DIY tooth scaling-we did it!!
So everyone, I finally broke down and ordered a do it yourself dog tooth scaler, and might I say, I'm glad I did.
I just received it in the mail today and already cleaned off three of Tucker's teeth. Tucker has always been very good about me putting my fingers in his mouth, and can hold very still when I ask him to. I did the front long teeth (the vampire looking ones) on the top first, took a little break, told him what a good boy he was, gave him a little treat, and then tried one that was heavily caked with yellowish/brown stuff in the back, and got that one half way done before having to return back to work.
I have to say, I was a bit scared about cutting him or something like that, but if you read the instructions, stay calm, and have the trust of your yorkie it's not that bad. Really easy, and Tucker's still alive and happy after our first "session."
I bought the tool here: Professional Double End Dog Dental Tooth Scaler - eBay (item 380118876586 end time Jul-19-09 09:09:51 PDT)
The tool was only $8.99 with free shipping. WAY less than a dental at the vet, but more importantly it works without anesthesia. Personally, I felt the risk of slipping with the tool and causing a tiny bit of bleeding (which doesn't look like even it will occur) was far better than the risk of him dying on the table when I'm not even there.
I would caution that this is probably something I would recommend only for those who have furrbabies who are EXTREMELY tolerant of you playing with their mouth. To see, maybe try telling your yorkie to hold still (in whatever words you use--same thing you do when trimming nails, cleaning off eye boogeys, etc) and holding just a pair of tweezers on a back tooth for like 10 seconds without moving, with the lip held out of the way so you can see, and see if they try to wiggle out or if they stay. I can hold tuckers lip aside and put anything on his teeth and he'll stay still, so this works for us.

Trump Afganistan Thanksgiving 2019
President Donald Trump made a surprise Thanksgiving visit to U.S. troops in Afghanistan on Thursday and said he believed Taliban insurgents would agree to a ceasefire in America's longest war.
Trump's visit was his first to Afghanistan since becoming president and came a week after a prisoner swap between Washington and Kabul that has raised hopes for a revival of peace talks.
"The Taliban wants to make a deal," Trump said. "And we are meeting with them and we say it has to be a ceasefire and they didn't want to do a ceasefire and now they want to do a ceasefire, I believe. It will probably work out that way."
The Air Force One presidential plane touched down at Bagram Airfield after an overnight flight from Washington with White House national security adviser Robert O'Brien, a small group of aides and Secret Service agents, and a pool of reporters. continue reading

Anderson Cooper Slams Conservatives For Spreading 'Myth' About Cost Of Obama's Asia Trip
On Thrusday's "AC360," Anderson Cooper debunked the false story about the supposedly enormous price tag for President Obama's ten-day tour of Asia, and slammed conservative politicians and pundits for spreading the myth.
Cooper opened his show by promising to refute "a made-up story about the president of the United States." He stressed that it was "not [my] job to defend the president," but that there were plenty of real things to criticize President Obama about without resorting to falsehoods.
The notion that Obama's trip to India and other Asian countries will cost $200 million a day and will involve the deployment of 34 Navy ships sprang from a story published by the Press Trust of India on Tuesday. In that article, "a top official of the Maharashtra government privy to the arrangements for the high-profile visit" used the $200 million figure.
Cooper said that this was pretty thin material with which to attack Obama.
"We have no idea who this person is, no name was given," he said. "It was an anonymous quote — the conduct Sarah Palin has recently been railing against. Some reporter in India wrote this article with this figure in it, no proof was given, no follow-up reporting done."
The story spread throughout conservative circles, and White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs was even asked about it at Thursday's press briefing. Cooper played clips of pundits such as Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck and Michael Savage harshly criticizing Obama for supposedly wasting taxpayer funds on his trip during a time of austerity.

Elderly man with a severe back problem is forced to CRAWL on the ground to use his toilet after being sent home from hospital
- Dennis Murphy, 76, was sent home from hospital after being refused an MRI
- A few hours later he was in so much pain he was forced to crawl to the bathroom
- He calls on Health Minister Stephen Wade for changes to the health care system
ByTita Smith For Daily Mail Australia
Published:11:24 GMT, 16 October 2019|Updated:00:45 GMT, 17 October 2019
An elderly man with a severe back problem was forced to crawl to use a toilet after being refused an MRI scan.
Dennis Murphy was taken to Flinders Medical Centre, inAdelaide's south, on Tuesday afternoon after fearing he had slipped a disc in his spine.
But doctors told the 76-year-old he couldn't have an MRI because the machine is only reserved for neurological and emergency cases.
Dennis Murphy (pictured) was taken to Flinders Medical Centre, in Adelaide's south, on Tuesday afternoon after fearing he had slipped a disc in his spine
After being diagnosed with acute sciatica and sent home, Mr Murphy began suffering excruciating pain hours later leaving him unable to stand.
Now, he is speaking out against the healthcare system comparing his inadequate treatment to the same level found in a third world country.
'You're reduced to a beggar,' Mr Murphy told7News.
'I've seen beggars in the third world nearly 80 doing the same thing,' he said.
The doctor gave him an X-ray and told him to get physiotherapy.
Health Minister Stephen Wade said while the video is upsetting, he was not discharged in that state.
'It is very distressing for anyone to see their family in pain and discomfort [but], I'm advised at the time of discharge the gentleman was mobile,'he said.
Mr Murphy said he was gobsmacked by his treatment and hopes the video will push the health minister into action.
The health minister has apologised to the family publicly, but has admitted he is yet to reach out in person.

Perceptions of Extension Field Staff Regarding Technology Transfer through Different Extension Approaches
Perceptions of Extension Field Staff Regarding Technology Transfer through Different Extension Approaches
Ejaz Ashraf1*, Hafiz Khuram Sharjeel1, Raheel Babar2, Muhammad Junaid1, Qamar Iqbal3, Rabia Rasheed1 and Nosheen Fatima1
The study was conducted in district Sargodha, Punjab-Pakistan in 2016 to record and evaluate the performance of extension approaches and Extension Field Staff (EFS) in order to identify the weaknesses or failures behind extension system and to suggest recommendations for improvement in extension approaches and performance of EFS through census study. The total EFS population consists of 155 people and 121 respondents appeared for interview. The non response rate was 21.94%. The analysis showed that training and visit program and demonstration methods were dominant approaches used in technology transfer. The mean of the results showed that low allocation of budget, massive operational area to give satisfactory coverage, less use of multimedia, unavailability of training facilities to EFS, manifold duties assigned to extension officers and top-down dimension of planning of implementation of extension approaches were main weaknesses. The steps like effective evaluation of extension system, use of democratic nature extension approaches, and training facilities to EFS could improve working efficiency of Extension Field Staff and extension approaches thereby.

I'm a third into the book "Me before you"! I'm really enjoying the characters, so it's awesome, but I'm wary of the ending. I feel like it's going to be sad (not that it's a bad thing). Of course I could be wrong, so I'll get back to reading it! ;)ReplyDelete

Two days after the elections, George Will could have spent an hour talking about the midterms and President Donald Trump.
Instead, the Pulitzer Prize-winning Washington Post columnist explained that everything you need to know about American political philosophy is an argument between two former Presidents and Princeton alumni (also Will's alma mater), James Madison and Woodrow Wilson.
Will called Madison's belief in the doctrine of natural rights the basis of our Constitution. Human nature is fixed, so government should inherently be limited, he said.
Erwin Chemerinsky, the 13th Dean of Berkeley Law and a First Amendment scholar, spoke at the Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum on Oct. 8. He has been named the most influential person in legal education in the United States by National Jurist Magazine and is the author of more than 10 books including The Case Against the Supreme Court and Free Speech on Campus.
The Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum has an established and cherished history as Claremont McKenna College's beacon for the cultural, social, and academic exchange of ideas.
"The Ath" brings some of the brightest scholars and speakers to campus to discuss—perhaps even debate—the most important topics of our time. In the spirit of community and fellowship, it's all done over a shared meal in the Eggert Dining Room.

"Too often," Nadine Strossen told her audience at the Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum April 5, First Amendment advocates assert that "hate speech is absolutely protected," adding that "I've been a little bit guilty of that myself."
In fact, she said, "the brilliance of U.S. law" is that "it is much more nuanced. It does draw a very sensible line between when hate speech is protected and when hate speech is not protected."

No 400 Posted by fw, February 2, 2012
"Until recently, Ecuador was very much a banana republic exporting primary products (oil and agricultural products) and people (migrants to the United States) but still running balance of payments deficits and prone to instability in a context of economic inequality, widespread poverty and backwardness. Dollarization of the economy curbed the hyperinflation but did not resolve any of the systemic problems, and the economy continued to lurch from crisis to crisis combined with rapid political changeovers. From 2007, however, the government led by Rafael Correa has attempted to change many of these features, and the extent of its success in a relatively short time is remarkable." —Jayati Ghosh
Economics Professor Jayati Ghosh explains how the small Latin American country of Ecuador (pop: 15, 000, 000) is using maximized revenues for improving social programs and for building public infrastructure. Ecuador's transformation includes: jump in Ecuador's cut of oil revenues from 13% to 87%; reduced dependence on fossil fuels; higher corporate taxes from 35% to 40%; increased investor confidence; improved tax collection; and more social spending and public investment including free health care for all.
If Ecuador can accomplish these impressive results, why couldn't Canada? Okay, admittedly not without a change of government at the federal level. (This Canadian is counting on Stephen Harper to self-destruct as did his arrogant Neo-liberal counterpart in the UK, Margaret Thatcher). Ghosh relates an inspiring story with important policy lessons for Canada's NDP party.
Her article follows, with my added subheadings and highlighted text. And don't miss The Real News Network's interview with Jayati Ghosh which is embedded at the end of this post as a RELATED LINK.
All too often, when citizens of India (and, to be fair, many other developing countries) demand increases in public spending that would go some way towards ensuring their social and economic rights, they are told that there is simply no fiscal space for this. "Where is the money?" is the usual response. It is no matter that the demands are for essential public provision that every civilized society must provide for its people, such as minimum food and shelter entitlements, health and sanitation, education, and so on. The basic perception is that even if increasing such spending is desirable it is unfortunately a luxury the country cannot afford given the global concern on fiscal consolidation and the difficulty (if not near impossibility) of raising tax revenues.
Two fiscal myths have been perpetuated in this regard. First, that fiscal consolidation (in the form of reducing public deficits and bringing down public debt to gross domestic product (GDP) ratios) is always the preferred strategy, regardless of the cyclical conditions of the economy. Second, and perhaps more significant, that fiscal austerity in the form of cutting public spending is the only way to achieve such consolidation. Both myths deserve to be broken.
In particular, the idea that globalization and particularly cross-border mobility of capital have meant that governments cannot afford to raise tax revenues has got deeply implanted in the minds of policymakers across the world. It is, in fact, a completely false argument. The extent of the falsity is shown clearly in a powerful counter-example coming from Ecuador, a small country that is usually described as having little or no policy space.
Until recently, Ecuador was very much a banana republic exporting primary products (oil and agricultural products) and people (migrants to the United States) but still running balance of payments deficits and prone to instability in a context of economic inequality, widespread poverty and backwardness. Dollarization of the economy curbed the hyperinflation but did not resolve any of the systemic problems, and the economy continued to lurch from crisis to crisis combined with rapid political changeovers. From 2007, however, the government led by Rafael Correa has attempted to change many of these features, and the extent of its success in a relatively short time is remarkable.
One of the most impressive changes has been in the area of tax collection. Ecuador is an oil exporter (only of crude oil, however, since it does not have domestic processing facilities), and any increase in public revenues is commonly attributed to the increase in global oil prices. That has indeed been important, not least because the Correa government has successfully renegotiated the terms of its contracts with multinational oil companies.
Thus, whereas in the past the government received only an average of 13 per cent of the gross sales value of the oil, it now gets as much as 87 per cent. Despite this major switch, more than half of the foreign oil companies continue to operate in the country, which is a sign of the massive surplus profits that were accruing to them earlier. In any case, this has meant that the government has been able to benefit much more substantially from higher global oil prices. Incidentally, while this led to substantially increased hydrocarbon royalties for the state, it also meant lower tax revenues from this source.
But what is extraordinary is that, despite this very large increase, the public exchequer has actually reduced its dependence on oil during the Correa regime. The share of oil revenues in total government revenues has come down from 30.4 per cent in the period 2001-05 to only 26.1 per cent in 2006-10 – in other words, non-oil revenues now account for nearly three-quarters of government revenues.
This is mainly because of a massive effort towards efficient tax collection, which has caused tax revenues to more than double in five years. Total tax collection rose from $4.67 million in 2006 to $9.56 million in 2011. As a result, direct taxes – mainly corporation taxes – account for more than 40 per cent of the government's revenue collection, up from around 35 per cent.
This is hugely important because it shows that this is something all governments can do, if only there is the political will to do so. Remarkably, the government did this without any adverse effects on either the rate of investment (which kept increasing over the period and is now a healthy 26 per cent of GDP) or the aggregate growth rate (expected to be as high as 8 per cent in 2011). So the usual arguments against such a drive – that it will affect "investor confidence" and therefore investment – have clearly not been relevant.
What exactly did the Correa government do to ensure this direct tax increase? Carlos Marx Carrasco, the head of the Internal Revenue Service (SRI), argues that this success is due primarily to better enforcement, collection of tax arrears and reduction of tax avoidance, which in turn has only been possible because of breaking the cozy political nexus that existed between the tax administration and the large businesses that reaped most of the benefits of domestic economic growth.
The SRI achieved this through the systematic use of information technology and the introduction of more detailed reporting requirements for companies, combined with strict measures to punish tax evaders. Since April 2006, the SRI has required companies to submit a range of detailed information on monthly value-added tax (VAT) filings, financial yields, credit-card movements and income tax withholdings. Despite complaints from businesses about the time taken and difficulty in filling out these forms, they have proved to be very useful in curbing tax evasion. The SRI has used the information to monitor exports, imports, purchases, sales, voided receipts and withholdings in general. This has allowed it to come up with much more systematic (and higher) estimates of the revenues due to it.
Once these estimates have been made, companies have been forced to pay up their taxes and the estimated arrears. Commercial outlets and private professional offices of proven tax evaders in most main cities have been shuttered until they have met their tax obligations. The process is still only partially complete, and the SRI estimates that there is much more potential to increase tax revenues through further tightening and better compliance. The stick of more stringent and effective enforcement has been combined with the carrot of lower rates – corporation tax rates are to be lowered to 22 per cent from the current 25 per cent.
These increased revenues – both from oil royalties and from tax collection – have been directed towards increased social spending and public investment. Ecuador now has the highest rate of public investment (10 per cent of GDP) in the Latin American region. In addition to spending on much-needed physical infrastructure, an important part of this has been devoted to public housing. In the period 2007-09, the housing deficit was reduced as more than 200,000 homes were handed over to the public. The number of homes with a sewage system increased from 2.78 million in 2006 to 3.33 million in 2010, which is more than two-thirds of urban households.
Social spending has also doubled, from 5 to 10 per cent of GDP between 2006 and 2011. Much of this has gone towards increases in public employment in activities such as health, sanitation and education and in ensuring that all public sector workers are part of the formal employment sector, with minimum wages and proper regulated working conditions, rather than working in subcontracted companies. (Incidentally, this move, along with enforcement of social security and labour laws, has had a knock-on positive effect in the labour market in general. Even in the private sector, formal employment has increased and informal employment has fallen – in sharp contrast to trends in most of the rest of the world.)
Investment in health has increased by 129 per cent, driven also by the requirement of the 2008 Constitution that all citizens have access to free health care. Education is also to be available free at all levels, and the education budget has more than tripled, from $235 million over 2003-06 to $941 million in 2007-10.
So it can be done, after all. Tax revenues can be increased, by enforcing proper tax collection and cracking down on evasion. Big companies – both domestic and multinational – can be disciplined without adversely affecting investment or GDP growth. The increased public revenues can be used for more public provision in necessary areas to ensure the social and economic rights of citizens. All this is clearly possible, even for a small country operating with several constraints in the globally integrated world.
This is a message that must reach policymakers everywhere, especially in India where the general attitude towards both revenue mobilization and social spending is defeatist and conservative in the extreme. Even more, this message should reach people everywhere so that they can create much more public pressure to achieve what turns out to be eminently doable.
Jayati Ghosh is Professor of Economics and Chairperson at the Centre for Economic Studies and Planning, School of Social Sciences, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, India.
Ecuador Creating Alternative to Neo-Liberal Model, interview with Jayati Ghosh by The Real News Network, uploaded Feb 1, 2012. Here's a transcribed passage from the video in which Ghosh talks about Ecuador's experiment with different forms of property and business ownership, a new form of socialism if you will:
I think that what they're doing is they're trying for a middle path between those who say let's manage capitalism and somehow make it better and less oppressive and those who say no, no, just get rid of capitalism, just dump it altogether and go for something completely new. They're trying for a middle path. And in this middle path the notion that there can be one centralized state that controls an undifferentiated mass of workers, that doesn't exist. There's very much a focus on citizen's rights and on collective rights. So that they recognize different communities, different ethnic groups, indigenous and different language speaking peoples. They call themselves a plural-national state. And what is very important is that they recognize the rights of nature. They say that nature – Pachamama – as they say has specific rights and duties and obligations that the state must bear to ensure the preservation of nature and that all citizens and all economic actors also have to ensure the preservation of nature.

Rievaulx Abbey
In 1182 the first Cistercian monasteries were built in the British Isles with Rievaulx being built three years later. The intention was to make the Abbey a centre for Cistercian reform in the north under the direction of Abbot William. Its patron was Walter Espec, Lord of Helmsley, an active supporter of ecclesiastical reform who provided the land. However Rievaulx's founding monastery was Clairvaux in France and its Abbot, Bernard, wrote to King Henry I to enlist his support in the development of the monastic order. The early Cistercians saw themselves as spiritualised militia taking the fight to the north. In a similar vein Abbot Bernard also became the sponsor and patron of the Knights Templar. The Abbey expanded and became a glorious and flourishing community. However its decline came under King Henry VIII when he closed numerous monasteries including Rievaulx, claiming sedition after the uprising of the Pilgrimage of Grace. Rievaulx still retains the monastic grace and grandeur of a time that has past and gone.

10 Marriage Tips From A Woman's Perspective, A Beautiful Response To Divorced Man's Advice
Let's take a look into the vantage point of marriage from a woman's perspective.
A while back, we shared an interesting article that ultimately went viral, the 20 Epic Marriage Advice from a divorced man. Everyone expressed their different opinions. Most people admire him because it takes guts to stand up and be transparent about your failures. It's equally as commendable to stand up and say how you'd do things differently. But some people aren't happy, they think the article is biased and must've been written by a disgruntled woman.
Then we received an email from a woman who claimed she has triumphed the murky waters of divorce. She said, the divorced man's advice are quite nice. But one thing that his post is lacking, however, is the female perspective. And with that, she offered her own version of his wise marriage tips.
#1. Respect your husband.
Notice how it doesn't say "Respect your husband if he has earned it". A man's greatest need in this world is to be respected, and the person he desires that respect from the most is his wife. The trap that we've all been ensnared by is that they only deserve our respect when they earn it. Yes, we want our husbands to make decisions that will ultimately garner our respect, but the truth is that your husband is a human being.
A human being who makes mistakes. This is the man that YOU have chosen to walk alongside you for the rest of your life, and to lead your family and he needs to be respected for that quality alone. Take it from me – when respect is given even when he doesn't deserve it, it will motivate him to earn it. That doesn't mean you pretend that his choices are good ones when they aren't. Things like that still need to be communicated, but you can flesh out your differences WITH RESPECT. It makes all the difference in the world to him.
#2. Guard your heart.
The grass is not greener on the other side. Do not believe the lie that with a slimmer figure, a higher salary, a faster car, or a bigger house, you will be a happier woman. The world is full of things and people that will serve as reminders that you don't have the best of the best, but it's simply not true.
Live the life you've been blessed with, and BE THANKFUL. I get that we all have struggles, and there are even times when I would love 1,000 more square feet of house to live in, but square feet is not fulfilling – relationships are. Guard your heart from things and people that will try to convince you that your life or your husband is not good enough. There will always be bigger, faster, stronger, or shinier – but you'll never be satisfied with more until you're fulfilled with what you have now.
#3. God, husband, kids… in that order.
I know this isn't a popular philosophy, especially among mothers, but hear me out. It's no secret that my faith is of utmost importance, so God comes first in my life no matter what. But regardless of your belief system, your husband should come before your kids. Now unless you're married to someone who is abusive (in which case, I urge you to seek help beyond what my opinion can give you), no man in his right mind would ask you to put your kids aside to serve his every need while neglecting them. That's not what this means.
When you board an airplane, the flight attendants are required to go over emergency preparedness prior to take-off. When explaining the part about how to operate the oxygen mask, passengers are instructed to first put the mask on themselves before putting it on their small child. Is that because they think you are more important than your kids? Absolutely not. But you cannot effectively help your child if you can't breathe yourself. The same holds true with marriage and parenting. You cannot effectively parent your children if your marriage is falling apart. Take it from me – I tried. There will also come a time when your kids will leave the house to pursue their dreams as adults. If you have not cultivated a lasting relationship with your spouse, you will have both empty nests and empty hearts.
#4. Forgive. no one is perfect.
Everyone makes mistakes. If you make forgiveness a habit – for everything from major mistakes to little annoyances (every day, I have to forgive my husband for leaving the wet towel on the bathroom counter ;)) – you will keep resentment from growing.
#5. Over-communicate.
I used to have a bad habit of not speaking my feelings. I played the standard "You should know why I'm mad" game, and that's just downright unfair. Men are not wired like women, and they DON'T always know that they've been insensitive. I'm still growing in this area, and there are often times when my husband has to pry something out of me, but I'm trying to remember that I need to just communicate how I feel.
#6. Schedule a regular date night.
This one isn't new, but it's very important. Never stop dating your spouse. Even if you can't afford dinner and a movie (which we seldom can), spending some regular one-on-one time with your spouse is essential. Don't talk about bills, or schedules, or the kids. Me and my husband often daydream about our future, or plan our dream vacation. We connect emotionally and often learn something new about each other – even after years of marriage.
#7. Never threaten with divorce or separation.
If you're gonna say it, you better mean it. Plain and simple, threatening divorce or separation is not fighting fair. I did this a lot in my previous marriages. I'm not proud of it, but I learned better. I was hurting deeply, and I wanted to hurt back, but it never helped me feel better.
#8. Learn his love language.
Everyone has a love language. The way you perceive love is often different from the way your spouse perceives love. Does he like words of affirmation, or does he respond better when you give him gifts? Whatever his love language is – learn it and USE IT.
#9. Never talk negatively about him.
I learned this lesson the hard way too. If you're going through a difficult time in your marriage and you need advice, see a counsellor. Family counselling is a great tool, but try to remember that your family members and friends are not the most objective people to give advice. The argument they are hearing is one-sided and they often build up negative feelings toward your spouse, which usually doesn't subside once you and your husband have gotten past it. Protect his image with those that you're close with and seek help from those that can actually be objective. News flash, ladies – your mother cannot be objective!
#10. Choose to love.
There are times in a marriage that you may wake up and not feel in love anymore. Choose to love anyway. There are times when you may not be attracted to your husband anymore. Choose to love anyway. Marriage is a commitment. In sickness and health, in good times and in bad. Those vows are sacred. They don't say "if you have bad times". They say "in good times AND in bad", implying that there WILL be bad times. It's inevitable. So choose to love anyway. He's worth it.
Marriage: If you want something to last forever, you treat it differently. You shield it and protect it. You never abuse it. You don't expose it to the elements. You don't make it common or ordinary. If it ever becomes tarnished, you lovingly polish it until it gleams like new. It becomes special because you have made it so, and it grows more beautiful and precious as time goes by.

She Invited a Stranger to Sit with Her in a Restaurant. What She Discovered was Tear-Jerking
Random acts of kindness can indeed create wonderful friendships.
Some people find it uncomfortable or awkward to dine alone in the restaurant and this was the case for Brooke Ochoa, a woman who invited a stranger to sit with her in a restaurant.
According to Brooke's Facebook post, she noticed an old woman, whom she earlier held a door for, ask a waitress "for a table for one".
At first, Brooke hesitated to approach the elderly woman but soon gathered enough courage to invite her eventually.
This Modern Day Hero Proved That 30 minutes CAN Produce Miracles. Brilliant idea!
Tommy Klein had enough of the messy river bank in his town. So he did something about it!
Every year, tons of garbage are collected all across the globe. This year alone, an estimated 2.6 trillion pounds of garbage are feared to be generated worldwide. As stated by The Atlantic, that's about the weight of 7,000 Empire state buildings!
Thanks to the modern day heroes like this guy though, we finally see that people are willing to make a big difference.
Everyday, Tommy Klein would ride his bike and take a quick tour on random places. However, as he passed by the river bank daily as he went to work, he felt enjoying the sunset or the sunrise no longer excites him. Why? because the picturesque view has been replaced with piles of garbage. Scattered rubbish have become an eye sore. Instead of being permanently discouraged though, Klein decided to deal with the problem - even it meant doing things by himself.

Three new orthopaedic wards were officially opened at Warwick Hospital on Monday March 7.
MP for Warwick and Leamington Chris White, consultant orthopaedic surgeon Steve Young, clinical director for orthopaedics Ike Nwachukwu, chief executive Glen Burley and chairman Russell Hardy all attended to cut the ribbon and declare the new three floor building open.
The extension to the existing hospital is now a centre of excellence for orthopaedic care and the additional 57 beds will help South Warwickshire NHS Foundation Trust to meet the healthcare needs of an increasing and ageing population.
The top floor of the new building also offers NHS patients the option to pre-book a single en-suite room while they recover from their surgery. While the NHS clinical care for patients who book these rooms remains the same, they will benefit from enhanced facilities and all of the income is reinvested back into NHS services.
Glen Burley said: "It is great to see staff and patients in the new facilities. I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone that has been involved in the development.
"Having a dedicated area for our orthopaedic patients supports efficiency, helping our clinical teams to deliver safe, effective, compassionate care."

Poetry. Writerly Advice. Memoir. Literary Analysis. Book Reviews. Serious Journalism.
Confident. Daring. Witty. Morgan Parker's debut collection Other People's Comforts Keep Me Up at Night handles modern culture and autobiography with comedic elegance. She crafts poems that observe the beauty and ugliness of American life. From poems about discrimination to social media, Parker uses powerful emotions to build a sense of immediacy and definition within the collection that builds upon itself from beginnings to endings and page to page.
In "If My Housemate Fucks with Me I Would Get So Real (Audition Tape Take 1)" Parker begins with "I didn't come here to make friends," and ends with "I'm so real my hair is going gray, / legs bruised up like tree bark, / veins of my neck as swollen as / ripe fruit, the cheeks of what is growing." A vivid juxtaposition of internal negotiations and external physicality dominate her poetry We see a speaker navigate life with daring resolution. What begins as internal interlocution morphs into brilliantly written visual images. As each poem ends, the underbelly is exposed, the violence about to burst. Which is what seems to be what Parker is aiming for. Questions about American culture, environment, and relationships stack on top of each other until the reader has exhausted all mental resources.
Parker extends her reach into American culture with a fierceness that excites astute criticism of the current atmosphere. Through materials such as Jay-Z, reality television, and song lyrics, Parker is confident, chiding both what she does and doesn't understand. She points at femininity and gender roles with comical lines like, "Cinderella jams to Curtis Mayfield/ while scrubbing her/ own vomit from the bathroom/ tiles. On her hands and knees/ she's all like, / Damn why/ I gotta be the man of the house?" The words are humorous, but there is a deep concern beneath her words—Parker has more to say that just quick quips. Her work is here to move the hard conversations of our society forward.
Oftentimes, the speaker desires tangible honesty, admitting that "Touching you on the shoulder/ is the honest I've been/ all week." Subtly, Parker points out a flaw with the digital era, the lack of human connection. The focus on virtual versus real threads throughout the collection. Her poem "Everything Is Bothering Me" goes far enough to point the finger at herself and others with:
I am trying to sleep alone
you are doing whatever
I swear to God I know people
they live on the internet/ they are the best.
Parker indicts herself. She isn't afraid of being called out on the very flaws she writes about because this is a poetry about the people, and how we need to be better. Technology and its grip on our attention troubles the voice in this collection as it pulls her into further bouts of loneliness. We see Parker attempt to disengage from tethered technology with the lines, "So I can be more present/ I am getting e-mails on my phone/ there are other places/ ways of living/ we have ruled them out," but ultimately failing. Society has only mobilized the oppressor, not squashed it out. Through heavy enjambment and a lack of punctuation, her poems rush forward to create an incredible sense of urgency of the matter.
Alongside the social criticism and the urgency to reconnect is a tough, vulnerable voice. That voice starts from the collection's title Other People's Comforts Keep Me Up at Night. The title reeks of anxiety and desperation to understand the world it inhabits. And quickly, we learn that this voice, and the insomniatic habit perturbed by other's creature comforts resonates on every single page. This is an intelligent, complicated voice who knows what it feels like to hurt. The voice knows heartache, but shades it with a toughness that can only be described as resilient in its efforts to shield itself from further pain.
Other People's Comfort Keeps Me Up at Night is a provocative collection investigating and revealing problematics within American society. Parker successfully troubles still waters of society's lethargic acceptance of what it means to "live in this day and age." She positions power, money and complacency against happiness, success and ambition; voices like Parker's are must to draw our attention to the comforts of our lives that have taken away the facets of humanity.
Covered up. That's what happened to the name of the original author of The Mansion. Mary Ruefle seems to care little for the previous author, shamelessly taking the book as her own by erasing the original text and everything else that once made it Henry Von Dyke's book. That is, until you dive into Ruefle's heavy-handed process of creating something new from something borrowed:
Everyone knows that I can afford to live/ in/a text
The formation of immortality surfaces through the erasure, for both Ruefle and Von Dyke. The omission of the original text under whiteout quiets the pages and allows new meaning to come alive through what remains seen.
Erasures, the poetic act of deletion, censure and hiding what once was, is an art form Ruefle has claimed as her true form. In the act of erasing, Ruefle manages to open the book up, breathe into it new energy, and give it an audience it didn't have before Ruefle hid the contents away from our sight.
Not only does Ruefle cover up the text with white out, she affixes images, "stickers" and other visual layers to the top of the pages. Through erasure, she writes:
Using you as an illustration
We see Ruefle surface in this line with the vague 'you' often seen in the bulk of her poems. She calls out to a 'you' to serve as a piece of the erasure. The line is followed by a photo of a large, hairy spider glued over the remaining text on the page. As The Mansion progresses, Ruefle begins to use varying graphics to add a new element to the poetry.
The book becomes a multidimensional art piece that relies on Von Dyke's words, Ruefle's poetics, and visual collage. As it seems, Ruefle isn't erasing Von Dyke; rather she is collaborating with him.
Dashes and Such
Punctuation is at the heart of my poetry; it seeks to represent a psychological, physical, or emotional upset. A thwarting of sorts. Thwarting in poetry serves to impede or shift the poem from one line of thought into another—it can complicate the image, scene, or emotional tone of the poem. The dash doesn't always thwart—sometimes it adds to the previous statement, or provides emphasis (which is grammatically sound).
For me, a dash, whether internally or at the end of line offers the flexibility to make a poetic jump that requires space, or halting. I don't have a problem finding a place to insert a dash and it is something that I consider my strong point. My work is held up through the functions of a dash. My "problem" with the dash is writing the line or words that follow it. I am constantly asking myself how to proceed from there…what I should write next. Should I begin a new line of thinking? Should I complicate the previous image? It isn't about the position of the dash, rather what is to follow the dash. To understand the function of dashes and the subsequent lines and words, I am looking at a variety of poets that have mastered the use of a dash. The poets that I have looked at are:
· Emily Dickinson, The Collected Poems of Emily Dickinson
· William Carlos Williams, Spring and All
· EE Cummings, a selection of poems
· Kimberly Burnick, Good Night Brother
Annotations for William Carlos Williams' Spring and All:
"Or rather, the whole world is between: Yesterday, tomorrow, Europe, Asia, Africa, – all things removed and impossible, the tower of the church at Seville, the Parthenon."
Williams uses the dash to add motion to the prose. Moreover, it would seem that the dash serves to impede his series because it is a never-ending series. The list highlights how the eye cannot see any of these things in full—it his first mention of the use of the imagination versus reality. He cannot go on forever so he dashes off; he uses the punctuation instead of saying, etc… Another interesting facet of this section is Williams' use of a comma in conjunction with the dash, almost as though he is preparing his readers for a quiet upset. When I reach the comma, I take a breath because I can feel his choice to create a distance between what I have just read and what is about to come…which relates to the phrase, "the whole world is between." Furthermore, his dash does something that I myself want to do. He follows the dash with a statement that complicates the statement prior to the dash. Before the dash and the statement, the list was just a list, but the insertion of the statement completely changes the way the reader "reads" the list. It redefines what contemporaries of his time "see" the imagination.
This is different from my poetry because I use dashes to thwart an image or idea. I tend to dash off when I see the poem coming to a point that has nowhere to go or needs me to frustrate it into a new image or complicated idea, but I have a hard time creating a line after the dash that further complicates the previous lines and/or images. I lack the confidence to complicate the situation. After reading this bit of prose, I wanted to try it for myself with a previously written poem. I took a set of lines from "Lineage" that contains a dash and complicated it in the same way that WCW did:
Original Version:
"The concrete crushes the street heavy
after the sun sets little chirps turn off everywhere,
the world black
and the sky very gray
vultures circle in sync with the cyclone air—"
Adapted Version:
"The concrete crushes the street heavy
after the sun sets little chirps turn off everywhere,
the world black
and the sky very gray--
vultures circle readying to pluck out my eyes."
The image in the first set of lines ended with a dash and nothing followed it. The image hung there and didn't leave the reader with anything. I don't want that to become a habit in my work. To just end it. I rearranged the position of the dash to come before the last line in an effort to complicate the entire image and result in a blinding of the reader after so much seeing was presented in the previous sections.
"…we alone live there is but a single force— the imagination."
This is different from his other uses of the dash. He treats it with the same meaning as an equal sign. He gives the line equal weight on both sides of the dash and makes both clauses invaluable to the meaning of the poem.
Poem V, Page 23.
"enter black hearts. Barred from
seclusion in lilys they strike
to destroy—"
"Beastly humanity…"
The dash definitely thwarts the cultivated image and introduces a new idea and image. The image following the dash does resonate back to the other image…he maintains fluidity from one side of the dash to the other.
Poem VII, Page32:
"the Milky Way
without contact – lifting
from it – neither hanging
nor pushing—"
The series of dashes complicates and elaborates on a single idea.
Annotation Notes on Good Night Brother by Kimberly Burwick:
From "Weakening the Spring Currents" :
The poem starts out with a "How" question, ending in a dash:
"How could I have known that you
would sever the strict shimmering of all
green birds on snow--
each facing south-southwest"
Here is a classic example of a dash elaborating on the previous line, but in this case, the dash is vital to the entire poem. I think that without it, this poem would fail. As the reader, we are left wondering on the actual snow? On a snowplow? On a snow drift? Burwick leaves me wondering where we are other than the cold. Where is the speaker? Is this her imagination, a memory, or physical? Merely a metaphor? The line following the dash does it again…placing the to the south-southwest…looking? All facing one direction? To migration? To summer? She leaves me with so many questions, yet not misunderstood question since they all leave me in the same direction as the poem. Direction, metaphorically, literally, and spatially, it is directive. I took to her idea, and wrote something with a similar idea:
Each drake works her and when the offense is over--
they fly far, far away.
I wanted to give the lines that ambiguity that Burwick uses to create an open-ended tone and image.
Annotations on EE Cummings, a selection of poems:
Pg 42, the wind is a lady
"moves) at sunset
And who—touches—the
hills without any reason"
While this seems like the perfect interruptive notion of a dash, Cummings alters it slightly by treating the word that completes the statement like a secret. The word touches becomes sensual. Since many of my poems hit a sensual thread, I really liked the way he repositions the words within the punctuation to create a mood. By segregating the word touches, he sets up the entire poem for tactile exploration. The other reason that I am attracted to this set of lines is because I do not tend to use two dashes this close together to segregate a word, phrase, or idea, and that is something that I am learning to include in my work to enhance the reading of my poetry. Like before, I went ahead and attempted the Cummings-style dash:
"Her mouth lies to me,
—lips moistened--
smirking her crooked lips stained blue"
Cummings does something else with the dash that I haven't seen very often and that is to put it at the beginning of a stanza. The "front" dash adds an interiority to his poetry that deepens the meaning. For example, in "here is ocean, this is the moonlight" on page 94, Cummings writes about the ocean and the moon, of course talking about love, but sticks hard to the metaphor until he reaches the dash.
See here:
"forgets the entire and perpetual sea
—but if yourself consider wonderful
That your (how luminous) life toward twilight will…"
He stops for a moment and in the stanza that starts with the dash, he inserts himself into the poem. He connects the lovers.
Annotated Notes on Emily Dickinson:
I read a dozen of Emily Dickinson's poems searching for answers about the dash. I found her work difficult to discuss because she uses it formally with a comma that precedes the dash. Moreover, I found that Dickinson used the dash as a substitution for most other punctuation, i.e. periods, colons, semicolons, etc. Her poems relied on the dash, but not in a way that complicated her lyrics. Since I don't share the same style, I didn't find her work useful for the thread that I am working on with respect to dashes. I did note that it was interesting that Dickinson's poems survived through dashes and I intend to try my hand at writing a poem that only uses dashes as punctuation. For that, I am glad that I reevaluated her work with dashes in my head.
Do you ever that moment when you come across a book and say to yourself, "You Bitch." to the author for doing exactly what you crave to do with your work?
That has happened to me twice this week. Once when I picked up a copy of Rebecca Wolff's The King and after finishing Catherine Wagner's My New Job. Damn. Both women write about pregnancy, childhood and motherhood. They execute it with delicate brutality.
Soon, I will be one of them. Soon, my book will be spoken of in reference to these topics. Yes it will. I have decided it to be so.
