Our German Shepherd had a lot of bowel issues such as a lot of soft stool. It made her itchy and made her fur dingy and dull. It also put her in a bad mood and she was very lethargic. We did raw food for a while but she lost interest and it wasn't very appetizing to her. The next thing was NomNomNow and The Farmer's Dog but NomNomNow had the best prices in terms of giving it all in a month and they had great feedback. Their tester pack also helped out. Our German Shepherd has had trouble gaining a little weight and she has lost weight since she got older. But she gained two pounds which was our goal. She eats all the food and has no allergies. We just signed up to put our teeny Yorkie-Terrier mix on NomNomNow also.
We find though that we usually have to cut the top of the pack rather than doing the peel back. The packaging is okay but sometimes the peel back ends up taking the sticker. Also, we visited The Bay a couple of weeks ago and we were wondering if there was a pop-up shop. We called customer service and left a message but we didn't get a call back until 8 pm and by then, we have bought some crappy fresh food from Wow. They should have gotten that feedback to us sooner so we could have planned around it. But overall, our dog's health is the biggest thing and our dog has done such a 180 with NomNomNow, so we're very happy.
I have a 14-year-old Maltese who has always been under five pounds. He's little and I wanted to be sure I was giving him something healthy. He also struggles with hard food because his teeth have never been great. NomNomNow seemed like the next best thing. I figured he would like the chicken and I got that. And he definitely loves the food. Not only does he do well with this but he has gained weight too. For the first time in his 14 years, he weighs a little over five pounds. He seems to be healthier and he has plenty of energy. He is bouncing around my house and almost back to his little puppy self again.
The food is a little expensive though. Because he's so small, I get the little packets and I'm spending about $80 a month. I have been buying it for about four months. But I don't know how long I can do it because I'm retired. Nonetheless, I've been very pleased with NomNomNow. It comes right on time every time. I even got the extra packets for the time we had bad weather, when there was snow everywhere, in case shipping was slow. The experience has been excellent.
A good friend's dogs are on the NomNomNow dog food and he talked about how they had been improving. I have a 13-year old Golden Toydoodle, and I wanna do the best for him as well. We've been purchasing NomNomNow dog food for probably two months, and we are rotating his formulation every couple weeks. They did the beef to start with and then I asked them for the chicken. Now, he has gone back to beef. Feeding my pet natural ingredients is very valuable, although quite expensive. With the NomNomNow food, his coat is beautiful and he has a little more energy.
I have two small mixed breeds, a Maltipoo and a Yorkipoo, and my father was decided for NomNomNow. My dogs are very finicky and they went through it quickly. Although, I cancelled my subscription because my dogs stopped eating it (happens with almost every food I buy), my experience with NomNomNow was excellent.
My cat was having issues with store-bought pet food brands and so I decided to try NomNomNow. It's been a little less than two months since we started but my cat already seems to have more energy now.
I looked at the different pet food brands and tried two brands. I decided to use NomNomNow because their food isn't as mushed up as some of the other ones. I've been feeding my 14-year old miniature Schnauzer with it for a month and a half now and he has been eating the other food too. He seems to be going good. I would recommend NomNomNow. I'm in the process of trying all their food types. I've tried the beef and the chicken, then I'm gonna try the turkey and the pork next time.
I've purchased NomNomNow for three months and they were great. They got healthy options for my dog, and I like that they disclosed all the ingredients used. They use human-grade ingredients. It was easy to use, and they have website information for the vet. However, I stopped with them last week because of the cost. I cannot afford $300 a month for dog food.
How do I know I can trust these reviews about NomNomNow?
There was an offer through an earning site called Swagbucks. I have been hearing that a raw food diet is better for cats and for dogs as well, so I thought I'd give NomNomNow a try for my cat. She is about 11 years old and I've had her for a couple of years. She is a high strung kitty. She is a tuxedo kitty and she's got a beautiful, thick fur coat. She's a short hair and what I've noticed since she has started this diet is she has been much happier and her coat is very sleek and really lovely. She is very adamant about getting her feedings twice a day like she is supposed to, and she gets them because I don't wanna be on her wrong side, and it seems to be working very well for her. When I'm out of town, I have to leave people to supplement with a bit of dry food as well, but for the most part, she is completely on the NomNom diet.
Initially, I chose the fish only and my cat was all for it. It was interesting because I've tried to give her fish and other things before, but she just turned her nose up and wouldn't eat them. She loves NomNomNow. She could have mixed one, so I also got the chicken one and I alternate that -- chicken once a day, fish once a day -- but she has something else to eat every day. Initially, she turned her nose up at the chicken and it took her a little while to eat it. She has started eating it, but it isn't really necessary for her to have that diverse of a diet. It is also more expensive to have the mixed delivery rather than just the single, so I may go back to just doing the fish for her.
My cat seems to be very happy with NomNomNow. She is still skittish, but she seems like a happier kitty and she really wants to go after I feed her. She wants to go back outside and get back on her little perch and be the watch cat that she is for our back porch. Also, I have noticed the significant difference in her coat. She has gotten a little healthier and a little rounder looking with the diet. I also noticed that she is more playful now, so I am happy to see that change in behavior for her.
I am very happy with the product. They are on the little pouches and I just empty it out and rinse them out and throw the plastic in recycling. It is a really easy thing to do. My kitty seems to take to it very well, so it has been a positive experience overall. There is no small amount of ribbing that I am receiving not only from family members, but other people about it. It is a Cadillac diet. I am now feeding my cat for a price because it is definitely more than what I spent on cat food in the past, but I figured it is worth it for her and it really helps her overall well-being. It is a win-win for everybody. I've had cats in the past who developed kidney problems from being exclusively on a dry food diet.
I have been using NomNomNow for a couple of months now and it has been great. They have very good customer service. The quality of the food I have received has also been very good and I love its packaging. At first, however, it was really hard to feed the food to my terrier. I had to mix it with other food. She doesn't like the turkey variety and unfortunately, I got a ton of that the first time so I'm still trying to finish it. Things seem to be getting better though but I'm still trying different flavors to see which one is the best for us.
My dog has a lot of skin problems and allergies. I tried every dog food out there but NomNomNow's food is homemade cooked and has great reviews. I've been purchasing from NomNomNow for two months now. It is very valuable to feed my dog with natural ingredients. He has a lot of problems since we got him and I'm not having much success with my vet. So, I'm trying to do things without medication for my dog. NomNomNow is great and so is their pet food. I'm very happy with them.
I have two sheltered cats and I've been using NomNomNow for six months now. Over other pet foods, it's the one thing on the internet that I could find that has the ingredients that I was looking for. My experience with them has been good and we recommend them.
I have two Labradors and I needed to change one of my dogs' diet from raw to gentle cooked. At the time, NomNomNow was one of the only companies I could find that was offering it. I've been purchasing them for a year now and they've been helpful in doing portion adjustments. My experience with them has been great. They have been responsive whenever I've had questions or issues. They've made some mistakes, but they've also corrected those and reimbursed me for them.
I have two dogs, one is a Chow-Lab mix and the other is a Corgi mix. I wanted them to have something fresh, and I looked under consumer reviews and NomNomNow was highly recommended. I'm rotating the turkey, the pork, the chicken and the beef so my dogs get a variety. NomNomNow sends it to me frozen, which I appreciate because in Phoenix, it gets very hot and you don't want something sitting out very long. You can also skip a date if you're travelling, which I do sometimes, and you can go to half portion or order every week or every two weeks.
My corgi is real finicky, and so sometimes she loves it and sometimes she doesn't. But my Lab mix loves it so I'm real happy. Plus it's human-grade which makes me feel better about it. Sometimes I open canned dog food and I wanna throw up. It's disgusting and you don't know what's in it. With NomNomNow, my dogs seemed like they had a lot more energy at first, and now they're doing well.
My Yorkie is super-picky and I have to alternate his food because he gets tired. As soon as I put the plate down, whenever he hasn't had a certain food in a while, he devours it but then, he gets sick of it easily. I tried the NomNomNow chicken and he didn't like it but he devours the Hearty beef flavor, so I went with that. Although I didn't notice the shiny coat that I was told that I would notice, he doesn't have a problem on his coat. His poop is better and he got skinnier. He was a little overweight and I was able to control his weight with NomNomNow. Their customer service is amazing. I told them about my dog being so finicky and they sent me the flavor flakes. They weren't for sale at the time and they sent me a small ziplock bag to try for free. They told me to sprinkle it on the food. They went above and beyond.
I've been using NomNomNow for three and a half months now. Our dog somehow was allergic to the batch of turkey that we got and we replaced it with beef. Then, I tried to put my account on hold but I had a bunch of billing issues. Also, a shipment was sent to me that was not supposed to be sent. It was a disaster and it was totally unprofessional. No one ever picks up the phone.
One of my major complaints is two of our friends have a better price than we do. As a retailer, you're only as good as your price, to a degree and if I have two people that have the exact same product that are paying 20% less than me, that doesn't make me happy. It really put a bad taste in my mouth. When I called NomNomNow to discuss this, they told me incorrect information initially or they just flat-out lied to me. Then finally, a manager got on the phone and told me exactly what was happening and that people were, in fact, paying less than me for the same exact product. But it took two weeks to get that information through six different phone calls. The product itself is great but the back office customer support is horrible. Administration, billing, customer support and feedback need a lot of work. I have credit with them, so I'm gonna be forced to utilize that but if there was any competitor with the same kind of product, I would jump on that.
I have a five-year-old dog and I used to do home-cooked meals but I got tired. It was a long process sometimes. I picked NomNomNow to try and I've been purchasing it for about a year now. He's getting a mixture. He gets all four of the flavors for variety. I tried doing raw and he wouldn't take it. I did cooked meals and he loved it but I just couldn't have time to keep doing that all the time, so feeding him fresh food is definitely best. He seems to be doing great with the NomNomNow and I don't have any issues at all with him.
I have been looking into wet food versus dry for a couple of years now to avoid the kidney and urinary issues that I'm experiencing with my cat. I don't think canned food is the best option. Instead of keeping them on can all the time, I found a better option. Feeding my pets natural ingredients is very important to me and I have been purchasing from NomNomNow for about three months. My cats have been solely eating NomNomNow, but if there is ever a gap between orders, I use cans. My only feedback with NomNomNow is the portion consistency. I've noticed that there seems to be a wavering amount in the packages. Some have bigger pieces and others have more in it sometimes. The packaging is also tough to open sometimes, but you can always use a knife with it. I look for minimal recycling or recyclable packaging.
With NomNomNow, all of the food was portioned out, so I just had to open the bag, and that was the portion for his size and weight. I really like that. The quality of the food was good too. The only thing that I saw in the ingredient that was kinda surprising to me was the salt. My dog has food allergies and the salt was also something that contributed to his allergies. So that's why I had to stop the food. Otherwise, I love the service. It was great. It was so convenient and the pricing was fair too. But NonNomNow just didn't have a lot of options for me and my dog.
We've been very happy with NomNomNow and my 50-pound dog loves it. We've tried out some of the other freshly made food and we've cycled through their competitors but he has been happy with NomNomNow, so we're still with it. The packaging could be reduced a little bit though. It's a lot to get rid of. It doesn't need all the padding since it's mushy food. Other than that, the company's customer service has been very responsive. So, all good. I wish they cost less, but I kinda understand why they're not.
I had been feeding my dog with real food and decided to give NomNomNow a try. My dog is a small Terrier mix and she's three years old. She has a good appetite and enjoys eating it. There are a couple of varieties that she's not fond of, but there are a couple that she loves. There would be times where I put a kibble down. She would go for two days without eating if you put kibble down. But I always keep some on hand just because it lasts. And if you need something in a pinch, there is at least some kibble. I want the freshest and best ingredients. Feeding my dog with natural ingredients, there are benefits to her coat, energy and continued appetite. Her health seems to be good. The NomNomNow product is fresh and is already portioned out. I like that. It's also similar to what I would cook, but I don't have to go to the store to buy it.
I was feeding my dogs Merrick and a mixture of hard food before. I read things and I thought that it was healthier if I give them wet food instead of dry. Also, I wanted to try out one of the more organic types of food. I got NomNomNow's services and my two King Charles Cavalier Spaniels seem to love their food right away. They love it more than any food they've ever had. Both of them seem to be a lot healthier now too. One of the dogs was a little underweight before and I could barely get her to eat once per day. With NomNomNow's food, she eats twice a day and she can't wait to eat the food! Also, she's at a perfect weight now. The natural ingredients are super valuable and I would never go back to what I was feeding the dogs before. I would definitely recommend NomNomNow to anyone who's looking to switch to soft or organic food.
We were doing refrigerated dog food and NomNomNow was a convenience of not having to physically pick it up because they deliver it. I have a little Shih Tzu and a Lab, and within a couple of weeks of feeding them, my Lab's coat has looked really good. The chicken is all that I've gotten them and they seem to like that. We were in Colorado last week so I had them at their little puppy day care and I sent the food with them. Everyone was really interested and they wanted some information on it. The food has definitely appealed to everyone. I like that it's fresh and that it has good ingredients. I also like that I could see a huge difference in my dogs' coats. The Shih Tzu has curly hair, and the Lab's coat is really sleek and shiny. We've been really pleased and I would recommend them.
My dogs used to eat Rawbble, but I wanted to get them something cooked and not just the regular dog food that you buy and eat from the bag. I have five dogs, and I feed four of them with NomNomNow. Each dog has different favorites, and I order four different types of food. I don't order turkey though because there's rice in there and I don't like them to eat rice. However, I might have to cut down a bit because it doesn't look like they're losing weight. Maybe NomNomNow could come up with some formula that is low fat.
I didn't put one of the dogs on NomNomNow because she has skin problems. She has too much yeast infection, so she cannot eat their food because her skin would start to break out again. I wish NomNomNow could have more protein in their formula because more protein is better if the dog has a yeast problem. Or they could have a formula for dogs that cannot eat too many carbs. I would choose that formula if NomNomNow had that, but for now I have to stop the order for her because they don't have a formula for that kind of dog.
I've been feeding NomNomNow to my 10-pound, male Papillon Shih Tzuh for about six months now. He likes chunks versus ground meat. And I get the chicken one. I like that NomNomNow is fresh and not kibble. My dog used to have stomach issues but he doesn't have them anymore. He's more active, alert and energetic. The only thing is I can't stand NomNomNow's packaging. They come in boxes bigger than they need to be. It's environmentally not friendly. And on top of that, the insulation is so thick on the inside packaging. It feels like I'm throwing away a blanket every shipment I get. So, I try to get one shipment a month and just freeze it, even though it's preferred to have it fresh. The packaging used to be much better. It was in a small box with the aluminum thing that you can throw away. But now, it could be more efficient. Plus they use dry ice, which is fine, but it's overkill.
Our three year old York tried NomNomNow in my friend's place. He was eating with pleasure, so we also decided to try and since then, we have been ordering it. But now, we are mixing it with other food because he cannot eat it all in the morning. Sometimes, I'm not happy with the quality of the food. There are more potatoes in the beef portion rather than beef. I was surprised a little bit. Also sometimes, it's a little smaller than the other packages. It's always different, and I have different experiences. Other than that, everything in my experience with them was fine.
We've been purchasing from NomNom for about four months now. We decided to go with them because they were all-natural and fresh food. I have a Havanese and I usually get a variety, but I get the ones that have the ground meat in them. He liked everything with the sample pack but not so much the chicken because the chicken isn't ground. It has more chunks in it. With the other ones, the meat is ground and he seems to like that better. It seems to be doing well for him. It seems like his coat got a little shinier and he seems healthy. He doesn't have stomach problems and doesn't have issues with throwing up or anything like that. But I wouldn't really recommend it for somebody who has a big dog. If you have a big dog who eats a lot of food, then it could get pretty expensive. But for a smaller dog, which is what we have, it's doable.
My dogs had started with NomNomNow since April of last year. I have two small mixed breed dogs. One is seven pounds, one is 11 pounds. And I wanted to put them on something other than kibble. I went with NomNomNow because they're based outta Oakland and I wanted to support local businesses. My dogs have an Instagram account and I've had other companies reach out to me but I haven't jumped on that. I like having someone local, from whom I get weekly deliveries which makes me feel better versus freezing the food and thawing it out later. It's also super easy that the food come in pre-portioned packaging. All you have to do is open the package and put it in their bowl, and it's done. Whereas with other companies, they come with a measuring scoop and there's more mess and fuss over it.
Furthermore, their customer service department is excellent and that keeps me as their customer. They've always been very responsive whenever I contact them. My dogs have also been liking their food and have done really well on it. I do a rotation of the various recipes that they have. There's beef, chicken, turkey and pork. So, they get one recipe per week. I have recommended NomNomNow to other people and they have also subscribed to it.
My Labradoodle is about to be nine months old now and she was never too fond of kibble. She also had some gastro problems going on, so we had to choose a very specific kind of kibble for her. I was always looking for solutions to figure something out so that she might eat well. I was exploring the human-grade food option and I came across NomNomNow's website, and then read through the reviews. And what appealed to me the most was that their packaging was per meal. So, it's hassle-free.
The first time I bought the food, it seemed that my pup was hungry and looking for more food towards the day. And then, I reached out to customer service to see what I can do to get more food that is more filling for her. I contacted them a second time about one kind of food that was less and it turned out that it was intentional. The turkey food is more caloric compared to the other foods. I've been buying this food for exactly two months now and my pup definitely likes it much, much better. I've never had her finish her food before she moved on to NomNomNow. And this food, she finishes it all. She's waiting for it. The bad thing, though, is the smell that comes from her mouth. She definitely smells more because of fresh food. The other thing is, because she's eating vegetables, her poop has remains of carrots and peas. It's not necessarily a bad thing but it's sometimes alarming to see something red in the poop. And then, you're like, "No, that's fine."
I usually ask for two weeks' worth of food but last time, I asked for a month's worth and I felt that their dry ice wasn't enough. The top layer of the food was completely thawed, and that's about 14 packets, because the dry ice was at the bottom. I think they resolved that and they're gonna put the dry ice on the top instead. And tomorrow, I'm gonna receive my first delivery since that change. I would definitely recommend NomNomNow to other people.
I have three cats and two dogs and feeding them natural ingredients is valuable. I give them a particular NomNomNow for allergies. But pretty often, I reach out to their customer service when they do not fill the order correctly. Also, NomNomNow puts too many rubber bands on the food and it rips the packages open constantly which causes a lot of problems.
NomNomNow has good and fresh food I'm buying for my Miniature Schnauzer. I have two dogs now and waiting to put the other dog on it eventually. She's a little over a year now, but we have a lot of kibble still left over, so we're just waiting for that to run out. Also a dog's system has to get used to the new type of food. Sometimes they don't react to it in a positive way and we're not ready to put her on it just yet.
With NomNomNow the dog's hair looks nicer. They get a better overall nutrition and I know that the regular kibble food is not the best type of food. I know that dogs have been eating it for many, many years, but I'm hoping that with me feeding my dogs the nutritional food that I am, their life will be a little bit longer, and they'll be happier. For us specifically, we don't always eat the same food, but at the same time, as long as we eat something healthy, then we'll be better off. So that's the way I look at it with my dogs. And I would recommend NomNomNow.
I have an 11-pound Poodle-Bichon mix. He's 13 years old and he likes NomNomNow. I've been buying it for two years and I like that it is fresh and delivered. It's consistent and it is super valuable to feed my dog natural ingredients. NomNomNow is totally worth the effort and the price.
My Shih Tzu was having allergies to food, so I got NomNomNow and tried it, and it's been great. She used to have an orange face, but since I switched the food, she's got a beautiful face.
Availability: NomNomNow offers delivery to the 48 contiguous states.

Options: NomNomNow offers dog food (beef, turkey, chicken, pork, egg & veggie), dog treats (human grade chicken or beef jerky) and cat food (fish, chicken).

Rick Rieder who oversees $ 1.7 trillion as chief investment officer of BlackRock's global bond division (BLK), said at a briefing on Wednesday that bond investors had to rethink their management strategies when the Federal Reserve began to raise rates and exit its quantitative easing mode, creating an "extraordinary" period for the market.
Using longer-dated bonds as a means of hedging a portfolio's equity risk is a popular strategy that may not work as well, Rieder said. A risk parity strategy of balancing equities and bonds and neutralizing risk with tools has generated a return of around 8.2% over the last decade, but a 6.9% decline since beginning of the year.
One of the reasons is that long-term bonds have been affected this year. The Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index is down 1.61 percentage points since the beginning of the year, but those who took a duration risk were hit harder. The long end of the curve is down by four percentage points, while the one to three year portion is down only 0.21 percentage point.
To cover the risk, Rieder said investors should invest in riskier options rather than using tools to manage that risk. What other popular strategies may not work as well? He also distinguished the volatility of sales, which he described as using tools to earn income or risk spread and taking more credit risk to get a return.
"The story of the year shows that the short end of the interest rate curve has increased and the markets have underestimated the importance of this deal," Rieder said. Now investors can earn two-year Treasury bills, for example, without having to take a lot of risk, whether in terms of credit risk or international risks.
And the risks are many. Rieder, who still fills his presentations of paintings, has highlighted a particular: the growth of the US deficit while the US economy is doing well. "You do not usually see that, so the question is how are we going to pay for that, which is a big problem for the fixed income markets," he said, pointing out that the debt needed for finance US growth and what the market the issuance of net debt by the US Treasury will have historical value.
This feeds his outlook: Rieder expects that much of the growth resulting from recent fiscal stimulus, such as tax cuts, will be anticipated. In other words, he expects growth to be strong in the short term, even if a recession could occur in 2020 or 2021. Although Rieder expects a pickup in inflation, he says growth will not be as fast as some hope. Some fear that the Fed will increase its rates at a rate of five rises, but expects three to four rises a year.
For Rieder, to earn money in bonds, one must now stick to short-term bonds and take a risk by holding emerging market debt. Not only is this part of the world less indebted than most developed countries, but valuations remain attractive enough for investors to be compensated for taking the risk, he says.

Yeah so me and all my friends who are 18 men were gonna get tinder gold all at the same time. And mine was $15 my other friends were $30? And then they could get tinder plus for $10. All they wanted to do was see who liked them. Then y'all were like for another $23 on top of the $10 they paid they could see who liked them. Y'all are a joke. Then I look up and I'm not the only one. Y'all are charging everybody different prices. I go to look up where to call you guys. And wait... y'all don't have a customer service. What. A. Scam.
Can we get more filter options?

Child Sex Offender

Just so y'all know what y'all are getting to, I met a guy that was completely okay with child pornography. DON'T DO IT!!

This app is terribly optimized.
Banned for no explanation
By Trowe0706dakota
Literally there is no reason to download this app, your better off meeting in person. Also when you are perfectly fine one day, and then the next they ban your account, not run. Until I get an explanation on why my account is ban, then this will ultimately be the worst dating app ever.
Blocked for no reason. No appeal
By JAGTrav
They blocked me from the platform for "violating terms & conditions". I never did anything against their policies. They refused to let me appeal, and couldn't even inform me of what "violations" I did. Extremely frustrating for someone who did nothing wrong.
Welcome to the Demise of Tinder, people.
By JadaNycole
I find it quite puzzling how Tinder chooses who to ban. After using the app for over 5 years in various states, I also find it extremely puzzling that after I move to a new state I mysteriously get banned. For the 5 years I have used Tinder I have had clean and quite productive fun. I've made friends, I've networked, I've never had problems. My intentions on the app had not changed, yet on today I have been "banned." It's hilarious to me how you all focus on blocking a people so use your sorry app every few days to exchange innocent chat ranging from Steven Universe to college degrees, meanwhile accounts with nude photography, in appropriate language, and creepy threesome-hungry couples stay active regardless of how many times they've been reported Tinder has their priorities mixed up and it's evident. The company lacks the capacity to engage in customer support so even writing this review may be pointless. Keep up the stellar work guys. Maybe you can partner with ChristianMingle for your next app endeavors.

Ripped off $100 by the app
By tekatomon
I clicked on the one month subscription and got charged for the 6 month subscription. Now I tried to cancel, but conveniently for them they have no customer service they tell you to go through apple but then apple says to go to the developer. I guess this is one way to get f..... on tinder right.
Needs to be upgraded and updated
By anthonysamuels15
This app is not so bad but the people on the app are. I've used tinder and had a girlfriend from tinder and it was great honestly. Now that we're together anymore, I thought I'd get the same results. Nope, I was terribly wrong. There are a couple things ruining your app and I need to specify this in bullet points. 1. Why am I seeing dudes and dykes (lesbians) on my stream when I'm clearly a heterosexual male?: This app needs some upgrades because this is my number one issue. I'm clearly a male who strictly likes women. When I'm swiping why do I see men and why do I see women who like other women only? I'm not homosexual and I've set that as a preference as well; Also set me to see women who are either bi and actually interested in men instead of women or woman who are strictly interested in men. 2. Why are there people looking for friends when this is a dating app?: I'm tired of seeing this all the time. There are so many females on here that are looking for friends and that NEEDS to be addressed. People are actually looking for relationships or a hook ups on this app. The people who want a serious relationship, the people who want to hook up and the people who don't want a relationship at all (just want to be friends) need to be separated immediately. 3. E-begging Instagram and premium Snapchat thots problem needs to addressed.: I matched with a girl who was trying to get me to pay for her premium on Snapchat. First off, why would I want her to pay for her premium when there's pornhub. Second, those e-begging scam artists need to be banned from your services. stop allowing people to put their snapchats in the bio and ultimately make everyone strictly use your messaging system that you just updated. And if anyone gets reported more than five times gets banned. 4. This is my last complaint: allow people to see who has like them for free.: people to don't use tinder plus should at least get that courtesy. You don't allow them to rewind, super like and they are subject to a certain amount of swiping per day. I understand but this is something that I just wanted to put in the air. Overall, this app has potential but there are problems and it irritates. I not only see them but I experience these problems and I would honestly use the app more if these problems were addressed. Thank you.

Methamphetamine labs are being found more in Somerset County than in previous years, said Cpl. Dennis Ulery, a supervisor on the Pennsylvania State Police Clandestine Lab Response Team.
"Last year we had a 40 percent increase statewide and we are on pace with that this year, or possibly ahead of that," he said in a telephone interview.
The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration reports that 96 methamphetamine labs were found in Pennsylvania and 11,210 were found nationally in 2012. Southeastern states have had the most labs discovered.
Ulery will present a program on how meth is "cooked" and the dangers associated with it at 6:30 p.m. May 29 in the Meyersdale Area High School auditorium. Somerset County Drug-Free Communities is coordinating the event because of recent meth lab busts in Meyersdale and Somerset. Other sponsors are the Somerset Single County Authority for Drug and Alcohol, the Twin Lakes Center for Drug & Alcohol Rehabilitation and the Pennsylvania State Police. The event is open to the public.
"Methamphetamine is extremely addictive," Ulery said. "The chemicals are easily accessible and it is easy to process — and highly dangerous. The likelihood of a fire or explosion sometime in the person's career of cooking meth is very high. They will burn themselves or burn something down."
One step of the process involves manufacturing a crude hydrogen chloride gas generator. In the final stage of the process, deadly hydrogen chloride gas is present and poses a severe health risk to the person making the methamphetamine and those who live in the same residence or nearby.
At the community meeting, Ulery will explain the warning signs of a nearby meth lab and how people can tell if others are using the synthetic drug.
Erin Howsare, director of the Somerset Single County Authority for Drug and Alcohol, said she is encouraging people to attend the meeting to learn to identify the signs that a meth lab is being operated so they can call the police to take appropriate action.
"We also hope that parents and teachers will be aware of the signs that children may be living in a home where meth is being cooked," she said.
Methamphetamine, known as speed or meth, can cause psychotic behavior, hallucinations and strokes when used over a long period of time. Howsare said that meth users often don't sleep, which can lead to psychosis, and people using or making meth may have open sores on their bodies from chemical burns. Meth use, like other drug use, can lead to additional crimes as the drug user needs money for more drugs. Pennsylvania State Police Sgt. Greg Keefer said in an earlier interview that at least 90 percent of crimes committed are linked to drug use.
Ronna Yablonski, prevention coordinator at the Twin Lakes Center, said that there are many problems that communities across Somerset County have to face — drug use and abuse, unfortunately, has to be one of them.
"We cannot ignore the problems that drug use causes to our communities, families, children, schools and businesses," she said. "As concerned citizens of the county, please come and learn all you can about methamphetamine — a very dangerous drug that is having an increasing presence in our county. The more educated the public becomes, the more the problems can be addressed and curtailed."

Check out our video preview of all the artists and presenters announced so far:
After exploding onto the world's radar with over 165 million views of their unique cover of Gotye's 'Somebody That I Used To Know,' Walk Off The Earth have made a name for themselves in their own right. Listen to their latest single above and get a taste of this band's musical potential with their individual, contemporary sound.
He's rugged, some might even call him bad-ass, and he can play a mean tune on the fiddle. In a world where this stringed instrument is not so often heard, Ashley brings the listener back to the folk arts, blending traditional Celtic compositions with a rock 'n' roll flair. Hailing from Nova Scotia, this artist will get your feet stomping and the crowd jumping with his electrifying performance.
Brothers Matt and Mark Hill share the stage just as easily as they share a musical brain. They come from just outside the jazz mecca of Kansas City and their sound is laid-back with funky, techno beats and fueled by the swing of Basie, the birth of Charlie Parker's bebop, and the wild frontier of electronica.
Adham Shaikh
Shaikh skillfully weaves organic and electronic sounds into global music tapestries that take listeners on sonic journeys transcending time and place. His style is an alternate worldly mix with positive, meditative sounds set to funky drum beats.
Aspen Switzer
Singer Aspen Switzer captivates with her pure and powerful voice which brings life to the subtle poetry in her lyrics. She has evolved a style that is her own, but her influences range from folk to country and bluegrass to rock and jazz. Aspen effortlessly builds a rapport with her audience, showing them her humour, authenticity and humanity.
Baskery
Baskery's aim is to never stop surprising. The band is a trio of sisters and they're all about turning the music on its head, blending the straightforwardness of punk with the subtlety of singer/songwriting. They have an individual sound and perform with inexhaustible energy.
Buckman Coe
Bridging the worlds of roots, soul, and reggae, Vancouver's Buckman Coe is a passionate believer in the power of music to shape the future. His sun-kissed folk, gospel-tinged soul, intoxicating world-beat melodies and psychedelic rock sensibility all play a part in providing the sonic platform for Coe's soulful and conscious lyrics.
Dominique Fraissard
Dominique Fraissard hails both from the long hot highways of Australia and the mountains of Canada's west where he now resides in the North Slocan Valley. There is a timelessness to his folk and roots style music and his acoustic guitar tunes complement his earthy lilt and urban edge.
Greg Hill
Revelstoke's Greg Hill has a passion for ski mountaineering and he shares his experiences as a motivational speaker. Named one of the Top 25 Fittest Guys in the World 2011 for climbing and skiing two million feet in a year, Greg has set records and established many firsts on mountains the world over.
Welcome to the weird and wonderful pop world of Toronto-based band Grounders, with dreamy, reverb-drenched intros and space-age guitar melodies. For every catchy hook and lush arrangement of their tracks there is a woozy counterpoint that keeps things slightly off-kilter.
Toronto's Highs have been rapidly building momentum with their upbeat, feel-good pop music. Influenced by time spent travelling, their EP is a collection of songs that reflect on growing up, the concept of home, and spirituality. Their show is tight and calculated while remaining true to the whimsical nature of their songs.
Jamie Andrew
Despite losing his hands and feet at 29, Jamie Andrew has persevered with his love of life and mountaineering. The tragedy occurred when he and fellow mountaineer Jamie Fisher were trapped for five nights on a stormy, icy summit in the French Alps. Fisher did not survive but Andrew went on to relearn and succeed at walking and everyday daily tasks. He has since succeeded in sports and mountaineering.
Six String Nation
What does it mean to be Canadian? Six String Nation is one guitar that embodies the spirit of Canada. The guitar is made from 63 items of real Canadian history and heritage in wood, bone, metal and stone representing different cultures, communities and characters from every province and territory of the country. This guitar has traveled more than 200,000km across Canada and has been played and held by hundreds of musicians.
Les Copeland
One of British Columbia's finest blues artists, Les Copeland is primarily self-taught and his unique sound has developed out of a rich mixture of influences including blues, jazz, Spanish flamenco, pop and classical music. From down home Delta to uptown Chicago blues, Les can improvise anything.
Little Hurricane is an American rock and dirty blues duo, based out of San Diego, California. Singer/guitarist Tone Catalano and drummer/vocalist C.C. Spina's influences include Van Morrison, Dead Weather, Gorillaz and The Beatles. Their stripped-down brutal energy brings a live sound that is raw and honest.
The Nyundo School Road Show
In 2014 Canadian musician Jacques Murigande (aka The Mighty Popo) quietly checked out of the Canadian music scene, and with the support of the Rwandan government, began the task of establishing the first public music school in Rwanda. Located in Nyundo in the Rubavu district of Western Province, the Nyundo School of Art and Music encourages confidence and musical expression. Axis Mundi Harvest is honoured to be able to showcase a group of hand picked and exceptionally talented students from Nyundo at this year's festival in Revelstoke.
Rachelle van Zanten
Known for her powerful live performances and equally powerful social activism, the acclaimed Canadian slide guitarist/singer pulls no punches in her latest album 'Oh Mother.' Expect socially conscious lyrics with dirty guitar riffs and soulful singing in a way that neatly captures the essence of her northern British Columbia origins and the the issues the region currently faces.
Rodney DeCroo
Raw and vulnerable, Rodney DeCroo's recent music is a result of tumultuous battle where he struggled with PTSD. His acoustic arrangements are powerful and fragile.
Severn Cullis-Suzuki
At the tender age of nine, Canadian Severn Cullis-Suzuki recognised that society and ecology were in conflict so she started the Environmental Children's Organisation with her friends, which was committed to learning and teaching other kids about environmental issues. Today Severn believes that science and media communication is important for informing global change for future generations.
Sherman "TANK" Doucette
Bluesman Sherman Doucette was a staple of the Vancouver music scene for 30 years. Now this harmonica virtuoso resides in Kelowna with a new band and mixes the blues classics and originals with his typical passion and conviction. In 1977, he survived a massive explosion in a lumber mill, which left him in the hospital for six months recovering from burns to 50% of his body earning him the name 'Tank'.
If the Clash, Pink Floyd and Arctic Monkeys are three beads of sweat that meet rolling down your back, Sticky Fingers are there licking it up. It's this raw Aussie humour that bonds Sydney band members Dylan, Paddy, Seamus Coyle, Beaker and Freddy. STIFI is a melting pot of reggae, psych, pop and their debut album, Caress Your Soul, dropped in March 2013, with multiple charting singles and a spot on JJJ Hottest 100.
Tequila Mockingbird Orchestra
This acoustic ensemble has wandered from the underground of bohemian Victoria, in Canada's lush west coast, to a new, refined sound crafted by years of constant performing and touring together. Drawing on flamenco flourishes from Spain, to African percussion, and American bluegrass and roots music, their sound is distinct, eclectic and earthy.
The Walkervilles
Soulful and groovy, The Walkervilles are a Motown/Rock influenced group from Windsor, Ontario. Musicians Pat Robitaille, Mike Hargreaves and Stefan Cvetkovic seamlessly fit together like a sexy bowtie and a perfect-fitting suit. In the sweet heaven height of these songs, you'll close your eyes and pretend Robitaille's singing to you, that Hargreaves' wants you home with him while he writes you a love song, and that Cvetkovic's drumming his fingertips on your lower back.

This month we'd like to share Joe Dean's customer story with you. Joe has not only one, but two successful businesses – Joe Dean Photography and Joe Dean Clothing. Having worked for several years as the regional manager for a leading textile manufacturer, in 2013 Joe decided to try something different and set up his own business.
We sat down with Joe to hear the story behind his businesses, and also to gain some insight into what life is like as an entrepreneur.
At what point did you decide you wanted to go it alone and become an entrepreneur?
I was at a party one night and ended up having a long discussion about why I didn't sell my own photos, or make my own line of clothing. At that point I'd been working in the clothing industry for 12 years and had been involved in photography for over five.
The next day I couldn't get the thought out of my head and things quickly developed after that.
Could you tell us a little more about your business and your work.
I'm a freelance photographer and also run my own fashion label – Joe Dean Clothing. You can buy the clothes from my online shop.
The online store more or less takes care of itself now, and I also have a partner who takes care of the delivery side of things. As for the photography, a lot of that works by word of mouth and relies on me being proactive.
Of course I know I'm also really fortunate to be able to turn my hobby into a career. It's a luxury not everyone is lucky enough to have.
That really depends on how many photo shoots I have booked in so it's impossible to define a "typical" day. I do, however, get up at 8 am every morning and check my emails. 9 -5 doesn't really apply, I'm always doing something work-related. I tend to do most of my work together with my girlfriend.
How does Zervant help you in your day-to-day work?
I came across Zervant about three years ago, when browsing online. After having tried it out a bit I felt it was exactly what I needed. It means I can work from anywhere, and have access to all my financial data, whenever I need it. I can store customer information, and create all the relevant financial reports.
How many hours do you think save a week by using Zervant?
I save at least five to seven hours a week with Zervant.
More often than not new customers find me! But I'm always on the lookout for potential co-operation partners and ways that I can boost my business. Social media is also essential.
What are your greatest achievements so far?
I don't like talking about one big achievement, I think it is much more important to be consistently successful. Of course through the nature of this type of work you also get to know a few celebrities and business contacts.
But the best thing for me is still that I am free to manage my time and work as I see fit.
In a word, no. There are always odd things here and there that you would differently if you had another chance. But it's a lot more important to learn from errors and move forwards rather than dwell on the past.
What's the best piece of advice you have for aspiring entrepreneurs?
Take your time. Work on business ideas and develop them thoroughly. For me it was essential to get feedback on what I was doing from the people I saw as potential customers. This information was worth its weight in gold.
In five years time I'd like to have my own studio, a large space where I can work on all my projects and photo shoots. That's one of my biggest dreams. Let's see how it goes!
Thanks Joe, best of luck with everything!

Police using a chainsaw to execute a warrant.
Three men were arrested after police simultaneously executed five warrants in the Milford Haven area last week.
The warrants were carried out under the Misuse of Drugs Act in the Steynton Road and Mount Estate areas, on Thursday, April 11.
The action was taken in response to concerns raised by the public about the supply of drugs in the Milford Haven area.
Of the five warrants, four were positive. Three men, aged 28, 55 and 53, were arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of a controlled drug, and have now been released under investigation.
A 19 year-old woman was also interviewed, and admitted possession of cannabis.
Inspector Roger Smith said: "A quantity of drugs was recovered during the warrants, and a Volkswagen car with no tax or MOT was also seized from outside one of the addresses.
Anyone with information or concerns relating to drug misuse is asked to contact police by calling 101, or call the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.

(CNN) — The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Thursday increased the risk level for cruise ship travel to its highest level and said it should be avoided, regardless of vaccination status.
The agency bumped up the travel risk level for cruise travel from Level 3 to Level 4, indicating the risk for Covid-19 is "very high."
The move "reflects increases in cases onboard cruise ships since identification of the Omicron variant," the CDC website says.
"Since the identification of the Omicron variant, there has been an increase in the number of COVID-19 cases among cruise passengers and crew reported to CDC. Additionally, there has been an increase in the number of cruise ships meeting the COVID-19 case threshold for CDC investigation," the agency said.
In addition to including cruise travel in its wider list of travel advisories looking at countries worldwide, the agency has created a color status classification for cruise ships.
On December 30, the agency listed 91 ships in its yellow category that indicates that the volume of Covid cases reported has met the CDC's threshold for investigation. That's five more ships than were listed as yellow on December 28. On December 30, no ships were listed as red, which indicates that reported cases are at or above the threshold for investigation.
Three ships were listed as orange on December 30, indicating that reported cases are below the CDC's threshold for investigation. Sixteen ships were listed as green, meaning that the ships had no reported cases of Covid-19.
Green, orange, yellow and red designations indicate a ship's Covid situation from best to worst. A gray designation is reserved for ships that the CDC has not reviewed for Covid safety.
Decision is 'perplexing,' industry association says
Cruise Lines International Association, a trade association, expressed disappointment at the CDC's elevated risk level.
"The decision by the CDC to raise the travel level for cruise is particularly perplexing considering that cases identified on cruise ships consistently make up a very slim minority of the total population onboard -- far fewer than on land -- and the majority of those cases are asymptomatic or mild in nature, posing little to no burden on medical resources onboard or onshore," CLIA said in a statement.
The association said that "cruise ships offer a highly controlled environment with science-backed measures, known testing and vaccination levels far above other venues or modes of transportation and travel, and significantly lower incidence rates than land."
At least four ocean cruise ships were turned away from ports of call or were prohibited from letting passengers disembark in the Americas this week because of Covid-19 cases aboard.
A statement from the U.S. Travel Association also indicated frustration with the CDC's advisory.
"The U.S. Travel Association sincerely hopes today's CDC advisory singling out recreational cruise travel -- enacted despite the sector's robust health practices and high rate (95%) of onboard vaccination -- is brief and temporary," said the statement from Tori Emerson Barnes, the association's executive vice president of public affairs and policy.
Advice if you decide to cruise anyway
While the CDC says to "avoid cruise travel, regardless of vaccination status," it advises those who do travel on a cruise ship to make sure they are fully vaccinated and boosted, if eligible. People who go on a cruise should also get tested one to three days before their trip, and three to five days after, regardless of vaccination status.
The unvaccinated should also self-quarantine for a five full days after. People on cruise ships should also wear masks in shared places, CDC says.
Most cruise lines are requiring all or the vast majority of passengers and crew to be vaccinated, in compliance with a CDC Conditional Sailing Order that was implemented to allow cruise operations to resume more than a year after the industry came to a standstill at the start of the pandemic.
Many cruise lines also require pre-departure testing, regardless of vaccination status.
Some lines, including Royal Caribbean, require all passengers 2 and older to be masked in indoor public areas, except while actively eating and drinking.
Before coronavirus variants brought a rise in breakthrough cases among the vaccinated, some lines did not require vaccinated passengers to wear masks in areas reserved for vaccinated guests.

At around £300,000, the Adler Legacy is one of the largest gifts gratefully received by the Region. The project work is based in Oxford and builds on a successful Take Part initiative in the area, as well as many years of WEA community development work. We have been able to employ a full-time Development Worker, and over the past couple of years have developed a successful Community Branch and provided activities for building volunteer support in deprived areas of Oxford City. There is an annual Adler Legacy event which includes a lecture and showcases of the WEA work in the area. The first event was held on the 18th of May 2012 at Oxford Town Hall. You can see some pictures from that event on our Facebook Page.
Fred and Catherine Adler were both lifelong socialists and trade unionists with a passion for equality and belief in the transformative power of education. Cath's family were of German origin but she was born in Holland and came to England as a young girl at the outbreak of the First World War. Cath was from an upper-middle-class family who moved to the USA when she was in her teens. She decided to stay in the UK with her uncle who funded her through Oxford University in the 1930s. She went on to teach for the WEA in Leeds and Hull during the war, and was appalled by the poverty she encountered. After the war she threw herself with added zeal into teaching adults, particularly trade union courses, and that's where she met Fred. Fred, a Jew, came to the UK from Germany before the Second World War to escape persecution by the Nazis. Her work became their life. They returned to Oxford in the late 50s and Catherine took up a post as Staff Tutor in the University's Extra-Mural Department. Throughout the 60s, at the height of the Cold War, they led trips to East Germany and Russia to study literature, language, culture, history and politics. Her life - and this work in particular - inspired a short biography entitled Towards International Understanding.
The first work supported by the legacy was a joint project with Ruskin College to design and make a community mosaic for their new building in Headington, Oxford.

But how complete is our picture of the lives of ancient people? Imagine archaeologists a thousand years in the future uncovering the following articles from the present time: a wristwatch, a videocassette, a plastic cup from a fast-food restaurant, a skateboard, and a toothbrush. (1) What conclusions do you think future scientists could make about our lives in the present day? Any conclusions would be based only on the objects found. (2) With so few objects to study, they could not develop a very clear picture of what present-day life is like. For the same reason, modern scientists have generally not been able to get a complete picture of daily life in ancient times.

Vom 16. bis 20. August 2017 findet fünf Tage lang die nunmehr fünfte Neuauflage statt. In diesem Jahr dreht sich alles um die Contemporary Arts. Mit dabei sind unter anderem Broken English Club, Equiknoxx und Mick Harris. 1982 wurde das Atonal von Dimitri im SO36 gestartet. Zwischenzeitlich gabs ne Pause wegen eines Clubs namens Tresor :-) und 2013 folgte die Neuauflage im Berliner Kraftwerk.
Vom 20. bis 24. August werden die Hallen des Kraftwerks hinter dem Tresor mit exzellentem Techno beschallt. Neben Cabaret Voltaire, Tim Hecker, Millie & Andrea und Sendai können sich Freunde technoider Elektronik auf echte Schmankerl freuen. Das erste Atonal Festival datiert aus dem Jahre 1989 und fand im SO 36 statt. 23 Jahre später bringt Gründers Dimitri Hegemann das Atonal Festival zurück. Die Atonale startet mit einem Konzert vom Ensemble Modern, das mit 18 Musikern Kompositionen von Steve Reich zum besten geben wird. Außerdem ist Milton Bradley, bekannt geworden mit der Eventreihe Grounded Theory dabei. Samuel Kerridge und Oake, sowie Headless Horseman werden ihre ersten Live Shows spielen.Neben audiovisuellen Installationen von James Ginzburg und Donato Dozzy & Nuel ist auch ein Auftrittt von Cabaret Voltaire angekündigt.
The final calendar for Berlin Atonal 2013 is now confirmed!
Our packed day-program includes a conversation between Jon Hassell and Karl Lippegaus, a screening and discussion presented by Christoph Dreher (Die Haut), two intriguing Electronic Beats panels featuring William Bennett (Cut Hands), Russell Haswell, Phillip Sollmann, Dimitri Hegemann and more, a workshop on sound design hosted by Ableton, a soundtour of the powerplant led by renowned sound artist Sam Auinger as well as an NK curated day focusing on the interface between graphics and sound which features a presentation by Roc Jiménez de Cisneros (EVOL) and much more.
The powerplant will also be reactivated with installations running on the ground floor from 1400 daily and will include specially commissioned works from ANTIVJ, David Letellier, Daniele Antezza and Giovanni Conti (Dadub), Daniele de Santis (Grün) and Grischa Lichtenberger.
Five nights of aftershow parties round out the calendar with some of the biggest names in electronic music (Moritz von Oswald, Juan Atkins, Thomas Fehlmann, Powell, DJ Deep, Shifted and many, many more).
Festival Passports are available for €100 and allow full entry into Kraftwerk for the duration of the festival, including for the five aftershow parties (normally €5 each).
The legendary Berlin Atonal festival returns to the capital of innovative music after a 23 year hiatus.
The history of Berlin Atonal begins in November 1982. Set up at SO36 in Kreuzberg, the Atonal festival became ground-zero for altogether new forms of musical experience; Einstürzende Neubauten, Sprung aus den Wolken, Malaria, Notorische Reflexe, Alu, White Russia, Didaktische Einheit and many other like-minded musical pioneers used Berlin Atonal to launch their entirely novel ideas about the possibilities of sonic expression.
Now, in 2013, Berlin Atonal returns updated to a city that has itself changed. However, the spirit remains resolute: to resist the trends of the mainstream, to provide platforms for experimentation, to support those who want to break with trite and lazy habits of watching and listening.
Atonal's new home – Kraftwerk Berlin – is a long abandoned powerplant in Berlin Mitte, a mazy industrial complex that will host 6 days of world-class musical events and large scale audio-visual installations as well as streetfood and a full catalogue of seminars, lectures, master-classes and screenings.
In these new surroundings Berlin Atonal will remain true to its tradition of promoting innovative concepts in music and art, which has become a renewed imperative in a technological age that struggles to find authentic and thus truly inventive modes of expression.
The theme for the first edition of the relaunched festival is «Forming Space», paying homage not only to the starkly majestic architecture of Atonal's singular new home and its public re-emergence after years of abandonment, but also to that basic and vital impulse of all art, namely, the desire to give form to the void.

Back to School and Public Education
The following survey was conducted by Abacus Data on behalf of the Canadian Teachers' Federation, from August 16th to 19th 2021. The survey was conducted online with a sample of n=2,000 general population adults in Canada. Additional reporting information can be found here.
As back to school begins for students across Canada now is a good opportunity to reflect on public education in Canada- both the importance of equitable access to public education and how a strong public education system can have a positive impact for all of us.
Last month we conducted a survey on behalf of the Canadian Teachers' Federation (CTF/FCE) on public support for public education, and how public education can work to build a better Canada. Here's what we found.
First, ensuring all children have equitable access to quality publicly funded public education is important for nearly all Canadians, but few think this is currently a reality.
Access to public education appears to be one of those issues that unite Canadians. We find that 95% of respondents believe it's important that all children and youth have access to high-quality publicly funded national guidelines. With a number this high, it's clear that public education is a priority for almost all of us, making it one of those rare issues that unite Canadians regardless of age, region or vote.
But for an issue that is important to so many Canadians, there is still work to be done. Nearly the same number (83%) are concerned the current state of equitable access to public education across Canada.
Next, we find that Canadians aren't just prioritizing public education because of the current realities, but because it's part of our national identity. When we think of institutions that are quintessentially Canadian health care might be one that comes to mind. But for many of us public education is also at the top of that list.
In the same survey, we found that 89% consider high-quality publicly funded education to be part of our Canadian identity.
Public education is linked to our national identity in many ways. For one, it's important for our quality of life. Nearly all respondents (94%) agree with the statement 'high quality publicly funded education is important for our quality of life'.
For many of us, public education is part of who we are as Canadians and has an impact on the quality of lives we lead.
Finally, we find support for public education because of its ability to repair social cracks. During the pandemic, many students across Canada were unable to access in-person learning. But this wasn't the only thing children and youth were missing out on.
The experience through the pandemic taught us just how many other services and supports our public education system delivers, from the mental health and social development supports provided through in-person interactions, and extra-curricular programs like breakfast programs. It is through the lessons taught by the pandemic perhaps, that Canadians see the value in public education beyond education itself, and as a way to provide social supports.
In our survey we found 91% of respondents say providing all children and youth in Canada with equitable access to quality K-12 public education can help reduce poverty in Canada over the long term.
Our research shows a strong majority of Canadians agree that equitable access to public education is so important to our identity, to our quality of life, and to our future. But upon reflecting on this year and beyond, many are concerned that this isn't the reality for all children and youth in Canada.
At a time when many children and youth are heading back to school for the first time in a while, it's clear that we want to ensure all children and youth have equal opportunities to access public education.
Nearly all Canadians see public education as something that is important for all of us- it's an important pillar of our collective identity, crucial support for those living in poverty and an institution to invest in and build a better Canada for us all.
The following survey was conducted by Abacus Data on behalf of the Canadian Teachers' Federation. The survey was conducted from August 16th to 19th with a sample of n=2,000 general population adults in Canada.
A random sample of n=2,505 panelists were invited to complete the survey from a set of partner panels based on the Lucid exchange platform. These partners are typically double opt-in survey panels, blended to manage out potential skews in the data from a single source.
The margin of error for a comparable probability-based random sample of the same size is +/- 2.17%, 19 times out of 20.

Colors of Afghanistan
by Steve McCurry
"A landscape might be denuded, a human settlement abandoned or lost,
but always, just beneath the ground lies history of preposterous grandeur. . .
They are everywhere, these individuals of undaunted humankind,
irrepressibly optimistic and proud.
– The Carpet Wars, Christopher Kremmer
Band-e-Amir
If my heart trembles
for Kabul,
it's for the slow step of summer noons,
siestas in my father's house which,
heavy with mid-day sleep,
still weighs on my ribs…
It's for the hawker's cry
of the vegetable seller doing his rounds,
lost in my neighbours' troubled dreams,
that my heart's trembling.
– Shakila Azizzda
Pul-e-Khumri
Yet even at their most turbulent, the Afghans have tended to impress
travellers with their dignity and hospitality as much as their fierce independence.
– William Dalrymple, author of Return of a King: The Battle for Afghanistan 1839–42
Mazar-e-Sharif
Afghanistan/Pakistan border
Qala-e-Sabzi
In Afghanistan, you don't understand yourself solely as an individual.
You understand yourself as a son, a brother, a cousin to somebody,
an uncle to somebody.
You are part of something bigger than yourself.
– Khaled Hosseini
Every street of Kabul is enthralling to the eye
Through the bazaars, caravans of Egypt pass
One could not count the moons that shimmer on her roofs
And the thousand splendid suns that hide behind her walls.
– Saeb-e-Tabrizik

Steve McCurry has been a one of the most iconic voices in contemporary photography for more than 30 years, with scores of magazine and book covers, over a dozen books, and countless exhibitions around the world to his name.
Born in a suburb of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; McCurry studied film at Pennsylvania State University, before going on to work for a local newspaper. After several years of freelance work, McCurry made his first of what would become many trips to India. Traveling with little more than a bag of clothes and another of film, he made his way across the subcontinent, exploring the country with his camera.
It was after several months of travel that he found himself crossing the border into Pakistan. There, he met a group of refugees from Afghanistan, who smuggled him across the border into their country, just as the Russian Invasion was closing the country to all western journalists. Emerging in traditional dress, with full beard and weather-worn features after weeks embedded with the Mujahideen, McCurry brought the world the first images of the conflict in Afghanistan, putting a human face to the issue on every masthead.
Since then, McCurry has gone on to create stunning images over six continents and countless countries. His work spans conflicts, vanishing cultures, ancient traditions and contemporary culture alike - yet always retains the human element that made his celebrated image of the Afghan Girl such a powerful image.
McCurry has been recognized with some of the most prestigious awards in the industry, including the Robert Capa Gold Medal, National Press Photographers Award, and an unprecedented four first prize awards from the World Press Photo contest, to name a few.

Schooling our children at home is becoming a necessity in this world of immorality, chaos, and a lowered standards. Many parents desire their children to have a higher quality of life than what the world has to offer. Homeschooling requires parental commitment to making children and home top priorities. As home school parents, we are called to have a genuine walk with God, academic skills, and experience in the practical duties of life.
This series shares some practical ideas on how to put your household on a schedule that includes not only your children's academic activities, but also practical household duties. Children need to develop physically and academically, and also learn to be members of the family team. Only with God's leading can we direct our children and bring them up to stand firm while others compromise.


At Lane Tech High School over the past year, more than 150 students accessed real-time data from some 500 sensors in order to learn about problem solving, design, measurement, data analysis, the scientific process and teamwork. Thanks to the "Array of Things" — a partnership of private-sector leaders, the University of Chicago and Argonne National Laboratory — there is great hope that this program will continue at Lane Tech and even expand throughout Chicago.
Let's consider what would happen if that expansion were sped up. What if tomorrow Chicago's approximately 500,000 students all had access to such a program? What if there were a million or more sensors involved in collecting data that could be used to address a wide array of civic challenges? How could children on the West Side conduct experiments with sensors from schools on the lakefront through a connected network? Where would data be stored, secured and shared so that residents anywhere in the city could participate in creating solutions? What kinds of dashboards could be created to share the findings?
NBC5's Charlie Wojciechowski talks with the City of Chicago's Chief Information Officer Brenna Berman about a bold experiment that uses sensors around the city to collect data.
By taking advantage of the city's impending investment in new streetlights this past year, Catlett's innovative vision recently came to life this week as Chicago began installing the revolutionary sensors. Dubbed the Array of Things, Catlett's initiative should provide an unprecedented snapshot of Chicago.
Alert Chicagoans may have already spotted the strange bundles of wires and gear on a growing number of light poles across the city. Designed to mimic the shape of weather stations, these odd additions to the streetscape look a little bit like stacks of white plastic ashtrays. But these sensors, packed with tools to collect data about environmental conditions, represent the future of urban research. Chicago's Array of Things, an ambitious vision to collect and share city data on a micro and macro level, and potentially reshape how we formulate urban policy, is now live.
Last week, two small white fixtures, each a bit bigger than a human head and looking like an upside-down stack of Tupperware bowls, were mounted on lightpoles at Damen and Cermak and Damen and Archer. Inside the fixtures are environmental sensors, designed to measure air quality, weather conditions, light, vibration, and magnetic fields, plus a microphone for detecting decibel levels and a camera capturing still frames. (A Bluetooth modem that caused some concern a while back has been scrapped.) Small Linux-based computers process the data and pass it on to Argonne National Laboratory.
Chicago this week began deploying sensors on light poles to monitor, photograph and listen to the city. The effort is costing as much as $7 million, and may be the largest urban data collection of its kind once all 500 nodes are in place.
The beehive-shaped nodes have an array of sensors with enough onboard computing capability to conduct data processing on the device and minimize the amount of bandwidth needed to transmit data.
The Array of Things (AoT) will collect streams of data on Chicago's environment, infrastructure, and activity. This local, open data collection can then be used by researchers, city officials and software developers to study challenges such as air pollution, flooding, traffic safety and assessing the nature and impact of climate change.
