Saint Reagan vs RNC.
Former President Ronald Reagan's son and namesake Ron Reagan is literally the poster-person against religion. While the younger Reagan has been doing ads on news channels for the Freedom from Religion Foundation, it will be his father's words that will hover over the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, Ohio in July.
"We establish no religion in this country… Church and state are, and must remain, separate," the billboard will read.
"The RNC needs to be reminded that our nation is predicated on a godless and entirely secular Constitution," she said. "The fate of our Establishment Clause hangs in the balance of the election. We're not voting for the next president — we're voting for the next Supreme Court justice."
The local chapter director, Marni Huebner-Tiborsky, agreed that the message is an important one for Republican leaders to remember. "This billboard couldn't be any more timely, and is definitely needed to remind our political leaders and the public that political campaigns should stick to a secular platform, where real change can happen," she says.
Full Story Here. While I do think this might turn some heads, I doubt it will make a serious impact at this late date in the game. I also think the current crop of repubs is simply too far gone to consider this seriously, although it will hurt to see St. Ronnie going against their constant screed.

Atheist Perspective in Times of Tragedy.
Alternately, Thoughts and Prayers # 896,367.
The aftermath of our all too regular mass homicides follows a familiar pattern. "Thoughts and prayers" are with survivors, victims' families and the affected city. There are defiant assertions from the horrorstruck that, "We will not tolerate this any longer."
Some politicians call for an end to hate and better coordination between law enforcement agencies. And others, when there's a whiff of Islamic heritage involved, play the "enemy is here" card, recklessly injecting accelerant into the roiling emotions of the moment.
For the media, standard reaction reporting involves transcribing pretty much all of the above. In the case of the Boston Marathon bombing, the Ft. Hood shooting, Paris, San Bernardino and now Orlando, it's also standard practice to log the response from leaders of various religious faiths, most of whom encourage restraint and emphasize that Muslims themselves are collateral victims of these atrocities. The good, dutiful notion being to develop a body of sympathy that reflects solidarity among the broader local religious community.
While the Strib and the PiPress haven't gone the latter route yet, at least when I called Monday, National Public Radio was hitting all the customary notes.
And all that is fine insofar as the objective is to register the solidarity of the community at large. But if the intention is ever to discuss the "perversion of religion," a common enough refrain today and in past incidents involving radicalized Muslims, there's at least one group, silent but no longer all that small or irrelevant, that the media rarely draws into these discussions, such as they are: atheists.
"I think we were called once, some time after 9/11," says August Berkshire. "And no, no one else has called today."
Berkshire is the founder and past president of MinnesotaAtheists . He's been active in the cause of challenging the belief systems of organized religions since the mid-1980s and jokes that current membership in the state is "probably around 250,000, although most haven't paid their dues yet."
Humor aside, Berkshire, a local delivery truck driver by day, is serious about the value of inserting an atheist perspective into conversations about religiously inspired violence. "Look, prayer didn't do anything to stop this latest attack and prayer won't do anything to stop this kind of violence from happening again. All it may do is make some people feel good for a while."
But if the point is to engender an honest debate, you'd expect the atheist view to at least have a seat at the media table in moments like this. "Look," says Berkshire, "at their origin, all three of the Abrahamic religions — Christianity, Judaism and Islam — preach and warn against homosexuality. They're antigay. A lot of their followers today may be cafeteria Christians, Jews and Muslims, picking and choosing what they want. But I'm talking at their scriptural origins. We reject that. Atheists reject the teachings of religions for a lot of reasons, but among them is the lack of respect for science. Atheists, if I have to point it out, are very accepting of gay equality and other minority issues. We understand that."
With 23 percent of Americans in 2014 describing themselves as "nones," which is to say having no religious affiliation, a nearly 50 percent increase since 2007, the atheist, or agnostic or "nothing in particular" perspective would seem to warrant at least as much regular reporting as what we get on priests, ministers and rabbis, certainly more than the "almost never" Berkshire describes.
Perhaps the problem with pulling atheists into a conversation about the "perversion of religion" is that spokespeople like Berkshire lack the curriculum vitae of traditional religious leaders. I mean, a guy who drives a truck cheek by jowl in a discussion with a priest, a minister and a rabbi?
But maybe the real issue is that the taint of taboo that still hangs to word "atheist." Conventional journalism is partial to conventional wisdom and despite the steadily slumping numbers in church/synagogue/mosque attendance — and the rapid increase in those tuning out traditional religious messages — conventional journalistic wisdom has not yet reached a comfort point with overt atheism. Until that point is reached, speculation here is that mainstream news organizations will continue to treat it like a semi-reputable curiosity.

Atheists are cowards and the police ignore the law.
Christian street preachers clash with authorities (YouTube/Buddy Fisher)
Naturally, Christians showed up at the Reason Rally to do some preaching. It takes time to get to the clash between the U.S. Park officers and the preachers (around the 9:00 minute mark), so I listened to a fair amount of the standard nonsense, mostly about hell, but there was one interesting bit. The preacher (who is, I assume, Buddy Fisher) is carrying on about us decadent atheists, how we love our sin, our drunkenness, our sex outside marriage, our…muff diving. The preacher seemed to realize that he may have skittered off the rails a bit with that one, and quickly moved to a different tack. Back to more of the same old, if we're just a bag of chemicals, there's no love, yada, yada, yada, some odd stuff about Hemingway being an authentic atheist because he killed himself, and before long, the park cops show up. They are quiet, and polite, and explain that the preachers have a choice of two different locations to where they can move. Oh no. No, no, no. Preacher whips out this paper, and explains this court case, and that they have The Heckler's Veto! You can't make us move! Magic Court Papers! (I think the court case was Bible Believers v. Wayne County.) They keep arguing, the video ends.
Oh look, here comes the continuation! A description on the second video reads: "Part 2 of unlawfully being removed from the Reason Rally 2016 in Washington DC. Officers Burnett and White unlawfully remove Christians from an event that is free and open to the public being held by a group of atheists with a non-exclusive permit. Their permit allows them to set up the stage, amplifiers, etc, but does not give them the authority to remove us from public property. Atheists are cowards and the police ignore the law."

The End of Absolutes: America's New Moral Code.
Christian morality is being ushered out of American social structures and off the cultural main stage, leaving a vacuum in its place—and the broader culture is attempting to fill the void. New research from Barna reveals growing concern about the moral condition of the nation, even as many American adults admit they are uncertain about how to determine right from wrong. So what do Americans believe? Is truth relative or absolute? And do Christians see truth and morality in radically different ways from the broader public, or are they equally influenced by the growing tide of secularism and religious skepticism?
Again with this "oh no, Christianity is on the very brink of extinction!" The hell it is. If that were the case, then why are constant attempts to legislate Christian bigotry happening every 5 bloody seconds? Why is there a never ending fight against Christian based hatred of this group, that group, every group but the Christian one? All this wailing and weeping over nothing.
While most American adults agree that culture plays some role in establishing moral norms, a majority also agrees "the Bible provides us with absolute moral truths which are the same for all people in all situations, without exception" (59%). There is broad agreement across age groups, which is surprising when one considers the notable generational differences on other questions related to morality. When it comes to faith groups, practicing Christians (83%), as one might expect, are much more likely to agree with the statement than others, especially those with no faith (28%). In fact, more than half of practicing Christians strongly agree (56%).
I am sick to death of Christian 'morality'. There's no such thing. What there is, is Christian hate. What passes for Christian morality is patriarchal privilege, sitting in judgment and ruling over every tiny aspect of others' lives. If that patriarchal privilege is eroded even by the smallest amount, the wailing, weeping, gnashing of teeth, and panic sets in.
Americans are both concerned about the nation's moral condition and confused about morality itself. As nominally Christian moral norms are discarded what, if anything, is taking their place? Barna's research reveals the degree to which Americans pledge allegiance to the "morality of self-fulfillment," a new moral code that, as David Kinnaman, President of Barna argues, has all but replaced Christianity as the culture's moral norm.
Emphasis is mine. Once again, the fuck it has. Mr. Kinnaman, is the president of Barna, supposedly a non-partisan organization, who has written a book about faith and being a good Christian. So, we continue with the stream of melodramatic glurge from those who insist that Christianity is dying, slain by secularism.
The morality of self-fulfillment can be summed up in six guiding principles, as seen in the table below.
"The highest good, according to our society, is 'finding yourself' and then living by 'what's right for you,'" says David Kinnaman, president of Barna Group in Good Faith: Being a Christian When Society Thinks You're Irrelevant and Extreme. "There is a tremendous amount of individualism in today's society, and that's reflected in the church too. Millions of Christians have grafted New Age dogma onto their spiritual person. When we peel back the layers, we find that many Christians are using the way of Jesus to pursue the way of self. . . . While we wring our hands about secularism spreading through culture, a majority of churchgoing Christians have embraced corrupt, me-centered theology.

Ray Comfort & The Reason Rally, Part II.
Ray Comfort and Subway gift cards that had been intended for Reason Rally attendees (Image courtesy Ray Comfort)
Remember Ray's plan to invade the Reason Rally, and sway black, atheist hearts with cheap Subway gift cards? Well, Washington police have nixed his grand plan:
Ray Comfort is reluctantly canceling plans to give books and gift cards for Subway sandwiches to atheists at a coming rally in Washington. Police forced him to cancel, he explained to WND, because of the size of his contingency. More than 1,000 Christians had volunteered to help hand out the gifts to atheists who will be attending this year's Reason Rally. […] The huge number of people who volunteered to join him apparently caused concern among Washington police. "To the D.C. police," he said, "that constituted a protest and therefore we needed a permit to gather. We would have to stay at the other end of the National Mall, and they said that if we persisted to approach atheists to speak with them we would be arrested."
He still plans to be there with a crew of 17 people.
"In what is so often a cruel world, we tried to show a little kindness and it didn't work. So it now looks like we will be eating Subway sandwiches for the next 40 years," he said.
A little kindness? Oh, ever the liar, Ray. You were grandstanding again, looking to feed your ego, rather than doing something truly kind, like feeding people who are desperately hungry. It seems even when your planned arrogance is quashed, you still can't manage that simple act of kindness.

Schoolboard Says No to "In God We Trust".
On Tuesday night, the Waynesboro [Pa] Area School Board voted on a motion to accept a gift of several plaques that say "In God We Trust," and put them up in the lobbies of six district public schools. Local businessman Tom McCloud officially offered the plaques as donations to the county's public schools back in March.
Several supporters of the national motto spoke up at Tuesday's school board meeting, in favor of installing the plaques. "It's such a positive story, it's such a uniting force," said Pennsylvania State Representative Rick Saccone (R-Allegheny and Washington). "Our kids need that…sorely need that today."
Not everyone agrees, however – atheist groups in Pennsylvania have already come out against it. While most who spoke at the school board meeting support the plaques, one Navy veteran, who called himself a "proud Christian," took the podium to oppose the plaques.
"Many members of the community – Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, atheist – all pay taxes and support," said John Bryan, a resident of the Waynesboro area. "They might not wish their child to see that in the school, and I believe the proper place for it is in church or in the home."
On the other hand, critics said "In God We Trust" only gained popularity during the Cold War era. The words became the national motto in 1956, during the "Red Scare" toward Soviet Russia and communism.
"There is absolutely no mention of God in our founding documents, and there is a reason for that," Bryan added. "E pluribus unum – out of many people, out of many cultures, out of many religions – we come together as one people."
Way to go, Mr. Bryan, and thank you. Full Story Here.
Dawkins: I've Given Up Twitter.

Some of the professor's most heated recent spats have unfolded on social media. He has qualified some of his Twitter remarks and lamented that medium's lack of nuance, but embraces it nonetheless.
Or at least, he used to.
"I've given up Twitter," Prof Dawkins says quietly but curtly. The tweets that appear in his name, apparently, are the work of the staff at his Foundation for Reason and Science.
"I occasionally ask them to post something, which they do, but I've given up doing it myself."

University of Miami Establishes Chair for Study of Atheism.

With an increasing number of Americans leaving religion behind, the University of Miami received a donation in late April from a wealthy atheist to endow what it says is the nation's first academic chair "for the study of atheism, humanism and secular ethics."
The chair has been established after years of discussion with a $2.2 million donation from Louis J. Appignani, a retired businessman and former president and chairman of the modeling school Barbizon International, who has given grants to many humanist and secular causes — though this is his largest so far. The university, which has not yet publicly announced the new chair, will appoint a committee of faculty members to conduct a search for a scholar to fill the position.
"I'm trying to eliminate discrimination against atheists," said Mr. Appignani, who is 83 and lives in Florida. "So this is a step in that direction, to make atheism legitimate."
Religion departments and professors of religious studies are a standard feature at most colleges and universities, many originally founded by ministers and churches. The study of atheism and secularism is only now starting to emerge as an accepted academic field, scholars say, with its own journal, conferences, course offerings and, now, an endowed chair.

No Religion on the Rise in England and Wales.

The number of people who say they have no religion is rapidly escalating and significantly outweighs the Christian population in England and Wales, according to new analysis.
The proportion of the population who identify as having no religion – referred to as "nones" – reached 48.5% in 2014, almost double the figure of 25% in the 2011 census. Those who define themselves as Christian – Anglicans, Catholics and other denominations – made up 43.8% of the population.
"The striking thing is the clear sense of the growth of 'no religion' as a proportion of the population," said Stephen Bullivant, senior lecturer in theology and ethics at St Mary's Catholic University in Twickenham, who analysed data collected through British Social Attitudes surveys over three decades.
"The main driver is people who were brought up with some religion now saying they have no religion. What we're seeing is an acceleration in the numbers of people not only not practising their faith on a regular basis, but not even ticking the box. The reason for that is the big question in the sociology of religion."
The new analysis will fuel concern among Christian leaders about growing indifference to organised religion. This year the Church of England said it expected attendance to continue to fall for another 30 years as its congregations age and the millennial generation spurns the institutions of faith.
According to Bullivant's report, Contemporary Catholicism in England and Wales – which will be launched at the House of Commons on Tuesday, both the Anglican and Catholic churches are struggling to retain people brought up as Christians.
Four out 10 adults who were raised as Anglicans define themselves as having no religion, and almost as many "cradle Catholics" have abandoned their family faith to become "nones".
Neither church is bringing in fresh blood through conversions. Anglicans lose 12 followers for every person they recruit, and Catholics 10.
The vast majority of converts come from other Christian denominations, rather than non-Christians or people with no religion. "There's a kind of denominational musical chairs," said Bullivant. "No one is making serious inroads into the non-Christian population."
A spokesperson for the Church of England said: "The increase in those identifying as 'no faith' reflects a growing plurality in society rather than any increase in secularism or humanism. We do not have an increasingly secular society as much as a more agnostic one.
"In a global context, adherence to religion is growing rather than decreasing. Christianity remains the world's largest religion with over 2 billion adherents. In the UK the latest census found the overwhelming majority of people to have a faith."

Atheist billboards in Sioux City, South Dakota.
Pastor Jeff Hayes of Faith Temple Church responded to 20 atheist-themed billboards in his city that display messages such as "God didn't create man" and "prayer doesn't work," by telling local news station KOTA-TV that atheists who criticize religion might just be "pre-Christian people" who need prayer to experience a personal spiritual awakening.
"I think it's good for Christians to have a reaction and we can be negative toward the Free Thinkers but I think we should just pray for them and just believe that, wow if there is a God, is He big enough to reveal Himself to them," Hayes added.
"Pre-Christian". Is this like "Pre-Owned" and "Pre-Born"?
Russian atheists launch group to fight for equal rights

The Atheists of Russia movement has held its founding convention in Moscow, setting its primary goal as resistance to the growing influence of religion and appointing an activist from a vocal leftist party as its leader.
According to Interfax about 300 people from 50 regions across Russia took part in the founding convention. They declared that their group will fight against the influence of religious institutions on society.
"Believers and atheists must have equal rights, the state has no right to interfere with the activities of any church, but the same applies to religions – they have no right to interfere with the affairs of the state," the newly appointed leader of the movement, Ilya Ulianov, told reporters on Friday.
I wish them all the best, and if there are ways to help, I will. The Russian Orthodox church won't give a fraction of an inch willingly. In related news, the rarely publicized, but ongoing actual persecution of atheists continues:
Should it be a crime to deny the existence of God?
In the Russian city of Stavropol, Viktor Krasnov, a 38-year-old man, faces trial, charged with publicly insulting Orthodox Church believers by supporting atheism in social media. For proclaiming in a heated Internet exchange "there is no God," Krasnov was confined for a month to a local hospital for psychiatric evaluation. If convicted under Russia's blasphemy law, enacted in 2013 and making it illegal to "insult the religious convictions or feelings of citizens," he may spend up to a year in prison.
Russia, however, is not the only country where atheists face punishment. As noted in country chapters of its Annual Report, released on Monday, the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF), on which we serve, has found no shortage of nations that perpetrate or permit their persecution. It is time for our country to shine a powerful spotlight on these abuses.

Kali Holloway has an article at AlterNet about how America compares to the rest of the world.
…The conservative American notion that people with far better healthcare, civil rights laws and gun control "hate our freedom" is a wishful imperialist delusion. Worse, it's not fooling anybody at this point.
That said, if all the world's a stage, America is a prime player: a rich, loud, attention-seeking celebrity not fully deserving of its starring role, often putting in a critically reviled performance and tending toward histrionics that threaten to ruin the show for everybody else. (Also, embarrassingly, possibly the last to know that its career as top biller is in rapid decline.) To the outside onlooker, American culture—I'm consolidating an infinitely layered thing to save time and space—is contradictory and bizarre, hypocritical and self-congratulatory. Its national character is a textbook study in narcissistic tendencies coupled with crushing insecurity issues.
How to reconcile a country that fetishizes violence and is squeamish about sex; conflates Christianity and consumerism; says it loves liberty yet made human rights violations a founding principle? In conversations with non-Americans, should the topic of the U.S. come up, there are often expressions of incredulity and bewilderment about things that seem weird when you aren't from here. Talk and think about those things enough, and they also start to seem objectively weird if you are from here, too.
That perception is held even by countries that share similarities with America. The Pew Research Center rounded up surveys from recent years that point out some of the ways American and European attitudes diverge, not infrequently widely. Obviously, there's plenty of cultural difference among European countries, and surveys aren't necessarily nuanced in describing how the citizens of entire countries see the world. But these polls do tell us something about the things large swaths of those countries agree on, as well as how those popular ideas tend to differ from pervasive notions and sensibilities within America.

And Kings prospect Linden Vey is more than warm right now. His November already includes back-to-back Player of the Week honors from his junior team, the Medicine Hat Tigers. Plus, he was named the WHL Player of the Game in the just completed Subway Super Series.
His scored a goal in the second game of the WHL vs. Russia portion of series (Russia had previously played a pair of games against both the QMJHL and OHL). That meant four of the five Kings prospects had goals in the tournament. Of course, that excludes their sixth prospect (goalie JF Berube) for obvious reasons – as in, he was busy guarding his own net, not trying to score in the other one.
Vey, a 6-foot right wing taken in the fourth round of the 2009 NHL Draft, came into the series following a four point night for Medicine Hat (1g, 3a) – which topped his three point effort the game before (1g, 2a).
MM: This was your second time playing in the tournament. Overall, how would you compare last year's experience to this year – better, worse or just different?
LV: I think this year you have to give the Russians credit. I think they brought over a much better team. This year they were really competitive and it showed over the six games they played in the series. So, it was just a little bit different. But, it was fun both years.
It started with a scramble by their blueline. The puck came to me and I just chipped it by both guys and it turned into a one-on-one. I just tried to get a quick shot on net. When I saw the five-hole was open I put it there and it snuck through.
Besides your stats, how would you rate your performance in the series? Were you happy with your overall play?
In the first game I struggled quite a bit. I had a lot of travel issues the night before. We had a blizzard in Medicine Hat. So, there was no travel out and I couldn't get to Calgary. The weather wasn't very good the next day either. My assistant coach had to drive me to Calgary so I could get to Kamploops (for the Super Series). It took us almost twice as long as normal to get there. So, it was quite the journey. By traveling all day and not getting there until the afternoon of the first game (game five of the series, the first against the WHL), I didn't feel myself. So, I struggled a little bit – especially with my legs. I thought I was better in the second game, but we still didn't come out with the win.
Knowing that Russia had never won the tournament before, how disappointing was it to lose both games to them this week?
Real disappointing, especially the first night. We were up 3-0. Then, we had a two goal lead going into the last 10 minutes of the third period and we let it slip. So, it's frustrating. At the same time, you just have to put it behind you because there was another game to play. You have to give them credit too. They played well. They sent over a real good team and battled hard. I thought they played real well, especially in the second game when they got up a couple goals on us. They made sure to take everything from us. They sat back and played that trap style and they played a strong team game.
Team Russia featured a recent Kings draft pick, Maxim Kitsyn. Several of the other guys we've spoken with over the last week or so have talked about his speed. Any thoughts on what you saw?
I think he's a real good player. One of the big things is he's hard on the puck. He battles well and holds onto the puck real well too. He obviously had a good six games with the Russian team. Before our games I read up on his stats and I also watched one of the other games where he scored. So, I already knew he had been playing real well.
In game five one of your teammates was Jordan Weal (drafted by the Kings in June 2010). What did you think of his performance?
He's a good player and had been ever since he got to the Western Hockey League. He has a lot of skill and he's a fun player to play with when you get the chance. He's having another good year even though his team is having an up and down year there in Regina. But, he showed what a good player is by scoring a goal and then picking up another one in the shootout. He was in the (hotel) room next to me at Kings camp this summer and we hung out quite a bit. He's a good team guy, so it was nice to get to know him then. We actually hung out again this week at the Super Series too.
Just last weekend you guys were on opposite sides of the ice when Medicine Hat played his team, the Regina Pats. You went off for four points that night. So, do you try to elevate your game at all knowing you're playing a fellow Kings prospect or is that not really a factor for you?
I think whenever you're playing against the top players in the league you have a little extra desire to want to win. You want to compete against the best players. I just think that helps out going into the game. It helps you prepare. Weal was in the three in scoring last year and he had a real good year as a 17-year old. So, you know and you kinda watch out for those games. You want to play real well in them.
Back at Kings camp you also met quite a few other prospects who weren't from the WHL. Have you been keeping tabs on any of those guys this season?
I haven't really been following too many of them. I checked up on a few of the guys in Manchester though. I already knew Brandon Kozun and Martin Jones, having played against them quite a bit the last few years. So, I've kept an eye on them. Kozun is having a real good start there.
You're currently second on the Tigers in goals and first in assists and points. Did you set any personal goals for yourself coming into the season?
I think any time you come into a new season your goal is to always win a championship. The Tigers have a tradition and history where we've always had a good team. Since I've been there we've only made it to the second round (of the playoffs). Coming into this year we set a goal that we wanted to at least be in the league finals. We have a real good team. We haven't had the best start and maybe underachieved a bit. But, we're getting better each day and hope to be right there at the end of the season.
Along those lines, the Tigers are in the middle of the pack in the Central Division. What adjustments are needed to make a run at the division title this season?
We need to be more consistent. At times we've played real well and then the next game we'll go in and play real average. The top teams in the league all play consistent game in, game out. They never change their style. I find that our game is different in each game we play. We have to get back to Tigers hockey, which is that high tempo, aggressive style. When we play like that we'll end up with a lot of wins.
Is there any particular area of your game you're trying to work on this year?
I don't think you ever stop improving at any part of your game. This summer the Kings made sure I worked on my conditioning. It showed during the first part of the season and it's really benefiting me. Throughout the season I need to keep that up and maintain my conditioning so it can benefit me in the second half. I also want to remember to round out my game. Sometimes I get caught trying to create too much offense and not worry about my defensive zone. So, the coaches have really been getting after me to make sure I'm focused and working hard at both ends of the ice.
This summer you attended Team Canada's evaluation camp for the upcoming World Junior Championships. As we're less than two months away from the start of the tournament, are you thinking much about it or is it something you're still trying to keep in the back of your mind at this point?
It's tough. It's every Canadian kid's dream to play in the World Juniors. So, it's tough to keep it out of your mind. However, like I said before, I need to stay focused on what I'm trying to do with the Tigers. There's a lot of stuff to do still. But, at the same time, I have to stay focused. If it happens, it happens and it would be a great opportunity.
Vey and several other Kings prospects will find out in mid-December if they've been included on the final rosters for the World Juniors, which kick off in Buffalo, NY on December 26th.
Team Canada was already gunning for the U.S. after the Americans took the gold medal from them last year. After this week they probably have a score to settle with the Russians too.
One final note on Vey – a few years from now he may get to battle current teammate Emerson Etem (Anaheim Ducks 2010 first round pick) in a different Subway Series. Last season the foot-long sandwich specialists were brought on board as the tile sponsor of the Kings-Ducks Freeway Faceoff Series.

We haven't done a beer cocktail yet; I'd say it's nigh about time to feature one as our first. In our website logs, I saw that someone had been searching for something called an Irish Harp. After a little research, I found out exactly what this pub drink is. It fits in perfectly with St. Patrick's week, so read onward, as we break down the recipe and discuss the history of the Irish harp.
1 part Guinness stout
1 part Irish hard cider
This stout and cider shandy is about as easy as it gets. Combine equal parts of Guinness stout and Irish hard cider in a tall pub glass. Some people may layer the cider on top, but for practical purposes, just mix them together as we do. Drink up and enjoy!
This is an ideal beer cocktail for when you're trashed at the pub. Just order a pint of each, and you're in business. Making the Irish Harp takes about a minute, if you do the recommended long Guinness pour from the widget can or the tap. The Irish Harp combines the darkness of Guinness stout and the tartness of hard cider. The Irish Harp is also a variation of a Snakebite, which is simply any beer and cider cocktail. I'm down for celebrating St. Patrick's Day (or any day) with this beverage. The Irish Harp will go to your head quicker than you realize, so drink up, fella!
History and Meaning of the Irish Harp
The Irish harp was thought to have been brought to Europe from Egyptian trading routes, and is one of the oldest instruments in Western culture. Ireland and Scotland both have a heritage with the Celtic harp, popular for it's portability and versatility. These Celtic harps were strung with metal wire as opposed to other harps strung with gut strings. In Scotland, this style of harp is known as a clàrsach and in Ireland, an Irish harp. Celtic is the term most often used to describe these instruments, as Gaelic carries more of a Scottish connotation, even though that is a common root culture.
The lyre-like Irish harp was used by traveling minstrels and bards during the Middle Ages. The harp first appeared on Irish fourpence in the early 1500s. During the 1600s, when England began to creep into Ireland, the invading forces tried to suppress these musicians, as they feared the protest songs and rallying cries that would travel via the harp. Harpists actually feared for their lives, and Irish harps were confiscated and destroyed during these dark times. England eventually Anglo-cized the majority of Irish citizens, and the folk harps were not able to do a lot of the chromatic scales that were becoming popular in Baroque music of that time. The Irish harp culture might have been lost forever if not for a 1792 Belfast harping festival, where transcriber Edward Bunting was able to recover some of the old melodies before all the living Irish harpers faded into the void.
The Irish harp is featured on the "Green Flag&38221; that was used from 1642 during the Irish Confederate Wars. This particular flag was also used during the Rebellion of 1798. The Erin Go Braugh flag featuring the Irish harp was used by the United Irishmen in 1803. Variations of this flag were used by Irish Nationalists resistant to rule by the English Crown up until the tricolor flag of green, white, and orange was adopted in 1916. Although the history of Ireland and the United Kingdom is complicated at best, Yanks could best liken the green harp flag to the "Don't Tread On Me" flag, although that analogy is not exactly parallel. The harp remains a symbol of Irish nationalism to this day.

Here's a sneak peek of KITT talking with David during the Comedy Central Roast of David Hasselhoff. Yes, that is William Daniels' voice, although he pre-recorded his lines a few days earlier. Basically you're looking at a videocamera pointing at a TV so the video quality is not great, but hopefully it will give you a taste of what to look forward to when the full show airs on August15.
That looks good,shame we won't get it here in the UK!

If only they'd have KARR with Peter Cullen, that would be even funnier than KITT!
any word on who's kitt that was that was used for the roast and the commercials with David washing Kitt?
Whoever's that was they need a better kitt scanner.Its not right to fit him with a strobe futuristic scanner when everything else fits to the series.
That was my ole buddy Alex's car and I think it looks fantastic.
I only wish I could have been there too, but Ive had my 15 minutes of fame with my KITT in Kickin It Old Skool the movie( circa 2007) and my car had David Hasselhoff's cameo appearance after I drove it to the mark.

Cryoport needed an animation to speak to couples have questions or need assurance about the IVF process. After a couple rounds of styleframe revisions, they landed on having a centralized "stork" leading a container safely to it's destination.
Because the stork was going to be in mostly every scene, I rigged it up with a simple rig using Joysticks n' Sliders inside After Effects. This made for a much easier and faster animation process.

ShinyShiny round up: Twitter trials misinformation reporting
Twitter is introducing a new feature on a trial basis to test the ability for users to report misleading posts. The move follows a wave of criticism of social media companies for facilitating the spread of misinformation about the COVID-19 pandemic. Although Twitter currently allows users to report posts, the subsequent pop-up doesn't contain a field allowing users to report posts for misinformation. The company says the test feature will be available to some users in Australia, South Korea and the United States from this week. It will add an "It's misleading" option to the fields that appear when users attempt to report posts. Sky News
A woman accessed her ex-boyfriend's smart speaker from her home 100 miles away to tell his new girlfriend to leave, a court has heard. Phillipa Copleston-Warren accessed an Alexa app linked to devices, including cameras, lights and his Amazon Echo speaker at his home in Lincolnshire. She also admitted at Isleworth Crown Court posting a naked photo of her ex-boyfriend on Facebook. The 46-year-old from London will be sentenced on 6 October. The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said accessing her ex-partner's devices allowed her to see the victim's new girlfriend in the house she had previously stayed at. She used the app remotely to speak to her and tell her to get out. She then used it to turn the bedside table light on and off before posting the nude image on social media, captioned: "Do I look fat??? My daily question". BBC
Samsung says it will cut down on the ads it shows on its smartphones. The announcement was first reported by Korean news agency Yonhap and was later confirmed by Samsung in a statement to The Verge. The official line from the industry giant is "Samsung has made a decision to cease the advertisement on proprietary apps, including Samsung Weather, Samsung Pay, and Samsung Theme." The company added, "The update will be ready by later this year." Samsung ships Android on all its smartphones, but it changes the experience with a "One UI" skin and includes several Samsung-developed packed-in apps. Many of these apps—like Bixby, Samsung Health, and Weather—contain big banner ads, sometimes right at the top of the app, where you would normally expect to find an app logo or navigation information.

The Chinese government has made investments in two of the nation's most significant technology firms — ByteDance, the Chinese company that owns global video app TikTok, and Weibo, China's version of Twitter — in a move apparently intended to bolster its sway over the nation's flourishing technology sector. In April, ByteDance sold a 1% stake in its Chinese subsidiary, Beijing ByteDance Technology Co., to WangTouZhongWen (Beijing) Technology, a state-backed firm, according to public government records and the corporate information platform Qichacha. WangTouZhongWen is owned by three Chinese state entities, one of which is linked to a fund backed by the Cyberspace Administration of China, the nation's internet watchdog, according to government records and Qichacha data.

A security breach against T-Mobile has exposed personal information, including social security numbers (SSN) and pins in some cases, of more than 40 million users, the company said in a statement on Wednesday morning. The same data for about 7.8 million current T-Mobile post-paid customers appears to be compromised. No phone numbers, account numbers, pins, passwords or financial information from the nearly 50m records and accounts were compromised, it said. T-Mobile also confirmed that approximately 850,000 active T-Mobile prepaid customer names, phone numbers and account pins were exposed. The company said that it proactively reset all of the pins on those accounts. No Metro by T-Mobile, formerly Sprint prepaid, or Boost customers had their names or pins exposed. Guardian

Pardon My French
How a Grumpy American Fell in Love with France
By Allen Johnson
Published by Yucca
To make a friend is a joy. To make a friend in another country is a wonderment—a small miracle. Pardon My French follows an American author who has embraced a daunting mission: not to be a spectator in France but an enthusiastic participant—fully engaged, fully alive.
In France, Johnson is like an alien from another planet. Everything is strange to him. His goal is to speak French without going to prison, drive without being squashed like a bug, dance the tango without losing his marriage, and belt out a tune with a world-class jazz combo without being booed off the stage.
Repeatedly, the author fearlessly steps into harm's way. He joins a summer acting troop and witnesses the French version of sexual liberation. He pits his rather staid and conventional driving skills against the French speed demons of Languedoc. He tries to be cool in a painting class while sputtering nervously in front of the nude model with the long legs and silky voice.
And then, after it all—after the splendor of Christmas on the Mediterranean, the bicycle tours along the French canals, the mountain treks amply supplied with French bread, cheese, and wine—the miracle happens. The often self-deprecating and bungling American meets and falls in love with a beautiful mistress: La belle France. And when he does, an entire village adopts him into a new family—one with a gracious heart and a beautiful French accent.

"Yes. To become a world-class traveler, Johnson believes one must always say yes. He follows his own credo well in this entertaining and enlightening travel memoir. After a stint in France in 1971 to learn the language, Johnson and his wife return decades later for a one-year stay. Although hampered from the getgo in his efforts to find an apartment by the heavy-handed bureaucracy, and still struggling with the language despite much study, Johnson enthusiastically plunges into a variety of classes to learn more about France and, especially, the French. He is neither unreservedly rapturous nor unduly disheartened by the cultural divide, which includes a less-than-helpful attitude about customer service and a downright dangerous approach to driving. Instead, he goes beyond merely noting his experiences to exploring the causes of cultural traditions, primarily by quizzing his French friends. It is this openness and curiosity, along with the author's infectious humor, that makes Pardon My French both entertaining and enlightening." —Booklist
"Funny and insightful, Allen Johnson's love for the people of France shines through like a warm summer day on the Mediterranean." —Christian Valette, Mayor of Pérols, France, 1989-2014
"As a reader who loved A Year in Provence by Peter Mayle and Paris to the Moon by Adam Gopnik I was greatly pleased to find that Pardon my French is just as delightful and in the same tradition....Anyone who has traveled in France, or would like to someday, will find much to love about this book." —Claire Bellarmine, author of An Adjustment in Consciousness
"One warning: Have your passport up-to-date when you read Pardon My French—you may just want to take the next flight to Paris. Bon Voyage." —Judith Martin, Co-author of Experiencing Intercultural Communication
"What a wonderful book this is—like an Olympian swimmer, Allen Johnson plunges into the "France profonde" that most of us crave to experience. Here it is, in depth, both practical and poetic—all the paperwork to rent an apartment, what you need to know about joining a club and becoming a member of French society, how to participate wittily and appreciatively at 5-course meals, and most importantly, how to cultivate and maintain friendships. A magnificent and useful read." —Gene Parulis, Professor at Community College of Vermont

How to use GitHub with Android Studio
Selecting project
What to contribute
Cloning the repository
Making the change
Forking the repository
Committing and pushing the change
Creating the pull request
Matheus C.
Android Studio makes it easy to push changes to your favorite Open Source, professional, or personal projects on GitHub. In this tutorial, we'll learn how to use GitHub with Android Studio. We'll use an Open Source contribution for context.
Android developers use Open Source projects to speed up development or enable functionality that is otherwise impractical to build. Therefore it's essential to understand how to give back and improve the Open Source projects that we use.
A GitHub account
Android Studio installed
First of all, to which Open Source project should you contribute? You can contribute to any project, but, ideally, it's one that you know and use.
In this tutorial, I'll use a contribution to Stream Chat's library for Android as an example. It's a popular SDK to ship high-quality chat experiences on Android.
Sometimes, during the usage of an Open Source library, we encounter bugs that we wish were fixed and missing features that we want added. When that happens, it's tempting to request it to the maintainer(s) and hope for the best, or even search for another library. However, it's essential first to consider contributing with that bug fix or feature we want. It's often not as complicated as we may think.
Alternatively, we may want to contribute to the project in general and select a request that's made by the community. In this case, the best way to find an idea is to look through the issues list and select an issue that seems simple enough for a first contribution.
For this tutorial, I'll fix a bug that I encountered while testing the sample app. In this case, the sample app crashed when pressing an image inside the chat, instead of showing it in full screen.
With Android Studio, you don't need to use the terminal to contribute to an Android project on GitHub. It has native integration with git and GitHub to allow most actions via the Android Studio UI.
When you open Android Studio, it offers the option to open a project from version control. That's the option we'll use.
After selecting that option, you can type the URL of the repository, press "Clone", and select a folder. After that, Android Studio will do all the work and open the project ready to go.
Initially, the default branch will be selected, but often projects have a development branch that receives the changes before merging them to master. Let's create a branch for our change based on that development branch. That is a better practice than using the development branch directly, to not risk polluting it.
To do that, click where it says "Git: [default branch]", select the development branch, click "New Branch from Selected", and choose a name for your branch.
After that, we can proceed with making the change we want. After debugging the project, I've identified that initializing Facebook's Fresco library in the MessageListView class solves the issue.
Now that we fixed the issue, we're ready to commit it and send a Pull Request to the main GitHub repository. The next step will show how to fork the repository, in case you don't have permission to push a branch to the main repository, which is often the case if you're not a maintainer of that project.
If you're not a maintainer of that repository, you can't push your branch to it. You'll need to fork it first and push the branch to your fork. To do this, go to the GitHub repository and press fork.
You'll need the URL of your repository in the next step, as we'll push the branch to it.
Now, we can commit our change. To do this, either press CMD+K (or CTRL+K on Windows), or navigate to Commit via the menu.
Review your changes in the screen provided, write a descriptive commit message, press the arrow on the "Commit" button, and select "Commit and push". That will take you to the screen where you'll choose which repository the branch will be uploaded. If you're a maintainer of the origin remote, you can press "Push" and skip to "Creating the pull request".
If you're not a maintainer, you should press the "origin" label, which will allow you to define a new remote repository. After that, you still need to select the proper remote and press the "Push" button.
If you're not yet authenticated, Android Studio will ask for your GitHub credentials.
After you authenticate, Android Studio will send the changes to your remote repository.
Now, go to your repository page on GitHub, and you'll see a prompt to open a Pull Request with your newly pushed branch.
When you press that, it will take you to a Pull Request composer. Generally, it will already contain a template that you can follow to describe your PR and some instructions that you need to follow. Also, don't forget to check out the contribution guidelines of the project if it has one.
Usually, GitHub will pick the master branch as a base, so don't forget to switch it to the development branch, if it exists, as the image shows.
Congratulations! You just learned how to contribute to an Open Source project using GitHub and Android Studio, without having to touch the command-line interface. After you've sent your Pull Request, the project's maintainers will review it and ask for changes if needed, in which case you can follow the "Committing and pushing the change" step again.
At Stream, we have many Open Source Android projects in Kotlin and Java, and we're happy to receive and help you with your contributions.

Q: Codename one create a PIN constraint Am creating a form with some Text inputs where a user can update their PIN, so i need the inputs to be only numeric and also kind a password- masked.
I've tried this here but it only makes the input masked and accepts even characters,
TextComponent currentPIN = new TextComponent().labelAndHint("Current Pin").constraint(TextArea.NUMERIC).constraint(TextArea.PASSWORD);
        TextComponent newPIN = new TextComponent().labelAndHint("New PIN").constraint(TextArea.NUMERIC).constraint(TextArea.PASSWORD);
        TextComponent confirmPIN = new TextComponent().labelAndHint("Confirm PIN").constraint(TextArea.NUMERIC).constraint(TextArea.PASSWORD);

how can I achieve this, I want the input to accept only PIN, that's numeric and be masked.

A: You cannot chain calls to constraint() that way and have them add up.
From the Javadoc (my emphasis):

public void setConstraint(int constraint)

Sets the constraint which provides a hint to the virtual keyboard input, notice this doesn't limit input type in any way!
Parameters:
constraint - one of ANY, EMAILADDR, NUMERIC, PHONENUMBER, URL, DECIMAL it can be bitwised or'd with one of PASSWORD, UNEDITABLE, SENSITIVE, NON_PREDICTIVE, INITIAL_CAPS_SENTENCE, INITIAL_CAPS_WORD. E.g. ANY | PASSWORD.

The proper form is
...constraint(TextArea.NUMERIC | TextArea.PASSWORD)

Amnesty International Bengaluru Office Raided By Enforcement Directorate
Persecution Relief Correspondent October 26, 2018 No comments
All India NDTV News Desk
The Enforcement Directorate action against Amnesty international comes just two weeks after it conducted searches in the Bengaluru offices of another non-profit, global environmental NGO Greenpeace, and other establishments associated with it and froze accounts.
Updated : October 25, 2018 21:09 IST
The Enforcement Directorate raids on Amnesty International Bengaluru office have been on since 2 PM Today
New Delhi: The Bengaluru office of Amnesty International was raided by the Enforcement Directorate today – two years after the human rights organization came under the scanner of investigation agencies for possible violation of rules involving foreign funding. Over the last two years, the government has been cracking down on non-profits over the stringent law that regulates money received by non-profits from abroad.
In a statement, the Enforcement Directorate said the Amnesty International India resorted to bypass the FCRA Act after they were denied the permission from the home ministry. They set up a floating commercial entity in the name of Amnesty International India Pvt. Ltd, which has received Rs 36 crore in foreign funds.
In August 2016, the home ministry had ordered what it called a "preliminary exercise" to find out whether Amnesty had the necessary approvals.
The order came days after anti-India slogans were allegedly raised during a discussion on Kashmir that it hosted. A sedition case was also filed against Amnesty India following a complaint the ABVP, a student body affiliated to Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh or RSS, the ideological mentor of the BJP. Amnesty had denied both accusations.
The raids at office of the human rights organization – which began at 2 pm — comes two weeks after it conducted searches in the Bengaluru offices of another non-profit, global environmental NGO Greenpeace, and other establishments associated with it and froze accounts.
Investigators suspect the environmental organization is illegally receiving foreign funding, charges that have been denied by Greenpeace.
In August, investigators started looking into an issue related to the FCRA unit's suspicion that Amnesty International-UK and other some entities based in the UK have instilled funds into Amnesty's India through commercial channels, in violation of the Foreign Exchange Management Act or FEMA rules. The Hindu reported.
The amount involved is over Rs 36 crore and were received between May 2014 and August 2016, The Hindu reported.
Following is the full statement by the Enforcement Directorate on the raids at Amnesty International
After Amnesty International India Foundation Trust (AIIFT) was denied the permission/registration under FCRA, 2010 by MHA, they resorted to bypass the FCRA Act by floating commercial entity in the name of Amnesty International India Pvt. Ltd (AIIPL). This entity has received foreign funds through commercial route to the extent of Rs 36 crore till date. Out of the total amount of Rs 36 crore, Rs 10 crore was received as long term loans. This amount was immediately placed in FDs and another Indian entity, Indians for Amnesty International Trust (IAIT) had established an overdraft facility for Rs. 14.25 crore keeping the said Rs 10 crore FD as collateral which means the receipt of FDI by trust only. The remaining Rs 26 crore was received in two other bank accounts of AIIPL as "consultancy services". The inwards remittances received by the AIIPL from overseas is in violation of FDI guidelines. In this background, searches are conducted at their Bengaluru office today and further investigation is in progress.

The irreversible ErbB family blocker afatinib and the reversible EGFR TKIs gefitinib and erlotinib have been approved as first-line therapies for treatment of NSCLC patients with EGFR-sensitising mutations. However, resistance frequently develops, which indicates the need for new agents. The EGFR T790M mutation has been identified as the most common resistance mutation. The oral, irreversible, third-generation EGFR TKI osimertinib is active in both sensitising and EGFR T790M resistance mutations. This treatment was evaluated in AURA3, the first randomised phase III trial to compare a T790M-selective EGFR TKI with platinum-based doublet chemotherapy in patients with T790M-positive advanced NSCLC progressing on first-line EGFR TKI therapy . Osimertinib was administered at 80 mg once daily (OD) in the experimental arm (n = 279), while patients in the control arm received pemetrexed plus carboplatin or cisplatin, followed by optional pemetrexed maintenance (n = 140). Stable asymptomatic central nervous system (CNS) metastases were allowed.

Q: 5v dc drops to 2v when applied to L293d I have a 5v dc supply generated from voltage divider and this 5v is used to drive L293d.
But the problem is as soon as 5v supply is given to L293d the voltage drops to less than 2v.
what could be the problem??

A: The L293D has separate supplies for logic (pin 16) and H-bridge (pin 8). Use a 7805 to power the logic, and power the H-bridge straight from your power source. If you power the H-bridge from the 7805, then the 7805 will overheat and go into shutdown.


Be sure to take the time to recognize and celebrate your accomplishments. Make a big deal out of reaching the smallest goal that you have set for yourself. You deserve to be rewarded for the hard work and sacrifices that you have made to reach these goals. Make it a candy bar or a bowl of ice cream, whatever you find to be your favorite treat.
Realize your personal strengths and play on them each day. Your personal strengths have a great deal to with personal development, helping you to go forth from day to day with the ability to deal with the stress and challenges that arise. However, only when you realize these strengths can you really play upon them and use them to your advantage.
If you suffer from anxiety or nervousness and want to try to calm yourself, make sure you are getting enough protein. Most foods that have protein in them can help calm your nerves and set you at ease. Try foods like salmon, white fish, and turkey because they are good choices.


Protective behavior in dogs is not a bad thing.
Many owners come to dog forums and ask how they can train their dog to be less protective, but that shouldn't ever be an issue.
A protective dog is doing what comes naturally to help – surveying his surroundings and determining if things are on the up and up.
Most of the time, owners that want to reduce protective behavior in their dogs are actually asking about how to reduce aggressive behavior.
There is a difference, and that's the topic we'll be exploring today.
Read on for signs your dog is protective of you and isn't just being an aggressive dog.
A protective nature isn't something that needs to be trained out of a dog. In fact, they're doing their job as a member of the pack.
Dogs are pack animals (according to the most popular theory), and part of a pack animal's duty is to ensure that the rest of the pack is safe.
Even if you don't believe dogs are pack animals (latest research suggests that they may not be, with "suggests" being the key term there), you can't deny that they have strong instincts.
Many dogs have a strong protective drive ingrained into their instinctive core, and that's okay.
The problem most people have is having a dog that is aggressive.
It's important to understand the difference.
If you've ever seen a German Shepherd in action, you've seen the classic protective dog.
His head is on a swivel. He's constantly scanning the area. He may perk up his ears when a new person or animal comes into view.
He might even calmly move between his owner and the newcomer to the environment. He is calm and considerate, but he is always on alert.
If no threat is perceived, the dog will go back to doing whatever he was involved with before he saw the new stimuli.
If a threat is perceived, however, he may growl or bark – doing just enough to warn away whatever he feels is threatening the pack. This is what a protective dog does.
There really is no cause of this behavior. Protectiveness is hard-wired into a dog's DNA. Dogs are descended from wolves, which are pack animals.
Wolves work together to bring down game, raise their pups, and keep each other safe. It's in their best interest to look out for one another.
That's the behavior we see in protective dogs. It's their natural tendency to want to keep the pack safe.
Aggressive behavior is a far different thing than protective behavior, and it is not a welcome trait in any dog.
Whereas protective dogs evaluate situations, determining if there is any threat to be seen, aggressive dogs see everything as a threat.
They have no monitoring behavior, rather, they immediately go into an aggressive mode which can sometimes result in physical violence.
It's important to recognize the signs of aggressive behavior.
Unlike protective behavior, aggressive behavior is caused almost always caused by outside stimuli, be it abuse or an attack from another animal.
Although some dogs are born naturally more aggressive than other, aggressive behavior is usually learned in some way, and it can lead to very real problems for both dog and owner.
This type of behavior is far more complex than protective behavior in that the reasons are broad as are the outlets from which dogs allow it to come out.
Protective behavior is rarely an issue but aggressive behavior is always a cause for concern and should be addressed as quickly as possible.
While this type of behavior can be scary for both owner and those around him or her, the good news is that it can be eliminated, or at least reduced.
In instances where aggressive behavior cannot be completely quelled, taking preventative measures usually serves to bridge the gap.
One of the keys to curbing aggression is to curb your own reactions. Many owners will over-correct their dog, yanking on his leash or yelling at him to stop.
This only serves to further rile up your pooch. Instead, approach every instance of aggression in a calm, soothing way.
Don't yell or yank or do anything to further increase the volatility of the situation.
Rather, calmly remove your dog from the situation in a manner that soothes, or at least doesn't contribute to, the current situation.
Desensitization to offending stimuli is an excellent way to begin the process of curbing aggressive behavior.
For example, if your dog becomes immediately aggressive when other people enter the room, begin to show him that new people can be a good thing.
Find your dog's favorite food, and give tiny bits of it to a friend.
Have the friend calmly enter the room and immediately begin throwing the treats towards your dog, then have the friend leave.
Repeat this process until your dog's reaction is one of looking for treats rather than an aggressive stance.
Over time, your dog will learn to associate people entering the room with something positive rather than negative.
Socialization and desensitization go hand in hand. In fact, socialization is really just desensitization to new people and animals when you think about it.
Begin by taking your dog on walks more frequently at times when you know others will be about.
Keep a firm leash and a calming tone.
The second your dog sees another person or animal give him a treat.
Do this immediately before he has the chance to bark or lunge.
Repeat this with every person or animal he sees.
If he becomes aggressive, quickly and calmly move on. However, every time he doesn't bark praise him liberally and give him treats.
Over time, your dog will learn that it is far more pleasant and rewarding to remain calm and receive treats.
Once your dog has learned to associate good behavior with treats, move to take him to places with even more people an animals.
Pet-friendly stores and dog parks are a good place to start. Stay at the periphery, continuing to praise him and give him treats when he shows no aggressive signs.
Over time, you can gradually work your way further in to the action, continuing with praise and treats, furthering his socialization.
Protective behavior isn't' a bad thing. In fact, it's a plus. However, it's important to realize the difference between protective behavior and aggressive behavior.
Protective behavior is calm surveying of a situation and an appropriate reaction.
Aggressive behavior is an immediate violent response to a stimulus.
Never mistake one for the other, as aggressive behavior can lead to attacks either from or towards your dog, bites, and in severe cases, euthanasia of your dog.
Follow these guidelines for recognizing the difference between protective behavior and aggressive behavior, and if needed, employ the strategies above to help curb any aggressive behavior.
Remember, the above strategies are just a few examples. It is best to seek a professional trainer to help you curb your dog's aggressive behavior for the best outcome.

Today many have come to find in the Rule of St Benedict an inspiring guide for spiritual development. In this they share the vision of countless monks and nuns who have, for centuries, found in the Rule a timeless wisdom on which to base their daily lives. Michael Casey invites us to join with him in reflecting on St Benedict's teaching on humility (Chapter Seven of the Rule). Readable and fresh, primarily pastoral in its approach, this book presents not popular psychology, but full engagement with the hardest sayings of a great spiritual master. Here is a book for anyone who hungers for the truth that sets a person free. Michael Casey is a monk of Tarrawarra Abbey in Victoria, Australia. He is well known as a retreat master and lecturer on monastic spirituality.

Genting Bet payment options are within industry standards. Even though there aren't many payment options available on their website, the main payment methods are there: credit and debit cards, Skrill, as well as going through the cash desk at Genting Casinos in the UK.
Credit and Debit cards include Master Card and VISA. Depositing with credit and debit cards is free, and you won't have to wait since the processing time is instant. You can deposit a minimum of £10.
When it comes to withdrawing, it is also free, but you will have to wait for several days to get your winnings to your wallet. That's because many security checks have to be completed and it takes around three or four business days for UK customers for funds to reach your card. For the customers outside the UK, the waiting time is five to seven business days. Minimum withdrawal is same as the deposit, £10.
Skrill is a standard deposit and withdraw option for bettors all around the world. Depositing with Skrill is free and instant, just like with credit and debit cards. However, unlike credit and debit cards, you will have different limits with Skrill. The minimum deposit is £50, while the maximum deposit is £50000. When it comes to withdrawing with Skrill, it is free, and it is much faster that withdrawing with credit and debit cards – it takes only one day, both in and out of UK. You can withdraw a minimum of £50, and a maximum of £50000, same as the deposit. Also, you have to know that Genting Bet requires that all withdrawal requests go via Skrill if you used it as your method of deposit.
If you are a United Kingdom resident, you have a deposit and withdrawal option through the cash desk at Genting Casinos all over the UK. This is exclusive to UK casino members, and bettors who are not UK residents don't have this option.
To make a deposit, you must go to one of the casinos and request a deposit. You will have to confirm your identity with a personal document such as passport or driving license and give your username to the staff member. You must have a GDP account and you have to provide a UK residential address.
Depositing is free, and the processing time is, obviously, instant. The minimum amount you can deposit is £50, while there are no restrictions when it comes to maximum deposit amount.
You can also withdraw the money at the cash desk, but you have to make a withdrawal request through the UK casinos section in My Account. You will again have to show one of the personal documents with a picture you have, and you will have to wait for security checks to be completed. However, you shouldn't wait more than a couple of minutes, so this is the fastest way to withdraw your money from Genting Bet.
Withdrawal is, of course, free, while the minimum amount you can withdraw is £50.
Genting Bet customer service is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Apart from e-mail support, Genting Bet has a live help option (in case you are a UK resident), and you can call them on a phone as well.
We recommend e-mail as the most suitable way to contact Genting Bet. If your question relates to your account at Genting Bet, you should include your name and username, to allow the staff to find your details and answer your query faster.
You can contact Genting Bet at support@gentingcasino.com.
When it comes to telephone support, Genting Bet offers something unique. You can request a callback and the staff will call you, so you don't have to pay for the call.
Genting Bet is one of the top betting and gambling providers in the UK. Even before they created their first online casino, they made a big name for themselves in the land-based business and used that reputation to become one of the best online betting providers. Genting Bet has high limits and encourages big spenders to register, unlike many of their competitors.
The lack of betting and gaming options might be a problem for some customers, but the most popular games, sports and leagues are available with high betting limits, so we think that should compensate for the absence of some smaller football leagues or less popular sports.
Genting Bet promo code listed in this article will help you get the most out of this betting provider.

Kuwait Airways, the country's National Carrier, is set to receive next month between five to six Airbus A320 aircrafts as part of the airline's plan to provide quality services to its clientele. Kuwait Airways will own a total of 28 Airbus A320 by next year, its Chairman Youssef Al-Jassim said as he toured Istanbul's new airport, where he held talks with officials from IGA; the consortium building and operating the sprawling facility.
During his visit to Istanbul, he said it was a step towards stronger aviation ties between Kuwait and Turkey, ahead of a planned "partnership deal" Kuwait's flag carrier seeks to clinch with IGA.
The agreement primarily entails airport services, the official divulged, describing Turkey as a hotspot that has long beguiled Kuwaiti travelers, a fact he attributed to the commonalities both nations share. The Kuwaiti official's visit is crucial to push aviation ties, according to IGA's Chairman Murat Sumutcu, who pointed out that it was in the best interest of both countries. He added that the Kuwaiti delegation got a firsthand look at the cutting-edge technology employed by the new mega airport, which has already begun serving 16 million people.
Kuwait's Consul General in Istanbul Mohammad Al-Mohammad emphasized the importance of closer aviation ties as well, given the fact that the number of Kuwaitis to have visited Turkey has increased exponentially. Kuwait's national carrier is offering daily flights to Turkey all summer long as part of a newly revamped itinerary.
