I visited the island last Saturday with friends from Dingle hillwalking club. What a wonderful place it is, we all had a great time and the weather was perfect. As a birdwatcher i cant wait to visit again. We met lovely people while we were there, they made us feel welcome and told us lots about this special place. To Anne and David thank you both for making it an extra special day. I will be back sooner rather than later.
I had a brief visit to the island birdwatching for a day. I have to say that the friendliness and hospitality of the islanders was absolutely fantastic. A special thank you to the owners of the amazing garden in the third village who allowed us in for a look at a very special bird.
The island has some lovely scenery (when the mist lifts) and there are some lovely walks around the island.
Would recommend a trip to anyone though take your walking boots and check the weather.
We had a brilliant day today walking the full length of Dursey Island and back. The ride on the cable car was worth the 6 hour drive alone.The weather was absolutely perfect giving us great views all round and a suntan.The Island is beautiful - we took a couple of hundred photos each. The locals (and the cat we met) were very friendly and welcoming and happy to answer our questions about life on the Island. Well worth visiting - thank you for a great day.

Q: Ldap filter for attribute that may not exist I have a problem with adding filter for attribute, which exist not in all members of organization unit.
I set filter like this^
    (status=Active)
But this property doesn't exist in half of members and server returns "unwilling to execute 53 error".
I wonder how should I rewrite this filter query to make it work only for objects with this attribute?
Thanks

A: *

*To return entries that contain a populated status attribute, use a present filter, for example, (status=*).

*To return entries that do not contain a status attribute, negate the present filter: (!(status=*)).

*If the server is unwilling to execute, check that the status attribute is indexed for equality and presence. If do not have access to this information, check with the LDAP administrators in the appropriate organization.

Proud of you big brother: Hardik Pandya on Krunal Pandya
By FPJ News Service
All-rounder Hardik Pandya on Wednesday congratulated his big brother Krunal Pandya for winning the Player of the Series award in the recently concluded three-match T20I series between India and West Indies.
Hardik's work ethics are second to none: Krunal
New Delhi: All-rounder Hardik Pandya on Wednesday congratulated his big brother Krunal Pandya for winning the Player of the Series award in the recently concluded three-match T20I series between India and West Indies. His remarks come after India's seven-wicket win against West Indies in the third T20I. As a result of this win, the Men in Blue won the series 3-0. "Congrats #TeamIndia, dominating performances, and congratulations @krunalpandya24 on winning the Player of the Series award... so, so proud of you big bro," Hardik Pandya tweeted.
Hardik has been given rest for the whole Windies tour as he was playing continuously for the past two-three months. In the three-match T20I series, Krunal managed to take three wickets and score 67 runs with the bat.
"A series to remember, thanks for all the support and wishes #TeamIndia," Krunal Pandya had also tweeted. In the third T20I, India restricted West Indies to just 146 runs in the allotted twenty overs after Deepak Chahar's impressive spell of 3-4 in three overs. Chasing 147, India were in a spot of bother at 27/2, but Rishabh Pant and Virat Kohli stitched up a partnership of 106 runs, taking the team to a position of safety.
Kohli was dismissed on 59, but Pant ensured Men in Blue's victory by seven wickets. The left-handed Pant remained unbeaten on 65. With this knock, Pant broke MS Dhoni's record for having the highest score by an Indian wicket-keeper in T20Is. India will now face West Indies in the three-match ODI series.

The Meaning Of Spanglish
By Newsweek Staff On 9/17/03 at 8:00 PM EDT
Unless you speak Spanish, you might not be aware of the controversy over Spanglish, a broken mix of Spanish and English spoken wherever you see Latinos these days--in the barrios of the Bronx, Spanish Harlem and East Los Angeles, the migrant worker camps of Oregon and Arizona and the tonier, tree-lined suburbs of San Antonio and South Florida.
The "language" is taking over the Unaited Esteits--that's how it is spelled in Spanglish according to Ilan Stavans, its main advocate and author of the new book, "Spanglish: The Making of A New American Language" (288 pages. HarperCollins Rayo. $24.95). The book combines a serious academic essay--perhaps too serious--about the origins and importance of Spanglish, a compilation of more than 4,500 terms and a delightful translation of "Don Quixote's" first chapter into Spanglish as proof that this mutt of a language exists. Stavans is determined to defend it, to not let it die, as has almost happened to Yiddish, the language of his childhood in Mexico City, where he grew up a middle-class, Eastern-European Jewish blond kid. In other words, an outsider.
Stavans work is a noble endeavor and incredibly fun project. A fool for words and etymology, Stavans fell in love with Spanglish when he first heard it on the streets of New York City. He was a newcomer, a young, curious soul with a literary bug and a rootless past. Just like he wasn't Mexican in Mexico, he could feel the struggle of the young Latinos, trying to mesh two cultures, by speaking both Spanish and English in the streets of the New York. "There was something that was simply exquisite," he writes, as if describing the girl who stole his heart. He lost his head for her and has, faithfully, protected and defended her since then.
To many, Stavans, who became an academic, does not have the right credentials to appropriate Spanglish. From his northeastern ivory tower--he teaches Latin American and Latino studies at Amherst College--he has developed a network of researchers and informants from all over the continent who call him with tips on the matter. They look through local papers, listen to radio shows, sit at bodegas and pizzerias, hang out with the cops and the cousins in the hud (yes, Spanglish for "hood"). Slowly, Stavans has put together a list of 6,000 words--not all made it into the book--and the list grows every day. But some barrio boys are not happy about this. "He is taking it from the streets and into the classroom," says Latino writer Ernesto Quinonez, "but he is not one of us."
His critics don't stop there. What Stavans finds poetic and avant garde, others find offensive. Feathers get ruffled when fiddling with Cervantes's masterpiece. To purists--such as the members of the 300-year-old Royal Academy of the Spanish Language, whose mandate is to keep Spanish as "pure" as it was in the 16th century--this is the equivalent of translating Shakespeare into Ebonics. To the very stodgy members of the Royal Academy, Stavans's work only serves to desecrate pure Spanish. Ditto say the academics and linguists of Spanish in this country. They are too locked up in their comfortable offices to want to see what is happening in the streets today, says Stavans.
For others, it's a political argument. Spanglish is a trap that leaves Latinos poor and in the barrio. Spanglish is a deterrent to success. They must learn English, they argue, because it is the language of upward mobility in this country. For Stavans, who includes a translation of parts of the Pledge of Allegiance and the Declaration of Independence in his introduction, Spanglish is instead a tool of empowerment, a way of accepting that coming from two cultures "makes you broken" but American nonetheless.
Stavans's flechazo, his love-at-first-sight, with Spanglish is understandable. To a Spanish speaker with a soft spot for music, change, irreverence, spontaneity and a street-smart instinct of survival, Spanglish is smart, funny, adorable, gutsy and modern. It is simply delicious to see how to vacuum the carpet becomes vacunar la carpeta, which in pure Spanish translates to the nonsensical to vaccinate a folder. But it is also a way of rebelling against the stubbornness of stodgy Spanish rules. "Spanglish is the answer to the urgent need of finding quick, immediate words to technology in a modern, wired world where Latinos have immediate access," he says. If Spanish purists do not embrace modernity, Latinos have found a way of entering today's globalized word. Thus reguardear for rewinding and forguardear for fast forward. So what if Stavans was born white and outside of the barrio, and so what if he likes to see an army of conquistadors out to get him, as far as I can tell, his infatuation hurts no one. He has found, in the United States, a way to feel at home at last. What follows are excerpts of our interview:
NEWSWEEK: I don't know if I speak Spanglish or not. Is there one correct Spanglish? As you present it, there is, and my Spanglish is a completely made-up thing. I make up words as I go along.
Ilan Stavans: The fact that when you invent words, somebody else can understand it is already a sign that there are ears out there that have been responding to a similar stimulation. There are words like rufo [roof] or marketa [market] that are already established. But when we hear new terms that are coined through our imagination, and we don't need to ask one another "what do you mean by this?" then we have the beginnings of a language. We'll ask perhaps at the beginning or we're puzzled, but very quickly we incorporate those words.
And that is definitely happening with Spanglish in this country.
Definitely. I feel there's a culture out there that is enabling all this. I think that Spanish TV and radio are enabling us to find a space where your creative Spanglish and mine and that of other people can meet and find some sort of middle ground.
You mean a pop culture. Thanks to J. Lo and Ricky Martin ...
And to Don Francisco [the variety-show host] and Cristina [the talk-show host] and Jorge Ramos [the news anchorman].
So Jorge Ramos presents Univision's national newscast in Spanglish?
His Spanish is not pure. It's prostituted. He has said it himself. He says "green card" on air, not tarjeta de identidad.
Does he say "green card" in an American accent or "grincar"?
"Grincar." And people immediately understand. And if you saw a transcript it would be spelled g-r-i-n-c-a-r. No need to define it.
And this is exactly what has the purists in Madrid and in Latin America cringing. Spanish departments in this country are also up in arms about it. You are advocating the death of Spanish, Stavans.
Spanish departments in this country are filled with people from the older generations, who came here as refugees or political exiles from Latin America, often hating the United States but coming here as the only option from, say, Chile or Argentina. They became ostriches in Spanish departments, got tenure, and now all these kids, 20, 30 years younger than they are that use a different Spanish than theirs are coming into the classroom. And these professors look down at this culture as it not being as powerful as Garcia Marquez or as Luisa Valenzuela, which is ridiculous.
So it's both a generational issue and an argument of high culture versus low culture.
It is a younger generation that is embracing Spanglish. And I think that the dialectic between high culture and low culture is fascinating. I think those shows are certainly low culture. But we are witnessing the transition of Spanglish from a pop culture to a more middlebrow and even avant-garde approach. Something that high culture, or the more sophisticated minds, are embracing.
You're telling me that Don Francisco would be considered ...
Considered kitsch. Kitsch that is embraceable, empowering. It's the equivalent of the rascuache, kitsch with an ethnic twist. Chicanos in the 1960s dressing like Tin-Tan were rascuache. For a while, parents bought your cheap slippers at Kmart, and everybody looked down at you in the neighborhood because you didn't have the slippers or the T shirts or the nice jacket that other kids had. But there came a time in the '60s when they said "well, let's buy those slippers because that is the culture that we come from and it's a form of empowerment.
The whole La Raza movement.
Yes. I think there is an upper-middle-educated class of young, urban Latino professionals who are saying that the Spanglish that was looked down in the '50s and '60s as the rotten, broken, illegitimate form of communication is now precisely what we are--a broken form of identity that is perfectly full. I sit in a restaurant in Miami and in the table next to me are two young, Cuban-Americans, speaking Spanglish, going back and forth from one language to another, coining new terms, using terms that are localisms, and there's nothing strange or anachronistic about it. I go to San Antonio and I hear a doctor and a teacher, also going back and forth from Spanish to English because they are sitting eating in a restaurant, or in a park and they want to be heard or seen as los chicanos or los tejanos. They want to differentiate themselves from the Anglos that are surrounding them. I have many students who tell me that they have parents who are very unhappy with the Spanglish that they speak. They want them to use pure Spanish, and they feel that the presence of assimilation is messing them up. But what they do is they come to school, and they sit in the cafeteria, and they use Spanglish that will define their turf vis-a-vis the other ethnic groups. Two Asians come in and you immediately see the two Latinos speaking Spanglish. For me, it's the shaping of a new identity that is just astonishing.
Then you also have the Anglo argument against Spanglish.
That's a question of assimilation and entering the melting pot. Other immigrant groups have come with their own languages of communication, Gaelic, German, Italian and Yiddish, and after two or three generations those languages have all but vanished. There are relics of them in the English language, but those immigrant groups have very much become part of the United States. They've learned the English of the United States. Latinos are not doing the same thing.
So Latinos are raising some questions of American identity.
Right, like has the American Dream collapsed? Is the melting pot no longer melting the new, the incoming immigrants? Have we failed as culture? It brings up the whole issue of the Founding Fathers and what America's job in the world is. Are Latinos proving us all wrong, or maybe we have to be more emphatic and angrier and more forceful with Latinos to make them speak English.
Because if not, they're going to take over?
Because they're going to take over, because they're not going to learn the language. And they're going to create a country within the country. By the way, I don't think that that's true.
Let's take that argument a little bit further. If they don't learn the language, they also will not follow the rules of what being an American means?
Right. English is the great equalizer. Through language comes education, through language comes political participation, language becomes the way of being and of dreaming, and all that, and then the "I love you, America." And that is not happening.
But why isn't it happening?
I actually think that it is a false argument. On the one hand, it's true that Latinos have not followed the same patterns [as] when Jews or Italians learned the language. By the second or third generation, the grandchildren already spoke English and Yiddish or Italian became a topic of nostalgia. Latinos are a very different group in that no other immigrant group has come from just across the border. The geographical proximity really changes the spectrum. For a Mexican to live in San Antonio, and in half hour to be on the other side--you don't forget the past the way an Italian from Palermo or an Irish from Dublin did. Yes, Latinos have not abandoned their language the way other groups have but they are also embracing English. They speak both Spanish and English. And that angers some people in this country.
I am not convinced that is going to happen. It's the first time it's happening, so we are seeing and learning as we live it, I guess. But I'm not holding my breath. As much as I enjoy Spanglish, I'm not sure it's not going to end up like Yiddish and that no more than 15 words will enter the language and become household words.
The Jews came between 1850 and 1930, and that's it. But Latinos have been coming and coming. But with Spanish it's different. Once the Nicaraguans begin forgetting Spanish, there come the Salvadorans, and once the Salvadorans stop coming, the Guatemalans come, and then there come the Nicaraguans again ...
And the Ecuadorians, and then the Colombians. So as long as there is political turmoil and poverty in Latin America and both are going to be around for a while, there will be Spanglish por lontain--that's my Spanglish for "for a long time." But it is true that it is a different language than the one I grew up with. The public announcements are in a Spanish that is very different from the Spanish that you and I grew up with.
You ride the subway and you see all those ads that they put on top or on the door, you know, WATCH YOUR STEP: vea tu paso, which means see your step
But these ads are being written unconsciously into Spanglish by people who are convinced they are using correct Spanish.
By people who don't know sufficient Spanish, but that's the culture that we have and mistakes will become patterns.
At first, I have to admit they feel like desecrated Spanish and then you learn to enjoy the deformities and actually see the poetics. So what power can a few old teachers and stodgy men in Madrid have against a whole generation of American kids who want to keep some kind of cultural identity? By the way, what's your favorite Spanglish word?
The latest one is colorid, which is being used all over Argentina. It comes from caller ID. I love socketes for socks and washeteria is such a beautiful word. It makes you feel that you are being washed yourself.
Well I think we should come up with a word for "lighten up" for all the controversy--how would we spell lighten up? L-a-i-t-e-n-o?
With an accent on the o, and there we start at the beginning of our talk, we are making up words.
Well, that's my contribution to you lexicon.


So this has been an eventful week with so many meetings and events happening as the projects we work on move forward into existence!!
So the first was the Spec savers wearer of the year award 2018 which I was blessed to be invited to as a winner of the 35-44 category in the UK! I was literally a fish out of water amongst all those celebrities and glamorous people but enjoyed every minute of my Cinderella moment! I got to speak to many people about the work I do here for the Walk to Freedom and my journey in life and felt quite proud of myself for facing my fears and putting myself in the forefront…even when my knees trembled!
Yesterday I had the privilege of attending Soul Cafe in Luton to see my friend, Boss and Mentor Mark speak his story….here is an introduction and sneak peek….if you ever get an opportunity to hear him speak then please grab it…his inspiring words can change the way you look at life!
We all have our Journeys and stories to tell and sometimes the things we see as the worst things to happen to us can lead us on to the best things to change in our life…people are taken out of your life or brought together for a reason and Mark and I are truly a pair whose skills sets and dynamics compliment each other to create a winning team!
Many Thanks to the lovely Rob and Lydia Joy of Soar for hosting at their lovely Soul Cafe!

Interpol Traces €500,000 COVID-19 Fraud To Nigeria (Read Full Details)
Icon Oluwaseyi Duracell 8:36 AM News
The International Criminal Police Organisation, popularly called Interpol, has traced a €500,000 COVID-19 fraud to Nigeria.
The organisation made this known in a statement on its website titled, 'Unmasked: International COVID-19 fraud exposed'.
According to the statement, the scheme was coordinated using compromised emails, advance-payment fraud, and money laundering.
It stated that the fraud was uncovered by financial institutions and authorities across Germany, Ireland and the Netherlands, as part of a case coordinated by INTERPOL.
The statement read in part, "In mid-March, as a number of countries were going into lockdown due to the coronavirus outbreak, German health authorities contracted two sales companies in Zurich and Hamburg to procure EUR 15 million worth of face masks. With a global shortage on medical supplies complicating usual business channels, the buyers followed new leads in the hopes of securing the masks.
"It all started with an email address and website which appeared to be linked to a legitimate company in Spain selling face masks. Unbeknownst to the buyers, the site was a fake and their legitimate email addresses had been compromised.
"Through email correspondence, the company initially claimed to have 10 million masks, only for the delivery to fall through. As consolation, they then referred the buyers to a 'trusted' dealer in Ireland. The Irish middleman promised to put them in touch with a different supplier, this time in the Netherlands.
"Claiming to have a strong commercial relationship with the company, the man provided assurances that the alleged Dutch company would be able to supply the 10 million face masks. An agreement for an initial delivery of 1.5 million masks was made, in exchange for an up-front payment of EUR 1.5 million.
"The buyers initiated a bank transfer to Ireland and prepared for delivery, which involved 52 lorries and a police escort to transport the masks from a warehouse in the Netherlands to the final destination in Germany.
"Just before the delivery date, the buyers were informed that the funds had not been received and that an emergency transfer of EUR 880,000 straight to the Dutch supplier was required to secure the merchandise.
"The buyers sent the wire transfer and the masks never arrived. It turns out the Dutch company existed, but their website had also been cloned. There was no official record of the order.
"When the buyers realized they had been duped, they immediately contacted their bank in Germany, which in turn contacted INTERPOL's Financial Crimes unit, setting off a race to intercept the funds and follow the money trail.
"The Dutch Fiscal Information and Investigation Service quickly tracked down the EUR 880,000 which had been transferred from the German company. Nearly EUR 500,000 of those funds had already been sent to the United Kingdom, all of which was destined for an account in Nigeria."

Here is a simple 8-step dog check done once a week that ensures a healthier and happier pet. It will help keep your vet expenses to a minimum.
Using your sense of smell, vision and touch will help you detect problems early in order to correct any issues naturally.
MOUTH: Lift the upper lip. Are the gums red or inflamed? Do you see tartar built up on the teeth? If you notice sweet smells, it could indicate diabetes. An ammonia smell could indicate a kidney problem.
TEETH AND GUMS: Make a paste of baking soda and hydrogen peroxide, put a gauze pad on your finger, dip the pad into the paste and brush your dog's teeth. I add Thieves essential oil into the solution or you can mix a solution of 2 drops Thieves to 1 oz. water and spray on your dog's upper teeth.
EARS: Ears should be clean without any smells. Use olive oil, mineral oil, apple cider vinegar, or Purification essential oil on a cotton pad or a Q-tip to clean out the ears. If you see yellow discharge (puss), take your pet to the vet.
LYMPH NODES: Feel behind the jaw just below the ears for pea sized lymph nodes. You are checking to see if they have become abnormal in size. If one side is larger than the other, it could mean a tooth infection. If both sides are inflamed it can mean a viral infection or indicate other problems.
PAWS: Are the nails too long or splitting? Learn to trim the nails or have a groomer do it.
NERVE ENDINGS: Gently feel down the spine of your dog. You are feeling for a small depression just to the outside of each dip on both sides of the vertebrate all the way down the entire spine. These points can tell you if there is a problem since the nerve endings are attached there. If you get a reaction of displeasure during the spine massage make an appointment to see your vet.
STOMACH: Gently massage the stomach and watch for a reaction of displeasure.
Feel for abnormal lumps and bumps during the whole checkup session. Turn your pet checkup into a massage petting session. Your dog will look forward to it. Do the dog checkup once a week and you will be able to monitor if anything has changed. You can take preventive action before any permanent damage occurs.
If not wanting to Play, Eat, or Drink bring your puppy to a Vet.
When the weather isn't so inviting, or the puppy would rather play with you instead of going outside to relieve itself, here are a few tricks that work.
Let the puppy out. If it doesn't relieve itself within 5 minutes, then let the puppy back in for 5 minutes or less then take the puppy back outside. This gives the puppy time to forget about holding its bladder and the puppy will relax enough to go when taken out the second time. IF YOU SEE THE PUPPY'S NOSE TO THE GROUND FOR 5 SECONDS where it is not allowed to relieve itself, it may be looking for a spot to pee, 5 minutes or not take the puppy outside to where it's allowed to go!
2) When you take your puppy out, do not play with it or talk to it. Just walk a little faster than the puppy can keep up with you. I walk a big circle around the area I want the puppy to learn to go. After your puppy has success, reward your puppy with praise when it goes in the designated area.
I like to use a command for the puppy to relieve itself. I use the phrase "do your business". This phrase aids greatly when I'm in a hurry or need a urine/stool sample at the vet. I choose not to use the phrase "go potty". Parents use this phase when asking their children if they need to go and my dogs would go on the command no matter where. Another phrase to use is "find a spot".
LEAVE THE FRESHEST STOOL IN THE PLACE WHERE YOU WANT THE PUPPY TO GO - once it is going there consistently no need to leave a stool marker. Puppy pads are expensive. Newspaper that is already stained by the puppy serves the same purpose. See grate/crate (litter box) training.
3) Catch it in the act or right before it happens. Double clap your hands and loudly say "NO" as you move towards the puppy to pick it up and take it outside, even if it pees all the way out the door.
IF YOU DON'T CATCH THE PUPPY IN THE ACT YOU CAN NOT DISCIPLINE IT. It will think its getting yelled at for just standing there, dogs live in the moment.
state all you loved and all you miss. Doesn't matter if you buried it, frame it, mail it or burn it.
This is how Abe Lincoln healed his heart.
What better method to follow then those of the great!
P.S. Deciding how long to be grieve is a belief system of each person.
Death is part of life, it will happen in your world more than once.
It is your choice to decide how to handle your thoughts, reactions and emotions.
So why not decide to focus on what your pet gave you...unconditional love.
Decide to greet your day as your dog did, wagging its tail.
tear them up, track their waste on your floors and it is an on going expense. The Grate/Crate method protects your floors, diarrhea falls through the grate and cannot be tracked throughout your home. The puppy cannot play on the newspaper covered by the grate keeping your home clean.
The grate/crate can be rolled easily from room to room without hurting your back, pinching your fingers or spilling waste. The cost is one time for the grate/crate of $102 at the time of this article.
3 puppy pads per day costs about $1.50.
= paids for itself in 68 days.
The Grate/Crate will save you money, keep your home clean and the puppy cannot use the grate as a toy and tear it up. If you don't have newspaper, ask family, friends, neighbors, businesses or purchase the Sunday Paper. It will cost less the puppy pads.
Basically, Bone Soup is a liquid food derived from the dissolution of animal bone, tendon and meat components in water. Prolonged simmering, known by culinary experts as "reducing," allows cartilaginous factors of the animal parts to solubilize in the broth. In this process, long chain sugars co-mingle with protein-sulfur components to create glucose amino glycans, and form a gel matrix within the water. This process traps the minerals released from the bone, which include calcium, magnesium and potassium, into a type of suspension called a colloid. This colloidal gel system has an electrical nature that vivifies the liquid and enhances the biological value of the nutrients carried within it.
Bone soup is easy to make. To get the maximum benefit from bone soup, it's best to prepare the soup with oils, spices and vinegar. One way to start the soup is to place your favorite spices and some oil or butter in the bottom of a large soup or spaghetti pot. Apply very slight heat until the spices dissolve within the oil. This allows active components in the spices to release into the oils, enhancing the medicinal properties of the oil.
Bone soup is as much a nutritional supplement as a delicious food. It's a considerable source of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, proteins and anti cancer compounds, all in a bio-electrically active, easy to absorb form. All told, it's nutritionally packed, inexpensive, easy to make and a valuable, tasty part of a healthy lifestyle.
The typical American life span for a dog weighing less than 15 # is 12-15 years. This is an estimate of a dog fed the typical American diet of dry dog food and regular tap water.
You can increase the span of your dog's life by understanding how important diet is. Your dog will have less health issues and you less vet bills by drinking reverse osmosis or steam distilled water. Feeding a raw organic diet along with dry dog food instead of only dry kibble helps to increase health and life span.
One of the toughest events in life is to lose what you love. Some events can not be foreseen. The future is not ours to see but you can try to do everything in your power to be preventative. It is heart wrenching to hear the stories of pain and loss; this is why I share them with you so you can try to avoid the heartache. All the examples are real and have happened to dogs I have sold.
Accidents are the next biggest cause of shortened life span. Knowing the cause of accidents can help you prevent them from happening to your pet. You can put a stop to accidents waiting to happen.
Examples: Jumping out of your arms and breaking a leg or hip, falling off a couch or bed causing injury, running out the door to greet the arriving car and being hit, standing behind a child learning to swing a golf club and being struck.
Try to view the world as your pooch does. It doesn't think it needs to look both ways before crossing the road. Or I might fall off the bed or couch while sleeping or playing. You need to be the caretaker and do what can be done to keep your dog safe. Teach no dog zones as suggested in my eBook.
Teach your dog to whoa at the door and exit only on your command. If your bed is high compared to the size of your dog it may be best not to let your dog sleep on the bed. If you are a heavy sleeper does your dog know how to get out from underneath you? When your child is playing consider the size of the ball/toy and the speed it rebounds. This may be a time to kennel your dog to keep the little one safe from fast moving objects.
Remember not all dogs love other dogs. If at a family event the neighbor's dog is chained and your puppy loves all dogs, this may be an accident waiting to happen. You may end up running after your little pooch and you may have to kick the neighbor's dog in the side to force him to release your pooch. Then you may need to run out of range to avoid being bitten yourself.
Take your dog's harness/collar off when kenneling. It is possible for your canine to get caught and even hung. Teach your dog to obey on command/invitation. Your dog should wait for the command/invitation before jumping in or out of the car. This avoids the possibility of getting slammed in the car door.
Dokken's Oakridge Kennels of Northfield, MN teaches a method of placement training with a tone from an electronic collar. He teaches the dog to look back for hand signals when hearing the tone and go in the direction the trainer points or to stay. He starts with 2 mats; I use a harness and leash to lead my dog to each mat voicing the command and giving the hand signal. As your pooch understands what to do put the mats further apart, reward the dog after each correct sit on the mat. Now the tone can be added in from the electronic collar and you never need to yell again. Just push the tone, your dog looks at you and you can direct it as necessary. Dokken has training DVDs on his website www.deadfowltrainer.com/training.htm or call 507-744-2616.
Lets discuss what an allergy is. An allergy is your body's reaction to a substance. The reaction may be watery eyes, running nose, hives, sneezing and many other uncomfortable conditions. Your body is trying to remove the substance that is irritating your immune system. Your body tries to remove these toxins by getting them outside the body. Examples: Watery eyes your system is trying to kick the substance out of your body. A stuffy nose is simply trying to isolate the particle by attacking it with extra reinforcements of antibodies. This is a very basic explanation but it gets the point across.
Now, what can you do to change the allergic reaction? First understanding what you are putting into your mouth and on your skin and how to remove toxins from your body is key. Water is very important. Water is what keeps your blood flowing and all your cells need it to do their job of keeping your body healthy. Water needs to be free of chemicals, toxins, bacteria and viruses for your body to heal itself. The purest water is steam distilled water. You can purchase it by the gallon in the grocery store. Reverse Osmosis would be a good second choice of water. Other filtering methods, well, tap water come with problems and do not help heal your body. Chlorine causes scarring of the arteries, Fluoride may cause thyroid issues. Charcoal filtering of water leaves bacteria, viruses and more but it is better than tap or well water. Your pets will be healthier if they drink pure water.
Understand that you may not be reacting to a non shedding dog but to what was put on the dog. Flea and tick shampoos are poisons. When you pet a dog that has a poison topically applied you are adsorbing it through your skin by petting the dog. Flea collars, monthly applied flea and tick products all cause allergy issues. Why do we use these products? Sometimes when choosing between two evils it is necessary to resolve the problem. That is why when I go to the vet, groomer or other places that may harbor fleas, ticks, mites…the list goes on. Use a puppy flea and tick shampoo before you go or better yet Animal Scents Shampoo. This makes my dog a poor host for the creatures looking for a new home. But as soon as I return home I wash it off with Animal Scents Shampoo, Dove or Ivory Bar Soap. People who have allergies usually react to the toxins in the flea and tick shampoo but not to the Dove or Ivory Bar Soap. Think the liquid soap is fine? No! Compare the ingredients list and Google (search on the internet) the ingredients. You will be amazed at what is put in to common every day products we all use. You will learn to make healthier choices.
I am a Minnesota dog breeder located in the St. Paul/Minneapolis area (Northfield, MN). I specializing in breeding Bichon Frise, Shih Tzu and Poodle toy, tiny and teacup (imperial). I chose to breed Bichons, Shih Tzus, Poodles, teddy bears (shih tzu/bichon cross) and shihpoos (shih tzu/poodle cross) because they are non-shed, hypoallergenic, small, lapdogs, good with children & other pets. They are shadow dogs who keep track of you. Other breeds need jobs & lots of exercise to be happy.
I specialize in purebreds that are not only cute, but do not make your allergies flare up. I do not want any dog in my possession that is aggressive, territorial or has qualities that require a lifestyle I can not give to it. I am proud to be ethical, I will not produce a breed that has recently become popular due to a movie or TV show to make a fast buck.
I breed to better the overall improvement of the breed. I am breeding for family pets not a fancy show dog.
Some of the traits wanted by the judges can be unhealthy or uncomfortable for the show dogs. Some judges promote qualities that I disagree with and this becomes the guideline of what other breeders follow to get the most money for their puppies. I do not want to be part of the problem. I believe in breeding for health & temperament instead of a look that may cause health issues.
I believe health first and not just looks. I have the best interests for the breed and you, the buyer in mind. Overly pushed in noses (shih tzus) and line breeding mean nothing if the dog I produce bites your children or dies of some heredity issue before its time. Even good breeders can produce unhealthy dogs on occasion. It is the law of averages.
The difference is that I, the breeder, am on a mission to find and remove those genetic defaults from my breeding lines. It is why I offer the Minnesota Health Guarantee. I rarely have had to honor the guarantee with a refund, replacement or forfeit the cost of the puppy.
We use natural methods for breeding. Nature knows best when a female is ready to breed, that is why we let nature make the decision. However is it bad timing for us then mating is not allow. We do not expose the mothers or puppies to X-rays. We do not need to know how many puppies are in the womb. We want to do all in our power to create healthy puppies so we chose not to expose them to electrical disturbances which can create health issues.
and prevents the puppy from developing bad habits (like chewing), and keeps the puppy safe. The grate keeps the puppy clean & gives it a proper place to relieve itself when you are not able to let it outside.When you purchase your puppy from ArdyWeb.com, I will go through specific housebreaking advice, feeding (diet), general care, and many other issues of puppy ownership. My eBook is the operation/owner manual and I am available for questions, now, tomorrow and for years to come.
My puppies are raised inside my very active house to socializing them to your home. My puppies experience different sights, sounds, and surfaces (wood, tile, and cement) and meet my family, friends and visitors. My puppies are not scared of their own shadows. They are well-adjusted puppies wanting to meet the world. I own the parents of every puppy on the premises.
One of the most important supplements you'll need to add to your dog' meal is calcium. If dogs had the ability to chew on a good bone every day, they would be scraping off bits of bone that then would be broken down in the their body and used to strengthen their own bones and teeth. It's the job of the parathyroid to regulate the amount of calcium and phosphorus in the blood. If a diet is deficient in calcium, the parathyroid will go looking for it in your dog's bones. When the parathyroid starts secreting extra hormones in order to balance the calcium-to-phosphorus ratio, it creates a condition known as secondary hyperparathyroidism.
This disorder can cause permanent damage to the skeletal system, arthritis, and even broken bones. Extra calcium will be excreted in the urine, but while it's in the body, excess calcium inhibits the absorption of phosphorus. So don't overdo a good thing. By diverting eggshells from the compost bin you have an inexpensive and easy solution to providing your dog the appropriate amount of calcium. It requires only a couple of teaspoons of Eggshell Powder to balance out the phosphorus in most diets and this recipe will make about 12 teaspoons, each with about 1800 milligrams of calcium.
• Once clean and dry, eggshells can be left at room temperature in an airtight container until you save enough to make a batch.
• Preheat the oven to 300F.
• Spread the eggshells evenly on a baking sheet and bake for 5 to 7 minutes. The eggshells will still be mostly white or brown, but might have a light tint, which is okay. Baking eggshells any longer can produce an unpleasant smell.
• Allow the eggshells to cool, then grind in a blender or clean coffee grinder for 1 minute, or until you achieve a very fine powder with no sharp edges.
• Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 2 months. We store ours in our freezer.
Amount to feed: Eggshell Powder should be added to homemade diets at approximately 3/4 teaspoon per cup of prepared food.
Instead of the traditional method for kenneling a small kennel without a place for the puppy to relieve itself.
I use the grate/crate method a larger kennel with a grate for the purpose of the puppy to be able to relieve itself if necessary. This is a back up planfor going outside. It works great with small dogs.
1. No need to get up in the middle of the night to let the puppy out. No standing in your robe with your hair sticking out in every direction waiting for the puppy to do its business.
2. If you want to go out with your friends after work you can. You don't have to rush home and let the puppy out.
No mess to come home to.
3. The puppy stays cleaner. No stepping in its business like they do on a puppy pad. The puppy isn't forced to lie in you know what till you come home. The Sunday paper, laundry, rugs aren't in jeopardy on your floors. Who wants kitty litter tracked throughout the house? The grate looks and feels different from most items on your floors.
The grate does not hurt their paws. The grate elevates the dog above the potential messes.
4. If the puppy spills its water it isn't wet from the spill and getting cold.
5. Smells and how it looks tells the story, just look it up in the eBook. There are no smells if your puppy is healthy. You are able to detect health problems before they require vet bills by using the grate method.
6. It is a snap to clean. Just use a scrub brush to remove debris as needed, spray with disinfectant, pull the tray out and replace the newspaper.
7. No tools needed to assemble the kennel. The kennel folds down like a suitcase for easy travel. I use 2 snap bolts for added insurance that the kennel cannot collapse.
8. I attach wheels. I do not put up with poor behavior and can easily wheel the kennel into another room without hurting my back or banging it into my walls. I can use it as a puppy playpen and wheel it where I want it. If the phone rings I can either carry the puppy with me or place it in the kennel…no chance for accidents when I am not focused on the puppy.
nor paid for working on Holidays...Christmas etc.
APRI gives the same information that other dog registry services business do.
AKC (America Kennel Club, is one of the largest and best known).
I used AKC is the past and have found APRI to offer better service in all areas.
APRI is less expensive for both you & I.
APRI returns registration forms faster and answer questions quickly and correctly.
it must be registered AKC.
Mixed breeds do not come with registered papers.
Have another person do the calm down technique.
Use 1 hand to pinch the hair on the chin to open the lower jaw.
Use your other hand- index finger & thumb to lift up the cheeks on the top jaw to see the gums.
Now you can view the teeth.
Teeth float and that is why braces work.
Shih Tzu usually have underbites.
We have rarely have had extreme issues with underbites or overbites.
If teeth needed to be removed, we would state it on the health guarantee.
to prevent vets pulling teeth unnecssary.
Why do it when it is NOT needed.
A overbite can make it difficult for a dog to pick up food/toys off a floor.

while i was playing i noticed certain people were wearing green suits and some were wearing blue and they would show up that way on the radar. this was alittle puzzling cuz me and my friends found no use for them. then we thought of a game type that made use of this.
The game would have a total of 3 teams... Blue Squad (or somthing) Green Squad, and the hidden. both squads objective is to kill the hidden, but they are both working for different country's/ agencies/ somthing. So this way they are competing against eachother and can kill eachother. things still stay the same. if hidden wins he stays as hidden. and if some one kills the hidden they trade spots.
U can kind of already do this by putting friendly fire on but u still spawn next to eachother and ur on eachothers radar.
If any one is confused at anything let me know. or if u have a suggestion to make it a cooler idea.
Pretty sure the green dots are the players that have chosen the support class.
IMO, not that bad of an idea, but i think the main reason to make a team gametype would be to open up the potential for clan-type styles.
EDIT: I remember somebody posted about an idea for a team-based gametype of the hidden that i thought was rather snazzy, i totally forget where and who... but it was dandy.
Eh, it would be too easy for the hidden.
Specifically, "Cold War" in the first post.
I have to ask... Why did you call it "Cold War"? That's like calling it "War On Terror", only, knowing the theme of the Hidden... Terror might actually fit.
Because it was a sort of nation vs. nation subversion war... thingy. Each side had a goal, and a "special agent" (The Hidden) who was trying to kill/sabotage the opposing team. The name Cold War seemed to fit given that it was for a clan based mode.
Heh, maybe I've just watched Hunt for Red October too many times.

Janice Hahn storms out of National Day of…
Janice Hahn storms out of National Day of Prayer gathering over James Dobson's abortion 'rant'
Janice Hahn. 2013 file photo.
By Donna Littlejohn | dlittlejohn@scng.com | Daily Breeze
May 1, 2014 at 11:04 p.m.
Harbor Area Rep. Janice Hahn stormed out of Thursday's National Day of Prayer gathering on Capitol Hill, saying she was outraged by what she later characterized as a "hateful political rant" by one of the speakers.
Evangelical Christian radio host James Dobson delivered strong words to President Barack Obama, who was not in attendance, over his administration's position on abortion, calling Obama the "abortion president."
"When the ranting and rambling started about Planned Parenthood, I was like, 'Are you kidding me?' " Hahn said in a telephone interview with the Los Angeles News Group later in the day. "So I stood up and shouted, 'This is completely inappropriate for the National Day of Prayer' and stormed out."
Dobson's wife, Shirley, serves as chairwoman of the event, also was among the speakers.
Neither Dobson nor his organization could be reached for comment late Thursday.
Hahn, who had come to hear keynote speaker Anne Graham Lotz, the daughter of evangelist Billy Graham, said Dobson's comments "did harm" to the bipartisan spirit in which the event, in its 63rd year, is held.
"I'm co-chair of the weekly congressional prayer breakfast," said the San Pedro Democrat, who is a Christian and also co-chairs the National Prayer Breakfast. "Every week I've tried so hard to put my politics aside and come together with people with whom I don't agree. … We pray for each other and we pray for the country. It's one thing we do to find some common ground."
Dobson, who founded the conservative organization Focus on the Family, told those gathered in the Cannon Caucus Room that before Obama was elected "he made it very clear that he wanted to be the abortion president."
"He didn't make any bones about it, that this is something that he really was going to promote and support. And he has done that. And in a sense, he is the abortion president."
Specifically, Dobson took the Obama administration to task over the Obamacare mandate that employers, including Dobson's organization, must provide insurance coverage for the morning-after pill and other contraceptives or face a fine.
During his remarks, Dobson read a letter he sent to his supporters and political leaders stating that the "assault on the sanctity of human life takes me where I cannot go," adding that as a matter of religious conviction and conscience that he would refuse to pay the fine.
Many in the audience gave Dobson a standing ovation.
Later, Hahn tweeted: "James Dobson's hateful political rant had no place at the #NatlPrayerBreakfast."
Asked about the response from the stage to her walkout, Hahn said she was seated in the back and that Dobson "didn't stop talking." She said one of her colleagues told her later that he also left the room.
"I would hope we could leave our politics at the door," Hahn said, adding that she's considering writing a personal letter to Dobson. "This was just such an affront to me personally and religiously, it was an affront to everything we are trying to do in Washington, D.C., to not bring politics into our congressional prayer (gatherings)."
Other members, she said, told her later that they also "felt blindsided by this guy."
Republican Rep. Louie Gohmert of Texas, co-chair with Hahn of the weekly congressional prayer breakfast, told the Washington, D.C., publication Roll Call that he understood Hahn's frustration.
"I can understand Janice's position and, as co-chairman of the National Prayer Breakfast, which every president has attended, we work really hard to keep politics completely out of that."
He also told the publication that Dobson's religious beliefs and stand on abortion are inseparable.
"I can also well understand Dr. Dobson's frustration because it is their believe that assisting in any way, including providing funding for abortion, is a sin. It's not something that he should support and so he felt like this was a good time to let people know what he was going through. So I understand that."

Mapa Vindové je historická národnostní rukopisná mapa. Za autora je považován Pavel Josef Šafařík. Jedná se o slepou mapu zobrazující města a vodstvo území dnešního Chorvatska, Rakouska a Slovinska. Dílo bylo jedním z podkladů k tvorbě následujících velkých map.

Popis
Mapa je sestavena na jednom mapovém listu. Její velikost je 21,8 x 27,3 cm a je podlepena papírem o rozměrech 24,8 x 33,4 cm. Autor označil arch pouze názvem v hůlkovém písmu na horním okraji uprostřed. Kromě samotného zobrazení mapa nezahrnuje žádné údaje, jakými jsou například iniciál, měřítko, směrová růžice, rok výroby, nebo jakékoliv ostatní připomínky. Mapa je slepá a rukou kreslená a znázorňuje oblasti Chorvatska, Rakouska a Slovinska. Mapové pole zaplňuje skoro celé místo. Umístění polohy sídel a hustá síť toků těchto zemí jsou zachyceny jenom černou barvou. Co se týče pojmenování měst a řek, na mapě jsou označeny výjimečně největší z nich. Především autor zdůrazňuje velkými červenými body dvě města: Vídeň a Gradec (současný Štýrský Hradec). Názvy jsou psány vázanou, obyčejnou nestínovanou ne velmi zdobnou latinkou.

Grafickými symboly jsou linie řek i potoků a tečky značící sídla. Jakost poprvé zmíněných je určena dvojitou čárou, jakost jiných vyplněním. Mapa je utvořena v černobílé stupnici. Zcela chybí zobrazení mřížky, zeměpisné šířky a délky. Nejsou označeny hranice států a název moře (Jaderské moře). Žádným způsobem není napovězen výškopis, ba i stínováním či šrafami nejsou znázorněny veškeré jiné informace.

Celé dílo se uchovalo zřejmě nepoškozené, na okrajích je opatřeno dvěma razítky.

Účel
Za autora rukopisné mapy Vindové je pokládán Pavel Josef Šafařík. Šafařík se zajímal o českou a slovenskou historii, později se jeho zájem rozšířil na celé slovanství. To bylo podnětem pro jeho práce o slovanských národech. Účelem všech prací bylo sebeurčení, upřesnění a přidání významu slovanskému národu.

Toto kartografické dílo může být použito pro studijní účely. Je slepou mapou - ( mapa, která splňuje podmínky mapy), nejsou zde však úmyslně vyznačené některé údaje a je většinou vyvedena pouze černobíle. Slouží jako doplňující učební pomůcka nejčastěji v hodinách vlastivědy a zeměpisu. V dnešní době ji můžeme použít ve školství, především na základních školách. Dnes hlavním účelem mapy je: zaznamenávání hranic států, měst, vodstva, čtení kódu mapy a přečtený kód v zeměpisném atlasu přenášejí do slepé mapy.

Q: Bash script for files in directory (backup) So, I need to write a script in bash which will backup files of directory.
Script gets files (list of files for backup) as arguments, and last argument must be target folder (directory). If target folder doesnt exist, must be created by script.
I was planning to use for loop for moving through list of arguments (files), but I dont know how to use last argument, and check if it exists.
Call of script:
./myScript.sh file1 file2 file3... fileN target_folder

Thanks. :)
I started this:
#!/bin/bash

#doing backup of files passed as list of arguments.

if [ "$#" lt "2" ]
then
    echo usage:  "./myScript.sh <list of arguments -files for backup.>"
    exit
fi
for arg in "$#"
do
    if #last argument exist as folder in directory, just copy all files in
            else #make targer folder and copy all files in

done

A: Use getopts and pass the directory as a named argument:
./myScript.sh -d target_folder file1 file2 file3... fileN

Guess Who's Fighting To Keep Indiana Dry On Sundays?
WFIU | By Sara Wittmeyer
Darron Cummings
Kyle Fronke inventories the wine in Kahn's Fine Wines and Spirits in Indianapolis last year. Only liquor stores in the state can sell cold beer, and on Sunday, practically all carry out alcohol sales are prohibited.
When you think summer, you might think of cold beer at a barbecue, maybe a bottle of wine with a Sunday picnic. A lot of people take it for granted that they can just go to the store and pick up alcohol.
Not in Indiana.
While many states have laws restricting liquor sales, Indiana is the only one where you can't buy packaged beer, wine and liquor on Sundays, and it's the only state that regulates alcohol sales based on temperature. Only liquor stores can sell cold beer.
Convenience stores are trying to change the laws, and — in a surprising twist — it's the state's liquor stores that are fighting back.
Michael Conroy / AP
A sign on a window at an Elite Beverages liquor store in Indianapolis lists the store's hours.
The convenience stores will tell you this battle is all about, well, convenience for consumers.
Right now, if residents want to kick back with a cold beer on Sundays, they have to plan ahead. That's no good for customers — and no good for convenience stores, either, says Dave Bridgers, vice president of Thorntons, a convenience store chain.
"Not having the ability to sell what our customers want impacts our bottom line," Bridgers says.
Even though Thorntons was founded in Indiana, it hasn't opened a new store in the state since 2006 — and the state's antiquated liquor laws are the reason why, Bridgers says.
"We will continue to invest in other states," he adds, "where laws are more business friendly to our company, and where it makes the most economic sense."
Thorntons has been expanding in bordering Kentucky and Ohio instead. But, along with other retailers, it has also spent the last five years lobbying Indiana's general assembly to change the state's alcohol laws. After legislation failed to gain traction again this year, these retailers filed a federal lawsuit seeking to sell cold beer.
"You don't have choice. You don't have competition," says Scott Imus, who heads the convenience store owners' trade association. "We've done extensive price surveys at liquor stores and find that they add either $1 to $2 on a case of beer, on cold or warm. I mean, Subway doesn't charge more to heat my sandwich."
You might think that liquor stores would have the most to gain from Sunday sales. So why are they fighting to keep Indiana's blue laws intact?
Because Sundays tend to be one of the busiest shopping days anyways, most consumers would rather just pick up their alcohol at the grocery store instead of making another stop at the liquor store later in the week, argues John Livengood, head of the Indiana Association of Beverage Retailers.
Livengood has been lobbying on behalf of the liquor industry for more than two decades. And he argues that allowing Sunday sales would put about a quarter of the state's liquor stores out of business. He accuses the convenience store owners of trying to do an end-run around the legislative process.
"This looks to me kind of like a Hail Mary pass, trying to get done in the courts what they couldn't get done at the legislature," Livengood says.
But what the liquor stores are really resisting is an expansion of cold beer sales, which they argue would devastate the state's liquor industry and cause about half the stores to shut down. So this battle, says Livengood, is really about money.
"They want to come in here and change Indiana's laws so they are the same as they have in a few other states. Why? Because they want to make money," Livengood says.
So liquor stores and convenience stores are each accusing the other of being a threat to the state of Indiana. Meanwhile, it's the state's consumers, who routinely drive across the border to skirt Indiana's alcohol laws, who are stuck in the middle.
From New Albany, Ind., it's a 10-minute round trip to the closest liquor store in Louisville, Ky. On Sundays, that's where nearby Hoosiers go to buy their alcohol. It's not unusual for every car in the lot to have Indiana plates, and that will likely continue unless the laws change in neighboring Indiana.

More Than 600 Head Start Programs to Lengthen Hours Under New Funding
By Christina A. Samuels — January 03, 2017 3 min read
The Office of Head Start announced Tuesday that it will distribute $290 million to 665 Head Start and Early Head Start programs around the country that they can use to expand their full school day and year offerings.
Congress appropriated the supplemental funding in a fiscal 2016 budget bill for the federal preschool program for children from low-income families, and the money is now part of Head Start's base funding, subject to congressional approval.
The $290 million adds up to about a third of the $1 billion increase Head Start has estimated that it needs to provide full-day, full-year programs for all the children currently enrolled, which Head Start defines as 1,020 hours per year. For center-based Early Head Start programs serving children from infancy through age 3, the minimum hours are 1,380 per year. Before adopting the standards in September, Head Start programs were required to operate for a minimum of 3 1/2 hours per day and 128 days per year, or 448 hours per year. Thestandards would create a nearly six-hour day over standard 180-day school year for preschool students.
A major revision of Head Start standards announced in 2016 will require nearly all programs to offer a full-day and full-year program by 2021. The standards, however, allow the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services discretion to place that portion of the standards on hold, pending congressional funding. Rep. Tom Price, a Republican from Georgia, is Donald Trump's pick to lead the department. (In 2007, Price advocated on behalf of a pilot program that would have placed Head Start under state control in up to eight states.)
The additional money was targeted at grantees that have fewer than 40 percent of their slots currently operating on a full-day and full-year schedule, said Colleen Rathgeb, the director of policy for the office of early childhood development at the administration for children and families.Programs have several options to increase their programming, including adding days to the end of the school year to shorten a summer gap, adding hours of operation to the school day, or both. The money can be used to pay for additional staff or to help provide facility upgrades for programs that are currently running double sessions. Most parents will see a change in the upcoming school year, but some programs may be able to use the funding to make changes more quickly.
A recent analysis of Head Start programs by the National Institute for Early Education Research found wide disparities in the program year for many Head Start grantees. For example, almost all Head Start children in the District of Columbia and in Georgia were served in full-day programs that last an entire school year. In Idaho and Wyoming, only 1 percent of children were in full-day, full-year programs.
Part of the variation in Head Start programs was built into the system; since its creation in 1964, Head Start has been overseen by about 1,700 individual grantees, and those grantees create programs that best serve their local communities. However, recent research has shown that children are better prepared for school in programs that last for a full school day and year, Rathgeb said. Working in critical learning skills, play, lunch, nap, and all the other important elements of a preschool program is difficult to do in just 3 1/2 hours, she said.
Head Start is also continuing to support professional development work that will allow teachers to best take advantage of the extra time, said Ann Linehan, the acting director of Head Start. "It's one thing to have children in for longer hours, but the quality of the teaching and ongoing professional development is absolutely critical," she said.

My July travels started in Nashville for the NationaLease Human Resources Summit. This year's meeting was at the Gaylord Opryland. If you've never been there, it's almost hard to explain how large the hotel is. There are huge "outdoor spaces" including a river, a waterfall, and a tropical garden that are actually indoors. After three days there, it dawned on me that I hadn't actually been outside since I arrived! The July humidity was a bit of a shock when I did actually go outside to head over to the nearby Autow NationaLease.
Autow had built a brand new facility since the last time I had visited. Autow's CFO, Randy Hooten, gave me a full tour of the new building, including their very cool break room featuring an antique truck, and some of the other artifacts collected throughout the building. They could open a museum! When I mentioned that I had never been to downtown Nashville, Randy graciously offered to drive me back to the Gaylord, via downtown Nashville, which is completely the opposite direction. Given the chance for a private tour, I eagerly accepted and Randy drove me around all the highlights of the Music City. We drove down Music Row and past historic RCA Studio B, the famous recording studio where Elvis recorded more than 200 songs. We drove down "Honky Tonk Highway," or Lower Broadway where many famous country music bars such as Tootsie's Orchid Lounge, Legends Corner, The Second Fiddle, The Stage, Layla's Bluegrass Inn, and Robert's Western World have country acts playing live music every day of the year. We also saw the venues for some of Nashville's sports teams, some of the cool public art installations, and the campus of Vanderbilt University. I only wish I had time to get out and explore some of these great places!
Just a few days after I got back from Nashville, I left for Albany, New York. Leroy Holding Company, Inc., a NationaLease Member was celebrating its 50th year in business with a cruise aboard the Adirondac on Lake George. The drive from Albany to this popular summer retreat in the Adirondacks is about 45 minutes, so I had plenty of time to check into the Fort William Henry Harrison Hotel and explore before the Adirondac set sail. The boardwalk, shops, and restaurants were crowded with tourists, but the nearby 35-acre Lake George Battlefield Park offered a peaceful respite from the crowds and a lovely venue for a long walk. The Adirondac was docked just a couple of blocks away from the hotel, so I walked down to the dock where the crowd was already starting to gather. In addition to the folks from Leroy Holding: Will and Katie Carson, John Campese, and John Reiser to name a few, I was surprised to see the DeCarolis family from DeCarolis Truck Rental, Inc., a NationaLease Member. They have been long-time colleagues of Leroy Holding, going back to the founder, Bill Brown. We had a wonderful cruise with a delicious meal, picturesque scenery, and fascinating conversation. I learned how Bill Brown started the company in 1967 with only himself and his assistant, Ven. They joined NationaLease in 1984, and are now owned and run by the Carson family (Bill Brown's grandson), with nine locations and almost 100 employees.
I recently heard a statistic that only 12 percent of family-owned businesses make it to the third generation. I am sure that NationaLease members defy the statistics. 100% of the members I visited in July are third generation! These family histories, rich in artifacts and stories, and sometimes priceless old photos, weave the fabric of NationaLease. Relationships between our members date back decades, as second and third generations continue not only the family's business, but also the partnerships with other members. The NationaLease meetings, like our Human Resources Summit and many others, help foster these relationships over the years. I remember well the first NationaLease Annual Meeting I attended and the feeling I had that this was more like a family reunion than a business meeting.
From the very first NationaLease meeting in 1944, where the groundwork was laid for the Reciprocal Service System that still keeps our members' customers on the road in every corner of North America, the commitment our members make to one another is what sets NationaLease apart from every other leasing company. From what I can see, that commitment is as strong today as it was 73 years ago. I can't wait to see how it carries into the fourth generation.

"It May Be Too Late For The GOP To Stop Trump": The GOP Is Much More Trump's Party Than Theirs
For decades, the Republican Party gave voters the impression that they get to pick the presidential nominee. The much-weakened GOP establishment theoretically has the power to choose someone else — but not, I believe, the strength of purpose to do it.
The author of this dilemma is, of course, Donald Trump. After a two-week pause in the primary schedule, Trump — a Manhattan icon — is expected to romp in New York on Tuesday and capture the lion's share of the state's 95 convention delegates. Polls show he is also likely to post big wins the following week, on April 26, in Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island.
The bigger his victory margins, the closer Trump can come to securing 1,237 delegates, a majority, and thus making all the "contested convention" machinations moot. But it seems likely that when all the primaries and caucuses are done, he will fall short. Let's say, for the sake of argument, that he comes to the convention with around 1,100 delegates — far more than rivals Ted Cruz and John Kasich. What happens then?
The Cruz campaign has worked tirelessly, and quite successfully, to ensure that as many delegates as possible are Cruz supporters, even if they are pledged to vote for Trump on the convention's first ballot, which presumably would be inconclusive. In subsequent rounds of voting, those delegates would be free to switch to the Cruz side — and ultimately give him the nomination.
To pull this off, however, Cruz would need the support, or at least the acquiescence, of party insiders — who dislike Cruz almost as much as Trump. Many leading Republicans believe, in fact, that Cruz, with his hard-right views, would be an even surer loser in November than the unpredictable Trump, who is unburdened by philosophy.
I have heard veterans of GOP smoke-filled rooms make the argument this way: If the party is going to incur the wrath of primary voters and caucus-goers by nominating someone other than Trump, why pick a candidate who will most likely lose to Hillary Clinton, the likely Democratic nominee? Why not pick someone who has a fighting chance with independents, such as John Kasich? Or even a "white knight" such as House Speaker Paul Ryan (who made clear last week that he does not want the nomination)?
I have also heard prominent Republicans argue that the convention delegates will have what amounts to a fiduciary duty to choose a candidate who is fit to serve as president. Trump's volatile temperament and ignorance of policy, according to this view, make him ineligible.
And then there's the political calculation. Some GOP graybeards believe the party is unlikely to capture the White House with any nominee. But Trump's massive unpopularity with the wider electorate — about two-thirds of Americans view him unfavorably, and a recent Associated Press poll of registered voters found that 63 percent said they would never vote for him — could threaten the party's Senate and House majorities. Cruz, Kasich or a white knight might lose without dragging the rest of the ticket down with them.
All of this is fascinating to ponder, at least for those who love politics. But I wouldn't bet on any of these scenarios. I believe that if Trump comes anywhere close to a delegate majority, the party leadership caves and he gets the nomination.
Trump would have to be deaf, dumb and blind not to see what's coming. In recent speeches, he has staked out the position that the candidate who comes to the convention with the biggest number of delegates should be the nominee, period. Polls show that a majority of Republicans agree with the helmet-haired billionaire. It turns out that once you tell people they get to choose their standard-bearer, they don't take kindly to being patted on the head and told to go sit in the corner.
Trump's newly hired convention manager, GOP veteran Paul Manafort, accused the Cruz campaign of using "Gestapo tactics" to steal delegates. Trump said Sunday that, gee, he sure hopes there's no violence in Cleveland if the party establishment tries to take the nomination away from him. Not that he would ever suggest such a thing, of course.
As I said, all of this is moot if Trump wins a delegate majority outright. But if he narrowly misses the magic number, I don't believe the debilitated establishment can muster the solidarity it would need to deny him. At this point, I'm afraid, the GOP is much more Trump's party than theirs.

I don't know what the GOP is at the moment. Whatever it is, it does not resemble good governance or stewardship, in my view. As a former Republican and Democrat, I find the party increasingly narrow-minded and on the wrong side of more issues than not, but that is merely my opinion.
