Hi there I'm a newbie here. My son has had bowel moment issues since he was round 1, he is now 5 and over time they are not getting better, they are getting worse. We've been on movicol since he was 1 also. He used to have one sachet a day which pretty much kept him regular although he never had the right type of stool. Since around December he has been suffering with major bloating (like huge). We've been docs lots of times since December about it. They say he has chronic constipation although his belly is nice and soft and that he's full of wind. He can't get the wind out. He is pooing more regular but doesn't manage everyday though he does most days.
But the bloating just won't go away. The doctor won't seem to take me seriously about it. I'm really concerned. He's been sick some days too as he just seems so full. We've cut dairy for two weeks hasn't made any difference now also cutting gluten and no difference. The docs won't refer us to a peadiatrian or a gastrointestinal doctor and I really feel something isn't right. I don't know what else to do for him. We go back again and again and just get sent away.
My son often looked just like this. He has an issue with his colon being stretched and blocked and with no feelings from nerve damaged from being constipated for so many years. He is on movical too but we take at least 2 per day too keep him soft and regular without bloating any more. We used to take a lot of laxative and stimulants too. Also he would bloat after jacket potatoes but took me a while to notice the connection. I feel you should insist on the GP seeing him while he's in distress and vomiting or st least a telephone consulate to discuss adjusting his medicine. Best wishes.
I would be concerned too. We know our children and when things don't seem right. Are you always seeing the same gp? Are there other gps at your surgery you could see who may agree to refer your son. Has he ever had an X-ray of his bowel? That is a way to see the extent of constipation.
Is you gp offering any advice with how to deal with the bloating?
Although not an option for all as it's costly, but could you take him for a private consultation with a paediatrician? Would be about £150-200 for initial consultation, and you don't always need a gp referral. I have had various advice from different GPs over the years, most of it quite helpful, for my daughter but it wasn't until I saw a consultant that I felt I was getting expert and specific advice.
Hi thanks for the replys. Since this all began I've seen around 5 gps at our surgery. Two most recently, the two most considered the better doctors. We've just done two weeks of dairy free diet, and it hasn't made much difference and she is now saying I can try a gluten free diet for two weeks which I have already started on Saturday off my own back. I do think they may be right and it may just be chronic constipation but we are not able to get him trumping or burping to release the wind at all. I've tried gripe water although he's 5, tried hot water bottle.
I spoke with the doc this morning via telephone consultation and she said there isn't anything they can give him for wind unfortunately. So I'm at a loss. And they don't want him to change his movicol. I asked if she's certain it won't be due to a yeast, bacterial or parasitic issue the bloating and she said it's very unlikely going by his bloods and his past appointments, he's been quite a few times in the last few months.
My son seems to suffer from gas pains so they could well be right. She has said once we've done two weeks gluten free if there isn't any improvement she will refer him to a peadiatrian at last.
I don't know if it's the higher doses of his meds bloating him up. He used to have 1 per day which probably wasn't enough and caused him to get blocked up or backed up. Then we had to do9 days of high doses to get him to clear. Then came back down gradually to two per day. We found 2 movicol wasn't enough to keep him going daily let alone doing a type 4/5 stool, so he has to have 3 per day to keep him regular yet we still can't get the right stool but very bloated every day. Starts off bloated know the morning and really bloated by the evening. I don't know if maybe I should add abit of senna at night to keep his bowel working or not. But at the same time don't want him to have too much laxatives or stool softeners if that's causing his bloating. I make sure he drinks 1.3ltrs of weak squash a day too as he won't have plain water.
I would increase the Movicol to where you get a type 4 stool. Movicol is only a water carrier so in itself will not cause bloating. Quite often bloating is caused by gas leaching from faeces that stays too long in the colon. I would suggest NICE Guidance is used and you add in 7.5mg Senna to help push the poo out. If he has had long term constipation problems his bowel may not be functioning properly, it takes a long time for this to return.
Ask your pharmacist for some simeticone. Great for wind .
NICE is an organisation set up by the government and gives guidelines on what treatments and drugs are available or recommended for different conditions on the NHS. You can google NICE guidelines for constipation.
Some good advice above. And also good to know that you may be able to get a referral to a specialist too if needed.
I have always found movicol a tricky one with my daughter. Trying to get the right dose that didn't cause explosive poo or lots of poo in knickers in between her poos was hard. She was prescribed senokot too last summer which has helped.
I found I had to get movicol dose right by adding/removing teaspoons as opposed to whole or half sachets, 3/4 sachet worked well with Senokot for us and now we are down to 1/2 sachet with senokot. Both these dosages achieved by going down by teaspoon every few days until we could get frequent (not daily) soft poos but without poo in knickers in between. Consultant said as long as it's soft then it doesn't matter if they don't poo daily.
We have never achieved a poo that is "good" on the Bristol scale. We are just happy if he goes and doesn't have overflow for the time being as his bowls are in such a state from being constipated for so long. Have you tried squatting? Think of star jumps before he sits on the loo and while he's on there get him to blow some bubbbles this may help pass some trapped gases.

Open Sources Show Notes for Thursday November 22, 2018
Adam A. Donaldson Show Notes November 22, 2018 November 25, 2018
This Open Sources Guelph is going to be a dire one. We're going to talk about Brexit, which is going about as well as everyone expected. We're going to talk about sex abuse, which seemed to have been baked into the culture of a prestigious Toronto school. We're going to talk about the lack of support for trans rights in the governing PC Party. And we're going to talk about our country's environmental failures. Hold on to your butts.
This Thursday, November 22 at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss:
Brexit Bad. Things went from bad to worse for the U.K. last week when the draft of the Brexit deal was released, and it satisfied absolutely no one. The hardcore Brexiteers were the most unsatisfied saying that the deal doesn't go far enough to separate the U.K. from the European Union, while the remaining Remainers are trying to convince the government that a new referendum is the way to go now that the full extent of the effects of Brexit are understood. Either way, it looks likely that Theresa May is the one that's going to lose. Can May stand even as Brexit falls apart around her?
School Busted. St. Michael's College, a prestigious private Catholic School in Toronto, has been embroiled in scandal the last week after journalists broke a story about hazing and sex abuse in the ranks of the athletic programs at the all-boys school. It was only after those initial media reports that the police got involved and charges were laid, but there are big questions about why it took the mainstream media to get involved to prompt St. Mike's to tackle the problem. There are also concerns that despite the attention, the school is working from the inside to mitigate the damage. Did the system fail the students here?
Trans Fights. Tanya Granic Allen returned to the news last week by bringing forth a successful resolution to have the PC Party debate on whether gender identity is a liberal conspiracy that shouldn't be taught in schools. Cool. Doug Ford tried to clean it up Monday, saying that the debate is "Done", but how can it be "Done" when a majority of the party voted overwhelmingly for having the debate? What are trans people supposed to think when the governing party thinks their existence is a liberal conspiracy? How genuine should we then take Lisa MacLeod's statement of support on Trans Day of Remembrance?
Green Look. It's brutal news for the environment on a near daily basis, but for Canada specifically, it seems that we're lagging behind in meeting our climate change targets set by the Paris Accord, 90 per cent our plastic is not being recycled, Ontario just canned the environment commissioner, and there's pressure to get more help to the oil patch as prices have hit rock bottom. Despite the warnings of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, there's been no renewed effort to address the issue even as the experts say we're running out of time. What can we do as the clock ticks down to oblivion?

Review: Blades of Time
June 25, 2012 / Dave Taylor / Articles, Tutorials, and Reviews, Video Game Tips / No Comments
A new IP has hacked and slashed its way into the fast-action, combo-thrashing genre. The Gaijin-developed brawler, Blades of Time, is now released on the PC, Mac, PS3, and Xbox 360. With multiple successful franchises already dominating the hack 'n slash scene such as Devil May Cry and Darksiders, how does newcomer Blades stack up?

Preview: Defense of the Ancients 2
June 7, 2012 / Dave Taylor / Articles, Tutorials, and Reviews, Video Game Tips / No Comments
Valve Software's latest free-to-play project is nearing its completion and PC release. Defense of the Ancients 2, currently in its public beta stage, is no longer under non-disclosure agreement and is set to take a few multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) competitors out of the picture.
Before I delve into quality, you should know what a MOBA is. It plays like a real-time strategy game such as Starcraft or Age of Empires, except you only control one unit for nearly the entire time. This unit is your hero, your champion, whatever you want to call it. Heroes gain experience and gold by destroying enemies. Experience is used to level up and learn new abilities, where gold is used to buy items that have a wide array of effects. It's starting to sound like an MMORPG at this point, so here's the catch: At the beginning of every match, heroes start over at level 1 and with a very small amount of gold. You carry little or nothing over from previous games.
Video Game Review: Tera for Windows PC
May 23, 2012 / Dave Taylor / Video Game Tips / No Comments
TRUE. ACTION. COMBAT. This is brand new Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (MMORPG) Tera's tagline, as the May 1st release by Bluehole Studios boasts combat that truly is dynamic and skill-based. Now, for a subscription MMORPG that you still have to pay a solid $50 for, you're probably wondering if Tera is for you, or if you should hold out for Guild Wars 2. Let's make this quick: If storyline and / or interesting quests are what keep you engaged in an MMORPG, stay away from Tera.
Game review: Jetpack Joyride for iPad
My jetpack is a friggin' machine gun. Really, I propel myself through the air by pulling the trigger. At least, that's the idea in Jetpack Joyride, the free-to-play iOS game by Halfbrick, the lovely folks that brought us Fruit Ninja.
The concept is incredibly simple, the controls incredibly intuitive. Hold down a finger on the screen to propel yourself, release to descend. Your goal is to run, jump and fly as far as possible through a procedurally-generated laboratory, gradually gaining speed, while dodging obstacles such as missiles and zappers, and picking up coins and spin tokens.
If you're an avid gamer, you might be thinking of a flash game right now that has a similar concept. There's a few out there. None, however, reaches anywhere near the charm, smooth execution, and depth of Jetpack Joyride.
Review: Infinity Blade II for Apple iPad
April 24, 2012 / Dave Taylor / Articles, Tutorials, and Reviews, Video Game Tips / No Comments
It's just sitting there in the App Store, laughing at you atop its price tag of $6.99. Why in the world would you spend your hard-earned money when there's so much awesome free stuff in the iOS App Store?
Answer: It's bloody well worth it.
Do you like the idea of being a powerful swordsman that shrugs off the attacks of a titan twice his size, only to eviscerate his enemy? Do you dream of towering citadels wrought with danger, seeing them as challenges to overcome? Do you like fighting things by swiping your finger across your screen?
If you said "yes" to any of the above, you should get Infinity Blade II.
Resign from Words with Friends game?
February 6, 2012 / Dave Taylor / iPhone & iOS Help, Video Game Tips / 8 Comments
I've been playing Words with Friends and am just starting a game with someone who I just realized is a gal I don't want to play games with. We have kind of a history. She's sly, though, not having a real name associated with her Words with Friends account, so it was only a mutual friend who told me. Now I want to resign the game. How do I do that on my iPhone?
Connect my Nintendo 3DS to the Internet via wifi?

My daughter has a Nintendo 3DS and wants to connect it to the Internet for some sort of multiplayer game. I am clueless about this device and didn't even realize it was Internet-ready when I bought it for her. Can you help me get her 3DS online?
Runescape – Level 3 – New Player's Guide
October 28, 2010 / Dave Taylor / Articles, Tutorials, and Reviews, Video Game Tips / No Comments
So you want to know how to be good in Runescape? How to train your account after you just started? Well this is the perfect guide for you. Today I will tell you how to make money as a level 3 player, how to train for certain skills etc. So let's get on with it!
Getting a weapon and training combat
When you come out of Explorer Jack's house you should be able to see a building with dummies in it which you can hit for combat training. Talk to the melee instructor and get a free training sword and shield. Go to the nearby general store and get all the free stuff there including the bronze dagger.
Go the fishing and axe shop which are in Lumbridge too and get the free tools there. It will all come in handy. Now for combat training, cross the bridge near the furnace and you should see a paddock with cows in it. Go in there and start killing the cows for combat training. Don't pick up their bones which you could of course sell but I'll tell you how to make money with those later.
Now you know how to train combat I'll tell you how to make money…

The Michigan Bucks are set to host the Premier Development League championship game Saturday at Ultimate Soccer Arenas in Pontiac, but the team does not expect a financial windfall from the event.
Owner Dan Duggan said he expects to lose money on the title game against Calgary Foothills FC, but that's not what he's in the business for. He said his focus is to develop the young players into a winning team and get them ready for the next level. Duggan called this year's team "one of the most talented teams ever assembled in the PDL." He expects about six players to be drafted into Major League Soccer and around nine total playing in the majors within the next few years.
This is the second time in three years the Bucks have hosted the championship game and is their fifth overall appearance, winning it in 2014.
Ultimate Soccer Arenas has a seating capacity of about 1,600, and Duggan expects attendance for the championship match to approach that total. The Bucks keep ticket revenue, and the arena keeps all concessions revenue.
Average attendance usually hovered around 800 per game this season, about on par with previous years, according to Duggan. It's especially difficult to make money while playing in such a small venue, Duggan said, but he stressed how money is not a concern for him regarding the Bucks. The team has played its home matches at the arena since 2008.
Duggan also said it costs "a great deal of money to host the event," but he did not disclose costs or how much he expects to lose.
Tickets for the game are on sale for $6 and are free for children ages 5 and under. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m.
The Bucks stormed through regular-season play with the best record in the Great Lakes Division of the PDL's Central Conference and cruised through the playoffs, beating the Midland/Odessa Shockers FC 3-0 to advance to the championship game.
The Bucks were founded by Duggan, brother of Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan, in 1995. The PDL is in the amateur fourth tier of the Chicago-based seven-tier United States Soccer Federation's organizational pyramid, which is topped by MLS and its 20 professional teams. Teams are made up of mostly college players looking to hone their skills and get noticed by professional scouts in the summer.
According to the PDL, 70 percent of MLS draftees have PDL experience; 40 Michigan Bucks alumni are currently playing professionally in the U.S. and Canada.


I am frequently asked how often I use manual therapy in conjunction with Functional Dry Needling (FDN). My answer is typically, "It depends!" but a more honest answer is, "Almost always!".
I truly believe that FDN is an extension of our manual techniques. I use other joint and soft tissue techniques for evaluation before the application of FDN, as a test/re-test following FDN to see if my needling has made a change, and as a way to provide another (less invasive and more comfortable) input following treatment. The application of different techniques or tools will always depend on the clinical presentation of our patient, the therapeutic goal of our intervention, and most importantly, the treatment preference of our patients.
In Functional Therapeutics: Applications for Functional Dry Needling (FT), which I teach multiple times a year as a lead instructor with KinetaCore, we take a deep dive into exactly how to blend the use of FDN with our other treatment methods.
I want to share a concept with you that we often discuss in the FT course: Hilton's Law.
I was introduced to Hilton's Law a few years ago by KinetaCore founder and CEO, Edo Zylstra. John Hilton was a British surgeon who gave lectures in 1860-1862, based on his observations of anatomy and dissection. Hilton's Law states that the nerve supplying any given joint will also innervate the muscles acting on that joint and the skin overlying the insertions of those muscles. For instance, the musculocutaneous nerve (C5, C6, C7) supplying the elbow capsule also innervates the coracobrachialis, biceps brachii, and brachialis, as well as innervating the skin near the insertion of those muscles.
With this in mind, it gives us an opportunity to direct both our evaluation and treatment. You can use manual techniques to determine if a joint is moving correctly, the tissue quality and myotomal competency of the muscles surrounding the joint, and the skin sensitivity directly over the joint and muscle insertions.
I routinely try to address all three inputs in any given treatment session, just to cover all the bases!
My manual therapy approaches have also evolved after listening to Adriaan Louw PT, PhD, CSMT and others from the International Spine and Pain Institute. Now, I understand that even when my manual technique is directed at a local tissue, the effects may be continued through the spinal cord and ultimately have an effect on the central nervous system. When I started utilizing manual techniques, my focus was always on what I was doing "to" a tissue. However, lately my focus has been more on how my patient "perceives" that tissue.
How many times in practice does a patient comment, "I didn't realize that muscle/joint/area was so sore or tight until you touched it!"? I think many of our manual therapy techniques are most effective if we can build the patient's awareness of that body area and improve their "mental map" of that area. As I frequently joke in the FT course, all of our manual techniques are really about touching the patient's homunculus!
Manual therapy encompasses a wide variety of inputs, so let's discuss some common treatment techniques.
I typically use joint accessory motions and passive range of motion to assess how well a joint is moving by comparing it to the patient's other side. Then, I apply grade I-II mobilizations for pain control, decreased tone, and improved joint circulation. Grade III mobilizations (large amplitude to end ranges) can be helpful for desensitizing end ranges and improving mobility.
If a patient does not want to include dry needling in their treatment, grade V mobilizations can also provide a similar (though not as dramatic or long lasting, in my opinion) reset. Following dry needling, I will re-assess the joint mobility to see if we have produced a change. I also commonly use instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization or light cupping following dry needling, for input to the skin with light pressure, to stimulate a dermatome, and to desensitize a target tissue.
Let's give this concept some life and discuss an example case study.
Scenario: A forty-five-year-old male presents with complaints of insidious onset of right lateral and anterior shoulder pain, increasing in the last two months. He sits with forward head posture and slightly increased thoracic kyphosis, with a downward sloping right scapula compared to left. Aggravating factors include lifting overhead (painful 7/10 active scaption in arc of impingement starting at 70 degrees), reaching behind to lift objects in car, and sleeping on his right side. Patient reports decreased symptoms with rest, ibuprofen, and ice. Patient demonstrates slightly restricted right cervical rotation, hypomobile AA rotation right and OA flexion bilaterally, and hypomobile mid-thoracic spine. Light touch sensation is intact and symmetric, but with abnormal C5 and C6 myotome testing on the right. Negative labral dysfunction tests and negative apprehension tests, but positive impingement signs.
Treatment: Muscle energy techniques applied to the upper cervical spine for increased right AA rotation, grade V mobilization to mid thoracic spine. Grade I-II oscillation of right shoulder at GH joint in neutral for short arc external and internal rotation. Soft tissue mobilization to bilateral cervical paraspinals as well as the posterior cuff and deltoids (trigger points noted at right > left cervical paraspinals from C4-C6, right infraspinatus and middle deltoids with sensitivity to light palpation).
FDN was applied with a segmental, myotomal circuit approach. Needles were placed with one circuit directed at bilateral C5 multifidus and another at right infraspinatus/middle deltoid, 3 pulses per second at an intensity high enough to produce a palpable, comfortable muscle contraction and continued until patient and clinician noticed a change in intensity, frequency or quality of contraction (approximately two minutes in this case).
Immediately following FDN, manual palpation of the infraspinatus and deltoid showed decreased tone and tenderness. IASTM was applied with light, effleurage type strokes in a C5 dermatomal pattern and erythema was noted over the infraspinatus. Upon re-test, patient reported improved active scaption ROM with decreased pain (2/10 pain at lateral shoulder reported at 90 degrees scaption) and right cervical rotation equal to the left.
Patient was instructed in thoracic self-mobilization using a foam roller, deep cervical flexion and cervical AROM, scapular stabilization using shoulder tap activity on a counter for his HEP. Further treatment will be directed at improving scapular upward rotation, improving and maintaining thoracic and upper cervical mobility, and progression of scapular and GH stabilization exercises.
Manual therapy can be used for both evaluation and treatment within the same session. Evidence based practice is a great way to identify effective tools for certain conditions, but the art of what we do is how we apply those tools to successfully treat the individual in front of us.
The condensed answer to, "How do you use manual therapy in conjunction with Functional Dry Needling?" is: We can use manual therapy techniques . . .
And as a way to further improve feedback for the nervous system.
How do you pair FDN and manual therapy in your clinic?

Happy Saturday to you! We have another change in the cooking club. This year, as I said last week, we aren't doing the points, we are still supposed to submit our recipes and reviews by a certain date and here is the other new change. Every month not only do the recipes have to come from a different source than we have ever used, but each month one of the contributors (this month it was Rachel) will have to pick a recipe with a new ingredient they have never used before! We are going in order from youngest to oldest, so for February I will have to pick a recipe with an ingredient I have NEVER cooked with before. So there are might be some far out recipes by the end of the year.
This weeks recipe was submitted by me; this was my easy/food pantry recipe submission. Everyone but Rachel submitted their recipes late (doh! bad way to start the year) so we don't have a beautiful picture from Rachel like usual, but just the picture from where I got the recipe--which was from iFood an App on my iPad from Kraftfood.
Cook and stir onion and green pepper in 1 Tbsp. of the butter in large saucepan on medium heat until crisp-tender; remove from saucepan. Set aside.
Mix soup and milk in same saucepan; cook on low heat until heated through, stirring occasionally.
Add VELVEETA; cook until melted. stirring frequently. Add onion mixture, tuna, noodles and pimiento; mix lightly.
Spoon into greased 1-1/2-quart casserole dish. Melt remaining 3 Tbsp. butter; toss with bread cubes. Sprinkle over casserole.


The RATED® Slings not only gives you more confidents when really going for you 'Max' but also helps protect your bar and plates from potential damage.
When using traditional steel spotting arms it is easy to damage your bar when dropped from a height where as with the sling the heavy-duty nylon webbing is easy on your bar and will take over a ton of weight.
Also as RATED® Slings are available in lengths up to 1650mm and traditional iron spotting arm are only about 600mm long Slings offer a safer working environment giving you the confidence to go heavier and or deeper.
The RATED® Slings attach to your rig with heavy-duty brackets which are both quick and easy to fix and take off, see our Sling Brackets.
Add a new dimension to your training, allow you to go heavier, harder and for longer.
RATED® Slings also come in 1650mm lengths for compact format rigs.
What a great idea, I can still dump the bar with out damaging it on steel spotters.
I love going to Renouf, always something different to see, and buy!
Very good price for the quality and easy way to turn my four poster into a cage.

Tarek El Moussa Explains Why He Thinks People Are So Invested In He And Christina Anstead's Personal Lives
By Jessica Rawden
Tarek El Moussa and Christina Anstead have managed to maintain a working relationship in the two years since the Flip or Flop stars were officially divorced following an initial split in 2016. There's a reason Flip or Flop has not only survived but thrived since the two split and it's also the reason El Moussa believes people are so invested in he and Anstead's personal lives.
In fact, when ET recently asked about Christina Anstead's split with new husband Ant Anstead, Tarek El Moussa chose to reflect more on why people are so interested in hearing about he and his former wife's divorces and relationships. He noted that the fanbase has been around for a long time and wants to feel they know the reality stars on more of a personal level.
For most fans, I think it's more than just a real estate show. We've been doing this for so long. People have watched kids born, people have watched us raise kids, they watched us get divorced, they know us. They've been following our lives for almost 10 years. They feel like they're a part of it, which makes sense.
While Flip or Flop doesn't touch on Tarek El Moussa and Christina Anstead's home lives on quite the level it used to given they shared more when they were previously married, both stars also have separate shows on HGTV where they do get a little more personal. Christina Anstead has shared big news on Christina on the Coast and Tarek has his own solo show Flipping 101, with a second season on the way.
As for Tarek's own take on his former partner Christina Anstead's split from her new husband Ant Anstead, the Flip or Flop star doesn't really want to get involved, noting,
I prefer just to stay out of it.
After all, Tarek El Moussa and Christina Anstead both still have a show to do together. News broke back in September that the two were back on set and filming Season 9 of the popular HGTV series Flip or Flop for audiences. It should be interesting to see the former couple dealing with real estate during the pandemic and more and I wouldn't be shocked if the new episodes got a little more personal --at least on that topic -- but we'll have to wait and see.
Christina Anstead, for her part, has actually been pretty candid about her second impending divorce. She's spoken out about dealing with the "false news" stories generated about her divorce and also about being a TV personality who never believed she would be going through a divorce not once, but twice.
I never thought I would have one divorce let alone two. I never thought I would have 2 baby daddies - but sometimes life throws us curve balls. Instead of getting stuck in these 'setbacks' I choose to look at these challenges as opportunities to grow... I'm messy, I'm real and I'm working on healing... I'm taking time to clear the "noise" and focus on myself and the kids.
Christina and Ant Anstead share one child and will be co-parenting moving forward. Christina Anstead and Tarek El Moussa also share two children, as well as their working relationship. For his part, Tarek El Moussa has also moved on and is dating Selling Sunset star Heather Rae Young. We'll be sure to keep you posted if more news drops for the HGTV stars, though perhaps we'll get something on a more sparkly and positive note next time...

Global Players – An In-Depth Analysis
More and more nowadays, we hear that the tyre industry is becoming increasingly global and ever-more companies describe themselves as a global player. But what exactly makes a company a true global player? An in-depth article in TYRES & ACCESSORIES 6/2000 looks at the criteria by which a so-called 'global player' should be judged and concludes that the only three companies that merit this term are Bridgestone, Goodyear and Michelin. The article examines in detail each company's performance in the world's most important markets, their market shares and turnover figures, their strengths and weaknesses and their prospects for the future. The article goes on to examine the home markets of the global players (USA, Europe and Asia) and discusses the performances of the lesser players and what is likely to happen to them. Todays global tyre market is one of acquisitions and alliances, mergers and new technological advances. Competition is intense and, in terms of market share, none of the big three seems able to leave its rivals standing, neither is the gap between the big three and the second three growing. Having said that, none of the second three stands a realistic chance of becoming a true global player in the future. The article gives a detailed, objective assessment of today's tyre industry, together with some speculation concerning what might happen in the future.

The 30 day money back guarantee remains as it says, if the customer is unhappy, he will get his money back if he returns the goods within 30 days of purchase.

Women are at a higher risk of contracting Salmonella food poisoning during pregnancy because of hormonal changes that suppress their immune system. The illness can cause preterm labor, miscarriage, or in rare cases stillbirth. If a pregnant woman is diagnosed with a Salmonella infection (salmonellosis), it is extremely important to discuss treatment and how to protect the unborn child from infection because it is possible for the little one to develop severe complications, including meningitis and sepsis. Contact our lawyers for a free consultation about a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit and your right to sue for answers, compensation and justice.
Salmonella is a genus of aerobic gram-negative rod-shaped nonspore-forming usually motile bacteria of the family Enterobacteriaceae that grow well on artificial media and form acid and gas on many carbohydrates but not on lactose, sucrose, or salicin, that are pathogenic for humans and other warm-blooded animals, and that cause food poisoning, acute gastrointestinal inflammation, typhoid fever, and septicemia. The most common sources are raw eggs, undercooked poultry, and pets/farm animals (especially pet turtles, hamsters, and cats).
When a pregnant woman ingests Salmonella, they can travel through the womb to the placenta and sicken the unborn child. It is also possible for these bacteria to infect a newborn during delivery.
For the newborn, the infection may cause severe illness or death. As stated above, some of the complications for these little ones include: meningitis, an infection of the lining of the brain and spinal cord; sepsis; and pancreatitis.
You can call 1-888-377-8900 toll free or click here now to contact our Salmonella lawyers and get your free consultation. You may have a claim against a restaurant, food company and others.

Tripura CM Bipalb Kumar Deb plans to turn Agartala into world class city
PTI | 19 Jun 2019 7:11 AM GMT
Plans are on to elevate the status of Tripura capital to that of a world class city by providing it with modern amenities, Chief Minister Bipalb Kumar...
Agartala: Plans are on to elevate the status of Tripura capital to that of a world class city by providing it with modern amenities, Chief Minister Bipalb Kumar Deb has said.
The city now has integrated intelligent traffic signal system, wide roads, well maintained parks and better parking services, Deb said.
"At present, we are working on projects for better sewage water management system, rain water drainage system and beautification of urban water bodies," Deb, also the state's urban development minister, said.
He was speaking to reporters after laying the foundation stone for five new projects under the 'Agartala Smart City Mission' here on Tuesday.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi had launched the Smart Cities Mission across the country in 2015 and Agartala was included in the first list of 100 cities to be turned into smart cities, the chief minister said.
The budget for the city's modernization is Rs 2,063 crore and the Centre and the state are sharing funds equally, he said.
The state government's 50 per cent will come with the support of HUDCO and the Asian Development Bank (ADB).
"After the project is complete, we will have to maintain it, but Agartala Municipal Corporation (AMC) does not have that amount of money. So, you should be ready for a hike in taxes within the next three years," he said.
In course of time, the city dwellers would automatically develop a mindset to pay taxes for better civic amenities, he said.
Tripuras legendary king Maharaja Bir Bikram Kishore Manikya Bahadur had dreamt of making Agartala a smart and modern city, he said.
Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore, who immortalized the princely state through his writings, had visited the kingdom seven times, the chief minister said.
Deb laid the foundation stones for upgradation of Maharaja Bir Biikram College Road, facelift of three ponds including Maharaja Bir Bikram (MBB) College lake, development of Ranir pukur pond, development of Dimsagar-II pond and installation of modern bus stops and shelter for passengers at 20 locations of Agartala city.

Chicken massacre: Stray tank-destroyer shell strikes henhouse during botched training exercise in Italy
An Italian public prosecutor has impounded four B1 Centauro tank destroyers, one of which is suspected of firing its gun in the direction of a farm and killing multiple hens with a direct hit.
The incident happened during a night training exercise in the northern Italian province of Pordenone, local media reported. The stray shell landed directly on a henhouse at a farm in the Vivaro municipality, killing some animals and partially collapsing the shed.
The unlucky shot apparently came from one of the wheeled military vehicles belonging to the 'Pozzuolo del Friuli' Cavalry Brigade, which took part in a night exercise at the nearby Cellina-Meduna shooting range. The crew of the B1 Centauro for some reason turned its high-caliber gun – which is designed to pierce the armor of tanks and similar targets – away from the intended target area and towards the farm located on the outskirts of the town of Vivaro. According to an army statement, the location in question was evacuated before the maneuvers began.
Owners of the farm discovered the damage in the morning after the exercise. After a police report about the incident, the provincial public prosecutor ordered four tank destroyers impounded pending an investigation.
The Italian military confirmed that something at the training exercise went wrong and said they were conducting an internal probe of their own, pledging to cooperate with the civilian authorities.
Needless to say, the "Massacre of chicken in Pordenone", as some outlets called it, made the Italian army target of some mockery on social media.

The Rev. Dr. John DeWitt Stonesifer is a life-long Episcopalian, having been born and reared in the suburbs of Washington, DC.
While a priest for over three decades, John has focused on serving as a professional interim priest for the last 18 years, working with over 20 parishes in Maryland, Kentucky, Delaware, New York, West Virginia, Illinois and New Jersey.
John is a leader for the Interim Ministry in the Episcopal Church (IMEC) and the ecumenical Interim Ministry Network (IMN), both of which support the training and development of interim ministers. His doctoral work in transition leadership was completed in 2015 at Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary.
John graduated from Clemson University, and from there went on to study at Virginia Theological Seminary in 1984. Upon graduation he served in parish ministry for six years; and then for nine years for two Episcopal Schools as chaplain, assistant to the head of schools, and leader of religious curriculum – earning his M.B.A. during that time. Now his emphasis is on interim ministry and clergy coaching.
John and his wife of 34 years, Susan, recently took up residence in New Castle, Delaware. They have two grown children. In his free time, John enjoys playing music in a band (he's a drummer) and taking part in the Sons of the American Revolution (SAR).
Mark Brinkmann received his Bachelor of Arts from the University of Iowa and then a Master of Divinity from Seabury-Western Theological Seminary. A priest for over thirty years, he has served in the dioceses of Los Angeles, Spokane and Utah, before joining the staff in 2007. In addition to a broad range of parish duties, he is on the diocesan Board of Trustees and Liturgical Commission as well as being the Dean of the Southern Deanery.
Having grown up a United Methodist, he was drawn to the worship of the Episcopal Church.

Q: Creating a dynamic top 10 list in MS Excel 2010 I have a simple table consisting of two columns:
CLIENT         REVENUE
___________________________

A              5000 USD

B              7500 USD

C              6000 USD

D              2500 USD

...            ...

I want to create a dynamic top 10 client list, that automatically updates itself as revenues are changed.
I have already been able to list the top 10 revenues by using the LARGE function, but I have trouble with getting the clients' names next to the revenue numbers.

A: A simple way to do this would be to combine the Index and Match functions like this :
=INDEX(A:A,MATCH(E1,B:B,0))
This assumes your client names are in column A, Revenue is in column B, and the the large() revenue you are looking up is in cell E1
Additionally this simple approach will return the first client name with the 'large' revenue and in the rare event that two clients had the exact same revenue the above formula will show the first client twice.
An approach that handles the offset from duplicate revenue's would look like this:
=IF(ISNUMBER(E1),INDEX($A$1:$A$13,SMALL(IF($B$1:$B$13=E1,ROW($A$1:$A$13)-ROW($A$1)+1),COUNTIF(E$1:E1,E1))),"")
Note Array formula ctrl+shift+enter after typing, then drag down to the right of your Large() revenue numbers.
Here's a screenshot of the second formula deployed in the event that you need to use it:

(while the first approach is simple, cell F3 is an example of where the additional complexity may be required)

We offer a Vet Scope system that allows you to see, on a 17" monitor, exactly what Dr.Mallard sees during a 12 system examination. This system allows us to offer a more thorough examination for your pet, and more precise diagnoses when they don't feel well.
For the health conscious American the annual checkup has become an important routine practice. Like people, dogs and cats benefit from routine examinations as well. There is one very important difference between the two; pets age much faster than people do.
In general dogs and cats reach adulthood by 2 years of age. At age 4, many pets are considered "middle aged", and by 7 years of age, most dogs and cats are entering their senior years.
Dogs and cats age or mature at a much faster rate than humans, approximately 7 years to our 1 year. This fact makes the wellness examination extremely important when detecting aging conditions and diseases that may need to be addressed by your veterinarian. There are many conditions such as: cancer, diabetes, arthritis, heart disease, and dental disease that increase with aging. The annual exam is paramount in the detection and treatment, or ideally, the prevention of problems before they become life-threatening.
The goal of the wellness examination is prevention. When your pet is examined regularly by a Veterinarian, they can help out pets avoid many preventable illnesses. The examination can also include many necessary screening for potential diseases. The screenings performed are based on individual pet assessment. Considerations all include the pets environment, diseases in the community, contact with other pets or wildlife, and other life style conditions.
The wellness examination of your pet also helps the Veterinarian develop a proper prevention program, to include vaccines, heartworm prevention, flea and tick preventative, parasites and other preventable conditions that vary by taking into consideration the specific pet examined. Only your Veterinarian knows you're pets medical history, current health status, and potential risks that your pet may face.
