Laminitis is a painful and potentially debilitating condition that affects the hooves of horses and other hoofed animals. It is characterized by inflammation and damage to the laminae, the sensitive structures within the hoof that attach the coffin bone to the hoof wall. One of the treatment options for laminitis is the use of a magic cushion. A magic cushion is a type of pad or cushion that is placed inside the hoof to provide support and relief to the affected areas. It is made from a special combination of materials, including a soft foam layer and an elastic layer. The magic cushion works by absorbing shock and reducing pressure on the hoof, which helps to relieve pain and inflammation.
In the past few decades, significant gains have been made in documenting women’s history and integrating it into historical discussion overall. The study of witch trials has not yet reached this point. Women are still discussed largely as victims. They are either victims of witchcraft, or victims because they were thought to be witches. While both these groups were certainly present, it is too simplistic a model. Women were much more than just these two things. Searchers, with their good social standing, respectability and power within the Hopkins Trials, are an example of the complexity of early modern English women’s lives. I have devoted my Departmental Honors Project to highlighting the importance of these women as a case study of the differences between women in contemporary England. Through the reading of primary sources which discuss at length the importance of marks and the testimony of women searchers, I prove that these women were not victims. They were set apart from those who were suspected of witchcraft and are an example of the attention women deserve in historical investigation.

The soft foam layer provides cushioning and support, while the elastic layer helps to distribute weight evenly across the entire hoof.
How to Spot Skin Cancer
Skin cancer is by far the most common type of cancer. If you know what to look for, you can spot warning signs of skin cancer early. Finding it early, when it’s small and has not spread, makes skin cancer much easier to treat.
Some doctors and other health care professionals include skin exams as part of routine health check-ups. Many doctors also recommend that you check your own skin about once a month. Look at your skin in a well-lit room in front of a full-length mirror. Use a hand-held mirror to look at areas that are hard to see.
Use the “ABCDE rule” to look for some of the common signs of melanoma, one of the deadliest forms of skin cancer:
Asymmetry
One part of a mole or birthmark doesn’t match the other.
Border
The edges are irregular, ragged, notched, or blurred.
Color
The color is not the same all over and may include shades of brown or black, sometimes with patches of pink, red, white, or blue.
Diameter
The spot is larger than ¼ inch across – about the size of a pencil eraser – although melanomas can sometimes be smaller than this.
Evolving
The mole is changing in size, shape, or color.
Basal and squamous cell skin cancers are more common than melanomas, but they are usually very treatable.
Both basal cell carcinomas and squamous cell carcinomas, or cancers, usually grow on parts of the body that get the most sun, such as the face, head, and neck. But they can show up anywhere.
Basal cell carcinomas: what to look for:
- Flat, firm, pale or yellow areas, similar to a scar
- Raised reddish patches that might be itchy
- Small translucent, shiny, pearly bumps that are pink or red and which might have blue, brown, or black areas
- Pink growths with raised edges and a lower area in their center, which might have abnormal blood vessels spreading out like the spokes of a wheel
- Open sores (that may have oozing or crusted areas) and which don’t heal, or heal and then come back
Squamous cell carcinomas: what to look for:
- Rough or scaly red patches, which might crust or bleed
- Raised growths or lumps, sometimes with a lower area in the center
- Open sores (that may have oozing or crusted areas) and which don’t heal, or heal and then come back
- Wart-like growths
Not all skin cancers look like these descriptions, though. Point out anything you’re concerned about to your doctor, including:
- Any new spots
- Any spot that doesn’t look like others on your body
- Any sore that doesn’t heal
- Redness or new swelling beyond the border of a mole
- Color that spreads from the border of a spot into surrounding skin
- Itching, pain, or tenderness in an area that doesn't go away or goes away then comes back
- Changes in the surface of a mole: oozing, scaliness, bleeding, or the appearance of a lump or bump

Carpenters’ marks, expressed in Roman numerals, can be seen in many timber framed buildings. Several of the responses we had from the public were in fact carpenters’ marks, rather than apotropaic marks.

Reviews for "Magic Cushion: A Holistic Approach to Laminitis Treatment"
1. Hannah - 2 out of 5 stars:
I purchased the "Magic cushion for laminitis" for my horse who was suffering from laminitis. I was very disappointed with the product. It did not provide any relief or comfort to my horse's hooves. In fact, it seemed to exacerbate the pain and make her movement even more difficult. I would not recommend this product to others dealing with laminitis.
2. John - 1 out of 5 stars:
I had high hopes for the "Magic cushion for laminitis" as I had read positive reviews about it online. However, after using it on my horse, I was thoroughly disappointed. The cushion did not live up to its claims of providing support and pain relief for laminitis. It was uncomfortable for my horse to wear and did not improve her condition in any way. I would not waste my money on this product again.

I was really hoping that the "Magic cushion for laminitis" would be a game-changer for my horse's laminitis. Unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. The cushion was difficult to apply and didn't stay in place properly. My horse seemed uncomfortable with it on and showed no signs of improvement. I will be looking for alternative treatments for laminitis and I would not recommend this product to others.
