'9-1-1: Lone Star' Boss on T.K. & Carlos, Owen's Health & a Potential Season 2

911 Lone Star Season 1 Finale What's Next
Kevin Estrada/FOX

[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for the Season 1 finale of 9-1-1: Lone Star, "Awakening" and "Austin, We Have a Problem."]

9-1-1: Lone Star's first season may not have ended with a cliffhanger, but it still set up plenty of storylines to continue.

Co-creator Tim Minear told TV Insider that there's no word yet if there will be a second season. However, he certainly knows where he'd take the characters next after a two-hour season finale filled with good and bad news.

Plus, he shares which emergencies have been exciting to film, and more.

First, the (very) good news: T.K. (Ronen Rubinstein) survives after he was shot on a call. But the bad news is he has some thinking to do about his future as a firefighter as he recovers. "I don't know if this is really who I am," he admits to his father. When a solar storm hits Texas, however, he leaps into action to save a bus driver and realizes he's where he wants to be, with the 126 crew.

Meanwhile, Michelle reunites with her sister and learns she's been living under a bridge. But she and her mother aren't enough to convince Iris to come home rather than listen to the voices wanting her to stay where she is.

Here, Minear discusses the season finale and teases what could happen next if the Fox series is renewed.

911 Lone Star Season 1 Finale Judd Owen

(Jack Zeman/FOX)

Any plans you can share for a potential Season 2? Will you delve deeper into the 126 crew's lives, maybe have flashbacks that shows us more of where they were before than what we got in the pilot?

Tim Minear: Oh, definitely. We would be obviously taking deep dives into the stories of all the characters. We might even see some of the history of the 126 before the tragic events that brought the current configuration together. That would probably be a Judd story, where we're meeting the crew that he lost.

And we'd see how he was back then because we met him at that tragic accident.

Yes, because the truth is you don't just get over post-traumatic stress syndrome. It comes back. That's something that he'll have to continue to deal with going forward.

Will you ease up on T.K.'s near-death experiences?

I think T.K.'s safe for the time being.

How much did T.K. need that season-ending journey to figure things out since it started with him really having no control, with his relationship and where he was living and working?

He needed it a lot. The interesting thing for me about T.K. is something that we touch upon in Episode 9, which is he kind of lost his father to 9/11 as well. Rebuilding his fire station in New York was something that obsessed Owen when T.K. was at a very formative age, six or seven years old. T.K. really needed a father and he saw that his father was a father to this firehouse. So he joined that family in order to get a father.

911 Lone Star Carlos TK Relationship

(Jack Zeman/FOX)

He needed a moment of agency for himself where he was actually choosing this life and knowing that it was something he was meant to do, as opposed to something he was doing in order to get a father. His first near-death experience was a little bit of a wake-up call. His second near-death experience was him actually waking up. That's really the story of T.K. in Season 1, which is also why we called Episode 9 "Awakening." It's really T.K.'s awakening, not just him waking up from a coma, but him beginning to wake up to the reality of who he's meant to be.

Speaking of T.K.'s choices, that ties into his relationship with Carlos, right? At the beginning of the season, he was very casual about it, and then we got that sweet moment in the finale.

Yes. I noticed that a lot of fans were like, "Wait, we missed their whole relationship." The idea was that Carlos was an immediate rebound moment for T.K., so things started hot, but that wasn't a relationship. Now, finally, T.K. can start to explore what a relationship really is and so we'll get to see how that plays itself out. We're actually going to get the courtship after the fact.

Also posing for some fun snaps were the stars of ‘Lego Masters,' 'Deputy,' 'Outmatched,' and 'Filthy Rich.'

This season, we saw Owen and T.K. coming to terms with Owen’s cancer. How's he doing at the end of Season 1?

Owen's health at the end of Season 1 is on an upswing. He's making a lot of progress with the treatments, so he is not in immediate jeopardy in terms of cancer, but that issue is also not resolved, and there can be ups and downs when it comes to that as well.

Owen met Zoe earlier in the season, and while they seem to be on track, she's still just his "date" in the finale. What did you want to do with that relationship considering where Owen is in his life right now?

Owen is very open to a relationship, and Zoe is somebody that he connects with. She's a challenge for him because she's the smartest person in the room. She's very together. She's a grounding element for him. But for Owen and Zoe both, they're of a certain age where they can enjoy each other without putting a lot of undue romantic expectations on each other. There's room for a relationship for Owen, whether it's Zoe, I don't know. It all depends considering now Natalie Zea got another show.

911 Lone Star Grace Judd Married

(Kevin Estrada/FOX)

Grace and her and Judd's relationship were easily among the highlights of the season. What went into deciding to have that level of stability with her character and their marriage?

For me, Judd and Grace really are kind of the perfect couple. They support one another. They love one another. They have the benefit as characters of us coming into a situation where they're already established. They have a story we will see. We meet Judd's father in Season 1, and we'll meet Grace's family in Season 2. There will be things about that that you won't expect.

For me, doing this show about a guy from New York who comes to Texas and has certain preconceived notions of what Texas is — Judd and Grace just exemplify the thing you're not expecting, the thing that says a lot about how we look at Texas. These two people are products of that place. They're not outsiders. For me, it was very important that Judd and Grace, and Judd particularly, be a character that we could empathize with and understand but that he would be pure Texan. The great thing about Jim Parrack is he's pure Texan. That's Jim.

'9-1-1' Returns: Check Out the Spring Premiere Rescues (PHOTOS)

The first responder drama returns on March 16 with 'Seize the Day.'

Michelle had this season-long journey of finding her sister, but now that she has, how does that change her going forward, not just because she knows where her sister is but because looking for her was such a big part of her life?

Finding Iris and finding Iris in the state in which she was found is going to fundamentally change who Michelle is, and it will alter the course of her life and what is now an occupation will probably become a kind of vocation. She's going to find a deeper purpose and a new meaning for her life and it's going to happen because of how she's going to have to deal with her mentally ill sister, who is still living on the streets.

Might we see some of these characters over on 9-1-1 this season? We had Pepper on Lone Star, then got a mention of Chimney, though he wasn’t named.

I have a thought for a way of doing at least a bit of a crossover, but you're not going to see any of those characters in the back eight of 9-1-1 this year. Those two universes exist in their own places right now, this year, but you never know what's going to happen going forward.

9-1-1 Lone Star Crossover Erin Karpluk Pepper

Jack Zeman/FOX)

So could there be a mention on 9-1-1 like there was on Lone Star?

I think there could be more than a mention, but I think that would happen in Season 4 of 9-1-1 or Season 2 of Lone Star, probably more on Lone Star.

BT60 residents urged to to follow public health advice

Eighteen more deaths related to coronavirus
Name Last Name

Name Last Name

RESIDENTS in the BT60 postcode, which takes in part of Armagh city, Markethill and Keady, have been urged to follow public health advice as greater restrictions are set to come in place from 5pm tomorrow (Friday).

The announcement was made by Health Minister Robin Swann in an urgent written statement to the Assembly.

He said, "Today I informed Executive colleagues that the postcode BT60 is now significantly above the previously agreed threshold of 80 positive cases per 100,000 for imposing localised restrictions, and all cases at this time appear due to household or community transmission.

"My Department will therefore be adding BT60 to the areas under local restriction.

"It is my intention that the restrictions for this postcode will be underpinned in regulation and be effective from 5pm Friday, September 18.

"It is expected that the impact of these restrictions on transmission will take around two weeks to become apparent.

"These restrictions will be retained only as long as they are deemed necessary and proportionate.
However I would remind Members that local restrictions may need to be introduced urgently in further areas in response to spikes in incidence. I will endeavour to try to keep the House informed of those decisions, even through regular short written statements.

The restrictions mainly relate to household gatherings:

  • no mixing of households in private dwellings, with exemptions for:bubbling with one other household
  • caring responsibilities including childcare
  • essential maintenance
  • supported living arrangements
  • visits required for legal or medical purposes
  • marriage or civil partnership ceremony in a private dwelling where one partner is terminally ill
  • no more than six people to gather in a private garden from no more than two households

Sinn Féin MLA Cathal Boylan has said he is concerned as the number of local COVID-19 cases accelerate.

The Newry and Armagh MLA said, “It is a matter of great concern that the number of positive COVID-19 cases in BT60 has exceeded the agreed threshold of 80 positive cases per 100,000 for imposing local restrictions.

“The Chief Medical and Scientific Officers have now advised the Executive that local restrictions should be brought into effect, with restrictions coming into place from tomorrow at 5pm.

"While these restrictions will be undoubtedly tough for local residents in this part of Armagh, they are necessary and in the best interest of the community.

“I am encouraging residents in BT60 to follow the public health advice – by doing so, you will help prevent the further spread of the virus and ultimately save lives within our community.”

Last week people living in Ballymena town, those who live in the Belfast council area and with postcodes which take in areas north east of Ballymena, and parts of Glenavy, Lisburn and Crumlin were subject to greater restrictions.

Kamala Harris takes the spotlight as vice-presidential candidate: A moment for her and history – World News , Firstpost

Like every vice-presidential candidate, Kamala Harris will be judged in the coming weeks in a multitude of ways: Her ability as a campaigner, and her skill at drawing in Trump, debating Mike Pence and exciting turnout among voters etc

Kamala Harris stands before the Democratic Party as the bridge between a moderate generation of leaders and younger liberals on the rise, balancing the obligations of promoting Joe Biden while offering herself to someday lead the party into a post-Biden era.

Pressures, hopes, aspirations — this was the burden on Harris at the Democratic convention Wednesday, as she sought to introduce herself to a nation and a party that really barely knows her. But this is also the burden that will be on her for the next four years if she and Biden win in November.

Rarely has a vice-presidential candidate served under a presidential nominee who well may not seek a second term. As a result, Harris carries an extraordinary weight of expectations from her party to rise to the demands of leadership.

“That’s a lot to put on the shoulders of a person,” said Tim Kaine, the Virginia senator who was the vice-presidential candidate for Hillary Clinton in 2016. In the tumultuous tent that is the ever-changing Democratic Party, he said, there was no one person Biden could have chosen who would appeal to everyone.

“There’s no way that you’re going to get, in this broad family, like everybody like, ‘Oh, you were my first pick’,” he said, even as he spoke enthusiastically about Harris.

If anything, the first two days of the convention were about the party trying to paper over any kinds of disagreements, aiming to present a united front of moderates and progressives, as well as some Republicans and democratic socialists. With elaborate videos and stage-managed speeches, Democrats showcased diversity — racial, gender, age — while nominating a 77-year-old White grandfather from Delaware as their standard-bearer. Party leaders gave small slots to liberals, though barely gave a platform to their policy goals like “Medicare for All.”

For the time being, the party’s desire to beat President Donald Trump overrides all over factors. But if the Democrats succeed, Trump will be gone, and the challenge of satisfying the many constituent parts of the Democratic Party will become only more difficult for Harris, the figure who is supposed to be that bridge for generations and the face of the party’s future.

Like every vice-presidential candidate, Harris will be judged in the coming weeks in a multitude of ways: Her ability as a campaigner, and her skill at drawing in Trump, debating Mike Pence and exciting turnout among voters — particularly younger voters and progressives — who might not be overly enthusiastic about turning out in a pandemic to support Biden.

But as a woman of colour seeking an office held only by White men so far, she may also be judged by some in ways that reflect deep-seated biases that remain strong in segments of the country. Harris, in remarks prepared for delivery at the convention, took this subject on directly for her Democratic audience, and it is probably not the last time she will need to address it in the months ahead.

“We must elect a president who will bring something different, something better, and do the important work,” she planned to say. “A president who will bring all of us together — Black, White, Latino, Asian, Indigenous — to achieve the future we collectively want. We must elect Joe Biden.”

She now faces some daunting tests as she steps into the biggest spotlight of her career at a pivotal moment for the nation and her party.

Can Harris, a former prosecutor and relatively moderate Democrat, navigate the complex political terrain marked by a rapid transformation in ideology, powered by the rise on the Left, and on the verge of a generational handoff?

Given Biden’s age, does the first-term Democratic senator from California, whose career in public service began 16 years ago as the San Francisco district attorney, seem prepared to step into the Oval Office should that be necessary?

She would be the first Black woman and first person of Indian descent to ever serve as vice-president, and the power of such a historically symbolic choice was evident in the excitement that greeted her selection and has coursed through this convention (albeit virtually). After a primary that was dominated by two White men and one White woman, all over 70 years old, the election of a 55-year-old woman of colour signalled that the Democratic Party’s leadership is catching up with the demographic changes that have swept the country.

She has shown herself to be a fierce debater and sharp speaker during her short-lived campaign for president and, even more, as a member of the Judiciary Committee questioning Attorney-General William Barr. There is little doubt in Democratic circles that she will live up to the tradition of vice-presidential candidates wielding the sword against the other side.

“Trump’s failure of leadership has cost lives and livelihoods,” she planned to say. “The constant chaos leaves us adrift. The incompetence makes us feel afraid. The callousness makes us feel alone. It’s a lot.”

But even the toughest campaign in California doesn’t approach what it’s like battling on a national stage, particularly in a nation as polarised as this one, and particularly in the age of Trump. She has had competitive contests in California, but her presidential campaign collapsed early, beset by infighting and a lack of clear message from its candidate.

Patti Solis Doyle, who served as a campaign manager for Clinton’s 2008 presidential run, pointed to the surge of contributions that followed Harris’ announcement — $48 million in 48 hours — as a sign of the enthusiasm she infused into the presidential race, and evidence of what she brought to the ticket.

“It’s fair to say she’s really energised the race, the ticket, and people — voters, Democrats — are excited at the prospect of the first African-American woman, the first American-Indian woman on a national ticket,” said Solis Doyle of Harris, who is the daughter of immigrants from India and Jamaica.

Kaine said Harris could help the ticket expand its generational appeal, engaging Americans who feel it’s time for a new guard even as some older voters have indicated that they are comfortable with Biden’s centrist views and promises to restore civility and stability to government.

“There’s a segment of the Democratic vote, not all of this, but a segment that may be a little bit older that just wants competence and character and kind of old-time virtues to come back into the Oval Office,” he said. “You also want to have some excitement and energy. And Kamala really brings that.”

But her bigger challenge — for Harris as a candidate, potential vice president and future party leader — is how she responds to the rising influence of the left wing of the party. Biden won the Democratic primary on his strengths with Black voters, older voters across the board and White suburbanites, but younger and more liberal voters overall were sceptical of his Centre-Left instincts and embrace of bipartisanship, of which they were reminded of with the awarding of prime speaking spots Monday and Tuesday to Republicans backing Biden.

And while Harris, as a product of California, is more fluent in the language of the Left than Biden, her selection did not reassure many liberal Democrats, wary of her record on criminal justice and policing issues.

“She’s the choice of the party establishment to be the standard-bearer, but she’s not the choice of the party’s base, especially the next generation of Democrats,” said Waleed Shahid, a spokesman for the prominent progressive organisation Justice Democrats. He praised her record on climate issues but said he was concerned that she had not denounced economic inequality and “oligarchy” with the vigour of Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont or another liberal candidate in the primary, Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts.

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, one of the most prominent leaders of the progressive wing, never mentioned Biden or Harris when she spoke for 90 seconds nominating Sanders on Tuesday night.

That dissent has been largely submerged during this convention, testimony to the party’s hunger to defeat Trump. But that will change if the Democrats win. Harris will need to finesse this divide or risk a primary from the Left should the time come when she is the one running for president.

“The key issues for progressives are Medicare for All, a wealth tax, a commitment to free college tuition,” said California Representative Ro Khanna, a leader of the Sanders campaign. “The best way to win over progressives is to take bold positions on policy. Progressives, my experience, they are not as interested in the theatre of politics.”

Varshini Prakash, the executive director of the Sunrise Movement, a youth-led group of climate activists, said Harris’ nomination was a historic moment that excited Democrats across generational and ideological spectra.

“I think Harris could represent one way in which the future of the Democratic Party is headed,” she said. “But the Democratic Party has far more ideological diversity that goes beyond the Harris ticket.”

Harris does not appear to have any such doubts. She has been elevated by Biden to national stature, embraced by many in the party, and celebrated at a convention. Things will surely get more difficult in the weeks and, should she win, the years ahead. But for now, addressing Democrats with a message about unity and the future in the midst of a pandemic, presenting herself as a new leader of the party to a nation facing an unnerving future, this was Kamala Harris’ moment.

Prosthetic & Orthotic

Prosthetic & Orthotic Supply Software

As prosthetics and orthotic devices become more advanced, they’re continually improving the lives of patients.

With those advances also comes rising equipment costs, along with greater opportunities for your organization to grow.

Because many healthcare providers are looking for ways to better manage their prosthetic and orthotics stock, their software platform is one of the avenues targeted for improvement. From managing patient billing to scheduling routine inventory restocking, and more – there’s a wide range of mission-critical processes that can benefit from automation. This allows your staff to focus on customer relationships and other services that require a human touch.

Manage Your Inventory, Automate Billing & Other Tasks

Many of our clients are providers of off-the-shelf and custom-made prosthetic and orthotic devices like shoe inserts, bracing, and artificial limbs. The success of your organization leans heavily on patient satisfaction. With Universal Software’s healthcare companion, you can gain visibility on patient buying cycles and a range of other data points. Our software companion can help schedule equipment deliveries, notify staff when inventory runs low, and measure key performance indicators.

Along with benefits for your patients, integrating our software companion into your existing platform improves the capabilities of your staff in a variety of ways. Customized reporting adds visibility to your workflow, which in-turn helps you detect inefficiencies in an effort to make improvements to how your organization operates.

Providers of custom prosthetic and orthotic devices who’ve partnered with Universal Software are able to easily manage appointments with Orthotists and other professionals. This allows users across all locations to exist in one appointment calendar. Integrating a calendar into the software companion allows users to pull patient information into the appointment they are setting with one click, as well as track appointment history for a more compliant experience.

Once patients are assessed, the Complex Items & Rehab companion allows your professionals to build one parts list that’s then used to automatically create any Prior Authorizations, Medical Documents, Purchase Orders, Patient Estimates, or Work Orders.

Crowdsourcing Can Deliver Real Time Support for Physicians

Apr. 29, 2014

crowdsourcingA new study shows that physicians can successfully harness the power of crowdsourcing to help diagnose and treat patients in real time.  The pilot project, the results of which appear in the Journal of Hospital Medicine, could help providers make more informed decisions and improve the quality of care.

The findings were the result of an eight month field test of a mobile software application that involved 85 health care providers with UR Medicine.  The project was led by Marc Halterman, M.D., Ph.D. and Max Sims with the Department of Neurology, and Jeffrey Bigham, Ph.D. and Henry Kautz, Ph.D. with the Department of Computer Sciences.

While crowdsourcing has been successfully employed in a range of scientific endeavors – searching for extraterrestrial life, tracking bird migrations, folding proteins, and mapping the location of every tree in Britain – significant barriers have heretofore prevented its application to the field of clinical medicine.

There are several practical barriers that prevent clinicians from problem solving at the point of care. Often, physicians are busy and don’t have time to stop what they are doing and find a colleague with the appropriate expertise. And in some instances, physicians may shy away from asking for help if they think it will reflect poorly on their medical skills and knowledge.

The team developed an application called DocCHIRP for mobile (iOS and Android) and desktop use.  Devices using the software were encrypted and password protected.  The program allowed a provider to send inquiries to individual or groups of physicians and nurses that were part of the 85 person “crowd.”  The questions could require either a written or an agree/disagree response.

The most common inquiries were related to the effective use of medication (e.g. common side effects), navigating complex medical decisions, guidance regarding standard of care, the selection and interpretation of diagnostic tests, and patient referrals.   The fastest response time was 4 minutes and the median time it took for the first response to arrive was 19 minutes.

Despite the fact that physicians have at their disposal a wealth of resource that enable them to research medical questions, the authors found that many providers feel that the opinion and guidance of trusted peers were as or more valuable.

The team is in the process of developing a new crowdsourcing platform with the goal of involving a larger cadre of participating providers – which will potentially improve response and help minimize unnecessary interruptions – and allow doctors to send and received information anonymously, if necessary.

Caring for your kitten

Kittens are little more than balls of fluff when you bring them home, they’re ineffably cute but they’re also vulnerable and need a great deal of care to maintain kitten health and ensure their happiness well into adulthood.

kitten healthIt’s not just physical kitten health that you need to worry, but emotional and mental well-being too. We look at some guidelines to care for your kitten to the best of your ability and see that her every need is met.

Kitten health tips before you bring her home

You need to prepare your house for a kitten before bringing the little tyke home. You need to do two important things:

  • Make your house kitten-proof, which essentially means taking a kitten’s eye-view of your home to find and eliminate any potential dangers, such as curtain cords that could be fun to play with until kitty gets stuck in them and injures herself in her panic to get out, and electrical wiring that could also be tremendous fun to play with, until she chews through and electrocutes herself.
  • Prepare a safe place where your kitten can get used to her surroundings before unleashing her on the rest of your house. It’s best to designate one room in your house (the spare room) as the kitten’s room for the first couple of weeks. She should be confined to this room until she settles and gets used to all the different people and animals that she will encounter when she’s out.The room should be warm and quiet and should have enough space for her food and water to be kept far away from her litter trays (the litter tray rule should be one tray per cat plus one). Include additional soft spots (blankets on a chair) for her to nap on, a couple of interesting toys, some catnip, a cat tree and a scratching post so she has some things to keep her occupied during the day. A hidey hole is also a good idea; it could be as simple as cardboard box or a special cat tunnel; just some place where she can hide and be extra safe.

Find a vet

This is something you should also do prior to bringing your kitten home, as you need someone you know and trust before you have to panic and find a vet in an emergency. Talk to your friends with pets to get some recommendations and find out which vets local pet shops and shelters recommend.

You should make an appointment to see your vet soon after you bring your kitten home, so you can get an idea of her health status immediately and so you can get advice on how to care for any issues that crop up and prevent any problems from occurring. The first visit should really just be a check up and should remain as pleasant as possible so that your kitten can build positive associations with the vet, rather than have the first association be pain and fear.

The first visit is also a good time to discuss a vaccination schedule for your kitten and the best age for sterilisation.

Kitten vaccination schedule

Kittens should get their first vaccination when they’re 8 – 9 weeks old and their second vaccination at approximately 12 weeks old. Sometimes a third course is advised at around 16 – 20 weeks. The vaccinations are usually combined, so that your kitten doesn’t have to endure several injections at one time. Booster vaccinations are recommended to keep your cat in good health. The core vaccinations protect your kitten against the most dangerous cat viruses and diseases:

  • Feline panleucopenia (feline parvo) is not very common anymore, but vaccination is important to protect against sudden outbreaks. The disease can be fatal, especially to young kitten and unvaccinated cats. It is highly contagious.
  • Feline herpes virus (FHV-1) and feline calicivirus (FCV) can cause serious upper respiratory tract infections, which can lead to viral pneumonia. They are highly contagious and very common.
  • Feline leukaemia virus (FeLV) is highly contagious and quite common and can even be caught by kittens in utero.
  • Rabies

Non-core vaccines are available depending on your location and the types of diseases prevalent in your area. Non-core vaccinations:

kitten daiseys

  • Chlamydophila felis causes conjunctivitis and upper respiratory infections.
  • Bordetella bronchispetica causes upper respiratory infections and pneumonia in kittens.
  • Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) is common in cats, especially outdoor cats who like a bit of argy bargy.

Some kittens may suffer from side-effects after vaccination, side-effects are usually mild and most kittens regain their bounce after a day or two. Side-effects include lethargy, loss of appetite and a small lump on the vaccination site which may be painful. Some kittens may also get a slight fever and cough or wheeze, which are minor symptoms of respiratory infections, and still others may have a bout of vomiting and diarrhoea.

Treating parasites to ensure kitten health

Fleas, ticks and worms are common in kittens and, in addition to being an annoyance, can cause severe health problems. Fortunately, they can be treated quickly and painlessly. There a couple of important things to remember when treating your kitten for ticks, fleas and worms:

  • Never use dog treatments. Some of the ingredients used for dog treatments are toxic for cats, and even more so for kittens. In fact, if your dog has been treated with a product that uses permethrin, you should keep them separate from your kitten for two days.
  • Always use kitten-appropriate treatment. Some treatments have been specially formulated for kittens, otherwise you might have to go with weight-appropriate doses, or consult your vet if you are unsure what is safe and what is not for your kitten.

Many supermarkets sell tick, flea and worm treatments, but it’s best to go to a specialist vet or pet shop so that you get good quality, vet-endorsed products that are much safer and more effective.

Remember that if your kitten has fleas, you will need to treat the environment (bed, blankets, cushions, scratching posts, carpets, their favourite chair to nap in, etc.) to make sure that no fleas or eggs remain.

Sterilizing kittens

As with all household pets, sterilisation is highly recommended. Not only does it help control the population of unwanted kittens, but there are also health benefits for your cats and you can save yourself a lot of frustration by not having to deal with randy males wooing your female or with your hormoned-up male spraying everything in sight.

three kittensSome vets recommend early sterilisation – around 8 weeks – but other vets prefer to wait until 4 months. Talk to your vet and other cat specialists to get a better idea of the pros and cons of early and later sterilisation so you can make an informed decision.

Health benefits for spaying female kittens include:

  • Less risk of ovarian and uterine cancer
  • Reduced risk of urinary tract infections and pyometra
  • Lower chances of false pregnancies

Health benefits for neutering male kittens include:

  • Reduces risk of FIV as neutered cats are less likely to fight
  • Increase safety as neutered cats are less likely to roam (and be hit by cars, for example)
  • Reduced risk of testicular cancer

Grooming kittens

Cats are pretty good at grooming themselves, but getting your kitten used to handling early on will help greatly for all vet visits when they may be manhandled in all sorts of ways. If you have a longhaired cat, like a Persian, then you should get the kittens used to being groomed as soon as possible so that future trips to the parlour won’t be traumatic (and then choose your groomer with great care).

Longhaired kittens and cats should be brushed once a day to keep their coats knot-free; shorthaired kittens and cats can be brushed once a week to get rid of dead hair and keep the coat healthy and shiny, as well as reduce the incidence of hairballs. A good grooming routine will also increase the bond between you and your kitten.

You should also get into the habit of clipping your kitten’s nails.

Kitten identification

kitten scratching post

Unlike puppies and dogs, cats don’t often wear collars (and if they do they should be specially designed for cats), so they don’t always have ID tags. This makes microchipping extremely important so that if your kitten goes on a serious walkabout or is injured off property, they can be identified and you can be contacted.

Feeding kittens

Kittens’ nutritional needs differ from adult cats, so you should ensure that you have the right food for your kitten. You can buy food for specific breeds, so your kitten gets exactly the right food. You can feed your kitten wet or dry food or a combination of both. If you are feeding a combination, remember to calculate the correct amounts so you don’t over feed your kitten. Kittens should be fed 3 – 4 meals per day until they’re 4 months old, after which you can start decreasing the frequency until you’re feeding twice a day.

Food should always be placed far away from litter trays in a place where they can eat unmolested. You may have to do a little experimenting to see where your kitten is most comfortable, especially if you have other pets and young children.

A note on bowls: Cats prefer shallow, wide bowls so that they can keep an eye on their surroundings and so their whiskers don’t tickle the sides of the bowl. Wash the food bowl thoroughly after meals to remove all trace of leftovers. Bowls with fresh, clean water should always be available throughout your house, and there should also be a clean water source outside.

Socializing kittens

Kittens also need socialization to cope in a big, wide and loud world. Puppies’ socialization period lasts 16 weeks. Kittens have a much shorter period of 8 – 10 weeks. This means that a lot of responsibility lies with the breeder, foster family or shelter. However, owners shouldn’t forget to introduce their kitten to everything they’re likely to encounter in their new home. Novelties include visitors (kids, grandparents, etc.), other animals, appliances, sports equipment, and car trips.

Remember, exposure to these new experiences needs to be positive. If your kitten suddenly finds herself in the middle of the lawn with a looming mower, she may be terrified of all noises and machines for the rest of her life. Gradual exposure, combined with treats is the way to go.

Playing with kittens

kitten in fieldPlaying with your kitten is a great way to bond, exercise her innate hunting behavior and provide mental stimulation. Most kittens like toys that mimic prey. So any toys with quick and erratic movements great. Ideas include feathers on string, catnip mice, bouncy pimple balls and tinkle balls. Treat dispensers are great for exercising kitty’s brain.

Common kitten health problems and illnesses

While kittens are still very young and haven’t had all of their vaccinations, they may be prone to:

  • Upper and lower respiratory tract infections
  • Parasites, such as ear mites, worms and fleas
  • Diarrhoea

Some health problems require ongoing treatment to prevent or eliminate the problem, such as fleas and worms. Get into a regular deworming routine and keep your kitten’s preventative flea treatment up to date.

Signs of illness in kittens

Some signs of illness in kittens are more obvious than others. It’s important to monitor your kitten closely they’re at least 8 months old to spot any physical or behavioural changes that could be health-related.

Obvious signs of illness include:

  • Diarrhoea
  • Vomiting
  • Trouble urinating
  • Rapid, significant weight changes
  • Swelling (e.g., around the abdomen or on the limbs)
  • Limping
  • Bleeding (in stools or urine or from nose or mouth)
  • Coughing, wheezing
  • White gums
  • Skin conditions
  • Discharge from eyes or nose

Subtle signs of illness include:

  • Changes in appetite
  • Changes in water consumption
  • Lethargy, restlessness and excessive sleep
  • Sensitivity to touch
  • Changes in interactions – clingier than usual or more aloof
  • Bad breath
  • Changes in grooming habits
  • Increased or decreased vocalisation

two kittens

If you suspect that your kitten is not well, take her to the vet immediately. It’s better to over-react about constipation than to leave a problem until treatment is impossible.

Kitten insurance

Kittens are quite delicate and require a lot of care to keep them healthy and happy. Pet insurance makes sense because it helps you do just that.

You can rest assured that should anything happen to your darling kitten you have a range of healthcare options to choose from, including complementary treatment. You’ll even be covered if your kitten goes lost or is stolen and you need to advertise and offer a reward for her safe return.

Cleaning Up

Itâ€™s time for a new Weekend Project! Our new project was inspired by our beloved Clariposa, who posted a link a few days ago to a series of photos entitled Cleaning Up. I thought this would be a really cool idea as a weekend project! Our "Cleaning Up" project will require you to take two photographs... one photo being an image of a bunch of objects in disorder, and the second being an image of the same objects in an organized order. The two photos should be combined into one as a diptych.
Cleaning Up has 6 entries.

Transforming Valais: architects Bonnard and Wœffray. Fascinated by the grey of the barren rocks, the lush green of the vegetation and the power of the mountains, they design what could be described as pieces of “home”. Today, Geneviève Bonnard and Denis Wœffray are sporting leather jackets, jeans and black-and-white shirts as they come speeding up in their black sports car. You immediately know what to expect: efficiency and plain speaking.

The couple have a lot going on in their lives, both personally and professionally. Their architecture practice has full order books and they are winning competition after competition. Bonnard and Wœffray are well on their way to changing the look of Valais – at least in part. What fascinates them most about the task are the public spaces. “We have a very high quality of architecture here in Switzerland, as far as buildings at the municipal and cantonal levels are concerned,” says Denis Wœffray. And the country has produced a number of great architects who have made their mark internationally, he observes. And not just architects: Bonnard wanders over to the bookcase and takes out a book on engineer Alexandre Sarrasin (1895–1976), whose influence is much in evidence in Valais. Not only did he construct possibly one of the finest dams of its kind – Les Marécottes, with its multiple arches and buttresses – he also designed numerous slender bridges, such as the Gueuroz Bridge (1934) over the Trient Gorge. At a height of 187 meters, it is still the highest road bridge in Switzerland today. As the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne wrote on the occasion of its exhibition devoted to Sarrasin, the Cantonal Council of Valais propelled the canton into the modern era by commissioning the construction of railway and road bridges. Bonnard and Wœffray agree that the time has come for another step as bold as that taken at the start of the 20th century. They believe this would allow cantons and municipalities to develop visions of how we will live together in future and ideas on settlement policy.

Geneviève Bonnard e Denis Wœffray
Architecture blends into the landscape in the buildings of Bonnard und Woeffray. The centre in Saxon for people in difficult circumstances harmonises with its surroundings.

A building must interact with its surroundings – this is the couple’s firmly held belief. Take, for example, the centre in Saxon for people who find themselves in difficult circumstances: flanked on one side by the main road, with the motorway not too distant, and by vineyards and agricultural land on the other. “The building is meant for people who have not been treated kindly by life and its main purpose is to give them a roof over their head, dignity and a clear structure.” The centre blends into the landscape, adopting the colours of its surroundings and providing a sense of stability and security in its protected inner courtyard. The couple’s own office and home in Monthey is quite different: the cube-like structure has large windows that reflect the surroundings and make the outside a continuation of the inside. Partition walls of coloured plexiglass create a different mood in each space and connect the rooms. “Concrete, plexiglass and colours are of great importance to us,” says Bonnard.

And how do they work together? Who is more dominant? They both laugh. “Many architect couples and partners work by cultivating confrontation. We are quite different – it’s more of a symbiosis,” explains Denis Wœffray. First, they visit and observe the place in question to gain inspiration. Then, each of them comes up with their own initial thoughts. “We go on to discuss these ideas together and never fail to quickly identify the common ground. It’s a highly efficient way of working,” says Geneviève Bonnard.
Although they also design residential buildings, most of their projects are for schools and medical-social centres. They built the school in Salvan using a concrete that reflects the power, colour and structure of the mountainside. Parts of it are three storeys high, to match the typical height of buildings in the village. Or take the extension to the primary school in Bovernier – “That’s a building that resembles a dam,” says Bonnard. The village lies at the foot of a steep rock face, where the threat of avalanche is ever-present. To counteract this strength and hardness, the exterior elements are made of aluminium and mirror glass which reflect the mountains, clouds and green of the meadows. The primary school in Conthey is situated in a neighbourhood full of shopping centres: functional buildings, lots of car parks, grey in grey. “So we planned a black, quadrilateral construction with an open gallery on the second floor. We thought about it for a long time – whether we actually dared suggest a primary school in black,” Wœffray explains. Only the ceiling of the gallery is a lustrous gold, tempting people to come inside. Black sends a signal, according to Bonnard. “We are deliberately sheltering the school from the shrines to consumerism all around it by creating a kind of cocoon for the schoolkids.” A colourful one, of course. Because inside, the entire colour spectrum has been put to good use. The interior is colourful, learning is colourful, life is colourful – that’s the message that warns against focusing too much on exteriors and defining ourselves by what can be seen on the surface. The school in Conthey, in surroundings that are partly commercial, partly agricultural, constantly leads the two architects back to one of their favourite topics: urbanisation, or town planning.

Scuola a Salvan, architettura
The extension to the school in Salvan fits in with the other multi-storey buildings there.

“What is a commercial district? Is it urban, or is it actually non-urban?” asks Geneviève Bonnard. They are both worried by urban sprawl. “It’s happening all over Switzerland, you know.” They feel we have built on far too much land and are creating a hotchpotch of settlements with no concept or idea behind it. “We’re obstructing the future of the next generation for decades to come,” states Wœffray. But there are also good examples to be found, such as the town of Sion, with its Place du Midi, which has become a real meeting place thanks to new paving that invites people to take a leisurely stroll. Or Martigny, with its Place Central, and Monthey, which have also become places where people come to meet. The pair are convinced that “it all leads to a better quality of life for local residents”. The couple has one great wish: “We would like to build high-rise, a tower, one day. We’re fascinated by the vertical – steep walls of rock are such a feature of Valais that verticality represents both a challenge and an initiation,” says Geneviève Bonnard. And they have one other dream: “The Rhône, this vital artery, should be including in town planning here in Valais.” A first project is underway in Sion. “But we should all join together in inviting the river into our lives and settlements.” They are convinced that bringing nature into the towns is the antidote to urban sprawl. Given their dynamism, they should certainly be able to realise their dreams.

Will Gold Prices Finally Pull Back Or Continue Marching Ahead?

Gold prices are up more than 11% since bottoming last December. Their gains last week took the gold market right up to its 50-week moving average. In 2015, attempted rallies reversed at the 50-week moving average. Could this level once again serve as a barrier to further price advances?

Either way, long-term gold bulls shouldn’t sweat this particular technical level. Major bull markets need to pull back and reconsolidate periodically.

David Einhorn Buys Three New Stocks: These Are The Names And Theses (Q3 Letter)

For Greenlight, one of Wall Street's most established value-focused investment funds, Read More

Gold Prices

Whether that starts happening this week, or later on at higher price levels, a downturn of some magnitude is inevitable.

One indicator that may be pointing toward a pullback sooner rather than later is the negative divergence in gold mining stocks which are often leading indicators for the yellow metal.

Gold pricesDespite gold spot prices rallying along with the broader U.S. equity market last week, the HUI Gold BUGS (Basket of Unhedged Gold Stocks) Index fell by 3.8%. That suggests that some big institutional speculators are turning bearish on gold near term.

If you’re looking to accumulate bullion, a pullback should be welcomed as an opportunity to get in at lower levels. Long-term bulls will not want to see anything as severe as the drawdown that occurred in the second half of 2016, however. They will be looking for any coming correction to bottom out above the $1,125/oz low hit in December.

Higher highs and higher lows characterize a major bull market. The December 2016 low was a higher low than the one from 2015. A higher high will occur when gold prices can move above $1,375. At that point, the public might start taking notice of precious metals markets – which so far this year have been overshadowed by the series of record highs in the U.S. stock market.

President Donald Trump has taken credit for the rally in stocks. His vows to cut taxes and regulations have, no doubt, driven buying by investors.

Over the weekend, Trump sent out this tweet: “Great optimism for future of U.S. business, AND JOBS, with the DOW having an 11th straight record close. Big tax & regulation cuts coming!”

Trump also wants a weaker dollar to help boost U.S. manufacturing. That could put him in conflict with the Janet Yellen Fed if it moves to raise interest rates.

Trump will have the opportunity to appoint multiple new members to the Federal Reserve Board. It’s one of the reasons why top financial and geopolitical analyst Jim Rickards is so bullish on gold.

“If Trump follows through on the logic of the cheaper dollar, he’s going to appoint doves to the Board. The market’s going to get the signal immediately and the price of gold is going to soar,” Rickards said in a recent Money Metals podcast interview. “We’ve got some very short run headwinds, maybe between now and April, but for certainly the second half, even the last three quarters of the year, I’m extremely bullish on gold.”

There will be some bumps along the way. But those who hang on tight for the ride in gold and silver markets stand to be rewarded.

A graduate of the University of Florida, Gleason is a seasoned business leader, investor, political strategist, and grassroots activist. Gleason has frequently appeared on national television networks such as CNN, FoxNews, and CNBC, and his writings have appeared in hundreds of publications such as the Wall Street Journal, Detroit News, Washington Times, and National Review.

Nintendo Switch vs. PS4 Pro vs. Xbox Scorpio: Most Wanted Console [SURVEY]

When you think of a desirable gaming console, which devices come to mind? If you asked a group of teenage gamers their choices would probably be between the PS4 Pro, Xbox Scorpio, and Nintendo Switch. As for which one would come out on top, a recent survey has revealed surprising results. It appears that raw power and graphical performance are not the only deciding factors. Why? Because the Switch came out on top, as the most wanted!

Nintendo Switch Most Desired Console

The survey which was undertaken by Nielsen Games, and called the 360 report questioned over 2000 people, of different ages in the U.S. According to it, the results are as follows:

Gamers Aged 13 And Above
Of those within this first age bracket, 16-percent responded when asked that they preferred the Nintendo Switch. While 15-percent confessed to liking the PS4 Pro the most, and just 13-percent for the Xbox Scorpio.

David Einhorn Buys Three New Stocks: These Are The Names And Theses (Q3 Letter)

Furthermore, as well as gamers, none gamers of the same age range were asked for their opinion, which resulted in the following: Again the Switch comes out on top with 12-percent, with the Playstation 4 Pro in 2nd at 11-percent and the Xbox Scorpio down at 9-percent.

Older Systems Surveyed
The survey also asked the same age range of people which of the older consoles the PS4 and Xbox One. The results showed that among gamers, so those who are aware of the consoles, 21-percent want the PS4, and 17-percent thought desirably about the Xbox One.

As for none gamers, 15-percent want Sony’s device and just 12-percent the one from Microsoft. However, what is interesting about the revealed figures is there’s no mention of the Wii U among gamers or none gamers. Which goes, to show just how much of an uphill struggle Nintendo had trying to push that device.

Platform Awareness

This next set of revealed data is again taken from the 2000 people who were surveyed. Additionally, it focusses on the latest devices, and those to yet be released, in particularly on well known each platform is.

Starting with Sony, it turns out that 77-percent of gamers have heard of the PS4, although only 13-percent are aware of the PS4 Pro’s existence. Moving on to Microsoft’s consoles, 72-percent of gamers know about the Xbox One, whereas only 14-percent know of Xbox Scorpio.

Another fascinating figure has shown that an amusing 9-percent of those asked had not heard of any of these platforms.

Finally, what about none gamers? It turns out that 22-percent have heard of the Nintendo Switch, 21-percent of the PS4 Pro, and only 11-percent of the Xbox Scorpio.

Final Thoughts

While it’s still early days for both the Nintendo Switch and the PS4 Pro with regards to sales figures and marketing campaigns. It comes as no surprise that they both outstrip the Xbox Scorpio in the desirability and interest stakes. Why? Because, they are available to purchase now, whereas Microsoft‘s Scorpio won’t be out until later in the year, probably Christmas. And as such, the full specifications and what developers are onboard is being kept close to Microsoft’s chest.

As for the Switch coming out on top over the Pro, that is a surprise, after all, there’s a severe lack of games for the console hybrid. Whereas Sony’s latest is backward compatible and offers upscaling to create the illusion of 4K gaming. Something which the Switch is not even close to being able to reproduce. The only reason we can think of, for this David meets Goliath like result, is, Nintendo has out-marketed Sony. And as such, has been able to create a much wider awareness of its product than Sony has.

Do I Need to Take DHEA?

There's been a lot of talk about the hormone dehydroepiandrosterone, or DHEA, and how it affects our sexuality, as well as our mental and physical health. Does DHEA provide effective relief for sexual problems, mental health issues, or physical health issues? Or is buying DHEA a waste of your money?

What Is DHEA?

DHEA is a steroid hormone and the precursor of androgens (testosterone) in women. The adrenal glands produce the majority of DHEA present in women while the ovaries contribute a minimal amount of this powerful steroid hormone.

Levels of DHEA naturally decrease as we age. By the time you are 80 years old, the amount of DHEA produced by your body is just five to 10 percent of the amount produced at its highest level during youth and early adulthood.

Many claims have been touted for DHEA. You may have heard that it can:

  • increase your energy level
  • help you to lose weight
  • slow down the aging process
  • boost your immune system
  • reduce your risk of cancer and heart disease
  • improve your memory

However, scientists still do not understand how DHEA works, what its purpose is in the body, and whether DHEA is safe and effective.

Recent Findings

According to a small German study published in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM), researchers found that DHEA improved sexuality and well-being in 24 women diagnosed with adrenal insufficiency.

The double-blind study found that women who took 50 mg of DHEA daily reported significant increases in how often they thought about sex, how interested they were in sexual activity, and their levels of both mental and physical sexual satisfaction.

These women also reported improvement in mental health issues such as obsessive-compulsive traits, depression, anxiety, and other psychological conditions. The most significant improvements were seen four months after treatment began.

Side effects were reported by almost 20 percent of the study participants and included greasy skin, acne, and increased body hair. In addition, one woman reported hair loss. Reducing the amount of DHEA the woman took ended the hair loss.

Another small study of 22 male and female patients diagnosed with major depression, published in the American Journal of Psychiatry, found a 50 percent decrease in depression in nearly half of the participants who took DHEA. The study authors state that larger trials are needed to evaluate the safety of taking DHEA and that the hormone should only be taken under medical supervision.

So Should I Supplement With DHEA?

Some believe that DHEA is useful for hormone replacement therapy during menopause and suggest taking low doses of this supplement. However, considerable controversy remains regarding supplementation with this powerful hormone, and careful research is strongly advised before you begin taking this supplement.

The major problem with studies on DHEA is that most have included only a small number of participants (as noted in the studies above).

A search for "DHEA" on any search engine results in many pages of DHEA supplement vendors. It's important to note before buying any of these products either online or at your local store that DHEA supplementation has not been approved by the FDA for any use, and because DHEA is classified as a dietary supplement, manufacturers of DHEA have no obligation to prove that their products are either safe or effective.

Before trying any OTC supplements, it's always a good idea to discuss it with your health professional first.
