The only tiger I could find today for International Tiger Day.
International Tiger Day is a significant annual event that strives to draw attention to the plight of tigers and the critical need for conservation efforts. By working together globally, we can make a positive impact on tiger populations and ensure the survival of these iconic big cats in the wild.
For #57/123: International Tiger Day (July 29th)
5th December 2018:
I would have loved to have gone out today and this morning - first thing - it looked like I'd make it. Before it started raining again.
I really am running out of ideas for photos for the day. This is the logo on my back cream. Well, at least it's a photo and there isn't that long until the end of the year!
This might be better viewed large, or maybe not, but thank you for your favourites. :O)

My daughter took this lovely picture of our cat, Sparrow. The blue and purple object in front of him is an old sock with two cups of uncooked white rice inside. When the sock and rice are heated for one minute in the microwave, they can be used as a little heating pad to relieve pain. I made this for our pets after I read about dogs and cats with arthritis.

Life flows slowly in Laos, just like their Mekong river. The people are gentle and unassuming. Lao People are sincere attitude and very humility. They put both palm together in front when meet others. Lao people like smoking, chewing betel nut, and most of them like drink. Some monks are smokers, whilst they, in fact, should be used as non-smoking role models. But there is no anti-smoking policy in temples. Elderly men like to smoke weed grown by the banks of the mighty Mekong River. Most of Laos are Buddhists. They eat relatively simple. Normally they eat rice and fish, the pork and lamb is for celebrate a festival Lao people prefer slightly acid, spicy and sweet flavor. Lao's characteristics meals are bamboo rice, Palm rice and so on. Most of the elderly enjoy the opium pipe in the evenings. They say it helps to relieve the aches and pains of old age and feel they earned this right after a lifetime of backbreaking work in the fields.
Photo of a man smoking marijuana in front his home in Kieng Than Lei. This little village is located on the Bolaven Plateau and is a great place to explore some of the lesser-known areas of the southern region of Laos. The Elderly men in Laos like to smoke. Smoking is higher among males 68% than females 16%. The highest smoking rate was reported in Southern Laos 53%.Smoking rate was higher in rural area 45% than urban areas 27%. Smoking rate was higher among the older age groups.
The number of smokers will double by the year 2020 unless the Government take effective action now. In Laos, more than 68 per cent of adult men are smoking. Laos is also the world's third largest producer of opium, a narcotic whose cultivation was encouraged by former French colonial administrators and the medicinal use of which remains common for pain relief. Medical experts warn that while opium is not as readily addictive as its derivative, heroin, withdrawal symptoms are painfully similar. Long criticized by the United States and other nations for weak anti-narcotics laws, Laos outlawed opium smoking less than a decade ago. The exact number of foreign opium smokers in Laos is impossible to determine, but conversations with young Western travelers suggest that many have tried or intend to try opium at least once during their visit here.
Twenty Three - I am away at the moment and just downloaded the 'Hipstamatic' App. Thought I'd give it a go. This goes totally against the grain for me and is straight off my phone with no processing.
Some of these old cures will kill you rather than cure you. Vincents or a Bex and a good lie down. Or perhaps some chocolate coated strychnine sulphate tablets might do the trick
When things go wrong hold tightly here.........DAD, Lifetime Guarantee.........Better than taking the Knee. This one works.
This is not what I had planned for today but I've hurt my back. At the moment it's painful to do anything more than rest and take pain killers.
It is hard putting into practice advice you give to others. As a social services professional for the past 10 years I have provided direct care services for many who were grieving the loss of a loved one. As much as I tried to prepare myself for the day my parents would no longer be with me physically on this earth, when that day came for my mom, I was not prepared. On 10.19.21 at approximately 5am, I held her hand and felt her take her last breath of life. She looked so calm and at peace.- a sleeping beauty.
I am deeply rooted in my faith and have very strong spiritual base. As painful as it was to feel her leave me I felt a calmness overcome me in those moments. it was just her and I, pretty much as it has been for the pass five years when my dad had to go to a care facility due him suffering from a stroke that left him paralyzed. The hours, days and weeks that have followed since "that day" have been unbearable. To say the pain cuts deep is an understatement.
I am thankful for the 85 years she lived on this earth and the love she showed me and our family. She and I talked about this time. I have an assignment which I must complete. She would want me to do as she asked. I will continue to be an obedient daughter.
She will be missed. Although her death was very much unexpected, it would be selfish of me to want her to remain here on earth but live the remainder of her time suffering in pain and agony. She lived a full blessed life. Now she is amongst the other angels looking over us. She will forever live in our hearts.
What has helped me is journaling my feelings and connecting with my photography. I am not looking forward to my new normal but with faith, prayer and my support system I will keep pushing forward. {Random Thoughts 11.9.21}.

Compensation for that horrible image won't come cheap and a photo of one car won't do it. Here is a line of Ferrari to take the pain away!
I woke up in agony today.
I've had a hurty right shoulder for sometime, and it was terrible this morning. Back in August my rheumatologist kindly squeezed me in his busy schedule to steroid jab me before my holiday. But it didnt change anything, certain movements remain exceptionally painful.
Of course I try not to do those movements - I didnt remember it but maybe in my dream I had been on a mammoth shopping expedition, (armed with a heavy camera bag), where I visited every shop in every town and had to try on thousands of tight fitting jackets. When Id eventually got one, I went off bowling, I did silly dances each time I got a strike. After all that fun, I headed to my shift as a ground-crew personnel. In the bitter cold I enthusiastically waved two table tennis bats about, for my 30 hour shift.
No wonder it hurt.
A hot bath, I thought. Before work - too soothe it. It was then that I remembered today's challenge so I whipped out my tripod and took this. This is what I wanted to happen, some tingly goodness rubbed all over with a magic towel, after a hot soak, to make me feel all lovely again.
Thanks to David Gunter for the GIMPED sparkles!

"F. W. Dallas, 125 Princes Street, Edinburgh."
From Wikipedia: "Sir James Young Simpson, 1st Baronet (7 June 1811 – 6 May 1870) was a Scottish doctor and an important figure in the history of medicine. Simpson discovered the anaesthetic properties of chloroform and successfully introduced it for general medical use.
"James Simpson was born in Bathgate, West Lothian, the youngest of seven children, Thomas, John, Alexander, David, George (died young), and a sister Mary. His parents were Mary Jarvey (also known as Jarvie) and David Simpson, originally a baker in Bathgate who became an accountant in the Bathgate branch of the Royal Bank of Scotland. James received his initial education at the local school, but because of his obvious abilities his father and brothers (his mother died when he was 9) together paid for a college education and he entered the University of Edinburgh when he was 14 years old. He became a Licentiate in 1830 before graduating in 1832. He was appointed Professor of Midwifery (which would now be called Obstetrics) at the University of Edinburgh and physician to Queen Victoria.
"Simpson completed final examination at the age of 18 but, as he was so young, had to wait two years before he got his license to practise medicine. At the age of 28 he was appointed to the Chair of Medicine and Midwifery at the University of Edinburgh. He improved the design of obstetric forceps and, like Semmelweis, fought against the contagion of puerperal sepsis. His most noted contribution was the introduction of anesthesia to childbirth.
52 Queen Street
"Simpson's intellectual interests ranged from archaeology to an almost taboo subject at the time: hermaphroditism. He was a very early advocate of the use of midwives in the hospital environment. Many prominent women also consulted him for their gynaecological problems...
"In 1847, Simpson discovered the properties of chloroform during an experiment with friends in which he learnt that it could be used to put one to sleep. Dr Simpson and two of his friends, Drs Keith and Duncan used to sit every evening in Dr Simpson's dining room to try new chemicals to see if they had any anaesthetic effect. On 4 November 1847 they decided to try a ponderous material named chloroform that they had previously ignored. On inhaling the chemical they found that a general mood of cheer and humour had set in. But suddenly all of them collapsed only to regain consciousness the next morning. Simpson knew, as soon as he woke up, that he had found something that could be used as an anaesthetic. They soon had Miss Petrie, Simpson's niece, try it. She fell asleep soon after inhaling it while singing the words, "I am an angel!". It was very much up to chance that Simpson survived the chloroform dosage he administered to himself. If he had inhaled too much, subsequently passing away from an overdose, chloroform would have been seen as a dangerous substance. However, if Simpson had inhaled slightly less it would not have put him to sleep. It was his willingness to explore the possibilities of the substance that established his career as a pioneer in the field of medicine.
"Simpson was created a Baronet, of Strathavon in the County of Linlithgow, and of the City of Edinburgh, in 1866. He died at his home in Edinburgh in May 1870 at the age of fifty-eight. A burial spot in Westminster Abbey was offered to his family, but they declined and instead buried him closer to home in Warriston Cemetery, Edinburgh. However, a memorial bust can be found in a niche at Westminster Abbey in London. On the day of Simpson's funeral, a Scottish holiday was declared, including the banks and stock markets, with over 100,000 citizens lining the funeral cortege on its way to the cemetery, while over 1,700 colleagues and business leaders took part in the procession itself."
I always assocaite Anadin with their advertising strapline and the retort "Can I have a packet of nothing please?". Why? Because 'nothing acts faster than Anadin" but then I'm a certain age now. This 1947 outing for the well known painkiller uses the "gain quick pain relief" line along with the fact you can't enjoy yourself if half your mind is on pain. Hmm, I'd be more worried about what was on the other half of his mind, the cad. The advert unusually has an artist's name on the very period late '40s style couple - A R Whitear who was, around the time, a book illustrator.
Anadin appeared in the UK in 1932 as the British version of the American product Anacin. The brand is still around although the formulation acknowledged here isn't as phenacetin has been banned since the 1980s as a carcinogenic. The compound was one of the earliest synthetic analgesics appearing from the laboratories of the famous German company Bayer in 1887. The product was very popular although widespread production was only started in the UK during the First World War when imports from Germany were halted. The synthasis of the compound here was partially due to a pioneering woman chemist, Martha Annie Whiteley (1856 - 1956), one of those people in the history of chemistry who possibly shoudl be better recalled.

Alan Baker reviewed the book in Litter on May 31st:
Lowdeine Chronicles" by Nick Power and Andrew Taylor, pub. Erbacce Press. 96pp.
Two poets high on codeine, both from Liverpool, both listening, in their intoxicated state, to Bowie’s “Low”; or maybe two poets intoxicated by language, riffing off each other’s words and producing an inventive and fast-paced sequence in which their styles blend into a single writerly identity. This is contemporary Beat poetry, close to song lyric at times, but acknowledging a heritage encompassing, among others, George Perec, Jack Kerouac and Thomas A Clark. Nick Power is a song writer for The Coral and some of these poems have the immediacy of song lyrics, perhaps because Power has learned from his song-writing how to connect directly to an audience (many of these poems would work well in performance).
Each of the two poets provides a foreword in which they describe the circumstances which led them to take codeine for pain relief and how, as a result of the camaraderie around this, they shared their enthusiasm for “Low” and headed into this collaborative work. The poetry is international in flavour, as are the influences brought to bear on it, with locations including France and Berlin (where "Low" was recorded), and there are references to American and European writers. But this collection is by no means literary - the allusions are lightly done and the emphasis in the poetry is on spontaneity and the recording of immediate sensations and experiences.
As separate writers, Taylor and Power have distinctive styles, but they’re close enough that, in this book, they form a third style which is a merging of the two. The concerns and subject-matter of the poetry are shared by both writers - the hallucinatory effects of codeine and fever, travel, urban landscapes and most importantly, music - Bowie’s work being the prime focus of, and inspiration for the poems, especially the lyrics of “Low” and the eerie instrumentals on 'side 2' of that album. The book combines two types of writing - poems of the self, expressing exhaustion or the effects of sleeplessness or drugs, or just exasperation at a life of travel and work, alongside calm, impersonal poems of observation and naming. An example of how these two aspects complement each other can be found by comparing the poem ‘The Face of January’ with a poem a few pages later titled 'Cedez le Passage'. The first poem invokes a deity referred to as
The face of January is the
kite of a mother
nobody spared a morphine pellet
for
The sinister figure of 'Silent Bill' also appears in this poem. They’re figures out of drug-induced nightmare and seem to be a personification of some unnamed guilt. This poem is followed two pages later by 'Cedez le Passage'. This short, compressed piece is a quiet description of stopping at a service station, refilling water bottles and finding some shade. Here’s the poem in full:
Cedez le Passage
Fill empty water bottles
at every opportunity
like waggon drivers
at service areas
It makes sense to break
often and disrupt flow
the A85 north sign blue
in essentialness
Depts. 35 29 49 evidence
of coastal shift
take the shade
This could simply be about stopping on a long drive, but it could be about much more - the light touch of 'evidence / of coastal shift' beckons towards much larger concerns and a greater geography beyond immediate perceptions. This changing of gear (between the two poems above) is a key feature of the collection and what makes its ninety-six pages so readable and varied.
Bowie's "Low", while it has upbeat rhythms in the first few tracks, is disturbed and disturbing music, composed in the bleakness of Soviet-era Berlin and drawing on JG Ballard's “Crash” ('Always Crashing in the Same Car') and the works of Alistair Crowley. In “Lowdeine” we have explicit references to “Low”, as well as that other Berlin-trilogy album “Heroes” (the poem 'Neuköln, Autumntime' referencing the track 'Neuköln') and overall the book has the same feel as those two albums, especially “Low”; a looking-back to a period of drug-use and difficult times from a place of urban sanctuary; in Bowie's case Berlin, in “Lowdeine”’s case Liverpool, Nottingham, various A-roads and autobahns, and Sheffield - in the poem 'Meadowhall Interchange' the speaker emerges from a 24-hour cafe:
as I came up from the painkillers -
the sudden inexplicable feeling
that everything would
be alright
The production of the book has a rough-and-ready feel (the poem titles on opposing pages don’t line up, and the page numbers appear at the top of the page) which, while it might not work for all poetry, fits this collection well, and gives it a samizdat feel. There are prose poems, prose narratives (including a weirdly surreal story about Elvis Presley), romantic-era invocations (‘Morphine Prayer’, In Praise of Codeine’), humour and satire. The poems echo the upbeat rhythms of the early tracks of “Low” in a poem like “I am The Champion Spark Plug”, while the slower, more measured pieces invoke tracks like the Philip Glass-inspired “Weeping Wall”; listening to that track while reading a poem like ‘Kodeine (for Stephen Emmerson)’ is a dizzying experience, as the insistent pulse of the music merges with the short lines of the poem with its hallucinatory imagery. There's also playfulness and humour in this book - some of the poem titles are gems:
Andrew Taylor's Appendix
I am the Champion Spark Plug
In the Swirling Dregs of Life There is Nectar
Another aspect of “Lowdeine” is its commentary on illness and its effects:
I’ve always come out of illness a different person. It changes me is what I’m saying. A sense like the Holy Ghost himself might’ve somehow passed through my bones and crawled back into the immersion heater. An exaltation.
(From ‘Back Among The Somnambulists’)
This religious imagery of this last quotation, while unusually explicit in this case, is another feature of the poems, although it’s generally of the type found in Blues songs, just as the language of some of the poems has a bluesy feel:
O Grace
O Grace, please don’t tell me
that it’s true
there are people much worse off than me or you
(from ‘Distant Star’)
The ghost of Bowie stalks this collection, or, as Taylor says in his foreword, talking about “Low”:
The light, Side 2, and the thought of a near miss with the album's creator backstage at a Tin Machine gig at Liverpool's Royal Court Theatre...
This homage to “Low” (an album with a running time of only 39 minutes) is a sprawling collection, engaging and full of variety, mixing poetic forms and linguistic registers, but somehow sticking throughout with its primary focus on the music of David Bowie and the effects of codeine.

The MKC MADIG is the medical tool of tomorrow's battle field, and disaster scenario. An acronym for Multi Administration Drug Injection Gun, the MADIG carries 20 empty needle-darts in a rotational magazine, beneath the injection chamber. On top of the device is a Multi-Phase, X-ray Micro-density combination camera, that can independently ascertain the nature of an injury. The camera then sends this data to the Drug Storage Tank. Currently available is a multi-platform tank, where several different drugs (Adrenaline, pain relief, etc.) are stored in separate containers, and each is injected into a needle as needed, before the needle is fired pneumatically. However, MKC is currently researching and experimenting with a multi-purpose drug, that can accommodate many different uses and reliefs, depending on temperature. Should this new drug become effective, the storage tank would only need carry this one drug, and heat it to the specified temperature before firing. Also available from MKC is a nano-mite and anti-nano warfare solution.
Wow - only 40 to go. Time sure is flying!
I was out with Laura this afternoon and she put up with my whining that I've been on the cusp of a headache all day.
It's just matured nicely about twenty minutes ago, so I'm hoping my little friends here will help me out.
