Getting a new puppy is a wonderful experience, but it can be a little intimidating too.
[wp_ad_camp_5]You know that those first few weeks are going to be jam-packed with important tasks.
Perhaps the most vital of which is getting started with socialisation.
You shouldn't put your pup down on ground that might be contaminated, until he has had his full course of jabs at about 12 weeks old.
Your vet will tell you exactly when it's safe to let him interact with other dogs and play in public places.
But this doesn't mean you can't get started with his socialisation before then.
In fact, it's quite important that you do! As we know that the socialisation window is very small, and has already begun to close when dogs are reaching just three months old.
Most eight week old puppies are still very small and most of us will find them quite easy to carry around in our arms during those initial weeks.
[wp_ad_camp_2]If your dog is a struggle to carry, you can use a large shoulder bag to help support his weight.
Make the most of this ease of transportation to take them to lots of places.
Make sure they are made a good fuss of by as big a range of people as possible.
There really is no time like the present, to make sure your pup is happy and at home in any of the social situations he might meet in later life.
Let's have a look at some great places to get your pup familiar with in those critical first few weeks.
Let's start with the most obvious place. The local park.
If you live in a town, you still want your puppy to get used to more open and rural environments. A public park is a good way to combine this experience with meeting people.
You don't need to go on a forced march around the place. And its best to keep him out of any dedicated 'doggy' areas for now. It's fine to find a space on a bench, pop your puppy into your lap, and let them have a good look, and sniff.
He will get to have some valuable early experiences of other park-going dogs, people, bikes, skateboards and children, as well as the usual wildlife too.
When we think of how life will be with our new dog, a lot of us picture going for runs on the beach. Playing beside the sea.
Not only is the beach a great place to see lots of people and other dogs, but it has certain unique aspects to it that you will want your dog to be comfortable with.
The noise and sheer scale of the water, for example. Take some time to stand by the waves with your puppy in your arms, taking in the sea spray and the sound of the ocean.
Sit on a bench on the seafront and watch fun.
Get him used to seeing all the activities that take place there, from ball games to kite flying.
The school gates are a fantastic place to get puppies used to young kids.
They will make lots of noise, and in their droves want to say hello, pat or cuddle your tiny puppy.
However, there is a pitfall here. If you are a single man, I absolutely do not recommend going and standing at the school gates with a puppy, when you don't have a child at the school.
If you are single and want to socialise your pup to children, get in touch with a friend or family member who has school age kids and go with them to pick up or drop off.
This will prevent any awkward questions, or potential embarassing misunderstandings!
Depending on where your local supermarket is, they may or may not let dogs in. It's no problem if they don't, because you can just settle down on a bench by the trolleys and let the human traffic come to you.
Let your pup get used to the rumble of trolleys being pushed around, and the clunks as the carts are stacked together.
Get in the mix of people standing waiting outside, or coming in and out.
Remember, you are there to expose your pup to everyday experiences, so standing a long way away and feeling shy will unfortunately achieve a lot less than putting yourself and your puppy out there.
Public transport, especially if you live in a city or town, is a great way to get your pup to meet lots of different people. As well as contributing to their acclimatisation to roadside noise.
You don't need to ride on the bus, just walk up to a few busy bus shelters and take a seat with your pup on your lap.
Puppies are people magnets, you will probably soon find that a lot more than the local bus clientele are coming up for a chat and a quick puppy cuddle.
You might think that you will never want to take your dog on a train, so why bother getting him used to them?
Well it's not just large, loud locomotives you find at the station. But a lot of people, in all shapes and sizes, from all walks of life.
They will be either moving quickly leaving trains, or dithering around on platforms getting bored, and quite happy to say hello to your adorable little pup.
Unless you live in the darkest depths of the back of beyond, your Labrador will come across a lot of cars in his life.
They are loud, large and often make unexpected noises like hooting or engine revs.
A dog who is scared of cars has a tough time when out on what should be a fun day with his family.
Hanging around in a safe corner of a car park a few times when your puppy is small will help her to feel at ease with their presence.
Try and go to a few different ones, and let your puppy experience loud lorries as well as Smart cars and Minis!
Public malls are a mass of people on busy shopping days.
They are also full of noise, people jostling each other and hauling swinging bags around. All things that any dog in the town will have to be used to when he's grown up.
Wander around the busier sections, and make sure to go on days when you know there will be a lot of people around. Weekends are ideal as you will have teenagers and children as well as adults, who are all altogether different experience for pups!
The local pub is a great place to bring a puppy for socialisation. Not just because it's a good excuse to sit on a bar stool and have a nice, cool beer!
Pubs are a very different environment to a lot of places you will take your dog in your day to day life. They are more similar to going to someone elses house, and being happy relaxing in their sitting room.
They will see lots of different people coming and going, with a wide range of ages, from skinny teenage girls to big bearded old men. Your little puppy will need to have experience of a range of people in order to be happily accepting of any of them when he is older.
Whether it's football, rugby or cricket, sports matches are common place in most villages or towns. They draw crowds and present a lot of noise.
There will be a great deal going on, and lots of people getting rather enthusiastic from the sidelines.
All of which your puppy will benefit from experiencing during the vital socialisation window.
Make sure you pick something that isn't going to get too rowdy or crowded though, or that involves tickets rather than just walking up on the village green – as you might not be able to bring your pup along.
Village fetes are usually intense, excited little hives of activity.
There will be children screaming and running around, announcements over loud speakers and a press of bodies by tents and in stalls.
All of these things are really important for a family dog to be familiar with, and to stay confident around.
Let as many people as want to come up and say hello, and take him into all the most busy and loud areas. It might be a bit of a pain to do, but it will be worth it for the experience.
Country shows are fabulous places to get your pup used to all manner of sites and sounds.
Lots of country shows have livestock tents. It is fine to bring your puppy into these, unless there is a sign telling you otherwise.
[wp_ad_camp_1]Be careful to show your pup the animals in there, and let him take in the sights and smells, but don't be tempted to personally introduce him to a sheep or pig there and then.
Remember, you don't know how either animal might feel about the other. Or want potential illnesses your unvaccinated pup might pick up from the creatures he meets.
Remember too, if it's a very hot day to take a travel bottle and plenty of water for him, as well as an umbrella to use as a parasol if necessary.
Come prepared, and you will have a really fun day as well as a great opportunity to socialise your tiny friend.
There are lots of places you can socialise your puppy, before he is even able to be put down on the ground.
Before he arrives, why not make a list and get one ticked off every day for the first few weeks.
A bit of hard work in the early days, will help you to ensure that you have years of happy days together later on.
My Shepard pulls on leash I've tried a short lead,a harness and lost of frustration with it. She wants to please me any ideas?
Hi there I have an 8 week labradoodle pup who is doing great. Sleeping through the night, getting the hang of house and crate training.
I've also been socialising him by carrying him in a shoulder bag – odd bus/train ride, out to see traffic, into town etc etc. First few times he was totally fine. Last couple of times he has struggled in the bag and not been super happy about being out. Do I need to take it more slowly? Thinking of slowing down for a couple of days and concentrating on basic play and obedience, then trying again. Any advice gratefully received!
Unfortunately we struggled with this as our pup does not travel well and at 8 months we're still persisting trying to get her to walk nicely on a lead, and get her into the car without fear which is very long winded! So much as we want to socialise we are a little bit limited though we do our best!
Sounds like an idyllic world to me…………..I have found that most pubs, fetes, shopping malls etc do not allow dogs in!!!
That's a shame, we socialise all our puppies in the village pub, and I've never been to a fete that had rules about puppies in arms. Perhaps you've been unlucky. The kinds of shopping malls to carry puppies through are the open ended ones with lots of shops inside. You won't be allowed in a closed mall.
Sometimes socialise and traumatise are mixed up. i have seen so many people tell me they are socialising their puppy especially at the school gate and a the puppy is subjected to over handling and grabbing from the kids. People have a to remember socialising is a pleasurable experience and not being put in a situation which they have to tolerate.


Herpes of the eye, or ocular herpes, is a recurrent viral infection that is caused by the herpes simplex virus and is the most common infectious cause of corneal blindness in the United States. The herpes simplex virus is present in most humans and many people manifest the virus as fever blisters around the mouth. Why only some people develop herpes in the eye is unknown.
Ocular herpes can produce a painful sore on the eyelid or surface of the eye and cause inflammation of the cornea. Prompt treatment with antiviral medications helps to stop the herpes virus from multiplying and destroying epithelial cells. Repeated flare-ups can lead to significant scarring and possibly blindness. In some cases, a corneal transplant may be required by an Ocala Eye ophthalmologist.

Oh! Mikey
Oh! Mikey is the best thing to come out of Japanese comedy in years. Check this one: It's SO much funnier if you've actually been to a hostess bar/ kyabakura and know what they're talking about.
Invisible Target 男兒本色
Director Benny Chan Muk-Sing is sort of like the Michael Bay of Hong Kong cinema. I don't mean this as an insult, but he's really the go-to guy for big-budget HK actioners with explosions and crazy stunts. Most of the time, when it comes to action scenes, he seldom disappoints.
Nice article about my dad on The Star newspaper
Two days ago, just like every other mornings, I was having breakfast with my parents. As usual, I was flipping through The Star while eating. My daily newspaper reading routine is like the following: 1) Start with The Star. Begin from the Sports section, then to the international news section, before checking out the headlines, and then finally reading Section 2, which would usually cover the entertainment articles. 2) Throw The Star aside, pick up the entertainment section of Sin Chew Daily, a Chinese paper to read the latest celebrity gossip. 3) Put that entertainment section of Sin Chew Daily aside, and check out the entertainment section in China Press, another Chinese paper for things left out by Sin Chew. But anyway, I was reading through the entertainment sections of The Star before something caught my eye. My dad's name. And also, a hideous photo of his that was taken probably during the late 80s or early 90s.
Serious Literary Fiction about Idols
I need help. I am writing a serious literary work about idols and wota. Someone please tell me suggestions for things they want to see in this. This is not a joke, I am a published author.
The Kind Old Man At The Train Station
(Photo by Nighthawk Photoworks ) Two nights ago, after finishing a shoot, I went to a KTM train station to take a train home. It was nine thirty and the ticket counter was closed, so I could only buy my tickets through either one of the two ticket vending machines.
Ridiculous 'Soaring' Photo of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe
Taken outside Kichijoji Station. Here's what he usually looks like:
Traffic Accidents Are Morbid.
It is currently 3:14AM. There will be a TV movie shoot tomorrow. I'm involved as production manager/ assistant director... hence the lack of updates. Right now, I am cutting newspaper articles of ghastly traffic accidents. It's for a prop. This is very morbid.

Java used to be a favored vulnerability target for cybercriminals. However, in recent years that has not been the case. The now-fixed Java zero-day that was used in the Pawn Storm campaign was, in fact, the first time in nearly two years that a zero-day had been found and reported in Java.
This can be attributed, in part, to stepped up security measures for Java. As Oracle notes on the Java home page itself, out of date Java plugins are now disabled by major browsers. In addition, Java 7 Update 51 (released in January 2014) tightened the rules on what kind of applets could be run. By default, self-signed and unsigned applets (the ones most likely to be used by attackers) would not run by default in browsers. JRE also has click-to-play protection for all applet (signed and unsigned). Taken together, these have made Java a far less attractive platform for attackers.
Now that the Java zero-day (designated as CVE-2015-2590) has been patched, we can talk about some more technical details. This exploit has two components: one bypasses the click-to-play protection in Java. We will not disclose this portion of the vulnerability, but we can discuss the other component. As we noted earlier, this has now been fixed in the newest Java version (Java 8 Update 51).
Java provides a class ObjectInputStream to deserialize buffers to objects. The buffer (which is to be deserialized) contains the object's class information and filed data. More details about this class can be found in the Official Java documentation.
In Figure 1, the objects in the serialized objects buffer will be desterilized. During the process, Object A can intercept the desterilized process with an overriding function (for example, readResolve). In the function, the attacker coder can return to other object with other class which are not in the serialized object buffer (see the red word in F.1) to overwrite the original private field. In most cases, JRE can find it and raise exception. But if the objects, which are the outer objects of A, are crafted and overload readObject function to raise "Class Not Found " exception. The vulnerability will trigger. In one words, the vulnerability give attacker a way to change directly one deserialized object 's private filed with class type which is not in the stream buffer.
How does an attack proceed?
In the above figure, the rar variable is a reference to the AtomicReferenceArray object which is deserialized and the AtomicReferenceArray object's array references the array variable. Help is a subclass of the ClassLoader class. In other words the array variable control the AtomicReferenceArray object's private field array.
Next, the attacker gets a current ClassLoader object.
The rar variable's element is set to the acquired ClassLoader Object. (The attacker uses an index of 0.) Because rar.array is a reference to the Helper array, the real object of array is changed.
An attacker can use this access to define a privileged class and close SecurityManager. This allows the attacker to run their malicious code. One can ask why the attacker didn't use the AtomicReferenceArray public API to get the field array's content? This is because the JRE will check whether the type's element is correct for the type that it is to be cast to.
Overall, the steps necessary to perform this exploit are similar to other previous exploits. For example, CVE-2012-0507 used a similar technique many years ago.
Because of the severity of this vulnerability, we highly recommend that Java users update to the latest version.

Q: Gradient of a radial function at the origin Let $C_{c,r}^\infty(\mathbb{R}^3)$ denote the smooth functions $f: \mathbb{R}^3 \to \mathbb{R} $ such that $f(x) = f(|x| e_1)$. My lecture notes say that $\nabla f(0) = 0$. Why is that?

A: The hypotheses imply that $f(x)=f(-x).$ Thus
$$D_k f(x)= D_k f(-x)(-1).$$
If $x=0,$ then we have $D_k f(0)= -D_k f(0).$ Thus $D_k f(0)=0.$ This is true for every $k,$ giving the result.

A: In general, $f'(0)$ does not exist.
In some special cases where $f'(0)$ exists, [for example $f(\vec{x})=0$], the derivative can only be $0$.

With great success the CEFIcis system has been put into service in four production plants belonging to Cementos Pórtland Valderrivas at Morata de Tajuña (Madrid), Alcalá de Guadaira (Sevilla), Olazagutía (Navarra) and Ventas de Baños (Palencia). This "Sistema Corporativo de Información" (Corporate Information System) stores data in real-time from the existing different control systems installed in the plants controlling process and managing environmental impact, quality, energy and sales. At the same time the system provides the means for remote observation of the plants in real-time, automatic production of reports and control documentation, provides access to historical data in order to facilitate optimisation of processes and, by virtue of an integration module specially developed for the purpose, serves as an automatic source of data for the SAP ERP system. The system has been based on the family of software tools for industrial application by Proficy of GEFanuc.
Given the success of this project, the client has communicated his intent to extend the system to the nine UNILAND Group plants recently acquired by CPV, which are situated in Spain, Tunis, Argentina and Uruguay, and also in the three CPV plants located in the U.S.A.
