The government should import more immigrants because comfortable people are losing out on their cheap imported maids, cleaners, cooks, drivers and downhill labor, according to Mona Charn, policy editor at TheBulwark.com, a NeverTrump website.
Charin on August 3 Started:
Postcards from the Great American Labor Shortage: A couple arrives at Seattle Airport after a 5-hour flight and queues at the rental car counter. It soon becomes clear that something is wrong. The line slips through the garage. People are angry… There is not enough staff on hand to clean, wash, refuel and treat cars.
A couple had been driving for several hours and required a stop in the bathroom. They withdraw to Burger King. The doors are locked. The only service in drive thru. why? Lack of staff.
Maybe you’ve stayed in a hotel recently? Maid service and room service are rare. If hotels offer these services at all, they are only available upon request. about 25 percent The employees of restaurants and hotels are immigrants. What could happen here?
“This is the resentment of the Republican aristocracy,” replied Jessica Vaughan, director of policy studies at the Center for Immigration Studies. continued:
I can’t bring someone to make my bed every day in my hotel room! No one will come to collect my trash from the ground! Nobody will leave me new chocolate on my pillow! …it’s almost comical, but she preaches to a diminishingly small chorus.
“Oh my gosh,” replied Kevin Lane, founder of US Tech Workers, adding:
It’s the height of arrogance that teeters to someone like Mona Charn because someone wasn’t there to step on her and bring her to her… to think that the solution to this [workplace] The problems are that bringing in more aliens is more than just being blind.
Shareen explained her problems in an August 3 article titled “We Need an America First Immigration Policy”:
The wealthy globalist elitism on Wall Street wants cheap labor to cut wages and fatten up their already huge bank accounts. This is exactly what China Go is planning to do with the latest US policy agenda. https://t.co/kGVjafVmFc

“That dining room set you were waiting to deliver? A Shortage From dockers and truck drivers slowing everything down,”
She declared that the solution was more immigration:
those [migrant] Workers were driving trucks, administering IVs in hospitals, cleaning hotel rooms, picking vegetables, and designing programs. …and caring for the elderly. And by the way, they will help with that Reduce the overall price level.
Its founding solution – importing immigrants to lower wages and reduce inflation – is shared by many investors, and they The Wall Street JournalAnd by many Democrats.
Vaughan said Charn’s focus on “America First” rather than “Americans First” is remarkable. “They view workers as service providers, not as American citizens with a stake in their country’s future,” Shareen and her allies said, adding:
This is an illustration of the classic division over immigration between the elites of American society and the rest of us Americans. The elites who benefit from immigration only want more of it. They are oblivious to the costs incurred by American employees – which, by the way, are most of them [GOP] Voters – and those who want to reduce immigration because it creates unfair competition for them and is costly to taxpayers.
[Charen is] Among the few who benefit from mass immigration into American society. Every policy has winners and losers, and mass immigration benefits employers and the wealthy who consume the services offered by immigrants at the cheapest rates rather than US citizens.
Lynn said Shareen’s comments are “similar to saying ‘the beating will continue until morale improves’,” adding:
This is not an America First agenda. This is the Americans’ latest agenda. It is a union agenda. It’s shortsighted, which will only lead us to lower productivity and less innovation… the voters see through it… [Trump won in 2016 because] He was the only politician in both parties to talk about class war. And when I read an article by an elite titled like Mona Sharan, it was a class war.
Shareen’s vision reads: “America is a corporate system. But ‘American’ means a citizen who has not only rights, but also responsibilities and expectations … The corporate system does not want to have expectations of a middle-class lifestyle, job security, or pension .
Shareen’s article related to April article At TheBulwark.com by Linda Chavez, A long-term supporter Cheap immigrant labor. Chavez said, who works Member of the Board of Directors From a company owned by investors that rents blue collar workers For other companies, including Hospitals.
Lin said that Sharen’s hand-wringing lament is also economic nonsense.
Pro-amnesty billionaires crave cheap labor to fatten their already massive profits. https://t.co/tOYwhYENC6

He said that Americans are willing and willing to do the work – for a decent wage:
This is nonsense about hospitals not being able to find enough people. Well, every year several thousand US citizens or permanent residents cannot get residencies in US teaching hospitals. And during the height of the covered emergency, pleas were made we asked policy makers to run these doctors and [employers] You won’t. When they say there’s a shortage of doctors and they need more immigrants, look at the sidelines – there are a lot of Americans out there.
He added that the alleged shortage of “STEM graduates” is also institutional fraud.
Lane said Democrats are pushing this myth because it works for investors.
“We have millions of workers in America who have been laid off and left the workforce,” Vaughan said. “This should be a bigger policy concern: How do we get these workers back into the workforce?”
Since at least 1990, the Capital Corporation has drawn tens of millions of legal and undocumented immigrants—as well as temporary visa workers—from poor countries to work as workers, managers, consumers, and renters for many American investors and executive managers.
This federal economic policy of extractive emigration tilted the free market toward investors and employers.
Inflationary politics makes it difficult for average Americans to marry, advance their careers, raise families, or buy homes.
Extractive migration has also slowed innovation and reduced Americans’ productivity, in part because it allows employers to raise stock prices by using cheap labor instead of productivity-enhancing technology.
Immigration undermines employee rights in the workplace, and widens regional wealth gaps between the large coastal states of the Democrats, the Republican districts, and the southern states. The influx of cheap labor is steering the economy toward low-productivity jobs and pushing at least ten million American men out of the labor force.
An economy built on immigration for extraction also drains Americans’ political leverage over elites, alienates young people, and radicalizes Americans’ democratic civic culture because it allows wealthy elites to ignore it. Despair Americans in lower to society.
Economic policy is backed by progressives who wish to transform the United States from a society governed by civic culture of European origin into a progressive empire directed by competitive and resentful identity groups. “We are trying to become the world’s first multiracial, multi-ethnic superpower,” Rep. Rohit Khanna (D-CA) Tell The The New York Times in March 2022. “It would be an extraordinary feat…we will triumph in the end,” he boasted.
Business-backed immigration advocates hide the economic policy of extractive immigration behind a variety of Noble explanations And the Theatrical Border Security software. For example, progressives claim that the United States is an “immigrant nation,” that immigration is good for immigrants, and that the country should renew itself by replacing population.
Polls show that the public wants to welcome some immigration — but they also show deep and widespread public opposition to labor migration and the influx of temporary contracts. Workers The jobs that young US graduates are looking for.
Opposition is growing, anti-establishment, multiracial, transgender, non-racial, class-based, bipartisan, reasonableperseverance, and recognizes the solidarity that American citizens owe to one another.

The Airsoft GI Big Summer Sale is near and this is an event that you don’t want to miss, not least of which is because LevelCap from LevelCap Gaming will be there, and anyone who shows up will have a chance to try out two of the newest and most excited guns to hit the market in a long time: The brand-spanking-new Krytac Trident M4 CRB AEG and the Tippmann M4 Carbine that runs on C02/HPA!!!
I have been using a certain CO2 pistol since just before Tim VS Bob IV/4.5 which has now become a permanent part of this Axe Man’s armory and it is…The Elite Force 1911 Tactical CO2 Blowback Pistol!
Ever since we started carrying Elite Force 1911’s at Airsoftgi.com and GItactical.com I have had many chances to fire them and every time I marvel at not only their out-of-the-box accuracy but, more importantly for me, the incredible amount of recoil. Now, the recoil might not be “revolutionary” per se, but going from green gas pistols which have significant recoil to the Elite Force 1911 felt like taking a dip in very cold water, in other words it was shocking. There is a LOT of recoil on this gun and as such it was much more fun to shoot than any other gas pistol in my armory.
Thankfully, I was able to purchase one just before Tim VS Bob IV/4.5 and thereby got quite a bit of field testing in with said pistol. One of the things I noticed while on the east coast is that my Elite Force 1911 did respond much better to colder weather than I ever would have expected my other green gas pistols to. I was able to achieve solid hits on targets further out and in colder weather than I would have ever been able to had I used a pistol running on green gas. Now, this is not to say that an Elite Force 1911 will always function in cold weather, but that it will perform above comparable green gas pistols in cold weather simply because of the fact that it is designed well and uses CO2 to function.
The WG CO2 Non Blowback 1911 Airsoft Gun ( Black ) is not meant for use against live targets. The velocity on this gun is over 500 FPS with .20g BBs and therefore should only be reserved for target shooting. The entire gun is made of plastic and the only moving parts on it are the trigger and the safety. The CO2 is loaded into the pistol grip and is sealed very well, the magazine is a slender double stack magazine that holds 15 rounds. This is a purpose built target shooting pistol for you to practice your draw and your aiming.

Legislators said that a new law requiring doctors to notify women of dense breast tissue will save lives and likely won’t increase health care costs.
The bill, signed by Gov. Deval Patrick in late June, would require the Department of Public Health to issue new mammogram regulations, requiring doctors to tell patients when a mammogram reveals dense breast tissue, which could mask breast cancer.
“Almost half of women do have dense breast tissue, and half of those, the mammography doesn’t pick up their cancer if they have it,” said Sen. Patricia Jehlen, who championed the bill in the state Senate. “It is a risk factor for breast cancer. So all our bill says is if your radiologist sees you have dense tissue, they tell you and say you should consult with your doctor or others for further tests.”
The bill was created by Rep. Denise Provost. In 2012, Provost’s Somerville neighbor discovered that she had stage four breast cancer, just seven months after the woman had a mammogram showing no abnormalities.
“She said she subsequently learned the cancer wasn’t spotted because she has dense breast tissue … and evidently in Massachusetts no one needed to have told her, and she wanted to know what I was going to do about it,” Provost said.
Provost said Massachusetts follows in the footsteps of 16 other states that require doctors to notify their patients of their dense breast tissue and explain the risks and potential next steps.
The state may also follow the lead of California, which had doctors develop a website to explain dense breast tissue and answer frequently asked questions.
The law runs counter to the broader industry trend of less frequent testing. However, Provost said the possibility of increased testing and increased health costs is worth it.
“I suppose there is a possibility that there will be more testing pursued, but at the same time, the husband of my neighbor, who died a year ago today from her undetected cancer, told me about the hundreds of thousands (of dollars) it costs to treat her advanced cancer,” she said.
The bill had bipartisan support in both sides of the legislature, and had the support of the Massachusetts Radiological Society.
“It was a revelation to know how many of my colleagues had either been in this situation or knew someone who had,” Provost said. “And there was a good understanding of the need to address what’s not an uncommon condition and not, per say, abnormal, but problematic, and a real limitation.”

CLINTON, Iowa -- Clinton was one of 29 Iowa cities to be awarded a grant from the state to improve it's downtown.
The grant was for $100,000 from Iowa Economic Development. It's a 2.9 million dollar project to assists with the redevelopment or deconstruction of buildings "to stimulate economic growth or reinvestment in the community," according to the website.
"The state of Iowa is very much committed to small towns," Clinton Mayor Mark Vulich said. "they are trying to preserve the concept of the downtown."
Vulich says in the last eight months, eight new businesses have opened in downtown Clinton, so to keep the area growing, they are renovating buildings.
"It's the historical part of Clinton," Vulich said.
The building is from the 1940's and has sat empty for the last 10 years. Non-profit, Downtown Clinton Alliance, purchased the rundown building to redevelop it.
"I see potential," Downtown Clinton Alliance Director Karen Rowell said. "I think we have a lot potential in Clinton. We're hoping we get a young entrepreneur who wants to start a business."
They plan for an apartment upstairs and a commercial property downstairs. The idea behind the non-profit is to buy one small building, flip it, and buy another.
"It needs roofing work," Rowell said. "It's got old pipes and old plumbing."
The city will pay $25,000 towards the project. The Downtown Clinton Alliance will also pay $25,000 to the project. Some of the money for the non-profit comes from taxing downtown businesses extra, but business owners say they don't mind.
"I think the money is well spent," Downtown shop owner Deb Wiese said. "I believe so strongly in downtown that the money does not bother me one bit."
The final price tag for the historic building will be more than $150,000.
"I think one building makes a huge difference," Wiese said. "One building is gonna bring another building."
"It'll never be what it was in the 50's and 60's, but it's going to be a different downtown," Vulich said.
Rowell says they hope construction will begin in May. They say before the state's money, the project would take up to 4 years. Now, with the grant, they estimate it will take one year to complete.

The Italian Job
Morning pastries at Corrado Palmieri’s counter are simple: croissant-like cornetti or cannoli dusted with powdered sugar and filled with a thick, gentle vanilla pastry cream. They’re just what you’d find at the counter of a cafe in Italy, where regulars read La Stampa. But you are not in Italy.
Palmieri graduated cum laude from Bocconi University in Milan, Italy’s premier business school, and worked in investment banking for 10 years. “But my goal,” he says, “was one day starting my own coffee shop and bakery.” He grew up sharing the kitchen with his grandmother, who made cakes, breads, and pastas while he studied. “Baking was like playing,” he says. From her, he learned to make pasticciotto, the buttery short-crust pastry, like a stout sugar cookie filled with vanilla pastry cream, which has been the specialty of his southern Italian hometown, Galatina, for two and a half centuries.
Initially, he thought he would open his bakery in Italy. But the economic crisis made that prospect prohibitively risky. So he returned to Dallas, where he had earned an MBA at SMU. He’d noted French bakeries but no Italian coffee shop of the kind he imagined, so he set out to make the specialties he’d honed during the year he’d returned to Galatina to apprentice under a pastry chef.
Palmieri’s technique and sourcing are meticulous. He took three months to develop the right flour blend. He’s had a vision since he was a child and saw the towers of Galatina’s cement factory—the only factory in town—rise. It’s unromantic, he says, but it was a muse. He would start something from scratch. Something small. Make it grow. That was the dream.
He sets his alarm for 4 am. By 6 am, his corner of the Farmers Market shed is filled with the cheerful patter of Italian radio. There may be no finer taste of Italy than his flaky cannoli or the puffy calzone filled with a savory mix of ground chicken, tomatoes, and green olives, livened with rosemary.
Soup It Up
The small size and care of Joanne Bondy’s operation might tempt you to trot out the old adage “Just like Grandma makes,” but her soups and stocks aren’t just like what your grandmother makes. That’s the point. Bondy is classically trained, with decades of experience. She owned Ciudad D.F. in Oak Lawn, was the executive chef at the Gaylord Texan’s Old Hickory Steakhouse, has cooked at the James Beard House, appeared on TV shows, and been a culinary instructor. Battling breast cancer and caring for elderly parents brought her back to basics. With a new focus, she set out to do one thing and do it exceedingly well.
Now all of her training goes into the crafting of seven soups and two stocks. She cares passionately about quality ingredients and maintains relationships with local farmers; two family farms supply her with custom bone blends that give her stocks a coveted gelatinous quality. A setting on her two enormous 40-gallon stainless-steel kettles keeps the stocks from reaching a roiling simmer during their 20 hours of cooking, preventing the violent collisions that can make a stock murky with fat particles. Hers are as clear as consommé.
The pork posole is bright with tomatillos and thick with pulled roasted pork. Texas chili, cozy with spices, uses grass-fed Burgundy Pasture Beef from Grandview. Her lobster bisque, finished with port and brandy, and her cream of mushroom soup, finished with sherry, are some of the best I’ve had. She also cares passionately about educating. Monthly classes she’s calling “Perspective of …” (as in “Perspective of a Cow,” “Perspective of a Pig”) reflect a trend to teach about the whole animal. “It’s time to go deeper, go bigger,” she says.
Meanwhile, one of the smallest treasures is a cup of bone broth, infused with one of seven teas from the Cultured Cup. It might be her chicken stock flavored with an apple-almond black tea, slightly fruity and almost floral. Or basil-lemon oolong combined with her beef stock. All that goodness in a cup.
If you don’t ask about the doubles, you will miss the most important thing at Caribbean Cabana. Take the two puffy disks of quickly fried dough that sandwich a mound of chickpea curry. Pinch with your fingers. Devour.
Doubles vendors are the first eagerly awaited stop when Yolande and Robert Plaza get off the plane in Trinidad. They’ll visit one stall, maybe two, when they return to the place they left 28 years ago. In Brooklyn, where they lived before Dallas, there was such an established West Indian community that it never occurred to Yolande to make and sell her island food, though she attended culinary school in Trinidad. In Dallas, her sure hand is a rarer find.
From her small window where tickets hang on clothespins—she designed the stand to look like a beach shack—she serves up a bright yellow, turmeric-rich curry or jerk chicken with plenty of heat. Sides might include rice and pigeon peas, plantains, or macaroni pie so rich a slice stands up by itself. Shrimp curry is cooked to order, and the goat curry and oxtail routinely sell out. Yolande’s mother is Venezuelan, which is why you’ll also find her tostones, smashed plantain fritters.
Some of the simplest street foods are the trickiest and most time-consuming to make: roti, a tear-apart crêpe with ground split peas folded in; fry-bake, a soft puff of fried dough, like an enormous jelly doughnut, which is used for sandwiches.
“A lot of the food is made by feel and by touch,” Yolande says. “Even in Trinidad, it’s basically more the older heads that know how to do these things.”
To talk with the Plazas for any length of time will make you salivate. Maybe it’s the way they roll their eyes heavenward and shake their heads as they describe aloo pie, filled with seasoned mashed potatoes and served with chutney, or callaloo, a soup traditionally made from a green that looks like elephant ears. Robert remembers puréeing it for his mother with a traditional wooden swizzle stick. “People come and know, and they ask for it,” he says. The pie and soup might become regular additions. But for now, they remain off-menu items with a cult following.
Silk Roadside Diner
Afifa Nayeb is from Kabul, and many of her recipes have been passed down over generations. “On my mother’s side, everyone was cooking. They had the touch,” she says. The mantoo dumplings with tofu-spinach filling? Those are all her own, a vegetarian variation on the traditional meat filling.
Nayeb’s background is in business and finance—she owned five locations of Western Mutual—but, she says, “I want to feed people. It’s my passion.” So when her daughter left for college, Nayeb enrolled in culinary school to earn a degree in pastry. “The day she went to college, I went to culinary college. We both went together.” In culinary school, Nayeb met Nevin Kaya, who has a background in mathematics and roots in Istanbul. Their partnership produced Laili’s particular mingling of Afghan food, Turkish pastries, and French desserts.
Sipped at the counter, Turkish coffee comes in cups with Iznik tile designs and has its requisite layer of silt. Despite the many elements of refinement in Afghan cuisine, the space constraints at the Farmers Market encouraged the pair to focus on the street foods of the Silk Road countries. Nayeb’s own penchants made her prioritize eco-friendliness and health. Theirs is a “green” kitchen: no wood-fire grilling, no smoke, no frying. Everything is cooked in the high-end, energy-efficient oven that is the kitchen’s primary tool. So the kebabs are roasted, served in pillowy bread with a garlicky cilantro-yogurt sauce and a garden salad. Dishes are beautifully plated and vibrant. Red bell peppers stuffed with rice, studded with pine nuts and slivered almonds—another family recipe—come with pretty swishes of red-pepper purée, yogurt sauce, and puffy Afghan bread. In the spirit of a bazaar, there are things to take away; I never leave without the smooth, smoky eggplant dip, a square of syrup-soaked baklava, or a custardy crème brûlée.

I would never buy a Dodge again!
By DonnaGrace64 on
Vehicle2005 Dodge Stratus SXT 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 4A)
ReviewWhen I purchased this car in Dec 2005 and it still had miles left on the original warranty, I was happy. But I wasn't thinking that I needed to get it in for servce right away and within a few months I had to replace the transmission. Now the Shock Mounts/struts holding the rear shocks in place have broken and I need to replace them. I have so many problems with this car ever since I bought it - and the dealership I took it to for service just expects me to accept the broken mounts due to "salt and corrosion" as normal -even though the car is only about 5 years from the manufacture date- That I should have no problem with having to pay $550.00 for this repair. I'll never buy a Dodge again!!!
Worst FeaturesTransmissions that don't fail from early on - and more reliable suspension. Would appreciate a car that doesn't cost a fortune and ALSO doesn't have expected major repair and maintenance costs

This weekend, I had the opportunity to go to New Orleans for a work conference. The Rebuilding Together national affiliate network celebrated its 1000th home restored in the Gulf Coast since Hurricane Katrina. It was a very special moment, to say the least.
After my conference was over, I got to explore the city for a bit. I was truly inspired by the culture, community, and people of New Orleans. They were united, happy, and full of life, despite so many trials and tribulations since Katrina. People were honest, kind, friendly, and welcoming. They were proud of their city and each other, and their energy was contagious. It made me think closely about what I value in a community that I live in, and the people that I should surround myself with.
On Sunday, I had several hours to explore the city. Not only was the city fantastic, but it was absolutely GORGEOUS outside. It was 75 and sunny with a warm summer breeze. It was seriously Heaven walking around, having brunch indoors (or rather, outdoors) and soaking up everything I could. Thank you, New Orleans, for a great experience!

A Blueprint for Collaborative Lawmaking
Keywords:Center for Efficient Collaboration, child custody, Convergent Facilitation, Minnesota legislature, human needs, noncontroversial essence
Miki Kashtan, a consultant at the Center for Efficient Collaboration, describes how her Convergent Facilitation method of collaborative decision-making brought together contentiously divided stakeholders in an effort to redraft child custody legislation in Minnesota, resulting in a near-unanimous new bill that completely changes the approach to child custody. This breakthrough surprised many. It depended on reframing the goals of the legislative effort to find legislation that all could wholeheartedly embrace, based on what mattered to all parties. A commitment to those goals carried the group through two years of an intensive and yet non-adversarial process.

Safety first: it’s an idiom heard everywhere from the worksite to the playground, doctor’s surgery or accountant’s office, yet surprisingly few people take it on board when choosing their new car.
Historically, new car buyers have been more interested in alloy wheels or CD players than potential life-savers such as side air bags or electronic stability control which were optional in affordable cars until manufacturers made the technology standard.
The same is true today.
A recent survey of 1200 people who intend to buy a new car in the near future found only one in 10 consider technology such as autonomous emergency braking (AEB) a key factor in their purchasing decision. Due to be released on Tuesday by a major manufacturer, the survey also shows half of new car buyers are not familiar with self-braking systems that can prevent a crash, though older features such as anti-lock brakes are well understood.
Car manufacturers and safety bodies such as the ANCAP crash-testing organisation are working to educate people surrounding the benefits and limitations of modern driver aids.
Self-driving cars are still years away from becoming a daily reality – particularly in Australia – but there are a handful of key technologies already common in showrooms.
Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB)
The car industry offers extraordinary innovation, regularly introducing new technology to improve the safety, convenience, efficiency and performance of modern vehicles. What it does not do well is present a unified front when it comes to naming new technology – or defining exactly how it works.
AEB systems use camera, radar and laser sensors on the front of a car to detect the speed and distance of obstacles on the road ahead. If they predict an imminent collision, the systems usually sound a warning inside the car – often accompanied by flashing lights or a dashboard alert message – before braking to reduce the severity of a crash, or prevent it altogether.
In some cases, AEB is used in concert with forward collision warning and pedestrian or cyclist detection systems to avoid a crash. The technology is proven to reduce the likelihood of a crash - ANCAP says AEB fitment results in a 38 per cent reduction in real-world rear-end crashes, Victoria's Transport Accident Commission says AEB can avoid 35 per cent of rear-end crashes and mitigate damage in a further 53 per cent of rear-end collisions and America’s Insurance Institute for Highway Safety says collision warning and automatic braking tech halves the chance of a collision.
Respected US publication Consumer Reports surveyed more than 57,000 readers who own modern cars equipped with active driver aids, publishing its results in August 2017.
The survey found 69 per cent of owners were “very satisfied” with AEB systems in new cars, with 18 per cent saying it helped them avoid a crash.
One of the problems surrounding AEB is that manufacturers use a wide variety of names to describe the technology, including Pre Sense Plus (Audi), Driving Assistant Plus (BMW), Active City Stop (Ford), Collision Mitigating Braking System (Honda), Intelligent Brake Assist (Infiniti), Pre-collision Safety System with Brake Assist (Lexus), Smart City Brake Support (Mazda), Active Brake Assist (Mercedes), City Collision Mitigation (Mini), Forward Collision Mitigation (Mitsubishi), Intelligent Emergency Braking (Nissan), Pre-Collision Braking System (Subaru), Pre-Collision Safety System (Toyota), City Emergency Braking (Volkswagen) and City Safety (Volvo).
Some systems, such as the Subaru Outback’s comprehensive EyeSight suite, will bring a car to a complete stop in an emergency situation. Others, including the Driving Assistant in BMW’s new X2, can only apply mild braking and will not stop the car without driver intervention.
BMW’s Driving Assistant Plus is a better bet, but again, it is not capable of a full emergency stop in the X2. The potential for customer confusion between in-house systems extends beyond luxury brands to mainstream marques such as Mazda, which offers two separate emergency braking systems in the popular CX-5 small SUV.
Every CX-5 model features a camera-based Smart City Brake Support system which works between 4 and 80km/h. Top-end models get radar-based Smart Brake Support which offers a greater range of capability, operating at speeds ranging from 15 to 160km/h.
The technology is becoming increasingly common – Ford says its popular Ranger Wildtrak ute will feature AEB with pedestrian detection capable of coming to a full stop from September this year.
Australian test data for AEB is thin on the ground, though ANCAP will soon have the capacity to assess active safety systems on local soil. A thorough examination of AEB technology by the American Automobile Association in 2016 produced three key findings.
The first was that systems capable of stopping to avoid a crash reduced vehicle speeds by twice that of systems designed merely to minimise the effect of a crash.
A second outcome was that when tested with a difference in speed of less than 30mph (48km/h), systems designed to prevent crashes “successfully avoided collisions in 60 per cent of test scenarios”, a number that dropped to 33 per cent for systems which can only reduce vehicle speeds.
Finally, the AAA sent cars toward a static vehicle while travelling at 45mph (72km/h), finding models designed to completely prevent a collision could do so 40 per cent of the time, reducing speed by an average of 74 per cent to 19km/h or so. Collision mitigation systems failed to prevent crashes, only reducing speeds by an average of 9 per cent, or 6.5km/h before impact.
Consumer Reports’ wide-reaching survey found Mazda customers were the least satisfied with AEB systems, while Tesla, Subaru and Infiniti scored top marks. The survey found customers across the board were happiest with Blind Spot Monitoring technology, with 83 per cent of owners giving it top marks for satisfaction.
Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM)
There’s little mystery to blind spot monitoring systems – most do exactly what the name suggests. Cameras or radar sensors embedded in the car keep dutiful watch to the side and rear of the vehicle, warning a driver of potential hazards when changing lanes.
Most names for the system are relatively straightforward - Active Blind Spot Detection (BMW), Blind Spot Alert (Holden), Blind Spot Detection (Hyundai), Blind Spot Warning (Nissan), BLIS – Blind Spot Information System (Volvo) and Blind Spot Monitor (VW) are reasonably clear, though Audi Side Assist and Lane Change Assist (Porsche) are a little ambiguous.
Most systems place a warning light near the side mirrors, illuminating in tandem with an audible chime if an object is detected during a lane change. Others take a different approach, including the new Holden Equinox which vibrates the driver’s seat to warn against hazards.
Honda’s LaneWatch displays a video feed from a passenger side-mounted camera within the central infotainment screen, lending additional confidence to drivers.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
Similar in nature to BSM, RCTA systems mounted behind the back bumper look sideways to spot traffic when you are backing out of a parking space. Particularly useful in shopping centres, RCTA often sees objects – cars, trolleys or pedestrians – that are difficult to sight from the driver’s seat. Some systems will even apply the brakes to avoid a crash, even when backing into a spot.
Offered by brands including BMW, Infiniti, Jeep and Subaru, reverse automatic braking can go beyond the prevention of minor bumper damage to stopping parents from tragically backing over children in their driveway.
Lane Support (LDW, LKA)
Camera-based lane support systems watch lines painted on the side of the road, helping drivers stay on track through Lane Departure Warning (LDW) systems, or by physically steering the car back into line with Lane Keeping Assistance (LKA).
The systems vary in operation – most will sound an alarm, while some also vibrate the driver’s seat or steering wheel, illuminate warning lights and display a dashboard message. LKA systems offer a broad spectrum of ability, with some able to steer the car for brief periods without a driver touching the steering wheel, and others offering a tiny amount of torque to help turn the wheel in the right direction.
Moving beyond commonly accepted LKA and LDW terminology, you can find the technologies under a variety of labels including Active Lane Keeping (BMW) LaneSense (Fiat), Lane-keep Assist System (Mazda) and Lane Departure Alert (Toyota).
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
Also known as active cruise control or radar cruise control, adaptive cruise control systems allow drivers to not only set a maximum speed, but also a preferred distance to the car in front. The systems help prevent tailgating and rear-end collisions while taking some of the stress away from highway driving. Some systems will bring your car to a stop behind the vehicle in front – either at a red light or during a traffic jam – while less sophisticated arrangements require you to take charge and hit the brakes to avoid a crash.
The best ACC systems work in concert with LKA to offer mild semi-autonomous driving features, particularly at low speed. Traffic jam assistance currently available in luxury cars include Traffic Jam Pilot (Audi), Traffic Jam Assistance (BMW), ProPilot Assist (Infiniti),Traffic Jam Assist (Mercedes), Pilot Assist II (Volvo), Autopilot (Tesla), which will brake, accelerate and steer for you in some circumstances, especially within low-speed traffic snarls.
Intelligent Speed Assistance
Once limited to cruise control and speed limiters, Intelligent Speed Assistance now takes in traffic sign recognition in the form of cameras that can read speed signs and re-display them on digital dashboard displays.
Better than GPS systems in that they can immediately recognise new speed zones or adapt to temporary changes found during road works, traffic sign recognition systems reduce your chances of being caught speeding or involved in a collision.
The next step for the technology surrounds car-to-car and car-to-x communication capable of passing messages between vehicles and infrastructure. A digital signal beamed to your car could tell you to be wary of a crash just around the corner, to be mindful of emergency service workers or warn of slippery patches on the road.

Super easy home-made jack-o-lanterns using "Spooky Silhouettes"!!
1. Create oval cut-outs(or circles, but I like using the oval shape both vertically and horizontally) from orange CS (Pumpkin Pie here) with your Nestabilities in different sizes. I was able to run all three dies through at once on the same sheet (odd numbers make the most "pleasing" groupings) No Nesties? Free-hand cut some wonky pumpkins on your own, lumpy pumpkins are fun, too!
2.Stamp your silhouettes on the pumpkins in black ink.
3. Draw some arced "ridges" (parallel to the oval's edge) with a marker or colored pencil (orange Koh-i-Noor) Optional: Lightly go over the whole pumpkin with just the side of your pencil's tip to give it a bit more texture (click on pic).
4. Sponge the edges, concentrating mostly at the bottom, with a deeper orange (Really Rust) or brown ink to create depth and shadows.
5. Free hand trim some chunky stems and punch out some Large Flourishes from green DP or CS (Basic Grey Ambrosia, one of the solid distressed colors) for the pumpkin tops and tendrils and adhere.
6. Pop your pumpkins onto card with dimensionals!
I used the D'Vine Swirls CB folder for my black background and ran my card front through my paper crimper to mimic the pumpkin ridges, swiping my Pumpkin Pie pad over the ridges. I also could have made some scores with my Scor-Pal, but I don't use my crimper often enough!! SU! Hodgepodge frames the "Boo!" greeting.
These pumpkins can be attached to a multitude of Halloween projects, candles, candies, treat bags, etc! If you make some of you own pumpkin projects with this, please let me know here so I can come check them out! :)
TRIVIA: I won third place ($25 GC) one year for a pumpkin carving contest at my husband's office Halloween party after we were first married. I spent 6 hours creating an "Austin Powers" pumpkin with Mike Meyers and his funky teeth carved on one side and "Yeah, baby!" with a bunch of groovy flowers on the back. Trust me, it was shagadelic. (I'm told I didn't get first because they thought I must have used a store-bought pattern... but I didn't!!) Wish I could find the pic...
Here's fun link , appropriately titled Wack-O-Lanterns to get you in the mood before you start "carving"!
What a great card! I love your ideas.... I could case them ALL! ;)ReplyDelete

- 5G services are expected to be introduced in Odisha in the coming months.
- Telcos like Airtel and Jio are set to make a phased rollout of next-generation mobile connectivity.
- The first rollout phase of 5G largely includes metro cities
At least four cities in Odisha are expected to get 5G services by March 2023, according to Ashwini Vaishnaw, Union Minister for Railways, Electronics and Information Technology (IT). Speaking at the sidelines of a railways event in Odisha, Vaishnaw stated that 5G connectivity, which is being rolled out across India in multiple phases, will come to the state of Odisha with four cities — without specifying which of Odisha’s cities would be among the first to get the connectivity. Bhubaneswar, the capital city of Odisha, is highly likely to be among these cities.
How 5G services are being rolled out in India
Vaishnaw’s statement comes amid a phased rollout of 5G services in India — presently at a very early stage of deployment. At present, private telecom operators Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel are undertaking a phased rollout of services in the country. While Jio has rollout its 5G services in Delhi, Mumbai, Varanasi and Kolkata, Airtel has so far offered it across eight cities — Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Nagpur, Siliguri and Varanasi.
Varanasi, it is interesting to note, was not named in the initial list of 13 cities across India that were shortlisted to be among the first to receive 5G connectivity. Furthermore, fellow private operator Vodafone Idea is yet to announce when its 5G rollout would commence.
So far, the union government has maintained that the rollout of 5G services will take place at prices that will remain in line with the highly competitive tariffs for 4G in India. While Bharti Airtel is offering a non-standalone (NSA) 5G network, Jio has opted to offer standalone (SA) 5G — known in some quarters as ‘true’ 5G. The new generation network will require telcos in India to significantly upgrade their networks — a capital intensive move, at the very least.

David and Victoria Beckham are reportedly ‘concerned’ about being caught in the middle of Prince Harry and Prince William's royal rift, as they choose who to invite to their son’s wedding.
- The Beckhams attended both Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding (opens in new tab) and Prince Harry and Meghan’s - and are reportedly torn over which couple to invite to their son's wedding.
- The princes reunited last month for the unveiling of Princess Diana's memorial statue but tensions are still believed to be high between the brothers.
- This royal news (opens in new tab) comes after Prince Charles shared a rare toddler photo of him and Princess Anne beside young Queen and Prince Philip (opens in new tab).
The royal rift between brothers, Prince William and Harry, is thought to be ongoing, following Harry and Meghan stepping down as senior royals (opens in new tab) and moving to LA (opens in new tab) in 2020, where they have made bombshell claims about their time within the Firm (opens in new tab).
Sources have now claimed that famous friends are now struggling with the royal fall-out, with Victoria and David Beckham reportedly ‘concerned’ about which couple to invite to their eldest son Brooklyn’s wedding.
The 22-year-old is set to tie the knot with model Nicola Peltz, after the couple announced their engagement last year.
The Beckhams were invited to both the Cambridges' and the Sussexes' weddings and are believed to be struggling with knowing who to invite to the nuptials.
An insider told Closer, "Vic’s a bit concerned about inviting both couples and all the attention being focused on the warring royals rather than her son and his future wife.
"Whoever they don’t invite, it will look like a snub and she’s worried that if she invites both, it will create conflict for her and David given they want to remain on good terms with both couples. She’s understandably worried about being dragged into Meghan’s feud."
This follows the reports that the Obamas weren’t fans of Harry and Meghan’s ‘attacks’ on the royal family (opens in new tab), as the couple was noticeably absent from the Former President’s A-list 60th birthday.
Prince William and Harry recently reunited for the first time since Prince Philip’s funeral, for the statue unveiling of their Mother, Princess Diana (opens in new tab) on what would have been her 60th birthday.
Many had hoped this would be the start of reconciliation, but after the announcement of Harry’s memoir (opens in new tab), experts believe the crisis is too big to fix (opens in new tab). The announcement of the memoir has reportedly left the Queen extremely concerned (opens in new tab) and experts believe William and Kate will be in for a rocky 2022 (opens in new tab).

text: We evaluated the time course of QT intervals and the amplitude of T waves, and their relationship to subsequent left ventricular regional wall motions in 88 patients with successfully reperfused acute myocardial infarction (MI). The QTc intervals and the amplitude of inverted T waves of lead V3 in patients with anterior MI and of lead III in patients with inferior MI were measured for 1 month after MI. Patients were classified as having severe T wave inversion or mild T wave inversion within 3 days of MI, based on a measurement of 0.5 mV in the anterior MI cases and 0.3 mV in the inferior MI cases. Chronic-phase left ventriculography was performed 5 months later, and hypokinesis of the infarct site was measured using the centerline method. The T waves inverted after reperfusion in 86 patients (98%). The inverted T waves deepened twice, with the first negative peak about 48 h and the second negative peak about 18 days after MI. QTc intervals became prolonged as the T waves deepened. The extent of hypokinesis in the chronic phase correlated with the amplitude of inverted T waves and QTc intervals when the T waves were deepest. The group with severe T wave inversion had less extensive hypokinesis, a lower maximum serum creatine kinase level and a shorter time to reperfusion from the onset of symptoms than the group with mild inversion. We conclude that the degree of T wave inversion 48 h after MI is predictive of abnormalities in left ventricular regional wall motions in the chronic phase. A deep inverted T wave in the acute phase of MI indicates an abundantly stunned myocardium.

Jill of the Jungle
DOS game, 1992
Another of the many femine games, that are trying to break the action genre and put a girl in the main role. In the most arcades games, you jump with some creature, or at least something furry. Here the main character in the action is Jill. Jill is quite a capable woman, for example she can throw knives. This is useful when you meet in the woods huge ant on a tree, or spider, or whatever it is. I was pleasantly surprised by the behavior of the game itself: the game itself will remind you to save the progress and I find this very usefull, since I always forget to save the game. …read more
Another of the many feminizing games. In most arcades you jump with some creature, preferably round or at least hairy. This is where Jill becomes the center of the action. Jill is a relatively capable woman, she can throw knives, for example. This is useful when you meet a huge ant on a tree in the forest. Maybe it was a spider. Or an arachnid. Throwing a knife at angry bees is useless ... Well, it's not important. To the course of the game. I was pleasantly surprised by the behavior of the game itself. It will alert you to the need to save, at least for me it affects the fertile soil, I forget to save. Or when collecting the already mentioned knife, the item that throws Altem immediately pops up in the menu. The advantage and it's nice.
The game is divided into a number of worlds, between which you move on numbered stones. This sounds weird, but it's true. Everyone differs from the monsters that crawl there, but also from the possibilities of movement. In the forest you can climb vines or jump on branches, on the rocks you can look for small islands on which you jump higher - if you do not fall. And if you fall nothing happens, the only exception is falling into the fire or on bayonets ...
Jill is one of many arcade games and together with Gianna they contribute to a greater representation of the fairer sex in the computer. I wonder what it will be ...: D

Every generation of emergency physicians can tell a whiplash-inducing story of a medical reversal from their training, whether it be measuring pulmonary artery wedge pressures, the rise and fall of drotrecogin alfa, early goal-directed therapy for sepsis, or high-dose steroids for spinal cord trauma. Many of these therapies were diffused widely across practice before falling out of favor, and while each individual instance offers specific lessons, the larger question must be: why does this keep happening?
Explore This IssueACEP Now: Vol 41 – No 12 – December 2022
The answer is, unfortunately, obvious, and subsequently disheartening for the future of emergency medicine (EM). There is a foundational issue with the quality of the evidence that informs clinical practice. We have seen recent articles in the Annals of Emergency Medicine describing trials in EM as “fragile,” but a new study evaluates the evidence base in its totality.1
Producing what the authors term an “umbrella review,” this study sought out the top level of the evidence-based medicine pyramid for EM: systematic reviews and meta-analyses.2 The authors identified 431 eligible meta-analyses in EM in their search, comprised of 3,129 individual studies, the majority of which were randomized controlled trials. The authors rigorously evaluated each meta-analysis to determine whether there were sources of potential systematic bias affecting the reliability of the outcomes measured.
First, each meta-analysis was evaluated for signs of publication bias. Publication bias colors the evidence base as consequence of suppression of a subset of trial results. This may happen as an inadvertent effect of academic publishing, as null results may be less appealing to medical journals and have a lower likelihood of acceptance. However, publication bias may also relate to an intentional discarding of negative results by those with professional or financial conflicts of interest. In either instance, the use techniques such as funnel plots and Egger’s regression may reveal signs of potential bias.
The authors then exercised a more novel approach to the presence of bias: a test for excess significance. In a world where randomness ought to rule the day, it is a potential signal of threats to the internal validity of included studies if a disproportionate number reach statistical significance. Given a certain power to detect significant differences, there is an objective statistical likelihood for a pool of studies to each reach that threshold for significance based on their sample sizes. In effect, these authors have formalized “too good to be true” into an evaluation for possible bias.

HST692: Prisoners of War in the Twentieth Century
The major conflicts of the twentieth century saw millions of servicemen taken prisoner. Many succumbed to ill-treatment and starvation and many others were held in captivity often for many years after hostilities were over. This module provides a methodological and contextual introduction to the topic by comparing the internal economic, political and social factors that determined the belligerent powers' treatment of prisoners, as well as reflecting on prisoners' experiences through memoir material. It will also draw on the cognate discipline of international law in examining the role of international conventions in protecting prisoners, both in Europe and the wider world.
This module aims to further your knowledge on the treatment of prisoners of war in the twentieth century. It will employ a comparative framework to provide an analysis of the two world wars and between different theatres in the same wars. It will also focus on the workings of international conventions within warfare through a case study of their formulation and application to prisoners of war, and how their use has influenced conventions in the present day.
By the end of the module, you will be able to demonstrate:
|Seminar hours||Tutorial hours||Independent Learning|
The module will be taught in five two-hour seminars where you will choose or be given tasks that will contribute to the seminars in the form of audio-visual or oral presentations. In each case, there will be discussion of content, debate and the sources used to compile such presentations. You will, in addition, have individual tutorial contact with the module leader in order to discuss your written work for this module.
|Assessment||% of final mark||Length|
You will complete an essay to a maximum of 3,000 words where you will be expected to explore the context, strengths and weaknesses of primary and secondary sources for the study of military and international history in general, and POW history in particular.

This Bone China Forget-Me-Not Small Oval Plate by Paragon was originally made to be used as a tray for the sugar and creamer. This small plate by itself is perfect for pickles, olives, or sweet treats for the table. Sprays of dainty blue and light purple forget-me-not flowers decorate the rim and spill onto the surface of the plate in four places. Each spray of abundant blossoms stretches and curls on delicate green stems with green leaves. The scalloped rim is subtly fluted with narrow pleats and trimmed with a gold edge.
The tray measures 8-1/2 inches long by 5-1/2 inches wide and the scalloped rim rises 1-inch off of the table.
Made by Paragon circa the 1960s to 1970s, the gold and red lion and unicorn Royal Arms backstamp reads: "By Appointment To Her Majesty The Queen, China Potters, Paragon, Fine Bone China, England Regd. L/L” (A Royal Warrant was issued by the Queen in the 1930s.) The mark is finished with a color miniature of the Forget-Me-Not motif.
As in most vintage pieces, there are normal, small surface scratches. There are no chips, cracks, or crazing to this exquisite plate.

By Michelle Apple, L.C.S.W. and Russ Pitts
The workplace is where most adults spend up to half of their waking lives, and it’s a place where we are most likely to meet new people, find new friends and share in the experiences of other people. Occasionally that means dealing with a personal loss.
Whether sudden or expected, tragic or peaceful, dealing with the loss of a friend or colleague is never easy. It is entirely normal to feel sad or even depressed after suffering a loss, and for some people a personal loss may make dealing with their existing mental health issues even more complicated.
Friends, family, and co-workers are the major supporters for those who experience a loss. They are the first line of defense. But many people worry they do not understand how to handle such situations, or how to offer help. There is also a great fear of saying or doing the wrong thing, or making someone’s suffering worse.
Here is a quick guide to helping someone positively cope with their grief
1. A grieving person may experience shock, denial, anger, guilt, sadness. These are the “seven stages of grief” that a person typically goes through when they experience a loss. These stages may vary in the duration and how they look depending on the individual. These stages are not on a clock and it may take someone a while to return to their “old self”. A grieving person may be short-tempered, withdrawn, forgetful, tired, depressed, behave erratically, or be more emotional than usual.
2. You can help someone you know by expressing your sympathy. This can be as simple as saying how sorry you are to hear that they suffered a loss. Ask if you can help in any way. Be careful to avoid saying things like “I know how you feel”, “Time will heal all losses”, or “It was God’s will”. Even if sincere, these comments can cause offense, or be received in the wrong way by someone coping with a loss. It’s best to keep it simple, and remember that we are all different and cope in different ways. What might help you might not help others.
3. Remember that just being present is supportive, and sometimes that’s all another person needs.
4. It’s also important to keep in mind that when someone else experiences a loss, you may have your own emotional reactions. Death and loss frequently generate questions about our own mortality and that of our families. The death of someone’s child, relative, spouse, co-worker or friend may evoke strong emotional reactions about how much we might relate to based on our own experiences in the past, or our own fears about what might happen in the future. This is a natural response to a loss, even if it’s not our own.
5. Those that may feel they are too frequently worrying or sad about certain aspects or issues in their lives should reach out to someone to talk to. There is no stigma associated with just needing to sort out or talk through personal struggles. Ninety percent of people who receive counseling report feeling better after speaking with someone. Just getting the thoughts in your head out into the open is therapeutic in and of itself.
There is no “normal” response when it comes to loss. All people process loss at different speeds and differently in general. Be kind, be patient, be present.

Human Blood and Life Force: Vampires’ Holy Grail
Robert Cormier’s novel The Chocolate War presents the concept of symbolic
vampirism introduced in Thomas C. Foster’s guide How to Read Literature like a
Professor. According to Foster, symbolic vampires “don’t always have to appear in
visible forms” (Foster 18). In The Chocolate War, vampires lurk the halls of
Trinity High, an ostensibly holy Catholic all-boys school. One vampire comes in
the form of Archie Costello, the “assigner” of The Vigils, the school’s secret
society. Costello, a manipulative bully, abuses his power by exploiting others to
complete his selfish tasks. The Vigils’s power impresses Emile Janza, another
student at Trinity. Like a woman being seduced by a vampire, Janza’s obsession
with becoming a Vigil results in him being consumed and assuming the form of a
vampire himself. Even Brother Leon, the Assistant Headmaster at Trinity,
recognizes The Vigils’s power and sucks the blood of Archie and his followers.
Though they are not the typical scary, sometimes sparkly, bloodsucking monsters of
Victorian literature and contemporary teen romance novels, these characters possess
As the primary antagonist, Archie is the most visible vampire form in The
Chocolate War. When Emile Janza masturbates in a school bathroom stall, Archie
pretends to take a photo, catching him in the act. Later, Emile asks Archie about
Archie wondered, should I tell him the truth about the picture? He knew
that Emile Janza could be a dangerous enemy. On the other hand, the
photograph also could be used as a weapon.
“Tell you what, Emile,” Archie said. “Someday you might be able to get the
photograph all for yourself.” (Cormier 78)
Archie uses the photograph that he claims to have as a dangerous weapon forcing
Janza to obey his every word. Archie refuses to respect Janza’s autonomy; to
remain undead, Archie “steals the life force of someone whose fate matters less to
[him] than [his] own” (Foster 22). Archie’s exploitation of Emile exemplifies what
Archie is best at: psychological torture. Like a real vampire to remain undead
takes a young woman’s blood and life force, Archie to prevail over The Vigils and
the rest of Trinity High drains Jerry Renault’s reputation and dignity. At first
The Vigils assign Renault with the task of refusing to participate in the annual
school chocolate sale despite the fact that Archie tells Brother Leon, the teacher
supervising the sale, that he and The Vigils will make sure it is a success. After
ten days of refusing to participate, he is supposed to accept the chocolates.
However, on the eleventh day of the sale when Brother Leon calls his name during
the chocolate roll call, Jerry blurts out “no." The Vigils explicitly tell Renault
to participate in the sale, but Jerry still does not undertake the assignment.
Jerry’s defiance aggravates The Vigils. One night, The Vigils deploy a series of
harassing phone calls to Jerry who is...

By: Governmental Relations Division staff
On Sept. 10, the U.S. Department of Agriculture released its long-awaited rule that revises the definition of a “retail pet store” under the Animal Welfare Act (AWA) to include breeders who sell their pets online. The new rule, which will take effect in 60 days, aims to provide better oversight of the living conditions in which animals are bred in order to better ensure their health and welfare.
The USDA originally defined a retail pet store more than 40 years ago when the Internet did not exist. Under that definition, retail pet stores were exempt from the provisions within the AWA, which mandates minimal living standards for animals, because the buyer could see the animals prior to purchase, helping to ensure that they were in healthy condition. Since the advent of Internet commerce, many breeders began selling their animals “sight-unseen,” but still classified themselves as retail pet stores, meaning they were not subject to USDA oversight. This has often resulted in substandard living conditions for the animals involved, and upset pet owners who purchased pets before realizing the extent of veterinary care that will be needed.
The USDA’s newly issued rule, originally proposed in May 2012, will close this loophole in the regulation and provide greater oversight of online breeders. Specifically, the rule will require that retailers who breed more than four females (dogs, cats, or small exotic/wild pocket pets) and sell their offspring by mail or over the phone will need to apply for a USDA permit, pay an annual licensing fee and consent to random inspections. The USDA has said that by targeting retailers who breed more than four females, they will better be able to concentrate their resources on inspecting large-scale breeders.
AVMA has been actively working to update the definition of a retail pet store—both through regulatory and legislative means. In an August 2012 letter to the USDA, AVMA expressed concern that pets being sold online were not receiving humane treatment and encouraged the USDA to update its rule:
“We were struck and disheartened by the information provided in the table…which suggests that, based on an analysis of pre-licensing inspections for wholesale breeders, dogs in as many as 16 percent of those facilities may not have been receiving appropriate veterinary care; while 16 percent and 13 percent of those facilities lacked compliance with the Animal Welfare Act’s (AWA) minimal standards for facility maintenance and sanitation, respectively. In addition to providing appropriate veterinary care and ensuring that facilities are clean and well-maintained, it seems an inherent responsibility of those breeding and raising animals (whether for the public or other purposes) to ensure that the animals are appropriately housed, fed, watered, transported and otherwise cared for.”
The AVMA also supports the Puppy Uniform Protection and Safety (PUPS) Act (H.R. 847/ S. 395), which would subject large-scale dog breeders to regulation under the AWA.
