New steps are being made by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that will help protect consumers from skin damage caused by the harmful rays of the sun. The following measures are listed in the report:
- Final regulations that establish standards for testing the effectiveness of sunscreen products and require labeling that accurately reflects test results.
- A proposed regulation that would limit the maximum SPF value on sunscreen labeling to “SPF 50+”.
- A data request for safety and effectiveness information for sunscreen products formulated in certain dosage forms (e.g., sprays).
- A draft guidance for sunscreen manufacturers on how to test and label their products in light of these new measures.
“This new information will help consumers know which products offer the best protection from the harmful rays of the sun,” says Lydia Velazquez, Pharm.D. in FDA’s Division of Nonprescription Regulation Development. She said that the measures are necessary since “our scientific understanding has grown” and it is important for consumers “to understand that not all sunscreens are created equal.”
The FDA’s regulations will become effective in one year. The regulations will provide a standard test for sunscreen products that are sold over-the-counter which will determine if the products can be labeled as “Broad Spectrum.” The term broad spectrum means protection from both ultraviolet B (UVB) and ultraviolet A (UVA) rays.
The FDA has come up with additional labeling regulations designed to help consumers select the right sunscreens and teach them how to use them properly. Here are the additional labeling regulations from the FDA’s recent report:
- Sunscreen products that are not broad spectrum or that are broad spectrum with SPF values from 2 to14 will be labeled with a warning that reads: “Skin Cancer/Skin Aging Alert: Spending time in the sun increases your risk of skin cancer and early skin aging. This product has been shown only to help prevent sunburn, not skin cancer or early skin aging.”
- Water resistance claims on the product’s front label must tell how much time a user can expect to get the declared SPF level of protection while swimming or sweating, based on standard testing. Two times will be permitted on labels: 40 minutes or 80 minutes.
- Manufacturers cannot make claims that sunscreens are “waterproof” or “sweatproof, or identify their products as “sunblocks.” Also, sunscreens cannot claim protection immediately on application (for example, “instant protection”) or protection for more than two hours without reapplication, unless they submit data and get approval from FDA.
Since each and every one of us is exposed to the sun, we need to pay close attention to these new regulations. Any time that we spend in the sun increases our chance of skin cancer and each time we get a sun burn that risk is heightened. Not to mention, it also causes early skin aging. The FDA report lists the following steps we should follow in order to reduce our risk in the sun:
- Use sunscreens with broad spectrum SPF values of 15 or higher regularly and as directed.
- Limit time in the sun, especially between the hours of 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., when the sun’s rays are most intense.
- Wear clothing to cover skin exposed to the sun; for example, long-sleeved shirts, pants, sunglasses, and broad-brimmed hats.
- Reapply sunscreen at least every 2 hours, more often if you’re sweating or jumping in and out of the water.

SFO probe into 'bribery' leaks
An unprecedented leak inquiry has been launched at the Serious Fraud Office, the premier agency for combating white-collar crime.
The investigation is into possible breaches of the rules governing legally sensitive documents or the Official Secrets Act - or both.
The probe follows a series of major leaks to the Press and television of hugely sensitive information about alleged bribery by defence giant BAE Systems regarding the £40 billion Al Yamamah arms deals with Saudi Arabia in the mid-Eighties.
There were suggestions last week that the Cabinet Office had opened its own leak inquiry into the SFO. The Cabinet Office would not comment, while the SFO said that, as far as it was aware, the only inquiry was the one that it was conducting itself.
SFO director Robert Wardle told colleagues about the investigation last Thursday, though no one has yet been appointed as its head.
The most likely candidates, Financial Mail understands, are Wardle's deputy, James Kellock, and the head of resources and planning, Bob Evans. Any of the SFO's 350 or so staff found to have leaked BAE-related information to the media could face internal disciplinary action. In particularly serious cases, they could face criminal prosecution and a possible two-year jail term or a fine.
At that stage, the SFO would have to hand the case over to an outside agency as it does not have the ability to take official secrets cases to court. The agency has been at the centre of a political storm since December when it dropped a two-year inquiry into Al Yamamah bribery allegations.
'National security' was the reason given for terminating the inquiry. Since then, there have been a number of articles and television programmes about the circumstances surrounding Al Yamamah, including the allegation that Saudi Prince Bandar accepted £1 billion as payment for the arms deal. He has denied the claims.
A BAE source said: 'We have made informal complaints to the SFO, making it clear that we are angry about the leaking.
'For months it has been obvious, because of some the detail now in the public domain, that there have been leaks out of the SFO. I can safely say that we are pretty hacked off about it.'
Sources at the SFO insist there is no evidence as yet that the leaks came from its ranks, though security experts told Financial Mail that two 'moles' had already been identified by the security services and arrests were imminent.
An SFO spokesman would confirm only that the director wanted to ensure all staff were fully compliant with 'proper procedure' for giving information to the media.

Landcare ACT has also been busy this year - working to support you all, although you may not necessarily be quite so aware of that work – LACT’s limited resources have been put to use with a focus on doing rather than promoting – something to work on next year!
In the early part of the year we consulted our Members (and through them, you) to identify key issues for Landcarers in our region. This is summarised in Strengthening community Landcare for healthy ACT landscapes.
Since then we have focussed (especially in an ACT election year) on drawing attention to the value and importance of the work that you do to look after the places you care about.
We did this with all political persuasions before the election, have continued that dialogue after the election and will take it forward into 2017. This has also included writing to all Members of the Legislative Assembly about the importance of continuing support for community Landcare and recognising the important role of the catchment groups in supporting the community.

England players should never just ‘stick to football’, says Southgate
Gareth Southgate believes his England squad can have an impact on society and says they should never “just stick to football”.
The Three Lions were booed by supporters when they took a knee at kick-off at the Riverside Stadium in their two Euro 2020 warm-up matches, with Southgate describing the jeers as a “criticism” of the squad’s black players and implored supporters to get behind the display of solidarity. Boris Johnson’s spokesperson said the prime minister supported the players’ right to protest on Monday but also stopped short of criticising those who had booed.
Marcus Rashford, Raheem Sterling, Jordan Henderson and several other senior members of the England squad have been driving forces behind positive societal changes during the pandemic and, in a letter for The Players’ Tribune, Southgate reiterated that their influence has a power far beyond sport itself.

Van de Beek injury a ‘huge blow’ for Netherlands
Netherlands and PSV Eindhoven right-back Denzel Dumfries has described the injury to Donny Van de Beek as a “huge blow” with the Manchester United midfielder’s nightmare season capped after being removed for the squad for the tournament.
Dumfries said: “This is a huge blow. As a group we are working towards the tournament and Donny is part of our group. We all really feel for him.”
While the Dutch Football Association said in a statement: “Donny van de Beek is not available to play the European Championship with the Netherlands. The Manchester United midfielder is struggling with an injury. As a result, the 19-time international, who last played for the Dutch squad in March, is not fit enough to join for the tournament.”

Llorente follows Busquets as Spain’s Covid concern grows
Marcos Llorente has tested positive for Covid-19, following Sergio Busquets’ case, which led to Spain sending their Spain Under-21 side to play Lithuania in a pre-Euro 2020 warm-up friendly.
RFEF president Luis Rubiales has suggested there will be more positive tests too:
“We have one positive case, there could well be more positive cases, it’s probable there will be. But these players here deserve respect, as does the badge on their shirt.”
To combat the issue, Spain has called up Kepa Arrizabalaga, Raul Albiol, Carlos Soler, Brais Mendez, Pablo Fornals and Rodrigo Moreno to form a parallel training bubble.

France suffer Benzema injury scare
Karim Benzema picked up a knock with France braced for the worst after the Real Madrid striker limped off against Bulgaria.
Didier Deschamps confirmed it was just a “knock on the knee”.
‘It’s a knock on the knee, which also affects the muscle,’ Deschamps told TF1. ‘He felt he was getting stiff so he asked to be subbed. The medical staff are taking care of him.’

Foden admits to ‘massive mistake’ during Iceland trip but grateful for Euro 2020 second chance
Phil Foden has admitted he made a “massive mistake” by breaching the England camp’s Covid-19 protocols in Iceland last year but thanked Gareth Southgate for the chance to rebuild his international career.
The Manchester City youngster’s first call-up to the senior squad last September ended in him and Mason Greenwood being sent home early as punishment for meeting up with two women at the team hotel in Reykjavik.
Both players were overlooked for the subsequent October internationals but Foden returned the following month and has emerged as a key member of Southgate’s set-up in the time since, scoring twice in his six international appearances to date.

Henderson insists he is fit to start England’s opener against Croatia
Jordan Henderson has declared himself fit to start in England’s opening Euro 2020 game against Croatia. That much is clear. The midfielder even intimidated that the extent of his injury has been overplayed, despite not playing club football since February.
What is a little less clear is how exactly Henderson feels about Roy Keane’s much-discussed comments on the Liverpool captain. The 30-year-old pays his former manager due respect as the man who gave him his Sunderland debut and says he found the comments funny, but he also keeps coming back to them and making reference to some of Keane’s lines. The ITV pundit wondered why Henderson was called up if he is not fit, making jibes about card tricks in the camp.
“To be fair to Roy, he can say what he wants about me,” the midfielder explains. “He gave us me debut and I wouldn’t be here without that. He can say whatever he wants about me. I found it quite funny, actually. So, yeah, listen, we know a little bit more detail, so does the manager, which Roy may not.”

Advice on air quality and smoke exposure
Public Health England has been assessing air quality in relation to the Grenfell Tower tragedy and this shows a minimal wider risk to public health as a result of the fire’s smoke plume. People who have been close to the scene and exposed to smoke from the fire may have experienced irritation to the lining of the air passages, the skin and the eyes, and respiratory symptoms including coughing and wheezing, breathlessness, phlegm production and chest pain. People who have concerns about their symptoms should seek medical advice from their GP or call NHS 111.
For more information see also Public Health advice: air quality and asbestos
Advice on odour
The human nose is very sensitive to odours and often detects chemicals at concentrations in air which pose no risk to health, however they can be unpleasant and affect well-being. Odours can cause a nuisance to people and may lead to stress and anxiety. Some people may experience symptoms such as nausea, headaches or dizziness as a reaction to odours even when the substances that cause those smells are themselves not harmful to health.
Advice on face masks
As far as possible, exposure to airborne pollutants, such as dust, should be avoided by preventing or minimising exposure. Public Health England does not recommend wearing face masks for the general public as a method of reducing exposure to air pollution as it is not clear that they would be effective in reducing exposure. Masks can be uncomfortable to use and can worsen symptoms in people with heart and lung conditions as they may find it harder to breathe. Caution is therefore advised when using masks and their use by the public outside of the cordon is not recommended.
Waste materials and clean up
Information from the London Fire Brigade and Council indicates that the majority of debris in surrounding areas consists of charred foam insulation. This material is unlikely to present a threat to people’s health, however precautionary advice for residents is to not handle any waste material or debris from the fire as it may present a physical hazard.
Street cleansing in the area outside of the cordoned off zone, has been carried out by the Council and continues on a daily basis. The Council is currently working on a plan for clearance within the cordoned off zone, in partnership with other agencies.
If you have waste material or debris from the fire at your property, please contact the Council on 020 7361 3001 and we will make arrangements to collect it.

If I were to take a poll of romantic fantasy authors, I’m sure many of them would list music as a big part of their inspiration mojo. Sweeping instrumental movie soundtracks seem to be very popular among our kind, as well as all-things-Celtic. Generally speaking, I write and edit to those types of atmospheric tone-setters, too. But a funny thing happened while I was in the throes of writing The Seahorse Legacy, the third book — but the beginning of an entirely new tale — in my Eyes of E’veria series …
I became a fan of One Direction.
If I was a savvy sort of brainiac — or any sort of brainiac, actually — I might justify my recently acquired boy-band love like this, “Why, yes, the boy-band concept is existentially related to the idea of a pirate crew’s sense of brotherhood through the fusing of harmonies which combine toward a greater whole” or some other such rubbish that would make me sound insufferably scholarly. But that would be a total lie. And since the truth is a lot more fun, let’s go with that, shall we?
I was close to finishing the first draft of The Seahorse Legacy when the first of three photo shoots for the book cover was scheduled. It was late summer, dark clouds were approaching from the west, and we were going “on location” for an outdoor photo shoot. The photographer and his assistants were in one vehicle, and my 13-year-old daughter and I were riding with costumed cover models Matt (posing as the paranormally gifted pirate Cazien) and Delaney (posing as the oracular knight Erielle) in another. The cover models were attired in full pirate garb, and model Matt was entertaining us all with pirate lingo, and his enthusiasm at getting to be a pirate for the day was pretty contagious. The radio was on quietly in the background, but I wasn’t really paying attention to it. (Hey, I was in a minivan with a couple of pirates. It was kind of a dream come true — except the minivan part, of course. That’s just a sad reality.)
We were happily cruising toward our sandy destination when Matt said, “Turn it up! I love this song!” I obligingly swiveled the volume knob and was a bit surprised to hear the intro to a cheerful little pop tune. (Not really what I expected to hear after obeying the “Turn it up!” order from the scruffy young pirate captain in the back seat.)
Teen Model Matt ducked his head. “I know, I know,” he said. “It’s not very manly of me, but my girlfriend loves One Direction. She made me start listening to them with her, and now …?” He shrugged and then grinned. “You’ve got to admit, their music is really catchy!” And then, without missing a beat, he started singing along with Best Song Ever. Matt has a fantastic voice and he sang every line perfectly, including the echoes — and even inserted each “Ow!” that comes at the end of a few phrases.
As an author with something of a pirate obsession and a rather quirky sense of humor, my level of amusement pretty much pegged the giddy-o-meter. I mean, c’mon! Right there, in the back seat of my minivan, an 18-year old “pirate” in full costume became a one-man boy band. It was a moment I will never forget, and from that day to this I cannot hear even a bar of a One Direction song without thinking about pirates and picturing my novel’s hero, Cazien, singing along.
Shortly after that photo shoot, my 13-year-old daughter (who also bore witness to the Best Song Ever pirate moment) joined the ranks of committed “Directioners.” She knows more random facts about the band than is probably healthy — and is quite the expert on Irish cutey-pie Niall Horan! — but thanks to her cleverly devised “will work for mp3 downloads” system, I now have almost every One Direction tune ever recorded at my disposal. I’ll admit it’s not your usual fantasy-writing soundtrack, but I have no doubt I’ll be drawing inspiration from those tunes this summer whenever I need to inject extra romantic energy — or a bit of plucky comic relief! — into the writing of The Sunken Realm, the conclusion of Cazien and Erielle’s tale.
Yes, I became a fan of One Direction as a direct result of writing a pirate fantasy novel. And just between you and me, I might have even listened to a little One Direction while writing this post …
About The Seahorse Legacy (from publisher Candent Gate):
A pirate, bound by a centuries-old oath.
A knight, determined to prove her calling.
A Legacy, demanding surrender.
As Keeper of the Seahorse Legacy, Cazien de Pollis is a King among pirates, divinely appointed to dispense justice on the seas. Bound by the sacred oath of a long-dead ancestor, he must fulfill a contract to wed the green-eyed Oracle’s Daughter named therein—or risk losing everything he and his people hold dear. But at nineteen, with the identity of his betrothed only recently revealed, Cazien resents the contract—and the urgency within him to see it satisfied.
Erielle de Gladiel returned from the quest for the Remedy, changed. Not only are her formerly-blue eyes now a brilliant shade of green, but she must don gloves to hide inky evidence that her prophetically-bestowed title, the Oracle’s Daughter, demands more from her than the task already completed. Erielle’s dearest-held dream is realized when she is knighted by her King, but unbeknownst to her, that very honor jeopardizes the prophesied purpose to which she and Cazien have been called.
Just as Cazien summons the courage to collect his bride, dark rumors and darker deeds crawl up the coasts, calling its guardians, the Seahorse Pirates, into action—and Cazien away from Erielle. But even though the Oracle’s Daughter knows nothing of the contract to which she has been consigned, Cazien’s enemies have somehow learned of his interest in Erielle. And if they reach her before his ancestor’s weighty oath is executed, the Seahorse Legacy will be forfeited … and darkness will be given reign.
Subtly paying homage to several classic tales including Peter Pan, Robin Hood, The Little Mermaid, Much Ado About Nothing, and even The Three Little Bears, The Seahorse Legacy begins an epic re-imagining of the classic Grimm fairy tale, The Twelve Dancing Princesses, which will conclude in Eyes of E’veria, book four: The Sunken Realm.

Brokedown was at the top of the list, for the reasons mentioned. But I always liked a change up. My favorite encore that I can think of,
was Red Rocks, 7/8/78. Terrapin Sta.>OMSN>Werewolves of London. Now thats an encore!
you just ruined my night, i just pulled the show up from archive, to check out the encore. now i have to listen to whole show; that was killer.
i was lucky enough to get a box encore at my first dead related show (Phil and Friends '08) and i caught another one at hampton this april which was really special cause hampton has so much dead history and cause my dad saw the dead at hampton countless times..so i'd have to say box of rain is my favorite encore
People joining hand in hand while the music plays the band
Well I love a slow encore and as much as I love the depth of Dead songs they could perform, I love it when they do a sweet cover of say, The Weight. Like they did at my first show Sept. 4th 1991 Richfield, OH. Jerry, Bobby, Phil and Brent all sang a verse or two and it was so touching and beautiful. I loved Brent's voice and his playing of course.
Aw, that Werewolves of London as an encore is one of my favorites, though I was not there to see it. I really thought they may play it again with the TWO NIGHTS of a full moon last year at red rocks. It was a nice treat to hear it during set break, and I remember someone near us busting out a werewolf mask and dancing around like crazy.
Anyway, for upbeat my favorite has been Samson and Delilah. All time favorite is Brokedown Palace, and holds a special place in my heart.

Volunteers Talk About Their CASA Experience During Open House
Marlinton, WV – Pocahontas County CASA held an open house at McClintic Library in Marlinton on Monday. Two CASA volunteers told visitors about the realities of being a CASA – a court-appointed special advocate – for children. Katherine Thompson said her first two cases involved drug abuse.
“I’ve had a couple of cases in the last year, that I’ve been volunteering for CASA and, in both cases, the children had been removed from the home due to parental drug use,” she said.
Thompson said she’s able to work full-time and be a CASA.
“I’ve been able to maintain my full-time job with the CYAC and fulfill my CASA obligations, at the same time,” she said. “You have to visit, at least once a month, with the child, but you can more often if you want to. You have to take the time to talk to the people who are in that kids life, write reports and attend hearings. So, it’s very do-able. You can hold a full-time job and volunteer and make a difference at the same time.”
Being a CASA means talking to a lot of people.
“We talk to the biological parents,” Thompson said. “We’ll talk to grandparents, whoever is keeping the child, at the time. We’ll talk to school administrators, teachers and then, we visit the child, at least once a month, and kind of see how they’re doing and how they’re feeling about everything.”
Thompson says her work with CASA changed her life.
“It’s been incredible,” she said. “I’m actually going to social work school next year and I don’t know that I would have done that, had I not worked with CASA. I absolutely loved it and it’s been nice because I get to interact much more personally with the child. You kind of get to follow them from start to finish, which is really nice. I’ve been fortunate – both of my cases have ended up going pretty well.”
CASA Dorothy Reynolds says the job is not always easy.
“There is hard parts,” she said. “You see children hurting, because these children have been brought up a certain way. You can have the worst mom and dad in the world and you love your mom and dad. You think everything they do is right. They can hurt you. They can do all kinds of things but, they’re still your mom and dad and you still love them. It’s very, very hard for these children to be put into another home and have their parents replaced. You can never replace your parents. But, you know, that’s hard when you see these kids hurting over that.”
But the good outweighs the bad, according to Reynolds.
“And there’s good things happening, too,” she said. “You see these little kids blossoming. They just, ‘oh, guess what I did at school,’ and they’re achieving and they’re going on and they’re looking forward to something in their life. ‘Oh, maybe I can go to college someday. Maybe I can do something to help somebody else.”
“Who knows? It gives these children an idea that, ‘I can succeed at something.’ Even if it’s only to play baseball or do something in school and get an award for something that I never knew I could do before, because I was never really given the chance. That’s some of the things I like about CASA. You feel like you’re accomplishing something. Not everything goes perfect, everyday, but, at least, when you see these kids happy, it makes it all worthwhile.”
Reynolds encourages community members to volunteer.
“Anybody that has a love for children, a caring for children,” she said. “They don’t have to be wel-educated. But, you know, they just have to care; and, they can be in their twenties – they can be in their sixties – it really doesn’t matter, just have some time.”
“There’s a lot of people in this community that have time on their hands and say, ‘I ‘ve got nothing to do.’ Hey – this is an opportunity that you can help somebody. You can make yourself feel good and make these children feel good, because you can see good things happen to these kids. Believe me – it makes you feel good at the end of the day.”
CASA is swamped with dozens of cases. Fifty-four children are waiting for a volunteer. To learn more, call 304-645-5437.

Ready for a new fitness watch? The long awaited Fitbit Versa 4 and Fitbit Sense2 could launch much sooner than expected, according to a new leak.
The information comes from 9to5Googlewhich reported that the two new Fitbit watches are currently aiming for a spring launch – which, if correct, would mean we should see the watches before the end of May – although the site adds that “plans could switch “.
The site remains tight-lipped about the nature of its source, but there’s plenty more information to go along with the release date leak. The Versa 4 and Sense 2 are said to share the same screen size and rounded-corner shape, just like the original Sense and Versa 3, which launched in August 2020.
It’s also reported that the devices could ditch the recessed solid-state ‘button’ of previous models after poor reception from users who found it less than intuitive. The tactile indentation could be removed and replaced with the old physical button, which was used on the Versa 2.
A recent teardown gave us an indication that the Versa 4 and Sense 2, codenamed Rhea and Hera, were on the way this year. Those codenames were mentioned alongside a display resolution of 336 x 336 pixels, the same as the original Fitbit Sense and Versa 3.
Analysis: Fitbit wants to stand out from the pack
With the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 and Apple Watch 8 also on the horizon, 2022 is about to get very interesting when it comes to smartwatch releases from major brands.
There’s no word yet on a release date for either of these watches, so it stands to reason that an early launch might be best for Fitbit: a fitness enthusiast who just buying a Versa 4 is unlikely to switch to Samsung anytime soon.
Based on the August release date of Fitbit Versa 3 and Fitbit Sense, and Fitbit’s tendency to release devices on a two-year cycle, we weren’t expecting new devices until the end of this year.
As far as we know, Fitbit won’t use Wear OS, so no drastic changes are expected to be made to prepare the devices for a new OS; and if the watches are ready to go, Fitbit moving their release date to stay ahead of its competitors could prove to be a smart move.

Samsung really knocked it out of the park with the launch of the Galaxy Z Fold 2 earlier this year. But despite all the improvements, foldable phones could still be better.
Thankfully, one new rumor claims the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 will feature something a lot of people have been asking Samsung to include on all of its flagships, not just foldables. That’s right, the Z Fold 3 might be getting an S Pen.
- Galaxy Z Fold 2 Review: A truly amazing foldable phone
- The best phones right now
- Plus: Xbox Series X has a feature you didn't even notice
But not just any S Pen. Rather than just taking the same S Pen that’s available in the Galaxy Note 20, Samsung is apparently set to completely remake the S Pen for the Galaxy Z Fold 3. Or, at the very least, redesign how the stylus actually works when it connects to the screen.
According to Korean tech site The Elec, the current S Pen design is too rigid for the foldable displays and trying to use one would risk damaging the screen. After all, the foldable glass on the Z Fold 2 is softer than the traditional hard glass screen of a non-folding phone, and the last thing Samsung wants is a peripheral scratching it.
The rigidness in the S Pen is down to it using Wacom’s Electro Magnetic Resonance (EMR) technology, which uses a digitizer inside the display to avoid the need for a dedicated power source in the stylus itself. But The Elec says Samsung is looking into Active Electro Static (AES) technology to avoid damaging the foldable displays, and that involves turning the tech on its head.
In this instance the stylus itself is powered, while the display is a passive receiver of the information. Apple employs similar technology with its own stylus, the Apple Pencil.
Making this change means a hypothetical Z Fold S Pen is going to be very different, and will likely need to be larger to accommodate a built-in battery that won’t die after five minutes. So unlike the Galaxy Note series' S Pen, it probably won’t be able to slide inside the Z Fold 3 for safe keeping. Expect something that looks more like the Galaxy Tab 7's S Pen when this arrives, even if the inner technology isn’t quite the same.
The prospect of a stylus for the Z Fold 3 is going to be quite appealing to some. After, all, the foldable phone is just a fold-out tablet, and a stylus can be very useful for taking notes, sketching and more. So here’s hoping Samsung figures this out, and sooner rather than later.

HI all I am new to this forum... I do not own a lab but I did pick up a yellow puppy earlier(she almost got hit by a car, I live on a military base) and it was dark and cold so we couldn't just leave her. I was just wanting opinions if she is purebred - she is very HYPER(is this typical of labs?lol) and very clumsy with HUGE paws and ears, it seems like she still needs to grow into them lol im thinking shes maybe 3-4 months old? she seems very healthy and didnt have any fleas.
I have put up flyers to find her owners..im giving them until monday and then I will try to find this little girl a home. I would keep her but we have had our hearts set on another german shepherd for awhile(we already have one black shepherd female)
looks mostly lab to me.. and cute cute cute! (labs and shepherds make wonderful companions, hint hint ;D
She looks pretty Lab to me. Was the collar on her? Maybe she is chipped?
Hershey Kisses, In charge of getting Ed out to the dog park so that he gets some exercise.
hey thanks for the quick replies! yes she had the collar on but no tags or anything...if no one claims her by monday I will see if someone can check to see if she is chipped....it is a requirement for the dog to be microchipped if they are on base..but most people here sadly do not get their dog shots or anything she appears healthy but i dont know. where would they be able to check for a chip at? i hate dealing with the base vet they never answer the phone lol but maybe someone could check her quickly for me.
the vet will likely have a scanner, or your local shelter
Looks like a happy dudley to me! And yes, labs make great companions for shepherds
She is absolutely adorable!! I even had to start a thread to see some more adorable dudleys!
She is beautiful! She looks purebred to me.
The past two dogs I have found, I have taken around to the local vets to see if they recognize them and also to check for a microchip. One they recognized and we delivered him back home and the other the owners called the vets that we had been to and the office put them in touch with us.
: not a hope I'll see your picture on this computer ... 10 minutes and I think I can see sky at the top of the frame?
however the vet should be able to give you a very good idea as to how old she actually is and how much lab they think she is
I think a yellow lab and a black gsd would be a great combo but I bet her home is anxiously looking for her
hyper is pretty normal for any young happy dog who finds themself saved!
“I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something; and because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do something that I can do.” H. Keller

Stevie Nicks has not released a solo studio album since 2001’s Trouble in Shangri-La, which came amidst the 1997 reunion of Rumours-lineup Fleetwood Mac, which began with the ultra-successful tour and live album The Dance (after which Christine McVie left the group) and ended with the allegedly rancorous recording sessions that led to the nevertheless successful Say You Will in 2003. After 2003, she continued to play shows, and in 2008 released a live DVD, but has not released solo recordings until today.
The Beastie Boys, meanwhile, when they weren’t on hiatus due to MCA’s battle with cancer (now thankfully in remission), released instrumental album The Mix-Up in 2007, and before that, the thoughtful To the 5 Boroughs in 2004. But neither could have featured a music video like “Make Some Noise”; the last time the Beasties had that much fun was Hello Nasty, thirteen years ago.
As legacy artists with large fanbases, both Nicks and the Beasties have been getting their share of press leading up to today. For these two, “a return to form” doesn’t just mean “nobody bought the previous album.” But does their songwriting persist? And do they remain relevant?
The reviews are still rolling in for Nicks’s In Your Dreams, but they are more favorable than not; in Rolling Stone, Rob Sheffield called the album “her finest collection of songs since the Eighties.” And the Beastie Boys, ever the critical darlings, have gotten rave reviews for Hot Sauce Committee, Pt. 2: in the New York Times, Jon Pareles praises their “strictly old school” sound.
Note the similarity? Both artists are praised for sounding like what they used to sound like. Artists who release an album a year are considered successful if their second album has more or bigger hits than the first. Artists who release an album every few years get praised for evolution. But artists who wait a decade apparently get praised for stasis. The only exceptions are radically-reworked artists like Santana, who, with the help of Clive Davis, found a new audience with 1999’s Supernatural.
If listeners and buyers agree with critics, that would suggest that music fans look for a consistency from our long-term artists that we reject from newer groups. Why does time change our perspective in such a way?

Unexpectedly, sanity has finally prevailed and the plug pulled on a wild-eyed scheme to spend hundreds of millions on a Detroit “light rail” project along Woodward Avenue. The Detroit Free Press reports that instead, the city will explore “a system of rapid-transit buses operating in dedicated lanes on routes from downtown to and through the suburbs along Gratiot, Woodward and Michigan avenues and along M-59.”
Before this episode of lucidity fully recedes, the city should instead examine a genuinely sensible alternative that could make a real difference in the lives of countless residents: Skip the buses and their special lanes, and just repeal city and state regulations that prohibit “jitneys.”
Serendipituously, the National Center for Policy Analysis has just published a paper called "The Jitney Potential: Transportation for the Poor." Here’s how the Center describes the report:
Low-income families need transportation. The automobile is the most convenient form of transportation, but it is expensive to own and operate. Fares for public transit, such as buses, are low, but the service is slow and inflexible, says Jennifer Dirmeyer, an assistant professor of economics at Hampden-Sydney College.
. . . In an ordinary market entrepreneurs would solve this problem by creatively meeting people's needs. However, transit is so regulated that even the simplest solutions are often outlawed.
Competitive private bus or van services are called jitneys — vehicles with flexible schedules and stops (like a taxi) that offer a ride along a route that is fixed (like a bus), but from which the driver can detour, if passengers are willing to pay more. In the early 20th century, such services were widespread in urban areas. However, they competed with trolley lines and bus monopolies, and most jitney services disappeared by the 1920s.
. . . Three distinct reforms are necessary to permit jitney operators to provide services valuable to low-income consumers:
- Eliminate prohibitions on group riding.
- Eliminate regulations that prohibit commuter vans from picking up passengers without an appointment and from accepting street hails.
- Eliminate restrictions either on the number of jitneys per route or the number of jitney routes or the ability to deviate from a route.
The full text of the short NCPA white-paper can be read here.
Incidedentally, perhaps the same outbreak of sanity may extend to Lansing, and cause the Legislature to repeal a bipartisan package of Woodward light rail-related borrowing, spending, and selective tax breaks it enacted last year. Here's a spreadsheet showing how every lawmaker voted on those bills, with a one-line description of each at the bottom.

1/72 Churchill Mk. III "KingForce" El Alamein 1942
Open window display packaging
Highly popular and collectible item
True to 1/72 scale
Fully accurate mold
Historically accurate markings and insignia
Includes protective display case
Dragon Armor is issuing its second ever 1/72 scale model of a Churchill infantry tank, and again it’s the interesting Mk.III variant. This time the Churchill is finished in the colors and markings of one of six tanks dispatched to Egypt in North Africa in late 1942. They formed what was known as KingForce, named after the detachment’s commander, Major Norris King. The Mk.III, weighing in at 39,626kg, featured a 6-pounder gun in an all-welded turret. The kingForce vehicles arrived just in time for the Second Battle of El Alamein in October 1942, where they were placed under the command of the 1st Armoured Division. They acquitted themselves well, and the heavyweight Churchills withstood a good deal of punishment. For example, one Churchill Mk.III was hit 30 times but suffered nothing worse than a broken track during the fierce combat!
This new KingForce Churchill Mk.III from Dragon Armor is painted in a distinctive camouflage scheme consisting of Light Stone No.61 over the base color S.C.C. No.2 khaki brown. The rendering of the scheme and color tones is professionally done. This model tank carries the registration number ‘T31954R’, with the ‘R’ indicating the original tank had been reworked. For modelers wishing to own a somewhat rare Churchill, and one that’s finished in a color other than green, this majestic miniature is fit for a king!

Federal and State politicians from both major parties made their way to the Hawkesbury last week to assess the impact of flooding on the area.
On Wednesday, Emergency Management Minister David Littleproud and Federal Labor Leader Anthony Albanese met with Hawkesbury Mayor Cr Patrick Conolly, Macquarie MP Susan Templeman, members of Hawkesbury Sports Council and local farmers.
Shortly after visits, Liberal Senator for Western Sydney Marise Payne announced grants of up to $75,000 have been activated as part of the Australian Government's response to the floods.
This is in addition to a number of other financial supports for eligible primary producers recovering from flood and storm damage under the Special Disaster Grants program.
Funded by the Australian Government and NSW Government, eligible farmers and primary producers are encouraged to speak to the NSW Rural Assistance Authority (RAA) and apply for funding.
"The first stage of recovery is the difficult task of cleaning up," Ms Payne said.
"These grants are specifically designed to support our local farmers and primary producers through what can be a complex and understandably emotional process.
"My colleague ... Mr David Littleproud MP met with local turf and vegetable farmers, which follows on from Prime Minister Scott Morrison receiving key briefings from emergency management personnel at RAAF Base Richmond on 24 March."
Eligible primary producers are those who earn at least half of their income from on-farm sources and who will incur clean up and reinstatement costs because of the storms and floods that started on March 10, 2021.
Eligible costs include:
- hiring or leasing equipment or materials to clean premises, property or equipment;
- removing and disposing of debris, damaged goods, materials including injured or dead livestock;
- replacing livestock;
- repairing or replacing fencing and/or other essential property;
- purchasing and transporting fodder or feed for livestock;
- replacing lost/damaged plants, salvaging crops, repairing/restoring fields;
- repairing, reconditioning or replacing essential equipment;
- maintaining the health of livestock;
- paying additional wages to an employee to assist with clean-up work; and
- repairing buildings.
In addition to the clean-up grants, primary producers and small businesses affected by the storms and floods may be eligible for low interest loans of up to $130,000 over a period of 10 years.
"We know the clean up process will take time, so a loans scheme has also been activated as part of our response," Ms Payne said.
"The loans are intended to help small businesses return to their normal level of trading or until the next major income is received within 12 months from the date of disaster, and to replace and repair damage caused to small business and associated improvements not covered by insurance."
The Natural Disaster Loan - Small Business can be applied for via the raa.nsw.gov.au.
The online application form, grant guidelines and other information for the $75,000 Special Disaster Grants can be accessed at tinyurl.com/fmnhprre.
Susan Templeman said that Minister Littleproud and Mr Albanese's visits focussed on the turf and vegetable farmers whose businesses had been "devastated by the flooding".
"I have expressed the view that turf and vegetable producers would be one of the groups to benefit from the extra manpower and expertise [from the army] for the very urgent jobs they face, including stabilising the riverbank in order to operate their pumps," she said.
"Farmers like Paul Saad of Southern Cross Turf and Alexandria and Michael Muscat of Green Life Turf were able to explain the issues they now face ... such as keeping staff on and dealing with riverbank erosion.
"These are issues I will continue to advocate on, and ones which must be supported by all three levels of government."
Mr Albanese visited the Muscat family farm at Pitt Town Bottoms - operated by William and Elizabeth Muscat, Andrew and Teresa Muscat, and their father and father-in-law Jim Muscat.
"Market gardeners have been doing it tough, just like turf farmers, and I was glad they were able to bring their story straight to the Opposition Leader," she said.
"He was able to meet with the Muscats and hear first-hand the issues they face as they clean up and start the process of re-establishing their crops and business."


Climate Adaptation and Flood Risk in Coastal Cities
This book presents climate adaptation and flood risk problems and solutions in coastal cities , including an independent investigation of adaptation paths and problems in Rotterdam, New York and Jakarta. The comparison draws out lessons that each city can learn from the others. While the main focus is on coastal flooding, cities are also affected by climate change in other ways, including impacts that occur away from the coast. The New York City Water Supply System, for example, stretches as far as 120 miles upstate, and the New York City Department of Environmental Protection has undertaken extensive climate assessment not only for its coastal facilities, but also for its upstate facilities, which will be affected by rising temperatures, droughts, inland flooding and water quality changes. The authors examine key questions, such as: Are current city plans climate proof or do we need to finetune our ongoing investments? Can we develop a flood proof subway system? Can we develop new infrastructure in such a way that it serves flood protection, housing and natural values?

Chef Brian Gruber is the executive chef and owner of Notorious Burgers Handcrafted Burgers and Beer in Carlsbad, California, which recently won the 2016 Spectrum Award through City Beat News for excellence in customer satisfaction.
FriendsEAT: Describe the cuisine served at Notorious Burgers.
Chef Brian Gruber: Gourmet All-American comfort food. With everything from handcrafted “over-the-top”gourmet burgers, to fresh salads, sharables, sandwiches and more.
FE: What makes the restaurant special?
Chef Brian: Family, great locally-produced food and craft beer are our pillars. I own Notorious Burgers with my wonderful wife, Julie Gruber and together we come up with some of the most unique well-favored menu items and are huge supporters of local craft breweries in San Diego. So we proudly distribute local craft beer along with our one-of-a-kind gourmet burgers and more. The restaurant has a fun mobster prohibition-themed environment that allows us to play up the names of our entrees like the “Notorious B.I.G.”burger and the “Pacino’s Pork”burger.
FE: Where did you get your training?
Chef Brian: Growing up, I surrounded myself with people who were amazing chefs that cultivated the skillset that I have today. I actually starting working at a Burger King as one of my first culinary jobs and later on became a private chef for high-profile clients such as New Orleans Saints’ quarterback Drew Brees, San Diego Chargers’ linebacker Junior Seau, and former Los Angeles Lakers owner, Dr. Jerry Buss. Eventually, I received the opportunity to purchase my own restaurant and here I am today.
FE: Did you grow up cooking or did cooking come to you later in life?
Chef Brian: I have been experimenting and observing in the kitchen since I was just a kid. I was (and still am) a huge fan of Food Network and received a lot of inspiration from watching famous chefs on television and also being around a variety of cultures. My family is Dutch-Indonesian and the grandmother of one of my good friends growing up was Filipinoso I really learned a lot from her.
FE: Who in your life influenced your cooking the most?
Chef Brian: My grandfather had a ton of influence on me. I remember growing up and enjoying watching the way he chewed food. His love for food and simple ingredients had a big impact on me.
FE: What made you decide to become a chef?
Chef Brian: I realized I enjoyed watching people taste and love my foodit brought me a certain happiness. I was never really good at any other kind of art, but I wanted to do something creative for a living so I stuck with cooking! And I’m certainly glad that I did.
FE: What misconceptions do people have when they first enter the culinary field?
Chef Brian: When I entered the field, I knew I was going to work a ton of hours and be hot all the time. I was right, it is and was all that I expected but if you truly love something, it’s entirely worth the hard work and effort.
FE: What is the best cooking tip you can share for a novice?
Chef Brian: Keep it simple.
FE: What are your three favorite cooking tools?
Chef Brian: My knife, my cutting board and my apron.
FE: What is the craziest thing that has happened in your kitchen?
Chef Brian: Probably someone COMPLETELY faking a fall and I got it all on video.
FE: What is your favorite ingredient to cook with and why?
Chef Brian: Beef for sure. It is very versatile and I can eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
FE: When you’re home, what is your guilty food pleasure?
Chef Brian: I always find myself eating salami at home. I am always excited when my wife buys a big ol’ pack.
FE: What is your Favorite cookbook?
Chef Brian: “Cooking Javanese”

Come January, Microsoft planned to end support for Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit (EMET), taking away a valuable security tool that protected Windows systems from malware attacks and zero-day exploits.
While Microsoft would prefer organizations upgrade all users to Windows 10 to take advantage of its enhanced security, the company has extended support for EMET for another 18 months to give enterprises time to switch.
[ InfoWorld’s deep look: Why (and how) you should manage Windows 10 PCs like iPhones. | The essentials for Windows 10 installation: Download the Windows 10 Installation Superguide today. ]
“We have listened to customers’ feedback regarding the January 27, 2017, end-of-life date for EMET and we are pleased to announce that the end of life date is being extended 18 months,” Jeffrey Sutherland, Microsoft’s principal lead program for OS security, wrote on TechNet’s Security Research & Defense.
The reprieve gives administrators until July 2018 to get users off Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 and on to Windows 10, at which point EMET will finally enter end-of-life. The timing is close to the Windows 8 end-of-life on January 2018; Windows 7 already ended mainstream support in 2015, and extended support will end in 2020.
Originally introduced in 2009, EMET adds security defenses like address space layout randomization (ASLR) and data execution prevention (DEP) to Windows systems to make it harder for malware to trigger zero-day vulnerabilities, or software flaws that were unknown and have not yet been patched. However, it has “serious limits” because security is being bolted onto the operating system, Sutherland said. EMET’s method for interfacing with Windows-hooking into “low-level areas of the operating system”-isn’t part of the original design and has caused performance and reliability issues for some users.
EMET is also showing its age. Researchers have developed complex methods to bypass it, and the fact that a handful of malware strains have succeeded in infecting machines despite the toolkit indicates that it won’t be as effective against future zero-day exploits.
“Many of EMET’s features were not developed as robust security solutions,” Sutherland said. “As such, while they blocked techniques that exploits used in the past, they were not designed to offer real durable protection against exploits over time.”
While the latest version, EMET 5.5, supports Windows 10, the toolkit is primarily intended to beef up security for older versions of Windows, from Vista to 8.1. Many of these features are now baked into Windows 10, so enterprise users on the latest Windows operation system don’t get additional security benefits from the toolkit in the way users on older Windows systems do.
“Its effectiveness against modern exploit kits has not been demonstrated,” Sutherland noted.
Microsoft has been encouraging enterprises to upgrade their users to Windows 10, to take advantage of newer security features such as DEP, ASLR, Control Flow Guard, and other security mitigations to prevent bypasses in User Access Control and exploits targeting the browser. The enhanced security features are currently available in Windows 10 Enterprise or Education.
Microsoft will be providing a detailed guide for administrators on how to move from older versions of Windows using EMET to Windows 10 at a later date. Enterprises who have been dragging their feet about upgrading to Windows 10 will soon have no choice, since Windows 7 Extended Support ends in 2020 and Windows 8.1 Extended Support will end 2023. EMET’s looming death knell is another way Microsoft is pushing everyone on to Windows 10.
EMET was one of the best tools available to defenders, and it will be sorely missed. But this is the price to pay to have an operation system which has security baked in.

It will go 32 miles on electric power alone.
Buyers already love the latest Sorento, and now Kia will give eco-conscious shoppers a new reason to buy one. After launching the 2021 Kia Sorento Hybrid last year, the 2022 Kia Sorento Plug-In Hybrid is ready to join the lineup in the United States. Like the standard HEV model, the PHEV uses a 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. On its own, the four-pot develops 177 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque.
Those output figures are nothing to shout about, but when combined with a 66.9 kW electric motor, the Sorento PHEV produces a healthy 261 hp (more than the heavier Highlander Hybrid) paired to all-wheel drive. On electric power alone, the Sorento PHEV will narrowly beat its Hyundai Santa Fe counterpart with a 32-mile range, the best of any three-row PHEV on sale. However, it won't go as far on electric juice as the Toyota RAV4 Prime.
When running on gasoline and electricity, the Sorento PHEV achieves 79 MPGe. According to the EPA, this number drops to a still-impressive 34 mpg when running on gasoline alone. Kia says the Sorento PHEV should travel 460 miles on a tank of gasoline and a full charge, which is impressive considering the model comes with all-wheel-drive as standard. The Sorento PHEV will take approximately 8.7 seconds to hit 60 mph, so it won't give the RAV4 Prime any trouble in a head-to-head drag race.
Unlike the Toyota, the Kia includes third-row seating as standard with room for six passengers. Kia says the Sorento is the only mainstream PHEV on the market to offer a third row. And with 143.8 cubic feet of passenger space, it's roomier than any other PHEV SUV.
Buyers can spot the PHEV via its specialized rear badging, rear charge port, and 19-inch wheels.
No pricing is available yet, but Kia says the PHEV will qualify for a $6,587 federal tax credit and various state incentives. While the standard Sorento Hybrid only comes in lower S and EX trims, the PHEV is positioned as a more luxurious option in SX and SX-P trims. The latter is impressively equipped with a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, surround-view monitor, blind spot cameras, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror.
More information, including pricing, will be available closer to the on-sale date in the third quarter of 2021.

Contrary to the lessons of my upbringing as a native New Yorker, there is an exciting world beyond the Big Apple.
In the middle of the U.S. along Interstate 70, it includes fire-breathing dragons, actual open space, museums that can go days without visitors and 200-feet-tall symbols of God.
Driving hundreds and hundreds of miles on the second day of my four-day road trip from the East Coast to Denver, I was reminded of the important fact that New York City is not the center of the universe (something that becomes especially clear after ten hours of driving in the actual geographic center of America).
Unconvinced that driving thousands of miles -- after only really practicing a few times in Manhattan -- would give me enough adventure, I researched quirky roadside attractions that might liven up my time, which on Day Two was spent in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Missouri. And to be sure I didn't miss anything, I kept a very close watch on billboard advertisements featuring potential detours -- a practice closely associated with my signature out-of-control swerve that fellow drivers acknowledged with supportive honks and encouraging eye contact.And as exciting as the anticipation is for my GPS' next direction ("Keep left and stay on I-70 West for 200 miles"), I needed something more to keep me energized. That's why I frantically exited the highway in Indiana and followed little brown signs on desolate roads that led me to the birthplace of Wilbur Wright, i.e., the womb of flight.
A few factors made this unlike any other historical landmark I've visited in my life. First, I've never had a whole museum to myself (and my mother, my supportive road trip companion), and I've also never been to a museum in the middle of (relative) nowhere. Thus, I've never heard so much silence. Signs in the backyard of Wilbur's house mark the locations of the first successful flights. The exhibit gives extensive history and shows visitors where Wilbur slept and worked. The museum even takes you to the room where he first walked as a toddler -- the first first step to flight!
A white-bearded, slow-talking Wright enthusiast in charge of the museum when I showed up told me that some days they get a good handful of visitors. Other days, none. Last year, he said, people from 48 states and 27 countries dropped in.
I didn't ended up learning a ton, partly because the eerie, un-urban quiet of the exhibit and the surrounding town of Millville kind of creeped us out, prompting us to leave after only about twenty minutes.Later, we found a somewhat less educational attraction -- a fire-breathing 35-foot-long metal dragon just off of I-70, apparently built under the auspices of a local hardware store in Vandalia, Illinois. Purchased at a liquor store across the street, a one-dollar token -- which informs its users that "dragon fire brings good luck" -- can be inserted into the dragon, prompting it to shoot out real flames for about ten seconds. I can't say it was overwhelmingly thrilling, but it was definitely more amusing than the predictable landscape of roadkill and fast food ads along this part of I-70.
The one other noteworthy site we visited was a giant white cross just off the highway in Effingham, Illinois. The "Cross at the Crossroads" (at the intersection of highways 57 and 70) juts out nearly 200 feet into the sky.After talking my way out of watching an eight-minute video at the welcome center for the cross, the friendly woman in charge asked me where I was from. When I said New York, she joked: "Will you take me with you?"
I responded that I would, except for one obstacle. It was the truth that was becoming clearer and clearer throughout the day: "I'm driving away from New York."

The cost of living in Canada has increased due to rising consumer inflation rates, food, housing, and gas prices. Nevertheless, Canada continues to be a well-liked location for immigrants due to its strong public education system, universal health care system, and breathtaking natural beauty.
Whether you are a newcomer or someone already residing in Canada, below, you can learn about the cost of living in Canada in 2022. However, remember that the cost of living varies depending on cities.
So, we compiled the list of 27 cities at end of this article with latest numbers on cost of living index.
Cost of Living in Canada 2022
According to Numbeo, a worldwide database that provides an estimated cost of living, the monthly cost for a single person to live in Canada without rent is CAD 1,199.87. While the monthly cost for a family of four is 4,318.93C$ without rent.
Compared to the United States, the cost of living in Canada is 9.36% on average lower. Similarly, the rent in Canada is about 30.37% lower than in the United States. In terms of salary, the average monthly net salary in Canada is 4,181.53 (after tax).

Monthly rent in Canada
The cost of rental apartments varies according to location; generally, apartments in the city centre tend to be more expensive.
For example, a one-bedroom apartment in the city centre is approximately CAD 1,573.52. While outside the city centre, you could get a one-bedroom apartment for CAD 1,331.49.
If you have a big family, a three-bedroom apartment in the city center is about CAD 2,579.55. However, a three-bedroom apartment outside the centre is CAD 2,239.15.
Cost of Utilities
Utilities include basic electricity, heating, cooling, water and garbage. Depending on your rental situation, the utilities may or may not be part of your rent. Therefore, you may consider the cost of utilities in addition to your monthly rent.
For a 915 sq ft apartment, which translates to the approximate area of two bedrooms and one bathroom, the utilities could be about $178.09 per month. In some cases, even the internet is not part of the rent; getting a connection for 60 Mbps or more with unlimited data could cost about $82.35.
If your rent does not include utilities and internet, consider these charges in addition to your monthly rent and other expense.
Cost of Transportation
The cost of public transport may differ according to your location. However, for using local transport, such as bus or train, the estimated cost for one way ticket is $3.25. Moreover, if you get a monthly pass, it could range between CAD 100-156.
Using other transport, such as a local taxi or an Uber, could be expensive and could cost about $34 for a local ride.
Cost of Groceries
As the market continues to recover from the pandemic and disrupted supply chain, the cost of basic groceries often changes.
Some basic iteams, such as 1 gallon of regular milk, could cost CAD 9.88. While a loaf of white bread costs CAD 2.80, and 1 lb of white rice could cost CAD 1.82. Other items, such as eggs and chicken, can cost CAD 6.51 and CAD 6.45, respectively.
Cost for leisure activities, sports and restaurants
The cost of the leisure activity or a meal depends on the type of activity and meal you choose. For example, a meal at an inexpensive restaurant could cost about CAD 20. On the other hand, a three-course dinner for two people at a mid-range restaurant could sum up to CAD 150.
However, there are alternative cheaper options such as a McMeal at Mcdonald’s that cost about CAD 12. For sports activities, such as joining a fitness club, the monthly membership fee for an adult is CAD 21. Moreover to rent a tennis court for an hour cost about CAD 22.08.
Lastly, to watch a movie or any international release, a single ticket could cost $14.50.
Cost of living by cities in Canada
As mentioned earlier, the cost of living would depend on the province you locate in and your type of spending and needs. In the table below, you can compare the cost of living between cities, starting with the highest cost of living to the lowest.

Taiwan-based electronics contract manufacturer Hon Hai Precision Industry Co Ltd or Foxconn has reportedly said that the production of the 5G iPhones is likely to start on schedule for the fall launch of the new handsets.
Taipei: based electronics contract manufacturer Hon Hai Precision Industry Co Ltd or Foxconn has reportedly said that the production of the 5G iPhones is likely to start on schedule for the fall launch of the new handsets.
Foxconn had to close its factories for a month due to the COVID-19 outbreak, but has already resumed normal operations, reports GSMArena.
The upcoming iPhone 12 is rumoured to have new colour and screen size options, as well as 5G support.
According to Alex Yang, investor relations chief at Foxconn, the company is working with Apple's engineers to make up for lost time.
However, he cautioned that "if there is a further delay in the next few weeks, months, then you probably have to reconsider launching time. It is still possible".
The introduction of 5G iPhones later this year would serve as a catalyst that can accelerate Apple iPhone growth in the financial year 2021, a Morgan Stanley report said recently.
The Cupertino- based tech giant is rumored to introduce four high-end iPhone 12 models with notched OLED displays and 5G support in the fall, including a 5.4-inch model, two 6.1-inch models, and a 6.7-inch model.
Additionally, some or all of the models are expected to gain a LiDAR scanner for augmented reality.
"Taking India's digital transformation & connectivity to new heights, Hon'ble PM, @narendramodi, will roll out 5G services in India; at India Mobile Congress; Asia's largest technology exhibition," read the screenshot of the tweet.
What’s playing out today in India is eerily similar to what happened in the US Midwest five years ago, but this time the people and government of Gujarat have no excuse for not being aware of what’s likely to unravel. Americans were told clearly that the project in Mount Pleasant didn’t make sense. But still, they went ahead.

Forget that cinnamon-roll-at-the-mall temptation! Wrap leftovers in plastic wrap and freeze in an airtight bag as individual servings. Let stand on the counter until thawed, and then pop in the microwave for 30 seconds until warmed.
Yields: 1 serving
Total Time: 2 hours 55 mins
1 c. whole milk
1/2 c. packed light brown sugar
1 tbsp. active dry yeast
2 large eggs
1/4 c. fat-free plain greek yogurt
1 tbsp. vanilla extract
4 c. white whole wheat flour
2 tbsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 c. raisins
3 tbsp. trans-free margarine
3/4 c. maple syrup
1 1/2 c. pecans, coarsely chopped
- Warm the milk in the microwave until the temperature reaches 100Â° to 110Â°F, 30 to 40 seconds. Stir in the brown sugar and yeast and let the mixture sit for 10 minutes, or until bubbles form. Combine the eggs, yogurt, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl.
- Combine the flour, 1 tablespoon of the cinnamon, and the salt in a large bowl of a stand mixer with a dough hook. Slowly add the milk and yogurt mixtures while the mixer is running on low. Knead for 8 minutes, adding the raisins after about 5 minutes. Coat the bowl and dough with cooking spray. Cover and keep in a warm place until the dough is doubled in bulk (about 1 hour).
- Meanwhile, mix the margarine and 1/4 cup of the maple syrup in a small bowl and set aside. Combine 1 cup of the pecans, 1/4 cup of the syrup, and the remaining 1 tablespoon cinnamon in another small bowl and set aside. Coat a 13" x 9" baking dish with cooking spray and pour the remaining 1/4 cup syrup over the bottom. Cover with the remaining 1/2 cup pecans. Set aside.
- Punch down the dough and transfer to a lightly floured work surface. Roll the dough into a rectangle about 1/2" thick. Spread the margarine mixture over the dough, leaving a 1" border around the edges. Slowly pour the pecan-syrup mixture into the center and spread over the margarine mixture.
- Starting on a long side, carefully roll the dough into a log shape. Slice into 12 equal pieces. Arrange the pieces cut side up in the baking dish. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 45 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350Â°F. Bake the rolls uncovered for 30 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool slightly and serve warm.
