Tamera Mason deals with four competing autoimmune diseases everyday, and her service dog Irene helps her stay on top of things.“She is a diabetic and Addison trained dog,” Mason said.Addison’s Disease is a disorder in which the body doesn’t produce enough hormones. It can be life threatening.“She has kept me safe,” Mason said. “And instead of having an Addison crisis about every six weeks, now in a year and a half I’ve only have two ICU visits. Both of which she predicted and was able to alert me for.”Dogs can learn to “alert” their owners when they smell a certain trigger, like low blood sugar, if properly trained. Irene bumps Mason’s leg.“Irene is 20 to 30 minutes ahead of when the glucose monitor said I was in trouble,” Mason said.Given Mason’s condition and her full time job at an emergency department, it can make all the difference. “I have been very blessed with a dog who truly has superpowers,” Mason said.She got Irene from a nonprofit called Service Dogs of Virginia. They train dogs with different skills based on the future owner’s needs. “We don’t train the dogs to smell the odor, they do that because they’re dogs and they have a nose. What we do is train them to tell us when they smell that odor,” Peggy Law, the founder of the organization, said.Law calls them "toddlers with superpowers. She saw the need for service dogs in her community, saying the demand grew enormously. With that demand comes more businesses entering the industry, but not always for the right reasons. Service dog companies and trainers are not monitored or regulated by any government agency. Instead, a nonprofit coalition has formed in its place.“We are really regarded as the global leaders of the industry for setting standards,” Chris Diefenthaler, the executive director of Assistance Dogs International (ADI), said.ADI has come up with its own peer-review accreditation process to help combat fraud.“It is a very thorough, comprehensive evaluation,” Diefenthaler said.ADI had 273 member organizations worldwide in 2018. In that year, they helped place more than 7,700 service dogs, four percent were diabetic alert dogs. Irene was trained through an ADI-accredited facility.“We have a reasonable sense of when I go to bed at night, being able to wake up,” Mason said.Some aren’t so lucky.“We found out he had skin issues which ended up being from autoimmune diseases from being overbred,” Michelle Ninstant said. Ninstant was desperate to find ways to help her son who had just been diagnosed with diabetes, and heard how service dogs could help.“My son, Zack Johnson, was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes back in 2012,” she explained. “He was very brittle, so no matter how much we gave him to carb him up and bring his sugars up he could drop 20, 30 seconds after that.”She found a company selling service dogs, with a price tag of ,000. After waiting nine months, she received Alan, a 13-week-old service dog who was supposed to come with basic training. Within days, Alan was shoeing troubling symptoms, and still had not learned the basics like “sit” or “stay”.“While we’re trying to learn about diabetes in general and then add a service dog onto it, add my sons health issues onto it,” the mother explained. “He’s part of your family so you just don’t want to send him back.”She said in the first year alone, vet bills totaled close to ,000 as they figured out what was causing Alan’s skin and immunity problems.Ninstant ended up training Alan herself with some help, and on multiple occasions Alan helped save Zack.But six years later, you can still see Alan struggle with skin problems and itching.“Alan’s part of our family,” Michelle said.Service Dogs of Virginia keeps up with their clients every year. “We want to make sure they’re doing all the things that they need to to make sure the dog is working well,” Law said.While Law said a service dog isn’t the right solution for everyone, there are ways to make sure you are buying from a trustworthy organization. “I think you have to ask a lot of questions,” she said. 4059

Taco Bell has a tortilla problem.The chain said that some restaurants are experiencing supplier shortages of tortillas, and that it is "working diligently to replenish the supply." Taco Bell, which has about 7,000 locations in the United States, did not share how many restaurants are dealing with shortages."We apologize for any inconvenience this might cause," Taco Bell added in a statement. The tortillas are used for its quesadillas and burritos.Some exasperated social media users complained about the limited menu on Twitter."I am at one of your Greater Rochester area locations and they are out of tortillas!" One user wrote on July 1. Another user complained on June 30 of shortages at a location in Rome, New York. A number said they were told by staff that the Taco Bell shortage is happening at locations nationwide.The shortages do not appear to be impacting Taco Bell's competitors.In response to queries, Chipotle and Qdoba told CNN Business that they are not experiencing shortages. Qdoba noted that it doesn't expect any in the near future.Taco Bell encouraged customers to order menu items that aren't made with tortillas, like the Power Menu Bowl or Cheesy Gordita Crunch.Last year, KFC — which, like Taco Bell and Pizza Hut, is owned by Yum! Brands — faced a chicken shortage so severe it had to temporarily shut down hundreds of restaurants in the United Kingdom. The brand apologized to customers for the inconvenience with a tongue-in-cheek ad. 1479

Regular nonstop flights between the east coast of Australia and London or New York could soon become a reality.In preparation, Australian airline Qantas has announced three test flights, with 40 people traveling directly from London or New York to Sydney, to see how the human body copes with 19 solid hours of air travel.Qantas previously announced its goal of operating direct flights between London, New York, and three Australian cities -- Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne -- by 2023.The test flights scheduled for October, November and December will move the airline closer to that target and enable Qantas, alongside medical experts, to test the health and wellbeing impacts on passengers and crew.Bjorn Fehrm, an aeronautical and economic analyst at Leeham News, explains to CNN the appeal of the ultra-long-haul flight, as opposed to a more typical two-part journey stopping in Dubai or Singapore.There's no layovers, no extra journeys through customs and no transfer stress, he points out. "You can plan it so you fly over night, and you could arrive to actually have a productive day the next day as well," says Fehrm. "It's going to be businesspeople that fly this way."If the 19-hour flight becomes a reality, it's likely to cost travelers more. "It's cheaper for the airline to do two separate flights," Fehrm says. "But some people are prepared to pay the extra price of that ticket."Before the trials begin later this year, three Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners, fresh off the production line, will be flown from Boeing's factory in Seattle to either London or New York.After the test flights -- two from New York, one from London -- the new planes will enter commercial service. Most of the people on board the test flights will be Qantas employees, so seats won't be available for purchase.Researchers from Sydney University's Charles Perkins Centre, Monash University and the Alertness Safety and Productivity Cooperative Research Centre -- a scientific program backed by the Australian government -- will examine the impact of the long flight on those on board.Passengers in the main cabin will wear monitoring devices, and experts from the Charles Perkins Centre will study how their "health, wellbeing and body clock" are impacted by a set of variables that include lighting, food and drink, movement, sleep patterns and inflight entertainment.Monash University scientists will focus on the flight crew, recording their melatonin levels before, during and after the flights, as well as studying brain wave data from electroencephalogram devices worn by the pilots.This information will then be shared with the Civil Aviation Safety Authority "to help inform regulatory requirements associated with ultra-long haul flights," Qantas said in a 2765
