Whether you're creating on just one 3D printer or monitoring an entire room full of them, it's nearly impossible to have your eyes glued to the print bed for the entire printing process. Although, as a whole, 3D printers are continuously improving in terms of efficiency and autonomy, it only takes one minor error within the settings or environment of the 3D printer setup to set you back hours. But, instead of having to remain stationed to monitor the printer, what if you could just carry that printer with you wherever you went? Well, MatterHackers may have the solution for off-site 3D printer monitoring and control, having just released the MatterControl Touch T10, the 10.6″ standalone 3D printer controller, the next step up from their previously released 7" MatterControl Touch.
MatterHackers courteously sent the MatterControl T10 to me to test out and review for 3D Printing Industry, and I was curious to see how the T10 3D printer controller would compare to other 3D printing host software that allow for remote printer control, such as AstroPrint and OctoPrint. The setup of the T10 controller was extremely quick and convenient, requiring just a USB connection to the 3D printer to get started. Once the simple setup was complete, which took about 10-15 minutes in total, I had full access to the settings of my printer directly on the T10 tablet. This allowed me to quickly perform some useful tasks such as nozzle and print bed pre-heating, support structure adjustments, and a full layer-by-layer preview of my prints on the integrated MatterSlice slicer. All of these controls were available on a collective interface, which also included access to a print queue and the available MatterControl Cloud Library. One of the first aspects that grabbed my attention was how user-friendly the T10's UI was.
Though the first thing I noticed was this accessibility, I soon discovered a whole plethora of features that make the tablet a valuable component for both the 3D printing hobbyist and service provider. The web-based onboard camera monitoring system, for example, allows the user to monitor the entire printing process directly from their smartphone or computer via WiFi with the MatterControl Cloud Sync. And, if you don't have WiFi available while using the T10, the tablet can function as a standalone controller as well, giving quick access to both your printer and the MatterSlice software.
The MatterSlice software provided both high-quality and quick access to the selected 3D model (I first experimented with a MatterControl coin provided on the tablet). It being my first time using any type tablet to control and monitor a 3D printer, I was honestly astonished at the computing power of the on-board slicer, which ran on a 2Ghz Octa-Core processor. What also made the slicing software so convenient was that, well, it was already all setup for me by the time I opened MatterSlice. The T10 slicing software was completely streamlined, with all of their settings pre-loaded, yet still easily adjustable. With the slicer, I was able to adjust support infills, layering settings, and much more on the fly. The new and improved tablet offers almost as much control over the 3D model as it does the 3D printer; however, I did notice that there was a lack of control over the actual slicing of .STL file when you upload it to print in a distance, as opposed to when you use it in front of the printer. Still, the T10 grants nearly complete full-access to the entire printing experience, from the CAD model to the finished product.
The implementation of both the MatterControl Cloud Sync and the MatterControl Cloud Library seemed well-engineered as well. The Cloud Sync not only allows users to monitor the printing process, they're also able to start new prints and pause ongoing jobs remotely from a web-enabled device. The Cloud Library, on the other hand, offers the convenience of stashing 3D models without the need for an SD Card or USB connection. Yet, when using the cloud printing process, there seemed to be lack of accessibility to print settings, such as support generation or resolution adjustment.
One of the new and most prominent features of the Cloud Library is the ability to share design files with others via email, allowing recipients to view the full file with read-only access, which will prevent your file from being modified or exported without your knowledge. The library offers a whole bunch of other features and perks, which you can check out on the MatterHackers blog.
"At MatterHackers we continue to push the boundaries of the 3D printing technology by creating software, and now devices, that are designed to improve how consumers interact with printers, prepare files, organize designs and generally get more out of their 3D printers," said Lars Brubaker, MatterHackers' CEO. "We are excited for the release of MatterControl T10. It offers a unique and seamless user experience on a grand new scale."
To me, it seems that the T10 is especially useful for educational purposes, considering that students can all access and upload files to the Cloud, while educators are able to keep an eye on these prints and their students at the same time. But it's obvious that MatterHackers was sure to engineer their newest tablet to be useful and accessible for both beginners and experts, hobbyist and professionals. But, although the interface is extremely clean and easy to navigate, the software itself seems like it could be a bit more intuitive, and there seemed to be way more unexplained features than the compact instruction booklet allowed for. But, with a bit more time, I trust that the entirety of the MatterControl T10 platform would be graspable.
There's nothing worse than taking hours into a print, running out to feed your stomach, and returning home to find some type error. This is where the MatterControl Touch T10 comes in to try and save the day, and though it does that and a whole lot more, my one criticism would probably be the targeted market. The device is certainly helpful for both educational and professional uses, but I'm not sure if the $329 price tag is justifiable for a hobbyist with one 3D printer, such as myself. It's not that the T10 is useless for the average 3D printing enthusiast. Many of the new features, such as the web-based camera monitoring system, as well as the full access to the settings within my 3D printer, made the MatterControl T10 a pleasure to use. But for a consumer market that is still trying to find the righteous path to success, the T10 3D printer controller may, in fact, be too ahead of its time.
Regardless, if you're in need of help monitoring and controlling your 3D printer, it's definitely worth looking into the MatterControl T10. Where I think the tablet is especially useful, is with 3D printers with little to no user interface interaction, such as the Printrbot. With a printer like the Ultimaker 2, however, the tablet simply just seems to represent a remote extension of your printer and slicer. Depending on your 3D printing task and setup, the tablet could be the perfect babysitter for your 3D printer, allowing you to watch, adjust, and enjoy the 3D printing process, even when you're not around to watch it first-hand.

Old Journal 6
I guess it's been a while since I've had a chance to enter a log. Well, today is September 24,1998 and I have a lot on my mind that I must get out now or surely I will pay the consequences for not writing now. Over the past few days, I've come to notice a girl in my PE class and who rides the same bus as me. Anyway, the funny thing is that I have no way of understanding whether or not the Lord will let me proceed with my feelings. I pray that the Lord will be very clear as to yes or no. A while back, the Lord made it clear to me that I was not allowed to date or court any girl until He let me. The thing is, I can't discern what is the Lord and what is me. For some reason, I tend to involuntarily look and glance at her face whenever she walks by. I also can't help but look for her on the bus and at PE. My mind is just going haywire trying to figure out what's going on. Everyday, I contemplate if this is God or me. I have yet to learn her name. There is one thing for sure, there is a lot of interference from other classmates as to me getting the strength together just to meet her. I have to constantly look through the haze of this world to my Maker in order to see the true light about the situation. Unfortunately, I have yet to see that light. I can only hope that light will appear very soon. It's just getting restless trying to sort through my head what is up or down. If she is the one God wants for me, I pray her image of me has not been distorted by the ridicule of fellow classmates. Also, I hope that she is not disturbed by my appearance or by my mannerisms. God, oh God please let the truth be known to me. Is there some unfinished business that I have yet to complete before You let me know or do I just have to wait for Your timing or both? I just have so much trouble with it that it pains me to have to wait for such timing. My only hope is that whoever the Lord, my God, who is the Almighty Savior of the world and me, chooses will be the right ONE. Anyway, over past days we got a joystick. It used to belong to John (last name removed for courtesy), my youth pastor. I'm grateful to him, after all, he gave me and Troy this very computer, this keyboard, the mouse I used to get into this program, and a lot of games and applications. This last weekend, I spent the time with Joey and Annie. I had a fun time. We almost beat "BanjoKazooie." At the end we had to go through a big board game answering questions from the game. For some reason I can't get off the subject of this girl. I first noticed her, slightly, the first day we lined up on our numbers in PE. She was wearing a mid thigh length, sleeveless, beige dress with red and yellow flowers on it. She was also wearing high-healed sandals. I didn't start paying much attention to her until the second or third day or so when we began to dress out in our PE clothes. I have a little trouble remembering when I began to notice her. It was last week that I really began to ask God about her. As it obviously appears, I've missed a lot of time to journal about this. This is the first time I've ever in my entire life that I've felt like this. I just have no clue as to what I should do. As a matter of fact, I'm having trouble writing this very entry. I've been less accurate as far as my spelling goes and my grammar. Just while writing that last sentence I got two words wrong and had to rewrite it once already. I usually only get one word wrong per sentence and only have to rewrite a sentence twice in an entry MAX. This is very scary for me considering the fact that I've never had a real, solid, or even on my own will, relationship. This is just wearing me out of the picture. At least my normal picture. I know I have to be careful as to what I should take personal and what I should just forget about, because I know that anything she says will be more effective on me then a nuclear bomb or torture could ever be. I must be careful also to the content of her values and morals. I pray that they are as well built on the Lord as the rivers of the world flow. This episode in my life can be explained in Gods timing. Her outward appearance is good so far, as I can tell. At least I can see she is very beautiful. Her inward appearance has yet to be discovered. Yet again, unfortunately, I will not be able to discover all until the Lord comes, whenever that happens. Until then, I can only learn so much. I hope I'll have the time to find out. Until next time, I'll say good night. I think.

Jimmy Carter Opens His Mouth (Again) and Removes All Doubt (Again)
The worst (completed term) President of my life opened his mouth and proved him a fool yet again, deriding the criticism of President Obama's health care "plan" (when I was younger a plan required specifics, but maybe things have changed) as based on racism...and "an inherent feeling among many in this country that an African American should not be President." And I suppose my utter revulsion at his foolishness both in and out of office is based on an inherent feeling that a Georgian should not be President. (Sorry Newt)
Such utter folly isn't surprising when you consider the source. But it is surprising that people still listen to the cracked peanut. He was a disgrace in office, but an even bigger one since leaving it.

So You Want to Make a Movie - The Plan
Step 16. The Plan
If you are a first time filmmaker and producer, I suggest that you be intimately involved in every aspect of preproduction; that especially includes "the schedule". Every film production has a bible, and it's called "the production schedule" or "the production board".
Your production manager is responsible for creating the shooting schedule and production board, which are based on a detailed analysis and breakdown of the script. The production board is essentially a blueprint that you follow during the production phase of your movie. It is designed to keep you on budget and on time. Without it, you have no chance of completing your movie. The production board's main purpose is to group locations, actors, props, wardrobe, and crew in order to create an efficient and timely schedule. For example, if you need an actor for only two days and you're shooting a 24-day schedule, it would be inefficient to have the actor work on day 6 and then on day 20. A good production board would have the actor on set on days 6 and 7.
As the production draws closer, meet with your director and director of photography to look their shot list, lighting diagrams, storyboards, and blocking schemes. Have they done their homework? Do these look in order? Now is the time to find out—before you turn on the camera. All of these things are necessary as a low-budget filmmaker to stay on time, on schedule, and under budget. If the lighting diagrams and blocking schemes are too complicated, you might want to ask for revisions. "Keep it simple" should be your golden rule. Movie making is essentially an exercise in logistics. Good planning will solve a lot of problems within the production phase. Without a plan, you're going to spend all of your time talking about what you want to do instead of actually doing it. Trust me; you can't afford to do that.

Wearable Tech: Five of the Latest and Greatest
By Carly McCall
Wearable technology is the next wave of mobile hardware innovation. Dozens of manufacturers are competing for real estate on the bodies of savvy consumers the world over, and wearable tech sales are slated to top US$5 billion in 2014 (http://www.statista.com/statistics/259372/wearable-device-market-value/) with the year`s biggest shopping season expected to round off a strong Q4. A few short years ago wearable tech was seen more as a novelty, and consumers and industry pundits laughed and rolled their eyes over the prospect of augmented reality eyewear and inflatable vests that offer "hugs` via Facebook. However, today`s wearable technology is taken very seriously as potentially game-changing in terms of productivity, health and fitness, business communication and more.
2014 has seen some truly stunning innovations in wearable technology, both from the big established tech companies and from some exciting young start-ups. Many have hit the market just in time to feature on Christmas wish lists this year. Let`s take a look at five of the newest wearables making a splash this year:
Samsung Gear S (www.samsung.com/global/microsite/gears/) Samsung`s latest smart watch offering (one of four in 2014!) is a wildly ambitious offering that attempts to double as a full standalone smartphone " made possible with 3G and Wifi connectivity. The Gear S boasts a big, shiny 2 inch curved AMOLED screen, 512MB of RAM and 4GB of internal storage " as much as some of the full-sized smartphones still on the market. The Gear S is a health and fitness companion as well; employing enhanced multi-sensors, native GPS and Samsung S Health functionality. The growing Samsung Gear ecosystem has its own operating system and app micro-store, but the Gear S does still require pairing with a fairly new Samsung smartphone to install apps and set up features. The Samsung Gear S is the closest yet to that futuristic dream of a standalone wrist gadget for all one`s connectivity needs (remember the Jetsons` wristwatches?) and is an indicator of interesting advances to come in the very near future. Prices starting at US$349.92.
Arki by Zikto (www.arkiband.com) Brand-new player in the wearable tech sector, Zikto is an award-winning Los Angeles- and Seoul-based startup currently crowdfunding for their Arki personal walking coach. Arki`s claim is fairly audacious: it will teach you how to walk. Properly, at least. We walk every day, but bad walking posture is on the rise, thanks in part to our fixation on our smartphone screens, and bad walking posture can lead to a number of health consequences. Good walking posture has us walking tall, head up, swinging arms comfortably with an even and balanced stride, and Arki sets out to reform our bad habits and set us on the path to good. A deceptively sleek and stylish wristband houses all the traditional fitness tracking features, as well as a six-point motion sensor and other specialised sensors that measure users` arm swing, heaviness of stride and more. Real-time feedback gives a reminder to walk well, and detailed data and personalised coaching comes courtesy of the Arki app. Arki`s mission appears to have captured consumers` attention, with the Kickstarter campaign [https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/862818642/arki-your-walking-coach] 76% funded a mere week into its run. Arki looks set to be an affordable investment in good health too, with basic packages starting at US$99.
MICA (www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/wearables/fashion-technology.html) Intel`s debut fashion collaboration (with style empire Opening Ceremony) is possibly the world`s most luxe wearable to date. Snakeskin accented with semi-precious stones and gold plating is sure to make this US$495 bracelet a must-have for "It Girls` the world over. Entirely a communication device, MICA (which stands for My Intelligent Communication Accessory) vibrates on receipt of a text message and serves up social media notifications on its curved sapphire glass screen. Interestingly, MICA operates entirely separately to your smartphone and comes with a unique phone number and two-year service contract. Contacts will need to decide whether to send text messages to MICA or to your phone, which could get confusing! However, for many style mavens MICA`s chic aesthetic and "Hot New Thing` status is sure to outweigh such considerations. MICA will be available in the US from early December; international launch plans are as yet unknown.
Gymwatch (www.gymwatch.com) Another iteration of the motion-sensing fitness wearable, Gymwatch ran a successful Indiegogo campaign earlier in 2014 for their armband sensor which tracks users` performance in gym-based exercises. Gymwatch aims to precisely measure not only the range of motion used in these exercises but the strength component, counting reps and detecting incorrect form. Real-time feedback comes via a paired smartphone app. Two sensors are recommended to track imbalances between the left and right sides or to track upper and lower body movements at once or in quick succession; with a retail of US$199 per sensor (not including band) this is likely to appeal only to the most serious and scientific of fitness enthusiasts. Gymwatch truly takes the idea of an electronic personal trainer to its high-tech extreme!
Apple Watch (www.apple.com/watch/apple-watch/) Technically, the Apple Watch is not actually a real, available commodity yet. But since its announcement in early September 2014, it`s been one of the most talked-about topics in wearable technology history. Release is scheduled for Spring 2015, and development of native apps for the Watch have just got underway. Apple Watch is of course designed to play especially well with later-model iDevices like the iPhone 6 and iPad Air 2, using the latest iteration of its operating system iOS 8. The Apple Watch is part communications device, part fitness tracker, and part fashion accessory and status symbol. It can make and receive calls and send and receive text messages on behalf of your larger iDevice, and a number of interesting and unique little features are planned to set the Apple Watch apart from the rest. Three versions of the Apple Watch will each be available in two sizes, including the 18ct gold and sapphire Apple Watch Edition, which is expected to be one pricey unit indeed. Early reviews are cautiously favourable, but there`s no doubt that the mystery and intrigue surrounding this item, the years of anticipation preceding it, and the simple fact that Apple fans are inclined to buy wholeheartedly into the brand ecosystem mean it will be a hot ticket item in a few short months. Prices beginning at US$349 are expected.
As you can see by this brief selection, wearable technology is a fast-evolving and diverse sector of the mobile hardware industry. Inventive designers and increased investment interest are converging to bring a wave of new advances for tech-savvy consumers, not to mention the potential for better health, productivity and communication. Are you on board?

Edgar Wright in Negotiations to Direct Johnny Depp in Disney's 'Night Stalker'
Edgar Wright is in negotiations to direct The Night Stalker, Disney confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter Wednesday. Johnny Depp is attached to star in the Disney project, a big-screen update of the 1970s television property.
PHOTOS: 10 Biggest Book-to-Big Screen Adaptations of the Last 25 Years
Wright's previous film was Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, an adaptation of Bryan Lee O'Malley's comic book of the same name, which performed poorly at the box office but has found an audience on cable and home video. After Scott Pilgrim and his two collaborations with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, the director's genre cred is virtually unassailable, making him an ideal choice for bringing the supernatural-themed material to life.
Originally based on the novel The Kolchak Papers by Jeff Rice, The Night Stalker follows newspaper reporter Carl Kolchak who investigates supernatural occurrences. Depp is attached to play the title role (Darren McGavin played him in the '70s TV version) and serve as the project's producer alongside Christi Dembrowski, Depp's partner at Infinitum Nihil.
There's no word how this will affect Wright's longtime efforts to bring the Marvel Comics character Ant-Man to the screen, but the filmmaker may be paving the way for that project: Disney owns Marvel, so the directing job might be part of a deal to do the adaptation next.

Rove has some explaining to do
I imagine there are some fascinating behind-the-scenes conversations taking place in the political world this morning, but the chats I'd especially like to hear are the ones between the most generous Republican donors and the party officials who didn't deliver.
Precise estimates vary, but by all accounts, Republican casino magnate Sheldon Adelson, for example, invested tens of millions of dollars in the 2012 cycle, including writing several large checks to Rove's Crossroads attack operation. Rove effectively told Adelson and other hyper-wealthy donors, "Give me your money and I'll deliver the election results you want."
The checks came. The victories didn't.
With Republicans already in control of the House, Crossroads, Restore Our Future, and related groups seemed to think it was simply a matter of finances – if they could raise the necessary resources, they could "carpetbomb" Democratic candidates, win the Senate, and take the White House. Democrats wouldn't know what hit them.
It wasn't a bad theory; it just failed miserably. President Obama appears to have ended up with 332 electoral votes, and the Democratic majority in the Senate got bigger, not smaller. When Rove's phone rings today, and angry billionaires want to know what kind of return on investment they received, I honestly have no idea what he can say to justify such widespread failures.
Over the summer, Rachel talked to Harvey Weinstein, and asked about Democrats getting swamped by millions from the far-right. The co-founder of Miramax Films and the co-chairman of the Weinstein Company replied:
"I'll give you an example of two movies that I distribute. I spent the exact same amount on both movies. One movie was called 'The King's Speech.' It grossed $140 million, won a few Oscars, including best picture and did sensational based on its budget.
"The other was called 'Our Idiot Brother.' We spent the same amount of money and the movie grossed $25 million. Not bad for what we paid for it – you know, OK, a little bit of profit.
"To me, Romney is 'Our Idiot Brother' and Obama is 'The King's Speech.' You can spend all the money in the world, if you've got a bad product, it doesn't matter."
Four months later, Weinstein's quote looks even more sensible than it seemed at the time.
Rove and Adelson can buy a lot of airtime, but they can't buy an electorate that thinks like they do.
Postscript: Incidentally, maybe now would be a good time for the political establishment to reassess Rove's purported genius. He very nearly blew the 2000 race; he oversaw his party's 2006 debacle; and he was still insisting Romney had a shot fairly late last night. Maybe "The Architect" isn't the brilliant tactician he's been made out to be?

Authorities took a 17-year-old into custody after he opened the emergency exit of a jet preparing to taxi at San Francisco International Airport, jumped onto the wing and dropped down to the tarmac, an airport spokesman said.
The bizarre incident unfolded at about 2:30 p.m. as Copa Airlines Flight 208 from Panama City was waiting to taxi to its arrival gate, according to a statement released by SFO spokesman Doug Yakel.
"Apparently he slid down the wing onto the tarmac," said Yakel, adding that the boy was not injured.
An airfield construction crew confronted the teen and held him until San Francisco police arrived to take him into custody. He was later handed over to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Yakel said. The boy was not identified, but he is a U.S. citizen and was traveling by himself, according to the statement.
Passengers said the boy seemed fidgety and anxious throughout the flight. He also acted so fast, no one had a chance to stop him.
Sophia Gibson, of San Jose, said people sitting next to him were shocked when he jumped out of the jet and onto the wing. "It was as if he was like flying out, like it was really fast," Gibson told NBC Bay Area.
Matt Crowder, of Atherton, said people sitting near the exit row stood up when the boy jumped out and started to shout.
"They were yelling, 'Tell the flight attendants. Relay the message back. The door's open. Someone jumped off,'" Crowder told the television station. "It was pretty crazy."
Passenger Isaac Rodrigues said the jet sat on the tarmac for about an hour before being allowed to continue to the gate. Yakel said no runways or other flights were affected.

You have gone through much struggle, agony, prayer and counsel - and you've come to a point where you feel that you need to move on from your church. Ok, but your next steps are the most important - leaving well and in a way that doesn't bring destruction and ruin.
Here is some good advice rom Tim Stevens: Thinking of leaving your church? Here's how I would do it…
- I would write a letter to the pastors and leaders. In this letter, I would talk about the way God had changed my life through the ministry of that church. I would talk about how some of my family members met Christ there, were baptized, went on missions trips and more. I would talk about how my own thoughts and beliefs were formed through my years at the church. I would talk about how I am more like Christ because of my time there. I would tell stories of specific retreats or camps or services where my life (or those of my family) was changed because of the church and its' leaders.
- In this letter, I would not gripe or complain. I would not talk about the stuff I don't like or decisions with which I disagree.
- In a short paragraph, I would say that "my wife and I have decided to attend and serve in a different church for this next season of our spiritual growth."
- I would end the letter by assuring the pastor that he/she will never hear us talk badly about this church. I would encourage the pastor to feel free to share this letter with anyone who questions why we left.
- THEN, and this is most important, I would not mail this letter. Rather, I would set an appointment with the pastor and I would hand-deliver the letter. I would read it aloud to him–or ask him to read it in my presence. I would re-state my love for him and profound thanks for the ministry he had in my life.
- Then I would walk away and keep my promise. I would never speak negatively to anyone about that church. In fact, when people asked, I would say, "God changed my life at that church!"
This is a lot different than just slinking away and disappearing or leaving with bitterness and criticism. This way brings God honoring closure.

Endangered Species: wildlife to be viewed before it's too late
Author: Bronwen Roberts
There are several factors leading to endangerment of wildlife species: habitat destruction, introduction of exotic species, and overexploitation. It is hard to identify or predict human effects on individual species and habitats. However, it seems the earth is groaning under the weight of human abuse over the decades. It may take centuries to re-grow forests where many of the world's severely threatened animals live. Our planet is changing at such a fast rate and due to long-term abuse of the earth; nature seems no longer in harmony with itself. If the strongest forces in rapid habitat loss are human beings, then it is up to us to put structures in place to protect endangered species.
Private Game Lodge in South Africa protects species The Wild Dog is one of Africa's most endangered mammal species and located at the Sabi Sand Game Reserve. The main contributory factor to the decline in population numbers is persecution by humankind, until recently even within conservation areas. Other factors are diseases like rabies and distemper, where Wild Dogs are in contact with domestic animals. Genetic inbreeding may be the possible cause of the Kruger Park Wild Dog's life expectancy of only six years.
Males are slightly larger than females and weigh 20-30 kg as adults. Each individual has a blotchy yellow, black and white unique coat pattern, which makes it possible to identify every individual in a population with certainty. Wild Dogs prey mainly on small to medium sized animals, of which the Impala is the favourite prey. In East Africa, they stand recorded as having hunted prey as large as Wildebeest and Zebra. Wild Dogs hunt in packs, and all individuals collaborate in a team effort to chase and wear out pursued prey to exhaustion. Once brought to a standstill: the prey is killed by all the dogs tearing it apart at once. Wild Dogs do take livestock in some areas, but this is a rare occurrence.
Breeding in the Wild Wild Dogs are seasonal breeders. In South Africa, pups are born during mid winter after a gestation period of 70 days. Known as the alpha pair, the dominant male and female are the only dogs to breed in a Wild Dog pack. Other members forego the right to breed and act only as helpers in the pack. A litter is safe guarded in burrows.
Their nomadic movements make simple estimates of their distribution difficult. Until very recently, the range of the Wild Dog included much of sub-Saharan Africa, apart from rainforest areas and deserts. Now, however, they have been extirpated from most of their range, they are extinct in most countries in West and Central Africa, and in the East and the South they are confined to a few areas where human population density remains low, but you can view them on one of the Kruger Park Safaris in South Africa.
Sabi Sabi/Kruger Park Safaris The Cheetah is the fastest land animal over short distances, and can reach speeds of up to 90 km/h (55.9 m/h) in pursuit of prey. This Cat is characterised by a slender body, long legs, and a distinctly rounded head with small rounded ears. It has a strongly spotted coat and a long tail, which has a unique pattern of striped markings.
The Cheetah's main prey is medium to small antelope such as Steenbok and Duiker, Thomson's Gazelle and Springbok, but there have been accounts of males grouping together to hunt larger prey such as Wildebeest. They also prey on Baboons, ground-living Birds, Bustards, Hares, and Porcupines.
Cheetahs do not have a fixed seasonal breeding cycle and in this too, they are similar to leopards. Cheetah cubs are born after a gestation period of about three months. Usually two cubs are born in the litter, but occasionally there are up to six. Cubs stay with their mother for about two years, but sadly, most of them never live to adulthood because they are preyed upon by Lions, Leopards, Hyenas, Foxes and Eagles, to name but a few. Being a comparatively frail Cat, the mother often has to give up her young or risk being killed herself. However, in areas where there is good cover or few predators, the possibility of a Cheetah's survival is quite good.
The Rare Wild Cat of the Bushveld Cheetahs have disappeared from very large areas of the African continent due to modern man's colonisation. They are predominantly diurnal, with peaks of activity at sunrise and sunset. Those who have never heard a Cheetah's call will be very surprised to hear it make an almost bird-like chirp. While they also growl, snarl and hiss like domestic Cats, they do not roar as some people might expect them to. They prefer to frequent open plains as is often depicted in films, but they are also at home in savannah woodland areas.
This rare and totally protected species is located only in the Kalahari and remote areas of the Northern Province and Mpumalanga, as well as sporadically in the Northern Cape Province. The King Cheetah is not a species on its own, but a natural phenomenon amongst the Cheetah family, where at times, their young are naturally born with this colouring. The King Cheetah is located predominantly in the Kruger National Park in South Africa.
About the author: Over many years; strict conservation policies and successful wildlife management have resulted in a large and varied assortment of African game species within the area of the Sabi Sabi Luxury game lodges in South Africa, which lie within the 65,000 hectare Sabi Sands Game Reserve in the southern section of the Kruger National Park. Each of these game lodges is surrounded by hundreds of species of

text: When my brother and I arrive at the Hyatt Regency on 7-10 for TMC Connect we'll have our two dogs with us, my 60 - 65 pound Labrador Retriever and his 10 pound Cockapoo. They will have traveled cross country with us and we'll be staying at pet friendly hotels along the way. The Hyatt Regency says it's pet friendly but evidently only to small dogs. This is its stated policy: Pet Policy We are happy to welcome your traveling canine companions. To participate in the pet program: Inform the hotel you'll have a pet (or pets) staying with you at least three days in advance of your arrival. Ask for a referral to a reputable kennel if the Hyatt hotel you are visiting does not offer dog-friendly rooms. All exempt properties have these on file. Keep in mind, only dogs weighing 50 pounds and under or two dogs under a combined weight of 75 pounds are permitted. I did call the hotel to tell then we'd have two dogs but did not say anything about their weight. So we appear to have a potential problem: while the two dogs are under the weight limit my lab's weight exceeds 50 pounds. Does anyone know how strictly this policy is enforced? I don't want to arrive for check in only to be denied because of the weight of my dog. Should I call and ask or should I just book another more per friendly hotel with less severe restrictions. Looking for some informed advice.

The big lesson in this week's episode of Movie B.S. with Bayer and Snider is that nobody likes "Jack and Jill." But there is some disagreement between our critics on "J. Edgar," which Snider didn't care for while Bayer thought it was a fascinating character study. Neither of them thought "Immortals" was very good. And bringing us back around to peace and harmony, Jeff and Eric both adore "Like Crazy." There's also some QOTW fun and a lively round of Pitch Me that's torn from today's headlines. QOTW: What movies do you think had the prettiest and ugliest casts?

Movie B.S. with Bayer and Snider
Jeff Bayer and Eric D. Snider are movie critics, but not the stuffy, elitist kind. They're not the idiotic fanboy kind either. So what kind of movie critics are they? The kind with an Internet radio show, that's what.
"Movie B.S." features reviews of new films both good and bad, smackdowns of the bad movies of yesteryear, and a plethora of other movie-related features. All of it is tied together by cavalier banter between Bayer and Snider, who noticed that there was a dearth of cavalier banter on the Internet and sought to rectify that.

Keynote/Platform Speakers
The large group times focus on the bigger picture of students leading a team of peers in a cross cultural context.
A short portion of the weekend is dedicated to communicating the logistical elements of an overseas project and the leader's role. These are a combination of O-Week, travel and contingency logistics.
Field Exercise
Saturday afternoon, the tribes will be divided into groups. Each group will have a training operation to conduct in Wichita involving public transportation, problem solving, walking, and communication.
Leadership Workshops
The workshop sessions are designed to give team leaders content related to leading their team during the spring semester, through O-Week and overseas. The goal of these workshops is to give practical resources for students to lead a team of peers well.
Interactive Tribal "Council"
Each team is assigned to a "Tribe," which is their community at TLT and O-Week. At TLT, leaders start working with Tribe Leaders, who will act as coaches for the Tribal "Council" small group sessions. These sessions are great relational times together, where you can process the challenges of leading, ask questions, and learn from each other.

This was by far one of the most helpful and effective leadership programs I have ever been through. I feel much more confident in leading my team after going through this.CalebTeam Leader '16
Orientation Week
When: May 19 – 24, 2019
Where: Salina, Kansas
At O-Week we create a simulated country called Focustan. Within Focustan is a "new culture" where students will eat, sleep and live together with their team for the week. It will include numerous interactions with almost 100 actors / instructors playing roles of Nationals (locals) and Polis (government officials) in ways similar to what you would experience overseas.
The training scenario condenses overseas life into a one week experience so students/teams learn on numerous levels at once:
Participitory Learning
Our model for learning is called "Participatory Learning." The FOCUS method of training will revolve around the following areas: Train to go on assignment with a heart to live a values driven life.
- Train to live safely overseas: We train for travel awareness.
- Train to make friends overseas: We train for building cross-cultural friendships.
- Train to joyfully travel as a group of friends: We train for group cohesiveness.
- Train to fully cooperate with and bless our Overseas Partners: We train to cooperate with and be a blessing to those we work with.
Levels of Learning
Level 1: Character Confrontation and Resolution.
Level 2: Cross-cultural Engagement.
Teams learn to live with integrity in a cross-cultural setting and effectively share life with their new friends.
Level 3: Team Building.
O-Week is designed to facilitate helping teams work together as a group of friends who honestly care about each other. The training is designed so student's summers will be filled with a healthy balance of trust in others and tested confidence in oneself.
O-Week Format
Orientation Week (O-Week) is a mixture of simulation (hands-on) training and debriefing (classroom and small group instruction)
Tribe Leaders
Teams participating in O-Week are divided into subgroups (by culture/region/people group) called Tribes. Each Tribe has a 'Tribe Leader,' who coaches throughout the week and helps teams debrief what they are experiencing and learning.
Tribe Coaches:
Within the tribes, tribe coaches serve as hands-on coaches when teams are in simulation.
Each Tribe has their own 'squad' of Polis that will be present with the team throughout to week. Polis are coaches for the teams, training students to responsibly and respectfully interact with different government authorities in the countries they will travel to.
Like Polis, each Tribe has their own group of "nationals" assigned to them. The Nationals will challenge the students in relationship building and being aware and respectful of cultural norms.

Video Premiere: Lorca "Have I Told You"
Brighton's Lorca sent over this kaleidoscopic video for "Have I Told You," an emotive dancefloor cut which serves as the opener of his new If I Told You EP. The visual piece opens with a sparkling city skyline before transitioning into electrifying and highly-detailed patterns that split screen time with darker designs. Lorca's abstract clip would work well as the backdrop of his live performance, but is equally hypnotic on a computer screen and complements the track's oblique rhythms and soulful atmospheres. Lorca's If I Told You EP is out now on vinyl, with the digial package arriving on April 15 via 2020 Midnight Visions.

Speaking of Subscribers
Susan Duval https://www.susanduvalseminars.com brought 20 new Heavensubscribers from Pennsylvania in less than two days! Susan sent this out to the many subscribers to her newsletter:
Dear Friends,

Here is the God quote from this boy that I love the most:
Don't you see we are not here for our own purpose, we are here for the universal purpose?http://www.nicholas.citymax.com/index.html

Motor-home Trip to Argentina
It's on for late January. And I thought I was going to skip Iowa winter! But who wouldn't wait for this once-in-a-lifetime adventure!
Here's a little preview from Heaven's Creative Director:
A road trip from the US to the tip of South America! With God-loving companions for company. Plus possibilities of spotting wild cacao trees, harvesting fresh coffee beans and drinking raw coconut water. Sleeping in a tent on isolated beaches and under the star-studded skies of the desert. And to think we will bring many hearts closer to God!
If you could ask God three questions, what would you ask?
Jeff Keller, a long-time subscriber to Heavenletters, and John Lisicich asked people all over the world what questions they would ask God.
Here are two random questions from the book:
Why do those who have faith in You not have faith in themselves?
Do I have a heart like yours?
This books gives just the questions, no answers.
We who read Heavenletters well know that God has addressed these questions many times over.
God is becoming popular, I think. :)

God Quote:
David to God:
Dear God, I want the Peace of God. How can I have that today...this moment? Now?
God said:
The bell clanging nearby (There was a church bell ringing not too far away) sends out a certain vibration just as my Love sends out a certain vibration. It envelops you. It permeates you (Suddenly, I had a vision of atoms and molecules existing everywhere and radio-like waves flowing through them all) and when you surrender, you too remember that you are the same vibration. All that you see and come into contact with comes under the same spell of your love...
From David Aldrich's Godwriting, Virginia, U.S. Army

How about this, you wake up one morning, you get your cup of coffee like you usually do, you open the web browser and to check how your site is doing only to find out that all your posts, pages, comments, all your hard work have vanished, but with the website still working. The first thing it will come to mind is "did anybody got into my site and deleted everything?", "did a malware did this?". I could be, but not today.
If this is something that happened to you, be calm, it is just a problem in your WordPress database. The first thing you should do is to sign in to your host provider (e.g., Godaddy, Bluehost, Host Gator, etc.) and get access to the phpMyAdmin panel.
Open your site database, and you will discover that the wp_posts table (here is where WordPress all posts and pages content) now displays a messages that says: "in use". There could be a bunch of reasons to why this occurred. I could be a bad plugin, perhaps and more likely a problem with your WordPress hosting server.
I know that you are here for a solution, so here we go: While logged in to the phpMyAmdin and in your site database, select wp_posts table by clicking the box selector and at the bottom of the database, you'll find a drop-down menu, there simply select Repair table. Wait and you should see a green message that says "Your SQL query has been executed successfully". If you see this message, you are all set.
That's all there is to it. Now go back to your website and refresh, it should be working now.

Footwear makers: cut and run from tariffsrtment at the
US sneaker giant Nike and fancy shoemaker Allen Edmonds have joined the chorus of busines
s groups calling for the White House to hit the brakes on its move to raise duties on Chinese shoes an
d other products, further challenging President Donald Trump's claim that China is paying for the tariffs.
A week after Trump threatened to impose tariffs on the remaining $300 billion of goods imported from Chi
na, more than 100 American shoe and sneaker companies, brands and retailers signed an open letter to the president saying the p
olicy "would be catastrophic" for consumers, businesses and the US economy.
"Your proposal to add tariffs on all imports from China is ask
ing the American consumer to foot the bill," said the letter, dated on Monday and signed by
the companies. It was posted on the website of the Footwear Distributors and Retailers of America (FDRA).
That is something we need in the moment of the 21st century,"
Solana hailed the development of relations between China and the Europea
n Union, saying they could work together to uphold the existing international system.
"I think cooperation between China and the European Union is very impor
tant. And fortunately, that relationship now is in a good direction," said Solana, who se
rved as the EU's high representative for common foreign and security policy between 1999 and 2009.
He expected China to play a bigger role in the upcoming Group of 20 summit in Osa
ka, Japan, saying that leaders of major powers should sit down and have productive talks.
He hailed the Belt and Road Initiative, and said it is a good platform for international cooperation.
China has to walk a fine balance between local govern
nment debt management and stable economic growth, especially at a time when trade te
nsions with the United States have imposed more downward pressure, said economists.
More financial resources and investors will be involved in the debt resolution process, said Qiao Baoyun, head of the Acad
emy of Public Finance and Public Policy at the Central University of Finance and Economics.
The last round of local government debt swaps started in 2015 and ended in August 2018, w
hich saw 14.34 trillion yuan ($2.08 trillion) of local government debt being swapped into bonds.
Local governments are set to face more debt burden in the next three ye
ars, as many of the previously issued bonds are set to expire, income from land sales has
He said that it's of great importance to promote such philos
philosophies to enhance the exchanges and mutual learning of diverse civilizations.
Frederick W. Russell-Rivoallan, a program specialist and head of social and human sciences for UNESCO, hailed the dialogue of Asian civilizations.
"It's a great way to concentrate in this part of world, but it's also
a global inspiration – bringing countries together, understanding other cultures, respecting each
other and sharing with each other," he said. "That's the way that we can understand each other better and live together better."
China will extend 1,000-Megabyte broadband connection to more than 300 cities and cut the
average service rates by 15 percent for small and midsized enterprises this year. The measures are desi
gned to achieve multiplying effects of expanding domestic demand, boosting employment and improving people's lives.
The decision was made at the State Council's executive meeting chaired by Premier Li Keqiang on May 14.
Perhaps most notably, the growth rate of women workers wa
s higher than men in new media operators and data analysts among the five professions, illustrating that burgeoning career opportunities and skill requ
irements are presenting an unprecedented advantage for women. That's a change from the past, when women
normally had more household duties, especially in the era of universal two-child policy, he said.
Lu also said that the number of people engaged in human-centered job positions was growing faster than other rules.
"It implied that jobs requiring insights into people's preferences and habits, such a
s marketing and human resources, are irreplaceable by machine intelligence so far," Lu said.
A survey jointly conducted by research firm Trustdata and LinkedIn in April found career starters w
ere establishing their career goals earlier than past generations, exhibiting a stronger self-driven momentum.
Trade agreements can affect the types of goods being
traded and they can redirect trade toward one country, away
from others. They cannot directly affect any country's worldwide current account balance. A count
ry that saves less than it invests will have to borrow foreign funds to import foreign goods to make up that difference.
There are two ways to reduce the US trade deficit. A serious recession would reduce investme
nt, but nobody advocates that as a strategy. The only other path is to change the US financial and gove
rnment system to encourage increased savings. China has almost nothing to do with it.
Ironically, the disputes between the US and China center around both nations' legitimate desires to
protect some current low-skilled jobs, or at least to allow an easier transition to new jobs and industries.
US administration's economic policy has rightly focused on the need to
retain jobs for working-class people in the US. And, China's companies that export to the U

the 22nd film of Marvel Cinematic Universe, has made more than $2 billion globally wit
h over $576 million, nearly a third of the total, being contributed by the Chinese market.
The percentage of Hollywood films contributing to China's box office has witnessed a gradual decline in recent years
thanks to the rise of successful Chinese films including The Wandering Earth and Dying to Survive.
Due to its explosive growth in third-and fourth-tier cities, the Chinese movie market is certainly poised to become the larg
est in the world in the not too distant future. Last year, China's total box office exceeded 60 billion yuan ($8.9 billion), gra
dually closing the gap with the United States whose box office was about $11.6 billion. China has become such a form
idable force in the global film industry that international film producers cannot afford to overlook it.
Using a variety of advanced technologies-augmente
reality, artificial intelligence, virtual reality and human-computer interaction-scenes are create

In addition, visitors can experience what it's like to ride in an autonomous vehicle. Three driv

Last year, we issued an announcement offering op
portunities for all UN member states to propose experiments they want to conduct using China's space station," said Simone
tta Di Pippo, director of the UNOOSA. "We have received more than 40 proposals before the deadline for sub
mission. We will announce the winners probably by the end of June after evaluation." Di Pippo said these on the sideli
nes of the fourth China Space Day on April 24 to mark the anniversary of the country's first satellite launch in 1970.
Moreover, Pakistan intends to send one of their astronauts to China's space station by 2022, A
mer Nadeem, chairman of Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission in Pakistan, said after
the opening ceremony of China Space Day in Changsha, Hunan province, on Wednesday.
"Hopefully, the agreement on the matter will be signed very soon. We will select the candidates based on the agreement. Also, they
will come to China for some parts of the training," Nadeem said. He added that Pakistan and China will furth
er enhance cooperation on several space projects focusing on satellite networks in future.
In 2018, bilateral trade reached a historical high, surpa

Homer: I call the big one Bitey.
Not content with petting domestic animals at home, or even some wild animals in the woods, some go so far as to welcome potentially harmful wild animals into their homes and workplaces.
Sometimes this is simply out of sheer ignorance as to how dangerous and/or unhealthy this is, others may be fully aware of it and just see it as Worth It.
This does not refer to cases where specific creatures that happen to be from species associated with pest status actually have practical roles, or have been sufficiently domesticated by someone who knows what they're doing.
Not to be conflated with Friend to Bugs, though, as one can adore "cute" pests such as non-domesticated rodents, while still hating bugs, or conversely, adore the least pestilential of bugs while not letting the cute pests' cuteness cause one to treat them more like pets than one should. Contrast Reduced to Ratburgers, when a person's urge for contact with vermin derives from them being desperate enough to eat the pests. Can in some cases be an example of Pet Baby Wild Animal.
Truth in Television, of course, but it might be an idea to avoid singling out specific real-life people for this.
- Gaston Lagaffe keeps an entire family of mice in the workplace's "important documents and contracts" filing cabinet (or rather, he didn't have the heart to remove them once he saw the newly-born litter nesting in the shredded papers). Of course, he's blind to their faults, given that he also keeps a goldfish, a seagull, a cat, turtles and other animals around, to his coworkers' chagrin.
- Ratatouille has Linguini befriending a rat named Remy and letting him into the kitchen, and later letting Remy's rat friends in as well. (This results in the closure of the restaurant once the health inspector finds out that Linguini had been letting rats touch the food.)
- How to Train Your Dragon presents a more optimistic portrayal of this. Despite dragons having a reputation locally for being pests, Hiccup chooses to free the dragon he captures instead of killing it, secretly sneaks away to visit and feed it in the woods, and eventually becomes emotionally attached to it. It is through this that he discovers that dragons aren't as innately violent as they're made out to be, a realization that, combined with his observation of their behaviour, leads to both himself and his local community coming to understand them better.
- Enchanted is all over this trope—Giselle calls the "forest creatures" of New York (cockroaches, pigeons and rats) to help her clean up Robert's apartment. Hilarity Ensues when he walks in with the creatures still in the place.
- In Elf, Buddy tries to befriend a vicious raccoon, who attacks him for his troubles.
- The Green Mile: See Green Mile entry under Literature.
- The Green Mile features Mr. Jingles / Steamboat Willy, a mouse found running around the death row cells. They decide not to kill him, aside from the Jerk Ass Percy, because of his unusual behavior: fearless in the face of humans, accepts food only from the regular guards, and his searching of the cells as if he's awaiting for somebody. Mr. Jingles adopts Eduard Delacroix when he arrives and entertains all with his spool fetching trick, even performing a show for the guards on another block.
- In Harry Potter, The Weasley family adopts a rat named Scabbers, who they thought was a wild rat at the time. (Turns out it was really a shape-shifted form of Peter Pettigrew.)
- Goosebumps:
- In "Monster Blood IV", Andy thinks the blue Monster Blood creature is cute and pets it. The creature ends up multiplying when it drinks water and soon the town is overrun with blue Monster Blood creature.
- Subverted in "The Werewolf of Fever Swamp." Grady adopts a stray dog and names it Wolf. After some strange howls and disasters in the swamp, he wonders if Wolf is a werewolf. He isn't.
- Ratman's Notebooks has this trope as its central premise. Its unnamed Villain Protagonist is instructed to kill a family of rats which have colonized his mother's abandoned garden, but spares them when he sees how determined the female is to save her babies. He adopts the colony in secret and trains them to help him rob houses.
- On NewsRadio, the gang befriends a rat that is roaming the station. Dave doesn't know about this and sets traps for it, which the others set off to keep the rat safe.
- In Buffy the Vampire Slayer, when Amy turns herself into a rat to escape burning at the stake, a few seasons are spent by (mainly) Willow looking after her and trying to find a cure.
- House once kept a rat he'd found in a patient's house (it gave him the Eureka Moment necessary to the case), calling it Steve McQueen.
- Though he did on more than one occasion use him to test his theory and suggest that after it developed symptoms he might die from a "cane shaped object".
- Soap: When Chester is being held captive in his own basement by a fellow prison escapee, he befriends a rat and calls it Harold. He "teaches" it to scurry away when the lights go on.
- In the "Best Friends Forever" episode of The Haunting Hour, Jack adopts a zombie as a pet.
- In Friends, Phoebe had an entire family of rats in her house as mascots.
- In an episode of Naturally, Sadie, Rain ends up with a family of bats roosting in his locker. Although he initially wants to get rid of them, he decides to let them stay as a way of impressing girls.
- Warhammer 40,000: Nurgle, the Chaos God of decay and pestilence, is also a god of acceptance and friendship. He loves all living things, including every little bacterium, and promotes his servants to house them and have a jolly old time spreading them around.
- In The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, one of the first Fighter's Guild quests sends you to help out a woman who has a 'rat problem' in her basement. Turns out she actually likes having the rats down there; the problem is the mountain lions that keep killing them.
- Dwarves in Dwarf Fortress might have rats, cockroaches, or flies as their favourite animal.
- One sidequest in Space Colony has your complex become infested with mouse-like aliens. Tami decides to keep them as pets.
- Deacon from Fallout 4 seems to really like mole rats. When fighting them alongside the player, he'll offer quotes like "Do we have to kill these little guys?" or "Run away and burrow deep, little buddies."
- Dumb Ways to Die includes the line "keep a rattlesnake as a pet" as an example.
- Unforgotten Realms has one of Schmoopy's first actions after setting off on his journey being to adopt an undead dire rat as a pet and name him Petey.
Rob/Schmoopy: "Doesn't look friendly," my ass! Can we keep it?!Mike/Nailo: Wait, wait a second. So you kill the poor innocent old beggar, but the rat who wants to eat your face off you want as a pet?Rob/Schmoopy: But look! He's so friendly!Mike/Nailo: Don't Touch It, You Idiot! It's poisonous!
- Kinda the entire premis̲e of Downs̲cale, particularly with a s̲nake called As̲pen.
- Bob's Burgers: Linda likes to make up dramatic stories about the raccoons she sees in the back alley behind the restaurant, like Little King Trashmouth from "Two for Tina" and "Slumber Party", and Big Baby Pudding Snatcher from "Eggs for Days".
- Lazlo from Camp Lazlo gets a leech/sea lamprey attached to his head. Despite draining him dry, Lazlo insists that it's friendly.
- In the Transformers Prime episode "Scrapheap", Raf finds a small, adorable robotic creature the size of a kitten, called a scraplet, and assumes it is the Autobots' pet. It turns out scraplets eat metal, especially living metal, like, say, the Autobots. Raf quickly changes his mind about the scraplet at that point.
- In the My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic episode "Swarm Of The Century," Fluttershy finds a cute Parasprite, feeds it, and brings it home. On the way, it multiplies. The Parasprites keep multiplying until they eat most of Ponyville. At one point, they think they've gotten rid of them... until they open the door to Fluttershy's house and another swarm flies out, at which point she sheepishly admits that she couldn't help herself and had to keep just one.
- In one of the comics, Princess Luna finds a possum out in the woods and takes it home.
- Played with in the episode "Bats". Fluttershy takes pity on the fruit bats, evidently not considering them as disgusting as her friends do, although she isn't shown going so far as taking them into her home like she did in "Swarm Of The Century". Although the vampire fruit bats at first appear to have pest-like role, and Fluttershy appears to only be defending them out of pity, they turn out toward the end to have their own valuable role in spreading seeds around.
- The Simpsons has Homer not seeing anything wrong with possums infesting the monorail he's conducting and crawling around where the fire extinguisher should be.
- Pet rats have been domesticated since the 19th century (Queen Victoria owned one) and are best purchased from professional breeders or rescues that specialize in rats. However, breeders with a faltering family line will often catch disease-free "wildies" and breed them into the line to reinvigorate it, keeping the wildie as a pet afterwards. Rats are unusually easy to tame, but it's still only recommended for experts — especially since the guarded friendliness and curiosity of a promising wildie is hard to distinguish from the friendly stupor of a rabid animal.
- Pet Cockroaches have been somewhat popular for years, for the obvious reason that their being hard to kill makes them easy to take care of. Often though these tend to be imported roaches of exotic species rather than roaches scooped right of the floor.
- Similarly, ant farms - their status as a pest is why no set is ever sold with a Queen ant that could cause a population problem later on.
- Many of popular pets fit this trope: hamsters, mice, rats, guinea-pigs, gerbils, rabbits all were (or still are) considered pests in their natural environments.
- An episode of Reality TV show Hoarders featured a man who had given over his house to a horde of pet rats. He started with three. They escaped into the walls and began breeding in inaccessible corners, and he didn't have the heart to recapture the adults if it meant leaving the babies to starve. A year later, he cleanup crew left with 2,500 to rehome.
