«Will You Be There» () — песня американского автора-исполнителя Майкла Джексона, восьмой сингл из его восьмого студийного альбома Dangerous. Был выпущен на лейбле Epic Records в июне 1993 года.

Композиция, выдержанная в жанрах госпела и спиричуэлса была использована в качестве саундтрека для фильма «Освободите Вилли». За неё Джексон получил награду «MTV Movie Awards» в категории  «Лучший саундтрек». Видеоклип на песню представляет собой компиляцию кадров из концертных выступлений Джексона и фильма «Освободите Вилли».

Композиция стала 6-й в американском хит-параде Billboard Hot 100. В Великобритании она поднялась на девятую строчку и оказалась в тройках чартов Новой Зеландии, Бельгии, Нидерландов и Швейцарии.

История создания и особенности композиции
«Will You Be There» была написана Джексоном на его ранчо Неверлэнд в период подготовки альбома Dangerous. Звукорежиссёр Брэд Баксер вспоминал, что партия ударных инструментов была выстроена на записи битбокса Джексона. Певец хотел получить сухое звучание без каких-либо эффектов. В записи принял участие хор .

Песню открывает 67-секундное вступление из Симфонии № 9 Людвига ван Бетховена, оно использовано на альбоме Dangerous в качестве перехода из хард-роковой атмосферы «Give in to Me» в совершенно другую, открывая перед слушателем новый по выразительности стилистический ландшафт. Композиция построена в строфической песенной форме без припева, способствующей развитию импровизаций и формы , характерных для жанра госпела. Текст композиции представляет собой молитву о силе, мужестве и преодолении препятствий. Атмосфера, созданная эффектами отражения вокала, имитирует церковную акустику. Когда музыка стихает, певец завершает композицию монологом, по мнению рецензента журнала  он представляет собой настоящую молитву.

Текст «Will You Be There» был опубликован в книге Джексона  («Dancing the Dream»).

Выпуск сингла и реакция критиков
«Will You Be There» была использована в качестве саундтрека к фильму «Освободите Вилли», композиция была выпущена синглом перед началом проката ленты 28 июня 1993 года. В продажу песня поступила на виниловых пластинках и компакт-кассетах. Композиция стала 6-й в американском хит-параде Billboard Hot 100. В Великобритании она поднялась на девятую строчку и оказалась в тройке чартов Новой Зеландии, Бельгии, Нидерландов и Швейцарии. В 1994 году Джексон получил за «Will You Be There» награду «MTV Movie Awards» в категории «Лучший саундтрек». Сингл имеет платиновую сертификацию в США.

Рецензируя альбом Dangerous в 1991 году, журналист Rolling Stone писал, что песне «не хватило огня». Однако, рассматривая «Will You Be There» много лет спустя, критики издания назвали песню одной из самых грандиозных записей Джексона. Кроме того, они отметили её автобиографичность: «Эта госпел-композиция продолжает тематику, заданную по ходу карьеры певца: это дорога от безграничного доверия "I'll Be There" и "Got to Be There" до страха и одиночества "Will You Be There"». В Los Angeles Times журналист сопоставил песню с другим треком из альбома — «Keep the Faith», назвав их «странным сочетанием спиричуэлсов в красивом обрамлении голосов хора Андре Крауча».

Концертные выступления и музыкальное видео
Впервые Джексон исполнил «Will You Be There» в ноябре 1991 года на концерте, посвящённом 10-летию телеканала MTV. Затем композиция вошла в сет-лист мирового тура музыканта Dangerous World Tour (1992—93 гг.). Фрагмент песни был исполнен певцом в 1993 году на церемонии вручения наград «NAACP Image Award».

Компиляция из концертных выступлений и кадров из фильма «Освободите Вилли», смонтированная  была запущена в ротацию на телеканалах в качестве видеоклипа. Ролик вошёл в сборник видеоклипов Джексона Dangerous – The Short Films. Выступление на концерте тура Dangerous World Tour было выпущено на DVD .

Судебные разбирательства
«Will You Be There» стала предметом двух судебных разбирательств. В 1991 году Кливлендский оркестр подал иск на компании Sony Music и  на 7 млн долларов за незаконное использование в песне их исполнения музыки Бетховена. По словам адвоката команды Джексона, представители лейбла были осведомлены о том, что певец собирается использовать отрывок произведения, и не возражали. Музыканты и продюсеры были уверены, что разрешение получено. Иск был урегулирован вне суда следующим образом: на дальнейших тиражах альбома и сингла оркестр был указан среди участников записи.

В 1992 году иск в миланский суд подал Аль Бано. Итальянский певец обвинил Джексона в плагиате его песни «I Cigni Di Balaka». Тяжба в различных судебных инстанциях длилась около 9-ти лет, в марте 2001 года Джексон был признан невиновным.

Application of an Entropy Analysis to Four-Cycle Engine Simulation
Published February 01, 1990 by SAE International in United States
Event: International Congress & Exposition
This paper outlines some developments in engine modelling techniques and details the results of an extensive validation exercise. This validation was conducted in two distinct parts: firstly, on a specially constructed rig, and, secondly, using engine test results. The test rig described was constructed in such a way as to rigourously test the theories employed. Comparisons were made between measured and predicted pressure traces and air mass flow. The predicted results are shown to be in good agreement with all measurements recorded. The performance of a complete engine simulation is also described and compared with actual dynamometer test results. The accuracy of this model is clearly demonstrated for all engine performance parameters.

Cllr Miss Tina Large, Cllr Roy Rix and Cllr Fred Salt.
J Nertney (LD); C Barnes (DNS).
Fairfield Centre for Young People (Mr Mott attended on behalf of the Applicant).
7/09 APPOINTMENT OF CHAIRMAN
RESOLVED that Councillor Rix be appointed Chairman for this meeting only.
8/09 DECLARATIONS OF INTEREST
9/09 FAIRFIELD CENTRE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE, 45 LIMBRICK AVENUE, FAIRFIELD, STOCKTON ON TEES - APPLICATION FOR VARIATION OF A PREMISE LICENCE UNDER THE LICENSING ACT 2003.
Preamble for item LSC 9/09
RESOLVED that the application be granted for a premises licence as detailed in the application form which can be summarised as follows:-
• Provision of regulated entertainment including plays, films, indoor sporting events, boxing or wrestling entertainment, live and recorded music, performance of dance and provision of facilities for dancing between the following hours:-
Monday to Sunday: 09:00 to 22:30 (with the premises been closed to the public 30 minutes after the end of the permitted hours)
The Committee noted that the steps set out in the Applicants operating schedule at Section P of the application will be converted into conditions to be placed on the licence where it is reasonably practicable for them to be converted into conditions.
10.00am - 12 noon
9/09 The Licensing Officer presented the report to the Committee. Consideration was given to the application as outlined in the report by the Licensing Officer. Members noted and gave consideration to the representations that had been received from responsible authorities, namely the Council's Environmental Health Section, and noted that this had been withdrawn following agreement of conditions with the Applicant. Representations had not been received from any other statutory consultees. Representations had been received from three persons living within the vicinity of the premises. It was noted that two of these persons were in attendance at the Committee meeting.
Mr Mott, Senior Youth Worker at the Centre, stated that the Centre had been there for 20 years. Mr Mott stated that they were not proposing to do anything different to their current activities and they provided a copy of their current timetable. A lot of the activities which they provided at the Centre were not licensable under the legislation. Mr Mott stated that the application had been made for such long hours so that this allowed flexibility in the organisation of the events which they provided. Mr Mott stated that the Centre had no intention of increasing activity at the centre or causing disturbance to their neighbours.
Mr Mott stated that they did not hire the Centre out for birthday parties and had no intention of doing so.
The residents were welcome to raise any complaints they may had with the Management of the Centre so that their concerns and/or complaints could be addressed. The Centre took residents concerns seriously and wanted to be good neighbours.
The persons in attendance who had made a relevant representation were given the opportunity to ask questions of Mr Mott.
It was noted that the Applicant had indicated agreement to the following conditions been placed on the licence, namely:-
1. All external doors and windows shall be kept closed when regulated entertainment is being provided except in the event of an emergency. Any music played within the premises shall not cause a disturbance at the nearest residential premises. Any music shall be played indoors only.
2. The licence holder or his representative shall conduct periodic assessments of the noise coming from the premises when used for regulated entertainment and shall take steps to reduce the level of noise where it is likely to cause a disturbance to local residents. A written record shall be made of those assessments and shall include, the time and date of the checks, the person making them and the results including any remedial action. All records shall be retained for one year.
3. Use appropriate management controls to reduce the likelihood of customers causing noise disturbance to local residents when vacating the premises. This should include placing at all exits throughout the premises, in a place where they can be seen and easily read by the public, notices requiring customers to leave the premises and the area quietly (Note, this may also include a reference to vehicles).
4. All hirers of the premises shall be made fully aware of the terms and conditions of the licence.
Submission from Interested Parties (persons within the vicinity of the premise)
Mr Stephenson and Mr Farthing were given the opportunity to address the Committee. Mr Stephenson read his objection to the Committee, a copy of which was included in the Committee papers. Mr Farthing confirmed that he agreed with everything that Mr Stephenson had said. The objectors were concerned that the activities at the Centre could attract more young persons and that their peace and quiet would be effected.
It was noted that the conditions as agreed by the Applicant with the Environmental Health Officer would address the concerns of public nuisance held by residents in their representations.
The Committee noted that two of the persons who had made a representation were in attendance at the Committee meeting and they noted their concerns but felt that the conditions attached to the licence addressed these. It was also noted that taking into consideration relevant case law, including the decision in the Daniel Thwaites case, the Committee needed hard evidence on which to base their decision. It was noted that the Police had made no objection and there were no statistics or other evidence showing crime and disorder connected with the premise.
When considering their decision the Committee had regard to the Statutory guidance issued under Section 182 of the Licensing Act 2003 and the Councils Licensing Policy. The main concern of residents was over the potential for disorder and public nuisance. The Committee were of the view that the conditions as suggested by the Environmental Health Officer and agreed by the Applicant would address these concerns.

Coast Guard Seeks Uniformity in Passenger Screening at Cruise Ship Terminals, Discusses Use of Explosives Detection Dogs
The Coast Guard is proposing to amend its regulations on cruise ship terminal security. Transferred to the Department of Homeland Security in 2003, the Coast Guard wants to "standardize security of cruise ship terminals and eliminate redundancies in the regulations that govern the security of cruise ship terminals." It would have been helpful if the problematic "redundancies" had been further explained.
Some of the proposals concern the use of dogs for screening passengers and luggage, something that the Coast Guard acknowledges is not being done uniformly at cruise terminals. The preamble to the proposed rules states that "most terminals use metal detectors and x-ray systems. Some terminals use canines and other terminals, normally ports of call, screen by hand." Screening by hand involves manually searching baggage and personal effects.
National Maritime Security Advisory Committee
In proposing new regulations, the Coast Guard relied heavily on advice from the National Maritime Security Advisory Committee (NMSAC), a committee "composed of representatives from a cross-section of maritime industries and port and waterway stakeholders including, but not limited to, shippers, carriers, port authorities, and facility operators." This committee makes recommendations to the Secretary of Homeland Security through the Commandant of the Coast Guard on matters affecting maritime security. The current Commandant is Admiral Paul F. Zukunft.
Use of Canines for Screening
NMSAC does not feel that dogs should necessarily be used at all terminals because "each terminal operation, passenger ship, threat information, and security operation is different, a 'one size fits all' regulation to meet the 'when' and 'how' of canine use will not work." Before a decision on the use of dogs is appropriate for a specific terminal, NMSAC believes three issues must be addressed:
When should canines be utilized for screening?
How should canines be used for screening?
What should be the training and certification requirements for the canine and the handler?
The Coast Guard states that it does "not propose mandating the use of canines for normal screening operations." Nevertheless, if terminals or cruise ships voluntarily use dogs to screen for explosives, the Coast Guard sees a need to establish standards, and states that it "is engaged in separate, ongoing projects to address the use of canines at maritime facilities, including cruise ship and other passenger facilities."
The preamble to the proposal states that "cruise ship industry canine security representatives have been meeting with USCG and DHS officials to discuss appropriate regulatory requirements for the certification of both dog and handlers." NMSAC acknowledges its lack of expertise in this area and "therefore declines to offer recommendations in this regard." It appears that this committee could use a member or two with expertise in bomb dog deployment.
The only references to canines in the proposed regulations (as opposed to the preamble) occurs in the definition of Explosives Detection System (EDS), which "means any system, including canines, automated device, or combination of devices that have the ability to detect explosive material."
Prohibited Items List
The Coast Guard wants to create a Prohibited Items List to be used in screening persons, baggage, and personal effects at a terminal. A list of dangerous substances is also being created. TSA has issued such lists for airline travel, but the preamble notes that there are necessarily differences between cruise ships and airplanes:
"Whereas airline screening can be conducted with the understanding that airline travel is undertaken for only a relatively short period of time and with a focused mission, cruise travel can be for much longer periods of time and with travelers participating in varying activities. Additionally, there is no distinction in cruise travel between checked baggage or carry-on items, since passengers and crew will have access to their personal items once they are onboard."
The proposed Prohibited Items List for cruise ship terminals is as follows:
Weapons, Including
Hand Guns (including BB guns, pellet guns, compressed air guns and starter pistols, as well as ammunition and gunpowder)
Rifles/shotguns (including BB guns, pellet guns, compressed air guns and starter pistols, as well as ammunition and gunpowder)
Stun guns or other shocking devices (e.g. TaserR, cattle prod)
Realistic replicas and/or parts of guns and firearms
Explosives, Including
Blasting caps
Fireworks or pyrotechnics
Flares in any form
Hand grenades
Plastic explosives
Explosive devices
Realistic replicas of explosives
Incendiaries, Including
Aerosols (including spray paint but excluding items for personal care or toiletries in limited quantities)
Gasoline or other such fuels or accelerants
Lighter fluids (except in liquefied gas (e.g. BicR-type) or absorbed liquid (e.g. ZippoR-type) lighters in quantities appropriate for personal use)
Turpentine
Paint thinner
Realistic replicas of incendiaries
Disabling Chemicals and Other Dangerous Items, Including
Tear gas and other self-defense sprays
Such items can be confiscated and destroyed. It is perhaps worth noting that, although this list might be an occasional inconvenience to passengers who like to keep a supply of turpentine with them at all times, it is not likely to stop sophisticated terrorists from finding ways to get explosives aboard. An easy example is triacetone triperoxide (TATP), used by the "shoe bomber," an explosive that can be manufactured from commercially available products (e.g., nail polish remover and peroxide). A passenger can easily justify such items as needed for pretty fingernails and white teeth, but a group of ten people could bring enough of these items aboard without suspicion and thereafter assemble a bomb. Dogs could, of course, be taught to alert to such items, at least identifying passengers who could be interviewed more thoroughly, but it is not clear that anything like this is planned.
Opportunity to Comment
We have spoken before about the turf wars between federal agencies on how to train explosives detection dogs. Most agencies have made decisions on how and when to use such dogs without seeking any comment from the public, and perhaps without seeking any comment from other agencies engaged in the same activities. The Coast Guard is to be commended for trying to get as much input in this area as possible, and entities, both public and private, engaged in the training of explosives detection dogs should consider sharing the benefit of their experience.
Comments on the proposed rules may most easily be submitted at the regulations.gov website (keywords: consolidated cruise ship security). At the moment, the Coast Guard does not plan to hold a public meeting on the proposal. Comments are to be submitted by March 10, 2015.
TSA Layers of Aviation Security (GAO-11-938T, September 2011)
This notice demonstrates that cruise ship security precautions are in a much more formative stage than airline security precautions, with fewer requirements and less specificity regarding the use of dogs than has been the case with the Transportation Security Administration. There appears to be little evidence of the kind of layered approach that the TSA has developed towards screening, as visually depicted here in a graphic taken from a 2011 GAO report on aviation security. (Does the Coast Guard see this approach as a "redundancy"?)
Although ships can carry more people than planes, for much longer periods of time, with multiple points of embarkation in many locations, the cruise industry has been far less of a target for terrorists than the airline industry. Perhaps Al Qaeda did not want to follow in the path of the Palestine Liberation Front in the 1987 hijacking of the Achille Lauro, and aside from some recent controversy about an opera, that incident may be to many security specialists only a distant memory.
Given that this release is being issued by both the Coast Guard and the Department of Homeland Security, it appears that DHS is not requiring that the Coast Guard follow the lead of TSA, but is allowing it to engage in "separate, ongoing projects to address the use of canines at maritime facilities, including cruise ship and other passenger facilities." This may not indicate any no-confidence position as to the TSA, but may mean instead that DHS sees cruise environments as sufficiently different from airport and airplane environments that the Coast Guard will be allowed to develop its own approaches to canine training, handling, and deployment. It could also mean that DHS is willing to accept input from other federal agencies and non-governmental organizations. A public meeting on the proposal would likely reveal more, but at the moment none is anticipated. It is to be hoped that the Coast Guard is not planning to become yet another fiefdom in the federal bomb dog turf wars.

Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey was released in American theaters 50 years ago this week, blowing the minds of a generation primed for its heady themes and psychedelic visuals and changing sci-fi filmmaking forever. The best way to see this seminal masterwork has always been on the big screen in cosmic 70mm—we've seen it at the Music Box Theatre here in Chicago, and it's incredible—and now cinephiles across the U.S. will have the chance to experience it in 70mm as well.
Last week, Warner Bros announced that it has struck a new, "unrestored" 70mm print of 2001: A Space Odyssey from the original camera negative: "This is a true photochemical film recreation. There are no digital tricks, remastered effects, or revisionist edits," the studio writes in a press release. The print will make its debut at this year's Cannes Film Festival, where it will be introduced by director Christopher Nolan, a stalwart champion of 70mm who released Dunkirk in the format last summer.
That screening is set to take place on May 12 in France, with 2001: A Space Odyssey debuting in select U.S. theaters on May 18. The Music Box, which owns its own 70mm print of the film, will be playing it for 11 days straight. A home video release is also being planned for later this year. Check your local arthouse theater listings (or whichever theater in your area got a refurbished projector from Warner Bros. for The Hateful Eight's 70mm roadshow) for more.


Students, parents, staff, and community members all submitted ideas for the school's new name.
About 95 percent of the Fendall Avenue school's student body is African-American. Many of the new school name options represent influential African-American Civil Rights leaders including Barbara Johns, Oliver Hill, and Henry Marsh.
Barack Obama became the country's first African-American president after he was elected in 2008.


This has nothing to do with human adoption, sorry! I'm going to gush on about the doggies hubby and I are going to be adopting next year. Here's a few pictures of the breed to whet your appetite.
This is a Goldendoodle pup. They are a cross between Golden Retrievers and Poodles.
I really like the coloring in this one – it seems to be a cross between an apricot and a red.
Hubby and I plan to bring two male Doods into our family next spring. Even though we're looking for a rental house right now while we become familiar with our new area, we don't want to bring home the boys until we have a house (of our own) with several acres for them to romp on. I'd prefer at least 4 acres, lots of room for them to run and play.
I love poodles and I love retrievers – a Doodle is the perfect mix for us. Typically, I'm big on rescues – like our cats were both rescue cats. Every dog I had growing up was a rescue as well except one – and we only got him because he was the runt in an AKC line that no one really wanted. We did, though, and I loved him dearly.
So for once, I'm going to go the totally selfish route. The Doods will probably cost around $3,000 for the pair and I'll gladly pay it. The funny thing is, I don't even feel remotely guilty about buying from a breeder. It's funny because I've always been vocally AGAINST most breeders. Fortunately, I've been able to spend a lot of time learning about reputable Doodle breeders. Because they are a relatively new breed, it seems breeders and such are very well documented.
Doods are extremely social dogs. They thrive in an environment where they are "part of the family." They are generally easily trained and obedient yet playful. They don't take well to being left alone for extended period of time.
During the years we were driving all over the country for hubby's job, our cats went with us. We have a wonderful soft-sided dog crate in which we'd place their beds, litter box and food/water. We'd put it in the back of our van or blazer and they'd curl up in their beds and happily snooze the miles away. Even though we won't be traveling for his work anymore, we still enjoy traveling for vacations. We have an "if we can't drive, we don't go" attitude for the most part. Keep in mind, given enough vacation time, we would drive to Alaska without a second thought! LOL It's not that we're not interested in international travel. We will do some on a limited basis. And in those circumstances, we have family/friends who would house & pet sit. But our pets are family, we like taking them with us. That's not going to change once we get the Doods. They'll learn from puppyhood to be good passengers.
One of the breeders I'm looking at is in Ohio. They're a few hours from us which is great – we'll be able to drive down and "meet" the sire and dam and "meet" the litter before they're ready to come home. I'm looking forward to that. I've actually sent a letter to the breeder asking for more info because I want to be totally educated about the breed before we bring them home. I'm hoping the breeder will be open to us making a visit this summer to meet the sires and dams and spend a little time with their newest litters.
I find it strange that you can actually SHIP a puppy? This boggles my mind. Even if we went with a breeder across the country, there's no way I'd let my Doodbabies be shipped on an airplane! I'd happily drive out to pick them up and drive them home. At least this way, they become acclimated to being in a car from early on.
Hubby and I are already talking names. Here's a few candidates. Feel free to make suggestions!!! Remember, we'll be bringing home two brothers. And they'll lean towards the apricot, red, cream colorings.
Londo & G'kar (Lonnie and Jack) – from one of our favorite shows, B5.
Banichi & Jago (Bean and Yaggie) – from one of our favorite book series, even though in the book, Jago is female.
Xavier & Zander (Zave & Zand) – just two names we like.
How cute! I love dogs!
I never thought I would buy from a breeder either but after a year of futile searches at our local pound I decided otherwise. We wanted a small dog and those cuties go fast at the pound!
We live in puppy mill country so I had to search and search for a reputable breeder until we finally found our Charlie (Bichon Frise) and all is right with the world.
If you have time maybe you could teach me how to add photos to my blog? I would love to share a photo of our ding dong doggie who is entirely convinced his name is KING Char! Spoiled ball of fluff that he is.
Our very loved nut ball seems to have some serious issues with clean. He furiously barks and chases the vacuum, the broom, the mop and even ME when I dust!
my vote is for jago and banichi . . . i am a big fan of C. J. Cherryh too.
WHAT!!?? Not getting Pugs??? They look like big cuddly teddy bear lambs but I still think pugs are worth considering…..
Good to "meet" another CJ fan. A friend turned me on to her and she's now one of my favorites. I'm anxiously waiting the latest Atevi book!!! Pretenders, I think.
Mia, anytime – give me a jingle this weekend.
btw, i have been reading your blog for a while now. as a birthmom, it is insightful for me to read the thoughts and feelings of other viewpoints along the "adoption plane". thank you for sharing yourself with others.
I haven't read Octavia Butler's books, but I'll pick them up this weekend. Thanks for the tip!
I LOVE Orson Scott Card! I've read everything he's written. I typically get obsessed with an author and buy all their books and read them in a marathon. LOL I went through the entire Enders Game series in 4 days and then polished off his Oversoul books in like 3 more days. He also has several great stand-alone books. One of my favorites was the alternative Christopher Columbus history. Great!
Heinlein is my all-time favorite author. I've read and reread his books at least 5 times.
You'll appreciate my laughter when I learned I was "Baby Girl Long," and I'm sure you'll grok how much I hope to find a Lazarus in my birth father's family!! In my next life, I want to be born on Tertius.
Do you blog? Would you be willing to share a link so I can add you to the list?
"baby girl long", yes, i can see the humor in that. good luck with finding your lazarus.
i tend to be obsessive compulsive when reading, but i balance it out with periods of sewing/crafting.(which i am also obsessive compulsive about. right now i am in sewing mode.
I am going to need back surgery and I have a 4 1/2year old white standard poodle and I must find him a home. He is the best boy I have ever had and my heart is breaking that I have to find him a home but I cannot take care of him anymore. Standard poodles are not good at being home alone for long periods of time they think they are human and they need human contact – my boy is also very friendly with dogs – he thinks everybody wants to play with him. He is so lovelable and needs lots of love and attention but he would be your best friend in the world.
If you know anyone that might be interested in adopting a very healthy and lively gorgeous white standard poodle – please respond.
Be SURE to view BOTH parents of your new puppy. Very important. I have 2 poodles. You'll love this baby, I am sure.
Also, try "Parable of the Sower" by Octavia Butler and "Survivor". Her sci-fi stuff is amazing and I normally do not like sci-fi.
Card also wrote some GREAT biblical fiction, "Sarah" and "Rebekah". Have you read those?
I am searching for a goldendoodle to rescue. I think they have created the perfect dog. I have had the priveledge of owning both breeds in my life. I can't think of a better dog.
These are very attractive dogs with great coats needing little maintenance and better for people with allergies.
LOVE Doodles! You say you are in contact with a breeder is Ohio – we just decided to get a boy Mini Goldendoodle (G. Retriever mom, miniature poodle dad) from Griffith Kennels in Ohio. We drove in from Chicago to meet her and the dogs, and she's a responsible breeder, the parent dogs have wonderful temperments, and she's happy to have visitors.
Good luck getting your Doods!
I am a very happy and proud owner of a 7 month old goldendoodle. His name is Gunther and what a treat he is. His dad was a big red poodle and mom a lovely golden retriever. He is cream, red and apricot all at once. I got him from a breeder in Georgetown, Ontario. This is the smartest animal I have ever had the pleasure to spend time with. I feel very lucky to have found him. Also, their personality is just as 'cute' as they look. He actually tries to tease me and play 'tricks' on me and then shows genuine enjoyment at his attempt. What a sweetheart!

Amplio's Talking Book audio device and services help our global partners share skills and knowledge in communities where literacy and electricity are as scarce as money.
Amplio's technology, services, and affiliates help our global partners share new skills and knowledge in communities where literacy and electricity are as scarce as money.
Around the world, global development organizations, governments, and NGOs are working to end poverty and achieve the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals. However, they often face barriers to reaching the most vulnerable and underserved populations: people with low literacy skills who live in poor, rural communities where there's no electricity or Internet.
Amplio helps our global partners amplify and widen their reach to address critical human needs. Our simple technology solution is built around the Talking Book — a rugged, easy-to-use audio device designed for people who cannot read and who live without electricity in rural and remote areas. Depending on each partner's needs, we provide a range of services, from technology training and support, to support for content creation and performance analytics to promote social and behavior change.
Use Talking Books to reach people with low literacy skills who live in poor, rural, off-grid communities, including women and girls. Provide access to knowledge that empowers people to improve their health, income, and quality of life.
Provide a library of engaging, culturally relevant, educational audio content in local languages and dialects. Deliver songs, dramas, interviews, and endorsements that individuals, families, and groups can select and play on demand.
Use performance analytics to monitor and evaluate Talking Book content and program performance. Leverage user feedback to gain a deeper understanding of the issues communities face and continually update content to address specific needs.
Amplio partners with the most respected organizations in global development to bring about transformative change. Together, we engage communities in learning and inspire knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors that promote positive change. Since 2007, Talking Book programs have reached more than 600,000 people in Ghana, Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda with life-changing messages and lessons about maternal and child health, agriculture and food security, gender equality, financial literacy, and more.
UNICEF's randomized, controlled trials showed that Ghanian mothers who listened to Talking Book messages were 50% more likely to sleep under mosquito bed nets than the control group.
In Northern Ghana, farmers who use the Talking Book have increased their total crop production by an average of 48%, leading to greater income opportunities.
In Kenya, community health volunteers use Talking Books to deliver consistent, quality information, leading to 48% more deliveries at health centers and a 100% increase in prenatal checkups.
