Once a secret 'pasta speakeasy,' Famiglia Baldassarre on Toronto's Geary Avenue is now widely recognized as making the best homemade pasta in the city.
In a metropolitan region of close to 6.5 million people, there are always a few good secrets, especially in the restaurant business. Foodies and urban tastemakers all seem to be members of some secret fraternity, knowing where to find the best of food and drink, and some of those secrets stay below the radar.
One of those secrets was Famiglia Baldassarre, owned by 35-year old Leandro Baldassarre, generally acknowledged by many of Toronto's best restaurants as the leading maker of a variety of homemade pastas in the city. Baldassarre is also the founder, and it's here where his story takes a most delicious turn, as for many months he was operating what best could be termed a "pasta speakeasy." Known Baldassarre and his team have immense pride in taking the time and effort needed to create the best in authentic handmade Italian pasta only to neighbourhood locals and savvy foodsters, the secret to entry was not a keyhole and a password, like in the days of prohibition, but social media.
Born in Montreal and raised in Vaughan, Ont., Baldassarre's love for pasta began through his love for his Italian family, rolling gnocchi and pinching ravioli with his grandmother.
"My grandmother would wake very early when it was still dark, and she always made me a soft-boiled egg," he says in a recent interview with City Life. "I can still remember the glow of the light over the stove, and that would be the only light on. To this day, I still eat two eggs a day."
"There is a lot of cultural pride in this type of work, and I love it. Tradition is there for a reason. Tradition is faultless"
He took to Italian food immediately and was cooking professionally at Splendido at age 18, learning to make dough for egg-yolk ravioli, pappardelle and capunti. At some restaurants, his brother worked front-of-house, and he now works in Montreal. Baldassarre moved to Italy at the age of 23, where he worked in a Michelin-starred restaurant before returning to Toronto to start his own business.

"I wanted a business built on two things," he says in a recent interview with City Life. "The quality and pride of our work, and the quality of life outside of work. Great pasta and a great home life, and the standard food industry didn't provide that."
In 2010 he rented basement space on College Street and began his wholesale operation to create his pasta, quickly gaining a respected reputation and selling to his old haunt of Splendido as well as Nota Bene, Reds, Stock and eventually multiple Oliver & Bonacini locations. "I had a lot of contacts from working in the restaurant business, so I started making pasta and selling it to my old friends," he recalls. Baldassarre quickly outgrew the basement.
In 2017 he chose a location at 122 Geary Ave. and did his due diligence with the city about required licenses to both manufacture and serve his pasta, but when he applied for his food license, he was told the city's previous information supplied to him was wrong. A 20-year-old bylaw prohibited eating establishments on Geary Avenue.
Undeterred, for months his pasta speakeasy continued to operate. Using Instagram's Stories function (where posts disappear after 24 hours), he would share his daily menus among the "members" of the so-called Societa Pasta Baldassarre. It became one of Toronto's best food secrets, and to this day Baldassarre remains connected to his customers through social media.
But armed with passion and logic about the reality of modern Toronto, he fought city hall and won. Clearly not a secret anymore, customers can dine in the small front space or take meals to go, and menus offer wholesale fresh pasta, beverages and gelato from Bar Ape Gelato, another proud, self-made entrepreneur. They also offer fresh daily pasta lunches served Wednesday to Friday, all true to Baldassarre's passion and his Italian traditions.
The first thing you notice about Baldassarre is his easy and relaxed smile; he's clearly enjoying his work and is at home in his environment. His passion is almost palpable.
"Passion for the food is my No. 1 philosophy, and to compromise that was never an option," he says. "There is a lot of cultural pride in this type of work, and I love it. Tradition is there for a reason. Tradition is faultless."

The Role of the ASUN President
The ASUN President in the executive power of the Association of the University of Nevada, Reno. The President nominates and appoints justices of the Judicial Council and all other officers of the Associated Students. The President submits a proposed budget to the Senate. The President attends meetings of the Nevada System of Higher Education Board of Regents and makes all appointments to University Committees.
The Role of the ASUN Vice President
The ASUN Vice President is a member of the executive cabinet and is charged with fulfilling those duties assigned by the President of the Senate of the Associated Students. The Vice President assists the President in preparing and maintaining an operating budget for ASUN and acts as a liaison between the Senate and the Executive Branch. Also, the Vice President acts as a liaison between the Senate and the ASUN funded student publications and oversees and coordinates the Pack Mentorship Program.
The Role of ASUN Senators
The ASUN Senate is the official voice of the undergraduate students on decisions regarding campus policies, programming, and money spent by the student government on student support services. The senate consists of 25 senators elected from each of the academic schools and colleges. An ASUN Senator, elected by peers in the college, serves a broad set of functions within the Associations. However, the primary role of the Senator is that of a legislator, amending and generating bills and resolutions which best reflect the needs and voices of the students during his or her term as Senator. The Senator is in the prime positions to communicate between students and the heads of colleges.
All changes to the ASUN Constitution require the vote of the student body. These two ballot questions will appear on your ballot March 11 & 12 for you to vote on.
"Shall the Associated Students of the University of Nevada (ASUN) replace all gender pronouns (ex: he, she, they, etc.) in the Constitution of the ASUN with position title (ex: director, senator, commissioner, etc.) in order to be more inclusive to all students on the University of Nevada, Reno campus?"
"Shall the minimum cumulative grade point average qualification to hold office be changed in the ASUN Constitution to require all members of the government of the association, at the time of their election or appointment and throughout their term, to maintain a 2.5 cumulative grade point average instead of a 2.75 cumulative grade point average."

Home » Crime Library » Environmental Crimes » Crimes Against Animals
The Crime Museum is not only concerned with crimes against humanity, but crimes against animals as well.
Sadly, any animal, anywhere in the world, can be a victim of crime. Even our closest companions, our pets can fall victim. Wildlife, horses, and farm animals can also be victims of cruelty and neglect. In some cases, acts perpetrated against animals may not be illegal, but can still be cruel.
At the national level, the largest and most effective animal protection organization is The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS). The HSUS has done more to combat illegal animal cruelty and animal fighting than any other organization in the country. The HSUS has the nation's leading experts on investigating and prosecuting animal abusers, a national tip line to report animal fighting, a standing $5,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and prosecution of an animal fighter, and a fully equipped response team to rescue animals in need. Working with federal and local law enforcement, in 2010, the HSUS rescued thousands of animals from desperate situations of abuse, and where necessary, helped prosecute those responsible.
In Washington DC, the Washington Humane Society (WHS) is the only Congressionally-chartered animal welfare agency in the United States. WHS provides comfort and care to over 30,000 animals each year through its broad range of programs and services including sheltering, adoption, spay and neuter services, CatNiPP (Cat Neighborhood Partnership Program), humane law enforcement, lost and found, human/animal therapy programs and humane education
The following are just some eye-opening facts about animals, crimes and cruelty. We thank The Humane Society of the United States, and the Washington Humane Society, for this information.
Dog Fighting: The Voiceless Victims
Cruel Facts:
Did you know that often, sadistic acts of animal abuse are a stepping stone to abusing humans?
Did you know that in a shocking number of cases, individuals who commit terrible acts of violence against people, such as serial killers, child abusers, spousal abusers and rapists, have a history of animal abuse? For example, as a youth, Albert DeSalvo (the Boston strangler) trapped cats and dogs in crates and abused them.
Did you know that a 1997 study discovered that 40% of animal abusers had committed acts of violence against people?
Did you know that it is estimated nearly 1 million animals a year are abused or killed in connection with domestic violence?
Did you know that according to a July 2004 report by the Chicago Police Department, 70% of people arrested for animal crimes had been arrested for other felonies and 65% had been arrested for battery crimes?
Did you know that 46 states and the District of Columbia currently have laws that make intentional cruelty against an animal a felony charge? Before 1986, only four states had felony animal cruelty laws.
Did you know that dog-fighting and cock-fighting are illegal in all 50 states?
Did you know that pit bulls, in particular, constitute an increasing percentage of victimized animals?
Did you know that neglect and abandonment are the most common forms of companion animal abuse
Did you know that dogs are the most common victims of animal cruelty? Of the 1,880 cruelty cases reported in the media in 2007, 64.5% (1,212) involved dogs.
Did you know that 18 red foxes are killed to make one fox coat, and 55 mink are killed to make one mink coat?
Did you know that wildlife officials estimate that over 100 million wild animals are illegally poached each year in the United States?
Did you know that it has been documented that raccoon dogs, a wild species within the dog family that is often made into fur trim, have been skinned alive for their fur?
Did you know that despite a ban on commercial hunting, a small number of countries still kill thousands of whales every year?
Did you know that many of the dolphins you see in dolphin shows or in swim-with-the-dolphin programs have been violently captured from the wild? These intelligent, self-aware animals are not suited to life in captivity.
Did you know that every year tens of millions of sharks are caught and have their fins hacked off? Shark fins are considered a delicacy among some cultures and countries. These helpless sharks are then thrown back into the ocean, only to drown or bleed to death.
Did you know that it is illegal to sell polar bear skins in the United States but there are no such restrictions in Europe and Japan?
Did you know that it is illegal to import and sell ivory in the United States but that the United States is the second largest ivory market in the world after China?
Humane Society of the United States – (202) 452-1100
The HSUS' Animal Fighting Tip Line, 877-TIP-HSUS, is a nationwide tip line that fields calls from across the country to help stamp out organized animal fighting for good. If you have information about illegal dogfighting or cockfighting, call the tip line to talk to an HSUS investigator; your information will be kept confidential. You may also be eligible for a $5,000 reward. The HSUS offers up to $5,000 for information leading to the arrest and prosecution of an animal fighter.
To help stop illegal hunting, familiarize yourself with your state's wildlife protection laws and report illegal hunting to the state wildlife agency's tip line. Find the number at www.humanesociety.org/poaching.

Live Music Now Scotland is thrilled to announce another commission in 2014 with the 'If it wasn't for their wellies' project, co-commissioned by 14-18 Now, WW1 Centenary Art Commissions.
Drawing on the shared heritage, memories and impressions of war of generations of families in communities associated with the North British Rubber Company, which supplied the British Army with vital supplies such as rubber boots and fire hoses, 'If it wasn't for their wellies' brings together Edinburgh's older residents with Live Music Now Scotland singers and pianists under the charge of composer John Maxwell Geddes.
Following Live Music Now Scotland's unique compositional model, Composing with Care, piloted in the 2013 Luminate Festival on five islands in the Scottish Hebrides, source material from older people was gathered by LMN Scotland soprano Emma Versteeg with accompanist Maryam Sherhan and alumni Phil Gault, baritone, with accompanist Geoffrey Tanti. They performed at older people's venues and thereafter engaged residents in discussion surrounding WWI and the role the North British Rubber Factory played in it. Hours of extremely interesting memories, stories and songs were then passed to Maxwell Geddes who used this as a stimulus and inspiration to create the new suite of songs.
Mezzo-sopranos Jemma Brown and Laura Margaret Smith will premiere the new song cycle on 1 August in the care homes and centres which inspired their composition as well as at a number of public events.
As with all our commissions, the songs will have a life well beyond the project end with musicians incorporating them into their performances across Scotland and beyond.
The full programme of activities being supported by 14-18 NOW can be found here.

Both regular exercise and increased physical activity add years to your life and life to your years. Health benefits are obtained from increasing the amount of any physical activity you do. The more you do, the greater the benefits. Physical activity is any movement that uses energy. Exercise is physical activity that is structured and is done at a certain intensity for a certain length of time. We engage in physical activity for health benefits if we wish to avoid disease and delay death. We engage in physical activity for fitness benefits in order to improve some components of physical fitness (cardio respiratory endurance, muscle strength, muscle endurance, flexibility, and body composition).
Strength training is exercise that uses resistance--for example, weights--to strengthen and condition the musculoskeletal system, improving muscle tone and endurance. "Strength-training" is used as a general term synonymous with other common terms: "weightlifting" and "resistance training." Physiologically, the benefits of consistent strength training include an increase in muscle size and tone, increased muscle strength, and increases in tendon, bone, and ligament strength. Strength-training has also been shown to improve psychological health as well, by increasing self-esteem, confidence and self-worth.
These improvements have a great influence on our physical performance, metabolic efficiency, physical appearance and risk of injury.
If you're like three-quarters of Americans, you don't get the exercise you need. It's not that you don't want to. Finding the time, knowing exactly what to do and how to do it, and expensive gym fees are all reasons that people stay away from fitness. So what are you going to do about it? The answer is simple. Increase your activity level. Not just any activity will do, though, so it's important to take some time and figure out how you can make exercise a part of your normal routine. Once you start putting your new plan into action, it will gradually become habit. Write your goals down and keep an activity log to make sure your health-and-wellness program stays on track.

Home Lifestyle Kendrick Lamar Tour Lights Up Nashville's Bridgestone Arena
Kendrick Lamar Tour Lights Up Nashville's Bridgestone Arena
Zach Jones
Three nights after cleaning up at the MTV Video Music Awards (VMA's), Kendrick Lamar brought his fire performances to Nashville's Bridgestone Arena. 5.4 million viewers tuned into the 2017 VMA's, where Lamar opened up the show with a combo of his big hits "DNA" and "Humble" from DAMN. Lamar took home six Moon Man awards from the event, including Best Video, Best Cinematography, and Best Visual Effects. Nashville pulls big hip-hop names, hosting Drake, Kanye, Beyoncé, Rihanna, but this was my first major hip-hop act in my hometown. I've caught some of them in major cities (Miami, New York City, Vegas) nightclubs and on the festival scene but it was a special opportunity to see one of the best light up Nashville. The latest Kendrick Lamar tour, DAMN, provided an indelible and passionate performance the growing city won't soon forget.
As the city of Nashville grows, supporting a hip-hop act of this magnitude is an incredible achievement to observe coming to fruition. The Country Music Capital of the World playing host to the hottest rapper in the business; think about that for a second. A man who isn't afraid to talk politics and larger issues walking into a town full of country artists, often too concerned with their album sales to speak up. The irony was pervasive, but inviting and a welcome breath of air to the status quo.
There were some lower level seats available for $40 in the hour before the show, so if you missed out it's definitely on you.
D.R.A.M. and YG were capable openers with no real surprises; solid. Broccoli was a crowd favorite, go figure. The atmosphere at that moment was devolving to, well, less than enjoyable smoke. The crowd was evolving into a rowdy and expressive crew thanks to the emphatic language and tone YG used.
Then, it was time for the main show. Time for Kung Fu Kenny, K-Dot, Kendrick Lamar. The Chicago-born, Compton-raised rapper brought the hype to life in an hour and a half set.The passion and fury the main show brought only fueled the crowd's excitement, creating a different Nashville atmosphere. The incident was no mere country concert. DAMN has four non-consecutive weeks at number one on Billboard's 200 Chart to date, and Lamar's performance only emphasized how many fans have enjoyed his latest work.
The show opened with a Kung Fu Kenny-theme, with Lamar fighting off a choreographed ninja on stage with his potent lyrics from "DNA." For those who may not know, Kung Fu Kenny is a Lamar alias referencing Don Cheadle's character in "Rush Hour 2."
"King Kunta" and "Swimming Pools" came in the first half of the set, pleasing longtime fans. Those songs provided a nostalgic atmosphere, but also proved that Lamar's older songs still boast lyrical power.
Lamar's third album to top the chart (To Pimp a Butterfly – 2015, Untitled Unmastered – 2016) actually had all fourteen songs in the Hot 100 simultaneously. He performed eight of them for the Nashville crowd, cementing his legend in the hip-hop community.
Pyro fans were salivating with K-Dot's stage. Flames burst throughout the show, creating a well choreographed atmosphere with the lyrical power. At one point, a 15-foot platform rose for K-Dot. He stood upon it, alluding to the chess mastery of a rap battle, and won over the crowd with the gaudy stage setting and emphatic lyrics.
Kung Fu Kenny closed with "Humble" TWICE, letting the crowd take the lead the first time through before asserting himself the second time around. It was an excellent finish to his performance. The crowd involvement allowed served as a "thank-you" to the energetic fan base, and established a fun precedent for future Kendrick Lamar tour venues.
In my experience, more lyrically intricate rappers like Lamar are rough live performers; however, the night certainly proved Kung Fu Kenny is a Judan in-venue. Sporting his orange prison jumpsuit, Lamar delivered fluidly and lit Bridgestone Arena up all night.
The fan involvement and energy fueled Lamar all-night long, keeping him going when he could have simply been 'good-enough'. Lamar proved that his new albums are as passionate as his old, as well as establishing that his foundational albums still live up to the creativity he know boasts. Nashville was unforgettable, and any fan of the Kendrick Lamar tour system should make their way to witness the lyrical mastery in-person.

A Star Is Born… Well, Reborn Once More


A week ago I stopped to give a lift to a lady with her baby during a heavy down pour by the roadside around lunch time. Despite the fact that the rain was mercilessly hitting the woman and her baby, she declined to take up my offer. She said she was comfortable and was waiting for a taxi. She, however, thanked me for the offer as I drove off.
The fact remains that the lady did not trust my intentions. This is the situation currently in the country. Nobody will risk taking lifts at a time when the media is flooded with news of women and children being kidnapped and their relatives asked for ransom.
In the year 2017, at least 24 cases of kidnap were reported to the police around Kampala. Of these 24, one person was found dead, 15 were rescued alive while eight are still missing. This year has only unfolded to record more and more cases of kidnaps, ransom and murders. In what looks like a growing trend of abductions for ransom in the country, families are living in fear of losing their loved ones. And few, if any, of the families still have confidence in the security organs of this country.
What used to be watched in movies is now here; when the 'bad guys' kidnap someone and then ask for ransom. Analysts believe that this is just a dress rehearsal and the real performance is yet to come. The new wave of crimes stabs the conscience of everyone and we are left to doubt if government still have the capacity to protect the citizens, especially in a situation where even the security operatives are being mentioned among the kidnappers.
On the 14 of February this year, three police officers were detained over kidnapping a Mulago hospital dentist and robbing him of Shs 5.4m. Dr Kenneth Majoku was kidnapped on the 20 of December in Mulago. In September last year, the Flying Squad Unit of the police rescued Mr. Gerald Yashaba, who had been kidnapped by men led by a police superintendent. The kidnappers had threatened to kill him unless he paid a ransom of about Shs360m. What is shocking is the allegation that the kidnapers were reportedly led by superintendent of police Gerald Edyegu.
Police failure to apprehend kidnapping suspects has created outrage in the press and on social media, and exposed the wafer-thin public faith in the police, who are routinely accused of ditching their primary role of fighting crime to focus instead on harassing opposition politicians. When government pledges to provide security for lives and property we don't expect any compromise on this but simply to deliver.
When the South Sudan Consul in Uganda, Emmanuel Dauid Tombe, had his four year old daughter kidnapped last year from Kampala Parents' School, we saw some efforts from the Police Flying Squad which actually brought positive results. The kidnapped girl was held captive for four days with her captors demanding a ransom of Shs18m from her parents before her rescue by the Police Flying Squad.
If government has the will to contain crime they should understand the underlying principle that crime and unemployment are strongly linked. Those who have ever experienced the pangs of hunger or the challenges of poverty know how it can drive you to do unthinkable things. People faced with poverty-related problems will go to great lengths to address their food needs or other necessities of life, even when it means committing crimes.
The neighing poverty and unemployment are likely to spark off drug abuse. Drugs and alcohol will now explain the likelihood of committing crimes. Some social factors pose an especially strong influence over a person's ability to make choices. Drug and alcohol abuse is one such factor. The urge to commit crime to support a drug habit definitely influences the decision process. Both drugs and alcohol impair judgment and reduce inhibitions giving a person greater courage to commit a crime.
Deterrents such as long prison sentences have little meaning when a person is high or drunk.
General vigilance is a key in combating crimes. The cases of kidnap we are seeing today end into murder of the victim whether ransom is paid or not. This means that the kidnappers are usually people known by the victim and their families. Therefore, if you release the victim alive, you have released evidence to implicate the kidnappers. It is from this point of view that people are urged to be vigilant starting with the people close to the family.

Use prompt cards to encourage positive behavior in the workplace. Try using these friendly reminders to get employees to turn their computers off at night. Download free prompts from Recycle Reminders or order free stickers from Universal Eco-Symbol.
Is your workplace part of the food and restaurant industry? Save money and food at the same time. Get connected with charities you can donate unwanted food to via Waste No Food, Food Cowboy or Full Harvest. Simplify the process with a platform such as Spoiler Alert, which helps maximize the ROI of food donation and recovery programs, or the app Copia, which streamlines everything from requesting surplus food pickups to tracking tax deductions.
If you want to go beyond recycling to achieve a green and sustainable workplace, you can receive national and local government incentives. Find out more from the Department of Energy and dsireusa.org. If your workplace partners with Staples, take advantage of their sustainably-minded resources, such as recycling programs and eco-friendly office supplies and furniture.

Q: Can I use the Microsoft Sync Framework to synchronize a local ms access (mdb) database against SQL Server? I see variations of this question have been asked a couple of times, but none of the answers seemed to be definitive.
I'm looking for a yes/no as to whether the sync framework will accept Access database files as a data provider/client without inefficient and complicated workarounds.
I tried reading through the Microsoft documentation, but at a certain point it became Alice In Wonderland.
Thanks in advance.

A: AFAIK, No, not out of the box.
You would have to write your own Custom Provider

The most fragrant Daphne ever!
This is a breeding breakthrough and Perfume Princess is now a multi award-winning variety - voted by experts 'in the trade'.
Perfume Princess has large, very long-lasting and super-fragrant blooms - the blooms are the largest of any Daphne - giving you much more value for money.
The flowers appear in clusters along the entirety of all stems - they are also colour changing, starting mid-pink and fading to white.
It is a perfect shrub to grow in your garden but cut stems make wonderful cut flowers too. Totally winter hardy, guaranteed to grow and thrive anywhere in The UK - MUCH easier to succeed with than any other Daphne offered before.
Delivered as an established plant growing in a 9cm pot.
This fantastic new Daphne originated from a private breeder in New Zealand and has just won the 'Plant of the Year' award in Australia but is perfectly suited for British gardens too! Arguably the best Daphne yet, it's both earlier and longer flowering than other varieties and the blossom makes this Daphne extra special.
Large, fragrant flowers open from dark pink buds into large clusters growing up to 5cm across- as much as four times the size of a regular Daphne - a 3-year-old plant can have as many as 10 clusters along each stem. Aside from the size of its blooms, the mesmerising fragrance 'Perfume Princess' produces really sets this plant apart - it's undoubtedly the sweetest, most divinely scented of all Daphnes.
'Perfume Princess' is also a very easy Daphne to grow. Slow growing and compact, it thrives in a wide range of conditions and is even happy in full sun - making it ideal for novice gardeners and the more experienced alike. Evergreen, the lustrous, dark green leaves add structure and form to your borders, and even when not in flower, it's still a great choice for a large container where space is limited.
Wherever you grow it, make sure that it's in a place where you can fully enjoy the perfumed fragrance that will fill the air when the plant is in bloom.
Supplied as an established plant in a 9cm pot.
Delivered as an established plant growing in a 2L pot.
Grown for their beautiful and intensely fragrant blooms, Daphnes are best planted near paths and doorways or at the front of borders where it is easy to enjoy their delicious fragrance when in flower.
Plants will thrive in sun or part-shade with well-drained soil. They don't like dry roots, so water regularly and deeply.
Daphne will establish best if planted in the spring when the soil is warm - March to Oct.
If your soil is heavy add plenty of well rotted compost to the area and dig it in well. Horticultural sand/grit added to the mix is also beneficial.
Place the plant into the hole, back-filling so that it is at the same depth as was in the pot. Fill around the root ball and firm the soil down gently but firmly. Water well.
Grafted plants should be planted with the join a couple of centimetres below the soil level.
Where necessary after flowering, lightly trim to remove misplaced branches and maintain a compact habit, otherwise a quick clear-up of fallen leaves will suffice.
Problems with wrong items sent. Some plugs did not survive. Only three of the roses ordered survived. As you will see from our orders we have spent a lot of money, next year will tell.
These were another item which were first missed off our order then when the replacements were sent it was found they were sun flowers. A further phone call was made to your office and replacements sent. Again next year will tell.
I'm glad to hear that although you encountered some problems, they were dealt with efficiently. Please keep us updated on your plants' progress.
Nice and healthy and so far so good.
Good quality products at a great price.
I thought it would be a bit bigger.

Royal Hounds is a nonprofit, tax exempt organization in the Seattle area of Washington State and comprised solely of volunteers, who give graciously of their time and love, to this noble breed with the common goal of finding secure and loving homes for the many ex-racing and retired Hounds that grace us with their presence.
● We value compassion and respect for people and animals.
● We value the humane treatment of greyhounds before, during and after their use by the racing industry.
● We advocate education on the importance of responsible pet ownership.
● We believe every greyhound deserves life as a beloved pet.
Our volunteers are committed to finding homes FIRST, and then determining what type of dog will best suit the approved adopters lifestyle and needs. Greyhounds are all different, having different temperaments and personalities. While some may seem similar, no two are alike. They require the correct setting if they are to thrive in their new home and adjust easily to their new life. Adopting from us usually means that there will be a waiting period as we go through the process to match the right dog to your home. During this time we suggest that you research the breed and prepare yourselves for a change in your lifestyle once your dog arrives.
We work closely with Heather Weir DVM, of Nunn Colorado, to match up dogs with the home that best suits their particular temperament. Dr. Weir is very intuitive and always manages to bring us wonderful dogs that fit beautifully into their prospective homes, with a bit of patience and understanding.

Vietnam's Ha Long Bay, named a World Heritage Site in 1994, boasts some 1,600 islands and is home to artisinal fisheries as well as a booming tourism industry. IPO's partnership with Vietnam has helped build an integrated framework from which to manage Vietnam's special coastal resources.
NOAA's National Ocean Service (NOS) participates in many programs, activities and partnerships that involve the greater international "coastal science and management community." Although collaboration with international colleagues occurs in several NOS programs, the NOS International Program Office (IPO) leads most of these efforts. IPO was established to serve as the focal point for NOS-wide international activities and to coordinate with national and foreign government agencies, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), and others.
In the international arena, NOS focuses on integrated coastal management; marine protected area (MPA) management; mitigating impacts from climate change; safe, efficient, and environmentally sound maritime navigation; reducing impacts from natural disasters; and capacity-building. NOS participates in numerous international conferences. This year, it will attend the International Coral Reef Symposium (Okinawa, Japan, June 2004) and the Small Islands Developing States (Mauritius, August 2004).
IPO advances NOS work on MPAs internationally through its partnerships with governments, NGOs, foundations, and MPA networks. In its role as Vice-Chair (Marine) of the World Conservation Union's (IUCN) World Commission on Protected Areas, IPO leads the WCPA-Marine program, which focuses on the following areas:
A partnership with the United Nations Foundation, UNESCO-World Heritage Program, and IUCN to foster an international consensus on new tropical marine, coastal and small island ecosystem sites that merit nomination for protection under the World Heritage Convention. This initiative was undertaken following recognition that fewer than 10 of the 690 World Heritage sites are designated for their tropical coastal, marine and small-island values. The project partners convened a workshop in 2002 to develop a global list of potential candidates for protection, and established pilot project sites to test serial and transboundary nominations to the Convention.
A partnership with IUCN and World Wildlife Fund International to improve the management of MPAs by better assessing the effectiveness of MPA sites. The long-term success of MPAs depends on establishing evidence that MPAs are a useful conservation tool and are being managed effectively. The Management Effectiveness Initiative has developed a guidebook for managers, planners, and other decision makers to accomplish this. The guidebook will be published in early summer of 2004.
Invigorating regional networks of MPAs around the world. Through a Sustainable Fisheries Initiative, NOS/IPO is linking MPAs and fisheries programs in regional networks focused on no-take marine reserves. Two regional projects are underway in Southeast Asia and the Caribbean to develop regional action plans for MPAs.
Implementing a Global Socioeconomic Monitoring Initiative. This program serves to increase understanding of the social, cultural and economic foundation of communities that rely on coastal resources. Increasing coastal managers' capacity to understand and incorporate socioeconomic information into management programs enables them to monitor the socioeconomic impacts of coral reef management programs, understand the values of their resources, and more fully incorporate stakeholders into the management process.
NOS's Management Effectiveness Initiative has developed guidelines for MPA managers to assess effectiveness in accomplishing their goals. This reef off the coast of Belize is within an MPA chosen as one of the pilot sites in which the guidelines were tested.
NOS is also engaged with foreign governments in bilateral work to foster better management of coastal resources through integrated coastal management. IPO has continued work with China, Korea, Vietnam, Japan, South Africa, and others in the exchange and development of ideas, information, skills, research, and techniques critical to successful coastal management.
NOS also is contributing its coastal management expertise to Caribbean nations in support of an effort to mitigate the impacts of climate change. This project will address adaptation to climate change in national development planning and work to protect coastal resources that are coming under increased pressure from climate change as well as from tourism and other impacts. Also within the Caribbean, NOS/IPO is serving as a regional "node" for implementing the UN's Global Programme of Action for the Protection of the Marine Environment from Land-based Activities. In this capacity, NOS is developing watershed and integrated coastal management plans to mitigate land-based coastal pollution in Caribbean States.
Other NOS International Efforts
NOS's National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science collaborate with many international partners as well. A monitoring strategy developed by an NOS scientist in reaction to U.S. Pfiesteria outbreaks is being adapted to respond to Pfiesteria in Australia. Other NOS scientists joined scientists from the Shirshov Institute of Oceanography at Moscow University and the Utrish Center for Marine Biotechnology and Aquaculture to sample the entire Russian coastline of the Black Sea for a harmful algal bloom species known to cause diarrheic shellfish poisoning.
Scientists from Petrobras, Brazil's largest energy company, are meeting with NOS scientists to learn more about the procedures and methodologies of NOS's Mussel Watch Project, part of the National Status and Trends (NS&T) Program for marine environmental quality. France's environmental agency, IFREMER (Institute Français de Recherche pour l'Exploitation de la Mer) continues a multiple-year partnership with NS&T to monitor and compare chemical concentrations in the two nations' coastal waters.
NOS's sustainable fisheries initiative will link MPAs and fisheries programs in regional networks focused on no-take marine reserves, as in these waters of Southern Thailand.
NOS's Office of Response and Restoration responds selectively to spills of oil and hazardous materials worldwide.
NOAA's Coral Reef Conservation Program supports effective management and sound science to preserve, sustain, and restore valuable coral reef ecosystems. The program leads the agency's efforts in NOAA's Coral Reef Information System (CoRIS), which provides a single point of access to NOAA coral reef information and data products. NOS participates in partnerships such as the International Coral Grants Program, which supports international reef research and management efforts, and leads efforts under the International Coral Reef Initiative.
Finally, NOS's Office of Coast Survey is leading an International Hydrographic Commission initiative in the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico to develop and increase the use of electronic nautical charts. The region experiences an extremely large volume of marine transportation. This initiative will not only increase the efficiency of transportation, but also will help protect valuable coastal and marine resources such as the Meso-American Barrier Reef System.

Accepts voluntary opt-out
Canady will not play in 2020 after accepting the NFL's opt-out option for the year, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Canady agreed to a one-year contract with the Cowboys in March. The 2016 sixth-round pick appeared in 13 games, including three starts, with both the Jets and Ravens last season. He will now set his sights on a return in 2021.

Heads to Dallas
Canady agreed to a one-year contract with the Cowboys on Wednesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Networkreports.
Analysis: A 2016 sixth-round pick, Canady made two starts in three-plus seasons with the Ravens and two more starts after the Jets picked him up on waivers in November. He fits best as a fifth cornerback and special teams player, but the Cowboys might need him to play snaps on defense if they aren't able to find a decent replacement for Byron Jones.
Published: Wed, Mar 18 at 12:47pm by Rotowire.com
Tops 20 tackles for two teams
Canady finished the 2019 season with 46 tackles and one interception split between the Ravens and the Jets.
Analysis: Canady appeared in five games with the Ravens, recording 21 tackles and his lone interception of the season. He battled hamstring and thigh injuries during his time with Baltimore, and the team eventually opted to waive Canady rather than wait for him to get healthy. The cornerback was then scooped up by the Jets, for whom he recorded 25 tackles in eight games. He'll be an unrestricted free agent this offseason.
Published: Sun, Jan 26 at 6:04pm by Rotowire.com
Active Sunday
Canady (illness) is active for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
Analysis: Canady was considered questionable due to the illness but will be able to play Week 14. The 25-year-old played 71 percent of defensive snaps last week and could see an expanded role again Sunday with Jamal Adams (ankle), Arthur Maulet (calf), Brian Poole (concussion) and Matthias Farley (ribs) all inactive in the secondary.
Published: Sun, Dec 8 at 9:55am by Rotowire.com
Questionable for Week 14
Canady (illness) is officially questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Dolphins.
Analysis: Canady returned to practice in a limited fashion both Thursday and Friday after being sidelined Wednesday. Although he appears to be trending in the right direction, his status Sunday will depend on how he is feeling closer to kickoff.
Published: Sat, Dec 7 at 8:20am by Rotowire.com
Plucked off waivers
The Jets claimed Canady off waivers from the Ravens on Wednesday.
Analysis: Canady couldn't stay out of the trainer's room in Baltimore, as he suited up just four games. He recorded 20 tackles (18 solo) and a pass breakup in that stretch. Now that he's healthy, Canady will get another chance with Gang Green, helping provide depth since Trumaine Johnson (ankle) was placed on injured reserve.
Published: Wed, Nov 6 at 4:33pm by Rotowire.com
Waived by Baltimore
Canady (thigh) was waived by the Ravens on Tuesday.
Analysis: Canady was a victim of his own health as well as the De'Anthony Thomas signing. The 25-year-old racked up 21 tackles (19 solo) with an interception, three passes defensed and a forced fumble in five games with the Ravens.
Published: Tue, Nov 5 at 4:12pm by Rotowire.com
Sitting out Sunday
Canady (thigh) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against the Patriots.
Analysis: Canady will sit out his second straight contest with this thigh issue. Once he returns to action, he may be limited in the snap department after the acquisition of Marcus Peters and Jimmy Smith (knee) getting healthy.
Published: Sun, Nov 3 at 4:20pm by Rotowire.com
Questionable for Sunday
Canady (thigh) is listed as questionable for Sunday night's game against the Patriots.
Analysis: Canady participated in Friday's practice on a limited basis and last saw action in Week 6 against the Bengals. If the 25-year-old is able to go, he'll likely fill a depth role in the Ravens' secondary.

Meanwhile, yesterday saw Kelly debuting new track "Love Race". The song, which features Kellin Quinn and Travis Barker, follows on from last month's CORPSE collaboration "Daywalker!", which marked MGK's first single of 2021. His latest studio album, Tickets To My Downfall, came out in September 2020.
Machine Gun Kelly is also due to perform at Reading & Leeds festivals this August alongside headliners Liam Gallagher, Stormzy, Post Malone, Catfish & The Bottlemen and Queens Of The Stone Age.

Slated to begin September 9 in Minneapolis, Minnesota at The Armory, his 28-city trek will include stops in New York, Los Angeles, Dallas, and Denver. For the tour's finale, MGK will perform in his hometown of Ohio at the city's largest venue, The Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse. Special guests will also accompany the polymath star throughout the dates, ranging from carolesdaughter, jxdn, and KennyHoopla.

MD Anderson's James Allison Wins 2015 Lasker Prize For Immunotherapy Discoveries
Allison is being honored for his discovery of a drug that uses the body's immune cells – specifically the T cells – to fight cancer. Clinical trials have shown significant benefit for patients with advanced melanoma and lung cancer.

James Allison, Ph.D., the chairman of Immunology at MD Anderson Cancer Center, has won the Lasker-DeBakey Clinical Medical Research Award for 2015.
The annual Lasker awards, now in their 70th year, are known as "America's Nobels." Allison is being honored for his discovery of a drug that uses the body's immune cells — specifically the T cells — to destroy cancer.
His eureka moment came as he studied how T cells get going– they have surface proteins that act as both engines and brakes. The "engines" marshal the T cells and spur them to attack foreign substances like bacteria and abnormally-developing cells that could become cancer. The "brakes" work by reining in the powerful T cells, which otherwise would proliferate and attack the body's own tissues.
Other scientists had tried to rev the engines of the T cells to attack cancer. But Allison focused on the brakes. He realized that cancer cells were successfully tricking the brakes on T cells, and he knew he had to release the brakes to allow T cells to fight.
"So I had the idea just to eliminate the brakes temporarily," he said. "And maybe it would eliminate cancer."
Allison tested the idea in mice in the 1990s, and then pushed for years to get a drug company to take a chance on clinical trials. The new drug he developed, called Yervoy (ipilimumab), has shown astounding results in patients with advanced melanoma. Previously, most of those patients died in a matter of months.
James Allison, chair of Immunology at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, has won the 2015 Lasker-DeBakey Clinical Medical Research Award for his T-cell research and development of the cancer immunotherapy drug Yervoy.
Yervoy extended the survival of 22 percent of those patients to four or more years.
When Yervoy is combined with a second immunotherapy drug that works on another T cell "brake," almost half of the advanced melanoma patients had a significant response. (Long-term survival of that drug combination is still being studied.)
"It was a very radical approach to cancer, because basically it said ignore cancer," Allison said. "We're not treating the cancer cell, we're treating the patient's immune system."
"And secondly, we're not trying to say: 'Oh, we know what the right thing to attack is.' We said: 'We'll take the brakes off, and just let the immune system do what it would do, anyway.' And so for those reasons, people thought it was kind of nutty for a long time."
Immunotherapy has also shown success in lung cancer and is being tested against other types too.
Allison will accept his Lasker prize next week in New York City. Eighty-six recipients of the award have later gone on to get a Nobel Prize.

My struggle to take son out
THE mother of a young disabled boy reckons "easy" access to her home fitted by council workmen has made life even more difficult.
Sarah Nicholls, of Arbury Avenue, Foleshill, Coventry, called on the city council for help in making adaptations to her home to help her and her disabled son Jordan Drinkwater, aged 10.
But Coventry City Council says it has done all it can to improve access - and even advised the family against moving to their new home because it would be unsuitable for disabled access.
Sarah, aged 29, a full-time mum who is seven months pregnant with her third child, said she has difficulty moving Jordan, who has cerebral palsy, out of the front door.
When workmen arrived to carry out adaptations, Sarah and husband Matt were hoping they would widen the front door and fit a ramp down to the garden path.
But instead they built another access from the back garden which leads to an alleyway bringing them out on the street - 100 yards from their home.
Now Matt has fitted a makeshift ramp - but they say they want the council to help find a more permanent solution.
Sarah said: "Whilst my husband is working and I am at home caring for the children, I am expected in all weather to take the children, and soon a newborn baby, via this route every time I wish to leave my house, and twice a day to take my son out to his special needs school bus.
"Our other worry is as Jordan gets older he will get bigger and will need bigger wheelchairs.
"The council's measures do not solve anything. When work commenced on a downstairs bedroom and shower room we were told that our home would be made accessible for our son.
"The council's idea of access is a pathway down our back garden, through our entry, eventually leading on to our street several houses away.
"Our entry is overgrown, unlevel, often very muddy and wet and certainly not suitable or safe terrain for a wheelchair."
But a council spokesman said today the authority's housing grants team worked closely with the couple before they bought the house, and advised them that the property would be unsuitable for disabled access.
He said: "We have carried out extensive work inside the house but unfortunately it is only suitable for a back-door ramp."

11 States Just Banded Together to Take Legal Action Against Biden's Vaccine Mandate
November 6, 2021 Jimmy Brown Latest News 0
Attorneys general in 11 states filed suit Friday against President Joe Biden's administration, challenging a new vaccine requirement for workers at companies with more than 100 employees.
The lawsuit filed in the St. Louis-based 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals argues that the authority to compel vaccinations rests with the states, not the federal government.
"This mandate is unconstitutional, unlawful, and unwise," said the court filing by Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt, one of several Republicans vying for the state's open U.S. Senate seat next year.
New regulations by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration require that companies with more than 100 employees force their workers to be vaccinated against COVID-19 or be tested for the virus weekly and wear masks on the job.
The requirement is to kick in Jan. 4.
Failure to comply could result in penalties of nearly $14,000 per violation.
Schmitt said Missouri has 3,443 private employers who could be covered by the vaccine requirement, with nearly 1.3 million employees.
He said he sued "to protect personal freedoms, preserve Missouri businesses, and push back on bureaucratic tyrants who simply want power and control."
🚨 BREAKING: This morning, Missouri led a coalition of 11 states in filing suit to HALT the Biden Administration's unlawful vaccine mandate on private employers, making us the first states to file suit.

The Biden administration has been pushing widespread vaccinations — under threat of job loss, if necessary — as the quickest way out of the pandemic.
Missouri was joined in the lawsuit by the Republican attorneys general of Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming.

« I do think it's a little more interesting when things are offbeat; I'm drawn to that in what I wear, and also it applies to different aspects of my life. You're not following the obvious form – I rather enjoy that. »
« I believe that we're not alone. How can we be alone in an infinite universe? I'm using the word alien with a little trepidation because I know that sparks so many different versions of that word and there are so many different images that come in to one person's head when someone says it. So I wouldn't say I believe in aliens, but other life forms, absolutely. Think about the realms of possibility. The universe is so enormous and we have no idea what's on the other side of the galaxy. »
« I feel there will be times when I will be working on jobs I love, and then there will be in-between periods where I hold back to find something that I'm passionate about. I think it's very important to make sure I'm dedicated and invested in my future projects. »
« Living in France as a child made me feel European. My mum went to the Sorbonne university in Paris and always had a love affair with the place. My parents decided to give us the experience of living there too. I hated it at first, but, in the end, I loved it and I still speak fluent French. »
« I am a firm believer in being ambitious – if you don't take part in the race then you can't sulk if you don't win. It's not about being cut-throat or taking opportunities away from others, it's about working as hard as you possibly can to attain your own personal goal – if you're wanting to pursue what you dream of doing for the rest of your life then you have to count yourself in the race if you want to succeed. »
« I'm a dinosaur when it comes to social media. I don't have any personal accounts, so I don't really know if there's much attention. I'm aware because of the shows and there is some element of hype behind it. But I genuinely, genuinely don't try to engage on that front. I try to keep myself relatively private. I don't really look for anything so it's not really there in my periphery. »
« I think it's important to do your own projects that mean a lot to you individually rather than be associated with someone else. I'm a big believer in doing your own thing. »
« My dream of acting came from the stage, from going to the theatre in the West End in London with my family. So my love of acting really grew from seeing plays, and then from performing in them. Doors were opened to the world of film and television once I started going to TV auditions – it was an organic introduction to the screen, that grew from working on stage. I used to be in plays all through school – so it's always somewhere in the back of mind to return to theatre at some point. »
« I would say certainly the characters that appeal to me most are the women who are thrown out of their comfort zone. Seeing them grapple with their new situation – realising they have backbone and being able to fight against the tide – you could term that as strong. »
[about private life] « I think I would have been incredibly naive in setting out into this industry and thinking that is not something you sacrifice. I'm fully aware, and I know all the other cast members are, that is something you kind of give up if you are lucky enough to be on a show of this magnitude. I do feel there is some power within the actor to either embrace that or not, and so you can either put yourself out there with Twitter and Instagram and Facebook, or you can hang back on the sidelines. It's obviously a personal preference, and it's a wonderful thing to still be given opportunities, but I don't think it has to be the be-all end-all. »
« Family, for me, is the most important thing because it is constant and real. Much as I love my job, it picks you up and it puts you down. »
« My plan B has always been psychology. I'm fascinated at observing human nature and body langage, and I think it kind of correlates with what an actor does in that respect. So if my career dries up, I reckon that will be my next conquest. »
[about seeing gifs of her on internet] « I think it's a lovely thing to experience. Also it's great to know the character is still being loved and still living on through the Internet. It's a nice accolade. »
« My favourite memory from any job – and I think it's going to be very hard to surpass – was being in Iceland where we filmed [Game of Thrones] for 7 months. Every scene was beautiful; oh my God it's just breathtaking, whether we were on a frozen lake or up in the mountains or just surrounded by this extraordinary landscape. I felt like I was on the moon sometimes. »
« I think the wonderful thing about having gone to drama school is they made every single person well aware of just how cut-throat and hard this industry can be. So I was all too aware that it's a marathon, not a sprint. »
« I'm extremely close to my mum. She's a wise woman whom I admire so much. When I was cast as Ygritte, she ploughed through the books and became a fan of the show. Dad was not, though, as interested in Game of Thrones as my mum. We once bumped into each other at Heathrow – he was on a business trip, I was flying out to Iceland for season three of the series. He said, 'Rosie! What are you doing here?' And when I explained, he said vaguely, 'Yes, yes. I think I knew about that show.' Not too sure he did, though. »
« I wish I were as tough and strong as the women that I'm lucky enough to portray. I suddenly feel that I've learned a lot when it comes to standing up for your beliefs and answering back if you think that something is wrong, or if you're passionate about something you believe in. »
