I’m hiking Wisconsin’s 1100-mile-long Ice Age Trail a year after donating a kidney! We’re born with 2, but we really only need 1. Consider sharing your spare - and save a life! nbc26.com/news/local-news/yo…

"You may as well share your spare!" Kidney donor inspires others with hiking challenge

"You will have a spring in your step because you saved a life." A Wisconsin living kidney donor shows others you can live a full and active life after surgery and hikes 1,200 miles to prove it.

The recommended feeding rate decreases with both puppy weight and age in @HillsPet #ScienceDiet feeding guide. But there's an error. Feeding for a 10-12 month old should be less for a 10 lb pup than an 8 lb pup, but they show it increasing from 90/8=11.25 g/lb to 120/10=12 g/lb.

Today I learned that a Vatican decree called the "Doctrine of Discovery" gave Europeans the right to steal everything from indigenous people in newly "discovered" land, and that it's *still a core part of US law* — Ruth Bader Ginsburg invoked it in 2005. liberationnews.org/vatican-r…
