I believe 50million people died in world war 2. This might sound like a large number to the reader but keep in mind that Russia alone lost over 20 million people making them the hardest hit nation during the war. Germany lost something around 8 million people. On top of the 6 million Jews murdered by SS units millions more cripples, Gypsies Slavic people, gays, Jehovah's witnesses and political rivals were also liquidated America lost the least amount of people, around 250,000. One must not forget the Rape of Nanking in which the Japanese occupation force killed over a million Chinese citizens, mostly women and children.
What does the Muslim title Mir e.g. Mir Sahib used in India signify?
Mir is a Kashmiri tribe in India and Pakistan. The word ''Mir'' is used as a respect for a person who is an in-charge, Head or Big-Landlord of a particular tribe, in India & Pakistan. So people use this word for respect when they call some one as ''Mir''. In urdu (language) ''Sahib'' means exactly the same as the word ''Mr'' in English. When you say ''Mr & Mrs'' in English then in Urdu language you say ''Sahib & sahiba''. Sahib for male and sahiba for female. So sahib is also a word used for respect in urdu. When ''Mir'' & ''sahib'' are used together that means you are calling that person with very respectfully.
This is why ''Mir Sahib'' is used also for a religious person to show great respect.
Do German shepherds get twisted stomach?
The cause of this disease is in some way related to the shape of the dog's chest, it tends to affect dogs whose chest has a tear-drop profile instead of a round profile like that of a Bulldog. Examples of dogs which might be affected would be Great Danes, Wolfhounds, German shepherds, Boxers, Standard Poodles, and more. This condition starts as a bloat where no doubt due to an abnormal fermentation condition in the stomach an excess of gas is produced and the stomach starts to swell, normally in a round chested dog belching and perhaps vomiting will relieve the situation and that is the end of the story. However in a breed of dog with a tear drop shaped profile the stomach will not only expand but will turn round on its axis and as further expansion of the stomach occurs it becomes trapped in the tear drop shape of the dog's chest. As the input pipe and the output pipe are blocked due to the twisting effect the stomach is then sealed and the further expansion will occur as the abnormal fermentation process is still present. Unless something is done quickly death will rapidly follow as the stomach swells to a very large size.
Symptoms: What you might expect to see is swelling of the dogs stomach area, attempting to vomit perhaps with some froth being produced, drooling of saliva, signs of pain, restlessness, and anxiety. Where the swelling is large the dog may be unable to sit.
Treatment : If the animal is got to the vet quickly and the condition is not too advanced it may be possible to pass a stomach tube orally, if successful this will release the gas in the stomach and it could be that the stomach would then turn on its axis to its proper position and that would be the end of the story. Often however this is not going to work and you then have to carry out emergency surgery, there are a number of ways that surgery can be carried out and your vet will use his own judgment which technique to use. Some vets stabilise these animals on fluids, use a large needle to deflate the stomach and then some hours later open the dog up and correct the situation. Other vets go in a once put the dog on a drip as they go along and correct the situation at once. When the stomach has been put in its rightful position it is possible to fix it to the body wall to try and stop the condition happening again in the future. I must have done a good few twisted stomach operations in my life as for many years I did my own out of hours emergency cover, I would say that the death rate was about one third of cases presented to me, the longer the delay in bringing the animal to the vet the higher the death rate will be.
Prevention : It may be that this condition is impossible to prevent but it would be logical to try and reduce the possibility of abnormal fermentation occurring in the stomach. Feed a number of smaller meals in the day as opposed to one large meal in the evening, avoid foods which are high in cereals which may ferment easily, do not feed the dog after exercise but wait a couple of hours. It would also be a good idea to introduce any new diet gradually say over four of five days.
Twisted stomach in the dog is perhaps the young vet's worst nightmare, however if they keep a cool head it can be fairly easily treated. From the owner's point of view this is one condition where you should seek immediate veterinary help if you have the slightest suspicion that your dog is affected. Get your dog to the vet at once no matter what time of night it might be, do not tolerate any delays, tell your vet you are driving to his clinic at once.

Is a 50watt amp big enough to gig with sufficiently?
There are a lot of factors that could affect the answer to this question, but generally speaking, 50 watts for a guitar should be plenty for most small to medium sized venues.
Many people assume that more watts equals more volume, but while this is true there is not a linear relationship between wattage and volume. A good rule of thumb is that doubling wattage roughly increases perceived volume about 3 decibels, roughly the perception limit (in other words, you would be able to say that one is louder than the other), and this assumes you're running them at full power.
Other factors to consider are the speaker quality (more efficient speakers are typically louder at the same amplifier level), whether or not you're using a solid-state or a tube/valve amp (tube amps are also typically louder), and whether or not the club has a PA and will mike the amp. In practice, a lower wattage tube amp, even 5 to 15 watts, may actually be better. A 15-watt head can be used to power a full 4x12 speaker cabinet (this would probably be too loud for many clubs), depending on the make. The tone of the guitar will be affected by the level of the amp, and for much rock music, playing a smaller amp at higher levels will achieve better tone, overdrive, and distortion than playing a larger amp turned down.
Please note that this answer is assuming the question is in reference to an electric guitar! For example, 50 watts would not be sufficient to amplify a bass guitar for the same size gigs.
German shepherd is limping and moans sometimes.she 8months old. what could this be?
All young shepherds are prone to problems with their hips. A goood percentage used to have hip displaysia (where the hip joint comes out of the socket) so they usually have their parents xrayed before breeding them. Now my 'very' well bred shepherd has hips that are too tight and has severe arthritis at 5 years old. He is on caprofen (s?) Rymadil and can not run without it flairng up.
I n our German Shepherd club they will not allow you to jump Shepherds until after 2 years of age because of this reason. See your vet.
Why wont your female German shepherd let your male German shepherd mount her?

What is king shepherd bite force?
I have a black king shepherd myself and am a professional dog handler and researcher. King shepherds are like the big baddie versions of German shepherds. They are comparatively very rare and much more expensive, (1500 to 2000) dollars in price for a good quality straight backed gentle giant.
those with sloped backs aren't as physically strong or agile with much more back problems. So I measured the bite force of mine and many other pure and healthy ones. The results were astonishing. And as this dog doesn't have as selective breed standards it mostly depends on the size. Some king Shepherds reach a height of around 25 - 29 inches at adulthood while some do reach a height of even 32 inches. Though the average 27 inch height king shepherd has a biteforce of... 654 psi. Though it might be different and if possible even more for one with more height. I myself have seen a king shepherd at my nearby dog park who was 31 inches tall and on measuring his biteforce was an unbelievable 703 pounds per square inch. That's more than the Cane Corso, know for having the 3rd strongest biteforce of all dog breeds. For all we know, it could be more or less than that as these dogs are a breed created by mixing the German Shepherd with the American Akita, Alaskan Malamute and sometimes also the Great Pyrenees in the 90's. You may not easily find facts like this about the King as it is not yet recognized by most kenned clubs and is a relatively new breed. For those who wonder, it has all the traits of the German Shepherd just with a bulky built and a larger and stronger body. It has the same personality of German Shepherd depending on its history. Easily trainable and loyal with natural protective instinct. Also if you are curious, most 29-30 inch tall king shepherds can run at a speed of 29 mph. That's a bit less than the German Shepherd, who maxes out at 30 mph. Though with that size, Its kind of obvious.
Hope this helped you, enjoy your day!
Can 5 German shepherds kill a lion?
Lion will first chase one dog at a time while the other four will attack and then lion will chase the other and this way they will kill him and German shepherd are very strong and smart enough to do that they have enough speed and they are having. the power of number.
A shepherd is responsible for the care and management of sheep and other livestock. Their duties typically include herding the animals to grazing pastures, ensuring their safety from predators, and monitoring their health. Shepherds often work in rural, pastoral settings and may use dogs to help manage the flock. Additionally, they may assist with breeding, feeding, and shearing the animals.
