How do you stay positive when your child's behaviors are driving you crazy? This is a tough question. Every parent knows that they have had a point in their lives when they were pushed to yell, scream, or worse because they were so worn down and did not know what else to do. The same cycle seems to happen over and over where your child's emotions and your emotions get out of control. This is something that happens often but doesn't have to.
If you take a step back and start to look at the cycle of what is triggering you and your child, you will be able to better regulate your own emotions. And you will be able to start teaching your child how to regulate his/her own emotions. Positive parenting is about looking for ways to change the situation into a more positive one instead of continuing to punish bad behaviors. You have to start looking at the big picture and do a little detective work.
Figuring out what is triggering your child's bad mood may not be obvious at first but look at the patterns. What time of day does it usually happen, what is your child usually doing, and who is around when it happens? These types of questions help you to get more information about the cycle of behaviors that are happening. Then you can come up with a plan to intervene earlier on before the behaviors are out of control and your child is having a tantrum and you are screaming.
It's also important to factor in your own triggers so that you know when you are getting overwhelmed. You can get better at taking a break and then talking to your child in a more calm and rational manner. This helps the child understand what behavior you don't like and takes away the emotional reaction to your mood.
The key to any new approach in parenting is to plan ahead, practice, and allow for mistakes. Be willing to stick with it even if you don't see results right away. If you have been doing the same type of parenting for years then a new approach won't change things overnight, but it will change things. Positive approaches are very effective and leave you feeling good about what you are teaching your child.

When I was asked to research video cameras for an upcoming office purchase, I was surprised to discover how far DSLR (digital single-lens reflex) cameras have come since the first fully digital SLR camera was introduced by Kodak in 1991. Their 1.3 megapixel DCS-100, was only available to professionals at a cost of $30,000. Over the next nine years, a number of companies began developing their own DSLR cameras. In January of 2000, Fujifilm introduced the FinePix S1 Pro, the first DSLR camera marketed to the non-professional. It was the beginning of the end for the 35 mm market.
Shortly thereafter, Canon, Nikon, Kodak, Olympus, Panasonic and others began releasing DSLR cameras with higher resolution and lower prices. In 2003 Canon's 6.3-megapixel EOS 300D SLR, commonly known as the Digital Rebel was introduced to the consumer market at $999. Other manufacturer's encouraged by its popularity, stepped up production of affordable digital SLR cameras allowing greater numbers of amateur photographers to make DSLR purchases.
More innovation quickly followed. In 2004, as Kodak ceased production of film cameras, Konica Minolta released the Maxxum 7D, the first DSLR camera to include in-body image stabilization. The following year Canon and Nikon unveiled competing full-frame digital SLR cameras priced for consumers.
By 2008, the stage was set for the next big advancement-HD video. Nikon delivered the first HDSLR with the D90, capturing video at 720p24 (1280 x 720 resolution at 24 frames/sec.). Not to be outdone, Canon quickly released the competing EOS 5D Mark II, capturing video at 1080p30(1920 x 1080 resolution at 30 frames/sec.). By 2009, consumer versions of both cameras hit the market. Virtually every DSLR camera produced after that would have HD video capability.
For the professional (and amateur) movie maker there are now a number of HDSLR cameras that can shoot in standard/broadcast compliant resolution and frame rates. This includes the Canon 1D Mark IV, Canon EOS 60D, Canon Rebel T3i and Nikon D5100 among others. For the beginner, Sony, Pentax and Olympus offer entry level HDSLR cameras.
For those wanting something slightly different, Panasonic has developed a Micro 4/3 camera, the Lumix GH2. It looks and operates the same as a DSLR camera with one difference. DSLR cameras use a moveable mirror as part of the image sensor whereas the Lumix GH2 uses a solid state chip. What does that mean? Well, DSLR cameras seem to have the advantage when it comes to still photos, but Micro 4/3 cameras may have better video quality. Also, the GH2 has an important feature DSLR cameras do not- it never overheats.
DSLR cameras can only shoot a video for about 10-12 minutes before they overheat and must be shut off to cool. The GH2 will stay cool and can shoot video until the battery goes dead or it runs out of memory. Here's a great review by Web Video University. Panasonic Lumix GH2 Review
If you are in the market to purchase an HDSLR or Micro 4/3 camera, determine your price range (prices vary widely) and carefully compare features and functionality. Read or watch reviews and join forum discussions to gain insights from the experience of other movie makers. Then buy your camera and go make videos!

One of the many questions we ask our new patients is, "what brought you into the office?" The response we often get is a laundry list of painful problems that they're looking for us to solve. Although no 2 patients are alike, they all have one thing in common: INFLAMMATION!! Inflammation has been historically taught in the context of an acute injury, as in trauma or infection. We now know, without question, that chronic inflammation can rage on for years without swelling, redness and heat, and over time, lead to the development of chronic pain, diabetes, depression, heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer's and most other chronic conditions.
It was about 3 years ago, that I, Dr. Roger, was battling some severe inflammation myself. It started as a dull ache in my shoulder that eventually radiated down my left arm and into my fingers. It got so bad that I literally had no feeling in my left index finger. This pain was disturbing every aspect of my life and wasn't going away despite the fact that I was getting adjusted 3-4 days a week, getting a massage, was stretching daily and eventually went to another chiropractor for spinal decompression. Nothing worked. It was a scary feeling and I was losing hope. That was until I did the 10 Day Detox…
For me, the 10 Day Detox that we offer in the office was life-changing. By day 4 of the detox I regained all of the feeling in my left index finger and by day 10, my energy was through the roof and I had only a slight twinge of pain in my shoulder. Three years later I am still pain-free and have no symptoms or weakness in my left arm and hand because I continue to eliminate as much as possible because I got rid of the following 3 pro-inflammatory foods:
SUGAR! There are at least 57 names for sugar, and manufacturers cleverly disguise sugar within ingredients you wouldn't recognize as sugar. Anything ending in "ose" is sugar. If food labels bewilder you, simply switch to whole, unprocessed foods and you can guarantee you won't get HFCS or other man-made sweeteners. Even though sugar and inflammation serve important functions in our bodies in moderation, the problem arises when we eat too much sugar, which results in too much inflammation. This can happen when we eat a lot of processed foods with added sugar and refined carbohydrates. Examples include soda, juice, and other sugar-sweetened beverages, white bread, white flour, white rice, processed snack foods like cookies, crackers, chips, and desserts like doughnuts, cake, and ice cream. Eating too many foods with added sugar and refined carbohydrates can result in long-term internal inflammation that doesn't serve any useful function in our body and can actually be harmful to our health. Chronic inflammation has been linked to a number of serious illnesses such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and Alzheimer's disease.
Milk is designed by nature to make calves gain weight quickly. And since we are not calves—or even babies any longer—our bodies do not require milk. Contrary to popular belief and advertisement, bone strength does not come from consuming milk and other dairy products but from plant foods. In fact, dairy is a highly inflammatory food for most people. And more processing ("skimming") does not make it any healthier, only more inflammatory.
Refined Wheat Flours have been stripped of their slow-digesting fiber and nutrients, which means your body can break down the foods made from this ingredient very quickly. The more quickly your body digests glucose-containing foods, like these carbs, the faster your blood sugar levels can spike, which also spikes your insulin levels—a compound associated with a pro-inflammatory response. A Journal of Nutrition study found that a diet high in refined grains showed a greater concentration of the inflammatory marker, PAI-1, in the blood. On the other hand, a diet rich in whole grains resulted in a lower concentration of the same marker as well as one of the most well-known inflammatory biomarkers, C-reactive protein (CRP).
If you are looking to improve up your health, rid your body of toxins and reduce your inflammation, the 10 Day Detox is one of the best ways we know to make this happen. Our step-by-step guide is easy to follow and it's only 10 days! For more information please see ask one of the doctors or any of our staff or call our office. We are happy to explain it to you!

Bitcoin Cash's Value, Volume Skyrocket In 72 Hours
It is believed that investors are accumulating BCH in large numbers.
Bitcoin Cash Peaks At $535
Bitcoin Cash's value has now risen by 15% to trade at $535. The price development coincides with a fork scheduled in two weeks time. On Saturday, Bitcoin Cash had soared by 12% to trade at $477. The short time growth is attributed to the biggest fiat brokerage by ABC and Coinbase.
In a statement, Coinbase stated that the BCH network hard fork is behind the development. Coinbase said that they are ready to back the published guideline by BCH.
After peaking at $535 up from $477, Bitcoin Cash's trading volume grew by four times in a short span of just 72 hours. On Thursday, the trading volume of BCH hovered around $200 million by Sunday it stood at $980 million At the moment, Bitcoin Cash's trading volume is close to catching up with Ripple's XRP. XRPs trading volume peaked in the middleof last month when Ripple Labs hinted that they are gearing up for a major deal with a bank.
The deal in question was with Banco Santander. The Spanish bank will deploy XRP as the base crypto for its new banking mobile application. However, the trading volume of XRP has been on a downward trendline since the same time the bitcoin price started declining.
At the moment, traders are acquiring more bitcoin cash so as to reap big returns from the hard fork. We expect to have two chains of Bitcoin Cash when Nchain forks the BCH hard fork slated to be released on November 15. The current holders of Bitcoin Cash will be given an equal amount of the latest bitcoin cash chain.
Previously, the BCH volume was mostly in Asia. However, at the moment, it is made up of buy orders on various exchanges. Some exchanges like Binance have stated that the accumulation of Bitcoin Cash is in preparation for the upcoming hard fork.
On the gain list, some other cryptos have joined Bitcoin Cash. Cardano and Stellar have also recorded gains ranging between 2 to 5%. On the other hand, BAT has begun a free fall since being listed on Coinbase. A review of the market in the last 24 hours shows that the token had lost by 1.5% with an $18 million representing the market volume.
On the positive side, Bitcoin has maintained its value around the $6,350 while Ethereum stands at about $200. The two largest cryptos are expected to remain solid in the next few days.

Hi all. I'm in Western Australia, warm temperate climate. I have hot summers.
I've been looking into slatted racks. Those that have them seem to be satisfied with them, but I can't find any comprehensive studies about them.
I know that the queen will lay closer to the entrance with these racks but I mainly want them for better hive temperature management. Most report that they notice less bearding. But if instead of bees bearding on the outside, they just hang out on the increased space of the rack, out of sight - is there any actual benefit?
My other concern is the increase of nooks and crannies these racks provide for pests such as wax moths to lay eggs.
What are your thoughts? They seem to be very popular overseas, but not here in Australia. In fact, I have to make one as no one stocks them here.

A few days ago I made a prediction. It may not have been the most obscure or unpredictable of predictions, but, nevertheless, it is always good to get some validation from a major magazine – even if it is a tool of the establishment.

The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the connection of devices to the Internet or other connected devices. Cars, kitchen appliances, and even heart monitors can all be connected through the IoT, with this list set to grow even further within the next couple of years.
A wave of automation has already swept most industries, but now it's beginning to spread even further thanks to the emergence of IoT and the concept of smart homes.
With IoT implemented into our homes, we can achieve a number of things that were once only seen as science fiction. From controlling the temperature to playing your favourite playlist whenever you want, and even purchasing tickets for events.
The way in which humans interact with appliances can be changed completely when devices are connected to the internet via servers and sensors, or cloud-based ecosystems. The reason for this being that such devices can access data to predict possible scenarios. An example of this can be seen with home security. IoT can help create a home security system that allows real-time streaming from your CCTV cameras to anywhere in the world, so if an intrusion is detected the owner can be notified wherever they are in the world.
Another area that IoT can help with is energy efficiency in homes. By connecting our devices to smart grids that optimise energy usage, IoT can cut down on energy wastage, saving people money. An example of this can be seen with smart fridges that notify you when certain items in your fridge are low and need re-stocking while you're out shopping. Soon IoT will be able to connect to all appliances, giving you affordable solutions and cost savings.
The way that IoT devices can do these different things around the home is with the integration of If This Then That (IFTTT) modules. These are triggered if a condition is satisfied in the home, for example, "IF" the temperature goes above 40 degrees "THEN" the AC will be turned on automatically.
The IoT doesn't just stop at smart homes, it has its eyes set on much bigger sights. In fact, it is looking to transform the entire urban landscape with smart cities. Smart cities can prevent potential future crises from happening. For example, with a smart meter installed a customer's water usage can be measured, determining when leaks happen and improving leak detection. If this was to be implemented on a city-wide scale and a water crisis happened, IoT powered water metres could enable proper utilisation of water systems and act as a sustainable solution.
From preventing possible mishaps, to scheduling household chores, IoT has the potential to simplify our lives in our homes and beyond. In doing so, it will bring people, processes, and technologies closer to each other, while improving efficiency, fault detection, and devices.

OSLO — Equinor has discovered an oil spill at its storage terminal in the Bahamas in the aftermath of hurricane Dorian, the Norwegian energy company said in a statement on Thursday.
"Our initial aerial assessment of the South Riding Point facility has found that the terminal has sustained damage and oil has been observed on the ground outside of the onshore tanks," Equinor said in a statement.
"It is too early to indicate any volumes. At this point there are no observations of any oil spill at sea," it added. (Reporting by Terje Solsvik, editing by Deepa Babington)

Released: 06.03.19
Parents of dyslexic children are sought by Plymouth Marjon University PhD student Avik Banerjee for a study into the provision of private tutoring for pupils with dyslexia in England.
The study is thought to be the first piece of qualitative research that seeks to explore and provide a detailed picture of the nature and extent of private tuition for dyslexic children in England.
The research will examine the support provided to dyslexic children by their parents in the form of private tutoring. It will look into why and how parents make choices when employing a private tutor.
Avik is seeking parents who have children with dyslexia in years 6, 9 and 11 who undertake private tutoring and would ask them to participate in a semi structured interview, which would be arranged at their convenience.
"I'm keen to learn about parents' experiences of private tutoring for children with dyslexia," said Avik.
He continued: "This is the first academic research looking into the provision of private tutoring of dyslexic pupils in England. I hope later to look into the perspectives of the students and the tutors . I want to use the findings to provide advice and information to families who are affected by dyslexia".
If you are interested in taking part in this research please email Avik on firstname.lastname@example.com.

Last year distributed denial-of-service attacks, also known as DDoS, rose to record levels of not just frequency but also strength, with attack traffic reaching rates as high as 400 Gbps. DDoS attacks are still a popular means of hacking and they're only going to get more sophisticated and hard to detect.
Fortunately the approaches to mitigating attacks have gotten more sophisticated, too. But will the new approaches -- including hybrid combinations of cloud and on-premises defense -- rise to the challenge hackers present?
This three-part guide explores the latest on DDoS and how to strengthen enterprise systems to resist attacks. It includes an analysis of the latest type of DDoS attacks that need to be handled and also covers what network administrators need to do so their own networks aren't used to in a DDoS attack against someone else. Closing down open services will do a lot to reduce the scale of many attacks. In addition, the concept of a mega-DDoS attack is explored, as well as a variety of tools and methods than can help prevent DDoS attacks or minimize the damage when they occur.

365 Days of Robert Pattinson: April 28 ~ Pic Of Rob From Euro Or Sydney WFE Promo
Well I don't know about you but I'm a little bit overwhelmed with those new Rob pics that we got earlier (click HERE if you missed them) and I think you can see from my choice for today that I 'm quite partial to Rob in black.
I'm not sure if I can handle all of this hotness in one day
"This was an excellent promo and the choices are practically endless. i
went with Rob's smile. i loved this sweet moment (happy bday wish) and
his smile makes me melt. the squinty eyes, flushed cheeks, wide grin. so
much win."
"From the UK Premiere of WFE.
What can I say except UNFFFFFFFFFFFF"
"I loved this suit, it seemed to look a different blue in so many photos
and videos of the night, much like Rob's eyes. Forever changing colour.
Rob should wear blue more often, and black, and red, and green…. you
catch my drift!"
And here's a sneak peek of what's in store for us during the month May
Note: May 1st is Fave Robenberg pic
If you post your 365DoR links in the comments, give us time to approve them so the DR can see :)

A blind British bus passenger and her guide dog were told to get off the bus because "guide dogs can't be black" and should instead be yellow labradors.
Megan Taylor, who has suffered from episodic blindness since suffering a head injury when she was 15-years-old, was on the bus in the northwestern English county of Merseyside on Monday (UK Time) when a woman approached her.
- Dog owners using fake assistant dog labels on the rise
- Assistant dog proves life-changing for Christchurch boy
- Dogs give owners gift of mobility
"Why is there a f**king dog on the bus? Get it off," the woman allegedly said, reports Metro.
After Ms Taylor explained her dog, named Rowley, was an assistance dog, she claims the woman called her a liar as "guide dogs are yellow labradors and your dog is black".
Although she explained that guide dogs can be any colour and don't have to be labradors, the woman insisted she was wrong.
"I decided at this point there was nothing I could say to educate this woman and that it wasn't worth my time... I instead chose to ignore her while she continued to talk nonsense," said Ms Taylor.
She said it wasn't the first time she had been abused on public transport.
"On other occasions I have been spat at, stepped over, pushed out of the way and accused of being 'another drunk youth' when losing consciousness due to my heart condition and neurological disorder," she said.
The dog helps Ms Taylor with daily jobs and can even phone for help if she loses consciousness.

Thoroughly wash greens in water. Take 5-10 leaves and roll like a cigar. Cut (almost shave) from tip of roll in very thin strips (1/8 inch strips or less).
Add all ingredients and be sure to chop the walnuts if they are not already chopped. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours in order for apple cider vinegar to "cook" the greens making them tender. Best to sit overnight. Makes 8 generous servings. Leftovers? Try salad as a veggie salad or sandwich topping.
Note that garlic, raisins and walnuts, even the apples are optional. Feel free to add ingredients like dried or fresh tomatoes. This is an inexpensive low calorie family favorite.

'Family Guy' Replaces Brian Griffin With Vinny In Opening Credits
The Dec. 8 episode of 'Family Guy' had yet another devastating surprise in store for fans of the late, great Brian Griffin.
Seth MacFarlane is officially messing with our heads. Despite speculation that Brian Griffin will return from the dead on Family Guy's upcoming Christmas special, the Fox animated comedy did the unthinkable on its Dec. 8 episode: It replaced Brian in the opening credits!
'Family Guy' Opening Credits: Brian's Out, Vinny's In
The first episode since the controversial death of the Griffins' beloved pet, this week's Family Guy opened with the familiar scene of Peter and Lois playing the show's theme song in their living room, a la All In The Family. But when the rest of the Griffins — Chris, Meg and Stewie — entered the frame, dressed in their trademark gold tuxedos, they had a surprise fourth companion: the family's new dog, Vinny!
[hl_youtube src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQmCjG980W4″ link="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQmCjG980W4″ text="Brian Dies On 'Family Guy'"]
Voiced by Sopranos actor Tony Sirico, Vinny was adopted by the Griffins to fill the void left by their deceased pet — and apparently to steal his part in the theme song, too. I'm hoping, more than ever, that Brian makes a Christmas comeback and puts this new guy in his place.
You don't just get that singing part in the theme song; you've got to earn it.
Brian Griffin Returning To 'Family Guy' On Christmas Episode?
Of course, despite Brian's apparent death — and his even-more-tragic replacement in the opening credits — there's still hope for the lovable little atheist.
The Dec. 15 Christmas episode's official description suggests that he could be returning:
Stewie devises a master plan to get the one and only thing he wants for Christmas.
Further proof? At least one future episode in season 12 includes Brian's name in the title, so unless a new Brian mysteriously enters the picture, I'm thinking we haven't seen the last of his snout.
HollywoodLifers, are you mad that Vinny replaced Brian in the opening credits? Drop a comment with your thoughts below.

What an amazing week!
On Monday, at The People's Survival Program, I had the pleasure to facilitate a critical community discussion on the Black Panther Party, and specifically, the People's Free Food Program. In addition to analyzing the accomplishments of the People's Free Food Program, we unpacked the logistics of the program and elements of their ability to serve.

We discussed the importance of amplifying community-based food systems in the effort to combat food insecurity and rejecting neocolonialism. Additionally, we recognized existing efforts toward Black community-based food systems such as Mandela Grocery, and locally, Glut Food.
On Wednesday, at Food Justice: Dialogue & Difference to present on A Holistic Approach to Food Security to discuss the importance of community-led food justice activism.
In the presentation I spoke to several elements of food access and food security, to actions that amplify community-led food justice advocacy, and to several avenues through which access can be responsibly & effectively shared with individuals, groups or communities experiencing food insecurity.
Huge thank you to GMU's Office of Diversity, Inclusion and Multicultural Education and Virginia Student Environmental Coalition for inviting me!

The datacenters need to have constant measurements, optimize their operational processes and have them controlled to be able to face the energy consumption challenge.
With SAIFOR's CUBO solutions we create the containment defining thermal aisles, avoiding the mixture between the hot and cold air, this optimizes the datacenter functions and provides operational and energy savings.
Measure the datacenter energy, be efficient.
The energy consumption has to be controlled, that is why constant measurement should be taken that allow us checking the operational efficiency of the infrastructure and the equipments.
We can only control and improve the things that we can measure, that is why we have to check the equipments and infrastructure energy consumptions values constantly, comparing them with the one taken before, this will allow us to prove the efficiency and to be able to apply the necessary actions.
One way to optimize the consumption and have a perfect energy distribution is by using our intelligent PDUs with Sentry energy Management System.

• Reduce installation space.
• Possible to be connected with the infrastructure BMS.
• Remote accesses to the containment.
• Easy installation and maintenance.
• Manual hinged doors for reduced spaces where it is not
possible to install a double sliding door.
• It is usually fixed on a wall or on the side of the rack.
Standard Roof Systems
Panel roof system, modular and scalable, which allows an optimal control of the airflows inside the aisle, avoiding the mixing of the hot and cold air. This system allows sensors, detectors, alarms or extinction system inside the aisle. Available for different aisle widths. Adaptable to be used in retrofitting projects.
Emergency Roof Panels Opening System
This system is completely automatic; it is activated in case of incidences inside the datacenter. In case of emergency the panels open automatically allowing the pass of the water or gas inside the containment. This solution it is not necessary to modify the sprinklers extinction systems inside the datacenter.
This system incorporates an electromagnetic lock that allows connecting directly with the infrastructure BMS system, activating automatically when there is an incidence. The central section of this roof system has a deflection design that opens the panels 105° allowing the water and gas to get into the containment, making easier to clean and maintenance the panels, because when they are open there is a total access to the roof. The roof also includes a longitudinal and transverse cable duct to manage the cabling between aisles. This system is combined with SAIFOR automatic doors opening solutions, is the perfect solution to face any possible incidence in the datacenter. Available for different aisle widths. Adaptable to any retrofit project. Patented Product No.201230191
Roof System With Cable Duct
With the same characteristic as the previous one, this system includes a longitudinal and transverse duct system, which improves the right cabling between the aisles in the containment. The access to the cabling can be done from inside of the aisle o from the top of containment, facilitating the maintenance tasks in the datacenter
Modular and scalable system.
Easy to install and maintenance.
Complete closing of the aisle, avoiding airflows losses or the unwanted mixture of air.
The panels are adapted to the length and width of the installation.
Multiple configuration modules that combine the width of the panels with the width of the racks.
Transverse and longitudinal cable duct management options for Roofs.
Active (automatic opening) or passive roof systems (fixed).
Allow extracting one or more racks without dismounting the structure.
Combined with SAIFOR's automatic doors opening system, allow that in case of emergency the opening of them will be at the same time as the roof panels.
Admit the installation of different security systems like sensors, detectors, alarms, etc…
Electromagnetic closing that allows a direct communication with the BMS or the alarm system to activate the system.
These upper ducts have been designed to support high
density of cabling, installing two different modules,
improving the management of great amount of cables or
separating the data and energy cabling.
The transverse and longitudinal configurations, improve
the communication of cabling between the row of racks
and the different aisles of the installation.
They also incorporate a communication system specially
designed for the access of cabling to the racks, once
they are in, they can be guided through a vertical duct
system specially manufactured for SAIFOR's racks.
Their design allows that they can be installed in the
production plant reducing drastically the installation
costs in the infrastructure.
A wide range of accessories is available for this system,
being adaptable to any infrastructure in the room.
Adaptable to retrofitting project.
Saifor proudly presents "CUBOX PLUS SYSTEM" CPS, the solution for those data centers where flexibility, prevision and profitability are a prerequisite;
CPS where flexibility and profitability go hand in hand. It allows to add new racks of different sizes, measures and even from different manufacturers.
The CPS is an ultra-modular and cost-efficient, free standing aisle containment system. lt offers the possibility of adding racks according to the customer needs keeping options for separating warm and cold air flows in an energy efficient manner, which allows monitoring investment in racks according to demand and need over time.
on that minimizes the initial investment costs (CAPEX).
CUBOX PLUS SYSTEM offers the same energy efficiency as a traditional thermal aisle containment system.
CPS is made from an ingenious aluminum support structure, highly modular and flexible, which allows to create any configuration.
Aisle containment doors and roof system are the same as those used in a traditional CUBO closed system and with all its variants: sliding doors; manual or automatic, system roofs; fixed or folding (emergency), central lighting, placement areas for sensors and wiring.
Racks of different types, heights, widths and depths can be incorporated into the CPS structure, therefore clients have the freedom to customize the system depending on their needs.
CUBOX PLUS SYSTEM is the growing continent of your data center, a flexible, cost-effective and the definitive solution that minimizes the initial investment costs (CAPEX).
The retrofit solutions try to reduce the energy consumed by cooling, raising the temperature in the room, and at same time to prolong the useful life of the equipments together with a reduction of maintenance costs. In order to get this, the main solution is the physical separation of the hot and cold air.
SAIFOR offers a highly modular system, with a high degree of customization that allows closing the hot and cold aisles, even with products that are not from SAIFOR, and without interrupting the regular performance of the datacenter.
Knowing that every retrofitting project is unique, SAIFOR has a highly qualified team with a wide experience in custom-made retrofitting to get the maximum efficient of the existing installation, foreseen a future expansion and adjust the budget to the maximum.
One of the advantages of SAIFOR as a manufacturer with engineering, a production plant and its own product, is the guarantee to a good performance, because we ensure the perfect integration of our solutions, combined with CUBO solutions, our highly precise cooling units to those facilities where high density is required, and also the cable management solutions and power cabling.
Improve the electrical equipment. With the installation of new equipments, we will obtain two great advantages: less energy loss and less heat to eliminate. The efficiency that we reach will depend of the time of use of the old equipments and the efficiency can go from 10-60% of the annual turnover.
Optimize the cooling solutions. This recommendation is the best option to minimize annual costs in the datacenter, with small changes it is possible to get a 40% costs deduction from cooling. For those servers which need direct cooling, the best way is to put the cooling close to the hot spot and avoid the mixture between the hot and cold air.
Optimize the airflow systems, which are passives by nature, to control them we have to avoid the mixture between the airflows using technology solutions with variable speed fans, like HDC and MDC cooling units from SAIFOR.
Refrigerate, in some cases having an optimized structure allows that one or more CRAC can be turned off completely o can be in stand by mode.
While doing retrofitting, 100% of the operation of the equipment is kept, the energy consumption is reduced, the ROI is improved and the efficiency is optimised in the datacenter.

For initial start with 1KA, there is an information available for beginners and for advanced users.
The 1KA application can be installed on the 1KA server or on the user's server.
There is also more information on all possible ways of using 1KA.
Please enter your email address with which you are logged in and we will send you a password recovery link.
We will use and store the e-mail address to register on our website for the purpose of using the 1KA username and we will carefully protect it according to the regulations.
This site uses cookies to improve user experience for logged in users. (Cookie policy).
To activate your new password, please enter the data provided in e-mail you received.
If you still have problems finding our confirmation e-mail, you can contact us by e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
You won't be able to login into this webpage until you confirm your registration through e-mail!
If you have carried out a survey using face-to-face field surveying, online surveying in other tools (i.e. not via the 1KA web survey), but you wish to merge your survey data, you can add the external data to the 1KA data in the 'DATA' – 'Import' – 'Add data' tab.
If the variable does not exist yet, you must first create a new question of the appropriate type in the 'EDIT' - 'Questionnaire' tab and then insert the additional data into the list. You must separate each unit (row) of an individual variable with a comma. You can also import additional data from a file (e.g. Excel). It is important that the variables are listed in the correct order.
With the 'radio button' type of variables (only one answer is possible), you first check which answer values you have in the survey and then add them as numerical values. For instance, if the available answers are: "apple", "banana", "pineapple", their successive numerical values are 1, 2, 3, and have to be entered in such a way as data.
On the other hand, if you have the 'checkbox' type of variables (multiple possible answers), check what values the answers have (e.g. Q2a, Q2b,...) and insert the data into the database in such a way. Since there are multiple answers available, you need to be careful not to separate them with a comma, but rather with a space. If you separate them with a comma, the system will identify it as an answer to another variable.
For the exercise, you can use the prepared survey in the Public library tab (survey library - 1KA examples of questionnaires - 1KA questionnaires - example of adding data) and copy it (by clicking the 'Copy survey' on the right side of the screen). When you have a survey, you need a data file, which you can download to your computer HERE.
Open this file and delete the first row with the names of the variables - that is intended only to remind you that the columns in Excel must be sorted in the same way as the 1KA questions. After deleting the first line, save the file, and then follow the instructions/steps to add data, that are in the 'Import' - 'Add data' tab.

The non-partisan Legislative Fiscal Bureau (LFB) has released its annual memo outlining state general aids paid to public school districts.
The LFB memo, entitled 2018-19 General School Aids for All School Districts, provides information on each district's aid membership, equalized value per member, shared cost per member, and equalization aid eligibility. In addition, the memo details the amount deducted from each public school district's aid allocation to pay per pupil amounts to independent charter schools authorized by the City of Milwaukee, UW-Milwaukee, and UW-Parkside under s. 118.40 (2r), Wis. Stats. According to the memo, a total of $4,656.8 million will be paid in 2018-19 for general school aids, with $4,594.6 million of that total paid out as general equalization aid.
An attachment to the memo shows the amounts of high poverty aid paid to the 68 districts that receive this aid. To receive high poverty aid a district must have more than 50 percent of its third Friday in September membership count eligible for a free or reduced-price lunch in the national school lunch program. Because high poverty aid must be used to offset property taxes that would otherwise be levied by the school districts that receive this aid, it is considered a form of general school aids.
The memo does not include information on per pupil categorical aid payments as these are not considered general aids and are provided outside the revenue limits the same as other categorical aids.

Traveling exhibit on German POWs to visit Middletown on Wednesday
A little known fact of World War II is that 380,000 German POWs were held in U.S. Army-operated camps in almost all of the 48 states during World War II. They were sent out to harvest or process crops, build roads and waterways, fell trees, roof barns, erect silos, work in light non-military industry, lay city sewers and construct tract housing, wash U.S. Army laundry, and do other practical wartime tasks. Some secretly dated local girls and even took correspondence courses for which they would gain credit. Some of these POWs chose to stay in the United States after the war.
The Middlesex County Historical Society and Russell Library will host the traveling exhibit Held on the Homefront: German POWs in the United States, 1943-46 by the non-profit group TRACES on Wednesday, May 4. The BUS-eum, which will be parked in front of the Mansfield House, will be open from 1 to 7 p.m. for the public to view the exhibit. The exhibit consists of 15 narrative display panels illustrated with photographs and documents, audio and DVD documentaries, artifacts and more inside a 40-foot long converted bus.
Held on the Homefront explores the human context of the POW experiences. Five major areas are covered in the exhibit: the treatment of the POWs and how that has affected the standing of the United States both in Europe and the world at large; in what contexts and settings the German POWs encountered Americans and whether the encounters were positive or negative; the role of art in the POW's experience; the changing perceptions of the United States by the POWs; and the affect of the POW experience on German-American relations.
TRACES is a non-profit educational organization created to gather, preserve and present stories of people from the Midwest and Germany or Austria who encountered each other during World War II. The BUS-eum has been touring the United States since 2009. This program is free and open to the public. For more information contact the Historical Society at (860) 346-0746.

At Beths Grammar we have plenty of good news that we wish to share with you. Below are some of the exciting things that have happened so far.
OAP Afternoon Tea
On Monday 10 December 2018, Beths hosted a community Christmas afternoon tea. Fifty six retired and semi-retired members of our local community came to enjoy some festive food, warm drinks and entertainment by our students. Mrs Marriott organised a fantastic array of musical performances; one by the percussion group, another by our acapella singers and the last by the Big Band.
Guests were delighted with their gifts of a homemade card, signed by Mr Blyghton and a little box of chocolate treats as well as conversation with our Year 10 helpers. Many also walked away with prizes – local businesses, really excited by the event, had donated towards a complimentary raffle. Prizes ranged from boxes of chocolates to meals in restaurants. Thank you to Sainsbury's, Punjab Curry and Grill, Toby Carvery and The Jasmine in Bexleyheath and Melucci's in Bexley for their very kind donations.
THANK YOU to everyone involved in making it such a success.
The next afternoon tea will be held on Monday 4 February and will be themed around Chinese New Year. We hope to see you there.
Please check out our social media pages for photographs of the event!
'Boy of the Term' and 'General Excellence' Awards for Year 10
In the Year 10 assembly on Wednesday 5th December we awarded certificates and prizes to our top students, in recognition of their outstanding attitude to learning and quality of homework in the recent reports.
In total, 26 students were awarded 'General Excellence Awards' for producing top quality reports which document their outstanding commitment to their studies since their return to school in September.
In addition to this, we also awarded the 'Boy of the Term' awards to three students who achieved all '1' grades in every subject for attitude to learning and quality of homework – Outstanding in every single subject! Brilliant work this term and no doubt they will be working even harder to maintain these top position.
Conversation has already started about who will be receiving the next batch of Honours Ties – things are heating up!
The photo shows KJ, Musa and Adrian with their 'Boy of the Term' certificates. They clearly seemed delighted with their achievement - well done!

Well done to all the students and staff who managed to put together 74 shoe boxes for the Operation Christmas Child Appeal (Samaritans Purse International Charity).

Young Leader's Presentation at Lords written by O Meggs
On 8 October all of the young leaders who took part in the programme over the past year visited Lords, the most prestigious cricket ground in the world.
When we arrived we sat down in the presentation hall and waited for the proceedings to begin. We began by going on a tour around the ground. During the tour, we were shown round the Lords Museum of cricket. Within this museum was the Ashes, a trophy that is given to the winner of either England or Australia in the competition. We then travelled to the home side's changing room, where many legends including, Jimmy Anderson and Ian Botham, have used. As the tour came to an end, our last stop was the media centre, which I was told had won an award for architecture in 2015.
When we finished the tour we all congregated in the hall and waited for the presentation to begin. It began with a Sky Sports presenter interviewing a few of us young leaders, which included some of our students from Beths. During our interview, we were asked questions like, how much did you raise, what courses did you complete and how have these helped you? After this the presenter got Kent cricketer Harry Podmore up on stage and held a question and answer with the Kent fast bowler. After this it was time for our awards. If we completed all of the courses we would all receive six certificates in total. We then found out who had raised the most money, the top three amounts of money raised were ALL Beths students. To round off the great evening there was a raffle and one of the great prizes was won by a Beths.
Capita Cup
Following his outstanding work commitment during his work experience placement in July, Callan received the Capita Cup this morning during assembly.
Callan undertook a two week placement at 'Unite the Union' within the Legal Department. He helped produce a document which outlined the process the 'Union' will adopt under the new GAP regulations when they receive a request from a member to have their records deleted. This was a big project and Callan showed a good understanding of what needed to happen and was able to organise the various elements to produce the document. This document has now been adopted by the 'Unite GDPR' team and will be applied to all data erasure requests, going forward.
Callan made a very good impression during his placement with everyone who had contact with him, finding him very helpful, polite and wasn't afraid to ask questions. He familiarised himself with his environment and worked on a variety of tasks, some of which involved using 'Unite's' very complex membership system. Callan also attended Unite's National Conference in Brighton and manned the Legal Stand which was one of the busiest in the exhibition hall. He performed this task diligently, being courteous to visitors and ensuring that the stand was tidy and well-stocked with literature. He was able to work unsupervised and showed initiative by undertaking work without being asked.
Well done to a well-deserved winner.
Senior School Boys receive Honours Ties
On the first Key Stage 4 Senior School assembly of this term we were delighted to award the first ever batch of "Honours Ties" to 31 boys in both Year 10 and Year 11. Honours Ties have been introduced as a new addition to our rewards policy. The Ties are awarded to boys who have demonstrated a sustained and significant commitment to serving the school and/or wider community. It is recognition of exceptional academic scholarship, outstanding contribution to the life of the school and clear endorsement of the school values.
At Beths Grammar School academic expectations are central to our purpose. We strive to ensure that talent is nurtured and learning is valued. At Beths, challenge is welcomed, participation is expected and achievement is prized and celebrated. We are committed to educating well-rounded individuals who embody our core values of Excellence, Community, Respect and Nurture. We are aware that a large number of our boys demonstrate not only exceptional behaviour in and outside of school but also exceptional attitude to their studies and the wider life of the school. We are also extremely proud of the natural leadership skills our boys develop as they move up through the school and subsequently become excellent role models and mentors for our younger students.
An Honours Tie is reserved for Senior School boys and it will replace the boy's current house tie. The tie is navy and gold and is gifted to the student along with a certificate. Boys who are eligible for an Honours Tie will be determined by the awards panel which will be made up of Deputy Headteacher and the Head of Year. They will consider carefully that;
- The achievement reflects the long term commitment to and success of the students' academic studies and wider school activities.
- The achievement brings honour to the school
- The student is abiding by the school rules and behaving in line with expectations.
The boys who received these ties were delighted with their achievement and it is safe to say that the new honours tie is the latest fashion statement every Beths boy wants to be seen wearing! We look forward to awarding more Honours Ties as the year progresses.

Blue nose Pitbull terriers are actually a popular color variation found in Pitbull Terriers and aren't a breed in their own. These dogs are so popular all over the globe that they're even being sold at a premium cost!
But, what's this obsession with color all about?
In this blog post, we will go through everything you need to know about this dog, including some awesome blue nose Pitbull facts.
So, let's get to know more about this doggy, shall we?

A Peek Through Time: Blue Nose Pitbull Terrier
One of the most common misconceptions that dog lovers from all over the world have is that they believe the Blue nose Pitbull is a breed of its own.
That simply isn't true.
The breed is actually a statistically rare color variation of the much-loved Pitbull Terrier.
Did you know that the American Pitbull actually originates from England?
Pitbulls gave a dark history. These dogs were bred to participate in bloodsport like bull baiting, bear baiting, etc. With time, these sports were declared to be illegal so, Pitbulls were then, fought among themselves until that became illegal as well.
This is why Pitbulls are strongly built and ready for combat.
No wonder why the breed has such a bad reputation, right?
When talking strictly about their looks, Pitbull Terriers are physically intimidating. That, coupled with the fact that these dogs have a tendency to be aggressive is why they're banned from most dog-friendly hotels and beaches.
Their genetic heritage can be a challenge for their owner.
This is why these dogs need a strong-willed owner who can discipline them when needed. If these dogs are raised by weak-willed or aggressive owners, their bad behaviors would be encouraged which is a recipe for disaster.
These dogs make excellent pets when raised right.
When the Bulldog was mated with the Terrier, we got the American Pitbull Terrier!
As mentioned earlier, the Blue nose Pitbull Terrier is a color variation. This dog has a tendency to please his master and is loyal.
When provided with a loving and positive environment, these dogs thrive and show their unique personality. In fact, Blue nose Pitbulls make excellent family dogs and are loving and loyal to their core.
You get a Blue Nose Pitbull puppy when two Blue nose Pitbulls are mated.
This dog owes its blue-gray color to a recessive gene carried by both of its parents that expressed itself. One in four Pitbulls have this mutation that doesn't allow black pigmentation to be passed down.
So, having a Blue nose Pitbull puppy can happen only if both the parents carry the recessive gene.
That's why these dogs are statistically rare.
Let's Talk About the Blue Nose Pitbull's Personality
Knowing about a dog's personality and temperament is essential if you're planning on bringing one home.
Since Blue Nose Pitbulls are a color variation, their personality and temperament is similar to that of the American Pitbull Terrier.
But, there are subtle differences that owners have noted.
Let's take a peek.
According to Blue nose Pitbull owners, these dogs have some unique temperamental traits. Some owners claim that their dogs are easier to train and more intelligent. These dogs also have a sweet and gentle nature with, in itself, is rare in Pitbulls given their bloody past.
So, is the color of the dog and temperament controlled by the same gene?
That's something that we don't know yet.
Here are some differences that Blue nose Pitbulls have in terms of personality and temperament:
- They are docile
- Blue nose Pitbull puppies are easier to train and highly intelligent
- These dogs are affectionate and loving
- The dogs are excellent with humans and other pets at home
- Blue nose Pitbull puppies are awesome with kids
- They're highly protective and loyal
One of the best things about having a Blue nose Pitbull is that you know for a fact that your dog will protect you till his last breath. That's something their bloody history has proved so far.
These dogs get aggressive because of fear of the unknown.
Moving on…
Blue Nose Pitbull Facts You Should Know!
Blue nose Pitbulls are clouded with mystery because they're so rare in number which is why there are a lot of myths surrounding this breed. In this section of the blog, I will share some of the most important blue nose Pitbull facts you should know.
Let's get right to business!
They needn't have a blue nose
What's a blue nose Pitbull without a Blue nose?
Well, it is still a blue nose Pitbull.
Confusing, right?
I get it…
Even if the dog doesn't sport a blue nose, it is still categorized as a blue nose Pitbull. In fact, some of these dogs may have an incomplete blue nose or even a red nose! A few kennels also breed blue nose Pitbulls without a blue nose for a profit!
It's all good.
However, if the Pitbull doesn't sport the blue nose it's still considered and referred to as a Blue Pitbull.
We really don't know why blue nose Pitbulls are born without an actual blue nose. That's how nature works, I guess. But, this doesn't mean that the pups are , in any way, imperfect!
They have different coloring because of their genetic makeup
Having a blue nose is a bit odd, right?
It makes people wonder why these Pitbulls have the bluish hue in the first place.
Blue Nose Pitbull Terriers have blue-gray coloring on their skin, eyes, toenails, and noses while the Red Nose Pitbulls sport an amber undertone to their skin, eyes, toenails, and noses.
That's a bit odd, right?
The reason why these dogs have the rare color is because both of their parents carry the recessive gene responsible for the unique coloring. This can happen when both the parents have the rare coat or even if they are regular Pitbulls.
But, both the parents must carry the recessive gene.
This is why these dogs are so rare.
The above-mentioned gene actually reduces the production of melanin which is also present in humans. Melanin provides color to the dog's skin and also determines the color of the skin.
These dogs aren't a sub-breed
Most people think that Blue Nose Pitbulls are a sub breed of the American Pitbull Terrier. That simply isn't the case. These dogs are popular because they have unique coloring. Breeders try to produce more of these puppies because they're highly in demand.
Also, they capitalize on the rarity of these dogs and sell them for a premium.
As we've mentioned before, these dogs aren't a different breed or sub breed. Their unique coloring is owed to the fact that they're been passed down a recessive gene.
People commonly believe that Blue Nose Pitbulls have a different bloodline. That is not something you should believe at all and any breeder who tries to convince you otherwise is manipulating you to earn a hefty profit.
There are a few diseases that affect these dogs
Like all animals on the planet, Pitbulls are also prone to getting sick. All dog breeds are genetically predisposed to getting certain diseases. With Blue Nose Pitbulls, following are some common diseases:
- Allergies
- Alopecia
- Cataracts
- Heart diseases
- Immune disorders
- Mange
- Neurological disorders
The Blue Nose Pitbull is prone to getting diseases because the breeds resort to inbreeding the dogs. While this practise does increase the chances of getting a Blue nose Pitbull puppy, it also increases the chances of them getting hereditary diseases.
However, this isn't the case with all blue nose Pitbulls.
Naturally-occuring blue nose puppies are just as resilient to disease as others.
A healthy diet and lifestyle is essential to ensure that your dog is healthy and free of diseases. This significantly reduces the chances of your dog getting a disease and increases recovery time.
These dogs have an unwarranted bad boy reputation
There are rumors that the Blue Nose Pitbull is a dangerous and aggressive dog.
This isn't really true.
As we discussed earlier, there is truth in the fact that American Pitbull Terriers as well as Blue Nose Pitbulls do have an aggressive and bloody ancestry because they were used in blood sports like bull baiting and bear baiting, that's in the past.
In modern times, the animal cruelty laws and acts have made such malicious sports illegal which means that Pitbulls aren't trained and bred to be aggressive. These dogs now make great companions and need a strict trainer.
However, these dogs still do have a tendency to be aggressive.
But, with the right training and socialization, you can easily overcome this hurdle and train your Blue nose Pitbull to be well-behaved and loving.
They're quite active and lively
One of the most important things you need to know before getting a dog is the amount of exercise and activity it needs on a daily basis.
Dogs that are generally more active need an owner who is active so that their energies are channeled right and that they don't develop aggressive and destructive behavior patterns such as digging holes, chewing, etc.
Blue Nose Pitbull is quite active and lively.
These dogs need a lot of activity, exercise, and playtime. The breed was historically developed to be an active and physically fit one. These dogs thrive on long walks, hiking trips, etc.
You'll need to take your Blue Nose Pitbull puppy on a walk at least once a day.
Not just that, these dogs love to enjoy the bounties nature without any restrictions and need to be taken off the leash so that they can explore independently. However, keep in mind that your dog needs proper training before you consider taking him off the leash.
If your dog lacks the proper and essential exercise he needs, his body and mind are both affected negatively. This means that the dog can start to develop some bad behaviors.
Not just that, the lack of activity alse means that your Blue nose Pitbull might get lethargic, overweight, or lazy.
That just invites the diseases in.
They don't make excellent watchdogs
If you're looking for the best watchdog then, the Blue nose Pitbull is certainly not what you should go with.
While these dogs are built to be physically intimidating and have a tendency to be aggressive, people believe that they would be excellent guard dogs.
That isn't always right.
Blue nose Pitbulls are loyal to their core but they aren't really protective enough to make great guard dogs. In fact, contrary to popular belief, these dogs are friendly in nature and go along well with strangers—and even intruders.
You can train your dog to be cautious to strangers.
However, you just can't train a dog to become a great watchdogs. The blue nose Pitbull was just not made for that.
You can train your Pitbull to bark at people that he doesn't know too well. However, your dog will only learn this skill if he's taught this during puppyhood with proper training, of course.
Moving on.
These dogs are full of energy and need an active human companion
Most Blue Nose Pitbulls have compared their pets to bunnies because these dogs love to jump around and hop!
Yes, you read that right.
Pitbulls are what you might call jumpers. These dogs love to jump often and can even jump really high. This may all sound fun and games to you until you realise the havoc that it can wreak!
Blue nose Pitbulls can break stuff unintentionally.
Even some expensive items.
The only way you can ensure that your dog doesn't leave your house looking like a storm just came in is to ensure that you take care of your dog's exercise needs. So, you'll need to take your dog out on runs, to the park, and introduce a lot of playtime.
Also, training your dog not to jump will help.
However, it can be tricky to teach your dog not to jump and, in most cases, you'll have to hire a professional to teach the same.
Here are some treats that we recommend for training your Blue nose Pitbull:
- BLUE Wilderness Grain Free Biscuits Crunchy Dog Treats
- Milo's Kitchen Chicken Meatballs Dog Treats
- Natural Balance Limited Ingredient Dog Treats
Moving on.
They're awesome with kids and other pets
Did you know that Blue nose Pitbulls are excellent with kids?
These dogs really enjoy their time with children and are patient as well as gentle with them.
And, there are a lot of videos on the internet to prove the same!
Blue nose Pitbulls are emotionally expressive dogs and enjoy their playtime a lot. These dogs are also kind, gentle, and friendly towards strangers and even intruders.
That's polar opposite from what most people think of the breed!
One of the most important things for you is to take care of your Blue nose Pitbull's emotional needs by spending some quality family time with him. These dogs thrive on affection and attention. Once you meet his needs, your dog is bound to feel fulfilled and happy.
They sweat
Dogs? Sweating?
You might be thinking that I'm crazy to mention this because dogs don't generally sweat, right?
That's a story for another day but, they do.
In fact, Blue nose Pitbulls often sweat quite heavily. This is because these dogs are highly active. This can be a smelly situation.
The silver lining is the fact that Pitbulls enjoy their bath times and love them!
This is something that most dog breeds dislike.
Here are some dog shampoos that we recommend for your Blue Nose Pitbull:
- Furminator deShedding Ultra Premium Dog Shampoo
- New All Natural Oatmeal Dog Shampoo
- Pro Pet Works Natural Oatmeal Dog Shampoo + Conditioner
All you need to do after giving your dog a bath is to brush him, and you're good to go! This can be a bonding time for you and your furry friend.
They're quite stubborn
One of the most frustrating thing about having a Blue Nose Pitbull is that these dogs are strong-willed dog which makes them harder to train.
In fact, these doggies need a strong-willed trainer to match them!
These doggies are adorable but, at the same time, very stubborn. If you aren't as stubborn as your dog, he may just ignore the command. This is why it is crucial that you maintain balance with your furry friend.
This means that you shouldn't be too strict with the dog but, not too friendly either.
Your dog needs to go through extensive training and needs a good trainer. These dogs don't do very well with forceful trainers as they are more likely to develop resentment if you're too harsh with them.
Summing Up: Some Facts You Need to Know About Blue Nose Pitbulls
The magnificent Blue Nose Pitbull is the most popular color variations of the American Pitbull Terrier—the second one being the Red Nose Pitbull.
The popular Blue Nose Pitbull is a result of a genetic mutation which affects the way your dog produces the melanin in his body.
But, there's a thing.
A Blue Nose Pitbull doesn't need to have a blue nose to be classified that way. In fact, the dog can have a mixed or even a red nose! It's all a game of genes.
People feel that these dogs are aggressive and even dangerous.
But, that's far from the truth.
In fact, Blue nose Pitbulls are friendly and gentle. These dogs are excellent with small kids and get along well with dogs because they're highly active and playful.
Holding the breed's bloody history against them forever is unfair.
Modern Pitbulls are bred to be excellent companions—not to be strong and aggressive—like they were during the times of bloodsports.
These strong-willed dogs need a trainer that can match their stubborness.
