“Arte sul territorio – Kunst und Territorium”, curated by L. Ragaglia, Quartiere Don Bosco, Bolzano, 2003
The Piccolo Museion is a cubical pavilion in concrete and glass located in the area of the playground of the Don Bosco neighborhood in Bolzano. The structure is used to display, in a three-month cycle, one work from the collection of the Museion – the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art of Bolzano. It is not possible to enter the structure, but just to observe the work from the outside. Thanks to a sensor, the internal lighting turns on whenever someone approaches the pavilion.
The work is the result of thinking about the role of dialogue artistic interventions in public space are expected to establish with the surrounding urban and social context. For the artist, in fact, the encounter with the city represents an opportunity to fill his practice with an ethical value. Approaching an audience perhaps extraneous to the art system, he feels it is necessary to come down from the “pedestal” of his status as a creator, and to generate a work that can be the pivot point and the raison d’être of his connection with that audience, the beneficiaries of the work but also, indirectly, its clients.
To respond to the lack of interest in art that seemed to be widespread among the inhabitants of the Don Bosco neighborhood, the artist has proposed a platform where art, “subtracted” from the museum, attempt to construct an unprecedented relationship with the city: positioning an “annex” of the museum in an outlying part of the city, a process of decentralization of the art system is triggered that generates new, positive tensions between the center and the outskirts of the urban structure, the art system audience and citizens, the museum and the reality of the life of the city. The Piccolo Museion has functioned basically as a picklock for an often complicated procedure, that of making the approach to art more “confidential”, stimulating the development of an awareness of the gaze: anyone who passes the pavilion inevitably finds himself, in fact, playing the role of the spectator. The work is therefore presented as a cultural service for the local residents: the pavilion becomes an everyday object for the people of the neighborhood and “autogenerates” encounters: with other inhabitants, with the art public, and with art itself.
“Far from any form of populist demagogy – the artist explains – I call the process that leads to the completion of my projects ‘Macchiavellian’. […] In fact, on the one hand the work fits in and puts down roots in the social and geographical territory, while on the other it addresses the specific system of art, exploring its languages. For me, these two processes are inseparable” [Stefano Boeri, Alberto Garutti, Hans Ulrich Obrist, in Tre tentativi per un catalogo ragionato dell’opera di Alberto Garutti, Kaleidoscope Press, Milano, 2010, p. 13].
Since the Piccolo Museion is not based on any architectural-formal and structural specificity, the possibility of replication is intrinsic in its conception as an instrument of a “strategy”, namely that of inserting art in everyday life, by effecting a physical and cultural shift of the places set aside for its enjoyment.


Maryland's elections administrator expects voter turnout for today's primary election to be around 25%.
Linda Lamone told WBAL News that as of 4:30 this afternoon Allegany County had the highest turnout in the state of around 16%.
"There really isn't a top of the ticket race that is attracting the voters i.e. the Democratic candidate for president, and that what's getting people out in Maryland, when there is a contested race for president," Lamone told Maryland's News Now.
President Obama is running unopposed in today's primary.
Democratic voters outnumber Republicans in Maryland by a more than 2-1 margin.
According to the Maryland State Board of Elections there are 930,155 registered Republican voters in Maryland. There are nearly 2-million Democratic voters.
Baltimore County elections chief Katie Brown told WBAL News that some polls had fewer than 2 dozen show up in the first hour or so.
"You won't wait in line, " Brown said.
At Franklin Middle School in Reisterstown, there were only a handful of voters casting ballots at around 10:30 this morning.
Dan Yellett of Reisterstown told WBAL News that it took him just five minutes to get in and out of his polling place.
" A lot of people don't vote in the primary," Yellet said.
Yellett, a Republican, said he voted for Mitt Romney, calling him the most qualified.
Maryland resident Virginia Olson says she voted for Mitt Romney because he appears the most capable of defeating President Obama in November. She also says "it's time to settle" the GOP nomination. Olson cast her ballot in Arnold.
Polls are open until 8 p.m.
CBS News exit polls show the economy was the top issue on the minds of voters who cast ballots today in Maryland, Wisconsin and the District of Columbia.
The economy has been the top issue in all of the presidential contests to date.
Smoke Shuts Down Voting In Largo
State election board officials say primary election voting has resumed at Largo High School in Prince George's County after smoke briefly shut down the building.
Officials said voting had to be put on hold for about 30 minutes Tuesday afternoon after smoke was discovered.
Election management director Donna Duncan says it unclear what caused the smoke, but that the building has been reopened and voters continue to cast ballots.
Who's On The Ballot?
President Obama is running unopposed for the Democratic nomination.
Eight Republican candidates are on the presidential ballot here including Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum, Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul.
Two candidates who have since dropped out of the race, Jon Huntsman and Rick Perry, are also on the ballot.
Fred Karger and Buddy Roemer are also the Republican presidential ballot.
Maryland has 37 convention delegates at stake.
Because no candidate has clinched the nomination yet, several candidates have campaigned here in Maryland.
Romney appeared in Arbutus two weeks ago. Paul campaigned at the University of Maryland College Park last week. Gingrich has made two campaign stops to Maryland in the last week. He campaigned in Frederick on Monday. he had appeared in Annapolis and Salisbury last week.
Santorum did not campaign here in Maryland, choosing to spend much of the last week campaigning in Wisconsin which also holds a primary today along with the District of Columbia.

Besides president, there are Democratic and Republican contests for U.S. Senator.
Eight candidates are challenging incumbent Democrat Ben Cardin who is running for a second term. Ten Republicans are seeking the G.O.P. nomination.

There is also a contested primary in both parties in the 6th Congressional District which includes parts of Carroll and Frederick Counties. That seat is now held by Republican Roscoe Bartlett. The boundaries of that district were changed last year to include part of Montgomery County. Political analysts say those boundaries improve the chances of a Democrat winning the general election.

In PSNs, sometimes it is not possible to distinguish and manipulate different kinds of network flows. For example, we may want to give priority to some flows while limiting bandwidth of other flows or even perform packet classification. To solve such problems, we have a traffic control layer in ns-3 which intercepts the packets flowing between the L2 Net devices and any IP protocol. It uses several qdiscs like pfifo, HBT, RED, CoDel etc., in order to process these packets and perform scheduling or shaping. Currently the ns-3 traffic layer only contains traffic scheduling qdisc models (AQMs) and lacks realistic traffic shaping algorithms. This project aims to introduce the TBF and HHF algorithms into the ns-3 traffic control layer. TBF is a classless traffic shaper, that is used to control the flow rate or bandwidth of the throughput. HHF is a size-based qdisc that attempts to differentiate small and heavy flows. The goal is to catch the heavy flows and move them to a separate queue with less priority so that bulk traffic does not affect the latency of critical traffic.

GARDEN GROVE — Jalen Hill and Onyeka Okongwu, two of the top-ranked boys basketball players in their class in the U.S., are representing the Inland area this weekend at the annual adidas Global Nations camp.
The four-day event at the Next Level Sports Complex, brings together top ranked high school players from the U.S. and beyond that make up four domestic and five foreign teams that compete through Sunday night. The camp culminates with third-place and championship games Monday at Cerritos College in Norwalk beginning at 4 p.m. and televised by ESPN.
Hill, 16, is a 6-foot-10 forward at Corona Centennial where he will begin his fourth year on the varsity of the perennially strong Huskies’ program. Hill is ranked as the No. 44 player in the 2017 class by ESPN and has committed to play collegiately at UCLA. This is his second year at adidas Nations.
Okongwu, 15, is 6-10 heading into his sophomore year at Chino Hills. He played the post as the Huskies, the most exciting team on the hardwood last winter, put together a season for the ages, going undefeated, winning the CIF State Open Division championship and finishing the season as the No. 1 team in the country. Okongwu is the No. 5 ranked player in the 2019 class by ESPN.
Both of these young, big and talented players have had whirlwind summers, playing for their high schools, and on the same Compton Magic 17U Elite grassroots travel team during the adidas Gauntlet national circuit. And now at Nations.
Hill, who also took a trip to Italy with Team USA through adidas Eurocamp, estimates he has played “50-60” games since the end of the high school season.
“Crazy,” he said. “It felt like one month I wasn’t even there at home for more than a week. I was constantly traveling, constantly moving. It takes a toll on your body but that’s what I’m going to get used to whenever I go to the league.”
Hill said he played fewer games this spring/summer than he did last year when he also played for a U.S. team in an international competition, with Compton Magic, and closed his summer at Nations.
So, frequent ice baths?
“They help a lot,” Hill said.
Okongwu said his post-high school season schedule has been packed with “probably more than 100” games.
“It’s really fun and exciting and I love doing it,” he said. “It helps pass the time and helps me stay out of trouble, too.”
Hill and Okongwu are the latest Inland representatives at Nations. Last year, Ike Anigbogu (Centennial) and Lonzo Ball (Chino Hills) played for the team that won the championship. Sedrick Barefield (Centennial in 2013) and Justin Simon (Temecula Valley in 2014) also made it to the Monday games.
Two years ago, Okongwu’s older brother, Nnamdi Okongwu, a star center at Chino Hills, died after a skateboard accident before his senior year.
Nnamdi is gone but Onyeka said he is never too far.
“Before every game I think about him,” Onyeka said. “During the game, after the game, I think about him all the time. He’s always on my head. He helps me get through the games.”
What did Onyeka learn from his brother?
“Never be scared of nobody,” Onyeka said. “Play like how I want to play. As of right now, he’d be proud of me. I know he’s looking over me, watching me.”
ON THE FLOOR
Friday night was the first of four pool play rounds of competition (two pools of four teams each, four from the U.S. and four international teams, Africa, Australia, Canada and Latin America. China also has a team playing a series of exhibitions.) before Sunday night’s pre-championship playoff, which helps determine the teams that advance to play Monday.
Hill’s Team Rose faced Team Harden in a matchup between the two U.S. teams made up of players in the 2017 class. On an adjacent court, Okongwu’s Team Wiggins was facing Team Lillard in a matchup between the two U.S. teams of 2018 players.
Team Harden is loaded with seven of the top 16 players in the country based on the ESPN ranking, including No. 1 DeAndre Ayton, a 7-0 center from Hillcrest Academy in Phoenix who previously played at Balboa City Prep in San Diego.
On Friday night, Hill, nursing a chest cold picked up while in Las Vegas last weekend, got to defend Ayton. Hill led his team in rebounds (six) in limited minutes during a nine-point loss.
This showcase appears to be set up perfectly for Ayton and the rest of his highly-ranked teammates, which includes No. 2 Wendell Carter (6-9 power forward from Atlanta), No. 5 Trevon Duval (6-3 guard, Wilmington, Deleware), No. 7 Kevin Knox (6-8 small forward, Tampa), No. 9 Gary Trent Jr. (6-5 guard, Apple Valley Minnesota), No. 12 Hamidou Diallo (6-5 guard, Queens, New York) and PJ Washington (6-7 forward, Frisco, Texas). Trent had a game-high 22 points while Ayton had 19 points and 15 rebounds.
“I felt like if I was at 100 percent it would have been a different game,” Hill said.
Hill said it was his first time playing Ayton, who he may get to face again Sunday night or, perhaps, Monday in the showcase game on ESPN.
“He’s pretty good,” Hill said. “Whenever I go on the court I don’t look at it like, ‘He’s the No. 1 player.’ I look at it as ‘I’m the best player and I’m going to show you what I can do.’ ”
Okongwu had 10 points and nine rebounds as Team Wiggins defeated a Team Lillard roster that also included his Compton Magic teammate, Jules Bernard (6-5 2018 guard, Los Angeles Winward).
Okongwu ranks No. 5 by ESPN in the class of 2019. He is one of three ranked 2019s “playing up” a class with the 2018s. A 15-year-old in this setting against many of the best players in the country? No worries, he said.
“Playing against anybody, I don’t get phased at all,” Okongwu said.
How much did it help having the experience with Chino Hills, which became the Beattles of the prep basketball world last winter?
“Yeah, that too, but that’s how I am,” he said. “I’m not scared of no one. I’m ready for the competition.”
MAGICS AND MORE MAGICS
Hill, Okongwu and Bernard aren’t the only players representing Compton Magic at Nations. Jaylen Hands, a 2017 point guard from San Diego committed to UCLA, is playing for Team Harden.
Also, Friday night, a mix of Magics spanning four class years made up a fill-in team that ran late into the night in an exhibition against Team China.
That Magic team included power forward Christian Gray (2016, North grad), point guard Jordan Williams (2017, Hemet Tahquitz), forward Isaiah Mobley (2019, Temecula Rancho Christian), and his younger brother Evan Mobley (2020, Rancho Christian), also included regional players like 2018 Santa Ana Mater Dei forward Harrison Butler, 2019 Los Altos guard Jarod Lucas and 2020 Harvard Westlake guard Johnny Juzang.

Talks between hereditary Wet’suwet’en chiefs opposed to a natural gas pipeline continued Friday with federal and provincial politicians and were expected to go into the weekend.
Crown Indigenous Relations Minister Carolyn Bennett said it was good to be talking early because “work needs to be done.”
“We’re here to listen to the Wet’suwet’en leadership and the chiefs,” Bennett told reporters in Smithers, B.C., prior to Friday’s meeting. “Our main job is for us to keep talking.”
Joining Bennett at the table on Day 2 were hereditary chiefs, B.C.’s Indigenous Affairs Minister Scott Fraser, and elected band council chiefs who signed community benefit agreements with TC Energy, the parent company of Coastal GasLink CGL).
The hereditary chiefs’ opposition to a natural gas pipeline cutting across their traditional territory, coupled with their efforts to limit police presence on their lands, have sparked shows of support across the country that have halted rail service for the past three weeks.
Tensions remain in some parts of the country where solidarity actions are still in place.
Nathan Cullen, a former NDP MP who is acting as a liaison between the governments and the chiefs, said outside the meeting that the amount of work being done is substantial but the parties are unlikely to reach a broad resolution on Friday.
“It is important, it seems to me, to the chiefs and to Canada and B.C., that even if we only can arrive at interim steps here, they’re durable. There’s no such thing as a quick fix in this. This is something that needs to be taken seriously and from my observations, all the parties are taking it incredibly seriously,” he said.
Establishing trust is important to arrive at solutions, which have to be found at a negotiating table, Cullen said.
“It wasn’t going to happen at a blockade. It wasn’t going to happen at a protest. It was always going to be a conversation between leadership and I think the fact that we are here is positive. I still remain hopeful that what comes out of today is something that can be built upon.
“For those folks that are expecting a full and final resolution of this matter after a day and a half of talks, I think that is a very, very high expectation to have.”
B.C. Premier John Horgan said he has no plans to go to Smithers in the near future and he’s been advised that talks have been co-operative, cordial and respectful.
(Talks moved to the Prestige Hotel in Smithers from the Office of the Wet’suwet’en. Lee Wilson/APTN photo)
“I am hopeful, as I have always been, that there can be a peaceful resolution and a way forward, not just in Wet’suwet’en territory, not just in British Columbia, but indeed across the country.”
Fraser noted he had 25 hours of initial conversations with the chiefs several weeks ago and the province has been working closely with them to maintain an ongoing relationship.
“The important thing is we are willing to roll up our sleeves and get to the complex and difficult issues and we began that yesterday and we’re going to continue that today,” he said.
Meanwhile, the Mohawk Council of Kahnawake outside Montreal proposed Friday that its Peacekeepers head up a temporary Indigenous police force to patrol the Wet’suwet’en territory and allow the RCMP to withdraw entirely from the area.
Grand Chief Joseph Norton said his community’s chief Peacekeeper has offered to work with other Indigenous police chiefs to gather the officers required.
Cullen said he wasn’t aware of the offer from the Mohawk council and it isn’t a part of the discussions at the meeting between the hereditary chiefs and ministers.
“New ideas or new offers, they’re coming in from everywhere,” he said. “That’s helpful to an extent but it’s going to be the people around that table who are going to make the solutions happen.”
The RCMP has already committed to ending patrols along a critical roadway in Wet’suwet’en territory while the negotiations unfold, while Coastal GasLink has consented to a two-day pause in its activities in northwestern B.C.
The dispute over the Coastal GasLink pipeline project began months ago, but tensions began to rise on Dec. 31 when the B.C. Supreme Court granted the company an injunction calling for the removal of any obstructions from roads, bridges or work sites it has been authorized to use in Wet’suwet’en territory.
The RCMP moved in to enforce that injunction on Feb. 6. Hours later, protesters started holding up railway traffic outside of Belleville, Ont., in solidarity with the Wet’suwet’en hereditary chiefs, thwarting freight and passenger rail travel.
During question period Friday, Conservative finance critic Pierre Poilievre said the economic repercussions of the suspended rail service and shipments have amounted to a “war on working people” and demanded to know how government would fight back.
Transport Minister Marc Garneau told a Commons committee on Thursday that Ottawa is trying to analyze the economic impacts to the economy of the disruptions, but said it is a complex calculation that could take up to six months to fully determine.
Garneau said the financial implications will likely be higher than most Canadians might think, as a total of $300 billion worth of goods moves by train every year in the country.
“What’s important here to realize is, even if we start tomorrow and we had all the barricades down, it takes weeks, perhaps months to get back up to speed.”

Reynoldsburg residents could see double-digit savings from a proposed new electrical aggregation contract, according to a spokesman for American Municipal Power.
Terry Leach told city council's finance committee Dec. 3 that 4,500 residents and 600 small commercial customers took advantage of the current two-year aggregation contract with First Energy Solutions. That contract will expire at the end of December.
Leach said residents were guaranteed a 5-percent savings off the American Electric Power (AEP) generation and transmission price under the terms of that contract.
"Our supplier was First Energy Solutions and I would recommend keeping them as your supplier, because we negotiated 20 percent off for residents and 25 percent off for small businesses for the next two-year contract," he said.
Leach said the typical residential customer who uses 750 kilowatts a month of electricity could save $144 in a 12-month period.
"This is also a no-risk offer, with a zero fee to join," he said. "And if you want out of the program, you can get out with no fee."
He said the program would be similar to the last aggregation deal: Residents would be notified of the program and would be signed up for it unless they opt out by responding to a letter.
"After they get the mailing, they would have 21 days to opt out of the program," Leach said.
Once AEP is notified, residents then have seven days to tell AEP they don't want to switch from AEP to First Energy Solutions, he said.
Leach said the city of Reynoldsburg would receive $10 for each resident who stays in the program and does not opt out.
Finance committee Chairman Chris Long said the city received "hundreds of phone calls" during the beginning of the last aggregation process.
Leach said the problem was that AEP contacted every resident to "persuade them not to switch suppliers." He said AEP did not give out accurate information about the program.
"For instance, they said it was a three-year program with the savings guaranteed for only 18 months, but it was actually a two-year program," he said.
Leach said AEP came to an agreement with the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio and "will not be sending any letters this time."
He said AEP's budget customers and those on payment plans or whose electric bills are overdue would likely not be on the list of residents to be offered the aggregation program.
Long said Leach should be "very specific in making it known you do not offer a budget program."
"We would make it clear the impact the aggregation program would have on a budget customer," Leach said.

2016 Topic 8: White Space
Hi everyone, Sara Naumann here.
Tonight I'd like to share with you this evening with a post about utilizing white space.
I love white space and clean, spare designs—just as much as I love inky and layered designs. When I make something, I'm always keeping the recipient in mind, and sometimes less is more depending on that person's taste and style.
For this card, I wanted to use the white space to brighten up the background and provide contrast to the leaf and the very small stamped word "reverie". The idea of white space doesn't have to mean blank or boring...in fact, it doesn't even have to be all white! Here I've added some interest and texture with a very light brayered application of London Night Fresco Finish. This keeps the background from overwhelming the focal point and provides some depth.
Step One: Use a cosmetic wedge to apply Guacamole Fresco Finish, then Tinned Peas Fresco Finish paints onto the Eclectica ESN20 leaf stamp. Spritz it lightly with water, then stamp onto white cardstock. If you don't get the perfect impression the first time, just spritz, tap with paint and try again. When you're done, be sure to clean the stamp right away.
Step Two: Once the paint is dry, either punch or die-cut it into a shape. If you're die-cutting, use some washi tape or stencil tape to hold the metal die in place before running it through the machine.
Step Three: Use the cosmetic wedge to apply London Night Fresco Finish to the edges of the shape. I apply a very thin edge, then let it dry a bit, then go back and blend it out with a clean part of the cosmetic wedge.
Step Four: Use the brayer to lightly apply London Night Fresco Finish to the left side of a piece of white cardstock. Let it dry—it won't take long.
Step Five: Cut two uneven strips of green cardstock and one strip of sheet music. Glue them along the left side of the white cardstock. Use black ink to stamp "reverie". Tip: I like to position the strips and the focal before stamping the word, just to be sure I have the elements placed correctly. Trim off the ends of the strips or fold them to the back of the cardstock.
Step Six: Use foam tape to adhere the stamped focal to the white cardstock.
After that, simply mat the piece on gray cardstock and glue it to the front of a card. Add gray cabochons at each corner and a knotted piece of black and cream ribbon.
The embellishments will add another hint of contrast and dimension: The cream of the ribbon highlights the cream sheet music paper, while the blue cabochons coordinate with the London Night brayered area. Everything is in crisp contrast to the white space background and help the stamped focal come forward.
Hope you've enjoyed this project! Some other ways to expand on the general theme—instead of brayering on your background, try a stencil pattern. Or instead of literal white space, opt for the same layout with cream or black. I'd love to see what you do with white space so please feel free to share!
Thanks Sara, I am always so impressed when minimal colours and elements can create such a strong visual piece. The linear elements behind the stamped image really help with the overall clean look. ~Darcy

Survival times of approximately 1 year (or about 10% of a lifetime) are achievable for 50% of dogs with osteosarcoma treated using the current standard of care (~50% of cases), and some dogs can survive 5 – 6 years after diagnosis.
How Long Can dogs live with bone cancer?
It’s sad to say, but dogs with bone cancer do not have a very long life expectancy, especially if the cancer has metastasized. Dogs who have an amputation followed by chemotherapy may live up to a year. However, some dogs have been known to live up to five or six years after treatment.
How aggressive is osteosarcoma in dogs?
Osteosarcoma in dogs is extremely aggressive. At the time of diagnosis, about 90-95% of dogs will have micrometastasis, meaning the cancer cells have already spread elsewhere even though they are not detectable.
How can I help my dog with osteosarcoma?
Treatment Options for Osteosarcoma in Dogs
Because osteosarcomas tumors are so aggressive, amputating the affected limb followed by chemotherapy to treat metastasis is the most common treatment. While amputation isn’t the right option for all pets, otherwise healthy dogs can function quite well with three legs.
Is bone cancer in dogs fatal?
Typically, dogs diagnosed and treated for bone cancer live for another 1 – 6 years. Unfortunately bone cancer is very aggressive and often proves fatal even when treated with surgery and therapy.
How long can a dog live with untreated osteosarcoma?
Without therapy average survival time is approximately two months. This is primarily determined by the discomfort associated with the primary tumour. If amputation is performed the average survival time is increased to six and a half months with 2% of patients alive after two years.
How fast does osteosarcoma progress in dogs?
Osteosarcoma of the limbs is called appendicular osteosarcoma. It develops deep within the bone and becomes progressively more painful as it grows outward and the bone is destroyed from the inside out. The lameness goes from intermittent to constant over 1 to 3 months.
Should I amputate my dogs leg with osteosarcoma?
How do you treat dogs with osteosarcoma? For the majority of dogs, amputation is the best treatment for cancer in the leg. Amputation will alleviate the pain produced by bone cancer, and also prevent the leg from being broken.
Does osteosarcoma hurt to touch?
Osteosarcomas can cause pain. If there are tumors in the bones of your arm, for example, it may be painful to lift things. If the tumors are in the bones of your legs, it may cause limping. However, osteosarcomas can also be painless.
How much does it cost to treat osteosarcoma in dogs?
The cost of surgery itself will depend on the surgeon’s degree of specialization along with the anatomical location of the tumor, but $1,000 to $3,000 is typical. Chemotherapy will typically add another $2,000 to $4,000 (depending on the protocol elected and the patient’s size).
Does CBD Oil shrink tumors in dogs?
CBD may help with pain management, to even mitigating the daily pain of cancer in dogs. While CBD oil may not shrink cancer cells, as no studies prove or disprove this yet, dogs with pain may feel relief from side effects through regular use of CBD products.
Can osteosarcoma be misdiagnosed in dogs?
Because the signs of bone cancer are non-specific, this cancer can often be misdiagnosed as an injury, arthritis or a fracture or ligament tear. Over time, the affected bone may become very swollen or so painful that the dog can no longer place weight on the leg.
Should you euthanize a dog with cancer?
If the pet has a condition like congestive heart failure, or untreatable brain cancer — a disease that will, unchecked, lead to a painful death — the recommendation may be for euthanasia sooner instead of later.
Is my dog dying from cancer?
Labored breathing: Difficulty catching their breath; short, shallow breaths; or wide and deep breaths that appear to be labored. Inappetence and lethargy. Losing the ability to defecate or urinate, or urinating and defecating but not being strong enough to move away from the mess. Restlessness, inability to sleep.
Can cancer make a dog limp?
Osteosarcoma is one of the more serious cancers a dog can have, as it spreads quickly and is difficult to remove surgically. The tumor initially appears as a swollen or painful area on a dog’s leg, causing a limp or whining and licking.

Review: PORTAL (2019)
A ghost hunting show that’s having equally bad luck hunting ghosts and ratings. That’s been the start for any number of movies, recent examples being Deadtectives and Investigation 13. Director Dean Alito (The McPherson Tape, Lizzie Borden Had an Axe) and co-writer Peter Dukes (Escape Room) use this familiar jumping-off point for their film Portal. It’s not the most original film you’ll see this year or even this month. But it is at least a bit of a change of pace.
Steve (Ryan Merriman, Final Destination 3, The Jurassic Games) is the lead investigator for the show Ghost Seekers. He’s adamant that everything they record is real. No special effects, no re-enactments, nothing faked. That has led to a serious lack of the kind of spectacular footage viewers want. And a corresponding lack of ratings. In desperation, he bribes the scout for another show for a truly haunted house.
What he gets is the Dalva House where a man went insane and killed his entire family. Except for his youngest daughter, who killed him. How bad is its reputation? Despite a backstory like that, nobody wants to use it as a location. So Steve, photographer Jen (Najarra Townsend, Contracted, Dementia: Part II), tech Mason (Myk Watford), cameraman Raz (Reinaldo Zavarce) and producer Cris (Jamie Tisdale, The Devil’s Candy) decide to be the first.
They don’t find any ghosts, but they do find a box with the instructions for a ritual. Of course, they perform it. They still don’t conjure up any spirits, but they do open a portal that allows demons to enter our world.
The swerve into Evil Dead territory makes a nice change from the usual ghosts and spirits these films give us. The first half of Portal actually feels like a fairly decent ghost film. We get the odd shadows, the things half-glimpsed in the background, etc. Then a rather unexpected act sends things into another direction.
An appearance in the last act by Heather Langenkamp (A Nightmare On Elm Street, Hellraiser: Judgment) as the surviving daughter helps put the last pieces into place. It also gives Portal an unusually poignant ending. Another familiar face, Yan Birch (The People Under The Stairs, Eternal Code) as her adoptive brother. This does bring in a cliché Native American shaman angle. But he and Heather play off each other so well it’s worth dealing with.
An interesting side note, Portal is the first production from the folks at HorrorHound. Apparently, a magazine, convention, and website weren’t enough for them. This is a solid, if safe, debut for them. Hopefully, they’ll take a few risks with future films.
Portal is available on streaming platforms via Vertical Entertainment. You can check its website for updates.

This original and unique shadowbox was commissioned as a gift for a retiring Doctor and President of a hospital.
We started by cutting two openings into a mat, with each of them being fitted with a fillet made from the “Veine D’Or” collection by Omega Moulding, to provide a decorative edge. The first opening features a stethoscope, which was sewn into place using fishing wire. The second opening has a custom metal plate, cut with our in-house laser and inscribed with a dedication.
The frame came from another collection by Omega Moulding called “Allure”, with Artique black matting and TruVue Museum Glass used to complete the piece.

The Global Robotics Market was valued at USD 27.73 billion in 2020 and is expected to reach USD 74.1 billion by 2026, registering a CAGR of 17.45%, during the period of 2021-2026. The rising demand for industrial robots has been triggered by the workforce shortage, owing to the COVID-19-related lockdowns and an upgrade of traditional industries. According to the National Bureau of Statistics data, in June 2020, China’s industrial robot production increased by 29.2% year-on-year, reaching 20,761 units in the first half of 2020.
- A large number of investments are recorded in the robotics domain due to the increased demand. According to the World Robotics report from the International Federation of Robotics, indicated that the investments in new car production capacities and modernization of industrial spaces had driven the demand for robots. Factors such as the development of energy-efficient drive systems and high competition in all major car markets have enabled investments across major happening economies. - The automotive industry is considered to be one of the most critical applications of industrial robots owing to significant increasing investments in industrial robots across the globe. For instance, in Apr 2020, BMW AG signed an agreement with KUKA to supply around 5,000 robots deployed in new production lines and factories across the globe. KUKA also stated that these industrial robots would be deployed worldwide at the BMW Group’s international production sites to manufacture the current and future vehicle models.
- Moreover, in Aug 2020, Shanghai SK Automation Technology Co., which provides intelligent equipment for the automotive manufacturers, announced an initial public stock offering on the STAR Market and raised RMB 733.14 million. - To reduce the capital spent on labor, various organizations worldwide are adopting robotics automation in their warehouses. For instance, the operational stock of industrial robots is expected to reach around 3800 (in thousand units) by 2021, from approximately 2,400 (in thousand units) in 2018. Further, Alibaba upgraded to robotic labor in one of its warehouses, drastically reducing the labor workforce by 70%, creating an opportunity for a highly-skilled workforce.
Key Market Trends
Service Robotics is Expected to Witness Significant Growth
- The covid-19 pandemic boosted the market for professional service robots with high demand for robotics disinfection solutions, robotic logistics solutions in factories and warehouses and robots for home delivery. According to IFR, in 2020, the medical use service robots market is projected to record 12,000 units worldwide. Further, the demand for logistic use service robots was projected highest with 11,40,00 units in 2020. - According to NIOSH, healthcare workers have the most hazardous industrial jobs in the United States, with the highest number of non-fatal occupational injuries and illnesses. It is estimated that about 6,000 surgical robots performed a million operations globally. The market was worth USD 6 billion. A basic system costs USD 2 million. Reputed organizations, such as MIT and the University of Michigan, are working on the technology to deliver small and compact robots to the medical sector. - The increasing number of medical robot systems-assisted surgeries is further increasing the product innovation rate in the market. For instance, Robot Aps developed and launched a rehabilitation robot to help health professionals with bed-ridden patients, reducing the dependence on nurses for actions, such as heavy lifting. - Further, service robots for personal and domestic use, which are produced for the mass market, are mainly household robots. This includes vacuuming and floor cleaning robots, lawn-mowing robots, and entertainment robots. The total number of service robots for personal and domestic use has increased by 34% to more than 23.2 million units sold in 2019. - According to the data by the United Nations, the global population of people above the age of 65 is expected to grow by 181% and may account for 16% of the population by 2050. The aging population is one of the primary factors for the significant growth in deploying robots in domestic healthcare and assistance applications.
Asia-Pacific is Expected to Hold a Major Share
- Asia-Pacific region is expected to witness a significant growth rate over the forecast period due to the substantial adoption of robots. Further, South Korea and China are dominant in adopting robotics due to the massive electronic and automotive manufacturing industry deployment. - Furthermore, governments across the Asia-pacific region have been implementing initiatives to improve their healthcare infrastructure. This will encourage medical facilities in the region to replace traditional open surgeries with laparoscopic procedures. For instance, medical facilities in Japan have already commenced replacing conventional open surgeries with minimally invasive techniques, single-incision procedures, and robot-assisted surgeries. - As the region faces an aging population, the government organizations in the region are planning to rely more on robots over the workforce. For instance, the Housing Development Board (Singapore) intends to adopt autonomous drones or robots to identify which parts of public housing blocks need cleaning. The primary aim is to reduce the amount of water required to clean by focusing only on the dirty areas.
- Further, in January 2021, Artificial intelligence technology company Ubtech Robotics launched the Adibot UV-C Disinfecting Robot at the CES 2021. The Adibot robotic disinfection system is designed to offer a hospital-grade solution against COVID-19, integrating the robotics and AI from Ubtech with UV-C technology that disinfects targeted surfaces and air by deactivating the DNA and RNA of harmful pathogens.
The Global Robotics market is moderately competitive, with a considerable number of regional and global players. The market vendors are focusing on expanding their customer base across foreign countries. The companies are leveraging strategic collaborative initiatives to increase market share and profitability.

Audiobooks can make family road trips more enjoyable than you ever imagined! Check out my top 5 recommendations for audiobooks to enjoy as a family this summer!
Our family is no stranger to long road trips.
With my husband’s entire family living 12 hours away in Mississippi, we make the trek there at least once or twice per year.
But even short road trips can be a challenge with little ones.
While our mini van is equipped with a DVD player, my husband and I aren’t keen on our girls spending hours upon end in front of a screen–even if it does give us some peace and quiet on the road.
Instead of a steady stream of movies while on the road, our family has fallen in love with audiobooks!
Audiobooks are a great way to introduce non-readers and readers alike to great literature from an early age.
Much like podcasts, audiobooks can be streamed from any smart phone or electronic device via the Audible app.
A voracious reader in my youth, I was sad to miss out on my favorite hobby for the first few years of motherhood because I simply could not find the time to sit down and devour books.
Discovering audiobooks has been a game-changer for me.
Now, I can “read” while cleaning the house, doing yard work, taking walks or bike rides, and, yes, even while driving around town or on long road trips.
Audiobooks can be the bookworm and multi-tasker’s dream, especially as a busy mom!
Check out my top 5 audiobooks to make family road trips more fun.
Peter Pan has been one of my husband’s most beloved stories since his childhood.
While we introduced our girls to Peter and his gang of Lost Boys via the movie years ago, we are excited for them to listen to the original J.M Barrie novel soon.
Audible Studios recently released an audio interpretation narrated by actress Lily Collins.
We know this classic story is something the whole family can enjoy, whether it’s on a family road trip or just riding around town together.
While it’s one of my husband’s favorites, this title will be great for everyone.
This is a whole series of books that my first grader has been enjoying this year. Many elementary school educators highly recommended the series.
In fact, my daughter’s teacher used the Magic Treehouse books as readers with her class.
Audible offers the entire collection, and I am most excited about our little rising 2nd grader being able to listen to the narration while reading along with the series since it’s at her current reading level.
Our family listened to Charlotte’s Web together while on a road trip last fall, and it’s one you won’t want to miss.
The novel is so much richer than both movie adaptations, and with E.B. White himself narrating, you know the voice intonations and expressions come across exactly how he originally intended.
Your early readers can read along or just listen, but be prepared with tissues for everyone. This one’s a tear-jerker!
This was the first audiobook my girls and I ever listened to. It kept us so intrigued that we’d often sit in our driveway and keep listening even after we arrived home.
While I had watched a movie depiction of the novel when I was a little girl, I had never read the book. I had also forgotten how the mystery unfolded.
The Secret Garden is a piece of classic children’s literature that you will not want to miss sharing with your kids.
Anne of Green Gables is my all-time favorite children’s book, so I couldn’t leave it off this list!
Although later Anne books speak to the innocent romance between her and Gilbert, the first novel in the series is appropriate for even young elementary children. You might be surprised at how boys and girls alike will fall in love with the world’s most famous redhead and her daydreaming adventures.
I’m excited about introducing this novel to my girls, as all three share Anne’s red hair, fair skin, and freckles.
Bonus: Little House on the Prairie
An all time favorite that my girls have loved is the Little House series. We have listened to them all more than once.

Darcy was killed, along with many other survivors, when Colonel Stevens elected to destroy Gunnison with a tactical nuclear strike rather than risk the infestation spreading.
When Buddy and Sam Benson vanished while on a hunting trip, Darcy searched extensively for them, not realizing they had been killed by Xenomorph Chestbursters. When the Xenomorphs spread through Gunnison, Darcy discovered the dead remains of Carrie Adams and became hysterical. She was later found by Eddie Morales and joined him to the center of town to await a military airlift. However, the airlift was actually a tactical nuclear strike, and Darcy died in the explosion.


text: DAIRY QUEEN has come out with many new BLIZZARD treats this year. The PEANUT BUTTER COOKIE DOUGH BLIZZARD is one of them. I had never seen or tried cookie dough and peanut butter together. I was intrigued by this combination. Just by looking at the BLIZZARD in the cup I could see that there is a lot of toppings in it. The DAIRY QUEEN PEANUT BUTTER COOKIE DOUGH BLIZZARD was very sweet and creamy. It had a lot of peanut butter pieces and also a lot of shaved dark chocolate bits in it. I did taste cookie dough pieces in it but not as many as the peanut butter pieces. Almost to the half way point of the cup it was filled with toppings. But as soon as I dug little bit lower most of the toppings were gone except for the shaved dark chocolate pieces. The cookie dough flavour wasn’t as strong as I would have liked it to be, not sure if thats because there wasn’t enough cookie dough pieces in it to just that the pieces didn’t have a strong favour to them. Both the cookie dough pieces and peanut butter pieces were nice soft and chewy. The peanut butter pieces weren’t too salty. The combination of all these flavours was a good one.

It’s tough being the new kid on the block, especially when the block is already full of big kids who serve delicious food. But Buddha Belly, a food truck that serves authentic Chinese food, is ready to brave the aroma jam that is Thayer St. between Waterman and Charlesfield.
Buddha Belly popped up on the Providence food truck scene in September. The truck is on College Hill most Saturdays and Sundays for lunch and dinner. It cooks up Chinese “street food,” and though its menu currently consists of only a few items, the truck plans to expand it in the future. The man behind Buddha Belly also has a great sense of humor: he was wearing a shirt that said, “I HAVE THE BODY OF A GOD. Unfortunately, it’s Buddha.”
Buddha Belly’s menu items are more affordable than most of the other food trucks on College Hill, at $5-$6 each, and a friend and I were able to sample most of the items served.
The Chinese crepe was the star of the menu. I’m not sure what the official definition of a crepe is, but this certainly wasn’t anything like a crepe you’d get at the Creperie. It was a fried masterpiece, consisting of layers of chewy dough and crispy flakes, interspersed with fried egg and sprinkled with fresh herbs. It also comes slathered with a spicy sauce, which the owner kindly watered down for me because my taste buds are wusses. The crepe is definitely worth walking all the way up from the SciLi basement for. Continue Reading
This academic year, lamentably, has been rather short on new mobile culinary purveyors compared to the famed Food Truck Boom of 2012-2013. Just a year ago, as you may recall, food trucks were sprouting up the Hill like crazy and tweeting at each other all the time. Where was the new generation of Lotus Peppers, Sprouts, and Portu Galos? (Come to think of it, where the hell are Sprout and Portu Galo?)
BUT FEAR NOT. BlogDH presents, for the first time since two more trucks cropped up all the way back in September, a blaring New Food Truck Alert. Citizen Wing opened for business just this month with an array of gourmet chicken wings available for order. The selection includes staples like Southern BBQ, variations on classic flavors like Rosemary Hot (buffalo), and newfangled creations like Habanero Cilantro. The wings are tasty, though some might find them a bit pricey; order in bulk with a friend at 20 for $15 to maximize value. Other selections include fries, a gourmet $5 ice cream sandwich, a chicken and waffle plate, and boneless tenders.
According to the truck’s Facebook page, Citizen Wing chef Nick LeFebvre is a Providence local and Johnson & Wales culinary graduate. A tweet by Plouf Plouf indicates that LeFebvre at one time interned there, so he’s been around the Thayer/George food truck scene for a while. Blog gives Citizen Wing a thumbs-up and recommends it for an earlier night when you might already be feeling a little munchy.
There’s a new addition to the ever-growing fleet of food trucks that ply the streets of College Hill, and it’s serving a cuisine you may not have tried before. The Lady Copacabana truck features a changing menu of Brazilian fare and can be regularly found on George Street outside the Ratty during the evenings. The truck’s staples include rissolis (similar to empanadas, with choices of several meat and vegetable fillings), yucca fries, and rice balls, but also be on the lookout for the daily specials, which include a variety of Brazilian sweets and pastries. For more information, check out the truck’s Facebook page or website.
It should come as no surprise to us that there’s yet another addition to the College Hill food truck scene. Meet Fusion Gourmet, a spiffy and flavorful set of wheels that opened its windows at the end of May 2013. BlogDH reached out to the chefs, Jason Vargas and Nina Vongsomphou, to get the essential answers to the essential questions… and the inside dish.
Why did Jason and Nina open Fugo?
The idea of opening their truck came about when they wanted to open a restaurant and share their vision of food with others. However, the finances required to open a restaurant were not feasible, so they jumped on the food truck bandwagon.
What’s the inspiration behind Fugo’s menu?
The boyfriend and girlfriend duo both share a strong passion for trying new food. In fact, before opening the truck they trekked out to California to check out the booming food truck scene. However, their menu is heavily influenced by their personal backgrounds: the flavors in their dishes combine Jason’s Dominican and Nina’s Laotian backgrounds. Thus, their menu items such as Korean braised beef with cabbage mango slaw and kimchee and shrimp tempura wraps served with roasted corn salsa and avocado slices (Ed.-Droooooool) are a play on fusion cuisine, which blends Latin and Asian influences. Also enticing is the “filling” menu from which customers can select from a unique variation on beef, chicken, pork, or tofu to eat as either two tacos, a burrito, or bowl. Continue Reading
Still not happy with the small country’s worth of meal options provided by the College Hill food truck scene? Lotus Pepper, one of the newest meals-on-wheels options to hit the corner of Thayer and George and/or Brown and George, is here to help. Offering a six-item menu of Vietnamese cuisine at reasonable prices, Lotus Pepper appears to be shooting for the simple, pleasant vibe of a Mama Kim’s-type establishment. Kind-of-almost-pictures of the menu below. If it looks good, you know what to do–try that shit tonight. Obviously. Continue Reading

Qantas is going to launch “mystery flights Qantas is launching “mystery flights” in an effort to boost domestic tourism across Australia and spark nostalgia. The day-trips, where passengers don’t know the destination when boarding, were popular in the 1990s.
The airlines across the region are coming up with different strategies to tackle the pandemic-induced travel slump, with Thai Airways announcing this week it will slash its workforce by 50%. The downturn has led to government bailouts, collapses and huge job cuts.
The carriers are dealing with a severe drop in passengers amid “the uneven roll-out of vaccinations across the world which will only delay the full reopening of borders”, according to the Association of Asia Pacific Airlines (AAPA).
AAPA figures released this week showed that passenger numbers for January were just 4% compared to the same month last year, when 33.5 million passengers flew across the region. On Tuesday, Thai Airways International said it planned to cut its staff numbers in half in the next few years, as part of the troubled national carrier’s rehabilitation plan.
The airline plans to have 13,000 to 15,000 employees on its books by 2025, having announced last month it will also slash hundreds of management positions and supervisors.
