Retail buyers will find all of the products and information they need to tap into the growing natural products trend in The Natural Pet section of the Global Pet Expo show floor.
By Melissa Breau
The natural pet products movement began as a niche trend. People were looking for healthier and safer options for themselves and their children; and as humanization swept in, that carried over into what shoppers wanted for their pets, as well. But what started out as a trend has evolved into a mainstay of the pet industry.
"Natural is not a trend anymore," says Oscar Tenorio, product line manager of Purelife 4Pets by Vetimed, Inc. (booth 3912), an all-natural line of pet supplements. "It has become a lifestyle.
"We have seen this go from the pet food industry all the way to poop bags, where now companies are using recyclable or biodegradable materials."
So, it is no surprise that The Natural Pet Section of Global Pet Expo is consistently one of the most popular sections of the show floor, drawing industry experts, the media and retail buyers alike. Nor is it surprising that this year, The Natural Pet section is larger than it has ever been.
That's good for both manufacturers and buyers, according to Jill Taft, founder of Logic Products (booth 4250) which manufacturers the Barklogic line of natural grooming products. For buyers, she says, "Global is such a big show, and there are so many different categories that it can be overwhelming for them to try to locate products that are relevant to their needs. Having a natural section really cuts down on the amount of time and work a potential buyer has to spend trying to find products that are relevant to their store."
The advantage for manufacturers, on the other hand, is a chance to reach interested buyers who may not be aware of their products. "A buyer who's looking for a natural pet shampoo may not necessarily think that they want a natural pet toy," Taft explains.
But when these buyers come across a booth with natural pet toys, she says, they think, "Wow, there's a whole bunch of natural products out here that I never thought of, so let's explore all of the categories within the natural space."
Naturally Delicious
There may be many different types of products that make it into the natural category, but edibles—food, treats and supplements—are still, by far, the largest segment of the industry. "The demand for natural products is a driving force behind the growth of the treat category and one that consumers are placing a greater emphasis on each year," says Chris Meiering, director of innovation at Zuke's (booth 4127).
Zuke's offers natural treats and will be debuting a new line of natural and nutritious low-calorie treats called Skinny Bake 5's at the show.
Zuke's new treats represent just one of the many trends that are popular within the natural treat and food category today. In addition to health-conscious and weight-conscious edibles, demand for alternative protein sources, simple ingredient lists, clear ingredient sourcing, and cleaner manufacturing processes all continue to grow as well.
"Alternative proteins have become a hot trend recently among pet parents with dogs that are sensitive to certain proteins, but also [with] those who are in search of ways to keep treat time more enjoyable and varied," says Meiering. So, retailers should have options that don't include meat proteins at all. "These vegetable-based recipes are popular for consumers whose pets have allergies, are on raw diets or just want more veggies in their pet's diet."
"Recent growth in healthy alternative pet foods has been explosive," agrees Ward Johnson, owner of Sojo's (booth 4359), which makes the freeze-dried Sojos Complete diet, in addition to several other alternative food and treat options. "Obviously, kibble still owns the dominant market share because of its convenience. But now that more and more pet parents are discovering that fresh, raw food can be convenient, too—there's no question. Alternative foods will keep growing by leaps and bounds."
"Alternative foods and treats such as raw frozen, raw, freeze dried, dehydrated or baked products have been growing very rapidly in the last few years," says Olivier Amice, president of Whitebridge Pet Brands LLC (booth 3901), whose family of products includes Cloud Star, and Tiki Cat, Tiki Dog, Gourmet Carnivore.
However, the growth of alternative foods and treats may be about more than just the ingredients themselves. "For many years 'natural' was primarily an ingredient concept," Amice explains. "The rationale was if we use 'good' ingredients, we will make good products. Now, we understand that the manufacturing process is as important as the quality of the ingredients to measure the quality of natural products."
"Maintaining a standard throughout your chain is critical," agrees Tenorio. That, he says, includes knowing how to formulate a product and where to source quality ingredients.
In the case of raw food, manufacturing might mean not cooking food at all and may be refined simply to formulation; but more generally, an interest in manufacturing processes means that options other than extruded kibble are increasingly being cast into the spotlight.
In addition to alternative proteins and new interest in how edibles are handled before making it to the shelf, Amice adds that products, "free of this or that" will likely continue to be key drivers as well.
Dan Schmitz, national sales manager at Tuffy's Pet Foods (booth 4027), agrees that alternative proteins are becoming more popular, but he gets a bit more specific about what shoppers are hoping not to find in their pets foods these days. Grain- and gluten-free products are a growing trend he says.
In fact, many experts point to alternative proteins and grain- and gluten-free products as the trends to watch for the year ahead. "We expect a continuing shift to grain-free—and a greater demand for exotic proteins," says Johnson. Sojos is launching Sojos Wild, a new ultra-premium grain-free, raw, shelf-stable line, at the show, capitalizing on almost all the current trends at once.
Eventually, however, Johnson expects the trend to take the next, natural step. "I expect buyers to start looking beyond the absence of grains—to the base ingredients used, instead," he says. "For example, some brands substitute relatively benign base ingredients, like rice, white potato or tapioca. I expect a growing demand for ultra-healthy alternatives—like sweet potato, peas or garbanzo beans."
Johnson says that is why Sojos Wild is made with purple sweet potato, parsnips, green peas and green beans, with exotic meats as the No. 1 ingredient.
Schmitz points out another important—but often overlooked—trend: the importance of high-impact packaging. "Packaging is always something that is important for manufacturers to introduce at Global, and I fully expect this again," he says. Tuffy's will be introducing a 40-pound bonus bag of its NutriSource Chicken & Rice product, as well as a new chicken-based diet with a smaller kibble for smaller dogs.
Nulo Pet Food (booth 4120) will also be introducing new package sizes for its grain-free kibble product line, Nulo FreeStyle, at the show, says Steve Portch, vice president of sales.
What It Means to Be Natural
While those trends are mostly specific to natural edible products, some of them run parallel to trends within the natural category as a whole, including materials sourcing, manufacturing processes and health consciousness. Ultimately, that is what natural tends to mean for most shoppers—good for their pets.
When asked, no two manufacturers offer up exactly the same definition of the word "natural."
"Package labeling can be deceiving," says Paula Savarese, president of Dogs Love Kale (booth 4457), which offers all-natural gluten-free dog treats made with kale.
Even "all natural" doesn't always mean healthy, and labels like organic and premium are often used to imply healthy, but aren't actually any more specific, she explains. "Made in the USA does not [even] necessarily mean that the ingredients actually originated in the U.S.," she says.
It is important that retailers determine what these terms will mean for their store, and then vet products carefully based on that standard. "Choose wisely for your customers," advises Savarese.
"The products and brands offered by retailers play an important role in defining and differentiating them from their competitors," agrees Johnson. "I think that's particularly true in pet specialty—where choosing manufacturers who are 100 percent committed to natural products has helped independent retailers successfully compete with the big boxes."
This often means reading ingredient list and talking to manufacturers in depth about how they create their products—a task that would be insurmountable without The Natural Pet section of the floor. "Having a separate 'natural' section on the trade show floor helps those independent store buyers quickly find, compare and select the kind of brand partners they're looking for," says Johnson.
So, even though breaking the floor down into sections doesn't eliminate the need to do additional research, it at least reduces the amount of time buyers must look specifically for natural products before they can even begin those important conversations.
"Breaking the show floor into sections allows the retailers to make better use of their time," says Portch.
That is a trend everyone can get behind.

Rangers to build 12ft fence around training ground to stop leaks
Rangers are to build a 12-foot high fence around their training ground to prevent prying eyes from seeing Steven Gerrard's tactics and team selections.
By STEPHEN HALLIDAY

The club's Hummel Training Centre is undergoing major reconstruction work which also see a stand being built on one of the pitches to house spectators for reserve fixtures.
A covered dome will provide an indoor training option for youth players and the fence will installed to afford the squad some privacy and prevent leaks.
"My starting eleven was leaked five times in my early days here because people could see us train and this is a place where people can't hold their water!," Rangers manager Gerrard said.
"It's a private training ground but a lot of the people who work here are Rangers fans, so are their mates and they all want to know my team, my style and my tactics. The same thing happened at Liverpool, probably at every club, but when we work tactically I want it to be private and for the team to stay in-house.
"So the fence will be there and I will then know where it's coming from if the team gets out. When I came here, you could see the training ground was a sensational environment in its day but because of what's gone on at the club in recent years, it had become tired and dated.
"It's important to create that elite environment so we have identified the key areas to improve – the dressing rooms, the gym, the canteen. We need a Desso training pitch, we have introduced a cryochamber for recovery.
"We are putting a dome over one of the pitches so I don't look out of the window and see the young kids out training in temperatures of minus two. We're putting in a stand for reserve games and improving the floodlighting.
"We are putting in more spaces for cars as some people were having to park down towards Possil when they visited. We need to get the club up to speed and evolve off the pitch, as well as improving on the pitch, and that's what we are doing."

CFOs feel financial modeling needs improvement
Life Health > Life Insurance
by Michael K. Stanley
February 06, 2013 at 08:07 AM Share & Print
Sixty-five percent of Chief financial officers (CFOs) from large to midsize life insurance companies feel that their financial modeling results could use improvement.
The finding comes on the heels of a Towers Watson survey that examined varying aspects of financial modeling for life insurers.
The survey, part of Towers Watson's Life Insurance CFO program, which strives to provide applicable research on trends and issues that are of importance to the North American Life insurance industry, focused on the effectiveness of financial modeling in terms of model governance and business priorities as well as the actual manner in which life insurers utilize financial modeling.
Financial modeling, in some crude form has been used for ages, from abstract hypothesis to the clear-cut contours of quantitative finance applications. With so many CFOs reporting that their financial modeling practices could use improvement, could there be a need for financial models of financial models?
What Your Peers Are Reading
It should be noted, that when dealing with anticipated variables and hypotheses, complete accuracy, by its nature, will always be elusive.
Timeliness appeared to be one of the main issues — only 13 percent said that they were extremely satisfied with the timeliness of their models results while 17 percent reported that they were not at all satisfied. Ninety-one percent of CFOs surveyed reported that they were uneasy with the amount of time required to interpret model results before their teams could actually begin implementing the information yielded by the models.

"Our survey revealed that despite advances made in financial modeling at many life insurance companies, there are ever increasing demands placed on companies by their stakeholders to improve the speed and usefulness of their financial models," said Cheryl Tibbits, director and life insurance consultant at Towers Watson.
CFOs surveyed reported that the most work needed to be done on long-term care and life reinsurance models with more than half of the respondents saying that they are not at all satisfied with their long-term care modeling and 36 percent saying that their life reinsurance models needed work.
When asked to chose the top three obstacles they faced in extracting needed information from their financial models more than two-thirds named managing competing priorities while 44 percent responded that run-time requirements were the biggest challenge and 39 percent answered model features and functionality. All of the respondents said that their first priority would be run-time requirements.
The survey reported that CFOs have mixed feelings about how they regulate the results of their financial models in order to mitigate against the risk of them adversely informing management decisions. Fifty-two percent of respondents said that model governance process in their organization is somewhat developed while 22 percent said that it was very developed. Contrary to the findings, 65 percent said that they were going to make changes to the governing process of models this year with only 26 percent stating that they would be making no changes at all.
Only 13 percent reported using an outside vendor for their modeling with many life insurance companies relying on an in-house team.
The survey also examined CFOs attitudes towards the actual features and tools employed by financial models and found that 66 percent had confidence in the value of the tools, saying that they would "extract full value" from them.

The Investigation Is Over – We Finally Know Who Bit Beyoncé
Source: WMagazine.com
After a week of social media users scrambling to find out who bit Beyoncé on the face at a party in LA one night, it looks like the case may finally be closed. Tiffany Haddish revealed in an interview with GQ Magazine that an unidentified woman came up to Jay and Bey and after the singer told her to back off her man, the woman playfully bit her on the face.
In a report from Page Six, sources who spoke with the publication stated it was Sanaa Lathan after-all. So, unfortunately for Sanaa, she's now the infamous biter.
The New York Post alleges it was Sanaa who bit Beyonce after Jay's show in Los Angeles back in December, despite her protests to the contrary.
Good morning NYC ❤
A post shared by Sanaa Lathan (@sanaalathan) on Mar 29, 2018 at 7:03am PDT
As you may know, Tiffany Haddish took some heat for talking about Beyonce in the press, with many of her fans asking why she would even talk about the incident. One fan wrote, "why are you even talking about Beyonce in the media. It's not a good look."
The Girls Trip star said it wasn't a big deal because she wasn't talking bad about her, Tiffany just wanted to tell the story.
Haddish supposedly even signed a non-disclosure agreement to avoid the information getting out to the public. Fans will remember when Tiffany posted a picture of herself with Beyonce on Instagram where the singer partially hid her face.
The photo was taken to calm Haddish, who said she was about to beat up the woman who bit Beyonce. In the interview with GQ, Haddish said the unidentified woman was "doing the mostest."
Another insider shared, "it wasn't a big problem at the party, but it was pretty weird, and everyone was talking about it. I think the whole issue has been sensationalized a little bit, but it's still fun for everyone to talk about regardless."

Excessive flooding and sedimentation threaten both ecosystems and human populations. In the Tijuana-San Diego region, the Tijuana Estuary in the United States suffers from "excessive sedimentation", gully erosion has been identified as one of the major sediment sources. However, mapping and modeling gully erosion in urban areas is challenging due to microtopographic complexity that alters water flow paths, and difficulties in parameter identification. In this study, we calibrated a model (AnnAGNPS) of an ephemeral gully network that formed following a storm event in a rapidly urbanizing watershed (0.2 km2) in Tijuana, Mexico, using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and Structure-from-Motion (SfM) to generate a high-resolution Digital Elevation Model (DEM) for flow routing and to measure gully erosion. Latin hypercube sampling was performed to create different parameter ensembles to assess model equifinality and to constrain parameter values. Gullies were formed almost exclusively on unpaved roads characterized by erodible soils and concentrated flow. Simulated results using the AnnAGNPS model were close to observed gully erosion rates (RMSE=2.1mm, 64%). The SCS curve number, operation tillage depth (Td) and critical shear stress (τc) were the most sensitive parameters in gully erosion modeling. Changes in parameters involved in runoff generation (SCS curve number, Manning's n) were compensated by changes in parameters describing soil properties (Td, τc), resulting in uncertainty in the final parameter values. Four combinations of the model parameters to provide suitable results (behavioral models) were identified and used to evaluate the impact of paving the roads. The τc in the behavioral models was smaller than the τc measured using a jet-test, suggesting that areas of very low τc, that were not sampled by the jet test, are contributing to gully formation. Modelling exercises showed that the impact of paving the roads were (+400 to +1200%) on total runoff, (+600 to +2100%) peak discharge, and (-73 to -85%) sediment load reduction among the four behavioral models. The methodology described in this paper can be used in other watersheds to simulate runoff and gully erosion, and to quantify the uncertainty of model-estimated impacts of management activities on runoff and erosion in topographically complex urban environments.
Modelling gully erosion in urban areas is challenging due to difficulties with equifinality and parameter identification, which complicates quantification 0of management impacts on runoff and sediment production. We calibrated a model (AnnAGNPS) of an ephemeral gully network that formed on unpaved roads following a storm event in an urban watershed (0.2 km2) in Tijuana, Mexico. Latin hypercube sampling was used to create 500 parameter ensembles. Modelled sediment load was most sensitive to the Soil Conservation Service (SCS) curve number, tillage depth (TD), and critical shear stress (τc). Twenty-one parameter ensembles gave acceptable error (behavioural models), though changes in parameters governing runoff generation (SCS curve number, Manning's n) were compensated by changes in parameters describing soil properties (TD, τc), resulting in uncertainty in the optimal parameter values. The most suitable parameter combinations or "behavioural models" were used to evaluate uncertainty under management scenarios. Paving the roads increased runoff by 146–227%, increased peak discharge by 178–575%, and decreased sediment load by 90–94% depending on the ensemble. The method can be used in other watersheds to simulate runoff and gully erosion, to quantify the uncertainty of model-estimated impacts of management activities on runoff and erosion, and to suggest critical field measurements to reduce uncertainties in complex urban environments.


The DAS-3224/3248 IP DSLAMs are advanced CO devices with the capability to interface directly with evolving IP networks in a cost effective manner. The Gigabit Ethernet (GE) Network uplink interfaces on these IP DSLAMs directly connect to an Internet router or LAN switch.
These IP-based DSLAMs can be used by service providers to offer broadband multi-service features on the last mile access network via a copper based local loop. They offer ADSL, ADSL2, and ADSL2+ interfaces and deliver advanced IP services that include QoS, multicast, and subscriber management. These service features eliminate congestion of the bandwidth available to users to deliver smooth, easy and efficient passage of video, voice and data packets across the networks. This is know as "Triple Play" and allows for the provisioning of bandwidth-intensive and lesser bandwidth-intensive services at the same time. The DAS-3224/3248 series also supports network uplink aggregation, enabling the operator to combine both of the GE uplink interfaces into a single logical interface and thus extending the transmission bandwidth. Daisy Chaining is an another option, when implemented all units share a single GE uplink. Furthermore, Service Demarcation provides a way to separate traffic by assigning different VLAN IDs.
With the DAS-3224/3248 series, Relay Agent Information (DHCP Option 82) can be used by servers in order to implement IP address or other parameter assignment policies. The DAS-3224/3248 series offers MAC Limiting and MAC Filtering through its MAC Layer Service. The series also uses Single End Loop Testing (SELT) for proactive loop pre-qualification. Line quality is continuously verified while line length, line capacity and line termination are measured. Dual End Loop Testing (DELT) is primarily used for reactive tests on a loop after a modem has been deployed. This feature renders troubleshooting on lines with bad performance possible. Operation Management and Maintenance (OAM) is implemented for supervision, testing and performance monitoring. OAM loop-back cells are used to verify the integrity of a virtual path or virtual circuit between different nodes in an ATM network.
The DAS-3224/3248 series comes with a GUI management software. This software provides webmanagement features including real-time status monitoring. The IP DSLAMs also support Network Management System monitoring and administration tasks.
For Quality of Service, the DAS-3224 and DAS-3248 support IEEE 802.1p with 8 priority queues and DiffServ, a networking architecture that defines a simple, scalable and coarse-grained mechanism for classifying and managing network traffic. DiffServ is used to provide low-latency, guaranteed service (GS) such as voice or video, while providing best-effort traffic guarantees to non-critical services including web traffic or file transfers. Pack classification is based on MAC/IP addresses and TCP/UDP port numbers.
The DAS-3224/3248 IP DSLAMs are enclosed in 1.2U sized metal cases and can be used as desktop units or mounted on a standard equipment rack. They can be fitted in 19-inch and 23-inch racks using the optional rack mount-kit.
The DAS-3224 IP DSLAM comes with 24 ADSL subscriber ports and 2 combo interfaces (10/100/1000 Base-T or mini-GBIC optical interface). The DAS-3248 IP DSLAM comes with 48 ADSL subscriber ports and 2 combo interfaces.
Using any of the uplink types, it is possible to stack these IP DSLAM units and aggregate multiple units over a common network connection.
The rich features of the DAS-3224/3248 IP DSLAMs make them most economical and suitable solution for next generation broadband access platforms.

However, since January 2016, we measure a negative trend for the Oracle RDBMS, while we see a popularity gain in the same period for MySQL (the leading open source DBMS) and it seems to be only a question of time, when MySQL will pass Oracle and become the leader in the DB-Engines ranking. That comes despite the fact, that also MySQL's popularity decreased during the last quarter, allowing Microsoft SQL Server (the number 3 of the ranking) to reduce the gap to both Oracle-owned systems.
The above diagram shows the gains/drops for Oracle and MySQL for each month since January 2016. We see that in these 17 months Oracle could improve its popularity score in only 2 months (decreasing in 15) and MySQL exhibits a rather inconclusive trend (8 gains vs 9 drops). It is interesting to note, that 11 months show Oracle and MySQL having an opposite trend - one system winning, the other losing. This statistical peculiarity could lead to the a bit farfetched conclusion that Oracle and MySQL are somehow cannibalizing each others popularity.
Given that you have a simple table with 2 columns, a timestamp and a score, how would you write a SQL statement to calculate the differences of the score between consecutive timestamps, as required for the diagram above? A fixed interval of the timestamps should not be assumed.
The not very familiar SQL window functions, introduced with standard ANSI/ISO SQL 2003 and 2008 (ANSI/ISO SQL documention) are extremely helpful for that type of queries. In MySQL, which does not support these functions, you need to code a workaround.


Substance abuse is the excessive use of a substance such as alcohol or a drug. While substance abuse is unhealthy and risky, it is not a mental illness in and of itself.
However, when a person's ongoing abuse of alcohol, drugs or tobacco causes health problems, disability or inability to successfully manage obligations at home, work or school, they may have a substance use disorder, which is a mental health condition that can be mild, moderate or severe. People who have a substance use disorder also exhibit impaired judgment, lack of self-control, risky behavior and difficulty with social interaction.
Diagnosing substance use disorder also requires a thorough physical and psychological evaluation.
The goal of these programs is to help patients regain their sobriety in a manner that emphasizes that they are struggling with a mental illness and that treats them and their loved ones with dignity and respect. With determination and focus, abstinence is achievable.
For people who need but are unwilling to seek substance use disorder treatment, Casey's Law provides a way for concerned friends and family members to assist their loved one in getting the help they need. Learn more about Casey's Law in Kentucky.


They saw The Head Ball Coach, a.k.a Steve Spurrier bring his "fun and gun offense", that excited Florida Gators fans for years to Orlando as his Apollos flew past the Atlanta Legends 40-6. The NFL Network has agreed to broadcast 19 games throughout the entire season, while CBS will air one AAF game per week.
Unlike the National Football League, there are no kickoffs in the AAF as teams will start at their own 25-yard line after scores and at the beginning of each half.
There isn't really a team close to Indianapolis.
The Apollos quarterback Garrett Gilbert led the home team to a pair of touchdowns on two of the team's first three drives.
It was clear that Kendall was hesitant to say much, and she couldn't stop bashfully giggling as Ellen probed the subject. Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott went all out to ensure their bundle of joy's bash was the best on Saturday, February 9.
"I think the fans had a good time", he said after the contest. "Time will tell if we're any good".
Salt Lake Stallions at Arizona Hotshots8 p.m. ET on NFL Network - Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe, Ariz. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame as a player in 1986 and in 2017 as a coach. The most telling part is the country loves football, in any format, and the AAF gave football fans an outlet to quench their endless football appetite. With week one in the books, things are actually looking pretty good. Almost 21,000 people showed up and saw the Apollos beat the Atlanta Legends, 40-6, with Spurrier, 73, coaching for the first time since 2015. He later played professionally for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 1976. Steve Spurrier has 26 years overall of coaching experience, and he holds a record for 11 victories in bowl games. Of course, that doesn't mean they've played in NFL regular-season games; but they at least have worn an NFL helmet and participated in NFL practices and, for many of them, at least played in preseason games.

The trouble is now, with rock'n'roll and stuff, it gets so big that it loses what once upon a time was a magnificent thing, where it was special and quite elusive and occasionally a little sinister and it had its own world nobody could get in.
Lately, I'm spending more and more time working with non-rock musicians and leaving the mainstream - almost dissolving into another world, musically.
People have got to let their bodies breathe a little bit more. That's the great thing about being a pompous, jumped-up rock god. There's plenty of air around you.
The way I see it, rock n' roll is folk music.
Back in my day, we called it rock 'n' roll, but then we always reminded listeners that it was no big deal if they didn't like it.
I hate cliché. And when you're a rock singer in 1966, or whatever it was, psychedelic blues, through to the '70s, which we know all about, and the '80s, which was a scramble to hang on in, and the '90s, which was a great time for experimentation... and I'm really still excited. The huge vast diagonals within the music that I've been involved with.
I'd like to write a big rock anthem again. I just need to listen to Korn, and then I might get the idea of how to do it.
The essence of my lyrics is the desire for peace and harmony. That's all anyone has ever wanted. How could it become outdated?...We are trying to communicate a fulfilled ideal...I am a reflection of what I sing. Sometimes I have to get serious because the things I've been through are serious...The way I see it, rock n' roll is folk music.

Justice Studies Degrees: Bachelor's, Associate & Online...
Justice Studies Degrees: Bachelor's, Associate & Online Class Info
Associate's and bachelor's degree programs in justice studies can lead to careers in law enforcement and the court system. Get the truth about the requirements, courses and online options, and find out what you can do with your degree.
Study Justice Studies: Degrees at a Glance
Degree programs in justice studies are interdisciplinary, combining concepts of various related fields, such as judicial studies, legal studies, criminal justice and sociology. You may also find schools that lump all related degree programs into a group under the justice studies title. Programs can prepare you for multiple positions in the legal system, including law enforcement, corrections or courtroom positions.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported that, from 2010-2020, police officers and detectives may see a seven percent increase in employment, which is below the national average. For the same time period, the BLS stated that paralegals and legal assistants as well as probation officers and correctional treatment specialists were expected to see an 18% increase in employment, which is about average.
Who is this degree for? Individuals interested in various entry-level positions within the criminal, legal or social fields Individuals interested in advancing their current careers in the field, wanting to obtain federal-level positions or preparing for graduate level study
Common Career Paths (with approximate mean salary) - Police officer or detective ($56,000)*
- Paralegal or legal assistant ($50,000)* - Federal agent ($52,000)*
- Probation officer or correctional treatment specialist ($52,000)*
Time to Completion Two years Four years
Prerequisites High school diploma High school diploma
Online Availability Yes Yes
Associate's Degree in Justice Studies
Associate's degree programs in justice studies allow you to study various fundamental topics, including social issues, law interpretation, criminal law procedures and the judicial system. After completing an associate's degree program, you may qualify for entry-level positions in law enforcement, the court system or corrections. Additionally, legal studies programs are sometimes classified within justice studies programs, and completion of a 2-year legal studies program prepares you for work as a paralegal.
You may qualify for a wide variety of professional opportunities after only two years
You may be able to transfer your credits to a bachelor's degree program in the field
Advancement as a police officer does not typically require any education beyond the associate's degree level
Programs typically provide a limited amount of practical training
Police officers commonly work odd hours, holidays and weekends
Job growth for police and detectives is expected to be slower-than-average from 2010-2020*
Source: *U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
Common Course Topics
Associate's degree programs commonly include a substantial amount of general education coursework in areas like mathematics, English and the natural sciences. These courses can help you transfer to a 4-year program. Additionally, a justice studies associate's degree program may include useful, related coursework like public speaking. Other common courses may include:
Judicial studies
Correctional systems
Criminal justice fundamentals
Online Degree Options
Online degree programs in justice studies and related fields are available and can offer you the same opportunities as an on-campus degree program. Since the graduation requirements for justice studies associate's programs are grounded in coursework, they're easily transmitted into an online format and offer comparable curricula.
Stand Out with This Degree
Work experience is beneficial regardless of the justice-related career you're pursuing. You may consider completing some hands-on experience during your associate's degree program, such as an internship or volunteer opportunity, to build your resume and prove to future employers that you're capable of performing the job.
Alternative Degrees
As technology advances, you may want to consider earning an associate's degree in a field such as cyber crime or computer forensics. In these programs, courses may cover criminal justice fundamentals as well as technology crimes and laws. You may also learn to pinpoint computer system vulnerabilities and prevent computer security breaches. You may qualify for a career in cyber security, a field that the BLS reported as having positive growth prospects from 2004-2014.
Bachelor's Degree in Justice Studies
A bachelor's degree program in justice studies can help qualify you for more advanced positions in the field, such as federal agent or probation officer. Additionally, you may be able to select concentrations in some justice studies bachelor's programs, such as criminal justice, homeland security or legal studies. You can also prepare for graduate programs in the field by earning your bachelor's degree in justice studies.
May qualify for positions at the federal level
You'll have the opportunity to study more advanced justice studies subjects, preparing you for graduate school
Online options are commonly available
For some positions (such as police officer) you'll be in competition with individuals who may have less education, but more experience
Positions requiring a bachelor's degree may not offer better pay than those requiring an associate's degree or less*
Advancement in the field of law enforcement is typically based on experience rather than education
As in an associate's program, justice studies bachelor's programs often cover multiple related topics, such as social behavior, laws and criminal justice. Coursework makes up the bulk of the curriculum, but you may also learn some research methods and complete a capstone research project. Programs not offering concentration options commonly allow you to customize your curriculum through elective courses. Justice studies courses may cover topics including:
Criminal justice research
Online Options
Online bachelor's degree programs in justice studies are available and offered at both private and public institutions. The curriculum in an online justice studies program is equivalent to its on-campus counterpart. You may participate in online discussions, view video lectures and submit assignments online.
Internships may not be required in your justice studies bachelor's programs, but they may be offered as an elective, which you can earn credit for. Gaining this real-world training can give you an edge over competitors and allow you to make connections in the professional world. Additionally, the BLS noted that learning a foreign language is commonly beneficial to federal agents, so taking foreign language classes while in college could be useful if this is your intended career path.
If you would like to earn a degree that may keep you in demand in the criminal law field, consider earning a degree in forensic science. In this bachelor's program, you learn scientific principles and technologies that help you solve criminal cases. Completion of this program may qualify you to become a crime scene investigator or forensic science technician. According to 2010-2020 BLS outlook predictions, these professionals could see a 19% increase in employment. However, this is a popular and competitive field, and having a bachelor's degree and/or substantial experience can help you rise above the competition.

Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) is caused by mutations in the MEFV gene. Mutations in the MEFV gene result in an inappropriate or prolonged inflammatory response, leading to fever and pain.
FMF is almost always inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern. Mutations in exons 2, 3 and 10 of the MEFV gene account for 70-90% of FMF disease-causing variants. FMF primarily affects populations originating in the Mediterranean region (particularly people of Armenian, Arab, Turkish, or Jewish ancestry) and is uncommon in other populations. This test result has diagnostic implications.
In an affected person, the identification of one mutation in the MEFV gene is suggestive of a diagnosis of FMF. The identification of two mutations is diagnostic. The absence of mutations makes it unlikely that the patient has FMF.
Analysis exons 2 and 10 of the MEFV gene. Sequencing of other exons of the MEFV gene can be arranged on request.

Bakers Who Refused to Make Gay Cake Found Guilty of Discrimination
January 1, 2018 InfoWars GEG Commentary 4
Oregon's Court of Appeals found that Melissa and Aaron Klein, owners of 'Sweet Cakes by Melissa', were guilty of illegally discriminating against a same-sex couple in 2013 when, for religious reasons, they refused to bake a wedding cake for a lesbian couple. The bakers had to pay a $135K fine for 'emotional damage' and lost their business. The Christian couple's attorneys argued in favor of the First Amendment in refusing to make the cake, while the lesbian couple argued that all people should be treated equally under the law. A similar case from Colorado will be tried by the Supreme Court in June. [What part of the Constitution or logic says that a free people should be forced against their will to perform services for anyone who demands it? Forget 'religious reasons" and forget 'freedom of speech". If you do not like my face, or body odor, or life style, or vulgar language or anything else, why should you be compelled by law to associate with me and serve my demands? This is not the proper function of the state. See The Creed of Freedom.] -GEG
An Oregon court upheld a January decision forcing two Christian bakery owners to pay a $135,000 fine for refusing to bake a lesbian wedding cake.
On Thursday, the state's Court of Appeals found Sweet Cakes by Melissa owners Melissa and Aaron Klein illegally discriminated against a same-sex couple in February 2013.
The Kleins had cited religious objections for not wanting to bake the cake, but the court ruled the refusal was in violation of an Oregon law which restricts businesses from discriminating based on sexual orientation.
The bake shop, located in Gresham, was forced to close under intense criticism, but donations allowed the couple to operate the business out of their home up until October 2016.
"We lost everything we loved and worked so hard to build," Melissa Klein told KATU. "I loved my shop. It meant everything to me and losing it has been so hard for me and my family."
Lawyers defending the Kleins argued in March the court was violating the bakers' First Amendment-protected free speech rights.
"We believe that freedom of expression for ourselves means freedom of expression for others," an attorney for the First Liberty Institute said. "And what's unfortunate here is that a family and their business has been punished because of their religious beliefs. And that's not America. That's just flat out wrong."
The lesbian couple, Rachel Bowman-Cryer and her partner Laurel, were pleased with the court's decision.
"All of us are equal under the law and should be treated equally. Oregon will not allow a 'Straight Couples Only' sign to be hung in bakeries or other stores," they said in a statement.

Ten Days at Jekyll Island, a novel by Patrea Patrick, tells the true story of a secret meeting held in November of 1910 on a privately owned resort island, the outcome of which drastically changed the world. It was at this meeting that a banking cartel was forged; a cartel that, three years later, would be issued a government charter to do business as The United States Federal Reserve System. You will discover why secrecy was essential. Based on historical documentation from The Creature from Jekyll Island by G. Edward Griffin. (More)

Baker Who Was Targeted by Colorado Civil Rights Commission for Refusing to Make A Same-Sex Wedding Cake Strikes Back in Counter Suite
August 16, 2018 Daily Caller 1
Colorado: Jack Phillips, owner of the Masterpiece Cakeshop, was targeted by the Colorado Civil Rights Commission for refusing to bake a cake for a same-sex wedding but, eventually, won his case before the Supreme Court. The baker's lawsuit accuses the Commission of violating his constitutional exercise of free speech, due process, and the right to equal protection.
24 American States Have Proposed Campus 'Free Speech' Laws
March 21, 2018 ZeroHedge 0
Colleges and universities are not bound by Constitution – only the federal government is. "Congress shall pass no law" to restrict speech. Schools are not bound by that. However, most colleges and universities receive federal money, so it would be an easy thing to require that they comply with the Constitution if they want the money – but federal politicians apparently are not interested in taking that stand.

I agree with GEG. Forget about reasons. Any private business owner should be free to serve or not serve any would-be customer, period. The state is out of its jurisdiction to interfere with our right to refuse to enter into any form of a contract or business transaction with another. I should simply be able to say, "No," without any reason at all, if I wish, and that be the end of it. Get off my property! Get out of my shop!
I suppose a theory holds that when you request permission form government and are granted a permit to operate, you thereby relinquish your sovereignty and become a subject.
Here is a perfect example of Alinski teachings in action. It appears to be Communism in it's purest form. Liberal Judges have done more harm to our nation than any group of terrorists could ever dream of doing. Political appointees are killing us !

Hasselblad today announced that it is accepting submissions for the 2014 Masters Awards competition. The title of Master is awarded to one photographer in each of 12 categories in recognition of his or her contribution to the art of photography. Judging is based on photographic ability in the areas of creativity, composition, conceptual strength and technical skill.
"We've made some adjustments to the 2014 Masters Awards competition, which will allow more photographers to participate," says Paul Waterworth, Hasselblad Global Photographer Relations Manager. "Since many photographers are using both medium format and 35mm-type DSLRs, image entries may be captured with either format – as well as film," explains Waterworth, adding that DSLRs must have a minimum resolution of 16 megapixels.
Applicants are invited to submit 3 images in one or more of the following categories: Fine Art, Landscape/Nature, Wedding/Social, Portrait, Fashion/Beauty, Editorial, Products, Architecture, General, Wildlife, Project//21 and Underwater.

On October 29, 2008, plaintiffs filed a class action complaint in United States District Court for the Western District of Texas (Austin) against Dell Inc. alleging the defendant violated Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act by systematically discriminating against female employees in pay, promotions, terminations, and other terms and conditions of employment. Plaintiffs Jill Hubley and Laura Guenther sought to represent a class of "all women employed by Dell between February 1, 2003 and the present, whether based in the United States or worldwide".
Plaintiffs sought compensatory and punitive damages for the individual plaintiffs and the class they represent as well as a permanent injunction requiring Dell to adopt policies in accord with the requirements of Title VII prohibiting gender discrimination in employment.
On July 23, 2009 the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas (Austin)(Judge James R. Nowlin) gave preliminary approval to a $9.1 million settlement, and certified a settlement class of "all women employed in the United States by Dell at any time between Feb. 14, 2007, and Dec. 31, 2008, in its C1 through D3 pay grades," excluding any employee who had previously signed a release as part of earlier litigation or settlement. The monetary settlement included $1.1 million in attorney fees and set up a back pay settlement fund of $4.5 million and a pay equity settlement fund of $3.5 million to account for salary adjustments and pay equity review.
On November 11, 2009 Judge James R. Nowlin issued a final order and judgment approving the class action settlement.

Q: Cross-ratio and projective transformations Let $P=\{p_1,\ldots,p_6\}\subset\mathbb{P}^1$ be a set of six general points of the projective line. In particular there are no two different subsets $\{p_{i_1},\ldots,p_{i_4}\}$ and $\{p_{j_1},\ldots,p_{j_4}\}$ of four elements of $P$ such that the $p_{i_k}$'s and the $p_{j_k}$'s have the same cross-ratio.
Assume that there exists a projective transformation $f:\mathbb{P}^1\rightarrow\mathbb{P}^1$ such that $f(P) = P$; that is $f$ acts on $P$ by permuting the $p_i$'s.
Do we have then that $f = \operatorname{Id}_{\mathbb{P}^1}$ ?

A: As Igor points out, the cross-ratio of a subset of four distinct points is not well-defined. If you meant to stipulate that all tuples of four distinct points from $P$ should have different cross-ratios, except for the unavoidable repetitions, then the answer is yes, you can conclude that $f$ is the identity transformation:
Since $f$ is a projective linear transformation, it preserves cross-ratios. In particular, the cross-ratio of $(f(p_1), f(p_2), f(p_3), f(p_4))$ is the same as that of $(p_1, p_2, p_3, p_4)$. Thus, by the hypothesis, $f$ in fact must permute already the set consisting of the first four points, in a manner which leaves the cross-ratio unchanged. If $f$ isn't the identity, then it must permute them in two pairs. Without loss of generality (renumbering points if necessary and conjugating everything with a suitable projective linear transformation to pin down the first three points) the only possibility is swapping $p_1=\infty$ with $p_2=0$ and $p_3=1$ with some $p_4$; thus $f\colon x\mapsto p_4/x$ and (edit if $f$ moves $p_5$) $p_6=p_4/p_5$; but then the cross-ratio of $(\infty,0,1,p_5)$ would equal that of its $f$-image $(0,\infty,p_4,p_6)$, a tuple supported on a different subset of $P$.
Edit - Or else, this $f$ fixes both $p_5$ and $p_6$, which must then be two distinct square roots of $p_4$ in the field we're working with. But then the cross-ratio of $(\infty,0,1,p_5)$ would equal that of its $f$-image $(0,\infty,p_4,p_5)$; again violating the hypothesis.

A: I think the answer depends on your definition of general position. Consider four points, whose cross ratio is $y.$ Then permutations will have such diverse cross ratios as $ \frac{1}{y}, 1-y, 1-\frac{1}{y}, \frac{1}{1-y}, \frac{y}{y-1}$. Setting one of these quantities equal to $y$ will give you a finite order projective transformation reducing to a permutation on the four points. It is not too easy to conjure up two other points which are permuted by this transformation.

Bogdan Outlines Career Ambition
September 30, 2009 | By Chris Mann
Short URL: http://b-ac.es/968fb
Adam Bogdan, Crewe Alexandra
Adam Bogdan has admitted he would like to become Bolton's first choice goalkeeper in the future and hopes to make a success of his loan deal at Crewe Alexandra.
The 22-year-old Hungarian moved to Gresty Road on Monday, despite reported interest from Leeds United, and is determined to make a name for himself over the next month.
"I'm happy to join Crewe," Bogdan told Pepsifoci.hu.
"I want to be Bolton's goalkeeper and in order to reach this goal I need games for my constant development.
"It's a great thing that many teams wanted to get me, which means that I'm on the right way and it's worth training hard.
"I want to help Crewe because I'm grateful for the chance I have got from them."
Bogdan made his Crewe debut in Tuesday night's 3-2 home defeat to Bury.

You have several options for obtaining the _jsxmlRPC_ distribution:

* Download the [tarball][ghtar] from github
* Retrieve the [latest][github] from github
* Retrieve [this][script] file, which contains a single file which you need to
  include in order to use _jsxmlRPC_.

I've not really had time to make the distribution pretty. The following
files are included in the distribution:

* `README` this file

* `all_scripts.js` probably what you are looking for. The Javascript
  to include to use the library.

* `src` this directory contains all the commented javascript source
  files and rudimentary unit tests for the distribution. These files get
  processed into one large file that's stripped of comments and
  unnecessary whitespace

* `prepare.rb` the script to assemble the source files.

* `prepare_dist.rb` the script to prepare the jsRPC distribution
  tarball.

* `prepare_site.rb` scripts to set up the website. (You probably won't be needing this.)

* `dist` this is the directory that the source files are assembled into.
  it contains the file `all_scripts.js` generated by `prepare.rb`. In
  case you are repackaging the main distribution tarball, that also gets
  assembled in this directory.

* `prepare_tests.rb` prepares the unit tests from the source files.
  Since the tests also include calls to webservices (which are included)
  they currently need to be install on a server that support ruby for CGI.
  Most likely, you'll not have sufficient infrastructure, the tests are
  hosted [here][1].

* `tests` some of the required infrastructure that `prepare_tests.rb`
  uses to construct the distribution. This is a really crude attempt at
  a Javascript unit test runner. The tests are implemented as an array of
  functions at the bottom of each "raw" javascript file in the `src`
  directory. The testrunner calls each function in the array. The test
  functions in the array return either `true` or `false` to determine
  whether that test passed. Some test have an `undefined` result.

  The `prepare.rb` script removes these tests when preparing the
  `all_scripts.js` distribution file.
