My lovely cousin and family are visiting this week from France on a grand tour of the UK, and it's filled me with nostalgia for our French holiday two years ago. We're starting to think about where to go on holiday ourselves this summer, very last minute, but we have been too busy enjoying life in our new home to plan that far in advance, not that we ever do plan that far in advance if I am honest. I like to go wherever my head feels it needs to go. I had my heart set on Wales again this summer, as always, it's my place to go and have a digital detox, and completely disappear, but then Mr A started looking at places in France and I remembered all the reasons I love France.
I will warn you now though, they are largely foodie.
Oh France, the mythical land I learnt about in school through the medium of role play. I always feel as if I have been preparing to arrive/dip my croissants in chocolat chaud/buy a return train ticket/order vin rouge/divulge I have a brother/report mal a la tete, find la gare, for a very long time. It was also the first holiday abroad I remember going on with both family and school.
Ah the joy of watching the white cliffs of Dover slip away at the stern and of breaking the journey to step on a huge floating cafe/entertainment centre/shop for an hour, the perfect time to be at sea, until the French coast appears at the bow.
Oh the joy of French ice cream flavours. Oh the fear of being made to order it in French, but the satisfaction of pistachio ice cream dribbling down your chin as you bask in that rite of passage of finally being understood in another language. Aw the satisfaction of inflicting this rite on your own kids.
Oh the feeling of dewy grass as you pad across the campsite or village to the boulangerie. Ah the smell of fresh baguette, the cheeky bit you steal on the walk back and the pastries and croissants you promise are just a first day treat, but become an every day holiday indulgence. Oh the long lazy breakfasts, and the dunking your croissant in chocolate chaud, because your French teacher told you that's what French people do. Aw the cake shops, with names for cakes that are as naughty as the cakes themselves.
Oh for cheese, Brie, Camembert, all the other ones whose names I can't remember.
Oh for the wine, that doesn't break the bank and rarely disappoints like so many bottles in the UK.
Oh France, you do make me slow down. Simple pleasures, beautiful countryside, stunning beaches and things done properly. Like the aperitifs, gently pressed into my hand by my cousin when we visited, as we slowly wound down into meal times.
Have you been to France as a family? What do you remember most?
For an easy family trip from the UK looking at family-friendly villas, Brittany could be a good option. I've got my eye on a Quality Villas place called Breton Manor, near Audierne. Breton is very close to my maiden name, so obviously I am curious! Set on a 15th century estate, this superb period cottage forms part of one of the most important Grand Manor Houses in France, with documented history dating back to 1344. You share the communal swimming pool which is gorgeously rural, yet it is within walking distance of the sandy beach at St Tugen.
It looks a lot like everything I love about Wales, but with more chance of sunshine!
Thanks to Quality Villas for collaborating on this post.

We adore France too! I'm sad not to be heading there this summer. First time in ages that we haven't popped across at least once.
Ah I wish I could pop across!

The Last Remembered Intersection by Robert Glick
Grace laid out the ultrasounds of the miscarriage over her legs. Three stills, captured at intervals, crooked on their tulip bedspread. The TV tuned to whatever.
"See?" Grace said to Chuck.
Their daughter Jess, only 14, had driven her to the hospital. It had happened too quickly to call Chuck, who had been working late, hunched over his magnifying glass, rhodium-plating some heirloom necklace.
"Yeah," he said. No change in angle from photo to photo, no shift in pixels from what would have become a foot.
The undeveloped beauty of tiny arches and soles and heels.
"We knew it was possible, probable," she said. "We did."
They hadn't planned this non-entity that their older son Russell had called Sprocket. When she had read the stick, Grace had smiled, yes, and she had hugged Chuck, softly digging her nails into the nape of his neck, yet she talked mostly about the somewhat overstated dangers of a "high risk" pregnancy-she was 39-and the energy required to dispel blowouts and spit rags, to run a hamper full of clean onesies up the stairs.
"This time I'm having a C-section," she had said. "Extract it, no fuss."
She hadn't jumped from couch to couch, as he had.
Now he touched where its heart would have grown. To restart, to listen, as if his finger had become the flat, circular surface of a stethoscope.
"I wanted it so much," he said.
Grace pulled a tissue from the pocket of the neon-green husband pillow and gave it to Chuck, who blew his nose, let the tissue fall to the floor. She popped two Vicodin. Chuck hated taking pills, couldn't swallow them without water. It always made the kids laugh, watching him tilt his head back like a Pez dispenser.
"And we're off," she said, closing her eyes, "into that wilderness feeling, where everything's blanketed in snow."
He leaned against Grace until her breath drew out, got regular. He had never been so tired, and still too tired to sleep, and the tears running down his gritty whiskers.
That day, so long ago, when Russell ran a Matchbox dragster up the side of Chuck's face, after he had told his kids to imagine his whiskers as a row of tire spikes protecting a parking garage.
It surprised him, that he cried at all. He hadn't even cried after his father died of a heart attack, a widowmaker, at a Rockies game, a scorching doubleheader in the exposed bleachers. How helpless he felt, and ridiculous, sweeping the peanut shells from his father's lap before trying to resuscitate him.
The infomercials, the captioned hawking of pseudo-rubies and battery-powered airblowers, fulfilled the singular purpose Chuck had assigned to them. They flickered light to keep their bedroom from melting, from coating them with a Pompeii of drywall. Then a commercial for Smile Island: an animation of sparkling teeth rowing safely through a desert of malicious sugar. This fantasy of perfect bicuspids enraged him. As if a diligent toothbrusher could prevent every incursion of random or environmental influences. If you do everything the right way, everything will be right, right? That was what the pen-clicking obstetrician had said. That at 11 weeks, everything tested perfectly, and therefore there was nothing to fear.
He wanted to ransack the obstetrician's office, to hold the entire tank of goldfish hostage in his cheeks until they suffocated.
In the waiting room, every single cover of every single magazine had a rectangle cut out. The doctor's home address excised, an abscess in the page, a windowless maw in a derelict house.
Chuck turned off the television at the source; Grace, most likely, was lying on the remote.
Only with the exhaustion of toddlers had he ever slept soundly. Last year, Chuck had finally bought blackout curtains, which, he supposed, helped in some incremental way.
On the far wall, the green ping of the smoke detector ready light. Behind it, behind the wall, Chuck couldn't stop imagining a bulbous, asymmetric bee hive that blew up like a boil, like an acid balloon, and burst through.
"I'm staying home from work," Chuck said the next morning. He had helped Grace downstairs, made her tea.
"I'm not an invalid, okay?"
"It drives me crazy that I couldn't help."
"Look, the little light-comets aren't streaking across my eyes any more. And the bleeding, it's more of a trickle now."
"I have no doubt that you're fine without me. But let me do the little I can do."
Chuck's heart was raw, had the pink chewiness of a steak tossed to a Doberman. Sure, he could drive the kids to school, pick up necessary supplies: fabric softener, lip balm, peanut butter. Otherwise, he felt an almost desperate pull to be tethered to Grace. And he certainly couldn't bear a conversation with his boss, Mr. Karczinsk, owner of Master K.'s Jewelers, whose comb leaned forward in the breast pocket of his white, palely striped dress shirts, who had a permanent loupe mark around one eye. He'd take one look at Chuck, at some missed detail of personal hygiene, the wiry hair sprouting from the ear whorl, and he'd say, "Talk, why don't you? Aren't we second family here?"
So Chuck would take sick time, because Chuck couldn't imagine telling Master K. that Sprocket would have been exactly thirteen weeks in the womb today, from conception.
And that he wanted to eat ground-up glass.
Russell ran downstairs with his backpack, which he opened too wide and too fast and everything blurted out onto the kitchen table.
"Pick that stuff up!" Chuck said.
"I was planning on leaving it there," Russell replied.
"Three minutes," Grace said.
"I only wanted to show you this cool graph," said Russell, "that I made for my chemistry report. 3-D modeled molecules."
"Later," Chuck said. "I'm sure your mom doesn't have the brainspace."
"Okay," huffed Russell. He seemed slightly hurt.
"Can you get Jess?" Grace asked Chuck. "She's always where she's not supposed to be."
Both kids sat in the back of the minivan. Jess was coding an assignment on her iPad-something about the internet being structured like an ocean, with shallow and deep items. Sound bled from Russell's headphones; Chuck could only hear the drums. Grief was indiscernible from indifference. It was all headphones on and headphones off and Russell tugging at his eyelashes on the beat and it all seemed exactly the same as last week, when the pregnancy hadn't been quite real, Jess thinking aloud through shades of hair dye and Russell crudely lifting the plate to drink the juice from the chicken cacciatore, which Chuck had made, using the special olives he had bought from Dean & DeLuca, which made Grace gag and sprint upstairs.
That nausea, Grace had said, beyond any previous memory of nausea.
The air in the minivan didn't want to circulate, as hot and dense as a lead blanket, and so Chuck put down the windows. Jess might have grunted; that was about it for reaction.
"Come home on time, little fledgelings," Chuck said at the high school; they had already trudged off.
Trader Joe's was nearly empty, and no air-conditioning, not this early.
If he had come home on time, what? He would have been able to take Grace to the hospital instead of Jess. What else, if anything, would have changed?
He felt the Reckless as a heat in his fingertips, as cayenne in the back of his throat.
Everything embittered him. A wheel on a kids' cart wobbled too fast for his eyes. A group of checkers did a dance-off around a table of peach cobblers. Even their Hawaiian shirts, which made him think of cell phone towers, their metal skeletons made organic by the bark of palm trees.
In one of the frozen foods aisles, Chuck shoved his hands down, hard, fingers spread, into the bags of fish nuggets. Under no circumstances would he submit to the Reckless, who was whispering: Fling your basket at that pyramid of spaghetti sauce jars. Give yourself this one gift: a cascade of shattering glass, the ooze of marinara.
He got the fabric softener, forgot the lip balm, bought crunchy instead of smooth.
When he came home, he found Grace in the bathroom, on the seat-down toilet, reading a book on pulse oximetry. The book had something to do with the cartographer, her patient, who had died two weeks ago during surgery: unforeseeable complications from an anesthetic she had administered.
"The 1 in the 1 in a 100,000," she had said.
True, Grace and Moreland, the attending surgeon, were obligated to present the case next month to their colleagues, to answer the difficult questions about cause and effect and culpability. But, Grace had said, it was a formality, not even worth prepping for, since they had done nothing wrong. Independent contractors had examined the data from the monitors; the airway clear, the dosages accurate.
Now she stuck out the tip of her tongue, concentrating hard, though Chuck doubted whether she could read anything through the blurriness of her tears.
"Goes okay?" he asked.
"I got you some of that chocolate peppermint bark stuff-won't that help a bit?"
Grace started crying harder. Chuck couldn't bear to look at her; he didn't want to cry himself. There, on the bathroom wall, was the framed piece of construction paper, the kind that preschoolers drew on, on which there were two jagged, childish words: "gotta AIM!" To this day, it mortified Russell, though he never took it down.
"Did I do something wrong?" Chuck asked.
"Do you want a special treat for going shopping?" she asked. And with her foot, she closed the door on him, locked the push-button.
"Grace!" he yelled. She didn't respond. "Grace!" The Reckless flared up in his foot-he had hung this door, knew its lack of thickness-and the Reckless subsided. There was, he remembered, that branch that kept tapping so irksomely against the laundry room window.
The decapitating snip of hedge shears, the branch he'd go chop down.
He hacked at the branch, butchered an overgrowth of oleander. No gloves, no goggles. The bright, gusty weather decentered him, a swarm of ions at his ears. It was almost Kansas, after all. In such weather he felt the kindling of something supernatural and faintly malicious, where funnels of tornadoes swept rocking chairs up and away.
He went to the garage to stow the shears. The garage, the delicate balance of foresight and hoarding, had always made him feel softer, less angular. He thought about hard water, the unseen minerals. He sniffed a gas cap to an old lawnmower. He shook a mason jar full of finishing nails. Yes, given the circumstances, he'd cave in to Russell, who had been begging him to have a yard sale, clearing space for Russell's free weights. Yes, it might be a relief to sell the radio-era leaf-blower and swamp cooler, all noise-polluters and fossil guzzlers.
So naive of him, to think she was more or less okay. Last night, in bed, she seemed well enough. She had rattled off her schema to taper from her painkillers. Lucid, matter-of-fact, as he had always known her, had always, perhaps, needed her. Since date one, when he had dropped his fork and she had, without fuss, pulled a new one from the adjacent table, she had kept the permeable boundaries of their world from extruding.
Given Grace's relative indifference to the baby-no, not that, not exactly, rather her emphasis on the brute, unpleasant materiality of her prior pregnancies-was her sadness simply an involuntary, reflexive response to the physical trauma? Or was she, in mourning, making an admission how badly she had wanted it?
It was true, when planning vacations, she wouldn't show excitement until she stepped onto whatever new soil.
The neatly modular shelving of the garage, the tennis ball descending from the twine, they couldn't possibly pacify him. He threw darts like a baseball pitcher, with an exaggerated wind-up, darts that thunked hard and harder into the corkboard until one struck the magnetic base to an old spice rack and the metal tip snapped off and the Strongbow Cider flight, snowflake-slow, fluttered down.
Grace didn't, as she said, "gather her appetite" until late; it was almost 9, mostly dark, when Chuck ran a bowl of lobster ravioli up to her and saw her scribbling frantically in her book on pulse oximetry.
He waited in the doorway; he wanted her to acknowledge him. There was the brass hook for the bathrobes. The dried, yellow roses in the two frames, set at a diagonal, and the Haeckel jellyfish, which reminded Chuck of psychedelic trumpet vines. A bra strap hung over the edge of an armoire drawer. Their bedroom, he had to say, looked normal enough. It smelled faintly of an eyemask, stuffed with sprigs of lavender, that Jess had made last year. Jess still seemed like a child then, still snuffing Red Hots up her nostrils for giggles, before the aggressive fade and the electric green hair, and that way she'd flick up one side of her upper lip when wanting you to feel the gale force of her apathy.
"It's your room too," Grace said, still writing, not looking at him.
"You seem almost obsessed with the case."
"A man died because of my anesthetics. That's important, don't you think?"
He set the ravioli on her night table. "I thought this case was shut and shut."
"It's not, okay? It's not shut and shut."
"You're angry with me?"
He couldn't help the wounded, or cornered, animal in his tone. She was literally shutting up the book with her pen, writing directly over the body text rather than in the marginalia, and something about that violence hurt him.
"Do you honestly expect instant acceptance?" she asked.
"I'm not saying you shouldn't be upset. About the case, or, for that matter, about the baby."
"The thing is, you are. You want me to skip steps."
"It's just-it's not the end of everything, is it?"
"Can you at least attempt to let me have my emotions?" She tweezered a corner of a ravioli with thumb and forefinger, watched a glob of sauce fall back into the bowl. "And can you please go fetch the Little Scorpion already?"
Since the miscarriage, Jess, otherwise known as the Little Scorpion, had refused to speak to Grace, had stayed away from home entirely. The mother of her new friend Alicia had driven them out to the corn maze; Chuck would pick them up.
Chuck distrusted Alicia, who liked lipstick, as a fashion statement, on her front teeth.
"I just wanted-"
"Don't," she said.
"I love you," he said. Grace didn't respond. He went downstairs, fishing in his pocket for his oversized key chain. Paradise, he was going to tell her, the name of the town close to where the corn maze complicated the dirt.
Why did Grace's emotions so deeply unsettle him?
He was somewhere near Arley, annoyed. On top of everything else, the minivan's Emergency Brake indicator light wouldn't stop blinking. He put the windows down, felt the rushing, humid warmth. He heard the asynchronous cricket songs. It was always deer o'clock around here, so he turned on the brights, which created a narrow, blinkering tunnel in front of him, for which he felt grateful, as if cracking a path through the dark momentarily allowed him to think through things without clutter.
He knew he wasn't being fair. Despite Grace's strength, what she often called the gritted-teeth path, he couldn't possibly be surprised at how deeply the miscarriage had wounded her. Could he not bear the sheer intensity of her suffering? Was it that she was so obviously distracting herself with the cartographer's death, and not tending to him? Or even worse, did he actually resent Grace for failing to carry his, their unborn child to term?
How selfish and cruel and worthless.
He saw two large bones ahead of him, probably deer vertebrae, just before a curve. One of the bones rested on the soft shoulder, almost exactly on the edge of a drainage ditch. He floored the gas. Could he drive his right-side tires between the bones? If he could, things wouldn't be okay-that would be too much to ask-maybe his skill would push the needle towards a semblance of okay.
The vertebrae were, however, much larger and sharper than he had estimated. He crushed one; the tire popped. He torqued the steering wheel, but the right side of the minivan was no longer on solid ground, no traction at all. Then the van was tumbling off the shoulder, into the ditch, then Chuck's forehead slamming into the steering wheel.
"At 4AM," Grace said, confronting Chuck as he limped in the next morning, "you know what I learned? That Girls Gone Wild is still on television! It's 2014, Chuck! Where were you? Are you okay? What happened?"
Chuck closed the front door behind him, threw his sweat-stained t-shirt onto the floor of the family room. He took two steps upstairs and two stairs back down, deciding to remain bare-chested, so that Grace could see the bruises. "I'm fine," he said, rubbing the cross-hatched imprint of the steering wheel on his forehead, "I think."
"What the hell happened to you?" Grace sat heavily on the couch, pulled her knees to her chest, draped the red and black trappers blanket over her. A plate of buttered toast on the coffee table.
He explained the bones in the middle of the road, how he must have been knocked out for hours, how delirious he had been when he came to. Out of cell phone range, wobbly. How at sunrise he dragged himself to the service station, got the minivan towed, hailed his first cab ever from the repair shop.
"Why didn't you call me from the service station?"
"I didn't want to bother you," he said.
"And it was nothing but bad luck? A freak accident?"
Of course he didn't deliberately crash the minivan in that distant tentacle of Clay County.
"You're sure? Absolutely sure?"
In the taxi, he had vowed that, for once, when he got home, he would keep quiet, which would give Grace space to come back into herself. He had even prepared for himself a totem image, to focus on at the moment when he couldn't help but spray his emotions all over the house. It was the image of a fire swallower, which he had seen on a photograph in Jess's room, which initially looked to him like a woman with a bowl cut blowing out a flaming s'more.
Except he couldn't keep quiet.
"I don't know," Chuck admitted sheepishly, "I guess it could have been the Reckless."
"Could have been?"
"I'm not saying it was. It might have, I suppose, been operating at a sublevel beneath my control."
"Jesus, Chuck, is it ever at a level you can control! What if I had started bleeding again? If there were complications?"
"I'm sorry," Chuck said.
"You know that you're supposed to take care of me?"
"If I didn't know better, I'd say it was you with your insides scooped out!"
It was awful. Her beautiful face held an expression of pained disgust, like when you had to tug a hookworm from your own skin.
"What were you thinking?" she continued. "Were you were thinking, hey, crashing the van is the best way for me to be an abhorrent absent husband and a shitty father!"
Though Jess wouldn't say how, Jess and Alicia had found their way back from the corn maze to Alicia's house.
Chuck swallowed a lump of spit. He imagined the photo of the fire swallower on the wall above one of the stereo speakers; the vulnerability of her arched throat, the red bandanna tied around her wrist.
He kissed Grace and started up the stairs.
"What makes you think this conversation is over?" she yelled.
"I am thinking of you," he said, "I promise. And I promise I'll do better."
"Trust me."
"I don't, Chuck! Don't you see? That's the problem! I can't count on you at all!"
This time he didn't talk. He kept going up the stairs.
The required softness of throat muscles, he told himself, to accept the pain. The ability of an individual to absorb collective suffering, to transform it into resolution, how the shape of the flame looked like a genie escaping the bottle.
He had, despite what he told her, only blacked out for a moment. His ankle was already throbbing. The van sat at a 45 degree angle in the ditch. Why hadn't the airbag gone off? He clasped his hands behind his head, as if to do crunches. "Fuck!" he screamed. The front grill of the minivan was folded up, and the engine was smoking. He would be super late to pick Jess up. Where was his phone? He fumbled on the floor between his feet; he found a wrapper for a strawberry watermelon Starburst.
When he finally picked up the phone, he saw that there was no signal.
He imagined a paper bag, expanding and contracting, to stop him from hyperventilating. Awkwardly, he pulled the long umbrella from under the passenger's seat. One, two shoves to open the door, which made him think about the sequence from the Incredible Hulk, the 70's version, where the Hulk overturned a car, possibly to save someone trapped beneath.
The smell of motor oil, still leaking onto the weeds.
He limped along, his weight on the umbrella, until he reached the vertebrae: one intact, one crushed. He started to bend over to get the bone, which he wanted, for some reason, as a souvenir, and felt a horrific pain to both his temples, what he would later describe to Grace as an empty jar of peanut butter in the trash compactor.
A cluster of halide lights, a gas station or country self-storage, maybe a mile or so away. He'd call Grace from there. He started towards the last remembered intersection. But what would he tell her? That he felt the miscarriage as a cold, damp skin on his skin, as an oil spill spreading at night, thickening over the black sea of their lives? That there was no baby? That he was no longer the man with a baby on the way. No toddler holding his hands, teetering down the stairs. The Cheerios, no scatter plot on the linoleum.
He would not pat the boy's back at the first swallow of swimming pool water.
To take the boy to Royals games, to fill out a box score.
Goddamn the brightly colored pegs of Mastermind.
Each step became more and more painful. Was his ankle broken? His forehead was swelling to Neanderthal proportions; a few bruised ribs. And, he admitted to himself, he didn't want to go home, not yet. So he turned back to the minivan. He'd sleep it all off. Even he understood that he needed to hibernate into what he wouldn't become.

Q: rsync just thumbnail.jpg and leaving the rest I have a large directory tree with lot of files like;
/abc2/def/thumbnail.jpg
/abc1/def/thumbnail.jpg
/abc1/def/geh/someothertextfile.txt
/abc1/defe/geh/thumbnail.jpg

I would like to rsync all those directories and files that match thumbnail.jpg to another tree.
I tried;
rsync -r --exclude-from=/tmp/exclude src dst

with exclude file containing;
# cat /tmp/exclude
+ /thumbnail.jpg
+ thumbnail.jpg
+ /**/thumbnail.jpg
+ **/thumbnail.jpg
- *

but this does not match any.

A: use find
find / -name "thumbnail.jpg" -exec rsync -avz --compress --progress {} dst \;

A: ok, so actually RTFM always works in the end...
changing the command to;
rsync -r --prune-empty-dirs --exclude-from=/tmp/exclude src dst

and changing the exclude file to;
# cat /tmp/exclude
+ */
+ thumbnail.jpg
- *

works like a charm.

A: Your problem is that the final - * excludes all directories (which tells rsync not just not to copy them but also not to traverse them). Use

+ thumbnail.jpg
+ */
- *

and pass --prune-empty-dirs on the rsync command line.

Hope for Haitians? Immigrants from the storm-ravaged island should be allowed to stay in the United States.
Washington Post Editorial
HAITI WAS already an island of unimaginable suffering, a country ravaged by war and roving gangs where four out of five residents lived in extreme poverty. Then, in less than a month last year, four vicious storms lashed it, killing up to 800 people, leaving as many as 1 million homeless and inflicting at least $1 billion in damage — 15 percent of the country's gross domestic product. The State Department cautions visitors that there are no "safe areas" in Haiti, and that "kidnapping, death threats, murders, drug-related shootouts, armed robberies, break-ins and carjackings are common." Yet, it is U.S. policy to deport the estimated 30,000 Haitians in this country back to this hotbed of violence and squalor. The United States grants temporary protected status (TPS) to immigrants from countries with extreme economic or political conditions; Haitian immigrants more than qualify.
Haitians in the United States are one of the few sources of stability for their home country, sending back remittances that total an estimated one-fourth of the Haiti's GDP. Deporting Haitians, and thereby diminishing millions of dollars in what is essentially foreign aid, would devastate a country that can ill afford to take more economic hits. A surge of deportees, who would arrive without either homes or jobs, would also place an impossible burden on Haiti's skeletal social services.
Critics say that granting TPS would bring a rush of Haitians to the United States in search of citizenship. But TPS would apply only to Haitians in the United States at the time the order is issued. As the Miami-Dade Board of County Commissioners in Florida wrote recently in a letter to President Obama, there was no "mass exodus" of Haitians to the United States after the Clinton administration granted a stay of deportation in 1998.
The Bush administration was consistently inflexible on the issue, turning down Haitian applications for TPS with minimal explanation. After last year's storms, the Bush administration temporarily suspended the deportations, only to resume them months later, while the country was still reeling from the disasters. The Obama administration has so far maintained the Bush administration's policy, but advocates have met with Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and were encouraged by her response.
Mr. Obama recently issued an order that allowed Liberian immigrants to stay temporarily in the United States. Immigrants from Somalia, El Salvador, Nicaragua and Honduras have also been granted TPS in recent years. Why are immigrants from a disaster-wracked country that is the poorest in the hemisphere less deserving?

New Release Book Review: The Lost Valley by Jennifer Scoullar
Sep 5, 2018 Sep 4, 2018 / Theresa Smith Writes
The Lost Valley…
Tasmania, 1929: Ten-year-old-twins, Tom and Harry Abbott, are orphaned by a tragedy that shocks Hobart society. They find sanctuary with their reclusive grandmother, growing up in the remote and rugged Binburra ranges – a place where kind-hearted Tom discovers a love of the wild, Harry nurses a growing resentment towards his brother and where the mountains hold secrets that will transform both their lives.
The chaos of World War II divides the brothers, and their passion for two very different women fuels a deadly rivalry. Can Tom and Harry survive to heal their rift? And what will happen when Binburra finally reveals its astonishing secrets?
From Tasmania's highlands to the Battle of Britain, and all the way to the golden age of Hollywood, The Lost Valley is a lush family saga about two brothers whose fates are entwined with the land and the women they love.
The Lost Valley is a sweeping family saga in the tradition of Di Morrissey, lined with drama and beating with a conservationists heart. Taking us back to Tasmania in the 1930s and spanning through to beyond the second world war, we get an intimate look at life in Tasmania during the depression era and prosperous post war years following the hardship.
As well as telling the story of twins, Tom and Harry, we meet Emma, a bright young woman on the cusp of a prosperous future, only to have circumstances beyond her control snatch it away and steer her onto a path she would never have otherwise contemplated. The inclusion of Emma's story was a bonus for me. She was smart, determined, so dedicated to her mother; but above all, full of intent with regards to her independence. Her story highlights the more tragic side of Australian society in the 1920s and 1930s, a place where the options for women's employment were still so limited, their roles still defined by a misogynistic view that was not in keeping with the rampant poverty prevalent. Emma's story wasn't a pretty one, but it was fundamentally realistic.
Tom and Harry were a complicated pair, both bearing such a tragic legacy, each wanting to prove himself and his worth. It was sad, to see their sibling relationship so fractured, and in all honesty, despite her very best of intentions and overall motivations, their nana really fostered much of this contention through her affinity with Tom, and her subsequent inflammatory favouritism. In many ways this is a cautionary tale, about the dangers of putting one child over another. You can't give all to one and very little to another without serious consequences. In this case, the tensions between the brothers build and build, until it all rises to the fore in an explosive situation with roots buried deep in the past. It was very tragic indeed.
There were many instances of shallow behaviour demonstrated between the brothers, Harry more than Tom, but it didn't always sit well with me. In many ways, this is a very compressed novel, with events unfolding rapidly with great chunks of time passing quickly. This did lead to some moments, particularly with Tom and his rushed wedding for example, where I just felt as though things had moved too fast with events jolting out of character. There was little breathing space, to just be in the moment with the story unfolding, and some of the behaviours that Tom and Harry indulged in that bothered me might have been less so if the events had been slowed. Much of this is me though, and my expectations around a family saga. I did expect the novel to be much longer, and in essence, it could have been, another third again, to allow that slower pacing and more authentic unravelling of the drama and increased enrichment of the character development.
The shining part of this novel was the conservation angle, the animal welfare and preservation of endangered species. Any story that has a mismanaged zoo or circus from the past tugs at me. I am often overcome after reading historical novels with these themes on the utter wastage that we have indulged in. Species critically endangered, extinct, under threat; that these animals were allowed to die in captivity due to poor management is such a terrible legacy we hold as humans. Jennifer's focus on the zoo in Hobart as one such example was utterly heartbreaking. On the flip side of course is Tom's focus on protecting the thylacines. I loved this part of the story and the magic of the lost valley really entranced me. It was all so atmospheric and deeply meaningful.
'The tiger yawned wide in an intimidating display of threat. Tom stood transfixed. Here was more than stories and tracks and cries in the night. Here was a living, breathing thylacine, an animal that had walked the earth for millions of years longer than humans had. An animal the world believed to be extinct.'
The Lost Valley was an absorbing read that I raced through. I may have wished for it to be longer, but only because I enjoyed it so much and craved for more. I highly recommend The Lost Valley to those who love Australian history, family dramas and stories with a strong environmental theme. It would make a pretty good book club selection too, as there is much to ponder and a whole host of discussion points to ricochet off.

I really enjoyed this, more so that the first one, more seemed to happen I felt
It was very action packed, that's for sure. I'm yet to read the first though!
All Jennifer Scoullar's books sound really good I can't believe I haven't read any of her books yet. The good thing though is I have a few on my bookshelf.
Favouritism hey? It destroys families as does jealousy. I know all about that I have a sister who is extremely jealous and a mum who has always favoured my sister and then favoured her daughter and the worse thing was my mum didn't believe she was favouring anyone. Their behaviour was affecting my health so after dad died last year it was best to sever all contact with them.
In my experience, most people doing the favouritism claim they aren't. Completely blind to their own doing. I hope you are in better health now for the break from them.
I'm going great guns now. Though, every so often I have a little cry because it's sad not to have them in my life anymore! I thank God that I have a wonderful husband, daughter and son-in-law, they make me happy.
That is good. So often we have to just make the best of bad situations.

I was going to add this one to my combo thread but I see this one so many times as I scroll through posts that I think it deserves special attention. People are flagging a LOT of stuff that I believe doesn't break the TOS, so I assume, as others are saying, they are using flag for a lack of dislike button. Isn't flag meant only to report TOS abuse and illegal stuff? Are the mods being bothered by all the flags by now? If yes to both of these, then a dislike button should be added if the forum structure allows it. No idea how hard it would be to add, or if work is being already done for it because of all the false(?) flags.
I'll add more stuff to my combo thread later as I find it. Cheers!
this might just be me, but i am already seeing flagging as becoming the new downvote of this forum. would it be possible to make it required to actually say why you're flagging it in the first place. and i don't mean ticking spam or abuse, but actually giving a brief comment on why it is. i would really hate to see this forum turned into "oh you were flagged a lot i don't want to listen to ur opinion" because that'll be the new hostile.
or at least stop putting a number next to the flagged button. i don't know why it's there in the first place. seems pointless. all we really need to know is if we have reported the comment already or not.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I'll work with Spacecats to come up with a solution.
Thanks for listening. Much appreciated.
I don't like of this idea (a dislike button). It's easy push a button when you don't like of something, but point what you don't like and say something constructive that can make it better is really hard.
EME could put a warning in to flag button to let people know that, if they improperly use it they can be also punished.
That's the problem, some people just don't bother with explaining why they don't like something and, in the old forums, they could downvote/dislike whatever at the press of a button. Here there's no such thing, yet usually the people who want to dislike or downvote without commenting why will look for another way to do so, and instead what you see is tons of posts with flags, which were never meant for that. THOUGH maybe just a warning about the flag being used as a downvote can be enough for who knows how many users. Anyway. The staff is already aware of the issue with flagging, at least, and it's now in their hands to either set up something like a downvote button (a function the old forum already had anyway) or as you proposed, a warning about flagging. Whichever they do will hopefully reduce the number of wrongly flagged posts.
Quick update: I've hidden the number next to the flag link. Spacecats will continue to send out warnings to and/or ban people who are abusing the flag tool.
thank you for hiding the number! i think that is really going to help a lot.


I ensure people get the positive emotional reward they deserve when buying and selling property.
Whether you are a first home buyer, family, investor, or retired couple, too often you don't get to feel the satisfaction and reward that should flow to you when you buy or sell a property. Why?

A Cher concert is always a fun evening out, but her current engagement "Classic Cher" at the MGM National Harbor, which she teased by saying she planned to make it her "best show ever," is, sadly, far from it.
In fairness, to call the show "Classic" implies she's not reinventing the wheel this time, yet there are so many rehashed segments, costumes and set pieces from her last two tours, to call it a new anything is a stretch. The expectation bar is pretty high, too, considering what we've seen her do on her 2002-2005 "Farewell Tour" and the 2014 "Dressed to Kill Tour," both larger-than-life productions that were each high points in her 50-year career.
This time, instead of criss-crossing the states on a lengthy tour, the legendary diva is doing two residency shows — one in Las Vegas at the Park Theater at the Monte Carlo (which opened last month) and in Oxon Hill, Md., at the Theater at MGM National Harbor, where she opened last Friday, March 17. "Classic Cher" is her first time performing concerts in two years. She plays MGM through this weekend then returns in late August (tickets are here).
Cheers erupted as the house lights went down and images of Cher over the years flashed on the video screens leading up to the moment the purple curtains parted and there was the 70-year-old diva perched above the stage in an Egyptian-inspired outfit and huge black afro belting out her 2013 hit "Woman's World" as she was lowered onto the stage revealing a peek-a-boo number that left little to the imagination.
She strutted among her warrior-clad background dancers while belting out the next song, "Strong Enough," from her '98 comeback album "Believe." So far she was in fine form. Yes, the opening numbers were lifted from her 2014 "Dressed To Kill Tour" but Cher has always been one to stick to a somewhat standard set list over the years and yes, it seemed during the opening number a backing track was used to give her a fuller effect, but her live voice was there albeit a bit faint.
Next up was another "Believe"-era hit, "All or Nothing," with an India-inspired set completely lifted from her 2002 Farewell Tour. Dancers donned the same outfits as then, the "Gayatri Mantra" interlude chant was used complete with the same giant mechanical elephant and Cher emerging from it in a similar outfit. This time though, the energy wasn't there and her voice was overpowered by the band during much of it.
She performed her first solo hit next, the Dylan cover, "All I Really Want To Do," but seemed like she just wanted to get it over with before doing a virtual duet with Sonny for "I Got You Babe." Before the duet, she said it took her a while to do this and during her first Farewell Tour she wasn't ready before joking, "First farewell tour? Who would've thought I'd be alive for more farewell tours?" The crowed loved the duet and it turned into a major singalong moment across the room.
Circus barkers and dancers performed an interlude before Cher came out performing her classic hit, "Gypsies Tramps and Thieves" followed by a snippet of "Dark Lady." As quickly as she had everyone up on their feet, she was gone and dancers filled the gap with a Native American dance as the diva emerged in a complete feather headdress belting out "Half Breed" before disappearing again. By now the proceedings felt choppy and disjointed. The costumes — recycled or not — are great, but why go to the trouble of donning them if you're just going to zip through a perfunctory, two-minute excerpt of a song?
Last time out, Cher sang "You Haven't Seen the Last of Me" from her movie "Burlesque" always prefacing it with a disclaimer that it was a tough song to sing and it would be whatever it would be. This time, it's played on a video. The dancers then perform and Cher emerges as Tess (her character in the movie) and sings the infinitely less satisfying "Welcome to Burlesque." A handy way, perhaps, to tip her hat to that film in a less vocally taxing way, but it felt unmemorable and the crowd seemed unimpressed.
Next up was yet another video performance/costume change for "Lie To Me," from her last album "Closer to the Truth." I would have much rather heard her sing it live and it would have been a nice stylistic break in the show. Instead it melted into a disco-inspired interlude leading up to Cher coming out in a sparkly ensemble performing a brief version of '79's "Take Me Home" before running off stage yet again.
A montage of clips from the various films she was in was shown on the screen as well as her Academy Award win, which drew cheers, before Cher entered from stage left singing "After All" in a sheer gold gown with what looked like a halo adorning her long blond tresses. During her Vegas show, she emerges on a boat gliding across the stage, but since the stage is smaller at the MGM, she had to change her entrance.
Another costume change followed with a video of her talking about her love of Elvis before her band played a long intro as she entered from stage right in jeans and a zipped jacket sporting curly blond hair singing "Walking In Memphis," which had the audience up cheering and singing along. It was a nice surprise considering it wasn't a big hit when she released it in the mid-'90s.
Thankfully instead of running off for another change, she followed the Marc Cohn cover with her Betty Everett cover "The Shoop Shoop." She normally has a lot of fun with this on past tours, but she just seemed disinterested this time and the energy was lacking. Oddly two background singers emerged for this number, to join Cher and her six-piece band. Who knows where they'd been hiding heretofore.
The band got a moment to shine as they played her hit "Bang Bang" before Cher entered center stage singing "I Found Someone" decked out in a sheer black outfit with knee-high boots and leather jacket. The crowd went wild as she moved across the stage belting out the rock classic before launching into her signature hit "If I Could Turn Back Time." In other tours, there was a big lead up to it and she really got into it, but this time it felt like she just wanted to get through it. Without any goodbyes, she left the stage as the curtains closed.
After a few minutes, they opened up to a rave-style dance routine complete with lasers as a remix of Cher's biggest hit "Believe" played. Cher started singing "Believe" but didn't emerge until a bit into it (missed cue maybe?) and when she did, she just seemed like she just wanted the concert to end. The energy that she usually has for it was gone and it felt like just another song to get through. Once she finished, she put the mic down, waved goodbye to each side of the audience and was gone. No goodbyes, no thank yous, done. Cher had left the building.
Since the second leg of the "Dressed to Kill Tour" in 2014 was canceled due to health issues, I was especially eager to see Cher again. No doubt it's a fun night out for casual fans and the visual spectacle she's known for is there. But to charge $109-nearly $500 for a show this rehashed and disjointed is a bit much.
The MGM theater is surprisingly small and intimate and it's fun to see Cher in this setting. But without the taxation of schlepping from city to city over months on end, I'd hoped the legend would be at the top of her game. Yeah, she's 7o, but it's not about that — with no audience interaction, shoddy sound mixing and endless interludes, the whole production felt half hearted.
Saw this show in Las Vegas Valentine's night. You hit all the points we thought after the show. To me Dressed to Kill was amazing., and the Farewell Tour was fresh for the time full of energy. I love Cher but left after Classic Cher a little cheated. Next suppose is New York for her musical. I'm still a huge fan.
Thank you for your comment. I'm glad to know others felt this way too. I had a few friends at the show I was at and they thought she was off a bit, but for me it was the fact the show was so recycled and the flow wasn't there. The Farewell Tour 2002 was fantastic the time, I saw it 3 times. Dressed to Kill was even better especially since she did new songs (saw it 3 times) but this show just left me wanting more. There were no surprises. I appreciate your comments a lot.


With it being halloween and all, I figure this would be a perfect set of shots for it. Andre Govia has a very good eye for the creepy and scary shots. This series of shots from abandoned locations in Europe are simply spectacular. He is currently on a tour to capture the most haunted and creepy images he can and is doing a very very good job of it so far.
Make sure to check out the rest of his shots here.
There is also a video from the amusement park shots!
Fantastic!!!!!! Thanks for sharing these!!!
Incredible images! Love the look and depth.
It's worth noting that Andre is one of the original Urbex photographers in the UK, and his work, along with Romany WG and a few others is some of the best out there.
A lot of people might not like the HDR, but Andre is someone who makes it work in almost every shot.
He's a lovely guy, too.
Incredible pictures. Pure art if you ask me. Really, really nice. And good use of HDR. Set's the mood perfectly.
Glad to see you featuring one of my buddies out here. I've been talking with Andre for years and it's nice to see the body of his work and unique style featured here!

The 2018 Hokkaido Eastern Iburi earthquake (M JMA = 6.7) was triggered by a strike-slip faulting in a stepover segment: insights from the aftershock distribution and the focal mechanism solution of the main shock

地震学・火山学
The Hokkaido Eastern Iburi earthquake (MJMA = 6.7) occurred on September 6, 2018, in the Hokkaido corner region where the Kurile and northeastern Japan island arcs meet. We relocated aftershocks of this intraplate earthquake immediately after the main shock by using data from a permanent local seismic network and found that aftershock depths were concentrated from 20 to 40 km, which is extraordinarily deep compared with other shallow intraplate earthquakes in the inland area of Honshu and Kyushu, Japan. Further, we found that the aftershock area consists of three segments. The first segment is located in the northern part of the aftershock area, the second segment lies in the southern part, and the third segment forms a stepover between the other two segments. The hypocenter of the main shock, from which the rupture initiated, is located on the stepover segment. The centroid moment tensor solution for the main shock indicates a reverse faulting, whereas the focal mechanism solution determined by using the first-motion polarity of the P wave indicates strike-slip faulting. To explain this discrepancy qualitatively, we present a model in which the rupture started as a small strike-slip fault in the stepover segment of the aftershock area, followed by two large reverse faulting ruptures in the northern and southern segments.[Figure not available: see fulltext.].

The big question out there when it comes to Apple products is, "Can a Mac get a virus?" The short answer? Absolutely.
Apple computers can get viruses and malware just like PCs can. While iMacs, MacBooks, Mac Minis, and iPhones may not be as frequent targets as Windows computers, all have their fair share of threats.
Adware, spyware, ransomware, and hardware and software vulnerabilities are some of the problems now affecting Macs, and not just PCs. Read on to learn more about some of the most common malware and viruses that can affect Apple devices, what the signs are, and what you can do to help protect your devices.
Apple viruses can range from annoying to outright damaging.
Adware is a potentially unwanted program that can bombard users with advertising pop-ups. Adware can be both malicious or benign. Some adware can work in conjunction with spyware, a type of software that can spy on and record everything you do online.
Pop-up ads can lead users to malicious websites that could deliver data-stealing spyware onto their Macs. Adware can also send information back to a third-party server. This information could be used to commit crimes, such as identity theft, fraud, or even extortion.
Although they're not malicious, even benign pop-up ads can be extremely annoying and intrusive.
Trojan horses are common to Macs and PCs. One notable Apple computer Trojan horse was found in February 2017. Dubbed "MacDownloader," it was malicious software hiding in a fake Adobe Flash update.
The MacDownloader malware was a form of spyware that attempted to steal personal data, including the user's keychain, which stores usernames, passwords, PINs, credit card numbers, and more.
Microsoft Word macro viruses have been around for a long time, mainly affecting PCs, but eventually jumping over to the Mac OS.
Macro viruses go to work when a user opens an infected file with macros enabled. The macro then tries to run a code that could perform functions such as taking screenshots and even accessing webcams.
Macro viruses are capable of creating new files, corrupting data, moving text, sending files, formatting hard drives, and inserting pictures, among other things. One of their more popular uses is to deliver destructive viruses and malware.
Ransomware is finally here for the Mac. KeRanger was one of the first significant ransomware outbreaks for Macs. As its name implies, ransomware presents users with an ultimatum: pay a fee to unlock their computer or specific files to reclaim personal data. If users don't pay the price, they risk losing the data forever.
Software and hardware vulnerabilities can affect all devices, no matter their maker. You may have heard of a major vulnerability last year dubbed Meltdown and Spectre.
This was a particular form of malware that affected the processor chips of PCs and Macs. This hardware vulnerability allowed programs to steal data that was currently being processed on the computers' chip. This included data like your passwords stored in a password manager or browser, emails, personal documents, photos, and instant messages. All of these types of information were vulnerable until the right software patches were installed.
If you have a feeling that your Mac is behaving oddly or is just "off," you may have a virus. Strange activity, applications seeming to "lag" when opening, and more can all be warning signs you may have malicious software on your Mac.
1. Ads and pop-ups are popping up often.
This could be a sign of adware. Being bombarded with a slew of advertisements every time you perform an action on your computer should be a signal that it's time to run a virus scan. Signs may include unusual amounts of banner ads, or fake pop-ups that recommend updates to your computer.
2. Your computer is slow.
Mac users are familiar with what is referred to as the "spinning wheel of death." That's when the cursor turns into a rainbow wheel. This is a sign of a sluggish computer. That little wheel means that your Mac is working overtime, trying to do too many things at once. When this happens, it could mean there's a malicious program running in the background you may not know about.
3. You have browser issues.
Did your browser suddenly change its homepage to something you've never seen before? If your browser is unresponsive, or starts crashing regularly, you might have a virus.
That may sound odd, but it's true. A lot of malware aims to be installed without the user's knowledge and to run quietly in the background. This is why installing strong antivirus software is crucial for Macs, as it can detect threats you may not be able to.
Antivirus software is kind of like insurance for your car or house. You may not need it all the time, but when trouble comes calling, you'll be glad you have it. While it's true that Macs have historically been considered to be less vulnerable to malware attacks than PCs, there are still significant threats out there. Adding an extra layer of device protection, like Norton Security Deluxe, is one way to help stay ahead of the curve.

Ekal Abhiyan (www.ekal.org) is a movement targeted to integrated and holistic development of rural and tribal India. Ekal started 30 years ago to organise and run 1 teacher schools (Ekal Shiksha Kendra) pan India and works only in the remote rural & tribal villages to take education to every child. inspired by Swami Vivekananda's ideology that if a child cannot come to school, take a school to child's doorstep. The overriding philosophy of Ekal is a holistic approach of social and economic development for Rural & Tribal India, that is what is the true Bharat. With an active participation of various trusts and non-profit entities, the movement has become the largest grassroots level non governmental education and development movement that operates in the remote villages of India.
Support your Rural & Tribal Brethren in Education, Health and Holistic Development. The Ekal movement aims to help eradicate illiteracy from rural and tribal India by adopting the philosophy of rural development based on the criteria of equality & inclusiveness across all the sections of the society. As on date we are running over 76,000 Ekal Shiksha Kendra all across besides having effective interventions in Preventive Healthcare (Arogya), Integrated Village Development (Gramothan) and Awareness of Villagers' Rights and Welfare (Shri Hari).
Know Us, Understand Us, Support Us and Be Us – with this focus in mind, Run for Ekal is being organised on Sunday, 13 January 2019 at New Delhi. We shall be showcasing our social interventions and developmental work amongst city residents and youth, who are harbinger of not only economic growth but greatly in bridging urban and rural divide. we expect more than 4000 dollars to join besides thousands of other as onlookers. Certain eminent personalities are also being invited to support this National Social Cause.
Last Date of registration is 7th Jan 2019 or as soon as the targeted slots are full.


The tarsometatarsal joints (also Lisfranc`s joint, latin: articulationes tarsometatarsales) are gliding joints located in the foot between the bones of the second row of the tarsus and the metatarsal bones.
The set of tarsometatarsal joints is also known as the Lisfranc`s joint, named after the pioneering French surgeon Jacques Lisfranc de St. Martin.
The tarsometatarsal joints consist of three isolated joints that involve the cuboid bone and three cuneiform bones (the second row of the tarsus), and the metatarsal bones.
The first metatarsal bone articulates with the medial cuneiform bone. The second and third metatarsal bones - with the intermediate cuneiform. The fourth and fifth metatarsals articulate with the cuboid bone.
bases of the metatarsal bones.
The tarsometatarsal joints are embraced by a fibrous capsule. The joints are stabilized by the following ligaments: the dorsal and plantar metatarsal ligaments and the interosseous cuneometatarsal ligaments.
The tarsometatarsal joints permit only slight gliding movements.

St. John of the Cross - His Origins, was first published in Spanish in 2009 by Fr. Balbino Velasco, O.Carm. The book has been translated into English by Fr. Joseph Chalmers, O.Carm., Prior General of the Carmelite Order between 1995 and 2007. Fr. Joseph writes in the introduction: It is impossible to understand this spiritual genius without understanding something of where he has come from and what formed him. St. John of the Cross has been studied from virtually every angle imaginable but a sadly neglected element is his Carmelite formation and what influence that might have played on his spirituality. In this book several commonly accepted facts surrounding the early life of St. John of the Cross are challenged or shown to have no basis but it is always done in a very gentle fashion. The suggestion is that St. John's Carmelite formation has had a much more profound influence than previously imagined. From the popular series 'Carmel in the World Paperbacks'.


It's undeniable that every pet owner will experience a set of googly eyes staring at them while they eat. And since you love your pup, you're probably inclined to share your dinner. But as a fur parent, you must always keep boundaries on what you can and cannot share with your pooch. So, if you want to know list of human foods your dog can eat, keep reading. This is sure to keep your puppy happy and your mind at peace. But remember, only give human food as a treat and not as the main source of food. Your pet's diet should only consist of about 5 to 10% of human food.
Rice and pasta can be a delicious meal you and your puppy can share. Always make sure your pooch is eating fully cooked rice and pasta. You can also provide your pup with healthier options like whole grain pasta and brown rice.
Peanut butter is an excellent way to introduce protein into your pup's life. You can also add peanut butter on top kibble to help picky eaters eat their food. Though this is a good treat, you must always make sure never to buy peanut butter with the ingredient Xylitol as it can be dangerous to your dog's life.
Lean meats are a great source of protein for your pup. Meats are usually safe for your pup to eat since they're already included in their kibble. But if you're planning giving your pup meat, make sure it's lean and cooked without odd ingredients or alcohol.
Apples can be a popular treat for some pups. And because of that, providing your furbaby with apples can be a great source of vitamin A, C, and fiber. Apple slices ar also a great way to maintain your puppy's teeth. Always make sure to remove all seeds from the apples as they can be a choking hazard.
Like many vegetables, carrots contain are high in vitamin A, fiber and low in calories. Because of this, carrots can be a great treat for your puppy or as a low calorie treat alternative. Frozen carrots can also double as a teething toy and can bring much relief to teething puppies.
Though dogs can eat a lot of foods humans can. Always make sure to avoid commonly known toxic foods like chocolate and avocado. And if you're not sure whether a food is toxic, it's always best to call your vet for more information.
