MTS President's Letter - April
Last month you heard from our new Executive Director Chris Ostrander. Let me also welcome him aboard. With Chris' background I am confident he is the right individual to lead MTS as we navigate in new directions. Thank you to Justin Manley, President Elect, who led the extensive selection process. Justin convened the first panel made up of a subset of the Board and Kristina Norman (acting Director during the interim) to down select the candidates to the top three. The top three candidates then interviewed with a panel comprised of Justin, Kristina and the remainder of the Board. Kristina led the interview of each of the candidates with the MTS HQ team. The top three candidates had one-on-one interviews with three MTS members in leadership positions. Thank you to Laurie Jugan, Fernando Hernandez and Larry Hagstrom for their assistances. The full board then reviewed the results of the 2 panels, the staff interviews, and the one-on-one interviews. The board did not come to a decision as all of the candidates were highly competitive. The board prepared an additional set of topics to discuss with the candidates. To address the topics, Justin conducted another conversation with each of the candidates. Justin also talked with 3 references for each candidate – a superior, a peer and a subordinate. The board met a second time and, after considering all the information, selected Chris. My sincere appreciation to the highly competitive candidates who applied; Justin's leadership; and the efforts of Kristina, the Board, Laurie, Fernando and Larry.
Announcement to Society Members on the Joint Venture Agreement Between MTS and SUT
Over the past few years SUT and MTS have begun work to strengthen our collaboration with the goal of enhancing services and benefits to our members. You've likely seen the early outcomes of that collaboration—shared publications between the Societies, offering of professional certifications for marine technologists and marine scientists, and launch of the joint Captain Don Walsh Award for Ocean Exploration.
To support further enhancement of services to the collective membership and to help secure greater visibility for both Societies within the global marine science and technology community, MTS and SUT have entered into a formal Contractual Joint Venture agreement. The agreement solidifies existing collaborations and sets a framework for continued collaboration and partnership, in concert with the individual governance of both societies.

A Good Hurt
David Bersell
The night I met Katie, at a college party, she lifted up her shirt to her ribs and showed me the Boston Red Sox tattoo on her side. The red B pulsed, outlined by navy and the super white of fresh paper. American flag snapping. The elements of our bodies.
She said her father took her to games at Fenway Park when she was a child.
She had a cardboard cutout of her favorite player, David Ortiz, in her living room and wore t-shirts with names and numbers on the back, and we drank beers in front of the TV, we were so shy, and sometimes we drank too much and sometimes we lied, but in the morning we walked her dog to the river, the wet sand, and took turns throwing the tennis ball as far as we could until our shoulders ached, like that time my brother and I cleaned up all the fallen crabapples that had rotted behind our house by heaving them at the tree line, and we heard the fruit pop against the bark and saw the pulp explode and cut like light.
It was fall, my first time, and I held myself over Katie, my forearms shaking, the sheets damp in their coolness. In the dark, her tattoo glowed slick, red, white, and blue, and I told myself she loved baseball and even though I no longer cared about sports, I could remember. I could learn to love her because we knew how to follow the flash off the crack of the bat and how games could go on forever and balls and strikes led to outs and who won and who lost. I knew it was a young ecstatic thought, but I wanted it more than anything.
My father brought me to Fenway, too.
My shoulders throbbed as I brought my face to hers and said okay. We were a boat untethered. We were cotton candy, a toothache, a good hurt. The light spread from her side to the edge of the bed and the carpet and rose up the walls like morning. I reached out my hand to catch it, to make it real.
David Bersell's essays have appeared in Ploughshares, Carolina Review, The Rumpus and more.

I went through the strenuous process of bleaching my hair from dark brunette to ash blonde and I am still going. I take a few months break in between sessions and look after my hair as well as I can but bleach will still do damage to your hair no matter what.
Looking for something indulgent to mask my hair in, I stumbled on the Palmers hair products. I already LOVE their leave in conditioner, without it I can't detangle my bleached hair AT ALL. I saw this protein pack and decided to give it a go and my was I surprised. It packs one hell of a moisture punch and my hair actually felt all snotty upon rinsing…which I love cause it means my hair will be silky smooth after. I recommend this to anyone who needs a boost every now and then…and also, not to bleach your hair haha.
For a drugstore product, this has been a definite hit from the brand. It might be a tiny tube but you use so very little that it will still last really long. I only use it over my problem areas and not my entire face and let me just tell you that it does really cover all. It is a white cream-like liquid that applies clear on the skin. It gets absorbed into the skin quickly and does not feel greasy at all. It definitely smooths out my skin and my foundation looks much more full coverage and flawless with the use of this product. I used it on a very hot day and it did not melt off of my face or anything. It stayed in place all day long.
These nail polishes are fabulous and I love the colour selection especially the nudes and everyday colours. But the darker and more intense colours like the reds and greens stain the crap out of my nails. I have never been interested in using a base coat as it has never extended the wear of any of my polishes which I know could avoid this issue. But even removing these colours get the product everywhere and it really does stain very badly. The quality of the actual product though is very nice and I love the strange shape of the bottle. Something different. The price is also excellent!
I have never been a fan of liquid foundations as they are either too sheer in coverage, discolour during the day or settle into fine lines but let me tell you about this product! It is crazily affordable, has full coverage and can be layered and best of all, it has a dewy finish. I have dry skin but always use a setting powder to make my makeup last and that sometimes tend to make the foundation overly dry…not in this case. It still stays reasonably dewy and comfortable but doesn't budge all day. It is my perfect winter foundation and the shade is spot on! I have fair skin in winter and quite tanned in the summer and with this great price, I can have as many shades as I need. I have applied it using both a beauty sponge as well as a stippling brush and both work very well. I prefer the brush though for a more airbrushed finish. These are just as great as their concealers. I hope they come out with some illuminating/glowing primer sometime soon as well.
I have this product in 2 shades, the 50watt which is a warm toned golden champagne colour as well as the 90watt which is a cool toned rose gold, pinky colour. These are very finely milled so no chunky glitter flakes on your skin. They are extremely pigmented yet very flattering. They don't have much fallout and last on my skin for at least 8 hours. They are very affordable so you can have as many as you need and because they are so pigmented, you don't need to go in heavy which makes the product last so much longer. L.A Girl has been slaying it with their products lately and this is another win in my opinion! The packaging is very cute!
Dupe for a few products!
I have this in Brunette and I have been loving it. It is a definite dupe to the Anastasia Beverly hills brow or so I have heard as well as the Nyx Micro Brow Pencil which works really well but is about double the price. This is great to have as an alternative in my case. I use only pomades but when I don't have time to perfectly paint on my brows, this product works really well. It is not as soft as other brow pencils, which I prefer as I tend to overdraw my brows when they are too creamy. I want to try a few more shades as well. I say it is a definite "give it a try" product.

Wawrinka splits with long-time coach Norman
(Reuters) - Stan Wawrinka has split with his long-time coach Magnus Norman, the man who helped him win three Grand Slam titles, the Swiss player announced on Monday.
FILE PHOTO: Tennis - ATP 500 - Mexican Open - Princess Acapulco Stadium, Acapulco, Mexico - February 27, 2020 Switzerland's Stan Wawrinka during his quarter final match against Bulgaria's Grigor Dimitrov REUTERS/Henry Romero
Wawrinka posted a message on Instagram saying his eight-year alliance with the Swede was over.
"After eight great years together (Magnus Norman) and I have decided to part ways by mutual consent," Wawrinka, 35, said.
"We have had an amazingly strong, enjoyable and hugely successful partnership. We reached the height of this sport together and I want to thank him for helping me win everything that I could ever dreamt of winning."
While Wawrinka was always capable of strong results he lived very much in the shadow of Roger Federer until he beat Rafa Nadal in the Australian Open final in 2014.
It was only the second time since 2005 that a player outside the then 'big four' of Nadal, Federer, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray had won a Grand Slam title.
Wawrinka proved that was no flash in the pan by beating Djokovic in the 2015 French Open final and won his third Slam title at the 2016 U.S. Open, also beating Djokovic.
Under Norman's watchful eye Wawrinka broke into the world's top four, reaching number three in 2014.
"He's been a great coach, friend and mentor and will always be a dear friend. I want to publicly thank him for all his hard work dedication and commitment in making me a better player over the years," Wawrinka said.
"Winning three Grand Slams has been a life changing experience for me and I could not have done that without him."
Wawrinka, now ranked 17th in the world, is preparing for next week's French Open.

What is Herald Loomis vision dream about?
What is the theme of Joe Turner's Come and Gone?
What is the plot of Joe Turner's Come and Gone?
What is the origin of the title of the play Joe Turner's Come and Gone?
Has come and gone meaning?
Who is the main character in Joe Turner's Come and Gone?
Who is the shiny man in Joe Turner's Come and Gone?
What does Harold do with the knife at the end of Joe Turner's Come and Gone?
How does Bynum bind together?
Who wrote Joe Turner's Come and Gone?
When was Joe Turner's Come and Gone written?
How do I learn what I learned?
However, this act inspires Herald to have a vision, in which he imagines that he is looking back on his African ancestors who were transported to America, where they were forced into slavery.
Identity is the central theme in Joe Turner's Come and Gone. This is true of most of the individual characters in the play, but it is also true on a larger scale. In the wake of emancipation, African Americans throughout the United States are struggling to find their identities as free citizens.
Joe Turner's Come and Gone, set in 1917, is the story of Harold Loomis who returns to Pittsburgh in search of his wife. He is haunted by the memory of bounty hunter Joe Turner, the man who had illegally enslaved him. Loomis is unable to fully embrace or release the past.
Title. The original working title of the play was Mill Hand's Lunch Bucket, the title of a painting by Romare Bearden. The title Joe Turner's Come and Gone is a line from the refrain of "Joe Turner", an early blues song.
have come and gone Literally, to have already arrived at and then left a particular place. Ed had to leave early today, so yeah, he's already come and gone, but I can take a message.
Having been enslaved by Joe Turner for seven years, Loomis has completely lost his way in life. An odd man that dons an overcoat and hat in mid-August, Loomis is 32 years old and a displaced slave searching for his wife. In the end he finds his song, an independent, self-sufficient song that he can sing proudly.
He says goodbye to Martha and leaves. Mattie follows. Bynum realizes Loomis has become a shiny man. 1 Herald and Zonia Loomis come to stay at the boardinghouse.
Blood make you clean?" At this, he runs the knife across his chest and rubs his own blood on his face.
When Bynum came out of his vision, he had the power of the Binding Song, and was able to bind people together so that if they became separated they would be able to find each other.
August Wilson
Joe Turner's Come and Gone, play in two acts by August Wilson, performed in 1986 and published in 1988. Set in 1911, it is the third in Wilson's projected series of plays depicting African American life in each decade of the 20th century.
Originally performed by Wilson himself, How I Learned What I Learned is a heartfelt theatrical memoir—charting one man's journey of self-discovery through adversity, and what it means to be a black artist in America. …

If you are a poker enthusiast, you may have heard of the game of poker. While no one really knows when the game of poker began, most people believe that it was a combination of other card games. However, the word "Poker" was first attached to a cheating game by a man named Jonathan H. Green. He saw the game being played on a Mississippi riverboat and was intrigued. The game was described as a simple trick-taking game between two to four players, and the number of cards in a deck varied from ten to twenty.
In the early days of poker, players often contributed to the pot before the game began. This is called the ante. When a player bets, he or she is said to bet. The next player to act is said to call, and the person who matches the previous bettor's bet is said to have raised. A player may check before betting, but must ensure that no other player has acted before. The betting interval lasts until the last raise is made, or when all players have checked.
In the game of poker, players only place money into the pot voluntarily. When they are trying to bluff other players, they might place money into the pot in order to win more money. Chance is a big factor in poker games, but the decisions that players make are heavily influenced by psychology, probability, and game theory. When you're playing for money, it's best to know a little bit about the game of poker before playing for real.

What to Expect From a Casino


The extraordinary Jamaican sprinter Mrs Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce wasn't always a winner.
Indeed, at Jamaica's world-famous high school Boys' and Girls' Championships, Mrs Fraser-Pryce — unlike the bulk of Jamaica's track stars — did not capture the headlines.
And when she blasted out of the blocks and sped to victory in the 100 metres at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, China, she was for many watchers of track athletics a virtual unknown.
In that respect, the extraordinary accomplishments of Mrs Fraser-Pryce, as much as that of any other, have underlined the great strength of her coach, Mr Stephen Francis.
That capacity to help athletes achieve what, for many others, amounts to unsuspected potential makes Mr Francis one of the great sprint coaches of our time.
Recognition of her early vulnerabilities and the need to work hard have no doubt contributed to Mrs Fraser-Pryce's success down the years, to the point where she is now considered Jamaica's most successful female 100m runner of all time.
Even as Mr Usain Bolt captured the imagination of the world with his awesome talent and engaging personality, Mrs Fraser-Pryce concretised Jamaica's place in the forefront of women's sprinting globally; building on the outstanding work of such legends as Ms Merlene Ottey and Mrs Veronica Campbell Brown.
Short in stature, Mrs Fraser-Pryce blended a blazing start with lightning foot speed to earn the pet name "Pocket Rocket". At the height of her career, she not only showed off the kind of electrifying speed, which took her to the 2012 Olympic Gold medal in London in 10.75 seconds over 100 metres, but also physical strength, which took her to the 200m Olympic silver medal in London in 22.09 seconds.
Given her great talent and achievements on the track, Mrs Fraser Pryce could easily have lost touch with her roots and those who helped her along the way. Not so, she has remained humble, her feet solidly grounded.
"This day would not be possible without my village. As I stand here, I reflect on the resilience of a single mother, Maxine, who did the best she could with what she had. She made miracles out of the ordinary things. The generosity of my primary school teacher, Ms Edwards, at George Headley Primary, who gifted me my very first pair of spikes. This is why it is important to partner in the dreams of others; you never know what can happen.
Mrs Fraser-Pryce loves track athletics, which is why she has continued on after giving birth for the first time last year.
Such is her determination and will to succeed she may well achieve great heights in track yet again.
However, whether she does or not, we expect her to remain a beacon for all Jamaicans.
We are not aware if the criteria for deciding who gets a statue for performance is spelt out and documented, but of one thing we are sure, whatever the yardstick, Mrs Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce has the vote of all Jamaicans.

Research, Press Releases
Experimental Drug Blocks COVID-19 Viral Entry into Lung Cells
An experimental compound prevents the virus that causes 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) from entering human airway cells, a new study finds.
Posted online recently on the preprint server bioRxiv, the work revolves around the structure of SARS-CoV-2, the virus causing the current pandemic. This virus has on its surface a spike protein that can attach to angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), a protein on the surface of cells lining human lungs. Once attached, the spike pulls the virus close to a cell, which lets it fuse to it and enter it, and then hijack the cell's machinery to make copies of itself, researchers say.
For this reason, molecular biologists have sought to engineer forms of ACE2 that, instead of being woven onto the cell surface, float freely. They hoped that free-floating ACE2 could serve as a decoy that competes with the membrane-bound counterpart for the viral spike protein, thereby blocking virus entry.
Led by researchers at NYU Grossman School of Medicine, a new investigative effort made key changes to a free ACE2 molecule, and then fused one part of it to a piece of an antibody, an immune system protein, with the goal of strengthening its antiviral effect. The team calls their molecule an "ACE-2 microbody."
"In our tests, the ACE-2 microbody was about 10 times as effective at blocking virus entry as unmodified forms of ACE2 studied previously," says corresponding study author Nathaniel R. Landau, PhD, professor in the Department of Microbiology at NYU Langone Health. "We call our compound a microbody because, by using just the key parts of each protein, the drug molecule is smaller and potentially easier to make than versions made up of complete proteins."
The researchers caution that any signals of effectiveness for the experimental drug would need to be confirmed in animal studies, and then in human trials if appropriate.
Building on HIV Experience
To build the microbody, the study authors used a standard technique in molecular biology, which creates a "fusion protein" by building a DNA molecule in which two genes, each with instructions for a different protein, are linked. The linked genes are then introduced into a mammalian cell, which makes the hybrid protein from the hybrid instructions.
For the current work, the researchers started with the ectodomain of ACE2, the part of the protein that sticks out from a cell's surface and attaches to the viral spike protein. They changed the ectodomain's genetic code to swap out one amino acid building block, replacing a histidine at position 345 in the protein's structure with an alanine. The modification kept ACE-2 from interacting with angiotensin, a hormone that regulates blood pressure, its natural role and a possible source of side effects.
For the second piece of their fusion compound, the study authors used an Fc domain, the part of an antibody's structure that turns on other parts of the immune system when the antibody encounters an invading microbe. The team intentionally shortened the domain, however, to prevent off-target immune effects.
The team wanted the Fc domain on the microbody because such proteins form strong disulfide bonds when they encounter one other. The binding of two fusion proteins through their Fc domains creates a dimer, a stable structure that attaches more strongly to the virus because it now has two ACE2 ectodomains to cling to viral spikes, researchers say.
To determine how strongly their experimental drug could interact with the COVID-19 virus, the research team used a "pseudotyped" virus, a vital tool used in decades of HIV research. To make it, the authors started with HIV viruses, but removed the disease-causing part of their genetic material to make them safe to work with.
To these engineered viral particles the team then added the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, as well as a gene encoding the firefly protein luciferase.
Like the current coronavirus, the pseudotyped virus could infect cells by using the SARS-CoV-2 spike to attach to ACE-2. With the firefly gene included, cells infected by the test virus glowed, and glowed brighter the more viral particles they were infected with. By mixing the ACE-2 microbody with the pseudotyped virus, infecting cells, and then measuring the glow, the researchers could tell how well their new molecule blocked viral entry.
"An advantage of the study drug is that, by competing for the spike with the ACE2 membrane–bound receptor, infection is blocked before it can start," says first study author Takuya Tada, PhD, a postdoctoral scholar in Dr. Landau's lab. "Coronaviruses are quick to evolve around treatments, like therapeutic antibodies, that target one structural feature on the virus, but will have a harder time changing the entire first step by which they enter cells."
Along with Dr. Landau and Dr. Tada, other study authors from NYU Grossman School of Medicine were Kenneth Stapleford and Ramanjit Kaur. Also study authors were Chen Fan and Crina Nimigean in the Department of Anesthesiology at Weill Cornell Medical College, as well as Harry Gristick in the Division of Biology and Biological Engineering at California Institute of Technology. The work was funded by National Institutes of Health grants DA046100, AI122390, AI120898, and P01-AI38398-S1. The study has been submitted to a peer-reviewed journal, and is under consideration for publication.

Probe gets clearest glimpse yet of cosmic dawn

The Planck spacecraft has obtained its first peek at the afterglow of the big bang, revealing it in unprecedented detail. Its first map of the entire sky is set to be complete in about six months.
The European Space Agency spacecraft was launched into space on 14 May. It is observing the glow of hot gas from just 380,000 years after the big bang – about 13.73 billion years ago – called the cosmic microwave background.
The detailed properties of this background may contain hints of hidden extra dimensions or multiple universes, as well as providing clues to what caused a brief, early period of incredibly rapid cosmic expansion.
Planck began surveying the microwave background on 13 August, a few weeks after reaching its planned perch 1.5 million kilometres from Earth at a point called L2 and cooling its detectors to within 0.1 °C above absolute zero.
Now, the Planck team has released the probe's first image, an observational strip covering about 5 per cent of the sky.
Best yet
Slight variations in temperature from place to place in the early universe give the image its mottled appearance. "With a few per cent of the data in, you can see it's working well and delivering good stuff," says team member George Efstathiou of the University of Cambridge.
Planck is expected to provide the most detailed all-sky map of the cosmic microwave background yet, improving on the best current map, obtained by NASA's Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP), which launched in 2001.
Planck's detectors have more than 10 times the sensitivity of WMAP's, and about 2.5 times the angular resolution. "Every strip that Planck scans, we're getting data that is many, many times more sensitive than WMAP," Efstathiou told New Scientist.
Although Planck was only designed to observe the sky for 15 months, the team believes it could last for more than 30 months, based on new estimates of how long its coolant will last. The extra time will allow Planck to measure the radiation with even greater precision, since it will scan the entire sky four times – two more than originally planned.

The Truth Behind Puppy Mills and Backyard Breeders
By Shelby Hettler
Lead Image Source : ballykdy/Shutterstock
You're walking through the mall and look to the right to see a brightly lit store with a pen of puppies inside. You can't resist the urge to play with these adorable little animals so you walk inside to see not only a pen of puppies, but also walls lined with windows into little puppy cubbies. The store is full of purebred pups with big, round eyes – golden retrievers, basset hounds, spaniels, labs, bulldogs – the list goes on. What could be better than being surrounded by at least fifty tiny puppies? Seems like heaven right? Sadly, behind these beautiful, purebred dogs, is the much darker reality of puppy mills and backyard breeders.

While many people talk about this despicable treatment of the puppies, there are unseen victims of these breeders who should be mourned and advocated for as well. Because many die under their breeders or soon after, the mothers and fathers of these puppies suffer immensely at the hands of the dog breeding industry.
Breeders and puppy mills often keep the dogs in tiny wire and wood cages that hardly allow any room for movement. They are stacked on top of each other or bolted up walls to maximize profit by minimizing the amount of space needed to keep as many dogs as possible. Their cages are unsanitary, often getting caked in excrement. In some cases, animals are kept out year-round in all types of weather. In others, animals are kept in dark basements where they will never get to see the light of day or breathe fresh air.
In 2016, the Humane Society of the United States assisted officers in a puppy mill raid in Cabarrus County, North Carolina. They rescued almost 130 animals that were "crammed in unsafe and unsanitary conditions." The enclosures wered in bodily waste, the water bowls were dirty, and there wasn't enough food for these poor animals. One of the animals that they rescued was named B.B. She had never been outside before and had been overbred throughout her life. Now she can play in the sunlight, run around in the grass, and give love to an owner who loves her too.

Neglect goes hand-in-hand with the horrible living conditions that the bred dogs are subject to. Many dogs will never leave their cage, except for breeding. They are denied exercise, proper grooming, and socialization, which in combination with their unsanitary living conditions, makes for poor mental and physical health. These dogs suffer various infections, tumors, and malnutrition, in addition to the severe psychological stress that they endure.
Sadly, they are so neglected that these poor dogs usually do not receive any veterinary care for the various ailments that breeding causes them. There have been multiple cases of breeders who, after being ordered to seek medical attention for their dogs, have shot, poisoned, drowned, or used some other method to kill their dogs rather than paying for veterinary care.
Doris is one example of this terrible neglect. She was found in a field, most likely abandoned by her breeder once she no longer was profitable. Doris so weak and sick, that she couldn't even stand up. When rescuers took her to the vet, they found that she had multiple infections, tumors, liver and kidney issues, lumbar spine deterioration, and more. Despite her obviously very rough past, Doris still loves people and has been steadily recovering. Howl of a Dog says that she loves walking outside and describes her as "cheerful."
Overbreeding & Separation

One of the mother-specific horrors of the dog breeding industry is overbreeding. Mother dogs are bred as often as possible to increase profit, despite the stress that pregnancy causes to her body. Then the puppies are taken from their mother at a much too young age, which is not only detrimental to their health but also causes the mother and the puppies psychological distress.
When Nana was rescued at eight years old, veterinarians estimate that she had already been forced to give birth to around twelve or thirteen litters of puppies. She also had crumpled ears from a botched ear-cropping procedure, which left her in severe pain. Despite all that she had gone through, Nana was so ready to give love. She gladly accepted the love and care that she had always wanted. Once, she got surgery to fix her ears, Nana got to make up for the eight years that were taken from her by the dog breeding industry and finally was able to act like a dog.
The End of their Lives

When mother dogs can no longer reproduce, breeders usually kill or abandon their dogs. The dogs are only machines for creating puppies to them. Thus, when these dogs can no longer reproduce, they are viewed and treated as worthless. Some of the abandoned dogs die slow, painful deaths. Others may be rescued by a shelter; however, by then, their medical issues may be too severe to treat.
Opal was rescued with eight other dogs from a breeding farm. At six years old, she was suffering from neglect, malnutrition, various infections, among a variety of other health issues. Rather than treating her health issues, her breeder left her to die a slow and painful death. Fortunately, SOSD Singapore learned about the dogs and came to rescue them. Opal was so happy to be rescued and finally know what it's like to be loved, however, too much damage was already done to this sweet girl. She suffered from heart failure soon after being rescued and had to be put down.
What Can You Do
Federally there is only one law that regulates puppy mills: the Animal Welfare Act of 1966. This act doesn't provide much for protection for the dogs as breeders can breed as many dogs as they'd like and keep their dogs in tiny cages 24/7. The law is supposed to protect animals by securing them shelter, ventilation, sanitation, and veterinary care; however, these requirements are loosely enforced. Plus, according to the Humane Society of the United States, there are only one hundred USDA inspectors allocated for the approximately 2,500 USDA-licensed breeders across all fifty states. These inspectors also have to inspect other exploitative industries like zoos and animal testing labs so they hardly have time to enforce the AWA at every facility. Furthermore, 2,500 USDA-licensed breeders seem like a lot until you compare it to HSUS's estimation that there approximately 10,000 puppy mills in the U.S. Most dog breeders are unlicensed and thus, unregulated even according to the barest minimum of living standards. There are some puppy mill laws at the state level, but due to the number of breeders that don't sell to stores and instead sell their dogs directly online or through advertisements, these can still be difficult to enforce.
While it is very important to push for stronger regulations of dog breeding at a state and federal level, the best, most immediate way to help these animals is to not support dog breeders. Tell your friends and family the truth about what goes on in puppy mills and other breeding facilities. If you or someone you know wants a dog, adopt one from a shelter! There are so many pups that are in need of forever homes and are just as adorable as any dog you could get from a breeder. Eliminating support for this cruel industry is the best way to end the suffering of the millions of dogs who are neglected, abused, and exploited every year.
Let's take a stand against backyard breeders and puppy mills. Next time you see one of those dogs at a puppy store or in an online ad, remember all of these poor dogs and their stories. Don't support animal cruelty by choosing to adopt, not shop.
Sign this petition if you want puppy mills to be banned in all states! And make sure to contact your local state representative asking them to introduce a bill that will put an end to this cruelty in your state.

New Delhi, Aug 16 (KNS): Atal Bihari Vajpayee, former prime minister and BJP stalwart, passed away on Thursday. He was 93. Vajpayee was admitted to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences in June. Vajpayee, who had been ailing for long, retreated from active public life over the last decade following the deterioration of his health and remained restricted to his residence.
Top leaders who visited AIIMS earlier in the day to enquire about the health of Vajpayee include Vice President Venkaih Naidu, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, top BJP veteran and former Deputy Prime Minister L K Advani, Home Minister Rajnath Singh, Health Minister J P Nada, BJP president Amit Shah, Congress President Rahul Gandhi, National Conference President and Member Parliament Dr Farooq Abdullah and Environment Minister Harsh Vardhan.
Born in 1924 in Gwalior, Vajpayee became the first BJP Prime Minister to serve a full five-year term. He was first exposed to the political sphere during the Quit India movement in 1942. Within five years since then, he became a full-time RSS Pracharak and, due to his oratory skills, he soon became the face of the Jana Sangh (which is today known as the BJP).
His first stint as Prime Minister lasted only for 16 days (from May 16-31, 1996) and then again from March 19, 1998 to May 13, 2004.
Vajpayee, whose parliamentary experience spanned over four decades, had been a Member of Parliament since 1957. He was elected to the Lok Sabha ten times, and twice to the Rajya Sabha.
In late 1998 and early 1999, ex-PM Vajpayee tried to mend differences with Pakistan by pushing for a full-scale diplomatic peace process with its neighbour. With the historic inauguration of the Delhi-Lahore bus service in February 1999, Vajpayee initiated a new peace process aimed towards permanently resolving the Kashmir dispute and other conflicts with Pakistan.

The V 1, or 'Doodlebug' or 'Flying-bomb' got here into use in June 1944 and, including the V 2 Rocket, used to be Hitler's ultimate wish in face of the advancing Allied forces sweeping throughout Europe in the direction of Germany. Of the 8,000 that have been introduced in the first eighty days, a few 2,300 reached the London region the place they brought on extra dying and destruction to its inhabitants and constructions. because the entrance line moved eastwards, a few of the ground-based release ramps grew to become denied to the German forces and the modest variety of the missile intended that different technique of launching has to be thought of to proceed the hazard. An air-launching approach, using the Luftwaffe's Heinkel 111 bomber, was once built and operated via the newly shaped Kampfgeschwader devices. This posed a dramatic new possibility to the united kingdom as the V 1's potent variety used to be significantly elevated and it truly is cellular firing aspect provided a miles larger goal zone whilst fired from an plane flying over the North Sea. this can be the tale of the improvement and operation of this new kind of assault and in addition of the Allied response and defense-measures taken to lessen harm.

Social-contract theories postulate the prevention of civil war, the protection of natural rights, or the facilitation of collective self-determination as the state objective. Nationalist doctrines pursue the acquisition and safeguarding of territory as living space for a people, expansive authoritarian domination, the conquest and subjugation of other societies, and so forth. Rainer Bauböck 29 The club analogy can also be interpreted to mean that the respective state objectives need not pervade all areas of citizens' lives but must feature in each individual's hierarchy of values.
In addition, however, most religions have developed a universalist moral code that applies to outsiders and non-believers as well. The republican view of citizenship, as exemplified by Rousseau, does leave a sphere of intimacy and oikos intact, but it establishes a hierarchy of virtues, of which the political ones rank highest. Moreover, it prevents the development of a private yet also public sphere of civil society that is different from the state and outside its control. The interests of the individual are subordinated to those of the community.

Searching for tips that lead to a healthy lifestyle? Here are eight quick tips that can help you lead a healthy lifestyle.
When it comes to upholding a healthy lifestyle, there are so many rules, that it becomes exasperating to keep up. With our hectic schedules, roles, and responsibilities, it often hard to keep track of those do's and don'ts.
However, these simple and quick tips will help you maintain a healthy lifestyle.
We often forget to drink water at regular intervals even though our body is made up of 60% of water. Having a glass of water every day on an empty stomach in the morning will flush out the toxins and keep your system clean.
As we lose water through our bowel movements, sweat, and other ways, it is vital to stay hydrated. You can also take a variety of juices to keep yourself hydrated. Have a water bottle at your desk to keep you replenished.
Never skip a meal especially breakfast as it helps you kick start your day. Having a healthier and substantial breakfast is vital as more than 60% of our daily calorie limit is obtained from breakfast. Consume seasonal fruits and vegetables as part of your daily diet.
Furthermore, a study published in the Nutrition Journal,2014 found that a protein-packed breakfast helps in controlling cravings throughout the day. Likewise, it is equally important that you slowly cut down on processed or packaged food as they come with high salt content.
Avoiding oily, and sugary foods will also result in a healthy lifestyle. Instead of going for fried snacks, eat baked snacks or fruits every 2 or 3 hours to keep those cravings at bay.
Meditation is an excellent way to quieten the mind and calm your soul. It helps you to destress and collect your thoughts. Sit down and close your eyes and breathe in and out slowly for 10 to 15 minutes every day to fight off anxiety, improve your attention and to sleep better.
Meditation is well known for its calming effects and promotes healthy living. In addition to these benefits, regular meditation also keeps you happier.
Even though we like to be active all day, we are often confined to our desks. As sitting for more extended periods will affect your health and potentially harm you in the long run. Take a break and walk around your cubicle every two hours for 10 to 15 minutes. This walking will keep you alerted and refreshed.
Make walking a regular part of the routine as it comes with numerous benefits like burning calories, getting more oxygen in the system, reduce stress and so on.
Regular exercise is a brilliant way of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Exercise will help lower the risk of diseases, increase muscle and bone strength, lose weight and lengthen the life span. Exercising does not warrant any specific time; you can include them in your daily schedule.
For example, start walking for shorter distances, use the stairs instead of the elevator etc. Choose the exercises you want to do as time goes you will start enjoying them, and exercising will become your second nature.
Working long hours before a screen or if you are addicted to your smartphone, your sleep cycle will be affected. Lack of sleep will make you irritable, low on energy, drowsy and affect your memory. Sleep deprivation will give harmful effects in the long term.
So, it is crucial to have those eight hours of sleep for a healthy lifestyle and to rejuvenate your body.
A healthy lifestyle requires all types of nutrition, and with zero-carb diets on the rise, the effect is very much negative. Carbohydrates not only give energy they also give proteins and minerals required for the body to handle day to day activities.
Avoiding carbohydrates will lead to rapid loss of water weight, which is similarly often misunderstood as weight loss. Once again when carbohydrates become part of your diet, there will be a weight gain. The key to a healthy life is the consumption of a balanced diet with all types of nutrients.
When planning for a healthy lifestyle, it is always better to prepare for long-term goals rather than short ones. When you decide to live a healthy lifestyle, it will enable you to make better choices. At the same time, getting rid of bad habits such as smoking and drinking is also a must for a healthier lifestyle.
Adopting and regularly following these simple and quick tips will help you lead a healthy lifestyle. If you have some more extra quick tips, do share them in the comments below.
