Is medical marijuana recommended during chemotherapy?

Share this:

Dear Nurse Jessica,

My mother is a cannabis patient and she is currently undergoing chemotherapy. She loses her appetite completely after treatment and says that her food tastes “off” when she tries to eat. She also has restless leg syndrome and bad eczema on her hands and arms. Any suggestions?

Working in conjunction with your mother’s doctors and holistic practitioners to support her process is highly recommended. Please note that my suggestions as a nurse are meant to be taken as guidelines derived from my personal experiences with patients and research. Enduring chemotherapy is exasperating, not only for the patient but for the family and friends connected. My heart goes out to your mother and your family during this time of healing.

Appetite loss was designed for Mary Jane in my opinion. Common strains for appetite stimulation that patients gravitate to include White Widow, Jack Herer, Super Lemon Haze, Girl Scout Cookies, Afgan Kush, Northern Light Special and Lemon OG Kush.

Trying a cannabis tincture/oil to stimulate the palate and activate the salivary glands may assist. The concentration of the oil will provide longer cannabis relief as she rests and allows herself to sleep and heal. Using affirmational healing and meditation may also assist with your mother’s discomfort. Louise Hay’s book You Can Heal Your Life is a personal favorite, especially for positive motivation.

Eczema can be treated topically with a thick infused salve or a light lotion. Both are used often by patients I see and seem to clear up dryness and relieve pain. Hydration and water intake are key. Internally, eczema often indicates that digestion is not in a good place. She can find great herbal support here with cannabis and with other readily available plant medicines. Some other common herbs that might be used for digestive issues include:

  • Plantain: which is soothing and can help to heal scars in the lining of the stomach. Great as a calming cup of tea.
  • Lemon balm: A garden plant that’s easy to grow and widely available at nurseries will help to ease tension in the digestive system while acting to calm the nervous system.

The emotional aspect can be dealt with through the use of another kind of herbal remedy called vibrational flower remedies. Check these out. Edward Bach pioneered this work in the 1930s and as a result his products and other flower remedies from other sources are widely available in the marketplace today.

Restless Leg Syndrome can really benefit from baths in cannabis infused salts, edibles and topicals that are applied all over the legs with generosity. There have been a lot of positive results with patients going for hands on bodywork from Cranial Sacral Healers, Reiki Masters and acupuncture from doctors of Chinese medicine. Energetic work is just as important to me as nutrition and rest.

How to wash Cotton Pillows Properly

Posted on September 15, 2017 by Ian Shareiff | 0 comments

Easy and effective steps to consider when washing Cotton Pillows
  1. Before washing make sure you removed any pillowcases your pillow has. All pillow cases must be washed separately. Now that you have removed your covers, put your pillows in the washing machine. It is suggested that you only wash two pillows at a time, so your Cotton Pillows have the proper space to be washed. Ensure that washing machine is large enough to handle pillows. Typically, a 50 pound and above washing machine is recommended. Though a machine allows you to squeeze in pillows, it does not mean that it is adequate size. Machine must be large enough to  allow free flow of water to avoid lumping.
  2. Add your detergent to the washer machine. It is recommended to add about a cup of the detergent of your choice. Small amount of softener helps.
  3. Start your washer run it in hot water and adjusts your settings so that the washer goes through a 2nd
  4. Put your Cotton Pillow in the dryer. Make sure you switch your dryer settings to low
  5. Don’t start your dryer yet! Here is an awesome trick get two tennis balls and put them into two clean socks. These tennis balls will help maintain your pillows’ fluffiness and help decrease drying time.
  6. Check your pillows- make sure they are dried. If not, repeat the process. Though outer layers appear dry, inner layers can be moist.  Hand fluff the pillow and run through another drying cycle.

BBC: "Submariners Punished For Drunken Misconduct"

  1. ..................A complete non-story with a lazy and misleading headline - 42 divided by 3 divided by 13, "do the math" as our American friends would say!
    Last edited: Feb 15, 2013
  2. Seems most people are against the reporting and the way the "facts" are presented looking at the comments. At least some members of the public have a grip on reality.
  3. Hmm ... to quote from "Rowen & Martins Laugh In" (OK showing my age) .... "Very Interesting ... but Stupid"!

    I presume that the correspondant is concerned with the fact that HM Sludgemariners are driving about in their nuclear powered sleek black messengers blitzed out of their heads with their fingers on "The Button"! In which case he really needs to get a life because if thats what he is scared of then it amounts to nothing more than scaremongering! I was under the impression that the Beeb was a bit more circumspect in their reporting but obviously it was a slow news day.

    I wonder if they applied the same rationale to car drivers who get behind the wheel of a car wasted on booze / drugs and end up killing either themselves and/or some other misfortunate. I would hazard a guess that the incidents of pissed up car drivers vastly exceeds the numbers of Jack who get rat arsed onboard! The main difference is that if your oppo gets pissed on board then a) his mess mates look after him and b) he /she is not allowed to put himself or others of the Ships Co in any danger ... whereas you don't hear of many car drivers that get their keys taken off them and put to bed to sleep it off. Me thinks you are more in danger of being mown down at the bus stop by some numbnut who has just come out of a liquid board meeting and jumped straight behind the wheel than a Trident inadvertently falling out of the sky on your head because Jack was pissed on Board and somehow short circuited the system to fire one off!
  4. I think a reporter after a dinner time sesh then sitting behind his typewriter/computer is 100 times more dangerous than any submariner.

    They must remember their own ditty, 'the pen is mightier than the sword'. How many lives have reporters fucked up in the name of a good story.

    Hypocritical *******!
    • Like Like x 2
  5. Towards the end of the report the Hack admits that the stats should be viewed in the context of the operations of each boat.this after he has read a whole lot into them.We all know that if someone is trooped whilst being a member of a ship's company it does not necessarily follow they were on board at the time of the incident.
    I can't be bothered to do the sums but expect if you totted up the members of all the ship's companies and divided them into the incidents over three years the percentage wound not be out of the ordinary compared with any similar number of servicemen elsewhere.
    If only the BBC had been so curious about what was going on on their premises when alcoholic drink was on offer.
  6. Did someone actually identify what constitute 'drunken misconduct'?
    Were these misdomeanors ashore onboard at sea alongside or what?
    I still maintain a submarine should be dry at sea

    No problems' with drunken sailors

    23 Feb 2013

    There is no evidence of excessive drinking among navy submariners when they socialise in Helensburgh, according to a group which monitors trouble in the town's pubs.

    The Pubwatch group made the statement in response to figures showing there were more than 300 disciplinary incidents in the past three years on the Royal Navy's 13 submarines - including 42 cases of misconduct or unfitness through alcohol or drugs.

    The figures were obtained by the BBC in a Freedom of Information request.

    A spokesman for Pubwatch said: "Certain issues arise from time to time, as we have with civilians, but in the main the navy personnel are well behaved. The Navy Police have a presence which acts as a deterrent."

    HM Naval Base Clyde is currently home port for the Royal Navy's four Vanguard Class ballistic submarines which carry Trident nuclear missiles - HMS Vanguard, HMS Victorious, HMS Vengeance and HMS Vigilant - and two of the new conventionally armed Astute Class attack submarines, HMS Astute and Ambush.

    Thirteen instances of misconduct or unfitness due to alcohol or drugs were reported on the four Trident submarines in the past three years. It also details eight drink or drug related incidents on HMS Astute - the submarine on which a junior rating shot dead an officer in April 2011 after binge drinking while on shore leave.

    All eight cases occurred after this shooting. An inquest last month into the death of Lt Cdr Ian Molyneux focused attention on what was described as a culture of excessive drinking among the submarine's personnel.

    The Royal Navy says it has tightened its rules on alcohol consumption before duty.

    A spokesman told the Advertiser: "We take all disciplinary offences seriously.

    "Although alcohol is available on board Royal Navy ships and submarines, its consumption is extremely limited and the RN's promotion of healthy living, coupled with the professionalism of modern sailors, means that fewer sailors drink at sea than ever before.

    "This is particularly true of the submarine service due to the demands of operating the boat and the restrictions of working a continuous six-hour watch routine."

    One source, who asked not to be named, told the Advertiser: "Navy personnel's behaviour in Helensburgh is a lot better now than it used to be.

    "Occasionally, when there is a big exercise on and a lot of international navy people are in town it can get a bit of a concern, but generally now it's OK."

Cross-cultural conflict?

Discussion in 'Current Affairs' started by hobbit, Nov 16, 2007.

Welcome to the Navy Net aka Rum Ration

The UK's largest and busiest UNofficial RN website.

The heart of the site is the forum area, including:

  1. Perhaps another example of mis-understanding because of language and cultural differences. This is likely to continue and worsen as the movement of people increases. Pity the poor police as they have to wear it. The solution FKs.
  2. Zapping with 50KV a bloke suspected of being wired to HE doesn't look to be overly bright; although it could have been very bright!
  3. Too many reasons to go into here, but one of the problems or fall out from this is the total dumbing down of the service (RCMP), they no longer employ the high standards they used to because of the PC human rights stuff, this would be tough training, only those who can handle themselves and others in a dangerous situation need apply has gone by the wayside.

    Four of them showed up, 30yrs ago, two would be enough to grab said individual firmly but solidly and hold him until medical personnel could show up and assess the situation or stick him with a needle to calm him down.

    Or a certified Polish interpreter could be brought to help with the situation, I mean FFS it's not like we don't have any Poles in Canada, well maybe not so many in BC, but hey there must be a few of them around.

    It's the 'Rambo" attitude, instead of analysing the situation calmly and from a distance they went gung ho, it has been said also as a result of improper training and the lowering of standards that the new "force" is made up of light weights (under 200 lbs) and need to rely on the Tasers to handle a situation.

    The force's reasoning is that well it beats being shot at, but hey if the officer is fully trained in the use of a baton and is able to handle a person who may weigh 70lbs more then them, then violent force wouldn't be needed...

    One of the RCMP officers even had his knee across the back of the man's neck, some lawyers and retired senior police officers are already saying this could be used to bring charges of manslaughter against the 4 officers...
  4. Exactly my point with the differences in cultures. The need to bring in an interpreter is where the police of any nationality are legally hand-cuffed whereas before, when dealing with their own kind, each knew almost what the other was thinking. The RCMP and the ' Met ', two of the most well known and respected police forces in the world , ( and admired ) what kid didn't love the ' Mounties ', now seem to be heading, like many other treasured national characteristics, for the PC rubbish bin. I sometimes think foreigners in a culture ' use ' the difference to manipulate the law and invoke ' racism ' for financial gain. Anyway , regardless of anything I feel very sorry for the police of any nation where they have to be interpreters , shrinks , doctors , mind readers and even baby sitters as they try to sort out the mess we are creating. Sad with The 'Mounties' in particular, such an example to the world of squeaky clean law enforcement. Such was life .
  5. The downfall of the "mounties" began when they had their name trademarked, at one time anyone in Canada could sell nik naks or stupid little keepsakes like keychains and dolls all wearing the red serge and the readily recognizable hats, but Disney and the RCMP came to an agreement...Disney!!!! ffs, I was expecting them to start wearing Mickey Mouse ears.

    That and too many Royal Commissions in wrongful deaths over the years and the way the RCMP get to police itself, it's lost all credibility and is seen as the sitting Governments private police force...

    It's so watered down now that the Provinces and Communities hire the mounties to police their respected zones, this way they don't have to hire a professional Police force...

    It's all gone wrong Gunga Din... :rambo:
  6. Contributor Mode

    Just to warn folk and in particular Plod on the use of Taser's I repeat a story previously published on these pages which made me PMSWL.

  7. ROFL...I remember that, obviously didn't read the warning labels eh! (sparks + gas = a real mess) :afro:

Trucker Stabbing Began With CB Argument - NBC Chicago

Trucker Stabbing Began With CB Argument

Lauritzen bled to death through a severed aorta

    Trucker Stabbing Began With CB Argument
    Police are investigating a stabbing.

    An angry CB radio conversation led to a road rage incident that left a 40-year-old trucker dead, police said.

    David Seddon, also a truck driver, was ordered held without bond after prosecutors described the violent incident that unfolded on the shoulder of the Edens Expressway at Tower Road last week.

    "The most common description of this is that it started as an incident of road rage," said Illinois State Police Commander David Nanninga.

    Investigators said the 48-year-old Seddon admitted he engaged in an angry verbal altercation with the victim, Alan Lauritzen, 40, whom he accused of tailgating. When the argument escalated Seddon reportedly challenged Lauritzen to meet him on the shoulder of the road, where the two fought.

    Prosecutors say during that scuffle Seddon produced a folding knife, and stabbed Lauritzen three times.

    The burly Seddon appeared in court in a cut-off black "Daytona" t-shirt emblazoned with an eagle and an American flag.

    Lauritzen's family members sobbed openly in the gallery as a prosecutor described the attack and how the victim bled to death from a severed aorta.

Denton Approves Gas Drilling Moratorium - NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth

Denton Approves Gas Drilling Moratorium

Denton City Council expected to vote on gas drilling moratorium

    The Denton City Council approved a moratorium on Tuesday night that freezes new gas drilling and production permits while the city overhauls its drilling ordinance.

    The moratorium goes into effect immediately and lasts for 120 days. It does not affect companies that have already applied for gas drilling permits.

    Council members such as Dalton Gregory said they wanted to halt new production permits until the new regulations are in place.

    "I expect the new rules are going to be stricter, and there are some drillers are going to want to get in under the old rules. Rather than have a rush to get permits under the old rules, we want to say, 'Let's halt it now,'" Gregory said.

    Future of Gas Drilling in Denton Up for a Vote

    [DFW] Future of Gas Drilling in Denton Up for a Vote
    The Denton City Council will make a decision Tuesday night that could have a huge impact on the future of gas drilling.
    (Published Tuesday, Feb. 7, 2012)

    People opposed to a moratorium said before the vote that the decision would be drastic. It would slow down an industry that pumps money and jobs into the local economy, they say.

    Dalton said the move is necessary for now.

    "I want to see the very best ordinance we can possibly get that provides the highest level of safety to our citizens, while still allowing mineral owners the rights to their property," he said.

The Final Trial of Michael Jackson - NBC 7 San Diego

The Final Trial of Michael Jackson

With the sordid Conrad Murray case entering a second week, how the King of Pop died is threatening to overshadow how he lived.

    Get ready to hear a lot more about the drug that the prosecution contends killed Michael Jackson, through inappropriate use. (Published Tuesday, Oct. 4, 2011)

    Dr. Conrad Murray is on trial in the death of Michael Jackson – but the lasting verdict to emerge from the case could speak louder to how the King of Pop is remembered.

    After four days of often-heartbreaking testimony last week, how Jackson died is threatening to overshadow how he lived.

    The jurors, Jackson's family and fans around the world heard the disturbing tape of his slurred, desperation-filled voice. We saw the picture of Jackson’s corpse on hospital gurney. We read the testimony of how his two elder children witnessed the maddening chaos in the bedroom of Jackson’s rented Los Angeles mansion before he was declared dead on June 25, 2009.

    These sad glimpses into the music legend's death, at odds with happier memories of the most vibrant performer of his generation, bode to loom large in the collective memory. Michael Jackson fans are once again left to grapple with a jarring split between image and reality.

    Before the trial, the primary public record of Jackson's final days came via "This Is It," the posthumous documentary patched together from rehearsals for the concert comeback that was never to be.

    He appears painfully thin in the film, but comes across an artist in control of his craft. During Murray’s trial last week, prosecutors introduced emails from concert director Kenny Ortega, who revealed he had to wrap Jackson in blankets to quell his chills just six days before the storied entertainer’s final breath. "He was like a lost boy,'' Ortega wrote concert promoters.

    There's a danger that Jackson, much like Elvis Presley and Marilyn Monroe, will be remembered by some more for the tabloid-friendly details surrounding his death than for his talent, especially as the march of years puts distance between his prime and the present.

    That would be particularly tragic in the case of Jackson, who spent 44 of his 50 years in the limelight, his pop genius and generosity shining amid behavior that was at best, eccentric, and at worst, by some accounts, unspeakable.

    It’s telling that even during what must have been one of his lowest moments – that rambling May 10, 2009, recording – all Jackson could talk about is how he'll be remembered.

    "When people leave my show, I want them to say ‘I've never seen nothing like this in my life,’'' Jackson said.

    He said wanted to concertgoers to leave London's O2 Arena believing him to be the "greatest entertainer in the world."

    The trial may very well determine whether he’ll have the final word.

Regulating the 26S proteasome.

Author information

Department of Biology, The Technion, Israel Institute of Technology, 32000 Haifa, Israel.

Despite the fact that the composition of proteasomes purified from different species is almost identical, and the basic components of the proteasome are remarkably conserved among all eukaryotes, there are quite a few additional proteins that show up in certain purifications or in certain screens. There is increasing evidence that the proteasome is in fact a dynamic structure forming multiple interactions with transiently associated subunits and cellular factors that are necessary for functions such as cellular localization, presentation of substrates, substrate-specific interactions, or generation of varied products. Harnessing the eukaryotic proteasome to its defined regulatory roles has been achieved by a number of means: (a) increasing the complexity of the proteasome by gene duplication, and differentiation of members within each gene family (namely the CP and RPT subunits); (b) addition of regulatory particles, complexes, and factors that influence both what enters and what exits the proteasome; and (c) signal-dependent alterations in subunit composition (for example, the CP beta to beta i exchange). It is not be surprising that the proteasome plays diverse roles, and that its specific functions can be fine-tuned depending on biological context or need.

History of Infant Feeding (from Tar Heel Junior Historian)

Average: 3.8 (6 votes)

Sweet and Clean:
A Glance at the History of Infant Feeding

By Dr. Ruth M. W. Moskop and Melissa M. Nasea
Reprinted with permission from the Tar Heel Junior Historian, Spring 2007.
Tar Heel Junior Historian Association, NC Museum of History

International symbol for breastfeedingUntil the 1900s, an infant’s health and survival depended largely on having its mother’s milk to drink. Doctors still recommend mother’s milk as the best food for babies. Modern, scientifically produced formulas in clean bottles, however, now offer another safe choice for babies in North Carolina and elsewhere.

Few records exist about infant feeding during the Middle Ages, but we know that between 1500 and the late 1700s it was not fashionable for wealthier women in the West to nurse their babies. This trend continued into the 1800s, in spite of expert advice that infants should drink mother’s milk, if possible. Often, families hired another woman, called a wet nurse, to feed the baby. Many babies in North Carolina were brought up “by the hand,” which means they were fed artificially—with animal milk—or given pap. Pap was a very unwholesome, thin mixture of bread and liquid boiled to a pulpy texture. Cleaning infant cups and pap feeders was almost impossible. They exposed hand-fed babies to harmful bacteria, and the food lacked important nutrients.

Around 1800, things began changing. People recognized that glass was a better material for baby bottles. Because glass is clear, it can be cleaned more easily. Still, many more artificially fed babies died young, compared to naturally fed babies. Medical writers insisted that human milk was best for babies.

During the second half of the 1800s, doctors realized two important things about feeding infants. First, human milk stays almost germ-free as it passes from mother to child. Prepared formula—especially from animal milk—in a bottle, cup, or spoon can be contaminated. Second, cow’s milk is very different from human milk. It is less sweet and lacks nutrients. Human infants have a hard time digesting it. The first fact made physicians encourage the use of glass feeding bottles designed for easy sterilization. The second fact made chemists join doctors in trying to modify cows’ milk to make it more like human milk.

By 1918, drugstores sold a variety of prepared infant foods. Although mother’s milk was best for most babies, the sale of artificial foods like Mellin’s and Horlick’s increased. Clever advertisements showed enchanting pictures of healthy babies and suggested that mother’s milk might not be enough. Doctors offered complicated instructions for homemade artificial feeding formulas well into the 1900s.

19th-Century glass baby bottleBetter choices finally came. Similac, first sold as a powder in 1923, and Enfamil, introduced in 1959, are artificial infant foods we still use today. When these formulas are mixed at home with clean water and bottles, artificially fed babies usually grow up just fine. Although it has taken hundreds of years, at least in the United States and in other developed countries, babies now have food that is sweet and clean. Mother’s milk is still recommended, but artificial infant feeding has come a very long way, indeed!

Moskop served as the assistant director, history programs, at East Carolina University’s Laupus Health Sciences Library, as well as the director of the Country Doctor Museum. Melissa M.

In the nineteenth century, infants were commonly breast-fed; by the middle of the twentieth century, women typically bottle-fed their babies on the advice of their doctors. In this book, Rima D. Apple discloses and analyzes the complex interactions of science, medicine, economics, and culture that underlie this dramatic shift in infant-care practices and women’s lives.
As infant feeding became the keystone of the emerging specialty of pediatrics in the twentieth century, the manufacture of infant food became a lucrative industry. More and more mothers reported difficulty in nursing their babies. While physicians were establishing themselves and the scientific .

Do these nurses in the 1800s breastfeed these babies? If so, I learnt that when a woman is pregnant then the body starts producing milk for the baby in this case how can an old woman past the age of reproduction produce milk for a baby?

Women can lactate without pregnancy! I'm an adoptive mother, who breastfed. I had to supplement with formula, but produced a significant amount of milk, just by having the baby suckle a lot. These days, adoptive mothers usually use a good breast pump and the medication, domperidone, which increases the amount of milk they produce, but the vast majority of moms will produce a significant amount, from suckling a baby, alone. This has been done throughout history. Post-menopausal women can do it, too. Ovaries are not even required. The main hormone responsible for lactation, prolactin, comes from the pituitary gland.

Hi Joy,

Here is a history of infant feeding from the Journal of Perintal Education (2009) that might help answer your questions.

You may also want to consult your local library for additional resources.

Best wishes,

2-Coin Silver Vatican Set: Hard-to-find and Approved by the Pope himself!

Commemorate the World Day of Peace & World Youth Day with limited 2-coin Set

Plus, enjoy MCM’s exclusive Vatican City label!

ModernCoinMart (MCM) is proud to carry very limited inventory of the Vatican City Proof 2-Coin Silver sets that commemorate two meaningful events, the ”World Day of Peace” and ”World Youth Day.” Each set has been appropriately paired with their exclusive Vatican City label that features St. Peter’s Square.

Set of 2 – 2016 Vatican Silver Proofs NGC PF69 UC Early Releases (Exclusive Vatican City Label)

Crafted at the Italian State Mint, Vatican City coins are difficult to source and have very restricted mintages making them much more desirable to collectors.

Each coin’s design was approved by the Pope and celebrates the world’s youth in tandem with the human race’s hope for a more peaceful tomorrow.

The World Day of Peace is a day celebrated by the Roman Catholic Church and is dedicated to worldwide peace. It is known for being the day on which the Pope declares magisterial social doctrines concerning the United Nations, human rights, international diplomacy, and many other topics. It was established by Pope Paul VI in 1968, and it always falls on January 1st.

World Youth Day is a large-scale international event organized by the Catholic Church every 2-3 years that focuses on Jesus Christ. It occurs at different locations around the world, but is also celebrated in a smaller scale at diocese every year. This event was started by Pope Paul II in 1985.

Don’t miss your limited opportunity to add this 2-coin set straight from the Vatican to your collection!

Zimbabwe’s desperate protest not worth the candle

The disturbingly intense ambition of Zimbabwe’s Football Association (ZIFA) to claw its way through the backdoor and into Africa’s second tier tourney, the CHAN Cup, is nothing but a case of sour grapes and can be aptly described as a trait of bad losers.

Needless to point out, it’s by now a well-documented secret that our domestic football league has been idling throughout the entire 2016/2017 term.

And for a country that is ranked way above us on the highly disputed FIFA World rankings to be eliminated by a team made up of a bunch of inactive amateurs was a massive blow, indeed a source of shame and irreparable embarrassment for the troubled Zimbos.

Generally speaking, football matches are won on the field of play with the team scoring the most number of goals declared the winner.

But the devil is in the detail here, let’s assume if Riaan Hanamub – whom the clearly confused Zimbabweans are mistakenly r4eferiing to as “Dynamo Fredericks” – missed the target from the contested spot kick – were our esteemed neighbours going to complain bitterly about the shoddy manner in which the penalty was taken? I’m just wondering.

Sentiments and loyalties put aside, with all due respect, yours truly remains adamant the penalty should have been disallowed, as Hanamub feinted his run before dispatching the spot kick.

The opposition was within their right to feel short-changed, but sadly referees’ decisions are final and cannot be reversed upon completion of the match. This is according to the rules and laws governing the beautiful game of football. Period.

In what can be interpreted – and correctly so – as the last kick of a dying horse, the red-faced ZIFA officials still had the audacity to claim that some of the Brave Warriors playing personnel were improperly registered, nogal.

My dear readers, do I need to remind you that Zimbabwe’s moaning is a display of an unpleasant flagrant disrespect and a self-entitled superiority complex towards their conquerors and of course, a total disregard for the rules of the beautiful game.

My humble advice to the ostensibly aggrieved Zimbos is this: take it on the chin like men, given that you had 180-minutes at your disposal to fashion a better result – which you could not. So, man up and accept the outcome of the match.

How many friends are you going to win by unashamedly persisting with your baseless protest if CAF were to nullify the result and order a replay? I’m just asking.

Such a reversal would certainly be the first of its kind in global football, something I seriously doubt will ever happen.

Zimbabwe’s action can be linked to result manipulation, obviously under the misplaced belief that it can easily bulldoze its way through standard procedures via the influence of ZIFA president Phillip Chiyangwa, who is also COSAFA president.

Football matches are won solely on the field of play, certainly not in boardrooms nor via green table decisions – unless some blokes have made it their sole beat to make a mockery of the beautiful game. I rest my case.

contains the active ingredient pindolol

What is in this leaflet

This leaflet answers some common questions about Barbloc.
It does not contain all of the available information. It does not take the place of talking to your doctor or pharmacist.
All medicines have benefits and risks. Your doctor has weighed the risks of you taking Barbloc against the benefits they expect it will have for you.
If you have any concerns about taking this medicine, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
Keep this leaflet with your medicine. You may need to read it again.

What Barbloc is used for

Barbloc is used to:
lower high blood pressure, also called hypertension
prevent angina
treat irregular heart beat (arrhythmia).
Everyone has blood pressure. This pressure helps get your blood all around your body. Your blood pressure may be different at different times of the day, depending on how busy or worried you are. You have hypertension (high blood pressure) when your blood pressure stays higher than is needed, even when you are calm and relaxed.
There are usually no symptoms of hypertension. The only way of knowing that you have hypertension is to have your blood pressure checked on a regular basis. You may feel fine and have no symptoms, but eventually hypertension can cause stroke, heart disease and kidney failure.
Angina is a pain or uncomfortable feeling in the chest, often spreading to the arms or neck and sometimes to the shoulders and back. This may be caused by too little blood and oxygen getting to the heart. The pain of angina is usually brought on by exercise or stress but it can also happen while you are resting. Barbloc helps to prevent angina from happening. It is not used to treat an attack of angina once it starts.
Irregular heart beat
Irregular heartbeat, also known as arrhythmia, means that there is a disturbance of the normal rhythm or beat of the heart. Arrhythmias may be caused by a number of factors, including some heart diseases, an overactive thyroid gland, or chemical imbalances. Barbloc helps to restore the normal rhythm of the heart.
Barbloc belongs to a group of medicines called beta-blockers. It works by affecting the body's response to certain nerve impulses, especially in the heart. As a result, it decreases the heart's need for blood and oxygen and reduces the amount of work that the heart has to do. It also widens the blood vessels in the rest of the body, causing blood pressure to fall. Barbloc also helps the heart to beat more regularly.
Barbloc can be used alone or in combination with other medicines to treat your condition.
Your doctor may have prescribed Barbloc for another reason. Ask your doctor if you have any questions about why Barbloc has been prescribed for you.
Barbloc is not recommended for use in children, as there is not enough information on its effects in children.
Barbloc is available only with a doctor's prescription.
There is no evidence that Barbloc is addictive.

Before you take Barbloc

When you must not take it

Do not take Barbloc if you have an allergy to:

a history of bronchial asthma, wheezing or difficulty breathing, chronic cough or other severe lung problems
a history of allergic problems, including hayfever
irregular or a very slow heartbeat, less than 45 to 50 beats per minute
an alteration in the structure and function of the right ventricle of the heart caused by a primary disorder of respiratory system (called "Cor pulmonale")
sudden loss of consciousness in the past
chest pain, mainly occurring when at rest
severe heart disease or certain other heart conditions
severe blood flow disturbances of your blood vessels causing paleness or poor circulation in the arms and legs
too much acid in your blood (metabolic acidosis).
Do not take this medicine after the expiry date printed on the pack or if the packaging is torn or shows signs of tampering.

If you are not sure whether you should start taking this medicine, talk to your doctor.

Before you start to take it

Tell your doctor if you have allergies to bee or wasp stings, or to any other medicines, foods, preservatives or dyes.
Your doctor will want to know if you are prone to allergies. Beta-blocker medicines can make an allergic reaction worse.
Tell your doctor if you have or have had any of the following health problems/medical conditions:
diabetes mellitus (sugar diabetes)
an overactive thyroid gland
severe kidney problems
certain types of angina such as Prinzmetal angina (also known as variant angina)
milder forms of circulatory disturbances of blood vessels (conditions marked e.g. by paleness, cold hands or feet)
phaeochromocytoma (a rare tumour of the adrenal gland) which is not being treated already with other medicines
psoriasis (a skin disease characterised by thickened patches of red skin, often with silvery scales)
shock or severely low blood pressure.
Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant.
Barbloc may affect your baby, especially if you take it in the last stages of pregnancy. Your doctor will discuss the risks and benefits of taking Barbloc during pregnancy.
Tell your doctor if you are breastfeeding or wish to breastfeed.
Very small amount of Barbloc passes into breast milk and could affect your baby.
If you have not told your doctor about any of the above, tell them before you start taking Barbloc.

Taking other medicines

Tell your doctor if you are taking any other medicines, including any that you get without a prescription from a pharmacy, supermarket or health food shop.
Some medicines may be affected by Barbloc, or may affect how well it works. These include:
other beta-blocker medicines including eye drops
other medicines used to treat high blood pressure such as calcium channel blockers or calcium antagonists
clonidine, a medicine used to treat high blood pressure
disopyramide, quinidine, and other medicines used to treat irregular heart beat (arrhythmias)
insulin, and oral medicines to treat diabetes
medicines used to treat high blood pressure, chest pain (angina pectoris), disturbances of heart rhythm
digoxin, a medicine used to treat heart failure
digitalis glycosides
medicines commonly used during surgery or in emergency situations, such as dopamine, noradrenaline, and certain anaesthetics
medicines containing adrenaline or similar substances that raise blood pressure, such as those found in some nose and eye drops, cough medicines, or remedies for the common cold
non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (known as NSAIDs), which are medicines used to relieve pain or inflammation or to treat arthritis
ergot alkaloids, a class of medicines used in the prevention and treatment of migraine headaches
monoamine oxidase inhibitors, a class of medicines used to treat depression
cimetidine, a medicine used to relieve heartburn and
gastrointestinal ulcers
Your doctor can tell you what to do if you are taking any of these medicines.
If you are not sure whether you are taking any of these medicines, check with your doctor or pharmacist.
Your doctor and pharmacist have more information on medicines to be careful with or avoid while taking Barbloc.

How to take Barbloc

Follow all directions given to you by your doctor and pharmacist carefully.
They may differ from the information contained in this leaflet.
If you do not understand the instructions on the bottle, ask your doctor or pharmacist for help.

How much to take

Your doctor will tell you how many tablets you need to take each day and when to take them. This depends on your condition, on how you respond to this medicine and whether or not you are taking any other medicines.
The dose of this medicine will be different for different patients. Also, the number of doses you take each day and the time allowed between doses depend on the condition for which you are taking Barbloc.
Treatment is usually started with the lowest dose. Depending on how you respond to the treatment, your doctor may suggest a higher or lower dose.
For high blood pressure, the usual dose is 15 mg per day but can range from 10 mg to 30 mg per day. Doses above 15 mg should be divided into two or three smaller doses.
For angina, the usual dose is from 7.5 mg to 20 mg each day, divided into three doses.
For irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia), the usual dose is from 10 mg to 30 mg each day, divided into three doses.
Patients with kidney problems may need smaller doses.
Follow all directions given to you by your doctor and pharmacist carefully.

How to take it

Swallow the tablets with a glass of water.
Barbloc tablets can be broken in half if your doctor has prescribed half a tablet.

When to take it

Take Barbloc at about the same time each day.

How long to take it for

Do not stop taking this medicine without first checking with your doctor.
Your doctor may want to gradually reduce the amount of medicine you are taking before stopping it completely. This helps to reduce the chance of your condition becoming worse and to prevent other unwanted effects on your heart.
Continue taking Barbloc as your doctor tells you.
Your doctor will check your progress to make sure the medicine is working and will discuss with you how long your treatment should continue.

If you forget to take it

If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the dose you missed and take your next dose when you are meant to.
Otherwise, take the missed dose as soon as you remember, and then go back to taking your tablets as you would normally.
Do not take a double dose to make up for the dose you missed.
This may increase the chance of you getting an unwanted side effect.
If you are not sure what to do, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
If you have trouble remembering to take your medicine, ask your pharmacist for some hints.

If you take too much Barbloc (overdose)

Immediately telephone your doctor, or the Poisons Information Centre (telephone 13 11 26), or go to Accident and Emergency at the nearest hospital, if you think you or anyone else may have taken too much Barbloc. Do this even if there are no signs of discomfort or poisoning.
You may need urgent medical attention.
If you take too much Barbloc, you may feel dizzy, sick (nausea), vomit, have a slow heart beat and even collapse.

While you are taking Barbloc

Things you must do

Before starting any new medicine, tell your doctor or pharmacist that you are taking Barbloc.
Tell all the doctors, dentists and pharmacists who are treating you that you are taking Barbloc.
If you become pregnant while taking Barbloc, tell your doctor.
If you have an allergic reaction to a food, another medicine or an insect sting while you are taking Barbloc, tell your doctor immediately.
If you have a history of allergies, there is a chance that Barbloc may make allergic reactions worse or harder to treat.
If you are being treated for diabetes, make sure you check your blood sugar regularly and report any problems to your doctor.
Barbloc may change how well your diabetes is controlled. It may also prevent some of the warning signs of low blood sugar, such as fast heart beat, and may make low blood sugar last longer. The dose of your diabetes medicines may need to be changed.
If you plan to have surgery, including dental surgery, and will need an anaesthetic, tell your doctor or dentist that you are taking Barbloc.
This will help your doctor to prevent unwanted side effects such as a sudden drop in blood pressure.
If this medicine makes you feel light-headed, dizzy or faint, be careful when getting up from a sitting or lying position.
These symptoms may be due to a sudden fall in your blood pressure.
If this problem does not go away, talk to your doctor.
To avoid symptoms of low blood pressure, here are some hints that may help:
stand up slowly to help your body get used to the change in position and blood pressure
if you feel dizzy, sit or lie down until you feel better
if you feel faint, breathe deeply and bend forward with your head between your knees
take extra care when exercising, driving or standing for long periods, especially in hot weather. Drink plenty of fluids, especially if you sweat a lot.
Visit your doctor regularly so they can check on your progress.

Things you must not do

Do not stop taking Barbloc, or change the dose, without checking with your doctor.
Stopping Barbloc suddenly may worsen your angina or irregular heartbeat, or cause other heart problems. Your doctor may want you to gradually reduce the amount of Barbloc you are taking before stopping completely.
Do not let yourself run out of Barbloc over the weekend or on holidays.
Do not use this medicine to treat any other conditions unless your doctor tells you to.
Do not give this medicine to anyone else, even if they have the same condition as you.

Things to be careful of

Be careful driving or operating machinery until you know how Barbloc affects you.
Barbloc may cause drowsiness, dizziness or lightheadedness in some people. If any of these occur, do not drive, operate machinery or do anything else that could be dangerous.
Be careful getting up from a sitting or lying position.
Dizziness, lightheadedness or fainting may occur, especially when you get up quickly. Getting up slowly may help.
Make sure you drink enough water in hot weather and during exercise when you are taking Barbloc, especially if you sweat a lot.
If you do not drink enough water while taking Barbloc, you may feel faint or lightheaded or sick. This is because your blood pressure is dropping suddenly. If you continue to feel unwell, tell your doctor.
Be careful to dress warmly during cold weather, especially if you will be outside for a long time.
Like other beta-blocker medicines, Barbloc may make you more sensitive to cold temperatures, especially if you have problems with your blood circulation. These medicines tend to decrease blood circulation in the skin, fingers and toes.
Talk to your doctor if you experience eye problems (dry, gritty, or burning eyes),
Barbloc can be used by older people at the same dose as for younger people. Older people may experience more side effects than young people, and so might be monitored closely by their doctor.

Lifestyle measures that help reduce heart disease risk

By following these simple measures, you can further reduce the risk from heart disease.
Quit smoking and avoid second-hand smoke.
Limit alcohol intake.
Enjoy healthy eating by:
eating plenty of vegetables and fruit;
reducing your saturated fat intake (eat less fatty meats, full fat dairy products, butter, coconut and palm oils, most take-away foods, commercially-baked products).
Be active. Progress, over time, to at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity on 5 or more days each week. Can be accumulated in shorter bouts of 10 minutes duration. If you have been prescribed anti-angina medicine, carry it with you when being physically active.
Maintain a healthy weight.
Discuss your lifestyle and lifestyle plans with your doctor.
For more information and tools to improve your heart health, call Heartline, the Heart Foundation's national telephone information service, on 1300 36 27 87 (local call cost).
Know warning signs of heart attack and what to do:
Tightness, fullness, pressure, squeezing, heaviness or pain in your chest, neck, jaw, throat, shoulders, arms or back.
You may also have difficulty breathing, or have a cold sweat or feel dizzy or light headed or feel like vomiting (or actually vomit).
If you have heart attack warning signs that are severe, get worse or last for 10 minutes even if they are mild, call triple zero (000). Every minute counts.

Side effects

Tell your doctor or pharmacist as soon as possible if you do not feel well while you are taking Barbloc.
Like all other medicines, Barbloc may have unwanted side effects in some people. Sometimes they are serious, most of the time they are not. You may need medical treatment if you get some of the side effects.
If you are over 65 years of age, you may have an increased chance of getting side effects.
Do not be alarmed by this list of possible side effects.
You may not experience any of them.
Ask your doctor or pharmacist to answer any questions you may have.
Tell your doctor if you notice any of the following and they worry you:
tiredness, drowsiness, decreased alertness
dizziness or light-headedness (sometimes with fainting), especially on standing up
shakiness or trembling
headache or other aches and pains
disturbed sleep, vivid dreams
feeling depressed
stomach upset (mainly nausea or feeling sick) or vomiting
diarrhoea or abdominal discomfort
runny, itchy, red, dry or irritated eyes
excess sweating
sleep disturbances
muscle cramps
Tell your doctor as soon as possible if you notice any of the following:
skin reactions (rash, itching, hives, flaking of skin, worsening of psoriasis)
abnormal thinking, or hallucinations (seeing or hearing things that are not there)
If any of the following happen, tell your doctor immediately or go to Accident and Emergency at your nearest hospital:
serious signs of allergy such as swelling of the face, lips or tongue which may cause problems with swallowing or breathing
coldness, burning, tingling or numbness in arms and legs
changes in heart rate, such as abnormally slow heart beat (called bradycardia), irregular heart beat or palpitations
disturbed heart rhythm (called cardiac conduction disorder)
weakness, hunger, trembling, flushing or paleness
convulsions, fits or seizures
chest tightness, wheezing, rattly breathing
sudden, oppressive chest pain
shortness of breath, sometimes with tiredness, weakness and reduced ability to exercise, swelling of the feet or legs due to fluid build up
difficulty breathing with coughing or wheezing.
Tell your doctor if you notice anything that is making you feel unwell.
Other side effects not listed above may also occur in some patients.

After taking Barbloc

Keep your tablets in the bottle until it is time to take them.
If you take the tablets out of the bottle they may not keep well.
Keep your tablets in a cool dry place where the temperature stays below 30°C.
Do not store Barbloc or any other medicine in the bathroom or near a sink. Do not leave it on a window sill or in the car.
Heat and dampness can destroy some medicines.
Keep it where children cannot reach it.
A locked cupboard at least one-and-a-half metres above the ground is a good place to store medicines.

If your doctor tells you to stop taking this medicine or the expiry date has passed, ask your pharmacist what to do with any medicine that is left over.

African Greys: halt imports, urges parrot trust

2011-01-19 00:00

THE director of World Parrot Trust Africa, Dr Steve Boyes, has alleged that about 500 more African Grey parrots are being held at the Kempton Park quarantine station in Johannesburg and are due to arrive in Durban on an SAA flight tomorrow.

Last week The Witness reported that 769 parrots of the same species died on a 1Time flight from O.R. Tambo International to King Shaka on Christmas Eve.

They were imported from the Democratic Republic of Congo by parrot trader Ben Moodie. The national quarantine station under the Department of Agriculture is yet to release autopsy results.

Boyes has called on SAA to reject the shipment and on the government to halt any further imports of the African Greys into South Africa.

“SA has become a hub for the trade in wild-caught parrots and monkeys from around the world, especially the DRC and other poor African countries that are easily taken advantage of. The exporters and traders have no consideration for the welfare of these parrots. It is shocking that 500 more parrots are being imported by the same people and flown to Durban to join the 730 African Grey carcasses,” said Boyes in a statement.

SAA’s head of corporate services, Fani Zulu, denied the airline will be transporting parrots.

The Witness has learnt that the Kempton Park quarantine station is closed.

Moodie denied knowledge of the 500 parrots. He said he is still waiting for a quarantine report from Congo to give him a date top arrange for blood tests before he imports the birds into South Africa.

He said, “Breeding parrots is time-consuming and breeders spend time caring for the birds. After hand feeding and teaching them a few things, you are looking at about R3 000 to R4 000 per bird — and there’s nothing wrong with breeding the birds.”

Strikers wait for feedback

2012-08-30 00:00

MARIKANA — About 2 000 striking mineworkers waited until late yesterday outside the Nkaneng informal settlement for feedback on the court cases against their comrades arrested during the shooting at Lonmin’s Marikana shaft.

A group of about 50 men carrying umbrellas and sticks danced while singing that “Juju Malema” had protected them against the police. The crowd dispersed at about 5.30 pm.

Just before they dispersed, one of the strikers leapt up suddenly and danced among the crowd holding an animal skull similar to the one placed on the chest of a murdered mineworker’s body on August 14.

Meanwhile, representatives of the Lonmin mining group and mineworkers’ unions NUM and Amcu, Solidarity and Uasa trade unions met at the Rustenburg civic centre, but were asked at about 5 pm to leave the “peace talks”.

That was apparently so that the South African Council of Churches (SACC) could discuss matters with the mineworkers in private. It was not immediately clear what these discussions would entail.

Meanwhile, the peace talks, called earlier by Labour Minister Mildred Oliphant, seemed set to continue for several days. Representatives of the parties are expected to hold a press conference tomorrow about their progress.

Oliphant did not attend yesterday’s proceedings. Minister in the Presidency Collins Chabane, the convener of the inter-ministerial committee on the Lonmin issue, and Mark Munroe, the mine’s executive vice-president, as well as representatives of all four trade unions, took part in the discussions.

Lonmin said yesterday that attendance figures at their mines had dropped to 7,7%. The mining group ascribed this to intimidation of workers and the fact that many workers were presumably waiting for the outcome of the peace talks.

The striking workers emphasised again yesterday afternoon that they would not return to work before their demand for a monthly wage of R12 500 was met. They also threatened to march on the Lonmin mine office on Monday if the mine had not heeded their demand by then.

• Fifteen of the 34 mineworkers shot dead by police two weeks ago will be buried in Lesotho and the Eastern Cape this weekend.

The Mets offered star third baseman David Wright a contract extension of at least seven years, sources said Tuesday.

Based on the market, the value of the proposal is believed to be worth somewhere in the range of $130 million.

The proposed extension would keep Wright under team control through 2020. It would be added to the $16 million he's due in 2013, the final year of his original contract.

But Wright Tuesday night disputed news reports in a statement to the website Major League Baseball Trade Rumors.

"I have said from Day 1 that I want to play my entire career with the New York Mets,'' Wright said. "I remain hopeful that goal can be achieved. However, I am disappointed by the reports that I have read today which are inaccurate.''

Throughout the process, both sides have revealed little about the nature of the talks, which have progressed more slowly than the Mets had hoped at the beginning of the offseason. But speculation about the negotiations swirled after reports emerged early Tuesday that the Mets offered Wright a six-year, $100 million deal.

"We don't anticipate a deal any time soon,'' Wright's agent, Seth Levinson, told MLBTR. "However, things can always change. I will not characterize the negotiations or comment on the accuracy or inaccuracy of what is being reported.''

The Mets made re-signing their homegrown star their top offseason priority. But without an extension, the Mets would surely lose their most popular player, either by trading him or allowing him to walk after 2013.

"Imagine the Atlanta Braves without Chipper Jones,'' said teammate R.A. Dickey, who is also in the middle of contract talks. "You just can't. I think they're going to reach an agreement.''

If there is no agreement, chief operating officer Jeff Wilpon has said he would prefer to have Wright play out his final season rather than trade him. But although the Mets have floated Dickey's name in early trade talks, they have yet to do the same with Wright. General manager Sandy Alderson said earlier this month that he hoped for more clarity on the situation as the winter meetings approached.

The Mets reportedly sent Wright a six-year, $100 million offer. Ryan Zimmerman of the Nationals signed a similar deal, as did the Rays' Evan Longoria, who agreed to his contract extension Monday. But sources said the most recent offer presented to Wright exceeded $100 million, making it more valuable than the contracts signed by Zimmerman and Longoria, each valued at $16.6 million per year.

Earlier in the offseason, a rival general manager expected that Wright could be in line to make as much as $20 million annually -- or nearly $140 million over the life of a seven-year extension. The executive based his estimates on another roughly comparable player, former Mets shortstop Jose Reyes.

"He's the same age as Reyes and he was also a teammate of his in New York,'' the rival GM said. "So I would imagine that his position will be that he should be compensated very similar to him in dollars and years.''

Reyes signed a six-year, $106 million deal worth $17.6 million annually to leave the Mets for the Marlins last winter. A similar deal for Wright over seven years would be worth a little more than $123 million. But even a slight raise over Reyes' deal would put Wright in line for an extension of about $130 million.

Behind a strong first half, Wright is coming off perhaps his most productive season since 2008, hitting .306 with 21 homers and 93 RBIs.

An Assembly member or officer shall not be served with a civil or criminal process from court on their way to attend or returning from assembly sessions, provisions in the new Local Government Act, 2016, (Act 936) indicates.

However, certain conditions are also attached to this, and other immunities in the Act, says Mr Johnathan Azasoo, a Director at the National Development Planning Commission (NDPC).

He charged the assembly members to study and acquaint themselves with the Act, to be able to contribute meaningfully to decision making at their various Assemblies.

Mr Azasoo was speaking at a day’s workshop on the new Local Governance Act for assembly members in the Brong-Ahafo Region in Sunyani.

It was jointly organised by the Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development and the Institute of Local Government Studies, with support from the Inter-Ministerial Coordinating Committee on Decentralisation.

Mr Azasoo expressed dismay about the bad attitude of some assembly members, who misbehaved and often obstructed assembly sessions.

“Some of these assembly members do this under the influence of alcohol, and with the new Act, such people would be found wanting” he said.

“An act may be deemed contemptuous if an assembly member obstructs assembly meetings, and that, offenders couls either be fined or jailed ” Mr Azasoo quoted from the Act.

He explained that the Act also protected the interest of assembly members when they were assigned by the Assembly to perform specific duties.

Mr Azasoo said, with these privileges, assembly members were expected to perform their duties effectively and efficiently to improve on the decentralization process.

He urged them to endeavour to meet regularly with their constituents to identify together, the immediate needs of the communities.

Mr Evans Bobie, the Deputy Brong-Ahafo Regional Minister told the assembly members that, it was their responsibility to explain government’s policies and programmes to the understanding of the local people.

He spoke against partisan politics which had bedeviled many of the assemblies in the region, and urged the assembly members to bury their political differences and forge ahead in unity for development.

Mr Bobie, who is the Member of Parliament for Asunafo North, commended the organisers for the workshop, which he said, would deepen the understanding of the participants of the Act and enabled them to function effectively.

Finding the City of Z

This is an incredibly important and astonishing discovery. It further shows that Percy Harrison Fawcett, who I wrote about in The New Yorker and in my book “The Lost City of Z,” was right about his belief that the Amazon contained a highly complex ancient civilization. And, more important, the discovery contributes to a revolution in our understanding of what the Amazon and the Americas looked like before the arrival of Christopher Columbus.

I’ll have more about this tomorrow.

  • David Grann has been a staff writer at The New Yorker since 2003. He is the author of “The Lost City of Z: A Tale of Deadly Obsession in the Amazon,” as well as the forthcoming “Killers of the Flower Moon.”

About this book

Conservation of Tropical Birds has been written by four conservation biologists whose expertise spans all the tropical regions of the world. It is the first book to cover all the major issues in tropical bird conservation. Current problems faced by tropical bird conservationists are summarised and potential solutions outlined based on the results of case studies.

Birds are key indicators of ecosystem health, and such a well-studied group of organisms, that they provide an excellent lens through which to examine global conservation problems caused by phenomena such as climate change, declines in ecosystem services, habitat loss, fires, overexploitation, and invasive species. Therefore, the book also provides an engaging synopsis of the general issues in conservation and the problems faced by other wildlife. This book will serve as an important resource and companion to all people interested in observing and conserving birds in the tropics and elsewhere.

Ryan Ellis scores OT winner as Spitfires rally to top Knights 4-3 @NHL

WINDSOR, Ont. - Ryan Ellis scored twice including the power-play winner in overtime as the Windsor Spitfires came from behind to beat the London Knights 4-3 Wednesday and take a 1-0 lead in their OHL Western Conference final series.

After a scoreless first period, the Knights' Nazem Kadri opened the scoring on a short-handed effort after being sent in on a breakaway and depositing a backhander behind Windsor netminder Andre Engelage.

Scott Timmins replied for the Spitfires on the same power play when he rifled a slapshot from the right face-off dot past Trevor Cann of the Knights.

Justin Taylor and John Carlson also scored for the visitors to put London up 3-1 after 40 minutes.

Ellis and Andrei Loktionov both scored on a two-man advantage for the Spitfires to tie the game at 3-3 midway through the third period and set the stage for Ellis' heroics.

Ellis, the game's first star, said he hoped the Spitfires would benefit from the adversity of having to overcome the two-goal deficit heading into the third period.

"I thought we didn't show up for the first 40 minutes or the first half of the third period," he said. "We really left Engelage out to dry on all of London's goals because they were all scored as a result of breakdowns by our team."

The manner in which the Spitfires won the game speaks volume about the character of the team, Ellis added.

"Although we were not playing well for most of the game, no one panicked and thought that things were out of reach. Coming from behind against a great team like London in such an important game says a lot about the makeup of our team."

Cann made 30 saves in taking the loss while Engelage made 31 stops at the other end.

Game two of the series is Friday night in London, Ont.
