Mining education in South Africa; past, present and future
Phillips Huw, R.
CIM Bulletin (1974) 92(1033): 97-102
At the end of a century of mining education in South Africa, it is appropriate to reflect on the past, take stock of the present and ponder the future of mining education. While it is likely that changes in the mining industry will generate an increased demand for mining graduates, the number of suitably qualified applicants to study mining is worryingly small. While good progress has been made in unifying the educational system that previously provided schooling on a racially separate basis, it appears that a decade or more will be required to raise competency levels in mathematics, science and English, and this paper describes the process as it affects mining engineering programs. It also describes the initiatives currently being undertaken by the University of the Witwatersrand and the mining industry to ensure that the South African industry receives an adequate flow of well-qualified mining graduates, despite more than 70% of the intake coming from severely disadvantaged educational backgrounds.

TFT M&E Associate completes charity fundraiser Tour de Cornwall with ex-footballers
Top left – Mark at Land's End on Day 1 of the 'Tour'
Mark Fenwick, one of TFT's keen cyclists, has just completed the Tour de Cornwall: 190 miles and 16,000 ft of climbing over three days across Cornwall to raise money for umbrella charity 11 Foundation. The charity 'curate unique collaborations to provide support and funding to established charities to help enable health related initiatives, community led environment schemes and the provision of opportunities for disadvantaged and vulnerable people' (www.11foundation.co.uk).
Former Chelsea and England footballer Joe Cole, who set up 11 Foundation with his wife Carly, joined the group of property professionals for the ride along with former teammates Wayne Bridge and Steve Sidwell. To keep in line with COVID-19 measures, riders had their temperatures checked before they set off each day and anyone with symptoms was pulled out of the event.
Upon completion, Mark said:
It was always going to be a challenge, however the certainly training paid off! We had fantastic weather for three days and with every climb our thoughts inevitably turned to the amazing cause we were raising money for. The rides were gruelling – even for the seasoned rider – but the entire group proudly completed the tour.
Donations from friends, family, TFT colleagues and industry peers have sponsored Mark over £2k, beating his £1750 target to help the team raise close to £50k for the charity.
This ride couldn't have been possible without everyone's incredibly generous donations and the support of my sponsors. We have just reached the £50,000 mark which is an amazing achievement by all.
A massive thank you to all of my colleagues at TFT for sponsoring me for this challenge!

Newcastle's The Gate: creating the future of leisure and retail
We know all too well that the retail sector is undergoing a period of transformation, but whether that means decline or rebirth seems to depend increasingly on the vision of a brand or store in question. Yes, shopping habits are changing, rendering many tricks of retail past irrelevant and unproductive, but we're seeing new innovators and fast-moving incumbents take steps to get ahead of the curve. Familiar shopping centre and leisure brands are highly exposed to these challenges but, equally, by leveraging their large estates in the right way they can create a major advantage in a changing landscape.
The Gate is a retail and leisure complex situated in central Newcastle, which originally opened in 2002. It now plays host to 19 venues including nine food and drink outlets and five unique leisure activities including increasingly popular activity: escape rooms. With 18.65m tourists visiting Newcastle & Gateshead in 2018, a 3.5% increase from 2017[1], the Gate has had to rethink its offering to remain a popular destination for a broad range of visitors.
TFT has been lucky enough to be part of the transformation of The Gate, Newcastle, since it has been in the hands of investors The Crown Estate. As lead building consultant, we're supporting its reinvigoration as a modern leisure destination by incorporating new and unique features to position it as a one-of-a-kind destination.
Jake Honor, project lead and Associate at TFT said:
"Since our involvement commenced on site in 2013, we have seen a shift in the retail and leisure market to becoming a much more challenging environment for landlords and tenants alike. We have also seen individual tenants more and more determined to overcome these challenges and best position themselves with a unique market offering."
With several vacant units at the start of the 2019, it was all hands-on deck to achieve a complete makeover over the last 12 months. The transformations are clearly oriented towards a new generation of entertainment, including Cineworld's first 4DX cinema in the North East which boasts 'extreme sensory cinema' capable of simulating effects like water, wind, scent, strobe lighting and motion to put you in the middle of the action. It was the largest project to date at The Gate at a value of £7m. But that's not the only immersive entertainment on offer, with one of the largest gaming and virtual reality entertainment centre in the UK, YuMe, and The WonderBar and Mayfair Pub & Kitchen which offers guests interactive multiplayer darts tournaments, live music, sports events and more.
The 220,000sq ft retail wonderland is now able to set itself apart from its competitors by combining forward-thinking market insight and a readiness to adapt for a changing leisure sector. Supporting this transformation, TFT provided proactive and technically informed advice to ensure that the works would achieve the vision of The Crown Estate and the expectations of The Gate's many future visitors. As more venues appraise the potential of a new generation of retail, leisure, or perhaps more accurately a hybrid of the two, the specifics of how such projects are carried out could be a deciding factor in their long-term viability.
"Our projects and work streams for the site have been diverse; ranging from large scale full common area refurbishment work to individual unit enabling works, dilapidations and fit-out reviews, which has covered multiple TFT offices, disciplines and skill matrix's."
It is no secret that there is a high street crisis in the UK and the decline in shoppers is at a growing rate, but do experience-led retail offerings promise to reverse this loss? The Global Wellness Institute have reported that fitness and wellbeing industry sales have been thriving as more and more health-conscious individuals are making efforts to incorporate fitness into their daily regimes. Similarly, we are seeing more funding going into inclusive leisure activities for a wider customer profile, including disabled, elderly and young consumers.
"Looking forward we see significant potential for growth in the North East, with key infrastructure programmes rolled out with this family-friendly leisure centre paving the way for the sector, proving to be the best in its class."
If you need a team of consultants with retail and leisure experience, and deep understanding of building materials and systems which those sectors demand, get in touch with us, we'd love to hear about your challenges.

«Отры́в» — российский полнометражный художественный фильм-триллер 2018 года режиссёра Тиграна Саакяна.

Премьера фильма состоялась 12 февраля 2019 года в кинотеатре «Октябрь» в Москве. Выход в широкий прокат состоялся 14 февраля 2019 года. В первый уикенд показа фильм собрал 7,5 млн рублей.

Критика фильма состоит из обвинений в плагиате, так как сюжет фильма похож на сюжет американского триллера «Замёрзшие», снятого режиссёром Адамом Грином в 2010 году.

Сюжет
Группа приятелей хочет встретить Новый год на вершине горы, чтобы получить максимум впечатлений. Для этого они добираются до старого фуникулёра, расположенного на вершине горы. Подготовка к празднованию была в самом разгаре, но никто из них даже представить себе не мог, чем обернётся для них эта ситуация. Всё кардинально меняется, когда вагончик, на котором ребята отправились в путь, неожиданно останавливается. Спустя некоторое время подача электричества возобновляется, и вагончик продолжает путь, поэтому, когда он останавливается второй раз, никто из собравшихся в нём не придаёт этому большого значения - все начинают праздновать новый год прямо там. Однако к утру первого января он так и не трогается. Ребята сначала надеются, что к ним должна прийти помощь. Чтобы согреться, они разводят костёр, сжигая разный мусор. Однако костерок быстро гаснет, также как и их надежда. Группу людей начинает охватывать паника, в них просыпаются низменные инстинкты выживания. Сначала ребята предпринимают попытку спуститься вниз по тросу, но один из них срывается в расщелину скалы, скрывавшуюся под слоем снега. Оставшиеся начинают терять надежду на спасение. Внутри вагончика начинается война за выживание

PBS Is Missing From Streaming Lineups, and That Needs to Change
Remember when people would try to bolster their intellectual and cultural cred with a dismissive "I don't watch television?" or "I only watch PBS?" You don't hear that much anymore, thanks in part to the fact that we're living through a second golden age of television. It's also due to the fact that, for cord cutters at least, PBS content is harder to find than it used to be.
As a subscriber to Hulu + Live, one of my few major complaints is that while I can get my local network affiliates, my PBS station is missing. Hulu isn't alone in this; PBS is absent from all the vMVPDs, and it's not the vMVPD's fault. PBS senior director of corporate communications Aparna Kumar told Cord Cutters News last year that the reason is simple: local PBS stations don't have live linear streaming rights.
All kidding about TV snobbery aside, the lack of PBS content on vMVPDs is a problem. Ever since the FCC reserved lower FM frequencies for non-commercial, educational stations in the 1940s, public broadcasting has been a crucial part of our culture. Its importance was further cemented by the passage of the Public Broadcasting Act of 1967, which established the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and PBS, which works with local affiliates to deliver content that's educational, less prone to political extremes, and unbeholden to advertisers. We can argue about the degree to which it's met those goals, but the bottom line is that PBS has always provided an alternative to commercial television's worst tendencies.
Of course, in 1967 nobody foresaw the rise of OTT or the licensing labyrinth it would create. Thankfully, PBS is actively working on getting on vMVPDs, according to comments made by PBS president and CEO Paula Kerger on Saturday. Even better, the network is doing so in a way that will stay true to its mission. "The more that we can continue to focus on that unique aspect of the fact that we are a media service that lives and breathes at the community level and that there's stuff there that they can't find on Netflix, that is going to be of great value," Kerger said, according to TV Technology.
When can we expect to see PBS in skinny bundles? Kerger didn't say, but it sounds like it's not far off. In the meantime, some PBS content is available in the broadcaster's app, and there's always OTA. I'm just hoping it's on Hulu when Ken Burns's Country Music premieres in September.
Hulu Begins Testing Pause Ad Unit With Charmin and Coca-Cola
The new format will show an overlay ad over part of the screen when a program is paused, and is currently in beta testing.
Hulu Planning Interface Changes for On-Demand and Live Video
Hulu's interface will become a little more conventional in the near future, and for many subscribers that's a good thing.
Popular Skinny Bundles Still Aren't Catering to Cord Cutters
Skinny bundles have made a lot of improvements in a short time, but until they can detail exactly what live sports they carry they aren't replacements for pay TV.
PBS Kids Intros Streaming Video Stick With an Offline Option
It's shaped like a race car and it comes with a kid-friendly remote. How cute is that? It also doesn't need Wi-Fi to entertain young viewers.

Kiss The Girls: Make Them Cry is a 1979 video art piece by Dara Birnbaum. The piece is constructed of footage recorded from the television game show Hollywood Squares. The bulk of the piece is made up from recorded introductory gestures of female celebrities participating in that game show, which are synced to then-contemporary disco songs.

Video
Like Birnbaum's 1978 video Technology/Transformation: Wonder Woman, the single-channel video Kiss The Girls: Make Them Cry was created via Birnbaum's recording of broadcast television, which consists of a great part of her late 1970s practice The content of the video consists of segments of the introductory shots of female celebrities on the television game show Hollywood Squares, in which they greet the audience with exaggerated body movements and facial gestures. These segments are repeated throughout the video, and are often rewound giving a "jerky" appearance to these shots. The face shots are accompanied by panning shots of the tic-tac-toe board of the Hollywood Squares set, showing the entire grid and the celebrities within.

In between Hollywood Squares footage, Birnbaum places black screens with white layers displaying the lyrics to songs used in the video. Two of these songs are by amateur singers, "Yellow Bird" and the English nursery rhyme Georgie Porgie, the latter of which being the origin of the video's title. Birnbaum also uses two contemporary disco songs in this piece, including the band Toto's adaptation of the previous rhyme Georgy Porgy and singer-songwriting duo Ashford & Simpson's Found a Cure. Unlike the other songs, Toto's "Georgy Porgy" is synchronized to the introductory shots, with the music choreographing and animating the movements of the women in the squares.

In creating Kiss The Girls: Make Them Cry Birnbaum chose women she considered female stereotypes on Hollywood Squares, whose careers "had mostly faded." Birnbaum chose women from three categories: a blond, a brunette, and a child, unique due to their self presentation in the game show. Likewise Birnbaum notes the "unreal" nature of these gestures along with their intent of appealing to a large television audience. Birnbaum's choice of contemporary disco songs was informed by her perception of the Hollywood Squares grid looking like a Disco floor.

Critical response
Much of the critical response of Kiss The Girls: Make Them Cry examines Birnbaum's appropriation of television footage and critique of portrayals of femininity on television. Pamela Lee argues that Kiss the Girls: Make Them Cry is a portrayal of the game show as a "spectacle of gendered dynamics" in which the extroverted motions and gestures of the female contestants become a mechanism for the circulation of their images. For Lee the women in the video act as an "imagined spectrum of 'feminine' behavior," with these behaviors shown without their motivation. The synching of the repeated gestures to "Georgy Porgy" also allows the viewer to focus on the gesture itself, divorced from its original intent.

In his 1982 article "Allegorical Procedures: Appropriation and Montage in Contemporary Art" Benjamin Buchloh analyzes Kiss The Girls: Make Them Cry as part of an examination of the artistic technique of appropriation. Buchloh characterizes Birnbaum's television footage video works as focused on the genres and conventions of television, along with claiming that due to the "revelatory" nature of her work she can be set against media artists who sought to bring television "up to date." In analyzing Birnbaum's videos Buchloh claims that Birnbaum's work reveals "the theater of professional facial expressions, performed by actors on the television screen," which he sees as a new site of the domination of human behavior by ideology. Buchloh backs up this assertion by referring to Kiss The Girls: Make Them Cry, describing the video as the intersection of "physiognomic detail and meaning" along with referring to another Birnbaum video "POP-POP VIDEO: General Hospital/Olympic Women Speed Skating (1980).

Christine Ross focuses on the editing, arguing cutting to "not sequences or fragments but mere instants" remove the context women in the media are seen through.

It can be hard to know how much to feed your dog.
If you're worried that your dog may be overweight, the scales alone may not be the best way of confirming this. The following guide can vary from breed to breed (a greyhound will carry weight differently compared to a bulldog, for example) but it's a good place to start.
Have a look at your dog's ribs. If they're super visible, this may mean that they're underweight. You should be able to feel them distinctly beneath their coat, covered by a small amount of fat beneath the skin. If you can't feel them at all, your dog is probably pretty overweight.
A quarter of dogs in the UK are obese, which is defined by vets as carrying 20% more weight than they should. Overweight dogs can be prone to bone, ligament and joint damage, as well as diabetes, as well as respiratory and heart conditions. We always recommend that you talk to your vet if you're looking to make changes to your dog's diet or if you're concerned that they may be suffering with health complications as a result of being overweight.
It can be tricky to work out how much your dog should be eating: it depends on their age, their current weight, how much exercise they're getting, and what shape they're currently in. Our advanced nutritional calculator does all of the hard work for you, and works out an ideal portion size for your dog which takes into account whether they need to slim down, put weight on, or simply stay as they are. If you don't have an up-to-date weight for your dog from the vet, you can use your own scales - simply weigh yourself, then pick up your dog and weigh yourself again, and subtract your own weight from the total to get your dog's weight.
If you think your dog needs to shed a few pounds, we can help. Our meals are made with the freshest, human-grade meat and vegetables, and they're low fat as well as delicious. We can work out a bespoke plan for your dog and send their healthy, pre-portioned meals to your door. You'll be able to keep in touch with our Customer Love team and monitor your dog's progress with them if you've got a specific goal weight in mind for them. We're hoping to make the UK's dogs healthier, one meal at a time!

Father sentenced to 40 years in toddler's death
Stephanie Taylor @TNews_Steph
A Tuscaloosa man who killed his young daughter has been sentenced to serve 40 years in prison.
Samuel Cabbil, 33, pleaded guilty Thursday to murder in the death of his daughter Kandice, who was 20 months old when she died Jan. 28, 2018.
He was initially charged with capital murder, but reached an agreement with prosecutors to plead guilty to felony murder and serve 40 years in prison.
Cabbil admitted to police that he shook, pushed and struck the girl. He said he "squeezed her face" and pushed her down, according to investigators. He said he picked her up by one arm, then held her by both hands and shook her because she wouldn't stop crying.
He said he then put her facedown onto a bed after shaking her, but turned her head to one side so she could breathe. He checked on her throughout the day, but she never awakened.
Cabbil was staying at his brother's home at Broadmoore Gardens at the time. The brother's girlfriend told police she came home to find Cabbil lying in the bed next to his unresponsive daughter.
He called 911 several hours later. She was rushed to DCH Regional Medical Center, where doctors noted severe bruises to her head, face, back and buttocks that indicated ongoing abuse.
The medical examiner who conducted the autopsy determined she suffered severe blunt force trauma and multiple skull fractures.

Cops Say Rihanna's Injuries Are "Devastating Proof of Abuse"
LOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - Law enforcement officials tell TMZ that Rihanna's injuries are "horrific."
LAPD officers took pictures of injuries to the 20-year-old singer's face and arms following an alleged fight with boyfriend Chris Brown Saturday night.
Brown has been charged with making felony criminal threats.
Officials who've seen the photos of Rihanna's injuries say her face was swollen, her lip split and her nose bloodied. There were also bite marks on her arms and fingers.
Rihanna says Brown hit her with his fists, according to police.
Rihanna spent Sunday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. According to E! News, a decoy was used as Rihanna made her way out the back exit of the hospital to avoid being photographed.
In the wake of the incident, Rihanna has postponed an upcoming concert scheduled for Friday in Kuala Lumpur. Concert promoters say the event will be rescheduled.

Hey guys this is pretty epic info. Really appreciate it. I am not sure if I will actually end up buying all of it this year. Maybe just the boots and then rent skis to test out a few different configurations.
The Icelantic ones also looks killer.
Whistler is a special place..One of my favorites.
Your boots are the most important piece of equipment and nothing else matters if your boot isn't the right flex and fit. You could have the best skis in the world but without a good boot, you will never get the full performance out of them. Your boots are the interface between you and your ski. So few people recognize this.
If you are traveling, demo/rent skis. A) easier, don't have to haul skis. B) the skis will likely be the best suited for that particular region. C) You get to try a wide range and decide what you like or don't.
I think you're on the right path with investing in a boot.
Good to hear...I kind of picked up on that both from your link and from my local shop.
Loved the wite-up. Lots of info, some of which I had managed to piece together from a lot of sources, but nothing as concise.


How can we build a sustainable society? From designing cities and technologies that use green energy, to health care and agriculture that can sustain billions, the sustainability challenges that face us today are immense. The field of biomimicry seeks solutions to such problems by looking to the diverse ways in which organisms have adapted to varied and sometimes extreme environments. With over 1.3 million described species (and likely over 8 million in existence), chances are a species out there has evolved some solution to a particular problem. But how do we go about figuring out which species this might be? And which trait holds the adaptation in which we are interested? What might be some limitations associated with copying this adaptation--how might we build on it instead? This course teaches bio-inspired approaches to sustainability solutions. Throughout the course, students work in teams of complementary expertise to identify a sustainability problem, research a relevant biological system, and build a prototype bio-inspired solution to their focal problem.

Lambley Nursery
Artist Criss Canning and her husband David Glenn own Lambley Nursery, an amazing plant nursery in central Victoria, renowned for their incredible array of dry climate plants. The couple have been living on their 40 acre property for 25 years, part of which they have transformed into a thriving garden.
Our gardens columnist Georgina Reid recently caught up with the couple to chat about their incredible property, and Criss's upcoming exhibition at Mossgreen in Melbourne.

'Every morning when I walk out the front door, beauty greets me,' says artist Criss Canning when describing her home and garden, near the central Victorian town of Ascot. Criss and her husband David Glenn own Lambley Nursery, a highly regarded plant nursery renowned for growing and sourcing dry climate plants.
The pair have been living at their 40 acre property, Burnside, for around 25 years, and have transformed 5 acres around the house from windswept, flat farmland into a thriving nursery business and a large rambling garden full of plants that are perfectly suited to the harsh surrounding environment. According to Criss, the temperatures at Lambley range from -8° in winter to 47° in summer!
David originally started Lambley nursery in the Dandenong Ranges, just outside Melbourne, around 30 years ago. When they moved to Ascot he soon realised the gentle English style perennials he was used to growing there would not cut it in the extreme environment they found themselves in.
'About 15 years ago, in the middle of the 10 year drought, David said 'we're never going to be able to grow these plants well in this climate!' recalls Criss. 'We looked really hard at what plants were doing well, and David researched plants he thought would work.' They then began importing plants from places like Turkey and California, and testing them in the garden, propagating them, and then selling them in their nursery.
Developing the garden has been 'a true adventure' according to Criss. 'It's been very experimental for us,' she says. 'When we first started out, we thought we'd have lots of grey foliage plants and not much colour, but we soon realised there are so many absolutely beautiful and colourful plants that are also very drought tolerant.'
Criss is quick to point out she's not the gardener. That's David's domain – he's been involved in horticulture in some way or another since he was six-years-old! Through his work at Lambley nursery he's established himself as one of Australia's most highly regarded plantsmen. In fact, his reach is international – many of the plants he's bred have become mainstays of gardens the world over, including his own Euphorbia 'Ascot Rainbow'.
And, while we're on the subject of plant breeding, how's this for romance: David bred a pretty blue geranium and named it Geranium 'Criss Canning'. 'It's a beautiful thing, and a fantastic compliment to have a flower named after you,' says Criss.
Criss's involvement in the garden is primarily in its design. She's lent her artist's eye to the layout and structure of the garden – often simply by dragging a stick behind her to mark out garden beds and the locations of trees in the dirt! The resulting garden is a series of rooms, surrounded by conifer windbreaks for protection. There's the one-acre vegetable and flower garden (which feeds Criss and David's five children, 11 grandchildren, and 13 nursery employees!), the Mediterranean garden, the dry climate garden, and more. David is the guiding hand in day-to-day maintenance of the garden, and is assisted by two employees.
At nearly 70, Criss has been painting for around 50 years, and she shows no signs of slowing down. 'I'm at the easel five to six days a week, eight hours a day,' she says. Energised and endlessly inspired by her environment, it's clear that being surrounded by nature nurtures Criss's prolific creative practice.
'My garden is such a huge inspiration for my painting,' says Criss. 'I feel like I live in paradise. There's not a day goes by that David and I don't look at each other and say we feel so incredibly blessed to live the life we do.'

What an absolutely stunning garden.
The photos are exceptional, each a work of art in their own right.
Can you please tell me when you have an open garden day, i would love to visit.
Congratulations on having such great vision and talent.
Hi Mel, the garden is actually open to the public every day except Christmas Day and is well worth the drive! Click on the above link to Lambley Nursery for details :)
This is stunning! I love seeing plant combinations that work locally and are well though out for climate challenges – and so beautiful.
Ive been up to Lambley's a couple of times to have a look and buy some plants and it is such an inspiration. Its always Nice to read about the people behind a great piece of garden design.
I finally got to visit Lambley last year, with a friend I hadn't seen for over 30 yrs. We both loved the garden, its beautiful, practical setting and the inspiring, gorgeous hardy plants.

What man is a man who doesn't try to make the world better?
OOC: I'm not sure what I should be doing, so I'm gonna cop out and say Baldur's unconscious. I'll wake him up once the story progresses.
Standing a few inches over 6 feet, with broad, powerful shoulders and thick, corded muscles and weighing in a bit over 200 pounds, Baldur is an intimidating man by appearance alone. Add to that his near-perpetual scowl, an expression formed of habit rather than an actual reflection of his immediate mood, and his vaguely bestial facial features and slightly longer canine teeth, he can actually cause people to cringe in fear at the sight of him. His deep natural tan complements his dark brown hair, which he keeps short and roughly combed, his neatly trimmed goatee, and equally dark eyes.
Being a Branded, Baldur's skin in covered in markings. His chest and back predominately bear them, with sharp lines and corners forming chaotic and savage shapes separately, but when looked at together meld into a surreal symmetrical and hypnotic pattern. The lines trail off down his arms legs, coming to an end just above his elbows and knees.
Baldur still wears his crimson Temple Guard vestments and armor so as to never forget his past, and out of sentiment for his mother he knows he'll never see again. Composed of a tunic, pants, a cloak, and a full suit of light armor, Baldur erased all marks of the Church from his gear so as to mark him apart. He keeps the colors, though, because of the psychological effect it has one his opponents; the vibrant color stokes the fires of anger in men, not just bulls, and causes his enemies to become less cautious in their attacks.
Contrary to his savage appearance, Baldur is a gentle soul, kind and giving by nature. He tells the truth whenever possible, and does all he can to end the suffering of others, defending the weak and standing in the front line of any conflict. His idealism is not, however, a sign of weakness or naivete. His hard eyes shine with wisdom and insight, and he has a deep understanding of the human psyche. As such, he is quickly able to spot a person's flaws, which tends to aggravate the people around him when he so accurately punches holes in their egos. He's blunt and direct about everything, and is rather quiet and introverted most of the time, but when the situation calls for it, or he's in a particularly good mood, he can be undeniably charming and tactful. He tends to be rather moody, and his sudden shifts in disposition can be confusing to people who have just met him, but after becoming comfortable with someone Baldur is a very enjoyable companion with a playfully sarcastic and charmingly witty and dry sense of humor. He enjoys simple pleasures, like music, dancing, and drinking; he actively tries to hold a good mood whenever his attention is not drawn elsewhere.
He most enjoys practicing his swordplay; he holds no love for violence and death, but of all the dances in the world, none is more intoxicating and beautiful to him than the dance of combat, the step and counter-step, attack and counter-attack. When caught in the throws of the dance, his blades seem to whistle a song as he steps and strikes to his own beat. When in combat, Baldur will actually start to smile as the battle wears on, not out of arrogance, or as a ploy to intimidate, but rather out of the sheer joy of it. His smile is tempered, however, with the vague guilt each death he causes places on his powerful shoulders.
Baldur was born and raised in the Church of Ashera in Begnion by his mother Edina, a high-ranking Cleric in the Church. His mother, a Beorc, had had an illicit affair with a bear Laguz named Aric Armani, and when they found out she was pregnant, they knew they could no longer be together. Knowing that she would be severely punished for her elopement with Aric, they told the hierarchs that Aric had raped her, and so Aric fled north to Crimea to escape his likely execution. For most of his childhood, Baldur knew none of this, and grew up as an accepted part of the community. But things would not stay that way for long, for his heritage eventually came to the fore in his slow aging and the shadows of the Brands that tinted parts of his skin. People began to mock him and shun him. His old life slowly rotting around him, Baldur turned to his Mother for guidance, and she offered him a place in the Church. Grateful for any escape from the hell his old life was becoming, Baldur accepted. He was an impatient and impetuous boy, though, ill-suited for a life of study, and so the hierarchs signed him on for the Temple Guard, the armed militia the Church used for protection. With his prodigal strength and imposing size even at his young age, Baldur quickly proved himself capable at arms, and he even took unexpectedly well to his accompanying studies. He still, however, couldn't escape the curse of racism, as many of the other recruits ridiculed him for his heritage. None dared back up their words, though, when he challenged them.
After his years of training, Baldur was sent on his first mission, and ultimately his last. The Church received word that a wayward Priest had been caught up in a Laguz slave uprising, and the Temple Guard was requested to assist him. Baldur and his platoon were first on the scene, finding the village where the Priest was supposedly in trouble to be perfectly peaceful and secure. They found the Priest in question in the town square, along with a very large crowd of villagers crowded around a score of Laguz slaves whom were bound and kneeling before the town well. The situation apparently under control, the majority of the platoon was sent home, while Baldur and two others were left behind to fully assess the damages and see to the proper punishment of the suspects. The Priest explained what had happened, saying that the Laguz had "brutally attacked" a group of villagers who were simply "exercising their rights over their property." One of the Laguz bound before the well managed to work the gag out of his mouth and shouted back that the villagers in question had been beating them with clubs and switches, and the Laguz defended themselves by subduing the attackers, not harming any of them in any significant way. The villager watching over them cuffed the Laguz on the side of the head and stuffed the gag back in his mouth.
Baldur didn't know what to believe; apparently there were no witnesses, and it was the word of the slaves against the word of the villagers who were attacked. The Priest called for the execution of the slaves, and the other two Guardsmen unanimously agreed. The first stepped up and grabbed the Laguz who had spoken out by the front of his shirt and dragged him forward while the second stepped behind him and drew a dagger from his belt. Baldur stared in stunned silence and watched the Guardsmen wrestle the struggling slave to the ground. Finally, they managed to pin him and the second man raised the dagger above his head. Baldur cried out for them to stop, and all eyes turned on him quizzically. He turned to the Priest and asked him to give these slaves a trial, asked him for proof of the accusations lain against them, and for time to find proof if the slave's story was true, but the Priest would have none of it.
"I am a Priest of Ashara, and I say it is Ashara's will," he explained, as if that should be proof enough. In response, the Guardsmen pulled the slave back up to his knees and drove the dagger into his neck. Baldur screamed in protest, but the deed was done and the Laguz slave slumped to the floor, dying. Cold fury flooded through Baldur's mind as he stared helplessly at the poor dying slave, and his icy glare slowly turned on the two Guardsmen who had just killed him. Realizing his intent, the Guardsmen stood and warily drew their swords, eyeing him dangerously.
"You actually sympathize for these beasts?" the first one asked, spitting on the floor in disgust. "You're no better than they are, Branded freak!"
With that, Baldur's rage boiled over and he drew his sword with a snarl and charged. The Guardsmen responded with practiced efficiency, swinging around to either side to flank him. Time slowed for Baldur as he watched them approach; all sound fell away but the crunch of his booted feet on the dirt ground and he charged, and the pounding of his heart as adrenaline coursed through his veins. Cold fury sharpening his focus and reflexes, Bladur cut to the right and fell upon the first Guardsman with surprising speed for one his size, quickly overwhelming him with the unexpectedly bold attack. With a single heavy slash, Baldur sent his opponent's sword clattering to the floor and brought his blade back in, slicing across his opponent's neck and nearly decapitating him. Hearing the approach of the other Guardsman behind him, Baldur fell into a crouch and spun around, raising his sword above his head to block the expected attack. It came with astounding force, hammering Baldur down and forcing him to his knees. The attacks kept coming, keeping him low, and Baldur knew he couldn't stay this way or his arm would eventually tire and his guard would fail. He saw his downed opponent's sword lying next to him, and his quickly snatched it up in his free hand and swiped it low at his attacker's feet. The Guardsman's grieves saved his leg from being cleaved off, but the blow had enough force to sweep him off his feet. The Guardsman landed on his back with a thud, the air quickly whooshing out of his lungs, and Baldur was atop him before he could bring his guard to bear, driving his other sword into his neck with a savage snarl.
All of the sudden, the sound flooded back and he heard... nothing. All around him, the villagers stared in stunned silence at the massacre they had just witnessed, men and women gawking in surprise, mothers holding their children close and covering their eyes. And standing above them all was the Priest, trembling in fear as Baldur's terrible gaze fell on him. With slow and deliberate movements, Baldur stood and turned toward the Priest, stalking in with bloody blades held in white-knuckled hands. The Priest cried out for help, shouting at the villagers to do something, protect him, kill Baldur. But they did nothing, for what could they do? Baldur slowly stalked up to the Priest and in one swift motion stabbed both blades through his chest.
"Is this Ashara's will as well?" he asked, his voice devoid of emotion. Staring into Baldur's eyes, the Priest slumped to the floor, dead. Baldur withdrew his swords from the dead Priest's cooling corpse and turned to the villagers.
"I'm not going to kill you," he said, the crowd letting out a breath they hadn't known they were holding. "I'm setting these Laguz free. Bury the Guardsmen and the Priest, and then go on with your lives, without your slaves."
The villagers, cowed, slowly dispersed, dragging the bodies of the Guardsmen and the Priest with them. Baldur turned to the bound slaves, whom were staring at him with tears of joy in their eyes, and cut them free. Amidst the muttered thanks and bows, one of the Laguz stepped forward, his eyes studying Baldur intently.
"What's your name, boy?" he asked.
The Laguz slowly smiled and nodded, holding out a hand for Baldur to shake, and said, "I've much to tell you, young Baldur. My name is Gatz. I knew your father."
After retrieving the body of the murdered Laguz slave and burying him in a secluded field, Gatz told Baldur about the story of his parent's affair, and his father's subsequent banishment. Knowing that he could never return to Begnion, Baldur decided to flee with the newly liberated slaves to Crimea, where Gatz had told him he might find his father.

"I became interested in laser hair removal and other aesthetic treatments over the last 10 years as I have aged. Regarding laser hair removal, I consulted a local vendor here in San Antonio about 5 years ago. The first thing I noticed was that I was not able to get a firm answer regarding pricing. And then once I did receive information about pricing, I found it outrageous. In addition, I was exposed to a high pressure sales session just to be able to figure out the cost of laser treatments.
"As I have grown older, I have experience firsthand the effects of the aging process. My complexion needed to be managed with appropriate soaps and moisturizers. Complexion and overall brightness of the skin can be manipulated with dermaplanning and Retin-A. Skin rejuvenation can be accomplished best by a microneedling facial. Irregularities in complexion such as age spots or melasma are best managed by photo facials. Wrinkles require Botox.
our recommendations are very straightforward and provided to you at an affordable price!
I look forward to providing future patients with effective and efficient laser hair removal and aesthetics services.

Back in the spring, a shortage of computer chips that had sent auto prices soaring appeared, finally, to be easing. Some relief for consumers seemed to be in sight.
That hope has now dimmed.
A surge in COVID-19 cases from the delta variant in several Asian countries that are the main producers of auto-grade chips is worsening the supply shortage. It is further delaying a return to normal auto production and keeping the supply of vehicles artificially low.
And that means, analysts say, that record-high consumer prices for vehicles – new and used, as well as rental cars – will extend into next year and might not fall back toward earth until 2023.
The global parts shortage involves not just computer chips. Automakers are starting to see shortages of wiring harnesses, plastics and glass, too. And beyond autos, vital components for goods ranging from farm equipment and industrial machinery to sportswear and kitchen accessories are also bottled up at ports around the world as demand outpaces supply in the face of a resurgent virus.
"It appears it's going to get a little tougher before it gets easier," said Glenn Mears, who runs four auto dealerships around Canton, Ohio.
Squeezed by the parts shortfall, General Motors and Ford have announced one or two-week closures at multiple North American factories, some of which produce their hugely popular full-size pickup trucks.
Late last month, shortages of semiconductors and other parts grew so acute that Toyota felt compelled to announce it would slash production by at least 40% in Japan and North America for two months. The cuts meant a reduction of 360,000 vehicles worldwide in September. Toyota, which largely avoided sporadic factory closures that have plagued rivals this year, now foresees production losses into October.
Nissan, which had announced in mid-August that chip shortages would force it to close its immense factory in Smyrna, Tenn., until Aug. 30, now says the closure will last until Sept. 13.
And Honda dealers are bracing for fewer shipments.
"This is a fluid situation that is impacting the entire industry's global supply chain, and we are adjusting production as necessary," said Chris Abbruzzese, a Honda spokesman.
An expanding auto-parts shortage could keep prices high until 2023.
(BramanMiami.com)
The result is that vehicle buyers are facing persistent and once-unthinkable price spikes. The average price of a new vehicle sold in the U.S. in August hit a record of just above $41,000 – nearly $8,200 more than it was just two years ago, J.D. Power estimated.
With consumer demand still high, automakers feel little pressure to discount their vehicles. Forced to conserve their scarce computer chips, the automakers have routed them to higher-priced models – pickup trucks and large SUVs, for example – thereby driving up their average prices.
The roots of the computer chip shortage bedeviling auto and other industries stem from the eruption of the pandemic early last year. U.S. automakers had to shut factories for eight weeks to help stop the virus from spreading. Some parts companies canceled orders for semiconductors. At the same time, with tens of millions of people hunkered down at home, demand for laptops, tablets and gaming consoles skyrocketed.
As auto production resumed, consumer demand for cars remained strong. But chip makers had shifted production to consumer goods, creating a shortage of weather-resistant automotive-grade chips.
Then, just as auto chip production started to rebound in late spring, the highly contagious delta variant struck Malaysia and other Asian countries where chips are finished and other auto parts are made.
In August, new vehicle sales in the U.S. tumbled nearly 18%, mainly because of supply shortages. Automakers reported that U.S. dealers had fewer than 1 million new vehicles on their lots in August – 72% lower than in August 2019.
Even if auto production were somehow to immediately regain its highest-ever level for vehicles sold in the U.S., it would take more than a year to achieve a more normal 60-day supply of vehicles and for prices to head down, the consulting firm Alix Partners has calculated.
"Under that scenario," said Dan Hearsch, an Alix Partners managing director, "it's not until early 2023 before they even could overcome a backlog of sales, expected demand and build up the inventory."
For now, with parts supplies remaining scarce and production cuts spreading, many dealers are nearly out of new vehicles.
Some tentative cause for hope has begun to emerge. Siew Hai Wong, president of the Malaysia Semiconductor Industry Association, says hopefully that chip production should start returning to normal in the fall as more workers are vaccinated.
Though Malaysia, Vietnam, Taiwan, Singapore and the United States all produce semiconductors, he said, a shortage of just one kind of chip can disrupt production.
"If there is disruption in Malaysia," Wong said, "there will be disruption somewhere in the world."
Automakers have been considering shifting to an order-based distribution system rather than keeping huge supplies on dealer lots. But no one knows whether such a system would prove more efficient.
Eventually, Hearsch suggested, the delta variant will pass and the supply chain should return to normal. By then, he predicts, automakers will line up multiple sources of parts and stock critical components.
"There will be an end to it," said Ravi Anupindi, a professor at the University of Michigan who studies supply chains. "The question is really when."

Off the top of my head, I'd give the award to "We Don't Wanna Grow Up" from Hook as the worst addition to a Williams score. Even though "Jedi Rocks" was composed by Jerry Hey, it still beats out the Hook song. In all fairness, writing a simple song for piano to be performed by a bunch of kids in a play is probably not going to elicit a memorable piece of music…I just wish they had ditched both the songs and added more score to the original release (as well as track titles). As far as Williams' odder work goes, I think I've been pretty charitable. "Heartbeeps" had its moments and I had no problem with the more pop-oriented music in "SpaceCamp".

What's the interior like?
What's it like on the road?
What about safety features?
Practical Motoring Says: Audi kicks another goal in its refreshed model range. The new engine in the S5 is every bit as good as it is in the new S4, but the car has added coupe style and refinement. Audi flaunts its best in-class features and it should, the car is an evolution of smart engineering.
Almost a decade has passed since Audi unveiled its A5 simultaneously at the 2007 Geneva and Melbourne motor shows. During its reveal, A5 designer Walter de Silva declared the A5, "is the most beautiful car I've designed in my career".
Precisely nine and a half years on the gracefully ageing A5 seemed all but forgotten while the manufacturer from Ingolstadt concentrated its efforts on producing a well stocked army of SUV vehicles, which it now has. And so the tide is changing.
Following the recent launch of the S4 was the launch of the updated A5/S5 Coupe, and we attended the first drive in Tasmania earlier this week. The coupe is the A5's second biggest seller behind the five-door sportback but ahead of the cabriolet and that trend is expected to continue with the latest updated model.
The presentation for the new A5 and S5 model had as many mentions of best in class as it did technical specifications. Most economical petrol in its class, largest boot space in class, first in class with adjustable feeding seat belt anchor, lowest drag coefficient, best aeroacoustics, most economical diesel in the market… It goes on.
And why not mention them, because the sum of the improvements Audi has made in the A5 equals a car that's a pleasure to drive either cruising or pushing around corners, even if it doesn't really look that much different.
The father of A5's design, Walter de Silva, wasn't involved in the updated design changes and instead Audi employed ex-Skoda designer Jakob Hirzl for the job.
The updated aesthetics look more impressive in person than in photos. It's because of the subtle changes to the hip-line and massaging of curves, and it's effective. The hip line is sharper than before and cuts in lower on the front of the A5. It accentuates a low sloped bonnet with a new 'power dome' bump, standard on all engine models. There's little things less obvious too, like a very thin high mounted rear stop light which is barely noticeable (possibly another first).
The body is 15kg lighter and produced from steel and aluminium. It's also stiffer, especially around the suspension points which makes finer tuning of the 5-point multi-link suspension units (front and rear) possible.
Audi A5 models come equipped with 7-speed dual clutch transmission while the S5 gets an 8-speed automatic.
The entry model A5 is a front-wheel drive 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbocharged petrol producing 140kW and 320Nm, which replaces the 1.8-litre entry model. The new model is more than a second faster in the 01-00kmh sprint, now taking 7.3sec. It's also the most economical petrol in its class at 5.5L/100km combined cycle. It is priced from $69,900 (+ORCs).
Slightly more powerful is the quattro 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbocharged diesel which produces 185Kw and 400Nm. It improves the previous model's 0-100km/h from 7.8sec to 7.2sec and lower economy to 4.2L/100km. It's the most economical diesel in the market and is priced from $73,900 (+ORCs).
The expected volume seller is the quattro 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbocharged petrol, producing 185kW and 370Nm and dropping 0.6sec off its 0-100km/h time to now 5.8sec. Priced from $81,500 (+ORCs).
The most powerful coupe in the lineup (until the RS5, due in quarter four this year) is the S5. Gone is the previous supercharged six for a new 3.0-litre turbocharged six-cylinder petrol producing 260kW at 5400-6400rpm and 500Nm from 1370-4500rpm. It's 15kW more powerful than the previous engine and drops the 0-100km/h sprint from 4.9sec to 4.7sec – that's as fast as the previous model RS4 avant.
The S5's new engine features a 90-degree vee design with a hot-inside turbo (lowers turbo lag) and produces peak torque earlier in the rev range. It also gets a special 'S-mode' in virtual cockpit which centres the tachometer and provides a lap timer. It is priced to sell at $105,800 (+ORCs), $16,815 lower than its previous price of $122,615.
The A5 and S5 get some new gear too, such as virtual cockpit across the range, courtesy lights, kick to open boot, LED matrix lights (option), cross-traffic alert with automatic braking, more safety features, audi connect (Google satellite maps and traffic data) and wifi hotspot for up to 8 connections.
A new to A5 predictive efficiency driving mode utilises nav data and road conditions to preempt braking and acceleration points, such as approaching a roundabout, and provide better efficiency.
What's it like inside?
The A5 has shrunk in width by 8mm, now 1846mm wide, however the interior space is actually larger, providing 23mm more legroom and 6mm higher head space. The width feels rather capacious because of Audi's horizontal architecture, where the vents and dash stretch out in a long smooth design rather than be broken up into parts.
The leather seats in the base and mid-spec model are comfortable and supportive, and about five hours of driving in both models combined did not feel tiring. The seats aren't a touch on the luxury provided by the optional (and standard in S5) fine Nappa leather seats and the bolstering they provide, but they are better than some other base model seats.
The seats are electronically adjustable and provide for quite a low hip point if needed, and there's a lot of room in the footwell upfront. Manually adjusted tilt and reach steering helps find a good driver position. The seat belt anchor feeder is height adjustable.
The design is minimalist and similar to that of other current Audis, and it looks premium. The materials used are a mix of premium and good, although nearly all touch point (infotainment and nav controls, climate control and steering wheel inputs, are quality). The 1-9 nav shortcut buttons are also capacitive and heighten the premium appeal inside.
Mod cons include automatic up and down windows, two USB ports in the centre console along with a 12v socket and aux input, and the air-conditioning unit features a special filter to scrub odours and contaminants from the air. The two USB ports connect a smartphone to either Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, and in testing provided 50 per cent charge up in 30 minutes on iPhone 7. Apple CarPlay connectivity in Audis is seamless, and it is no different in the new A5.
The front seats provide a long footwell of space, but it sacrifices the rear seat space dearly. The rear seats however have had some attention and are comfortable and there's bottle holders either side. The rear seat is now 40:20:40 split fold, very convenient for lugging some skis down the centre port and four passengers.
The boot has a 465 litre capacity and is rather deep. It's the largest boot in its class and is as large as the previous A4 Avant. A nice touch is the ability to split fold the rear seats from the boot rather than the front cabin.
What's it like on the road?
We drove the entry model front-wheel drive 2.0 TFSI, quattro 2.0 TFSI and S5. The entry model was our first drive which started through the small city of Hobart to half-way along Tasmania's eastern coast. Most noticeable was how quiet the cabin is. The A5 has a drag co-efficient of 0.27, 0.02 lower than before, and the engineers have also gone to great lengths to minimise noises caused by problematic creases and joins. The result is a very quiet interior, although the base model, on its 18-inch 40/245 profile Bridgestone Potenza S001 tyres, transmitted the most road noise.
The tyres however kept up well with the A5's sharp chassis and suspension. The base model didn't have adaptive suspension damper tuning (nor the mid-spec quattro 2.0 TFSI we drove, $2210 cost option on both models), however the standard suspension allowed for some body roll in the corners which was more than enough for some playful cornering along the twisting coast.
As a cruiser or five-seat grand tourer, the entry-model A5 is good value. It has comfortable seats, good steering and handling, and the engine is surprisingly quick. Perhaps it's because a 140kw and 320Nm power output isn't much compared with today's high powered sports cars, but in reality the torque is delivered very early in the rev range and quickly plateaus at its peak output. Overtaking or putting your foot down and allowing the swift seven-speed dual clutch to kick down a gear provides plenty of power for overtaking or throttling out of corners. There's some hints of torque steer when provoked, but it's well tamed in most situations thanks to smart torque vectoring at the wheels.
The expected volume seller, the 2.0-litre TFSI quattro, has more urgency from its 185kW and 400Nm engine, but its handling felt similar to the entry-model, with a slightly different weight balance which seemed a touch firmer than the front-wheel drive model. It was also quieter, riding on 19-inch Continental ContiSportContact tyres.
The top spec S5 produces 260kW and 500Nm from its 3.0-litre turbocharged V6 and its acceleration is rapid. It will sprint 0-100km/h in 4.7sec, which means apart from having as large a boot as the previous RS4 avant, it is as quick as it. However curiously the lack of road noise and very well composed adaptive suspension damping removes some of the thrill and sensation of speed. Such is the design of the A5 and S5 to be so refined that the sense of excitement when driving it quickly is somewhat removed. However it is a very good engine, with plenty of power everywhere, and the older 8-speed automatic performs quickly and precisely. The suspension in the S5 has less roll than in the other models we drove, and adjusting between comfort and dynamic was noticeable, with comfort mode able to absorb enough of the rougher roads that they weren't obvious.
The A5 has scored a five-star ANCAP rating and the A5 includes a good amount of standard safety features across all models, including active bonnet, attention assist, pre-sense city with autonomous emergency braking (AEB) and pedestrian detection (up to 85km/h) and pre-sense rear – helps to mitigate rear-end collisions.
Seatbelt safety includes: front pre-tensioners and belt force limiters; 3 point seat belts for both rear passengers including pre-tensioners and seatbelt reminders for all passengers.
Why would you buy one?
The Audi A5 provides refinement and enjoyable coupe driving performance from the entry model up. For buyers with a budget under $70,000, the base model A5 ticks many of the right boxes without much sacrifice. Stretch some more dollars and add a couple optional packages and there's a car which will provide nearly everything most drivers need. The standard safety is already very good, so there's no need to budget for that (unless wanting the well implemented assistance package at $1,900), and as far as performance the 2.0-litre TFSi delivers plenty in both tunes. Step up $30,000 into the $105,800 Audi S5 and there's all the fruit you want plus a blazing engine. It doesn't provide the same visceral thrill as some sports cars, but it's more refined than most. Some sharp handling doesn't compromise much comfort, either.
Our pick would be the entry model which offers all the essential A5 ingredients. The S5 is the true step up in performance however, at least until the RS5 arrives.

That Apple/Android carplay app looks out of place here, I can now see why BMW tried so long to keep their i-drive as the default multimedia 'app', but it appears the people get what they want..

You're right. Indeed, BMW claim its iDrive system is much more sophisticated than the Apple and Android systems, and that including those products in BMWs tended to dumb them down. But, you're right, motoring journalists complained endlessly about cars without these systems because they didn't want to take the time to learn them and explain to readers how they worked. That's why we're going to be rolling out infotainment reviews on PM… because there's more to life than Apple or Android 😉 – Isaac

Give your new puppy time to get used to his new home. It could take a while for your pup's personality to shine through.
Editor's note: Morieka Johnson writes about pets, fashion and money-saving ideas for MNN.com. You can follow her and many other green writers on Twitter @MotherNatureNet.
(MNN.com) -- They're cute, they're cuddly and they greet you with wet kisses when you walk through the door -- no matter how long you've been away. Dogs may even help reduce your blood pressure, enhance your mood and induce a few laughs every now and then. What's not to love about having a dog?
Evaluate your daily routine to determine your preferences, said Andrew Zbeeb, a certified dog trainer and owner of Frogs to Dogs, which helps pooches and their human companions build a successful foundation together.
If you enjoy a long morning jog, an active dog may be your best option. Confirmed couch potatoes need a pooch that's ready to curl up in front of the TV. The same rule applies to the dog's appearance. Some dogs require more grooming than humans. Consider the amount of upkeep you are prepared to tackle. A shaggy dog may seem like a fun option, until you have to sweep all those golden locks off the floor every day.
Check out the American Kennel Club's list of breeds for detailed information about the appearance and general temperament of various dogs. "This information will guide you to be able to match a breed with the circumstances you can offer," Zbeeb said. "But it is important to remember that those are only the genetic traits."
Pet-friendly websites like Animal Planet and Eukanuba feature interactive tools to steer you in the right direction. It also helps to do a little field research by visiting dog parks, animal shelters and rescue groups to see if you connect with a particular type of dog.
Dogs in county shelters typically cost less than $100, a fee that covers any necessary vaccinations as well as spaying or neutering the dog. Taking this route saves an animal from possibly being euthanized, a fate that millions of adoptable dogs face each year.
To relieve overcrowding, shelters often give adoptable dogs to rescue groups such as Rescue Me! Animal Project. These nonprofit organizations serve as puppy PR firms, exposing the dog to potential families through sites like Petfinder.org, Facebook and adoption fairs. The adoption fee is typically higher -- many charge about $200 -- to covers the dog's vaccinations, spay or neuter, a microchip and pet supplies.

Rescue groups also place dogs in foster homes where they can learn the pleasures of just being a family pet. This experience often helps the dog make an easier transition into its forever home. That foster home experience helps a rescue group provide key information about the dog's temperament, which is essential information if you have small children in the home.
"Learn as much as possible about the background of the dog before taking any unnecessary risks with small children," Zbeeb said. "It is important that you adopt a dog that has a proven history of liking kids. Even with that, one should always seek out a professional trainer, so the children and new dog can learn how to safely live together."
Reputable rescue groups will conduct thorough interviews and perhaps even perform a site visit because their ultimate goal is to help adoptable pets avoid euthanasia. Often that means the dog can be returned if things don't work out.
"We want the animal to find their forever home, so we want to make sure there's a good match from the beginning," said Taylor Brand of Rescue Me! "We look for someone who is open to training; someone who wants to learn more about their dog. A better-trained dog is a better-behaved dog."
Determined to get a purebred?
With all the dogs currently available, purchasing a dog from a breeder is as green as buying a Hummer. Some breeds can cost thousands of dollars based on demand. The quest for designer pups also has led disreputable breeders to place dogs in unsafe conditions -- frequently referred to as puppy mills -- where they are bred repeatedly under abusive conditions that cause lasting damage to the dog.
Finding a reputable breeder requires even more research. Most do not advertise, and the dogs are not bred very frequently so there may be a waiting list. Breeders also tend to screen candidates prior to adoption to ensure a good fit. Your veterinarian is a good source for referrals to reputable breeders, Zbeeb said. The breeder also should be able to show proof of the dog's ancestry and temperament. Keep in mind that this information helps eliminate some of the guesswork regarding a dog's behavior, but not its personality.
"A purebred German Shepherd typically is protective of its handler and is a very good guard dog, but I have also trained German Shepherds that were lazy," Zbeeb said. "You have to supply the optimum environment for your dog to develop properly."
If you absolutely, positively must have a purebred, Zbeeb and Brand note that there are plenty available for adoption. The purebred pup of your dreams may be waiting at a local shelter or rescue group site. From cane corsos to miniature schnauzers, breed-specific rescue groups work overtime to place purebred dogs. Just do a Google search for the type of dog you want, and add the word "rescue."
Knowledge is power: Gather information about the dog's past. (Were there children in the previous household? Are there signs that the dog spent its life outdoors?) The smallest amount of information can help you make necessary adjustments. More advice on helping pets and children peacefully coexist is available on Mother Nature Network.
Be patient: "Give the dog time to get used to his new home," he said. "It may take a month or longer for you to see the real personality of your new pal."
Go to school: Join a group training class with your new dog. "It's a great way the both of you to develop a strong foundation, and for you to learn more about your dog's personality," Zbeeb said.
Crate with care: The crate should be a safe haven that your dog chooses for time out. "Forcing him to be in the crate will create a negative association," he said. Instead, allow about two weeks for the dog to get acclimated to this new space. "Feeding and placing toys in the crate is a great way to establish that the crate is his safe place."
No roaming: "Your dog must be properly trained and mature enough before he roams free in the house," Zbeeb warned, especially if the dog came from the cramped spaces of a shelter. Monitor your dog and slowly extend free time.
Don't force a friendship: If you have another dog in the home, he said that the new dog must be introduced in a neutral location. "The introduction of the new dog into your home should be a slow process," he said. "Don't rush it."
Dogs have a carbon pawprint, too: Take steps to make sure your furry friend does his part for the planet.

Tobey Maguire Pays $80,000 to Settle Lawsuit Over High-Stakes Poker. Jemal Countess/Getty Images. Tobey Maguire knows when to throw down his cards and settle up. Earlier this year. 22/06/2011 · Tobey Maguire is one of a number of alleged Hollywood high rollers being sued for their winnings in an illegal, high stakes regular poker game, as RadarOnline and Star Magazine first reported. It was alleged in a deposition of the game's ringleader that Maguire was a frequent participant in the.
According to ABC News, Star Magazine, Radar Online, and other sources, "Spiderman" actor and past World Series of Poker WSOP participant Tobey Maguire pictured is being sued for his involvement in a high-stakes home game in California. Others involved in the suit included noted poker pro Dan Bilzerian, formerly of Victory Poker. 22/06/2011 · Tobey Maguire, Leonardo DiCaprio, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon were reportedly part of high-stakes poker games where tens of thousands of dollars regularly exchanged hands among Hollywood's biggest. Tobey Maguire reportedly collected more than $300,000 in winnings from a convicted Ponzi schemer in a string of high-stakes poker games, part of an estimated $30-$40 million he's reportedly won at. The Hollywood Reporter claims that Maguire had to dole out $80,000 after he and 22 other stars were named as participants in a series of illegal, high-stakes poker games.
Now that Molly's Game has been released digitally, here's a reminder of a scene from the non-fiction book the movie is based upon featuring Tobey Maguire, who is clearly off his nut. Up today on Vanity Fair is an excerpt from Molly Bloom's book, Molly's Game: From Hollywood's Elite to Wall Street's Billionaire Boys Club, My High-Stakes Adventure in the World of Underground Poker. Molly Bloom had celebrities by the score leaning over million-dollar piles of chips at her famous, underground high-stakes poker games. But don't expect to learn their names from "Molly's. 1. Tobey Maguire is Player X. Where most of the characters at the table are composites representing the types of player who in Molly's game. Michael Cera's Player X has only a barely legally protective layer of doubt. Player X, is almost certainly based on Tobey Maguire. The real story is even worse that Cera makes it look. Maguire liked manipulating people even tried to make Molly bark. Und so endet die Geschichte von Molly Bloom, Tobey Maguire und ihren High Stakes Cash Games – in einem New Yorker Gerichtssaal. Nicht jeder wurde verurteilt, und das hätte ja auch nicht jeder verdient, denn private Pokerrunden sind in den USA nicht illegal,.
Les parties ont commencé chez Tobey Maguire et les plus grandes stars s'y retrouvaient: Leonardo Di Caprio, Ben Affleck, Matt Damon ou encore la star de "Maman j'ai raté l'avion" Macaulay Culkin. Ben Affleck était à l'époque un très bon joueur de poker, il avait notamment remporté le California State Championship en 2004 pour 350 000€.

Belarus hands opposition activists prison terms in absentia
by: YURAS KARMANAU, Associated Press
TALLINN, Estonia (AP) — Belarusian authorities on Monday handed lengthy prison terms to two opposition activists who had fled the country, in the first court verdict against dissidents that was announced in absentia.
Aliaksandra Herasimenia and Alexander Opeikin were each sentenced to 12 years in prison. A court in Minsk convicted the two on charges of calling for sanctions and inflicting harm on the national security of Belarus.
Herasimenia, a former swimmer and three-time Olympic medalist, and Opeikin founded the Belarusian Sport Solidarity Foundation, which united hundreds of Belarusian athletes critical of President Alexander Lukahsenko's authoritarian rule.
Belarus was shaken by major protests after the disputed August 2020 reelection of Lukashenko, which the opposition and the West denounced as a sham. Authorities responded to the demonstrations with a crackdown that saw more than 35,000 people arrested and thousands beaten by police. It was followed by an array of crippling Western sanctions.
The foundation created by Herasimenia and Opeikin contributed to canceling the biggest international tournaments in Belarus in 2021, including the European Track Championships, the Ice Hockey World Championship and World Modern Pentathlon Championships —- a humiliation for Lukahsenko, who loves sports and is a proud hockey player.
Belarusian authorities accused the two activists of undermining Belarus' national security. The trial was held behind closed doors and without the accused present in accordance with a new law Lukahsenko signed in July, which allowed courts to try Belarusians who had fled abroad in absentia.
In addition to handing Herasimenia a prison term, the court also ruled to seize her apartment, her car and $48,000 in her bank accounts.
According to Belarus' most prominent human rights group, Viasna, 1,439 political prisoners are currently behind bars in Belarus.
Opposition leader Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya, who also faces prosecution and lives in exile in Lithuania, condemned the sentences handed to Herasimenia and Opeikin on Monday.
"Shameful!.. This is how the regime tries to punish its opponents in exile," Tsikhanouskaya tweeted. "The regime can't get to them, but their property in Belarus was seized, including a car (and) an apartment."
