Now, going out to different financial institutions all around and allowing them to ding your credit won't benefit you down the line. This will lower your score and add many unnecessary hard inquiries to your credit profile. Why is this bad? Well, excessive hard inquiries on your report are looked at as a negative factor by most lenders and will count against you in getting your approval, best rate, and terms.
This is why TopMark funding is a good match for business owners looking to into financing heavy equipment.

Next Steps
Talk with a business funding adviser. Business funding advisors will be your guideline through the entire financing project.

Then, they will be able to create a budget for you, decide on your options, and talk you through what will work best for your business.
A Few Questions
Your funding adviser may ask you some questions so that they can begin to develop an effective plan for you. For example, you'll want to know beforehand how long you plan to use the equipment because this will affect whether you need long-term financing or not. They'll ask, of course, what type of equipment you need, and may ask to see your financial records.
Wrapping it Up
Working with your business funding adviser, you'll secure equipment financing approval. Woohoo! You're at the finish line. First, you'll have to sign some contracts to make it official. Often, you can sign most of these documents online meaning you don't even need to leave the office.
Once those contracts are signed, you can just sit back and relax. Your business funding advisor will work with the vendor you've chosen to buy your heavy equipment through. You get your needed equipment for the business to keep growing while they get paid.

Florida-based talent set to shine at the 89th MLB All-Star Game
The 89th MLB All-Star Game will be held July 17 at Nationals Park in Washington, DC, featuring a multitude of Florida-affiliated talent when the first pitch is tossed at 7:30 p.m. on FOX Monday evening.
As the Sunshine State continues to produce some of the best talent in the MLB and MiLB, the many opportunities for fans to connect with their favorite teams and players continue after a successful Spring Training campaign in the Grapefruit League, an active Florida State League, Gulf Coast League, Southern League schedule, and the continual chase for division titles in each respective affiliation.
The Midsummer Classic will feature four Florida-born major leaguers that will see two individuals, Manny Machado of the Baltimore Orioles and J.D. Martinez of the Boston Red Sox, serving as starters for the American League while a total of 15 players with immediate connections back to the Sunshine State will take the field on Tuesday evening.
Joining Martinez and Machado on the 2018 squads are Florida-born natives Chris Sale (Boston Red Sox) and National Leaguers Jacob deGrom (New York Mets), and Miles Mikolas (St. Louis Cardinals).
Martinez and Mikolas make the Nova Southeastern Sharks the lone NCAA Division II program to have at least two players recognized among baseball's elite in the last five years. Martinez will represent the American League as the starting designated hitter, following his second career selection, while Mikolas earns his first career All-Star nod after being picked as a reserve pitcher for the National League side. Six others represent Florida's collegiate ranks. deGrom is joined by former Stetson Hatter Corey Kluber, Florida Gulf Coast's Sale, and Florida State's Buster Posey. Lorenzo Cain (Tallahassee Community College) and Patrick Corbin (Chipola College) round out the Sunshine State's former student-athletes taking part in the 2018 Midsummer Classic.
Florida's roots continue to show itself on a national stage as 10 of the previously highlighted 16 participants played their scholastic ball throughout the Sunshine State. Prep star and National League starter Javier Baez (Chicago Cubs) has shined since his time at Arlington Country Day in Jacksonville. In 2016, Baez helped guide the Cubs to their first World Series title since the 1908 season and has continued to excel on the mainstage of professional baseball. Joining Baez as former Florida-based high school talent on this year's All-Star team are Machado, Mikolas, deGrom, Sale, Martinez, Michael Brantley, Francisco Lindor, and Scooter Gennett.
Rounding out Florida's representation in the Midsummer Classic are Tampa Bay's Wilson Ramos and Miami's J.T. Realmuto. The duo will serve as reserves in the contest.
On Sunday, July 15, six Florida State League players, headlined by Taylor Trammell of the Daytona Tortugas, and one coach, Steve Singleton–hitting coach for Fort Myers Miracle, will toe the field during the SiriusXM All-Star Futures Game that kicks off the 2018 All-Star Weekend in the Nation's Capital. The World versus USA formatted rosters will also feature five native Floridians, including Shaun Anderson, Peter Alonso, Bo Bichette, Ryan Mountcastle, and Brendan Rodgers, that will showcase the MiLB's top prospects and performers this season at 4 p.m. on MLB Network.
The long-ball will be the main event on Monday, July 16 as the T-Mobile Home Run Derby will see multiple home runs knocked out of Nationals Park. The slugfest will begin at 8 p.m., live on ESPN. Joining this year's field of sluggers from the National League are Baez, Bryce Harper (Washington Nationals), Max Muncy (Los Angeles Dodgers), Jesus Aguilar (Milwaukee Brewers), Freddie Freeman (Atlanta Braves), Rhys Hoskins (Philadelphia Phillies) and Kyle Schwarber (Chicago Cubs) while the lone representative from the American League is Houston's Alex Bregman.
Florida is the base for the MLB's Grapefruit League, including Spring Training, as well as the Florida State League, Gulf Coast League, and Southern Leaguethroughout the year.

Our Doggy Day Care is the perfect option for anyone that is looking for a consistent, professional day care service for their dogs. We have a clean, modern facility with trained staff members that will ensure your dog stays safe and happy during their stay.
Swimming is a great way for your dog to exercise and have fun. We offer a clean, safe and modern alternative to taking your dog down to the beach. We are open all year round so you can treat your dog to a fun swim session no matter what season it is.
We have expanded our facilities offerings to include a wide range of grooming services. Whether your dog needs their nails trimmed, teeth cleaned, hair cut or just a good bath, we offer all of these services in our newly renovated space.
The idea for our business model came in the Summer of 2018 when we were out walking our 9 year old chocolate lab – JJ. It was a hot day and the beaches were closed because of E Coli. All I wanted to do was to provide some relief from the heat for her! JJ has arthritis in her hip and like most labs, running is her favorite thing but causes the most pain. I believe that non weight bearing exercise can be the best cross training and pain reliever that we can give her. It was breaking our heart to see our pup limp so we opened Dog Swim Vancouver for young and old pups whose parents want the best for their dog, like we want for JJ. I have extensive training with dogs – including a certification in positive reinforcement dog training. I was trained by Amber Cottle who is a well known dog trainer in Delta. Come join us for a drop in swim, a swim lesson or a day at our fun daycare!

Amidst the Covid-19 panic, Mayor Steven Fulop and Jersey City Council announced that they will be withdrawing the referendum asking voters if the Jersey City Board of Education should become an appointed body rather than an elected one. A resolution to formally withdraw the referendum will be voted on by the Council at its next meeting on Wednesday, May 6. With nine members, the Board represents nearly 30,000 students in 42 public schools.
"We still have major concerns with the Board of Education's decision to raise taxes on residents during the pandemic, but the reality is we don't want to be more disruptive to the schools when they return in September after being closed for months," said Fulop. "We've been working closely with the superintendent to help get the schools back on track as swiftly as possible due to the unforeseen obstacles we're facing amid the pandemic."
The referendum, which was first approved on Jan. 8, received mixed reviews from educators, union representatives and parents, some of who referred to the idea of a board unilaterally appointed by the mayor as "sneaky" and "an opportunistic power grab." Others felt that the decision had been made in good faith, spurred by serious management problems the Board had had for years, most recently the resignation of five members right before Jan. 8.
"There's no arguing the schools needed help when we first introduced this," said Council President Joyce Watterman," Today, we're in a much different climate, and we need to think about the best course of action in this new environment for our students, parents, teachers and residents."

So, I admit it. I started watching the "President's Address to Congress" with the same snarky, close-minded attitude that many of my "Hate Everything he Says And Does" (HESAD) group of friends had. But, within five minutes of my self-imposed drinking game (take a drink every time he said, "Very, Very, VERY" in his speech), I realized that I was watching a "New Trump." Kinda mostly… and wasn't drunk enough not to notice!
He was measured. He cut back on the campaign rhetoric. He actually presented some ideas (although admittedly not with solutions for funding them) that actually had my bulbous noggin nodding. "Whaaaaaa Happened?"
So then I went to check the posts from our Commander in Tweet (yes, I follow him on Twitter…more on that in a minute), and realized that he had taken a moratorium (short, very, very, VERY short) on laying waste to the Tweet-O-Shere over the days preceding his speech.
Just TWO posts in two days…both pimping his big speech. Holyfreakinshirt!
So, WHAT got into him? What changed? Who got his attention? Is it going to last???
Well…in my opinion, the answer to the first two had to do with an energized voter base, gathering in town meetings to put serious pressure on the Congress…which is mentioned in BOTH of the strategies that I talked about in the last post. As it turns out, Congress doesn't like to be yelled at, or held accountable for their actions, or actually have to face those who pay their salaries and keep them ensconced in Washington.
There are LOADS of YouTube vids of Republican town hall meetings (including one from that Southern Boll Weevil, Mitch McConnel) being disrupted by voters from their precincts and states, who are PISSED at the way Congress is dealing with the Affordable Care Act. The "fact" that many probably don't know that "Obama Care" and "the Affordable Care Act" are one in the same, is beside the point. But hey…the outcome was the same.
So I opine, that Congress was made to feel uncomfortable (and to a degree accountable), and they made their Commander in Tweet aware that he had to do something about it.
Reason #2? Enter the "power of a daughter to change a Dad." I know this power first-hand, as a father of five daughters. I can tell you without question, that if I was left to run my life unchecked by their opinions, I would be a far more horrible, cranky person than I am today. It is heavily reported that Ivanka had a great deal to do with softening up his speech, as well as keeping topics that appeal to women in the agenda (Child Care, Equal Pay, Unfair removal of Melania's fashions from retailers). Ok. I made that last one up. Ivanka clearly doesn't wear the Melania Fashion Line. But, the "softer, more reflective, Donald" was a clear reflection of taking advice from the one "handler" that actually has his ear…Ivanka.
The Tweet Moratorium lasted exactly two days. He has a flurry of "thank you" tweets, and handful about the HUGE bump in the Stock Market (which is clearly a Trump Bump…no denying it), and then all hell broke out with the Sessions debacle.
For Full Context- Read These from the BOTTOM Up…and watch him become unhinged…
Yes. You read that right. In just a few days, he went from bragging about the gains in the stock market (valid), to calling for an investigation into Shumer/Palosi ties to Russia (insanely transparent), to accusing Obama of wire-tapping illegally (pfffttt…silly by any standards), to taking another poke at Arnold Schwarzenegger, who by this time must be ready to hand in his "Republican Card" and call it a day.
What does this pattern show? A man who is clearly unhinged, wildly ill-informed about the limitations of his power, and without question, the most "UN-Presidential" President to hold office since Harding.
I actually watched a couple of interviews with President Bush II, on Ellen and Jimmy Kimmel this week, and found myself MISSING the Bush Administration!
The World of our Commander in Tweet has come completely off of the rails. Congress, his daughter, and anyone else who has control over any shred of common sense this guy possesses (his hair stylist??), need to reel him in.
Or. Not.
In fact…I am back to applauding the fluidity of insanity that comes from this guy's phone in the early hours of every day. Like Kimmel has pointed out, he has to be doing this during his early morning "ritual bowel cleansing," because the time of the posts, and his busy schedule don't allow him any other time. Maybe he is actually only half-awake…and is "Sleep Tweeting." At least that would make sense. Perhaps his Rogaine/Spray Tan chemical cocktails are messing with his sleep habits. Who knows? Let him Tweet. It reveals the @realDonaldTrump like nothing else does.
STEP ONE is EASY. Follow Trump on Twitter.
That's right you Boomer Luddites. It's time to join the world and figure out that the best strategy for beating an enemy is knowing his every move…and Twitter is Trump's soft underbelly of reality. It IS the "realDonaldTrump" like nothing else is. Books, documentaries, and countless blogs will be dedicated to the unraveling of his Presidency by Twitter. Let him have it…and follow along.
Don't rely on Kimmel, or Colbert, or Samantha Bee, or even John Oliver, or any other comedian type (sorry, this is where Michael Moore and I profoundly disagree), to dictate the flow of information. It's right there…first hand…in real time…as it happens. YOU need to take responsibility for your flow of information and facts. GET ENGAGED…don't just watch.
DO IT TODAY. Get the app. Sign Up. And FOLLOW him @realDonaldTrump. You will be amazed.
Steps Two and Three are a bit more complicated…but have already been proven to work in the past two weeks. So…get ready to be an activist. I will be posting these on Monday. So come back…check the blog…and get ready to get your "Activist Pants" on.
Time to get to work. Time to figure out how to make technology work for the PEOPLE.
Let's Make America Trumpless Again…

How to Write a 1000 Word Essay and Get A+?
Essay writing is an integral part of academia. But let's face it: now all assignments are a smooth ride. When that time to write a 1000-word essay comes, it always feels like the most difficult task a learner will ever encounter. A thousand words often sound like too much to fathom, and one wonders how long it would take to complete such a perceivably long writing journey.
For a rookie, being able to mutter words enough to fill up white space often brings to the fore many other questions. Amount of space such many words would fill is often an issue of concern. Will it take two pages, three or four? While the internet may help with finding answers to these questions, students should find a trustworthy source of knowledge on which to rely going forward.
In this post, we help you find solutions to the above pressing issues. Whether you are looking for a precise answer to the amount of time one needs to complete a 1000-word essay or an estimation of time you would spend doing it, keep reading to learn more. But before we proceed any further, consider the following too:
- A thousand-word essay remains so even if you approach it with a definitive mood of 'I don't want to do this' or 'I think I can give it a try.'
- Some days, despite thinking you can do it, sitting down to begin a write-up isn't easy. One ends up staring at a black page with no ideas coming through the pen. That's when you've got to look for a source of motivation. Would a coffee break help or a stroll in the park? Well, give it a try because chances are always high that it may be the magic wand you need unleash wildest spasms of creativity.
Tips to get you started: Writing a 1000-word essay and getting an A+
The internet is replete with topics for 1000 words essays, but that is only for those who believe in everything they come across. For a critical-minded student, a reputed essay site is always the place to be and learn from the best writers and experts. Now, with this at the back of your mind, take a look at all you need to know to write a perfect essay.
• Decide on a topic
You may want to start by asking, "Must a topic always be unique?" Well, that depends on a teacher's instructions. However, it is not every day that students get directed to topics on an essay site. Sometimes an opportunity to choose a subject or title is the best bet on a writing assignment. However, a question about the best topic is often a challenging one. You may need to ask help from research paper writer services.
The truth is that, with so many information sources such as the internet and libraries, deciding on a topic that befits a 1000-word essay is the first and most critical step going forward. You may want to pick one from online topic prompts, use research paper writer services or engage a classmate for a heated debate on a good essay topic, and that's okay. However, take caution not to fall into a trap where writing themes that appeal to your emotions win. Should that be the case, an essayist risks losing objectivity.
• You need a writing outline
Before putting pen to paper or fingers to keyboard, every student should, first of all, have an essay outline. It is the outlook or skeleton that will guide your craft from start to conclusion. In a good outline, there are main subtopics that will guide a writing process. Most importantly, it is all you need to steer clear of veering off the topic.
• A definitive essay structure makes all the difference
Structuring a 1000-word essay is the next step. It is always about having an introductory part of a paper, body and then a concluding paragraph. At the beginning, it is advisable that a student aims to arouse attention in would-be readers. It is because powerful introductions, experts opine, hook readers even to pieces they would have otherwise not read.
In the body of an essay, which is essentially the largest section, a writing outline becomes indispensable. It is time you write down facts, opinions and data together with supporting ideas. There is no other way to writing a comprehensive 1000-word essay if not by using clear-cut topic statements supported by very comprehensive details.
When it comes to crafting concluding paragraphs, there are many ways to go about it. You can choose to highlight salient facts in your write-up or present original points and ideas to sum it up. With the help of a top essay site where you can get sample 500-word essays, learning from the best literary materials will help you wind up a write-up powerfully.
• Get inspired but steer clear of plagiarism
Plagiarism, however tempting it seems, is a real threat to academic excellence. It is a literary crime. But save for penalties that come with it, writing a 1000-words essay with the help of research paper writer services shouldn't be a big deal if you tread a path of originality. It is not only about being a responsible student who respects works of others but also someone who understands that with an inspiration to write, you can do more in less time.
Moreover, have you ever thought about how writing an original paper, sometimes not necessarily hiring an essay site, can make for a great masterpiece contribution to the literary world? Well, inspiration and originality are two to tango when it comes to writing, but a fact that unique essays create new avenues for exploring a topic further is novelty.
Important questions to ask
Thus far and before concluding on this post, it is imperative student get answers to frequently asked questions about writing long essays. Here is a quick run-through:
• How many pages do 1000 words fill?
With the help of a word counter online, it shouldn't be a difficult question. However, take note that factors such as font size, spacing, margins and paragraphs' lengths often play significance. Research writer services often sum all these up into writing styles such as MLA, APA, Harvard, Chicago and Turabian. It would, therefore, mean that depending on whether your university recommends 275, 300 or 250 words per page, length of a 1000 words essay often varies.
• How long does it take to finish writing 1000 words?
In essay composition, whether you are doing it alone or with the help of research paper writer services, time is crucial. However, like it is with number of pages, there are factors that play significance here. From typing ability, comprehension skills, research to planning, you can either spend an hour or more crafting a 1000-word essay. If you want to, for example, spend 30 minutes writing 150 words it means, one would write 300 words in an hour. Now add thirty minutes to every fixed amount of words (150) every half an hour, and it turns out that for a 1000-word paper it should take you 200 minutes.
• How many paragraphs should a 1000-word essay contain?
Proper paragraphing in a write-up is key to readability. It is advisable to avoid large text blocks. And while creativity and structure of an essay play significance here, a recommendable paragraph count for such amount of words is eight and not more. However, it shouldn't be less than 5 paragraphs.
Final Words
In a nutshell, writing long essays like one with a word count of 1000 requires comprehensive planning and a carefully planned process. Choose as many topics as possible, narrow down to three then decide on the best one. There are lots of 1000-word essay topics online from which to choose. Also, take note that different types of essays, such as narrative, expository, persuasive and descriptive, require varying approaches.

Demonstrate personal and social responsibility associated with creating, performing, and responding to dramatic works
by Kerry Hishon
When teaching students who are brand new to theatre, it's important to discuss and apply the expectations of the drama classroom and the theatrical world. How do you implement and instill theatre etiquette in your classroom and your rehearsals – before a show and backstage? A cohesive theatrical community starts with the rules and codes of behaviour both onstage and off.
Topics covered within the unit include: What is Etiquette, Real World vs Theatre World Etiquette, Audience Etiquette, Audition Etiquette, Pre-Show and Performance Etiquette. The unit ends with a culminating activity which included a rubric and reflection.
by Kerry Hishon
Instructor Kerry Hishon is an actor, director, writer, and stage combatant with years of experience in youth theatre. Her course, Theatre Etiquette 101, is designed to help students be successful in their theatrical journeys.
When teaching students who are brand new to theatre, it's important to discuss and apply the expectations of the drama classroom and the theatrical world.
This course starts by explaining "what is theatre etiquette", and then moves through every step in the production process from audition to post-show recovery.
Every module has tips for both you and your students, classroom exercises, rehearsal exercises, and reflections. There are also printable posters included to use in your classroom or backstage.
by Steven Stack
Have you ever wondered how in the world you can have a successful theatre classroom with so many variables that you have absolutely no control over?

This course by Steven Stack explores that wonderful and often ridiculous world of theatre classrooms while giving you the tools for you and your students to not only succeed but to flourish as well.
Lessons will include how to make any size class the Goldilocks class as in "just right", defining and working with all types of students you may encounter in your classroom, the seven must-haves of any theatre class, and the importance of structure in the theatre classroom by providing a guideline for setting up your day-to-day class time.
The course also provides tons of ideas, games and activities that you can use instantly in your classroom. So, if you're a first-time theatre teacher or one just looking for new ideas, this is the course for you.
by Steven Stack
Why should you take a class on empathy? And why is theatre the perfect vehicle for empathy?
Empathy, the more sought-after and inclusive cousin of sympathy, is the experiencing of someone else's experience in the world. What it would be like if you were wearing their clothes, their life?
Teaching students to understand the clothes that they're putting on, the characters and their lives teaches students not how to act but how to be. It allows the students to feel what someone else feels and experiences, which can and should translate to their fellow actors and peers away from the stage. It will lead to a stronger class connection, stronger performances and stronger students who will seek out understanding instead of isolation and fear.
by James Van Leishout
In this course, James Van Leishout explores why students should direct, and covers the first two tools in the director's toolbox: self and the script. What background should every director have? Why should they learn to love research? What should happen in the first four reads of a script?
With every step along the way, there will be exercises and activities your student directors can take on before they step into the rehearsal process.
by Matt Webster
Instructor Matt Webster believes that Story Theatre is one of the most creative, most imaginative, most unique forms of theatre ever to make its way to the stage. His course introduces the style of theatre called story theatre, explores the steps needed to choose the best stories to perform, explains how to adapt a story into a script, and demonstrates a variety of story theatre styles from simple and contained to complex and crazy and everything in between.
When you are finished with this course, you'll be able to bring nearly any story to any stage and present it to any audience. That is the power and promise of story theatre. Learn how to bring the page to the stage.
by Michael Calderone
This seven-part series is designed to transform that gaggle of actors cluttering your backstage from cumbersome extras into nothing less than the very center of your production.
Instructor Michael Calderone leads this course, through games and exercises geared to maximize your ensemble for your next production. These lessons are based on the ensemble technique that he's been using for the last 30 years, called the shoestring method.
The ensemble has a responsibility to work as one, and no role is more important than another. Without each actor playing their part, the other actors cannot tell the story to the best of their abilities. So join Michael in learning more about this exciting, practical and dramatic method.
by Julie Hartley
Shakespeare is one of the greatest resources a drama teacher can have: scenes packed with action; opportunities to explore comedy and physical theatre; rich themes and characters to act as springboards for devised theatre; the chance to work with our language at its finest and – most importantly – ideas that relate directly to the experiences and preoccupations of students.
Yet Shakespeare isn't easy. The language can seem dense, and finding a way in can be tough – especially for drama teachers who have not themselves studied Shakespeare. That's the goal of this course – to help teachers find a way in.
This course presents teachers with as many ways in to the exploration of Shakespeare as possible. Action scenes, themes, characters, different theatre styles, and devised theatre projects. Students will be armed with the tools they need to begin individually exploring monologues, or working together on scenes.
by Lindsay Price
Adaptation is a fabulous classroom project: it requires students to analyze, adapt, modify, plan synthesize, devise. All the higher order thinking skills.
But you can't just throw a narrator into a script and call it a day. You have to have a preparation process leading up to the writing process.
In this course you will learn practical exercises and a path to prepare your students to take on their own adaptation project. We'll look at the guidelines to adaptation, things to think about when choosing a text, how to analyze the source material and writing that first draft.
So join me, Lindsay Price, in the Play Adaptation Project.

Brought to you by instructor Steven Stack, creator of The Empathetic Classroom, this course looks at ways to move on from the worldwide pandemic, while honoring the past and learning from it. In the past year, students had many things taken from them: school, hanging out with friends, freedom, hope, and innocence.
With this course, each session will highlight one specific topic relating to moving on. There will also be activities for each session that will help your students own the past, embrace their own and others' narratives and scars, create a stronger classroom community, find ways to be where their feet are planted, and learn to play again.

This course is about the fact that so-called soft skills are sought after and highly valued in professional work environments, educational settings, and in everyday social interactions. They're valuable life skills, but we can't always identify these skills within a standard educational setting, and yet, they are incredibly useful in education and beyond. That's why it's important to be able to identify these soft skills in the classroom and in the educational process and to recognize that these soft skills are being taught every day in the drama curriculum. We need to concentrate our efforts into making sure that these skills are identified and utilized within our classrooms. They are built into every arts curriculum a school offers, especially the theater arts.

Columbia, MD (PRWEB) November 10, 2016 -- A new subscription box launching on Kickstarter is hoping to not only teach old dogs a few new tricks, but the entire family. Good Dog in a Box is trying to lessen the almost 4 million dogs a year that end up at animal shelters, by reaching and teaching the next generation of pet owners, children between the ages of 5 and 12. The company's new product launch is coinciding this week with National Animal Shelter Appreciation Week in an effort to draw attention to the more than 1.2 million dogs euthanized each year in shelters, of which 96% had no type of obedience training.
"I've been volunteering with shelters for over fifteen years," says Jenn Merritt, CPDT-KA, professional dog trainer and cofounder of Good Dog in a Box. "The majority of dogs that are given up by their families are good dogs, but they lack the skills needed to be good members of their families. Our new products have been designed to give families the tools and training they need to help address this problem."
Good Dog in a Box uses reward based dog training with dog bite prevention in a fun and engaging monthly delivery to subscriber's homes and computers. The curriculum is designed to educate families on how to read dog body language, teach basic obedience skills, and get all ages involved in the care and responsibility of being a dog owner. "The goal was to make learning fun for everyone in the family, including the dog," said Merritt.
"We had discussed different ways of getting Jenn's message of reward based training to a larger audience, but could never find the right vehicle," says Kim Merritt-Butler, Jenn's sister and cofounder of Good Dog in a Box. It wasn't until a chance encounter in September of 2015, that she got the idea for a subscription box.
Over the next year and two months, the Merritts would work with one sister in the US and one sister in Canada, communicating via Facetime Messenger, to develop the curriculum. From a card game called Dog Smart, an idea that came from Merritt-Butler's experience homeschooling her children, to a combination of live action and animated video, featuring the cartoon likenesses of sister Jenn, her dogs Royal and Bernie, and over nineteen children, the monthly materials are filled with unique and engaging ways to teach dog safety and pet owner responsibility to children.
The company's Kickstarter launched Thursday, November 10th, with the goal of $40,000. "We're very optimistic due to pre-launch testing and reviews from professional dog trainers," said Merritt-Butler. Colleen Pelar, CPDT-KA, CDBC, professional dog trainer and author of "Living with Kids and Dogs…Without Losing Your Mind" said, "Good Dog in a Box is a great idea. I love the emphasis on compassion and gentle training."
Kickstarter perks include the Dog Smart Card Game, three different subscription combinations, and the ability to have a child and a family dog made into cartoon characters to be included in upcoming month's materials.
Good Dog in a Box is taking pre-orders through the end of November with plans to begin shipping in late December/early January. The Merritt sisters are hopeful this company takes off, but it isn't all about the money. "We believe that education is the key for helping families and their dogs live better lives together," says Jenn Merritt. "We're providing families with a new way to understand and learn about their family dog. If that can keep family dogs out of shelters, we've accomplished our goal."

Anyone else pumped about this? The television show seems like it's not complete shit and the video game feels like an MMO Borderlands, which is awesome.
Here's some space ships from the series:
From what I can gather, it's set 30-40 years in the future after the above mentioned space ships showed up. We kicked their asses, but in the process they (nuked?) terraformed a portion of the planet and there's a huge graveyard of "ark" ships floating around our planet. The television show follows a guy that's an ark hunter but gets pulled into being responsible for a small border town. In the video game you play a fellow ark hunter that's hunting down arks as their orbits decay and they crash land on the surface.
Lots of fun guns and FPS shit. Not sure if I'm interested in pre-ordering though.

When Merops changes the text in a document, it makes that change as a 'tracked change'. Tracked changes are a feature of Microsoft Word that enable you to revert individual changes to their original text.
You can learn more about Microsoft Word tracked changes here.
Sometimes Merops will not be able to automatically standardize a term, because there is information missing, some of the information is ambiguous, or something may need to be rewritten. In these cases, Merops can alert the user to the problem so they can fix it. Examples of comments include:
Merops also uses comments instead of tracked in places where a tracked change would be difficult to read. This includes paragraph return deletions, and paragraph sorting.
You can learn more about Microsoft Word comments here.
If bold, italic or underline format have been used to represent an entire heading or title, Merops strips them out to ensure the paragraph style is carried into the typesetting environment in its 'purest' form. However, where an author has used bold or italic to emphasize individual words or phrases within a paragraph, these are preserved.
Although there are some simple corrections and changes that Merops can make, for example correcting 'this data' to 'these data', and making text more concise by changing 'because of the fact that' to 'because', Merops generally limits it's grammar rules to inserting comments, like alerting colloquialisms, or long sentences or paragraphs. Merops won't rewrite long sentences for you, or help you if what you have written doesn't make sense.

Karl Lagerfeld designs for Barbie & Ken
The House of Chanel and their leading designer Karl Lagerfeld joined the major celebrations marking Barbie's 50th birthday.
He commissioned a special Barbie and Ken exhibit in the windows of Colette in Paris. Lagerfeld dressed Barbie in some of his signature gloves, top fashion shoes and elegant Chanel dresses.
In the photoshoot made to mark the event, Barbie poses in swimsuit, cocktail dresses, jeans and wedding dress striking a sexy pose alongside Chanel model Baptiste Giabiconi as Ken.
Man, though Barbie is 50, I'm kind of envious of her, he's so cute. Barbie is 50, he's no more than 25, looks like Madonna and Jesus Luz. Oh Gosh!
Back to the point. The exhibition will be on display from March 9th to March 28th along with the very first Barbie dolls made 50 years ago.
I love the way Barbie looks in Karl Lagerfeld's gowns. She's so chic and so elegant. Barbie knows how to get old gracefully!

[Spoilers] Season 12 Discussion ThreadThey definitely all seem quite close knit. I don't know if anybody else could confirm this, but the two tapings I attended, I noticed that Jim and Kaley were very close between takes... they would seek each other out and be laughing quite a lot - they hugged a lot and she would go over to him whilst he was reading his flash cards. Mayim seemed to gravitate towards Simon, Melissa and Kunal whereas Johnny was talking to the crew and Bill Prady quite a lot. As I say, this was only what I noticed on two tapings and generally speaking, they al seemed very friendly with each other during takes. Would be interested to know what regular attendees noted [emoji2] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I immediately thought it would be emotional crying because of the wedding. Raj is definitely the type who balls at weddings!
If you adjust the contrast on this, you can partially see some text: I can make out that Koothrapali has one of the last lines and the stage direction says 'starting to cry'...
Information For Attending A Big Bang Theory Taping
Tenji replied to fitzsimmons's topic in Season 11When I went I got in line just before midday. If the taping is busy and the cast/crew have guests there is a possibility you won't get in. At midday there were about 15 people ahead of me and it got really busy at about 1pm. However, I've only been once so perhaps that was an exception... I did the tour the day before instead as it's about 3hrs long.
There is a Tumblr post I have found with more information. I have no idea how to link that but Leonard went on Science Friday to be interviewed and it went badly. He gets in trouble with Mrs Davis about it. Credit to Shamybabboos Tumblr.
Mhmm. Spoke to my friend again and I think they got confused! I think it sounds like Leonard was interviewed on radio about something and it didn't go well. Not sure where they got the funding thing from. I think the SM account was in a different language...
A friend told me they saw something on social media (not sure where) about 11x02... a plot about grants/funding that Leonard goes for. That's all I have unfortunately. But better than nothing at all! I'm a teacher too!
But I guess the point is that all of these snipes and quips are meant to be jokes. That is the preferred reading that the writers are aiming for (as it is a comedy). But as with all comedy, it is rather subjective. Where you might feel they are not jokes, I do. I find Leonard's jokes about Sheldon amusing. I also find Sheldon's comments about Leonard's supposed (in his eyes) shortcomings amusing.
But Leonard consistently makes jokes at Sheldon's expense too. Even the last episode there were a few about Sheldon being annoying and not funny etc... you can pretty much pick any episode to see Leonard saying stuff like this.
I know what you mean... it can sometimes become repetitive but I don't mind a few of those gags as Penny doesn't seem that upset and she has always shown pride in the fact that guys have always been into her (and there's nothing wrong with that!). I think all of the characters give as good as they get which is great!
Nope! You're not the only one. As far as I'm concerned, if you took out all the sniping and 'ripping the piss' as we say in my neck of the woods, you'd have a pretty boring comedy.
Ship Zone [Spoilers] Shamy: Season 10I might be wrong but it sounded like his Interest was piqued by the fact she worked on the CERN project...
Nobody literally said it and that, I would imagine, is why Wowbagger said that it 'seems' to be.
That's what I thought and even then it reads as a simile so he is speaking figuratively as opposed to literally.
I'm confused. How is going swimming with someone a date!? I thought the 'play date' comment was a simile that Sheldon used. Why are a few people trying to suggest Sheldon cheated in this episode!? I'm genuinely curious if this is actually what some people believe.

PG&E's California Gas Transmission is pleased to welcome a new Account Manager to our front-line team. Neil Bhakta joined CGT right at the start of the year. Neil comes to us from PG&E's San Jose Call Center, where he was a Residential Account Manager. He's a graduate of UC Berkeley and prior to joining PG&E, Neil taught high school mathematics.
We're excited to have Neil on our team and, in a short time, he'll be coming to a phone near you!
(By the way, you may notice that we've changed our titles. CGT's Account Services Representatives are now known as "Account Managers." Different title, same great service!)

These Kingman Turquoise nugget beads are:
Quantity: One 16″ strand (about 45 beads)
Shape: Smooth nugget oval shape
Size: 7-10mm (little nuggets!)
Weight: 114ct
Quality: Well, what can you say? It's genuine, natural, Kingman Turquoise nugget beads. How do I know? Well because I have a friend who travels across Arizona regularly and is willing to stop off and dig up a couple of spectacular specimens for me every now and then. These are handpicked for their color, consistency and cut, as well as being selected for their value & price range. These ROCK! This strand in particular (as you can see in the image) has just enough classic Kingman brown matrix and is a shockingly blue green turquoise color. This is a truly fantastic strand. All Kingman Turquoise is all stabilized onsite, and so this is a stabilized strand. The stones are not perfectly smooth (as is often the case with turquoise) – but as you can see – these are quite stellar. If you're looking for something rare & special – you've just found it!
The beads in the image are the beads you'll receive.

Lunchtime: Rodeo BurgerJanuary 20, 2011

Who will make the cut? The question was unavoidable in the wake of the Seahawks' preseason finale.
Branden Jackson put his hard hat on and went to work.
No, literally. The Seahawks' second-year defensive end went to Lowe's this week to buy home supplies, and left with a neon yellow construction vest and a white hard hat instead. He bought the set because he knew it would match his lime green sneakers.
But that wasn't the only reason.
"It's the last preseason game," he said with a wide smile. "You've got to bring your hard hat."
The 6-foot-4, 295-pound Jackson did just that on Thursday, to the tune of three tackles and one tackle for loss in the Seahawks' 30-19 defeat to the Oakland Raiders. Quinton Jefferson, who Jackson continues to battle at the strong side defensive end position, added two tackles in defeat.
"I took my game up a notch because I have to," Jackson said. "With Quinton in here, me and Q are pushing each other — two guys from Pittsburgh who know each other, longtime friends. But when it comes to football we're playing the same position. We're battling for the same spot, and we've got guys like Dion (Jordan) who will be back and he's going to be in the mix.
"So it's just fighting for position and trying to prove your worth. There was no time to slow down, especially because Seattle is known to reload. So we knew it was going to be a battle. I'm really interested to see how the rest of this weekend turns out."
That's because Saturday is cut-down day for the Seahawks and the rest of the NFL, meaning that each organization must trim its roster from 90 to 53 players by 1 p.m. Jackson — who made 11 tackles in 12 games with the Seahawks last season — is likely safe, especially considering Jordan's ongoing injury situation.
Still, the third-year pro — who went undrafted in 2016 and began his career with the aforementioned Oakland Raiders — understands what it feels like to teeter on the fringe of a roster spot.
"It's a feeling you really can't explain, man," Jackson said. "It's a deep gut feeling — uncertainty. It's terrible. From a guy like me who has made a cut and has also been cut, this time around I'm a lot more level-headed and a lot more confident in my play, especially because of what I've done. So I'm just going into this with a clear mind, knowing I gave them everything I could. I think it'll play out the way that I want it to.
"If anybody else needs to know how it feels to be cut or be signed, I'm the perfect guy to talk to."
Austin Calitro is another expert. The second-year linebacker — who finished second on the Seahawks with five tackles and a sack on Thursday — bounced around four different NFL rosters last season. It appears he may stick in Seattle, however, as Calitro has solidified himself as a competent middle linebacker backup to all-pro veteran Bobby Wagner.
"Bobby and K.J. (Wright) took me under their wing right away, and I was very thankful," Calitro said. "Bobby has been a great mentor, and I've tried to emulate my game after him a little bit. Hopefully it's showing.
"The linebacker room is very welcoming, and it was a great opportunity for me."
The 6-0, 240-pound Calitro has made the most of that opportunity, but there's no guarantee it'll result in a roster spot.
"It's not my decision," he said, "but I put my best foot forward and that's really all I could have done at this point."
The goal, in essence, is to earn an opportunity to put a hard hat on and go back to work next week.
"I feel like I did what I was supposed to do here," Jackson said. "I don't really concern myself with decisions I can't control. I feel like, at the end of the day, Seattle gave me an opportunity when no one else did. I came on and made some plays and they welcomed me. And throughout this camp they welcomed me. I've had endless opportunities.
"Whatever they decide, I'm sure it'll be what's best for them and I'll deal with the rest when it comes."
Stringfellow wins big
Damore'ea Stringfellow can't really explain what it feels like to score.
"At that moment I can't say there was too much going through my head," said Stringfellow, the second-year Seahawk wide receiver who ran past Raiders cornerback Raysean Pringle on a go route for an 81-yard touchdown.
"Just … I won. You fight so hard every play. You win some. You lose some. When you finally get that shot, I did my job, I won and I celebrated with my family."
Granted, there probably have not been enough wins for the 6-2, 209-pound Stringfellow to land on the Seahawks' 53-man roster. But Thursday's highlight may have cleared the way for a spot on the practice squad.
And that's no small feat, considering that there are currently 13 Seahawk wide receivers essentially vying for five or six spots on the active roster. The team would likely only carry two more receivers on the 10-man practice squad.
Will one be Stringfellow? He'll find out sooner than later.
"It's great competition," Stringfellow said of the crowded wide receivers room. "Every day you have to bring your hard hat to work, and you learn from these guys every day. You learn from mistakes, from wins. It's just a great atmosphere to be around guys that you know are going to bring it every day, that you know are going to push you to be your best."
There's that hard hat again.
