Awesome! Did she swim at all?
She looks like she loves to explore!
I've owned 5 chihuahuas over the years and I couldn't train a single one of them to fetch. I figured it was impossible. Clearly not! Well done!
OMG my chi has that exact same toy on the floor and protects it like his life depends on it. We call it his little monkey bear and you can sense his panic if its not in his sight.
How old was your chi when they started losing their puppy teeth?
Thank you for "Olive" your love! LOL.
OMG SO CUTE how old is your pup??
This is a couple months old, she's about 6 months now! This video was taken when she was probably 2.5ish months. Thank you!!
Leonard is a good boy! Mine is just about 6 months too and I started trying from the very beginning but she refuses no matter what I try.
What is there to do on a Thursday night in Palm Springs for me and my boyfriend? Any cool little bars?
And we checked out Village Pub, Moxie, Shamrock, and a bunch of others.
We headed down to Village Fest which just ended so I'll let you know where we end up! It's awesome down here I had no idea this was happening.

Examining board games and everything from a really, really broad perspective.
Tag: Pocket Ops
A preview of Pocket Ops
Whenever I hear a game is inspired by a classic game, I'm always intrigued. King of Tokyo puts a new spin on Yahtzee. Letter Tycoon is like Scrabble with cards. So many games manage to offer up a fresh take on a classic idea.
So when I heard that Pocket Ops was inspired by tic-tac-toe, I was immediately interested.
No, actually, I was like, "Is this a joke? Tic-tac-toe barely even qualifies as a 'game.' What's next? Fill in the blank? Connect the dots? There could be a whole Highlights Magazine collection."
Even after reading the publisher's description of Pocket Ops from Marc at Grand Gamers Guild—which essentially said, "Yes, this is based on tic-tic-toe. Yes, I know, that sounds crazy. Everyone makes that face that you're making. But it's actually really good."—I still didn't believe it.
Then I actually played Pocket Ops.
In Pocket Ops, you're a spymaster sending spies to infiltrate a facility. Like tic-tac-toe, it's a two player game with a three-by-three grid and your goal is to get three of your spies in a row. However, unlike tic-tac-toe, each turn, before you place a piece, your opponent uses a deck of cards to guess where you're going to place. If they predict correctly, your placement is rejected: you can't ever go where your opponent thinks you're going to go.
This whole new layer of second-guessing transforms Pocket Ops from the trivially tractable tic-tac-toe into an entertaining, and even slightly sweat-inducing, experience.
Prototype components for Pocket Ops.
On top of that, Pocket Ops includes several types of special pieces that allow you to take an action after you place them ("assassins" that remove an opponent's piece, "pushers" that push adjacent pieces, etc.). All of the specialists feel equally useful and interesting. Each round, you get a random one, so there's plenty of variety and you never know exactly what to expect from your opponent.
Prototype specialists for Pocket Ops. Some of these are stretch goals for the Kickstarter, and will likely look much nicer in the published version.
This game is legit.
The first play of the game, you're thinking, "It's basically a one-in-nine shot in the dark to guess the other person's move. And yet, most people go for the center square in tic-tac-toe… are they going to go for the center square here… or do they think that I think they're going to go for the center square…"
As you get more and more pieces onto the board, it gets more and more interesting. You've got to wonder about things like whether the other player is going to go in the same space where you just blocked them last turn. Are they going to go for the immediate win, or are they not going to go for the win because they know I'll probably block them? Also they haven't used a special piece this round, maybe they'll try to remove my piece…
As there are fewer and fewer open spaces on the board, it becomes clearer where you need to place, so the amount of second guessing keeps going up.
Plus, you're almost never out of the game. Even if you've totally failed and the other player has three spots where they could win, you can still come out on top if you can successfully anticipate their next move.
There's nothing more gratifying than when you watch your opponent decide what to do and put their piece on the board, and then you flip over your card and show you knew where they were going before they did.
Even if you lose, Pocket Ops is always best two out of three. The first win gets you a power crystal, and a second win means you get to power up the Doomsday Device (although, even though it's called a "Doomsday Device," by putting it together you are actually saving the world, not blowing it up). If you want to get cynical, the Doomsday Device is an unnecessarily elaborate score tracker, and yet… it's just fun. There's something tremendously satisfying about putting that crystal onto that empty, crystal-shaped space for the win.
Feel free to make celebratory noises that sound like a device powering up. Or not.
At this point in time, Grand Gamers Guild is a relatively new publisher. However, judging by their previous campaign for Unreal Estate, it's clear that they care deeply about making solid games with excellent art and graphic design, and about keeping backers in the loop with frequent updates (and a surprising amount of puzzles).
Honestly, I doubt I will ever be able to look at tic-tac-toe again without thinking about how Pocket Ops is better. This is tic-tac-toe 2.0. This is tic-tac-toe fixed. This is tic-tac-toe transformed into a pocket-sized, take-anywhere, play-with-anyone board game where there's actually something intriguing and fun going on.
Pocket Ops is on Kickstarter through June 26.

Jimmy McIntosh: the 1994 pipes|drums Interview from the Archives – Part 1
The piping and drumming world was saddened by the passing in South Carolina of James McIntosh on February 8th in his ninety-sixth year. Known as Jimmy to all who knew him, his inexhaustible commitment to passing along his knowledge of piobaireachd for the latter 50 years of his life is the stuff of legend, rivalling that of his own main teachers, Bob Nicol, Bob Brown and Donald MacLeod.
And the mark he made on piping in the United States is truly unsurpassed. To be sure, there was good piping in the US before he immigrated to America in 1982, with teachers like George Bell, Robert Gilchrist and Roddy MacDonald passing along their knowledge to accomplished pipers such as Jimmy Bell, Peter Kent, Ed Krintz, Albert McMullin, Burt Mitchell, Robert Mitchell, Jim Stack and others.
Michael Cusack of Houston at the time was a polished player under the tutelage of Scotland's great John MacFadyen, and of course, Donald Lindsay of New York had spent his own time studying piobaireachd with the Bobs of Balmoral.
Jimmy McIntosh during our May 1994 interview at his home near Pittsburgh.
Less known is that McIntosh was an accomplished pipe bandsman before he discovered piobaireachd. He was the pipe-major of two Grade 2 bands, including the now long-defunct NCR Pipe Band, which he took to the brink of Grade 1, regularly beating top-grade bands at smaller contests.
It was piobaireachd, though, that consumed his life. He was a true evangelist of the ceol mor religion and seemed to be on a mission to convert United States piping to his righteous belief in the music.
We remember making the five-hour drive to Pittsburgh over a weekend in May 1994. He was well settled in the area after establishing the breakthrough piping degree program at Carnegie Mellon University, which continued after he retired under the late Alasdair Gillies and, currently, with Andrew Carlisle.
We were made most welcome by Jimmy and his wife Joyce, an accomplished piper herself. Never one to leave much to chance, he had prepared full written answers to framework questions we had provided in advance, one of very few pipes|drums Interview subjects to take such a cautious tack. Normally, prepared answers don't work well, and he abandoned his notes after a few minutes.
As with all of them, the May 1994 McIntosh interview is a fascinating snapshot in piping history. At the time, he was in the middle of serving as president of the Eastern United States Pipe Band Association, where he had worked to create considerable – and not a little controversial – change. The EUSPBA was in a fractious relationship with the Pipers & Pipe Band Society of Ontario, at odds over issues of reciprocal standards of grading and judging, McIntosh's association resolutely wanting to depend less on imported Canadian judges and more on American talent.
The newly formed Association of Piping Adjudicators, which would fizzle a few years later, had been lobbying big solo competitions in the UK to adhere to their policies and requirements. Many top-tier competing pipers had protested the situation in "The Boycott Year" of 1993 by sitting out the Argyllshire Gathering and Northern Meeting. There was a lot going on in the solo piping world, and McIntosh was a strong voice in much of it.
We will run the interview in four parts and include the original introduction to preface Part 1.
Jimmy McIntosh: the pipes|drums Interview from the Archives – Part 1
Jimmy McIntosh can be compared to the bagpipe itself: he is either liked immensely or greatly misunderstood.
The one thing that can't be understood about McIntosh is his relentless· passion for the instrument. For one who was literally forced into playing the pipes by his father, he has made the bagpipe his vocation, his obsession, and his mission.
Piping for Jimmy McIntosh is not his pastime; it is his life.
James McIntosh was born in Broughty Ferry, a small village outside of Dundee, Scotland, in 1925. His father recognized the importance of music, and while his brothers were given the church organ and violin to learn, young Jimmy was marched off to learn the pipes at the age of eight.
His father in 1939 decided Jimmy would serve his country and enlisted him (unknown to his mother) as a band boy with the Cameron Highlanders – a move, as it turned out, that would introduce him to piping on a grand scale. In the ranks of his band were, among other greats, John MacLellan, Donald Macleod, and Mickey 16 Mac Kay. He was to stay in the army for ten years.
Upon his departure from the Camerons, Jimmy was absorbed into the pipe band scene in the Dundee area, as a piper with the MacKenzie Pipe Band. Shortly thereafter, he became pipe major of the City of Dundee, a successful Grade 2 band and, in 1957, he was asked to lead a new band sponsored by the emerging American technology company, NCR. Just as the NCR Pipe Band was at the brink of moving to Grade 1, Jimmy decided to pursue other piping interests.
In the mid-1960s, McIntosh rediscovered piobaireachd. He had the good fortune to be accepted as a pupil of Robert Brown of Balmoral, and for the next several years, enjoyed intense tuition from this piobaireachd master. It was during his weekly visits to Balmoral, under the wings of Brown and Bob Nicol, that McIntosh engrossed himself in ceol mor, and moulded himself into a master of piobaireachd himself.
In 1971 McIntosh won the Gold Medal at Inverness, and he went on to win most major prizes available, including the Portree Gold Medal in 1975 and Portree Clasp in 1976, and the Gold Medal at Oban in 1978. After taking ill at a Grant's competition, McIntosh decided to retire from competition – a decision he would ultimately regret.
In the tradition of John MacDonald of Inverness, Donald MacLeod, and the Bobs of Balmoral, Jimmy McIntosh turned his devotion to teaching. Seumas MacNeill had introduced him to North America by bringing him as an instructor in the late 1970s to the Timmins schools in Northern Ontario, and soon McIntosh was taking part in and organizing his own "Balmoral" summer schools in the eastern United States. His popularity as a teacher spread throughout the country, to the point when, in 1982, he decided to immigrate to the United States.
McIntosh soon became president of the Eastern United States Pipe Band Association (EUSPBA). McIntosh quickly made his presence felt: he was criticized both positively and negatively for increasing the piobaireachd submission requirements for amateur and professional piping, making it more stringent than anywhere in the world; he developed examinations for judging; he presided over a transition from the old, established guard of the EUSPBA to an executive that promised to improve standards and raise the profile of the organization. Many in the piping world, if they know about the EUSPBA at all, are still waiting for that organization to emerge as something more significant.
Currently, he is Professor of Music at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. He teaches a four-year undergraduate course in Highland piping, the only such degree offered in the world.
In June of this year, he was awarded the Member of the British Empire medal for services to piping, and in October, he will travel to Buckingham Palace for the presentation ceremony. He lives in a comfortable home in a quiet suburb of Pittsburgh with his wife Joyce, also an accomplished piper. In May of this year, the editor of pipes|drums met Jimmy McIntosh for this revealing, candid interview.
pipes|drums: How is your health these days?
Jimmy McIntosh: Excellent. My doctor says that he hopes when he's my age that he's in the same shape that I'm in. I think age is a state of mind, and if you keep your mind active, then you're young.
p|d: Weren't you taken ill at one of the Grant's competitions – 1976, I think it might have been?
JM: I don't know what went wrong with that, whether it had been hunger or something like that, but it had been in the evening in the light music event, and I just felt light-headed when I was competing, and I stopped, but I've never been affected like that again. That prompted my decision to retire, and I regretted that decision afterwards.
Jimmy McIntosh, 1973.
p|d: In retrospect, you think you should have kept competing afterwards?
JM: Yes.
p|d: But didn't you later return to competing a few times in the United States?
JM: I played three times in the United States in Friday evening piobaireachd competitions, and I played reasonably well. I had observed Open players in our association being very deficient in their preparation on the platform before the competition and also the quality of their instruments. My reason for competing on those occasions was to try to teach players from my performance those two aspects. I still think that that's where we're mostly deficient in our association, with the Open players. You can really start to win a competition before you even start playing your tune, and the bagpipe is 60 percent of the performance. I feel that they don't hear enough good bagpipes here in competition. When I think back to Scotland and the indoor competitions at the Uist & Barra, the Edinburgh Police, Eagle Pipers, there would be 30 to 40 really good players playing, and you could sit there and listen to really wonderful bagpipes, and your ear was being trained to the good sound, something to aim for.
p|d: What's the worst thing about piping today?
JM: In piping worldwide?
p|d: Sure.
JM: I think it varies worldwide. I would say that the different standards of bagpipe and professional bagpipe playing is a problem, and the lack of tuition is another. When I think of Scotland and the eastern United States, people seem to get to a certain level and think they no longer need tuition. At present in Scotland, very few of the competing players have teachers, and that's a bad thing because you're always learning. During a performance, the easiest person to deceive is yourself when you're playing. You might think you're playing well, and you go to play for someone else, and they pick you to pieces. If a person wants to be good, they have to study.
p|d: It's reasonable to say that you have had one of the most well-rounded piping careers – piobaireachd, pipe bands, light music, reedmaking, teaching, politics. What's still missing from the resume of Jimmy McIntosh?
JM: Something I still feel I would like to do is research. There's a whole lot of research that still has to be done on bagpipe material for different reasons.
p|d: Are you talking about research in piobaireachd?
JM: Not so much on just piobaireachd, but on the instrument itself, on tone, and the historical aspects of piping. There is a lot to be done on that that I'm involved in at the moment.
p|d: Are you doing that through Carnegie Mellon University?
The cover of Binneas is Boreraig Volume 3, compiled by Roderick Ross.
JM: Yes, in one of the piping courses I'm teaching, it's very difficult to get reference books, in complete contrast to other musicians in the school who can go to the library and pick up books on just about any composer, or about Baroque music or just about anything you want to talk about, but there is nothing for bagpipes. For the last year, I've wanted to compile a reference book on 20th century piping, and make part of it about piobaireachds and the interpretation of piobaireachd, and to try to evolve a more accurate way of writing piobaireachd that could be played as it is written. We write piobaireachd today in a way in which we never really play it.
p|d: You're a proponent of the work that Dr. Ross did with the Binneas is Boreraig works. Are you thinking of looking at piobaireachd in that sort of light?
JM: Yes, but going a lot further than that. There are many things that are used in other types of music that are beneficial to the reading of music, and we don't use any of them in piping.
p|d: Such as?
JM: Such as cadences. We never talk about cadences in bagpipe music and in piobaireachd in particular. Cadences are just things on paper to us, whereas cadences are all relevant things in music, and they are important in piobaireachd if they are used properly because they can help in the interpretation of the music.
Such as the way we write our music. If you take the singling and doubling of a dithis variation in piobaireachd, we write the notes with the same values, but then we don't play them as written, and we immediately tell the student not to play them as written. So why do we write them the same way? I'm trying to write the music as we play it. Why not double-dot the note in the singling and remove it in the doubling?
p|d: When can we expect to see some of the works you're putting together?
JM: It's difficult to say, but now that school has finished, I'm working on it again. I'm attempting to write about 30 piobaireachds out like that, and also to try to write out some of the tunes as Bob Brown played them, as well as how Bob Reid played some of the music. I'm writing to people to ask them permission to use stuff that has already been done.
p|d: How do you feel about teachers judging their pupils?
JM: That's a touchy one. I know that Bob Brown didn't like it. In fact, he was harder on his pupils than on others when he was judging because I remember him telling me that when that other person hasn't had the benefit of his teaching, he wouldn't expect as much from them. He would give them far more credit for having done something and maybe not having had a good level of teaching. I experienced that at Oban because I might have won the Gold Medal at Oban earlier if Bob Brown hadn't been on the bench. That was the one time he was on the bench at Oban. Bob told me afterwards that in "Beloved Scotland" I didn't have that first bar, and I recall Hector MacFadyen telling me the next day he had seen Bob Brown in a hotel the night before and he told Bob that he should have had the courage to give me first prize, even though he was my teacher. Finlay MacNeil won it that year with "John Garve."
I'm not terribly keen on judging my pupils either because it can be a very awkward position. Even though you might feel that your integrity is good, from the competitors' point of view, it is better that you don't. If the competitor is somebody who has studied with you and they win, then it can detract from their prize, and that's not right.
p|d: What about husbands judging their wives and vice versa?
JM: No, no, no. That's a no-win situation, not only with wives and husbands, but with brothers or sisters or immediate family. There should be a hard and fast rule on that.
p|d: And what about businesspeople assessing their products in competition?
JM: It shouldn't be done.
p|d: But this is coming from somebody who has been a reed maker for a long time and who helped develop the Naill chanter. You're saying it shouldn't happen, but I'm sure many people reading this are wondering why you did it yourself.
JM: When I was in business, I was representing Naill, but after I stopped with Naill, the ads that I had in the business when I was on my own never had any of that stuff in it.
p|d: What about chanter makers judging pipe bands?
JM: It's terribly wrong to assume that every person who is involved like that is dishonest because I don't think they are.
p|d: Nobody's saying that.
JM: There are one or two people who are involved in business who are mercenary, and they look for any opportunity to promote their products. I think there are a lot of politics involved in the business.
p|d: We remember you saying in 1981 that successful competitive piping will go the way of successful competitive golf: to the United States. At the time, that statement seemed plausible, but now there has been a piping renaissance – and a golf one, too, for that matter – that has seen its resurgence in Scotland and continued development in Canada, while the U.S. still can't maintain a Grade 1 band or another Gold Medallist since Mike Cusack's success in the mid-'80s. What's preventing the eastern United States from becoming the piping Mecca you once thought it would become?
JM: I wish I knew the answer to this. Perhaps the Gold Medals have lost their appeal; perhaps it's not as important to pipers now to win it. I really don't think that some of them have the determination that I had to win. They aren't prepared to make a strong enough commitment. I see some good things in our competitions on the Friday evening. I think the fact that we give Open players a good environment to play in has altered their attitude, by making them become more professional in their approach. You have to be very single-minded about it and decide that that's what you're going to do and do it.
p|d: You started competing seriously after you turned 40. How much does maturity – as a person and as a player – have to do with good piobaireachd playing?
JM: I think that maturity can make piobaireachd playing much better and more musical because of your understanding of the music. I was playing piobaireachd when I was 15, but I didn't understand it. In fact, I studied with Donald MacLeod, when he was my pipe-major when he was going twice a week to John MacDonald. Willie Ross had been my teacher in 1938, and again in 1943, and I had 16 piobaireachds from him in the period that I was with him. But I never really understood piobaireachd until I went to Bob Brown when I was in my forties.
A person has to really feel the music; that's the difference between what I call natural players and manufactured players.
p|d: Is someone born with the tools to be a great piobaireachd player, or can someone learn how to be a great piobaireachd player?
JM: You are probably born with a natural feeling for things in music. Some people don't need to be taught things, whereas others you have to work and work with them. Some people don't have to practise a whole lot and other people have to practise every night. That would bore me to death playing the same six tunes over every night, but I have had students who did that. If you talk to Donald MacPherson, he hardly ever practices.
p|d: Are there better piobaireachd players now than ever before?
JM: No, because of the lack of teaching and listening to piobaireachd. At the end of my competing career, there was a generation of new piobaireachd players missing and Nicol, although I got some of the same in Scotland. lain MacFadyen, John MacDougall, John Burgess, and myself though I'm older than those people) all retired in the 1980s, leaving a generation gap never got from anybody else until you get to the 30-year-old people.
Today, there are very few top competitors in their forties. I listened to the Glenfiddich competition last year, and the quality of the bagpipes was excellent, but there was a lot of what I would consider amateurish playing, a lack of musical understanding. Light and dark shading is missing. The playing is probably technically as good, if not better, but I think that musically it's not as good.
Stay tuned for Jimmy McIntosh: the pipes|drums Interview from the Archives – Part 2 in the next while.
Pipers: Every time you play, even in practice, use a fresh canister, if you play with the canister system.

Las abandonadas és una pel·lícula mexicana de 1945 dirigida per Emilio Fernández i protagonitzada per Dolores del Río i Pedro Armendáriz. Forma part de l'anomenat moviment indigenista de l'anomenada Època d'Or del cinema mexicà.

Sinopsi
Al Mèxic de 1914, Margarita (Dolores del Río) és una dona de poble que és seduïda i abandonada per Julio (Víctor Junco). En ser deshonrada és tirada de la seva casa familiar pel seu pare i malviurà a Mèxic on té al seu fill i cau en la prostitució. Conforme el nen va creixent ella va afermant-se en la seva professió fins a arribar a comptar amb clients de diners que la coneixen com Margot. Un bon dia arriba el General Juan Gómez (Pedro Armendáriz) a la casa on treballa Margot i en conèixer-la s'enamora d'ella de manera fulminant i aquesta mateixa nit se l'emporta a viure amb ell. Juan tracta a la seva amant com una reina, li compra una casa enorme i l'omple de luxes, però la manté vigilada, fins que un bon dia li retira l'escorta per descobrir amb qui es carteja perquè sospita que l'enganya. Margot, sentint-se lliure, visitarà al seu fill que viu amb una antiga amiga d'ella anomenada Gualupita (Lupe Inclán) sense saber que Juan la segueix d'amagat. Quan torna a la seva casa Juan li demana matrimoni i li confessa que ha descobert el seu secret i li ofereix ser el pare del seu fill.

Margot està boja de felicitat i a punt de reunir una família amb l'home que l'adora i amb el seu petit i envoltada de luxes quan de sobte una nit en què va al teatre amb Juan, aquest és aprehès i assassinat per la policia en intentar resistir-se. Aquí descobreix que Juan no era general sinó el cap de la Banda de l'Automòbil Gris i la policia la involucra com a còmplice, al grau de condemnar-la a vuit anys de presó. Ella accepta la pena i només demana que la deixin portar personalment al seu fill a l'orfenat.

En complir la seva condemna, vuit anys després, Margot surt de presó i al costat de Gualupita va directament a recollir al seu fill a l'orfenat per a portar-l'ho a viure amb ella. El director (Arturo Soto Rangel) de l'orfenat al saber del seu passat es nega a lliurar-l'hi perquè veu un brillant avenir per al noi i sent que Margot el truncarà. Quan Margot comprova que el director té raó quant als talents del seu fill no solamentel deixa al director, sinó que quan s'entrevista amb el noi li oculta que ella és la seva mare i per contra li diu que ha mort.

Margarita busca infructuosament treball i acaba tornant a la prostitució, però aquesta vegada al carrer on a poc a poc va descendint en la desesperació fins a convertir-se en una lladre, però sempre amb els diners que pot aconseguir fa el mateix: enviar-li-ho a Gualupita perquè continuï pagant l'educació del seu fill i aconsegueixi ser un gran advocat i home de bé. I en efecte, pocs anys després el seu fill, Margarito (Víctor Junco), es converteix en advocat i guanya un famós cas que el converteix en tota una personalitat. Margot assisteix al judici de manera anònima i el veu triomfar i en acostar-se a ell en el tumult del festeig pel seu triomf el li regala una moneda que ella valora per ser la prova que va aconseguir fer del seu fill un gran advocat i home de bé.

Dades i curiositats
Des de la seva concepció, Las abandonadas va ser un projecte fílmic accidentat. La incertesa amb la qual Fernández havia iniciat la seva relació amb Films Mundiales s'havia transformat en una confiança una miqueta excessiva, si s'ha de jutjar pel seu cada vegada més freqüent involucrament en la redacció dels guions de les seves pel·lícules.

Mentre l' "Indio" barrejava històries que havia vist en la pantalla amb esdeveniments de l'època revolucionària va sobrevenir la inesperada malaltia del productor Fink. Un núvol de pessimisme va aombrar els preparatius del rodatge, el pressupost del qual depassava ja el milió de pesos, bona part d'ells invertits en el costosíssim vestuari que un famós dissenyador de Hollywood va confeccionar per al lluïment de Dolores del Río. Finalment, els esforços per salvar la vida de Fink van ser inútils i el productor va morir tres setmanes abans d'iniciar la filmació.
El novembre de 1944, Las abandonadas estava llesta per a estrenar-se quan va sobrevenir la prohibició de la seva exhibició. El llavors cap del Departament de Censura Cinematogràfica, dependent de la Secretaría de Gobernación, va declarar que havia suggerit a Fernández i a Films Mundiales col·locar un subtítol que indiqués que la trama succeïa "En el turbulent Mèxic de 1914."
L'incident es va resoldre gràcies a la intervenció de periodistes i crítics cinematogràfics, qui van assenyalar la incongruència de prohibir l'exhibició d'un film el guió del qual havia estat revisat i autoritzat per les mateixes autoritats censores. Finalment, al març de 1945 -i afavorida per l'escàndol- Las abandonadas va ser estrenada amb gran èxit de públic.
Aquest film ocupa el lloc 93 dins de la llista de les 100 millors pel·lícules del cinema mexicà, segons l'opinió de 25 crítics i especialistes del cinema a Mèxic, publicada per la revista Somos el juliol de 1994.

Creating a disruptive music technology brand.
Rocudo is a web enabled technology geared towards the music industry. It allows labels, artists and music fans to download easy-to-use remixing software for your desktop and rapidly compiles remixes on the fly. These mixes can then be intelligently published into a series of widgets which can be shared and virally distributed across the web. Our deliverables included strategic direction, brand identity, website and software interface design.
We offset the black primary colour of the brand with an imagery style showing people in dynamic poses. The rainbow colour grad adds to the effect.
The final chosen symbol for Rocudo is inspired by an old reel to reel device, which hints at the remixing nature of the software platform.
The creative team love music software. We had a look at some leading forces of both hardware and software and studied their brand language.
We were given the name Rocudo to start with - And quickly set our minds in motion around creating conceptual themes that explored the business offer.
We looked at working with the R initial, but felt we were missing a trick with communicating the product magic.
We created a number of concepts exploring different ways of capturing the product essence.
To support the brand, we started to look at visual treatments that would enforce and communicate the capabilities of both the brand and the product itself.
We loved the fact that the symbol is so pure. Which suits the digital medium perfectly. Its easy to reproduce at small sizes and acts as a strong badge device in the interface itself.
For the web front end, we developed a glossy look and feel that suits the aesthetic of the target market.
The rocudo desktop software is controlled via a central dashboard.
We also advised on usability and functionality behind the interface logic, and then added our slick treatment over the top of the agreed layout.
Firedog developed the full user interface for a number of screens within the software. Here, the user selects clips for the mix.
A key deliverable was the design of a series of widgets created to integrate with leading social networks.
We ensured Rocudo communicates a brand that is driven, intelligent and stable.
Due to the consumer-led nature and impressionable taste of the music technology sector, we were tasked with developing a brand that was contemporary yet still had its roots firmly in the music business. Although Firedog has extensive web 2.0 technology experience, instead of developing just another clichéd glossy technology logo, we ensured Rocudo communicates a brand that is driven, intelligent and stable. We also conducted usability analysis on the core Rocudo software product with a view to streamlining and optimising the user experience.
The icon, a hybrid adaptation of a reel-to-reel device, is easily memorable and strong enough to reduce well across the web medium.
The branding for Rocudo is both progressive and classic. The icon, a hybrid adaptation of a reel-to-reel device, is easily memorable and strong enough to reduce well across the web medium. Supporting this brand language is a strong look and feel underpinned by the colour black which creates a sleek and sophisticated impression.
The software interface design marries simplicity with a tangible, good looking feel, without overwhelming the end user.
The software interface design marries simplicity with a tangible, good looking feel, without overwhelming the end user. We were careful to make sure that the positioning of the product was sufficiently approachable yet serious enough to come across as a serious market mover. With 12000 free users from over 100 countries to date, full social network integration and major partnership deals with leading online music brands – Rocudo is poised to revolutionise the music business.

How to to a code review - Handling pushback in code reviews
Information drawn from
Google - Handling pushback in code reviews
Sometimes a developer will push back on a code review. Either they will disagree with your suggestion or they will complain that you are being too strict in general.
Who is right?
When a developer disagrees with your suggestion, first take a moment to consider if they are correct. Often, they are closer to the code than you are, and so they might really have a better insight about certain aspects of it. Does their argument make sense? Does it make sense from a code health perspective? If so, let them know that they are right and let the issue drop.
However, developers are not always right. In this case the reviewer should further explain why they believe that their suggestion is correct. A good explanation demonstrates both an understanding of the developer's reply, and additional information about why the change is being requested.
In particular, when the reviewer believes their suggestion will improve code health, they should continue to advocate for the change, if they believe the resulting code quality improvement justifies the additional work requested. Improving code health tends to happen in small steps.
Sometimes it takes a few rounds of explaining a suggestion before it really sinks in. Just make sure to always stay polite and let the developer know that you hear what they're saying, you just don't agree.
Upsetting Developers
Reviewers sometimes believe that the developer will be upset if the reviewer insists on an improvement. Sometimes developers do become upset, but it is usually brief and they become very thankful later that you helped them improve the quality of their code. Usually, if you are polite in your comments, developers actually don't become upset at all, and the worry is just in the reviewer's mind. Upsets are usually more about the way comments are written than about the reviewer's insistence on code quality.
Cleaning It Up Later
A common source of push back is that developers (understandably) want to get things done. They don't want to go through another round of review just to get this CL in. So they say they will clean something up in a later CL, and thus you should LGTM this CL now. Some developers are very good about this, and will immediately write a follow-up CL that fixes the issue. However, experience shows that as more time passes after a developer writes the original CL, the less likely this clean up is to happen. In fact, usually unless the developer does the clean up immediately after the present CL, it never happens. This isn't because developers are irresponsible, but because they have a lot of work to do and the cleanup gets lost or forgotten in the press of other work. Thus, it is usually best to insist that the developer clean up their CL now, before the code is in the codebase and "done." Letting people "clean things up later" is a common way for codebases to degenerate.
If a CL introduces new complexity, it must be cleaned up before submission unless it is an emergency.If the CL exposes surrounding problems and they can't be addressed right now, the developer should file a bug for the cleanup and assign it to themselves so that it doesn't get lost. They can optionally also write a TODO comment in the code that references the filed bug.
General Complaints About Strictness
If you previously had fairly lax code reviews and you switch to having strict reviews, some developers will complain very loudly. Improving the speed of your code reviews usually causes these complaints to fade away.
Sometimes it can take months for these complaints to fade away, but eventually developers tend to see the value of strict code reviews as they see what great code they help generate. Sometimes the loudest protesters even become your strongest supporters once something happens that causes them to really see the value you're adding by being strict.
Resolving Conflicts
If you are following all of the above but you still encounter a conflict between yourself and a developer that can't be resolved, see The Standard of Code Review for guidelines and principles that can help resolve the conflict.

Because this is a question many of us can relate to, I decided to share Dr. Loehr's powerful answer. Here is the transcript of the Q&A.
I think it's worthy to note that Sylvia's tragic event was a horse injury. However, the advice given may be applied to any event that is deemed as tragic … physical, mental or emotional.
For an example, a year ago my really good barrel horse broke his leg in our final run and after the finish line during our championship event. He finished 4th out of 330.
After a long ordeal by the grace of God, his life has been spared. He will not ever be ridden again but he is alive and with me. I just want to say that before he broke his leg we had really started to excel and get to the top in our competitions running on the heels of some of the top barrel racers.
This was made possible by listening to your mental toughness CDs for barrel racing and reading the gift and putting the toughness training to work. Now I must say that I'm having a super tough time finding the motivation," and she has that in caps again. "I do love riding the horses and being in the game. However, I'm not sure if I'm willing to potentially sacrifice the animals to do it.
I still have the butterflies and my heart pounds when I think of running barrels again. However, I have not competed since. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you for doing the webcast.
Well, Sylvia, that's a very moving and very real kind of issue that you raise. You're obviously someone who cares deeply about the impact you have on your horses.
And you know the trauma to the horse created a great trauma in you and you kind of felt somehow responsible.
I wonder if you had broken you leg if you'd have the same hesitation? My guess is you wouldn't because you kind of – I guess you feel more responsible for taking the horse through that. But I can understand that until you work this through, you know, you will not feel right about it.
And I guess you have to kind of get to a point where you feel like this is not just a joy for you but it's also a joy for the horse, that barrel racing is something the horse gets a lot out of and really enjoys doing. And as in almost anything in life, there are risks.
And your horse survived but you kind of have to come to peace with this notion that just as this has brought you great joy, it also brings great joy and not pain normally to the horses that you're riding and training and the interactions you have with them and all the time you're spending with them.
And there is a great sense of connection between you that you wouldn't have if it were not for all the training and sacrificing and stuff that you make to make this possible.
So you know, I would say that the most important thing you can do is to sit down and write all your feelings out about it and then try to create kind of a new story. If you want to make this happen, you're going to have to create a new story that actually changes the meaning of that accident for you and the horse.
And if you're able to see this in a light that for you is very real, that it really isn't putting your horse at a great risk, there's a risk in everything. And that in fact the relationship that you have and the time you spend in training them and so forth and the joy that you get will be transferred to the horse. And this is just kind of the way that you develop an incredible relationship with this animal.
That it's – now, if it was animal after animal getting hurt, you might have a different take on it. But I don't know the incidence of injury, I don't know what that is but I know for instance in gymnastics and in other sports, the injury is like incredible, you know, that there's all kinds of risks involved.
But you know it's another kind of area to deal with when you're dealing with something different. But it's not unlike a parent saying I want my kid to be involved in gymnastics and they end up getting hurt all the time.
Well, there has to be a story that makes it all worthwhile. And so I would start there and you can change your thinking. You can change your story and work it hard enough, but you've got to get the purpose right and understand why this is important for you.
And why this is now something that you believe again is – it's actually not just a nice thing or it's okay to do but it's something that you really feel will add a lot of great things to your life and to the horses that you're training. And if you can get there you'll be back and if you don't, you won't.
But if you really want to make that happen, that's how I would start with you until you got a story that actually – we live our life through stories and if you get a story that works for you, you know, maybe the story you currently have you can't get there.
But there will be a story that will allow you to compete again if you want to do that and be great and really be at peace about it. And so that story is there but you have to work to find it.

Two words that are often misunderstood are repentance and judgment. Generally speaking most people think repentance is saying "I'm sorry" and they think that judgment is punishment. Repentance is a change of heart/mind. Judgment or discernment is determining of what sort something is(good or bad in this case). The reason why people fear judgment so greatly is because they know that they have done wrong and they know they will be judged according to that and punished for their deeds. Judgment proceeds punishment or reward. You are judged righteous or unrighteous and are rewarded for righteousness and punished for unrighteousness. Unfortunately, because of Adam we are judged unrighteous no matter what we say or do. So, unless something CHANGES we cannot be counted righteous and rewarded. Jesus came to CHANGE the relationship status between man and God. Man was separated from God because of man's now unrighteous nature. Jesus through the shedding of His blood, introduced a new system by which we become righteous. So, we change or repent from unrighteousness to righteousness. When we come to God with our change of heart/mind having faith that He will make us righteous, God sends His grace to change us from unrighteousness to righteousness.(Ephesians 2:8) At this point, all the old deeds, natures, lusts and desires have passed away and all new ones come.(1Corinthians 5:17) Now, you are judged righteous and will be rewarded not because of anything we have done but because of God's love for us.(Ephesians 2:9) We must make the decision to repent from Adam's unrighteousness and receive God's grace so we may be judged righteous in God's eyes on that day. God has so much for us, we just have to turn away from what we have now, take the step of faith toward Him and receive all that He has to give. It's not hard, just believe and receive the gift He has for you…a robe of righteousness.

I feel like I never left my desk. But through all the madness I did manage to get Colin's sweater sewn together and trimmed. Kelly really likes it. When she saw I had red buttons for it she was a little surprised but she didn't know about the red blanket stitch until it was finished. I will make the little hat that goes with it too. Eventually.
I worked at the Altoona First Festival at Lakemont Park on Friday evening and Saturday afternoon for Habitat for Humanity. It wasn't so bad. I worked the cash register most of the time so I didn't have to deal with the food which was fine by me. Then yesterday was all about Colin. He was baptized yesterday. So we had a big family party with too much good food. Way too much. We had a great day. The little guy is growing like a weed. The priest annointed his head with oil that smelled like cloves. He smelled wonderful all day. I obviously got it on my shirt because I could smell it all evening.
The golf tournament on Thursday was a huge success. We are fortunate to have our tournament just keep getting better year after year when others are struggling. I think we owe it to the hard work my brother does to keep it going. He's passionate about it. I actually started a sock there early in the morning and turned the heel before I left that day. It is the worsted weight hunting sock on size 4 needles, so it went quickly.
So today is Sept. 11th..... I can't believe it's been 5 years. I remember that year we had a decision to make about the golf tournament. It was scheduled for Sept. 13th and no one felt like doing anything but sitting at home and moping. We did decide to go on with it and it was a strange day. Everyone was so quiet. I sat out there all day long on that green just thinking about the ramifications and noticing how quiet it was without any air traffic. (there is a ton of air traffic over that area all the time) There is no way I could have realized that day how our world was going to change after that. A lot has happened since then. A lot of death and destruction.
It's been one year this month since we visited ground zero for the first time and only a few weeks since we've seen the Shanksville memorial site. We actually did see the Pentagon a few weeks after it was hit because we had a baptism in Arlington to go to. I just keep thinking.... how can this kind of hate exist?
I was in a meeting at the Blair County court house when it happened. I didn't know about it until after the meeting. I had my cell phone turned off and when I left there, I had a call from our secretary and frantic calls from my kids. I listened to my kids calls first and I was so confused. How could they be worried about two people in two different cities "because of what's going on"? My nephew worked at the Pentagon from time to time and my niece was living in Manhattan and often worked in the trade center buildings where her company had clients. No one rested until we heard they were both ok. We were lucky. So many were not.
It's really difficult to believe that it's been about 7 years since my sister in law died from the ravages of Multiple Sclerosis. She and my brother were sweethearts (and neighbors) from grade school on. She fought the good fight for a long time and I never heard her complain. I don't think she complained even to her family.
Today is the 6th Annual Anne E. Barnes Memorial Golf Tournament to benefit MS. Time flies. I can't believe we've been doing it this long. My job is sit on one of the greens to verify if anyone makes a hole in one. (They get a car! Someone better be watching!) I love this job. I get to sit outside, all day, in one of the most beautiful spots in Blair County. After a few years they offered to relieve me of these duties and find someone else willing to sit out there all day. Hey! No way sister!
I was able to add some length to Trellis and Vine last night. I'd say it is about 1/3 complete. I have a long way to go before Oct. 5th. (well, actually, Oct. 1st if you consider blocking time) Ugh. The pressure's on. The Jaeger Matchmaker merino DK is so nice. I highly recommend it. It is so soft.
Colin's sweater is dry and ready to sew. I can't decide between a back stitch seam or a seamless garter stitch seam. I read how to do that on knitty.com, but I'm thinking if I use the back stitch, it will take up some width and that might be good because it looks a little big for him. The floss will be used for a blanket stitch trim around all the edges.
In non-knitting silliness, I got this cool pen in the mail that has a lazer hickey on it. I get all these free pens in the mail because they want me to buy them to hand out to clients. This morning I was playing with it, and the dog noticed the lazer light and was trying to chase and bite it. Needless to say, I ended up having a lot of fun with that. Poor dog. Well I have to get my amusement in life somewhere.
Thanks for all the nice messages regarding my dad. The diagnosis is myelodysplastic syndrome. (or something like that) It is a pre-leukemia condition that could turn into leukemia sooner or later. She said you just have to keep checking it. His white cells are WAY out of whack. They are going to treat him for anemia now and chemo later if it developes into acute leukemia. Acute leukemia was my fear. So, when I left there today, I was relieved. I was prepared for the worst.
I've been a bad blogger. I'm so behind in catching up with everyone's news and knitting. But in my defense, there has been a lot going on. Work is insane with the transition. So much to do to get it completed. Much more than we ever realized. New signs, letterhead, office policy manual to be written, send licenses back to the state, advertising... the list goes on.
I did knit over the long weekend. Colin's sweater is blocking. Vine and Trellis is coming along. Tonight is knitting night so I should be able to put a few more inches on that. I want to get that finished for the beach on Oct.5th. I've decided to send for those stainless steel blocking wires to block it when it's finished. I wished I had had them when I was blocking Lady Eleanor so I know I'm going to want them for this. Then I'll have them for the LACE. I've decided I'm going to be a lace knitter if it kills me.
I am accompanying my father to a doctor appointment today that is very critical. He is getting some blood test results back that could be very bad news. All indications are that it is not good.
Keep a good thought. He takes care of my mother. Life is really scary sometimes.
Okay. I have the yarn. Now all I need is the pattern, the time, and the brains. Somehow I think the easiest one of these things to acquire is going to be the pattern. This is Scakel Merino lace weight. It's gorgeous. Unfortunately there are about 8 important projects ahead of it.
I know it's hard to tell right now, but these are my boss's hunting socks for Christmas. I scored this stuff at the LYS earlier in the week. It's worsted weight wool superwash from Kraemer Yarns. Warm and washable. What more can you ask of hunting socks?
So this is totally awesome knitting weather. Too bad I have to work all day. I can picture myself curled up in front of the fire just knitting away. Oh, wait, we don't have a fireplace. So I'd be curled up in front of the television with whatever golf tournament happens to be on with some college football game on the radio in the background, listening for the dryer buzzer to put another load in and worrying about what to cook for dinner. Work is sounding better all the time.

We Can't Ignore the ADHD Girls In the Corner Any Longer
ADHD girls are often overlooked or ignored as lazy, screw-ups. I lived without a diagnosis, and felt like a constant failure. It needs to end!
By Elizabeth Broadbent
Every class had those boys — the ones who didn't do their work and always climbed out of their seats. They never finished a worksheet, threw pencils, and talked too loud. They never raised their hand. Mostly, we didn't like those boys, the ones who were always sent to the office, the ones always fighting. We didn't have a name for those boys. Today, teachers and administrators call them ADHD. Today, they have IEPs, fidget toys, Ritalin. This generation of "those boys" has it much, much better.
But another group lurked in the classroom. We were mostly smart, but turned in worksheets littered with careless mistakes. A teacher might talk to us about it, or show her annoyance through some red pen. Nothing else. We sometimes shouted out answers without raising our hands, or spaced out and didn't bother to raise our hands at all. At times we talked loudly. But most of all, we forgot things. We forgot dates, names, permission slips, homework assignments, and books. We didn't remember. We were quieter than "those boys." But in the eyes of the school, we suffered from no less of a moral failing: How could we be so smart and so damn stupid?
A moral failure — this is what inattentive ADHD meant to me as a child.
It started early. In nursery school, we had a regular show-and-tell. I was always forgetting a suitable show-and-tell item, and after the why-can't-you-remember lecture, my grandmother would foist off whatever came to hand, usually my mother's old purple cat. One morning, I'd brought the cat, and another kid actually stopped me from talking. "We've all seen your cat before," he said, somewhat nastily. He insinuated that other people can remember to bring new things to show-and-tell. Why can't you?
I had it drilled into me. I had no common sense. I couldn't remember anything. My stomach dropped whenever I was asked to fetch something, because I knew that, no matter how specific the description, I'd never find it. I remember standing in my babysitter's basement, staring at a wall of blue plastic shelving while she screamed upstairs for me to hurry the hell up. I knew how the scene would go: I'd return upstairs, empty-handed. "Where is it?" she would roar. "I couldn't find it," I'd say, staring at the floor, hunching myself as small as possible, as if the words themselves would smack me down. "You really have no common sense, do you?" she'd say. "Why did I even bother?"
In kindergarten, I lost my Sesame Street bag when it was slung over the wrong shoulder. I did my work "too fast," which made it "too messy." I was told I could do better, so I would have to write the numbers from 1-100 again, please. I started my streak of forgetting permission slips. They got stuffed in my backpack, and why would I look in my backpack at home, or even think about school if I didn't have to? In fourth grade, I once forgot a permission slip for two weeks running. I was shamed. I was berated. The teacher read out the names of everyone who hadn't brought in the paper and let our classmates know we were disorganized moral failures.
[Free Resource: Inattentive ADHD Explained]
I also talked loudly. Many kids with ADHD speak loudly, especially when we're excited. This particularly bothered my mother, a stickler for social normalcy. My voice would creep into the upper registers, and she would snap, "Be quiet! Stop talking so loud!" When this happened over and over, I started to assume I shouldn't talk at all, that I didn't have anything worthy to say, that there was something wrong with me. Unlike my sister, of course, who hardly ever raised her voice.
One day, in fifth grade, I was spacing in math class when the teacher caught me. She confiscated the unicorn erasers I'd been playing with, and handed them over to my homeroom teacher to return. "I hear you weren't paying attention in math," she said. I shrugged. "I hear you were making your erasers talk to each other." She raised her voice to a falsetto. "Hi, Mr. Unicorn! How are your rainbows today? We should go eat some more clouds!" My face grew red. I wanted to disappear. "I was not," I said with as much dignity as I could muster, "making them talk to each other." She laughed at me.
The next year, Catholic school saved me. We had certain pens for writing, other pens for underlining (with a ruler!), certain copybooks for one subject, and other copybooks for another. We wrote all our homework assignments in a neat little flipbook. By this time, the terror of my parents had overridden forgetfulness. I had my homework. I had my permission slips — because I had a nun who would call my mother if I didn't. In seventh and eighth grades, we colored in, day by day, little squares indicating that we had completed homework-a cool turquoise or a glaring red. Homework reports were sent home. I couldn't get a bad report. I was too afraid. I still made careless mistakes. I still forgot books. I still talked loudly, when I didn't feel too scared to talk. But at least some things improved, if just through terror.
I had a certifiable anxiety disorder by then. I also had a mood disorder, and probably had both since about age seven. Certainly, my brain chemistry predisposed me to that. But so did the responses to my ADHD. I heard, almost daily, that I had no common sense. I heard people ask, "What is wrong with you?" and roll their eyes. A lifetime of this can demoralize a kid. The small aggressions wear a child down.
We recognize ADHD in "those boys." They get IEPs, allowances, counseling. Help. We don't often recognize ADHD in girls. It's the girl in the corner, the one who makes careless mistakes and plays with her erasers. Those girls are getting left behind, sometimes with dire mental health consequences. We need to find these girls. We need to tell them they aren't lazy, screw-ups, or moral failures. They need to know. Then they can start to heal — and thrive.

Early-Stage
Subscribe to Smart Business Dealmakers
By Mark Scott on January 24, 2019
Cleveland Dealmakers
Last year, Adam Kaufman studied an estimated 500 early-stage companies to assess their long-term viability. Helping startups refine their message and pursue their goals brings the entrepreneur great satisfaction, win or lose. "I've found that even when people pass on an opportunity, they're honored that we asked them," says Kaufman, an adviser to JumpStart Inc. and OVO Fund, as well as founder of Up2 Foundation. Kaufman has built his career helping early-stage entrepreneurs secure funding for their business ventures. And he knows the challenges well. "You'd be surprised how rarely entrepreneurs state the use of the funds they are seeking," he says by way of example. "Investors always want to know, 'What are you going to do with my money?'" In this week's Dealmaker Q&A, Kaufman explains how entrepreneurs build trust by being authentic, delivering value and following through.
What do you enjoy about helping entrepreneurs raise money?
If you believe in the person who has something you're raising money for, it's very fulfilling in a non-financial way to help them pursue their goal or dream. That goes for philanthropic money in addition to for-profit money because I enjoy both. There are so many good ideas out there, and a lot of folks who don't have access to capital. I've built my career working around affluent people and trying to earn their trust and develop what I call 'relationship equity.' If we could tactfully once in a while make some withdrawals from that equity, it could be mutually beneficial for the investor or donor, and then the entrepreneur or charity.
How does relationship equity allow for better dealmaking?
If you help others, if you try to assist others without any transactional benefit to yourself, these are deposits into the relationship equity bank. And once in a while, you can make a withdrawal. So the trust comes from always doing what you say you're going to do, never trying to be somebody you aren't and being authentic. I joke, but it's true: I'm usually the least accomplished person at the table. But I never try to outsmart the smart physician or the patriarch who has me flying on his plane. I'm just myself and I try to connect people, deliver value to them, earn their trust and then once in a while, tactfully ask for a withdrawal.
What's another way entrepreneurs misread investors?
Don't assume because somebody is affluent, they're going to invest. There are so many affluent people who don't want to put their money at high risk. Too many people look at a list of the highest paid CEOs and assume all those are good targets for investing. That's not always the case. It's more about this risk-tolerance mindset, where you like early-stage investing. Too often, founders chase wealthy people, but if they've never invested in startups before, it's tough to be the first one.
How does Cleveland rate as an incubator for early-stage companies?
We need more risk-tolerant investors to be willing to spend some of their hard-earned money on higher risk, higher reward opportunities. I'm a partner in a Palo Alto-based fund called the OVO Fund. In the first fund in 2014, I was introducing my Northeast Ohio high-net-worth friends to this opportunity to invest in startups in Silicon Valley. Nine Northeast Ohio people invested, not a high number of people. In 2017, we're on our second fund with the OVO Fund, we have 31 Northeast Ohio people. So, in just three years' time, I can already see the increased interest in investing in startups.
What are some final words of wisdom on effective dealmaking?
Follow through on whatever you say you're going to do. If you tell someone, 'I'll get back to you with the answer to that question,' then do it. It sounds so simple, but it's shocking how many people don't follow up. 'Oh, you want to meet so and so to consider such and such. I'll introduce you.' Do it. When I follow through and do those things, you wouldn't believe the praise I get for simply following through. That earns trust and it builds the relationship.

WhatsApp is a great messaging app, but downloading it is not the same on all devices. Depending on the technology, the downloading process will vary.
Some have found that they struggle to get it on their smartphones or tablets, but here is an easy way to install it on the Google Nexus 9, iPad and Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet. N.b. systems.
Some have found that installing on the Nexus 9 is a challenge. However, installing the app is worth the effort on the Nexus 9. One reported issue is that the platform crosses with the instant messenger app, and it is known to cause problems. It isn't officially able to be installed straight from the Google Play Store without WI-FI service, but there is no need to use a SIM card or root it to activate. Whenever installing apps that are non-support by the device, do it without rooting. Any rooting will ruin the warranty and could potentially be harmful to the device. To use it as you would use it in a smartphone; use this alternate method to activate.
1. Go to the settings menu and make sure that the device allows you to install apps that are third party. Because there is no rooting, the app won't synchronize with other devices. It's just like a fresh installation and to set up contacts, you will have to do so manually.
2. Start by downloading the official APK file of the WhatsApp app, which is compatible with the Nexus 9. Go to the URL, http://www.whatsapp.com/android/current/WhatsApp.apk.
3. Next you will be brought to a download page. Click on the button that says "download." The download process will begin.
4. After installed, go back into the settings button. Make sure the phone has the ability to receive SMS messages. Should you have any trouble, make sure to enable 3rd party apps in the settings of the device. It won't allow you to install the APK files if this is not done.
Whatsapp can be used on a tablet that is either an android or iPad. It can be used on a phone that doesn't have either 3G or 4G connectivity. Whether it is an iPad or an Android makes the process diverse, for this one we will explain the iPad.
2. Use the iFunBox to transfer it to the iPad. So if there are no connectivity issues, you can simply download it from the Google store without issue. WhatsApp APK file is compatible with iPad either with or without connectivity.
Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet. N.b.
The Sony Xperia is an Android based tablet. In order to install the WhatsApp on this type of device, you will need to tweak your security settings a bit.
1. Go the settings menu and scroll down until you see the security section.
2. Click on the security tab and look for Device Administration.
3. You will need to enable the unknown sources for this app to work. If you have already tried an install without this, you can go back and do it at any time. The app won't work without it. If you haven't' installed it yet, proceed with installation.
4. It will bring up a notification bar that will let you know when it is complete.
There is still one more challenge to overcome. The WhatsApp has a phone verification system. The text message can be sent to your phone, but there is no way to send or detect a message from a tablet computer. The WhatsApp will automatically send a verification that it has failed within five minutes. It will then give you the option to try voice verification. Simply tap the "call me", button. The computer will call and give a verification code that is needed to proceed.
If the tablet is WI-FI only, once the account has been verified, the app will not work on the smartphone anymore. Only one phone number can be associated with the account. It is best to verify the services on the device that is used the most. To use the app on both a cellular phone and a tablet, simply use two separate numbers. *Note: Set-up shouldn't be a problem. Just remember to check the security settings and see that SMS is enabled.


On the Import music collections page, add your list of tracks to the field with the yellow frame or upload a file in the field below.
Yandex.Music will match the track names in the list to its own catalog. You can save any tracks it finds to your library individually, or add them to an existing or new playlist. If there are more than 10,000 imported tracks, the service will create several playlists for them.

The Treaty of Kortrijk (Dutch: Verdrag van Kortrijk) was signed the 28 March 1820 in the current Museum of Arts Broelmuseum in the Belgian city of Kortrijk. This treaty laid out the boundaries between France and the United Kingdom of the Netherlands (under the reign of King William I of the Netherlands). Belgium inherited the border upon its independence from the Netherlands in 1830. Nowadays, these boundaries still stand, with some minor corrections, as the official boundaries between Belgium and France and between Luxembourg and France.

Prior to the treaty, border markers were set up on the French-Nederland border in 1819. The Treaty stipulates that if a debate on boundaries is needed, a committee of representatives from France and Belgium will discuss it , but meetings have not been held since 1930.

In 2021, the treaty was inadvertently violated when a disgruntled Belgian farmer moved one of the border markers seven feet (2.2 metres) into French territory, enlarging not only his land but the entire country of Belgium. The mayors of the neighbouring French and Belgian villages took the encroachment good-naturedly, and the farmer was issued with a letter ordering that the stone be moved back to its original position.

Hair Pulling Trauma
Trichotillomania is the medical High Quality 3D Mink Lashes attributed to individuals who pull out their own hair. There is no known medical cure or medication that can provide a solution for the syndrome.
A surprising number of Americans, upward of 11 million, wrestle daily with an overwhelming urge to repeatedly pluck out their hair, eyebrows, High Quality 3D Mink Lashes , pubic hair, or other body hair, often resulting in noticeable bald spots.
What can holistic medicine and alternative approaches tell us about trichotillomania?
High Quality 3D Mink Lashes
Is it an allergy? From my experience in helping teenagers with hair pulling, it didn't appear that food or environmental allergies were triggering this behavior.
Is it an infection? I was unable to make a correlation between infection and High Quality 3D Mink Lashes pulling.
Is it a nutritional deficiency? While I did notice some nutritional deficiencies in the patients I treated with trichotillomania, I don't think this was the source of the problem.
In my clinical experience, I observed that the common denominator to be emotional stress. All the patients suffered from some underlying traumatic experience. A family member had recently died or there was a divorce. But what can cause this emotional disruption if there is no apparent trauma?
Llmsu may provide an explanation for a non-evident trauma. Epigenetics is the study of inherited alterations in appearance or gene expression caused by something other than changes in the DNA. If someone experiences an unresolved trauma, this emotional upset could be transferred to the offspring generations later. It has been noted that the lifespan of those whose grandparents went through a famine tend to have a shorter lifespan. Epigenetics shows that emotional trauma can work like switches in the body and reproductive line; they can turn genes on or off.
It's the current medical opinion that a chemical imbalance exists in the brain of patients who have High Quality 3D Mink Lashes. My findings were that while serotonin needed to be balanced, there wasn't necessarily a deficiency in serotonin levels. Rather, there was a blockage of emotional energy-perhaps related to some personal trauma or trauma experienced by a family predecessor.
Through individual evaluations, the main emotional triggers can be resolved. Utilizing a combination of various holistic techniques, the patients I treated all eventually recognized their stressors and eliminated them from their lives. Even with the trauma released, new stress, anxiety, or depression can trigger a recurrence of behavior and symptoms. Therefore, it is important to do follow-ups for a year.
For more information on hair pulling, there are a few dozen books on the topic at Amazon.com and there is a support group called the High Quality 3D Mink Lashes Learning Center.
For 20 years, Dr. Mike treated many celebrities, CEOs and medical doctors in Los Angeles.
And he has toured the country treating colleagues. Dr. Mike and his family moved to Atlanta where he joined forces with a group of doctors at Millennium Healthcare and High Quality 3D Mink Lashes Surgery Center. Millennium offers each patient the best of both conventional and holistic medicine.

RICE, JOSEPH MAYER:
By: Cyrus Adler, A. Porter
American physician and editor; born May 27, 1857, at Philadelphia, Pa. He was educated at the public schools of Philadelphia and New York, at the College of the City of New York, and at the College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York (M.D. 1881). From 1881 to 1883 he was resident physician at Mount Sinai Hospital, New York, and from 1885 to 1886 house physician at the Montefiore Home in the same city.
In 1888 Rice abandoned the practise of medicine to devote himself to the study and working out of some practical problems in education, especially with regard to his original idea that a system of education might be based on the inductive principle. To this end he studied psychology and pedagogics in the universities of Jena and Leipsic, and on his return to the United States personally examined about 125,000 children in schools of all kinds. He is still continuing his researches. The result of his investigations appeared in the "Forum" (Dec., 1896; Jan., Feb., April, and June, 1897), of which magazine Rice has been the editor since May, 1897. He is the author of "The Public School System of the United States" (New York, 1893) and "The Rational Spelling-Book" (ib. 1898) as well as of many articles on educational subjects in various journals.
