Somewhere in between these two extremes are dozens of cat rescuers who spent all day yesterday trapping dozens of cats for today’s free-for-ferals clinic with the Homeless Cat Management Team, appointments scheduled over weeks, the plans made over the course of days, humane traps traded and moved around from person to person, clusters of people staked out in sub-freezing temperatures to watch and remove the trapped cats and wait for the rest to step into the trap for spay or neuter during the clinic, the tallies reported in as the night wore on, cats trapped, new kittens this late in the year, friendly cats, possible injuries. And even though cats still receive less than half the health care dogs do, today at the Pittsburgh Pet Expo I discussed feline-specific practices with several people. I grew up seeing cats as pets with a distance between themselves and everyday life inside the home of the person who “owned” them and being put outside at night, and today I’m discussing species-appropriate raw diets, environmental enrichment, building “catios”, resolving behavioral issues with feline-specific techniques, advanced health care and the use of alternative medicine practices for them, and animal intuitives who can help me to determine how they feel about where they are and what I can do to make them more comfortable. I know there are probably still some people somewhere who put their cat outside each night as a matter of course, but I haven’t encountered one in a long time. My father, a baker, left for work in the middle of the night, and I think Bootsie had her re-entrance carefully planned, though she was often out hunting all night long. I’m not sure why we stopped, but it may have had something to do with me wanting to cuddle Bootsie at night, and the fact my mother was a late night person and ended up letting Bootsie in and out all night long as she did all day. Some of the neighbors never let their cats in, and yet they considered them their pets, and there were also a few people who never let their dogs in either. How strange that seems now, but I also remember the time we did this with my cat Bootsie, during the first few years we had her, after she’d had her litter of kittens and been spayed, out she went each night. That meant it was part of our cultural norm not to let our cats be in the house overnight, but to put them out just after we wound our analog mechanical alarm clocks and just before we went to bed. I grew up in the days when people still said this and meant it, and the phrase and practice were common enough that it had appeared on a greeting card of some sort along with a cartoon illustration of the activity.

In the process, your mental and emotional bodies go through their own cleansing process as well. Panchakarma helps to gently clear the channels of removal in the body so that everything runs smoothly and efficiently, like a well-oiled machine. In order to do so, a little conscious effort is needed. You need all your parts to be running smoothly to feel healthy and energized. Sometimes your body and mind need a little help. While you are more complex than a car, the same concept applies. Ignore your car and its parts start to wear out and overall functioning is less than optimal. Give it good oil and the attention it needs, and it will reward you with many good years. Since your body has its own detoxification system, what’s the purpose of panchakarma? Think of a car that is well-maintained and how long it can be kept running. Your body knows how to cleanse itself quite efficiently and is well-equipped to remove waste through various channels such as: Each step in the program is purposeful and is meant to ultimately restore your body’s innate healing ability. Today, as improper diet, stress, and environmental hazards abound, panchakarma can be of great help.Ī panchakarma program takes place over the course of several days, allowing plenty of time and space to rest and process the experience. When it was initially designed thousands of years ago, there weren’t as many causes for unhealthy accumulations in the body, but it was still necessary to create this sophisticated panchakarma detox program. Pancha in Sanskrit means “five,” and karma means “action” and refers to five different purifying and rejuvenating procedures in Ayurveda. Panchakarma eliminates accumulated impurities from the mind-body physiology it is essentially a detoxification program. One of the first things you will learn about or experience when starting to delve into the world of Ayurveda is the cleansing and rejuvenation process called panchakarma, where you quite literally clean the slate and start anew. In addition, woven into Ayurvedic teachings is a sense of love and compassion for each person’s healing journey and a reminder to regard yourself in the same way. These same principles are mirrored in many indigenous cultures today, especially when it comes to the importance of restoring harmony or balance to cultivate good health. Primordial in essence, Ayurveda serves to awaken your body’s ability to restore balance using principles that are seemingly basic and yet profound. The fact that this ancient medicine is still in use today is a testament to the wisdom it holds when it comes to understanding the human potential to achieve a happy and wholesome life. Ayurveda is an elegant system of healing, first described around 5,000 years ago in ancient Vedic texts as comprehensive teachings on preserving and maintaining health. Her refusal to play the sexy game, likely born out of sheer apathy, is now seen as a sort of protest. In a deliberate bid to hose down those with too many opinions on what clothes she chooses to wear, Eilish has found her “non-style” a bit of a talking point. But we were in dire need of a maverick, a firebrand, and now we’ve got one. These stars are, more often than not, the sort of pleasant blank canvas that teenage girls (and boys) can project their fantasies and aspirations on something that has made pop music successful for decades. Even the most talented and spirited artists, from Lizzo to Adele, are rarely written about without reference to their bodies. There is something depressingly uniform about their Insta-friendly gait, their inoffensively pretty gloss their apparent compliance in using their bodies as their prime commodity. Many of today’s biggest female pop icons have taken a careworn path. But then you realise that this clapping back against the norm makes her the perfect kind of popstar, albeit one probably ahead of her time. On first impression, Billie Eilish doesn’t look like your “typical” pop star, with her shock of neon green hair and a heavy-lidded stare that gives nothing away. It’s the very definition of body neutrality, which in the pop world is a vantage point that borders on the radical. But of course, everyone sees it as ‘she’s saying no to being sexualised’ and ‘she’s saying no to being the stereotypical female’,” Billie told V Magazine earlier this year. She’s got a fat ass.’ No one can say any of that because they don’t know. “Nobody can be like ‘oh, she’s slim thick. It's the very definition of body neutrality, which in the pop world is a vantage point that borders on the radical She did however share a video from TikTok in which YouTuber Chizi Duru summed up what most normal-thinking people feel. One commentator – male, older, presumably has six fewer Grammy awards than Billie Eilish – made mention of her “mid-30s wine mom body”, resulting in an almighty backlash.īodyshaming is the ultimate weapon wielded against women in the public eye, but Eilish appears largely unfazed by the commentary. Some felt compelled to make public note of her very normal, non-Photoshopped body. The Grammy-award winning singer wasn’t going the full Kardashian on it by any means, although the online commentary seems to have thought so. This wouldn't normally be news, but amid the current glut of flesh-flashing pop pixies, Eilish's trademark style – hoodies, baggy shorts, heavy boots, a general air of sexless, uncompromising originality – become a talking point. But this is a weird year, and so here we are.Īnd so it was this week, singer Billie Eilish (18) was photographed by paparazzi going about her business in an unremarkable tank-top. It’s a sorry, and slightly ironic, state of affairs when popstars need to conform and blend in with the “sexy set” if they don’t want others talking about their physical appearance. The study suggests macrophages – cells typically charged with protecting the lung – can be infected by SARS-CoV-2 and can contribute to spreading the infection through the lung. The targets are the immune cells: macrophages and T cells. Drug trial to treat newly discovered targets in COVID-19 pneumoniaĪs a result of the detailed analysis, researchers identified critical targets to treat severe SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia and lessen its damage. This is the first study in which scientists analyzed immune cells from the lungs of COVID-19 pneumonia patients in a systematic manner and compared them to cells from patients with pneumonia from other viruses or bacteria. The severe complications of COVID-19 compared with other pneumonias might be related to the long course of disease rather than more severe disease, the study authors said. Instead of rapidly infecting large regions of the lung, the virus causing COVID-19 sets up shop in multiple small areas of the lung. It then hijacks the lungs' own immune cells and uses them to spread across the lung over a period of many days or even weeks, like multiple wildfires spreading across a forest. As the infection slowly moves across the lung, it leaves damage in its wake and continuously fuels the fever, low blood pressure and damage to the kidneys, brain, heart and other organs in patients with COVID-19. Bacteria or viruses like influenza that cause pneumonia can spread across large regions of the lung within hours. In the modern intensive care unit, these bacteria or viruses are usually controlled either by antibiotics or by the body’s immune system within the first few days of the illness.īut in a study published in Nature on January 11, investigators at Northwestern Medicine show COVID-19 pneumonia is different.

Very little of Correll & Gosden's work prior to Amos 'n' Andy exists today. And by the way, the Fresh Air Taxicab company was first formed in Chicago as well. Both duos went to Chicago, but Amos and Andy eventually came to reside in New York. The solution? The characters "Sam 'n' Henry" changed their names to "Amos 'n' Andy", changed their original homes from Birmingham, Alabama to Atlanta, Georgia, and transferred membership from the "Jewels of the Crown" lodge to the "Mystic Knights of the Sea". Because of prior contractual arrangements, WGN in Chicago would not let Correll & Gosden use the names "Sam 'n' Henry" when Correll & Gosden began broadcasting nationally. Prior to the creation of Amos and Andy, Charles Correll and Freeman Gosden developed and performed the characters "Sam 'n' Henry" between Januand August 19, 1929. Thanks to Lowell who provided the information on Correll & Gosden's Here's full information on exactly where these wonderful recordings come from (info courtesy of this archival sounds site) The final "Amos 'n' Andy" episode aired Novemas The Amos & Andy Music Hall.Īs far as i know this is as close as we've yet come to hearing what otr 1926 sounded like(anyone who has links to other ultra-early otr please put them here) Aug 19, 1929, "Amos 'n' Andy" moved to 11:00 pm on NBC-Red, with Pepsodent as their Sponsor. "Amos 'n' Andy" debuted on Chicago's WMAQ radio in Chicago on and Correll & Gosden never looked back! WMAQ was to become the Chicago outlet for CBS. A short period past 2 years later, just as Correll & Gosden were set to go national with "Sam 'n' Henry," the the radio station that owned the "Sam 'n' Henry" name, refused to allow C&G to use the name.Ĭorrell & Gosden solved the problem by leaving the afore-mentioned station & gave their fellas new names. Their first broadcast of "Sam 'n' Henry" was on at WGN Radio in Chicago. This happened often, and it happened with one of the earliest, most popular and longest running radio programs, one that hit the air in 1926.Ĭharles Correll & Freeman Gosden had been working together since 1920 when they hit upon a great radio idea. It wasn't uncommon for real talent to leave a program and start a new show under a new name, leaving the station with the former program in name only. He said it was one of the reasons the show collapsed despite its huge following in the 1900s, according to the New York Times.OTR Correll & Gosden (aka Sam 'n Henry) (aka Amos & Andy) SAM 'N' HENRY, and later AMOS 'N' ANDY, was the start of radio serials. This compelled CBS to take the show off its screens in 1953 because many of the sponsors have withdrawn their support due to bad publicity.Īuthor Melvin Patrick Ely, who wrote on the sitcom’s history in the context of the American phenomenon, said that the show highlighted very sensitive themes that many Black people didn’t find comfortable. However, the National Association for the Advancement of Coloured People (NAACP) criticized the show over the deliberate promotion and entrenchment of derogatory stereotypes about African Americans. It became the first TV series to feature an all-Black cast. Alvin Childress and Spencer Williams, Jr. The practice of blackface had declined so African-American characters replaced the white actors. In 1951, Amos ‘n’ Andy came to television. The main characters of the show dwelled on everyday language that stereotyped Black folks and framed their character traits in line with long-held racial views about people of African descent in the 1800s. Cravings often subside after delivery, but it’s not uncommon for some lingering preferences to remain.ġ0 Weird and Wonderful Pregnancy Cravings Some women may experience cravings for only a few weeks, while others may have them throughout the entire pregnancy. The duration of pregnancy cravings varies from woman to woman and can even change throughout pregnancy. It’s important to note that not all women experience cravings, and their intensity and frequency can vary widely. Hormonal fluctuations intensify during this time, leading to increased cravings. Emotional and psychological factors, cultural influences, and past experiences with food can also shape pregnancy cravings.Ĭravings can start as early as the first trimester, although they tend to become more pronounced in the second and third trimesters. Additionally, nutritional deficiencies, such as a need for specific vitamins or minerals, may trigger cravings as the body seeks to meet its requirements. Hormonal changes play a significant role in altering taste and smell perceptions, making certain foods more appealing. The exact cause of pregnancy cravings is not fully understood, but several factors contribute to their occurrence. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll delve deeper into the science behind pregnancy cravings, when they typically begin, how long they last, and other important information to help you navigate this fascinating aspect of pregnancy. While some cravings may be fairly common, such as a desire for pickles or ice cream, others can be quite unusual. However, one of the most intriguing aspects of pregnancy is the sudden onset of cravings for specific foods.

In a bind you can change up to 50% of the water, but understand that this does carry more risk. Removing anymore than this and you run the risk of the new water being too much of a shock to the system. While you can dose these with supplements back into your system, refreshing the system with new water is also a vital part of maintaining these elements.Īs a general rule of thumb you can safely remove and replace 20-30% of the water from the system daily. These trace elements are even more important if you have a tank that contains live corals or live plants. Over time vital minerals and electrolytes in your water are used up by your aquarium inhabitants, such as iodine and stromium. Removing things from the system is not the only reason to change your water. Address all these issues by actively removing water from the system and replacing it with new water Nitrate is safe at lower levels, but as it rises so does its impact on fish health. Most filtration systems do not address the slow accumulation of nitrate that occurs through the nitrogen cycle. Phosphate and silicates will also slowly accumulate over time, both which will contribute to algae blooms and negatively impact both plant and coral growth. For many species of fish this can cause problems with their immune systems over time, making them more susceptible to illness. Dissolved mineral build up can cause your Total Hardness (GH) to slowly climb in a freshwater system. Filters do not address the slow accumulation of dissolved minerals, silicates, phosphage, or heavy metals in tank water that occurs through evaporation and subsequent replacement ("topping off") with new water. Filters can remove macroscopic particles from the water, leftover food, fish waste, and can even help control toxic chemicals such as ammonia and nitrite. While filtration systems can go a long way in maintaining water quality in ponds and aquariums, they have their limitations. In this article we wil discuss why water changes are important and how to perform them properly to insure a healthy home aquatic ecosystem. However, there is more to performing water changes than just dumping out the old water and adding in the new. Routine water changes are a vital part of maintain a balanced, healthy environment in any pond or aquarium. |
