Gionee S6 Pro goes official with a 5.5" screen, Helio P10 chipset
The Gionee S6 went official last November with a 5.5" 720p AMOLED display and a MT6753 chip with 3GB of RAM. The device was quite attractive because of its thin and light metal unibody and snappy performance.
Today the Gionee introduces a successor to the S6 called the Gionee S6 Pro. It is also built of metal, and features a 5.5" display, but this time around the screen is an IPS one with 1080p resolution. The chipset has been upgraded too, it's the mid-range MediaTek Helio P10 with an octa-core Cortex-A53 processor, Mali-T860MP2 GPU and 4GB of RAM.
The Gionee S6 Pro retains the 13MP on its back, which is enhanced with phase-detection AF. The selfie shooter has been upgraded to 8MP resolution.
The Gionee S6 Pro comes with 64GB storage, expandable via a microSD slot. The S6 Pro uses a hybrid dual-SIM slot, so if you decide to opt for a memory card, you'll lose the option for a second SIM card.
The rest of the S6 Pro specs include a fingerprint sensor on the back, LTE connectivity, a 3,130 mAh battery, USB Type-C port, and Android 6.0 Marshmallow with Amigo 2.3 launcher.
There is no word on global availability just yet.
Helio x30 should use combination of A73 + A35, for better energy efficient usage and drop finally those A53 ones. Something like this for Helio x30 would be awesome: 2x A73 2.8GHz + 4x A35 2GHz + 4x A35 2GHz, and Helio x30 should use latest Mali...

Overpriced and only helio P10 ?? Mediatek where the F is your so much debating helio X20 or X30 looks like they wanished ! NO one smartphone has them assembled .. AT ALL ! Mediatek disappointing

I find it mind-boggling how Gionee can charge so much with a mid-range processor and only HD display, nothing special except possibly overall build quality.

State targets to irrigate 7.26 lakh hectares in next two years
Creation of irrigation potential of additional 10 lakh hectares was promised by the BJD in its 2014 election manifesto.
BHUBANESWAR: The State Government has decided to create irrigation potential of 7.26 lakh hectares during the next two years, 2017-18 and 2018-2019, in a bid to achieve the target of 10 lakh hectares by 2019. Official sources maintained that additional irrigation potential of 4.63 lakh hectares has already been created by 2016-17. Creation of irrigation potential of additional 10 lakh hectares was promised by the BJD in its 2014 election manifesto. After returning to power, the State Government had decided in-principle to implement the poll promise.
But, the Government has come in for criticism from the opposition political parties for lack of satisfactory progress in implementation of the promise. Official sources, however, maintained that there has been no delay in implementation of different schemes to achieve the target. Officials of the water resources department maintained the achievement will cross the target fixed by the State Government.
The issue was discussed at the meeting of State Agriculture Cabinet presided over by Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on Saturday. Progress in the implementation of irrigation projects was also discussed.
According to official sources, four irrigation projects, Lower Indra, Ret, Telengiri and Rukura, with a potential to irrigate 34,000 hectares will be completed in 2017-18. Eight other major and medium irrigation projects will be completed in 2018-19.
Similarly, 55 Minor Irrigation Projects (MIPs) out of the 213 work for which was started, have been completed and 158 more will be completed by 2018-19. Besides, 16 mega lift clusters and Upper Indravati Lift Projects under mega lift irrigation project are in various stages of implementation. The projects with a cost estimate of `7665.47 crore will provide irrigation to 2.41 lakh hectares.
Sources maintained that 1771 defunct lift irrigation points (LIPs) have also been revived by spending `221.97 crore. A target has been fixed to revive 799 defunct LIPs by 2017-18 and 803 by 2018-19. Besides, construction of 9558 check dams have been completed by 2016-17 at a cost of `1973.25 crore. A target has been fixed to complete 4000 check dams during 2017-18 and 2018-19.
Lower Indra, Ret, Telengiri and Rukura irrigation projects, with a potential to irrigate 34,000 ha will be completed in 2017-18
Eight other major and medium irrigation projects to be finished in 2018-19

'I look at all the other coaches and think am I the only normal one here?': The Voice's Boy George 'can't avoid' clashing with 'weird' judges
He's the extravagantly dressed Culture Club front man who was doing the whole big hat thing way before Pharrell Williams.
But these days, new The Voice Australia star Boy George is just as interested in finding his 'Zen' as he is a killer outfit.
Speaking to The Daily Telegraph, the 55-year-old revealed his fellow judges Delta Goodrem, Seal and Kelly Roland haven't made it easy for him to avoid conflict.
Unavoidable! New The Voice judge Boy George couldn't avoid clashing with 'weird' judges he revealed this week
'I look at all the other coaches and think ‘am I the only normal one here?' The UK singer pondered to the publication.
I'm probably quite deluded but you can’t help but think "am I as weird as them?"'
According the the publication, Boy George has become a student of Philosophy in recent years, but his quest for inner-peace hit road blocks on The Voice, as he confessed he 'couldn't avoid' clashing with his opinionated co-hosts.
Just me? 'I look at all the other coaches and think ‘am I the only normal one here?' The UK singer pondered about his time on The Voice Australia
While he openly admitted to the occasional tiff with the Channel Nine program's equally unique and opinionated stars, it clearly was due to no insecurities of his own.
Having come on the seen at a time when flamboyant outfits and makeup were far less celebrated for male performers in the 1980's, the industry veteran revealed that he has finally learned there's nothing more important to holding on to your own identity.
'Life is about growing into who you are...For the most part, I’ve been pretty clumsy. I feel like I’ve been in a pretty good period in the last nine years and I feel it’s about learning to like yourself,' the singer told the publication.
Having already fallen in love with Ricky Martin in earlier seasons of The Voice, the publication believes Boy George has all the elements to connect to a whole new generation on the show.
'Deluded': I'm probably quite deluded but you can’t help but think "am I as weird as them?"' the 55-year-old Culture Club frontman added
Not even Zen could help! Boy George revealed he has become a student of Philosophy in recent years, but his quest for inner-peace hit road blocks on The Voice
The key to his likability on the singing show is down to his discovery that audiences respond to truth and emotion, he said.
Using the example of 'polished' Adele and 'pained' Amy Winehouse, he theorised that both women found success because they spoke their truth.
For Boy George, his truth is painted out in flamboyant outfits, makeup and creativity, the publication insists.
The Voice Season 6 will begin airing on 24 April on Channel Nine.
Not on me! Proving his own securities weren't at fault for any arguments, he revealed that he has finally learned there's nothing more important to holding on to your own identity
Coming soon! The Voice Season 6 will begin airing on 24 April on Channel Nine and will star Boy George, Seal, Delta Goodrem and Kelly Rowland (pictured)

Today's financially savvy teens are thinking a lot about cryptocurrency, blockchain and non-fungible tokens, or NFTs.
Many of these young investors are curious about how they should start putting money into the often-volatile asset class.
Experts say that new investors don't need to shy away from cryptocurrency, but warn that they should educate themselves on the asset class and be sure to take necessary precautions to be protected from volatility.

"I say dive right in, but dive right in with the appropriate amount," said Brian Kelly, founder and CEO of BKCM, LLC during CNBC's Thursday event, "Money without Borders: A Virtual Summit," a collaboration between Invest In You and Junior Achievement.

Want to find financial success? Here's how to get started
Before buying a house, here's how to set yourself up for success
How much to invest
Because cryptocurrencies are much newer than other assets such as stocks and bonds, investing in them carries different risks, he said. To balance that risk, Kelly suggests making crypto investments a small part of the total money you put into the market.
"What I've always said to most people with an investment portfolio is take 5% or less of what you'd invest in stocks or bonds and put it into crypto," he said. That way, if cryptocurrency doesn't end up being a winning bet, you're protected from extreme loss, he said.
"It's going to hurt, but it's not going to change your life," Kelly added.
On the flip side, if cryptocurrency does grow exponentially, that original 5% could become a major part of your portfolio, he said.
"Just like any other investment, it is really about your position size and risk management," he said. "Where people make mistakes is they just get too big because they want to try to get rich quick."
Other experts say to only invest what you're willing to lose.
"Never ever, ever, ever put in more money than you feel comfortable losing to something that you don't fully understand or that has large volatility," Sam Bankman-Fried, CEO and co-founder of FTX Group.
How to start investing
Once you've determined how much money you'd like to invest in cryptocurrency or NFTs, you should take time to fully understand the assets.
Part of that is trying out different products and platforms, according to Bankman-Fried.
"It's really hard to have a deep understanding of what cryptocurrencies are, what NFTs are, what platforms are, what exchanges are, what blockchains are and what wallets are, if you haven't used them," he said.
Bankman-Fried suggests opening a few different accounts at different places with small amounts of money for testing purposes. Then, make use of all the available features in the accounts to get a sense of what it means to hold different assets, buy and sell and even send a transaction on a blockchain, he said.
"That is ultimately going to teach you a lot more about how the space works than any amount of talking or reading can do," he said.
The power of cryptocurrency
Experts point to the exciting future of cryptocurrency and other digital assets because they change the landscape of financial services by extending access to groups that have traditionally been left out.
"We've seen the grassroots movements that actually have propelled cryptocurrency and that's why you've seen communities that've been left out of the traditional financial system able to participate," said Cleve Mesidor, executive director of the Blockchain Foundation.
Asian, Black and Hispanic adults are more likely to say they've invested in or traded cryptocurrency, according to Pew Research Center.
"Those who are left out are embracing this new currency," said Mesidor. She also said the conflict in Ukraine has shown how cryptocurrency can be a helpful tool for war-torn victims, who are unable to access the money they've stored in home institutions but could get cryptocurrency.

Hawaii is up next to legalize gay marriage; an official review on NSA programs is underway; and social media sites criticize tasteless blackface and Trayvon Martin costumes. Meanwhile, the Jonas Brothers break up, and Julianne Hough receives some intense criticism for her offensive Halloween costume.

Hawaii governor expects gay marriage bill to pass ‘within week’,http://rtvote.com/1f1FWUw
Hawaii’s legislature is expected to pass a bill legalizing gay marriage “within a week or so.” The state’s House of Representatives will pass the bill on Thursday if it passes Senate; both chambers have Democratic majorities. Governor Neil Abercrombie stated that he hopes the bill will pass before January, at the very latest.
White House: Review will address global NSA concerns, http://rtvote.com/1gXYp8Q
As more nations become enraged by NSA’s spying programs, the White House has assured the public that the collection of data on allies will not continue. A review of these programs is currently in the works, and a report on the review will be due by the end of the year. Spain is the latest country that has joined in on protests against the U.S.’s surveillance tactics; others include Germany, France, Brazil, and Mexico.
Trick-or-treating takes a tasteless turn, http://rtvote.com/1g9uU2E
Halloween is right around the corner, and so are some of the most offensive costumes in Halloween history. Some of the more tasteless trick-or-treaters are donning Ariel Castro costumes, blackface costumes, and even Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman costumes. There has been a backlash on social media sites (rightfully so) against such getups, and the Utah Jazz and Julianne Hough have received such criticism.

Report: White House knew plans would be canceled under ACA,http://rtvote.com/1gY57eY
About 50%-75% of 14 million consumers who buy health insurance individually will have their plans cancelled in the next year because their current policies fail to meet the standards of the Affordable Care Act. Initially, the White House said that policies in effect as of March 23, 2010, could be kept even if they did not meet the requirements of the new healthcare law. The Department of Health and Human Services later narrowed that provision. NBC News reports that the Obama administration has known for three years that people’s insurance would be canceled. The White House has responded that those whose policies are voided will be automatically shifted to plans with better protections. Additionally, they claim that nothing in the Affordable Care Act forces people out of their plans, but the failure of some plans to meet the new minimum standards should be expected.

Orange Is the New Black season seven, which is streaming now on Netflix, has an emotional end credits sequence that sees the cast members say their final goodbyes while a song about the show plays. The song at the end of OITNB was specially written for the series and is sung by a cast member of the Netflix show. The OITNB ending also features a new version of the theme tune by Regina Spektor.
What song is at the end of Orange Is the New Black?
The song in the end credits of OITNB is a track called Seasons by Danielle Brooks.
If the name sounds familiar, it is because Brooks plays Tasha ‘Taystee’ Jefferson on the Netflix show.
Fans of the song can find it on Brooks’ new EP, Four, which was released in late July.
Orange Is the New Black fans have heard a number of references to the show in the song’s lyrics.
They read: “Wish I could play that moment over / Eyes red and crazy, We were dumb broke and hungry.
“So we scraped up all our nickels and we out to Spanish Harlem / Got drunk off hooch from Gloria’s.
“Seasons pass us by and we think that we’ve got time.
“But here we are at the end, it’s hard to let you go.
“I’ll miss you more than you know, and I won’t forget how you made me feel.”
As well as featuring this new song from Brooks, the Orange Is the New Black season seven finale also featured a rerecorded version of You’ve Got Time, the Regina Spektor song that has been the OITNB theme tune since the show started in 2013.
In a statement about the so-called ‘Chamber Version’ of You’ve Got Time, Spektor said: “What a special world [OITNB showrunner] Jenji [Kohan] created and invited us all into.
“Over the years it was a privilege to see the Orange family grow and expand and experiment.
“Making a new interpretation of the song felt like a fitting way to say goodbye.”
The original version of You’ve Got Time was recorded specially for the series.
It saw Spektor nominated for her first Grammy when she got a nod in the Best Song Written for Visual Media category.
However, she lost out to Adele’s James Bond theme Skyfall.
Orange Is the New Black seasons 1-7 are streaming on Netflix now.

GLITZ EVENTS WITH FUNKE OLAODE
The atmosphere was exhilarating as the vibes coming from the band further charged the environment. The crowd drawn from all sectors of the economy later added colour to the atmosphere in their colourful attire as they trooped into the expansive residence of their host in Ikoyi. Indeed, it was an evening of pomp and pageantry as America serenaded Nigerians in an impressive way to mark this year’s independence. On Tuesday, July 2, 2019, United States Ambassador to Nigeria, W. Stuart Symington and the Consul-General, Mr. F. John Bray hosted dignitaries to celebrate 243 Independence anniversary of a country regarded as the most powerful in the world. This year, America added glamour to its celebration by introducing fireworks, which rocked the skies to the admiration of all the invited guests.
As early as 5 pm, Nigeria’s high society trooped out: from the past governors, banking chiefs, captains of industry, traditional rulers, the media and the diplomatic community. The soul music from a band provided an ambience of comfort for all invited guests as they smiled, exchanged banters catching up with old times. The hospitality of the Americans was also on display as there was enough food just as drinks flowed freely.
In his address, Ambassador Symington extolled the virtue of Nigeria despite its ethnicity. According to him, Nigeria is not just a country; Nigeria is not just a nation. Nigeria was not just drawn on a map to bind first as a colony and later as free women and men. This country, Nigeria, is an idea, an idea very familiar to every American.
“It is an idea that people who speak 497 different languages that are twice as many languages that are spoken on any given day in the United Nations, 497 different tongues coming together, Nigeria is the idea.
“This, by the way, for 243 years, it has been the dream of the United States to take people separated and divided into colonies with different rulers and bring them together as a nation. The Nigerian idea is an idea that is truly shared by the US.”
Speaking further, Symington said:: “What makes a nation are people and infrastructural development. And this according to him can only be achieved by educating and empowering every girl and every woman so that they can see their future with two eyes and can grab it with two arms and not one.
“A great asset to Nigeria is for all those who lead and all the subjects they represent, to come together to make this nation one nation bound in freedom with peace and unity and in this process, you can count on the US for we believe in your ideas and we profoundly believe in you. We also believe that the world will be better if it begins with Nigeria.”
The representative of the Ministry of Foreign affairs, Obioma Nzewuji, said Nigeria is happy to celebrate the very essence of American progress, the spirit that defines the unity of its people for more than two centuries. Both countries have collaborated in different fields and the United States has demonstrated to be a trusted and reliable friend to Nigeria.
Nzewuji said, “We express profound appreciation to the United States government for the various forms of assistance given to Nigeria over the years, especially more recently in our fight against insurgency in the North-East. The humanitarian aids provided by the US Agency for International Development (USAID) does a demonstration of goodwill and cordiality exist between our two countries.”

Authors, if you want readers to find and buy your book, you have to do some marketing—perhaps a lot of marketing—especially via online media. To grab reader attention, you’ll need graphics, those appealing images of your book coordinated with text and set against an eye-catching background. Sure, professional graphic designers can create amazing book graphics, but so can you. This blog will get you started.
What graphics do you need?
As you develop your platform and marketing plan, create a list of the graphics you’ll need. Consider the following uses:
- images for blog posts
- paid advertisements
- social media banners
- social media posts
- website banners
And consider the following content for your graphics:
- book cover and art only
- endorsement quotes (short quotes from others lauding your book)
- marketing copy (salesy language announcing the launch, sales, editions)
- text quotes (short quotes from your book)
Canva is a graphic-design platform for creating visual content. It’s the go-to site for many people who aren’t graphic designers, and the free version is just fine for making book graphics. There are numerous YouTube videos about using Canva, so I won’t attempt a tutorial here, but rest assured it has much of what you’ll need, including templates, backgrounds, fonts, images, shapes, colors, and so on.
You’ll need a high-quality PNG file of your book cover with a transparent background. You’ll also need a feel for what you like and don’t like, so spend some time scrolling social media and author websites.
Tips and considerations for choosing visual style
Personal preference aside, your graphics have to work for your subject matter and audience. Look at the bestsellers in your genre and notice the overall feel and style of the related images on websites and social media (think pink hearts versus bloody knives, cowboy boots versus wingtips, sexy versus wholesome, dark versus light).
Your background should be just that, a background. It should showcase your images and text but not overpower them or be distracting. Gradients and subtle textures are often good choices. Using a color or pattern from your cover is another idea. If you use a pattern, consider blurring it so it’s not distracting (you can blur an image in Canva). Here are examples of a texture and a gradient:
Your book cover (or cover art) should be on most of your graphics so potential readers see it over and over again. You can use it as a flat image or make a 3-D version that looks more like a book. (You can do this in Canva, but now might be a good time to hire a graphic designer to spend an hour or so in Photoshop to make several 3-D images for you). Consider giving your cover image some depth by using a shadow (available in Canva), a glow (also available in Canva), or making a little shelf for your book to sit on, like this:
Fonts are super important for book marketing. It’s critical that your text is readable, often in just a fraction of a second. You’ll want to do some research about serif fonts, sans serif fonts, font pairings, readability, and what’s appropriate for your genre. (For a Book Brush article on font pairing by genre, click here.)
Your text, whether it’s text quotes, endorsement quotes, or marketing copy, should be short. Most book graphics simply aren’t a good vehicle for a lot of text. You can use hierarchy—indicated by font, size, color, and style (such as bold, all caps, italics)—to direct your reader’s attention. This graphic, for example, focuses the reader on the giveaway:
Finally, the size of your graphic is important. Website banners, social media posts, blog thumbnails, videos—everything, really—requires a certain size. I’m referring to the actual width and height of your graphic, not its file or memory size. Instagram, for example, requires graphics or photos to be 1080 x 1080 pixels, which, roughly speaking and depending on your screen, equates to 11 x 11 inches. If your graphic is too small or too large, the platform will stretch or compress it, which will make it blurry.
Ideas for finding photos
In addition to creating graphics with your cover and text, you might also want to use stock photos just as they are. Stock photos are commonly used on websites and for blog headers. Here are three sites where you can get free images: Unsplash, Pixabay, and Pexels.
Another thing to consider is taking your own pictures. Photos of a book in a beautiful setting or among creative or interesting items is a popular trend on some media platforms. Today’s smartphones are so sophisticated that they can take photos that are great for digital use.
Final tricks for great graphics
Making book graphics will take practice and rounds of editing. Two little editing tricks for you: leave a graphic open on your screen and walk away for a period of time. When you come back to it, trust your eye—if something is off, work on it some more. Another trick when you’re not satisfied with a graphic is to simplify it by removing elements rather than adding anything or making it fancier.
Creating your own marketing graphics might seem like a lot to figure out, but you can do this. Many authors aren’t keen on marketing, but this task is creative and fun!

|A few years ago I built a PC with a fast, water-cooled CPU, lots of ram, and a big hard drive. Basically, I made the best desktop/development computer you could for around $1200 at the time. Some things happened since then, and it's not been used or even turned on in a couple years. Now I want to use it again & when I hooked it up & pushed the power button, it came on for a second, then turned off. It just won't power up anymore.|
I haven't been inside a computer since I built this one, but I'm no stranger to them. I'm 37 now & built my first one when I was 13. Anyway, so I've done everything I can think of to troubleshoot this problem: blew out dust, reconnected power cables, disconnected all peripherals (even hard drives, CD, etc.), reseated RAM, removed RAM completely, removed CMOS battery, nothing has worked so far. Obviously, searching online hasn't provided any suggestions that have fixed my problem either.
At one point I was able to get it to boot up & it got to the BIOS & started reading the hard drive & Windows said it had detected a failed startup and it was going to try to fix the problem. It said it might restart itself multiple times during the process. I left it for some time while it claimed to be fixing it. I left the room & when I came back, it was off. I powered it back on & the same thing happened, Windows detected startup problem & was going to fix it. I left the room again, for just a few seconds this time & when I returned, it was off again. I tried again, but from this point forward it won't power on at all.
The hardware is a few years old, but it's all still in very like-new condition. It only had only been used for a few months before being put in storage. I would be extremely surprised if any of the hardware components (PSU, CPU, RAM, Fans, etc.) have failed causing this problem. I don't have any extra components (spare CPU's, PSU's, etc.) to swap out to test, but as I said, they are quite new and it is very unlikely that they have failed already.
What should I do to get this thing running again?

Slowmist Statistics said that the crypto industry lost more than $30 billion to hackers.
The crypto industry has lost a lot of funds to malicious players such as hackers. This is a result of code flaws and other vulnerabilities overlooked by developers. Others are the result of scams. SlowMist recently gave an update on these losses and raised concerns about the need for enlightenment on the part of users and developers to make security a top priority in the industry.
Emphasis on security
In a post on Twitter, the blockchain security company wrote,
“According to our SlowMist Hacked archives, as of July 7, 2023, the total losses from blockchain-related incidents have soared to an astounding $30 billion! In light of these staggering numbers, it’s abundantly clear that projects and users alike need to place a much higher emphasis on security within the realm of blockchain technology.”
A breakdown of the report said that the crypto industry has lost $30,011,604,576.24 to hackers. The statistics from the website show that these losses were the result of one thousand, one hundred and one hack events that mostly happened from 2019 to 2021.
Hack distribution by ecosystem
The chart from the platform shows that there have been 58 blockchain hacks, 118 exchange hacks, and 38 wallet hacks. The Ethereum ecosystem has suffered the most breaches with 217 attacks, followed by Binance Smart Chain with 162 hacks. EOS has suffered 119 attacks, while the NFT ecosystem has been hacked 85 times.
The highest losses are still from the crypto-centralized exchanges, which account for more than $10 billion. The report said that the most common attacks are contract vulnerabilities and flash loan attacks. Private keys leaked, Discord was hacked, and transaction congestion attacks occurred.
There have been 137 vulnerability attacks, 106 rug pulls, 87 flash loan attacks, 52 scams, and 38 private key leaks.


ADVOCACY AND SETTING THE NATIONAL AGENDA
The Jaffa Convention was inaugurated in November 2005, the first national gathering to set a public agenda, focusing on equity and bridging the gaps between Israel’s Jewish and Arab citizens.
The Citizens' Accord Forum established the Jaffa Convention in recognition of the influence that a national conference has in forming priorities, and in commanding public attention and awareness. CAF, in partnership with the Arab-Jewish Community Center in Jaffa, first established the Convention to influence government policy and raise public awareness.
Today, the Jaffa Convention is a prominent fixture on the national calendar. Policymakers and Civil society leaders view the annual convention as a guiding force and pacesetter on issues of equality and civil rights.
Jaffa Convention 2015
Jaffa Convention 2012
The convention has become the central platform for discussion of topics regarding Jewish-Arab relations, and the rights of the Arab citizen’s of Israel. It has become the place where participants from across the political spectrum – people who could not be found anywhere else under the same roof - come together in order to confront the most pressing issues that plague Jewish-Arab relations.
The annual conference goes beyond presentations of studies, analysis of data, and exchange of views – it is unique in initiating practical "Calls to Action" that address tangible issues. In addition to the annual conference, the Jaffa Convention provides the framework for our research projects and our ongoing advocacy work.

Chase Center, Vermont Law School
South Royalton, VT
The Vermont Agency of Agriculture, Food, and Markets, in conjunction with the Northeast Association of State Departments of Agriculture (NEASDA), will host an open Listening Session to offer farmers and food processors an opportunity to provide comment on new supplemental rules proposed by the federal Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA).
Attendees will have an opportunity to pose questions to and seek clarification from a panel of subject matter experts from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that will be present at the meeting. The listening session will take place from 9:00am – 1:00pm in the Chase Center located at the Vermont Law School in South Royalton, VT. While oriented towards regional farmers and food processors specifically, this listening session is open to all interested parties from across the northeast.
FSMA, the most sweeping reform of our nation’s food safety laws in more than 70 years, was signed into law by President Obama on January 4, 2011. FSMA aims to ensure the safety of the U.S. food supply by shifting the focus from responding to contamination to preventing it. On September 29th, 2014, the FDA released proposed supplemental rules to four of the seven existing rules, largely the result of an unprecedented level of comments and valuable input received from farmers and others directly affected by these regulations.

You canï¿½t make REAL smoked beans with canned beans.
Try this recipe and if you donï¿½t like it you donï¿½t like smoked beans. It requires some preparation, but not much. Cedar Key Smoked Beans
The ingredients are:
3 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, chopped fine
2 California Bay Laurel leaves (Turkish Bay will do)
1 cured ham hocks
1 pound dried beans (I use Pintos) soaked overnight and drained.
1 Tablespoon ground cumin
2 canned chipotle peppers (I use the ones in adobe sauce)
optional: 4 poblano or New Mexico red peppers, roasted, seeded and chopped or 1 can chilis.
4 tomatoes, seeded and chopped or one large can of chopped tomatoes.
1 bunch fresh cilantro leaves
Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
3 Tablespoon honey. Less honey if you like it spicy or more if you like it mild
In a large pot over medium-high heat add olive oil. When the oil is hot add the onion, garlic, bay leaves and ham hock, cook for 5 minutes. Add the beans and stir in the cumin, chipotles, chiles, tomatoes and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper. Pour in enough water to cover the beans by one inch and bring to a boil. Cover and cook over medium-low heat until the beans are almost tender, about 40 minutes. Remove the bay leaves and ham hock. Bone the ham hock and return the meat to the beans and add the honey. Put beans in a ceramic pot uncovered and place in the top shelf of the Cookshack and leave there while smoking your butts or ribs.
I have never had beans any better. Bush Beans!

It’s difficult to know what’s happening in Syria not only because of the confusing violence but because the Western news media has lost nearly all credibility when it comes to reporting on Muslim countries, at least those on America’s and Israel’s enemies lists. William Blum explained the dilemma at the Anti-Empire Report.
By William Blum
The Holy Triumvirate, the United States, NATO, and the European Union, or an approved segment thereof, can usually get what they want.
They wanted Saddam Hussein out, and soon he was swinging from a rope. They wanted the Taliban ousted from power in Afghanistan, and, using overwhelming force, that was achieved rather quickly. They wanted Muammar Gaddafi’s rule to come to an end, and before very long he suffered a horrible death. Haiti’s President Jean-Bertrand Aristide was democratically elected, but this black man who didn’t know his place was sent into distant exile by the United States and France in 2004.
Iraq and Libya were the two most modern, educated and secular states in the Middle East; now all four of these countries could qualify as failed states.
These are some of the examples from the past decade of how the Holy Triumvirate recognizes no higher power and believes, literally, that they can do whatever they want in the world, to whomever they want, for as long as they want, and call it whatever they want, like “humanitarian intervention.” The 19th- and 20th-century colonialist-imperialist mentality is alive and well in the West.
Next on their agenda: the removal of Bashar al-Assad of Syria. As with Gaddafi, the ground is being laid with continual news reports, from CNN to al Jazeera, of Assad’s alleged barbarity, presented as both uncompromising and unprovoked.
After months of this media onslaught who can doubt that what’s happening in Syria is yet another of those cherished Arab Spring “popular uprisings” against a “brutal dictator” who must be overthrown? And that the Assad government is overwhelmingly the cause of the violence.
Assad actually appears to have a large measure of popularity, not only in Syria, but elsewhere in the Middle East. This includes not just fellow Alawites, but Syria’s two million Christians and no small number of Sunnis. Gaddafi had at least as much support in Libya and elsewhere in Africa.
The difference between the two cases, at least so far, is that the Holy Triumvirate bombed and machine-gunned Libya daily for seven months, unceasingly, crushing the pro-government forces, as well as Gaddafi himself, and effecting the Triumvirate’s treasured “regime change.”
Now, rampant chaos, anarchy, looting and shooting, revenge murders, tribal war, militia war, religious war, civil war, the most awful racism against the black population, loss of their cherished welfare state, and possible dismemberment of the country into several mini-states are the new daily life for the Libyan people.
The capital city of Tripoli is “wallowing in four months of uncollected garbage” because the landfill is controlled by a faction that doesn’t want the trash of another faction. [Washington Post, April 1, 2012]. Just imagine what has happened to the country’s infrastructure.
This may be what Syria has to look forward to if the Triumvirate gets its way, although the Masters of the Universe undoubtedly believe that the people of Libya should be grateful to them for their “liberation.”
As to the current violence in Syria, we must consider the numerous reports of forces providing military support to the Syrian rebels, the UK, France, the U.S., Turkey, Israel, Qatar, the Gulf states, and everyone’s favorite champion of freedom and democracy, Saudi Arabia; with Syria claiming to have captured some 14 French soldiers; plus individual jihadists and mercenaries from Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq, Libya, et al, joining the anti-government forces, their number including al-Qaeda veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan who are likely behind the car bombs in an attempt to create chaos and destabilize the country.
This may mark the third time the United States has been on the same side as al-Qaeda, adding to Afghanistan and Libya.
Stratfor, the private and conservative American intelligence firm with high-level connections, reported that “most of the opposition’s more serious claims have turned out to be grossly exaggerated or simply untrue.”
Opposition groups including the Syrian National Council, the Free Syrian Army and the London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights began disseminating “claims that regime forces besieged Homs and imposed a 72-hour deadline for Syrian defectors to surrender themselves and their weapons or face a potential massacre.” That news made international headlines.
Stratfor’s investigation, however, found “no signs of a massacre,” and declared that “opposition forces have an interest in portraying an impending massacre, hoping to mimic the conditions that propelled a foreign military intervention in Libya.”
Stratfor added that any suggestions of massacres are unlikely because the Syrian “regime has calibrated its crackdowns to avoid just such a scenario. Regime forces have been careful to avoid the high casualty numbers that could lead to an intervention based on humanitarian grounds.” [Huffington Post, Dec. 19, 2011]
Reva Bhalla, Stratfor’s Director of Analysis, reported in a December 2011 email on a meeting she attended at the Pentagon about Syria: “After a couple hours of talking, they said without saying that SOF [Special Operation Forces] teams (presumably from US, UK, France, Jordan, Turkey) are already on the ground focused on recce [reconnaissance] missions and training opposition forces.”
We know of Bhalla’s comments thanks to the 5 million Stratfor emails obtained by the Internet hacker group Anonymous in December and passed on to Wikileaks. [See the document on WikiLeaks]
Human Rights Watch has reported that both Syrian government security forces and Syria’s armed rebels have committed serious human rights abuses, including kidnappings, torture, and executions.
But only the Holy Triumvirate can get away with the sanctions they love to impose. Assad’s wife is now banned from traveling to EU countries and any assets she may have there are frozen. Same for Assad’s mother, sister and sister-in-law, as well as eight of his government ministers. Assad himself received the same treatment last May. [Washington Post, March 24, 2012] Because the Triumvirate can.
On March 25, the U.S. and Turkish governments announced that they were discussing sending non-lethal aid to the Syrian opposition, implying quite clearly that until then they had not been engaged in such activity. [Washington Post, March 26, 2012]
But according to a U.S. embassy cable, revealed by Wikileaks, since at least 2006 the United States has been funding political opposition groups in Syria as well as the London-based satellite TV channel, Barada TV, run by Syrian exiles, that beams anti-government programming into the country.
The cable further stated that Syrian authorities “would undoubtedly view any U.S. funds going to illegal political groups as tantamount to supporting regime change.”
Regime change in Syria has been on the neo-conservative wish list since at least 2002 when John Bolton, Undersecretary of State under George W. Bush, came up with a project to simultaneously break up Libya and Syria. He called the two states along with Cuba “The Axis Of Evil.” On a FOX News appearance in 2011 Bolton said that the United States should have overthrown the Syrian government right after they overthrew Saddam Hussein.
Amongst Syria’s crimes have been their close relations with Iran, Hezbollah (in Lebanon), the Palestinian resistance, and Russia, and Syria’s failure to conclude a peace treaty with Israel, unlike Jordan and Egypt; all this constituting evidence to the Holy Triumvirate of Syria, like Aristide, being “uppity.”
The clinical megalomania of the Holy Triumvirate can scarcely be exaggerated. And never prosecuted.
A closing word from Cui Tiankai, Chinese vice foreign minister for United States affairs: “The U.S. has the strongest military in the world and spends more than any other country. But the U.S. always feels unsafe or insecure about other countries. … I suggest the United States spend more time thinking about how to make other countries feel less worried about the United States. [Washington Post, Jan. 10, 2012]

Nagpur: Schools and colleges should encourage students to take part in street plays and theatre activities and help preserve folk culture
which has been an important aspect of Maharashtrian culture, said Santosh Girhe of the Hindi department of Nagpur University on Saturday.
He was speaking on the opening day of a two-day National Marathi Sahitya Sanshodhan Sammelan
that got underway at Vanamati Hall, Dharampeth. President of Marathi Sahitya Sammelan Aruna Dhere, Madan Kulkarni, Vishwanath Shinde, G B Deglurkar, Vijay Deshmukh and Rajendra Watane were present.
Girhe said students and people should come forward to preserve the rich cultural identity of Maharashtra for which awareness should be created in the society to ensure that the literature
and traditional forms of art are promoted.
“Folk literature and plays help conserve the originality of any language. Being a student of literature, we want the teachers and students to take their language subjects seriously and we appreciate the efforts of the mandal to conduct such a programme about,” said Girhe.
Harishchandra Borkar said, “Any kind of a literature, whether Hindi or Marathi, must be preserved. In the earlier education system, these subjects were taught diligently. But now the modern literature has taken the front seat. The importance of street or folk plays must also be included as a subject in schools.”
Madan Kulkarni, who conducted the programme said, “Marathi is a rich language and many poets and writers have contributed immensely. There are exceptional stories, novels, theatre scripts, biopics and other forms of literature which have made Marathi language rich in content.”
He however lamented that today’s generation is drifting away from the language and preferring. rather they must choose their mother-tongue as a subject to do study,” said Madan Kulkarni.
Noted littérateur and researcher GB Deglurkar was conferred the prestigious ‘Sanshodhan Maharshi Puraskar’ by presenting him with a shawl, memento and bouquet.
Replying to the felicitation, Deglurkar said, “I feel honoured to receive this award in front of distinguished personalities who are multi-talented when it comes to studying Marathi literature. It has been a long journey and I have seen literature evolve over the years.”
“I want today’s generation to carry forward the legacy of Marathi as it is a beautiful language which connects and carries emotions, speech and life within,” said Deglurkar.
The programme was followed by three different segments in which renowned writers and orators expressed their views on a variety of subjects addressing the importance of Marathi literature. The theme highlighted the importance of folk and modern literature.
Shaileja Devgavkar, writer, Panjab Pandhurkar of the Marathi department of Mahatma Phule Mahavidyalaya, Warud and Lakhansingh Katre, member of Maharashtra Rajya Sahitya and Sanskruti Mandal who spoke about the importance of folk literature in local dialect.
This segment was preceded by Manisha Nagpure. “Literature plays a vital role in telling about the importance of any community and society. Similarly, folk literature and theatre is the backbone of our society,” said Pundarkar and Katre, in unanimity.
Two events will be conducted on November 24 to discuss topics such as personalities of folk and saint literature.


This January, a new Horizon 2020 project was launched to simplify the establishment, management, adaptation, and monitoring of dynamic, cross-organisational manufacturing processes following Cloud manufacturing principles in Europe.
European researchers have been awarded over €5 Million to develop the means to model, configure, execute, and monitor manufacturing processes, providing end-to-end support for Cloud manufacturing by implementing real systems and testing and demonstrating them in real manufacturing environments.
While the theoretical foundations for Cloud manufacturing are manifest and easy to follow, there is a lack of real world implementations and applications of this concept, let alone production-line demonstrations. Still, no proven tools and technologies exist in the market to provide valuable end-to-end integration ICT solutions applying Cloud manufacturing principles. Thus, current approaches do not allow for the necessary innovation and higher management and operational efficiency in networked operations – this project aims to change this fact by providing Cloud-based Rapid Elastic MAnufacturing (CREMA).
CREMA focuses on cross-organisational processes, realizing “Design Anywhere, Manufacturing Anywhere”. Hence, it does not matter where single parts of the manufacturing process are carried out – CREMA will provide the means to integrate data from distributed locations as if the complete manufacturing was carried out on the same shop floor, by integrating extra- and inter-plant manufacturing assets and making them “mobile”.
CREMA brings together Ascora (Germany) , TANet (UK) , DFKI (Germany), Ikerlan (Spain), Technische Universitat Wien (Austria), Ubisense, Tenneco-Walker (UK), Fagor Arrasate (Spain), Goizper (Spain), ICE (UK) and Dot Net IT (UK).


The South African Reserve Bank’s (SARB’s) Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) has voted to hold interest rates for the fourth consecutive meeting.
The first interest rate decision for the new year leaves the repo rate at 8.25%, with the prime lending rate at 11.75%.
The bank’s decision was unanimous and falls in line with market consensus.
While the SARB has acknowledged the easing inflationary environment, the bank remained hawkish, warning that the risks to the inflation outlook remain on the upside – particularly around food inflation, the power and the logistics and infrastructure crises.
Reserve Bank governor Lesetja Kganyago said that at the current repurchase rate level, the policy is restrictive, consistent with the inflation outlook and the need to address rising inflation expectations.
“Serious upside risks to the inflation trajectory from global and domestic sources are evident, and the economic outlook is highly uncertain,” he said.
“While our baseline inflation forecast is of continued gradual moderation in global and domestic inflation, the risks to the outlook are still assessed to the upside. Better than expected global growth last year and ongoing geo-political tensions this year serve to keep global oil markets tight,” he said.
Local fuel price inflation is expected to be low, averaging below 1% in 2024. Food price inflation is revised slightly higher for 2024, to 5.7%, but remains broadly unchanged over the forecast period.
Core inflation was 4.9% in 2023. The core inflation forecast for 2024 and 2025 is little changed at 4.6%, and 4.5% in 2026.
Services inflation in 2023 was 4.2%. The forecast for 2024 services price inflation remains unchanged at 4.8%.
Speaking on South Africans struggling with money and being in recession in terms of their ability to spend, Kganyago said this was one of the key reasons for its policy moves.
“Disposable income is weak, in real terms – this means adjusted for inflation. So inflation is eating people’s disposable income and restricting their ability to spend. So if people are to have (disposable income) in the future, you’ve got to rein in inflation,” he said.
“Failure to rein in inflation means you are eroding the purchasing power of (households).”
Looking ahead to possible cuts, Kganyago said that the bank’s position remains the same: future interest rate decisions will depend on the data available during the MPC meeting.
The governor previously noted that interest rates won’t be cut until the inflation rate is back in the middle of its target range (3% to 6%) sustainably. Kganyago specified a few prints of low inflation do not make a trend.
He reiterated that the SARB is a “flexible inflation targetter”, and there is not yet a discernable trend that inflation is returning to the bank’s target.
“Unless inflation gets there in a sustainable manner – don’t expect us to recalibrate policy,” he said.

Anyone purchased elephant ivory grips from Boone Trading Company? I am tempted but don't want to buy sight unseen. If you have them, are they thicker than the standard 1911 grip? How about delivery times? Thanks.
I have also purchased elephant ivory grips from Boone trading. They had a set in stock and described them perfectly. Three days later I was mailed a beautiful set of grips. They are the same size as standard grips as far as I can tell. I would buy from them again if necessary. Their phone number is 1-800-423-1945. Their ivory runs between $150-$215 depending on grade. Hope this helps.
Just noticed that the grips will not fit guns with an "Ambi" safety. There is no notch cut for it. I suppose you need to request this when ordering...no problem though, I'll just put them on another gun.

A decade of RuPaul’s Drag Race and its spinoffs have proven that camera-ready, show-stopping drag is not for the faint of heart. And according to a new VICE report, it doesn’t always favor the financially underprivileged, either.
While the international exposure of RuPaul’s competitions has undoubtedly catapulted queens like Aquaria, Bob the Drag Queen, Trixie Mattel, and countless others to household names, the expenses they’ve had to front for said exposure is massive, several queens told VICE.
Between buying wigs (VICE reports that custom synthetic looks can start at $325; high quality human hair starts at $1,000) and clothing materials (Plastic or glass jewels? Custom fit or off-the-rack?) to impress Rupaul’s prestigious cadre of laser-eyed judges, fees can easily top thousands of dollars.
Sasha Velour said she spent a total of $4,000 for her looks on Season 9, half of which came from savings; the other half was loaned to her by her father. Season 11 winner Yvie Oddly, whose trash-glam aesthetic often polarized fellow contestants and judges, told VICE she spent upwards of $14,000 on her wardrobe, emptying $2,000 in her bank account before turning to a $5,000 credit card loan from her creative partner and $7,000 a bar where she worked “sponsored” her with. Season 10 winner Aquaria spent $5,000, and said that as a cost-conscious New Yorker, money was constantly on her mind as she prepared to compete.
“I really didn’t have the money,” the tenacious Season 10 contestant Monique Hart told VICE. “I had maybe $1,500 total. I could sew, and I knew my silhouette, so I could make stuff work. I knew I had personality and flavor. I mean, it was just hard.” On Untucked following her elimination, she confessed to using her limited downtime on the show trying to perfect or make new runway pieces on the spot, which often affected her ability to learn lyrics for the week’s lip sync challenges. (Monique’s later appearance on All Stars 4 proved more fruitful, as she had $20,000 to spend and more time to prepare her looks, ultimately becoming that season’s runner-up.)
Judges often deem that some queens’ runway looks are “cheap” or “too DIY.” Velour, on one hand, was praised for her inventiveness on the show, once creating an iconic jack-in-the-box look for what she said cost $60 and included heels from Target. But in the case of the late Chi Chi DeVayne, an exchange in Season 8 represents how contestants can be penalized for pushing back on judes’ criticisms. After revealing that her Episode 4 Neon Queen Realness look nearly bankrupted her, Michelle Visage responded without mercy. “You don’t need money, girl,” Visage said. “That’s never an excuse.”
Sheer ingenuity would ideally allow for any charismatic queen to turn a trash bag into a couture piece, a point often made by RuPaul, a noted self-made multimillionaire who literally once wore trash and asked for money when getting her start in the ‘80s in New York.
There’s also the issue of cost for fit. Off-the-rack clothes that are more affordable often don’t suit drag queens who are broader, wider, and have more diverse body shapes — factors that don’t even account for breast or butt pads. “I have to get my stuff made custom if I want my gown to touch the floor, my sleeves to touch my wrist,” Bob the Drag Queen told VICE.
Furthermore, Monique Hart pointed out the racial divide between contestants of means (whether connections, finances, privilege, or otherwise) versus those without. “I think a lot of times, because of where Black and brown people grow up, they don't have that safety of expression that I think white people have,” Monique told VICE. “And because of that lack of expression, and that lack of exposure to different forms of expression, I think that sometimes we are just confined to that which we know.”
She continued: “White homos tend to know other rich white homos with money… or if they don’t have money, they know someone who does. If you're a Black girl, that's generally not what's happening.”
Regardless of the various challenges in competing, being on Drag Race at all can be a boon for any aspiring drag star’s career, often leading to better gigs and higher booking fees. Most queens agree that the initial return of investment is worth sacrifices made to become more visible. And the most booked and blessed stars – like Alyssa Edwards, who starred in a reality show about her Dallas dance studio and is set to star in a one-woman show this fall on London’s West End; or Monet X Change, who was in a Pepsi Superbowl commercial with Cardi B; or Miss Peppermint, who recently appeared on Broadway and was booked for the 2021 Inauguration entertainment lineup; or even Shangela and Willam, who both appeared in Lady Gaga’s A Star Is Born – are all testament to just how far charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent can take a queen.

Why does my dog pee after a bath? It’s common for puppies to pee after bath time, but even older dogs may exhibit this behavior from time to time. Why does my dog pee after a bath? After all, you just took him outside to do his business! Well, there are several reasons your dog might do this, and most aren’t even related to the bath itself. Understanding why this happens and what you can do about it will help reduce stress and anxiety. Let’s dive in!
1) A full bladder
A dog’s body is made to be able to go for many hours without peeing. That’s because it can’t pee on its own, so it needs help from the muscles in the bladder. If a dog has to go potty but can’t make it outside, he’ll have an accident in his crate or on the rug. When you bathe your dog and dry him off, you’re giving his skin time to get used to being wet again after being dry for a while. This can cause him to need to go potty! So if your pup pees right after getting out of the tub, give him some time before putting him back in his crate or on his bed.
Sometimes, pets will pee after being bathed to relieve themselves of stress. This is common in both dogs and cats. The animal may be stressed because they are not familiar with the bathing process, so it is essential to use gentle movements when handling them. They may also have been taken too harshly during the bath and feel uncomfortable afterward. This is why it’s always important to handle animals with care and ensure they are not scared or startled during the bathing process.
3) An infection
A common misconception is that dogs get infections after being bathed. However, bathing can cause an infection due to the dog’s wet skin, which provides an ideal environment for bacteria to grow. This is especially true if your dog has been sitting in water for extended periods before or during their bath. Dogs may also experience skin irritation from chemicals in shampoos and conditioners. If you notice your dog’s skin becomes dry and itchy, don’t use harsh chemical cleaners or scrubbing pads to exfoliate their skin, and always bathe them in lukewarm water, as this will help keep any bacteria growth at bay.
4) Fear or anxiety
If your dog is peeing after a bath, it could be due to fear or anxiety. Your dog may associate baths with being punished. It’s not unusual for dogs to defecate and urinate during bathing, especially if they’re unfamiliar with the situation. Some dogs also do this when feeling anxious, like before vet visits. This is how they relieve themselves of any pent-up nervous energy that might cause them to act out unpredictably.
The first possibility for your dog peeing after a bath is that it may be in pain from the bathing process. As the water hits your pet, it can make the skin and fur tingle, which might cause discomfort or even pain. The water can also be too hot and burn your dog’s skin when they’re trying to shake off the excess liquid. It’s not uncommon for dogs to try to shake off their wet fur after being bathed, but if they have sensitive skin, this could also hurt. Another possible reason your pet might be peeing after bathing is that they are trying to get out of being in the bathtub because of fear of drowning.
6) Too many baths in one day
While it’s true that dogs will usually pee after being bathed, the cause of this may not be what you think. Take frequent baths in one day, for example: if your dog is bathed too often and doesn’t have enough time to dry off before being rewashed, they’re more likely to pee out of stress.
Another possible reason could be that your dog had an accident while being bathed, or they may have been given a type of shampoo that made them uncomfortable. If none of these seem to apply to you, then it could be as simple as not giving your pup enough water before bathing them–they’re always thirsty after!
7) Dirty litter box
Dirty litter box. If your dog has started peeing after baths, and you know they just had a potty break, there’s probably been an issue with the litter box. Puppies (or even older dogs) who have never had accidents may make this mistake because their litter boxes are too dirty. Check for urine in the chest; if there is any, scoop it out and clean the entire thing with soap and water. Allow it to dry completely before putting fresh litter back in.
A dog’s sense of smell is its most acute sense. They have a more acute sense of smell than humans and are always on high alert. So, when confined in small spaces or given synthetic scents like bath soap, they feel uncomfortable and want to get out. They get anxious because they can’t escape the confinement or find their way out of the house even though there might be an open door or window right in front of them. The anxiety causes them to pee so they can mark the area as theirs. Sometimes, their bladder is simply complete, and they don’t know how else to let it out without going potty inside the house, which makes us mad at them for soiling the carpet.
9) Medical Issue
The most likely cause of your pup’s post-bath peeing is that he’s going to the bathroom because he’s too excited. This could be the case if you’ve just had him at the vet, and they think everything is normal. The dog might also feel embarrassed that they have wet themselves and are trying to cover it up with more urine. Some dogs may need to pee from drinking so much water before or during their bath.
This can also happen if an issue with the bladder or urinary tract causes pain when they urinate. Your pup might also be uncomfortable after being in a kennel for a few days and is using this as an opportunity to relieve himself in his private space.
The most common reason for urinating after a bath is diabetes. Urinary tract infections are also possible, but these are less likely than diabetes and require further testing to diagnose. Diabetes mellitus is companion animals’ most common endocrine disease and can be diagnosed by taking blood sugar measurements. Diabetes is often caused by overeating or exercising too little, especially in middle-aged to older dogs.
The body’s response to the high blood sugar level is to excrete more water through the kidneys, which leads to increased urination. If your dog has diabetes, he will need medication and an appropriate diet that includes moderate exercise. Proper management of diabetes can prevent it from causing blindness, heart disease, kidney damage, and other complications.
