He should have been dewormed by the breeder at least 3 times if not 4 times before leaving them. Most breeders start deworming pups at 14 days old, because the pups get round worms from the dam's milk (even if she has been dewormed and is in excellent health ). Then the pups are dewormed every two weeks............

Call the vet, the dewormer isn't expensive and a breeder should be shot for not deworming their litter properly, considering it is such a minor expense.

Forget about the days
when its been cloudy, but
don't forget your hours in the sun

Forget about the times
you've been defeated, but
don't forget the victories you've won

Forget about mistakes
that you can't change now, but
don't forget the lessons
that you've learnt

Forget about misfortunes
you encounter, but
don't forget the times
your luck has turned

Forget about the days
when you've been lonely, but
don't forget the friendly smiles you've seen

Forget about the plans
that didn't seem
to work out right, but

Don't forget to Always Have A Dream !

Ladies First

It is common to hear the expression 'ladies first'. Women, in particular, daily repeat it as if it is a rule. They actually feel proud of it, unknowing its origin and its real indications. They think it is praise to them, while it is a shame to be said according to its origin

The story of this saying took place in Italy. It is about two lovers who loved each other so much. They decided to marry. But some social circumstances and relatives block the way of their marriage. They did not accept this and intentionally decided either to live together as husband and wife, or to die together

Having done best to achieve the marriage, they got disappointed. Dying together was the only option. They thought about a number of ways to commit the suicide

Throwing themselves into the sea was the appropriate way to them. The man sincerely said he would not bear the situation of seeing her drowning to death in front of his eyes. He convinced his beloved that he would throw himself first and then she would do so latter

In the rush moment, the man did it and drown. The lady was looking at him as if he was 'singing'. The man was dead. It was the lady's turn to follow him to live together underneath, as they decided. But she soon broke her promise, forgetting her sweetheart who was dying in front of her eyes and in heart as well

She 'threw herself back to the village'. Yes! Her promise was to throw herself. And she did, but to the village instead of the sea

She came back home, to her relatives as if nothing has happened. Few days later, she fell in love with another man. She was happy with him as if it was her first love. It did not take a lot of time till she got married to him

Since then, people start doubting ladies and start repeating the saying 'ladies first', with the implication that ladies should throw themselves into the sea first, should die first, because they are not trustworthy

It is really interesting when one hears a lady proudly says 'ladies first', thinking that she adds a privilege for being a female. Some people, men and women, take it as a social rule, unknowing its real indications.

This is not a personal point of view. It is not, moreover, a personal interpretation of the story. It is what many sources say and interpret the original story. So, women please forgive me for shedding light on this

I do only a favor for women so that to be aware of when to say 'ladies first' and when not to say. For me, I don’t care if I hear a woman saying this. I way ignore or pretend deafness. But others may take it a matter of satire

Having known this, women may reject this saying. They may claim that 'Ladies last' is better

This saying has been common for several years. And men never reject it. Though the proverb has a negative implication on women, men do really accept it as it is, following it as a matter of respect to women whenever they come across

See the difference, men do not feel teased whenever women shout for being 'the first', unknowing its real implications. But the case is taken differently by women when the verse happens

In spite of this, men will not change their respect and intimacy to women. They will take women to be first when they positively look at 'ladies first'. And similarly, they will insist to make 'ladies last' when it is negative to put them at first. The problem, however, lies in women themselves who do not accept everything normally as it is

Women claim to be first. They do not take it normally whether to be first or last. Men, on the other hand, accept women to be first not for the saying 'ladies first' but for the social respect of men towards women
So it is only a matter of respect. It is not a rule, and it is better to be not a rule because it will be a negative aspect of women

Spotlighting on this is not to provoke the matter between men and women. But it is to learn a lesson that both are 'first and both can be last'. There must be mutual acceptance and integration between the two sexes. So this is a call firstly for women, because of "ladies first", and secondly for men to look at the matter through the mind's eye

Crazy English

Let’s face it: English is a crazy language. There is no egg in eggplant or ham in hamburger, neither apple nor pine in pineapple

English muffins were not invented in England or french fries in France. Sweetmeats are candies, while sweetbreads, which aren’t sweet, are meat

We take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig. And why is it that writers write, but fingers don’t fing, grocers don’t groce, and hammers don’t ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn’t the plural of booth beeth? One goose, 2 geese. So, one moose, 2 meese? One index, two indices? Is cheese the plural of choose

If teachers taught, why didn’t preachers praught? If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat

In what language do people recite at a play and play at a recital? Ship by truck and send cargo by ship? Have noses that run and feet that smell? Park on driveways and drive on parkways

How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? How can the weather be hot as hell one day an cold as hell another

When a house burns up, it burns down. You fill in a form by filling it out and an alarm clock goes off by going on

When the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it, but when I wind up this essay, I end it

A Story Carries A Lot of Feelings

A Story Carries A Lot of Feelings

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A little girl and her father were crossing a bridge.

The father was
kind of scared so he asked his little daughter

"Sweetheart,

please hold my hand so that you don't fall into the river."

The little girl said, "No, Dad. You hold my hand."

"What's the

difference?"asked the puzzled father.

There's a big difference," replied the little girl.

If I hold your hand and something happens to me, chances are

that I may let your hand go.

But if you hold my hand, I know for

sure that no matter what happens, you will never let my hand go."

In any relationship,

the essence of trust is not in its bind, but in its bond

I'M MISSING YOU

Why can't I speak when I have so much to tell?
Why can't I write when I have so much in mind?
Why can't I sing when there's music in my heart?
Why can't I dance when there's rhythm in the air?

Too many words left unspoken
Too many things left undone
Why can't it be and why can't I?
For all I know this pain deep inside
Took the gladness from my heart.

Is this the pain of missing you?
Is this the reason behind it all?

When will the waiting ever be ove?
For as long as were apart I can never be whole
Oh! My Dearest Love
I just want you to know
That my heart is aching because

"I'M MISSING YOU!"

The Revival of Jane Austen by N. Zeynep Yelce

The Revival of Jane Austen by N. Zeynep Yelce "Let other pens dwell on guilt and misery. I quit such odious subjects as soon as I can, impatient to restore everybody, not greatly in fault themselves, to tolerable comfort and to have done with all the rest." Jane Austen

Jane Austen has returned to bring the world  back to its senses.  Hollywood's honest heroine for 1996 proved to be  Jane Austen with Sense and Sensibility nominated for Oscar in seven  categories and Emma nominated for Costume Design and selected for Music  Original Musical or Comedy Category.  Sense and Sensibility brought Emma  Thompson an Oscar for Best Screenplay based on materials previously  produced or published, making her the first woman to be nominated for  both  Best Actress and screenwriter in the same year.  

It was in 1796 when Jane Austen started writing  Pride and Prejudice in her small house in Chawton, Hampshire. Could she  ever imagine in her wildest dreams that 200 years later her stories  would interest millions of people from all over the world? Could she  have believed that  Sense and Sensibility would become the 160th most  popular of all films made between 1900 and 1997?  Could we, when  studying Jane Austen in school and/or university, foresee that we would  rush to the cinemas to see the latest Austen film? Hollywood could...  

My reasons for writing this paper are not to  discover whether Jane Austen adaptations are successful or not; but  rather to find out why they have become so popular in a cinematic  context dominated by action films. How could stories from the late 18th  and early 19th centuries find an audience in an era dominated by  disaster films?

Jane Austen's popularity can be traced back to the  second decade of the 19th century. Although she started writing in her  early twenties, her first book was published in 1811. At 36, Austen  published Sense and Sensibility on her own expense. She had thought that  sales of the book would not repay the expenses, therefore she had put  aside some of her limited income. However, Sense and Sensibility not  only covered its expenses, but made a profit of about £150.  It was an  immediate success; and encouraged Austen to write further novels.  Pride  and Prejudice followed in 1814 in three volumes; later the first  edition of Mansfield Park, though it was badly printed and full of  mistakes, sold out in six months.

United States of America Country Brief Political

United States of America Country Brief

Political

The United States is a liberal democracy with a federal political structure comprising 50 states and the District of Columbia. The federal government is characterised by a separation of the powers of the executive from the legislative and judicial functions. The constituent states have significant powers of self-government.
Heading the executive is a president elected every four years in a national contest by universal suffrage. Voting is state-based on a first-past-the-post basis. Each state is assigned seats equal to the sum of its electoral representatives in a 538-member electoral college. The president serves as head of state, commander in chief of the armed forces and head of the civil service.
The legislature, known as the Congress, consists of the 100-member Senate and the 435-member House of Representatives. Senators are elected on a state basis and serve six year terms. Each state is represented by two Senators. Representatives are elected from single-member constituencies and serve two year terms. Congress has sole powers for the making of legislation and operates through a system of committees. Legislation must be approved by both chambers to become law. The president can veto legislation, but can be overridden by two-thirds majorities in both chambers.
The Supreme Court is the highest judiciary body in the United States and leads the judicial branch of the U.S. federal government. It consists of the Chief Justice of the United States and a number of Associate Justices decided by Congress. There are currently eight Associate Justices on the Supreme Court. The Justices are nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate. The Court is the highest tribunal in the nation for all matters arising under the Constitution and the laws of the United States. It has the authority to invalidate legislation or executive actions which it deems to conflict with the Constitution.
The United States has two broad party coalitions, the Democrats and the Republicans. There is an absence of electorally viable third parties. The Democratic Party evolved from the party of Thomas Jefferson in the late 1700s. The Republican Party was formed by a coalition opposed to slavery led by Abraham Lincoln in the 1850s. Both parties embrace a wide variety of views and have supporters across the community.
Barack Hussein Obama is the forty-fourth and current President of the United States of America. President Obama was elected in the November 2008 presidential election. President Obama's term commenced with his inauguration on 20 January 2009. The next Presidential election will be held in 2012.
Congressional and gubernatorial elections took place on 4 November 2008. All 435 United States House of Representatives seats and roughly one third of the 100 United States Senate seats were contested in this election, as well as 11 state governorships. The Democratic Party increased its majority in both Houses, with a 256-178 advantage in the House of Representatives (1 seat in the House of Representatives is currently vacant). The Democrats also enjoy a 57-40 current advantage in the United States Senate (1 seat in the Senate is currently vacant). The Democrats made a net gain of one Governorship from the 11 contested.
The 111th US Congress was sworn in on 6 January 2009. Nancy Pelosi (D-Ca) was re-elected as Speaker of the House of Representatives and Senator Harry Reid (D-Nevada) was re-elected as Senate Majority Leader.

Bilateral Relations

Vital national interests are advanced through strong relations with the United States. As the world's largest economy and strategic player, the US has a significant influence in international affairs. We engage with the United States closely and advocate our views across a very broad range of international issues. While Australian and American interests converge on a majority of international policy issues, we do not agree on all issues. Where this is case, Australia pursues its interests separately from the United States.

Ezra Pound - The Garret

Come, let us pity those who are better off than we are.
Come, my friend, and remember
       that the rich have butlers and no friends,
And we have friends and no butlers.
Come, let us pity the married and the unmarried.

Dawn enters with little feet
       like a gilded Pavlova
And I am near my desire.
Nor has life in it aught better
Than this hour of clear coolness
       the hour of waking together.

Ezra Pound (1885 - 1972)

Ezra Pound is generally considered the poet most responsible for defining and promoting a modernist aesthetic in poetry. In the early teens of the twentieth century, he opened a seminal exchange of work and ideas between British and American writers, and was famous for the generosity with which he advanced the work of such major contemporaries as W. B. Yeats, Robert Frost, William Carlos Williams, Marianne Moore, H. D., James Joyce, Ernest Hemingway and especially T. S. Eliot. His own significant contributions to poetry begin with his promulgation of Imagism, a movement in poetry which derived its technique from classical Chinese and Japanese poetry - stressing clarity, precision, and economy of language, and foregoing traditional rhyme and meter in order to, in Pound's words, "compose in the sequence of the musical phrase, not in the sequence of the metronome." His later work, for nearly fifty years, focused on the encyclopedic epic poem he entitled The Cantos.

Ezra Pound was born in Hailey, Idaho, in 1885. He completed two years of college at the University of Pennsylvania and earned a degree from Hamilton College in 1905. After teaching at Wabash College for two years, he travelled abroad to Spain, Italy and London, where, as the literary executor of the scholar Ernest Fenellosa, he became interested in Japanese and Chinese poetry. He married Dorothy Shakespear in 1914 and became London editor of the Little ReviewPisan Cantos (1948). After continuous appeals from writers won his release from the hospital in 1958, Pound returned to Italy and settled in Venice, where he died, a semi-recluse, in 1972. in 1917. In 1924, he moved to Italy; during this period of voluntary exile, Pound became involved in Fascist politics, and did not return to the United States until 1945, when he was arrested on charges of treason for broadcasting Fascist propaganda by radio to the United States during the Second World War. In 1946, he was acquitted, but declared mentally ill and committed to St. Elizabeth's Hospital in Washington, D.C. During his confinement, the jury of the Bollingen-Library of Congress Award (which included a number of the most eminent writers of the time) decided to overlook Pound's political career in the interest of recognizing his poetic achievements, and awarded him the prize for the
