JOHNSON CITY AND BLUFF CITY, TENNESSEE EAGLES - WATCH LIVE VIDEO OF NESTING EAGLES AND BABY EAGLE

JOHNSON CITY, TN –

In November 2015, the Department of Biological Sciences at East Tennessee State University set up live streaming cameras focused on two active nests of Bald Eagles, our national bird. Two separate mated pairs of Bald Eagles have been selected, one nest is located in Bluff City, and the other is in Johnson City. These cameras provide a novel perspective into the lives and habits of these beautiful birds. Bald Eagles are long-lived birds of prey that have high nest site fidelity and will reuse the same structure for years. As part of the courtship behavior, mated pairs of Bald Eagles will bring new twigs and branches to the pre-existing nest each breeding season which results in a massive structure that can be well over one ton in weight! The Bluff City eagles laid eggs on Feb 3 and Feb 6. The Johnson City eagles laid eggs on Feb 10 and Feb 13. Eggs of Bald Eagles are laid 3 days apart (so ours read the maternity guides and laid their eggs on schedule) and the eggs hatch in 35 days. Using these guidelines, we have calculated the Bluff City eggs should hatch on March 9 and 12 and the Johnson City eggs should hatch on March 16 and 19. S o keep your eyes out everyone, we may have eaglets soon!! This is a prime opportunity to observe these iconic birds in their natural habitat, undisturbed.

PAWS and STRIPES

Here is information about an organization that trains Shelter Dogs to help our Vets with PTSD. The organization is called "Paws and Stripes". They were recently on Fox News morning show ( CLICK HERE )

Here is an excerpt from their web page:

Dog Farts In His Sleep. The Cat's Reaction Is Hilarious

September 4, 2018

Many dog breeds are known for farting in their sleep. I know my French Bulldog does it all the time -- and they are deadly! When this pup lets one out, the noise catches the cat's attention. A few seconds later the cat gets a whiff and he was not happy. I laughed so hard.

St. John's Wort Plant: A Little Known Cancer Aid?

Article from The Truth About Cancer web site

by Ty Bollinger

Below is an article summary. To read the article in its entirety, click on the link below:

https://thetruthaboutcancer.com/st-johns-wort-plant/?utm_campaign=&utm_medium=organic&utm_source=fb-ttac&utm_content=st-johns-wort-plantl&a_aid=59c13831797bc

ARTICLE SUMMARY:

The yellow-flowering St. John’s Wort plant (SJW) is widely known as an herb that can help elevate mood and ease depression. What is lesser known is that its anti-inflammatory and detoxification capabilities may also aid those with cancer.

St John’s Wort has been shown in major studies to have a definite effect on depression. According to the Cochrane Report of Systematic Reviews for 2008, St. John’s Wort is better than placebo for patients with major depression. They found that its effects were similar to typical antidepressants and resulted in much fewer (if any) side effects.

Research has found a direct link between depression and the development of cancer. A 2017 study found that those who suffered from “psychological distress” had a 32% greater chance of cancer morbidity.

One major reason for the rise in cancer rates is not only exposure to more toxins than ever before, but also because our detoxification pathways are becoming overloaded. St. John’s Wort extract is anti-viral, anti-inflammatory and a major supporter of the body’s most important detoxification pathways.

St. John’s Wort has also demonstrated its ability to inhibit cancer growth directly. One of St. John’s Wort’s main components is hyperforin. Recent research has shown that hyperforin can promote cancer cell apoptosis (i.e. cancer cell death). Other studies have noted SJWE’s effects specifically on certain cancer-related pathways, the regulation of cytokines, and cancer cell mitochondria pathways.

The debate continues as to whether St. John’s Wort helps or hinders conventional cancer therapies, especially the effectiveness of chemotherapy drugs. Very recent studies are looking at combining St. John’s wort with pharmaceuticals as well as radiation therapy for an integrative protocol to cancer.

JUST A THOUGHT

SOMETHING TO PONDER:

The United States is the 3rd in murders throughout the world! But if you take out Chicago, Detroit, Washington D. C., and New Orleans, the United States is 4th from the bottom for murders. Believe it or not, these four cities also have the toughest gun control laws in the United States. Hmmm...

Check your shampoo bottle label. I don’t know why I didn’t figure this out sooner!! It’s the shampoo I use in the shower! When I wash my hair, the shampoo runs down my whole body, and printed very clearly on the shampoo label is this warning: FOR EXTRA VOLUME AND BODY! No wonder I have been gaining weight!!!

Well I have gotten rid of that shampoo and I am going to start using Dawn dish soap instead. Their label reads: DISSOLVES FAT THAT IS OTHERWISE DIFFICULT TO REMOVE. Problem solved!!.

If I don’t answer the phone, I’ll be in the shower!

STROKE HAS A NEW INDICATOR

STROKE IDENTIFICATION:

During a BBQ, a woman stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics) ....she said she had just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes.

They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food. While she appeared a bit shaken up, Jane went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening.

Jane's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00 pm Jane passed away.) She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ. Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Jane would be with us today. Some don't die. They end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead. It only takes a minute to read this.

A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke...totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough.

RECOGNIZING A STROKE

Thank God for the sense to remember the '3' steps, STR. Read and Learn!

Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke. Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:

S *Ask the individual to SMILE.

T *Ask the person to TALK and SPEAK A SIMPLE
SENTENCE (Coherently)
(i.e. It is sunny out today.)

R *Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.

If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call emergency number immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.

New Sign of a Stroke -------- Stick out Your Tongue

NOTE: Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: Ask the person to 'stick' out his tongue. If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other that is also an indication of a stroke.
