The Pitbull Boxer Mix (also known as the American Bullboxer, the Bullboxer Pit and the Pitoxer), is a very popular mix of two medium to large, powerful dogs: the American Pit Bull Terrier and the Boxer.
This dog, if well socialized, is a joy to have around. She has tons of energy; she'll shower you with affection, and she shows an unwavering loyalty to her family.
I've put together some information on this designer breed, so read on to see if the Pitbull Boxer Mix will be the one to win your heart and if you can be the owner she needs.
2. She needs plenty of exercise and lots of play!
3. Whatever the weather – not with this dog!
It is very common for this breed to be a multi-generation cross, meaning that you may not get a 50/50 mix. If you buy from a reputable breeder, they should be able to provide details of the dog's relatives. So your Pitbull Boxer Mix could have more attributes of one breed than the other, both in terms of physical appearance as well as character.
Given that both the Boxer and the Pitbull were bred for use as working dogs, these breeds are very energetic, so your Boxer Pitbull Mix requires a lot of exercise. If she doesn't get enough, she can become hyper and frustrated, which will invariably lead to mischievous behavior such as chewing, barking and digging.
The Boxer Pitbull Mix is very playful and will need lots of toys at home. Careful, though! With her strong jaw and love of chewing, this dogs can destroy a chew toy within minutes. You'd better make sure it's durable, otherwise you'll be racking up a huge bill in no time. When you take her out, take a ball or a Frisbee to play fetch. She will love it!
You should take her out for a brisk one-hour walktwice a day. If you are running, twenty minutes to half an hour should be enough. If your dog tires (you will notice her slowing or beginning to pant excessively) you should stop for a five-minute break and hydrate her. I recommend taking out a collapsible doggie bowl in which you can give her water.
This advice on exercise applies to the adult dog only, as when large-breed puppies do too much running and ball-chasing this can cause long-term injuries. With your Pitbull Boxer Mix puppy, it is best to do lots of short walks and indoor play until she matures, at about 1 year – 16 months.
Watch this 11 week old Pitbull Boxer Mix. She is curious, playful, active, and absolutely, jaw-droppingly gorgeous.
These dogs are short haired and don't possess a double coat, so they are sensitive to extreme weather conditions. If you live in a place where it gets to below-freezing temperatures, or it goes above 86 degrees (30ºC), I wouldn't recommend this dog for you.
In rainy weather, she will need a doggie coat to keep her warm. During summer months, it is best to take her out in the early morning or the evening when the sun is less intense. She may still need sunscreen, but make sure you purchase one without zinc oxide, as it is toxic for dogs.
If you're looking for a faithful and loving companion, look no further. The Boxer is well known as a great companion dog who is incredibly people-orientated and likes to be close to its ´pack´.
The Pitbull is also a very affectionate dog when well-socialized, who will lick you all over if you give her an inch. She was in fact bred for both work and companionship, and due to her gentle nature, is beginning to be used more and more as a therapy dog.
Both breeds are also great with children; the dog trainer Cesar Milan rates the Boxer and the Pitbull as excellent family dogs. The Boxer is very patient and protective, while the Pitbull is solid, a people-pleaser and highly trainable.
So mix them together and what have you got? A companionable, affectionate dog who fits in perfectly with a family, wants a lot of attention and gives in return.
It is, of course, worth noting that as puppies they are going to be more hyper, and so their contact with children must be supervised. Also, your dog must be well-exercised to be around children, as if not she will be incredibly excitable and could knock over a small child.
If she takes after her Boxer relatives, the Boxer Pitbull Mix can be incredibly protective. Her guard dog instinct is strong, which can be useful if there is an intruder or attacker. These are courageous dogs who used to risk their lives baiting bulls, so have no doubt that she will defend you and yours if necessary.
If this instinct gets out of hand, however, it can become a problem. You must make sure that you socialize your Boxer Pitbull Mix from a young age with as many people as you can. Invite friends and neighbors to your home and provide her with a positive association by having the person give her a treat when they arrive.
As long as you train her well and stay consistent, this dog will be the friendliest dog around.
Providing they are both socialized properly, both breeds can get on well with other animals, particularly Boxers. As for play style, Pitbulls can be rough and Boxers like to use their front paws when playing (much like a boxer… oh, that makes sense!), so if you have any older dogs already, this crossbreed might be a bit much for them!
These are intelligent dogs, which is no surprise, given that the Boxer is used in police and military work, as well as search and rescue. People are also beginning to look past the negative stigma around Pitbulls and realize their high intelligence and trainability, too.
Director of Operations at Universal K9 claims that out of the hundreds of dogs he has trained for police work, the Pitbull, Kiah, is one of the top three he has ever placed.
These dogs can be stubborn, though, meaning that you need to be firm and consistent with them. As long as you are in charge, your Boxer Pitbull Mix should pick up basic commands quickly. Make sure you do enough repetition and provide rewards and lots of praise.
As puppies, they are boisterous and energetic little characters. You will need to be assertive in order to get their focus.
Though these dogs have a short coat, they are moderate shedders and will require a good grooming session once a week. They will probably lose more fur in the Spring, from April through May, so it may be a good idea to brush her twice a week during these periods. Doing this will keep your dog's skin and coat healthy, and the hairs out of your carpet!
She will also need her ears checked monthly, either at the vet or with a reputable groomer.
While the majority of Boxers are healthy, they are at risk of an aggressive form of cancer called hemangiosarcoma, which occurs in the blood vessel cells. It can be difficult to detect, but signs can include weakness, a distended abdomen, difficulty breathing and weight loss. If you notice any of these symptoms in your dog, talk to your veterinarian as soon as possible, as this cancer can spread rapidly.
This condition consists of a malformation of the hip joint, where it is unstable or loose in the socket. The Orthopedic Foundation for Animals shows that this condition occurs in both breeds, although Pitbulls are more susceptible. Severe cases can lead to arthritic joints and lameness. Signs can include walking or running with an altered gait and reluctance to fully extend their rear legs or jump. Weight control helps enormously with this condition; keep her slim, as any excess weight will put stress on her joints.
The Boxer is prone to a heart problem called aortic stenosis, which in most cases of the disease the dog is born with. This disease causes narrowing of the aortic valve, which puts pressure on the heart. Symptoms can include rapid breathing or difficulty breathing, sudden loss of consciousness and congestive heart failure. If your vet picks up a heart murmur, the diagnosis can be confirmed with an X-ray and a cardiac ultrasound.
Pitbulls can have various allergies, so your Pitbull Boxer Mix may be susceptible. They can be treated with antihistamines, and in the case of skin irritation, you should use shampoos specifically designed for sensitive skin.
Are you a family with children without any older pets? Are you ready to dedicate your days to plenty of exercise and play with your new lively companion? Can you give her the consistent training she needs?
If the answer is yes to all of the above, you are more than ready to own a Pitbull Boxer Mix, and she will be more than happy to have you. If you're in two minds, there are plenty of other dogs who could be the perfect fit for you, so keep looking!
Have you got a Pitbull Boxer Mix and a story to share? Comment below!
A deaf dog that looks like a 1-year-oldish white haired, blue eyed pit bull/boxer mix showed up on our porch swing the other morning when there was a -3 wind chill. Had her posted on the local shelter site but no takers. We have a 11-year-old Chihuahua and 8-year-old Yorkie so keeping the new dog inside is not possible. We took her to our vet, who told us that she looked like a pit bull/boxer mix, and said that we could keep her outside as long as we provide a warm shelter for her in the cold weather. For a temporary measure we put a cardboard box with lots of pillows and blankets (warmed in the dryer) on the porch swing. It has since warmed up into the 40-50 range. She appears to be happy running around outside and sleeping on the porch swing near the now chewed up box. We have ordered a dog house for her and are having her spayed tomorrow. We are a late middle-aged couple but I hope to be able to walk with her at least once a day. I hope you can wish us well for rescuing her. Would appreciate ideas of what kinds of toys would be appropriate for her to play with while she's outside by herself as she has chewed up a quilted blanket, a towel and one of the cushions on the swing.
For any aggressive chewers, I recommend the Kong and dogzilla products. They are made for the aggressive chewers. You can also hide treats inside which will engage their mind. Hope this helps.
How is your pit boxer mix doing?
Pitties can be a handful for the first year. But they are such extraordinary dog, so loving and wanting to do good that we only want pitties now.
–Kong cone alone or better stuffed with treats like carrots, apples, part of her daily kebbles, coconut milk, coconut oil, 100% pumpkin filling, almonds, almond meal, flaxseed meal, chicken bits…..stuff your cone with any of those. Mix textures and find a good ratio of solid to liquid so you can freeze it and give it to her for play time, down time or when you leave the house.
-old leashes or old collars that you disgarded or were already chewed on (cut out hooks, snaps…). The extra tough woven texture is ideal for pups and it massages her teeth and gums, plus it is a safe toy and inexpensive.
–Himalayan woodblock for dogs to chew on like these. It very safe and extremely durable. Our dogs goes at it for hours, we have one we bought last summer on sale for $8 at Pet smart and it is still around!!!!
-buy for nearly nothing at a yard sale, clean them and take off the laces. Give her those to her as well so you can save yours.
-go to dog parks for extra socializing, play and workout.
-provide her with every textures she seems to go for. Just substitute the "no no chews" (doors, shoes, pillows….with "good girl chews" as mentioned above and old things you don't care about that are safe for her to chew on).
Try to be creative so you don't feel like your pet is more than you can handle. Social her as much as you can, with people, children, pets…. the more the meilleur. She is worth it and she will probably end up the best pet you ever had.
Bring the poor thing inside!! She's short haired, don't you want a coat?! I certainly would. That KILLS me. She's a smart and loving breed. They need love. And come on!!! My pit bull boxer mix sleeps with cats, arm over body, protector and lover. People like you who give that stigmatism screw it up by even writing that. Yuck.
Give her away to someone who won't give pit bulls the doubt. Disgusting.
They were bred to be Americas number one breed in the 50's back before ppl used them for fighting.
It's called loyal. Do your research. ED-U-CATE. Spread the word, don't defy it.
Get a toy that us made out of tire rubber,4 example, there r ones that have a middle if it put peanut butter in it,,should b entertained. 4 hrs,If u live in the Havlock area, Um a veterinarian,I would love to help, profit nonprofit org.
I have what I believe to be pitbull boxer mix. She was found in the Bronx streets starving skin and bones. We've nursed her back to health and is such a beautiful dog. High maintenance but worth it. I foster dogs and she is available for adoption. She is so appreciative for food shelter and companionship. It breaks my heart to think she was days from death. She is a special dog with special story andf deserves special adopter.
We just got one on Christmas Eve. She is 9 weeks old now. (Mia) Can't wait to get her outside!! Our last puppy died of Parvo which according to the vet she got it at 4-5 weeks (never had a chance) so I am taking extra precautions this time. No outside till shots are done. We have two cats….one of which plays with her (supervised of course) but so far all is well. Thanks for the encouragement! 🙂 Future is looking bright!
I hope this isn't to nosy,but where are you all from. My girl is about the same age as yours,but I got her from some random people of of Craigslist. Craigslist find made me a little worried, but she's proven to be an absolute gem. I'm kind of curious to find out more about her family. We are in Central Florida.
Also, she's a "Mel" too, but she's Melody instead of Melissa.
Haha 🙂 Nice Carolyn, thanks for sharing.
I have an 11 1/2 month old brindle pitbull/ boxer. I jus love her. We got her when she was 4 months old. Great family dog, phenomenal with all 3 of my boys, 11yrs old, 3 yr old, and 18 month old. She loves fetching the tennis ball(NOTE FROM EDITOR: Purchase from Amazon here). Full of energy! Shes my bisha boo!! Growing up ive had a boxer and pitbull , and with her being mixed..best of both worlds. Highly recommend one.
we have a pitbull boxer mix maybe 3 yrs old. got her from the boxer rescue. we also rescued a boxer male about 2 yrs old. the boxer pitbull mix (female) plays great with the boxer ( male) she has always been a little bit bossy with him. but plays well together. gradually she has gotten more aggressive with him ,especially when my husband and i are around them , like she does not want him around us. we do not like this behavior in her. any suggestions out there , she has started to attack him and aggressively fight .
We got our pit bull boxer at age 1 she is now a little over 3. She cannot be around other dogs or animals at all. She is very protective of our family and her home. She is a great family dog. We do not allow her around other animals because of this if you are a squirrel ,dog,cat ,or raccoon in the yard look out she will eat you! I know this is why she had 3 homes before she became ours. We have never been able to break her of this attitude with other animals, she is great with people! Good luck.
I have a pitbull/boxer mix puppy who is now 14 weeks old. I brought him home when he was six weeks, and he stole my heart the very first day! He earned the name Crash by that first evening, because that's what He did; he crashed through things and over things and under things lol… He is playful with tons of energy, and he's also sweet and cuddly. He has even won over our 14 year old pitbull and has him playing just like he was a puppy again himself. Definitely happy with our newest addition to the family!!!
I have a bull boxer puppy named Piper. I rescued her when she was about 3months. There was a history of deliberate abuse with her and it has taken 6 months to be able to reach for her and have her respond without fear. I have two seniors so it takes lots of interference from me during play. My yellow lab has adopted her and body blocks her from any perceived danger. She is delightful but a real handful as a puppy.
My boxer/pit brindle bundle of joy joined our family last July. The shelter was going to euthanize all bully breeds because of crowded conditions. I took off my cast (broken ankle) and drove 45 miles to rescue the best dog ever. Her markings were almost identical to my pit bull that passed in December from bone cancer. She submits to my 9 lb. chiweenie terror and loves the cat.
We have a Pitbull/Boxer mix named Deuce who we adopted from a local animal shelter called Saving Grace. He is about four months old right now and an amazingly smart and loving little guy.
Our three kids have been working on training him and it took hardly any time whatsoever. After about a month, he is almost fully potty trained to go only outdoors. After having him home for about a week, he was able to follow and obey the commands "come," "stay," "sit," my daughter taught him "high five," where he puts a paw up to meet your hand, and my son taught him "bang!" where he drops to the ground and rolls over on his back playing dead. It's so freakin adorable.
I've never had a more intelligent dog before. Of course, lots of healthy treats have aided the process, as he is highly food motivated. He also enjoys his Kong (NOTE FROM EDITOR: Purchase from Amazon here), which we fill with peanut butter and freeze overnight. The extra measure of freezing it provides more relief for his discomfort while teething, and also provides more mental stimulation because he has to work harder to get the peanut butter.
Despite all of the expensive, good quality toys we have purchased for him, he prefers old, used stuffed animals, cardboard boxes, and large sticks out in the backyard. He has also learned to fetch, retrieve, and return a ball and a frisbee (with treat rewards). He loves being outdoors more than just about anything.
He is cautious and careful around our elderly cat. He gets really excited to see the cat because he wants to play, but the cat doesn't want any part of that. So Deuce will run wide circles around the cat and/or get really low on the ground an inch his way towards the cat, but definitely stays out of his protective cat Bubble.
A favorite story of mine so far has been from when I was teaching him to fetch the ball and return. I would throw the tennis ball a short distance, he'd run after it and pick it up in his mouth and return it, and then drop it at my feet. I would immediately reward him with a small treat and then we'd do it all over again. One time while he was eating his treat, I was looking around the yard, lost in thought. Apparently he was ready to fetch again and I wasn't fast enough. He barked once, which got my attention so I looked back down at him at my feet. As soon as we made eye contact, he picked the ball up himself, ran with the ball in his mouth over to the spot where I was throwing it, dropped it in front of himself, picked it right back up, ran back to me, and dropped it at my feet. He got a "jackpot" reward for that cute little stunt!
Love this dog, but he definitely needs a lot of exercise, play, water, and attention. We are going to have to step up our game because he is beginning to get bored at certain parts of the day when not receiving attention, and doing behaviors like loud barking, chewing things that are not toys, and getting too aggressive with play, like lunging towards us and trying to put peoples hands in his mouth. Otherwise, all-around wonderful dog and perfect fit for our family.
I have a 3 year old female. I bought her from a low income shelter and fell in love with her right away. Unfortunately, I didn't really know what I was getting into and in the first week, she ate through all of her toys, my couch cushions, my pillow, and 3 pairs of shoes. With lots of work, training, and exercise, she is now a completely different dog. She only chews her toys and is fine being left out of her kennel while I'm away. I do sguest that if you do decide on this mix of dog that you crate train and stay active. While I have personally never had any issues with her attacking other animals, her prey drive is pretty strong and I have had to incorporate changing her focus from the stimulus in her training. These dogs are like most other dogs where if you know what you're doing, or seek help if you don't, they make wonderful companions.
I've always grown up around small dogs but I've always loved pits and bigger dogs. I just turned 18 and graduated and decided what better time to get me a little baby of my own and learn some responsibility? I looked around for months for a puppy and finally one of my friends found me a litter they were selling for 120 each. Best 120 I've ever spent. I picked out a boxer/ pit mix brindle male and couldn't have made a better choice.
October 2016 I rescued what her papers say is a Boxer Lab mix. I recently have come to believe she is a Pit Boxer. Around 4 years old. She is the sweetest girl ever! Very sociable with people and does well with certain dogs at occasional daycare. I am a moderately active 65 year old and I take her for regular walks but think she needs more. Gets a robust run in good size fenced in yard 3-4 times a week when she hears deer in forest outside our fence. Lease laws highly enforced in HOA and park so free runs are limited. We spend lots of cuddle time. Any recommendations to give her the best life possible?
Miko is my 6-year old Pit/Boxer mix, a black and white tuxedo girl. I've had her since she was 12 weeks old. The description of her breed is exactly her. She is a good girl. I've had to work with her and train her since puppyhood, along with the help of her surrogate brown nose pit bull mom, Jada, but it has been worth it. She can get overly excited but does listen. I show her lots of love and let her know when she has misbehaved.
I feel bad I leave Miko during the day to go to work. But she does have a gated yard to run around in, two dog houses and toys. She loves to bark & growl at people walking by…scares the heck out of them sometimes when she quietly saunters up behind them on the other side of the gate!
I just got a second Bullboxer. Her name is "Nyx" .. and at almost 8 weeks old.. she is a little goof ball. I have already fallen for her. And my parents Love her as well..
my boys come over and rough house with the pair of them, and they absolutely love the attention. And being in a wheelchair for the last 24 yrs it makes it a little hard for me to exercise them in the same fashion. So it's a godsend that my boys come over and play with the girls. Clio is so patient with Nyx (especially since there is a 3 yr age difference. And it looks like she is starting to become the big sister that I was hoping her to be for Nyx as well. She watches over Nyx in the backyard when its "potty" or "Play time" so I don't have to go outside in the evening chill all the time.
I've owned mix breeds and Full breeds of Rotties, Bernards, Sharpee's, And Labs.
I'm new to the pit boxer owner family. In fact I found this site doing some research on our 5 month old addition Major. He is a love ball of crazy but we love him. Nobody was prepared for the amount of affection he had to give,but we quickly learned. When I got him 2 months ago he had a broken leg and tail. I had to give a lot of hands on care that has made him quite and attached . I'm looking for a way to brake this without him ever feeling abandoned. This is his forever home.
Rescued my Jackson in 2009, when my husband had passed away. He was 1 1/2 already and already trained, so I didn't even have to housebreak him. Wow! I did not realize the energy boxers have! I love exercise anyway, so we usually take a daily walk. This winter has been so brutal, I have been throwing his ball inside, but his hips seem to bother him, whether he lays around too much ( my fault) or goes up and down the stairs after the ball. He will be 10 1/5 this May. Hope he has a few years left?
Why no older pets? We have a nine year old Miniature Schnauzer male that seems a bit depressed after us losing our second dog to illness. We are looking for a puppy. However do not want him to be a threat to each other.
I adopted a Pitt/boxer mix in Sept from Florida. He is 6 survivor 2times of cancer and had his eardrums removed in Feb. He has been receiving dog food from chewy which started grain free. He stopped eating it even with mixers. Ordered chicken and brown rice still won't eat so we got beef and brown rice . Nothing. Even mixing the food adding mixers or graveyard. He has to eat. Also he has severe separation anxiety and an extreme cat aggression . Since he's deaf I'm having a hard time training him. He's so smart and my whole world I just need help.
Thanksgiving 2017 so she's 8 weeks…..we have a 4yr old terrier mix for right now (planning to give him away). I need all the tips I can get to make sure me and this beautiful sweet baby succeed.
I have a cat, is this going to be a problem if I get a puppy??
I have recently adopted a 1yr old male brindle pitoxer and am absolutely in love! We have lots of nylabone, Kong and antler toys and this keeps him from chewing other not so good or wanted items. He is a warm, sensitive loving boy with a crap ton of energy! A 2 mile hike in the woods doesn't even tire him out! He loves everyone in the home and whoever comes to visit like they are members of his pack and lets them know his feelings by picking one of his toys and laying all over them to chew, lol!
One of the best things in training him and socialization is that he ADORES ice cubes! He will play with them and slide them around with his face or even likes to "Bob" for them in his water dish, ha! A year and a half ago I had to put down my wonderful pit who was the "baby" of the family and it took me a long time to recover from that loss. Having said that, "Chewie" has filled that hole in my heart plus some and I am so excited for all of our upcoming adventures and memories! Love love love my Chewie!
Our pit/boxer (Baby) is 11 uears old, she is the best dog (family member) we jave ever had. She is swert, kind, gentle and so smart. My 86 year old Dad came to live with us and these two are best friends.

ISP Privacy Lab Publishes Research on Hidden Trackers

On November 24, 2017, Privacy Lab, an initiative of the Information Society Project at Yale Law School, published details from its research into 25 trackers hidden inside popular Google Play apps such as Uber, Tinder, Skype, Twitter, Spotify, and Snapchat. Publication of this information reveals clandestine surveillance software that is unknown to Android users at the time of app installation, according to the research. These trackers vary in their features and purpose, but are primarily utilized for targeted advertising, behavioral analytics, and location tracking, according to the Privacy Lab.
The Privacy Lab investigation was spearheaded by Sean O'Brien and Michael Kwet, both visiting fellows at the Information Society Project. O'Brien and Kwet provided forensic analysis of app software in conjunction with the tools developed by Exodus Privacy, a non-profit organization in France. They also provided detailed reports on the most popular app trackers identified by Exodus. These reports reveal the interconnections and surveillance practices occurring in the background of many popular apps.
"Exodus initiated a daring attempt to catalog these trackers, and this is just the first step in analyzing a worldwide market of approximately 3.3 million apps from a privacy and security perspective," said Privacy Lab researcher Sean O'Brien.
"The existence of trackers in app software is a grave threat to privacy," said Privacy Lab researcher Michael Kwet. "There has been almost no transparency to the public."
The 25 trackers are a sample of the 44 identified-to-date by security researchers at Exodus Privacy. Privacy Lab's investigation into app trackers explores an extensive data mining market buried within the mobile app ecosystem. The research suggests that trackers enable the physical surveillance needed to merge the online and offline worlds of targeted advertising. Trackers also help marketers identify individuals across devices in order to build persistent profiles despite the use of separate devices.
Privacy Lab found that marketers are increasing the scope of their real-world surveillance through precise location tracking in physical space. Companies are making use of WiFi, Bluetooth, and in some instances, ultrasonic sound inaudible to the human ear, in order to track users' geolocations in real time. Major players like Google and Oath now offer services to track in-store behavior, while smaller players like Fidzup have developed cutting-edge technologies for WiFi and ultrasonic solutions, according to the data.
This investigation revealed that Google, in its role as steward of the Google Play app store, has permitted the distribution of clandestine tracking software to Android users. Google offers its own DoubleClick and Crashlytics trackers for mobile apps, the two most popular trackers analyzed by Exodus Privacy and Privacy Lab. Many of these trackers are also available in the Apple iOS app store, though technical and legal barriers limit privacy and security analysis.
Exodus' web-based privacy auditing platform analyzes apps available via Google Play. Exodus scans apps for the signatures of known trackers and identifies Android operating system permissions. To coincide with Privacy Lab's publication, the Exodus organization has made its app auditing platform available to the public at https://exodus-privacy.eu.org/and is releasing the code as Free and Open-Source Software.
"Privacy Lab is calling upon the developers of mobile apps as well as Google, the distributor of these apps and steward of Google Play, for increased transparency into privacy and security practice as it relates to these trackers," said O'Brien. "Privacy Lab recommends Free and Open-Source Software F-Droid as an alternative to Google Play, due to its trusted chain of software development, distribution, and installation that does not include unknown or masked third-party code."
The Information Society Project (ISP) is an intellectual center at Yale Law School. It supports a community of interdisciplinary scholars who explore issues at the intersection of law, technology, and society.

Sing a song for the Indigibabes who make acrylic shine like diamonds, and $10 mucklucks that they lifted (see also: liberated and repatriated) from Ardene's look so good, they might as well have been handed down from the ancestors. Sing for the girlies who walk through city streets with a stride so assured of their ownership over urban territories, as if they have the ancestors backing every single step. For the concrete roses who see the beauty in the grime and grit.

Most manufacturers in developing countries produce goods to designs obtained from external sources. Suppliers of large companies and governmental organizations obtain their designs from their customers. Manufacturers of general consumer products either operate under license from developed countries or copy the designs of imported products. The bulk of the developing countries export products are produced as per designs, patterns or samples supplied by overseas customers.
Only a very small number of companies, mainly in the large-scale sector, are able to design and develop products on the basis of their customer's broad specifications. So, the overwhelming majority of exporters in developing countries, the appropriate standard is ISO 9002, which does not cover design control. However, for companies that have built up a competence in design and development in a particular area of technology, ISO 9001 applies.
One should realize that contracts for developing and producing equipment are normally awarded by large user organizations, or by major manufacturers subcontracting the development and supply of subsystems for their equipment. Such customers will have the competence to assess the design capability of potential suppliers.
Since design is important to the quality of an end-product, no-customer will accept inadequate design control measures from companies entrusted with design jobs. So, if companies in developing countries are to compete for design and development contracts in the international market, they will have to establish quality systems incorporating design control measures complying with the ISO 9000 standard.
This chapter provides rules on various elements of design control. It should be noted. So, that the guidelines focus on comparatively large enterprise designing major equipment. Some activities may not apply to small design teams producing simple designs and it may be possible for such teams of group some of the other activities specified. Furthermore, some small companies subcontract their design and verification activities to other organizations. The rules given in this chapter should enable design organizations in differing situations to adopt activities meeting their specific needs.
The documentation of design control activities should be kept as simple as possible, taking into account the complexity of the design covered and contractual needs.
The product-development cycle starts with an assessment of customers' needs and ends when the design is released for bulk production. The main steps in the development cycle are listed below.
Formulation of design statements changing into customer or market requirements into quality parameters expressed in quantified technical terms as far as possible.
Design of the preliminary configuration, containing specification of assemblies, subassemblies and major components.
Modification of the design on the basis of the design review and production of one or more prototypes.
Testing and evaluation of the prototypes, including field trials under actual usage conditions of ISO 9001 certification.
Modification of the design if required, and production and testing of the modified prototypes.
Finalization of design documents which should also define tolerances and preparation of complete product specifications including a test schedule incorporating conformity criteria.
Pilot production testing and final design review.
Adjustment of the design on the basis of the design review and release of the design for bulk production.
It should be noted that there is no rigid line of demarcation between different steps specified above. Some steps may overlap and others may be skipped depending on the nature of the product and other factors.
Minor short-range projects such as design improvement of existing products. These may be initiated in response to production problems or complaints from customers.
Major products such as the design of new models of the company's range of products and design contracts executed on behalf of customers. In companies with a comparatively large design department, it is advisable to have separate design groups, one for each project category. Although both types of project may normally follow the same development sequence, their working procedures are likely to be different.
The main input for the design improvement group will come from the production, engineering and quality-control departments. In most cases this job will be entrusted to a composite task force drawn from all the departments concerned.
For new models or design contracts, the R&D department will have primary responsibility and the freedom to develop the designs needed. Input from other departments will come at specific stages such as during design reviews or whenever R&D needs their helps.
Sequential and parallel work schedules indicating time periods for different activities and points at which progress should be monitored.
Design verification criteria and activities.
Evaluation of safety, performance and reliability.
Product inspection and testing; acceptance criteria.
Cost estimates for various activities and hardware, whether manufactured in-house or obtained from outside sources.
Design planners should be aware of the existence of other plans and verification procedures for the execution of the contract and integrate these into the overall quality system.
Marketing : clarification of customer specifications or advice on trade-offs between conflicting requirements.
Purchasing : availability of and cost estimates for alternative materials or components.
Technology (materials) : advice on special characteristics of materials testing reports of test laboratories.
Reliability: data on the reliability of components and systems; special reliability tests.
Manufacturing : process capability of existing machinery, advice on the case with which components or systems can be or produced, advice on tolerances in design documents.
Quality assurance: quality problems in existing products, advice on the case with which various quality parameters can be verified at appropriate storage.
The standard needs design outputs to be expressed and documented in terms of needs which can be validated and verified against design input requirements. In the case of hardware and processed materials, the design output will consist of design drawings, product specifications, chemical formulations or process instructions.
It is a formal, documented, systematic and critical review to evaluate the design at the end of each phase of design and development. This should not be confused with the project progress meeting, which has a different function. The design review is carried out by persons not directly involved in the development work. The participants in the design review should contain representatives from all groups with functions affecting quality as appropriate to the phase being reviewed.
The purpose of design reviews to decide whether the proposed design solution meets design requirements. It should continue or whether it should be changed before proceeding to the next phase. Normally more than one design review is conducted during the development phase of the product.
Does the design satisfy all specified product or service needs?
Have safety considerations, unintended uses and misuses been covered?
Have appropriate materials and facilities been selected?
Is the design satisfactory for all anticipated environmental and load conditions?
What are the assumptions made during the design process and what is their validity?
Where computer software has been used for design computation, modelling or analysis, has the software (and its configuration control) been appropriately tested?
The design review is not meant to be an external audit or fault-finding exercise. It should not be used as an opportunity for representatives of other functional groups to score points or highlight the shortcomings of the design group. The review team should have a positive and objective approach and give due weight to the views of the design group.
The standard requires the design review to be documented. It is advisable to record the design review in the form of a report rather than as minutes of a review meeting. The report should present the agreed viewpoint of the review team and may include.
The criteria against which the design has been reviewed.
The list of design documents reviewed.
Observations of the review team and recommendations for corrective action if any.
The decision on whether design is to proceed to the next phase.
The standard implies (but does not state) that the corrective action resulting from the design review should be pursued until the reported problem has been resolved.
The 1994 version of ISO 9001 needs design validation to be performed to make that the product conforms to defined user needs. Design validation should be distinguished from design verification, which determines conformance of the design output to the design specification generated internally by the design team.
Normally design validation is carried out by qualification testing and user trials of a few samples of the product, which are subjected to accelerated testing in the laboratory under harsh environmental and usage conditions.
This is one of the most tedious and difficult phases of design. However, the quality of the finished product will really depend on the correctness and completeness of the manufacturing drawings and specifications on which production will be based. Any inaccuracy in the drawings will be reflected in the product because manufacturers look to the drawings for guidance and not to the approved prototype.
It is therefore imperative that the drawings truly reflect the final design as it emerged from the evaluation studies. Even when the drawings are a precise reflection of the approved prototype, problems may arise. With the best of technology and machines, no two products can be exactly alike. Most of the manufacturing company needs ISO 9001 Certification.
This raises the problem of tolerances, which are an important part of the manufacturing drawings. It is commonly assumed that tolerances of different components are selected for sound technological reasons and are as wide as possible. Unfortunately, this is not always the case, Designers tend to mention closer tolerances than are necessary, just to play it safe. There is a similar tendency in the choice of materials and surface finishes. Careful consideration should be given to the specification of optimal tolerance levels. Although tolerancing is primarily the designers prerogative, production and quality engineers with their intimate knowledge of the capabilities of various production processes can be of immense help.
Errors of omission (e.g. in calculation, drafting or because of inaccurate specifications for materials.
Non-availability of certain in raw materials.
Manufacturing difficulties in bulk production.
Requests for changes from the subcontractor or customer.
Need for improving functional or performance aspects.
Changes in safety, regulatory or other needs.
Changes in process procedures or process equipment.
Any requests for changes in the design should be properly recorded. There should be documented procedures for considering and reviewing the proposed modifications and their effect on the approved design as well as in functional areas such as manufacturing, inspection and marketing. The documents responsible for these functions must be provided with the opportunity to comment on the proposed changes. Their implications for the entire product must be carefully studied. Significant changes may need re-verification of the design. When all factors have been considered and a design change is warranted, it must be approved by the designated authority. There must be procedures for communicating authorized changes to the affected departments and for amending the documents held by them.

IRINA WITH A FRENCH ACCENT
Irina Björklund's brand new 4th album is called La vie est une fête (photo by Richard Dumas)
International actress and singer-songwriter Irina Björklund has appeared in over 50 films and TV shows and released four albums. In the Hollywood thriller the American she played opposite to George Clooney and in the war film Ambush she was paired with her true life husband, actor Peter Franzén.
For 14 years the couple was a familiar sight in the L.A. artistic circles. Many in the Finnish community went to see Irina perform on stage at the Hotel Café in Hollywood. She would sing songs from her albums and play the saw. Irina Björklund and Peter Franzén were also regular stars at the annual Scandinavian Film Festival in Beverly Hills, where many of their movies were shown.
A year ago the couple, along with their 7 year-old son Diego, moved to Southern France. Her latest album is called La vie est une fête. Exclusively to Finntimes Irina Björklund now talks about her new album and life in France.

1) La vie est une fête is the name of your latest album. It consists of Finnish songs from 1940 to 2012 that you have translated into French. Tell me about this album?
A few years ago, while still living in LA, one of my favorite song writers, Timo Kiiskinen contacted me, asking whether I would be interested in recording one of his songs, Kaiken Nähnyt, in French, one day. That triggered an idea in me: why not translate a selection of my own favorite Finnish songs through time to French language? So I started doing it, and asked the producer of one of my favorite French bands, Nouvelle Vague, to produce it – Marc Collin, along with the band's singer, Liset Alea. Them having a 100% objective view and not knowing any of the tunes before, said it was like "opening a treasure chest of untouched pearls" that the world hadn't heard before. That, to me, proved that Finland has some absolutely gorgeous, international caliber tunes, that have only been held back by language barriers. The arrangements of the album are the result of a truly international collaboration – my Finnish band along with French Marc Collin, and Cuban Liset Alea. To my great delight, my favorite French label, Naïve Records (Pink Martini, Carla Bruni, Tanita Tikaram) embraced the idea, and is now releasing the album world wide.
In this caption Irina Björklund is performing the song La vie est une fête by Samuli Putro in a music video directed by Maarit Lalli and photographed by Rauno Ronkainen.
2) In the video for the title song you are laying on sawdust in a circus tent, dressed as a circus performer as camels walk by – tell us about this video and its production?
The title song, La vie est une fête (= Life is a party, originally Elämä on juhla by brilliant song writer Samuli Putro) , describes in one song a human's life, from birth to the last breath, in a nut shell. Just an amazing text, sharp and honest as a razor. For the video, it gave me the idea of showing a dying person, going through her life in flashes. I find the circus ambience visually entrancing… and just thought of this idea of a tightrope walker who have slipped off her rope… together with Pete Eklund, my partner in crime at my Finnish label Kaiho Republic. Circus Finlandia gave us the beautiful tools to make the video happen. And director Maarit Lalli along with DP Rauno Ronkainen gave it life.

3) Are you performing songs from this album to live audiences in France, Finland or elsewhere and do you have future plans of performing them – if so, what has the reception been like?
Yes, we have been doing quite a few live concerts in Finland – the album has done amazing in Finland, and to my great awe the concerts have been sold out – what a treat to be performing for full venues – very gratifying. We are still starting out with the international scene, but have so far performed in France a couple of times – the international release was depending on the French critics, so I was happy to find out it made the cut, and that the French liked what they heard.
4) In Los Angeles you collaborated with Peter Fox on your previous albums – is he still in the picture or have you found new collaborators in France?
Peter Fox and I stay in contact, and the songs we created live on (currently in commercials in Finland and such) – however the distance between us makes active collaboration hard – he lives in New York now, and me in France. But I simply see us as in being on hiatus – I'm sure we'll find an opportunity to work together again.

5) Do you play the saw on this album?
The saw is on hiatus for this album, too – however, I like to bring it out now and then during live shows, for a song or two.
6) You have released four albums now but many people don't know about your music career – what about your collaborations?
I have collaborated on quite a few albums or soundtracks as either a composer, singer or saw player with artists/bands such as Miranda Lee Richards, Garbage, Samuli Edelmann, Olavi Uusivirta, Latebirds, Edu Kettunen, Mikko Kuustonen, Phoebe Killdeer & the Shortstraws to mention a few.
Last year Irina Björklund and family moved to South of France. (photo by Jonny Kahleyn Dieb)
7) I think many people were taken by surprise that about a year ago you and your family packed up after 14 years in L.A. and moved to South of France – why did you make the big move?
We just finally woke up to the fact, that LA is extremely far away from family and work in Europe – something had to be done for the family's sake. And my French record deal had a lot to do with it – I also wanted to be available when my big dream of releasing an album in France suddenly came true. And honestly – we're quite conveniently located for traveling everywhere now – I've been working a lot in New York and Finland this last year. Not too far for going anywhere, really. We do visit LA regularly for work and friends, too.

8) How is life treating you in France in terms of work, people, friendships and what do you like and dislike about living there?
Even if I spent years of my childhood/teen years in France, everything is still new what comes to the region we live in, work scenes, friendships etc. But we take a day at the time, and are enjoying pretty much everything except the French traffic habits. Not that I very much enjoyed LA traffic, either:)
9) How have Peter and Diego settled in France?
I couldn't be prouder of them – after all, the French language wasn't new to me, and they are the ones who must work the most.

11) What are your future plans – any new movies in the works?
This year I've spent a lot of time in New York shooting a film by Emilia Ferreira – The Erotic Fire of the Unattainable. I was lucky to work with brilliant and fun actors such as Harry Hamlin, Kevin Kilner, Caprice Benedetti, Edoardo Ballerini and Margot Bingham.
I'm also preparing to play the lead in a Finnish/European movie about a historically important Finnish lady – Aurora Karamzin. The movie is to be directed by Maarit Lalli, who also directed my music video.
12) What would you like to say to your friends and fans in Los Angeles?
Happy Thanksgiving!! Merry Christmas!! …..and hope to see you very very soon, again!!!

SIX LIVES OF GABRIELLA NEJMAN
Gabriella Nejman as Mrs. Helen Alving in Henrik Ibsen's 'Ghosts'.
REPORTER: TOMI HINKKANEN – WEST HOLLYWOOD
PHOTOS: JONNY KAHLEYN
Gabriella Nejman is a lovely and talented 22 year old Finnish actress with an unusual background. Her mother is from Finland and father from Israel. Gabriella has lived in six countries. She is a classically trained dancer, who moved to Los Angeles a year ago to pursue an acting career. For the past year she has studied at the renowned Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute in West Hollywood. Finntimes recently met with Gabriella and her mother Outi, as the young actress made her theatrical debut at her school's production of Henrik Ibsen's Ghosts.
Gabriella Nejman can truly be called a citizen of the world, she speaks English, Finnish and Hebrew.
She was born in Helsinki, Finland, and at the age of a year and a half moved to Israel. She also lived in South Africa, New Zealand and at the age of 17 she moved to Australia. Gabriella studied dancing at Dance World Studios in Melbourne. Then, when Gabriella was 19 she moved back to Israel. She took dance classes and met choreographers and they booked her for various events. She was in a production for six months, dancing and touring in a production called iFestigal. She describes the production as an amazing experience performing four shows a day.
Gabriella with her mother Outi in the green room after the performance of Ghosts.
Were you always interested in dancing and acting?
"Since I was 15 I wanted to be a professional dancer. So, I went to train full time. I only saw myself as a dancer at the time. Everywhere I went it was dance, dance, dance. I was trained at Classical Ballet, Jazz, Contemporary, Hip Hop and Tap, I did some Salsa and Flamenco as well. It was only after I turned 18 that I discovered I wanted to be an actress. It happened while I was in Australia training to be a professional dancer. I went to a performing art school. We had singing, drama and other classes aside from dancing as well."
Gabriella's great uncle was a famous Finnish actor Pekka Niskanen.
Gabriella shows a picture of her great uncle, Pekka Niskanen.
Gabriella tears up when the discussion turns to her beloved late grandfather Yrjö Niskanen. When she visited his house in Kuopio, she found an old photo album that had belonged to her great uncle, Pekka Niskanen.
"I saw the book and suddenly I recollected my grandfather always showing me that photo album as a child. It had pictures of different roles my great uncle was in – Romeo and Juliet, pictures of him in the theater and postcards made of him. They are beautiful pictures. I realize now that my grandfather was always hinting that acting has always been in my blood."
The Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute in West Hollywood.
How did you come to study acting here at Lee Strasberg?
"Well, I did my research before I came here. I went to see different acting schools just to get a feel of which one would suit me the best. When I came here, I audited a class – a method class taught by M. J. Karmi.
A French man, Louis-Karim Nébati, who plays Pastor Manders in Ghosts, was on stage that day. He did a monologue about a rapist that I will never forget. He was living it. I believed every single word he said. I got so involved with it that I said to myself, I want to come here."

Gabriella made her theatrical debut in August at her school. Tell me about the production of Henrik Ibsen's Ghosts?
"We started rehearsing seven weeks prior. First there was quite a big round of auditions for this. We had to prepare a monologue by Anton Chekhov or Tennessee Williams – one of the classics. I did a monologue from Uncle Vanya by Chekov. I did Sonya as an audition and got a call-back the next day. 20 girls and 10 boys. I got sides got sides for Mrs. Alving but also for Regina Engstrand. I went to the audition thinking I would be playing Regina. Then the director told me I would be playing Mrs. Alving (the female lead). I was thrilled."
In the play, Gabriella plays a middle-aged woman, although she is only 22. Her birthday was April 5th. Amazingly, she pulls it off with flying colors. Her mannerisms, the way she talks and carries herself are all that of a 50 year old woman.
In Ghosts, Gabriella had to portray a middle-aged woman.
How did you prepare yourself to play a middle-aged woman?
"I started to understand my character by breaking down the whole elements of who is Mrs. Alving – what has she gone through. I created her back story. Then, to be honest, my mother is that age. I was observing her – her actions. I am wearing her earrings right now to feel I am an older lady. That's my secret!"
After seven weeks of rehearsals, the play was performed for three times only. Do you learn lines quickly?
"I learned the 78 pages with great joy."
Gabriella emulated her mother and even wore her earrings to be able to play a middle-aged woman.
Tell me about studying at Lee Strasberg?
"Well, my first semester, I was in uncharted waters. I had no idea what relaxation and sensory was. In the first class we did the coffee cup exercise – getting the sense of the smell, weight, temperature, who's the first person that comes to mind…these tools have become second nature to me now, and I will live and continue to grow as an actress within this working process each day. I'm so very grateful to learn and understand this 'method venue', and as actors, I realize our true size as artists is never finished; we simply develop more understanding and skill, as we continue to enjoy and survive real life.
Gabriella Nejman and Louis-Karim Nébati in Ghosts (photo Lee Strasberg Institute)
The method class is four hours long. The first two hours we do relaxation and sensory. We relax the body. Sensory consists of different exercises. Then we do scenes from different plays. I'm here from Monday 'til Friday. Some days I'm here from 9.30 am to 11 pm. Others are shorter days."
"I live in West Los Angeles area with my boyfriend he was a soccer player and now is studying finance and business at Santa Monica College."
Gabriella Nejman with boyfriend Yarin Ohayon.
When she is not acting, Gabriella likes to dance.
"I did a performance not long ago for the EOTM awards here in LA. It was for upcoming artists. I also just joined a dance company called Keshet Chaim Dance Ensemble in Los Angeles."
Cosmopolitan Gabriella is now on her sixth country. What are your future plans?
"I really want to stay in LA. This is my sixth country. I like it here, I love the people and the weather is perfect. Opportunities are here and I fell in love with this school."
How often do you see your family?
My family visits me often and I normally go to Finland in the mid summer for Juhannus.
But no matter how many countries I've lived in, the one place where I have a base is Kuopio. That house was built by my grandfather's father and mother. They lived there. I'm very much influenced by their heritage and by the Finnish culture. It is something I put in this play.
Finntimes wishes Gabriella all the best in her life and acting career. Something tells us we are going to hear from this young, lovely and talented woman in the future!

Phaedra Parks Is Officially Divorced From Apollo Nida!
Phaedra Parks' marriage to Apollo Nida has officially come to an end. The Real Housewives of Atlanta star confirmed that her divorce is finalized during a recent appearance on TMZ's Raq Rants (see clip below).
Meanwhile, Apollo's camp told TMZ that "if the divorce is truly finalized, it's news to him."
Though Phaedra said during her interview with Raq Rants that she doesn't miss Apollo, the two stay in constant communication as he serves out his sentence at FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey, the same prison where The Real Housewives of New Jersey's Joe Giudice is serving his 41-month sentence. "I mean, we are parents together, so we talk frequently," Phaedra said on Raq Rants.
Phaedra said Ayden and Dylan are "doing very well" these days, but there are no plans to have them visit their father in prison anytime soon. "I can't say what I'm gonna do, but at this point in time, it's not in our schedule," she said.
Now that Phaedra is single, she's not exactly ready to mingle. "I don't know if I'm saying that I'm actually looking. I mean, I'm open to it, but that's not at the top of my list," Phaedra revealed. "I think it works better when it happens sort of naturally. I think when people are looking for men, that's where they look and get into trouble."
As a lawyer, mortician, and political activist, Phaedra doesn't really have much time to date, either. "Yes, I do have lots of jobs," she said on Raq Rants. "That's why I don't have time trying to run around dating because I'm trying to get them coins."
But would Phaedra ever consider rekindling her romance with Apollo in the future? "I never say never, but in this case, I don't think that would be a possibility," Phaedra explained. "At the end of the day, we're friends and we have our kids together, so we'll always be friends. We'll always have a relationship."

Hi, my name is Jenn Ski, I'm an illustrator, decorator and everything in between. Please take a look around!
One of my readers finally spotted my scrapbooking line at Michael's. Hooray!
"I found your awesome K&Company designs at Michael's this weekend and actually did a little happy dance right there in the aisle. I can't wait to create with them. I bought the fun alphabet flash cards as Easter gifts for my nieces and nephews."
I guess it's time I made the drive accross town to our only Michaels. I can't wait to see it.
Congratulations! You are my god, Jenn Ski. Just keep doing what you're doing!
This must be exciting for you! My girlfriend is into scrap-booking, so I'll have to let her know about your work. Very cool, Ski.
I just checked our Michaels last week and was totally frustrated - maybe I was too early. I'll check back...because I Really Want These!
those are wonderful! Congratulations. What an exciting venture.
Here's the first card I made using your products for my niece's 2nd birthday. So very fun.
eHi! I had to find your website and blog after I got your awesome stamp set. The graphics are amazing. One question: What is the X (looks like a frog) - after going to Wiki, is it "Xenopus laevis"?
You know I have no idea what the x is? The K&company team cooked that one up.
Yay! I just found your items in my local store. I had such a hard time choosing, because I wanted everything, and really shouldn't be buying *anything*! I ended up with the Alphabet cards and the chipboard figures. They are so cute; I'm thinking of using them in my office as inspiration! Thanks JennSki!

From the scientist duo behind True or Poo?, their original New York Times bestselling sensation--a scientifically precise, fully illustrated, utterly hilarious guide to animal flatulence. Dogs do it. Millipedes do it. Dinosaurs did it. You do it. I do it. Octopuses don't (and nor do octopi). Spiders might do it: more research is needed. Birds don't do it, but they could if they wanted to. Herrings do it to communicate with each other. In 2017 zoologist Dani Rabaiotti's teenage brother asked her a most teenaged question: Do snakes fart? Stumped, Rabaiotti turned to Twitter. The internet did not disappoint. Her innocent question spawned the hashtag #doesitfart and it spread like a noxious gas. Dozens of noted experts began weighing in on which animals do and don't fart, and if they do, how much, how often, what it's made of, what it smells like, and why. Clearly, the public demands more information on animal farts. Does it Fart? fills that void: a fully authoritative, fully illustrated guide to animal flatulence, covering the habits of 80 animals in more detail than you ever knew you needed. What do hyena farts smell especially bad? What is a fossa, and does it fart? Why do clams vomit but not fart? And what is a fart, really? Pairing hilarious illustrations with surprisingly detailed scientific explanations, Does it Fart? will allow you to shift the blame onto all kinds of unlikely animals for years to come.
Tales from the Gas Station: Volume Three
Publisher : Jack Townsend
An army of monsters walks among us, hidden in plain sight. They're fast. They're strong. They're unrelenting. And they only want one thing: the gas station at the edge of town. Coming as a surprise to absolutely no one, Jack—night-shift clerk and local crazy person—has found himself neck-deep in the middle of yet another world-ending terror. And this time around, nobody can be trusted. Not that tough-as-nails cop who probably knows a lot more than she's letting on. Not the adorkable new employee who might be something far less innocent than she appears. Not even Jack's best friend/emotional support human, whose mysterious past seems to have finally caught up with him. In this latest installment of the Gas Station saga, Jack's world will change forever. Questions will be answered, and answers will be questioned. Friends become enemies. Strangers become enemies. Frenemies become enemies. (You know what? Jack is going to have a lot of new enemies.) Prepare yourself. Things are about to get weird.

50 years of an iconic classic! This international bestseller and inspiration for a beloved movie is a heroic story of friendship and belonging. No one ever said life was easy. But Ponyboy is pretty sure that he's got things figured out. He knows that he can count on his brothers, Darry and Sodapop. And he knows that he can count on his friends—true friends who would do anything for him, like Johnny and Two-Bit. But not on much else besides trouble with the Socs, a vicious gang of rich kids whose idea of a good time is beating up on "greasers" like Ponyboy. At least he knows what to expect—until the night someone takes things too far. The Outsiders is a dramatic and enduring work of fiction that laid the groundwork for the YA genre. S. E. Hinton's classic story of a boy who finds himself on the outskirts of regular society remains as powerful today as it was the day it was first published.

Who Cut the Cheese?
Author : Jim Dawson
Publisher : Ten Speed Press
We've told you HOW TO SHIT IN THE WOODS. We've taken you UP SHIT CREEK. Now, we dare to ask the eternal question...WHO CUT THE CHEESE? Which is to say, what exactly is a fart? Why do we do it? Why do we hide it when we do it? And why do we find farts so darn funny? A cut above anything else on the subject, this book really lets go and tells all, getting to the bottom of these mysteries. Author Jim sniffs out a load of historical and scientific fart tales, then offers the kind of fun facts you'll be dying to let slip at social occasions, in chapters like "Fart Facts That Aren't Just Hot Air," "Gone with the Wind" (on famous movie farts), and "Le Petomane & the Art of the Fart" (on the most famous windbag in history). From fact to fiction to frivolous flatulence, this book is unquestionably a ripping good read.
Author : Tim Cook
Publisher : UBC Press
Category : History
Historians of the First World War have often dismissed the important role of poison gas in the battles of the Western Front. Tim Cook shows that the serious threat of gas did not disappear with the introduction of gas masks. By 1918, gas shells were used by all armies to deluge the battlefield, and those not instructed with a sound anti-gas doctrine left themselves exposed to this new chemical plague.This book provides a challenging re-examination of the function of gas warfare in the First World War, including its important role in delivering victory in the campaign of 1918 and its curious postwar legacy.
Inside the Gas Chambers
Author : Shlomo Venezia
This is a unique, eye-witness account of everyday life right at the heart of the Nazi extermination machine. Slomo Venezia was born into a poor Jewish-Italian community living in Thessaloniki, Greece. At first, the occupying Italians protected his family; but when the Germans invaded, the Venezias were deported to Auschwitz. His mother and sisters disappeared on arrival, and he learned, at first with disbelief, that they had almost certainly been gassed. Given the chance to earn a little extra bread, he agreed to become a 'Sonderkommando', without realising what this entailed. He soon found himself a member of the 'special unit' responsible for removing the corpses from the gas chambers and burning their bodies. Dispassionately, he details the grim round of daily tasks, evokes the terror inspired by the man in charge of the crematoria, 'Angel of Death' Otto Moll, and recounts the attempts made by some of the prisoners to escape, including the revolt of October 1944. It is usual to imagine that none of those who went into the gas chambers at Auschwitz ever emerged to tell their tale - but, as a member of a 'Sonderkommando', Shlomo Venezia was given this horrific privilege. He knew that, having witnessed the unspeakable, he in turn would probably be eliminated by the SS in case he ever told his tale. He survived: this is his story. Published in association with the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.
We Don't Eat Our Classmates

Publisher : Disney Electronic Content

That is, until Penelope gets a taste of her own medicine and finds she may not be at the top of the food chain after all. . . . Readers will gobble up this hilarious new story from award-winning author-illustrator Ryan T. Higgins.
Regulation of Tissue Oxygenation, Second Edition
Author : Roland N. Pittman
Publisher : Biota Publishing
Category : Medical
This presentation describes various aspects of the regulation of tissue oxygenation, including the roles of the circulatory system, respiratory system, and blood, the carrier of oxygen within these components of the cardiorespiratory system. The respiratory system takes oxygen from the atmosphere and transports it by diffusion from the air in the alveoli to the blood flowing through the pulmonary capillaries. The cardiovascular system then moves the oxygenated blood from the heart to the microcirculation of the various organs by convection, where oxygen is released from hemoglobin in the red blood cells and moves to the parenchymal cells of each tissue by diffusion. Oxygen that has diffused into cells is then utilized in the mitochondria to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the energy currency of all cells. The mitochondria are able to produce ATP until the oxygen tension or PO2 on the cell surface falls to a critical level of about 4–5 mm Hg. Thus, in order to meet the energetic needs of cells, it is important to maintain a continuous supply of oxygen to the mitochondria at or above the critical PO2 . In order to accomplish this desired outcome, the cardiorespiratory system, including the blood, must be capable of regulation to ensure survival of all tissues under a wide range of circumstances. The purpose of this presentation is to provide basic information about the operation and regulation of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems, as well as the properties of the blood and parenchymal cells, so that a fundamental understanding of the regulation of tissue oxygenation is achieved.
Just Like Gas ... This Too Shall Pass!
Author : Sharon Hamovitz
With a classic wit, Sharon Hamovitz addresses the subject of gas, the intestinal kind, with a matter-of-fact humor sure to make children and grown-ups of all ages giggle. Without getting graphic, Hamovitz introduces various circumstances where passing gas just happens to humans and animals alike. And she does it all in rhyme! She also presents various circumstances familiar to kids and grown-ups from sitting in a restaurant to playing on the beach. Young and old will delight in the colorful and silly illustrations, beautifully rendered by Patti Colwell, as they identify with many of the scenarios presented in the book. As with the classic fables, Just Like Gas ... This Too Shall Pass! presents a moral, teaching kids and grown-ups that no matter what they're going through, they'll get through it. The titles many translations give the book an international flare with translations in Portugese, French, Dutch, Japanese, German, Hebrew, and more! Included in the book are "Positive Mental Attitude" cards to cut out and pass out. Hamovitz encourages others that if they change their attitudes, they can change their lives with the message, "No matter what you are going through ... things change. You can do it! You'll get through it! Just Like Gas ... This Too Shall Pass!"

Colonic Motility
Author : Sushil K. Sarna
Three distinct types of contractions perform colonic motility functions. Rhythmic phasic contractions (RPCs) cause slow net distal propulsion with extensive mixing/turning over. Infrequently occurring giant migrating contractions (GMCs) produce mass movements. Tonic contractions aid RPCs in their motor function. The spatiotemporal patterns of these contractions differ markedly. The amplitude and distance of propagation of a GMC are several-fold larger than those of an RPC. The enteric neurons and smooth muscle cells are the core regulators of all three types of contractions. The regulation of contractions by these mechanisms is modifiable by extrinsic factors: CNS, autonomic neurons, hormones, inflammatory mediators, and stress mediators. Only the GMCs produce descending inhibition, which accommodates the large bolus being propelled without increasing muscle tone. The strong compression of the colon wall generates afferent signals that are below nociceptive threshold in healthy subjects. However, these signals become nociceptive; if the amplitudes of GMCs increase, afferent nerves become hypersensitive, or descending inhibition is impaired. The GMCs also provide the force for rapid propulsion of feces and descending inhibition to relax the internal anal sphincter during defecation. The dysregulation of GMCs is a major factor in colonic motility disorders: irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and diverticular disease (DD). Frequent mass movements by GMCs cause diarrhea in diarrhea predominant IBS, IBD, and DD, while a decrease in the frequency of GMCs causes constipation. The GMCs generate the afferent signals for intermittent short-lived episodes of abdominal cramping in these disorders. Epigenetic dysregulation due to adverse events in early life is one of the major factors in generating the symptoms of IBS in adulthood.

By replacing your windows you've actually made your home "tighter", reducing air flow between the inside and outside which has resulted in trapped humidity. Your new windows are making your home much more energy efficient, lowering your energy bills and adding comfort to your home by blocking air movement. By building an energy efficient home, we may create other problems that need addressed.
Shut off any household humidifers (this includes the furnace humidifier).
Ventilate your home regularly. Air out your home a few minutes each day and high moisture areas, like bathrooms, duing use.
Run exhaust fans longer and more often.
Make sure any louvers in your attic and basement are large enough and open.
Add a dehumidifier to your basement.
Properly vent any humidity producing appliances such as clothes dryers and gas burners to the outdoors.
To maintain a certain level of comfort and health in your home, it must maintain a certain level of humidity. The easiest way to test this is with the use of a psychrometer. The following chart shows the maximum safe humidity levels to a home heated to 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Lower levels are required for higher indoor temperatures.
While these tips will help solve a majority of the cases of window condensation, sometimes persistent humidity problems may be more difficult to solve. In these cases, you may have to call a qualified expert for advice or direction specific to your situation. Should you have any questions regarding your new windows, please feel free to contact us and we will do our best to assist you!
