The rage that fills true barbarians cannot be extinguished so long as they live. Fury, a resource that represents pure anger and battle-lust, powers their every terrifying strike.
Fury rises in barbarians as they are damaged, and when they draw their enemies' blood. As barbarians suffer increasing damage from their enemies (and quickly cut them down in response) their Fury builds to a peak.
Excess Fury can be put to explosive use – barbarians can smash and destroy the battlefield, hurl themselves through the air, and split their opponents in two.
Outside of combat, Fury wanes quickly, so adept Barbarians charge from battle to battle to ensure that they can continually deliver devastating attacks.
Barbarians are savage wanderers who never flinch from close-quarters combat. Mighty ground stomps, leaping attacks and dual-wielded slashes leave a barbarian's enemies dead in their boots and send any survivors fleeing for cover.
Thanks to their size and strength, barbarians can dominate a melee with nearly any combination of weapon and approach, though they tend towards massive and imposing weaponry. Barbarians are no strangers to the pains of battle, and often fare better in the midst of several opponents, taking and giving cuts, than when attempting to chase down single targets.
Barbarians' attacks are primarily melee focused. Their quick weapon swings whittle down the number of weaker foes in seconds, while their slower, ground-shaking slams and stomps can send approaching hordes reeling and crack the armor of mightier foes.
For ages, the barbarians dwelling in the shadow of Mount Arreat were shaped to be as strong and unyielding as stone. Immense in size and unmatched in ferocity, they were charged from birth with a duty passed through generations: to protect the sacred mountain.
When their homeland was shattered, many barbarians lost faith. They became aimless, haunted by their past, traveling from place to place without honor or direction.
But not all barbarians have given up their vigil. Some still honor the harsh snows of Arreat's summit and prowl the outskirts of its crater. They recall being handed axes and spears at an age when city children were clinging to their toys… and they burn with shame at the failure of their people.
These barbarians strive to find a new purpose for themselves in a changed world, and they will crush any who stand in their way.
Barbarians are able to make use of weapons in ways that others simply don't possess the strength for. They wield massive weapons – oversized killing devices that more urbane heroes are barely strong enough to lift, let alone swing. Heavily-muscled barbarians can also dual-wield normal weapons like swords and axes, barraging foes with multiple enchantments and weapon types at once.

Althogh my site has approx 300 questions, but my URLs indexed in search engines are more than 1000. This is because of indexing of tags, categories, question pages, activity pages etc. So, Any Q2A user want to block those pages being indexed by search engines. Many similar question to this suggests to use "disallow: /example-page/" in robots.txt.
But, be clear guys, Robots.txt tells search engines to crawl or not and Meta Tags tells search engines to index or not.
If you add disallow to any pages in robots.txt, it won't make your pages being de-indexed by search engines. You should add <meta noindex,nofollow>
I saw many q2a websites but none of them are performing very well in search engines, this is because they index all pages and search engines hate it! I saw many duplicate title and description issues in Google webmaster tools. If this thing resolved (adding meta tags via admin panel or custom function codes) then believe me, there will be more users coming to q2a sites as well as more users to question2answer script.
I hope developers will take this as serious issue
Below is the glance of an article of SEOMOZ regarding robots.txt and meta tags:
There are a few ways to block search engines from accessing a given domain:
Block with Robots.txt
This tells the engines to not crawl the given URL but tells them that they may keep the page in the index and display it in in results. Block with Meta NoIndex This tells engines they can visit but they are not allowed to display the URL in results. (This is the recommended method)

Fast-Food Iced Coffees, McDonald's Brownie Melt, Burger King's Funnel-Cake Sticks
Generally speaking, fast-food joints offer mediocre fare that's neither cheap enough nor nourishing enough to justify the havoc they wreak on their patrons' health. Still, chains do occasionally have genuinely special items on their menus. Wendy's Spicy Chicken Sandwich is well worth risking future infarctions for, Hardee's breakfast biscuits are so good that they don't even need meat, and McDonald's french fries—when they're piping hot and salted properly—outpace any potato chip on the market.
For some reason, though, the major fast-food places suck at dessert. Hardee's and Chick-fil-A both have delicious hand-dipped milkshakes, but McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's, and Sonic all feature shakes and other ice-cream dishes that taste like a conglomeration of milky chemicals, palatable only if the right combination of cookies, candy, and/or whipped cream gets mixed in. (Actually, that isn't entirely fair. McDonald's plain ice-cream cones aren't so bad. And its hot-fudge sundae will do in a pinch.) Still, Burger King and McDonald's in particular keep pitching themselves as ideal spots to hang out, grab a sweet snack, and wash it down with some of their café-quality coffee. So I decided to do as both restaurants suggest, and try out the latest permanent additions to their dessert lineups.
From McDonald's, I ordered up a Brownie Melt, accompanied by two kinds of Frappé: the Mocha and the Caramel. I have to say, first off, that I was surprised by how tasty the Frappés were. I rarely drink coffee any more, so I was glad that the coffee element of both the Mocha and the Caramel Frappé was strong without becoming overpowering. They both tasted like good coffee, not coffee flavoring or some scorched diner brew. Both were also too sweet, though they didn't have the syrupy taste I was expecting. Between the two, I'd give the nod to the Mocha, because the flavor combination tasted more natural. I'm in favor of more restaurants adding caramel to their menus, but the Caramel Frappé was like a sugar-flavored cup of cold sugar. (Also, the Mocha Frappé comes with a hot-fudge drizzle over the whipped cream, and most desserts are improved with a drizzle of hot fudge. In fact, you can keep your fancy desserts and just leave me with a jar of hot fudge and a soup spoon.)
Frankly, if I was in the mood for a cold, creamy beverage, and McDonald's was my only option, I'd order a Frappé before I'd order a shake. The Frappé isn't as icy as I feared it would be, and it actually tastes more like milk than the official McD's milkshake. One caveat, though: both times that I've ordered a Frappé at the drive-thru, I've been asked to pull forward into the little "Congratulations! You've just made the old lady working the beverage station heave a heavy sigh!" parking space. So if you're in a hurry, you may want to make other plans.
As for the Brownie Melt, I have multiple qualms. First off, if you're going to sell a hot confection covered in chocolate sauce, why not go the extra step and offer an à la mode option? I mean, the ice-cream machine is sitting right there! Charge me an extra 50 cents, walk two steps, and yank that nozzle down for a second. Bang: I just increased your profit margin, McDonald's. You're welcome. Yes, I will accept free hot fudge instead of money.
Of course the reason there's no Brownie Melt À La Mode at present is because it wouldn't work with the BM's current packaging: a specially designed square plastic tray, resting inside a cardboard container that sports the slogan "Deliciousness defined!" And that isn't the only unique design element of the Brownie Melt. The brownie itself doesn't follow the expected "dense, rectangular cake" model that brownie-lovers have come to expect. It's more like 16 brownie cubes, stacked together like Legos. (Ever had monkey bread? Picture a smaller, brownie version of that.) Why this odd configuration? Presumably so the dessert will be easier to microwave. Which means, I'm sad to report, that the Brownie Melt does not define deliciousness, unless in your dictionary the definition of "delicious" reads "scorched and rubbery, with an unpleasant sugary grit."
Moving on to Burger King, I treated myself to Funnel Cake Sticks and a cup of Mocha Joe. (As I was ordering, I briefly considered adding a Cupcake Shake, but I couldn't pull the trigger. Maybe next time.) I'm afraid I don't have much positive to say about the Mocha Joe. Everything I feared the McDonald's Frappé would be, the Mocha Joe actually was. The coffee flavor tasted like coffee flavor, not fresh-brewed coffee. And even though the drink wasn't blended with ice, it was almost as thick as the Frappé, and far more syrupy. I'd almost rather drink BK's wretched fountain iced tea than ever sip a Mocha Joe again.
The Funnel Cake Sticks were at least palatable, though that's about the best I can say for them. They resemble actual funnel cakes in that they're crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, and they come dusted with powdered sugar. But they have almost no flavor, and strangely, they aren't greasy enough. There just isn't a lot of funnel-cake fun there. Part of the funnel-cake experience involves pulling apart a twisty hunk of fresh-fried dough. At no point in my funnel-cake-consumin' life have I ever daintily lifted a sliver of dough and dipped it into a container of white icing, as Burger King would have me do. (I know the dessert has the word "cake" in it, but not all cake demands to be iced.) The icing BK provides doesn't even stick to the sticks particularly well. Lift the stick from the icing, and the white stuff drips off the side and onto the fingers, like it's being poured from a pitcher. The only way to keep your fingers icing-free is to treat the product as though it were a plate of spaghetti, and twirl the stick as you lift it quickly to your funnel-cake-hole.
But the truest sign that Burger King's heart isn't in this funnel-cake "dessert?" They recommend you order it for breakfast, too. That's the fast-food mentality in action right there. Dessert? Breakfast? Why distinguish? Serving something special takes a backseat to serving something consumable.

- It's smart.
- It's Swedish.
- It's maybe a little strange.
- It's doctor invented & recommended.
- It's 100% hygienic due to the included filters (4).
- It's fabulously reviewed (Rachel Ray, Parenting, & more).
- It's a nasal aspirator that ACTUALLY WORKS!
- It's NoseFrida. The Snotsucker.
- The disposable filter should be in place to prevent mucus or bacterial transfer.
- Place the large tube against the child's nostril, creating a seal.
- Use the red mouthpiece to SUCK out the snot. TIPS: Move the tube in a circular motion against the nostril – you will hear and see the mucus coming out of the nose. A few drops of saline solution in each nostril will help loosen thick mucus before using Nosefrida.
- To clean, detach all of the pieces, and dispose of the filter. All pieces EXCEPT for the long thin tube should be cleaned with hot water and dish soap (they are also top-rack dishwasher safe).The long thin tube should be cleaned with a few drops of rubbing alcohol and shaken out to dry.
- NoseFrida is not a toy – Potential choking hazard, keep all parts out of reach of children.
- Only use NoseFrida for nasal aspiration.
- Do not blow air into the red mouthpiece while tube is placed at child's nostril.
- Never attached NoseFrida to a machine.
Why is NoseFrida better than other aspirators?
NoseFrida is non-invasive – instead of going inside the nose like the bulb, it forms a seal with the outside of the baby's nostril (creating a vacuum). Parent-powered (mouth) suction is much stronger and more effective than the static suction of the bulb or battery-powered aspirators. NoseFrida is also easy to clean.
Will Nosefrida make me sick?
No. Clinical studies have proven that the hygiene filter prevents mucus and bacterial transfer from child to user.
Can I suck too hard?
No. NoseFrida is safe to use on newborns and preemies. There is no risk of sucking too hard.
Is NoseFrida made of safe materials?
Yes, NoseFrida is made of non-allergenic, latex-free, BPA-free, and phthalate-free polypropylene. It is manufactured in environmentally-conscious Sweden.
I took the tube apart for washing and now it won't stay attached.
The tube must be pushed firmly until you hear it snap into place. There is a groove inside that holds the pieces together.
Does NoseFrida the Snotsucker come with filters?
Yes, it includes 4 filters – 1 pre-loaded and 3 extras

Hello everyone, I am from Wembley, Britain. I want to write this testimony to tell others and thank Dr. Odunga for what he has done for me. The first 12 years of my marriage I had 5 miscarriages and I was called all sorts of names by my mother-in-law and this made my marriage life very hectic and a burden of sorrow. I contacted Dr. Odunga for help and I will say that he is a very strong and honest man and he indeed helped me solve my problem. I saw his email in a testimony and I contacted him, little did I know it would be the end of all my problems. After 2 days of contact, I received a fertility herb and he told me to use it. The herb worked and my husband even loved me more and bought me expensive things. One afternoon, I went to a nearby hospital and came back home with the positive result of my pregnancy and after 9 months I gave birth to a baby boy. Ever since I contacted Dr. Odunga, my story has been different. I have 3 children at present and I am very happy in my marriage. Please, contact him at email@example.com OR Whats App him +2348167159012 to help you too

A 65-year-old man was confronted by a group of women and beaten up in front of his 7-year-old great grandson at a Victorville, California, gas station Friday afternoon in an incident that was caught on camera, officials said.
The altercation occurred around 1 p.m. at the ARCO gas station on the 12000 block of Hesperia Road. The victim, Danny Froschauer, said the fight was over a gas pump.
Froschauer said the women in another other car started yelling "we was going to go there, get your car out of there" after he had already pulled into the desired pump. Froschauer said he refused and that the women then began approaching his car and yelling.
Froschauer said that one of the women then went inside the gas station and put money on that pump.
"She came back out and said, 'ha, now you can't do anything, because I put money on that pump and we're going to use that pump,' and I said 'no you're not,'" Froschauer said. "I thought she was going to come up to my face and argue some more and I'm just standing there, and she got right close to me, and then sucker punched me."
Froschauer said that he tried to knock away their hits by swinging his arms, but that he did not hit the women.
Froschauer's great-grandson Dakota said that one woman who was pregnant even threatened him.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
'I said leave my grandpa alone," Dakota said. "She said, 'shut up little kid, I don't care if you're little or not, I will still push you.'"
Dakota said that he threatened to call police, but that the women then tried to knock his phone from his hand.
"I didn't know like really what to do," Dakota said. "I was kind of scared."
According to Froschauer, one of the women confronted a witness who was recording the incident on his cell phone and tried to take the device from him. One of the women allegedly stole a cellphone during the confrontation, officials said.
Froschauer credits the gas station owner for breaking up the fight. Shortly thereafter, law enforcement arrived on scene.
"I feel real lucky, as violent as they was, I, you know, I've seen women on TV fighting and they kind of smack at each other, but those three punch like a guy," Froschauer said. "I think that they deserve jail time, because if it's not me, they're going to get somebody else…because for no more confrontation than what we had, of the arguing that we had, for them to get violent like they did, they're going to do it somebody else."
San Bernardino County Sheriff's Sgt. Ken Lutz confirmed Friday night that the women in the video had been detained and that the incident was under investigation.
Authorities said Saturday that two women were arrested on suspicion of strong arm robbery and taken to jail. A third woman was not arrested because she is pregnant, but officials said she would be charged at a later time.
Dakota has his own advice for the women involved in this incident.
"Don't be so violent over like a gas pump. It's really just a gas pump and there's other places you could have gone or waited for," the great-grandson said. "Because we didn't pretty much didn't see you pulling and we got there first and you didn't have to be violent."

Archaeologists from Washington University in St. Louis have discovered the tomb of Lady K'abel in the royal Maya city of El Perú-Waka' in northern Petén, Guatemala. Lady K'abel was a seventh-century Maya Holy Snake Lord and is considered one of the great queens of Classic Maya civilization.
Washington University reports:
A small, carved alabaster jar found in the burial chamber caused the archaeologists to conclude the tomb was that of Lady K'abel.
The white jar is carved as a conch shell, with a head and arm of an aged woman emerging from the opening. The depiction of the woman, mature with a lined face and a strand of hair in front of her ear, and four glyphs carved into the jar, point to the jar as belonging to K'abel.
For more information on the excavation and the site of the tomb, check out the news release here, which also contains a link to the full report by the archaeologists on the discovery.
Additionally, Lady K'abel is depicted on Stela 34 of El Perú, located at the Cleveland Art Museum. Her husband, K'inich Bahlam, is depicted on Stela 33.

This past year, there must have been thousands of green-group-inspired news stories hyping risks regarding numerous chemicals. Regulators too have engaged in efforts to demonize various products unfairly, placing them on "concern" lists and demanding that companies expend enormous amounts of money to study, test, and re-study chemicals that have been safely used for decades. Below is my top-ten list of 2012 green alarms along with links to stories that debunk the junk claims.
10. Silly silicone hype and needless regulatory muddling. The U.S. Environmental Protection agency (EPA) wants companies that make silicones to spend tons of money to collect and submit data on trace silicone residue from water released from wastewater treatment plants. But silicones—already well studied and used safely for decades—are largely inert chemicals, posing no significant risks, which makes EPA demands little more than expensive bureaucratic busywork. See Julie Gunlock's excellent review of the issue as well as Jeff Stier's superb analysis. Find more info here.
9. Kitchen Cabinet Fever. Greens want you to believe that dangerous chemicals used to make adhesives found in kitchen cabinets, plywood, and many other construction products will make you sick because they contain formaldehyde. But what's really sickening is their lack of scientific rigor. Check out my blog post on formaldehyde for more information.
8. EPA's All-Wet Lead Paint Rule. The EPA has placed highly unreasonable burdens on small businesses and home owners who want to renovate homes containing lead paint. See my article on Pajamas Media and post on Open Market to learn why this expensive rule won't do anything to improve public health and safety. Also, recommended reading on a related issue is Emily Willingham's analysis on green claims about dangerous levels of lead in Christmas decorations.
7. "Disruptive" Cleaning Supplies. Supposedly, Americans' "obsession" for having sanitary, germ-free homes may well kill us by filling our homes with chemicals that disrupt our hormone systems and impede the development of our children. Now seriously folks, take a look at this fact sheet on endocrine disrupters, and you will see that synthetic chemicals are simply not potent enough to have any such effects!
6. "Obesity-inducing" plastics. If you're cleaning supplies don't disrupt your hormonal system, plastics promise to leach chemicals into our food that will make you fat, so say the greens. Greens even go as far as to suggest that trace chemicals are a significant contributor to the national obesity problem—never mind that people are eating more calories than ever before. See my article on these absurd claims about so-called chemical "obesogens" as well as my blog post related to obesity-related junk-science. And check out Julie Gunlock's eloquent critique as well.
5. "Mischievous" Make-up. Groups claim that the use of chemicals in makeup and other personal care products imperil women's health. In reality, these products are quite useful in ensuring cosmetics are safe to use. See Dana Joel Gattuso's study on the topic as well as her op-ed for more information.
4. "Poisonous" Apples. Every year, the Environmental Working Group issues a "report" condemning healthy foods that have inconsequential amounts of trace-level pesticides, most of which washes off with water. See my op-ed on why moms should feel good—rather than worry—when they give their kids healthy foods like apples.
3. "Killer" Couches. During 2012, the Chicago Tribune began a misinformation smear campaign against some very valuable safety products: flame retardants, particularly those used in furniture. In addition to sloppy reporting, these "journalists" appear to have an ax to grind and may in the end imperil public health by undermining these products. See my blog post on the topic as well as the American Council on Science and Health's excellent study on flame retardants. See also Todd Myer's blog post on Washington State's misguided flame retardant ban.
2. "Toxic" School Supplies. Capitalizing on the back-to-school season in September, anti-chemical activists gained many headlines by issuing a press release and "study" suggesting that moms who buy their children plastic backpacks imperil kids' health. See Julie Gunlock's enlightened piece on this hogwash as well as Jon Entine's superb op-ed on Forbes.com.
And the #1 most absurd, unhelpful and potentially dangerous hyped chemical risk of 2012 … drum roll please ….
1. "Toxic" soup and veggies. What seems to be the environmental activists' favorite villain—the chemical Bisphenol A (BPA) suffered from the most hits. Used to line food containers—such as soup and vegetable cans—and to make hard, clear plastics, greens suggest that BPA is an "endocrine disrupter"—a chemical that affects human hormone systems. Supposedly, it impacts human development starting in the womb and eventually leads to everything from breast cancer, heart disease, obesity, and more. But as IWF scholars have explained many times on the Inkwell and elsewhere, women should be wary of such hype. For a list of stories on BPA, follow this link.

Value Chain Alignment (VCA) has been saved
Value Chain Alignment (VCA)
Transfer pricing
The global economic environment is characterized by continuous improvements in technology, an urgency to adopt and implement best practices and processes, and significant legislative change. Assessing a multinational's global business model is no longer an optional exercise. Value Chain Alignment (VCA) is the process of understanding the demands of operations and of tax law and integrating them into the business model. Deloitte provides high quality, customized tax and Value Chain Alignment (VCA) services that focus on helping multinationals integrate operational and tax requirements in a scalable and sustainable way in order to help business leaders to make effective decisions on an after-tax basis.
Deloitte delivers Value Chain Alignment (VCA) services using the VCA Insight methodology, a set of experience-based approaches to developing solutions to a range of tax issues and opportunities.
The challenge
The alignment of a multinational company's operating model and its global tax objectives is an important step in enhancing corporate profitability and shareholder value.
Business leaders often have to make tough choices when faced with competing priorities such as competitive pressure in the market and the internal desire for growth, regulatory constraints, and increased public scrutiny.
Currently, these challenges are compounded by the uncertainty of a changing landscape, the recent US Tax Reform being a prime example. Another challenge arises by way of OECD's Base Erosion Profit Shift (BEPS) project which is bringing widespread regulatory and treaty changes across many jurisdictions.
Increased public transparency and new compliance obligations will present fundamentally new challenges for multinationals operating across multiple jurisdictions.
The solution
Value Chain Alignment (VCA) is the process of integrating the operating model and global tax structures into the way a business operates. Value Chain Alignment (VCA) is all about creating value through business transformation.
Even if your business has undertaken a Value Chain Alignment (VCA) project in the past, now is the time to re-evaluate your strategy and choices to confirm you will have a sustainable model, that still makes sense in the new reset tax world.
Developing a tax model that is not based on operations runs the risk of curtailing the bottom line, and a business model that does not take tax into account may end up surrendering some or all of the profit it creates.

The following is an article written by a Spanish journalist,
Sebastian Villar Rodriguez.
Europe died in Auschwitz
I was walking along Raval (Barcelona) when all of a sudden I understood that Europe died with Auschwitz. We assassinated 6 million Jews in order to end up bringing in 20 million Muslims!
We burnt in Auschwitz the culture, intelligence and power to create. We burnt the people of the world, the one who is proclaimed the chosen people of God. Because it is the people who gave to humanity the symbolic figures who were capable of changing history (Christ, Marx, Einstein, Freud...) and who is the origin of progress and wellbeing.
We must admit that Europe, by relaxing its borders and giving in under the pretext of tolerance to the values of a fallacious cultural relativism, opened it's doors to 20 million Muslims, often illiterates and fanatics that we could meet, at best, in places such as Raval, the poorest of the nations and of the ghettos, and who are preparing the worst, such as the 9/11 and the Madrid bombing and who are lodged in apartment blocs provided by the social welfare.
We also have exchanged culture with fanaticism, the capacity to create with the will to destroy, the wisdom with the superstition. We have exchanged the transcendental instinct of the Jews, who even under the worst possible conditions have always looked for a better peaceful world, for the suicide bomber. We have exchanged the pride of life for the fanatic obsession of death. Our death and that of our children.
What a grave mistake that we made!!!

AS virtuous men pass mildly away,
And whisper to their souls to go,
Whilst some of their sad friends do say,
"Now his breath goes," and some say, "No."
So let us melt, and make no noise, 5
No tear-floods, nor sigh-tempests move ;
'Twere profanation of our joys
To tell the laity our love.
Moving of th' earth brings harms and fears ;
Men reckon what it did, and meant ; 10
But trepidation of the spheres,
Though greater far, is innocent.
Dull sublunary lovers' love
—Whose soul is sense—cannot admit
Of absence, 'cause it doth remove 15
The thing which elemented it.
But we by a love so much refined,
That ourselves know not what it is,
Inter-assurèd of the mind,
Care less, eyes, lips and hands to miss. 20
Our two souls therefore, which are one,
Though I must go, endure not yet
A breach, but an expansion,
Like gold to aery thinness beat.
If they be two, they are two so 25
As stiff twin compasses are two ;
Thy soul, the fix'd foot, makes no show
To move, but doth, if th' other do.
And though it in the centre sit,
Yet, when the other far doth roam, 30
It leans, and hearkens after it,
And grows erect, as that comes home.
Such wilt thou be to me, who must,
Like th' other foot, obliquely run ;
Thy firmness makes my circle just, 35
And makes me end where I begun.

Learn new pet photography tips.
Explore the process of capturing pet portraits and get advice from pro pet photographers, so you can help every dog (and cat) have its day.
Image by Robyn Arouty
Animal photography 101.
Pet owners love their animals. And that love fuels the exciting, and potentially lucrative, pet photography business. Whether it's a group shot of family members, including the cat, or an animal portrait of a beloved dog, owners want pet photos that go beyond smartphone snaps. But taking great portrait photography has plenty of challenges, including how to get a pet to sit still and look at the camera. The short answer is practice, patience, and creativity — and an abiding love of animals doesn't hurt. With those skills, and some advice from professional pet photographers in your back pocket, you'll be a few steps closer to photo sessions that lead to your best pet shots yet.
Successfully working with furry friends.
While many aspects of portrait and headshot photography — like lighting, use of backdrops, and some basic camera settings — apply to pet photography sessions, the biggest difference is of course the subjects you're working with.
Find ways to gain experience with animals.
"When I'm working with trainers, they don't have to worry that I'm going to freak out the animals," explains Carli Davidson, the author of the dog photography books Shake and Shake Puppies, about her years working in zoos. "Having that background set me up to be a stronger animal photographer because I know how to direct my models in a way that many people don't." Acquiring years of zoo experience might not be viable for every aspiring pet photographer, but building rapport with the animals being photographed is a process you can practice on your own pets or by politely asking dog owners at your local coffee shop.

Get to know your subjects.
Studying animal behavior and learning how each pet reacts to a new environment can help you on a shoot, and your observation skills in the moment will be invaluable. Professional photographer Robyn Arouty supplements her decade of photography experience by building empathetic connections with her subjects. "When the dogs arrive and they're roaming around smelling all the smells, you begin to see certain traits," Arouty explains. "Do they like toys? Do they like treats? What motivates them?"
Be ready to adapt during a photo shoot.
Animals react to stimuli, but each cat or dog is unique. Certain subjects will respond to things that others won't, and none of them will respond the same way every time. "You can make a type of sound only once or twice," Arouty says. "Whether it's a noise from your mouth, your throat, or it's coming from a squeaky toy, by the third time that noise is going to become extinct." Davidson expands on how noise helps with animals: "Learn how to make really weird noises and don't be shy — you usually get only a few reactions per sound." It's all about facilitating interaction and getting the animal's attention. "I tell clients to give the dogs only half their breakfast before bringing them," Davidson says, "so they're a little more food motivated."

Create a comfortable atmosphere.
As with human subjects, the more at ease an animal feels, the better your chances are at getting a great shot. A dog portrait might be easier to achieve, for example, because "they've jumped in a car with you and not ended up at the vet before." Davidson explains. "Cats live in our houses and go in the car only when someone is going to jab them with needles. So they tend to be way more distrustful — which is logical. Getting cats comfortable on a shoot is a much longer protocol." Practice patience and give your subject time. You should be able to get some quality photos, but don't push it. Not all animals respond well to the experience, and stressing out a pet isn't going to ingratiate you to your subject or its owners.

More technical pet photography tips.
Here are a few more things to consider when using animals as the subject matter of your photos.
Use a fast shutter speed.
"Dogs are frenetic — they're always going to be moving around," Davidson explains. "So, knowing your equipment really well is crucial." It's unlikely pets will ever sit as still as human subjects for a portrait, so you almost have to treat sessions with animals as though you're capturing action shots. By using a faster shutter speed you'll be able to freeze motion better to get quality shots before the dog, cat, or any other animal needs to scratch, stretch, or take a lap.
Understand your lighting.
How lighting affects a portrait — or any photo — is a variable all photographers must deal with, but when photographing animals of differing fur colors, it can get more complicated. Fur absorbs light differently than human skin. "Shooting in low light with a dark-colored dog can be a total nightmare, so consider the time of day, amount of shade, and your location," Davidson suggests. If you opt to use a strobe flash instead of natural light, you need to consider your subject's potential reaction. "We've had a lot of dogs with PTSD from Hurricane Harvey come in," Arouty explains. "The flash of light is very frightening for a lot of dogs."

Adjusting your shots in post-processing.
Editing your work can help you pop different elements of your pet photos — especially in instances where you are getting shots of a person with light skin next to a dog with dark fur. Using a process akin to whitening teeth in photos, you can create adjustment layers that will allow you to, for example, brighten a dog's eyes against black fur. You can also edit to remove unwanted elements from a photo, like drool or fur left on a chair. "One of the biggest things that we use Photoshop for is to remove leashes," Arouty explains. "We need to keep the dog in one place and they need to know it's not playtime. So we use a slip lead and Photoshop it out — or my assistant's hand holding a treat in front of the lens."
Pet photography requires you to adapt to many conditions. From learning animal behavior to tackling new lighting challenges, mastering the circumstances and subjects of pet portraits takes time. Practice patience and put in the work and you'll be on your way to high-quality animal images. Next, you might be ready to try your hand at capturing shots of animals outside the studio — explore these tips for photographing animals in the wild and other nature photography.

In order for us to operate our business and provide our services to you, it is sometimes necessary for us to collect or process information about you. In general terms, this information will take one or more of the following forms:
- Information that you provide to us directly, such as in the situation where you complete an online form or send us a message via our website;
- Information that is automatically sent to us by your computer's internet browser when you visit our website, such as your computer's technical address (or 'IP address') or information about which particular internet browser you are using and so on;
- Information about how you use our website or our services, such as which pages you visit, how frequently you visit the site and so forth.
This privacy policy sets out the detail of what information we collect, as well as how that data is used and protected.
We are fully committed to maintaining the privacy of any information ('personal data') that you provide to us. Furthermore, we commit to ensuring that such data is held securely, used appropriately and only retained for as long as is necessary.
Our systems and services are designed with privacy in mind, and we operate a 'data minimisation' principle wherever possible – that is to say that we will only ever ask you for the minimum amount of information required to provide our services efficiently; we have no desire to retain (and therefore maintain) any more information than is necessary. We aspire to comply to the fullest extent possible with applicable data protection regulations, in particular the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation ('GDPR') and ePrivacy Directive, where applicable.
In terms of your use of this website, George's Social Cinema acts in the capacity of Data Controller, and should you have any questions or concerns about the data we hold about you, we can be contacted using the information below:
Data Controller: George's Social Cinema
Email correspondence: email@example.com
When we refer to 'personal data' we mean any information that allows us to identify you personally. Obvious examples include your name, email address, postal address etc. We will always seek to gain your explicit consent to providing this information before we collect it from you, although this may not be the only legal basis on which we collect the data.
Other types of information, such as your computer's 'IP' address or broad geographical location do not, generally, allow us to identify you directly. However, because in their current form, European data privacy regulations are somewhat vague in this regard, we will cover the use of such data here also.
We operate on a strict 'need to know' basis for all data that we work with, and that is particularly true for any personal data. The only people that are granted access to personal data are:
- Staff at George's Social Cinema who provide design and/or support services
We take the security of all personal data very seriously, and that data is protected in a number of ways:
- Access control: access to personal data is strictly limited in line with our policy detailed in the 'who we share data with section' on this page. Access is controlled by individual user accounts, where a strong password policy is enforced
- Dedicated security software: We operate dedicated security scanning and access control software on all of our websites. This software is responsible for limiting login attempts to our site, blocking potentially malicious attempts to access our services, and regularly performing full file system scans.
- Data encryption: where data is stored in a cloud facility (such as the storage of website backup files), that data is encrypted both 'in transit' and 'at rest' – meaning that all data is securely obscured both during the process of transfer to the cloud provider, and then additionally when it is in storage at its final location.
- Selection of third party service providers: we use a very limited number of third party service providers, but some are essential for the provision of physical hosting environments and cloud services. One of the core factors in the selection of such providers is their ability to provide secure systems and processes.
In the situation where you have directly provided personal information to us (such as by completing an online form, buying a ticket, or contacting us for further information), you have a number of rights regarding the personal data that we hold:
- You have the right to obtain from us confirmation about whether any such data is being held;
- You have the right to require that we provide you with whatever data we are holding/processing about you, including the right for that data to be transferred to another data controller;
- Even if you have consented to Us processing your personal data, you have the right to withdraw that permission at any time;
- You have the right to require us to rectify any incomplete or incorrect information held about you;
- You have the right to require us to erase the data held about you (the 'right to be forgotten');
In the situation where we collect personal data automatically (such as from your internet browser or via internet Cookies or other similar technologies):
- You have the right to object to the legal basis upon which we are collecting this data, and We have an obligation to consider and respond to that objection;
- You have the right to request the prevention of further processing of your data while your objection is considered;
- You have the right to make a complaint to the relevant data protection authority (which, in the UK, is the Information Commissioner's Office or 'ICO')
- In most circumstances, you can exercise these rights without paying a fee to us.
When you complete one of the contact forms on our website, we will ask you for a number of pieces of personal information, such as your name and email address. This is obviously required for us to respond to your request.
Consent: In the footer of every page of this website, there is a link to our Privacy Policy (this document) that you may review before submitting your details.
Intent to contract: Additionally, the information that you provide to us here is necessary for us to fulfil your request prior to entering into a contract.
Types of processing
- We will store the information you provide to us in our website database, and/or in our self-managed Customer Relationship Management system. Such storage allows us to efficiently access your data and respond to your requests;
- We may use this information to contact you about other of our own services that we believe may be of genuine interest to you;
- We will NOT use this data for any further purpose without your express further consent;
- We will NEVER sell your information to any third party.
Data minimisation
We will only ask you for the minimum amount of information required to appropriately fulfil your request. This will usually be your name, one or more contact details, and any specific information about your request.
If we do not enter into a further contract or agreement with you, we will retain this data for a maximum of 12 years. If you choose to enter into a service agreement with us, we will retain the data for the length of our ongoing agreement plus a maximum of 12 years.
For some website functionality, we will need to create for you a user account that allows you to login to the site to ensure that only authorised individuals can access your data and that functionality. For example when you make an online ticket purchase via the site. The purpose of these user accounts is to protect your personal data behind login security, and to protect the integrity of our site and the servers that run it.
Data collected will generally involve your name and email address (which doubles as username) as a minimum, but may include your postal address if it is required for online purchases.
Protecting your interests: Website accounts are strictly necessary for the purpose of providing the functionality that you have requested, and we consider that protecting the integrity and security of your data is protecting your interests under the GDPR.
Our Legitimate interest: The protection of your personal data is a vital part of the protection that we apply to your personal data, and to the services that we offer. We consider that it is in our legitimate interest to process your account data to this end.
Types of processing
- We will store the information you provide to us in our website database, as this data is strictly necessary for the website account to function when you visit the site;
- We will NOT use this data for any further purpose without your express further consent;
- We will NEVER sell your information to any third party.
Data minimisation:
We will only ask you for the minimum amount of information required to appropriately fulfil your request. We will only use mandatory/required fields where it is necessary to do so.
We will retain this data for as long as you maintain an active account, plus a maximum of 12 months.
When you visit our website, our systems will log a record of your visit in our server logs, and typically this record will include the technical 'IP' address that is associated with your device and the browser type and version that you are using.
Such server logs are extremely common practice, and are used to monitor technical resources, monitor high-level server activity, and importantly to detect and prevent malicious or fraudulent activity on our systems. This data can also be used, if required, to diagnose reports of technical issues. The storage of IP addresses, allow us to identify patterns of behaviour (such as repeated malicious attempts to access a system).
IP addresses, in and of themselves, do not allow us in any way to identify you as an individual, especially given that it is very common for IP addresses to be dynamically allocated by your service provider, and will therefore often routinely change.
Furthermore, we do not and will not use the content of server access logs to attempt to determine an identifiable individual. We therefore do not consider that data held within server logs falls within the scope of 'personal data', and accordingly we do not seek your consent to collect it.
In the event that such anonymous data is considered to fall within the scope of the applicable data protection regulations, the legal basis for processing such data is:
Our Legitimate interest: The integrity, security and performance of our systems and infrastructure is a vital part of the services that we offer. We consider that it is in our legitimate interest to maintain and protect our systems to this end.
Types of processing
- We will store the information you provide to us in our website server logs
- For the purpose of maintaining the integrity of our systems, we may also store this data in infrastructure backups
- We will NOT use this data to attempt to identify an individual person
Server logs are automatically rotated on our systems, and are retained for a maximum of 12 months following the closure of the relevant log file.

Founded in 1996, The Neon Museum is a non-profit 501 (c) 3 organization dedicated to collecting, preserving, studying and exhibiting iconic Las Vegas signs for educational, historic, arts and cultural enrichment. The Neon Museum campus includes the outdoor exhibition space known as the Neon Boneyard, a visitors' center housed inside the former La Concha Motel lobby and the Neon Boneyard North Gallery which houses additional rescued signs and is available for weddings, special events, photo shoots and educational programs.
Dedicated individuals from the private sector, as well as corporate and government entities, worked collaboratively to promote the preservation of these national treasures as significant pieces of artistic and historical importance. Each sign in The Neon Museum's collection offers a unique story about the personalities who created it, what inspired it, where and when it was made, and the role it played in Las Vegas' distinctive history.
In addition, The Neon Museum collection chronicles changes and trends in sign design and technology through pieces ranging from the 1930s to the present day.
Public education, outreach, research, archival preservation and a grant-funded neon sign survey represent a selection of the Museum's ongoing projects.

The Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster is presented by Automobili Lamborghini at the IAA in Frankfurt, combining the technologies and driving dynamics of the Aventador S with an emotive open air driving experience.
"The new Aventador S Roadster sets new benchmarks in technology and performance on both road and track, with the roadster version adding a new dimension in driving enjoyment," says Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Stefano Domenicali. "The Aventador S Roadster offers the thrill of open air driving without compromising on driving dynamics or the occupants' comfort, and adds a further luxurious dimension through the personalization options available."
The Aventador S Roadster is the only mid-rear engine V12 super sports roadster. Alongside class-leading performance figures, the roadster's unique status is enhanced by multiple color and trim options, including new materials and extensive use of carbon fiber as well as virtually limitless potential through Lamborghini's Ad Personam personalization program.
Air and space – the aerodynamic roadster design
The roadster maintains the unmistakable design of the Aventador S along with unique features reflecting its roadster persona: a combination of distinctive Lamborghini design DNA and the result of extensive aerodynamic testing.
The car's rear sports distinctively different lines to the coupé, giving the roadster its own aerodynamic character. An engine bridge runs from the back window to the rear in a mix of body color and matt black painted carbon fiber engine bonnet blades: a transparent option is also available to show off the V12 engine within.
Sleek, removable, hardtop roof panels, weighing less than six kg, are convexly molded to ensure maximum cabin space for the occupants. Finished in matt black carbon fiber, optional specifications including high gloss black, shiny visible carbon fiber, and further Ad Personam possibilities. An easy fastening system allows the roof panels to be quickly removed and stored in the front trunk.
The rear window is electrically operated at the push of a button for drivers wanting to hear the beat of the V12 powerplant: while closed during roofless driving, the window minimizes cabin noise and airflow.
Color and trim, inside and out
Complementing external colors, five interior configurations are offered, featuring leather and Alcantara in single and bi-color combinations and various stitching and trim choices. Further external and internal packages such as 'branding' and 'carbon fiber' are offered, with the Ad Personam program for clients wanting to customize their Aventador S Roadster even further.
Clients can also select the internal specification of the roof panels: covered in black Alcantara framed by matt black carbon as standard, an optional Carbon Skin package (Lamborghini's high tech fabric that is even lighter than Alcantara) can cover the interior roof panels as well as around the cockpit and parts of the cabin.
The Aventador S Roadster is launched in the Ad Personam Color Blu Aegir, inspired by the peaceful turquoise ocean hiding an indomitable force beneath: sophisticated yet powerful, with extensive use of carbon fiber.
The wing mirrors and windscreen frame are finished in high gloss carbon fiber while the lower part of the car including front and rear bumper, side skirts, air intakes and outlets are in visible carbon fiber.
The configuration internally demonstrates the potential of the Ad Personam program, using Blu Delphinus leather contrasted with Bianco Polar, with Blu Delphinus S-trim stripes on seats, doors and dashboard and even the floor mats in blue and white.
Aventador S Roadster – design and technologies
The Aventador Roadster's 'S' suffix denotes the design and technology advancements of the new model. The Roadster adopts the four-wheel drive, new active suspension, new four-wheel steering system, and the new EGO driving mode introduced on the Aventador S coupé, and with the redevelopment of every aspect of suspension and electronic control systems, its 'total control concept' assures superior drive, ride and performance.
Enhanced lateral control from the new four-wheel steering provides improved agility at low speed and more stability at high speed, combined with Lamborghini Dynamic Steering (LDS) for responsive feedback and sharper turn-in. Improved vertical control comes from updated pushrod suspension, new rear springs and Lamborghini Magneto-rheological Suspension (LMS) with revised kinematics adapted to the new four-wheel steering. A new real-time variable damping system optimizes wheel and body control and balance and ground stiffness is maximized.
A optimized ESC system improves longitudinal control for faster and more precise management of traction control and vehicle dynamics depending on driving mode selected, maximizing grip in all conditions and enhancing handling. The permanent four-wheel drive's calibration allows for the stabilizing effect of the new rear-wheel steering, allowing more torque to the rear axle: when powering off, less torque is shifted to the front axle to allow a sporty but safe drive.
The active rear wing optimizes the car's aerodynamic balance depending on speed and the selected drive mode, and its significantly enhanced overall aerodynamic design improves front downforce by more than 130% over the previous Aventador. With the wing in optimum position the roadster achieves over 50% overall efficiency at high downforce and in low drag more than 400%.
The Aventador S Roadster's four driving modes allows selection of STRADA, SPORT and CORSA and the new EGO mode, each influencing every aspect of the car's behavior through management of traction, steering and suspension. EGO allows the driver to set up his preferred criteria in each mode to suit his driving style.
Accelerating 0-100km/h in just 3.0 seconds, with a top speed equal to the Aventador S coupé of 350 km/h, the Aventador S Roadster weighs just 50 kg more than the coupé. Its 6.5 liter V12 engine outputs the same 740 hp as the coupé, with 690 Nm of torque at 5,500 rpm. The seven-speed lightweight Independent Shifting Rod (ISR) transmission provides robotized gearshifts in up to 50 milliseconds, with carbon ceramic brakes as standard. Dione 20"/21" rims are fitted with Pirelli P Zero tires especially developed for the Aventador S. Inside, the TFT digital dashboard can be customized to the driver's preferences and Apple CarPlay™ is standard.

In case you do not know, both Nicki and Mariah are now sitting on the same panel of judges for the 12th season of reality singing show American Idol. The other two judges are Keith Urban and Randy Jackson.
Image source
How do I know that the rumors are true? Well, the fight between these two divas became so bad that the production of American Idol came to a halt in Charlotte on Tuesday when foul-mouthed Nicki Minaj unleashed a tirade of jabs and curses at Mariah.
Read More > My Top 5 Divas
The proof? Someone actually recorded a video of it and TMZ posted it online. Not sure if it's still available now, but hopefully you can still watch a portion of it below.
It is difficult to hear what Nicki and Mariah said in the video but here's what was translated from one source. I think Nicki mostly drowned out Mariah's voice so we could not really hear what Mariah was saying.
Mariah : B***H!
Nicki : I'm gonna knock you out!
Nicki : Get this s**t in control. Get in control. Get in control.
Randy : Settle down, settle down.
Nicki : Don't lose your head. Don't lose your head (inaudible). Don't tell me I'm a gangster.
Nicki : (inaudible) Every five minutes. So every time you patronize me, I'm a-take it back, and if you've got a f***ing problem, handle it.
Nicki : I told them I'm not f***ing putting up with her f***ing highness over there. Figure it the f**k out.
Mariah : Oh Whyyy?
Nicki : Figure it out.
Mariah : Do I have a 3-year old sitting around me?
Nicki : I'm not gonna sit here every f***ing minute to have you come down and harass me every minute, every day.
Mariah : Listen .... I can't see my kids because you decided to make... to have a little baby fit and going all around the stage.
Nicki : Good, go see them now... go see them now. You're boring as f**k.
WHOA!! This is EPIC!!
And guess what? Poor Keith Urban was sitting in between these two feuding divas. I feel sorry for him! Wonder what will Nicole Kidman (Keith's wife) advise him in such a situation? LOL!
The video was presumably taken right after the two divas started to have a heated disagreement over a contestant's performance. And the exchange of words went so out of control that producers had to shut down the audition for the day even though there were some contestants left!
Judging from the limited exchange of words above, who do you think were at fault? Who started the argument in the first place?
The 4 judges with host, Ryan Seacrest (Image source)
When Mariah was first paid a stunning USD18 million to be a judge on American Idol, she had no idea that Nicki would be joining the show as well. It was reported that she was upset when she heard that Nicki was hired.
Read More > In Praise Of Mariah Carey
No idea what came between them, but two years ago, Mariah actually collaborated with Nicki on a music video for Mariah's song Up Out My Face. Watch it below.
Although I am a huge fan of Mariah, I am not going to side with her based on this limited information. I also happen to like some of Nicki's songs though I think she's more of a rapper than a singer. But, Nicki just simply disappoints me with her foul language and horrible manners. I mean, even if Mariah did say something that hurt her feelings, couldn't she at least show some class?
Oh well, I guess all these feuding might just help American Idol in its ratings. Or it might not. Whatever happens, I can't wait to watch the next season of American Idol!

That was the lament on Twitter of just one poor citizen this week trying to get his tax records in order. Nationwide, hard-working Americans are struggling to meet the April 18 IRS filing deadline. Standing in the way: the bumbling Obamacare bureaucracy.
In Minnesota, an estimated 18,000 people who were on health insurance plans last year offered through MNsure, the state Obamacare health insurance exchange, still haven't received their 1095-A form. It's the "health insurance marketplace statement" required to file accurate tax returns and claim the premium tax credit.
Twin Cities officials blame "technical bugs" and promise they'll be sending more of the documents out next week. But it's small consolation to farmers in Minnesota who were required to file their taxes by March 1.
"This is the second year in a row MNsure has been late sending my 1095-A form and it's cost me extra money when I have to file for an extension on my tax filings," farmer Robert Marg of Winona County, Minnesota, told his local TV station.
In Hawaii, the paper-pushers sent out their 1095-A forms on time -- but the documents are worthless to thousands of taxpayers enrolled in the state's now-defunct Obamacare exchange, the Hawaii Health Connector. According to the Pacific Business News, "approximately 80 percent of the forms sent out to taxpayers" contain errors, including address problems.
The Aloha State is still digging out from the mess the overseers of the bankrupted state exchange made last year, when Hawaii Health Connector staff issued 1095-A forms manually because the bureaucracy did not have a working automated system for creating 1095-As. How many taxpayers were affected? "CMS and IRS have not been able to provide error rates for 2014," PBN reported.
What century is this?
After I reported on my own bizarro 1095-A nightmare last year and revisited the Obamacare tax-time troubles last week in Conservative Review, I gathered yet more horror stories. Citizens trying to get through to the HealthCareGov.com hotline have been trapped in the spiral of "escalation" -- Washington-speak for getting the runaround.
"On the phone with @HealthCareGov for more than an hour. I just want my 1095A or B form. #nomoreescalationsplease," one Obamacare hostage wrote.
"So apparently you have to re-escalate the escalation of the escalation. All to get my 1095A. This is INSANE," another wrote.
One reader detailed for me how she had withdrawn from Covered California, the state's health insurance exchange, in 2014, yet received 1095-A forms two years in a row incorrectly showing that she was enrolled.
Insurer Anthem "said that they called Covered California and reported that I did not have coverage for 2015," the reader told me. "Then 45 days later, we received a corrected 1095. However, it was not corrected. It was the same 1095 we previously received containing the same mistakes. After being on hold for 40 minutes with Covered California, the person I spoke with said, "Yes, I was not covered in 2015, but no one had gone into the system to generate a corrected 1095 and that I will be receiving the new one within 45 days. Unfortunately, that will be after April 15 when I am due to file taxes. What a nightmare."
Yet another reader lamented that D.C. politicians have been deaf to their plight. "Thank you so much for the kindness in responding to me," she wrote after we traded stories. "I am not kidding, I just about cried that a real human being has finally heard me. My husband and I know we are nobodies in the world. He's a small-business owner (a handyman) and I have an online vintage store on Etsy. So no one on the Hill cares about what people like us are going through."
It's always taxpayers who are forced to pay for the incompetence and apathy of their government tormentors.

A pressure sensor is a device commonly used to help with the measurement of pressure for certain gasses and liquids. An IC or integrated circuit is a device used in electronics commonly in the form of a chip on one small flat piece of semiconductor material. Here at RS, we offer three main types of pressure sensor ICs; absolute pressure ICs, differential pressure sensor ICs and gauge sensor ICs.
An absolute pressure sensor IC is an integrated circuit sensor chip which helps us to measure pressure. Normally we discuss gage pressure which is the pressure relative to the atmospheric pressure all around us. These pressure sensors measure the pressure relative to a perfect vacuum. The sensor is normally used to measure any changes in barometric pressure. Barometric pressure is also known as atmospheric pressure. The pressure reading type is absolute.
Differential pressure is the difference between any two measured pressures. Unlike gauge and absolute, differential pressure does not try to fix the reference. The pressure can be increased or decreased at either of the two points.
High range pressure gauge sensors measure the difference in pressure between sources when pressure is applied to atmospheric pressure. A tire pressure gauge is a good example of this type of pressure sensor in a useful application.
