enough, in March 2001, a recession arrived and the 10-year period of economic expansion came to an end. Mr. Clinton had left the Oval Office by that point, but his policies still were on the books. Additionally, Mr. Clinton arguably set the stage for the 2007-09 recession. Read these accounts of Fox Business Network's Charles Gasparino; Time magazine; The Associated Press; and Great Britain's The Guardian newspaper.
I'm not as apt to defend George W. Bush's record. His tenure was marked by massive deficits, and as the Time and Guardian reports noted, cases can be made that he, too, contributed to the "Great Recession." However, it is difficult to argue President Obama has made things better.
In his Jan. 20 State of the Union address, Mr. Obama boasted that on his watch, the deficit has been cut by two-thirds. Technically, this is true, but the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office recently estimated the budget hole will begin increasing in fiscal year 2017. The president has demonstrated little interest in putting the country on a sustainable path. This Feb. 2 piece from syndicated columnist Scott Rasmussen noted that in 2015, the federal government is set to spend $138 billion more than it did in 2009. For fiscal year 2016, Mr. Obama proposed a record $4 trillion budget that would not tackle entitlement spending. While candidate Obama decried as "unpatriotic" the $4 trillion George W. Bush added to the national debt in eight years, President Obama has added $8 trillion in six years. Meanwhile, FactCheck.org cited data from the departments of Labor and Commerce that undermine the president's State of the Union claims of enviable economic and job growth. The AP noted that underemployment has been quite a presence in the Obama years.
Needless to say, Mr. Rosenberg was a bit off the mark. I can't help but wonder if his tripe is indicative of progressive angst about the prospect of Jeb Bush as the 2016 Republican nominee.

Dissertation topic:
Locked to a Decision | What Drives Consumer Path Dependence?
The dissertation project focuses on consumer decision-making and the mechanisms that drive consumer path dependence. The positive feedback mechanisms, which can potentially lead to an inefficient lock-in situation, have up to now mainly been studied in an organizational or technological context. The aim of this dissertation is therefore to broaden the range of application of path dependent theory by applying it to the individual level of analysis.

CD Review – Se7en Sided "Life On Hold"
CD Review – Se7en Sided – Life On Hold
Released – September 20, 2011
by Jade Sperry
Se7en Sided are a stellar band from Edmonton AB. Their CD Life On Hold was released on September 20, 2011. At that time I was hospitalized and couldn't even listen the CD until I was released in early October. The 12 song CD is a good progression from their first CD "The Silver Lining. The band had Randor Lin produce and engineer the CD and it was mastered by Charles Carvalho at Joao Carvalho Mastering. I really enjoy this bands' music as it speaks the truth about how lives are lived – it's honest music. Not a lot of bands do that – tell it like it is. Straight up music.
The track listing is as follows:
1. All I Got
2. Restart
3. Letter
4. Wild One
5. Do You Miss Me?
7. You and the Rain
9. Carry On
10. I Wouldn't Trade
Edmonton's Se7en Sided
All of the songs on this CD are very well written musically. Lyrically, I find this band has honest music and I think that has carried over to this new CD from the 2010's The Silver Lining. I hear more maturity with the songs lyrically which is good because time marches on. Darren Rogers fronts the band and has superb vocals with a good range. Dan Sittler is shredding with lead guitars, Marcus Engel on bass and Aaron Hanley on drums. This band is musically tight and you can hear how well they perform as one unit in studio and onstage. They've played with bands like Econoline Crush, Defualt, Armchair Cynics, The Artist Life and Social Code.
Starting out the CD is "All I Got" which starts with a female voice letting you know what's coming up with a 30 second spot of guitar work and then full on into a fast tempo, slightly punked out guitars and then its off in another direction musically – more rock and a ballad like melody in the middle eights. Basically it's a song about true feelings of devotion. Following the person who means the most to you. This is a really well written song both lyrically and musically. "Restart" starts out fairly slow and questions a relationship that maybe hasn't fully ended and how to face that emotion in each other. The bass and drums work well together as does the guitars. Awesome song! This writer's favorite song is "Letter" that is pure kick ass music. The guitars just shred so good and the melody flows out of the instruments like a waterfall. I really dig the melody of this song in general and I honestly can say that this music is Se7en Sided and original. "Who We Were" starts out like a ballad with slow lead in music that gets a bit more defined by about the 1 minute 50 second mark. Going separate ways is hard to deal with at any point in time but as days goes by you realize that you've grown in an opposite way to your partner's life.
Other songs that are a highlight – "Carry On" and "I Wouldn't Trade". Overall this CD has songs and lyrics for anyone to listen and relate to. Honest music through and through.
You can find the band at the following sites: Twitter Facebook YouTube MySpace
Live Acoustic Session (from October 23, 2011) which is from the band's YouTube channel.

20 Foods That Spoil the Fastest
Save money by knowing which foods go rotten the fastest—and how to make them last longer.
By Sharon Feiereisen September 30, 2016
By Sharon Feiereisen
"How old are these Oreos," an Eat This, Not That! staffer asked her dad a while back, home for a long weekend.
"I don't remember," her old man answered. "When was ALF last on the air?"
He ate them anyway. You couldn't do that with an avocado.
It's an unfortunate truth that many of the priciest and healthiest (read preservative and chemical-free) foods are the very same ones that spoil the fastest. Knowing a few simple tricks can help them last longer—some rules of thumb, for example, include avoiding washing and chopping up your produce before you're ready to consume them, and making sure you're storing all of your eats properly (tomatoes should NEVER be in your fridge!).
But to find out more about which items you need to be paying particularly close attention to we reached out to some well-known health experts and asked them to single out foods that spoil the fastest and what we can do to extend their freshness.
Berries are considered highly perishable fruits. After a couple of days they tend to mold, become discolored and wet. Store them in the refrigerator for maximum freshness where they can stay fresh for up to eight days. Note, however, that when berries begin to spoil don't think you can simply cut off or toss the piece of moldy fruit. "Mold can grow below the surface and can be difficult to see; it also spreads quickly to nearby fruit. Be safe and toss it," says Kathy Siegel, MS, RDN, CDN.
When stored in the pantry or on the counter bananas last two to five days. "It's important to keep your unripe bananas away from those that are already ripe," says Siegel. "Ripened bananas will let off ethylene, a gas that will speed up the ripening of adjacent fruits." It's best to buy less ripe bananas and let them ripen at home. Also note that storing bananas in brown bags (like grocery bags) can make them ripen faster. Just because you have a few over ripened bananas, however, doesn't mean you need to toss them; make banana bread!
Tomatoes love the heat but hate the cold. "Putting tomatoes in the fridge can quickly cause them to become soft and mealy. Instead, leave them on the counter and enjoy them when they're ripe," recommends Dr. Zelana Montminy, Suja's health and wellness expert and author of 21 Days to Resilience. If stored on your counter tomatoes should last a week.
"Peaches go bad quickly because they give off ethylene gas which makes them ripen faster once they start to get ripe," says Isabel Smith, MS RD CDN, founder of Isabel Smith Nutrition. "Keep them in the fridge and away from other ethylene producing produce."
"Potatoes prefer cool over cold, and storing them in the fridge can cause their starch to convert to sugar more quickly, affecting their taste, texture and flavor," says Dr. Montminy. "Instead, potatoes are best left in a cool, dry cupboard, which will help extend their shelf life and result in a better taste."
Avocados will last three to four days on the counter and seven to 10 days in the refrigerator according to Siegel. "A ripe avocado is dark green on the outside, slightly firm to touch and light green on the inside. An avocado has spoiled if it's black or brown in color and has indents in the skin." Once an avocado is ripe, it can be stored in the refrigerator for two to three additional days. For optimal storing keep unripe avocados on your counter until they're ready to eat and then store them in your fridge.
Green beans, either fresh or cooked, should last five to seven days in the refrigerator. "Spoiled green beans will become limp and moist," says Siegel. "Keep your beans dry during storage, if the beans become damp, they can quickly grow mold. If you see mold, throw them away!" Also note that green beans are ethylene-sensitive so keep them away from ethylene-producing produce. Ideally store your beans in an open Ziploc bag with a piece of paper towel to absorb excess moisture.
Dark leafy greens wilt quickly. "To save them from moisture loss, wrap them in a plastic bag with a piece of paper towel and store in the produce drawer to add days to their life," recommends Desiree Nielsen, BSc, RD.
Cold Pressed Juices
Most cold-pressed juices are not pasteurized, making them very easily spoiled. "In addition, many nutrients such as vitamin C degrade quickly – so for the most nutritious drink, use cold-pressed juices within a couple of days and always keep them refrigerated," says Nielsen.
Fresh broccoli will last refrigerated for seven to 10 days. "Broccoli will begin to smell and change color at the first sign of spoilage and the crisp texture will become limp," explains Siegel. "Moreover the longer broccoli is stored the greater the loss of nutrients; Vitamin C in broccoli degrades particularly rapidly after harvest and this degradation continues during storage. After seven days of storage, the vitamin C content of vegetables, such as broccoli, could be as much as 100% lost." Also note that broccoli, like green beans, is an ethylene-sensitive food, so you don't want to store it with your fruit and you shouldn't store it in a closed bag because broccoli needs air circulation to prevent mold.
It doesn't matter whether you're buying them fresh or they're from a can, mushrooms won't last more than 10 days; sliced mushrooms usually only last five days. To optimize freshness store your mushrooms in a cool, dry place and in a paper bag. It's important not to keep mushrooms in a plastic bag because they'll trap moisture and cause them to mildew.
Asparagus lasts about two days meaning you should cook it as soon as possible after purchase not only for optimal taste, but also for optimal nutrition. "Trim off the bottoms of the stems when storing asparagus and place them in water and cover the tops with a plastic bag to keep them as fresh as possible," says Dr. Montminy.
The chickpea-based snack will last three to four days in the refrigerator. "Hummus can become a breeding ground for the dangerous bacteria Listeria that cannot be seen," cautions Siegel. "It's best kept stored in an airtight container, keeping out moisture and contaminants."
Cooked Grains
Cooked grains will last approximately four to six days in the refrigerator. Siegel recommends storing grains in airtight containers. "Remember, bacteria can grow rapidly at temperatures between 40 °F and 140 °F even in grains. Grains left out for more than two hours at room temperature should be discarded."
Peeled or unpeeled hard-boiled eggs are safe one week after cooking when stored in the refrigerator. Leaving hard-boiled eggs at room temperature for extended periods of time allows for dangerous bacteria to grow. Siegel warns that any hard-boiled eggs left at room temperature for longer than two hours should be tossed.
Cooked Vegetables
Cooked vegetables can be stored in the refrigerator for three to seven days in an airtight container. Vegetables that contain higher water content, like broccoli, will lose their quality more rapidly than those that contain less water. Seasoned vegetables will grow mold more rapidly.
"All deli meats, prepackaged or fresh cut from the deli, should be kept refrigerated and consumed within three to five days," says Siegel. "Deli meats should be properly stored in a meat drawer or toward the back of the refrigerator where it is coldest to reduce the risk of bacterial growth that can cause food poisoning. Deli meats can quickly grow the bacteria Listeria which can be very dangerous to pregnant women or those with a weakened immune systems."
Parsley is a delicate plant; oxygen exposure can cause it to brown or yellow. "Too much moisture will rot it while not enough, wilts it," says Nielsen. "Treat all herbs like you would a plant: trim the ends, place in a glass with an inch of water and ideally, top with a Ziploc bag to protect from moisture loss."
"Because spoilage bacteria is present in yogurt, it will spoil easily," says Nielsen who recommends getting your probiotics from Bio-K+, which is probiotic supplement packaged in a sterile environment with no spoilage bacteria, if you won't be consuming your yogurt soon after purchase.
"Fish is probably the most delicate of foods with respect to spoilage," says Nielsen. "It contains healthy fats, which go bad quickly in addition to enzymes that breakdown the proteins in the fish along with bacteria that are well-adapted to colder temperatures, meaning that refrigeration doesn't slow them down as much." In the refrigerator, place fish on a bed of ice in a plastic container. Pour off water and refresh ice as it melts. Eat fresh fish within two days.

Die Raseborg (schwed. Raseborgs slott, finn. Raaseporin linna) ist eine mittelalterliche Burgruine im Süden Finnlands. Sie befindet sich im Gebiet der Stadt Raseborg in der Landschaft Uusimaa.

Lage

Die Raseborg ist eine Höhenburg. Sie wurde auf einem Felsen erbaut, der ursprünglich von allen Seiten mit Wasser umgeben war, weshalb sie vom Meer per Schiff zugänglich war. Heute fließt der nach der Burg benannte Fluss Raseborgs å in einiger Entfernung an ihr vorbei. Die Burg liegt an der Südküste Finnlands im westlichen Uusimaa auf halber Strecke zwischen Helsinki und Turku nahe der Ortschaft Snappertuna, die seit 1977 zu der Stadt Ekenäs gehört. Seit 2009 gibt die Burg der neu gegründeten Stadt Raseborg, die durch den Zusammenschluss von Ekenäs, Karis und Pohja entstand, den Namen.

Erbaut wurde die Raseborg an einer historischen Reiseroute der Waräger, die auf ihrem Weg von den europäischen Handelsplätzen Hedeby, Gotland und Birka zu ihren Handelspartnern bei den Slawen und in Byzanz die finnische Küste passieren mussten.

Geschichte

Die erste schriftliche Erwähnung der Raseborg findet sich 1378 in Dokumenten des schwedischen Reichsdrostes Bo Jonsson Grip, der Finnland von 1371 bis 1384 regierte. Aus diesen Dokumenten geht nicht hervor, wie alt die Burg zu diesem Zeitpunkt ist, nach heutigen Erkenntnissen geht man jedoch davon aus, dass die Bauarbeiten 1374 begannen und Grip nicht nur Eigentümer, sondern auch Auftraggeber des Baus war. Die Burgmauern wurden in mehreren Phasen auf einem vergletscherten Felsen errichtet und umgeben die beinahe quadratische Granitburg in Form eines Hufeisens. An die Burg wurden zwei Außenhöfe angebaut. Der große Rundturm wurde im 15. Jahrhundert errichtet.

Die Raseborg war der Sitz des Kronvogts, der für die Verwaltung der westlichen Südküste Finnlands zuständig war. Sie war ein bedeutender Handelsort und verantwortlich für die Verteidigung der schwedischen Interessen im Handel mit der livländischen Hansestadt Reval. Auf dem Hügel neben der Burg – dem Galgbacken – wurde am 16. Dezember 1520 im Auftrag des dänischen Königs Christian II. der schwedische Bischof Hemming Gadh hingerichtet.

Anfang des 16. Jahrhunderts übernahm König Gustav I. Wasa die Herrschaft über Schweden und Finnland. Er hielt die Burg für veraltet, vor allem was ihre Verteidigungsmöglichkeiten gegen Feuerwaffen betraf. Deshalb übertrug er die Aufgaben der Burg an die neu gegründeten Städte Tammisaari (heute Ekenäs) und Helsinki. 1553 wurde die Burg aufgegeben und verfiel drei Jahrhunderte lang.

In den 1890er Jahren begannen die bis 1988 andauernden Renovierungsarbeiten. Die Renovierung wurde von offizieller Seite vor Abschluss eingestellt, da eine vollständige Restaurierung aufgrund lückenhafter Informationen zum ursprünglichen Aufbau der Burg nicht möglich sei. Bis zur Einstellung der Arbeiten wurden die Böden, Stiegen und Galerien restauriert und überdacht.

Heutige Nutzung
Die Ruine ist zur Besichtigung freigegeben. Im Sommer werden von Raseborgs Festspel zahlreiche Veranstaltungen organisiert. Dazu gehören ein Mittsommerfest, antike Märkte, Mittelalterfestivals, Konzerte und Theateraufführungen. In der näheren Umgebung der Burg befinden sich ein Volksmuseum, eine alte Holzkirche und eine Jugendherberge.

Q: UICollectionViewCell with IBOutlets and segues I've created a custom UICollectionViewCell that has several buttons and labels within it. I need each button to bring up a different view via popover. I tried putting segues on the buttons and that gave me compiler errors.
".../MainStoryboard_iPad.storyboard: Couldn't compile connection: <IBCocoaTouchOutletConnection:0x4012ea380  <IBProxyObject: 0x4012d7600> => anchorView => <IBUICollectionViewCell: 0x4012d06a0>>"

I tried putting the segue on the prototype cell itself, same result. I removed all of the IBOutlets from the buttons and labels, still get compiler errors.
How does one properly set up a collection view cell to outlets and segues? I've seen tutorials that do this very thing but it's simply not working.
TIA!
Janene

A: Here's what worked for me. I wanted each collection view cell to have a button that would bring up a popup.
First, in Interface Builder, I created a new view controller in my storyboard - this view controller is the destination popover when the user touches the button. In IB, make sure to give this view controller a Storyboard ID in the Identity Inspector, I used "destinationView." In the Attributes Inspector, I set the Size to "Form Sheet" and set Presentation to "Form Sheet."
I dropped the button onto my collection view cell in my collection view on the source view controller.
In my source view controller, I created a method to handle the button:
- (IBAction)handleButton:(id)sender

Then I hooked that button action up to that method in the source view controller in Interface Builder.
The code for this function looked like:
- (IBAction)handleButton:(id)sender
{
    UIStoryboard* storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:@"MainStoryboard" bundle:nil];

    // get an instance of the destination view controller
    // you can set any info that needs to be passed here
    // just use the "sender" variable to find out what view/button was touched
    DestinationViewController *destVC = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"destinationView"];

    // create a navigation controller (so we can have buttons and a title on the title bar of the popover)
    UINavigationController *navController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:destVC];

    // say that we want to present it modally
    [navController setModalPresentationStyle:UIModalPresentationFormSheet];

    // show the popover
    [[self navigationController] presentViewController:navController animated:YES completion:^{

    }];
}

In my destination view controller, I added a title, and a Done button for dismissing the popover:
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];

    self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"Done" style:UIBarButtonItemStyleDone target:self action:@selector(dismissExampleButton:)];

    self.title = @"Example Title";
}

- (IBAction)dismissExampleButton:(id)sender
{
    [[self parentViewController] dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:^{

    }];
}

Note that I tried to use segues instead. However, the popup did not work for me, it merely animated to a new full size destination view controller, even though the setting in IB was "Form Sheet." I set up the destination view controller in IB as above, and created a segue from the source view controller to the destination view controller. I gave the segue an Identifier in the Attributes Inspector, like "exampleSegue". And I hooked my button up to the action in the source view controller.
With this way, the source view controller looked like:
- (IBAction)handleButton:(id)sender
{
    [self performSegueWithIdentifier:@"exampleSegue" sender:sender];
}

And, to get data to the destination view controller, I also implemented this in the source view controller:
-(void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender
{
    if ([[segue identifier] isEqualToString:@"exampleSegue"]) {

        DestinationViewController *destViewController = (DestinationViewController *)[segue destinationViewController];

        // give the destViewController additional info here
        // destViewController.title.text = @"blah";
        // etc.
    }
}


Beautiful photos! And what a beautiful park. I'm in desperate need of a daycation.
