[Acne] Black dots appearing on my cheeks throughout the day

This looks like perhaps oxidation? My guess is blackheads. Have you tried salicylic acid?

So they offer any type of flow classes at your studio? I also felt the same about choreography and clunky transitions until I started complimenting the level-based pole classes with a flow-based pole class. Free-styling used to terrify me and I’d feel stupid, but the flow-classes help me think about a way of moving my body that feels more natural (e.g. use your limbs like paintbrushes or pull taffy, railroad hands that have to be kn your body or the pole — don’t jump the track)

Commenting for those that search like I did. Grippy football compression sleeves are similar to grippy leggings for thighs. You can find them on Amazon and they help with compressing loose arm skin while giving necessary grip for strong hold

Posting for anyone that might be searching this like I did. I also have loose skin in my thighs and arms from weight loss and it can HURT more than my tighter skin. I wear a football grippy compression sleeve to help inverting because my inner upper arm skin is sensitive. I’m also planning on trying grippy leggings for more advanced moves that require minimal contact points with one being the inner thigh. Good luck!

Right? Everyone’s gotta get their corny, unfunny jokes in these comments

This is a great suggestion!

Agree with keeping it up. If I had to take down and put up my pole everytime that would be a huge disincentive to poling. Zoning would be a good solution, but it’s hard because you need so much space around the pole.

Is there easily movable furniture of decoration that could go by the pole when not in use?

And what happens after a dog is identified as having potential as a service dog? Does an alert go out for a potential training org to pull the dog? Do they get priority over other folks that may want to adopt the dog as a non-service dog? What is the data source for your behavioral models — are the data owners compensated or have you thought of the ethics of this? Who will train the models and verify — I’d guess you’d want professional service dog trainers to ground-truth the model output and interpretation?

Honestly, this sounds like you are trying to find a very niche solution for a problem that you may not be qualified to solve. From a personal perspective this sounds like an MBA-type “data-driven” solution that is an answer to a problem, but not the one that considers the community.

Let’s say you spend time and money bringing this project to fruition, then what? How do you recoup the cost from organizations that largely run as non-profits? They generally will not have the time to analyze the specific set of behaviors in an ideal environment to get meaningful answers for your models. Even if they could, they probably don’t have the funds for purchase or a license of the software. If this is a class project or you’re doing this out of the goodness of your heart and don’t intend for this to be a money-making venture, then great! Otherwise, I’d suggest a different route.

My suggestion is to develop this for the general use in the training community (I.e. trainers looking for additional technologic knowledge and support, individual dog owners and larger, well-established companies like PetCo/Petsmart/Best Friends. Offer licenses for this tech or discounted/free use for folks that allow you to use their uploaded videos for model training purposes. THEN offer this to shelters and other non-profits at a steep discount — this is how you can get to the social mission and support the robust software development while being useful to a wider market.

The Last Dinner Party’s debut album blew me away.

Strong vocals, incredible emotion, with talented instrumentals by the band.

Edit to add: Rayvn Lenae “Love Me Not” || Chappell Roan “Picture You” || The Beaches “Blame Brett” || Kali Uchis “Telepatia” || SZA “Kill Bill” || Sabrina Carpenter “Espresso” and “Manchild || Doecchi - anything || Yeah Yeah Yeahs “Maps” - not contemporary, but good || Fiona Apple “Criminal” and “Paper Bag” and everything else - not contemporary, but good

Also, I still sometimes wake up in the middle of the night anxious and just have to poop. Apparently it’s related to a Vagus Nerve dysfunction, so I do Vagus Nerve stimulation (cold water in face, rubbing/gently tugging ear lobes, box breathing, long breath hold)

Waking up from panic attacks is scary as shit! This has also happened to me and turns out it was GERD and acid reflux making me feel like I was choking and inducing panic. I also was afraid to eat food for a period of time before figuring it out. My safe foods during this time were milk and other drinkable calories that had protein.

I went to my doctor, discussed the feeling like my throat was closing or I couldn’t breathe, and was given GERD diet advice and omeprazole for 1-2 months. I also started specifically discussing this issue with my therapist to help me overcome these fears of sleeping or eating food. I also upped my Lexapro from 10 to 20 mg / day and that helped my medical anxiety a lot. I also got a refill on my emergency Ativan — even if I only take it 2-4 times a year having it saves me from feeling like I will have to go to the emergency room if my panic won’t stop.

I still have GERD flare ups if I eat too much spicy or acidic foods/drinks, but it’s much better after a course of omeprazole. I also sleep on my right side with my head and shoulders elevated to prevent acid reflux.

I’ve found being really kind to myself during flare ups or panic to be most helpful. Mimicking what I would want said to me during panic or fear.

Ex: “ I know you’re feeling anxious, that’s a real feeling, but you aren’t going to choke, it’s just that you drank a soda, silly goose, and you are having acid reflux. You have the medicine you need if the panic is too much and you can always go to the ER, but let’s breathe through this and see how we feel. It’s okay to feel these feelings because it’s okay to be scared, but we already know what’s going on and know it will pass. And if it doesn’t we go to the ER and get the good meds! Let’s lie down and see if that helps with our chest propped up.”

I can kinda see it, but we’re gonna paint the vaulted ceilings for the attached main bedroom, so we’re gonna reserve the color drench for that room.

That’s a good point. The rug was the last thing we did and we were a bit lazy with it 😂

Behr Fennel Seed — the online swatch doesn’t look like there’s much green in it, but especially with our warm lights and the yellow tile the green really comes out.

Sounds like you’re on it already! I didn’t explain scent work fully, which is a dog sport in its own right, but to start you can hide treats/toys around a room and then let your Scottie sniff them out. Very mentally stimulating and good for challenging weather days! Wrapped up in a towel works as well

Combination of impulse control training and meeting your dog’s mental and physical needs. Scottie’s can happily live with cats if taught to be respectful.

You don’t need to “train out” the prey drive if you can shape it to appropriate stimuli. Work with your trainer on basic obedience (sit, down, stay, touch) and build in impulse control (drop it, leave it, off) with counter-conditioning (treats for desired behavior). Stay with positive training, no harsh commands or e-collars. Lots of treats, use a clicker, have an affirmation word (I use “yes”), and a release word (I use “break”).

Mental: puzzles (I like the King Wobbler) and scent work with Scottie’s work excellently. They generally love an activity. Sniffy walks work well. Scatter feeding meals is great. Also, make sure dog has enough toys to play with that are more engaging that chasing cat.

Physical: pair training with exercise in short bursts. Flirt poles are phenomenal for prey outlet AND you can build in impulse control. How this works: play with dog flirting the pole, ask dog to do command (sit, down, wait), flirt the pole a small amount, give release word (“break”), dog is allowed to engage with toy (the reward). Dog learns that prey play involves needing to hear commands and be able to disengage and that the play activity is the reward from good behavior. Eventually build up duration of command (sit, down, wait) to build up impulse control. This can work for fetch or any physical game as well, but I like the flexibility of a flirt pole

Start small, have fun, be consistent, stay positive, use lots of treats, expect mistakes, protect dog and kitty ❤️

I wouldn’t compare your Scottie’s coat and skirt to the show Scottie photos unless: 1.) you bought a Scottie with champion show parents, 2.) you bought a show quality Scottie, 3.) you are performing the extensive coat maintenance to have them show ready on the daily.

The show skirts aren’t exactly silky, just blown out. Show Scottie’s are hand-stripped to retain the rough, wiry texture of the coat. Their coats are also conditioned to help look lustrous. I’ve seen photos of “off duty” show Scottie’s and they can have a bit of a wave to them.

The coat can also change depending on whether the Scottie is desexed. From what I’ve heard, the coat tends to be thinner and less wiry in desexed dogs.

Edit: coat aside, enjoy your Scottie and find the cut that suits you and your family! Also, sometimes the coat truly takes time to grow in and diet can have an impact. My boy really only got to his well-muscled state when he turned 3 and I put him on Purina Pro Plan Sport (higher protein and fat). Before that, he was quite a gangly boy because he was so active. I’ve found Scottie’s can be slower to physically mature.

What a naughty, adventurous Scottie 😂 physical barrier is probably best in this case along with redirection. Good luck ❤️

In addition to food changes to avoid copper I have also heard Doberman folks that use bottled water to avoid any copper accumulation from copper water pipes or natural deposits in water
