Most dog owners spend a lot of time in front of the shelves of supermarkets looking at the list of ingredients in the dog food that they are to buy for their pooch. If they would have spent the same time making some of the easy homemade dog treats, it would not only have been a fun experience for them but a very healthy experience for their pet dog as well.
Benefits of making homemade dog treats
As someone makes homemade dog treats, they ensure that they have full clue of what is being ingested by their adored pet. They can monitor the nutritional intake of the pet and can help him grow healthy and stay healthier. By making easy homemade dog treats, one can prohibit their much loved pet from taking unhealthy additives which form a good part of the commercial dog foods.
Apart from all these, by serving homemade treats to the pooch, you are letting your dog enjoy different tastes and not get bored by the same old dog biscuit that he had been eating since years. Last but not the least, making dog treats at home can be really economic and can be made from items which are readily available in the kitchen.
Easy and tasty recipes for dog treats
Here are a couple of the easiest homemade dog treats that will not take much of your time, money or effort, but will let your darling dog get tasty alternatives.
Leftover trail mix treat – You can make use of the leftover items of your fridge and cook some real tasty and healthy treat for your darling dog. Take pieces of meat and rinse off any flavoring that it might have, 2 medium sized potatoes, vegetables and fruits (you can take as many types as possible).
You need to cut all the ingredients in small chunks of half inch thickness and pray lightly with the cooking spray. Preheat the oven at 200°F and place the mixed ingredients in the food dehydrator till the time it dries off. Cool it off and serve it to your dog and see how it enjoys the treat that is being cooked by his beloved owner.
Puppy Pumpkin Pie treats – To make this healthy dog treat, you would need 2½ cup of whole wheat flour, ¼ cup of toasted wheat germ and flax seed each, 1 cup of pumpkin puree, ⅓cup of natural peanut butter, 1 egg and 1 egg yolk, ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 2 tablespoons of dark brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of canola oil and water.
You need to take the cinnamon, flax seed, wheat germ and the flour in a medium bowl and combined together. Separately whisk the pumpkin puree, egg, butter, oil and water and store in a different bowl. Now you would be required to pour the wet ingredient onto the dry ingredient's bowl and stir to form rough dough. Roll the dough to ¼ inch thickness and cut out treats of different shapes by means of treat cutters. Use the egg yolk to brush the top of each treat.
Bake the treats in a preheated oven (350°F) until they turn slightly brown and relatively hard. This process should not take anything more than 35-40 minutes. Cool the biscuits to harden them. Once cooled, you can serve them to your beloved pet.

In the land of the free, Americans now spend more money on taxes than they do on food and clothing—combined and the rate is increasing at a staggering pace.
Source: The Free Thought Project/Matt Agorist
A troubling new report released this week by the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that Americans spent more on taxes last year than they did on food and clothing—combined. As the report shows, this problem shows no signs of slowing as the average American's rate of taxation is increasing at a staggering rate.
As CNS News reports, in 2016, according to BLS, "consumer units" (which include families, financially independent individuals, and people living in a single household who share expenses) spent more on average on federal, state and local taxes ($10,489) than they did on food ($7,203) and clothing ($1,803) combined ($9,006).
Instead of realizing they are taxing Americans, quite literally out of their clothes, the state has been increasing the rate every year.
The average tax bill for American "consumer units" increased from $7,423 in 2013 to $10,489 in 2016, according to data released this week by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

What you probably will see is a lot more parents starting to question their unit's sponsor, asking "Are we going to register a gay Scoutmaster?", and then switching units if they don't like the answer. The Cradle of Liberty Council isn't saying that the units have to register gays, just like they don't say they have to register women or any other particular class of people as leaders.
They should be formally de-listed from the BSA, and then the parents should form a new council, with members who aren't enablers.
If the Cradle of Liberty Council persists in this new policy, then this is probably exactly what will happen.

I had a few days off which I thought would be a good opportunity to start the art journal pages challenge I set myself, and this one was to make a page heavy with texture. Sometimes it is hard to just pick up materials and not really think about where to put them, but I consciously decided that the page would be layers of textures first and the image would come later.
I used some decoupage for one side of the page, covering it with glue and adding torn up patterned pieces. The other side I used gesso for some depth and added a mixture of orange, copper and purple acrylic paints. I added some black stamped images, then melted gold embossing powder into some of the stamps. I used superglue to stick down some chipboard hearts, sequins and tiny plastic stars. I also added a yellow button and then doodled across it with Posca pens.
This was really fun! I love playing with different materials and giving myself permission to do this without a fixed idea of what I wanted to create. It also helped stir new ideas for more pages which was the main reason for my challenges. I'm looking forward to the next page.

This is a rush transcript from "Special Report with Bret Baier," August 29, 2016. This copy may not be in its final form and may be updated.
CAMPAIGN AD: In Hillary Clinton's America, the middle class gets crushed, spending goes up, taxes go up.
In Donald Trump's America, working families get tax relief. Millions of new jobs created, wages go up. Small businesses thrive, the American dream achievable. Change that makes America great again.
CAMPAIGN AD: He wears it like a crown, "Make America great again." But Trump made his shirts in Bangladesh, his ties in China, and his suits in Mexico.
BRET BAIER, ANCHOR: Two ads going head to head. Donald Trump with a new ad and Hillary Clinton's ad over the past weekend, this the new ad buy, by the way, for the Trump campaign is said to be about $10 million in battleground states. This as a new poll out from Monmouth University shows Hillary Clinton with a seven-point lead over Donald Trump with the four candidates there.
And that tracks roughly where our average of polls that we trust that we call the "Special Report" average of polls, the five most recent polls. It has that almost exactly the same number for all four, seven points.
Let's bring in our panel: Syndicated columnist George Will; Mara Liasson, national political correspondent of National Public Radio, and Tucker Carlson, host of "Fox & Friends Weekend."
Mara, where do you put this race right now? As we get ready to head into post Labor Day ahead of the first debate, September 26th, where is this race?
MARA LIASSON, NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO: I think that's where it is. She's got a substantial lead, five, six, seven points. That's where it's been. There is a theory about presidential campaigns that once you get into this part of the summer, the dynamic is pretty well set. And only a spectacular collapse or a fabulous performance in the debates or a big October surprise can change the dynamic. That's where I think the race is.
BAIER: Tucker?
TUCKER CARLSON, FOX NEWS: Surprisingly close. Given that we used to say in campaigns, one candidate won the day. I can't remember the last day that Donald Trump can claim to have won. The press is united against him. He's had an awful lot of self-inflicted wounds, and yet he's still relatively close. She's definitely winning, of course. But their theory of the case that there's this large pool of secret Trump voters, people that are too embarrassed to say that they're voting for Trump, that becomes real if it gets within three points, I think. And we're not that far from it. I'm just saying it's going to get there. I'm just saying she is stubbornly below 50. That tells you a lot.
BAIER: There are negatives on both candidates, obviously, George, they're very high. How much does that mean the impact of these debates will have?
GEORGE WILL, SYNDICATED COLUMNIST: Well, the debates are everything for Donald Trump, because he has to change the arithmetic. At this point she's winning all 11 of the classic battleground states. If she wins the Obama states, the 326 electoral votes. If she loses North Carolina as he did in 2012, she still wins comfortably. So she's ahead, but it might be fragile. And his challenge is to come on stage and rattle her, I assume, by saying that you studied hard, I didn't. You have mastered your briefing books. I don't know what they are. Let's rumble.
BAIER: And that will make a difference in people's perception?
LIASSON: I think it could make a difference. Donald Trump has to pass the plausibility test for people. He has to reassure people that they can imagine him being president, and beyond his base. And those people are not leaving him, no matter what he does or says. They are very, very loyal. He has to expand. That's what all of the indications coming out of the Trump campaign in the past week or two have said, that he wants to perhaps soften his stand on immigration, change what he wants to do to illegal immigrants in this country. That's a recognition that the base is not enough for him. He's got to make it bigger.
BAIER: A possible change in this debate in the performance of both candidates, but also we mentioned other things can happen. We have this e- mail release that is scheduled for September 13. Over the weekend you had both sides talking about the e-mails and their impact.
Maybe we don't. But they did talk about it. We did have a sound bite. And it was Citizens United saying these e-mails really show the foundation was in communication with the State Department, the Clinton Foundation, and the interaction of those. And then Donna Brazile saying this is no big deal, I can't even see where the smoke is, even though Hillary Clinton said I know there's smoke but there's no fire.
LIASSON: I don't know where they get their metaphors.
CARLSON: You heard more of the same. You heard what we already knew. There was actually one of Hillary's employees working at the State Department and the foundation, so we knew there was this nexus between them. But you saw Doug Band, the president's body man, calling and asking for special treatment of Clinton donors and getting them.
What you didn't see so strikingly is any Democrat saying this actually is bad. It's unethical. It reflects poorly not simply on Hillary Clinton and her campaign but on the U.S. government, on its competence and its ethics, and I'm out. You haven't seen what you've seen on the Republican side, including from someone at this table, lifelong Democrats, or in this case Republicans, saying I'm not for this anymore. This candidate is too flawed. Why haven't you? Because the Democratic Party is not an ideological party. It's a party whose only concern is acquiring and wielding power, and I think they revealed that in a way that's kind of shocking.
BAIER: George?
WILL: The Clintons have been in politics sense they got out of law school, which means they spent their entire adult life asking rich people for money. And that is over 20 or 30 or40 years corrosive. It corrodes among other things their sense of the little line that gets blurred to the point erasure between public and private interests. If you've read your Faulkner, you've read all about these folks. They are the Snopes, and get used to it.
BAIER: Do you think this story has -- that the public has now fully digested the e-mail story to the point where even if some e-mail comes out September 13th, that they're going to be able to plow through it, depending on what it says?
WILL: The e-mails are going to have to show a quid pro quo. It's going to have to show government action, not seating someone next to Joe Biden at a State Department lunch, but some government action that looks demonstrably corrupt.
BAIER: But the fact that hundreds of hits on Benghazi, and these are the e-mails she said were personal that she deleted. We know that there are foundation emails in there. So obviously none of it is falling under just the yoga and wedding planning.
LIASSON: No. It's had an effect. Why do you think her numbers on honesty and trustworthiness are as bad as they are? This is what's causing that. But I do think for it to change the dynamic of the race, to flip what's happening, not only would it have to be a quid pro quo, it would have to be something that would be otherwise contrary to U.S. policy, or she would have to have met with someone that an ordinary secretary of state, her or her predecessors would have met with.
CARLSON: I guess, but what is the Hillary campaign about? I know, seriously. Is it about infrastructure? No. It's about getting power and passing around the fruits of that power to our friends and wielding it for good. That's it. That's not a rationale for a presidential campaign. And I think if she got any scrutiny at all, I'm not saying Trump would win, I'm not defending Trump. I'm merely saying the premise of her campaign is indefensible, and nobody points that out.
LIASSON: She doesn't have a message for her campaign other than I'm not Donald Trump, and he's really dangerous and scary.
BAIER: Because technically, George, this is a change election, it should be a change election if you look at the dynamics of election after election after election.
WILL: It is. And it's a wonder at this point that Mr. Trump hasn't been able to take advantage of that. We just finished a lost decade in this country, a decade which we had not one year of three percent economic growth. The economy is not growing at all right now. And in this atmosphere, which cries out for change, the candidate who has been a national figure now for 20, 30 years, is ahead. It makes no sense.
BAIER: We'll see what happens after Labor Day.

Your customers have more choices now than ever before; why should they choose you? A better customer experience seems to be the answer. When polling B2B customers, researchers found that more than half of customers cited a positive customer experience as the deciding factor in their buying choices. They also spent more when their buying experience was positive and were more likely to recommend brands that exceeded their expectations. Marketing automation tools that help you provide more individualized, customized service are key to enhancing the customer experience.
When customer service is this important, it only makes sense to focus on it. Poor customer service leads to brand switching for as many as three out of four customers, yet B2B organizations don't always make the customer's experience a top priority. That's potentially great news for the companies that do, and here's how your organization can be one of them by combining marketing automation technology with personalized customer care.
Relationships thrive on committed partners, and that includes the business relationship between you and your customers. When you're committed to making your buyers feel valued not just for their buying power but as individuals, you're on your way to providing a great customer experience. Find ways to let your customers know you're committed to giving them outstanding service, and you're well on your way to keeping them for life. With marketing automation, you're able to customize communications and track leads' behavioral histories so you can more closely align your service with their preferences.
Too many B2B organizations put their emphasis on what they need to sell rather than what their customers truly want to buy. Discovering your customer's needs and fulfilling them is fundamental to a good customer experience. Only about one-third of B2B firms performed well on fulfillment, according to their customers; if you score high on fulfillment, you're already trouncing two out of three competitors.
Seamless Experience
How much effort do you make customers go through to buy from you? Every hurdle your marketing and selling processes place in front of potential customers can turn them away. In the digital marketplace, customers now demand a seamless experience that lets them move effortlessly from one part of their buying journey to the next. Marketing automation helps create this seamless experience through nurture programs that smooth the decision-making path, omni-channel marketing that coordinates all media streams, and data gathering that enhances rather than interferes with customers' experiences with you.
How well do you respond to your leads' needs? You can build what looks like the perfect customer experience, but if you don't create the means to respond quickly and accurately to their concerns, you won't see the results you want. That's like building an amusement park and forgetting to staff the rides – it looks good from a distance, but you aren't giving customers the core experience they truly want. Marketing automation helps you respond quickly to your leads and alert your sales team when prospects need them.
The best customer experience not only meets needs, but anticipates them. A proactive customer experience answers leads' questions even before they're asked and actively removes pain points from the buying process. Drip nurture programs offer an outstanding way to anticipate customers' questions before they ask them. By anticipating what your leads need to know and giving them information that helps them convince other decision-makers in their organization, you give them significantly fewer headaches – a key element of a great customer experience.
Adaptive Behavior
How well can your organization adapt to meet your customers' changing needs? Your company must evolve and improve constantly, rising to meet the market where it is instead of trying to anchor it to where it was. Only a quarter of B2B organizations scored high on adapting to customers' needs, so building agility into your marketing strategy gives you a distinct advantage.
Let your customers shape the experience they want, and you'll have them lining up for more.

Behind the Shutter Vol 1, Issue 9
August 25 - Ice Cream Conversations
This is Sonny, he is our nephew from Tennessee. He and his Uncle enjoyed heaping bowls of Thrifty's ice-cream while discussing important things like legos and trains. I grew up eating ice cream from our local Thrifty's drug store, it was the cheapest ice cream in town. And quite honestly, some of the yummiest!. Thrifty's has since been bought out by the competition, but you can still find their ice cream at some Rite-aid Stores. We made an ice cream run and ended up with quite a few different flavors. If you get a chance, try it!
August 26 - The Pi Piti Nan Club
Welcome to the adventures of the Pi Piti Nan Club. Im still not quite sure of how it all started but I am a proud member of this illustrious club!
This is my niece Meagann and sister in law Paige from Tennessee. They happen to be the founding members of the club, and lovingly invited me to be a part! We visited my favorite nail salon Savvy Chic Nail Cottage, and had a great time. I have so enjoyed having their laughter and sweet smiles in our neck of the woods.
August 27 - Whale Watching Awesomeness
My niece Summer who was out to visit us wanted to visit Sea World on their vacation out here. After Ryan and I watched Black Fish last year, we have been a bit hesitant about visiting Sea World. I lined up a trip with Captain Dave's Dolphin Safari, Ryan and I have been on multiple whale watching trips with his company and find them beyond enjoyable and wonderfully educational as well! This trip exceeded our expectations with lots of dolphins as well as blue whale sightings.
Here is a video of our day!
August 28 - Angel Girl Fun
Of course we had to wrap our week with our visiting family by going to an Angel's game together! This sweet girl and her red lips encourages me to no end. She makes me want to be courageous with my smile. Some day I might work up to bright red lips, but I'm currently working my red lip gloss. Pi Piti Nan 4 Life!
August 29 - Resting with my Fur Babies
Friday found us with some down time as the family was out and about. I enjoyed spending a few quiet moments napping with these fur babies! It was a great way to end our Staycation!
August 30 - Vegas Fun
We got up early and drove to Las Vegas to meet our friends who were sharing their time share at Tahiti Village off the Vegas Strip! We arrived to amazing burgers at Steak and Shake. Followed by some attempted nap time, secret pizza, and a dance club with fantastic 80's music! We found ourselves in front of the Las Vegas Sign at 4:30AM....I mean seriously...who does that...We Do!!! Once a year...at the most...I'm old...totally old...
August 31 - My Hero
After going to bed at 5:00 AM (Again...I'm so old)...I woke up in terribly pain at 8:30. That kind of pain that makes you writhe in bed, walk in circles, and scream into your pillow as an attempt not to wake up the other 3 adults who went to bed just 3 1/2 hours earlier a bit intoxicated. At 10:30 I finally woke up Ryan who took one look at me, and all but commanded that we head home. So we did, and he once again proved to be the most amazing husband in the world. We ended up at Urgent Care with another diagnosis of kidney stones, referrals to more doctors, and pain medicine. I was so very disappointed that we had to leave Vegas early, but so very thankful of this Man!

The NWT On The Land Collaborative is a collective of partners from government, industry, philanthropy, and beyond, working together to support land-based programs and projects in the NWT. Each of these partner organizations has a representative that participates in quarterly meetings and annual funding decisions. This is the first in a series of profiles about the people and organizations that make the Collaborative possible. You can read the other profiles here.
Winter Haley is a self-described social butterfly, which is part of why she loves her job as an advisor in Community and External Relations at Diavik Diamond Mine: "I engage with local communities, First Nations, and government. I also support our operational teams and workforce internally, so I spend a lot time working with people." Before this, Winter worked in the Business Improvement and Security departments—she started with Diavik in 2008. While she enjoyed both of those positions and learned a lot about day-to-day operations, her longer term goal was a position in Community Relations, in part because she wanted the opportunity to give back. Winter says, "In my current role, I am able to give back to my community and others in the NWT, by meeting with leadership and community members to understand their way of life and by engaging with them to explore ways that Diavik can support initiatives for community benefit."
Winter is a lifelong Northerner. Born and raised in Hay River, she is Dënesųłiné and Ojibwe. A member of the Deninu Kue First Nation, Winter was raised, in part, by her Chipewyan-speaking great grandparents, Ernest and Mary Paulette. Mary and Ernest lived a traditional lifestyle. Winter recalls coming home to a full moose spread out on the kitchen floor or a bag of rabbits sitting on the counter, waiting to be prepared.
Through her work in community relations, Winter has been exposed to other traditional practices, such as raising a teepee, setting nets, dog sledding, and beading. The Collaborative provides another opportunity for Winter to connect with the land and her cultural heritage (learning journeys to funded projects are an important aspect of our work) and to create opportunities for others to do the same. Winter reflects, "Being on the land, in whatever capacity—to spend time with friends and family is a great way for people to connect, learn from each other, and to take time to reflect on what our land provides for us. Personally, it helps put things into perspective and is a healthy way to balance ourselves mentally, physically, spiritually, and emotionally."
Winter's employer has been keeping tabs on the NWT On The Land Collaborative Fund since 2014. The diamond mine is an official partner as of 2017. There were a number of things that inspired Diavik's decision to join the Collaborative, not least of which was the scale of need: "We saw the number of applicants—more than 200, and the fact that applications came from across the territory, with almost every community represented."
Diavik was also impressed by the structure of the Collaborative, including the vital contributions of the community advisors: "The Collaborative provides more than just financial support to recipients, it also includes regional advisors. They guide the process, bring additional resources, and have a better understanding of the needs and desires of Northern communities, which increases the capacity to deliver these important cultural and traditional programs." The company also appreciated the fact that the Collaborative is true to its name, with all of the partners involved in all aspects of the decision-making process.
While this is the first collaborative fund that Diavik has been a part of, providing support to land-based programs is not new to the subsidiary of Rio Tinto. Since the mine opened in 2003, Diavik has been assisting a variety of community programs centred on cultural activities, education, arts, wellness, and safety in the NWT and Western Kitikmeot through their Community Contribution Program. Supporting land-based programs that promote cultural revitalization and sustainability fits well with the company's broader commitment to being a responsible and respectful operator in the NWT.
As part of the Collaborative, Diavik is able to continue this tradition of providing support to land-based programs in local communities in a new way: "It is great for communities to have a one-stop shop for accessing support for land-based programs." The company also recognizes the Collaborative as an important information-sharing tool for partners: "The last application review process brought programs to our attention that we weren't aware of before. The Collaborative helps us to identify and better respond to needs in the communities we work with."
The NWT On The Land Collaborative depends on partners like Diavik Diamond Mine to support land-based initiatives in the NWT. If your organization is interested in becoming a partner, please contact Steve Ellis (firstname.lastname@example.com).

Very good idea indeed to meet up with the activists and philanthropists to enhance cultural progresses. That's a great move. Good Luck in future !

Networking earlier is a source of success for any promotional activity and this is not any exception in terms of DIY book promotion. Years before your are planning to publish the book, you need to start building a network of supporters and reviewers. Always keep a watch and be in touch with those ones who are enthusiastic about your project. Secondly, you must start to contribute to blogs.

You must keep posting on your blog and your postings must be helpful and inspirational and related to the field of your interest and to the subjects of your book.

Extreme lagging, unable to open programs, malware issue?
I began experiencing problems with my computer yesterday. It's a custom build from 2011 that has run flawlessly until yesterday. It suddenly became extremely laggy, some programs won't open, some won't close, Windows error messages I've seen before, circular spinning loading icon when trying to do just about anything, etc.
I've completed this process, and didn't find anything. Bitdefender found a few temp files that I deleted, but as far as I can tell from googling were false positives. I tried an Avira scan but after running for 9 hours overnight it was stuck at less than 2% and wasn't moving.
I don't even know where to begin. Any ideas?

Hello and welcome:
There are many causes for a "slow" computer -- hardware, software, malware, etc.
You might want to try some of the suggestions here (it is an older tutorial, but most of the suggestions are still valid) or here.
>>I would be very wary of any sort of 3rd-party registry "optimizer" or "tweaker" or "cleaner", especially without providing a bit more data about your system. Such programs often cause more harm than good.
Perhaps if you could please download, run and post both logs (FRST.txt and Addition.txt) from FRST, we could know a bit more in order to better assist you. If you are on 64-bit Win7, you will need the 64-bit version of FRST. You may need to temporarily pause your real-time AV in order for it to run. Be sure to re-enable your AV after running the tool.
|My System Specs
|25 Jul 2016
Thanks, MoxieMomma.
I suspect the issues are not hardware related since the issues appeared instantly, and I didn't install any software immediately prior to experiencing the issues. This install of Win7 is over five years old, so I could probably use a fresh install, which I plan to do on an SSD soon, but it's not mandatory - my system was running like new until yesterday.
I don't use optimizers or tweakers. I use ccleaner, but stopped using the registry cleaner a while back once I realized I shouldn't be using it.
Logs are attached.
|My System Specs
|25 Jul 2016
Did you try any of the suggestions in the tutorials for which I provided the links in my previous reply?
I'd like to be able to help you further.
However, your logs show evidence of the system's use to actively pirate licensed Microsoft software.
As this forum has a zero-tolerance policy about piracy (Item #4 in the Forum Rules), I cannot assist you further at this time.
I will defer to the forum mod team and Admins for additional advice.
Perhaps if you replace your pirated software with properly licensed software, someone can provide additional help.
Thank you for your understanding.

The PADI® organization is committed to being a catalyst for change through the implementation of global programs that encourage social and environmental responsibility. By inspiring its network of more than 6400 dive centers and resorts, 133,000 dive professionals, and millions of divers around the globe who all share a common passion for the ocean, PADI aims to make a significant impact on key issues facing the dive industry – and the entire planet.
The Four Pillars of Change, introduced at the DEMA Show 2016, are the foundation of PADI's corporate social responsibility initiatives. PADI pledges to take an active stance on these social and environmental issues and invites all divers to do the same:
- Ocean Health: Take action and support global efforts to ensure a healthy ocean. Continue to partner with Project AWARE® in its efforts to remove marine debris from dive sites and forge partnerships with organizations that are creating positive and lasting impact on the underwater world.
- Marine Animal Protection: Protect marine life biodiversity and elevate voices to save sharks and rays by supporting Project AWARE and other organizations that work to implement protection laws, enact legislation and educate the public.
- People and Community: Help build important diving infrastructure and support training of local people in dive destinations to foster sustainability.
- Health and Wellness: Spotlight inspiring stories of triumph over adversity, illness and hardships that testify to diving's healing power. In diving, many people have found hope for their futures and the PADI organization aims to inspire others to find similar personal transformation and healing, both mentally and physically.
PADI's Four Pillars of Change serve as a platform to empower divers with information to get involved with causes they care about in a tangible way. To maximize efforts, PADI is seeking out partnerships with like-minded organizations whose goals align with the Four Pillars initiative. Creating synergy with other specialized change-agents will provide more opportunities for global impact and lasting change.
"PADI is committed to be a force for good," says PADI Worldwide President and CEO Drew Richardson. "We're privileged to have a powerful legacy to inspire us. By empowering divers and connecting them to the PADI family and global issues relevant to the dive industry, we can help make the world a better place and become an even more powerful catalyst for change. By engaging divers more effectively at the local level globally, global change is inevitable."
The PADI family embodies tremendous human strength with the potential to make a positive difference. Together, we will elevate our purpose as an organization and as passionate individuals and continue to inspire action for the benefit of our ocean, our planet and our local communities.
PADI Members and divers are driving change every day and PADI wants to share their stories to inspire others to do the same. If you have a story you want to share, email email@example.com. If you're ready to join the team that's not only committed to being the best in the world, but also the best for the world, contact PADI.

Village of Lakemore + Me (a Moron) = Lakemoron
The Village of Lakemore, Summit Co., Ohio
Some Villages have their idiots while others have their morons
With the fast approaching Amazon Prime Day on the 11th of July I realized (by way of an email suggesting this) that I should try and finish my new book before then. I have some more to add and a much-needed polish that will take up much of my time so I may be distracted from the site here until it's finished. I have part three to post as well as a new short story about a guard in a library under attack. I will try and do all three (site, short story, and book) this weekend. The new story will be posted soon and part three will be posted by noon EST. thank you for your time.
P.S. if you are reading this could you post a comment below so I know I am not just talking to myself.

Lucozade Energy: Pimp My Summer Ball
How MediaCom Beyond Advertising created a content marketing campaign around Lucozade YES moments that delivered big on creativity and results.
THE BRIEF – Increase Lucozade Energy's association with a student and youth audience
Lucozade Energy needed to promote their YES Moments motto and build association around providing fun and exciting experiences. To get students really engaged in the campaign, we needed to amplify our message beyond traditional ad spots and give them something memorable.
THE IDEA – An integrated media partnership with MTV
We wanted to partner with a media owner whose audience and brand values were closely aligned to Lucozade Energy's. MTV were the perfect large scale, multi-channel platform that could gain us unprecedented access to university campuses, events and exclusive talent.
Working closely with MTV, we developed a 3 phase campaign running across TV, digital and events, supported by paid social and content seeding in three phases:
Firstly, we promoted the partnership and increased visibility through on the ground presence at Club MTV Refresher events.
We then implemented the Pimp my Summer Ball challenge. Playing on MTV's successful Pimp my Ride show, 18 universities were pitted against each other in a battle to get their summer ball pimped by MTV. Each uni vied for the top spot through a twitter competition using the hashtag #YESPimpMySummerBall followed by their uni name.
To extend the campaign to a wider youth audience, we produced a series of YES Challenges, encouraging people to tweet and submit UGC for the chance to win Snowbombing and V Festival tickets.
We've had over 6.9m tweets for Pimp My Summer Ball, an unprecedented amount for a brand campaign.
The competition became the No. 1 UK trend on Twitter in the first few days with no paid social support and the competition entries hit over 27,000% of our KPI target. More than 55,000 people attended the ReFreshers and Summer Ball events, while the winning University (Teesside) sold out with 4,200 students attending their Pimped Summer Ball, headlined by No.1 acts DJ Fresh and Sigma.
Tim Westwood himself announced the winning university on MTV and dwell time on the leader board page reached over 9 minutes. Most importantly, sales are up 8.9% year on year – a big increase considering it's already the UK's biggest energy drink.

Manta or macro
DECEMBER THROUGH TO MARCH usually sees the Maldives manta rays and whale sharks turn up in large numbers in the centre of Ari Atoll.
The currents change at this time of year and flow forcibly into the atoll, pushing through the passes and channels carrying plankton-rich water that accumulates in the relative slacks created by the underwater topography.
The ocean-going pelagic species that rely on this food source follow suit. We were there in January, and intended to do the same.
Pea soup is the best way to describe the water we had just entered; thick with countless tiny animals suspended in the current, forming a blanket from the surface to around 25m. We drifted through it, sharing our journey with redtooth trigger fish in their thousands, feeding mercilessly on the hapless critters forming this saltwater broth.
Dense shoals of bright orange anthias, expanding and contracting around coral outcrops, resembled smokeless bonfires. The little orange and yellow fish seemed to flicker as they joined in the bonanza.
These conditions were hardly conducive to good wide-angle photography, yet there I was with my camera fitted with a dome-port and super wide fish-eye lens.
We were hoping to get some shots of mantas as they fed or visited cleaning stations, though they hadn't arrived in the hefty numbers in which they are normally encountered by divers at this time of year.
It was a long wait. We'd been drifting with the current for more than an hour before we saw a ray glide over the reef – a huge specimen. Thrilled, I got into a position to which I hoped this leviathan would come close enough for some decent images. It did, and I snapped a couple of shots before it vanished into the murk to continue its lunch.
I had only 50bar left, so dismissed any idea of waiting to see if it would return.
Flicking through the images I had taken I was disappointed to find only 15, back-scatter making at least half of them unusable; I just hadn't found the right conditions for the fisheye to work its usual magic. This was a very unproductive dive in photographic terms. I needed to up my game and come back from the next one with a full memory card, but to do so meant altering my expectations, target species and technique.
OUR TEMPORARY HOME was at the Diamonds Resort on the island of Thudufushi, recently refurbished with the addition of 25 luxury water bungalows stretching out over the shallow lagoon.
The island is in the centre of Ari Atoll and puts the area's best dive-sites within a maximum of an hour's boat-ride away. Every day we saw a flotilla of safari boats moored nearby with their attendant dive dhonis delivering their guests to the local reefs.
Some liveaboards stayed for days on end, a clear indication of just how many decent sites there were. The Manta site at Panettone, 10 minutes from the jetty, was almost the island's house-reef.
iDive is owned by Italian dive-centre veteran Franco Ceno who, like me, was enjoying a break from the bleak European winter. His centres on Thudufushi and its sister island Athuruga are run with typical Italian style and flair by European staff whose enthusiasm is infectious.
Guides Stefano, Fabio and Jessie were keen to show me their favourite sites and find suitable photographic subjects, and we all concluded that smaller species would be ideal in the reduced visibility.
I changed my camera set-up to a macro configuration, hoping that the next dive wouldn't find me among a bevy of mantas and whale sharks.
It's amazing how much gets missed when you glide over a reef armed with a wide-angle camera. Your mind is set on searching for large animals, vistas or groups of fish – change to a macro set-up and your focus inevitably shifts to the little stuff. You tend to search an area more thoroughly and, when interesting critters are found, study their form and behaviour before pressing the shutter.
At Miri Gili Thila, accompanied by Franco and away from the main group, we took our time exploring just three small areas. The first was under an overhang, stuffed with red squirrelfish, soldierfish and a few bannerfish all competing for space and cover.
In small alcoves tiny cleaner wrasse and shrimps waited for their customers to arrive for a daily wash and brush-up. Moray eels were tucked away in crevices, looking menacing but showing no interest in feeding, and they allowed me to invade their personal space and grab a few shots.
At the base of a small coral outcrop was an anemone with some resident Clark's clownfish, one of them busy removing coral debris from its nesting hole. Tirelessly it would grab a piece in its mouth, swim out and drop it, over and over again. The housework needs doing wherever you are.
A COMMON SIGHT on these reefs are mantis shrimps, their bright colouring and crazy eyes putting them on nearly everyone's list of favourite critters.
We found one scurrying across the reef, stopping to pose only for seconds before disappearing down its burrow.
Small holes left in the coral by departed tubeworms make ideal homes for blennies and gobies, and a careful search will normally find one or two in residence. We discovered a tiny fang blenny in one – its orange, yellow and neon blue-striped livery and comical smile made a great subject.
Now knowing what to look for, we found more and more of different species and hues, some even confident enough to venture outside their refuges.
The reef top was next, as our nitrox was becoming depleted. It was a garden of hard corals, full of shoaling fish.
Scorpion and stonefish are ambush predators that stay put when approached, making them a popular choice for the photographer, though their bland camouflage and reef floor location can be challenging.
I spent time trying to find an angle that would show them in all their glory, but the results were disappointing. Still, the switch to macro was working and my memory card bursting with images.
Dega Thila, one of my all-time favourite sites, comprises three pinnacles connected by a saddle, the tallest rising to within 5m of the surface. The sides are covered in rich hard coral growth with small caverns full of soft corals, whips and gorgonians.
For me the reef top is the draw, with lots of bright purple anemones and an abundance of small fish life, including schools of brightly coloured fusiliers. Glassfish and golden sweepers can be found between the pinnacles.
Predatory jack, barracuda and big tuna are constantly on the prowl, forcing the baitfish to shoal up in tight groups; the hunters get confused trying to pick out individuals.
I shared their dilemma, frustration setting in as I tried to pick out single fish to capture on camera, and was soon searching with the guides for easier subjects. We found three Oriental sweetlips patiently waiting to be seen by a busy group of cleaner wrasse.
Cleaning stations are always a good bet for the photographer, as the fish are relaxed and torpid in apparent ecstasy as the cleaners go about their business.
I WATCHED AS A PAIR of tiny wrasse wriggled their way into the flared gills and out through the open mouth of a large sweetlips, picking off parasites and dead scales on their way. The fish were so engrossed in their activity that they allowed me to get close.
I love anemonefish and never tire of watching them scurry around their hosts. I noticed small moon wrasse and two-spot damselfish sharing in the activity, apparently immune from the stinging tentacles; surprisingly the clownfish seemed happy to share their real estate with the interlopers.
With so many fish crowded into such a small area, living space appeared to be at a premium.
A bumpy 15-minute speedboat ride next morning saw Franco and I at Athuruga for breakfast with the resort's iDive staff; we were there to join them on a trip to Shark Thila, about an hour north by dhoni. Dive guide Mara Restelli volunteered to be my buddy and model for the day.
I'd been assured that the water was less plankton-rich in this part of the atoll, so I'd changed my rig back to wide angle. Turtles would be readily found, said Mara, with a number of residents bound to show up.
She was right. We joined a small loggerhead going about its business within seconds of reaching the reef, and managed to grab some portrait shots before it moved on.
Further down the thila, Mara posed in front of a large anemone bursting with damsels and black-footed clownfish, and suddenly I just wanted to be spending the whole dive here with my macro set-up, and felt we were squandering valuable time finning around the reef in search of nice panoramas. Shark Thila is a world-class site full of marine life and fantastic scenery; but the past few days had been great fun, and now I was missing the thrill of a critter hunt!
SOME SITES VISITED by the iDive team are known only to them. They don't want the areas besieged by safari-boats, so they guard the GPS locations closely.
Himandu Kandu and Warren Thila provide examples. Exclusive to guests at Thudufushi and Athuruga and about equidistant from both islands, they're highly regarded by all who visit them.
"We found this area about 15 years ago and have been enjoying shark and manta encounters here ever since, Franco told me. "We try not to let anyone else know about them to reduce the pressure by divers on the sharks, which will hopefully continue to show up for a long time.
"There's also an overhang frequented by large numbers of bannerfish at 30m and an area that's home to a huge shoal of trevally," said Franco. "This depth should put us below the plankton bloom, providing better visibility."
Franco was right about the overhang; it was stuffed with yellow bannerfish just hanging in the slack water, a deep purple gorgonian rising from the sand and orange soft corals covering the roof to create a colourful frame to the scene.
We slowly made our way to the back of the opening, trying to line up the fish with the blue water as a backdrop. As one, the fish moved out.
No problem, I knew that if we stayed still and quiet long enough they'd come back and carry on doing their thing. I was right, and we were soon encircled.
We then moved shallower, joining the plankton and going with the flow. Drift dives are synonymous with the Maldives – the water speeds up as open-ocean currents get squeezed through the channels.
Flying with the current was great fun, eagle rays and a pair of mantas joining us for a short while. Caverns offered a welcome respite from the current, so we flew from one to another on our way.
Over an hour under water, and with our gas and no-deco times diminishing, we arrived at the point where the sharks normally show themselves.
There they were, a mixture of a dozen whitetip and larger grey reef sharks circling 10m below us. Reluctantly we had to finish the dive without spending any quality time with the guys in the grey suits.
Back on the dhoni the rest of the group excitedly shared tales of mantas and sharks. Most were saying they'd enjoyed the dive of a lifetime.
The Maldives tourist islands have changed dramatically since my first trip more than 20 years ago. What were once rough and ready (but affordable) dive islands with a Robinson Crusoe feel have been upgraded, restructured and turned into luxury resorts.
JUST LIKE THE REEFS, space is at a premium, so it's not surprising that water villas built on stilts over the lagoons have appeared on most islands, increasing the room numbers and providing privacy and exclusivity.
This has proved popular at the Diamonds resorts as they're fully booked throughout the high seasons, with repeat guests outnumbering newcomers by around two to one. With nearly a third of guests over the water, the island never seems to feel busy.
Even this idyllic republic isn't immune from political unrest; last year saw the resignation of the Maldives' first democratically elected President Mohamed Nasheed, who stood down in the wake of riots on the streets in the capital Malé, amid reports of a widespread police mutiny that left his four-year presidency untenable.
The old pre-democracy order promptly resumed power under Mohammed Waheed Hassan and the rumbling dispute as to who has the right to govern has not yet ceased. But unrest has hardly been noticed by tourists visiting the country, as the airport is on a separate island to the capital and the resort islands are "an ocean away".
The islands and politics may have changed, but under water the Maldives remains the same. The only decisions you should need to make are which wine to have with your dinner and which lens to put on the camera.

Children and staff from Ysgol Penybryn, Bethesda, with members of Balchder Bro Ogwen and Bethesda Litterpickers. Pictured on the right are local Gwynedd Councillor Ann Williams and Gwynedd Council's Tidy Towns Officer, Jonathan Neale
Bethesda groups join forces to tackle rubbish
Two local community groups and a Bethesda primary school recently joined forces to carry out a joint effort to tackle rubbish in the area.
Members of Balchder Bro Ogwen, Bethesda Litter pickers and Year 6 pupils from Ysgol Pen-y-bryn came together to clean-up an area between the village and the old quarry at Pant Dreiniog which is now a popular recreational area.
Gwynedd Council's Tidy Towns Officer, Jonathan Neale supplied the equipment before everyone warmed up with their litter pickers and collected over 30 bags of litter throughout the day, including two builders' dumpy bags, a car bonnet and child's seat. The rubbish was later removed by the Council's Street Cleaning Unit.
Councillor John Wynn Jones, Gwynedd Council Cabinet Members for Environment, said: "There are numerous voluntary groups currently working in Gwynedd with the support of Tidy Towns. Their efforts in looking after their environment by cleaning up litter from our communities shows how much community pride exists. This is extremely heartening, even though it's also a sad reflection on how an irresponsible minority can blight the local environment for all."
Local Gwynedd Councillor Ann Williams,. Who represents the Ogwen ward on Gwynedd Council, noted: "It was good to get the chance to work with Bethesda Litterpickers, and especially also with the schoolchildren, who were once again very keen to help. The more people who show community pride, the more things will improve. Thanks to Tidy Towns for supplying the equipment and to all who contributed to the event, especially the children and Ceira Wyn from Ysgol Pen-y-bryn."
Louise Harvey, from Bethesda Litterpickers, added: "It always makes me a little bit sad that some people can behave so badly towards the world we live in and treat it with no respect. But then, when we all meet up like this and do such a brilliant job, I feel very blessed that there really are some totally wonderful people in this world too. Thank you so much to Pen-y-Bryn, Balcher Bro Ogwen and our very own Bethesda Litter Pickers volunteers."
Ceren Lloyd, Ysgol Pen-y-Bryn headteacher, said: "As a school situated in the middle of Bethesda we are very aware for the need to care for our environment. Our school's Green Group have a specific environmental brief and meet regularly to discuss and decide upon projects and we're therefore very pleased to get the chance to work with the community once again at Pant Dreiniog."
Those who discard litter in a public place are committing a crime. Anyone found guilty of littering in any public place could face a fine of up to £2,500. To report any instances of fly-tipping, contact Gwynedd Council's street enforcement team on 01766 771000.
Gwynedd's Tidy Towns scheme is funded by a Welsh Government grant which aims to improve the local environment.
For more information about Gwynedd Council's Tidy Towns scheme or if you would like to start your own community group contact the team on 01766 771000 or send an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com if you'd like to request a community pack.
