Our Mission Following the example of St Francis of Assisi. we strive to enhance the lives of all animals by helping end animal hunger Fuzzy Friends Pet Food Pantry, a ministry of St Anne's Episcopal Church for low income people who cannot afford dog or cat food. I started Fuzzy Friends Pet Food Pantry in 2017. I have learned people with low incomes typically surrender their animal when they cannot afford dog or cat food and unfortunately their pets are surrendered to the animal shelter where many end up being euthanized. We came up with Fuzzy Friends Pet Food Pantry because we want to prevent people from having to surrender their pets because they cannot afford to feed them. Fuzzy Friends Pet Food Pantry currently serves 80 people a month. The volume of people in need is very high. We are open the 1st and the 4th Saturday of each month, from 10:00 AM-12:30 PM and also the 2nd & 3rd friday, from 10:30 AM-12:00 PM. If you are 13-17 years old, your parent, guardian or other caretaker must be with you at all times.

The PA microphone assembly is NOT weather proof and needs to be mounted in a dry location. This emergency siren kit only draws 1.5amps so it can be installed on just about any 12vDC system. We sell many of these to volunteer firefighters for their vehicles warning system. If you are looking for a siren to get the attention of others, without spending a fortune, this is your answer.

We had a vision to produce high quality nappies with stunning whimsical prints at an affordable price to encourage families to help the environment by reducing the amount of disposables that end up in landfill each year and to help families save money. To make it all that bit easier to afford cloth nappies we offer Afterpay and Zippay at the checkout also!
We felt it was of utmost importance that our nappies were produced ethically, that the factory paid their staff a fair wage and that our products would be crafted of high quality materials. It took months of research to find a factory who we felt were suitable to produce our products but it was time well spent.
We have used the stunning artwork from several artists across the world from Jade Nellens - a watercolour artist in the USA to Monique Cannon who is a chalk artist from the Gold Coast, just to name a couple. We also have some other amazing Australian artists currently working on some designs for our fourth release - one being the very talented Jodie Freeman who is a modern Aboriginal artist! So stay tuned for those amazing prints that will be released later in the year.
We pride ourselves on our customer service. We are available to answer any questions you may have day and most of the night. We value all of customers and love taking the time to discuss any questions or concerns you may have. If you are local to the Gold Coast we are more then happy to give you a demo on how to use our nappies and you are welcome to try them on your bub before you buy - completely obligation free!

As terrifying details of the hand-to-hand conflict in which Indian soldiers were assaulted with crude and barbaric weapons emerged, most of us were left feeling indignant and anguished.
While there were some voices in the media asking for an economic boycott of China, there were more than a few wanting the Indian Army to give a befitting reply to China with an aggressive military response. This isn't the first time that the Indian public and Indian news media have debated over a border conflict involving India and nor is it the first time that casual warmongering has taken place across our television channels and on social media.
Honour is important. Our national pride understandably demands that we ask our forces to go all out and give the enemy a bloody nose, but who ultimately pays the enormous price of war?
Is it the mother who will never see her 22-year-old son again? The 16-days-old daughter who will grow up without a father? Or the wife who did not realise that the last time she spoke to her husband would be the final conversation between them.
I spoke to Salma Shafeeq, wife of Major Shafeeq Mahmood Khan Ghori, who sacrificed his life on 1 July 2001 in Baramullah during Operation Rakshak, about the consequences faced by the family of a soldier killed in action.
You had been married only 10 years when your husband was killed in ops. Your children were only four and eight respectively. Can you take me back to that time and speak a little about it?
Our last family posting was in Amritsar in 1999. After that my husband, who belonged to 172 Field Regiment, was sent to serve 30 Rashtriya Rifles in Baramulla district in Kashmir. My children and I moved to Bangalore to the family accommodation to be close to my mother. I was only 19 when I got married and I had no idea what I was signing up for. I imagined a life full of good postings, parties and romancing around India.
At what point did you become aware of the sacrifices an army life called for?
In the beginning, it was difficult for me to accept the fact that my husband was constantly on the move. I was left alone for long periods when he would be on an exercise or in a field posting. There were no mobile phones then and I used to spend hours sitting by the phone waiting for his call. Then one day he sat me down and explained what it was like to be an army wife.
In the years that followed, he had many high-risk postings. Back then, Punjab and the Northeast were all dangerous places to be. Major Ghori served in Tripura, Punjab, and Kashmir. But with time I became strong. I knew he loved the country the most and his kids and wife came a close second.
Did you hear from him often when he was in Baramulla?
Whenever my husband was away from me, we would write to each other every day. He continued to write to me from Baramulla every day, and every once a week or longer, we would speak on the phone as well.
After coming back from one of his operations he told me that he had captured some militants who had ammunition on them. I was happy to hear that and hoped he would get an award for his bravery. The day he was killed and officers and their wives from the sub area came to inform me about his passing away. I thought they had come to tell me that he had been given a bravery award.
We spoke for the last time on 28 June 2001. I did not know he was going for another operation that day. As was my habit, I asked him if he was eating well and getting enough rest. He said kahan neend yaar, kahan khana peena, ham log bhatak rahey hain. At the end of all those conversations I remember, he used to keep saying 'stay strong'. I never realised that he was preparing me for a future then that I had not yet foreseen.
Salma Shafeeq, wife of Major Shafeeq, outside Golden Temple, Amritsar
How did you hear the news of his death?
Two days after we had last spoken, he died in combat on the morning of 1 July 2001. I had been living with my mother during the summer vacations. The landline hadn't still been shifted to the new address and there was no mobile phone either.
The local army from sub area in Bangalore was trying to contact me since the morning. I returned to my accommodation with my children in the evening and I noticed that there were a lot of officers waiting outside. I thought they had come to give me the good news of my husband being awarded and the thought brought a smile on my face.
I went inside and started putting things in order when someone rang the bell and a stream of people started coming in. I still didn't have a clue and kept smiling to myself, now sure of the good news I was going to get.
Then two ladies made me sit on the sofa and then sitting on either side of me, they held my shoulder and asked me when I last spoke to my husband. I told them it was two days ago and he had told me he was going to some jungles. I was going on and on proudly about how he had caught militants a few days back. And then they said, listen, your husband is no more.
I told them there had been a mistake. 'No, no, my husband is ok. We have been speaking. You are surely mistaken,' I said. Then they asked if they could speak to some other family members and I pointed towards the phone book lying near my landline.
My son was only four years old then. The next day, July 2, was his first day at school in lower kindergarden (LKG). I get goose flesh even today as I relive that day.
The next day, I went to the airport to receive him for the last time. This time he came in a box clad in the Tricolour. I also received his last letter on the day we did his last rites with military honours. I remember I kept begging my brother-in-law to open the casket to ensure that it was his body because I was in complete denial.
'Just be strong and live life as though I am always around you. Never deprive yourself or the children of anything just because I am not with you', my husband used to write to me in his letters. I always assumed that he was talking about his absence while on duty. After his death I realised that he was telling me something then, he was preparing for the future.
What do you feel as the wife of a valiant soldier when you hear all the talk about war, whether it is with Pakistan or with China?
I feel no child, no wife and no parent should go through the grief and bereavement one goes through when one loses their loved one to war. More than the gain, there are endless tragedies and loss that goes with it.
Civilians will not understand what that feels like for the family.
In fact, even my husband used to say that unless and until there is a war and army people make sacrifices for you and beat the enemy, only then our civil counterparts will understand the importance of the Indian Army because they think our life is all about fun postings, parties, socialising and the good life.
What has Major Ghori's supreme sacrifice meant to you?
As a brave soldier's wife, I am wearing his cap on my head in a way. It is a proud feeling. I think of myself as his stronger half, not his better half because I am literally in his boots. I took up everything from where he left.
Even now after so many years when I wake up in the morning, I get the thought that he is no more and today is another day that I have to live life without him and carry out my duties just as he would have wished. The army has taken great care of me. My husband's brother and other officers have been like my family, always ready to help.
But I have had to play the dual role of father and mother. I have felt let down by the government when I had to run around government offices for paperwork for years. They have no empathy. They do not bother. Those are the times when I have wondered why my husband had to lay down his life for these people who have no empathy in them and who do not value his sacrifice.
I do not want any widow to go through all that I have gone through in all these years. Whether her husband died in action or not, I do not want them to suffer. Even now I am helping a 26-year-old jawan's wife who is going through so much pain. Her husband died in training and her life is stuck because of the complicated paperwork involved. I am trying to help her get educated now by raising whatever money I can. She is only a school pass-out and has children to look after as well.
Major Shafeeq Mahmood Khan Ghori during operations in Kashmir; (In Frame) Major Shafeeq with his family; in uniform
You have turned your tragedy into a mission by helping wives and children of martyred soldiers get back on their feet. To reach out to bereaved families and to take away their pain because you have been through it yourself is an extraordinary act of human kindness.
That is the only thing that makes me sleep well at night. These women live in villages. They are often very young and uneducated. Sometimes getting their paperwork sorted so they can be given the pension that is due to them can take years. But I do everything within my means to help them with that.
While the army gives you enough to secure yourself financially as a widow, it can get complicated when the government offices get involved. For instance, the state government has still not given me my dues. They had promised to give me some land. But in 19 years so many directors have come and gone at the Sainik Board—they are the ones who have to resolve this—but nothing has been done. Even the defence minister in 2015 had said on a news channel that he will get all the pending cases resolved within 15 days. I am still waiting.
Does a soldier die for his battalion or for his country? Whose loss is it when a nation loses a soldier?
The soldier dies for his nation. By doing so he makes his battalion and his family proud. But ultimately at a personal level, it is the family's loss. Every time we lose a soldier, all the other families, including mine, go back to our own pain and relive it all over again. For us, the statement that time heals doesn't hold true. The grief keeps coming back. I had to do a counsellor's course before starting to counsel others because I used to keep revisiting my own grief.
What is the one thing that you as the proud wife of an officer who died for his country would want to say to the nation?
I want to say that our army is the strongest in the world. Our saviours are those who are serving and guarding us 24×7 around all the territories leaving the comfort of their homes and families. We need to stand by them and pray for them and for those who have passed away defending us.
Each and every citizen of the country should be grateful to them and their families and acknowledge their sacrifices. The families of soldiers killed in action carry a huge burden of grief on their shoulders. Hence, make things easier for them. The sacrifices of our men in uniform should not go in vain.
I want to add one more thing. Colonel Santosh Babu's family received Rs 5 crores, a job letter and land. I commend the government on the prompt action on Col Babu's case. I am happy for his family. But what about the 19 jawans who were slain in Galwan? Why can't we treat their sacrifices at par? Death is a leveller. They all died for one country. Shouldn't the families of other soldiers too get equally compensated? They come from economically backward backgrounds; from villages, some very remote. Why do everything for just one family because it will make headlines in the press?

Kent Jordan (* 28. Oktober 1958 in New Orleans, Louisiana) ist ein amerikanischer Flötist des Modern Jazz.

Jordan stammt aus einer musikalischen Familie – sein Vater ist der Jazz-Saxophonist und Musikpädagoge Kidd Jordan, sein Bruder der Trompeter Marlon Jordan – und lernte zunächst Trompete, bevor er sich der Konzertflöte zuwendete. Neben dem Sopraninstrument spielt er auch Alt- und Bassflöte. Beim Moers Festival 1982 war er erstmals, gemeinsam mit seinem Vater, in Europa zu hören. Jordan ist als Smooth Jazz- bzw. Fusionmusiker etabliert und legte vier eigene Einspielungen mit "No Question About It", "Night Air", "Essence" und "Out of this World" (mit seiner Schwester Stephanie als Sängerin) vor. Er spielte aber auch auf Einspielungen von Bheki Mseleku, Wynton Marsalis, Elvin Jones, Kevin Eubanks, seinem Onkel Alvin Batiste oder seinem Bruder Marlon Jordan. Anfang der 1990er Jahre wurde der Flötist, der durch seinen strahlenden Ton und klassischen Ansatz auffällt, mehrfach in den Down-Beat-Polls als eines der Talente herausgestellt, die weitere Beachtung verdienten.

A very short preview of what appears to be Matthew Broderick jumping back into his most famous character, the title role in 1986's Ferris Bueller's Day Off, for an upcoming Super Bowl commercial has found its way online.
What the commercial is for or what Bueller might be up to is not yet know, but he appears to be in a rather lovely hotel. Has he gone on to make millions as most would have expected him to do, or is he just up to his old tricks, using his charm to get what he wants? Will his best friends be making cameos? Who knows!

You can't really review The Lion King. It's one of the crown jewels of Disney's line of timeless hand–drawn animated classics, and my own personal favorite of the bunch.
It's jam–packed with a great cast of voice actors, gorgeous and vibrant environments, settings, and colors, and some of the most unforgettable songs any movie has ever had. Not to mention the wonderful story of a young lion cub who's tricked into leaving the lands he was to one day become king of after an incident involving his stoic father–king and his deviously evil uncle.

Geek Discussion: Would You Pay $60 To Watch Brett Ratner's 'Tower Heist' At Home Early?
By The Movie God | @ | October 5th, 2011 at 10:03 pm
We've heard talks about plans to try offering big Hollywood movies on demand not too long after they're released in theaters for a while now, and it looks like those who support the idea are ready to test the waters.
According to the LA Times, Universal Pictures will offer up Brett Ratner's new movie, Tower Heist, three weeks after its November 4, 2011 theatrical release through Universal parent company Comcast's on demand services. The movie will only be available to 500,000 customers in the Atlanta and Portland, Oregon areas to test the waters of this new option, and those of you who have this option will only have to throw down $59.99 to check the movie out.
Universal and Comcast will pay close attention to how well the movie does released this early and at this price, while firm eyes will also be focused on how offering a movie three weeks after theatrical release affects box office numbers.

DVD Review: Ferris Bueller's Day Off (Blu-Ray)
By Jack Bauerstein83 | May 27th, 2009 at 6:59 pm
Bueller…Bueller…Blu-ray Edition
Directed by John Hughes
Starring Matthew Broderick, Mia Sara, Alan Ruck
Back in the 1980's, John Hughes was the king of teen comedies. Anything the writer/director created was basically a license to print money and mostly stood the test of time. One such movie is Ferris Bueller's Day Off, which is released now for the first time on Blu-Ray.
Ferris Bueller follows an atypical day in the life high school senior and "righteous dude" Ferris Bueller (Matthew Broderick). Deciding early on that the day is too gorgeous to be trapped in school, he fakes a sickness and decides to play hooky. With his best friend Cameron (Alan Ruck) and his girlfriend Sloan (Mia Sara) by his side, he embarks on the single most exciting cut day ever. He'd better be quick on his toes though, as his sister Jeanie (Jennifer Grey ) and the Dean of Students are on to him and would like nothing but to catch him red-handed.
Now 23-years-old, Ferris Bueller is still the gold-standard when it comes to movies on Senior cut day. I have not seen any made since this movie and there is a reason why. The writing by Hughes is pretty great and while not timeless, is entertaining and realistic to that time period. The movie is quite tame compared to the teen movies that are out in the market now, but I think that is part of its charm. Hughes never insert anything shocking into the script for a laugh but rather write scenes that are funny with dialogue that is funny, a novel concept now in teen movies. The movie also has such a likable lead in Broderick.

Individual development for personal goals.
Receive one on one planning and coaching with an Organisational Psychology Specialist.
Individual development plans and coaching can be beneficial for various reasons. Whether you want to overcome a performance deficit or to accelerate the growth of a high achiever, SACS can tailor a development plan to meet the needs of the individual and the organisation.
One of the key questions that must be asked when creating a development plan for an individual relates to the person's core characteristics, such as their intelligence and personality. Because these characteristics are heavily genetically determined, understanding them can help you develop development plans that are much more likely to succeed. Once you understand an individual's personality and intelligence components you are in a far better position to create learning or coaching programs which will build on their core strengths or address natural areas of difficulty.
Development and agreement of clear objectives for the coaching engagement: where will we be at the completion of the coaching activity?
Reality check: how close are we to this ideal state – are the necessary changes substantial or minor? Is this fine-tuning or substantial change?
Skills activities: Identification of and coaching in the skills activities needed to achieve the necessary changes identified in step 2.
Real world practice: The person undergoing coaching, practices the techniques in the work world. The person self-assesses and keeps a record of developments and self-assessments.
Completion of the activity: final self-assessment and re-run of 360 degree feedback if it was used at the beginning. Conclusions drawn about the success of the coaching activity.
SACS coaching activities are targeted, specific and of a pre-determined length. There is strong evidence suggesting that, for most purposes, coaching engagements in excess of 6 meetings tend not to bring about change. We believe that the success of coaching activities should be assessed by the degree of change over the engagement, not just by the self-reported satisfaction of the participant.
At SACS, we believe that career transition management is not just about helping a person find a new job, it is about developing skills that will continue to help the person throughout their career. So for whatever reason you may want to support a departing employee in their job search, let us help.
Sometimes the most valuable individual development decision is to decide that this person is not a natural fit for the job that they are in and to redeploy them in a role that will naturally play to their strengths. SACS has often brought about such an outcome leading to a pain free and economic repositioning of the employee in a role in which he or she immediately succeeds. Way better than weeks or months of fruitless coaching.
The importance of individual development plans and coaching is well known; similarly evidenced based, best practice processes.

but something about the context via the server is causing it to fall over.  Any debug clues greatly appreciated.

A: You don't try to call update_attribute but udpate_attribute.
You just have a simple misspelling in there.

This individual's Overall Mood is generally highest after a daily total of 1 serving of Dark Chocolate Trail Mix consumption over the previous 7 days.
This individual's Overall Mood is generally 1% higher than normal after a total of 1 serving Dark Chocolate Trail Mix consumption over the previous 7 days. This individual's data suggests with a medium degree of confidence (p=0.13401984820722, 95% CI -0.367 to 0.033) that Dark Chocolate Trail Mix has a weakly negative predictive relationship (R=-0.17) with Overall Mood. The highest quartile of Overall Mood measurements were observed following an average 1.27 serving Dark Chocolate Trail Mix per day. The lowest quartile of Overall Mood measurements were observed following an average 1.4303797468354 serving Dark Chocolate Trail Mix per day.Overall Mood is generally 3% lower than normal after a total of 1.4303797468354 serving of Dark Chocolate Trail Mix consumption over the previous 7 days. Overall Mood is generally 1% higher after a total of 1.27 serving of Dark Chocolate Trail Mix consumption over the previous 7 days.
The objective of this study is to determine the nature of the relationship (if any) between Dark Chocolate Trail Mix and Overall Mood. Additionally, we attempt to determine the Dark Chocolate Trail Mix values most likely to produce optimal Overall Mood values.
It was assumed that 0.5 hours would pass before a change in Dark Chocolate Trail Mix would produce an observable change in Overall Mood. It was assumed that Dark Chocolate Trail Mix could produce an observable change in Overall Mood for as much as 7 days after the stimulus event.
25 raw Dark Chocolate Trail Mix measurements with 31 changes spanning 104 days from 2013-01-16 to 2013-04-29 were used in this analysis. 13649 raw Overall Mood measurements with 1194 changes spanning 2525 days from 2012-05-06 to 2019-04-04 were used in this analysis.
Consistent findings observed by different persons in different places with different samples strengthens the likelihood of an effect. Furthermore, in accordance with the law of large numbers (LLN), the predictive power and accuracy of these results will continually grow over time. 127 paired data points were used in this analysis. Assuming that the relationship is merely coincidental, as the participant independently modifies their Dark Chocolate Trail Mix consumption values, the observed strength of the relationship will decline until it is below the threshold of significance. To it another way, in the case that we do find a spurious correlation, suggesting that banana intake improves mood for instance, one will likely increase their banana intake. Due to the fact that this correlation is spurious, it is unlikely that you will see a continued and persistent corresponding increase in mood. So over time, the spurious correlation will naturally dissipate.
A plausible bio-chemical mechanism between cause and effect is critical. This is where human brains excel. Based on our responses so far, 6 humans feel that there is a plausible mechanism of action and 4 feel that any relationship observed between Dark Chocolate Trail Mix consumption and Overall Mood is coincidental.


In the course of the last decade, museums and art historians have worked consistently on ideas about expanding the standard storyline on modern art to include work by artists of color. One of the largest and most thorough to date is "Soul of a Nation: Art in the Age of Black Power 1963-1983". It opens Saturday at The Broad.
I happened to see this show in show 2017 at the Tate in London, which organized it. I remember being impressed by the number of L.A.-based artists included and the number key works in the show.

L.A.'s vibrant and long-underrecognized scene was galvanized by heightened awareness of Black identity as it evolved in the civil rights struggles of the 1960s, especially the Watts Rebellion of 1965. Artists and teachers from that period include John Outterbridge and Noah Purifoy (1917-2004), both with topical pieces in the show.
L.A., however, was just one center of operations. Tate curators Mark Godfrey and Zoe Whitley did thorough research to present groups of artists who were working in Washington, D.C., Chicago and New York. The show here at The Broad was organized by Sarah Loyer. Though the politics of those years is rarely out of sight, the exhibition includes abstract art, figurative paintings, jazzy, mystical assemblages, photography and overtly agit-prop graphics. The position of the show is that all of the art is in some way political. As one artist said, Black art is any art made by Black artists.
The first gallery is devoted to Spiral, a group of Black artists who supported each other's ideals and had just one show of only black and white work in New York in 1965, including some of Romare Bearden's greatest collages.

With some 60 artists, the exhibition casts a wide net but well- known artists are given the prominence they deserve. From Los Angeles, Betye Saar's assemblages about racial stereotypes such as Aunt Jemima are featured along with a recreation of an installation of her art from her 1973 survey at Cal State L.A. that shows the beginnings of her interest in the role of magic and animism. Another gallery includes the figurative graphic works of Charles White, David Hammons and Timothy Washington, all of whom were show together at LACMA in 1971.
Icon for My Man Superman (Superman Never Saved any Black People - Bobby Seale). Barkley Hendricks. 1969. Photo courtesy of The Broad.
Another section of the show concerns Black Portraits and how Black identity could be represented without resorting to cliché or worse. One of the great talents in that regard was Barkley Hendricks, (1945-2017) who represented himself in heroic, proud stances. His self-portrait against a silver background, arms folded, wearing a Superman t-shirt, shades and an Afro is heightened by its title: Icon for My Man Superman (Superman Never Saved any Black People—Bobby Seale), 1969. A gesture of support for the Black Panther leader, the artist takes the position of representing himself as heroic, saving himself rather than waiting for a white hero.
The exhibition includes artists who made the then controversial decision to paint abstractions. In fact, the entrance to the show is dominated by an unstretched canvas covered in splatters of paint. Washington, D.C- based Sam Gilliam's convergence of Pollock-like abstraction and the color field interests of the early '60s, rejected the formal restrictions of modern painting. Another part of the show includes magnificent examples of monumental canvases by Frank Bowling and Jack Whitten (1939-2018).

Some works did not travel from the London show but the Broad added other pieces. As important, they dedicated a large amount of their upstairs permanent collection space to works that they own by Julie Mehretu, Mark Bradford, Kara Walker, Glenn Ligon, Ellen Gallagher and Kerry James Marshall. In effect, it is a presentation of subsequent generations response to those in the main show while integrating them within the established canon of Warhol, Twombly and Ruscha. There is an unprecedented interest in Black artists, both established and newly recognized. At the same time, there is little context for what is being seen and explored today. "Soul of a Nation" is a superb exhibition, clarifying decades of murky history without sacrificing its complexity.
Conscious of the educational aspect of this exhibition, The Broad hosts a symposium this Saturday, March 23, with the curators and artists, as well as a number of talks and musical events including one organized by Quincy Jones and Terrence Martin on June 1. Advance tickets, will surely be necessary.
A parallel part of this exhibition takes place at Art + Practice in Leimert Park. "Time is Running Out of Time: Experimental Film and Video" from the L.A. Rebellion and Today through Sept. 14. More to come!

Jay Moore: Blessed with an Authentic Experience
By Lyssette Williams
Portraits by Tracy Kujawa
Jay Moore is not the stereotypical hunter-jumper trainer. He didn't grow up with horse training parents, or riding ponies on the show circuit or working his way to a big win in the equitation or junior-jumper finals.
"I don't look like the other hunter-jumper professionals either," Jay laughed. "I'm not tall and thin with abs of steel. I'm a Black man and I have hips!"
What Jay does have in common with other hunter-jumper trainers also drives him to continue pursuing a career in the Deep South: an unwavering love for horses and the sport, an untiring work ethic and a deep devotion to community.
Moxie in Spades
Jay's beginnings were humble. Born in Montgomery, Alabama, he's the oldest of three kids raised by his mother, LaShonda Jones, and his grandmother, Dorothy Bradford. Horses captured Jay's heart the first time he laid eyes on them. "Riding and horses always fascinated me," Jay said. "I looked forward to the Montgomery Thanksgiving Parade every year. The marching band and floats were great, but I was only interested in staying until the very end to see the horses."
The dream to ride first came true briefly at summer camp. Then in the seventh grade, Jay took his first riding lessons with a classmate's mother, Susan Wainwright, who happened to be an avid eventer. Under her instruction, he learned the basics of dressage and jumping. Before starting the eighth grade, life threw Jay's family a curve ball.
"We relocated to Memphis, Tennessee, after my mom received a promotion," Jay said. "It was a great opportunity for my working-class family, though I wouldn't ride again until I was in high school."
While living in Tennessee, Jay was introduced to the world of hunter-jumper horse showing by trainers Victoria Hickerson and Sara Zurenko of Shady Creek Farms. "Victoria and Sara set me on the path to what would become my career," Jay said. "The local circuit had quality shows put on by Oakview Stables and Alderwood Shows."
After attending school in Tennessee for several years, Jay felt Alabama calling him back. In 2007 he packed his bags and returned to Montgomery, moving in with his grandmother. Jay's desire to get back in the saddle hit a fever pitch, so he started the process of researching barns and reaching out to local trainers.
"I ended up taking lessons from Rise Jone-Metcalf at Spring Valley Stables," Jay said. "She gave me a working student position. I would bike to the barn every day after school to clean stalls in exchange for lessons."
Being an A-type overachiever, Jay had a full course load along with extracurricular activities vying for his time and attention. "I was on the school's co-ed cheerleading team and in every club imaginable,"
he said. "I still found time to commit to furthering my equestrian education — I probably didn't sleep much!"
Jay's incredible commitment and work ethic was encouraged and supported by his family. "My mother and stepfather did everything they could to support my dream even though finances were tight," he said.
"My grandmother and I are best friends — she's my biggest cheerleader and supporter. When I first moved in with her and told her about my dream to make it in the horse industry, she said, 'Now Jay, you must take this very seriously, no goofing around and no partying!' I'm a lot like my grandmother, so I followed through on her rules. Some weekends I'd have a mountain of homework and barn chores to get through, so my grandmother would come help me clean stalls so I could wrap everything up at a reasonable time."
Progress is Never Linear
At the end of his junior year of high school, Jay joined the Montgomery chapter of 4-H when his trainer incorporated the 4-H horse curriculum into her program. Jay focused solely on showing in the hunters, and his hard work and attention to detail paid off when he won the working hunter championship at the Alabama 4-H Championships in 2009. Hungry to get further in his riding, Jay applied to the equestrian studies and equestrian training program at Findlay University in Ohio.
"I had deferred my enrollment until spring semester," Jay said. "Not many in my family have attended college, so we missed a couple of deadlines. We also weren't sure how to pay for college, so I worked two jobs to save money — riding horses for Melanie Rish at His Place Horse Farms and working a retail job at Hollister clothing."
The road to attending Findlay was proving to be bumpy — and getting Jay physically to the Ohio campus would also be an adventure.
"My mom, Grandma and I made the journey together," Jay said. "What started out as a beautiful southern winter day with clear skies quickly turned into a blizzard after crossing state lines. My mother has only driven in the snow a handful of times, so it was a nerve-wracking experience. Thankfully, we arrived safely."
While Jay loved his classes, peers and riding on the IHSA team at Findlay, his collegiate experience would be short lived.
"I only spent a semester and a half there," Jay said "I worked hard, and the program director, Sandra 'Sam' McCarthy, noticed. She pulled me aside and told me I needed to go somewhere that would tap into my full potential. In the summer of 2010, I left Findlay to work for David Q. Wright in Nashville."
Under David's tutelage, Jay would gain the expertise needed to manage a top-level show barn and team while working at Hunters Court in Murfreesboro, Tennessee.
"David was an amazing horseman and one of my biggest influences in the industry," Jay reminisced. "Through him I met other great contacts like Matt Piccolo of Arrow Hill Farm."
Another very influential trainer who took Jay under her wing was Ashley Morrison of Westminster Farm in Northport, Alabama. "She played an integral part at the beginning stages of my professional career," Jay said. "I owe her so much."
The winding path to becoming a professional hunter-jumper trainer, pouring his heart and soul into the work daily, burning the candle at both ends for the better part of a decade, took its toll on Jay. He was burned out and needed a break from the industry. For two years, he worked a corporate sales and marketing job with AT&T. This hiatus ended up being exactly what Jay needed to reignite his passion, while also teaching him valuable business skills for his next professional endeavor.
Underdog Rising
In September 2019, Jay officially launched his training business, The Authentic LLC, with the help of business partner Kevin Richardson.
"Inspiration for the name came from my personal motto of always staying true to who I am," Jay said. "Being Black, from a working-class upbringing, and gay has been an uphill battle. Not everyone I've met has known how to love and accept me for who I am."
While combating implicit bias and stereotypes within the industry is daunting, the adversity doesn't scare Jay. Instead it inspires him to work harder, to be outgoing and forgiving. And in return, the equestrian community has taken notice.
"Jay has one of the best attitudes and outlooks I've seen at the horse shows," said Michelle Anderton, director of marketing and public relations for the Brownland Farms horse shows. "He's worked very hard to secure a well-respected position in our community."
Jay could have based The Authentic LLC anywhere in the United States, but he remains emotionally tethered to his roots in Alabama.
"Our home base is at Sunshine Oaks Sport Horses in Madison, Alabama," Jay said. "Madison is just outside of Huntsville, which is projected to be the biggest city in Alabama by 2022. The city is a bit like Seattle-meets-Nashville — with lots of hiking, biking and other outdoorsy activities. Industry here is booming, there is a Facebook data center and a Toyota plant and the largest employer is NASA, bringing people from all over. Some of my clients have moved here from as far away as San Diego, California."
Four to five days a week, Jay can be found teaching at his home barn, but he also spends a lot of time on the road as a traveling trainer. "I teach three times a week in Birmingham, every other week in Nashville and Brownsboro. I'll start teaching two to three times a week in Florence, Alabama, soon," Jay said. "I'm fueled by coffee, people, horses and motivation — though the horses fuel me the most!"
Always planning, dreaming and looking ahead, Jay envisions growing The Authentic LLC with additional show clients, developing top-class sale horses and hiring an assistant trainer. "People with multiple businesses inspire me, like Emil Spadone," Jay said. "I've started an IEA team and hope to coach IHSA soon. I'd also like to become a licensed judge with USEF — we need more Black judges."
Jay reflects fondly on all the people in his life who helped get him to where he is today and lives by the motto of paying their kindness forward. "It really takes a village and I've known the love and support from so many people outside of my family," Jay said. "Sarah Zurenko and Linda Rice both used to give me rides from school to the barn. Chelise Storace provided me with riding opportunities in New England and Ocala. A lot of riders don't get these opportunities; I feel blessed."
Jay's journey meandered from his first riding lessons to declaring as a professional, but each detour leads him back to what he loves with even more conviction and clearer purpose than before. He knows whatever obstacles come his way in the future, he'll make it through.
"To all the underdogs out there, regardless of your race, if you don't think you have the finances to succeed — keep trying," Jay said. "Asking for help is not a weakness; it may provide you with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Work hard, stay true to yourself and be so grateful it takes your breath away."

High salt intake is dangerous as it aids the progress of existing kidney diseases.
This assertion was made Dr Bola Idowu of University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital (UITH) in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).
Salt intake is necessary but it has to be controlled. Adults require just a gramme per day and children require less than one gramme per day.
There has been a disregard for the quantity of salt consumed and this is dangerous behaviour. The medical expert said high salt intake is an exacerbating agent for people who are prone to or already have diabetes, and high blood pressure which may lead to heart failure, and cardiac arrests.
The doctor called on parents to control the salt intake of their children as "it is dangerous for both adult and children''.
"Diabetes and Asthmatic patients, as well as people battling with unstable blood pressure, should learn to consume less salt in order not to aggravate any disease," he said.

Roscosmos is mired in criminality
22 criminal cases were initiated based on the materials of internal audits at Roscosmos. We are talking about theft, abuse and abuse of office at the enterprises of the state corporation.
In 2019-2020, the investigating authorities opened 22 criminal cases based on the materials of the Roscosmos internal audit service, the head of the service Artem Melnikov told RBC. This, as he clarified, is about embezzlement of budgetary funds, abuse and abuse of authority at the enterprises of Roscosmos.
In 2019, at the initiative of the head of Roscosmos Dmitry Rogozin, who headed the state corporation a year earlier, the internal audit department, which previously dealt only with accounting problems, was reorganized into an internal audit service. The functions of this structure were expanded, in addition, it began to interact with the Prosecutor General's Office, the FSB and other law enforcement agencies. The head of the service is Artyom Melnikov, who worked in the prosecutor's office before joining Roscosmos. Before joining the corporation, he headed the Department of the Prosecutor General's Office in the North Caucasus Federal District
Theft in the "Strategic Command Posts"
In particular, an investigation is underway against the former head of the Strategic Control Points corporation Vladimir Polyansky, Melnikov said. This structure of "Roskosmos" carries out research, development and technological development to create ground equipment for prelaunch preparation of missiles at launch sites. "The case was initiated on the fact of embezzlement of budgetary funds through the preparation of fictitious acts on the acceptance of work performed within the framework of the state defense order in the amount of more than 2 billion rubles. As a result, Polyansky added and paid himself a bonus of about 20 million rubles, "Melnikov said.
In 2019, a criminal case was already opened against Polyansky on the fact of abuse of power. The top manager who headed the corporation until 2019 was accused of illegally paying himself a "golden parachute" in the amount of 4.8 million rubles. Polyansky admitted his guilt and compensated for the damage. The Zamoskvoretsky District Court of Moscow terminated the criminal case and imposed a court fine of 100 thousand rubles.
Nepotism in Geophysics
Another violation was noticed by the audit service at the Krasnoyarsk enterprise Central Design Bureau Geofizika, Melnikov told RBK. The enterprise is a subsidiary of Roscosmos and manufactures radio and television transmitting equipment.
"At Geofizika, all significant posts were held by members of one family. The general director is the father, the deputy general is the son, the head of the archive is the daughter, the head of the planning department is the daughter-in-law, the chief engineer is the son-in-law. Accordingly, they did not receive their salaries like all employees, "Melnikov said. He refused to give the names of the ex-employees, adding only that they all left the enterprise "of their own free will."
Since July 2019, Andrey Krylyvets has been the general director of Geofizika Central Design Bureau, as indicated on the Roscosmos website. Previously, he headed the military representative office No. 2649 of the Ministry of Defense. The former head of the enterprise, according to information posted on the website of the Union of Mechanical Engineers of Russia, was Alexander Degterev. A few months before the arrival of Krylyvets, Degterev asked to be relieved of his post in connection with his retirement. A year earlier, the mayor of Krasnoyarsk congratulated him on being awarded the title of Honorary Citizen of the city and being appointed chairman of the Krasnoyarsk branch of the Union of Mechanical Engineers.
At the same time Denis Aleksandrovich Degterev was the deputy general director of the Geofizika Central Design Bureau for economic issues. Now Igor Manko is the Deputy General Director of Geofizika Central Design Bureau for Economics and Finance.
Abuses on Vympel
In addition, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is conducting a pre-investigation check on the fact of abuses by the management of the Moscow machine-building plant "Vympel" during the implementation of an investment project for the technical re-equipment of the enterprise in the amount of 290 million rubles, Melnikov said. This enterprise specializes in the production of equipment for launching and technical complexes of missiles and fulfilled orders for the programs ISS, Sea Launch, Mir, Briz-M, Rokot and others.
The enterprise is controlled by the Moscow Institute of Heat Engineering Corporation (MIT), which is a 100% subsidiary of Roskosmos. MIT, in turn, is the developer of the Topol-M intercontinental missiles and the Bulava strategic sea-based missile system.
RBC sent a request to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Claims against RCS contractors and revision of the
During the joint inspection of Rocket Space Systems (RKS) conducted by Roscosmos and the Prosecutor General's Office, violations were found in the implementation of two investment projects, Melnikov said. "In relation to the contractors - Lan Technology and Ekros-Engineering - the Main Investigation Department of the IC has initiated criminal cases on the fact of large-scale fraud. According to the investigation, their actions caused damage to the RCS in the amount of RUB 302.3 million, "said the head of the Roscosmos internal audit service.
RBC sent inquiries to Lan Technology and Ekros-Engineering.
RKS is engaged in the development of devices for space systems and communication complexes, navigation, telemetry, control and remote sensing of the Earth.
A separate topic is the expenditure of funds during the construction of the Vostochny cosmodrome, Melnikov noted. "To strengthen control over cash flows, by the decision of the general director of the state corporation under the leadership of our service, a permanent control and audit group was created," he said. Melnikov added that Roskosmos is constantly exchanging information with the Office of the Prosecutor General's Office in the Far Eastern Federal District, as well as with the Prosecutor's Office of the Amur Region and the Vostochny Cosmodrome. "In recent years, only tough large-scale inspections have managed to achieve a cardinal change in the situation in the industry," summed up the head of the Roscosmos internal audit service.
Who built the Eastern
In 2011, the technical and preliminary design of the new Russian cosmodrome began, and the work supervisors were appointed. The construction of the launch complex of the cosmodrome began in 2012. The completion date was repeatedly postponed, and due to violations at the facility, more than a hundred criminal cases were initiated. The general contractor for the construction was the Federal Agency for Special Construction (Spetsstroy), subordinate to the Ministry of Defense. In December 2016, Spetsstroy was abolished by presidential decree.
The contract with the general contractor for the construction works was terminated in early 2017. In the same year, Roscosmos instructed its subordinate FSUE TsENKI to complete the construction of the first stage of the cosmodrome.
In October 2018, Roscosmos signed a RUB 39 billion contract. with PSO "Kazan" for the construction of the second stage of Vostochny. This company was the contractor for the construction of facilities for the 2018 FIFA World Cup. Kommersant asserted that Kazan as a general contractor was lobbied by the President of Tatarstan Rustam Minnikhanov, who "is very sensitive to the capacity utilization of the largest republican construction company".
