Introducing your dog to your newborn.
Introducing your dog to your newborn.
If your dog has a pulse, then (s)he has a very wide spectrum of emotions.
Thus, it stands to reason that if your dog has emotions, there are plenty of
reasons to be nervous about an introduction and initial weeks of interaction
between your newborn and your dog. After all, this is the ultimate mix of
jealousy, liftesyle change, nervousness on your part, post partum
exhaustion, and so on.
Now, I'm no authority on this subject, but having just gone through it with
pretty good success across the board (the "board" being a trinity of
Ridgebacks with very different personalities), I'm happy to share what has
worked well for us. For what it's worth, here's how we made for a happy and
smooth transition from being without kids to bringing our first child into
the family.
The process starts *months* before the baby's birth. Here are some pre-birth
measures to consider :
Rather than bombard your dog with new baby stuff (furniture, contraptions,
lotions, clothes, swings, seats, strollers, etc.) when the baby comes home,
it's best to introduce the baby-related "stuff" to your dog before the baby
is born. "Trick" your dog into thinking that the stuff has nothing to do
with the baby. After all, how can he make the connection between the baby
and its stuff when the baby isn't in the picture yet? Take all the baby
stuff and just place it around the house. Especially in the high traffic
areas like living rooms, family rooms, kitchens, and so on. Let it just sit
there for a couple weeks.
Invite friends with infants to visit your house. Reward your dog with praise
and treats) when he shows *gentle* concern for the baby. Encourage him to
become "light-footed" and to hold back his exuberance if he's inclined to
throw himself around when he gets excited.
Buy a doll and talk to it so that dog understands that this universe allows
for the possibility that you might talk to and care for someone else, other
than him.
Use baby lotion on yourself to accustom the dog to the baby's smell.
If your dog is allowed up on the bed, you'll want to give some thought to
how this will work when baby comes home. If you have a large breed dog and
he's allowed on your bed, the baby (who presumably will be on the bed with
mom for nursing, etc.) is at some risk. Is now the time to wean the dog off
the bed (or, better yet, to learn the limited conditions under which being
on the bed is okay)? I'm not a bif proponent of taking dogs' "rights" away
from them, but this is one circumstance that may merit an exception.
Test the waters with other infants *in public* (and under controlled
conditions); reward gentle behavior with treats and praise. Do yourself and
your dog the favor of being selective, though. If you introduce your dogs to
toddlers whose coordination isn't keen yet, it could quickly tun into a slap
and pull fest in which the dog learns to dislike little people.
The day before the baby comes home, have the dog smell a hat / towel that
was on the baby (bring it home in a plastic ziploc bag). This will prepare
the dog for the baby's actual presence. Repeat the name of the baby over and
over in a soothing way as the dog takes in deep scents.
The big day :
On the big day, have mom walk in without baby (they'll miss her and possibly
be too excited for her to hold the baby safely). Dad comes in a couple
minutes later with the new family member.
The most crucial part : how you react to the mingling. If you behave in a
panicked way and push the dog away from the baby, there's the potential for
the dog making an immediate association that something is very much alive,
very much real, and too good for the dog to be involved with. Instead,
stroke the dog and coo gently with praise as the dog "checks in with" the
baby. Let the dog know that it has a job (i.e. to take care of the baby by
checking in frequently, showing concern and love). Doing otherwise could be
the beginning of big problems. No licking on the face, but the top of the
head and the rest of the body is fine.
The first few days of the newborn's life might seem like the least likely
time for you to take the dog down the street for a walk, but it is
super-important that you erase all possibility that the dog make the
association of the baby's arrival with a degree of compromised attention. It
might not be a long walk, but it *needs* to happen and it needs to be
genuine and intimate (as does your other interaction during the day). These
walks need to be consistent for the first several days. I realize that this
is the least convenient time in the world, but think of it this way : if you
don't pay now, you just might pay later. Trust me, it's worth it. It goes
without saying that this is a daddy job, not a mommy job.
In the long run, what you're looking for isn't unbridled love, exuberance,
and loads of unabated enthusiasm from the dog. This would be an unrealistic
expectation --- not to mention dangerous for the baby. Instead, you are
looking for anything within the spectrum of indifference and concern for the
baby's welfare. (The dog should be given the option of showing no particular
attachment. That can be developed later).
One last word on "quality time". It wasn't until 8 or 9 days after my baby's
birth that I realized an odd thing. Whereas before the birth, I would never
go by one of my dogs without making an intentional step in their direction
and being lovey-dovey with them (even if just for a few seconds), I caught
myself passing them as if they were invisible after the birth. I would step
over them to get where I was going, or just walk around them. As
insignificant as that may seem, I think it triggered a concern on their part
that I was still willing to walk them, be with them, etc., but that my
attention was no longer of a very high quality. Don't let this happen to you
and your dogs! Your dog needs your time, but he's smart enough to know where
your heart really lies. Think back on all the times when your dog has made
you feel more complete, more assured about life, etc. The least you can do
at this stage is to let the dog know that his quality of life will remain
high and constant. And if that isn't enough motivation to do the right
thing, go back and read http://www.hsyc.org/HowCouldYou.htm .
It's all a lot of work, but the harmony and love that your baby and dogs
will share makes the whole process pay for itself quickly.

We are a North Texas Food Truck Specializing in Meatballs and Other Ball Shaped Items! Check out Our Menu, Our Balls are Delicious, and Made with 100% BEEF!
The bus is unique like the concept for OH Balls! We wanted something people would remember and who could forget a school bus?
Our Goal is to "Break the Stigma" of Meatballs, They Aren't Just Served Over Spaghetti Anymore. Give Us a Try, We Can't Wait to Serve You!
Chef Kent is a Fort Worth native currently living on the north side with his beautiful wife Lindsay, daughter Henley, and their Corgi, Sadie. He loves bringing food and people together. He has always felt that God called him to serve, and can't wait to see how He uses the food truck as an avenue to do just that!
I love how versatile meatballs actually are. Its not just "Spaghetti and Meatballs" here at OH Balls!, I want to break the stigma and introduce different flavors to people who wouldn't normally think of them being in a meatball.
That is a tough one, The "TX" is killer, the sauce is made with my favorite whiskey, and I love pairing it with the creamy cauliflower. The "Bleu" is also deceivingly delicious. It is rich and a fun twist on the classic Chicken Cordon Bleu, try it, you wont be disappointed!

Kriegman discusses his documentary Weiner, which he co-directed with Elyse Steinberg, about the mayoral campaign of Anthony Weiner.
Weiner follows politician Anthony Weiner who, after being embroiled in an online sexting scandal resulting in his resignation from congress, attempts to rebuild his reputation while running for Mayor of New York City.
Director Josh Kriegman and Elyse Steinberg followed the Weiner campaign trial from day one, chronicling the many bumps along the journey and the constant media spotlight.
After premiering at Sundance in January, the film received a release in the US courtesy of the festival's distribution label Sundance Selects. The film plays at Sheffield Doc/Fest ahead of its UK release through Dogwoof on July 8.
Screen: How did Weiner first come about?
JK: I was Anthony Weiner's chief of staff for a couple of years when he was in Congress, I got to know him well through that work. I left politics for film-making before his first scandal and resignation from Congress.
It was after that I pitched him the idea of telling his story, we had the conversation over the course of a couple of years to figure out how to do it. It was on the morning he announced he running for mayor of New York City that he finally agreed to let us in.
Why do you think he chose that moment?
That's a key question in the film. I do actually ask him at the end, he says that he hopes the film will be more than just the punchline version of his story. That was also our intention.
Anthony is a very funny guy, he has this incredible energy, we really wanted the film to reflect that. We set off with the perspective that, here is somebody who has been reduced to caricature, ridiculed, I knew him and saw him as a much more complex person.
How did he receive the final film?
As far as I know he hasn't seen the film. We offered to show it to him before it was finished but he said he didn't want to see it, he's not eager to relive it, which is something we can respect. I'm sure he'll see it at some point.
Do you think the film has affected public perceptions of Anthony?
The responses from audiences have been very wide-ranging, which is gratifying.
So many people got to know him through the scandal, the flurry of headlines. Some people feel the film reinforces their preconceptions of him, while others feel the film fundamentally challenges their ideas. Time will tell on the long run what impact it will have on his story.
The media play an intrinsic role in both the rise and fall of Anthony Weiner…
We hope people think the film goes beyond Anthony's campaign story. It's also a film about politics, the media, and what has happened to political conversations.
I think what we see in the film is a really troubling trend away from substance and towards spectacle. Anthony wanted nothing more than to talk about real issues rather than his scandal, but of course he couldn't. We see a similar troubling trend breaking out in the current presidential cycle.
How does the film sit into the current political narrative in the US?
Donald Trump, perhaps better than anybody, knows how to exploit the impulses of modern media in a way that is entertaining but has very little to do with real substance.
Weiner and Trump are at complete opposite ends of the political spectrum but they both recognise a fundamental truth of politics, which is that to have a voice you have to put on a show.
How have you found the switch from the political arena to the film-making arena?
There's an interesting overlap. I've always loved campaigns, there's nothing like the intensity and camaraderie of politics, but the film-making process comes close, it's a very tight team effort. Making this film was a familiar feeling, having been through campaigns with Anthony before.
What's up next?
Me and my co-director Elyse Steinberg have been a directing team for five years now, we're excited to keep working together. We're developing another project but it's early stages. It'll be outside of politics. I love politics but there are a lot of other things I love as well.

iPhone Figurative Self Portraits
The self portraits are made in response to my mental and physical health. Now 58, I was diagnosed with bi polar disorder when I was 40. A MRI also revealed a pituitary abnormality which has wreaked havoc on my body ever since. I now have a neurological condition called essential tremor which causes tremors and effects balance. The essential tremor ended my 17 year's of working as an artist model and it threatened my ability to make photographs. I now utilize an iPhone to make photographs because I can no longer hold a camera steady enough to make a photograph without shaking.
The photographs are intuitive and spontaneous. They dance the fine line between the repulsion and disillusionment I feel toward my body and the beauty I struggle to find in the pictures.
The photographs fall under the tradition of self portraiture and the male nude. In that tradition, I am exploring aspects of masculinity, mental and physical illness, sexuality, and aging.

Fighting a DWI
If you have been arrested for drunk driving, it is best to hire a lawyer experienced in fighting a DWI to minimize or completely get rid of the penalties. Here is what you need to know.
Fighting a DWI | Expungement
As an experienced Buffalo DWI Lawyer, people often ask me whether a DWI conviction can be expunged or sealed. In New York State if you get arrested and convicted of a DWI or a lesser charge of driving while impaired, that cannot be sealed or expunged. The reason being is the prosecutors in law enforcement need to look back on your driving record to see if you have any previous convictions. If you do have previous convictions for an alcohol-related offense, your penalties on a future arrest can be enhanced.
Fighting a DWI | Arrested for a DWI While Sleeping in a Vehicle That Isn't Moving
As an experienced Kenmore DWI Attorney I am frequently asked "If I'm sleeping in my vehicle and the car is not running or moving, can I get arrested for a DWI?" The answer depends on a number of different variables such as were your keys in the ignition? Was the car running? Was your intent to drive the vehicle while you were intoxicated? My office looks into all these facts, investigates all the circumstances, and we will defend you if your car was not moving and your intent was not to drive.
Fighting a DWI | Arraignments
As an experienced Western New York DWI Lawyer I am often asked if one has to show up to their DWI arraignment. I represent many clients who come from Toronto, Ontario, and neighboring states and counties. They frequently ask me, "Do I have to come to court, or can you go to court for me?" When you are charged with a DWI or any criminal offense whether it's traffic related or penile law related, you must make your initial appearance at arraignment in person. Oftentimes I am able to wave your other appearances in court until we have a final resolution of your case.
If you want legal guidance for fighting a DWI, please call our experienced Buffalo DWI lawyer Arthur Pressman today for a free consultation.

DURBAN – The body of a man who was swept off a bridge in the north of KwaZulu-Natal during heavy rains on Sunday has been recovered, a private security and rescue company has said.
The body of the man, whose name is known to African News Agency, was recovered in the Verulam area on Monday night, Reaction Unit South Africa (RUSA) head, Prem Balram, said via a statement.
He was swept off a bridge at Mslasini, Everest Heights, during heavy rains and his body was recovered about one kilometre downstream.
"At approximately 20:47 [on Sunday] Reaction Unit South Africa received a call from a local councillor requesting assistance after he witnessed two men being swept off the bridge during the heavy downpour. One person is suspected to have grabbed onto vegetation and managed to pull himself out of the river while [the deceased] was swept away by the heavy current," said Balram.
He said the South African Police Service (SAPS) search and rescue and Metro Police officers conducted a brief search on Monday but the rescue attempt was called off due to inclement weather and rising river levels. At first light the search commenced, but the heavy current made it difficult for rescuers and specialised police dogs to enter the river.
"This afternoon the RUSA Robinson R44 helicopter took off to assist the community and family of [the deceased] to search for his body. While hovering over vegetation in the water members of the community entered the river and discovered the body trapped amongst the reeds.
"Reaction officers also entered the river and assisted in freeing the body. RUSA officers, with assistance from the public, carried the body with specialised equipment upstream and into an open field. His family, who travelled from Illovo on the South Coast, confirmed his identity."
The man lived alone in Verulam and was employed at a stationery company.

Ontario's finance minister has launched a series of public consultations to develop this year's provincial budget, which he suggests will be delivered earlier than usual because of the upcoming election.
Charles Sousa did not provide an exact date for the budget during a press conference Monday, but said the provincial election — set for June 7 — creates a condensed timeline for the government to deliver the spending plan and ensure legislative watchdogs and Ontario residents can properly examine it.
"I know we're going to be as advanced and open in terms of what we are doing for the benefit of the Auditor General and the (Financial Accountability Officer)," Sousa said. "Now, because of the election … those timelines are constrained, but I want to provide as much information as possible so that everyone can be aware of what is being proposed and what's being done."
The annual pre-budget consultations will take place across the province. The government said that last year, approximately 71,000 took part in the sessions.
Residents' ideas for the budget can also be sent in by mail, email or fax by February 9.
Sousa confirmed last fall that Ontario's 2018 budget will be balanced — as will budgets over the next two years.
The finance minister said he doesn't see the spending package as an "election budget" but a plan for future generations.
"Every budget is long-term in scope," he said. "You have to go beyond the election cycles when you're preparing a budget. I don't see things on a quarter-by-quarter basis. I look at ensuring I have sufficient revenue to accommodate those very year-end activities but at the same time I have to plan for the future."
Sousa was tight-lipped on the specifics of the budget but said it will in part address uncertainty around the on-going re-negotiations of the North American Free Trade Agreement.
"We have uncertainty in the marketplace," he said. "With discussions around NAFTA … we want to provide calm and understanding as to what that means for the province of Ontario as we move forward."
Last year, the provincial government delivered its budget on April 27.

sophisticated modern imaging technologies, neuroscience revealed how
early brain development interact with the environment to foster learning
and further development. It is now known that the human brain is a collection
of about 100 billion neurons. Each neuron is a cell that uses biochemical
reactions to receive, process and transmit information. Neurons have
specialized extensions called dendrites and axons. Dendrites bring information
to the cell body (soma) and axons take information away from the cell
As a child develops,
the synapses become more complex, like a tree with more branches and
limbs growing. During the first 3 years of life, the number of neurons
stays the same and the number of synapses increases as the brain creates
more synapses than it needs.
Parent need to learn to read the physical and emotional cues of the infant. Recognise the individuality of each child and sensitively respond to these differences. They should accept their children's strong emotions as signs of their desire to communicate with the parent and the world. Respond quickly and appropriately to these communications; give meaning to these emotional communications. Parents need to find a balance between being overinvolved and being underinvolved; recognise the child's current developmental status and create opportunities for each child to reach beyond his/her abilities.
The eight intelligences
(all children are intelligent; in their own way!)
Modern IQ tests
were originally developed in France around 1904 by Alfred Binet and
Theophile Simon as a measure of potential for success in school. The
tests originally focused on a narrowly defined set of abilities in school
aged children. Many controversies surrounding IQ tests arise from attaching
meanings or accuracies the tests never had. Even advocates of these
tests admit that these tests are less accurate and more difficult to
perform with small children who may not be motivated to answer IQ test
questions, or may lack some of the verbal skills required.
The eight types of intelligences identified by Gardner are:
Parents role
in nurturing children's multiple intelligences
Parents in the early years are the 'field'. They should recognise their role in discovering their child's patterns of strengths and weaknesses, creating learning environments responsive to these traits, encouraging them to explore this environment, providing the right instructions that match their strengths, and most importantly, recognizing their achievements no matter how small.

Slovakia 17th - 20th July
A long weekend in a rather warm Slovakia-land was hastily arranged after gen came in that loud 749-248 from the Vrutky museum (despite it being an ex Czech loco) would be working a tour from Vrutky to Mlynky covering T172 and part of T173. The tour was pretty empty despite the incredibly cheap price of €16 each way and €5 for the shuttles it was doing on the Saturday. After that I headed to Bratislava via Zvolen hoping for some Grumpy vice Goggle action which I got. Passing me by in the opposite direction (not bitter).

Growing a beard is one of the best feeling. A study claims that 85% of the men surveyed would like to have beard at least once in a lifetime.
So Look:
If you want to grow a beard?
Then Read this article carefully, personal care of your body is very important these days, believe me I have done a decent amount of research to come up with the conclusion that beards can be grown but you need to give it proper care and nutrition.
I have divided the procedure into 5 method!
Method 1 – Take care of your Face
- Skin should be clean
- Use some moisturizer to moist your skin
- If there is any dry or flaky bits. Remove them.
- Live a healthy and stress free life
- Do yoga or some exercise to keep stress away.
Stress is a strict no-no if want a healthy facial hair growth.
Method 2– Use of Vitamin, Supplements & Beard growth oils
- You can add some vitamins (Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12 & Vitamin B1) in your diet they are very helpful in growth of hairs, these vitamins are basically found in eggs, fishes almonds etc.
- You can increase the amount of protein in your diet by increasing the intake of pulses & eggs. Exercise Regularly
- A supplement called Biotin can be added in your daily diet but please consult a doctor first.
- You can also use beard growth oils, they work like a charm.
- Add fruits and green vegetables to your diet
Method 3- Be Patient
- Don't be impatient leave your hair alone
- One of the biggest misconception is that shaving and trimming speed up beard growth.
- When you get a full beard after 4 to 6 weeks then you can groom it properly.
- Quit drinking and smoking if you really wants to grow your beard. My advice!
IF you want to grow your beard genuinely you have to follow these tips grooming routine
Take a shower, use warm/hot water whatever is preferable to you.
Avoid your beard to get wet from this water!
Use cold water to wash your Beard! Use Beard combs that don't break beard hair
Method 4
Use some natural oil and home remedies: I am listing some natural oils and home remedies that can really help to stimulate your facial hair growth
- Coconut and Rosemary Oil: you can use coconut and rosemary oil in 10:1 and put 3-4 drops on your palm and rub it evenly and apply it on your skin underneath the beard that will surely help you to stimulate growth of beard. Do this three times a week for best results.
- Cinnamon and Lemon Juice: If you have oily skin then you can use a mixture of cinnamon and lemon juice. Grind Cinnamon and take one spoon of it with two tea spoon of lemon juice.
- Amla Oil and Mustard Leaves: Make a paste with amla oil and 3-4 mustard leaves together and apply it on your beard skin and after 20 minutes clean it with cold water.
- Eucalyptus Oil with Olive Oil or Sesame Oil: combination of these two i.e. eucalyptus and olive oil or sesame oil is very helpful in beard growth, make paste of these two and apply it gently all over the beard skin. Rinse after 20 minutes with cold water
Method 5 : Other Therapies and treatments
This should be the last option in my opinion as I am pretty sure if you are ready to change your lifestyle a little bit then very less chances are there that you are not able to grow your beard!
Many treatments are there which you can opt to help your rate of growth of beard.
One of the famous treatment is Micro-needling also called collagen Induction therapy (CIT),
This involves a tool called dermaroller which has tiny needles at it's end and which make holes in the top layers of the skin and which is very effective and great way to accelerate beard growth.
One another therapy name red light therapy that also helps to improve density of the beard and give volume to the hair follicles.
These all treatments are medically approved for their effectiveness in stimulation of hair growth.

LETTER: Hypocrites support "no borders"
Border Patrol Agents apprehended 57 Central American migrants on June 22, 2018. They are suspected of crossing the U.S.-Mexico border near Lukeville. The Republic | azcentral.com
Nancy Pelosi is seen repeatedly on TV shedding crocodile tears for illegal immigrant children being "ripped away" from their mothers. When will she shed any tears for the 60 million-plus babies "ripped away" from THEIR mothers compliments of Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood?
The Daily Journal printed an article, "Immigration Detention Centers for Midwest Sought." Here's an easy answer: Locate all the politicians and Hollywood elites who are pushing for open borders and deposit a few of these folks in their backyards. Oh, too hard to scale the high walls they have around their places? Too bad! For starters, there must be a spot in Hollywood, and surely there is plenty of room on Nancy Pelosi's vineyard, to build a nice little guest house for several hundred.
The hypocrisy of "no border" people is unbelievable. It reminds me of the famous people who never go out their front door without armed security while insisting the rest of us are selfish if we want the right "to carry" to protect ourselves. Never fear, if the U.N.'s "Agenda 21" goes fully into effect, these decisions will all be made for us.
Sally J. Gross
Dozens of teachers traveled to the U.S.-Mexico border hoping to deliver supplies and toys to immigrant children in custody. Homeland Security turned them down because they would have to screened and likely discarded. (June 26)

Super-thick-cut bacon is great on this salad; look for slab bacon and ask your butcher to cut it into 1/2-inch-thick slices. You can also use presliced thick-cut bacon cut crosswise into 1-inch-wide strips—just reduce the cooking time.

Pursuing the Compensation Injured Industrial Workers Deserve
Industrial plants can be exceedingly dangerous, especially if they are mismanaged, improperly maintained, or poorly staffed. When working with dangerous chemicals, heavy equipment, and other hazardous materials, safety is of the utmost importance. However, not everyone is as invested in industrial plant safety as they should be.
Failure to observe proper safety rules could ultimately lead to a catastrophic incident, such as a chemical spill, explosion, or electrical failure. In an industrial plant accident, anyone in the nearby vicinity could be at risk of serious harm. Workers, nearby residents, and passersby alike could be injured in any nearby incidents, which is why it is so important to understand your legal options after an accident.

Do you think you have a case? Call us at (713) 999-3681 to discuss your industrial plant incident with our lawyers.
Types of Industrial Plant Incidents
There are industrial plants, refineries, and factories of all types located throughout Texas. These workplaces help maintain our natural resources, build important goods, and contribute to our overall economy. Unfortunately, industrial plants can be exceedingly dangerous for workers and nearby residents alike.
If the plant manager or owner fails to practice OSHA required safety measures, or if the company fails to uphold other legal requirements, the consequences of their negligence could be catastrophically damaging. Industrial plant accidents can be caused by any number of mishaps or negligent acts, such as failure to inspect equipment, lack of safety measures, poor training, understaffed work environment, inadequate worker breaks, the use of hazardous materials, and so on. Unfortunately, when any of these conditions exists, the results could be deadly.
- Common types of industrial plant accidents include:
- Machine malfunctions
- Explosions
- Gas leaks
- Chemical spills
- Fires
- Falls
- Electrocution
If something goes wrong and an industrial plant experiences a serious disaster, each employee and nearby resident could be at risk. Common types of industrial plant injuries include head injuries, spinal injuries, broken bones, lacerations, burns, lung damage, internal damage, poisoning, and worse. As a result, it isn't uncommon for individuals injured in plant accidents face a larger risk of cancer, mesothelioma, or other dangerous diseases.
100+ Years of Experience At Your Disposal
Were you injured in an industrial plant accident? Industrial plant accidents can become catastrophic and deadly and may leave injured individuals and their families with unpaid medical bills, loss of wages, funeral expenses, and several other costly expenses.

Our seasoned firm can work with you to create a strong case and fight for the compensation you need to pay for your injuries.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, flexibility is a key buzzword for a company that has the word 'elastic' in its name. Launched in 2005, Edinburgh-based Elastic Creative has developed into one of the city's most prominent brand and marketing consultancies, using a wide range of communication tools to promote client brands, products and services.
Delivering projects that cover brand and marketing strategy, digital design, digital marketing, video animation interior and exterior branding and print, the company has grown its client base and works with customers in many sectors including technology, health, education, tourism, leisure, property and construction.
Elastic's key selling point throughout has been its nimbleness; its ability to anticipate and respond quickly to clients' constantly changing needs – something which has enabled the company to win and retain new business in a competitive marketplace.
Whilst this has proved to be an extremely successful business model, there have been several tricky challenges to overcome – not least improving an IT infrastructure which at times has hindered, rather than helped, Elastic's quest to remain flexible.
Alex Kirby, managing director of Elastic Creative, said: "Over time we found that our IT systems were getting a bit slower and more unreliable. We were concerned that if we allowed this situation to continue, our client work would be affected so naturally we took action."
To solve the problem, the company called on Opal to install new efficient servers that made it easier to access and transfer data. Opal also created secure virtual offsite and onsite back-up systems to ensure important files were accessible at all times, even in the event of a hardware or software failure.
Mr Kirby said: "We've only been working with Opal for a short time but already we're seeing the benefits. We have greater capacity to store files and the systems are working more efficiently. Their team are extremely responsive and reliable and we're impressed.
"This is important as some of our clients are pursuing a strategy of internationalisation, where they're looking to expand into different markets overseas. To do this they need a marketing agency that can help them promote their goods and services to potential new customers – and an effective communications campaign relies on slick, reliable IT.
"Opal are like us: flexible, helpful and responsive. Now we have the confidence that we can call upon a dedicated IT partner should there be any disruption to our IT systems."

Although all the following modules (in their essence) will represent the tragic fate of our nation (and of other nations), this module is particularly tragic and terrible. The fifth module, located at a distance of ten meters from the last module, represents the wild crimes coming as a lifestyle in the ideological thinking of the demented (who cannot be called people).
A pit, smaller in size (5x5 m) compared with the real ones, will be dug, recalling the hateful crimes of the Soviet authorities, and at one-and-a-half-meter depth, mauled corpses will be sculpturally modeled. At the same time, a panel with photographs displaying the scenes of shooting and exhumating the doomed corpses will be placed at the left edge of the lime pit. The panels will also contain numerous decisions of sentences to shooting by the NKVD troikas. The documentary representations will come as a confirmation for the museum visitors of the horrifying wild instincts of the Stalinist repression bodies.

When, How and Why to Incorporate Artificial Intelligence in Your Company
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been part of our conversations for some time, especially when they're about corporate innovation. It appears that more and more professionals agree that AI will be one of the leading technologies to help organizations on the path to success.
But, what is Artificial Intelligence?
It is a technology that can mimic the human brain's way of processing with the possibilities and improvements that technology can offer. The combination of logical and scientific processes lets Artificial Intelligence autonomously analyze and solve problems, incorporating continuous learning in the process. This is always based on algorithms and paradigms from human nature.
Therefore, its objective, at least from a theoretical perspective, is to facilitate processes and analysis in a way that makes human life more manageable and makes it easier to complete tasks.
AI in the business world
The potential business applications for AI, in spite of how far we have to go from a training perspective, are fantastic. A January 2018 study from Accenture concluded that in the case corporations decide to invest in Artificial Intelligence at the same pace as the more cutting-edge enterprises, by 2022, they could increase earnings 38% and jobs by 10%.
AI can become firms' perfect ally. Besides optimizing processes and fostering growth, it can also, for example, all based on brief data analysis, predict what's the best marketing action for a company, who are the most dissatisfied customers, or who is more likely to subscribe to a particular product. It's a potent tool.
As Huawei Product Marketing Manager Fabio Arena pointed out in an exciting interview with ItUser, that even though implementing AI is not easy (it requires as many technical resources as human ones): "AI can be used in virtually every area of a company" with the need resources and the right decisions.
In three concrete examples, we can see the benefits and opportunities AI can provide:
- In customer service: Chatbots are changing the way they manage inquiries and complaints, saving thousands of hours.
- In finance: Using deep learning, AI helps to recognize potential investment risks that some clients can represent for a firm, detecting and alerting them to potential outstanding payments.
- In marketing: The use of predictive algorithms can learn from mistakes and predict consumption trends. Not only that, digital data aggregation systems' analytical capabilities are entering a new era, and a perfect example of that is the arrival of Salesforce Einstein Analytics. Speed is the crucial new concept.
Tips for starting to integrate AI in a firm
As we said, integrating AI into business processes is not that simple: you need technology, human resources, and a lot of knowledge. Nonetheless, you can get there little by little. Here are some tips:
Learn about AI and accept it as a development
One of the first questions that you need to tackle is that Artificial Intelligence, just like other innovations, does not offer an immediate return. It requires time and development, as well as training employees to take advantage of it. Mentalizing it in the managerial rungs of organizations is critical for applying AI.
AI is a tool, not an employee
For it to grow and to offer better solutions, it's critical that it feeds off of data and information. The more information, the better. Coordinating the AI implementation strategy is fundamental, and the human resources need to be in charge of making others see what direction the technology should follow and let it feed off the tools required to do so. It is also imperative that this is all aligned with the firm's KPIs ensure that it achieves a well-defined set of objectives.
Artificial Intelligence will not eliminate human labor
It may be inevitable that this technology will replace specific jobs, it's also true that new jobs will emerge from it. It is a new tool like any other, and its execution and application will create new opportunities for those who appropriately train themselves to be leaders in coordinating and developing it.
Learn from other success stories
Many companies get vertigo from looking at what their peers are doing. You don't have to be afraid of others' success. Instead look at it as a stepping stone to support our learning and growth. If other corporations, despite being competitors, have implemented AI, it should not be so complicated to look at what they've done and replicate what they have done right while avoiding their mistakes.
It is clear that that the next step in analyzing and understanding our surroundings, and reality, is that computers and machines do it. This development also results in a new paradigm for companies. Artificial Intelligence, as you can appreciate, leaves an infinite amount of questions. Nonetheless, one soars above the rest: opportunities. The only thing left to find out is if AI's rival leads to the dawn of a new era or, in a subtly different way, at the end of another.

A NUMBER of Bulawayo companies have not been allocated foreign currency for raw material imports since last year from their banks, as priority is being given to Harare-based companies, an industry official has claimed.
Zimbabwe National Chamber of Commerce Matabeleland chapter chairman, Golden Muoni told NewsDay in an interview last week that companies outside Harare were being short-changed by financial institutions.
"As we are in this environment, where there are a lot of shortages of foreign currency, there is need for us to engage the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) as business, periodically, from the national point of view to say: 'Look, we have companies here that are on the waiting list we don't know when we are going to get the priority', because we have got different priorities in every sector," he said.
Muoni said the issue of priority was affecting companies outside Harare because they do not have fair representation.
"So, when people sit together in a boardroom as a committee and then decide that this one is not a priority, this one is a priority. It's difficult. Now, from the regional point of view, we are mostly affected because all our banks' head offices are in Harare," he said.
"Decisions are made in Harare. We don't know how our representation there is. Is there any fairness in terms of distribution of whatever foreign currency is there? Are we not being robbed as people because of all our banks here, we give them instructions? Instructions go to the head office. Their head office then goes to RBZ with our representations."
Muoni said there was a lot of red tape and opaqueness in foreign currency allocation.
"You submit (your application) to your branch, your branch takes it to their head office. There is a lot of red tape, which needs to be understood to say how best we can be helped because I have had quite a number of engagements here with companies," he said. "They are complaining. Some are saying it's almost one year now and they still haven't received any cent, some six months no payment, no nothing from their banks and can we justify that? We are saying how best can we equally benefit like the Harare companies?"
According to the Confederation of Zimbabwe Industry 2017 survey, Matabeleland and Mashonaland were the hardest hit regions to manufacturers in accessing financing, describing the process as being "financial crises".
Waiting periods for foreign currency ranges, on average, from less than two weeks to over three months from banks, with most manufacturers complaining of the latter.

The eastern entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park sits on the western edge of Estes Park, Colorado. A 30-mile drive from Fort Collins, the park offers over 355 miles of hiking trails ranging from 7500 to 12000 feet above sea level, spread out over the park's 415 square miles.
Colorado has no shortage of National Forest, State Forest and other public land hiking available, but several self-identified hikers identified Rocky Mountain National Park as their favorite location.
Dave Schutz, 31, started hiking in Colorado 25 years ago with his parents. "I grew up around Estes so I'm partial to hiking in Rocky and so that's what I'm most familiar with and where I've done the most hiking," Schutz said. "I'd have to say I'm probably most fond of the Loch Vale hike, the destination is amazing and has its own trailhead area."
Schutz explained he primarily only takes day hikes in the park and prefers to do any overnight trips in National Forest or somewhere else. "I prefer not to do that sort of stuff in the park, camping has to be in designated areas so if I'm camping I'd rather hike in national forest," Schutz said.
Entrance to the Park typically costs a fee ranging from ten dollars for a single pedestrian to $20 for a single automobile. In both cases, the fee covers entrance for the next seven days.
Other fees to be aware of include a $20 Backcountry Camping Permit and $20 a day for any of the five drive-in campgrounds. Be sure to make a reservation well ahead of your trip to prevent sleeping in your car.
Multiple season sasses are available for the park and range in price from ten dollars for seniors to $80 for a combined National Park and Federal Recreation Lands pass. Consult www.nps.gov for a breakdown of available passes and fees.
Kelsey Romshek, 25, has hiked Rocky Mountain National Park since he was a child. "Primarily I like the Bowen Baker Gulch hike the best," Romshek said. "It's easy to hit those two mountains within a day. I enjoy hiking into the thick forestry that breaks you out above tree line."
Romshek explained the allure of Rocky Mountain National Park includes the close proximity to wildlife. "There's a ton of wildlife and huge herds of elk," he said. "Gotta love the sound of bull's bugling to each other from across the valley as you begin a hike."
While Romshek has hiked other areas of Colorado, including Dinosaur National Monument, he still prefers Rocky Mountain National Park. "I'm more partial to the forested areas more so than the desert areas," Romshek said. "And I'm not a fan of areas with snakes."
Laura Sanchez, 22, is an employee of Rocky Mountain National Park and offered some suggestions to avoid difficulties during a hike. "Bring proper gear for all occasions," Sanchez said. "Be prepared, stay on the trail, bring and drink plenty of water."
Sanchez knows first-hand how difficult hiking can get if not properly planned. "We started hiking the eight mile trip to Long's Peak just after midnight on a day I had spent 12 hours at Elitch's and a water park," Sanchez said. "Since I have no background I was not prepared and it was like my own personal hell."
Sanchez terminated her attempt to summit Long's Peak seven miles into her eight mile hike that day. A decision many inexperienced hikers are unwilling to make. Several times a year, inexperienced hikers require evacuation from trails around Colorado sometimes requiring dispatch of search-and-rescue teams.
Rocky Mountain Rescue Group averaged 73 calls a year solely for hikers from 2004-2008.
Hiking the mountains of Colorado provides a great opportunity for those willing to plan appropriately. Spend the time before you go researching fees and appropriate equipment for the hike you'd like to experience to avoid any ugly surprises.

Figure 1: High yield and reproducible protein extraction from small tissue samples
Total protein was extracted in 270 µl Buffer B from ~15 mg of mouse heart muscle using either the t-PREP or a Dounce homogenizer. Mean protein yield from the 4 t-PREP samples is 181 +/- 3 µg protein/ mg tissue (CV = 1.7%) compared to 68 +/- 9 ug protein / mg tissue with the Dounce homogenized tissue.
Figure 2: Improved protein extraction and sample complexity
Improved protein recovery and sample complexity from murine liver tissue processed in the t-PREP with AFA versus Dounce homogenizer. Representative Coomassie stained 2DGE; enlarged area highlights 4 proteins present in the t-PREP processed samples significantly higher levels compared to Dounce processed samples (e.g., circled spots).
Figure 3: Improved preservation of phosphorylated proteins
Improved preservation of phosphorylated proteins in mouse brain tissue processed in the t-PREP with AFA versus Dounce homogenizer. Representative ProQ Diamond (phosphorylated proteins) and SYPRO Ruby (Total Proteins) stained 2DGE. The t-PREP processed samples demonstrate a higher level of phosphorylated proteins overall; 5 specific spots are indicated where staining is significantly higher in the phosphorylated protein stain, while the total protein stain from the t-PREP is still comparable with the Dounce processed samples.

The South Wales Police and Crime Commissioner is required by law to protect the public funds he administers. The Commissioner and South Wales Police may share information with other bodies responsible for auditing or administering public funds, in order to prevent and detect fraud.
The Auditor General for Wales (the Auditor General) audits the accounts of the Commissioner and the Chief Constable. The Auditor General is also responsible for carrying out data matching exercises. Data matching involves comparing computer records held by one body against other computer records held by the same or another body to see how far they match. This is usually personal information but may also be non- personal such as details of payments to suppliers. Personal data will only be kept for as long as we need to provide services or fulfil our obligations, and to comply with any legal requirements for keeping certain types of data.
Computerised data matching allows potentially fraudulent claims and payments to be identified. Where a match is found it may indicate that there is an inconsistency which requires further investigation. No assumption can be made as to whether there is fraud, error or other explanation until an investigation is carried out.
The Auditor General currently requires the Commissioner and South Wales Police to participate in a data matching exercise to assist in the prevention and detection of fraud. The Commissioner and South Wales Police are required to provide sets of data relating to payroll, pensions and trade creditors to the Auditor General; details of these are set out in the Audit Commission's guidance and can be found at: http://www.audit.wales/sites/default/files/seminar_documents/nfi_data_specification_2018_5.pdf

How to Apply for Funding
Why we are advancing solar in Australia
ARENA completed a year-long consultation project in December 2016 which focussed on assessing the Australian and global solar research, development and demonstration.
This project included working with an expert reference group, holding workshops, commissioning an in-depth report and – in parallel – conducting reviews of our major solar R&D investments in the Australian Centre for Advanced Photovoltaics (ACAP) and the Australian Solar Thermal Research Institute (ASTRI).
Consultation workshops
Stakeholders were invited to participate in a workshop on 16 November 2016 where ARENA tested out directions for solar RD&D investment by the agency. Participants on the day included representatives from research and technology organisations such as (ANU, UQ, UNSW, UoA, RMIT, CSIRO, Solinno, Epho, First Solar and Photon Energy). We appreciate the engagement on the day and in follow up discussions of all stakeholders.

I've switched to a different tariff with the same supplier - why hasn't my direct debit changed?
When you change tariff with the same supplier, the monthly costs shown on Cheap Energy Club are the amounts you'd be paying on the new tariff if your usage doesn't change. However, most suppliers don't automatically update your direct debit when you change tariff. While you're charged at the new rates of the new tariff, your direct debit won't normally be updated until your next direct debit review (normally every six months).
This may mean that you build up credit in your account. But if you don't want to wait, many providers allow you to tweak this online or over the phone.
For more information, see our Cut Energy Direct Debits guide.

The Navy men's soccer team earned its first victory of the 2018 season on Wednesday night with a 4-0 win over Howard at the Glenn Warner Soccer Facility.
The Midshipmen (1-3-1) had four different goal scorers in the match -- three who scored for the first time in the collegiate careers -- to fuel the victory, while Ian Bramblett recorded his first-career clean sheet against the Bison (1-2-0).
Navy's four goals in the match were the most goals it scored in a contest since Oct. 31, 2015, when the Mids scored four times in a 4-0 victory on the road against Lafayette. The last time Navy scored at least four times in a home tilt was exactly four years ago in a 5-0 win over Appalachian State on Sept. 5, 2014.
"We took our chances early and we were able to capitalize," head coach Tim O'Donohue said after the contest. "Howard is a very good team. They are very athletic and very organized. I am really happy to see some of our guys that have been playing well finally finish. I happy that our guys have a good feeling tonight following this result and we think we are really close. I think we played well tonight."
Early on the in the action, Navy took advantage of its first scoring chance with Collin Armstrong notching his first collegiate goal just 2:23 into the match. Armstrong -- who tallied an assist in his last outing against College of Charleston -- took advantage of his first career start with the early goal.
Off of a throw-in, Bayne Bentley played the ball down, where and an open Armstrong controlled the loose ball and scored to put the Mids ahead, 1-0.
Less than 20 minutes later, Diego Manrique scored his first collegiate goal to give Navy a 2-0 advantage. Just two minutes after coming into the match, Phillip Gustafson slipped a nice pass through two defenders and Manrique picked up the ball at the top of the penalty area. After a pair of touches, Manrique slid the ball under the diving Bison goalkeeper, Carlos Caro, and into the back of the net to double Navy's lead.
The Midshipmen continued to threaten offensively but maintained a 2-0 lead at the half. During the first 45 minutes of action, the Bison held a 7-6 edge in shots, but Navy had three shots on goal compared to two from Howard.
At the start of the second half, the Bison started to control possession and tried to cut into their deficit, but Howard's offensive pressure fizzled out with just one shot -- which was blocked -- and three-straight corner kicks all within a minute and a half. Throughout the second half, the Bison racked up seven corner kicks.
Navy started to get its offensive flow going once again with a shot from Wyatt Millard that skipped off the top of the crossbar in the 62nd minute.
In the 76th minute, Bentley scored for the first time in his career to put the Midshipmen on top by three. Ethan Singer sprinted down the left wing to the end line and played a low cross into the box, where Bentley stood at the six-yard box unmarked. After retrieving the pass, Bentley made one move and then beat Caro to the far post to make it a 3-0 contest.
After missing on scoring chance earlier in the second half, Millard cashed in on a shot for his first goal of the season. In the 85th minute, Millard dribbled in from the left wing and let a shot rip for the top of the penalty arch and sent it past Caro to the near post.
Bramblett recorded a pair of saves in the first half to secure the shutout and the 4-0 victory for Navy. This is the Mids first shutout since the Army-Navy Cup last season at Talen Energy Stadium, where Army and Navy played to a 0-0 draw.
For the third-straight match, the Midshipmen outshot the opposition, 11-8, but Howard recorded seven corner kicks -- all coming in the second half. Navy was held without a corner kick for the first time since Sept. 30 last year on the road against Loyola.
The Midshipmen wrap up their four-match homestand on Saturday morning at 11 a.m. against UMBC at the Glenn Warner Soccer Facility.

George Washington Carver was an American botanist back in the 1900s who became famous for discovering 300 uses for the lowly peanut. Most people wouldn't have been willing to devote their lives to a mere peanut. But the story goes that Carver once asked the Lord,
"Lord, what is the universe?" The Lord said, "George, that's too big for your little head. Suppose you let me take care of the universe." Greatly humbled, the scientist asked, "Then, Lord, if the universe is too big for me to understand, please tell me, what is a peanut?" And then the Lord answered, "Now George, you've got something your own size. A peanut can understand a peanut; go to work on the peanut while I run the universe."[1]
Carver discovered that if farmers would grow peanuts on the soil that had been depleted of nutrients by years and years of growing cotton, indispensable nitrogen would be put back into the soil. Then, he went to work to find uses for the crop in order to make the growing of peanuts financially practical. From peanuts Carver made cheese, milk, butter, flour, ink, dyes, soap, stains, and many other substances.
The problems of the universe are far too big a project for us to solve. But we can go to work on whatever opportunity the Lord has put in our path. He doesn't ask us to do what we cannot do. The talents, abilities and aptitudes God has given us are a trust to be used for Him. He doesn't expect perfection, but He wants us to be faithful in using what He has given us. The Bible says, "Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful" (1 Corinthians 4:2).
Maybe He has given you motivational skills. Or artistic ability. Or computer skills. Maybe the trust God has given you is the family you are raising. Whatever it is, know that you can fulfill the purpose for which God created you.

Viet Nam aspires to an inclusive social protection system relevant to its lower middle-income status and to better realize basic human rights. However, the current social protection system is fragmented, with limited coverage and an inadequate range of benefits neither progressive nor child sensitive. As a result, the system is unable to address the multiple disadvantages, risks and vulnerabilities affecting children's well-being.
Just 10 per cent of children can access social transfers, yet they are more affected by poverty than any other age group - accounting for 36.7 per cent of Viet Nam's poor. There is a lack of basic cash support for children to address age-specific risks such as malnutrition, while eight-in-10 ethnic minority children are deprived from access to social services.

Over a quarter (26%) of Moneywise.co.uk users don't know how their pension is invested, the results of our latest poll reveal.
This worrying figure is broken down into 11% with a workplace defined contribution pension, 8% with a workplace defined benefit (final salary) pension – who said they don't know the scheme's strategy or governance – and 7% with a personal pension.
An additional 5% of people who voted said they don't even know what type of pension they have to begin with.
However, at the other end of the scale, six in 10 (60%) of those who voted said they do have a pension and they do know how it is invested.
This figure is made up of 26% with a personal pension, 20% with a workplace defined contribution pension, and 14% with a defined benefit pension.
Checking the funds or strategy for your pension is important, as simply leaving it in the default fund could see you missing out on higher returns. The problem with 'one-size fits all' default funds is they will typically invest just 65% of their assets in shares. Yet the funds selected by those confident to make their own investment choices are likely to invest more heavily in the stock market. This increases risk, but if you have a time horizon of at least five years to save it's likely to be more fruitful.
According to research carried out by investment platform, Hargreaves Lansdown, savers with a workplace pension have boosted their pot by 4.89% over the past five years, simply by ditching the default fund in favour of selecting their own.
See the pie chart below for the full poll results.
