The most coveted prize among professional poker players now belongs to Freddy Deeb.
Click here to read Aaron Todd's report from the scene.
Known for his bright red shirts and his high-stakes cash game play, Deeb outlasted arguably the toughest field in poker early Friday morning to win the $50,000 H.O.R.S.E. tournament (Event #39).
Deeb earned $ 2,276,832 million and his second WSOP gold bracelet with the victory. But more important to the long-time pro was the prestige attached to the title.
"When I won my first bracelet, I was mostly a cash game player so it didn't really matter that much to me," Deeb said. "But this one – it means everything to me. They are the toughest players in the world. It has the highest buy-in. Except for the $10,000 buy-in (main event), this is the bracelet that means the most of any of them."
Deeb, who born in Lebanon, had to flee his homeland during the 1970's when civil war was ravaging the country. Unable to secure a work permit, Deeb entered a casino to make his millions and never looked back. He has been living the American dream for more than 30-years, earning a living with his gambling prowess.
"When I sit down to play, I do not ask anyone -- what is the game," Deeb said when asked about the mix of poker games in H.O.R.S.E. "I just play whatever the game is dealt….You see what level they are at, and you go a level higher. That's how you win."
Saifuddin Ahmad quietly won his first gold bracelet last night while the rest of the poker world was paying attention to the H.O.R.S.E. World Championship. Ahmad outlasted 462 opponents to win $217,329 in the $2,000 No Limit Hold'em event.
Ahmad, a 59-year old businessman originally from Bangladesh, first came the United States more than 40 years ago in search of education and opportunity. He earned a Masters Degree in Chemical Engineering from Cal-Tech before entering the business world. He now owns several Tony Roma restaurants in the Los Angeles area.
This is Ahmad's third time playing WSOP, but his first time cashing.
Marcel Luske brings his $3.2 million career earnings and a boatload of fans to WSOP final table felt tonight in search of his first gold bracelet. This is the fourth cash in the 2007 WSOP for the popular Dutchman.
Stuart Paterson will play at his first WSOP final table alongside Luske. Paterson, known as "The Donator" in the online world, started his career playing high-stakes poker online against Full Tilt professionals and soon found himself a member of the team after making a 2006 World Poker Tour Final table.
John Juanda cashed for the fifth time in this Series, but finished one spot from the final table in this event.
The 2007 WSOP had seen little of Jamie Gold this year.
But that changed Thursday when Gold held the tournament chip lead for a time in pro-laden $5,000 six-handed No Limit Hold'em Event #45.
Gold cooled off, eventually falling to the middle pack. But he's cashed for the first time since winning the 2006 Main Event and is still alive in 33rd place.
Dutch Boyd is leading this event with Phil Hellmuth breathing down his neck. Hellmuth is in fifth place, cashing for the fifth time this year (61st all-time). He will be the player to watch as he continues to hunt down bracelet No. 12.
Men "The Master" Nguyen also cashed in this event. It's the 56th in-the-money finish of his WSOP career.
Other notables still in contention are: Erik Friberg, Ram Vaswani, Roland de Wolfe, Allen Cunningham, Tony G., and Tony Hachem (Joe Hachem's brother).

How Brands Define Engagement
August 29, 2012 by Giselle Abramovich
"What is the strategy behind this campaign?" we often ask brand managers we interview for stories. "The strategy is to engage consumers," is the all-too-common response. But what exactly does that mean? Digiday reached out to agency and brand execs, asking them for their definition of engagement.
Linda Boff, global executive director of digital, advertising and design, GE
In the social context at GE, engagement is the discovery and exchange of shared values and interests.
Scott Gulbransen, director of social business strategy, H&R Block
It depends. Even on Facebook, the answer depends. And I am not saying that as a cop out. When you take a serious look at KPIs for what we do in those channels, we are thinking about people reacting or conversing. But then there are other things, like, are we reducing costs in customer support? People get caught up in ROI, but they don't realize they can cut costs, and that's just as important. So I am going to say that engagement and ROI depend on the particular program. For our marketing campaigns, engagement may mean likes, or shares or comments. But then for our educational series, views may be the engagement. The metrics continue to solidify over time, and there is no one answer to all programs.
Jay Henderson, director of strategy, IBM
I think of engagement as representing two-way communication between a brand and consumers. In the past, companies treated customers as passive recipients of their marketing messages. First, the digital revolution and, now, the social revolution have created the opportunity for customers to be more actively involved in marketing campaigns. This is moving brands away from "bullhorn" marketing tactics to creating two-way dialogues. Today, brands can listen more effectively to customers and, as a result, deliver a more informed and tailored marketing message. Moreover, there is huge opportunity for marketers to extend the reach of their marketing campaigns by encouraging customers to share their purchases, their experiences, and their likes — making a good customer not just those who transact, but also those who share. Marketers' goals haven't changed — they still need to drive awareness, create brand preference and, ultimately, drive transactions. Measuring these outcomes in the context of customer engagement can also be a great leading indicator for customers.
Matt Rednor, vp of global strategy and analytics, MRY
Engagement is any action a consumer takes with your content. It's a like, view, comment or share. Social success should be based on the most valuable engagement, sharing and the earned reach that it generates around a key message.
Pat Stern, chief creative officer, iCrossing
Engagement is all about connectedness, or creating a closer relationship with your audience. Brands can be engaging by creating compelling ideas and useful content that people want to share. Many brands measure engagement by using metrics such as page views and dwell time. But we think the true sign of engagement is if the audience is sharing and discussing your content across the online and offline worlds, whether via Facebook posts, Twitter or at a cocktail party, for that matter. Content doesn't need to be high-concept to be engaging; useful content can as engaging as pithy slogans or entertaining videos.

The Northern Lights Galaxy Globe is made with green, aqua, purple and gold glass color and the ashes of your loved one, and has a coated exterior of blue metallic fume. It features a celestial swirl of ash and color inside a solid glass piece with a hand-ground viewing window to look in at the beautiful galaxy your loved one has become.
After hours of searching and comparing globes I finally decided on the galaxy series and the Northern Lights globe. Words and pictures cannot describe how beautiful it is. I selected the white base and it just highlights the gorgeous details. Celebration Ashes was amazing with their customer service and I'd order from them again.
Love it. The multicolored lighted base makes it even prettier! I'd recommend this for anyone or even a pet.
This is a beautiful piece. I'm so thankful I ordered this. What a beautiful reminder of someone you have loved and lost. They kept me informed of the processing of this product the whole time. I can definitely recommend this company.
The Galaxy Globe, by itself, is stunning. The colors and swirls are delicate, yet bold. The multi-colored LED light base throws the colors onto the walls and ceiling in soft tones that are very comforting. Thank you for creating such a beautiful memorial of my father-in-law.
This orb is the most stunning thing I have ever seen. The colored light box underneath it just sends it over the top in spectacular style. This was not what I thought I wanted, but when I got to the studio and saw this I quickly changed my mind and I am sooo glad I did. I am very happy with my decision to change to this.


SAN JUAN, P.R.—Who doesn't like a Cuba Libre?
If you are not familiar with the tropical drink, it is an icy cocktail with sugar cane flavored rum mixed with a classic soft drink, Coca Cola. Sipped around the world at nightclubs and bars, the cocktail is part of a rich history based in a tropical oasis called Puerto Rico.
The famous Bacardi Rum Co., was first established by its founder, Don Facundo Bacardi Masso in Santiago de Cuba, Cuba. Bacardi rum won its reputation in Cuba and soon became the preferred rum to drink of kings and queens throughout Europe.
The Spanish colonial style of the visitor center at Bacardi reflects the company's roots (Photos by Alcione Gonzalez).
Despite being established in Cuba, the company later moved to Puerto Rico after Castro's dictatorship rose to power in 1958.
With the move to a new country, the Bacardi Rum Distillery was built in Catano, Puerto Rico. From the heart of tourism in Puerto Rico, Catano is a 20-minute taxi ride from Old San Juan.
We decided to visit Casa Bacardi because it was a fun activity that could be completed on a lazy afternoon.
The Bacardi factory, which receives up to 250,000 visitors a year, was a fun and entertaining departure from typical Old San Juan, where classic architecture, and fort history of San Cristobal and El Morro are the main attractions.
Our trip to the Bacardi Distillery and Museum started by hopping on an Aqua Express bus that can be found at the Catano Ferry dock. The purchase price for the fare was an exceptionally cheap and affordable .50 cents per person.
After a 15-minute bus ride, comprised of mostly tourists, we were dropped off in a residential quiet section of the city of Catano. There we were directed by friendly, and slightly aggressive taxi drivers who lead tourists to a row of vans eager to be filled. All vans were bound to the Bacardi distillery.
Later, we were told that a local bus route could also take us to the distillery.
Advice given by locals and hotel staff emphasized that the average taxi fare per person to the Bacardi distillery would be no more than $3 per person and to stand our ground if anyone tried to ask for more.
Upon arrival to the Bacardi Distillery, the Bacardi logo, a fruit bat, was seen almost at every corner. The fruit bat symbolizes good health, fortune and family unity for the Bacardi brand.
At the entrance, a large cream white Spanish-style building with the "Casa Bacardi" (Bacardi House) sign and two bulls at the entrance were the first structures seen, and towards the left of the building was a large canopy with a long expansive bar under adorned with Bacardi cocktails through out it's various shelves.
A friendly bartender with a guayabera (a classic Cuban button-down shirt) exuded a pleasant air and welcomed visitors with a bright smile.
Entrance to the Bacardi Distillery and Museum was free and so were the complimentary cocktails. Each visitor at least 18 years old was given two complimentary Bacardi cocktails tickets that could later be redeemed at the bar.
Tours were offered in English and Spanish, and began every 15 minutes through out the day.
We chose the English-language tour and were given pink tickets stubs to redeem for our drinks.
Jumping on a tram for a 30-second ride, we were then dropped off at the entrance of the Bacardi museum with our tour guide, Juancho, leading the way.
Juancho gave a humorous and light explanation of the historical foundation for the Bacardi brand.
At right, a Bacardi bartender offers a cool sample to visitors. Below, a colorful entrance way in the visitor center and one of the Bacardi buildings in the factory campus.
The entrance to the museum was a recreated Spanish courtyard.
The history of the Bacardi brand is associated with three themes of the Caribbean: Christopher Columbus, sugar cane cultivation and piracy.
The themes are illustrated with tile portraits on three of the walls in the Spanish courtyard.
We were later ushered into a movie theater, and shown a 15-minute video of the Bacardi's history, where it pretty much was a commercial for the Bacardi rum brand.
The video was definitely the low point of the tour. But visitors can take advantage that you can sit down and relax while watching the video.
After cooling down in air-conditioning for 15 minutes, we were taken into an interactive area that had a recreation of a Bacardi rum distillery.
Photography was not allowed and we were quickly scolded as we eagerly tried to capture the authentic looking barrels and distillery machines.
We were later ushered into a movie theatre, and shown a 15-minute video of the Bacardi's history, where it pretty much was a commercial for the Bacardi rum brand.
The interactive area explained the process for creating and aging the rum. Visitors could listen to the history by standing inside a glass booth where speakers narrated details of the history of Bacardi. Smelling booths were also divided into light-bodied rums, premium aged rums, and flavored rums.
Visitors were given the opportunity to differentiate the difference in smell for each blend of rum.
The most exciting part of the tour was the bar instructional section.We were greeted by our bartender for the session, Juan Cartajena, who proclaimed that we would learn how to make delectable Bacardi cocktail in four minutes.
Even though the bartending instructional was a blatant advertising plug for Bacardi, he insisted that if you are going to drink rum, drink Bacardi, emphasizing that it is, in his opinion, of course, the best rum in the world.
We ended our tour at the bar where we tried the famous Mojito and Cuba Libre cocktails.
Despite the tour being all things Bacardi and a shameless plug for the brand, the tour is a fun, laid-back experience, and takes no longer than a quick afternoon visit.
Visiting the Bacardi Distillery and Museum is a fun alternative to the more traditional fun of Old San Juan.
Besides, after all that fort sight-seeing, you'll definitely be thirsty for an authentic Bacardi Cuba Libre.
Driving? From San Juan take Highway 22 west to the Cantaño exit, Road 165. The plant is visible on the right about a mile from the exit on Road 165, km 2.6, Int. 888, at the Bay View Industrial Park in Cantaño.
Art is on display for guests to enjoy in the visitor center.

HuffPost just broke the news that Colorado officials have taken substantial action against the multimillion-dollar nonprofit National Mill Dog Rescue, a couple of months after my lengthy investigative article ran with details about the organization's business practices.
As with the first story, this new one is about more than National Mill Dog Rescue. It's also about the increasingly popular business models now being called forms of rescue in the United States.
From the new story's opening paragraph: "The Colorado agency that regulates shelters, breeders and other dog-dealing entities has hit the multimillion-dollar nonprofit National Mill Dog Rescue with the biggest fine the agency's manager can recall. It comes with a larger goal, he said: 'to highlight the fact that rescue is a problem' and warn other nonprofit shelters and rescuers who do business in similar ways that they could be next."
I believe there will be more news in the future about this case. As today's story states, the founder and executive director of National Mill is due in court Sept. 30 on a cease-and-desist order that Colorado officials issued regarding the practice of veterinary medicine without a license.
U.S. Government Reinstates Database of Kennel Inspection Reports
Recommended Reading/Viewing	 August 18, 2017
The U.S. Department of Agriculture issued a press release this afternoon announcing the reinstatement of its searchable online database that includes inspection reports for commercial dog-breeding kennels.
Reinstatement of the database follows months' worth of public outcry. A diverse spread of individuals ranging from animal-welfare advocates to pet-store executives have said the previously available database should be returned to the internet. Some filed lawsuits.
The inspection reports for commercial kennels registered with the USDA used to be freely searchable, allowing anyone to comb through the records of those breeders to see whether they're in compliance with the Animal Welfare Act. The records were used for many purposes, including letting pet-store owners verify kennel conditions and helping nonprofits like the Humane Society of the United States compile things like its "Horrible Hundred Puppy Mills" document.
Commercial-scale dog breeders had long argued that, because their kennels are typically located on the same property as their private homes, the inspection reports contained personal information that was being unfairly revealed to the general public, including to some activists who trespassed onto their property to take photographs, harass them and bother their dogs. Breeders also didn't like the fact that warning letters were being published without giving them time to correct the problems that inspectors documented.
Today's announcement from the USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, or APHIS, directs users to this chart explaining how the kennel inspection reports are now being adjusted as the database returns to the internet. Kennels that are not "residential" will now be published "with appropriate redactions to protect privacy interests of individuals," such as signatures. For kennels located on residential property, "identifying information" will be redacted "to protect privacy interests."
In addition, documents such as warning letters, which used to be published in full, will now become part of quarterly "statistical summaries," with the details of such letters remaining offline.
John Goodwin, head of the HSUS National Puppy Mills Campaign, told me via email: "At first blush, it doesn't look like much is back up. Also, key information is still redacted. I can see redacting a home address, but they also redacted the names and license numbers of facilities who were cited. Without being able to identify who did what, no one will know which breeders had clean records and which had dirty records."
Mike Bober, president of the Pet Industry Joint Advisory Council, issued this statement: "PIJAC is pleased that the U.S. Department of Agriculture continues to take steps to balance public transparency and private safety with the release of their new compliance database and search tool. We in the pet care community look forward to working with the USDA and everyone who cares deeply about animal welfare to ensure that healthy, ethically raised pets find loving homes."

New Study Likely to Affect Debate about Shelters and Breeders
Recommended Reading/Viewing	 February 8, 2017
[fusion_text]This morning, The Washington Post published my article about a new study from Mississippi State University showing that shelter euthanasia rates for dogs have dipped to the lowest level in modern history, with fewer than 780,000 dogs per year now dying in U.S. shelters.
Researchers and scientists from groups including the ASPCA, No Kill Advocacy Center and Maddie's Fund are still breaking down the study's results and looking into its methodology, but those I spoke with late into the evening yesterday were of the same mind-set that I am: Let's hope the science is solid, because it would be great news for the dogs, a sea change from the past few decades when dogs were estimated to be dying in our shelters by the millions.
Interpreting the study's results beyond the science, however, is a political exercise that I suspect will continue for a long time to come.
Rescue advocates seem poised to argue that once America's shelters are saving all the healthy, adoptable dogs in our own nation, we should next turn our attention to saving homeless dogs from outside our borders, by importing dogs in need from U.S. territories and other countries.
Breeding advocates, on the other hand, say that once America's shelter dogs are all in homes, the need for responsible breeding will remain clearer than ever, to ensure that everyone who wants a pet dog in America can have one.
For today, though, I hope this study's results are simply a reason to cheer. Many fewer dogs dying in our shelters would be a great thing. I'm going to hope that the science stands up, and give my two shelter mutts a big hug to celebrate.[/fusion_text]
Petland and HSUS Act to Reverse USDA Database Decision
When the pet-store chain Petland and the Humane Society of the United States—frequent opponents on legislative actions—are both on the same page and crying foul, you know we have entered new territory concerning the welfare of dogs.
Both Petland and HSUS today stated that they are calling upon the U.S. Department of Agriculture to amend or reverse the move it made Friday, deleting a long-public database of government reports that revealed what taxpayer-funded inspectors find everywhere from commercial-scale breeding kennels to animal-research facilities.
HSUS has initiated legal action "to challenge this outrageous action that undermines longstanding consensus about public access to information concerning these laws, and frustrates state, local, and industry efforts to help enforce them."
Petland has scheduled an in-person meeting with USDA officials in Washington and plans to issue a press release this afternoon "calling upon the USDA to find a balance between privacy and transparency," according to company CEO Joe Watson.
HSUS is challenging the takedown of the USDA database by claiming that the removal violates the terms of a previously settled case.
As the HSUS notice today states: "The HSUS sued the USDA in 2005 over public access to AWA reports concerning animal use in university and other laboratories. That case was settled in 2009 in exchange for the USDA's agreement to post certain data on its website concerning research on animals. The agency's precipitous decision to purge virtually all AWA and HPA enforcement documentation—just two weeks after President Trump assumed office—violates the plain terms of the settlement and a federal court order. It also runs contrary to congressional provisions in 1996 and 2016 designed to increase transparency and electronic access to information."
Petland is challenging the takedown by asking the USDA to meet the burden of protecting privacy in a way that still makes the bulk of the reports open to public access.
In an email to Petland staff today, Watson wrote: "The USDA deserves credit for making an effort to protect the privacy of their licensees. We are all too familiar with how the activists misuse this data to attack breeders and pet stores. We have also heard of inspection reports being photoshopped by activists and used against us. We applaud the USDA's efforts to address this abuse of information. At the same time, this decision creates an added burden on responsible pet stores, such as Petland. We must now obtain the inspection reports directly from the breeders and brokers. While this is not impossible, it does create a new set of challenges for our business. Also, the total denial of any public access creates a veil of secrecy that can be used against the pet industry. We need more responsible transparency, not less."
This is the first time in recent memory, if ever, that HSUS and Petland have come out simultaneously, publicly and forcefully on the same side of a major national issue concerning animal welfare.
Federal Agency Removes Key Consumer Tool for Evaluating Dog Breeders
At 1 p.m. today, the U.S. Department of Agriculture posted this notice on the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) section of its website. The notice explains that from now on, it will be much harder for consumers and others to review government inspection reports about dog breeders that previously had been available online in a simple search.
Until today, documents including inspection reports of commercial-scale dog breeding kennels have been uploaded into a searchable database that anyone could access at any time through a link on the APHIS landing page. Several years' worth of these inspection reports, which are generated by the taxpayer-funded agency, have been available for a free, easy search. That search function is now gone, replaced by today's announcement on a static web page.
The inspection reports that used to be searchable have long been used for many purposes. For instance, they allowed consumers to check whether a commercial-scale dog breeder was complying with the federal Animal Welfare Act before purchasing a puppy from that breeder; they allowed pet-store owners to do the same (in some states, pet stores are required by law to check the reports of any commercial-scale breeders who sell them puppies); and they were used by welfare advocates and activists to produce pamphlets such as the Humane Society of the United States "Horrible Hundred Puppy Mills" list each year.
Commercial-scale dog breeders have long argued that, because their kennels are typically located on the same property as their private homes, the inspection reports contain personal information that is being unfairly revealed to the general public, including to some activists who trespass onto their property to take photographs, harass them and bother their dogs. The breeders have said that having their names, addresses, contact details and other information placed online or made available to the public is a violation of their personal privacy.
Today, the federal government appears to have sided with those breeders.
From now on, according to today's notice, the inspection reports will be removed from the searchable database. The move comes, according to the agency, following a yearlong review that included ensuring compliance with the Privacy Act.
"Going forward, APHIS will remove from its website inspection reports, regulatory correspondence, research facility annual reports, and enforcement records that have not received final adjudication," the notice states.
The notice adds that anyone seeking access to such information in the future, instead of being able to simply look it up online, must now submit a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the federal government.
In those cases, the notice states, "Records will be released when authorized and in a manner consistent with the FOIA and Privacy Act. If the same records are frequently requested via the FOIA process, in most instances APHIS may post the appropriately redacted versions to its website."
The FOIA process can be a long one, sometimes taking months to yield a response. This delay may now make it impossible for consumers, pet-store owners and others to assess a dog breeder's record in real time, when the purchase of a puppy is pending—unless the breeder himself chooses to share his own government-issued inspection report, especially when it contains citations for violating the Animal Welfare Act.

Extended Interview with Forrest Lucas about 'The Dog Lover' Film
Recommended Reading/Viewing	 July 15, 2016
https://youtu.be/zwNtpzex0eY
This morning, Dogster published my review of "The Dog Lover," a new film based on the true story of a hunting-dog breeder in South Dakota whose dogs were seized in a puppy mill raid aided by the Humane Society of the United States. The film has received mixed reviews, including from The Hollywood Reporter ("this propaganda piece seems bound to infuriate the very animal lovers to which it's attempting to appeal") and RogerEbert.com ("shamelessly manipulative on several levels").
Everything those reviewers wrote is true—this movie is a one-sided take on an issue that is bound to infuriate many dog lovers—but the reviewers don't understand the context in which this film was made, or its deep importance to anyone trying to understand both sides of the "puppy mill" issue that is raging all across America today.
As I wrote in my Dogster review of the film, I believe everyone who cares about dogs needs to watch it: "The breeders need to see that their voice is being amplified within the current media climate, while the rescuers need to see how they often come across to those they believe should change their ways."
I also believe anyone who can't understand why the film exists needs to read the following Q&A with its executive producer, Forrest Lucas. He spoke with me for more than an hour before I wrote my review.
Here are some excerpts from our conversation—which, fair warning to you, contains movie spoilers. While I do not agree with everything Lucas says, I agree completely with his underlying notion that only one side of the debate usually gets fair media coverage. That's why I'm publishing this Q&A as a companion piece to my review of "The Dog Lover" movie on Dogster, which I also hope you'll read.
You also may want to visit the official website of "The Dog Lover" film.
Q: Was the original name of the movie changed?
A: When we were making it, we called it "The Wrong Side of Right," but it didn't tell anything about the story, so they came up with a list of names about dogs.
Q: How did "The Dog Lover" come to be?
A: This started in 2000, when the HSUS came to the state of Missouri. They came in with this term "puppy mill," which meant "the bad guys." I have a 16,000-acre cattle ranch here in Missouri. I found out about it only a few days ahead of time, because one of my cowboys called. He saw a sign on a highway.
What the voters saw on the ballot wasn't the same as the actual law. They used the word "pet," way down deep, and in Missouri, legally, a pet is anything that can live within 15 feet of your house. When we opened this thing up and started looking at it, it would have taken over all animals.
They had spent around $7 million, and they had 67 percent approval at the time. It was high because nobody was fighting against them. All the small agriculture groups in the state, the one big guy came along and told them don't fight because you can't beat 'em. All you'll do is make 'em mad. That's how they fight. They're terrorists.
I got involved six days before the vote. We took them down to 51 percent. If we'd had one more day, we would've won. We just told people who they really were and what they were going to do: "These are terrorists and they're lying to you."
What happened is, since it was a proposition, the House and Senate could take it apart and fix it. HSUS spent a lot of time down there spending on these politicians. HSUS was giving them money to vote their way, and telling them that if they didn't vote their way, they'd use the money against them.
Q: So your opposition to Proposition B had nothing to do with dogs, even though it was called the "Puppy Mill Cruelty Prevention Act" on the Missouri ballot?
A: This was going to take in everything, not just dogs. They weren't just after the big dog breeders. They were after all the dog breeders. They had rules in there that nobody could live by. Your house wouldn't probably be big enough for one animal.
I was living in California when they destroyed—and they still brag about it today—this big slaughterhouse. They had a mole in there for months and months. This old cow got down, and that happens, and they couldn't move her, so they took a forklift and picked her up. They ran that video, and it destroyed that organization. They had to bring back millions of pounds of beef. Every school in the country was getting hamburger from them. The video was totally out of context, and it made this horrible, horrible story, oh these poor animals, and all the crazy people in the news went off on it, and it was the biggest thing ever.
Q: So that's why in "The Dog Lover" film, the false accusations against the breeder involve a doctored video that the rescuers give to the media. That video leads to a raid of the kennel, and to a big campaign ad asking for dog lovers to send donations.
A: Co-rrect.
Q: It all goes back to what you thought was an unfair campaign against a slaughterhouse, because you're a cattle rancher.
A: I saw that happen with that video, and then they turned around and ran Proposition 2 right behind it. That was in California, and it said all the chickens would have to be taken from these real tight cages where they're so unhappy, these poor chickens, and go into bigger cages. Well, the poultry industry just started falling apart.
Q: So you made "The Dog Lover" film in part because you're also upset about the cage-free egg movement?
It's crazy to us who know better, but to them, it's a way of stopping egg production. Now they want cage-free, and that's even worse. The chickens could be inside or outside, but they have to run them to get them outside. The chickens do not want to go outside. And once they get out there, you can't run the belts underneath them to haul away the manure. They are standing in the manure, and every once in a while a girl's going to lay an egg, and 20 percent of those eggs get laid outside. You have to go out there and pick up those eggs out of the poop.
Q: That sounds gross.
A: It is gross, but that's what's happening with these nuts trying to get laws passed to deny eggs to people who want them.
Q: So all of this was in your mind when the "Puppy Mill" Proposition B got on the ballot in Missouri, where you have your cattle ranch.
A: Right. HSUS and all the other groups have been lying without people trying to get them, and it's had a horrible effect on this country. The three months I spent out there fighting Prop B, that's where I really learned that nobody else is fighting. A lot of people wanted to do something, but they couldn't. HSUS is too big and powerful, and they have so many people terrorized.
By the time I got done fighting that, we decided, we're going to go on the offense. We created Protect the Harvest. Then we started actually working with politicians.
Q: HSUS alone took in nearly $160 million for the last reported tax year. I noticed that was the same number you used in "The Dog Lover" as the budget for the fictional animal-rights organization. Do you have that kind of lobbying cash for your side?
A: No, I don't, but I think I'm a whole lot of a better businessman than they are, and we can tell the truth. Everything they say has to be a lie, so it's a lot harder for them.
A frame from "The Dog Lover" film
Q: This movie is called "The Dog Lover." Do you have a dog?
A: I had mutts when the kids were little, but I don't have time to have a dog now.
Q: So you didn't make this movie because you want to protect purebred dog breeders?
A: The only people that had purebred dogs when I was a kid, they would've maybe been a hunting dog. There was a lot of 'coon hunting back then. That was one big effect that the fur laws had on America. Raccoon hunting was a big thing of fur. If you could catch them at the right time of year, the fur was valuable, and you had the fun of hunting them with your father or your uncle. That all stopped because you couldn't wear furs. They terrorized those people.
Q: "The Dog Lover" is about a fictional group called the United Animal Protection Agency. Since the movie is based on a true story, why didn't you call the group HSUS?
A: We didn't say HSUS because it would've been just HSUS that way. We used a name that is not being used, so it could be applied to any of the organizations—PETA, HSUS, ASPCA, Fund for Animals, Greenpeace, that's a horrible organization out there causing all the people to starve to death in Indonesia.
Promo ad for Wayne Pacelle's new book The Humane Economy (which has received very good reviews and a great deal of media coverage)
Q: In "The Dog Lover," the top people at the fictional UAPA are portrayed as being interested only in money and political power.
A: Wayne Pacelle at HSUS got into it, and he started making the big money.
Q: The last tax documents that I saw, he was earning about $425,000 a year.
A: Did you say $4 million?
Q: No, about $425,000.
A: Well, whatever they say, he's taking plenty more on the side. They lie. These guys have to lie. If they told the truth, nobody would give them a dime.
That television scroll? That big ol' minute-long commercial? Send the $20 a month and we'll take care of them? It's a lie. They don't have any shelters. All they want is the money. The actual dog pounds around the country aren't getting funded because the money is going to these guys.
Q: Why did you decide to tell the story of this particular South Dakota breeder in "The Dog Lover?"
A: Because I'd seen exactly the same thing happen to a lady in Southern Indiana. I didn't know her personally, but the attorney general of the state of Indiana, he went down and led his raid against this lady, who was doing nothing but raising dogs and making money. She had a dairy farm also.
That guy in South Dakota, his story was very similar to the lady in Indiana. She was not convicted either, but she was ruined. That's what happens. They come in and hit you, and the news is in there telling things their way, and people don't have time to react. That's the way they work.
Q: At the heart of "The Dog Lover" is the question of what it means to breed and sell dogs responsibly. Tell me your thoughts about that.
A: Breeding dogs is, I think, a lot like breeding anything else. The more comfortable you keep the animals, the more productive they're going to be.
But these guys have tried to say they're not just dogs. They're not just pets, even. What's the thing they call them? I can't remember…
Q: Do you mean "companion animals"?
A: Right. They're com-pan-ion animals. HSUS has, supposedly, a university of their own in D.C. where they're teaching people to sue you, or me, or anybody with the dog being the plaintiff. Of course, the dog is property to you and me, but they're doing it, and they're giving a whole lot of money to people in other colleges to teach the classes.
One of these days, they're going to get that passed, that animals will have rights. That's why it's called animal rights. Now, when that happens, it's going to be, "Katie, bar the door!" That's their long-term goal right there.
Q: So in making a film about a dog breeder, you're not actually interested in the details of how dog breeders operate?
A: I'm not fighting for the dogs, necessarily. I'm fighting against HSUS.
And they're trying to spay and neuter every animal they can, so that you can't be breeding yourself. In their perfect world, if you bought a puppy, you'd have to get it neutered.
Q: I've never seen a spay/neuter requirement in any HSUS-backed "puppy mill" bill. Spay/neuter laws usually involve shelters, and trying to stop strays and dogs in everyday people's backyards from producing more puppies.
A: I've not personally seen a stray dog. It's been so long, I can't remember. When I was a kid, you saw them all over the place.
A typical puppy-mill protest, courtesy of Patch.com
Q: Are you receiving hate mail about "The Dog Lover"?
A: We had one hate mail yesterday, which kind of shocked our director. He wasn't expecting it to be as bad as it was. The words they were using…
Q: What words did they use?
A: I can't even tell you, but it was bad. They picked me out and said horrible things about me, so it had to come from somebody paid to do it.
Q: This hate mail came from a rescuer?
A: Yes. But other than that, it's been a really, really good response from people who came to the screening and saw it. The ratings were very good. They were very surprised at the quality of it.
They loved the fact that we were doing it, the fact that somebody is doing it, that we are taking it back against these people. A lot of people don't like these guys.
Forrest Lucas, courtesy of thedoglovermovie.com
Q: Have you ever tried to talk to HSUS or other people on the rescue side about your concerns?
A: I have personally not met anybody from the other side, on the dog side of it. They don't talk to me.
But they can't scare me. They can't hurt me or anybody around me. We're not afraid of them. That's what everybody has to understand. They don't have to be afraid of these guys. Some of these big businesspeople who have stepped over for them, I just don't understand it.
Q: I think if you did talk to them, they would tell you that most people who care about dogs just want them to be treated well, all across the board. My new book The Dog Merchants talks about how there are good and bad breeders, and good and bad rescuers, and that we should all stop fighting with each other and have the good people on both sides start working together.
A: You know, I agree with everything you said there. That sounds right to me too.

Ellesmere, Shropshire, is 30 miles from the sea, but has many boats. This small market town, set among nine meres, is the capital of Shropshire's Lake District. The scenery, pretty rather than impressive, is in marked contrast to that in the South of the county. All the meres are accessible to the visitor: Blake Mere and tiny Kettle Mere, joined to it, are set in woodland, as is Cole Mere; White Mere is the headquarters of the Shropshire Sailing Club; Hanmer Mere is 5 miles away but is usually included in the group; Crose Mere and Sweat (Sweet) Mere are haunts for birds; while The Mere, the largest and covering 116 acres, has been developed as a pleasure resort. Fishing and boating are available on some of the meres.
The town itself has strong nautical associations, and an arm of the Shropshire Union Canal ran into it. Although nothing now remains of the castle, and little of the Norman church, Ellesmere still has attractive old streets and houses, and the roof of the chancel chapel in St Mary's Church is reckoned one of the finest in Shropshire.

91% of Québec Immigrant Investors Settle in Other Provinces – But That's Changing Quickly
May 11, 2020 May 11, 2020 Christian Henrik Nesheim canada, club, data, qiip, quebec, statistics
Christian Nesheim
That some nine-tenths of participants in Québec's Immigrant Investor Program (QIIP) break their perfunctory promise declaring that the Francophone province is their "intended destination" has long been a point of contention, especially in British Columbia and Ontario, the actual destinations of the bulk of investors.
Explanations for why so few of Québec's immigrants end up settling in the province have ranged from relative lack of an immigrant milieu compared to Vancouver and Toronto to Asian unfamiliarity with French language (if Québécois can be characterized as such) and bitingly cold winters compared to Vancouver's mild coastal climate.

While calls for both the provincial government in Québec and the federal government in Ottawa to enforce the declaration emerge with regularity, neither authority have any political means of doing so.
That is because the right of mobility, settlement, and work anywhere within Canada is guaranteed by Canada's Charter of Rights and Freedoms, a right that the Federal government – to say nothing of the government in any particular province – has no power to change (the House of Commons, the Senate, and two-thirds of the provinces representing over 50 percent of Canadians must approve any changes to the Charter or any part of the constitution).
Québec IIP Suspension Extended Until April 2021; IIAC Calls for Re-Launch of Federal Program
"It is a program that could have helped in economic recovery, with this pandemic. To the business community, it is deplorable," said lawyer Maxime Lapointe.
What the EU Needs to Learn From Canada's Targeted Investment Migration Model
The money-for-rights model of investment migration - while economically successful - is a hard sell, politically. Canada's model offers a compromise.
Backlogs: An Existential Threat, Not Just to Programs But to Agents as Well
Investment migration firms are taking client fees on the presumption that their applications will be processed in the future. What if that doesn't happen?
New Brunswick is among the few provinces that have found a way of "enforcing" the unenforceable promise by making its immigrants buy a bond, the liquidation of which is contingent upon proof of residence within the province as demonstrated through tax returns.
Québec, however, which enjoys 100% of the capital invested through the QIIP while passing more than 90% of the public costs otherwise associated with those individuals (education, healthcare, and so on) on to municipalities like Vancouver in British Columbia and Toronto in Ontario, has little incentive to introduce a New Brunswick-style solution.
Between 2014 and 2018, the share of main applicants who reported that their primary address was in the province of Québec has hovered between seven and eight percent but in 2019 it has risen sharply.
Between January and October 2019, fully 13% of main applicants and 15% of dependents reported that their primary residence was in the province of Québec. What explains the sudden rise?
"It could have something to do with the taxes levied on non-residents in Ontario and certain municipalities in British Colombia," suggests Canadian-born immigration lawyer David Lesperance. Such taxes, introduced in recent years in response to the rising share of predominantly Chinese purchasers of real estate who contribute to price growth but leave their apartments unoccupied.
"Many of these "ghost-investors" [nominal residents who, in reality, spend most of their time abroad] are wising up to the fact that property acquisitions in Vancouver and Toronto have become not only much more expensive in recent years but also more taxed than in Québec," he explains.

"[...] In 1975, an edited version of "Autobahn" was a top 10 hit. It wasn't the first synth hit --that honor belongs to Gershon Kingsley's hissing "Popcorn," performed by studio group Hot Butter-- but it wasn't a pure novelty either." --"Machine Soul: A History Of Techno", Jon Savage
"The 1975 movie Inserts directed by John Byrum about a pornographic film production, which starred Richard Dreyfuss and was originally released with an X rating, took its name from the double meaning that "insert" both refers to the film technique (often used in pornographic filmmaking) and to sexual intercourse." --Sholem Stein
1975 is the 975th year of the 2nd millennium, the 75th year of the 20th century, and the 6th year of the 1970s decade.

What is – to believe in crypto?
Just want to warn that I will now only express my thoughts and only my opinion. It is absolutely not necessary to listen to him and even more to approve, not to approve.
By profession I am a teacher, that's why I like to explain. I especially like to explain things that I understand myself.
Therefore, I do not understand how in the country where I had lived before religionists were first put in prison, an subject called "atheism" was taught at the university, and then the servants of religion started to get yachts and Mercedeses, and to build more churches in the 21st century than medical institutions.
I start every morning with an appeal to the Higher Power, which I call the Lord, but in this case, I do not need any intermediaries for a virtual communication with this Power.
I understand when people want to believe in good guys. And, no matter who these guys are – Jesus, Messiah, Buddha, Allah, Krishna or Santa Claus. People always need to believe in something good and hope for the best.
I even understand that religious mediators and the state tend to use this belief in their own interests, for it is easier to manage. True, now they have to get rabbits out of the hat all the more difficult.
Many people today can tell scammers from kashrut or halal not only how and what to eat to be healthy, but also to explain many other things that these magicians either try to sell for centuries for money or do not know themselves at all.
Just do not tell me now that by my statements I insult the feelings of believers. Today, insulting the feelings of believers sounds about the same as insulting the feelings of supporters of MLM.
If a person believes in something, then I believe that his faith can not be offended. It can only be strengthened, especially if they try to offend some clowns.
So, now I want to say about why I believe in the crypto. For me, the crypto is the future, it's new technologies, it's education and development.
Therefore, when some clowns paid for by banks try to tell tales. I understand them perfectly. These tales can be told to "TV people", but not to me.
I'm completely unimportant in the course of bitcoins or falls. I also do not care where, in what country crypto was banned or otherwise allowed. I understand perfectly well that this is an attempt to not order, but to manipulate the topic for its own purposes.
Therefore, no one can prevent me from believing in crypto and I understand very well what exactly this is for me.

Tuxedo Chamber of Commerce: Ride the Harriman Shuttle Bus This Weekend!
Ride the Harriman Shuttle Bus This Weekend!
Thanks to the incredible work going on at MyHarriman.com, a new shuttle service is available from the Tuxedo Train Station each weekend (Saturday and Sunday). The goal of the service is to connect visitors and residents with one of Tuxedo's greatest resources: the majestic Harriman State Park.
The shuttle will pick up at the Tuxedo Train Station at 10:50 AM (after the 10:17 train from New York) each Saturday and Sunday this summer and run a simple figure-eight loop out to several destinations in the park system. Currently there is only an outbound loop - after drop-off, you will have to hike back to the train station or your vehicle for the return trip home.
Looking to plan a trip? Check out this guide.
The service costs $5 per ride. Click here for more details.

Q: Почему std::unordered_set принимает функцию сравнения двух элементов на равенство, а не отношение меньше? Почему std::unordered_set принимает функцию сравнения двух элементов на равенство, а не отношение меньше? Ведь в таком случае можно вывести при необходимости равенство как !(a<b)&&!(b<a), а также отсортировать ключи с одинаковым значением хеш-функции, чтобы потом выполнять не линейный поиск в бакете, а бинарный.

A: Отношение "меньше" более строгое (строгое слабое упорядочение, поищите в Гугле - RuSO не разрешает ссылку вставить...), чем отношение равенства (ну, например, детскую игру "бумага-ножницы-камень" знаете? Равенство есть, а нормального отношения "меньше" - нет). Это наложило бы лишнее ограничение на хранимые данные, при том, что выигрыша в скорости практически не дало бы (подробнее всю математику хеширования см. в книгах Кнута, например, или Кормена - здесь всю ее расписывать смысла нет).
При хорошей хеш-функции получаем время поиска O(1), ну, а если функция такая, что вопрос уже встает о том, чтобы искать значение бинарным поиском - то проще использовать обычный set...

'Caps men win friendly over Portland
March 20, 200812:00AM PDT
Vancouver Whitecaps FC men continued their preparations for the 2008 season with a 4-0 friendly win over Portland Timbers in Tukwila, Washington. In what was a low-key scrimmage contest between two of USL-1's Pacific Northwest rivals, the Whitecaps put in a solid performance against an experimental Timbers side at the Starfire Sports Complex. A first-half strike by left fullback Steve Kindel was followed by new signing Nick Addlery's first-ever Whitecaps goal early in the second half. A Portland own-goal made it 3-0 before two second-half substitutes in Stefan Leslie and Alfredo Valente combined to complete the scoring on Thursday afternoon. "I was quite happy with the way we played," men's team head coach Teitur Thordarson told whitecapsfc.com. "We did very well defensively, as Portland didn't create many dangerous moments. When you end up scoring four goals, then you are doing well. I was quite satisfied with a lot of things, as we were the better team today." Though the Timbers had two players red carded by the match referee during Thursday's friendly, the Whitecaps were happy to allow their Oregon opponents bring in two new players as substitutes, as both teams were aiming to fine tune their squads before the start of the new season next month. Thordason's side will remain in Western Washington for another important friendly contest, as they face current USL-1 champions and Interstate 5 rivals Seattle Sounders at the Starfire Sports Complex on Saturday evening.

La Orden de los Hermanos Betlemitas, cuyo nombre oficial es Orden de los Hermanos de Belén (o Bethlem), es una orden religiosa católica masculina, clerical, de vida apostólica y de derecho pontificio, fundada en 1656 en Guatemala por el misionero español Pedro de San José de Betancur, con el fin de servir a los pobres. Tiene la particularidad de ser la primera orden religiosa fundada en tierras americanas y la última orden religiosa de la Iglesia católica. A los religiosos de este instituto se les conoce como hermanos betlemitas o simplemente como betlemitas (o bethlemitas) y posponen a sus nombres las siglas O.F.B.

Historia

La Orden de los Hermanos de Nuestra Señora de Bethlem tiene su origen en el misionero español, Pedro de San José de Betancur, más conocido como el Hermano Pedro. Sin embargo, en la consolidación de la obra tuvo mucho que ver el hijo del gobernador de la Provincia de Costa Rica, Rodrigo Arias Maldonado y Góngora, y otros terciarios franciscanos, discípulos del hermano Pedro. La Orden fue aprobada por el papa Inocencio XI en 1687. En 1674, llegaron a la Nueva España los primeros frailes Betlemitas y 20 años después contaban, junto a su convento de la calle Tacuba, con un hospital de menesterosos, donde además de atender enfermos, enseñaban a los niños y alimentaban a los pobres.

Rodrigo Arias fue trasladado a Lima, allí se encargó del Hospital del Carmen, en 1672. A esta fundación siguieron rápidamente otras en varias ciudades del Perú. De aquí pasaron los Betlemitas a Quito y de esa casa prosiguieron a Popayán, en el Nuevo Reino de Granada. Estos religiosos usaban un hábito pardo, ceñido a la cintura con cinturón negro de cuero y capa del mismo color; calzaban sandalias y se dejaban crecer la barba.

La orden fue suprimida en 1820 cuando contaban solo en la Nueva España con más de 20 hospitales y una decena de escuelas por donde pasaron miles de niños. Uno de los hospitales que tuvieron que abandonar albergó en 1823 el Colegio Militar recién fundado.

En 1861 la madre Encarnación Rosal (1820-1886) restaura la rama femenina de la orden. Pedro de San José de Betancur y la madre Encarnación Rosal son para la Orden Bethlemita, lo que Francisco y Clara de Asís son para la Orden Franciscana, o Domingo de Guzmán y Catalina de Siena para la Orden Dominica. En 1984 el papa Juan Pablo II autoriza la puesta en marcha de la rama masculina.

El 16 de enero de 1984, la rama masculina de la Orden es restaurada por Decreto de la Santa Sede, con el nombre de Orden de los Hermanos de Belén, nombrándose en el mismo decreto como superior-delegado para la restauración a Luis Álvarez García (1917-2002, Luis de la Cruz). El 25 de abril de 1986, con la profesión de los primeros religiosos betlemitas, queda restaurada, de hecho y de derecho, con sede en San Cristóbal de La Laguna, en la isla de Tenerife (España), donde se encuentra actualmente la Casa de Gobierno y de Formación. También se han creado casas de formación en Guatemala.

El fundador de la Orden, Pedro de San José Betancur fue beatificado en 1980 en la Basílica de San Pedro de la Ciudad del Vaticano y canonizado en la Ciudad de Guatemala por el papa Juan Pablo II en 2002. Es el primer santo nativo de las Islas Canarias, así como también se lo considera el primer santo de Guatemala y Centroamérica. Debido a su labor misionera y pastoral es popularmente conocido como el "San Francisco de Asís de las Américas", además es considerado el evangelizador de Guatemala. La restauración de la orden se debe, en gran medida, a la Fundación Obras Sociales del Santo Hermano Pedro, que actualmente rescata el legado de su fundador.

Organización

La Orden de los Hermanos de Belén es un instituto religioso centralizado, de derecho pontificio, cuyo gobierno es ejercido por un superior general delegado. La casa general se encuentra en la ciudad de San Cristóbal de La Laguna en la isla de Tenerife (Canarias).

Los betlemitas se dedican a las obras de misericordia, especialmente hacia los enfermos convalecientes. En 2015, el instituto contaba con unos 17 religiosos y dos comunidades, la de San Cristóbal de La Laguna (España) y la otra en Antigua Guatemala (Guatemala).

Personajes
 Pedro de San José de Betancur (1626-1667), santo, español, nacido en las Islas Canarias, fundador de la Orden, es venerado como santo en la Iglesia católica, elevado a los altares por el papa Juan Pablo II, el 30 de julio de 2002. Su fiesta se celebra el 25 de abril, aunque suele trasladarse al día anterior (24 de abril) debido a que el 25 es la festividad de San Marcos Evangelista.
Rodrigo Arias Maldonado y Góngora (1637-1716), español, discípulo del hermano Pedro, fue militar y funcionario. Posteriormente ingresó a la Orden betlemita y llegó a ser su superior general.

We will do the Anda frock this month and the second frock for late August. I think this will be actually pretty perfect because the second one looks more like a fall frock. School is starting, skirts are longer. Plus, the Anda is more of a loose light summer frock so it will be great for late July.
I'm so excited! So go get the Anda pattern here. And we will start bright and early on Monday!
Oh and to get more involved use this button above on your blog. It will link to all the Frock by Friday Anda posts automatically.
And look for a Thrift Store Thursday post later this afternoon!
I will be taking part this time for sure!!!
Thank for taking your time and organizing things!
I have posted your annpuncement on my brand new blog! hope you don´t mind.
This will be the first dress for myself that I have made! I'm excited to get started.
what type of fabrics would you recommend looking for to make this dress?
this looks amazing Kathleen. I really love it's simplicity and it actually looks like something I would wear a lot and you can dress it up or down! yay!
Not sure if it's user error or what, but as I was trimming the margins off the Anda pattern, I noticed that the pages that contain 3a, 3b, 3c, and 3d are not printed the same as the rest... It looks like they printed in 'landscape'. I think I can work with it, but I just wanted to mention it!
I've just bought & downloaded the Anda Dress pattern from BurdaStyle.com - but I am having problems printing off their PDF file for the instructions.
I voted for the second option, so I'm glad we're doing it in August -- but I'm excited about the Anda, too. Originally I thought it was boring, but the more I've thought about it, the more I've gotten intrigued about all the creative possibilities!
I'm definitely in on this round! Bought the pattern this morning, have the perfect fabric in my stash - now headed for the laundry - fixed up a post on my blog and added the button to my side bar.
Totally stoked about next month's FBF, too. LOVE the blouse pattern, and the gears are really turning with possibilities for a great Back-to-School dress.
I'm having trouble with grabbing the button. Where is the HTML code?
I reprinted pages 10-13 and chose 'auto-rotate and center'. This fixed the problem.
Also, I didn't have any issue downloading or printing the instructions on my end.
I've been tempted to join in on the FBF for awhile now and finally feel like I may be ready. This dress seems doable and right up my alley...but I'm having trouble with what kind of fabric to use. Any fabric recommendations for a beginner sewing? What will be easiest to work with? Help!
I've watched the last two FBFs and not had the confidence to try. I'm going to give it a go this time around. I found some beautiful polyester charmeuse from Joann's on clearance. I hope it's not too tricky to work with...it'll be stunning if it turns out!
So I think I'm ready to join this FBF...my big challenge will be enlarging the size (huge grading project :)). I'm excited for the support though. Can't wait!!!
I'm very excited.. this is my first frock by Friday and the first dress I have made for myself (I have only made kids clothes so far)..
Off to the fabric store now!
i totally agree! this frock is way more summer-ish.
I think you should look at these free dress patterns for frock by Friays, some of them look really nice and I believe the patterns are free!
Just a thought!! And thanks for all the work you put into your frock tutorials!!
This is my first time downloading a pattern. I printed it out on my standard computer printer paper. Now I need to go to a copy shop. How much should I have it enlarged by? I have no idea and would appreciate it if someone could email me at zetaku_1999@yahoo.com. Thank you!
Hi, Looking forward to joining in, I'm desperate for a new project and this is perfect!
Can you help me though, I've no idea how to add the button to my blog!
@Annonymous...If you take it to Kinkos, they will enlarge it for you. There is a 4" test square that they use on the pattern.
@mrsbutters...I had trouble too and had to add it by copying the picture, adding the picture to my blog and in that window you can add a web address. Just copy the web address for this FBF.
nevermind...I found the sizing chart on the website. THanks!
Thank you to the commenter who advised about taking the pattern to Kinkos and having them use the 4inch test square. I'm sorry to say but I don't know exactly how the test square figures in. I'm thinking to tell the Kinkos person to enlarge it by 400%. I'm 5'1" tall, a 34B and weigh 115 pounds. Many thanks for any other guidance you can give me!
Hi Susan, thanks for the tip, I managed to add the button!

Recent advances in technology has bought about a resurgence of virtual reality (VR), the main difference this time is that it actually works.
The 1990's boom was short lived, low computer processing power meant poor graphics, laggy visuals and expensive price tags. Consumers were not satisfied with the technology and the boom ended. Flash forward 20 years and consider that the humble smart-phone outstrips the processing power of an average 90's computer; it's unsurprising that VR has enjoyed a more successful launch this time. It has been tentative at times, but VR has started to filter into everyday usage, bringing with it an acceptance and expectation of virtual reality across pretty much every industry.
...it's unsurprising that VR has enjoyed a more successful launch this time.
Whilst high end virtual reality headsets are popping up with increasingly sophisticated technology, the low end market has certainly not been left behind. Advances in gyroscopes integrated into smartphones and tablet devices combined with the release of Google Cardboard, opened the doors of virtual reality to the masses, lending itself to the next generation of property marketing. At their simplest, smart-device driven headsets require little more than a pair of VR lenses. This flexibility allows the use in a marketing suite, on site, and even enables a potential buyer to view a development from the comfort of their own home.
We are continually enhancing our Virtual Tours as technology changes, making an EyeSiteView tour one of the most comprehensive packages currently available. Our immersive tours have been adopted by a number of national housing developers, offering potential buyers the unique opportunity to explore a development and navigate inside homes before a single brick has been laid.
With Goldman Sachs predicting VR for real estate alone to be worth $2.6bn by 2025, it is clear that as VR becomes a standard expectation, property marketing methods will need to evolve, providing realistic, accurate and immersive experiences beyond traditional floorplans and sales brochures. As we stand on the cusp of a VR revolution, it's an exciting time for those working in the property sector and buyers alike!

I went into this fairly spoiler-free, having not heard of the historical person the movie was based on, and only watching the trailer briefly, and seeing this Tom Hanks / Jimmy Fallon piece.
Spielberg is in good form here, even if the absence of a John Williams score (and indeed the lack of music overall for the first several scenes) makes a tonal difference. Hanks does a good job in something that is at the same time cinematic, and more a stage play than a movie. And this is very much a story about a bunch of men: if this movie passes the Bechdel Test, I don't remember the qualifying scene.
If you're a Spielberg fan, or enjoy a well-told historical thriller, it's enjoyable fare, but probably doesn't need to be viewed on a giant screen.


It was not a united country.
It includes a part of western Turkey and southern Italy.
There are a lot of islands.
