#1 Guided Cradle of Human Kind and Sterkfontein Caves Tours!!!
I did a trip the Sterkfontein caves and Morapeng trip with Victor and the Pretoria half day tour. He is an entertaining and informed tour guide. He also went the extra mile to get me to the bird park on time after my tour.
I booked a tour to Sterkfontein + Maropeng and Lesedi via the Live Chat through Wayne and was impressed by how efficient it was, considering I only did so 1 day before the tour.
Our tour itself was good, guides were friendly and professional, and we especially enjoyed the conversation we had with Arnold. It made the journey back from Lesedi to Melrose Arch a very pleasant one.
However one area of improvement would be to have greater clarity in communications between the office and the guides on the ground. Our guides were not aware that we were visiting Maropeng Visitor's Centre and we nearly had to miss it. They were also not sure if we have already made payment for our tour. Although it was a minor issue, it would be good if this was communicated to the guides beforehand.
We have had a great trip to the cradle of humankind.
They offer good prices and staff are friendly. We highly recommend the MoAfrika tours to others.
My husband and I just returned from our South African vacation. We decided to spend a few days in Johannesburg before going to Cape Town, which was our main objective for this trip. We contacted MoAfrika online and booked this tour. Wayne was extremely helpful and got back to us very promptly. MoAfrika organized pick up from our hotel and our driver was really friendly. We went to Sterkfontein Caves then to the Cradle of Humankind. The guide for our caves tour was so knowledgeable and the Cradle of Humankind was extremely informative. We had the time we needed at each site. I would highly recommend MoAfrika and this tour!
We had more than half a day in Johannesburg and my husband and I chose to do the Sterkfontein Cave and Cradle of Humankind museum visit. You actually need a day to do this tour really well.We were picked up by our driver Kobus who was really wonderful and friendly. I was reluctant to go into the cave but he encouraged me and actually came along with us (paid his own entrance fee)!
I am glad I did do the cave tour because it was not as bad as I thought it would be, so thanks Kobus.
We were also treated to a quick tour of Johannesburg City on our way back at no extra cost so that was a bonus.
MoAfrica Tours – highly recommended and ask for Kobus if you need a friendly driver/tour guide.
Cradle of Humankind and Sterkfontein Caves were very interesting, especially since we were there only TWO DAYS before big announcement about Homo Naledi was made.
Lion Park also fun and interesting.

Voters to decide fate of 5 Kansas Supreme Court justices
Former governors unite to urge Kansans to keep court as is

KMBC 9 News Reporter
WEBVTT MICHEAL MAHONEY HAS A CLOSER LOOK. REPORTER: SOME CONSERVATIVES THINK THE KANSAS SUPREME COURT IS TOO ACTIVIST. THEY WANT VOTERS TO REJECT 4 OF THE 5 JUSTICES UP FOR RETENTION. OTHERS, HOWEVER, ARE PUSHING BACK. >> IF WE FIRE OUR SUPREME COURT JUSTICES, BROWNBACK CAN APPOINT UP TO 5 OF THE 7 JUSTICES. REPORTER: IT'S NOT THAT SIMPLE. A SPECIAL NOMINATING COMMISSION MADE UP OF NINE PEOPLE, SOME LAWYERS AND SOME NOT, OFFER THREE NOMINEES TO THE GOVERNOR. THE GOVENOR CAN APPOINT ONE OF THE THREE OR REJECT THE PANEL. IF THAT HAPPENS, THEN THE CHIEF JUSTICE OF THE SUPREME COURT COULD SELECT ONE OF THE NOMINEES. >> FOUR FORMER GOVERNORS AND LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICALS ALL KANSAS SUPPORT THIS COURT. REPORTER: THAT A REFERNCE TO THIS GROUP, FORMER REPUBLICAN GOVENORS MIKE HAYDEN AND BILL GRAVES, PLUS FORMER DEMOCRATIC GOVENORS JOHN CARLIN AND KATJHLEEN SEBLIUS WHO HAVE BEEN APPEARING AROUD THE STATE AND CAMPAIGNING THIS FALL TO URGE KANSAS VOTERS TO RETAIN THE JUSTICES. >> VOTE YES. FIVE TIMES. REPORTER: THAT IS ACCURATE. FIVE SEPARATE VOTES ON RETENTION OF THE 5 KANSAS SUPREME COURT JUSTICES.
Perhaps the biggest issue on the Kansas ballot that doesn't involve a candidate is the question of whether five Kansas Supreme Court justices should be retained. Some conservatives think the court is too activist and are calling for voters to reject four of the five justices up for retention. "We like a court that are strict constructionists, at the federal level and at the state level," said Mary Kay Culp, of Kansans for Life. Other people are pushing back. "If we fire our Supreme Court justices, (Gov. Sam) Brownback can appoint up to five of the seven justices," said an ad for people favoring retention. It's not that simple. A special nominating commission made of nine people, some lawyers and some not, offers three nominees to the governor. The governor can appoint one of those three or reject the panel. If that happens, the Chief Justice can select one of the nominees. Chief Justice Lawton Nuss and Justice Marla Luckert were appointed by Republican Bill Graves. Justices Carol Beier and Daniel Biles were appointed by Democrat Kathleen Sebelius. Justice Caleb Stegall is a Brownback appointee. Conservative lawmakers believe the courts are controlling Kansas education spending. They're also critical of the court's ruling that prompted a re-sentencing for two Wichita men convicted of a set of brutal murders. Backers of the retention campaign said four former governors, Republicans Mike Hayden and Graves and Democrats John Carlin and Sebelius, favor keeping the court as it is. They have been appearing around the state to urge Kansas voters to retain the justices. We believe this court has done a god job," said Joyce Morrison, of Kansans for Fair Courts. "These are stellar justices who are doing their job of upholding the law and being fair and impartial." Voters will cast five votes on the issue, a yes or no vote on each of the justices up for retention. The Supreme Court retention questions are deep into the Kansas ballot. Kansas judges are up for retention votes in the first general election after their appointments. They serve six-year terms before another retention vote. Recent polls have shown a slim majority of Kansans are satisfied with the cours.

US bill on Taiwan allies revived
REINTRODUCED::According to the legislation, the US government should help Taiwan gain participation in international organizations, either as a member or as an observer
Staff writer, with CNA, Washington
Sun, May 26, 2019 - Page 3
Four US senators on Thursday reintroduced a draft bill to ensure that Taiwan is recognized internationally, as China increases efforts to limit Taipei's participation on the global scene and poach its diplomatic allies.
US senators Cory Gardner, Marco Rubio, John Cornyn and Chris Coons renewed efforts to pass the Taiwan Allies International Protection and Enhancement Initiative Act, or the TAIPEI Act, which would require the US government to engage with governments worldwide in a bid to support Taiwan's diplomatic recognition and strengthen unofficial ties with Taiwan.
The bill, first introduced in September last year, says that 90 days after its enactment and every 180 days thereafter the "secretary of state or a designee of the secretary shall submit to the appropriate congressional committees a report on actions taken by the US to reaffirm and strengthen Taiwan's international alliances around the world."
The number of Taiwan's diplomatic allies has fallen to 17 since President Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) took office and China lured the Gambia, Sao Tome and Principe, Panama, the Dominican Republic, Burkina Faso and El Salvador away, the bill says, adding that it would authorize the US Department of State to downgrade ties with any government that take actions unfavorable to Taiwan, as well as suspending or adjusting foreign assistance to such governments.
According to the draft, the US government should help Taiwan gain participation in international organizations, either as a member or an observer, and express its support for Taiwan's participation on the global stage when interacting with Beijing.
The TAIPEI Act continues Washington's commitment to Taiwan's security by conducting "regular transfers of defense articles to Taiwan that are tailored to meet the existing and likely future threat" from China.
It also mentions the Taiwan Travel Act, which was signed into law by US President Donald Trump on March 16 last year to encourage mutual visits between Taiwanese and US officials.
"The US should use every tool to support Taiwan's standing on the international stage," Gardner said in a statement issued by the senators who sponsored the bill.
"This bipartisan legislation demands a whole-of-government approach to stand up to China's bullying tactics and will send a strong message to nations that there will be consequences for supporting Chinese actions that undermine Taiwan," he said.
Rubio said in the statement that he was proud to join his colleagues in reintroducing the legislation that reaffirmed the US' commitment to its relationship with Taiwan and would allow the department to take diplomatic action against governments that alter diplomatic relations with Taiwan in favor of China.
"China's efforts to isolate Taiwan by bullying and pressuring countries, especially in our own hemisphere, cannot go unanswered," Rubio said.
There was strong, bipartisan support for Taiwan's free-market democracy and its diplomatic relationships around the world, Coons said, adding that the bill confirmed that.
"Taiwan is a success story in its region, and both now and in the future, the US must continue to emphasize the strength of US-Taiwan ties and maintain the status quo regarding Taiwan's place in the international community," Coons said.

I GOT A PUPPY! I have no clue what I was thinking…scratch that, I wasn't. Would you if you saw the adorable face below? You would snuggle her and love her forever and always and then give your readers some cash because you are on a cloud of puppy love and breath.
Ok, so it did not go down exactly like that. I was browsing my newsfeed on the Facebook and saw a friend post that her parents had 3 chocolate lab puppies ready for their forever homes. I swear I was NOT looking for a new dog. I am still very much in mourning over my sweet Mia girl and was sure that I was not ready for a new dog. Those little puppy faces though stole my heart and so I started asking a few questions about the dogs.
I asked the husband if we could go look at the puppies and maybe consider getting a pup to add to our family. The man was 4 days post-op from his tonsillectomy and actually agreed. So we headed just a few miles up the road from our home to a little farm to take a peek at the chocolate lab puppies.
Yes, I said chocolate lab. You can see in the photos that our little girl is not completely chocolate in her coat. She has some yellow markings on her face, chest and feet and although she is purebred and comes from papered parents (pictured above) she is a mosaic and has yellow lab markings. Her markings are similar to those of a calico cat and are caused from the chocolate color genes being turned off during embryological development and the yellow color being turned on. The owners of the parent dogs said that there were 9 puppies in the litter. Four pups were chocolate, three were yellow and two had the mixed markings like our girl. I did some google sleuthing and found that although it is very rare, mosaic labs are a thing and the only issue with her differences is that we could not show her and papering her might be a process. I do not show dogs, so for me it doesn't matter.
After looking at the pups, I knew that the little girl was coming home with us. She was feisty, but sweet. She was the only one that was really interacting with us and my heart was just pulled to her. She has SO many similarities to my Mia. The speckled feet, her affinity to destroy tennis balls, the playful but loving demeanor and her birthday. She was born just a couple days before our Mia crossed that rainbow bridge. We named her Brindle and we are in the throws of house training. Some days are great, others are meh, but overall she is a great addition to our household.
As promised, I am feeling like sharing and spoiling a lucky reader! I am offering up $25.00 in either Paypal cash, a Target gift card or Walmart gift card just for entering the Rafflecopter below! ENTER NOW!

One of Time Magazine's "5 Bands to Watch For in 2011"
Noughts and Exes are an indie folk pop band based in Hong Kong. With an international line-up of musicians, a mish-mash of inspiration and creative instrumentation, the band has become one of the most unique sounds in the city, earning a strong reputation and cult following.
In the short span of time since the band reformed in mid-2009 with a fresh sound, Noughts and Exes have consistently impressed with their live shows which includes high-profile slots playing alongside internationally acclaimed acts Handsome Furs, Wax Tailor, The Teenagers and CocoRosie.
The band's first album "Act One, Scene One" (2007) was a truly independent affair, a move that was to become a trademark. Everything from the album art to the merchandise to the music video for 'A Minor To Major' – which received MTV airplay in the US and Canada and directed by frontman Joshua Wong – was conceptualized and created by band members. This DIY approach continues to permeate all that the band undertakes.
In November 2010, the band independently released their second album, 'The Start Of Us'. Produced by the band and Dutch producer, Martijn Groeneveld of "Mailmen Studios", the album was recorded in Hong Kong and mixed in the Netherlands. It sees Noughts and Exes come into its own with a more mature and intricate sound refined on stages across Asia. 'The Start Of Us' features the band's complex combination of harmonies, keyboards, melodicas, glockenspiels, whistles and cello, as well as the catchy and distinct vocal melodies which have carried the songs into the hearts of their listeners.
'The Start Of Us' was met with great critical acclaim, securing a slot in Time Out Magazine's '2010 Records of the Year' and an exciting selection by Time Magazine as one of the '5 New Bands To Watch For in 2011'.
Art, music, visuals and performance are all integral to the Noughts and Exes vision, and the band aims to bring that vision to the world stage in a way never before seen by a Hong Kong band. The band is working on new videos and also a unique project which aims to explore the story-telling aspect of their music in a compelling way.
Debut music video for title track 'The Start Of Us' online now. Second video coming soon.
Check out www.noughtsandexes.com for the latest!
Noughts & Exes are: Joshua Wong, Gideon So, Kerrie-Anne Butler, Winnie Lau and Alex Bedwell.

MORJIM/PANJIM: The State Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) on Thursday shut down three restaurants run by Russians at Morjim beach.
The restaurants sealed by the FDA during the raid were Bora Bora, Soma Project and Fish.
Under the Food Safety Act, the FDA has cancelled the licence of a famous joint Marabela Beach Club at Morjim.
The restaurants were operating without licences as mandated under Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) Act 2006 and have been directed not to carry out any food-related activity, until all the necessary approvals are obtained.
Soma Project Living Room Resort, Morjim was directed not to carry out any food related activity until all the approvals are obtained. Bora Bora Lounge Restaurant and Night Bar at Morjim run by a company with five directors among which four are Russians and a local, Girish Naik was directed to close down. Another restaurant - Fish was shut down for operating without licence mandatory under the FSSAI Act 2006. Both Bora Bora and Fish have been issued notices under Section 31 of FSSAI Act 2006.
Earlier, Health Minister, Vishwajit Rane had warned of crackdown on non-licenced businesses being run by foreigners in Goa.
He had alleged that non-licenced business establishments were run by foreigners and used as "narcotic havens".
Vishwajit Rane informed Herald that these three premises have been shut and the police have been directed to maintain a vigil.
"Besides these three premises earlier on Tuesday we have also cancelled the FDA licence under the Food Safety Act to Marabela Club at Morjim. It was found to be operating in absolutely substandard conditions. The food being served was unfit for human consumption. We have taken the decision in public interest and this licence stands cancelled and neither will be it reviewed again," he said.
"We are carrying out a crackdown on non-licenced businesses especially those run by foreigners. We will make sure that all of these are shut," he added.
The entire raid was conducted along with policemen from Pernem Police Station.

Three transgender thieves arrested by police for stealing from tourists in South Pattaya
Wednesday, 12 June 2019, 15:16
Pattaya-
The Pattaya News was present this afternoon, June 12th, 2019, when city police, along with tourist police, led by Pol.Lt. Gen. Phongphan Wongmanet, arrested three transgender Thai nationals wanted for theft at their apartment in South Pattaya.
On June 6th, 2019, as we reported on our social media feeds, two tourists, one from India and one from the United Arab Emirates, called the police near Walking Street in South Pattaya to report that they had an expensive gold necklace taken from them and some cash by a group of transgender, or ladyboys at 3:30 AM while they were walking back to their hotel.
The two tourists, who were not intoxicated, told the police that the ladyboys attempted to offer sexual services to them and groped them but they were not interested. A small argument ensued and the ladyboys ended up stealing a gold necklace worth 30,000 baht (previously stated as 18,000 baht) and a small amount of cash.
The police reviewed CCTV, below, and began the process of tracking down the three suspects.
Today, they successfully located the three transgender suspects and named them as follows:
Mr. Wichai or Rose, Phra Song Song, 24 years old, Mr. Winai or Wanawin, Age 32, and Darun or Benz Sukom, 34 years old, all of whom are accused by the Pattaya Provincial Court of Burglary at night and attempting to escape arrest.
Lt. General Wongmanet stated to the Pattaya news today that all three individuals have a previous arrest record history for theft and drug usage as well as previous time in jail.
The suspects have confessed to the crime, however, said that they already sold the necklace and spent all the money. They showed no remorse for the crime, according to city police officials.
All three will be facing a return to jail for the crime.

A 64-year-old man has died after his helicopter crashed in a field in Lefebvre, Que. Tuesday afternoon, police say.
The fatal crash of the aircraft happened around 12:40 p.m. in the municipality, near Drummondville, in the Centre-du-Quebec region, about 110 kilometres east of Montreal, Noovo Info reported.
The man was taken to hospital where he was pronounced dead.
The Transportation Safety Board (TSB) confirmed it has deployed a team of investigators to investigate the crash of the "amateur-built" helicopter.
"The TSB will gather information and assess the occurrence," the transportation safety agency said in a news release.
"According to preliminary information, the private aircraft was in flight for a short time when it began to lose altitude rapidly and went down. The pilot was alone on board and was unconscious when first responders arrived," said Sûreté du Québec spokesperson Audrey-Anne Bilodeau.
The Quebec coroner is also conducting an investigation.

As opposed to extraction in a place like ANWR, which can be done without effect on the surface environment.

Software-defined network enables efficient network configuration in order to improve network performance and monitoring capabilities.
To illustrate the scope of their solution, the Akiri team maintains that their trust network offers something for all of the key participants in the modern healthcare ecosystem: patients will have greater peace of mind knowing their healthcare data is transmitted securely through a network of trusted partners; physicians will achieve greater access to secure, trusted healthcare data; providers will benefit from a greatly simplified and streamlined IT infrastructure; payers will enjoy reduced IT development costs; pharmaceutical companies will find it easier to comply with regulatory controls; and developers will have the opportunity to leverage Akiri's open development platform to build transformative healthcare solutions.
Akiri Switch is available by invitation as a subscriber-based service. Akiri Switch's first subscriber is the AMA, the largest physician association in the U.S. with over 200,000 members. CEO of the AMA Dr. James L. Madera maintains that the present data liquidity problem, which Akiri Switch aims to help resolve, has been "one of the biggest barriers to improving the patient-physician relationship." In addition to its first subscriber (the AMA), Akiri has also attracted its first partner-collaborator: Celgene, a leading biopharmaceutical company largely focused on cancer treatments.
The Akiri team includes talent previously from GE Healthcare, Stanford, Apple, Cisco, and other leading healthcare and IT organizations. CEO Adriaan Ligtenberg, PhD, also serves on the advisory board for Health2047. His career has encompassed IT, healthcare, and investment, often in conjunction, as he worked at Bell Labs, taught at Princeton University and founded several successful Silicon Valley startups. COO Daphne Li, MBA, is also the Business Acceleration Director at Health2047, and previously held prominent positions at Apple and ADP after receiving her MBA in Economics from Stanford. The six-person team also includes a former director of Stanford Health Care, a former President of Engineering at GE Healthcare, and a former Software Development Senior Director at the Cisco DNA Center.
On January 3rd, Akiri announced a $10 million Series A investment from Health2047, which in turn received its founding investment from the AMA. Formerly Health2047 SwitchCo, Akiri is "the first spin out of Health2047." Based in Silicon Valley, Health2047 describes itself as an "innovation enterprise." With the help of the AMA, Health2047's stated mission is to create systemic solutions to longstanding healthcare problems in order to bring about secure healthcare data liquidity; chronic care-focused healthcare models; "radical productivity" throughout the healthcare ecosystem; and value-based healthcare transactions.

Teichiku Entertainment Co., Ltd. The Dohatsu Day performance of Dohatsuten has ended successfully this year! The new song "1,000,000 times Yarrow" will also be unveiled for the first time!
Whom it may concern
Teichiku Entertainment Co., Ltd.
The Dohatsu Day performance of Dohatsuten has ended successfully this year! The new song "1,000,000 times Yarrow" will also be unveiled for the first time!
I don't know who said it, but October 20th is Dohatsu Day. For the past 10 years, Dohatsuten has performed a special one-man live every time. This year's venue is Uguisudani Dance Hall New Century. It will be the first time for them as well.
Red and gold drape curtains on the stage. Lights like the Milky Way on the ceiling. One side of the wall was covered with mirrors, so the sound echoed badly on the previous day's performance, but on this day, the rehearsal time was shortened and the sound was thoroughly improved. It starts with turning the giant disco ball on the floor after bringing it to perfect conditions.
"Welcome!" It's the line that Naozumi Masuko speaks at the opening, but the reason why the same line appeared four times before the end of the opening songs was that the "Guidelines for Preventing the Spread of New Coronavirus Infection" were revised a few days ago. That would be a big deal, too. Although it is conditional, it is OK to speak out, and about 40% of calls and responses are OK. The excitement of songs such as "Sake Fuel Bakushinkyoku" and "GREAT NUMBER" is tremendous. By the time the 4th song, "Jakajaan! Boom Boom! Don Doko! Yay!" Tomoyasu Uehara's guitar (Jakajah!), Taiji Shimizu's bass (Boom Boom!), Katsuhiko Sakazume's drums (Dondoko!), and Naozumi Masuko's vocals (Yeah!) Finished. We are doing the same thing. However, the fact that the range of their songs is unusually wide, and the fact that every time there is a song that hits your knees like, "Is there such a good song or such a strange song?! .
"Salvation Hill" (published in 1995), which combines Hawaiian and blues, "Time Rich Man" (published in 2020), which forcibly connects mustache dance and musicals, and the rock number "Mushikera Boom Boom," whose story begins with Kafka's novel ( 2005) are lined up without discomfort. We can enjoy our history like shuffling playlists, and we have nothing to hide. The confidence in his career is now an original that cannot be imitated. Except for the MC time, the play that continues quite stoically is also an attraction that I would like to mention again.
After making me cry with the 1999 masterpiece "Samurai Blue", I went to the latest song "1 million 1 times Yarrow". The chorus that sings "Gowasande negaimashiteha" is familiar to the Showa generation who learned the abacus at school, but it's not heard anymore. If you look closely at the floor, there are about 20% of the young people who seem to have no connection with the abacus. Still everyone sings and sings. Don't give up, don't get discouraged, and stand up again and again even if everything goes haywire. -Gowasande-, filled with such an attitude of angry hair, sounded like a fresh catchphrase for this era. The last song is the samba-like "Seva na Severana". Masuko in a red happi coat broke her face on the balcony of the substage. Just fun. However, there is a powerful message in the song – live properly, it's a promise -. I can't laugh unless I'm alive At the end, Masuko took the initiative to say, "Let me hear it!", and there was a scene where a small but sure voice of la la la resounded at a conversational level that followed the guidelines. "Thank you so much, it was worth the wait", "There are still many songs I want to sing with you", Masuko laughed with tears in her eyes, and the reliable hope of someone in her 50s was overflowing.

Report: Dog Dies at PetSmart, Company Tries to Buy His Family's Silence
Written by Michelle Kretzer | May 1, 2018
The Soto family wanted to have their little dog, Fabio, groomed—so they took him to the local PetSmart in Tampa, Florida. Just over an hour later, he was dead.
Family's Dog Dies While Being Groomed At Tampa PetSmart https://t.co/C5ZuPQbz2t pic.twitter.com/stG3cUVswn
— Patch Florida (@PatchFlorida) April 23, 2018
Marcos and Michelle Soto had never used PetSmart's grooming services before they took their family's beloved 6-year-old pup there last week for what they expected to be a routine bath and cut. Marcos said that "Fabio was healthy, [was] up to date on his shots and showed no signs of being ill." But as the family reported to Patch.com, shortly after they dropped him off, they got a call from PetSmart telling them that their dog was unresponsive and they needed to come back to the store immediately.
Michelle got there first, and when Marcos walked in, he saw his wife cradling the dog. "She was calling his name but he wasn't responding," he said. "His eyes were closed, his mouth was open and his tongue was hanging out."
PetSmart brought over the veterinarian from the on-site Banfield Pet Hospital, but Fabio went into cardiac arrest and the vet wasn't able to save him.
PetSmart and the family sent Fabio's body for a necropsy at the University of Miami, but when the company called the Sotos to discuss it, Marcos couldn't believe what he heard. "They said they had preliminary results of the necropsy that showed Fabio had a bad case of heart worm," he said. "Since then, they've been silent. They've completely stopped communication with me."
He says there is no way that Fabio could have had heartworms. The family relocated to the United States last fall after hurricanes Irma and Maria hit their home in the Virgin Islands. The dog had to get veterinary clearance to join his family. Since then, he had received a veterinary checkup and shots, and he was current on his heartworm preventive.
Police tape surrounds the PetSmart on Sawyer Brown Road in Nashville as authorities raid the store after PETA turned over the findings of our eyewitness investigation.
Marcos says that he has Fabio's vet records proving that the dog was healthy. He asked PetSmart for a copy of the necropsy results but hasn't received one. He also said that before the company stopped communicating with him, it offered to buy the family a new dog—but with a caveat: The Sotos would have to sign a nondisclosure agreement prohibiting them from discussing their experience with media outlets. Marcos said that he was considering signing it until he got the strange phone call from the company alleging that his dog had died of heartworms.
"My interest has never been to get any money out of PetSmart," he said. "No dollar amount can make up for the pain of losing a family member. We just want to know what happened and make sure it doesn't happen to another family. The hardest part is not having any clear answers."
As numerous PETA investigations have shown, at PetSmart, corporate greed takes precedence over animal welfare every time. Please, don't take your animals to be groomed there—and buy your animal companion's supplies elsewhere, too. Tell the company that you won't be a customer until it stops buying small animals from abusive dealers and holding them in deplorable conditions to make a quick buck.


Barton F. Graf and Supercell Oy came to us to help bring life and personality to the characters. The challenge was to make identical characters have unique personalities so you felt that it was an army of the individual soldiers though they looked like clones. To accomplish this, the characters required finesse and an understated performance.
To illustrate our unique creative process of exploring and developing character for narratives, we're sharing the process used for Boom Beach.
The humor of the situation played strongest. These soldiers had been battered time and time again because of questionable tactics and strategies that the gamers have used. Regardless of the hair-brained strategy, they are convinced that their commander is a genius and they are excited to jump back into the fray.
The HouseSpecial creative team was lead by CD/Director Kirk Kelley who is an expert in CG animation for short productions. He is the man behind the M&M'S animation and is also a gifted stop-motion director. His tactile approach enhances the tangible humanity integrated into memorable character's design with subtle humor.
In the initial pitch, we took original CG designs and made five characters tangible and real in our tactile world. We scuffed them up, added bandages, gave them weapons – made them look as if they were straight off the battlefield.
We think in tangibles and believe in a tactile-sensory approach, so taking this approach first is natural for us. Sculpting in clay also allows us to add subtle, purposeful imperfections that convey a true human-ness necessary to gauge an audience – be believable.
A clay sculpt of the "Rifleman" was modeled from the a character design created with creative at Barton F. Graf 9000 and Supercell.
When our digital modelers take the helm, they have something real to translate into a CG space. Riggers can also plot out how the characters should move before the modeler even begins.

Art Collectors Give Students Insight into Indian Photography
In the downstairs section Umesh and Sunanda Gaur's home, an impressive and eclectic collection of contemporary Indian photographs is meticulously hung on the walls of their private art gallery, Bindu Modern. For more than three months, students in Professor Deborah Hutton's Photography in India art history seminar researched the photographic artwork featured in the Gaurs' extensive art collection, which the Gaurs have been building for four decades. The collection is a journey that the couple fell into when Umesh Gaur bought a poster of an artwork to hang in his dorm room as a college student. Since then, the collection has grown to one of the most impressive private Indian painting and photography collections in the region.
When the Gaurs learned Hutton – currently the only Art History professor teaching in New Jersey who specializes in Indian art – would be teaching a class on the history of Indian photography, they quickly invited her class to visit a new photography exhibition they were getting ready to open in their home gallery.
It was an opportunity that Professor Hutton knew would expand her students' horizons and engage them much deeper in Indian art than textbooks and online photos ever could; she couldn't it pass up.
"Seeing art in person is always great," said Hutton. "Meeting collectors and seeing what draws them to art is even better."
Hutton first brought her students to visit the Gaurs' collection towards the beginning of the spring 2016 semester. During that visit, the Gaurs shared with the students their knowledge of the various photographs in the collection, and each of the students picked a piece to study independently over the course of the semester.
"It was the first time I'd gone to an actual art gallery," said Pratik Pathak '18, a biology major. "It's a completely different experience seeing the actual picture printed out versus seeing it in a catalog."
Some photographs in the exhibit are visceral and inspiring, captivating viewers with stunning aesthetics. Others are overtly political, challenging norms and expectations while engaging the viewer in a conversation where questions outnumber answers.
"I've never researched art before, so it was really interesting to see why [the artist] made the decisions he made and printed the photo the way he did, the size, etc." Pathak said.
After hours spent researching each of their photos, the students returned to the Gaurs' in May to present their findings on the history and meaning of the photographs. In turn, the Gaurs shared their knowledge of Indian photography, sprinkling in stories from the artists in the collection with whom they have built lasting relationships.
"It's been really insightful," said Madeline Walsh, '17, an art history major who plans to go to graduate school to study the repatriation of art. "They know the artist I selected personally, so that's a connection I wouldn't have been able to make anywhere else."
It's rare for students at this stage in their education to work so closely with art collectors, especially with the amount of access the students have been given to both the collection and the Gaurs themselves.
"To both think about why the Gaurs are interested in the work and to have all the historical context, it's really interesting and leads to a much richer understanding of the collection as a whole," said Rob Handerhan '16, a history major.
Hutton says she hopes this experience will leave her students with a broader and deeper view of the art world.
"For students to see people who have careers [outside the art industry] but art is still a really important part of their life is a good experience to show the role that art can play," said Hutton.

Q: AngularJs (client side) with ASP.NET MVC 5 (server side) I would like to  learn AngularJs. I'm familar with ASP.NET MVC. I'm going to write some web app and I want to use AngularJs in client side and ASP.NET MVC 5 in server side.
I project solution:

*

*Project Web - client side ( AngularJs)

*Core (DAL, repositories, business layer) (C#)

*Test

Is is good architecture ? What do you think about it ?

A: I would use:

*

*ASP.NET MVC for url routing and page rendering (plus localization if you need it).

*Angular JS for client side development.

*ASP.NET WebApi for Ajax requests.

Business and Data Access Layers will be developed in external projects, of course in C#.
My personal tools for testing are NUnit, NSubstitute (mocking library), FluentAssertions and AutoFixture for text data generation.
Think also about using an IoC container and implement your project using dependency injection of components. I'm personally a fan of Autofac, but there are other options that you can consider.
I would also suggest you to give a look at NancyFx, a lightweight framework that can be used in place of MVC and WebApi. More information here: Benefits of using NancyFx?
To summarize the solution layout:

*

*One project will contain MVC and Web API controllers and angular script file

*Another project will contain the Business Layer (I prefer to call it Domain Layer)

*Another project will contain the Data Access Layer

*Each project will have a corresponding test project, following the xUnit conventions.

If you apply Inversion of Control, you can define all comunication interfaces in the domain layer and then make the UI layer and the Data Access Layer reference it.

Q: VIM move in Insert mode Why I ask:
I use to enter code for example if(condition){}, in following step:

*

*if(){
}

*move cursor back into () to complete condition

*move cursor into {} to add task

I have read Traversing text in Insert mode, and I add follow code into my $HOME/.vimrc
" key mapping
inoremap <A-h> <C-o>h
inoremap <A-j> <C-o>j
inoremap <A-k> <C-o>k
inoremap <A-l> <C-o>l

now I can use Alt+h and Alt+l, but the rest of two new map had no effect, then I test: Ctrl+oj and Ctrl+ok, both of them work.

*

*Is there any mistake when I do the key mapping?

*How to check if my new mapping is conflicted with other or not?

UPDATE: 2nd/Nov/2016

*

*I buy a new keyboard with cursor key...

*Install auto pair
However, I found one interesting thing, when I in Linux, there is ok for all above mapping just except Alt+h, because it conflicted with the ubuntu current open window help menu. I only meet my problem when I use ssh via MobaXerm application.

A:
I have read Traversing text in Insert mode, and I add follow code into
  my $HOME/.vimrc

You should carefully read the accepted answer for that answer, specially this part:

The right way is to press Esc, go where you want to do a
  small correction, fix it, go back and keep editing.  It is effective
  because Vim has much more movements than usual character
  forward/backward/up/down.  After you learn more of them, this will
  happen to be more productive.

The answer where you borrowed the mappings also mentions this:

Notwithstanding what Pavel Shved said - that it is probably more
  advisable to get used to Escaping Insert mode - here is an example set
  of mappings for quick navigation within Insert mode: (...)

Anyway, if you want to understand the problem with the Alt+j and Alt+k, you should first ensure that the mapping is still defined in Vim (they could have been erased or overwritten). You can use :imap to list them; try these:
:imap <A-j>
:imap <A-k>

If your mappings are correctly defined each one will list its target (e.g.: * <C-O>j). In this case you should check if Vim is receiving these combinations correctly; try inserting then in the text (insert mode) by using Ctrl+V (or Ctrl+Q if you mapped that to paste from clipboard) and the Alt combinations. You can get more details at the Vim FAQ "I am not able to create a mapping for the  key. What is wrong?".
Edit:

If your issue is mainly related with closing parenthesis, then there are several other options, which I believe that are more practical. I quick internet search returned the following:

*

*SO - Automatic closing brackets for Vim

*Vim wiki - Making Parenthesis And Brackets Handling Easier

*plugin - Auto Pairs

A: I also think that you misuse Vim.
I know that the question was about something else but here is my idea of how you should move around in vim.
You have 3 steps:
1. Insert some empty loop / condition
2. Insert a condition
3. Insert a body of the loop / condition
This should represent 3 changes, each separated by leaving the insert mode.
To do it properly you can perform step 1 and then leave insert mode by using either Esc or Ctrl+[ (with the second one- which is also vim default- you do not have to reach for escape key).
Then you should navigate to the place where you want to insert your change using h,j,k or l and follow it by starting insert mode.
There are several ways to start insert mode:
I - start insert mode at the beginning of the line (omitting whitespaces at the beginning)
i - start insert mode before the cursor
a - start insert mode after the cursor
A - start insert mode at the end of the line
s - change the sign under the cursor (can be combined with visual mode)
c - change text from under the cursor until place you have specified with the movement (e.g. ce - change until the end of the word, cl - the same as "s")
C - change everything from cursor until the end of the line
S - replace the whole line
o - start insert mode in the new line below
O - start insert mode in the new line above


I think you're a pretty cool person. I admire your feminism, your love of education, and your views on religion & science.
However, on the subject of sexual assault, I feel you've missed the mark. I think I get the point you were trying to make, and while I agree with some of your statements, like the fact that "we live in a society that has treated women as disposable playmates for far longer than Mr. Weinstein has been meeting ingénues in luxury hotel rooms," the overall theme that appearance has something to do with assault leaves a sour taste in an otherwise well- written piece.
Maybe that wasn't the theme you were intending, but it's what jumped out.
In my twenty three years, I have known too many women who have been victim to sexual assault. They come from various backgrounds, are of various ages & races, and in no case should their conventional beauty 'number' be a factor. See, when you ostracize 'pretty girls', it leaves a damaging notion that only those girls can be assaulted, and that girls must 'tone it down' in order to not be plucked out.
While it is true that thin, white, conventionally 'pretty' girls get picked first for the good acting roles- & that's incredibly problematic- it's also problematic to suggest that because you weren't seen as a '10', you lucked out in not becoming a victim.
It could be anyone reading your piece, watching your show. I've been catcalled while wearing what most would consider 'modest.' It doesn't matter what you wear, if you go to the gym everyday or get manicures or rock Adele-worthy eyeliner.
Anyone can fall prey to gross, power hungry men (& women) and what we should be focusing on is how to stop it, and somehow I don't think that solution includes changing who you are.

DEPOE BAY, Ore. —
A wave hit two recent immigrants from China as they visited the Oregon coast, sweeping them out into the ocean and killing them.

Here's how to protect RFID applications from hackers.
In October, I attended the inaugural meeting of RAIN RFID, an organization dedicated to promoting adoption of EPC ultrahigh-frequency RFID. Bill McBeath, chief research officer at ChainLink Research, reported that 60 percent of new RFID deployments are cloud-based. This is not surprising. Cloud computing is a natural fit for RFID applications, given their widely distributed nature and the massive amounts of data they collect.
But these applications are vulnerable to the well-known security risks of cloud computing—and more. That's because they are accessed by human users and RFID readers. A reader tracking goods on a retail shelf, for example, might autonomously connect to the cloud via the Internet to deliver its data.
Despite the ongoing reports of database hacking, there are effective, albeit not guaranteed, ways to secure data in the cloud (just Google "cloud security"). Companies developing cloud-based RFID applications must implement those countermeasures, and then take the following steps.
Secure the communication protocol between a reader and the cloud. Use a secure protocol like HTTPS and configure each reader with an access credential, similar to a password. That way, the cloud application can accept data only from an authorized reader. In addition, set each reader to authenticate the cloud—for example, by examining a digital certificate presented by the cloud application—so it doesn't send data to a "man-in-the-middle" attacker.
Protect the access credential. Unlike a password, a reader's credential must be stored in nonvolatile memory on the device for use each time it connects to the cloud. To prevent an attacker from breaking into the reader's network connection and stealing the credential, encrypt the credential. Examine every way a network connection could be made to or from the device, and make sure it is secured. In addition, ensure that only authorized personnel have physical access to the reader.
Give each reader a different access credential. This limits the damage if a reader is compromised. It also makes it easier to identify and isolate the compromised reader. Grant reader credentials limited abilities within the cloud application. If the reader's job is to send tag reads to the application, the reader's credential should allow only that operation, not other operations such as reading the data or generating reports, which may be needed by other system components connecting to the cloud. That way, if a reader credential is compromised, the attacker may be able to flood the system with bad data, but at least he or she will not be able to read any of the good data or do other harm.
Prepare a backup plan. If all these measures fail, you will need a workable procedure to change each reader's access credentials. Think about how that procedure will work before—not after—you deploy hundreds or thousands of readers!

Difference Between Xbox One and Xbox One X
Last Updated on: December 27, 2020 by Brad
If you're looking at purchasing a new gaming console, you might be wondering whether it's worth picking up the original — the Xbox One — or the enthusiast model — the Xbox One X. There are actually some major differences between the two consoles, so major that you're looking at around a $300 price difference between the two. That's a significant amount of money to shell out, and means that it's good to do your research and thoroughly understand the differences between the two products before buying.
Microsoft Xbox One X 1TB/2TB Console with Wireless Controller Check Price on Amazon
Microsoft Xbox One 500GB Console Check Price on Amazon
That's why we've constructed this guide — to create a resource that easily shows you the big differences between the Xbox One and the Xbox One X. We'll navigate through the pros and cons of both consoles, and then show you which one is the most value for money for you. Let's get started, shall we?
Coming in as our first console, we're looking at the prowess of the original Xbox One gaming console. The biggest difference that you'll find here is that the Xbox One isn't being manufactured anymore — the Xbox One S has actually replaced it entirely. It has has replaced the Xbox One in almost every store worldwide, except for maybe second-hand stores where consoles are repurposed and attempted to be sold as a refurbished or used model. Even online, you can only find the Xbox One as a used or refurb console.
Aside from not being able to purchase it anymore, one of the major differences between the Xbox One and the Xbox One X is design. The original is extremely bulky, and came with an external power supply, whereas the Xbox One X has an internal power supply along with a refreshed and slim design. As far as internals go, the Xbox One didn't have High Dynamic Range Video, which is something that was added into the One S, and of course, the One X now. The Xbox One X actually supports native 4K gaming, whereas the Xbox One doesn't have the hardware to support that.
The original Xbox One was fraught with problems, such as hard drive issues, and more commonly, disc drive problems, thus why the Xbox One S came as its successor. That said, the Xbox One X comes with many of those same improvements over the original Xbox One. Finally, the other major difference is that the original Xbox One had a Kinect port, whereas the Xbox One S got rid of that, and so, it definitely isn't in the Xbox One X.
Buy it now: Amazon
Now, the Xbox One X has some pretty significant differences with it, and the first is in design, as we already slightly touched on. The Xbox One X got a much more modern, and sleeker look. And now, heat is actually outputted through the back of the console, similar to the PlayStation 4 actually. That enables you to set things on top of the Xbox One X without ruining your system, such as controllers, charging stations, games, etc.
The hardware is much more impressive in the Xbox One X than the Xbox One. That is to, of course, accommodate the native 4K gaming found in this console. You get a custom Microsoft processor that's clocked at 2.3GHz with eight cores. The significant improvement here is the custom GPU, which comes in at 1.172GHz, 40 CUs, 6.0 TFLOPS; and a whopping 12GB of GDDR5 RAM. This actually enables the Xbox One X to play games in 4K resolution, as well as any media you might have. Suffice to say, the Xbox One X is a powerhouse that will be able to handle just about anything you throw at it.
That said, the Xbox One X does come at a much higher price point. It's actually going to cost you double what an Xbox One S would cost you. You're looking at a whole $500 for a 1TB version of this console. $200 – $250 is what you can expect to pay for a used or refurbished Xbox One as well. So as you can see, you have to be a pretty serious enthusiast to be willing to swallow a price like this; however, the performance, if you're a serious gamer, is well worth the money here.
As you can see, there are some pretty major differences between the original Xbox One and the Xbox One X. The difference is years of innovations and performance improvements through more efficient hardware. That said, the Xbox One X is naturally better than the Xbox One, and has to be in order to play games in 4K resolution at a native level.

Until today the widespread ramifications of the great success of his first gig as a live act at Berlin's Berghain have been paving the way for Broombeck's musical career and his inseparable baggage of drum machines and synths. They are rooted in his love and passion for the authentic and sincere brand of his music.
Ever since 2008, both as a dj and as a live act, Broombeck has been discharging this permanently techno power, the intensity of which is channelled into a controlled climax. With his gigs at innumerable clubs or famous festivals and with his internationally celebrated productions, Broombeck has made a name for himself. Whoever has seen Broombeck performing, live or as dj, will never forget that night. His releases on Herzblut, Elevate, Octopus Recordings or Terminal M not only figure inrecord sleeves or on playlists of global players, but also on the dancefloor of well-known clubs in New York, London, Barcelona and Belgrad.
Ever since the release of his track "The Clapper" in 2008, Broombeck has won a world-wide renown. In the same year, with his track "Mono Turn", for more than six weeks he topped the Beatport charts and ranked in the top five of the Beatport annual charts. Various releases on renowned compilations like "Timewarp Compilation" or "Headliners" go along with collaborations, productions and remixes for well-known artists such as Felix Kröcher, AKA AKA and Monika Kruse.
To give more creative space to his musical output, Broombeck created his own label "Yes We Can" in 2014, fusing with precision techno sounds radiating minimal music. The mix of drums, bass, fx sounds and synthesizer in his tracks resembles a harmoniously tuned machinery, in which each cog-wheel fits in its right place and imparts its pulsating power to this techno mechanism. Wherever he is or performs, in his studio or in public as a dj or as a live act, Broombeck lives and breathes techno.


"Africa's Most Lyrically Inclined Emcee" is one with great passion for making good music and redefining hip hop to the new world generation. With Influences from hip hop greatest rappers, he has been able to pave out a model of rap for himself and good music as his major interest. He drops this for his fans to cheer with and titles it "I Gat Doe".
watch out for his upcoming singles and promo ep.


Hello, CarbonWA friends: Read on to learn about a little-known bipartisan climate approach, upcoming events, and our response to a Dud of a Seattle Times article! But first, a huge thanks to the roughly 200 people who attended the climate lobby day last week, the dozens more who called their legislators to support it remotely, and special thanks to Audubon Washington, Climate Solutions, and many other groups who helped to put on the event.
While most of our energy has been focused on carbon pricing, we've also been spearheading an effort to raise awareness around biochar and carbon sequestration. Board Member Greg Rock, who is leading our biochar effort, worked with Legislators Shea (R) and Fitzgibbon (D) to introduce HJ 4014, a joint memorial in support of biochar. If you're a climate wonk — but don't know much about biochar — don't worry, you aren't alone. Very few people know about biochar, despite its being an at least 2,000-year-old practice for increasing the health of agricultural soils, with the added benefit of creating long-term carbon sequestration. Check out our recent blog to learn more about biochar's role in the fight against climate change and the bipartisan interest in biochar. You can also watch the recent work-session (video here and slides here) to learn more!
February 19th: On President's day we are holding an ACT NOW lobby day to help us finish the session STRONG. Join us one more time in Olympia to demand action on climate and carbon pricing NOW. The 19th is also the Youth Climate Lobby Day, so you can attend both events! Please sign up here so we can begin setting up meetings, arranging carpools, and developing the program for the day!
March 8th: Session ends. It's a short one — so be sure to keep up with our newsletters for the latest to stay in the loop!
Brier Dudley's imaginative take on carbon taxes makes for good reading, but if this were an Econ 101 paper, it'd receive an F for lousy analysis and cherry-picked data. He cites far left group "Food and Water Watch," but the United Nations finds that emissions would be roughly 15% higher than they are today if not for the carbon tax in B.C. The Economist magazine called B.C.'s carbon tax "a winner." National economists from Paul Krugman to Greg Mankiw and political leaders from Republican Senator Lindsey Graham to former President Obama, all support pricing carbon. It's really quite simple: You can't throw your garbage on the street for free, so big polluters shouldn't be allowed to spew harmful emissions into our atmosphere for free.
Just as we no longer debate climate science deniers, we shouldn't debate climate solution deniers either. Pricing carbon has been proven to cut pollution, spur clean energy, and reduce climate damage. Let's have a discussion about how the revenue from a carbon tax can best be put to use. But, future generations are counting on us, and pieces like Mr. Dudley's only seek to delay action and obscure facts. Enough!
He cherry picks a figure from 2013-2015, but if you look at the lifetime (2008-now) of B.C.'s carbon tax, the results are better. Actually, 2015 is the *only* year that gas consumption increased, and it still grew far slower than the rest of Canada. How convenient! This is like saying it doesn't rain in Washington because it didn't rain yesterday.
Counterfactuals matter. What if BC had no carbon tax? The Univ. of British Columbia suggests that demand for gasoline would be 7% higher than it is today.
Sources matter. Food and Water Watch's declaration that B.C.'s carbon tax is a failure is opposed by just about every reputable outlet you can find (like the World Bank, and Duke University and The Economist to start with).
Dudley calls for more regulations instead, which we might also support. But, remember the Times opposed I-732 (which would've addressed nearly all of Dudley's spending concerns), and I-937 (a clean energy regulation!), and have not supported the Low Carbon Fuel Standard (another regulation!). Dudley and the Times Ed Board need to outline something specific they support if they want to maintain their credibility on this issue.
Carbon tax passes out of committee!!
