I've been so swamped with work-related reading lately, I've barely had time to read for pleasure. Thus, rather than my usual tendency to binge-read a book in one or a few sittings, I started Camille Bordas's How to Behave in a Crowd a few pages at a time. It took me a while to get into the story, but before long, I was sucked in — to the point where I was sneaking in pages on my way to work and before appointments.
The protagonist Dory (or Izzie, as he prefers to be called) is the youngest of a large, Salinger-esque family of brilliant intellectuals. Unlike his pretentious siblings (who are sometimes hard to distinguish from one another), Dory is a kid with normal problems — loneliness, everyday humiliations, crushes on unattainable girls who may or may not know his name. Dory's normalcy makes him stand out from his siblings, who skipped grades at school and are prone to impart their wisdom to their naive younger brother in the most heavy-handed ways. We're told (and we see) that Dory is sensitive and empathetic in a way foreign to his siblings; he, for example, befriends his insufferably snobbish sister Simone's visiting penpal, Rose, because Simone can't bear to stoop to Rose's vacuousness. He pays attention to his loved ones and is frequently the only person to notice others' secret pain. At first, Dory's sensitivity seems like a weak consolation for the fact that he's not brilliant. But then we see that perhaps Dory's gift of emotional intelligence makes him the most brilliant of all.
I really enjoyed this book. I loved Dory. I found his and his family's navigation through various events such as death, disillusionment, and failure compelling and real. While I never quite warmed up to Dory's siblings (until very literally the end of the book), the family's home was a place I liked to be, stained couch and all. I was sad to say goodbye (to Dory, not the couch).
The beauty of this book is that things happen (big things!), but it's not about the plot. It's a psychological bildungsroman in which a character's inner life is even more fascinating than what's happening around him.
I received this book from Blogging for Books in exchange for this review. All opinions are my own.
Hag-Seed by Margaret Atwood is a modern retelling of William Shakespeare's The Tempest, which I have not read. I worried that might make this review unfair, but then I realized there's got to be a good number of Margaret Atwood fans (or fans of literary fiction in general) who might be interested in Hag-Seed but also haven't read The Tempest. If you belong in that category, this review is for you.
First of all, I don't think you have to be familiar with The Tempest to enjoy Hag-Seed. Atwood includes a plot synopsis of the play, but at the back of the book — I took this to mean she also doesn't think you need to know the original story to enjoy Hag-Seed. That said, I can imagine that familiarity with the original story would be helpful. But I'll get back to that later.
Here's the basic plot of Hag-Seed: Felix is a play director who finds himself ousted from his position. He subsequently flees from all aspects of his previous life and holes up in a cave-like dwelling out in the middle of nowhere. For work, he secures a position as a teacher at a correctional center, with the condition that he be allowed to base the curriculum on a study and performance of a Shakespearean play. Meanwhile, he is dealing with his own demons — the grief of a past tragedy, the spite towards his ousters, his desire for revenge. All of this culminates in Felix's decision to have his inmate students perform The Tempest, both as a way to exorcize his demons and as a vehicle for revenge.
To return to a previous point — you don't have to have read The Tempest to enjoy this book, but I'm willing to bet the story would be a lot more enjoyable if you had. There are plot contrivances that are understandable only because I know Atwood was following the original story. The characters are a bit uneven — the prisoners, particularly, seemed less believable as actual contemporary criminals than as background players in a Shakespearean comedy. I can, however, imagine the delight I would've experienced in connecting Atwood's story and characters with the original.
I have always loved Atwood and there are certainly moments that shine for the writing. I particularly admired the sympathetic and believable depiction of Felix's relationship with his deceased daughter's ghost. But what I enjoyed most is the depiction of Felix's classes. As an English teacher, it tickled me to see a skilled teacher tease meaning and intrigue out of a Shakespearean work, especially since I will be teaching Shakespeare for the first time this year. Would that I be half as inspiring as Felix!
I wasn't terribly interested in reading this book, based on the subject matter alone — it's about a wealthy, WASP-y family (with five sons who refer to themselves as — and I quote — the "Five Famous, Fierce, Forceful, Faithful, Fabled, Fortunate, Fearless Falkeses" — that moniker alone made me want to put the book down). We've established that an inordinate percentage of lauded "literature" revolves around the trials and tribulations of privileged white men and frankly, at this point, I'm just tired. The thought of reading about SIX privileged white men (the Five... Falkes + their dad) made me feel really tired.
But — but! — I decided to give the book a shot and, lo and behold, I was rapidly hooked, despite myself. Rieger writes with spare — even brusque — sentences and the pace leaves no time for weariness. After the first few pages (in which we immediately discover that patriarch Rupert Falkes is dying, and then get a high-speed account of his blue-blood wife Eleanor's back story) I found myself thinking, "She's just telling us everything, straight up! How in the world is Rieger going to keep this up for 254 pages?"
But she does! We soon find ourselves immersed in the kinds of conflicts rich people encounter, like a posthumous paternity claim, unrequited love, mid-life crises, anti-Semitic in-laws (almost all of which can be solved by $$$). To me, the magic of the book is that I loved reading it, even though I didn't truly care about anyone's problems, and that's simply a credit to Rieger's clever writing. I love her way of taking any overwrought drama out of the soap opera-worthy storylines; the cool absence of emotion is, remarkably, delightful. Rieger just tell it like it is, tongue firmly in cheek.
It's not a perfect book. Most notably, the Five Famous... Falkes are faintly ridiculous two-dimensional stereotypes. To be honest, I still can't tell you which one Tom is. (The trumpet player? The nice one? Or is that Will? There IS a Tom, right?) I didn't care enough about them to keep the characters straight, not did I particularly want to hang out with any of them. I definitely didn't want to hang out with oldest-child Harry. But Eleanor and Rupert — and their marriage — are endlessly fascinating. I loved that no one really understands Eleanor, but no one can help but admire her. She reminds me of a warmer take on Clarissa Dalloway (a good thing, in my book).
All in all, The Heirs is fun but smart — high-brow summer reading, the perfect pick for the beginning of summer break. Recommended!
My former boss once interviewed Salman Rushdie. She's met hundreds of prominent people over her career, and she said he stuck out as a favorite because he was both brilliant and generous.
For this, and also because it is ubiquitous in Books You Have to Read lists, I once packed Midnight's Children as my only reading option on an intercontinental plane ride. I ended up giving up about halfway through (it's a THICK book!). I found the writing brilliant, yes, but not really that generous — in fact, it almost read as if it were a vehicle to display Rushdie's brilliance, and that's why the book is so long.
Actually, the truth may also just be that I'm not bright enough (or patient enough) to enjoy Rushdie's brilliance (I once also ditched the almost universally-lauded Wolf Hall mere chapters from the end, so I am serious when I say this is the likely explanation).
For this reason, I was nervous to request an advanced review copy of The Golden Hour. I was afraid I'd have a hard time finishing it. But the blurb said this book is a scathing commentary on today's political and cultural climate (my paraphrase), so I was intrigued. (Also, I felt the need to finish a Rushdie sooner rather than later.) This time, I plowed through the book during a cross-country road trip. I finished in a few days — and I enjoyed it!
The Golden House is about privileged family, Nero Golden and his three grown sons. The Goldens are remarkable because of their wealth (they own a mansion in a private New York City neighborhood), but also because they suddenly appear in New York with nary a backstory. In fact, they are intent on obscuring their shared family history — we don't even know their real names or their country of origin. We are made privy to this family's secrets by a Nick Caraway-esque narrator, who initially tells us his job is to observe, but, of course, gets himself inextricably tied to each family member's fate all the way to the bitter end. The narrator, who gives himself a pseudonym (Rene — take a guess as to why a pseudonym is necessary), almost immediately excuses his obsession with the family by claiming he is writing a screenplay in which they are the subjects. And thus begins the tale.
What I liked about this book: Rushdie is not shy when using foreshadowing (is it foreshadowing if he tells us outright that something bad is going to happen?), but it worked for me. I genuinely wanted to know what would happen next, especially once Rene gets more directly involved. I also enjoyed the hyper-currentness of the piece, which I'm not sure I've ever experienced in a novel— Rushdie takes us all the way past Trump's victory to 2017. The way he paints the most recent election is fascinating and disturbing (Trump's character is The Joker, Clinton is Batgirl) — I was acutely aware of just how farcical real life seems right now. Rushdie also dips into a multitude of worlds within his narrative — we hear about the art scene in New York City, Indian mob culture, even the inner-thoughts of a Russian gold-digger. And the writing? It's clear as a neon sign that Rushdie is brilliant.
Surprise, surprise. That brilliance is maybe my biggest beef with the book. Rushdie, like in Midnight's Children, is too smart for me — he drops names (and all manner of trivia, in various languages) with reckless abandon. He also has such a strong voice, which is excellent, except every character sounds like they are various versions of the same voice. (No one, including the younger characters, sounds like they actually live in current day New York City.) In fact, the setting is confusing — it's supposed to be now, in a world I recognize, but the portrayal of actual events is so stylized, it could be of any made-up place, in any made-up time. (I'm thinking now that perhaps that was the point!) The actual plot centering on the Goldens almost feels anachronistic. I found it jarring when there are current-day references — oh yeah, this is supposed to be happening in my world.
By now, this is sounding like a negative review. On the contrary, I quite liked this book and would recommend it. The plotting was, at times, delicious and Rushdie gives nice, satisfying pay-offs. (I found it terribly unfair but quite enjoyable that one character gets to have his cake and eat it, too.) Suffice it to say, The Golden Hour has made me want to give Midnight's Children another shot.
I received this book from Net Galley in exchange for this review. All opinions are my own.

How to Become a Writer: Claire Varley
This series is based on an early short-story by Lorrie Moore called 'How to Become a Writer', a wry account of all the seemingly random events, choices and missteps that led a young woman to dedicate herself to a life of putting words on paper. This is a subject I'm fascinated by. Whenever I talk to authors, read their interviews or hear them speak, I'm struck by the enormous variety of routes there are to the same end-point.
There are those who come to writing through study, others are self-taught; some begin early while others are 'late-bloomers'; some are lucky enough to find mentors, others go it alone; some begin as teachers, editors or in other word-related professions, others come from lives as accountants or sheep shearers. I take tremendous comfort in knowing there's more than one way to pack a sack; that just because you haven't done certain things (like gone to university), doesn't mean you can't become a writer; we must each find our own path to the writing life.
Claire Varley is the author of novels The Book of Ordinary People (2018) and The Bit in Between(2015). She works in the community sector, specialising in gender equity, family violence and the prevention of violence against women, and has coordinated community development projects in Australia and overseas, including remote Solomon Islands and with refugee and asylum seekers in Melbourne's outer north. She lives in Geelong and is working on her next novel. Here is her journey to writing:
The Author's 'Unreasonable yet Unshakeable Sense of Self-Belief' Period
The first book I ever wrote was about a young boy who finds a magic lamp and goes on adventures with his pet monkey, a genie and a flying carpet. Perhaps this story sounds familiar to you? No doubt you've somehow gotten your hands on the one-off handcrafted texta-on-stapled-together-printer-paper edition of Aladdin and His Genie and His Magic Carpet dropped on Grade 3/4W circa 1995, (or else you've seen the little-known indie Disney movie). Either way, the point is, from a very young age I was raised in an environment that encouraged me to love and create stories. I kept writing throughout my school years, buoyed by the ongoing encouragement of those around me. I would 'gift' people pieces of writing I had created for them – without irony or self-consciousness, as if I was some kind of prophet or travelling bard – and they would encourage me to keep writing. For some reason
I was instilled with an utterly unshakeable and disproportionate belief in myself that propelled me to keep exploring ways of playing with language and story.
While I am baffled, bemused and somewhat embarrassed by my erstwhile moxie, the key thing is that this entire time I wanted to be A Writer and no one ever told me I couldn't. That came later.
The Author's 'But How Will You Pay the Bills?' Period
I finished high school fairly certain I had it all sorted. I started an Arts degree with the view to becoming a lawyer/journalist/writer/philosopher/…/…/… then realised I had no idea what I wanted to be despite the fact I was well on my way to being 'grown up.' It was a classic crash course in the Real World and my disproportionate childhood confidence was completely shattered. Do you know who wanted to be A Writer? Everyone in my Arts degree. And do you know how often any of us received pats on the head? Not even when we begged. After a year, I switched to a media course at a different university, then, after another year, deferred for twelve months to teach English in China and backpack around Tibet, Nepal and India (akin to the montage sequence in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button except I aged in the appropriate direction). I used this time to write travel pieces, a number of which were picked up by various publications and a majority of which were not, and in hindsight this was a really important training ground for my writing. By the time I returned to Australia to complete the first degree I'd started I was pretty sure I would never be A Writer and had decided instead to work in international development.
I kept writing because I didn't know how not to, but in a desperate pessimistic way that was matched by the growing pile of rejection letters I received from various publications.
My final subject for my degree was a summer course on the Meiji Restoration (because: Arts degree) and took place during an unbearable Melbourne heatwave where people languished in airconditioned shopping malls while the city's northern fringe burned. I don't remember too much about the subject except that during the final lecture the air-conditioner conked out and as we alternated between sticking to and sliding off the vinyl seats the lecturer gave up and dismissed the class, but not without telling us that the only advice he would ever give anyone was to find something they loved doing and make a career out of it. Which brings me to…
The Author's 'Lookin' at the (Wo)Man in the Mirror' Period
Around this time, I attended my first Emerging Writers Festival. It frustrates me that I can't remember the topic of the session, or who is was that was speaking, but a panellist was asked something along the lines of 'what advice would you give to people who want to be writers?' I leant forward, pen poised over notebook, and the answer was like an electric shock. 'The most important thing is to think of yourself as a writer. It's not about whether you are published or whether you sell a million books. If you write, you are a writer.' As obvious as this seems, it was a revelation to me and it changed my entire outlook on my writing and on myself. No longer did I see it as an albatross I would never be free of, but as a pursuit I loved and revelled in, private or otherwise. I went home and wrote a novel, making the most of the gap between finishing university and starting my first real grown up job, and when it was finished I sent it out into the world quietly confident it would be successful. You know how it is – sometimes you just know these things [winky-face-prayer-hands-poop-emoji]. Of course, it was rejected by everyone, but I received a personalised rejection letter from Penguin that told me to keep writing, so I did. A year or so later I moved to a remote part of the Solomon Islands for work and set out to write a second novel. And when I finished that novel I realised that it was not the novel I wanted to write, so I wrote a third novel, and this went on to become The Bit In Between, published a year or so after my return to Australia.
The Author's 'Sun'll Come Up Tomorroooow' Period
Of course, none of this ever truly destroyed the nagging uncertainty that dogs all writers because your goal posts of 'success' shift constantly. But I'm much better at ignoring these voices now and focussing on how I can continue to become a better writer. For me, a big part of this is exploring the opportunities for fiction as a vehicle for social change.
I don't necessarily believe that books alone can change the world, but I think they have a key part to play in this, so I come to my writing now curious about what it might do, rather than what might be done with it, and this is a far more enjoyable state to live in.
The Book of Ordinary People
A grieving daughter navigates the morning commute, her mind bursting with memories pleading to be shared. A man made entirely of well-cut suits and strictly enforced rules swims his regular morning laps and fantasises about his self-assured promotion. A young lawyer sits in a fluorescent-lit office, typing indecipherable jargon and dreaming of everything she didn't become. A failed news hack hides under the covers from another looming deadline, and from a past that will not relent its pursuit. And a young woman seeking asylum sits tensely on an unmoving train, praying that good news waits at the other end of the line…
In this charming, moving and affectionate novel, Claire Varley paints a magical portrait of five ordinary people, and the sometimes heartbreaking power of the stories we make of ourselves.

If you can't see the "BUY NOW" call-to-action button on your ecommerce site from across the room, then it's too small. Don't make your leads hunt to find the product they want to purchase. Many transactions carry a level of impulsiveness, and if your company's site creates "friction" and forces a visitor to pause, you risk losing potential customers at the most critical moment.
As alluded to above, ecommerce transactions need to go smoothly. The main advantage an online store presents over a retail location is that of convenience. Remove that convenience and many visitors will eschew your site. With that in mind, make it a priority to perform regular testing and maintenance on your ecommerce pages. Broken pages, unintuitive redirects, and even slow loading times can confuse and irritate digital visitors. Like anything else, the more TLC you give your online store, the better results you can expect to see from it.
Believe it or not, all businesses can find innovative ways to market products featured on their ecommerce store. Blogging, social-media posts, and well-constructed email threads will all help you get the word out on new or intricate products within your inventory. At the end of the day it doesn't matter if you're trying to promote a vanishpoint blood collection set or an anti-pollution air filter –– solid marketing can make a difference for your company regardless of your industry.
Perhaps there's nothing wrong with your online store. Maybe all aspects are working correctly and your customers have no problem completing their orders. But what about order fulfillment? Indeed, messing up someone's order with an incorrect or massively delayed delivery can wreck all of your good work up to this point. Don't take a risk when it comes to shipping your goods and instead consider reaching out to a third-party logistics company if the problem persists.
Online stores are eco-friendly, cost-effective, and user-friendly. However, that doesn't mean you can take for granted that your digital shopping center will be a smash hit immediately. Always remember to test your site vigorously before launching. After all, it's better to be safe than sorry!

Your coffee cup's filled. The morning sun peeps through the window. And the house is sweetly silent. It's the perfect environment to pursue the freelance life.
Working from home in peace and quiet is certainly a benefit of the freelance life. And it can be a productivity boon.
But spend too much time alone, disconnected, and it can throw you out of balance.
Freelancing can feel pretty lonely, especially when you make the leap from an office job to working from home.
Maybe you're used to lively office conversation, bouncing ideas off a colleague, learning about new tools and software from a co-worker, or getting the inside scoop on bargain-price shopping and happy hour deals.
You might not be sitting next to anyone when you're working on a writing assignment at home, in your pajamas (another perk of the freelance life). But it doesn't have to leave you feeling isolated.
Feeling isolated or need input from a fellow writer? Start with the most mundane of connections: email. "Reach out and type someone" could be the phrase here.
What are you working on? Getting any good gigs?
Just a two-line exchange from a connection can lift your spirits and make you turn to your work with renewed vigor. And you could get the added benefit of your connection turning you on to a new client or suggest partnering with you on a project.
I had an oddball editing question the other day I couldn't find a satisfactory answer for after calling Uncle Google. So I emailed a fellow editor who was able to answer it for me.
A few days later, she asked me about finding audiobook resources, and I was able to help her. We were able to catch up and help each other out, win-win.
Feeling lonely? Do this: Send an email to a fellow writer or contact in your professional network. Say "hello," catch up, and talk shop about freelance projects and deadlines.
Just because you're working from home doesn't mean you can't work with other like-minded writers.
I wrote a novel together with a friend of mine thousands of miles away. The collective decision-making we exchanged was stimulating, fun and definitively produced a better book.
Freelance copywriters collaborating with graphic artists, which I've done many times, works in the same way.
Feeling lonely? Do this: Check in with the graphic designers, editors, marketing managers, and agencies you know and ask if they know of anyone who needs a writer.
Some writers do all their work from a coffee shop. You're still working alone, but you've got the benefit of being around shop workers and patrons. And you can soak in the atmospheric camaraderie typical of most coffee shops.
Sometimes just getting out of the house makes you realize it's nice to be among fellow humans. I typically work from home, but I just got back from an overseas trip where I worked in coffee shops and other places.
Feeling lonely? Do this: Skip your usual work-at-home-all-alone plan, and work from a different location like a local coffee shop, the library, or even a hotel lobby.
If you're lucky enough to live in the same town with colleagues, do lunch, go for coffee, or arrange a meeting in person. It's a great way to catch up, brainstorm ideas, share advice, and stop feeling like you're working in a cave.
And if that doesn't work, use MeetUp.com to connect with other writers and professionals. In most larger cities, it's easy to find people who are interested in entrepreneurship, marketing, or copywriting. This is a great way to get out of the house, do in-person networking, and generate leads.
Feeling lonely? Do this: Arrange a meet-up with another writer or professional contact, or attend an in-person networking meeting in your area.
Here in the Silicon Valley area, co-working spaces are a thing. For a fee, you can secure a space where entrepreneurs of all stripes congregate.
If you don't have the budget for a co-working space, ask around and see if you can work out a trade agreement for co-working space to get out of the house.
Feeling lonely? Do this: Find out if there are co-working spaces in your area or ask your contacts about working at their place instead of yours.
Here's a novel way to stay connected. Pick up the phone, or use Skype, Zoom, or another platform that allows you to talk with someone else.
If you have an accountability partner, a short phone call once a week can be a great way to stay sane and productive.
Calling your clients is a good way to stay connected, too. Of course you don't want to bother a client with busywork or trivial questions. But if there's a complication that's best resolved by a call, set it up and do it.
So often, I've found in such calls that other issues around a project (changing deadlines, new information, side requests) comes your way, when they wouldn't if you'd just emailed.
Feeling lonely? Do this: The next time you need to catch up with a colleague or client, pick up the phone or arrange an online call, instead of relying on email exchanges.
Let's face it. As a freelancer, you have to be comfortable working and producing alone. But that doesn't mean you should wall yourself up in a windowless room with only a daily five-minute break to water your solitary rhododendron.
Say "hi" to the outside world now and then. Make your keyboard dance over a few warm "hellos." Meet up with other writers and professionals in person. Or just pick up the phone. When you reach out to stay connected, you're never really alone.
And you'll have plenty of opportunities to talk to other people, develop relationships, forget about feeling lonely, and build a better freelance life.
How do you handle working alone as a freelancer? Lets discuss on Facebook.

YouTube Secrets by Sean Cannell and Benji Travis is just like the title says—it's the The Ultimate Guide to Growing Your Following and Making Money as a Video Influencer.
This book is a MUST READ for every video creator. It teaches basic fundamentals all the way to advanced SEO strategies for getting your videos seen so that you can make money. I'm excited to get started with putting these strategies to work.
..learning the strategies here, oh my goodness, I know that my videos are going to be found so much better on both of my channels.
Let me tell you about some of the things that are in here. First of all, Sean and Benji talk about the three P's if you're starting a channel. I mean, they take this all the way from if you're just brand new and trying to think of ideas for your channel, all the way through to advanced strategies, and it's fantastic.
So, those three P's are passion, profit, and proficiency, so it's really where all those three items come together is where you're going to find your success on YouTube.
I also love that … Ooh, dropped the book. In here, there's also the 10 … There are 10 different money-making strategies for how your videos can then translate in you making profits for your business, so it's not just … A lot of times, people think it's just for the AdSense money that you get from having ads on your site. For me, it's always been just straight-up selling products, I just want people to buy products on my website, but this gave like 10 whole strategies that you can use.
Mark Zuckerberg has announced that Facebook will be mostly video content by 2019, and studies have shown that the whole Internet will be 80% video by then as well.
So, if you're not doing video yet, now is definitely that time to start. And if you are just starting out, I am going to tell you, I can strongly recommend going to Sean Cannell's channel, THiNK Media. A lot of the decisions I've made for the equipment that I've bought have been just because Sean does such amazing videos, and I really, really respect his recommendations.
Also, there's one other part of his book too I wanted to share, and he shares the seven C's, and I'm reading them off the card here because I couldn't remember them off the top of my head. But we have courage, have courage to be different, and really, really explore that. Have a clarity in your message. You really want to pay attention to your channel and the specifics. Your content, of course. Also, you want to build a community. Think about cash, because you can't really do this forever if you're not making any money doing it. And then, the number seven is consistency, the hardest one. It's so simple, but the hardest thing to do is being consistent.
So, anyway, today, go out there, go to Amazon, you can find this anywhere, really, but YouTube Secrets, highly recommend it. Pick up a copy today. If you like this video, please give it a thumbs-up, and I would love for you to subscribe to my channel. Thanks so much for watching.


DWQA Questions › Category: (EE) Power System › What is load shedding?
Load shedding (load shedding) is a way to distribute demand for electrical power across multiple power sources. Load shedding is used to relieve stress on a primary energy source when demand for electricity is greater than the primary power source can supply.
We get three phase supply in our homes. Load shedding refers to power outage when all the three phases of supply are cut off.
But in villages, people need three phase supply generally to run their motors for pump well. For their lighting needs they don't need three phase supply.
So in that context, load shedding means to cut off only single phase supply, so that their lighting needs can be met and also excess load of the motors is thrown off since induction motors require three phase supply for starting.
Removal of load from supply over certain periods when demand become greater than supply.load shading is also known as rolling blackout. load shedding are in response to insufficient resources inability to meet demand for supply.

Mosh Kashi (born in 1966 in Jerusalem) is an Israeli painter and artist. Senior Lecturer at the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in Jerusalem. In his works, Kashi raises issues that deals with painting in the contemporary era. Kashi's art has been exhibited in Israel and worldwide. He won the Young Artist Award (1994), Artistic Achievement Award (1997) and Ministry of Education (Israel) Culture and Sport Prize (2004).

Early life and education
Kashi was born in 1966 in Jerusalem to an eight-person family. His father Efraim Kashi was a construction worker employed by Solel Boneh, and participated for years in building the Israel Museum. At age 13 Kashi was sent to boarding school in the Ben Shemen Youth Village. These years later produced the series of painting "Cronos", and there he painted wide fields, dark and black from one side to the other. The loneliness, the difference and the feeling of a luck of home in his period of studding in the boarding school, sharpen the idea of the "Non Places" that later appeared as an repeating motto in his works that mainly shows fields, night vegetation, thorns and trees floating from grasping in the ground, as well as his three-dimensional balls painted in entanglement till the last detail, and in 2000 also the porcelain gold balls scattered all over the gallery space.
Between the years 1984–1987, Kashi studied in The School of Art – HaMidrasha, Between the years 1998–2000, Kashi completed his studies for his master's degree in art and education at Bretton Hall College of Education in Leeds, UK.

Career
Kashi first exhibited in 1992, that year he won the America-Israel Cultural Foundation Prize for a young artist. In 1994 he won the young artist prize from the Science and Technology Minister of Israel. In 1996, he received a staying scholarship in Cite Des Arts in Paris, France. In 1997, he received the prize for art encouragement, and in that same year Kashi started to hold a position as a lecture at the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in Jerusalem.

In 2003 Kashi exhibited his works in Landscape Art Forum in Berlin. In 2004 he won the Minister of Education (Israel) Prize for Plastic Arts, and in that same year he received a scholarship on behalf of the Israel's state lottery for an artist book that was released for his solo exhibition "Cronos" that took place in 2006 in Noga Art Gallery in Tel Aviv.
In 2010 Kashi exhibited an installation in his solo exhibition "There Golden Island" that took place in Bialik house Museum, Tel Aviv. In 2012, Kashi was invited to exhibit a solo exhibition of his works in the Tefen Museum. In honor of the exhibition, an artist book was released that was produced and support by the Tefen Museum and Noga Gallery, Tel Aviv.

The works of Kashi can be found in the collecation of public institutions, museums and private collectors in Israel and worldwide such as Israel Museum, Haifa Museum of Art, Tefen Museum and Herzeliya Museum.
Kashi exhibited his works in many exhibitions in Israel and around the world, among them is the Israel Museum, Tel Aviv Art Museum, Haifa Museum of Art, the Tefen Open Museum (Israel), and the Magnes Museum in Berkeley, California. He also exhibited in selected art fairs abroad in Berlin, New York, Paris and Miami.

Style

Kashi is a contemporary pantheist that his painting study field is based on views and imagery from nature. His paintings include fields, trees and entanglement, landscape and wide open space that try to express a place of which time stops, which is timeless and space less. Kashi's paintings are not created as a single painting but are created as a series of paintings. Every painting stands by itself and in every series there's a slow and research like attendance of the chosen subject. This kind of method of work allows Kashi to investigate, analyze and accuracy.

Page 3 (Untitled)
PART III. - VOL. XI.
CORRESPONDENCE, ORDERS, AND RETURNS RELATING TO THE PENINSULAR CAMPAIGN, VIRGINIA, FROM MARCH 17 TO SEPTEMBER 2, 1862.
UNION CORRESPONDENCE, ETC.*
HEADQUARTERS DIVISION OF THE POTOMAC,
Washington, August 8, 1861.
Lieutenant General WINFIELD SCOTT,
Commanding U. S. Army:
GENERAL: Information from various sources reaching me to-day, through spies, letters, and telegrams, confirm my impressions, derived from previous advices, that the enemy intend attacking our positions on the other side of the river, as well as to cross the Potomac north of us. I have also received a telegram from a reliable agent just from Knoxville, Tenn., that large re-enforcements are still passing through there to Richmond. I am induced to believe that the enemy has at least 100,000 men in front of us.
Were I in Beauregard's place, with that force at my disposal, I would attack the positions on the other side of the Potomac, and at the same time cross the river above this city in force. I feel confident that our present army in this vicinity is entirely insufficient for the emergency, and it is deficient in all the arms of the service-infantry, artillery, and cavalry. I therefore respectfully and most earnestly urge that the garrisons of all places in our rear be reduced at once to the minimum absolutely necessary to hold them and that all the troops thus made available be forthwith forwarded to this city; that every company of regular artillery within reach be immediately ordered here to be mounted; that every possible means be used to expedite the forwarding of new regiments of volunteers to this capital without one hour's delay. I urge that nothing be left undone to bring up our force for the defense of this city to 10,000 men, before attending to any other point. I advise that at least eight or ten good Ohio and Indiana regiments may be telegraphed for from western Virginia, their places to be filled at once by the new troops from the same States, who will be at least reliable to fight behind the entrenchments which have been constructed there.
The vital importance of rendering Washington at once perfectly secure and its imminent danger impel me to urge these requests with the utmost carnestness, and that not an hour be lost in carrying them into execution.
A sense of duty which I cannot resist compels me to state that in my opinion military necessity demands that the Departments of North

11 Old Movies You Must Watch ›
11 Old Movies You Must Watch
No. 1 is my favorite.
Sadaf Ayaz
Although upcoming movies are great with their effects and clarity, old movies have their own awesomeness. Let's go back down memory lane and revisit some of the must watch movies from the last few decades.
1. "The Outsiders"
"The Outsiders" is definitely one of my favorite movies—and books—in the world. It takes place in 1960 Oklahoma where a town is split into two classes—the Greasers, low class, and Socs, high class. It focuses on a family of three brothers who try to stick together and their gang. But when the main character, Ponyboy, gets mixed up in a crime with a gang member, Johnny, his life takes an unsuspected turn. My favorite thing about this movie is the strong, familial ties, within the gang.
2. "The Karate Kid"
"The Karate Kid" was one of the first movies I ever watched. This movie is about a boy named Daniel who sets on a path to learn self-defense against bullies. My favorite thing about this movie was the hilarious mentor.
3. "The Good Son"
Now, this movie takes a very depressing turn, which is why I love it. I remember watching it at a very young age and crying at a certain character's death.
This was the first movie to bring tears to my eyes.
4. "3 Ninjas"
I love this movie, similarly to why I love "The Karate Kid." The sense of humor of the mentor, as well as the kids, and also because of how close the brothers are, despite the problems they face once in a while as a family. But that's what makes this movie amazing.
5. "Of Mice and Men"
I read this book with my class, and I hope the teacher who assigned this book goes to heaven for this act of goodness. The movie is about Lenny and George, two men looking for a job. Lenny is mentally handicapped but that's why he has George to take him and help him get out of ridiculous situations. I especially love the book for the dark twist in the end.
No spoilers, but all I'm saying is you won't suspect it.
6. "The Sound of Music"
I remember watching the live version of the "Sound of Music" on TV and then, later on, checking out the original version. Both were absolutely amazing. What I feel makes it memorable is how they show how one person can help change an entire family for the better after going through hard times.
7. "Home Alone"
[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F10%2F23%2F63612796760692087243803889_A1T%252BlZ6iUZL._SY445_.jpg&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=694&h=2b092c32398ce66941984834b96781c9842900f29c3cd8f97733956c3bf3ad75&size=980x&c=1376040574 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F10%252F23%252F63612796760692087243803889_A1T%25252BlZ6iUZL._SY445_.jpg%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D694%26h%3D2b092c32398ce66941984834b96781c9842900f29c3cd8f97733956c3bf3ad75%26size%3D980x%26c%3D1376040574%22%7D" expand=1 original_size="1x1"]
"Home Alone," a pretty common movie of the past, has also been one of my first movies. I love the cleverness of the main character, Kevin, and the idea of being left all alone against robbers.
8. "Matilda"
"Matilda" was one of the most relatable movies I had ever watched. Growing up as an avid reader, I understood what she meant by how much books meant to her. Also, to have superpowers has always been a dream I've had, and Matilda was basically a superhero and regular girl mixed into one person which I really loved
9. Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
"Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" is a movie only thinkable by the one and only genius, Roald Dahl. His books and movies have always been a part of my life, but "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" was the first movie I watched from Dahl, and is a must see.
10. "Jaws"
"Jaws," a classic, was one of the first thriller films I watched, which I highly regret considering all the blood. So I suggest watching this without any little sisters or children around.
11. "E.T. The Extra Terrestrial"
I'm pretty sure I watched "E.T." more than twenty times as a child. Even these days, I take the time to watch this movie with my sisters once in a while. I especially love how attached the main character becomes towards the alien.

Q: Send axios put request to multiple end points by path to express server I am trying to send an axio put request from my react component to my express server.
my code looks like this at the moment:
axios.put(`http://localhost:3001/restaurants/${targetId}`

and my server side looks like this:
app.use('/restaurants');
const router = express.Router()
router.put('/:id', (req, res)=>{
    //perform update here

});

and this works.
but I would like to change my route to this:
axios.put(`http://localhost:3001/restaurants/removeFromFavourite/${targetId}`, {comment, 'too spicy'})

or this
axios.put(`http://localhost:3001/restaurants/addToFavourite/${targetId}`, {comment, 'test great!'})

How should I modify my router so that on express server so that

*

*I have one end point for removeFromFavourite and one end point for addToFavourite.

*parse the comment data.

I tried adding the following:
router.put('/removeFavourite/:id', (req, res)=>{

});

router.put('/addToFavourite/:id', (req, res)=>{

});

but they all went to
router.put('/:id', (req, res)=>{
    //perform update here

THE POSTMAN DELIVERS...AGAIN!
This is why I love sport. Poulter only got into Ryder Cup as a 'captain's pick'. Essentially, a wildcard. But he repaid his captain's faith by securing a vital point that gave Europe another Ryder Cup win.
In a previous blog, I wrote about Ian Poulter's role in Medinah 2012. Refusing to be beaten as he inspired his team-mates to an astonishing comeback. Ryder Cup 2018 has been heavily influenced by him yet again. This time, he came into the Sunday singles session, having gained one point and lost two. He'd played well personally but ended up on the losing side twice on the Saturday.
His opponent for Sunday was Dustin Johnson, ranked number 1 in the world, 33 places ahead of Poulter. You could be forgiven for thinking this game was a write off. On paper it was, but sport is not played on paper and neither is business.
Once again, Poulter relished the role of underdog. A true underdog. Believing not what the computer ranking system says but listening to his self-belief. Punching above his weight to deliver.
It's been an amazingly exciting start to my business venture and I'll certainly be taking inspiration from the latest chapter in Poulter's book for the big moments. Stay calm, believe in yourself and...like 'The Postman'...deliver.

I wrote this post for the wonderful Fido Friendly blog, back in April 2010. I've linked to it from a Dog Jaunt post on the same topic, but the link is now fatally broken, and I can't find the original Fido Friendly post on line. I'm posting it again here, because it's still good stuff.
Travelers with dogs small enough to fit under an airplane seat don't have to wave good-bye as their pet's crate is rolled away, or worry about conditions in the plane's cargo area on the tarmac or during flight. When we were deciding to add a dog to our life, we deliberately chose a breed small enough to fly at our feet. We travel often, and I didn't want to leave our dog behind or add fear for her safety to the usual stress of plane travel. Happily, all of the major U.S. airlines, and many international airlines, allow passengers to travel with an in-cabin dog. Here are ten things you need to know to make flying with your small dog straightforward and comfortable.
Our dog Chloe is as large as a small dog can be and still fit comfortably under a plane seat. She weighs 13 lbs., and stands about 12 inches tall at the shoulder (which is where you measure a dog for height). She is fairly light-boned, however. A sturdier dog her size could weigh up to 15 lbs. If your dog weighs more than 15 lbs., you will likely find that she cannot stand or turn around in her carrier. That kind of freedom of movement is necessary for your dog's comfort, and is required by the airlines.
Please note that very young puppies are not permitted to travel by plane: Nearly all U.S. airlines, and most international airlines, require that your dog be at least 8 weeks old.
A good carrier will be the correct size for your dog, fit under a plane seat, and have features that make your pet's flying experience as comfortable as possible.
The official size maximums for pet carriers vary by airline, but typically describe a carrier between 16 and 19 inches long, about 10 inches tall, and about 12 inches wide (carriers on international flights can generally be a bit larger). The most popular pet carrier is a medium-sized Sherpa bag, but I prefer a large-sized SturdiProducts bag or the Sleepypod Air carrier.
Some carriers are structured to allow them to flex in height and length. You may, therefore, be able to use a slightly larger carrier than is officially allowed, as long as it will compress to fit in a plane's under-seat space. Once you are airborne and you pull your dog's carrier out into your legroom area, a larger carrier will give your pet a bit more room to move around. There is a risk, however, that an airline agent will object to your non-complying carrier.
A carrier must be made of water-repellant material (in case of accidents), it must have padding under your pet, and it must have at least two large ventilation panels. I also look for a carrier that allows me to see down into it when it is at my feet, and that has a zipper that allows me to reach into the carrier and hand Chloe treats and ice cubes.
If your dog only sees her carrier when she's being taken to the vet, she's not likely to regard it as a cozy den. Spend some time in the weeks before your first flight taking your dog in her carrier on short trips to loved destinations (an off-leash dog park, for example). Leave it out so she can curl up in it if she chooses (improve the chances that she'll choose to by tossing treats and her favorite toys inside).
Nearly all airlines limit the number of pets that can travel in-cabin on a given flight. When you make your own reservation, tell the reservation agent that you are traveling with an in-cabin dog to reserve one of the available spots. If you make your reservation on-line, call and add your dog to your reservation over the phone. As of early 2010, only Continental allows you to make reservations on-line for your pet. On most planes, a middle seat offers the most under-seat space, but ask the reservation agent if the plane you'll be traveling on has a bulky electronics box in that space.
If possible, choose a non-stop flight to your destination, to reduce your travel time. If you must change planes, schedule a long layover between flights (at least an hour and a half) to give you time to visit a pet relief area with your dog.
It is very expensive to travel with an in-cabin pet (typically about $100 each way), and you may be tempted to smuggle your pet onboard. Resist the temptation. An increasing number of airlines are adding a special tag to pet carriers upon check-in, and airline representatives will look for that tag. You must remove your pet from her carrier to go through security, so it won't be a secret that she's with you. Finally, another passenger may have a severe allergy to pet dander. The location of in-cabin pets must be known to the airline so they can seat allergy sufferers in another part of the cabin.
Make an appointment with your veterinarian to get a health certificate for your dog (officially called a Certificate of Veterinary Inspection), saying that your dog is fit to travel and is up to date on her vaccinations. Not every state requires a health certificate, nor does every airline, but enough do that it is safest to get one. Schedule your appointment within 10 days of travel, and keep in mind that a health certificate is only good for 30 days after your vet signs it. Both ends of your journey need to be covered by the certificate, so if your trip lasts longer than 30 days, you'll need to get another one in the state you're visiting.
Also ask your veterinarian to print out your dog's shot record. Many hotels like to see it, and if you need to board your dog at a day kennel while you're traveling, the kennel will require it.
If you are traveling internationally with your dog, you will want to research the pet importation rules of the country you are visiting at least two months before you depart, if not more, since the kinds, and timing, of required vaccinations vary by country. A good place to start is the website for the embassy of the country you are visiting.
If your flight is in the morning or the early afternoon, do not feed your dog her morning meal. Pick up her water two hours before you leave for the airport. Just before you leave, take her for a long walk, keeping in mind that you will not be offering her water at the end of it.
Line the inside of your dog's carrier with a DryFur pad of the appropriate size (they're pricey, but they wick moisture away from your dog and don't bunch up under her as she shifts around). Tuck a small towel or a tee-shirt in the carrier for extra padding and comfort. Put your dog's leash and harness and a roll of poop bags in the carrier's pocket.
Your pet's carrier takes the place of your carry-on bag, so the only other object you will be allowed to bring into the cabin is your purse (or other small personal item). Since your pet's carrier occupies all of the under-seat space, your purse will need to be stowed in the overhead compartment. In case your luggage goes astray, or you find yourself stranded at an airport, be sure to pack in your purse enough kibble for a meal or two, a packet of treats, a chew toy, a collapsible bowl, and a water bottle. Don't forget to pack your dog's health certificate and shot record!
If we are driving to the airport, I sometimes let Chloe ride in her car seat (why not give her another half-hour of relative freedom?). If we are taking a taxi, or are in a rush, I will put her in her carrier at home. Toss a really good treat into your dog's carrier to remind her that it's a pleasant place to be. Leave her collar on — you'll be there to make sure it doesn't get hooked on anything, and you want her to have identification if she gets away from you.
Your dog must be fully enclosed in her carrier the entire time that you are in the airport and on the plane. If your carrier has large ventilation panels, she will be able to see what's going on — and there is no rule against reaching your hand in to her carrier to pat her.
You will need to check in with a ticketing agent since you are traveling with a dog. Some airlines allow you to pre-pay your pet's fare, but most will take your payment now. Most will also issue you a tag for your pet's carrier.
Next it's time to go through security. I recommend taking off your shoes and jacket first, and putting them and any other special items you have (3-1-1 bag, computer) into bins before dealing with your dog. Make sure you have a really good treat in hand. Place your carrier on the belt in front of something heavy (your purse, or a bin), so its weight will push the empty carrier through the machine. Unzip the opening, reach in and scoop your pet into your arms. Do not give her the treat yet.
The carrier will go on through the x-ray machine. You'll walk through the metal detector holding your dog in your arms. Even with her collar on, Chloe has only set off the detector twice (when that happened, we sent her collar through separately in a plastic bowl). After you get the all-clear, put your dog back into her carrier right away, showing her the treat and tossing it in ahead of her. Then collect the rest of your belongings.
As with any carry-on, your dog's carrier will need to fit completely under the seat in front of you. Since the under-seat space is generally wider than it is deep, it works best to stow the carrier left-to-right.
During the flight, you can move your dog's carrier out and under your feet. On some airlines, and assuming it doesn't inconvenience your seatmates, you can lift the carrier onto your lap. You cannot, however, take your dog out of her carrier or even allow her head to stick out.
You are allowed to put your hand in the carrier, and during the course of the flight, I will pat Chloe, give her a couple of treats, and two or three ice cubes. I want her to have enough water not to be dehydrated, but not so much that she has to pee.
What if you've miscalculated, or it's a very long flight, and she does need to pee en route? Pack a couple of scented pee pads in your carry-on, and take them, and your dog, to the bathroom when it seems less in demand. Be sure to clean up thoroughly afterwards!
With luck and planning, though, your dog should be able to travel comfortably until you reach your destination. If you have a layover, look online for the location of that airport's "pet relief area" (all U.S. airports are now required to have a place where service dogs and pets can relieve themselves). It generally takes about an hour to exit the airport, locate the pet relief area, achieve your dog's goals, and return through security to your departure gate.
If, despite your best efforts, your layover time has been whittled away to nothing, you can use the pee pad technique in an airport bathroom (you'll have the most room in a handicapped stall). Be sure that no one else is waiting for the stall, and be sure to clean up thoroughly.
What can you do to make traveling easier for an anxious dog? Exercise is important: Make sure that your dog gets a walk just before you leave for the airport, and make it a long one. Include in her carrier her favorite toy, and a tee-shirt that you've worn, so your scent is close at hand. Consider wiping the inside of the carrier with Comfort Zone with DAP, a synthetic pheromone produced by nursing dogs (the TSA-friendly wipes are available on-line, and I've recently tried a D.A.P.-infused collar on Chloe, with some success). Some owners swear by spritz of calming lavender spray, or you could tuck a lavender sachet under the carrier's padding (so your dog isn't tempted to chew it). Others swear by Rescue Remedy Pet, a distillation of floral essences. A drop or two on your pet's tongue, nose or paw may have a calming effect.
Turn to sedatives as a last resort, and only with your veterinarian's approval and prescription. In some cases, they may be necessary and appropriate, but sedatives in general are not recommended even for pets traveling in-cabin, since they tend to affect your dog's balance and impair her breathing.
There's a lot to keep in mind the first time you and your small dog take to the skies, but I promise that these steps become second-nature in time. And the effort is worth it — you and your dog will be happy to be together, and your dog will love the new smells of your destination!
I am traveling in a few days from the Cyprus to New Jersey (with a layover in Paris) and have been making arrangements to take my small dog on the plane. However, when I consulted a vet, she seemed completely against the idea. Not because of my dog's health (she's perfectly healthy and not particularly anxious), but because she thinks the whole experience is traumatizing and uncomfortable and should be avoided at all costs. Now I am not sure what to do. I love my dog and think we'll have so much fun together in the states, but I don't want to cause her undo stress. What do you think? Thanks!
Hello, Zahava — Perhaps your vet knows something about your pup that I don't? All I can do is share with you my experiences, and point you to the blog (and to Dog Jaunt's Facebook page), where you can read about other Dog Jaunters' experiences. In my experience, Chloe is a bit bored by long flights (I'm thinking of our trips from Seattle to Paris), but definitely not traumatized. She, like us, has a little jet lag at first, but shakes it off at the same rate that we do. She ADORES a new city, and meeting new people — and as I've said any number of times, having her along has made our trips much better. People have been kinder to us because she's been out in front of us on a leash, and that's just a fact. It is my strong impression that many Dog Jaunt readers could tell you the same thing. If your pup is comfortable traveling in her carrier for a couple of hours, adding a few more hours is not shattering. If she enjoys trotting around and being patted by folks at home, she'll enjoy it abroad. Unless there's something about your pup's health or outlook on life that would make her unhappy about travel, I say go for it.
Thank you so much. I took the plunge and made our reservation to go back to Florida on October 4. Jet blue with an isle seat a mini schnauzer in a large sturdi bag. I am so nervous about the whole process and will be happy to have the experience behind me. This is our first time.
Deep breaths, Carolyn! You can totally do this. Read blog posts and comments for comfort and support — we're all rooting for you!
Some info that my breeder gave me when traveling with my dog. Don't feed too much if you are traveling in the early am. Get a cup of crushed ice with a lid at the airport so when your dog is thirsty she can eat the ice. Ice doesn't go through the dog as quickly as water. I bring a kong filled with peanut butter or some kibble so I can give it to my dog during take off and landing to help with her ears. I also purchased a small 5″ battery/usb operated fan (O2Cool) that I put near her if it's hot in the plane. I also put her in the carrier often before the trip so she could get used to it. Good luck and safe travels!
It sounds like you have done your research and are doing all of the right things to prepare. My 11 month old Maltese has been to 13 countries on 3 difference continents. I have never had an issue and am meticulous about ensuring the vet gives me the correct paperwork and the airline reserves her a space. I carry the potty pads and find the baby changing room when I have a layover. She did not go to the bathroom for 19 hours on our trip from Europe to Chile although I kept trying to get her to. She just didn't want to go. My stress about her would not allow me to leave her home. I am sure she'd be fine with one of my friends who love her but it is better for both of us to have her with me. Having her carry-on case open at home for her to go in and out of was key. She is comfy and happy there and on the plane for hours. I hope your experience is as good as ours have all been!
Thank you for all your support. I think Bogart will do ok. Thank goodness I finally trained him to go into the sturdi crate as at first he wouldn't go near it. Now I keep it out and when I get his treats out and say go in your house and he rubs in, turns around and lays down. He does get a bit nervous when I zip it closed and pick it up to walk but I have a mild tranquilizer the vet gave me to help him relax. It's going through security that makes me nervous. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for good results. He is a very nervous traveler and does not even like riding in the car.
Hello, Erika! The crucial thing is that you believe he is comfortable in his carrier. That's really the bottom line (well, that and knowing that he's a 14.5 lb. Cavapoo, and therefore, like Chloe, certainly fits in an underseat space). Knowing those things, it's time to dig deep and channel your inner actress. No matter how anxious you really are, as soon as you arrive at the airport, pretend to be calm and confident. As I always say, do NOT volunteer your concerns to any airline rep. Do not ask them for approval or advice. Smile serenely, convey the impression that you do this ALL THE TIME together. It helps to fill gaps in your counterside conversation by cooing down at your pup — keep him down at floor level as much as possible — about what a good little traveler he is. You may sound kooky, but you'll also sound like you've traveled successfully before, and that your dog is a good little traveler. As a bonus, sounding confident and calm will help your dog be calm, and in fact will also help YOU be calm. Psychology is a strange thing. Scroll through the blog and Dog Jaunt's Facebook page to see how many people do this, and with larger dogs than we have. And if you're given a tag on your pup's carrier, keep it on there so that on your return trip, the airline agent will see that your pup traveled to the DR successfully. Deep breaths! You can do this! And hey, please send us pictures!
Thank you so much for your quick response! seeing pictures of Chloe definitely calmed me down a bit since they look pretty similar in size! I'll definitely let you know how it goes! Thanks again!
I haven't traveled on a plane with my dog before, he's a dachshund. I'm flying from Virginia to Oregon with him. He is a good dog but I'm nervous he will bark or cry on the flight. I've read a few of your posts and have a few ideas on how to keep him calm.
Good luck to you, Samantha! Pats and treats are always welcome, and the calmer you can be, the calmer he's likely to be. And exercise is key! The more worn out your pup is, that morning, the more likely he is to snooze through his flight. Please let us know how it goes!
Just wanted to say how grateful I am that you have worked so diligently to get this helpful info out there to the public. I've always been a Great Dane gal, which of course posed a problem as far as airlines go. My hubby works in the film industry and goes away on location for 6 – 8 months at a time. After my best friend (great dane) passed on a few years ago, hubby and I decided we'd opt for a smaller family member that could join me on flights when I go to visit him on location, so we can all be together as a family. Your website has helped us along greatly (especially the reviews on carriers as we're going with a smooth fox terrier who is on the large side of small!). Thank you, thank you, thank you. Your tips, advice, and community you've built here are priceless.
That is so kind, Brandy — thank you for taking the time to send praise. I appreciate it so much (and I too am grateful and psyched that what started out as my personal notes has grown into a community of folks sharing info and helping each other). I hope you and your pup embark on many excellent adventures together. Please send tips and info as you gather them!
I am very nervous about travelling with one of my dogs, Joey (Joe for short). He is a Japanese chin puppy and Japanese chins sometime develop slight breathing problems due to their short faces. Joe hasn't done it but I am really worried that he will during the flight. I asked my veterinarian what to do if he has a severe attack and she said to gently stroke his neck. But Im not sure I can since im not allowed to take joe out of his carrier. I have 3 other puppies and I don't want to leave joey behind. I have a lot of treats for my puppies but what if they throw up from their nerves. You know I'm probably way more anxious then they are *laughs. YEAH…Im a nervous wreck right now.
Hi, Erin! Your Joey should be just the same size as my Chloe, so fitting under the seat should be no problem at all. Indeed, you're not allowed to take him out of his carrier, onboard, BUT you are allowed to pull his carrier out under your knees and you can reach into his carrier to pat him (that's part of the reason I like the large SturdiBag so much, is that it has a very convenient zippered top hatch). Depending on the flight crew, you can also hoist him in his carrier onto your lap. Between all of those options, you should have good access to him. Since he'll be in the cabin with you, he shouldn't be challenged in a way that triggers a breathing problem, so hopefully the whole issue will never arise. Don't be nervous! Keep reading Dog Jaunt posts, and take comfort from all the stories I've posted and other readers have posted about successful (and happy!) trips with their dogs.
