Variety reported that Focus Features, jumping into a horror-crowded fall, has assigned an October 29 release date to SEED OF CHUCKY, the latest in the CHILD?S PLAY film series. Don Mancini, who has scripted all of the killer doll?s exploits, begins directing the latest entry this month in Romania from his own script, with Brad Dourif returning in the title role, Jennifer Tilly back as his lady love Tiffany, John Waters in a cameo as an ill-fated paparazzo and a cameo by FANGORIA magazine!
In addition Moviehole writes, 'Cristi Nicelescu has signed on to be the production designer on Seed of Chucky. Nicelescu is currently in L.A for prep. It's his first time in the Country. His previous credits include 'Dracula 3 - Legacy' and 'Method', starring Liz Hurley, which is currently in post. Also recently joining the production is Mark Allen, a whiz at animatronics. It's believed Allen might also be involved in a follow-up to 'Seed'. 'Seed of Chucky' is about the androgynous son of Chucky and Tiffany goes to Los Angeles looking for his parents who live in Jennifer Tilly's house. They use Tilly as a surrogate for Chucky's seed.

Curbing Disturbing Behavior
Unruly, misbehaving dogs can drive everyone around them crazy, but manufacturers have developed innovative, effective products to end the madness and restore calm.
As cute as they may be at first, children who are allowed to run amok—yelling, pushing, breaking things and generally misbehaving—quickly become annoying. The same holds true when it comes to our four-footed "kids." Fortunately, the pet product market offers a wide range of tools to help pet parents who are struggling with ill-behaved animals, and retailers can serve as powerful resources for customers in need of guidance.
Troubling pet behaviors, such as biting or other forms of aggression, incessant barking, or destroying things, can make pet ownership a nightmare—and an experience from which many pet owners will eventually walk away. In fact, Vladae Roytapel, professional trainer and vice president of marketing for Canine Innovations, Inc., says shelters are overwhelmed with dogs whose owners have surrendered them because of behavior problems. Headquartered in Mount Clemens, Mich., Canine Innovation manufactures the Pet Convincer line of products designed to control and change the behavior of dogs, cats and birds.
Pete Fischer, a consultant with Torrance, Calif.-based Dogtra Company, says the steady influx of dogs into shelters is driven largely by plentiful numbers of ill-informed and ill-equipped pet owners. "Dogs have become throw-away items," says Fischer, whose company produces a complete line of training e-collars ranging from small-breed pet, to a variety of sporting-dog units, as well as police/K9 work. "Many owners don't have the time, tools or knowledge to train the dog to be a positive family member. When this happens, all too often they opt to get rid of the dog."
Looking for Trouble
Some of the most common canine behavioral issues owners seek relief from include problems with potty training/housebreaking, excessive barking, leash pulling and destructive chewing, says Michael Tribble, category manager, training and bark control for PetSafe. Located in Knoxville, Tenn., the company offers a variety of behavior/training products, along with toys, treats, food/water systems and more.
Roytapel notes the number-one reason people come to him is canine aggression. Separation anxiety is another big one. "I routinely deal with dogs that jump from a balcony or window because of separation anxiety," he says. "I had one dog that chewed through a crate because of this. There were teeth and blood all over."
A mistake many dog owners make is waiting until the unwanted behavior gets to the point where it becomes dangerous, difficult to change or potentially costly, as in the case of a dog bite. Roytapel is a proponent of taking a proactive approach, particularly through obedience training. Such training offers distinct advantages, he explains. It positions the owner as boss and establishes the language used to communicate with the dog. Most importantly, it gives the dog a job to do.
"In America, dogs are jobless," he says. "And if you don't provide them with jobs, they look for jobs to do and what this usually means is that they break the owner's rules and make them crazy."
Lack of mental stimulation can lead to a whole host of boredom-related problems and unwanted behaviors, such as chewing or barking, says Jeanette Holliday, marketing executive, U.S. Division for The Company of Animals, LLC. The company, whose U.S. headquarters are in Bridgeport, Conn., offers training and agility products as well as interactive feeders and games, primarily for dogs.
Strong Demand
With growing numbers of customers looking to address troublesome behaviors, the demand for dog training and interactive toys is steady, even growing. "People are constantly bringing new animals into their homes," Holliday says. "So there's always a need for the products we supply."
Fischer adds that owners are becoming more aware of the benefits that come with a well-trained dog. As a result, e-collar manufacturers are seeing demand for their products in the pet-training world explode. In response, they're developing more user-friendly products for the dog market, such as smaller sizes and a wider variety of stimulation options.
Busy lives and downsized living have also propelled sales of solutions designed to address unwanted behaviors. With people and pets crammed into tighter spaces, the need for everyone to get along is even greater. At the same time, there's less and less time to train against problem behaviors or correct them, says Tobi Skovron, CEO of Pet Loo. The company, with headquarters in Los Angeles and in Melbourne, Australia, makes a variety of products that address pet elimination/waste management needs, including cat litter and poop bags.
One such product, the Pet Loo, described as a "backyard in a box," has experienced strong growth. This activity has been fueled by apartment/condo dwellers, those who have to be at work all day and owners concerned about letting their pets eliminate outside because of predators or other issues. Also driving demand is frustration many owners experience over housetraining their dogs, says Skovron. Too many accidents around the house have caused owners to give up their pets unnecessarily he adds.
Making the Sale
When the Pet Loo first launched nine years ago, it was a difficult sell, says Skovron. "But now, we're in 84 countries," he says. "In 2011, our sales grew by 48 percent; in 2012, they rose by 83 percent over 2011."
Skovron says the product sells best when retailers use the Pet Loo display that company offers to retailers for free. He adds that retailers who didn't use the display in 2011, but did in 2012, experienced a 48-percent growth in sales.
"The display stand is a silent salesman," Skovron says. "But even so, the product is very simple; there's not much education required."
However, many customers do not even know that behavior training/modification products even exist, says Tribble. Even non-pet owners are aware of food, chews, toys and leashes. But some of the most experienced pet owners are in the dark when it comes to going beyond these most basic needs, he says.
"Of the millions of dog-owning households, approximately 60 percent don't know that their local pet store carries training solutions, and 50 percent don't know they carry barking solutions," Tribble says. "The challenge for retailers is to make consumers aware that major problems can be fixed in a quick and humane fashion."
A good strategy is placing signage or other displays near everyday products like food, toys and treats, says Tribble. Strategically placed register/counter or aisle signage—"Want the perfect walking partner?" or "Too much barking? Ask an associate how to calm your canine."—may also spark interest and start a customer/associate dialogue. He also advises retailers not to skimp on employee product education.
Product demonstrations are always an effective sales tactic, as is running a video near the actual items, says Holliday. She also suggests that staff try the product. "Personal experience from the retailers themselves will help sell any product on their shelves," Holliday says.
Most importantly, talk with your customers, says Tribble. "As a retailer, you can help them by asking about what they're hoping to accomplish, which can allow you to steer them in the right direction, creating more loyal, long-term customers."

Childhood lost,
an amazing poetry
Childhood Lost
Countless days and nights,
Spent scrubbing the dirty floor,
Or serving steaming tea,
All for a rupee and no more.
Young hands that grew hard,
Long before their destined time,
Through years of hard labour,
Spent in squalor and in grime.
Their dreams fell dead,
As clay pots shattered,
Their hopes had withered away,
No one had thought they'd mattered.
Hollow, empty faces,
Eyes with sorrow washed,
Calloused hands at an early age-
Signs of a childhood lost.

The Dixie Belle Diaries
I'm sure by now y'all are all thinking OMG why can't this girl just make up her dang mind and stop changing her effing blog name?!?
I'm right there with you. Trust me. The last six months have been a bit of a roller coaster. I've thrown myself headfirst into this blogging universe, and everything just happened so fast that I didn't ever have a chance to sit down and think about what I wanted this blog to be. You've caught me– I've been winging it the entire time. For those of you that have stuck around and actually enjoy reading about the random things I decide to write about– let me just say thank y'all SO. MUCH. The feedback I have gotten from y'all has been my driving force.
That being said, I have gone through so many name changes as I've come to discover what my so-called niche is. Let's see, so I started with Secret Life of the Stay at Home Wife. Catchy, but too long for a good hashtag (#firstworldproblems). Then there was The Dixie Belle Mommy. Better, but I'm more than just a mommy. I like fashion and wine and food and travel… so I needed to find a more suitable lifestyle blogger name. The Dixie Belle Blog. I liked it, but it never felt right. Plus, I hate the word "blog." Don't ask me why. I just don't like it.
So I was driving out to the river on a gorgeous sunny morning– listening to Zac Brown Band, of all things, and daydreaming about what hashtags I was going to use for my next outfit of the day post (you know you're a blogger when you think in terms of hashtags). And somewhere between #stylishmomsociety and #stylediaries, it just hit me.
THE DIXIE BELLE DIARIES. I mean, that's essentially what this is, right? It's like a journal I'm writing about whatever I'm thinking about. The only thing that's different from a childhood diary is that I don't care if people read this. In fact, I want people to read it. I want people to read it if they're bored. If they're uninspired. If they feel alone. If they need entertainment. If they want to know the proper way to dress a southern child. If they just want to make fun of me for being a materialistic millennial. If they want to commiserate over the series of unfortunate events that was 2016. Or if they just like reading about other people's lives. I know I enjoy doing that, so I can't be the only one. Or maybe I am, and that's okay too. If being nosey is wrong, then I don't want to be right.
So yeah. That's why I changed my blog name. Again. I think that this is the last time. But I'm not making any promises. Love you mean it.

Most of the suspects in the sex attacks that allegedly took place in Cologne on New Year's Eve may never be caught, the city's police chief, Juergen Mathies, said.The poor quality of CCTV camera footage will prevent the identification of sex offenders, Mathies said, according to the BBC. Now I've seen the CCTV cameras on CNN when the Paris attacks happened. What I can tell you is that CCTV cameras are of good quality HD. Where I'm getting at is more then likely this police chief was told my Merkel to not do anything. He himself could be a migrant supporter also. The globalist who wanna take town the western way of life put their buddies in high ranking positions, the police chief position just happens to be the highest position of power in the police field. That's why I fear this guy is nothing more then Merkel's sock puppet in Cologne, Germany. For your every day police officer would never give up an investigation.

The First Time 275 Recipes And Guidelines Primarily based On The Most current Nutritional Discoveries. If you're really pressed for time and want to make enough juice to final three to four days, you can make a large batch and store it in an air-tight container in the refrigerator – not as good as drinking proper right after pressing, but nevertheless most likely much better than drinking shop-purchased fruit juices or even vegetable cocktails like V8.
In truth, most of the merchandise didn't even make sense, and there was no scientific evidence to back it up. All I could find was sales pages that produced me want to close my computer and give up. Then one day I ran across an post about study carried out by Duke University located that fruits, vegetables, dairy merchandise, and non-carbonated drinks like juice and water make cigarettes taste poor even though foods higher in fat, coffee, meat, and alcohol make them taste greater.
The inverse association in between fruit and vegetable juices and Alzheimer's illness appeared in all strata of education, smoking status, tea drinking, normal physical activity, ApoE genotype, and total fat intake ( Table 3 ). Nonetheless, the association tended to be stronger among these who were former or present smokers, drank tea significantly less typically, were optimistic for the ApoE ε-four allele, and have been much less physically active.
Vegetable juices have been well-liked in Northern Europe for several years, but it has only been lately that they have caught on and become increasingly popular in the UK. On the complete they are surprisingly sweet, tasty and refreshing and are definitely set to turn into a genuinely common selection as attitudes gradually modify.
My grma gave me some canned grape juice-i am not confident how she produced it but there were about 15 grapes in the bottom of each and every qt jar & i believe she added sugar to it. to can the pears in the very light syrup i used approx 2 1/2 C. sugar for 11cups water- so i would think it would be less than the syrup to make the juice.

What is Ladder?
The Ladder campaign is an initiative which encourages businesses of all sizes in the region to work together and help give young people the opportunity to prosper in their organisations. It has been a great success in the Black Country and working together with Mercian Trust to support the new Ladder School is the next natural progression on the journey to ensure our young people have the best possible skills, experience and future employment opportunities.
Ladder for the Black Country will support the new school during the opening phase and once open by:
- contributing to the curriculum development
- securing placements and work experience opportunities for learners
- developing the knowledge and awareness of apprenticeships within the school
- supporting staff through the provision of high quality CPD
To find out more about Ladder for the Black Country you can find us online at www.ladderfortheblackcountry.co.ukView Governanace Plan(PDF)
We are a family
Staff appointed to The Ladder School will be experts in their relevant field, but they will have a passion for supporting students that are dis-engaged with education, as this is key to unlocking student's potential.
It is expected that all students will 'have a go' and the phrase 'I can't' is banned. We will work on an ethos where everyone is encouraged to do their best, so they can succeed. Students will be used to the phrase 'be the best you can be' as this is clearly closely linked to our school ethos and approaches to learning.
Students will have access to free toast and fruit at break time which students will organise on a rota basis and serve one another. Students may wish to bring a sensible snack to eat a breaktime. Students will have access to our 'family dining' where all meals are served together with staff at lunchtime.
Water fountains are available for students to fill a sealable water bottle during the school day. Students should fill their water at break or lunch.
The Ladder School will be different from all other schools as it will operate an open-door policy, where any member of staff, parents or visitors will be able to walk into any classroom at any time and see a positive learning environment, where most importantly students are engaged, and they are succeeding.
The Ladder School has an open and honest relationship with parents and this is outlined to parents working with The Ladder School prior to their child joining.
"Our family approach to school means we ensure that there is respect, everyone is cared for and we work collectively as one. Sometimes families fall out, but there is a bond that ties us together through the difficult times, so we can grow and become stronger."

The trip is starting to take shape. My flight to Bangkok is booked for 11th September and I couldn't be more excited. The girls finish university this week so we can start planning properly, although, I think we will plan as we go along, to an extent.
So - the plan so far - fly into Bangkok with Luka, spend the day there. Vicky and Nadia get in the early hours of the following morning. From there, we will be moving onto Phuket; relaxation fortnight, yes! We will then do the islands, Koh Phangan being a must as we will be able to make the Sept 19th Full Moon Party. I'm getting excited just thinking about all of this. From the islands, which will be solely for relaxation...hmm...we will go on to Cambodia and Vietnam. From Vietnam, we'll be flying over the Philippines. Then on to Indonesia; I've been dying to go to Bali for as long as I can remember so I'm particularly excited about that.
Unfortunately, Indonesia is where Luka will be leaving us! 8 weeks is just not long enough, don't leave us!
From Indonesia, Vicky, Nadia and I will be moving on to Perth. Before I jumped on Vicky and Nadia's travelling bandwagon, I'd never really thought that much about Australia. It always looks beautiful and exciting, but there have always been other places I've wanted to go more. However, being so close to Oz has made me think I should definitely go. One of my best friends from school is currently teaching in Perth, I have family in Melbourne and one of the girls I shared a house with at Uni will be over there travelling too. So now, 8-10 weeks travelling has turned into 4 or 5 months, woah! But it means Christmas and New Year over there, and I'll get to see the Sydney Harbour Bridge fireworks first hand. Oh my godddd! I can hold a Koala, see the Opera House, go to the Great Barrier Reef..and most importantly, see the set of Neighbours, oh hey Harold Bishop!
I've ordered my Rough Guide to South East Asia book and am going to start reading up this week. I've even started doing my TEFL course. Anything to prolong the trip!
I'll keep you posted!

It's time for our weekly roundup of brand new and notable apps for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad devices.
It covers apps and games, with the prices referring to the initial download: so (Free) may mean (Freemium) in some cases. There's a separate roundup for Android apps, which was published earlier in the day.
For now, read on for this week's iOS selection (and when you've finished, check out previous Best iPhone and iPad apps posts).
The Wagner Files HD (£3.99)
No, not the former X Factor contestant – although turning his life into a digital graphic novel would be quite something. This app focuses on composer Richard Wagner, with the main comic-strip story augmented by animation, videos and photos. Oh, and music of course: operas from the 1920s and 1930s plus a visualisation of the overture from The Flying Dutchman.
Grazia UK Magazine (Free)
Weekly magazine Grazia launched its "shoppable" iPad app a while back, offering digital issues with the added feature of being able to buy products straight from the pages. Now it's squeezed the app down for iPhone too, providing Grazia readers with a smaller-screened fix of fashion, features and shopping.
Early reviews for 2K Sports' latest basketball game are mixed, it's fair to say. The game certainly looks good, with fluid on-court action and a host of licensed players and teams (including LeBron James, who's the face of the game). For first-time players it's well worth a look, but people who bought NBA 2K13 may prefer to stick with the existing version.
iPhone / iPad
Marvel Puzzle Quest: Dark Reign (Free)
Puzzle Quest was one of the first games to make a success out of blending match-three puzzling with RPG-style battles. Now it has a new partner, Marvel, meaning it's ditched the monsters in favour of super heroes and villains. You're still matching gems to help your heroes fight their way out of trouble.
iPhone / iPad
Goodnight Mo (£1.99)
This children's app comes from developer StoryToys, best known for its pop-up fairytale book-apps. This has a different theme: bedtime. It's a story about a monster named Mo preparing for bed, with eight pop-up scenes taking kids through a pre-bedtime routine that (maybe, just maybe) will send them sleepwards in the real world.
iPhone / iPad
The Cave (£2.99)
The Cave comes with impressive credentials: published by Sega, it's the latest game from Ron Gilbert, of Monkey Island fame. This is a brand new adventure, with multiple characters – you choose three out of seven available – as you explore the titular cave. The twist is that the characters can work together to solve puzzles, making for an absorbing game.
iPhone / iPad
Great Britain & Ireland - The Michelin guide 2014 (£5.99)
The restaurant world is buzzing about who has and hasn't got Michelin stars this year, but this app is aimed at diners rather than chefs: it's a guide to all the restaurants and hotels that have been garlanded by the Michelin inspectors. But it's not just about their views: the app lets you contribute your reviews too.
Artsy (Free)
"The art world in your pocket," according to the App Store listing, although thankfully considerably cheaper, and with no mouldy old sharks stinking up your trousers. This app collects together more than 60,000 artworks from galleries and museums, letting you browse them in high-resolution and learn more about the movements they're part of. Not a replacement for real-world artspotting, but something to stimulate it.
Pumatrac (Free)
Nike has its fitness-tracking app, but now Puma is following suit. Pumatrac focuses on running, tracking how far and fast you run as well as the calories you burn, and helping you analyse how that's changing over time. There's also a "run score" to encourage you with a light spot of gamification, and the ability to share tips and routes with others. It also plays nice with the Pebble smart watch.
Emily Books Reader (Free)
This is a marvellous idea: less an ebook reader and more a "new kind of book club" whose curators Ruth and Emily choose a different book every month to make available, along with interviews, artwork and other related extras. It's offered through Apple's Newsstand system, with a monthly subscription of £6.99.
iPhone / iPad
Transport Tycoon (£4.99)
I was the world's worst transport mogul in the original Transport Tycoon game on PC, with a prodigious talent for messing up buses, trains and ships alike. So I'm slightly nervous about trying again on iOS, but there's no doubt that Transport Tycoon is impressively faithful to the original game, as you build routes, buy vehicles and stations, and try to master 49 scenarios.
iPhone / iPad
Shift by TNW (Free)
Shift is the work of tech site TheNextWeb, but it's far from an aggregator of online stories. Instead, this digital magazine promises new stuff: features about "technology, innovation and startups" from around the world, with a £1.99 monthly subscription or £2.49 per-issue payment getting you the mag.
TownCraft (£2.99)
It would be surprising if it's taken this long for someone to try a Minecraft-meets-FarmVille game on iOS (although knowing the long tail of the App Store, someone may well have tried already). There's some good old god-game love in TownCraft too, as you build a town, craft tools and manage your growing population. There's lots of character in this.
The Love Book (£1.99)
The UK's National Poetry Day was this week, and The Love Book is a good way to carry the feeling onwards. It's a collection of poems, short stories and letters about love, read by actors including Helena Bonham Carter, Damian Lewis and Helen McCrory. You can also record your own versions to share with friends, with four months to practise before Valentine's Day…
iPhone / iPad
Shapes Music (£2.99)
This is an intriguing musical app: Shapes Music aims to teach you to play along on a virtual keyboard with thousands of music videos, with the transparent keys hovering over the video as it plays. The videos are pulled from YouTube, so there's a good mix of artists, and you can create playlists of your favourites.
MashupDJ (Free)
And more interactive musical fun. This is a tool for creating songs that mash up tracks from two artists to (hopefully) tuneful effect. There's a drag-and-drop editing mode for pros, or a simple one-button mode for the rest of us. And the songs? It's fair to say they're eclectic: Bad Company, Chic, David Lee Roth, Devo, New Kids On The Block, Pantera and the Spin Doctors are all included. For the prospects of a Chic-meets-Pantera bootleg alone, this is… worrying.
Axel's Chain Reaction (Free)
This children's storybook-app stars a boy named Axel, whose classmates think he's a "fidgety, distracted, clumsy boy", and who wants to make a moving insect sculpture to prove he's not. It's a beautifully-crafted app, and as the developers note, "Parents of children with high-functioning ASD, SID, ADHD, or language disorders, might recognize a bit of their child in Axel".
iPhone / iPad
Twelve by Ann Hirsch (£1.99)
This app is so ugly, it looks like an AOL chatroom from the 1990s. Oh, wait, that's the point. It's a thought-provoking story told through the famous interface by Ann Hirsch, drawing on her own experiences of AOL chat as an early-teen. The story is told through the chat window, and looks fascinating and unsettling in equal measure.
Snoop Lion's Snoopify BoomBoom Soundboard (£1.49)
Just for the title, really. Well, no, Snoop has become a mini-mogul in the apps world, making $30,000 a month earlier this year from sales of digital stickers in his Snoopify photo-sharing app. This follow-up is an entertaining musical app for playing with Snoop's beats and samples, then sharing the results.
Top Movies – A Zoomable Timeline of Movies (Free)
Finally, something for film fans – and perhaps more specifically, fans still finding their way in the world of film. It's a "zoomable timeline" of the last 100 years of movies, where you can dive into daily, monthly and yearly views of films to get more details on each, and then tap through to buy the ones that are available on Apple's iTunes Store.

Monolith Festival 2016 wins awards in two categories at WOW Awards Asia 2017
Posted on: 14-Jul-2017
The success of the second edition of the Monolith Festival 2016 has resounded yet again as the festival wins two awards in two of the heaviest categories at the recently concluded Wow Awards Asia 2017 at Aerocity, New Delhi on the 7th and 8th this month.
WOW Awards Asia is the most reputed recognition platform in the world encompassing almost every aspect of the event industry. It is in initiative of EVENTFAQs in collaboration with EEMA(Entertainment and Event Management Association), Bahrain Island Destinations and Dubai Tourism Board. 2016 marked the partnership with KPMG in India as the process advisors and evaluators for this award and the judging process has been further strengthened on top of having top industry professionals from around the world as judges. International Live Events Association (ILEA) – Middle East Chapter has strengthened its association with the WOW Awards and Convention Asia 2017 and has come on board as Supporting Industry Association.
The first award it received was the Bronze award for Intellectual Property-Achievement in Production Management through Rockski Group which was the Event Management agency responsible for the production of the festival in the first two editions. Higher achievers in this category were both based out of Dubai and they were awarded Gold and Silver for their work at the Launch of KEF Infra Park,UAE and the inauguration of the Biltmore Hotels in Tbilisi, Georgia. It was high honour indeed for a regional Indian event company to be awarded on the same platforms with the giants of the industry.
"Awards are great reaffirmation of the effort put in by our team on audience engagement. The wins at WOW are doubly special because of the stiff competition we were up against" commented Jason Manners of Rockski Group. "We were invited for a discussion forum with people of the Dubai Tourism Board and they mentioned that everybody was shocked with the kind of budget the Monolith Festival had and they had expected it to cost a lot more with the kind of work that was done with the local resources available. It wasn't event comparable to the multi million dollar projects that the other winners were working with. Lee Charteris, the current President of the ILEA Middle East chapter was one of the Judges in the category was very impressed and expressed his interest of even visiting the Festival because he has never seen an Indigenous Festival of this scale being managed in a very professional manner" he further quoted.
The second award was also bronze and it was for Intellectual Property- Festival of the Year in Art/Culture/Lifestyle. This award was all credits to the Khasi Heritage Conservation Forum, an offshoot forum of the KHADC comprising of Mr Alan West Kharkongor, Prof. Desmond Kharmawphlang, Mr Neil Antonio War, Mr. Kyntiewbor War, Mrs D.M. Lyngwa, Mr Banlumlang Blah, Mr Peter Mawlongwho were all responsible for coming up with and curating the concept and ideas revolving around the Festival. Other winners of this category were the Comic Con chain of Lifestyle Festivals that happen throughout the country and the Mother of the Nation Pavilion which is a Government event in the UAE which displays the History and Culture of the Arab Legacy.
The Member Secretary, Mr Alan West Kharkongor stated that it was indeed an honour to receive this award on such a huge platform where all the organizations involved were of very high calibre and credibility. This is only testimony of the high intellectual value of the Festival and that it is only going towards the right direction from here on and that is to reach out and spread goodwill across international borders.
The organisers attribute the success of the Festival to all those involved in the Festival whom without their rigorous and full hearted effort, the recognition wouldn't have been possible.

Posted on: 03-Jul-2017
The Border Security Forces (BSF) on Sunday seized two huge consignments of Indian saris which were being smuggled into Bangladesh. The BSF personnel made this seizure along the border in Muktapur, West Jaintia Hills and Pyrdiwah in East Khasi Hills.
According to BSF, there is growing craze for Indian Saris in Bangladesh lately and this has led to a sudden increase in the smuggling of Indian made saris along the Indo-Bangladesh International Border, especially in the Meghalaya Sector.
In the first incident, the BSF personnel deployed at Muktapur West Jaintia Hills of Meghalaya observed that around eight to ten miscreants were seen carrying 7/8 packets of consignment of clothes along the international border.
The BSF informed that the persons who were attempting to smuggle these packets of cloth ran away after seeing them. On searching these packets, the BSF recovered more than 700 saris besides 120 meters of cloth worth more than approximately 8 lakh adding that the consignment of saris were being smuggled from unfenced area of Muktapur in Jaintia Hills.
Similarly, in another incident, the troops of BSF deployed at Pyrdiwah in East Khasi Hills seized 340 numbers of saris worth Rs 4 lakh.
Meanwhile, the BSF revealed that the smugglers on both sides are keeping constant touch with each other to keep tracking the movements of the BSF patrols to get the opportunity to smuggle the cloth consignment to Bangladesh. Further, the BSF in its special drive have been able to seize a large number of cattle which are being smuggled to Bangladesh.
The BSF troops deployed at Nayabazaar, East Khasi Hills of Meghalaya seized 12 cattle worth more than 12 lakh on Sunday. In recent past, the BSF has seized 441 cattle worth more than 66 lakh in around 50 seizure which they had made along the international border.

The Emperor's New Clothes Retold, with Apologies to Hans Christian Andersen
The Prelate's New Mass
Many years ago there was a prelate so exceedingly fond of liturgical novelty that he spent all his time trying to change the ancient liturgies of his Church. He cared nothing about praying, saying his rosary, or studying theology, except to try out his new ideas for the liturgy.
In the great Church to which he belonged, the spiritual life was always vibrant. Every day many converts came to faith, and among them one day came two trained liturgists. They let it be known they were liturgists, and they said they could weave the most magnificent liturgical novelties imaginable. Not only were the colors and patterns of their tablecloth chasubles and felt banners uncommonly fine, but items made of this cloth had a wonderful way of becoming spiritually toxic to anyone who was unfit for his office, or who was unusually stupid or un-pastoral.
"Those would be just the rubrics for me," thought the prelate. "If I used them I would be able to discover which priests in my Church are unfit for their posts. And I could tell the wise men from the fools. Yes, I certainly must get some of the stuff for me right away." He paid the two swindlers a large sum of money to start work at once.
They set up two coffee table altars and pretended to restore "ancient" usages, though there was nothing in the new books they used. All the finest theology and the purest gold thread which they demanded went into their traveling bags, while they worked the empty books far into the night.
"I'd like to know how those liturgists are getting on with the reformed Mass," the prelate thought, but he felt slightly uncomfortable when he remembered that those who were unfit for their position would not be able to see the wonderful fruits of this effort. It couldn't have been that he doubted himself, yet he thought he'd rather send someone else to see how things were going. The whole Church, through the national Bishops' conference bureaucracies, knew about the new Mass' peculiar power, and all were impatient to find out how stupid their neighbors were.
"I'll send my honest old minister to the liturgists," the prelate decided. "He'll be the best one to tell me how the reformed liturgy looks, for he's a sensible man and no one does his duty better."
So the honest old minister went to the room where the two swindlers sat working away at their coffee tables.
"Heaven help me," he thought as his eyes flew wide open, "I can't see anything at all". But he did not say so.
Both the swindlers begged him to be so kind as to come near to approve the excellent rubrics, the beautiful vestments and postures. They pointed to the empty books, and the poor old minister stared as hard as he dared. He couldn't see anything, because there was nothing to see.
"Heaven have mercy," he thought. "Can it be that I'm a fool? I'd have never guessed it, and not a soul must know. Am I unfit to be the minister? It would never do to let on that I can't see the cloth."
"Don't hesitate to tell us what you think of it," said one of the liturgists.
"Oh, it's beautiful -it's enchanting." The old minister peered through his spectacles. "Such active participation!" I'll be sure to tell the prelate how delighted I am with it."
"We're pleased to hear that," the swindlers said. They proceeded to name all the new ordinary times and to explain the intricate variety of loose translations. The old minister paid the closest attention, so that he could tell it all to the prelate. And so he did.
The liturgists at once asked for more money, more silk and gold, to get on with the reforming. But it all went into their pockets. Not a thread went into the vestments, though they worked at their reforming as hard as ever.
The prelate presently sent another trustworthy official to see how the work progressed and how soon it would be ready. The same thing happened to him that had happened to the minister. He looked and he looked, but as there was nothing to see he couldn't see anything.
"Isn't it a beautiful piece of work?" the swindlers asked him, as they displayed and described their new liturgy.
"I know I'm not stupid," the man thought, "so it must be that I'm unworthy of my good office. That's strange. I mustn't let anyone find it out, though." So he praised the new liturgy whose good fruits he did not see. He declared he was delighted with the beautiful simplicity and the exquisitely complicated dynamically equivalent translation. To the prelate he said, "It held me spellbound."
All the secular media was talking of this splendid reform, and the great prelate wanted to see it for himself while it was still in the works. Attended by a band of chosen men, among whom were his two old trusted officials-the ones who had been to the liturgists-he set out to see the two swindlers. He found them celebrating with might and main, but without a connection to the Mass of the ages.
"Magnificent," said the two officials already duped. "Just look, Your Lordship, what a wide sampling of Leviticus! What an immediacy of access to the table of plenty!" They pointed to the empty books, each supposing that the others could see the stuff.
"What's this?" thought the prelate. "I can't see anything. This is terrible!
Am I a fool? Am I unfit for my high office? What a thing to happen to me of all people! - Oh! It's very pretty," he said. "It has my highest approval." And he nodded approbation at the empty reform. Nothing could make him say that he couldn't see anything improved in it.
His whole retinue stared and stared. One saw no more than another, but they all joined the prelate in exclaiming, "Oh! It's very pretty," and they advised him to wear chasubles made of polyester tablecloths especially for the great procession he was soon to lead.
"Magnificent! Excellent! Unsurpassed!" were bandied from mouth to mouth, and everyone did his best to seem well pleased. The prelate gave each of the swindlers a handsome reward and position of honor.
Before the procession the swindlers sat up all night and burned more than six candles, to show how busy they were finishing the prelate's new Mass. They pretended to take the good of souls into account. They smashed the stupid old altars with huge sledgehammers, and made lots of little coffee table ones. And at last they said, "Now the new, improved liturgy is ready."
Then the prelate himself came with his noblest courtiers, and the swindlers each raised an arm as if they were holding something cool. They said, "These are the simplified vestments, here's the new calendar, and this is the dynamically equivalent translation," naming each element. "All of them work together to make the Mass irresistible. One would almost think that it is a banal, on-the-spot fabrication, but that's what makes it so fine."
"Exactly," all the prelate's men agreed, though they could see nothing, for there was nothing to see.
"If Your Lordship will condescend to suppress the old Mass," said the swindlers, "we will help you with your new one here in your private chapel."
The prelate shelved the old Missal, dressed in the polyester chasuble, and the swindlers put him through the magnificent new rubrics.
"How well it looks. Aren't the new rubrics and audience participation becoming!" He heard on all sides, "That calendar without so many feast days, so perfect! Those translations, so suitable! It is a magnificent Mass."
Then the minister of public worship announced: "Your Lordship's clergy is waiting for the new product."
"Well, I'm supposed to be smart," the prelate said, and turned again for one last, wistful look at the discarded ancient Missal. "this new thing is a remarkable fit, isn't it?" He was sure the pews would be packed.
So off went the prelate to promulgate the splendid new liturgy.
Everyone in the streets and the windows said, "Oh, how fine is the new liturgy! Doesn't it celebrate the priesthood of the laity? Nobody would confess that he couldn't see any improvement, for that would prove him either unfit for his position, or a fool. It was such a complete success.
"But this isn't very good," a little child said.
"Did you ever hear such innocent prattle?" said its father. And one person whispered to another what the child had said, "It isn't very good. A child says it isn't very good."
"But this isn't very good at all!" the whole Church cried out at last. And the pews emptied. And the seminaries emptied. And the convents emptied. And the schools emptied. And the cradles emptied.
The prelate shivered, for he suspected they were right. But he thought, "This new liturgy has got to go on. Besides, everyone knows it takes about fifty years for these things to catch on." So he walked more proudly than ever, as his men held high the reform that wasn't there at all.

They cancelled all color
Sanctuaries stripped
First Communions were duller.
No crinoline whites
Pale hues they were stressed
Only pearled-Pharisees
Are ever so dressed.
Roses carnations,
Flowers all manners
Left just to wither
'Gainst assertives' beige banners.
Pillars of marble
Corinthian styles
They decided to paint
Like pink bathroom tiles.
Cassocks of red
Habits blue-white
Robes of distinction
Extinct over night.
Missals with pages
Embossed in gloss-gold
Latin in tint
English-black often bold.
Even the ribbons
To mark scriptural prayers
Were of green, yellow, silvers
So to keep us from errors.
The soft votive flames
The red opaque glass
Gave an aura of stillness
Like time could not pass.
Yet time it passed
Vividness drained
And populations with out color
Cannot be sustained.
So those underground
With red blood in blue veins
Birthed knowledge the arts
Great virtues they've gained.
They did not decay-
God's colors kept green
For the day up above
Once again to be seen.
Except for those beige
Gray fertility fades
In their black open minds.

'Allo 'Allo star Sam Kelly dies at 70
British actor Sam Kelly, best known for his roles in Allo Allo and Porridge, has died at the age of 70.
The Manchester-born star's agent Lynda Ronan said Kelly died peacefully after a long illness "bravely fought".
She said: "He does not leave any family but a host of friends who were his chosen family."
Former Doctor Who Colin Baker paid tribute on Twitter to his colleague from drama school, describing Kelly as a "lovely, funny, talented chap".
"Cannot believe that lovely Sam Kelly has died," he added. "So sad".
Baker studied alongside Kelly at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art in the 1960s.
Kelly's agent described his death as great loss to his friends "and the profession".
Director Mike Leigh, who worked with him nine times, told BBC Radio 5 live that he was the "most loveable guy".
He said that although he was very funny, he was a great character actor and had a marvellous singing voice which was put to good use when he played the Wizard of Oz in the West End musical Wicked.
"He was very versatile indeed but above all, he was just a really great guy," he added.
A tribute also came from Quadrophenia film actor Phil Davis, who said on Twitter: "So sad to hear that Sam Kelly has died, a wonderful actor, a proper gent and one of the funniest men I ever had the pleasure of working with."
Kelly played prisoner Bunny Warren in the BBC's Porridge between 1974 and 1978 and Nazi captain Hans Geering in the first four series of 'Allo 'Allo between 1982 and 1987. His other roles include the ITV sitcom Barbara and On the Up, in which he appeared alongside Dennis Waterman and Joan Sims.
Another part saw him play Hitler in 1993 prisoner of war TV comedy drama Stalag Luft, alongside Stephen Fry and Nicholas Lyndhurst.
Paying tribute on Twitter, Fry tweeted: "Very saddened to hear about Sam Kelly's death. He played a splendid Hitler".
'Famous line'
Kelly also had a distinguished theatrical career which saw him take on roles at the National Theatre and Old Vic. But in February he withdrew from his part in Wicked owing to ill health.
Aaron Brown, editor of the British Comedy Guide website, said Kelly would be "forever be remembered as a favourite character by fans of 'Allo 'Allo, not least for his half-hearted 'tler' salute, and delivery of the 'drug in the jug' tongue-twister from the series two Christmas special - the sitcom's most famous single line".
The success of the show brought Kelly to the attention of millions of people around the world but he was a versatile and brilliant comedy performer and leaves behind a wide body of work, he added.
Natalie Anderson, who appears in TV soap Emmerdale, tweeted: "Totally devastated to hear of the sad news of my friend and 'Wizard' Sam Kelly's passing!!! A truly wonderful and incredible gentleman!"
And writing on Twitter before he was about to go on stage in the West End stage show Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Robert Lindsay said he would dedicate the performance to Kelly.
He said: "Feel so depressed about the amazing Sam Kelly's passing how do we manage a second comic musical tonight? we dedicate it to him RIP".
Sherlock actor Mark Gatiss tweeted: "Desperately sad news that the wonderful Sam Kelly has left us. Such a funny, talented man and one of the good guys. RIP Bunny Warren".

Fascinating New Babies Now at Seaside Aquarium, N. Oregon Coast
Published 04/21/2014
(Seaside, Oregon) – The ocean has a habit of coughing up the strangest things, and sometimes they're still alive.(Above: a baby moon jelly. All photos courtesy Tiffany Boothe, Seaside Aquarium.)
Case in point: Seaside Aquarium made some discoveries on a north Oregon coast beach a while back that have now meant a visit from the stork, bringing new baby creatures to the legendary attraction.
A handful of mystery eggs found on the beach on February 17 started hatching a couple weeks later. They were found attached to a large entanglement of bull kelp that had come ashore at Seaside. Aquarists there noticed a fish had laid eggs which had then fixed themselves to the kelp.
Seaside Aquarium staff had no clue what sort of eggs they were. So, they simply waited for them to hatch.
Even then, on March 5, the fish were still too small to be accurately identified. But as they steadily grew, feeding on brine shrimp, staff were finally able to make an ID for the little ones on April 15.
"We took a close look at them and were able to identified them as Tubesnouts (Aulorhynchus flavidus)," said the aquarium's Tiffany Boothe. "Over the last few weeks we have posted the fish on our Facebook Page and no one was able to guess our Mystery Fish's identity (even our aquarists). But it was fun trying."
Tubesnouts can be found in local bays and estuaries. They generally grow up to 7.5 inches in length and feed on small invertebrates.
The Seaside Aquarium is also boasting other little newborns: baby jellyfish. Their moon jellies recently gave birth, in a sense.
Boothe said moon jellies have two main stages in their life cycle: the polyp stage and the medusa stage. The polyps (above, which in appearance resemble sea anemones) release ephrya, essentially baby jellies.
On April 17, they saw their polyps releasing ephrya.
"With any luck we will be able to raise them," Boothe said.
Moon jellies are translucent, and with their limited movement capabilities only drift with the currents. They feed by stinging small plankton and mollusks with prickly little tentacles, then moving the their food into their body for digestion. They also feed on crustaceans, tunicate larvae, protozoans, diatoms, fish eggs and other similarly small organisms.
Moon jellies do not have breathing organs such as gills or lungs, but instead diffuse oxygen from water through a thin membrane.
They are essentially found all over the Earth's oceans, but mostly in the upper hemisphere, living in temperatures that are typical of the oceans off the western U.S. and Pacific Northwest.
Seaside Aquarium is on the Prom in Seaside. 503-738-5211.

Fallen out with Ubuntu Mate 18.04. Installed Lubuntu 18.04, but got errors with that – windows disappearing off the screen (known bug), now installed Xubuntu 18.04, which is a bit slower, but more reliable.

How do you remove this missive?
The answer is you can't – at least not directly, but what you can do is set your machine up as a dual Windows/Linux boot. In that way you will be able to use the current version of Chrome which has been compiled for Linux.
Allen Knight
After using Elementary OS Luna since I started this blog, I have now switched to Ubuntu Mate 18.04 which seems to me to be more sensible distro for use on a laptop than some of the others. I first installed the 32 bit version which was a mistake, because many things like Google Chrome (which is now only compiled for 64 bit) did not work. The laptop, an Acer Aspire 5630, currently only has 1gig of RAM. I may get round to upgrading it one day, but I don't think the extra RAM will make much difference. Anyway, the point is You are better of installing the 64 bit version of Ubuntu even if you only have a 1Gig machine.

How do I install OS Elementary apps on Linux Mint 18.2 Sonya?
Linux Mint 18.2 Sonya fixes some issues which plagued earlier versions of Ubuntu and its derivatites. For example if you are on a Laptop with OS Elementary Luna, (built on Ubuntu 12.04) you will find for example you have no 'hibernate' facility. This is fixed in Linux Mint 18.2, so you might like to install this instead of OS Elementary, but add OS Elementary features to Mint. How do you do that?
How do you do that?
Elementary my dear Watson!
There is no Ubuntu version "loki", so you have to use "xenial" Ubuntu repositories with elementary repositories.
sudo apt-get install software-properties-common sudo apt-get install software-properties sudo apt-get update sudo apt-add-repository ppa.launchpad.net/elementary-os/stable/ubuntu xenial main sudo apt-add-repository ppa.launchpad.net/elementary-os/os-patches/ubuntu xenial main sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ricotz/docky sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade sudo apt-get install plank
Tip: Elementary Tweaks is needed to configure the Docky Plank, but you cannot install OS Elementary Tweaks on Linux Mint 18.2 directly because OS Elementary Loki is built on an earlier version of Ubuntu. However you can built it from source after you have followed this Tutorial. To do this, install Elementary SDK which is available in the Synaptic Package Manager once you add the PPAs above.
The Docky Plank will work perfectly well on Linux Mint, but you will not be able to change the theme without OS Elementary Tweaks.
Hint: type 'elementary' into the Synaptic Package Manager search box to find what elementary apps are available to your distro.

Install Amiga Emulator (Amibian) on Raspberry Pi
Steps required ( Raspberry Pi 3 needed, if you have an older Pi Model, try RetroPie)
- Download compressed disk image and extract it. (Install the 7zip program on your Windows PC if you have not already done so).
- Write this disk image to an SD card.
- Boot this SD card on the R-Pi, and expand the file system.
- Return the SD card to your Linux PC and use the file manager to copy Amiga Kickstart ROM files and floppy disk files to the SD card. (The website suggests you use Midnight Commander to do this, but that's harder).
- Boot the R-Pi and choose option 6 from the menu – settings. Enter your WiFi SSID and password.
- With the R-Pi now online, you can update the system.
- The command 'raspc' has he effect of 'sudo raspi-config'
Software Tools Required:
A Windows Computer, A Linux Computer (or a dual boot) SD formatter. Disk Image Writer.
It is much easier to prepare the SD card on Windows.
If you are running Linux, you can just drag the Amiga Kickstarts and ADF files to the SD card.
I use OS Elementary Luna for this purpose. You need to run your file manager as root in order to be able to access the Raspberry Pi's SD card when it is in your Windows machine.
Add 'Open as Administrator' to Pantheon in Elementary OS Luna
Tips: if your R-Pi does not have Wifi, you can connect it to your laptop which does using an RJ45 Ethernet Interconnecting lead .Linux: From the Network menu, go down to 'Edit Connections' add a connection and choose 'share connection'. Windows: enable Internet Connection Sharing as directed by the Windows Help system or Google it. Note if you enable ICS on Windows, you must turn it off to allow file sharing.
The Amiga Kickstart ROMs are still covered by Copyright which is why they are not included in the Amibian distro. If you own a real Amiga, you can make your own copy of the Kickstart ROM, however this is a waste of time since all the Kickstarts are available online. Downloading the Kickstart only infringes the copyright if you don't own a real Amiga.
If you don't own an Amiga, you can purchase an 'Amiga Forever CD' from Cloanto which includes the Kickstarts. This package is of more use to those who do not have a real Amiga.
The 'Armiga' will allow you to transfer real disks to an emulator without a real Amiga. It has a built-in Amiga compatible floppy drive, but it can only make disk images of standard diskettes which excludes many games which have copy protection.

SeedlingsOur charm pattern for the Clara's Garden fabric collection is as simple (and addictive) as planting the first seedlings in their little peat pots each spring. We sewed rows of charm squares together, added borders, sandwiched the quilt, then appliqued the melons onto the runner as we quilted it. So fast, so fun, so cool! Add buttons from Hillcreek Designs that blend perfectly with KT fabrics for the finishing touch. We'll have button packs available in December when the patterns are done.

…let the little children come to me… Luke 18:16
Gina, Brian and their four young daughters had spent the entire day at her parents celebrating with family. Now, as they slipped into the back of the church for Christmas Eve service, Gina surveyed those around her and became painfully aware that her family had arrived not in little red dresses and black shiny shoes, but jeans, sweatshirts and tennis shoes. "Oh brother." she sighed.
When the pastor invited all the children to come close for the children's message, Gina groaned and then watched as her eldest, Bethany, scurried down the isle hugging everyone she knew on the isle seats. As the pastor complimented the little ones on their fancy attire, Gina wanted to leave.
Then he asked this question, "What are we waiting for tonight?" Bethany's hand shot straight up in the air and "Hanukkah!" came forth. After clearing that up he asked another question, "What is something you've had to wait for"? Again Bethany's hand shot straight up and she said, "Well, I've had to wait for my mom to wake up from a nap. Wait, and wait, and wait and wait." Gina's head found its way into her hands.
As my friend told me this story I was laughing with her and feeling her pain. As a mom with young children at the time I identified with wanting to feel joy and pride in the way our children represent our family. I want to be the mom whose children are dressed nicely and give the answers that tell we know Jesus in our home. Not necessarily the one whose child has sat down in the middle of the song, in front of the whole church, to pick his nose, or flip up her dress. (I do recognize the pride here, I'm just being honest.)
I reflected on Gina's story a lot the next day. I thought about how it really was a great Christmas story.
Bethany, though a young child loves the Lord. I thought about how much like Jesus she really was. Had Jesus been at that service, I don't think he would have been any more dressed up than he normally was; when we read of the wedding in Galilee, there was no mention of his fancy garb. When Jesus walked among the people he would greet them along the way, remember how he called out to Zacchaeus – and he wasn't even near the isle, he was up in a tree!
Luke 18:16-17 says, "But Jesus called the children to him and said, "Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it."
Oh, that we could all be a little more like Bethany – greeting, shaking hands and hugging all the friends we meet along our way. That we would wave our hand with excitement to give the answers, and that in our excitement we would not worry about shouting out a response that is different from what is expected. That we should all smile as big as Bethany does because she knows Jesus is in her heart.
I was not at this particular Christmas Eve service, and even if I had been, there is no way to be sure, but I am certain that Jesus was smiling at Bethany that night. Had Jesus shown up in the flesh, I can only imagine how I might have responded to his presence, but I believe, without a doubt, that a smiling Bethany would have run full blast into his arms.
I don't know about you, but I want to be more like Bethany.

Dachshund Nutrition – What to feed my dachshund
Dachshund Nutrition
With so many choices it can be hard to choose a proper dog food for your dachshund. We all want the best for our doxies and Dachshund Nutrition is paramount. For us, it took several attempts to find the perfect dog food for our house pets, puppies and parents. Every dog can be different. For starters, if you just bought a dachshund puppy it is always best to stick with the food your breeder gave you for a little while. Then, gradually blend the old food in with the new until their tummies get adjusted. If you have a dog breed that is very high energy, you are going to need a dog food higher in fat than let's say..someone that owns a Basset Hound. LOL Many dogs have food allergies, just like humans. If your dog is continually keeping an upset tummy and diarrhea then you need to check with your vet about food allergies. Some dogs just can't handle lamb products, and others can't handle beef. There's really no way of knowing which dog is going to be sensitive to certain dog food without trying them. Other signs a particular dog food isn't working for your dog would be coat problems. With proper Dachshund Nutrition, your dogs' coat should be shiny and feel healthy. We once tried a new dog food, because another breeder recommended it, and our dogs coats started breaking off. Like your hair might in the dead of the winter when you haven't had conditioner for a month. At one time we tried one of the biggest names in pet nutrition and our puppies WOULD NOT eat it. So, to say the least..finding what to feed my dachshund may took a little experimentation.
Dachshund Nutrition That's Easy to Find
Here at our home, we feed a particular brand to our house pets, another to our puppies..and yet another formula to our mothers and fathers. We try to meet the individual needs of our dogs, but we also have to choose from what we have on hand. So to speak. There is no shame in thinking about what's convenient to you. Let's face it, most of you aren't going to drive an hour each way (like we do) to get your dog food. You'll want to be realistic about dachshund nutrition. With that in mind, most large chain stores (I won't mention the name, but we all know I am talking about that big blue store where the prices are supposedly always dropping..ha!) started carrying the premium dog foods as well as several premium formulas of the good old Purina and Pedigree we all grew up with. Of coarse, Pet Smart like stores and your vet both carry dog food, too. Like I said, whichever is most convenient. I once had a customer who's dog was allergic to corn, which is in most dog foods, and her vet recommended one of those natural dog foods.. her local feed mill orders it for her and it saves her over $20 a bag!
Now . . . About Those Premium Dog Foods
Keeping Dachshund Nutrition in mind, let's talk about the premium names in dog food. We all know Iams, Eukenuba, and Science Diet are the big three when it comes to dog food. I think they are great and have no real opinion on which one you should choose. Most of these are readily accessible. And, they provide great nutritional support for your dog. I recommend taking some time to research and experiment with them. Most of these premium dog foods are labeled at around 25-17. This means that they have 25% Protein and 17%. Eukenuba has a breed specific dog food just for Dachshund Nutrtion. I personally haven't tried it, but you can see it by clicking the link below. It has about the same fat/protein content as the others, but has glucosamine and chondroitin that are great for their backs and joints. As well as a little something extra for their teeth. The only problem I can find with this at the moment is that it seems to be hard to find. Science Diet also has something similar that is called Healthy Mobility. At only 15% fat, I would think this would be good for overweight Doxies, but again.. it's hard to find. I just thought I would share the info. The basic adult formulas of these name brands are all great.
Old Favorites for Dachshund Nutrition
Purina and Pedigree have been the leaders in pet nutrition for as long as I can remember. While I am not a huge fan of their basic dog food, I am impressed with their alternatives. Purina One, Purina High Pro, etc.. great dog food! Pedigree has some healthy options, too. Any of these formulas would be great for Dachshund Nutrition. I have a friend that uses their chicken and rice food with her Italian Greyhound and he looks amazing. I have even seen many dog owners that use Beneful and their dogs coats are extremely nice. All of these can generally be found at your local chain store. Helpful hint – BUY small bags!! If you only own one or two small dogs, don't go to the store and buy the 50lb. bag! It'll go stale long before your pets can finish it.
Whatever choice you make, remember that owning a dog is a life long commitment not what you feed him! Be flexible. If you don't think your dog is doing very well on the food you're feeding him. CHANGE. You've just got to read this article on changing your dog food on a regular basis to give him variety! It's really interesting.
Changing Your Pet's Dog Food
Wiki's page on dog food is really interesting. They give an analysis of wet food, organic food, natural, etc.

To celebrate the recent opening of our permanent studio at Dubai Citywalk, Physique 57 instructor Neva Cockrell is giving readers a sneak peek at her experience living (and working) in Dubai.
We've been in Dubai for a little more than 3 months opening the first international Physique 57 studio. It's been a whirlwind, and is really taking off! We have been working in a temporary space, while our gorgeous new studio was being finished, and now it's finally happened! Our new studio is up and running, and is perfect–down to the last detail, and the clients here love it! As a teacher it's been really rewarding to be teaching in this new studio because I see many of our clients almost every day. I am getting to work closely with them on their bodies and form as they get stronger, leaner, and healthier. Just the other day I measured one of our amazing clients, Bronwyn Patten, who's been doing Physique classes 6 days a week for 1 month and has already lost a total of 4 inches and feels leaner, happier and more energized. What a treat to get to celebrate something like that with a client!
So what's it actually like in Dubai? So far I am really liking it (and I think the best is yet to come!). The weather is getting to be nice, fall has brought the weather into the 80s and 90s. I live a 15 minute walk from the studio, a 5 minute walk from the metro, and a 30 minute walk from the beach in a great one-bedroom apartment with a balcony…not bad right? And on top of that, most apartment buildings here are outfitted with a swimming pool, gym, and sauna! Coming from NYC living, that's a dream! I swim almost every day, get a healthy amount of sunshine, eat fresh food from all over the world, and travel to other parts of the world on my long weekends. English is the first language and it's definitely the most commonly spoken. To be honest, the lifestyle is so comfortable that sometimes I forget I'm not in America, and then I'll hear the call to prayer coming from a Mosque down the street or see people in traditional Arab dress. It's a nice mix of comfort and newness for me.
As a fitness instructor, I really feel like I am doing something new here. There aren't a lot of fitness choices in Dubai, as the industry is just starting to take off, so we are at the forefront of the movement and offering something unique! It's exhilarating, people are curious and excited to try our classes, and the news is spreading fast. We will be featured in Shape Middle East and Cosmo Middle East next month!
Though there are relatively few Americans here, everyone seems excited about this new American fitness offering and curious to learn more about US. I am enjoying being a rarity—I meet people who say, "You moved to Dubai from NYC to help open a fitness studio? I've never met anyone doing that before!". And that's neat. Dubai might be even more of a cultural melting pot than NYC, and I am finding it really rich and fun to be meeting people from all over the world—sharing stories, ideas, and cultures with them! Unlike NYC, Dubai is still a very young city, so there isn't yet a "uniform culture," which allows each person to be individual, from their own culture. I like that.
The city is overall less expensive than NYC, but similar in that you have all of the possible lifestyle choices available to you! I love being able to treat myself, and still live within my means, and Dubai makes it easy to do both. I don't have a car, though I would say most people do. Having a car seems like it might make life a little easier—though I've rented one 4 times since I've been here and that's easy to do to take weekend trips. So far though, I am getting by fine riding the metro (which is very fast and clean!), taking taxis (which are pretty inexpensive), walking, and biking. It's really a lifestyle choice, whichever you prefer! As the weather continues to get nicer, I spend even more time outside, on the beach and in the parks (yes there are a few parks, and one particularly big and wonderful one). The city is an incredible combination of truly cosmopolitan life and serious beach/vacation life!
So if you find yourself in Dubai, definitely stop by our studio for a class! We'll be pulsing and squeezing in our gorgeous new studio at Citywalk (with a view of the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world!) 7 days a week! And if you or anyone you know is interested in joining our Physique 57 team in Dubai as an Instructor please have them contact [email protected]. We are growing so quickly and have so much going on that we are looking to expand our team! It's a great opportunity for someone looking to live abroad, in a beautiful, international city, and help to pioneer the fitness scene in the Middle East, while living on the beach. In addition, you would be helping to start Physique 57's first international studio within its first year! What a truly dynamic combination!

Carers provide unpaid ongoing support to family or friends with disability, age-related frailty or chronic illness. They can be partners, parents, children, friends, neighbours or colleagues who provide assistance with personal care, lifting, mobility, administering medication, banking, shopping or housework.
One in eight South Australians are carers. They come from all walks of life, all cultures and all age groups. Most of us will either be carers or require care at some point in our lives.
Caring is a role that can be both rewarding but also costly in terms of life opportunities, financial security and health. We support those who support others by:
- administering the South Australian Carers Recognition Act 2005 that acknowledges the valuable role of carers in the community and guides government agencies in their interactions with carers
- building on the commitments of the Act with our strategic plan - We Care: Our Plan for South Australian Carers - that helps address the needs of carers.
