We've had our Great Pyrenees, Buddy since mid-December. He's about 3 years old and as far as we know, has never been near water before until this past week. Since most of the time we've had him, it's been far too cold to be near water let alone on it, we haven't had much of an opportunity to get him used to it. With the cottage coming up in a week (boat access only), I decided we needed to try to get him used to the idea of being out on the water.
Unlike retrievers, spaniels, poodles and newfs, Great Pyrenees were never bred for anything related to the water. They are a breed that has 4000 years of history guarding sheep flocks in the French mountains from bears and wolves. Very few would have had any contact with water beyond a mountain stream or two. They are also extremely stubborn. They will usually try to make sure they get their way unless told otherwise. Patience is a virtue when training this breed. Buddy tends to pull against the leash if you try to get him somewhere he doesn't want to be. It took three of us to load him into the car the first time (he now has no problems with this). You can imagine how frustrating this would be on a dock if we didn't introduce him to the boat slowly before the cottage week. Worst-case would be 105 lbs of fluff pulling against a leash, either refusing to get on the dock or boat or panicking when the boat starts moving. To avoid this, we knew we had to get him used to it slowly.
The keys to a major new experience like this are to take as many baby steps as the dog needs, do not force the dog beyond what they're comfortable with, and carry a ton of small, high-value treats (we use dried beef liver treats that are available at Petsmart. They have no added ingredients, can be easily broken down into smaller training bits and Buddy loves them).
The first thing we did was bring him down to the boat launch without the boat just to see how he was with walking on the dock and around the water. We only needed to do this once, but would have done it as many times as needed to get him onto the dock and comfortable with the water at the base of the ramp. Reward the dog when he does something good that he's never done before and once he's calm enough to pay attention, do some basic training that the dog already knows on the dock, ramp or near the water.
The next thing was to do this again, but this time with a life jacket. It's important to always have a life jacket on the dog when they're in a boat. Some dogs don't mind, but others may find it uncomfortable. If your dog does not like getting dressed up, it may even be a good idea to put the life jacket on him when you're at home and have some play time while he wears it. Buddy didn't seem to care very much, so we just went straight to the dock with him wearing it on our second trip.
The next time, we had to get the actual boat involved. Matt backed the boat down the ramp, still attached to the trailer so it wouldn't jostle so much in the water. This was the part I was most concerned about. We got into the boat first, and making sure that he saw we had lots of treats, gently coaxed him in. He was definitely not sure and did try to pull back a little, but with reassuring high-pitched voices and the offering of treats, he did get himself into the boat. I used very light pressure on the leash to coax him in the direction I wanted him to go, but let him do the walking. It took about 20 minutes to gradually go from dog standing on the dock to dog lying down on the captain's seat.
It is VERY important not to drag the dog into the boat if he's not ready. This will create a bad experience and will make him want to get involved with the boat even less. Be gentle, calm, and always go at the dog's pace. We can't explain to them that being on the boat is fun and that it's all going to be okay and awesome, they have to trust us and learn it for themselves. Maintaining that trust as much as possible is crucial.
Once the dog is in the boat, you may want to get them used to other noises and activities as well before going out on the water. These could include turning the engine on and off and going through the range of throttles, loading and unloading the trailer and anything specific to your boat that would make a sudden movement or loud noise. Once the dog seems comfortable with the routine noises, smells and activity, you can try getting out on the water.
We just took Buddy for his second trip to the ramp with the boat, and we were able to get out on the water with him. Take it one step at a time, and always have one person who can act as the dog handler while the boat is being launched. Watch their body language carefully for signs of fear or panic and give treats after any change in conditions, such as speed, engine noise, wave patterns or other boats going by. On their first time out, they may stand up a fair bit, but since it's safer for them to be sitting or lying, this should be encouraged starting on the first trip out so good habits are developed. It's also a good idea when docking to have the dog stay on the boat until somebody on the dock invites them up.
Buddy, I can happily say, is now a boat dog. He may not be a HUGE fan of it, but I think he had fun sniffing the air as we breezed around the lake in Sunset Chaser. Each trip to the dock with the dog only needs to be 5-20 minutes. The same as you would for any training session. Many dogs can be excited and ready to get on the water on day 1, others may take a much longer time to get used to the idea. We managed it with Buddy, a 3-year-old-former-junkyard-dog rescue who had never seen a lake before, in 4 sessions (we could have done it in 3), the last one being an hour long exploring trip of Sydenham Lake. The captain's dog can finally ride with us.
The lifejacket question is always one that stirs up debate among dog-owning boaters.
If you're on a larger, slower boat, it's possible to make a valid case for not wearing lifejackets at all times - for dogs and humans alike.
That is emphatically not true of a small, fast boat like this one. If something bad is going to happen on such a boat, it is going to happen quickly, without warning, and with enough of a jolt to throw people and pets overboard. (And, if any dog bigger than a purse-rat happens to jump ship, it's very hard to muscle him back on board without the lifting handle on the back.) So, when the boat is underway, our rule is to wear lifejackets. Always. For everyone.

Guidelines for the editing of dissertations and theses: a survey of editors' perceptions
Kruger, Haidee
Bevan-Dye, Ayesha
This article presents the findings of an empirical study undertaken to investigate South African editors' perceptions of the tasks and responsibilities of the editor working with dissertations and theses. The general lack of explicit policy guidelines for the editing of dissertations and theses in South Africa, and the variation among sets of guidelines that do exist, create a possible ethical dilemma, with potential ramifications for the editor, the postgraduate student and the highereducation institution from which the qualification is to be obtained. As a first step in investigating this problem, this article examines editors' perceptions of the responsibilities of an editor working on dissertations and theses. An e-mail survey questionnaire was employed to solicit the opinions of a sample of editors on which tasks (of 63 generic editing tasks) and modes (of 9 modes of editing and querying) are appropriate to the editing of dissertations and theses. The data yielded by the questionnaires were analysed using descriptive statistics and significance tests. Based on this analysis, a list of tasks that respondents view as part of the mandate of an editor working with dissertations and theses is formulated. The findings of the study suggest that while editors view the majority of copyediting and stylistic editing tasks to be appropriate when editing dissertations and theses, the same does not hold true for structural and content editing tasks. In addition, some conclusions about appropriate modes of editing and querying are also presented, and some avenues for further research suggested

This Creepy 74-Year-Old Socialist Clown Will Terrify Your Misbehaving Kid For Cash!
Posted on November 8, 2015 by Les Roediger
Desperate parents in Burlington, Vermont have a new weapon in their arsenal for reining in misbehaving kids.
His name is "Wrinkles," and he's a creepy-looking clown who has been spotted at gatherings, in public and outside people's homes for the past few years, according to the Burlington Free Press.
Wrinkles's real face remains hidden beneath a distinctive mask with large black eye holes and receding white hair. He favors a polka dot onesie with black rubber gloves and he's rarely seen without a bundle of colorful balloons in one hand. A slight paunch gives him the unnerving appearance of a menacing, man-size baby who lurks in sewers and children's closets.
For a few hundred bucks cash, he told Burlington Free Press, he'll make an appearance at your party or gathering, prank your friend or even scare your misbehaving kid straight, as he was recently hired to do by one mother looking for a way to reform her trouble-making 12-year-old.
"He was scared of clowns and I showed up across the street from him at the bus stop and he just started crying in front of his friends and ran home," Wrinkles told The Free Press, somewhat remorsefully, in his heavy New England accent. "His mother called back a few days later and said 'Thank you!' Now when he acts bad, she just has to ask him: 'Do you want Wrinkles to come back?' "
Wrinkles declined to give his real name, but said he's a 74-year-old Brooklyn transplant and politician who worked various jobs throughout his career.
"It's fun," he told The Free Press. "You get to be someone else. You get some people who are petrified and some people who want you to come home with them."
For Wrinkles lovers, his appeal is partly a result of his terrible attitude. Unlike nice clowns who socialize children, Wrinkles isn't particularly fond of young people and got bored making "stupid little balloon animals," he said. In a world sanitized by glossy reality television shows and helicopter parents who obsess over their kids' feelings, Wrinkles considers himself a remnant of a forgotten past.
"I'm just a good old-fashioned clown," he said. "When I was a kid, it was okay to scare kids and now they're all whiny and scared."
"I want to bring scary back," he added.
And yet, sometimes scary comes to him, he noted. Wrinkles said he has received requests from people to help them dump a body and regularly receives explicit requests to engage in lurid behavior. He usually declines, he said, and noted that he accepts only cash and entertains serious requests for his services. Right now, he said, he's booked through November, 2016. "I'm hoping to have a new job by then" he said.
"I've got women calling me all the time," he said. "Young ones, too, like weird goths with chains and stuff. I've had plenty psycho women in my life already, but an occasional fling is nice."
Never tired of dumping a body or helping people live out their strange fantasies, Wrinkles said, he'd really prefer to do his act at the 2016 Presidential Inaugural Ball.
"I may be 74, but I can still cut a rug," he said.

Cilia make direct use of the differences in drag between cylinders moving normal compared to tangential to the fluid in generating motion. The movement of the cilia consists of a power stroke in which the cilia forms a cylinder with a motion normal to the fluid, and a recovery stroke where most of the cilia moves tangentially with respect to the fluid (Figure 13.4). Whereas flagellates typically have only one or few flagella, ciliates must have thousands of cilia to produce motion. They are typically arranged in rows in which the cilia beat in metachronical waves, i.e., waves formed by a slight phase lag between adjacent cilia. These waves seem to be fluid dynamical in origin because they can be explained largely through the viscous coupling of adjacent cilia [45,46].
Another important aspect of the functioning of the cilia is the proximity of the cell wall. During the power stroke, when the cilium is extended away from the cell wall, it is capable of carrying along with it a large envelope of fluid. During the recovery stroke, the cilium moves close to the surface of the cell, and because of the viscous interactions with the wall, the cilium cannot carry as much fluid with it. Hence, there is a net movement of fluid down the surface of the cell, which contributes to the motion of the organism . The fact that the ciliates move by moving fluid over the cell surface results in a much steeper velocity gradient over the surface than that found in inert bodies being pulled through the fluid by an external force, such as sedimenting organisms. Bodies pulled in this way carry more fluid along with them, and so they disturb the fluid much more than swimming cells [47,48]. Because predators may perceive prey through fluid dynamic signals such as shear [49,50], this reduces the visibility of the ciliates.
FIGURE 13.4 Movement of a cilium. The movement from position 1 to 3 constitutes the power stroke and from 3 over to 4 and 5 and back to 1 constitutes the recovery stroke. Movement purely related to the recovery stroke is drawn with dashed lines.
Flagellates, which pull an inert cell body through the fluid with a flagellum, do not have this advantage, but they are also typically smaller and slower. Hence, it is not clear under which conditions flagellates are hydrodynamically more visible than ciliates. Ciliates that have the cell body only partially, as compared to fully, covered by cilia could also generate a larger scale flow field around the cell body. Thus, it seems that the exact mechanism by which protozoa generate motion influences their relative visibility toward different types of predators and so influences their relative predation rates. Though this has important ecological implications, there have to my knowledge not been any thorough investigations of this phenomenon on protozoa. Only work on how foraging behaviors influence hydrodynamic visibility in copepods  and on how size and velocity of an assumed nonciliated particle affects its visibility  have been carried out so far.


Pleasing others or being judged by others does not influence young babies – they are completely spontaneous in their actions and reactions. Maybe it could be considered that babies are truly creative.
Children grow naturally – therefore, given the right environment most will grow into happy well-adjusted human beings. The carer's rule is to enhance the setting and respond to their interests, answer their questions, cater for their energy and let them emerge as sound adults. With babies, creative perception is active and immediate – it is taking advantage of the moment.
A baby is on his tummy on a mat on the floor. He brings up some wind, and along with it a small amount of partly digested milk.
Suddenly the carer scoops the baby up and the moment is over.
The baby is using all of his senses to explore his world and his actions were creative as far as he is concerned.
Babies use all their senses to explore their world to learn and to understand. A loving and caring environment secures and enriches the baby's world and encourages laughter and learning. When you think of 'creativity' as being a form of self-expression that is enjoyable and gives pleasure, you will appreciate how much the senses are involved in everything a baby does. Development always occurs in several areas at the same time.
Exploring a simple obstacle course with different textures.
Rolling a ball – with laughter and talk.
Using toys that can be handled.
Rolling on the mat and crawling over a pillow (and getting stuck and laughing).
Catching a balloon, trying to sit on it, feeling its texture.
Splashing in the bath, catching bubbles or playing in a basin of water.
Spontaneous singing when on the swing and in the sandpit, etc.
Listening and imitating the sounds all around them: birds, wind-chimes, other children playing.
Banging with a spoon on the high chair tray.
Encourage your child to hear the sounds of nature without background commercial music. Outdoor playtime does not need to be accompanied by music playing. 'Music' includes laughter, sounds of birds or wind. Talk to your child about all of the sounds you can hear.
Looking for an adult hiding under a blanket.
Reading and looking at pictures with an adult.
Playing peek-a-boo behind trees, etc.
Exposing the child's hand, face, feet to different textures.
Using language to compare the warmth of a bottle at bedtime or the feel of mother's breast.
A snuggle with teddy as he/she goes to sleep.
The warmth of a bath at the end of the day.
The splash in the bath when his/her feet hit the water.
The feel of sand as it runs through its fingers.
The lumps he/she can make when the sand is wet.
To develop creativity in children as they move into their second year, freedom of choice needs to be given. As in all areas of development, creative development does not stand alone. Given sufficient opportunities to experience new and well-tried activities and experiences, children will become creative in their own way.
Provide a variety of items that can be stacked, placed inside each other, used to dig or pour. Allow the child to make his/her own choices with these items. Whatever, he/she does, it will be his/her form of self-expression or creativity.
Give a two-year-old a cardboard box and watch their creativity emerge!
Below are some ideas that address the senses and can lead to creativity while meeting other developmental needs.
This can be your face with different expressions, with a variety of movements, with different hats, etc.
Pictures and mobiles above the child when in bed or over the change table.
Coloured streamers on the open window – allowing movement from the breeze.
Mirrors at child level or lift child up to the mirror.
Clear, simple (laminated) pictures at their level, that they can touch and feel.
Gentle bells children can hear.
Your voice singing a lullaby or song.
The voice that you use when you greet, say good-bye, even your 'baby speaking' voice.
Soft music at sleep time.
Dance music when you dance with your child.
Recordings of the child's singing, chattering, crying, sounds of the environment.
Recording of common animal sounds associated with pictures and language.
Soft warm toys compared to clod glass in window.
Rough texture of a carpet to smooth surface of a tiled floor.
Finger paint with different textures.
Food cooking in the kitchen.
Fragrance of flowers in the garden.
Taste is linked to smell. Toddlers are very aware of different tastes and often show strong likes and dislikes.
When an infant is introduced to a new food it is important that they are told the name of the food. Language development exists in all developmental areas.
How do you encourage your baby to make full use of their senses during playtime?

A Theory of Practical Meaning.Carlotta Pavese - 2017 - Philosophical Topics 45 (2):65-96.details
This essay is divided into two parts. In the first part (§2), I introduce the idea of practical meaning by looking at a certain kind of procedural systems — the motor system — that play a central role in computational explanations of motor behavior. I argue that in order to give a satisfactory account of the content of the representations computed by motor systems (motor commands), we need to appeal to a distinctively practical kind of meaning. Defending the explanatory relevance (...) of semantic properties in a computationalist explanation of motor behavior, my argument concludes that practical meanings play a central role in an adequate psychological theory of motor skill. In the second part of this essay (§3), I generalize and clarify the notion of practical meaning, and I defend the intelligibility of practical meanings against an important objection. (shrink)

Algorithmic Theories of Problems. A Constructive and a Non-Constructive Approach.Ivo Pezlar - 2017 - Logic and Logical Philosophy 26 (4):473-508.details
In this paper we examine two approaches to the formal treatment of the notion of problem in the paradigm of algorithmic semantics. Namely, we will explore an approach based on Martin-Löf's Constructive Type Theory, which can be seen as a direct continuation of Kolmogorov's original calculus of problems, and an approach utilizing Tichý's Transparent Intensional Logic, which can be viewed as a non-constructive attempt of interpreting Kolmogorov's logic of problems. In the last section we propose Kolmogorov and CTT-inspired modifications to (...) TIL-based approach. The focus will be on non-empirical problems only. (shrink)

The Psychological Reality of Practical Representation.Carlotta Pavese - 2019 - Philosophical Psychology 32 (5):785-822.details
ABSTRACTWe represent the world in a variety of ways: through percepts, concepts, propositional attitudes, words, numerals, recordings, musical scores, photographs, diagrams, mimetic paintings, etc. Some of these representations are mental. It is customary for philosophers to distinguish two main kinds of mental representations: perceptual representation and conceptual representation. This essay presupposes a version of this dichotomy and explores the way in which a further kind of representation – procedural representation – represents. It is argued that, in some important respects, procedural (...) representations represent differently from both purely conceptual representations and purely perceptual representations. Although procedural representations, just like conceptual and perceptual representations, involve modes of presentation, their modes of presentation are distinctively practical, in a sense which I will clarify. It is argued that an understanding of this sort of pr... (shrink)
Type-Theoretic Logic with an Operational Account of Intensionality.Shalom Lappin & Chris Fox - 2015 - Synthese 192 (3):563-584.details
We formulate a Curry-typed logic with fine-grained intensionality within Turner's typed predicate logic. This allows for an elegant presentation of a theory that corresponds to Fox and Lappin's property theory with curry typing, but without the need for a federation of languages. We then consider how the fine-grained intensionality of this theory can be given an operational interpretation. This interpretation suggests itself as expressions in the theory can be viewed as terms in the untyped lambda-calculus, which provides a model of (...) computation. (shrink)
Rich Situated Attitudes.Kristina Liefke & Mark Bowker - 2017 - Lecture Notes in Computer Science 10247:45-61.details
We outline a novel theory of natural language meaning, Rich Situated Semantics [RSS], on which the content of sentential utterances is semantically rich and informationally situated. In virtue of its situatedness, an utterance's rich situated content varies with the informational situation of the cognitive agent interpreting the utterance. In virtue of its richness, this content contains information beyond the utterance's lexically encoded information. The agent-dependence of rich situated content solves a number of problems in semantics and the philosophy of language (...) (cf. [14, 20, 25]). In particular, since RSS varies the granularity of utterance contents with the interpreting agent's informational situation, it solves the problem of finding suitably fine- or coarse-grained objects for the content of propositional attitudes. In virtue of this variation, a layman will reason with more propositions than an expert. (shrink)

On Two Notions of Computation in Transparent Intensional Logic.Ivo Pezlar - 2019 - Axiomathes 29 (2):189-205.details
In Transparent Intensional Logic we can recognize two distinct notions of computation that loosely correspond to term rewriting and term interpretation as known from lambda calculus. Our goal will be to further explore these two notions and examine some of their properties.
Natural Language Inference in Coq.Stergios Chatzikyriakidis & Zhaohui Luo - 2014 - Journal of Logic, Language and Information 23 (4):441-480.details
In this paper we propose a way to deal with natural language inference by implementing Modern Type Theoretical Semantics in the proof assistant Coq. The paper is a first attempt to deal with NLI and natural language reasoning in general by using the proof assistant technology. Valid NLIs are treated as theorems and as such the adequacy of our account is tested by trying to prove them. We use Luo's Modern Type Theory with coercive subtyping as the formal language into (...) which we translate natural language semantics, and we further implement these semantics in the Coq proof assistant. It is shown that the use of a MTT with an adequate subtyping mechanism can give us a number of promising results as regards NLI. Specifically, it is shown that a number of inference cases, i.e. quantifiers, adjectives, conjoined noun phrases and temporal reference among other things can be successfully dealt with. It is then shown, that even though Coq is an interactive and not an automated theorem prover, automation of all of the test examples is possible by introducing user-defined automated tactics. Lastly, the paper offers a number of innovative approaches to NL phenomena like adjectives, collective predication, comparatives and factive verbs among other things, contributing in this respect to the theoretical study of formal semantics using MTTs.

A New Logic of Technical Malfunction.Bjørn Jespersen & Massimiliano Carrara - 2013 - Studia Logica 101 (3):547-581.details
Aim of the paper is to present a new logic of technical malfunction. The need for this logic is motivated by a simple-sounding philosophical question: Is a malfunctioning corkscrew, which fails to uncork bottles, nonetheless a corkscrew? Or in general terms, is a malfunctioning F, which fails to do what Fs do, nonetheless an F? We argue that 'malfunctioning' denotes the modifier Malfunctioning rather than a property, and that the answer depends on whether Malfunctioning is subsective or privative. If subsective, (...) a malfunctioning F is an F; if privative, a malfunctioning F is not an F. An intensional logic is required to raise and answer the question, because modifiers operate directly on properties and not on sets or individuals. This new logic provides the formal tools to reason about technical malfunction by means of a logical analysis of the sentence "a is a malfunctioning F". (shrink)
Agnostic Hyperintensional Semantics.Carl Pollard - 2015 - Synthese 192 (3):535-562.details
A hyperintensional semantics for natural language is proposed which is agnostic about the question of whether propositions are sets of worlds or worlds are sets of propositions. Montague's theory of intensional senses is replaced by a weaker theory, written in standard classical higher-order logic, of fine-grained senses which are in a many-to-one correspondence with intensions; Montague's theory can then be recovered from the proposed theory by identifying the type of propositions with the type of sets of worlds and adding an (...) axiom to the effect that each world is the set of propositions which are true there. Senses are compositionally assigned to linguistic expressions by a categorial grammar with only two rule schemas, based on the implicative fragment of intuitionistic linear propositional logic, and a fully explicit grammar fragment is provided that illustrates the compositional assignment of sense to a variety of constructions, including dummy-subject constructions, infinitive complements, predicative adjectives and nominals, raising to subject, 'tough-movement', and quantifier scope ambiguities. Notably, the grammar and the derivations that it licenses never make reference to either worlds or to the extensions of senses. (shrink)
Constructive Belief Reports.Bartosz Więckowski - 2015 - Synthese 192 (3):603-633.details
The paper develops a proof-theoretic semantics for belief reports by extending the constructive type-theoretical formalism presented in Więckowski with a specific kind of set-forming operator suited for the representation of belief attitudes. The extended formalism allows us to interpret constructions which involve, e.g., iteration of belief, quantifying into belief contexts, and anaphora in belief reports. Moreover, constructive solutions to canonical instances of the problem of hyperintensionality are suggested. The paper includes a discussion of Ranta's constructive account of belief reports.

Methylnaltrexone bromide. Aust Prescr 2009;32:22-7. https://doi.org/10.18773/austprescr.2009.012
Some of the views expressed in the following notes on newly approved products should be regarded as preliminary, as there may have been limited published data at the time of publication, and little experience in Australia of their safety or efficacy. However, the Editorial Executive Committee believes that comments made in good faith at an early stage may still be of value. Before new drugs are prescribed, the Committee believes it is important that more detailed information is obtained from the manufacturer's approved product information, a drug information centre or some other appropriate source.
Relistor (Wyeth)
vials containing 12 mg/0.6 mL solution
Approved indication: opioid-induced constipation
Australian Medicines Handbook section 12.4.4
Constipation is one of the common adverse effects of opioid analgesics. This constipation is caused by several mechanisms such as altered smooth muscle tone in the gut.
Methylnaltrexone is related to the opioid antagonist naltrexone. Whereas naltrexone is particularly used to block the effects of opioids on the central nervous system, methylnaltrexone is more selective for peripheral opioid receptors. This is because adding a methyl group reduces lipid solubility which limits the molecule's ability to cross the blood-brain barrier. Blocking opioid receptors in the gut should relieve constipation without counteracting the analgesic effects of opioids.
While naltrexone is taken by mouth, methylnaltrexone has to be given by subcutaneous injection. It has a half-life of approximately eight hours and most of the dose is excreted unchanged, mainly in the urine. The dose is adjusted according to the patient's weight and is usually given on alternate days as needed.
A dose-ranging study was carried out in 33 patients receiving opioids for palliative care. For patients receiving a minimum dose of at least 5 mg the median time until a bowel movement was 1.26 hours. Almost half of these patients responded within four hours. Higher doses did not improve the response.1
A double-blind placebo-controlled trial was carried out in 133 terminally ill patients taking opioids and laxatives. They were given injections every other day for two weeks. A bowel motion occurred within four hours of the first injection in 48% of the methylnaltrexone group and in 15% of the placebo group. The median time between the injection and a bowel movement was 6.3 hours with methylnaltrexone, but more than 48 hours with placebo. After two weeks the response rate was 38% with methylnaltrexone and 8% with placebo. Pain scores were largely unchanged during the study.2
Patients given methylnaltrexone are more likely than those given placebo to complain of nausea, dizziness, flatulence, abdominal pain and increased temperature.2 Diarrhoea can occur and if it is persistent, treatment should be discontinued. The drug should not be used if the patient is suspected of having an obstruction of the bowel.
The longer-term efficacy of methylnaltrexone is uncertain because the patients in the trials had a limited life expectancy. At present methylnaltrexone is reserved for palliative care patients with opioid-induced constipation whose response to laxatives has been insufficient.

Most animal lovers understand that dogs are pack animals and yes, that includes teddy bear dogs. Long before they were domesticated, dogs traveled the earth in packs for safety, resources and protection.
Wild dogs, such as wolves and coyotes, can still be seen engaged in this type of instinctual behavior all over the world.
And there's one thing every pack has in common, they all have a leader that makes the big decisions.
If you want become the pack leader, you must learn how to gain control in every situation with absolute calm and certainty. Whether you have a pit bull, a poodle or even a teddy bear dog your pooch must understand that you are always in control, no matter what.
• Your furry family member isn't impressed with how much money you have, how well you are dressed or how big your house is. Don't be surprised when your dog doesn't recognize these as symbols of power and control.
• Simply sitting before they walk or waiting patiently for their dinner should not be sufficient evidence to show you that they believe you are their leader.
• Most importantly, trying to control your dog through dominance is never an effective solution. You are teaching your dog that aggression is normal – something that can end up having disastrous consequences. While you may get a submissive response from your dog, they will surely not recognize this type of behavior as that of a pack leader.
• Establish Control on Walks: Taking your dog(s) for a walk is the perfect opportunity to show them who is boss. You are likely to encounter a variety of situations (i.e. – other dogs, cars, people, lots of smells) and it is crucial to exhibit complete calm throughout the entire experience, no matter what happens.
• Good Indoor Behavior: Many dog owners will excitedly greet their dog every time they walk through the door. While this is undoubtedly a joyful time for both you and your dog, making a big deal out of your comings and goings leave them in a constant state of anxiety.
• Feeding Your Dog: Food is one of the most important parts of your dog's life. In the wild, the pack leader would always have complete control over hunting patterns and food rations.

Shanahan says restoring US-South Korea military drills isn't necessary

Acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan said on Sunday that he doesn't think it's "necessary" for joint military exercises between the U.S. and South Korea to be restored.
Shanahan said he'd been told that troops on the Korean peninsula "had the required military readiness despite the suspension of the exercises," Reuters reports. When asked about restoring them, he said, "I don't think it is necessary."
Exercises were suspended by President Donald Trump last year as a way to bolster talks with North Korea. Trump has also called the exercises too expensive. The decision was criticized as a premature concession to the regime, which has "long sought an end" to the exercises, per Reuters. The most recent meeting between Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in February failed to generate a deal, though Trump has since said that he has "confidence that Chairman Kim will keep his promise."
Shanahan said on Sunday that he wants "to make sure that the plan we put in place is sufficient," according to Reuters. He plans to meet with his South Korean counterpart, along with the head of U.S. forces in the country, on Monday.

Editor's Note: This article originally appeared on The Conversation.
In a series of bloody campaigns from 2014 to 2019, a multinational military coalition drove the Islamic State group, often known as ISIS, out of much of the Iraqi and Syrian territory that the strict militant theocracy had brutally governed.
But the Pentagon and the United Nations both estimate that the group still has as many as 30,000 active insurgents in the region. Thousands more IS-aligned fighters are spread across Africa and Asia, from the scrublands of Mali and Niger to the deserts of Iraq and mountains of Afghanistan, to the island jungles of the Philippines.
I keep track of the loose alliance of various global affiliates and insurgent groups collectively known as the Islamic State. It's part of my research chronicling America's wars in remote lands where I have worked for the CIA and the U.S. Army. I also monitor Islamic State activities around the world for a University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth project I lead called MappingISIS.com
In recent months, the Islamic State group has reconstituted itself in the Syria-Iraq region and continues to inspire mayhem across the globe.

Julius Bissier - Signs of Silence
The star of Julius Bissier, born in Freiburg i. Br. in 1893, first rose for a wider audience in 1958, when Werner Schmalenbach arranged a solo exhibition for him at the Kestnergesellschaft Hannover. Almost at the same time, his participation in the XXIX and XXX Biennials in Venice brought him a great deal of success. Biennale in Venice as well as at the documenta II in Kassel brought him international fame. Until then he was known only to a smaller circle, but the friend of Willi Baumeister, who won him over to abstract art, and closest confidant of Oskar Schlemmer, was able to develop and mature his own highly sensitive, musical style, which later secured him a singular position in art history. Inspired, moreover, by his encounters with the important collector of East Asian art Ernst Grosse - author of a standard Sinological work - the psychiatrist and art historian Hans Prinzhorn and the sculptor Constantin Brâncuși, he found a symbolic pictorial language: If in his early work he still cultivated a neo-objective style, which was also helpful to him during his Inner Emigration in the Third Reich, he already began in the early 1930s with ink works that were reminiscent of Zen Buddhist painting as well as of the ciphered imagery of the cultural historian Johann Jakob Bachofen. Although Bissier, who lived in seclusion in Ascona with his wife from 1961, always reveals a philosophical background in his mature work, his reduced world of signs has an immediate effect. However deep one could dive into Bissier's art, and would the gaze even just stick to the enchanting surface - both makes his art timelessly valid.


I just discovered that the U S Census Bureau has issued a new Atlas, which they say is their first since 1925. (The press release is dated January 31, did everyone else already know about this?) It's downloadable chapter by chapter as pdf's, which is great since it costs $165 in hardcopy. This is not new data, but a compilation of stuff that was already available, though I suppose many of the maps are newly-prepared. One might ask why it takes almost eight years after census day to prepare a report, but this one will not.
My favorite section, so far, is Chapter 2 on population distribution. There's a map showing when each county reached its maximum population. For hundreds, it was more than 50 years ago. Other county-level maps show population changes since 1980. These maps should be persuasive to any rational person who fears that the U. S. is becoming overpopulated. It is unfortunate that the Atlas doesn't contain tabulations to go with the maps, so I cannot tell you how many counties reached their peak population before 1960, nor by how much the total population of these counties has declined since the peak.


Situated on the old Great North Road, 130 miles North of London, between the Nottinghamshire market towns of Newark and Retford, the little village of Cromwell was known to the Romans who built a Villa here close to their two mighty highways the Fosse Way and Watling Street.
In 1882 workmen involved in improving navigation on the River Trent found remains of what they thought to be a Roman bridge at Cromwell, but archaeologists now believe that its origins were 8th Century Mercian.
The village is recorded in the Domesday Book (1086) as Crunwelle meaning 'Crooked Stream' from the Old English words Crumb and Wella.
Today the main A1 dual carriageway bypasses the village but the dull roar of the traffic is clearly audible in Cromwell's main street, a constant reminder of the village's long history as a resting place for travellers making their way up and down the country.
The village was the ancient seat of the Cromwell family. One of them, Ralph, Lord Treasurer under Henry VI lived in the very grand surroundings of Tattershall Castle in Lincolnshire. Thomas Cromwell was a Minister to Henry VIII and of course Oliver Cromwell remains the most famous republican in English history.
The population of Cromwell has seen noticeable fluctuations over the last two centuries with the total number of inhabitants falling from 203 in 1801 to only 111 in 1901 and then back up to almost 200 today.
Built progressively between the 13th and 15th Centuries, the Parish Church of St. Giles sits in the centre of the village with its old 17th Century Rectory, now Vina Cooke's wonderful Museum of Dolls and By-gone Childhood, next door.
There is no War Memorial in the Village and the local vicar, Reverend Sheila Dixon, explained that on Remembrance Day the local British Legion parade at another nearby village.
Records do not exist detailing how many of Cromwell's men went to the Great War of 1914 - 1918. All we do know is that all of them made their way back up the Great North Road to their home in the County of Robin Hood making Cromwell one of the four 'Thankful Villages' of the ancient County of Nottinghamshire.
Stoke Hammond suffered no fatalities in the Great War of 1914 to 1918 and was the only 'Thankful Village' in the County of Buckinghamshire.

really good flat white, much thinner, very silky and a good fusion of milk to coffee.
Just one blend, but a good one.
they were too busy to explain what roaster they were using.
Your lucky C-Man I went to Littlelane once and it was closed for 2 weeks when they went on holiday! Ended up with coffee club swill. It does seem to be busy. One day I might make it.
Anyway, I popped into Pioneer at Yandina which I don't get to do often due to the opening hours, and no Kate on the roaster! C-Man tells me she's gone, which I hope is not true! Her roasts were the most consistent on the coast IMO, and I had never had a bad bag once in all the years I've been buying there. Roasted a bit darker than the hippies at Noosa too who like it on the lightside.
Gone but not forgotten, she was really into what she did and did it with excellence.

MATTHEW LOGAN VASQUEZ (Delta Spirit) announces Debut LP SOLICITOR RETURNS – Listen to 'Maria'
December 17, 2015 · by Vandala	· in Daily Blog, New Releases, News, Recent Posts, Streaming.	·
Dine Alone Records is excited to announce a new album from Matthew Logan Vasquez. The LP titled Solicitor Returns will be released on February 9, 2016 with a pre-order beginning January 8. After a decade since founding critically acclaimed San Diego-bred five-piece Delta Spirit and performing with Middle Brother, this is Vasquez' first solo album and the follow-up to his critically acclaimed debut EP Austin. The new album finds Vasquez returning to the straightforward style of rock and roll he loves, playing nearly every instrument on the record. Check out the premiere of "Maria" and a special Q&A with Vasquez on Consequence of Sound HERE. Download "Maria" for free HERE.
"Matt's voice and words have that Nashville outcast vibe to it," says Jay Sweet, producer of the Newport Folk Festival and a longtime champion of Matt's music. "He's not California, he's not Texas, he's not Brooklyn—even though he's lived in all of those places. He's a transplant and a vagabond, which is why he embodies folk and rock music. For a singer-songwriter, he is truly refreshing."
Vasquez will perform a preview of the songs from his new LP and favourites from throughout his career in January at a series of solo residency shows around Texas. More tour dates supporting the LP will be announced soon, including Canadian dates and appearances at SXSW.

Just glad Boeser got a point.
Kinda reminds of that year when all they had to do was lose those three in games in SoCal, and finish last. But instead they win all three!
Those Swedes know how to milk it so they don't get traded.
Daniel quietly putting together another 20 goal season.
Both Sedins now at 40 points on the year. 50 point 3rd liners are nothing to sneeze at if they want to come back next season in a limited 5-on-5 capacity and to man the 2nd unit PP.
I don't know when this Thug Dank version showed up... maybe it was after he lost his teeth or maybe it was before this.
But he has quietly been one of the better Canucks. He's played with grit (for a Swede) and purpose. Best of all he's skating, gone to the net and is doing what he should have been doing all along... being a shooter instead of being another passer on the line. He showed sweet hands on both of tonight's goals.
He looks like he really wants to come back and play another year.
TBH, Daniel has been heads and shoulders better than Henrik during this stretch.
Like how Green had Boeser out there with Yotes empty net.
Daniel with 5 goals and 9 points in the last 7 games.
With our luck in the lottery, it's all good.

Q: ng-disabled overrides custom directive behavior I'm developing the AngularJS client. I've got a custom directive used as an attribute. The directive checks the access level of the element and sets it to be disabled if the current user is not allowed to use it.
The problem begins when the same element has ng-disabled attribute. In this case the ng-disabled sets the ability of the element, never mind of what I set in my custom directive.
For example I have a button that should be disabled in case the form is invalid. At the same time I'd like to use my custom directive in order to set the button to be disabled if the user doesn't have a permition to use it.
<button ng-disabled="myFrm.myCtrl.$invalid" my-custom-directive="controlName"/>

Inside myCustomDirective I check if the named control is allowed to be activated by the user. If not - I set the disabled attribute to the element. But in case  myFrm.myCtrl.$invalid is false  ng-disabled removes the disabled attribute and the button is enabled.
Is there any solution to this problem? How can I prevent from ng-disabled to perform its operation?

A: Does your example directive reflect how you applied your actual directive to the button element? I noticed that your example directive is not following the correct naming convention of making each upper case letter in the directive name a lower case letter with a leading hyphen. i.e. myCustomDirective should be applied to the button like so:

<button ng-disabled="myFrm.myCtrl.$invalid" my-custom-directive="controlName"/>

Otherwise your directive will not be complied or linked for that button.
The only other thing I could think of without seeing the actual code is the priority of the directive. According to the angular docs for the ngDisabled directive:

This directive executes at priority level 100.

By default custom directives have a priority of 0. As long as you have not changed this directive parameter your directive should be compiled after ng-disabled and linked after ng-disabled and therefore have the final say on whether or not the button is disabled or enabled.
-- EDIT --
You should add a watch to myFrm.myCtrl.$invalid as was suggested by another and reapply your directives rules whenever the value changes. You don't need to pass the whole controller into your directive though, you could simply use two way binding on myFrm.myCtrl.$invalid. I am not sure how $watch priority works yet. I am hoping that because your directive will be compiled first it will apply its watch on myFrm.myCtrl.$invalid after ngDisabled does and hopefully that means it will handle value changes of myFrm.myCtrl.$invalid after ngDisable does so that your directive has the final say on what rule is applied.

A: Finaly I've found a solution to my problem. Instead of watching ng-disabled variable I've totaly diconnected the ng-disabled from its variable. In order to do it I've set the ng-disabled to be allways true in my own directive. My directive is an attribute, so after I've tried some different ways to do it, the solution was to add in my directive constructor the following code:
this.isDisabled = "true";
this.attrs["ngDisabled"] = this.isDisabled;

It's very very important to set the this.isDisabled to "true" as a string and not boolean. Otherwise it doesn't work.

SendGrid has partnered with Amazon to offer our email services on the [Amazon Marketplace](https://console.aws.amazon.com/). Built for developers and designed for marketers, SendGrid offers developers simple SMTP and API integrations while non-technical users can leverage an intuitive interface to create, send, and analyze marketing emails.

Once you have an AWS account, you can to [subscribe to SendGrid](https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B074CQY6KB) and access it directly from the [AWS Management Console](https://console.aws.amazon.com/). Once you've subscribed to SendGrid, you have access to the [SendGrid application](https://app.sendgrid.com/) and the APIs. Use the AWS Management Console if you want to reset your password, cancel your account, or manage billing.

{% anchor h3 %}
Pricing
{% endanchor %}

There are two plans: AWS Basic, and AWS Pro. For more information, check out our[ AWS Marketplace page](https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B074CQY6KB). Here's a monthly view of cost:

![]({{root_url}}/images/aws_pricing.png "AWS pricing")

{% anchor h2 %}
Getting Started
{% endanchor %}

*To quickly get started with SendGrid:*

- See [Getting Started With Marketing Campaigns]({{root_url}}/User_Guide/Marketing_Campaigns/getting_started.html) for all of the tools you need to get started sending with the SendGrid application.
- Look at the [API Reference]({{root_url}}/API_Reference/api_v3.html) for all of the API endpoints as well as information about using SMTP and the Webhooks.
- See the [API Libraries]({{root_url}}/Integrate/libraries.html) page for information about using the SendGrid code libraries in C#, Go, Java, Node.js, PHP, Python, and Ruby.

{% info %}
**Warm up your sending** - Since ISP spam filters look at volume as a significant factor when determining whether or not you are sending spam, we recommend that you begin sending a low to moderate volume, eventually working your way up to larger volumes. This gives the receiving email providers a chance to closely observe your sending habits and the way your customers treat the emails they receive from you.

{% anchor h3 %}
Adding a Dedicated IP Address
{% endanchor %}

You can purchase IP addresses dedicated to your account. Since you are the only one sending email over this IP, your sending practices determine the sender reputation associated with this IP. You can purchase up to 3 IP addresses per month. If you need more than 3 IPs, then you should [contact support](https://support.sendgrid.com/hc/en-us).

You can only add a Dedicated IP Address if you are on an AWS Pro plan. To upgrade your plan, see [Upgrading or Downgrading Your Account](#-Upgrading-or-Downgrading-Your-Account).

*To add a dedicated IP Address*:

1. Navigate to the [Plan & Billing Details page](https://app.sendgrid.com/settings/billing) in the SendGrid UI.
1. Click **Add a Dedicated IP**.
   ![]({{root_url}}/images/dedicated_ip_button.png "Dedicated IP button")
   This takes you to the Dedicated IP Addresses page
1. Next, click **Add an IP Address**.
1. Select the number of IP Addresses to add, and select whether you want to warm up your IP automatically. Warming up an IP gradually increases the amount of email sent over this IP over time to improve your email deliverability. For more information, see [Warming Up IPs]({{root_url}}/Classroom/Deliver/Delivery_Introduction/warming_up_ips.html).
1. Click **Add**.

{% anchor h3 %}
Adding Domain and Link Whitelabels
{% endanchor %}

Whitelabeling shows ISPs that SendGrid has your permission to send emails on your behalf. Whitelabeling works by pointing DNS entries from your domain registrar to SendGrid, which drastically increases your ability to deliver email and allows you to begin building a sender reputation for your domain and for your IP addresses. For more information, see [our guides on setting up Domain and Link whitelabels]({{root_url}}/User_Guide/Settings/Whitelabel/index.html)

{% anchor h3 %}
Adding Subusers
{% endanchor %}

You can only add Subusers if you are on an AWS Pro plan. To upgrade your plan, see [Upgrading or Downgrading Your Account](#-Upgrading-or-Downgrading-Your-Account). Subusers are SendGrid accounts that belong to a parent account. They have their permissions and credit limits, which you assign as you create the subusers. Subusers help you segment your email sending and API activity.

To get started with using Subusers, see the [Subusers overview]({{root_url}}/User_Guide/Settings/Subusers/index.html).

{% anchor h3 %}
Upgrading or Downgrading Your Account
{% endanchor %}

You can upgrade or downgrade your account from the [SendGrid UI](https://app.sendgrid.com/settings/billing).

*To change your account plan:*

1. Navigate to the [Plan & Billing Details page](https://app.sendgrid.com/settings/billing)in the SendGrid UI.
1. Select Upgrade to AWS Pro, or Downgrade to AWS Basic.
