Q: Target specific value of a node with jQuery OK, I basically have the following scenario with some dynamically generated html:

        Learning outcomes

...
Basically I want to be able to show/hide objects of class "item" using the unique id referenced within, but am struggling to target it.  Any thoughts appreciated
$("#main-hold").hide();

Successfully hides everything, but I haven't been able to drill down to the id level.

A: These are your possibilities:
Hide all elements of class item
$(".item").hide();

Hide all elements of class item that are a child of #main-hold:
$("#main-hold .item").hide();

Hide all elements of class item that are a DIRECT child of #main-hold (this isn't the case for you, but wanted to add for clarity):
$("#main-hold > .item").hide();

Hide all elements of class item that are of type li and are a child of #main-hold:
$("#main-hold li.item").hide();

A: as i understood, you somehow know the unique id of items, you want to hide...
if your html is always like that - and the id is a child element of item, you would do it like that:
$("#theDesiredID").parent().hide();

A: Here, try this one, hope this help :
$(document).ready(function() {
   $('.item #12365').hide();

   $('#main-hold').on('click','.item', function(){
      $('.item #12365').toggle();
   });
});


Cities can build on federal protections to prevent housing discrimination. The federal Fair Housing Act prohibits discrimination in housing based on race, color, religion, gender, country of origin, family status, and disability. In addition, the Housing and Community Development Act requires that localities receiving Community Development Block Grants, or CDBG, take steps to "affirmatively further fair housing," such as analyzing and eliminating housing discrimination, promoting fair housing for all persons, and providing for inclusive patterns of housing occupancy.
Nevertheless, residential segregation still exists in the United States, and housing discrimination is a sad fact of life for many Americans. As a result, cities across the United States have taken innovative steps to deal with the problem and expand upon the federal government's commitment to fair housing.
Such steps include expanding the federal prohibition to include discrimination on the basis of source of income, arrest or conviction record, gender identity, sexual orientation, previous housing status, and citizenship status. Cities can conduct education and outreach on fair housing law and tenants' rights, especially in vulnerable or limited-English-speaking communities. Local governments also fund fair-housing testing services and bring enforcement actions against housing providers who discriminate against protected classes.
To encourage such measures, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) announced a new rule on July 2015 meant to equip communities that receive federal funding with data and tools to help them meet fair housing obligations. The rule requires cities and towns that receive Federal money to examine their housing patterns and look for racial bias. The rule aims to promote racial integration, particularly in cities such as Chicago and Baltimore, which have neighborhoods with a high preponderance of African American residents.

In Madison, WI, ordinance 39.03 of the municipal code prohibits discrimination based on source of income, arrest or conviction record, and gender identity as additional protected classes. The ordinance, which was approved in 1963, encompasses 23 protected classes.
In New York, NY, the Commission on Human Rights enforces the City Human Rights Law, which protects individuals from discrimination in housing based on lawful source of income, occupation and citizenship status, among others.
On February 2016, the city council of Chicago, IL, approved amendments to the Human Rights and Ordinance and the Fair Housing Ordinance, expending the protection from discrimination in housing and other areas for veterans and active duty military personnel. The amendment created a new protected class under the ordinances for "military status," which also includes reservists and members of the National Guard.
Miami, FL, has filed suit on December 2013 against Bank of America, CitiGroup, and Wells Fargo. The city is alleging that these banks violated the Federal Fair Housing Act by engaging in a pattern and practice of issuing predatory mortgage loans to minority residents, resulting in a rash of foreclosures.
On May 2016, the City of Seattle, WA, has filed charges of illegal discrimination against 23 different property owners, after a new round of fair housing testing showed evidence of housing discrimination. The testing revealed that prospective renters experienced different treatment from Seattle landlords across all three categories that were tested: familial status, disability, and use of a federal Section 8 voucher.
In Los Angeles, CA, the Housing + Community Investment Department administers a contract with the Southern California Housing Rights Center (HRC) to provide a citywide fair housing program, including: (1) Investigations of housing discrimination complaints concerning housing for rent or sale, advertising, lending, insurance, steering, blockbusting and hate crimes; (2) Remedies for valid complaints, including conciliations, legal action and administrative referrals to state and federal fair housing agencies; (3) Multilingual counseling on fair housing and predatory lending issues; (4) Multilingual property owner, manager and realtor training sessions; and (5) Educational seminars, workshops and presentations on fair housing.

Yesterday I went to see my GP. He is very nice- he gave me my diagnosis of M.E., understands it well, and treats me like an equal in my treatment. I find it pretty easy to talk to him, which is awesome. Anyway, I am changing my medication. I am coming off the quetiapine as quickly as I comfortably can, and replacing the nefopam (which is unfortunately no longer strong enough to even take the edge off really) with tramadol. I also have amitriptyline, which I will be taking if the tramadol by itself doesn't help much. This means I have a massive pile of pill boxes next to my bed, as I'm still taking nefopam until I'm off the quetiapine, and also have proclorperzine as an antisickness tablet, and lanzoprazole for the heartburn and things, and to protect my stomach from ibuprofen when I take that.
On top of this, he is going to contact my social worker about the carer situation, and write to the council to support my housing application. Johan had an appointment with him straight afterwards (he likes the same GP, plus it makes it easier with issues that involve both of us) and he's been prescribed meds to help with his anxiety, and diazepam to take when he's having his flu jab. The GP (I really need to think of a nice name for him) also wants me to have the flu jab this year, because of how ill I am.
So, last night I didn't take any quetiapine. I slept very little- mostly in 20 minute bursts, between 3am and 8am. This was expected, as I've not tried to get to sleep naturally for a few years now (the amitriptyline may also help with that, if I need it). Tonight I plan on taking a half dose to try and stave off the worst of the withdrawal effects, then see how I am tomorrow night for whether I go without or go half dose again.
I am feeling rather crappy today. I think it's partially overdoing it yesterday/last night (as awesome as it was), partially that I have a cold and also because it's way too hot. Hasn't the weather heard that it's autumn now? 😛 I am not too bad though, considering, and now I've stopped rationing the antisickness tablets and painkillers (I'm hoping that if I keep taking them they'll help a bit, until I can swap to tramadol) I'm feeling better than I otherwise would have.
Tomorrow I have two appointments. The CFS clinic in the morning, where I get to tell them the stability I had last appointment has gone and I'm also in the middle of changing meds, then the colposcopy clinic as apparently my cervix looked abnormal when I had my smear done (though the actual result came back fine). It is going to be a long day, especially since I've not been doing overly well in the sitting up department. At least I'm not attempting college this week.

Does Australia have the charging infrastructure for mass adoption of Tesla's?
More than 20,000 EV's are sold in the Australian market and the potential of future uptake is inevitable. There is a mounting pressure from all forces of corners social, political and economic. The vehicle electrification process is here to stay. With this, EV market first needs to overcome the charging aspects. The worry over how far a vehicle can get on a single charge called Range anxiety, still exist in the general public's perspective. However, these statements could have been true in the past however, with today's battery innovation. It simply does not exist.
This is just the base of the problem; the availability of wide range of charging stations networks is a crucial aspect of EV revolution. Tesla's multiplication strategy to advance into the market is to attract customers using the sleek and fast car designs. However, the second half of the strategy includes rolling out EV station networks across the country. EV companies like Tesla are prominent in rolling out EV charging station to make it accessible for all EV owners to receive an equal opportunity to charge the vehicles. The global EV charging station market is worth $30B, this exponential trend continues here in Australia too. Apps like Plug share have solidified the access to EV charging networks by allowing EV drivers to easily navigate to the closest Tesla chargers. These apps also provide charging cost and calculate the next charging point in the direction of the destination.
The promise of cheap and convenient electric transportation will be heavily shaped by the electric car charging facilities available to the EV owners. By ensuring a frictionless charging experience for all EV owners will allow a mass adoption of Tesla. With the roll out of the recent Model 3 in Australia that is targeted towards the mass adoption market, it is a no brainer that a mass charging stations will incentivise further buying. Tesla is paying a catch-up with other automakers deploying 350kW fast chargers and plans to roll out its own 250kW upgrade complete with a necessary software-based battery conditioning step to improve charge acceptance.
For regular daily charging, various households are turning towards utilising solar energy to charge their vehicles. Tesla is intensifying the cross integration of energy products to provide a complete package under one roof. The charging infrastructure is part of the deal. Tesla's pilot residential virtual power plant in Australia has gotten positive feedback after saving residents up to 20% on their savings bills. Tesla's Power Wall is starting to become a distinguishing factor that is bridging the gap of utilising solar energy at the right time and right place. Tesla understands the future energy demands and is willing to invest huge greenfield investments into renewable energy. If not Hyundai and Nissan will cover the market. Only time will be able to tell.

Addicted. I'm so addicted to this saga that I have a copy on my mobile phone (jar format) and on my hard drive (pdf format). A hardbound copy is still on my wish list (because I still don't have a budget to buy it).
Personally, The Twilight Saga is not a literary masterpiece but a creative masterpiece. I love how Stephenie Meyer recreated the idea of vampirism as immortals who can be compassionate to humans.
I tried reading Anne Rice before but one book was enough to scare me that I could not sleep after finishing the book. Yes, I'm a natural scaredy cat. But after reading The Twilight Saga, I imagined having a vampire boyfriend isn't at all scary.
I lost count of how many times I have read the saga, but each time I do, I discover a new angle, yes, this may be too weird for you since most people think that the saga is too shallow. If that's the case, why would you have to always be deep?
Literary critics, you might want to kill me now but I wouldn't change my mind.
Again, I would like emphasize that what I would be sharing are the things I learned from my English teachers. Also, I also have more grammatical errors than you can imagine.
- Stuff refers to items or things. Equipment refers to a set of objects or articles. The words "equipment" and "stuff" are already in its plural form.
Wrong: I will be carrying my stuffs to my room.
Correct: I will be carrying my stuff to my room.
2. "Did noticed", "Did realized"
- Did is the past tense of "do". So the verb after "did" should be in present tense.
Wrong: I did realized that I forgot my bag.
Correct: I did realize that I forgot my bag.
- Yes, Ne-yo, you're incorrect. "Mad" means crazy, not angry. It should not be used to mean "angry".
My tip: The US TV show "Mad About You" is correct and Ne-yo's song "Mad" is incorrect.
Wrong: I got mad with my brother because he broke my toy.
Correct: I got angry with my brother because he broke my toy.
4. "Me and my friends..."
- This is a common error. The correct phrase should be "My friends and I..."
Wrong: Me and my friends are going to watch a movie later.
Correct: My friends and I are going to watch a movie later.
- Sorry, this contraction is incorrect, according to my grammar book.
Wrong: I ain't got money to buy new shoes.
Correct: I don't have money to buy new shoes.
I wasn't able to notice this until Ray pointed this out.
Can you guess which cup is this?
Another book PEx book club decided to discuss is the "Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother" by Amy Chua.
The book is a story about her life as parent to two girls and how beneficial the Chinese way of parenting compared to Western parenting. Being brought up the Chinese way by immigrant parents, Amy Chua thought that raising her bi-racial kids (her husband's caucasian) the Chinese way will diminish the so-called "generation decline" or the decline of the Chinese way of thinking and these kids might be more Western in thinking. The term "Chinese mother" was loosely defined in the book as a traditional (or rather Asian) way of raising children. A non-Chinese parent can practice Chinese parenting, according to the author.
She brought up her kids, Sophia and Lulu with very strict rules such as: no sleepovers, no TV and computer games, no playdates, they cannot be in school plays, and they only play two instruments: violin and piano. Moreover, grades below A+ mean trouble.
She trained her two kids to practice violin and piano for several hours everyday, even during travel. And also, they are not allowed to complain.
I partly agree and disagree with Amy Chua. Though Sophia grew up to be an obedient girl, Lulu resented the way she was being brought up. She rebelled and let her mother know that she wanted a bit of freedom. So, Lulu chose to play tennis. Much to her parents' surprise, she played tennis with a lot of rigor and determination, an obvious result of having a Chinese mother.
Personally, I didn't grow up with gameboy, playstation or other consoles, I was bought a V-tech, which was more educational. And when that V-tech broke, I was bought another, no questions asked. I learned later that V-tech was actually more expensive than gameboy.
I cannot say if this was good, but I grew up watching a lot of TV. I was allowed to watch as long as I want given that I already did my homework.
I also had piano lessons for a year but I discontinued because my piano teacher went back to the States. This is one of my life's biggest regrets ever. I wish I continued my piano lessons.
Overall, I am amazed by the way Amy Chua raised her children and the hours she selflessly spent to be present on all those piano and violin practices. It was also impressive that she injected the Jewish religion (her husband's religion) in her children.
I cannot say if I could be tiger mother if I would be a parent, I don't think I have that courage and I think I'm more of a pushover. But I hope I could apply a bit of Amy Chua's parenting style someday.
I have always seen Wham! Burgers but I had never tried it. But a sudden craving for burgers made me try Wham! for the first time. Most Wham! branches are quite small and could only accommodate around 20 persons at a time.
Partner in crime and I went basic with Wham! Burger with Cheese (Php 145).
Wham! Burger with Cheese is 1/3 pound grilled burger patty with cheese, tomato, lettuce. There was nothing special with the burger, which is quite disappointing since I have friends raving about Wham!. The patty was juicy, alright, but it felt like I was just eating Jollibee Champ.
Maybe I'll come back for the Bronco burger next time, but maybe not.
Note: Other branches include SM North EDSA, SM Megamall, Katipunan, SM Marikina and many more.
My baby sister just turned six!
As fulfillment to her request, I got her a Red Ribbon Cookies and Cream cake. Yeah, she has a thing for anything Cookies and Cream, even with ice cream.
But she can't eat ice cream for now since she still has colds.
I like how Red Ribbon creates classy yet kid-friendly cakes.

Nigeria moves to shield students from sexual harassment
Senate passes bill to protect students in country's institutes of higher education
Nigerian lawmakers have passed a bill aimed at protecting students from sexual harassment in the country's institutes of higher education, local media reported on Tuesday.
The bill was approved by the Senate, the upper house of Nigeria's parliament, after the third reading, local daily The Nation reported.
"This is a very important legislation that this Ninth Senate has passed. We have to protect our sisters, our daughters, and our mothers from predators," Senate President Ahmad Lawan said.
"We want our tertiary institutions to be very important, safe, and peaceful learning environment for everyone. This is legislation that will ensure that wish," he added.
Senator Opeyemi Bamidele, chairman of the judiciary, human rights, and legal matters committee, said rampant sexual harassment at universities and colleges had damaged academic standards in the country.
He stressed the new legislation will help end the existent "hostile environment for students" in Nigeria's educational institutions.
Separately, the House of Representatives, the parliament's lower house, passed a resolution urging the government to set up special courts for trials of cases of rape and sexual and gender-based violence.
The lawmakers asked the government to utilize the relevant agencies to expedite hearings and prosecution of such cases, The Nation reported.

I know. I'm a real estate dork, but this is something that I think will be tremendously useful if you're searching for a home to buy in Charlottesville. Many areas of Charlottesville just aren't well defined and thus not easily searchable. Searching by zip code is far too broad. There are 113 listings displayed in the 22903 Zip Code, but only 10 in the Fifeville neighborhood within the 22903 zip code. (see below) Searching by radius is still an option as well.
If you have questions about any of the homes you see (and don't already have buyer representation) you could always ask me your questions.
If you're curious to read about some of the other improvements you can read about them here. Or just go to the search tool and play around yourself.
This is great and a long time coming. But I just played with it and found some unexpected behavior. Once I drew the custom region I wasn't able to zoom in beyond the extents of that region and then I wasn't able to remove the custom region. Every time I click the X to remove the custom region, it comes back. Same thing happens when clicking "reset search". Found this in both Chrome and Firefox.
Agreed on the long time coming. And aaargh. Thanks, Chris. I'm letting them know.
The developers say it's a known issue and they're working on it. Bother.

We need to pick up the pace
Posted Dec 31 2019
The following is from the American Wild Horse Campaign:
Earlier this month, the Congress gave the green light to accelerate roundups in the West, which could result in as many as 20,000 wild horses being removed from public lands in 2020.
This comes at a time when the Acting Director of the Bureau of Land Management is describing mustangs and burros as an 'existential threat' to the survival of public lands…. Even though wild horses aren't even on 88% of those lands! We know what this scapegoating of wild horses will mean if we don't stop it.
Many of you have reached out and asked why don't we sue to stop this? Well, the answer is we are!
90% of the suits our legal team files we win — and our ongoing litigation is one of the most important ways we're fighting back and setting legal precedents to defend America's wild horses and burros.
California: AWHC successfully prevented the U.S. Forest Service from significantly reducing the size of the Devil's Garden Wild Horse Territory in California — One of the largest in the state.
Nevada: AWHC filed suit to challenge the BLM's decision to permanently remove all wild horses from the Caliente Herd Area in Nevada without considering any reductions to domestic livestock in the area.
Oregon: AWHC sued the BLM in order to stop proposed cruel sterilization surgeries on wild mares. The court granted our request for an injunction, causing the BLM to cancel the experiments.
Utah: AWHC successfully defended wild horses in Utah from a rancher lawsuit that sought the removal of thousands of wild horses from public lands.
Wyoming: AWHC successfully intervened and successfully petitioned the court to dismiss a lawsuit filed by the State of Wyoming on behalf of in-state ranchers seeking the forcible removal of thousands of wild horses.
And these are just a handful of examples.
Make sure our legal team has the resources it needs to score more victories for wild horses and burros in 2020 by donating toward our crucial $100,000 End of Year goal (with the deadline to unlock the match approaching at midnight!).

Great news! — We're nearly 1/3rd of the way to our $100,000 End of Year goal (which we have to hit in order for all donations to be matched).
But before we ask you to make a donation ahead of our deadline tomorrow night, we wanted to give you a glimpse of where this donation will be going.
In Nevada's Virginia Range, AWHC operates the world's largest humane management program for wild horses and burros. The cornerstone of this highly successful program is the remote darting of wild mares with the scientifically proven fertility vaccine known as 'PZP'.
No need for roundups, expensive and crowded holding corrals, or risky sterilization surgeries. And do you want to know how much it costs for a single mare's annual PZP vaccine?
Compare that to the tens of thousands of dollars the Bureau of Land Management spends on the roundup, long-term holding, and contractor fees involved in the removal of a single horse.
Let alone the $5 BILLION figure the Acting Director of the BLM is citing as the cost of a plan to round up over 100,000 horses from public lands over the next decade.
If every single one of you gave $30, we would unlock our $100,000 match, hit our End of Year goal, and give our darters in Nevada the resources they need to prevent horses from being removed by using this safe and proven vaccine.
This is our chance to be on the right side of history
At the beginning of the 1970s, our country came together to prevent the extinction of America's mustangs.
Congress recognized that wild horses were "fast disappearing" and at one point, the wild horse population in Nevada fell below 4,000 (for reference: Nevada is home to the majority of wild horses today).
Thanks to years of activism and public pressure, Congress unanimously (!) passed the Wild and Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act of 1971 to save these American icons.
But right now, in 2019, the future of America's wild horses and burros is once again in jeopardy.
The Bureau of Land Management could remove as many as 20,000 wild horses from public lands next year. At the same time, the livestock industry and two large animal welfare groups that sold out the interests of wild horses are lobbying in favor of a plan that would bring mustang populations to near-extinction levels over the next decade.
Our passionate volunteers, skilled attorneys and lobbyists, and incredible staff are taking a monumental stand in 2020 to defend the future of wild horses and burros against this threat.
Let's be on the right side of history and give wild horses and burros a fighting chance: Donate toward our $100,000 End of Year goal so all donations can be matched and let's win this fight.
Because of you, we're giving a fighting voice for wild horses and burros in Congress, the Courts, and states across the West.
I'm not losing hope
If you're like me, the news that Congress is going to give the Bureau of Land Management $21,000,000 to round up as many as 20,000 wild horses next year broke my heart.
My name is Deb Walker and I'm the Nevada Field Representative for AWHC. In these moments of heartbreak and hardship, it's important we remember why we're in this fight and why we should continue to have hope.
For me, this is personal
When I was younger, I experienced my first glimpse of wild horses in Owyhee above Elko, Nevada. My dad and I were absolutely in awe watching the horses.
When I grew older, my husband and I made a habit of visiting northern Nevada to see wild horses (from a respectable distance). Every Thanksgiving, I would gather my camera, grab a coffee, and head out to go see them.
Fast forward to when I approached retirement from the Air Force. My husband asked me where I would like to go and retire. For me, that decision was easy: I wanted to retire in northern Nevada where I could live as close to wild horses as possible.
And it's what ultimately motivated me to work with AWHC as its Nevada Field Representative.
I think my dad, who recently passed, would certainly approve of my work. I want my two daughters and my three grandchildren to have these experiences and make the same memories with the horses like I did.
That's why the news about Congress giving the green light to accelerate roundups next year just motivates me to work harder. As the Nevada Field Representative, I get to work with a team of incredible volunteers in the largest humane management program for wild horses in the entire world.
Since April, our team administered more than 1,200 PZP fertility treatments to wild horses — that's almost double the number the BLM, with its $80-million-a-year program budget, did in an entire year!
Together, we're proving that there is a more humane and cost-effective way to manage wild horse populations that does NOT require roundups or risky sterilization surgeries.
That's why, despite this week's disappointing news, I am hopeful about what we can accomplish together for our wild horses and burros in the New Year.
Thank you for being a part of our AWHC family,
Deb Walker
Nevada Field Representative
Two significant positive developments we wanted to share
As the dust settles on the Fiscal Year 2020 spending agreement reached by Congress this week, we wanted you to know that the fight is far from over and that there will be ample opportunities for us to defend wild horses and burros in the New Year.
We also want to highlight two significant positives that were included in the spending bill that are a direct result of your advocacy and leadership from key officials in Congress.
Congress attached strings to the $21 million budget increase for the BLM Wild Horse and Burro Program
The spending bill states that the additional funding will not be made available until 60 days after BLM submits a report to Congress detailing its plan for future wild horse management. This is a direct result of alarm bells raised by House Natural Resources Committee Chair Raul Grijalva, Subcommittee on National Parks, Forests and Public Lands Chair Deb Haaland and ten of their colleagues about increasing the agency's budget by nearly 30% without following proper oversight channels.
While we remain disappointed that Congress awarded the BLM millions more tax dollars without strict requirements to prevent BLM from using all the funds to round up and sterilize wild horses, this new provision is a significant improvement over previous versions of the spending bill. It gives the House committee with oversight over the BLM — the Natural Resources Committee — a chance to scrutinize the plan and, potentially, take steps to rein in the BLM, before funding is authorized.
Huge thanks for this major development goes to Grijalva, Haaland, Judiciary Chair Jerry Nadler, and their colleagues who formed this bipartisan effort to protect our wild horses and burros by signing a letter to request proper oversight.
Forest Service Wild Horse and Burro Slaughter Ban
Another positive development in the FY 2020 spending bill is language that prohibits the U.S. Forest Service from destroying healthy wild horses and burros and selling them for slaughter. Previously, Congress prohibited the BLM from lethal management of wild horses and burros, but the ban did not extend to the Forest Service, which manages a much smaller but still significant number of federally-protected wild horses and burros in the West.
The expanded prohibition is a direct response to the Forest Service's threat to sell California wild horses for slaughter and a result of the leadership of U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein — a long time champion of horse welfare — and U.S. Reps. Ted Lieu, Dina Titus, Grijalva, and California State Assemblymember Todd Gloria who worked with AWHC to pass legislation to improve protections for California's horses from slaughter.
Everyone who contacted their elected officials over this past year to seek protections for our cherished wild horses and burros should take a moment to appreciate the fact that our grassroots advocacy is working. Although this work is a marathon, not a sprint, and there are disappointments along the way, we are making progress on the road to saving America's iconic wild herds.
So, as we fire up our legislative and legal teams for the challenges ahead, we want to thank you for staying strong and committed. You are the key ingredient to our successful advocacy for our wild horses and burros, and together, we remain the last line of defense between these beloved animals and their destruction.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.

On anniversary of Wild Horse Act, Congress REJECTS bipartisan protections
Yesterday, the House and Senate unveiled an agreement on the fiscal year 2020 spending legislation. The final bill rejects the efforts of bipartisan lawmakers to prevent federal funds from being allocated toward cruel sterilization surgeries and accelerated roundups.
The vast majority of Americans, from both parties, oppose these surgeries and roundups.
But, this bipartisan effort to protect wild horses and burros was rejected in favor of a backroom deal cut by Washington D.C. lobbyists for the National Cattlemen's Beef Association, the Humane Society of the U.S., the ASPCA, and Return to Freedom that seeks federal funding for the roundup of as many as 20,000 wild horses and burros from our public lands next year.
This week marks the 48th anniversary of the signing of the Wild and Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act of 1971, and the spending bill unveiled yesterday marks a sweeping and unparalleled betrayal of these beloved and iconic animals by groups that say they want to protect them.
But we're not giving up! The words of then-President Nixon in his signing statement for the Wild and Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act stand as true today as they did in 1971.
"Wild horses and burros merit man's protection historically … as a matter of ecological right–as anyone knows who has ever stood awed at the indomitable spirit and sheer energy of a mustang running free."
Then, as today, the American people stand firmly on the side of protecting America's majestic public horses and the public lands they live on.
WHAT YOU CAN DO TODAY:
Arm yourself with the facts. The groups that are behind this devastating funding bill are using deceptive language to justify their actions. Learn the truth by clicking here.
Support AWHC. We have numerous promising avenues to fight back in 2020, which we will pursue vigorously and with your support. Now more than ever, your support is making a difference.
Meanwhile, rest up, stay ready, stay committed and stay strong! Our wild horses and burros need you today more than ever!
BLM Captures 15 More Beloved Mustangs
American Wild Horse Campaign shared an update on Bring Samson, a Wild Stallion, Home for the Holidays Check it out and leave a comment:
PETITION UPDATE
We have terrible news. 15 more wild horses from Fish Springs have lost their freedom, and the community is heartbroken. Beloved and well-known stallions, Rocky, Shadow and Rusty, and their families are no longer free and are incarcerated in BLM holding pens near Reno joining Samson and his family.
Worse, the BLM refuses to hear the will of the people and is intending to leave the…

BLM to permanently remove 431 wild horses from Nevada
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is currently conducting a roundup at the Desatoya Mountain Herd Management Area located approximately 77 miles east of Fallon, Nevada.
The BLM plans on permanently removing 431 wild horses from the area with the intention of leaving just 127 in the herd (leaving one horse per 1,273 acres of public land). Our field representative was on the ground and joined local advocates in warning the BLM to properly flag ALL barbed wire fencing to prevent scared wild horses from colliding with it.
Our warnings were not heeded and terrified wild horses fleeing helicopters crashed through multiple barbed wire fences as a result.
This is just further proof that these roundups are unnecessarily cruel (and entirely unnecessary)!
AWHC's field representatives are sometimes the only eyes, ears, and oversight on the site of roundups throughout the West. But AWHC does more than just document these roundups, our legal counsel just filed a complaint with the BLM over this recurrent problem and we intend to hold the agency accountable.
We're also working to make roundups a thing of the past by demonstrating that there are safer, far more humane and cost-effective ways to manage wild horse populations (in fact, we're implementing the world's largest humane management program for wild horses right here in Nevada).
We know these photos are heartbreaking and the news of these roundups can be disheartening. But we can't lose hope — When we lose hope, our wild horses lose their voice and their chance to live in peace in the wild.
That's why we're in this fight.
By making a donation, you keep our field representatives on the ground — You keep our legal team fighting on behalf of wild horses — And you keep our humane management program in Nevada up and running.
We will continue to speak up and fight,
Help us reunite Samson with his family and bring him home for the holidays
Posted Dec 9 2019
With a heavy heart, we have sad news to share with you.
The Bureau of Land Management set up a trap outside the Fish Springs Herd Area near Gardnerville, Nevada to remove wild horses over the Thanksgiving holiday. Unfortunately, an entire family of wild horses lost their freedom as a result. Two treasured stallion brothers and four generations gone in a flash.
This is Samson.
Samson is a beautiful and respected stallion, known and loved by the local community — And known internationally among the tens of thousands of people who keep up with him and his fellow Fish Springs horses on Facebook.
After being caught in the trap, Samson and his family were loaded onto trailers and shipped to BLM holding pens near Reno. Soon the family could be separated by the BLM and sold off to the highest bidder.
We know Samson and his family belong together and deserve to be free. That's why we're organizing a national petition drive to keep them together and return them to the wild.
Add your name on our official petition: Join thousands in calling on the BLM to keep Samson's family together by returning them to their home in the wild, where they belong!
Samson's family includes his brother Jet, and his mares Old Momma, her daughter Apple, Apple's daughter Dumplin' and Dumplin's baby little Sam (pictured together below). Old Momma has been on the Fish Springs Range for more than 20 years and wants to go home.
They lost their freedom because one resident called the BLM to formally complain about these wild horses on his property.
The local community pressure was enormous, calling on the resident to remove the trap, which he finally did.
The very person who called in the complaint with the BLM regrets doing so and wants Samson and his family to stay together on their home range in Fish Springs.
This holiday season let's make sure that happens. Sign our petition urging the BLM to return Samson and his family to their home on our public lands.
P.S. — The BLM's removal of Samson and his family shows, once again, the heartlessness of this agency's wild horse and burro management policies. Please consider supporting our work to fight these policies and keep wild horses and burros in the wild by making a donation (every dollar makes a difference in this critical fight!)

TEXAS, BIG & RICH
Texas, Big & Rich came to AAE in January 2019 after abandonment on a large (400-acre) property in Placer County eight years ago. Sadly, these guys have a long history of failures after once roaming free.
Our understanding these mustangs came to a rescue in California in 2009 after removal from a neglect situation at another rescue in Nebraska. These are three-strike mustangs; they had three failed adoption attempts while at BLM. Long story short, in 2011, they were part of a group of 10 placed on a beautiful 400-acre foster property. The foster was asked to remove the horses after failing to provide the promised care. When they returned to remove the group of 10, they were unable to load these three and left them behind, never to return for them. Texas, Big & Rich lived on the foster property for years, until it was recently sold. Sadly, these boys lost eight years of prime time, and according to their brands, they are all 16 years old. Little is known about prior handling/training, but these guys were feral; none of the three were halterable at the time we picked them up.
Fortunately, picking up was straight forward. The fosters had set-up a round pen, and fed the horses in the roundpen to get them used to coming in. We setup a long loading chute from the roundpen to the trailer. The pick up was anything but difficult; actually, the hardest part was managing the panels with only one truck/trailer.
The loading was the easy part….literally seconds from the time the roundpen was opened until the horses were in the trailer. Think about the intake process and the hidden costs that most people don't consider when thinking about the costs associated with rescuing horses: one trip to visit/evaluate the horses (three hours volunteer time), one trip to deliver and setup the panels (three hours onsite plus time hitching up, loading panels, fueling vehicle, ranch help unloading and setting up), one trip to load/pick-up the horses (three hours plus time for hitch-up, ranch help, an hour waiting on roadside for road service while truck was stuck in 4WD, return/unload, intake), and another trip to pickup the panels (three hours times two plus unloading). Add the gas and wear and tear on the truck and trailer. This was only the beginning of the journey with three feral mustangs that have already had failed placements a multitude of times. Consider prepping for hoof, dental, and vet care after eight years of none. Volunteer hours upon hours.
Fortunately, these boys were in relatively good health, except for Tex, who had foundered. There was much work yet to do!
Tex responded well to re-learning about human touch and haltering, and we were able to get radiographs and a farrier on his hooves. Thankfully, after several rounds of trimming, shoes, and ongoing hoof care, he's done very well.
Tex and Rich were quite bonded. Well, Rich was extremely timid, fearful, and reactive. He found his confidence in Tex. Tex, on the other hand, had a sweet blend of curious with a bit o' confidence. Where you found one, you found the other. It was hard on Rich when Tex was away for farrier care or other work. Unlike most mustangs, Rich was irrationally reactive, explosive, over the top. With the slightest of pressure, he would lose his mind. How I wish we knew what this lil' guy had experienced; well, maybe not :( Rich did much better when he and Tex joined the herd in our "pasture" (10-acre dry lot). He interacted with the other horses and found solace with a couple of the girls. Sadly, his separation anxiety was so extreme, he tried to challenged a farm gate during feeding time to get to one of his girls, and he injured himself. Fortunately, we had made some progress with haltering, we were able to halter and sedate him for veterinary treatment (thanks to the team at Loomis Basin Equine Medical Center), and his wounds healed with barely a scar.
It was very apparent the human world was simply way too much for Rich. His fear and reactivity far outweighed a safe existence for him and his human friends at AAE. We were very fortunate to find a sanctuary home for Rich and his BFF, Tex.
That leaves Big. While Tex and Rich were winding down their stay at AAE, Big graduated and took a little vacay to enhance his learning as a project horse for a student at the Monty Roberts International Learning Center . Big was a favorite. (Consider the transport time and costs, as well as the student and instructor time, care costs, plus).
Big is a very willing and has a very kind soul. That being said, he is reactive and a long way to go in becoming a confident, trusting partner, but charming he is!
Big needs his own person that is very experienced with mustangs. He gives nicely to pressure, and he accepts touching around his neck, chest and withers more readily than his face, but he will tolerate facial and forehead rubs. At AAE, his human time is divided among the many horses here. He really needs his very own dedicated person to give him daily, consistent handling to continue his progress. Big has an adorable "dork" factor with his charming eyes, head tilts, and generally goofy expressions. You can't help but fall in love with this guy. At 16, he's probably best suited as a fun companion for lots of liberty work. He's not going to be "easy" to develop into a trustworthy riding partner, but never say never. The right person is just what he needs. Someone calm, quiet, and confident, that knows how to develop trust and confidence and continue progress.
Big is available for adoption. He is current with hoof and dental care, as well as vaccines and deworming. He has a microchip in place. He is NOT suitable for a beginner or anyone without significant experience gentling mustangs.
Learn more about our adoption process here
As you can see, the time, effort, and dedication it takes to rescue is much more than a quick pick up and rehome. It takes hours upon hours of volunteer time and a lot of equipment and financial resources to accomplish just one rescue like Texas, Big and Rich. Your support makes it possible for horses like these three to have another chance for a happy, healthy life. Thank you!

Less than 12 hours to go — Can we count on you to give?
AWHC has an incredible team of staff, specialists and volunteers across the country working to keep America's wild horses and burros wild.
The Bureau of Land Management is trying to convince Congress that mass roundups and surgical sterilization of wild horses are the only solutions to managing America's wild horse and burro population. With the capitulation of the ASPCA, HSUS and Return to Freedom to the livestock industry agenda, we're the last ones standing fighting for the future of wild herds.
Make no mistake: the scale of the removals proposed — a staggering 130,000 wild horses and burros over the next ten years — will result in both the destruction of wild horses and burro populations in the wild and the mass slaughter of those held in captivity.
AWHC is fighting back hard, in Congress, in the courts and in the field where we're implementing humane management programs to prove that wild horses and burros can be managed without harming them.
We're in for the fight of our lives in 2020 — Can we count on you to make a matched donation this #GivingTuesday? We're nearly half of the way to reaching our $50,000 goal but have less than 12 hours to close that gap in time.
Galloping towards a major deadline
Posted Nov 27 2019
We're officially one week away from #GivingTuesday, which is one of the largest days for charitable giving in the United States for the entire year. Our ability to hit our annual fundraising goal at the end of the year depends on having a successful #GivingTuesday.
Here's Why We Need Your Help: Over the past weeks, we've been sharing the news with you. The BLM outlined a $5 billion plan that could result in the removal and potential wholesale slaughter of America's wild horse population in our lifetimes.
The Congress is currently considering giving the BLM more money to accelerate roundups and begin implementation of the plan. This is the biggest threat to mustangs and wild burros in generations and it could begin early next year — Which means we're in a fight for their lives in 2020.
Our 2020 budget and the extent to which we can fight back (and expand our work in critical areas!) depends on reaching our end of year fundraising goal. And the only way we can achieve that is if we can bring on 5,000 individual donations on #GivingTuesday.
Let's show the BLM, the livestock industry, and Congress that we WILL stop their attacks on wild horses and burros — Make a donation toward our #GivingTuesday fundraising drive.
This is an ambitious goal, we know. But the stakes have never been higher and with your help, we will rise to the occasion.
Together, we are unstoppable,
P.S. — If you can't donate, we completely understand. But there's a way you can help us out without giving a cent. Share this email with three friends to help us spread the word and recruit more friends of America's wild horses and burros!
Photos from the field: One person really makes all the difference
"Zero wild horses." That is the Appropriate Management Level the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) set for the Seaman and White River Herd Areas (HAs) in Nevada.
As a result, the BLM rounded up and removed 294 wild horses from these HAs this month with 9 dead. AWHC asked the BLM to delay any action until the court ruled in our Caliente Complex lawsuit about the legality of such a decision.
The BLM proceeded, until they halted the roundup because most of the horses were at higher elevations in the juniper forests where the helicopters couldn't get them. The BLM says it will resume in January when the temperatures drop and the horses come down to lower ground. The BLM did allow public observation during this month's roundup and most days, our observer was the only member of the public onsite to document and monitor the operation.
We are the eyes and ears on the ground. If it weren't for that lone AWHC field representative, the public wouldn't have insight, nor the BLM accountability, regarding this roundup — and many others.
If you can, make a donation to ensure we have representatives on the ground to document roundups and hold the BLM accountable.
Below Are Photos Our Observer Took During The Seaman and White River Roundup:
These photos are heartbreaking. Wild horses deserve to be free and live in the wild. That's why it is critical we continue to observe, document and report on the atrocities the BLM is committing, while continuing to fight in the courts, in Congress and in the field to stop the roundups and implement humane management.
Your donation allows us to have field representatives on the ground and powers our legal defense fund so we can make roundups a thing of the past: Your support makes all the difference.
Congress is pressing the BLM for this long-overdue report on wild horses
Four months. It's been nearly four months since the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) passed the deadline to submit a report to Congress regarding the future of the Wild Horse and Burro Program.
Despite that, the Acting Director of the BLM has made time to serve the interests of his former clients and piece together a propaganda campaign in support of a $5 billion plan that will likely end with the slaughter of America's wild horses.
This comes at a time when Congress is considering allocating more money to the Wild Horse and Burro Program without even seeing the BLM's critical report!
We're not the only ones fed up with this. Seven members of Congress are teaming up to demand the BLM issue this report ASAP since they missed the latest deadline.
Add your name to our petition if you believe the BLM needs to stop the obstruction and release the now overdue report on their future plans for the Wild Horse and Burro Program. This way we can prove to the BLM that the American people demand transparency from them.
AWHC
The BLM intends to remove all wild horses from the Caliente Complex — We're fighting back
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) announced its decision to round up and permanently remove ALL wild horses from the Caliente Herd Area (HA) Complex in Nevada.
It should come as no surprise that the BLM did not consider reductions to domestic livestock in the same area before announcing its intention to eradicate the Caliente Complex mustangs. This comes as the Acting Director of the BLM has repeatedly sided with private livestock owners over the lives of wild horses.
But this decision is different from authorizing a standalone roundup — The BLM decision would eradicate mustangs in eight of the nine Herd Management Areas (HMAs) in the Caliente Complex.
That's why AWHC joined with The Cloud Foundation (TCF) and Western Watersheds Project (WWP) to sue the BLM and stop them.
In a moment, we'll explain why the BLM decision is illegal. But first, we're going to humbly ask: If just 5% of you made a tax-deductible donation toward our legal defense fund, we would surpass our critical November fundraising goal →
Under federal law, mustangs are one of two animals in our country specifically protected by an Act of Congress. The bald eagle is the other. As part of the 1971 Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act, wild horse populations must be managed to maintain "a thriving natural ecological balance."
1 ) By refusing to protect wild horses or give full consideration to the long term impacts of this wild horse wipeout plan, the BLM deprived the American people of the opportunity to assess and respond to the rationale underlying this major decision.
2 ) Additionally, the BLM must consider reasonable alternatives short of the outright elimination of wild horses in these HMAs. By refusing to consider a reduction in livestock grazing, the BLM is violating the National Environmental Policy Act , its mandate to protect wild horses under the 1971 Wild Horse Act.
3 ) Remember — more than 500% more BLM land is authorized for livestock than for wild horses and burros in the West, and many of these private livestock owners benefit from as much as half a billion dollars annually in taxpayer subsidies. The claims of wild horse "overpopulation" by the BLM are false, further evidenced by the fact that wild horses are not found on 88% of BLM lands.
That's why AWHC's legal team is suing. Our suit regarding the Caliente Complex was just fully briefed on summary judgment, meaning it is officially moving forward at a time when the threat of slaughter is once again looming large.
We will keep you updated as this case develops. Litigation is one of the most important tools we have to advocate on behalf of America's wild horses and burros. If just 5% of you donated to this email toward our legal defense fund, we would surpass our November fundraising goal →
Our wild horses don't have a voice. Your continued support allows us to be theirs.
The BLM is moving fast — Two new announcements re: wild horses
The Bureau of Land Management is moving fast — This past week alone the BLM concluded a roundup in the Challis Herd Management Area (HMA) in central Idaho and announced that the agency will be moving forward with a plan to reduce the size of the wild horse and burro population in the Twin Peaks HMA in northeast California by 80% over the next 10 years.
Challis Roundup: 295 Wild Horses Captured
The BLM forcibly removed 295 wild horses from the Challis HMA between Nov. 5 and Nov. 11 as part of the Idaho roundup. This week the agency is expected to complete a census flight to determine how many wild horses will be returned to the 169,000-acre area.
The vast majority of the wild horses removed from these public lands will not be returned to the wild. Many will spend their lives in the BLM's holding facilities, or worse, face being killed or sold for slaughter if Congress pulls the plug on funding for their long-term care.
We can expect the roundups to be greatly accelerated if the Senate approves the $5 billion plan, pushed by the livestock industry and BLM's Acting Director, which would reduce wild horse populations in the West to near extinction levels.
AWHC is working to ensure this plan is not implemented: Help us continue to organize against the greatest threat to wild horses and burros in generations by making a donation if you can.
You can read more about the Challis Roundup in this article from the Idaho Statesman here.
Twin Peaks HMA: BLM Officially Moves to Reduce Herd Size
The BLM recently released its management plan for the wild horses and burros of the Twin Peaks HMA — Including future helicopter roundups and fertility control over the next ten years.
According to the Sierra Sun Times: "This plan calls for several approaches, including using helicopter drive trapping, bait-and-water trapping and fertility control to reduce the herd … over ten years."
While AWHC supports using fertility control, we do not support the drastic reduction in herd sizes for wild horses and burros in this HMA.
Nearly 90% of the existing wild burro population will be removed over ten years, leaving just 72 animals on the range and destroying the genetic health of this herd.
For the Twin Peaks wild horses the plan is almost as bad: reduce the herd by 80% and release castrated stallions (geldings) onto the range, a move that will take the wild out of these wild horses by destroying their natural behaviors. AWHC has a pending case at the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals that will determine whether or not the BLM can release geldings onto the range before its research into the impacts of the procedure on wild horses is completed.

AWHC is the eyes and ears on the ground and the voice for mustangs and burros in the halls of Congress and the courts of law. Donations, of any size, give our field team the resources they need to document these roundups as well as give us the resources to also intervene when possible through the courts. No donation is too small to make a difference.
Thank you — And we'll keep you updated,
a couple of crucial developments in the fight to defend wild horses (please read)
Acting BLM Director William Perry Pendley's recent declaration of wild horses as the top existential threat to public lands (even though wild horses aren't on 88% of BLM land!) and his claim that it will cost $5 billion to "solve" the wild horse "problem" is the culmination of a years-long propaganda war against mustangs and burros.
The war is being waged by the commercial livestock industry, which seeks virtual eradication of these cherished animals in order to maximize taxpayer-subsidized grazing of privately-owned cattle and sheep on public lands.
This anti-mustang propaganda war was boosted recently with the capitulation of the Humane Society of the U.S., ASPCA and Return to Freedom to the cattlemen's mass mustang roundup agenda.
With that in mind, your team at AWHC has been fighting back hard — from the battleground of Nevada to the seat of power in Washington DC — and we want to share some of our most recent work with you today.
Fighting Back at Ground Zero in the Wild Horse War: Nevada
On October 23, we organized a high-profile press conference with Nevada business leaders and a leading conservationist to counter the anti-wild horse messaging at a screening later that evening of the propaganda film "Horse Rich Dirt Poor."
Well known real estate developer and Storey County Commissioner Lance Gilman and Erik Molvar, Executive Director of the Western Watersheds Campaign, struck back forcefully against the scapegoating of wild horses and in favor of protecting these iconic animals on public lands in the West. Read more about this highly successful event here.
Defending Wild Horses & Burros in Washington, DC
AWHC teamed up with our colleagues at Animal Wellness Action and The Cloud Foundation to hold a briefing on Capitol Hill for Congressional staff to discuss the mass roundup plan and its true cost to American taxpayers and the wild horses and burros we cherish. In one of the most successful Hill briefings ever, 35 staffers showed up to learn more about this issue that is obviously of concern to so many of their constituents. You can read more about this event here.
At the same time and a few miles away, the BLM Wild Horse and Burro Advisory Board was meeting — with AWHC staff in attendance to ensure that your voices were represented and heard.
Throughout the meeting, BLM officials and most advisory board members expressed their utter disdain for public opinion, which they dismissed as being "emotional" and "uneducated." It's clear where the public stands on the mass roundup and surgical sterilization plan, as our most recent polling documents. At the meeting, we made sure that the voice of the people was not ignored.
Read more about the board meeting here.
Fighting to Keep Wild Horses Wild
While we're battling on the national front, AWHC is investing significant resources to protect locally cherished herds and support humane management programs.
From the Virginia Range — where our darters have delivered more fertility control treatments to wild horses in six months than the entire BLM did last year — to the Onaqui Mountains in Utah, where we're helping the BLM and the Wild Horses of America Foundation expand an existing fertility control program, to the Salt River in Arizona where we work closely with the Salt River Wild Horse Management Group, we're working every day to keep wild horses wild and prove that humane management work.
You won't want to miss our latest updates from the field here.
We Couldn't Do This Work Without You!
Our mustangs and burros don't have a voice — Which is why we're using ours. If just 5% of you donate to this email, we could clear our monthly fundraising goal and show the BLM that the public proudly supports this important work to keep wild horses and burros wild and free!
From all of us here at AWHC — Thank you for taking the time to read this and thank you for supporting our work.

The greatest threat to wild horses in our lifetimes
Posted Oct 27 2019
William Perry Pendley, the Acting Director of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) announced this week that it would cost the taxpayers $5,000,000,000.00 to clear public lands of wild horses.
Pendley knows exactly what he's doing. By putting an outrageously high price tag on humane management of wild horses and burros, he's laying the groundwork to make the case that non-lethal management of wild horses is too expensive and that slaughter is the only option.
The threat of slaughter is again looming large. If you can spare a donation to AWHC, now is the time to do so.
Just last week, Pendley labeled wild horses an "existential threat" to public lands in America, even though wild horses aren't even present on 88% of BLM lands.
Pendley's goal is to divert attention away from the commercial industries, including livestock grazing, that are the true "existential" threats to public lands, while simultaneously securing funding from Congress for unprecedented mass wild horse and burro roundups.
Pendley is executing a sophisticated propaganda campaign against wild horses. Phase 1 was to establish a fake crisis of wild horse overpopulation. That has largely been achieved with the HSUS, ASPCA and Return to Freedom capitulation to the livestock industry agenda of reducing wild horse and burro populations to near extinction levels.
Phase 2, to convince Congress that non-lethal management of wild horses is too expensive, is now underway.
This represents the greatest threat to the survival of wild horses and could result in their extinction. We need to organize and fight back like never before.
That's why we're asking each of you, if possible, to make a donation to support our work. Every single donation helps us send a message to Congress and Pendley: We will not let you exterminate wild horses!
This won't be an easy fight — Which is why we are so grateful for your support at this critical time.

550+ wild horses removed from public lands in Wyoming [contains photos from the scene]
As we speak, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is forcibly reducing the population of wild horses in Wyoming's Fifteenmile Herd Management Area (HMA) by 86% through a helicopter stampede.
So far, they've removed 558 wild horses from the area — With the goal of capturing nearly 700 wild horses before the end of the month.
Those wild horses don't have a voice, so we have to use ours — we have to take action to defend them. Every donation helps us keep the public informed about these cruel roundups and allows us to advocate for the tens of thousands of wild horses and burros across the West.
This week, our observer was in Wyoming's Fifteenmile HMA, where the BLM is currently rounding up the entirety of the wild horse population there from our public lands. At least 8 horses have died in the week since the roundup began, including:
One horse succumbed to a neck injury during the helicopter stampede while two others were euthanized;
Another died as a result of a strike to the head by another wild horse on the way to the trap;
One mare had a major cut and was taken to Rock Springs for treatment;
Despite BLM reports that wild horses are "starving" to justify these roundups, the wild horses being removed are in good body condition and sound health.
After the BLM breaks apart their families, only 100 wild horses will be returned to the area, threatening the long term survival of the herd itself.
This is not an isolated incident, either. If Congress authorizes the new BLM ten-year plan, we will witness roundups of this scale all throughout the West — Putting wild horses and burros squarely on the path to extinction.
We are the eyes and ears on the ground, holding BLM accountable for these cruel roundups. Please donate to help our team continue to document roundups and work to ramp up the pressure on Congress to reject the BLM's "path to extinction" plan.
Thank you for your continued support — We'll keep you updated.
Fifteenmile Roundup would reduce local wild horse population by 86% (!)
Over the next two weeks, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) will attempt to forcibly rip away nearly 700 wild horses in Wyoming from the Fifteenmile Herd Management Area (HMA), returning just 100 back into the wild.
For reference, that amounts to removing a staggering 86% of the entire wild horse population in the HMA.
This might sound blunt but: If you can, we need you to make a donation now to help AWHC keep our team in the field documenting these roundups and defending wild horses and burros against the most pressing threat of our generation.
We want to make this abundantly clear and transparent: Your support allows us to document these cruel operations so the public is informed, challenge the roundups when possible before they happen in Congress and in the courts, as well as fund our field programs where we PROVE that there is a better, more humane way to manage wild horses and burros.
The BLM wants to complete the Fifteenmile Roundup before the end of October if possible.
By the time the helicopters have cleared the area, as few as 100 wild horses could remain in the Fifteenmile HMA, which spans more than 70,000 acres. That is below the number of wild horses needed to maintain genetic viability.
Simply put, the Fifteenmile Roundup threatens to end the wild horse population in this area once and for all. And this is just the beginning of what is to come if Congress approves the BLM plan which would remove tens of thousands of wild horses throughout the West over the next ten years.
Time isn't on our side. Help us continue to shine a spotlight on these cruel roundups and defend our wild horses and burros by rushing in a donation of any size →
Your support is making all the difference,

One of the treats of fall that extends into the early winter season is the pear. Sweet in flavour with textures ranging from grainy to buttery, pears make a welcome addition to the fall and winter cooking repertoire. Pears can be incorporated into breakfast dishes from cereals to pancakes to muffins, served in salads, with cheese course and desserts. They can also add flavour to main courses and side dishes. How about chopping a firm textured pear into a grain pilaf, pairing a roasted pear with sweet potatoes or serving a sauce with soft, buttery pear cooked into it? Go ahead, pair the pear!
Bosc: the classic pear with light brown golden skin and slightly grainy flesh, shaped in elongated penultimate "pear" shape. This is my favorite pear and I use it to poach in wine or juice, serve with a selection of cheeses at the end of a meal or add to those slightly bitter greens in a salad to counter them with an added layer of sweetness. The firm texture holds it shape and looks beautiful when sliced vertically. I also use this. Variety to make caramelized or crystallized pear "chips" to garnish salads, geese trays and desserts.
Concord: an amazing variety, derived from crossing the European Conference pear with local Comice variety, not readily available in this neck of the woods but sometime the Italian grocers bring them from the pacific northwest. Tall and exceptionally elongated, firm but juicy, sweet but not overdone with vanilla undertones this is an ideal pear to have with a slice of blue cheese at the end of dinner or any time. Quintessential Italian elegance.
Bartlett: More round and not as elongated as the Bosc variety, Bartlett pears are yellow when ripe, have a wonderful distinctly pear aroma, are buttery in texture and full of sweet moisture. Bartlett do not stand well to poaching and become soft and mushy when cooked. I use them in chutneys and to make pear butter as well as add them to quick breads for flavour and moisture. When a bartlett pear is not over ripe and still retain its texture Iserve it in a salad with blue cheese or just pair it with blue cheese without a salad. A fully ripened specimen makes a great "kitchen sink" snack, and I invite you to bite into its juicy flesh over the sink, letting the sweet nectar drip down your chin. Of course you can be more restrained and eat it off a plate with a knife and fork but in Shakespeare's own words " it is an ill cook who cannot lick his own fingers" (or have a kitchen sink snack). Bartlett comes in yellow or red varieties. I think the red variety is somewhat firmer.
Williams Pear: just kidding. Bartlett pears (also known as Williams Pears) are used to make what is known as Williams Pear Eau de Vie Brandy that sometimes feature an entire pear inside the bottle. This is a labour of love originating from the Alsace region in northeast France. To get the pear inside the bottle they actually tie a glass bottle over the buds on the tree while the bud still fits through the neck of the bottle. This way the fruit develops and grows inside the bottle to maturity. It's a labour intensive process but looks quite spectacular when done.
Other varieties include green and red Anjou pears, Comice, the elongated Concord and small Seckel pears. Pick up a selection of pear varieties at your local market and experiment with them in you kitchen this season. Why not?

Minister for Environment; Climate Action
Phase out of single-use plastics begins tomorrow
Nine single-use plastic items phased out as of tomorrow
Transition period to allow businesses to use up supplies and adapt
Ensured supply of plastic straws for people that require them to maintain quality of life
Nine single-use plastic items will be phased out in Western Australia starting tomorrow.
Single-use plastic bowls, cups for cold beverages and hot foods, plates, cutlery, stirrers, straws, expanded polystyrene food containers, thick plastic bags and helium balloon releases will all be banned in Western Australia as of January 1, 2022.
A six-month transition period will allow businesses to use up supplies and adapt to the changes for all items, except for cups which will have an extended transition period to October 1, 2022 to allow time to source alternatives.
In June, the State Government fast-tracked its Plan for Plastics by up to four years, leading to a range of single-use plastics being phased in from January 1, 2022 and January 1, 2023.
A community education program began this month to raise awareness of the single-use plastic bans and to support the community to adapt to the bans.
A State-wide Plastic Free Places Program will begin in March creating partnerships with local governments, marketplaces, shopping centres, businesses, industry and community organisations to become single-use plastic free.
Retailer and supplier education will be implemented from early 2022 to further support industry to adapt by changing to reusable or non-plastic single-use alternatives across the supply chain.
People that require single-use plastic straws to maintain their quality of life will receive a continued supply on request with food or beverage or for sale at select locations.
Stage 2 of the Plan for Plastics will begin on January 1, 2023 and will include bans on plastic barrier/produce bags, cotton buds with plastic shafts, polystyrene packaging, microbeads, oxo-degradable plastics, bowl and cup lids, polystyrene cups and coffee cups.
More information about Western Australia's Plan for Plastics can be found at https://www.wa.gov.au
Comments attributed to Environment Minister Reece Whitby:
"It is time for Western Australia to take the next step towards a single-use plastic-free future.
"Our State has a strong track record on plastics and was named the top jurisdiction in Australia for its work on plastics by WWF Australia for two years in a row.
"With Stage 1 of the Plan for Plastics coming into effect from tomorrow, it's time for all Western Australians to think about the small changes they can make to their behaviour by adopting alternatives to single-use plastics and choosing to reuse.
"The community has shown overwhelming support for moves to reduce single-use plastics; the time has come for us to back that sentiment up with action."

Kit Harington Cries in the Trailer for Game of Thrones Documentary The Last Watch
Regardless of how you might feel about Game of Thrones at this moment (and it's OK if you're not feeling that great about it!), chances are you're still probably going to tune in to the making-of documentary special, The Last Watch, set to air the week after the HBO drama takes its final bow.
Now, the network has released the first trailer for behind-the-scenes doc, showing us what exactly went into bringing the final season of Game of Thrones to life. And from the looks of the minute-long trailer, Season 8 was full of a lot of long goodbyes and also Kit Haringon occasionally crying.
The two-hour documentary won't just focus on the actors as they prepare to say goodbye to the characters they've played over the last eight seasons, but also on the crew who brought Westeros to life behind the scenes. It's not a stretch to say that Season 8 is the show's most ambitious season ever, and the trailer shows us that they actually built many practical sets for Episode 5, "The Bells," just to see them destroyed. We'll also see the toll this took on the production crew, as it's clear creating gigantic set pieces — along with the night shoots needed for "The Long Night" — wasn't exactly the easiest thing in the world.

Holocaust Museum Rescinds Prestigious Award as Aung San Suu Kyi Fails to Defend Rohingya
Myanmar's State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi delivers a national address in Nay Pyi Daw on Sept. 19, 2017.

The honorary titles once decorating Myanmar's de facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi continue to be revoked amid the ongoing Rohingya crisis, with the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum becoming the latest to withdraw an award from the erstwhile democracy icon.
The museum announced Wednesday that is rescinding Suu Kyi's Elie Wiesel Award, bestowed on her in 2012, due to her refusal to stop or condemn military violence against the Muslim Rohingya minority.
"It is with great regret that we are now rescinding that award. We did not take this decision lightly," the museum said in a letter addressed to Suu Kyi, who is Myanmar's State Counsellor. The museum, which emphasizes genocide prevention, said it "has been closely monitoring the military's campaign against the Rohingya," as well as Suu Kyi's handling of her government's response.
"We understand the difficult situation you must face in confronting decades of military misrule and violence in your country and that institution's still powerful constitutional role," the statement continued. "However, the military's orchestration of the crimes against Rohingya and the severity of the atrocities in recent months demand that you use your moral authority to address this situation."
Since 2015, the museum has warned that Myanmar's decades-long persecution of the Rohingya, including denial of citizenship, education and access to health care, could be early warning signs of genocide.
Over the past two years, the Myanmar military has responded violently to what it says was were attacks by a Rohingya insurgent group. The museum said it hoped Suu Kyi "would condemn those actions and express solidarity with the Rohingya."
Instead, Suu Kyi's government has been accused of running an internationally criticized propaganda campaign. State media has published op-eds referring to the group as "fleas" and other dehumanizing monikers. The leader herself said in September that a "huge iceberg of misinformation" was exacerbating the crisis, and has repeatedly sided publicly with the military.

Since security forces renewed what they call "clearance operations" last August, more than 671,000 Rohingya, most of them children, have fled Myanmar for neighboring Bangladesh with little more than accounts of the atrocities they witnessed.
The U.N. has labeled the violence "ethnic cleansing" and has documented evidence of well coordinated and systemic violence, including rape, arson and extrajudicial killings. The U.N. Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights concluded that the brutal attacks and eradication of whole villages was intended to prevent the return of Rohingya to Myanmar.
Myanmar denies committing atrocities and claims to be waging a legitimate counterterrorism campaign. Within Myanmar, Rohingya are widely referred to as "Bengalis" and portrayed as dangerous interlopers from Bangladesh.
Suu Kyi, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate who holds the titles of State Counsellor and Foreign Minister since her government came to power in early 2016, has recently lost several other awards earned in honor of her years as a dissident under the former military junta. The freedoms of the cities of Dublin, London and Oxford have all been revoked.
Fellow Nobel laureates have also criticized her handling of the Rohingya crisis, which the U.N. reiterated this week has not stopped.
