In most action movies, you often see people carrying guns without a holster. While this might seem pretty easy, this is quite impractical and very dangerous. Carrying a gun holster along with your weapon is really important and makes sure that your safety isn’t compromised.
Recently, the gun holster has become a popular addition particularly for those who carry guns. A friend of mine wrote an article on 1911 holster and ranked the best 1911 holsters in the market. Not only do the holders let you keep the gun easily, but they also help to extend the life of the gun. Mentioned below are some more reasons because of which you must carry a gun holster.
1.- It keeps the gun stable
Keeping a gun in the pants without any holster sags the pants and doesn’t keep the gun too stable as well. In fact, your gun might just slip down your leg if you don’t use a holster. On the other hand, when using a holster, the gun stays stable and at the same place so that you can easily pull it out without it being in the wrong direction or without it slipping away.
2.- It prevents constant unloading and loading
Unloading and loading the gun is quite dangerous, which is why you need to be very careful. A general rule of thumb is that the lesser time you have to load and unload your gun, the safer it will be for you. By using the holster, you can lower the number of times you would have to unload and load the gun. After your day is over, you can easily take out the holster with the loaded gun and keep it in a secure place.
3.- It helps to conceal the gun
Generally, the holsters put another layer of bulk to the carry setup you have concealed underneath your clothes. However, the bulkiness of the holster is compensated by the shape deformation. A holster is shaped such that it breaks the lines of the gun and makes it look similar to a cell phone. Moreover, with the holster, you can also elevate the height at which the gun sits on the hip. As a result, even if your shirt rides up a bit, your weapon stays concealed. In such an event, you won’t expose your gun; instead, only the clip of your 1911 holster will be visible.
4.- It provides comfort
It is a known fact that carrying a gun brings along physical discomfort. Holsters do a great job at making the gun a little more comfortable for carrying. Some of the 1911 holsters are designed in such a way that it distributes the weight of the gun over a greater area. Moreover, the holster also acts as a barrier between the gun and the body because of which you won’t have to feel the metal rubbing up against the skin.
Choosing the right holster
Today, holsters are made using many materials and are available in various shape. It is crucial that you choose a holster that suits all your needs so that you enjoy maximum comfort and safety while carrying your chosen firearm.


2019 Sloan Research Fellow Al-Hassanieh interviews with The News-Gazette
ECE ILLINOIS Assistant Professor and 2019 Sloan Research Fellow Haitham Al-Hassanieh recently interviewed with Paul Wood, staff writer for The News-Gazette, to discuss topics including IoT, the Systems and Networking Research Group, MRI, and patents.
Al-Hassanieh was one of the 126 recipients of the 2019 Sloan Research Fellowships and researches designing systems and algorithms for wireless networking and mobile sensing, often associated with the Internet of Things (IoT). He describes IoT as the "idea of connecting every and all devices to the internet regardless of their size and functionality. From small temperature and humidity sensors to smart fridges and self-driving cars."
Al-Hassanieh also leads the Systems and Networking Group which researches collaboratively with industry partners to tackle problems directly relevant to cloud computing, big data, software-defined networks, IoT, and more. Within the Systems and Networking Group, Al-Hassanieh focuses on designing new systems and protocols for next-generation wireless networks. With more than 14 GHz of unlicensed spectrum which is more than 200 times of what they have been using for cellular and Wi-Fi, Al-Hassanieh proclaims that the "opportunities are endless."
Regarding challenges associated with his research, Al-Hassanieh commented that because of how "the signal attenuates very quickly and the radios must use very directional antennas to extend the range, this makes it very hard to accommodate mobility and have seamless connectivity." Al-Hassanieh is also affiliated with the CSL.

WIND FOR THE SOUTH POLE AND MARS
Inside (literally) wind turbines meant to work at the South Pole—and Mars; Ars visits Northern Power Systems to learn what goes into their wind turbines.
Scott K. Johnson, November 30, 2015 (Ars Technica)
“…[In 1993, NASA gave a grant to Northern Power Systems (NPS) to build a wind turbine] that could reliably work at the South Pole…[and] potentially provide power for human exploration of Mars, and the National Science Foundation was interested in some electricity at its South Pole station that didn’t require flying in fuel. NPS set about tackling both challenges…A few years later, a 3 kilowatt turbine was spinning away at the South Pole…Northern eventually scaled up that design to a 100 kilowatt turbine that could help power a small community…[Its direct drive turbines need no gearboxes and with permanent magnets] get at least as much power as a traditional geared wind turbine…These powerful permanent magnets require rare earth elements [but NPS] was able to leave out some of the more expensive elements…” click here for more

Wanting clear, beautiful looking skin is a natural desire. After all, we all want to look and feel our best! On a daily basis, social media bombards us with various product suggestions to help us maintain healthy and youthful looking skin. Between recommendations for retinol, hyaluronic acid, vitamin C serums, dermablading, microneedling … this torrent of beauty advice can prove quite overwhelming and, at times, confusing to know what’s right for us and what isn’t… but curb those thoughts! There are some active ingredients that are suitable for everyone, and that actually live up to the hype!
We’re talking about niacinamide: an active ingredient that has actually been around for years, yet somehow remained somewhat under the radar (it may have something to do with it being a little hard to pronounce!). Now, before you write it off as just another overrated ingredient that’s being marketed to beauty addicts (guilty), let’s explore why this ingredient has gained so much attention and why it is loved by so many.
For those of you that aren’t quite sure what niacinamide is, we’ll be breaking down exactly what this ingredient does, why it is beneficial, how to apply niacinamide the proper way and finally, any possible downfalls to using niacinamide incorrectly.
So, let’s dive right in!

What is Niacinamide?
Don’t be put off by its hard-to-pronounce, intimidating name! Plainly and simply, niacinamide [pronounced nahy-uh-sin-uh-mahyd] is a water-soluble form of vitamin B3 which is specifically used for skincare, and known for its soothing and healing properties.
Its benefits are so wide-ranging that adding it to your skin care routine is essentially like taking a daily multivitamin. As it seeps deeply into the skin, its antioxidising properties allow it to work its magic from within. Niacinamide helps to moisturise the skin, reduces skin inflammation in moderate acne and makes your face feel more supple and retain its youthful glow. Best of all, niacinamides can easily be used in conjunction with other active ingredients and can easily be incorporated into your existing routine, without unpleasant reactions.
Whilst our bodies do not produce niacinamide of their own accord, we do absorb niacin through the foods we eat, and our bodies have the ability to convert the niacin we consume into niacinamide. Niacin can be found in a variety of foods that make up a healthy diet, including beans, fish, grains and meat. In applying niacinamide topically, we’re giving our skin that extra boost that can take a healthy glow to the next level. Don’t just take our word for it – there are plenty of studies that have been carried out to support the use of topical niacinamide use that make for an interesting read!
What are the Benefits of Niacinamide?
Paula Begoun, founder of Paula’s Choice, says that ‘topically, niacinamide has so many ways to help skin it’s mind boggling‘, and here are just a few:
- Niacinamide promotes the natural production of keratin (a structural protein found in your hair, skin, and nails), which keeps your skin feeling and looking youthfully firm
- It strengthens the skin barrier, thus retaining moisture and shielding the face from environmental damage
- Prevents (and even fades!) hyperpigmentation by evening out your skin tone and retaining your skin’s natural lightness
- Minimizes any redness on your skin
- Regulates sebum production
- Rebuilds healthy skin cells
- Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Protects against oxidative stress and helps repair damaged DNA
- Treats blemishes
- Minimises large pores, and tightens relaxed pores
Who Should Use Niacinamide?
Anybody and everybody should add niacinamide to their skincare routine! It is suitable for all skin types, even those with sensitive skin, and is especially beneficial for those who suffer from rosacea, observe redness on their skin or are particularly prone to breakouts.
The one thing that your skin type will determine, however, is which form of niacinamide you should use. For example, dry skin types might prefer to combine niacinamide with hyaluronic acid for that extra boost of hydration, while oily skin types might like to use a niacinamide product that also contains salicylic acid. Similarly, dry skin types may prefer to incorporate niacinamide into their skincare routine through a rich moisturiser or hydrating toner, whilst oily skin types may prefer a lightweight serum or gel.
How to Apply Niacinamide
How you apply niacinamide will very much depend on the niacinamide product being used – of course, the way you apply a niacinamide toner is not the same as you would apply a serum or moisturiser. Our advice is to always refer to the instructions that come with the product to ensure that you are reaping the benefits.
According to certified dermatologists, the best way to achieve results is to use leave-on niacinamide products; such as toners, serums or moisturisers, and apply them twice a day. As mentioned earlier, the niacinamide products you choose to use will vary depending on your skin type. Remember, you can use more that one niacinamide skin care product in your routine!
You may choose to use a hydrating toner with niacinamide right after cleansing and patting your skin dry, followed by a niacinamide serum and/or moisturiser, before locking it all in which an oil of your choice. The important thing to remember is the order in which the products are applied – cleanser, toner, serums, moisturisers, oil. Thinnest to thickest, and finish with oil as the final step in your skincare routine.
Here are a few commonly asked questions about combining niacinamide with your existing skincare products.
Niacinamide and Hyaluronic Acid: Can they be Used Together?
Definitely! These two water-based ingredients’ respective qualities complement one another nicely and work together to deeply hydrate your skin and retain its suppleness. Niacinamide encourages collagen production, whilst hyaluronic acid enhances the skin’s elasticity. Both of these treatments have excellent humectant abilities that, when paired together, work hand-in-hand to trap moisture into the skin in order to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
How Should You Layer Niacinamide and Hyaluronic Acid?
First, apply hyaluronic acid on a clean and cleansed face both morning and evening, so as to effectively rehydrate your skin after cleansing. Layering the niacinamide on top will help regulate any excess sebum production and avoid breakouts. Finish off by applying your choice of moisturiser.
Alternatively, you may apply niacinamide and hyaluronic acid at different times of the day. Perhaps, you may want to use hyaluronic acid in the morning to maintain your skin’s hydration, and niacinamide at the end of the day to even out the texture of your skin. Your skin, your schedule, your choice!
Can You Use Niacinamide with Salicylic acid
Salicylic acid is possibly the most popular Beta Hydroxy Acid (BHA) on the market and you might be wondering if this blends well with niacinamide. The answer is yes! Both of these ingredients have anti-aging properties and help to prevent the development of acne.
You’ll find that pairing these ingredients together successfully controls sebum production, making this an ideal combination for people with acne-prone, oily skin or combination skin. The salicylic acid actively fights against blemishes, whilst the niacinamide ensures that your skin retains that moisture – which is essential in maintaining the skin’s elasticity and youthful glow.
There are two ways of layering these two ingredients:
- Start by applying an exfoliating toner enriched with salicylic acid. This will wipe away the dead skin cells, help clear away excess sebum and heal blemishes. Then, use a niacinamide serum to lock in the skin’s moisture and ensure long lasting hydration.
- Alternatively, you may start by applying a niacinamide serum and follow this up by applying another serum enriched with salicylic acid.
How to Layer Vitamin C and Niacinamide
Like niacinamide, vitamin C comes with its own list of skin care benefits and is a powerhouse in and of itself. It has potent antioxidising properties that protect the skin from free radicals caused by exposure to UV rays and is essential for collagen production.
There have, however, been various misconceptions with regards to combining these two ingredients in your skin care routines. For years, many had written off this combination as problematic, stating that these two ingredients counteract each other or that using both ingredients together may lead to skin irritation.
Luckily for us, recent studies have proved these reports as outdated, and confirmed the safe pairing of these two ingredients. What is not advisable, however, is to purchase one product that includes both vitamin C and niacinamides. Vitamin C is known for being pretty unstable and is a tough ingredient to formulate in a product, so it makes sense not to upset it by combining it with another active ingredient in the same bottle.
If you prefer to use a niacinamide toner, allow it be fully absorb into your skin before applying your vitamin C in the morning. If using a niacinamide booster or serum, apply whichever is thinnest first (whether that’s the vitamin C or the niacinamide) and allow enough time for the first to be fully absorbed before applying the second! Everyone’s skincare routine is different and personal to them, so work niacinamide into your routine however it makes sense to do so!
Niacinamide and Retinol
Niacinamide and retinol are also two very compatible ingredients! Niacinamide promotes ceramide production, which aids in the skin’s resilience against more potent ingredients such as retinol. Additionally, niacinamide’s anti-inflammatory properties lower the risk of possible irritation from the retinol.
If you want to include both in your skin care regime, you’ll find products that combine both of these ingredients for an easy way of applying both ingredients at once. You may prefer to use separate products, in which case you should apply the niacinamide first to help protect the skin, followed by the retinol. Remember that retinol increases your skin’s sensitivity to UV rays, so if you are going to use a 2-in-1 niacinamide and retinol product, ensure that this is only used in the evening.
We’ve combined a list of choice products that include niacinamide. Whilst you might not want to use all of these products at once in order to take advantage of other active ingredients, it is great to be aware of the different ways you may include niacinamide into your skincare routine!
Toners are an optional part of your skincare routine. Nevertheless, they are highly beneficial! Toners help to close and tighten pores which protects the skin from absorbing impurities and environmental contaminants. Yale-affiliated dermatologist Dr. Alicia Zalka notes that “using a toner can be a nice way to add active ingredients like retinoids, antioxidants and exfoliants to your existing products”, so why not opt for a niacinamide toner?

Islamist militant group, ISIS, has declared that it has established a caliphate in the area stretching the northern swathe of Iraq and parts of Syria – an event that heralds a fiercer civil war in Iraq, which could force increasing presence and involvement of the United States, four years after its troops left the country.
Declaring the Islamic state, the ISIS also proclaimed the group's leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, as caliph of the area saying he would be the "leader for Muslims everywhere".
The group, less commonly known as the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) and also known as ISIS, has now renamed itself as "Islamic State" while proclaiming its leader as the Caliph, Reuters reports.
The Sunni Muslim militant group has been raging war across northern Iraq and has captured key border crossings with Syria and Jordan and overrun major cities and towns. The al-Qaeda break-away group, which also has large swath of area in Syria under its stronghold, has been seeking to build the caliphate state.
In a statement posted on Islamist websites and Twitter, a group spokesman Abu Muhammad al-Adnani said their new leader "is the imam and khalifah (Caliph) for the Muslims everywhere."
The statement, which was translated into several languages and read out in an Arabic audio speech further said: "The 'Iraq and Sham' (Levant) in the name of the Islamic State is henceforth removed from all official deliberations and communications, and the official name is the Islamic State from the date of this declaration."
The group, known around the world as Jihadists, has sought to create a medieval-style caliphate extending its geographical presence in area from the Mediterranean to the Gulf.
The group calls the Shi'ite Muslims as heretics and feels they deserve death – a viewpoint that the West deems to be the breeding group for terrorism.
"It is incumbent upon all Muslims to pledge allegiance to (him) and support him...The legality of all emirates, groups, states, and organizations, becomes null by the expansion of the khalifah's authority and arrival of its troops to their areas," the statement added.
The last caliphate was dismantled nearly 100 years ago with the end of the Ottoman Empire, but with the rise of ISIS and its increasing throttlehold in the Iraqi and Syrian region in the 21st century, the International community is left with much reasons to worry about.

It looks nice, but is very low-quality. My friend bought one for his Legend and another for his brother's Maxima. Both started to fall apart, the spring tensions were off, the key for the Max didn't even close after a while, it just stayed open. It's pretty much hollow inside, with a spring and some other cheap parts. After a while they started to look worse than McDonald's happy meal toys. Definitely not worth it.

Rookie Alfred Morris often states his desire to become a complete NFL running back. His promotion to third-down back in Sunday’s 31-6 win over Philadelphia was an important step toward that goal.
Coach Mike Shanahan replaced second-year running back Evan Royster with Morris, and Morris played nine of the Redskins’ 11 third downs.
“He told me he was going to give me an opportunity to do it, and I really am thankful because he’s trying to help me become a complete back,” Morris said. “I thank coach for believing in me.”
Morris did a variety of things on third downs. He picked up a pass rush only one time. His cut block against LB DeMeco Ryans that helped open a lane for quarterback Robert Griffin III to hit receiver Joshua Morgan on a slant for 6 yards on third-and-7 in the second quarter.
“I didn’t really see no pressure, so that was kind of unfortunate because I wanted to work on it,” Morris said.
Morris carried once on third down for a loss of five yards. He ran pass routes from the backfield on four third downs. He ran a route from a wide receiver position once. He served as a decoy on a quarterback sneak. And he once blocked Ryan, who appeared to be spying Griffin.
Morris also committed one of his two false start penalties on a third-and-9 in the third quarter. Griffin bailed him out on the next play by scrambling for 23 yards.
“It was just me being too antsy,” Morris said. “I was just so ready to go, and I kind of flinched.”
There were two third downs on which Morris did not play. The Redskins used no running back on the first. On the second, a third-and-12 with 3:51 remaining in the game and the outcome decided, Royster carried for three yards.
“If he can stay healthy and just keep on doing the things he’s done, he will be a big-time back for a lot of years,” Shanahan said. “He’s a special guy.”

Sodium cyclamate is an artificial sweetener now banned in the U.S., but FD&C Red No. 2, a food dye, and polyoxyethylene 20 sorbitan monostearate, an emulsifier, are still in regular use in the food supply, according to the FDA's website.
In this study, young rats were fed a low-fiber diet along with sodium cyclamate, FD&C Red No. 2 and polyoxyethylene 20 sorbitan monostearate individually and in combination.
By "sugary," of course, I don't mean sugar: looking through the ingredients, one finds nothing labeled as such, but plenty of palm kernel oils and sorbitan monostearate and "less than two percent of sodium caseinate."
Intermediate-acting penicillin: Procaine penicillin or procaine penicillin aluminum monostearate (PAM).
Ingredients: flours (organic wheat bran, natural wheat protein isolate, natural oat flour), purified water, sea salt, calcium propionate (a natural baking preservative), chicory roots, yeast (sorbitan monostearate).
The researchers, led by Frédéric Debeaufort from the University of Burgundy, investigated how factors such as microstructure, composition, surface properties and the different interactions affect the release of flavour from iota-carrageenan microcapsules. edible films were formulated with anhydrous glycerol (Fluka Chemical) as the plasticizer, a fat (GBS, Danisco Bradbrand) to act as the carrier of the flavour compound (n-hexanal), and glycerol monostearate (GMS, Prolabo Merck eurolab) as the emulsifier.
The ability of propylene glycol monostearate (PGMS) to prevent ice recrystallisation in ice creams is "quite dramatic", says new research from Canada.

Is your dog pulling you around your home? Do your neighbors keep insisting that you take the dog away? Have your dog biting everyone or digging in the yard? Do they seem to be a bit disobedient? If your dog is not in the right direction, it may be an appropriate time to locate the right dog trainer or obedience training.
Start an Obedience Training Program: Find out how to establish a basic foundation for dog training before you start training your dog correctly. Train your dog using tricks Train your dog employing tricks. These do not have to be complicated like tug-of-war. They can be fun tricks that grab your dog’s attention and engage their senses. This can get them excited about learning.
Teach Your Dog Obedience Every Time: This is probably the most important aspect in dog-training. It’s not required to instruct every day, but you should do it every time. This will enable you to teach them a simple command every time. You can teach your dog the command “sit” every time you observe him wagging his tail as you walk past the bowl for your dog.
Learn to teach your dogs how to “Halt Down”: A dog-training trick that can be used in any situation is to teach your dog to “stand down.” When the dog is not performing the action expected, just use the word “down.” Dogs will learn that if he wants to sit down, he should stop whatever he is doing and simply stand down. As they master this trick they will be able to master additional commands, too. When you are training puppies, use this trick whenever you bring puppies inside. While you’re working in the garden, teach your children to stay on the lawn prior to when they go to cross the street.
Train them to do tricks There are many tricks that you can teach your dog to master. Learn to teach them how to shake hands when they meet strangers. Train them to sit, lean and come. Learn to teach them how to play certain games such as tug-of-war and hide and seek.
Use Different Tricks to Teach Everyday: Since dogs have distinct personalities based on their breed, don’t attempt the task of teaching all at once. Instead introduce them one at a given time so that they will learn to behave in a manner that is appropriate for them. The goal of training dogs to be obedience trained is to train dogs to behave well within an established context. That is the place where dogs training tips can help.
Learn to teach your dog the concept of “Give a Treat” When You Do Good Things If your dog does something right, reward them with an treat and plenty of praise. However, don’t just give them the treat when they do something wrong. Instead, you should correct them with a no or a raise when they accomplish something positive.
If you are wondering what you can do to teach your dog to reward him with treats, the most effective way to do it is to praise him and give him a gentle correction. Give him praise for each positive action or deed such as walking, sitting, jumping, etc. Once they understand the commands, you can simply use the command whenever you need to. For instance, if you wanted to correct your dog’s jumping, you would simply use the command “give a treat”. The most important thing is that you make sure to correct your dog consistently and gentle.
Make Use of a Gradual increase in your earnings: Eventually, after your dog has learned the commands it is possible increasing your reward. As you give your dog treats, you should offer them more than treats. In time, your dog will learn to accept only a treat. After a few weeks of this practice consistently, you can begin giving him more money than you think he’s used to.
Correct a Command by Using gentle punishment If your puppy persists in breaking the command, you should try correcting the behavior by using a gentle punishment such as a loud snap, a loud noiseor other type of harshness that’s not harmful to him. However, it is important to be using a gentle discipline only when the behavior of your puppy isn’t serious. It is also important to be sure to praise him for every good behavior and inform him that he’s doing something right.
Teach Your Dog to share affection If you want to, you can also teach your dog to share affection with you. In order to train them it is important that you follow the instructions correctly, and you should also give your dog praise for an excellent job. It is essential to use only mild punishments. After a time you can teach him to bring your food rewards.

Royal Isabela is ideally situated on one of the highest elevations on cliffs along the rugged coast of Isabela, Puerto Rico. Here it enjoys the gentle Caribbean seabreeze and stunning Atlantic views for guests staying at Royal Isabela Golf Resort.
Royal Isabela Casitas
Guests staying at the Royal Isabela Golf Resort enjoy the ambience of a private country club blended with the charming comfort of the resort’s 20 free-standing Casitas. These “little houses” are 1,500 square feet including indoor and outdoor space, and feature breathtaking ocean vistas.

The Royal Isabela oceanfront golf course’s fairways and greens were inspired by the landscape of wind-sculpted trees and cliffs carved by the Atlantic Ocean. You won’t find a more idyllic Caribbean setting as you take advantage of this rare opportunity to play golf at this private community’s Caribbean location in northwestern Puerto Rico.
The area’s native grasses, natural sand dunes, and deep canyons have all been incorporated in the layout of these links in an eco-friendly effort to design a course that evolves from the land itself.
The addition of sod-faced bunkers adds a Scottish flair to the links. These same elements that add such a unique ambience also work to challenge your golfing skills.

Tobias Buckell is best known for his adult Science Fiction, including the Xenowealth novels and, most recently, Arctic Rising, a near-future eco-political thriller. So, naturally, his next step is YA. Right?
From Publishers Weekly, via twitter,
Patrick Nielsen Hayden at Tor Starscape has acquired The Island in the Sky, a debut YA novel plus a sequel by SF author Tobias S. Buckell (Halo: The Cole Protocol). The book follows a Caribbean boy, Kadie, who gets the opportunity to travel to the stars when a starship arrives on Earth offering lottery slots to volunteers in exchange for leaving alien diplomats behind. Publication is tentatively set for winter 2014. Joe Monti at Barry Goldblatt Literary did the deal for North American rights.
Though it might feel like something of a departure for those who are familiar with Buckell’s adult novels, I think YA will be a wonderful fit for his tone, writing style and the adventurous nature of his novels and short fiction. I’m also glad to see him ‘returning’ to a Caribbean setting. Buckell was raised in Grenada, a small island nation in the Caribbean, and his first novel, Crystal Rain was set on an alien world settled by relocated Caribbean refugees, providing a tone and culture to the characters and setting not often found in Science Fiction. Sign me up when The Island in the Sky is released next winter.
Global warming has transformed the Earth, and it’s about to get even hotter. The Arctic Ice Cap has all but melted, and the international community is racing desperately to claim the massive amounts of oil beneath the newly accessible ocean.
Enter the Gaia Corporation. Its two founders have come up with a plan to roll back global warming. Thousands of tiny mirrors floating in the air can create a giant sunshade, capable of redirecting heat and cooling the earth’s surface. They plan to terraform Earth to save it from itself—but in doing so, they have created a superweapon the likes of which the world has never seen.
Anika Duncan is an airship pilot for the underfunded United Nations Polar Guard. She’s intent on capturing a smuggled nuclear weapon that has made it into the Polar Circle and bringing the smugglers to justice.
Tobias Buckell first came to my attention with the release of Crystal Rain (REVIEW), a crackin’ SF adventure with a Caribbean flare. The sequel, Ragamuffin (REVIEW) proved that Buckell was no slouch by expanding his universe and showing nice versatility as a writer without relying on ballooning word counts. Since then, his novels have always been firmly on my radar.
His newest novel, due out Feb. 28, 2012, is called Arctic Rising and presents another side to Buckell’s storytelling. While it’s not related to his previous novels, Arctic Rising is sure to be a smart eco-thriller with no lack of frenetic action and a torrid pace. I’m eagerly awaiting my change to jump in.
Centuries ago, the fifty-mile-wide mouth of the Lancaster Sound imprisoned ships in its icy bite. But today, the choppy polar waters between Baffin Island to the south of the sound, and Devon Island on the north, twinkled in the perpetual sunlight of the Arctic’s summer months, and tons of merchant traffic constantly sailed through the once impossible-to-pass Northwest Passage over the top of Canada.
A thousand feet over the frigid, but no longer freezing and icechoked waters, the seventy-five-meter-long United Nations Polar Guard airship Plover hung in a slow-moving air current. The turboprop engines growled to life as the fat, cigar-shaped vehicle adjusted course, then fell silent.
Inside the cabin of the airship, Anika Duncan checked her readings, then leaned over the matte-screened displays in the cockpit to look out the front windows.
You can read the first two chapters of Arctic Rising on Tor.com.

Are leadership styles of women and men really different? Why?
This is true.
As individuals, we combine the feminine and the masculine characters in our personalities, based on our cultural and social upbringing, our education and environment. Still I believe that there are distinct differences between women and men in their leadership style, based on the variables . So they will also differ from culture to culture, in my point of view.
Dont ask me why p/se.

Online training encourages therapists…Does Betterhelp Do Emdr on whatever from utilizing emojis to preventing misconceptions. They also need to safeguard patients’ individual data– a concern that has actually triggered debate in the United States, where huge online therapy platforms have come under the spotlight.
Buckley stated clients ought to check services’ personal privacy policies before registering. “Not all online counselling websites use expertly trained therapists or follow an ethics policy, so ask your GP for a suggestion in the very first instance. As with all sort of services and assistance, what works for one person might not work for another person,” he stated.
Marc Bush, chief policy advisor at Young Minds, said that while online counselling services are valuable, “they shouldn’t change face-to-face treatment with an experienced specialist. If a young adult is struggling, we would encourage them to speak to their GP in the very first instance, or to contact a recognized service like The Mix, Childline or the Samaritans.”.
For Rackham, who has generalised stress and anxiety condition, online counselling wasn’t the ideal fit. “I felt it was near impossible for the therapist to truly get a sense of the issues I was handling, as all they needed to go from was my typed-out words. I think I realised after that online session how essential social interaction was.
” I’m a huge fan of using technology in all areas of my life as a service to everyday problems. I have apps for everything, but when it concerns psychological health, you have to choose how technology plays a role in your recovery very carefully.”. Does Betterhelp Do Emdr
Rather, the app prides itself on having actually licensed therapists and psychological health experts available to help individuals by means of text, phone call or video chat. That’s what numerous YouTubers who have actually accepted sponsorships from the company often say in their own videos, where they speak on the tensions in their personal lives and sensations bordering on stress and anxiety or depression. Bobby Burns, Elle Mills, Philip DeFranco, Heath Hussar, Boogie2988, Shane Dawson and ChandlerNWilson are all creators who have Does Betterhelp Do Emdr sponsors now.
A lot of these creators have actually spoken about psychological health concerns in the past, but as burnout becomes a bigger subject within the community– and mainstream world– sponsorships including BetterHelp have actually increased, despite the app not being precisely what the creators are touting.


When we’re young, we play with toy versions of the cars we dream of having when we grow up. When we grow up, we own the cars but miss the fun of playing with the toys. When it comes to the 2016 Porsche 911, you can have the best of both worlds. Many New England Porsche drivers know Porsche of Nashua as the right Porsche dealership for a 911 Porsche. And if you’re feeling nostalgic, the Lego Group has Porsche models produced under license from Porsche that you can assemble.
The upcoming Lego Technic Porsche 911 is the latest in a line of sets that typically contain more than a thousand pieces, and have detailed engines, interiors, and suspension. It’s also a compliment to the company’s Speed Champions line, which has featured a smaller-scale versions of the Porsche 918 Spyder and Porsche 911 GT. This “model year” features plastic versions of a Porsche 917K and the same Porsche 919 that spent last year dominating the World Endurance Championship races.
Lest you think this is just kids’ stuff, the Lego Porsche 911 has already drawn rave reviews from Road & Track, as well as Car and Driver. In a nod to realism — and perhaps a bit of an inside joke given that Lego fans are typically only slightly less enthusiastic than Porsche aficionados — the Porsche 911 is pictured on the box decked out in test camo just like the Porsche test mules that run on the Nurburgring.
If the little kid in you always wanted a 911 Porsche, what better time than now to come to Porsche of Nashua? Take it for a test drive and put it through its paces. You won’t have to put it together, it goes much faster, and it even supplies its own “vroom!” noises. We’re located at 170 Main Dunstable Road in Nashua. Call our sales department at 888-695-4130, or contact our parts department at 603-595-1707. We don’t have jumper plates, 1×2 bricks, or those iconic minifigures, but if you’re looking to customize your Porsche with OEM parts, we’re more than happy to help.

I believe that the humane treatment of all animals should be a benchmark for any civilised society and it is important that we send out a strong and powerful message that animal cruelty must stop.
I am pleased that, following pressure from the Labour Party and organisations based outside of Parliament, the Conservative Government recently announced that it will bring forward new legislation to increase the maximum sentence for animal cruelty to five years in prison.
During the last Parliament, my Labour colleague Anna Turley MP secured a Private Members Bill on this issue. She tabled new legislation to increase the maximum sentences available to the court for animal cruelty offences. The Bill was scheduled to be debated in Parliament on Friday 24th February 2017 but earlier bills in the session were talked out by Conservative backbench MPs, leaving no time for Anna's bill to be heard.
Following the General Election in June 2017, Conservative Ministers have decided to act upon the Bill originally presented by Anna Turley MP. They have adopted Anna’s pledge to "increase the maximum sentences available to the court for specified offences related to animal cruelty” and have agreed to act on the issue of animal cruelty.
The Environment Secretary, Michael Gove MP, has agreed with the Labour policy that animal abusers who commit the most heinous crimes should face up to five years in prison. It was pledged that the Government "will announce plans to bring forward new legislation that will increase that tenfold, sending a clear signal to any potential offenders that there is no place for animal cruelty in England". It was claimed that "the new legislation will also enable courts to deal more effectively with ruthless gangs involved in organised dog fights".
The draft legislation is due to be published for consultation next year and I will continue to press the Conservative Government to implement this policy.


Question. Recently got myself a brand new hose (and insulated one!) and I had a ton of excess hose so I cut it in half (yay, back up hose) but I’ve recently learned it’s still about 2 feet too long for the fan to be pushing stuff out and I plan on fixing that today by cutting it down further- someday I’ll have an in-line fan.
Anyways, question, I know a long hose is bad but can you have a hose too short?
I’m upgrading the spot where I keep my GF and it’s right there at the window, excess hose kind just gets all smooshed up around the back before going out the thing. I have one of these things in my window now where the hose connects to go outside-
And a thing on the outside of it that has shutters to keep stuff from being blown back in. When not in use I always remove the whole setup from the window cause we don’t trust the people coming and going from the place nextdoor. XD
Here’s what the rest of my current setup looks like at the moment. When in use (aka, back into the window) I tape all the gaps up. The blanket is because it’s winter time here and a lot of cold escapes through the glass.
Also despite looks my hose is fully connected to both machine and window thingy- you’re just seeing the bit around the insulation that’s around it.
Right now, my GF is on a table that is literally ankle height and that’s fine but I’d really like to move it to something higher. I have a dresser that is the perfect size for my GF (like, right on the nose for measurements) but comes up just above the window opening. Hence why I’m thinking about how much I can cut down the hose.

This thoughtful account of what used to be called public housing should
be of interest to a broad spectrum of readers, from specialists to the general
public. It is engagingly written by a recognized authority who has served
as chair of the Department of Architecture at the University of California
at Berkeley. Davis is a seasoned veteran of the housing wars across the
country, and this book is replete with concrete case studies dating from
the past 20 years. The chief virtue of the book is the tremendous variety
of public housing it exhibits; architects never seem to tire of attempting
to design better public housing wherever they work regardless of fractious
approval processes, inhibiting rules and regulations, and discouraging economics.
Recommended for all collections.

The Aragonese Pyrenees are the border between the Iberian Peninsula and Europe, their length is 450 kilometers.This is a part in the Pyrenees that is the highest, since the main peaks of this region rise here. This region is famous not only for its good slopes, but there are also many thermal springs, interesting settlements in the mountains, as well as parks of Monte Perdido and Ordesa. Excellent infrastructure is typical for all local resorts, so tourists like to relax here. In addition, it is very attractive that the Aragonese Pyrenees typically have a bright sun, because they are facing south.
So in this region there are several interesting resorts, I want to note that everyone will have to get in different ways, it depends on the resort. For example, somewhere you need to fly to Barcelona, and then continue on by car or by organized transfer. In another case, it is better to fly to Zaragoza, and then again there will be a transfer.
The microclimate here is very diverse, it all depends on what height the selected resort is located. In general, an intermediate climate reigns here: between continental and Mediterranean. The highest places are located in the province of Huesca, they are characterized by hot summers, when temperatures can rise up to 40 degrees above zero. In winter, these places are quite warm.
With pyrenees travel guide you can to see many worth seeing places in this region. If we talk about architectural monuments, then be sure to go to the monastery of San Juan de la Peña, which was built at the very foot of the mountain. It looks very unusual. This building was erected in the 11th century; it attracts with its beauty and impresses with how some elements were preserved over such a long period of time. The capitals are decorated with sculptural images, plots for them are selected from the Bible. For example, there is a scene when they expelled Adam from paradise. The Royal Pantheon was created in this monastery, where the remains of the kings, who were lords for five centuries rest.
Church of St. Mary in the region, built on the banks of the river called Sinka. The church is modern, it was built in the 70s of the last century, it is very large and can accommodate five hundred people at a time. It is noteworthy that they built this church from what remains after the destroyed buildings of antiquity. Each year, the church hosts an organ music festival, as there is an organ with more than 4,000 trumpets. In general, there are a lot of various cultural events. It is very interesting to visit the castle of Loarre, which was erected at the beginning of the 11th century. It was built for a defensive purpose, since it was to defend the city from attacks by Arabs. In the 13th century the castle was completed, defensive walls were added here, which have mainly semicircular towers, and there is one square tower. Here, too, the walls have decorations associated with scenes from the Bible. In addition, there is the church of St. Mary, as well as the ruins of the Watchtower.
The stunning archaeological site can be called the town of Uncastillie, which, as proven. Exists since antiquity. According to scientists, the Celts and Basques lived here first, then the Romans. The city reached its heyday in the 12th century, when many buildings began to be built. It is worth visiting the local churches, the Jewish quarter, the palace, the castle of Sibiran and the town hall dating from the 10th century.
You can have fun in the popular resort of Baqueira-Beret, where the royal family likes to relax. In addition, there are 4 discos, almost 20 bars and 7 restaurants. The royal family prefers to dine in the restaurant Casa Irene, which is located in the small town of Artis. The Ordesa y Monte Perdido National Park is located in the region. This park is considered the oldest in Aragon. The local nature is striking in its picturesqueness. There are deep gorges and canyons, turbulent rivers, rocks, beautiful waterfalls, and therefore a walk in this park will give a sea of positive emotions. Almost fifteen hundred species of plants grow in the park, there are also many reptiles, birds, fish and animals.
Another park is Visits Maladeta, it provides routes for climbing, but here you can just walk along the hiking trails. Here you will see glaciers, glacial lakes, waterfalls. The animals and plants that live here are considered rare species.
Of course, first of all, the Aragonese Pyrenees attract skiers and climbers. In the Visits Maladeta park described above, you can go through routes for climbers, with high complexity. In the resort of Baqueira-Beret, excellent ski areas are created. Here you can ride alone and in groups, you can ride a dog sled and even parachute. Everyone goes to the resort: families with children and beginner skiers, as well as professionals who can appreciate these routes. Moreover, if you want to learn how to ski properly, you can go to ski school. There are also paradise conditions for snowboarders. The slopes work from December to April, 3 special parks are open for children.
Rent a car is in the city of arrival, if you decide to travel independently and explore the region. It can be Barcelona or Zaragoza, from where there is a rather long road to the resorts of the Aragonese Pyrenees. The cost of rental per day starts from 1000, in some cases from 1500 rubles. In this case, the driver must be at least 21 years old, driving experience of a year, as well as the presence of a driver's license of international standard and a passport. Here you can rent excellent apartments, the cost of which per day is from 200 euros, there are more affordable options, it all depends on the resort, time of rest and conditions provided by the owners.
Still, the Pyrenees do not come to the Aragonese for shopping, here you can, of course, buy souvenirs for yourself and your loved ones and all that may be required on vacation. But full shopping is possible in the cities of arrival: Zaragoza or Barcelona.

On June 23, 2018. 12 boys and their soccer coach went missing in Thailand. What was, supposed to be, an “initiation process for young men,” took the team to Tham Luang cave where they became trapped as the cave flooded, blocking their exit. The rescue seemed impossible, especially since the boys were so frail and would need immense energy and skill in order to attempt to swim through the narrow passageways in the cave. A professional Navy Seal diver, Saman Gunan, lost his life placing oxygen tanks along the tunnels for the boys, causing doubt that if a professional couldn’t make it, neither would the boys. Finally, on July 8, the rescue divers managed to get four of the boys out, later saving the rest of the boys and their coach in the next two days. What seemed like an impossible situation turned into a heroic story of this team’s survival.
I first heard about this story at camp this summer; not through the newspapers or on television, but from my Rabbi who described what was happening across the world to a large group of teenagers, all of us hearing it for the first time. While this was such a huge event going on in our world at that moment, all of us had missed it and we couldn’t figure out why. As we examined an article that our Rabbi passed around, we read of the impossible nature of this recuse mission and the probability that these boys were not going to make it out alive, and there was nothing we could do about it.
It was the first time I felt stupid: Stupid for not knowing what was happening in the world I was living in, stupid for searching for wifi to check my instagram feed but not bother checking the news. As we all sat around, learning of the horrific events taking place in Thailand with these boys, I could see that we all felt a strange sense of guilt for not knowing sooner. We were all counselors too — College educated counselors who were looking out for the well being of children.
In today’s society, everyone is best friends with their phone, which should mean that finding out news or events should be even easier. Instead, I find myself, others my age, and even adults, no longer concerned with the “real” news and more concerned with the news available on their phone. I mean, really, all the information I find out is from my friends’ posts, instagram feeds, or from flipping through television channels every now and then. Many people now are purposefully ignoring newspapers and networks because so much of it focuses on President Donald Trump’s remarks.
Christopher Herbert, a journalist for the Guardian Weekly writes of a one-year cleanse he and his wife took from the news outlets because of President Trump. Herbert says, “For both of us, the decision to tune out was instinctive. It was about sanity and self-preservation.” The decision everyone needs to make now is would they rather be informed or preserve their sanity.
For me, I don’t think that remarks and back talk President Trump makes is reason enough to dive into a black hole and never look at the news again. For me, he has already taken away a lot and he shouldn’t interfere with me being informed. That moment at camp for me opened my eyes to how our society is slipping away and how our news is becoming more about the top 10 ways to impress your man than what is happening in the world.

Does the FBI handle piracy?
Violating these laws by reproducing or distributing copyrighted work, with or without monetary gain, is investigated by the FBI and punishable by fines and federal imprisonment. For years, the FBI has actively worked to help deter piracy of intellectual property.
Is music piracy illegal?
Making unauthorized copies of copyrighted music recordings is against the law and may subject you to civil and criminal liability. A civil lawsuit could hold you responsible for thousands of dollars in damages.
Are pirating laws enforced?
Civil action by one party against another is by far the most common way of protecting copyright infringement; whereas, criminal action for copyright infringement requires enforcement by government agencies and can lead to prison sentences.
Is piracy legal in USA?
Digital piracy is the act of downloading and or distributing copyrighted material and intellectual property without paying for it. And it is most certainly an illegal act. Digital piracy is a violation of federal copyright laws. It can result in steep fines and imprisonment.
How much is a piracy fine?
Copyrighted material includes, but is not limited to, computer programs and accompanying sounds, images and text. Under U.S. law, infringement may result in civil damages of up to $150,000 and/or criminal penalties of up to five years imprisonment and/or a $250,000 fine.
Do people still get sued for pirating music?
The RIAA sued more than 18,000 people for illegally sharing music in the mid-2000s. Most of those cases were settled out of court or dismissed – Thomas-Rasset’s case being one of the few exceptions. The group adjusted its anti-piracy strategy in 2008 and stopped suing individuals.
What happens if you get caught pirating?
There’s some gray area with streaming illicit content, which is a misdemeanor – at best. If you’re caught illegally streaming videos online, you could face a fine of $750 or more, according to criminal defense attorney Matt Huppertz in Waukesha, Wisconsin. And using a VPN doesn’t protect you.
How do music pirates get caught?
Swift Detection. The process mimics how pirates themselves locate files but with a significant difference: speed. Media Sentry has automated the process by using scripting software that types in the songs, grabs the IP addresses, checks them, and forwards the information to the RIAA.
Is piracy punishable by death?
The punishment for piracy under the 1819 statute was death. In 1897, the penalty was changed to life imprisonment at hard labor. In 1909, the penalty was changed to life imprisonment. The piracy law enacted in 1909 has not been changed since.

Hey Barbara, Thor and Brinley! Thanks for being pups in the pack! We are so happy to hear that Barkbox day is the best day of the month for you guys and that the treats are working perfect for training classes! Thor sounds like quiet the giving pup with all of that sharing. If you need anything going forward please don't hesitate to let us know. We are always happy to help!
Almost two years ago we tried and reviewed 7 of the subscription boxes on the market. Since then, we’ve tried boxes from another 6 or 7 companies. We’ve tried a lot of these boxes more than once. Over the last couple of years, we’ve seen about 50 subscription boxes from 14 different companies and I’ve written two comprehensive comparison posts. If that doesn’t make us experts on dog subscription boxes, I don’t know what does.
PawPack makes it effortless for you to bond with your pet while promoting a healthy and sustainable lifestyle. PawPack offer a curated subscription service that provides you and your cat or dog with a box of surprise products each month that will always be all-natural and grain free. PawPack strives to save the lives of shelter pets, and just by being a PawPacker, you will be doing just that. PawPack has a commitment to finding every pet a home shines through everything they do. 10% of proceeds go directly to supporting rescue causes. PawPack is committed to only sourcing grain-free, all-natural products and do not sell edibles made in China. And they offer a 100% allergy guarantee; so if your furry friend is allergic to any ingredients in the products, simply email them to have a new treat shipped to you. PawPack's team of pet experts upholds rigorous standards, and always strives whenever possible to ensure the products are organic, eco-friendly and free of byproducts.
Hey there Amanda and Click! Thanks so much for being a part of the pack and we are so sorry about this experience. This is the not the experience that we want you guys to have at all and would love to turn this around for you both! We know how eager you guys must be to get your box and we don't blame you at all. It looks like this month's box would be Click's second box and last month was the first. Right now the first box always auto ships right away. Then following that our boxes ship out on the 15th of the month and you can see those boxes anytime from the 15th-26th of the month. Then right now that ETA delivery date can change at any time. We are so very sorry about this and can see how that would be frustrating! Then right now when you sign up for a multi month commitment and cancel that stops the renewal. Meaning you will still get the boxes that you signed up for and none following that. We try to make that apparent at sign up, but it can be easy to miss at times. We would hate to have you and Click leave the pack and want to ensure that you get what you paid for. If you have any further questions or concerns please email us directly at Lindz@barkbox.com! We want to straighten this out to create a better experience for both of you!
I subscribed to Barkbox last Dec and continued it for 3 months. I have a chihuahua who loves treats, but I don’t feed her treats in such large quantities. My boxes always included some sort of sausage bar which she loved, about 2-3 large bags of treats and 1-2 toys. The treats were too much; in fact, we still have a few bags despite cancelling a few months ago. The “squeaky” toys were ok, but they were pretty cheap and didn’t last. For the monthly cost of the box, “we” were better off saving the $$$ and applying it to better toys and treats in smaller quantities. I can see this box being better for consumers with larger pets since they eat much more than a chihuahua. Every 5 lbs a dog gains is equivalent to a human gaining 20!! If we fed our beloved pet “all” the treats they were sending, she’d turn into a chunky monkey and it would be very unhealthy for her. So, the box, in my humble opinion, is better for larger dogs who can eat more treats with less repercussions.
Hey Sonya and pack! Thanks so much for reaching out and we are so sorry to hear about your experience. This is not the norm for us, nor the experience that we want you to have. We know how much you and your pup depend on those monthly boxes. So we want to make sure you get them ASAP! I am also so sorry for the trouble and confusion with our warehouse move. I would love to further explain this to you and track down your box for you on my end to turn this around for you. Please reach out directly to Lindz@barkbox.com and we will get you all taken care of!

Giving your dog a new toy is an exercise in natural selection. No matter how cute or pricey it is, there’s some chance that your pup will ignore the new plaything or rapidly tear it to shreds, either way leaving it for dead. Here we present the survivors: the toys that our pups have verified to be good for hours, or even years, of play that’s engaging, ferocious, and cute.
But as much as this is a place for dogs, it is clearly also meant to be a space for their human companions to enjoy well, tapping into the documented trend among consumers looking to spend more on experiences—especially those that photograph for Instagram well—these days. The park will be putting on a number of events, at least twice weekly, including “Downward Dog Yoga” and “Okto-Bark-Fest.” The park will also host some of Bark’s existing programming already held routinely in other cities, such as the Open Bark Night comedy show.
Barkbox ships around the 15th of every month and once the box is shipped, they would send you an email confirming your shipment and customers in the US living in the lower 48 states will have free shipping, with their boxes being delivered within 2-8 business days. US customers also get tracking details. Customers in Canada can expect the subscription box for their dogs within 4-12 days of shipment and they apologize for the lack of tracking details as you cannot track your box once it leaves the US. Shipping costs about $5 for customers in Canada and other outer states in the US.
Reviews from Top Dog Tips and Gizmodo named this toy one of the top dog toys on the market. In our own tests, the StarMark Bob-A-Lot came in a close second to the Wobble Wag Giggle Ball. The Bob-A-Lot has the benefit of dispensing treats and dogs loves its wobbling action, but the Wobble Wag Giggle Ball doesn't need to be refilled in order to keep your dog's attention.
Is your pup running out of goodies to eat and play with? And are you too preoccupied with life’s demands that you keep forgetting to buy puppy delights? Dog subscription boxes are here, setting the new trend, to keep your dogs and puppies constantly rewarded. Barkbox boasts a range of high-quality treats and toys that are made from natural products assuring maximum customer satisfaction.
“It’s a fun surprise for me and the pups,” said owner Seton. “There’s always something for both my dogs. Walter goes through a toy a week, so the new toys that come every month are always a big hit. And Lily gets to enjoy the treats. It keeps my treat supply well stocked; I think I’m out of treats and then remember I have some in the pantry squirreled away from last month’s box.”
After launching in 2011, Barkbox saw more than $1 million in revenues per month after only 2 years in business. By February 2014, they reached $25 million in revenue per year. It’s no wonder so many other monthly dog box companies popped up after Barkbox’s initial (and continuing) success. Here are the features that make Barkbox a winner for you and your pooch:
The KONG Extreme Dog Toy is more than just a chew toy — it is also an interactive toy. Stuff this toy with your dog's favorite treats, and he'll be happy for hours, tossing the toy around and working to get at the treats inside. The unpredictable bouncing action makes the KONG Extreme a great toy for games of fetch, and it is also the perfect toy to keep your dog busy when he's confined to his crate or left home alone. It is also a great option for dogs with separation anxiety.
Thank you for your review Jack and we're so happy to have you in the pack! :) I did want to clarify that you can cancel anytime. The online cancelation feature works on cancelation for renewal so pupscribers who don't want to be auto renewed can take care of that. However you can cancel anytime by emailing our support team at Happy@barkbox.com If you need any assistance you can always email me personally at Lindz@barkbox.com
Each BarkBox surprise is sent on the 15th of each month, and most consumers have reported that they’ve received their packages quickly and without delays. However, if you’re a new BarkBox customer and sign up after the 10th, keep in mind that your package will not be sent until the 15th of the following month. In the event that your BarkBox is delivered with a defective item, the company provides all members with the opportunity to immediately send it back, at which point you’ll either receive a replacement or a credit toward your account.

Decided to try Barkbox for my 2 Malinois and my Boston Terrier. They are sharing one box started three months ago. All but one toys from the first 2 boxes are still intact. And they like the baked treats. My third box was stolen from the post office parcel box, and the company replaced it even though it was clearly not their fault. Would highly recommend this. The dogs and I have fun with the boxes!
The Mammoth Flossy Chews Cotton Blend 3-Knot Rope Tug is made from 100 percent natural cotton rope fibers that actually clean your dog's teeth with a floss-like action as he chews and plays with the toy. This 3-knot rope tug is made for durability and safety, perfect for long games of tug-of-war. It is also particularly well-suited to the demands of heavy chewers and teething puppies.
If you’re raising your puppy in a city or urban area, this might be the perfect solution for a small outdoor space that lacks foliage like a patio or a balcony. Since the product is an actual living plant, the root bed is able to break down odors and the entire thing is compostable at the end of the month. It almost seems too good to be true for only $24 a month!
Playtime is also a great opportunity for puppy teaching moments. You can train your dog through play, and with dog toys. Chewy carries the best dog toys from top dog toy makers like USA Bones & Chews, Nylabone, and KONG. There are dog balls and dog fetch toys, dog chew toys, plush dog toys, interactive dog toys, dog puzzles and rope and tug dog toys for your pup to play with. KONG dog toys are durable and made to last. If your canine’s a rascal with a strong jaw, KONG toys can be the perfect alternative to your designer furniture. KONG tough dog toys include balls of all shapes and sizes, and even cuddly plush toys. Plush dog toys are great for canine’s seeking comfort as they can ease some pup anxiety. Interactive dog toys help stimulate your pup’s mind, which is the key to a fulfilling life. If your pup loves to chew on your prized possessions, dog chew toys can come to the rescue. Chew toys can keep your pup busy for hours, and away from your closet. Playtime with your pup is a priceless experience pet parents cherish. Make the most of pup play with dog toys from Chewy.
My Mastiff, Thor, and his pitbull sister, Brinley, anxiously await their monthly BarkBox as soon as I tell them it's been shipped. The treats are nutritious, I use some of them in my puppy training classes. Thor commandeers the toys but gradually lets his sister play with them. Most of them hold up very well, lasting for several months. For a heavy chewer like mine, this is a testament to their quality.
There are almost as many kinds of dog toys as there is kind of dogs, but Pet Mountain makes it easy for you with the ability to select exactly what you want that's the perfect size and style for your dog. Added on to that convenience is assurance that you're buying from some of the best manufacturers of dog toy products out there -- brands like Kong, Nylabone, Four Paws, Chuckit and Spot.
Some days Sutton (Chihuahua mix, 8 pounds, 1 year) has so much puppy energy left over from dog-park play that she just runs around the apartment, digs out all of her toys from the toy bin, and squeaks anything she can find for hours on end. I may be the worst pet parent ever, but all that squeaking can get annoying. So I was happy to discover Hear Doggy ultrasonic squeaker toys, because they use squeakers tuned to an ultrasonic frequency between 24 and 28 KHz that’s silent to people but still makes a fun noise for dogs. To people it sounds like the squeaker died and there’s just a little trapped air being pushed out, but apparently to a dog it still sounds like their favorite toy. Sutton gets just as excited when squeaking this thing as she does her traditional squeakers—fun times for her and a lifesaver for my ears.

Every month come with a different theme with differing activities, toys, and treats bases on the season, Thanksgiving, mother’s day, Halloween, Christmas. You name it!
