May is National Pet Cancer Awareness Month. With thirty percent of dogs suffering from a type of pet cancer—approximately 1 in 4 will develop the disease in their lifetime—it is important to understand the risks and warning signs associated with cancer in our canine friends.
According to the National Canine Cancer Society, there are forty or more types of canine cancer. See the whole list, or reference our shortlist of the most common here:
- Hemangiosarcoma
- Lymphoma
- Malignant Histiocytoma
- Mammary Tumors
- Mast Cell Tumors
- Melanoma
- Osteosarcoma
- Prostate Cancer
We have identified a few early warning signs that could exhibit symptoms of cancer in your pup. While an in-depth examination of one or more of these symptoms in your pet may turn up negative for cancer, it is still worth the trip to see your vet. Just as early detection is advantageous for humans, so too does it increase the likelihood of survival for our furry family members.
Bumps, Lumps, or Raised Areas on the Skin
Get into the habit of checking your pet regularly and feeling his or her skin for smoothness. If you spot a bump that has not been checked previously, you should make an appointment to see your vet.
Weight Loss
If your pet maintains a moderately active lifestyle and you have not made any recent dietary changes, his or her weight should stay steady. Should you notice any drastic unattributed weight loss, this could be a sign of cancer or some other type of sickness. See your vet immediately.
Changes in Appetite
Is Buddy avoiding his bacon treats? A lack of interest in food or a dramatic change in appetite is an early warning sign of cancer, as well as many other illnesses. Monitor your pup's appetite and eating patterns. If they seem off, see your vet.
You've known your pup for years; if she is not acting herself, this could be cause for concern. If your dog is spending more and more time asleep, ask your vet about the potential for cancer or another illness. It's always better to be safe than sorry.
Respiratory Issues
If your pet experiences wheezing or shortness of breath after minimal exercise, this could be an early indicator of lung cancer.
Open Wounds
Most puppies and dogs have a rowdy side that can lead to wounds, be they small surface lacerations or the result of a scuffle at the dog park. If your fur baby has open wounds that are not healing properly, it is important to see your vet. This could be attributed to larger health concerns, including cancer.
Pale Gums
It's not often that you probably dig around in your pup's mouth. Should you find yourself at the mouth of the beast (literally), take a few moments to note gum color. Paleness is definitely a reason to see your vet immediately.
As mentioned above, these symptoms in your pet may not equate to cancer; however, they are known to be early warning signs of serious illness. Consider all possibilities if you see one of these in your pet, and be sure to check with your local veterinarian to reach an appropriate diagnosis.

Between fevers, Bryce did pretty well today. No really high spikes like yesterday, but still not himself. Poor kid. He's so suggestible though that it's hard to get a real read on his symptoms. Plus, he's constantly on Motrin and Tylenol so that probably masks some things. He'll be staying home with Piper and my IL's tomorrow.
I keep telling myself that this has GOT to be it for Germ Season 2008-2009. It's just got to be.

When In Mexico It should be obligatory to stay somewhere fun and vibrant that perfectly encapsulates the colourful spirit of the country. Mix this together with a sociable environment perfect for solo-travellers, great air conditioning and a fantastic central location and you have the Yak Hostel, Playa Del Carmen.
I stayed at The Yak for three nights and below you will a review detailing my experience and what I think of the hostel, from its affordability to how sociable it was.
In This Post:
Checking In at The Yak Hostel, Playa Del Carmen
Checking In was easy and painless, and that's saying something when you're carrying a backpack bigger than your entire body. The friendly staff provided a great introduction to the Hostel and all the activities on offer as well as all the important information e.g. what times breakfast.
If you arrive early for check-in, which starts at 14:00, there are plenty of comfy seats to chill out in and enjoy the free Wi-Fi. If you're itching to get out and explore you have the option of leaving your bag at reception and returning to check in later.
Dorm Rooms at The Yak Hostel, Playa Del Carmen
I stayed in the largest dorm room at the Yak, a clean and modern 12-bed mixed dorm. When it comes to storage in dorms it can be very hit and miss.
There's nothing more frustrating than sharing a cramped room with loads of people and there being such bad storage you're forced to live on top of each other as you scramble to keep the pile of stuff you have on the floor organised.
The Yak, however, has made this chaos a thing of the past. Each bed gets a giant locker big enough to fit all of your belongings in. I'm not over exaggerating either. These are hands down the biggest lockers I have ever seen. I could have probably slept in it.
To make things even better, each locker also has a plug inside meaning you can charge your electronics and safely leave them there.
There was one bathroom for the dorm with a good shower plus an extra sink in the dorm room for hurried teeth brushing. There's always that one guy that takes about 3 hours to have a shower when you're in a hurry.
Common Areas at The Yak Hostel, Playa Del Carmen
You are spoiled for choice when it comes to common areas at The Yak. The main hang out area is down by the bar and reception. Here you can pull up a pew at one of the tables and socialise with other guests who are constantly passing by.
The Yak has a fantastic little rooftop terrace, which provides a quieter place to chill out with a good seating area and outdoor cooking space. My favourite common area was upstairs next to the rooftop terrace.
It's a little room with a comfy sofa, TV, bookshelf full of books and all-day aircon. This was the best place to come and cool down whilst catching up on some reading.
Food and Drink at The Yak Hostel, Playa Del Carmen
The Yak provides a free breakfast down at the bar. It's best to get there early, whilst other guests are sleeping off their hangovers, to secure both good seating and access to bowls.
There's a good range provided from bread and preserves to cereals, coffee, juices. The best part is the free fresh fruit- something you come to miss when backpacking.
Throughout the week, The Yak hosts themed evenings to get your food on. During my stay, there was an Argentinian BBQ night.
The bar is well stocked and decently priced meaning it's a great place to hang out in the evenings and meet fellow travellers. The best part, however, is the great range of cocktails (Pina Colada anybody?)
Facilities at The Yak Hostel, Playa Del Carmen
The Yak had excellent facilities available. The kitchens were large and well equipped making it easy to cook your own meals.
There is an affordable laundry service meaning you can finally wash your large bundle of terrible smelling clothes.
You're also able to hire bikes and book tours and excursions from the reception.
Affordability at The Yak Hostel, Playa Del Carmen
The Yak Hostel, Playa Del Carmen is a super affordable place to stay, without skimping on quality.
The cheapest price per night is under £7 per night for a bed in a 12-bed mixed dorm room, which is where I opted to stay.
If you would rather stay in a smaller dorm room, you can opt to stay in the smallest room, a shared 4-bed dorm, costing under £13 per night.
Social and Activities at The Yak Hostel, Playa Del Carmen
There is one way to describe the atmosphere created at The Yak, a social mecca for solo travellers.
There are fun hostel organised outings and activities daily which guests are actively encouraged to participate in.
Meaning not only are you doing something fun you're also making some great new friends from all around the world at the same time.
Some of the trips run by the hostel include outings to Akumal beach, a white-sand paradise great for snorkelling and turtle spotting and also the nearby Punta Esmeralda beach.
My favourite organised activity was Mojito night. It costs 100 MXN for a Mojito making masterclass.
After which you'll have mastered the art of this cocktail and it'll proudly become your go-to drink to impress family and friends with.
After the lesson's over, all the ingredients are left out on the communal table as you and about 20 other guests get to make and drink as many Mojitos as you can in one hour.
Challenge accepted! This night was the best opportunity to make friends with other guests and find people to explore Playa Del Carmen and the surrounding areas with.
Top Tips
Do: Take part in the organised activities and days out. The hostel has a super friendly atmosphere that's really worth making the most of. I guarantee you'll leave with a bunch of new friends and some great memories.

Do: Hang out in the upstairs room with the sofa, TV and bookshelf if you get too hot and tired. The aircon in the dorms gets turned off during the day but is left on in this little hideaway. It's the perfect place to cool down.
Hostel Location
One of the best parts of The Yak is its location. It's roughly a 10 minute walk from the ADO bus station straight through the main commercial area of the town.
Right across the road is Coco Bongo, one of the most popular nightlife experiences in both Playa Del Carmen and Cancun. Nearby you'll find lots of cheap places to eat.
This includes bargain pizza slices (visit Pizza Renzo for tasty 20 peso slices). You'll find large Mexican meals for less than £2.50 if you head in the opposite direction to the main shopping area.
There is also a Walmart less than a 10-minute walk away making it easy to cook for yourself at the hostel and save a bit of money.
I really enjoyed my stay at The Yak Hostel in Playa Del Carmen. If you want to find out more or book your stay visit the Hostelworld website
The Yak also has a Facebook page and website you can visit for more information.
Thank you for reading my review of The Yak hostel. Let me know what you think in the comments below. All views in this review are my own. I was not sponsored or compensated during my stay.

How Norfolk couple tamed the house from hell
PUBLISHED: 08:48 11 April 2019
A DIY duo thought they had bagged a bargain cottage at auction – only for it to turn into a £50,000 money pit.
It was the first property venture for would-be developers, interior design student Katrina Crossley, 25, and her business and sales development director partner, Olly Savage, 33, from Norwich.
The pair were over the moon to snag what appeared to be the perfect little cottage at auction for the cut-down price of just £90,000.
But the pretty, if a bit run-down, semi-detached home, in Sutton, near Stalham, was hiding some nasty secrets.
MORE: Meet the Norfolk brothers keeping print alive
When the pair started the renovation it quickly escalated into a full-on re-build after a catalogue of catastrophes.
"We'd had a survey and thought it just needed replastering and repainting," Katrina said. "But when we started taking the wallpaper off, there were massive holes, the stairs were rotten and just fell down, a chimney fell down. I thought it couldn't get any worse – but it did.
"There were exposed pipes, no hot water as the gentleman who used to live there had used a kettle and the floors were rotten and you could see through to soil underneath. We actually found the house wasn't even attached to the neighbouring property, it was just leaned up against it."
The house was sold with all its contents which took the couple a week to clear and they ended up spending £50,000 to put right all the work.
They removed all the internal walls, re-wired and put in insulation as well as new floors and a new staircase.
And now, almost a year on, the property has been completely transformed. Whereas they had first intended to use it as an Airbnb, they have now rented it on a longer term basis for £650 per month. And they have certainly added with the cottage now worth between £170,000-£190,000.
"It's a cottage we believe was built in the early 1900s and it now looks really contemporary inside. We wanted to retain the fireplace but it just fell down along with the chimney," Katrina said.
It's clean and bright, painted in white and grey with the lurid blue, orange and green paint now gone. The couple added a sleek modern kitchen in pale grey which is open plan to the sitting room. The staircase has been rebuilt with storage underneath and the sitting room has a plush carpet and a modern fireplace. Outside, the couple are finishing with a new patio being laid.
"We're actually renting this property to enable us to buy another to do up, after this one, we think we can tackle anything," said Katrina.

Central American authorities are spending more time than usual eyeballing the backsides of bovine this week, following a Honduran media report that claims drug cartels are using cattle to hoof drugs north to Mexico.
A recent article published in the Honduran daily La Tribuna reports —with rather curious precision— that each narco cow can carry between 88-132 pounds of carefully packaged cocaine in its intestines. The cattle are reportedly purchased in Nicaragua, back-loaded with drug packets somewhere along the early stages of the route, then lumber northward — presumably with a slight hemorrhoidal limp—followed by their stinky-handed minders.
It's a dirty job, but it's a résumé-builder for those on a certain career path.
La Tribuna's article is admittedly weakly sourced. But they're not the first ones to propose the narco-cow hypothesis. Last November, The Central American Federation of Meat Producers, during its electrifying annual gathering in Managua, warned that drug cartels are infiltrating their industry. Federation president René Blandón told anyone who would listen that drug traffickers are using livestock to smuggle cocaine from Nicaragua to Mexico, passing through Honduras and Guatemala en route.
Unfortunately for Blandón, the yearly meet of the Central American Federation of Meat Producers doesn't draw a ton of press, so his worrisome message fell mostly on a roomful of empty chairs.
Even the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) says it doesn't know about the fabled narco cows of Central America, but agents say the allegation doesn't surprise them either.
Special Agent Eduardo Chavez, who works at DEA national headquarters, told me that no conceived method for smuggling drugs is too "far-fetched," because narcos have "all the time in the world to think of creative ways" to move their product. Plus, he noted, drug traffickers have already proven that they have no scruples about sticking drugs to uncomfortable depths inside people and animals— including puppies.
The Miami DEA office says they've seen enough drug-smuggling attempts to not be surprised by anything. "Drug traffickers are very creative, and they will do whatever they need to do to get the drugs to their destination," said special agent Mia Ro.
Central American authorities are more skeptical about the narco-cow claim. Honduran police spokesman Leonel Sauceda told me there's never been a case in his country's history of law enforcement catching drug traffickers smuggling cocaine inside cattle. The closest they've come, he said, was detecting cocaine hidden inside the false compartment of a cattle truck.
Then again, Sauceda says, authorities aren't exactly looking inside cows for drugs. "We have X-ray machines to search vehicles, but not animals," he said.
Nicaraguan cattle farmers are also dubious. Santiago Castillo, president of the Nicaraguan Federation of Cattle Farmers, which exports some 8,000 head of cattle to Honduras each year, says it's highly unlikely that drugs are being inserted into bovine in his country.
"In Nicaragua we have a lot security in the countryside; the police and military have a permanent security plan that is coordinated with the cattle industry 365 days a year," Castillo told Fusion in an email. "So unless there's any evidence of cases here, I think it's a matter for the Honduran authorities to investigate."
The quickest — and perhaps most dignified — way to get a large quantity of drugs into a cow would be to do so surgically. But it's a risky procedure. Castillo says performing any major abdominal surgery on a cow would cause a wound that needed time to heal, and leave a telltale scar on the animal's hide.
So that leaves just one way in, which involves lifting the tail and wrinkling the nose. But even then there's the risk that the animal's body will reject the foreign implant, leading to infection and illness. And if one of the drug packets leaks or bursts inside the cow's intestines, it would almost certainly kill the animal, or perhaps send it into orbit as it tries to jump over the moon.
In any event, the next time you eat a peculiarly seasoned steak, then find yourself up until 5 a.m. licking your gums and bragging in a rapid, breathless voice to anyone who will listen, you might want to ask your butcher where he sources his meat.

Author(s): Mike Cumpston and Johnny Bates
To be frank I thought I'd read just about every sort of muzzleloading "how to" book there is. Then I subscribed to the Sixgunner Forums nominally the home of one John Taffin and frequented by Mike Cumpston.
Mike was posting a lot about his acquisitions and shooting of various cap'n'ball revolvers and his accompanying photos were absolutely excellent. So, when I discovered he'd just been writing a synopsis of the chapters he was writing for this book I had to have a copy.
It was well worth the money. 26 chapters in 195 pages may seem a little thin to some, but the information is concisely presented and the illustrations are anything but gratuitous. Mike and Johnny cover every major reproduction cap lock pistol or revolver. They also have appendices on the following:
- Italian Proof Marks by Year of Manufacture
- Colts Recommended Loads
- 19th Century Combustible Cartridges
- Petition for Frontier Protection
- The Irish Code
- 44 Cap & Ball Revolver
That said, this book is worth the $16.95 retail (and would be worth the difference for larger, color photos). Messers Cumpston and Bates are to be congratulated on good work well done.

Can you believe it? We are two months into the year already and it just feels like 2019 is flying by. With the year rolling and the semester halfway done already, I feel this is a good time to do a goals check-in and set some goals for the rest of the semester.
Goal Check-In:
Goal #1: Plan Less: This was my biggest goal for the year and the goal I've seen the most progress on. I've said goodbye to my Google Calendar, where I would plan out every single minute of my day. I mean it– I would create time periods for sleep. Productivity was the name of my game, but I just ended out burnt out and unhappy. With a less structured schedule, I've made time in my life for the moments you don't always predict– the meetings that run over, the random run-ins and catch-ups with friends, and time to relax and breathe. I've still got a LOOOONG way to go on this goal, as I usually can still be found making plans weeks in advance and still have a pretty stuffed calendar, but I'm getting there.
Goal #2: Spend More Time with Friends: Whenever I get busy, I tend to isolate myself and only spend time with the people who directly relate to whatever I'm busy with, whether that's work, extracurriculars, or class. Whenever I do that, I create a stress bubble for myself, as I'm only around people who share my stresses and struggles. I've been trying to make time for all my friends this semester and I've been doing pretty well on this. I've been getting coffees and dinners with friends I wouldn't otherwise see and Facetiming my long distance friends.
Goal #3: Get to the Gym: This is the goal I have been so sporadic about. There are some weeks where I get myself to the gym daily with excitement about the next episode of my podcast. And then, there are weeks when I can't even fathom where I'd get the forty-five minutes a day to spend at the gym. I'd day I'd score like a 4/10 on this goal so far.
Where do I go from here? Well, I consider the progress I've made so far and use that to help me form new goals for the rest of the semester. Here's what I have so far:
- Continue to try to plan less and be more spontaneous. Try to go into a weekend with nothing on the calendar and just make it up as I go.
- Make time for myself. I often feel like on the weekends, I'm exhausted from everything and just need some time to decompress with myself. I want to start making time a few times a week for me to do this so it doesn't pile up.
- Actually get to the gym consistently. I really want to get into the habit of going daily or every other day and so, this is a goal I want to continue working on.

Why Should You Consider Investing in Solar Water Heating?
When talking about solar energy as a green source of energy, most people think about solar panels. However, this is not the only mechanism available to harness the energy of the sun.
Solar water heating (SWH) systems, also known as solar thermal systems, are also a good alternative when thinking about green energy from the sun. Here we present five basic questions about SWH which will quickly introduce you to the topic and hopefully spark some reflection regarding your investment in green energy.
1. What Is Solar Water Heating?
Solar water heating refers to the mechanism that converts the energy of the sun into heated water. This technology is also known as solar thermal and consists of a collector that attracts sunlight and converts it into heating solutions available for household or even commercial purposes. Solar thermal is used to heat water or for space heating.
There are different types of SWH systems, but the most common ones are:
a) domestic hot water systems,
b) swimming pool/ hot tub-heating systems,
c) space heating systems (radiant),
d) combi systems (a combination of any of the others)
Moreover, to understand what a solar thermal system is, we should have a quick look at how this technology works - this is, how solar energy is transformed into heat available for household purposes. So, very briefly summed up, it would be like this:
- Solar thermal collectors (panels) installed on a roof or other location absorb solar energy.
- A low-energy pump makes the solar liquid circulate through the collectors and delivers heat to a water storage tank.
- If you need hot water, the solar-heated water in the storage tank pre-feeds the primary water-heating system.
- When pre-fed with the hot water, the boiler or water heater is either not activated, or activated for less time than if there were no solar hot water system.
2. What Is The Difference Between SWH and Solar Panels?
Although both mechanisms rely on the energy of the sun, solar thermal collectors and solar panels (photovoltaics, solar PV) are used for different purposes. While solar PV are used for generating electricity from solar energy, SWH converts sunlight into heat. Consequently, we can't use solar thermal for lighting, but instead you should use this technology for heating water or for space heating.
Therefore, if you want a heating solution and green electricity, you should invest both in solar thermal and solar panels. Either source is green and silent, and will payback after some years since the resulting electricity or heat is free after the system has been installed.
3. Why Should I Choose SWH?
There are several attractive benefits when installing a solar water heater.
First and most important, that it is a clean source of energy that relies exclusively on a renewable and abundant resource: the energy of the sun. By utilising solar energy instead of fossil fuels, SWH systems reduce your carbon footprint.
Second, a solar water heating system will help you reduce your utility bills, since once the mechanism has been installed, it will cover almost all of your household's heating requirements and there is practically no maintenance needed. For example, using solar pool heater panels, will be more cost-efficient, as it takes a lot of energy to keep a large body of water - like a swimming pool - warm.
Thirdly, solar thermal provides you with unlimited energy, since it relies on the energy of the sun which is always available and free. Moreover, the system works all year round, even during the winter season when the sun does not hit strong.
4. How Much Does a SWH System Cost?
The cost of your solar water heating system will primarily depend on the size of your property or on the number of people living there. This will determine the size of the appliance needed to cover your heat requirements.
Moreover, as we have previously mentioned, there are different types of solar water heater systems and there are also different qualities. Also, the price will vary depending on how easy it is to integrate the solar thermal installation to your existing system. All of this will affect the overall price of your system.
However, just to get an idea, a solar water heater system is likely to cost between £3,900-£5,000, plus other attached costs such as installation and insurance. The good thing is, that there are some governmental incentives that will reduce the payback period of your initial investment. When assessing the cost of your system, you should remember to consider this issue. The Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) is one example of incentive that will give you money if you generate your own heat (with green sources of energy).
5. How To Choose My Solar Water Heating Supplier?
Like every other big investment, investing in solar thermal requires a bit of research if you want to make a well-informed purchase. Depending on your location, you will have different suppliers. Moreover, you should consider your budget, the size of the house and the type of system that you would like.
If this sounds a bit of a hassle, you can try the easy path and request your quote on GreenMatch.co.uk. Here you should fill in your contact information and your requirements, and wait to be contacted by up to 4 suppliers with their respective offers. You are then free to choose the one you prefer. Requesting your quote is free and non-binding!

Location: New York
Year: 2019
Authors: Zakharchenko Nastya, Yuliia Zhatko
In this competition project, we decided to develop the concept of a shop-restaurant of ecological products. On the ground floor there is a shop, where a person can purchase products, as well as get interesting advice about cooking, combination, production and recipes. The second floor is divided into two zones. The first is the kitchen, where master classes of cooking healthy food take place. The shape of the island suggests the location of a cook and several guests, each of whom has his own stove and sink. In the second half of the room there is a large wooden table where you can arrange dinner with cooked dishes. We think this space will train people to eat healthy in an interesting way, you can come in a big company or alone and meet new people at dinner.

Train Your Brain – 5 Tips To Improve Brain Function
You know that you can train your mind to be better, stronger and faster than ever?
Neuroscientists have discovered that the brain is able to change itself, although of providing appropriate opportunities. Diet, exercise, stress reduction through yoga or meditation, and activities that stimulate the growth of brain cells is the key.
Researchers have long made it clear that the health of the brain was related to its use or not. Similar to our body, which requires diet and exercise to function at optimal levels, your brain needs a constant dose of activity and nutrients to keep the most efficient state. The inertia and passivity lead to higher rates of decline of cognitive function, memory loss and age-related dementia in correspondence with mental athletes. The interruption of this process at any age is a matter of education and determination.
In 2007 Norman Doidge published a groundbreaking book, The brain that changes itself: personal stories of triumph from the frontiers of brain science. Drawing on the latest research in neuroscience, the Doidge published numerous accounts of people with brain diseases and injuries that were able to re-wire their brains through brain targeted actions. His descriptions provide strong evidence that the once widespread belief that the adult brain is fixed and immutable simply is not true.
We can build a healthier brain. Here are five steps to get to.
Food for thought: The diet is the key: If you have ever noticed that you're hungry after spending time thinking through a difficult problem, it's no surprise. The brain burns more fuel than any other organ in the body, and require a consistent supply of glucose to keep active. Thrives in fiber, lean protein sources, antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids.
You can build a healthier brain. Here are 5 steps to get there.
Food for thought: The diet is the key: If you have ever noticed that you're hungry after hours of intellectual work trying to solve a difficult problem, not something strange. The brain burns more fuel than any other organ in the body, and require a consistent supply of glucose to stay on. Flourishes with fiber, lean protein sources, antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids.
Researchers have found that foods that are rich in fiber such as wholemeal bread. Rich in protein, such as eggs. With high content of antioxidants, beta-carotene and vitamins C and E, including dark, leafy greens and berries, and finally loaded with omega-3 fatty acids like salmon is the key to giving your brain the fuel it needs to It functions optimally.
Exercises to build mental muscle: Scientists have discovered that the successful functioning of the brain are intimately connected with the memory task. Memory to the brain system responsible for problem solving and storing short-term information. Simple math problems, puzzles, word search,
Many card games and Sudoku all strengthen their memory muscles.
A team led by Torkel Klingberg at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, found that neural systems associated with the change of the memory in response during training. They measured brain activity in a sample of adults before and after 5 weeks Workout memory.
The results from the functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scanning the brain revealed that the brain activity of the participants had grown in areas associated with memory work. A steady dose of games for memory and puzzle can be just the ticket for mental workout your muscles.
Combat stress: Establish your daily schedule yoga, meditation or Tai Chi: the same areas that are responsible for the quick thinking and memory are central to the stress reaction. The J.D. Bremner in his book: the sres harms the brain, argues that "anxiety has negative consequences for memory and cognitive function that can lead to long-term impairment." But stress can manage. The researchers found that people who participate in activities such as yoga, meditation, and Tai-Chi, reduce stress and improve mood generally improve mental health. Even the short practices can have lasting effects if applied consistently.

With the fall of Singapore to the Japanese Imperial Forces in 1942, many British, Australian and colonial officers became prisoners of war ( POWs) and amongst them was Mr. William Haxworth, a Chief Investigator with the War Risks Insurance Department of the Singapore Treasury. During his internment, Haxworth secretly drew paintings and sketches that depicted the harsh, crowded and unhygienic living conditions in the internment camps. Despite the shortage of paper and drawing materials, he creatively resorted to using different materials which he could get his hands on to produce a variety of watercolour paintings, and pencil and charcoal sketches. Though not an artist by profession, Haxworth displayed great skill and was able to capture the essence of his surroundings and the events that took place during his captive years. Haxworth's artwork illustrates a human aspect of the darkest period of Singapore's modern history. Drawn in 1942, the featured artwork shows the POWs' changed perception of simple items, which they once had aplenty, as they look upon them as "comforts" during their internment. The drawing cleverly portrayed the stark change in the lifestyle of the European colonial administrators when they fell from grace and became POWs under an Asian "master". This visual account of how colonial administrators were forced to adapt and make good with what they had in the prison condition is a reflection of an instance when European and Asian cultures converged and crossed paths.
