It may sound like a list of religious standards for Dogs 😉 but it is a simple and basic way to communicate with your Dog and to keep your Dog safe by using these 10 commands
Your Bulldog is your best friend, but a Dog must have good manners, so people and dogs around will enjoy it’s company Dogs are able to learn a variety of commands and by learning them your dog will be socialized, friendly and controlled
Teaching your dog to understand a vocabulary of basic commands will go a long way towards alleviating misunderstandings
Every dog owner should establish a list of Basic Commands to train with These commands will create a foundation of communication Read More
This command is often paired with sit or down, the stay command tells dogs to relax, and stay still for a while It’s not the easiest command for many dogs to learn because they’d rather be moving around than staying still
Ask your dog to sit or lie down, then tell her stay, holding your hand out with your palm toward her nose in the stop position If she holds the position for a second or two, praise her and offer a treat Repeat the sequence, gradually increasing the time
This command tells your dog to quit fidgeting and be still It’s useful for when you’re grooming him, bathing him, checking him over, or drying him off on a wet day
Only start with this command after the dog has mastered the Sit and Down command
Prepare for Training All you need to teach your dog to stand is a handful of treats You will also want to find a quiet place that is free of distractions so your dog will keep its focus on you
Start off with your dog either sitting or lying down in front of you Hold a treat right in front of its nose, and give the command stand Very slowly pull the treat straight out from its nose and toward you. Your dog should stand up to follow the treat The moment it is standing, praise your dog and give it the treat
Like sit, the down command is an essential part of doggy etiquette
Lying down is one of the harder commands for dogs to learn, but it’s very useful Dogs who understand ‘down’ are much more welcome in cafes and other public places, and much more pleasant to have near the dinner table
It’s also useful to help with social tension between dogs when they are on the leash and an approaching dog is scared or unsure Give your dog the down command This will help the other dog to feel safe and pass by
Laying down is also a good way to calm the dog but try not to use the down command as a correction
I myself use different commands for down and calm down The down command should be about the position the calming down, is not a position but a state of mind
Get a nice smelling treat and hold it in your closed hand First ask your dog to sit, later on you can teach to lie down from standing, but it’s easiest to start from a sit
Place your hand up to your dog’s nose allowing it to sniff the treat Your dog will follow the movement with his body, lowering his head and stretching toward the treat After your dog is in the prone position, say Down Give your dog the treat and praise it
Walking is extremely beneficial for your dog, and for you! Teaching your dog to heel is a valuable skill which makes everyone happier and healthier in the long run!
Heel simply means that your dog will walk close by your side without lagging behind or lunging ahead
The great thing about teaching a dog to heel is that the dog is under very close control in this position You can communicate with the dog quietly and easily and reward him quickly and easily
The most important part of teaching your dog to heel is getting him to maintain his attention on you For this reason, it’s best to work on this command in short (5 to 10 minutes), frequent, intense sessions Regular sessions will bring rapid results
Heeling is a very challenging lesson and, more than any other, it will require your patience, consistency and persistence
The process of training a dog to heel goes through four key stages
Establish heel position Moving positions Walk at heel Add distractions
Establish heel position What we want to do is get the dog into the heel position, let him know that this is the position we are looking for and reward him for being there
Start in a quiet room or yard with no distractions, no other dogs, no kids, no toys, just you and the dog
Quick Tip If you position yourself next to a wall with just enough space between you and the wall to accommodate the dog, it will help to keep him close to you and in the right position
Have a treat in your hand and lure the dog into the correct position next to you by moving the treat in a big circle Make sure the dog is really close to you before praising the dog and giving the treat
Repeat this step before starting to move Take a few steps give the heel command and wait for the dog to take position
Moving positions When your dog mastered the first step start moving around and try to keep your dog’s attention ideally the dog will be purely focused on you and looking up
You will want to keep the dog’s focus so don’t be shu with treats When you start moving around give treats every few seconds and slowly reduce the amount of treats Keep attention to your timing
Walk at heel When your dog is following in position try moving around and decrease the amount of treats while keeping your dog’s attention When your dog is closely following and focused you can move on to the last step
Add distractions Repeat all training steps but now try to do it in an area with lots of distractions like the dogpark
When giving the treat your hand should always be next to your leg, the spot where the dog heels Do not reach but only give the treat when the dog is in the correct position the dog should focus on and follow you
This is an especially good command for dogs who will not hesitate to grab food or anything they find on the ground
Dogs manage to get their teeth on all sorts of things that can be dangerous for them, which is why the leave it command is so important
The number one poison hazard for dogs is human prescription medication, even a single pill can have devastating effects on a dog There is also the danger of chewing on and swallowing items that can get stuck in their throats or intestinal tracts
Unless a dog has been taught to drop whatever is in his mouth, he may play keep away or swallow the item before the owner can retrieve it A dog that understands leave it will leave an object alone or let go of the item, which can then be taken away
Have your dog on a leash and drop a treat or toy onto the ground Walk your dog past the toy just short of where he could get it As soon as you notice him pulling toward the toy, sharply say, Leave it and pull him away
When he walks away without you having to pull him, reward him with a snack and tell him what a good dog he is Repeat this with a longer leash and later without a leash, until he listens to you and ignores the toy Never forget to reward and praise
First train this with toys When the dog has mastered that, try the same with food and treats
This command is used to prepare your dog to go on a walk, you can use Out of Walkies Just make sure to use is consistent
Why is this command useful? You are letting the dog know you are going out together and asking him or her to prepare This means the dog will wait for you to get the leash and sit down so you can easily put on their collars
Usually people will just grab the dog’s leash and the dog will jump and get overexcited making it hard to put them on the leash also you want your dog to be happy but calm when leaving the house
Training Before putting on a coat or grabbing the leash Give the command out or walkies At first the dog will not know the meaning and won’t respond but it will soon figure out this is the sign to go outside
Make sure your dog is calm and sits down before putting on their collar/leash Repeat and your dog will soon learn to sit down and wait for you to come and take him or her outside
Rare is a Bulldog that doesn’t prefer an expensive sofa or chair over his own bed Dogs that understand the command off won’t necessarily stay off the furniture, but at least they’ll get off quickly when they know the command The command is used to get dogs down on the ground
Training When your dog is on the couch, say off and gently get him down from the couch Give a treat when he or she is on the floor Repeat this until your dog will respond to the command by jumping down on its own waiting for a treat
Dogs are instinctively clean animals. If they can avoid it, they would rather not soil themselves or their usual surroundings. Dogs naturally develop habits of certain areas where they would like to poop or pee. The key to house training a dog, is to rely on your dog’s natural instincts and tendencies. For example, most dogs will rather go on the grass or dirt than on concrete or gravel. You can use these natural tendencies for a successful house training. Here are some tips on housetraining a puppy or an adult dog and some insights on other problems with urination like marking their territory.
House Training a Puppy
The first thing to do is to establish a living area in your home for your dog. This area can be a room in the house, a part of the kitchen etc. This will be his or hers own personal space. Next thing to do is to put the bed or crate, the food, waterbowl and toys in that area. In the beginning, the dog may poop or pee in their bed or crate but once they realize that this is their special place, they will try to avoid soiling it.
Next thing to do is establish your dog’s toilet area. Try to find an outside area nearby with quick and easy access. When housetraining it’s a smart thing to keep his collar on and leave his leash nearby. Now all you have to do, is watch and wait. Put your dog in their place and watch it non-stop. Most dogs express the same behaviour when they are about pee or poo. They will start looking and sniffing around for a spot to go. When you see this, it is your time to intervene. Quickly attach the leash to it’s collar and go to the toilet area. Make sure when walking to the toilet area, your dog doesn’t go on the way, keep the leash tight and keep your dog close.
To make things easier on both yourself and your dog, you should put your dog on a regular feeding schedule. What goes in on a regular schedule, will come out on a regular schedule. If you know when your dog needs to empty out, then you’ll know when to take her to her toilet area. Healthy adult dogs should be able to control their bladder and bowels for eight hours.
It’s important that you do not confine your dog without access to her toilet area for too long. If she can’t hold it, she will be forced to soil herself, her bed or her den. If this happens, it may become a habit and will take much longer to housetrain him or her. A common mistake is to punish the dog when peeing or pooing in the house. It’s very important for you to remember that you have to intervene and snap him or her out of it so you can show where to go properly. If you do punish the dog for this behaviour, your dog will be fearful to go whenever you are around and will still poo or pee inhome when you are not there or not looking.
The best way is to anticipate when your dog has to go and get him or her outside, before you have to intervene. When they do go outside make sure to reward his good behaviour exuberantly. When your dog does make a mistake inhouse make sure to clean the whole area directly and thoroughly. Use a powerful cleaner, I recommend a cleaner with lemon fragrance, an enzymatic cleaner can help break down the proteins left over from the urine, thus removing the smell as well as the impulse for the pet to urinate in the same spot again. Dogs don’t like the scent of lemon so it will not only take the smell away but it will also work as a repellent. Of course the petstores are full of anti-pee products, but water with an enzymatic lemoncleaner works everytime and is a lot cheaper.
Some people use newspapers or paper towels to make a temporary inhome doggytoilet which they will slowly move further away and eventually outside. Personally I disapprove of this method. I think a better, easier and more effective way to housetrain your puppy or dog, is to do teach him to go outside from day one. This will also exclude the possibility that your dog will keep associating newspapers or other used materials as a pee-spot.
House Training an Adult dog
Some adolescent or adult dogs urinate or defecate inside the house.The first thing you have to do, is rule out any medical problems. If it is not a medical problem, there can be several reasons for an adult dog to show this behaviour. Here are some of the most common reasons:
Urine Marking (marking territory)
Lack of house training (kenneldogs or strays)
A surface preference (dogs who will only pee on certain materials like beds, carpet, paper)
Anxiety (urinating out of fear) or excitement urination
House training an adult dog is done in exactly the same way you do as house training a puppy. Let’s go over the most common reasons:
If you find small amounts of urine in your home your dog might be marking. With urine marking, the dog deposits a smaller amount of urine. Marking in the house is usually done to an upright surface such as a doorway, table leg or other piece of furniture. The dog will lift it’s hind leg and mark urine on practically any object in your house. Quite often the object is something new or different with an unfamiliar smell that has come into the house but not necessarily so. He is also likely to mark items that he feels belong to him such as anything that he has become possessive about including you. Allthough female are known to mark their territory too it is more common in males.
We as humans tend to think of dog urine as something unpleasant but to a dog it is something of great interest. A dog leaves it’s scent in urine to tell other dogs a message. This message could be about whose territory it is, about the dog’s social order or advertising mating availability. Dogs use urine marking to show their dominance or to claim something. Dogs with feelings of insecurity or anxiety may also mark, as territory marking builds the dog’s confidence.
Some facts about Urine marking:
Most dogs that are neutered or spayed at an early age do not mark in the house, male dogs that are not castrated are more likely to mark than castrated dogs.
Although male dogs are more likely to mark urine than females it is not unknown for a female dog to scent mark too. Often a female dog coming into heat or during it will mark to advertise her availability. A dominant female will also mark.
Small breeds tend to mark in the house more than larger dogs.
Two or more dogs living together in the same house may regard each other as competition and are more prone to urine marking. Urine marking can be a dominance issue.
How to stop your dog from marking:
Neutering will stop marking behavior in the majority of dogs. For older dogs, neutering may still have the desired effect but marking in the house may have become a habit that you will have to break
Supervise and break the habit (just like in the puppy training mentioned above) Close supervision is necessary. You must be dedicated to stop the marking behavior of your dog and you must be consistent
Lack of House Training
If your dog was kept in outside kennels, was a stray or maybe has an unknown history it is likely the dog was never house trained at all. In these cases you adjust the behaviour by giving them the same training as the puppy training mentioned above with a sidenote that a dog that has had a certain habit for a long time, it might take a little longer than with a puppy.
If your dog has a surface preferance, you first have to remove those preferred items from his place. The second thing you have to do is to make sure your dog knows what rooms, items or materials are off limit to him. You will not accomplish anything by taking the items away from him. You have to confronte the behaviour. So if your dog pees on blankets or papers don’t give him any in his place, but put one in front of you on the floor. Now make sure your dog knows, you own that blanket and it is off limits. Try this with all the preferred items in different areasand and repeat frequently.
Age-related or Medical Incontinence
There is not really much you can do about this problem. Just like humans these are some of the symptoms of getting old. Don’t blame your dog for getting old. Try walking your dog more often for short periods of time. Some older dogs completely empty their bladder while others may leak small amounts of urine when they are asleep or leak continuously. If there is no medical solution and short walks are not enough, you might consider doggy diapers.
Anxiety and Excitement
Sometimes when a major change happens in a dog’s life (like a new family member or pet, a new house or losing a pet or family member) the dog may develop anxiety issues. This anxiety can cause a dog that has been housebroken for years to suddenly start urinating or defecating indoors. This kind of behaviour needs a different approach. You have to take the anxiety away before you can break their bad habit. A fearful or anxious dog needs a strong leader. By showing your dog that you are in charge and your dog can relax. Take him on daily walks, keep his mind aswell as his body busy and make sure your dog has a safe and quiet place to retreat.
If your dog has seperation anxiety and this results in urinating or defecating in the house it is crucial to gradually accustom a dog to being alone, by starting with many short separations that do not produce anxiety and then gradually increasing the duration of the separations over many weeks of daily sessions. In these cases you might consider getting a dog behaviourist or dog trainer involved.
What NOT to do
Do not rub your dog’s nose in it’s waste. First of all it does not work as a training method and second of all it is cruel
Do not get angry or physically punish your dog for eliminating indoors. Do not hit with a newspaper, spank or jerk on it’s collar. Realize that if your dog has an accident in the house, you failed to adequately supervise, you didn’t take her outside quick enough, or you ignored or were unaware of signals that it needed to go outside. Punishment might frighten your dog and will probably even worsen the problem!
Confining your dog is not a solution to the problem and is cruel
Do not crate your dog if she soils in the crate. This will just teach the bad habit of soiling the sleeping area and will make it even harder to house train your dog
House training is a process that takes time and patience and above all structure. Don’t get frustrated, for some puppies or dogs it may take a little bit longer, but in my experience most dog are house trained in a few days even the adult dogs. Let’s end this blog with some related funnies 😉
Unless given a command to jump, your dog should never be allowed to jump on humans. A dog that jumps on humans on its own free will is a dog that does not respect the person it is jumping on. Even those cute little puppies or dogs should not be allowed to jump on people. While you may think it is cute, it is not cute to everyone else. Not only is it annoying to most people to have someone else’s dog jump on them, it can also be dangerous especially for little kids or elderly people. A jumping dog can knock people over, muddy their clothes, put runners in nylons and scratch the skin.
There are mainly three reasons for the jumping behaviour in dogs.
Trained Behaviour (Your dog could be seeking your attention and has been rewarded with it by jumping up in the past)
Before you start adressing the behaviour you have to know which of the reasons named above is the cause of your dog jumping. A different reason might also mean a different way to adress it. For instance a hyperactive dog is mostly helped by snapping him out of it or by redirecting the behaviour by giving it a command. So instead of letting them jump around give the dog a command like sit and make your dog patiently wait before giving any attention. When the reason is dominance claiming your space is very important. Remember dominance does not mean agression. So your dog might be very loving and non agressive but still dominant. When a dog jumps on a human of its own free will, it is not greeting the human, it is asserting its dominance over the human, it is the dogs way of saying that it is alpha/leader/boss. Space is respect and lower members of the pack respect the higher members. Note: when a young puppy jumps on humans it is sometimes its attempt to reach one’s face. Puppies need to be taught not to jump up on humans as this behavior will manifest into a bigger problem when the puppy grows up into an adult dog.
Dogs like and need consistency, so if you are not allowing your dog to jump on you, everyone in the family and everyone who greets the dog must do the same. You, as an owner, must make sure this happens. It will only confuse a dog if you allow them to jump on some people who say they do not mind, and tell him not to jump on others.
Stopping the Jumps
It is very important to you, your dog and the people around you that your dog is well balanced. When a dog jumps up against you, do not step back or lean away, this will make the dog continue to jump. When you get out of the way the dog is claiming your space. When a dog jumps, step into the dog. Picture a sphere around you and are not going to allow anyone or anything to come into your space. You are not trying to knock the dog down you are just claiming your space. Casually and calmly, keep filling your space, not allowing room for the dog to come in. Remember, your goal is not to knock the dog down, it’s just to retain your space.

The planning phase of the federal government’s inquiry into missing and murdered indigenous women is complete.
After announcing in December plans to shape how an inquiry should work and how far its mandate should extend, the federal Liberals are expected to formally announce the start of its inquiry on Wednesday.
Indigenous Affairs Minister Carolyn Bennett will meet families of missing and murdered indigenous women Tuesday night, on the eve of the government’s formal announcement which will mark the end of the government’s role in shaping the design of the inquiry and the beginning of work for the commissioners.
It’s expected that five commissioners will spend at least two years looking into a variety of issues, including policing practices and the justice system, and that the inquiry will have the power to summon witnesses and to compel them to give evidence. While $40-million has been ear-marked for the inquiry over the two years, Bennett says that’s a place-holder budget and is subject to change.
Pre-inquiry consultations raised several key themes, including policing practices and the justice system, the role of colonialism and residential schools and poverty.

Over 15 cars were set on fire at the Apo Mechanic Village, Abuja on Monday amid the ongoing #EndSARS protests.
According to The Whistler Newpaper’s correspondent who visited the scene, said that some car dealers are accusing the northern youths known as “Aboki” of perpetrating the dastardly act.
About 15 cars were burnt beyond recognition while 14 cars were badly vandalized.
According to Azeez Adisa, a car dealer who witnessed the onslaught, and lost vehicles worth millions of naira, said the hoodlums were “Aboki boys” and they suddenly appeared and started destroying cars with harmful tools before setting them ablaze.
He said they first chased all the dealers away before spraying petrol on the vehicles.
Adiza said, “Police were at that junction. They didn’t come near the place. They stayed just there (pointing at the Kabusa Junction, Apo) with two Hilux. They were there for almost one hour while hoodlums injured scores of people”.
Adisa sadly said he was now in a financial crisis because a customer had deposited N2million for a Toyota High Lander worth N5million which was among the vandalised cars.
Another witness, Temitope Olushola, pleaded with the federal government to come to their aid and assist all those directed affected by the accident including those in the hospital who sustained injuries.

More of the Magnificent Matthias
Back in 2009 I first featured German actor Matthias Schweighöfer and his impressive body of work. In that feature (HERE:) I showcased images from his work in 2007's Das Wilde Leben' and Kammerflimmern and Baal, both in 2004.
Well ten years after Baal, (below) Matthias continues to take on roles, and take off his clothes, in both movies and German television shows. I love Matthias look, his incredible body and great face, freckles and beautiful blue eyes. Given the actor seems to be comfortable naked in front of the camera, I felt it my civic duty to update you all, since my 2009 piece, with more of my favorite Matthias moments.

The traditional color of Venetian facades is a pinkish-brown hue, and there is a unique reason for this. In the past, the facades of this old city were often coated with a Terracotta plaster made of lime and clay. The clay was sourced from old bricks and roof tiles, because exporting waste or importing raw materials was very costly in this city surrounded by shallow waters. This plaster was a derivative of an ancient Roman plaster, which was made by combining lime with Terra di Pozzuoli (today pozzolana), an earth containing a high percentage of clay. Indeed, Romans had discovered that the addition of clay conveys hydraulic properties to lime. This type of lime hardens even underwater, making it ideal for building in the midst of rivers and in the presence of high humidity, such as in the city of Venice.
LimeClay is the improved version of this terracotta plaster typical of the Venetian architectural tradition. It is an ideal plaster for exterior walls due to its incredible durability and moisture resistance. LimeClay, however, is also a healthy choice for indoors, as it helps regulate the balance and healthiness of the environment. How is this possible?
LimeClay Plaster is produced with hydrated lime and baked clay. The benefits of using clay plaster are well-known. Clay regulates relative interior humidity and protects the environment from infectious bacteria. Moreover, clay produces negative ions. Negatively ionized oxygen molecules attach themselves to red blood cells, which improves blood quality.

Best of the Fest: Nina
Photo by fujirockers.org Text by Nina Cataldo
Posted on 2021.8.24 21:41
Notes from a first time reporter, long time music lover
It’s been a true joy and honor to not only attend this year’s one-of-a-kind Fuji Rock experience, but to also have the chance to report and share the experience with all of you, the readers. This year marks ten years since I attended my first big-scale music festival. I was a high school student in the Pacific Northwest, USA, back then. A lot has happened in those ten years; attending music festivals in various countries, organizing small scale music events, DJing, playing synthesizer in a band…it’s clear that my love for music and the cultures built around it only grow more each and every year.
Ever since I attended my first Fuji Rock in 2016, I was immediately drawn to the positive aspects of a Japanese festival that’s different from many others I’ve attended. It’s clean; flushing Porta-Potties and personal trash bags upon entry which everyone uses. It’s respectful; never having to fight my way to the front of the stage or be on high alert. Also, it’s freeing and so much fun; away from the big city where everyone could be less stressed and happier. With this year’s Fuji Rock, those aspects that made me fall in love with the festival stayed true.
It also gave me a chance to discover and support so many domestic musicians that I would have otherwise never listened to. To hear so many of the artists speak on stage about this opportunity was moving, too. Many of them would not have gotten a chance to perform if it were for bigger name artists coming from overseas. So, in that sense, it’s been a great way to support more people in the Japanese music world. Especially in times like this where people like us in the performing arts need to lean each other as much as we can.
I’m still amazed by the leadership the festival took to show Japan and the world how a safe large-scale event could be conducted in these times. Sure, I missed drinking beer and dancing till the wee hours of the morning like other years, but to be able to witness history in the making was still rad. So, without further ado, I want to reflect back and share with you my favorite parts of this year’s Fuji Rock:
Nina picking an alternative metal band as her highlight musician?! Y’all, these are truly weird times. I was hesitant to check out SiM because I had no idea what to expect, but I was truly blown away by their performance, and more so, their energy. Frontman, MAH, is a sweet talker; not only funny, but also inspirational. Him and his similarly lively band members really got the crowd going on the Green Stage. They were frank about their main stage performance being a fortuitous one due to the domestic lineup, which was a wakeup call to me (and maybe many others) about how important it is to support Japanese artists on a global scale. Their passion for their music and wanting to spread its positivity to all listeners – whether they’re long-time fans or not – coincidentally made me become a big fan.
2. TAMIW (and everything about ROOKIE A GO GO)
Moving the ROOKIE A GO GO stage to the central part of Fuji Rock was absolutely the right move. This is the stage for rookies – the ones that can use the most exposure – and to put them in the pathway to other festival ground locations made many people stop and listen to bands that they otherwise may not have checked out. I saw quite a few bands on this stage this year, and each one of them stunned me. Many of the large stage artists started out playing at ROOKIE A GO GO so checking this stage out also means you may see some history in the making. TAMIW, in particular, became one of my favorite acts of the weekend. So much so that I listened to their music on the ride back home from the festival. Never underestimate the power of the rookies at festivals!
3. Pyramid Garden
What a great place to start and/or end the day. In the mornings, there was yoga and the best breakfast food around (Little Nap Coffee and their banana bread/muffins). By evening, live acts by candle light and bonfire helped wind down any hectic day. If I were camping, I’d choose the campgrounds around this area for sure.
This is a surprise act on my list as I wasn’t particularly fussed about their set at the time. But when looking back on the weekend, one of the big points that kept coming back to me was how AJICO has been performing since 2000 and this was their FIRST time at Fuji Rock. How is that even possible? They were enchanting, mystical, and perfect amount of wack and talent for an act at Fuji Rock. I loved the lead singer’s fashion and enjoyed their performance. I hope they come back again!
5. The SMASH Team & Everyone at the festival
This is a no brainer. A festival is nothing without the people. And the people this year were fantastic. As a first time reporter for Fuji Rock, I was nervous and unsure of what to expect. But everyone that I worked with were incredible, kind, and I was completely in awe of their talents and their teamwork.
In addition, the festival attendees were the highlights. In a hard year like this, I really had no idea what everyone would be like. But each person I saw or came across was respectful – especially of the restrictions put in place. It reminded me how much everyone wanted to be at Fuji Rock and how everyone wanted to make it a success so we can have more festival to come in the future. Many many thanks to you all!

Recently, everyone’s favourite Home Secretary, Jacqui Smith, set a few disturbing proposals to House of Commons, following advice by the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs (AMCD), regarding the sale of cannabis seeds and smoking paraphernalia. Let’s have a little look, shall we?
The AMCD recommends investigating:
“whether it might be practical to bring cannabis seeds within the scope of the Misuse of Drugs Act”
and also recommends that:
“The Home Office should assess the extent to which the trade in cannabis paraphernalia might be more effectively regulated”.
Enter The ATA
Naturally, this dick-move is a very unsettling one for anyone that sells cannabis seeds, or smoking paraphernalia, such as myself. Enter the ATA — the Alternative Trade Association! They describe themselves as a “coalition of UK wholesalers, attempting to stop these misguided proposals becoming law”. They not only provide you with a weath of information about the subject and how to keep your business safe (including updates about any future legislative changes), but they also have plenty of retained legal muscle to defend any action taken against the industry.
They’re also setting up a website, Smoke-Aware.co.uk, to educate people on the risks of smoking and the problems drug use can bring. On top of that, they’re also apparently planning to launch some kind of media campaign, but I’m not too sure what that will involve.
For a start, it’s great to see people not lying back and taking this crap, so well done ATA! Let’s hope we can get everyone involved — surely there’s strength in numbers? With any luck, these ridiculous proposals will be nipped in the bud before our government start looking any more stupid.
For any internet-marketing-savvy wholesalers out there, signing up gets you a search engine friendly, high quality link directly to your site. That can only help you in the search engines. On the downside, they do require all members to link back to them, which automatically makes me somewhat wary. But for all you get in return, one link back isn’t going to hurt. 🙂
Update: It seems herbal highs are under threat as well. Current Government: “Let’s ban everything until we know it’s safe” — I can hardly see them actively allowing the sale of anything, can you?.

Prague, Jan 12 (IANS) An activist from feminist activist group Femen on Friday burst into a polling station in Prague topless when Czech President Milos Zeman was set to cast his ballot in the first round of the presidential elections.
Zeman, slated as favourite to win the election, was visibly surprised and perturbed at the incident, which forced him to leave the room for a few minutes before placing his vote in the ballot box, Efe news agency reported.
Zeman’s security service brought down the woman, who was shouting “Zeman, Putin’s slut,” a slogan she had also painted on her bare chest.
The Czech President said he was honoured to have been attacked by an activist from Femen as they also target the Pope.
The controversial head of state is known for his good relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin and has on many occasions criticised European sanctions on Moscow for the crisis in Ukraine.
Femen published the video of the protest on its website and identified the activist as a Ukrainian “sextremist” named Angelina Diash.

Using Indigenous knowledge to prevent and respond to disasters
2 p.m. ET / 1 p.m. CT
Indigenous peoples make up only 4% of the world’s population, but they inhabit 22% of the earth’s surface. Given this, it is essential to acknowledge the role of Indigenous knowledge.
Indigenous knowledge is the unique, local knowledge developed through history, experience, experiments and understanding of the environment.
“The very identity of indigenous peoples is inextricably linked with their lands, which are located predominantly at the social-ecological margins of human habitation — such as small islands, tropical forests, high-altitude zones, coasts, desert margins and the circumpolar Arctic. Here at these margins, the consequences of climate change include effects on agriculture, pastoralism, fishing, hunting and gathering and other subsistence activities, including access to water.”
– Gleb Raygorodetsky
Archipelago of Hope
The Center for Disaster Philanthropy hosted a webinar to highlight how funders can support Indigenous communities worldwide to prevent disasters and combat the effects of climate change. Panelists examined how Indigenous knowledge can help non-Indigenous communities deal with the impacts of a disaster.
The webinar also showcased examples of CDP grants that have helped communities learn from Indigenous knowledge and practices.
While aimed at funders, it may also be of interest to emergency managers, academics, disaster responders and NGO staff interested in or working on disasters and other crises.
Heidi Schultz, program manager for CDP’s Midwest Early Recovery Fund, moderated the discussion and panelists included:
- Chele Rider, Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma and Disaster State Relations Director, Tribal Relations, American Red Cross
- Patricia Velásquez, Wayuu and President and Founder, The Wayuu Taya Foundation

MAGA: Dallas Federal Reserve reports 5% wage growth
The Dallas Federal Reserve recently stated the "average individual wage growth" is currently 5 percent, about 2.1 percent higher than the commonly reported growth rate.
Democrat economists and their media fellow travelers, such as NPR and the Washington Post, argue that President Trump's tax cuts and economic expansion have failed to increase the standard of living for American workers.
The Board of the Dallas Fed asked, "Is Wage Growth Higher than We Think?" Their economists point to the U.S. unemployment rate plunging from 5.8 percent, when President Trump was elected, to the current 3.7 percent — the lowest rate in almost 50 years. Yet the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) is reporting an "average hourly earnings" growth of 2.9 percent. Trump critics argue that subtracting the 2-percent average inflation rate, workers' real wages are growing by only 0.9 percent.
The Dallas Fed's economists highlight that the "average hourly earnings" (AHE) growth is not the same as the "average wage" growth experienced by most workers, because AHE "reflects the 'earnings share' weighted average growth in wages and hours, as well as 'composition effects' arising from earnings differences between individuals entering and exiting the workforce."
The Bureau of Labor Statistics develops its earnings growth by surveying 440,000 businesses for salary and hourly employee payroll expenses over a four-month period. The BLS waits eight months and then surveys the same businesses for three months in a row. The 15-month period is then "smoothed." The BLS then divides the compensation paid over the number of hours to determine what it trumpets as the earnings trend.
According to the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities, incomes after inflation for the top 5 percent of Americans during President Obama's eight years was up about 16 percent. That compares to 4 percent growth for the median U.S. income and a negative 4 percent decline for the bottom 20 percent during the same eight-year period.
The Dallas Fed found that AHE heavily over-weighted the earnings of what Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) calls "tippy-top" earning CEOs. Eliminating the high-earner over-weighting at the same 440,000 businesses, the BLS reported that earnings growth during Obama's presidency would have been about zero.
BLS's reported earnings growth contrasts with the straightforward Census Bureau calculation of wage growth from the Current Population Survey (CPS) that simply surveys wage changes for 60,000 average wage-earning individuals each month.
The Dallas Fed, after comparing the two methodologies, stated:
CPS average individual wage growth is always higher than AHE growth. Most recently, CPS average individual wage growth was 5.0 percent — a full 2.1 percentage points greater than the BLS' AHE.

Review: Frozen (UK Cert PG)
Frozen is Disney's fifty-third- yep, fifty-third- animated feature. Princess Anna (voiced by Kristin Bell) sets off on a journey to find her estranged sister Elsa (voiced by Idina Menzel), who has the power to control ice and snow, and whose powers have trapped the kingdom of Arendelle in everlasting winter.
It's based loosely on Hans Christian Andersen's 'The Snow Queen' and, like any good fairy-tale, it's a good deal darker than it first seems- death, betrayal and isolation are all here- but it's all handled well and I wouldn't say there's anything too traumatic for the kids to face (although I did hear a few sniffles at some points). There's also a particularly nice subversion of expectations at the end when it comes to 'an act of true love'.
The voice cast is strong: Kristin Bell and Idina Menzel are excellent as Anna and Elsa, wilst Jonathan Groff is great as mountain man Kristoff who aids Anna in her journey to find Elsa (and, just as an aside, I'm glad they didn't make the reindeer talk) whilst I think the best performance is given by Josh Gad, who voices the utterly adorable snowman Olaf who not only fulfils the comedy relief role but is also surprisingly wise in places.
Some of the songs are a bit twee and a little insipid (like 'Do You Want To Build A Snowman?') but these are balanced out by some of the others, most notably the absolute belter that is 'Let It Go', sung as Elsa decides to embrace her powers. It's one of the best sequences in the film- the construction of the ice palace is a real showstopper- and Menzel's vocals are just sublime.
Before the film was an animated short called 'Get A Horse', featuring Mickey Mouse, which was an elegant blend of old-style animation and CGI.
All said, Frozen was an absolute delight. Well written, some good songs, impeccably animated and a lot of fun.

Here is a truly delightful Edwardian era antique rose gold bracelet made in rose gold with a gorgeous horseshoe set with pearls.
Made in the early 1900’s, the bracelet is made in 9ct and the curb link measures 4mm wide and the horseshoe 13.5mm wide by 14.5mm high.
Not only is it set with 11 seed pearls, but the seed pearls themselves graduate so elegantly in size.
The curb link design is such a traditional design for a bracelet, and set with the seed pearl set horseshoe really makes this a unique and very attractive bracelet that will always be admired on the wrist.
The bracelet is also made wonderful by having its original fitted velvet box with the manufactures name of “Campbell & Lumby” of Liverpool England.
This horseshoe bracelet would make a wonderful gift especially with the thought of watching the face of the recipient as they open the lid of the box to reveal this very sweet antique bracelet inside.

James E. Fitzgerald
In June 2007, I finished my undergraduate degrees at the University of Chicago in physics and mathematics. I am now a graduate student in the Physics Department at Stanford University studying theoretical neuroscience . My undergraduate research focused on computational and theoretical aspects of protein folding jointly with Professors Tobin Sosnick and Karl Freed. During my Junior and Senior years, my research was partially supported by the Arnold and Mabel Beckman Foundation.
- I have been further studying the fundamental motions of proteins by investigating the effects of geometric constraints on protein dynamics. This work has important implications for protein folding pathways and hydrogen exchange mechanisms.
- The energy functions that I have developed in previous work are currently being adapted for optimal performance in a variety of applications. I am focusing mostly on protein structure refinement, but I am also investigating the utility of these functions in the problems of protein structure prediction and protein-protein docking.
- One primary research interest has been the dynamics of proteins. My first project was to investigate fundamental local motions of proteins. Through numerous simulations we find a fundamental anticorrelation between the motions of the phi torsion angle of the ith residue and the psi angle of the (i-1)st residue. This motion is accomplished through the rocking of the rigid peptide group. This motion is independent of solvent model, force field, and is seen both in the presence and absence of long range interactions. This fundamentally local motion is robust enough to describe both equilibrium fluctuations of the backbone and basin transitions. No longer range correlations are necessary in either type of motion to retain the global structure of the peptide. A manuscript of this work is published in the journal Biochemistry.
- In addition to my work on protein dynamics, I have considered the energetic and entropic content of protein sidechains. Using the information learned in this process I have developed new energy functions for use in computational studies of proteins. These energy functions use statistical mechanical concepts to relate statistics compiled from known protein crystal structures to the energy of a protein conformation. The correct expression for this energy requires many-body interactions. However, for computational simplicity we assume that energies are pair-wise additive and depend only on the distances between pairs of atoms. This assumption is obviously incorrect, and in order to diminish the associated errors, we introduce additional conditional dependences to implicitly reproduce these many body effects. Using these considerations, several energy functions are produced which only explicitly include pair-interactions between the heavy backbone atoms and a single side-chain atom (the beta-carbon). However, even in this reduced representation these new energy functions perform better than the best known all-atom energy function based upon their ability to distinguish native from non-native structures (average performance on 306 different decoys sets). I have also built the all-atom versions of these potentials which work even better than the reduced potentials. All potentials are currently in the optimization stage in order to be used for protein structure prediction and structure refinement. This work is published in Protein Science.
- Different simulation methods for studying proteins sometimes give strikingly different results. I am studying popular force fields and solvent models to clearly dilineate these simularities and differences. In particular, I am coauthor on a manuscript (submitted to J. Phys. Chem. B.) in which these comparisons are studied in detail for the beta-amyloid peptide. We find that our implicit solvent model compares reasonably well to experimental measurement for certain physical force fields. There are significant differences between the various physical force fields. We also find that explicit solvent simulations take longer than implicit solvent simulations to reach equilibrium. Given that implicit solvent simulations are also order of magnitides faster than explicit solvent simulations, the ability of our implicit solvent model to reproduce experimental measurements is of practical interest to anyone studying protein dynamics computationally.

Marvel Studios tv shows have been really succesful, just as their movies once were. Sadly, as time has passed the public started to get tire of getting lots of content but with less quality. This year we got two movies and one tv show, ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania’ ‘Guardians of the Galaxy 3’ and ‘Secret Invasion’. For the rest of the year, we would have ‘Loki’, The Marvels’ and Echo’. But that changed now.
Now The Hollywood Reporter revealed that Marvel Studios decided to move some of their upcoming streaming projects’ release dates. ‘Loki’ season 2 starring Tom Hiddleston, Sofia Di Martino and Owen Wilson will be the only show that’ll keep its original release date. It will debut on October 6, 2023.
THE NEW RELEASE DATES
Marvel’s ‘What If…?’ season 2 will now premiere around Christmas Day. THR notes that it won’t be a holiday-themed special. Jeffrey Wright returns as the Watcher and will guide us again through Marvel’s different multiverse stories.
‘Echo’, Hawkeye’s spinoff will debut on January, 2024. The series stars Alaqua Cox as a one-time head of a criminal organization who returns to her hometown in Oklahoma to come to terms with her past. The series will be having a grittier and more grounded tone than some of the other Marvel series. It will feature appearances by Daredevil and villain The Kingpin. As previously announced, all the episodes will drop at the same time.
Next is ‘X-Men ’97’. The animated series that acts as a spiritual and tonal continuation of the classic 1990s series. The series, originally planned for a fall 2023 debut, will now premiere in early 2024. Described as retro and a love letter to the original. A season 2 is already in the works.
The WandaVision spinoff series based on Agatha Harkness got a new title. Now titled ‘Agatha: Darkhold Diaries’ starring Kathryn Hann and Joe Locke premieres Fall 2024.
Ironheart, a show focused on genius-inventor Riri Williams (Dominique Thorne) first introduced in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, was to have dropped this fall but that is now off the schedule. It finished shooting but its completion is affected by the strikes.
Daredevil: Born Again, a continuation of the Netflix series in the MCU, was expected to debut in spring 2024, paused in mid-production amid the strikes. Wonder Man, starring Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, was also paused in mid-production.
At this point it is unclear when are they dropping these three series. Let’s remember anything can change and the new release dates could also change in the futrure. Stay tuned as we will be covering the latest Marvel news here at The DisInsider.

Is there any value to starter fertilizer on soybeans?
Soybean is a crop that can remove significant amounts of nutrients per bushel of grain harvested. Because of this, soybeans can respond to starter fertilizer applications on low-testing soils, particularly phosphorus.
In many cases, corn shows a greater response to starter fertilizer than soybean. Part of the reason for that is that soils are generally warmer when soybeans are planted than when corn is planted. The typical response in early growth observed in corn is usually not observed in soybeans. However, yield response to direct soybean fertilization with phosphorus and other nutrients if needed in low-testing soils can be expected.
K-State guidelines for soybeans include taking a soil test for phosphorus (P), potassium (K), sulfur (S), zinc (Zn), and boron (B). If fertilizer is recommended by soil test results, then fertilizer should either be applied directly to the soybeans or indirectly by increasing fertilizer rates to another crop in the rotation by the amount needed for the soybeans.
The most consistent response to starter fertilizer with soybeans would be on soils very deficient in one of the nutrients listed above, or in very high-yield-potential situations where soils have low or medium fertility levels. Furthermore, starter fertilizer in soybeans can be a good way to complement nutrients that may have been removed by high-yielding crops in the rotation, such as corn and help maintain optimum soil test levels.
Banding fertilizer to the side and below the seed at planting is an efficient application method for soybeans. This method is especially useful in reduced-till or no-till soybeans because P and K have only limited mobility into the soil from surface broadcast applications.
However, with narrow row soybeans, it may not be possible to install fertilizer units for deep banding. In that situation, producers can surface-apply the fertilizer. Fertilizer should not be placed in direct seed contact with soybeans because the seed is very sensitive to salt injury.
Soybean seldom responds to nitrogen (N) in the starter fertilizer. However, some research under irrigated, high-yield environments suggests a potential benefit of small amounts of N in starter fertilizer.

Mystery of missing Lehman hotshot
THE disappearance of a top internet analyst at rival Lehman Brothers is the talk of Wall Street. What has happened to Holly Becker, Lehman's hotshot internet researcher and Wall Street glamour girl, who has disappeared from sight?
Becker and her husband, hedge-fund manager and amateur tennis star Michael Zimmerman, have reportedly gone into hiding after news leaked of an investigation by regulators over trades he made in shares she covered.
The regulators reportedly want to know if pillow talk led Zimmerman's SAC Capital to short Amazon.com shares the day before Becker downgraded the stock. Becker was called the Dragon Slayer on Wall Street because her bearish notes on high-flying internet shares sent them crashing down to earth. Wall Street's top-rated internet analyst, Becker went on maternity leave last summer and has yet to return.
Becker, 36, whose wedding filled New York's society pages in autumn 2000, issued her last research note at Lehman in late June. Throughout last summer, her ratings on internet shares remained unchanged. Then, in the autumn, Lehman quietly suspended ratings on internet shares she covered without any mention of whether her status at the firm had changed.
In mid-October, four months after she issued her last research note, Lehman's website touted Becker's top ranking on Institutional Investors' 2002 All-American Research Team. The company will not give details of her current status but a spokeswoman said she remains an employee. The firm is not under investigation.
Wall Streeters are wondering why Lehman is being so tight-lipped about Becker's status at a time when US investment banks are under intense pressure from regulators and investors to be more transparent. Other companies have been very upfront about their executives' status.
Analysts are leaving Wall Street in droves - dozens of top names have been fired or have retired since the start of the year - and most of the departures have been very public. JP Morgan this week sacked top equities trader Mino Caposella, the fourth executive to leave America's second-largest bank in recent months.
At Merrill Lynch, meanwhile, three leading analysts have departed and several others have been sacked. Merrill broker Peter Bacanovic, embroiled in the investigation of 'domestic goddess' Martha Stewart's trades of ImClone shares, was placed on leave without pay and then fired.
Lehman's silence on the Becker matter is puzzling clients, who counted on her independent appraisal of internet shares. A Harvard MBA who went to the London School of Economics and raced to fame in only five years on Wall Street, she was one of the few analysts to question the underpinnings of the internet craze.

Spend a morning exploring Harlem and enjoy a soul-stirring musical celebration.
We offer the Wednesday Gospel Tour for those who are unable to join us on Sunday. This particular version however is very close to our hearts and visitors will find this experience more musically oriented and quite moving.
Our tour will take you past some of Harlem's most famous landmarks - nostalgic reminders of Harlem's Golden Age. Explore Harlem's charming tree-lined streets and historic districts. Learn about the neighborhood’s origins as a rural Dutch community to its transformation into a summer retreat for New York's most prominent families. Hear the stories of influential African-Americans who left the South for better opportunities and flourished in the Harlem community. The Harlem Renaissance marks a social, intellectual and cultural revolution that cemented Harlem's status as the epicenter of Black culture.
After the Harlem tour, you will join us for the “Hour of Power” our mid-week service and gospel concert. Experience powerful voices singing songs of praise in the traditional beautiful acapella style. The “Hour of Power” is sure to inspire and delight you.
We had a really joyful and interesting day on The Harlem Gospel Tour. The choir were warm and friendly and involved the congregation in their songs of praise. We were given the opportunity to join the choir at the front of church for the last song, which many did, and it was great to be involved with other bisitors from around the globe. The coach tour guide Peggy was very knowledgeable and informative. A thoroughly enjoyable experience.
Did not disappoint - highlight of our trip to New York - just loved it - thank you for having us ❤❤
Very interesting tour, Anthony is a knowledgeable and fun guide!
In spite of the weather, the tour was simply excellent and the biggest point was indeed the gospel chorus! Everything was fine and to repeat in the future. Thank you
We’re international visitors who had previously visited New York and on this visit, we wanted to experience New York beyond the regular tourist attractions. The Harlem Gospel Tour gave us this opportunity with a great insight into Harlem. We couldn’t do the Sunday tour (we were keen to experience the church service) so the Wednesday tour was a great alternative. Our guide was a wealth of information. We had a great morning exploring the neighbourhood, learning about its history and enjoying the music by the ARC Gospel Choir. Thank you to all the Harlem Spirituals staff who made this an unforgettable experience for us. I’d highly recommend this tour – it’s a ‘must do’ when visiting New York City!
Our guide tour was wonderful. I would be happy may have a copy of the many interesting things she told us. Why do not you create a section on your site?
The Gospel show was very good and the guide was excellent We enjoyed it very much
Absolutely amazing tour. Loved learning all about Harlem's history especially as we were staying there. The ARC choir was truly moving and we loved joining in at the end.
Belle visite de Harlem, bonne organisation et moment émouvant lors du Gospel.
Je recommande cette formule. Nous avons pu découvrir le quartier d'Harlem dans de bonnes conditions. Notre guide était très intéressant et sympathique. Dès notre départ en bus à l'agence, il nous a expliqué l'histoire de chaque quartier que nous traversions pour atteindre Harlem. Excellente formule. Le Gospel était correct mais déception au niveau de la sono qui n'était pas de qualité. Néanmoins l'ambiance était présente. L'église superbe.
Tour molt interessant per Harlem, de mig matí que inclou concert Gospel que val molt la pena! Nosaltres vam agafar el del dimecres i ens va agradar molt. El guia Ulrich molt bo i professional. Moltes gràcies!
First of all the gospel was a great experience. I am not religious but I can appreciate how gospel music is powerful and rewarding in many ways to anyone religious or not. Some of the voices were really good. Would have loved to stay longer and sit down with them listening to their stories after. Not as a part of the tour, it could have ended there. As to the tour of Harlem it was OK. Some good stops and facts but not so much to remember after. Not interested in personal views on different topics or where guide lives and what she pays. Facts and stories from the area is more interesting. Same with food and culture, tips on what to experience and where to go for these things too. Also did not really get the pictures being sent through the bus. I was there to experience Harlem outside of the bus. Not to look at old pictures. The tour guide said she knew Luther King jr and was babysitter for their oldest kid. That would be a great starting point of some stories about him and how things were back then. However she moved on to something else. I left the bus just after the gospel as I didn’t get the feeling I would miss anything on the way back. Would rather walk around a bit myself before heading to the Bronx. All in all a nice day out though and I have no problem recommending others to go. At least for the gospel anyways.
A friend of mine recommended this tour and I was wowed with the gospel service. No preaching, no sermons, no discussion about the evils of man or being a sinner. This was a service that simply spoke to joy, love, community and the blessings that the Lord has bestowed on each of us. The singing was sublime and moving. The sound and meaning resonated and echoed within your body. I am not religious at all but this was exceptional and I wonder if this is what most churches have failed to see. A simple message of hope will attract people back to the church. I highly recommend this tour.
What a great experience, highly recommended
Our familiy really enjoyed the Harlem Tour. Our tourguide Glenn made a great job with interesting facts and sories about Harlem and the mass at the church with the beautiful Gospel music war just amazing.
It was a good tour. The guide was very knowledgeable and helpful, and the bus was comfortable and clean. I would recommend this tour to others, and I'd consider booking other tours with Harlem Spirituals.
Thank you Harlem Spirituals! You made of our stay in New York one of our best travel experiences.
