If you're like me, you're a fiction writer that struggles with creating so-called "fully-developed" characters. Rather than living, breathing people on the page, they end up more like cardboard cutouts in a wheelbarrow with no will of their own, waiting to be pushed along to the next plot point.
But, like me, you're getting better. You know that characters have desires and obstacles that get in the way of those desires. You know that even the most seemingly flawless of heroes have their dark sides, and that they must face them to get stronger (or weaker, if they succumb to their darkness).
I mean, that's what real people do, too!
Think about it. Day in and day out, you're faced with a choice: get up from bed, or stay there. Face the world, or don't. Steal that TV you see in the store, or don't. We all wrestle with inner and external demons of some kind–even the ones that don't look like they do.
So, what gives? You know all this stuff about characters and character development, but something just isn't clicking.
Care to take a guess what it is?
Your character development habits.
"Round" vs "Flat"
A "round" character is as close to a real life person as they can get. Like any other human being, we know how they act in different situations, and they usually end up, by the end of the story, much different than they were at the beginning of the story, because humans grow and change. If this description sounds familiar to you, it's because many central characters and protagonists in stories are round characters.
Spoiler warning: Chihiro from Hayao Miyazaki's "Spirited Away" is a great example of a "fully developed" character. At the beginning of the movie, she is whiny, cowardly, and clinging to her parents. By the end, she is independent, self-assured, and far less whiny.
A "flat" character does not change much. You know exactly what they think and exactly what they are going to do, because they're not going to surprise you by acting differently in other situations.
Kinda spoiler warning: Gaston from Disney's "Beauty and the Beast" is a flat character. He wants Belle and is a beast-hating narcissist for the entire movie.
When someone refers to a character as "fully developed," they are usually referring to a character as being "round." But does this mean that "under developed" characters are "flat," and that having "flat" characters is bad?
No and no.
Dos and Don'ts?
If you're protagonist is starting to look like a "flat" character, you might be setting yourself up for trouble, because a reader expects most a central character like a protagonist to change by the end of the book, series, or whatever fiction your have in mind.
However, some protagonists don't change that much. If your character becomes a symbol that withstands the test of time, like a comic book super hero, they can be as flat as a pancake. Super heroes like The Flash and Superman don't really change from comic book story to comic book story. Their personalities stay pretty much the same, even though they are major characters. There are various re-tellings out there that give them more depth and complexity, and therefore, some roundness. But overall, when people open up a comic book, they know Superman or the Flash are going to save the day.
But what about that janitor on the third floor apartment of your story? Does he need to have some deep, riveting character change? How round does he have to be?
It depends. If he's a central character you want to focus on, that janitor might very well be playing out an epic story of his own, and you might have to write about his five kids at some point. But if you're not going to write about him in depth, don't worry about developing him too much. It's okay if he's flat. He can still want to do his job and be friendly with your protagonist. But he has to be developed enough so that he's plausible, not so that he necessarily has to be round.
And if I used phrases like "fully developed" and "under developed," things would get hairy.
The "Fully Developed" Trap
The phrase "fully developed" is a bit of a trap. It suggests that before you write a story, you need to have a "full," completely whole, satisfied, self-actualized central character. But if your character is 100% completely actualized, they won't be able to grow, change, and surprise you, or the reader. Ironically, they start to look flat.
Notice what I said earlier: that round, fully developed characters are "as close to a real life person as they can get." That means that you should have a pretty darn good understanding of who they are and what they do, but you should also leave some wiggle room for them to develop on their own during the story itself. Otherwise, if they have no conflict that prevents their self-development, what's the story for?
Out of all your characters in your work, the necessary characters should be developed as much as they need to be, round characters more so than flat characters. In other words, the characters that need to be developed as much as possible should have a kind of 85-15 ratio, where the character is 85% developed and 15% unknown. The other 15% of development is portrayed in your story.
Of course, these ratios are by no means static, concrete, absolute measurements. How much that gets developed beforehand and how much that isn't developed beforehand gets based on what your story is about. Does your character span three novels? One short story? Do they regress in their development at some point? How complete are they as human beings based on Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs? If one part is lacking, that could very well be what your story is about.
Also, what methods are best to developing your characters?
Whatever Works, Really.
Scrapbooks/Vision Boards
If you're more a hands on, tactile kind of artist, making a scrapbook or vision board for your character is another way to get to know them and develop them. Maybe certain fabrics or objects remind you of them, or certain images that strike a theme with you. Either way, it's letting your brain get into the nook and crannies of the characters that need development.
Freewriting can help by putting you inside your central character's mind for a time—or even a minor character you'd been wondering about. I recommend writing for a few minutes in the voice of the character you want to explore. Letting them vent or sing or dance or laugh on the page will help you find tidbits about them you might not have found with toher methods.
Character Charts
Character charts are one of the more popular ways of developing and creating characters. And rightfully so. They're can be extremely thorough and helpful. And if you like 'em, great. Do 'em all you want. Fill out all the sections and questionnaires to your heart's content, but don't forget to leave some room for growth and surprise.
Me? I can't stand them. It feels a little pointless for me. Why think of a favorite flavor of ice cream for my protagonist if ice cream hasn't been invented in my fictional world? I suppose it gets the ball rolling for more story ideas down the line, but if I fill out the entire thing, and only one-tenth of it gets into the story, it feels like I've wasted that time away instead of writing.
Since I'm a very dialogue heavy-writer, my preferred method of getting to know my characters is interviewing them and writing out their answers. I've done this with my writerly friend a few times, where she asks questions, and I reply back as my character. It's been incredibly fun and enlightening to do, because sometimes, depending on the question, my characters give answers I never would have thought possible. It's like being a kid again, playing make-believe.
Plunging In
Otherwise, if none of these methods are for you, you can likewise just dive right into your novel, story, or fiction piece and figure out things as you go along, only organizing after. That's viable, too. You're still getting to know your character in your own way.
Just Grow It
There is no one right way to create and develop characters. Some people rely on astrology, divination, or the Chinese Zodiac. Others take acting classes. All that matters is that you find a method/methods that work for you, and stick it.
Characters are seeds. Treat them well. Give them the proper water and sunlight, and they will flourish the way they were meant to in your story.

England for the business, here is a resurgence of a whole series of perspectives that certainly require the attention of those who want to do real business and especially quickly as they are not usually used to
First of all, it must be said that in England taxation is one of the most appreciable as it is transparent and has a fixed rate of 19% up to 1.500.000 GBP (one and a half million pounds) and already the right to pay taxes appropriate to The work that one carries out is the greatest advantage we can find in a continuously oppressed Europe.
Contrary to other states that adopt very aggressive fiscal policies, from the police state, England prefers social peace and trust towards its taxpayers who hardly betray the expectations of this important and serious state.
The business is running fast and thanks to the fact that today we can sell lots of glasses and tomorrow we can decide to sell whole banks of potatoes, the profit is in first place and the companies enjoy a whole series of innumerable tax benefits dictated by a real and a real bureaucratic simplification that makes it easier and quickens the possibilities offered by international markets.
With BREXIT, the possibility to further reduce the tax rates is being considered and the opportunity to get off from a 19% to a 10% is achieved thanks to the lightening achieved by the separation from the heavy European burden, making England primary for the business
Many professionals suggest, before registering a company in England, to register one or the Maldives, or in Belize or in the Delaware and then make them become majority shareholders in the new companies that will be established in Great Britain.
This is not, according to our consultants, of primary necessity, as you can still sign agency contracts with other companies and pay the 95% of profits leaving a 5% in England, on the amounts of which we will have to pay taxes.
The substantial difference consists in the fact that maintaining a clear separation between companies, could be useful in the near future in the case of problems with the British company, although it could reduce the already low taxation.
To open a company in England for the business is to have acquired a higher gear compared to its European and above all Italian competitors, because first of all there is not the burden of the Data Protection Agency that obliges us to fanciful registrations, but it is only compliance with net-etiquette and data processing rules is necessary.
We do not have the problem of declaring VAT because the VAT number is not issued if we do not reach a gross amount of 83.000 Pounds and the time to get it varies from 3 months to 5 months and to year end, in case we exceeded this amount , we will only have to pay 10% on income.
The notaries to whom we are accustomed to draw up contracts, develop any corporate relationships and other, are no longer the cornerstone of the companies as all operations can be carried out quickly without their indispensable presence with considerable savings.
The companies do not pay taxes until the twenty-first month and will have the sole obligation to keep the accounts simple, orderly and fast thanks to some very intuitive online applications or using the billing package of the SHADOIT BUSINESS CONSULTANCY LTD.
The corporate form most used in England is the Ltd (Private Limited Company) which is the equivalent of the Italian Limited Liability Companies (Srl) but with the difference that a British Limited enjoys unimaginable advantages for a manager accustomed to working with Italian companies , distinguished by slenderness, economy in the constitution and drafting of contracts.
In England for business, English Limited can have up to two Directors (Directors) but usually only one is appointed who can also be the sole shareholder, there is no limit to the minimum amount to be paid for the company incorporation ( a share capital may also be declared by 1 GBP), and unlike Italian subsidiaries, although there is a separation from shareholders and directors by only responding with the share capital or percentage thereof, a Director is unlikely to be persecuted if the company fails to stand out good financially.
With the creation of BREXIT and the agreement with the European Union, England has managed to further grab the benefits it already enjoyed in the past for free trade and trade, but having a free hand for bilateral agreements with other countries without the limits that the European Union imposes on its member states.
However, there is the problem that many people pose for what is defined "foreign clothing", but this is also one of the many harassment that some States try to put in place to tax their citizens and to avoid their effects, we resort to the so-called "nominee" and that is, people resident in England who lend their name to make us Director and Shareholders, releasing a depository fiduciaria (in the case of shareholders) and a power of attorney (in the case of directors) and legally allowing us to drive the company as we believe it may be for the business we intend to develop, or by first establishing a company in Delaware ( USA) which among other things has 0 (zero) taxation and then incorporating the company in England as Ltd where the Delaware company (USA) is holder of the 100% of the shareholder and even if we are appointed Director, not it is essential that we receive a salary that should, logically, be taxed in the State of our residence and therefore we can exploit the England's business opportunity.
If you want to open one offshore companies in England SHADOIT BUSINESS CONSULTANCY LTD it will provide you with all its experience and assistance dictated by important financial advisors and partner companies of significant experience and importance, allowing you to quickly reach your goal in complete safety and in full legality and above all with a minimum bureaucracy.
You can always count on the advice of our professionals and our partners for your business operations, to search for possible investors in your projects and to protect your capital and assets thanks to the close collaboration with an important and above all , serious Corporation company of Panama, which may constitute foundations that will shelter your assets or request us to register LLC company in the State of Delaware (USA) for protect your assets and capital obtaining documentation that is perfectly in line with European standards (apostille and notarized documents as prescribed by the AIA Convention).
You ask us to act in your name (fiduciary relationship) and you can ask us for agrowing bank accounts in geo-politically stable countries where others could not succeed in the enterprise because you are not resident in that country, but where we have, over time, have maintained business relationships and state relationships of primary importance.

Young Boy Tragically Dies After School Employee Fed Him A Grilled Cheese SandwichBy Mike Walsh
Thomas and Dina Silvera of New York City are mourning the death of their three-year-old son after a daycare employee reportedly fed him a grilled cheese sandwich.
Elijah Silvera had a severe dairy allergy, which his parents say Seventh Avenue Center for Family Services in Manhattan knew about. Food allergies are no joke and it can have dire consequences to schools that don't take them seriously enough. Sometimes just the contact with dairy can have severe effects on a child who can't tolerate it. There have been instances of children dying from just skin contact alone. So this story of a school who was well aware of the child's allergy is particularly disturbing.
Thomas Silvera told ABC News:
Something so simple could have been avoided if they would have just followed — and paid attention to my son's needs. Elijah was strong. He was a fighter. And I'm gonna keep fighting for that boy, just so people know that this is not the end of Elijah.
The New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene is investigating the situation and has closed the school for, "failing to follow its written safety plan and failing to adequately supervise a child." It's a very small victory as it likely will have zero consequences for the people involved.
In a statement to PEOPLE, the department said:
There is nothing more important than the safety of our children and we are deeply saddened by this tragedy. We will get to the bottom of what happened here.
The school reportedly called the boy's parents rather than 911, delaying emergency care. Not a smart move that likely had an impact on the child's death. In an emergency situation always call the proper channels first to seek help rather than wait around.

Loopnet, the US based listing service for commercial properties on sale or for lease (in the US) has moved beyond listings and started in late May to roll out a beta version of property information.
Introduction to the service
A video from Loopnet's presentation at RECon last week in Las vegas.
The information
The property record (click here to see an example) includes data like:
- Owner & Tenant Details
- Mortgage & Lender History
- Tax Records & Assessed Values
- Historical For Sale & Lease Information
- Property Details & Photos
- Asking Price & Asking Rent Trends
"We are very excited to deliver the LoopNet Property database of more than five million commercial properties to our clients. Delivering a 'high-quality, alternative source for commercial property information at an affordable price' is the number one request that we have heard from LoopNet clients for many years," said Thomas Byrne, LoopNet's President and Chief Operating Officer.
The service will be free for Premium users.
My thoughts
For sure an bold strategy to move into the field 'owned by' CoStar (two companies that have a history together). Will be most interesting to follow.
Finally, I bet quite a few in the market will smile at LoopNet's slogan "Property information that opens your eyes, not your wallet". It's brilliant.
Additional reading
More is found at PropertyPortalWatch, The Journal record, Wikipedia, LoopNet's pressrelease and blog.

Matchaeologist — Ceremonial Matcha Kit
Pre Warning — this post is full of pictures as the set Matchaeologist sent me was just too pretty to hold back on.
As an avid tea lover, I also love matcha. In my previous posts I've gone over the benefits; it's unbelievable what this little green powder can do for your body and mind. Talking of green, the freshness of the powdered leaves in the Matsu tin was incredible — I've never seen anything as vivid! Matcha is made up of ground green tea leaves, as opposed to steeping the leaves in water. This means we consume the leaves fully, avoiding leaving any goodness behind in the bottom of the teapot.
Matchaeologist are killing it on social media, with their recipes and awesome photography showing how far you can take this simple tea. Both amazing to look at and great for inspiring new ideas, I can (and have) scroll through their feed for hours.
When I received my little parcel in the post, I was so happy to see the lovely message inside. Opening the box was a full experience, from taking the zip case out of its packaging, to opening it up and seeing the beautiful tools inside.
All of the accessories are beautifully designed, and sit together as the perfect set. With a great balance of traditional and modern styles, the bamboo and glass look really impressive. I had everything I needed to start right away and make my matcha.
The matcha ceremony is a well known process in Japan. It isn't a complex method, but it does take more care and attention than plopping a teabag in water. In my eyes, this is not a bad thing at all. Taking time to focus on the preparation and watching the powder transform into this beautiful drink is a really interesting and captivating thing. It's an almost meditative experience, as you focus on this process and your mind forgets the other things that are going on for a few minutes.
After adding a scoop of matcha to the cup, a small amount of warm water is added. Using the whisk, I mixed together the contents until they formed a green paste.
After that consistency is reached, you add more water and start the fun bit. Whisking matcha in a 'W' shape rather than around in circles helps it to froth up, and you get a sort of crema on the top of the tea. It's really hard to achieve this without the bamboo whisk, but with this set I was sorted in no time. I actually carried on whisking longer because of how therapeutic it felt.
Clean, fresh and green is how matcha tastes. If you've never tried it — don't expect it to taste like steeped green tea leaves. Make sure the powder is fully dissolved into the water and drink mindfully.
Thank you again to Matchaeologist for the lovely set. I'll be using it often so expect to see it pop up again in future!

The prologue printed in the manual for King's Quest 3 by Annette Childs...
King's Quest III: To Heir is Human by Annette ChildsEdit
A long, long time ago, when magic was the only science known to man, there dwelt in the land of Llewdor a wizard named Manannan. He was very learned in all matters of the heavens and earth.
Of great age, Manannan presented a frail appearance, as though his skin were made of bleached and weathered parchment. Manannan's impression of fragility lasted only until one looked into his coal-black eyes, which burned with a strange fire. This was, indeed, a powerful wizard.
Although he was powerful, and capable of conjuring up vast armies of spirit servants to sweep his hearth, prepare his meals and other menial tasks with which he would not soil his hands, this solution to his everyday needs was not satisfactory to him. For he liked his solitude, and didn't want a lot of spirits (who besides all else, are quite inquisitive and mischievous) cluttering up his house. Instead, he impressed a very young boy to do his bidding, taking the lad when he was only a year old, so he would have no memories to tug at him in the years to come.
Unfortunately for Manannan, boys grow up and become adventuresome young men. As his slave grew in stature and in strength, Manannan was irritated to find him poking around in areas of the house where he didn't belong. Or he would climb down the narrow path leading to Manannan's mountaintop retreat to explore the surrounding countryside. Even punishment did not stop him for long.
One day, when his slave was 18 years of age, the wizard found him practicing magic spells. This was the last straw!
"YOU!" Manannan screamed. "You have read my books of spells and plundered my supplies of powders and potions. You have even ventured into Llewdor again, against my expressed command, for nowhere else could you have gathered some of these ingredients!
"You think you will win your freedom with these tricks?" the wizard sneered. "You shall see your mistake! You have earned only your own demise!" And with that, Manannan raised his hands menacingly.
Suddenly the earth began to shake. And his slave was no more. Only a small pile of ashes remained where he had stood.
"Next time, I won't make the same mistake," Manannan snarled. "I'll never let any of my slaves reach manhood. I'll have no more accidents."
And so the years passed. Manannan went out and found another small boy to be his slave. He stole him from a country some distance from Llewdor, to direct suspicion away from himself. Manannan was more careful with this child, and watched him closely. The wizard punished the boy severely when he caught him away from the house. And he made sure the boy didn't get his hands on even any ordinary items that might be transformed into magic charms or potions. On the whole, Manannan didn't have much trouble with him, but still, on the lad's 18th birthday, the wizard zapped him out of existence.
"It's a nuisance, having to train a slave all over again," he mumbled complainingly. "But it's better than having trouble like the last time."
And so he went on, every 17 years kidnapping a small boy from his loving parents, then slaying him on the 18th anniversary of his birth. (Occasionally the cycle was shortened slightly, when he unfortunately chose a precocious child that learned too much before his 18th year.)
And time went on...
Behind the scenesEdit
This is the original source of the idea that Alexander was nearing his 18th birthday in KQ3, as mentioned in other sources. It's not so helpful on setting a specific date for when the story takes place, but does set a history.

After that, he wished all of his fans a greeting: "Be kind loving to each other, forgive each other as god forgave us through Christ Merry Christmas IM HERE FOREVER."
An interview from Justin Bieber last week on US radio station Power 106 already made hints that he was calling it quits. But his manager, Scooter Braun, said that JB was just eager to get some time off and he is not near retirement. Braun said: "He's gonna take time for himself, because he hasn't taken time off since he was 12 and he'll be 20 years old in March."

The following unsigned editorial appeared Nov. 8 on the website of America, a national Catholic weekly magazine run by the Jesuits. Since its publication, the U.S. House of Representative passed its version of the tax reform bill. The U.S. Senate currently is debating its version of the bill.
We do not yet know if the sweeping tax bill proposed by Republican Party leaders will even make it to a vote in Congress, let alone reach President Donald Trump's desk, but it would be unwise to dismiss the entire package out of hand. There are at least two good ideas in the bill; the question is whether they will be used in service of something better for society than another massive tax cut for high-income households.
A centerpiece of the plan is the reduction of the U.S. corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 20 percent. As America's editors have stated in the past, a corporate tax cut may be a good trade-off for other reforms that minimize tax avoidance and remove incentives for corporations to park profits in countries with lower tax rates — though the Obama administration's proposal to cut the rate to 28 percent may still be more prudent than the more drastic cut being proposed by Republicans.
Trump has been incorrect in asserting that the United States is "one of the highest-taxed nations in the world," but that claim is true when limited to corporate, rather than individual, taxation. (Only Chad and the United Arab Emirates have higher taxes on corporate profits.)
However, a corporate tax cut should be accompanied by other provisions in the bill that discourage American companies from shifting assets overseas; these include a global minimum tax of 10 percent on the subsidiaries of American companies anywhere in the world and a one-time, low repatriation tax of 12 percent on liquid assets brought back to the United States. A lower corporate tax rate makes sense only if it leads to U.S. corporations investing more in their home country.
Another good idea is to cap deductions for home mortgage payments; under the GOP tax plan, new homeowners would be able to deduct interest payments made only on their first $500,000 worth of loans. This is a reasonable fix.
There are good reasons to encourage homeownership in the interest of family stability and healthy communities, but the tax code should not inadvertently encourage the construction and purchasing of ever-bigger and ever-more-expensive homes. And the 37 percent of U.S. households who rent rather than own (the highest level since 1965 and climbing), and are unable or unwilling to take on mortgage debt, should not be expected to subsidize the most affluent homeowners.
The fact that a cap on the deduction would affect high-income (and Democratic) states more than others is not a reason to preserve this inequity.
However, any revenue gains from these two changes should not simply finance changes to the tax code included in the Republican plan that mostly benefit top earners — including the phase-out of the estate tax and lower taxes on income from "pass-through" entities like real estate partnerships and hedge funds.
Fairness demands that at least some of any new revenue from capping the deduction for home mortgages go to rental assistance programs and incentives for the construction of affordable housing, given that the number of apartments deemed affordable for very low-income families dropped by more than 60 percent across the United State between 2010 and 2016.
A boost in the Earned Income Tax Credit would be another appropriate use of any revenue gain from capping the mortgage deduction.
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, as it is called by House Republicans, has the potential to dramatically reshape the U.S. economy and the way we fund government. We applaud the willingness of Republicans to make long-needed adjustments to the tax code — though this bill also includes unwise changes such as the elimination of the adoption tax credit. We also fear that their good ideas will only rouse intractable, and justified, opposition if they are seen as financing a windfall for the wealthiest.

last night was spent assembling the "pre-assembled" furniture i had on order, which was incredibly frustrating until i realized that they provide you with a screwdriving tool in the box. so now, almost two and a half weeks later, i am able to eat/study at a table and with chairs- thank-you mum and dad! that said, i sincerely hope that this is the last time i have to invite delivery/installation/repair guys into my apartment, as so far the overwhelming experience i have had is one of feeling very vulnerable and uncomfortable.
yesterday's delightful characters not only brought in the wrong delivery (i had to call them as they were leaving and have them lug the armoire they had left in the kitchen back down three flights of stairs), they also took off with my landlady's refrigerator and dishwasher. this, even though after asking me whether these were broken or not and having me explicitly tell them i didn't know and that they did not belong to me. the one guy kept pulling down his sunglasses to give me the full benefit of his creepy wolfish stare, while trying to sweettalk me and asking where my 'petit ami' (that'd be francais for boyfriend) was, and so forth. the deadbolt was definitely in place the second i closed the door. sears canada, why?

Best Dog Backpack for Your Next Outdoor Adventure – Top 5 Reviews
Planning to go out on an adventure with your dog but you don't like to carry much weight? Why carrying the entire luggage when you can equip your dog to help themselves and even help you. Finding the best dog backpack may just help your dog become the better outdoor companion.

Are Backpacks Beneficial for Dogs?
Dogs are pack animals and would always love to play a role.
Roles give them a sense of direction and purpose making them more predictable to stay on that role every time they are trained on it. If you constantly train your dog to carry their own necessities during walks, they will be used to doing that.
Although at first they might seem to dislike it, from experience, they eventually appreciate their roles. Once this happens, you will eventually end up with dependable companion for some cargo which could mean lesser weight for you to carry.
But giving them any backpack could prove detrimental for them in the long run. Instead of helping them build their form, a wrong backpack could do just the opposite.
A wrong backpack could constrict their breathing and disturb their enjoyment for the whole trip. So don't buy just any best-selling dog backpack, examine it first with the following criteria. That way you only give what is best for your furry buddy.
Dog backpacks can also act as healthy weight for workouts or to simply add intensity to your dog's activities as it burns excess energy. Take note however that weight should only start at 10-12% and weight carried by dogs should not exceed 25% of their natural weight.
What Features To Look Into When Finding The Best Dog Backpack?
1. Check for the Backpack's Trail Readiness
Contain reflective strips
Your dog's backpack can help call attention to your pet companion so that they can be easily seen whenever they are lost in the trail due to various threats on the trail such as traps and other animals.
The backpack must contain reflective strips so that we can easily spot the dog from away should it get lost during night time or in dark spaces.
Be padded
It must have space where possible linings can be placed to cushion your pet from bumps and impacts along the paths.
Be water resistant if not waterproof
Since most outdoor settings would always have a source of wetness from the surrounding environmental elements such as plants or bodies of water, it may be better to go for a dog backpack that is water resistant if not waterproof.
Not only will your dog's things be safe inside but it can also help your dog not catch unnecessary weight from water coming into his bag.
Be made of sturdy or nylon.
For your dog's backpack to be adventure-ready, it must be made up of sturdy cotton or nylon. Another material good for dog backpacks is polyester.
Although it is more prone to deterioration compared with nylon, it is a long way cheaper which can be good if you are on budget and you do not plan to go outdoors with your dogs often.
2. The Backpack Should Fit Comfortably While Providing Manoeuvrability.
Comfort can come from breathability. Are the parts of the bag that embraces the dog made cool through ample holes? A mesh may be a good material for that part of the bag so your dog is made cool while it is exercised.
Manoeuvrability must also be closely looked into. Aside from just picking out good materials, design thinking must consider the ability of the dog to move freely with their bags on. The weight must not be focused on the dog's spine but rather distributed along its body.
The bulk of the weight of the backpack must be on the portions of their bodies that contain most of their muscles that is at their shoulders and hips but at the same time not hinder these muscles from moving to and from.
Balance and distribution of weight are good. Try to see that side bag compartments are detachable.
3. Does the Backpack Have Flexibility to Size Variations?
A dog the same age and of the same breed at the same owner can even be at different sizes. Thus, a good fit for a particular dog may not necessarily mean a good fit for yours.
So we ask ourselves, how can we be exactly sure if an online dog backpack would be a good fit? We could not exactly and certainly tell. We can only approximate. Thus the best fit for whatever minimal size variation is the dog backpack's flexibility.
Your dog's backpack must have adjustable features such as zippers or straps that can be opened or closed making openings and sizes vary slightly.
These features are particularly important when buying dog backpacks for growing dogs or if you want to use the same backpack on two similarly sized dogs.
When seeing both in different backpacks, I always chose straps that can be tightened over zippers because zippers in dogs are prone to running over some fur.
In the pack of the best-selling dog backpacks on the market today, can you guess which one is the alpha?
This backpack has rubber mesh designed for breathability but not for too much weight which is just okay since dogs should not carry around too weight.
The outer material is made up of polyester.
It is durable but also slightly elastic to add adaptability to your dog's movement while sticking to its position instead of sliding around.
- Removable saddlebags which are best for crossing streams and having comfortable rest stops
- Adjustable straps for custom fitting
- Double-stitched for re-enforcement
- With light reflection stripe on the backpack for you to see your dog's activities at low-lighting conditions
- Water-resistant for extra protection against the elements.
- Has extra strings on the outer most part which can easily get entangled when going into trails
- Materials have been reported to easily stain
This dog backpack is made double polyester material for added durability.
It has a very sturdy feel which can be good if you want that similar character added to your dog companion.
Sturdy, built-in rubber handle and has a built-in hard D-ring leash attachment on top so there's no need to use the collar when using this one.
Soft-mesh lined underside for your dog's comfort and adjustable buckles for custom fit.
The V-area for her front chest cavity is padded so it does not cut into your dog's chest cavity.
There's a pad that goes under the rib area to protect skin from being rubbed as your dog walks.
The mid back is mesh which allows air to flow through so the dog does not heat up.
The material is nylon and is to wash off when it gets muddy.
- Well padded
- Bright and dark colors to choose from
- Reflective material on pockets
- Easy to clean
- Strong adjustable buckles
- A lot of buckle snaps.
- You will need to have your dog stay still a bit to get underbelly adjustment correct.
The purchase includes two soft-sided collapsible water bottles that are BPA-free and taste-free.
Those bottles can contain 0.6 litres of water each which is good to keep your dogs hydrated for long.
Backpack space does not bulk up very much limiting storage space other than water.
I would say that this is indeed built for hydration purposes.
This is best for those that plan to bring their dogs to a few hours to half a day of trailing.
- Chest and belly straps are foam padded
- 5-point customizable adjustments for good fitting
- Reflective trim and pockets for low-light visibility
- Does not flip flap when dog is on the run
- Expensive
- Bag space is not very much expandable
This tactical dog vest comes with three detachable pouches for carrying different daily items, not only can they be added on the vest but also to other tactical gears.
The sides are designed with spaces for attaching other accessories such as water bottles, food snacks and even other materials.
This backpack is mostly made up of high 1000D Nylon making it durable for use and even abuse.
The design uses Velcro panel capturing your dog's full dog structure using major muscles and bones to support and distribute the weight of bag.
This bag may carry enough materials for your dog for a weekend's need without it being unnecessarily exhausted with weight distribution.
- Internal padding are meshed for ventilation
- Well-padded for comfort
- Good engineering design that allows full body support
- Highly durable materials and double stitched
- Add on pouches can be detached when reaching camp site
- Only neutral colours available
- No reflective materials
This dog backpack has a vintage design, making it uniquely fashionable.
Your dog will look a lot like a messenger dog when wearing this one.
The materials are mostly made of comfortable cotton canvas material which is good because it does not hurt their fur.
Only two sized but each size can accommodate wide range of dogs. This backpack fits medium to large sized dog.
There are two spaces on each side of this backpack.
One uses a zipper with no additional top covering and the other one is just open.
- Adjustable straps
- Cotton material
- Support of weight is just centered around the dog's chest and rib areas
- More fashionable than functional
The award of best dog backpack goes to is WOpet's Tactical Dog Vest with Detachable Pouches. While most best selling bags provide comfort and custom fit through the use of straps, this one provides more with its detachable pouches and multiple possible attachments.
It uses sturdy nylon material outside and is meshed and padded on the inside for protection. It is also double stitched for lasting usage.
But I would say that the best criteria are that it is the only backpack in the best-selling list that fully uses the muscular support and bone structure of the dog making it the best backpack for dog's next outdoor adventure with you.
Can you suggest a better dog backpack for outdoors? Tell us about it in the comments below. We would be delighted to know about it.

UT Dallas Professor Named to Task Force
That Will Evaluate the Texas Youth Commission
May 24, 2007
Dr. Paul E. Tracy, a professor of public policy and political economy at The University of Texas at Dallas, has been appointed to a task force that will recommend improvements in treatment and case management within the Texas Youth Commission.
The task force, titled "Transforming Juvenile Justice in Texas: A Framework for Action," features prestigious juvenile justice experts from around the country and is chaired by Dr. David W. Springer, associate dean for academic affairs in the School of Social Work at The University of Texas at Austin. The scope of the task force's charge includes recommendations for reforming the entire juvenile justice system in Texas. The panel will report its findings to the Texas Legislature before the end of the current session.
The Texas Youth Commission is charged with responsibility for caring for, treating and educating the state's most serious and chronic juvenile offenders. In March, Texas Governor Rick Perry placed the agency under conservatorship to guide reform of its correctional and rehabilitative systems following reports of the sexual abuse of youth.
Tracy, who joined the university in 1992, is editor of the prestigious criminology journal Crime and Delinquency and is founder of the Criminology Program in UT Dallas' School of Economic, Political and Policy Sciences. He specializes in the study of criminal careers, juvenile delinquency and policy issues in the criminal and juvenile justice systems and has published extensively throughout his academic career. Tracy received his Ph.D. in sociology from the Center for Studies in Criminology and Criminal Law at the University of Pennsylvania.

FRECHES José - Extract from « Le souffle et l'âme (Breath and Soul) » in Zao Wou-Ki – Œuvres, écrits, entretiens (Zao Wou-Ki - Works, writings, interviews), first published by Ediciones Polígrafa, Barcelona, Spain, 2007, and Editions Hazan, Paris, France, 2007 (pp. 14-15).
"… To a student at the Hangzhou School of Fine Art (Zhejiang Academy of Fine Arts) - where he had been invited to teach for a month in the spring of 1985 - and who asked him how he painted his paintings, Zao Wou-Ki answered without hesitation:
- I do not know how to show. I can only paint.
Such answer, typical of a Taoist master to his students, summarizes better than any other what is Zao Wou-Ki: an artist entirely focused on the canvas that he is about to cover with colors – straight away, not tomorrow because tomorrow is another day! – in the silence of his studio where he locks himself away from the world.
For him, painting means entering, racked with fear of repeating himself, into an ultimate haven where he feels good. It means spending the time of the day, pushing away as far as possible the night of insomnia. It means covering the distance, pushing away the limits, exploring space. It means walking alongside the hollowness of incommensurable abysses. It means touching fluffy clouds, it means diving into opalescent hazes.
In the very beginning, the canvas is empty. This emptiness will need to be filled in but also sometimes, protected and set aside. Exalting emptiness, filling in emptiness…Depicting the « non existing » by shapes and colours on a canvas which really exists…a canvas – an object! – that the artist will have to challenge, against which he might fight, sometimes scratching it, sometimes caressing it and whispering loving words, like a woman he wants to seduce…a canvas which, after much acceptance, might also take revenge of its« aggressor » in the end, by forcing him to scratch off everything and re-do it all, like Sisyphus and his rock …
The ease of execution is only an appearance. What one believes to be the outcome of a first draft is actually the consequence of complex repeated processes made of various colours overlapping and remorse indefinitely painted over.
The magic of Shapeless – the magic of the Tao itself, of the emptiness, its riches, its depth, its complexity, its ultimate drives, the feelings, emotions provided to those close to it, the favours granted to those who know it well because they are able to free themselves from everything and «clear their minds » (as the saying goes), none of this is easy to capture, record, retrace and convey.
This is the place where the creative alchemy takes place: in the silent studio (…) that he has difficulty to leave for more than ten straight days because, despite his apparent composure and warm serenity, Wou-Ki, who cares little about talking about what he does and the way he does it, considering – rightly so – that his work speaks for itself, is always in the urgency to become familiar with the emptiness and the virgin canvas.
And it is precisely when he puts himself in danger of facing this emptiness that Wou-Ki creates his world.
Evaporation, coagulation, storm rains, sedimentation, ebullience, whispers, murmurs, tears, escapes, short cuts, dream catchers, clouds of strokes, lakes of dreams, mountains of energies, desperate seas, hazes of joy, volcanoes of love, trees of tenderness, paths of solitude, philosopher's stones; references to facts, tributes to women and men; digressions, variations, expansions; tensions, distortions, dead calms, wash tints, washings, thickenings; gliding, bucks, twists; allegro, piano, vivace … at times ma non troppo and in other times molto forte; Zao Wou-Ki's painting is alchemical and musical …"

I've been on another semi-hiatus here for the past couple of weeks (it's been a rough year – I can't wait for the end of the semester). Nevertheless, my beloved Buffalo Sabres are back in the playoffs and are currently tied with the Flyers at a game apiece in their best-of-seven series. Much of the new-found energy around the team comes from new owner Terry Pegula who is almost like a dream-come-true. He's a longtime Sabres fan and former season ticket holder who is married to a woman from Buffalo. Now, his daughter Jessie, who is apparently a 16-year-old tennis phenom, has her own blog, primarily about the Sabres. I figured I'd give her some props since I've got the Sabres on my brain (even though they just lost).

BURNABY, British Columbia – December 20, 2013 – LED Medical Diagnostics Inc. ("LED Medical, the Company") announced today that its wholly-owned subsidiary, LED Dental Ltd. ("LED Dental") has appointed Mr. Michael Dunn to the role of Director of Marketing.
Immediately prior to joining LED Dental, Mr. Dunn was the VP of Distance Education & Marketing at Spear Education, where his responsibilities included directing sales and marketing activities to drive revenue for a new online Dental Continuing Education platform as well as managing marketing, communications, video production, and inside sales teams. "Michael has a deep marketing background in dental technology with a particular emphasis in digital dentistry technologies and services," states Dr. David Gane, CEO of LED Medical. "He is well respected for his marketing successes within the industry and I'm sincerely pleased that he's joined our team."
Previously, Mr. Dunn was the VP Marketing for OralDNA Labs where, among his responsibilities, he managed US marketing initiatives, professional relations and served as a company liaison to various industry associations and KOLs.

About the VELscope® Vx
The distinctive blue-spectrum light of the VELscope® Vx hand-held device causes the soft tissues of the mouth to naturally fluoresce. Healthy tissues fluoresce in distinct patterns that are visibly disrupted by trauma or disease, such as neoplastic lesions, chemical irritation, side-effects from medication, thermal damage, fungal, viral or bacterial infections. Use of the VELscope® Vx allows a wide variety of oral abnormalities to be discovered, often before they're visible to the unassisted eye. The VELscope® Vx is further intended to be used by oral surgeons as a tool to assist in identifying diseased tissue around a clinically apparent lesion and thus aid in determining the appropriate margin for surgical excision. It is also the only tissue fluorescence device with photo/video documentation capabilities through the viewing mechanism, a key function for referrals and patient records.
About LED Medical Diagnostics Inc.
Founded in 2003 and headquartered in Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada, LED Medical Diagnostics Inc. is a leading developer of LED-based visualization technologies for the medical industry. The Company is currently listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX-V) under the symbol "LMD", the OTCQX under the symbol "LEDIF", as well as the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol "LME". For more information, visit www.ledmd.com.
Through its wholly-owned subsidiary, LED Dental Inc., the company manufactures the VELscope® Vx Enhanced Oral Assessment System, the first system in the world to apply tissue fluorescence visualization technology to the oral cavity. VELscope® Vx devices are now used to conduct more screenings for oral cancer and other oral diseases than any other adjunctive device. To date, there have been more than 12,000 VELscope® Vx systems sold globally and they have been used to perform more than 25 million exams.

May is Melanoma Awareness Month
As we approach these summer months skin cancer is a dirty word. The Risk is high! Get your annual full body skin check from your favorite Dermatologist. The best Derms to see are ones that specialize in MOHS surgery, they know how to spot a skin cancer lesion with their expert eyes. I have assisted several plastic surgeons and dermatologists during MOHS surgery and its not a pretty sight. Please get your skin exams and wear your sunblock!
Know your ABCDEs of potentially dangerous moles or lesions: look for Asymmetry, irregular Borders, more than one or uneven distribution of Color, or a large (greater than 6mm) Diameter and pay attention to the Evolution of your moles.
According to Pennsylvania Medical Society @newswise.com
- Current estimates are that 1 in 5 Americans will develop skin cancer during their lifetime.
- Melanoma is the most common form of cancer for young adults age 25-29 and is the second most common form of cancer for adolescents and young adults age 15-29.
- Melanoma is increasing faster in females 15-29 years old than males in the same age group. In females 15-29 years old, the torso is the most common location for developing melanoma, which may be due to high-risk tanning behaviors.
- You have a substantially increased risk of developing melanoma if you have many moles, large moles or atypical (unusual) moles.
- Your risk is increased if a blood relative (e.g., your parents, children, siblings, cousins, aunts, uncles) has had melanoma.
- If you are a Caucasian with fair skin, your risk is higher than a Caucasian with olive skin.
- Redheads and blonds have a higher risk of developing melanoma. Blue or green eyes also increase your risk.
- Your chances increase significantly if you've already had a previous melanoma or if you have had basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma, the more common forms of skin cancer.

Teledyne Gavia Capability Upgrades for Turkish Navy - 15/05/2018
Teledyne Gavia, a global provider of low logistic autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), has recently delivered Teledyne Blueview MB2250 modules and associated Teledyne PDS software for all Gavia AUVs operated by the Turkish Navy Mine Countermeasures Command in Erdek, Turkey. The Blueview MB2250 will be used in conjunction with the existing Edgetch 2205 sidescan sonars that are currently installed on the Turkish Navy Gavia vehicles. This will provide capabilities for sidescan sonar nadir gapfill as well as providing high-frequency multibeam data that can aid in detection and classification of mine-like objects.
During recent Mine Countermeasures (MCM) trials, use of the Teledyne BlueView MB2250 allowed the Gavia AUV to cover roughly forty percent more area in a given time than the vehicle would have been able to cover without the use of gap fill. This greatly increased coverage area is a significant development for small AUVs.
Twist lock system
The Gavia AUV is an autonomous sensor platform that is user configurable by the addition of one or more sensor, navigation or battery modules by means of an innovative twist lock system. The Gavia AUV is a fully low logistics modular system designed for operation from vessels of opportunity and has the greatest depth rating of any vehicle in its class. The modular design of the Gavia ensures maximum mission flexibility and system upgradability. Module options include acoustic payloads for ASW training, various side scan sonars, multibeams, camera, and an array of environmental sensors.Last updated: 20/08/2019

Yoshis are a dino-like species featured in levels throughout Super Mario Bros. X episodes. They are helping characters from many Mario series games. Make sure that when you come across one, use it.
Colors of YoshisEdit
There are many different kinds of Yoshis. Each color has a special power. Below is a list of all Yoshi colors in Super Mario Bros. X:
Green: Green Yoshis do not have any special power, but can spit out fire with a Red Shell, fly with a Blue Shell, or stomp with a Yellow Shell in their mouth.
Red: Red Yoshis spit out fire instead of Koopa shells.
Yellow: Yellow Yoshis stomp when they hit the ground with a shell in their mouth.
Blue: Blue Yoshis can fly with anything in their mouth, but only for a limited time.
Pink: Pink Yoshis spit out vegetables instead of enemies.
Purple: Purple Yoshis can ground-pound by pressing down while jumping. The ground pounds have the same effect as the Yellow Yoshi's stomp ability, but can also break blocks.
Black: Black Yoshis have the powers of the Red, Yellow, and Blue Yoshis combined.
Cyan: Cyan Yoshis spit out frozen enemies.
History in GamingEdit
Yoshis first appeared in Super Mario World as the inhabitants of Yoshi's Island and the main characters you were trying to save from Bowser (other than Princess Peach, obviously). Since then, they have appeared in many Mario series games. There is also a specific character named Yoshi, a green Yoshi that befriended Mario on his travels and has stuck with him ever since, appearing in many spin-off games like the Mario Kart series.

You just never know how events will play out…
When I started my job, my mom suggested I set a "savings" goal, so that if "something happened", I'd have a financial buffer.
Last month, I reached my goal and informed my parents.
My father saw this as a perfect opportunity to tell me that the camera I've been coveting was on sale (Canon 40D).
I, who have very little fortitude, decided to purchase it.
I had it sent to my work and it arrived today. As soon as I opened it, every guy in the Department was in my cubicle, and green.
And that's when I realized that even though I'd purchased the camera for my own delight and use, it came with something I couldn't have purchased but just as nice — prestige. It's a rather heady feeling. I think maybe I understand now why small balding men buy Dodge Vipers in their late 40's.
As a side note: Thank you, Daddy, for bringing my new toy to my attention. I will treasure it for many, many years.

I'm still trying to process the past week's flood of impressions, and to get over jetlag. The trip was quick, dense, and incredibly interesting. First impressions of Tokyo were unexpected; there wasn't a strong sense of disorientation as I'd expected. In fact, the city seemed deeply familiar. Less surprising than Seoul. Intense, crowded, but navigating was simple. Language was never an issue since most every key bit of information is presented in either romaji or English. Tokyo subway station announcements are made in English even. The super low density of the outer reaches of Tokyo was odd. Food was amazing, as expected. And the cost of the trip was remarkably low, much less than the cost of ten days in Paris.
Four days in Tokyo allowed us to get a general sense of the city and see a decent selection of first-order sites. Two days in Kyoto also was enough to get a glimpse of the traditional architecture and, more importantly, a few of the remarkable gardens. Undoubtedly, the highlight was the trip down to see the shrines at Ise. I had been hoping to see them for many years so that day was a pilgrimmage for me.
I'll be posting images to my Flickr stream as I get time in the next few days. And I'll add a few more posts as I get my arms around the experience.

OCAD University GradEx 2015
On a recent trip to Toronto I managed to catch OCAD's 100th graduate exhibition, and it was glorious. The exhibition spanned multiple locations and levels on McCaul Street, the big attraction being the university's spectacularly weird main building. By the time I got to the massive print sale on the upper levels, I was seriously debating the logistics of crawling under a desk and refusing to leave until they just let me live there. A girl can dream.

Ras Kuuku speaks on his 'strong' comeback
Speaking on a radio interview recently, Ras Kuuku says he "had to keep calm and restructure things well with my Team after my sign with Sabaman Entertainment before putting in new works so that was the reason for my brief break on the scene. But we have the full package now and we have a lot of material now – new videos and new songs already worked on. My song 'I Love You' is the first one out of the bag we just released with an official video."
Ras Kuuku was on radio on Monday morning to officially premier his new song I Love You on Zylofon 102.1fm with Sammy Flex on Showbiz Agenda. The 'Puom' Music frontliner was very confident in his new Team and new deal with Sabaman Entertainment he got signed to for 5 years at a press briefing in Accra few months ago.

Power of the Internet

Filed under Wedding Venues
Tags: Del Marcos Hotel, Venue
Through the power of this internet I was able to "meet" a bride who had her wedding at the Del Marcos Hotel. She was kind enough (VERY KIND) to send me the link to her wedding photos and tell me about her experience, and while her wedding was lovely and her experience was wonderful it helped me rule the Del Marcos out as one of our options. Thank you MidModLover 🙂

Have you considered The Mod Resort?
I wrote a Real Wedding about a couple who was married there a while back, it looked pretty incredible to me!
