Aii integrated with Clean by Design to scale our Mill/Impact Program
and deliver high-level thought leadership and
impact in the industry.
Letter from our President
Welcome to the Apparel Impact Institute website! Thank you for visiting. As you navigate through our site, we hope your experience is informative and valuable. We aim to be the industry-leading resource
for all apparel brands that want to scale measurable impact.
We are living in an exciting time for the apparel industry. I am inspired by the increased commitment to sustainability and sense of urgency around the need to reduce negative impacts and accelerate positive ones. However, we are at that critical point for our planet where we need to translate this momentum into real action immediately. Every player across the apparel & footwear industry's value chain, large and small, has the collective power to do just that.
When we launched Aii at the end of 2017, we set out to serve as a solutions-oriented industry partner that would aggregate brands, manufacturers and industry stakeholders to select, fund and scale high-impact projects that dramatically and measurably improve the sustainability outcomes of the apparel and footwear industry.
To do that requires bringing industry players together to align on strategy, funding and collective commitments, thus reducing the fragmentation among the many programs that exist and want to achieve impact. By focusing together on projects that scale, we can meet the critical environmental and social outcomes brands and consumers are seeking.
We are proud to conduct this work through our inaugural initiative, Mill/ impact, which focuses on aligning and scaling mill improvements in the industry by developing a singular framework that can be applied universally. No other apparel or fashion program works towards reduction at this level across thousands of industry partners. Our goal is to reach 2,000 mills by 2024 globally. On average, the mills who have implemented resource efficiency programs yield 10% CO2 reductions, 20% water savings and $440,000 savings after 14 months – funding that can be reinvested in sustainable initiatives. In the spirit of collaboration, I invite you to reach out and contact our team if you'd like to learn more or discuss a potential project. We want to hear from you and support you on your sustainability journey.
Let's work together to ensure that all apparel and footwear is produced with a positive impact on people and the planet.

Consumerism is the enemy of generosity, pope says
/ November 26, 2018 / 346
IMAGE: CNS photo/Vatican Media
By Junno Arocho Esteves
VATICAN CITY (CNS) — The desire to spend vast amounts on shopping and needless extravagances can prevent Christians from being generous with others, Pope Francis said.
"Consumerism is a great disease today. I am not saying that we all do this, no. But consumerism, spending more than we need, is a lack of austerity in life; this is an enemy of generosity," the pope said Nov. 26 during Mass at Domus Sanctae Marthae.
In his homily, the pope reflected on the day's Gospel reading from St. Luke in which Jesus noticed wealthy people placing their vast offerings into the treasury while an old widow makes an offering of two small coins.
"I tell you truly, this poor widow put in more than all the rest; for those others have all made offerings from their surplus wealth, but she, from her poverty, has offered her whole livelihood," Jesus said.
The pope said Jesus often spoke about and compared the behaviors of the rich and the poor, for example, in his parable of the poor man Lazarus or his encounter with the rich young man.
Jesus' assertion that it is difficult for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven may cause some to "label Christ as a communist, but the Lord — when he said these things — knew that behind wealth there was always an evil spirit: the lord of the world," he said.
The poor widow in the Gospel reading, he continued, "gave the little she had" because she trusted God and knew that "the Lord is more than everything."
Pope Francis said Christians today wondering if their small deeds or acts can help relieve social ills such as poverty and hunger are no different than the widow and the two coins she gave as an offering.
"It's the little things. For example, take a trip to our rooms, let us go to our closets. How many pairs of shoes do you have? One, two, three, four, 15, 20 … everyone can answer. A bit too much. I knew a bishop who owned 40 pairs. But if you have so many shoes, give half," the pope said. "It is a way of being generous, of giving what we have, of sharing."
Pope Francis called on Christians to be generous with those in need and to pray to God "so that he can free us from the dangerous evil of consumerism" which is "a psychiatric disease" that can enslave.
"Let us ask for this grace from the Lord," the pope said, "this generosity which broadens our hearts and leads us to magnanimity."

Four old men went into the pro shop after playing 18 holes of golf. The pro asked, "Did you guys have a good game today?"
The first old guy said, "Yes, I had three riders today."
The second old guy said, "I had the most riders ever. I had five."
The third old guy said, "I had 7 riders, the same as last time."
"I have been playing golf for a long time and thought I knew all the terminology of the game, but what's a rider?"
The pro said, "A rider is when you hit the ball far enough to get in the golf cart and ride to it."

Rezeption
"What this second movement requires ist the sense of desolate introspection and withdrawal that is present in abundance in the recent version of the Concerto, by the young German violinist Suyoen Kim. […] But the Concerto's most insightful recording comes, astonishingly, from one of the youngest groups of performers: the supremely eloquent and marvelously poised German violinist Suyoen Kim, with Pietari Inkinen making his chamber-sized band obey every last nuance in the score, will bring tears to the eyes of all but the hardened listener. Hartmann's times were such that he could not waste effort on music that did not matter: the "Concerto funèbre" is intense, serious, a powerful musical encapsulation of the pity of war, loss, shame and anger. Suyoen Kim's version is worthy of this essential 20th-century masterpiece."
 - Piers Burton-Page, BBC Music Magazine Februar 2006

"Suyoen Kim plays with the technical brilliance and musical maturity that have already brought her, at the age of 18, to the attention of conductors like Kurt Mazur and Seiji Ozawa. The Mozart is full of charm, played with an alluring warmth of tone, a nice sense os scale and fluid melodic lines. Hartmann's Suite is in four short movements, it was written in 1927 and is very much of its time, with its jazzy finale and a feeling that Stravinsky's soldier is not far away. Suyoen Kim dispatches its pyrotechnics with ease, and weaves its melodies with sensitivity and assurance. The "Concerto funèbre", also of its time, is much darker work, which mostly eschews showy virtuosity in favour of extended melodic lines – halting and fragmented in the slow movement, wide-reaching and impassioned in the third. Suyoen Kim plays with fluency and occasional high drama. In the tragic finale she is affecting and beautiful, like a bleak counterpart to Vaughan William's lark."
 - Tim Homfray in: the Strad, Juli 2006

Best Buy to stop selling CDs, Target may be next

More news: International Olympic Committee refuses Russian athletes' request to join Olympics
As physical music sales continue to fall as digital and streaming media gain more popularity, the Billboard story also says that Minneapolis-based Target is now demanding that music suppliers provide CDs to it on consignment so it doesn't take on the risk if the products don't sell. Billboard reports an 18.5% drop in the previous year alone. For those of you who still have CD collections, hold them closely. There is absolutely a benefit to having access to almost anything you'd like to listen to for a small monthly fee. The store is committed to carrying records for the next two years. Currently, Target agrees to pay for any goods they're shipped within 60 days, and they have to spend money to ship back unsold CDs. What that means is, Target would only pay for an individual CD or DVD once it is scanned and sold to a customer. Target offered a similar ultimatum to digital video suppliers.
As the digital age of music only continues to get stronger, the idea of going out to your favorite store and purchasing a CD seems like an archaic idea. According to the same report, the retailer Target is cracking down on disc sales by giving suppliers a hard choice: switch to a consignment-based arrangement or risk losing the retail franchise entirely.

The big change for the existing Honda Insight is it deserting the cool liftback appearance and transferring to the Honda Civic platform with Honda Accord styling hints. This more standard style language has actually taken hold in the hybrid world, so we anticipate no huge visual changes on the 2020 Insight.
Inside, the tidy and conservative styling continues for the Insight. Short of the economy gauge, there is little to advise you this is a modern energized vehicle. Besides the push-button transmission, the Honda Insight is likewise devoid of a lot of buttons and user interfaces to mess around with. Like the exterior, we anticipate the easy interior design to bring into the 2020 Honda Insight without any changes.
Due to the fact that there are no changes to its appearances, we likewise anticipate no changes to the 2020 Insight's basic features. If this holds true, it will come basic with 16-inch wheels, LED headlights, a 5-inch audio system display screen, Bluetooth, a USB port, keyless ignition, fabric upholstery, and more. Purchasers trying to find more features can go up to greater trims like the EX and range-topping Touring.
We likewise anticipate no changes to the 2020 Honda Insight's powertrain. If this shows precise, it will feature a 107-horsepower 1.5-liter gasoline-fueled engine and a 129-hp electrical motor. Together, these systems press 151 hp and 197 pound-feet of torque to the front wheels without the help of a transmission. While this powertrain will not do much in regards to efficiency, it provides up to 55 miles per gallon city, 49 highway, and 52 integrated.
The new-generation Honda Insight got the IIHS' leading honors as a Top Safety Pick+ thanks to its high-level crash tests and basic automated emergency situation braking. Other basic security devices on the present Insight consists of lane-keep help, traffic indication acknowledgment, and automated headlights. We anticipate the security features and rankings to stay the exact same on the 2020 Insight.
There is no main release date for the 2020 Honda Insight, however we anticipate a summertime 2019 launching if it follows the present model's schedule.

Cucumber Green Mottle Mosaic Virus (CGMMV) is a virus/pathogen that was first detected in the U.S. in 2013 in Yolo County, California in a melon seed production field during a routine field inspection for export certification purposes.
This pathogen is considered a quarantine pest by USDA APHIS. APHIS and the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) took aggressive quarantine and abatement procedures to eradicate CGMMV and determine the source of the infection/introduction.

Slash on his new album, his relationship with Axl Rose and being a Halloween costume
Slash says the recording of his latest album was "quite an adventure" and "a memorable experience."
"We went in and we did this album live," he told CNN in a recent interview. "We did it in about five days. It was a lot of fun to make."
The not so fun part, he said, was that they all caught Covid despite being extremely careful, including traveling to Nashville to record via bus so they could avoid flying on planes.
Slash said it happened just after he got vaccinated and thankfully everyone is recovered and well.
The new album, "4" by Slash ft. Myles Kennedy & The Conspirators, is the group's fourth and was recorded in April.
He said the pandemic had an influence on the new project – especially because there was "pent up anxiety going into the music, wanting to get together and actually play after not playing for what had been a longer period of time than any of us are used to."
"That had a lot to do with sort of the urgency vibe of the record," Slash said. "[Recording it live] was very cathartic. It was a big release to get in a room and play."
Being in two bands – he's of course best known as the guitarist for Guns N' Roses – Slash is so accustomed living life on tour, he said it was "discombobulating" to suddenly have live music shut down.
But he stayed productive, he said, and is now happy to be back out performing.
Slash said he's looking forward to touring for the "4" album in February and loved the tour he did with Guns N' Roses.
That one went incredibly well, he said, in part thanks to the great relationship he, Axl Rose and the other band members are currently enjoying.
"When we got back together, that whole chemistry and that thing that makes what Guns N' Roses is for me and Axl and Jeff [best known as Izzy], it all just sort of came together," Slash said. "After that long a period of time, we'd sort of forgotten what that was like."
"Everybody got along great," he added. "That's actually why the tour has kept going, because initially it was just going to be a couple of shows."
As one of the world's most famous guitarists, Slash has had some interesting moments, like having people enjoying dressing up as him for his favorite holiday, Halloween.
He said he's honored and sometimes freaked out by it.
"It's a little unnerving to go someplace and run into yourself," he said. "I do recall going to a party a few years ago and there were two of me, so it was a little bizarre."

Iraq clamps down on freedom of expression - Daily News Egypt
Politics Iraq clamps down on freedom of expression
Iraq clamps down on freedom of expression
A new Informatics Crime Law is putting journalists and activists between Nouri Al-Maliki and his opponents
Moustafa Ayad July 16, 2012 Be the first to comment
Iraqi bloggers and online journalists are under pressure from Iraq's clampdown on freedom of expression
Hayder 'Hamzoz' has, for more than a year, been travelling the expanse of Iraq visiting young men and women in small meeting rooms to do one thing, organise.
In the wake of bombings, kidnappings, and government restrictions on freedom of assembly and continued agitation of the freedom of the press, Hamzoz and his team of friends are not young revolutionaries in training, simply activists looking to reach their constituents in a country that seems like three separate states rather than one unified nation.
There, in the often damp, dark, electricity-strapped meeting halls, often with not enough chairs, in Kirkuk, Sulmaniyah and Najaf, Hamzoz is meeting the faces behind the WordPress blogs that crowd the Iraqi blogosphere and the administrators behind some of its largest Facebook pages.
It is these meeting rooms, where discussions revolve around grassroots activism, which the government at the behest of Prime Minister Nouri Al-Maliki is seeking to silence, along with their online debate.
Iraq's media environment is being strangled by government overreach and outright restriction on the abilities of its citizens to express themselves online, media organisations face increased interference in their day to day operations, civil rights groups, activists and journalists note.
In June, 44 news agencies were ordered to stop their operations in Iraq, including the BBC, Voice of America and two of its largest television channels, Sharqiya and Baghdadia.
Al-Maliki's government seems to be consolidating power by restricting the freedoms of Iraqi press and citizens.
The Iraqi government's passage of a restrictive information law that seeks to ban freedom of expression online under the guise of protecting its citizenry, as well as orders from its Communications Media Commission to shut down media organisations based on improper licensing, are only the most recent examples of the government's unease with freedom of expression.
The Informatics Crime Law, due for its second reading in front of parliament this month, seeks to punish citizens or entities who might participate in "undermining the independence, unity, or safety of the country, or its supreme economic, political, military, or security interests," or "participating, negotiating, promoting, contracting with, or dealing with a hostile entity in any way with the purpose of disrupting security and public order or endangering the country."
"Simply put, the Informatics Crime Law is a new tool for Al-Maliki and his gangs to reach his opponents and terminate them," said Yahya Ahmed, an Iraqi who is familiar with the media landscape in some of the country's most volatile areas.
Ahmed did not want his profession or where he is from printed in the newspaper out of fear of political repercussion.
He is, however, a reliable media source.
The vague law, and its numerous articles, "poses a severe threat to independent media, whistleblowers, and peaceful activists," Human Rights Watch noted in an expansive report on the Informatics Crime bill.
"As a blogger I do not have qualms with the idea of the law, but I do have strong reservations, and outright objection to, the ambiguity of the law," said Allawy Rafee, an Iraqi blogger who has been a member of Hamzoz's training sessions.
"I'm not afraid of arrest, but I am afraid of being tried in this judiciary system.
There is no such thing as a fair trial."

Why are independent physical stores thriving in an online world?
Across the UK, independent businesses are bucking the downward trend of physical stores and booming in the modern economy.
Head off the beaten path of a city's high street and you'll probably find yourself in one of the UK's vibrant independent quarters, where small businesses and start-ups are coming together to form colourful business communities. But why are independent bricks and mortar stores thriving while the high street crumbles?
To learn more, we headed out into Manchester's famous Northern Quarter to talk to the business owners and start-ups and see what works for them.
What we found was a thriving, close-knit community of truly inspirational business owners with a real passion for the product, service or experience they offer.
We explored a boutique hotel – intriguingly named The Cow Hollow Hotel – that was entirely self-funded and beautifully designed by owner Muj and his wife, using inspiration from the places they travelled together around the world.
We visited Manchester's first co-working cafe, Ziferblat, which centres around offering a comfortable working space that eradicates the loneliness freelancers often feel if working at home every day.
The community feel was incredibly strong, with fitness classes, knitting groups and regular social events scheduled each day to bring freelancers together for social and business opportunities.
What we found incredibly inspiring is the amount of entrepreneurs pursuing their dreams in Manchester's Northern Quarter. People from the local community, who have worked so hard to offer their customers a truly unique experience, and help others to realise that pursuing their dream is possible. It's a community built with and for the people of Manchester and that's what makes the area so special.
So what does the Northern Quarter mean to Manchester?

Funny Car's Tommy Johnson Jr. Marvels At Sights, Scenes & Performance At Mile-High Nationals
July 10, 2019 raceproweekly NHRA
Story By: SCOTT SMITH / NHRA – MORRISON, CO – While the start of the NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series' famed Western Swing always presents one of the biggest challenges of the season, it also brings a smile to Tommy Johnson Jr.'s face.
The annual trek to scenic Bandimere Speedway for the Dodge Mile-High NHRA Nationals presented by Pennzoil, which takes place July 19-21, means racing at an elevation of more than 5,800 feet, but it's a challenge Johnson has always enjoyed.
It was the site of his first career NHRA final round and he'll look for his first career win there as the race celebrates its 40th anniversary in 2019. It would mark a special victory for Johnson in his 11,000-horsepower Make-A-Wish Foundation Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat, but he enters the race second in points and racing well heading into a key point of the NHRA regular season.
"I've been going there for so long and it's such a cool place," Johnson said. "It's so unique, so different and the one thing I think is really cool is to see the performance gains we've made there. You used to go there and everybody would slow way down and blow up a bunch of parts and not run really well, and now you go there and we don't run much slower. That's been amazing to see. Everybody knows how hard it is to race up there, so I think the fans appreciate the strides everyone has made there. It's cool we're going out there and running so well."
Leah Pritchett (Top Fuel), John Force (Funny Car), Greg Anderson (Pro Stock) and Hector Arana Jr. (Pro Stock Motorcycle) were last year's winners of the event that will be televised on FOX Sports 1 and FOX, including live final eliminations on FOX at 3 p.m. (ET) on Sunday, July 21. It is the 14th of 24 events in the 2019 NHRA season and is the traditional starting point of the challenging and iconic three-race Western Swing, which includes stops in Sonoma and Seattle.
Johnson will look to keep his strong season going in Denver, as the team, led by crew chief John Collins, has performed at a high level all year. He has two finals appearances, racing to the win in Chicago, and advanced to five semifinals, thriving on consistency and small adjustments throughout the year. With championship aspirations, Johnson simply hopes to see his team maintain this impressive pace during the second half of the year.
"Normally the start of the Western Swing is where we start to hit our stride," said Johnson, who has 18 career victories. "To already be in our stride, your focus turns to making sure we can keep this going. The way the team has performed, if we can carry that momentum and put together the back half with this year's front half, we'll be in good shape the rest of the year."
He'll have to get past the likes of points leader Robert Hight, Don Schumacher Racing teammates Matt Hagan, who won Sunday in Epping, Ron Capps and Jack Beckman, and defending world champ J.R. Todd to win in Denver, but Johnson always heads to the area with plenty of energy. It's a thrilling weekend that starts with the Mopar Big Block Party on Thursday, July 18, and also includes nitro night sessions under the lights on both Friday and Saturday.
"There's added responsibility, but I don't feel any extra pressure," Johnson said. "There's pressure just from overcoming the mountain. The block party is one of the coolest things. It is phenomenal the turnout of the block party. There's just so many people there and that really just gets you excited for the weekend. It's one of the neat things to be involved in as part of the Mopar program."
Pritchett won her sponsor's race last year in Top Fuel, and she'll try to pick up her first win of 2019 against the likes of points leader Steve Torrence, Doug Kalitta, Brittany Force and Clay Millican.
Anderson picked up his first Pro Stock win in Denver in a decade in 2018, looking for a repeat win while he faces off with points leader Bo Butner, Chris McGaha, Alex Laughlin and Deric Kramer.
In Pro Stock Motorcycle, Hector Arana Jr. aims for a second win in Denver, though it won't be easy squaring off with points leader Andrew Hines, defending world champ Matt Smith and Ryan Oehler.
The event also features thrilling competition in the NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series, showcasing the future stars of the sport. Fans will want to be sure to catch the Dodge Pennzoil celebrity race on Friday as well as a No-Prep exhibition on Saturday.
After Nitro qualifying on both Friday and Saturday, fans can watch a pair of spectacular Muy Caliente jet cars. Jet cars are thrust driven propelled by jet engines with exciting pre-run flame shows. Friday and Saturday conclude with a spectacular pyrotechnic display.
Along with the exciting on-track action, the Dodge Mile-High NHRA Nationals presented by Pennzoil will honor first responders with NHRA's "Salute to First Responders" celebration. Actress and model Carmen Electra, who has graced the side of Jim Campbell's Cattleman's Cut Funny Car this season, will serve as the Grand Marshal for the event on Sunday.
NHRA fans can take part in the Mello Yello Walking Tour to see the cars and teams hard at work in the pits. Fans can also attend Nitro School to learn how the cars operate and reach their thrilling speeds. Bandimere Speedway will host a Mello Yello autograph session and allow fans to meet their favorite drivers as well as the Cruising with Castello Sealmaster Track Walk hosted by NHRA announcer Joe Castello. Another can't-miss experience is the winner's circle celebration on Sunday after racing concludes. NHRA fans are invited to congratulate the winners of the event as they celebrate their Dodge Mile-High NHRA Nationals presented by Pennzoil victories.
The 18th annual Mopar Big Block Party Presented by Pennzoil will return on Thursday, July 18, from 6-10 p.m. in downtown Golden. The event includes an autographing signing with NHRA stars, as well as the chance to check out Dodge//SRT Mopar drag cars and FCA US production vehicles. The free-admission fan event includes live music from the Steve Thomas Band, the chance to grab seat time in Dodge Demon race simulators and Pennzoil virtual simulators, food and drink stations and much more. Fans can also share their Block Party experience on social media by using #MoparBP19 or #MoParty. For more information, visit the blog section at www.Mopar.com.
Mello Yello Drag Racing Series qualifying will feature two rounds at 4:15 and 7:15 p.m. on Friday, July 19, and the final two rounds of qualifying on Saturday, July 20, at 4:15 and 7:15 p.m. Final eliminations are scheduled for 11 a.m. on Sunday, July 21.

How good is it that it's already Wednesday?? Thank you lord. I had the worst Monday this week. I was the wicked witch that day and felt really bad about it later. I "apologized" by bringing Starbucks for everyone the next day. Being a meanie is just not me. I blame that monthly occurrence that turns me into she-hulk. Mix that with a weekend gone by too fast, an extremely bad hair day and not having enough work to keep me busy.
Other than that nasty day, things have been going well. I started reading this last night. I'm only a few pages into it so I can't really comment on it yet. I plan on getting lost in the story at lunch today. I usually fly out the door on my lunch hour to sort of get away but it's costing me too much money not only on gas but I'm always buying something on my outings.
Not much else to report. Just noshing on a banana and my coffee is running low. Better get a refill. Oh, I did update my links on the side there <<<<. I'm still working on a new banner. Just being lazy about it. Oh well.


BOY MAULED TO DEATH: A pit bull killed a young boy last night in the 8900-block of S. Carpenter in Chicago's Gresham neighborhood.
Witnesses tell us they tried to rescue the boy who sources say is believed to be 5-years-old.
A 5-year-old boy was mauled to death by a pit bull Monday night in the Auburn Gresham neighborhood on the South Side.
James W. Nevils III was attacked by the dog in the 8900 block of South Carpenter about 9:35 p.m., according to police and the Cook County medical examiner's office.
Nevils, who lived in the 8000 block of South Escanaba, was taken to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where he was pronounced dead at 10:08 p.m., authorities said.
Police and neighbors said the dog bit the 5-year-old boy in the throat about 9:35 p.m. Monday and didn't let go until neighbors in the 8900 block of South Carpenter Street repeatedly beat the dog, finally killing it.
Another neighbor, Bianca White, said she was pulling up to her home across the street when she saw young James Nevils' mother trying to get the dog off the boy.
"They were trying to drag it out of the house, I guess so people could help," White said. "So my brother went across the street to get a chair to get the dog off the baby, but it didn't work.
White said she had seen the dog in the neighborhood, and it had never caused any trouble.
Lewis said he heard screaming from inside the home and then saw the dog with James. "I wasn't thinking of nothing except getting the dog off the baby," he said.
Neighbors tried to save boy, 5, by pelting dog with stones.
CHICAGO (AP) — Police say a 5-year-old boy has been mauled to death by a dog on the South Side of Chicago.
Police say the attack happened Monday night in Gresham. The boy was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.
Neighbors told WLS-TV that people hit the dog with rocks and other objects, killing it and freeing the boy. They said the dog was a pit bull. Marquis Lewis says he didn't realize at first that the boy was being mauled.
Marquis Lewis, who tried to save the child, told ABC 7 Chicago: 'I don't know, I wasn't really thinking about nothing but getting the dog off the baby.
First responders found the boy unresponsive at the scene and rushed him to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn.
He was pronounced dead a short time later. It is not known which family the dog belonged to.
Neighbors told the station the mother and child may have been visiting the house at the time.
Police are yet to make any arrests.
CHICAGO (AP) – Police in Chicago have cited the owner of a dog that mauled a 5-year-old boy to death on the city's South Side.
Police say they issued two citations but no charges against the dog's owner. The citations were for owning an animal without up-to-date rabies shots and owning an animal without a license.
The owner's name was not released.
The Cook County medical examiner says a Tuesday autopsy found that 5-year-old James Nevils' death was an accident. Authorities say the boy died from multiple sharp and blunt force injuries to his head and neck.
This GoFundMe is setup in efforts to help pay for funeral services for James Nevils III A 5-year-old boy was killed by a dog on the city's South Side Monday May 25, 2015. There was no insurance policy and the family is in need of your help to bury the little boy. Anything will help towards the cause. If you have any questions or concerns please contact Alicia Nevils.
The family thanks you in advance for your help during this difficult time.
UPDATE – Chicago Animal Care and Control is once again refusing to acknowledge a pit bull that launched a fatal attack is a pit bull.
People can identify pit bulls by physical appearance. That obvious fact has been upheld by court decisions.
Powers' other statement is true, however, because every single pit bull does, in fact, have features consistent with the Dogo Argentino breed because pit bulls and other related gripping dog breeds were all foundation stock for the development of Dogo Argentinos which were developed for the exact same purposes as pit bulls and all gripping dogs – dog fighting and "hunting" by attacking large game. See this link and this link for more about Dogos and their relationship to pit bulls.
Thankfully, the dangerous gripping breed Dogo Argentino is still fairly scarce in the United States. On two pages of Dogo Argentino Breeder websites, no puppies were available immediately and all were being bred as catch dogs for hog dogging. On BYB breeder sites, there was one single Dogo puppy listed for $1800. The rest of the Dogo puppies were listed for between $2400 and $3300.
So, the expert handlers at CACC looked at a white (and some say white and brown) pit bull, with supposedly no other information, and jumped to the conclusion that instead of a pit bull mix, they were looking at different, rare, expensive, related pit fighting/big game hunting dog.
This is not the first time that CACC has tried to hide the pit bull. In 2010, after Johnny Wilson was killed by his daughter's 6 pit bulls, then director Cherie Travis contended that the killer dogs were completely unidentifiable mixed breeds.
It is downright frightening that CACC persists in misleading the public in order to protect pit bulls.
WHY DO WE CALL THEM 'PIT BULL TYPE DOGS'?
tears .. this is so horrific and so preventable. We might expect this in undeveloped nations, but in a country that spends BILLIONS on police and animal control.. these deaths are increasing. The existence of pitbulls as pets is a textbook example of everything that is wrong with the American Political System.


So here we are in the year 2009, and I've been thinking of some things that have been missing. Shouldn't we already have flying cars? Better infrastructure? More telecommuting? We live in a digital age and we still can't get things right such as dog food free of fertilizers or E.coli in your burgers.
To make this conversation a bit more intellectual, I'd like to discuss nuclear power. Yes, the "n" word of 2009. Many countries are scared by the potential dangers of nuclear power. I'm not talking in the form of weapons, but more so the use of energy. Honestly, they should be given the hazards of towns melting down and radioactive waste that has to be stored. Yet one particular country is in a unique bind - France. Since the oil shocks in the mid 1970's, the nation built a network of reactors (59 to be exact as of 2008) that now produce roughly four-fifths of the country's electricity. That is pretty amazing, but why? France has no oil, no coal and thus no choice! Secondly, a majority of their political leaders are trained scientists that are brilliant in various disciplines. And last but not least, they choose nuclear because quite frankly the decision-making process has been centralized. So while they might be energy independent, is it perhaps at too high of a cost or risk?
If it fits, Install it!

It is how debt consolidation loans work. And is usually an illusion to really living debt free. The loan provider, many times a third party to a debt counseling service, provides you with a loan that lowers your monthly payments. You may reason that by doing this they are saving you money, when they are actually costing you more. In order to lower your monthly payments they are combining your debt. Maybe you have three credit cards that combine or a couple of credit cards and a car loan. They combine this debt together and give you a consolidation loan that costs less per month than the total of the combined bills. They are able to do this by extending the term of the debt. You pay less per month, but over a longer period of time. Therefore, these types of debt consolidation loans cost more in the long-term in extended payments and interest.
It is not a stretch to find $ 10 a month out there somewhere that you are spending on non-essential items. Take that $ 10 a month and add it to your payment each month on the card with the smallest minimum. You will be surprised how fast you can pay off a credit card this way with a debt snowball. It will not be overnight, but once done you never have to worry about it again – unlike a debt consolidation loan.
Now that you have paid off that first credit card, take the monthly payment from it and add it to your next largest card. If your first card was costing you $ 20 a month minimum, and you added $ 10 a month to that, you now take that entire $ 30 a month and apply it to your second credit card. You will probably pay this one off even faster than the first. Now, you are drastically reducing credit card debt with the goal of complete elimination. What a great feeling!

How Long Do Vampires Live?

Vampires are purported to live forever, barring any type of attempt to kill them. Legend has it that a vampire can only be killed if it's stabbed through the heart with a stake, shot through the heart with a silver bullet, burned, beheaded or exposed to sunlight, although vampires are also intolerant of garlic, holy water and crucifixes.
According to popular belief among vampire enthusiasts, vampires drink blood from the living and hunt them under the cover of darkness. The vampire sucks the blood from the necks of its victims using its fangs, leaving behind the telltale two puncture holes in the victim.
Vampires are said to be able to take the form of a wolf or bat, a feature that allows them to take their victims by surprise. It is said that vampires have unparalleled strength and can be detected by their inability to cast a reflection in a mirror. Most vampires in popular culture sleep in coffins during the day while the mortal world is awake.
The original allure of the vampire is linked to the Romanian prince Vlad Tepes, who was also known as Vlad the Impaler. It is widely believed that Bram Stoker's Dracula character was based on Tepes. Researchers think that older versions of vampires were actually references to demonic entities.
