Do Dogs Remember Their Mothers & Siblings?
Whether you bought your dog from a breeder or adopted them from a shelter, there's a good chance that it spent only a limited time with its biological family. Most dogs these days don't have a robust familial structure.
It's not like it was in the past when canines relied on a pack to survive. Nowadays, liters are broken up after only a couple of months of development. The puppies move to new families, and mothers move on.
In many cases, mothers have more liters to spread even more puppy love.
While that limited interaction might seem sad in the scope of human relationships, dogs don't seem to mind that separation that much.
They form brand-new packs with their owners and human family members!
Despite their seemingly elastic emotions, many owners wonder if they're capable of remembering mothers and siblings.
Canines are emotionally responsive and have a knack for identifying human faces. So, does that mean they have lingering memories of their biological family?
How Dogs Bond
Before we get into the science of things, how exactly do canines form lasting bonds? In the past, pack hierarchy was everything!
Dogs lived in roaming packs and relied on one another to stay safe. They did everything together, from hunting as a collective to sleeping close to one another.
Even to this day, wild canines show signs of a concrete bond between the dogs in the pack. Younger pups learn from the elders before doing everything they can to provide protection and safety.
But what about a domesticated dog?
It turns out that dogs create memories in many different ways. However, it's not in the same way that humans form bonds.
Limited Senses at Birth
You see, puppies are born blind and deaf. Not only that, but they have limited mobility.
While dogs eventually form those senses and learn to navigate the world, they rely on their mothers for survival during the first several weeks of life.
Contrary to popular belief, mothers are more than just milk machines! They groom their offspring, protect them from danger, and even teach them how to function.
It's pretty similar to what you see in a pack setting, providing some insight into what puppies genuinely think of their mothers.
From birth to about four weeks of age, the mother acts as the sole means of survival for newborns.
Humans can take the place of the maternal figure to some extent and help orphaned dogs grow up to be healthy dogs. However, there are several things that even the most well-meaning human cannot do.
The most obvious thing is nursing.
Sure, humans can feed young pups with a bottle, but it lacks the physical connection. Young puppies are directly against their mother's body, taking in her scent and heat.
Not only that, but female dogs produce unique pheromones that induce calm and a sense of safety.
It's one of the many reasons why puppies automatically flock to their mother in times of stress or potential danger. She simply makes them feel at ease.

Maternal Care
Mothers also provide warmth and help stimulate bodily functions. They lick the anogenital area to promote defecation and urination, which young pups cannot do on their own.
These acts of maternal care add up, creating a strong bond that many dogs will remember.
Because they're sharing that experience with littermates, many will have short-term memories of their siblings as well.
It's akin to those fond memories you have of childhood fun with your own siblings and parents.
Those first few weeks of life for a puppy are formative, and what they experience will shape them into the dog they become.
For this reason alone, the bond they share with their biological family matters. Even if the time they spend together is fleeting, it's vital to their overall development.
Do Dogs Remember Their Mother?
We know that young puppies learn to recognize and identify their mothers pretty quickly. That's evident with a simple observation. But how long do those memories last?
It turns out that dogs can remember their mothers for a surprisingly long time after separation. It's not just hearsay, either.
Studies with empirical evidence show that adult dogs can remember mothers for at least two years.
Dr. Peter G. Hepper from Queen's University in Belfast conducted a series of experiments to find answers.
He used many pure-breed dogs. They included Golden Labradors, Golden Retrievers, and German Shepherds.
During the first experiment, he sought to see how well younger puppies between four and five and a half weeks of age remembered their mothers after only 30 minutes.
84 Percent Recognized their Biological Mother
He started by placing the separated puppy in a middle of a room. On one end was its mother. On the other was a random female of the same age and breed.
About 84 percent of the puppies went to their biological mother.
Dr. Hepper repeated the test. But this time, he utilized scent rather than sight.
The scientist had the mothers sleep with towels for two nights to infuse them with natural smells and pheromones. Then, he placed it in a room along with the towel of another random female.
Once again, a majority of the pups gravitated towards the mother's towels. Around 82 percent spent more time with the towel with their mother's scent than the random one.
Those studies showed that puppies formed a quick and lasting bond with their mothers. But what about long-term memory?
Long Term Memory Experiment
Dr. Hepper repeated the experiments with a small group of mothers, including dogs from different breeds.
He specifically chose mother and child pairings separated when the puppy was between eight to 12 weeks old. Once the puppy hit the age of two years, he performed the same experiments.
Interestingly enough, over 75 percent of the dogs recognized their mother's scent. The study showed that dogs carry those memories of their mothers well into adulthood.
Upping the ante even further, Dr. Hepper conducted another experiment with different dog breeds. This time, he included dogs that hadn't seen their mothers for over five years.
Seven out of the eight dogs tested identified the towel that had their mother's scent.
The final experiment was on a much smaller scale, so we can't use the findings to make too many definitive statements. But the earlier studies are more than reliable enough to conclude that dogs can remember their mothers for at least two years after separation.
Do Mothers Remember Puppies?
Dr. Hepper's findings are pretty fascinating and give us some amazing insight into how dogs think. It shows that dogs can similarly form lasting bonds to humans and other emotionally driven animals.
So, what about mothers? Can they remember their children?
Mothers often give birth to multiple liters, which some could assume would muddy the waters a bit. Dr. Hepper performed the same scent-based test to find answers.
Like before, mothers were given a choice between towels scented with her liter and those infused with a random group of puppies.
They almost always chose the towels of their offspring. They can identify their children even after two years of separation and giving birth to other puppies in the intervening period.
Related: Why Mothers Sometimes Eat Their Puppies
What About Siblings?
The bond puppies have with siblings is also strong, as they share many of the same formative experiences. However, their memories aren't as long-lasting.
Dr. Hepper experimented with young puppies around the same time as his previous studies.
During these tests, he placed puppies in an enclosure with puppies of the same age, breed, and gender. The group had a mix of siblings and non-siblings.
About 67 percent of the time, the puppies showed signs of recognition with littermates.
Unfortunately, the same can't be said after two years of separation. Dogs don't recognize siblings in the same way as mothers.
It all comes down to how much time they spend together. The bond gets more robust if the siblings continue to live together into adulthood.
Canines that move to shelters often stick together for protection and comfort. It may continue if they are adopted into the same home.
However, experts aren't sure if that has to do with the biological connection or a bond that has to do more with the newer pack structure.
Either way, long-term separation tends to diminish the memories brothers and sisters have of one another. The bond dissolves, and dogs forget their litermates once they grow up.
Thanks to the work of Dr. Hepper and his associates at Queen's University Belfast, we no longer have to wonder about whether or not dogs remember their biological family members.
It's pretty clear that dogs have a pretty solid bond with their mothers and can remember them for at least a couple of years after separation.
Now, the matter of remembering and missing family members is an entirely different thing. If the human experience has anything to show, dogs do just fine without those biological ties.
They're perfectly content finding new family members to love and cherish. As long as you return the favor, your pup will have all the family they need with you by their side.

You can charge the most for a good or service when the perceived value of the product is highest. That is one of several reasons to get the money first. People never want to pay for a service after they've had an experience because they do not get anything after handing over their money. Without the dopamine rush of anticipatory pleasure, clients feel disappointed or even hustled in spite of the fact that you are merely following the terms of your agreement. Recall the feeling of paying a credit card bill for bygone fun. You don't want that credit card feeling to be his last impression of you.

Predators, pigs, and presidents
Bill Clinton, Bill Cosby, Donald Trump, Harvey Weinstein, Ronan Farrow, sexual assault
Tell me the difference between Harvey Weinstein and Bill Clinton.
One of them is rich, the other one got away with it.
Alright, tell me the difference between Harvey Weinstein and Donald Trump.
They both look like pigs, however unfair that comparison might be to those intelligent farm animals. Nevertheless, the orange-haired, bipedal politician got away with it. We will take a look at Trump's behavior in a little bit.
I honestly do not see how former president Clinton's treatment of women differs in kind from former film producer Weinstein's treatment of women. Clinton is more handsome than Weinstein, so he might say, "Well I had to fight them off." Yet that Clintonian response does not work so well. William Jefferson went to the White House, where he conducted what Bret Stephens calls a "consensual dalliance". I wonder how many of the girls Clinton's bodyguards brought his way in Little Rock considered themselves participants in a consensual dalliance?
The other guy, the film producer with the bigger paunch, did not rely on his security detail. He had other enablers to bring vulnerable young women to his hotel rooms, presumably to talk about film scripts and the like. Now he sits in prison for rape.
Acting the predator or pig toward women has never been acceptable behavior.
By now you may think, "Times were different in the 1980s and 90s. Enablers and others assumed they would cover for powerful people. Today we understand better how customary reticence affects women." Gloria Steinem, in an article about Clinton's so-called indiscretions, would argue, "boys will be skirt chasers, but they also can do a lot of good for women." Many of her New York Times readers accepted that! You win the day when people like you, think you're great, identify with you. Bill Clinton had a lot of friends who would speak for him.
In fact, acting the predator or pig toward women has never been acceptable behavior. For sex outside marriage, we have consensual sex. We call that an affair. We also have forcible sex. We call that rape. Between those two poles we have a full range of encounters we call bad dates, sexual assault, or regretted sex. Sometimes those are euphemisms for rape, other times not. Yet sexual assault has always been a crime. It did not become a crime after 2000, when we all woke and realized, "We shouldn't keep quiet about sexual assault anymore."
To reverse roles, suppose ugly President Weinstein raped Juanita Broaddrick, and charming, Hollywood Bill Clinton assaulted one of his aspiring actresses. What effects would these assaults have had on their careers? Would Clinton have gone to prison? Would Weinstein have gotten away with calling his victims 'trailer trash', as Clinton and his people did with Paula Jones? How, in the end, did President Clinton get away with it?
Suppose ugly President Weinstein raped Juanita Broaddrick, and charming, Hollywood Bill Clinton assaulted one of his aspiring actresses.
Let's return to President Trump's example. As with President Clinton, we all knew of his boorish, predatory, not to say criminal behavior toward women before he received enough votes to go to the White House. We might remember as well that Ronan Farrow published his New Yorker piece on Harvey Weinstein in October 2017, nine months after Trump's inauguration. The article brought Weinstein down, but not Trump. Why do we give presidents, or candidates for president, a pass, when we do not give people in the entertainment industry a pass?
One more example, to consider two entertainers and two politicians, lends balance. Bill Cosby, at age 82 serves a ten-year sentence in Pennsylvania's state penitentiary for rape. He says he expects to serve the full ten years, as he does not plan to grovel before his parole board. He must have thought, from time to time, that his behavior does not differ substantially from other, equally well-known figures who hold prestigious positions and titles, such as president and former president.
Kings put their pants on one leg at a time in the morning, just like the rest of us.
So we have to ask, why do we give presidents a pass? We know they do not deserve it. As the saying goes, kings and presidents "put their pants on one leg at a time in the morning, just like the rest of us." Certainly in a republic, we do not owe presidents more respect in these matters than any other citizen subject to law and custom.
We rightly protect presidents from legal proceedings while in office, so their political opponents cannot use judicial indictments to remove them from power. Removal from power must be a political process. Consequently we show no restraint toward presidents in politics, and never have.
By contrast, we look over matters that touch on sexual relations before presidents enter office, or in Clinton's case, while in office. Our emotional attachment to certain institutions, especially the presidency, signals us to think of our leader as something better than a pig. In that case, the emotional attachment has to go.

Girl Crush: Heather Walsh
By Liza Hawkins
Heather Walsh and I both began our blog endeavors a little over five years ago, and somehow stumbled across one another on Twitter, where we then became fast friends. Watching her blog baby (cool) progeny grow leaps and bounds has been just as entertaining as watching her three real life babies grow over time.
Heather lives in a world of chaos that involves a couple jobs, a few kids, a busy husband, and loads of fun and style. Her caring, patient, honest, no nonsense approach to life is a breath of fresh air in today's world, and it's one that this matter-of-fact, logical lady can certainly appreciate!
Give us the deets on your life and career…
The short version: I am a curator of stories, amateur photog, "big picture" architect, master of the conference call mute button, bedtime tickle monster, maker of the world's best French toast (according to my six-year-old), lovey-wrangler, lullaby lounge singer, cheerleader, dog feeder, homework helper, weeknight chef, social media junkie, $10-bottle-wine connoisseur, weekend edventurer, shop-local-advocate, Facebook analytics nerd who believes that life — like a margarita — is better with a little salt. Grit makes the fruit even sweeter.
The Wikipedia version: I'm the editor of (cool) progeny and an [email protected] strategist at The Weisse Group. I currently live in Timonium with my husband Patrick, six-year-old daughter, two-year-old son, nine-month-old daughter, two dogs, one cat, and two frogs my eldest daughter came home with after spending a week at the beach with her grandmother earlier this summer. My husband and I co-founded Little Lion Challenge, a non-profit that supports the families of children with complex medical issues by providing hospital care and comfort packages to families with children in Baltimore area neonatal and pediatric ICUs.
Who would you say have been your biggest role models?
Biggest role models? That's a tough one. Of course, every day that I'm a parent, I'm more awed by how my parents parented and the experiences they made possible for my brother, sister, and me — all while pursuing careers and creating the lifestyle they wanted for their family. So of course, they are the first to come to mind.
Really, I'm inspired every day by the people I meet. What I've found — and it really has been more profound after becoming a parent to a medically-complex child — is that you don't have to look very hard to see someone's faults. But if you ask authentically and really listen for a few minutes, you'll learn something that surprises you. Taking those bits of inspiration is far better than idolizing someone else. Nobody has it all figured out. We all have something figured out.
What do you love about your job or life?
Every day is different. I'm very lucky — I've been able to create a career around the lifestyle my husband and I wanted for our family, even being dealt some extraordinary circumstances. Some days I may only have a few hours 'in the office,' other days are long. It's anything but perfect. But it's perfectly crazy chaos that I get to control.
I can pop out of my home office at lunch everyday and check in with my kids (who are watched some wonderful caregivers while I'm working). When my two-year-old points to the chair across from him and asks me to sit and have lunch with him, I can (most days). And the days he insists on making lunch for me? As delicious as strawberry jelly bread with sliced pickles is, I can sneak a power bar later during my afternoon conference call.
What has brought or given you the greatest satisfaction or fulfillment?
Watching all three of my kids thrive. Our son spent over 100 days in the NICU, came home with a truckload of medical equipment/supplies and 24-hour nursing care. There were major lifestyle adjustments and obstacles to hurdle. When you're in the thick of a life crisis like that, you're constantly in reaction mode — making decisions based on the information you have at the time and hoping like hell no one is going to need more than a few sessions of therapy when they're older.
We've settled into a new normal that works for all five of us most days. While my husband and I may be a bit battered and bruised by the waves that have come at our family the past few years, both of us continue to be amazed by how generous, kind, funny, creative, smart, and devoted our kids are — in their own way — to one another, their friends, and their family. Hopefully, that's an indication that we're doing this parenting thing right more than 50% of the time.
One thing most people don't know about you?
I love live theatre and was your quintessential "gleek" growing up. Pretty sure my eldest daughter has caught the theatre bug, too. She just finished her first play and is already lobbying the director for a role next summer!
I also did public speaking competitions when I was in elementary and middle school (yes, they are a thing). But I was a TERRIBLE planner. So I would compete in the extemporaneous competition. You would walk in and the organizers would hand you a topic. You'd have thirty minutes to write a three-to-five minute speech and then give it in front of an audience and panel of judges.
Ironically, I was much less nervous public speaking that way than rehearsing a speech for days or weeks. Even now, when I give talks professionally, I usually just make notes and run through the narrative in my head a few times. As long as I'm comfortable with the material, I fly better off-the-cuff.
Got anything fun on your bucket list?
My husband, Patrick, and I met while we were both studying abroad in Italy — he was living in Rome and I was living in Florence. We definitely want to take the kids to visit when they're older and show them around. Ashamed to say I haven't flexed my Italian language skills further than ordering a latte in over a decade. They'll just come back, right?
When/where do you get your best ideas?
Seven years ago, I would have said the shower. It was the one place guaranteed to have no interruptions while I was sorting through a problem or brainstorming. But I have three kids under the age of 6, so that's definitely not the best place to think through anything anymore. I'm lucky if I get the conditioner out of my hair.
I do my best work around 5 a.m., before everyone else is up and it's just me, a cup of coffee with a splash of chocolate almond milk, and my laptop.
Three things you cannot live without?
My Day Designer planner (old school, I know). A really good reason to laugh until it hurts (kids are great for that). Coffee. High octane variety.
Oddest thing in your purse right now?
A convertible screwdriver.
Current fashion/beauty obsession?
I hate seeing summer end, but LOVE boot season. Bring on the leather + cozy sweaters. After I get back from the beach next week, though…

For anyone who's ever had difficulty swallowing pills, been allergic to dyes or preservatives, or simply needed a dosage not commonly available from manufacturers, pharmaceutical compounding can be an ideal solution. For that reason, compounding – the use of pure, active ingredients to create an individualized medication for a patient – is again gaining in popularity in the United States.
When health care providers order compounded prescriptions (and only licensed medical professionals can do so), specially trained pharmacists work with them to create medication customized to meet the patients' individual needs in terms of formulation, dosage and delivery system. The health care provider can then assess treatment results and alter the formulation as necessary going forward.
While unfamiliar to some, compounding has been around as long as pharmacy has been. Today, about 1 percent of the country's prescriptions are compounded. That sounds like a small number until you consider that billions of traditional prescriptions are filled in the United States each year. Almost any type of medication can be compounded into products such as topical formulations, preservative-free medications, sublingual dosage forms and children's dosages of adult prescriptions. Drug delivery methods include tablets, liquids, creams, suspensions and even medicated lollipops.
Some of the most common uses of compounding today are for women's health issues, pain management and dermatology. Compound medications for pediatric conditions, such as pediatric attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), are also commonly prescribed today. In each of these cases, small changes in dosage can have significant effects and drug manufacturers typically market only limited strengths of each product. With compounding, physicians can tailor dosage levels and modify the strength and how a medication is delivered as they monitor the results.
One of the major women's health treatments commonly prescribed as a compounded medication is bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (bHRT). Used to treat symptoms of declining estrogen levels such as hot flashes, sleeplessness and depression, bHRT is a compounded prescription that, coupled with nutritional and herbal supplements, can effectively address each individual woman's symptoms. Since women's hormonal issues are affected by a variety of factors including sleep, diet and thyroid health, a compounding pharmacist working closely with the patient and her clinician can provide options that will meet her personal needs.
Does that level of customization mean compounded medications are more expensive than manufacturers' brands? Not necessarily. Some compounded prescriptions actually cost less than the average insurance copay. A patient concerned about cost can always speak to a compounding pharmacist and learn about what to expect.
While frequently an option, compounding isn't appropriate for every prescription -manufacturers' products work well for many patients and conditions. But for the patient who is allergic to certain ingredients, or requires a different method of drug delivery or dosage than manufacturers offer, compounding pharmacies can provide an excellent alternative. A growing number of patients are finding that caring, personal service and customized pharmaceutical solutions can make a real difference.

Sports Direct unveils first-ever Christmas advert
By Danielle Wightman-Stone
Sports Direct has launched its first-ever Christmas advert in a bid to showcase what it calls its new and fresh, elevated brand positioning and rebrand for 2021.
The UK's biggest sports and fitness retailer has invested 5 million pounds into its 'Sports Starts Here' Christmas campaign, as it looks to demonstrate its "unique high street and online proposition, that caters for all sports and offers a dynamic range of iconic brands".
The advert, directed by award-winning director Henry Schofield, best known for directing Stormzy's Vossi Bop music video, follows a girl who is asked by her mum what she wants for Christmas, which leads to an exploration of different sports choreographed to a musical mash-up.
The film features a cameo from Liverpool Football Club's captain Jordan Henderson, who is seen being tackled by the female football player, as well as more than 100 "everyday athletes".
The campaign the retailer states marks a "new era" for the company and feeds into the brand's new purpose of "using the power of sport to champion the legend in everyone".
Sports Direct highlight new brand positioning with debut Christmas ad
Michael Murray, Sports Direct head of elevation, said in a statement: "The evolution of our brand is the final piece of our elevation strategy. This is just the start of things to come for the new look Sports Direct."
Beckie Stanion, Sports Direct chief marketing officer, added: "This is a hugely exciting time for the brand as it marks the first time consumers will be seeing our fresh new outlook via the TV and on social. We wanted to create something that truly captures our new strategy and purpose; championing the legend in everyone, no matter how skilled you are. This campaign does exactly that, which is why we wanted to bring on the UK's most creative minds and source real sport and fitness talent to bring our new narrative to life."
The TV ad will be aired in the UEFA Nations League, England vs Iceland game, I'm A Celebrity – Get Me Out Of Here! and Gogglebox via a series of 60, 30 and 10-second adverts. The retailer states that the campaign will reach more than 40 million people across the UK in the next month.
Sports Direct, owned by Mike Ashley, employs more than 20,000 staff and operates nearly 700 stores and 68 gyms.

Deputy Director of Safer Chemicals, Healthy Families
Jennifer Beals Leads Stroller Brigade for Safer Chemicals at U.S. Capitol
10/30/2013 05:14 pm ET Updated Dec 06, 2017
There is a certain mix of exhaustion and elation that comes after a long day on Capitol Hill. I can't help but feel inspired and motivated to keep going in the fight against toxic chemicals after Safer Chemicals, Healthy Families "Stroller Brigade."
I spent the day with Actor Jennifer Beals (from The L-Word and Flashdance), teachers from Maryland, a stay-at-home mother from Montana, environmental justice organizers from Texas, cancer survivors, and hundreds more as we marched our "Stroller Brigade" to Senator's offices.
People from all walks of life took time off of work, away from their families and traveled to D.C. for a shared common goal: to ask Congress for leadership on meaningful laws on toxic chemicals.
Current law is a joke
Even though we have a federal law on chemicals, it does virtually nothing to protect your family from toxic chemicals in the products we buy, and the places we live, play and work.
In fact, earlier this month our federal law, the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), turned 37 years old. And unlike the other environmental laws that passed in the 1970s, TSCA is the only one never to be updated and authorized.
The problem is we know a lot more about chemicals, their health effects and how they behave then we did back in the 1970s.
Enter parent activism
In response, hundreds of people from all walks of life gathered at the Capitol this week to ask Congress to do something about this important issue. There has been movement to update our laws, but the bill before the Senate - the Chemical Safety Improvement Act -- as drafted, doesn't adequately protect public health from toxic chemicals.
Over 80 Congressional offices heard our message -- we want reform of our federal laws on toxic chemicals to be meaningful and real. We want reform to protect pregnant women, children and vulnerable communities. It's really quite simple.
What good is it if we pass a law that is as bad as the one already on the books?
Jennifer Beals speaks up
Jennifer Beals, actor, mother and advocate, was a hit with the crowd. She spoke from the heart and shared her frustrations with the status quo.
Like many of you, I started my journey in the quest for strong laws on toxic chemicals because quite simply I am a mother and I am tired of feeling like I have to have a PhD in toxicology in order to be a competent parent. I am tired of being a detective, hunting the Internet for clues as to what product is safe and what product is not safe and why.
The chemical industry may have well-dressed lobbyists hitting the Hill daily, but when hundreds of parents come together to speak up about an issue as important as protecting our families from toxic chemicals, Congress listens.
The movement and wave of activism that is coming from all corners of the country is a force to be reckoned with. This group isn't going to sit down either. The Stroller Brigades will continue in everyone's home state.
So watch out Congress: until real reform happens, we're going to keep fighting, and our movement will continue to grow.

Q: Why illegal structure operation in const pointer? Why do I have to add & in cout clause while using const pointer. I'm in the code below. And if I don't add & clause it says illegal structure operation.
int Marks [10]= {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0};
// Create a constant pointer to Marks array
const int* pMarks = Marks;
for (int i = 0, bytes = 0; i < 10; ++i, bytes += 4)
{
  cout <<  "Element " << i << ": " << pMarks <<" + ";
  cout <<  bytes << " bytes" << " = " << (pMarks + i) << endl; // that & is required before (pMarks + i)
}

I want my output would be something like this:
stdout:
Element 0: 0x7fff1d26d6c0 + 0 bytes = 0x7fff1d26d6c0
Element 1: 0x7fff1d26d6c0 + 4 bytes = 0x7fff1d26d6c4
Element 2: 0x7fff1d26d6c0 + 8 bytes = 0x7fff1d26d6c8
Element 3: 0x7fff1d26d6c0 + 12 bytes = 0x7fff1d26d6cc
Element 4: 0x7fff1d26d6c0 + 16 bytes = 0x7fff1d26d6d0
Element 5: 0x7fff1d26d6c0 + 20 bytes = 0x7fff1d26d6d4
Element 6: 0x7fff1d26d6c0 + 24 bytes = 0x7fff1d26d6d8
Element 7: 0x7fff1d26d6c0 + 28 bytes = 0x7fff1d26d6dc
Element 8: 0x7fff1d26d6c0 + 32 bytes = 0x7fff1d26d6e0

A: What about
cout <<  bytes << " bytes" << " = " <<*(pMarks + i) << endl;

Otherwise you would be passing the address from pMarks + i.

Rembrandt – Interesting Facts You May Not Know
A famous Dutch painter, printmaker, and draughtsman, Rembrandt Van Rijn – more commonly referred to as Rembrandt – is widely recognized not only as one of the most prolific visual artists of his time but also an exceptional storyteller due to his historical pieces remarkable talent in rendering individuals in their dramatic moods and various guises. Some would even put him in the same league as Van Gogh. Known for his famous paintings like the Night Watch and the Return of the Prodigal Son, his style favored an inflexible and uncompromising realism to his oeuvre, leading some to believe that he was inclined to ugliness more so than beauty. In this article, we will discuss some interesting facts surrounding the artist that you may not know. Keep reading to find out more.
1. He used his own Latin monogram to sign his early pieces
Early during his career as an artist, Rembrandt used to sign his pieces with RHL, the Latin monogram of his name, Rembrandts Hermanni Leydensis. It referred to his place of birth, Leiden, and may have stemmed from his time as a student in Holland's Latin school where he had studied mythology, religion, and conversed with his peers in the language. He began to use RHL van Rijn shortly after before switching to Rembrandt, turning it into his most popular moniker, Rembrandt
2. He married the cousin of Hendrik van Uylenburgh
Hendrik van Uylenburgh, the art dealer of Rembrandt, was primarily responsible for aiding the artist in securing sizable commissions from his wealthy patrons. He lived in the art dealer's Amsterdam house as he painted the portraits of the people who Hendrik had brought him. Rembrandt married his cousin, Saskia van Uylenburgh. With his increasing salary and his wife's family fortune, the couple moved to an affluent and trendy Amsterdam neighborhood after they were wed.
3. He dealt with many losses in his life
The artist had dealt with a lot of loss in his lifetime. Not only did his wife die months after his fourth child, Titus, was born – who happened to be the only one to live through his infancy but later passed in his mid-twenties. But his lover and housekeeper, Hendrickje Stoffels, had also died in 1663. Rembrandt passed away in 1668, the year after his son, Titus, had died, and was buried in a grave that was unmarked.
4. He achieved a lot of wealth but lost everything
While Rembrandt's wife was wealthy, he himself was able to accrue a lot of wealth thanks in no small part to his artwork. However, due to his overspending, he eventually lost most of his riches and couldn't even afford to take care of the mortgage. After declaring insolvency in 1956, he moved the entire family to a much smaller home, auctioning off his art collection in the process.
No one can deny that Rembrandt was a colossus of visual art. He possessed a unique style that continues to inspire many aspiring artists to this day. With his impeccable pieces and peerless talent, he remains to be one of the greatest artists who have ever lived.

Insurance E-Mart: If I have comprehensive medical insurance cover, do I still need a insurance policy with major illness protection?
If I have comprehensive medical insurance cover, do I still need a insurance policy with major illness protection?
Some people think think that as long as they have medical insurance cover, they do not need to purchase any insurance plan with critical illness cover. You may want to revisit and reconsider if you have the same thinking. The purpose of the two is distinct.
A comprehensive Medical Insurance cover (such as a upgraded as-charged shield plan with rider to cover deductibles and co-insurance) is mainly for the purpose of paying for medical bills.
Depending on companies and plans, there may be some form of daily hospital cash benefit if you select a lower ward or hospital that you are eligible for.
A Major Illness (or Critical Illness) cover is mainly for the purpose of income replacement should a person not be able to work either temporarily or permanently due to the illness. It is also for paying any added expenses that may arise from the illness, this could be in the form of having to visit hospitals regularly for treatments and having to take a cab instead of the bus when making such trips.
Hence, even if you have a comprehensive medical insurance to take care of all medical expenses, you may still need a major illness cover if you want to ensure that you replace your income and is able to pay for any added expenses that may arise.
You can cover comprehensive medical insurance with the help of affluent training, but we still need a insurance policy. Mass affluent training must be required to fulfill the other planning requirement. Medical insurance to take care of all medical expenses.

Home UiO The Faculty of Theology
UiO UiO University of Oslo The Faculty of Theology
Why choose this PhD programme?
Study and research abroad
Thesis, evaluation and public defence
Research > PhD > Supervision
Supervision - PhD
The PhD candidate's supervisor is responsible for supervising and monitoring the candidate during the PhD programme. The faculty appoints a supervisor and enters into a contract with an external supervisor. The supervisory relationship is regulated by a contract and ethical guidelines.
How and when do I get a supervisor?
The applicant submits an application without formal affiliation with a supervisor and without approval from a supervisor. Upon appointment as a doctoral research fellow/admission as a PhD candidate, the faculty will appoint a main supervisor. The main supervisor will normally be a faculty employee. Awarding of grants and admission to the PhD programme are dependent on the faculty having the supervisory competence and capacity in the field of the applicant's thesis.
The co-supervisor is appointed when the project is of such an interdisciplinary character that this is deemed necessary. If a PhD candidate and main supervisor determine that there is such a need, a request for appointment will be submitted to the research adviser and the PhD leader together with a CV, start date and estimated distribution of supervision hours. The research adviser will draw up a letter of appointment and an agreement between the co-supervisor and the faculty. An agreement can also be entered into with an external co-supervisor, but it is important to note that no additional funds are normally allocated for this. The question of remuneration of an external supervisor must therefore be clarified before any agreement can be concluded.
Supervisors will either be a professor or will hold a doctoral degree/equivalent qualification.
Scope of the supervision
180 hours of work are the recommended norm for doctoral supervision (includes supervisors' preparatory work and follow-up).
Supervision hours are distributed between the main supervisor and co-supervisor according to the agreement between the parties and the unit.
The scope of the supervision will normally vary throughout the different phases of the PhD period.
Expectations regarding supervision
When the candidate and supervisor sign the admission agreement, they also enter into a mutually-binding contract. The admission agreement stipulates the following with regard to the supervisory relationship:
The candidate and the supervisor have a mutual obligation to keep each other informed of all circumstances of significance to the implementation of the supervision.
The supervisor's role includes the following:
providing the candidate with academic advice and assisting with the practical planning of the work so that the project can be carried out within the framework of the PhD education
assisting the candidate in formulating and defining the topic and area of focus
briefing the candidate in academic literature and data sources (library, archives etc.)
helping to introduce the candidate to relevant academic environments
staying up to date with the progress of the candidate's work and assessing it in relation to the work plan
advising the candidate on research ethics questions relating to the thesis
taking the initiative to discuss with the candidate how the supervision will take place
complying with the ethical guidelines for supervisors at the University of Oslo
Doctoral candidates shall:
plan the work such that the project can be carried out within the framework of the doctoral education
present reports or a draft of all or parts of the thesis to the supervisor at least every six months, unless otherwise agreed with the supervisor - parts of the thesis can be presented in a seminar or tutorial group.
comply with the agreements entered into with the supervisor regarding delivery, supervision, participation in seminars etc.
comply with research ethics principles for their subject area
Changes to the supervisory relationship
The research adviser must be notified of any changes to the supervisory relationship, or appointment of a new supervisor or co-supervisor. Either a dedicated supervisor agreement must be drawn up or changes must be introduced into the existing admission agreement and sent to the parties for signing.
Change of supervisor
If a doctoral candidate or supervisor believes that the other party is not fulfilling its obligations, the party claiming a breach must raise the matter with the other party. The candidate and the supervisor must jointly try to find a solution to the situation that has arisen. Any request to be released from the supervision agreement must be addressed to the faculty. The decision to release the doctoral candidate and the supervisor from the supervisory agreement will be made by the Programme Council for the PhD education.
It is important not to let a poorly functioning supervisory relationship continue for a long period of time. How the supervision ought to work should be covered in a meeting between the supervisor and the candidate. If the supervision does not function satisfactorily, either for the supervisor or the candidate, the matter should be taken up directly with the other party. If the relationship makes this difficult, you should contact the PhD leader. The PhD leader has a clearly-defined ombudsman function in relation to all candidates on the programme. Discussions on progress with the PhD leader and annual reports from the candidate and the supervisor should help to ensure that the quality of supervision is adequate.
Joint supervision agreements (cotutelle)
A joint supervision agreement can be entered into with an institution abroad, which entails supervision and a stay at both institutions. Either the doctoral candidate or the supervisor can initiate such an agreement and establish contact with the partner institution. The faculty management will decide whether such agreements may be entered into.

Paintballing: The ultimate guide
Paintball has emerged as one of the most popular and fun outdoor activities which is just perfect for a group. It has grown tremendously in popularity as people from nearly every age group have tried this high adrenaline outdoor sport. And those who haven't played yet are eager to try their hands at this dynamic sport.
Basic Overview of Paintballing Days
Paintballing days can be found in all sizes and shapes. You are not likely to experience any difficulty in locating a paintball centre because they are so popular that they can be found in almost all corners of the country. Some of them are set in abandoned farms, in wooded areas and similar territory as these make for exciting venues.
Even though it is a sport which is meant to be played in teams, it doesn't mean that you cannot turn up at the venue alone. You will be asked to join a team and will be given the required gear which usually consists of a paintball gun, overalls, ammunition, goggles and a mask. You may be allowed to wear your own gear, but you may have to enquire regarding the same with the venue.
However, having your own gear doesn't mean that you can play paintball with your lads in your own backyard. A paintball marker is considered an airgun in the UK, which means that you can own one, but it can only be used on private land. If you have a craving to play this sport, an organised paintball centre is the best place to go.
You may experience jitters, if you have no prior experience of playing this sport. A good place to start would be to familiarise yourself with the paintball gear. Understand how the paintball gun works and then you can proceed to understanding the basic rules.
Now you may wonder, why are there rules when it is not a competitive sport, but these rules are necessary to keep the game safe and fun for all players. Initially, you may be worried about getting hurt by a paintball shot but with the right gear and knowledge of how to use it, you are sure to experience more fun than pain in the game. It must be remembered that failure to play by the rules can get you penalised and disqualified.
Different paintball centres have different game objectives. Some require their players to eliminate each other, whilst some may ask you to capture a flag or rescue hostages. Before the game begins, the instructors will brief you regarding the game rules and you must understand them properly.
For example, if you are playing a game wherein you are required to capture flags, you may have to step into enemy territory, locate the flags and bring them back to your hideout without getting hit. A time limit is usually set on the game.
As this game is physically demanding and involves a lot of running around, it is unlikely that the time limit will be as high as a few hours. Long games may not be suitable for players that like to launch an assault from the beginning of a game and beginners.
Team Must Be Balanced
People who have prior experience of playing paintball definitely have an advantage over first-timers. Each team must have a healthy balance of experienced and inexperienced players. This equality is needed to make the game fun.
Each team may have its own uniform or an accessory which differentiates them from the other team such as tapes or bands. It is necessary as one cannot rely on memory because when each player is clad in paintball gear, telling them apart may not be such an easy task after all.
For the game to work well, each player must know how exactly one and keep track of who is 'out' during the game. As you may have already guessed, a player is said to be eliminated when he or she is hit by a paintball shot. It is quite noticeable as it leaves a visible mark of paint on the vest.
The exact definition of elimination may vary between different paintball centres as some games consider a player to be 'out' when they have multiple hits on their other body parts such as the arms. Usually, hits on parts of the body, clothing, or any other gear that a player is wearing disqualifies a player from playing further into the game. Hits made on paintball markers, backpack, pod or flag also lead to elimination.
Also, when a ball breaks on one player but the paint splashes on to another player, the other player will not be eliminated. If it is the first time that you will be on a paintball arena, you should cover yourself with protective gear properly to reduce the chance of a ball breaking on you. Even though most paintball centres provide overalls, it would be a good idea to wear some padding underneath.
The area outside the paintball battlefield where players are sent after they are eliminated is known as the dead zone. This is also the area where extra gear and paint are left. It is generally located far from the field where all the action takes place to avoid being hit by opponents. In this area, eliminated players can create strategies for the next round.
Most paintball games allow players to surrender. If you have come close enough to an opponent, say at a distance of 10 to 15 feet, you can give them the option to surrender. You may shoot them if they do not respond fast enough. However, most games do not allow you to make headshots or multiple shots.
These rules have been created because being hit at close range by a paintball can really hurt. Players which continue to play after being hit will be penalised and in extreme situations they can even be banned from playing at a paintball centre.
Paintball is an activity which is fun enough to engage big groups, which makes it an ideal activity for stag and hen parties, corporate day out and also family get-togethers.
Top Alternative Anime Sites to KissAnime
KissAnime has made advances in the collection of various genres in the category of Anime videos. Also, it is considered as a portal from where anyone can access shows related to Anime. Any time means any time round the clock, seven days in a week. Main attributes of this site consist of user-friendliness, highly organized, well managed, synchronization of shows on smart cellular devices, and high resolution.
Besides that, Kiss Anime is that website which has a massive collection of complete seasons of the shows. The site also has features that make it unique. One of them is about dubbed English cartoons which give non-natives an edge to enjoy the shows. In addition to it, if you don't find a specific show on the website, then you can actually place a request to arrange. Since the high-quality videos are of 720 pixels, it creates crystal clear impact.
However, there are many alternatives of KissAnime. Some of the best ones are listed below.
Chia Anime
AnimeFreak
AnimeLab
Kuroani
AnimeNova
AnimeHeaven
Now that we know the names of the best alternatives to KissAnime, it is time to discuss them separately so that you can know further about the sites.
Just like KissAnime, Chia Anime also facilitates with free online streaming of Anime videos. There is a huge variety of videos, movies, and shows that are dubbed as well as sub-titled in English. Due to the same reason, an audience which isn't native Japanese love this site. Also, this is a site which is meant for all ages, however, it generates money from advertisements. These advertisements are indeed too much to bear though. To get something free of cost, we can opt for Chia Anime. To watch videos and shows offline is also possible through software that is compatible with this website.
It is one of the most famous and known sites for Anime. Also, it is the biggest site. Sub-titles and dubbing are two aspects that have made it reputable in the world of Anime. However, when it comes to quality, it remains excellent. For best experience site has produced 720p. Furthermore, to make the most use of this site, you should register and open an account with a functional email.
Crunchyroll also syncs well with smartphones, PlayStation (3 and 4), iOS phones, Windows and Apple gadgets, Roku Box, PlayStation Vita, Wii U, Xbox 360, and Chromecast. The coolest feature of this site is to get translations in the form of sub-titles in several languages. Those languages include Española, François, Italian, Arabic, Portuguesa, English (both, UK and US), Deutsch, and Русский.
Anime Series, from the oldest to the latest are found to be here, under one place. Survey and research conducted in 2019 reveal that, due to the fact of holding a huge collection of Anime videos and shows, AnimeFreak is the most streamed site. The best part is that you can watch videos even when you haven't registered. Since there is a good navigation element, you can easily find what you want to watch. Also, it contains all episodes of the shows in HD quality. If you turn on notifications, you will get an update whenever there is a new release. Also, you will be able to preview shows in a gist before opening the video. That, of course, saves up time. In the preview, you get to see the ranking, synopsis, and list of episodes.
Anime Planet was founded in the year 2001. It is not running on the basis of its age as well as what it contains in the form of movies, videos, and shows. You could think about what do you get to see here. Well, you can easily locate Charts, Anime, and Manga reviews of the shows you are intending to watch. Interestingly, the basis of Anime Planet was to help other Anime fans. This was created by the addicts (of Anime) for the love of Anime videos for other fans. Moreover, it is more like a community where users can make friends with the same passion for Anime.
AnimeLab is functional on both, smart cellular phones and laptops. It can be opened from different browsers on various devices, simultaneously. It also gels in well with PlayStation, Apple TV, Xbox One, Google Chrome Cast, Telstra TV, Foxtel Now Box, and Apple Airplay. Interestingly, Madman Entertainment which is located in the East of Melbourne, Australia, incepted the idea and then developed AnimeLab. This site is in direct partnership with Japan and doesn't need to crawl on other sites to give you access to watching videos. Advertisements, therefore, are far from the site. However, there is a catch. For full access to the site, you need to register as a premium user. That means you can watch limited free videos, after which when you pay the site for complete access, it grants you with unlimited watching of the videos. Nevertheless, it is one of the best alternatives to KissAnime.
Watching Anime videos is not just easy but also convenient with 9Anime. Uniqueness is its forte. You can watch anything you want in the site with English subtitles and in excellent HD quality. There is a wide array of categories under the main domain of Anime. Despite all the goodness, there is a problem too – not all videos or series are dubbed and subtitled. "Trending" tab is where all the popular Anime videos are placed. A quick filter is present to locate old Anime videos too which facilitates users on fewer time slacks. Moreover, you can locate Anime based on date or name. Schedule of new releases are mentioned at the bottom of the website.
KissAnime is altered with many other websites, right? In that list, if we don't mention GoGoAnime, then it will be quite ignorant of us. It is because this site offers a wide range of Anime database. This clearly means that it contains all types including rarest Anime videos to the most popular ones. Navigation of the website is such which doesn't leave its user to come and go without watching a video (that he was looking for). Versatility is another feature of GoGoAnime. We can say that on a concrete reason – each and every series has its own dedicated server so that if a link is broken or has some technical error, there are other options (links) from where you can watch the exact series.
This isn't one of the most popular sites but yes, it serves the purpose. The purpose of watching Anime videos and series. As this is another online free streaming website, it isn't much tacky and is based on a simple interface. Content is not a lot as compared to other sites but this is still moving on to the hall of fame. We recommend you to watch Anime series in this site because it still has above average rating and contains a suitable number of series too. Maybe the reason for the slow progress is because it is run by a non-profit organization which guarantees users to watch videos without investing a single penny. To meet the ends, the organization has used a lot of commercializing (advertisements) which at times becomes daunting for the user. Nevertheless, it is considered a pretty stable and trustworthy site.
Anime Nova
AnimeNova was initially known as Anime44. Even though the name is officially changed, it is still regarded and famous under its old name, AnimeNova. When it comes to the features and characteristics of the site, AnimeNova is famous for daily updates and releases at the time zone of Japan. Recently updated series or their episodes along with most popular shows are featured on the home page. Also, it has a Mangga library which is updated on a regular basis. Both English and Japanese Anime series are found in this site. That is the main reason for AnimeNova's increasing fame. Since the site is highly organized and categories are formulated to make it easy for the user to find what is needed, it is well known among Japanese and non-natives. Advertisements are the main source of earning for the developers. It is one good alternative to KissAnime also because it is free of cost of the users.
Anime Heaven
It is not a new website which gives an alternative to KissAnime. Instead, it is a decade old site which is used by both, native Japanese and non-natives. Homepage of this site is simple yet elegant. AnimeHeaven has series from all times, old and recent. Filter option helps in providing quick access to the videos you want to watch. Cartoons are also added in this site which belongs to the latest and the classics. Last but not least, it also facilitates users with a complete update on the schedule of new releases. The one and only con of this site are that it uses a lot of advertisements which pop up out of nowhere. It is still recommended for what it provides.

Because there's a difference between fashion marketing and management, fashion communication and fashion design.
The fashion industry. A mythical business entity that seems to exist in a world of glitz and glamor. As fashion students, we become accustomed to certain questions, comments and opinions on our chosen line of work. Here is a culmination of the assumptions fashion students are tired of hearing.
1. It must be so nice to have an easy major.
Like all programs, fashion students are required to complete gen ed requirements. Moreover, there's more to our classes than merely shopping and looking at fashion shows. Our curriculum combines consumer behavior with graphic design, marketing and accounting.
2. You seem too smart to be a fashion student.
Because no one pursuing a career in a $1.2 trillion industry could be intelligent or anything.
3. Can you hem my jeans?
First of all, not all fashion students are design students. Contrary to popular belief, there is a wide assortment of fashion programs. Fashion marketing and management (also called fashion merchandising) focuses on the business of the industry, meaning our classes center largely on marketing and finances. Fashion communication emphasizes journalism, while students also learn graphic design and photography skills. Fashion design tends to be the only major where students actually make garments.
Second of all, even if I were a design student, there's no way I would spend my already precious time to hem your jeans for free.
4. Can you give me any outfit advice?
Just because I'm studying clothing, doesn't mean I will instantly know your style. Fashion is subjective. That's part of the appeal. If we're friends I'd be happy to offer my opinion, but when random strangers ask for style advice, things get weird.
5. Did you see last week's episode of "Project Runway?"
6. So you're just in school until you can find a husband, right?
Yes. I spend $40,000 a year, work for free at my unpaid internships and suffer chronic sleep deprivation due to deadlines solely to meet a man. After all, there are so many straight guys in my classes. How ever did you know?
7. You're basically Elle Woods, Blair Waldorf, Miranda Priestly, etc.
As much as I appreciate the comparison, pop culture does a horrendous job of reflecting our industry. While some representations are more accurate than others, movies and television shows tend to be very ineffective portrayals of the fashion industry.
8. How much are you judging me for wearing sweats right now?
9. Aren't you worried work will get in the way of having a family?
Is this 1954? Yes, a career in fashion is demanding, but no more demanding than a career in politics, medicine or teaching.
10. You know the industry is really competitive, right?
Really? I had no idea. It's not like fashion students are encouraged to intern every summer from freshman year to graduation. Thank you for opening my eyes.
11. So your life is pretty much the real life version of "The Devil Wears Prada?"
Well, given that they they were professionals running a major fashion magazine and I'm a college student I'm going to go with no. I've never had the option of experience of trying to track down an out-of-print "Harry Potter" book for a professor's children, but I'll keep you posted once I officially join the workforce. Now that J.K. Rowling is writing again, you never know.
12. You must have so much free time.
HA. Say that to the three midterms, two presentations and three essays I had to write this week alone, on top of working on my senior capstone.
13. We should go shopping together sometime.
I appreciate that you want to spend time together. Really I do. But can we wait until after the autumn/winter shows have ended? Please? Between classes, market research and ceaselessly following each of the collections I could use a little bit of a breather. Any chance you might be up for coffee or a movie?
14. How do you expect to find a job with such a specific degree?
Yes, a fashion degree is highly specific, nevertheless the fashion industry is a hugely profitable entity. An increasing number of colleges have begun offering fashion programs. Fordham University recently unveiled a fashion law program. Clearly there's a demand for the major.
15. I'm so into fashion. I'm in Forever 21 like all the time. I'm basically a fashion student.
One of the beautiful things about fashion is its ability to transcend boundaries, offering all people the ability to represent themselves in their apparel. That said, a degree in fashion is much more than shopping.
16. Yeah, I could never study something so superficial.

Franz Winzentsen (* 10. Januar 1939 in Hamburg) ist ein bedeutender Experimental- und Animations-Filmemacher der Gegenwart. Seine kurzen und langen Filme umspannen eher abstrakte "bewegte Grafik", spielerische Animationssequenzen verschiedenster Techniken wie auch Fotomontagen und Realszenen zu ironischen, sehr persönlichen Kommentaren der deutschen Geschichte des 20. Jahrhunderts.

Leben
Nach dem Abitur 1959 begann Franz Winzentsen ein Studium der Malerei, Grafik und Fotografie an der Hochschule für bildende Künste in Hamburg. Er beteiligte sich auch an Experimenten mit Marionetten. Das Studium beendete er 1964 mit dem Staatsexamen als Kunsterzieher und legte als Examensarbeit im Fach Grafik den ersten an der Hochschule für bildende Künste produzierten Film her, den Animationsfilm Verfolgung.

Ab 1964 arbeitete er im Trickfilm-Studio Cinegrafik von Helmut Herbst, entwarf Trickteile für Industrie- und Dokumentarfilme sowie den Trailer für das 3. Fernsehprogramm des NDR. 1970 wurde er Partner in der Firma.

1965 heiratete er die Grafikerin Ursula Asher (* 4. August 1939, Hamm/Westfalen), mit der er bis 1973 bei Cinegrafik, dann in eigener Produktion Animationsfilme herstellt, die auch bei internationalen Festivals Preise gewannen.
In einer Mischform aus Grafik und Legetrick aus vorgefundenen Materialien entstanden u. a. Erlebnisse einer Puppe (1966), Staub (erster gemeinsamer Film mit Ursula Winzentsen, 1967 Prix Special du Jury beim Internationalen Trickfilmfestival Annecy) und Windstill. In Der Turm entwickelte Winzentsen sein Konzept der »bewegten Grafik« am weitesten fort.

Franz und Ursula Winzentsens waren in der zweiten Hälfte der 1960er Jahre aktive Mitglieder der Filmszene in Hamburg und 1968 Mitbegründer der Hamburger Filmmacher-Cooperative.

Aus der Beschäftigung mit experimentellen Handpuppen entwickelte sich das Puppen- und Maskentheater Rhabarber, das 1972–83 mit verschiedenen Programmen (Stücke für Karl, 1974, Hamburg; Stücke für den großen Glau, 1980, Malersaal Hamburg; Das Zelt, 1983, Bochum) auftrat. 1972 erhielten sie für das Stück Das Flugzeug beim internationalen Figurentheater-Festival in Bochum einem 1. Preis. Einige Stücke wurden auch für das Fernsehen aufgezeichnet.

Die Geburt der Tochter Hannah (1969) löste bei Ursula und Franz Winzentsen ein Interesse am Kinderfilm aus. Sie zeichneten und drehten für die Kindermagazinsendungen des NDR (Maxifant und Minifant, Lapislazuli, Der Wolf und die Frau) über 90 kurze Spots (1–2 min) der Serien Franz und Flüsterpferd. Aus jeweils mehrere Episoden entstanden auch halbstündige Kompilationen mit einer Rahmenhandlung: Geschichten vom Flüsterpferd (1978), Geschichten vom Franz (1979).

Für die experimentierfreudige Kinderfilm-Abteilung des WDR produzierten die Winzentsens eine Reihe von erfolgreichen Animationsfilmen mit Geschichten um Tiere (Starmaus 1 und Starmaus 2; Als die Igel grösser wurden; Kanalligator), die auch unter dem gemeinsamen Titel Professorengeschichten ausgestrahlt wurden. Diese Grafik- und Kinderfilme entstanden zumeist in einer Kombination von Zeichen- und Legetrick. Als die Igel grösser wurden erhielt 1980 beim Deutschen Filmpreis ein Filmband in Silber und wurde beim Prix jeunesse ausgezeichnet.

Mit zunehmendem Alter der Tochter wurden die Themen dieser Kinderfilme komplizierter und vermischten zunehmend Realität und Fantastik, so in Der Kleistermann. Auch nach ihrer Trennung setzten die Winzentsens die gemeinsame Arbeit an Kinderfilmen fort, nun zunehmend abstrakter mit den Möglichkeiten des Mediums spielend: Hin- und Rückfahrt (1984/85), Telefonfieber (1984/85). La Brouette / Die Schubkarre (1986) war der letzte gemeinsame Film, 1987 wurde die Ehe geschieden.

Im selben Jahr übernahm Franz Winzentsen eine Professur für Animationsfilm an der Hochschule für bildende Künste Hamburg. Neben seiner Lehrtätigkeit erprobt er in zahlreichen Kürzestfilmen verschiedene Techniken des Animationsfilms: neben Legetrick auch Zeichentrick und Fotoanimation. Diese Episoden fasste er seit 1982 in einer Reihe von Kurzfilmen zusammen, die er als Ergebnisse aus meinem Animationstagebuch bezeichnete: Flamingo – Aus meinem Animationstagebuch (1982 Großer Preis der Internationalen Trickfilmtage Stuttgart), Der große Sturm (1992), Der Porzellanladen (1995).

In den späteren Kurzepisoden trat Winzentsens stets vorhandenes Interesse an der politischen Entwicklung deutlicher hervor. Dieses verknüpfte er mit Motiven seiner eigenen Biografie zu ironischen Kommentaren der deutschen Geschichte in der zweiten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts. Der vielleicht wichtigste Film dieser Reihe von Kurz- und Langfilmen war 1984/85 Die Anprobe (1938), der bereits im Titel auf Winzentsens Geburt in der Nazizeit anspielte. Die Königin des schwarzen Marktes (1986–89) führte die zeitlich fort und nahm zahlreiche grafische und thematische Motive auch aus den abstrakten Animationsfilmen wieder auf.

Eine von ihm in diesen Filmen angewandte Technik war die Verknüpfung eines vorgeblich "naiven" bzw. "fachidiotischen" Kommentars mit dokumentarischen und verfremdeten Bildern aus Krieg und Nachkriegszeit. Der Langfilm Der Fotograf (1988/89), zu dem der Dokumentarist Thomas Mitscherlich eine Rahmenhandlung mit Schauspielern drehte, war eine fiktive Chronik von der Kaiserzeit bis zum Wirtschaftswunder.

1991 entstand der TV-Spielfilm Der Untergang des goldenen Webstuhls nach der Erzählung Der Webstuhl von Hermann Kasack als Mischung aus Realszenen mit langen Animationsteilen.

Neben der Herstellung von Filmen gewann für Winzentsen seit den 1980er Jahren zunehmend die Beschäftigung mit Texten und Artefakten aus gefundenem und grafisch gestaltetem Material an Bedeutung, die jedoch immer mit den Filmen verbunden blieben. Diese veröffentlichte er in verschiedenen Ausstellungen und Broschüren.

2001 endete seine Professur an der Hochschule für bildende Künste Hamburg mit der Pensionierung. Franz Winzentsen lebt mit seiner zweiten Frau, der Pädagogin Ann-Louise Brette-Winzentsen, in Fredenbeck. Er arbeitet in seinem Atelier, einem umgebauten ehemaligen Güterschuppen am Bahnhof von Kutenholz bei Bremervörde.

Sacramento, CA >> Senator Mike McGuire's groundbreaking bill that will create the Great Redwood Trail, which will extend from the San Francisco Bay to the Humboldt Bay, is one step closer to reality after it was approved with a unanimous 36-0 vote in the State Senate last night.
McGuire is continuing to meet with state government agencies, land owners, trail advocates and transportation officials on a plan to work out the agency's financial debts and chart a way forward for the popular trail system.
The bill, SB 1029, has become one of the top priorities for environmental organizations around the state, making the Green California "Hot List" of critical bills this year. This list is compiled by leading environmental organization like the League of Conservation Voters, the Sierra Club, Trout Unlimited and dozens more. The California Transportation Commission is also in support of this important bill.
"From the San Francisco Bay, through the incredible beauty of wine country, alongside the glistening banks of the Russian and Eel Rivers, into the stunning old growth Redwood forests, and up to and around panoramic Humboldt Bay – this is truly an incredible piece of earth. SB 1029 sets the stage to turn this 300-mile, long-suffering train track into a world renowned trail system that will benefit locals and visitors alike and be a boon to our local economies," Senator Mike McGuire said.
The Great Redwood Trail will be a significant economic driver for the rural North Coast communities it would wind through. California outdoor recreation is one of the fastest growing sectors of the Golden State's economy. It generates over $92 billion a year here in California, is responsible for nearly 700,000 jobs with over $30 billion in wages, and brings over $6 billion in tax revenues back to state and local communities. The trail will attract hundreds of thousands of locals and visitors alike to hike this spectacular landscape and inject needed funds into our small, rural economies.
The North Coast Railroad Authority will be dissolved through SB 1029, and the 300-mile-long right-of-way will be segmented roughly at the halfway point. The Northern Segment, from Willits to Arcata, will be transferred to the newly created Great Redwood Trail Agency who will begin railbanking the right-of-way and start the planning for the trail, including a significant community input process. The Southern Segment will be transferred to Sonoma Marin Area Rail Transit who will be responsible for passenger and freight trains, and will build the southern section of the Great Redwood Trail.
