Building an Overhead Projector Survival Kit

May 11th, 2008

Many times I am asked what I would presume to be the appropriate tools to have when using an Overhead Projector to make a presentation.
Without stating the obvious I would assume that all of you are aware that you would certainly need to have an Overhead Projector. Ahh, but what type of Overhead Projector should you choose?

If you are traveling quite a bit and use your Overhead Projector to make your sales or training presentations then you should consider using a portable Overhead Projector. Now some of these portables fold to the size of a briefcase making travel through airports easy. Other types of Overhead Projectors have a folding post which makes the projector easy to transport and will easily fit in your car.

Once you have decided on which type of Overhead Projector best fits your needs its then time to put together what I call an “Overhead Projector Survival kit”. Keep in mind there is nothing worse than a room fool of students or potential clients and finding yourself caught unprepared.
With all that said, here is what I would consider to bare essentials for an “Overhead Projector Survival Kit”

The spare lamp: Always have a spare lamp with you, even if your Overhead Projector is equipped with the lamp changer feature. Projection lamps are fairly inexpensive and I suggest having several spares on hand.
One more note that I would like to add here. Make sure you carry on your person or noted inside of your Overhead Projector what the ordering code is for the projection Lamp. If for some reason you would need to purchase additional spares while on the road this information could prove to be invaluable to you in a moments notice. It is also very helpful to have the 800 number of your favorite AV Parts supplier on hand for easy access to all your Overhead Projector needs while you are on the road.

Transparency pens: Never assume that the classroom or the Board Room where you will be putting on your presentation will have the proper transparency pens and transparency film on hand. My personal preference are the water soluble pens, there are many instances where I tend to wear more of the marker than my transparencies. Water soluble pens are easy to wash away where the permanent pens require a bit more effort to remove from ones hands! A selection of different colored pens always makes for a nice presentation as well.

Cleaning towels and water: That’s right, water. When it comes to cleaning the optics of your Overhead Projector nothing works better than water. I have seen more damage done to the optics of Overhead Projectors by end users using chemicals or even something as simple as window cleaner. Stick with the water; we use it as an optical cleaner everyday in our repair shop. Now in conjunction with your water you will need a quality cleaning cloth. Paper towels will NOT do. They scratch the sensitive surface of your optics. I suggest using a fiber optic towel or something similar. They are specially designed to clean surfaces of Fresnel Lenses and Optical Glass without scratching.

Extension cord and adapter: I can’t tell you how many times I hear stories about someone having all the right tools, but no way to get power to their Overhead Projector because the cord will not reach across the room to the only available AC Outlet. I suggest having an extension cord with a minimum length of 25 feet. Now once you have accomplished reaching the AC Outlet, how frustrating is to find that the receptacle does not take a grounded plug. Oh how I share your frustrations. Always and I mean always, have at least two AC Adapters that will allow your grounded AC cord form your Overhead Projector to plug into those old style AC outlets that have no ground plug.

Spare Parts: Now if you are somewhat mechanically inclined, then you may want to consider having a few spare parts available for some simple repairs that could be done either in your hotel room or at home. A simple set of tools will also be required. Your Electronic tools should include wire nippers for cutting and stripping wire, a cordless solder iron with some solder, a small amount of 1/8″ heat shrink tubing and a small set of screwdrivers with both flat blade and Phillips type heads. Now needless to say any serious electrical problems should be left to a professional electronic technician, but a change of a lamp socket which requires only a screw driver in most instances or replacing a broken stage glass are simple repairs that can be done in the field if you have the spare parts on hand. This could save you many hours of searching for either a repair shop or rental store trying to find a back up Overhead Projector.

You most likely will have some of your own items you will want to add to your own “Overhead Projector Survival Kit”. This article should give you a good foundation to build on and help save you some embarrassing moments the next time you go to make your presentation with your favorite Overhead Projector.

“Why Katrina’s Winds Must PUSH You”

May 10th, 2008

First of all, allow me to lessen any concerns you have that this
will be anything like the typical commentary you’ve been reading
about the Katrina disaster. It won’t. In fact, one of the
reasons I decided to wait a few weeks to address this was to
allow some time to gain some perspective. And that is indeed
what I plan to provide here.

This is in NO way a
commercial or advertisement for anything that we offer, nor am I
offering political opinions of ANY kind. This is about YOU and
your life, and exactly what you choose to learn from this
disaster.

Let me also say that if you or anyone you know
was directly affected by this horrific event, our thoughts and
prayers are with you during this difficult time. In fact, our
organization has already provided a lot of resources, financial
and otherwise, to the humanitarian effort that is currently
being undertaken. We plan to go a lot further with this in the
coming weeks.

HOWEVER, for those of you who are
like us and were not hurt directly by Katrina, you need to
understand something. Katrina has had a direct impact on
you
no matter where you live or what your circumstances are.
You will see why in just a moment. All I ask is that you invest
the next few minutes of your life absorbing every word of this.

_________________________

When I first saw
the devastation created by Katrina in the Gulf Coast, I had the
same reaction as the rest of the country: first shock, then
grief, then giving. The most important thing is to get as much
aid to these families and individuals as quickly as possible.
Even though the government will ultimately step up to foot the
bill, the amount of help needed is so great that even the
millions and millions in donations thus far will hardly make a
dent. So the first order of business is (and will remain as such
for some time) getting help to these folks via reputable
organizations like the Red Cross and the Salvation Army.

In case there’s any question as to how severe the issues
are with displaced families, a quick story. A church in our area
recently made a decision to house a family in a vacant single
family home that they had previously used as a parsonage. Since
the red tape proved overwhelming, they decided to drive down to
Mississippi to find a family in need, pick them up and bring
them back up to our area (Chicago). This family is made up of a
young couple and their three children (ages 2, 4 and 8).

We were involved in helping with the effort to get them
up moved here and situated, and here’s what I can tell you.
It took an entire community of people - DOZENS of folks - to
help get this ONE family moved and situated
. They had
nothing but the clothes on their back. They have needed
donations of EVERY imaginable form: furniture, food, clothes for
all five of them, a working vehicle, toiletries, and on and on.
They are literally starting their lives over from absolutely
nothing
.

I tell you this simply to point out that
there are literally thousdands and thousands of
individuals and families in this same situation. The amount of
help needed is so great that it exceeds what most of us can
perceive. When I think about how many people and donations it
took for us to help just this ONE family, it creates a
perspective that needs to be shared.

In fact, it’s at
this point where Katrina’s real impact starts to become more
apparent.

In the days immediately following the
disaster, I began to read the newspaper a little more carefully.
Now, I don’t normally make a habit of following news carefully
because frankly the negativity tends to diminish the
entrepreneurial spirit. I’ve found that you definitely need to
create an emotional separaration when you follow news so
that you aren’t filling your mind with so many of the negative
realities of our nation and world. So I made the decision to
follow the news very closely, but as an observer.

Based on my observations, here is the main realization
that I want to share with you.

THE COST OF
RECOVERY

Whether you realize it or not, the cost of
this recovery effort will ultimately be paid for by EVERY
American, including you. Let’s take a closer look at this.

* Gas Prices - This one is the most immediately
evident at the pump. Despite a lot of speculation that the oil
and gas companies are price gougiing the American people (which
may or may not be true and will not be debated here), the
reality is that gas prices may settle a bit but will never go
back down to what they were two or three years ago. We can hope
they will but it’s simply not going to happen.

*
Energy Costs - Experts are saying that energy costs in
general are going to rise significantly, at least in the short
term. Here in Chicago, our gas companies have raised their rates
anywhere from 30-60%, and our major electricity utility will be
raising their rates by at least 15-20%. My guess is that similar
things are happening in your market.

* Insurance
Costs
- Needless to say, it is likely that one of the
outcomes of this disaster will be higher insurance costs. As it
is, in the last five years homeowners insurance premiums have
increased significantly in this country. Based on the degree of
damage done by Katrina and the number of claims expected, I
would expect to see this trend continue.

* Cost of
General Goods
- There are also predictions that numerous
products will be affected by this event, including the cost of:
coffee and chocolate (which get imported through the Gulf
region); paper products and detergent (which contain heavy
petroleum and natural gas components); and finally asphalt,
roofing shingles and lumber (due to the high demand as a result
of the massive rebuilding effort).

* INFLATION -
This is the “hidden” one that you need to really understand. Let
me explain.

When the government agrees to foot the bill
for a disaster like this, they don’t just pull the money out of
thin air. They do it just like most Amercians do - they
borrow it. (Scarily enough, it’s really just paper that
gets created to do this and there’s no true gold or value
against the amount borrowed, but that’s yet another story for
another time).

HOWEVER, the important question
here is: Who will eventually pay the bill for this loan? Yes,
the government will eventually pay it, but where will the actual
money come to do that?

The answer: The American
People will ultimately pay for it - if not directly, than
certainly in the form of INFLATION
.

As a reminder,
inflation is the general and progressive increase in prices over
time. While this is often caused by supply and demand, in this
case it is also a function of the bill for a disaster like
Katrina getting passed along to Americans in the form of a
higher cost of living. Essentially, the burden “spills
down” on consumers from the corporations and businesses who get
immediately hit by it, thus causing waves of price increases
over time.

“OK Ken, Your Point Is…?”

My point is simple: Whether you acknowledge it or
not, Katrina will have a DIRECT impact onyou personally unless
you wake up and do something about it.

Think of your
path to financial freedom as an enterprise. All
successfuls enterprises flourish by doing TWO things: 1)
increasing profits and 2) reducing expenses. Well guess what?
Number two IS NOT going to happen. In fact, as I just
explained your expenses are going UP whether you like it or not.
That means it’s time to focus on number one: increasing your
income as SOON as possible.

Katrina needs to be a
CALL TO ACTION for you. After you give the time, service
and resources that you have available for helping those in need,
you need to take serious action toward achieving your
goal of financial freedom.

If you’re already taking
massive action and starting to see results, that’s great.
Just don’t give up. Let this be a motivator that keeps
you going, that keeps you doing the things that most are NOT
willing to do.

However, if you’re not already taking the
kind of action necessary, this is your wake-up call. I
know for a fact that there are many folks reading this who are
pretending - and you need to wake up to this fact NOW and
take advantage of the opportunities that are before you.

Despite its devastation, Katrina serves to remind ALL of
us that we wake up every day with a CHOICE. You can
either make excuses and continue to allow your circumstances to
define your financial future, OR you can get rid of your
laziness and apathy and start taking the action that only
1% of this country is willing to take in order to have the life
of freedom that you deserve.

One more thing. If
you were making $50K per month or even just $20K per month, how
great would it feel to be able to donate a large amount of money
to this cause? If the ability to give to worthy causes is
one of your reasons for pursuing financial freedom, I can tell
you this based on personal experience… nothing feels better
than to finally be able to write a nice BIG check to an
organization that does humanitarian good in the world
.

In closing, I sincerely hope that Katrina’s winds will
push you to start taking massive action that will bring you 1)
freedom from the stress of ever-rising expenses, 2) the
level of income that you deserve based on your own hard
work, and 3) the ability to give to national and
international causes that are working to better humanity.

Warmest regards,

Ken

Getting Your Patent Application Facts Straight

May 10th, 2008

Even if you choose to use a patent agent or attorney to help you protect your invention, you will still have some work to do. After all, it’s your invention. And they need you to communicate the in’s and out’s of it as best you can.

It’s not just as simple as meeting with a patent attorney, giving them a short blurb on your invention, and expecting everything to magically fall into place. You will have to put in some effort here.

Obviously, they don’t know your invention like you do. And a short little discussion on it is probably not going to put them in the know. You will likely need to spend a significant amount of time conveying the intricacies of whatever you’ve invented to them. After all, the strength of your patent depends on how well you communicate your invention to your patent practitioner.

So here are some things you need to ponder before you start getting charged by the hour…

What problem does my invention solve?

When exactly was it invented?

How can I describe my invention as specifically as possible?

What are similar or related inventions?

What makes my invention better than these similar or related inventions?

What features have I improved upon?

In addition to answering these questions as best you can, bring any drawings, photographs, or an actual prototype of your invention that you may have. These will only help demonstrate your invention better. They aren’t absolutely necessary, but may help keep the meeting running smoothly.

Please visit Patent Law Portal to find a patent attorney or agent near you and begin the process toward protecting your invention.

Jimmy’s Execution in His Words - Part 3

May 10th, 2008

PART OF PRISON REFORM SERIES

I was sent back to UIC for a follow up on August 26, 2003, in order for the specialist to review my lab results from the blood drawn July 30, 2003. Dr. Ghosh and Nurse Viscum refused to send the lab results with me to the consult. Without these results the specialist would be unable to recommend the restarting of my HCV treatments. The specialist ordered new blood tests and that I be returned to have an ultrasound done of my liver for the very first time, along with an Upper Endoscopy exam of my stomach and biopsy of the stomach lining.

I was returned to UIC on September 10, 2003. Once again the staff from ADDUS Healthcare refused to send my latest lab results again preventing the UIC specialist from recommending the restarting of my HCV treatments. They did the Ultrasound of my liver and the Endoscopy exam to my stomach with a biopsy, and ordered new blood tests.

Blood was drawn on September 16, 2003 on the U.I.C. specialist’s orders. I was not sent back to UIC until October 14, 2003. Once again Dr. Ghosh, Nurse Viscum and the ADDUS Healthcare staff refused to send my lab results with me from the blood tests. Specialist is unable to recommend the restarting of my HCV treatments for the third time. This despite the fact all my blood levels had been back into the “safe” range for months. The specialist ordered new blood tests and that I be returned so he could perform a biopsy of my liver for the first time in more than three years of treatment. Treatment that was designed to be completed in one year. Rate of success from proper treatment was just sixty per cent. Malpractice had reduced my chances of success dramatically. The liver biopsy was done on October 22, 2003.

November 11, 2003, I was returned to U.I.C. ADDUS Healthcare again refused to send my lab results with me from the blood tests. The specialist was only able to give me the results from the liver biopsy and schedule me for a Colonoscopy, trying to find what was causing my daily diarrhea and severe intestinal pains. Beginning the first week in September, the prison doctors refused to treat me for this problem.

The results from my liver biopsy were very sobering. Due to the sabotage of the two previous courses of HCV treatments, the virus mutated into a more virulent and aggressive form. It came back with a vengeance and almost completely destroyed my liver. Cirrhosis/ fibrosis is now extremely advanced. I am near what they call End Stage Liver Failure. A fancy way of saying I will die soon. Re treatment may not be possible due to the toxicity of the medications. He wanted to study the biopsy result some more, get the Colonoscopy done to rid me of the persistent intestinal infection, then we would sit down and discuss possible treatments, weighing out the risks and dangers.

As of this date, the IDOC, Agency Medical Director, Dr. Willard Elyea, S.C.C, Medical Director Dr. P. Ghosh and the corporate officers of ADDUS Healthcare are refusing to return me to U.I.C to get the required Colonoscopy done to cure me of the infection and daily diarrhea I have endured since September of last year. Also to get a new treatment plan worked out with the U.I.C. specialist which could possibly prevent me dying from liver failure. I am in daily pain. The medical staff at Stateville C.C. will not see me at Sick Call as I have requested daily since November 11, 2003. They are leaving me to rot untreated in this cell, until I die, which they figure will solve this problem. I desperately need help and fast. I have typed this letter to send to anyone and everyone for whom I can find an address.

Our form of Government is claimed to be one of the people, that all public officials are directly accountable to “we the people”. Anything they do, they do in our names. The crimes I have documented in this letter, they continue doing IN YOUR NAME. Would you physically torture another human being? Would you stoically watch another human cry out daily in severe pain from a terrible untreated disease, slowly killing him while withholding the needed treatments? Taunting; in his face just out of his reach, until he dies. They are doing this in your name.

If we as a society of an enlightened and evolved beings, take upon ourselves the moral authority and “right” to cage our fellow beings for what we have deemed to be unacceptable behavior; we must, at the same time, assume the unquestionable duty and responsibility to provide the basic human necessities for those we choose to incarcerate within our prisons. This includes proper food, shelter and medical care. It is a fact the deprival of any one need for a helplessly caged human being, constitutes cruel and sadistic physical torture.

We seem to have forgotten a basic, and fundamental truth underlying the American penal system. We send fellow human beings to prison AS THE PUNISHMENT for wrongdoing, NOT TO BE PUNISHED in addition to the social isolation. Somewhere along the line we have allowed our fundamental concepts and basic understanding of just punishment of fellow humans to be corrupted by pandering politicians. Turning punishment into the intentional infliction of physical pain, suffering and murder. Justice becomes criminal itself. Right is right. Wrong is wrong. We don’t need any two faced, paid political whore to tell US what a proper form of punishment should be. Don’t get caught up in the carefully choreographed emotional propaganda put out daily by the massive multibillion dollar prison industrial complex and the self appointed governmental elites. Don’t allow them to sadistically torture fellow people by withholding needed medical care to prisoners IN YOUR NAME, under your moral authority. There can be NO legitimate excuse for it. We are NOT supposed to be a nation of sadists and torturers, or else, what the hell are we doing in Iraq?

Without your help and assistance in casting the spotlight of public attention upon these prison officials, I will die from deliberate medical malpractice. They thrive on the darkness of anonymity and will only respond to outside scrutiny and public pressure to save their jobs and not embarrass their political masters. Please do not allow my voice to fade into the darkness unheard, with my death.

I am only 44 years old. They are seizing the opportunity to change my prison sentence into a death sentence, executing me. If I were to be given a lethal injection, it would be more humane than being left in severe physical pain from this untreated and mistreated, deadly liver disease and additional serious medical conditions as a result of malpractice. The slow rotting of my internal organs.

Please help me if you can. Attorneys, please take up my case. If you know of an attorney who might, please forward this to him/her or anyone else who might help. Write letters to these IDOC officials on my behalf and many others enduring medical torture and execution. Write the elected public officials, print this letter on your Websites. E mail it, FAX it, anything you can think of. Without treatment soon, the odds that I will be here this time next year are very slim. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for any help you may be able to provide. I would love to hear from each of you and will try to respond to all letters, health permitting.

Zma Fuel

May 10th, 2008

Zma is a unique combination of vitamins and minerals that impact positively on athletic performance. Zma is available in supplement form, and zma is readily absorbed by the system. Zma fuel utilizes zinc monomethionine, magnesium aspartate and B6 combined. Zma is an anabolic mineral formula scientifically designed, and zma contains only natural products.

The synergistic combination of zinc and magnesium in zma is proven to enhance healthy hormone production, resulting in increased strength and muscle power. Clinical tests reveal that the ingredients in zma fuel can increase endurance and testosterone levels, as well as promote a restful sleep which is important for athletes. Zma can be taken before bedtime, resulting in a deeper and more peaceful sleep. With zma intake the muscle cramping usually associated with sport is reduced considerably, when supplementing the diet with zma fuel.

Zma enhances and improves the body’s healing ability, a benefit found in zma fuel supplements. Zma users can expect a 2.5 times greater muscle strength on average. This varies, and the more physically strong you are before taking zma supplements, the better your results on zma fuel will be. A study conducted on a group of college football players which monitored the effects of zma on the system, proved very interesting.

The football players taking zma fuel supplements combined with magnesium aspartate showed an increase of free testosterone levels by 43% more than the group on placebos! The muscle power of the players using zma increased 250% more than those who didn’t use a zma fuel supplement. There is impressive scientific evidence behind zma fuel and scores of clinical tests have been conducted on zma. Results show that zma really does work and zma fuel lives up to its claims.

Zinc is a micro mineral which is involved with hormone actions including growth hormones, estrogen, insulin and testosterone. The zinc found in zma is necessary for many enzymatic actions. Those involved in physical fitness have a greater need for zinc and can replenish it with zma fuel. As it can be taken by men or women and has no adverse side effects, zma can benefit all athletes including beginners.

The B6 vitamin (pyridoxine) present in zma is involved with protein synthesis. In coenzyme form, the B6 vitamin in zma is involved with many enzymes as well as the metabolism of amino acids. Zma with B6 can free up carbohydrate energies and zma will also lessen the actions of cortisol and other catabolic steroids. The testosterone to cortisol ratio is boosted by zma fuel’s B6, resulting in increased muscle strength.

Because zinc and magnesium are easily depleted from the body, supplementing with zma can elevate these testosterone levels. Athletic studies show that many athletes have a zinc deficiency, which can be corrected by taking zma. After participating in regular and intense exercise, zinc and magnesium levels decrease considerably. This deficiency results in a loss of strength and libido, easily replaced with zma.

Betting Rooms and Roulette - What You Must Know About It All

May 8th, 2008

The incommodity of frequenting a gaming hall makes it advisable to avoid going there if it’s not indispensible. For all those long cross country drives, the incommodity, and task list this entails seem not worth the nuisance merely for that chance to gamble at gaming hall, this said in case you’re the type of person who is quite frenetic about betting halls then heading for gaming exploiting the net is surely the solution.

There’s no need to go outside for a stint of online poker and similar since it’s easy to access from your familiar home office provided you own a functional computer including access to the internet. Then again, before indulging yourself, there’s a lot of facts that you’ll definitely want to master regarding online poker and similar, particularly if you are a mere beginner. So calm all that testosterone of yours to meditate on what comes next. Here is my plan that is intended to illuminate how to spot an honest and trust-worthy online poker and similar establishment. The topmost thing that a cagey internet risker will be certain to check is an online poker and similar webpage of the type offering its patrons top winnings. Beyond, here are various extra guidelines and details regarding looking out for your online texas holdem webpage.

Always be sure to make certain the online texas holdem webpage is licensed verifiably, e. g. by hunting for the officially certified permit on the casino site’s About page. If it’s not possible to detect any officially certified permit on your chosen online texas holdem webpage, don’t attempt to risk a game on that site. Subsequently you will be best advised to traverse thoroughly the various promos that the online texas holdem webpage presents. Beyond that, another major advice would obviously be to try your hand at the outset with trivial amounts in place of frittering large amounts of money right off. To begin with, check the stability of this particular online texas holdem outfit prior to provoking any serious adversity– particularly in terms of money! Finally, here is another piece of advice regarding online video poker. It is bound to be this- never to neglect that betting should mainly be about fun and amusement and not about high winnings. Betting in online casinos isn’t a business, on the contrary - it’s a hobby that can help you feel lighthearted and your entire life gratifying.

Finally, after having followed the advice above, feel free to surrender to the seduction of online texas holdem! :)

Volvo, Out To Conquer Indian Auto Market

May 8th, 2008

The Volvo Car Corporation is out to expand their market. And they have decided on introducing and bringing their cars to India. They would be having the start of sales of their vehicles come the last quarter of this year.

Volvo Cars India would be having its main office based in Delhi. Of course, they would do need to introduce their products and vehicles in the market first and Volvo has decided to bring out the luxury car Volvo S80 and the crossover sport utility vehicle Volvo XC90 first in the market. As the vehicles get product recall, the company is planning on bringing more cars to the Indian automobile market.

President and chief executive officer of Volvo Cars is Fredrik Arp and he says, “It is an important step for Volvo Cars to establish a presence on this market at a time when India is showing considerable growth in the passenger car market. Moreover, we believe that the timing is right in comparison with our closest competitors.”

With India having a good growth in its economy plus a low rate of inflation, the company believes that it would indeed be a good starting ground for bringing Volvo cars to the Indian market. Volvo is expecting to see an increase in their total sales as the years go on.

Fredrik Arp even continues by saying, “All these models represent modern Scandinavian elegance and we are convinced they will be highly successful on the Indian market too. Our objective is to build the already strong Volvo brand in India with quality prestige cars from Volvo.”

After the launch of the two mentioned Volvo vehicles in the market, the company would also be targeting on bringing in new vehicles to the Indian market from 2006 up until 2009. The plans are to bring new models like the Volvo C70 convertible, Volvo C30 compact car.

Internet via Satellite Service

May 7th, 2008

High-Speed Internet via Satellite

As Internet traffic continues to grow at exponential rates
worldwide, Internet services providers (ISPs) everywhere are
faced with the challenge of keeping up with demand for network
bandwidth and developing creative solutions for squeezing more
use out of existing bandwidth.

Satellite communication has the unique ability to deliver
bandwidth exactly where and when it is needed, irrespective of
geography and local infrastructure. Depending on the location
and needs, Internet via Satellite is the best method for either
by-passing or extending the terrestrial fiber optic network.

Internet via Satellite is therefore becoming the natural high
speed transport medium for a wide range of IP and multimedia
applications the world over, whether for consumer or business
applications - and at speeds of 2 Mbit/s per user for Internet
access and at up to 40Mbit/s per transponder for services such
as data broadcasting.

Physical Traits of Great Danes

May 7th, 2008

Great danes employ significant features. One can infer some
information about the eye and coat color, and nose and ear shape
from some specifications observed. These features are the well
known examples of the effects of a great dane’s DNA. In order to
understand why our great dane’s have these remarkable physical
properties, we must first understand their background.

Each grea
t dane carries two sets of genetics. These genetics are
passed from the dog’s parents. These sets of genes can be very
similar to each other or may be so different that one can be
suspicious about the dog’s identity. Physical and emotional
properties of the dog in his/her future life is partially
determined by these genes: i.e, according to the similarity
level in a great dane’s genes, his/her remarkable features
possess their role.

Now that we’ve discussed the way in which your dog has received
its genetic makings, we can turn our attention to one of the
most interesting features of your great dane: it’s coat color.
The colors that are most frequently observed on great danes are
black, white, mantle and merle. Each color is determined by the
genetic properties of the dog and these can be classified in
three major groups: A-series, E-series and D-series.

A-series genes have an impact on the dog’s coat color
incorporating two forms of melanin. As a result of the different
types of melanin pigment in your great dane’s genes, several
color ranges can be found: namely, black, brown and saddle.
E-series genes employ yellow/red pigment in your dog’s body, and
as can be seen in Yellow Labradors and Irish Settlers as well.
Now for the curious, but interesting D-series genes: check the
existence of recessive genes. When one is found, D-series turn
the blue pigment on and provide the body with blue instead of
black previously injected by A-series.

Nevertheless, an additional remarkable feature of your Great
Dane is his/her ears. Most people are surprised to find that
their great dane does not have ears which stand straight up.
Actually, in their natural state, your pet’s ears will flop down
around his face, much like the ears of a Labrador. Most people
decide to have their Great Dane’s ears cropped between the ages
of 6-8 weeks old. Despite this information, cropping is not a
necessary procedure, as it offers no benefits for your pet.
