LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Two men are facing several attempted murder and assault charges after authorities say they opened fire on two adults and two children in a vehicle last month.
Louisville Metro Police say it happened just before 9:30 p.m. Saturday, Sept 2, near the intersection of Watterson Trail and Bardstown Road.
According to Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney Elizabeth Jones Brown, 38-year-old Randall Buford and 35-year-old Christopher Pinguely were traveling in a vehicle when they hit another vehicle containing two adults and two children.
Instead of stopping, Brown says Buford and Pinguely continued on.
Brown says the victims decided to follow Brown and Pinguely in an attempt to obtain their license plate number.
At that point, Brown says, the men opened fire.
Brown says some of the four victims -- again, two adults and two children -- were hit by bullets and some were injured by broken glass. All of them are expected to survive.
Pinguely was arrested in Carroll County, Kentucky the following day, on several charges, including robbery, theft of auto, menacing, wanton endangerment and resisting arrest. He remains in the Carroll County Detention Center.
Brown said Buford was arrested in Indiana.
On Sept. 28, a Jefferson County grand jury indicted both men on four counts of attempted murder, four counts of first-degree assault and four counts of leaving the scene of an accident and failing to render aid or assistance.
Buford was brought back to Kentucky and booked into Louisville Metro Corrections Monday morning to face those charges.
Brown says Pinguely will be brought to Louisville Metro Corrections from Carroll County at a later date.

SUNDANCE REVIEW — "Corporate Animals"
Joseph Salomone 2019-02-15

It's a weird one
Corporate Animals is directed by Patrick Brice, written by Sam Bain and stars Demi Moore, Ed Helms, Jessica Williams, Karan Soni, Isiah Whitlock Jr., Calum Worthy, Dan Bakkedahl, Martha Kelly, and Nasim Pedrad. It tells the story of an egotistical megalomaniac CEO taking her staff on a corporate team-building caving weekend to New Mexico. When disaster strikes, not even their useless guide can save them. Trapped underground by a cave-in, this mismatched and disgruntled group must pull together in order to survive. Corporate Animals is not for everyone and it's got many glaring issues, but I'd be lying if I said it wasn't hilarious.
Patrick Brice is directing here, and if I'm being honest, I didn't know it was him till the credits rolled. Brice truly has one of the most interesting filmographies. The Creep series is one of my favorites, but I really couldn't get into The Overnight, and this one falls somewhere in the middle. Brice and Sam Bain bring a really weird and interesting sense of humor to something that would typically be a generic studio comedy and for the most part, it really works. It's got this really silly David Wain type vibe to it, and for someone who enjoys that type of comedy, I loved it. Not all the jokes land and some of them fall flat on their face, but the pair really throw everything at the wall and I really admire that. I would completely understand if someone absolutely hated this, but I had a great bit of fun with it.
Corporate Animals features an all-star cast and they all kill it. Demi Moore doesn't typically do comedy, but she fits right in here. Ed Helms, while brief, is hilarious and Jessica Williams and Karan Soni make a great pair. The two had great chemistry and had some of the best scenes. My favorite performance in the film might have actually been Calum Worthy. I still haven't decided if he was brilliant or terrible. He has some of the dumbest, but at the same time, hilarious jokes in the movie and gives 100%. There are tons of great sequences, in particular, one where the crew is discussing the possibility of eating a dead body, and tons of sequences that I can't tell if their awful or not, but I had a great time trying to figuring it out.
On a technical level Corporate Animals actually has quite a bit to offer considering it's a low budget comedy. The camera work is actually pretty great. There's tons of interesting camera movement and it never really falls into typical shot/reverse shot territory. The film doesn't look cheap or artificial and aside from a few noticeably bad CGI shots, the visual effects were quite well done. The ending of the film feels a bit rushed and honestly thrown together, but everything before it is so silly and weird that I can't help but enjoy it. That's not to say this is a masterpiece, I'd even struggle to say that it's a great film. It's the definition of a guilty pleasure and I have a soft spot for it.
In short, Corporate Animals is not for everyone, but it was definitely for me. 2.5/5

The Kelowna Greyhound station, seen here before the company's signs were removed, will close Wednesday and has been listed for sale for an asking price of $6 million. —Image: Capital News file
Kelowna Greyhound terminal deserted on second last day of operation
Just three people were on hand, all trying to figure out how to get home
The last bus rolls out of the Kelowna Greyhound station today.
The signs are already down at the soon-to-be-former bus depot at the corner of Enterprise Way and Dilworth Drive.
But while the terminal was empty Tuesday—one day before it was due to close—three people were milling around outside in the parking lot, trying to figure how out how to get home.
"I guess I'll have to use social media more," said Ricky Foster, referring to rideshare ads on sites like Facebook.
He said while he understands Greyhound's decision to end its Western Canadian operations from a business point of view, it will be difficult for some people.
But, he added, the sharing economy is having an impact he is seeing more ads for ridesharing on social media these days.
Meanwhile, another would-be passenger, Mary Elder of North Battleford, Saskatchewan was also looking for a way to get home. The last bus east was only heading as far as Calgary and it was sold out.
Optimistic she would find a way, she said the loss of Greyhound will hurt in her home province, where residents, especially seniors, often depend on the bus service to get to appointments in other, larger centres. In her case, Saskatoon is a 90-minute drive away from where she lives and she said she and other older people often have to go there.
"I've been using Greyhound for 20 years," she said, adding the service will be missed.
An Alberta-based bus company, Ebus, has announced it will start service between Kelowna and the Lower Mainland, as well as between Kelowna and Kamloops Wednesday. That is expected to pick up some of the lost Greyhound service. But so far, there has been no announcement about long-distance bus service to points east of the Okanagan.
The new bus service will use the Kelowna airport at its stop in the city.
But the new service won't help Walter Nevacshonoff, who was also at the Greyhound terminal Tuesday trying to get back to his home in Grand Folks on Wednesday.
With no more buses scheduled to run to the Kootenay's from Kelowna, Nevacshonoff said he was forced to call a friend for a lift.
As he waited, he said he was concerned there were no more buses running to where he needed to go.
The last bus for Vancouver is scheduled to leave Kelowna at 8:45 a.m. today and was sold out.
The terminal, and the land it sits on, has already been listed for sale with an asking price of $6 million.
Earlier this year Greyhound Canada announced it would stop service in Western Canada on all but one route at the end of October. The one remaining route will be between Vancouver and Seattle. That route is operated by Greyhound in Washington State.

For a Successful Prosecutor, High-Profile Wins, in Low-Profile Style
By JULIA PRESTON APRIL 25, 2005
Amid the media frenzy last year when Martha Stewart was convicted of lying about a stock sale, the top federal prosecutor in Manhattan made only a short statement: It said that the homemaking queen had been treated no differently than any other securities defendant. With other big convictions, the prosecutor, David N. Kelley, has said even less, often remaining quietly in his office.
Since becoming the United States attorney for the Southern District of New York, Mr. Kelley has also won guilty verdicts against the Rigas family of Adelphia Communications, the former WorldCom chief Bernard J. Ebbers and the defense lawyer Lynne F. Stewart -- to name only the more celebrated cases.
Some of Mr. Kelley's predecessors have used that kind of success to vault to fame. Rudolph W. Giuliani, when he had the job for six years in the 1980's, never shied from touting his mob prosecutions. Mary Jo White made a name for herself with tough cases against corporate crooks and terrorists.
But Mr. Kelley likes a lower profile, choosing, as he puts it, to "let the verdict speak for itself."
"I'm not a politician," he said in a recent interview. He occasionally holds a news conference to announce a flashy indictment, like the corruption charges he filed this month in the United Nations oil-for-food scandal. But after a trial victory, Mr. Kelley said, it is unseemly to crow.
"We don't want to be seen pounding our chests," he said. "That's the wrong message to send about what we are doing."
Several former prosecutors said that Mr. Kelley's more muted approach was actually shrewd politics. Although he has been the United States attorney since December 2003, he was never nominated by President Bush or ratified by the Senate. He took over temporarily when the former top prosecutor, James B. Comey, went to Washington to become the deputy attorney general. Two months later Mr. Kelley was appointed by John Ashcroft, who was then attorney general, and was left in place to serve an unusually long interim tenure at one of the nation's largest United States attorney's offices, the Justice Department's flagship for securities and terrorism prosecutions.
Mr. Kelley, 45, is drawing attention now because the Bush administration is about to replace him. The White House has let it be known that President Bush plans to nominate Michael J. Garcia, the immigration and customs chief for the Department of Homeland Security, according to Senator Charles E. Schumer, a Democrat of New York, who has been monitoring the process.
According to Mr. Schumer and several justice officials, Mr. Kelley was not tapped to continue in his job because he is a registered Democrat. "The virtually universal view is that he's done an excellent job," Mr. Schumer said. "It is the pattern of this administration that they want someone they are totally familiar with, who is part of the family."
White House officials have not commented on Mr. Garcia's expected nomination, but they have praised his performance running the new and vastly complicated immigration agency.
While Mr. Kelley may be little known on New York streets, he is widely respected in federal law enforcement circles, current and former prosecutors said.
Unlike many ambitious young lawyers in the United States attorney's office, Mr. Kelley did not arrive from an Ivy League law school. He started out in 1984 as a paralegal, while finishing his studies at New York Law School. At the same time he was working weekends as a police officer in East Hampton, the town where he went to high school, near the Long Island home where he grew up.
Mr. Kelley says the time he put in quelling bar brawls and collaring burglars in the Hamptons helped him later in working with federal agents to build cases.
"He has a tremendous ability to work shoulder to shoulder with agents," said Ms. White, who was Mr. Kelley's boss.
"He is good with people, and very good with criminals and terrorists --and I mean that as a compliment," Mr. Comey said. "They know Dave is a guy who can't be played."
Mr. Kelley is among the country's most experienced terrorism prosecutors, part of a counterterror trio that includes Mr. Comey and Patrick J. Fitzgerald, now the United States attorney in Chicago. In 1995 Mr. Kelley and Mr. Fitzgerald became co-chiefs of a unit that Ms. White set up to handle organized crime and terrorism cases. Two years later Mr. Kelley was a prosecutor in the trial of Ramzi Yousef, who was convicted as the mastermind of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
Mr. Kelley assisted the prosecution that foiled a plot by Al Qaeda to bomb millennium celebrations in New York and Seattle. He traveled to Yemen in October 2000 to coax hostile authorities there to allow American agents to investigate the Qaeda bombing of the United States warship Cole.
His cachet was enhanced on Sept. 11, 2001, when he narrowly missed being buried by the collapsing south tower of the World Trade Center. As he and Ms. White recounted in separate interviews, moments after the first airplane struck, Ms. White dispatched Mr. Kelley and Barry W. Mawn, the top F.B.I. official in New York, to the site. Mr. Kelley and Mr. Mawn were setting up a command center and gathering body parts to be tested for DNA, when a battering blast of wind and debris sent Mr. Kelley racing for shelter. He was engulfed in a black bath of "something like Xerox toner," he said, unable to breathe.
Barely avoiding suffocation, Mr. Kelley made his way to a telephone to call Ms. White and report that he thought Mr. Mawn had not survived. Ms. White said she was speaking on another line with Mr. Mawn, who had just told her that Mr. Kelley was dead.
By dawn the next day Mr. Kelley was in Washington, joining the task force that investigated the 9/11 attacks.
Not everyone admires the prosecutions that Mr. Kelley has pursued. Many lawyers accused him of casting a chill on the profession by trying Ms. Stewart, the New York defense lawyer, for her unorthodox defense of a terrorist client. But the jury sided with Mr. Kelley; in February, Ms. Stewart and two co-defendants were convicted on charges of terrorist conspiracy.
The federal prosecutor's office encompasses nearly all of Mr. Kelley's life. He is well known for keeping long hours. His wife of six years, Nicole LaBarbera, is a prosecutor in the same office, where she is deputy chief of the criminal division and also runs community crime control projects. (The staff chart was reorganized so she does not report to Mr. Kelley.)
In one extracurricular activity, Mr. Kelley is a sideline official in New York Jets football games. He has been marking downs at the team's home games for two decades.
Mr. Kelley concedes he is disappointed, although not surprised, that he will not be keeping his job. He is not making plans until he has finished his work in the Manhattan prosecutor's office, presumably when Mr. Garcia has been nominated by the president and ratified by the Senate. But he does not regret that he did not do more to advertise his trial triumphs.
"A conviction is a tragedy," he said, his voice rising in intensity. "It's a personal tragedy for the person convicted, and a greater tragedy for people who are victims of crime. We feel gratified when we do our job well and prevail. But that doesn't mean we're happy. It doesn't mean we should gloat."

Sequential workflows mean that each task needs to be completed before the next task can be done and there is no going back to the start of the workflow.
Parallel workflows mean that some of the tasks can happen at the same time during the process.
By writing down step by step what each process involves in your business, you can gain a top level view of your business. You can make sure the processes are delivering the results you require and you can assess if they need to be changed. These insights will help guide how you improve your processes which in the long run will improve your bottom line – profits.
When you go through your processes you can see where people are doing actions which are repetitive or not needed. By removing these steps, you can streamline your business for better efficiency.
Everyone hates to be micromanaged and this is one of the leading causes of employees being unhappy at work or leaving their jobs. By having workflows in place, you make your employees accountable for their jobs and they don't need to be micromanaged. They have a clear idea of what actions are expected from them, who is responsible for the various actions in the process and when the actions should be completed by.
Often in business there is a miscommunication between employees or departments. When you have a workflow in place the communication improves. Employees have a visible representation of actions that need to take place for the process and who is accountable for each of the actions. This ensures that the day-to-day tasks run more smoothly.
Customer services does not only lie with the interaction between the customer service agent and the customer but it also lies with everyone who works behind the scenes. When you have a workflow, you will actively be able to ensure that each customer receives a similar level of service and attention. This consistency will improve the brand's image.
When you have worked out your workflows for the different processes in your business, you may decide to automate some of them. This will help to eliminate the chance of human error. Furthermore, when you know the steps in a process you can make sure you assign the employee with the right skills for the process. This will improve efficiency and job satisfaction.
When you have workflows, you will be able to reduce the time it takes to teach the new employee about the processes in your business. You can give them a manual with the step-by-step processes. This will save time when you get a new employee.
By implementing workflows into your business, you will ensure that your employees are accountable for their work and you will be able to ensure that your product and service is consistent.

Russia Military Update: Over 2,000 Summer Armed Forces Exercises Planned Amid Tensions With NATO
By Lydia Tomkiw @lydiatomkiw

Russia's armed forces aren't taking a summer break. Over 2,000 drills and exercises are expected to take place starting Wednesday through the end of October, Russia's defense minister said.
"There will be nine exercises within the framework of international military cooperation, including anti-terrorist Peace Mission, Russian-Belarusian Unbreakable Brotherhood and Russian-Mongolian Selenga-2016," said Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu, state news agency Tass reported. "The training period will be intensive."
Shoigu said Russia's largest drill will take place in September in the country's southwest and will include joint drills with Belarus and Mongolia. It was unclear how many members of the armed forces would participate in the exercise.
Russia's Pacific fleet commenced its training period Wednesday and is scheduled to take part in "dozens of large-scale exercises," said Russian Eastern Military District Capt. Roman Martov.
Shoigu said the military drills would incorporate tactical forces, pilots, paratroopers and naval ship crews' recent on-the-ground experience in Syria. Russia began airstrikes in Syria at the end of September, entering the country's five-year civil war.
"The experience of operation of aircraft systems and anti-aircraft missile systems gained during combat in Syria is widely used in the training process," Shoigu said. He added that the exercises were meant to prepare Russia's armed forces and ensure they would be ready against any outside aggression.
The drills come at a moment of increased tensions between Russia and its neighbors, following the Kremlin's annexation of Crimea from Ukraine in March 2014 and the start of a subsequent war in Eastern Ukraine. The NATO political and military alliance is planning to station four battalions in Eastern Europe later this summer and member states have increased their defense spending.
"We don't want a new Cold War," said NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg, speaking in Poland Tuesday. "Our aim is a more positive and a more cooperative relationship with Russia. At the very least, we must work toward a relationship that is more predictable."
Russia views NATO's expansion as encroaching on its sphere of influence. The Kremlin has continued to prioritize military spending, despite an economic downturn spurred by low global oil prices and western sanctions over its actions in Ukraine.

(1) How do people who are obviously abnormal, and have abilities beyond normal human levels – but who aren't exactly superheroes – tend to get along in life?
Socially, that's still being sorted out; the really extreme superhumans, and the associated large numbers of slightly-superhumans, are a relatively new development. Power levels have been steadily increasing for decades, with the result that abilities which would have made you a major superhero during the 1940's and 1950's are no longer especially remarkable.
Secondarily, the dividing line between "normal human" and "superhuman" is is a lot less firm than in most worlds: normal humans have been able to work 10-active point magic throughout history. It's really hard to tell the difference between someone with slightly-superhuman abilities and a normal human with a couple of relevant spells and charms. In general, most mild superhumans are treated like high-end athletes today: there's some respect, some jealousy, mild resentment of them being "different", and fairly casual acceptance. Quite a lot of people are personally acquainted with a decent psychic, or with someone with a supernatural ancestor and some minor powers or enhanced magical talents. Quite a lot of those with such talents try to hide whatever minor abilities they possess, its easier.
(2) How did the – rather draconian – laws about lycanthropes come about?
This is actually fairly straightforward: while normal humans have been able to use magic at the ten to twenty active point level throughout known history, and the upper-end lycanthropic abilities were somewhat suppressed within the rho-field, lycanthropes have been able to use 20-30 active point effects and have possessed augmented strength and endurance, regenerative abilities, inhuman toughness, annoyingly good looks, heightened charisma, and various other enhancements, since they came into being. Until technology started catching up they were some of the deadliest and toughest people on the planet. There were always occasional heroes, and a solid majority of decent types, among them – but the occasional villain, and a natural resentment of their special advantages, led to widespread fear and dislike.
Things started to change with the development of reliable, widely-used, repeating firearms. The Colt Revolver – in 1836 – is as good a spot as any to mark the dividing line. They were popular by 1850, and in widespread use a little later. The first major lycanthrope-control laws become enforceable by 1870, and most of the current laws were in place by 1890. Sadly, quite a few of those laws and rules were founded in the feeling that it was "finally safe to strike back". In popular belief, lycanthropes went from horrific monsters of legend to dangerous threats.
Since the number of animal spirits which have been magically modified to bond with humans is more or less fixed, the increased deathrate among lycanthropes led to a considerable upswing in the numbers of young, confused, and inexperienced lycanthropes – reinforcing the popular image and creating an upswing in incidents that seemed to justify the new laws. Still, lycanthropes are rare enough that there have been few challenges to the law – and the jealousy over their assortment of natural advantages has helped maintain the status quo.

Drivers Are More Likely to be Distracted Around Emergency Vehicles, According to Survey from National Safety Council and Emergency Responder Safety Institute
During Distracted Driving Awareness Month, NSC and ERSI find far too many drivers post to social media and take photos or videos when emergency personnel are responding to an incident
According to a survey released today by the National Safety Council and the Emergency Responder Safety Institute, 71 percent of U.S. drivers take photos or videos when they see an emergency vehicle on the side of the road responding to a fire or a crash, or simply making a routine traffic stop. Sixty percent post to social media, and 66 percent send an email about the situation – all while behind the wheel. Those distracting behaviors are markedly less frequent, but still alarming, during normal driving conditions – 24 percent of drivers surveyed said they take photos or video while driving, 29 percent admitted to using social media and 24 percent said they send email.
Worse still, 16 percent – more than 1 in 10 – said they either have struck or nearly struck a first responder or emergency vehicle stopped on or near the road. In spite of all this, 89 percent of drivers say they believe distracted motorists are a major source of risk to first responders.
NSC is releasing the survey during Distracted Driving Awareness Month, observed every April to raise awareness and educate about the importance of being attentive behind the wheel. Funding for the survey was provided to the Cumberland Valley Volunteer Firemen's Association through the FEMA Fire Prevention and Firefighter Safety Grant Program.
"The cruel irony is, we are putting the people who are trying to improve safety in very unsafe situations," said Nick Smith, interim president and CEO of the National Safety Council. "Our emergency responders deserve the highest levels of protection as they grapple with situations that are not only tactically difficult but also emotionally taxing. Save your communications for off the road; disconnect and just drive."
Thousands die each year in distracted driving crashes, though National Safety Council investigations show these crashes are significantly underreported and undercounted. Emergency responders are particularly vulnerable, because they exit their vehicles and tend to situations on active roadways. In 2013, 37 people died in crashes involving ambulances, fire trucks or police cars, and an additional 17,028 were injured. Since January, 16 emergency responders have been struck and killed by vehicles. Sadly, 49 percent of survey respondents said possibly being struck by a vehicle is "just part of the risk" of being a first responder.
"The Emergency Responder Safety Institute was born 21 years ago following the tragedy of two highway incidents that took the lives of first responders who were struck while helping others," said Greg Yost, President of the Cumberland Valley Volunteer Firemen's Association, parent organization of the Emergency Responder Safety Institute. "Because of distracted driving, we've been focusing our efforts on educating drivers who are often not paying careful enough attention when passing emergency scenes. In 2019, already 16 responders have lost their lives and many others have been injured in these types of crashes," he added.
Other important findings from the poll include:
19 percent of drivers admit their own inattentive driving has probably put first responders at unnecessary risk
Despite being willing to engage in risky behaviors while driving around emergency vehicles, 62 percent say they are "above average" drivers when passing an emergency vehicle with its lights flashing on the side of the road
24 percent do not realize that there are legal requirements for what drivers must do when they see an emergency vehicle on the side of the road
Even though 97 percent say they will see an emergency vehicle if it has its flashing lights on, 74 percent would still like responders to wear reflective clothing
80 percent of drivers say they slow down to get a better look when they see an emergency response vehicle tending to a fire, crash or traffic stop. Doing so backs up traffic and creates other safety hazards.
Encouragingly, 67 percent have heard of "Move Over" laws and 73 percent say they move over when they see an emergency vehicle stopped on the side of the road with its lights on – the proper response on nearly all roadways
"Those that serve the public are exposed to a number of risks, including risks from those that they serve," said I. David Daniels, chair of the NSC Government and Public Sector Division, which initiated the NSC-ERSI partnership. "These two organizations' joint efforts will most certainly help increase safety for public sector workers and reduce communities' costs incurred from vehicle crashes involving public employees."

This Feminist is #Still Sanders
Posted By Mari Jo Buhle On June 10, 2016 @ 1:59 am In articles 2015 | Comments Disabled
Juli Hansen | Shutterstock.com
I write as a feminist, a well-seasoned historian of American women, and a die-hard supporter of Bernie Sanders. Long-time colleagues disparage my loyalty to the Sanders campaign and chastise me, along with him, for not celebrating Hillary Clinton's landmark achievement as the first woman to become the presumptive nominee of a major political party. I'm betraying my feminist principles, they suggest. Moreover, I'm denying the historical significance of Clinton's victory, they pointedly add. Against this tide, I'm holding fast to my principles on both accounts. Both feminism and the historical moment weigh heavily in my decision.
If anything, the entire primary political campaign, on both the Republican and Democratic sides, drives home the message that the United States is at a tipping point. So much more is obviously at stake than electing the first woman as president. No one would deny that it is within the purview of feminism to consider issues such as gun violence, free trade, foreign intervention, environmentalism, and, of course, inequality. Some might say, it is imperative for feminists to address these issues before cheering the shattering of the glass ceiling for a privileged few. I readily acknowledge that the division and rancor begin here.
Writing as a historian, I underscore the importance of historical precedents for this antagonism. Two major, equally crucial moments come to mind.
The first occurred shortly after the Civil War. By 1866, the woman's rights movement that began at Seneca Falls in 1848 came back to life. For the duration of the war, activists had put aside their own demands to help secure the abolition of slavery, and they now began to regroup to push for the right to vote. Optimism prevailed. "Now in the reconstruction is the opportunity, perhaps for the century," Elizabeth Cady Stanton announced, "to base our government on the broad principle of equal rights to all." However, Congress instead proposed the Reconstruction Amendments, extending the rights of citizenship specifically to black men and intentionally stopping short of including women.
In grappling with this situation, the women's movement divided. One side, led by Susan B. Anthony and Stanton, went so far as to intervene in the state referendum campaign in Kansas, imploring voters to place the "Woman first, and the Negro last." Meanwhile, other long-time activists organized alongside the African American abolitionist Frederick Douglas under the banner "The Negro's Hour." As one leader said, "I am willing that the negro shall get [the ballot] before me."
By 1869, two rival suffrage organizations had formed. The National Woman Suffrage Association, led by Stanton and Anthony introduced itself by speaking against the
Reconstruction Amendments and pushing a 16th Amendment to the Constitution that would grant women the right to vote. The American Woman Suffrage Association pledged its support to the ratification of the Reconstruction Amendments, despite the limitations on gender. And rather than joining Stanton and Anthony in demanding a new amendment to the Constitution, this group decided to work locally, in city and state arenas to secure the ballot as well as economic, legal, and educational rights for women.
The complexity of this situation defies easy summary, but one can imagine the charges and counter-charges. How can you allow Congress and the states to introduce "sex" to stipulate the rights of citizenship? How can you forsake decades of struggle for black emancipation by refusing to acknowledge the urgency of the Reconstruction Amendments? There is, of course, no easy answer to these questions. Yet, it's hard not to take sides. Historians may profess objectivity in narration, but they do a disservice by effecting neutrality in interpretation. I admit here: I have always admired above all the allies of Frederick Douglas.
Another example illustrates a split among women activists during a second pivotal moment in U.S. history. During World War I, one of the most popular songs in 1915 was "I Didn't Raise My Boy to Be a Soldier," a sentiment that took political form as a woman's peace movement. In that same year, Hull-House founder Jane Addams spearheaded the Woman's Peace Party. She also recruited delegates to an international conference at The Hague that resulted in the formation of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom. These organizations implored Wilson and Congress to keep the United States out of the European war and instead to press for international negotiations for peace. Meanwhile, the major woman suffrage organization took a different tack. Mainstream suffragists pledged themselves to "patriotic motherhood" and mobilized to prepare for war. In 1917, after the U.S. these suffragists supported the war effort. President Wilson, presumably impressed by legions of bandage-rolling suffragists, belatedly endorsed the women's ballot.
Another "which side are you on" situation, greatly simplified here. As activists in the 1910s disagreed sharply on their priorities, historians have recorded differences among themselves with decided empathy. I admit here: I have always stood with the peace activists who refused to support this brutal, imperialist war.
How do these examples prepare us to assess the antagonisms sparked by Sanders' persistence and the hollowness that many of us attach to the Clinton victory? Collective memory is undoubtedly too dim to make much sense of the historically distant and mostly forgotten disagreements I've sketched here. Nevertheless, in their day, what we now term "feminist" politics pivoted on the issues these examples illustrate. In my mind, we are at a similar point in political life, one demanding not easy or even expedient solutions but responses grounded in conscience. There is every reason to hold firm to our positions as Jane Addams did in her opposition to war.
I therefore see no reason to abandon my political principles amid the celebration of Hillary Clinton. I can appreciate, although I certainly do not share, the satisfaction that many, especially older women gain in finally seeing a woman compete for the presidency. However, to me, Hillary Clinton epitomizes neo-liberalism (a despised and undoubtedly overused term). As she admitted, Sanders failed to persuade her to modify her positions to the Left, as many Democrats naively contend; to the contrary, she found in his campaign only "passion," never alternative policy. I worry therefore that we are about to witness the revival of policies that many of us suspected Clinton muted merely for the primary campaign: Cutting social security, promoting the TPP and fracking world-wide, edging toward privatization of social services, securing the place of Big Pharma and insurance companies in the ACA. Finally, but not least, and equally if not more worrisome, is her claim to experience derived from her position as Secretary of State: regime change and intervention. My aversion to her politics, whatever feminist kernel might remain, makes me hope #NeverHillary remains the watchword of the strongest of my own long-time allies.
I confess I have been "Bernie or Bust" from the beginning and now participate in the write-in campaign in Wisconsin. The Sanders movement for a political revolution revived an important element in my personal political history. Women's Liberation in the late 1960s made me pursue the history of American women and feminist politics, but I came to this perspective from an equally vital historical interest in Debsian socialism. Like the women of my generation who never believed they could see a woman elected president, I thought the same about the prospects for a socialist in the White House. Sanders's overwhelming dedication to equality and social welfare and social justice mirrored my admiration of Eugene V. Debs, who, like Sanders, demonstrated that integrity could thrive in the otherwise dirty realm of politics. For me, the Sanders campaign represents the ideals grounded in a much earlier political moment coming to fruition. I cannot, in good conscience, toss them aside for a candidate whose politics is anathema to me.
My feelings along these lines have been punctuated by a recent stay in Copenhagen, a beautiful, sane city dominated by bicycles and pure water –water so clean that kids swim safe from pollution alongside the ships in the harbor. Where 75 percent of all food consumed in the city is organic. Where the fossil-free energy is set for 2020 by the latest, The rest, including women's participation in government and labor, is well known. But experiencing it for even a few days reinforces my belief that a single woman in higher office (think of Margaret Thatcher; I am) pales before the vision of a social democracy that brings a higher standard of life to so many.
Mari Jo Buhle is a historian retired from Brown University and has written widely on the history of socialism and the history of feminism.

China bans videos on cryptocurrencies and criticism of socialism
the government of china prohibited users of video platforms post content that promotes cryptocurrency trading and mining. Restrictions apply to short video services such as Douyin (analogous to TikTok).
The government said the new measure would "improve the quality of information" and "protect the stability of the socialist system".
In addition to not talking about cryptocurrencies, users of video platforms can no longer speak ill of socialist ideology either.
"The rules are formulated in accordance with relevant national laws and regulations. They are designed to improve the quality of video content, limit the spread of false and malicious information and create a clean cyberspace.", says the statement.
Users of video platforms are also prohibited from posting content that discredits the "ideology and principles of socialism", insulting the ruling party or the country as a whole, negatively affecting the government's image.
The text says that users cannot post videos with content that speaks ill or denies Chinese socialism.
"Attack, deny or speak ill of the ideology and guidelines of Chinese socialism; To ridicule, satirize, oppose and despise Marxism; Attack or deny Chinese socialism."
This is the Chinese government's latest offensive against cryptocurrencies, which has banned trading in the country's assets and blocked access to cryptocurrency news sites.

Had he not seized power – and Judith Kerr's pink rabbit into the bargain – things might have been very different. With her father a prominent and distinguished German essayist, poet and theatre critic (but Jewish, and with a marked aversion to the National Socialists), who knows what his daughter might have become? The leading light perhaps in some artistic Jugendbewegung of the 30s and 40s when books would not have been burned in the streets nor artists vilified for a presumed degeneracy?
was what actually occurred. Warned to flee Berlin just as the Führer wangled his election as Chancellor, the young Judith and her family made their way to Zürich, to Paris, and eventually to London (where he then tried to drop bombs on them). Instead of a life lived within predictable norms, there were daily struggles: with prejudice, with tackling one new language after another, with unaccustomed poverty, and with continuous worry over an unpredictable future.
in Judith Kerr's lightly fictionalized essays in recollection: When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit (1971) and The Other Way Round (1975) which themselves now have classic status on the increasingly crowded shelves of WW2 literature for the young. The refugee daughter had early been impressed with an idea that you need 'a difficult childhood' in order to become famous, or even fulfilled, so that she was inclined to see her tribulations as intriguing rather than harrowing. But as she grows up the persistence of everyday difficulties serves to obscure any clear path towards the desired end. For the first readers of Pink Rabbit however the outcome was already known, since the little Anna of the story had belatedly emerged as a figure to be reckoned with in the unlikely medium of children's picture books.
Judith Kerr had charmed her audience with the cheerful absurdity of a diversion that she had invented for her own children: The Tiger Who Came to Tea. Its plot was of the simplest, consisting mostly of the tiger's ravenous progress through Sophie's household after he'd invited himself in for afternoon tea. Not so much as a baked bean was left for Daddy's supper when he got home nor yet water in the tap, so the only recourse to a happy ending was sausage and chips and ice-cream in a café down the street.
of Judith Kerr's later work were present here: brisk writing matched in to simple foregrounded drawings for whose colouring 'gay' is unavoidably the happiest term. A grub-scoffing tiger however does not offer much scope for further narrative development and the craft that Kerr had so successfully deployed in his interest was now directed to the more fruitful adventures of a feline successor: Mog the Forgetful Cat.
that are rung on her progress through the hazards of family life are of much the same order, whether in picture stories or incorporated into the alphabetic extravaganza of Mog's Amazing Birthday Caper or the board-book presentation of Mog's Family, where we meet fourteen moglets from four generations. Kerr's texts – more ingenious than they appear, especially when they enter into Mog's elementary thought-processes – as well as her drawings retain an unpretentious simplicity, not the least remarkable feature being her portrayal of Mog's eyes. The two or three pen-strokes involved in this tiny element of the picture give rise to a range of expressions: pride... apprehension... astonishment... woe... that are among the chief delights of the books.
escaping the wheels of motor-cars, crashing through the tops of marquees, Mog eventually uses up her nine lives and in Goodbye Mog we meet her as a beneficent ghost supervising the arrival of a new kitten in the Thomas household. ('I knew they couldn't manage without me.') It's a pretty thing, gingery-yellow with green eyes, but, with Mog in charge, who's to say that it won't turn out to be a tiger?
Addendum While this article was being prepared, an announcement was made that Judith Kerr has generously made over her complete archive to Seven Stories, the Centre for Children's Books, on long-term loan.
The illustrations are taken from the HarperCollins edition of Mog the Forgetful Cat by Judith Kerr (978 0 00 717134 7, £5.99 pbk).

The Lesslie Family of Dundas
Lesslie Family Record
The Lesslie Family in Dundas
Dundas, Ontario in 1869.
Welcome to the Lesslie Family of Dundas. The original diaries, correspondence, and other writings, donated to the Museum in the 1950s, form two fonds (a group of records created and maintained by an individual, family, organization, or business) in the Dundas Museum and Archives: the Lesslie family fonds and the James Lesslie fonds. This sites is an attempt to provide access to these fascinating documents to those unable to visit the Museum in person to do so. We hope that using new tools to present old documents will make archives, and the material they hold, interesting to new audiences.
The site has been organized into categories. Each category is a member of the Lesslie family. Within the category might be material written by the individual, or sent to them. Annotations have been made in italics when necessary to clarify language or the identity of people mentioned. We have transcribed as faithfully as possible. This project is ongoing and evolving so please return from time to time to see any changes.
For further information about these archival records please visit the Dundas Museum and Archives.

Michigan Department of Health and Human Services Director Nick Lyon will stand trial in a case tied to the Flint Water Crisis.
A judge bound Lyon over on two counts of involuntary manslaughter and one count of misconduct in office.
Judge David Goggins found probable cause that Lyon failed to perform his duties to protect the public and that he failed to notify the public in a timely basis.
According to Office of Special Counsel's investigator's report for Lyon, Lyon became aware of the Legionnaires' Disease outbreak on Jan. 28, 2015, but didn't inform the public until nearly a year later.
"Mr. Lyon failed in his responsibilities to protect the health and safety of the citizens of Flint," Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette said at a press conference announcing the charges in June 2017.
The report states that Lyon met with Shawn McElmurry, an associate professor of civil engineering at Wayne State University, in the summer of 2016.
McElmurry was hired in January 2016 to put together the Flint Area Community and Environmental Partnership to research whether Flint's switch to the river water caused the Legionnaire's outbreak.
The meeting in the summer included McElmurry, Lyon, Dr. Paul Kilgore and Gov. Snyder's senior advisor. It was about the increased surveillance of the Legionnaires' Disease outbreak since they hadn't figured out the source of the outbreak.
According to the investigator's report, Lyon said they couldn't afford more surveillance. After Kilgore told Lyon that decision could cause more people to die, Lyon allegedly responded that he "couldn't save everyone," and "they have to die of something," the report said.

Вагіна́льний (проникаючий) секс (), коїтус (), також пенісо-вагінальний секс, пенетративна практика — сексуальна практика введення у вагіну пеніса або секс-іграшок з метою задоволення чи розмноження. При потраплянні сперми або навіть передеякуляту у вагіну можливе запліднення. Таким чином вагінальний секс за участі пеніса виконує репродуктивну функцію (див. Контрацепція). Інфекції, що передаються статевим шляхом, передаються незалежно від еякуляції, тривалості акту та статі людей, що беруть участь у сексі (див. Безпечний секс).

Використання фалопротезу (у випадку проблем з потенцією або ампутації пеніса), фалоімітатора, вібратора, страпона чи інших секс-іграшок (в рамках лесбійської сексуальної практики, мастурбації, кіберсексу) також розглядається як вагінальний секс.

Безпека

 При вагінальному сексі найімовірніша (порівняно з іншими формами контакту) передача ХПСШ, зокрема, ВІЛ, сифілісу, гонореї, гепатитів, хламідіозу, уреаплазмозу. Вагінальний секс будь-якої тривалості і формату має бути захищеним.
 Вагінальний секс — природній та найрозповсюдженіший спосіб запліднення для людського розмноження, оскільки (якщо гамети здорові) еякуляція у вагіну за наявності зрілої яйцеклітини у репродуктивному тракті партнерки та за відсутності контрацептивних заходів прямо спричинює вагітність. Вагінальному сексу без контрацептивів (основним з яких є презерватив) має передувати раціональне планування сім'ї.
 Вагінальний секс без згоди партнерки є найпоширенішою формою зґвалтування; вагінальне проникнення (а також терор проникнення у культурі зґвалтування) посідає чільне місце у насильстві проти жінок.
 З першим вагінальним проникненням (дефлорацією) пов'язані сакралізація та ритуалізація концепту цноти (див. Вагінальна корона) та тяглі міжкультурні традиції шлюбного сексуального насильства.

Механіка та оргазм
Вагінальний секс супроводжується фрикціями (зворотно-поступальним рухом пеніса, фалоімітатора чи вібратора у вагіні) завдяки тазовим рухам одного(-ієї) чи обох партнерів(-ок).

Стимуляція пеніса досягається за рахунок скорочення вагінальних м'язів; стимуляція вагіни — тиском пеніса чи його замінника на багаті нервовими закінчення тіло та ніжки клітора і частково його голівку.

Взаємна і одночасна стимуляція геніталій (при класичному гетеросексуальному проникненні) за однакового рівня збудження приводить партнерів(-ок) до оргазму. Під час оргазму чоловік еякулює.

Оргазм при вагінальному сексі
За статистикою, чоловіки зазвичай легше за жінок досягають оргазму при проникаючому сексі. Серед причин цього:

 Недостатнє сексуальне збудження жінки. Через культуру зґвалтування та поширену в ній фіксацію на чоловічому задоволенні, тривалі традиції ігнорування жіночої згоди на секс та табуювання жіночої сексуальності, а також те, що жіноче збудження менш помітне за чоловіче, сексуальній прелюдії (завдяки якій жінка має змогу увійти в вагінальний контакт згідно з фізіологічним циклом сексуальних реакцій людини), часто приділяється замало часу. Через це партнерка витрачає час безпосереднього контакту на досягнення оптимального збудження, якого партнер досяг до початку фрикцій, і, відповідно, знаходиться у фазі «плато», коли чоловік досягає фази оргазму. Ознаки достатнього збудження жінки (готовності до сексуальної взаємодії) гомологічні такому у чоловіка: ерекція та зволоження геніталій (ерегований клітор є анатомічним гомологом пеніса, а вагінальна секреція аналогічна виділенню смегми).
 Відсутнє або недостатнє збудження партнерки через випадки нонконкордантності (невідповідність реального збудження реакції геніталій: наприклад, ерекція клітора та виділення вагінальної лубрикації при відсутності сексуального збудження).
 Недостатня стимуляція клітора через анатомічні особливості жінки (завелику відстань між уретрою та голівкою клітора).
 Відсутність стимуляції прямої голівки клітора (70-80 % жінок досягають оргазму з залученням стимуляції клітора).
 Брак стимуляції ерогенних зон, бідність сексуальних практик та поз (обмеження сексуальної взаємодії лише генітальним контактом).
 Вплив суспільних обмежень щодо жіночої сексуальності (таких як табуювання жіночої сексуальності, завищені вимоги до жіночого тіла (фетшеймінг, культ молодості), порностандарти, менструальні табу), внаслідок яких тривожність жінки щодо «належного» вигляду та поведінки блокує спонтанність її сексуального імпульсу.
 Брак комунікації про заходи безпеки, контрацепцію (а тим паче відсутність контрацептивів), плановані сексуальні практики, та спричинене ними психологічне напруження (страхи вагітності, сексуального насильства, ситуації нерівності та домагань, відсутність змоги дати повноцінну згоду).

Якісному і своєчасному жіночому оргазму сприяє повноцінна прелюдія, урізноманітнення форм сексуальної активності (наприклад, кунілінгус і мастурбація, пряма стимуляція голівки клітора) та чітка комунікація сексуальної активності (отримання недвозначної згоди на секс, обговорення бажаних та небажаних сексуальних практик укріплює атмосферу безпеки — базис розвитку та реалізації сексуального збудження).

If the dishes and the faucets in your household are stained with salt, then it indicates that you should think of installing a water softener. Here is more information on it.
The water is classified as hard or soft, depending upon the number of minerals and their amount present in it. If the water contains ions of minerals such as calcium, magnesium, iron, etc., then it is termed as hard water. The hard water can cause blockages of pipes, by depositing lime scales in them.
The chemical properties of hard water prevent easy dissolution of soap and detergents, which leads to wastage of money. Water softening devices, also referred to as ion exchangers soften hard water by replacing the calcium and magnesium ions in it with sodium or potassium ions during ionization. You may prefer to install an electromagnetic water softener.
The first step is to identify the place where you can install the unit in your house.
Next, locate the spot, where the main water pipe enters your house.
You may want to connect the water softener to this pipe and treat whatever amount of water enters your house.
On the other hand, you may want to treat only a part of the total amount of water supply and use the untreated water which is free of sodium as drinking water. This will make it necessary for you to connect the water softener to a pipe branching off the main water pipe.
The softening process generates waste materials, which should be flushed out. This demands that you install the water softener, near a drain or a pipe leading to waste tank or a septic tank.
It needs electricity for its functioning. Install an electrical outlet, if the place you have selected for the installation does not have one.
The next step in the process is to install the bypass valve. This is required if you are going to connect water softener to the main water pipe. It will help maintain the undisturbed water supply to your house.
Follow the instructions in the user's manual to attach the bypass valve to the controlling valve or the head of the water softener. Make sure that the in and the out arrows on both the valves point in the same direction.
Connect the pipes to the bypass valve with the rubber O-rings acting as washers, between the connections.
Attach plastic tubes to the overflow tank outlet and to the water softener's outlet for draining the wastes. Let their free ends empty in the drain or the waste tank.
Turn the water supply on, and test the unit and its accessories.
If the system is not working properly, check the user manual for the instructions or call the customer care and get some advice.
If water softener installation is carried out with the help of a professional, then it will cause you an additional expenditure. If you are using lead piping, it is advisable that you change them. When soft water flows through them, it may absorb the lead which may cause lead poisoning.
Every household needs soft water for the purpose of bathing and washing cloths. If your house is supplied with hard water, then it may damage your shower water filters, laundry machine and water heater and/or reduce the life of piping in your house.
It may also adversely affect any setup that is running on solar power, by clogging its pipes. Install a water softener to avoid these problems. Do not forget to switch off the electrical power and water supply before actually starting the work.


Is there a way to hide or silence certain updates for specific components? I like seeing that there are updates available but there are certain modules that I do not care about. For instance UASMaster. I would like to be able to hide or silence this from the Notifications window on the Start Page.
It was probably some other piece of software but it seems that in v2.x or v3.x one could right click on the update and remove/hide it from the list. I know that was how Windows 7 updates worked.
Also once upon a time I was told to install all the updates because of how it all linked together. Then the UASMaster was added and eventually I was told I didn't need to install these. Now they just keep populating Check for Updates and I keep ignoring them. So while I support having the option to not see some update items my concern would be it possibly failing and hiding items I want to see.
Same here, Pat. I've installed UAS master on my system with absolutely no intent of ever using it just to not get the update notification every time. Not a big deal, but its nice not to have extraneous stuff (starting to feel like Samsung TouchWiz).

The  are a number of early Sengoku period fortifications located in what is now part of the city of Kikugawa, Shizuoka, Japan. These sites were collectively designed a National Historic Site  in 2004. The  designation consists of the Takada Yashiki ruins (高田大屋敷遺跡) and Yokoji Fortified Residence ruins (横地氏城館跡).

Overview
The Takeda Yashiki ruins are located near the junction of Kikugawa and Kamikosu rivers, about 11 meters above sea level, and were a key point in controlling traffic, especially the salt trade, from the Pacific coast to Shinano Province. The site was  excavated in 1988 and found to measure approximately 70 meters from east-to-west and about 93 meters north-to-south, and to consist of a fortified square residence building surrounded by moats and a dike as protection against floods.

The Yokoji fortified residence ruins are located about three kilometers east of the Takada Yashiki ruins at the southwest end of the Makinohara plateau along the Kikugawa River. The site was excavated in 1987 and was found to contain the remains of a number of fortified residences, temples, a mountain castle and grave sites from the late 12th to 15th centuries, extending about two kilometers east-to-west and about 0.6 kilometers north-to-south. The Yokoji clan were a cadet branch of the Minamoto clan who claimed descent from Minamoto no Yoshiie. The Yokoji were one of leading samurai clans in this area of Tōtōmi Province, and are mentioned in Kamakura period Azuma Kagami as gokenin of the shogunate. During the Muromachi period, they were direct retainers of the Ashikaga shogunate and prospered greatly due to their geographic location controlling traffic along the coast and also towards Shinano Province.  Towards the start of the Sengoku period, the Yokoji clan came into conflict with the neighboring Imagawa clan of Suruga Province to the east. Imagawa Yoshitada invaded Tōtōmi in 1476, capturing and destroying Yokoji Castle after a seven-day siege. However, on his return to Suruga, his retinue was ambushed by surviving retainers of the Yokoji clan, and he died from an arrow wound before he could reach his home province.

Yokoji Castle spreads over a peninsula between the Ushibuchi River and the Oku-Yokoji River, and is connected to the Makinohara Heights by narrow bottleneck. The eastern section of the castle is roughly divided into three main enclosures, protected to a certain extent by the natural cliffs and ravines, but also by occasional dry moats and clay walls. The western section of the castle contains the main bailey, which measures 40 by 20 meters. It is also protected by dry moats and by several small surrounding enclosures. Outside the main castle, south of the western section of the castle, was a separate enclosure measuring 100 by 40 meters called the Senjo-jiki. This appears to have been a mustering location for the defenders. To the east of this enclosure was another small fortification, the Naka-no-shiro, which served to guard the eastern section of the castle.

The Imagawa clan consolidated their control of Tōtōmi Province by 1500 under Imagawa Ujichika, despite occasional attempted by survivors of the Yokoji clan to regain power. After the Imagawa constructed Kakegawa Castle, the site was allowed to fall into ruin. At present, no buildings remain, but the outlines of the various enclosures can still be seen on the castle hill, and are reflected by local place names on maps. The castle site is 15-minutes by car from the Tōmei Expressway Kikugawa interchange.

The cuisine of South Africa; a feast of uniqueness
12th January 2017 tagged history, South African cuisine, traditions
Facebook Twitter Other Social Sites Google Plus LinkedIn StumbleUpon Delicious Reddit Digg
The cuisine of South Africa; a feast of uniqueness – this is how culinary lovers describe what the country has to offer in terms of food. It is easy to find yourself overwhelmed with flavours from around the world mixed with the country's indigenous cuisine. Few people realise just how much South African culinary heritage has been influenced by 'Khoi' and 'San' people. It is because of the common understanding that varied menus are hard to sustain in the desert. However, the truth is a bit different.
'San' people constantly searched the 'veld' (field) for herbs and nuts and berries. Edible roots and leaves also featured on their daily diet. 'San' men were skilful hunters who provided antelope, bird and small animal meat for their families on regular basis.
Seafood was 'Khoi' people's speciality. Some of them, known as 'Strandlopers' lived by the ocean and dined on crayfish, seaweed, seals and penguins. At some point in history, they embarked on a nomadic type of livestock farming, starting with sheep and moving to cattle later on.
The legend has it that a long time ago 'Khoi' people came up with crisply fried sheep-tail fat called "kaiings" (cracklings). Today "kaiings" still bring enjoyment to those who appreciate them.
Indigenous people's herb knowledge was borrowed by the early settlers and migrant farmers. They quickly started adding herbs into their Potjies, jams and salads.
In 1652 a Dutch company established a refreshment station and a vegetable garden in the Cape. It supplied crews of the passing ships with healthy, fresh food.
The Malay slaves also left their culinary trademark on the Cape. The aromatic spices they used soon captured the hearts of the European settlers. Many Malaysian and Indonesian women showed skill and imagination in adapting their original recipes to the South African food reality.
Ever wondered where the Droewors tradition comes from? It was brought in by the Germans who introduced their 'wurst' to South Africa. The great wine tradition, the country is so proud of today, has was started by the French Huguenots in 1689. They brought a collection of vines to start up vineyards.
Puddings, pies and roasts were the English contributions to the South African cuisine. The chilli taste of today's peri-peri dishes comes from Portugal. Portuguese never made an attempt to colonise the country, but the taste they presented it with has become a significant part of South Africa food heritage.
The South African cuisine also owes a huge debt of gratitude to Bantu people. They championed protein-enriched food by introducing grilled, cooked or fried Mopani caterpillars, locusts and termites. And what they once considered a usual meal is now regarded as a delicacy.
The South African cuisine is famous for its uniqueness and variety. It is heavily influenced by the nomadic roots of the people of all ethnic groups who inhabit the country. Pot food, braai and the much-loved biltong are the meals thought to represent the nomadic nature of South African food culture at its best.


The American Kennel Club (AKC) recognizes over 150 different breeds of dog, and there are dozens more that do not make the list. Each and every breed is unique from the others not only in appearance and personality, but also in their biological make-up. If you want to provide your dog with optimal nutrition, you should select a diet that caters to his specific needs.
Though dogs are often described as carnivores since a significant portion of their diet comes from meat-based sources they are actually omnivores. While protein is incredibly important for a dog's health and nutrition, other nutrients including fats and carbohydrate are necessary as well. If you take a stroll down the dog food aisle at your local pet store, you are bound to find dozens of different options – so how do you choose? The only way to choose a healthy food for your dog is to understand the basics of dog nutrition and to find a food that provides for your dog's needs.
The most important nutrient your dog needs is water – water actually accounts for up to 70% of your dog's total weight. In addition to providing your dog with fresh, clean water at all times you should also make sure that your dog's food has a decent water content. The next most important nutrient is protein – this should compose between 15% and 30% of your adult dog's food (22% to 32% for puppies). Protein is essential for maintaining your dog's bones and muscles – it also provides him with energy. Next on the list is fat – your dog's food should contain between 10% and 20% fat from healthy sources like fish and fish oil. Finally, your dog needs some carbohydrate from vegetables to provide fiber as well as essential vitamins and minerals.
If you have researched the nutritional needs of your specific breed, you may have come across certain breed-specific dog food formulas. Dog food manufacturers like Eukanuba and Royal Canin have begun to market these products for owners of specific breeds to make their choice easier. The main benefit of a breed-specific food is that it is formulated to provide for the nutritional needs of your specific dog. Highly active breeds like Siberian Huskies and German Shepherds may require a higher fat content for energy than other breeds and some dogs do better with hypoallergenic formulas due to food allergies. While you don't necessarily have to purchase a breed-specific formula for your dog, it is definitely an option to consider.
When it comes to your dog's food, the choice is up to you. With all of the options available, it can be difficult to decipher whether one brand is truly better than another. If you have absolutely no idea where to start, you may want to consider a breed specific dog food for your pet. In this section you will find a collection of articles to provide you with information about selecting a breed-specific food for your dog, should you choose to do so.

Sewing Lilou and a trip to the theatre.
My initial sewing adventure aim was to be able to make a dress I was proud to wear in front of people! I had absolutely no idea at the start if the year that I would do this by May!
I've been searching Instagram and blogs for a suitable pattern, the material I bought back in January and planned to use it for a Megan dress. However, the more I looked at people's makes I had my heart set on a lined bodice and a more fitted dress.
I started to make the New Look 6262 view A, but the toile bodice just would not fit right and I couldn't get my head around lining it.
After a bit of a sulk I sat reading my Tilly and the Buttons Love at first Stitch book and realised Lilou was the dress for me! It's amazing how my confidence has progressed as initially I was far too scared to even consider Lilou and that's why I hadn't clicked it had a lined bodice!
I went for a bright yellow lining to go with my butterfly fabric, very bold for me as I don't do colour usually. The yellow was a bit too small so I jiggled it so the missing bit would fall in a dart! I had to add 2 inches in length to the bodice which was why I was short of fabric.
I've currently taken over the conservatory as my sewing space and I was making this dress during a massive thunder storm. I was so engrossed in it, it was only after I wondered how safe that was?
I was proud at the point I had the bodice all attached! I loved the colours and it felt so much nicer than anything I would buy! I made the Clémence skirt option with French seams which make so much difference to a garment!
The only crisis I had was with the zip, instead of using Tillys instructions I watched a you tube tutorial which wasn't that good and I placed it a bit too low…not massively bad but enough to annoy me!
The part which slowed me down was all the hand sewing! I've hand sewn the bodice and hand sewn all the hem. I looks fab doing this, but I am messy and must try harder next time.
There were storms and rain as we arrived so unfortunately I didnt get all the pretty outdoor photos i had hoped for, luckily I took one inside before we went!
Very exciting make and will definitely be making another Lilou soon, would like to go back to the New Look 6262 first and see if I can conquer that!
I have to confess over the weekend I made a 3rd New look 6532 pattern! Remember the Margot PJ trousers I started in January? Well, I never did finish them as they were a little (ok lot) tight and I had a big sulk over it. However, thanks to my new healthy eating and the little bit of running I've been doing they now fit! So pleased with myself that I celebrated by making a top as I had fabric left and really wouldn't use it for anything else.
I just sewed the back pieces together and did away with the button fastening as I thought that would be uncomfortable in pyjamas.
I'm so happy with the results as you can probably see from this awful photo!!
I really do need to step away from that pattern and make something else, but as the pattern is traced and so quick to make it's going to be tough! I'm keen to make a poppy Play suit and need a dress for a night out in a few weeks time so plenty to keep me busy.
