Festive, oil-free granola made with pumpkin puree, coconut, almonds, raisins and plenty of fall spices.
At last the moment has arrived: my first spiced pumpkin recipe of the year. I almost feel like I'm late to the pumpkin party, given that the food blogosphere has been covered in pumpkin recipes for over three weeks now. Starbucks has been brewing Pumpkin Spice Lattes in the US and Canada for over two weeks. And Mars started selling Pumpkin Spice Latte M&M's in August.
But I didn't want to open the lid on my can of pumpkin recipes too early. The last thing I would want is for you to end up with Pumpkin Boredom Syndrome by mid-October. So I've been patiently waiting until today, the day before the September equinox.
The equinox, in case you weren't aware, marks the day that the Northern and Southern Hemispheres receive an equal amount of light from the Sun. It's often seen as the 'official' start to autumn in the north, and spring in the south.
I'm serious when I say 'waiting patiently'. Believe it or not, I actually made this recipe all the way back in March. I had half a mind to share the recipe right then, but the more rational side of my brain figured it was a little early.
So I started infiltrating the blog with pumpkins and squashes in more subtle ways, such as these Butternut Squash and Roasted Onion Tacos, Pumpkin and Zucchini Cauliflower Crust Pizza, Buckeye Brownie Baked Oatmeal, Jelly Doughnut Baked Oatmeal and Salted Chocolate Pecan Pie Oatmeal (yes, the last three all contain pumpkin).
Now that it's nearly October (yikes!), it's time to unleash the pumpkin spice!
This granola's made with a mixture of my favorite spices: cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves. Pumpkin puree, almond butter, brown sugar and maple syrup add moisture and flavor. Then, for some crunchiness and general excitement, there are almonds, pumpkin seeds, raisins and some shredded coconut.
There's no added oil, the granola's completely vegan, and it's gluten-free too (if you use certified gluten-free oats).
So I guess what I'm trying to say is: granola for all! (Uh, except for people with nut allergies. Sorry, it's not personal).
I hope everyone else is as excited as I am for the pumpkin spiced months ahead!
Finally, I'm going to end this post on something I hope to sustain throughout my holiday-themed recipes:
Yes, that thing exists!
Pumpkin Spice dog treats do, in fact, exist.
- ⅓ cup (85g) pumpkin puree
- 3 tablespoons (50g) almond butter
- ¼ cup (50g) brown sugar
- ¼ cup (60mL) maple syrup
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 ¼ cups (245g) rolled oats
- ½ cup (35g) shredded coconut
- ½ cup (75g) pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
- ⅓ cup (55g) whole almonds
- ⅓ cup (50g) raisins
- Preheat the oven to 340°F (170°C). Line a large baking sheet with non-stick paper.
- In a large bowl, use a fork to whisk together the pumpkin puree and almond butter. Add the brown sugar and maple syrup, and mix until smooth.
- Stir in the cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves and salt.
- Add the rolled oats, shredded coconut, pumpkin seeds and almonds. Mix until well combined.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking tray. Bake for 25 - 30 minutes, rotating the baking sheet halfway through, or until the granola is golden brown. The granola should be a little crunchy (at least on the edges of the baking tray), however, it will become crunchier as it cools.
- Allow the granola to cool. Ideally, transfer the granola from the hot baking tray and onto a clean surface or sheet of non-stick paper.
- Once completely cooled, stir in the raisins and store in an airtight container. Enjoy with yogurt and fruit, or just by the handful.

An exoplanet that orbits a red dwarf star about 40 light years from Earth may harbor alien life, because it is within its star's habitable zone. Now, a "super-Earth" has been found 39 light-years away, according to new research in the journal Nature.
Its star also emits less radiation than many other red dwarfs, making the planet more likely to have preserved an atmosphere.
LHS 1140b orbits in the HZ of its parent star, which is an important tick in the "can-host-liquid-water" column, but there are a myriad of other factors that could prevent the world from maintaining the vital asset.
Still, he said he's confident that astronomers will find a habitable planet soon, be it LHS 1140b or another.
LHS 1140 is an elderly red dwarf, about five billion years old, and after more than two years of observations, not one flare was detected. And it may even have an atmosphere. The planet was discovered in 2014 with the MEarth-South telescope array at Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile, using a method that measured the faint dimming of starlight as it passed across LHS 1140's disk.
Lead scientist Dr Jason Dittmann, from the Harvard-Smithsonian Centre for Astrophysics in Cambridge, US, said: "This is the most exciting exoplanet I've seen in the past decade".
Super-Earths exist in between. That's because they're the most abundant stars in the galaxy and some of the easier stars to capture transit signals from. If a star emits this radiation often enough, the atmosphere has no time to fix itself. It all started with the observation of a dip in the light of the star. But the smaller size of the star is offset by its proximity.
Follow-up observations carried out by a range of telescopes, including the European Southern Observatory's HARPS instrument then went on to characterize the planet's mass, density, and orbital period. That is proportional to the planet's mass.
When the star formed, it started out larger before condensing down to its dwarf star size.More news: Gonzalez, White Sox win to stop Yanks' 8-game win streak
The boundaries of the habitable zone are critical. That's what happened to Venus.
"It's just incredible what these amateurs are capable of", said Dittmann. That's where lava comes in. But Proxima b's position means astronomers can't get a good, hard look at the planet's atmosphere, if it has one.
But if it's too far, any water will freeze, as is seen on Mars. Just the right distance and equilibrium is achieved.
This habitable zone is also known as the "Goldilocks" zone, taken from the children's fairy tale. Part of what has scientists so excited about LHS 1140 is that it spends less energy sterilizing its neighborhood than Trappist-1. Depicted in blue is the atmosphere the planet may have retained. That, combined with the planet's estimated size, indicates this world is rocky.
LHS 1140b's star is comparatively larger than TRAPPIST-1 and brighter, so it could be an object of study for future ground-based telescopes in addition to the James Webb Space Telescope. "We don't have atmospheric measurements right now, but the star behaves nicely so that it's not ruling out anything", says Dittman.
"This is the first one where we actually know it's rocky", Charbonneau said.
Julien de Wit, one of the researchers that discovered the TRAPPIST-1 planets, agrees. "We plan to search for water, and ultimately molecular oxygen".
In the next several years, new telescopes should be able to use the planet's path to spy its atmosphere in what could be the best-aimed search for signs of life, said Harvard astronomer David Charbonneau, a co-author of the study. "We're essentially running down the list of the thing we want in a habitable planet and checking the boxes".

CHICAGO — With a 39-yard pass to running back Pierre Thomas on the the second drive in Monday night's game with the Chicago Bears, New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees surpassed the 4,000-yard mark for the ninth season in a row.
That extended Brees' own NFL record he set in 2012. Peyton Manning held the old mark with six in a row from 1999 to 2004 and previously had five 4,000-yard consecutive seasons from 2006-10.
Brees went on to throw for 375 yards in a 31-15 win over the Bears and now has 4,358 yards for the season.
Two-minute thrills
Despite their troubles this season, the Saints continue to have great success in scoring with the clock winding down in the first half.
Brees' 9-yard touchdown strike to Marques Colston with 38 seconds to play in the second quarter marked the eighth time in 14 games the Saints put points on the scoreboard in the final two minutes of the first half (six TDs, two field goals).
Third-down woes
Going into last week's game with the Carolina Panthers, the Saints led the NFL in third-down conversions, making a first down 51.3 percent of the time.
They also went 1 for 10 against the Panthers after missing on their final two in a 35-32 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers a week earlier.
They started the game missing their first three, which meant they made just one of the previous 15 before Brees threw an 18-yard pass to Jimmy Graham on the first drive of the third period.
They finished 4 of 11 for the game.
Lineup changes
The Saints started three players in their secondary who weren't on the active roster five weeks ago.
Jamarca Sanford started at strong safety for Kenny Vaccaro, who was the fifth defensive back in the nickel package, and Pierre Warren made his third start in a row at free safety.
Terrence Frederick, who was promoted from the practice squad in late November, played in only his third NFL game and started at cornerback.
The Saints inactives were CB Corey White, CB Stanley Jean-Baptiste, LB Moise Fokou, LB Ronald Powell, NT Lawrence Virgil, T Nick Becton and WR Seantavius Jones.
White, who started nine of 13 games this season at cornerback and practiced this week at safety, was part of the upheaval in the secondary.
Armstead leaves early
Saints left tackle Terron Armstead, who missed one practice and was limited in two others this week by a neck injury, played three series before going to the sideline late in the first period.
Armstead was replaced by Bryce Harris, who took over for him in the first half of last week's game with the Panthers.
Bailed out
Saints backup quarterback Luke McCown, the holder on place kicks, had the ball slip from his right hand as he tried to put it down for Shayne Graham's 51-yard field-goal attempt in the first quarter.
McCown picked up the ball, scrambled to his right and threw an incomplete pass. But there were offsetting penalties on both sides and Graham was wide right and short on the do-over.
'B' for Bailey
Saints coach Sean Payton had a pink script "B" embroidered on the side of his visor in honor of 11-year-old Bailey Leon, who is battling cancer.
Bailey watched Monday night's game from her hospital bed at Ochsner Medical Center. Bailey met Payton several times this season, including after Saturday's practice when he promised to bring her a muddy game ball.
Saints running back Khiry Robinson had a 2-yard run in the second quarter. It was his first carry since injuring his forearm on Oct. 19. He missed six games and was active last week, but didn't play. … The Brees-to-Colston TD pass was their 67th, which is tied for fifth on the NFL's all-time list for a quarterback-receiver duo. … Former LSU safety Danny McCray, the personal protector on the Bears' punt unit, was stopped short of a first down in the second quarter on a run up the middle on fourth-and-3 from the Chicago 39.

Quotes About Has My Blessing
There is a blessing in losing the one we love. It's the blessing of self-transformation. You don't have to who you were anymore. You've struggled. And now you can change. It doesn't mean that bits of that person won't cling to you, they will throughout your life, but they are now subsumed into something greater. That person has given you, in fact, the most important blessing, which is they gave you the blessing of transforming your soul into something better, something more beautiful.Send Quote
Our sages of blessed memory have said that we must not enjoy any pleasure in this world without reciting a blessing. If we eat any food, or drink any beverage, we must recite a blessing over them before and after. If we breathe the scent of goodly grass, the fragrance of spices, the aroma of good fruits, we pronounce a blessing over the pleasure. The same applies to pleasures of the sight. And the same applies to pleasures of the ear.Send Quote
Oh, from what heights of blessing it is possible for a man to fall! To what depths of sin a man can descend, even with all that spiritual background! The higher the pinnacle of blessing, authority, and publicity he has attained by grace, the deeper and more staggering can be his collapse. There is never a day in any man's life but that he is dependent upon the grace of God for power and the blood of Jesus for cleansing.Send Quote
Once in a while it vanishes - in the sense that I become deaf to beauty for a week or two or three. This coming and going of the inner life - because this is what it is - is a curse and a blessing. I don't need to explain why it's a curse. A blessing because it brings about a movement, an energy which, when it peaks, creates a poem. Or a moment of happiness.Send Quote
When we desire to be a blessing, we find that there are many ways in which we can bless others. We can give material goods to others, and we can also offer them the benefit of our experience. People who have faced and overcome challenges with alcohol and drugs often involve themselves in helping others who are experiencing similar difficulties. They understand the value of overcoming the problem. In every area of the human experience, we may find those precious ones who are able and willing to be a blessing to others.Send Quote
To receive a 10-point ride is a blessing in itself, but to have it honored by giving to those who could use a little support to accomplish the things they want to do in life is a bigger blessing. The school is something I believe hugely in. They provide a special place for kids to understand things that many people avoid or never learn to deal with their whole lives.Send Quote
My road to success was a long road to success was a long road. You get out of something what you put into it. I put blood, sweat and tears into stand-up comedy and the entertainment realm in general. For me to just know be coming around is a blessing. It's a blessing and it's an honor. It makes me say I can get more and I can do more.Send Quote
[Every disappointment or misfortune can become a blessing in disguise, for which we should be grateful. But only if the hidden blessing is anticipated, expected and searched for will it be found and recognised as such and the most made of it. For example...] Many a man curses the rain that falls upon his head, and knows not that it brings abundance to drive away hunger.Send Quote
Wouldst thou know the lawfulness of the action which thou desirest to undertake, let thy devotion recommend it to Divine blessing: if it be lawful, thou shalt perceive thy heart encouraged by thy prayer; if unlawful, thou shalt find thy prayer discouraged by thy heart. That action is not warrantable which either blushes to beg a blessing, or, having succeeded, dares not present a thanksgiving.Send Quote
Ironically, many people can't afford to give precisely because they're not giving. If we pay our debt to God first, then we will incur His blessing to help us pay our debts to men. But when we rob God to pay men, we rob ourselves of God's blessing.Send Quote
To what level does your patriarchal blessing reach in your life? Can you recollect the time you received it and recover any of the spirit of the occasion? Do you in quiet moments ponder it? Does Karl G.Maeser's phrase, "paragraphs from the book of our possibilities" rest upon you with a sense of mission so that, as President Heber J.Grant exemplified, "you "dream nobly and manfully" and prepare ceaselessly? Do you ever think of Heber C.Kimball's faith that you can "write your own patriarchal blessing" under inspiration, for, saith the Lord, "No good thing will I withhold...Send Quote
The habit of quietly absorbing the shocks will be quite a great help to stabilize pure awareness. The technique is: Just feel not disturbed.

Vanity was the beginning and the end of Sir Walter Elliot's character; vanity of person and of situation. He had been remarkably handsome in his youth; and, at fifty-four, was still a very fine man. Few women could think more of their personal appearance than he did, nor could the valet of any new made lord be more delighted with the place he held in society. He considered the blessing of beauty as inferior only to the blessing of a baronetcy; and the Sir Walter Elliott, who united these gifts, was the constant object of his warmest respect and devotion.Send Quote
I teach and believe that God wants his people to be blessed. If we give and we are a blessing to other people, that God promises in his word that he will take care of us. Actually, says he'll open the windows of heaven and pour out a blessing so great that we can't contain it.Send Quote

Official reports called it a "comfortable" victory for President Alvaro Uribe. Of the 100 contested seats for the Colombian senate, Uribe's supporters obtained 61 seats while those counted as opposition (Liberals and the leftist Polo Democratico Alternativo) obtained 29 seats, while "Independent" parties obtained the remaining 10 seats. At the Chamber of Representatives, the seats went 91 for Uribe, 45 for opposition and 30 for independents of the total 166 seats. In practical terms, this means that Uribe counts with an absolute majority for the upcoming legislative agenda which includes ratification of the recently signed Free Trade Agreement with the USA and a number of reforms that will facilitate corporate control over wealth, resources and territories, as well as savings, investments and cheap labor.

Open Letter from Pueblos En Camino to the Government of Canada regarding Amparo Torres.
We write this letter out of concern for due process and the protection of the rights, freedoms,life, and safety of Amparo Torres, a permanent resident in Canada.
As Canadians and Colombians we are concerned that the alleged evidence gathered in this case has not been made available to the public. While we do not know if the information has been made available to Ms.Torres and her counsel, we believe that Ms.Torres's due process rights are at risk and that she is at risk of being expelled from Canada.
Mother Earth Forces Uribe to Step Back
Today, November 18th 2005, day 37 of the Freedom for Mother Earth struggle from the Japio Hacienda and from the other 15 haciendas in the Cauca Department, we are proud to annnounce our victory on behalf of the Colombian Popular Movement. The Government of President Uribe was forced to recognize the legitimacy and the strength of the indigenous and popular struggle, thanks to the presure of more than 10.000 people who fight for freedom from this corner of the planet called Cauca.
The Government had to take back what it had said about indigenous peoples owning too much land, that we are infiltrated by terrorists, that it would not negotiate under presure (a condition that applies only to unarmed civilians) and aknowledge the justice of our demands not only because of our actions but because of the solidarity expressed in Colombia and the World.
Here's a translation from the Peace Community of San Jose de Apartado:
The Peace Community of San Jose de Apartado asks urgently for national and international solidarity. The Army has today indiscriminately bombed in Arenas Altas and Bajas. Ground troops have thrown grenades against the civilian population in this humanitarian zone. One of the grenades was thrown and hit Arlen Salas David, the coordinator of the humanitarian zone of Arenas Altas, who was working in the field. He is badly injured. A commission from the community left at 2pm to retrieve him. We are unsure if we will be able to save his life as he is very badly wounded. The indiscriminate bombings continue. We ask for urgent actions to guarantee the lives of the commission, 42 families of the humanitarian zone and the other families of Arenas, to avert a massacre.

Re: liberar la madre tierra !
Strategic Planning
The kids at National Planning have a view of the country that looks down from the commanding heights of the towers of 26th Street. Their view of the country used to be from the beltway that ringed Bogota. Later, when they opened their business consulting office, they discovered how the country looked from their private helicopters. There are some exceptions: a few come down to Sasaima on Sundays to play golf – of course, they only do so after they've called the local Battalion to ensure their security – and the vast majority have laundered their engineering degrees from Colombian universities with PhDs in economics from provincial gringo universities. They don't understand anything other than figures. Figures, after all, are the only way to measure the value of everything in terms of money, which is in the end what is of interest to them. It is their specialty. They assume the world began on the day they put on their tie and, with their father's (or their uncle's) connections, signed their first contract. I say these boys have come to tell us that the land (and the concentration of land ownership) has ceased to make any economic sense.
The Price of Our Struggle: Individuals and Groups, using threats and dirty war, seek to silence us

The Association of Indigenous Councils of Northern Cauca (ACIN) –CXAB WALA KIWE, announces the following to national and international public opinion.
1. In the past several days, a wave of threats has fallen over various of our community members, leaders, and authorities. To us this translates to a clear message that there are those who seek to destabilize the process of the indigenous communities in the northern zone of the department of Cauca.
In face of the escalation of the war in our territory, and taking into account the difficult situation in which we are living, we the Nasa Paez communities reiterate before national an international opinion – as has already been expressed in the official communiqués of the ACIN beginning on April 15, 2005 (see www.nasaacin.net) – our call to a:
An Open Letter to the Combatants in the Colombian Conflict, FARC and the Government of Colombia.
Since April 14, 2005, the territories and communities of Northern Cauca have been transformed into battlefields. Only the representatives of armed factions have been heard. Civilians have been displaced, wounded, and killed; their houses, churches, schools, and hospitals have been destroyed. Their voice, the most important voice in the conflict, has been drowned out.

Are you in the business of writing essays for other people, particularly those who really are in need of academic writing help? It is not anymore surprising that many students want to avail of the services of an essay writer — for many reasons. One of those reasons is to gain more knowledge on how to write a certain type of academic essay. Clients are typically willing to shell out a certain amount of money just to be able to gain knowledge and skills in writing academic pieces.
If you are new to this type of business, then it would be to your advantage to know of the biggest challenges that comes with it.
One of the biggest challenges that come with the essay writing business is that you and your writers, if you have some, should have intimate knowledge of academic essay writing. This means that you and your writers should not only know you are writing essay, but also how to write them.
Intimate knowledge of academic essay writing includes but is not limited to:
- Knowledge of the different types of essays. Each essay type has its own format and writing approach. It is essential to know how each essay type is written, since as an essay writer, you are not only restricted to composing one type.
- Knowledge of how to structure a certain type of essay. Structuring is important, especially if the assignment entails writing a specific essay type. Knowing how to make clear and effective transitions is an essential in essay writing.
- Knowledge of how to write an effective introduction, a coherent body and a definite conclusion. Knowing how to write these essay parts is vital in transforming ideas and gathered information into a readable and understandable composition.
- Knowledge of how to cite sources, use passive voice and employ proper punctuation as well as knowledge on how to fully make the essay objective while avoiding common logical fallacies.
- Knowledge of how college writing works. College writing is very different from high school compositions. College writing is more analytical and more flexible.
- Knowledge of how to properly edit and proofread a completed. You and your writers should always make sure that the final paper is of quality.
Another big challenge that comes with the essay writing business is how to deal with plagiarism. While you are just writing essays to serve as examples for students to refer to when they create their own compositions, you should also be careful that you are not copying other's works. You should also be careful that you are properly citing your sources in the essay. Remember that you are giving your clients a good example, and writing a bad essay would be a big taboo.
Likewise, getting clients is also one of the biggest challenges in an essay writing business. Who will be your clients? Where can you get them? How can you get them to avail of your services? How will you market your essay writing business? How will you be able to assure them of the quality of your works?
Knowing these biggest challenges in the writing essay writing business will allow you to prepare for what is up ahead, enabling you to succeed in your new endeavour.

I picked up The Feeling's new album 'Join with Us' a couple of weeks ago, and it's been looping pretty much ever since. I adored their first album1, and its final track "Blue Piccadilly" is my 2nd all-time-most-played song, according to iTunes. I'm happy to say I like their second just as much – it's happy, fun and eminently sing-along-able. iTunes says my most played track is "Don't Make Me Sad", although the endearingly bonkers "Turn It Up" is close behind. Highly recommended by me.
There's one caveat: I have heard complaints over the compressed nature of the sound. I'm not particularly sensitive to that kind of thing, but can pick up on it at times. My computer and car speakers aren't all that great to begin with, so it's not too annoying, but it could be a problem on a better system – just thought I'd mention it.

ABVC Rescue Partner – The Animal Project
Interview with Montserrat Martin and Nathalie Grall-Sorensen of The Animal Project
How did THE ANIMAL PROJECT (also known as ''FRIENDS OF ANIMALS'' ) start?
I have worked with animals for over 30 years. When I arrived in UAE in 2001, I was helping FF (Feline Friends) and after a while due to dealing with cats, dogs, horses and other animals FA (Friends of Animals) started.
2008 was the year that I stumbled upon a terrible case in Ajman, where an injured dog sustaining an open leg fracture who was only helped by workers that fed him for four months and all put money together to buy Iodine to help the dog. After rescued his leg was amputated and find a loving home, today he is in New Zealand. I realised that the only thing that took was effort and little time. That rescued led to another and another and another, leaving behind hundreds of happy ending stories.
It gives great satisfaction when you can see animals and humans happily merged.
I soon realised that rescuing was the result of strays over populated areas, and the wiser thing to do was to focus on preventive initiatives, allowing some rescues as a collateral process and not the other way around.
What does THE ANIMAL PROJECT do exactly?
We mainly focus on sterilisation campaigns in Dubai. WE are NOT a shelter; we work with technology and speedy social media platforms to achieve fast and cost-effective results, involving the community.
– WE work directly with the community facilitating information, providing discounted veterinary clinic rates, advertising and finding suitable permanent homes for fostered rescued/unwanted pets , provide legal advice and action to be taken as per LAW N16 for Animal Welfare in UAE, and we encourage and help the community to do "Community Social Responsibility" stray cats TNR (Trap, neutering and release).
– WE insist on maintaining an excellent relation and support all the Animal Welfare Groups listed in the region: We have the same interest, Animal rights, and improvements.
What is the primary goal of THE ANIMAL PROJECT?
To emphasize on animal awareness, so people could get involved in small operations (starting in their area) to manage larger areas.
To provide animal welfare advise to public members or direct people to the right entities to do so.
To alleviate suffering from animals and to promote kindness.
To cooperate with the government by reporting any cruelty or abuse to animals, demanding justice.
Why did you want to be a licensed and legalized organization?
We don't particularly want to be legalised like another shelter or, charity or pity organisation. We are aiming to be a profit making company that finances animals in the community, just as ABVC is a profit making, but highly promotes animal welfare campaigns and finances all TNR campaigns. We are happy to be a different business model that not only covers people's salaries allowing them to work with animals but also finances a lot of animal cases.
Who are your main partners?
How is the partnership with ABVC helping THE ANIMAL PROJECT?
By constantly allowing us to do free TNR and reduce cost TNR and general treatments, by allowing young animals to be exposed and get new homes, by inspiring us making us feel that we are not alone …
What is your general intake on pets in Dubai? What do you think is the biggest factor resulting in so many abandoned pets?
UAE is a highly transient place for work. People get carried away with salaries, glamorous places, new cars, higher lifestyle, adding a pet will complement the rest of their lifestyle. Sadly, before adopting, they never bother to find out a cost of shipping the pet back, pet facilities back home or next visiting countries and so on.
Many pets are also not even sterilised so when they get abandoned so new breeding spots will start.
When that animal adopted or purchased enters a home and people start to find out the responsibilities, sacrifices involved in keeping them, the vet cost (not with ABVC) 🙂 Then, the pets is no longer a pet, but becomes a pest.
What would be your solution to limit abandonment and animal abuse?
Implementation of the law, Implementation of the law and Implementation of the law.
Sadly education won't be as effective as punishment, and the reason is that often adults commit the offences and not kids. Many cases could be avoided based on preventive measures such as strong registration records from pets and owners. (in an ideal world) An endorsement to the visa stating that the person is a pet owner, proving when leaving the country that the pet has been successful homed to a third party, relocated to the owner's next destination, put to sleep or has died.
Offering a travelling scheme embedded with a pet medical insurance, so by paying yearly, by the time they leave, their pets relocating transport will be covered.
Please share your nicest pet/rescue/foster story with us?
We can proudly say we have too many. Please read below and see some of the links.
We have a lot of stories, but recently we have been called on Friday by someone who already adopted a cat from our organization, they reported a dog and cat locked in a villa as the owner left to their country over night and abandoned the pets inside their villa. We took them out and found a foster home in few hours. A few days later the Labrador and the Angora cat have found fantastic family and thanks, ABVC who sterilized the two who were not microchip or sterilised.

Hang Ten California
HANG TEN is a California lifestyle and surfing brand that radiates a fun and free-spirited coastal attitude. Founded in 1960 in Californian by Doris Moore and Duke Boyd, Hang Ten set the standard for Southern California surf style when he first sewed a pair of little feet on a pair of nylon trunks.
HANG TEN went on to become a pioneering force in action sports. Today, the brand licenses its iconic logo and designs for premium headwear, apparel, bicycles, paddle boards, skateboards, surfboards, sun care, children's fashion and much more. HANG TEN is located in California and is sold in stores worldwide.
Building off the iconic "feet" mark, which carries over 50 years of brand equity, HANG TEN transcends its roots to give consumers a brand that is nostalgic, yet trendsetting. More than an apparel line - no matter where life in the sun heads - HANG TEN will be there.

I am participating in #the100dayproject by completing paper collages and sharing on Instagram using the hashtag #100daysofpaperandpaste. My first post on this topic can be found here.
I'm in love. I love the process. I love the color and paper play. I'm ready to embrace the title "artist" again. In making and taking time to create art again, I feel more like myself.
This all sounds grand - and it is! - but it isn't coming super easily, either. Some days, yes. But many days, there is a real struggle before there is art. The struggle comes, in part, through the constraints of the project - both real and self imposed.
I feel constrained by the colors I can find in the resources at my disposal. In all of the magazines I've perused for color, pink, orange and yellow are hard to come by. And they are my faves. I can find little bits, but no full-page swaths of color like are readily available for black, grey and blue.
I feel constrained by the paper itself. I have this desire to be expressive with my strokes of color and this feels somewhat impossible with cut out paper. Perhaps I just haven't thought through this or played around with this enough.
I feel constrained by the color palette, style and overall "collection" that I've began. I realize this is silly. It's my project. I can take it any direction I please. Still, I feel pulled to make each piece fit in with the others.
Related to that, I would love to go through this first set of pieces hanging on my bedroom wall and pull out about 8 of them. Doing so would make me much happier with the overall look of the collection. For now, I'm resisting this temptation.
But all of this struggle gets back to the point of the project, right? Doing something for 100 days means that there will be days that I produce things I don't like and days that end with true gems. Doing something for 100 days means learning new things, slowly but surely.
I am tempted to turn this into a four phase project - each phase consisting of 25 days and creating its own collection. Doing so would help me to feel like there was room to take things in a new direction - new colors, new shapes, new themes - while sticking to the same medium.
Conversely, I am tempted to force myself to push through. I wonder if doing so would lead to "better" pieces as time passed.
For now, I'm undecided. And I have a couple days left to ponder. So, stay tuned for an update - or just follow along on Instagram to see if number 26 is drastically different from her predecessors.

Ask the nursing expert: handling an abrasive nurse manager
Ask the nursing expert
Meet with your nurse manager and let her know ahead of time that you want to do some goal setting with her for her unit, and to discuss how she feels she can motivate her staff to "work with her" to reach the goals you both set. It will give her time to think about how she currently motivates her staff to do a good job and how to introduce "change" to them.
Together, you can make a list of pros and cons in the way she manages her staff. Encourage her to work on the approaches that are not getting her the results she wants. Create some scenarios and ask her how she thinks she should handle them. When the approach seems too "abrasive," ask how she might try to handle it differently.
End your meeting by giving her some homework for your follow-up meeting, such as identifying a staff member she has difficulty getting along with and her trying a different approach in how she speaks to her. Schedule a follow up meeting in a month or so. Practice makes progress.
I have worked with a nurse who I know is difficult to trust on a personal level. I have never known her to be dishonest clinically, but I am on the lookout. Is that wrong?
I don't think it hurts to be on the "lookout" in her managing clinical issues, and slowly step away in the personal arena. Staff will also watch to make sure that you don't have "favorites."
I have learned that staff keep an eye on how I handle most situations and although they might not agree with how I handle the issue, as long as I am open, honest, consistent and fair, they respect my decisions.

Dancer? Painter? Graphic designer? Hip-hop artist? Tell us about your dream job. Is anything standing in the way? Or, if you already have your dream job, tell us about your journey to get it.
My future desired job is to be a teacher
My name is Muhoza Sharifah. In 2014, I joined Educate! Club at Mbogo Mixed Senior Secondary School in Form Five. At that time I had no idea of starting my own enterprise. During the Educate! Club, we developed innovative business ideas, such as rabbit farming, poultry, shops salons etc. I chose Poultry farming and got some capital from my dad. I managed to buy a hen and cock. Now I have 15 birds and I sell most of them to hotels and restaurants. Each hen/cock costs about 20,000 Shillings. I am able to cater for my basic needs. My business is a great success. My future desired job is to be a Teacher.
My dream :)
Hello my name is Raquel, I'm from El Salvador I'm 18 years old. I'd like to be a theater artist but also I'd like to help the planet. I love theater cuz I like to express my feelings in the stage and I'd like to have my theatrical company and to have a programs that help the planet how tree sowing or cleaning contaminated habitats. I love performing and I love the planet but If we don't have a better planet we won't have a better life.
Thanks for all. :)
Lines Over Beats
I have always loved to rap. As a kid, I grew up listening to hip hop heads such as Rakim and Bone Thugs N Harmony. What hooked me into this kind of music is the advocacy in each song. Whether it be over a slow or a fast beat, my soul is always flourishing because of all these songs. What hurts the most with being a hip hop fan is the criticism you get. Most people criticize hip hop/rap for indecency, drugs, and the objectification of women. Another thing is that hip hop is mostly correlated to African-Americans. However, there's another side to hip hop. Hip hop is a culture.Hip hop is colorless, hip hop is not racist. We live hip hop. It flows in our blood. For now, I am starting to write poems and spit lines over beats. I hope people get to appreciate hip hop more as more hip hop heads start to voice out advocacies
Fashion writing
Chad McClain is 19-years old and an assistant youth coordinator at YouthGROW in Worcester, MA. Last year, McClain had to tackle a number of financial burdens, and was working 2 jobs, 50 hours a week, to try and bridge the gap. McClain is also an english major in college, and the long work hours took a toll on his grades. He ended up losing his financial aid. "You never know when life is going to hit you with something," he said. "To me, I thought it would never happen and I would get it back immediately." YouthGROW was able to help, teaching McClain how to budget and come up with a game plan. McClain wants to start a fashion magazine at school, and work on his writing.
Music and cinematography from former Liberian refugee
Ralph Weah is 19-years old from Worcester, MA. When he was young, his family moved to the U.S. to flee civil war in Liberia. Weah lived in a refugee camp in Buduburam for 8 years of his life before resettling in the United States, but his passion for cinematography and music led him to create his company SteadyWave Productions. He's also working with YouthGROW, a youth employment program in Worcester. "It's terrible when people say we're looking for a certain age or demographic, but we want you to have experience," Weah said. "I think there should be a focus on giving youth a chance when they apply for those jobs, and not letting age be a big factor. It doesn't always correlate with experience and maturity."
An Actor in the Making
I've always loved to act. I've been on stage since I could walk and love being in the spotlight! I am currently deciding where to get my Masters in Acing/Theatrical Performance. I'm still looking at schools and figuring out where it's best for me to further my education. It's always been a dream of mine to be PAID to be on stage and engage in this art form which I thought was impossible. I realized a long time ago that you have to follow your dreams, no matter how far-fetched they are and try your very best to make it into that field or pursue a certain career. It's easy to decide to get a job that "pays well" and is economically sustainable if that's your main goal in life. But most people wish to be artists or craftspeople and never do it because it's not lucrative or they prefer to life a live with no monetary restrictions. I feel that a person should go for the stars first and try their hardest to achieve their dream before settling into an office cubicle that they hate and complain about for the rest of their lives. I'm not looking to be rich or famous, I just want to be the best I can be and hopefully important people in the acting industry will see that and want me to portray their characters. Anyway, I know it's a cliché but: FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS
I wanna be a rock 'n roll star
If I wasn't a journalist, I'd want to be a professional musician. I love the touring, the crowds and the music itself. I took this photo of Radiohead lead singer Thom Yorke and Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea last December at Pathway to Paris. They were jamming for young climate activists, and it was one of the best shows I've ever seen.
Owning our future of innovation
My aspirations have always had some connotation of creativity and innovation, whether it be in a creative industry or not. I may not have immediately chosen the right path but am finding it little by little everyday and realising that the best way for me to grow professionally as well as a human, is to be part of creativity. I am incredibly lucky to be currently living in the rich and vibrant culture and arts hub that Edinburgh represents with its many world-renowned festivals and a million other activities and opportunities to choose from everyday.
Having experienced this environment, I want to spend my career, whether it be as through freelance, or startups or companies, to make the arts, creative outlets and innovation-fostering opportunities more accessible to the young and aspiring generations to come. Not all places in the world are as vibrant as the city I live in but I would like to see things change in the future.
I see around me so many student entrepreneurs passionate about creativity and culture, however it is often the case that great ideas go unnoticed due to lack of support or funding, and that is how the could-be newest innovations die. I believe in fostering creative thinking and being part of the up-and-coming innovation culture, and I intend to be a part of it through contributing everything I can offer, from my own creativity to helping others achieve their goals.
No stories with location.

|New Fashion Bias Binding from the 1950's
|Hat Pins
|Best British Manufactured Brass Pins.
|Nylon mending kit for stockings - complete with nylon thread!
|Eyelet kit and belt buckles - bakelite and mother of pearl.
|Sweet green and gold packaging!
|1920's beaded evening purse.
Aren't these antique sewing items beautiful! They were a Birthday present from my lovely friend Kate (who's inspiring blog you can visit here). They range in age from Victorian to 1950's and were discovered, I'm told, at the collectors market in Devises - Wiltshire.
I love the attention to detail in the packaging - especially the sweet illustrations, and also the fact that everything was made in Britain! They've inspired me to make a little more time for my sewing projects over the next few months.
If you're looking to get out of town for a weekend in the country I would recommend a visit to Devises - it's a beautiful historic little village surrounded by some of the most beautiful and fascinating English countryside (Stonhenge, The stone circle at Avebury and West Kennet Longbarrow to name a few!). We went for a little visit earlier in the year and you can read all about it here.
Thank you Kate!

Welcome back to the big screen, Will Smith. But did you have to choose "Men in Black III" as your first film since 2008's "Seven Pounds?"
The third chapter in the "MIB" trilogy isn't the disaster many feared. All that talk of an unfinished script and production delays spelled doom, not to mention it's been a full decade since the underwhelming "Men in Black II" hit theaters.
Smith gets to pal around with both the laconic Agent K (Tommy Lee Jones) and his younger self (Josh Brolin) in the third installment. That's not shabby for the price of admission, even with the superfluous 3D surcharge. But the "MIB" franchise doesn't have much new to say, and the skimpy story feels like it was cobbled together to highlight its stars, not tell a story you won't forget in a few short hours.
What movie were we discussing again?
The sequel starts with a nasty alien named Boris the Animal (Jemaine Clement) breaking out of a space-based prison. Boris wants revenge on Agent K (Jones), the Man in Black who imprisoned him decades ago, blasting the monster's arm clean off in the process.
When Boris transports himself back into the late 1960s for a rematch with Agent K, it's up to Agent J (Smith) to stop him by following in Boris' time-skipping heels. That leads to some predictable culture clash bits involving the '60s as well as the chance to see what Agent K was like before all those wrinkles and slow burns settled in for the long haul.
"Men in Black III" showcases some new cast additions but gives them precious little to do or say. Why bother inviting Emma Thompson to the party if you're going to squander her comic gifts?
But Brolin's performance as the young, less embittered K is a constant delight. It's not merely uncanny to watch Brolin channel Jones. Brolin builds on the chemistry Smith and Jones secured in the first two films, with with a few new twists to keep us engaged.
Too bad the story doesn't measure up to all the star power on display. The scenes entertain individually, especially an appearance by Andy Warhol (Bill Hader), but they feel like "MIB" sketches meant to appease our short attention spans.
The final act features a rushed emotional moment that stands at odds with the movie's otherwise jaunty tone, and Jones' limited screen time suggests he was considered too old for the franchise or wanted little to do with extending it past its prime.
"Men in Black III" reminds us Smith has charisma to spare, but this goofy franchise doesn't deserve him at this point.

Always Available When You Need Me
Call us to speak with our experienced Attorney and get the advice you need.
It is important to know what options are available to you before you move forward.
Call today or fill out this easy online form to have an attorney review your DUI case.
A speedy trial waiver is usually required to get a continuance (postponement)
of the Court hearing to another date. This is a very routine procedure.
Put simply, in Washington State you have to be brought to Trial within
90 days of arraignment or first appearance. This time-frame is shortened
to 60 days if you are in Jail. In most DUI or Physical Control cases you will
speedy trial several times. (you will execute a speedy trial waiver at Court) Typically,
this means the 90 or 60 days begins to run
anew. Usually, it is in your interest to have more time for your DUI attorney
to interview witnesses, investigate and prepare your case as well as try
to resolve it. (there are also
exceptions to the speedy trial rule that can also extend the time for trial)

In January, 2016, Blue Belt was acquired for $275 million by global orthopedic leader Smith & Nephew.Pittsburgh Business Journal
Milestone-driven Execution
I've experienced every stage of a start-up from it's birth and infancy, through serious R&D efforts and long-stretches of product iteration and development, to rapid growth, commercial sales, and acquisition. One of the strongest lessons I've learned is how to find the right people for your organization, and how to identify the right milestones to grow the business.
As part of my start-up story I've experienced raising funds for a business from many different sources, including: government grants, economic development, angels, private equity, debt finance and more. I've pitched more than 200 investors working to turn my "no's" into a "yes". My companies have raised tens of millions and exited successful multiples back to our investors.
University Tech Transfer
One of the first hurdles we overcame at Blue Belt was to negotiate a license for our core technology, which was invented at Carnegie Mellon University by a PhD student. I worked closely with the university tech transfer office to achieve this, and to create a lasting partner that worked with our company as we grew and scaled. Later in Blue Belt's life, I worked to acquire out-right the IP surrounding our technology, enabling a smooth transition through our acquisition.
Strategic Planning
Starting, growing and selling a business based around a complex medical technology requires focused strategic planning. My work centered around building a strong, defensible base of intellectual property through patent and trademark management; fostering and growing business partnerships; and negotiating from various positions.
The Startup Breakdown is a comprehensive program developed to ensure an idea or invention addresses the essential business and technical issues that are critical to a successful commercialization plan and fund raising strategy.
Hi, I'm Craig. My passion lies in helping entrepreneurs, inventors and students bring an idea from start to start-up. I know that the StartUp BreakDown can help you, too.Craig Markovitz
The Startup Breakdown Profile asks important questions designed to get you thinking strategically about your idea, invention or business. It covers the product or service, the market, customers, competition, funding, and goals and objectives.
Here's a look at the 8 modules
StartUp BreakDown is the simple, effective program that you need to start today. I created this because over the years I've spoken to so many of you who just don't know how to get started. All of the modules are free and available for you here. Just click the title below to check them out, and download the Profile to follow along as you build your own business plan.
A critical step in building a business or commercializing technology is to identify a real problem that customers are experiencing.
You must provide meaningful and impactful benefit to customers. There must be a significant "Goodness Factor."
If the target market potential is too small or has unfavorable trends, there are virtually no prospects to scale your idea.
We need to explore your business model, your commercial lever points. In other words, how will it make money?
Learn what makes for a thorough review of the competition. Validate the uniqueness and potential for your new concept.
Building a complete team, with the right skills, is vital to your success. Figure out what that looks like so that you can execute your idea.
"Ideas are a dime a dozen but people who put them into action are priceless." Identify milestones and piece together strategy and tactics into a plan.
Entrepreneurs and investors are in this game for the same reason, to generate a return sufficient to justify the effort and risk. Let's talk exit plans.
This is where it all comes together. I'm going to give you a personalized review of all 8 modules. You will receive a comprehensive written assessment with actionable advice so that you can move forward and launch your business to success!
Check out a case study from medical robotics company Blue Belt Technologies. Review both an example of the StartUp BreakDown profile, as well as the type of detailed analysis you can expect for your business or idea.
There are many reasons for a potential investor, strategic partner, or business-plan competition judge to say "no." Your success in getting their interest is dependent on your ability to articulate the opportunity and explain your business model in a compelling manner.
If you've been at the stage of discussing your idea or invention with others than you also know that these stakeholders are so busy that they rarely have the time to provide the feedback needed to improve your pitch. That's why I created the Startup Breakdown.
This is your opportunity to identify strengths and weaknesses in your approach, and to prepare a strategy to achieve your goals. I will work with you to make certain that you are ready to take the next step. There are no guarantees in the startup world but Startup Breakdown will ensure that your idea or invention has maximized its chances for success.
You are an entrepreneur with an idea that excites you. You might be at a very early stage evaluating it's potential, or pitching at a business-plan competition, or positioning your organization for commercial growth. Let me help you get to the next step.
You are one of those people who are always coming up with ideas. Well, you've finally found something that you think could gain some traction. Let's work together to make sure that you've thought through the market, conditions and opportunities.
You are working on cutting edge research on your own or in a lab. There's something there, that has commercial potential. But you're not sure how to take things to the next level. I want to work with you.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley launched her new lingerie collection "Rosie for Autograph" held Wednesday at London's Marks & Spencer Marble Arch.
The 26-year-old model may have chosen an all-black ensemble, but nothing about her look was boring. Her black ribbed cotton three-quarter-sleeved Marks & Spencer top was tucked in to a black high-waisted Marks & Spencer leather pencil skirt (designed with white irregular-shaped patterns that remind us of cows but amusingly doesn't bother us at all).
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley wore a pair of black snakeskin Gianvito Rossi pointed-toe pumps and two golden rings and a gold pendant necklace. She then wore her hair down with a pair of gold-rimmed crystal earrings peeping and sealed off her look with gorgeous natural-looking makeup.

Saturday, I had the absolute pleasure of attending the Musgrave Wedding at Hilton College Chapel for the service and the reception at Old Halliwell Country Inn. The wedding was beautiful. Such attention to detail, including handmade table decorations and the canoe paddle arch. I have known Jules since 2010 when I moved to PMB and remember our first encounter was supper at Spur at the mall! I cannot remember exactly when I first met Kev *facepalm* but got to know him better when I went on holiday with him, Jules, Car, Coen and Lu up to Hluhluwe in April last year. Over the course of these past two years, I've seen Jules fall more in love with this man and she lights up just talking about him. I am so glad that you've found each other and know that great things lie ahead for the couple.
We loved with a love that was more than love.

August 11, 2011 (CHICAGO) --After a two-year battle with City Hall, a West Side hot dog stand finally got to put up its sign Thursday.
That sign is for Felony Franks. The hot dog stand hires former convicts and gives them a chance to start an honest life.
Second Ward Alderman Robert Fioretti fought to prevent the establishment from putting up a street sign. He felt the name would give the neighborhood a bad image.
The City Council approved the sign after the owner filed a federal lawsuit. The lawsuit is still pending.

Adam Levine's new wife Behati Prinsloo has sealed her union with the singer by inking a tiny tattoo on her ring finger.
The Victoria's Secret model and the Maroon 5 frontman tied the knot in July (14), and due to the nature of her job, Prinsloo found herself unable to wear her wedding band or engagement ring much of the time.
During an interview with Yahoo! Style, Prinsloo showed off her simple solution - a tattoo of three tiny dots on her left ring finger.
She explained, "It means being one with the earth. And I just wanted it on my ring finger so when I take it (the ring) off, it's still there! I wanted a ring but everybody does the ring so I got the three dots."
Prinsloo is not the only celebrity who sports a wedding ring tattoo - Beyonce and Jay Z have matching roman numeral designs on their fingers, while actor Dax Shepard recently revealed an image of a bell to honour his wife Kristen Bell.
