Let Exit Bail Bonds be your 'Get Out Of Jail Card.' You can rely on Exit Bail Bonds, a family-oriented concern that has been serving and helping families and individuals in the community who are caught up in the legal-justice maze.
What Exit Bail Bonds do, and what to expect.
When Exit Bail Bonds writes a bail bond, it is to acquire a defendants release by supplying to the court a monetary fee. The fee, usually determined by a judge or a fee table, insures that a defendant appears in court. The bail bond exists so that a defendant has an opportunity to continue his life until a trial ends.
Usually, when a person is arrested, generally he is put in custody, be it a police station or a city, county, or state holding facility, where he is booked. The defendant or suspect is interviewed, photographed, fingerprinted, and subjected to a background check. The suspect also is tested for alcohol intoxication and use of illegal substances, which may include prescription medicines. Generally, the detainee or prisoner is allowed a phone call. This is the time to phone Exit Bail Bonds.
More than likely, a suspect will appear before a judge or magistrate the next business day after the arrest. A bail hearing determines if the suspect may be released on bail. The judge will determine how much the bond will be.
The keys to unlocking doors to detention rooms and cells with iron bars rests with Exit Bail Bonds. We offer privacy, discretion, and respect. In all its years of business, not once has Exit Bail Bonds compromised its integrity, not even for short-term gains.
Not only does Exit Bail Bonds maintain its position in the bail industry as the leader of a new school of thought and practice, Exit Bail Bonds also is discreet and cares about long-term relationships with clients and their families.
See for yourself why Exit Bail Bonds is the key to your uncertainty. The one sure way to find the truth of our honesty, integrity, and caring, is to CALL family-oriented Exit Bail Bonds right away at (305) 233-3000. Or contact us at exitbailbondsinc@gmail.com for assistance with Miami bail bonds.
Since Florida laws mandates once an accused person is jailed, he must appear before a judge within 24 hours of arrest. A judge will review the case and address the matter of the defendant's bond.
A previously set monetary bond can be revoked and a defendant will receive "no bond" status.
A monetary amount for the bond can be raised, lowered, or remain the same.
A defendant can be placed on supervised release. In this case defendants must report regularly to the Pretrial staff until the case is disposed, and can sometimes be required to comply with special court-ordered conditions such as random urinalysis, drug and alcohol evaluations.
Defendants with significant community ties, and do not pose a threat of danger or risk of flight, can be released on their own recognizance and allowed to return to court without any monetary responsibility.
An Exit Bail Bonds defendant who cannot come up with enough cash to post the entire bail, a court will accept a bail bond.
An insurance company through Exit Bail Bonds will charge a premium for posting the bond. For example, if a court requires $10,000 in bail, the insurance company may by law, charge a 10% ($1,000) premium to post the bond. The company will require a guarantor to sign for the bond, meaning this person guarantees to pay the insurance company the posted $10,000 if the accused fails to appear in court.
Miami bail bonds are regulated by the Department of Financial Services. Each and every licensed bail bond agency, including family oriented Exit Bail Bonds, charge the same fee for a bail bond. Bail Agents are strictly prohibited from charging more, or charging less for services rendered. Limited Surety Agents or Bail Agents are not cops and they do not work for the State. Their function is similar to Insurance Agents by providing a service to the public so that a family, friend, or loved one can be released from jail on an Exit Bail Bonds bond..
A bail bond (or surety bail bond) is a security posted by the defendant (accused) in order to ensure the accused will appear in court. Bail can be posted in cash or an Exit Bail Bonds bond.
Once a person is busted for a crime, the jail or Magistrate can impose a bail amount to be paid before the person can be released from custody. Either the defendant ponies up the full amount, or relies on Exit Bail Bonds to come to the rescue. You can reach us at exitbailbondsinc@gmail.com or 305-233-3000. Make the call today.
A bail bond is a method used to get the release of a defendant awaiting trial upon criminal charges from the custody of law enforcement officials. The defendant, defendant's family and friends, or a professional bail bond agent executes a document that promises to give up the sum of money determined by the court to be equal to the gravity of the alleged crime if the defendant fails to return for the trial date.
Once a judge sets the bail, Exit Bail Bonds puts up the money to free the defendant until his court date.
Yes, depending on the jurisdiction. If the charge is under Florida State Court System, Exit Bail Bonds will charge a nonrefundable 10% of the Bail Bond or a $100 minimum per charge.
Several things are needed: valid Identification and the accused must be at least 18 years of age.

This OTC Toy Stock Has Outperformed Hasbro And Mattel In The Last 5 Years Thanks To Paw Patrol
by Chris Katje, Benzinga Staff Writer
August 22, 2021 4:35 PM | 3 min read
The two best known toy companies in the U.S. are Hasbro Inc HAS and Mattel Inc MAT. Both toy companies have struggled with their share price over the last five years with Hasbro shares up 19% and Mattel shares down 35%. A smaller Canadian toy company has had a better return over the last five year and owes most of its success to the hit "Paw Patrol" franchise.
What Happened: In 2013, "Paw Patrol" was introduced by Spin Master Corp SNMSF to children and quickly became a hit around the world including on Nickelodeon, a segment of ViacomCBS Inc VIAC.
There have been over 180 episodes of "Paw Patrol" and several spin-off series launched by Spin Master over the course of eight seasons. A theatrical animated movie was launched this last week.
"Paw Patrol: The Movie" grossed $13 million domestically over the weekend while also premiering on Paramount+ for free to subscribers. The movie was produced by Spin Master and received an A- rating from CinemaScore.
"Paw Patrol: The Movie" grossed $12.8 million in 33 international markets over the weekend and has a foreign box office total of $21.5 million since its release. The movie has grossed a total of $34.5 million worldwide.

Why It's Important: Spin Master had its IPO in 2015 and saw shares rise as "Paw Patrol" became a hit as one of the top kids' shows and toy brands.
Shares of Spin Master Corp are up 70% over the last five years on the OTC, outperforming rivals Hasbro and Mattel. Spin Master shares also trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the ticker TOY.
Paw Patrol was named the top new toy brand by the NPD Group in 2015 and has been one of the most profitable brands for Spin Master.
Other Spin Master brands include Bakugan, Hatchimals, Rubik's Cube and Mighty Express, a show airing on Netflix Inc NFLX.
Spin Master reported record profitability in the second quarter and saw revenue up 39% to $390.8 million.
"We are well positioned for the second half with an amazing toy line up, growth in our digital games franchises and the highly-anticipated release of Paw Patrol: The Movie, our first foray into feature films," Spin Master CEO Max Rangel said.
A new line of toys based on the movie was released by retailers in early August with over 30 products featured across vehicles, playsets, figures and plush categories.
The success of Paw Patrol could be in the early innings with Spin Master betting heavily on the brand going forward.
A March presentation listed Paw Patrol getting a franchise expansion in 2023 and three new themes in 2022. Paw Patrol will celebrate its 10 year anniversary in 2023 and will be featured heavily by the company.

Map of military influence in Syria 01-10-2018
The map of military influence in Syria for September 2018 showed stability in the total ratios of control among most of the forces. Areas and fronts did not witness significant military movements with the exception of battles between ISIS and SDF and between ISIS and the Syrian regime in eastern Syria. The relative stability of the ratios of control has been reinforced by the agreement reached by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Russian President Vladimir Putin after the Sochi Summit on September 17 as the agreement suspended an anticipated military operation in northern Syria.
According to the map issued by the Jusoor Center for Studies, the Syrian regime control ratio remained at its July record of 59.8%. The ratio is the highest ratio of control recorded since 2012. ISIS maintained its areas of influence despite the battles that took place on the fronts in the eastern region whereby ISIS's ration of control in September is 2.4%.
The armed opposition factions maintained the ratio of control 9.3% recorded in the previous month. Similarly, SDF maintained its ratio of control at 27.5%.
The Syrian East
The SDF completed their military operations within the third phase of al-Jazeer Storm battle launched in May 2018 to gain control of the last ISIS controlled pockets in the besieged al-Hajin-al-Baghouz area. This month witnessed noticeable events that include the participation of the Iraqi forces in the battles against ISIS with French and American artillery providing artillery support. The SDF was able to take control of the town of al-Baghouz al-Foukani and the forces advanced in the village of Buzan, but ISIS regained control of the village.
On the other hand, ISIS intensified its attacks against the Syrian regime forces and allied militias in the al-Boukamal Valley, al-Mayadin, and Palmyra in September 2018.
The Syrian North
The Syrian north anticipates the implementation of the Sochi Agreement reached by Ankara and Moscow on September 17, 2018. The two sides are supposed to complete the demarcation of the buffer zone by mid-October and the exact area size and distribution of this area is still unknown.
In the event that the terms of the agreement are implemented, the fourth de-escalation zone will be transformed into a temporary zone of stability and later into a comprehensive cease-fire zone. This implementation will lead to the establishment of mechanisms to activate the international road between Aleppo and Damascus (M-5) and the international road between Aleppo and Latakia (M-4).
Turkey will also strengthen its observation points and conduct joint patrols with Russia in the buffer zone.

I've never made a secret of the fact that when I'm older, I'd actually quite like to be James Bond. It's always been something my Dad and I have done together, watch old Bond films on a Saturday afternoon while my Mum goes to the shops. I've watched and loved them all, and despite the slight blip of Quantum of Solace, I've by and large enjoyed Daniel Craig as Bond also. Skyfall rates in one of my top ten films of all time, so the run up to the release of Spectre for me was similar to waiting for Christmas as a very small child.
The first thing I noticed about Spectre was, while it was a classic Bond film, it was a classic Bond film that didn't take itself too seriously, a factor which made the whole production more enjoyable. The film follows Bond as he is dismissed of duty, but naturally goes off and gets himself into all sorts of trouble; it's difficult to describe the plot without giving too much away, but for people who have seen the last three, it ties up a lot of loose ends and leaves the viewer with a strange sense of satisfaction.
Aside from Craig, obviously playing Bond, Spectre sees Ben Whishaw, Ralph Fiennes and Naomi Harris reprising their roles as Q, M and Miss Moneypenny respectively, all of whom add depth and humour to the film as a whole. The film also sees Lea Seydoux take on the role of the "Bond girl", something she does incredibly well, even if she is incredibly dislikeable to begin with. The film also features the usual wealth of amazing cars, (in this case the Aston Martin DB10) action scenes and spectacular scenery, as well as Bond getting himself into, and then back out of, some incredibly tricky situations. Christopher Waltz is a deliciously unhinged villain, and Andrew Scott is fantastic, as the new head of national security. Fans of Sherlock will be delighted to see him transferring his talents to the big screen.
The plot moves along at a fast pace, but is reasonably easy to follow, unlike some of the previous Bond plots, and has enough humour, romance and action to keep all viewers happy. Perhaps the only downfall of what is an otherwise marvellous film for me, is the truly tragic title music, supplied by the bleak Sam Smith, a piece of music that goes on for about three and half minutes longer than it absolutely has to. Classic cars, classic action, classic Bond, definitely a Bond film that's going to go the distance.

"It is falsehood," Moyo Thomas speaks on child paternity scandal (full text)
Oluwatobiloba Emmanuel January 09, 2021
After about two weeks of playing hide and seek, Moyo Thomas, the former FCMB staff accused of having two children for Adam Nuru, the managing director of the bank has spoken up at last.
Thomas who was accused of having the two children for Nuru who was forced to step aside as managing director of FCMB earlier in the week while married to Tunde.
Some friends of Thomas said Moyo revealed to her husband that he was not the father of the children after she left Nigeria for the U.S. in 2017.
The shocking revelations led to the death of Thomas on 16 December, 2020 and the deceased friends had mounted a campaign to get Nuru sacked on ethical grounds.
But reacting to the allegation in a statement late Friday, Moyo Thomas denied the allegations, while insisting that her late husband was the father of her two kids.
"On no occasion did I ever tell him he was not the father of our two children. It is therefore deliberate falsehood and certainly malicious to allege and insinuate that I informed him that the children are not his. The children still bear his name. Only God knows why he died in an untimely period. It is not in my place, or anyone's place to play God and talk with certainty as to the cause of his death, without proven medical facts.
"Despite our separation, we never allowed our differences affect the relationships we respectively have with the children. He still had conversations with the children like any father will, up until his sudden and unfortunate death," Thomas said in the statement.
Read her full statement below
I NEVER TOLD MY LATE HUSBAND HE IS NOT THE FATHER OF MY KIDS…MOYO THOMAS
"I write in reference to all the allegations and accusations that have recently been making the rounds on the internet and various social media platforms. I have refrained from responding to this matter for various reasons, one of which is to preserve the memories of Tunde who departed to be with his maker on December 16, 2020. Memories, not only to me, but to his children, who are still young, and to everybody who had a relationship with him.
"Just like any marriage, Tunde and I had a lot of differences in our marriage, some of which even led to police intervention. But I remain committed to keeping only positive memories of him. No one can ever understand what transpired between us or what each of us experienced in the marriage; like they say, it is he who wears the shoes that knows where it pinches. In all of it, I never for once wished him bad. His untimely and sudden death is still a shock to me as it is to many others.
"Despite our separation, we never allowed our differences affect the relationships we respectively have with the children. He still had conversations with the children like any father will, up until his sudden and unfortunate death.
It is quite sad and disheartening to see the pictures of these innocent children splashed all over the internet with very disparaging and weird comments.
"I do wish his family and friends the fortitude to bear the unfortunate loss and I ask that we all be allowed to grieve his loss in peace. He has now been laid to rest and we implore all and sundry to please respect our privacy and allow those grieving his loss, including the children and I, to do so in peace."

Canon PowerShot SX210 IS verdict
Canon PowerShot SX210 IS results : Real-life resolution / Sharpness wide-angle / Sharpness telephoto / High ISO Noise
To compare noise levels under real-life conditions we shot this scene with the Canon PowerShot SX210 IS and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX5 within a few moments of each other using their best-quality JPEG settings and at each of their ISO settings.
The lenses on each camera were adjusted to deliver the same field-of-view; the Sony crops are larger due to its lower resolution. Each camera was set to Program mode without intervention to see how they performed with default settings.
The image above was taken with the Canon PowerShot SX210 IS in Program mode at 80 ISO with an exposure of 0.5 seconds and the lens set to 8mm f3.5; the original file measured 2.93MB. The crops below are taken from the area marked with the red rectangle and presented here at 100%. The crops from the Sony HX5 show a larger area due to its lower resolution. You may wish to also open the equivalent page from our Panasonic TZ10 / ZS7 review for comparison, although bear in mind the results on that page and this page were taken on different days.
Note: the Sony Cyber-shot HX5 (and its touch-screen partner, the TX7) additionally offer two modes specifically designed for use in low light: Handheld Twilight (HHT) and Anti Motion Blur (AMB). Both modes fire-off six frames in quick succession and stack them to generate a single image with better protection against noise and camera-shake respectively. In the first series of images below, we've set the Sony HX5 to Program and manually selected steadily increasing sensitivities as we would normally do in our High ISO Noise tests, but below these you'll find additional samples taken moments later using HHT and AMB. Neither mode allows you to manually set the sensitivity, so we've been forced to use the automatic settings for each: under these conditions, HHT and AMB selected sensitivities of 400 and 3200 ISO respectively. Click here to jump straight to these results.
But back to our standard sequence in Program mode. The SX210 IS kicks-off the series below at 80 ISO where it delivers a crisp, detailed result, albeit one where pixel-peepers will already notice a little background texture from noise; interestingly, Panasonic's TZ10 / ZS7 appears cleaner at 80 ISO.
In the second row we have the SX210 IS increased by a small degree to 100 ISO, alongside the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX5 using its lowest sensitivity of 125 ISO. Beyond the difference in cropped area (due to their respective resolutions), there's a noticeable difference in image processing strategies. The Canon opts for a relatively hands-off approach with greater visible noise compared to the over-zealous processing of the Sony which eliminates most noise textures, but at the cost of smearing-out the finest details. As such, the Canon SX210 IS sample on this row contains finer details, but with noise textures which have already become quite apparent. Once again the Panasonic TZ10 / ZS7 at 100 ISO is managing a good balance between applying sufficient noise reduction to eliminate the speckles without losing too much detail.
At 200 ISO the Canon SX210 IS image has become a little softer, losing the crisp edges of the earlier samples. Visible noise remains at a similar level, but there's definitely more processing taking place behind the scenes. The Sony HX5 and Panasonic TZ10 / ZS7 samples at 200 ISO also show a slight softening with a minor increase in artefacts.
With the sensitivity increased to 400 ISO, the Canon image has become quite noisy, losing much of the finest details. The Panasonic TZ10 / ZS7 has also become quite patchy at this point, and while its punchier processing delivers a more contrasty image, there's not actually any perceptible advantage in terms of real-life detail over the Canon. In the meantime, Sony is still keeping visible noise at bay on the HX5 for a cleaner-looking result, but one that's gradually losing saturation and fine detail. Note, below the main sequence you'll find additional comparisons showing the Sony HX5's Handheld Twilight mode, which under these conditions automatically selected a sensitivity of 400 ISO – you can see if it does a better job than the normal Program setting at 400 ISO later.
Returning to the main sequence at 800 ISO, the Canon SX210 IS suffers from a noticeable reduction in saturation along with a hike in visible noise, for a softer image that's lost most of its fine detail. The Sony HX5 sample at 800 ISO is looking pretty splotchy at this point, but it's arguably a little preferable to the Canon. Looking back at our results for the Panasonic TZ10 / ZS7, it too is suffering from a significant increase in artefacts at 800 ISO, and again while the punchy processing is counteracting much of the traditional saturation-loss, there's not a great deal of fine detail remaining. That said, it's preferred to the Canon result.
At 1600 ISO, all three cameras are unsurprisingly struggling. The Canon SX210 IS has become very soft and noisy, with the fine detail now long gone. The Panasonic TZ10 / ZS7 has arguably taken the biggest hit of all with a very patchy result with a swing in colour balance. The Sony HX5 is no angel at this point either, but it's arguably the best of the three.
At this point, both the Canon SX210 IS and Panasonic TZ10 / ZS7 switch to their Low Light and High Sensitivity presets respectively, both operating at significantly reduced resolutions at with automatic sensitivities up to 3200 ISO. Under the conditions of the day, the SX210 IS selected 1600 ISO, and the drop in resolution certainly makes it look better than the full-sized version above, but remember you may achieve a similar result by just reducing the size of the big file. Panasonic's High Sensitivity preset at 3200 ISO looks crisper than the Canon, but again this is mostly the application of greater contrast and sharpening for a punchier result. In the meantime, the Sony HX5 is the only one of the three to bravely capture a full-sized image at 3200 ISO, although it's pretty damaged by noise artefacts at this point.
Ultimately like most compacts, the Canon SX210 IS performs at its best at 200 ISO or below, but even at the lowest sensitivity of 80 ISO, you'll see some visible noise textures. Look closely and you'll see a small benefit in resolved detail at these lowest ISOs compared to the Sony and Panasonic, but by 400 ISO and above any advantage has gone, and indeed you may prefer the output from the lower resolution models.
As mentioned above, the Sony HX5 additionally offers two modes specifically for use in low light conditions. You'll find examples of these below our main ISO sequence – click here to jump straight to them. Alternatively head straight over to our Sample Images Gallery for more examples across the Canon's sensitivity range, or if you've seen enough, head on over to our verdict!

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX5: Handheld Twilight mode versus Program mode (at 400 ISO)
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX5 offers two modes specifically designed for use in low light conditions. The Handheld Twilight and Anti Motion Blur modes both fire-off six frames in quick succession and stack them to deliver a single image with claims of better protection against noise and camera shake.
In this first section we've put the HX5's Handheld Twilight mode to the test by photographing our standard low light composition moments after the main sequence. Handheld Twilight mode automatically selects the sensitivity and here opted for 400 ISO.
Below right is a 100% crop from the Handheld Twilight sample, which under the conditions of the day automatically selected a sensitivity of 400 ISO. Interestingly the result was darker than the samples shot in Program mode, so we took a second comparative image in Program with -0.3EV compensation, at the same sensitivity of 400 ISO. You can see the crop from this sample below left.
While there's still a small difference in brightness, it's clear the Handheld Twilight version is cleaner than the one shot in Program. The patchy noise artefacts of the Program version have been greatly reduced, with crisper edges. It's as if the noise reduction has been increased, but without any negative side-effects. The actual degree of real-life detail is essentially the same, but by delivering a cleaner result without compromise, the Handheld Twilight version is definitely preferred.
For good measure we've also repeated our 400 ISO Program sample from the SX210 IS below, albeit at the originally metered value. Despite the greater difference in brightness, it's again clear how the HX5's Handheld Twilight mode has managed to deliver a similar degree of real-life detail, but without the noise. Again it's like noise reduction has been applied without any negative consequences.
This is a successful result for the Sony HX5, and in similar conditions, we'd definitely recommend using its Handheld Twilight mode over Program or Manual at 400 ISO. It's a key advantage the Sony has over the competition and we plan to expand our Sony HX5 review to include more examples in the near future. In the meantime, scroll down to see how its second mode, Anti Motion Blur, performs under the same conditions.

Handheld Twilight mode (auto-selected 400 ISO)
Canon PowerShot SX210 IS: Program at 400 ISO
Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX5: Anti Motion Blur mode versus Program mode (at 3200 ISO)
In this second section we've put the HX5's Anti Motion Blur mode to the test by photographing our standard low light composition moments after the main sequence. Anti Motion Blur mode automatically selects the sensitivity and here opted for 3200 ISO.
Below right is a 100% crop from the Anti Motion Blur sample, which under the conditions of the day automatically selected a sensitivity of 3200 ISO. Unlike the Handheld Twilight mode above, the brightness of the image matched that of our original sequence, so below we've pictured crops from the Anti Motion Blur on the right and Program mode manually set to 3200 ISO on the left.
As discussed in the main sequence, the 3200 ISO sample in Program mode is very noisy. The crop from the Anti Motion Blur version is also suffering from a lot of noise, but it's a visible improvement over the Program sample at the same sensitivity. It's much cleaner and has better-defined edges. If you scroll back up to compare it against the main sequence, it's fair to say it's closest to the 1600 ISO sample in Program mode.
So in this particular situation, Anti Motion Blur has effectively given us the speed benefit of shooting at 3200 ISO, but with quality roughly similar to 1600 ISO in Program. As such it's a no-brainer to use it in conditions when you need this top sensitivity. Don't expect miracles though – the image is still noisy and lacking saturation, and therefore best-suited to very small prints or online reductions, but by delivering a superior result to its rivals (not to mention its own Program mode) at 3200 ISO, it's a valuable ally to have in emergency situations.
So another successful result for the Sony HX5, again illustrating how the company is thinking sensibly about addressing the low light issues which face cameras with small sensors. These modes are a key advantage the Sony has over the competition and we plan to expand our Sony HX5 review to include more examples in the near future.
But now it's back to our Canon PowerShot SX210 IS review, where we'll take a look at more real-life images across its sensitivity range in our sample images gallery.

A General Equilibrium Model for Industries with Price and Service Competition
Fernando Bernstein
() (The Fuqua School of Business, Duke University, Durham, North Carolina 27708)
() (Graduate School of Business, Columbia University, New York, New York 10027)
This paper develops a stochastic general equilibrium inventory model for an oligopoly, in which all inventory constraint parameters are endogenously determined. We propose several systems of demand processes whose distributions are functions of all retailers' prices and all retailers' service levels. We proceed with the investigation of the equilibrium behavior of infinite-horizon models for industries facing this type of generalized competition, under demand uncertainty.We systematically consider the following three competition scenarios. (1) Price competition only: Here, we assume that the firms' service levels are exogenously chosen, but characterize how the price and inventory strategy equilibrium vary with the chosen service levels. (2) Simultaneous price and service-level competition: Here, each of the firms simultaneously chooses a service level and a combined price and inventory strategy. (3) Two-stage competition: The firms make their competitive choices sequentially. In a first stage, all firms simultaneously choose a service level; in a second stage, the firms simultaneously choose a combined pricing and inventory strategy with full knowledge of the service levels selected by all competitors. We show that in all of the above settings a Nash equilibrium of infinite-horizon stationary strategies exists and that it is of a simple structure, provided a Nash equilibrium exists in a so-called reduced game.We pay particular attention to the question of whether a firm can choose its service level on the basis of its own (input) characteristics (i.e., its cost parameters and demand function) only. We also investigate under which of the demand models a firm, under simultaneous competition, responds to a change in the exogenously specified characteristics of the various competitors by either: (i) adjusting its service level and price in the same direction, thereby compensating for price increases (decreases) by offering improved (inferior) service, or (ii) adjusting them in opposite directions, thereby simultaneously offering better or worse prices and service.

The Bichpoo, often called the Poochon, is a hybrid breed of the Poodle and the Bichon Frise. When it comes to hybrid breeds, it is important to pay attention to both breeds of the parents, as the puppy can inherit any or all diseases from both sides. Some of the major health problems to watch out for in your Bichpoo puppy include Addison's Disease, Von Willebrand's Disease, epilepsy, Cushing's Disease, hypothyroidism, patellar luxation, and Legg-Perthes Disease.
Addison's Disease is also known as hypoadrenocorticism and can be found in the Bichpoo. This condition occurs when the body does not produce enough corticosteroids. The adrenal gland is responsible for pumping out this substance and when it does not, the body is not able to function properly.
Von Willebrand's Disease is a type of blood disorder that occurs and can cause platelets to lack the protein needed to stick together and clot the blood.
Epilepsy can occur in your Bichpoo and is often related to other underlying conditions such as a neurological issue or diabetes. Seizures can be scary, and they take a lot out of your dog when they occur. The seizure itself can range from mild to quite violent in nature.
Cushing's Disease is another condition that your Bichpoo may have inherited. This condition often occurs in older, senior dogs. The disease is related to a tumor that forms on the pituitary gland in dogs. Symptoms are often displayed, and your dog may exhibit hair loss, skin lumps, muscle weaknesses, panting, and high blood pressure.
Hypothyroidism is a condition that affects the thyroid in dogs and can lead to trouble gaining weight or the opposite, obesity.
Your Bichpoo may experience a condition known as patellar luxation which occurs when the knee cap slips out of place or is dislocated. This can be painful for your pet and may cause weakness in the limbs.
Lastly, your Bichpoo may inherit Legg-Perthes Disease, which causes bone and joint inflammation in the hip joint. This disease is painful for your pup.
The Bichpoo's life expectancy is 13 to 15 years.
While the Bichpoo may be small in size, it has a wonderful personality. They are known to be loyal, cheerful, friendly, and affectionate.
This little ball of fur is active and loves to play. You would be hard-pressed to find a Bichpoo that doesn't want to run around and chase anyone ready to play. Since the Bichpoo is energetic and playful, he or she is a great addition to any family with children.
This breed is not necessarily a watchdog, but is often cautious of strangers and will bark if need be. The Bichpoo is loyal to the ones he or she loves and will show you affection day in and out. You can expect your puppy to curl up with you and even lay next to you in bed if allowed.
The Bichpoo is a brilliant breed of dog and loves to please his or her owner. You can train this pup quickly, and he or she will listen to your commands. The Bichpoo responds well to a gentle approach and calm training. If you are too stern or use aggressive methods to train them, they will become stubborn.
Your Bichpoo is perfect for apartment living and can adapt when needed. While you do not have to go on long walks, he or she does need to be walked for 30 to 45 minutes per day.
Often, the Bichpoo is hypoallergenic, especially if they pick up the traits from the Poodle side, which means that they are perfect for families who have allergies.
The grooming needs of the Bichpoo are not super demanding. You should brush your Bichpoo daily, but once every couple of days is okay too. This breed does need to be clipped by the groomer every few months, so keep this in mind.
You do not want to over bathe your Bichpoo, as this can strip the natural oils from their skin and cause it to dry out. A bath is only required when they are really dirty or smelly.
You should check your Bichpoo's ears once a week and clean them with a cotton ball. You will also need to clip your dog's nails to prevent overgrowth.
Your Bichpoo needs to eat between 3/4 cup and 1.5 cups of food per day. Ideally, this food should be split up into two meals, once in the morning and once at night.
When it comes to choosing your Bichpoo's food, choose one that is high in quality and does not contain any by-products or chemicals. You should look for ingredients such as corn, rice, gravy, and meats.
If you are unsure of what type of food to feed your new Bichpoo puppy, speak with your veterinarian and ask for his or her opinion on a recommended brand.
You can feed wet food to your Bichpoo, but it should not be relied upon on as the only source of food, as it can lead to obesity and a poor source of nutrients.
A Bichpoo puppy will cost you anywhere between $500 and $1,000. It is not likely that you will find them in a shelter, but you may find one in a rescue. To adopt this breed, you can expect to pay anywhere between $150 and $300.
In addition to the cost of your puppy, you should estimate for another $600 or so annually to care for your puppy and take him or her to get vaccines.
Ranking takes into account a few basic factors including cost, skill level needed, high vs low maintenance and how critical regular training is to success. The Bichpoo is not as common as some of the other breeds out there, but if you can locate a breeder selling one, they are worth the cost and the hunt. This breed makes a wonderful family pet and will fulfill your need for a four-legged companion. This breed ranks a 1.

This paper examines relationship between social identities and acculturation strategies of Russians (the ethnic minority) and Ossetians (the ethnic majority) in the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania (RNO-A). This study reveals the similarities and differences in relationships between social identities and acculturation strategies of integration and assimilation in three generations of Russians and Ossetians, living in RNO-A. The sample included 109 grandparent-parent-adolescent triads from Russian families and 106 triads from Ossetian families (N=645). Acculturation strategies and acculturation expectations were measured with MIRIPS scales, for ethnic, civic, religious, republic, regional identities. Data processing was carried out using structural equation modelling (SEM) separately for the ethnic minority and the ethnic majority. In the Russian sample there is a negative correlation between Russian cultural identity and the preference of assimilation strategy, and a positive correlation between their other (Ossetian) cultural identity and their integration strategy in all three generations. Among Ossetians no clear relationship between their Ossetian cultural identity and acculturation expectations was found in any of the generations. In Ossetian grandparents and adolescents the other (Russian) cultural identity is positively associated with the acculturation expectation multiculturalism. In adolescents (unlike grandparents and parents) this identity also has a positive correlation with the acculturation expectation melting pot. For Ossetian parents and adolescents their own cultural identity is positively associated with the acculturation expectation multiculturalism. For Ossetian parents (unlike for grandparents and adolescents) their own cultural identity negatively correlates with the acculturation expectation melting pot. In both ethnic groups their own cultural identities promote the preservation of their own culture while other cultural identities help them to adapt successfully in a multicultural society.

The Swedish trio brought a string sonic blast to the Tiny Desk, performing on string guitar, vioala and the nyckelharpa a fiddle with keys — think 15th century keytar.
Clean Cornelius. Cornelius' Keigo Oyamada deconstructs and reassembles music like it's a neon cubist-pop sculpture. On a rare U. Clean John Prine. For more than 45 years, the legendary John Prine has written some of the most powerful lyrics in the American music canon. He brings some of his best to this unforgettable Tiny Desk performance.
Clean Kuinka. Each year we get thousands of submissions for our annual Tiny Desk contest. Seattle's Kuinka was one of last year's entrants. While they didn't win, we loved them so much we invited them to come play. Clean Alex Clare. Clare's songs ask listeners to probe their own emotions through the lens of life's bigger pictures. His visit to Bob Boilen's desk is the perfect setting to bask in the power of his voice.
Explicit Big K. The Mississippi rapper paid homage to his grandmother and performed songs from his new album 4eva Is a Mighty Long Time. Clean Anna Meredith. Out of nearly performances at the Tiny Desk over the past decade, this one by British composer Anna Meredith is one of the most exhilarating. Clean Roy Ayers. Clean Lee Ann Womack. The Nashville star brought some good old country music stories to the Tiny Desk. Clean Vagabon. Laetitia Tamko, the artist known as Vagabon, is a year-old, Cameroon-born musician with a big, tenor voice just bursting with new musical ideas.
Clean August Greene. Clean Big Daddy Kane. One of the greatest to ever bless the mic treated the Tiny Desk audience to an office block party. The Afro-Venezuelan collective brings the boisterous parranda sound to the Tiny Desk. Clean Nick Hakim. The music of Nick Hakim occupies a space and time that feels out of this world, with songs that explore the quietude of inner thoughts.
Clean Marlon Williams. Marlon Williams has a heart-stopping voice, is in love with a good, traditional blues or country tune, and writes songs about vampires and horror films. Clean The Crossrhodes. The Crossrhodes showed up to the Tiny Desk with game faces on, bringing with it a locally cultivated, globally appreciated energy. Clean Ibeyi. Watch the twin sisters perform a four-song set at the Tiny Desk. It's a spirit singer Alynda Segarra and the rest of the band bring to this memorable Tiny Desk performance.
This under-the-radar singer from the Dominican Republic is starting to turn some heads. You'll see why in this Tiny Desk performance. Clean Alice Smith. The beloved singer-songwriter premiered three new songs while turning NPR's headquarters into a Harlem speakeasy. Explicit Jamila Woods. In three songs celebrating black ancestry and self-love, Woods demonstrated just how adept she is at creating songs rich with philosophical meaning that also move and groove.
Clean Barbara Hannigan. George Clinton brought his family, both immediate and extended, to the Tiny Desk for a set of classic cosmic slop. Explicit St. The singer performed at the Tiny Desk without a warmup or soundcheck, with just her acoustic guitar and un-amplified voice, letting the wordplay in her songs shine through.

Clean Amadou and Mariam. The Malian musicians, who've been playing together for nearly 40 years, bring some of the most lyrical melodies and joyful sounds we've ever had at the Tiny Desk. Clean The Lemon Twigs. Brothers Brian and Michael D'Addario seem like they beamed into the Tiny Desk from the year , untouched by the 21st century. Clean AHI. The Ontario-based singer has a gruff but sweet voice with openly honest words behind soulful tunes of hope.
More than a dozen artists gather behind the Tiny Desk to celebrate Memphis soul in a joyful, triumphant performance. Clean Julien Baker. Julien Baker's Turn Out The Lights brought her much-deserved critical acclaim and wider attention in Before its release, we asked her to make a rare return to the Tiny Desk for something special. Clean The Weather Station. One of the joys of listening to The Weather station is the tension and release in the group's enchanting music. It's what made the band's most recent album one of Bob Boilen's favorite of Clean Lo Moon. The LA band's signature sound is intimate and demonstrative, haunting yet uplifting, an old-fashioned rock beat under glimmering guitar and keys.
And at the Tiny Desk, it was at ease. Explicit Open Mike Eagle. The indie rap denizen behind one of 's most inventive albums came to the nation's capital to represent all the Brick Body Kids who Still Daydream. Frantic time-lapse set decoration. An intrusive snow machine. Ugly holiday sweaters.

And the stories the band's only permanent member, Kate Stables, weaves are profound but sweet with a tone that quietly reels you in. Clean Cigarettes After Sex. This comes close to the quietest Tiny Desk Concert we've ever had. The music Cigarettes After Sex makes is incredibly hushed. It's a sound so minimal it barely exists.

Clean Walter Martin. Best known for his role with The Walkmen, as a solo artist he makes unabashedly joyful, sweetly innocent and playful music. And only he would arrive with a barbershop quartet. Clean Moses Sumney. The Los-Angeles-based force of nature, one of the most inspired talents of today, shows off a spontaneous side at and around the Tiny Desk. Clean Phoebe Bridgers. Her songs come laden with finely detailed observations about hypnotherapy, Jeffrey Dahmer and everything in between.
They receive a languid, impeccably-phrased performance at the Tiny Desk. Clean Ledisi. Just ask her makeup artist. Clean David Greilsammer. With a knack for cunning juxtapositions, the adventurous pianist stitches together a baroque sonata, a slice of French serenity and a quirky portrait of a mysterious barn owl. Clean Billy Corgan.

What's in Your Stash? Christina Forbrich, Founder & CEO of Canncierge Consulting
Christina Forbrich found her niche in the cannabis space after helping herself with the plant as a teenager. She dove deep into the science of the plant in college and came full-circle back to cannabis as remedy as an adult for myriad symptom relief.
Her consulting company, The Canncierge, is a play on words from a hotel's concierge—someone who assists with whatever a guest needs. Not a far stretch from Forbrich's business of customizing, what she calls, a "canna-plan" for each client.
"My work is personalized cannabis education, enabling folks to make informed consumption decisions," she shared from her home in San Diego. "Each consultation begins with an interview," she continued. "Then I synthesize their information to create a plan for integrating cannabis into their lifestyle."
Clients are educated on plant compounds and applications, while providing references to legitimate research and resources aligned with their needs, with a focus on women and seniors.
"I have some male clients and have worked with entire families," she added. "I don't make too much of a differentiation between the medicinal aspects of the plant and recreational use. The main goal is to not have them overmedicate, get discouraged, and give-up for lack of information."
Self-Medicating at 15
The forty year-old mother, wife, and entrepreneur grew up in Southern California. Her first time self-medicating with cannabis was at age 15, which is a surprisingly common admission for most adult patients who struggle with symptoms from the Autism Spectrum. This includes anxiety, depression, ADD or ADHD, and PTSD from any number of traumas.
"My first experience was out of curiosity," she explained. "Very quickly – within a few months – I found cannabis to be an effective remedy for crippling social anxiety, stemming from a chaotic home life. As a bonus, it also treated excruciating menstrual cramps that left me physically and emotionally ill."
Diagnosed as a young adult with Anxiety Disorder, with episodes of depression, Forbrich found that cannabis was a practical remedy for relief; including treating hip and back pain from years of injuries from playing soccer as goalkeeper, then irritated from childbirth.
In 1996 Forbrich turned 18 and was able to vote for California's Proposition 215, making the state the first in the country to legalize cannabis as remedy. At the same time, she was introduced to Dennis Peron, founder of the Cannabis Buyers Club in San Francisco – one of the first cooperative care programs in the country.
"When all my friends were drinking copiously, I was more interested in the herb," she said. "I substituted the herb for Advil and it worked. I saved stems and made tinctures before it was a thing. In college I studied Sociology and Economics and became, what I call, a 'citizen scientist" of the plant – informally studying, not only the botanic and biologic characteristics of cannabis, but experimenting for my own benefits and knowledge."
In college, Forbrich said she would study high, take tests high, and then compare the results when not medicated. She said she always killed it on the exams when using cannabis, as it gave her focus.
Forbrich laughs at the memory of excursions to the library, with most of the literature she found on cannabis on microfiche only, pre-internet.
Since California legalized for recreation in 2017, Forbrich said establishing her company in the same year was a given.
"Since college I've been the resident weed coach for my family and friends, which is the reason I began my consulting company – it was inevitable," she surmised. "I literally professionalized my passion, and I'm beyond grateful to be in the space in this way."

A Canncierge's Purposeful Stash
Forbrich's stash is kept in a handmade bag by Lisamarie Gonzales of CannaCoutured Stashbag, hand stamped with a cannabis leaf. The container holding flower is made by Canlock, and she says the jar is designed to express air out, keeping the bud fresh.
Spirit of The Herbs CBD Salve, made by Holly Hoops of Denver, is a go-to for skin issues, including her child's eczema. She also uses it for aches and pains, plantar fasciitis, back pain, and more.
Her vape cartridge is made by Select Oil, and is filled with White Rhino, which she says is a consistent formulation, but she also gravitates towards small batch mixes from Out Co.
Sublingual Strips are made by Craft 1861, and are infused with CBD.
"I love the strips for freshening both my breath and my mood!" she laughed. "They come in a couple different dosages, so it makes it easy to personalize. They taste nice, work well and are discreet. My friend Eric Lujan is the maker – he's a dogged advocate for cannabis reform, as well."
Her go-to for menstrual cramps are cannabis vaginal suppositories in combination with a heating pad.
"I get extremely weepy and sensitive before my period, with Humane Society ads reducing me to bawling pretty quickly," she shared. "Physically, on the day of my period, I feel nauseated, so this is when I'll go for everything in my stash, and practice, what I've termed as, 'Layer my Lifting," combining products in a strategic way."
She'll use a 1:1 THC/CBD tincture, and dab a high THC concentrate to medicate for a longer duration of time. If it's a workday, she'll only do the 1:1. Using cannabis is proactive, and knowing what works via trials with successes and fails is the way most patients find their dose for what ails them.
"These are conditions I used to pop a pill to relieve without blinking," she added. "I find that the combination of different modalities is essential to my cannabis consumption, and that thoughtful application of cannabis addresses my symptoms in a much more natural – and enjoyable – fashion."
That said, after trial and error, Forbrich admits to keeping one pharmaceutical in her protocol.
"Cannabis replaced pain killers and has allowed me to reduce my dose of Zoloft substantially," she shared. "I've been on more of it, on less of it, and completely off of it; and my doctor and I have found that my anxiety is very balanced on a dose of 100 milligrams – it works with my brain chemistry – along with the cannabis protocols."
Forbrich said that the introduction to Cannabidiol into her regimen allowed her to skip every other day of taking the Zoloft, in effect, reducing her dose by 50 percent.
"I also use the plant to enhance my workouts, to focus, for socializing, and for creative work," she added.
The tincture in the green bottle is homemade with MCT oil, made in a Magical Butter Machine with high quality trim and bud from Forbrich's all-time favorite cultivar, Lemon Larry OG.
Another favorite found in many of the best stashes, is a pack of Raw papers and crutches, by Josh Kesselman, who is also one of the industry's favorite characters. Raw papers are Vegan, made from minimally processed organic hemp fibers, with no dyes, chemicals or whiteners.
As quoted in Inc. magazine, Kesselman says, "Everyone wants to smoke the best… It's like how people don't want to eat Wonder Bread anymore – they want to eat all-natural, ancient grains."
Lastly, the little pink pin is a nod to her sisters in green, representing the Pink Haze Society; a cannabis club for intergenerational women in San Diego.
"I still see cannabis legalization slowly moving toward every state," she surmised. "The people want it. There are more and more people eschewing alcohol and drugs every day. I see the industry-side becoming less equitable with a serious diversity problem, not relating to the people. There's been a lot of pain and set-backs, but I also see women, people of color, seniors and Veterans at the forefront of leadership – and this gives me hope for the future."

The Titanic is one of the most famous shipwrecks on the seafloor, but for decades following the 1912 disaster, its debris remained undetected. It took a secret Cold War Navy mission to find two unrelated vessels to finally pinpoint the doomed ship's location.
Now, the history of the Titanic's discovery is the subject of "Titanic: The Untold Story," a new exhibit at the National Geographic Museum in Washington D.C. In 1985, U.S. Navy commander and National Geographic Explorer-at-Large Robert Ballard was commissioned by the Navy to use a submersible to find the wreckage of two nuclear submarines. The USS Thresher and the USS Scorpion both went down in the North Atlantic Ocean during the Cold War, and the U.S. government wanted to know why the ships sank, as well as what impact their nuclear reactors had on the environment.
Ballard agreed to help, but he had a request of his own: He wanted to use the submersible technology to search for the remains of the Titanic, which he suspected ended up in the same area as the submarines he was asked to investigate. He received permission to pursue the side project, just as long as he completed the primary mission.
After tracking down the Cold War submarines, Ballard and his crew launched their own mission to find the Titanic using historical records detailing where the ship may have sunk and where the lifeboats were rescued. They received the first images of the sunken ship's boiler, something last seen when the Titanic was above water, on September 1, 1985.
The previously classified story is told in detail at the National Geographic exhibit, which is now open to the public through January 6, 2019. The show will also feature artifacts from Titanic history, like a deck chair and sheet music that belonged to Wallace Hartley, the bandleader who insisted on playing as the ship sank.

Hindus in Pakistan are a forgotten community
Fri, 21st September 2012
For Haroon Sarab Diyal, Hindus in Pakistan are a "forgotten community". The trend of forced migration among members of the community is evident by the decrease in population numbers from 20% to less than 2% since the country's independence. This trend of migration is a reaction to "religious intolerance" and "class disparities", Sarab Diyal believes.
Representing the Hindu community in a recent public hearing on the rights of religious minorities in Pakistan, organised by the Commission of the Churches on International Affairs of the World Council of Churches (WCC) in Geneva, Switzerland on September 17, Sarab Diyal asked the international community to listen to voices of the members of Hindu community in Pakistan.
Sarab Diyal comes from Peshawar, capital of mountainous Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province in Pakistan bordering Afghanistan, where non-Muslims are few in numbers and the presence of religious extremist groups can be felt more than ever.
Sarab Diyal also serves as chairman of the All Pakistan Hindu Rights Movement, an organisation engaged in promoting rights of the Hindu community.
Hindus in Pakistan, who happen to be from the less privileged economic strata of society are more vulnerable to discrimination, both by unjust laws and abuse of state policies, as well as through social behaviours. "Keeping ourselves safe and voicing the demands of our community is not easy," says Sarab Diyal.
"Many Hindus are forced to pay regular sums, as a type of ransom to extortionists and local leaders in exchange for the physical security of their families," he added. "Another issue that concerns us today is the molestation and abduction of Hindu girls, forced conversion and forced marriages."
Recently there have been several cases of "forced conversions" in Pakistan where Hindu girls were forced to marry influential Muslim men and subsequently were asked to change their religion. Among these was the case of 19 year old Rinkal Kumari, who was forced to marry a feudal leader of Mirpur Mathelo town in Sindh. The incident was soundly condemned by the religious minorities and civil society groups in the country.
"There is hardly any support given to Hindu women and youth in Pakistan," Sarab Diyal observes. "Within our community we don't have any programmes for women's empowerment. We also feel that we do not get any support from the international community despite the grave issues of discrimination we face on a daily basis."
For Sarab Diyal, having an opportunity to express his concerns in a public hearing with Christian, Muslims and civil society representatives in Geneva was unique. "I am grateful to the WCC for this platform, where among other religious minorities we could discuss our problems and communicate the issue with the international community," he said.
"While, we go back home and work for our communities, their safety and their better future, we anticipate support and solidarity from the churches, as well," concluded Sarab Diyal.
The issues of forced conversions and marriages in Pakistan were discussed at the recent WCC Central Committee meeting in Greece in September. At the meeting a statement was issued urging the Pakistani government to ensure adequate protection of women from the religious minority communities.
Naveen Qayyum from Pakistan is the WCC staff writer.

Victoria Beckham is apparently purchasing a family portrait for her husband for Xmas - for his body!
The former Spice girl is reportedly forking out for a trendy £10,000 tattoo of an image of herself and the pair's three kids - Brookyln, Romeo and Cruz.
An appointment has been made at the tattoo parlour, for the fashion conscious footballer who is thought to be hooked on body art. He currently has nine tattooes, including a couple of angelic figures and a cloud, his childrens' names and a Hindi engraving dedicated to Posh.
The famous sportsman will be taking into account the possiblity of more Beckham offspring being added to the picture.


Si rinnova ogni anno ad agosto a Londra l'appuntamento con la Fête Quaqua promossa dall'associazione Mopomoso guidata da John Russell: tre giorni di incontri e concerti di musica improvvisata presso il Vortex, da tempo sede adottiva delle iniziative pubbliche dell'associazione, da oggi al 22 agosto, pomeriggio e sera. Assieme a Russell in quest'occasione intervengono tra gli altri Alice Eldridge, Satoko Fukuda, Matt Hutchinson, Ken Ikeda, Henry Lowther, Gina Southgate, Roger Turner, Jennifer Walsh e Alex Ward.
"August comes again, another Fête Quaqua is in the offing and, once more, it brings what looks like being another three days of getting down to, what for me, is the 'real nitty gritty'. Playing music live in a concentrated listening environment. Think the intimacy of a small theatre or chamber hall with the focus on the performance and the performers. An audience engaging with the music in a direct way and sharing the musical discoveries with the musicians as they are made. No replays. Music making in real time. True performance not imitation. I believe that we begin forming our musical identities in the womb and everyone has a unique personal musicality that grows and is shaped by our experiences throughout our lives. A truly creative artist recognises this uniqueness and that coming with it is a responsibility to employ it in their work. The musicians in this year's Fête Quaqua all share this quality and the wide background of experiences make for a fertile ground in which the music can flourish. In one sense we are not trying to make a music but to reveal a music and to share it in real time. The range skills and sounds available are not proscribed by pre performance compositional structures but come from the musical imperative at the time. With these musicians it is quite a range too!"

Q: Windows Server 2008 R2 File Copy Auditing I'm looking for a way, either natively or through 3rd party tools, to monitor when a file is copied from a windows 2008 server share to another destination.
My environment is a virtual desktop infrastructure on which I have a Windows 2008 R2 DC/File server with Windows Shares.  Also on the VDI are virtual Windows 7 computers which users log into via RDP through a gateway-to-gateway VPN tunnel.  All files are supposed to remain on the VDI but I need to know when a user copies files from the shares to another computer (either one of the virtual machines or, more importantly, a local computer from which they are working.

A: First enable appropriate auditing and then interpret the event logs. All file operations consist of multiple low level events and it's those low level events that get logged.
A copy is therefore not a single event but a sequence of events, starting with a file open and ending with a file close, for both source and destination. There can be any number of reads or writes in between and, just to make things more difficult for us humans, there may be unrelated log entries interspersed between them.
The only real way to extract this kind of information is with a script or program which can read the logs using stateful inspection. It's important to note that if, at the very least, either the file open or file close didn't occur for both source and destination then the copy didn't occur, although it may indicate a failed attempt to copy.

Did that make it sound really easy? It isn't, but the more you do the easier it gets. We (I say we as Tobi often plays a big part in the design and decorating especially for Bethan's last birthday when I had to attend to a screaming 4 week old baby!) are self taught with a few hints and tips from a book – Peggy Porschen's Pretty Party Cakes: Sweet and Stylish Cookies and Cakes for All Occasions. Ms Porschen's work is amazing, look here to be wowed!
We forgot to take any pictures of the cake when it was cut – it was a sponge sandwich and to continue the fresian effect one sponge was chocolate and the other was plain!
