When Takeala Langston's children leave for school each day in Portsmouth, she chants with them: "No stress, no struggle, no strain."
Like most other students across the region, her three elementary and middle school children are taking state Standards of Learning exams through early June.
Langston says the phrase, which she picked up in church, helps her kids stay calm.
"I understand that SOLs are important, but I think that it shouldn't be the main focus of education," she said.
For some students, testing can be stressful, according to medical professionals and critics.
"We talk about test anxiety a lot, not just at SOL time," said Alex Laramee, a licensed clinical social worker at Children's Hospital of The King's Daughters.
Laramee, who manages the hospital's behavioral health program, said "it is of course natural to feel nervous. We have an awareness that this is a big, important test."
In Virginia, children take SOL exams as early as third grade. Schools' accreditation is based largely on the results, and passing certain exams is a graduation requirement.
Amid SOL reform, the state Education Department changed certain exams this year. For example, the state expanded “computer adaptive testing” which means test difficulty is customized to each student based on how she answers questions. Because of this, many elementary and middle schoolers will take shorter math SOL exams this year, officials have said. According to the state, the third grade customized test has 32 items, which is 18 fewer than last year. The seventh and eighth grade tests have 53 items, seven fewer than previous exams.
With any exam, parents should pay attention to their children's behaviors and the emotions they express about testing, Laramee said, noting the difference between fear and anxiety.
Fear is a natural response to something we perceive as a threat, which could be a test, she said. Anxiety is different and can lead to obsession before and after the exam.
Parents might see changes in their children's sleep schedules, illnesses such as stomach aches, reluctance to attend school or expressions of self-doubt, Laramee said. They should consult their children's doctors if they have concerns.
At CHKD, health professionals talk through students' worries to generate healthier thoughts, Laramee said. They may also simulate the test setting so children learn to feel comfortable and can practice positive behaviors for the exams.
Test anxiety causes some qualified students to perform below their capabilities, said Bob Schaeffer, public education director at FairTest, which advocates for educationally beneficial testing and criticizes the misuse of standardized exams.
"Parents can help students understand that they are 'more than a score.' But it is hard to persuade young children that statement is true when state and local educational policies put so much weight on test results," he said
Many schools across the region hosted SOL pep rallies, and some recorded music videos to encourage students.
During a recent math review at Cradock Middle School in Portsmouth, students helped one another.
While Taylor Gray, an instructional assistant, discussed equations, one girl volunteered to conduct the review for her peers.
Today's Top Stories
"She had the confidence to lead the class," Gray said. "And she called on students, she had students come up to the board, she did a really good job."
Stephanie Hamill Lopez, the school's math department chairwoman, said such activities show that students have mastered the skills. That review, along with tutoring and other efforts, helps students prepare.
"The students do feel the pressure because it is a high-stakes test," she said. "At Cradock, we like to make sure they feel confident."
Langston, the Portsmouth mom of three, said she ensures her children get a good night's sleep and breakfast. She tells them, "Take your time, read the directions completely, and follow instructions and do your best."
She said parents should try not to stress out about the test.
"Don't put too much focus on it. Just encourage your kids that they can do this," Langston said. "Just be their biggest cheerleader."

For some reason or another, and I really have no clue why, I am completely in love with Paramore’s new song “Still Into You.” I don’t really consider myself a current fan. I used to like them back in high school and saw them several times before they got huge, but since the Farro brothers left the band I haven’t really liked the sound as much…til now. Hot damn this song is catchy!

Why insider attacks are down in Afghanistan
No one claims the problem is solved, but officials are cautiously hopeful that the lower number of 'green-on-blue' killings in Afghanistan this year means preventive measures are having an impact.
| Kabul, Afghanistan
Before long, the soldiers would know the terrifying truth: that it was Afghan police officers who, after climbing the wall of a hillside observation post assigned to keeping an eye out for Taliban movement, had emptied their weapons on their American comrades inside.
That night, four Americans died at the hands of their Afghan assailants, making it the deadliest of a string of insider attacks that added up to the worst year for what the military calls “green-on-blue” violence of the Afghanistan war. Last year 61 international forces – at least 34 of them Americans – were killed by Afghan security forces, nearly half of the 132 killed by insider attacks since 2008.
The Zabul incident intensified an already growing sense of crisis in the US and Afghan militaries over the problem of insider attacks. The result has been a series of steps on both the Afghan and international sides that officials say are having an impact in addressing a particularly demoralizing form of violence.
Yet while initial evidence seems encouraging -- so far in 2013, six US and other international soldiers have been killed in insider attacks – there is also reason for caution. For one thing, those six deaths represent 13 percent of total coalition deaths this year, about the same as the 15 percent of total coalition fatalities they represented last year, according to statistics compiled by the Long War Journal. And the summer fighting season is just getting under way.
On the other hand, well over half of 2012’s 34 insider killings occurred in the first five months of the year. By comparison, this year’s six killings through mid-May represent a reduction of about two-thirds.
(NATO Command in Afghanistan reports slightly different inside-attack figures than Long War Journal: 129 coalition forces killed since 2008, 62 in 2012, and four this year.)
No one claims the problem is solved, but officials are cautiously hopeful that the lower number of “green-on-blue” killings so far this year means that steps – ranging from increased vetting of Afghan security forces and reduced occasions where Afghans are armed while in the company of US and other foreign forces, to enhanced cultural awareness training – are having an impact.
“This violence is an embarrassment for both sides, it’s an issue that can create a lot of mistrust between us – and in the last months we have taken a lot of measures against this issue,” says Gen. Sher Mohammad Karimi, chief of Army staff in the Afghan military.
Among the measures implemented: The Afghan Army has added hundreds of counterintelligence officers to keep an eye on recruits for signs of “anti-foreigner” sentiment, soldiers returning from leave are interviewed and watched for signs of Taliban indoctrination. Like the US and other NATO countries, Afghanistan has put more emphasis on religious and cultural-sensitivity training.
On the coalition side, the US has implemented a “guardian angels” program under which units designate soldiers to provide security to troops who are training, overseeing, and accompanying Afghan security forces.
The US has also reinforced its counterintelligence capabilities, and augmented cultural awareness training among its troops. The cultural sensitivity effort is tacit acknowledgment, some military experts say, that events of 2012 like the unintentional Quran burnings at Bagram Air Base and the video posted on the Internet of US soldiers urinating on dead Taliban fighters helped incite the rage behind some of the attacks.
The Taliban issued a statement shortly after the Zabul attack, for example, claiming it was carried out by police officers it had recruited to retaliate for a US-made anti-Muslim video that denigrates the prophet Muhammad.
Still, NATO officials say steps taken by the Afghan Army in particular have been critical in reducing the threat.
“We’ve enhanced training in how to guard against it, and there is a decrease,” says Lt. Gen. Kenneth Tovo, commander of the Afghan Training Mission-Afghanistan. “But most important is what the government of Afghanistan is doing” with enhanced vetting and intelligence efforts, he says. “That’s a critical part of it.”
NATO’s second in command in Afghanistan, Lt. Gen. Nick Carter, says that while insider attacks “in the last six months have been ably contained,” they remain “a problem that needs continued focus and attention.”
One challenge both the coalition and the Afghans will be watching out for is Taliban success in encouraging not just “green-on-blue” but also “green-on-green” insider violence.
In an April statement proclaiming the start of the 2013 fighting season, the Taliban encouraged Afghans in the security forces to turn against both the “foreign transgressors” in Afghanistan and their Afghan compatriots cooperating with foreign troops. The Taliban have also been known to threaten violence against the families of Afghan soldiers and police officers who resist pressure to carry out an attack.
“We shouldn’t be surprised to see the enemy encouraging this tactic again, because it saw last year as being successful,” says Fred Kagan, a military expert and Afghan war specialist at the American Enterprise Institute in Washington.
Last year‘s spike in attacks prompted the US to suspend joint patrols for a short time, and to temporarily pull advisers from Afghan ministries. After a deadly insider attack that left five of its troops dead, France announced it would pull its combat forces out of Afghanistan early.
NATO officials acknowledge that the Taliban will try to boost insider attacks again. “They’re trying to drive a wedge between ISAF [international forces in Afghanistan] and the Afghans, and to drive a wedge between members of the coalition,” says Brig. Gen. Adam Findlay, a deputy to NATO Afghanistan Commander Gen. Dennis Dunford.
Perhaps one encouraging note coming out of investigations into last year’s attacks, General Findlay says, is that none of 2012’s 47 attacks appears to have been the result of personal animosity – no attacks “by people who were person-to-person offended,” he says.
“What we heard in questioning the perpetrators was ‘They don’t respect our women’” or references to the Quran burnings, says Findlay.
In other words, US troops may want to keep an eye out for Afghans who might return to training radicalized or under pressure from the Taliban after a long leave.

The great folks at Gartner Studios sent me some Duff Goldman products this week to review. I was curious to try this brand after seeing some of his interesting products on the shelves at Michaels before. Have you ever watched Food Network’s Ace of Cakes? Duff Goldman is the baker and creator of that show! Duff Goldman by Gartner Studios is the bakeware and cake decorating product line that was created to bring his unique style of baking to your home.
Receiving these products was exciting for me because they are flavors I don’t usually work with. Here’s a run down of the products:
- Duff Goldman by Gartner Studios Red Velvet Cake Mix – Duff’s premium cake mixes use low protein and low gluten flour, which makes for a lighter, fluffier cake.
- Duff Goldman by Gartner Studios Raspberry Cake and Cupcake Filling – Add a flavorful, tasty center to cakes and cupcakes with Duff’s zingy new Raspberry filling. It’s extra delicious when paired with Buttercream or Cream Cheese frosting. Which brings me to the last product for review:
- Duff Goldman by Gartner Studios Cream Cheese Ready to Serve Frosting – Reach for the most delicious, easily spreadable frosting available, from the Duff Goldman by Gartner Studios collection. Other delicious flavors include: Fudge, Chocolate, and White.
Over the years I’ve noticed a negative stigma attached to boxed cake mixes and pre-made baking products. I know that “from scratch” recipes usually turn out better quality products and allow for experimentation more easily, but boxed mixes have their place too! When my boyfriend and I were making these red velvet cupcakes this week, he commented how much easier and less of a hassle it was to use these Duff products than it was the last time he helped me make cupcakes from scratch. It really was a lot easier and created much less of a mess to clean up later too. That’s why I don’t look down on boxed mixes. They definitely have their place when you just want to make a quick batch of cupcakes without having to devote your whole afternoon to them.
The Duff red velvet cake mix was simple to mix together. All you needed was some water, eggs, and oil. The batter itself was a little thinner than I expected, but didn’t effect the final product negatively. In fact they were very light and airy while still having a density that made them hold up well. The batter had a lot of red dye in it though. So much so that it stained my skin! But it washed off fairly easily. I’m not sure how easily it would have washed out of clothing though, so that’s something to keep in mind. Look how red it was!
The ready-to-use raspberry filling came in a sealed plastic bag, so I just snipped off a corner and squeezed it into the centers of the cupcakes after coring them out with a large frosting tip. Then I took the center part out of the frosting tip, cut off the excess cake and placed the top part back on the cupcake once I filled it. The filling is sweet and slightly tart. If you like really tart raspberry flavor you might find this a bit sweet, but it isn’t overpoweringly sweet. And it paired well with the cream cheese frosting flavor.
The cream cheese frosting was one of the best canned cream cheese frostings I’ve ever tasted. It was also sweeter than most homemade cream cheese frostings I’ve made. Its main draw back was that it was rather thin so it isn’t very good for piping tall frosting. Whipping it and maybe adding a little powdered sugar to it might help thicken it a bit, but it’s best for frosting with a spatula in a thin layer on top of the cake. These cupcakes didn’t need a lot of frosting though, because there was already so much flavor in them. The the slight cream cheese flavor definitely went well with the red velvet and raspberry flavors of this cupcake.
Overall, I was very impressed with these products from Duff Goldman by Gartner Studios. I was worried they’d taste dull because they are a mass produced product, but surprisingly, they had a lot of flavor and nice consistency. I would definitely recommend these products to others, especially those who want quality cupcakes in a short amount of time.
You can find these products at several stores including Michaels, select Walmart and Target stores, or online at www.duff.com.
One lucky reader will win their own package of Duff products! The package will have the same items I reviewed above including the Red Velvet Premium Cake Mix, Raspberry Cake and Cupcake Filling, and Cream Cheese Ready to Serve Frosting.

Limitless ploughs ahead with Arabian Canal
Dubai, July 14, 2008
More than 1.5 million cubic metres of earth – enough to fill 600 Olympic-size swimming pools – has been excavated for the Arabian Canal, the 75km man-made waterway designed and managed by Limitless.
Pilot excavation work on the $11 billion project has left a giant hole which, at 700 metres long, 200 metres wide and up to 45 metres deep, is big enough to hold nearly 20 A380 Airbuses or eight of the world’s largest cruise ships, said a company press release.
Excavated earth – amounting to one billion cubic metres – will be used to form new landscapes along the canal, including mountains up to 200 metres high, providing views of the waterway and creating new land on which to build hillside villages.
Limitless is using the world’s most sophisticated camera and video technology to monitor land changes throughout the excavation, which began in December and will continue for the next four years, the release said.
Its Goematics Information Systems team carries out weekly aerial mapping surveys from a helicopter up to 600 metres above ground, and will soon be tracking progress at ground level with new laser scanning equipment mounted on top of a 4-wheel drive vehicle.
Saeed Ahmed Saeed, CEO of Limitless, said: “The world is watching as the Arabian Canal takes shape. The project will bring life into the desert, creating a landmark destination for Dubai’s residents and visitors in the form of a navigable waterway and a balanced, sustainable canal-side city for more than 1.5 million people.”-TradeArabia News Service

EUMETSAT brings key expertise to Copernicus Programme
Excellence as an operational organisation and experience working with users are two of EUMETSAT’s crucial contributions to the EU’s flagship environmental monitoring programme, says Associate Director of Low Earth Orbit Division Marc Cohen.
Two of EUMETSAT’s key areas of excellence will be the organisation’s main contribution to the EU’s flagship environmental monitoring Copernicus Programme.
They are, its expertise as an operational organisation and experience working with users of meteorological and climate data and products derived from observations from space.
So says EUMETSAT’s Associate Director of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Division Marc Cohen, who has been involved in overseeing, from EUMETSAT’s perspective, the development of the Sentinel-3 project.
The Copernicus Programme was established in 2014, replacing the Global Monitoring for Environment and Security (GMES) programme, as the EU’s Earth Observation programme in response to the challenge of global climate change.
Under this programme, EUMETSAT will be responsible for routine operations of the Sentinel-3 satellites after they have been launched and commissioned.
"We also have now after 30 years a lot of experience with users"
The European Space Agency (ESA) is responsible for Sentinel-3’s launch and commissioning phase and also will be responsible for its land mission. EUMETSAT will exploit the marine mission, including dissemination of its data to marine users and long-term archiving.
EUMETSAT will also exploit the Sentinel-4, -5 and -6 missions on the EU’s behalf, in cooperation with ESA.
Cohen said the three marine missions on Sentinel-3 complement EUMETSAT’s current contributions to operational oceanography. They are the Sea and Land Surface Temperature Radiometer (SLSTR), the Ocean and Land Colour Instrument (OLCI) and the Synthetic Aperture Radar Altimeter (SRAL).
“It makes sense that Sentinel-3’s marine mission is within EUMETSAT,” he said.
The altimeter mission, which measures sea surface height, complements the high precision altimeter mission on Jason-2, which is jointly exploited by the United States’ National Aeronautics and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), France’s Centre National d’Etudes Spatiales (CNES) and EUMETSAT.
EUMETSAT’s role in extracting and disseminating data and products from Jason-2 will be expanded in the near future when it delivers data from Jason-3, its replacement, to Copernicus as part of a marine data stream, which will include data and products from Sentinel-3.
“Sentinel-3 will also have the Sea Surface Temperature mission, which is also quite complementary to EUMETSAT’s existing Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer (IASI) mission and we will have the ocean colour instrument, which is new for us,” Cohen said.
“The main contribution of EUMETSAT will be that, first of all, we are an operational organisation and have a dissemination system which is very user friendly in the sense of technical set up.
“EUMETCast is easy and cheap to install and we have the full infrastructure for user support.
"Sentinel-3 is our first third-party programme, which means the mission is fully funded by third parties"
“We also have now after 30 years a lot of experience with users. We are used to dialogue with users. There may be new users but we are used to structuring discussions with users.”
Cohen said the fact that the EU is a customer represents a significant change for EUMETSAT.
“Sentinel-3 is our first third-party programme, which means the mission is fully funded by third parties,” he said.
“With the EC, we will work under the Copernicus Programme Delegation Agreement, which is a big step for EUMETSAT.”
In this programme, we have made efficiency gains, particularly in the Satellite Control and Operational System, with a higher degree of on-board automation leading to different practices in terms of monitoring and control aspects, he explained.
Cohen praised the efforts of EUMETSAT’s Sentinel-3 team in developing and tailoring practices and processes to fit a highly complex system.
The system has required building an even closer working relationship with ESA and its European Space Research Institute (ESRIN), in Frascati, Italy, which has responsibility for the Sentinel-3 Payload Data Ground Segment.

Popular English indie rock band Arctic Monkeys have made history, as their fifth studio album, titled simply ‘AM’ managed to debut at number one, making them the only independent group whose first five records have gone to the top of the charts. Their success surpasses that of another British band, Blur, who also managed to score five consecutive number one albums, but their run began with their third album ‘Parklife’, released in 1994 and ended with the group no longer being signed to an indie label.
The ‘I Bet You Look Good On The Dance Floor’ musicians’ closest competitors are probably Stereophonics, who also claimed five consecutive number one albums, however, their run started with their second release, ‘Performance and Cocktails, in 1999. The chief executive of the Official Charts Company, Martin Talbot said that Arctic Monkeys’ run is an amazing achievement, while the NME editor Mike Williams stated that their latest album, ‘AM’ is the most incredible album of their career so far.
A spokesperson from the Official Charts Company on Sunday, September 15, 2013 said, “It’s proof that you don’t have to be backed by a multinational to be successful. I guess it’s kind of the flip-side to the likes of the X Factor and The Voice.” ‘AM’ is also the second-fastest selling album of 2013, after Daft Punk’s ‘Random Access Memories’.

Since 2004, we have partnered with Kentucky based Carlson Software as a licensed manufacturer and distributor of their Industrial Laser Module (ILM) in support of the North American Aerospace and Defense Industry.
ILMs use pulsed time-of-flight technology to deliver highly accurate distance and presence information over long or short ranges. The laser module can also use the range to trigger external devices, such as cameras or warning systems. They are used widely by system integrators, especially for military, security and traffic management applications
Use as a Laser Altimeter
The lightweight and compact nature of these modules have made them an especially popular choice for integration as an altimeter, incorporated into fixed-wing as well as rotary platforms for both manned and unmanned flight. It has been utilized as part of the Assisted Takeoff and Landing System (ATOL) for the Predator and other UAVs, a tool for crop spraying in the agricultural aviation industry (mindrumlasers.com), as well as a standard altimeter for a variety of other aviation applications. While these modules are frequently combined with a cockpit display, they can also work as stand-alone units to give a fully functioning end-user system.
They can be used as a source of data that allows the aircraft control system to calculate:
- Height (direct from the laser)
- Rate of descent (by monitoring the height over time)
- Height during banked maneuvers (by using ranging information from the laser together with information from tilt sensors)

Available ILM Variants
The ILM-R (range) variant averages 20 individual range measurements, providing a stable measurement at a rate of approximately 9 Hz.
The ILM-HR (high repetition) variant does not average ranges, the range output rate is 400 Hz consisting of 400 individual range measurements.
The ILM-T (trigger) variant is configured to provide a trigger signal to external devices when the range to the target is within a customer defined trigger window.


In just a few days, Cars 2 will be released here in the States. I know most people are fans of Lightning McQueen, but Mater was always my favorite. This new movie focuses more on him and his little adventures, so I have no doubt I’ll like it. The only question for me is whether or not I’ll see it in the theaters or wait until I can watch it at home. I think I’ll see what the Twitter buzz about it is like before I make that decision.
If you are a Cars fan, you’ve probably seen the trailer for the new movie. However, I bet you haven’t seen it like this before! Patrick Boivin, a stop-motion animation director at Pascal Blais Animation Studio, completely recreated the official Cars 2 trailer in Lego. Every single scene including the races, rescues, explosions, and even the clouds are made with Lego.
I’ve seen a lot of Lego builds, but I’ve never watched a Lego car crash before. I would have loved to see exactly how this was made. I have a feeling it wasn’t easy! If you love Lego as much as we do here on Bit Rebels, you are going to dig this. According to Vimeo, it took months of work to complete. I wonder how many Lego bricks were used? This is geektastic for sure!

From Charles Lemert (Wesleyan/Yale), an overview of the career of 20th Century Protestant theologian and public intellectual Reinhold Niebuhr, Why Niebuhr Matters (Yale 2011). Niebuhr has been much in the news lately as the inspiration for liberal realism in contemporary American politics; Barack Obama, among others, has acknowledged his debt to him. Niebuhr has also been the subject of other recent books, including one CLR Forum has noted. The publisher’s description follows.
Reinhold Niebuhr (1892–1971) was a Protestant preacher, an influential religious thinker, and an important moral guide in mid-twentieth-century America. But what does he have to say to us now? In what way does he inform the thinking of political leaders and commentators from Barack Obama and Madeleine Albright to David Brooks and Walter Russell Mead, all of whom acknowledge his influence? In this lively overview of Niebuhr’s career, Charles Lemert analyzes why interest in Niebuhr is rising and how Niebuhr provides the answers we ache for in the face of seismic shifts in the global order.
In the middle of the twentieth century, having outgrown a theological liberalism, Niebuhr challenged and rethought the nonsocialist Left in American politics. He developed a political realism that refused to sacrifice ideals to mere pragmatism, or politics to bitterness and greed. He examined the problem of morality in an immoral society and reimagined the balance between rights and freedom for the individual and social justice for the many. With brevity and deep insight, Lemert shows how Niebuhr’s ideas illuminate our most difficult questions today.

When considering whether to add a purebred pooch to your home, it makes sense to consider the possibility of canine hip dysplasia. While not limited only to certain breeds, this condition is a common finding, especially in large breed dogs.
While canine hip dysplasia is nothing for the average pet owner to lose sleep over, it is important to understand. Oakhurst Veterinary Hospital wants you to be educated, no bones about it.
The Basics of Canine Hip Dysplasia
The hip joint, referred to in professional company as the coxofemoral joint, is a basic ball and socket. The pelvis forms the socket, called the acetabulum, which fits the ball portion at the top of the femur. Because of its ball and socket set-up, the coxofemoral joint has a unique and wide range of motion.
Dysplasia refers to abnormal development. In canine hip dysplasia, the ball and socket coxofemoral joint is abnormally formed. This results in a less-than-perfect fit that causes laxity and sometimes even leads to the hip intermittently or permanently popping out of joint (luxation). This problem leads to a decreased range of motion, pain, and joint instability that eventually causes the development of osteoarthritis.
Any animal with a hip joint can have hip dysplasia. Humans suffer from this condition and it has also been diagnosed in cats. Most commonly, however, our veterinarians see it in large breed dogs such as Labradors and German Shepherds.
There are several factors involved with the development of canine hip dysplasia. These include genetics, overall conformation, rapid growth rate, nutritional imbalances, and the rate of weight gain.
Symptoms of hip dysplasia may include:
- Bunny-hopping during running
- Reluctance to rise from a down or sitting position
- Hesitance to jump up on things or go up stairs
- Loss of muscling in the rear limb(s)
What Smart Pet Owners Want to Know
Canine hip dysplasia is often manageable, but, short of major orthopedic surgery, it isn’t really fixable. Helping your pet to steer clear of this diagnosis is the best case scenario. You can:
- Research the incidence of canine hip dysplasia in the breed(s) you are interested in
- Choose a puppy from a lineage without hip dysplasia
- Choose a puppy from stock that has been certified free of hip dysplasia
- Feed a diet formulated for large breed growing puppies
- Avoid supplementing your large breed puppy’s diet with additional protein or nutrients
- Do not allow your large breed puppy to freely feed
There has also been some research that indicated that neutering before puberty can lead to growth changes that may increase the incidence of orthopedic disease including hip dysplasia. This risk is often weighed with other concerns and our recommendations will vary from dog to dog. Ask us at what age we recommend spaying or neutering your pet.
If your pet has been diagnosed with hip dysplasia, it is not necessarily the end of the world. A great many dogs do just fine with careful weight management strategies, nutritional joint supplements, and treatments such as rehabilitation therapy. Even with the onset of osteoarthritis, we have a great many treatment options at our disposal.
While some pets with canine hip dysplasia may require surgery (such as a hip replacement) to be comfortable, most do not. Trying to choose a pet who is not genetically predisposed to the problem and nutritionally managing growth are the best bets to steer clear of this orthopedic obstacle.
Canine hip dysplasia is not a diagnosis that we ever want to give, but rest assured that we are here to help if that happens. Your pets are our priority, orthopedic problems or otherwise.

This is following the 2 most prominent cryptocurrencies, bitcoin and ethereum, reaching their all-time highs this year
by NURUL SUHAIDI / pic by BLOOMBERG
THE digital universe has placed new opportunities witnessing the crypto community creating a new way of valuing art through blockchain technology.
Non-fungible tokens (NFTs), a type of digital token issued on a blockchain, have recently sparked a new conversation about value and creativity in the digital form. It has been used as proof of ownership and authenticity for digital artworks, preserving the exclusivity of the art piece among the creatives.
Luno Malaysia country manager Aaron Tang stated that NFTs use blockchain technology for a similar purpose to bitcoin.
This ensures that ownership of the original item is tracked on the blockchain and provides buyers with proof of ownership. They also use smart contract technology to facilitate the secure sale of the item.
It is unique and cannot be replicated, but can be bought and sold. However, they cannot be swapped because no two NFTs are the same.
“Given that the two most prominent cryptocurrencies, bitcoin and ethereum, have reached all-time highs this year, it makes sense for related technologies like NFTs to gain traction and embed themselves in the ecosystem,” Tang added.
Since the market is still in its early stages, it is impossible to predict how the future of NFTs in Malaysia will pan out. Despite this, a number of Malaysian digital artists have made a name for themselves in the local NFTs’ scene.
For digital artist and VFX & motion graphic director, Kia Hau Lau, there is always an opportunity for those who are ready to embrace the technology.
NFTs are beyond the artwork and has lucrative potential for the community.
“NFTs isn’t just limited to artworks, it has potential for events, digital collectibles and even forms of digital certificates to prove authenticity. I believe it will have its place in Malaysia once cryptocurrencies are more accessible to the mainstream audience,” Lau told The Malaysian Reserve (TMR).
“What really caught my attention about it is the fact that it is a new technology and opens up so many opportunities for artists to build their own self-sustainable brand and career,” he added.
He added that MalaysiaNFT and NFXT are a few of the Malaysian communities that are very approachable and helpful for anyone new to NFTs.
As the value of NFTs rise, others, particularly in the crypto world, are eager to diversify their investment portfolio by purchasing it.
Similar to other investments, Lau shared that evaluating the risk is important because the NFTs are still relatively new.
Treating NFTs as a value-holding investment carries a similar risk as such for the physical art market where collectors or investors will benefit more with knowledge and experience.
“I have collected a few pieces of artwork but for more personal than investment reasons, because those pieces resonate with me and I enjoy having them in my little collection,” he said.
Meanwhile, Tang explained that liquidity is an important issue to consider. For example, how quickly one’s NFTs could be converted into cash. Unlike well-known digital assets like bitcoin and ethereum, which are extremely liquid, NFTs are unique by design. As a result, there is significantly less liquidity.
“For instance, it is much easier to convert bitcoin into Malaysian ringgit — because there’s demand from tens if not hundreds of thousands of Malaysians — than an NFT, which might appeal to only a very small number of people,” he told TMR.
Another factor is price volatility. Although there are instances where investors earned huge and quick returns on NFTs, many investors have been burned because they invested in an NFT project expecting quick profits seeking low demand and even lower prices.
“By better understanding cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology, you will have the necessary knowledge to decide whether NFTs are worthwhile investment opportunities,” he added.
NFT has changed the landscape of digital art. In comparison to the past, it is now easier for digital artists to turn their passion into a sustainable lifestyle and reach a larger audience.
“Besides providing extra income for me to continue creating artwork, NFT also opens up opportunities for me to build my own branding as an artist on an international level,” Lau added.
“Most digital artists are mainly commissioned to work on clients’ projects, but NFT gives us the possibility of selling our own artwork or vision to people who enjoy the art and believe in them.”
“I tend to set my art pieces at a lower starting bid and let the market determine the price via http://tryshowtime.com/neverasleep. That way, they are more accessible to collectors with a wider range of budgets, and also lets the higher bidders decide how much they would like to invest in them,” he added.
While many other NFT platforms have emerged, according to Tang, Luno Malaysia has no plans to launch an NFT marketplace at this time yet and will instead focus on being the safest and easiest place for investors to begin their journey into digital assets.

The prompt for this layout was about a special or unusual Christmas gift. So I chose the watercolour painting set that Keith bought for me several years ago.
I still keep my paints in the lovely wood box and as well as a picture of the now messy, but wonderful paint box, I included a close up of some of my tubes of paint and one of a very recently finished painting of Autumn leaves.
The journalling is hidden inside the red envelope and includes mention of some other truly wonderful presents I've received over the years but this gift was definitely 'One of a Kind'.
The envelope was made using the Crafters' Companion Envelope board which allows you to measure and score perfectly every time, to make envelopes of varying sizes and thickness. The die cut presents were cut using the Cricut and Christmas cartridge.

But then things changed.
Those first experimental howls were actually quite cute. It was the way the dog stopped and looked around, as if wondering where the sound had come from. But then he realized howling was his super-power and that was the end of the quiet times.
Now, he howls at the drop of a hat....literally! You could live with the noise, but unfortunately, the neighbors are not impressed. Indeed, to say they are not happy is like saying a hurricane is a strong wind. You can see their point, and indeed if the dog was on the other side of the fence you'd probably feel the same. But being sympathetic and actually solving the problem are two totally different things.
It is therefore totally inappropriate to use force or punishment to inhibit this behavior. To do so will cause the dog a great deal of distress, inner conflict, and frustration. Instead, it's necessary to do a spot of detective work and observe the dog to work out what the triggers are. Then you can work with the dog to decrease the urge to howl, and as a finishing step teach the dog to be quiet on command. It's also wise to be aware of the potential pitfalls where you may accidentally reinforce undesirable behavior, rather than discourage it.
My beagle howls when we are out in public and he sees another dog in the distance.
Hello. I am going to send you some training exercises you can use to help make your walks or outings a bit more peaceful. The first step is to reframe what an oncoming dog means to your dog. From a safe distance — your dog determines the distance, not you — have your leashed dog view another dog. As the new dog comes into view, drop a lot of enticing meat treats just in front of your dog’s nose. Ignore any hysterics for now, but back up and create more space if your dog is unwilling to eat. This part is hard for humans — I understand. It helps to see your dog’s behavior for what it most likely is: fear vs. disobedience. The training reinforcer MUST be a great one, such as real meat. It is critical that the appearance of the new dog causes meat to fall from the sky. When the other dog is out of your dog’s view, all treats stop. We want your dog to predict that other dogs near him means that YUMMY FOOD will appear! As you are reframing your dog’s opinion of seeing other leashed dogs, be careful where you take your dog, and be protective of what he is exposed to. One fight can create a reactive dog. Consider not walking your dog for 30 days as you reprogram his opinions of other dogs. Instead, sit on your front porch or in your garage with your dog on leash, and practice treating every time another dog comes into your dog’s line of sight. During this time, engage your dog’s mind with mind puzzles, obedience work, and fun stuff like games in the house or yard. You know you have made great progress when your dog sees another dog, and he turns his head away from the once-threatening dog and looks into your eyes, expecting a treat. Once your dog is looking at his (former) trigger and then looking expectantly up at you for a treat, you can begin to put this skill on cue. Tell the dog, sit, "watch me" or whatever command you want to use for this exercise. Remember to go slowly. You will see a significant change in his behavior after a month of consistent practice.

Chewing furniture :( It's not as much the harm to the furniture that I am worried about. I am really concerned it will harm his intestines and really affect his health.
Hello, you are very right to be concerned about Chiku's health. An intestinal obstruction or tear can be dangerous and costly. I would make sure that Chiku has plenty of alternatives to the furniture. Buy him textured toys that feel good on the teeth and gums. Buy mentally stimulating feeder and puzzle toys that offer a treat after a game is played (you may have to help him to get the idea at first). Try a kong as well. Stuff the kong with a little kibble, dog-safe peanut butter (no xylitol as it is toxic to dogs!), and freeze the kong. When you see Chiku start on the furniture, offer him the kong as an alternative. It will keep him occupied for a while. Look here for more tips: https://wagwalking.com/training/not-chew-on-furniture. Read the entire guide to see methods that may break the habit. Good luck!

The SUNY Old Westbury men’s basketball team won its first Skyline Conference Tournament championship since 2004 and the women’s team won its first Skyline crown on Saturday night.
Both teams earned the conference’s automatic bid into the NCAA Division III Tournament, which begins Thursday.
Jamail Stanley scored 14 of his 16 points in the second half and had nine rebounds to lead the men’s team (19-8, 16-4 Skyline Conference), which was top seeded, to a 63-47 win over No. 6 St. Joseph’s College (Brooklyn).
Stanley, a junior guard, added two assists, four blocks and three steals. P.J. Page, a forward from Copiague, and guard Lylle Ryals scored 11 points apiece.
Page and Stanley helped seal the win during an 11-0 run that made it 45-33 with 8:37 to play.
Raven Pentz powered the women’s team (23-5, 13-3 Skyline) with 20 points, including 17 in the second half, and five assists in a 57-43 win over top-seeded The Sage Colleges (21-6, 15-1 Skyline).
Old Westbury led 20-18 at the half and widened its lead with a 22-11 third quarter.

Respond to Review of The Kasbah
Review: This place has a very nice concept, but the execution is somewhat flawed. The service is very friendly. They recommended fava beans with hummus, and the hummus was delicious. However the beans were obviously from a can. The olives that came as a side dish were of the cheapest supermarket brand and didn't taste like olives at all. With it came a slightly uninspiring salad. It is completely overpriced for a meal that takes so little effort to make and where ingredients are of the cheapest supermarket kind available. The Indian restaurant across the square (Gutta fra Calcutta), where they have several vegetarian options available, is a much better choice for a meal, and the price range isn't much higher.


A Scouting group is celebrating after its trailer which had been stolen was recovered and returned to its rightful owner by police.
An eagle-eyed young Scout from the 2nd Atherton Scouts group spotted the trailer outside an address in Atherleigh and alerted the leaders.
“It is now back in our possession with our faith in the rule of the law greatly restored.”Group assistant leader Paul Grimshaw
The trailer, which was stolen in March, was used to transport all their equipment to weekend camps and was bought and renovated for £650 after the youngsters spent a weekend bag packing at a supermarket.
After the unexpected discovery of the trailer the group got in touch with Greater Manchester Police (GMP), who were able to recover it and give it back to the group.
Group assistant leader Paul Grimshaw said: “One of our Scouts saw the trailer while she was doing her paper round and thought it looked a lot like the one we had.
“She remembered some of the badges on it and in particular a distinctive horseshow one which had been painted over. Her dad is a fellow Scout leader so we went down to have a look and it was clearly our trailer.
“Our children did fund-raising to buy it and I told them if it hadn’t been found they would have been back in Atherton’s Tesco some point soon.
“The police got involved and much to our surprise the decision was reached within a couple of weeks in our favour.
“It is now back in our possession with our faith in the rule of the law greatly restored. It’s a good result for us. We’re just pleased we’ve got it back.”
A police investigation revealed the new owner had bought the trailer on the side of a road in North Wales so will not face prosecution as he is an innocent purchaser.
Paul says the recovery of the trailer means the groups based at the headquarters on Leigh Road in Howe Bridge will be able to enjoy more easily the outdoor pursuits which form a key part of the Scouting experience.
Following the theft earlier this year the scouts had already received generous donations from Atherton residents and a local charity for a replacement and Paul says this money will now be used to help another group buy a similar trailer.

A champion Rotorua boxer will get six weeks of relative freedom before being sentenced alongside a former Rotorua police officer for defeating the course of justice.
It can now be revealed that Tyson Jack Sykes was sentenced earlier this year to home detention after being convicted for dealing cannabis, unlawful possession of a firearm and unlawful possession of ammunition.
Police searched his house in March 2018, found cannabis and firearms and seized his phone. Facebook messages found on the phone formed the basis of the evidence presented this year in a Rotorua District Court trial relating to Sykes and Rotorua police officer Melissa-Mae Ruru ripping off the community work scheme.
Sykes, 32, appeared in court yesterday when his lawyer successfully got his bail conditions varied. It means he can be remanded on bail without strict conditions between when his home detention sentence finishes in December and he is sentenced in January alongside Ruru.
Sykes and Ruru were found guilty in August of one count of attempting to defeat the course of justice in 2017.
The jury cleared them of a charge relating to Ruru, a detective constable who was seen as a poster girl for New Zealand Police, taking on the role of Sykes' "sponsor" to ensure he did his community work ordered by the court for a charge of disqualified driving.
The jury heard evidence via hundreds of Facebook messages between the two that showed she signed off community work hours he didn't complete.
The Crown presented evidence she did this out of a misguided loyalty to him because she was also his boxing manager and was helping him to get to the Rio Olympics.
Ruru, who was also an Olympic hopeful in volleyball, was also found guilty of two separate forgery charges after the jury found she signed Sykes' signature on community work forms and an Olympic form.
The charges have been before the court since 2018 but the pair were granted name suppression until the conclusion of the trial, which was lifted upon their guilty verdicts.
Sykes' separate drugs and firearms charges could not be reported earlier as it could have prejudiced his trial.
Judge Phillip Cooper has just released the sentencing notes relating to those charges to the Rotorua Daily Post.
The notes said Sykes pleaded guilty to the charge of possession of cannabis for sale and was found guilty at a judge-alone trial of the firearms charges.
Sykes was charged after his Steeles Lane home was searched by police on March 15, 2018 and police found 100g of cannabis plant in a plastic bin in the hot-water cupboard, 2g of cannabis head in the kitchen, 2.3kg of cannabis head and stalks in the basement and one mature cannabis plant in the backyard.
Analysis of text data on his phone found on two occasions he was in possession of cannabis tinnies for the purpose of sale and on a third occasion, an unknown person contacted him asking him the price for an ounce of cannabis.
Police also found a .303 calibre bolt action rifle in his bedroom wardrobe and 4 bullets in different areas of the house. Sykes is not a firearms licence holder.
The sentencing notes said Sykes had 28 previous convictions, two for violence, some for dishonesty, and some for driving but the bulk were for non-compliance with sentences of the court. There were none for drugs and firearms offences.
Judge Snell gave Sykes credit for a favourable report written by Billy Macfarlane, who leads a Puwhakamua tikanga programme in Rotorua to help offenders change their ways.
"In my view, the report from Mr Macfarlane is wholly positive as to your progress and as to your attitude."
He was sentenced to 10 months' home detention, which ends on December 4.
Sykes and Ruru were to be sentenced on their charges on October 23 but Judge Cooper adjourned sentencing until January 19 next year as he wanted Sykes' home detention sentence to be completed before sentencing.
Yesterday Sykes' lawyer, Tim Braithwaite, asked Judge Cooper if his client could be remanded on bail, rather than electronic bail, until his January sentence.
Braithwaite said his client had spent a long time either in custody, on electronic bail and on home detention while the matters went through the court and he would like a "break" from them.
Crown prosecutor Duncan McWilliam asked that a curfew be imposed from 9pm until 7am but Braithwaite said that effectively meant little would change for Sykes and he would still be stuck at home.
"He would be tied to that address over Christmas when he would like to take his family away."
Judge Cooper yesterday said home detention was an option for Sykes when he was sentenced in January and allowed Braithwaite's request.
He said he didn't see a need to impose a curfew as he wasn't a flight risk and only imposed conditions that he lived at a certain address and not consume illegal drugs.
Those bail conditions would apply from December 4 when his home detention sentence ended.


Safe to say this is strike two for one of the league's most promising players. For Baylor, it could put a damper on their early season plans, too.
Gordon didn't miss any game time last year for the arrest, and was on the field a week later. This time around, it's hard to imagine him suiting up for the season opener against TCU, a Top 25 team that beat the Bears 45-10 last year.
Gordon is a huge piece, literally and figuratively, for the Bears offense, and if he's not on the field, Baylor's upset chances take a huge hit.
Though, considering Gordon's history, Briles' reputation could take a hit if Gordon is on the field. Not a fun situation to be in for either party.
Baylor has one of the league's best and deepest receiving corps, but Gordon is the second target behind Kendall Wright and caught 42 passes for 714 yards and seven touchdowns. He led the Big 12 in yards per reception last year, with an astounding 17 yards per catch as the deep threat that helps make room for Wright to operate in space against defenses.
We'll see if he gets a chance to build on his numbers from last year in the Bears' season opener on Sept. 2, a Friday night game against the Horned Frogs on ESPN.

Girls in Secure Juvenile Detention in Florida
A brief titled “Girls in Secure Detention in Florida” was released today by NCCD to provide insight on keeping girls who don’t pose a public safety risk out of Florida’s juvenile justice system. The timing of the release is tied to a statewide press conference being held today in Tallahassee by the Children’s Campaign and the Delores Barr Weaver Policy Center. With support from the Jessie Ball duPont Fund, the Policy Center partnered with NCCD to produce the brief. The press conference will include discussion regarding a number of studies being released this week, with an emphasis on the need for prevention and early intervention services and strategies so girls do not become involved in the juvenile justice system. NCCD’s brief is available here.


It’s Emyli here, America’s Online Dating Coach. When I was in school I studied politics. My favorite class was Campaign Strategy with Dan Schnur.
In class we read a terrific book called Hardball: How Politics Is Played By One Who Knows The Game.
In this book, Chris Matthews shares valuable lessons that apply, not just to politics, but also to dating. One of them is a common saying called “hang a lantern.”
To “hang a lantern” is a political tactic used by a candidate to reveal a major weakness up front, before his opponent has the opportunity to use it against him.
You might call it one of the best pre-emptive ploys in avoiding unnecessary recon.
So how does it work in dating?
I’ll show you…
Now I wanna hear from you…how did my video help you? Tell me about a time when you recently used my dating confidence strategies to your benefit…
And keep up the good work because You Deserve the Perfect Partner!

The New York Times' Nagourney looks at the stakes for Palin in Thursday's debate. "The amount of time and staff power being devoted to [her debate prep] was evidence of concern among Mr. McCain's associates that Ms. Palin's early triumphs — a well-received convention speech, her drawing of big crowds — has been overtaken by a series of setbacks, creating higher stakes for her in the debate Thursday… 'I think she has pretty thoroughly — and probably irretrievably — proven that she is not up to the job of being president of the United States," David Frum, a former speechwriter for President Bush who is now a conservative columnist, said in an interview. "If she doesn't perform well, then people see it.'"
Meanwhile, the Washington Post writes a piece noting Biden's penchant for making gaffes. "Unlike his Republican counterpart, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, Biden has not been shy about talking to reporters, but comments he has made since Obama chose him last month have presented Democrats with their own problems and revived the longtime senator's reputation for gaffes."
Politico's Roger Simon reports that Biden will most likely go easy on Palin. "If Sarah Palin goofs, flounders, stumbles or blunders during her debate against Joe Biden on Thursday night, Biden is going to let it slide. 'If she makes a gaffe, he underplays it,' one of the people prepping Biden for his vice presidential debate told me. 'At most, he says, "I am not sure what Gov. Palin meant there."'"
"Second, Biden knows the press is going to pounce on any mistakes, and so he does not need to. Third, and most important, Sarah Palin is not Biden's true target. 'Joe Biden's No. 1 job during the vice presidential debate is to keep the focus on the top of the ticket,' the Biden debate prepper told me. 'He is going to keep the focus on John McCain.'"
The Washington Post's Ruth Marcus dreams of having McCain debate -- drum roll, please -- Sarah Palin. "I can understand how he views Obama as untested and unprepared. I can't square that dismissive attitude with McCain's selection of Palin."

The story of slavery and abolition in United States history
by Altman, Linda Jacobs, 1943-
|Format:||Print Book 2015|
|Availability:||Available at 1 Library 1 of 1 copy|
Prior to the end of the Civil War in 1865, many considered slavery vital to the economy of the United States, especially in the South. Most people in the North came to reject slavery for moral or political reasons. Influential Northerners spearheaded the abolition movement. In this well-researched account, author Linda Jacobs Altman explores how abolitionists used words, money, violence, or simply courage, to fight to free the slaves. Tracing the history of slavery from its origins in America through its legal end with the Thirteenth Amendment, Altman shows how abolitionists and slaves helped make the Civil War a fight not only to preserve the Union, but to make the nation free.

As part of preparations for the meeting on the resettlement of citizens from the labor-surplus regions to the labor-deficit ones, members of the Onir parliamentary group continue their visits to the regions. Today, senators Yerik Sultanov, Alimzhan Kurtayev, and Altynbek Nukhuly have visited Ekibastuz city of the Pavlodar region.
During their trip, the deputies visited the micro-districts of the city, which are considered as a potential area for the construction of houses for the resettlers. Afterward, a meeting was held with the participation of the city activists to discuss the issues of resettlement arrangements.
“Despite the existing challenges, about 9 thousand people have already arrived in the Pavlodar region. Thus, the settling rate of resettlers is 97%. This is evidence that the local authorities provide the necessary conditions for the arriving citizens,” senator Yerik Sultanov noted during the meeting
Senators paid close attention to the problems that regions are currently experiencing in the implementation of the program of voluntary resettlement.
“Today, we discuss the possibility of increasing the resettlement quota from 2 thousand to 10 thousand families per year. And to implement it through group resettlement by 5-20 families to one populated area to make adaptation conditions easier,” Alimzhan Kurtayev said.
Also, in the course of the meeting, First Deputy Chairman of the World Association of Kazakhs Zautbek Turisbekov made a presentation of the Asar pilot project to the regional activists, designed to relocate kandases from the south to the north of the country.
Apart from that, the senators learned about the progress of implementation of the instructions of the Head of State on the development of single-industry towns. Thus, during the meeting, the senators were presented with the Comprehensive Plan for the Development of Ekibastuz city until 2025.

Blockchains as chains of blocks. Cryptography hashes.
When the crisis started to worsen, the government of the United States, just like the governments of many other countries, has decided that it was better to save some companies from bankruptcy that it was to let them fail. The logic of the governments was simple: allowing powerful players to go out of business would place great stress on the economy and letting them stay in business would help the economy recover.
The governments provided companies with money through an economic process known as quantitative easing, which in simple terms means printing money. The government would take more debt and use the debt to bail out the companies. The debt would become a part of the total debt of the country, which means that it would be not just the companies and the banks paying it, but also regular citizens. In turn, this means that regular people who didn’t make any bad decisions or assumptions now had to pay for the mistakes of the few large players, meaning banks, insurance companies, and others, where people were making very large amounts of money prior to the crisis and were able to keep the money.
Blockchain technology: the same rules for everyone.
On a decentralized blockchain the scenario described above is not possible because there is no central authority that can decide to change the rules of the game. The software code of public blockchains is open source, which means that anybody can download it and check what’s in it. Then, users start participating in the life of a network and introduction of changes requires users freely deciding to download and start using new software. All the activities a blockchain network become a part of the blockchain.
The second part of the word “blockchain” is the word “chain.” It means that blocks (or pages of a ledger) are connected into a chain, similarly to how pages in a financial ledger are a part of one notebook.
Most blockchain networks, including Bitcoin, connect blocks into chains using cryptography hashes.
A cryptography hash is a function of a cryptography algorithm that generates a string of code for a set of data. It works similarly to the mathematical functions you use on a daily basis. For example, two plus two equals for mathematically speaking means that when you apply the mathematical function of addition to a set of two numbers – two and two – the result of is four. Just like that, when you apply a hashing function using cryptography algorithm SHA-256, that the Bitcoin network uses, to a set of data with transactions in a Bitcoin blockchain block, you get a hash.
For instance, block #531206 of the Bitcoin blockchain contains full information about 1594 transactions, including timestamps, addresses and amounts. You can see all this information by accessing the page of the block on the Bitcoin blockchain explorer (you can do the same for any block of the Bitcoin in existence by the time you are reading this article) located at https://www.blockchain.com/en/btc/block/0000000000000000000a1d6eb902bd457babb98402fa26ed381e65372edcdc76 yet the hash for the block is only 0000000000000000000a1d6eb902bd457babb98402fa26ed381e65372edcdc76, which is also the information you can see on the page.
Properties of cryptography hashes
Cryptography hashes have several important properties that make them an extremely secure tool. First, a set of data in a cryptography algorithm can have one and only one hash. Another way to say this is that a cryptography algorithm always generates unique hashes. If two or more people generate a hash using the same cryptography algorithm and obtain the same hash, it means that they used the same set of data. At the same time, hashes for even very similar sets of data look very different. Because of this, a cryptography hash is a great way to check the validity of data.
On blockchain networks such as Bitcoin, each next block of the blockchain contains a hash for the previous block. This is where the word “chain” comes into play because hashes are how blockchains connect blocks of the ledger into a chain. For example, block #531206 contains the hash for the block #531205, which is 000000000000000000095ec8cc210fd982aaefff131205769ed429b64ed36306. You can see this hash both on the page of the block 531206 (located here https://www.blockchain.com/en/btc/block/0000000000000000000a1d6eb902bd457babb98402fa26ed381e65372edcdc76 ) and on the page of the block 531205 (located here https://www.blockchain.com/en/btc/block/000000000000000000095ec8cc210fd982aaefff131205769ed429b64ed36306). The fact that a set of data can have only one hash is what makes blockchains immutable and so different from regular file storage that most companies use today. Let’s say somebody wanted to change information about one transaction in the block #531205 of the Bitcoin blockchain. If they were to do that, then the block would have a completely different hash from the hash of the block with the original data. Because the next block in the blockchain, block #531206, contains the hash of the original block, a block with the edited information would simply not fit into the blockchain. To change the data, the editor would need to change the block and all the blocks that came after it, and then also somehow change all the copies of the blockchain on all the computers all around the world.
