In the Northeast US, there are two species of ticks.
Wood ticks are large and while annoying, do not cause illness. Deer ticks, barely visible to the naked eye, were introduced to the Northeast United States 30 years ago and carry Lyme disease. These microscopic intruders have impacted the outdoors experience almost as much as sprawl.
If I had a nickel for every person who told me that they now limit their outdoor activities to winter to avoid ticks, I’d be a billionaire.

Did you know that we can catch our pets’ parasites? (worms) Yup, we can. Yuck. De-worming our cats and dogs and making sure they stay “clean” is very important to them and to us. I’ll explain about the different kinds of internal parasites our “Best Friends” can get and how they get them. I’ll talk about some different drugs to cure the infestation. But your veterinarian may have a different treatment he/she likes to use so go with what your vet recommends.
Every new puppy or kitten should be checked for intestinal parasites. Every new dog or cat you adopt should also be checked. This is very simple to do. Just take a sample into your vet and let them check for eggs. Even if you see the worm in the feces (poop) you should still have the stool (poop) checked because there could be multiple kinds of worms present and some do require a different drug than another to rid the system.
BLACK HOLES
The 20th century saw a great many new discoveries regarding celestial phenomena in the universe. One of these entities, which has only recently been encountered, is the Black Hole. These are formed when a star which has consumed all its fuel collapses in on itself, eventually turning into a black hole with infinite density and zero volume and an immensely powerful magnetic field. We are unable to see black holes even with the most powerful telescope, because their gravitational pull is so strong that light is unable to escape from them. However, such a collapsed star can be perceived by means of the effect it has on the surrounding area. In Surat al-Waqi’a, Allah draws attention to this matter in this way, by swearing upon the position of stars:
And I swear by the stars’ positions-and that is a mighty oath if you only knew. (Qur’an, 56:75-76)
I sat there in the dark alone listening to the drip of water in the distance. Dad was ahead at the face of the mine setting the black powder charges before leaving the mine for the night. I heard a creaking sound above my head, and I moved to another waiting position a few feet away. Suddenly a huge bolder about twice my size fell on the spot that I had been setting just a moment before. Dad had told me to listen to the rocks and that they would warn you before something happened.
Black powder was used for the last shot of the day, it was cheaper and the smoke would have time to clear out before the next day. During the day we used dynamite made from nitroglycerin and sawdust that did not produce as much smoke. The miners hated the round boulders that stuck to the roof between the coal seam and the sandstone ceiling. You were always bumping your head on them or when you least expected it they would fall, blocking the road way or tracks in the mine. These boulders consisted of a very heavy rock unlike the sandstone or the fossils found in the border area of the ceiling. They are black like the coal and smooth like something left over from the past when the coal was still exposed to the surface. They could be fossils like the thousands of bamboo looking rocks that have to be picked out of the coal.
Definition of Aerobics:
Using the same large muscle group, rhythmically, for a period of 15 to 20 minutes or longer while maintaining 60-80% of your maximum heart rate.
Think of aerobic activity as being long in duration yet low in intensity. Aerobic activities include: walking, biking, jogging, swimming, aerobic classes and cross-country skiing. Anaerobic activity is short in duration and high in intensity. Anaerobic activities include: racquetball, downhill skiing, weight lifting, sprinting, softball, soccer and football.
Finnish sauna is an important and essential part of Finnish culture and has been for decades. Finnish saunas are places where Finns have relaxed for decades, for physical & mental relaxation. Finns view their saunas as their cultural necessity rather than luxury, with over two million saunas in Finland. In Finnish households in fact, there is a sauna in almost 8o% of homes, with these facilities servicing as a centre for popular meeting points.
Finnish saunas are integral part of the way of life in Finland, found everywhere including in private apartments, corporate headquarters, business offices, dormitories, schools, colleges, universities, hospitals, garrisons, hotels, swimming pools, gyms, and even in the Parliament and prisons. The summer cottage Finnish saunas are traditional saunas preferably near lakes. Traditionally, the facilities are hotter than Swedish or Russian saunas. Before the rise of public health care and nursery facilities, almost all Finn mothers used to give birth to their child in saunas.
To be clear about what success is must be the first step to achieving success.
So far, the best definition I have come across is: “Success is the completion of anything intended.” In other words success is finishing what you planned to do.
Even robbing a bank is a kind of success if that is what you wished to do. However, you probably did not intend to end up in prison!
