Just like us, dogs need decent nutrition to keep as happy and healthy as possible. The nutritional requirements of a dog vary according to size, breed, and age. If you're about to bring a dog home, you may think that feeding it is pretty simple. However, there are various guidelines you need to follow to make sure your dog's getting everything they need. Here's some information you may find helpful.
Portion sizes and frequency are very important to think about when it comes to a dog's nutrition, and their needs vary with time. Most puppies up to six months old should be eating three to four times a day. From six months onwards, you can generally take this down to two meals a day. While small and medium sized dogs can make the transition from puppy to adult food fairly early in life, larger ones may need to stick to a puppy diet slightly longer. Remember that these are only guidelines, and the best way to figure out the best diet for your dog is asking your vet during a check-up. The most common issue when it comes to feeding portions and frequency is overfeeding, so when in doubt, go for smaller, less frequent meals.
Can a Dog Be Vegetarian?
This is a question that a lot of new owners have to address sooner or later. The short answer is yes, they can, but it can be hard to manage. If you want your dog to be a veggie because you don't like the idea of the additives and processing that goes into pet food production, there are many organic alternatives and natural treats for dogs on the market. They'll cost a little more, but you'll have that much more assurance about the state of your dog's nutrition. If you want to keep your dog vegetarian for some other reason, you've got a lot of work ahead of you! Not all vegetables are safe for dogs, for starters. Like us, they need to be getting a decent amount of protein, from sources other than meat, to be a healthy veggie. Start doing your research and meal planning as soon as possible, and make sure you understand the work that goes into owning a healthy, vegetarian dog, before committing to it.
A lot of owners throw scraps of meat from their own plates to their dogs at meal times. While there are many traditionally human foods that you can give your dog with no ill effects, you need to be very careful. Anything with chocolate, fat-heavy foods, chicken bones, salty foods, and rare steak, can be bad for a dog. Having said that, there are some foods that can be bad for some dogs, yet fine for others. This depends largely on their usual diet, their size, and their genetic makeup. A full-grown Labrador can eat chocolate, and while it won't be good for them, the effects will be fairly benign. A Chihuahua, on the other hand, can get extremely ill.
We all know that most dogs can get themselves into mischief pretty easily. Whether this is chewing up your new shoes, bounding to jump at you with muddy paws or rushing to wrench a newspaper away from the delivery boy, there are a few behaviours that we wish our dogs wouldn't do quite so often. Getting your dogs to behave better is all about controlling their impulses, which sounds like an extremely difficult task, but it can actually be easier than you think. So, let's have a look at a few ways that you can manage your dog's impulses and help them to stay calm in all situations.
The first step that you need to take is to actually identify what your dog wants which is causing their impulses to get the better of them. It could be a sudden urge to go outside, a rush to get their food or them bounding off to interact with another dog. Once you have worked out this initial trigger, you will be in a much stronger position to be able to control this urge.
A system of rewarding your dog when it behaves in a better and calmer way will help to reinforce this positive behaviour. For example, a huge number of dogs get overexcited when you first pick up the leash and will start bouncing up and down uncontrollably. Even the most energetic of dogs can't do this forever, so stand and wait for them to calm down. Only then should you put the leash on. Over time, your dog should start to sit more calmly sooner.
Most people use treats to reinforce the positive behaviour of their dogs, but you can also learn more about dog training collars. Dogs don't tend to sustain bad behaviour for a long period of time, so it is a case of being patient until your dog calms down. Only then should you reinforce the good behaviour with your chosen method. As your dog become accustomed to what behaviour is acceptable and what isn't, it should start displaying this on a more regular basis.
It is important that you maintain consistency in your approach to dog training. If you allow a certain behaviour one day, but then decide that it is not okay the next, your dog will become confused and will not know what is expected of them. Once you begin working on a specific type of behaviour, make sure to follow this through until the dog has fully learnt it.
There are a range of opportunities throughout the day to teach your dog calmer behaviour. For example, when you get home after a long day, wait for your dog to have all four paws on the ground before you start showing them affection. When your dog is about to eat their meal, teach the dog to sit and wait for your cue.
Dogs are pack animals, so they need to be around other dogs and humans regularly to feel happy. Not only is it great for keeping them cheerful, but it's essential to their health. Their immune systems get a little boost, they are far less likely to suffer from anxiety, and they get better quality exercise when they can run and play with other pups, making obesity far less of a concern. Socialisation should start at a young age to get the best effects – that's why pups shouldn't be taken away from their mamas before at least eight weeks. Here are a few things to bear in mind when socialising your pup.
You should start socialising your dog while they're still young, but there are risks associated with this. For example, they might not have finished their full course of vaccinations, so they could be at risk of parvovirus when they come into contact with other dogs. Ensure you're only introducing them to dogs you're acquainted with, and whose owners your trust. Keep them off grass and mud as this can also transfer their disease. Obviously, whenever your dog comes into contact with other dogs, they're at risk of catching fleas. There are plenty of pest deterrents on the market, so be sure to check out some flea and tick reviews to find one which will work for your pup. Keeping them protected from bugs and pests is essential, especially while they're still young – they can cause great discomfort and irritation, and even pass on illnesses, so it's better to be safe than sorry.
As dogs are being socialised, they're being put in situations which might be a little bit outside of their comfort zone. For this reason, they could act erratically as they get scared or uncomfortable, in which case it could be necessary for you to intervene for the safety of your dog and the other dogs or people around. Your dog should never be left unsupervised in new situations with new people or other animals, especially while they're young.
From between the ages of three weeks and 12 weeks old, your dog gets most of its life lessons. For this reason, it's crucial that they experience as many new things as they can in this time, as anything omitted could cause them serious anxiety after this age. Be sure to introduce them to people of all nationalities, races, ages and cultures – this is a surefire way to ensure they act appropriately around all people. Different locations and situations also matter – from busy roads to woodlands, cow fields to beaches.
Even once your pup gets older, their socialisation needs to be maintained. A dog which is well socialised up to 12 weeks old, which then becomes isolated, can go back to being a fearful and anxious dog. These dogs can be erratic, and a fearful dog tends to be an aggressive and unhappy dog. Keeping them socialised is the key to their happiness, and one of the main responsibilities of a dog owner.
We usually see January as a bit of a fresh start as the slate's wiped clean from last year, and it gives us a chance to examine our lives. However, while you're deciding whether you need to eat healthier, get more exercise or prioritize your home life over your workload don't forget your pets. Improving your dog's life should be just as important as focusing on your own goals, as a happy, healthy dog and a happy, healthy human can often benefit from the same things.
Daily walks should be a key element of every dog's life no matter how big or small they are. Regular walks stimulate them mentally and physically, keeps them fit and active and also lets your dog breathe plenty of fresh air after being in the house all day. Depending on the breed you'll be walking your dog at least once a day if not more, so it's important that both you and they stick to a workable schedule. Dogs are very intelligent creatures and a routine helps them feel secure, happier and safer as they'll know what to expect such as when it's time for them to be fed, walked, played with, bathed and even popped into their basket at bedtime.
Older dogs can suffer terribly with arthritis and other bone problems, so it's important your pet is lying properly when sleeping. Memory foam pet loungers are upholstered in a durable, stain resistant fabric and even contain nano-technology to reduce odors as well as being easily cleaned thanks to machine washable covers. A cooling memory foam core helps to keep your dog from overheating at the same time as being a comfy, cozy and soft place for your dog to relax. These orthopaedic dog beds encourage your pet to stretch out into a healthier sleeping position instead of curling up, squashing their legs and affecting their spines.
It's critical that your pet is getting all the vitamins, minerals and nutrients that they need and their diet has a huge role in the overall health of your dog. Look for dog food brands that put a dog's health at the forefront of their values, feed treats only occasionally and make sure that your dog has dental sticks to chew on. Dogs should not be overweight as it can put a strain on their joints and heart as well as affect their ability to run, play and even breathe properly. If you're at all concerned about your dog's weight, then do book an appointment with your vet.
Dogs need to be regularly stimulated otherwise they get bored quickly which, in turn, leads to bad behavior such as a chewing furniture, whining or being aggressive. Plan a range of activities, have a good collection of dog toys and games and make sure your dog is treated like a proper family member. Dogs love nothing more than catching tennis balls, retrieving sticks and running around outside so make sure you have plenty of time where they can be off the leash safely.
Just like humans, as dog's age, they become more prone to illnesses and certain conditions. Genetics, nutrition, and environmental factors all play a role in how fast your dog ages. So it's not 'one size fits all' care when it comes to senior dogs. Here are a few signs and symptoms to watch out for with your older dog, to keep their tail wagging right through the winter of their life.
Arthritis in older dogs is common, however, it can still be a difficult condition to manage. Inflammation and degeneration of the joints can make walking and standing painful, and cause dogs to slow down. They might start to struggle with things like jumping up or climbing the stairs. Because animals are programed to hide their outward pain, the signs may be difficult to recognize especially at first. Keep an eye out for weight gain (as a result of reduced mobility) sleeping more or changes in the way they move such as jumping up to greet you. Thankfully supplements are effective in managing arthritis in older dogs and can keep pain down and improve their mobility. Cod liver oil is safe to give to dogs, or you could try something like a daily yunnan baiyao capsule. This can slow the onset of the disease and provide relief from painful swollen joints.
No dog's breath is going to smell like roses; that's a given. But there's a difference between regular doggy breath and something indicating that there's a problem. Plaque and tartar can build up over a dog's life, but it's also due to their weaker immune systems why older dogs suffer more with this. Keep an eye on the way your dog eats, make sure they're not refusing food or favoring one side of their mouth. Tooth issues can present pain in animals just like it can with us so carefully monitor your senior dog to make sure they're not in any unnecessary pain. You can keep your dog's teeth healthy by regular brushing- even once a week can make a dramatic difference. Dog's don't tend to like this much, starting them while they're young is ideal but if not try to keep the experience as stress-free as possible. You could give them dental chews to enjoy, and also feed them dry instead of wet food. This is better for tooth health.
Are you killing your dog with kindness? As much as they might enjoy those table scraps, extra treats and everything else they can get their paws on, it's important to moderate what your dog eats. Classic symptoms include excessive thirst and urination, and losing weight despite the fact they're eating the same amount. Basically the same kind of symptoms you'd see in humans with type two diabetes. It's dangerous since it can lead to blindness, liver disease, kidney disease and a whole host of other adverse side effects that could lead to an untimely death. Have your dog weighed to ensure they're at their correct weight. If not, ask your vet for feeding advice. Treats should be fully moderated, and you should make sure they're not able to scavenge in bins or snag treats from other family members. You can make your own healthy dog treats that are low in fat and provide lots of useful vitamins and minerals for your pooch. There are loads of recipes and ideas online.
I'm sure you love your pets just as much as I love mine. But when things are going wrong, it's easy to blame them for things that aren't really their fault. We end up shouting at the poor confused animal when they often have no idea what they've done wrong. That's bad enough, but sometimes they aren't even to blame! Let me show you exactly what I mean.
I constantly blame my pets for this, particularly when they seem to be causing allergies for my nieces and nephews. But you don't have to blame your pets for allergies in the home. There are plenty of ways to avoid the problem completely. First, you should be hoovering and polishing at least once a week to make sure that dust and muck doesn't build up. This will always make your allergies worse and guess what, the pets aren't to blame. You might also want to consider purchasing some anti allergy pillows. These are really useful if you find your allergies are worse in the morning. It means you're allergic to dust mites and has nothing to do with your furry friend. Although, if you do have a pet and you think you might be allergic you can get tablets. You don't have to say goodbye and find him a new home.
This is one of the ways that pets are quite similar to children. Particularly domestic pets like cats and dogs. If you think that your cat or dog is behaving badly, it isn't their fault, it's yours. There's no such thing as bad pets, only bad owners. If you want them to behave better, you need to train them better. It's as simple as that! The good news is that the old saying an old dog can't learn new tricks isn't true. They can and will. You just have to be willing to put the time in. It's never too late to teach your pet to behave.
If your animal is relieving himself inside, this could be another issue with training. However, you might be surprised to learn that as they get older animals will naturally want to do their business outside. If they complete their business inside it's because they are desperate. You've left it too long, and you need to be taking them out more regularly. So next time your dog leaves a package on your bed, smack yourself on the nose with a newspaper instead.
If we see bugs and beasties in our home, it's natural to think the animal brought them in. But the truth is that they probably didn't. Instead, those little bugs are attracted to your home because you're not keeping it clean enough. Or, because you've got an environmental problem like mold. Nine times out of ten it's nothing to do with the pet. It's about how well you're maintaining the home.
I hope you see now that these problems aren't the fault of the pet at all. The only one you can blame is yourself. But there's no time like the present to fix these issues and give your pet a hug instead of a scolding.
It can be hard to try and find different toys for our dog to play with that won't get destroyed easily, but she doesn't destroy many which is good.
Her favourite toy at the moment is a reindeer from christmas that we got her from pet at home, but is safe to say has seen better day. When pawsomebox got in contact and sent us a box of goodies for Carly she couldn't wait to see what was inside and get her teeth into it.
Carly's favourite toy is the pink squeaky dog toy, she takes it everywhere with her, even brings it to bed. She does the cutest thing too, after she has played with it and we've thrown it round, she will just lie there and lick it for ages as if to make it feel better for hurting it.
Carly loves the treats aswell. We would definitely buy this subscription box again as each month you get lots of different toys and treats etc… and is great for your dog.
* We were sent this box free of charge for the purpose of this review, however all thoughts and opinions are my own.
Enough about us for now it's our dog Carly's turn to have a bit of the spotlight.
She is one very spoilt dog!
When bark bites got in contact and offered us one of their tasty treat subscriptions box to review, Carly went barking mad.
Carly was very excited to receive her treats as you can see. Bark bite treats are great because they fit straight through your letter box,so you don't have to worry about been in the house. You can choose from over 48 different hand baked treat to suit your dog from here your dog will be spoilt for choice.
I didn't know what treats we were going to receive either, but you can handpick your own too. There are different treats for different aspects of the dog, eg. Coat & Skin, digestion etc and you can pick the treats that best suit your dogs needs. This is what we received in our subscription box.
Well as you can see Carly was a big fan of the treats she was sent, and would have possibly polished them off all in one go if we had let her.
Look at the smile on her face, one happy puppy dog.
I think these prices are good, for what you get, and I will certainly buying more for Carly in the future.
* We were sent this box of treats for the purpose of a review, however all thoughts,pictures and opinions are my own.

Every year, thousands of people receive that phone call we all dread—news that a loved one has been killed in an auto accident. The news is not only a sudden shock, but emotionally and physically debilitating. Even before the reality of it all wears off, many families will face unforeseen financial challenges as they are suddenly forced to deal with medical expenses, funeral and burial expenses, and additional financial hurdles due to lost income.
While no one can ever put a value on a life, it is important for the family to understand their legal rights to pursue a wrongful death claim. An experienced attorney can help guide victims through their legal options to recover the maximum possible compensation.
The driver of a Chevy Impala was turning left into a parking lot when he was struck by another vehicle speeding at an estimated 100 mph. The crash sent the Impala spinning at least 75 feet into a Toyota Highlander. The Impala was so mangled that it was hardly recognizable; the Mercedes that hit it was crushed to at least three feet shorter than normal, according to reports.
The driver of the Impala died at the scene; his wife and oldest daughter were taken to an area hospital where they later died. The driver of the Mercedes also died at the scene. A passenger in his vehicle was taken to the hospital in critical condition. The two people in the Highlander were treated at the scene and released with minor injuries.
While speed appears to be a factor in this fatal crash, and the negligent driver has a history of speeding violations, police have not determined whether drugs or alcohol were also involved. The crash remains under investigation.
The deceased couple leaves behind a 10-year-old son and 15-year-old daughter. Neither child was in the car when the crash occurred.
While the families of all who died in this preventable crash work through their personal grief, they may decide to file a wrongful death lawsuit. At the same time, they may also experience immediate financial loss. During a pending claim, it can be a great relief to attain financial assistance through a lawsuit cash advance.
Lawsuit funding is a non-recourse cash advance that can cover mounting medical bills, funeral and burial expenses, and other out of pocket expenses during pending litigation. Unlike a traditional bank loan in which you must pay back the lender, in monthly payments, regardless of whether or not you win your case, lawsuit funding requires no monthly payments. The cash advance is only repaid once the case successfully settles. If the case is lost, the repayment is completely waived.
The process begins with a one-page funding application and basic case documentation. Approval is based on case strength, not collateral, credit checks or employment verification. Once approved, cash can be available within 24 – 48 hours.
If you have lost a loved one in an auto accident and are undergoing serious financial challenges while waiting for your settlement, apply for lawsuit funding or contact Lawsuit Financial for a free, no-obligation consultation.


A few months ago, I recorded a solo episode talking about navigating "The Fourth Trimester." I was having a tough time — that was obvious. But then I learned: There's a "Fifth Trimester!" And that's the stage I'm in now, as I navigate life with a baby beyond the first 12 weeks and settle into a routine, a work life, and, well, some fun. On this episode, I'm talking about how parenthood has gone from terrifying to fun in the past month — and how getting to music class was a major catalyst in that crucial shift. Annie is five and a half months old now, and I can officially say we're having a blast. It's still hard sometimes, but being a mom to the coolest kid I know is pretty awesome. I'm also reflecting on loneliness, and the guilt associated with feeling lonely when, in theory, I had everything I needed. Plus, thoughts on the comparison trap, being a work-from-home mom, and the new Ali on the Run Show "Motherhood Mondays" series!

As some of you may know, over the last year, I've been out on the road with Kings Of Leon as a guitar tech. It's been a crazy 14 months with them. I've been all over the world to places I never thought I would set foot in. I've made some lasting new friends and have been able to write new music on the road as well. If you haven't heard that, head over to my bandcamp page to check it out! I'm currently on the last leg of the KOL US tour and it's nice to be touring through cities where I have some close friends that I don't get to see that often. Be sure to check back here for blog posts and updates. I'll make sure I update way more often. Thanks!

Home Disney World Dumbo Preview coming to Hollywood Studios, Disneyland and Disney Cruise Line
Dumbo Preview coming to Hollywood Studios, Disneyland and Disney Cruise Line
The new Live Action Dumbo movie preview will come to Disney's Hollywood Studios, Disneyland and Disney Cruise Line in March 2019!
Disney – "Have you ever seen an elephant fly? For a limited time beginning in March, you will when you catch a special preview of scenes from Disney's all-new grand live-action adventure "Dumbo" in sneak peeks planned for Disneyland Resort, Walt Disney World Resort, and Disney Cruise Line. Check out this special message from two of the stars of the film, Danny DeVito and Colin Farrell.
Guests sailing with Disney Cruise Line during the month of March will get to see the "Dumbo" sneak peek while aboard the ships. At Disneyland park, the preview of "Dumbo" will be presented at the Main Street Opera House in Town Square, while Disney's Hollywood Studios will include this advance look at a portion of the film as part of the Walt Disney Presents attraction.
From Disney and visionary director Tim Burton, the grand live-action adventure "Dumbo" expands on the beloved classic story where differences are celebrated, family is cherished and dreams take flight. Circus owner Max Medici (Danny DeVito) enlists former star Holt Farrier (Colin Farrell) and his children Milly (Nico Parker) and Joe (Finley Hobbins) to care for a newborn elephant whose oversized ears make him a laughingstock in an already struggling circus. But when they discover that Dumbo can fly, the circus makes an incredible comeback, attracting persuasive entrepreneur V.A. Vandevere (Michael Keaton), who recruits the peculiar pachyderm for his newest, larger-than-life entertainment venture, Dreamland. Dumbo soars to new heights alongside a charming and spectacular aerial artist, Colette Marchant (Eva Green), until Holt learns the beneath its shiny veneer, Dreamland is full of dark secrets.
Here's a look at the latest trailer for Disney's "Dumbo," which flies into theaters on March 29, 2019.
Rose February 6, 2019 At 9:46 am
I thought the original movie was really a tear jerker… especially when the mother elephant was swinging Dumbo on her trunk & singing Baby of Mine….
Jennifer February 4, 2019 At 7:47 pm
Where will it be played at Hollywood Studios?

Heroic father and son stop alleged armed robbers in Durban shootout
Lauren Beukes
The criminals sped off in a black VW Polo, which the father and son team gave chase.
A PT Alarms public relations officer has expressed relief that her colleague and his father involved in a shooting on Quality Street escaped without major injuries after an armed robbery that took place earlier today.
Je-shona Singh told Southlands Sun that reports about the stolen money being recovered are partially true, as only R5 000 of the R25 000 taken, was recovered.

Bystanders at the crash site are alleged to have made off with the rest of the cash.
The PT Alarm officer and his father, who is a policeman, were held up by three gunmen.
"The father and the son were followed home from the bank. On their arrival at home, they were approached by two armed robbers. The criminals robbed them of the cash and sped off in a black VW Polo. The father and son team then gave chase, one suspect was shot and another suspect was apprehended," she said. She said no one was killed and that the robber was shot in the shoulder.
A third suspect fled the scene, according to Blue Security.
Singh confirmed the car which had rolled belonged to the PT Alarm officer.
"The father got out of the vehicle after the crash and shot at the robber's car tyre, which caused them to halt. That's when he shot one of them in the shoulder. Our paramedics, who responded to the scene and treated him," she added.
No fatalities were reported, and both father and son escaped the incident unharmed.

 sudo service cloudera-scm-agent status

it returns nothing i tried hard_restart with confirmed but still no result event tried running it from /etc/init.d/ but same thing over there as well.
I looked into logs no error.

A: *

*Make a copy of your /etc/cloudera-scm-agent/config.ini.

*Uninstall the cloudera-manager-agent package

*Install the cloudera-manager-agent package

*Copy the /etc/cloudera-scm-agent/config.ini back

*Start the cloudera-scm-agent service

If that doesn't work and the logs don't tell anything interesting, check disk usage, check to ensure that the disk to which /var/run is mounted is writable and accessible.
Still doesn't work... try rebooting as a last resort.

I just wrote on why we need Content Management for effective Case Management. It really is more of a background into defining the challenges. Now I am going to focus on how Content Management vendors can help solve this problem.
This is a little like closing the barn door after the horses have escaped. Most of the vendors out there have announced Case Management strategies. After my comments on EMC's approach, many have felt that I thought that Content Management vendors should stay out of Case Management.
So, what do we, the implementers, need from Content Management vendors. Two words. The first word is flexibility. The second word is where it gets tricky…simplicity.
You didn't think this would be easy did you?
Why flexibility? Simple, I need to be able to leverage my existing investments and to configure the system to reflect the types of solutions I am building. As I've already discussed, for all their similarities, there is a lot of variety in the Case Management world. There is no one-size-fits-all.
As you can see, there needs to be a lot of poser and flexibility in those Content Management products. The thing is, a lot of companies have been providing that flexibility for years, many with more than enough power. The issue has been, and continues to be, simplicity.
This is where it all falls apart. In my experience, the client rarely knows exactly what they want the first time out. The first prototypes are usually torn apart in the review session. That's fine. After I learned that this was actually normal for a Case Management system, I stopped getting upset.
One rule is this: If it takes a lot of work to create the first version of a Case Management system, then it usually takes a lot of effort to change the system. If you change a component system, you usually need to ask for more budget.
Things need to be simpler. More configuration, less customization. More standards-based integrations, less vendor specific APIs or interfaces. Do you know one of the beautiful things about using CMIS in to solve a technical problem? You don't have to worry about deprecated calls or changing your code when the CMS changes. That is a very nice benefit for those of us doing the work (or managing it).
So that leaves the question, what do we want?
Let's face it. There is no way that I can evaluate, personally, every Case Management offering out there in the CMS market. I have a day job that frequently spills into the evening. I have to look at approaches and strategies from each vendor, mix in the existing systems at a client, and createa short-list.
In general, configuration is better than customization. The ability to customize needs to always be there, but the more that can be done through configuration, the quicker the implementation and any subsequent changes. Configurations also tend to survive product upgrades which much less pain.
To classify approaches, here are some generic terms. It is important to note that some companies use a term for marketing purposes that may not reflect what they actually provide. This can be good or bad.
Frameworks: These are nice. They offer pre-built starting points. They are very flexible and provide a nice starting point. They also tend to need more customization versus configuration (though mileage will vary). This is still much better than starting from scratch.
Solutions: This tends to be a more complete offering. Many scenarios can be handled through configuration, though customization is still required for many options. Often, the difference between a "solution" and a "framework" is just a question of the maturity of the offering. Solutions take more time for a vendor to develop as they get feedback from clients.
Product: This is taking it too far usually. This can become too rigid and not offer enough flexibility. That said, products aimed at specific types of cases, like correspondence management or insurance claims, can do quite well. These should be confined to 3rd party integrators and ideally should be based upon a vendor framework or solution.
For those offerings, the key is that they are built upon an Enterprise Content Management platform. The need to manage the content is the reason that these vendors are in such a good position to capture this market. It is important that the focus of the company remain Content Management in order to continue to be a viable platform for Case Management and all of the other solutions needed by the community.
After all, not everything is a case.
Pie – Nice article, and your issue have been felt by others too.
I think a lot of the ones you mention in the bullet points of problems can be made to go away IF we can get to a point where one solution does both the data and the content. So rather than having to link an ECM system to A.N. Other system that is looking after the "structured" data (synch issues, security issues as you mention) an ideal would be able to do all the case management in one place. xCP2 MAY be that system… time will tell.
In general, many systems are not designed to handle both data and content well. That is a challenge and sometimes, it isn't necessary. Standards will help, but more work needs to be done by both the standards developers and vendors.
I'm interested to see that you posted that without a single reference to CMIS. Do you think that CMIS can push the Content Management vendors into more of a position as commodity to support the Case process? After all unstructured content is one part of a Case, and as I've mentioned before decisions made on a case are typically made as a result of structure information on a Case, e.g. Date of Hearing in a Criminal Case.
You read it too fast, CMIS is referenced, it just isn't the focus of this post. Thinking the next one will cover standards. To answer your question quickly, yes, I think it will allow for Composite Content Applications to be developed that will support multiple repositories.
Yes agreed. So, the efficient and meaningful storage of structured (case) data is one of the things xCP2 is looking at. We need to be able to model and store complex data structures in a non-Documentum-like way. If they can crack this nut, and for example make DCTM / xCP the single-system for case management then we do not need to glue systems together, synch them and have case data in a separate system to case content. Lots of issues gone, all happy in the world etc.
So basically my wish is to forget two systems and lets get a system that handles structured / unstructed all in one place. This removes Lee's issue below too, as well as ensuring that the "record of the case" is all in one place, one set of security, one set of retention etc. Nirvana?
Is that where the NOSQL movement / non-relational databases come in ?
Personally I always liked that in Documentum you could have an "Empty" content item that was just there to enable relationships between 'real' content items, even if the mechanism is overly complicated.
The answer depends on the system. There is an inherent danger in trying to do everything well, you tend to do nothing well.
The problem with "Empty" content is that there is still the overhead of the dm_sysobject. There is power, but it comes at a price. For Documentum, the XHive acquisition, and the resultant XML Store product, is a resource that could be leveraged. Whether it will, or even can, is an entirely difference question.
One would think since Documentum already abstracts querying of the structure data via DQL, all they would need to do is to rewrite under DQL engine to read/write against XML store.
They also need to improve the integration of XML Store and the tools to support it. Ideally, you would do all your design work from Composer.
The pieces are there though.

Compression concerns dynamic range and an explanation of exactly what dynamic range is, is how this important section opens.
Universal Audio's Bill Putnam Jr explains how and why compressors and limiters were first developed, following on from which Alan explains the difference between compression and limiting and when each process s typically used. One very valuable demonstration lets you hear a range of identical recordings–vocal, guitar, piano–with and without compression.
As the section continues, Alan defines the terms, explains the parameters, and even provides instrument-by-instrument examples (along with the ramifications!) of using compression or limiting.
Although compression is principally concerned with loudness, including the listeners' perception of loudness, the process can also effect tone, in both desirable and undesirable ways; looking at both sibilance and de-essers.
The elephant in the room is of course The Loudness Wars and the effects of compression on the master buss, i.e. over the whole mix.
Alan talks about this to a number of artists, engineers, and producers. Most seem to agree that over compression is generally 'a bad thing' but the constant pressure by labels, managers, and pundits to have your mix sound as loud as the next person's–or preferably louder–has been around since the 1970s.
This is a fascinating and multi-faceted subject and one explored from all perspectives in an action-packed half hour of compelling footage.

Executive Liability for Anti-Money-Laundering Controls
Columbia Law Review Sidebar, Vol. 116, January, 2016
See all articles by Christina Parajon Skinner
Christina Parajon Skinner
University of Pennsylvania - The Wharton School
Date Written: January 4, 2016
The Essay considers the merits of a February 2015 proposal by the former superintendent of New York State's Department of Financial Services, Benjamin Lawsky, to increase senior executives' personal responsibility for a financial institution's AML controls.
In a broad sense, the Essay endorses more robust individual accountability for AML compliance. The specter of personal liability would likely force executives to devote more attention to the design and maintenance of an institution's AML program. At the same time, however, the Essay stops short of a full-hearted embrace of traditional legal tools for executive liability. A world in which executives are held liable for AML failures could also lead to socially and economically undesirable results. It could, as recent history has shown, encourage institutions to take more than an optimal level of care, reducing access to banking services in certain communities or infringing on other privacy interests in the process. For those reasons, the Essay suggests that industry-generated liability—in the form of privately set standards—could be equally if not more executive than liability imposed by regulatory fiat or enforcement, of the kind that Lawsky suggested.
Keywords: financial regulation, corporate governance

It is my pleasure to welcome you to today's conference on transatlantic economic interdependence and policy challenges. We have a great program today with many distinguished speakers from academia, and the private and public sectors. In particular, I would highlight the keynote speech following lunch by Olli Rehn, the vice president of the European Commission.
As the two largest economies in the world, the United States and the European Union have a shared stake in the vitality of the global economy. Without growth in both our regions, the global economy will not prosper and we will not be able to satisfy the aspirations of our citizens.
Today I want to focus on some of the challenges that we both face. As I see it, significant progress has been made in the United States and Europe in recovering from the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression and the deep recession that followed, but more still needs to be done.
On the regulatory side, there is considerable good news worth highlighting. In particular, substantial progress has been made in strengthening the global capital and liquidity standards for internationally active banks. This should make the failure of large firms much less likely. Also, the financial system is being rebuilt to make it more resilient and robust. For example, the requirement that over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives be standardized and centrally cleared whenever possible should strengthen the global financial system. Similarly, the global set of principles for financial market infrastructures has been updated and strengthened.
Moreover, some tentative steps have also been made so we can better deal with the failure of systemically important financial firms on a cross-border basis. Key attributes for resolution regimes have been promulgated by the Financial Stability Board. Efforts are underway to implement national regimes consistent with these standards and that can work together in a coordinated way on a global basis.
But more needs to be done. The impediments to an orderly cross-border resolution still need to be fully identified and dismantled. This is necessary to eliminate the so-called "too big to fail" problem. The Basel III capital and liquidity requirements need to be fully implemented. Also, cross-border regulatory cooperation needs to be further enhanced. This includes greater exchange of confidential supervisory information so that national regulators can be fully informed about the conditions of the banks that operate within their borders. It also requires efforts to ensure a level playing field across jurisdictions so that the focus is on promoting safety and stability rather than trying to protect, favor, or shield national champions.
In terms of the macroeconomy, there is both good and bad news. In the United States, the good news is that the economic outlook appears to be gradually improving. The household sector is far along in the deleveraging process, the housing sector is recovering, the banking system is healthier and credit conditions are easing, the corporate sector is highly profitable and awash in cash.
Monetary policy has been effective at fostering easier financial market conditions, even with short-term rates pinned at the zero bound. To provide the appropriate degree of accommodation, the Federal Reserve has recently moved to an outcome-based approach in which the use of our tools is explicitly tied to developments in the economy and economic outlook. Currently, as part of this strategy, we are purchasing $85 billion of longer-term Treasuries and agency mortgage-backed securities each month. After reviewing the efficacy and costs of this program, I have concluded that that efficacy has been as high or higher than I expected at the onset of the program and costs the same or lower.
Nevertheless, the United States could be doing better. The U.S. fiscal policy program, for example, does not appear well-calibrated to the current set of economic circumstances. We have too much fiscal restraint in the short term, and too little consolidation in the long term. The degree of fiscal restraint this year (about 1¾ percent of gross domestic product [GDP] in 2013) is quite large relative to the forward momentum of the economy. Thus, we have a tug-of-war between the improving economy and the current large negative fiscal impulse. How this tug-of-war gets resolved—which force dominates—won't be known for some time. In other words, the level of uncertainty about the near-term outlook in the United States remains quite high.
Meanwhile, the long-term fiscal outlook for the United States is still troubling. So far, partisan divisions in Washington have limited progress in reaching the type of "grand bargain" needed to put the United States on a sustainable long-term fiscal path, though of late we have at least seen some renewed talk about this. Nor have we yet deployed a comprehensive set of policies to support the rebalancing of the U.S. economy toward a growth path based more on business investment, trade and broad-based income gains than the type of asset price gains and credit-fuelled consumption, which dominated the last business cycle.
For Europe, the near term macroeconomic outlook seems less bright. The good news is that the peripheral countries have made substantial efforts to bring down their structural budget deficits. They have also made some progress in improving their international competitiveness, though there remains an opportunity for further structural reforms in labor and product markets—and not just in the periphery—to increase productivity and strengthen long term growth prospects.
The European Central Bank's (ECB) introduction of the outright monetary transactions (OMT) program has reduced financial market tensions considerably in the peripheral countries, so that sovereign debt funding costs in those countries are at more reasonable levels. The risk that interest rates in the periphery could spiral upward has been significantly diminished. Also, the commitment to European integration remains strong, a factor that U.S.-based analysts and investors do not always sufficiently appreciate. Over the past few years, when the situation has been the most bleak, the choice in favor of the Union with the euro at its core has always won out.
The bad news is that the eurozone is still in a recession and the political support for further rounds of budget-tightening has clearly lessened. The eurozone financial system is being fragmented and the partial easing of pressure on peripheral sovereign debt markets has not translated into a corresponding easing in private-sector borrowing costs in these nations. If growth does not resume relatively soon, then the political support for continued fiscal and structural adjustment could further erode.
In Europe, a key challenge is to strengthen the economic foundations of monetary union at the system level. This needs to be done in a way that combines deeper integration with good incentives and governance so that it can be broadly supported by both the core and peripheral countries. In this respect, it is important to recall that the architects of EMU from the outset defined it as a project of Economic and Monetary Union.
It would demonstrate a commitment toward greater integration that would enhance the credibility that monetary union is indeed irreversible.
It would help to sever the link between the fiscal position of individual governments and the health of their banks.
By eliminating the scope for national bias, it would strengthen market confidence that large hidden losses are not likely to be buried within the banking system.
It would move against fragmentation and promote re-integration of the European banking system.
It would help to make monetary policy more effective in supporting activity in the peripheral countries. A critical problem in Europe right now is that private borrowing costs are very low in countries like Germany where the economy is operating close to full capacity, but quite high in countries like Italy and Spain—which are struggling in terms of economic performance. The monetary policy transmission channels in Europe are impaired. Banking union would make them work better.
It would underscore the fact that a euro is a euro and will remain a euro throughout Europe, reducing perceptions of redenomination risk. This would make depositors less prone to move their funds from the periphery to the core and strengthen the resiliency of the system against shocks.
It would help foster greater integration of the European economy, with potentially significant macroeconomic benefits.
In short, banking union has the potential to make a powerful contribution to eurozone stability and growth, both in the short term and in the long term.
Now, will moving to a pan-European banking system be easy? Of course not. It will require a common set of standards to be applied across the whole system. This may well reveal shortcomings among particular banks and the burden is not likely to fall evenly across the European Union. It will be important to identify the sources of capital that will fill any such holes in order to ensure ongoing stability and to avoid constraining the availability of credit.
The process of banking union appropriately begins with a single supervisory mechanism. But, a common resolution authority and integrated deposit insurance framework that is both credible and consistent with good incentives are likely to be required, as well. The task at hand will likely require each country to give up a small amount of sovereignty with respect to banking oversight so that the outcome is viewed as fully credible. In my view, this is a critical next step in the "one money, one market" project underlying the EU agenda.
I'd now like to introduce Ambassador Vale de Almeida as our next speaker. The ambassador has been here in his current role since August 2010. Prior to his current appointment, he worked as a director general at the European Commission (EC) and has had a long and distinguished career at the EC dating back to 1982. So he is extraordinarily well-versed to speak on the issues of interdependence and the policy challenges we face. Welcome Ambassador Vale de Almeida.

The Combustible Affair of Ensuring/Insuring Theater Safety in Colonial Singapore
"Disentangling Colonial Archives: The Combustible Affair of Ensuring/Insuring Theater Safety in Colonial Singapore" will finally come out this month as a chapter in the collection: "Entangled Performance Histories."
In April 2020, I was lost in an exciting writing project, oblivious to the world shutting down to a global pandemic. I was back in the deep end of my 19th-century colonial Southeast Asia archive, thinking through materials that didn't make the cut to my dissertation. Assuming that the quarantine would last only a couple of months, I comforted myself in having a sequestered time alone in trying to flex my limp theatre historian muscle.
What is theatre? was the perennial question that I kept circling back to in this article. This wasn't a philosophical question. In finding my answers, I ended up, once again, in two unlikely places in the archive, and, once more, I had to think through the mind of the colonizer.
From the 1883 report of Singapore Municipal Engineer, Thomas Cargill, I uncovered architectural details of six theatres in five different locations: in North Bridge Road, New Bridge Road, Smith Street, North Street, and two on Merchant Road.
The Municipal Ordinance 1887—a by-law that made provisions for the Regulations of theatres and theatrical performances in Singapore (revised in 1895 and again in 1897) listed what the administration considered "theatre." In the ordinance, these were: "any stage play, circus, conjuring, dancing, wayang, mayang, mundu, joget, ronggeng, or other operatic or theatrical performance of any sort whatever."
Ultimately, I followed the debates on the Municipal Report between 1892 to 1917 on how the official and legal usage of the term theatre is intertwined with the insurance policies of the period. What is now known as the Victoria Theatre in Singapore was not considered a theatre until the turn of the 20th century because the insurance policy that the local government was paying was only that of a Music Hall rate. This, in turn, influenced the performances that were permitted by the Police and Fire Department.
Theatre is an art of risk-taking, but the insurance premium paid for the risks has more to say about what was theatre, and what was not, in colonial Singapore/British Malaya.
There are many other archival "finds" that I am thrilled to share in this article. The book can now be pre-ordered on Routledge's website. Or email me if you need help accessing my chapter.

WashPost Raises Disclosure Issues – LA Times Responds*
by Alexander Russo
Washington Post media reporter Paul Farhi makes several good points in his latest piece (Foundations fund L.A. Times' education reporting. A conflict?) — and the LA Times appears to have already begun to respond.
Farhi's strongest point isn't so much that the LA Times and other outlets shouldn't take outside money at all — this seems unrealistic — but that they should do a much, much better job of disclosing the funding in general — and in particular when they're writing about an issue or story with direct relations to a funder.
The background, which you may recall from a post I wrote a while back, is that the newly-expanded LA Times education team is funded in part by philanthropies with strong support for charter schools and other specific points of view. The paper was pretty clear about the situation, and made the usual disclaimers about editorial control. They didn't name one of the foundations involved specifically, but it wasn't hard to figure out.
[Disclosure: This site is funded by the AFT and the Education Post (among whose funders is the Broad Foundation).]
Since then, however, the paper hasn't done a great job of making sure that readers know that the coverage is funded in part with $800,000 in outside money, reports Farhi. Reporter Howard Blume has mentioned the funding in some of his stories, but other pieces — including those about a charter school network that's also funded by one of the LAT supporters and another about a funder-sponsored poll– didn't include prominent disclosure:
"[LA Times managing editor* Mitra] Kalita said the newspaper discloses such relationships when it reports directly on an organization or individual, but not when an individual has a secondary or indirect involvement in a story, as Baxter does with Alliance."
That approach might sound reasonable, but Farhi cites a journalism professor who says that's not nearly enough and calls for "complete, exhaustive, repetitive transparency" whether the relationship is direct or indirect.
Upon reflection, the LA Times seems to agree. As of yesterday afternoon, the charter school poll story has been updated with the following information:
"The Broad Foundation has given money to the California Community Foundation and the United Way of Greater Los Angeles to support Education Matters, a new Times digital initiative devoted to more in-depth reporting on schools."
And without quite admitting it's a change of policy, the LA Times' Hillary Manning says in an email:"Our policy is to include a disclosure regarding the Education Matters funders for stories that have been published since the launch of the project, which was August 18, 2015."
If I understand correctly that means that stories like this mid-October Howard Blume piece about the effort to organize teachers against charter expansion (Unions forge alliance to fight growth of charter schools in L.A.) should soon include a disclosure statement.
Correction: The original version gave an incorrect title for Kalita. She's ME, not digital editor.

Q: Realm note based App not properly deleting the Correct Object When a cell is deleted, the item at the end of the list takes the place of the item that just got deleted. This only happens when there are more than 3 items in the list.
In the gif below I delete numbers 3 and 4 which leaves me with numbers 1,2,5 in the simulator. HOWEVER in the Realm file I have numbers 1,2,4. I have no clue why it does this?

Data Model
import Foundation
import RealmSwift

class Item: Object {
    @objc dynamic var name = ""

}

View Controller
import UIKit
import RealmSwift

class ListViewController: UITableViewController {

let realm = try! Realm()
var itemArray : Results<Item>?

var item:Item?

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    self.itemArray = realm.objects(Item.self)

}

@IBAction func addButtonPressed(_ sender: UIBarButtonItem) {

    var textField = UITextField()
    let alert = UIAlertController(title: "Add New Item", message: "", preferredStyle: .alert)
    alert.view.tintColor = UIColor.red

    let action = UIAlertAction(title: "Add Item", style: .default) { (action) in

     let newItem = Item()
     newItem.name = textField.text!

        try! self.realm.write {

            self.realm.add(newItem)

        }
        self.tableView.reloadData()

    }
    alert.addTextField { (alertTextField) in
        alertTextField.placeholder = "Create new item"
        textField = alertTextField

    }
    alert.addAction(action)
    present(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)

}

override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
    return self.itemArray!.count//Size of the Array
}

override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
    let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "ItemCell", for: indexPath)//Asigns the Protocol Cell
    let data = self.itemArray![indexPath.row]
    cell.textLabel?.text = data.name

    return cell
}

override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, commit editingStyle: UITableViewCellEditingStyle, forRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
    if editingStyle == .delete {
        if let item = itemArray?[indexPath.row] {

            try! self.realm.write {
                self.realm.delete(item)
            }
            tableView.deleteRows(at: [indexPath], with: .automatic)
        }

    }
}

A: You are retrieving an unsorted result set from Realm, which as per documentation does not necessarily retain insertion order after deletions (basically when you remove 3, then 5 is shifted in its place):

Note that the order of Results is only guaranteed to stay consistent when the query is sorted. For performance reasons, insertion order is not guaranteed to be preserved.

So there are two things you can do:
1.) sort the result set
2.) instead of assuming you're only deleting a single object and otherwise have no movements of any sort, you can rely on Realm's own diffing + change set evaluation with a notification token so that you receive a change set for any possible change that happens to the result set.

// see https://realm.io/docs/swift/latest/#collection-notifications
class ViewController: UITableViewController {
    var notificationToken: NotificationToken? = nil

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        let realm = try! Realm()
        let results = realm.objects(Person.self).filter("age > 5")

        // Observe Results Notifications
        notificationToken = results.observe { [weak self] (changes: RealmCollectionChange) in
            guard let tableView = self?.tableView else { return }
            switch changes {
            case .initial:
                // Results are now populated and can be accessed without blocking the UI
                tableView.reloadData()
            case .update(_, let deletions, let insertions, let modifications):
                // Query results have changed, so apply them to the UITableView
                tableView.beginUpdates()
                tableView.insertRows(at: insertions.map({ IndexPath(row: $0, section: 0) }),
                                     with: .automatic)
                tableView.deleteRows(at: deletions.map({ IndexPath(row: $0, section: 0)}),
                                     with: .automatic)
                tableView.reloadRows(at: modifications.map({ IndexPath(row: $0, section: 0) }),
                                     with: .automatic)
                tableView.endUpdates()
            case .error(let error):
                // An error occurred while opening the Realm file on the background worker thread
                fatalError("\(error)")
            }
        }
    }

    deinit {
        notificationToken?.invalidate()
    }

A monument marks the Macedon Ranges Federation Trail at Lancefield. The Macedon Ranges Federation Trail commemorates the centenary of Federation of the Australian Commonwealth in 1901.
Lancefield falls in the clan territory of the Wurundjeriballuk and an important Aboriginal site exists in the area. European settlement began during the 1830's, the first township was established in the 1850`s at Deep Creek, north of Lancefield, however, persistent flooding necessitated the move to higher ground. The rich agricultural land supported farming and produced a fine variety of crops and early industries included a malthouse, brewery and flour mill. In 1860, explorers Burke and WIlls camped near Lancefieldd and the site is marked with a memorial stone close to Burke and Wills Track. The town's attractive streetscape affords an indication of its heritage.

Congratulations Petersburg. A 30% advanced placement participation rate is outstanding. I'm not sure what minority enrollment or economic disadvantage has to do with anything though, we are talking about scholars here. Well done!

US News is not credible. They use metrics which include adjustments for race and economic status. US Dept of Education statistics show Haines High School scoring higher. See Schooldigger.com.

spondylitis rhizomelique
Ankylosing spondylitis is one of a group of inflammatory rheumatic diseases known as spondylarthropathies - these diseases are characterised by predominant involvement of axial and peripheral joints and entheses (areas where tendons, ligaments or joint capsules attach to bone).
ankylosing spondylitis is a common seronegative spondylitis typically affecting the spine and sacroiliac joints
the prevalence amongst white males has been stated as about 0.5%
however NICE state that prevalence of 'clinically significant ankylosing spondylitis' is about 0.15%
annual incidence is 6.9 per 100,000 in the UK
male Caucasians are affected more severely and more often (3:1) than females. The mean age of onset is between 26 years of age
prevalence of ankylosing spondylitis in a population mirrors the frequency of the associated HLA-B27
aetiology of ankylosing spondylitis probably has a genetic component as 90% of Caucasians with the disease have the human leucocyte antigen HLA-B27, compared with around 10% of the general population of North and Central Europe
the disease is highly debilitating and can reduce quality of life as a result of stiffness, pain, fatigue, poor sleep, anxiety or the unwanted effects of medication
reported unemployment rates are three times higher among people with ankylosing spondylitis than in the general population
about a third of people with ankylosing spondylitis may be unable to work altogether, with a further 15% reporting some changes to their working lives (2)
ankylosing spondylitis is associated with an increased risk of death: it is estimated that patients have a standardised mortality ratio of 1.5 or greater (2)
therapeutic intervention aims to reduce inflammation and, therefore, pain and stiffness; to alleviate systemic symptoms such as fatigue; and to slow or stop the long-term progression of the disease, particularly the progressive loss of spinal mobility caused by ankylosis of the spine

Upcoming is the days of seamless integrated sub-micro applications.  I have a vision of developing many application they talk together.  The ecommerce that I am going to talk about is a combination of many applications, to name a few:

1.  A portal front-end which is java-script and static page driven application
2.  A content service for assest management
3.  A Business control center to connect to the content service
4.  An orchestrator which controls the publishing work flow
5.  A cart back-end application
6.  An erp for inventory and order management
7.  A CRM for customer relationship and identity management
8.  A geo location and map integration system
9.  A logistics and vehicle travel and distribution system
10. Product management system with hierarchical catelog system
11. Humar resource management system with payment and taxes
12. Billing and accounting system
13. Data migration, back-up and maintenance system

A many of them will have to have hosted for multi-client mode so that, they work in the clould.  To deliver a holistic experience to the cloud user all these applications has to be built and communicate seamlessly.

The first step towards this direction is to build a portal solution which is java-script and widget driven.

The second step will be to have Catalog system and Cart etc.

Reports: Gregg Popovich, Kawhi Leonard 'trying to schedule' meeting to discuss $219M supermax deal
Jason Owens
Yahoo Sports 12 June 2018, 00:25 UTC
The Spurs and Kawhi Leonard appear to be ready to put their differences aside with multiple reports pointing to the two working to reach an agreement. (Getty)
The ongoing saga between the San Antonio Spurs and superstar Kawhi Leonard appears to be reaching a tipping point.
And, according to a pair of reports, signs are pointing to an amicable resolution between the two sides.
The San Antonio Express-News' Jabari Young reported on Monday that Leonard and head coach Gregg Popovich are working toward a meeting to discuss Leonard's concerns and, more importantly, the $219 million supermax extension that's on the table.
From the Express-News:
With the NBA Draft approaching, the Spurs are attempting to settle in-house business first, starting with Leonard. League sources tell the Express-News head coach Gregg Popovich and Leonard are trying to schedule a meeting, possibly this week, to discuss any issues or concerns Leonard may have, and hopefully come to a decision on offering Leonard the five-year, $219 million supermax extension he is eligible to receive.
The Express-News also reports that Leonard is "96, 97 percent" recovered from the quad injury that kept him out of all but nine games last season.
Basketball Insider's Steve Kyler, meanwhile, reports that Leonard expects to "hammer out an extension" with the Spurs and that he is "not looking for the door" despite ongoing reports of discord with the team and how his rehab from his quad injury has been handled.
I had dinner with someone close to Kawhi last week – word is he is completely fine with the situation, expects to sit with the Spurs and hammer out an extension. There are clearly things to talk about, but his side isn't looking for the door. https://t.co/Tib3IjeqCk
— Steve Kyler (@stevekylerNBA) June 11, 2018
Tensions between the two sides have centered on reportedly different approaches on how to handle the injury with Leonard working independently from the team in New York to rehab his quad during the season after the team cleared him to play.
Leonard was reported to be ready to return to the court multiple times during the season before he eventually missed the playoffs.
Popovich was often gruff when asked about Leonard's status, referring questions about his status to Kawhi "and his group." He also appeared to take a not-so subtle dig at Leonard during the playoffs when he praised LaMarcus Aldridge for "playing through adversity and being there for his teammates night after night after night."
But when one side is offering the talents of a bonafide superstar and the other is bringing $219 million to the table, a lot of differences can be set aside. As of now, signs point to that being the case.
• Braves star robbed of more than $100K while pitching
• Former Patriots lineman Jones dies at 39
• Clemens' homer-mashing kid is taunting everyone
• Jeff Passan: Is one genius' dramatic proposal the way to fix MLB?
