I'll have these moments where I am calm, collected, and feel like I can, in fact, complete all of the tasks I've set out for myself, and then I'll get home and completely lose all that motivation.

My Favorite Day of the Week: Prison Time

As you know, yesterday was our first meeting with the inmates since our kerfuffles needed unkerfuffling. So, let me get ya'll updated.

First, it was SO fun seeing the guys again. We all missed each other so much! I have a mix of good news and bad news, so I'll start with the bad first: we have two dogs who are terminally ill. The last coordinator didn't get them vetted in time to get them treated and now that our rescue coordinator who is amazing has gotten that done, it's been discovered it's too late. So her rescue organization will sponsor them until end of life and make the call when to euthanize, but for now they are staying with their handlers and if one of them makes it long enough, she will go into a hospice adoption with her handler later this year.

One of our purebreds was transferred to a purebred rescue to give him a better chance at adoption, so in his spot we got this new beautiful dog who, honestly, looks like a coyote wearing socks. She's so sweet and might be a service dog candidate with Tadsaw, that remains to be seen.

As for the dogs and handlers, like I said, we were all very excited. We got a new location due to some issues with the old one (prison things, warden went over it) and while it's smaller, it should be fine until the weather cools. We're hoping to get a second room and split into two groups to get more space.

Our two shyest dogs are more open and happy, bonded with their handlers. One of them even made a friend with our third lifer dog, Pie (due to having been in for three years, he's mostly unadoptable as he'd have too much separation anxiety. The rescue is sponsoring him as well but he's expected to live a long happy life with his handler). Which means Pie gets extra exercise (he's a fat boi who is working on it and gradually showing improvement).

Our crazy girl Mauve is doing so well on her leash skills! All the dogs are working leash skills this week and next week, as that is one of if not the most common reason to return a dog. We'll also be using my body language 101 handout as homework next week so we can go over that with the handlers.

We'll be adding back up handlers soon per dog, so that there's never a stranger with them. And as inmates go in and out we'll have more ready to go trained handlers for each batch of dogs.

Our new dog, Molly, is best friends with Mauve and we're not fully convinced they aren't related, due to their location they were found in, their ages, and their appearance. Regardless, they are so sweet and cute together which is great because Mauve needs a friend who can keep up with her energy.

Next week, we start figure 8s, sitting for greeting and a brush up on "down". I'll be with the rescue coordinator because our second trainer has a few things and can't make it but she'll be back when we meet again, hopefully with them having read the body language 101.

I can't stress enough how great it is to walk into a room full of smiling faces and happy dogs (many of whom were super shut down when they entered the program). Our handlers are amazing. I can't believe that in the small time we've known them, they've gone from a bit standoffish and not really friendly to each other to smiling, cracking jokes and teasing one another about this or that with their different dogs. They know they are doing a great thing and some of these dogs come from horrendous situations. I'm so proud of the work they've done, even with our sporadic (and hopefully more consistent now that we've met with the warden and gotten a new coordination with the prison) meetings. The real test will be our next batch of dogs, but this group (who has had far too long due to the issues previously) is going very well. I anticipate they'll all graduate (less our three lifer dogs) and the next group will have its small hiccups, but also thrive.

I'm so honored to be part of something that brings so much joy to everyone. The inmates are happy (even those not in the program are having fun watching the dogs and asking how to get in), the dogs are happy, us trainers are happy, the rescue organization is happy and our coordinator and warden are happy. It's a win win win for everyone.

It's my favorite part of the week and I can't wait to see where it goes.

As always, be kind to yourself, to your dogs, and to others. It's free to be kind.

Here's a picture of Orange Cat (legal name Lionblaze but we call him orange cat lol) looking smug and satisfied for ya'll who are here for the cute animals.

Daily Log 4

Trying out (probably just temporarily) making short daily-ish notes about things, in an attempt to see if it helps me be more reflective or productive lol.

Activities: Woke up late because I went back to sleep with a headache briefly, then kind of struggled to focus all day ToT

Worked more on the aforementioned tapestry/painting type of thing. I've done the base layer of painting for the main image, now I'm lining in darker outlines. I wanted to finish the center art before getting into the intricate borders. Still haven't translated the text lol..

Made a small bowl and also a little box with a lid out of more avocado pits. Still just with random nail cuticle tool things and kitchen knives, as I don't have proper carving tools.

Finished editing and proofreading the new poll adventure post!! I don't have time to post it tonight because I need to get to sleep early but.. I have it Completely 100% Ready.. finally..

Also washed the clothes I got together yesterday. Called about the bloodwork. Sent an email to a doctor.

Reviewed some writing documents to get back into my game maybe?? (basically, I started working on a visual novel type game a few years ago, decided it was a huge project so kind of put it on the backburner for a while in favor of things that were more easily finishable/tangible. then later on a game website I play (similar to neopets or something, there are collectable little creatures, etc.) there was an opportunity for me to design a pet on site, so I made a smaller shorter visual novel centered around that, where people on the site have to play the game in order to earn the pet, and I have a google form for them to answer a few short questions about it. All of the feedback is quite positive (reached 200 responses a while ago! though still only like 4 comments on the itch.io page lol.. Mandatory Form vs. Optional Comments evil showdown), but sometimes I get commentary that's really enthusiastic and inspires me to start back working on the OTHER bigger game. The small game was kind of like, a proof of concept that was safe because I had a guaranteed audience, that has helped me gain more insight for the larger one.

Anyway, since I've abandoned the Main Large Game for so long, I have to re-read and review/probably rewrite A LOT of things just to pick it back up again as A Thing I'm Actively Working On, so it's another one of those tasks that I do maybe 45 minutes of and then realize it's going to take days and days and get discouraged lol..

Notable sights: Saw two cats in windows. No clovers. It rained a little today but I didn't get to go outside and see it. One of the pieces of asparagus in the fridge was like the size of a carrot, comically overgrown downright ridiculous looking asparagus. Maybe I'll get taller after eating it.

Goals moving forward: Consistent sleep schedule. Focus on social activities, finding new friends in the places I want to move, communicating with ones I have. Physical therapy exercises. Plant nasturtiums. Finish and upload videos, edit costume pictures & etc.

Notable foods: ASPARAGUS AGAIN BABEY.. yeaAAAAGHHH asparagus squad !!!!!!

So a typical medical professional then. Or a medicine student. Depends on wether he’s looking you straight in the eyes while chugging the can of energy drink or not.

Will solace is the kind of guy to tell you to get 8 hours of sleep, say that mental health is important, and how you should eat 3 meals a day and then pull all nighters, neglect his mental being, and forget to eat because he uses all his time to take care of other people

शीघ्रपतन गुप्त या यौन समस्या:

यदि आप शीघ्रपतन से पीड़��त गुप्त रोगी हैं, तो आपको अपनी इस गुप्त समस्या के बारे में निश्चित ही इसके सही तथ्यों के बारे में जानकारी होनी चाहिए। वास्तव में, भारत में 35-40% लोग (18 वर्ष से ऊपर) इस मानसिक व मनोवैज्ञानिक गुप्त विकार से प्रभावित हैं। दुनिया में, 30-35% से अधिक लोग अपने यौन जीवन में शीघ्रपतन की इस गुप्त समस्या की रिपोर्ट करते हैं। पुरुषों में होने वाले इस गुप्त समस्या (शीघ्रपतन) के दो अर्थ हैं। सबसे पहली बात कि यह कोई यौन समस्या नहीं है, बल्कि यौन शिक्षा और आत्म-जागरूकता की कमी के कारण व्यक्ति के यौन जीवन के यह घटना होती है। दूसरी बात, यह एक गुप्त समस्या है और यह व्यक्ति के यौन जीवन में स्खलन के समय को प्रभावित करती है, जिससे पति-पत्नी के बीच संघर्ष की स्थिति बनती है।

शीघ्रपतन की परिभाषा:

शीघ्रपतन पुरुषों में होने वाली एक ऐसी स्थिति है जिसमें उसके स्खलन अपेक्षित समय से पहले होता है, अक्सर यह महिला साथी के प्रवेश के 1-2 मिनट के भीतर, जिससे व्यक्ति के यौन जीवन या युगल की अंतरंगता में निराशा और परेशानी का सबब होता है। विश्व प्रसिद्ध आयुर्वेदाचार्य डॉ. सुनील दुबे जो पटना के सर्वश्रेष्ठ सेक्सोलॉजिस्ट डॉक्टर भी हैं, कहते हैं कि बहुत सारे सेक्सोलॉजिस्ट शीघ्रपतन के इलाज के नाम पर लोगों को बेवकू�� बनाते हैं। दरअसल, भारत में 10 में से 4 पुरुष इस गुप्त समस्या से पीड़ित होते हैं और वे अपने चिकित्सा व उपचार के लिए सही गुप्त व यौन रोग विशेषज्ञ या चिकित्सक चुनने में भ्रमित रहते हैं और इसका नतीजा यह होता है कि लोग आयुर्वेद और इसके चिकित्सा विज्ञान पर उंगली उठाते हैं। इसका मूल कारण है, सही आयुर्वेदिक चिकित्सा व उपचार से वंचित रह जाते है।

सही सेक्सोलॉजिस्ट डॉक्टर चुनने में लोगों का असमंजस:

वास्तविकता यह है कि किसी भी गुप्त या यौन समस्या का समाधान केवल और केवल आयुर्वेद में ही विद्यमान है। आयुर्वेद और सेक्सोलॉजी चिकित्सा विज्ञान के विशेषज्ञ व सेक्सोलॉजिस्ट शीघ्रपतन के गुप्त रोगी का सटीक व प्रभावपूर्ण चिकित्सा व उपचार प्रदान करते हैं। इसके पीछे का कारण यह है कि शीघ्रपतन के प्रकार और प्रकृति के अनुसार, आयुर्वेदिक चिकित्सा में इसकी दवा तैयार की जाती है, जिसे केवल आयुर्वेद और सेक्सोलॉजी में विशेषज्ञता रखने वाले सेक्सोलॉजिस्ट डॉक्टर ही सही पहचान कर इसे निर्मित कर सकते हैं। शीघ्रपतन का इलाज एक लंबी प्रक्रिया हो सकती है जहां लोग विज्ञापनों या धोखेबाजों के जाल में फंस जाते हैं और घंटों और मिनटों में इलाज की प्रक्रिया देखकर वहां चले जाते हैं। वे प्रामाणिक व अनुभवी सेक्सोलॉजिस्ट डॉक्टर को चुनने से चूक जाते हैं जो उनका सही से इलाज कर सकते है और उनकी समस्या को हमेशा के लिए ठीक कर सकते है।

पुरुषों में होने वाले शीघ्रपतन के प्रकार:

प्राथमिक शीघ्रपतन: आजीवन स्थिति जो कि व्यक्ति के पहले यौन क्रिया से शुरू हो जाती है।

द्वितीयक शीघ्रपतन: अधिग्रहित स्थिति जो व्यक्ति को उनसे मनोवैज्ञानिक व भावनात्मक असंतुलन के कारण होता है।

प्राकृतिक परिवर्तनशील शीघ्रपतन: परिवर्तनशील स्खलन समय दर समय बदलती रहती है।

निम्नलिखित कारणों से व्यक्ति शीघ्रपतन का शिकार हो सकता है-

डॉ. सुनील दुबे, बिहार के सर्वश्रेष्ठ सेक्सोलॉजिस्ट, कहते हैं कि उन्होंने अपने पांच साल पुरुषों और महिलाओं में होने वाले भिन्न-भिन्न गुप्त व यौन विकारों पर अपना शोध किया हैं। वह दुबे क्लिन���क में प्रतिदिन प्रैक्टिस करते हैं जो पटना के लंगर टोली, चौराहा में स्थित है, यह एक प्रमाणित और गुणवत्ता-सिद्ध आयुर्वेद और सेक्सोलॉजी चिकित्सा विज्ञान क्लिनिक है। अपने दैनिक अभ्यास व अनुभव के आधार पर, वे कहते हैं कि अधिकांश पुरुष गुप्त रोगी अपने शीघ्रपतन और स्तंभन दोष के इलाज के लिए इस क्लिनिक में आते हैं। उनका कहना है कि आमतौर पर शीघ्रपतन एक मनोवैज्ञानिक व भावनात्मक गुप्त रोग है, लेकिन कुछ अन्य कारक भी पुरुष को इस गुप्त विकार से प्रभावित कर सकता हैं।

मनोवैज्ञानिक कारक: चिंता, तनाव और अवसाद वे मनोवैज्ञानिक कारक हैं, जिसके कारण व्यक्ति अत्यधिक या दीर्घकालिक तनाव के कारण पुरुषों में होने वाले इस शीघ्रपतन की समस्या से पीड़ित हो सकता है।

न्यूरोलॉजिकल कारक: न्यूरोलॉजिकल कारकों के मामले में, व्यक्ति शीघ्रपतन से पीड़ित हो सकता है। ये न्यूरोलॉजिकल कारक तंत्रिका क्षति और न्यूरोट्रांसमीटर का असंतुलन हो सकते हैं।

हार्मोनल कारक: पुरुषों में कम सेरोटोनिन और उच्च डोपामाइन दो हार्मोनल कारक हैं जो उनके यौन गतिविधि में शीघ्रपतन का कारण बन सकते हैं।

शारीरिक कारक: प्रोस्टेट की समस्याएं, मूत्र पथ के संक्रमण (यूटीआई) और स्तंभन दोष शारीरिक कारक हैं जो पुरुष यौन गतिविधि में शीघ्रपतन का कारण बन सकते हैं।

जीवनशैली कारक: अच्छे स्वास्थ्य के लिए जीवनशैली हमेशा मायने रखती है। धूम्रपान, अत्यधिक शराब का सेवन और खराब नींद की गुणवत्ता जीवनशैली कारक हैं जो किसी व्यक्ति को शीघ्रपतन की ओर ले जा सकते हैं।

शीघ्रपतन की समस्या से स्थाई मुक्ति:

डॉ. सुनील दुबे कहते हैं कि आयुर्वेदिक दृष्टिकोण से शीघ्रपतन वीर्य, जीवन शक्ति और मन का विकार होता है। दरअसल, शीघ्रपतन की स्थिति में व्यक्ति यौन ऊर्जा की कमी, कमजोरी, भावनात्मक और मानसिक स्थिति में असंतुलन से ग्रस्त हो जाता है। उनका कहना है कि हर्बल उपचार, आयुर्वेदिक नुस्खे, आहार संबंधी सलाह, पंचकर्म चिकित्सा, घरेलू उपचार और जीवनशैली में बदलाव गुप्त व यौन समस्याओं को सुधारने के लिए प्रभावी और प्राकृतिक प्रक्रियाएं हैं।

अपने चिकित्सा व उपचार में, वे सभी गुप्त व यौन समस्याओं को खत्म करने के लिए आवश्यक प्राकृतिक प्रक्रियाएं प्रदान करते हैं। सर्वोत्तम परिणाम के लिए, गुप्त व यौन रोगी को दुबे क्लिनिक में जाना चाहिए जो भारत का प्रमुख आयुर्वेद और सेक्सोलॉजी क्लिनिक है। भारत के विभिन्न शहरों से लोग दुबे क्लिनिक से जुड़ते है। इस क्लिनिक से फ़ोन पर अपॉइंटमेंट लें और समय पर क्लिनिक जाएँ। सही सेक्सोलॉजिस्ट का चयन सुरक्षित व प्रभावी उपचार का आधार है।

Forager's Guide to Wild Foods

"The Forager's Guide to Wild Foods"-by Nicole Apelian, Ph.D., a biologist, survival expert, and herbalist-represents an in-depth field guide that attempts to teach a clientele base how to identify, harvest, and use wild edible plants. Overview of the book: "The Forager's Guide to Wild Foods" accommodates both the novice and the serious forager. Detailed coverage of hundreds of wild edible plants in North America makes the book a sustainable foraging and self-sufficient book. It will also prove highly useful to outdoor enthusiasts, survivalists, and those interested in wild foods as a natural nutrition source.

Key Features of the Book

Extensive Variety of Plants Described: The book describes over 400 wild, edible plants, together with their medicinal uses, nutritional value, and possible hazards. Each entry will introduce the reader to clear descriptions that will help them correctly identify the plants in various environments.

Color Photographs: The entry for each plant is accompanied by high-quality, full-color photographs to assist in proper identification. This is an important element in foraging because often it seems like the safe and toxic plants may have a very specific key that would differentiate them based on visual appearance.

Geographical Coverage: The book covers a wide variety of ecosystems and climates throughout North America and should hence be helpful irrespective of one's location.

Preparation and Usage Tips: Each plant is discussed in how food from it can be harvested, prepared, and cooked. Additionally, suggestions are made regarding any medicinal uses or historical context of the plant relating to its traditional usages.

Emphasis on Safety: The text puts a heavy emphasis on safety due to the author's pointing out toxic look-alikes and poisonous plants. It is of prime importance so that no one inadvertently gathers anything that might harm them.

Practical Application to Everyday Life: This book emphasizes how foraging can be integrated into daily life, with recipes and suggestions for preserving or otherwise utilizing wild plants responsibly.

Section on Wild Medicine: Other than the section included in Wild Edibles, this book also provides an overview of plants with medicinal uses and can be helpful for those interested in herbal medicine. Pros

Beginner-Friendly: Here, the book would be very easy to comprehend even for a complete beginner, given that explanations have been made with words which are easy to understand, photos which are clear enough to show the reader exactly what they should see, and instructions on how one could forage safely, in simple steps.

Comprehensive-Detailed: In fact, the guide with over 400 kinds of plants included, would be covering all types.

High-Quality Images: The high resolution guarantees clarity in photographs, which are very important in plant identification.

Medicinal Information: Beyond its value to a food forager, the book will be an introduction to herbal medicine, making it of much wider interest to the natural health audience.

Geographically Diverse: Plants from a variety of regions are included so that the guide will be helpful to readers living in different areas of North America.

Cons

Too Much for Casual Readers: This book might be over-the-top for casual readers because it includes a huge number of plants that the average hobby forager may just want the simplest information about.

Physical Book: Like most field guides, this book is most fitting when printed, not as convenient as it will be to some finding a digital version or an app to take with them on the foraging trips. Regional Limitations: While it covers most ecosystems across North America, for people outside North America, they may find less usefulness for the local flora of where they are.

Reader's Feedback

Great for Plant Identification: Most of the users loved the accuracy and said photos were useful as they found the book indispensable during real-life foraging trips.

Comprehensive nature: Here, the readers of this book showed appreciation for the depth with which this book contains useful information besides simple identification, such as nutritional values and preparation tips, all the way to medicinal uses.

Emphasis on Safety: Most reviewers here have noted it is an emphasis on toxic plants and look-alikes that has made them forage safely and confidently, particularly those new to the wild food harvests.

Informative yet Entertaining: Not a few families and nature lovers alike attest that the book transforms every hike or nature walk into an even more educational experience, whereby onlookers can gain practical knowledge regarding the wild plants growing around them.

Verdict

"The Forager's Guide to Wild Foods" is a great book for anyone wanting to learn about wild plants for food and medicine. The clarity of its instructions, high-quality images, and safety emphasis are combined in the best possible way to satisfy both novice and advanced foragers alike. It's a book to actually make an investment in-as thorough as it is, one will likely be using it season after season.

This is a good book for the survivalist, homesteader, herbalist, or for anyone who, in general, enjoys being in the woods and learning about what's around them that might prove edible and/or medicinal. It can be a little overwhelming because of the amount of plants it covers, but it will be worth one's time if they are serious about foraging.

10 Foods That Are Bad For Your Teeth: Protect Your Oral Health

Maintaining good oral health goes beyond regular brushing and flossing; it also involves making wise dietary choices. Certain foods can be particularly harmful to your teeth, contributing to decay, erosion, and other dental issues. 

Here are ten foods you should be cautious about to keep your smile healthy and bright.

1. Sugary Snacks and Candies

Sugary treats are notorious for their detrimental impact on dental health. Candies, especially sticky or chewy ones, cling to your teeth and provide a perfect breeding ground for bacteria. These bacteria produce acids that erode tooth enamel, leading to cavities. Hard candies are doubly dangerous as they can also crack or chip your teeth.

2. Carbonated Soft Drinks

Sodas are a triple threat to your teeth. They are loaded with sugar, highly acidic, and can dehydrate your mouth. The acid in these drinks wears down tooth enamel, and the sugar feeds harmful bacteria. Even diet sodas, though sugar-free, contain acids that can erode enamel over time.

3. Citrus Fruits

While citrus fruits like oranges, lemons, and grapefruits are healthy and packed with vitamin C, their high acid content can erode tooth enamel. Frequent exposure to these acids can weaken your teeth and make them more susceptible to decay. Drinking water after consuming citrus can help wash away some of the acids.

4. Dried Fruits

Dried fruits like raisins, apricots, and figs are often perceived as healthy snacks, but they are high in concentrated sugars and can be very sticky. This stickiness means they tend to cling to teeth longer than other foods, promoting tooth decay. It’s better to eat fresh fruits instead.

5. White Bread

White bread might seem harmless, but when you chew it, your saliva breaks down the starches into sugar. This sugar can get trapped between teeth, creating an ideal environment for bacteria. Opt for whole grain bread, which contains less added sugar and more fiber.

6. Alcohol

Alcoholic beverages, particularly those high in sugar like sweet cocktails and liqueurs, can harm your teeth. Alcohol causes dehydration and reduces saliva flow, which is essential for washing away food particles and neutralizing acids. Less saliva means a higher risk of decay and gum disease.

7. Ice

Chewing on ice might seem refreshing, but it can cause significant damage to your teeth. Ice is hard and can crack or chip your teeth and damage tooth enamel. It’s best to enjoy ice in your drinks rather than as a snack.

8. Potato Chips

Potato chips are a favorite snack, but they are high in starch. This starch breaks down into sugar, which can get trapped between teeth and feed bacteria. Additionally, chips often leave behind residue that lingers in the mouth, leading to plaque buildup.

9. Coffee and Tea

While coffee and tea are popular beverages, they can stain your teeth over time. Additionally, many people add sugar to their coffee or tea, increasing the risk of tooth decay. Tannins in these drinks also contribute to staining. Rinse your mouth with water after consuming these beverages to minimize their impact.

10. Vinegar-Based Foods

Foods like pickles and other vinegar-based items are highly acidic. Regular consumption can erode tooth enamel, making teeth more susceptible to decay. If you enjoy these foods, try to rinse your mouth with water afterward to help neutralize the acids.

Conclusion

Being mindful of the foods you eat is crucial for maintaining good oral health. While you don’t need to completely eliminate these items from your diet, it’s important to consume them in moderation and take steps to protect your teeth. 

Drinking water, maintaining a balanced diet, and practicing good oral hygiene can help counteract the negative effects of these foods. By making informed choices, you can enjoy a healthy smile for years to come.
