The other day, I came across an unsourced photo on Instagram of a strange animal. I posted it on social media looking for answers because what the heck is this thing?
@rachelzarrell @darth a bog? A dear? A dor? A beag?
A few people told me they thought it was a bush dog, a rare animal found mostly in South America. But... I don't think so.
After some (pretty basic) searching I found that the source was Reddit user TheRedFoxx, who posted the image online last week under the caption "Somebody brought this bear into doggie day care."
But the commenters weren't convinced, and speculated that it was some kind of mixed breed.
Eventually, the original poster wrote that the creature's owners said it was a Pomeranian. BUT I'M NOT CONVINCED.
So I emailed him to ask for some more info. I'll update with his response.
Is it a bear? A dog? A beardog (bog)? A giant cat? A science experiment that escaped from a CIA lab???
Very important bear/dog update: the creature is apparently a pomeranian mix named Bounce, owner Elizabeth Maguyon, who hails from Georgia, told BuzzFeed. The photo was taken at West Nashville boarder The Dog Spot, according to the location's owner, Chad Baker.
"I had texted the one photo to several friends jokingly saying she was a bear," Dog Spot employee Ryan Horn told BuzzFeed. "One friend, Lanier Basenberg, shared the photo to Reddit...and it just took off from there!"

by TAYLOR INMAN
Bigfork Eagle | December 7, 2022 12:00 AM
Bruce Miller grew up in Montana with a love of photography, now he travels the world in search of people and places that challenge the imagination and break preconceptions. Miller has been published internationally, and now a collection of his work will be displayed at the Bigfork Art and Cultural Center starting Dec. 15.
Miller is currently based in Idaho, but much of his work takes place overseas. After a trip to Africa reignited his love for photography in 2006, he and his wife began their work in conservation. An artist in her own right, his wife has a career writing children's books based around issues of conservation. They often travel to parts of Africa, India and more to work with different groups, such as Elephants Without Borders in Botswana and the African Wildlife Federation. Three of his Africa images were selected and published in the Africa Geographic 2017 Yearbook and he was an Africa Geographic Photographer of the Year finalist for 2019.
Miller said he contributes photographs to these groups for their conservation efforts. Also participating in Photographers Without Borders, his work on their human-elephant conflict project has been featured by the Sri Lanka Wildlife Conservation Society.
When it comes to conservation, Miller is drawn to documenting his subjects in the complexity they live in, highlighting multiple issues at once.
"As soon as you start to look at wildlife issues, then you start to look at habitat issues— and the conflicts are always with people and those habitats. So you really broaden your perspective in terms of what conservation really means … My interests have kind of gone beyond just trying to take great images of certain types of wildlife, to how that translates into really broader conservation efforts and making a difference in that perspective," Miller said.
In addition to his work photographing wildlife and landscapes, Miller has spent time with some very remote indigenous communities in Africa. He's taken trips to the Omo Valley in Ethiopia, among other villages, to learn about their culture and document their traditions. He said there's a certain way to go about photographing people to ensure he is respecting boundaries and etiquette.
"You're not necessarily sticking a camera in their face, you try and engage with people, to the extent you can with language barriers. So, I use a kind of a combination of techniques: the first thing is when you're going to remote and austere areas, you really need a handler, or also called a 'fixer' and that person is going to help with the logistics and security. You also need someone that's going to be able to speak the language ... And then beyond that, it's a lot of the same type of skills, you try to engage with people on a personal level before you start taking pictures," Miller said.
He said occasionally they have to get permission from a tribal elder, or someone in a position of authority, to take photos in a village. But he relies on local experts to help him get the best photos on these trips.
"Putting all that together and engaging with people— and lots of smiles along the way obviously helps, too," Miller said.
Miller said he tries to bring an element of storytelling to the photographs. He will often put storyboards alongside an exhibit to provide context, which will also be available alongside photographs he took of indigenous tribes at his BACC exhibit.
It's the first time this collection of Miller's photographs have been displayed together. He said he's held exhibits in Myanmar, Papua New Guinea and Ethiopia, but he's never had one in Montana.
"I've had a really good response in other locations. These are places people will probably never visit, but it's just really interesting to get their reaction to indigenous cultures from other parts of the world. And then obviously, there's indigenous tribes in northwest Montana. So I'm just really interested in seeing how it all comes together and how it's received," Miller said.
"Cultures and Land in Transition" will feature photographs of wildlife, landscapes and people. The wildlife section includes photos from several continents and species including Africa, Borneo, and India. The "Water is Life" portion will feature images of the Earth's water sources from Antarctica and the Arctic region of Greenland and Iceland, to the tropical Pacific Ocean and the Belize Barrier Reef Reserve System. The "Cultures and Tradition" collection highlights three cultures, the tribes of the Omo Valley in Ethiopia, Burmese and tribes of Papua New Guinea.
An opening reception for Miller's exhibit will take place at the BACC on Dec. 15, from 5:30 - 7 p.m. Attendance is free and the event will be catered. More information about Miller and Naturally Wild Photography can be found on his website naturallywild.com.


Alexander C. Schütz; The influence of retinal and head-centered motion on perceived duration. Journal of Vision 2011;11(11):1224. doi: 10.1167/11.11.1224.
The apparent duration of moving stimuli increases with temporal frequency (Kanai et al., Journal of Vision, 2006) or speed (Kaneko & Murakami, Journal of Vision, 2009). Here we investigated if this increase depends on retinal or head-centered temporal frequency respective speed. Smooth pursuit eye movements were used to disentangle retinal from head-centered motion.
We presented two Gabors in separate time intervals and asked subjects to judge which one lasted longer. The Gabors had a sinusoid spatial frequency of 1 c/deg, a Gaussian standard deviation of 0.75 deg and were presented 4 deg above or below a fixation point. One Gabor had a fixed duration of 500 ms (standard) and was oriented vertically, so that its retinal speed was modulated by horizontal eye movements. The other Gabor had a variable duration (test) and was oriented horizontally, so that its retinal speed was independent of horizontal eye movements. The order of standard and test was randomized. In a fixation baseline condition the fixation point was stationary and the standard Gabor was drifting inside the stationary envelope at speeds of 3.5, 7.0, 10.5 and 14.0 deg/s. In two different pursuit conditions the fixation point moved horizontally at the same speeds: In a retinal motion condition, the standard sinusoid was physically stationary but moving on the retina. In a head-centered motion condition the standard sinusoid drifted at the same speed as the fixation point, so that it was stabilized on the retina.
The apparent duration increased with speed in the fixation baseline condition. In the retinal motion condition, the increase of apparent duration was similar to the fixation baseline condition. However there was almost no increase of apparent duration with speed in the head-centered motion condition. These results suggest that perceived duration depends on retinal rather than on head-centered motion.
This work was supported by the DFG Forschergruppe FOR 560.

With a full 7-piece live band made up of some of the UK's leading musicians, backing singers, and the internationally acclaimed conductor David Lawrence – it makes for one of the most exciting and memorable musical experiences you can imagine.
"Our music is specially selected to create a diverse musical repertoire all with the intention to introduce children to the widest possible spectrum of music.
"By providing a diverse range of musical styles children will learn, enjoy, and gain a fuller understanding of music and what it means to sing together. We also aspire to connect families through music and to share in the learning experience when children practice at home."
The Upton Junior School team was accompanied by Year 3 teachers Isobel Reed and Lauren Watmough, who run the weekly singing club, and Year 6 teaching assistant Rosie Brown.
They said: "The Upton singers were proud to be part of a huge community children's choir that spans the UK."
Ramsgate Arts Primary Year 2 teacher Alice Rees-Boughton said: "It was an experience of a lifetime for our RAPS pupils. They loved every second."
Songs that the Viking Academy Trust schools performed included a Stevie Wonder medley, Ed Sheeran's 'Castle on a Hill', Rag n Bone Man's 'Human', and 'I'm Yours' by Jason Mraz.

Precocious Norwich City Nigerian teenage striker, Adam Idah grabbed the headlines yet again on Tuesday after helping himself to four of his side's goals in a 6-0 trouncing of Borussia Dortmund II at the Schwansbell Stadium.
Idah, 17, was one of the two players of Nigerian descent in his side's starting XI, the other been defender, Timi Odusina and the duo were impressive during their run-outs.
The striker particularly put in a sensational showing for the Canaries, opening scoring from the spot just five minutes into the match before waltzing through the Dortmund defence to feed teammate, Payne who then set up Spyrou to score.
His best was even yet to come though as he scored four minutes to the break and then added two more afterwards, the pick of his efforts arguably his last to make it 6-0 when he took on the opposition defenders, outwitting them in style before dispatching with aplomb.
Both players were promoted to the U23s last season despite their tender years and they will not be short of suitors who will be willing to offer them first team football.
At the end of last campaign, the talented striker, who has been compared to Sweden legend Zlatan Ibrahimovic, made a clean sweep of the club's annual awards, taking home both the U18 Player Of The Year and Academy Player Of The Year.

World Cup: Dutch trio reach the final
Aidan Small 04 Jul 2019
Four of our stars were in World Cup action on Tuesday and Wednesday night. Read on to find out how they fared.
Vivianne Miedema, Danielle van de Donk and Jill Roord all starred in Netherlands' 1-0 win over Sweden on Wednesday night, booking their place in the Women's World Cup final.
It was a tightly-contested encounter over 90 minutes with chances arriving few and far between, but deep into extra time Jackie Groenen latched on to a deflected pass by van de Donk and fired into the bottom corner.
Our Dutch trio are now set to face the USA in the final on Sunday, July 7 with kick-off at 4pm (UK time).
Elsewhere, Leah Williamson and Beth Mead's World Cup campaign came to an end on Tuesday night, as they were beaten 2-1 by the USA.
Christen Press opened the scoring with a guided header past Carly Telford in the 10th minute, before Ellen White levelled the score with a first-time finish, courtesy of a stunning delivery from Mead.
However, the USA pushed on and less than 10 minutes later restored their advantage through Alex Morgan, who broke free of the Lionesses' defence and headed home the winner.
Our English duo will now face Sweden in a third-place play-off on Saturday, July 6 at 4pm (UK time).

Conde Nast Traveller is India's leading luxury travel media brand. Through its magazine, website and social media channels, Conde Nast Traveller (CNT) reaches out to over 400,000 readers with information on premium travel.
CNT had a website built on Drupal 6. It did not receive the page views that the team wanted due to SEO issues. Because of this and security reasons, the CNT team wanted to upgrade the website to Drupal 7. At the same time they wanted a new design to be implemented that would be mobile friendly as well as enable flexible and state-of-the-art digital advertising options.
Enabled advertising options such as integration with Doubleclick for Publishers, parallax ads, overlay ads, tile takeover ads, home-page like adoptions for sponsors, and the ability to serve different ads to the same page depending on the landing URL.
Srijan was contracted to handle this project of migration to Drupal 7 as well as implementing the new design for the website. This also involved integration with ad networks, enabling the right rendering for mobile formats and custom development to enable new advertising options via Drupal. Srijan followed the agile methodology for this development.
Srijan's team worked as a thought partner for CNT and gave valuable inputs to them during the course of the development. The CNT team developed the designs for the online and mobile formats. Srijan reviewed these designs and recommended changes that would enable resue of modules for later projects that the team wanted to implement. Srijan gave inputs to bring in consistency in user experience across devices.
Srijan also recommended changes in areas that industry best practices could be implemented on the CNT website.
The website is responsive and mobile friendly thus ensuring that CNT's growing mobile readership and ad revenues get a further boost. Srijan ensured that the site would not only render very well on various screen sizes, but also on non-standard sizes as well.
With the earlier implementation, the CNT editorial team needed to create 4-5 versions of the same story so that it could be published on different pages, or go for syndication. Srijan enabled the process to let them do this with one version using nodequeue.
With new content types introduced, the editors can now bundle content under one topic or theme and easily promote it without having to disturb the main menu, or depend on the tech team to implement it.
The redesign of the website was to increase reader traffic and engagement. The new site has a new, trendy tiled layout using large images.
Readers now now only get the option to share a link, but also images and even quotes from a story. And if they find a story through a listing, they can share it right from the listing and don't even have to click to the story page.
Ad management was a key requirement of CNT. The CNT team needed various options to serve ads depending on the kind of content being consumed by readers online.
Srijan customized Drupal to work with Doubleclick for Publishers, the ad-serving platform used by CNT.
CNT wanted parallax ads to be implemented. Parallax scrolling creates an illusion of depth in a 2D environment, thus giving a different user experience.
Another requirement was to have overlay graphics to promote ads and content. These are served to a visitor only once in 24 hours. The visitor can thus see the message or ad without considering it an annoyance.
CNT also wanted to have themes around topics which would essentially work as tags on a website. Themes aggregate all the content of a topic on one page. Having content presented as themes as well as a separate page enables CNT to serve different ads to the same page.
CNT also now has a tile takeover ad option, that allows ads to appear as a small graphic and takeover more space fluidly on click or mouseover.
The website now has an option to create a home-page like page for sponsors who might want to get associated with specific content and have only their ads on display on that page.
Multiple pageviews on a slideshow are enabled to get see better impressions for ads.
Usually a Drupal 6 to D7 migration is fairly simple if it does not involve a structure change. In this project, a structure change was needed to enable improved taxonomy and creation of content types.
Another challenge was to maintain the existing URLs so that visitors who may have bookmarked the site would not end up with missing content. Srijan wrote scripts to enable automatic redirects to the right pages on the new website.
The images on the old website had captions in various formats. Srijan migrated them to the new website as well. The new website has a specific field for this now to ensure consistency.
The new Drupal 7 website is hosted on Acquia Cloud.
Ensured proper migration of stories and related elements: Despite the migration from D6 to D7 being challenging because of change in web structure, Srijan ensured all the content was migrated properly.
Improved productivity of online editorial team: The team can publish a story just once, and then assign it to appear on various pages or for syndication easily. They don't have to create multiple versions any more. This also works out better for search engine optimization for the CNT website.
Design and features to engage the reader: With a new, trendy layout that renders beautifully on mobile screens, options to share content in various ways, and ability to view related content in one place, the reader will find the site engaging. Initial reports indicate a significant rise in page views.
Many advertising options: Srijan has customized Drupal 7 to enable various advertising options that render very well on mobile devices as well. Advertisers can now opt for innovative ad formats on the website to interact with the reader.
Drupal was chosen as the website was already on Drupal 6. The site owner wanted to go for a massive re-design so the development team suggested to move to Drupal 7 as it is a better and stable version. Moving to Drupal 7 was also needed to have a better performing, much secure site.
Theme was chosen as it is less buggy and responsive in most possible ways. Easy to use and customise. Respective modules were chosen for the need and ease of use that they provided.
Srijan is an 11 year old web services consulting company with expertise in building high-traffic websites and complex web applications in Drupal. Srijan is based in New Delhi, India and has offices in Delaware, USA and Dharamshala, India. We have served over 200 clients across Asia, Europe, United States and Middle East.

Akram, aged 12, shows the scar from shrapnel that hit him as he was fleeing Syria four years ago

The lost boys of Syria
How to help a generation of refugees schooled by the horrors of warfare

Twelve-year-old Akram sits on the floor of his tent, lost in thought. A shaft of sunlight streams in from a single window, dust dancing among the rays. Akram lets the brightness play across his fingers. Perhaps his mother is doing the same, sitting on the floor of her cell, in Syria, where she stands accused of spying.
Akram is one of the lost boys of Syria, a generation stripped of their childhood and forced to exchange a normal education for schooling in the horrors of war.
"My Dad, he died in Syria – they shot him." – Akram, 12.
Many who made it here to this Sunni Muslim camp have fled their war-torn homes in Syria – Akram's brother and sister among them. What's left of their family live today in a refugee camp in northern Lebanon, which they share with 1100 others crammed into 350 tents.
Cuddly toys show Syrian children they're 'knot' forgotten
The day the Bible saved our lives: a Syrian refugee's story
There are at least 1.5 million registered refugees in Lebanon. The steady influx of the dispossessed from Syria has increased the population of this small country by as much as 50 per cent.
A cold wind from distant Mount Lebanon searches out cracks and flaps in the sturdy canvas. Beyond those snowy mountains lies Syria, and the city where Akram used to live, and where fierce fighting took place.
"My Dad, he died in Syria – they shot him," says Akram. "My brother was fighting against the other soldiers, and they killed him too. He was 30."
His brother's death was Akram's signal to leave. With his sister and younger brother, he managed to escape from Syria – but only just.
Troops took aim at their fleeing car. Shrapnel tore into Akram's body, close to his right hip. He had to find treatment in a country where hospitals have become targets. It took doctors three hours to dig out the metal and clean the wound. He lifts his grey sweatshirt to show the scar. Those doctors did a good job. Akram was impressed.
"I want to be a doctor," he says. "To help people."
There's just one problem. Akram is bright, but his schooling was cut short by war four years ago. He can neither read nor write. There are schools outside the camp that will take the younger children. They line up with their green backpacks to catch the daily bus. But that bus departs without boys like Akram.
15-year-old Abed can remember many things no child should ever have seen.
So, he joins the others of his lost generation, on wasteland overlooking the sea of tents. They chuck stones at bottles propped up on breeze blocks, and play war games. Bits of broken wood become Kalashnikovs. Captured boys are marched, hands on heads, to the stronghold, a pile of rocks. A shepherd, oblivious, cajoles his sheep along a road.
Giving these troops their orders is Fares, who's 17 and old enough to remember what drove him out of Syria.
"It was a big fight, yes, between the Syrian army and the others. And it was terrible."
His friend, 15-year-old Abed, can remember many things no child should ever have seen. Look into these boys' eyes and you see a reflection of what they have been forced to behold and what they cannot forget. And there is bitterness in their words.
Abed's eyes flicker and narrow as he tells how his uncle was captured, tortured and killed. "They made him suffer a lot. I saw a lot of people dead and suffering because of the war. It was hard for me to see all this."
Abed's T-shirt is black and red. His eyes have hardened into an unflinching stare: "I am asking God to punish all those people who hurt us."
"I hope that Syria will be like before – a land of peace." – Fares, 17.
There is nothing in this camp to dispel those terrible memories. Yet somehow the glow of home has become detached from the nightmare. These boys want to go back to Syria, even though they know their houses will be nothing but rubble. Abed's home was blown apart by a tank.
Fares holds on to his hope – the hope of one day being able to return. "I hope that Syria will be like before – a land of peace."
Until that day, it's back to pelting rocks with stones and playing soldiers. And waiting for the world to change.
The Bible Societies of Lebanon and Australia are working together to give these children the chance of recovering some of their lost years of schooling. They're drawing up plans to provide literacy training in a number of refugee camps.
Meanwhile, Akram sits in his tent, playing with the shaft of sunlight across his fingers. Four years have passed since he saw his mother. But Akram hasn't given up on life. Although his expression often reverts to unutterable sadness, Akram is a little boy who would rather smile than cry.

"A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state,the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."-- Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
Watch this video on YouTube.
At a time when many high-profile politicians are comfortable proposing laws that impose serious burdens on the right to keep and bear arms, including the mass confiscation of commonly owned firearms, it's important to remember that those same firearms are regularly used by average Americans to defend their life, liberty, and property.
While some gun control advocates claim the Second Amendment is a dangerous historical relic, even going so far as to call for its repeal, they often overlook the fact that firearms are significantly more likely to be used for self-defense than in criminal activity.
In fact, according to a 2013 report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, almost all national studies of defensive gun uses have found that firearms are used in self-defense between 500,000 and 3 million times every year in the United States.
Additionally, an independent analysis of the CDC's own internal data on defensive gun uses indicates that firearms are used defensively about 1 million times a year, dwarfing the number of deaths and injuries attributable to their criminal use.June was full of instances of law-abiding citizens who relied on their Second Amendment rights to defend their inalienable rights.
June 2, Martinsville, Virginia: A man filling his tank at a gas station successfully defended himself against two would-be robbers armed with handguns. The victim was unharmed, but one of the assailants, who exchanged gunfire with the victim, was shot and injured.
June 4, Sun City Center, Florida: A man suspected of committing multiple carjackings was fatally shot by an armed business manager with a concealed-carry permit while the man was attempting to break into the manager's store.
The suspected carjacker-turned-burglar was also armed, despite an extensive criminal history disqualifying him from lawful firearm possession.
June 5, Bakersfield, California: A woman defended her home and her children by retrieving her handgun and shooting a man using a hammer to break into her home. The injured man was later charged with several crimes, including carrying a concealed weapon, but neither the woman nor her kids were harmed.
-Bulletproof Home Defense !"Kick Ass" Home Security!
June 6, Cincinnati: A woman shot her ex-boyfriend after he "kicked out the A/C unit and tried to break through the front window" of her home. According to police, the mother of five children—who were also home at the time of the incident—had a restraining order against the man.
While speaking about the case, Hamilton County Prosecuting Attorney Joseph Deters made it clear just how important it was for this mother to be armed: "It is hard to imagine what might have happened to her or her children if she had not been able to protect herself and her family."
June 7, Chicago: A Good Samaritan with a concealed-carry permit intervened when two gunmen opened fire near him, drawing his own firearm and striking both assailants. The Good Samaritan, who was not injured in the exchange, was sitting in a nearby vehicle when the two assailants opened fire at an unknown fourth party, who was injured but survived.
June 14, Winston, Missouri: Several civilians, one of whom was legally carrying a firearm, came to the defense of a wounded female police officer after the restrained inmate she was transporting seized her service weapon, shot her, and commandeered the vehicle.
The civilians witnessed the attack and followed the police vehicle until it came to a stop, where the armed civilian held the inmate at gunpoint while the other men pulled him out of the car. One witness later recounted, "If the Good Samaritan hadn't threatened to use deadly force, the situation could have ended very differently [for the police officer]."
June 15, Highland Home, Alabama: A woman's boyfriend came to her defense by shooting an attacker who stabbed her. The woman required almost 100 stitches because of the stabbing, but survived. Her boyfriend was unharmed.
June 18, Detroit: A father was spending quality time with his family outside when he heard noises coming from his home. When he went inside, he was confronted by a man with a shotgun. Fortunately, the father was armed with his own gun and was able to fatally shoot the intruder before anyone else was harmed.
June 19, Warren, Michigan: A man's stepmother, who was armed and had a concealed-carry permit, came to his defense after he fled from four masked men who attempted to rob him. The stepmother fired a warning shot, causing the assailants to return fire before quickly driving away. All four would-be robbers were later arrested.

June 25, Harris County, Texas: An intruder's plan to burglarize a home was foiled when the homeowner fatally shot him. The homeowner was cleaning her house when she heard someone smash through her back window. She grabbed her firearm and at first attempted to hide from the burglar in a bedroom closet. When the burglar opened the closet, the woman ended the invasion with a single shot—fortunately, before the burglar could use his own firearm against her.
June 27, North Port, Florida: A woman's boyfriend came to her defense when a man with a loaded handgun attempted to rob her while she withdrew money from an ATM. The boyfriend shot the would-be robber, who was seriously injured, but survived. Both the robbery suspect and his alleged getaway driver were arrested and now face felony charges.
Although advocates of stricter gun control laws commonly claim that such laws are appropriate because defensive uses of firearms are rare compared with criminal uses, Americans like those cited regularly use firearms to defend the life, liberty, and property of themselves, their families, and even complete strangers.
Often, as evidenced above, they do so against criminals who remain quite capable of accessing firearms themselves, despite laws prohibiting it.
America's tens of millions of law-abiding gun owners—everyday men and women, who just want to go about their lives in peace—are not better protected by laws that impose substantial burdens on their abilities to defend themselves against the criminals who don't (and never will) abide by those laws in the first place.
They are better protected when we recognize that well-armed, law-abiding citizens are the first—and sometimes the only—meaningful line of defense for their own inalienable rights.

Meet Your Future FEMA Camp- Meet Your Future Home (video)


Your days of just "eyeballing it" might soon be over. Not that anyone's crying over your stupidly strong margaritas.
Enter the MixStik, a high tech swizzle stick that uses LED lights and motion sensors to guide you through cocktail recipes, so you can get them just right for once. As reported by Mashable, the 10-inch device was on display at a consumer electronics sideshow in Berlin and is expected to soon land on Kickstarter for $39, which is probably more than what you paid for your cocktail shaker.
The MixStik works by pairing with your phone via Bluetooth and a mobile drink recipe app, where you can select the cocktail you'd like to make, according to the report. Once you've picked your poison, the MixStik will show you exactly how much of each ingredient to pour into your glass by using LED lights with each ingredient appearing as a different color. The thing will even help you measure the width, height, and top of your glass so that the app knows how much liquid it can hold and adjust recipes accordingly. It might as well just make the damn drink for you.
However, you'll have to be careful not to use the MixStik upside down, as the area housing the device's USB port isn't waterproof, or uh, booze-proof. The makers hope to start shipping the futuristic bar tools next spring, according to the report. You can just keep practicing your eyeballing skills until then.

Gran (Gran-Czapiewski, Czapiewski odmienny) – kaszubski herb szlachecki, według Przemysława Pragerta odmiana herbu Czapiewski.

Opis herbu
Opis z wykorzystaniem zasad blazonowania, zaproponowanych przez Alfreda Znamierowskiego:

W polu błękitnym lew złoty, wspięty, trzymający takiż półksiężyc z twarzą; nad nim pięć takichż gwiazd w półokrąg. Klejnotu, hełmu, korony i labrów brak.

Według Przemysława Pragerta księżyc powinien być w lewo, tak jak w herbie Czapiewski, ale opis u Żernickiego, mówi o księżycu w prawo.

Najwcześniejsze wzmianki
Wymieniany przez Emiliana Szeligę-Żernickiego (Die polnischen Stamwappen, Der polnische Adel) oraz przez Cramera (Geschichte der Lande Lauenberg und Bütow).

Rodzina Czapiewskich

Herbowni
Czapiewski (Czapienski, Czapiewsky, Czapiński). Rodzina używała też licznych przydomków: Gran (Gron, Grzona, Grzanka), Jajeczek, Prusak (Pruszak), Wnuk, Złosz, Janta, Paszk, Ranoch (Renoch), Rumel, Samek (Zamek), Stosz (Wstosz), Ukleja, Wojan (Wojen), Żłop, Żuroch.

Ten konkretny herb miał wedle Żernickiego przysługiwać rodzinie o przydomku Gran. Tej samej rodzinie Żernicki przypisywał także Drzewicę. Natomiast według polskich autorów, rodzina ta używała herbu Jastrzębiec (Borkowski, Boniecki).

Nieznany Czapiewski posłużył się pieczęcią z herbem Czapiewski. Jantowie używali herbu Janta vel Białk (Żernicki). Pruszakowie i Żurochowie mieli używać herbu Leliwa, bądź jej odmiany (Czapiewski II). Pruszakom przypisywano też herb Pielesz. Zachowały się odciski pieczęci z herbami Wnuk-Czapiewskich i Złoszcz-Czapiewskich. Ci ostatni mieli, razem z Żłop-Czapiewskimi, posługiwać się Brochwiczem III, albo Ostoją. Żurochom przypisywano też herb Sas i Czapiewski III. Ponadto, Czapiewscy z poznańskiego, nie wiadomo czy spokrewnieni z kaszubskimi, używali Pomiana.
