Denver-based cybersecurity company contributes to open-source Linux distro
DENVER—(BUSINESS WIRE)— OWL Cybersecurity, a Denver-based cybersecurity company offering what it believes to be the world's largest commercially available database of darknet content, today announced the release of Tor-Pi-do Version 1.0.1 for Raspberry Pi 3. Tor-Pi-do Version 1.0.1 is a Linux distribution, also known as a distro, which enables the anonymous use of Tor with Mozilla Firefox on the Raspberry Pi 3.
This Linux distro brings together tools that enable secure Tor use on the Raspberry Pi 3, the most recent version of a series of credit card-sized, single-board computers developed to promote the teaching of basic computer science and computing in poor or developing nations. The idea for Tor-Pi-do Version 1.0.1 arose when the OWL Cybersecurity team needed an easy way to provide IT support during a workshop in which they would be taking more than a dozen IT executives onto Tor, free software that enables anonymous communication over the Internet.
"We are incredibly excited by the release of Tor-Pi-do," said Andrew Lewman, OWL Cybersecurity Board Member. "The Raspberry Pi is an ideal device to leverage in an educational setting, and Justin's work will allow a wider audience to explore the idea of internet anonymity."
Justin Whitehead, OWL Cybersecurity Red Team lead, led the Tor-Pi-do project.
On Tor-Pi-do Version 1.0.1, DuckDuckGo is the default landing page for the browser, providing a starting point from which users can further explore Tor. Additionally, Wicd, an open-source network manager, is included to provide a simple interface from which users can connect to wired or wireless networks with a wide variety of settings.
This project is open-source, and OWL Cybersecurity encourages others to study, collaborate and improve upon the software.
Download Tor-Pi-do by clicking the below button or https://sourceforge.net/projects/tor-pi-do/.

The Jerx Amateur Magic Monthly
The JAMM was a monthly 20+-page pdf magazine that originally came out over the course of 2017 for the people who supported the site that year. It contained tricks, reviews, and theory that was primarily geared towards those of us who perform in casual, non-professional situations (or those who want to bring elements of that style to their professional work). It was like your favorite parts of traditional magic magazines, except the reviews didn't ever mention "reset time," there weren't any crusty old letters between Thurston and some other dull fossil, and I probably used the phrase "hunk of shit" to describe an effect I don't like more than your typical magic mag.
My design inspiration for the cover was an old exploitation mag called "Secrets." Why? Well... because I like it. And it's a magic magazine and that magazine is called "Secrets." It makes sense, dude.
There are two payment options below. The first is to pay for the full Volume 1 (12 issues - Feb 17 thru Jan 18) in a lump sum. And second option is to purchase back issues individually for $15 a piece.

Welcome, Baby Blair! {Newborn} Family Lifestyle Photography
Baby Blair shares an important date with my family...her birthday is the same as my son Cal's (who is 6 years rather than a newborn, but a special date nonetheless!). I joined the Thompson family in their brand new home (they moved when Blair was just one month old!!! And lived to tell about it!!) and really enjoyed capturing them in their new space with their new bundle.

Many have asked " where do you find all of your junk?" To tell you the truth it's in many different places. Just like you I am a Yard Sale Junkie! I have bought something and thought it was old only to get home and found the "made in China" sticker-lol. On the other hand, I have found the hidden treasure. I have become more picky in my purchases. Looking for more of the unusual and unique items. There seems to be tons of estate companies (absoluteestatesolutions.com & www.resolutionestate.com) and a few auctions(owensauction.com) around. I also have the garage sale app on my phone.
Using the mapping abilities has been a plus. My secret though, have fun! One of my funnest memories is a crazy truck load from Idaho. One of my most favorite buddies was with me, Amanda. We went to a couple of stops. What I didn't tell her was that we were going to also pick up a couple of goats and chickens for my husband. We ended up strapping down a whole load of junk. Had goats in two dog carriers. And a container of chickens! We seriously looked like the Clampets going down the road. I told her I was going to get her on the top in a rocking chair with a shotgunn! Don't be the people that are crazy intense and going fist to cuffs. Your golden nugget is waiting for you to find it or make it.

This box was full of treats and goodies - chocolate, cider and sweets, probably our favourite box thus far.
The monthly subscription box: Degustabox is always full with new and exciting items, and if you like to experience old and new brands, food and beverages that maybe you wouldn't normally buy, then this is the monthly subscription service for you. The monthly box is delivered directly to your home and the contents are always kept a secret. You will receive between 9 to 14 items, and it costs just £12.99, including delivery - I have a £3 discount code for new subscribers - see at the bottom of this post.
Opening and unpacking to see what goodies are inside is the best part - and then, with the kids we have fun trying out what we can, especially if there are sweets or chocolate.
In this month's box please see below for each item included:
Lindor Assorted Mini Eggs - delightful smooth milk, white and dark chocolate assortment eggs, are creamy delicious chocolate that taste so yummy.
Baked Bread Bites - Made with French bread, each 20g bag is under 90 calories. Low in saturated fat, free from artificial colours, flavours and preservatives - and these were tasty - I would definitely buy these again.
BBQUE original Bavarian Barbecue Sauces - I had this with my steak, and it is sticky, homey, tasty sauce.
JuiceBurst is good honest juice for everyone! With 14 different flavours to try and 3 Skinny drinks, the range of tasty juice drinks is bursting to the brim with fruit goodness - I found these very refreshing and pleasant to drink.
Natvia - 100% naturally sourced alternative to artificial sweeteners and sugar. Use it in your tea or coffee, and it's also great for cooking and baking! One teaspoon of sugar equals one teaspoon of Natvia.
Kent's Kitchen Posh Noodles are perfect for lunch on the go or for a hot snack. Made with all natural ingredients, these noodles are full of taste.
Sour Patch Kids and Jelly Babies Berry Mix - need I say more.
Jordan's new Lighter Granola - 30% less fat* than standard granolas (and is high in fibre too!).

Generous Community Delivers "Tender Critters" for Children in the Emergency Room
Junior Auxiliary of Taney County (JATC) Tender Critters Committee was overwhelmed with the generosity of the community as they collected Tender Critters from businesses and organizations around Branson last month. Members were delighted to collect 438 "Tender Critters" for the Cox Medical Center-Branson Emergency Room. Each year in February, JATC holds its annual drive to replenish the supply of stuffed animals in the Emergency Department. Members deliver the stuffed animals each week to the staff so they can give them to children who visit the ER or need to stay in the hospital.
Each year the number of local businesses and organizations who collect critters increases. The recent collection included animals donated by the employees, customers and members of the following businesses and organizations: Arvest Bank, Belk, Binswanger Glass, Branson Bank, Central Bank, Chico's Outlet, CoxHealth Fitness Center, Regions Bank, PEO-Chapter IB, Party Magic, St. Joseph's Anglican Church and White House/Black Market. In addition to collecting Critters, Chico's Outlet held a fashion show and encouraged customers of their store and White House/Black Market to support the effort by donating either a Critter or $5 to be entered into a drawing for prizes at their store. In addition to the annual collection drive, members of the congregations of United Methodist Church and the Vietnam Veterans of America, Chapter 913 have partnered in this effort the past several years by collecting stuffed animals throughout the year.
"Tender Critters" is one of the longest running projects for JATC, with members donating new stuffed animals at each of their monthly meetings. This collection is a year-round effort and JATC invites members of the community to help brighten a child's day by donating a "tender critter". JATC also welcomes businesses, churches and other groups to hold ongoing collection efforts throughout the year. It's a small effort that can make a big impact on a child's time in the hospital.
Tender Critters is one of many service projects that JATC members provide to the community. Others include Santa's Gift House; College Scholarships for a seniors at all four Taney County public high schools; Prom Dresses for girls in need; Heart of the Arts supporting arts activities for clients of the Developmental Center; Learners Today-Leaders Tomorrow (LT2) to enhance science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) studies at Bradleyville Elementary School; financial and labor support for the Women's Crisis Center; School Supplies "refreshment" in January for elementary schools; andHomework Helpers for children who live in extended-stay motels.
More information on JATC can be found on the Junior Auxiliary website JATCMO.ORG, their Facebook page, Junior Auxiliary of Taney County or via email at email@example.com.
Members raise money for these projects through one major event - a fun Trivia Challenge with dinner, live entertainment, a raffle and a Silent Auction. This year the 17th Annual Trivia Challenge and Silent Auction will be held at the Radisson Hotel in Branson on March 25, 2017. Also, JATC raises money from other events such as Belk's Charity Days, Schwan's Cares, AmazonSmile, Give Ozarks Day and the Branson Women's Expo, grants and individual donations. Generous local businesses also donate to JATC's various events including Doug Baker State Farm Insurance, Ozark Mountain Ear Nose & Throat, Mr. G's Pizza, Binswanger Glass, Chateau on the Lake, Big Cedar, State Park Marina, 417 Fundraising, Usborne Books, Central Bank, Dale Sanders American Family Insurance and Branson Bank.
JATC is more than a nonprofit organization, it's a group of women united by a single cause and dedicated to helping the children of Taney County. That's the magic of JATC. It was chartered by a group of caring, enthusiastic women in 1998 and continues to grow and thrive throughout Taney County. Approximately 50 members annually contribute more than 4,000 volunteer hours as they strive to improve the mental, physical, social and emotional well-being of children in Taney County.
JATC is part of the National Association of Junior Auxiliaries (NAJA), a non-profit organization founded in 1941 with headquarters in Greenville, Mississippi. NAJA has more than 15,500 active, associate and life members in 98 chapters located in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, and Tennessee. Their slogan is "Care Today-Character Tomorrow".

There is a lack of consistency regarding the scales used to measure aesthetic pleasure. They are often chosen ad hoc or derived from other research fields but never validated for design.

Chermaine Chio (Nanyang Junior College)
Hello Ms Foo!
First of all, I would like to Thank You for all the encouragement and support that you have given me, especially during the 'A' level period! Without your guidance, I might not have been able to jump from borderline passes in school exams to an A grade in the 'A' levels, so THANK YOU!
During the course of almost 2 years being taught Economics by you, I have learnt to really Love the subject! Lessons were enjoyable as I felt at ease to share my opinions, and listen to other students' opinions, resulting in very interactive, and informative sessions! Your teaching methodology, together with the self-prepared notes and newspaper articles made learning Economics so much easier as I understood the concepts clearly from your lessons, and it was interesting to see how the concepts were applied to real world situations through the newspaper articles.
Most important, your patience and sincere belief in my ability led me to do well, and I am very grateful to have such a wonderful teacher like you!
Keep in touch!

Letters to the Editor
Almost 250 years ago, Thomas Paine's pamphlet "Common Sense," realized that he wasn't alone in his arguments for freedom. Today we find ourselves back in 1776, but this time our path isn't so clear cut.
The abuses being perpetrated by our government are just as obvious now as they were then, but instead of rising up with a collective voice, we sit idly by and watch as our hard won freedoms slowly dissolve into a puddle of apathy, political correctness and outright corruption. We feel alone as we hear the confusing debate over the obscure issues.
This is the purposeful division promoted by our political parties to keep us from uniting. After all, a citizenry that fights among itself over petty differences is too busy to notice the real cause of its problems.
John Schrand, Belleville

International design and architecture firm Perkins Eastman has announced that it will acquire ForrestPerkins as of January 1, 2016.
With offices in Dallas, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C., ForrestPerkins will continue to operate under the same name, focusing on luxury hospitality and high-end residential projects. Expanding their footprint, the firm will launch a new practice area under the combined leadership of ForrestPerkins' president Deborah Lloyd Forrest and Perkins Eastman's hospitality practice leader, Shawn Basler.
"I am thrilled to join forces with Perkins Eastman," said Forrest, who will remain in her current role, in a statement. "The opportunities our combined practice provides for my team, the ability to expand into new markets worldwide, as well as retaining and building on the ForrestPerkins brand are all compelling reasons, the most important of which is our shared philosophy and collaborative culture."
As a combined international practice, the company will total more than 1,000 employees. The acquisition will see ForrestPerkins open an atelier within Perkins Eastman's New York office in January, as well as relocate to new offices in Washington, D.C., and San Francisco later in the year. Perkins Eastman will also join ForrestPerkins in Dallas.
"We are excited to offer employees of both firms enhanced personal and professional growth opportunities through ForrestPerkins' unique design vision, combined with Perkins Eastman's global reach and broader architectural platform," said Basler in a statement.

Have you ever travelled interstate or overseas and thought about getting in touch with the local SCWBI group, but decided not to bother? I hope my story may encourage you to think again. There are surprising experiences and opportunities out there that you may be missing.
A few years ago I was visiting Britain and Europe travelling through London twice, each time for about a week, some weeks apart. As I had people to visit and things planned I decided not to complicate my life by arranging more activities.
However, amazing author and inspirational Regional Advisor, Susanne Gervay always encourages Aussie members travelling interstate or overseas to check out the SCBWI website calendar for possible meetings/events that may interest them. Not long before my departure I was talking to Susanne at our Sydney SCBWI meeting and she told me again to check it out. Boy, am I glad I did.
The whole procedure was extremely simple. The regional events calendar listed only one SCBWI event in London the first week I was there. It was part of their Professional Series - Meet the Publisher with Verna Wilkins, Founder and MD of Tamarind Books (Random House, UK). I sent off a quick email to the SCBWI contact address and received a friendly and welcoming email back. I discovered Verna was speaking on a topic I feel very passionate about – 'enjoyable and superbly illustrated stories which reflect the cultural diversity of the world in which our children are growing up'.
The evening meeting was held upstairs at the Theodore Bullfrog pub, a quaint, popular pub near the Thames, in central London. I was made to feel welcome and it was a pleasure to be introduced to many interesting authors and illustrators and I thoroughly enjoyed Verna's presentation. At the end of the meeting I was standing with Margaret Carey, my British SCBWI contact, and some other authors talking to Verna when Margaret mentioned I had recently written a picture book MS about the excitement and misgivings of a little girl starting school. Verna said she was interested in the topic and asked me to email her a copy of the MS from Europe as I was leaving the next morning for Spain. If she liked it she would arrange a meeting for the next time I visited London.
I sent the MS and Verna arranged the meeting. With Verna's wonderful enthusiasm and her insightful input, some suggested changes were made and I signed the contract a couple of months later after I returned to Australia.
Unfortunately, not long after that Verna retired to pursue her own writing. Over the next couple of years or so various people in charge of the project came and went until I was beginning to think that the book may never be published. Then one day I received an email from Joe Marriott, Picture Book Editor, Random House UK and with his energy and vision and the wonderful vibrant illustrations reflecting ethnic diversity by UK illustrator, Laura Hughes, 'Jellybean Goes to School' was finally released in UK, Australia and NZ late 2013.
Margaret Roc is an author, co-author and editor of more than 50 books for children and teachers including many non-fiction titles, early readers and picture books. www.margaretroc.com
Laura Hughes is a talented London based illustrator http://laurahughes-illustrator.co.uk
Susanne Gervay is author of many books including the I am Jack series, and Regional Advisor, Australia East & New Zealand SCBWI www.sgervay.com
Verna Wilkins, author and founder of Tamarind Books, is a patron and consultant of Tamarind Books (Random House, UK, now Penguin Random House)
Margaret Carey, author/illustrator and my very pleasant and obliging SCBWI contact, helped organise the Professional Series for many years. firstname.lastname@example.com Sadly, she died in 2011.

Thermoset molding compounds like SMC, BMC and TMC are not widely understood in many industries. Engineers accustomed to designing in metals, castings and thermoplastics are not as familiar with thermosets. That is where Premix product engineering steps in. We offer as much support as you need – whether it be a complete conversion from a metal fabrication, or a design review of an existing molding for improved manufacturability.
We combine our standard design guidelines with practical experience gleaned from a variety of industries to develop a molding that meets your needs. Our in-house part design and finite element analysis (FEA) capabilities are all about creating the most reliable, cost-effective molding for your application.
It begins with the Premix engineering team, who develop a thorough understanding of your application and how it functions in YOUR customer's products. Our project management process gathers this information into a concise format that drives the total conversion process. With over 50 years of materials development experience, and thousands of formulations in use, we can draw from a proven stable of products to meet the needs of your application.
In the conversion process, we provide as much engineering support as you need – from as little as collaborative design reviews of existing products to molding-ready model file generation, FEA and production drawings on your company's title blocks.
At product launch, Premix manages the mold and secondary equipment construction, develops the manufacturing process and follows a rigorous APQP process to meet the demanding, and often times accelerated, time lines driven by your customers. And with a quality system that is the foundation for our design, development and production processes, you can be assured that your product will be delivered on time with no defects.

Aluminum net news: China Customs data display, in June China imported 6078300 tons of bauxite, this year 1 toJune Chinese bauxite imports totaled 32705000 tons, an increase of 29.75%, the domestic bauxite imports will continue to maintain growth.
Investigation shows, the total increase in imports of bauxite, the first half of Indonesia bauxite importsrecovered, compared with the same period last year rose 2.95% to 21395300 tons. Imports from Australia bauxiteoutput increased by 56.99% year-on-year to 6680700tons. India imports of bauxite 3425800 tons, compared with the same period last year increased 3192000 tons.
At the same time, the domestic sources of bauxite importsalso increased the Garner, Guinea, Guyana, Fiji and Brazil, showing that the domestic alumina enterprisesdiversified import strategy, to avoid the shortage of supply or restrict, influence of alumina production.
According to statistics, during the first half of the year,Guinea, Guyana, China since Garner, Fiji and Brazil 5 of the bauxite imports 1097500 tons.
China's total imports of bauxite rise, on one hand because Indonesia has repeatedly said in 2014 that will limit the ore exports, domestic enterprises in order to avoid the shortage of raw materials increased risk ofstock amount and the purchasing country of origin; on the other hand, because of the local miners to avoid after 2014 can not export ore, increase the intensity of exportsthis year. Two kinds of factors resulting in this year,increasing the total imports of bauxite.

Seasons in India
Most populous democracy in the world, occupying seventh place on the size of its territory, the largest in the world cinema supplier, a wise and mysterious India, is a country in South Asia on the Indian subcontinent, from the South washed by the Indian ocean, from the West – the Arabian sea, and on the East by the Bay of Bengal.
Crazy, noisy, full of contrasts, dirty, but at the same time bright and stunning. All about India – one of the oldest countries of the world or to love with all our heart, or hated, for she does not tolerate compromise. The modern face of India is evident in the amazing variety of religions and castes, landscapes, sights and sounds, the people, known for its warm welcome and lots of love to trade in crowded cities and chaotic traffic on the roads.
From lush jungles to sun-bleached deserts, from soaring mountain peaks of the Himalayas to Golden beaches of Goa, from yoga centers to exciting rave discos in the open air – India has something to offer to all its guests. And she's not short. Every year during the tourist season, which lasts from October to March, comes to more than 6 million tourists from all over the world. As a rule, the inexplicable attractiveness of the country prevails, and most of them come back again and again.

So, in the Thar desert in the West there are virtually no precipitation, and East of the earth richly impregnated with rain water, providing a lush plant growth and a variety of wildlife.

On December 11, 2010, IPC announced that paratriathlon was officially accepted into the Paralympic Games. Paratriathlon made its Paralympic debut at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Paralympic Games. At the Rio Games, USA Paratriathlon earned 4 medals, including a podium sweep in the PT2 category. USA Paratriathlon looks to build upon this success as the 2020 Tokyo Paralympic Games approach.MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE 2020 TOKYO PARALYMPIC GAMES CAN BE FOUND HERE.
USAT has many of the greatest elite paratriathletes the world has ever seen.
Just like the rest of USA Triathlon, there are paratriathletes of all levels: beginners all the way to competitive racers. Although paratriathletes have some additional needs and a slightly different set of rules that govern their races, they seek no extraordinary waivers or undue assistance that would set them apart from the field. In fact, it is their ability to compete at every USAT sanctioned race that makes them a vibrant part of the USAT family.

Health care and bank stocks have pulled US indexes slightly lower
NEW YORK (AP) Stocks finished slightly lower Friday in subdued trading ahead of a three-day holiday weekend. Health care companies and banks slipped.
President Donald Trump signed the Republican-backed tax bill into law, but for the fourth day in a row, stocks didn't move much. They had made strong gains in recent weeks as investors became more sure the $1.5 trillion package would pass.
High-dividend stocks made small gains even as bond yields remained near their recent highs. The price of bitcoin fell as much as 30 percent after making gigantic gains throughout the year.
The price of bitcoin was down about 8 percent in the late afternoon after trading in a gigantic range between $10,834 and $15,830 during the day, according to the tracking site CoinDesk.
"The bubble is really in the conversation about bitcoin at this point," said Brett Ewing, chief market strategist of First Franklin. "If you were to go out and talk to 100 people you know, all of them know about bitcoin ... but how many of them actually own it?"
The Standard & Poor's 500 index fell 1.23 points, or less than 0.1 percent, to 2,683.34. The Dow Jones industrial average lost 28.23 points, or 0.1 percent, to 24,754.06. The Nasdaq composite fell 5.40 points, or 0.1 percent, to 6,959.96.
The Russell 2000 index of smaller-company stocks dipped 4.18 points, or 0.3 percent, to 1,542.93. Those companies, which stand to benefit more than others from lower tax rates, outpaced the market this week.
Stocks are below the record highs they reached Monday but still finished higher for the fifth week in a row.
Markets will be closed Monday in observance of Christmas, and with just four days of trading left in 2017, stocks are on pace to finish every month of the year with gains, when dividends are included.
Nike slumped $1.48, or 2.3 percent, to $63.29. The company had a strong quarter overall, as its profit and sales both beat Wall Street projections. But Nike's North American business continued to struggle.
Bond prices were little changed. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note remained at 2.48 percent.
Banks took modest losses. They've done far better than the rest of the market as the tax bill has been at the forefront of investors' minds and interest rates have moved higher.
The S&P 1500 banking index, which tracks small, medium and large-sized banks, has soared 9 percent over the last month. The S&P 1500 is up about 3 percent over that time.
Papa John's founder John Schnatter will step down as the pizza chain's CEO next month, about two months after he criticized the NFL leadership over national anthem protests by players. The company did not say if the move was related to those comments, for which Schnatter later apologized.

The chance to work as a contractor in the United States represents an exciting opportunity, allowing Canadian workers to gain invaluable experience in a foreign market while also gaining insight into US business practices. However, when it comes to compensation and employer and employee responsibilities, it's important that Canadian contract workers know where they stand. Canadian and US regulations concerning compensation can be quite different, especially as they concern contract workers. As a Canadian citizen working in the United States for a US employer, knowing how to navigate two different legal systems can be confusing. However, it doesn't have to be! Here are some of the things we think you should know.
Non-Compete Agreements
There are some fairly significant differences between the US and Canada when it comes to labour laws, and in particular, non-compete agreements. While non-compete agreements exist in Canada, and Canadian employers do have the right to ask you to sign one, they have nowhere near the influence that they do in the US. In Canada, while you may be asked to sign a non-compete agreement, they are rarely enforced, as the Canadian government has deemed them in violation of workers' rights. This is not the case in the US, where non-compete agreements are enforceable, and incredibly common. Which is to say that, if you are a Canadian contract worker in the US, and are asked to sign a non-compete agreement, it is important that you understand the implications of the agreement. If you choose to enter into a non-compete agreement, you are barred from discussing trade secrets, and in addition, you are unable to find employment (within the US) in a similar field for a designated period of time.
If you are going to work in the US, it is imperative that you are properly classified and properly compensated by your US employer. Many employers deliberately misclassify their employees as contract workers, despite the fact that they are working the same hours and working under the same conditions as a full employee. This benefits the employer because, as a contract worker, they are not obliged to provide you with any of the benefits that they would be legally required to extend to a regular employee, things like health benefits, and they are also able to evade various tax laws. If you are an independent contractor, you have certain rights that you should be allowed to exercise, including the ability to set your own hours, or to subcontract your work out to others. Employers, who have taken you on to complete the job of a regular employee, but have classified you as an independent contract worker, are in serious violation of Canadian labour laws, which are enforceable through the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). If you have been misclassified, you are not being properly compensated, and are not receiving the full roster of benefits that you are entitled to!
Having the Right Paperwork
The NAFTA agreement between the US, Canada, and Mexico means that Canadians have the ability to work in the US under the TN category, or non-immigrant classification. If you have Canadian citizenship, you are not required to apply for a VISA to work abroad, but must be able to provide a letter from your employer that details what you will be doing for them, the length of your stay, and your relevant qualifications. TN non-immigrants are allowed to stay in the US for a period up to three years, at which point they would need to begin to get an extension from your employer, or return to Canada to begin the process again. It is important to note, however, that if you are doing contract work in the US under the TN category, you are considered a Canadian citizen living temporarily outside of Canada, and are required to continue to pay both provincial and federal taxes.

An American In Venice
Saturday, May 20, 2006
VENICE -- It's just another church in a city full of churches, and the name doesn't register at first. You're walking down the Via Garibaldi on a warm spring day, reveling in the street life on the unusually broad avenue and in the relative absence of tourists here in the outer reaches of the Castello district, where native Venetians still outnumber interlopers like you.
Then you look up and think: San Francesco di Paola! Didn't Tassini, the night watchman in "Through a Glass Darkly," live opposite the church of San Francesco di Paola? Didn't Brunetti walk down here from the Questura , the police station, to meet him in that bar that draws little swirling hearts with cappuccino foam?
And just like that, you've entered the Venice of Donna Leon.
As it happens, you've gotten a bit obsessed with Leon's Venetian mysteries ("Through a Glass Darkly," just published in the United States by Grove Atlantic, is her 15th). All feature Commissario Guido Brunetti, tenacious detective and devoted family man, whose unblinkered humanity you've come to admire. More to the point, perhaps, for someone with just a few days to spend here, reading Leon has fueled a fantasy common to visitors in this secretive, surreally beautiful city: that somehow, despite your total lack of local credentials, you'll be invited through what writer John Berendt calls "the invisible door" between the tourist's Venice and the one where actual Venetians live.
Pretty to think so. Won't happen.
But in Leon moments like this one, you come about as close as you're going to get. A minute ago you were an outsider with zero language skills and too little time. Now you're an intimate of Guido Brunetti, who has come to this very spot to meet a man who works in a glass factory (a fornace ) on the island of Murano.
Something sinister is unfolding on the glassblowers' island that your good friend the commissario does not yet understand.
* * *
Donna Leon's Venice is so popular in Europe, where her books are bestsellers, that specially organized tours bring fans from Austria, Germany and Switzerland to follow Commissario Brunetti's footsteps through the calles (lanes) and campos (public squares) of her adopted home. She's less well-known in the United States, but Grove Atlantic is working on that: It has brought her to Washington this week to commune with booksellers at the gargantuan annual publishing convention, BookExpo America.
Venice is so much Leon's element, though, that you've been hoping to encounter her in it first. With luck, she'll make it back from a trip to Zurich in time. But in case she doesn't -- well, why not take a Brunetti tour?
This one is given by Leon's old friend Toni Sepeda, another expatriate American with a home in Venice. The two met while teaching U.S. servicemen at European bases -- on contract with the University of Maryland -- which Sepeda still does but which Leon's writing career has rendered unnecessary.
Sepeda is a diminutive, gray-haired Henry James fanatic with a completely un-James-like directness and an infectious energy belying her sixty-something years. She meets you in front of the reborn opera house, La Fenice, which seems doubly appropriate.

Whimsy Winx was kind enough to send me a few review items from her new store, Winx Home & Garden. I also took a trip to her new location to check things out, and I liked what I saw! Whimsy is set up outside, very naturally working her items into the landscape, which I really like. It's a very scenic and peaceful location.
I'm going to jump right to my favorite thing: Petite Maison Citrouille...AKA a really cute pumpkin that you could live in!
I set this up on the edge of the sim, by our haunted house, so that everyone can enjoy it for the fall season. Until I move into it permanently, that is. ;) Inside are two seating areas, arranged sort of like bunk beds (always fun), with several couples poses included. Just so cute.
Whimsy also shared her Autumn Centerpiece with me...the flowers are gorgeous! This is just perfect for a large wooden mantel...I just have to get one of those now. (*points all mantel designers to the 'review copies' page).
At Winx Home & Garden, you'll also find lovely columnades and a gazebo, as well as a very nice fire/conversation pit -- all very romantic without being schmaltzy. I look forward to seeing what Whimsy comes up with next!

Maker of nontoxic pest control products bringing 380 jobs to Mooresville
Earth-Kind Inc., a maker of all-natural, nontoxic pest control products, plans to lease 50,000 square feet of manufacturing space and eventually employ 380 full-time workers, the company announced Monday.
Earth-Kind, based in Bismarck, N.D., develops and manufactures indoor products to control rodents, pests and odors.
The company will invest $5.8 million in new machinery and equipment and initially employ 14 full-time workers. The company plans to grow to 380 full-time workers over four years.
The site at 346 E. Plaza Drive (N.C. 150 East) is the former Draymore curtain plant. The Pit Indoor Kart Racing facility has operated a 70,000-square-foot road course-style track in part of the complex since 2007 and will continue to do so once Earth-Kind moves into the complex, a track employee said Monday.
Earth-Kind was named a 2014 Top 30 Most Innovative USA Bio-Based Company by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and to the Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing private companies.
Customers include John Deere, Tractor Supply Co., ACE Hardware and Menards.
Earth-Kind selected Mooresville because of its "high quality of life and schools" and its location geographically to serve its growing customer base, CEO Kari Warberg Block said.
"One particular item that made Earth-Kind Inc. an important project for Mooresville is their company policy of supporting individuals with disabilities," Robert Carney, executive director of the Mooresville South Iredell Economic Development Corp., said in the announcement. "Many of the jobs offered are made available to the disabled."
"Earth-Kind Inc. invests in and retrofits their machinery and equipment to ensure that individuals with disabilities working in their facility have a safe working environment," Carney said. "These are the type of leaders and companies we want located here."

2019年4月9日 | 2.61-upd7 版
Works nice i on my edge 520 plus. Easy to ride right watt zones on the road. Graph in the middle is nice to see past few seconds. Like the colours. Lap time doesn't stop when ride is paused.
Matthew White
2018年5月5日 | 2.61-upd5 版
This app is good for what it does, which is to show graphically the wattage being put out. I use it mostly for indoor sessions that require me to hit a watt zone target for a lap time (lap time is my second field, 3s watts is the main). After some non-intuitive fiddling with the zones, I've managed to show the zones the same as my lactate blood tested zones. However, there's a really annoying display feature with 5 numbers evenly spaced that have NO correlation with the zones... the colours and the Z meter field are accurate, but those 5 crappy numbers are really distracting... but can't be turned off. (even in the picture description it's faulty. The 1 is next to the grey, the 2 is next to the light green z2, but the 3 is next to the z4 yell and the 4 is next to the z6 red band.) 3 star until the developer gets rid of the useless and distracting 5 number series, or replaces them with the real zone numbers.
2018年5月5日, bjarnib
Hello Matthew and thanks for the review, To clarify, the numbers around the scale are denoting the wattage scale (x100) for some reference. I.e. 1 denotes 100, 2 for 200 etc. The throught being to tie the othewise non-labeled zone pallette to a wattage scale. Hope this explains this a bit.
2018年2月10日 | 2.61-upd2 版
Why do I have 10 zones on my Garmin 520? How about making it so that you can choose between a 5/7 zone system? And the option to choose % or zone 1/5/7?
2018年2月10日, bjarnib
Please get in touch directly via the email link if you have questions. I will be happy to work with you. Note that by defining the zones properly you can effectively choose the number of zones displayed on your device. The zone definition in percentages allows you to change only your FTP as it changes and not reenter all the zones.

I've been using this data field on my Fenix 5x for about five rides so far. It has been really helpful. What's great is the ability to create custom zones, change smoothing options, and display cadence. The little time vs power plot is helpful too; it's nice to know which zones I was in when I wasn't looking at my watch. Like another commenter requested, I would also like to be able to edit the zone names. I use the same zone definitions as that person (1,2,X,3,Y,4,5). Thank you!
Shane James
2018年1月13日 | 2.61-upd 版
Seems to work great on a fenix 5s for running power so far, Not sure if its doable or a quick fix but Can you code it so the Zone txt is editable? Id like it to say 1, 2 , x, 3 , Y, 4, 5 rather than 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 to mach the zones I use. Also id like to use your hr guage on the Fenix 5s I have if that can be coded as well!
Ernesto Baca
2018年1月5日 | 2.61-upd 版
Great idea, but still testing it. I have a Fenix 5x and can't figure out how to change the app's settings; it is not clear to me from the write-up. I'd like to experiment with the 3s/10s/30s averaging, and with the %FTP zones. Also, is it possible to set the extra field to pace? Thanks.

Hi On my Fenix 3 hr doesn't work. Problaby its my fault.... Somebody can explane to me the correct use of this app? Thanks a lot....
2017年12月28日, bjarnib
Please check the instructions on the download page. You need to create a new screen with only one field and then you select the ConnectIQ field PowerGauge to display on the screen. This is helpful also : Check the section on Data Fields. http://www.dcrainmaker.com/2015/01/connect-iq-intro.html Also make sure you have a poer meter connected and providing data to your fenix. This app requires a power meter to work.
Brian Jeffrey
2017年12月25日 | 2.61-upd 版
Great. Stable, works as described on my Fenix 3. Good UX, readability. The smoothing options meet my needs, usually 3s. One more field would be nice, and I'd make it my home data screen.
Marc Schmaus
2017年10月6日 | 2.61 版
This App works fine on Edge 1030. Some suggestions for a little improvement: The power curve in the middle is not very useful. Its better to create another field and move the power field to the position of the curve. The new field has the same format as power data field, where the user would select between hr, km/h, cadence etc.
2017年10月5日 | 2.61 版
This is the perfect app (version 2.61) to visualize your power zones for running (with STRYD foot pod) and cycling. I use this app on FR935 (running power) and Edge 1030 (cycling power) without problems. Very useful is that you can adjust the low power value from 0 Watt to 200 Watt and the high power value down to 300 Watt. So you can get a high resolution of visualization of the really interesting power zones.

Working brilliantly with Stryd for running on the F3. If only the power designation range (1-2-3-4-5) was moved on the inside as it overlaps with average power on top. Z1 for running is around 80-90% for running, so half of the range is Z1. Could we also request for more options for runners like pace, HR zone, vertical speed (essential for hill climbing) etc?

400W is too high minimum limit for handcyclists. This limit should be removed or lowered significantly.

Works great, until the IQ! screen comes up per the previous reviewer. This is on Edge 1000 with latest firmware. Needs to be more stable, then 5 stars!

If you touch the screen while display this a IQ! is displayed instead of the data field. And it won't come back to PowerGauge until you reboot the Edge820. What does the numbers 0-5 stand for? Obviously it it not the powerZones as there are seven of them. If these things are fixed I will change my rating to ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Cannot get this to work at all on the Edge 520. It displays the graph okay, but I don't get any reading when Im using it. Let me know how to fix this and not only would it get 5 stars but I would gladly donate for your work, cos it looks like it would be well worth the money, if it works.

Like this app but would be great if I could see cadence too. If you made the power and lap fields slightly smaller you should be able to fit in.
2016年10月21日 | 2.1 版
Overall i find it a nice app but i thing there could be a couple improvements: The power curve in the middle does tell you much. It creates a visual distraction at best. It would be much better if you remove the curve and move power up and in its place. Then create another field between power and lap time, with the same format as power data field, where the user would select between hr, cadence and other data.

Can't set Pwr in zones higher than 200W fix this any I'll change review to 5*
2016年9月20日 | 2.0 版
- Color Zones are way off after changing FTP making this app useless. - Zone 7 is undefined - not possible to set Power to instant (only 3, 10, 30s) - lack of custom datafields. Overall nice app, I like it for recovery rides, but crappy effort & bugs. Fix it. A good idea would be to add a second pointer to the graph. One for instant power, the other one for 30s.
2016年10月21日, bjarnib
Please note that power zones are set in percentages of FTP - not watts. So 100 corresponds to your FTP. Also you need to update your FTP in the app settings since Garmin unfortunately does not enable developer access to your FTP set in the User Power Settings. Please get in touch if you are aware of bugs or problems.

Robert Adams, Finite and Infinite Goods: A Framework for Ethics. Chapter 10, Obligation, Part I: Sanctions and the Semantics of Obligation/
By David Baggett Chapter 10, Obligation, Part II: Guilt
Chapter 10 Obligation, Part III: Social Requirement
Adams opts for the view that the good provides the proper framework for thinking about the right, and not the other way around. But he thinks the right, and categories closely related to it, have a distinctive and important role in ethics. The good has a conceptual priority over its opposite that the right does not have. Goodness is not to be understood in terms of badness. But right is to be understood in relation to wrong. If something is not wrong to do, it's right in the weak sense of being permissible; if something is wrong not to do, it's right in the strong sense of moral obligation.
The obligatory, we may say, is what we have to do. It's at least conceptually possible there are good actions to perform that aren't obligatory—this is the category of supererogation—and this is one way the concept of the obligatory marks off a potentially smaller territory than that of the good. Behavior may be bad without violating an obligation, but what is wrong must always be bad. That is because anything we can plausibly regard as moral obligation must be grounded in a relation to something of real value; this is a point that will engage much of Adams's attention in his discussion of obligation.
Kant embraced "rigorism," the idea that no action is good in some ways but bad in others—this was a function of his view that nothing is good independently of its relation to morally ordered will. In Adams's framework, though, in which the goodness of finite things consists in fragmentary and multidimensional resemblance to a supreme Good, it's to be expected that actions will sometimes be partly good and partly bad.
In Adams's view, the most important difference between the right, or obligation, and the good, is that right and wrong, as matters of obligation, must be understood in relation to a social context, broadly understood, but that is not true of all the types of good with which we are concerned.
Adams's main project in this chapter is to argue that facts of obligation are constituted by broadly social requirements. In a later chapter he argues that those that have full moral validity are aptly understood as constituted by divine commands, and thus by requirements arising in a social system in which God is the leading participant.
Sanctions and the Semantics of Obligation: Adams quotes Mill's effort to capture a truth of meaning: there's a connection between the semantics and metaphysics of morals—and regarding obligations, the idea semantically is that part of the notion of Duty in every one of its forms is that a person may rightfully be compelled to fulfill it. A person ought to be punished in some way or other for failing to discharge a duty, if not by opinion, then by the reproaches of his own conscience.
It's not that the nature of moral obligation is given by the meanings of the words, such as 'right' or 'wrong' or 'obligation'. What we understand if we understand what those words mean in the relevant contexts is rather a complex role that moral obligation plays in a scheme of things. Understanding the semantics of obligation leaves metaphysical questions open, regarding the reality and nature of obligations. We can understand the role of obligations and still ask if there's really something that is suited to fill this role. And if so, what is the best candidate?
Not all uses of 'ought' express a moral requirement. Sometimes it expresses a moral opinion alone. What must be true, on broadly semantical grounds, of anything that is to count as moral requirement or moral obligation is that we should care about complying with it. Anything that really is a moral obligation should be treated with a certain seriousness. If we shrug it off with a "Who cares about that?" we are not really treating it as a moral obligation. It is part of the semantically indicated role of moral obligation that it is something one should take seriously and care about. And it's important that it be something one can be motivated to comply with, and something such as to ground reasons for compliance.
If an act is morally wrong, then in the absence of sufficient excuse, it is appropriate for the agent to be blamed, by others and by himself. To say of one he would be to blame is to say that it would be rational for him to feel guilty and for others to resent him, Gibbard says, who understands blame in terms of feelings of guilt and resentment. Adams agrees that such feelings are importantly typical of blame, but blaming need not be emotional. But blame in some form is appropriate when an agent is fully responsible for a wrong action.
Adams asserts that it's part of the roles of obligation and wrongness that fulfillment of obligation and opposition to wrong actions should be publicly inculcated.
Adams argues these constraints on the nature of moral obligation seem to be built into the meaning of the discourse of moral obligation, and thus broadly analytic. But some theories ignore them. For example, utilitarians have sometimes tried to sever the link between obligation and sanctions.
Parfit seems to imply that requiring moral theories to satisfy the publicity condition (it must be a theory that everyone ought to accept, and publicly acknowledge to each other) commits one to some sort of subjectivism or antirealism, but Adams thinks this surely wrong, saying that to affirm a principle of conduct, while denying that it ought in general to be inculcated, if it is applicable to people in general, is not to affirm it as a principle of moral obligation.
Adams thinks it's also a mistake to collapse the notion of the morally obligatory into the notion of what we have most reason (from a moral point of view) to do. Nagel does this when characterizing impersonal or agent-neutral reasons for action becoming "demands of impersonal morality" without any argument for the transition. There's nothing in this that represents the full force of moral requirement or obligation, for there is a large difference between doing something irrational and doing something morally wrong. The concept of moral obligation is not there just to tell us about balances of moral reasons, but rather to express something more urgent.

Popular music is, in large part, pretty fleeting, meaning what's popular this month is likely to not get the same amount of airplay the next. Of course there are songs that stand the test of time, but that's not what we're here for .
The music you choose to play at your wedding is incredibly important and can (and likely will) play a huge part in what kind of vibe you give you and your guests. So, that being said, we want to offer you a quick guide on what you should AND should not play at your 2017 wedding.
2017 wedding songs: For Sure Play
"Can't Stop the Feeling" - Justing Timberlake
Good luck not dancing to this song. In fact, we dare you not to dance.
"24k Magic" - Bruno Mars
Bruno Mars brings the party with him. This is a no brainer.
"Juju On That Beat" - Zay Hilfigerrr and Zayion McCall
Dance Challenge accepted.
Early 2000s Hip Hop
Peace up, A-Town down. You'll thank us later.
2017 wedding songs: Don't press Play
"Blurred Lines" - Robin Thicke
We get why this song had its hayday, but it's time to hang up the hat. We'll see you in 10 years, Robin (see: 2000s hip hop).
"Raise Your Glass" - Pink
We love you, Pink, but this song has collected dust. Holler at us with a new single.
"Cha Cha Slide" - All Variations
Just watch the video. Want to play this at your wedding now? This song is generally when people conveniently fill up their drink.
"Time of Our Lives" - Pitbull ft. Ne-Yo
Even the 305 is over this song.
If you're looking for a wedding DJ who knows what songs are in, drop us a line. We'd love to tell you about what we think about the trending music and what you should play. Also, Nice Entertainment has a pretty sweet song request platform. Check it out here.

New Listing! 6050 Magnolia St: Offered at $109,900!September 25, 2017 | by Brooke Willmes
Tidy and spacious porch front row with newer electric service, plumbing, kitchen and baths. Enter into an open layout into the living room and dining room. We'd guess original floors lay beneath the pristine carpet but it's installed so well we haven't been able to check. The kitchen features newer, tall cabinetry, white appliances including dishwasher and tile countertops. There is space here for a bistro table as well or more cabinets. At the rear of the house, via pocket door, there's a full bathroom with shower stall and behind that, a separate laundry area. The rear yard is grassy and long and the rear of the house features new stucco. Upstairs, you'll find three nicely sized bedrooms with a recently remodeled bathroom with tile. There is a great deal of closet space upstairs and the front bedroom has an original armoire. Original railing at top of stairs. This house has vents so it wouldn't be necessary to reinvent the wheel to install air conditioning, especially with the brand new electrical panel in the basement. Replaced sewer line in the basement.

Transition Inventory
In January 2016, GSA created a validated service inventory database to capture Transition Inventory (TI) from expiring Networx, WITS 3, and Local Telecommunications Services contracts. TI is accessible within the GSA E-MORRIS application to authorized agency users for the purposes of transition planning. GSA continues to validate TI on a monthly basis, updating data to account for new records, disconnected services, and changes.
Each agency needs to have at least one user with E-MORRIS access in order to manage the TI data. GSA recommends having multiple users with E-MORRIS accounts as backup. These users will have the ability to access and download TI data, and view transition progress tracking statistics based on the AB Codes and AHCs identified during the registration process.
Each agency was expected to review and confirm the validated TI no later than October 31, 2016. Agencies should continue to monitor TI for accuracy as it is used for tracking and reporting transition progress. Agencies can access data by using the TI module in E-MORRIS.
For information and instructions, download the following:
- Transition Inventory User Guide [PDF - 3 MB]
- Transition Inventory Frequently Asked Questions [PDF - 300 KB]
Key steps include:
- Identifying agency points of contact responsible for managing the transition inventory;
- Updating or requesting access to E-MORRIS and the TI module;
- Retrieving and reviewing the data to confirm ongoing updates and changes;
- Providing feedback to the GSA Transition Coordination Center (TCC); and
- Continuing to identify exceptions and missing inventory by working with the GSA TCC to ensure inventory remains valid.
For detailed questions about TI, please email: firstname.lastname@example.com.

It is actually a coincidence that this article is coming out on July 4th, but I couldn't pick a better time for it to coincide with. The significance of 7.4.1776 should be more than cookouts and fireworks. The US is the way it is because of its freedoms. How people can somehow seek to change what it is, and still expect it to remain successful is puzzling. Around the world citizens are starting to fight back against the oppressing external forces that are against their way of life.
Here are just a few.
The US is beginning to feel the squeeze of oppression that it has been insulated from for a long time. As tensions grow, the ones seeking change are the ones that should be questioned not the ones who seek to keep the status quo or freedom. All of the concessions that the seekers of change are working toward directly impact freedom, and it should scare you.
"Debts would be abolished first; Taxes laid heavy on the rich, and not at all o the others; and at at last a downright equal division of everything be demanded, and voted."
Adams' quote should scare you because it is exactly what leftist groups like Antifa and BLM are advocating for along with gun control. Despite where the argument is misdirected, guns are a constitutional right(in the US) in order to prevent an unjust government.
MEXICOMexico has its own reasons for armed resistance. Currently the resistance in Mexico is fragmented and doesnt really have a unifying symbol or flag. Drug cartels are running many of the rural areas. Local government officials from the cops up to the mayors are corrupt. Cartels carry out killings with no consequences in many areas. One source puts murder prosecution down as low as 10%.
The people of Mexico have had enough. Their lives and livelihoods are being taken from them. Local businessmen are standing up militias armed by mercenaries and volunteers to take back control from the cartels.
Cartels are international terrorist that are affecting the US in the form of large drug funded gangs.
The eastern bloc nations of the former USSR(Hungary, Bulgaria, Croatia, Poland, Romania, ect) are extremely vigilant against oppressive governments. It is no coincidence they are defensive when it comes to Islamic immigration. Islam is more than a religion. Islam is an oppressive political ideology and not a religion. Bulgaria has a group called BNO Shipka. They are associated with a wider group called Knights Templar International. Hungary is out spoken as a country against Islamic immigration and openly and actively invites disenfranchised Europeans to take refuge in its Christian country.
Illegal immigration is a forced political paradigm shift from freedom to a strict adherence to Sharia Law. Sharia Law should be opposed on every front. It is antithetical to established law in the US. Legal immigration is at the will of the government, and is dependent on immigrants willingness to assimilate US values. If US values are antithetical to immigrants values then why do they want to come here?
Syria has been a proxy war for some time. Fighters from all over the globe are converging on Syria to fight on both sides. Some under the banner of governments in coalitions and others as independent freedom fighters. The fight here is for the political ideology of oppression that is Islam. Syria is already Islamic, but for some that is not good enough. Daesh(ISIS) is the vehicle for terrorism and oppressive government.
Syria is what will happen when the war comes to the US. The US has been insulated by the wisdom of the founding fathers and the design of the Constitution. The Constitution is slowly being eroded. Not only must the Constitution be protected from foreign enemies, but it also must be protected from domestic enemies seeking to corrupt it from within.
Ukraine had the unique experience of being invaded by a foreign country for a mere land grab. Today that is largely unheard of. Russia made a move into Ukraine and Ukraine's military was unready for the event. Seeing the government was unable to protect them from the Russians, the people formed volunteer militias to fight. The Ukrainian Insurgent Army initially activated in WW2 under the flag above. It has recently been activated under the same flag fighting the same ideal. The acting leader of the country was wise enough to see this force and utilize it in preservation of the country. The documentary places a diabolical spin on the milita, but Vice is pretty far left. The reporter is visibly under the influence of drugs for most of the filming.
We look to China and their claims on Taiwan and the small islands to its south that it keeps trying to arm. Korea has cooled down for the moment, but who knows how that will evolve. Our allies could drag us into a war. It is nice being isolated by vast oceans, but Hawaii and Guam are geographically vulnerable. The contiguous states are not out of reach with current technology. What if that war comes to the US?
These current events should be a warning to those who have freedom and are all to familiar to those who have lost it. There WILL come a time that you will have to stop talking and start fighting for it. Are you willing? How far will you let it get? It is a tough decision to make. The oppressors count on the restraint of the people to slowly get used to their rights being eroded. Be vigilant.
"The best prophet of the future is the past." -Lord Byron
**2019 Update**The fight for Freedom rages on all over the globe.
France started a Yellow Vest movement to resist the burdensome taxation brought about by taxes to restrict fuel sales. The protest quickly evolved to a broader taking back of basic freedoms the state had stolen from the people.
Hong Kong started protest to prevent the encroachment of the ChiComms. Beijing is prepping to push in and subdue the protesters while they wave AMERICAN flags and sing the anthem of the US. The global standard of freedom. It is amazing how the Democratic party can say the US and oppressive nation.

In a hurry? Here are the best products at a glance.
The golden retriever was initially bred as a working dog, but then someone found out that they make amazing family companions, too! These lovable pups deserve the best, and we've researched and reviewed top dog food options to help you put together a great meal for your golden retriever. Before you jump into the reviews, check out these specs to consider while you compare!
Food Type - In these reviews, we focused on dry dog foods, since it's pretty expensive to feed a large breed on wet food exclusively!
Dog Age - Dog foods can be formulated for specific age ranges or for all life stages, including puppy, adult, and senior dogs.
Package Size - How much are you getting? Knowing the available package sizes can help you compare value across different brands.
Dehydrated - Dehydrated dog food is a variant on the raw dog food craze that can be easier to store and preserve.
Main Protein - If you want to avoid certain protein sources or to shake things up with a non-typical protein, pay attention to this spec!
Made In - We looked for dog foods that are made in the USA, because they have great quality control and regulations.
Now that you know what to look for, let's get into the reviews! The top pick and budget pick summarize the overall winners and best value options, but we also reviewed eight other amazing dog foods for your consideration that suit the needs of golden retrievers.
