What about puppy farming
6th September 2015 Uncategorised
I think there is a misconception of what many calls "Puppy Farmer".
What is a Puppy farmer? I am sure we would agree on the term; Anyone who breeds dogs for profit.
They say they are LICENSED BREEDERS. Hmmmm, really? License or no license breeding dogs for profit is farming nothing else. There isn't a true letter in breeder. When we are talking about BREEDING that means making more of that particular something. In this case making more dogs. We can breed grains or other living things too and we do it for profit of course, but we usually use the word -breeding to mean some sort of animal. Horse, fish, dogs, cats, etc.
So is there a true breeder or every breeder is a farmer? I think if we are talking about dog breeding the only "true" breeder would be someone who has a champion dog and breed her once perhaps twice in her life to preserve the quality of that one particular dog. Not motivated by profit like the so called "licensed breeders" aka "puppy farmers".
In the UK there are a lot of "licensed breeders". They are also up in arms against anybody that has a dog and the dog gives birth. They see it as a threat to their livelihood as that person with the dog might be just a regular Joe whos dog happened to get pregnant, but still, they think he takes their business away by selling his pups to people that otherwise might buy one from these so called "licensed breeders", aka puppy farmers.
These "licensed breeders" are also running a huge negative campaign against import dogs which also threatens their livelihood because import dog sellers offer cheaper and healthier dogs than the ones they have.
The United Kingdom had dog import restrictions with very long quarantine time for decades, which stopped the importation of dogs from outside of the UK and created about 10-15% of genetically altered dogs due to inbreeding. Fortunately more and more people in the UK are realizing the need for fresh bloodline and buy import dogs instead. (this includes some responsible "licensed breeders" too).
UK Pet classified websites only allow the average Joe to advertise puppies for sale twice per year (or two litters per year) using the excuse of stopping PUPPY FARMING. But, BUT if you are a "licensed breeder" you can submit the copy of your license to the site owner and they allow you to sell as many as you have. Interesting? Sure is. Letting promoting puppy farming among breeders (farmers) Hypocrisy at work. I am sure these sites are owned by one or more "licensed breeders" or else there would be no letting one advertise as many as they have and restricting the others.
All I can advise is Next time if you are planning to buy a dog, buy your next dog from an average Joe rather then a breeder (farmer). You probably end up with a healthier pup that is coming from a more loving and caring environment. Don't support puppy farming by buying from a so called "licensed breeder"
We've purchased two Yorkies about 8 years ago from a so called (reputable) licensed breeder and both of them have schizophrenic seizures. One has it about twice per month and the other once about every other month. I am suspecting they are also blood related, because of the decades long ban of import dogs in the UK created many inbreed dogs. I am almost certain they are brother/sister regardless of the one month difference in birth date on their pedigree. Yes they are both pedigree and kc registered dogs from a licensed breeder ( puppy farmer).
Most people don't need to have their dogs kc registered and don't even need pedigree since they only want a family pet. Never going to enter them into contests and shows. Why pay more and more importantly, why pay more to a puppy farmer?
Don't think all puppy farmers operating out of sheds and pig pens. many of them have very nice clean setups at home with underfloor heating and tiled walls, proper drainage and feeding and drinking facilities, regular Vet visits to the farm or they drive the pups to the vets, but if they breed the dogs (or cats) for profit regardless of the nice setup they are still puppy farmers.

When I was 3yrs old I suffered a head injury which led to me having epileptic seizures every day. I had to take high doses of medication and attend hospitals to be tested and investigated which I hated. Later, in addition to epilepsy and brain injury, I was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome which means that I find it difficult understanding social things that people take for granted such as how others think and feel, particularly in relationships.
My life started to change when I was 16yrs and bought a guitar. I became facinated with music and began to play bass guitar. I still had to take my medication daily as it controlled my epilepsy, even though it made me tired and hard to concentrate.
I studied performing arts and musical theatre at school and then moved from home to a college in Gloucestershire which supported Asperger students as, although my parents were and are wonderful, they lived in a remote part of the country which I found boring and dull. I needed to be with people of my own age and live my dream of becoming a rock star.
After three years residential college, I moved to a shared flat with OPENhouse. At the same time I succeeded in gaining a place at Stroud College studying a National Certificate in Music Technology. OPENhouse staff helped me to work out a support plan that made sure I paid my bills, kept my flat safe/tidy and attended college. At the beginning, I did not want to acknowledge or accept that I had Asperger's or Epilepsy. I would not talk about my worries or attend hospital appointments. Eventually, OPENhouse staff encouraged me to deal with these issues directly. I went to see a consultant who reviewed and reassured me about my epilepsy and I learned about Asperger's and what I needed to do and think about to make relationships work. I learned to talk to staff and share my fears, frustrations and dreams. I studied hard taking extra guitar lessons twice a week to develop my guitar skills and apply for Rock School guitar grading.
My confidence grew and in 2011, I was offered places by two leading music colleges. I eventually accepted Access to Music in Bristol where I am currently studying Level III Performance Musician and Songwriting.
I moved to a flat in Bristol Sept 2011 and find it hard to believe I have achieved so much. I plan to continue studying music to degree level and eventually pursue a career as a music session artist.

A Valentines Day surprize
By Leonie Mervis
On my calendar, the 14th of February was circled with a big red heart, not because I had an exciting date planned or was expecting any gifts from secret admirers, but because it was the day that Milo's February Lucky Dog Box would arrive!
On arrival, the box was greeted by bouncing and happy tail wagging spins, that increased at a rapid rate as I lowered Milo's box onto the floor. I subscribed to Lucky Dog 4 months ago, so it is not surprising that my 2 year old brakkie, Milo could recognize the difference between a Lucky dog box and an ordinary cardboard one – or perhaps it was the layers of delicious aromas wafting out between the flaps! 3 boxes on, Milo has also perfected the art of opening his box all by himself. That's right, he has learnt to take the sticky tape off and open the flap – very cute! Once opened Milo went straight for the Ricky Litchfield biscuits. What can I say, he isobsessed with food! Now I must say these biscuits are yum, with an amazing black current buchu smell – in fact I have to stop myself eating one every time I open the box. After he had polished off a few biscuits he moved on to the Pedigree dentastix chews, which he ate in such record time, that I think they had little chance to actually clean his teeth! Digging a bit deeper in the box I found what had to be my favourite gift of the month – a gorgeous collar charm from Superstar Paws. I've never thought of buying jewelery for my dog, but now I am converted. Milo looked so handsome in his bling bone. It clipped on easily to his collar and now he can go swaggering up to all the ladies in style! Next to the bling was a bottle of Pets Sponge shampoo – you know, you need to smell good if you are going to charm the ladies! Now, having a bath is not one of Milo's favourite things, so to his relief I decided not to use it, not because I wanted to ruin the happy mood, but rather because I was worried about upsetting his natural skin treatment program. Hopefully there is a lady out there for him that likes her boys a bit stinky! The rest of Valentines Day was spent playing fetch with Milo's second favorite gift, a cuteheart-shaped soft toy from Lucky Dog – a great addition to celebrate the day of love. The best thing is that next month we get to repeat this day of happiness and surprises all over again. It's like Valentine's day and Christmas all rolled into one!

This tiny spot was once the Blue Goose—now it's just the Goose. Why? Because it doesn't mess with Texas lawyers.
It doesn't mess with Texas at all, serving up instead the Hatch-heavy cuisine of New Mexico. And amid a new crop of New Mexican spots, the Goose is the most ambitious without sacrificing the food's casual flavor.
The Hatch chile burger, smothered in cheddar cheese that leaks out onto the plate, is American excess that reaches bold new heights in both savor and goop. Not just the cheese but the burger itself melts into impossible richness.
It also coats your fingers, but no worries: The dish comes with a wet wipe wrapped in the American flag. The burrito ($12.50) comes equally stuffed with Hatch heat and flavor, and is equally overwhelming in its excess. But for the most intense and rewarding flavors, go for tacos, $7.50 for a pair and wrapped in flavorful house corn tortillas.
Of the current taco crop, the best are the pork belly and chevre—a tender-on-tender combo that melts under poblano crema and sweet onion—and the citric carne adobada.
The Goose's beef brisket currently has a salt problem when paired with equally salty cotija cheese, so avoid it on both the enchilada and an otherwise stellar taco menu. Get your salt on the rim of a margarita instead.
Pro tip: Daily drink specials may include niceties like serrano-spiked melon margaritas, but the prickly pear is always available and should be the first taste on your tongue when you arrive: sweet and naggingly singular.
GO: 2725 SE Ankeny St., 235-2222. 5-10 pm Tuesday-Thursday, 5 pm-midnight Friday and Saturday. $$.

I was born in Hollywood, California on May 31,1986. I grew up in East Los Angeles where I attended Abraham Lincoln High School but I began to be attracted to science as a corollary to mathematics due to the fact that LAUSD curriculum for the first 7 to 8 grades contains little science material. At Lincoln High School I found that the science curriculum was richer and I became interested in Chemistry and Physics. About this time I stumbled upon a book on Richard Feynman and I became intrigued at how different he was from my preconceived notion of who a physicist was. Feynman was vibrant and energetic; he lived life with a passion. I felt like I could relate to Feynman and could only hope to become as accomplished as him. I started to self-study Calculus and became part of a chemistry research program at California State University, Los Angeles. I learned how research was conducted in academia and realized that it was something that I could pursue for the rest of my life. I am attending MIT in the fall where I plan to major in physics and hope to be involved in a few Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program projects.
I also enjoy skateboarding which has been a continuous part of my life for the last 9 years. Skateboarding allows me to take a break from the academic side of my life and just relax. The occasional injury while skateboarding is also a cathartic. I am a big fan of many different types of music. Music I enjoy include Guns N Roses, Beethoven, Muddy Waters, Stevie Ray Vaughn, and The Cure. I collect Vinyl records of 80s punk bands, and play guitar.

We tailor policies to suit individual circumstances and can include the following aspects of insurance coverage within our range of policies.
Cover for stock that is for sale, owned by you but not for sale, held in trust, in transit and for sale at auction.
Business interruption
It's never a pleasant experience if your business is disrupted by unforeseen circumstances. We can indemnify against loss of revenue or the increase cost of working for longer than an agreed period.

Personal Assault
In the event of a robbery or attempted robbery, we can provide cover for you, members of your family, employees and volunteers under your direct control. Also, dependent upon the nature of any injuries suffered, policies can cover up to £10,000 or £100 per week for 104 weeks.

[Ed. Note: This is the Second of a three-part article on the impact of mobile on technical communication.]
How Mobile Will Change Technical Communication, Part Two
By Neil Perlin
Refocus Our Writing – Look at "Mobile First"
Luke Wroblewski, a product director at Google, wrote an article in 2009 called "Mobile First" in which he argues that web applications should be designed with mobile as the first priority. (Find the article here – http://www.lukew.com/ff/entry.asp?933. It's a quick read and worth it.) The article makes three points:
- Mobile is exploding
- Mobile forces you to focus
- Mobile extends your capabilities
All of which apply to technical communication.
The goal – Write to the extreme standard of mobile to improve and extend all our writing.
Rethink our Writing Style and Cut Excess Content
Write shorter, simpler, more focused material. Cut out a lot of conceptual material on the grounds that "if users don't know the concepts that underlie our software, should they even be using it?" Consider moving away from full sentences to sentence fragments.
This can be hard. Sometimes you have to change your entire mindset to make major cuts while keeping the meaning. For example, I can cut this sentence from The Highwayman by Alfred Noyes, "The wind was a torrent of darkness among the gusty trees." to, with apologies to Alfred, "It was windy."
The goal – Make content shorter, optimized, and effective for the smallest screen we may encounter.
Consider Changing Navigation Models
My experience with Flare and RoboHelp classes is that fewer and fewer technical communicators create indexes for their projects, preferring instead to use search. This change is even manifesting itself in new interface models like MadCap's topnav interface released with Flare 11 in 2015, shown below.
Unlike the traditional tri-pane, the topnav model makes no provision for an index. This puts increased emphasis on SEO (search engine optimization) and a growing need to store and analyze user search data for use in improving the output now and customizing its delivery in the future.
The goal – Change your projects' "findability" to actively embrace search.
Keep Tools Up To Date
Try to avoid using old versions of authoring tools and then leap-frogging intermediate releases to adopt the latest version. The old version may offer proprietary features that were deprecated in later versions and are no longer supported in the latest version. Or offer a feature that's not supported in a competing tool to which you want to switch. For example, Adobe RoboHelp offers a slick multilevel list feature that lets authors predefine nested list formatting. Unfortunately, this feature is proprietary; text that uses it in RoboHelp projects doesn't import into Flare. Fixing such problems may require working in the code, which can be more time-consuming and expensive.
The goal – Be able to take advantage of new features and avoid painting yourself into a technical corner.
Don't Get Blinded By the Latest "Next Big Thing"
There's always something new and cool coming along. It's important to look behind the hype to see if they make sense technically and culturally. DITA, for example, offers some significant benefits but can be demanding to use and hard to fit into existing doc group cultures. Another potential cultural misfit is AR (augmented reality). AR can create enhanced service manuals but can suffer from the "Lefty Lucy, Righty Tighty" problem, material so basic that the target audience may be insulted and refuse to use it, or material distracting enough to cause safety problems. (See http://joebarkai.com/augmented-reality-righty-tighty-lefty-loosey/ by Product and Market Strategist and Catalyst Joe Barkai.)
The goal – View new technologies culturally as well as from the business and technical perspective.
Consider the Politics of Change
Anticipate staff turnover because of change. New hires' willingness to try new technologies will be offset by the loss of institutional knowledge as old hands leave. Moving into mobile may also encroach on the turf of other groups that are more traditionally viewed as the creators of mobile, like IT.
The goal – Consider culture problems that may arise as you move toward mobile.
Part three of this article will conclude with things to start thinking about as technical communicators, including new interfaces and creating adaptive content.

When I was growing up, this was my favorite FAVORITE meal. My mom would make it regularly and when it was time for a special meal picked by me, chances are I would pick this.
Traditionally, my mom made it on the stove and when I moved out, that's how I made it too. Until my mom let me in on a little secret….it's amazing in a crock pot.
Here's the recipe. I put it together at lunch and by dinner…it's ready to eat over rice.Luscious Lemon Chicken- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts (your choice, I prefer thighs even though breasts are healthier)- 2 cans Campbell's Cream of Mushroom soup- 1 can mushrooms, pieces and stems- 2 Tbs lemon juicePut it all in the slow cooker for 5-6 hours and serve over rice

Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Elkhorn District Curriculum
The math curriculum in Elkhorn is guided by the Common Core State Standards. Elementary school learners are introduced to the concept of operations. After learning addition and subtraction, students become adept and completing operations that involve multiplication and division. Likewise, students learn how to multiply and divide within 100. Fractions are introduced as well, with students developing the understanding of fractional notation. Measurement and data is also a central area of study in the elementary math curriculum. Problems associated with time, volume, and mass are undertaken, and learners explore various geometric properties such as perimeter and area as well.
Elkhorn's health science curriculum is part of the larger career-technical curriculum that introduces students to a variety of careers-based information. In health sciences, students are exposed to the skills required for employment in a healthcare environment. Learners participate in a self-assessment of skills and aptitudes in order to compare what they are capable of doing to what is required to enter the healthcare field. Included in these skills is the ability to conduct oneself as a professional.
Testimonials and Case Studies from Our Parents
SchoolTutoring Academy has played an important role in improving our son's confidence and attitude towards school. His grades have also improved steadily throughout the school year.
My daughter was very self-conscious about her difficulties with the math section of the SAT. SchoolTutoring Academy's Academic Directors created an action plan that boosted my daughter's score and confidence level.
SchoolTutoring Academy has not only improved my son's standardized test scores but also his high school math and English grades. Test Prep Academy has not only improved my son's standardized test scores but also his high school math and English grades.
SchoolTutoring Academy Increased My SAT Score By 200 Points
My son's math marks in high school have always been weak so I found it very beneficial that his ACT tutor worked on solidifying his fundamentals while prepping for the ACT.
SchoolTutoring Academy gave my daughter the confidence she needed to boost her SAT score Thank you!
SchoolTutoring has played an important role in improving our son's confidence and attitude towards school. His grades have also improved steadily throughout the school year.
My daughter was able to improve her test scores after a few months of tutoring with SchoolTutoring. However, while raising test scores is great, the real payoff is in the self-confidence that she gained.
I just wanted to send a quick note to say thank-you! My son is very impressed with his tutor and looks forward to each session. What's particularly amazing about this is our son has never really looked forward to math or school for that matter!
We are so happy with the results of your tutoring program and academic support. Homework time was such a stressful evening for the entire evening before we brought your tutors into our home. Thank you for all your help!
Our daughter, a first grader, struggled with basic reading and handwriting. When she began with SchoolTutoring she was almost a year behind her class. Within a year of being enrolled, she is reading above her grade level and has the confidence to match.

Chalk Talk: ACT Test Prep Tips
There are a host of methods students can use in order to ensure they perform at their best on the ACT. Getting lots of practice in ahead of time is one of the best approaches to success. There are countless online and print materials that familiarize students with the structure of the test, the manner in which directions are worded, and the type of questions they can expect to see on the exam. Another key factor in testing success is to get a good night's rest. Although the stress associated with taking the ACT can make it difficult to sleep, it is important that your child goes to bed at a reasonable hour and tries to get as much rest as possible. The morning of the test, your child should eat a good breakfast so his or her brain has the fuel it needs to tackle the complex questions on the test.

White label application empowers digital retailing efforts and gives dealers robust new tools to buy vehicles directly from consumers
Dallas, TX – January 19, 2015 — Pearl Technology Holdings, LLC (Pearl) www.pearltechnologyholdings.com, an automotive technology incubator created by auto industry entrepreneur Bruce Thompson, today announced the release of new tools that help auto dealers streamline the digital retailing process and buy vehicles directly from consumers. Private label widgets with dealer branding can be embedded into dealership websites allowing a consumer to submit their vehicle to the dealership for a buy offer, or get a trade-in value. The website widget gives the dealership its own online concierge that walks the customer through a streamlined process. The tool also gives dealers a private label smartphone app to distribute to their consumers on Apple and Android platforms. These tools bring both the consumer and dealer together in a real-time bidding platform that allows the consumer to submit their vehicle for an offer in under seven minutes.
"Valuation widgets on dealership websites need a significant upgrade," said Pearl CEO and Founder, Bruce Thompson. "The current generation of car buyers want the ability to buy and complete a transaction online. They do not want to spend hours at the dealership. Digital retailing is where our industry is headed and to get there a dealer must be able to accurately value the trade and communicate with the consumer efficiently. Aggregators like AutoNation and Sonic Automotive are quickly heading down a path to streamlines the retail transaction to 30 minutes or less. Pearl's new tools give any dealer the ability to value a trade or simply give the consumer a cash offer in minutes. It's a real-time bidding platform that has incredible functionality and is light years ahead of anything on the market today," Thompson added.
Once the consumer submits their vehicle information the dealer receives a real-time notification. The dealer can analyze vehicle condition, photos, history and see wholesale book values and auction data from their mobile device or dealer portal, and immediately place an offer. If the dealer requires additional information, they simply submit a request that notifies the consumer. The consumer is instantly notified that their offer is ready, or that additional information is requested.
If the consumer accepts the offer they receive drop-off instructions with a Google Map displaying directions on how to get to the dealership from the consumer's location. If the consumer declines the offer, they have the opportunity to submit a counter-offer that they would be willing to accept. In either instance, all consumer activity is stored and reported in the Pearl dealer portal and dealership CRM tool.
"The objective is to give the dealer tools that connect the dealership to the consumer in real-time; allowing them to give a firm and accurate offer, rather than a value range provided by a 3rd-party," said Thompson. "Smartphone consumer submission and mobile dealer bidding and notifications enable an offer to be completely processed in under 10 minutes, which is phenomenal for both dealer and consumer. The dealer now has a world-class application with their own branding that would cost millions of dollars to build on its own. And the consumer has an experience far superior to anything on the market today."
Pearl Technology Holdings will be displaying this new technology at the NADA Convention in San Francisco, CA, January 23-25, 2015. Live demonstrations will be conducted throughout the show at Booth #919 S.
For more information or to schedule a live demo at NADA, call 888-339-1116 or visit: www.pearlsolutions.com/nada.

5/28/11: Sewing Musings and Reupholstering a Stool
In viewing my past blog posts I see that I haven't really been doing much actual sewing lately. I did do some to make our giveaway prizes and I did a bit of mending, but I haven't broken out the serger or sewing machines for a full blown sewing project. The month of May, for me, has been a busy one with all the cooking and farm planting to do, and that causes havoc to the subject of sewing.
For me, spending 15 or 20 minutes sewing here and there throughout the day is hard to do. It takes me awhile to "get the wheels turning" again so I lose valuable time there. I need at least 30 minutes total to get any progress done. Dropping a project: easy, picking it back up, not so much.
I haven't worked much on my crafting plan that I mentioned about
. I'm finding it incredibly hard to set my priorities and not go crazy with all the projects I want to complete. It is a work in progress, sometime next week I should have something to show!
So onto what it is the latest for me in the world of sewing.
I am reupholstering two stools.
The two stools in question are used at my
family's farm stand
. When we were cleaning and organizing the stand this month I noticed how run down and faded the cushions looked. The stools have good, solid metal bases so only the cushions needed the TLC and when it comes to yours truly, when that TLC involves fabric, I'm on the job. Here's one of the stools that need a bit of help:
And here's the under side:
OK, maybe they need a
of help. Whatever the case, they are going to get a complete cushion overhaul courtesy of Art and Needlework.
The book I am using as reference (since I haven't done many cushions before), is
Simplicity's Simply the Best Home Decorating Book
They have a section in the book that discusses how to make a cover for a box pillow:
And add a zipper for easy pillow insertion and removal:
I am using a medium blue cotton twill for the fabric. I first thought of adding piping to the cushion edges but I have to keep things simple for myself; I don't have much time yet before we need these stools back. The cushion will be separate from the stool and will be attached to a wood base using snaps. I'll show you that detail when I get the first cushion done.
I think this cushion project of mine will help me out with my garment sewing addiction. I need to try new things and a cushion is always a good place to start. Now if only I could find more foam. . .

age: six weeks old
stats: probably 11.5 pounds
firsts: thanksgiving, day at home with just daddy and elden, christmas tree, time being left alone without us
milestones: much more alert, discovering her hands/grasping
goings-on: edith has a bit of a rash on her face - likely dryness due to the arid winter air and the extra hot baths she insists on. she has been babbling a smidge more and is all about the eye contact. edith drinks about 4 oz every 3 hours during the day. she is particularly curious about the world around her so we oft have to cover her eyes with our hands in order to get her to fall asleep for her naps. night time has been going well on the whole. she has only been nursing usually once in the middle of the night then right around 6 am. edith is starting to grasp objects (blankets, our fingers) and responds most rapidly to her brother. it's funny how second child syndrome is showing through because for our date night we rushed out the door and i barely even said bye to her. she did just fine, natch, and had plenty of love from her granny and gra.

Australia's ABC News reports on dictator Bashar al-Assad's "remarkably frank assessment of the strains affecting the Syrian military." Assad used his first public address in a year to admit he has lost control of a good deal of his country, and is digging in to defend what his regime has left.
Assad's remarks were notably devoid of the bluster normally associated with strongmen, especially in the Middle East. They are usually at pains to project strength and confidence, fearing any sign of weakness could bring further civil unrest, or even a coup attempt.
Assad may believe a bit of candor was his best bet for rallying loyal Syrians, winning a bit of international sympathy and maybe sending a distress signal to his patrons in Iran and Russia. (He has ways of communicating with them directly, of course, but narratives must still be set for every nation involved, as well as the international community.)
"Sometimes, in some circumstances, we are forced to give up areas to move those forces to the areas that we want to hold onto," Assad told the Syrian people. "We must define the important regions that the armed forces hold onto so it doesn't allow the collapse of the rest of the areas."
He mentioned his shortage of military manpower, which ABC notes is even more acute than he let on, as a conscript army of over 300,000 has been "roughly halved by deaths, defections and a rise in draft-dodging." In a bid to replenish its forces, the Assad regime has announced the normal penalties for avoiding military service would be waived, hopefully tapping into a supply of recruits willing to fight for the Syrian government if they do not fear punishment for staying out of the fight until now.
He also threw in a jab at governments supporting various rebel factions, most notably Turkey, for engineering Syrian military defeats that left the populace in "a state of despair," while publicly acknowledging the assistance of Iran and its proxy Hezbollah for the first time.
The Turks have not been shy about expressing their antipathy for Assad in the past, but he might be freshly irked by news that Turkey and the U.S. will work on creating a no-fly, ISIS-free safe zone along the Syrian border to assist both moderate rebel forces and refugees from the Syrian civil war. Also, knowing that Turkey recently began bombing ISIS positions on Syrian soil, Assad might be inviting them to consider what sort of neighbor an ISIS-dominated post-Assad Syria would make.
Assad nevertheless refused to admit defeat or accept some partition of Syria that would permanently cede captured territory to rebel forces or ISIS. He said counter-offensives were still being drafted to retake the areas he admits his government no longer controls. "The word 'defeat' does not exist in the Syrian army's dictionary," he declared. "We will resist, and we will win."
In the early days of the Syrian meltdown, watching the brutal Iran-backed regime square off against al-Qaeda and a motley assortment of like-minded Islamists, many observers felt the optimum strategy was to bottle up the conflict and watch the dueling villains beat each other to a pulp. The conflict did not stay bottled up, however. ISIS flowed across the border into Iraq. A massive refugee crisis is spilling across the Middle East into Europe. As for that much-touted force of U.S.-backed "moderate" rebels, the first unit of "New Syrian Force" fighters hit the ground two weeks ago, 54 of them.

Before Sleep Comes has been out of print for a while. Not anymore. We just received a delivery and are thrilled to return it to the shop. A timeless gem of an album of sweet lullabies that sounds so fresh and beautiful thirteen years later.
28th April 2017
Just came across this review of Before Sleep Comes when it was first released in 2004.
Anne – LukaTeam
Luka Bloom
Before Sleep Comes
2004 – Bar-None – CD
Luka Bloom, a successful Irish singer-songwriter who has toured with the likes of the Cowboy Junkies, the Violent Femmes, the Hothouse Flowers, and the Pogues, suffers from tendonitis. Last year the condition became so painful, he couldn't do much more than light picking on a Spanish guitar. During his physical therapy, he refused to tear himself away from his instrument, and he continued to play. And as a glowing example of how to take a horrible situation and turn it into something beautiful, Bloom created Before Sleep Comes.
The record intends to bring listeners "closer to sleep, our sometimes elusive night-friend", as Bloom writes in the spares liner notes. Turned down low and accompanied by a dark room, warm blankets, and a comfy bed, this record can do just that. Bloom gathered nine songs, all of which come in under four and a half minutes, and he created a record with an entirely relaxing mood without the new-age cheesiness of the Pure Moods records advertised on late-night television.
Bloom incorporates self-penned ballads like 'Before Sleep Comes' and 'Camomile' with traditional Celtic songs 'My Singing Bird' and 'The Water Is Wide'. The songs are quiet, soothing, endearing and many are about sleep. Others are about love. Bloom's voice floats over a billowy acoustic guitar and sounds more like a whisper than someone singing.
The songwriter cleverly recorded the tracks late at night when he felt sleep tugging at his own eyelids in order to infuse that energy (or lack thereof – Ed.) into the record. The result is so effective I'm having trouble finishing this review. All this talk of sleep and Bloom's soft and sweet voice are making it seem much better to curl up in bed than continue pushing my pen across the page. Maybe I'll just pull up the blankets and catch a quick nap…

The Carnegie "Next Generation for Academics in Africa" Project proposal seeks to improve University of Ghana faculty research capacity and productivity. One of the key strategies under this objective is to organise training workshops in proposal writing and research fund-raising. The purpose of the proposal writing workshops is to equip UG faculty to attract external funds for research. In line with this, the first proposal writing workshop under the project was organised on from 14th to 16th June, 2011and targeting fifty (50) early career researchers/ lecturers with resource persons drawn from within the University community. The workshop also attracted five (5) participants from the University of Ilorin in Nigeria.
The workshop were held as plenary and breakout sessions. Participants were required to submit their project ideas/concepts prior to the workshop. This requirement was to enable the participants to form groups and develop proposals along common themes.
The workshop focused mainly on the proposal development process including discussions on the elements of a proposal, constructing project budgets as well as the proposal review process. Participants had the opportunity to interact with representatives from USAID and DFID, who are major global sponsors in research and development projects.
The Knowledge & Skill Enhancement Training Workshops were instituted by the School of Graduate Studies to compliment trainings run by individual departments and faculty in the area of research methodology, data analysis, thesis writing, among others. The workshops are being run in collaboration with the Office of Research, Innovation and Development (ORID), the School of Graduate Studies and the Carnegie "Next Generation of Academics in Africa" Project as part of the project objective number 4, which says, "By the end of 2015, all MPhil and PhD graduates from the University of Ghana will have the opportunity to participate in special skills training to improve thesis research quality and graduates' market value."
In 2011, four of such workshops were organized. The first two workshops (February 22 to 23 and March 1- 2) focused on "Thesis Writing" and aimed to improve the quality of theses produced by University of Ghana post-graduate students who attended the workshops. Topics covered all aspects of thesis writing, including structure, substance and style, data analysis and interpretation of results as well as ethical issues.
The third and fourth workshops (30th to 31st May, 2011 and 2nd to 3rd June, 2011) focused on "Planning and Managing Graduate Research," with the aim of enhancing the students' ability to identify a research topic, plan and carry out the research and deliver high quality thesis research in good time. There
In all, a total of two hundred and ninety-seven (297) post-graduate students, both from the Sciences and Humanities, benefitted from the workshops Knowledge and Skill Enhancement Workshops in 2011. The project is tracking the performance of students who benefited from these workshops in terms of thesis quality and submission time as compared with others who did not participate in the workshops as a way of evaluating the impact of the workshops.
Mentoring as an institutionalized activity at the University of Ghana is a much needed tool for enhancing graduate students relationships with their research supervisors and faculty members with the end goal of enhancing post-graduate training and research. The Carnegie "Next Generation of Academics in Africa" Project initiated this process by inviting heads of faculties, departments and senior administrators of the University to a meeting to discuss this need and process, which took place on 30th September 2011. Issues discussed were the roles of the mentor and the mentee, qualifications for a mentor, the structure and period of the mentoring relationship, the expected outcome, benefits and how the mentoring relationships would be assessed.
From the initial meeting, a team, coordinated by Dr. Helen Yitah and Ms. Ama Dadson, is working on the creation of the mentoring policy that would be presented and adopted by the University of Ghana.
With support from the Carnegie "Next Generation for Academics in Africa" Project Team, the Office of Research, Innovation and Development (ORID) organized its first Graduate Supervision Workshop for faculty members on Tuesday, 7th June, 2011 at the University of Ghana. This was organised as part of the goal of enhancing the delivery of research work and graduate training. The purpose of the workshop was to help faculty members define their roles and responsibilities as supervisors towards graduate students, thereby increasing students' access to good supervision.
An even split group of thirty-four faculty members from the Humanities and Sciences attended this workshop.
It was noted doing the workshop that some the responsibilities of the supervisor include providing guidance, providing emotional support and handling required administrative roles in the life of the graduate student. Participants at the workshop found this session on roles of the supervisor most useful.
Other topics that were discussed during the workshop were the role of the as graduate students, the issue of graduate committees as a gap that needed to be tackled in some departments.
Through the initiative of the Carnegie Next Generation of Academics in Africa Project, University of Ghana has established a pilot Diaspora Linkage Programme (UG-DLP), which seeks to promote partnerships with Ghanaian professors in the Diaspora that will enable the University of Ghana to draw on the expertise of academics in partner universities abroad in order to enhance its faculty strength for post-graduate teaching, supervision and thesis examination. It is the expectation that such partnerships will lead also to collaborative research that will enhance research productivity.
The University of Ghana-Diaspora Linkage Programme has established links with existing Ghana Diaspora Networks and individual Ghanaian professors working in universities abroad to facilitate this process. Ghanaian professors in the Diaspora can obtain the endorsement from their universities to use their leave/sabbatical periods to support the University of Ghana. Selected professors must be available to spend a minimum of one month, but ideally one to two semesters at UG, and must be willing to teach graduate courses, supervise MPhil/PhD students, examine student theses and engage in research, ideally in collaboration with UG faculty. Our expectation is that this arrangement will provide additional faculty time input to enhance teaching and research at UG and support the development of new post-graduate programmes.
Under this programme, two professors have already visited the University of Ghana. In 2011: Prof. Dorothy Odartey-Wellington from the School of Languages and Literatures, University of Guelph joined the Spanish Department from 15th August, 2011 to 22nd December 2011, while Michael Baffoe from the Faculty of Social Work, Manitoba University joined the Department of Social Work, from 15th August, 2011 to 30th December, 2011.

(Neb)-UCCS Pulls Away From Lady Eagles
By: John Axtell Posted at: 02/11/2018 06:37 PMBy Con Marshall/CSC Sports Information
CHADRON, Neb.— The University of Colorado Colorado Springs led by just 32-27 at halftime, but outscored Chadron State College 23-12 in the third period to break the game open and go on to defeat the Eagles 72-53 in a Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference women's basketball game Saturday night.
The Mountain Lions, now 9-14 overall and 9-9 in the conference, were nine of 16 from the field while building a 55-39 advantage in the third period. Chadron State, meanwhile, made only one of its nine shots from the field in the third, and the cold shooting carried over to the free throw line, where the hosts were just 10 of 19 in the quarter.
The Eagles finished the night 20-of-30 at the charity stripe and Colorado Springs only 5-of-6. But the Mountain Lions sank 29 field goals, including nine three-pointers. The Eagles managed only 14 field goals, a season low, although five of them were treys.
Lauren Bennett, a six-foot junior, led the Lions with 17 points while going 7-of-8 from the field, including 2-of-3 from behind the arc and making her only free shot. Sophomore guard Maddi Golla contributed 12 points. Four Lions were next on the scoring chart with points apiece.
Freshman Taryn Foxen took game-high scoring honors with 21 points. Classmate Jessica Harvey tallied 13 and senior Kalli Feddersen 11. The other Eagles combined for just eight points.
Because of injuries, the Eagles, who turned the ball over 25 times against the Lions' quick defenders, had only four players on the bench for the game.
Chadron State will be back in action Tuesday night to host Regis, which edged Colorado Springs 73-69 in overtime Friday night in Denver.
Score by quarters:
Colorado Springs 16 16 23 17 ---72
Chadron State 11 16 12 14 ---53
Colorado Springs—Lauren Bennett 17, Maddie Golla 12, Kelly O'Flannigan 6, Mia Carter 6, Abby Feickert 6, Kristin Vigil 6, Caley Barnard 5, Madi Gaibler 5, Emily Seifert 4, Tatum Tellin 3, Shanah Leaf 2. Totals: 29-68 (9-22) 5-6 72 points, 32 rebounds, 14 turnovers.
Chadron State—Taryn Foxen 21, Jessica Harvey 13, Kalli Feddersen 11, Kendra Baucom 3, Letty Rodriguez 2, Savannah Weidauer 2, McKenna McClintic 1. Totals: 14-49 (5-17) 20-30 53 points, 43 rebounds, 25 turnovers.

Lucknow encounter ends: Here's what happened
- Post 08 March 2017
According to IG ATS Aseem Arun, forces first made all the efforts to nab the suspected terrorist alive, but didn't materialise and had to fire tear gas shells and chilly bombs, so that he may come out but, he didn't. The ATS commandos then stormed inside the house, after issuing a warning to the terrorist, Arun said, adding "The suspected terrorist then fired at the ATS commandos, which was then appropriately retaliated by the ATS commandos.

In this recent post I hinted at an idea the Lord gave me while preparing for the introduction to our study Abiding in Christ, by Andrew Murray and Bo Stevens.
The idea bubbled to the surface as I imagined the disciples walking past a nearby vineyard following their last supper with Christ. The bread and the wine still lingering on their lips would become even more meaningful as Jesus taught on the Vine and the branches—a union that complements the Lord's Supper beautifully.
As I closed out our introduction night, the juice and crackers were passed. We had a time of self-examination while David Teems (More Hope CD) played in the background. Afterwards, an amazing group of women from various backgrounds, denominations and churches came together as one to celebrate the One who makes an abiding relationship with a holy God possible.
To God be the glory!

Allocutio: A meditation reading:
October 18, 2015
The Feast of Mary's Maternity was celebrated October 11. This feast should awaken in our hearts confidence and trust in her who, because of her dignity as Mother, has the greatest influence with her Divine Son. In praising the Mother of God, we beg her to use her maternal power in our behalf:
"Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners." What greater advocate could we find? What more powerful patroness? Jesus cannot resist His Mother's supplications, nor can Mary resist those who invoke her under her sweetest title: Mother.
If every woman is touched when she hears herself called "Mother," will not Mary be even more deeply touched when she is invoked as "Mother of God"? Then let us call her by that name, let us treat her as a mother---as the Mother of God first of all and then as our own Mother---since Jesus, when dying on the Cross, put at our disposal the treasures of her maternity. Our Lady has a maternal mission to accomplish in our souls. Jesus Himself has entrusted it to her; therefore, it is very dear to her, and she desires to fulfill it perfectly. Yes, Mary wishes to be our Mother, she wishes to use the privileges and treasures of her maternity for our advantage, but she cannot do so unless we entrust ourselves to her care like docile, loving children.
Even among those who are consecrated to God, not all realize sufficiently the necessity of giving themselves to Mary as her children, of opening their soul to her maternal influence, of having recourse to her with complete confidence, of calling upon her aid in all their difficulties and dangers, and of placing their whole spiritual life under her patronage.
In the natural order a child needs a mother, and suffers both morally and spiritually without one; so also in the supernatural order, souls need a mother, they need Mary, most holy.
Without her and her maternal care, souls suffer, their spiritual life is stunted and often becomes lax, or, at least, is not as vigorous as it should be. On the other hand, when souls give themselves to Mary, seek Mary, and trust themselves to her, their interior life progresses rapidly, their journey toward God is more simple and swift; everything becomes easier because there is a Mother's hand to sustain them, there is a Mother's heart to comfort them.

A dog may not behave like in the movies when getting washed. It looks fun, however it could be the opposite in real life. Dirt and stink may become favorites of a dog and could also the main reason why he becomes terrified of water and soap. If this is the case, then you may be having a hard time bathing him. With sufficient background, you can bathe your dog without aggravating it as demonstrated in this video.
The most crucial tip to know is you need to begin showering your puppy while he's still adolescent. You'll be able to tell if your puppy likes taking a bath. It is only normal for your puppy to be a little bit resistant, especially if it's his first time. Your puppy will get used to the procedure, that is an advantage for you. A toy or treat would also help your dog or puppy to get a bath. A treat will work as a treat to your pet and must be given once again once he behaves well throughout the activity. The tub shouldn't be full of water as nearly all puppies get irritated when their bodies are underwater. Instead, if your tub is large enough, go inside it also and play with your puppy. You might also give him treats and toys if you want. When you're already making a positive vibe with your dog, you may then fill the tub with warm water.
Right after easing your dog in to the tub, you have to be sure that water does not enter the dog's ears. It's risky for dogs to have water in their ears. You can select to protect your dog's ear by blocking it with cotton balls. When your dog is uncomfortable having cotton balls in her ears, then you might only need to spray carefully. Dogs have got natural oils in their skin and hair, so making use of mild soap will help preserve the healthy oils without the puppy smelling. In case you shampoo your dog, be sure to use a product which veterinarians suggest. While washing, be sure the mouth and eyes are protected. You could clean the body and avoid the neck up if you do not have a hose or a bucket to utilize when showering the puppy. Meanwhile, make use of a damp cloth to clean the head area of your dog.
The following thing to do right after bathing is drying your dog. Blow drying is useful however the sound from the blow dryer can cause irritation to dogs. If he does get frightened from it, then you should give him treats or toys so he could be comfortable with it. Be sure the blow dryer doesn't touch your dog at all because there are parts that become hot to handle. If you want to ensure safety, just use a towel. Your dog will also want to dry himself by moving his body, as shown in this URL.

Receive the latest housing news from VHFA by email.
Interviews with residents of subsidized rental housing in Vermont will be the core of a new story telling project launched by the Vermont Affordable Housing Coalition.
The first interview shared through the project is with Angela Devoid, a single mother living at Moose River Apartments in St. Johnbury. Listen to her story.
Ever wonder why it's not easier to build affordable apartments? A new interactive tool developed by the Urban Institute illustrates the mathematical necessity of tax credits, loans, tenant income/rent and grants in paying for the costs of affordable housing. Check it out to see if you can make the math work!
From L to R: Ted Brady (USDA), Jenny Nelson (Senator Sanders
office), Werner Heidemann (RuralEdge), Senator Leahy, Jen Hollar
(VHCB) and Sarah Carpenter (VHFA). Photo by Elwin Prescott.
By purchasing $125,000 in Vermont Housing Tax Credits last Friday, Union Bank supplied the equity needed to help approximately 125 households buy their first homes in Vermont this coming year. These households will receive up to $5,000 to help cover their down payment and closing costs through a statewide program when they qualify for a Vermont Housing Finance Agency mortgage.
Lack of affordable housing is the community challenge that survey respondents are most concerned about, according to the recently released 2016 Community Health Needs Assessment. Among survey respondents, 58.3 percent rated lack of affordable housing as the top concern, followed by 52.5 percent for drug and alcohol abuse.
Building Homes Together was launched yesterday. It is a collaboration of organizations and communities seeking to remedy some of the most pressing challenges in Chittenden County's housing market.
"The housing shortage in Chittenden County has been well noted with unhealthy vacancy rates and high rents," added Charlie Baker, Executive Director of the Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission. "Employers can't find workers, and workers themselves spend more time in commutes and with a higher percentage of their paychecks on housing costs."
A modest, two-bedroom apartment costs $1,099, according to the annual Out of Reach report from the National Low-Income Housing Coalition. In order to afford this level of rent and utilities — without paying more than 30% of income on housing — a household must earn an hourly "housing wage" of $21.13—far more than Vermont's minimum wage of $9.60 or the average wage among the state's renters ($11.79).
Need an affordable apartment or know someone who does?
A recent report from the Bipartisan Policy Center describes the need for a comprehensive national approach to integrating health care and housing for seniors.
After sitting vacant for six years, the Gevries mobile home park in Addison County has started redevelopment. VHFA provided housing tax credits that will cover an estimated 60 percent of the project's costs and ensure that the new 14-home community will be affordable for low-income renters of all ages. By installing VERMOD high-performance duplex homes, developers Cathedral Square Corporation and Addison County Community Trust anticipate that the neighborhood will achieve net-zero annual energy costs, another critical component of its long-term affordability.

The decision to close Michael Waltrip Racing boiled down to finances and results.
When the results weren't matching the financial investment Rob Kauffman was making on an annual basis, the co-owner could no longer justify pouring money into the organization.
That's the explanation Kauffman gave Friday for his decision this week to pull out of MWR. He rescued Michael Waltrip from ruin during MWR's rocky 2007 debut season, but will shift his dollars to Chip Ganassi Racing beginning next season.

When I think classic fashion, I think Chanel, thus Chanel crossbody bags. Chanel is one of those brand's that reinvents itself seamlessly, almost to the point of 'wtf'. Think about it – where else can you find stuff 'classy enough for grams,' and kick-ass enough for the likes of wild child Cara Delevigne? I mean, good luck finding a a more versatile, classic crossbody, because Chanel's got the one. And look at all places you'll go – weddings, clubs, whatever – this bag has a whole lot of cool, and even more class.
I won't to attempt to style this with, as I'm sure it could even look good paired with a brown paper bag, but next to a one of these printed beauties, a white tee, jeans and strappy heel might suffice.
I loved the way Poppy Delevingne and Miroslava Duma styled their Chanels – do you? Let me know! And while you're at it, tell Santa I'll happily take 5 of 'em off his hands! – L'Addict

One of Scotland's most revered young chefs said he received a "big shock" after his Edinburgh restaurant claimed a prestigious award at the hospitality industry's equivalent to the Oscars.
Dominic Jack, tipped to win a Michelin star in the near future, said the "hard work" of his team earned Castle Terrace Restaurant recognition by the annual Caterer and Hotelkeeper Awards.
The 35-year-old chef and patron of the eatery, a close friend and former colleague of Michelin-starred chef Tom Kitchin, only opened the establishment less than a year ago, but it has already won widespread acclaim, helping to earn it the Newcomer prize at "The Cateys".
