Happy Sunday!
Today let's talk about why feeding a wet/raw diet to a cat is so important.
Cat's are in a constant state of dehydration so, when feeding kibble to a cat, they have to drink about 1 cup of water per 10lbs of body weight in a 24hr period, in warmer weather they have to almost double that amount. Unfortunately, cat's are not designed to drink water out of a bowl like dogs. Cat's rely completely on their diet to get the moisture they need.
--Most cats on kibble become overweight due to carbohydrates,
fats, and other additives that cat's wouldn't naturally eat.
--Cat's are also more prone to diabetes, thyroid issues, kidney
problems and liver failure when on kibble.
--Raw or wet food can keep your cat's system healthy and
keep them at their natural weight.
It can be hard to switch a cat completely to wet or raw, but simply mixing it to their diet or placing the wet food next to their normal kibble each day can get them used to eating it.
If you would like to learn more about feeding raw or wet food to your cat, stop by our store and we can help you choose the correct diet for your cat, and give you some pointers on how to switch from kibble to raw/wet food.

Clint Dempsey scored twice in the federation's centennial celebration to become the second-leading scorer in U.S. history with 35 goals. Jozy Altidore had a goal (his first since 2011) and added an assist in a big performance before World Cup qualifying. There was also an epic own-goal by German goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen you'll want to see. News started to trickle out Saturday that Evans was training with the starters, and he didn't disappoint in his opportunity. You'll notice that in player ratings from ESPN.com, SI.com, The New York Times and MLSsoccer.com. He was also the subject of features from the league website, Goal.com and Yanks Abroad. "Brad Evans showed us exactly what we wanted to see," said coach Jurgen Klinsmann. "… This gives us now a good option. He took his chance. Simple as that." Klinsmann said he's been talking with Sounders FC coach Sigi Schmid about starting Evans at right back and praised the 28-year-old's vision, technique, strength, 1v1 defending and overlapping ability. The U.S. depth in midfield — e.g. Michael Bradley, Jermaine Jones — was always going to make defense a better place for him to break through. The Belgium friendly Wednesday was apparently too close to Evans' last action with Seattle, and that's why Klinsmann waited for the Germany game to make the move. Evans said on Twitter he would "never forget it." "If you're starting games with the national team, that's everybody's ultimate goal," Evans said at USsoccer.com. "All that matters is the next game, so you learn from this one, watch the tape and see what you can do better. I'm still learning the position first and foremost. By no means do I know the position yet, but I try to use what I know from playing midfield." Let's not forget Eddie Johnson got some playing time for the U.S., too, in front of 47,359 fans at a blistering hot RFK Stadium.. He subbed on in the second half to earn his 50th international appearance. It was an all-Sounder right flank as Johnson played wide right and also got good reviews in the previously linked ratings. The qualifiers are coming up: Friday in Jamaica, June 11 vs. Panama in Seattle and June 18 vs. Honduras in Salt Lake City. Elsewhere, the U.S. women beat regional rival Canada, 3-0, behind goals from Sounders Women alumni Alex Morgan (two) and Sydney Leroux. Leroux's celebration was a big talking point afterward.

Clarins Gold Christmas Crackers
These are our perennial favourites for the Christmas table – because they are, simply, cracking. Who needs a wooden gyroscope or a plastic magnifying glass when you could pull a total treat: a mini Beauty Flash Balm, or a Hand & Nail Treatment Cream, among other 'baby' Clarins treats…? The gold crackers (complete with 'Beauty Bible pink' ribbons – thanks, guys!) are exclusive to Selfridges (see below for branches).
Depends how many guests you're expecting but you could 'top up' with cheapo gold crackers from BHS (or Poundland!) for the boys, who always seem keener on the jokes than the gifts anyway. But these are much-loved by everyone from your great-aunt to your teenage sister.
But no unseemly scrambles for the moisturiser which just shot across the dining room, please…
UK readers find Clarins Christmas Crackers exclusively at Selfridges Oxford Street, Selfridges Manchester Exchange Square, Selfridges Manchester Trafford and Selfridges Birmingham/£39 for six crackers and at www.selfridges.com - buy here

Material Issues
To maintain a clear understanding of stakeholders' needs and the ability to analyze them, the Company lists several different ways stakeholders can contact Fubon in the web page dedicated to them and welcomes their opinions and feedback at any time. The six teams under the ESG Task Force also stay in contact with stakeholders to determine if their needs have been responded to effectively.
In early 2018, Fubon Financial Holdings hosted a stakeholder's forum, to which it invited important stakeholders for a face-to-face interaction and communication. The forum also provided an opportunity to know the material issues with which the stakeholders are mostly concerned; in that way, Fubon avoids any gaps in understanding between the Company and the stakeholders. On the other hand, the forum also allowed the stakeholders to understand all variety of actions that the Company has taken for many years in the area of environment, society and governance.
After the forum, we distributed questionnaires to stakeholders, employees, and executives to investigate the impact, the level of impact, and impact on business operations effected by the material issues. We have collected 29 questionnaires in total. We have grouped 20 material issues in total—3 related to the environment, 10 related to social concerns, and 7 involving corporate governance.
In addition, we adjusted the materiality matrix as in the following: There are three axes of the matrix. The x-axis represents the level of materiality regarding the Company operation. The y-axis represents the level of impact on evaluation and decision-making for the stakeholders. The z-axis reflects the level of positive and negative impact caused by the enterprise and its value chains on the three aspects (i.e., the environmental, social, and economic). The size of graphic bubbles of the matrix represents the level of positive/negative impact of each material issue on environment, social and economic aspects of Fubon Financial Holdings and its value chains. Each issue then is classified as a key issue, important issue, or continuous issue. Together, all these elements form the materiality matrix. Each issue is disclosed according to its level of importance:
|Issues Classification
|Key Issues
|Important Issues
|Continuous Issues
|These issues highly affect stakeholders, are essential to business operation, and have significant impact on ESG.
|These issues are identified as material in one to two aspects on the three-axes of the matrix. They are considered important to business operation.
|These issues are identified as material in zero to one aspects on the three-axes of the matrix. They mostly belong to basic management issues in daily operation.
|Level of Disclosure:
|The strategic goal, management, and performance of the issue is disclosed in detail in the report and other channels.
|The management and performance of each issue are fully explained in the report.
|The report only discloses the basic performance tracking results.

Tribune Staff Reporter
NEARLY 1500 job-seekers turned up to the Fusion Superplex entertainment venue yesterday, as the company seeks to fill up to 80 part-time and full-time openings.
Trevare Sherman, Fusion's Chief Human Resource Officer, called the turnout "unexpectedly tremendous," insisting the large turnout surprised many of the company's senior personnel.
According to Ms Sherman, the planned introduction of Fusion's new 'Banquets and Events' service and the expansion of its cinema operation, raised a need for more workers.
She said an overview of the company's metrics and past hiring schemes suggested that a mass hiring exercise would best deliver the cross section of potential employees being sought.
"We knew we needed to fill several specific roles, as well as screen as many general workers as possible," she told The Tribune, "that is what led to everything you see here today."
Ms Sherman added: "Fusion is set to, in the coming months, role out our new Banquet and Events programme, so we are going to need a lot of service workers; so waiters, servers, bartenders and the like. We are also looking to fill our standard customer service roles, concierge and front of the house theatre attendants now."
"So we knew whatever route we took, it would have most effect if we opened ourselves up to the idea of having as many persons interested in these posts, come in, and be screened virtually at the same time.
"The idea of a job fair was settled on and we knew our past hiring exercises went well when we got the Department of Labour and its Labour on the Blocks team involved, so we decided to keep it going."
Ms Sherman said Fusion presented the Department of Labour with an overview of the types of employees it is seeking, resulting in a multi-tiered collaboration ahead of yesterday's job fair.
As a result, Ms Sherman said the fair attracted "hundreds of young and eager Bahamians interested in finding their next opportunity."
She said: "When Fusion opened its door last year, the idea was to engage as many Bahamians as possible when it came to our employment efforts. We wanted the young, inexperience workers that had an interest in learning on the job. We also made it known that we were after those recently retired persons that wanted, or felt that they still had something more to offer.
"We at Fusion wanted to build a diverse team because we viewed our consumers as diverse. We wanted a scenario where, when our customers walk-in they felt welcome by persons similar to themselves. That is what our hiring reflected then, and that is what we hope to continue with moving forward," Ms Sherman added.
Meanwhile, spearheading efforts for the Department of Labour, was Christopher Farrington, Public Employment Services Officer.
He told The Tribune the fair marked the Department of Labour's latest scheme to pair job seekers with employment opportunities.
He said the department has, in recent months, opened talks with dozens of businesses across the country to develop a "constant database of openings" to work in conjunction with its worker database."The Department of Labour understands that the job market doesn't take breaks, therefore we had to build a system that operated identical to that. We needed to develop databases on both sides that detailed job openings, as well as qualified job seekers.
"Events like the one you see here today are working in line with that idea of bringing the two sides together. We have persons here today that would have, either before today or at some point this morning, visited our website and submit their qualifications and resumés. We would then go through them and work to pair them with companies in need of their services," Mr Farrington said.
"Some time it is immediate, and sometime it takes a long time, but the idea is if there is an opening out there, we want to pair persons that are unemployed or underemployed to that vacancy," he added.
A large percentage of the job seekers interviewed by The Tribune yesterday ranged between the ages of 17 and 28.
That range almost directly covers the age range for youth unemployment statistics both locally and internationally.
In the Caribbean Development Bank's (CDB) most recent report, youth unemployment in the Caribbean is among the highest in the world, with the unemployment rate for those aged 15 to 24 reaching 42.7 percent.
Moreover, the most recent Labour Force Survey showed the unemployment rate for young women reached 24.1 percent, compared with 22.4 percent for young men; and 23.1 percent for both sexes.
More poignantly, youth unemployment for women was the highest recorded for all age groups.
One young mother with whom The Tribune spoke at yesterday's fair applauded the company for the initiative.
Asking not to be pictured and identified only by her surname, Ms Lewis, a 23-year-old mother of one, said she encouraged many of her friends and family to attend the fair, stressing that job opportunities in the Bahamas were now few and far between.
"(The government) is saying things are getting better now, I don't know if that's the case. What I do know is these events are the best chance for people like me to get something to do. You know, for most people, it's only a few places hiring; the hotels, Super Value and the number house.
"Fusion on the list now, so you have to come and see what you could get. I told all my friends and sisters to come out with me today because it's a struggle for all of us. I tell them come try their luck."
Shortly after speaking with The Tribune, Lewis was called into a holding area. Once seated, a general announcement was made to inform improperly dressed job seekers that their attire could result in them being turned away.
The announcement, made by Mr Farrington, dashed the hopes of four of the six persons who came to the fair with Ms Lewis.
Two men, one dressed t-shirt and jeans, the other a pair of cargo shorts and a hoodie, said they came dressed in the most "presentable clothes" they had.
Another young woman in the group who refused to speak directly with The Tribune, but could be overheard, said her short skirt was the only thing black she owned.
She could be heard shouting over to Ms Lewis: "I don't think they'd let me in (like) this. This man done saying if you ain't dressed right, it don't make sense wasting time."
The comment resulted in a shrug by Lewis who, despite being visibly bothered by the process of her friends being turned away, continued on with the process.
Just before moving into a pre-interview room, she said: "It's frustrating, but what can you do? We need work so we have to do what we can."

As mentioned before, our bird box camera was knocked by the birds when they were building their nest and so although we know we have some Blue Tit chicks in the next we haven't been able to see them properly. Today one of them hopped out of the nest and onto the grass and straw next to the door – right where the camera is pointing! Lots of children and staff got to see the chicks during lunchtime, but here is a photo for those who missed out:
As soon as its parents returned the chick was pushed back into the main nest with its siblings!

Is Stoneyfield Rewards Worth the Trouble?
There are a lot of rewards programs out there that really aren't worth the hassle. However, I'd say that the Stoneyfield Rewards Program provides a decent payoff, especially if you buy organic yogurt products regularly.
Since my last post about the Stoneyfield Rewards Program in October, I've racked up 50 points just making my normal yogurt purchases. I redeemed 25 points for a free 32-ounce yogurt. A coupon for the yogurt came in the mail within a couple weeks.
My biggest complaint about the program is that the codes are very difficult to read. It usually takes me two or three tries to get the code entered into my account. Also, I noticed today that the list of rewards have dwindled a bit. I hope that my preferred reward (a 32-ounce yogurt) makes its way back eventually.
If you are saving your lids for the codes, consider mailing in four of them to get a free reusable yogurt cup. Details are on the lids of the 32-ounce yogurts.
By the way, the Stoneyfield Rewards Program ends on March 10, 2010.

I've been wanting to make a few changes to our typical menu and grocery list. So this past week I tried making our own veggie stock and chicken stock. I also made homemade granola and a giant batch of pizza dough. And this week I'll be trying out granola bars and a new bread recipe, as well as making a big batch of soup so I can stick some in the freezer. It's fun to put on an apron on my days off.
As a result of all these homemade yummies, I've been eating better this week. Breakfast is yogurt and granola and lunch is usually a spinach, cranberry, and feta salad. Yum! If you buy healthy food, you'll eat healthier.
Last week I had an engagement session and a wedding. Hello wedding season! You sneaked up on me! (Check back Wednesday for Whitney and Brandon's engagement session! I'm so excited to show it off!)
There are only 9 days left in tax season! Can I get an amen? Because Ryan has been so busy, we haven't been able to work on very many house projects. We have 4 or 5 smaller projects that are either half done or that we're itching to start, but we were missing something for it. So we took a little trip to Home Depot. (Long time no see, pal!) We picked out some pretty flowers for our front flower bed, grabbed a handful of spray paint cans, some supplies for our pendant lighting, and a golden yellow paint sample. I'll be instagramming some of the results of that shopping trip this week, so be sure to follow me @caitlingerresphoto.
Ryan and I have been trying to pin down a date for an Ikea trip, so we sat down last night with a printed April and May calendar and started filling stuff in. And yikes, our schedule is getting full! I'm itching to get to the land of Swedish furniture, so I hope we can fit it in soon!


text: Sometimes I think the denials come from an unwillingness to accept that they have unwittingly associated themselves with a person who is capable of such an evil act and that by acknowledging that they have come to realise that it is true they are somehow guilty by association. Other times (like it appears to be with Michelle Phillips) the constant denial comes purely from self interest - in that it would hurt her royalties, Chynna's royalties etc. Some people can't and won't see beyond their own wants and needs. I know of a case where a woman was told her new man was a convicted child molester and not only continued the relationship but also coached her kids not to say anything bad about him when child protection workers got involved but also went into nuclear meltdown against the third party who warned her and then reported her when she wouldn't ditch the guy. To her the fact that he treated HER well was more important than anything else. It still makes my blood boil to remember it and I will never be able to let my hatred of her die for what she exposed her kids to.

Best advanced compact cameras – November 2016.
Back in 2007/8 during my degree at University of Wales, I was lucky enough to work at Jessops branch in Cardiff. I will never forget weird and fantastic cameras that would come in stock which was impossible to give the best advice to customers which one to buy - some wanted ''pink camera'', some ''£50 wonder camera'' while others were open to suggestions. Of course, price was always a deciding factor in most cases, from cheap, budget, bridge and high-end cameras and meet customers who came from different backgrounds and with different photographic need from expensive to cheap compact cameras. While cheap compacts are no longer popular, more advanced compacts are still important. Read more

How Brexit Could Devastate the Film Industry
The UK's secession from the EU will have far-reaching consequences, some of which will inevitably impact the movies.

I, Daniel Blakedepicts a United Kingdom beset by poverty, unemployment, and defunct social services. Its disenfranchised working class—though skilled, capable, and experienced—is unable to maintain the basic rights to life, let alone secure a living wage. The titular character pursues every option available to him, only to find himself caught in the snares of long lines and red tape that appear all but designed to cast him out to the streets.

The BBC Concert Orchestra presents a programme of ballet music chosen by its Conductor Laureate and Principal Guest Conductor of The Royal Ballet, Barry Wordsworth.
Charles Mackerras' extraordinarily effective musical score in his 1954 collaboration with choreographer John Cranko - The Lady and the Fool - makes use of lesser-known music from a number of Verdi's operas. The comic ballet tells the story of Moondog, a poor but cheerful clown who falls in love with the sophisticated society beauty La Capricciosa who eventually chooses him over her many wealthy suitors.
Mark-Anthony Turnage's Trespass, which was written for The Royal Ballet's Metamorphosis: Titian project in 2012, and William Walton's complex and symbolic ballet score and re-working of JS Bach's cantatas in Frederick Ashton's The Wise Virgins completes this enchanting programme at Watford Colosseum.
Admission is on a first-come, first-served basis. Please note that as not everyone who asks for tickets uses them, to make sure we have a full house we send out more tickets than there are places. We do our best to get the numbers right, but unfortunately we occasionally have to disappoint people so please arrive early.

Dan Smith and Louis McCubbin are celebrating Hampshire Junior Pairs glory, writes Dave Wildman.
The Southsea Waverley talents booked a second trip to the national championships at Royal Leamington Spa with the victory.
And their club will represent the east in the County Club after a 10-shot win over Cowplain in the regional final.
Cowplain suffered further disappointment when their Rowland Hospital Cup defence was halted in the second round.
They lost by 24 shots at Leigh Park, while last year's runners-up, Priory, went down by 28 to Alexandra B.
At Swordsands, second-division Naismith beat Waterlooville A by 14.
Also through to the last eight are Rowner, Portsmouth Water, Southsea Waverley B and Bedhampton.
In the Portsmouth & District League, Priory's hopes of chasing down Waverley at the top of division one were dealt a blow.
They fell to a five-shot defeat to Lee-on-the-Solent – with Nigel Mundy's rink doing their best to win it single-handedly.
Lee and now joint second on shot difference, while Waverley are 64 points clear at the top.
The leaders ensured Fareham are still looking nervously over their shoulder with a 23-shot victory.
Waverley won on three rinks – led by Gary Starks' quartet. Charlie Bailey's rink prevented a whitewash.
Alexandra made it two on the trot as they thrashed strugglers Bedhampton by 49 – with big wins on the rinks of Carl Baggot and Steve Feilder.
Rowner are also deep in trouble after a 16-shot loss at Leigh Park.
Ben Cope's rink led the way for Leigh, while Rowner are now 24 points from safety.
Vospers eased their relegation fears – beating Waterlooville by 27.
They only won one rink but the 33-shot success of Terry Smith's quartet was key.
In division two, leaders Cowplain beat Naismith by seven.
Naismith put late pressure on the leaders but the turning point came on the 20th end of Mike Hyland's match, where he was poised six down.
A trail of the jack saw him turn that into two shots and ease the pressure on his Cowplain team-mates.
Milton Park kept up the pressure with a 36-shot win at Hayling Island.
Mick Molloy's rink led the way with a 20-shot victory. Dave Friend's Hayling rink grabbed a tie.
Gosport banked maximum points in a 55-shot win over Crofton – with only Ken Stanbury's rink not managing a double-digit margin.
Brent Riste's rink recorded a 14-shot success to help Portsmouth Water win by 15 at Denmead.
Star & Crescent recovered from a savaging at Cowplain to inflict a 40-shot victory over Purbrook Heath. They were led by the 34-shot win on Simon Filippi's quartet.
In division three, leaders College Park recovered from two defeats the previous week to beat second-placed Cosham Park by 21 shots.
That defeat allowed Phoenix to leapfrog Cosham into second spot after their three-shot win at Pembroke Gardens.
The triumph was all down to David Blowe's rink as their 12-shot victory was Phoenix's only winning score.
Gas Social moved into third with a 52-shot win at Emsworth. They won on all rinks.

The Awesome Toronto winner this month is David Carey of LoveCRAFT T.O. Winner's Q&A:
1) Congratulations! What's your project all about?
Thank you! It's not everyday that someone hands you a paper bag full of money and says "go forth and make your City more awesome". We feel really lucky to live in Toronto and can't wait to marginally increase our collective awesomeness quotient.
LoveCRAFT T.O. is a roaming vending machine that will sell handmade art and craftwork. A vintage cigarette machine will be rescued, transformed, and filled with art. For just $5 or $10, patrons will be able to purchase unique work from local designers, artists, artisans, and craft-makers. LoveCRAFT will spend about 2 months in each location, continuing to travel around various locations in the City.
2) When do you think you'll have the project actually selling art? Any ideas on the initial venue?
LoveCRAFT is inspired by a similar project in Pittsburgh (the "Craft-o-tron"!), so our first step will be to connect with them for their advice. We hope to be up and running by Summer 2013. There's still a lot of work to be done before we can consider artist submissions. First, we have to secure the machine so we know details on sizing, selection, etc. We're also looking forward to enlisting some community partners.
The Catering & Events Manager at The Gladstone was nice enough to offer us their space for the launch of LoveCRAFT. We think that's perfect, since that's where our Awesome Foundation grant was awarded. After The Gladstone, we'll likely venture outside of west end. We want to make sure that LoveCRAFT T.O. roams all throughout the City, both within arts/craft hubs and beyond.
3) I'm an artist / art lover and I'd like to be a part of your project! Were can I follow your work, and how can I get in touch?
In the meantime, people can start following our new Twitter feed @LoveCRAFT_TO. Soon we'll also have a Facebook account so people can start getting in touch then. Stay tuned!

Well, I fell short of my 20-scary-movies-in-31-days goal, but only by four days. Happily, that's due in part to a recent glut of freelance work and some other writing-related stuff. I'll give it the ole college try again next year. In the meantime, here's one for the road, and a belated happy Halloween! For my final Halloween-o-Thon entry, I decided to go light -- especially since I anticipated hitting pause repeatedly to run to the door with candy bowl and greetings for the hordes of trick-or-treaters. Turns out, my neighborhood is pretty thin on trick-or-treaters, and now I'm drowning in Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and mini Twixes. This is not the worst problem to have.
Somehow, I've never managed to see a single Final Desination movie. I was its target audience -- a horror-loving teenager in the year 2000 -- but managed not to succumb to the lure of Devon Sawa and a brunette Ali Larter. Now, as a hardened and embittered 36-year-old, I found the movie sufficiently cheesy. The movie's honestly got a weird mix of tones, at once earnest (mostly thanks to Sawa's performance as a kid determined to thwart an already-thwarted death) and hilarious (intentionally? unintentionally? The bus death and Seann William Scott's beheading were both laugh-out-loud moments for me) and a little tense (whatever its issues, the film does build little moments of anxiety pretty effectively).
Amazingly, it also manages to portray one startlingly human moment. Once a handful of French students dodge death, it starts stalking them one by one, beginning with poor Tod (Chad Donella), whose brother died in the plane crash he was also supposed to die in. Toilet water and the thinnest, wiriest shower curtain string conspire to strangle Tod, whose death will look to everyone else like a suicide.
It's a lengthy-ish sequence as Tod's feet slip and slide against the tub porcelain while he struggles to stand. His floundering lasts long enough for him to glance wildly around the room for a way to free himself. At a particular moment, his eyes dart to the left and he stares at something. The camera assumes his point of view for a moment, and we see what he's looking at: a couple of stuffed bath toys on a wicker shelf. The stare back at him with their blank eyes and silly grins. They don't offer any hope of escape, but the camera lingers on them a moment.
For all the movie's back-and-forth about death's design and who's going to die and who's going to live, this seemed to me like the moment that got to the heart of what it must be like to actually die violently. Tod is dying; there's nothing he can do about it. And in his last moments, he focuses on something completely useless and mundane. In that moment, I can imagine him thinking, Is this all there is? And the answer is yes, this is all there is. Life -- and death -- is violent and mundane, and also terrible and silly and wonderful and dumb and frustrating and exhilarating, all at the same time.
It was one real moment in an otherwise pretty goofy movie. And kind of a bummer of a note to end this post on. But hey -- fall back, people! Happy daylight savings time!
