Dec corn up 1 at $3.8875
Nov beans up 1 ¾ at $9.355
Crude oil up $.10 at $56.07
Corn prices remain in a very tight range. Since the middle of last week, we've essentially traded five cents higher and five cents lower, just very little movement. The trade continues to take a wait-and-see approach towards final U.S. production, South American weather, Chinese trade. There is some rough weather being forecast next week for some areas of the U.S. that still have corn in the fields. Who knows how it ultimately plays out, but as of right now, there's a powerful autumn storm in the mix for next Wednesday or Thursday. Several sources are calling for heavier rains and perhaps a foot of snow in some parts of Minnesota, parts of Iowa, Wisconsin, etc…
Soybeans bulls are talking about the production uncertainty associated with the bushels that still remain in the fields. There are some bouts of cold and rough weather forecast in the days ahead so the downside could stay fairly well supported. Bears are pointing to continued U.S. harvest pressure and improved moisture in South America.
The USDA's latest Livestock World Market and Trade report projects Chinese pork production to decline another 25 percent in 2020. University of Missouri's Scott Brown says that presents a tremendous market opportunity for the US pork sector. "Back in 2015 the Chinese produced 56.5 billion metric tons of pork," he says. "But from 56.5 to 34.8 billion metric tons in 2020 – and that's why everybody's looking at what's the opportunity for trade." On the demand side, the USDA projects China's pork imports to increase 35 percent next year. Brown says the U.S. is in a great position to capitalize on China's needs – especially as US pork production is expected to grow another 4 percent in 2020. "The absolute growth in the United States pork production in 2020 likely exceeds the growth in everybody else excluding us and the Chinese," he says. "It keeps reminding me we've got to be able to move some of that product outside of the United States, I believe – if we want to try and keep prices at some reasonable level." Brown says China is also likely to turn to the EU and Brazil to meet their pork demand needs. (Source: Brownfield Ag News)
Ethanol industry groups expressed their disappointment with the news that the Brazilian government amended the recent August 31 rule that raised the quota on U.S. ethanol imports under the tariff rate quote (TRQ) from 600 million liters per year to nearly 750 million liters per year. The TRQ regulates the threshold of ethanol that can be imported into Brazil without triggering a 20% tariff. In a joint statement from Growth Energy, the U.S. Grains Council, and the Renewable Fuels Assn., the groups said the action represents "a step backwards in Brazilian government claims that it is an advocate of free markets." In the statement, the ethanol supporters noted that for more than 15 years, Brazilian ethanol industry leaders lobbied the U.S. government to drop the tax on imported ethanol, saying that it believes in a two-way street and that Brazil would lead by example and eliminate barriers to renewable, clean fuels.

America is sitting on a mountain of uneaten bacon. More than 40 million pounds (18,000 metric tons) of pork bellies, the cut used for bacon making, were sitting in refrigerated warehouses as of Sept. 30, according to U.S. government data released Tuesday. That's the most for the month since 1971. The overhang came after a build up in the American hog herd. Pork output surged over the summer months and through September, said Dennis Smith, senior account executive at Archer Financial Services Inc. Hog producers started building up their herds in anticipation of more demand for meat imports from China, where African swine fever has killed millions of pigs. The U.S. herd swelled to 77.7 million head. as of Sept. 1, a record for the month and the highest since 1943 considering all periods, the most recent U.S. Department of Agriculture data show. So far, that's mostly led to an excess for U.S. supplies. But the glut could be short-lived if recent Chinese buying is any indication. Export sales of American pork have soared to weekly records, buoyed by purchases from the Asian country. China mostly buys carcasses, which they then process domestically, rather than individual cuts of pork. Of course, the belly goes over with the whole hog. "The theory is, if we continue to export split carcasses to China, it'll create a belly shortage," Smith said. (Source: Bloomberg)
Caterpillar yesterday reported disappointing third-quarter earnings and slashed its full-year outlook in what some see as a warning sign for the overall global economy. The construction and manufacturing equipment titan, viewed as a bellwether for global industry, revealed a -6% drop in sales and an -8% drop in profit per share in the third quarter. Caterpillar produces so much of the world's equipment that a decline in its business often indicates a broader slowdown in construction and factory activity. Weaker demand for its products typically means people are building and manufacturing less, which doesn't bode well for global economic growth. The company blamed the sales decline on dealers slashing inventories by $400 million last quarter, after raising them by $800 million in the same period of 2018. CEO Jim Umpleby warned that pattern is likely to continue. "In the fourth quarter, we now expect end-user demand to be flat and dealers to make further inventory reductions due to global economic uncertainty," he said in the earnings release. Caterpillar's sales in Asia-Pacific declined -13% in the third quarter mainly because of the lower demand in China, the company said. (Sources: Business Insider, CNBC)

Putting an End to the Taiji Dolphin Slaughter, Right From Your Computer
Every year, thousands of dolphins are slaughtered along the coast of Japan in brutal drive hunts. The majority of dolphins caught in these hunts are butchered and their meat is sold in restaurants and supermarkets throughout the country. To fetch a higher price, and simultaneously tout itself as a more premium product, the meat is oftentimes purposely mislabeled as "whale" meat. A smaller percentage of the animals are spared from death, and instead sold to aquariums and marine parks in countries such as China, Taiwan, Egypt and the Philippines.
Bottlenose dolphins are the most commonly caught dolphin species in the Taiji dolphin drive
Drive hunts, also known as drive fisheries, refer to the practice of herding dolphins and small whales into coves where the animals are subsequently slaughtered or, more rarely, spared alive to be sold into captivity. While these hunts went on for years outside of the public eye, the rise of social media, revealing documentaries, covert video recordings and highly publicized protests have brought international attention and outcry to the issue of drive hunting.
September 1st marked the beginning of the annual dolphin drive hunt in Taiji, Japan – an eight month long killing spree made infamous in the 2009 award-winning documentary The Cove. On average, the Taiji dolphin drive will result in the death of over 1,000 dolphins and the capture of 200 dolphins for the captivity trade.
Although the powerful Japan Fisheries Agency maintains that the yearly Taiji dolphin drive is an important part of Japan's "food culture", the drive itself is fueled primarily through the profits from sales to the multi-million dollar marine mammal captivity industry. A dolphin slaughtered for meat, for example, fetches around $600 on the market, while those destined for aquariums or marine parks can be sold for up to $300,000.

Unfortunately, outside of individual country laws, there are no international protections for these animals. The International Whaling Commission, for example, does not manage dolphin or porpoise species, only large, baleen species such as humpback whales. Countries that partake in dolphin drives set their own quotas and manage their own industries.
Educating the public, particularly the local public, about the realities and environmental impacts of dolphin drives is therefore an important first step towards ending the needless slaughter. The fact that dolphin meat is highly contaminated with mercury, in some cases exceeding the Japanese Ministry of Health's recommended levels by 5,000 times, should be evidence enough that dolphin meat is unsuitable for human consumption.
The real change in Taiji, though, will come when we are able to put a stop to the marine mammal captivity trade. In 2002, for example, Pacific Whale Foundation was an instrumental part of banning marine mammal captivity throughout Maui County. U.S. law also now prohibits the importation of dolphins from Taiji for captivity purposes.
Ric O'Barry, the longtime dolphin trainer turned anti-captivity activist, has been a leader in raising awareness about the Taiji dolphin slaughter. O'Barry's annual pilgrimage to the town of Taiji coincided with this year's start to the dolphin drive, and he spent the past weekend presenting hunt photos to the U.S. Embassy in Japan, staging beachside protests in Taiji and meeting with the local Taiji town council to discuss alternatives to the dolphin hunt.

In addition, as the first dolphin hunting boats launched on Monday, O'Barry and his comrades across the world celebrated Save Japan Dolphin Day 2014, an international day of action that serves to protest the dolphin drive and the marine mammal captivity industry that ultimately fuels the drive.
As of day two, the dolphin boats have come back empty handed.
The good news is, you don't have to be in Japan to help make a difference for the dolphins! Here are 5 easy ways to be a part of the solution, without leaving your computer:
Sign the petition. Sponsored by Earth Island Institute, this petition is currently over 750,000 signatures strong. Sign your name and appeal to the U.S. government to urge Japan to revoke permits that allow for dolphin slaughter.
"Like" it and "Share" it on Facebook: Facebook isn't just about updating the world about what you ate for breakfast – it's a place to make a stand and reach a lot of people in the process! Start out by "Liking" Ric O'Barry's Dolphin Project Page and then "Share" daily updates (like this one) to your own newsfeed!
#tweet4taiji: Social media takes ocean advocacy to the next level! Use the hashtag #tweet4taiji on your Twitter or Instagram accounts to join the conversation and also raise awareness about dolphin drives.
Send an email: While it may seem slightly old fashioned, sending an email or writing a letter is still an important way to voice your concerns! Better yet, throw an email writing party and send to the following:
US Embassy in Japan: Caroline Kennedy – Ambassador of the United States to Japan; Fax: 011-81-3-3505-1862; Send E-mail to the U.S. Embassy in Japan
PRIME MINISTER OF JAPAN: Prime Minister Shinzo- Abe; Website: http://www.kantei.go.jp/foreign/index-e.html; Comment Form #1: https://www.kantei.go.jp/foreign/forms/comment_ssl.html

Host a screening of "The Cove" or "Blackfish": If you have a DVD player, projector and screen, you could host your very own backyard screening of these incredibly eye-opening and advocacy oriented documentaries for your friends and family. Have everyone pitch in to cover the cost of the screening, and let the education go to work! While you may actually have to move away from your computer for this one, you can at least purchase the film online!

It has been a year that Mr. Barack Obama took over the presidency. Now is a good time as any to do something about the debt in our personal financial lives. We, the American people, voted President Barack Obama in office, as we had done his predecessors, to do what he has to do on a national level. So we gave him a mandate to govern and act responsibly.
The market, the banks and other financial institutions and, most of all, the American public need the same reassurance as Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) – the 32nd President of the United States – who declared in 1933 "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself" – provided 75 years ago to the nation.
The fear FDR talked about was as real in 2009 as it was back in 1933 and will be in 2010 and beyond if we don't start doing something about it. We must tame the debt beast on both fronts – national as well as personal levels.
Since September of 2008, when bad mortgages toppled the reign of some of the biggest financial institutions on Wall Street, the U.S. economy has moved with unstoppable speed into its worst crisis since 1933.
In a ripple effect scenario, the market went bust as investors ran for the safety of cash, while many banks – suddenly short of capital and long on some "nasty" loans – froze lending. They had been lending money, but were unable to get return on their money.
Now it's time for us to act and live responsibly in our financial lives.
How do you tame the debt beast now?
First off, let us count the ways how we personified this huge Godzilla look-a-like debt beast. And I mean personified, because many of us have had nightmares about it.
Statistics between 2001 and 2006, according to a report by a U.S. Senate committee, show that an average family's inflation-adjusted income declined. So what did the American people do? They borrowed and borrowed and kept borrowing to make up for the decline in their so-called quality of life.
We borrowed and raised the quality of our lives – immediately – without thinking how we would ever repay the debt.
We could not pay back and lowered the quality of our lives – eventually. My friend from the 60s says: "Borrowing was deliberate but in no way intentional." Go figure that.
When the prices of the homes we owned were going up, it created a kind of wealth effect. We all liked that feeling. So we spent more and more like there was no tomorrow.
When the prices of the home we owned were coming down, it created a kind of poverty effect. We all hated that feeling. So we borrowed and kept spending more and more like there was no tomorrow.
Come to think of it, that's what it was. "The feeling." Sounds like the name of a horror movie. That psychological shift from one kind of feeling to the other, on the part of the American people, poses a very real threat to an already weak economy.
Loss of confidence in the executive branch, the Treasury, the market, and all those other institutions, is perhaps the most dangerous aspect of the entire economic situation.
This has turned into a market concern for the worst. This is a real issue – no kidding – that is related to bad credit policy, on the part of the government as well as the American people, that has been going on for many years.
During the so-called "roaring nineties" and a better part of the following decade, low interest rates spurred lending. The banks didn't care much because they were making huge profits. It worked for them for many years, so they never bothered to look at the process and fix it.
In retrospect, even when the defaults on home loans, car loans, and credit card debt started occurring, the banks were still giving out loans to people that could never pay back.
That was the time when Godzilla raised its head. Even if some people saw it on both sides of the spectrum of give and take, they just ignored it.
The banks, for sure, did not seem to notice it. How could banks continue to profit while an increasing number of their own customers were going broke? No one in the banks or anywhere else for that matter ever thought about that.
The answer could be in the collapse of stock market. A fear-fueled sell-off had already diminished $2 trillion in retirement assets. Another $4 trillion had vanished from housing since the bubble popped in 2006.
So, by the time, Congress authorized more than $700 billion rescue package for the banking industry, a damage of $6 trillion had already been done. I cannot comprehend a billion dollars, let alone a trillion. But someone said the other day, a little more than a billion minutes ago, Jesus Christ was alive.
Most consumers had accumulated many credit cards and had owed money on all of them. Many thought their situation was dumb but manageable.
However, another blow to their misery came in the shape of when banks lowered their credit limits. All of a sudden, consumers were maxing out those cards which in turn triggered higher interest rates.
Before long, Godzilla had come into shape and people started having nightmares, not to mention losing sleep.
Some people, and I am sure not all, have learned the lesson that frugality, and not necessarily high credit score, is the key to their financial security.
The U.S. economy is market-driven, to be sure. Now, how do you restore faith in a market-driven economy.
For banks and Wall Street, regulation means playing by a new set of rules. The party is over and it must not come back if we have learned anything.
For individuals, self-regulation means developing a new mindset – one closer to the attitude children of the Worst (I don't know what was so Great about it) Depression grew up with – that says if we don't have it, we don't spend it.
As we all know by now, the individual savings rate is rising. That is, we spend less than we make. That's good. However, the government rate is at a deficit. We all feel the pain. Long term, economists agree, the pain might be more severe.
I think all these three players are at fault.
There was no regulation. Even if there was some, no one took the time to implement it. Like they say in a third world country, the government looked the other way. There was no government, period, that was supposed to protect the American people.
Banks and other financial institutions did not bother to check whether the consumers they were lending to were actually able to return that money. The institutions that lent the money should have been more discrete about it.
Nobody can blame us. As long as the Joneses are alive in our mind, we will borrow and spend to infinity. There is no end to it. The people who borrowed the money should have known better – that they really could not afford to borrow more.
Remember what Mary Ellen Edmunds once said: "We buy things we don't need, with money we don't have, to impress people we don't like." Just think about it.
Think about the fact that your financial situation can change really quickly. It has changed for the worse the last couple of years for most Americans.
Howdy! I just wish to give a huge thumbs up for the great information you've gotten right here on this post. I will likely be coming again to your blog for more soon.
Whats up! I just want to give a huge thumbs up for the good data you have got here on this post. I can be coming back to your blog for extra soon.
Hello! I simply would like to give a huge thumbs up for the great information you will have here on this post. I might be coming back to your weblog for extra soon.
I'm impressed, I must say. Seldom do I encounter a blog that's equally educative and amusing, and let me tell you, you've hit the nail on the head. The problem is an issue that too few people are speaking intelligently about. I'm very happy I came across this in my hunt for something relating to this.
Write more, that's all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video to make your point.
You definitely know what you're talking about, why throw away your intelligence on just posting videos to your weblog when you could be giving us something enlightening to read?


This clever technique for transforming sweet potatoes into "fettuccine" was inspired by a prize-winning recipe from the North Carolina Sweet Potato Commission.
Peel sweet potato, and cut lengthwise into 1/8-inch-thick slices using a mandoline. Stack 4 to 6 potato slices on a cutting board; cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch-wide strips. Repeat procedure with remaining slices.
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat; add potato strips, and sauté 6 to 8 minutes or until al dente. (Don't overcook strips or they will fall apart.) Add 1/2 cup Pecan Gremolata, and toss gently to coat. Serve immediately.
I made this and my husband and I loved it. It was easy to make and didn't take much time.

Doncaster Rovers: Gavin Baldwin on contracts, negotiations and backing Grant McCann's 18-month plan
Doncaster Rovers chief executive Gavin Baldwin believes so many players being out of contract next summer will help Grant McCann shape his squad much more quickly.
Monday, 24th December 2018, 2:03 pm
Updated Tuesday, 8th January 2019, 4:08 pm
Grant McCann, chairman David Blunt and chief executive Gavin Baldwin
Baldwin admits the club would have preferred not to be in the situation where 21 players are set to see their current deals expire in June.
And he says the upheaval which followed Darren Ferguson's surprise resignation as manager in the summer was the primary cause of the issue.
But he believes the situation has presented boss McCann with a rare opportunity to mould his squad in his image mere months into his tenure.
Explaining the issue, Baldwin told the Free Press:Â 'This is not blame, it is just fact, but we wouldn't have been in that situation had Darren Ferguson not left.
'Grant came in and from day one, he said he wanted to have a look at the players before extending contracts.
'We, before Darren left, were very clear what players we wanted to stay and Darren was keen to extend.
'When he left, all bets were off and the players needed to prove themselves to the new manager.
'From the start of the interview process, Grant was clear that as manager, he'd make his mind up and have those conversations.
'It isn't ideal and we had plans that would have meant we weren't in this situation.
'But it has given Grant the opportunity to look at the players.
'When we did our 18-month plan, we'll have the unique situation that in 12 months to 18 months' time, Grant will have his team on the field.
'Grant has been quite clear that at other clubs that could take two or three years.
'You could say through good fortune or good management, Grant will be going into next season with players that he wants '" that he's either extended, recruited himself or is very happy with.'
The 18-month plan has been drawn up by McCann, Baldwin and the club's hierarchy in recent weeks as the Rovers boss looks to build his squad for a push for Championship football.
Determining which players will and will not be offered deals of the 21 whose futures are uncertain is a key part of that.
'Grant and I met with the chairman and we've come up with an 18 month plan of what we want the team to look like next season,' Baldwin said.
'But we still want to give ourselves the best possible chance of promotion next season.
'We're using January to start working towards that 18-month goal.
'Kieran Sadlier has come in.
'He is someone that Grant has been very keen on since he came here.
'The other targets that might come in, Grant either thinks will get us promoted this season or will help us build to next season.
'It's a hopefully well thought-out plan of extending player contracts with new ones coming in as well and some going out.'
Discussion over new contract is well under way, with Danny Amos seeing the club take up the option of an extra year in his contract.
And McCann expects two or three others to be finalised over the next couple of weeks.
'Grant has spoken to the players and we're in the process of putting those offers in writing," Baldwin said.
'Some have had them and some will be on their way.
'Those contract extensions are on-going conversations, primarily between Grant and the players, and then we have to do the administration side of it.
'Grant has met with players that extensions will not be offered to just yet.
'Basically he wants to see more of them and make his mind up.
'We're hoping to be in the situation by February that we're nailed on, we know what we're doing next year and Grant is absolutely sure of who he wants here, regardless of what division we're in next season.
'Everyone we've spoken to so far has gone very well but we're bang in the middle of it.'
As for further additions, Baldwin insists McCann is happy with his squad following the addition of Sadlier and with a young forward set to sign on loan at the start of January.
But the chief executive says McCann will continue to examine the market for potential additions, with funds remaining available for potential loan or permanent signings.
'He is looking strategically where we need reinforcements in certain areas,' he said.
'But he is very happy with what we've got as well. He thinks they've done really well and wants to be loyal to those that have got us in the position we're in.
'However, he does believe that by adding strength in depth and a little bit of tweaking in the first team that we've got a really good chance of getting promoted.
'With Kieran, other teams were very keen.
'Grant knew him from the past and we knew as a board he thought very highly of him so we did all we could to make sure we got him in and Grant is delighted.'
On explaining the board's eagerness to back McCann's plans, Baldwin says there has been a real appreciation of the job done so far by the 38-year-old.
And he insists there is a desire to ensure McCann has all the tools he needs to achieve the ultimate goal of promotion.
'We thought we had done a thorough recruitment process and we thought we'd got the right man but we've genuinely enjoyed the first half of the season,' Baldwin said.
'We also appreciate that when things don't go our way, he is brutally honest. He blames himself, he's been honest about performances and then it's straight back to the training ground to put it right.
'There's no hiding away. All he wants us to do is be better every day and he challenges the players to do that.
'When I walk around the ground on a Saturday, the fans are genuinely enjoying it.
'I'd like to think we've got a good relationship where we can have some proper honest conversations and talk about players, the future, facilities etc.'‹'‹'‹'‹'‹'‹'‹'‹'‹'‹'‹'‹'‹'‹'‹'‹'‹'‹'‹'‹'‹
'Our only aim is to give him what he needs for the best chance at promotion.'


NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Pharmaceutical giant Pfizer said Tuesday that it will reduce its staff by another 6,000 jobs and shut down eight factories in its ongoing mission to cut costs in the wake of its merger with Wyeth.
Pfizer (PFE, Fortune 500) said the global job reductions will occur "over the next several years" and the factories will be closed by the end of 2015.
This is just the most recent wave of cuts and closures, as the company aims to reduce costs by up to $5 billion by the end of 2012.
The eight factories being closed in this round are located in the United States, Puerto Rico and Ireland, according to the drugmaker.
More specifically, the drugmaker said it would shut down manufacturing at its Richmond, Va., plant and at two cities in New York: Rouses Point, near the Canadian border, and Pearl River near New York City, where Pfizer is headquartered. However, the drugmaker will continue to conduct research and development at the sites in Richmond and the Pearl River plant, which it acquired from Wyeth.
"This is unexpected and does not bode well for local or global economic recovery," said C. Scott Vanderhoef, chief economic officer for Rockland County, where Pearl River is located.
Vanderhoef said that Pfizer plans to eliminate 1,250 jobs at the Pearl River plant by 2014 - a number that the company confirmed.
Pfizer's factory closures include shut-downs in three Irish cities -- Loughbeg, Shanbally and Dublin -- as well as two cities in Puerto Rico -- Caguas and Carolina.
In addition, the company plans to "reduce operations" at six other plants in the U.S., Puerto Rico and Ireland, as well as in Germany and the United Kingdom.
Pfizer completed its acquisition of Wyeth on Oct. 15, 2009. Since then, the workforce has been reduced by 6,900 workers, primarily in manufacturing and R&D, according to a May 4 announcement.
Pfizer spokesman Ray Kerins said the total current workforce is approximately 113,800, down from 138,000 people that were employed by both companies in 2008. He said the company plans to reduce the total to 107,800 in five years.
"We obviously take these reductions very seriously and want to make sure our colleagues that are impacted by this are treated with dignity and respect," said Kerins.


Craigslist, the Website as it is now.
A hypothetical redesign of Craigslist as envisioned by New York Times' designers.
Wired magazine ran an article not too long ago in its printed and online editions entitled: "Why Craigslist Is Such a Mess." The story outlined all of the problems with the visual design—and what Web designers like to call "usability"—of the hugely popular classified ads site. Wired notes that in spite of a design that violates "every principle of usability and common sense" the site remains immensely popular. Why is that?
Part of the answer lies in the fact that Craigslist has no true competitors. It gained a here-to-fore insurmountable first-mover advantage in the late 1990s in offering free classified ads and has never looked back since. Companies that don't have competitors don't have to worry about design. They don't have to bother to improve their product because there are no real alternatives. They sell features, not benefits. It's a classic monopoly situation.
Now take another example, prior to the iPod there were many makes of MP3 players on the market but they were not very user-friendly. Most players were geared towards people who really liked gadgets instead of the broader swath of the population that liked music but could care less about gadgets. Apple saw an opportunity to design a product that was both easier-to-use and more beautiful. By doing so, it was able to capture an astounding 75 percent of the portable music player market and, at one point, even as much as 92 percent.
The comparison is not entirely apt as the iPod is a classic example of an industrial-era product while Craigslist represents a new media virtual public good of sorts. Certainly the economics of these two industries are very different and that might explain why Craigslist is a Website that has no true competitors and, thus, is not forced to make its product more beautiful and more usable. The undeniable fact is that even though it's downright ugly, it's usable enough.
So does this mean that you should fire your web designer and make your site look like its 1999? Of course not.
The first reason is that if you are a small business or self-employed professional, unlike Craigslist, you cannot afford to give away your product or service for free. You, we (Stylomate is also a small business) have to compete on the basis of something other than free. Small businesses have to offer tangible and intangible benefits.
As consumers, we value Craiglist only because it's free. If the company tried to charge us, we wouldn't remain loyal and we'd go somewhere else that offered us free classified advertising. Again, Craiglist gives us a feature (free classified advertising) not a benefit. Since free things compete on the basis of this most basic feature of "freeness," they don't have to sell benefits. Free things can afford to be ugly or hard-to-use because so long as they do give us something we need, we want them only for their freeness.
The second reason is that if you are a small business or self-employed professional in virtually any sector of the economy then you have an inordinate amount of competition. Your website, business card and other marketing collateral vie for attention in a very crowded marketplace.
All this competition among firms selling very similar products or services means that you have to sell the benefits of our products and services and not simply the features. There are a lot of lawyers in Washington, DC and bankers in NYC. What makes you so special?
This is where design can play an important role in communicating the main benefits that your firm offers. Design adds value by adding the perception of value and by associating products and services with benefits. The more professional your company's image is, even if you are a one-person shop, the more likely you are to leave a positive impression on a prospective client. And not just any client, but "A-list" clients, the ones that are likely to spend more on your products and services.
Are you an experienced firm that seeks to communicate this benefit? A minimal, clean business card and website design using blues, greens and black and that looks like it was created by a professional designer sends the message that you are a experienced and reputable professional (and certainly not free). The higher the quality of the design of your business' identity, the better the impression you will make and the more likely clients will be willing to pay a higher price for your services.
Ultimately, a strong business identity design and an equally well-designed and easy-to-use Website design says that you place a great value upon your own service and makes it more likely that clients will value you. After all, if you don't give yourself a little love first, who will?
Which Craigslist design do you like more?
The actual one. The New York Times' version is too snooty and elitist.
The New York Times' rendition. Only a mother could love the actual design.
As designers, we are generally not known for our business acumen. Generally, we'd rather be designing someone else's project than figuring out how to make more money for ourselves.
Here is a fascinating interview via Mixergy.com with a bootstrapping design entrepreneur who built WooThemes into a $2+ million annual business. WooThemes, is a blog template, or "theme," developer and is known for clean designs and code as well as extraordinary customer support.
WooThemes' cofounder, Adriaan "Adii" Pienaar, recalls how his father, in addition to business studies in college, caused him to search for ways of making "passive income" and turning design into a product as opposed to a service.
The Internet has been a boon for designers in many respects as—at long last—it has created a way for design professionals to earn passive income streams by building and reselling templates, for example.
In this video, one of the pioneers tells his story. You gotta love this guy's humility.
This has got to be my favorite business card designs of all time. It's the work of the talented Spanish designer Sergio del Puerto, who runs the Madrid-based design and art direction studio called Serial Cut.
It's humorous without being silly. Humor goes a long way to ingratiating oneself, building relationships and peaking interest.
It's simple and to the point. "Call me" on a busines card: it doesn't get any more direct than that.
It's memorable. I bet you won't forget this business card.
Do you like this business card's design?
I freaking love it. The best business card ever designed, without a doubt.
I am in love with it but give me a break: there is no "best ever."
I like it but don't love it.
A beautiful die-cut business card with a minimalist design.
I noticed this recent blog entry on a website geared toward graphic designers that—in addition to an impressive gallery of images of business card designs that use traditional but more advanced printing techniques—brushes upon some important points.
The first is that it is pretty hard to stand out from the crowd these days as a result of glut of social and digital media. Social media has some important benefits (otherwise we wouldn't blog or post to Twitter) but also some limitations. One of those, at least from a corporate identity design and marketing standpoint, is standing out from the crowd. At the moment, everyone (and rightfully so) is investing in their digital architecture, platforms and marketing.
Very few are doing so with respect to offline marketing and that makes anyone who does invest in old school methods not only retro but unique. Any good business person knows to not follow the crowd. Ergo, where there exists an opportunity for differentiation, seize it.
One simple bit powerful way to do this is for small businesses and self-employed professionals is by having a business card with a unique form. Die-cutting in the printing process is a way of giving a business card, for example, a nonstandard shape or to cut holes out of the card itself.
Many people who have never thought about graphic design tend to think that "more is more:" more color, more graphics, etc. Another common and related misperception is that bigger is better: bigger type, bigger pictures, bigger logos, and the list goes one. Sometimes more and big might be good but usually "understatement," simplicity and elegance transmit a stronger message of quality, dependability and experience, in particular in professional services like accounting, law and healthcare.
One of the most appealing aspects of die-cutting and other specialized printing processes such as embossing (when done right) is that they are incredibly elegant, subtle and send an indirect but powerful message about the quality of the company or the business professional donning the card.
So when you go to replenish your business cards ask your designer or design company about creative ideas with respect to the form and the paper and not just the visual design.
Check out this gallery of inspiring business card design. This embossed business card is extraordinarily elegant.
No one but no one talks about business cards or business card design these and certainly no one talks about business card etiquette on the web. So when we found this blog article entitled Business Card Elegance And Etiquette by Search Marketer Max Kalehoff we took note.
In a digital world comprised of social media, smart phones and augmented reality, business cards seem to be a relic of a bygone era. Not so, says Kalehoff, who argues that business cards, their design and the way we use them are just as important as ever.
In spite of the speed, convenience and other benefits of digital communications and platforms, we still prefer their physical counterparts. After all, would you rather have a friend that you chat with on Facebook or would you rather have a friend that you can chat with over a beer. Face-to-face relationships and social rituals are still paramount to life and business. Don't believe me? Well ponder this fact: in spite of the ubiquity of Amazon and eBay, only 3 percent of retail transactions in the U.S. are conducted over the Internet. The fact is, we'd rather go to a brick and mortar store, fawn over books or clothes or toasters and make small talk with the cashier.
Business cards are important for this reason. We still prefer real, physical things and relationships to virtual ones. I don't know about you but I am a bit suspicious of friendship requests on Facebook or LinkedIn from people I don't know. I prefer a physical introduction and business cards can help with that.
1. The tactile experience is still important and so the material and surface of your business card matters a great deal. So buy quality paper that feels nice.
2. Have a beautiful and simple business card design. Hire a designer. Don't be cheap. You wouldn't scrimp on your business suit so don't do it on your business card. They both reflect on you and your business.
3. Be minimal. We love this one. Use fewer words, not more on your business card. Have lots of white space. This is the best kept secret of designers and advertisers. Limiting ourselves is one of the hardest things to do since we have so much to offer. And yet, simplifying our message to the single most important thing that we want to say is critical to actually attracting attention and being heard. Communication is more effective the more simple and direct it is. The same goes for your business card design.
4. Carry a business card and make sure it's tidy. Sage advice. Someone that has a polished business card readily available still makes a strong first impression in a digital word.
There are some more kernels of wisdom in the article and we recommend you check out this old school marketing advice from a digital marketing pro.

Thank you so much for visiting us in search of "Build Leocoin Qmake" online. Cryptocurrency is freeing individuals to transact money and do business on their terms. Each user can send and receive payments in the same way, but in addition they take part in more complicated smart contracts. Multiple signatures allow a trade to be supported by the network, but where a certain number of a defined group of folks consent to sign the deal, blockchain technology makes this possible. This allows progressive dispute mediation services to be developed in the future. These services could allow a third party to approve or reject a trade in the event of disagreement between the other parties without checking their money. Unlike cash and other payment systems, the blockchain constantly leaves public proof that a transaction happened. This can be potentially used in an appeal against companies with deceptive practices. Just a fraction of bitcoins issued so far are available on the exchange markets. Bitcoin markets are competitive, meaning the price a bitcoin will rise or fall depending on supply and demand. A lot of people hoard them for long term savings and investment. This limits the variety of bitcoins that are really circulating in the exchanges. Moreover, new bitcoins will continue to be issued for decades to come. So, even the most diligent buyer couldn't purchase all existing bitcoins. This situation is just not to suggest that markets usually are not vulnerable to price exploitation, yet there's no requirement for substantial sums of cash to move market prices up or down. The merest events on earth market can change the price of Bitcoin, This can make Bitcoin and any other cryptocurrency volatile. Since among the earliest forms of earning money is in money lending, it's a fact which you can do that with cryptocurrency. Most of the lending websites now focus on Bitcoin, many of these websites you happen to be required fill in a captcha after a specific period of time and are rewarded with a small quantity of coins for seeing them. It is possible to visit the www.cryptofunds.co website to locate some lists of of these websites to tap into the money of your choice. Unlike forex, stocks and options, etc., altcoin marketplaces have quite different dynamics. New ones are always popping up which means they do not have a lot of market data and historical view for you to backtest against. Most altcoins have somewhat inferior liquidity as well and it is hard to think of a fair investment strategy. Bitcoin is the chief cryptocurrency of the net: a digital money standard by which all other coins are compared to. Cryptocurrencies are distributed, worldwide, and decentralized. Unlike conventional fiat currencies, there's no governments, banks, or any other regulatory agencies. As such, it truly is more resistant to crazy inflation and corrupt banks. The advantages of using cryptocurrencies as your method of transacting money online outweigh the protection and privacy threats. Security and privacy can readily be attained by just being intelligent, and following some basic guidelines. You'dn't set your entire bank ledger online for the word to see, but my nature, your cryptocurrency ledger is publicized. This can be fastened by removing any identity of possession from the wallets and thus keeping you anonymous. This mining action validates and records the transactions across the entire network. So if you're trying to do something illegal, it's not a good idea because everything is recorded in the public register for the remainder of the world to see eternally.
It should be challenging to get more modest increases (~ 10%) throughout the day. Study how to read these Candlestick charts! And I discovered these two rules to be accurate: having small increases is more lucrative than trying to fight up to the peak. Most day traders follow Candlestick, so it is better to look at books than wait for order confirmation when you believe the price is going down. Secondly, there's more volatility and reward in monies that haven't made it to the profitableness of websites like Coinwarz. You may run a search on the web. First learn, then models, indicators and most importantly practice looking at old charts and pick out trends. When you commence to keep a trading diary screenshots and your comment/forecast. Precisely what is the best way to get confident with charts IMHO. Oh certainly, and don't fool yourself into thinking that you purchase the uptrend will never decrease! Always will go down! Viewers incremental benefits are more reliable and profitable (most times) Entrepreneurs in the cryptocurrency movement may be wise to research possibilities for making huge ammonts of cash with various types of internet marketing.There could be a rich reward for anyone daring enough to endure the cryptocurrency markets.Bitcoin architecture provides an instructive example of how one might make a lot of money in the cryptocurrency markets. Bitcoin is an amazing intellectual and technical achievement, and it has generated an avalanche of editorial coverage and venture capital investment opportunities.

Despite the criticism and disbelief, a cryptocurrency coin may be better suited for some uses than others. Monetary solitude, for instance, is amazing for political activists, but more problematic as it pertains to political campaign financing. We need a stable cryptocurrency for use in trade; should you be living paycheck to paycheck, it'd happen as part of your wealth, with the remainder reserved for other currencies. The physical Internet backbone that carries information between the different nodes of the network is currently the work of several firms called Internet service providers (ISPs), including firms that provide long distance pipelines, sometimes at the international level, regional local conduit, which finally connects in families and businesses. The physical connection to the Internet can only happen through any of these ISPs, players like amount 3, Cogent, and IBM AT&T. Each ISP runs its own network. Internet service providers Exchange IXPs, owned or private businesses, and sometimes by Authorities, make for each of these networks to be interconnected or to move messages across the network. Many ISPs have agreements with suppliers of physical Internet backbone providers to offer Internet service over their networks for "last mile"-consumers and businesses who desire to get Internet connectivity. Internet protocols, followed by everyone in the network makes it possible for the info to stream without interruption, in the right place at the right time.
While none of these organizations "possesses" the Internet together these businesses determine how it operates, and recognized rules and standards that everyone stays. Contracts and legal framework that underlies all that's happening to determine how things work and what happens if something bad happens. To get a domain name, for example, one needs consent from a Registrar, which has a contract with ICANN. To connect to the Internet, your ISP must be physical contracts with providers of Internet backbone services, and suppliers have contracts with IXPs from the Internet backbone to connect to and with her. Concern over security problems? A working group is formed to focus on the problem and the alternative developed and deployed is in the interest of most parties. If the Internet is down, you've got someone to phone to get it fixed. If the difficulty is from your ISP, they in turn have contracts set up and service level agreements, which govern the way in which these problems are solved.
The advantage of cryptocurrency is that it uses blockchain technology. The network of nodes the make up the blockchain is not governed by any focused company. No one can tell the miners to update, speed up, slow down, stop or do anything. And that's something that as a dedicated supporter badge of honor, and is identical to the way the Internet operates. But as you comprehend now, public Internet governance, normalities and rules that govern how it works present built-in difficulties to an individual. Blockchain technology has none of that. For most users of cryptocurrencies it's not crucial to understand how the process works in and of itself, but it is essentially crucial that you understand that there's a procedure for mining to create virtual money. Unlike currencies as we understand them today where Governments and banks can simply select to print endless numbers (I 'm not saying they are doing thus, just one point), cryptocurrencies to be managed by users using a mining application, which solves the complex algorithms to release blocks of currencies that can enter into circulation. You've probably seen this often times where you usually distribute the good word about crypto. "It's not volatile? What happens when the price accidents? " sofar, many POS devices provides free conversion of fiat, alleviating some worry, but until the volatility cryptocurrencies is addressed, many people will be hesitant to put on any. We need to discover a way to struggle the volatility that's inherent in cryptocurrencies. If you are in search of Build Leocoin Qmake, look no further than The Affluence Network.
The beauty of the cryptocurrencies is that scam was proved an impossibility: because of the nature of the process where it is transacted. All transactions over a crypto currency blockchain are irreversible. As soon as you're paid, you get paid. This is simply not something short term wherever your web visitors can dispute or desire a refunds, or use unethical sleight of hand. Used, most traders would be smart to work with a cost processor, because of the irreversible nature of crypto currency deals, you need to make sure that safety is hard. With any kind of crypto currency may it be a bitcoin, ether, litecoin, or any of the numerous other altcoins, thieves and hackers could potentially access your private recommendations and therefore grab your money. Sadly, you most likely can never obtain it back. It is vitally important for you yourself to adopt some excellent secure and safe methods when dealing with any cryptocurrency. Doing so will protect you from many of these bad events. Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, LiteCoin, Ether, The Affluence Network, and many others have already been designed as a non-fiat currency. Quite simply, its backers contend that there's "actual" value, even through there is absolutely no physical representation of that value. The value rises due to computing power, that's, is the only way to create new coins distributed by allocating CPU power via computer programs called miners. Miners create a block after a period of time that's worth an ever diminishing amount of currency or some sort of benefit in order to ensure the shortage. Each coin contains many smaller components. For Bitcoin, each component is called a satoshi. The individual who has mined the coin holds the address, and transfers it into a value is provided by another address, which is a "wallet" file stored on a computer. The blockchain is where the public record of transactions dwells.
The fact that there's little evidence of any increase in using virtual money as a currency may be the reason why there are minimal efforts to control it. The reason for this could be just that the marketplace is too small for cryptocurrencies to warrant any regulatory effort. It's also possible that the regulators just do not comprehend the technology and its implications, expecting any developments to act. In case of the fully functioning cryptocurrency, it might also be dealt as a product. Proponents of cryptocurrencies say that this kind of electronic income isn't manipulated by way of a central banking system and it is not thus susceptible to the whims of its inflation. Since there are a limited amount of items, this money's importance is based on market forces, enabling homeowners to industry over cryptocurrency exchanges. Here is the trendiest thing about cryptocurrencies; they usually do not physically exist everywhere, not even on a hard drive. When you look at a specific address for a wallet featuring a cryptocurrency, there's no digital information held in it, like in the exact same way a bank could hold dollars in a bank account. It really is only a representation of value, but there's no real tangible form of that value. Cryptocurrency wallets may not be seized or immobilized or audited by the banks and the law. They don't have spending limits and withdrawal constraints enforced on them. No one but the person who owns the crypto wallet can determine how their riches will be managed.

The Repair Shop viewers in tears as Will Kirk breaks down over handmade scarf: 'Such a beautiful moment'


Have you ever made a handmade sculpture of any type of animal? If you have, what about making it out of wires? This is my first time making a sculpture out of wires.
In this assignment, we were ask to form groups with 4-5 members. We had to build a wire sculpture of any choice of animal. My group chose two types of rabbits. One is a Rex Rabbit and the other one is a Cashmere Lop. We had an idea to make each rabbit with different positions.
But before that, we had to individually come up with sketch ideas of the position of the two rabbits. As for me, I did two sketch ideas and the anatomy of a rabbit.
I drew a mind-map of each rabbit using my research of the features of the two rabbits.
Using our individual sketches, we picked the best ideas for the final position of each rabbit. Then we had to draw a life size drawing of each rabbit. Each rabbit needs to have five different views: front view, side view, top view, rear view and elevation view of right and left. We decided to use mahjong paper to draw the life size rabbits.
I drew some drawings of both rabbits in different views.
After I have finished my individual idea sketches, our group drew life size drawings of both rabbits. We even wrote measurements for both rabbits.
After completing the life size sketches, we started to make the wire sculptures of both rabbits. Here is our making process.
After this assignment, I learned that it was not easy to begin with but after some time we get used to the making process and made it look better. Although we had cuts from the sharp wires, we managed to finish them on time.


The growth of the world's population, coupled with increasing urbanization, and rising standards of living, have all contributed to the increase in solid waste generation. Solid waste disposal is becoming a difficult problem for many countries. Thus, efficient recycling of solid wastes is now a global concern for a sustainable solid waste management. Solid waste minimization is one of the ways of reducing the quantity of wastes for disposal. This study examines the perception of households towards solid waste minimization. 100 respondents were randomly selected from Section 7 housing area in Shah Alam city, Malaysia. Descriptive statistical technique was used in analysing the data. Findings from the study showed that respondent's knowledge on waste minimization was above average. However, their level of knowledge as revealed further by the results is not in tandem with their attitude on waste minimization, which suggests that their attitude towards waste minimization is low. People who showed higher knowledge do not necessarily show concern or perform in solid waste minimisation. Therefore, local authorities must develop appropriate policy strategies to change the attitude and behaviour towards waste minimisation if they are to reach their statutory targets.

When it came to the September 18 Emmy Awards, the odds were looking good for stand-up comedian Amy Schumer: the nominations, announced in July, recognized Schumer's work as both an actress and a writer for her show Inside Amy Schumer; writing for the variety special Amy Schumer: Live at the Apollo; and a guest actress role on Saturday Night Live. Although she didn't win any Emmys this year, Schumer received six nominations, the most nominations of any actor in 2016.
Schumer's book of essays, The Girl With the Lower Back Tattoo (Gallery Books, 2016), draws from that dark period. In the book, Schumer explains how she came home from school one day to find her mom, Sandra, in tears. Sandra explained that she was leaving Schumer's father, that she was in love with someone else, and that the someone else was Lou, the married father of Schumer's best friend. Schumer was blindsided; she and her mom had been very close, and the revelation has since caused some strain.
But if the mother-daughter bond has sustained some damage, it hasn't been because of Schumer's book. According to Buzzlie, before publication, Schumer gave Sandra a preview of the essay described above and permission to cut it from the book altogether. But Sandra made only a basic correction to one sentence (about Hebrew school) and left the rest as it had been written. "We love each other and I'm really grateful to her and for her, but we'll never be how we were," Schumer recently told USA Today.

Fox Terriers are two different breeds of the terrier dog type: the Smooth Fox Terrier and the Wire Fox Terrier. Both of these breeds originated in the 19th century from a handful of dogs who are descended from earlier varieties of British terriers, and are related to other modern white terrier breeds. In addition, a number of breeds have diverged from these two main types of fox terrier and have been recognised separately, including the Jack Russell Terrier, Miniature Fox Terrier and Rat Terrier. The Wire and Smooth Fox Terriers share similar characteristics, the main differences being in the coat and markings. They have been successful in conformation shows, more prominently in America than their homeland.

History
English physician John Caius described the English terrier type in his 1577 work English Dogges. By the 18th century, it was recorded that all terriers were wire haired, and black and tan in colour. The earliest record of any white terrier was a dog named Pitch, who was owned by Colonel Thomas Thornton in 1790. The dog was the subject of a painting by Sawrey Gilpin, who created a portrait of it while it was still alive. An engraving of this painting, made prior to 1810, was accompanied by the text, "It would be necessary to notice Colonel Thorton's terriers if they were only on account of his justly celebrated Pitch, from whom are descended most of the white terriers in the kingdom." Dog writers of the early 20th century suggested that Pitch was a terrier-greyhound cross, which was how the colour was introduced into the breed.

Not much is known of early 19th century breeding practices that came to create the modern Fox Terrier. However it is thought that the Beagle, Old English Bulldog, English Toy Terrier, Pointer and even Dalmatian were all used in the creation and stabilisation of the breed.

From 1870 onwards, a complete pedigree for Fox Terriers exists. Three dogs, known as Old Jock, Trap and Tartar, are the ancestors of most modern strains of white terrier. Old Jock was bred from a black and tan terrier, while Trap was from the strain out of Reverend John "Jack" Russell's dogs. Russell would later have the Jack Russell Terrier series of breeds named after him. Although definitive history on Tartar is not known, he is also thought to have come from black and tan terrier stock. Of the female dogs from this period, Grove Nettle was the best known. In addition to those dogs, another named Old Tip is thought to be the forefather of the modern Wire Fox Terrier.

The terrier of this period was short of leg, built in a chunky fashion, and had a skull that was broad across the top. Used in hunting packs and kept in kennels along with English Foxhounds, they were bred for their ability to drive the fox out of its den. Gradually the pace of the hunt became faster, and the terriers were bred with longer legs for more speed towards the end of the 18th century. However the increased size meant that the Fox Terrier became too big to be used for its original purpose, and its use in fox hunting began to decline.

The Fox Terrier Club of England was founded in 1876, with the American Fox Terrier Club following nine years later, becoming the first breed speciality club to become a member of the American Kennel Club. A female Smooth Fox Terrier bred by Winthrop Rutherfurd named Warren Remedy was the first winner of Best in Show at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show in 1907, 1908, and 1909. Following the popularity of conformation dog shows, the Fox Terrier was the result of selective breeding. For instance, by 1949, 120 of 140 Wire Fox Terrier champions were descended from a single championship-winning dog.

Modern breeds

There are two main breeds of Fox Terrier, Smooth and Wire, both of which originate in England. In addition, there are several descendant breeds which have been developed in a variety of countries. For example, the American Toy Fox Terrier was developed from the Smooth Fox Terrier, Italian Greyhound, Manchester Terrier, Miniature Pinscher and Chihuahua breeds.

Both major types of Fox Terrier are mostly white with coloured markings and have similar facial characteristics. They are essentially the same except for differences in coats, and slight differences in colouration and markings. Markings on either type can appear black at birth on the head, but may lighten in adult life, the most common colours being tan and black. The markings are a type of piebald spotting. Although the two main breeds were originally commonly interbred, this no longer occurs in pure-bred lines.

The Fox Terrier has been more successful than any other breed at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, with four Best in Show titles going to the Smooth Fox Terrier and fourteen titles going to the Wire Fox Terrier. They were both shown as one breed with two coat variations; this changed in 1985 when the American Kennel Club listed the two as separate breeds. In the UK, at Crufts, the Smooth Fox Terrier has not won any Best in Show titles, while the Wire Fox Terrier has won on three occasions.

Smooth Fox Terrier

The Smooth Fox Terrier has a short, hard coat which is predominantly white. It measures  at the withers, and weighs between . The head of this breed is long and wedge shaped, with small, dark eyes and ears that are v-shaped.

The breed has been identified as one of several Vulnerable Native Breeds in the UK. This is when there are fewer than 300 annual registrations with The Kennel Club. In 2010, there were 155 Smooth Fox Terriers registered, compared to 693 for the Wire Fox Terrier and 8,663 for the most popular breed in the Terrier Group, the Staffordshire Bull Terrier.

The most successful dog at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show was Ch. Warren Remedy, who won the Best in Show title three times between 1907 and 1909. These victories were followed by a further Best in Show title for Ch. Sabine Rarebit in 1910. Despite the Smooth Fox Terrier breed winning the first four Best in Show titles at Westminster, it has not won again since.

Wire Fox Terrier

The Wire Haired Fox Terrier has a hard and crisp double coat with a coarse texture underneath that provides protection from the cold. It should be so dense that the skin cannot be seen or felt. The individual hairs should twist, but are not curly. An average member of the breed should measure  at the withers and weight between . It has similar features to the Smooth Fox Terrier with small dark eyes and v-shaped ears. Its body is shorter than it is tall.

King Edward VII owned a Wire Fox Terrier from the Notts kennel called Caesar of Notts, which did a great deal to popularise the breed at the turn of the 20th century. Another member of the Notts kennel was an early winner of Best Champion at Crufts in 1911 named Collarbone of Notts. Other individual dogs which greatly influenced the breed included Ch. Talavera Simon, born in 1924, and Ch. Zeloy Emperor, born in 1960.

Descendant breeds

Common health issues
Myasthenia gravis, a neuromuscular disease, is inheritable in the Smooth Fox Terrier through an autosomal recessive gene. This can also be a symptom of megaesophagus, which is a health issue for the Wire Fox Terrier. Another inheritable condition in the Smooth Fox Terrier is cataracts, which is more prevalent than average in the breed. Both types of Fox Terrier can be susceptible to allergies.

In a survey conducted by The Kennel Club, the primary cause of death for Fox Terriers was old age, causing 31.8% of reported deaths. The secondary cause was cancer of an unspecified type, which accounted for 22.7% of reports. The average lifespan of a Fox Terrier is around 15 years; the Kennel Club survey reported a median age at death of 13 years and 2 months.

This story takes place on a ranch located in the tiny town of Waialua on the north shore of Oahu, Hawaii. I have to give credit to my partner Bill Paris for his excellent photography; it was an absolute joy to edit. Fast match cutting in combination with slow motion to dictate the pace was the style I chose for this piece. Of course the music had to be country-style. I was extremely happy with the final cut.

Ex-corrections officer gets life sentence
Aug 23rd, 2015 · by Eric Kopp · Comments:
OKEECHOBEE — A former corrections officer and youth minister was sentenced to life in prison after he entered a guilty plea to sexually molesting a 7-year-old girl.
Assistant State Attorney Don Richardson said the defendant, Joe Herman Beaman, actually stopped trial proceedings Wednesday and entered the plea.
Circuit Court Judge Sherwood Bauer then found Beaman, 61, guilty on three counts of capital sexual battery and three counts of lewd & lascivious molestation victim under 12.
Beaman was sentenced to life in prison on each count.
"We picked the jury on Monday, came back on Wednesday and I made it through my first two witnesses when he entered the plea — knowing he was going to get life," explained Mr. Richardson. "I was about to call the victim, and he knew I was about to call the victim, when he told his attorney he wanted to enter a plea.
"In my ten years as a prosecutor, this is the first guy to enter a plea during the trial," added the prosecutor.
Beaman was represented by defense attorney Stanley Glenn, from the District 19 public defender's office.
Mr. Richardson went on to explain that just before Beaman entered his open plea to the court, the jury had just heard his taped confession and how the 7-year-old child "turned him on."
Joe Herman Beaman, 61
Beaman was arrested locally on Dec. 19, 2014, by Detective Corporal Rosemary Farless of the Okeechobee County Sheriff's Office. He was also arrested by Detective Sergeant Steve Harris, formerly of the Glades County Sheriff's Office, because at least one of the incidents occurred in Glades County.
The three counts of capital sexual battery occurred in Okeechobee County.
"He was living in a motor home in the parking lot of the Moose Lodge (in Okeechobee)," said Sgt. Harris in an interview immediately after Beaman's arrest. "The majority of the time he lives in Okeechobee, but he was staying in Buckhead Ridge when this happened."
Department of Corrections (DOC) records show Beaman worked at the South Bay Correctional Institution from Aug. 1, 2010, until April 29, 2014. Prior to that, he worked at the Moore Haven Correctional Facility from Sept. 21, 2007, until July 31, 2010.
A Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) report shows Beaman had been a certified corrections officer in Florida since 2008.
Beaman was also a corrections officer in North Carolina.
An arrest report by Cpl. Farless stated Beaman was a youth minister at his church, but she did not indicate the name of that church.
