All Dogs Unleashed legislation met with opposition and support
Deborah Bayliss
Shreveport Times
Supporters as well as those opposed to the proposed zoning legislation for a new dog training and boarding facility in rural Caddo Parish expressed their thoughts by calling in or having their letters read Monday during the Caddo Parish Commission's first meeting of the new year.
Residents who live near the proposed facility expressed concerns about the potential noise from the dogs barking, disturbing the serenity of the rural area, dogs getting out and posing a threat to children and animals, and increased traffic.
A petition from residents with about 60 or signatures opposing the facility was submitted to the commission.
Those speaking in support of the zoning request included a board member of the Humane Society of Northwest Louisiana. A member called speaking about the property owner's good character and saying the business should be allowed rather than losing it to Bossier or another area.
Troy Phillips owns an All Dogs Unleashed franchise, at 1240 Shreveport Barksdale Highway #102.
He called into the Commission meeting saying, "In regards to the high traffic that they are talking about, my business has very limited traffic coming in and out as in I pick up the dogs and drop the dogs off. I just want a fair chance at this," Phillips said.
Phillips added that neither his neighbors nor Caddo Parish Commissioner Ken Epperson, whose district the property is located, has spoken with him about his plans. Phillips said he would like for those with concerns to come out and see the property, commissioners included.
Phillips said he is addressing fencing and other requirements and that he's going above and beyond in doing so.
"I moved out there to enjoy it just as much as they want to and we can do that together if they give us a chance," Phillips said.
The zoning change requests encompass three lots in Meadow Creek Estates for a combined 11.5 acres be amended by rezoning property located on the east side of Greenwood Springridge Road, approximately seven hundred feet north of Meadow Creek Drive in Caddo Parish, from rural agriculture to rural agriculture planned unit development district.
Caddo Parish President Mario Chavez clarified Monday's vote is only to move the legislation forward to a legislative session where a vote can be taken on the matter after laying over for two weeks.
"It's still up for debate come Thursday," Chavez said.
The earliest legislation can be considered is Jan. 21 where a public hearing will also take place.
In other business, a resolution calling for a special election in Caddo Parish to amend the Caddo Parish Home Rule Charter was also advanced.
The three charter propositions include:
Shall Article III, Section 3-07(A) of the Home Rule Charter for Caddo Parish, entitled "Commission Meetings and Rules." be amended to add the following at the end of Section 3-07(A): (A) ... In the event of a national declaration of disaster or emergency, a state declaration of disaster or emergency, or a local declaration of disaster or emergency, within or affecting the geographical boundaries of Caddo Parish, the Commission shall meet via teleconference, video conference, or any technical digital means, to the extent allowed by law, to conduct all Caddo Parish Commission business, until it is declared to be safe for all to return to in-person meetings by a majority of the commissioners?
Shall Article III, Section 3-07(H) of the Home Rule Charter for Caddo Parish, entitled "Commission Meetings and Rules." be amended to read as follows: (H) The president shall be the head of the parish government for ceremonial purposes, for purposes of military law, and for purposes of The Louisiana Homeland Security and Emergency Assistance and Disaster Act, but shall have no administrative duties with regard to the parish administration?
Shall Article V of the Caddo Parish Home Rule Charter be amended by deleting Section 5-05.2 pertaining to the Department of fleet services?
Caddo Parish Commissioner Lyndon B. Johnson reminded commissioners of the cost associated with holding a special election saying it would be somewhere around $200,000.
"I want the commissioners to fully understand what this resolution will do," Johnson said. "If this is calling for a special election, that means the parish will be paying to have this put on the special election ballot and would cost somewhere around $200,000. Those changes to the charter are not warranted to use public dollars in that amount."
Johnson added that he could see doing it during an election where Caddo Parish already has something on the ballot, where it could be added on to that.
"I think it would be a waste of taxpayer dollars," Johnson said telling commissioners he was OK with advancing it to Thursday but that he would be voting against it.
Additionally, Caddo Parish Administrator Dr. Woodrow Wilson, on Tuesday will participate in a COVID-19 vaccine rollout meeting with Dr. Martha Whyte with the Louisiana Department of Public Health, Office of Public Health Region 7.
The meeting is scheduled to take place from 1 to 3 p.m. with Whyte briefing those in attendance on what the state's plans are to help get vaccines out to citizens.
The Caddo Parish Commission will select 2021 officers on Jan. 7.

Last Call for Caviar
MAYA RISING
Sample Chapter from Last Call For Caviar
Chapter 6: Joesexy
Sample Chapter from Maya Rising
Chapter 7: Fly Me To The Moon
MAYA RISING - VOLUME 2
It's 2019 and humanity is imperiled: governments and kingdoms are toppling, societies–across the planet–collapsing. Natural catastrophes, resource wars, systems failure, famine and disease threaten our survival. In the heavens, a dim red star brightens in the night sky, heralding epochal change. Are we the architects of our own demise? Or are we merely bystanders to cosmic events? Among the endangered billions, Maya Jade, an American trapped in the South of France, is searching for answers while fighting to stay alive.
Darker and more erotic, Maya Rising, the sequel to Last Call for Caviar, by Melissa Roen, picks up Maya Jade's story at its cliff-hanging mid-point. Miraculously reunited with her estranged lover, Julian, and guarded by her beloved Golden Retriever, Buddy, Maya and her companions flee the besieged Côte d'Azur searching for safety in the vastness of the French Alps.
After a harrowing journey through a state of anarchy, they find sanctuary in a well-defended Alpine village. Julian's surgical skill is their passport, and for a short time it appears they've found haven above the rising tide of bloodshed engulfing the planet. But all too soon, events conspire to separate these star-crossed lovers once again.
Determined to rescue Julian—if he's alive—Maya hires two retired French soldiers to guide and protect her as she searches for him across the Alps, a majestic terrain now home to rogue militia, marauders, slave traders—and worse. Maya's pampered existence on the French Riviera—chronicled in Last Call for Caviar—is but a surreal memory. Now, every day is a struggle to maintain hope and avoid capture among the craggy peaks and haunted valleys ruled by warlords and populated by the desperate and degraded.
But when Julian's trail leads south, Maya follows, coming full circle to the embattled principality she resolutely left behind. In a stroke of cosmic irony, Maya's mission brings her into intimate contact with her former lover, Abdul, a dangerous and charismatic man, whose skill at seduction she's never been able to resist or forget.
But in the course of a year, a new Maya Jade has emerged from the ashes of a decadent and doomed world. She's no longer wracked by doubt and paralyzed by fear. Risking everything, she employs instinct, cunning and every tool at her disposal to protect those she loves, while holding onto her humanity and ideals in a world gone mad. Readers seeking a sexy, adrenaline-filled ride in the company of a heroine who lives as fiercely as she loves will relish this astro-physical tale of a woman's struggle to understand and survive the end of the world.
Combining elements of adventure, romance, and science fiction, Maya Rising describes a future that is all too plausible. And though the situation is grave and the tension palpable, in Maya Jade's wry, self-conscious story-telling, there is reason to hope. Melissa Roen's novel encounters the apocalypse with courage, determination and wonder and will appeal to fans of speculative fiction, romance and dystopian thrillers.
"A vividly-imagined, dark dystopian fantasy complete with passionate romance and dangerous alliances." — Kirkus Review

Often we don\'t realize that how a needless expenditure can get us into debt. To get out of it is a difficult task. Often it takes only a few months to create a large debt and years to pay it off. It doesn\'t matter if it\'s your a credit card, mortgage loans, Nevada payday loans or figuratively speaking; it always gets worse when you find yourself?unable to pay it off. Paying off debt is not an easy task; often people spend their whole lives just repaying it.
Here, I\'ve listed some smart strategies that can help you pay off your debt as fast as possible.
When you need to pay off your debt, the first thing you should do is?prevent yourself from creating more debt otherwise your efforts have no use. If you continue adding more debt while paying it off, then your progress will be lost.
Create an affordable budget that includes your household, insurance, bills and personal expenses only. Avoid any extra spending on shopping, luxuries or dining out. Once you create a budget, follow that, this way you can save a lot of money from getting wasted for the unnecessary stuff.
When it comes to paying off your debt, begin with the most expensive one. By paying off the debt with the highest interest rate, it is possible to increase your credit card payment simultaneously, paying on the other credit cards too.
In order to make a noticeable lowering of your debt, you should try to pay off more than the minimum balance on your own credit cards. If your minimum paying balance is $100 then you should try to pay off double the amount. That\'s $200. The secret is to pay as much as you can.
If you now have a high interest rate debt for you to think you can pay off in just a few months then it\'s better to switch to a card that provides zero interest balance transfer. This may?help you save big. You can also ask your creditor to reduce your interest rate. If you have a good payment history, you may negotiate for those lower rates.
If you can get any job bonus, then allocate it towards debt paying plan. It\'s hard to protect yourself from the temptation?of spending it with a few?luxuries, but when you want to pay off your debt or your fast auto title loans, your money management and financial planning comes first.
In to get rid of the debt, you may need extra income than your regular monthly income. You must look for easy ways to bring in more money. If you?have one?job, have a part time job too, or if you can\'t do more than a single job then attempt to reduce your spending. You can save in your expenditures by reducing your food budget, using public transportation to save on fuel, or shop during sales only.
If you can\'t borrow from someone nevertheless you have your own house then you can work with it to get yourself out of debt. Your property equity loan is just like borrowing money from a own self. Since the income tax rate is low you can save considerably this way.
Most folk have?some money accumulated during their?life insurance coverage through their?insurance policy. You possibly can borrow from your life insurance?total pay your debt. Once, you will enjoy out of debt, you can set aside a crisis fund easily, so don\'t think about the future consequences, just try to get out of debt as fast as you can.
Reported by this strategy, you should move in descending order appealing rate when it comes to paying off debt. Give the minimum amount of lower interest debts and pay regarding debts with higher rate. Repeat this process each month and very you\'ll be?out of the debt.
In accordance with this strategy, it\'s better to be worthwhile smaller debts first so as to focus all your attention towards just one goal that is to pay off a significant debt. Once you are out of smaller debts, you should use your funds, savings and bonuses to get out of large debt afterwards.
You should use any of the two strategies to pay off your debt; both will yield the positive?results over?time. The manner selection merely depends on your self-control as to how much you can do to pay back debt.
The snowball method is a longer?process, but it involves small accomplishments that could keep you motivated towards your goal. The avalanche method provides fast recovery as you grow out of your most expensive debt first therefore the smaller debts become easier to pay off.
Paying off debts are not an easy task; it requires many sacrifices and compromises. Attempting to makes life more stressful and miserable. Don\'t consider yourself the only one with this problem, everyone faces similar difficulties regarding debt issues. Stay focused?and grow motivated to face unexpected hurdles. Take into account that such situations don\'t last a long time and soon you will be able to get back in?your routine, regardless of the happens, keep your chin up in order to avoid any discouragement.
By employing these strategies and smart ways to manage debt, you can easily get out of debt soon. These result oriented tips will assist you to by cutting your budget and definately will make you able to pay off the money you owe.

Posted by Olivier Momma on January 21, 2020
Once recognized by Tiësto as an "artist of the future", and now one of the biggest up and coming DJ's in the world; meet 23-year-old Mike Williams. Besides being a loyal Ekster user, he's also a global nomad who travels from continent to continent on a weekly basis. We sat down with him to find out what it takes to travel daily for a living. He's no stranger to the Netherlands, and he's quickly become fast friends with the rest of the world (he played three different countries in 48 hours last year). He's been playing the piano since he was 6 years old, and he's been a bona fide DJ ever since he turned 12.
In between jet-setting to different continents and changing the face of future house, Mike found some time to chat with us about his international gig experience, an insider story about airport mishaps in India, and his newly-released fashionwear line, Milliams. Check out one of his performances and our interview with him below.
You've been traveling for a few years now. Is there anything that still surprises you about being on the move?
MW: It depends, every country is different. Luckily I always have a tour manager with me so he always takes care of all the travel things, flying and hotels and everything, and so far everything has gone really well, to be honest. But sometimes, you work with other people as well - like drivers, or if a flight is delayed - something that you can't really change so yeah.
So we've been following you since we worked with your sister, Michelle Willemsen, on Ekster's first promotional video four years ago in Rotterdam. Not sure if you saw it but she's the main act…
MW: Yeah yeah, I saw it, it's crazy! Super cool that she was there when it all started.
Since then we've been following you on Instagram, watching you grow online and travel all over the world. What are some differences about traveling through the US on tour, compared to traveling in Europe, or in Asia?
MW: I think there is a clear difference, because in the US everything is really big and exaggerated and that's how Americans are. I like it though, their way of doing things. But for example, at airports, it's always different. It's difficult to get in the country - there's always a huge line - but in Asia it's quite easy to get in and it's nice because after a long flight you always just want to go to bed really soon. I think another main difference is also food. In the US it's really difficult to get some healthy food, and in Asia of course you have all these noodles, rice, always vegetables with it. So I think food is easier in Asia, and in Europe, but in the US it's difficult to get your vitamins.
Totally, not about that fast food. About the US, what do you think of being on tour there? What are the parties like, which cities do you like best?
MW: We always try to do a couple of tours in the US every year, and I'm always really excited to go because the people are super nice and the parties are usually really good. Of course Vegas is always good but all the other cities, San Francisco, we do Phoenix a lot, also LA and Miami, people are always so energetic and there's always a good vibe. I really love to tour in the US. My favorite cities to party in are Miami and Vegas, both are really different.
So when you're travelling like this, what do you carry with you to keep it easier for you all these countries? What are your essentials?
MW: Probably my laptop. Cos that's like, everything is in there, basically my whole life, all the projects, all my music. And I even have two laptops now, because a couple years ago one got stolen.
So does the stuff you carry differ a little bit per country, or is it always kind of the same?
MW: Honestly it's kind of the same, although we always check the weather before we go on tour. And then yeah sunglasses, shorts, I mean that's more like clothing that's gonna make the difference in your trip.
Have you ever lost something that's been crucial to you on the road?
MW: This is actually a story that not a lot of people know, not even inside management. It was in India, when we arrived at the hotel and we found out that we had lost one bag at the airport. There's always people like drivers, they want to carry your bag when they pick you up from the airport and that's fine but sometimes you lose control. You don't know where every bag is, and in this case that's what happened: he loaded all the bags in the car, and he thought we had one bag to do ourselves, and we thought he had all the bags. So there was one suitcase still left behind and it was a two-hour drive and we found out we didn't have it at the hotel, but there was some really expensive stuff in it. So my tour manager went back to the airport, two hours, and it turns out that the local police found it because they thought it maybe could be a bomb or something, and they were really angry, like really angry - and then he had to fill in some forms and it was alright at the end.
Damn, that's crazy! But super lucky that you managed to find it quickly. Have you ever lost something that you didn't manage to find, or have you always been good with your stuff?
MW: I think so far we've been lucky but I mean there's probably gonna be a moment when I'm gonna lose something, probably my phone. I have lost my earplugs a lot of times though, haha.
So another question about your carry! We know you're using an Ekster, but which one is it and how do you like it?
MW: I don't know which one it is exactly haha, it's the Italian black one. I really like it honestly, really like that it has so many pockets to put your cards, also on the backside. The cards are super easy to grab with the button feature which is great on the road.
Nice! That's our Vachetta line, definitely a favorite. So with all this different stuff, how do you keep track of all of it? Is it like, is it chaos, or…
MW: I mean, yeah, it's part of the job, like traveling, you have to really pay attention to your stuff, and sometimes we check in baggage and things can go wrong, we don't have tracking devices on our stuff.
We could actually help you there! Our trackers have a cool feature where they send your phone a notification if you're leaving them behind. So that could be a cool addition to your carry.
MW: yeah, sick! Love that feature.
We also saw that you released some really cool clothing. From an entrepreneurial perspective, how do you find time for this while also working on your music?
MW: So I'm doing this project with my sister and she's actually designed pretty much everything. So we have the whole clothing brand called Milliams, we have the merchandise, and we're also gonna release more from the fashion line. That will be a bit far away from Mike Williams, not like the merch. A lot of people wanna walk in clothes that have my logo on it and I get that, so that's why we're trying to do something more fashion as well. And yeah, my sister is pretty much doing 80% of everything, and I'm helping with a couple of things. So we work on it together.
Heads up for Milliams fans: his new fashion line debuted during Amsterdam Dance Event, and you can check it out here!
Super nice that you get to work together. You were also playing ADE recently, right after you got home. What's your favourite part about playing in Amsterdam?
MW: Well of course for one, it's really close to my house, haha. Especially during ADE, people were really in party mode and I mean, people are normally not that energetic when they're in the crowd or festivals. So ADE I think was a nice exception because you could see a lot of people with a lot of energy going to a lot of parties, and of course a lot of tourists were here as well. It's always just one big party in your own city.
Yeah, ADE is definitely something special. Do you find that your friends also come more often than, let's say, in Thailand or Indonesia?
MW: Yeah definitely. Also great to see all the fans traveling for hours to get to ADE, and also the DJs, all these big DJs that you only see when you're touring. And they come to Amsterdam and they join all the parties too.
You're gonna do bigger and bigger things in the coming years, and we're super excited to see where life takes you. Thanks for taking the time to sit down with us!

Nigerian Rapper StanVik Drops New Single 'MEGA'
Posted by ArtistPR on June 17, 2020 at 12:45pm
New Hip Hop Music Available Now
Badagry, Nigeria - June 17, 2020 - Born in the early '90s, StanVik came into their world at the height of rap music. Perhaps that is why he found himself enamored with it and soon began his journey in the hip hop realm. Today, he's delivering a unique take with his fourth single this year, "Mega,' available now on all major music and streaming sites.
StanVik kicked off 2020 with the release of "Dependence." That was soon followed up by "Mannequin," "FIGURE," and now his latest, "Mega." Each song is as great as the last and showcases the Nigerian rapper's approach to trapping. Making music people want to vibe to is not the easiest thing to do, but StanVik continues to make it look effortless with each new release he drops - and it shows. His music has garnered spins on top stations in the US, UK, Germany, and beyond.
While he has always been a fan of music, StanVik didn't start his education in the creative craft until 2010. He was just 16 at the time, but his determination drove him to where he is today. Now he has more than a dozen singles, airplay around the globe, and plans to tour internationally as soon as live music is deemed safe again.
Those interested in adding new hip hop to their playlists, featuring "Mega" on their site, or interviewing StanVik for their site, podcast, or radio show can reach out via the information provided below.

Gulf is a portion of the sea, that is almost surrounded by land except one narrow opening.
Gulfs are formed when a giant rock collapses or when a piece of land sinks. This causes a big indentation in the area, and the water eventually fills it up. Gulfs are also formed through a natural process of erosion. Erosion is caused by water or wind beating away at a surface over a period of time! But all this doesn't happen overnight! For This process of gulf getting formed, it sometimes takes millions of years.
Gulfs are generally named after the countries or cities that they are surrounded by. While there are many gulfs found all over the world, there are a few that are hugely popular.
The Gulf of Mexico is the largest gulf in the world. It was formed approximately 300 million years ago as a result of the sinking of a seafloor. It is located on the coast of Mexico and The United States of America. It is an extension of Atlantic ocean. It is an extremely valuable source of seafood for The United States.
Persian gulf is another crucial gulf surrounded by the Arab states of — Iran, Iraq, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. It is an extension of Arabian sea. Most of the world's oil is shipped through the Persian Gulf to all the other parts of the world.
Why don't you pick up atlas or a globe and see how many gulfs you can figure out across the world!


While the part-time maids of Maid Green will only perform the work agreed upon between the company and customer, they will also perform other chores upon request. You may, however, pay an additional fee for the extra jobs, as can be expected. You should then be clear about what you what cleaned, how you want it cleaned, and what results you expect so you can get the best value for your money.
You should also coordinate with the part-time maids' supervisors since there may be in-house policies regarding the matter. You don't want to put yourself and the part-time maids in hot water, if ever.
Let's face it – cleaning the oven can be a chore in more ways than one. You have to clean its nooks and crannies where solid and liquid spills will accumulate. You will likely spend an hour or two in thoroughly cleaning your oven and stovetop – and it's time that you can spend on more important things, such as promoting your business.
But with part-time maids doing the work for you, you can devote more time to your priorities. The extra pay for it can be recouped in other ways, such as in spending more time with your family or in getting more customers.
Yet another chore that can eat away at your time is cleaning the fridge particularly its interior. If you were to do it yourself, you will also spend a couple of hours removing all the items in it, cleaning the interior with soap and water, and placing the items back in.
The part-time maids, fortunately, can spare you the inconvenience of cleaning your own fridge. But before they do, you have to determine which items to keep and which ones to throw. The part-time maids shouldn't be expected to do it for you because it's your food and, thus, your money.
The china cabinets may be closed most times of the year but these can still accumulate dust and dirt, not to mention that the china itself can become smudged. You can also ask the part-time maids to clean the inside of the china cabinets but there's a caveat.
You have to be present during the cleaning process due to the fragile nature of the china. You shouldn't let the part-time maids handle the china without the proper care, such as holding it well in both hands and putting the pieces in a safe place. You may think that you can do the cleaning yourself but the work will be easier and faster with their assistance.
Again, you should determine whether the part-time maids are willing to do the extra work. You have to consider their reservations, too.

Repeating Genes
Home > Topics > Math & Computer Science > Repeating Genes
Scientists at the Weizmann Institute, using computer simulations, have provided an explanation as to why certain genetic diseases caused by repeats in the code are "genetic time-bombs" whose onset and progression can be accurately predicted
Huntington's disease is a genetic time bomb: Programmed in the genes, it appears at a predictable age in adulthood, causing a progressive decline in mental and neurological function and finally death. There is, to date, no cure. Huntington's, and a number of diseases like it, collectively known as trinucleotide repeat diseases, are caused by an unusual genetic mutation: A three-letter piece of gene code is repeated over and over in one gene.
Scientists at the Weizmann Institute have now proposed a mechanism that provides an explanation for the remarkable precision of the time bomb in these diseases. This explanation may, in the future, point researchers in the direction of a possible prevention or cure.
The number of repeats in Huntington's patients ranges from 40 to over 70. Scientists have noted that, like clockwork, one can predict by how many times the sequence repeats in a patient's gene both the age at which the disease will appear and how quickly the disease will progress. The basic assumption has been that the protein fragment containing the amino acid (glutamine) encoded in the repeating triplet slowly builds up in the cells until eventually reaching toxic levels. This theory, unfortunately, fails to explain some of the clinical data. For instance, it doesn't explain why patients with two copies of the Huntington's gene don't exhibit symptoms earlier than those with a single copy. Plus, glutamine is produced in only some trinucleotide diseases, whereas the correlation between sequence length and onset age follows the same general curve in all of them, implying a common mechanism not tied to glutamine.
Research student Shai Kaplan in Prof. Ehud Shapiro's lab in the Biological Chemistry, and Computer Sciences and Applied Mathematics Departments, realized the answer might lie in somatic mutations – changes in the number of DNA repeats that build up in our cells throughout our lives. The longer the sequence, the greater the chance of additional mutation, and the scientists realized that the genes carrying the disease code might be accumulating more and more DNA repeats over time, until some critical threshold is crossed.
Based on the literature on some 20 known trinucleotide repeat diseases and their knowledge of the mechanisms governing somatic mutation, Shapiro, Kaplan (who is also in the Molecular Cell Biology Department) and Dr. Shalev Itzkovitz created a computer simulation that could take a given number of genetic repeats and show both the age of onset and the way in which the disease progresses. Their findings appeared in PLoS Computational Biology.
The new disease model appears to fit all of the facts and to provide a good explanation for the onset and progression of all of the known trinucleotide repeat diseases. Experimentation in research labs could test this model, say the scientists and, as it predicts that all these diseases operate by somatic expansion of a trinucleotide repeat, it also suggests that a cure for all might be found in a drug or treatment that slows down the expansion process.
Prof. Ehud Shapiro's research is supported by the Clore Center for Biological Physics; the Arie and Ida Crown Memorial Charitable Fund; the Cymerman - Jakubskind Prize; the Fusfeld Research Fund; the Henry Gutwirth Fund for Research; Ms. Sally Leafman Appelbaum, Scottsdale, AZ; the Louis Chor Memorial Trust Fund; and the estate of Fannie Sherr, New York, NY.
