12/9/20 – Cleo has gone off to her new home. Have a lovely time, Cleo!
Cleopatra (Cleo for short) is a 9-year-old Basset Hound who came into the Oldies Club rescue due to a change in her family’s circumstances. She is in an Oldies Club foster home in Gosport, Hampshire.
Cleo’s ideal home: Cleo would love to live with someone who is home a lot of the time and can give her lots of fuss and attention. She would like a big garden to relax and sniff around in. She could live with older children and a calm canine companion.
In foster care: Cleo took a couple of weeks to settle at her foster home. She cried initially but soon settled down. She has been left with the resident dog for company, and on her own, for a short time and was OK, but she does like someone around a lot of the time as this is what she’s used to.
Likes dogs: Cleo loves other dogs she meets on walks. She was an only dog in her previous home but she is currently living with a resident laid-back older dog.
Chases cats: Cleo will need a home without cats.
Loves children: Cleo loves meeting children when out and about. She is living with children aged over 12 years in foster care and could be rehomed to live with older, kind and sensible children.
Enjoys on-lead walks and a nice little rest: Cleo loves everyone she meets on walks and all dogs too. She makes a point of saying hello to everyone and sits at their feet for strokes. Cleo hasn’t been walked off lead as her recall isn’t too good. Befitting of her regal status, when Queen Cleopatra decides she needs a rest, she will simply sit down. You just need to let her get on with resting until she is ready to walk on again, or if she needs to be moved more urgently, calmly give her treats for encouragement. Cleo isn’t a morning person and so she prefers a walk later in the day, or in the evening. She is having two 20-minute walks per day, or one 40-minute walk, depending on how she is feeling on a particular day. Due to allergies, Cleo is probably best walked away from grassy areas.
OK in the car: Cleo likes to sit on the back seat of the car with her dog seatbelt on. She doesn’t like travelling in the boot. Cleo doesn’t like being picked up into the car; she prefers to do it herself.
Cleo’s favourite pastimes: Cleo loves her food and any treats she is given. She also loves having attention, strokes and cuddles. When happy, she will roll around the carpet, and when given belly rubs she will play with you. Cleo enjoys having a Kong, stuffed with carrots and chicken, and this will entertain her for hours. She loves to be bathed and is also partial to drinking water out of flower pots in the garden!
Cleo’s dislikes: She doesn’t like the hoover, mops or long sticks. She is OK about the dustpan and brush but she will bark at the hoover and prefers to go outside away from it.
Health notes: Cleo is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and has been wormed and flea treated. Cleo has had pancreatitis in the past so she is kept on a special Royal Canin Kibble for meals and treats. Cleo has only chicken and carrots as treats as anything else upsets her stomach. She has ongoing, lifelong ear issues and needs a TrizChlor ear flush twice a week. She also has a skin condition for which she has a Malaseb Shampoo wash once per week – you need to wear gloves. She had steroids when it flared up badly. It is perhaps a seasonal allergy and Cleo seems worse when she has been in the grass at the park, so she is now walked on the cycle track instead. Cleo has just started having monthly injections of Cytopoint for the skin condition. She has had conjunctivitis in both eyes and ulceration of her left eye. This has been treated with antibiotics and steroids. The vet advised that she will need a dental at some time in the next year.
Cleo’s foster carer tells us: Cleo is a Diva. She is also comical, affectionate and beautiful. Cleo can be vocal in the home; this is mainly whining for attention and the behaviour is best ignored, especially around mealtimes and when everything else has been offered (toilet, food, walk etc.). Cleo is praised when she is quiet; food is a big treat for her.
If you would like to offer Cleo a permanent home, please read our Adoption Procedures for information about the adoption process. You can then contact an Oldies Club rehoming co-ordinator as follows:
Telephone: 0844 586 8656
Cleo can be rehomed within a 2-hour drive of her foster home, subject to a satisfactory home visit. Note that you will be required to travel to the foster home to collect her.
If you would love to offer a home to an oldie but your circumstances aren’t suitable, perhaps you would be kind enough to sponsor one of the special oldies we are caring for that, due to health problems, are unlikely to be offered a permanent home.

Psalm 51: 1-17
In this passage, David has been approached by the prophet Nathan. David has recently committed adultery with Bathsheba. He also arranged for her husband Uriah to be sent into the most dangerous part of the battle with the Hittites. Doing this, he arranged for Uriah’s death. David could have been put to death because of either of these sins, but he was not. Here David is acknowledging his sins and begging for mercy. God allowed mercy to overcome His judgment and He listened to David’s pleadings. Our merciful God does require of us a sincere and humble confession. He does not require animal sacrifices but He does require a contrite heart. We all have had times in our lives when we have sinned and asked God for forgiveness, and what matters to Him is the sincerity we feel and express.
At a time in my life when I was not close to God, I felt that I could control things and handle my life all by myself. I was young; I landed a good job and moved to a new city. I was a small town girl sowing her oats in the big city. How easy it is to get full of oneself! I decided to marry a young man I barely knew. Twelve years and three children later, I found myself in a situation that was miserable. After many hours of praying for guidance, I filed for divorce. I was aware that I was causing my parents a great deal of anxiety, but I truly felt that I was doing what God wanted me to do. I decided to focus my life on God and my children and not myself. After several years, I became good friends with a fellow teacher. We had similar interests and God was important in his life. We later married. I truly believe that God sent Chiv to me. Chiv was a blessing to me and my children. I thank God every day for forgiving me for the mistakes I’ve made and allowing me to find such a wonderful, loving husband and father for my children. God truly is a merciful God.
Dear Heavenly Father, For Thy mercy and grace we thank You. You have given us such blessings even if we do not deserve them. We ask You to help us to always follow Your guidance and always tell others of Your love and grace. Amen.

“She dropped her shyness like a nightgown,
and in the liquid glare of sunlight on old boards
she held up her hands-as if, in the terror of the upcoming skirmish,
she had at last understood that she was beautiful.
In her own way.”

The enforcement of India’s Data Privacy Act (DPDP) now places a significant spotlight on confidentiality, integrity, and accountability.
BluSapphire Cyber Systems, a product-based organization, primarily focuses on addressing cybersecurity challenges for enterprises across industry verticals.
“As India positions itself as the world’s leading digital economy, this breach is indeed a cause for disappointment and regret. Its impact extends to over 50% of the population. The enforcement of India’s Data Privacy Act (DPDP) now places a significant spotlight on confidentiality, integrity, and accountability. Given the speculation that the source of the breach may be the government entity ICMR, it prompts a discussion about accountability within government institutions, an aspect that was not well captured in the DPDP. The majority of Indians are not typically well-versed in privacy matters, and interactions with government, quasi-government, financial institutions, and service providers often involve sharing physical copies of Aadhar/Passport without clear accountability for how this data is stored, used, or protected. I hope this fuels the debate on government and its institutions’ accountability in regard to its citizens Personally Identifiable Information (PII) data.” Kiran Vangaveti, Founder & CEO, BluSapphire

Staff WriterAkron Beacon JournalWASHINGTON: Kids in remote schools in grizzly bear territory might need protection from the animals, so Donald Trump’s choice to run the Education Department thinks it could be appropriate for teachers and administrators there to carry guns.
Betsy DeVos has told senators considering her nomination that she thinks “I think that’s best left to locales and states to decide” whether guns belong in schools.
She was testifying Tuesday evening before the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee when she cited the example of a rural Wyoming school that she said might benefit from having educators armed with guns.
“I would imagine that there is probably a gun in the school to protect from potential grizzlies,” DeVos said.

Aug 06, Marlee rated it it was amazing. It continues doing this until we end up on a train going into a dark tunnel and we are left with a speck on a black page.
Who were the leaders?
There are so many activities you can do with this book. As you begin to read you notice that the left page is always covered in black and the right page is a different perspective of the page before. It starts istvann in one picture and zooms into another picture within the picture and so on and so on. I liked the second book just as much as the first. Zoom banyaii an Egyptian pyramid to an exotic jungle to a sandy beach. Great for making predictions.
There are many, many details, and some witty ones, with illustrations of my fave Aflred Hitchcock, Pablo Picasso. Bayai the solution have been found faster? For in Istvan Banyai’s mysterious landscapes of pictures within pictures, nothing is ever as it seems.
This book is a must read for people of all ages! Rezom book is amazing! But it is strikingly similar to its predecessor in style, concept, and design; only the subject matter, its least important component, has changed.
RE-ZOOM by Istvan Banyai | Kirkus Reviews
The books contains certain elements found in many postmodern picture books. Rezom page takes the perspective back farther until you see the entire view. The illustrations in this story are so bright and detailed; any child would be drawn to them.
It really gives kids an up close idea of cultural perspectives from around the world. About Istvan Banyai Istvan Banyai http: ReZoom is a great wordless picture book that takes you on a journey through different perspectives.
Check out the top books of the year on our page Best Books of You turn the page, and you see what you previously saw, but it’s not the same. Re-Zoom revisits the joy of Zoom. The illustrations are on the right side and on the left side is a plain black page. These include an emphasis on the role the reader must play in reading and interpreting the images. Wilderdom Store gear, books, kits. We did this book from beginning to end, and then from end to beginning. Participants will generally mill rzeoom talking to others to see whether their pictures have anything in common.
The illustrator moves the reader from an ancient symbol in an obelisk to a city image, to the same image on a poster, which is then inside a movie set. To view it, click here.
The art is colorful and contrasts the all black, blank pages. What prevented such strategies from being considered? If you were to tackle a similar activity again, what do you think this group could do differently? In addition, it also references itself through an image of a bulletin board with the number Re-ZOOM printed on it. Oct 04, Johncady rated it it was amazing. The art reminded me of old comic books and istvah my eyes sing a happy eye-song.
After reading Zoom, I was interested in looking at Re-zoom.
There are no discussion topics on this book yet. The artist has a way of mak Zoom and Re-zoom are both books I would love to have in babyai library! It takes the reader on a wordless journey from one image to the next. I would have never thought of that!
What style of leadership might have worked best? To ask other readers questions about Re-Zoomplease sign up.
Did you try to “second position” i. Pre-readers can read and understand this and should find it fun, yet sometimes a bit of a challenge too, in a good way. Every page is so different than the last, and the pictures have so much to look at. Feb 23, Gina Valdes rated it really liked it. Jan 11, Ashley rated it it was amazing Shelves: Each new page is a surprise. The illustrations are highly detailed and colorful, which completely transports the reader from each s ReZoom revisits the same idea as the original Zoom.
Mar 04, Ashley Cousin rated it it was amazing. Thanks for telling us about the problem.

PUNXSUTAWNEY â€” Of course, the weather was perfect for the induction of Jim Cantore of The Weather Channel as the 2013 inductee into the Meteorologist Hall of Fame at the Punxsutawney Weather Discovery Center on Saturday.
Peggy Johnston, chairperson of the exhibit and program committee for the Weather Discovery Center, read Cantore's introduction for being chosen for the Meteorologist Hall of Fame.
"We are pleased to have him join the ranks of other very accomplished experts in the field of meteorology whose pictures adorn our lobby at the Weather Center," she said.
PUNXSUTAWNEYâ€” Groundhog Day is the one day of the year that brings in visitors from across the nation and other continents.
Traveling from Dallas, Texas, this year were four generations of a family that has made this trek for the fourth time.
Whatâ€™s special about 2013, however, is the addition of the fourth generation, 9-month-old Michael Davis Harmon.
He joined his mother, Kristen Harmon, grandmother Sally Muhl and great-grandmother Donna W. Davis for his first-ever visit to not only Punxsutawney but to Gobbler's Knob.

My name is Dyanie, and I was sexually assaulted by someone impersonating a police officer. I constantly blamed myself for it all, as I was a student studying criminal justice. “I should have known better” is what I kept telling myself. After a two-week investigation by the police, they switched from treating me as a victim to a suspect. They decided after speaking with the Sheriff that the best course of action was to charge me with a misdemeanor of filing a false police report.
A day later, I woke up to my mugshot plastered in news articles and on their police department’s Facebook page. I was not in the right head space for the next following month. I remember the constant blame I put on myself. I’ll never forget the messages I received for the next week after that Facebook post from random people.
I had my first trial appearance in April of 2021. The judge found me guilty of filing a false police report, basically stating that he’s sorry that this happened to me but that he simply doesn’t believe me. I felt so hopeless afterwards. My attorney reassured me that it wasn’t over, and we appealed immediately. In my head, I truly felt like it was over. What would make me believe that the appeals trial would be any different?
The appeals trial was in August 2021. I remember feeling so uneasy and nervous. It was very upsetting to think about the possible outcome, and to be honest, I didn’t have much hope because I didn’t want to be disappointed. After a FULL day being in court, from 9 in the morning to 6 or 7 in the evening, I was so drained… We all waited for the judge’s verdict. I remember my attorney and I held each other’s hands tightly. The judge started off with, “I believe this is a very tough case. I don’t believe that the police officers are the bad guys, but I also don’t believe that Ms. Bermeo lied.” I felt as if I could finally breathe again.
It took me a while to identity as a survivor. I truly felt like I wasn’t at first because of everything that happened after I reported to the police. I’m taking it day by day with my healing journey, and if it wasn’t for the love and support from my friends and family, I don’t know if I’d be here today. I will keep telling my story, in the hope for future reforms and for people to start taking accountability within the system and be the change we need.

Somehow, I think (my) grandpa fletcher would be proud.
Picked this up today at a rummage sale.
18 Chord Silvertone Organ
oh yeah, behold the wonder.
It even came with a few chord books.
Grandpa Fletcher (my grandpa) was always humming and playing music. He often played the piano at our home when he lived with us over the winter months. I remember the piano and organ he had set up in his living room...a larger organ with lots of pretty colored keys. He played both of them wonderfully and was always singing or humming away to his favorite hymns.
Grandpa would always talk about the songs he would play.
"Oh Nomey" (as he called me. he'd always start off with Hey Nomey, do you know me, Nomey?)
"Oh Nomey, do you know this song?"
He'd play a few chords.
"It was very popular in the 20's."
"I was born in 1982, grandpa."
"Oh. So, do you know this song?"
Grandpa loved music and loved Jesus. He passed that on to my dad, who in turn passed it on to me and my siblings. I am definitely the least musically gifted, but still love music. I've been wanting a piano for a while now (mostly for the kids to plunk on and see if they show any interest), and when I found this for 5 bucks, I decided it would do the job nicely.
sure, the Bflat chord button wants to stick on occasion,
but who doesn't love a good harmony.

The Higher Craft- Oracle XIV Gateway (Big Yellow Taxi)
This is the Higher Craft’s 3rd release and a sort of teaser for the next full length record due out next year called Quest into the Stepping Stone Age.My scanner is down and I can't find the cover artwork anywhere on the net so I used the image for their new record, that is not yet out. Gateway starts things off. It is a melodic, dreamy psych rocker that gradually picks up pace and the acoustic guitars fade and the electric come more to the front. Some spacey sounds also fill out the background. It really picks up at the end and is quite psychedelic. Oracle is next and a fast paced 3½ min psychedelic rocker. The sound is very different from the first song and sounds like it is from a live performance. The band really plays fast on sort of chaotic track. Crimson Sky has a very psychedelic start and then the acoustic guitars kick in. The vocals are very ethereal and then the track really develops with some great guitar playing. Inner Realm, is 5½ mins and the last track on the CD. IT also features some really cool guitar playing. This is a very good new psychedelic rock band and they feature a really nice female singer with a lot of personality. I look forward to the new record very much.

All hail GodlikeRoy, newest member of Team Online
Team Online was looking at Oceania. It needed somebody under the Australia or New Zealand flag, someone who could represent the community there better than any player in that part of the world.
There were many candidates. There aren't many poker players in the world who wouldn't take a spot in the PokerStars Team Online stable. It took a while, but the people who choose Team Online members whittled the field down to ten players from he region.
"Roy shined through to win himself the position," said a Team Online manager.
Roy is Roy "GodlikeRoy" Bhasin, an online pro from Sydney.
"I feel incredibly humbled and honored to have been chosen to be a part of Team PokerStars Online," Bhasin said. "It has been a dream of mine for a while now, and to actually see it come true is an incredible feeling."
Bhasin grew up playing games with his family. Competition was in his genes. One night he was deep into a game of Halo with his friends when they took a break to eat some pizza. They flipped on the TV and saw a bunch of people playing poker. Halo quickly became a memory. Bhasin found online poker and hasn't stopped winning since.
Unlike most of his contemporaries who focus on no-limit hold'em, Bhasin is a PLO specialist. He finished runner-up in a 2010 $2,100 SCOOP PLO tourney and has done very well in live PLO events in Australia.
"I truly believe that the game is more fun, complex, interesting and challenging and that all poker players should learn to play it," he said.
Bhasin's screen name "GodlikeRoy" (a hold-over from video gaming days) belies his his laid back nature. He's competitive but also likes to relax with a glass of wine. He's a bit of a connoisseur and has a growing collection of bottles from all over the world.
"I am always eager to try new things and expand my horizons. Whether it be traveling to a new place, eating a new type of food, attempting a new activity or anything in-between," he said. "Much in the same vein, I am always trying to adapt and am open-minded about all forms and types of poker."
Everybody can keep up with Bhasin on his blog www.godlikeroy.com.
Finally, if you're reading from Australia, there will be a special promotional announcement coming up next month. Stay tuned!
Congratulations to Roy Bhasin for his seat at the Team Online table.

Category:Airfields of the United States Army Air Forces in Australia
In the immediate aftermath of the World War II Japanese victory in the Philippines Campaign (1941–1942), the United States Army Air Forces Fifth Air Force withdrew to military airfields in Australia. From these bases, the USAAF, Australian and British Commenwealth air forces engaged the Japanese in the Dutch East Indies Campaign in 1942. Using RAAF forces and with the aircraft and pilots withdrawn from the Philippines and Singapore, the Allies were again defeated in the Dutch East Indies, and the Allies prepared for the expected Japanese invasion of Australia.
During 1942, with reinforcements arriving from the United States, General Douglas MacArthur took the fight north to Papua New Guinea, with aircraft from these airfields supporting Allied operations. By the beginning of 1943, most fighters and bombers had moved north to airfields in New Guinea, and by 1944 most of these Australian airfields were relegated to a support role for transport aircraft and as maintenance and supply facilities for the Allied forces moving towards the Philippines and in the Central Pacific.
Most of these airfields were closed in late 1944 or early 1945. Some returned to being civil airports; some were redeveloped into other uses, and others were abandoned to the elements leaving the runways and other areas to the ravages of time, sill visible today in aerial imagery.

A new ad featuring talking chickens threatens to further place embattled Iowa Senate Democratic candidate Rep. Bruce Braley on the defensive for attempting to sue his next-door neighbor over chickens she uses as therapy animals for autistic children.
The viral ad, sponsored by Americans for Prosperity (AFP), comes just eight days before Braley, a lawyer, faces off with Republican rising star Joni Ernst in a race that political analysts say could alter the balance of power in the U.S. Senate.
The new ad features two barnyard chickens located “Somewhere in Iowa” mocking Braley’s unneighborly behavior as being out of touch and just “Not very Iowa.”
“Dude, they left the gate open. Let’s go for a walk,” one chicken says to the other.
“No way. Last time we did that we almost got sued,” says the other chicken.
“What are you talking about?”
“Well, remember when we were chilling by Bruce Braley’s vacation home?…He threatened to sue over that.”
“Because we walked on his property?”
“Uh-huh. He wants to be an Iowa Senator, and he threatens to sue over us–over chickens.”
“That’s not very neighborly.”
“It’s not very Iowa.”
The Iowa race remains one of the nation’s most competitive and closely watched. According to the RealClearPolitics average of polls, Ernst currently maintains a slender 2.2% lead over Braley. In August, Braley denied the chicken lawsuit charges to the Washington Post. “This was a personal dispute between my wife and a neighbor because chickens were on our property all the time,” Braley told the Post.
Still, Braley’s chicken neighbor feud debacle has plagued the Iowa Democrat’s campaign for months and has morphed into a crystallizing campaign narrative of an out of touch Washington politician who has broken faith with Iowa farmers and voters.
“Braley could be the perfect mascot for Democrats in an election year where nothing has gone their way, and the party’s chances of holding on to the majority of the Senate seem to get dimmer by the day,” reported The Atlantic on Saturday.
Iowans head to the polls on Nov. 4.
