The Biden administration has been giving illegal immigrants at the southern border incorrect information about where they can find shelter in New York City.
Local WNBC News 4 reported Friday that they obtained documents from the Department of Homeland Security that show federal officials have been handing out faulty paperwork to migrants in Texas bound for New York City. Instead of directing them to appropriate shelters the documents often provide information for sites that don't accommodate families or that are office buildings, leaving the migrants stranded or stuck on the street.
Josh Goldfein, a lawyer for the Legal Aid Society’s Homeless Rights Project, said, "It’s clear that somebody at the border is giving people information that is not accurate about why they should come to New York, where they should go when they get to New York — that is definitely happening."
New York City Democrat Mayor Eric Adams said on July 21 that he cannot handle the recent increase of over 2,800 migrants into NYC's homeless and public welfare programs and that it was a real "burden" to the already "overburdened shelter system."
According to News 4, the NYC shelter system is taxed less from a recent increase of migrants and more because of issues such as understaffing and a recent rise in evictions.
Adams has asked the Biden Administration for help with the increase in illegal immigrants coming to NYC because the federal government is bussing them en masse to the metropolis despite having no ties to the city.
New York City has a "right to shelter" law due to the final judgment in the 2008 case Boston v. City of New York.
No matter the burden, it's NYC law that if someone arrives at a designated city facility seeking shelter, they must be housed by the next morning.
The New York Post cited the example of a family from Venezuela who didn't even ask to go to NYC but ended up there through circuitous migrant transport. The family's matriarch, 28-year-old Veronica Prada told of how she, her husband, and their two young children "crossed the US-Mexico border into San Antonio, Texas, on July 11."
Border Patrol took them to an immigrant processing facility where they were explained the asylum process and given an appointment with an immigration lawyer all the way up in the Bronx, New York on August 23. After assistance from two Catholic churches, one in San Antonio and then one in Washington, DC where the family was briefly bussed, they eventually landed in Upper Manhattan.
NYC Social Services Commissioner Gary Jenkins has suggested the city set up a "welcome center" for migrants near US Immigration Court in Lower Manhattan or the homeless intake center.
DC's Democrat Mayor Muriel Bowser recently joined Adams in complaining about an increase of migrants in her city and said "the pace of arriving buses and the volume of arrivals have reached tipping points," leaving the city "overwhelmed." Bowser recommended that the National Guard come in to help.

|Speaking of Bodies|
Embodiment in Arabic Morphology
The publication of Metaphors We Live By, (Lakoff and Johnson, University of Chicago Press, 1980), precipitated an explosion of inquiry into the pervasive role of the body in metaphor, and “embodiment” quickly became a hot interdisciplinary topic. From literature, psycho-linguistics and anthropology to philosophy, gender studies, and beyond, researchers have shown, in language after language, that the body is essential to our thinking and the source of innumerable figurative expressions. Embodiment refers not just to explicit imagery involving body parts, but also to metaphoric expressions that implicate the body. Who has not felt the pangs of love, the heat of anger, the ache of loss? For better and for worse, our experience of life is intrinsically bound up in the body, and human languages reflect this universal truth.
Arabic, however, seems to have received less than its fair share of research on embodiment, at least in English publications. The only researchers I am aware of who have investigated body metaphor in Arabic and published the results in English are Ateek, Hassan, Naylor, & Sarofim in A Roving Eye, (Cairo, New York: AUC Press, 2014), a bilingual and pictorial exploration of body idioms in Egyptian Arabic, and the prolific Zouheir Maalej. Beginning in 2004 and using Tunisian Arabic as his corpus, Maalej has written widely on metaphoric expression involving the body and emotion, with articles on anger and fear, the heart and the eye, the head and the hand. He also co-edited Embodiment via Body Parts, (Amsterdam, Philadelphia: John Benjamins Publishing Co., 2011) a study of the figurative use of body parts in such diverse languages as Chinese, Japanese, Estonian, Greek, Danish, and German.
What my study adds to the just-emerging discussion of linguistic embodiment in Arabic is the way in which Arabic morphology systematically exploits roots referring to body parts to create constellations of vocabulary which are semantically and metaphorically connected. This fact is of particular relevance to second language learners and teachers. So far, in terms of academia, the intriguing intersection of embodiment and Arabic morphology is virgin territory. My paper examines the basic issue of embodiment in Arabic, and offers specific illustrations of its powerful, coherent, and poetic presence in morphology. Exploring this domain enriches metaphoric and cultural competence and also has important pedagogic implications.

A Brief History of Saabs
Saab Automotive AB was a Swedish carmaker and was launched in 1949 when its parent company SAAB AB elected to design a small automobile. In 1968, the parent company merged with Scania-Vabis to form Saab Scania, and, shortly after, Saab’s 900 models (the most popular model Saab would produce) was created. In 2000, Saab became a wholly-owned subsidiary of General Motors (GM). The company would continue to operate under GM until 2010. GM decided to sell Saab Automotive to a Dutch manufacturer called Spyker Cars NV. Saab filed for bankruptcy in 2011 after GM blocked the sale of the company to a Chinese buyer. This was due to the company not wanting a Chinese company to have access to their technology. In 2012, a company called National Electric Vehicle Sweden NEVS bought the bankrupt company and created the (NEVS) Saab 9-3. This didn’t last long, because in 2014, NEVS lost licensing, allowing it to manufacture cars using the Saab name. This marked the end of Saab Automotive.
Popular Vehicles and Scope of Models
The Saab 900 was the best-selling car the company ever produced. This model was in production from 1978 to 1998. And behind the 900 in popularity, the Saab 9-3 sedan follows. This model was in production from 1998 to 2014. Although Saab closed its doors for good in 2014, NEVS continues to produce vehicles with the same production model as the Saab 9-3.
NEVS announced that it was restarting production at the Saab factory in Trollhattan. They will be using the facility to build a new line of electric cars including an electric version of the Saab 9-3, and production there was restarted in 2018. NEVS (now owned by a Chinese company) rushed to begin production at this facility again, because of the growing demand for electric vehicles and hybrids in Chinese and European markets.
Scope of Saab Models
During their time as an automotive manufacturer, Saab almost exclusively produced small car models. The Saab 9000 was one of the company’s most popular cars during its peak in the late 80s-early 90s. This model was a big part of Saab’s invasion into the executive car manufacturing scene. Production of the Saab 9000 was stopped in 1997, and the model was replaced by the 9-5 model which would remain in production until 2012 when the company halted production on all models. The last model Saab would produce that was truly special was the 9-3 TurboX SportsCombi wagon. This model featured a 250 horsepower turbocharged V6 engine and all-wheel drive. The Saab 9-3 and 9-5 exteriors were appealing in the last years of the company’s existence. They were built on the Cadillac LBS platform because GM owned Saab at the time these cars were being produced in high volume.
Saab was a famous marque at its peak, but the company ultimately could not survive its bankruptcy period. As a producer of executive cars and premium compact sedans, Saab was a great choice of vehicles before its dismantlement.

Women making an average of £339 a month from second jobs
17 per cent of women in the UK have a ‘side-hustle’, a second job on the side of their main source of income, while 33% say they would like to have one in the future, according to a new study by Informi, who provide expert advice and guidance for small businesses.
Those women who have a side-hustle make an average of approximately £339 a month from it – compared to an average of £482 for men – totalling £4,068 over the course of a year. Three per cent of them reported that they make at least £2,000 every month from their second venture, which is almost equivalent to the average UK salary.
Most women with a side-hustle say their boss in their main job is aware of it (76%), but a small minority (8%) warned they believe their employer is not overly happy with them carrying out a second job. 9 per cent say they keep it on the down low and their employer is completely unaware they have a secondary venture.
The main reasons for having a side-hustle are:
- To earn more money, said by 64%
- To develop skills, said by 24%
- To have more creative freedom, said by 16%
“With many Britons feeling a strain on finances, coupled with the rise in the gig economy and technological advances, there’s never been a better time to have your own small business venture in addition to your main job,” said Steven Drew, product manager for Informi. “This could just mean earning a bit of extra pocket money, but equally if you hit on a great business idea, could need you devoting a substantial amount of time and energy into seeing your venture achieve its full potential.”
“There are great opportunities out there to earn potentially significant sums and also develop your business skills. A successful business venture involves many ingredients – marketing, finance, sales and technology to name but a few – so people should be aware of the online tools available, designed to offer support and guidance that could see your side-hustle develop into your main job.”
How I came to run my own wide-fit shoe company
Kate Owen, 40, runs her own Sargasso & Grey shoe company while also working in wealth management. “I’m not a born entrepreneur,” she says, “but in my job, I come into contact with so many dynamic people; it’s inspiring!”
The company was conceived when Kate found her feet widening during her pregnancy. “I had to throw half of my shoes away. It was depressing. And I couldn’t find any stylish shoes to fit.”
“People ask why I didn’t set up as a sole trader. But I always had bigger ambitions; and whilst I don’t employ anyone directly yet, I intend to in the future.”
Kate discussed the business launch with her employer when she returned from maternity leave. “I think it’s important to be upfront. And I always make sure that when I’m at work, I’m 100% committed to what I’m doing.”
“It’s crazy to take a leap of faith, especially with a mortgage! I’ve gone part time at work, so I have made financial sacrifices, but having a regular income means I don’t have as much pressure on profit straight away.”

Carbon Farming – Extension & Outreach. This project provided horticultural growers with tailored information and tools to pursue carbon farming, emissions reductions and carbon sequestration in their farming and packing enterprises. The project enabled growers to make informed decisions by increasing their understanding of carbon mitigation in horticulture. This has encouraged growers to consider emissions management as part of their everyday management decision.
Carbon Farming – Action on the Ground. This project demonstrated the use of nitrification inhibitors with fertilisers in subtropical horticulture production with the aim to reduce emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O), a major greenhouse gas. On-farm trials provided real-world comparisons between the growers’ current standard fertiliser practices with those employing nitrification inhibitors with the same nitrogen application rates.
Carbon & Sustainability – emissions demonstration. This project demonstrated the effects of various farm management practices on greenhouse gas emissions and soil carbon levels. Practices under investigation include minimum till, fertiliser application methods, the addition of biochar and nitrification inhibitors. Field sites were located on production farms in the Granite Belt and Lockyer Valley. (Funded by the Climate Change Research Program of the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry).
Enhancing resilience and recovery. This project investigated aspects of farm design and practice that maximise resilience to natural disasters. It also identified the steps required to enable producers to rapidly rebuild their lives and businesses following natural disasters. The primary output was a disaster recovery toolbox. (Funded by a DEEDI Rural Resilience Package Industry Grant).
Economic impact of carbon price. This project produced a detailed but easy-to-comprehend summary of the key mechanics of the proposed carbon pricing mechanism (Clean Energy Future policy). It included an analysis of the economic impacts of the projected cost increases including bottom-line impacts on farm profitability, and outline strategies to minimise exposure to the carbon price. (Funded by Horticulture Australia Limited).
Opportunities in the Carbon Farming Initiative. This project assessed opportunities for horticultural enterprises to generate credits in the Carbon Farming Initiative (CFI). Particular topics included the identification of possible activities and methodologies, an assessment of R&D requirements, estimates of the emissions abatement and carbon sequestration potential for a number of key commodity groups, and an estimate of realistic income potential from activities in the CFI. (Funded by Horticulture Australia Limited).
Critical thresholds. We collaborated with Agri-Science Queensland to assess the impact of projected temperature increases on a range of major fruit and vegetable crops. This project identified a number of crops and regions that may be impacted by climate change, and suggested practical adaptation measures to reduce these impacts.
Climate change for the apple and pear industry. This project identified the potential impacts of climate change on apple and pear production. Climate modelling was used to assess the potential climate risks across all Australian growing regions. It provided a summary of regionally-specific adaptation and management practices for changes in temperature, water availability and the impacts of pests/diseases. (Funded by Horticulture Australia Limited)
Climate change for the avocado industry. Information on the effect of current climate variability on avocado production was used to determine the potential impacts of climate change on this industry, and to identify specific management strategies that can be employed. Climate projections were used to assess the level of vulnerability in different production regions. This project also summarised key aspects of carbon mitigation policies that are relevant to the avocado industry. (Funded by Horticulture Australia Limited)
Climate RD&E review. Growcom was contracted by Horticulture Australia Limited (HAL) to review the industry’s climate research, development and extension needs. This project identified priorities for industry investment in RD&E. (Funded by Horticulture Australia Limited)
NurseryFootprint. We developed a carbon footprint calculator to suit the specific needs of the Australian nursery and garden industry. (Funded by Nursery & Garden Industry Australia)

UPDATE: Former Furman football player charged with vandalism, bringing guns on campus no longer enrolled
Note: This story has been updated to reflect that Travelers Rest Municipal Judge Jasmine Twitty released the vandalism ticket to The Greenville News.
A former Furman University football player has been charged with vandalism after students returned from fall break to find anti-Semitic symbols and "sexually explicit" comments displayed on dormitory doors.
Dan Marwick Dodd III, a former offensive lineman with the Furman Paladins, was out on bond after reportedly bringing guns on campus when he was charged in connection to the vandalism, court records show.
The university confirmed Dodd was still enrolled as a freshman at the school as of Thursday, but associate athletic director Hunter Reid said he is no longer a member of the football team.
By Friday, Dodd was no longer enrolled at the school, a university spokesman said in an email Tuesday.
The graffiti was drawn on white boards that hang on dorm-room doors at Blackwell Hall, a co-ed dormitory for freshmen, said Clinton Colmenares, a Furman spokesman.
An email sent from Furman University to people across campus on Oct. 28 said the university's police department identified two students who were allegedly involved and the graffiti was an isolated incident.
"One of the students, who is accused of drawing the swastikas, has been charged criminally with vandalism under South Carolina law," the email said. "That student, as well as the other, who is suspected of being an accomplice, also face multiple Student Conduct Code charges. Federal privacy laws prevent us from identifying the students or any of the ultimate sanctions they may face. Regardless of intent, the use of language or symbols that cause intimidation, alienation or other harm are serious offenses and will not be tolerated, as outlined in the Student Handbook."
The vandalism ticket issued by Furman police said the graffiti was done on Oct. 14 and that Dodd was charged on Oct. 25.
Football player charged with bringing guns on Furman's campus
A few weeks before the vandalism charge, Dodd was charged on Sept. 22 with carrying or displaying firearms in public buildings or adjacent areas after campus police saw two guns in the passenger seat of a pickup truck, according to court documents.
Furman police and university officials would not provide the incident reports or any information about the case, citing the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act.
FERPA, however, according to the U.S. Department of Education's website, does not apply to law enforcement records.
"Law enforcement unit records' (i.e., records created by a law enforcement unit at the educational agency or institution, created for a law enforcement purpose, and maintained by the law enforcement unit) are not 'education records' subject to the privacy protections of FERPA," the agency's website says.
The Travelers Rest Municipal Court processed the vandalism ticket.
After multiple requests for the ticket, Travelers Rest Judge Jasmine Twitty instructed The News to file a Freedom of Information Act request with the Travelers Rest Police Department, and released the document shortly after that request was submitted.
Speaking to The News on Wednesday, Dodd's father, Danny Dodd Jr., said the incidents were unrelated and blown out of proportion.
"My son's been charged with possession of a hunting firearm on campus that was in his truck — not out in public, not out for anybody's use — that was stowed away in his vehicle during hunting season," Danny Dodd Jr. said.
Danny Dodd Jr. said his son plans on fighting the vandalism charge because there was no destruction of property.
Colmenares said the graffiti was erased from the white boards after it was discovered.
"The vandalism charge is going to be fought — it's not an act of vandalism on the property," Danny Dodd Jr. said. "There was no destruction of property."
'It's just bad decisions'
Danny Dodd Jr. and his wife said their son did not intend to cause harm with the graffiti and that it was a joke that other students were involved in.
"It's just bad decisions — apparently there was a joke going around campus," Danny Dodd Jr. said. "There was no foul-play, no hatred or nothing else involved with it. There was a lot of people involved in the whole situation, and I think he's basically become the scapegoat for it."
But Manya Gerstley, a freshman at Furman who is Jewish who does not live in Blackwell Hall, said the graffiti caused harm, even if it was a joke.
"I kind of felt like I was unsafe and unwanted at this point in time at this school," Gerstley said. "I just did not feel welcome."
Danny Dodd Jr. said university officials are still investigating the charges.
Sports Editor Jim Rice contributed to this report.

Look at how they cared for Dongwan who was sick & tried to make him laugh again! only real friends do that or even notice or care that their sick friend laughed.
& that’s why Shinhwa is friendship goals. The time when you wish to have friends like them. Real friends who’ll put you as top priority in their lives, caring for you in ur hard times & doing their best to cheer you up. Such a true life-long friendship. Thank you Andy, thank you Leader Eric, thank you to every member in Shinhwa for always being there for each other & for giving us good examples of true friendship in this life ♥
I wish I was someone's best friend, have someone really truly enjoy hanging out with me... i have friends but they always would rather hangout with someone else. I feel lonely and unwanted and at times suicidal because i just want someone to care about me as much as i do them.

First and foremost, I want to say thank you. I have turned to these forums for the last few months and have learned so much already. After struggling with doubts about a few choices, I wanted to post here to ask for some advice for our trip next month.
My husband and I are in our late 20s and will be traveling from Sept 22nd - Oct 5th. We were fortunate enough to be provided with free round trip business class airfare on Edelweiss, but are required to fly in/out of Zurich. However, we don't have much of an interest in Zurich since there are so many other wonderful places to visit. We are mainly interested in the B.O. area of Switzerland and the Bavarian porition of Germany. We thought it best to do the "loop" idea to start and end in Zurich. We will be traveling mostly by train, with the exception of having a rental car during our Germany portion. We enjoy scenery/nature, a little adventure, and some relaxing and soaking it all in as well.
Our tenative plans are as follows:
Saturday - Arrive Zurich 10 am. Leave for Lauterbrunnen (our base for B.O) around 2pm. Explore Lauterbrunnen and check into hotel for an early evening.
Sunday, Monday & Tuesday - Gimmelwald, Jungfrau, Trummelbach Waterfalls, Murren
* Need to figure out a way to get to Chur or St. Moritz to do Bernina Express on Wednesday
Wednesday - Bernina Express...Start at Chur or St. Moritz, lunch in Poschiavo, ending in Tirano. We don't have an interest in staying in these areas, mainly just want to do the B.E.
* We would like to go to Venice from here, but we're finding that we may only be able to go back through Milan and then on to Venice. Can anyone confirm/deny this?
Thursday - Venice
Friday - Venice - Night train to Salzburg
Saturday - Salzburg
Sunday - Salzburg/Hallstatt
Monday - Pick up rental car in Munich. Visit Oktoberfest (I have read that one day here is enough). Stay the night somewhere else...rooms were too expensive in Munich.
Tuesday & Wednesday - Germany
* Not sure what areas, but strongly considering Stuttgart and the Black Forest area since we would like to visit the Porsche museum
Thursday - Fussen - Neuschwanstein & Hohenschwangau Castles
Friday - Leave Fussen early to make 1pm flight out of Zurich
Are we trying to do too much? We've scaled our trip back quite a bit, and I would be heartbroken to miss out on some of these areas... but then again I don't want to kick myself later for not slowing down a little.
Does the order make sense? We thought about changing it go to St. Moritz first, then tack on the B.O. at the end to avoid some of the connection issues between the Berner Oberland to the Bernina Express, and Tirano to Venice. My concern is that we may spend an extra day here and there, and I don't want to cut short our time in the B.O. since we are most excited about visiting that area.
If we stick to the current order, do you have any suggestions for getting to the Bernina Express from the Jungfrau area? What about from Tirano to Venice?
Suggestions for a railpass? We considered the 3 country Eurail pass, but the trip from Venice to Salzburg would cost us more than just adding a 4th country (Austria). Also, since we will be doing most of our train travel in Switzerland, would it make more sense to get a Swiss Pass, and make other arrangements for the other train trips? I looked at the prices and wasn't impressed, so I honestly felt like the Eurail would be a better option. Thoughts or experience on this?
Sorry for all of the questions, but I think I'm starting to panic since our trip is 6 weeks away. Any help is GREATLY appreciated!

A Bangladeshi aircraft carrying 67 passengers and four crew crashed on Monday while coming in to land at the airport in the Nepali capital, Kathmandu, Reuters reports quoting an airport official.
Seventeen people on board had been reportedly rescued and were sent to hospitals.
A Nepali newspaper, Kathmandu Post, said many casualities are feared. Photographs show the aircraft was damaged.
However, the state of the other people on the flight from Dhaka, operated by US-Bangla Airlines, was not clear, airport spokesman Birendra Prasad Shrestha told Reuters.
"We are trying to bring the fire under control. Details are awaited," he said, adding that the airport had been shut down and all other flights diverted.
"We're now concentrating on evacuating the passengers."
Television images showed smoke rising from the crash site.
Mountainous Nepal is notorious for air accidents. Small aircraft often run into trouble at provincial airstrips.
A Thai Airways flight from Bangkok crashed while trying to land in Kathmandu in 1992 killing all on board.
US-Bangla Airlines is a unit of the US-Bangla Group, a US Bangladeshi joint venture company.
The Bangladeshi carrier launched operations in July 2014 and operates Bombardier Inc and Boeing aircraft.
Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA) authority has suspected casualty but the details are sketchy, said Kathmandu Post.
Tourism ministry’s joint secretary Suresh Acharya was quoted to have said 25 injured passengers have been rescued and sent to different hospitals for treatment.
TIA said there were 37 males, 27 females and two child onboard the aircraft.
Director general of Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN) Sanjiv Gautam said that the plane was out of control when it attempted to land on the runway.
“The aircraft was permitted to land from the Southern side of the runway over Koteshwor but it landed from the Northern side,” said Gautam suspecting the aircraft might have sustained some technical glitches. “We are yet to ascertain the reason behind the unusual landing,” he added.
According to TIA spokesperson PremNath Thakur, the 78-seater Bombardier Dash 8 Q400 aircraft caught fire after it careened off the runway during landing and crashed onto a football ground near TIA. The aircraft with call sign S2-AGU took off from Dhaka and landed at TIA at 2:20 pm.

Medical Cannabis and similar substances with the body’s natural cannabinoid receptors may be ideal candidates for pain management and treatment, according to new analyzes published in the journal Experimental and Clinical Pathology.
This analysis examined the cannabinoid-induced changes in pain ratings. Twenty-five reviewed studies identified them and met their criteria, including 2,248 participants.
The meta-analysis found that cannabinoid administration was related to greater pain reduction than placebo administration.
“Although our meta-analysis results recommend that cannabinoids are efficacious pain management choices, more analysis is required,” Yanes said. For example, our follow-up meta-regression results discovered that the study sample size was associated with determined pain reduction, such that smaller samples were related to larger effects.
Scientists are learning additional about, however, cannabis interacts with the brain and the body’s endogenous cannabinoid system. However, the mechanisms behind cannabis-induced pain reduction are still unclear.
Slightly reduced from sleeping pills, however, the following day can disturb people’s work and social life. As a consequence, some people try to drink marijuana for their symptoms. To learn more about these users, Worm and her colleague used survey information from Medical cannabis buyers at two U.S. grocery stores.
“In states wherever adult use of cannabis is legal, our analysis suggests that many people bypass the cannabis route (which requires registering with the state) and are instead choosing the privacy of a legal adult-use dispensary,” says Wurm.

As the Technology revolve, manufacturers are in high competition to winning the best (top) seller’s brand products in the market, this one thing Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 is not an exception. It is, therefore, in the budget aspect of marketing that smartphone companies move the most sustainable and outstanding volume of sales.
- Xiaomi Redmi 6 Pro specs and software
And Xiaomi being a top selling company since 2017 and in order to maintain its dominance, the company recently launched not one but another three new average budget Redmi smartphones.
Today, we’ll be checking out the Redmi 6 Pro which is supposed to be the most powerful in the new Redmi 6 series and is the first Redmi phone outside the Redmi Note series to sport the ‘Pro’ moniker.
Usually, Xiaomi uses this designation to indicate powerful hardware, and while the Redmi 6 Pro does have the strongest SoC of the new trio, the main differentiating factor for this model seems to be its notched display. This is also a first for a Redmi phone. Other than that, the Redmi 6 Pro seems to share most of its core specifications with existing Xiaomi models such as the Redmi (Review) and even the Redmi Note 5 which makes us wonder – other than the notch, does the Redmi 6 Pro bring anything drastically new to the table? We’re about to find out. Gadgets 360
This phone performed much better than expected according to many other customers reviews. Xiaomi has made a GOOD PHONE if you’re only willing to pay less than $200 in the open market. The camera is not bad, but in no way compares to the iPhone or S9 but should it attempt to be in comparison in later productions? This will be unveiled when it does. A customer said this in a review. “I dropped it once and it got scuffed up a bit but didn’t crack. I give it 5 stars for the price range, definitely worth the buy”
What else could a smartphone word if such could be achieved. This feature in the above comment can only be found common within the iOS devicesbut if Xiaomi could attempt this in such a competitive amount of low budget gadget, then, chances are, they are going to do something extraordinary in the future.
Xiaomi Redmi 6 Pro Specifications and Software
The 64GB ROM + 4GB RAM New amazing Xiaomi is an all-new 12nm octa-core processor, Faster multitasking allowing you handle multiple tasks at the same time without slow or freezes loading is a Non-removable Li-Po 3000 mAh battery.

Xiaomi Redmi 6 Pro Design
Seeing the materials used by the company and the trust, time and investment made in producing this gadget, the Redmi 6 Pro has been given somehow, better materials, in the form of a metal backplate. However, the overall design isn’t too different from what we’ve already seen from Xiaomi at around this price point.
The curvey nice looking Xiaomi came with no button just like every other Android device including previous Xiaomi family. Since it’s quite simple design but very authentic, you can be sure of a slice difference to other older versions. I will say, it performs better.
Thankfully, it boasts of a 1080 x 2280 screen resolution and a 19:9 aspect ratio, 1500:1 contrast ratio and 500 nits peak brightness, which is much like the Redmi Note 5 Pro. Hence, slimming down the bezels on the top and bottom borders.
As earlier said, according to a review by an Amazon Redmi 6 buyer, it was hypothesised that the phone can fall at a distance without any scratch on the screen or the back cover. This is how many quality materials where used.
The placement of ports is good because this can be annoying on some devices when it is wrongly placed by manufacturers. But it seems Xiaomi understood this and worked with the user’s feelings.
The mono speaker is placed at the bottom right which reduces chances of blocking it while using the phone in landscape mode are slim. The headphone socket is placed on the top, and you also get an infrared (IR) emitter which can be used to control IR appliances through the Mi Remote app.
The camera flashlight is right before the Fingerprint and the Camera itself appeared at the top of the back cover making it easier to take selfies without using the front camera.
With built-in accessories such as battery, memory and Sim slots, it’s more difficult to lose anything in situation of accidents. Consider when you are running to cross the road and all of the sudden your phone fall out your hand and the parts scatered. With Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro and all Redmi products, you are sure of safety.
Xiaomi Redmi 6 PRO
The newly launched Xiaomi Redmi 6 Pro is along the line of the Redmi 6 and 6A, that were launched earlier in the month of June 2018. And it arrives with huge specifications and features to top the game.
- Sharp Camera
- Low budget Gadget
- 4GB Ram
- Unattractive notch design
- Weak low-light camera performance
- App scaling is affected by the notch
- No dual 4G VoLTE

Out of all of these, the only one I no longer own today is the Kimber, just couldnt get it right (maybe it was me). As I said I shoot the H&K's alot and always carry the P2000sk. I cant speak about CC because I have never had one failure much less any other issues.
Good luck --> my advice is to get out and shoot your choices before you commit yourself to a single pistol or you may end up like me with a safe full of guns -- which is not bad either!

The content of the article:
History of the breed
In the very name of the breed, a German accent is clearly heard – the birthplace of compact shepherd dogs is the Swiss valley of Entlebuch, located in the cantons of Bern and Lucerne, and the mountain dog is translated as “alpine shepherd”.
Presumably, the ancestors of the Sennenhund were Roman Molossian Great Danes, but there is no solid evidence.
The main functions of the breed are grazing cattle in the highlands.
The first description of these dogs dates back to 1889, where they appear under the name “Entlebucher” – the researchers followed a simple path, naming the breed according to its main habitat. The Entlebuchers are the smallest of the four known species of Swiss herding dogs. For a long time, the Entlebucher Sennenhund was not separated from another breed – the Appenzeller.
At the beginning of the 20th century, in 1913, the small mountain dog was entered in the Swiss herd book as a separate species – following the results of the exhibition in Langenthal, where four representatives of the Entlebucher were presented. The well-known expert on mountain shepherd dogs, Professor Albert Heim, greatly influenced the decision of the judging committee..
The First World War had a strong negative impact on the development of the breed – after its end it was discovered that there were practically no purebred miniature mountain shepherds left. Dr. Kobler made a huge contribution to the restoration of the number of the smallest Mountain Dogs. He has traveled all over the Swiss highlands trying to find purebred breeders. As a result, the restoration of the breed was entrusted to the bitch Babeli, with which she successfully coped.
In 1926, on the initiative of Kobler, the Mountain Dog Entlebuch Club was created. The breed standard was developed a year later, and from that moment on, breeding and participation in specialized exhibitions of purebred dogs began. The breed did not gain much popularity, and the breeding of the Mountain Dog was progressing rather slowly.
The situation changed only in the middle of the 20th century, when really bright representatives of the breed appeared, possessing pronounced physical and external signs of the Sennenhund. The male Much, who won the title of international champion and won prizes at many European exhibitions, became a role model. Small dogs were seen as good companions and the demand for them increased.
In Europe, Mountain Dogs are famous and popular, and in Russia they are considered rather unusual pets. The first domestic breeders of this breed appeared only in the early 2000s, and there are still few nurseries dealing only with entles..

A compact, medium-sized dog with an elongated body. Like all Swiss Mountain Dogs, it has a tricolor color: red and white spots on a black background. Active and hardy.
- Height at withers – males: from 44 to 52 centimeters, females: from 42 to 50 centimeters.
- Weight – from 18 to 23 kilograms.
- Life span – up to 15 years old.
- Head – with a flat, wide skull tapering to the muzzle, the occipital protuberances are almost invisible. Muzzle – Well developed, creates a sense of power, tapers slightly, but not pointed. The nose line is straight. The lobe is black, protruding beyond the line of slightly pronounced lips adjacent to the jaw. The cheeks are almost invisible. The bite is correct, powerful. It can be scissor or pincer. The absence of premolars and 3 molars is acceptable.
- Eyes – small, round. The color ranges from dark to light brown. Eyelids with black edges fit snugly.
- Ears – small in size, set high and wide apart. Lobes hang, triangular in shape, distinctly rounded at the ends. The ear cartilage is strong and well-defined. The ears are flat in their normal state, when active they are slightly raised and acquire a forward direction.
- Neck – medium, muscular, dry, blending smoothly into the body.
- Body – strong, muscular, slightly elongated.
- Back – straight, broad, powerful, with a flexible and muscular lower back.
- Pelvis – rather long, slightly sloping.
- Chest – deep, elongated and wide, reaching to the elbows. The front part is pronounced. The ribs are sufficiently convex.
- Stomach – slightly tightened.
- Tail – extends the back, horizontal or hanging. There are dogs with a congenital short tail – this is permissible.
- Front limbs – developed, but not heavy, set of medium width. Feet – rather short and powerful, parallel, placed strictly under the body. Long shoulder blades, well muscled, oblique, reclining. The shoulders are slightly shorter than the shoulder blades. The forearms are short and straight, strong bones, dry. Elbows are close fitting. Pasterns – short, continuing the forearms, a small angle is visible from the side.
- Hind limbs – well-developed, well-muscled. Set straight, parallel to each other, medium. Long, broad, strong thighs form a wide angle with the lower leg. Dry drumsticks are approximately equal in length to the thighs. Hock joint – Strong, low, well angulated. Metatarsus are short and strong. Dewclaws are removed, except in states where it is legally prohibited..
- Paws – Rounded, arched toes fit tightly and point straight. Sufficient short, strong nails. Thick pillows.
- Wool – short, close to the skin, hard, shiny. Slightly wavy hair on the withers and back is acceptable but not desirable. Sufficiently thick undercoat.
- Color – tricolor. The main one is black, with markings: red (from yellow to red-brown) and white. Red – above the eyes, on the cheeks, front neck, muzzle, sides of the chest, all paws. On the paws, red markings are necessarily located between the black background and the white markings. White – from the top of the head to the muzzle, from the chin to the chest, on all legs, at the tip of the tail with a long tail. A small mark on the back of the head is possible, but not desirable. Undercoat – dark gray or brown.
Vices affecting the recognition of a purebred dog:
- Colors other than tricolor.
- Curled tail.
- Violation of the size and location of the eyelids.
- Long or soft coat.
- An iris colored yellow or blue.
- The main background of wool is not black.
- Growth impairment, both downward and upward.
- Shyness or excessive aggression.
The change of role – from shepherds to companions – happened for the Entles organically. They like to be in human society, to participate in the activities of the owner and his family. The dog is ready for any activity if the owner is a company. Friendliness, endurance and energy allow the companion to accompany the family to any place – he will not cause problems. Compact dogs quickly accept the rules of behavior and take care of the environment.
Despite the long years spent in the highlands, pets still prefer to live indoors, falling asleep on a bed with the owner or next to her.
When it snows, pets will be happy to drag sleds with children. Antley are great nannies. But there were some excesses. Dogs do not see the difference between an adult and a child, therefore they do not dose the power of expression of emotions. You should not have a Mountain Dog in a family with very small children – up to 7 years old. In addition, the shepherd’s habit of nibbling on the legs for educational purposes can result in a considerable number of bruises.
Little Mountain Dogs bark only for important reasons: if someone has violated the boundaries established by the dog, if there is a danger, if there is an incomprehensible activity. When the owner returns home, the pet will definitely express its joy with a booming bass. Sentinel, protective and surveillance functions are the duties of a shepherd. Representatives of the breed will not vote for no reason.
Herding skills did not disappear with the retraining of dogs into companions: dogs are jealous of the territory they consider their own, they will not let strangers or animals pass.
Entleys do not enter into conflicts, they are ready to constantly play and run, they are curious and smart, they clearly understand the boundaries of what is permitted. They don’t want leadership wars. Calmly treat other animals in the house. But they do not tolerate insults inflicted by strangers. If on the street a huge dog raised his voice to the pet, the mountain dog will not leave such an insult without a reaction: he will answer instantly. Bitches are more sensitive to insults. But they will defend the owner more violently..
- Virtually no need for grooming – just occasional brushing.
- Ears need to be cleaned from time to time.
- Bathing – only as it gets dirty. Plus, Mountain Dogs love to wash..
- It is better to keep the dog in a warm room, but give it enough time for walks and activity, give it physical activity.
- Even with short hair, dogs of this breed do not tolerate high temperatures, trying to hide in the shade or swim in water.
They can entertain themselves while walking, but they will gratefully accept the owner’s invitation to play together. If the pet does not have enough loads, it will quickly gain excess weight, lose its agility, and become lazy.
An enormous amount of energy will only allow the course of obedience to be curbed. If you do not plan to train a dog, it is better not to start an entley.
The Sennenhunds have a sharp and inquisitive mind, curiosity and interest in new activities are well developed, energy reserves contribute to long-term activity. With the right attitude and approach, training and learning is not a problem. Even if at some point the dog barks and refuses to follow the commands, there may be a reason for this. There is no need to shout and use force – it is better to return to training the next day.
If the pet recognizes the owner’s leadership, it makes living together and learning much easier. In order for the animal to learn the hierarchy, it is recommended to use simple tricks:
- Do not let the dog go forward through the open door. In her understanding, the leader takes responsibility and enters first..
- The place where the owner rests is forbidden for the dog. It is necessary to strictly mark the boundaries of “your” territory and not let the dog lie or sit there – this is the place of the leader.
- If you had to pull the stick with the dog, the owner must win the competition, thereby proving his right to the place of the leader: strength is valued by animals.
- Your dog needs permission to eat. Do not allow self-feeding or snatching food from your hands. There is a pet can start after the word “You can”.
Training should begin with socialization – the dog must get used to the fact that there are other living things around, and the sounds of the big world.
Household norms are desirable to instill in a puppy up to six months: you can not bite, damage furniture, run away. Somewhere from the age of four months, the baby will begin “growing pains”: he becomes disobedient, obeys with reluctance. By this point, the rules should already be established. This period will end at the age of one.
Entlebucher Mountain Dogs are very healthy animals with a huge amount of energy, willpower and endurance. But there are diseases inherent in the breed:
- Eye diseases.
- Dysplasia of the pelvis.
Breed-specific illnesses can be prevented by taking precautions and examinations. It is recommended to visit your veterinarian every two to three months.
Eye rinsing will be helpful in preventing hereditary problems. It will not be superfluous to periodically monitor the condition of the eyeballs. At the slightest change in the transparency of the retina, an urgent need to consult a doctor: it is better to stop the disease in the early stages.
Excessive nutrition harms not only the activity and appearance of the pet, but also negatively affects health: the risk of heart disease, blood vessels, gastrointestinal tract, and locomotor apparatus increases. In addition, excess weight also reduces the dog’s lifespan.
At puppyhood, you need to strictly dose the load so as not to harm the pelvic bones.
It is not so easy to buy a puppy of this breed. There are not many Entleys in the world, and the number of breeders is also small. Most of all specialized nurseries are in Switzerland, Germany and Austria. In Russia, there is a National Club of this breed, created in 2005.
The puppy will likely have to wait a long time. It is better to pre-order the breeder by first visiting the nursery to look at the parents, study pedigrees and veterinary documents.
Due to the rarity of the breed and the small gene pool around the world, breeders are scrupulous about breed standards.
The price of a puppy for the smallest Mountain Dog starts from 60,000 rubles.

She would spot something that interested her—kiddie pools, bird houses, bicycles—pull over to the side of the road, and spark conversations with whomever she encountered.

Every day tons of trash arrives at the Ghazipur landfill in the eastern part of New Delhi. The amount of trash has grown into a mountain more than 210-feet tall. Methane gas created by the trash causes daily fires that release toxic smoke. This causes the air to become extremely toxic, and sometimes acid rain occurs.

Enoch describes Hanoi's motorbikes as the "workhorse of the city" and his photos are testament to that. From mountains of ice bags to stacks of precariously balanced eggs in boxes, the talented photographer's photos reveal just how savvy the locals can be with the little space their scooters provide. In one image, a man transports multiple bags of live fish, and in another a vendor carries a mass of children's toy footballs.

A cataract is a loss of transparency, or clouding, of the eye lens. The eye lens plays a vital role in focusing images on the retina. A cloudy lens interferes with light passing through to the retina, the light-sensing layer of cells at the back of the eye. Compare a cataract to looking at the world through a foggy or blurry window. Light rays do not focus clearly if the lens loses its clarity, as it does when a cataract develops. Glasses or contact lenses cannot sharpen vision if a cataract is present.
The most common cause of a cataract is aging. As you get older, chemical changes in your lens make it less transparent. The loss of transparency may be so mild that vision is hardly affected or so severe that no shapes or movements are seen, only light and dark. You have a cataract when the lens gets cloudy enough to obstruct vision to any significant degree.
Other causes of cataracts include trauma, medications like steroids, systemic diseases such as diabetes, and prolonged exposure to ultraviolet light. Occasionally, babies are born with a cataract. Glasses or contact lenses cannot sharpen your vision if a cataract is present.
Reducing the amount of ultraviolet light exposure by wearing a wide-brim hat and sunglasses may reduce your risk for developing a cataract, but once set, there is no cure except to have the cataract surgically removed. Outpatient surgical procedures remove the cataract either through a small incision (phacoemulsification) or a large incision (extracapsular extraction). The time to have the surgical procedure is when your vision is bad enough to interfere with your lifestyle.
Cataract formation is a slow, progressive, and painless decrease in vision. Ironically as the lens gets harder, farsighted (hyperopic) people experience improved distance vision and are less dependent on glasses. However, nearsighted (myopic) people become more nearsighted, causing distance vision to worsen.
A cataract is detected during our comprehensive eye exams. Your eyes will be dilated, so the pupils are wide open, enabling our medical team to look for signs of a cataract with a slit lamp, along with checking your retina and optic nerve. We will also do a refraction to test your visual acuity.
The treatment for a cataract is to remove the lens and implant an Intraocular Lens (IOL). An IOL is a tiny, lightweight, clear plastic disk placed in the eye during cataract surgery. Intraocular lenses have many advantages. The IOL remains in the eye after surgery, unlike contact lenses, which must be removed, cleaned, and reinserted. An IOL replaces the focusing power of the eye's natural lens. The rapid evolution of IOL designs, materials, and implant techniques has made them a safe and practical way to restore normal vision after cataract surgery.
One and a half million people have a cataract procedure every year, and 95% achieve success. As with any surgery, complications may occur during or after, and some are severe enough to limit vision. In most cases, vision, as well as the quality of life, improves.

You purchased your Integra because its a reputation for safety and Japanese engineering appealed to your senses; so why would you be okay with second best when it comes to the highest quality auto parts? Anyone who owns a Acura knows that when it comes to maintaining their car, truck, or SUV only the most superior replacement parts will do. Obviously, you didn't buy your Integra unless you understood you would be getting best-in-class service and dependability both impeccably combined into one car, truck, or SUV. When your Acura Integra rolled off the assembly line, it was destined for a person with discerning taste who values Japanese engineering in their automobile.
As far back as two thousand years ago, the Greeks and Romans were using hydraulic pressure to provide drinking water to cities. Your Acura Integra has a manual transmission, and it requires the clutch master cylinder to govern the movement of your clutch disc. Your Acura Integra clutch master cylinder compresses fluid from the reservoir and sends it to your clutch slave cylinder and release fork. If your vehicle is built without a clutch master cylinder, your pedal would likely be connected to a cable that moves the clutch release fork.
Don't let a broken Clutch Master Cylinder spell the end of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't risk lowering its resale value by installing anything but the best repair parts. When your Acura requires a top quality replacement Clutch Master Cylinder, there's no need to go somewhere besides the authority, Car Parts Discount. Given all the hassles associated with repairing damage to your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the most authoritative website you go to make purchasing it easy. When it comes to Acura Integra Clutch Master Cylinder parts, you can find them for 2001, 2000, 1999, 1998, 1997, 1996, 1995, 1994 models by clicking the appropriate year below.

July 12 (EUROPA PRESS) –
The special representative of the United Nations Secretary General for Libya, Abdoulaye Bathily, on Tuesday described as “fruitful” the dialogue he had with the Libyan general Khalifa Haftar, aligned with the authorities based in the east of the country, in relation to the holding elections.
“We have had fruitful discussions on the current political situation and we have agreed on the need to address controversial issues in electoral bills,” explained the UN envoy, who indicated that he had met with the commander-in-chief of the National Army of Libya in the city of Benghazi, in the northeast of the country.
For its part, the Libyan National Army has indicated, in a brief statement collected by the Libya Update news portal, that both have discussed “the political evolution in the Libyan scenario, underlining the need to promote the holding of presidential and parliamentary elections”. .
Bathily has stressed the “importance of the participation and acceptance of all relevant Libyan institutions and key parties to reach a political agreement that paves the way for successful and inclusive elections that meet the aspirations of the Libyan people.”
The also head of the UN Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) requested the previous day before the United Nations Security Council the “cooperation of all Libyan institutions and actors” to allow “resolving politically controversial issues and reaching a political agreement that opens the way to the success of the elections”.
“It is imperative that all Libyan stakeholders learn from the pitfalls and mistakes of 2021 and 2022, and refrain from any action, including unilateral or non-inclusive decisions, that could precipitate a crisis and divert attention from our common goal of enabling satisfactory elections in accordance with the wishes of the Libyan people,” Bathily added.
In mid-June, the head of UNSMIL recognized the efforts of the 6+6 Committee -created to finalize the electoral laws- “as an important step forward”, although he qualified that “it (is) not enough to resolve the most controversial and enable successful elections. Thus, he expressed his concern that the disputes in the electoral process “lead to a dead end”, which translates into “greater polarization and even destabilization of the country.”
The country is divided into two administrations after the House of Representatives terminated the mandate of the prime minister of unity, Abdul Hamid Dbeibé, for the postponement of the presidential elections in December 2021 and appointed Fazi Bashaga to the position, recently suspended from office and replaced by now Finance Minister Osama Hamad.
Dbeibé was elected as prime minister by the Libyan Political Dialogue Forum (LPDF) in February 2021, replacing the until then prime minister of unity, Fayez Serraj, who agreed to cede his powers after the consultation process, which began after a ceasefire agreement after the Tripoli authorities rejected the military offensive launched in April 2019 by General Khalifa Haftar, aligned with the authorities based in the east.

I did the Open Water Padi certification during 3 days and it was amazing. The first day with Chris was at Marie Pampoen that is a beautiful diving spot perfect to learn the basics. The second day was at Director´s bay with JP to see beautifu corals in all shapes and sizes.
Finaly the 3rd day was at Double Reef and we were able to see green turtles, cowfish and many corals.
Overall the experience was great. I highly recommend Scubacao as a diving center!

THE INUIT OF CANADA'S ARCTIC have a word to define the Canadian legal system, says Qajaq Robinson as she sits inside the Nunavut Court of Justice library. It’s aiva, which translates roughly to “banging heads on silly issues.”
Behind her, light floods in from large windows overlooking a recently thawed Frobisher Bay, where snowmobiles roared no more than a few weeks earlier. June is a month of change in Iqaluit, the capital of Nunavut located on the southeastern coast of Baffin Island. It’s a time when purple saxifrage and Arctic poppy blossoms emerge from the tundra, when the ocean melts and the long winter disappears.
This June also ushered in a big change to Nunavut’s legal system. The month marked the graduation of a historic class that many hope will help lead Canada’s newest territory as it finds its way toward self-government. Robinson and 10 others graduated with bachelor of laws degrees from the University of Victoria after completing a special program offered by the university, Nunavut Arctic College and the Akitsiraq Law School Society.
The program, named after an ancient ring of stones where elders used to meet to resolve disputes, launched in September 2001 to bring together Inuit perspectives and legal expertise. Past attempts to establish an Inuit law program in the south failed, so Akitsiraq was taught almost exclusively in Iqaluit with professors from across Canada brought here to teach.
Almost four years and $5 million later, the graduates donned their caps and gowns and filed into the darkened gymnasium of Inuksuk High—a bulging, blue building that looks more like a submarine than a school, complete with the odd porthole.
A crowd of supporters and officials awaited them, including Governor General Adrienne Clarkson, Nunavut Premier Paul Okalik, UVic Chancellor Ron Lou-Poy and President David Turpin. As Okalik addressed the grads, he noted it was no coincidence the date of their ceremony, June 21, coincided with National Aboriginal Day. The students picked the date themselves. “This is our day as Aboriginal people,” Okalik said. “You made the right choice.”
Okalik, for now, holds the distinction of being Canada’s only Inuk lawyer. When the graduates write their bar exams in a year, that will change. In the meantime, they’re completing their articles by working in the offices of prestigious law firms, heavyweight Inuit organizations, and within the court system.
Robinson is articling in the Nunavut Court of Justice. Part of her job involves teaching at the local high school. She hopes to get through to students about their legal rights, both under Canadian law and the land claims agreement that created Nunavut—two million km2 stretching north and west from Hudson’s Bay—in 1999.
Another graduate, and a mother of five, Aaju Peter is articling with a law firm in Ottawa where she hopes to improve her ability to argue key issues like the copyrights of traditional Inuit knowledge and Canadian sovereignty of the Arctic. “Until you understand how something works, you can’t change it. You have to speak the language,” she says.
Peter remembers the shock she felt as her grades plummeted during the first year. “It was like dropping someone in ice-cold water. It was devastating.” But now that she’s through, she sees herself as a new person. “I’m a lot more aggressive. I think I’m ready to jump into anything and just fight.”
As the only male in the graduating class, Henry Coman hopes to serve as a positive role model for many of the young, aimless men in the territory who wander into lives of crime and eventually pass through the courts. As an RCMP officer, he also hopes to see justice served. He’s currently articling with the Crown counsel office in Iqaluit, and will return to the force when he’s passed the bar.
“At the end of the day you’re helping victims of crime who may not have a voice of their own,” he says.
Scrutiny aimed at Akitsiraq from the media and members of the community was intense during the program, at times making the classroom feel like a rather large fishbowl. Some residents criticized the steep price tag, which helped cover the costs of living of most graduates during their studies.
Others suggested the program wasn’t up to the same standard as southern universities—a suggestion that makes graduates bristle. “It gets me really mad,” says Robinson. “I think there’s no justification to it.” At the courthouse library, she pulls out textbooks written by her professors—John Burrows of UVic and Allan Manson of Queen’s, for example. She also points out the degrees are accredited by the University of Victoria, consistently ranked as one of the best law schools in the country.
The Inuit have an opposite for aiva, their term for Canadian law. It’s ajiqatigingniq, and it means “to learn to come to understanding,” with an emphasis on Inuit values of negotiation and dialogue. Those values are rooted in a time when Inuit ancestors were too busy hunting for their next meal to needlessly bicker. As Robinson says, “Adversity is dangerous in the North.”
She sees these values born out in small communities like Iglulik, where she was raised, when Inuit elders are invited to speak at sentencing hearings, both to the individual and to the court. “The elders have insight we don’t have.”
But ajiqatigingniq shouldn’t be mistaken for passivity. Robinson says if she took one thing from the program, “it’s made it easier to ask why, and to question things. We need that in Nunavut. We can’t be a carbon copy of the other territories and provinces.”
“The Famous 11” Akitsiraq law
graduates, as then-Governor General Adrienne Clarkson, dubbed them:

I just received an email this morning from the March of Dimes. It contains useful information for expectant moms & babies who may be in the fire danger zone of Southern California. Please read below:
Like you, we at the March of Dimes California Chapter are very concerned about the fires in Southern California. We are doing all we can to help protect the health of those most vulnerable - pregnant women and babies. We are working with the media to provide necessary tips for expectant mothers and families with infants.
We know that thousands of families are evacuating to local shelters. If you know any families who are expecting a baby or who have an infant, please help us ensure they are informed and prepared on how to care for mom and baby.
Thank you for all you do to help us protect the health of all mothers and babies.
Special information for Pregnant Women:
* Bring copies of medical records, including prenatal medical records and contact information for your health care provider
* Immediately notify the shelter of your pregnancy and get information about the location of hospitals in the area
* Ensure you have plenty of water and high-protein snacks
* Bring with you any medications, including prenatal vitamins and prescriptions
* Do all you can to reduce stress - stress is a major factor in preterm labor
Learn the signs of preterm labor and contact shelter officials immediately if you experience any of the following:
* Contractions every 10 minutes or more
* Leaking vaginal fluid or bleeding
* Feeling that baby is pushing down
* Low, dull backache
* Abdominal cramps
Special information for Families with Infants:
* Bring copies of baby's medical records and contact information for health care providers
* Pack a large supply of diapers (approximately 70 diapers per week for newborns)
* Bring plenty of ready-to-serve formula - never use water treated with iodine or chlorine tablets to prepare powdered formula
* Shelters can be loud, bring pacifiers and any other items that may soothe your baby
* Stress can affect a woman's milk supply if breastfeeding. Even if breastfeeding, have on-hand ready-to-serve formula

Children are our greatest gift, treat them with extraordinary care!

POP+BARK are bringing their latest dog pop-up event to Liverpool Street for London’s first ever Dalmatian Cafe. The cafe is set to open on July 23 at Devonshire Terrace to bring your dog dreams to life.
The cafe will be open for Dalmatian owners who are encouraged to bring their spotty companions and any dog-lovers who are keen to see a parade of Dalmatians. Fun fact: the name for a collective of Dalmatians is a ‘parade of Dalmatians’. Whether or not you have your dog in tow, the cafe will be a great place to mingle with other dog enthusiasts and spend time with some adorable Dalmatians.
The pop-up will feature a Pupuccino Bar which will be serving up dog-friendly toppings, for a little refreshing treat to keep our furry friends cool in the hot London summer. A Doggy Bakery will also be on hand to serve iced pupcakes, dognuts, jammy doggers, and more cheekily named dog treats. For the humans in attendance, there will also be some summer cocktails and treats to enjoy as you soak up all of the Dalmatian fun.
For Dalmatian owners, the pop-up offers the opportunity to treat your canine companion to the ultimate day of fun, treats and new doggy friends. For dog lovers and Dalmatian enthusiasts, it offers a chance to get to know the Dalmatian breed and their lovable personalities. This is an off-lead social experience for Dalmatians so it’s a great chance to see the Dallies in their element, frolicking about at the best dog party ever.
There’ll be heaps of photo opportunities with doggy-sized furniture and fun props, the event will be packed with lots of family-friendly fun.
POP+BARK have previously hosted pop-ups for Golden Retrievers, Corgis, Cockapoos, and other popular dog breeds. Hosting dog events is their bread and butter, with the creators Anushka and James even featuring on the latest season of Dragon’s Den. The hope of these events is to create communities of like-minded individuals who all love and care for dogs, and to create the most amazing day of Dalmatian fun for our furry friends.
Find out more and buy tickets on POP+BARK’s official website.
