UC Provides Research Grant to Support Campus Network Honeybee Research
January 17, 2021 February 5, 2021 Zhuoying Lin
The University of California's Office of the President awarded a three-year, $900,000 grant for "Strengthening Honey Bee Health and Crop Pollination to Safeguard Food Availability and Affordability" to support a network of bee researchers from UC Riverside, UC Davis, UC Merced, and UC San Diego. The researchers have stepped forward to develop a natural, evolutionary-sustainable way to preserve the health of honey bees.
"The four campuses bring together shared research interests that stem from a remarkable range in research skills and infrastructure," said Boris Baer, a professor at UC Riverside and the co-principal investigator of the project. "We have experience with molecular-focused approaches from systems biology and chemical ecology. A community ecologist and evolutionary biologist will broaden the scope of our work to include consequences of stressor effects. These broad biology skill sets will combine with those of team members with engineering expertise."
Based at UC Riverside, the multi-campus network aims to achieve four goals:
1. Measure the effects of biotic and abiotic threats to honey bees to identify the biomarkers of their health outcomes.
2. Collaborate with local beekeepers and pollination-dependent growers to build a strong research industry.
3. Integrate new insights to develop innovatives technologies that benefit bees assessment and reduce proposed threats.
4. Offer training and outreach resources to the next generation of students in the use of science-based solutions for bee health.
Honey bees contribute greatly to the agricultural and natural communities through pollination, which helps produce future generations of crops. They are the key pollinators in California, which is the country's top agricultural state and produces an estimated annual value of more than $9 billion.
Several stressors including diseases, parasites (e.g. varroa), pesticide/chemical exposure, deficient nutrition as a result of habitual loss, and poor management practices have facilitated global declines of the honeybee population. This has been a threat to food security and affordability in the recent decade, and southern-California bee researchers have been working together to develop new strategies to safeguard the bees.
Part of the grant will be shared with two UCSD researchers in the Division of Biological Sciences, professors James Nieh and Joshua Kohn. Professor Nieh's research has focused on studying the social and learning behaviors of bees, while Kohn's work has looked at genetics.
Nieh and his group have stated that they will investigate the factors of pesticide and nutrition.
"We have done experiments with UCSD undergraduates and Masters students who have found that when bees are exposed to pesticide, if they have a poor diet, meaning their diet isn't very rich in sugar, they actually suffer much more than if they have a good diet," Nieh said.
In the lab, the research group has been supplementally feeding bees clean sugars to enhance their nutrition intake. Their recent research finds omega fatty acids, nutrients found in fish and other foods that are known to promote cardiovascular health, can help bees that are poisoned by pesticides. By analyzing bees' mortality rates and cognitive abilities such as learning memory, the lab is interested in knowing whether bees with a diet rich in omega fatty acids will be more resistant to pesticide.
Kohn's lab has done research on the density of honey bees in southern California, finding that the population of feral honey bees was one of the highest in the world. Among them are the hybrid Africanized bees which contain genes from African subspecies of honey bee.
While Africanized bees tend to have an aggressive trait and are commonly known as the "killer bee," Kohn found that they adapt well to stressors with valuable survival traits.
"Because [Africanized bees] have displaced European honey bees and because these super-abundant feral populations survive without human assistance that is needed to reduce diseases now threatening managed European honey bees, their genomes may contain genes useful for improving managed honey bee stocks," Kohn said. "We hope to be able to locate areas of the genome that underlie resistance to diseases plaguing managed honey bees and also those [that] underlie heightened nest defense, since this is an unwanted trait for managed honey bees."
With genomic techniques and observations from an apiary at UC Riverside, the lab will study the offsprings of the managed European honey bees and feral Africanized bees to evaluate their level of genomic admixture and behavioral changes.
Other researchers on the UC network include Elina Lastro Niño at UC Davis, Kerry Mauck, Tsotras Vassilis, and Hyoseung Kim at UC Riverside; and Marilia Gaiarsa at UC Merced.
The project is one of the 15 research projects awarded by the UC's 2021 Multicampus Research Programs and Initiatives (MRPI). Undergraduate students who are interested in learning more about bee research are encouraged to reach out to the network and its faculty members.

How yo redeeem this offer
EashtonM says:
This was a useful post and I think it's fairly easy to see in the other reviews, so this post is well written and useful. Keep up the good work.
Virginia's comment is spot on. Insects are disappearing and their populations rapidly reduced world wide as a direct effect of increasing wireless radiation exposures known to disorient their navigation capabilities, particularly flying insects such as bees. Exposure to wireless radiation also affects humankinds cognitive abilities as we are all electrical beings.
Lauren Ayers says:
"James" posted an blurb that's pure commercial opportunism and should be removed.
Virginia l Farver says:
When are you going to learn that these GRANTS come at a cost. I'll tell you what is causing problems with honey bees. It is the INFRASTRUCTURE for all this stupid grid research! SDSU BRAIN CANCER CLUSTER CAUSED BY THE HPWREN (HIGH PERFORMANCE WIRELESS RESEARCH & EDUCATIONAL NETWORK) cell tower on campus. QUIT RADIATING US AND THE INSECTS (all living things)! THIS IS CRIMINAL….
Nice to see you! You can do so many amusing things, if you have some free time. Our professional authors work at this fantastic online agency and help scholars to write their dissertations and any other types of tasks.

Interior Designer, "Home Made Simple"
Thanks for making time for a coffee in between your meetings at the Oprah Winfrey Network.
This is the most stylish coffee date I've ever had. I'm giving you very L.A.-casual today. I feel a little underdressed now.
Is black coffee always your go-to?
Well, I have an unhealthy obsession with coffee. I have at least five or six cups a day, in addition to the morning pot. It's pretty deep. It's always either black or I'll do an iced nonfat latte. I usually get up at 4:45 a.m. because my daughter is apparently trying to ruin my life. I don't really know what I did to her besides give her everything she could ever want. She gets up, I get up, I give her a bottle, she goes back to bed and I have my morning, which is so nice because everyone is asleep including my husband. It's quiet, I have my coffee, it's perfect.
Where does your daughter's adorable name, Poppy, come from?
I'd never met a Poppy or known a Poppy, but when Nate [Berkus] and I first started dating we were traveling somewhere and I had this crazy dream about us on a beach with this little girl with blonde wavy hair and her name was Poppy. I told him about it and fast forward four years later we find out we're having our daughter and I looked at him and he goes, "It must be Poppy," so that was always it.
I could cry. That's the best story.
It was pretty good. I did cry, which is shocking. I'll probably cry three times during this interview. I'm a real pillar of strength.
What has surprised you the most about being a parent?
I really think that parenthood cracks you open, which sounds so vague, but it is a different type of vulnerability. That's the bottom line. There isn't a second that I'm with her that I don't appreciate every moment we have. I just posted some photo yesterday and I really genuinely don't imagine what my life was like before. I was never that guy. I thought I was going to be by myself in the hills with a bunch of dogs. Now I have this little thing and she's this innocence that you wake up to and you put to bed. All you want to do is protect her and create the best bubble possible for her to view the world.
She's so cute.
Yeah, until she annihilates us. Which is about six months away.
Where is home base going to be for your family?
We go back and forth between here and New York, but I think L.A. is going to be home.
When you were designing your home, I love how you asked yourself, "Where will I hold my daughter on a Saturday morning?" and, "Where will my husband and I sit and reflect and recharge?" You've painted such a nice picture of what a home with someone should be like.
Let me tell you, you should have it. Move here and you'll have it in 12 seconds, forget those Chicago men. The most important thing that I've always felt as a designer is the idea of creating rooms around the moments that people are going to live in them. It's one of the reasons I loved doing the show "Home Made Simple." Every space is this opportunity to create a moment for these people to live in beautifully. Nate and I made the decision that we will always come first. For us, we had the beautiful gift of surrogacy. We had a lot of space to have the conversations about kids that most people don't get the chance to have or even want to have. It sounds harsh, but the truth is it starts with us and ends with us, which is easier said than done. Creating a room for us to fall back into, relax, recharge and reconnect brings a different type of strength through the entire experience, however, it changes. Our home has changed five times since Poppy was born because she changes and we change even more. Now she is crawling. I'm like, "I guess that vintage marble table isn't going to be a good idea." So the baby proofing is the newest heartbreak. Let me tell you, it's not cute. I'm like, "This rubber comes in three colors."
That could be a new business.
Yeah, seriously. A nice brass-colored rubber. Gotta figure that out.
How do you merge two personal styles in a home?
I have a philosophy that you've always got to honor the past, acknowledge the present and leave room in your space for the future. There are certain things that are so important to my husband— paintings from his ex-boyfriend who was lost in the tsunami. Those will always have a place in our home. I'm honoring the past. There are things that we've purchased together. I really believe in editing. So I think like any relationship, your space should be a conversation. Talk to the person you are in love and sharing with, understand what's important to them and really allow the space to be a reflection of both of you. So many people move in with somebody and try to hold on to who they were before they were with that person and that's not what the space is about. You have to allow it to become the both of you.
I've wondered how it would feel moving into someone's place that we didn't create together.
I moved into my husband's first home when we met in New York and I had the entire house repainted. I moved every room around, I was getting so crazy. I was like, "You can pick three items that you can keep. Okay! And I'm going to bring three items that are mine," but it works. The truth is you have to walk into a space and feel like it's a reflection of you. And when you are starting a new relationship it's allowing a space to feel like a reflection of both of you. So it's just a conversation. That's why I always say, "Decorators at heart are really good listeners." They can hear what both people need and translate that in the room.
I also loved what you said about how great design is like great love— you follow your gut. When is a time in your life when you didn't listen to your gut?
Oh my God, my entire twenties! The beautiful gift of my husband is that he saw me the way I've always wanted to be seen and there's something really powerful to that. When you find true love I really believe that that's what it is at its core. He makes me want to be a better person, but then he also sees me and reminds me that I am a good person. My entire twenties were filled with decisions that make me think, "You had to go there, huh?" But that's part of exploration and I think a lot of the most beautiful moments of my life and a lot of the most amazing things have come out of some of the most tumultuous times. I mean, I met Nate when I worked for Rachel Zoe. There was a moment when I thought, "What's the point of this? Why did I start working here? Why am I in fashion?" but then the truth is I met my husband because of that.
Did you know right away that Nate was the one?
Yeah. Ten seconds. I didn't even want to go on our first date. We were friends for years and then we randomly ran into each other at a mutual friend's birthday party. He said, "We should go out antique shopping," because I was in New York for the weekend and I thought, "Great. Can't wait to go antique shopping," [rolls eyes]. So I came back from the beach and we had this insanely beautiful afternoon that never ended. That was it. I literally never left. It actually sounds scary when I say it out loud. It worked out. I definitely never really believed in true love because I didn't understand it but now I've experienced it so… he's pretty good. He happens to be a really good guy, too, which helps.
What was it about Sheri Salata, President of OWN, that made you decide you wanted her to be the one to officiate your wedding?
I met Sheri at a dinner and the truth is, Sheri is like a warm hug. Her personality is just like somebody is holding you and hugging you and there are not a lot of people who I connect with on a really intimate level. Especially as I get older because I understand the language of people better. She was somebody who, the second I met her felt like I had before, as if we had been friends in another life and it was mutual. I understood her. She's always been so gracious to me and we have a beautiful friendship. I've been lucky in general for the entire OWN community. My husband has such a beautiful reputation and relationship with everybody, but mine is completely separate and they've really welcomed me in and opened up their arms. She's one of those people who what you see is what you get and then some.
Did anything go wrong on the wedding day that your guests didn't know about?
Oh my God, there is so much that goes wrong! I don't even know if this is common knowledge yet, but my husband is Jewish, I'm a Buddhist, so you can imagine that fun conversation with Sheri. I'm like, "This needs to be a Jew-Bu wedding, with a lot of spirituality because I need to hear it!" At the end you're supposed to step on the glass to seal the deal. Sheri knocked the glass over in the middle of the ceremony and it shattered everywhere. Everybody started dying laughing and cracking up. It was exactly what it needed to be. In general, everything is imperfectly perfect to Nate and me. I'll never think something needs to be perfect. I mean look at my hair.
When you're working with a client for the first time, what are some of the questions you ask to get to know their style?
It's funny, it's like any relationship. You really want to understand who they are. My favorite thing is to meet somebody and try to figure out, not only how they live and what they connect to but more importantly how they want to live. Everybody at the end of the day wants to live beautifully. It doesn't matter how poor or how rich you are, so it's really often a conversation of finding out from somebody what they connect to. Often I can find out just from a closet or how someone is dressing. Also it's, "Do they feel worthy enough to have a space that rises up to meet them." That's one of the cool things about "Home Made Simple." These people lived their lives so beautifully and walked through the world with such a grace and appreciation and to actually be able to create a room that rose to meet them was the coolest part.
What have you learned about yourself since you've joined the OWN family?
I've learned a lot about gratitude because of the show. "Home Made Simple" is a really great DIY show that shows you how to create high design at a low cost, but it's also about gratitude. We walk into people's lives and say, "I see how you live, I see what you do, I see what you believe in, I appreciate you, let's create a room and space to reflect that." It was really empowering. I learned a lot about myself. I think a lot of times with high design we kind of disconnect. Everybody wants to live beautifully and we are all the same. Literally. We are all the same. We are all connected, it doesn't matter where you are from, your socioeconomic status, anything. I mean, I cried in every single episode. So embarrassing. My daughter's teenage years should be a blast. I won't know though, she'll be in Switzerland in a boarding school [laughs], but I'll get postcards. Like "Downton Abbey."
When was the last time you built a piece of furniture?
I made a dining table on "Home Made Simple," which I was very impressed with. However, there were about 12 people helping me. When I was young I started making furniture because I couldn't afford to buy any. I would go to thrift stores and dismantle stuff and remake it and I ended up making some of the craziest pieces, some I still have. That passion started my entire career, so it's very full circle to be back at "Home Made Simple" doing these DIY projects, which — by the way— are a little bit better built than mine.
How would you summarize this time in your life?
I'm going to enjoy every moment. I don't know how to describe the way I feel everyday. Life is so imperfectly perfect and I don't stop. Nate always jokes that he's never met somebody that moves through the world as quickly and ferociously as I do. I never stop. I'm always like, "Let's go, let's go. Let's keep going. Let's find this." There's only so much time to do it and to experience it so I never take that for granted.
Who has given you the best career or life advice?
Well, my husband is kind of smart which it pains me to admit. I've gotten a lot of great advice. Even back to Rachel Zoe who told me, "You need to be in interior design, you've got to follow your passion." Brené Brown's TED Talk about vulnerability. There's so much out there and so many beautiful things that people are teaching if you're willing to listen. The biggest influence on my life will be my husband without a doubt. Waking up to that kind of love is pretty good. If he only had a brother I could set you up with. We could wear our biker jackets together to dinner.
If you didn't have to run off to a meeting would we be drinking a cocktail?
Uh yeah. You said it and my mouth started watering… which is weird because it's like 1 o'clock in the afternoon. I'm a tequila guy. Blanco tequila, spicy margarita. It just doesn't get old. I was literally at Sheri Salata's house last night until 11 p.m. moving furniture, hanging art and drinking spicy margaritas. I thought, "This is everything you need."
Where can you get the best spicy margarita in town?
There's a restaurant called Ysabel, I don't know how long you are in town but you should definitely check it out. A lot of cute guys, with jobs. It's outdoor, under olive trees. Perfect ambiance, quintessential L.A. warm weather, spicy tequila.
If you could have a drink with anyone, who would it be?
I'm uncomfortably obsessed with politics, which we won't get into because I don't need to ruffle any feathers, but I'd like to have a drink with Hillary Clinton this week. However, my number one answer is my grandmother who passed, who I actually grew up with. She was such a formidable force, but soft and delicate. I would have liked to have a conversation with her as a grown up. She always had hummingbirds around her. That's why I have it tattooed on me. There was something very special about her. One of the reasons I started practicing Buddhism is this whole idea of totems and really connecting to something and it was a hummingbird for me. I had a hard time with religion and spirituality and didn't really get it, it didn't connect to me or resonate until I realized every time there was a moment of transition or beauty or fear or concern there would be a hummingbird randomly. It still happens. I got one this morning. I don't even have a hummingbird feeder.

The History and Meaning of the Dog Name – Duke
June 22, 2017 // Posted in Boy Names // Leave a reply
If you just got a new dog, you are probably having a tough time over finding just the right name for him, just like an expectant parent trying to name their baby. We tend to put plenty of thought and efforts into picking a name for our dogs, a name that is pleasing to the ear, and one we won't feel embarrassed yelling in public. You'd much rather call out "Buddy, come," at the dog park than "Stay, Slobberchopers," wouldn't you? By assumption, you'll be saying your dog's name at least 35,000 times over the lifetime of your pet, so choosing the right one that you'll be happy long after the fad "dog name of the year" fades away.
The most anticipated part of getting a new dog is giving it a name. You spend a lot of time thinking about a unique dog name. It is necessary to choose the right one of the many dog names for your dog. If you know that you are a true dog lover, you should see your pet as more than just a mere friend and companion. Your puppy is your new baby, and will often give you as much trouble as a new human baby- but like a child – well worth the investment! You and your dog are going to be companions for many years so the name should reflect your relationship as well as the dog's personality. You'd want a name to give your puppy to fit him or her perfectly.
One idea is to name your dog after a famous male that you like or can relate to, either in history, movies, or pop culture. A very good example is "Duke." Famous people named Duke include legendary jazz pianist Duke Ellington. Duke was also the name of ultimate movie tough guy John Wayne. And for TV trivia buffs, it was the name of the hound dog in the TV show "The Beverly Hillbillies."
Dogs named DUKE are faithful, loving dogs. They are usually "people" dogs and don't want you out of their sight. Most dogs named DUKE are medium to larger sized dogs. They can be smart and dominant, and they respond well to obedience training. Duke is a Latin name which means "Leader of the Herd; high-ranking nobleman." They are dogs that love playtime. They bond strongly to their owners and love nothing more than a little affection from their owners. If you want a true friend and pet, you can name your dog DUKE.
Dogs named DUKE are loving and loyal to their owners. They are always at alert and excellent listeners. Not much gets past a dog named DUKE. They are intuitive and smart. Many people may describe dogs named DUKE as "intelligent." They can be well trained if given the opportunity. Dogs named DUKE have a friendly and often energetic demeanor with sweet personalities. They are healthy dogs and loyal companions.
Your puppy's name says as much about you as it does about your dog, so naming your dog DUKE would be a wise decision.
The History and Meaning of the Dog Name – Apollo
April 7, 2017 // Posted in Boy Names // Leave a reply
If you are currently considering finding a perfect name for your new dog, this is just for you. The name "Apollo" stands out among other dog names and its uniqueness comes from its origin and meaning. It is also a typical short name that dogs can be easily called.
Generally, Apollo is a name suitable for male dogs that have shown qualities of being strong as the name originally belonged to a Greek god. Known as the son of Leto and Zeus, Apollo was known as the Greek god of medicine, prophecy, and wisdom. He was also regarded as the god of beauty, law, and art to show how important he was in the Greek mythology. Apollo was the twin of Artemis, who was the Greek goddess of virginity, moon, and chastity. After few years of being known as the god of different elements, Apollo was made the god of sun and light according to the Greek mythology.
Being regarded as the god of many elements shows how important Apollo was to the ancient Greek; hence, the name "Apollo" is much more suitable for uniquely important male dogs. Notably, the name "Apollo" has been related many times to "apelo" which is an Indo-European word for strength.
As a word of Greek origin, Apollo has two separate and unrelated meanings. The first meaning is "destroy", and this depicts the character as an animal capable of wreaking havoc in different manners. However, this could be directly related to the natural strength associated with the name and not necessarily a destroyer. Furthermore, the name can also be sometimes used to mean "apple' which is a common, sweet tasting fruit. Whichever of the two meanings of the name "Apollo" you choose to consider; the name still retains its uniqueness and suitability for male dogs.
Based on the meanings and history of the name, most of the dogs bearing this name are often seen to be competent with great strength. They usually make use of their strength in ensuring their survivals. Therefore, the name "Apollo" tends to increase the competence of dogs, making them more successful in their association with humans as well as other domestic animals.
Consequently, if you are just bringing in a new dog into your home and you would like to give the dog a good, meaningful and practical name, Apollo is highly recommended. It is a name that comes with a vigor that could make you and your dog build a good and memorable pet-owner relationship.
The History, Meaning and Importance of the Dog Name – Molly
February 16, 2017 // Posted in Girl Names // Leave a reply
Originally, the name "Molly" was specifically meant for female humans, but it is currently not one of the most common human names. However, for female dogs, it is one of the most popular names, especially among English speakers. The name is a wonderful and befitting name that a dog can easily answer because it is short with just two syllables, and there are hardly any dog commands that sound the same as this beautiful dog name.
Though the name "Molly" has been in existence for years as a human name, it actually became more popular as a dog name recently after the exploit of Molly Brown. Molly Brown, born as Margaret Tobin, was one of the survivors of the famous and tragic Titanic ship that sank in 1912 with many lives lost in the process.
Immediately after the ship collided with iceberg and started sinking, Molly Brown took it upon herself to help some of the survivors get into the lifeboats available. She also got into one and followed other survivors to a safe place. Her help did not end at the spot where the ship sank; she also assisted many of the survivors on Carpathia and later in New York. She became famous for these selfless acts, and many people started naming their dogs after this awesome character. Similarly, after the release of the award-winning Titanic movie in 1997, many people further fell in love with this legendary name. Molly became one of the top 3 names of female dogs among English-speaking dog lovers around the world.
Though the Hebrew origin of Molly is not argued, there are different meanings for it. The name "Molly" is seen as a diminutive of the Mary and its most common meaning is "wished-for child". This meaning says a lot about the uniqueness of this name; hence, it should only be given to dogs that are well cared for and loved by their owners. Special female dogs should be the ones answering this special name. Another meaning attributed to the name "Molly" is bitter. Whatever the real meaning of Molly is, it is a beautiful and suitable name for your dog.
Molly is suitable for all kinds of female dogs; irrespective of their height, color, breed, weight and characters. Therefore, when you are looking for a beautiful name for your female dog, do not hesitate to choose Molly.
The History and Meaning of the Dog Name – Bear
December 22, 2016 // Posted in Boy Names, Girl Names // Leave a reply
Bear is one of the most awesome and adorable names often given to dogs. It is a unisex name with deep and interesting meaning.
History of the dog name 'Bear'
Historically, the dog name 'bear' has an American origin. The name, Bear, originally refers to large dogs with thick hair and large body. The name is more befitting for a strong and brave dog. Characteristically, dogs bearing the name are known to be brave and loyal. Despite their loyalty, they usually show great tendency of being aggressive, and their braveness to be even more glaring. If you own a dog that has bulky hair with tendency of being brave and aggressive, naming her 'bear' could be suitable.
Meaning of the dog name 'Bear'
Bear actually has a French meaning, which can be translated as being strong and brave.
Popular dogs with the dog name 'Bear'

November 6, 2016 // Posted in Girl Names // Leave a reply
There are lots of cute names that can be given to dogs. Elsa is one of the trendiest names given to dogs nowadays, and it is quite a lovely and befitting name for female dogs due to its origin.
The name Elsa finds its origin in the name Elizabeth, which is a popular female name. Elizabeth is a Hebrew word for "my God is an oath", and since Elsa is a short form of Elizabeth, it retains the same meaning. Elsa, as a dog name, comes with a touch of royalty, class and elegance; hence, it is highly recommended to be used as a dog name.
Though Elsa has been in use as a dog name for years, it has been further popularized in recent years following its usage as the name of a fictional character in the movie Frozen. Produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios, Frozen was produced in 2013 and Elsa is one of its major characters. She is of the royal blood with calm and reserved character. As depicted in the movie, Elsa is known for her ability to manipulate snow and ice, and use them to fight, make items and perform so many other magical acts. After the release of Frozen, many people who loved the magical and fictional character of Elsa fell further in love with the name and it has become one of the favorite dog names. Apart from Frozen, the name Elsa has also been used in many other movies and books.
Elsa is a moderately short name. It is just a two-syllable word which dogs can easily get used to.
Let us know if you have a little Elsa in your household!
The History behind the Dog Name – Astro
October 13, 2016 // Posted in Uncategorized // Leave a reply
If you often pay attention to names given to dogs, you would have heard of the name 'Astro' before. It is a dog name that has a movie-based history and it is worth taking a closer look at to understand its history and meaning.
Background of the name 'Astro'
The name Astro was given to a dog in an American animated TV series called The Jetsons which was produced by American animation studio, Hanna-Barbera. The cartoon series was aired firstly from 1962 to 1963, and later from 1985 to 1987. In The Jetsons, the character was voiced by the late reputable voice actor Don Messick who also voiced the dog Scooby in another popular animated show called Scooby Doo, Where Are You (from 1969 to 1975).
The dog was originally named Tralfaz by his former wealthy owner Mr. J.P Gottrockets, but he was later adopted by the Jetson family and renamed Astro. Notably, the name Astro is a Greek word for 'in the star'. Before being accepted fully as part of the family of the Jetsons, the father of the family, George Jetson, was against its adoption. George cited unavailability of room to keep him as his major excuse. However, Elroy, Jane and Judy, who were the other members of the family, wanted to keep him with the family. After Astro accidentally helped the family to catch the Cat Burglar, George had no option than to accept him into the family. George and his son, Elroy, later grew fond of Astro, and he was their close buddy all through the TV series.
The character – Astro
Astro, as depicted in the animated TV series, was not your typical dog as he was definitely much more intelligent than others. He was capable of uttering words to communicate with people instead of merely barking. However, his words were some kinds of grumbling rudimentary English words that had the letter that started each word turned into the letter 'R'. Typically, if Astro wanted to say "George and Astro went home", he would rather pronounce the sentence as "Reorge and Rastro rent rome". Astro was shown as a happy, lively and intelligent dog that was able to live well with humans.
Nowadays, Astro is a good name for dogs whose owners love things that concern space or star as the name means 'of the star'. Without doubt, Astro is a suitable, cosmic dog name with good meaning and interesting history.

October 6, 2016 // Posted in Boy Names // Leave a reply
Although the name is of English origin, Hurley has been used in as an Irish dog Name some humans even use it as a surname.

In Clare, some who bear the name Hurley have opted for Commane instead. The reason is that the Irish representation is Hurley-stick; which was formally used in a sport known as 'hurling is camán.' However, on the other hand, the name Commane doesn't originate from the same source.
History and Origin of the Dog Name Hurley
The history of Hurley as a dog name is fascinating. It has been in use as Irish and English dog name since as far back as the 10th Century AD. The dog name, Hurley, is believed to have originated from Earley, a small village close to Reading, Berkshire. The village, in the Domesday Book, is referred to as 'Herlei.'

The dog name, Hurley is an anglicized version of two Gaelic patronymics O'Muirthile, anglicized to Murhilla through Murley to Hurley and O'hUirthile descendant of Uirthile. The Erleigh family occupied a land in Kilkenny, Ireland and belonged to Cork. While the first family is found mainly in County Limerick.

Frank, Frankie, Francis
August 4, 2016 // Posted in Boy Names // Leave a reply
Though not the top of the doggie name charts, Frankie nevertheless remains a popular, spunky choice for dogs that are hyper, adventurous and hate sleep more than they love barking at cars. Perfect for a pooch that loves to have fun more than stay clean, it's interesting to find that such a "go get 'em" name actually comes from two very different origins.
The oldest of the two origins, Frank was a Germanic name used to describe members of the eponymous tribe. Settling in France and the Netherlands during the 3rd and 4th centuries, the name itself actually came from the term used describe the type of spears that this group of people carried around with them. In time, the name found its way over to England back in 1066 with the Normans made their way north on a successful conquering trip.
The second of the two and the youngest, Francis didn't actually show up until the 1300s. Taken from the Late Latin Franciscus, or "Frenchman", Saint Francis of Assisi used this as a moniker taken from a childhood nickname of Francesco. As history shows, Francis would go on to found the Franciscan order of friars and devote his life to helping the poor. A figurehead even long after his death, his name lived on, now a popular choice for children of all levels of income in honor of Francis' great deeds.
It was during this time in the medieval period when the nickname Frankie began to emerge. While it was often confused as to which of the two origins it was pulled from, it was definitely a nickname that killed two birds with one stone. Though still not a popular proper first name, it has proven to be an enduring affectionate nickname.
Perfect for any pooch due to it not being too formal and not being too casual, it remains a favorite for the majority of smaller breeds, and that makes sense. After all, most want their Bull Mastiffs to have a scary, imposing name, not a cute, energetic one. Jack Russells, Papillons and Dachsunds are only a few of the smaller breeds that often wind up as a Frankie. In addition, though great for either males or females, it tends to be used much more commonly for the boy pups of the world.
Fun, feisty and all around fantastic, Frankie is a solid choice for any pup that loves adventure and can never seem to play enough. Brought to us from the Germans and the Italians, it's a name with two sides that came together to create an almost perfect union. Whether you're a fan of naming your pooch after historical Francis', like Francis Bacon, or famous Frankie's, like Frankie Valli, it's a perfect choice for your perfect pet.
Picking Pascal
For many pups, the name Pascal witnessed a relative surge in popularity following the release of Disney's Tangled. In it, Rapunzel's animal companion is a witty, humorous chameleon with the name in question, prompting many to name their cute, fluffy friends the same. However, the name itself is actually much older and remains extremely popular in Europe, more specifically Switzerland.
As far as word historians can trace it, Pascal was both a French and Dutch word that was a noted descendent of the Late Latin Paschalis. Meaning "related to Easter", it was taken from the even older Hebrew pesach, the word for "Passover". This holiday, shared by Jews and Christians alike, celebrated the liberation of the Jewish people from Egypt back in the time of the Pharaohs. The reason it wasn't used specifically for the Christian Passover was because Passover directly preceded Easter resulting in a blanket term that covered a larger length of time, very similar to how many people nowadays use Christmas to refer to the entire last half of December. As a name, it was often given to children born on or around this time.
For humans, its Paschal form became a popular church name during the early medieval period with numerous variations popping up around this time, including Paschasius, Pascual and Pascalina. Even with such popularity, the most famous person tied to the name, Blaise Pascal, didn't exist until the 1600s. A French mathematician, philosopher and inventor, he did much to reinvigorate the title. As a surname, it became a very popular find throughout France and Italy.
In regards to fluffy companions, Pascal still remains a rarity among dog lovers. Seen now as more of a French name, you won't find many Pitbulls or Rottweilers with the moniker. Instead, it is typically given either to a more regal pooch or one that is just too adorable and quirky (depending on the pop culture reference Pascal is pulled from). This being said, 2016 is seeing a major push for the popularity of Pascal, with this once obscure name now appearing in the top 50 names for male dogs this year. It even tops lists for the most geeky dog names. Interestingly enough, though, it still does remain a male name. Even though the name might sound less harsh due to its French origins, the name is almost unanimously a name for a little boy pup.
If you're in the market for a quirky yet smart sounding name for your pooch, there is none better than Pascal. Fun to explain to those that ask and a great way to recognize the brilliance of your own best friend, it is the quintessential name that incorporates a sense of history, intelligence and playfulness that only the best of dog companions exhibit.
Origins of Olaf
May 6, 2016 // Posted in Boy Names // Leave a reply
Olaf the Husky has been sweeping Instagram and Twitter. An all-white Husky owned by Pentatonix's Kirstin Maldonado, the handsome pup has won the hearts of nearly 100,000 people worldwide and now appears alongside his little brother, Pascal.
As for Olaf's name, it clearly comes from a love for Disney. Released in 2013, Frozen took the world by storm with its incredible graphics and unforgettable songs. One of the characters, Olaf, is a cheery snowman that dreams of enjoying the summer months. Olaf the puppy was born in late 2014 with a white coat reminiscent of snow. However, the story of the name Olaf doesn't start with Disney.
As Old As Language
Unlike many names that can be traced back to Latin, Olaf is actually an ancient Norse name, coming from what is known as Proto-Norse. Spoken throughout Scandinavia in the first centuries CE, it eventually evolved into what we know as Old Norse languages around 800 CE with the rise of the Vikings. Some of the earliest recordings we have of it date back to the early 2nd century.
During this time, the words Anu-laibaz and Ǣlāf appeared. In translation, anu stood for an ancestor or grand-father while laibaz stood for descendant or heirloom. In short, it simply denoted a person was a descendent of someone. That someone was then usually mentioned in the last name.
Over time, it took on the more recognized form of Olaf and became an incredibly popular name for kings. For a full century, almost all of the Norwegian kings were named Olaf. Even today it ranks as the 60th most popular name in Poland.
Interestingly enough, Olaf was such a popular name that it spread across the European continent. In Estonian, it is Olev, the Irish use Amhlaoibh and the Scottish use Aulay, among other variations. It is arguably one of the most widespread names with the broadest differentiations in spelling around.
Modern Olaf
As of today, Olaf isn't as common as it was but is still widely enough used that those that come across it can easily identify it as a Scandinavian name. Lemony Snicket was probably the first major writer to put the name back into popular use by giving his villain said name. Then, following Disney's release of Frozen and Olaf's strong role, the title once again took off in popularity.
Though not in the top 100, Olaf is still a popular puppy name for various reasons. Be it the owners really like the name or, like Olaf the Husky, their white fur reminds them of a goofy snowman, it's a name that pops up regularly for those on the hunt for the perfect puppy moniker. In addition, like so many other puppy names, the fact that Olaf has survived history can only mean that it is built to last.

Q: How alternate colors in dashed arrows? How might I alternate two colors, say Red and Blue, for the dashes on a pair of oppositely pointing arrows, such as in the following, so that the gaps between the blue dashes are filled with red dashes and vice versa?
Note that, for reasons beyond the scope of this question, I do not want to use a single arrow having two arrowheads, that is, I do not want to use something like Arrowheads[{-0.03,0.03}] that puts arrowheads on both ends of a single arrow.
{p,q}=RandomPoint[Disk[],2];
Graphics[{PointSize@Large,
Red,Point@p,Blue,Point@q,
Thickness[0.005],Arrowheads[0.03],
Dashing[0.03],
Arrow[{p,q}],Arrow[{q,p}]
},
PlotRange->1.1]

A: Use the second argument of Dashing as offset and overlay two dashed lines.
SeedRandom[1];
{p, q} = RandomPoint[Disk[], 2];

alternatingArrow[p_, q_, color1_, color2_, r_] := {
  color1, Dashing[r], Line[{p, q}],
  color2, Dashing[r, r], Line[{p, q}],
  color1, Arrow[{p + 0.999 (q - p), q}],
  color2, Arrow[{q + 0.999 (p - q), p}]
  }

Graphics[{Thickness[0.005], alternatingArrow[p, q, Blue, Red, 0.03],
  PointSize@Large, Red, Point@p, Blue, Point@q}]

Alternatively, as proposed by @MichaelSeifert in his comment, you can plot one solid line, overlaid with a dashed one. However, note that in this case the red dashes are a bit awkward at their edges because of the antialising with the underlying blue line.
alternatingArrow2[p_, q_, color1_, color2_, r_] := {
  color1, Arrow[{p, q}],
  color2, Dashing[r, r], Arrow[{q + r (p - q), p}]
  }

Graphics[{Thickness[0.005], alternatingArrow2[p, q, Blue, Red, 0.03],
  PointSize@Large, Red, Point@p, Blue, Point@q}]

August 15th in Alhama de Granada is the day for the annual Romería del vino, or wine festival. People in the town dress up in their finery and the chosen ones ride in decorated floats or caravans.
The procession consisted of a lot of people on horseback, some horse-drawn carriages and the floats.
I got there around 10AM and lots of people were already congregating in Plaza del Rey (called Plaza de Alfonso X11 on my map) in the newer part of the town. The floats were already on display.
There was a Catholic Mass for those interested (mostly, it seemed, the older people; the younger ones were already getting started on the beer) and then the procession was ready to leave.
Someone from the local town hall was available to hand out a ham to the people on each participating float.
The procession travelled to a local picnic area called El Motor, arriving there around 1.30pm, where there were some awards given out for the best floats. Then wine and gazpacho were dished up.
This took us up until around 3.30pm, when the music started.
I didn't stay late. Not having the luxury of a horse-drawn carriage to get me to El Motor, I'd had to walk and it was some distance in the heat.

Q: Laravel job check site if online On every post I have url a website. I need get status and check every hour if this site is online. How I can do it with queues Laravel? I have a job CheckPostSite:
public function handle()

foreach($allposts as $post) {
     if($this->checkOnline($post->site_url) {

I'm doing everything right? Or not? I have 10000+ posts in database.

A: To do the actual scheduling - follow the steps in the docs
https://laravel.com/docs/5.7/scheduling#scheduling-artisan-commands
with the pertinent 2 steps:

*

*Ensure you a cron job on your server to actually run the job scheduler (not your job, the schedule that will kick of your job(s)

*

*
*

*
*

*
*

*
*

*cd /path-to-your-project && php artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1

*Add your own job to the schedule method of Console/Kernel.php
$schedule->job(new CheckPostSite())->hourly();
But whilst you are developing you can test the job by just using tinker:
php artisan tinker
$job = new CheckPostSite()
$job->handle()

MY, MY, MY MARAWI: Of Madonna, Obama and Moros. By Samira Gutoc
Mindanews - March 22, 2009 8:13 pm
MARAWI CITY (MindaNews/22 March) -- Two American servicemen stationed in the Campo Ranao up the Signal Hill, Marawi were guest speakers at a recent International Relations Forum at the Mindanao State University (MSU), overlooking the majestic Lake Lanao. But the cool air might have turned warm for the two guests who were asked all sorts of controversial issues ranging from the Visiting Forces Agreement (VFA) to US President Barrack Obama's agenda in the Southern Philippines. Many students were curiously asking why were American troops around Marawi, a conservative Islamic City, with barely a handful of foreigners staying because of fears of insecurity.
MY, MY, MY MARAWI: Happy Women's Day, Where are the Muslim Women? By Samira...
Mindanews - March 9, 2009 10:10 am
MARAWI CITY (MindaNews/09 March) -- While women are said to hold half the skies, they also hold more than the sun, rain, its torrents and its thunders. I had just gotten the bad news from sources quoting the Marawi City Hospital, Amai Pakpak, that there were 50 incidents of rido (vendetta) - related incidents since December 2008 (in a record two months alone). What is fearsome is that women have been recent targets of this vendetta phenomenon; it is no longer isolated to men fighting
among themselves with guns. Killing women would make vendetta a more powerful instrument to create fear against the enemy.

MARAWI CITY (MindaNews/10 March) -- Mindanao women are slowly making their mark. Even as mothers who have to balance work, clan needs and an environment with sporadic conflict, these lady achievers have made their dent in Philippine history whether as politicians, pioneers or peace negotiators. These are their stories.

MARAWI CITY (MindaNews/08 January) -- A mother who lost her son to a rido (vendetta), jailed Muslim women in Luzon, honor killings, an acid attack on a Maranao girl wearing a short shirt . These were some of the issues and narratives candidly discussed by local women in a forum facilitated by former United Nations (UN) gender expert Aurora De Dios of Miriam College's Women in Action on the theme Women, Peace and Security.

The beauty and brains cannot leave Manila without getting photographed with us, women delegates of a Global Conference here more than a decade ago, where she was guest. I waited for her at the Manila Hotel exit. I readied a camera man to take a shot. Sure enough, others monitoring her movement - mostly women - were tagging along to bid her bye.

MANILA (MindaNews / December 28) The afternoon was chilly, made more foreboding as I slowly passed by the debris and blasted van left by that fatal day in Congress. The yellow strings around the white remnants meant we could not enter the zone for police purposes. These were scenes for the criminal investigation group to protect. I did not feel protected at the moment.

I was an activist against Marcos, I was a student of Islamic Theology, I was a preacher, I was the deputy commander of the MNLF (Moro National Liberation Front)," controversial Basilan Congressman Wahab Akbar, 47, said in his first and last privilege speech on July 31, calling on military coordination with Basilan residents in the planned strike on Basilan following the killing of 10 military personnel by suspected members of the MILF (Moro Islamic Liberation Front).

I show this malong today along with the jeans I wear to contrast the different realities that I live in.
Mucha, a Sama has her story to tell. She, like her fellow boat people, experienced discrimination from among the Moros. Baicon, a Maranao, gave up a law degree to serve the victims of conflict. Noraida, a Maguindanao , was recognized by a New York-based group, for her work with children of conflict.

December is a month of frenzied planning and parties. If you love to bake like I do, I'm sure you've been busy these days making sweet treats. I thought it would be fun this December to feature some of my very talented baking friends.
One of the blogs that I was lucky enough to come across when I first started over two years ago was: That Skinny Chick Can Bake! I'm sure you may already know Lizzy. She is one of the most dedicated bloggers I know. Lizzy keeps her blog full of countless delicious desserts. Just yesterday she posted these lovely Rosettes.I love yeasted breads…how about Lizzy's superb Orange Rolls? Wow! If you are looking for a great homemade gift idea, go see her Homemade Kahlua. Lizzy is always there with her sweet comments and showing support to everyone. I'm excited to feature her here today.
If you are on Google +, we have exciting news to share! I formed a new baking community: Google + Baking Community. Lizzy and Anuradha from Baker Street are moderating the group with me. You know that it will be full of fabulous baking talk-come join the fun!
Lora was one of my first blogger friends. Her mom, Lizzie, of Food and Thrift, immediately reached out to me when I joined Foodbuzz over two years ago. Just as warm as her mother, Lora became a friend and a blogger who I admired and emulated. A baker like me, she always dazzles me with her cakes, pastries and breads. When she approached me about doing a holiday guest post, I was delighted. I make caramels only at Christmas, so I wanted to share one of my favorite recipes with you all.
I've been in love with caramels since my first taste as a child. Whenever a gift of mixed chocolates made its way into our home, I'd elbow my little sisters out of the way, and zero in on the square shaped caramels. And it turns out, this fondness for caramels runs in the family. Last year, my uncle sent me an old, splattered candy cookbook that used to belong to my grandfather. Besides yellowed recipe clippings nestled between the pages, there were hand written notes about altitude adjustment next to the caramel and praline recipes…in both my grandfather and my Aunt Martha's handwriting. Who knew that North Dakota and Michigan had to worry about such things? Written in 1952, there were outdated instructions like, "Remove from the fire and pour on an oiled slab between oiled bars." Huh? It was my intention to use this recipe for caramels as a tribute to my mom's side of the family, but terms like "slack back" had me a wee bit nervous…as the candy making process can be a bit finicky. So I decided against those in favor of one of my tried and true recipes. I've shared another caramel recipe on my blog, but this one has brown sugar as well as white sugar…giving an extra boost of caramel flavor.
Part of this batch will go to Nick, my youngest…a huge caramel fan. As a toddler, he used to accompany me on my weekly trips to the butcher shop…the owner would hand him a slice of ham to sample while she packaged my meat, and then Nick would pick a favorite candy from their glass jar full of confections on our way out the door. Inevitably, he would dig deep to find his favorite caramel candy. So, some of these caramels will go into the holiday goodie boxes for the neighbors, and the rest will be mailed to Nick along with some chocolate chip chip cookies…I think he'll need a little cheering up as he studies for his first college finals this week.
In a large, heavy saucepan, combine sugars, corn syrup, half and half, cream and butter. Cook over medium low heat, stirring, till candy thermometer reaches 250º. This may take up to an hour. At 250º remove pan from heat and add vanilla.
Pour into prepared pan and let cool completely. Cut into small squares and wrap in waxed paper.
Use a good, accurate candy thermometer…if your caramels don't come to temperature, they will be too soft. If the mixture gets too hot, your caramels will be hard to chew.
Using corn syrup prevents the sugar from recrystallizing and becoming grainy…you don't want to leave it out.
A rapid increase or decrease in temperature while cooking will cause the butter to separate from the caramel as it cools. Keep your flame/burner temperature steady. Be patient.
I use a rubber spatula that can take the heat without melting to stir almost continuously. Some recipes don't require this constant stirring, so follow the directions on your specific recipe.
Thank you for the story and these delicious Brown Sugar Caramels, Lizzy. Here's how to see more of Lizzy and That Skinny Chick Can Bake!!! : Facebook, Google+, Twitter, Pinterest.
Hmm, everything into one pan. That's certainly easier than the recipes I've used that require two pans and two or even three cooking stages. I think I'll give this a try. They certainly look delicious and chewy. Thanks!
Ok, lucky Nick and poor Nick, all at the same time! I'll keep my fingers crossed that he's able to study well and do exceptionally at his finals. I'm sure you can't wait for him to get home for Christmas. It'll be like one of those Folgers commercials.
It's fun to see two of the most awesome bakers together in the same blog and in my book, the caramels are the perfect dessert. Not a drop of chocolate in sight! I love it.
I have always wanted to make these. I love caramels. Liz is so talented and her baking always inspires. I have been so enjoying her Christmas series! And now these! Great recipe, thanks for sharing!
These caramels are just amazing, brown sugar caramel, it doesn´t get much better! It´s so great to find the wonderful Liz here in your wonderful blog Lora. I love you girls, hope to meet you one day..
Thanks SO much for inviting me, Lora…and for the sweet introduction!
Stumptown Savory, yeah, more than one pan to clean is a drag!
Mom Chef, yes, I can't wait to get him home!!!
Terra, aren't homemade caramels wonderful?
Jamie, you're so sweet…thank you!!!
I love Liz's recipes! And I met her at Mixed last weekend & am so happy we had a chance to enjoy breakfast together on the last day. These caramels look divine.
These look delicious. Your son is going to love getting his care package. (Good luck to him on his exams!) Thanks for sharing the recipe and all the cooking tips. I just may try to make these!
caramels have always been my favorite, also – these sound perfect!
I love homemade caramels, Lizzy! These are beautiful!
I love making homemade caramels and last year was lucky enough to share the experience with a friend whose mother was ill but who wanted to pass the recipe to her daughter. I think it's time I make them again; it's a reminder to me to appreciate every day as a gift.
Did you say brown sugar caramels?! In love, I can only imagine how wonderful these must taste!
Gorgeous gifting guaranteed!!…Do you think a sprinkling of fleur de sel or small flaked salt "Salted Caramel" riff is possible here?..My husband loves his "Caramels Salés"..from the Brittany region of France…Also, in Europe could one sub Lyle's Golden Syrup…or even Vermont or Canadian Maple Syrup for the light corn syrup?…Coconut Palm Nectar?..Thanks for this post..just in time for the holidays!
Perfect color and rich creamy candies looks amazingly delicious!
These are perfect caramels!! What a great gift idea, if I don't eat them all first.
Delicious homemade caramels, excellent gift, Lizzy is wonderful baker.
Lora, You're a terrific hostess and together with today's guest, I feel as though I won the Powerball jackpot! Liz, it's posts like this that leave me feeling inspired to make some of these lush caramels for my family & friends. Only thing is, I can't be certain any of them would actually see wax paper wrappers!
You had me at brown sugar and caramel! These are a WINNER and a must make. Pinning immediately!!!
These are so yummy! Perfect gifts for Christmas.
Donna, a sprinkling of sea salt would be wonderful! As far a substitute for corn syrup, Lyle's Golden syrup is your best bet. Maple syrup could make the caramels rock hard. Hope you give these a try!!!
Now THOSE look tasty. What a wonderful treat to make for the holidays. Great as gifts… or just as after dinner nibbles.
This is awesome!! and I LOVE all of the tips!! I totally needed to know those things! I echo what everyone has said here. . great as gifts! Love this!
Awesome guest post, Lizzy! Lor sure knows how to pick 'em 🙂 LOVE homemade caramels..I could easily eat every single one in the photos! The brown sugar gives them a nice, molasses twist!
Lora, and Lizzy- such a great duo! Love you both:)…and love, love the delicious and beautiful Brown Sugar Caramels, Lizzy!
Lizzy is the master of sweet treats – these caramels are no exception. They look and sound incredible!
Hi Lora, thanks Lizzy for this recipe. The caramels look perfect and delicious! I must try it. Thank you Lora for sharing it.
Lora, and Lizzy, these caramels looks amazing! Definitely adding to my list this year!
Oh wow Lizzy, these look amazing! They could have come from the finest of sweets shops!
These look fantastic! We love caramels too and I'm afraid these wouldn't last long around our house!
nice to see Liz here Lora!
Liz you disturbed my inner peace with your home made caramels. I couldn't stop staring at them in google+. By the way Lora thank you for starting up the baking community. It's an honor to be part and I am looking forward to the new google+ experience together with you all.

Q: Show that $\int_{\mathbb{R}} \phi (x) dx= 0$ Let $\phi \in C_{c}^{\infty}\mathbb{(R)}$ . I need to show that $\int_{\mathbb{R}} \phi (x) dx = 0$ iff there exists a function  $\psi \in C_{c}^{\infty}\mathbb{(R)}$ such that $\phi(x) = \psi ' (x)$.
I have absolutely no clue how to begin. Any help with this is appreciated!

A: Hint:
Say $\operatorname{supp}\psi \subseteq [-M, M]$. Then, it follows
$$ \int_{\mathbb R} \phi = \int_{\mathbb R} \psi' = \int_{-M}^M \psi' = \psi(M) - \psi(-M). $$
On other hand, assume $\operatorname{supp} \phi \subseteq [-M, M]$. Then,
$$ \psi(x) = \int_{-M}^x \phi $$
has compact support if and only if
$$ \psi(M) = \int_{\mathbb R} \phi = 0. $$

The wait is over, T.J. Maxx has officially announced the date for their Danbury store Grand Opening.
Earlier this month, we told you all about T.J. Maxx moving from Brookfield to the Berkshire Shopping Center in Danbury. (See original Story Here)
