Photographed from the Spia d'Italia hill near Solferino to the "Torre monumentale di San Martino della Battaglia" about 10 km away and 70 m high. Behind it Lake Garda and the snow-covered 2,218 m high Monte Baldo. Because of its shape, Monte Baldo always reminds me of Mount Fuji, the sacred mountain of the Japanese.
The historic Battle of Solferino in June 1859 is considered one of the bloodiest of the 19th century. Around 220,000 soldiers from the Austrian Empire faced around 150,000 from the Kingdom of Sardinia and its allies France. The young Austrian Emperor Franz Josef lost the battle. This paved the way for the unification of Italy.
Up to 30,000 soldiers were killed or wounded in the course of the battle. At least 10,000 went missing or were captured. 40,000 other soldiers became ill after the battle due to lack of food, overexertion and inadequate sanitary conditions. Most did not die in the fight but later as a result of their wounds. Wounded were left on the battlefield or left to their own devices after salvage.
Henri Dunant, a Swiss humanist, during a business trip to Solferino, witnessed the terrible conditions without any help for the thousands of wounded and dying soldiers on the battlefield. Henri Dunant organized first aid with volunteers from the population and is subsequently considered the founder of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement.
Stormy must have overused her abilities for the distillation of words show she's been rehearsing for lately. You know that she has this strange mist hanging around her as a result of both being a sky child and having magical abilities related to electricity. That mist was mostly gray when she arrived, with hints of purple, similar to the color balance in her hair.
But probably due to overexertion, it became thicker and more and more purple every day. And where it was close enough to her body, it condensed and stuck on her. Like paint. It stuck on us, too. We are all partly purple at home now and we keep it a secret from everyone since it's hard to explain such a strange phenomenon and of course, we just can't say that "a tiny magician girl from the clouds has been working on his trick too much and her otherwise natural mist is hanging in the air and keeps liquefying where possible". Would you believe that?
(It even ruined her amazing dress. She's been wearing it all the time anyway and says it looks cool with the leather jacket :) Well, what can we do? We try to stay calm and cool too;) Accidents happen.)
"So what'd I miss?" Black Cat asks, seemingly excited to get into the fight.
"Oh you know, the usual. Bad guys put together a team to kill yours truly, with them failing miserably. How'd you even find me anyway? Not that I'm not grateful for the assist and all, but it would be nice to know." I reply, trying to sound as casual as I can about a group of supervillains trying to kill me.
"Right. That.. Well, I kind of put a tracer inside your mask when you know, you almost died and everything.. Figured you might need help next time. Turns out it was the right call too! Don't be mad!" She genuinely looks worried for me.
"That is a total breach of privacy! Not that I really have the time to get mad about it right now though.."
"And you know this cat girl how?" Lana crosses her arms as she's asking me this, as if she doesn't trust Felicia.
"It's kind of a long story, and I promise I'll tell you everything later. Right now, we kind of have bigger things to worry about." The remaining six members of the Femme Fatales comes at us head on. Princess Python stays in the back, with her python slithering towards us. I web its mouth shut, and provide a barrage of web balls to act as a distraction, with Black Cat closing the distance between her and Princess. The Bombshells clash, with explosions going off left right and centre. Black Cat knocks Princess out with relative ease, with her not putting up much of a fight. Raptor swoops down at me, trying to scratch me multiple times. I grab her wing with my webbing, and toss her into Scorpia. They get back up quickly enough, with them both charging at me. Skein is mostly playing the crowd control role at this point, keeping me and Lana immobilized, while the others rush in.
As Raptor's flying at me, I notice her get hit with an energy beam. It's at that point that I realize the beam came from one of their own, Beetle. Ok, gonna be honest here, I didn't see that one coming.
"What the #@%& Beetle?!" Bomb-shell yells out at her teammate, as Raptor crashes into the wall on the right side of the room.
"This façade was getting boring. I can't believe you actually thought I'd align myself with scum like you." Scorpia is able to nick me in the shoulder, after which she whips her tail into my stomach, sending me crashing through the front door that leads into the warehouse. Oww. Just when I was getting over my earlier battle wounds too.
"So why didn't you get Shocker or Electro to join your merry band of misfits? I mean sure, it kind of clashes with your girl power theme and all, but they were both more effective on their own than you all are as a group! It's so bad that one of your own teammates decides to turn against you. " I yell upon entering the warehouse once again after getting up, and running back. At least what qualifies as running after getting tossed through a door.
"More like I was playing the long game." I hear Beetle reply in her heavily modulated voice.
Bomb-Shell responds to me with more expletives than I can count, and I'm pretty sure everyone gets the picture. She's really pissed off. Black Cat is on top of some debris.
"Friendly Bombshell, light it up!" Black Cat smirks as she gestures to the debris below her. Lana creates an explosion below the debris, which sends a sheet of metal, and Black Cat, into the air. Felicia pulls out her claw grappling hook, and shoots with it hooking onto part of the catwalk. Using the momentum, she swings into Skein, kicking her into the shelving unit. Beetle and Raptor are now duking it out in the air, exchanging blows. It doesn't take long before Beetle overpowers Raptor, and sends her spiralling downwards, in which I create a web for her to land in. Another one down for the count. Bomb-Shell sends some debris at Lana with an explosion. I create a web barrier in front of Lana, as I narrowly avoid Scorpia's tail. Skein blinds me by using my costume against me, covering my eyes.
My spider sense keeps flaring up, as I try to predict where she's coming from. Sometimes, I'm successful, other times, I get hit by her massive tail. I wonder what excuse I'm gonna think of this time for Aunt May. Took a tumble on the dance floor maybe? Eh that would be a little hard to believe. Ooh, maybe she won't notice if I wear a big enough turtleneck. Guess I should worry about that after the fight. Skein tries to throw up a shield to block Black Cat and Beetle's attacks, but the cloth just droops down. Black Cat's bad luck strikes again. Wow, try saying that one ten times fast. Beetle and Black Cat take the opportunity to knock out Skein. With Skein unconscious, her powers don't effect me anymore. Bomb-Shell, realizing the fight is a lost cause, runs for the exit, but I block her path with webbing. She blows it apart rather quickly, but Lana explodes part of the wall above the exit, making sure it's blocked. I hear sirens blaring in the distance. This is pretty much over.
"This fight is pretty much over.. Until next time Spider-Man." Scorpia says bluntly, as she pulls out a device from her pocket, and presses a button. With one blink, she's gone.
"Die, die, die you $&*^%$#!!" Bomb Shell keeps on going until the bitter end.. With more and more explosions, until she just falls unconscious from overexertion. Lana doesn't look in the best of shape, as it feels like she'll faint at any moment. Beetle lands in front of me, and Felicia looks like she barely broke a sweat. I make sure the Femme Fatales are all webbed up.
"Thanks for the help Beetle." I say, thankful that we actually pulled it off.
"Anytime P-Spider-Man. I was undercover in the Femme Fatales, trying to figure out their endgame. Turns out there wasn't really much of an endgame besides killing you.. Anyways, I'm sure I'll see you around sometime. Peace!" With that, Beetle flies off, as the police enter the warehouse.
"Guess that's our cue to leave." I whisper to Felicia
"Cya later Spider." Felicia whispers back, with a sly wink before she gets out of the building.
I climb up the wall and out the window. I pull out my phone, and notice Harry texted me.
"Hey man, where are you?"
"Pete?"
"You better not be doing something stupid."
"Gah, I hate it when you do this."
"Oh yeah by the way, the dance got postponed, no surprise there."
"You better have a good explanation tomorrow."
Yikes.. First Lana, now Harry. Soon enough, I'll be all booked up on conversations I need to have tomorrow. I quickly call Aunt May to let her know I'm coming home, and I start web swinging my way home. I make sure to change out of my costume, before entering the neighbourhood. Upon arriving at the house, I open the door, and take off my shoes, before tiptoeing up the steps towards my room. It looks like Aunt May went to sleep, thank goodness. I take off my tux and dress pants, and change into something a little more comfortable. I lay on my bed, trying to get to sleep. Unfortunately for me, sleep doesn't come that easy after a brawl with supervillains. It's about 10 minutes later, before I hear the doorbell ring. Who could it be at this late hour? Lana? Nah, couldn't be. It would take her longer to get here than the time that's passed. Ah, whatever, guess I'll find out soon enough. I get up off my bed, and walk down the stairs. I see Aunt May coming from her room, but I gesture for her to go back into her room. She nods, and goes back to her room.
I open the door, and it's someone I don't recognize. She's dressed in a t-shirt that has smashed up pumpkins on it, and has sweatpants on. Also she has brown hair that's up in a ponytail. She has a curious look on her face as she looks at me.
"Peter Parker?" She finally says after a long pause.
"Yeah, that's me. And you are?"
"Oh right.. Sorry! My name's Teresa Elizabeth Parker.. I'm your sister."

Red and green flow lines tracking on buzzing CTC screens 16 monitors wide, grease laden pressure gauges, rusted cut-bars, pinched glad-hands, and struck angle-cocks. A world of swinging tools, tattered steel toes, and humor in misfortune. Persuasion through blood, sweat, and tears; not to mention expletives, brute force and overexertion of body parts.
A foreign language to the populous, speaking in control points, mile poles, x'd boxes, and authority limits. Shove 12 back to a joint job 20. Set, centered, and red-zone called. All this, transmitted on analog radio waves across archaic Kenwood receivers.
Three hour call-out as the extra-board lights up at 3:16 AM. Maintainers shed sleep from their still drowsy eyes as they back the truck out of the driveway for a midnight track light call.

"About 6 inches."
"Do you need a puller?"
"Definitely."
"Alright, I'll call the welders in."
The orchestrated precision of the railroader is one of imperfection. A world of unknowns, fed by the drive of uncertainty. Men and women who jump in the saddle, leaving all they love behind - not knowing when, and in some cases IF they will come home. All to push the American Dream into tomorrow.
In my time at Union Pacific, we had a creed we pledged to.
"I have the courage to care. Worn with a lion’s pride, it means those I work with will have my back, and I will have theirs. I pledge to shield myself and my team from harm. I will take action to keep them safe, by fixing an unsafe situation, addressing an unsafe behavior or stopping the line. In turn, I will have the courage to accept the same actions from my coworkers, who care enough to correct my path. We wear this badge out of respect for each other and those who have gone before us. On my watch, we will all go home safe to our families every day."
A wise man once told me - "Remember kid, everything we do, everything we say has to have a purpose. It has to matter, because the stuff we work with doesn't care. Everything you touch here is large, metal, and unforgiving. The rail doesn't know if your fingers are in the way - But don't worry, she'll make room."
To all my railroad family, remember times are tough, but you are tougher. Keep fighting the good fight and come home safe.

The Los Angeles Angels were a Minor League Baseball team based in Los Angeles that played in the "near-major league" Pacific Coast League from 1903 through 1957. From 1903 through 1957, the Los Angeles Angels, a PCL team, were one of the mainstays of the Pacific Coast League, winning the PCL pennant 12 times. From 1903 through 1925, the team played at 15,000-seat Washington Park (also known as Chutes Park), just south of downtown Los Angeles. Both the team and the park were founded by James Furlong "Jim" Morley (1869–1940). During this time, the Angels (or Looloos or Seraphs as they were sometimes called), won pennants in 1903, 1905, 1907, 1908, 1916, 1918, and 1921.

(Los Angeles Herald, 21 July 1908) - LOCAL AMATEUR HAS SHOWN GOOD ABILITY - Andy Francis Briswalter is 21 years of age and one of the best seml-professional pitchers that can be found in the southland at the present time. Brlswalter first went In the box for the Whittier high school team and did some fine work for that club, striking out on an average of twelve to sixteen men in each game for that club, in the County High School league. He later went to the Rivera nine, playing at Los Nietos, at times holding down first base and doing a little pitching. Afterwards he entered the Los Angeles high school, playing on the first team of that school's nine as slabster and in the infield. Manager George M. Ward of the Edison team took a fancy to him and gave him a trial on the Edison Electric team in the California Summer league, with which he has made good ever since. During one of the last Coast league local series, when the Angels were playing the Beavers at Chutes park, Manager McCredie sent Briswalter on the mound during the last three innings, and not one of the Los Angeles players got a hit off his delivery. Later in the week Capt. Dillon tried to employ him to play on his team, but owing to objections of his parents he was not permitted to go north with the Angels. In a game against the Oaklands Briswalter twirled the entire game for the Los Angeles team, letting them down with seven hits.

Yesterday afternoon Willow was acting strangely as if she was in pain; panting, drooling excessively, not able to sit. While I am not one to overreact, by last evening I felt a vet visit was in order. It was discovered she has a major injury to her tail and although it was not x-rayed the vet felt it may be broken. She was prescribed pain meds and an antibiotic to prevent infection.
After sitting with Willow, I remembered hearing a few years ago about “limber tail syndrome”. A search on the net resulted in several articles and I believe this to be what has happened to her. The short story; it is caused by exposure to cold water, overexertion and/or injury. “ Limber tail can be mistaken for an indication of a disorder of the prostate gland or anal glands; a caudal spine injury; a broken tail; or even spinal cord disease.”
I am not pretending to be a vet but this seems to make perfect sense. I had given the girls a bath, the prior day, using outside faucet well water. They had been playing in the kiddy pool and I used the same cold water thinking it would be cooling on that 100+ degree day. After her bath Willow ran around the yard like the devil himself was chasing her. She was mistaken it was just Baby Girl in hot pursuit.
This morning she is still in quite a bit discomfort but is resting. We're hoping in a few days she’s have the wag back in her tail.

6-52 Air Defense Artillery Battalion
SUWON AIR BASE — With the summer season just around the corner, Soldiers from the 6th Battalion, 52nd Air Defense Artillery recently went through a comprehensive summer safety training here, learning how to prevent and react to some of the common safety hazards associated with this time of the year.
The training, from May 23-25, consisted of classroom instruction and practical exercises on topics such as fire and grilling safety, hot weather injury prevention, survival swimming, and motor vehicle safety training.
Sergeant Keith Myles is an avid swimmer who is looking forward to the wide variety of water sports available in Korea. So he welcomed the chance to hone his skills at the survival stroke, a technique which conserves energy and prevents muscle fatigue in case a swimmer needs to stay afloat for a prolonged time.
“This is great training,” Myles said. “Soldiers are learning how to prevent overexertion and increase survivability in the water if they ever fell overboard on a boat or hurt themselves during water sports.”
According to Myles, all swimmers, no matter the skill level, are “susceptible to muscle fatigue,” so it is crucial for everyone to learn the survival stroke.
The instructors separated the advanced swimmers from less skilled ones and provided individual feedback on ways to improve.
“I cannot emphasize how important water safety training is, especially as we head into summer,” said 1st Lt. Steve Bonner, one of the primary instructors and a former Army diver.
Myles concluded, “The training has definitely made me feel more prepared and more equipped next time I go into the water.”
In addition to water sports, motorcycle riding is another popular summer past time here on the Peninsula.
First Lieutenant Steve Voglezon has been riding motorcycles for over a year now and is planning to explore the beautiful Korean countryside this summer with his Hyosung GT650R motorcycle.
During the motorcycle safety portion, Voglezon goes over his safety checklist three times to make sure he and his bike are ready for the road. Voglezon is participating in the battalion’s motorcycle mentorship club, which teaches riders safety lessons on conducting inspections and checks, as well as donning appropriate protective gear.
An essential part of the motorcycle training included road familiarization.
“We paired inexperienced riders with experienced riders to foster a creative environment for responsible riding,” said Capt. Jeffrey Freeman, officer in charge of the battalion’s motorcycle mentorship program.
As the team of Harleys and Japanese sports bikes cruised through the winding roads of Osan and Pyeontaek, participants also learned valuable lessons on group riding techniques.
“There is a common misconception that it is dangerous to ride in Korea,” said Lt. Col. William Darne, 6-52 commander and a motorcycle enthusiast. “However, through the motorcycle mentorship program, we want to educate everyone that by wearing the appropriate protective gear, practicing defense riding techniques, and maintaining constant situation awareness, riding motorcycle in Korea can indeed be fun, fulfilling, and safe.”

Happy summertime, Mighty LA District! Hooah – we got our own month!! Of course, we also share it with some rather obscure, if not downright weird, other professions and causes. To wit, June is also - no, not kidding - Skyscraper Month, Potty Training Awareness Month (OK, I guess that one’s relatively useful to most), National Iced Tea Month, National Bathroom Reading Month (I so want to know who brought THAT one to the hallowed halls of Congress), National Candy Month, National Accordion Awareness Month and National Smile Month, just to name a few. There are many others if you do a quick web search and need a chuckle or four. But I digress.
June is, in fact, National Safety Month. Every year the National Safety Council folks promote a number of things, including having a weekly topic. And this year, we actually have 5 weeks in the month, so we have an extra topic. Rather than write not nearly enough about each of the 5 topics, I’m going to give you the links for each of the weeks. There’s some really good stuff here that you can use, both at work and at home. So, without further adieu:
Week 1 - Summertime Safety
Week 2 - Preventing Overexertion
Week 3 - Teen Driving Safety
Week 4 - Preventing Slips, Trips and Falls
Week 5 - On the Road, Off the Phone
Now, you’ll find that a number of the links require a sing-up or registration to fully use them and download materials. But that’s pretty much the case with most websites these days. And the NSC is a DOD Partner in the Safety Business, so not to worry.
Let’s face it; in reality every day is a safety day. Every single day you stop at Red Lights. Every day you don’t stick your fork into an electric socket (well, none that I know of, anyway). Every single day of the year we all practice some kind of safe behavior, however small it may be. So take the time to visit these websites and tune up your safety engines.
By the way, last month we only had a small number of folks play the Safety Jeopardy game. No winners. Two from Fort Huachuca came very, very close. There’s a Safety Excellence Coin and a certificate-suitable-for-framing still in my office if someone wins. I’ll extend the game to the end of June.

Giving birth takes a toll on your body – both physically and emotionally. Many postpartum people will feel overwhelmed and exhausted after giving birth, which can make it difficult to return to a daily regimen. Other people, especially those who had a regular workout plan before and during their pregnancy, may attempt to get back to their fitness regimen before they are ready. It is important to have a postpartum workout plan, but how do you know when it is the right time to begin?
In this article I hope to answer your most pressing questions regarding postpartum exercise and when to begin.
How Soon Can You Exercise After Giving Birth?
Before you begin a strenuous exercise routine, it is important that you have clearance from your medical provider to begin exercising. This is especially true if you have had a c-section or had a complicated pregnancy or birth. In most cases, people who had a vaginal delivery can begin light physical activities a few weeks post pregnancy. Yet, you should only begin exercising as you are able.
During your 8 week postpartum check up, your doctor will most-likely recommend beginning returning to your normal pre-pregnancy routine. This can include light exercise and beginning to develop a workout plan for the months ahead. It is important that during this time you take it slow. Focusing more on spending time with your baby, your mental health, and making gradual steps toward recovery are more important than trying to lose weight fast or regaining that sexy, pre-pregnancy body.
Over the first 8 weeks or more, you may gradually integrate workouts as you regain strength in your core, upper and lower body, and neck. Ensuring that you make smart choices in your workout plan can help prevent overexertion, postpartum pain and bleeding, and help you reach a safer, sustained postpartum recovery.
It is true that 8 weeks or more can feel like a very long waiting period, but your overall health is more important than a slim body. However, making sure that the early stages of your recovery are done carefully can help you get back to a more intensive postpartum workout plan safer and sooner. Rest, hydration, and nutrition should be the focus in the early stages of your recovery.
When to Start Postpartum Workouts?
The appropriate time to begin postpartum workouts varies depending on your delivery experience. As mentioned above, many women who delivered their child without any complications or if they delivered vaginally, may begin with light exercise (i.e. walking, food prep, household activities) only a few weeks after their delivery. Women who delivered via c-section or experienced complicated birth, should wait until the 8 week mark, or talk with their medical provider before starting a fitness plan. I always recommend waiting at least 8 weeks, regardless of delivery method, in order to approach recovery well and safely.
What Are the Benefits of Exercising Postpartum?
Building a smart postpartum workout plan and returning to a consistent fitness routine may help many postpartum people close their diastasis recti gap, begin strengthening their pelvic floor, and help reduce baby weight. Some women may benefit by experiencing a sense of normalcy as they begin returning to their pre-pregnancy routine, others may benefit by having time dedicated to personal health and recovery – both with their bodily and mental health. Some of the primary benefits of building a postpartum workout plan include:
Strengthening and regaining function in your abdominal muscles and pelvic floor
Can give you a energy boost and can relieve stress
Heal from postpartum issues such as diastasis recti and pelvic organ prolapse
Can improve mental health
Improve blood circulation
Encourage better sleep
What Exercises Are Appropriate Postpartum?
When you first begin your postpartum workout, it is important that you begin focusing on the major muscle groups that have been affected by your delivery. Engaging in short-term periods of basic exercises (10 to 20 minutes) a day is a great place to start. As you continue to build strength, increase the time and intensity of your exercises as you are able. Whether you enroll in a program like Restore Your Core or plan your own workouts for postpartum recovery, a consistent, safe fitness plan can help prevent injury and relieve postpartum symptoms.
Below are some helpful exercises you can do to help build core and lower body strength.
Core Exercises
Core exercises can be a great way to begin restoring core health, function, and strength after giving birth. During your pregnancy, it is very common to experience a weakening of connective tissues and your abdominal muscles, especially postpartum. Many women will experience diastasis recti at some point during or after their pregnancy. Although it is recommended to allow for your body to heal properly before beginning most core exercises, there are a few that we recommend in your postpartum workout.
Breathing: Exercising proper breathing mechanics can significantly benefit your pelvic floor and core as your body begins to heal. Practicing rib breathing, or 3-D breathing, can help you recover as your breathing patterns may have changed after giving birth. I recommend that all my clients practice proper breathing mechanics as it is an important element in my program. This exercise can help reduce intra-abdominal pressure, engage your diaphragm and ribcage, and play an important role during your exercise routine.
Candles Breathing: To coincide with the previous technique, candles breathing can be beneficial for many postpartum people during their recovery. However, it is important that if you feel any discomfort, heaviness, or strain in your pelvic floor or core, to wait until you’re healed a bit more before continuing. To begin this exercise:
Come onto your hands and knees or sit comfortably. Try to imagine you have a cake with multiple candles on it either between your hands (if you’re on your hands and knees) or placed in front of you while sitting.
Inhale and exhale slowly blowing out all the candles. As you do so, you should feel your abs slowly moving back and at the end of the exhale – they should feel very tight.
Next, come to a sitting position and imagine there is an oval shaped object (be creative) in your vaginal canal. As you exhale and blow candles, lift that object up toward your belly button. With this movement, you should feel your deep core move both up and back as it begins at your pelvic floor. Do not squeeze your superficial vaginal muscles – the lift comes from a bit higher up than that. Do this 5X in a row, 1 X a day.
Upper Body Exercises
Your body undergoes many significant changes during and after your pregnancy. The additional weight your baby added to your belly can affect your shoulders, upper and lower back, as well as your core, body, and organ alignment. One of the most helpful exercises in our program is the floor angel.
Floor Angels: are a great way to help regain strength in your upper and lower back as you recover from your delivery. Floor angels can help relieve shoulder and chest pain/fatigue from carrying your baby and breastfeeding. To begin a floor angel:
Begin in an either seated or reclined back position. Once in position, stretch out your arms so that your shoulders are rotated enough to allow for your palms to be facing toward you and thumbs are reaching out behind you.
Relax your shoulders and rib cage downward and begin slowly moving your arms like you’re making a snow angel.
This motion can help relax and open up tight chest and shoulder muscles. Try to perform at least a few reps of this exercise every day, especially after multiple feeding sessions.
What Exercises to Avoid Postpartum
There are many exercises you should avoid during the first 8 weeks of your postpartum recovery. In our program, One Strong Mama, we firmly believe in a 5-5-5 program during the first 2 – 4 weeks before getting back into a more strenuous routine. 5-5-5 means spending 5 days resting in bed, 5 days around your bed, and 5 days within close proximity of your bed. After those two weeks are up, you can begin introducing walking and other light exercises.
Whether you are still feeling pain or feel totally fine after delivering your baby, it is extremely important that you take it slow. Performing the wrong exercises may be unhelpful to your body as it is trying to heal from a fairly large internal injury.
Avoid any exercises that apply unnecessary pressure or strain to your belly and midline. This means you should avoid any exercises that cause your belly to bulge (sit-ups, planks, squats, etc). This can cause any separation you may have experienced to worsen and can be very painful.
It is also important to avoid any heavy lifting or twisting in ways that can affect your abdomen or vaginal wall. Avoid exercises like crunches, oblique curls, roll-ups, or any similar exercises.
It may also be helpful to avoid yoga poses such as backbends or other spinal extensions as they, too, increase intra-abdominal pressure. Additionally, following advice from any flat belly programs or fast, baby weight reduction programs are a no-go. One of the most damaging lies our culture tries to instill in new mothers is that they should quickly begin trying to regain a bikini body or slim appearance.
If you are looking for a no-BS, helpful recovery program for your postpartum recovery, consider checking out our 12-week program: made by women, for women.
I'm sick. The kind of sick where you wake up with your face sealed shut by mysterious caked fluids, can't stand up without feeling faint, your eyes hurt so badly you feel like they'll burst, your nose is so tired and sore you think it will bleed from overexertion, and even your skin is nauseated. Last night it was so bad that I couldn't sleep at all. I cancelled my violin lesson so I could sleep in today, but by 10am I gave up on tossing and turning.
....And then had to clean my apartment to show to possible renters, and soon I'll have to go to the theatre and work my hands off. I can't stand without wavering, and I'm filling the air with bleach fumes, and soon I'll have to be snappy and smart backstage. I'll wear a smile as a mask, and hope it convinces even me that everything is okay. At least I'll get some snake cuddles from the deal.
I just want someone to peel the sick from my skin.
So I gathered my nearest friends for a few minutes, and told them to shut up and cuddle.
HENRY SHANE:
HEROIC SCOUT OF THE PLAINS OF TEXAS 2
This gave the courageous frontiersman another opportunity to run, and he made off as fast as his legs would carry him. A man named Patterson had a ranch near by and to this sheltering abode the plainsman now bent his footsteps. The Indians were hot on his trail and soon caught up with him, but he again pointed his stick at them. They dodged, and this gave him a second start, so that he reached the ranch-yard and jumped over the fence into the cow-pen. Uttering loud and vociferous cries, the Indians shot some arrows at him, and then turned back in order to secure the horses from the pasture. This they did and were soon galloping away with them.
The pioneer climbed out of the cow-pen, ran up to the ranch house, and called to the owner, who happened to be there:
“Come on, Patterson. If you will assist me, we will get back the horses.”
“I’m your man,” Patterson replied. “Here’s a rifle of mine. I will take a six-shooter.”
“All right,” said Shane. “We’ll see if we cannot do something to these crafty fellows. Come on!”
The two ranchmen soon met the Indians coming down the road, driving the horses before them. The valiant two stepped to one side in order to ambush the red thieves, Shane hiding behind a large cactus plant. As the foremost Indian came near, Shane took[327] good aim at him, and pulled the trigger of his rifle. But it refused to go off. The Indians heard the noise and galloped away with their captured horses, while the two ranchmen made after them. They, themselves, were ambushed and had to ride hard in order to get away from the redskins, who were reinforced by a considerable band. After their retreat the plainsmen again followed with additional numbers, but the Indians were well ahead, and the pursuit had to be abandoned.
In 1872 Mr. Shane decided to make a sheep camp about two and a half miles from where he lived, so drove down there in a wagon one morning, in order to pitch a tent and fix things for the comfort of his Mexican herder, who was off with a band of sheep. The camp was beneath the fork of a live-oak tree. The frontiersman left his wagon about a dozen yards from where he was at work, and started to put a small board between the forks of the live-oak, to serve as a shelf. Two guns were in his wagon.
While thus occupied, he suddenly heard a wild war-whoop, and found that he had been attacked by the Indians. A redskin came up behind the wagon, on horseback, and shot at the ranchman with a six-shooter, the ball striking the right-hand fork of the tree and knocking the bark into his face and eyes. The pioneer turned, in order to get his guns out of his wagon, and faced the levelled revolver of the savage. He kept cool—in spite of this danger—and, as he walked to the wagon, received two more shots from the Indian. As the redskin was behind the conveyance,[328] his shots went high, passing over the head of the frontiersman, who soon reached his wagon and looked for his guns. The Comanche saw what the white man was after, and, when he perceived that his shots had failed to take effect, he wheeled his horse and ran away. Shane seized a rifle and fired at him, killing his horse when he did so. As the pinto rolled upon the ground eight more Indians showed themselves and began to charge the lone white man. The gun which he had just discharged was a Mississippi yager, and he had no more balls for it.
But the frontiersman had another weapon: a new, single-shot Ballard rifle, and he only had two cartridges for it; one in the gun and one in his pocket. In leaving home that morning he had left his belt behind, which was full of cartridges for the Ballard. He was in a close place, but he had—as you know—been in close places before, and he was determined to make the best fight that he could. He resolved not to waste a shot. Using his wagon as a breastwork he awaited the onset of the Indians, and when they came nearer he raised his gun and aimed at them. The redskins dodged behind the prickly pear and mesquite bushes, from which they opened fire, hitting the wagon and the ground around it repeatedly.
Now occurred a lively battle. The frontiersman had tied a fat mule about one hundred feet from the wagon, where he could eat grass. A daring redskin concluded to risk his chances and get the animal, so, leaving the cover of the mesquite bushes, he advanced across open ground in order to steal the unsuspecting[329] beast. When Shane saw the Indian coming with his knife ready to sever the rope which held the mule, he determined to risk a crack at him. He was an excellent shot, and he knew that he could kill the Indian if he did not dodge too quickly. Taking a quick but accurate aim, he fired. The Comanche brave jumped high in the air, and then fell in a sheep trail and lay there. The other Indians set up a terrible howling when they saw that their companion had been killed, and several of them ran quickly, seized him by the hair and dragged him out of sight behind the prickly pear bushes. The pioneer still crouched low and waited for the Comanches to come on, but, dreading to expose themselves to such marksmanship, the Indians did not again show themselves.
Certainly things looked bad for Henry Shane, but help was at hand. The Mexican attendant heard the fight, and from the number of shots that were fired supposed that his employer had been killed. He ran to the ranch in order to inform Mrs. Shane of this fact. The lady sent four Mexicans out to see if they could not assist her husband. When they neared the scene of action the Indians decamped, leaving their dead comrade behind. The ranchers buried the Comanche brave where he had fallen in the sheep trail.
When the lucky sheepman returned to his ranch from the scene of this thrilling little battle he found that a strange happening had come to pass. The Mexican sheep-herder who had rushed home to warn his wife that the Indians had surrounded him, was found to be in a serious condition, through overexertion[330] in carrying the news of Henry’s supposed death. The poor fellow was in great pain, and, although he was placed in a wagon and was carried to San Antonio, where he could see the best physicians, he died soon afterwards.
As for the gallant Shane, he continued to have exciting adventures with the redskins, and, not long after the lucky escape which I have just narrated, had another brush with the roving Comanches. He had made a sheep camp three miles from his house, at a place called Long Hollow, and had his Mexican herder with him. This was the faithful Felipe Flores.
Early one morning Shane heard rocks rattling in the hollow below the camp, so he and Flores went out a short distance in front in order to investigate the matter. Felipe went slightly in advance, and to Shane’s questioning as to what he saw, replied:
“It is Mr. Dilliard, whom we have been expecting to help us hunt for some lost sheep.”
Shane kept on, but suddenly started back in dismay. Ten Comanches were coming for him upon the dead run.
In an instant the sheepman turned and hastened to the tent in order to seize his rifle. The Indians were right after him, and crowded Felipe so closely that he ran backward towards the fire. As a Comanche endeavored to thrust a lance into his body he fell into the flames. When this occurred the Indians opened fire upon Henry Shane, endeavoring to hit him before he could get his gun. Several balls struck the tent, but the Ranger was unscathed.
A COMANCHE WARRIOR.
[331]
Now the plainsman seized his rifle, and, wheeling around, fired at his enemies. They retreated at once and dashed into the thick brush. As they scampered away, two Indians on the same horse were seen to ride behind a thick bunch of prickly pears, only one of whom came out upon the other side.
“That second redskin is still behind the pears,” said Flores. “He is waiting there in order to shoot any one who may come out to look around.”
“I think that I’ll stir him up a bit,” said Shane, and, aiming at the bunch of pears, he let drive. Sure enough, he routed an Indian, who ran off, screeching loudly. When the spot was afterwards examined a bullet hole was seen in the pears. The redskin had had a narrow escape.
This was not Henry’s last adventure with the redskins by any means, for, about a month later he went down the river, less than a mile from his ranch, to a place called the “Indian Crossing.” There were two Mexicans with him, who had a wagon and a pair of mules. Their intention was to saw cypress logs in order to make boards and shingles for a new ranch house.
The plainsmen finished their work of loading logs and were soon ready to return home. One of the Mexicans, called Antonio, had a gun which had been resighted. He wished to have Shane try it, and therefore called out:
“Come here, Señor, and try my rifle. It can shoot well I know, but I would like to have your opinion of it. There is a tree which will make a good mark.”
[332]
“I’m agreeable,” replied Henry, taking up the gun. He fired two shots at the tree. When he had finished, the Mexican went over to see where he had hit the bark.
Over forty Indians were crossing the ford of the river near by at about this moment. They heard the rifle shots, and, learning from a scout that three white men were there, determined to surround and capture them. So they spread out like a fan in order to completely annihilate the little party. Half of the redskins came up on the bluff upon the east side, opposite Shane and his two Mexicans; the balance went to the old crossing above, so as to come around the frontiersmen upon the west side and thus cut off their retreat in both directions. Henry Shane was now in another tight box. Let us see how he fared.
A sudden rattling of rocks warned the pioneer and his companion that some one was near by. His friend (the Mexican) mounted a stump, so that he could see the crossing, and said:
“There are soldiers coming up the river.”
As he jumped down, Henry, himself, climbed up on the stump in order to have a look.
“Soldiers!” he cried. “Why, man, those are Indians!”
He immediately seized his rifle and stood prepared for action.
Antonio, as you know, had gone to look at the bullet marks upon a tree. When the Indians came down the bank of the river they encountered this Mexican and opened fire upon him. Antonio attempted to run[333] back to Shane, but, as he started forward, he was struck by a bullet, and fell into some high weeds. The Indians closed in upon the other two sheepmen, uttering wild cries of delight, for they felt that they had them, and they bore no love for Henry Shane. They were armed with Spencer carbines and commenced a rapid fire upon the bold frontiersman and his companion.
The bullets began to rain in from both sides of the creek, as Shane took shelter behind a huge cypress log and commenced the unequal battle. He was now in the tightest place that he had ever been in in his life, but he kept cool, and only fired at long intervals, and with careful aim. The redskins were uncertain as to the force they were attacking and were afraid to come down into the bed of the river and to fight at close quarters. The second Mexican crawled into a tree-top, so that only his feet were visible. He was of no assistance to the gallant frontiersman.
After shooting away for some time, the Indians decided to send a warrior on horseback below (where Shane was crouching), in order to see if all were killed, or if there were any still left. The frontiersman was on the alert, and, as the redskin approached, he caught the first motion of the reeds as he slipped through. The rest of the red men had ceased firing and were all under cover.
There was a moment of breathless anxiety. Shane held a large revolver in his hand, as he lay close to the ground, watching around the end of the log, as the fellow came in view. At once he aimed at the[334] redskin’s breast and pulled the trigger. The Comanche reeled and fell to one side of his horse, clutching the mane of the animal as it ran up a bluff. The other redskins now rose from the grass and endeavored to stop the startled beast; but he kept running around in a circle, for some time, with the Indian still hanging to his mane. At last he was captured, and a loud wailing cry told the frontiersman that the shot which he had fired had done its deadly work.
The Indians now held a council of war. They could be easily seen by Shane, where he lay. Apparently they had had sufficient fighting, for they mounted and rode off. As they disappeared from view, the happy frontiersman mounted a stump and counted forty warriors. How many he had killed besides this last one he could not tell. He took no time to investigate the matter and prepared to leave at once.
The sides of the log, behind which he had lain, were perforated with bullets. One bullet hole was in his boot leg, one was in his hat, two were in his shirt, three were in the wagon bed, and one of the mules was badly wounded. In spite of this, the animal was able to draw the wagon home with him, in which was placed the wounded Antonio. The other Mexican had crawled from his hiding-place after the fight was over. He was certainly not made of the same stern stuff as was Henry Shane.
The bold rancher and frontiersman had had a narrow escape, but he had a still narrower escape, some time later. It was upon a winter’s day, and he had gone out to a place called “Griner’s Bottom” in[335] order to listen to turkeys as they flew up to roost, for he wished to kill some of them for dinner on Christmas Eve. He found the place, and had not been there long before he heard the sound of horses’ feet. Looking around, he saw five Indians riding towards him. They seemed to be unaware of his presence.
There was no time for anything but quick action. Henry hugged the live-oak tree, against which he had been leaning. As he did so, the Indians came jogging along on both sides of him: two on one side—three on the other. It was rapidly getting dark, so they did not see the lone frontiersman. Luckily they did not look back after they had gone past. Had they done so, they would have seen Henry pressing himself flat against the tree trunk, grasping his muzzle-loading shotgun very tightly and trying to keep his teeth from chattering. Sometimes this antiquated gun missed fire. Oh, fortunate Ranger! The redskins were soon trotting onward in the darkness.
This was not the last adventure which the daring Henry had with the savages by any means, but it was the most exciting. He lived for many years upon his ranch in Uvalde County; prospered, and became one of the solid citizens of the state. Truly his was an adventurous soul. It was to such men as these, who dared to take any chance and assume any risk, that the West owes its settlement, its civilization, and upbuilding.
All honor, then, to Henry Shane,—the Texan pioneer for whom the Indian had no terrors. He passed[336] through so many hairbreadth escapes that one would think him often thankful that he was alive. Hail to this stout German who helped to make history upon the Mexican frontier!

Happy summertime, Mighty LA District! Hooah – we got our own month!! Of course, we also share it with some rather obscure, if not downright weird, other professions and causes. To wit, June is also - no, not kidding - Skyscraper Month, Potty Training Awareness Month (OK, I guess that one’s relatively useful to most), National Iced Tea Month, National Bathroom Reading Month (I so want to know who brought THAT one to the hallowed halls of Congress), National Candy Month, National Accordion Awareness Month and National Smile Month, just to name a few. There are many others if you do a quick web search and need a chuckle or four. But I digress.
June is, in fact, National Safety Month. Every year the National Safety Council folks promote a number of things, including having a weekly topic. And this year, we actually have 5 weeks in the month, so we have an extra topic. Rather than write not nearly enough about each of the 5 topics, I’m going to give you the links for each of the weeks. There’s some really good stuff here that you can use, both at work and at home. So, without further adieu:
Week 1 - Summertime Safety
Week 2 - Preventing Overexertion
Week 3 - Teen Driving Safety
Week 4 - Preventing Slips, Trips and Falls
Week 5 - On the Road, Off the Phone
Now, you’ll find that a number of the links require a sing-up or registration to fully use them and download materials. But that’s pretty much the case with most websites these days. And the NSC is a DOD Partner in the Safety Business, so not to worry.
Let’s face it; in reality every day is a safety day. Every single day you stop at Red Lights. Every day you don’t stick your fork into an electric socket (well, none that I know of, anyway). Every single day of the year we all practice some kind of safe behavior, however small it may be. So take the time to visit these websites and tune up your safety engines.
By the way, last month we only had a small number of folks play the Safety Jeopardy game. No winners. Two from Fort Huachuca came very, very close. There’s a Safety Excellence Coin and a certificate-suitable-for-framing still in my office if someone wins. I’ll extend the game to the end of June.
As always, drive safe, drive sober and buckle up! Safety Strong, People Always!

6-52 Air Defense Artillery Battalion
SUWON AIR BASE — With the summer season just around the corner, Soldiers from the 6th Battalion, 52nd Air Defense Artillery recently went through a comprehensive summer safety training here, learning how to prevent and react to some of the common safety hazards associated with this time of the year.
The training, from May 23-25, consisted of classroom instruction and practical exercises on topics such as fire and grilling safety, hot weather injury prevention, survival swimming, and motor vehicle safety training.
Sergeant Keith Myles is an avid swimmer who is looking forward to the wide variety of water sports available in Korea. So he welcomed the chance to hone his skills at the survival stroke, a technique which conserves energy and prevents muscle fatigue in case a swimmer needs to stay afloat for a prolonged time.
“This is great training,” Myles said. “Soldiers are learning how to prevent overexertion and increase survivability in the water if they ever fell overboard on a boat or hurt themselves during water sports.”
According to Myles, all swimmers, no matter the skill level, are “susceptible to muscle fatigue,” so it is crucial for everyone to learn the survival stroke.
The instructors separated the advanced swimmers from less skilled ones and provided individual feedback on ways to improve.
“I cannot emphasize how important water safety training is, especially as we head into summer,” said 1st Lt. Steve Bonner, one of the primary instructors and a former Army diver.
Myles concluded, “The training has definitely made me feel more prepared and more equipped next time I go into the water.”
In addition to water sports, motorcycle riding is another popular summer past time here on the Peninsula.
First Lieutenant Steve Voglezon has been riding motorcycles for over a year now and is planning to explore the beautiful Korean countryside this summer with his Hyosung GT650R motorcycle.
During the motorcycle safety portion, Voglezon goes over his safety checklist three times to make sure he and his bike are ready for the road. Voglezon is participating in the battalion’s motorcycle mentorship club, which teaches riders safety lessons on conducting inspections and checks, as well as donning appropriate protective gear.
An essential part of the motorcycle training included road familiarization.
“We paired inexperienced riders with experienced riders to foster a creative environment for responsible riding,” said Capt. Jeffrey Freeman, officer in charge of the battalion’s motorcycle mentorship program.
As the team of Harleys and Japanese sports bikes cruised through the winding roads of Osan and Pyeontaek, participants also learned valuable lessons on group riding techniques.
“There is a common misconception that it is dangerous to ride in Korea,” said Lt. Col. William Darne, 6-52 commander and a motorcycle enthusiast. “However, through the motorcycle mentorship program, we want to educate everyone that by wearing the appropriate protective gear, practicing defense riding techniques, and maintaining constant situation awareness, riding motorcycle in Korea can indeed be fun, fulfilling, and safe.”

Muscle aches are most commonly caused by overexertion. Maybe you simply pushed yourself too hard at the gym, moved some furniture around, or helped a friend move into a new house. When an individual is not responsive to exercises to strengthen a rotator cuff, surgery may be the only option. Bursitis and tendinitis of the rotator cuff usually responds quite well to non surgical treatments including medication, rest and exercises to strengthen the rotater cuff: Visit us at- Email-info@etoims.com,Contact- +1 215-387-0550 or www.etoims.com/

There are many others if you do a quick web search and need a chuckle or four. But I digress.
June is, in fact, National Safety Month. Every year the National Safety Council folks promote a number of things, including having a weekly topic. And this year, we actually have 5 weeks in the month, so we have an extra topic. Rather than write not nearly enough about each of the 5 topics, I’m going to give you the links for each of the weeks. There’s some really good stuff here that you can use, both at work and at home. So, without further adieu:
Week 1 - Summertime Safety
Week 2 - Preventing Overexertion
Week 3 - Teen Driving Safety
Week 4 - Preventing Slips, Trips and Falls
Week 5 - On the Road, Off the Phone
Now, you’ll find that a number of the links require a sing-up or registration to fully use them and download materials. But that’s pretty much the case with most websites these days. And the NSC is a DOD Partner in the Safety Business, so not to worry.
Let’s face it; in reality every day is a safety day. Every single day you stop at Red Lights. Every day you don’t stick your fork into an electric socket (well, none that I know of, anyway). Every single day of the year we all practice some kind of safe behavior, however small it may be. So take the time to visit these websites and tune up your safety engines.
By the way, last month we only had a small number of folks play the Safety Jeopardy game. No winners. Two from Fort Huachuca came very, very close. There’s a Safety Excellence Coin and a certificate-suitable-for-framing still in my office if someone wins. I’ll extend the game to the end of June.
As always, drive safe, drive sober and buckle up! Safety Strong, People Always!

This is Doyle posing for me at the top of the Heavens Gate Trail before he, Doug, Melody, and I would head down the nearly mile long trail to where we had parked our cars. Because of the strong sun, I could not get a decent image even using spot focus so I had to use the on camera flash of my Canon Powershot SX50. I lowered the level of flash to minimize its effect but asked Doyle to remove his sunglasses to avoid seeing the reflection of the flash in the lenses of his dark glasses. Doyle made a good subject for a portrait. His looks in this photo reflect the gentle conversation the hour or two Melody and I spent with him. He was happy to have climbed to the top of the trail but said his wife might scold him for straining his heart. I never thought he was in danger of overexertion because we stopped often and did not hurry up the steep trail. He certainly does look happy in this photo and the Seven Devils Peaks made of mighty backdrop for Doyle's portrait.
DJ Product’s WasteCaddyLite waste container puller is specifically designed to pull heavy waste containers to pick up or processing locations and it significantly decreases the risk of injury to employees or property managers. Pushing heavy containers is a high risk activity for property managers and often requires several employees working together to get waste or recycling containers from one point to another. DJ Product’s WasteCaddyLite container puller reduces injuries arising from accidents and from overexertion. It can also make a three or four person job into a one person job saving labor costs.
The WasteCaddyLite container puller is ideal for pulling heavy waste containers, recycling containers and dumpsters from one point on a property to another. Applications include moving waste containers at apartments or condominiums to the curbside pick up site, moving recycled material from one part of the plant to another and moving heavy dumpsters from waste storage enclosures to the trash hauler pickup areas.
The WasteCaddyLite waste puller has a compact, ergonomic design which makes it perfect for maneuvering heavy waste containers in tight areas. The waste puller latches on to containers and can move them down hallways, in parking garages, down aisles and through doors. The WasteCaddyLite is also engineered to get excellent traction in a variety of weather conditions, including snow, slight, and gravel. The 36-volt power allows units to move garbage containers up to 10,000 pounds over a variety of inclines.
These waste pullers are currently being used at hospitals, hotels, shopping malls, office buildings and manufacturing complexes. Many businesses have realized a quick return on this investment by having lower labor costs and workers compensation injuries.

In the spring of 1861, when men were called to join the Union army and fight for their country, Isabella Fogg of Calais, Maine, felt that she was called also. She felt compelled to leave the quiet and seclusion of her home, and do all that a woman could do to sustain the hands and the hearts of those who had the great battle of freedom to fight.
Isabella Fogg followed her son Hugh, a member of the 6th Maine Regiment, to Washington, DC, and she soon volunteered to work for the Maine Camp and Hospital Association, based back in Portland, Maine. She began visiting hospitals in the Washington area.
In September, 1861, Fogg turned her attention to the post hospital at Annapolis, in which the spotted typhus fever had broken out. One or more fell victims to it daily, much alarm existed, and it was difficult to obtain nurses for the sufferers. Fogg volunteered her services, and week after week, was on duty in the fever ward, constant in her devotion to the patients, and indifferent to the danger of infection. This duty lasted until the spring of 1862.
The epidemic subsided, and Fogg placed herself under the direction of the U.S. Sanitary Commission, and took part in the spring of 1862, in the Hospital Transport Service. By the fall of 1862, the Maine Soldier's Relief Agency, headquartered in Washington, had assumed responsibility for coordinating relief efforts for Maine soldiers.
She realized that the greatest need for assistance was in the field, not in the Washington hospitals. She and other ladies from the Camp and Hospital Association and the Maine Soldier's Relief Agency pressed for permission to travel to the battlefields.
On November 1, 1862, Isabella Fogg and Harriet Eaton of the Association, together with Charles C. Hayes of the Agency, set out for Sharpsburg, Maryland, to help "her boys" from the Pine Tree State who had fallen during the Battle of Antietam. Almost two months after the battle was fought, the hospital grounds had deteriorated to the point that she was "horrified to find sick and wounded soldiers, supposedly long since removed, still languishing all over the area."
As the Maine women had not expected the great number of people in need, their single wagon carried little that was not depleted within minutes. So, after promising to apply pressure on the agency for more relief stores, Fogg's team continued on a snow-covered road toward Bakersville - a 20-minute ride by horse and creaking wagon.
Reaching the village, they discovered 20 badly injured soldiers of the 5th Maine "left in a school house in care of a steward, without supplies; found him making every effort to keep them comfortable." The Maine women repeated the promise made at Smoketown to contact the agency for much-needed supplies.
Fogg and her companions ran into difficulties with the U.S. Sanitary Commission, which they felt ought to have had the situation under control for many weeks. Nevertheless they pressed on, distributing whatever supplies they could find to the soldiers. The journey continued to other field hospitals at Sharpsburg, Berlin (Brunswick today), Harpers Ferry, Keedysville and eventually Hagerstown.
When General George B. McClellan's army crossed the Potomac, Isabella Fogg followed, and early in December 1862, was again at the front, where she was a sad spectator of the fatal disaster of the Battle of Fredericksburg. Mrs. J. S. Eaton from the Maine Camp Hospital Association had accompanied Fogg to the front. During the sad weeks that followed, these devoted ladies labored in the hospitals, and dispensed their supplies of food and clothing, not only to the Maine boys, but to others who were in need.
When the Battle of Chancellorsville was fought in the first days of May 1863, Fogg and Mrs. Eaton spent almost a week of incessant labor, much of the time day and night, in the temporary hospitals near United States Ford, dressing wounds, attending to the poor fellows who had suffered amputation and furnishing cordials and food to the wounded who were retreating from the field, pursued by the enemy.

McClellan's army crossed the Potomac, Isabella Fogg followed, and early in December 1862, was again at the front, where she was a sad spectator of the fatal disaster of the Battle of Fredericksburg. Mrs. J. S. Eaton from the Maine Camp Hospital Association had accompanied Fogg to the front. During the sad weeks that followed, these devoted ladies labored in the hospitals, and dispensed their supplies of food and clothing, not only to the Maine boys, but to others who were in need.
Mrs. Fogg reached the Gettysburg battlefield the day after the final battle. Fogg labored among this great mass of wounded and dying men for nearly two weeks.
In the winter of 1864, Isabella made a short visit home, and the Legislature granted a sizeable sum of money to be placed at her disposal, to be spent at her discretion for the comfort and care of Maine soldiers.
At the opening of the Overland Campaign of May 1864 Fogg went to Belle Plain and to Fredericksburg again, and in company with scores of others worked night and day to relieve the indescribable suffering of the wounded who filled that city after the Battles of the Wilderness and Spotsylvania Court House.
After two or three weeks, Fogg went to Port Royal, to White House, and finally to City Point, where she helped organize one of the hospitals there. She returned to Maine, where she received the news that her son, who was in the Army of the Shenandoah, had been wounded at the Battle of Cedar Run.
She abandoned her work in Maine, and hurried to Martinsburg, Virginia, where she met a friend, one of the delegates of the Christian Commission, and learned that her son had been badly wounded and underwent amputation of one leg. After a few days, he had been transferred to a Baltimore hospital. She hurried to that city, and with great joy, found him doing well, but anxiety and overexertion soon prostrated her own health, and she was laid up for a month or more.
In November, 1864, Isabella's health had improved, and she returned to Washington. Her ties with the Maine Camp and Hospital Association were severed by them in 1863 for reasons that are not clear. Still wanting to help others, she volunteered with the U.S. Christian Commission.
Fogg was directed to report to Annie Wittenmyer, who was the Commission's Agent for the establishment of Special Diet Kitchens in the Hospitals. Mrs. Wittenmyer assigned her a position in charge of the Special Diet Kitchen aboard the hospital ship Jacob Strader on the Ohio River.
While on duty on this boat in January, 1865, Isabella Fogg accidentally fell through an open hatch, permanently injuring her spine. Officers of the Army of the Potomac, including Generals Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, George Gordon Meade and Ulysses S. Grant were instrumental in seeing that Fogg received a federal pension for her dedicated service during the war.
Practically a child bride when she married William Fogg of Calais in 1837, Isabella crossed the St. Croix River to live in Maine and have three children, including a son named Hugh Morrison Fogg.
Widowed by 1860, Fogg apparently doted on Hugh, possibly her only child to survive.
In September 1861, Isabella Fogg and Ruth Mayhew arrived in Annapolis, Md., where spotted fever “was raging with fearful malignity” in an Army hospital.
In this photo I am employing the Calm-a-Lid on Mia, Fifi's mom. Normally an alpaca would never allow you to trim its nails by yourself, let alone with other people helping to restrain.
However, with the Calm-a-Lid on her she stood perfectly and quietly still, allowing me to lift up each foot and trim her feet.
Both of us were saved from overexertion, stress, and possible injury. A real win-win!

Lili (リリ, Riri?) is a Monaco native, and the only daughter of a wealthy and pacifistic oil magnate. She resides in a very luxurious suburban mansion with her father and her butler, Sebastian. Her real name is Emily Rochefort. At the age of twelve, Lili struggled violently to free herself from a group of kidnappers, and she unexpectedly took out one of her captors. At that moment, she first realized she took pleasure in defeating her opponents.
This does come with a setback, however. She only wants to please her good-hearted father, whom she knows loathes fighting because he wants his daughter to be a prim and proper lady and not a thug. Troubled by her situation, she tells herself, “I don't want Father to be upset with me... but I also want to fight.” Her desire to fight could not be controlled any longer, and for this reason, she uses her family's private jet to travel abroad to take part in worldwide street fighting tournaments, which she enjoyed immensely. This was done under the guise of a "simple vacation" from her homeland to calm her father's suspicions for the moment.
One day, after defeating an opponent in San Francisco, she acquired an invitation to The King Of Iron Fist Tournament 5. Lili noticed that the sponsor of the tournament, the Mishima Zaibatsu, had caused her father much trouble in the past. With the assumption of the Mishima Zaibatsu being a useful potential asset to her father, she was determined to take part in the tournament and win to put an end to her father's business troubles. (Her in-game epilogue shows her happy that she won the tournament, thinking that she has in turn made her father ecstatic, but she has actually caused her father's oil company to file for bankruptcy after the split-up of the Mishima Zaibatsu with the company.)
Lili thus participated in the King of Iron Fist Tournament 5 without telling her father. However, after losing to her rival Asuka, her chances of winning failed miserably, causing her to return home to Monaco in defeat. What's worse, her father knew of her involvement in the tournament (presumably thanks to one or both of the men in the black suits in one official artwork of Lili), and as punishment for her disobedience he forbade her from leaving the house until further notice, thwarting her chances of a rematch with Asuka.
Sometime after she was grounded, the Mishima Financial Group seized the oil fields her family owned and profited from. Rochefort Enterprises fell into disrepute, and Lili's father (who was forced to cope with the takeover) collapsed from overexertion. Lili, who was worried about her father's well being, believed that if she were able to reclaim her father's oil fields somehow from the Mishima Financial Group, she would without a doubt remove his anxiety. While she deeply thought how to best act, the Mishima Financial Group announced the opening of the King of the Iron Fist Tournament 6. Believing this was her big break, Lili entered the tournament for her father's sake.
On December 11, 1944, a massive snowstorm hit the City of Toronto and its surrounding areas. A total of 57 cm was recorded after two consecutive days of snowfall, with a staggering 48 cm falling the first day alone. All traffic and businesses were shut down and 21 people died as a result of the storm, 13 of which were from heart attacks caused by the overexertion of shovelling snow. Vaughan Township was also affected by the snowstorm. In this image, Alvin Baker stands on Dufferin Street, north of Langstaff, next to a wall of plowed snow.
