On November 5, VISIBLE PATIENT, a company which stemmed from 15 years of IRCAD R&D, received the 2014 Numeric'Alsace Grand Prize in Strasbourg. This prize rewards Alsace's best digital ideas, strategies, solutions and applications. Visible Patient was created in July 2013, and proposes a new type of surgery guided by 3D virtual imaging for every patient, used before and during the intervention.
This prize rewards IRCAD research quality and the ability to turn this research into quality patient care by using Visible Patient.
Visible Patient consists in extracting a Digital 3D clone of the patient, based on real medical imaging (CT-scan or MRI). It is like a virtual copy of the patient. The operator can then plan or simulate the surgical intervention with no risk for the patient.
All Visible Patient software is free and can be used on a computer or a tablet, which reduces costs and allows to train doctors and future physicians with no additional costs. Another benefit of 3D imaging is that it can be used to explain a pathology to the patient along with its treatment modality in a simpler way.
The jury of the contest was put together by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Alsace region. It awarded the prize to Visible Patient due to its innovative features, and its impact on local activity.
– To position the Alsace region as a dynamic area in terms of digital tool use.
The young Visible Patient company, which is located within the Haras biocluster, now has 18 employees and plans to recruit over 60 people in Alsace over the next 5 years.


RPI Chairman and Founder Ron Paul, over at the Ron Paul Channel, reports this week in a 14 minutes video the story behind the conflict in Ukraine. Paul also criticizes biases in how mainstream television programs cover the conflict, saying "they're part of the banking system, they're part of the military-industrial complex, they're part of an educational system that endorses perpetual intervention overseas." The full video is viewable without the subscription usually required for Ron Paul Channel videos.
"The neocons will go nuts" to impose sanctions in response to recent developments in Ukraine, says Paul, despite following such a course being "exactly opposite" of what the US should do.

What is the name of a 3 cassette tape series for children c.1988-1990, where a woman tells stories and sings?
I had this set as a child, and as an adult, I'm looking for the name of it again so I can hopefully buy/find it out there somewhere. I vaguely recall songs like Lavender Blue, and All the Pretty Little Horses on the tape, as well as stories about some animals that fall into a hole and need help getting out, and a little jungle boy born with something (mana?) in his hand that he doesn't let go of until a nasty jaguar tells him to do it.
I remember that one of the tape covers was blue, one pink, and the other might have been yellow or green, but they all had a characterized sleeping baby on the cover. I can't remember much, but I believe there were several people on the tape singing and telling stories, but my favorites had the woman telling the story. It also had a tinkling sound between the songs and stories.
It was my favorite and I hope to find it again!
Not sure if it's what you are looking for but sounds like some of my faves a a young child. I called them the song sisters. Julie Andrews and her sister Chris? I believe she has a site where you can hear clips of her songs. Mostly singing but the only real story I remember was Goldilocks and the 3 bears.
I don't remember there being colours on the cassettes, but I do remember the lady telling stories. One i di remember is "the princess and the frog" and there was a part in the end where the prince and princess were in a carriage and it sounds like the wheel broke, but the servant says it was just the sound of his heart mending or something. I would really love to find the cassettes.

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease characterized by high blood sugar (glucose) levels that result from defects in insulin secretion or the body's ability to use insulin.
Normally, blood glucose levels are tightly controlled by insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas. Insulin lowers the blood glucose level. When the blood glucose elevates (for example, after eating food), insulin is released from the pancreas. This release of insulin promotes the uptake of glucose into body cells. In patients with diabetes, the absence of insufficient production of or lack of response to insulin causes hyperglycemia. Diabetes is a chronic medical condition, meaning that although it can be controlled, it lasts a lifetime.
What is prediabetes? How is it treated?
Prediabetes is the term used to describe elevated blood sugar (glucose) that has not yet reached the level for a type 2 diabetes diagnosis. It can be treated by lifestyle changes such as consuming a healthy diet, weight loss, and regular exercise.
The major goal in treating type 1 and type 2 diabetes is to control blood sugar (glucose) levels within the normal range, with minimal excursions to low or high levels.
• type 1 diabetes diet.
• Diabetes medications (oral or injected) are prescribed when these measures fail to control the elevated blood sugars of type 2 diabetes.
• If other medications become ineffective treatment with insulin may be initiated.
Note that these medications used to treat type 2 diabetes are typically not used in pregnant or breastfeeding women. At present the only recommended way of controlling diabetes in women who are pregnant or breastfeeding is by diet, exercise, and insulin therapy. You should speak with your health-care professional if you are taking these medications, are considering becoming pregnant, or if you have become pregnant while taking these medications.
5. slow emptying of the stomach, thereby delaying nutrient digestion and absorption in the small intestine.
A preferred drug can provide more than one benefit (for example, lower blood sugar and control cholesterol). Varying combinations of medications can control diabetes. Not every patient with type 2 diabetes will benefit from every drug, and not every drug is suitable for each patient.

You can get more information on the Magic Kingdom by going here. Click on calendar on the left side to bring up a monthly calendar. Then go to November 13th and click on that day to see the individual day schedule for the Magic Kingdom. On the 13th, there will be the Celebrate A Dream Come True parade at 3:00pm. There won't be a nighttime parade for general guests visiting the park for the day, as the Magic Kingdom will close at 7:00 pm that night. It's closing early because on that night there will be a Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party. That's a special hard ticketed event (meaning you just have to buy a special ticket for it). The party starts at 7 pm and runs until midnight. There is a special nighttime parade and fireworks during the party; if you've never done it, I would recommend staying for it. It's a lot of fun! Tickets can be purchased ahead of time or at the Magic Kingdom that day, though Disney sometimes runs out of tickets.

All summer, people have been speculating about which of America's Most Wanted ceos will get off and which will spend time in the pokey. I've consulted my white-collar contacts, including many former Harvard Law School classmates, some of whom may be involved in the various defenses and prosecutions, and I've put together the definitive fall betting guide to who's going to be eating the "loaf" next year and who will still be getting good tables at Da Silvano.
A note on the rules. First, all players are innocent until proven guilty. Second, inclusion in this article implies no guilt, but we can still place odds – and the betting windows will remain open – on those involved in the criminal-justice system until the juries return their verdicts. And finally, the odds can change at a moment's notice.
So, let's start handicapping, beginning with the favorites. The most heavily favored to do hard time are the Rigas folks, the ones who ran Adelphia, the cable company, the way Tony Soprano runs the Bada Bing. (The difference, of course, is that Tony Soprano cares more about shareholder rights than the Rigases did.) I would hate to be the lawyers for these guys. When the case began, they were dealing with two hick grand juries, one out in western Pennsylvania and another in western New York. Suddenly, in a bid to get the Feds involved (to appease Wall Street), the authorities booked the Rigases in Manhattan. Instead of facing juries in which half the members would probably know someone who worked for Adelphia, they are facing a pool that's dealt with the Dolans and got screwed out of their Yankees broadcasts – in other words, a jury that probably hates cable magnates with a passion – and that could cost the Rigases a few minimum-ten-year terms. If they are lucky. So they're even money: 1–1.
The next person most likely to have a dramatic long-term change in lifestyle is Doc Sam, Dr. Samuel Waksal, the former ImClone CEO who stands accused of letting every other Waksal know to sell ImClone ahead of the public. Waksal got offered an incredibly unattractive deal by the Feds and turned it down, but I think he'll come around, if only to give himself better bunking terms at sentencing. Odds on Waksal's doing some solid time in the pen: 5–4.
You also have to expect some major jail time for the clowns who ran WorldCom into the hole. Scott Sullivan, the former chief financial officer, had the good sense to wear a suit and tie for the perp walk, and he looks to be serving a serious chunk of time for trying to hide a $7 billion fraud. Sullivan: 3–2.
I expect Sullivan will try to deliver Bernie Ebbers, the former CEO, as a way to keep his sentence down to less than a decade. Ebbers is the big kahuna, the man the Feds want more than anyone else. Ebbers claims total innocence, not to mention total ignorance, of everything from the way telecom works to what margin buying is. Weirdly, Ebbers has spent the last seven years telling us how he is the smartest telecom operator in the business and knows more about debt than anyone alive. His "I am stupid" defense seems downright foolhardy, which is why I think he's doomed to spend as much time as Sullivan, if not more, behind bars. He's only a moderate payoff, though, because he's the consummate actor and might convince a jury. Ebbers: 3–1.
V???ing the folks from Enron makes for some tricky lines, ones that any bookie would want to lay off. Former chief financial officer Andrew Fastow's got a canary for an assistant, so he seems likely to spend his forties not having to worry about what he's going to wear in the morning. The case is airtight, so you can't expect a big payday. Fastow: 3–2.
Higher up, grave disparities of intellect at the CEO level of Enron mean tougher line-making. For example, it's not clear if former CEO Kenneth Lay understood what Fastow was doing; he seems like a nice guy, but a political doofus. Enron's other former CEO, Jeffrey Skilling, understood all too well, but he's just slippery enough that he might get away with it, the "it" being the bankrupting of Enron. If no one will rat out Lay and Skilling, the case might be too hard to build. Too bad that August numbers-certification stuff happened a year after Skilling left the company, because his Sergeant Schultz defense – "I knew nothing! I saw nothing!" – may work in his favor. Of course, he probably did know, because he was known for running the company with a hands-on style that makes his denials seem perfectly foolish, but if Fastow doesn't cooperate, Skilling's probably home free.
The Feds might try to bring an insider-trading case against Lay, running CNBC tapes that have him hyping the stock at the same time he was dumping it, but proving that Lay knew the company was falling apart will be hard; he seemed to have no knowledge of anything whatsoever. He's the anti-Ebbers, seemingly completely befuddled by it all, but he still should have known better than to accede to all of his underlings' bizarre wishes. Lay: 3–1.
The state's case against Tyco's former CEO Dennis Kozlowski is tougher to handicap. The pursuers are all grit, but the charge, tax evasion, doesn't lend itself to much jail time. Kozlowski: 10–1.
And finally, there's the matter of Martha Stewart, who's still a no-show at the betting window because she's been charged with nothing. Martha's problem has to do with an initial interview she may have given to the Feds about her ImClone transaction. She apparently insisted that she had entered a stop-loss order if ImClone dropped below $60. That would be terrific for her if there were only some sort of corroboration. But no one can find it. These matters tend to get written down, hence the feebleness of the alibi. I guess Martha simply didn't take the investigating process seriously enough, and by the time she had a real lawyer, Robert Morvillo, the alibi was given. Now, my sources say, the Feds simply feel lied to. They hate that stuff; they take it personally. And so now they want justice, or at least they want to prove to a jury that Martha obstructed them. If they bring that case, a white lie to the wrong guys, she goes down for some short but hard time. If they go after her for insider trading, though, they won't get it. Too many he-said-she-saids to gain any jury traction. Let's call a guilty verdict on obstruction for Martha: 15–1.
Now it's time to place your bets, and let the games begin!

Music Recommendation – Single – Gemini Syndrome, "Stardust"
February 8, 2015 ajh0123 Alternative, Gemini Syndrome, Metal, Music, Recommendation, Rock, Single	Alternative, Gemini Syndrome, Metal, Music, Recommendation, Rock, Single
Anyone who was here for Rock music has probably left by now. It has been a good while since I have shared any kind of pure Rock or Alternative music, but Gemini Syndrome's "Stardust" should start a pattern of writing about your parents' favorite genre again.
That being said, Gemini Syndrome are probably closer to Metal than they are Rock. However, "Stardust" is most likely their most universally appealing track from their debut album Lux. It is everything your punk girlfriend will adore in a love song.
I don't have a whole lot to say about the song. Vocals are a bit shakey, but conviction comes off alright and instrumentals are superb. The lyrics are slightly repetitive but the song finds a way to stay interesting. Overall, I would rate the song at:
You can hear the song below and see what you think:
Music Recommendation – Single – Issues, "Mad At Myself"
January 28, 2015 January 28, 2015 ajh0123 Issues, Metal, Music, Recommendation, Rock, Single	Issues, Metal, Music, Recommendation, Rock, Single, Tyler Carter
I have issues (ha) with calling "Mad At Myself" a "Metal" recommendation, per se, because I usually listen to it for Tyler Carter mostly. In case you have not figured out (or typed him into the search bar), Tyler Carter is a favorite singer of mine. "Mad At Myself" is a solid song but also important because I consider the weed of Metal music: it's a gateway drug to liking the genre.
Issues may be the only reason I started listening to Metal (and We Came As Romans a bit). While I have only just starting scraping the surface (which Metal would probably be into, it's a weird genre full of weird people), I can still say that Issues are my favorite Metal group. They balance their sound quite well and are probably the most appealing Metal group. "Mad At Myself" combines an upbeat Rock feel with a tough, but not unnecessarily harsh, tone.
Overall, I would rate the song at:
While an awesome and incredibly well-paced song, "Mad At Myself" is just a bit drawn out. Any Metal fan can appreciate the song's value and find it a perfect balance for any listener, Metal junkie or not. Tyler Carter is still the biggest reason I listen to the song, and I think I would enjoy an acoustic version more (See "Hooligans").
Go ahead and check out the song and its music video below:
Artist Recommendation – Sunroof
December 12, 2014 ajh0123 Alternative, Dance, EDM, Metal, Music, Pop, Recommendation, Single, Sunroof	Alternative, Artist, Dance, EDM, Metal, Music, Owl City, Pop, Recommendation, SayWeCanFly, Sunroof
Montana's own Jeff Simpson, AKA Sunroof, is a dream-core/pop singer who I discovered through Twitter. His music, however, merges numerous genres and is incredibly unique. The sound is something I have yet to hear before.
Simpson has been performing since 2012 and has gathered his works together in his first album Stargazing. This album and its sound have been praised by multiple writers; however, I wanted to add my own input on the experimental electronic-acoustic combinations in his music and share my favorite tracks by the artist.
Along with his own songs, Sunroof has uploaded numerous videos of covers and remixes. There is a serious loyalty to his work, making this hoe loyal. Forgive me if you are reading this Jeff Simpson, I in no way am implying you are a hoe. That is your choice, of course. You may (or please may not) also quote that if you wish.
Among his covers, remixes and original songs, my favorites would most likely be his title track for the album Stargazing, featuring a Alternative/Metal-type sound, Etherea and Time Travel, with their EDM-based basis, and the acoustic-based and longer-than-necessarily-needed-titled I Followed A Dream Out My Window.
My first song I head by Sunroof was Brave featuring SayWeCanFly. This song was also impressive, and I would not skip on any song even if they are not listed in my favorites.
With each song Sunroof brings a different sound. It is entertaining and keeps me wanting to hear more and finish the playlist. It is an incredible feat, and though the vocals can be a bit bland, the sound of the music is always so intriguing that it makes up for it. Overall, I would rate the artist's sound at:
You can go through some of his popular tracks in the SoundCloud playlist below, from his official account. I think anyone could enjoy this music as it can appeal to so many genres. It's funny though, a lot of his beats remind me of Owl City's Fireflies and parts of its sound. That's the first thing I think of when I hear a few, not sure how relevant that was though.
Go ahead and Sunroof a listen below:
Music Recommendation – Single – Feed A Lion A Feline, Misplaced
December 9, 2014 December 9, 2014 ajh0123 Feed A Lion A Feline, Metal, Music, Recommendation, Single	Feed A Lion A Feline, Metal, Music, Recommendation, Single
Despite their cannibalistic name, Feed A Lion A Feline make enjoyable music. Their metal-core music is intense, as their name may suggest. Misplaced is the group's only single on a YouTube stream, but more of their live music can be found on their YouTube channel here.
I do not listen to much from the Metal genre, but I have been diving into it. I do not know much about this frontier, but others have recommended the group and I have heard some positive feedback on the track. If you are a serious Metal-core fan, you might enjoy this vocal-focused track.
Overall, and of course I have little room to judge Metal, I would rate the song at:
Just like the song title, any break from the deep scary voice seems misplaced, though the instrumental is quite enjoyable. I do feel like any Metal fan reading this blog should give this song and the up-and-coming group a chance. I also really wanted to change up my focus a bit with a new genre. You can stream the song below:
Music Recommendation – Single – Issues, Hooligans (Acoustic Version)
November 1, 2014 ajh0123 Alternative, Issues, Metal, Music, Recommendation, Rock, Single, Tyler Carter	Alternative, Issues, Metal, Music, Recommendation, Rock, Single, Tyler Carter
Call me soft, call me any name you want, but I can still say I like Hooligans' acoustic version best and still possess testicles. I've already known Tyler Carter has a great voice, but if anyone ever doubted that, I feel like this song ruins those doubts.
The instrumental sounds amazing throughout and my only honest complaint would be the slight wait before Carter begins singing, which is hardly viable when the whole band sounds great. At this point it is seriously difficult to find a reason to not like Issues as a group, whether you are a Metal fan or not.
I will try to keep this one brief as I want to emphasize the song. Overall, I would rate it at 9.5/10. I seriously recommend a listen below:
Music Recommendation – Single – Flyleaf, Set Me On Fire
October 23, 2014 October 24, 2014 ajh0123 Alternative, Flyleaf, Metal, Music, Recommendation, Rock, Single	Alternative, Flyleaf, Metal, Music, Recommendation, Rock, Single
Okay, I am gonna post this. I promised myself I would do it finally. The reason I have a bit of a problem writing about this song is that I know virtually nothing not only about Flyleaf, but about the Hard Rock/Metal genre in general.
Flyleaf is, as implied by my ignorance above, a Metal/Hard Rock group originating in Texas back in 2002. The group has some age to them now, but have featured a change in vocalists. In 2012 Lacey Sturm departed from the band and Kristen May took the open slot. Therefore, May is the singer on this track.
So this group is Christian metal, which is insane to me that these two genres are combined. I have only heard a couple of other Flyleaf songs but Set Me On Fire is definitely my favorite. The song is passionate and has more of an Alternative/Rock feel to it that I enjoy more than Metal.
The opening right away sets the tone of the song, but the few lines before the hook really stand out. At times, the notes feel a bit long, but it does not take away from enjoying the song. The brief guitar solo at about 1:12 is cut a little short as well, as that was a huge climax in the tune, yet brought back before the bridge. The song is a loud and catchy, making it great pump-up music.
Overall, I would rate the song at 9.25/10. I really like the song for it's genre, and when a song stands out in a genre I tend to not listen to so much, that is impressive. I recommend a listen below:
Music Recommendation – Single – We Came As Romans, Never Let Me Go
October 13, 2014 ajh0123 Metal, Music, Recommendation, Rock, Single, We Came As Romans	Metal, Music, Recommendation, Rock, Single, We Came As Romans
I tend to not listen to a lot of Metal, and almost always stay away from Metalcore (which is why I plan on bringing on someone to the site who fills that gap). We Came As Romans is a Metal group that usually sticks to just that, but I think they should just sing and rock more often. This is a great example of the talent that we should hear more from an awesome Metal group.
I read a lot of hate about the song's distance from true Metal, but as a person who appreciates the sound of vocals over hardcore, I can say that this is some incredible work. The love song is passionate and an excellent listen, though can get a bit old after sitting and listening for a few minutes and the edited pitch can be a bit too robotic for some.
Overall, I would rate the song at 9.5/10. Seriously recommend a listen below, and if you like Metalcore then this band will definitely be a good pick:
Artist Recommendation – PelleK
September 30, 2014 September 30, 2014 ajh0123 Artist, Metal, Music, PelleK, Recommendation	Artist, Metal, Music, PelleK, Recommendation
Metal has never been a genre that I've given many listens. In fact, before I listened to PelleK, I never considered listening to Metal at all. Some artists are just so incredible that they give you reason to have an open mind. The music from PelleK is truly worth mentioning.
PelleK began singing four years ago with his group of fellow Norwegians, and working with the band named after himself, remixed several covers of popular songs, ranging from pop hits to cartoon and anime themes. He began putting a spin on these songs and giving them a taste of Metal. Despite being able to go on tour and perform live, Per Fredrick Åsly chose to continue his YouTube success, granting him over 300,000 subscribers and a little north of 30,000,000 views. I can attest that his covers are incredible, his voice is superb and the art of metalizing popular music is quite awesome.
PelleK has quite the voice, and his Metal creations include both power ballads with soft Metal and hardcore Metal. I've always preferred softer Metal, that is just my own opinion. He pulls off both quite well though, and below I will be leaving my favorite covers by him. They are all great, but my absolute favorites are the Kiss From A Rose cover (this one might even go in the all-timers soon) and his video featuring EVERY Pokémon theme song.
Overall, I would have to rate PelleK and his group at 9.25/10. Again, this is hard because I am not a huge Metal fan, and if I do listen to Metal I tend to stick to a much less intense sound. However, this group and their singer have some serious talent and I would love to hear some power ballads and fast tracks created and written by them. I seriously recommend a listen:

Q: If Obi-Wan and Yoda were trying to keep Luke safe from Vader, why would they let him keep the Skywalker name? Obi-Wan and Yoda didn't really make a good effort at hiding him, especially considering they let Vader's family adopt him.

A: In fact, this worked very well, as Luke remained hidden from Vader and the Emperor until his protector decided to reveal him. Even after that, It took time for them to realize Luke's lineage.
As I explain here, they where not searching for him because they thought Amidala died before giving birth. Even after the first death star's destruction, the emperor didn't realize Luke was Anakin's son before he started his training with Yoda.

A: At best I'd say this is a plot hole and any attempts to explain it are just good tries at ret-conning what we know about how the OT turns out (i.e. Luke and Kenobi were never found) into the story.
Worse, the blame seems to be placed squarely on the prequels.

*

*Luke's dad is discussed in the OT--and they may mention his first name--but I'm pretty sure Anakin Skywalker made its debut in the prequels. Meaning Skywalker could have been Luke's ingognito name until Lucas ruined it. (Vader says Skywalker, but only after he knows Luke's real parentage, so any name he went by would have been said with gravity.)

*Same with Tatooine. We don't know Anakin is from there until TPM. Lars and Veru could have been moved there in hiding and ANH the first time we ever hear about it.

*Lastly, even Obi-Wan could have been explained by a better plot for the prequels. Obviously Vader knows him by that name, based on their chat before the duel on the Death Star, but if RoTS would have ended with Vader thinking Obi-Wan was dead, then him going by Old Ben on some random planet on the Rim would have been plenty low key.

A: First, Vader didn't even know he had a son, so there was no reason for him to even look.
Second, Anakin couldn't wait to get off Tatooine, and there was no reason for him to return.  While it was a time with his Mother, it was also where she died and a place where he was a slave, with someone telling him what to do all the time, which is not something a Sith Lord will want to remember.  So Tatooine is probably the one planet Vader would never want to return to.
Third, Obi-Wan was close to Anakin and good friends with him, so he likely wanted to let Anakin's name pass on to another generation.
Fourth, he's staying with his aunt and uncle.  While they don't have the Skywalker name, as relatives (it's never given exactly how close, since uncle and aunt are sometimes vague terms), it wouldn't be too out of place for them to be raising a Skywalker child.
Fifth, sometimes the best place to hide something is in plain sight.
It clearly worked, since Vader was not aware of him until after Luke blew up the Deathstar and Vader became obsessed with finding "Young Skywalker."

A: From what I have heard originally while the original movie was filmed it was not Lucas' intent to have Darth Vader be Anakin Skywalker so that explains why Luke would have gone by his true last name...

A: It was a perfect ruse if you think about it. As the accepted answer already mentioned the bad memories meant that vader would not go voluntarily to tatooine and if he did he would not stay for long.
And with so many planets in the galaxy a similar name would not be that much out of order. Now in the new canon (the comics) Vader even had met luke personally fighting the young yedi after the death stars destruction and cleaning the floor with him.
He still was intrigued enough by him to send a bounty hunter after him. And only when the puzzle parts fell into place......ben kenobi training luke, giving him anakins old light saber AND luke being from Tatooine and a jedi AND having the Skywalker name.....only then vader understood the ruse that happened and that he had a son.
Thus hiding luke right in the open was the most sure way for people to overlook him (especially as nobody had searched for him or was aware that he was force sensitive).

A: This answer is pretty much conjecture, and dips out of G-Canon, but:
The Emperor had the power to foretell the future (although, whether entirely accurately or not is up for debate).
The Sith have a tradition where, either the apprentice kills the master and takes on a new apprentice, or the master engineers the failure and death of the apprentice and replaces them.
It is entirely possible that the Emperor did know about the Skywalker children, but kept them a secret from Vader as some long-term gambit to force a Sith succession (which the scenes in the Death Star Throne Room can be interpreted as).

A: According to Leland Chee in Star Wars Insider #115, it was Owen and Beru's decision to keep his last name in order to honor Shmi Skywalker. He suggests that either Skywalker was a fairly common name, or that no one made the connection between Luke and Anakin.

Why didn't Obi-Wan and Luke change
their surnames when they were in hiding
on Tatooine?
Let's start with Obi-Wan. He's a hermit
living in a very remote hut on a very
remote planet that Obi-Wan knows that
Anakin hates going to. Obi-Wan's not
gonna be throwing his name around
everywhere he goes, aside from the
Larses and maybe some close neighbors.
Still, he adopts the first name Ben just in
case. It was Owen and Beru's decision to
give Luke the last name Skywalker in
reverence to Owen's stepmother and
Luke's grandmother, Shmi Skywalker.
Granted, Anakin Skywalker made a name
for himself throughout the galaxy as a hero
of the Clone Wars, though he also made
a name for himself on Tatooine as the
only human to compete in and win the
Boonta Eve Podrace. And yet, throughout
his childhood. Luke never knew anything
about a Skywalker being a great Jedi or
a famous Podracer. We can only assume
that there are many other Skywalkers
in the galaxy and Luke never made the
connection or heard of these stories.

A: To add to the best answer above, Skywalker may very well have been a slave name or a bastard name on Tatooine or even in that part of the Galaxy.
I personally like this because it concludes that twice a Skywalker (slave/bastard) goes on to become the most powerful individual in the Galaxy.
For me the only plot hole is that Vader never once noticed in 20 years that his "family" Mr. and Mrs. Lars were raising a Skywalker.

A: Seems no one thought of perhaps the obvious possibility, that Skywalker may not be so unique of a name? We are talking about a populations the size of a galaxy after all.

Building upon a previous publication released in 2012, a coalition of national organizations (including Achieving the Dream, American Association of Community Colleges, Charles A. Dana Center, Complete College America, Education Commission of the States, and Jobs for the Future) convened in November 2015 to revise the core principles for transforming remediation with a focus on scaling practices that promote student success in obtaining postsecondary degrees.
National studies reveal that 50 percent to 70 percent of community college students enter school each year unprepared for college-level mathematics and must take a series of developmental, or remedial, courses to build their skills before they can enroll in a college-level mathematics course. As these students continue to stumble over their mathematics courses, there has been growing awareness that the types of mathematics skills required in many of today's professions differ from those skills taught in traditional college mathematics courses.
This report from iNACOL explores how online and blended learning can provide schools with innovative ways to implement credit-recovery programs. Such programs allow students to move through the curriculum and achieve mastery at their own pace, which makes these programs especially beneficial to older students who are missing a large number of credits and do not have time for the traditional classroom.
The alarming numbers of college students who require remedial education courses continue to stir concerns within state policy, education and research circles. At least 20 to 25 percent of students at four- and two-year institutions require at least one remedial course, with the numbers reaching upwards of 60 percent at some community colleges.
Getting Students on Track to College and Career Readiness: How Many Catch Up from Far Behind?
This report reviews the research on how students who are far off track in preparing for college can catch up in four years. The study examined data from four nationwide cohorts of students whose EXPLORE scores were 1 standard deviation below the benchmark scores associated with being on track. The authors found 10 percent or fewer students who were far off track in eighth grade met ACT College Readiness Benchmarks by twelfth grade.

Brian McKim p1
READERSVOICE.COM aims to collect a few interesting reading tips. This issue features Brian McKim who is a standup comedian who lives and performs in Las Vegas. Mr McKim gives some good insights into how he creates gags. He also gives some good book tips, including a biography of a comedy great, and an autobiography of a comedy actor turned tv executive...
Brian McKim has performed in the comedy industry for more than 30 years. He and his wife standup comedian Traci Skene wrote The Comedy Bible, which is a great book for anyone wanting to learn about standup, sketches and sitcoms. It covers topics like the premise or idea, which is then developed into a joke; stage personas; and much more. It has a cult following and the authors are thinking of republishing it as an ebook.
He and Traci Skene also have an excellent comedy podcast, The SHECKYmagazine Podcast. This can be heard on brianmckimcomedy.com. Their latest podcast was on old comedy albums, and covers a lot of the history of standup comedy. In their podcasts, they discuss issues relevant to comedy today, and crack jokes along the way.
Check out some of Brian McKim's standup on youtube.
READERSVOICE.COM: In the chapter on script writing in The Comedy Bible, you and Traci Skene recommend reading biographies and other showbusiness book to see how the industry works. Can you recommend a few biographies or autobiographies of comedians, or other non fiction books on showbiz, that you've liked over the years?
BRIAN McKIM: I recall two in particular: How Sweet It Is, The Jackie Gleason Story by James Bacon is tremendous as it details Gleason's life and subsequent rise to the top of the television heap. I picked it up in a thrift shop. I also picked up, on a different trip, Dwayne Hickman's autobiography, the name of which escapes me [Forever Dobie]. I read it on an airplane trip and left it behind– intentionally, creating a lending library in the sky! I wish I had it back!
Hickman was sort of a contemporary of Gleason's– The Lives of Dobie Gillis was on TV from '58 to '63; Gleason's show was #1 a few years earlier. After his TV career dwindled, he became a "suit" for one of the networks. His account of those days is fascinating and provides insight into how TV is made. Not a pretty picture!

A collaborative project between BirdLife South Africa, Airports Company South Africa (ACSA) and Albert Froneman Consulting.
Bird strikes with aircraft cost the international aviation industry millions of dollars per annum as a result of direct damage to aircraft and indirectly due to delays caused by aircraft down time.
O.R. Tambo International Airport (ORTIA) has a world class wildlife hazard mitigation program in place with six permanent staff using a range of methods to address the risks posed by birds on the airfield. The programme is highly effective in addressing bird presence on the airfield. Hazardous bird species often occur in large numbers in areas immediately adjacent to the aerodrome and either fly over the airfield passing through aircraft approach and departure paths or they come to the airfield to feed. Grey-headed Gulls (Chroicocephalus cirrocephalus) are a typical example of a species that occur in large numbers on the pans and shallow wetland areas or open fields around the ORTIA, Johannesburg, South Africa. The wildlife department at the airport maintains a detailed database of bird strikes as well as bird presence and abundance on the airfield. Data from the past 17 years indicate that Grey-headed Gulls rank as a high-risk species at the airport. Given that the gulls often congregate in large colonies near the periphery of the airport and from there venture onto the airfield, it is particularly difficult to mitigate the risks they pose as potential bird strike victims.
In order to develop an effective mitigation strategy to reduce the risk of collisions between the high density Grey-headed Gulls and aircraft at ORTIA, BirdLife South Africa and its collaborators are working together to fill the current knowledge-gaps about the daily and seasonal movements of the Grey-headed Gulls which live close to the airport. The gulls are typically present in larger numbers during the autumn and winter season. It is suspected that the birds forage in a wide area around the airport at landfill sites, shopping malls and various other sites such as compost facilities. Large scale breeding seems to also not take place every year near the airport but the aviation safety risk is significantly elevated when gulls breed in their thousands next to the airport. Gull presence and abundance is much lower during the warmer summer months.
With such information, a better management / conservation strategy could be developed for the Grey-headed Gulls and areas could potentially be identified where breeding could be encouraged at localities where their presence and movement patterns would not pose a threat to aircraft landing and departing from the airport runways.
This project has been approved by the Gauteng Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (Permit Number: CPF6-000203) and undergone stringent ethical clearance by the BirdLife South Africa Ethics Committee (Application Number: 2017_01_B).
This project will use Milsar S9 Radio/GSM solar trackers. These devices are manufactured in Poland and use a solar charging system and the GSM network to log the position and speed of the birds at specified intervals.
Satellite tracking devices have not been attached to Grey-headed Gulls in South Africa before and it was thus decided that prior to the deployment of the selected birds into the field, two "test birds" should be caught and housed in captivity for at least a week. This would allow for the team to monitor the impacts of the tephlon harness and a "dummy" tracking device on their health and well-being. Johannesburg Wildlife Veterinary Hospital were kind enough to provide the two birds with a place to stay during the test period and monitored them twice daily. After extensive testing of the effects of different harness designs on the birds, a suitable fit was found and preparation for the deployment of the three tracking devices was made.
Many ideas were discussed regarding the most effective method for trapping Grey-headed Gulls near ORTIA. After some trial and error, mist nests (fine meshed nets placed between two poles) strategically placed around a lure (a dummy owl) worked out to be the easiest and most efficient way to attract and capture the Grey-headed Gulls. All birds were handled quietly and swiftly to ensure minimal stress. Once the harness and tracking device were attached, the birds were immediately released.
The trackers connect to the online server through the GSM network once a day and data points are downloaded for analysis at the end of each month. The preliminary movements of the birds can be seen below.
Find out more about our three Grey-headed Gulls below. All birds were caught, fitted with trackers and released near O.R. Tambo on 22 August 2017.

We are followers of Jesus, who tend God's garden, Serving the Mind, Body and Spirit of all God's children.
From the Pastor | What is Church?
The nature and mission of the church is to be an agent of transformative change, first in the individual, then in the congregation, and then in the world. The church is both public and private. The workings of a church occur within the soul and outside into the wider community. Jesus began the church with one person. In Matthew 16 after Peter openly declares that Jesus is the son of the living God, Jesus calls the church into being. The word he uses, ekklesia, has as its root a verb whose sense can be to call out or call together. We are therefore called to gather into a community by Christ and we are called to go forth into a community. It is significant that Jesus speaks the church into being after the one (Peter) declares who Christ is. Jesus starts a community with one person. We are the body of Christ because we step forward and choose to be.
While the church has a private function, where the individual is touched by the various forms of worship: song, prayer, sermon, liturgy, symbol, and sacrament, these functions almost always take place in a public setting. The individual may also be moved by acts of service that church supports or sponsors, whether as participant or receiver, but here too, the individual almost always engages in these acts with others. Therefore, while the action of church moves the individual, that action is operative in community.
A church that is not active is like Lazurus.
One of the primary functions of the church is activity. The church that is not active is like Lazarus, dead, possessing of potential but without the Spirit to animate it. In 1 Corinthians, Paul calls the church the body of Christ. A healthy body is active, it moves in the world, it interacts with its fellows, it learns and grows and changes and contributes. The phrase body of Christ implies that Christ is the animating force that moves and drives the body. Just as the Holy Spirit enables the individual to come to Christ, it is the Holy Spirit that does or does not descend into a church and allow Christ to move the body.
When I began to think seriously about answering the call to ordained ministry, I immediately ran across the term "missional" which seemed to mean active engagement in the world right outside our doors.
It means spreading the gospel Good News.
It means looking at my town, my state, my nation, as a mission field.
It means to go out.
I take such a message seriously, and I believe it is rooted in more than a contemporary church renewal movement. I believe the mission of the church is rooted deeply in scripture both Old and New.
In the first two chapters of Genesis, creation is described twice. This is no accident. Chapter one is a majestic and cosmic account of divine creative intent. The second chapter is pastoral and bucolic. In the first chapter God states three times that he creates humanity "in His image." In the second chapter He places humanity in the garden with the express purpose of stewardship. This is our primary command: to "tend the garden." When we do so, we are acting in the image of God. When we fail to do so we are reenacting the Fall. When we are creative, we act in the image of God. When we are destructive, we are acting out of fear, the consequence of the Fall. The church's first function is to creatively tend the garden.
In the last of the Gospels, the final words of Jesus are "Follow me!" In the earliest gospel, Jesus tells us to repent (turn) and believe. As Wesley so clearly articulated, it is impossible to do anything good without surrender to Jesus through the working of the Spirit. The task of the church is to help people come to know Jesus and to be the vessel through which the Spirit can more easily work. In order to make this possible, the church cannot stagnate, it cannot expect that people will come to it, it must go forth into the community and be a place where people come to find sanctuary and challenge. It must be a place where love in all its forms; acceptance, discipline, nurture and example all mesh. Church has been described as a hospital for the soul. We are all patients and we are all called to be ministers. The purpose of a church is to help us grow in love.
From the Pastor | What's in a name?

KU Throwers Compete at Missouri Relays
COLUMBIA, Mo. – Six throwers from the Univeristy of Kansas track and field teams competed at the Missouri Relays Friday and Saturday. Junior Jen Widerstrom highlighted the event as she rebroke her own school record in the hammer throw.
Widerstrom broke the KU record last season at the ESU Spring Twilight meet and improved on that record Friday with a best toss of 182-01. She finished as the top collegiate and second overall.
The Jayhawks recorded two more victories on Friday. Junior Sheldon Battle won the hammer throw, improving on his regional qualifying performance with a throw of 184-10. Fellow junior Colin Dutton finished fifth in the event with a toss of 176-10.
In harsh weather conditions, KU junior Denita Miller made it two for two on the year as she won the women's javelin with a throw of 149-01.
On Saturday, Battle got his second win of the meet in the discus. The Jayhawks finished one, two in the event with Battle throwing 188-07, while sophomore Cody Roberts also joined the regionally qualifying ranks with a second place, 173-02 effort.
Junior Gavin Ball turned in a season best, regionally qualifying effort of 59-04.25 as he won the shot put.
The KU throwers and the rest of the Jayhawks will compete in two events next week. Most of the team will travel to Austin, Texas for the Texas Relays, which will be held April 6-9. The group that does not travel to Austin will head to Emporia, Kan., for the State Farm-Euler Invitational on Saturday.


The two most famous hand scrolls of the painting academy of the Ming dynasty (AD 1368-1644) are entitled The Emperor's Procession. Formerly kept in the Ching Forbidden Palace, they are now in the collection of the National Palace Museum. Taipei, Taiwan, Republic of China. The imperial procession pictured on the two hand scrolls is a presentation of a journey taken by the Ming Emperor Shih-tsung (the 12th emperor of that dynasty reigned 1522-1566) from his palace in Peking (now Beiping) to visit the imperial tombs at Cheng-tien in Hupeh province, and his return to Peking. In the first of the two hand scrolls, called Departure, the procession departs from the palace for the imperial tombs by land route, men and horses in procession, moving from right to left. In the second, called "Return," they return from the imperial tombs to the palace via waterway, moving from left to right. Watercolor and ink were used in the painting of these two silk hand scrolls. The height of both paintings is 92.1 cm.

FILL A MEMORY BOX with photos and memorabilia, then position it near a person with dementia. It works wonders to help "re-orient" them with surroundings, trigger conversations with visitors, find their room, and mostly, recall memories of good times. See how.
Great idea if the person with dementia doesn't tear them apart, as it happed at my house.
Why on earth would you create something like this behind glass? Why not keep these items in a basket or open box? Lovely idea, but this implementation isn't really practical.
If you look at the various cabinets below the video offered by Amazon, you can see that half of them use no glass (in the lower two rows). The glass is an option for situations where it is appropriate, but you can certainly do a beautiful memory box that has no glass whatsoever. Best of luck.
I agree my Husband would probably break it.I have to keep everything put up that can hurt him.I sure font want a glass cabinet.
It's easy to make a memory box without glass.


Recently, a strange development has occurred in the killer doll universe: Chucky has split in two. Franchise creator Don Mancini has continued to keep the original character alive through direct-to-video movies, along with the original voice actor Brad Dourif and crew (and recently, his daughter). MGM, however, wants to reboot the series with a new Chucky, new director, everything.
Who won out? Both people. Syfy announced today they've approved plans to move forward with Mancini's proposed Chucky TV series, which would continue the events of the most recent on-demand feature, Cult of Chucky. The reboot, meanwhile, is under production and is scheduled to appear in theaters this summer.
We're not clear as to what the legal entanglements are here, but apparently MGM is allowed to reboot Child's Play without input from Mancini, and Mancini is allowed to make Chucky-centric TV and film projects without MGM. However that works, we're not sure. But it means two different Chuckies are being crafted concurrently.
The other Chucky was unavailable for comment, but we can't imagine they would be happy to meet each other. Things would get stabby rather quickly.

Injuries to the nervous system and spine in downhill skiing
Can J Surg. 1992 Dec;35(6):643-8.
S T Myles 1 , N G Mohtadi, J Schnittker
1 Division of Neurosurgery, Alberta Children's Hospital, Calgary.
The authors describe injuries to the nervous system and spine from downhill skiing accidents through a review of the charts of downhill skiers admitted over 5 years to the three teaching hospitals of the University of Calgary. The office of the chief medical examiner provided details about accidental deaths from downhill skiing in which nervous system trauma occurred. During the study period, 145 downhill skiers suffered injury to the nervous system or spine. There were five deaths from nervous system trauma. The mean age of the injured skiers was 23.8 years, and these injuries were three times more common in men than in women. Eighty-eight skiers sustained a head injury, 25 had spinal fractures alone, 20 had spinal cord or nerve root injury and 12 had peripheral nerve injury. A simple fall on the hill was the commonest method of injury, followed in frequency by collision with a tree, which caused the most severe injuries. Reckless skiing, design of ski runs and man-made snow were contributing factors. The serious nature and number of these injuries must be recognized, and further study is needed on causal factors and preventive measures.

On 14 October 2017, two truck bombings took place in Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia, killing at least 587 people and injuring 316.[1] Almost all of the casualties were caused by one of the trucks, which detonated when the driver, while attempting to escape from security officials, crashed through a barrier and exploded in the Hodan District, destroying a hotel; the actual target of the attack is believed to have been a secure compound housing international agencies and troops. The second blast happened close by, killing two. A third explosives-laden truck was captured by police.
Though no organisation claimed responsibility, officials stated that a key member of the cell that carried it out told them Al-Shabaab was responsible.[2]
The attack is the deadliest in Somalia's history, surpassing the 2011 Mogadishu bombing that killed 100 people, and the deadliest in Africa.[3] It is also the third deadliest terrorist bombing attack and the seventh-deadliest act of terrorism in modern history, surpassed only by the 1990 massacre of Sri Lankan Police officers in Sri Lanka, the 2008 Christmas massacres in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, 2007 Yazidi communities bombings, the 2014 Camp Speicher massacre in Iraq, and the September 11 attacks in the United States.[4] In response to the bombings, Somali president Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed declared three days of mourning.[5]

During the summer of 2011, the East African region faced a drought and shortage of food supplies, particularly in the Somali region, forcing tens of thousands of people to cross the borders into Ethiopia and Kenya for refuge.[6] Al-Shabaab, a jihadist fundamentalist group designated as a terrorist organization by several countries, threatened to expel the aid groups working in the area before the African Union's AMISOM troops took action to force the al-Shabaab fighters out of the region.[7][8]
In July 2010, al-Shabaab also claimed responsibility for a bombing in Kampala, Uganda, in retaliation for Uganda's support to, and presence in, AMISOM.[9]
In 2017, Somalia was continuing to suffer its worst drought in 40 years, with climatic catastrophe compounded by war and poor governance. Al-Shabaab banned humanitarian assistance in areas it controls, forcing hundreds of thousands of people to choose between starvation or brutal punishment.[10]
The United States had a military involvement in Somalia until 1994, and had then withdrawn. Earlier in 2017 the US designated Somalia a "zone of active hostilities" (allowing it to apply looser rules and oversight concerning the authorization of drone strikes and ground operations),[3] and the deployment of regular US forces to Somalia was again authorized.[10] This saw America's ground forces in Somalia increase from about 50 in 2016 to 400 in 2017.[3]
The bombings occurred amidst deep public discontent and political divisions between federal and regional leaders.[3]
On 14 October 2017, a large truck filled with explosives was detonated at a busy crossroads near the Safari Hotel in the Hodan District, at least a kilometre from the Medina Gate.[11][2] The effect of the bombing was compounded by a fuel tanker parked nearby that caused a massive fireball.[12] Sources close to the government said that the truck contained 350 kg of home-made and military-grade explosives. The truck had been briefly detained at a checkpoint, but was allowed to proceed after local authorities vouched for it; it was then stopped by security officials while stuck in a traffic jam. When it was about to be searched, the driver accelerated and crashed through a barrier, and the truck exploded. The Safari Hotel collapsed, trapping many under its rubble, and the Qatari embassy was severely damaged.[11]
According to a Somali intelligence official investigating the attack, the truck was overloaded and covered with tarpaulin. The dust on it aroused the suspicion of soldiers at a checkpoint outside Mogadishu. The soldiers ordered the driver to park and get out, with the assailant calling a well-known man who vouched for the truck. After passing the checkpoint, the truck sped through another one where the soldiers fired at it and flattened one of its tires. The driver parked on a busy street and detonated it.[13] A senior police official investigating it stated that it was packed with 2 tonnes (2.2 U.S. tons) of explosives.[14]
A Toyota Noah minivan loaded with explosives was also intercepted and stopped; it later detonated without casualties.[2]
Officials said that the target of the attacks was the heavily guarded Mogadishu airport compound, where the United Nations, most embassies, and the headquarters of the 22,000-strong AMISOM, are based. The minivan was to blast open the Medina Gate entrance to the compound to allow the truck with more explosives to be driven in and detonated. The possibility of complicity of personnel manning vehicle checkpoints was being investigated,[2] after claims the first truck was stopped at two checkpoints en route to Mogadishu without any cargo inspection.[3]
A second bombing occurred about 30 minutes later, less than 300 metres away,[3] killing two people in the Medina district.[15]
As of 4 March 2018, 587 people had been confirmed killed.[16] The explosion took place on one of the busiest streets in Mogadishu; victims included senior civil servants, five paramedic volunteers, a journalist, an American-Somali man, a medical student and 15 children.[17] The full death total may never be known with certainty, as the remains of many people would not be found due to the intense heat (which could be felt 100 metres away from the scene),[3] and others were buried quickly by relatives following Islamic custom. Around 160 bodies could not be recognised, doctor Aden Nur said, and they were buried by the government the day after the bombing. Over a hundred injured were taken to the Madina hospital—one of six overcrowded nearby hospitals.[12][3]
While no group has admitted responsibility,[15][18][19][20] officials believe the attack was made by a cell of the group al-Shabaab, following statements made by a key member, a veteran militant who had taken part in previous attacks in Mogadishu, with investigators believing the attack may have been motivated out of desire for revenge for the botched United States-led raid on his hometown in August.[2] He was arrested while driving a second explosives-packed vehicle into the city on the day of the explosion. An official said that the man had confessed, and was proud of what he had done, which he said was for jihad. Another official said that the bombs were hidden under rice, sugar and other goods in the truck. The driver was detained but a local businessman and tribal leader vouched for the truck. The official stated they were investigating whether the attackers had help from within the security forces.[12] A Somali intelligence official stated that the man who vouched for the truck had been arrested.[13]
In February 2018, a military court in Mogadishu sentenced two people to death for their role in the bombings. According to the court, Hassan Aden Isak was driving a truck intended to be used in a second bombing on the day while Ibrahim Hassan Absuge was sentenced in absentia for the bombings as well, and is also accused of masterminding the November 2016 Mogadishu car bombing, which killed 20 people.[21]
The Somali president, Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed, declared three days of national mourning. He and hundreds of other Somali citizens donated blood.[22] "Today's horrific attack proves our enemy would stop (at) nothing to cause our people pain and suffering. Let's unite against terror," he said on Twitter.[23] "Time to unite and pray together. Terror won't win."[24]
The United States Department of State expressed condolences to victims and wished a quick recovery for the injured. It called the attack "senseless and cowardly" and said it would stand with Somalia against extremism.[25]

Q: Styling the clickedit output I am using clickedit plugins that edit the label and output the edited text. What I am aiming to do is format the output after clicking and editing the label.
HTML:

        KTR-2-KTR2-PR-C-00002

<input class="form-control clickedit" type="text"/>

JavaScript:
// EDIT ON CLICK
var defaultText = 'Click To Input Custom PO Number';

function endEdit(e) {
    var input = $(e.target),
        p = input && input.prev();

    p.text(input.val() === '' ? defaultText : input.val());
    input.hide();
    p.show();
}

$('.clickedit').hide()
.focusout(endEdit)
.keyup(function (e) {
    if ((e.which && e.which == 13) || (e.keyCode && e.keyCode == 13)) {
        endEdit(e);
        return false;
    } else {
        return true;
    }
})

.prev().click(function () {
    $(this).hide();
    $(this).next().show().focus();
});

My question is how do I generate the same format as the initial text?

A: You can create a class in css like
.color-text{ color : #F00;}

And in click event add this class.
$('selector').addClass('color-text');

Purchasing a wallaby or a wallaroo is not as easy as going to your local pet store. You may not be able to find a breeder in your immediate area.
If this is the case, I strongly advise against having a joey shipped to you. It would be far preferable for you to drive to the breeding establishment to pick up the animal.
Young joeys are shy and sensitive by nature. They are extremely susceptible to changes in temperature and humidity, and crave the feeling of security that comes with growing up in their mother's pouch.
For these and other reasons, many breeders will not even consider shipping the animals, so you may need to factor travel costs into your initial purchase expense.
1.) Buying in the U.S.
In the United States, in order to obtain legal animals that have been raised in good circumstances, contact dealers online.
Buffalo Hill Exotics in Centralia, Illinois raises both Bennett's and Dama wallabies in addition to miniature horses, red kangaroos, miniature zebra, cattle, buffalo, Bactrian camels, and miniature long-haired dachshunds.
Valley Stables Exotics of Berea, Kentucky offers Bennett's Wallabies in addition to African Serval Cats, African Caracal Lynx, miniature llamas, and a range of other animals.
The Fall City Wallaby Ranch located in Fall City, Washington also offers Red Kangaroos in addition to Grey and Albino Bennett's Wallabies.
2.) Buying in the U.K.
The last thing you want is to go through the trouble to find a quality macropod breeder only to bring your pet home and discover it is suffering from a health problem.
