Healing Arts technique by Dana by Art Donna

The MLD process involves a light vibratory touch to encourage the lymphatic fluid flow toward the main lymphatic ducts and back into the blood system.

When the flow of lymphatic elements is reduced, the immune system weakens. Lymphatic drainage can help improve the production and flow of antibodies, thus better empowering the immune system and assisting in detoxification and relaxation.

Knee problems by European Space Agency

31 3

This MRI scan shows a knee joint with cartilage covering the articulating joint surfaces to help the bones slide smoothly.

Cartilage responds slowly to changes in joint loading because it does not have any blood vessels, lymphatic system or nerves to feed and grow tissue, so nutrients are absorbed slowly.

Everyday loading of our skeleton is important to keep cartilage healthy because the motion and loading of the joint are needed to get nutrients into the cartilage, but little is known about cartilage in bedridden people on Earth.

To find out more, the Institute of Biomechanics and Orthopaedics of the German Sport University Cologne in Germany is studying astronauts.

As astronauts float in space for up to six months their legs are hardly used in weightlessness. The researchers are analysing biomarkers in up to 10 astronauts before and after flight to chart cartilage metabolism, thickness, volume and water content in knee joints.

This is the first time such a study is being done on healthy people. As cartilage responds so slowly, a similar study with healthy individuals on Earth would require that they do not move for many months, which is impossible.

The goal is to learn more about how the knee cartilage of the astronauts suffers from their trip into space. From here, researchers are hoping to understand the role of mechanical loading for cartilage health and the development of osteoarthritis.

Ferret (Mustela Furo) by PHOTOGRAPHY by DM & DBM.

5 1

The ferret (Mustela furo) is a small, domesticated species belonging to the family Mustelidae. The ferret is most likely a domesticated form of the wild European polecat (Mustela putorius), evidenced by their interfertility. Physically, ferrets resemble other mustelids because of their long, slender bodies. Including their tail, the average length of a ferret is about 50 cm (20 in); they weigh between 0.7 and 2.0 kg (1.5 and 4.4 lb); and their fur can be black, brown, white, or a mixture of those colours. The species is sexually dimorphic, with males being considerably larger than females.

Ferrets may have been domesticated since ancient times, but there is widespread disagreement because of the sparseness of written accounts and the inconsistency of those which survive. Contemporary scholarship agrees that ferrets were bred for sport, hunting rabbits in a practice known as rabbiting. In North America, the ferret has become an increasingly prominent choice of household pet, with over five million in the United States alone. The legality of ferret ownership varies by location. In New Zealand and some other countries, restrictions apply due to the damage done to native fauna by feral colonies of polecat–ferret hybrids. The ferret has also served as a fruitful research animal, contributing to research in neuroscience and infectious disease, especially influenza.

The domestic ferret is often confused with the black-footed ferret (Mustela nigripes), a species native to North America.[1]

Etymology

The name "ferret" is derived from the Latin furittus, meaning "little thief", a likely reference to the common ferret penchant for secreting away small items.[2] In Old English (Anglo-Saxon), the animal was called mearþ. The word fyret seems to appear in Middle English in the 14th century from the Latin, with the modern spelling of "ferret" by the 16th century.[3]

The Greek word ἴκτις íktis, Latinized as ictis occurs in a play written by Aristophanes, The Acharnians, in 425 BC. Whether this was a reference to ferrets, polecats, or the similar Egyptian mongoose is uncertain.[3]

A male ferret is called a hob; a female ferret is a jill. A spayed female is a sprite, a neutered male is a gib, and a vasectomised male is known as a hoblet. Ferrets under one year old are known as kits. A group of ferrets is known as a "business",[4] or historically as a "busyness". Other purported collective nouns, including "besyness", "fesynes", "fesnyng" and "feamyng", appear in some dictionaries, but are almost certainly ghost words.[5]

Characteristics

Ferret profile

Ferrets have a typical mustelid body-shape, being long and slender. Their average length is about 50 cm (20 in) including a 13 cm (5.1 in) tail. Their pelage has various colorations including brown, black, white or mixed. They weigh between 0.7 and 2.0 kg (1.5 and 4.4 lb) and are sexually dimorphic as the males are substantially larger than females. The average gestation period is 42 days and females may have two or three litters each year. The litter size is usually between three and seven kits which are weaned after three to six weeks and become independent at three months. They become sexually mature at approximately 6 months and the average life span is 7 to 10 years.[6][7] Ferrets are induced ovulators.[8]

Behavior

Ferrets spend 14–18 hours a day asleep and are most active around the hours of dawn and dusk, meaning they are crepuscular.[9] If they are caged, they should be taken out daily to exercise and satisfy their curiosity; they need at least an hour and a place to play.[10] Unlike their polecat ancestors, which are solitary animals, most ferrets will live happily in social groups. They are territorial, like to burrow, and prefer to sleep in an enclosed area.[11]

Like many other mustelids, ferrets have scent glands near their anus, the secretions from which are used in scent marking. Ferrets can recognize individuals from these anal gland secretions, as well as the sex of unfamiliar individuals.[12] Ferrets may also use urine marking for sex and individual recognition.[13]

As with skunks, ferrets can release their anal gland secretions when startled or scared, but the smell is much less potent and dissipates rapidly. Most pet ferrets in the US are sold descented (with the anal glands removed).[14] In many other parts of the world, including the UK and other European countries, de-scenting is considered an unnecessary mutilation.

If excited, they may perform a behavior called the "weasel war dance", characterized by frenzied sideways hops, leaps and bumping into nearby objects. Despite its common name, it is not aggressive but is a joyful invitation to play. It is often accompanied by a unique soft clucking noise, commonly referred to as "dooking".[15] When scared, ferrets will hiss; when upset, they squeak softly.[16]

Diet

Ferrets are obligate carnivores.[17] The natural diet of their wild ancestors consisted of whole small prey, including meat, organs, bones, skin, feathers and fur.[18] Ferrets have short digestive systems and a quick metabolism, so they need to eat frequently. Prepared dry foods consisting almost entirely of meat (including high-grade cat food, although specialized ferret food is increasingly available and preferable)[19] provide the most nutritional value. Some ferret owners feed pre-killed or live prey (such as mice and rabbits) to their ferrets to more closely mimic their natural diet.[20][21] Ferret digestive tracts lack a cecum and the animal is largely unable to digest plant matter.[22] Before much was known about ferret physiology, many breeders and pet stores recommended food like fruit in the ferret diet, but it is now known that such foods are inappropriate, and may in fact have negative consequences for ferret health. Ferrets imprint on their food at around six months old. This can make introducing new foods to an older ferret a challenge, and even simply changing brands of kibble may meet with resistance from a ferret that has never eaten the food as a kit. It is therefore advisable to expose young ferrets to as many different types and flavors of appropriate food as possible.[23]

Dentition

Ferret dentition

Ferrets have four types of teeth (the number includes maxillary (upper) and mandibular (lower) teeth) with a dental formula of

3.1.4.1

3.1.4.2

Twelve small incisor teeth (only 2–3 mm [3⁄32–1⁄8 in] long) located between the canines in the front of the mouth. These are used for grooming.

Four canines used for killing prey.

Twelve premolar teeth that the ferret uses to chew food—located at the sides of the mouth, directly behind the canines. The ferret uses these teeth to cut through flesh, using them in a scissors action to cut the meat into digestible chunks.

Six molars (two on top and four on the bottom) at the far back of the mouth are used to crush food.

Health

Male ferret

Ferrets are known to suffer from several distinct health problems. Among the most common are cancers affecting the adrenal glands, pancreas and lymphatic system.

Adrenal disease, a growth of the adrenal glands that can be either hyperplasia or cancer, is most often diagnosed by signs like unusual hair loss, increased aggression, and difficulty urinating or defecating. Treatment options include surgery to excise the affected glands, melatonin or deslorelin implants, and hormone therapy. The causes of adrenal disease speculated to include unnatural light cycles, diets based around processed ferret foods, and prepubescent neutering. It has also been suggested that there may be a hereditary component to adrenal disease.[24]

Insulinoma, a type of cancer of the islet cells of the pancreas, is the most common form of cancer in ferrets. It is most common in ferrets between the ages of 4 and 5 years old.[25]

Lymphoma is the most common malignancy in ferrets. Ferret lymphosarcoma occurs in two forms—juvenile lymphosarcoma, a fast-growing type that affects ferrets younger than two years, and adult lymphosarcoma, a slower-growing form that affects ferrets four to seven years old.[26]

Viral diseases include canine distemper, influenza and ferret systemic coronavirus.[27][28][29]

A high proportion of ferrets with white markings which form coat patterns known as a blaze, badger, or panda coat, such as a stripe extending from their face down the back of their head to their shoulder blades, or a fully white head, have a congenital deafness (partial or total) which is similar to Waardenburg syndrome in humans.[30] Ferrets without white markings, but with premature graying of the coat, are also more likely to have some deafness than ferrets with solid coat colors which do not show this trait.[31] Most albino ferrets are not deaf; if deafness does occur in an albino ferret, this may be due to an underlying white coat pattern which is obscured by the albinism.[30]

Health problems can occur in unspayed females when not being used for breeding.[32] Similar to domestic cats, ferrets can also suffer from hairballs and dental problems. Ferrets will also often chew on and swallow foreign objects which can lead to bowel obstruction.[33]

History of domestication

In common with most domestic animals, the original reason for ferrets being domesticated by human beings is uncertain, but it may have involved hunting. According to phylogenetic studies, the ferret was domesticated from the European polecat (Mustela putorius), and likely descends from a North African lineage of the species.[34] Analysis of mitochondrial DNA suggests that ferrets were domesticated around 2,500 years ago. It has been claimed that the ancient Egyptians were the first to domesticate ferrets, but as no mummified remains of a ferret have yet been found, nor any hieroglyph of a ferret, and no polecat now occurs wild in the area, that idea seems unlikely.[35] The American Society of Mammalogists classifies M. furo as a distinct species.[36]

Ferrets were probably used by the Romans for hunting.[37][38] Genghis Khan, ruler of the Mongol Empire, is recorded as using ferrets in a gigantic hunt in 1221 that aimed to purge an entire region of wild animals.[3]

Colonies of feral ferrets have established themselves in areas where there is no competition from similarly sized predators, such as in the Shetland Islands and in remote regions in New Zealand. Where ferrets coexist with polecats, hybridization is common. It has been claimed that New Zealand has the world's largest feral population of ferret–polecat hybrids.[39] In 1877, farmers in New Zealand demanded that ferrets be introduced into the country to control the rabbit population, which was also introduced by humans. Five ferrets were imported in 1879, and in 1882–1883, 32 shipments of ferrets were made from London, totaling 1,217 animals. Only 678 landed, and 198 were sent from Melbourne, Australia. On the voyage, the ferrets were mated with the European polecat, creating a number of hybrids that were capable of surviving in the wild. In 1884 and 1886, close to 4,000 ferrets and ferret hybrids, 3,099 weasels and 137 stoats were turned loose.[40] Concern was raised that these animals would eventually prey on indigenous wildlife once rabbit populations dropped, and this is exactly what happened to New Zealand's bird species which previously had had no mammalian predators.

Ferreting

Main article: Rabbiting

Muzzled ferret flushing a rat, as illustrated in Harding's Ferret Facts and Fancies (1915)

For millennia, the main use of ferrets was for hunting, or "ferreting". With their long, lean build and inquisitive nature, ferrets are very well equipped for getting down holes and chasing rodents, rabbits and moles out of their burrows. The Roman historians Pliny and Strabo record that Caesar Augustus sent "viverrae" from Libya to the Balearic Islands to control rabbit plagues there in 6 BC; it is speculated that "viverrae" could refer to ferrets, mongooses, or polecats.[3][41][42] In England, in 1390, a law was enacted restricting the use of ferrets for hunting to the relatively wealthy:

it is ordained that no manner of layman which hath not lands to the value of forty shillings a year shall from henceforth keep any greyhound or other dog to hunt, nor shall he use ferrets, nets, heys, harepipes nor cords, nor other engines for to take or destroy deer, hares, nor conies, nor other gentlemen's game, under pain of twelve months' imprisonment.[43]

Ferrets were first introduced into the American continents in the 17th century, and were used extensively from 1860 until the start of World War II to protect grain stores in the American West from rodents. They are still used for hunting in some countries, including the United Kingdom, where rabbits are considered a pest by farmers.[44] The practice is illegal in several countries where it is feared that ferrets could unbalance the ecology. In 2009 in Finland, where ferreting was previously unknown, the city of Helsinki began to use ferrets to restrict the city's rabbit population to a manageable level. Ferreting was chosen because in populated areas it is considered to be safer and less ecologically damaging than shooting the rabbits.

As pets

In the United States, ferrets were relatively rare pets until the 1980s. A government study by the California State Bird and Mammal Conservation Program estimated that by 1996 about 800,000 domestic ferrets were being kept as pets in the United States.[45]

Regulation

Australia: It is illegal to keep ferrets as pets in Queensland and the Northern Territory;[46] in the Australian Capital Territory a licence is required.[47]

Brazil: Ferrets are allowed only if they are given a microchip identification tag and sterilized.

New Zealand: It has been illegal to sell, distribute or breed ferrets in New Zealand since 2002 unless certain conditions are met.[48]

United States: Ferrets were once banned in many US states, but most of these laws were rescinded in the 1980s and 1990s as they became popular pets.

Illegal: Ferrets are illegal in California under Fish and Game Code Section 2118;[49] and the California Code of Regulations,[50] although it is not illegal for veterinarians in the state to treat ferrets kept as pets. "Ferrets are strictly prohibited as pets under Hawaii law because they are potential carriers of the rabies virus";[51] the territory of Puerto Rico has a similar law.[52] Ferrets are restricted by some municipalities, such as New York City,[52] which renewed its ban in 2015.[53][54] They are also prohibited on many military bases.[52] A permit to own a ferret is needed in other areas, including Rhode Island.[55] Illinois and Georgia do not require a permit to merely possess a ferret, but a permit is required to breed ferrets.[56][57] It was once illegal to own ferrets in Dallas, Texas,[58] but the current Dallas City Code for Animals includes regulations for the vaccination of ferrets.[59] Pet ferrets are legal in Wisconsin, however legality varies by municipality. The city of Oshkosh, Wisconsin, for example, classifies ferrets as a wild animal and subsequently prohibits them from being kept within the city limits. Also, an import permit from the state department of agriculture is required to bring one into the state.[60] Under common law, ferrets are deemed "wild animals" subject to strict liability for injuries they cause, but in several states statutory law has overruled the common law, deeming ferrets "domestic".[61]

Japan: In Hokkaido prefecture, ferrets must be registered with the local government.[62] In other prefectures, no restrictions apply.

Other uses

Ferrets are an important experimental animal model for human influenza,[63][64] and have been used to study the 2009 H1N1 (swine flu) virus.[65] Smith, Andrews, Laidlaw (1933) inoculated ferrets intra-nasally with human naso-pharyngeal washes, which produced a form of influenza that spread to other cage mates. The human influenza virus (Influenza type A) was transmitted from an infected ferret to a junior investigator, from whom it was subsequently re-isolated.

Ferrets have been used in many broad areas of research, such as the study of pathogenesis and treatment in a variety of human disease, these including studies into cardiovascular disease, nutrition, respiratory diseases such as SARS and human influenza, airway physiology,[66] cystic fibrosis and gastrointestinal disease.

Because they share many anatomical and physiological features with humans, ferrets are extensively used as experimental subjects in biomedical research, in fields such as virology, reproductive physiology, anatomy, endocrinology and neuroscience.[67]

In the UK, ferret racing is often a feature of rural fairs or festivals, with people placing small bets on ferrets that run set routes through pipes and wire mesh. Although financial bets are placed, the event is primarily for entertainment purposes as opposed to 'serious' betting sports such as horse or greyhound racing.[68][69]

A very small experimental study of ferrets found that a nasal spray effectively blocked the transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus that causes COVID-19.[70]

Terminology and coloring

Typical ferret coloration, known as a sable or polecat-colored ferret

Most ferrets are either albinos, with white fur and pink eyes, or display the typical dark masked sable coloration of their wild polecat ancestors. In recent years fancy breeders have produced a wide variety of colors and patterns. Color refers to the color of the ferret's guard hairs, undercoat, eyes and nose; pattern refers to the concentration and distribution of color on the body, mask and nose, as well as white markings on the head or feet when present. Some national organizations, such as the American Ferret Association, have attempted to classify these variations in their showing standards.[71]

There are four basic colors. The sable (including chocolate and dark brown), albino, dark-eyed white (DEW, also known as black-eyed white or BEW) and silver. All the other colors of a ferret are variations on one of these four categories.

Waardenburg-like coloring

White or albino ferret

Ferrets with a white stripe on their face or a fully white head, primarily blazes, badgers and pandas, almost certainly carry a congenital defect which shares some similarities to Waardenburg syndrome. This causes, among other things, a cranial deformation in the womb which broadens the skull, white face markings, and also partial or total deafness. It is estimated as many as 75 percent of ferrets with these Waardenburg-like colorings are deaf.

White ferrets were favored in the Middle Ages for the ease in seeing them in thick undergrowth. Leonardo da Vinci's painting Lady with an Ermine is likely mislabelled; the animal is probably a ferret, not a stoat (for which "ermine" is an alternative name for the animal in its white winter coat). Similarly, the ermine portrait of Queen Elizabeth I shows her with her pet ferret, which has been decorated with painted-on heraldic ermine spots.

The Ferreter's Tapestry is a 15th-century tapestry from Burgundy, France, now part of the Burrell Collection housed in the Glasgow Museum and Art Galleries. It shows a group of peasants hunting rabbits with nets and white ferrets. This image was reproduced in Renaissance Dress in Italy 1400–1500, by Jacqueline Herald, Bell & Hyman.[72]

Gaston Phoebus' Book of the Hunt was written in approximately 1389 to explain how to hunt different kinds of animals, including how to use ferrets to hunt rabbits. Illustrations show how multicolored ferrets that were fitted with muzzles were used to chase rabbits out of their warrens and into waiting nets.

Import restrictions

Australia – Ferrets cannot be imported into Australia. A report drafted in August 2000 seems to be the only effort made to date to change the situation.[73]

Canada – Ferrets brought from anywhere except the US require a Permit to Import from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency Animal Health Office. Ferrets from the US require only a vaccination certificate signed by a veterinarian. Ferrets under three months old are not subject to any import restrictions.[74]

European Union – As of July 2004, dogs, cats and ferrets can travel freely within the European Union under the pet passport scheme. To cross a border within the EU, ferrets require at minimum an EU PETS passport and an identification microchip (though some countries will accept a tattoo instead). Vaccinations are required; most countries require a rabies vaccine, and some require a distemper vaccine and treatment for ticks and fleas 24 to 48 hours before entry. Ferrets occasionally need to be quarantined before entering the country. PETS travel information is available from any EU veterinarian or on government websites.

New Zealand – New Zealand has banned the import of ferrets into the country.[75]

United Kingdom – The UK accepts ferrets under the EU's PETS travel scheme. Ferrets must be microchipped, vaccinated against rabies, and documented. They must be treated for ticks and tapeworms 24 to 48 hours before entry. They must also arrive via an authorized route. Ferrets arriving from outside the EU may be subject to a six-month quarantine

New, Previously Invisible, Detail Comes to Light (After Cleaning) by Marcel Mac Duchamp and Rroseeen Ní Shélavy in Infrat(h)in

Duchamp scholars are currently investigating this new development. The idea that the most advanced Silverfish Breeders of the early 17th Century could Infrathin themselves was a new idea. But then both Pepys and Chatterton could, as could Sir John Dee amongst others, from earlier and later centuries, so why could this ability not be a universal across time, and something Duchamp picked up on rather than originated? Thomas De Quincey is, of course, another case in point.

The 'photograph', 'Marcel Contemplating the Lymphatic System of the Giant Silverfish (Lepisma Saccharinum Maximus)', can be clearly seen behind the board members, even though this was centuries before the first photographs were produced.

Artist Unknown.

From the 'Lanech Collection'.

Thalia: Wonderful corsetry. Of course, this is not about me, but if it were, I would be unable to avoid the Idea of restraint and submission, rather than liberation (I know the two are strangely conjoined). I suppose a silverfish exoskeleton might be like whalebone, though I have always observed them to be somewhat powdery.

Ruin: Yes, I see what you mean, but these were another 'genus', a breeding miracle to get them to this size. I heard that their 'corsetry' was fed, treated with essential oils and myrrh even, no expense was wasted on these potential prizewinners. This coddling lasted at least until the bubble burst, there was huge profit to be made.

Restraint, submission, and liberation, there's an idea, a blast from the past, but I am currently so removed from the arena, I feel as if I can't comment on it anymore. I have been even wondering how to deal with the volume of extra-curricular activity I partook in during my testosterone driven heyday. I don't think I could even write about that stuff anymore. It's probably just as well.

Sometimes, apparently, you have to go back to feel your way forward. But then, are there directions in infinity, and by extension 'Infrathin'?

Placed beneath the pillow it is used to create psychic impulses throughout the deep conscious mind as dreams, and to ensure peaceful sleep. Quartz crystal is said to relieve headaches and toothaches and if held in the hand to relieve fevers. It may be placed on parts of the body in pain to rebalance and remove blockages. In Crystal Healing Clear Quartz Crystal is known to be a cleansing tool and said to clear impurities and psychic debris from the energy field that permeates the human body. It can realign and refocus the body, mind, and spirit toward clear goals and increase power of concentration, and focus, amplifying whatever thoughts have been programmed into it.

In Magic Crystal Quartz has been used for thousands of years. It has been used to magically create rain, and produce the sacred fire. The Cherokee Shamans kept it wrapped in buckskin when not in use and it is a common part of shaman's power bags or medicine bundles. In shamanistic terms the quartz crystal is the shaman and the shaman is the crystal. Its magical uses include Power, Protection, Healing, Phsycism, and Lactation. It is said that Wiccans wear quartz, because it is Goddess-symbolic. A small quartz crystal point is placed in healing sachets to increase their magical effectiveness. Wiccans will magically guard their herbs when growing them by placing a small quartz crystal in the soil. It is said one may purify and cleanse their crystals by passing sage lightly over them in a cleansing ritual. Some Wiccans may use a crystal purification incense that including an already purified quartz crystal, and herbs grown in a magically protected garden.

Jade is used to balance and support the energy of the kidneys and lymphatic system. It is used to calm the nervous system and ease over-excitement as it is linked emotionally with the heart chakra, enabling the sharing of unconditional love with all beings. It is said to encourage peace and abundance when placed in the home. Jades magical uses include love, healing, longevity, wisdom, protection, gardening, prosperity, and money. Jade is believed to have power over the weather. It was once known to be thrown into water to bring mist, rain, or snow, and is also said to attract love. Jade is also used in magic to bring money and is said in to be effective for improving the health of plants. Jade may be worn or carried when harvesting herbs to ensure protection of the herbs, a good harvest, and in the practice of Wicca Jade is used to increase the herbs magical potency. Rhodonite is used to soothe inflammation and support liver function and assist detoxification. It is also used to help rheumatoid arthritis and to ease shock; heal wounds -both physical and emotional- and to help the reproductive system. It is used on the heart chakra to heal emotional wounds and can be placed over the throat chakra to help the expression of unconditional love. Fluorite is helpful to gain structure and to help prioritize. It symbolizes changing chaos into order. Fluorite encourages logic and helps to balance the mind. Meditating with fluorite may bring peace and it may be placed in the bath to experience its calming effects. It is said to ease emotional stress and to help decision making.

Carnelian may be placed on the lower abdomen to energize the sacral and root chakras and is placed in the bath or worn over the heart for warmth and support. Tigers Eye is used to link the energy of the solar plexus chakra, to clear mental blocks and encourage focus on current issues. It supports the metabolism and prevents physical energy form becoming depleted. Tigers Eye may be used to make a gem remedy by placing a piece in a glass of fresh water and leaving it in the sun for one hour, then taking it out and drinking the water to support clear vision. Pyrite is used to clarify mental processes, and diminish confusion, and shed light on problems. It supports the immune system and is known to help with male sexual or infertility issues. In healing layouts, it is placed over the solar plexus area in the middle of the ribs or held in the right hand to balance masculine energy. It may be placed under the rib cage to assist detoxification. Pyrite may be placed in the office to help stay focused and to detoxify the environment. Onyx Is used in healing to help balance the demands of everyday life with the need to find rest and new inspiration. And helps restore the system. It is used to encourage inner stillness and helps focus during meditation. Onyx may energize the feet and legs, working on the root chakra.

Why Non-Wired Bras Are Better Than Wired Bras by Shikha Thakur

For many years, wired bras have been the go-to for women when it comes to support and lift. However, non-wired bras have become increasingly popular in recent years, and for good reason. Here are some reasons why non-wired bras are better than wired bras:

More Comfortable: Non-wired bras are more comfortable to wear for extended periods of time. The lack of a metal underwire means that the bra won’t dig into your skin or cause discomfort. This is especially important for women with larger breasts, as wired bras can cause pain and discomfort due to the pressure they put on the ribcage.

Healthier for Your Breasts: Wired bras can restrict blood flow and lymphatic drainage in the breasts, which can lead to discomfort and even health problems in the long run. Non-wired bras don’t have this issue, allowing for proper circulation and drainage.

Better Shape and Support: Contrary to popular belief, non-wired bras can still provide adequate support and lift. Modern non-wired bras often feature molded cups, adjustable straps, and supportive fabrics that can provide a flattering shape and lift. And without the wire, you won’t have to worry about the bra losing its shape or the wire poking through.

More Versatile: Non-wired bras can be worn for a variety of activities, from lounging around the house to working out. Wired bras, on the other hand, can be uncomfortable during physical activities and may even cause injury if the wire pops out.

More Stylish: Non-wired bras come in a variety of styles, from bralettes to sports bras, and can be just as stylish as wired bras. Plus, without the wire, you can achieve a more natural and comfortable look.

In conclusion, non-wired bras are a comfortable and healthy alternative to wired bras. With their versatility, support, and style options, they are a great option for women looking for a bra that can provide both comfort and support. So next time you’re shopping for bras, consider giving non-wired bras a try!

Derbyshire - Eyam Parish Church by Kimhaz - Here and There

5 1

The church of St Lawrence, Eyam is medieval with elements from the 13th and 15th centuries.

Eyam is a small village in Derbyshire.

Lying between Buxton and Chesterfield it is just north of Bakewell in the Peak District. Typically rural, most of its population were farmers. In the early 1660s it did not stand apart from any of the other numerous villages that lined the trade routes from London to the rest of England. And yet in 1665 Eyam became one of the most significant villages in England. The actions of its 800 inhabitants had far reaching and important consequences for the development of treatment of the plague.

1665-6 was the last major epidemic of the plague to occur in England. As was normal the plague concentrated in London. The movement of the rich alongside the normal trade patterns of England meant that the great plague spread quickly across the country. Rural areas that may previously have been safe from the diseases of urban areas were also exposed. The plague arrived in Eyam in late August 1665. It came in a parcel of cloth sent from London to the village tailor Alexander Hadfield. When Hadfield’s assistant George Viccars spread the cloth out by the fire to air, he found it was infested with rat fleas. He died a few days later with his burial being recorded in the parish registers on 7th September 1665.

Spread by infected fleas from small animals, the bacteria enters the skin through a flea bite and travels via the lymphatic system to a lymph node causing it to swell. This causes the characteristic buboes which typically appeared under the arm but could surface in the neck or groin area also. Combined with the black bruising under the surface of the skin, fever, vomiting and spasms, the plague was a truly terrifying disease that spread with a startling ferocity.

People of the 17th Century believed in numerous theories regarding the origins of the plague. Most believed that it was a punishment sent by God for the sins of the world. People sought forgiveness through prayer and by repenting for their sins. Eyam, a small village in the north, acted in a unique way. Their intention was to act decisively and prevent the spread of disease.

The Church’s dominance in the 17th Century was still supreme, even after the religious roller-coaster of the Tudor period. The local Reverends were pillars of the community, often the most educated people in the village. Eyam had two Reverends. Thomas Stanley had been dismissed from his official post for refusing to take the Oath of Conformity and use the Common Book of Prayer. His replacement, Reverend William Mompesson had worked in the village for a year. Aged 28, Mompesson lived in the rectory with his wife Catherine and their two small children. Both highly educated, it was the actions of Stanley and Mompesson that resulted in the outbreak of plague in Eyam being contained to the village and not spreading to the nearby city of Sheffield.

Nadav by Poupetta

www.touristisrael.com/tel-aviv/

Tel Aviv is a vibrant city, it is also known by its nickname: The city that never sleeps. The beach is an immediate extension part of the city. One minute you're walking on the busy streets and the next you're barefooted on the golden sand or dipping your toes along the water-shore.

I always meet new people and old friends on the beach, there's always someone to talk to and photograph.

This morning I was admiring a young man doing handstands and looking so serene while doing it. When he came down on his feet I said hello and asked whether he could do it again.

Even in my younger years I couldn't do a handstand unless I had a wall to lean on.

Nadav had no problem at all. He kept his position until I was done making photos. Youth, beauty & strength, we don't really appreciate it when we have it all, do we. Or then again, we just take it for granted, but one day age catches up with us and we can do these handstands in spirit only.

Nadav, 24 y/o, is a free spirit. He works just enough to make money for his living & travelling, he doesn't want to be a slave to a job. When he works he teaches Movement Yoga or does Seed Ayurvedic Massage.

I had no idea what the latter was so Nadav explained it to me.

I also checked it out online and found this:

"Ayurveda Massage Treatment. Seed Ayurvedic Massage was created from extensive experience combining traditional Asian and contemporary Western techniques. This unique massage is a deep and sensitive bodywork combining: Oil & herbal powder to regulate strokes and stimulate blood & lymphatic circulation."

I always learn something from every person I randomly communicate with thanks to my camera, more or less :-)

In a fortnight Nadav will be flying to Thailand, meanwhile he enjoys walking barefooted wherever he goes. "I feel the connection to Earth and its energy," he said.

Nadav's message to my project is: "Love, divine love."

His advice to his younger self: "Follow your heart in every situation, no matter where the others go, find your own path."

4th year medical student Cody Reynolds (standing) practices an examination of the lymphatic drainage of the head and chest of Associate Dean for Clinical Sciences and Health Policy Fellow Dr. Randy Litman, DO, at University of Pikeville Kentucky College of Osteopathic Medicine (UP-KYCOM), Pikeville, KY on Tuesday, July 12, 2011. The small size of this lab forces classes to be split, extending the school day and making the instructional content inconsistent between the split classes.

Dr. Reynolds will be in the first class to graduate from (but not study in) the new Coal Building, to be finished in 2012. The building is part of the $25 million expansion project at UP-KYCOM. The project will provide the undergraduate college with a new educational facility and an expanded clinical skills center. The nine-story structure is part of the new facility that will include two lecture halls, a gross anatomy lab, two research labs, offices, small group classrooms and student study space. A clinical skills training and evaluation center that will house 12 specially equipped examination rooms will be within the building and serve as training and testing centers for students in programs using standardized patients and high-fidelity robotic patient simulators. An expanded osteopathic manipulative medicine lab and clinic will provide learning opportunities, as well as housing UP-KYCOM’s free community clinic, which will be easy to reach from the sidewalk. Plans for the building also include a new cafeteria for the campus community. "We are embarking on a vital project that will greatly enhance the excellent medical education our student doctors receive," said Pikeville College President Paul E. Patton. "At the same time, it will allow us to expand the current class size from 75 to 125 students, increasing the total enrollment from 300 to 500 students. The college initiated a capital construction campaign. In order to secure adequate funding, the board of trustees authorized borrowing up to $25 million from the USDA Rural Development. Commitments of $1.6 million have been secured through gifts and pledges, including $500,000 from the James Graham Brown Foundation. Significant grants have also been received from the Appalachian Regional Commission, and the U.S. Small Business Administration. USDA Photo by Lance Cheung
