1124. Blood transfusion in dogs
EMAIL DATED OCT 26, 2013
Dear ToaPoyahVets,
Dear ToaPoyahVets,
My dog has contracted Babesiosis
and her HCT is only 15%. The vets that I went to recommended to perform a
blood transfusion for her. (I went to 2 different clinics to confirm
her illness.) However, she is blood type of DEA 1.1 negative, which I
had difficulty finding. Most donors are positive. Vet 1 said there would
be any severe problems for first timers if both are of different blood
type. Vet 2 advised me not to as negative and positive will cause more
problems. I would like to seek your opinion regarding this matter. I
would greatly appreciate any feedback you have.
Thank you and sorry for any inconvenience caused.

DoubleTree Hilton Somerset New Jersey
Rm 376
The coach took around 2 hours to go to New York's downtown as the hotel was in New Jersey.
---------------------------------------
Last of 3rd day to visit New York was Oct 23, 2013
Visited Times Square and had a good lunch there at Bubba Gum. Good service Walking tour to see the financial district including Wall Street & Stock Exchanges and the new World Trade Centre building. No time to visit Barnes & Noble on 18th at 5th Avenue (text books) but saw another one and bought a You Tube How to book.
Back to Singapore on Oct 24, 2013 at 6.57 am and back to work.
Tiring journey. I wasted one whole morning and afternoon at the Factory Outlet but the ladies were all for it. I should have visited the Barnes & Noble bookshops in 5th Ave and the Public Library. None of the 35 tourists from Singapore would be interested.

Embezzlement tales
Travelling broadens your mind if you do talk to the others or listen to stories of experiences. For example, tales of embezzlement are:
1. The partner of this Chinese Restaurant was sacked for dipping his hand into the cash register. He opened a restaurant down the road. Our tour guide switched to him. "He actually told you he stole money from his partners' business?" I asked him as he was narrating this story to us. "The previous place will close down soon."
Heavy reliance on a working partner who embezzles is what happens to most businesses. Best to keep your own money and not invest if you are not working or having a proper accounting system. Even then, the partner can still take cash without giving receipts.
2. I met a 60-year-old American sales person at the Williamsport's Wegans. He was friendly and I asked why he still worked as a retiree. He told me he had to work because the stock broker embezzled all his savings. "How much?" I asked. him. "$250,000". He was a medic during the Vietnam War but he was posted to Korea. "Many medics were killed," he told me. Yet he was killed by embezzlement in his autumn years. He did blame President Bush for some reasons I did not ask.
Many Singaporeans have lost money in shares of well known branded US companies.
So, it is hard for the common man to place his savings in stocks and shares, hoping to beat inflation. Property bubbles are also not safe for the younger ones.
3. A Singapore vet started a practice in China. His groomer and probably others "embezzled" and he had to close the practice.

1120. Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History - science, facts & evidence. National Museum of Singapore in 2024.

Hilton Gaithersburg Rm 316, 6.05 am
Yesterday, I visited The Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History. Evolution of man and animals is detailed and much interesting. The Earth is around 3 billion years old, Man is around 3 million years old from evolution. The racehorse evolved from earlier ones with shorter molars.
Climate changes and disasters led to new species.
Hard Science, facts and evidence are presented. So, is there a Creator of life? A Destroyer of life?

SMARTPHONE PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS: Tripod for evening shots of the national museum building.
iPhone 13 Pro Max. Evening @ Natonal Museum of Singapore by Shan.
Use the “rule of thirds” to get a good image. 1/3 should be on the dome of the museum.
Nice image --- No
distracting tourists.
As the evening lighting is
low compared to afternoon, a tripod will be good as the image will be
sharper.
Shan took 3 images. Only 1/3 is a bit sharper. Needs
photoshop sharpening.

GOOGLE REVIEW 4 STARS.

March 2024. 7.15pm.
Smartphones
can create excellent photos of buildings, much more useful and easier
than DSLR cameras. However, smartphones do not take good shots in low
lighting in the evening. A tripod will be useful as the handheld
phone may be shaky.

took 3 images with iPhone 13 Pro Max.
