Brexit: Heath 'carefully masked' EU expansion says Salisbury
When Scotland voted against independence in 2014, that seemed to settle the issue: voters north of the border would remain with England, Wales and Northern Ireland in a United Kingdom governed from London. However, less than two years later came the Brexit referendum, and while the UK voted to leave the EU, Scots distinguished themselves and overwhelmingly voted to stay in the bloc. According to the pro-EU Scottish National Party (SNP), Scotland is therefore being unwillingly dragged out of the European club and a second independence referendum should take place.
Addressing Prime Minister Boris Johnson in Parliament last Wednesday, Leader of the SNP Ian Blackford said: “Are you a democrat or not? Do you respect the will of the Scottish people or not?
“The Scottish people did not vote for Brexit. The people of Scotland did not vote for a no deal Brexit.
“They did not vote for the Tory Party and they certainly did not vote for this Prime Minister.”
A shock poll this week suggested the SNP would wipe out the Scottish Tories in a future general election, paving the way for First Minister Nicola Sturgeon to make her bid to break up the Union with a second independence referendum.
"Brexit is not the reason why Scotland might choose to leave the United Kingdom"
Scotland is not the only country to be at risk though, as Northern Ireland might also decide to leave the Union, according to recent polls.
If a hard border is erected in Ireland, 65 percent of Northern Irish people would back a united republic.
Prime Minister Gordon Brown issued a stark warning in August, claiming that the Union is “sleepwalking into oblivion” due to “destructive nationalist ideology”, concluding that “we are, at best, only a precariously United Kingdom”.
However, there might be a solution.
The Constitution Reform Group (CRG), an all-party project convened by former leader of the House of Lords, Lord Salisbury, is currently advocating for the Act of Union Bill – a ready-made Bill which includes proposals that could stop this impending break-up.
The CRG believes that the blueprint could be used to resolve the pressing issue, by proposing a federal structure for the continuation of the Union, establishing the principle of self-determination among all four parts.
Talking exclusively to Express.co.uk, Lord Salisbury explained the importance of this Bill, stressing how Brexit was not the reason why it came about.
The former Leader of the House of Lords argued that it was the nature of the devolution bills of the late Nineties that led to today's crisis, and not the 2016 EU referendum.
He said: "It is no surprise that this has happened.
"Now, this is my personal view, but it is not the view of a number of people who sit on the Constitutional Reform Group.
"They would say that our Bill has become much more important because of the prospect of us leaving the EU.
"Scotland will want to leave. Northern Ireland will join the Irish Republic.
"Less likely in Wales, which voted Leave."
Lord Salisbury noted: "Now, I take a slightly different view. I think the danger was always there in the nature of devolution.
"Brexit accelerated a crisis which was already there but I don’t think it introduced a new question."
With devolution in 1997, Parliament, under the leadership of Tony Blair, granted powers to the Scottish Parliament, the National Assembly for Wales and the Northern Ireland Assembly.
However, even the former Prime Minister admitted he had made a huge mistake with the legislation.
In a 2015 book entitled “British Labour Leaders”, Mr Blair admitted that he did not understand at the time the importance of maintaining cultural unity between the different parts of the UK.
Interviewed by the book's editors, former Cabinet minister Charles Clarke and University of East Anglia politics lecturer Toby James, Mr Blair said: "I did feel that we made a mistake on devolution.
"We should have understood that, when you change the system of government so that more power is devolved, you need to have ways of culturally keeping England, Scotland and Wales very much in sync with each other.
"We needed to work even stronger for a sense of UK national identity.
"But I don't accept the idea that we should never have done devolution. If we had not devolved power, then there would have been a massive demand for separation – as there was back in the Sixties and Seventies."
The Act of Union Bill proposed by the Constitution Reform Group is currently awaiting its second reading.
The Bill would only come into force if approved by a referendum with a majority of votes cast in the UK as a whole at 65 percent and on a majority in each of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Former Labour MP and ex-chairman of Vote Leave Gisela Stuart is also on the steering committee of the group.

The Apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, Apple’s October 22 event has officially been confirmed today after Apple sent out invitations for the event which will almost certainly show off Apple’s new iPad line up in all of its glory, maybe with a little bit extra.
Apple’s only words are “We still have a lot to cover.” Two iPads aren’t a lot, so are we in for a surprise? Apple is almost certainly going to announce the new iPad 5 and iPad Mini 2, both of which will come in Silver, Gold and Space Gray and will likely feature TouchID fingerprint sensors. Will Apple announce the dates on which their new MacBook Pros, Mac Pro and OS X Mavericks are set to roll out to the world? Will rumours of an iTV, iWatch, iConsole, larger iPad and more be squashed or proven correct?
Stay tuned as Amzer will most certainly be keeping an eye on the event and bringing you all of the news as it happens!
The Apple iPhone 5c and iPhone 5s are set to launch in just two weeks time in India, on November 1, which is sure to cause a lot of fanfare for plenty of excited Indians. Apple today revealed their new pricing options for the India bound devices as well as the older iPhone 4s.
The iPhone 4s 8GB is set to cost Rs. 31,500. The iPhone 5c 16GB will set you back Rs. 41,900 and the 32GB model Rs. 53,500. The iPhone 5s will go for Rs. 53,500 for the 16GB model, Rs. 62,500 for the 32GB model and Rs. 71,500 for the 64GB model. The iPhone 4s will be available in both black and white, the iPhone 5c in white, pink, blue, yellow & green the iPhone 5s in Space Gray, Silver White as well as the popular new Golden White. Other markets set to get the new iPhones over the next two weeks include Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, French West Indies, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Macau, Malta, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Reunion Island, Romania, Russia, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, Albania, Armenia, Bahrain, Colombia, El Salvador, Guam, Guatemala, India, Macedonia, Malaysia, Mexico, Moldova, Montenegro, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and UAE.
Remember to cover up your new device with Amzer’s wide variety of ultra strong cases and screen protectors!
Meet the LG G Flex, LG’s curved smartphone and their answer to the new Samsung Galaxy Round. The LG G Flex, also known as the LG Z, is expected to make its debut next month as the world’s second commercial flexible smartphone.
The LG G Flex, unlike the Galaxy Round, will have a vertically curved shape making viewing angles better as well as improving screen protection. The LG G Flex is still quite a mystery, but it will apparently feature a 6-inch 1080p display and its pretty safe to assume that it will also carry a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 SoC, 2GB of RAM, 32GB of expandable storage and a 13MP rear camera in addition to the company’s new curved battery. Sadly, I feel that it will be more uncomfortable to hold and use than the Galaxy Round which is horizontally curved in order to fit the coutures of your palm.
I would be going out on a limb here when I say that the LG G Flex will be limited to South Korea, much like the Galaxy Round, for the foreseeable future, considering the scarcity of flexible displays…
Sure, there has been rumours, quick glimpses, but this has to be the clearest shots yet of the Apple iPad 5 and iPad Mini 2 in all of its glory. The guys over at CTechCN has gotten us a glimpse of both devices from the back and boy oh boy does it look pretty.
Apple is expected to officially unveil the new iPad 5 and iPad Mini 2 next week, among some pretty interesting other products, but thus far the golden hues of said devices have just been hear say. Now we seem to have proof, although it seems like saturation and hue change of the Space Gray variants. Both devices are expected to be available in Silver White, Space Gray and Golden Champagne hues, with the latter most likely selling faster than GTA V. The iPad 5 is said to feature a slimmer bezel, a sleek new body and some great other enhancements whereas the iPad Mini 2 is rumoured to pack a Retina display along with Apple’s new A7 SoC.
What are your guesses as to what Apple will unveil next week? MacBook Airs, Mac Pros, iPads, iTV and maybe even the iWatch? Drop a comment below and voice your opinion!
The HTC One Max has finally been announced, but it seems to be too little, too late for the struggling Taiwanese smartphone manufacturer. The HTC One Max had no surprises that leaks haven’t already disclosed.
The HTC One Max packs a 5.9-inch 1080p display, a quad core Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 SoC, 2GB of RAM, 16GB/ 32GB of expandable storage, 50GB of Google Drive cloud storage, a 4MP UltraPoxel camera, a 3,300mAh battery and it runs on Android 4.3 Jelly Bean with HTC’s new Sense 5.5 UI. There is no Optical Image Stabilization as rumored, neither does it feature the BeatsAudio enhancements HTC is known for. It does pack a lovely rear fingerprint sensor however.
So, essentially it is an enlarged HTC One, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, except for its hefty 217g weight as well as it’s 10.29mm thickness. It doesn’t seem to feature anything special, that would make it stand out against the likes of the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and Sony Xperia Z Ultra. So, what makes it suck so much?
The HTC One Max has a sucky camera, 4MP compared to the 13MP unit found on the Galaxy Note 3 and the 8MP one on the Xperia Z Ultra. Its processor is older, and less capable, the 1.7GHz Snapdragon 600 compared to the Snapdragon 800 found inside the Xperia Z Ultra (2.2GHz) and Galaxy Note 3 (2.3GHz). It is quite bulky and heavy at 10.29mm as opposed to the Galaxy Note 3’s 8.3mm and Xperia Z Ultra’s 6.5mm.
It has one thing going for it however, it’s 3,300mAh battery is the largest of the three, larger than both the Galaxy Note 3’s 3,200mAh and Xperia Z Ultra’s 3,000mAh units, but then again actual performance may differ quite a bit. The HTC One Max sadly doesn’t have anything special, such as the Galaxy Note 3’s S Pen & accompanying UI, or the Xperia Z Ultra’s water- and dust resistance or slim design.
If you’re asking if HTC has a winner over here, it sadly does not seem so…
According to some very trustworthy sources, Apple will launch the new iPhone 6 on October 22 alongside their new iPad and MacBook Air line up, just over a month after the new iPhone 5s went on sale.
Our sources inside Apple’s manufacturing partner, pegatron, has revealed Apple’s plans for the iPhone 6, revealing pricing, colors, release dates & countries and loads more. The iPhone 6 will be the most radical change to the iPhone since the introduction of the iPhone 4, which prompted the screen density wars.
The Apple iPhone 6 is set to feature a 4.99-inch IPS touch display with an impressive 2,272 x 1,280 pixel resolution, that means a whopping 652ppi pixel density. The front will also feature a 5MP wide angled front facing iSight camera as well as a TouchID fingerprint sensor. The display’s side bezel will be a mindblowing 1.4mm wide!
On the inside, Apple put in their upgraded A7+ System on a Chip with four 64-bit processors clocked at 1.4GHz each, it also features a whopping six PowerVR SGX544MP4 cores. The same Apple M7 motion coprocessor found inside the iPhone 5s will once again be seen inside the iPhone 6.
It will also feature 2GB of DDR5 RAM and come in either 32GB, 64GB or 128GB storage options, the 16GB model will obviously be phased out with the iPhone 5s. Other inner hardware includes WiFi Direct, Bluetooth 5.0 Lower Energy, LTE Advance and HSPA+ connectivity. The battery has also been grossly enlarged to a 3,800mAh nuclear-powered unit.
On the back, the Apple logo has become LED backlight illuminated and the dual LED flash setup from the iPhone 5s has been replaced by a single Xenon flash unit. The camera is a 16MP iSight 2 sensor that is capable of recording 4K video at 120FPS. What’s more, the iPhone 6 camera has been centered horizon tidally, no longer being on the right rear of the device.
The iPhone 6 will be available in nine amazing anodized aluminum colors. The 6.8mm thick device is set to come in Albino White, Nigerian Black, Ocean Blue, Nokia Blue, HTC Green, Sun Yellow, Pumpkin Orange, Chilli Red and Tonsil Pink. The Space Gray option has been killed as Jony Ive misplaced his copy of 50 Shades of Gray for referencing.
What makes the iPhone 6 truly different is its ability to fold in half horizontally in order to fit it inside your skinny jean pockets. It features a liquid aluminum body and a Flexible AMOLED display which is why it is so bendable. Gorilla Glass has been dropped for Amzer ShatterProof, making it stronger than any other display on the market.
The iPhone 6 will first go on sale on November 3 in Albania, China, France, India and Zimbabwe, with the 32GB base model starting at a jaw dropping $749.99, or $349.99 on a two year contract. The second rollout will be on April 1, where the US, UK, Brazil and Japan will get the smartphone. Best Buy is said to offer $200 worth of accessories with the purchase of any iPhone 6.
The iPhone 6 will also not feature a 3.5mm audio port, opting rather for Apple’s new 2mm iSound audio port. The Lightning 2.0 adaptor will also see its debut, with twice the speeds of its preseason, but half the size, that’s right the Lightning 2.0 port will be just 2.2mm wide. The Apple iPhone 6 also features BeatsAudio, much like the HTC One.
The iPhone 6 also introduces the new iSmash feature which shows all unread notification if you smash the iPhone against a wall or other solid surface. iCharge will be Apple’s new Wireless Charging feature, but will use proprietary technology instead of many of the existing wireless charging standards.
Siri is officially being renamed to iKnow, because honestly, Siri does know, everything. The iPhone 6 packs a new predictive act feature, which lets you share status updates, texts and other content with a dedicated NSA analyst to analyze and ensure that you are not placed on a terrorist watch list upon uploading your update. Apple is said to be planning a huge marketing campaign in the Middle East to show off this new feature.
If by now you have not realized that this is entirely fabricated, satirical content, then I should tell you now, this is a joke. Enjoy your iPhone or Galaxy S or whichever smartphone you use and stop worrying about what the company is planning for a device over a year away!
So, you just managed to get your hands on the Huawei Ascend P6, otherwise known as the worlds slimmest smartphone at just 6.18mm. You have a slight problem though, despite them including a case in the box, it kind of sucks and you would like something with more style, colour and elegance, you want some cool accessories, but they’re quite scarce.
I own a Huawei Ascend P6, I am proud to. It is an elegant device, usability is great and if I didn’t hate Android and its cluttered user experience and inconsistent application ecosystem, I might even have used the Ascend P6 as my main device, which it currently is not. I do use it regularly though, but I have found only one serious flaw; the lack of accessories available for the device, which is why I have highlighted three of my picks right here.
Amzer® TPU Hybrid Case – Solid White For Huawei Ascend P6
The Amzer® TPU Hybrid Case – Solid White For Huawei Ascend P6 is a pretty great TPU rubber case. It is sleek and slim, just like the Ascend P6. It has great grip and is quite the looker. You want an accessory that compliments your device, yet saves it from the occasional bump and drop. This case is great. It’s shipping right now, and it costs JUST $6.95. Have a look, I am more than certain you will be happy with the choice.
Amzer® Kristal™ Clear Screen Protector For Huawei Ascend P6
You really want some ShatterProof action for the Ascend P6, we’re on it, but while you wait, why not give the Amzer® Kristal™ Clear Screen Protector For Huawei Ascend P6 a go? This screen protector protects your screen from scratches and marks while maintaining excellent viewing angles and sacrificing almost none of the visibility. If you want an affordable offering to keep your screen safe, look no further. What’s even better than that? It costs just $6.95!
Amzer® Capacitive Touch Screen Knit Gloves – Pink
Winter is once again around the corner, at least for you guys over in the Northern Hemisphere. While I walk around in my speedo and enjoy the sun, you’re most definitely going to need some lovely gloves to keep your hands warm, but still allows you to use and abuse your smartphone and its sensitive display. Well, the Amzer® Capacitive Touch Screen Knit Gloves – Pink is the perfect choice for your Huawei Ascend P6. Use your device without sacrificing limbs to the horrid winter cold. It’s just $14.95 and quite snuggly warm!
The illustrious Nokia tablet is finally upon us, after a whole three years of rumours, the Nokia Lumia 2520 tablet has leaked, and it is nothing at all what Nokia stands for, literally. The Nokia tablet seems to lack any imagination, creative flair and the Nokia logo for one.
Thanks to the amazing EVLeaks, we have finally caught an official looking glimpse of Nokia’s try at an ‘iPad killer,’ funnily enough, it seems to lack any official Nokia branding, at least on the front. The Nokia Lumia 2520 tablet is shown above in Cyan, and sadly it doesn’t look as sexy as most of us had imagined, it is actually quite an eyesore. The Lumia 2520 is set to launch on October 22 at Nokia World 2013 in Abu Dhabi and is said to pack a 10.1-inch FHD display, a 2.3GHz quad core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 SoC, 2GB of RAM, 32GB of expandable memory, an 8MP PureView camera as well as LTE and of course it will run on the ill-fated Windows RT operating system.
It seems that the Nokia Lumia 2520 is going the way of the orignal Surface RT, especially since it seems to be everything the Surface 2 is not, meaning Microsoft will compete directly with themselves if the Nokia acquisition goes through that is…
So, Apple and Samsung have launched their latest flagships in the form of the Apple iPhone 5s and Samsung Galaxy Note 3, but how exactly do the devices differ, other than size, how strong and durable are these devices for everyday use, can they take a bump or two? Well, guess you’ll have to watch and see.
The guys over at GizmoSlip did some drop tests on both the iPhone 5s and Galaxy Note 3, and the results are quite astonishing. Both devices are dropped on their backs, sides and fronts in three separate controlled tests each and you would never guess who wins in the end. The aluminum metal iPhone 5s loses its rear glass pieces on the back drop, gets scratched on its side drop and the screen shatters on the front drop. The Galaxy Note 3 on the other hand has minimal damage to its leather rear, minor scratches from the side drop and the screen is left perfectly intact on the screen drop thanks to its raised sides. So much for the metal vs plastic (or leather) argument it seems, Samsung may have finally conquered the design wars.
But then again, a stylish case from Amzer can protect your smartphone from a lot of damage and our Amzer ShatterProof screen guards will keep that iPhone screen intact from most crazy daily damage tests. The choice is simple, choose Amzer!
It seems that all may be both very well and somewhat unwell over in Cupertino. Piper Jaffray analyst, Gene Munster, today released a report that notes that Apple’s iPhone 5s supply seems to be running extremely low, whilst the iPhone 5c supplies seem to be all in.
Yesterday, reports came in that Apple has cut their iPhone 5c production orders in half, meaning demand for the device must be extremely bad. Gene Munster contacted 60 different Apple Stores across the US which saw availability drop from 27% a few weeks ago to 6% right now. It’s not only the Gold iPhone 5s that’s scarce, other models are too, stores with at least one available iPhone 5s SKU has dropped over 50% over the last week from 90% to about 40%. But all is not lost, the shortages have shot resale values to over 32% of the purchase price, sadly the iPhone 5c resale value has gone to 11% below purchase price, and it is available pretty much everywhere.
Despite having to wait quite a while for delivery when ordering an iPhone 5s, the iPhone 5c ships right to your door within 24 hours after ordering it online, which is quite fast, but doesn’t bode well for the premium plastic iPhone 5c.

The company began serving lunch in 1969. It was originally called Taco House and was owned by James Woodson. The company’s mascot, Taco John, was a devil character. Later, he was replaced by a more artistic image. While Taco John’s mascot is still a popular part of the company’s culture, it’s a little more serious than it seems. It was first launched as a breakfast joint, then became a chain, and now serves lunch.
Taco John’s Mexican food franchise has made a bold move by partnering with a local coffee shop, Boyer’s Coffee. In addition to serving premium Arabica coffee, the brand will add breakfast items to its menu. Among the breakfast items will be a breakfast burrito and an egg and potato scramble. The company has also said the breakfast section has become one of its most popular parts of the business.
In celebration of the anniversary, Boyer’s Coffee is hosting a FREE COFFEE BASH on September 29, 2016. This celebration will feature free coffee stations, 50% off specialty beverages, and food trucks for lunch. A press conference will be held at 2 p.m. on September 29, to honor the restaurant’s 50-year history. After the festivities, a special celebration will take place for the team at Boyer’s Coffee.
The breakfast burrito, available in both small and regular size, is a delicious, filling treat. Served with two fried eggs and nacho cheese, it’s delicious and satisfying. You can also choose to order the Breakfast Combo, which features two junior breakfast burritos and a beverage. The breakfast sized potato oles feature bacon, green peppers, and fresh tomatoes. If you’re unsure about what to order, don’t miss the Breakfast Burrito. A delicious drink to accompany your food will make the day go much smoother.

REPOST and ADD ON: Figured I would post this to support the Bonnie & Delaney main post above since she was one of the singers with them in the movie 'The Vanishing Point" also posted above. Still need to find the album by the other Ike singer in the movie, Claudia Lennear and you can check out a cool blog post with famous people she knew in big pictures here: https://themotart.blogspot.com/2016/08/claudia-lennear.html
One other thing is that I added the 1977 and 1979 albums but the 1977 album is a real humdinger that I am keeping for sentimental reasons with two songs from my youth that totally stuck in my head for days on end I recall with 'We're All Alone" mainly (one of those rainy day songs) but also the opener "(You're Love Has Lifted Me) Higher" albeit a rough vinyl copy. https://gofile.io/d/B0LxWl

REPOST Request and ADD ON: Finally organized all I had downloaded from other blogs for this band so may be some new things. Great USA band and here is what discogs says and remember some of these members also were in 17 Pygmies (I should have brought in to post Africa Korps as I had no idea they were a continuation of that band except spelling is at issue): Independent band from the Los Angeles formed in the early 1980s, still active. Formed by UCLA students Mark Erskine and Bruce Licher (the latter also responsible for the graphic design), who were joined by Philip Drucker (a.k.a. Jackson Del Rey), Jeff Long and Robert Loveless. The band was originally named Africa Corps but changed its name shortly before the release of their debut album in 1982. After several line-up changes, e.g. with Drucker leaving and later rejoining, creative tensions in the band led to a split in 1989-1990. The band reformed in 2002 for a reunion tour and has remained active with a different line-up than the original one. Members:
Mark Erskine : drums, percussion, bongos, vocals
Jackson Del Rey : vocals, guitar & percussion
Thom Fuhrmann : bass, trombone, keyboards, vocals
Greg Grunke : guitar, bass, dulcimer, vocals
Bruce Licher : guitar, bass, percussion, vocals

CAROLYNE MAS - st LP 79
This was a request I had buried in a comment for a another artist I had just reposted. Here it is from the Suzanne Fellini repost by Angstytimelord: I seriously LOVE this album. I had it back when it came out, and I played it to death! I remember hearing "Love on the Phone" around the same time that I first heard "Still Sane" by Carolyne Mas. Never did find the Mas album, but I loved this one to bits!

She toured the UK with Van Morrison and throughout the United States with Mississippi John Hurt.
Alice Stuart blazed the trail for women in Rock and Roll as one of the only females in the country to write her own music, front a male band, and play lead guitar on national and international circuits during the 1970s.
Already in 1964 she recorded her first album "All The Good Times" with popular folk songs for Arhoolie Records.
In the early seventies she recorded two albums for Fantasy Records "Full Time Woman (1970) and "Believing" (1972), the latter as Alice Stuart & Snake.
After a long hiatus devoted to raising her family, Alice resumed her recording career in 1996.

The high-end clothing rental startup Rent the Runway has said it will permanently close all of its physical stores and will operate online only after laying off its entire retail staff in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic.
Rent the Runway will shutter its stores in Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Washington DC, and convert the New York City location to a permanent drop-off site, the company told CNBC on Friday.
‘This has been an evolution over the past two to three years,’ Anushka Salinas, Rent the Runway president and COO, told the outlet.
‘We always knew we wanted and will continue to have a physical presence strategy. What we know now is the physical presence strategy is about drop boxes,’ she said.
Rent the Runway’s West Coast flagship store in San Francisco is seen on opening day last year. The company is now closing all five of its physical stores
Rent the Runway co-founder and CEO Jenn Hyman (above) recently told the Wall Street Journal that she was hopeful business will bounce back after the pandemic
It comes as many retailers move to permanently close physical locations, particularly those in major cities that have suffered under months of harsh lockdowns with no end in sight.
J.C. Penney and Neiman Marcus, the anchor tenants at two of the largest malls in Manhattan, recently filed for bankruptcy and announced that they would shutter those locations.
Microsoft in late June announced plans to permanently close its 83 retail locations, and Kate Spade and Coach owner Tapestry said this week they are planning a wave of closures.
Rent the Runway, which had raised $541 million in venture capital funding, was forced to cut costs early in the pandemic, laying off all of its retail staff.
The company declined to say how many workers were laid off, but said that costs had been cut by 51 percent
However, the company’s online arm was deemed ‘essential’ because it shipped fashionable clothes to remote office workers for Zoom meetings, and warehouse employees complained about being asked to work in the pandemic.

A photo obtained by the Huffington Post shows a packed Rent the Runway warehouse break room full of staff sitting side by side without gloves or masks on March 19
Its warehouses were kept open under New Jersey’s and Texas ‘s executive orders around essential businesses, meaning staff who turned down work might not have been eligible for unemployment benefits.
Dozens of employees complained to the Huffington Post about crowded and unsanitary conditions.
‘They don’t care about us,’ one worker, Sofia, told the outlet. ‘We come from other countries, but we have rights. They have to treat us like human beings.’
The company, on its press page, touts another Huffington Post article gushing that 71 percent of its employees are non-white.
Rent The Runway told DailyMail.com the company was not operating through a loophole but had continued to keep its warehouses open in compliance with the executive orders in Texas and New Jersey.
The company said it began implementing social distancing and other measures to protect staff mid-March, in line with CDC guidelines and state and local laws.
Anushka Salinas (right), Rent the Runway president and COO, is seen attending the Benefit for Grace Outreach: Helping Women and Giving Them a Second Chance benefit in 2017
Rent the Runway works by sending designer clothing to a membership of women, who rent the garments for a limited time before sending them back to warehouses where they are cleaned and inspected by staff and sent to the next customer.
The company has encouraged its members to maintain their subscriptions, and Salinas, the COO, told CNBC that the company had not seen a steep drop-off.
‘The vast majority of our subscribers didn’t cancel their accounts,’ Salinas said. ‘They put them on hold or just kept items at home. … That tells me there is optimism.’
Rent the Runway co-founder and CEO Jenn Hyman recently told the Wall Street Journal that she was hopeful business will bounce back, and said the company would come out of the pandemic stronger than ever.
‘We repositioned the company financially and structurally to benefit coming out of the pandemic,’ Hyman said in the interview. ‘We don’t need people to go back to work. We just need people to leave their home.’

This week in the Iowa Legislature
State lawmakers spared no time jumping into floor action after a very busy funnel week. On Monday afternoon, the House passed a few noncontroversial bills on the floor. On Tuesday, the Senate took up three of the most controversial issues this session including a ban on gender-affirming care, a prohibition on transgender student bathroom usage, and the Governor’s massive government realignment bill. Then on Wednesday, the House took up the gender-affirming care ban, a bill setting age-appropriate standards for books in school libraries, and legislation banning instruction on sex or gender until after the 6th grade. Each chamber also passed several other noncontroversial items across the rotunda with the 2nd Funnel Deadline just three weeks away.
We do not expect the pace of debate to slow next week as lawmakers push their priority bills forward in the process. Below is a high-level overview of some of the more contentious items debated under the Golden Dome this week.
Gender Affirming Care Ban to the Governor
This week both the Senate and House passed SF 538 which bans gender-affirming treatment for minors. The floor managers of the legislation argued the bill intends to stop life-altering medications with limited research to be administered to minors. Democrats harshly criticized the bill saying it didn’t support Republicans’ running theme for the legislature of “parental choice,” and freedom for all Americans. The legislation passed with only Republican support in each chamber, but five House Republicans joined Democrats in opposing SF 538. The bill is now on Governor Reynolds’ desk awaiting her signature which we understand will come in short order.
Governor’s Education Flexibility Legislation Passed by Both Chambers
Governor Reynolds outlined a number of improvements to school administrative flexibility in her Condition of the State in early January. SF 391 was the culmination of those efforts and was presented as an education improvement bill removing some administrative requirements for school districts. The bill passed largely on party lines in each chamber with Democrats arguing that some of the provisions would ill affect Iowa students, especially the reduced requirements for teacher librarians and world language standards. The House amended the legislation slightly so the Senate will have to give final approval before it goes to the Governor.
Senate Approved Massive Government Reorganization Bill
This week the Senate passed the Governor’s state reorganization bill on a 34-15 vote, with Democrat Senator Tony Bisignano joining Republicans in advancing the 1,700-page document. Democrats offered a number of amendments, but all were voted down on party lines. Senator Bisignano voted for the legislation stating he wanted to be part of the conversation as he was told changes would be coming to the bill in the House. The AS team sent out the Legislative Services Agency’s analysis of the bill along with the Governor’s office’s handouts this week. Please reach out with questions or concerns as the House considers changes to the massive piece of legislation.
House Passed Age-Appropriate Standards for Books in Schools
On Wednesday the House passed HF 597 which requires Iowa’s educational standards, programs, and all materials in school libraries to be age-appropriate. The bill defines what age-appropriate is largely concerning sexually explicit materials. Democrats argued the definitions in the bill could lead to the banning of famous classical literature and even the Bible. Republicans disagreed and advanced the bill on partisan lines.
Senate Sent Prohibition on Transgender Student Bathroom Usage to the House
The Senate also approved SF 482, a bill requiring K-12 schools to designate multi-occupant restrooms and changing rooms as being for one sex and defining sex as a child’s biological sex, this week. Senator Westrich argued the bill is about protecting children in school bathrooms. Senator Quirmbach countered arguing that local school districts are better suited to making these decisions. The bill passed on party lines but has yet to be brought to the House floor for consideration.
Senate Amended Bill to Limit the State Auditor’s Powers
With a last-minute amendment on the floor, Senate Republicans added language to SF 478 which Senate Democrats argued would limit the ability of the auditor to conduct audits, lead to additional waste and fraud, and is intended to restrict the power of the only statewide elected Democrat, State Auditor Rob Sand. Senator Bousselot argued that the bill is an important step in protecting the privacy of Iowans and offered an amendment to expand the material protected under the bill. The bill passed along party lines and must go through the House committee process before the second funnel deadline.
The first week following the initial funnel deadline did not disappoint with the extremely high volume of floor debate. We expect this same volume next week with a little committee work, primarily in Ways and Means and Appropriations, sprinkled between debate and caucus sessions. Some subcommittees are being scheduled for next week, but we really expect those to increase again the week of March 20th. To stay up to date on scheduled committees and subcommittees and their virtual access information, follow this link.

3. More Jain temples in Rajasthan
Not only in Jaisalmer, if you want to visit Jain temples in Rajasthan, you will find countless temples all over this royal state of Rajasthan.
They are even more beautiful, even more spectacular than the ones found in Jaisalmer.
Let’s see which are the major Jain temples that you can see in other cities of Rajasthan:
3.1 Ranakpur Jain Temples, Pali
Ranakpur Jain Temple
Among the most visually spectacular Jain temples in Rajasthan is Ranakpur Temple. This temple was built back in the 15th century, and is named after Rana Kumbha, the illustrious Rajput king of Mewad.
A wealthy trader once had a dream in which he was directed to build a temple. Following this divine dream, he started to construct this temple, and today it is not only a major tourist attraction of Rajasthan but among the great archaeological treasures that ancient kings of Rajasthan left behind as heritage monuments.
The temple is made of marble stone, and its finely detailed carvings and innumerable sculptures show the finesse of Rajasthani craftsmen and artisans.
The main deity is Adinatha, the first tirthankara of Jain religion. It’s a huge temple, and you will find many other temples in this complex besides the main temple.
Everything from the mandapa (compound), shikhara (tall spire), murti (shrines), domes, to cupolas, windows, prayer halls, are carved with highly detailed carvings.
The 1444 pillars, though, are a stunning visual treat, as you will find them everywhere, and with the most spectacular sculptures carved on them, and intricately designed patterns. The pillars are so precisely carved, that no two pillars have the same carvings and designs.
Ranakpur Jain Temple is closer to Udaipur, and you can go on a day trip from Udaipur to visit them together with Kumbhalgarh Fort.
3.2 Dilwara Temples, Mount Abu
Dilwara Jain Temple
Being close to Mount Abu, Dilwara Temples are a hot favourite tourist destination for tourists traveling to this one and only hill station of Rajasthan.
Dilwara Temples were built between the 11th & 13th centuries and are the most magnificent of all the Jain temples found in the world, and certainly in Rajasthan.
There are five temples in this temple complex and they are devoted to the Jain tirthankaras like Adinath, Parsvanath, Rishabhdev, Neminath, and Mahaveer Swami.
Their construction is the most amazing you will see in any marble temple, and the finesse with which the sculptures are carved, and the geometrical patterns with which the pillars are constructed, will leave you wonderstruck at the architectural superiority of temple architects of those times.
Intricate carvings are found everywhere in this temple, and the details are so fine and so delicately carved out of marble stone, that it will arrest you with its elegance.
Walk in the corridors of this temple, and simply admire the carved pillars, ceilings, sculptures and in the temple halls.
Even the gates are beautiful, and the torana between the pillars are carved with precision and delicate artistic details.
3.3 Shri Mahaveer Ji temple, Karauli
Shri Mahaveer Ji Temple
Shri Mahaveer Ji temple is among the most visited, and the most sacred Jain pilgrimage sites in Rajasthan. It’s constructed near a river in Karauli district in Rajasthan.
The idol of Lord Mahaveer is said to have been found during an excavation, and is said to have miraculous properties, and fulfils the wishes of a million devotees, who come here every year to have their prayers answered.
The shikharas, or pinnacles of this temple are very attractive, and in the exterior walls, there are scenes depicting chapters from Jain mythology etched and carved out of stone.
In the garbha griha, or the main chamber where the chief idol is to be found, you will find the beautiful carved out sculpture of Bhagwan Mahaveer in Padmasana i.e. sitting posture.
There are other idols of Jain tirthankaras, besides the main idol, and all are as beautiful as that of the chief idol.
There are paintings and carvings on the walls, and guest houses all around the temple for devotees to stay.
3.4 Tijara Jain Temple, Alwar
Tijara Jain Temple
Alwar is a major tourist destination of Rajasthan, and close to Alwar, is the spectacular Tijara Jain Temple. It is a major pilgrimage centre for Jain devotees, and the temple is said to be a place of miracles.
Chandraprabha was the eighth tirthankara of Jain religion, and this temple is dedicated to him.
In the temple, the idol of Chandraprabha is seated in padmasana pose, and the while marble idol is said to be so miraculous, that a mere darshan of him can drive off evil spirits that may be haunting a person.
There’s a black idol too, and it’s also as beautiful as the white one.
The superb architecture of this temple can be seen in its outer structure, and the prominent shikhara or temple spire can be seen against the blue sky, superbly carved out of stone.
All round this temple, there are innumerable pillars and in the interior, there is a prayer hall with beautiful paintings adorning the walls.
You will see scenes from Jain mythology portrayed in these paintings.
There are other temples too, besides the main temple, and they too are devoted to Jain tirthankaras.
3.5 Mahavirswami Swetamber Jain Temple, Osian
Mahavirswami Swetamber Jain Temple
Osian is a small village near Jodhpur, and it’s famous for its sand dunes and remarkable temples.
The Jain temple found here in Osian is dedicated to Bhagwan Mahaveer, and it’s called Mahavirswami Swetambar Jain Temple.
This temple is the oldest surviving Jain temples in India, and was built in 783 AD.
Even though it’s very old, the carvings you will see in the mandapa, prayer halls, ceilings and on the walls are far superior in their designs and sculptures.
There is the main idol of Mahaveer, and also those of yaksha and yakshis (male and female celestial beings), and other tirthankaras.
The temple is a architectural marvel in itself, and among the most interesting tourist sites in Rajasthan.

Derbyshire PC, 40, used his position to ‘forge’ sexual relationships with 12 vulnerable women who were ‘victims, witnesses or suspects’ in domestic abuse cases while colleague, 46, ‘had sex with one of them’, court hears
- Two police officers are accused of sexual relationships with vulnerable women
- Daniel Nash, 40, from Derbyshire is alleged to have ‘pursued’ the 12 women
- Colleague Matthew Longmate, 46, faces one misconduct charge in court
A former police officer used his position to ‘forge’ sexual relationships with a dozen vulnerable women, a court has heard.
Daniel Nash, 40, faces 13 charges of misconduct in a public office while his former Derbyshire colleague PC Matthew Longmate, 46, faces one misconduct charge.
Nash allegedly ‘initiated and pursued’ sexual relationships with 12 women between January 2015 and December 2020.
Nash and PC Longmate are both accused of ‘engaging in sexual acts’ with the same woman on 4 October 2015.
Nash gave no indication of plea while PC Longmate indicated through his lawyer he would be entering a not guilty plea to the one misconduct charge he faces.
Nash and PC Longmate, both of Chesterfield, Derbyshire, appeared at Westminster Magistrates’ Court wearing dark suits.
Former PC Daniel Nash, 40, pictured arriving at court, faces 13 charges of misconduct in a public office
The first charge, jointly faced by both officers, reads: ‘Between 3 October 2015 and 5 October 2015 at Chesterfield while acting as a public officer, namely a police officer, wilfully and without reasonable excuse or justification misconducted yourself in a way which amounted to an abuse of the public’s trust in the office holder by engaging in sexual acts.
The rest of the charges, faced only by Nash, read: ‘While acting as a public officer, namely a police officer, wilfully and without reasonable excuse or justification misconducted yourself in a way which amounted to an abuse of the public’s trust in the office holder by initiating and pursuing a relationship.’
Prosecutor Jocelyn Ledward said: ‘The allegation against Mr Nash is that he used his position as a police officer to forge sexual relationships with a number of female members of the public or at least to seek to do so.
‘These were all women who he would have had only encountered as a result of his position as a police officer and his duties therein.
‘Many of the complainants would appear to have been either vulnerable generally or at a particular time in their lives, often as victims, witnesses, particularly in relation to domestic violence matters, or… suspects.
Former PC Matthew Longmate, 46, faces one misconduct charge at Westminster Magistrates Court
‘The prosecution case is effectively he had been pursuing these relationships.
‘They range from effectively trying to kiss…through to conducting sexual relationships that went on sometimes for a number of years.’
The prosecutor explained that the joint misconduct charge alleges the two officers engaged in sexual acts with a drunken woman after she was kicked out of a nightclub on 4 October 2015.
District Judge Michael Snow granted the defendants bail ahead of a plea and trial preparation hearing on 18 October at Southwark Crown Court.
He said: ‘Between now and then…you are prohibited from having any contact of any sort with each other.
‘Similarly, you are prohibited from contacting directly or indirectly each of the complaints named in the charge sheet.’

The Battle Over Define Chemistry and How to Win It
The Key to Successful Define Chemistry
Scientists have developed tests that may identify molecules likelyto be carcinogenic. A cell could possibly be considered an extremely intricate liposome. In the existence of OH, it functions as an acid.
A http://namdinhgakuin.com/2019/10/02/fruit-definition-biology-features/ nanoparticle is a tiny, ultra-small particle that could be located in a broad range of products. Titration is known as volumetric analysis as it relies on volume measurements to figure out the number of a chemical. Amorphous polymers are normally transparent.
The chemical formula tells us which elements comprise the chemical together with how they’re bonded together. There are two sorts of mixtures. http://ranapatil.in/2019/10/01/the-secret-to-invitation-to-discrete-mathematics/ Many synthetic substances have novel properties which make them especially helpful.
Be aware that the solvent is the substance that exists in the best amount. Most industrial filtration processes involve using pressure or vacuum, depending upon the kind of filter used, to raise the rate of filtration and also to lower the size of the equipment required. Our very first example involves materials we can see in a selection of linen solutions.

In a bit of news that's probably more surprising than it ought to be, the National Football League has chosen not to fine Minnesota Vikings' safety Harrison Smith for a hit he put on Pittsburgh Steelers' tight end Heath Miller in last Sunday's game at Wembley Stadium.
The hit came in the third quarter, when Miller caught a pass from Ben Roethlisberger. Both players lowered their helmets on the play. . .and, honestly, I'm not sure what else Smith was expected to do. . .and the referees flagged Smith for a 15-yard personal foul penalty. The league apparently didn't see any issue with the hit, and Smith did not get the expected FedEx envelope in his locker during the Vikings' bye week.
Smith explained what was going through his head on the play.
Smith said after the game he hit Miller high in part because he knew the ninth-year veteran was coming off a knee injury and didn't want to go low.
"I try to keep my head out of it," Smith said. "I didn't launch, and I don't really know what else to do. There was a play later where I hit him lower, and I didn't want to do it, but I had to. That might have made him mad.
So, it's obviously good news for Smith that he wasn't fined. Again, it was a situation where both players lowered their helmets, so I'm not sure if there even should have been a penalty involved. But, Harrison Smith's wallet is not going to be getting any lighter as a result.

A comparative analysis of the performance of urban public transport systems in Europe
AbstractRegulatory reform in EU transport policy has forced urban public transport authorities to operate increasingly under a market regime. The EU policy favours in particular a system of limited competition through the granting of concessions to public transport operators. This paper seeks to identify the success conditions for local public transport systems in a sample of 22 European cities. On the basis of extensive field research a systematic performance table of urban public transport systems in these cities is created with the aim to investigate the impact of four classes of critical success factors on the performance of these systems. In the empirical part both a qualitative interpretative analysis and a recently developed tool from artificial intelligente, viz. rough set analysis, is deployed in order to derive policy relevant conclusions.

Your dog’s gut health isn’t just about what they eat or how often they get treats; it’s about understanding a complex and really fascinating part of their wellbeing. The dog gut-brain axis may sound like it’s straight out of a science fiction novel, but it’s very real, and your dog’s gut health is super important to their overall mental health.
Happy Gut, Happy Mind?
In humans, we’ve known for a while that a happy gut means a happy mind. Guess what? The same applies to dogs. The gut-brain axis is this amazing communication network that links your dog’s digestive system with their brain. It’s like a two-way street, with traffic (messages and signals) flowing back and forth. This connection plays a crucial role in not just physical health, but also in your dog’s mood and behavior.
So, why is paying attention to your dog’s gut health important? Well, if your dog’s gut is out of whack, it can impact more than their digestion; it could also influence their mental health. It’s true; the key to a happier, more balanced pup might just lie in their belly. Let’s embark on this journey to uncover the secrets of gut health and its profound impact on our dogs’ mental well-being.
The Science Behind the Gut-Brain Connection Axis In Dogs
We know that the gut-brain axis might sound like a concept from a high-tech laboratory, but it’s actually a fundamental part of our dogs’ biology. This connection is a two-way communication network that involves the nervous system, gut microbiota, and their brain. Think of it like an old-school busy telephone line, where messages about mood, health, and even stress are constantly being exchanged back and forth between your dog’s gut and brain.
Dog Gut Microbiome And Dog Mental Health: How Do They Work Together?
This axis works through a ton of really cool and unique channels. It’s also a ton of science, so we’ll try to break it down for you.
There’s the enteric nervous system (ENS), which is often called the ‘second brain’, and is packed with hundreds of millions of neurons that line your dog’s gastrointestinal tract. The ENS communicates with the brain primarily through the vagus nerve.
Then there’s the sympathetic nervous system and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, which handle the body’s response to stress, influencing gut motility and the microbiota. Even the immune system joins in, with gut microbes affecting immune cells that modify the activity of sensory neurons in the ENS.
We know. It’s a lot. But it’s also important to know that this is heavily researched information that makes a big difference in your dog’s mental and overall health.
Scientific Studies on the Gut-Brain Axis in Dogs
One study on the gut-brain axis in dogs highlighted the role of a healthy gut microbiome in influencing behavior, allergies, obesity, and other health aspects. The presence of beneficial bacteria supported by prebiotics, probiotics, fiber, and digestive enzymes is crucial for maintaining this balance.
Additionally, a review in the field of neurodegenerative diseases showed the molecular pathways that are involved in the gut-brain axis. It discussed how intestinal microbiota and bacterial metabolites like Short-Chained Fatty Acids (SCFAs), Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), and serotonin precursors are neuroactive and affect both the enteric and central nervous systems. Neurodegenerative diseases are definitely affected by healthy (or unhealthy) gut conditions.
Research has also shown that up to 70% of behavioral disorders in dogs can be linked to anxiety. The microbiota-gut-brain axis plays a significant role in this, as gut bacteria have been found to influence conditions such as anxiety through various neural, immune, and endocrine pathways. They also found that probiotics may help manage anxiety and mood disorders in dogs, which is directly correlated with your dog’s gut health.
We know it’s a lot to process, but understanding the gut-brain axis in dogs isn’t just a scientific curiosity; it’s really a window into their health and happiness. When we understand how this complex system works, we can better care for our dog’s gut, mental, and overall health and vitality.
The Complex Ecosystem of Your Dog’s Gut
The canine microbiome, essentially the population of microorganisms in your dog’s gut, is a complex and vital aspect of their overall health. It’s not just a collection of bacteria, but a diverse community that plays a crucial role in digestion, immunity, and even their mental well-being. It’s why we focus on dog health from the inside out.
Microbes at Work: Health Guardians
In the canine gut, different microbes have specific functions. Some help break down food, others synthesize vitamins, and others protect against harmful pathogens. This microbial community is a community of warriors that is crucial for optimal nutrient absorption and a robust immune system, so your dog stays healthy.
The Dog Microbiome’s Influence on Behavior and Mood
Research has linked variations in gut bacteria to changes in stress-related behaviors in dogs. It’s clear that the microbiome’s state can influence a dog’s demeanor and reactions.
A significant amount of serotonin, a key neurotransmitter associated with mood regulation, is produced in the gut. This connection highlights how gut health can be a critical factor in a dog’s emotional state. The link between serotonin production in the gut and behavioral expressions in dogs is a subject of ongoing research, emphasizing the gut’s role beyond digestion. In essence, healthy guts produce necessary levels of serotonin.
Studies have also found that supplementing a dog’s diet with probiotics can lead to improvements in behaviors associated with anxiety and stress. This supports the idea that modifying the gut microbiome with beneficial bacteria can positively affect a dog’s mood and behavior.
Your dog’s gut microbiome is a key player in not just physical health, but also in their mental and emotional well-being. That’s why we focus so much on products that improve gut health in dogs!
Feeding the Mind Through Good Dog Gut Health
When we think about what we feed our dogs, it’s usually about their physical health – shiny coats, energy levels, and weight management. But what if the food your dog eats also plays a pivotal role in their mental well-being? This is where the fascinating relationship between diet, gut health, and mental health comes into play.
Diet and Dog Mental Health: What Research Says
The composition of your dog’s diet can significantly influence the makeup of their gut microbiome. A diet rich in diverse, high-quality ingredients promotes a balanced microbiome, which is linked to better mental health.
Studies have shown that dietary changes can lead to noticeable shifts in behavior. For instance, diets deficient in certain nutrients can exacerbate stress-related behaviors or even lead to cognitive decline in aging dogs. Recent research highlights the positive effects of probiotics on dog behavior. Dogs receiving dietary probiotics showed improvements in behaviors associated with stress and anxiety. This underlines the direct impact of diet on the gut-brain axis and, consequently, on mental health.
The takeaway here is important. You can feed your dog the best food on the planet, but if they’re not absorbing the nutrition from it as they should, you’re wasting money. The right diet is not just about keeping your dog physically fit; it’s also about nourishing their mind. A well-balanced diet needs to be one in which the nutrients can be optimally absorbed, or there may be physical and mental health issues.
Signs Of Issues In A Dog’s Gut Health
Just like us, dogs can suffer from various digestive health issues, and these problems can show up in several ways. Understanding how to recognize these signs is key to addressing them early and maintaining not only their physical health but also their mental well-being.
Common Signs Of Poor Dog Gut Health
There are many ways you can tell if your dog’s gut health isn’t optimal, and if it’s not optimal, neither is their nutrient absorption. Some of the most common include:
- Changes in bowel movements: Look out for changes in the frequency, consistency, or color of your dog’s stool. Diarrhea, vomiting, or constipation can be indicators of an upset digestive system.
- Changes in appetite: A sudden increase or decrease in appetite can be a telltale sign of gut health issues.
- Weight changes: Unexplained weight loss or gain can sometimes be linked to digestive problems.
Behavioral Signs Your Dog’s Gut Health May Be Compromised
While several physical symptoms may indicate gut health issues with your dog, several behavioral signs may also show you that.
- Mood Swings and Behavior Changes: Dogs with gut health issues might exhibit moodiness, increased aggression, or anxiety.
- Lethargy or Decreased Activity Levels: A dog experiencing digestive discomfort may become less active or show signs of fatigue.
- Physical Discomfort Signals: Signs like excessive licking, particularly around the abdominal area, or visible discomfort when eating or after meals can indicate digestive issues.
Understanding and responding to these signs can improve your dog’s gut health and positively impact their overall demeanor and quality of life. Remember, a healthy gut often means a happy dog, so keeping an eye on these signs is crucial.
Tail-wagging Tips for Boosting Your Dog’s Gut Health
When we bring furry family members into our hearts, we’re not just telling them that we love them; we’re silently promising to take care of their every need, inside and out. That’s why we created Bernie’s Perfect Poop in the first place. We wanted to take care of our own dogs and give them a heartfelt hug for their gut health. We chose ingredients that speak directly to their well-being–in their guts and their brains.
The Joy of Fiber
Fiber isn’t just about keeping things regular; it’s about creating the perfect environment for your dog’s gut to thrive and feed that brain gut bacteria. Think of Miscanthus grass, pumpkin, and flaxseed as the nurturing ground where your dog’s digestive health can bloom. When your dog’s gut health is in shape, so will their canine gut microbiome, and that goes a long way in helping your dog’s gut communicate with their brain in a healthy way.
Prebiotics: The Unseen Caretakers
The prebiotics in Bernie’s Perfect Poop are the unsung heroes, quietly nourishing the good bacteria that watch over your dog’s digestive realm. Inulin is a natural component found in many plants, and it feeds the probiotics that help nourish brain gut bacteria that are so important. And when those good brain gut bacteria are happy, there’ll be more happy tail wags to go around!
Probiotics: Trusted Gut Companions
We all need friends, right? It’s a big part of why we get dogs in the first place! Your dog’s digestive system also needs them! Bacillus Subtilis and Bacillus Coagulans are the kind of friends that bring balance and harmony to your dog’s unhealthy gut. They’re the reassuring pat on the back that says, “Don’t worry, we’ve got this,” and they support a resilient immune system and digestion that runs as smoothly as a game of fetch in the park. Most importantly, they help allow the best nutrition absorption your dog can have, and that’s key for overall health.
Enzymes: The Magic Behind Every Bite
Speaking of nutrition absorption, the enzymes in Bernie’s Perfect Poop might seem like a bit of magic—and that’s because they kind of are. They transform every bite into smaller, absorbable pieces, ensuring your dog’s meal becomes the energy they need to leap, play, and cuddle. These enzymes also ensure that every nutrient is a stepping stone to their vitality and happiness.
Adding Bernie’s Perfect Poop to your dog’s diet is like giving them a boost for their health with every meal. It’s understanding that what goes into their bowl is as important as the love we shower them with every day because you’re taking the best care of them from the inside out.
Because, in the end, a healthy dog is a happy dog—and that’s what we want for our own dogs–and for yours!

No arrest made without warrant: Kamal
Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan today reiterated that not a single arrest has been made without court warrant as police have only arrested the people who are accused in specific cases.
“BNP brought allegations that police are arresting its leaders and activists without issuing warrant for them. But police are only taking actions against those who are accused in specific cases, he told newsmen following a programme at Bangabandhu International Conference Centre (BICC) in the city.
The minister inaugurated the National Plan of Action (NPA) for Prevention of Human Trafficking 2018-2022 as the chief guest. The USAID organised the event.
He said it is a political strategy of BNP that they made the allegation of mass arrest against their leaders and activists which is only propaganda nothing else.
Law enforcement agencies are currently working under the Election Commission. They are arresting or going into actions as per the directives from the EC, Kamal said, adding, “If there is an arrest warrant against a nomination seeker or any person, the law enforcement agencies have no option but to arrest them.”
Replying to a query about spreading rumour in social media, he said the law enforcing agencies are working on it and stern action will be taken against the people who will be found involved in circulating wrong information on social networking platform.
