Logitech latest Bluetooth keyboard is designed for iOS devices, as a compact, portable, water-resistant keyboard for on-the-go typing. It's neither a case accessory nor does it offer any docking mechanism to prop up your iPad. It's just a multi-device compatible, standalone bluetooth keyboard, but that allows it to be slim and portable. if you have an existing iPad cover already with a prop function, which most people do, this makes for a great addition as a standalone iPad keyboard when you need one.
The top row is iOS centric, with shortcut keys for common iOS tasks. They allow you to return to the home screen, search, launch Siri and activate the multi tasking window or take a screenshot, and volume buttons. Your mileage may vary with other devices such as Windows or Android, but some aspect are common, such as search and volume control keys. But on Android, it will bring up the camera app with the front facing camera so you can stare at yourself. There's also a main button for activating Bluetooth to discovery mode which allows you to switch devices pretty quickly. Pretty convenient. There's a dedicated key for screenshots on iOS which is pretty convenient. The top-right corner of the keyboard is a button with a battery icon. Pressing it causes the small LED to light up, to mark the current level of the keyboard's battery. It boasts a long three month battery life, and through the course of review (around 4 weeks) i only needed to charge it on the first day. I used it fairly often, for typing articles and also for taking notes on the iPad. It's the same width as the iPad Air.
It's no surprise that people pay attention when Apple launches a new product. Just like how the iPhone and iPad revolutionise the phone and tablet market respectively, Apple's first foray to the wearable market have drawn significant attention.
The iWatch introduces a "digital crown" which acts as a control for the watch. Users can use the dial to interact and control the Watch, while not obscuring the display. You can scroll, zoom or press it to return to the home screen. It's rather brilliant to leverage on the crown as a control interface as it has always been part of an analog watch mechanism.
However, I wonder how does the watch work for left-handlers who wear their watch on their RIGHT wrist? The crown is in the wrong place!
I received the iCookie for review recently. The iCookie is a tiny Bluetooth-based Anti-Loss Tracker – about the size of a 50 cent coin. Do you spend significant time finding your little trinkets? It could be your wallet, work pass, and even keys. The iCookie aims to solve that problem by helping you keep track of your valuables. Just tag it with the iCookie – Technology's solution for the absent minded.
Just the other day, when getting ready to work, I just couldn't remember where I placed my wallet. It wasn't in the usual spot on the tablet and I was running late! After some frantic searches, I realised it was tucked away in a corner of my bag. This is where the iCookie could have saved me some precious time.
Ever since the change in Apple CEO, Apple secrecy and lockdown of upcoming device have never been the same. The iPhone 6 leaks have come fast and furious and now there are the following set of press / website images showcasing the iPhone 6. Looks like the ad concept art for the iPhone 6. There have been some talks on the function of the new hole that appears on the left of the ear speaker – could that be the environment sensor?
I can't verify the authenticity of these iPhone 6 pictures, but they are mostly consistent with what we know so far about the iPhone 6. Also, they are similar to the leaked phone model shown by Taiwanese celebrity Jimmy Lin. On the other hand, it just looks like nicely photoshopped images aligned to previous iPhone 4 and 5 images. Could just be a concept for now. Some other interesting bits though – 100g phone? I am calling the bluff now as that is even lighter than a 4 inch iPhone 5S. With the larger display and increased battery size, it would be more logical for an increased weight. Maybe Sapphire is much lighter, I need to check it out. The 100g iPhone 6 was a rumour that bounced around in Feb this year.
Activity tracker bracelets piqued my interest recently. I always thought their typical pricing of $100-$150 was a little too high considering some don't even have a display and rely completely on smartphone to view your stats. Fitbit Flex and Jawbone Up 24 are pretty much the market leaders but they are just too expensive for me. Thus when I came across the Vidonn X5 smart activity tracker bracelet, it caught my attention due to the promised features and low cost of only US$36.
Now that I tend to compute on the go, Wireless access has become extremely important. Previously, there was Wireless@SGx which required configuration and it also didn't seem to work on Windows 8 laptops. Well, IDA has now introduced a new technology to assist this process. In fact, on my new Singtel enabled phone the Wireless@SGx configuration set for SIM authentication had already been saved.
Devices that uses a SIM card, will be able to authenticate with the Wireless@SGx network automatically, without having to log in each time they access the free hotspots. They also set up their devices only once. So no more pains trying to remember old passwords and trying to reset them with convoluted SMS requirements.
Using EAP-SIM technology, the new sign-on process makes it much easier to log on to a wireless network. This does not sadly, works on laptops though so they are stuck with the old process.
Android phones without EAP-SIM also need to fall back on the previous method to login. This would mean phones such as the Redmi / Redmi 1S / Redmi Note etc. In order to use Wireless@SGX, they would need to configure via the SSA protocol – refer to my previous post on setting up for more information.
In addition, Windows phones are also not able to authenticate via this protocol.
Previously, users had to either log in each time they are at a hotspot or had to key in a number of settings offered by another one-time login procedure known as Seamless and Secure Access (SSA). The new hotspots will be set up in a number of new areas, including at train stations and popular tourist areas such as Orchard Road and Sentosa. Once again, sounds great on paper but fails in implementation as Wireless@SG had always been a Singaporean only access with the requirements of a +65 number to activate the service. IDA had since updated that tourist access would be available in June 2014 this year, so that's at least a positive change.
To increase overall wireless coverage, IDA is subsidising small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to set up more public hotspots under the Wireless@SG banner. They can get a one-time subsidy of up to S$2,400 to pay one of four operators here – SingTel, StarHub, M1 or Y5Zone – to set up a network. With it, they can either offer access to customers or use it for their operations, such as connecting up cashier machines or PCs. Not too bad, and good for service industry SMEs. The government regulator did not say how many users were using devices that had SIM cards, and who would benefit from the latest login method, but it believes more users will come onboard with portable devices, compared to laptops in the past.
The folks at IDA also came up with the following intro video, which looks good but don't think there's a real need for it anyway – guess it's part of the marketing budget.
Too often, it has to be said, the issue is not with telecom operators but cafe owners, for example, who don't bother to check if the network cable is connected or if a modem is turned on. This means users can sometimes detect and log in to a Wi-Fi network but still cannot go online. If such challenges are solved, the much easier automatic login system now should be a boon to regular users. Too bad, it won't work on my laptop for now.
Nonetheless, with reduced pain in connecting to the service, it would help increase adoption. In addition, with greater data requirements but only the typical 2GB mobile data cap, a on the go WiFi access would definitely come in handy.

US Secret Police Forces (SSB) Bomb Biochemical Plant Near Harvard University, 'Murdered Scientist Dr. Don C. Wiley's Pioneering Work Destroyed
By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Russian Subscribers
What Does it Mean
Reports are reaching us today, from Russian Intelligence sources, which say that the United States Military Secret Police Force, the Strategic Support Branch (SSB), and modeled after the Nazi Military's Secret Military Police Force known as the Schutzstaffel (SS), has begun operations in the United States to suppress the growing instances of internal dissent to that countries military regime.
This is the first instance, to our knowledge, that the American SSB has begun their long expected reign of terror upon the American people with this past weekends bombing in the United States Region of Colorado of a small village named Paonia, and of which 3 children were murdered.
From the United States Newspaper, The Denver Post we can read in their report titled "Paonia grieves for child victims of lodge blast", that says, "Authorities sifted for bodies and clues Monday in the charred rubble of a mountain lodge while family and townspeople grieved for the three youngsters believed killed in Saturday's explosion. "These were all our children," said Mildred Hudspeth, a 68-year-old homemaker who was shopping downtown Monday afternoon. Hudspeth said she cried Sunday morning when she heard that the children apparently perished in the blast or the fire that followed."
Not being reported about this event to the American people however is the true reason that this small village had been targeted by the SSB.
As reported by the United States Organization called "Bill Of Rights Defense Committee", this small and courageous American village had dare to challenge their militaristic leaders by the passing of a Resolution denouncing their loss of freedoms and further instructing their local police forces to, and as their Resolution states:
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE TOWN OF PAONIA, COLORADO:
1) The Town of Paonia has been, and remains, firmly committed to the protection of civil rights and liberties for all people.
2) The Town of Paonia affirms the following principles:
a. Every person has the right to be free from unreasonable search and seizure, as clearly stated in the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution.
b. Neither stops, nor arrests may be made without establishing reasonable suspicion or probable cause that a crime has been committed or is about to be committed.
c. Every person has a right to equal protection under the law and the right not to be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law, and
d. Every person has the right to free speech and freedom of association as provided under the First Amendment of the United States Constitution and court opinions thereon.
3) That when the Paonia Police Department engage in public safety intelligence gathering as part of law enforcement and of national security, it intends such intelligence gathering comply with the following policy: no information about political, religious or social views, associations, or activities shall be collected unless the information relates to public safety concerns or suspicion of criminal activity or the potential for criminal activity.
4) That the Town of Paonia affirms it commitment to human and civil rights and to unbiased policing as expressed in the policies of the Paonia Police Department, which firmly adheres to the principle that no law enforcement agency, or other Town agency may profile or discriminate against any person solely on the basis of ancestry, race, ethnicity, national origin, color, age sex, sexual orientation, gender variance, marital status, physical or mental disability, or religion, nor shall Town agencies assist other agencies in practices that violate these policies.
5) That the Town of Paonia affirms its strong opposition to terrorism, yet also affirms that any efforts to end terrorism should not be waged at the expense of essential civil rights and liberties of the people of the Town of Paonia, the United States of America and the World.
6) That the Paonia Town Clerk attest and affix the seal of the Town of Paonia to this Resolution and that a copy be transmitted to President George W. Bush, Attorney General Alfredo Gonzales, and Governor Bill Owens.
To the militaristic rulers of the United States there is much fear towards their rural areas as the American citizens who live in them are seen to be more and more resisting their loss of freedoms, increasing un-payable debts, loss of jobs, petty laws to numerous to name, know, or ever have hope of being obeyed and the continuing march of conquest throughout the world their military leaders are intent upon.
As reported this past January, 2005, about the SSB, and as reported by the American Newspaper the Washington Post in their article titled, "Secret Unit Expands Rumsfeld's Domain/New Espionage Branch Delving Into CIA Territory", it is said, "The Pentagon, expanding into the CIA's historic bailiwick, has created a new espionage arm and is reinterpreting U.S. law to give Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld broad authority over clandestine operations abroad, according to interviews with participants and documents obtained by The Washington Post. The previously undisclosed organization, called the Strategic Support Branch, arose from Rumsfeld's written order to end his "near total dependence on CIA"
Ever mindful to make sure that they are following the 'law' in this latest crackdown on internal dissent, and exactly like their Nazi Germany counterparts of the last century who were equally fastidious towards their 'laws', a United States historical organization named the Center for Cooperative Research, has detailed the significance of the SSB and its military organization by showing, "[These types of organizations] must report to Congress all 'deployment orders,' or formal instructions from the Joint Chiefs of Staff to position US forces for combat. But [the guidelines] ... state that special operations forces (SSB) may 'conduct clandestine HUMINT operations . . . before publication' of a deployment order, rendering notification unnecessary. Pentagon lawyers also define the 'war on terror' as ongoing, indefinite and global in scope."
Not being understood by many naive Americans this evening is that their own country, the United States, is a part of the 'globe', and as the grieving mothers and grandmothers in Paonia, Colorado can well attest to as they lay their dead babies into the ground.
To the power of this new American secret police unit, the SSB, to follow only those laws they choose, or none at all, is again a repeat of their Nazi counterparts, and as we can read about them from the British History Learning Site, and which says:
"In Nazi Germany the police were allowed to arrest people on suspicion that they were about to do wrong. This gave the police huge powers. All local police units had to draw up a list of people in their locality who might be suspected of being "Enemies of the State". This list was given to the Gestapo - the Secret Police. The Gestapo had the power to do as it liked. In 1936, the Gestapo Law meant that the activities of the Gestapo were free from any review by courts of law. This law effectively meant that the Gestapo became a law unto themselves. This non-uniformed branch of the SS became justifiably feared just as the visible presence of the black uniformed SS men did."
To even watch on television the scenes from American life today is like looking back into the darkest parts of Nazi Germany where always there was the presence of the Black Suited, Nazi Helmeted and machine gun carrying Police Forces. And not to the protection of the American people these Black Suited SSB forces are either! But, and again, like their Nazi counterparts of last century these Black Police Forces are for the protection of their government buildings against their own citizens, the smashing into of their citizens home in the dark of night to remove them to the camps of labor and extermination, the barrier that stands between the citizens of America and their ability to travel, but most of all because of the fearful image, and reminder, they serve to a population that all resistance is futile against them.
To the brave souls of the small village of Paonia, Colorado though, and as their babies are laid to rest, not even the fearful retribution by their brutal military authorities was able to stop them from proclaiming their rights as free people.
They should never be forgotten by the world, and it is assured that the American people themselves do not even know about this, and even if they did would not care. Because as I had previously stated to you in my report titled "Like Nazi Germany, And To the Worlds Horror, the United States Begins Murders of Sick Children and Disabled", news has reached us once again that shows the American peoples intention to begin the mass slaughter of their disabled by the continuing starving to death of an invalid against the wishes of her crying parents.
How well these insane Americans have learned the math problem found in every Nazi Germany school child's book:
"To keep a mentally ill person costs approximately 4 marks a day. There are 300,000 mentally ill people in care. How much do these people cost to keep in total? How many marriage loans of 1000 marks could be granted with this money?"
In Remembrance of these American Martyrs: Isaac Michael Watkins, age 2 Leslie Ann Bilbrey, age 12 Jamie Marie Reade, age 16
We must never forget.

HawtDawgGaming — I wrote a helper application. if you would look at it, it would be greatly appreciated.
So I tried migrating my account and that didn't work. I had to buy a new one. The username is MJ_1121. Can you update the new account so that I still have my rank, claims, suncoins, etc? I have no reason to play on my old account anymore so you can ban it, as you would anyway.
I'm planning on migrating my old minecraft account (mjohnson1229) to a new account. However, I need you help with a few things.
1) Can you transfer my Mercurii rank over to this new account once I make it?
2) Is there a way you can transfer over my claims under the mjohnson1229 account to this new account?
3) Can you transfer my Suncoins and Sunpoints over to this new account?

Sophomore seasons are hard for any show, but Project Runway Junior season 2 had especially big shoes to fill after a widely beloved initial run. Luckily for fans, this group of young designers lived up to the hype.
Always one with a great design inspiration, Chelsea will definitely have great stories to tell now. Her collection, which she described as a "transition from an android who slowly goes into nature and becomes human," wowed the judges and landed her the winner title of Project Runway Junior season 2.
Here, the 15-year-old designer talks with EW about the pressures of the final runway, her favorite looks from the season, and what's next. Watch the exclusive clip of the final moments of the show and then go on to read Chelsea's thoughts on season 2.
So how does it feel to be the winner of Project Runway Junior?
In Thursday's episode, your last critique from Tim Gunn was pretty harsh. Were you worried?
I realized that I had to alter every single outfit on top of making my finale piece. I was stressed. It's like I was MIA because I spent all of my time in the sewing room. I missed out on a lot of jokes that were made while I was busy saving my life. Eventually, I made it work… to my disbelief, and finished everything.
Who did you think was your biggest competition during the final runway show?
Seeing the collections for the first time, I thought Chris was the person to beat. But going into the final runway, I thought Izzy would be my biggest competition [because] she went into the runway with the best critique from Tim.
What's your favorite look from the whole season?
My favorite look this entire season is my episode 8 look [the street-art mural dress for Seventeen magazine]. Not because I think it's the prettiest, but because it shows the largest growth. I believe it really defines a turning point in my design aesthetic.
What's your favorite look from a fellow designer this season?
It would have to be Tieler's and Molly's avant-garde challenge look. The moment I saw it, I knew it was a winner. I also loved Izzy's first look for being whimsically genius.
So what's next for you… besides finishing high school?
I'm actually not going to finish high school… I think. I'm going to take the California High School Proficiency Exam so I can leave high school early and start my degree. I want to first go to FIDM, and then transfer to Parsons, so I can experience school on the East Coast. I'm also planning on doing an exchange program to either London or Japan, so I can be exposed to every option available. [But] to be honest, I'm not entirely sure what I'm going to do. It's all in the making and I'm a go-with-the-flow type of person. I definitely want to continue with my brand Chelsea Ma, but I also want to be open-minded with the future.


Kathy has contributed an essay to Voluntary Sector Northwest's publication on devolution, which brings together thoughts from many leaders in the sector and beyond.
Devolution has become an even more complex, potent and challenged concept since Britain voted for Brexit, not only for the ambitions for real devolution within England, but in the unravelling of what the longer-standing devolved arrangements really mean for the nations of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
more regional elected mayoralties beckon, many passionate people within the voluntary and community sector stand ready to bring their energy to embrace their new structures and representatives. Many, if not most that I speak to, also fear that their local and regional 'deals' offer too little room for significant change from 'business as usual' for the people, communities and regions who have been paying the highest and most crippling price for Whitehall's austerity policies.
One of the groups of people in society for whom all devolution deals are most poorly constructed are children and young people. The removal of vast swathes of schools to Whitehall control, as academies and free schools, leaves the most central and universal of all children's services and community assets beyond the powers and control of any new combined authority. This must be vigorously challenged (especially as more and more academies are now becoming financially unviable) as must Whitehall's steep nationwide disinvestment in the local bill for looking after children in care.
I believe the voluntary sector, locally and nationally, must be at the forefront of saying that the litmus test of any society – and any devolved power - will be whether it can create cities and regions fit for everychild and young person, fit for them to grow up healthy, happy, with a sense of pride and belonging, decent job prospects and chances of finding and sustaining a stable home.
Our belief at Children England is that a society that has children at heart is a better society for everyone. Making child-centredness the litmus test for devolution is not about pitching one need against another, one funding crisis against another funding priority. We are not only concerned for the children's services and finances left out by national funding and devolution settlements. No community or society that wants greater control over shaping its own future can do so if it lacks the ability to radically change the conditions for children, especially the most vulnerable.

Pathological aggregation of TDP-43 in age-related neurodegenerative diseases

Centerstone's BE WELL Project (Building Exceptional Wellness)
The transactive response DNA-binding protein of 43kDa (TDP-43) is a DNA- and RNA-binding protein recognized to form pathological amyloid inclusions in the brains of patients with age-related neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer?s disease, frontotemporal lobar degeneration, and cerebral age-related TDP-43 with sclerosis. Interestingly, these inclusions have also been found in subsets of clinically asymptomatic patients of the aging population, highlighting the need to understand the structural basis of disease development. Current evidence suggests that TDP-43 aggregation is facilitated by the production of C-terminal fragments of the protein that have a high propensity to form amyloid fibrils due to the presence of a low complexity domain (LCD)?a region with low amino acid diversity. In addition to forming amyloid fibrils, the TDP-43 LCD was recently identified to undergo liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS), a phenomenon whereby protein-protein interactions induce dynamic, reversible coacervation. Prolonged or repetitive coacervation is thought to drive pathological deposition of aggregates; however, a direct connection between TDP-43 LLPS and aggregation that would provide a mechanistic basis for Alzheimer?s disease and related neurodegenerative disorders has not been established. To better understand the structural underpinnings of TDP-43 amyloid aggregates and the role of LLPS in their formation, LCD aggregation conditions were screened and LLPS was identified to regulate amyloid polymerization. Because a comprehensive structural model for TDP-43 fibrils has yet to be proposed, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy was subsequently utilized to identify immobilized residues of the LCD that likely constitute the fibrillar core, the structural building block of amyloids. Interestingly, EPR spectra of residues within the fibrillar core did not suggest that the TDP-43 LCD adopts the most commonly observed cross-? organization?a parallel, in-register organization of ?-strands that is observed among other protein aggregates in Alzheimer?s disease. As such, we hypothesized that TDP-43 fibrils adopt a non-canonical structure. To test this hypothesis, we first propose a comprehensive EPR-based approach to (i) identify the full extent of residues involved in the fibrillar core, ascertain which residues participate in ?-strands and (ii) identify whether a parallel, in-register motif is present. If this motif can be ruled out, (iii) fiber X-ray diffraction will be used to differentiate non-canonical structures (antiparallel, ?-solenoid), and (iv) EPR-derived spin-spin distances will be used to determine the organization of residues at the intermolecular interface between fibrillar subunits. Preliminary data further suggest that LLPS might facilitate formation of an extended fibrillar core.
Our second aim therefore will identify whether LLPS alters the underlying cross-? structure of TDP-43 amyloids and propagates a structural polymorphism. This approach will thus provide structural insights about TDP-43 amyloids and ascertain whether LLPS might facilitate differential aggregation of amyloid fibrils in Alzheimer?s disease and related neurodegenerative disorders.
The identification of various TDP-43 protein aggregates in many age-related neurodegenerative diseases, including frontotemporal dementia, Alzheimer disease, and hippocampal sclerosis of aging, as well as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and even in clinically silent, aging individuals, highlights the importance of understanding how different protein aggregates contribute to disease development. This proposal aims to investigate the underlying structure of TDP-43 fibrillar aggregates and determine whether this structure is altered under the aggregation-promoting conditions of liquid phase separation. This will facilitate increased knowledge surrounding the molecular basis of TDP-43-related neurodegenerative diseases and can provide a framework for therapeutic insights at the protein aggregation level.

There's no doubt in the world that Labrador dogs are one of the best companion dogs to have. Labradors are loyal, intelligent, and kind. So if you're thinking of adding in Labrador puppies to the family, you must also do your homework in knowing what this dog breed can offer. Check out our Labrador dog guide below to get the information you need!
Are Labrador Retrievers Good Dogs?
There's absolutely nothing you can hate about Labradors and that makes them one of the ideal pet choices for first-time pet owners. They're a very loyal, friendly, and happy dog breed, which is just a delight to have around the family. They are people dogs and they love engaging in activities with anyone, even greeting a guest at the door excites them! They love outdoor activities like running, swimming, and playing fetch.
Now since Labrador Retrievers are people dogs, they are also keen on pleasing the people around them. This characteristic lets them be trained without a hitch. However, it is best to start training them as puppies as adult Labs can get rowdy during training. This is simply because they're full of energy and having to diligently listen through training is a boring thing for them. Moreover, it is a must to teach your Lab commands like "Stay!" "Down!" and other simple obedience commands early on.
The best way to approach training a Lab is to make training appear like play time since they love to play! This way, you will get their full attention and participation.
On the other hand, the only thing you need to worry about is their chewing and mouthing problems, which is fairly common among Labradors. Being highly energetic dogs, they always need something to keep them preoccupied. Give them chew toys so they won't target your shoes and furniture. Oh! These dogs can also get pretty clumsy when they're young–another reason to train them as early as puppyhood!
A Lab's appearance is characterized by a broad head, wide muzzle, and pendant ears. Forelegs tend to be straight and solid. The distinguishing feature of the Lab is the "otter" tail and their webbed feet, which is why hunters love using them for retrieving waterfowl.
How big can they get? Male Labs stand between 22.5 to 24.5 inches, while female Labs grow up to 21.5 to 23.5 inches. As for their weight, male Labs weight between 65 to 80 pounds on the average and 55 to 70 pounds for female Labs.
As for the Labs beautiful coat, they sport a short, dense coat that can come in either black, yellow, or chocolate colors. Like the Golden Retrievers, the Labs also have a double coat. The top coats are thick and short, while the undercoat is weather-resistant and soft.
As mentioned earlier, Labrador Retrievers are highly energetic dogs and will need things to keep them busy. Otherwise, they might play with your shoes instead. Furthermore, Labs need plenty of space to move around with. Houses with backyards are the ideal homes for Labs. They don't do well in apartment dwellings as they are pretty clumsy and large too.
With so much energy to spare, a Lab will always be up for any physical activity may it be walking or going hiking with you. This dog breed needs daily exercise and would gladly run around to burn off the energy. Let the Lab play with the kids or bring it biking with you; they'll love chasing you around. Labs also LOVE swimming! The fact is, a Lab needs its daily proper exercise or he will resort to destructive chewing.
When feeding a Lab, you can either give him kibble, raw food (BARF), wet food or home-cooked puppy food. To ensure that your dog or puppy gets his nutritional requirements, it's best to take him to the vet.
Nonetheless, if you want an idea on how much food to give your furry pal, you can use this feeding guide based on your dog's weight. For a Labrador puppy weighing 15 to 18 pounds, you can give him 7 to 9 ounces of food per day divided into four meals. For puppies weighing, 24 to 26 pounds, you can feed him 9 to 11 ounces of food per day divided into three meals. Labs weighing 50 to 60 pounds, you can feed him 12 to 16 ounces of food per day divided into two meals.
Aren't Labs so fun to have? It looks like these dogs know how to party!
Just like their Golden counterpart, the Labrador sheds all-year-round as well, thus needing regular brushing. They also tend to develop doggie odor quicker than others so frequent bathing is a must too. Not to mention, they like getting dirty outdoors when its playtime. But don't you worry, since Labs love the water, it will be an easier feat to give them a bath compared to other dog breeds.
Moreover, make sure to check the ears on a weekly basis for any signs of infection and wax buildup. Brush his teeth weekly to prevent dental problems and keep his breath fresh. Monthly Nail trimming is also needed.
If you want to own a Labrador puppy, you will have to prepare at least $1,500 at a minimum to buy one from a reputable breeder. On the other hand, if you want to adopt one from the shelter, all you need to pay is $37 for the adoption fee. Now if you want to foster puppies from the rescue, you will need to pay $350 to $400 for the adoption fee.
Back in the 1800s, Newfoundland travels saw dogs that were helping the local fishermen with net hauling. The Labs are the small black dog then. The Earl of Malmesbury reportedly saw one of these water dogs on a fishing boat and established a breeding kennel into perfect this dog breed, turning the water dogs into retrievers and water dogs. At that time, there was a huge market for water dogs and they were sold to fishermen to help them with hauling their nets. However, the popularity of these dogs significantly decreased after that.
The popularity of the Lab rose again throughout the 20th and 21st century. The Lab excelled both in the field and in shows. Field dogs were described as leaner and more energetic, while show dogs were described to be stockier and shorter in stature. More than these, the Lab rose in popularity as family companions, guide dogs, and service dogs. Their excellent sense of smell also makes them very helpful in detecting drugs and explosives.
One of the coolest and unbelievable facts about the Labrador Retriever is that they are indeed America's most loved dogs! For 24 years in a row, the Labs have topped the charts of American Kennel Club's Most Popular Dog Breeds in America! What an achievement!
It's really hard to resist the Labrador's charm and it's no surprise why this is America's most popular dog breed for the past two centuries. They're very lovable, highly loyal, and super friendly. They're great with the kids and even friendly towards strangers and other dogs. So if you want a dog that will always be up for any outdoor activity at the same time, greet you with so much enthusiasm and excitement the moment you walk in the door, then the Lab is definitely for your family!
Have you ever tried training an adult dog? That can be a challenge! We'd like to hear your experiences in the comments section below!

South African doctor who flagged Omicron claims variant not causing serious illness
Angelique Coetzee, part of the team that discovered the new COVID-19 strain, says even unvaccinated patients treated by her have had mild symptoms
By AFP	28 November 2021, 11:09 pm Edit

PRETORIA, South Africa — A South African doctor who raised the alarm over Omicron said Sunday dozens of her patients suspected of having the new variant had only shown mild symptoms and recovered fully without hospitalization.
Angelique Coetzee, chair of the South African Medical Association, told AFP she had seen around 30 patients over the past 10 days who tested positive for COVID-19, but had unfamiliar symptoms.
"What brought them to the surgery was this extreme tiredness," she said, speaking from Pretoria, where she practices.
She said this was unusual for younger patients.
Most were men aged under 40. Just under half were vaccinated.

They also had mild muscle aches, a "scratchy throat" and dry cough, she said. Only a few had a slightly high temperature.

These very mild symptoms were different from those in other variants, which gave more severe symptoms.
Coetzee alerted health officials of a "clinical picture that doesn't fit Delta" — South Africa's dominant variant — on November 18, when she received the first seven of her 30-odd patients.
She said South African scientists had by then already picked up on the variant, then just known as B.1.1.529, which they announced on November 25.
The news sparked a panicked flurry of travel bans on southern Africa as countries raced to contain its spread — measures the South African government deems "rushed" and unjust.
Coetzee said it was unfortunate that Omicron had been hyped as "this extremely dangerous virus variant" with multiple mutations while its virulency was still unknown.
The World Health Organization has designated it a variant of concern, and scientists are working to assess its behavior.

The highly mutated variant is thought to be very contagious and resistant to immunity, although its ability to evade vaccines is still being assessed.
"We are not saying that there will not be severe disease coming forward," Coetzee said.
But "for now, even the patients that we have seen who are not vaccinated have mild symptoms."
"I'm quite sure… a lot of people in Europe already have this virus," she remarked.
Official statistics show that nearly three-quarters of the COVID-19 cases reported in South Africa in recent days have been identified as Omicron.
Since South Africa shared its discovery, a number of countries have detected Omicron infections in recent days, including Australia, Italy, the UK and Belgium.
"We will see a rise in cases," Coetzee warned.
The continent's worst-hit country has seen its daily COVID positivity rate jump from 3.6 percent on Wednesday to 9.2% on Saturday.
Numbers remain relatively low compared to the world's most affected nations, however, with around 2.9 million cases and 89,791 deaths reported to date.

NOW, NEW ZEALAND BLASTS ARGO FOR HISTORICAL INACCURACY
March 12, 2013 by admin · Leave a Comment
It's not only Iran that's miffed over the historical accuracy of the Oscar-winning film Argo. The parliament of New Zealand today (Tuesday) unanimously passed a motion expressing "regret that the director of the movie Argo saw fit to mislead the world about what actually happened." The movie suggests that the New Zealand embassy in Tehran refused to help in the escape of six American diplomats — when in fact, in the words of the motion, "our courageous New Zealand diplomats' inspirational actions were of significant help to the American hostages." The motion called for "the factual and historic record to be corrected" and criticized Prime Minister John Key for not sending "a strong protest message" to Hollywood. Meanwhile, the Associated Press is reporting that Iranian officials are considering filing a lawsuit against the producers of Argo alleging that the movie represents a "violation of international cultural norms" and "a propaganda attack against our nation and entire humanity." However, the wire service observed, "It remains unclear what specific charges Iran could raise and what court Tehran could turn to if the action goes ahead."


[Narrator voice]: "The CITYYY of Gothamville."
Karachi-based graphic designer and comic artist Moin Nazim mashed up two things that were a part of nearly every '90s childhood: The Powerpuff Girls, and DC comics and films.
"One day I was just doodling The Mayor, and after I drew a pickle in his hand, I thought, What if I draw kryptonite instead and make him look like Lex?" Nazim told BuzzFeed of his process.
The series is a 10-character mashup.
And the PPG characters fit surprisingly well with their DC crosses.

The Duke of Edinburgh has been admitted to hospital as a "precautionary measure" for treatment of an infection arising from a pre-existing condition, Buckingham Palace said.
Philip was supposed to be accompanying the Queen to the State Opening of parliament on Wednesday but his place has been taken by the Prince of Wales.
"Prince Philip is in good spirits and is disappointed to be missing the State Opening of Parliament and Royal Ascot.
"The Prince of Wales will accompany the Queen to the State Opening.
"Her Majesty is being kept informed and will attend Royal Ascot as planned this afternoon."
The Duke was at the Queen's side on Tuesday for the opening day of Royal Ascot and seemed in good spirits.
He has enjoyed good health throughout much of his life, recovering from a blocked coronary artery in 2011 and a bladder infection in 2012, the latter leading him to miss the majority of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee celebrations.
His decision to retire from public duties after the summer was not health-related, Buckingham Palace said at the time of the announcement earlier this year.
The Duke is an advocate of healthy eating combined with exercise. He once said he more or less followed the Atkins diet and he drinks only moderately.
He takes the stairs rather than lifts and still fits into the uniform he wore on his wedding day.
He is well-known for his robust constitution. He told a flu expert at a research centre last year that he had not had the illness for 40 years.
It is understood the Duke was not admitted as an emergency but, on the advice of a doctor, was driven from Windsor Castle to hospital in London on Tuesday evening.
Buckingham Palace would not go into details of Philip's condition or the type of infection but his past history of a bladder infection could indicate his current problem.
He was reported to have been up and about on Wednesday morning, indicating the medical issue is not serious enough to leave him bed-bound.
He was said by a source to be on "good form" at Royal Ascot on Tuesday when he and the Queen were joined by many members of their family, including Charles and Camilla, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, the Duke of York and the Earl and Countess of Wessex.
It is not known how long Philip will be kept in hospital but it could be a few days to allow any treatment to take effect.


When disaster strikes, whether natural or man-made, demolition contractors are often called to duty to take down unsafe structures and remove debris. Demolition of structurally unsound buildings and debris removal is usually complicated by the presence of hazardous materials like asbestos, PCBs, lead, and other substances, so it is essential that contractors are HAZWOPER-trained and highly experienced in disaster response.
Demolition contractors can play a role not only in post-disaster cleanup, but as part of a First Response team. Demolition teams can aid in identifying and mitigating dangerous materials and conditions that can pose a multitude of health and safety hazards to help free trapped victims in the immediate aftermath of a disaster. Qualified contractors come equipped with sophisticated demolition equipment, specialized safety equipment, thorough knowledge of physical and mechanical aspects of structures, experience in handling and removing large amounts of debris, and in-depth hazmat training.
Besides the instability of unsound structures and piles of debris, other health and safety hazards at a disaster site include combustible or explosive gases, asbestos-containing materials, airborne asbestos and lead dust, mold and bacteria, the release of hazardous substances from storage tanks. With over eight years in the demolition industry, R. Baker & Son All Industrial Services has responded to numerous disasters. All demolition management and field personnel are fully trained and certified in disaster response, undergoing 40 to 60 hours OSHA training and Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER) training, as well as extensive training and certification in confined space entry, emergency response, first aid, and CPR.

Airbnb host who canceled reservation over race…
Airbnb host who canceled reservation over race fined $5,000
By Associated Press and Michael Balsamo |
PUBLISHED: July 13, 2017 at 12:00 a.m. | UPDATED: September 12, 2018 at 12:00 a.m.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — An Airbnb host who cancelled a reservation and told the guest, "One word says it all. Asian," has agreed to pay a $5,000 fine and attend a college course in Asian-American studies, officials with the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing said Thursday.
The guest, Dyne Suh, had booked the home as part of a ski trip with her fiancé and friends in Big Bear in February. When she was close to the house, Suh messaged host Tami Barker through the Airbnb app, but the host cancelled the reservation after a dispute over additional guests.
Barker told Suh in a series of messages that she wouldn"t rent to her if she were the last person on Earth.
"One word says it all. Asian," one of the messages said.
When Suh told Barker that she would complain to Airbnb, Barker wrote, "It"s why we have Trump … I will not allow this country to be told what to do by foreigners."
Suh, who posted an emotional video about the incident on YouTube, has said she"d agreed to pay $250 per night to rent the home and later asked Barker if two other friends could also stay at the house, which Barker agreed to. Suh sent Barker screenshots of text messages where she agreed to the additional guests, but Barker cancelled the reservation.
As part of an agreement with state officials, Barker also agreed to personally apologize to Suh and perform community service at a civil rights organization.
A message left at a number listed for Barker was not immediately returned. Her attorney, Edward Lee, said his client was "regretful for her impetuous actions and comments" and is pleased to have resolved the matter.
Suh said in a statement posted on Facebook that she was pleased the settlement included Barker"s agreement to attend an Asian-American studies course and hoped the settlement would encourage others to report discrimination.
"I hope that more victims of discrimination will feel encouraged to come forward with their own stories," Suh wrote. "Your pain is not insignificant and you are not alone."

If you've been paying attention to the mobile scene, then you've probably seen Asus' Transformer Book T100 coming from miles away. Asus planted the first seed with the Eee PC, which brought basic, highly portable Windows computing to the masses. Netbooks like the Eee PC sold for only a few hundred bucks, much less than the grand or more one had to pay for ultraportables of that era.
The netbook craze burned brightly but briefly. Before long, the iPad arrived, spawning a tablet revolution that would have an even greater impact on the mobile PC industry. The first tablets were slimmer and sexier than netbooks. Thanks to intuitive touchscreen interfaces and fancy displays, they were also ideally suited to couch surfing and general media consumption—home turf for netbooks at the time.
Netbooks still had an edge for productivity, which really requires a keyboard and a precise mouse pointer, but tablets soon obliged with separate accessories. Asus opted for a more integrated approach; its first Transformer convertible combined a traditional tablet with a touchpad-equipped keyboard dock.
The Transformer concept was refined over several generations of Android devices before finally jumping to Windows in the VivoTab RT. Although that system was ultimately hampered by its ARM-based OS, the VivoTab hinted at the potential for a comparable config based on the full version of Win8. Unfortunately, the x86 camp didn't really have anything capable of taking on the ARM-based titans of the tablet world. Intel's Clover Trail Atom came close, but it was ultimately held back by weak graphics and dated CPU cores.
The latest Bay Trail Atom chip is far more potent, and it's been joined by a Win8.1 update that promises a more refined version of the touch-friendly Windows formula. Those developments apparently set the mood just right for the Eee PC and Transformer to produce their first true offspring: the Transformer Book T100.
Even though the Eee PC and Transformer have long been on a collision course, Asus still managed one surprise: the T100's $350 starting price. That's incredibly cheap for an honest-to-goodness Win8.1 convertible with a 10" IPS display, a quad-core Bay Trail SoC, 32GB of flash storage, and a touchpad-infused keyboard dock with USB 3.0 connectivity.
The $400, 64GB version arrived in our labs late last week, and I've been using it non-stop ever since—not only because I've been in crunch mode on this review, but also because I'm genuinely enjoying my time with the thing. Read on to see why.
We don't bother with unboxing videos here at TR. However, it's a shame my facial expression wasn't captured when I unwrapped the T100. Initial excitement turned instantly sour when I saw the glossy plastic on the back of the tablet. Asus has relapsed, I thought to myself.
You may recall that Asus was responsible for all too many netbooks with fingerprint-prone finishes. The company appeared to be kicking the habit with its first Transformer tablets, which were clad in matte and textured surfaces that resisted unsightly smudges. Glossy plastic was banished from the company's notebooks, too. Unfortunately, it has returned in the T100, where it covers the one surface most likely to be cradled in the user's oily mitts.
Handling the T100 for even a few minutes deposits visible fingerprints on the back of the tablet. Eventually, the rear panel becomes a mess of streaks and smudges. Those blemishes end up being a lot more noticeable than the subtle radial pattern layered under the glossy top coat.
The Transformer Book's budget isn't rich enough for a brushed aluminum exterior. However, the keyboard dock demonstrates that Asus has suitable alternatives in its arsenal. The T100's secondary component is draped in matte plastics that seem largely immune to smudging. The top piece covering the keyboard tray and palm rests has a lightly brushed texture, while the underbelly sports a soft-touch finish. Both surfaces hold up much better than the glossy plastic.
Snapping the tablet into the keyboard dock produces a satisfying click. The release mechanism is a little stiff, but it holds the tablet tightly. There's no wobble in the hinge, either.
Although the docking system seems strong, the keyboard dock is a little flexy. Ours was warped slightly right out of the box, causing the right front corner to lift slightly with the system sitting flat. Bending the dock back into shape didn't take too much effort, but it shouldn't have been necessary in the first place.
Apart from some flex in the keyboard, the dock and tablet both feel sturdy. They weigh 1.2 lbs each, and the balance is just right. Unlike previous Transformers, the T100 isn't on the verge of tipping over if the screen is tilted all the way back. Asus actually added weight to the dock to ensure that the T100 wouldn't be as tippy as its predecessors.
Despite the dead weight in the dock, the T100 is hardly a chore to carry. The tablet portion is light enough to hold comfortably with one hand, and I've had the complete clamshell perched on my lap for hours with no ill effects. The system has barely made a crease in my pants.
The tablet is 0.4" thick, so it's not the skinniest slate around. I don't find myself longing for a thinner profile, though. Even with the extra 0.4" added by the dock, the T100 doesn't feel too chunky. For reference, that's an American nickel in the picture above.
Even though the Transformer Book T100 isn't the thinnest or lightest device out there, there's no questioning its ultraportable credentials. Now, let's take a closer look at the screen.


a very good bb cream!!
A sunblock that I bought due to it has SPF 50+ PA+ and Biore's sunblock is not so greasy compared to Banana Boat's. I got mine from Watsons and I like its watery yet fast-drying texture. The cool sensation after application is quite enjoyable. Sheer coverage on blemishes, however it's handy enough for me who need fast application when I go for outdoor activity without the need of make-up.
I use it as primer of my foundation makeup!
It helps to cover the acne and spot of my face. I love it so much!!

Q: Capacitor decade box I'm assembling a capacitor decade box. It will be used to tune circuits both in power & high frequency electronics (but, probably not GHz RF; with all the parasitics).
So, I need it to be as low tolerance as possible (high accuracy), whilst having low esr (for ideal behavior), low leakage (for DC), works at high frequencies (for AC), high tolerance to ripple current (so to not be aged too quickly) & lastly, a long lifespan (that the the characteristics do not change too appreciably given years & years).
Maybe also a capacitor type that does not have polarity or not too sensitive to over/reverse voltage would be good as well.
Anybody knows the best capacitor that fits this unicorn ideal capacitor description?

A: For pF up to about 100nF and 50V or 100V (1uF if you are willing to put some in parallel or pay through the nose), NP0/COG ceramic capacitors.
For (somewhat) higher capacitances, stacked film such as PPS (Polyphenylene Sulfide) is pretty good in terms of tempco and dissipation constant.

A: Stack ceramic caps in parallel, it will lower ESR since resistors in parallel get very small and caps increase in parallel, same as ESL (eevblog, why do we stack caps).
I also recomend capacitance multiplier circuit explained on eevblog, you could work from there and play with gain for diffrent capacitance, but I don't know the complications that comes with such circuit for your applications.

When someone invites you to a free multi-course meal, a flurry of thoughts pop into your head – like "What weirdo will I have to sit next to?" or "Is this really a meal, or a sequence of tasters that I'll have to chase with Taco Bell?" and "Is it worth putting on pants for?"
I've attended plenty of dinner parties and culinary circle jerks in my past, where afterward I stumble out to my car like a greasy-faced Violet Beauregarde, questioning my high blood pressure-inducing life choices. This dinner was different, though; it was gonna be made with pot, it was actually a lunch, and it was super-down-low secret, y'all.
I saddled up in a popular dining establishment that had closed for the day for this speakeasy-style, pot-fueled pop-up, greeted by a crowd of giggling strangers and one dude who was already blissed out in the corner. My fellow diners were uber-trendy and affiliated with the restaurant that was hosting the meal, and our chef was visible via the open-concept kitchen, hard at work preparing our meal.
"Grab some nuts, they're covered in weed," slurred the smokin'-hot diner to my right. He was a trainer and also my future ex-boyfriend. Arrayed on the table before us were some bowls of assorted weedy nuts, a plate of weed bread with weed-infused oil to brush on it, and an Old-Fashioned cocktail with a weed tincture in it.
Edibles can affect you in delayed waves, so you should always go slow. But that's something you forget when you're hungry and faced with multiple courses of yummy comfort food and a room full of strangers you don't really want to talk to. That trainer guy was so hot, I didn't want him to think I was a pig (or even that I ate food) but, as the dishes kept coming and my face became progressively more numb, I just kept eating. And eating. But so did he, because he's a gentleman and didn't want me to feel like a disgusting fat human. And the food was amazing. And we were super stoned.
The dishes were expertly prepared and featured fancy marijuana strains that sounded like My Little Pony characters. Our unnamed and anonymous chef gave us a little show-and-tell with the actual buds that she used in her recipes.
• Gorilla Glue, or GG4, is a potent hybrid strain that is a bit euphoric and super-relaxing. It leaves you feeling "glued" to the couch, hence the name. It was chunky and had resin-covered buds that smelled like a hippie I dated once who never wore underwear.
• Blue Dream was the No. 1 seller in Colorado and Washington state in 2015, probably because of its invigorating, energizing "brain high."
• Holy Grail Kush is super-strong, with a THC level of over 20 percent, but still really mellow. It smelled like citrus and made me want to make out with the trainer in an orange grove.
• Alpine Star is a sativa-dominant hybrid out of California that was a total body stone but not a sedative. It's used to treat patients suffering from chronic pain, depression or nausea.
The aforementioned nuts (not the trainer's) were made with Blue Dream and coconut oil. The bread was accompanied by a butter made with Blue Dream, followed by a lemony Caesar salad made with Alpine Star. The main course included a family-sized dish of decadent macaroni and cheese accompanied with the biggest chunks of pork belly I'd ever seen and a side of Brussels sprouts. (The mac and cheese might have been made with GG4? Not sure, y'all – did I mention I was super high?) And for dessert we had a brown butter cake with a Holy Grail dulce de leche.
We all lingered as the weed seeped into our crevices, like lunch was a giant Mary Jane tea bag and we the jar full of water in the sun on your porch. We were baked. And completely full of delicious, finger-licking weed food. I pretended to drive my car home but parked it around the corner and flopped myself into a Lyft like a beached dolphin, "ee-ee-ing" at the driver to get me home fast – all the while wondering if I should have snagged that leftover macaroni and cheese when the hot trainer wasn't looking.
Editor's note: This party was part of a series of secret pop-up private meals by a local chef that are hosted in homes, offices and restaurants, featuring different menus every time but always with that key ingredient: cannabis.


Wichita Falls, named for a 5-foot waterfall considered significant in these flat parts, is an agricultural and ranching center that boomed during the 1930's with the discovery of oil. Agriculture, petroleum and manufacturing of auto parts and aviation components are the economic mainstays; there is a small Air Force base and a small four-year college in addition.
Like many small Texas towns, Wichita Falls is plain, clean, and quiet. There is a small set of local amenities such as a symphony, ballet, theater, and art museum, and a number of lakes around the area. The crime rate has been historically high. For big-city services and amenities, the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex is 135 miles southeast.
The town is located in the North Central Plains of Texas, just south of the Red River separating Texas and Oklahoma. The topography is level to gently rolling agriculture and mesquite plain with few trees. The region lies between the humid subtropical climate of east Texas and the continental climate of the north and west. Climate is variable with rapid temperature changes, temperature extremes, and erratic rainfall. Summers are warm to hot with low humidity and lots of sun and wind. Temperatures frequently exceed 100 degrees F. Polar air masses moving down from the north during winter can drop temperatures 20 to 30 degrees within an hour. While variable, winters are on the whole relatively mild with few sub-zero readings. Snow accumulation occurs only once or twice a year. Most rainfall comes from brief showers, and prolonged dry periods are common.

Dr. Christine Fiorite of JJC trains K-16 English language teachers in Cairo and Luxor
3 years ago By Shawn Genzone
The US State Department initiated the English Language Specialist program for which 80 US citizens were selected. Dr. Christine Fiorite, an English tutor at the Junior Joliet College, was among those 80 US citizens. According to the program, the specialists will assist the US embassies to deliver and maintain an overseas language program.
Dr. Fiorite provided training to the K-16 school teachers who work with the students with visual impairment. She worked with 50 teachers in Cairo and Luxor, the cities of Egypt. She said, "One of the focuses of the workshops was understanding the importance of inclusive education." Dr. Fiorite has the experience of over 20 years in the US and abroad. She taught at the United Arab Emirates University in Al Ain, Abu Dhabi from 2012 to 2016. She has been serving in the Tutoring and Learning Center (TLC) of the JJC for the past three years.
She said, "When I decided to move back to be closer to my family in Morris in 2016, I knew I could not be away from my family so long." She said that she still wanted to be active at the international level. Fiorite taught the teachers to develop self-advocacy skills. She focused on the community-building activities and supportiveness between the teachers and the students with visual impairment and blindness.
She said that she made a motto for the program that 'Alone we can do little; together we can do so much'. She appreciated the program as it provided the opportunity for her to make new relations and meet new teachers. She admired the hospitality and generosity of the Egyptians. She said, "The Egyptians were very welcoming and generous."
Dr. Fiorite said that she enjoyed working with so many inspiring teachers. She hoped for keeping her international status on for some time. She took help from Mindy Diaz before joining the program. Diaz was the manager of JJC's Disability Services at that time. Florite said that Diaz was a key to her successful visit.

Aphids Bamboo Insect Aphids on bamboo are yellowish to light green insects with pear-shaped bodies. They typically feed in large clusters on the underside of leaves and may produce large amounts of honeydew. The shiny, sticky honeydew can become covered with a growth of black sooty mold. Bamboo plants heavily infested with aphids may show yellowing, distorted or dead foliage and stunted shoots.
Bamboo spider mite Bamboo Insect The bamboo spider mite is a tiny, eight-legged mite that feeds on the underside of leaves. The mites typically produce flat sheets of fine webbing. Mite feeding results in yellow to brownish stippling (tiny dots) on the leaves. Heavy spider mite infestations can reduce plant growth. Infestations are often worse during dry, dusty conditions.


What can we say about Starr that could truly describe the kind of life she has lived except her life has been anything but easy! Starr and her babies found themselves in a city shelter and without much hope of a future. Without rescue they all would have been euthanized. Luckily Little Shelter stepped in and they made it to safety. Unfortunately Starr probably lived in squalid conditions before being abandoned in the city shelter and her pups were critically ill.
Two of her pups died but the other 2 pulled through. Starr was a fantastic mom and her babies were very well taken care of. Now Starr is enjoying a life of leisure. She gets to spend her days living it up at our Sanctuary.

From Chatterton's Pre-Raphaelite demise to Keats' death warrant in a smudge of arterial blood; from Dylan Thomas's eighteen straight whiskies to Sylvia Plath's desperate suicide in the gas oven of her Primrose Hill kitchen or John Berryman's leap from a bridge onto the frozen Mississippi, the deaths of poets have often cast a backward shadow on their work.
The post-Romantic myth of the dissolute drunken poet - exemplified by Thomas and made iconic by his death in New York - has fatally skewed the image of poets in our culture. Novelists can be stable, savvy, politically adept and in control, but poets should be melancholic, doomed and self-destructive. Is this just a myth, or is there some essential truth behind it: that great poems only come when a poet's life is pushed right to an emotional knife-edge of acceptability, safety, security? What is the price of poetry?
In this book, two contemporary poets undertake a series of journeys - across Britain, America and Europe - to the death places of poets of the past, in part as pilgrims, honouring inspirational writers, but also as investigators, interrogating the myth. The result is a book that is, in turn, enlightening and provocative, eye-wateringly funny and powerfully moving.
"So much material of such innate interest is presented with just the right balance of panache, wit, insight and elegy… A good, clever, kindly and enjoyable book it is, like eavesdropping on two smarter friends when they are sparking off each other… Farley and Roberts are always entertaining and illuminating, gentle guides and quixotic questers."
