Impact of Feeding Foods Containing Industrial Hemp-Derived Cannabidiol on Canine Health and Well-Being
Elizabeth M. Morris, University of KentuckyFollow
Agriculture, Food and Environment
Dr. David L. Harmon
Anecdotal evidence of beneficial behavioral and health effects of cannabidiol (CBD) use in companion animals has amplified the need to elucidate safety and potential impacts of CBD use. The purpose of this investigation was to determine the impact of industrial hemp-derived CBD administration on canine health and well-being. We hypothesized that CBD would produce beneficial effects on canine behavior without negatively impacting animal health. Dog treats were formulated to include CBD and shown to be palatable across a range of CBD inclusion levels. Dogs were supplemented with CBD treats and subjected to a noise-induced fear response test to assess potential anxiolytic effect of CBD. Behavioral response to the noise-induced fear response test was unaffected by CBD and did not support an anxiolytic effect of CBD when supplemented at 1.4 mg/kg BW/d. Next, triaxial accelerometers were fitted to dogs' collars to assess the impact of CBD treats on voluntary daily activity. While voluntary daily activity of healthy adult dogs was unaffected by 1.8 and 4.5 mg CBD/kg BW/d, a reduction in daily scratching suggested a potential antipruritic effect of CBD. Potential impacts on canine health were also assessed by evaluating changes in the canine metabolome, hematology, and serum chemistry, and immune response upon exposure to a novel antigen. The canine metabolome, including amine/phenol, carbonyl, carboxyl, and hydroxyl metabolites, was altered with 4.5 mg CBD/kg BW/d and suggested an impact on glucose, amino acid, vitamin, and nucleotide metabolism. Hematological and clinical indices of health and serum immunoglobulins (IgG and IgM) were largely unaffected by 5 mg CBD/kg BW/d; however, elevated liver enzyme alkaline phosphatase may suggest altered liver function. These findings may be used to formulate recommendations for CBD use in a clinical environment, spur investigation into other potential therapeutic effects of CBD, and may serve as a foundation for the development of regulations on CBD use, all of which are essential to supporting the health and well-being of companion animals.

Occult Forces - Illuminati Movie truth that killed the director
Aleksandar Mishkov/ published 4 years ago
The movie was released in 1943, and the director Jean Mamy was killed (executed for collaborating with the enemy) just 6 years later
The French movie "Occult Forces", or "Forces occultes" in original is one of the most controversial movies of all times. Few movies, and few directors are bold enough to tell a truth a about a secret society that many believe rules the world. Nowadays, the words Illuminati, Freemasonry, New World Order are associated with the most powerful people in the world, and many famous people and celebrities are part of it. Some even believe that US President Barack Obama is part of the society and is the Antichrist himself. The movie was released in 1943, and the director Jean Mamy was killed (executed for collaborating with the enemy) just 6 years later. The producer Robert Muzard and the screenwriter Jean Marquès-Rivière was condemned to prison time, but Muzard was killed in suspicious manner just few years later. Riviere died in 2000.
What made the movie special?
On first glance, the movie had a very similar plot to nowadays Hollywood movies exploring the truth of freemasonry and Illuminati. The plot is simple, a young depute joins the order of the Freemasons in hope to relaunch his career. While in the order, he learns how the Freemasons are conspiring with Anglo-American nations and the Jews to encourage France into a war with Germany.
Bear in mind, the movie was released during the World War II, meaning that the movie was trying to find the reason behind one of the most gruesome and catastrophic wars for mankind.
Where the movie gets interesting, and that what makes it unique and special is that it is actually a breath of fresh air, since it is based on truth. The director, Jean Mamy, was actually part of the freemasonry for 8 years, but left the order.
Even after so many years, there have never been other movies linked with the Illuminati and the Freemasons that are as close to the truth and as genuine. It might all be a conspiracy theory, but it is refreshing to watch a movie based on truth, unlike all the lies that come out from the Jewish Hollywood in recent years.
Mamy and the producer were part of the National Socialists during the World War II, and they tried to expose the subversive secret society for what it really is. That movie and their bold move got them killed, but at least their legacy lives on, even though the movie has only close to 100,000 views on YouTube.
The Background of the Story
Mamy and screenwriter Jean Marquès-Rivière were both journalists and they were constantly exploring the stories and searching for the truth behind the secret order of Illuminati and Freemasons. Mamy, himself was part of the Freemasons Order (venerable of the Renan Lodge of the Grand Orient de France). He was part of the order from 1931 and until 1939. He was also part of the inter-war left win in France and sometimes wrote under his pseudonym Paul Riche for left-wing newspapers in the country. During his time with the Order, Mamy learned a lot about the Freemasons, and he used the information to put a genuine and authentic story in the movie.
In the movie, you can even see how some of the freemasons admit they are part of the Illuminati order and that they love and worship Lucifer. For Mamy and Muzard, "Occult Forces" was the last movie they directed and produced.
Illuminati – Freemason Connection
The movie also explores the connection between freemasonry and Illuminati. What many people do not understand is that not all Freemasons are Illuminati. Both are different societies, and while they have the same goal in mind, "world domination", and both are religious, there are differences.
We are not going deep into the differences here, since that requires a whole new and bigger article, but what is important to note that lower ranked freemasons are never part of the illuminati. Lower ranked freemasons usually know nothing of the practices and the rituals that happen in the middle of the night in the temples of the Illuminati. However, a top ranked Freemason is always also a top ranked Illuminati.
Famous Illuminati Members
Since forever, Illuminati and Freemasons members have been part of the highest society circles. They are wealthy, since they use their money for power and domination, but in latest years, the group has taken also a new approach, popularity. The Order of the Illuminati knows that celebrities nowadays can influence the public's opinion, and that is what the Illuminati seek for.
Some of the famous people being part of the Illuminati include Whitney Houston, Eminem, Adam Lambert, Celine Dion, Lady Gaga, Madonna, Barack Obama, Lebron James, Emma Watson, Nicki Minaj and others.
Whitney Houston is an interesting story, as many believe that even though she was part of the Illuminati, she was also killed by the Order, and because of Nicki Minaj nevertheless. Eminem often uses Illuminati symbolism in his music videos. Some of the people on the list are constantly showing Illuminati symbols and gestures when they perform. And Barack Obama is considered by some conspiracy theories to be the Antichrist.

Review: HTC One M9
Smartphones & Accessories Ted Kritsonis - April 21, 2015
What has been the most attractive Android smartphone for the last two years is back, and the HTC One M9 sticks to the same design principles of its predecessors. The familiarity extends throughout the hardware and software, making this phone an iterative update from last year, rather than a major upgrade. There's more speed, along with some refinements to HTC's software overlay and the camera, but there's no sign of an overhaul here.
Boost productivity by updating your home office
Smart home Ted Kritsonis - April 9, 2015
Working from home can be both liberating and lonely, no matter how much you do it. Productivity is always a factor when it comes to getting work done, and working the way you should. Take a good look around your home office and you're likely to think of a few things that can make it better.
Review: Samsung Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge
Cell Phones Ted Kritsonis - April 9, 2015
For the first time, Samsung has split its flagship Galaxy S line into two distinct models. There is the regular flat version following in the footsteps of its predecessors, and the Edge, which curves on both sides for unique functionality. Under the hood, there is little that sets these two apart, so your choice is going to be mostly about which look you prefer.

Depending on where you live, you can gain access to some of the most popular network channels in both Canada and the United States. With the right gear, you can also watch those channels throughout your home.

Writing with a Vengeance
Writing with a Vengeance: The Countess de Chabrillan's Rise from Prostitution
by Carol A. Mossman
224 Pages, 6.18 x 9.32 x 0.82 in
Writing with a Vengeance examines the life and works of a nineteenth-century French courtesan, Céleste Vénard, later the Countess de Chabrillan. A notorious Paris courtesan, Chabrillan married into the nobility, taught herself to write (penning two series of memoirs) and, upon being widowed, wrote novels to support herself - ten, between 1857 and 1885. These novels and memoirs constitute exceptional literary and historical documents, particularly as very few sex workers before the twentieth century have left written records of their lives.
Writing with a Vengeance intertwines the courtesan's autobiographical account of the horrors of her life on the streets with that era's political, medical, and cultural discourses surrounding prostitution. Though French society both silenced and refused to pardon the prostitute, Carol Mossman's literary analysis of Chabrillan's novels contends that it is through the process of writing itself that she arrived at self-forgiveness and ultimately refashioned for her damaged self a new identity and narrative.
Carol Mossman is Professor of French and Director of the School of Languages, Literatures and Cultures at the University of Maryland, College Park.
'Fascinating study of the life and times of the Countess de Chabrillan… Mossman is to be applauded for writing an account of a woman who was not destroyed by the deviant aspects of her life. The Countess Chabrillan, rather than colluding with those forms of misogynist fiction that preferred to condemn the prostitute, was a testament to the ability of women to demonstrate their many possible realities.' Mary Evans, French Studies, vol 65:04:2011
'In this vibrantly written book, Mossman introduces readers to both a fascinating historical figure and an unexplored female author who offers an important vantage point through which to consider key questions in nineteenth-century French history and literature… In recounting Chabriillan's unfamiliar story, Mossman succeeds in introducing readers to a fascinating character whose life offers myriad windows into crucial axes of nineteenth-century culture.'
Rachel Mesch, H-France Review March 2011
'The biographical, historical, and literary contexts Mossman provides not only create a rich backdrop for her main subject of study, but they also serve as a broader introduction to the period, such that Writing with Vengeance is supremely accessible, suitable even for undergraduates or others with little prior familiarity with the period.' Briana Lewis, Nineteenth-Century French Studies, vol 41:1-2:2012-2013

NBK to pay sacked staff Sh11.2m in compensation
National Bank of Kenya Moi Avenue Branch in Nairobi. FILE PHOTO | NMG
The National Bank of Kenya (NBK) has been ordered by the Labour Court to pay three former employees Sh11.2 million compensation for wrongful termination after they were fired over their purported failure to respond to calls to avert the potential loss of Sh330 million six years ago.
Investigations at the lender had revealed that a member of staff at the bank's ICT Department had withdrawn the money from various government related accounts and credited the same to two accounts held by NBK.
On March 16 and 17, 2013 it was established that there was a systems breach at NBK where a fraudulent batch gateway of Sh330.02 million was processed in the BankFusion Universal Banking (BFUB) system but which was averted, the court papers say.
Justice Maureen Onyango awarded Jimmy Labi and Sylvester Mutuli Sh5.69 million and Sh4.7 million respectively as compensation for 12 months gross salary.
Another ex-staffer, Joseph Karumba, is set to receive Sh800,000 as compensation for 10 months gross salary.
Mr Mutuli had worked at NBK for over 11 years at Head Office ICT Division until June 2013 before he was transferred to the Credit Division. Mr Labi worked as the Manager ICT Department to the Business Continuity Centre and also redeployed to multiple departments before finally being laid off. Mr Karumba was a clerical staff at the head office ICT division by the time he was let go.
Mutuli and Labi were administrators of the Virtual Private Network (VPN) system and were blamed for the breach.
The bank averred that the duo failed to report to the management the shortcomings and the vulnerability of the VPN system as required and to hand over to the infrastructure unit at ICT systems that failed to record access logs.
The court however found that they were not given adequate opportunity to respond to any charges before action was taken against them.
"I find the termination of employment of the claimants unfair both substantively and procedurally. The three claimants are all entitled to compensation having concluded that they were unfairly terminated and considering they each worked for the respondent for quite a long time," read the judgement.
"The claimants cannot be reinstated as in my opinion they did not demonstrate exceptional circumstances to warrant reinstatement. Further, having been out of employment since 2013, the period of three years within which the court may order reinstatement has since long lapsed."

APPA Honors Manchin For Leadership On Energy Policy
Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., on March 2 received the American Public Power Association's Public Service Award at APPA's Legislative Rally in Washington, D.C.
Manchin was honored by APPA for exceptional leadership on numerous issues of importance to public power.
"I am honored to receive the American Public Power Association's Public Service Award," Manchin said. "I am also proud of the work we did together to get the Energy Act of 2020 across the finish line and then get much of it funded through the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. These historic pieces of legislation are two shining examples of the good we can achieve when we come together to do what is best for our country. I look forward to continuing to work closely with public utilities across the country to advance all-of-the-above energy solutions."
Manchin has served on the Energy and Natural Resources Committee since coming to the Senate in 2010 and became chairman of the committee in January 2021. Together with the then-Republican leader of the Senate Energy Committee, Manchin steered the Energy Act of 2020 into law.
The legislation included significant funding for research, development, and deployment programs at the U.S. Department of Energy for wind energy, solar energy, critical minerals, carbon capture and removal, and grid modernization.
He built on the work of the Energy Act of 2020 in his leadership role in developing the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) that was signed into law in November 2021.
The IIJA funded investments in the transmission and distribution systems that make up the electric grid, cybersecurity, and research and development of energy technology. (Click here for resources and opportunities for public power tied to the infrastructure law curated by APPA).
"Throughout his time on the committee, and even more so as chairman, Senator Manchin has shown exceptional leadership on numerous issues of importance to public power," said APPA President and CEO Joy Ditto in a statement. "Though there are only two public power utilities in West Virginia, Senator Manchin has long supported the important role public power plays in the electric sector nationwide and its commitment to serving its communities. He — like public power — has a bedrock commitment to ensuring reliable, affordable, and environmentally responsible energy to power the economy."


The retailer can charge what they want for products, they owe nothing to any one, it's just business to them, why sell a product for $24 when people will pay $45, I don't like it either but that's just the way business is.
On a side note, I just can't connect with the general feeling about these blends you guys across the pond feel are over priced, 8oz (well, 250g with our measurements) here in the UK costs us around $90. So to us this $45 area of pricing is dirt cheap, this notion of $24 for 8oz is pure fantasy for folk here, if only we could get tobacco for next to nothing.
We have two sayings over here that I think are very applicable here"
First off let me say this, "IT'S ALL PB's FAULT"!!!!!!
Second, I have little to no problem with a seller on E-Bay getting $200 from any idiot who is willing to pay it in an OPEN AUCTION! I do have a problem with retailers jacking up prices to line their pockets! P&C is currently robbing people on the Esoterica & Balkan Sobranie. I have always dealt with P&C because of Russ. However, I think what they are doing currently is outrageous! So, I bought my Balkan Sobranie from smokingpipes.com and paid less than 1/3 of what P&C was charging. I'll buy from who ever deals fair and square.
This reminds me of when Cheaper than Dirt was charging $99.99 for aluminum AR-15 mags! They jacked their prices up right after Sandy Hook when there was fear of another "Brady Bill" hitting the Nation. I WILL NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH THOSE ASSCLOWNS EVER AGAIN!!! I have a very LONG memory, and I DO hold grudges!!!!!
Don't know about you, but I order all my tobacco from US. Smokingpipes, 4noggins, the usual sites. It takes about 2 weeks to get here, but it's still 3 times cheaper than buying it locally. When the package is under a kilogram, comes directly otherwise goes to the customs. $10 bribe in the customs officer's pocket, and you're all set. Corruption can be quite useful sometimes.
If your tobaccos were being over priced you'd all be whining. It's funny when the shoe is on the other foot but, none of ya think about that. I couldn't give a hoot in hell about Esoterica tobaccos. Granted the great but, I have others I enjoy just as much.
that want's to bend you over on another product. I just don't get you guys.
If they find they can raise the price to stupid on one tobacco,what makes you think they won't do it to another and then more? I have ethics, so I don't do business with those who don't, it's that simple period.
Dover, they didn't do this stuff when Scott ran the show... This nonsense started when cigars international bought the joint out. There's a reason their 'mascot' is that nasty goomba smiling face with a 3 day growth and a wife beater. THEY started the nonsense with Opus X obscene pricing back then, is it really a shocker they are trying the same with pipe tobacco?
I had no idea they were owned by Cigars International.
There's one of the announcements. It was the beginning of the end.. And damn did it happen fast. That's where all the "buy three get one" and the "tobacco if the month" type bs came from too. Scott didn't do that nonsense either.. Prices were prices.. You'd get some discount t over three tons of the same blend, and a sample every now and then, but it WAS a straight up tobacco shop.
It's a shame, seems to be the way of the mom and pops nowadays. A few corporations own all of the major retailers... but hey, they give us cheap products, right?
I'm glad I'm not in the market for much anymore. I hardly ever walk into a store unless it's Tractor Supply.
ADDED: And I realize TR is a chain-store as well, but it's right down the road from me and is as much of a small town farm store as can be found nowadays.
Cart, WHO are you fussing at? Lol!
No one really and everyone that has the mind set that, if it doesn't effect me it don't matter.
Just my annual rant at the blind and self-centered.
ADDED: I'm on your side, Ron. I ain't buying anything from P&C until April! Or any other retailer... broke I am... until April.
I may or may not have ordered from them some years ago, but I don't think so... I've been boycotting them since 1999.
Excluding local B&M's scattered across the country.
Those 4 have got 99.9% of my business specifically for the reason you mentioned... Back then the first hosted the forum I was on and the other three seemed like good people... Since my interlude in smoking Rich @4noggins has been pretty upstanding with the folk here.. Him and Mike @mars would get my money now a days.
Mike Rutt at Mars Cigars is a swell guy, and I'll never get tired of telling people that.
JRCigars is cool, but they have sometimes random/limited stock of pipe tabacs.
My local Tinder Box just sent out a letter about price increases of their tobacco. Their prices hadn't raised in five years, though the cost has been creeping since then. I think prices went up 5% at most, but they're 30% pricier than online. Online places I can't go sit and smoke for hours, watch baseball, help myself to stuff in the back fridge, and do so with friends.
It all works out. Do business with who treats you right. The other stuff behind-the-scenes (mergers, new distributors, hurricanes supposedly wiping out the best crops) you can't do much about, sometimes.
I can name one retailer that isn't gouging or shafting his customers. That's Mike at Mars Cigars. I just bought an 8 oz bag of Stonehaven, Penzance, and Margate for $22.95 per bag. I ordered just as soon as I got his news letter that stated it was in stock. Some retailers still care about their customers and treat them honestly and fairly. He's got the best prices for McClelland Tobacco on the Web and he's lowering prices on several more brands. His flat shipping rate of $6.95 seems very fair too. You can believe that Mike is getting almost all of my tobacco business.
Copied and pasted invoice from Mike.
This email has been sent to inform you that your payment, #31897, has been updated. Keep this email for your personal records.
PB...you're pretty much like me...smokingpipes.com and Marscigars.com most often get my business...in fact, I just sent Mike an order for Esoterica Brighton, Ramsgate and Woodbridge all at $22.99 per 8 oz. bag.
4Nogs has always been great with me, but they totally blew it this week. They called the day the order was supposed to arrive at my place to "verify the address". Instead of having my sister bring it down here when she visits, I'm going to have to spring for international shipping that either will or will not get here thanks to customs.
I'd like to see a list of places you aren't boycotting these days, Peebs...I'm guessing it's a bit shorter than the list of the ones you are?
......and had I scrolled down a click or two more I'd have seen that's done and done.
I'm a whore.. most orders I make I will fill the baskets with the same products at 4noggins, smoking pipes, cupofjoes, mars, p&c. if they all are within $10 or so of each other I go with 4noggins. but, getting much over that I go with the best buy. the savings amounts to another tin.
I do similarly, and not just with tobacco, but with anything I'm in the market for.
Why should anyone sell X commodity for less than they can get for it? I don't get it. The Esoterica blends are underpriced.
To be fair, we don't know what the distributor is charging them for it.
Anyone expecting any tobacco product (let alone a brand with Esoterica's reputation, demand, and cult following) to be some sort of a loss-leader is fooling themselves.
I think the market will even itself out. If not now, eventually. For the moment, Esoterica and Balkan Sobranie are hot items people feel pressured to get. It will hit a ceiling and come back down. Maybe not in time for Christmas, though.
Some of you will remember the FVF balloon about five years ago. There was the same Ebay gouging going on. However, FVF is again available and reasonably priced. Nobody "did" anything.
I think that's the nature of free market. Prices will always reflect what the market will bear. Don't think it's worth it? Don't buy it. Pretty soon many will come to the same conclusion and the spike will come back down. The dissent is already happening. This thread proves that.
Great points, although I think I read that S Gawith increased FVF production (they 'did something'). I don't understand why Germain's doesn't do the same or charge more to the distributor. That's the real surprise, given the demand of these products.
You also have to think about monopolies. if P&C were the only place anyone could buy tobacco, they still could only charge as much as people are willing to pay. I bet a lot of us would quit pipe smoking if 1Q cost $1k/oz. But if they dropped prices, more people could afford to smoke, and the slimmer margins would be made up for by increased sales volume. Even with monopolies there is a point of equilibrium, and we're not even talking about a monopoly here.
I don't understand the differences between retailers lining their pockets and individuals lining their pockets via high prices, and I have a problem with neither. I think it's laughable to say they're robbing people. No one from P&C is forcing anyone to buy those products. Robbery involves taking something without someone's consent. Everyone who pays P&C or eBay prices is giving their consent, i.e. willfully handing over their money. If anyone is coming close to committing robbery, it's the government's sin taxes on tobacco, which we can't get around. Every shop is forced to charge those prices. If I'm not mistaken, this is why tobacco costs so much in Europe, and not here. But they're coming for us, too. Since 2009, RYO cig tobacco has been taxed at $24/lb, while pipe tobacco is $3 or something. There is stuff in the works to even out that disparity.
Why aren't people demanding that Rad Davis charge 'fair' prices' for his pipes. I mean, $800 for something just 'cause it has some over-hyped, flawless, smooth, straight grain?! That's price gouging! I can get a corn cob that smokes just fine for $3! Or what about Dunhil pipes vs. Peterson's? Why is one so much more expensive? Is it perhaps that people are paying for the name, the tradition, at least to some extent? The truth is, value is in the eye of the consumer, and to charge less than consumers are willing to pay is ridiculous, and leads to shortages.
They did drop the prices on PS Luxury Flakes at that point. I remember right after the website switch I got to the old website from a bookmark, and the prices on those blends were higher before, but are now in line with other PS blends. Some good things, some bad it seems. (Newminster prices were lower before).
Amen. I don't see why it's immoral to charge these prices for one blend of tobacco that's in high demand. Why don't people apply this to cars or houses or anything else, and demand the prices they want and accuse the seller of being a thief?
Here is the simple point: Everyone is out of stock of Penzance, Stonehaven, and probably every other Esoterica blend. That's because the demand is high (either because tobaccos are better or because of hype; it doesn't really matter). If P&C were really charging too much, they'd have shelves full of the stuff that they couldn't move, and the market would demand they lower their prices. But people want it, even at $130/ 8 oz bag (eBay). eBay and P&C actually serve a purpose. Those who can't be online constantly get a chance to try Esoteric tobaccos if they're willing to pay the premium for not sitting all day withing for the email to get their one shot at the limited stock. If not for those venues, the rich guys with little free time would be out of luck. But nobody cares about them. People just care about how the prices affect them, and not the fact that higher prices would give more people pause to consider whether to buy them, leaving them on the shelves longer, and giving the guys with less time and more money a chance to get in on the action.
It's actually really remarkable how standardized pipe tobacco prices are. Compare them to cigars. The average price of a tin of tobacco is pretty consistent ($6 to $15 or so), whereas you can buy cigars for $1/stick or $30+/stick. Do people on cigar fora complain about the prices of Davidoffs? I just want to know why Esoterica/Germain are charging so little.

Week 1

Git, GitHub, and the Command Line

August 23, 2015

      My first week at DBC is almost complete and I've learned a ton. For my own sake, and the sake of you, dear reader, I am going to walk through the basics of git and GitHub, as well as some git commands you'll need to use in the command line.

        Git is an incredibly handy open source version control system. Sooooooooo... what is that? Version control software allows you to save and record many versions of a project as you work on it, and access those different versions whenever you like. You have control of all of those versions. Get it? Version. Control. Version control!

        This is obviously very handy for any project where you might make a mistake or bad choice and want to go back, but it is especially handy for coding, where one rogue character can mess up an entire project. With git you can just go back to a working version and try again.

        Git helps you keep track of changes with commit messages and the git log. With each submitted change, or commit, a good programmer submits a commit message that explains exactly what was done. These commits and their messages are always accessible via the git log, which shows every commit since the initial one. Pretty nifty!

        Github is an awesome way to store, track, collaborate on, and change your code. There are many benefits to using GitHub. For one, your work and all of your commits now exist online, which will save you if your computer crashes. The interface is excellent, and accessing your commits is incredibly easy. The interface also allows you to see exactly what was changed when you submit changes by using a helpful red/- and green/+ comparison. But perhaps GitHub's greatest strength is that it allows you to work collaboratively with people around the world on your work and theirs. GitHub is a social networking site (like Facebook), and if you like, you can make your work public, allowing people to copy, change, and add to your work. All of this exists at GitHub.com. Check it out!

      Here is my nifty guide to making changes to git/GitHub projects. The command line commands will only work if you have git set up, and this will be super confusing to true beginners. Come back once you've played around in git and GitHub a little bit!

      Navigate to your repository in the command line using the cd command line

Create a branch: git co -b new-branch-name

Make changes

Check your git status: git status

Add your files and changes to be committed: git add . (or the specific file name)

Check your git status: git status

Commit your changes and add a message: git commit -m "message"

Check your git log: git log

Navigate back to the master branch: git co master

Pull the current master branch (in case a team member has made changes): git pull

Navigate back to your new branch: git co new-branch-name

Merge it with the master branch: git merge master

Push your changes up to GitHub: git push origin new-branch-name

Navigate to github.com

Click pull request

Confirm merge

Delete the old branch (this is good organizational practice): git branch -d new-branch-name

        Finally, to share some personal observations from the week:

          Git and GitHub rule.

Learning the command line was super intimidating. It looks so advanced and complicated! But it was fairly simple, actually. I was glad to have some html knowledge and breeze through those few parts, because it was nice to feel a little ahead in one thing while wading through tons of new material.

Oh man, I type like a baby. Or hey, I used to! Before DBC, I was typing with 2 fingers on each hand, and I was going pretty quickly, but I looked down at the keyboard a lot and topped out at about 45 wpm. So, I've been making a concerted effort to do the typing lessons and type like an adult human. I'm already typing faster and I never look down at the keyboard. It's great!

        Okay, that's it for me. See you next week!

Picture this: You're home alone with your little ones—just you, the kiddos, and a television—and you've got dinner to make and laundry to do. Sooner or later, you'll have to leave the room for a few minutes. In the streaming age, with Disney+ and Netflix and touchscreen tablets, is it safe to leave children alone with TV? Is there a way to achieve peace of mind while you're getting dinner started, or will they turn off "Trolls" and switch over to Tarantino's latest?

We took a look at the major streaming options and put together a handy guide to the kid-specific features each one offers. Some, like Disney+, Hulu, and Netflix, make it incredibly easy to get your kid streaming safely; other services require a little extra setup time, but may ultimately be perfect for your child's needs.

You'll find Baby Yoda in the Disney+ original series "The Mandalorian" (Photo: LUCASFILM)
Disney's direct-to-consumer platform offers an all-in-one library of animated Walt Disney classics, Pixar films, Marvel flicks, and all the Star Wars you can handle. It's generally family-friendly across the board; the service launched in November without a single R-rated movie in its system. The scariest, most violent movies you'll find in its library are probably "Avengers: Endgame" and "Revenge of the Sith."
Simply create a kids' profile for your child, and they'll be limited to safe content in categories like "Sing Your Heart Out" ("The Little Mermaid," "The Lion King," "Frozen"), "Magic and Fairly Tales" ("Pinocchio," "Sleeping Beauty," "Beauty and the Beast"), and "Amazing Animals" ("Brother Bear," "The Great Mouse Detective," "101 Dalmatians").
Disney+ costs either $6.99 per month or $69.99 a year, but you can also check it out with a free seven-day trial to see whether you're satisfied with it. U.S. residents can also sign up for a special bundled deal that gives users access to Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ for a single monthly fee of $12.99.

Prime Video's not the ideal choice for kid-friendly streaming, but if you're a Prime member already, you might be able to make it work with a little extra customization. It's got a whole "Kids & Family" section, as most big video platforms do, but if you plan on leaving your child alone with it, you'll need to set up parental controls and a PIN number.
You can then restrict playback of anything above a certain maturity rating, meaning you'll need to enter a PIN to watch, say, "The Man in the High Castle" or "Jack Ryan." Kids will probably find something to enjoy in Amazon's children's library; "Bubble Guppies," "Caillou," "Dora the Explorer," and "The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle" are a few of the highlights.
If you're interested in Prime, you can get the Prime Video streaming service as part of an Amazon Prime subscription for $12.99 a month or $119 per year. You can also opt to just get Prime Video as a standalone subscription for $8.99 a month; this includes a free 30-day trial period.

CBS All Access just announced a new lineup focusing on kids' content (Photo: CBS All Access)
CBS's over-the-top streaming platform is usually associated with adult programming like "Star Trek: Discovery" or Jordan Peele's "Twilight Zone" reboot, but the company recently announced that it would be adding a new library of Nickelodeon titles in January. Like Prime, All Access lets users define parental restrictions according to a program's rating; you'll need to set up a four-digit PIN number.
For now, kids can enjoy a pretty decent selection of content on CBS All Access: "The Adventures of Paddington Bear," "Bob the Builder," "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs," "Danger Mouse," "Inspector Gadget," and "Madeline."
After a one-week trial, the subscription will run you either $5.99 a month (with commercials) or $9.99 a month (with no commercials, plus downloads for offline viewing). You can also save 15% off the annual cost if you pay for all 12 months upfront.

Understandably, a lot of folks have HBO Now (or HBO Go)—soon to be replaced by HBO Max in 2020. It's probably not a great option for parents looking for a safe platform to occupy their kids, but it does have some children's programming, including, most notably, the iconic children's show "Sesame Street." New episodes of the beloved children's series hit HBO Now and HBO Go at roughly the same time they air: 9 a.m. Eastern time on Saturdays. The apps also include the eight most recent seasons of the show, along with select "classic episodes" from throughout the show's history.
Mobile devices and tablets have a "Kids' Lock" function that limit the app to content rated Y, Y7, G, or PG. On desktop PCs and other streaming devices, you can also configure your overall HBO profile with a PIN-protected "age gate" based on standard TV and movie ratings. You can subscribe to HBO Now as a standalone service for $14.99 a month.

Hulu's got an entire library specifically for kids, and, like Disney+, you can simply create a kids' profile for your child that limits them to that content. Right now, that includes movies like "Shrek" and TV series like "SpongeBob SquarePants," "How to Train Your Dragon: Homecoming," "Chuggington," "Curious George," "Doc McStuffins," "Unikitty," and more.
You can sign up for Hulu's ad-supported subscription plan at just $5.99 a month, which includes a free one-month trial. There's also an ad-free version of Hulu for $11.99 per month, though, for that money, you may find it more worthwhile to pay the extra dollar for the three-in-one Disney bundle with Disney+ and ESPN.

Netflix's "Ask the Storybots" includes guests like John Legend. (Photo: Netflix)
Much like Disney+ or Hulu, Netflix works fine if your child has a kids' profile and knows not to use an adult's profile. This is where it gets tricky—do you, as the parent, show them how to operate the profile-selection part of the interface? Or does that undermine this seemingly simple system? Fortunately, Netflix also offers customizable parental controls that let you lock mature content behind a four-digit PIN; you can do this for either specific ratings or even certain shows or movies.
Netflix has a pretty great mix of exclusive original content and familiar favorites: "The Cat in the Hat," "The Grinch," "Green Eggs and Ham," "The Christmas Chronicles," "Dragons: Race to the Edge," "Gnome Alone," and the amusing and informative "Ask the Storybots."
If you're thinking of signing up for Netflix, you can get a free 30-day trial period with any one of three subscription packages: the $8.99-a-month deal without high-definition streaming, the standard $12.99 HD (1080p) service, or the ultra-high-definition (4K) Netflix Premium, which costs $15.99 per month.

PBS Kids has a library of classic PBS content like "The Daniel Tiger Movie: Won't You Be My Neighbor" (Photo: Fred Rogers Productions)
The PBS Kids app is the best price on this list: Totally free. Made entirely with child-safe viewing and simplicity in mind, your kiddo can watch thousands of video clips and full-length episodes from their favorite PBS series. There's also a live-TV button, which lets you stream live from your local PBS station. The app includes shows like "Arthur," "Caillou," "The Cat in the Hat," "Clifford the Big Red Dog," "Curious George," "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood," "Dinosaur Train," and Mister Rogers cartoon spinoff "Daniel Tiger."
You can stream PBS Kids from your desktop browser or download and enjoy the app on Amazon Kindle devices, Apple and Android phones and tablets, Windows, and more. New episodes of current all-ages series get added to the library every Friday. While you should be able to stream live TV without a login, you might need to create a free PBS account to access the on-demand content in the PBS Kids app.

The YouTube Kids app (Photo: screenshot)
There's a lot of great footage for kids on YouTube, but you have to be very careful; you do not want to give your child free rein on the standard YouTube app or browser. YouTube has notoriously had issues with weird, bizarre, or flat-out scary automated videos creeping into its kids content. They're actively working to make their app safe for families, but be aware. This summer YouTube Kids launched a separate website for kid-friendly content in hopes of combating the inappropriate videos. And there's also its own free dedicated app, which lets you customize your child's experience with "parent-approved" collections, set the content level for a specific age range, set time limits, and block specific videos or channels. While these approaches are a good step, Reviewed's parenting editor Anna Lane suggests avoiding YouTube for younger kids, and limiting it to children who are 10 or older.

If you are comfortable with your child viewing YouTube, you may want to look into YouTube premium. If you're a YouTube Premium subscriber ($11.99 a month following a free three-month trial), your kiddo can watch ad-free, and even download favorite videos for offline viewing when Wi-Fi isn't available. Some of the good points of YouTube Kids include dedicated categories for things like arts and crafts, toy collecting and play, education and hobbies, and, of course, child-friendly shows and cartoons.

President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki, is now presiding over Tuesday's plenary at the senate while a combined team of armed policemen and operatives of the Department of State Security lay siege at his home.
Sources say Saraki had been on the National Assembly Complex premises long before the plenary began.
The senate president in a statement yesterday alleged that his invitation by the Inspector-general of Police over the Offa bank robbery was politically motivated.
This also comes amid speculation that senators of the All Progressives Congress had planned to unseat Saraki during today's plenary.


I feel like a lot has happened lately but also that a lot hasn't, does that even make sense?
As you know I added a new member to the family who just so happens to be named Aurora. She's a fluffy bunny whom is the most energetic animal I think I've ever owned in my lifetime. You can read all about Aurora right here! I got Aurora a week after my dog passed away which is strange as this is the first time in 21 years I've never had a dog before but I'm sure we'll get another in the future.
On Tuesday I had to go to the Dentist which is my absolute worst fear. Seriously I would probably rather sit in the same room as a spider. I had to get a tooth pulled as I was in agony with it and yeah it was scary how never I'm no longer in pain which is great as personally I don't think there's any pain worse than a toothache especially one that won't go away with no amount of painkillers. I also went back down a few days ago to get my teeth cleaned and oddly enough I wasn't as nervous but I still felt ill! I think it was once I knew all my other teeth were fine I just calmed down a little more.

'Horrible, tragic accident': 2 arrested after toddler shoots, critically injures 2-year-old sister
LAKELAND, Fla. - A two-year-old girl is fighting for her life after deputies say she was shot by her three-year-old brother in Lakeland just before midnight on Friday.
According to the Polk County Sheriff's Office, three men were at Chad Berrien's home watching a basketball game when they heard a pop. That's when the men saw that the two-year-old had been shot and her brother ran crying from the living room.
The men grabbed both children, got in a car and headed to the hospital, but on the way, deputies said they crashed into another vehicle that turned into their path.
A good Samaritan took the two-year-old girl and Berrien to the hospital. Several other people involved in the crash were taken to the hospital by EMS.
While investigating the crash, Lakeland police learned about the shooting and contacted the Polk County Sheriff's Office because it occurred in unincorporated Lakeland.
2 arrested after tragic shooting

Deputies began investigating around 4:30 a.m. and, using a search warrant, discovered marijuana inside the home.

Deputies say Kevonte' Wilson told them he brought the gun inside the home and stored it between the couch cushions to keep it away from the children.
Wilson was arrested for failure to safely store a firearm, carrying a concealed firearm, possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.
However, Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said he will likely face more charges because legislation dictates that if a child is shot by a family member, no arrest can be made prior to seven days before the shooting. Wilson's prior criminal history includes charges of grand theft, written threats to kill, defrauding an innkeeper, and driving with no valid license.
Berrien, who had four outstanding warrants for failure to appear for battery, resisting arrest and driving with a suspended license, was also arrested for possession of marijuana over 20 grams, possession of drug paraphernalia and maintaining a house for drug use.

The three-year-old boy was taken by the Florida Department of Children and Families and placed into the care of his grandmother.
Judd stresses that the child will not face any charges.
He said, "There is absolutely no reason to think that was an intentional act, other than he was a baby playing with what he thought was some sort of toy. But, we will hold the adults appropriately liable for the conduct."
The two-year-old girl was shot one time in her upper left chest, and is currently in critical but stable condition at Lakeland Regional Health. She suffered severe injuries to her internal organs and Judd said she will be transferred to an intensive services hospital in Central Florida for additional care.
Judd said all of the adults are cooperating and added, "This just appears to be a horrible, tragic accident that never should have occurred."

For once, Charlize Theron has begun to witness more women in power roles with the film industry.
"Women are tearing down the whole … building," Theron said after she received the prestigious Sherry Lansing Leadership Award at The Hollywood Reporter's Women in Entertainment breakfast gala Wednesday in Los Angeles. The Oscar winner was handed the award by her friend Seth Rogen for excelling as a trailblazer and her philanthropy work in Hollywood.
Theron praised female leaders who have paved ways as heads of studio departments, directors, producers and those that have created their own production companies. She said women should lean on each other as resources to strengthen their voices.
"I want us to keep each other accountable, use each other as resources and push each other to keep using our voices and platforms for something greater than ourselves," Theron said. The actor said she's been inspired by young people through her Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project, which is an organization dedicated to making a difference for people in South Africa.
"In the face of what we would consider adversity or concrete ceilings, they see opportunity and room for change, growth and inclusion," Theron said.
Previous honorees include Oprah Winfrey, Meryl Streep, Viola Davis, Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Anniston and Barbra Streisand.
In a heartfelt speech, Rogen called Theron the most impressive person he has been around. He then joked about how he's physically intimidated to work with Theron on a project because "she murders people in every movie she does."
Rogen's joke drew a collective laugh from the audience. The actor delivered more comic relief when he jokingly took a jab at an absent Kim Kardashian, who was a scheduled presenter at the event.
"I have seen every episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians. I know she's not doing something more important than this," Rogen said as the audience members laughed and applauded. He then added: "She's never done nothing more important than this."
Theron praised the work of Issa Rae, who was earlier honored with the Equity in Entertainment Award, which recognized her for amplifying the voices of underrepresented communities in the entertainment industry.
Yvonne Orji, who presented Rae with the award, called her a unique visionary and a "risk taker." She credited Rae for creating opportunities for people of color and showing the beauty of south Los Angeles through five seasons of her HBO series Insecure, which ended in 2021.
"What stands out most for me is her unfailing support of the marginalized, her extreme selflessness, her dogged belief that everyone can win," said Orji, who starred on Insecure.
Rae said some of her success can be credited to "operating from a scared place."
"It makes you impatient about what you wish to happen," she said. "It makes you fearless about the things you normally might be afraid of."
Jamie Lee Curtis, Janelle Monae, Margot Robbie, Addison Rae and Gracie Abrams presented scholarships as part of THR's Women in Entertainment mentorship program.
Around USD1 million in university scholarships were presented to female high school seniors from under-served communities in Los Angeles. The high schoolers will also be paired with top-level female entertainment executives, lawyers and agents.
Members of the incoming mentee class of 2023 were also given new Apple Mac Book Air laptops, which were provided by the Edie Wasserman Women in Hollywood Fund.
