The English youth international has found in the German Bundesliga team the perfect chance to grow up as a footballer.
Reiss Nelson is a product of Lewisham Borough and Arsenal's youth system.
The player tried to break into the Gunners first squad in 2017, but he wasn't able to do it.
He was then loaned for a year last summer to Hoffenheim in the German Bundesliga.
And this was the best decision ever for the player.
"It's crazy," he was quoted by the official Bundesliga site.
"It's just a case of keeping my feet on the ground, but I've enjoyed every minute so far," he added.
"I didn't feel that confident when I left Arsenal," he explained.
"We go out as a family to nice restaurants – life is good. I'll do my job as long as I'm here," he continued.
"Reiss has been back to give some of the young lads' advice and some mentoring," said Nelson's former teacher at the London Nautical School, Neil Atherton.
The 19-year-old is one of England's future promises, as he has played with every youth squad in his country.
He has yet to receive a call-up to the senior national team, but it's just a matter of time to see him defending the Three Lions jersey.


Step 2 − Create a stateless EJB having business me.
Step 3 −Update stateless EJB. Add methods to add records and get records from database via entity manager.
Step 4 − A console based application client will access the stateless EJB to persist data in database.
Let us create a test EJB application to test EJB database access mechanism.
1 Create a project with a name EjbComponent under a package com.tutorialspoint.entity as explained in the EJB - Create Applicationchapter. You can also use the project created in EJB - Create Applicationchapter as such for this chapter to understand EJB data access concepts.
2 Create Book.java under package com.tutorialspoint.entity and modify it as shown below.
3 Create LibraryPersistentBean.java and LibraryPersistentBeanRemote as explained in the EJB - Create Application chapter and modify them as shown below.
6 Now create the EJB client, a console based application in the same way as explained in the EJB - Create Application chapter under topic Create Client to access EJB. Modify it as shown below.
In testStatefulEjb() method, jndi lookup is done with the name - "LibraryStatelessSessionBean/remote" to obtain the remote business object (stateful ejb).
If the user enters 1, the system asks for book name and saves the book using stateless session bean addBook() method. Session Bean is persisting the book in database via EntityManager call.
Then another jndi lookup is done with name - "LibraryStatelessSessionBean/remote" to obtain the remote business object (stateful EJB) again and listing of books is done.

In December 2019 I announced an initiative to advance Southeast Michigan's proposed Regional Transit Authority expansion. I tried to make the case for it from a standpoint of both common sense in economics and business. It didn't work, but I've remained interested and involved in the mobility conversation, and
Capstone Research and Adjacent Material
As I'm finishing my MBA, I'm working on a bunch of research around the future of mobility infrastructure. This is leading me to all kinds of wild and crazy material, some of which I am writing up here:
Jan. 19, 2021: From Fantasy To Innovation: The Autonomous Car in Film History
2019-2020 RTA Commentary
During my advocacy around the RTA proposal, I chronicled my work with Detroit-based Transportation Riders United and other partners. I also wrote up related and unrelated articles about mobility in Southeast Michigan and beyond.

The APTA is a great resource for fun facts on public transit. CityLab also covers transportation issues, as does Streetsblog. Or, read some books! Alex Davies' Driven, Jarrett Walker's Human Transit, John & Julia Davenport's Ecology of Transportation, and others that I'll be posting reviews of here as I finish them. Remember to support independent journalism!
TRANSIT COALITION
Separate from Handbuilt's growing subscriber base, we are working on building an informal coalition of businesses, nonprofits, and individual supporters to demonstrate broad public support for transit expansion. As they advocate for our cause, so, too, do we advocate for them. The first step in building the coalition involves agreeing to a common vision statement on what transit means for the region. Here's the working draft:
"We, the undersigned, support efforts to improve transit infrastructure, service, and connectivity in Southeast Michigan as a means to facilitate individual mobility, talent retention and attraction, and to contribute to the sustainable development of regional workforce, communities, and the built environment. We believe in the need for comprehensive, well-maintained, and adequately funded infrastructure that allows for the safe, affordable movement of every citizen, in the transportation mode of their choice, to and from their homes and places of business, study, or worship. We believe in pursuing solutions that will strengthen the competitiveness of Southeast Michigan, reduce regional carbon footprint from transportation, and increase economic access for all."
Members of the coalition include the Detroit Bus Company, energy and sustainability consultancy EcoAchievers, the Michigan Minority Contractors Association, Southwest Detroit Business Association, and more.

Step 6 -

Clear cache and deploy files again

But the slider is still not showing up for recently viewed products in frontend
Please help me in correcting the code or creating a module to show recently viewed product with slick slider :)

A: You need to correct your step 2 make as below, Keep requirejs-config.js file in root of your theme instead of web folder.
Create requirejs-config.js file in
app/design/frontend/_YOUR_VENDOR_/_YOUR_THEME_/

with the following code in requirejs-config.js
 var config = {
    paths: {
        slick:        'js/slick'
    },
    shim: {
        slick: {
            deps: ['jquery']
        }
    }
};

Run

php bin/magento setup:upgrade
php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy

A: Use below code:

A: Incase anyone else needs to do this, here's what I did for Magento 2.3.2. The Recently Viewed widget gets added via knockout, which fires after all the other javascript. So to apply slick I had to use the "afterRender" custom binding.
Once I found which knockout template and viewmodel js recently viewed products used it was pretty straight forward. Here's my code:
Copy vendor/magento/module-catalog/view/base/web/js/product/list/listing.js to your theme like  app/design/frontend/[Vendor]/[Theme]/Magento_Catalog/web/js/product/list/listing.js
Make sure jquery/slick is added to the top of the script file, like so (this is assuming you've already added them to require-config.js):
define([
    'ko',
    'underscore',
    'Magento_Ui/js/grid/listing',
    'jquery',
    'slick'
], function (ko, _, Listing, $) {

Add a new function like so:
pdpRvSlickInit: function(){
        $('.block-viewed-products-grid .product-items').slick({
            dots: false,
            infinite: true,
            speed: 300,
            slidesToShow: 3,
            slidesToScroll: 3,
            responsive: [
                {
                    breakpoint: 960,
                    settings: {
                        slidesToShow: 2,
                        slidesToScroll: 2
                    }
                }
            ]
        });
    }

Now copy the knockout HTML template to your theme. Copy /vendor/magento/module-catalog/view/base/web/template/product/list/listing.html to app/design/frontend/[Vendor]/[Theme]/Magento_Catalog/web/template/product/list/listing.html I added a new Div, but I'm not sure you need to do that. I added this:

Before the last closing div. Hope that helps.

A: requirejs-config.js should be as below
var config = {
    paths: {
        slick: 'js/slick.min'
    },
    shim: {
        slick: {
            deps: ['jquery']
        }
    }
};

New thread line for the upcoming JL Odyssey series, beginning in August.
I am all on board the Snyder Justice League and the James Tynion Justice League Dark (Wonder Woman, Detective CHimp, Zatanna, Swamp Thing and Man-Bat) but I have no desire whatsoever to buy Justice League Odyssey. Williamson's creator stuff is fine, but I have not enjoyed his Flash at all and add in the fact that this "team" will consist of four characters I have little but apathy for (Cyborg, Starfire, Azreal and Jessica Cruz) and I just don't see a pull for me. Best of luck to them all, however!!
Okay, I lie, there is one strong reason to buy it, but sorry Sejic, I will just go look at your other creator stuff and it will have to do. However I have a feeling you won't be on this title long, even though you deserve as long a run as you want, so I'll be seeing your gorgeous work soon, elsewhere.
I'm not excited about this Justice League / Titans reboot anymore. Except for Dark and maybe Legion of Doom.
Even though it has Starfire and Cyborg, I'm not excited about this team. However, the premise is what I want to read. WHY would this odd group follow Darkseid? I'll get the first arc and go from there.

5 Books from Top Shelf Publishing That I Like That Weren't Mentioned In The Press Release Today
January 7, 2015 admin	1 Comment
The big news in the comics industry today is that IDW Publishing, known for its diverse lineup of periodicals and reprint projects, has acquired 'indy' publisher Top Shelf Productions. it's an interesting fit, and after thinking about it all morning I think it'll be a good one for both companies long-term, and I wish all involved well. I also want to send a special shout-out to my friend Brett Warnock, ex of Top Shelf, who announced his retirement from comics today. Best of luck, Brett.
Reading the press release, I could tell it was very, very well-crafted. This is a move that had seemingly been in the offing for a good long while, and from the extensive FAQ to the prepared quotes to seemingly covering every single base except one (Alan Moore-related), that this was a public-facing statement that all involved had given a good deal of thought to. In particular, I thought the listing of successful books from Top Shelf–March, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, From Hell, Blankets, Swallow Me Whole, and Essex County, was probably a smart move too. The books have all made a great sales impression in the marketplace, and all of the names and titles bandied about are likely to be familiar and have positive associations for booksellers (particularly the Direct Market)… but to me anyway, Top Shelf has always been a really diverse publisher, with some great books off the beaten path. I thought it might be nice to showcase a few picks from their catalogue by creators not featured in today's press release, and tell you a little bit about why I think they're worth your time. All of these books are still in print, and available from finer retailers and comic book shops.
Blue, by Pat Grant. $14.95.
It's rare that a comic is genuinely and consistently unsettling, but Pat Grant's Blue manages to accomplish just that in spades. While it can be easily reduced to a parable about race and assimilation–it reminded me a lot of the film District 9, which was released in close proximity to it–the narrative is very pointed, the characters embarassingly human. There's some really brilliant cartooning in there as well, and the 2-colour presentation is the icing on the cake.
Chester 5000, by Jess Fink. $14.95.
I really love Chester 5000! This sensual and sexy wordless story about men and ladies and robot men in various romantic and sexual entanglements is a heck of a lot of fun, a bit of classy smut for your coffee table or bookshelf (depending on how 'out' you are about your classy smut). I particularly like how inventive it is–it feels unrestrained, like Fink is constantly upping the ante for her characters, her audience, and herself. The story has continued online past this first volume, so I hope a second volume is on the way soon!
Fox Bunny Funny, by Andy Hartzell. $10.
This one bypasses 'unsettling' and heads right into 'disturbing' territory, and makes the story all the better for it. This wordless parable about identity (sexuality? gender? class? race? all of that and more?) is made all the more visceral thanks to the anthropomorphics involved–you're either a fox, or a bunny. Bunnies are society's prey, and a good fox hunts and devours them. But when a young fox wants to BE one of the bunnies, it brings his whole world crash down. I'm still not entirely sure what to think of this one, but I think about it a lot.
Jack's Luck Runs Out, by Jason Little. $3.50.
Wow, it may have actually been 8 or 9 years since I read Jack's Luck Runs Out, but a quick refresher on Jason Little's website beecomix.com I remember this story of a small-time screw-up pretty well. But what has stayed with me, and why I recommend it, is the absolutely incredible presentation of this comic, in bold primary colours and using the style and iconography of playing cards. It's a perfect match to its Vegas setting, and now I wanna go read the whole thing again. Fun-fact: This project was the first full-colour project to be awarded a Xeric Grant.
Moving Pictures, by Kathryn & Stuart Immonen. $14.95.
This book has the honour of being one that, after I finished it, I started right back at the beginning and read it through again. With two timelines that converge on one another, very deft and clever dialogue, and so much of the story conveyed through the imagery, this is a book worth paying very close attention to. Twice. It's 'about' hiding priceless works of art from the Nazi's in occupied Paris, but there's so much else going on too. A real gem.
Bonus: Superfuckers #1-7, by James Kochalka. $7.
This shit is awesome. James Kochalka comes up with a teen superhero team that actually look and sound like teens. They are appropriately reprehensible. It was recently animated into a Youtube series, but the comics are fucking hilarous. This was my favourite comic book series when it was coming out, I hope Kochalka goes back to it at some point.
Bonus #2: Mirror of Love, by Alan Moore and Jose Villarrubia. $19.95
This is not really a comic, and doesn't count for my list since Alan Moore's name is all over today's press release, but I did want to mention this excellent 'picture book for grownups'. The Mirror of Love matches Alan Moore's epic poem about the history of homosexual attraction with the frankly beautiful photography of my friend Jose Villarrubia and creates a stunning package. A strange project for Top Shelf, and subsequently I don't think it gets the attention it deserves, but excellent nonetheless.

La chapelle Saint-Michel de Sournia (Sant Miquèl de Sornhan en occitan, Sant Miquel de Sornia en catalan) est une chapelle préromane du  située à Sournia dans le département français des Pyrénées-Orientales en région Occitanie.

Cette chapelle du  constitue, avec les chapelles Saint-Martin-de-Fenollar, Saint-Jérôme d'Argelès, Saint-Laurent de Moussan, Saint-Nazaire de Roujan et Saint-Pierre de Léneyrac à Ceyras, un témoin de l'architecture préromane de tradition wisigothique en Septimanie, région qui correspond aux actuelles régions du Roussillon et du Languedoc qui ont fait partie intégrante  du royaume wisigothique de Toulouse (419-507) et du royaume wisigothique de Tolède (507-711).

Elle se situe plus précisément dans le Fenouillèdes qui constitue la partie occitane du département.

Localisation
La chapelle se situe non au village mais à  au sud-ouest de celui-ci, isolée au milieu des bois.

Toponymie
La chapelle est connue sous le nom de Sant Miquel de Valleta, du nom Villa Valleta (mentionné en 1011) désignant alors une propriété au sein d'un vallon ou d'une petite vallée.

Historique

Mentionnée en 965, la chapelle était alors possession de l'abbaye Saint-Michel de Cuxa.

La chapelle fait l'objet d'un classement au titre des monuments historiques depuis le .

Dans un état de ruine très avancé, l'édifice a été fortement restauré dans les années 1980 .

Architecture
L'édifice est constitué de deux nefs accolées, couvertes par une charpente et communiquant entre elles par deux ouvertures.

La nef septentrionale, la plus ancienne, se termine à l'est par une abside de plan trapézoïdal voûtée.

La nef méridionale, plus étroite, lui est postérieure. Elle est dotée à l'est d'un chœur de plan outrepassé voûté en cul-de-four et présente, au niveau du portail méridional, du portail occidental et de l'arc triomphal, plusieurs arcs outrepassés (arcs en fer à cheval) hérités de la tradition wisigothique.

Les arcs outrepassés de Saint-Michel de Sournia sont d'un type particulier : ils sont nettement plus grands que la porte qu'ils surmontent et donnent à l'ensemble la forme d'une serrure. On les dénomme parfois pour cette raison « arcs en serrure ».

Accolées au mur ouest se dressent les ruines d'une ancienne tour, vraisemblablement antérieure à l'ensemble de la chapelle.

Invesco hits back after accusation over bail out
By David Thorpe
Fund giant Invesco has called in lawyers after its head of UK equities Mark Barnett was accused of bailing out one of his investments.
The US hedge fund Muddy Waters yesterday (August 8) published a 25 page report on Burford Capital alleging the UK-listed litigation finance firm had "egregiously" misrepresented its returns in recent years.
Invesco is the largest shareholder in the business, with the stakes held through Mr Barnett's UK Income and High Income funds.
The report alleges Mr Barnett "bailed out" Burford Capital after one of the firm's investments went wrong.
In response, Invesco issued a statement rejecting any allegations of improper conduct.
The statement said: "Invesco notes the research paper published by Muddy Waters - we categorically refute any accusation of improper or unethical behaviour on behalf of Invesco or fund manager Mark Barnett.
"Invesco has been a long term shareholder of Burford Capital and held investments in Napo since 2006. These investments were made and overseen in line with our robust investment and independent oversight processes. Invesco's legal advisers are reviewing the accusations and we expect we will be able to make a broader statement in due course."
Burford Capital, which is also a major investment for Neil Woodford, saw its share price fall from £13 to £6 over the past two days, following the publication of the report.
The report alleges cash invested by Mr Barnett in a company called Napo was used to repay Burford.
Burford Capital makes money by investing in civil litigation cases in the US. One of the cases it funded involved Napo, a pharmaceuticals company, which went on to lose its case.
But Napo separately owed Burford Capital money and it then merged with another company and issued new shares, with Burford receiving cash and shares to settle the debt.
Muddy Waters alleged Mr Barnett's UK funds were behind the transaction and helped fund it.
Burford then included this outcome as a profit in its annual statements, despite it having funded a legal case that was lost.
Burford Capital has also denied the claims, saying: "Burford uses the same IFRS accounting that is used widely across the financial services industry and has used consistent accounting policies for many years."
Invesco is the largest shareholder in Burford Capital, with a 13 per cent holding, while Mr Woodford is the second largest holder.
The 30.3m shares are presently worth about £190m, from about £393m prior to the publication of the short sellers report.
The Invesco Perpetual UK Income fund has lost 12 per cent over the past year to August 8, compared with a loss of 4 per cent for the average fund in the IA UK All Companies sector in the same time period.

so true...brio with a diesel engine could do wonders for honda.
BMW could have done more than just restyling the bumpers.of the x3.... mercedes doing the same with ML...enough to keep the cars fresh for 2014.
If u r gonna spend more time behind the wheel than being chauffer driven then u should definitely go with brimmer...also that it just recieved a mid-life facelift... else u could go for the jag which has better brand value.


There's something magical about spending a few days in a 300-year old city that isn't (a) in Europe or (b) on the East Coast of the United States. San Antonio – the seventh largest city in the U.S. and the second largest in Texas (after Houston) – turns 300 this year and is looking very good for its age.
This year for Spring Break – rather than head to a beach where the weather still might be iffy in early April – we decided for something less traditional. None of us had been to San Antonio before (although it's been on our list for nearly 20 years). After working a little magic with some miles and points accumulated over the last few months, this year we headed to Texas.
San Antonio's famed Riverwalk is all it claims to be, and more. How it can be both exciting and calm, peaceful and energizing at the same time is beyond me – but that's the Riverwalk.
I wasn't sure what to expect after all I'd heard about the Riverwalk, but it is both impressive and more sprawling than I ever imagined. Lined with restaurants, shops, and hotels in some sections, and yet graced with nothing but lovely landscaping in others, it meanders through San Antonio. A recent extension even reaches to the bustling Pearl District – we didn't walk that far but marked it for a return trip.
Another colorful destination – mainly for food and shopping – is San Antonio's Market Square. We visited on a weekday, mid-morning, and candidly it was pretty quiet and there wasn't a lot going on. But we munched on some fresh churros and meandered through the shops. Next time we'll make it back during an evening or on a weekend for a livelier experience.
Early in our family travels we found out if we weren't careful, we could miss a lot of cool things by hovering too close to the places that we initially became familiar with in a new city. We like to walk, aren't big on taking cabs or Uber when we can take our time and see neighborhoods and the connecting points between sights. But the psychological pull of "that's too far" is always there.
So, we always try to find the high point – the tower, the bridge, the skyscraper – to get a top of the world view of where we are spending time. In San Antonio, that is the Tower of the Americas.
The Tower of the America is located a ten-minute walk from what's considered San Antonio's "main downtown area," and provides a 750-foot high panoramic view of San Antonio. Simply spectacular views. And, it served the purpose of helping us tie in all the parts and pieces of the Riverwalk we'd already strolled, along with a couple of areas we still wanted to visit. We arrived an hour or so before sunset and caught the magnificence of the Texas sunset and afterward a delightful stroll through the park on our way to dinner.
Ok, ok , ok – but what about the Alamo? Yeah, well that's one of the things we came to see, and we saw it.
The thing was – and maybe this is sacrilege – but it wasn't all that big or impressive. Now, I know that the original Alamo Mission was much, much larger, and basically all that remains is the church, the iconic building that is universally known as The Alamo. And I know that the battle of the Alamo played a key part in Texas history and the shaping of the American Southwest.
But perhaps it's because the edifice and grounds are treated as so sacred that the stories of the people who fought there failed to come to life for me. And yes, we read the plaques and the displays, we shelled out $15 a head for a one-hour guided tour that was replete with historical facts and details, and we went inside the edifice and saw it in detail. But the history just didn't come alive. The kids begged to leave. Not a sign of a great historical monument. And a missed opportunity in my mind.
The City of San Antonio and the State of Texas have purchased several properties surrounding the Alamo and intend to improve the site. They want to give visitors a sense of how large and lively the original mission was, and perhaps that will help.
But while we went to San Antonio to see the Alamo, it's at the bottom of our list of San Antonio memories.
Great airport, easy to navigate, helpful and friendly people everywhere.
Walk, walk, and walk some more – don't try to see the city by car or cab.
The city really came alive on Friday night after three pretty calm evenings before that.
We used the two-day hop-on, hop-off bus tour to scout out the area and to get to the Pearl District for lunch one day.
Rental car is not necessary, and parking in downtown San Antonio is challenging. Opt to walk.

ADFS 3.0 server is ready with realm set to SharePoint.
ADFS is registered with SharePoint as a trusted identity provider.
Server is ready for hosting asp.net provider hosted app.
Certificate is available in private, public part along with password.
In the development environment you can use a self-signed certificate, but you would need a commercial certificate when you publish your Apps to store. So we will create a self-signed one. In the IIS manager, click on Server Certificates.
Enter some meaningful name like HighTrustCert and Click on Ok.
Next, double click on the Certificate in IIS. Click on Details tab and click on Copy to File.
Now you should see the Certificate Export Wizard (remember earlier we exported the .pfx file). The first screen elucidate the significance of what we are doing. Keep Clicking Next across the three screens. Below screenshots demonstrate the same. I keep all the default options. Just one thing to mark that now we are now exporting the .cer file. I choose the same location. Click on Save.
Run SharePoint 2013 Management Shell as administrator. First thing first, you need an Issuer ID. An important point, it has to be Lowercase only.
Run the below PowerShell cmdlets to create trusted security token service.
IsTrustBroker: this flag ensures that you can use the same certificate for other apps as well. If you don't include this, you might receive "The issuer of the token is not a trusted issuer" error.
This will create a new MVC project.
Now Visual studio created two projects with in the same solution. MVCApp1 is the SharePoint App and MVCApp1Web is the remote webapp. Only artifact of the MVCApp1 is the appmanifest.xml. This is similar to what feature.xml to WSP. We provide the version, permission and startpage details of the app.
Make sure Windows authentication is enabled for web project, and check other settings as well.
Now you can directly debug the app by pressing f5. Now login to app using your windows credentials and trust the app. This will lead to sample app hosted from VS2013 if all the settings are right.
Copy the Personal Information Exchange (.pfx) and published files into the app catalog server.
Enable the required features (refer the below screenshot) through "Add Roles and Features" in Server Manager.
Import the Certificate, IIS -> Server Certificates -> then click "Import" link in the right top.
Create a Website in IIS. Right click in "Sites" then choose "Add Website".
In the "Add Website" window, enter the proper site name, select the physical path (C:\inetpub\wwwroot\eBizApps) and then click "OK" button.
Select the site name (ex. eBizApps), click the "Bindings" link in right side.
Browse this site using Internet Explorer. The site will open.
The App Domain is the domain name set on the remote web application server's IIS Site that will be hosting this app.
Access a team site and selected site contents and clicked Add App.
Click on it and click Trust It . Note: If it errors on this step and you're logged in as the system account, try again using a non-system account.
After install, test by clicking on the app.

Q: Newly created azure subscription not available in portal I have an old (+2 years) Azure account that I used in the past for testing purposes.
Today I sign-up again and created a new subscription of type "Windows Azure MSDN - Visual Studio Professional", and canceled the existing subscription.
Now, in the Portal, the new subscription is not available in the respective drop-down, when I try to create any service.
Instead, the only available subscription in the drop-down is the canceled one (which is not selectable).
I was expecting that a new subscription should be available in the Portal immediatelly. Is it normal to take some hours?

A: It turns out that I have a second account and the new subscription is visible on that second acount!
Both accounts are linked somehow and I was not aware.

CD244 (Cluster of Differentiation 244) is a human protein encoded by the  gene. It is also known as Natural Killer Cell Receptor 2B4

This gene encodes a cell surface receptor expressed on natural killer cells (NK cells) (and some T cells) mediating non-major histocompatibility complex (MHC) restricted killing. The interaction between NK-cell and target cells via this receptor is thought to modulate NK-cell cytolytic activity. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
CD244 can also be expressed on non-lymphocytes such as eosinophils, mast cells and dendritic cells.

Water is the key to preventing kidney issues, which are common in elderly cats. Always have fresh water available and pair her food with water.
Keep your aging cat's nails neat and trim. Nails become more brittle as cats age and they can crack, chip and cause pain. To keep your cat comfortable, check her nails regularly and clip them when they're getting long.
Cats are very good at hiding their emotions or pain. If yours is in pain, she isn't going to come to you and ask for help. It's up to you to keep an eye on her behavior. If your cat is more reclusive than usual, or if she seems more sedentary, make an appointment with the vet. There's a good chance she's feeling uncomfortable and that discomfort could be due to a bigger, underlying issue that may need treatment.
Like human bodies, the bodies of aging cats experience muscle waste. To fight this problem, encourage your cat to eat as much as possible. Instead of giving her just one large meal a day, give her several smaller meals throughout the day. This switch will ensure she's getting the protein, nutrients and fats she needs to stay healthy.
If your cat is approaching 10 years of age, be aware of the extra care she'll need. Aging cats, like humans, need extra love and attention to live a comfortable, happy life.

Now we want to find a flat base, which is difficult to find. EASILY new this information, I would of picked a diverse table.
Absolutely love them! These were the perfect height and pop of color my kitchen was requiring! I was honestly expecting them to be a little uncomfortable, but they are amazingly comfy! My husband was even shocked!
